[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

Xing Xiuyan doesn't care about the idea of ​​self-destruction in her heart, those identities are fake no matter how noble they are, aren't they concubines?It turns out that there is no princess or empress, only an orphan girl who can't protect herself.

Daiyu is going to be kept in Jiamu's courtyard. Although there is Baoyu, Daiyu is not afraid of bringing her mother.He only planned that he would not be able to see him at night, and that he would go to school during the day, and she would accompany Jiamu or go to Xing Xiuyan.

After the meal, we sat down and talked together, and talked about the draft, but this made Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue unhappy.One is that Jia Yuanchun went to be a female official in Xiaoxuan back then, while Xue Baochai was a merchant, so it was not possible to be a companion in Xiaoxuan back then, but now all the other sisters who are not as good as her are going to participate in the general election.This general election is different from the minor elections. Once elected, she is a woman who is a saint, and has more or less an official status.

Asking about Daiyu all at once, Daiyu was able to say that she was exempted from the election. Jia's mother was very happy to hear that, but Xue Baochai had mixed feelings.Originally, she had always wanted to be Bao's second grandmother all these years, but now she saw that everyone was going to gain that future, so she felt that Bao's second grandmother's identity was worthless.

Wang Xifeng was curious, but asked again: "Cousin Xing and Cousin Shi are going to run?"

Xing Xiuyan really didn't expect that what she encountered in Jia's mansion was not the plot of the original novel, but the topic of the talent show that she was avoiding.Xing Xiuyan was speechless for a while, her heart was in a mess.

It was still Daiyu's Nanny Xu who replied: "Ms. Shi's family also got the grace to be exempted. There are quite a lot of exempted families in Beijing, but Miss Xing still wants to run."

Xing Xiuyan clenched her fists tightly, and Xue Baochai felt even more uncomfortable. Even the daughter of the Xing family could go, but she couldn't, obviously she was no worse than others in terms of talent and appearance.

After talking for a while, I heard that Baoyu came back from going out, so I came to pay my respects.Sure enough, Baoyu dressed in the shape of a red envelope came in to greet her. At this time, Baoyu was also 15 years old, so she was much more stretched than when Xiren first saw her.

I didn't like him before, but Baoyu has the advantage of not holding grudges against beautiful women. Xing Xiuyan, who was originally embarrassed, has a good impression of him, a man with both good and evil talents, which is different from last time.This is the reason for the state of mind of people in different situations.

But seeing that Baoyu didn't have that man's magnificent appearance and the bearing of a king, he was still a handsome young man at this time.

Daiyu's nuns were on guard, and Daiyu only treated him with courtesy, but Daiyu was afraid that he would commit another idiot, so she had to take a rest under the pretext of being tired.Let's not mention this matter for now.

But Xing Xiuyan stayed in Rongfu for a while, and she found that Yingchun is a very simple person. Although she is cold and dull, she will not be jealous and hurt others. Apart from being with Daiyu, she just plays chess and reads books with Yingchun.Xing Xiuyan has similarities with Yingchun to some extent, that is, he doesn’t care about it, but Xing Xiuyan’s indifference is a bit of a hermit indifferent in his bones (in fact, it’s temperament, when it reaches the extreme, things will turn against each other), and he feels that the other party is not worth wasting his time and attention. But Yingchun is because the environment makes her not confident, and she doesn't want to cause trouble for others.

Xing Xiuyan and Yingchun get along quite happily, she is a person who loves beautiful girls very much, Yingchun is honest and amiable, not as harsh as Tanchun.And because Xichun is as good at painting as Xing Xiuyan, and Xing Xiuyan lived next to Panxiang Temple for ten years, the two have a common language.

After staying for two days, Daiyu invited her and Yingchun to stroll in the old garden of Rongfu this morning, but they met Baochai, Tanchun, Xichun sisters, and an assailant whom she was extremely surprised by.

Xiren has always suspected that she is Xin Xiuyan, and of course she also knows that she is Hua Zhenzhu, although she is not exactly the same as her previous life, there are always some similarities.

The beauties in the Red Chamber were admiring the peony flowers and discussing poems. Xing Xiuyan made an excuse to change clothes, and Xiren had a good look, so she used the excuse to serve in the past.

Qingxuan, who was on duty by her side, didn't want an outsider to take her place, so she said: "It's too much trouble to attack the girl, our girl has me to serve."

But Xing Xiuyan said: "I am close to sister Xi Ren..."

When I arrived at a bamboo grove in a quiet path, there was no one left and right, so Xing Xiuxiu faced Xiren.

Xiren looked at Xing Xiuyan, and started a seasoning shop in his heart, with mixed flavors, and finally asked, "Xin Xiuyan?"

Xing Xiuyan's "reunion with an old friend" of course does not have the feeling of a fellow countryman seeing a fellow countryman, but seeing Xiren, reincarnated as a human being, the previous grievances are long gone in her heart, and the inferiority of human beings. , she inevitably felt a little gloating.It's true that the sky has never spared anyone!

"Hua Zhenzhu. It turns out that you also found an identity here. Where is Zhao Jiahuan?"

"Go to Jinling to take the imperial examination." Xiren sighed.

Xing Xiuyan thought about it, Xiren knew him, so it meant that he was from the mansion, because a Tongfang cannot leave the mansion at will.The people in the mansion must be masters who can take the imperial examination, and they just go now, Xing Xiuyan thought of the abnormal situation that he had vaguely heard about two days ago.

"Jia Huan? Hehe, what a pity. If he were Jia Baoyu, you would be worthy."

Xiren looked at her with complicated eyes, she didn't deliberately hide it because she knew Xin Xiuyan, with her extreme temperament and soft heart, she would disdain to attack her now, otherwise she would have left them earlier.

"Now you can laugh at us as much as you want. You seem to be doing well. You are familiar with the Red Mansion. This is your home field."

When it comes to "doing well", Xing Xiuyan must have felt the same way before, but now that she is going to be drafted and locked up there to be a concubine, she feels unimpressed.It would be nice if things turned around.

But if it is unavoidable to be a "little wife", facing Hua Zhenzhu's "house maid", she is also a "turtle laughing like a bastard".

"Just a little better than you, but maybe you can live longer than me. In the future, you will marry a chess player according to the plot, and being an ordinary couple may not necessarily be happiness."

But Xiren said with a trace of disdain: "You are in front of a lady from the official family, but I am in a lowly family. I will not be able to get over in the future, and I will marry someone from a lowly family background?"

Xing Xiuyan couldn't help being taken aback, thinking of Hua Zhenzhu's temperament that loved to compare with others back then, she was also helpless.They were able to become good friends back then, but it was also because they lived in the same dormitory when they were in college, and they happened to be both from Suzhou.Xing Xiuyan knows that she can tolerate her shortcomings, so she doesn't care about giving her two points on weekdays. She is too busy with studies and part-time jobs, and she can't get along with her all the time, which is fine.

Xing Xiuyan said indifferently: "Whether I am an official lady has nothing to do with you, and whoever you marry has nothing to do with me."

Xi Ren felt extremely hurt, she was resentful, and said: "It doesn't matter, but I hate why God treats me so unfairly. It's the same time travel, you and I have such a big difference in identity, why are you making fun of me like this. "

Xing Xiuyan said: "It's not that God wants to play tricks on you, but that you will become what you are. You secretly sleep with your girlfriend's boyfriend, and you attack Jia Baoyu; Maid, you have similar personalities. When your soul comes here, it will choose to merge with the person with the closest aura like you. Zhao Jiahuan is also a person who has a jealous heart. Zhao Jiahuan was born in poverty. , Many people stepped on him when he first entered the workplace, and they felt the same way."

Tu Yuanyi mentioned these to her at the beginning, this is the basic principle of time and space.

Xiren felt it was humiliating, and said, "But I remember that Xing Xiuyan was born in a poor family. How can you be so rich?"

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said, "You also said that I am familiar with the Red Mansion, so I won't change?"

"So, you flattered Lin Daiyu?"

Xing Xiuyan knew that Tu Yuanyi's affairs should never be told to others, so she nodded and said, "It's not considered a flattery, I liked her in the first place."

"How did your father become an official?"

Xing Xiuyan could have ignored her questioning, even if Xiren was a time-traveling woman, she was nothing more than an ant, and even she, Xing Xiuyan, was an ant.

But Xing Xiuyan had no intention of spending time and energy on abusing scumbags, and he couldn't make others suspect Tu Yuanyi, so he said: "My father-in-law Lin is helping! This is probably not the 'original', I Guess it is... the rebirth article of my adoptive father as the main character. When I was in Gusu, I was destined to meet his eyes, so I was with my second sister. My adoptive father was a prosperous official and assisted Mingjun. Lost."

Xiren's eyes were red, why didn't she wear it earlier, she didn't have anything to do with Baoyu, and then flattered Lin Daiyu everywhere, maybe she could also be Lin Ruhai's adopted daughter.

Xiren suddenly grabbed Xing Xiuyan's sleeve and said, "Ayan, I know I'm wrong, please help me."

Xing Xiuyan pulled back her sleeves, and said, "I have no intention of meeting you. The past is over, and our grievances and grievances are over. I have no reason to help you, and I don't think you are worthy of making friends."

Xi Ren said: "We came from the same place after all. It was indeed my fault before. I already regret it very much."

Xing Xiuyan made a smirk and said, "It has nothing to do with me, you don't need to admit your mistakes. If you can make money and gain fame and fortune by admitting your mistakes, then why work hard?"

After finishing speaking, Xing Xiuyan turned around and left, Xiren looked at her in silk and pearls, and thought that she was in a difficult situation and her future was uncertain, and couldn't help feeling depressed.
