New Dream of Red Mansions

Daiyu was tired from walking, and it happened that Baochai felt a little hot, so she suggested: "We might as well go to the old lady and have a rest."

Xiyan nodded, "I heard that the fast food at Huguo Temple is delicious, let's go back after lunch this time."

Mother Jia happened to meet an acquaintance in the front, and a group of people were reminiscing about the old days in the rented yard. Seeing Daiyu and others coming, she beckoned: "Come in quickly, greet the old lady of Zhen Guogong, and meet the few people in Zhen Guogong's mansion." girl."

When Xiyan and Daiyu saw He Shuyuan sitting next to Mrs. Zhen Guogong's wife, there was a flash of surprise in their eyes, but they quickly covered it up.

When Jia Mu saw that there were only Baochai, Daiyu, Xiyan and Tanchun, she hurriedly asked, "Where are the others?"

Xiyan smiled and said, "Second sister and fourth sister are resting at the back. Sister Yun met an acquaintance and went over to say hello. Sister Lin and I were a little tired. Sister Bao was also about to come back, so we came back together."

Jia Mu said angrily: "I'm still a child, what's so tired? I must be hiding."

Xiyan and Daiyu both smiled and said nothing.

Mother Jia said to Mrs. Zhen Guogong and Mrs. Zhen Guogong, "My granddaughter and grandniece just can't be too far away. Not to mention that they are thinking about this place in their hearts, I am also worried."

The old lady of Zhen Guogong knew that these two girls might be Jiamu's favorite juniors, so she hurriedly pulled them over to have a look, then took off two bracelets from her hands and gave them to Tanchun and Baochai. Mrs. Zhen Guogong also praised a piece of jade pendant and gave them a meeting gift.

Sister Feng hurriedly stepped forward to introduce them and the girls from Zhen Guogong's mansion. Only then did Xiyan know that except for the third girl, He Shuyuan, the others were concubines.

Xiyan and Daiyu didn't have a good impression of He Shuyuan because of the previous incident. After they greeted her, they didn't talk to her very much. A few words, mostly talking to other girls in the He family.

Nanny Wu tried every means to talk to the servants of Jia's mansion, observed Yingchun's demeanor all the way, and came back to find Mrs. Wu after she knew what she was doing.

Mrs. Wu nodded lightly and said, "Let's go back first."

The two of them led the girl all the way out of the release pond at the back, and then they walked to the yard they had built in front, when they heard their son reprimanding the girl, "...we have a candied fruit shop at home, and you have too much money to burn it, so you have to come out Buying outside? If you have too much money and have nowhere to spend it, you should spend it in your own shop, and you guys prefer to buy things at those small stalls."

Mrs. Wu staggered on her feet, and walked in quickly while supporting Nanny Wu's hand.Wu Weiyong was talking vigorously, when he saw his mother coming in, he stepped forward to salute.

Mrs. Wu glared at him, waved the girls to go down, and when only the mother and son were left in the yard, Mrs. Wu kicked him angrily, "You should have a limit even if you are stingy, what do the girls want to do?" You can use your own money however you want, you are too lenient as a master, right?"

Wu Weiyong rolled his eyes and said disapprovingly: "Mother, how can you say that? Our candied fruit is much better than the ones outside, and the price is not more expensive than those outside..."

"Okay, okay," Mrs. Wu waved her hand with a headache, "I don't care about you anymore."

Mrs. Wu comforted herself in her heart, a son like this is better than someone else's son stealing chickens and dogs, gambling money and whoring, right?It's just that she needs to have a grandson as soon as possible. If the son can't be taught well, she must teach her grandson to be graceful, personable, and knowledgeable.

Because of the stimulation, Mrs. Wu didn't want to wait any longer, so she called Mama Wu over when she returned to Wu's house, "Have you found out all about it? But she looks the same? Don't marry and find out that something is wrong after entering the house. We can't take it anymore."

Nanny Wu repeatedly assured her: "I asked several servants of Jia's mansion carefully, and they all said that the second girl is a wooden person, and the servants in the mansion secretly called her 'Er Wood', so it must be true. Mrs. If you’re worried, I’ll go and ask again.”

Mrs. Wu nodded, "Then go and inquire again, and we'll talk about it when we're sure."

Mother Wu repeatedly said yes.

Yuanyang brought a few taels of bird's nests to Daiyu. When she entered the room and saw everyone there, she smiled and said, "The girls are all there. Let's go to the old lady's for dinner tonight." Seeing that Yingchun was there, she smiled and said : "Second Miss is just right here, and I went to find you if there is too little. The old lady praised you for wiping the old lady's forehead last time. It's just that I don't know how to do a few stitches. Why don't Second Miss come to my place Go teach me."

Not to mention that Yingchun was surprised, even if everyone heard it, they didn't understand.

Seeing them leaving, Xiangyun asked curiously: "It's strange, sister Yuanyang still wants to ask the second sister for advice on acupuncture?"

After Baochai thought about it carefully, she suddenly understood, and said in a complicated way: "I'm afraid that something good is coming for the second sister."

Both Daiyu and Xiangyun didn't understand, let alone Xichun, who was still young, Tanchun thought for a while, and then she understood, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid the second sister is going to talk about her husband's family."

Daiyu said sadly, "I just don't know who got the second sister to go."

As soon as these words came out, except for Xiyan who was fearless and Xichun who was ignorant, the others were all thinking about themselves, and their interest suddenly faded.

Xiyan and Daiyu sent them away.

Yingchun was the first one among the few to talk about their marriage. She was still kept in the dark, but the others had already started talking.

Tanchun left in the morning, and came to see Xiyan and Daiyu in the afternoon, "I've inquired, and it's Aunt Xue who is the kisser."

Daiyu was surprised, "I didn't hear about it from Auntie and Sister Bao either."

"I heard that someone came to ask for help early in the morning. I just asked Aunt Xue to talk about it. Whether it will be successful or not is another matter. Who knows that the old lady likes it very much. She will see Mrs. Wu right away. She also wants to see that woman in person. What about Mr. Wu." Tanchun glanced at Xiyan when he said this, "It's also my selfishness, the second sister was the first one of us to marry, we are one, and I will definitely follow her in the future, it's just an outsider What it looks like, I'm afraid you may not be able to see what it looks like at a glance. Even though the old lady has a sharp eye, if people in this world pretend to be fake, I'm afraid that people like this outside may not be able to see clearly even if they have been around for ten or eight years. I I know that Sister Yan has some people outside, I just hope you can help me find out what is going on with the Wu family, and what about Mrs. Wu and Mr. Wu."

Even if Tanchun didn't say anything, Xiyan was still going to inquire. Hearing this, she nodded immediately and said, "Don't worry, I'll ask someone to inquire later. It's just who is this Wu family? Why did you invite Aunt Xue to be a matchmaker?"

"It's a coincidence that the Wu family, like the Xue family, are imperial merchants. It's just that the Xue family is in the palace of silk and satin flowers, but their family has packaged the ingredients for the palace. It's nothing else. I heard that they The family’s candied fruit and other things are unique, and the palace has been using their secrets for decades, so they have some contacts with the Xue family. This time, I went directly to Aunt Xue.”

Xiyan knew the situation of their family, so it was much easier to find them.

It is not difficult to inquire about the Wu family of the imperial merchant. A major event happened to their family two years ago.When Xiyan heard it, she was in a bad mood.

Manager Zhuang also knew why Xiyan wanted to inquire about this, and said with embarrassment, "Girl, why don't you remind the old lady that this Wu family is not a good match."

Xiyan shook her head, and said with a strange expression on her face: "It's not necessarily true. One is arsenic, and the other is honey. Let's inquire again and see the sincerity of the Wu family. Maybe this Wu family is a good match for the second sister." indefinite."

Manager Zhuang couldn't understand, would a woman think such a man was a good match?The girl from the Zhang family left without even entering the bridal chamber.After hearing this, the people who said it all fell through.The girl thinks that such a person is a good match?

Tanchun jumped up, "What did you say? Then Wu Weiyong was married?"

Xiyan said with a strange expression: "The bride didn't return home for three dynasties, and she didn't worship the ancestors, so it can't be considered a marriage?" Although in modern times, the two parties have already had a marriage certificate and a wedding ceremony, but in ancient times, You have to worship your ancestors and live together for another month before you can be considered a husband and wife, right?

Xi Yan said: "I heard that they did not enter the bridal chamber."

"Then you can't marry." Tanchun said: "I didn't even enter the bridal chamber, which shows that person's temper. The second sister is soft-tempered, so she can't be bullied." The girl is a little embarrassed to talk about this topic.But what she said was not wrong.

Both she and Yingchun are concubine daughters, although Concubine Jia is her sister of the same father, she is a concubine after all, in terms of status, Yingchun is a level above her, let alone her if she doesn't marry well.

Tanchun's good marriage does not only refer to the other party's family background and the like. Compared with these, she hopes that the family can consider their actual situation more. Even if they marry poor and white people, they are not afraid. The nature is not bad either.Otherwise, even if he is a relative of the emperor, what's the point of marrying and only suffering?

Xiyan said with a strange expression: "Actually, we may not be able to bear that person's temper, but Second Sister may not be able to bear it. Besides, who can bear Second Sister's temper?"

Tanchun asked strangely, "Second sister still has a temper?"

Daiyu clapped her hands and laughed, "Isn't it because of your lack of temper?"

Tanchun couldn't turn his head around for a while.

Xiyan sighed: "Every time I meet my second sister, I always want to beat her up. I think even if you are a clay figurine, you should have a three-point clay nature. However, the second sister cultivates even the third sister. The sliminess is gone.”

Tanchun fell silent for a moment.I don't understand where in my heart.

She thought to herself, if the second elder sister became the mistress, the family might not be in general chaos, and even her own wet nurse could not control her, no matter what, who would listen to her among the slaves in the house?If she is wronged by herself, she can just bear it, she is afraid that others will be wronged because of her.

Tanchun shuddered at the thought.But remembering that Xiyan didn't seem to dislike this marriage very much, she asked curiously: "Then what kind of person is this Mr. Wu?"

Daiyu was also curious.
