You're Crossing the Red Mansions

After Madam Xing left, You Xiaoxiao frowned, knowing that Mother Jia would not let it go.Thinking about it carefully, it is estimated that Yuanchun's day as a concubine is coming soon.Since having this virtuous concubine in the West Mansion, they have become confident. If the old lady leans on the old lady in front of Yuanchun again and says something, I can't refute her, and it will be even more difficult to separate her in the future.Seeing that her sister-in-law was so preoccupied, Xichun knew that it was difficult to do things for her own sake, so she hurriedly said, "I just told my second sister that she will go back and help persuade my wife." With the top-notch Tanchun in front of her, the two sisters had no choice but to unite even more closely.Seeing that Xichun returned to the mansion, living a comfortable life, the whole person was filled with the joy of being the master of the house, Yingchun was very envious, and seeing Xichun was always afraid of going back to the mansion again, so she hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry. The eldest wife doesn't like to meddle in other people's business." She has been with her aunt for a long time, and she gradually understands that her personality is not as left-handed and unreasonable as the word of mouth in the house, just because the second wife is in the house. The old lady was over-run, and her own father was self-defeating. He just cared about spending time and drinking, regardless of the floods behind him. I found that she also knows the cold and the hot, and she knows how to listen to people's persuasion when she talks and does things.Now watching Sister-in-law Zhen's behavior makes people unable to find fault, and it's good for me. When I go back, I just want to persuade my wife, don't be such a pretentious ghost for the old lady, that's really boring.If it is said that the family really treats the fourth younger sister, that’s all right. Usually, they don’t care about it, and even a painting tool has to be bought by themselves, but at this time they always yell for them to take it back. They have something to eat at home. Drinking, being comfortable, living like a dignified and dignified young lady, how hard it is to return to your house.

You Xiaoxiao naturally thought a little deeper than Xichun, she was still a child after all, needless to say so much.Seeing that the sky was getting longer, he asked someone to take the girl back to take a nap, and then went to Jia Zhen to discuss countermeasures.The husband and wife discussed it for a long time, and felt more and more that it was not that simple for Jia's mother to keep Xichun by her side.In fact, it is true that the ancestors in the previous lives were brothers, but in the current generation, one generation is not as good as the other.There are no promising people in the West Manor now, Jia Amnesty is drunk, Jia Zheng is incompetent, Jia Zhu is promising, but unfortunately died young, as for Jia Baoyu, who is three years old, grabs rouge and gouache, and now only follows Sister and sister are spinning around, even Jia Lan has no ambition, and the future is at stake.Not to mention Jia Lian, the eldest grandson of the eldest house, who was disturbed by Sister Feng all the time, and his husband was depressed, and he himself was an ignorant person.

Looking at the East Mansion again, although Jia Jing said he was looking for immortals, he was still a Jinshi. Jia Zhen used to be ridiculous, but now she is the patriarch and knows how to discipline her son to benefit the family. Jia Rong is much more promising than before.The husband and wife are still discussing, waiting for Jia Rong to finish her studies, even if she spends money to buy it, she will also buy it in the Imperial College.Jia Zhen still thought it was difficult to handle at first, but You Xiaoxiao said, Captain Long is only a few thousand taels of silver, and it's not that our family doesn't have places for supervisors, how much can we buy one?The East Mansion is so prosperous, the old lady of the West Mansion is definitely not willing to let people go.The two of them are alone and weak, and there is no deterrent effect if they go to the West Mansion to make their words clear, and the old lady who is as mature as a child can be sent back with a word.In order to make Jia's mother speechless, she finally decided to ask Jia Jing to come out of the mountain. After all, Jia's mother took Xichun from Jia Jing's hands, and now she wants to take it back.

But the problem has also arisen, the master has long said that he does not want to be contaminated with the world of mortals, whether he can fall into the world for his daughter is really unknown.Moreover, Jia Zhen was also very afraid of Lao Tzu since she was a child. He didn't live up to expectations in his studies, and he was often beaten by Lao Tzu. He wished he could see each other less.Seeing him hesitating, You Xiaoxiao said, "Your sister is the master's own daughter, so you can ignore it? Master, according to my idea, tomorrow our whole family will go to Xuanzhen Temple, there is no need to do anything else." Say, just let the younger sister tell the master about the difficulties of living in the West Mansion!" Jia Zhen actually hated the ruthlessness of the West Mansion in her heart, and her heart was chilled after coming down several times, and if Xichun went back, she couldn't do it. Some face.If I can keep my sister in the mansion smoothly, then we can live our own lives behind closed doors.Knowing that he had finally made up his mind, You Xiaoxiao hurriedly arranged the kitchen to prepare vegetarian snacks, and sent out to buy some rare fruits to buy more, preparing to go to Xuanzhen Temple the next day.That night, I went to Hefengyuan again to find Xichun and gave him some detailed instructions.In fact, Xichun even forgot what Lao Tzu's face looks like, but he is still his father, and whether he wants to go back to Xifu depends on his father's attitude, and he knows how to speak.

In the early morning of the second day, You Xiaoxiao took Xichun in a car, Jia Zhen followed Jia Rong on horseback, and the family members behind drove a carriage, snack boxes, melon and fruit boxes, quilts and clothes, etc. Supplies, loaded with a full car along with it.Because they didn't dare to disturb Jia Jing, they didn't send anyone here the day before yesterday. When they arrived at Xuanzhen Temple, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong went in first and drove the Taoist priests back to their own rooms. Xichun comes down.

Everyone gathered in the small room outside the abode and waited. Jia Zhen went in first to salute, and after a while she came out dejectedly. You Xiaoxiao rushed up to meet her, and Jia Zhen said: "The master said, let's go back, filial piety knows." Xichun tugged at her sister-in-law's skirt, and lowered her head.You Xiaoxiao hurriedly asked: "Did you say it?" Jia Zhen said: "The master didn't say anything after hearing it." Xichun raised her face, and she was about to cry when she was wronged.You Xiaoxiao said: "You are useless." Then she took Xichun's hand and sent it inside: "Sister, your brother is useless, but sister-in-law is not easy to go in. Don't be afraid, just kowtow to the master when you go in. Call Daddy, then just cry, wait for the master to ask you, and then you can explain the important things clearly, don't worry, you are the master's own daughter, even if you are hard-hearted, you will have to melt."

Xichun was encouraged, and went inside after listening to her sister-in-law.Jia Zhen listened to her teaching, exchanged glances with Jia Rong, and sat on the side silently.Seeing that Jia Rong sat down with Jia Zhen, You Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, "Brother Rong, have you taken the homework I asked you to bring? I have also been reviewing the books for the past few days, and I will wait for your girl to come out later. Go in and kowtow to the master, and hand over your homework." Jia Rong hurriedly stood up and answered yes.Yesterday, You Xiaoxiao specially instructed that the opportunity is rare, and Brother Rong must take advantage of this time to ask the master for advice.At any rate, he was a Jinshi of the day, so he naturally had splendid articles in his stomach.

Everyone was waiting anxiously, and suddenly Xichun came out, with red eyes, followed by an old man in a Taoist uniform, with white beard and hair, he really had a bit of fairy air.You Xiaoxiao was in a daze, but Jia Zhen went up to meet her and said, "Master!" Only then did You Xiaoxiao realize that it was Jia Jing, and hurriedly saluted.Jia Jing looked at her daughter and daughter-in-law very close together, full of trust, and looked at You Xiaoxiao kindly: "It's hard for a daughter-in-law to worry about these days." You Xiaoxiao quickly said that he didn't dare.Looking at his son and grandson, Jia Jing said calmly, "I'll go back home with you to rest for the night."

Everyone in the East Mansion successfully welcomed Jia Jing back home, and Mrs. Xing went back to the mansion that day and told Jia's mother about cherishing the spring.Jia's mother asked, "Why are you still sick?" Mrs. Xing apologized and said with a smile: "Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law said it's not good..." Jia's mother knew that the eldest daughter-in-law was always stupid, so she had to ask more clearly One point: "Did you go and see?" Mrs. Xing was a little nervous when she lied in front of her mother-in-law for the first time. In the hall, the maids took me to see my fourth younger sister, who is still lying down." She said this tactfully, she was just lying down, whether she was sick or not, it just depends on what others said.Seeing that Yingchun was able to rescue her at the critical moment, Mrs. Xing felt a lot in her heart, thinking that she was her own girl after all, and the pain was not in vain.Seeing the mother and daughter singing together and cooperating very tacitly, Mother Jia saw that although she was full of doubts, she couldn't let it out. After thinking about it, she said: "Forget it, you are tired after a walk, go back early and have a rest." Bar."

Seeing that the eldest daughter-in-law went out with her granddaughter, and Jia's mother was lying on the couch with Yuanyang gently beating her shoulders beside her, the old lady felt that something was vaguely wrong.Just when I couldn't grasp the clue, Mrs. Wang came in a hurry.Mother Jia opened her eyes and saw that the second daughter-in-law had arrived, so she got up slowly and said, "What's the matter, I'm so anxious." Mrs. Wang held a letter in her hand, which was written by Lin Ruhai to Jia Zheng. Pass it to the mother-in-law and transfer it to her own hands.Jia Zheng is impatient with mundane affairs, so he just leaves these short stories to his wife.Mrs. Wang found someone to read it, and when she heard that she had recovered, she thanked her uncles and sisters-in-law for taking care of Daiyu.Here, Jia's mother was very happy to hear that Lin Ruhai was healthy. Seeing Mrs. Wang's expressionless expression, she knew that her wishful thinking had come to nothing. Collect things from the Lin family, but since Uncle Lin has nothing to do, it doesn't matter, as long as Daiyu marries in in the future, not all of the Lin family's belongings belong to Baoyu, so I can't help but despise my daughter-in-law for a short time.Mrs. Wang saw that Jia Mu's face remained unchanged, but she felt regretful and anxious. She knew the old lady's plan in her heart, but she could ask for money from the Lin family, but she absolutely couldn't be her own daughter-in-law.

"Old lady, Mrs. Lin's letter also mentioned that Brother Zhen from Dongfu sent a famous doctor there, so he took the medicine and healed up." Madam Wang resented Dongfu's meddling in her heart, so she deliberately made the matter clear, and then said After handing over the letter, Mother Jia read it with her crystal glasses before she was surprised, huh?What does this mean in Dongfuli?Coupled with the matter of Xichun today, she couldn't help but become suspicious.She is old, so she is not as restless as Mrs. Wang, she just smiled and said: "Brother Zhen has a heart." Then she said: "Listen to my uncle, your niece will come back with Lian'er these few days, Hurry up and clean up the house." Since Lin Daiyu left, the little girls in her room have also become lazy, the dust is everywhere, no one supervises, Mrs. Wang just pretends not to know, but Sister Feng has taught her a few times behind her back. But after all, it is not as good as when there are people living in it.Mother Jia's eyes are as bright as a mirror, and she knows that the second daughter-in-law is eager to escape from her palm, but it's not convenient to worry about such trivial matters with her, and Baoyu's future matters still have to be decided by herself.

Mrs. Wang left Jia's mother's house and first went to Sister Feng's yard to ask questions. She had to ask Jia Lian what he was eating there, but she didn't know to report a letter in advance.Sister Feng is shrewd, she had heard a letter from Aunt Lin long ago, and knew what had happened, and then she heard the report that the wife had come out of the old lady's room with a bad face, so she hurriedly told Ping'er a few words, and she fell into Li Wan's room went.Along the way, I couldn't help but sneer in my heart. This lawsuit can't be covered. Ever since Lin Daiyu left, my aunt often said behind her back that she was against her father, her mother, and her younger brother. Just marry Daiyu.But from the first day when Lin Daiyu entered the mansion, the old lady made up her mind to give her to Baoyu, why not let her live with her?And kicked all the granddaughters out?The poor aunt took Daiyu's hand the first day she came, telling her that Baoyu was the devil of the world, but the sisters in the family ignored him, and told her to stay away from her in the future.If the little girl in her room hadn't slipped her tongue, I don't know that the always dull eldest aunt could have such eloquence.Afterwards, she didn't just slap her when she was alive. Didn't Miss Shi go to Brother Ai first when she came back?The old lady continued to intervene and insisted on letting the two children live together. If it was unclear, the eldest aunt was really anxious. Hearing that the second aunt was going to Beijing, she insisted on letting her live in the mansion.The second aunt is also an honest person, and she guessed that she begged the master to excuse the fool Xue so she was unwilling to refute her words. Even Lixiangyuan, who was sent to live in Jiaomen, was not second-guessing, but she was serious about sending her daughter into the palace as a backup However, the eldest aunt still had the nerve to think about Baochai's idea.After looking at it coldly for so long, counting all the sisters in the family, few of them can match Baochai's scheming and calculation. It's no wonder she has Baoyu in her eyes.When will the eldest aunt wake up? Even if Baochai wears a golden lock, it's not for Baoyu to match. Besides, who doesn't have a few gold locks these days, so it's worth showing off?Looking at it now, it would be better to have Daiyu, because the love that grew up with Baoyu is still there, and now her father is better, without the notoriety of overcoming the whole family, what is the family and furniture not worthy of?

Jia's mother was thinking hard about Dongfu's meddling in Lin Ruhai's matter, thinking that this favor was given to Dongfu for nothing, and she didn't know what Dongfu's plans were.Suddenly I heard a report from outside that Mrs. Li was coming.Mrs. Li is Jia Dairu's wife, and she is of the same generation as Jia's mother. She is usually timid, so it is rare to come here.Mother Jia couldn't care less about her ancestor's face, so she cried out quickly.Mrs. Li came in wiping her tears, and Mother Jia said, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?" The people in the village will send their children to their homes when they know about it, but why should our family chew on it?" Jia Mu was a little confused when she heard that, and she didn't know when a school would appear in the Ning's mansion.The old lady Li cried again, the family only paid 150 taels of silver for expenses a year, and she was very tight, if there were no children who sent three melons and two dates, she and the old man would have to drink the northwest wind.Now that Jia Zhen has come forward to open a study, what's the matter with the study in the clan?My old man worked so hard to teach for the clan, how could he end up like this?She was crying as she talked, because she inquired carefully, and said how much money Jia Zhen gave her husband a year, and the daily expenses in the study were all free. Jia's mother just heard the way, and it turned out that she was complaining about Jia Zhen starting a private school again, but she didn't know. Ask Jia Dairu to teach in the past.Mother Jia asked someone to take ten taels of silver and finally sent her away.I sat and meditated for a while, and slowly tasted the taste. Now it seems that Jia Zhen is more promising than before. She also knows how to send a doctor to Mrs. Lin, and re-opened a study for the clan. She is really capable. .Since this is the case, Xichun can't stay in Dongfu, why not pick her up by car tomorrow and see what else they have to say.
