Lin's Aunt in the Red Chamber

"Why do you want to go to someone else's house?" Lin Xiaoshi was also happy when she heard the words. Her daughter is young, but it is not a reason to indulge her.She remembered the kindness of Xiaoliu, the third bedroom of the Li family, and knew that he was a good boy, but she couldn't allow her daughter to be intimate with him.

Lin Lan lowered her head when she heard the words, and said softly: "I have my mother, elder brother and sister-in-law to accompany me every day, and sister Ling to play with, but Brother Six is ​​lonely? His parents leave him alone Putting it here to recuperate, and not coming to see it for so long, how pitiful it is!"

"A boy's house is different from a daughter's house. If it's a girl's house, even if you go to a girl's house every day, your mother won't talk about you, but the other party is a boy, so you can't be so casual. You must know how to guard against men and women."

Lin Xiaoshi did not expect her daughter to become so lively after such an illness. Although she liked it, she was young and had to be instilled in some things slowly.

"What is male and female defense?" Lin Lan raised his head and asked curiously.

Lin Xiao said: "There is a saying in "Mencius" that men and women can't be kissed when they give or receive, that's the etiquette. "Book of Rites" also says that men and women don't sit together, use different shackles, different towels, and don't teach in person... You may not listen to it now. I understand, but there will always be a time when I understand in the future, just remember, you can’t have too much contact with any man, it’s not good for you, and it’s not good for the family.”

"So Lan'er can't be so close to my brother?" Lin Lan's eyes widened, as if the sky was falling.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao held her in his arms, and continued: "In our family, you can naturally get close to your elder brother, but you can't after the age of seven. You should have a proper sense of distance. My daughter lives in the world. It’s not easy, if you want to live a good life, you should bear in mind many taboos.”

"Seven years old?" Lin Lan was on her fingers, counting her age. She was born on October [-]th, so she will be five years old in less than three months. She suddenly panicked: "I have two years left. Less than three months to get along with brother?"

After speaking, he jumped out of Lin Xiaoshi's arms, and ran out: "I'll go find my brother now, and I'll see you once less. I have to take good care of it!"

Lin Lan never had the idea of ​​changing the world and being independent. She only wanted to live a happier life within the rules.

Rushing to my brother's yard in a hurry, I heard my always gentle sister-in-law getting angry with someone.

"Brother, what on earth are you thinking? Why did the prince find you such a vacancy? You can't even go back for your mother's birthday!" Jia Min originally thought that her mother's birthday was approaching, so she packed up the presents for her elder brother to take back, but Zeng Xiang first received a letter from his mother crying.

Only then did I know that Jia Amnesty didn't tell his family, and asked the prince to help find a vacancy for the deputy commander of the army and horses in Gusu. Is it possible that a junior official of the seventh rank is what he wanted?

Jia Min was about to go mad with anger, and yelled at Jia She almost out of reason!

Jia She shrank his neck, glanced at the silent brother-in-law, then pursed his lips, poured a cup of tea for his sister, and said frankly: "Sister Min, calm down. You also know your sister-in-law's body, which is enshrined in the house." What kind of stuff are they? I didn't even notice such a serious illness. I didn't think that An Yuyi was in Gusu. I also had some friendship with the Li family. I wanted to cure your sister-in-law before talking about other things..."

"Why didn't you discuss it with your family?" Jia Min didn't have feelings for Xu, but he was very dissatisfied with his elder brother when he thought of his mother's tearful letter.

When he was young, he was only close to his grandmother, and he was not very respectful to his mother, but now it is for the Xu family, he directly kills him first and then plays, an heir to the Duke's mansion, and I am a seventh-rank official without real power in the small Gusu City. Don't want to think about how worried and uncomfortable the parents at home are?

She believed that as long as her eldest brother talked to her mother well, her mother would no longer make things difficult for her sister-in-law, who was taking care of her body in Beijing Chinese medicine.

Obviously it is easy to discuss, and my mother will understand that there must be a better way, but he cut it first and played it later, let the prince arrest the "Physician Bao" enshrined in the family, and found such a small official for himself, but he did not give the family any explanation. Is this acceptable?

"Who said I didn't say it? But I wrote to my wife in exchange for accusations. The Xu family has become like that, and my wife also accused me of being unfilial and profligate. Let us return to Beijing quickly. What can I do? My wife's Are you ignorant of the rules? Just obey, and then go back and watch Mrs. Xu die? Are all of you satisfied?"

When Jia Min mentioned this, Jia Amnesty was also full of anger. Doctor An's medical skills were even registered with the emperor, otherwise he would not have entrusted the third emperor's grandson to his care. Saying something like hypocritical and foxy, saying that you are unfilial, seductive and stupid, what's so hard to hear?The master's letter is also full of reproaches!

Jia Min paused, thinking of her mother's behavior at home in the past, but...but...how can there be children complaining about their mother, whose daughter-in-law didn't come here like this?I am also respectful in front of my mother-in-law. My sister-in-law is not in good health, which is obviously my elder brother's anger. He carried them into the yard one by one from left to right, and heard from his mother that there is a concubine who is pregnant now...

"There are nine women in my yard, six of them were given by my wife." Jia She said very nakedly, he is indeed lustful, but he doesn't mean that the yard is full of women, the prince has always taken care of him, and he has indeed given him a few stunning looks Yes, but they are enshrined and drugged by others. These women are barren, so naturally they dare not disrespect Mrs. Xu, but can the ones given by the wife be like this?

"Brother!" Jia Min was so angry that her whole body trembled, she felt that Jia She was stubborn, why did she rely on her mother for everything!

Jia Amnesty raised his head, and said righteously: "Fourth sister, do you think everyone is as polite as the Lin family? The eldest sister gave birth to two sons, but the mother-in-law just gave birth to a room full of concubines? The eldest sister But can you refuse? There are a lot of concubines and concubines now. If you don’t feel angry about these, I will tell Aunt Lin Jia in the future, my sister is generous and virtuous, a model in the world, if you give my brother-in-law ten or eight concubines, she will also Not jealous. I will definitely take good care of their offspring!"

Jia Min's eyes darkened, she had no children, and what she was most afraid of was her mother-in-law, but her elder brother beat her with this, and she burst into tears!

Seeing this, Lin Hai hurriedly got up and hugged Jia Min, and comforted him softly, "Mother won't!"

"It's easy to put it! If the fourth sister is still infertile, look at how big the aunt is, and maybe three or five good concubines will bring you three or five concubines." Jia She only felt that his fourth sister was too naive. Do you think the Lin family will tolerate her being childless?When the pregnancy was not stable, I listened to my wife and went back to celebrate Jia Zhu's birthday, but the child was gone?Just listen to my wife about everything.

Jia Min was a little out of breath when she heard the words, her eyes seemed to be poisoned when she looked at Jia She, childlessness was her constant pain, she wanted to give her husband a healthy child in her dreams, and she wanted him not to suffer because of this. It's a dirty word, but anyone can say it, can my brother say it?

After Jia Amnesty finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, then looked at Jia Min's expression and shrank his neck, and sat there without saying a word.

"You are my brother, my own brother! Why do you have to stab me in the heart?" Jia Min looked at Jia Amnesty, eyes red, and complained.

Jia She Nuonuo said: "Didn't you say that about me first?"

"That's all! Since my elder brother has no friendship with me, why should I persuade you earnestly! Mother is right, elder brother doesn't have us in his eyes." Jia Min leaned on Lin Hai, only feeling cold all over, mother certainly had Wrong, but the one who is more wrong is not the elder brother?

Just now Jia Sheng felt a little guilty for saying the wrong thing. Hearing Jia Min say this, he stood up and looked at her, and said coldly, "It's interesting to say that I don't have you in my heart, Fourth Sister? Without you, I can grow old." Yuan brought his family to support you, because he was afraid that it would be difficult for you to do things in the Lin family because of the slavery? Without a wife, why did she listen to her every time she made things difficult for Xu, even when she almost died when she gave birth to Lianer? I didn't go into it, but just dealt with a few stable women?"

"Since I was a child, my wife has always looked down on me and thought that I am not inferior to the second child. I know you are the same. But I am the eldest brother. It is meaningless to care about my sister. You think I don't know that I have tried my best to give you The copybooks you were looking for were all given to the second child directly by you, and the gifts I gave you are all in the box without seeing the light of day?"

"I treat you as my younger sister, and Mrs. Xu loves you as much as her younger sister, but in the end, she is about to die. You...Jia Min, Jia Min, tell me, who has no heart?"

After talking about Jia She, he walked away in a huff. No matter how unbearable he was, Jia She had never done anything wrong to her, Jia Min. Why should he say that about himself?Xu treats her so well, so it doesn't matter if she is not the one who is despised by his wife?

"Brother, please stop!" Seeing this, Lin Hai hurriedly stopped Jia Amnesty, and said, "Brother knows that Min'er doesn't mean that, how can you say such sad words?"

"Is Min'er's concern for sister-in-law fake? It's just that my brother-in-law happened suddenly. My father-in-law and mother-in-law both misunderstood. She has never been rich, and Min'er has suffered a lot of grievances in the past few years since she married me. We are all a family, and we have each other in our hearts, why do we always say these hurtful words?"

Hearing this, Lin Lan somewhat understood what happened. She took a deep breath, ran into the house crying, hugged Lin Hai and started crying.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Seeing his sister crying so sadly, Lin Hai didn't care about Jia Min and Jia Amnesty, so he squatted down and picked her up, and asked with concern.

Lin Lan hugged Lin Hai's neck, tears fell drop by drop on his neck, crying and said: "I will not be able to get close to my brother in the future, never again..."

"What are you talking about? Why can't you get close?" Lin Hai coaxed her while wiping her tears with distress.

Lin Lan choked with sobs and said, "Mother said that men and women are very defensive, and that they can't be kissed. Anyway, after I was seven years old, I couldn't get close to my brother."

"When Lan'er is seven years old, she will be a big girl. How can she hold her brother and shed tears like now? At that time, you probably don't want to get close to your brother." Lin Hai felt a little funny when he heard this, but still coaxed gently.

Lin Lan shook his head and said, "Brother, in two years and three months, you won't be able to hold Lan'er anymore. Last time you said that you would wait for Lan'er to go to the lantern festival in the future and win Lan'er the lantern of the big rabbit." , no more, no more!"

"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry, brother promises to take you to see the lantern festival in the future, and win you a big rabbit lantern, okay? It won't look good to cry anymore, our Lan'er is the most beautiful little girl Girl, you can't keep crying, you know?" Lin Hai promised again and again after hearing this.

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Min from the side, then looked at Lin Hai and Lin Lan, thinking that he really shouldn't quarrel with Jia Min, so he gritted his teeth and said to Jia Min: "Fourth sister, I was wrong, I can't speak out of my head , I'm sorry!"
