You're Crossing the Red Mansions

Just after the new year, Baochai happened to have her 16th birthday, because she negotiated with Feng's family to get married on the sixth day of the fifth lunar month, now she only cares about getting married, not as anxious as before.You Xiaoxiao made a special trip to Xue's residence after confinement. Seeing that her second sister was in charge of the family affairs, she knew that she was soft-hearted, so she asked Baochai to teach her more in front of Aunt Xue, so as not to be intimidated in the future. People, it will add trouble to the mansion.Aunt Xue had wanted to speak for a long time, but she was afraid that her daughter-in-law would be unhappy. Seeing that her aunt and grandma had solved the problem by acting like this, she became more affectionate.So I asked the third sister if she rejected her.You Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "How can it be so fast, she is watching the business for me." Aunt Xue said: "I see the third girl very well, and I want to be a matchmaker, I'm afraid my aunt and grandma will hate it." You Xiaoxiao listened, She smiled and said, "I don't know how to answer my wife's words." Aunt Xue said with a smile, "We Pan'er has a cousin, because his sister is going to Beijing this year to marry Mei Hanlin's son. , he came with his sister, and he will arrive in about ten days. There are not many old people left in our family, so I told him to just stay in the capital. Shangxin also expanded her appearance, and you need a brother to fight a tiger, so let him help his brother." You Xiaoxiao thought about it, knowing that Aunt Xue was going to tell Xue Biao about the third sister.Although Xue Biao has no great prospects, he is responsible enough. In the original book, Xing Xiuyan and Xing Xiuyan are considered a match made in heaven. Now that Xue's family has moved out of Rongguo Mansion, it is difficult for the two to continue their relationship. With his stability, it is naturally good that the third sister can marry. of.So he said with a smile, "Maybe this second master Xue is not married yet?" Aunt Xue nodded and said, "This kid is also very temperamental. He insists on marrying his sister before we can talk about marriage. I have met you three girls before, and I am afraid of Gao Pan No." You Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "My wife is flattering us, that's all, let's discuss it carefully after the second master comes to Beijing." Aunt Xue knew that You Xiaoxiao agreed, and she was very happy at the moment.Now that the Ningguo Mansion is a big nobleman, if You Xiaoxiao hadn't been able to help her, Baochai's marriage would not have been so smooth. Naturally, the closer the relationship, the better.

After leaving Xue's mansion, You Xiaoxiao was going to Rongguo's mansion again. Since Jia She was replaced as the head of the house, she hadn't been there yet.Sister Feng got the news early and came out to meet her, You Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "I should greet the old lady first." Sister Feng walked to the upper room arm in arm and smiled all the way, only to see the room full of girls clustered together, Diefeiyanwu, You Xiaoxiao smiled first: "Oh, I'm dazzled by many girls." Jia Mu was playing with Li Wen and others wiping dominoes, and when she saw her, she came to ask Brother Xing first.You Xiaoxiao sat down, met Aunt Li Xing, and gave a set of hairpin rings to the girls as a meeting gift, and then replied: "He is very well, when he is older, he will naturally hug the old lady to say hello." Jia Mu Le said: "Your father-in-law is happier now." You Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Yes, the old man is in great pain, and I have to watch it every day." Everyone started gossiping again, and Jia Mu said "You won't come for a long time, I'm afraid your sister-in-law has something to say, and I asked Feng girl to prepare some good dishes for you, so I don't need to set rules in front of my eyes." You Xiaoxiao was about to inquire about Mrs. Wang's affairs, and hurriedly said with a smile "It's the old lady after all, how can our small thoughts escape your eyes." Just as she was about to go out with Sister Feng, she suddenly saw a mandarin duck running in with disheveled hair, and everyone jumped.

Jia's mother treated Yuanyang like her own daughter, and she didn't blame her for being rude when she saw this, she just said, "What's the matter?" Yuanyang just lowered her head and cried without speaking. When Lang Geer coughed a few times, I was going back to have a look." Then he said: "Wen'er, Qier will go with me." After saying that, he left.Xing Xiuyan was also clever, so she went out with her.Seeing that all the girls in the hall had left, Yuanyang cried out: "Because the magnolia bloomed well in early spring, the servant girl thought that the old lady likes elegance, so she folded a vase from the garden. It's also..." Mother Jia heard, why didn't she know what was going on, she trembled angrily and said, "What is he doing in your house?" Yuanyang lowered his head and said, "The second master said he wanted to greet the old lady, I know The wives, grandmas and girls are all inconvenient, so they say they will stay in the servant's room for a while, who knows..." Sister Feng and You Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exchanged glances when she heard this.Mrs. Xing frowned and remained silent.Jia's mother asked, "What did he tell you?" Yuanyang cried, "It was fine at first, but the second master suddenly said that he wanted to take slaves and maidservants into his house. Following the example of Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou, slaves and maids would not From the second master..." Before Jiamu finished listening, she said angrily, "He is so courageous! How courageous! How dare this bastard insult your mother and maidservant!" Mrs. Xing saw that Jiamu was very angry, and she was afraid of accidents. , Hastily went over to persuade: "Old lady, calm down for now!" Jia Mu said angrily: "There is a girl who is close to me, and you don't want to let it go!" Sister Feng was about to open her mouth when Yuanyang knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously: "I would rather serve the old lady for the rest of my life! Please help the old lady!" Seeing this, You Xiaoxiao only sighed inwardly. The Eldest Master called and asked him to ask the Second Master if he did such a shameless thing!" These words meant to ask Jia Amnesty to punish Jia Zheng.

Mrs. Xing is now afraid that she will have any taint with the second room, besides, this matter is to vent her anger for Jia Mu. It is very inappropriate to ask the elder brother to quarrel with her younger brother for no reason, so she just hesitates.You Xiaoxiao also saw that the big house didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so she hurriedly said: "Old lady, this matter must not be made too big, there is nothing important in my house, but I am afraid that there will be too many people, even if you don't look at the maid in the palace Son, our third girl has just become a princess, and the second master is quite old, so if word spreads, let them behave! According to me, that’s all, don’t disturb the elder master, we will be together with the elder Madam Feng is naturally tight-lipped."

Mrs. Xing and Sister Feng thought exactly the same as You Xiaoxiao. When the news got out, everyone would look bad, but Mother Jia was too angry to persuade her.The mandarin ducks were still kneeling on the ground, and Mother Jia was sitting on the couch in a daze, listening to You Xiaoxiao's words, she knew it was reasonable, but she felt so depressed in her heart that she couldn't help it. Xiaoxiao went over to rub her chest and beat her back. After half a day, Jia Mufang came back, and seeing Yuanyang said, "Get up first." Yuanyang dared not refuse, and stood up wiping her tears.Mrs. Xing then said, "Miss Yuanyang go down to freshen up first, and save yourself some gossip." Yuanyang took a look at Jia's mother and agreed.You Xiaoxiao went out and asked the little girl to bring the ginseng tea quickly. Jia Mu was stunned for a long time before she said: "Tell me, what should we do?" If Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law says it, the matter will just be wiped out. The second master is so excited that he drank too much and lost his mind for a while." Sister Feng echoed her mother-in-law's intentions, but didn't say much.Jia Mu looked at You Xiaoxiao again: "You have a plan, right now..." You Xiaoxiao figured out Jia Mu's intentions, and smiled: "I know the old lady doesn't want to part with mandarin ducks, but we've made this matter so peaceful, I'm afraid that the second master will think of something again. The girl Yuanyang is a person close to the old lady. It is said that there are girls who have been rewarded to her son in the past, but I see that Yuanyang is very ambitious. Even if the old lady rewards the second master, she is not willing in her heart Yes. Since this incident happened, it’s not good to stay with her, and it’s not appropriate to give it to the second master. Anyway, the mandarin duck girl is getting old, so it’s all right to give it to the housekeeper’s wife to match the boy.” After listening to Jia’s mother, she thought about it. It took a long time before she nodded and said: "It's rare to have a sweet girl, but it's a pity that I can't keep it now." You Xiaoxiao persuaded: "The old lady doesn't have to be reluctant, the girl Yuanyang is so promising because of the old lady's jjj. Let the housekeeper carefully select a few little girls to send, and the old lady will put in more thought, and it will not be bad." Mother Jia sighed, "It's not such an easy thing, just let the mandarin ducks come in."

Yuanyang changed into plain clothes, Crow Yau's hair was simply pulled up in a bun, and she knelt obediently at the moment.Jia Mu said: "You are not young. According to the rules of the house, you should have been let out long ago. You can just let this matter rot in your stomach today, and ask your brother and sister-in-law to take you home tomorrow. If you are interested Boy, just tell me, I'll make the decision for you." Yuanyang couldn't help but turn pale when she heard that, she was originally a child of the family, and she was also in the Rongguo Mansion when she talked about marriage, if she met Jia Zheng again, she would be no different than the old lady's girl now, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to escape from his clutches.Seeing that she was speechless, Jia's mother thought that she wanted to follow her wholeheartedly, and she was a little moved, and said, "You are a good boy, but it's not appropriate to stay with me at this time..." Yuanyang listened more and more. Scared, she was about to kneel down and beg, but You Xiaoxiao knew what she was thinking, so she said with a smile: "Speaking of being a matchmaker, I have a marriage, if the old lady looks good, I will take the girl to the house. "Mother Jia heard this, and quickly asked: "Tell me." You Xiaoxiao said: "There is a manager in our Dajian Academy, surnamed Bai, although he is not a child of our family, but because of the trust of the master and the master, he has always valued him. What's more, this year is only in his early twenties, so many things he handles every day, people can't say a word, the uncle said earlier that there is no one suitable for him in the whole house , if the old lady wants to marry a mandarin duck, I will have the cheek to ask for it?"

Jia's mother had her own plan in mind. Yuanyang had always been in charge of her private house. If it really fell into Jia Zheng's hands, she was afraid that her small warehouse would not be safe, so she would never hand over Yuanyang to Jia Zheng as the housekeeper.But if you just insist on staying by your side now, you are afraid of causing trouble in the future, which will be even more ugly.So even though he was reluctant to give up, he planned to hand it over to her elder brother and sister-in-law to lead her out to be a matchmaker.It's just that Yuanyang didn't want to be unwilling. Whether it was greedy for the dignity of being a big girl, or having a relationship with Jia's mother, she was always twisted. Speaking of which, nothing else matters, the steward of the Dajian Academy sounds quite decent, and he can be hung on a chain in the East Mansion, and the outsiders look like they are affectionate.If you really want a mandarin duck to match a boy casually, that would be out of style, it's just right.Mother Jia was satisfied, so she asked Yuanyang, "Would you like to let Grandma Zhen decide?" You Xiaoxiao was afraid that Yuanyang would be too stubborn, so she hurriedly said, "The old lady asked the girl so directly, how can she say yes, but I Talk to the girl in detail." Said Bi took the mandarin ducks and went into the inner room first.Seeing this, Mrs. Xing and Sister Feng said: "Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law has always been appropriate, the old lady can rest assured."

After entering the inner room, Yuanyang couldn't help but burst into tears.You Xiaoxiao sighed: "Do you think in your heart that you don't want to get married? If you say something disrespectful, how many years can the old lady protect you? In the future, when the old lady leaves, who will protect you? When the time comes, the second master Go talk to the old man and ask for you, the old man is a lord, how can he refute his younger brother's words for a girl?" Yuanyang bowed her head and said nothing.You Xiaoxiao said again: "You also know that I am a human being. If this white manager is useless, how would I open my mouth to mention it to you? You have always been a sensible person. Women should live a more affordable life in their lives. It is decent for you to be a big girl. It's just an empty shell." Yuanyang's intention is not that he is afraid of marrying, but he is afraid that Jia Zheng will not be able to get around in the Rong Mansion, and he also knows that You Xiaoxiao has always treated him kindly, so he can handle it on his own On the contrary, it doesn't look like a baby anymore, so she hurriedly said: "I understand Grandma Zhen's kindness, I just let grandma make the decision." You Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "That's it, I know you are a sensible person, wait for me If you have time, I beg the old lady to reward me with your deed of selling your life, and you two will be released together in the future so that you can live a good life." Yuanyang was moved and wanted to kneel down, but You Xiaoxiao hurriedly supported her, and whispered: "What's the matter, it's all a matter of going with the flow. I have always admired you as a person, and know that you are not crazy and cheating."

Waiting to come out, seeing that the mandarin ducks were finally persuaded, Jia's mother also wanted to make a face for the big girl beside her, so she immediately rewarded two sets of red gold face masks, and gave You Xiaoxiao 100 taels of silver to buy a dowry.Afraid of having long nights and dreams, she asked the little girl to help Yuanyang clean up, and immediately followed You Xiaoxiao's carriage to the East Mansion.
