There is no phoenix

At dusk, Zhou Rui's family led Lin Zhixiao's family in and told Mrs. Wang that the attacker had been crying all day and didn't think about eating or drinking.Mrs. Wang sighed: "This is also her fate. It can be seen that she is still not suitable for Baoyu. Seeing that she has served Baoyu faithfully for several years, I will reward her with 100 taels of silver. Let her go back to her home after confinement." Go on. Please try to persuade her. This is the old lady's idea, not mine. You tell her that she belongs to the old lady, and I can't say anything if the old lady wants to do this. With this 100 taels of silver, if you marry a decent man, you will have a good life. Tell her, if she has anything left to take out, you can take it out for her. Baoyu is now the younger brother of the imperial concubine, and Nanning Elder brother of the princess, the master is urging him to study hard."

Zhou Rui's family and Lin Zhixiao's family listened and nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Wang asked Yu Chuan'er to take out a bag of silver and handed it to Lin Zhixiao's family, and said: "Tell Xiren again that she went out from Yihong Courtyard. To preserve Baoyu's reputation is to preserve her own reputation. Let her live her life with peace of mind in the future."

But Xiren said that after giving birth to the child, although he was secretly happy, many uneasiness came one after another.

It turned out that since he left Jia's mansion at the end of July last year and began to live in a village in the suburbs, Xiren naturally knew what Mrs. Wang was up to.But things have come to this, she is just a girl, and Baoyu is not married yet, so naturally it is impossible to justify her as an aunt. Mrs. Wang's treatment of herself like this is already a precedent, so Xiren had no choice but to live in peace.

In the first two months, Lin Zhixiao's family came to visit often and brought some clothes.But the weather is getting colder, and the only one serving me is a widow who doesn't speak much.Thinking of the four-month-old child in her womb, Xiren had countless longings.

At the beginning, my family was poor, so I was sold to Jia's mansion to be a girl.In Jia's mansion, I realized that there is no other world in the world.Even though she was a girl, she didn't suffer any grievances when she followed the old lady. Usually, there were so many girls like him as companions.Later, he was sent to serve Baoyu, who was also a good-natured young master.Relying on her intelligence, meekness and ability, she finally took the position of the big girl, gradually gained the trust and love of Baoyu, and finally won the appreciation of Mrs. Wang, the mistress of Jia's mansion.

However, the incident of Qianxue Jinchuan playing chess Qingwen gradually awakened himself. Before he was formally named a concubine, he would always be a girl, and a concubine without children might not be as good as a girl.Mrs. Wang now values ​​herself, and the first wife has a child, and it seems that the dawn is just ahead if she can arrange her own childcare in this way.Regardless of whether the child is a boy or a girl, he is the master of the Jia family.Based on Baoyu's status in Jia's mansion, coupled with her own ability and intelligence, if she gave birth to a daughter, she might not be worse than Tanchun in the future; if she gave birth to a boy, she would be Baoyu's eldest son, and her future would be even brighter.

However, in this remote Zhuangzi, Xiren felt like someone from another world.Nothing in the city can be seen, let alone heard.Those who asked Lin Zhixiao's family were also vague.After weighing again and again, the attacker proposed to live in the city.After the wish came true, Xiren also secretly turned out of the alley, trying to find out some news, but in the end he didn't find out.It was not until seven or eight days after the New Year that Lin Zhixiao's family informed that Baoyu was going to marry Baochai soon.

Knowing that Baoyu married Baochai, Xiren felt quite relieved.Because Baochai is the daughter of Baoyu's aunt, Xiren has always respected her very much, and feels that if Baochai marries Baochai, it will definitely benefit him a lot, because Baochai is a very dignified and docile person.And Daiyu, not only has a sharp mouth, but also has a strong heart, and even Baoyu, who is humble to her, can't control her, let alone herself.

The baby was born, although it wasn't the boy he longed for the most, but he was also Jia's great-granddaughter and Baoyu's first child. This was the first ecstatic day Xiren had in many years.For two consecutive nights, Xiren didn't sleep well, because he was so excited.

However, extreme joy begets sorrow, this child who pinned all his longings and hopes died within three days, throwing himself from the sky to the ground at once.Is this fate?The joy had just begun, and the sadness had already come suddenly, Xiren cried so much that he almost fainted.

Tears are like spring water, and heart is like a knife.Xiren didn't know how he stayed up from day to night.When I woke up, it was pitch black all around, and it was already the dead of night.Opening his eyes and looking at the eerily quiet room, he touched his side with his hands, only to realize that the child had gone, and now he must have been buried in some unknown hill and earth slope.

The child is gone, taking away all my hope.I have thought about how to give birth to a child, I have thought about everything I might face after giving birth to a daughter and a boy, and I have thought about all the things that will happen when I bring the child back to Jia's mansion, but I have never thought about what will happen to me when the child dies. .Tears blurred everything in front of me, and my heart hurt like a needle.

When the morning light rose, the girl brought hot water to help Xiren wash up.Then breakfast was brought, with a large bowl of broth.Xiren resisted the physical and mental exhaustion and pain, only drank a little soup, and then let the girl help him out to sit in the small living room.

Although it was still the end of the first lunar month, Xiren felt as cold as severe winter.After sitting for a while, he continued to lie on the bed.

Around noon, Lin Zhixiao's family came and handed over the 100 taels of silver given by Mrs. Wang to Xi Ren, and comforted Xi Ren.Xiren couldn't believe his ears when he heard it, and hurriedly asked: "Ms. Lin, madam wants me to go back to my home?"

Seeing that the attacker didn't believe it, Lin Zhixiao's family handed over the attacker's prostitution contract to the attacker, and said, "Miss Hua, this is a great thing. You have been in the mansion for so many years, do you really want to be there for the rest of your life?" A girl as an aunt? What do you think of Pinger? How about Aunt Zhou? They both have no children, so what if Aunt Zhao has a son and a daughter?"

Xiren looked at Lin Zhixiao's family, and couldn't believe that this nearly 40-year-old woman, who was considered deaf and dumb by ordinary people, would say such words.

Seeing the attacker, Lin Zhixiao's family didn't speak, and said: "Miss Hua, go back and find a loyal man to marry. With this 100 taels of silver, you will not be wronged. I paid 20 taels of silver to redeem my Xiaohong." .”

Xiren hurriedly asked: "Ms. Lin, has Xiaohong left Jia's residence too? Then why are you still in Jia's residence? Why don't your family go out together?"

Lin Zhixiao's family said: "I am only Xiaohong's daughter, and I have been a servant all my life. It doesn't matter what I do, but the Jia family is laying off people now, and my family's Xiaohong is growing up. I don't want her to be with her family. The child has always been a servant, even if she marries a poor man, it is better than being a servant to others. Hua girl is a smart person, she would rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine. To tell the truth, my Xiaohong has already married You know the person you married, that is Jia Erye Jia Yun on the back porch. Now the couple have opened a small shop on South Street, and the days are tight, but I finally feel at ease."

After hearing this, Xiren felt sad, but he had no choice but to sigh: "Thank you, Aunt Lin, tell your wife, thank you for her kindness, and I will go back when I feel better."

Lin Zhixiao's family saw that the attacker had already listened in, and asked again: "My wife said, if Miss Hua has anything else in it, we can bring it out for you."

Xiren shook his head and said: "I'm just a girl, what can I have. Don't worry, Mrs. Lin, I have elder brothers and sisters-in-law at home, and they treat me very well. I really should go back to my own home."

In the next few days, Xiren's mood seemed to improve a lot, and his body gradually recovered.Half a month later, Xiren packed up his things and returned to his home.

Xiren's brother Hua Zifang was surprised to see his sister come back suddenly.Xiren had no choice but to say that now that Baoyu is married, he doesn't need so many maids, and now that his wife is gracious, he doesn't need to redeem himself to let him come back.

Hua Zifang was naturally happy when she heard this, and said with a quick smile, "It's good for my sister to come back. I discussed with your sister-in-law and said that I would redeem you, but I was afraid that you would not want to. Now that you have come back by yourself, we are more at ease. Don't worry, sister, rest at home for a while, and when brother is free, I will find you a good marriage."

The attacker hurriedly said, "Then thank you brother and sister-in-law."

Since then, Xiren settled down in Hua's house.

But Mrs. Wang heard the report from Lin Zhixiao's family, saying that Xiren had settled down to take care of her body, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.Everything went smoothly, and all possible troubles were gone.Xiren was like those Jin Chuanshiqi Qingwen who had lost their lives, no one mentioned it anymore.
