You're Crossing the Red Mansions

At the end of November, Sister Feng gave birth to a son, and the Rongguo Mansion had Chengmai's eldest grandson. Jia She was very happy and immediately named the grandson Gui.Because Jia Mu has always liked Sister Feng, she was very happy to see that there was a great-grandson in the big house at this moment. Regardless of the wind and cold, she came to see it several times in person, rewarded many things, and told Sister Feng to take good care of her. Jia Lian must not disturb her.You Xiaoxiao heard that her wish was fulfilled, so she packed the clothes worn by brother Xing when she was a child and sent them here in a big package, and made a thick pheasant soup to bring her to see her.When Sister Feng saw her coming alone, she complained why she didn't see Brother Xun. The eldest sister smiled and said, "Mother always said that Brother Xun was blessed, and that Brother Gui is better than me when I was young." Xiaoxiao said to the elder sister: "Your mother despises you, come to live with the elder sister! Your mother is in the blessing and does not know the blessing!" The elder sister laughed when she heard this.You Xiaoxiao said to Sister Feng again: "Brother Yun is just being naughty, and you have to take good care of it, and if you don't come here to annoy others." Then she said: "This is the new pheasant cub from Zhuangzi, which is just right for you. If you taste the food at this time, if you like it, I will send someone to bring it back." After saying that, he took Brother Gui and took a closer look, and saw that the child's eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Sister Feng's. Mr. Pianpian praised: "The nobleness given by the name of the elder is just in line with my brother's temperament." After that, because he didn't see Mrs. Xing, he asked: "A few days ago, I saw that your mother-in-law is always there. I'm guarding here, why don't you see me today?" Mrs. Xing felt very fond of her brothers and sisters because she had no heirs.When Sister Feng heard her asking, she beckoned over, and You Xiaoxiao hurriedly moved over. The eldest sister knew it, and said with a smile: "I went outside and called the nanny over, my brother should be breastfeeding too."

You Xiaoxiao saw that the eldest sister behaved dignifiedly and became more like a big girl, and she was sensible and smart, so she could only sigh that Sister Feng was blessed. Sister Feng watched her daughter go out, and then said softly: "My wife has it!" You Xiaoxiao was startled, Then she couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing for a long time, Sister Feng also smiled and said: "Don't invite me, my back hurts from laughing at this time." You Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "How do you say this? Everyone knows Sister Feng laughed and said, "What's more, no one knows, or the wife hugged Brother Gui that day, and suddenly her face turned pale. I was afraid that something went wrong, and I was so worried. After a while, seeing that I was also scared, I secretly told me. He also said that he called the doctor to see, and he was indeed pregnant, because he wanted to hide it in less than three months, and I was embarrassed to see my wife. Well, I advised her to tell the grandfather of the grandson's cradle on crutches that such happy events should be told to the master first, no matter if it is brother or sister, the master is sure to be happy." You Xiaoxiao nodded and said: "That's exactly what I said." Mrs. Xing It's the stepwife, even if the first son is born, he will be the youngest son, younger than Brother Gui, Jia Lian is a certainty, so it's no wonder Sister Feng is so calm.

Another month and a half passed, and it was approaching the end of the new year. Sure enough, the Rong Mansion sent someone to announce the good news, saying that Mrs. Xing was pregnant. You Xiaoxiao just passed by to congratulate her. , Then he smiled and said: "Let's enjoy my wife's joy, congratulations, Mrs., congratulations, Mrs. Xing!" Mrs. Xing has only been lying on the couch these days to protect her pregnancy. When she saw her coming, she hurriedly said: "Just come, you How many clothes do you have for Brother Jiayong? Pack two for Yinger." Yingchun blushed when she heard this.You Xiaoxiao saw that her belly was slightly protruding, and hurriedly said: "When did it happen? This is a double happiness, how come you two are so lucky!" Yingchun smiled and said: "The end of the year is the time when you are in a hurry, and you want to wait for the New Year's Eve Then talk to my sister-in-law." Second Master Wang is a concubine, and the two of them have always kept a low profile. Because Uncle Wang has no heirs in his house, Yingchun is pregnant and does not make it public. Mrs. Wang felt pity for them both when she found out. Be careful, so you don't have to make daily savings, and you can be more lenient.You Xiaoxiao knew that there must be some gullies here. Seeing Yingchun looking good, she knew that she could bear things, so she said, "I'll clean up the clothes when I get back. I just said to bring some snacks to my sister, and asked Hongzhi to pass it to you." That's all for playing chess." Yingchun smiled and nodded.Mrs. Xing saw that it was getting late and that Yingchun came for another day, so she hurriedly urged Yingchun to go back to the mansion first, and You Xiaoxiao was left for dinner.

Mrs. Xing said: "I have one more thing I want to discuss with you." You Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "Madam, just say it." Mrs. Xing sighed and said: "It's a bit ashamed to say it." You Xiaoxiao saw her In this way, he hurriedly said: "My wife knows me, so there is nothing to worry about." Mrs. Xing nodded and said: "Exactly, you are a safe person in this family. Ordinarily, I shouldn't bother you, but Feng girl just left Confinement, took over the house again, although there is a big sister to help her, but there are many things to do with the New Year's ceremony, plus your Brother Cong is engaged with the girl of the Li family, and you have to go to the house, I really don't like it So I can talk to Feng girl more. Now that I am physically weak, I really can't tell the energy... It's about Baoyu and Xiuyan. Alas, they were going to get married, but I didn't expect a Miaoyu to come out. You Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked: "This is it? I saw that the second wife's posts had been sent out, and it was said that they got married on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month..."

Mrs. Xing's face was ashamed: "This is also my brother's confusion. Ever since Xiuyan and Baoyu got engaged, he thought that they would be a couple in the future, and... a little bit of flattery... Baoyu's child is another I don't care about trivial details, but I often go to Xiaozhuan'er Hutong. The second master is only with Aunt Lin now and doesn't care about family affairs. The second wife is not willing to restrain him. My brother and sister-in-law only know that this is a prospective son-in-law, welcome and send him back. They are very affectionate, so they run more and more frequently. Xiuyan is fine, and knows to stay in the house. Who knows that Miaoyu in our garden used to live in Changcui nunnery, but was sent away because the academy moved over. When I went out, who knew that she had some friendship with Xiuyan before, so she lived with my brother temporarily, and I don't know when Baoyu hooked up with her, but she was caught by Xiuyan all the time, and there was a big quarrel I was so angry when I heard it, I told my brother and sister-in-law to withdraw the marriage, and we could justify it when we got to the old lady's place, but my stupid brother only said that Baoyu's family ran into the alley every day, and there were several streets. We all know that the two families have already engaged in a marriage, and now they have turned their faces again. How can Xiuyan stand in the future? The second wife found out that I, Xiuyan, did not obey the rules of women, and said that Miaoyu should return to vulgarity. Why can't Baoyu be a housekeeper?" You Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, and quickly asked: "What does the eldest lady mean?" Mrs. Xing said: "Oh, I was edgy at the time, and I agreed to the old lady. I felt very sorry for Xiuyan in my heart, so I asked Xiuyan secretly, if she doesn't want to marry Baoyu, I will call the decision to withdraw the marriage for her, and then move to another country and find a better family." You Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "It's a good way to deal with it..." Mrs. Xing shook her head and said: "It's late, that Baoyu is used to doing small things to please, and Xiuyan didn't know how he was fooled by him, so he just said Marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, life and death do not agree to resign... But I can't swallow this breath in my heart, saying that Miaoyu has always been a monk who is not a monk or a vulgar person, and she didn't follow the good intentions when she came here, begging me to be an aunt There is a way to get her away." You Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "Madam, I'm afraid this is not the right thing." Madam Xing was stunned for a moment before she said, "I mean just marry Miaoyu to someone who is similar, but Now I don't have any suitable people here..." You Xiaoxiao said: "My wife is also confused, Miaoyu is not from our house, how can we do this? What if we are charged with kidnapping people? " Mrs. Xing listened, and said after a long time: "What you said is that she is not our girl, and we don't have a contract of prostitution in our hands, so I am really confused." You Xiaoxiao sneered: "I am now I have an idea, if the wife thinks it's okay, just teach the girl. Since Miaoyu wants to enter Jia's house, won't the second wife let her in? Then let her come in, no matter if she is a girl or a concubine, as long as our girl is the main wife It's not a matter of one word to deal with her, the wife just persuades the girl to be patient for a while, and when she becomes the second grandmother of Bao, if there are disobedient ones, just sell her feet." Mrs. Xing sighed Said: "Look at it, that's the only way to go." You Xiaoxiao persuaded her a few more words, saying that there is no need to worry about these children's affairs, and it is important to take good care of her health, and she will go back to the house after eating with her.

On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, Baoyu got married.Jia Jing went impatiently, Jia Zhen and You Xiaoxiao didn't want to refute Jia Amnesty, so they just went to the banquet for a day.Seeing Li Wan leisurely, You Xiaoxiao smiled with her and said, "Someone will come to share our worries in the future." Li Wan sneered and said, "I've talked to me a long time ago, and when Second Grandma comes in, I'll follow me and learn how to manage the house." At that time, I thought I had to take care of Lan Ge'er's studies, and leave everything to the second grandma in the future, and the wife was happy when she heard it." You Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, and whispered: "The second wife likes the second grandma?" Li Wanyao She shook her head and said: "If you like, can you take that Miaoyu over? Naturally, you can't hide this matter from you. I will take her into the mansion tomorrow. In the future, it will be the same as Musk Moon. I heard that the name will be changed to Keren." , her maiden name is Bao, and she will be called Aunt Bao from now on." You Xiaoxiao sighed and said, "Second wife is so confused." Li Wan sneered and said, "There is one more thing you don't know, the master borrowed the money from my uncle for Aunt Lin's sake." Tens of thousands of taels of silver, and now there are still some debts outside, and even the old mansion is mortgaged, I want to see where this family will go in the future?" You Xiaoxiao knew that Li Wan hated Mrs. Wang and others, so at this time I just waited to see a joke, so I stopped talking.

After the new year, another good news came from Feng's residence. Grandma Baochai gave birth to twins. Master Feng and Mrs. Feng were overjoyed. She hugged her grandson and granddaughter and couldn't put it down. She posted posts everywhere and held three banquets. You Xiaoxiao naturally went to drink with her do not mention.Sitting with Second Sister You during the banquet, they were all beaming when they knew that Baochai had gained a firm foothold in Feng's residence.Now the second sister is the grandma in charge of the Xue family, and she doesn't have any free time, so she finally met the eldest sister and told the story of the third sister in a leisurely manner.It turned out that Xue Biao was suspicious after hearing Xue Pan's words, and he really asked the valet to go out to inquire, and learned that the marriage between the third sister and Liu Xianglian was just a step away from the door, because there were some embarrassing rumors outside, So Liu Xianglian refused the marriage.Xue Biao has traveled with his father since he was a child, and has seen the world. He knows that marriage must be cautious, but he is too soft to listen to the streets and corners of the neighbors, so he secretly went to the embroidery workshop to see the third sister. , Ask innocently.Seeing that he came to talk to her, the third sister acted frankly, so she told him everything she had done before. As for the present, everyone with eyes can see it, so there will be no more She said, "Eldest sister said that the world has always been so customary, and now you want to regret the marriage, I don't have a single word..." Xue Biao stopped for a long while at that time, did not speak, only bowed and left.Seeing him leave without saying a word, the third sister just thought that this matter would be disharmonious again, because she didn't take it to heart once it happened last time, who would have expected that Xue Biao would come again the next day, and this time it would be incongruous. She didn't ask to see her recklessly, she just asked the girl to hand in a pair of jade bracelets from her family, and the third sister naturally accepted them.You Xiaoxiao listened and nodded, and Second Sister You said again: "Liu Xianglian went to the south before Chinese New Year, see what he means, and he won't come back in the future." Then she said in a low voice: "I see it is It’s like deliberately avoiding the third sister’s marriage with the second master.” You Xiaoxiao heard this, and said: “It’s a blessing in disguise, but if I followed the third sister’s temperament and went to find Liu Xianglian blindly, I don’t know how the world will be turned upside down now. Yes." Second Sister You nodded, and was about to say something, but saw the girl hurriedly looking for her outside, whispered a few words in her ear, and Second Sister's complexion changed immediately.Seeing this, You Xiaoxiao asked worriedly: "What happened?" The second sister turned pale and said in a low voice, "Second uncle passed away while in office." After hearing this, You Xiaoxiao knew that it was Wang Ziteng who was talking about, and the second sister He stood up and hurriedly said: "The uncle is waiting for me outside, we haven't told our wife about this yet, we have to go to the palace to have a look first."
