You're Crossing the Red Mansions

But she said that Xichun took care of her illness and stayed in the East Mansion. Because of the neatness of Fengyuan, there was nothing missing around her for a while, only a few stationery she used to leave there in the mansion. Send someone to the West Mansion to get it back.You Xiaoxiao thought for a while, and said: "Don't move, it's not good if the West Mansion finds out, sister, if you need something, write a list, and I'll send someone outside to buy it for you." Xichun is now He said everything to his sister-in-law, and felt that it made sense, so he went back and recorded the list and sent it to Xinlan Courtyard in person.

Although Xichun returned to the mansion for several days, Jia Zhen never had the nerve to show her face.As a direct elder brother, I feel deeply ashamed of my sister for not asking about it for so many years, so I let You Xiaoxiao pass on the word every time, saying that my sister must not be a stranger at home, and you can open your mouth if you want to eat. My sister is ours. The serious lady in the mansion, mother-in-law and girl, if you are worried, don't be wronged, just tell your sister-in-law, send it out and get a new one.Seeing that Jia Zhen is hiding like this, it's not a problem, You Xiaoxiao persuaded her by the pillow at night: "Master, my sister has been staying at our house for a few days, so you should come out and have a look." squeak.You Xiaoxiao said again: "Sister also has to be strong-tempered. Although I am my own sister-in-law, I am talking about it every day, but you are my brother anyway. I think my wife will entrust it to you when she leaves. There is only one sister in our family." Daughter, let's meet and talk sometime." Hearing her sincere words, Jia Zhen couldn't help sighing, "It's all because of my carelessness. I have been wronged for many years, and I feel uncomfortable as a brother, I am sorry for the entrustment of my wife, how can I have the face to see my sister!"

You Xiaoxiao could be forgiven for hearing this, so she said again: "How about this, my sister will come to eat with me tomorrow, and the uncle will come in when I pick it up..." Listening to Jia Zhen's silence, You Xiaoxiao knew that she had no objection Confused, he went on to say: "Last night I went through the warehouse and saw a lot of locked boxes. I asked my mother-in-law and found out that it was the dowry brought by my wife. I thought I should send it to my sister." Jia Zhen listened and hurriedly Said: "Madam's dowry, you and your younger sister should share it equally, the original wife also ordered you to do so." You Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "This is because my wife and uncle love me, but I am thinking, when my younger sister gets married in the future, I still have to pay the dowry." Well-prepared, it is easy to talk when you enter your husband's house, how about this, the uncle will hand over the wife's dowry list to the younger sister after dinner tomorrow, and then say a few good words, the younger sister is a smart person, so she knows that the uncle is so I have been thinking about it in my heart for many years, but I was blindfolded by the people in the West Mansion!" Jia Zhen heard that her words were reasonable, and she was so considerate of the overall situation, she was so happy and loving in her heart, she couldn't help but leaned over and became cloudy again .

On the second day, You Xiaoxiao ordered the small kitchen to open a table of dishes, and then invited Xichun to come over.When Xichun came back to the East Mansion, she always followed her temperament. If she liked to come, she would have a meal together, and if she didn't like to leave, she would send someone to send her there.She is still somewhat withdrawn, so she often eats at Hefeng Courtyard.Seeing today, Xichun came to invite me solemnly, knowing that there was something to do, so I hurriedly tidied up.You Xiaoxiao greeted her in person, looking at Xichun's chin that was getting more and more moist, she couldn't help joking, "Your sister is getting fatter." Xichun lowered her head and smiled sheepishly.

When she lived as a sojourner in the West Mansion, although eating with the old lady was not bad, it was no worse than being self-willed and free at home. When she saw someone putting chopsticks at the table, she had to follow her, but I was afraid she would be laughed at if she ate too much. , I dare not eat more of the dishes I like, for fear that others will say that I have no restraint.But when she is growing up, sometimes she is hungry and uncomfortable. She secretly asks for an extra meal from the kitchen, but because she has no money, she is repeatedly pushed back by the people in the kitchen, or prevaricated with some unbearable things. Yes, sometimes I can't get my mouth off.Although he was angry, he was thinking that one more thing is worse than one less thing, and he was also afraid that people's jokes would be eaten up, so he endured everything.When I came to Dongfu, I was cautious and timid for the first few days. I was afraid that it would not be easy to live under the eyes of my sister-in-law. Force her here and there, everything depends on her own decision, even the daily routine is omitted, and it is time for your child to sleep, get up early, don't run around on an empty stomach, and sleep as long as you can.At first I was afraid that people would laugh at me, so I got up early every day, and then I slacked off, as expected, no one said anything.As for eating, I had to go to Xinlan Courtyard a few times at the beginning, and then my sister-in-law sent someone to the room directly, and she was busy adding a small kitchen to Hefeng Courtyard, so she could cook what she liked, but she couldn't do it. partial eclipse.The small kitchen of Xinlanyuan cooks very well. In addition to the main meals, there are countless meat and vegetable snacks, soups, seasonal melons and fruits, etc., which are delivered every two hours. I originally said no, but my sister-in-law said your nephew We also need to make up for studying, so let's be an aunt and enjoy the blessings with your nephew.As a result, Xichun also felt that she had indeed become a little plump.

The aunt and sister-in-law sat down and talked for a while, You Xiaoxiao said: "Your brother wants to see you, but always feels shameless." When Xichun heard this, she didn't say anything, just poked her chopsticks on the table There is a cold plate of hot and sour dried bamboo shoots, one after another.Seeing this, You Xiaoxiao said again: "My good sister, your brother is careless, if he had known..." She swallowed her words, and Xichun's eyes turned red.Just in time, the door opened with a "squeak" and Jia Zhen walked in. You Xiaoxiao saw that he was wearing brand-new clothes, his eyes were a little nervous, and he looked a little at a loss, so she hurriedly stood up and led him to the door. In front of Xichun, she pushed him and said, "Hurry up and accompany my sister!" After saying that, she took Yindie out and left the house to the two brothers and sisters.

After Yindie came out, she secretly smiled and said, "I've never seen you like this before..." You Xiaoxiao sighed, "His own sister is also of the same mother, how can she not be hurt?" While going to the small kitchen, Supervising all kinds of dishes, Guo'er saw the master coming, and hurriedly greeted him: "But the hot dishes are going to be served?" Yindie smiled and nodded her forehead: "Silly boy, you saw that the eldest grandma came to urge you to serve the dishes in person." I came here to see if your little hoof is lazy!" You Xiaoxiao didn't come here for a long time, and when she saw that the place was clean and everyone was in order, she praised: "Everyone has worked hard, and this month has taken a lot of burdens. For errands, Yindie, each will reward two taels of silver." Everyone was overjoyed, Yindie responded, and went out with You Xiaoxiao, and said in a low voice: "Nowadays, when the master and the girl are eating with us, most of the time, But the big kitchen has no errands..." You Xiaoxiao nodded and said: "I also thought about it, there are only a few people in this small kitchen, it's not good to keep going, but Zhou Xiang's family is asked to take up the job of the big kitchen. Looking at the days, I can be considered honest and fawning, so I still let her do the errands in my small kitchen. Also, I sent Guoer to the small kitchen of Hefengyuan. Can't be wronged." Yindie also nodded and said: "Yes, there are more and more people in the study recently, our small kitchen is small after all, and we can't be busy preparing meals for many people..."

At first, only Jia Rong and Jia Qiang studied with Jia Yun's natal nephew in the Dongfu's study room. Because Xiao Rujing, a great scholar, was invited to come, the people in the clan who knew about the matter couldn't help being more thoughtful, except for Jia Zhu, Jia Zhu and Jia Qiang. The children of Chang, Jia Ling, etc., some even begged Grandma Zhen to send her natal nephew and nephew together.You Xiaoxiao discussed with Jia Zhen, thinking that this was a good thing to accumulate good fortune and virtue, so she expanded the room by three more rooms, made it a serious study hall, and solemnly accepted students.Xiao Rujing came back every three days. Originally, he left without lunch, but one day he was unable to go home for dinner because of something at noon, so he harassed him in Ningguo Mansion. Dang even praised him, and he came back every time. They had to eat before leaving.You Xiaoxiao knew it was interesting, picked up his favorite food and put them in boxes, and took a lot of honey and snacks, and ordered the servant to accompany Mr. Xiao to his home.

The two went out of the small kitchen, thinking about it, but saw the door opened, Jia Zhen came out, saw her and said with a smile: "Hurry up and serve, my sister and I are both hungry." You Xiaoxiao saw him smiling , Knowing that the siblings had a good chat, Yindie hurriedly went back to the small kitchen to order food.You Xiaoxiao came in with Jia Zhen, but when she saw Xichun coming to salute, You Xiaoxiao hurriedly stood up and said, "Sister, what are you doing? You're going to kill me, please get up!" Xichun insisted on refusing, she After talking with my elder brother, I became more aware of my sister-in-law's sincerity, so I said: "As the saying goes, a sister-in-law is like a mother, and I will live by my sister-in-law from now on... My sister-in-law doesn't despise me, so she takes me back. If my sister-in-law treats me like a sister Just accept my gift with peace of mind." You Xiaoxiao's nose was sore from what she said, and she said: "My dear sister, we are all of the same family, what are you doing heretic!" He took out the envelope and handed it to You Xiaoxiao, and whispered: "This is my mother's dowry, sister-in-law, you keep it all for me, and wait for the future..." The little girl blushed as she spoke.You Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Wait for the future when our son-in-law will get on the big horse and bring eight big sedan chairs to marry our eldest girl!" Xichun bowed her head shyly and remained silent.You Xiaoxiao finished joking, and said sternly: "Sister, this is left for you by your wife, you just keep it and save it for your dowry." Xichun wanted to say something more, and Jia Zhen said: "Okay, okay, Let's eat first...my sister just keep it, you are the only girl in our house, these should be left to you."

So the whole family sat down and had a nice meal with Meimei. They didn't eat two mouthfuls, but they heard the news that Mrs. Xifu brought the second girl from outside.You Xiaoxiao first put down her chopsticks and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that the eldest lady came here just in time for dinner!" Jia Zhen heard this, so she had to stand up: "I cooked a table of delicious dishes for my sister, but I ate them." It's gone." Then she walked out, You Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "Master, go to the study and wait, I asked the girls to save food boxes and send them over." Yindie hurriedly went to the small kitchen to send a message.You Xiaoxiao got up and went to pick up Mrs. Xing, but Xichun said nervously: "Sister-in-law, is the eldest lady here to pick me up?" Seeing that she was afraid, You Xiaoxiao quickly comforted her: "It should be, but don't be afraid, You just follow me, when the time comes, eat the meal together first, and then talk about other things." Then he ordered the small kitchen to add more dishes, and took Xichun out to greet him after the arrangement was complete.

Mrs. Xing didn't come here on purpose, it was Jia Mu who urged her to come here, and she didn't care about the time when she brought Yingchun.You Xiaoxiao came up to her with a smile on her face and said: "I heard the magpies cry when I got up early, so it can be seen that my wife loves me, so she came to see me." Xichun's face is flushed, it can be seen that the "sickness" has been cured long ago, is it true that as Yingchun said, the East Mansion is going to take Xichun back and not go to the West Mansion?

You Xiaoxiao brought Mrs. Xing to the inner courtyard, and said, "Madam, can you eat? If it's useless, then come with us. It just so happens that we have a newly made roasted duck in our kitchen. I don't know how they came up with it." The method is to stew with the oranges stored in the ice cellar last year. It is eaten at this time. I tasted better than roasted chicken. There are also sweet-scented osmanthus and rock sugar elbows. After several hours of stewing, the bones are crispy and the meat is tender. It smells delicious! My wife, don’t worry about eating Xu, there is also a good sour plum soup, sweet and sour is the most appetizing." After saying that, he took his seat, and Mrs. Xing and Yingchun were naturally empty stomachs When I came here, I saw that the table was full of pots and bowls overlapping, whether it was so rich, I became hungry.Yindie stared at the little girl kneeling and bringing water to clean the hands of their mothers, and You Xiaoxiao personally served vegetables to flatter her. Mrs. Xing and Yingchun looked at each other, and then sat down to eat.

When she was full of wine and food, You Xiaoxiao stared at the table and withdrew the table, and then asked Mrs. Xing, "If the duck tastes good after eating it, you can bring a box to the old lady to taste it." Mrs. Xing nodded, and said again: "Ying'er, take your sister out to digest food, then go to Huifang Garden to see if there are any flowers. You two have not seen each other for a long time, so you should say Let's talk." Dismissing the little girls, Mrs. Xing changed the topic and said with a sigh: "Brother Zhen, daughter-in-law, your second sister told me that your family wants to keep the fourth girl?" I have a lot of experience, and I don't mention Xichun's recuperation.Seeing that she wasn't telling the truth, You Xiaoxiao said, "Uncle Zhen has this plan, and it happens that my younger sister lives comfortably at home, so we didn't let her go back." Madam Xing lowered her voice: "The old lady is forced Let me take the fourth sister away!" Hearing what she said, You Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "The eldest lady only said that the fourth sister is still ill..." Mrs. Xing sneered: "Brother Zhen, daughter-in-law, don't be too Bullying people, always making me the young bird, I can't bear the old lady's blame!"

Seeing her angry, You Xiaoxiao said in a calm and unhurried manner: "Ma'am, you have wronged me! I just told you to tell the old lady that the fourth sister is ill. If you can't bring her back, the old lady can't tell you What." Mrs. Xing didn't dare to panic in front of Jia Mu, she was panicked in her heart: "If the old lady asks how the fourth girl is sick..." You Xiaoxiao didn't expect Mrs. Xing to be so honest, and everything was right. Dare to hide it from her mother-in-law, so she said: "Madam, don't be embarrassed, just say that you didn't see the fourth girl when you came to the house. Madam, don't worry, if there is anything wrong, just let me push it." It's all about this. In the morning, seeing that Mrs. Xing was still worried and worried, You Xiaoxiao sighed deliberately: "Madam, you are too honest!" Mrs. Xing was immediately blushed by her words.She is Jia Amnesty's successor, and her family background is incomparable with the Jia family, so she has always respected her mother-in-law when she came in.If she hadn't been chilled by Jia Mu's eccentricity, Mrs. Xing would really be a good daughter-in-law.Because what You Xiaoxiao said made sense, the East Mansion wouldn't let her go, and the West Mansion couldn't come over to rob her. Besides, Xichun was originally a girl from the East Mansion, so it was justifiable to live at home.Brother Zhen and his daughter-in-law are very knowledgeable, and Yingchun also persuaded her a lot to prevent her from getting into this muddy water, so Mrs. Xing had no choice but to go back to the house, following what You Xiaoxiao said He replied to Jiamu.
