The maid of the red house

Hearing the worry and hesitation in Daiyu's tone, Xueyan comforted softly: "Didn't the girl say it herself, we are different from her, and we still have our own way out, as long as the girl knows what to do, she will definitely I will live a safe and healthy life.”

"Really?" Daiyu looked up at her, begging for her confirmation.

"Of course!" Xueyan nodded vigorously, which gave her infinite confidence, "Girl, don't blame me for being talkative. No one tells the girl about this. I tell the girl to let the girl know."

Daiyu is extremely intelligent by nature, blindly hiding it from her is definitely not a good thing.

It's better to let her go through all these things in her heart and judge for herself what is right and what is wrong.

Daiyu nodded with tears in her eyes, and there was a gleam of determination in her eyes. Although there were tears, she couldn't hide her ambition, and said: "Xueyan, my mother left early, I haven't learned anything, and I have been away from my father for many years. I have many things to do." I don’t understand, if I do something wrong, or do something I shouldn’t, please remind me a few more words and don’t hide it from me. Although I have no one to teach me how to behave, I can’t lose our family’s reputation , I can’t live up to the arrangement that my father worked so hard on before he died.”

Xueyan knew Daiyu's temperament early on, but seeing her humbly accepting her advice today, she couldn't help being a little emotional, she nodded solemnly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, you won't do well tomorrow, I have a headache." The one who said the girl is not, I just hope that the girl will not think that I am arrogant."

Daiyu sighed, "I'm looking forward to someone teaching me these things I should know and pay attention to."

Then, she hesitated for a moment and asked: "You said just now that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not harmonious. Could it be that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are really natural enemies in ancient times? Where is the girl's cousin in your story? Why didn't you help her? Baoyu, Baoyu is always different of."

"It's too easy to just say the word "natural enemy". For those mothers-in-law outside, even if their daughter-in-law is their favorite, if the son and daughter-in-law love each other deeply and are a little closer, they will think that the son married the daughter-in-law and forgot his mother, and then sit on their own. Standing with my daughter-in-law, eating my daughter-in-law hungry, lying down and beating her legs, this is still a satisfied daughter-in-law. If you don’t like a daughter-in-law, you don’t know how many ways to torture her!” Xueyan knew that she was worried about Mrs. Wang. After all, she still believed in the agreement between her father and grandmother.

Looking at Daiyu's pale face by the light outside the tent, Xueyan hardened her heart and said: "Although that girl's cousin is kind-hearted, he is usually very weak-tempered. I don't know how many girls are tired of him, but he He didn't take any responsibility. When the girl died, he didn't do anything. He just cried bitterly. Later, the girl's aunt decided to marry his niece, and the cousin married obediently and had children. There was no objection."

Regarding Baoyu becoming a monk after marriage, many people said that he was deeply affectionate, but Xueyan didn't think so.

Baoyu's idea was that even if his original partner died, he would have to live a good life, and then find another one, and just keep this original partner in his heart.

But the reason why he became a monk was actually because Jia's family was confiscated. He was not used to the scorching world. Of course, one of the reasons why he became a monk was Daiyu's death, but Daiyu's death was not the main reason for him to become a monk. Otherwise, why didn't he become a monk after Daiyu's death and before Baochai got married?Wouldn't that better describe his disappointment in love and his ashes?There is no need to ruin Baochai's life.

I just feel sorry for Daiyu, who has to bear the reputation of Baoyu becoming a monk because of her death, which arouses the resentment of the living.

So the story Xueyan told Daiyu only mentioned that her cousin married a wife and had children, and said: "The girl's cousin is like this, let alone the second master Bao? The second wife's attitude towards the girl is very obvious. We can't help but deceive ourselves, but the old man My wife can't see through it, and I always think that I can force the second wife to compromise. Also, my son heard something about the second master Bao. I wonder if the girl knows?"

Daiyu heard that the cousin was doing nothing when the girl was lonely and helpless, and her face was already pale. When Baoyu was mentioned, her face flushed slightly, and then her eyes showed curiosity, and she said, "What's the matter? I didn't heard."

Xueyan said softly: "It's Mr. Qin who is very good with Second Master Bao. I heard that the two were so good that there was a bad rumor outside, and when Grandma Xiaorong in Dongfu was sending her funeral, They were resting in the nunnery, and Mr. Qin had a tryst with the little nun, Zhi'er. He caught the cold and fell ill when he came back. He didn't want Zhi'er to come to the city to visit. Master Qin found out and kicked him out, and beat up Mr. Qin. , I also died of anger, and later, Xianggong Xiaoqin was hurt by anger and killed his father, so he also died."

Hearing the word tryst, Daiyu was so ashamed that she pulled the quilt to cover her face, and muttered quietly: "I'm so shameless, you can bring these words in from outside and tell me? Be careful, others will know, fight back." You have a meal!"

Xueyan smiled and said: "Only the girl knows about this matter, so why not tell others to kill me?" Daiyu's advantage is that she can listen to other people's words, even if the person is a girl, if she doesn't put the person next to her The maid is regarded as a sister, how can Zijuan confide in her?In the original book, the only couple who truly love girls and maids are sisters.

So Xueyan said seriously: "Girl think about it, Mr. Qin did such things just after Grandma Xiao Rong died, what is his character? So what if there is nothing wrong with Second Master Bao?"

Daiyu was startled when she heard this, and said, "Baoyu also knows?"

She is a filial daughter, she has long been dissatisfied when she saw that the Rongguo Mansion didn't care about her parents several times, she was just kind-hearted and refused to hold grudges, and now she heard that Baoyu allowed Qin Zhong to mess around like this at the elder sister's funeral, she couldn't help being very disappointed .

"I heard that I knew it, and helped to hide it from everyone. It is said that Mr. Qin was holding his smart son in the old lady's room, but Mr. Bao didn't show at all, and he didn't persuade him. Listen, girl, what is this? Then But the old lady's room." Xueyan said in a deep voice, she told Daiyu the truth, it was up to Daiyu to judge right from wrong, she would not comment.

If you don't know the filth of darkness, how can you know the beauty of light?

Daiyu only needs to know what Baoyu does, and she doesn’t need to say that Baoyu is not a good match. She knows that she should stay away from Baoyu. The dandy side.

Sure enough, Daiyu was silent for a while, and said softly: "It's getting late, turn off the lights and go to sleep."

Xue Yanfang sat up, put on the warm jacket that Daiyu used to wear when getting up at night, opened the curtain, leaned forward and blew out the lamp, turned around again, put down the curtain, took off the jacket, and slept with Daiyu under the quilt.

Daiyu closed her eyes, quietly thinking about the story Xueyan told, so frightening.

She never thought about it, if her father hadn't arranged for her a farm store and a few houses for her family, if she hadn't entrusted Xueyan with half of her family property, if Xueyan hadn't complained about her grievances and fought for her to enter the mansion through Yimen to let others know that she was carrying Family property, what will happen to me.She vaguely felt that the girl in the story was her shadow, her life.

It was the first time she faced up to her situation, it was difficult and dangerous, and she was not much better than that girl. Although she kept telling herself that she would go home if she was not happy here, but now she understood that the Rongguo Mansion would never let her go. go home by yourself.

The misappropriated property, like that girl, was the reason why she couldn't leave.

As for the agreement in the letter, the corners of Daiyu's mouth revealed bitterness. After hearing Xueyan's words, Baoyu's beautiful jade-like image had cracks, and the beautiful jade with cracks would no longer be flawless.

After she knew what happened to that girl, she didn't dare to hope for this agreement.No wonder my father said that if he couldn't live in Rongguo Mansion, he would go home. He must have no hope, so he said such words to her. Otherwise, why didn't he tell himself the agreement between the old man and Jia's mother in the letter?

Originally, she was vaguely pleased by what Jiamu revealed, and felt that there was no one better than Baoyu in the world, and since she was a childhood sweetheart, he was very kind to herself, and Jiamu showed great joy. Seeing the attitude of success, so what if you, Xue Baochai, have a happy marriage?Baoyu treats me better than you, the old lady is satisfied but I am not satisfied with you.

But when she clearly realized the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, what Yuanchun meant, the power of gossip, and Baoyu's personality, she knew that she had to face the reality. Mother Jia was almost 80 years old, and she could not rely on her for the rest of her life.

Xueyan is only three years older than herself, and she worries about everything for herself, but she has never been as good as Zijuan to her.

Daiyu couldn't help being very ashamed. When she got up early the next morning, she opened the Jade Buddha that Lin Ruhai gave her, took out the deed of sale and handed it to Xueyan. Looking at Xueyan's shocked eyes, she said, "I see you You are very considerate, keep your deed of prostitution yourself, lest I accidentally lose the Jade Buddha one day, that would be bad."

Xueyan was both surprised and delighted, the one who was surprised was that Daiyu would give her the deed of sale, but the one who was delighted was that with this deed of sale, she would take it to the yamen to get rid of her slave status in the future, she is an upright and good citizen, No longer let others slaughter.

"Miss, aren't you afraid that I'll run away with the deed of prostitution?" After the surprise, Xue Yan quickly calmed down, with a look of hatred on her face, "People's hearts are the most unpredictable in this world, not to mention I still have important things in my hand!"

Daiyu smiled as if nothing had happened, and said softly: "I wanted to give it to you a long time ago, but I forgot it afterwards. Besides, why do you have to use a contract of sale to maintain the relationship between you and me? If you really want to Me, without this deed, you will still plan for me, if you don't have the heart for me, you will go far away, so as not to be in such a situation with me, without knowing your future."

"Miss treats me like this, I will definitely not let her down, and I will definitely give her an explanation." After getting her own contract of selling herself, Xueyan added [-] points to Daiyu's extraordinarily sincere heart, " We are in such a situation, the girl must cheer herself up." It is not enough to rely on her own efforts, and Daiyu has to control her own destiny.

After so many years in the society, it was difficult for her to open her heart to anyone, but this time she was really moved by Daiyu, but although she was very moved, she still didn't tell her the secret of mustard seeds.

Xueyan never thought of telling anyone about mustard seeds, if Lin Ruhai was not dying and seeing that Daiyu was about to lose everything, she would not have told Lin Ruhai either.It was as if Lin Ruhai spoke unscrupulously in front of a little girl like her because she was about to die, she clearly sensed Lin Ruhai's resentment towards the new emperor.

If it wasn't for protecting Daiyu's family property, Xueyan would never have planned to rely on Xumi mustard seeds.

Relying on the sky and the earth, relying on people and mountains, is not as good as relying on yourself.

Daiyu looked out the window, looked at the distant Jiangnan, nodded and said: "It's natural. You put it away quickly, and I will also ask Zijuan's body deed from my grandmother when I have a chance tomorrow."
