The maid of the red house
Chapter 91
Living in the East Courtyard, Tanchun's activities are under strict control. She just came out of Baochai's room, and on the way, she saw Zhou Rui's family coming. Tanchun has always respected the people around Mrs. Wang, and said with a quick smile: " Where is mother from?"
Zhou Rui's family heard that Grand Concubine Nan'an wanted to recognize Tan Chun as a righteous daughter, and knowing her unusual status, they smiled and said: "Concubine Nan'an is here, my wife sent me to invite the girl to meet her."
When Tanchun heard the words, his heart suddenly moved. He remembered the news he had just learned from Baoyu, and said, "Why did Concubine Nan'an come all of a sudden?"
Zhou Rui's family said with a smile: "We are family friends, so we inevitably see each other often."
Tanchun was shocked and deeply disturbed.She was not a stupid girl, and she knew the world affairs, just now she heard from Baoyu that the King of Nan'an was defeated and captured along the West Sea, and she also knew that Java asked the heaven to send the princess to marry her, and she knew that the court chose the young girl of the King of Nan'an who had not left the court. How could Tanchun fail to guess that Concubine Nan'an's trip was malicious.
Zhou Rui's family urged: "Miss, change your clothes quickly, come with me, don't keep Concubine Nan'an waiting too long."
Tanchun asked: "Are you seeing me alone? Or are you seeing me and Fourth Sister? If you see me and Fourth Sister, I will find Fourth Sister to go there together." All the Fangs in the Rongguo Mansion were dispersed, leaving only Tanchun and Xichun Sister, she stayed in a corner with Mrs. Jia Zhengwang and others. Xichun only knew about chanting sutras and Buddha, and she hadn't seen her for quite a while.
Thinking of the situation in the mansion, Tanchun couldn't help sighing in his heart, maybe it won't last long.
Zhou Rui's family laughed and said, "How can the fourth girl be smarter than the third girl? So my wife sent me to let the girl go alone."
Tanchun had to go back to his room, change his clothes, and tidy up a little.
When Zhou Rui's family met, they were full of admiration, and said with a smile: "The third girl Zhenzhen is a rare and beautiful person. Needless to say, her appearance is unmatched by anyone. It's strange that Princess Nan'an misses the third girl." the benefits of."
Tanchun forced a smile, he knew that he would be remembered by the Nan'an concubine, but he would rather not have such benefits, when he left the house and passed by Baoyu and Baochai's outer study courtyard, it happened that Baochai came out, and Baochai was not an ordinary woman , got the news earlier, looked at Tanchun worriedly, and asked, "Where is the third sister going?"
Tanchun said in a low voice, "The Concubine Nan'an is here, and asked me to meet her in the past."
Baochai was startled when she heard the words, and said in surprise, "What is this for?"
Before he could say a word, he saw Baoyu rushing out. He was dazed at first, then grabbed Tanchun and shouted, "Third sister can't go. Who knows why Princess Nan'an came here for?"
Zhou Rui's family's complexion darkened, fearing that Concubine Nan'an would be anxious to wait, she stepped forward and said, "Second Master Bao, this is my wife's order, Second Master, don't stop the third girl from going, and carefully neglect Concubine Nan'an, my wife knows, I am annoyed Second Master's is not."
Baoyu glared at her and reprimanded, "You were the ones who instigated it. Otherwise, why would you ask Third Sister to come over?"
Zhou Rui's face blushed upon hearing this.
Tanchun got rid of Baoyu's hand and said with a wry smile: "Our family has reached such a point, so what can we do if we don't go? Second brother let go and let me go. Whether it is life or death, we must face it." In a word, Baoyu dripped Tears come.
Tanchun said goodbye to Baochai and Baoyu, and followed Zhou Rui's family to Rongxi Hall.
Concubine Nan'an was sitting at the top, dressed in brocade and luxurious attire, she was very richly dressed, but she couldn't hide her exhausted look. When she saw Tanchun approaching, she came down and pulled Tanchun by herself. With a look of satisfaction, he smiled at Mrs. Wang: "I just said hello to the third girl of your family. I haven't seen you for two or three years, and she has become more and more beautiful. With this appearance and style, even my two girls are far away." No, no wonder others say that good girls are in your house."
When Madam Wang heard this, she knew that Concubine Nan'an was very satisfied with Tanchun, so she said humbly: "The third girl is just like a pussy willow and as small as a firefly bean. .”
Concubine Nan'an pulled Tanchun to sit beside her, first comforted Tanchun's panic, then smiled and replied to Mrs. Wang, "Why can't she be? If she is not good, there is nothing better in the world. It's just that I got it for nothing." A daughter, don't be reluctant."
Hearing these words, Tanchun's heart felt like falling into an ice cave, his face was pale with shock, and he was very panicked.
Sister Feng saw Princess Nan'an pursing her lips and smiling, she didn't look like a Bodhisattva in the temple, but an evil ghost seeking her life. She couldn't help looking at Tanchun, with a trace of sympathy on her face, although Tanchun was very pitiful, As the adopted daughter of Concubine Nan'an, she has to marry far away, but she knows that she cannot interfere with Mrs. Wang's decision to explore the spring, and she also knows that it is a great joy to have a backer like Nan'an Palace at home. Both Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing were eager to see her there.
Mrs. Wang smiled without hesitation: "The concubine took a fancy to Sanyatou, it was Sanyatou's luck, she became a daughter to the concubine, and tomorrow she will be the princess. This is a blessing that no one else can ask for. I only have Those who are happy for Sanya, how can they be reluctant, I am afraid that Sanya is born shy, which will make the concubine worry too much."
After finishing speaking, he said to Tanchun: "Three girls, come here and kowtow to the concubine."
As soon as the words fell, a servant girl brought a brocade mat.
There was silence in the room for a while, everyone looked at Tanchun, happy, sighed, sad, and worried, and so on.
After Tanchun listened, she stood up dumbfoundedly, not knowing where her spirit was wandering, her heart was full of mixed emotions, she couldn't say anything, she suddenly raised her head, and looked at the expression of Concubine Nan'an who was determined to win, and Mrs. Wang's eagerly looking forward to it. Looking at these, she knew that today's matter could not be refused by herself, and she would never do so. Thinking of this, Tanchun could only walk down slowly, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Concubine Nan'an, and said: "Daughter to mother Please."
Grand Concubine Nan'an saw her, she beamed and said, "Good daughter, get up quickly, there is no need to be polite."
After Tanchun got up, a girl supported her and sat beside Concubine Nan'an.
Concubine Nan'an pulled Tanchun, with unspeakable joy on her face, she was generally more satisfied with Tanchun's knowledge, at this time she waved to the servants she brought, a girl went out and said, and then countless Maids and servants filed in, carrying many boxes and cages, and countless silk, satin, gold and jade antiques, which filled the hall, shining brightly.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
Seeing their stunned faces, Concubine Nan'an smiled slightly, and said to Mrs. Wang: "Since I recognize the third girl as my daughter, I will definitely not neglect her. Second wife, just rest assured, these are just a little thought for the family. Tomorrow Sanyatou has sealed the princess, and there is a dowry prepared by us when we leave the pavilion, when our prince returns, I will be grateful for Sanyatou's benefits in my heart, and I will thank you very much."
Hearing Concubine Nan'an clearly said to send him to marry, Tanchun felt ashamed and couldn't believe it, but Mrs. Wang felt relieved. With Concubine Nan'an's promise, her family had an extra backer, and hurriedly said: " How can you bother the concubine so much?"
Concubine Nan'an smiled and said: "It's not a waste of money, it's just my intention. Now that I have recognized Sanya, I will take her back home."
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she couldn't help but agree.
But Tanchun said: "Mother, I don't know if there will be a day to see you again this time. My mother told me to say goodbye to my sisters. The sisters have a good relationship. You have to meet and say goodbye."
After hearing this, Grand Concubine Nan'an couldn't help feeling pity, and said: "In this case, you can stay for a few more days."
Seeing that she agreed, Tanchun hurriedly got up to thank her.
Concubine Nan'an said to Mrs. Wang again: "Third girl, please stay in the mansion first, and there will be a good student in Lao's mansion to take care of her. In a few days, I will send someone to pick her up and return to the palace. Tomorrow, I will send someone to bring the princess's clothes."
Mrs. Wang promised not to mention it.
Concubine Nan'an gave Tanchun a few words, and left a few nuns and maids at her beck and call, before she left.
After seeing off Concubine Nan'an and returning, Tanchun burst into tears.
Seeing how pitiful she was, Sister Feng came over to comfort her and said, "Third Sister, think about it."
Although Tanchun had countless tears, she did not dare to cry in front of Mrs. Wang and the nuns left behind by Nan'an Palace. She held back her pain and said, "I'm fine, thank you sister-in-law for your persuasion."
Mrs. Wang sighed: "Third girl, this is your fate, your fate is good, there is good luck."
Tanchun stood up, bowed his head and said yes.
Mrs. Wang glanced at her, and said: "Go back to your room to rest, send someone to send a message, and pick up your old sisters over here. It's always a good time to say goodbye. I saw you earlier and said goodbye sooner. I know when Concubine Nan'an will send someone to pick you up. I will send your second sister-in-law to help you after this matter, so I will meet you before you leave."
When he got back to the east courtyard, Tanchun went back to his room first.
At that time, everyone in the whole family knew about it, and the servant couldn't help weeping bitterly: "My girl, why is your life so hard?"
Tanchun covered his face with a handkerchief, and wept bitterly at his desk.
Cui Mo watched from outside the door, and the servant Fang said: "What do you mean? If I had known today, I should have listened to Miss Lin and asked the old lady to make decisions for the girl to see someone else, so there would be no disaster today." They are Tanchun's personal maids, and they must follow Tanchun to get married, and they will stay away from their parents in their hometown.
Tanchun choked up and said, "What disaster? What difficulty? It's all my fate."
The servant said: "Why do you have to go and get married? Isn't there a princess in Nan'an Palace? Madam is so cruel?"
After hearing this, Tan Chun hurriedly came over to cover her mouth, then wiped his tears and said, "Silly girl, why don't you understand after you have been with me for so many years? What can my wife do? Suppressing people, we cannot tolerate our refusal, there must be some master's intentions in it, otherwise the wife will not agree."
The servant was taken aback, and said in a low voice: "It's fine, madam, after all, there is a layer of belly, but why is the master so cruel?"
Tanchun turned around, walked slowly to the window, looked at the ever-changing clouds in the sky, smiled wryly, and said in a low voice: "The mansion is getting worse every year. Since the separation, the estrangement between the two families has deepened. The family is living without food, and they only use money to support themselves. My uncle is dead, the Xue family is ruined, and our family is in decline. Even a mere Jiayu Village can slander us. It can be seen that it is not as good as before. This time I will replace Nan'an County My lord and relatives, our family has the backing of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion out of thin air."
I replaced Nan'an princess to marry far away, and when the Nan'an prince came back, the Nan'an palace would treat his parents differently. They don't have to endure the slaughter of the big house after Jia's mother passed away. lack.Tanchun understands that there is only an empty shelf left in his home, if he wants to last long, he has to do so.It's just that I don't know how much long-term wealth can be exchanged.
The waiter followed Tanchun for a long time, so he naturally understood what Tanchun meant, sobbing: "That can't be exchanged with a girl."
Tan Chun let out a long sigh, but instead comforted him: "Don't complain for me, who knows if this is a blessing or a curse for me? Even if there is no such thing as today, how can I escape what will happen in the future? I It’s a girl’s house, and parents are the ones who decide for life.”
Shi Shu naturally understood, otherwise Tanchun would not have flattered Mrs. Wang like that since he was a child, and was about to say more when he heard Cui Mo shouting outside: "Second Master Bao is here."
Tanchun hurriedly stopped the waiter's words, stood up to greet him, and said, "Second brother is not working hard at home, why are you here?"
As soon as Baoyu entered the door, he burst into tears, took Tanchun's hand, and sobbed: "Why is the third sister so miserable? Nan'an Concubine is not recognized by others, so why did she recognize the third sister? Defending the family and the country is the job of soldiers. How can I let the third younger sister, a weak woman, go to marry? Even if the third younger sister goes, how can I get a few more years of peace?"
Thinking of his future destiny, Tanchun couldn't help but burst into tears.
Baochai followed in, and after listening to Baoyu's words, she hurriedly said, "Second Master, you can't talk nonsense. Don't let the outside hear that our mansion is complaining about Nan'an Palace secretly."
Tanchun also persuaded: "Second sister-in-law is right, second elder brother should be more careful about what he says."
Baoyu said: "Am I wrong? The princess of their family is a treasure of gold and jewelry. Is our girl a piece of copper? It's not worth mentioning? Our family is also a family of scholars, a family of bells and tripods, Why is no one making decisions for the third sister?"
Tanchun turned his back and said in a low voice: "If the second elder brother and the second sister-in-law love me, they should post a message for me first, and ask the second elder sister, Lin, Qin, and sister Yun to come over. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for the rest of my life, so before leaving, the sisters meet, say a few words, or write a few words, and bring them there, just to think about it."
Baoyu and Baochai felt very sad when they heard this.
Tanchun wrote the post himself, and suddenly Jia Zheng called, and Tanchun hurried over.
Early the next morning, Baochai ordered people to send the posts to various places.
Daiyu was worried about the matter of her cousins and nephews' Chun Wei recently, and she didn't know about Nan'an Concubine's recognition of Tan Chun, so when she received the post, she still laughed and said: "Why did you think of sending a post to treat guests? Is it for three My sister's birthday? Don't worry, I haven't forgotten her birthday, and when the third day of March comes, I will definitely give you a generous gift."
Daiyu's birthday had just passed, so she naturally remembered that Qingming Festival was Tanchun's birthday.
The mother-in-law who came to report the letter couldn't help but said: "It's not for the treat, it's because the third girl has become the princess of the Nan'an Palace, and she will marry far away and become the princess of Fan Wang in person. The third girl is reluctant to part with the sisters and wants to see them .”
Daiyu's face turned pale with shock. The news that the Javanese country asked for a marriage in exchange for Nan'an County King spread widely, and she knew it, so she asked, "Why is it the third sister?" She remembered that Xueyan mentioned that Yu Liansheng had been there In Nan'an Palace, it was said that Emperor Changqian said that he and his princess must be born in Nan'an Palace. Unexpectedly, Nan'an Palace would dare to do this, stealing the beam and changing posts. Nan'an Concubine recognized Tanchun as a righteous daughter, and received them in their palace. It was from Nan'an Palace.
The mother-in-law sighed: "The Concubine Nan'an only has her eyes on the third girl, so the third girl wants to see her aunts."
After hearing this, Daiyu hurried back to Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou also sighed and allowed her to go.
The news that Grand Concubine Nan'an recognized Tan Chun as her adopted daughter has spread throughout the capital, and everyone laughed at Grand Concubine Nan'an's good intentions. Even Xueyan knew about it, and couldn't help but sigh, Rongguo Mansion has reached such a point, no wonder they are eager to find a backer, After all, leaning against a big tree is good for enjoying the shade.
Thinking of this, Xueyan couldn't help asking Yu Liansheng who was out of the palace to play: "Brother said it was the intention of the second master of the Jia family?"
Yu Liansheng was hugging Brother Qi to look at the flowers, and he sneered at the sound, and said, "That's not what the second master meant, and it was even more grandiose to talk to the third girl. If they don't want the third girl to marry far away, they just need to say I have already discussed marriage with the third girl, or made a marriage agreement, although it is just an excuse, but saying these is to evade, can it be said that Princess Nan'an is still bullying others?"
Xueyan hurriedly asked: "What did you say to the third girl?"
Yu Liansheng thought for a while, and said: "I heard that after Nan'an Taifei recognized the third girl, the second master called the third girl over that night, saying that she married far away to be loyal to the country, and exchanged her body as a woman for the king of Nan'an County. It is to save the people of one side, and so on, anyway, it is said that the three girls' marriage is a great righteousness, and for the sake of the great righteousness of the country, it is reasonable to let go of the small details."
Xueyan spat immediately when she heard the words. Although she knew Jia Zheng's true nature, she still couldn't believe it when she heard Yu Liansheng say these words.No need to inquire, she also knows the reason why the Rongguo Mansion is willing to take Tanchun to replace Nan'an Princess and get married. The man is not up to date, and doesn't want to think about how to revitalize the family business. He only knows how to rely on his daughter in exchange for wealth. The fragrance has disappeared and the jade has died, and now it is Tanchun's turn to win a long life for the family.
Yu Liansheng said, "That third girl is a pity."
Xueyan nodded and said: "Madam Lin has always thought that the sisters have a good future, but it is a pity that they are outsiders after all, so it is difficult to intervene, and the second wife does not like Madam Lin very much, Madam Lin is naturally not easy to catch up, I don't know what will happen now Why are you worried about Miss San?"
Yu Liansheng sneered and said, "Mrs. Lin is so considerate of her sisters, but how many of her sisters treat her sincerely?"
Xueyan pursed her lips and smiled, as Yu Liansheng said, none of the sisters had a deep relationship with Daiyu, and they treated Daiyu indifferently on weekdays, maybe it was because Daiyu was too much loved by Jia Mu, they The serious girl leaned back, but no one thought about it, they spent so much of Daiyu's family property, so it's okay for Jia Mu to feel a little pain.
Just thinking about it, the Jia family suddenly sent someone to deliver a post, saying that Tanchun invited Xueyan to come over for a while.
Xueyan was stunned, and said: "Just invite the sisters of Suri to go, why do you still have me?"
Yu Liansheng glanced at the post, and said indifferently: "Since I invited you, there must be a reason. Where is your current status, don't be too arrogant. You used to be. I have me at home. I look at Brother Qi." Son."
Xueyan heard this, so she had to dress up again, and then went by car. When she arrived at the east courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, Daiyu Yingchun, Xiangyun Baochai, Baoqin, and Sister Feng Li Wan were also present. When they saw Tanchun, they all surrounded her. Weeping sadly, except for Daiyu, everyone has not seen Xueyan for many days, and they all greeted her, Xueyan calmly dealt with it, and it was easy to get by.
Sister Feng said: "Third sister is gone, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to see each other again." Thinking of her father's death, she was not as good as before in the big room. Mrs. Wang, who was protected by her father, they were looking for a backer more than herself in the room. She immediately glanced at Daiyu gratefully. If it wasn't for Daiyu, how could she have given birth to Brother Kui? , Let Jia She and his son do it.
Sensing Sister Feng's gratitude, Daiyu raised her head and gave her a slight nod, then comforted Tanchun.
Tanchun had already cried several times, but now he stopped crying. He forced a smile and said, "Don't be sad for me. I have such a temper, and everyone says I have to be strong. I won't wrong myself no matter where I am. To get married, you have to make a career. I used to say that I only hate myself for not being a man, not being able to go out to make contributions, and being powerless to the family. Now I don’t have to complain. I have been looking forward to going out for a lifetime, and now I am finally out of the house. "
Baochai said: "Having said that, how can it be good to be away from home for thousands of miles? Zhaojun died in depression when he was out of the country, and Princess Wencheng stayed empty in the boudoir to chant scriptures and Buddha, which was not tolerated by Princess Chizun. how?"
Daiyu wiped her tears with a handkerchief beside her, feeling very sad. After hearing this, she said, "Second Sister-in-law Bao is very right. Let's not talk about the difference in customs and the language barrier. Besides, Xihai Yanzi is six or seven thousand miles away from Beijing." Here, the country of Java is an island in the sea, I heard that the people there are fierce and uneducated, what good can you do in the past?"
Baoqin sighed: "I went to Xihai Yanzi when I was eight years old, and I know it all too well, it's very messy."
Tanchun said: "No matter where it is, I'm going to make a decision."
When everyone heard this, their eyes were red.
Baochai suddenly said, "I don't know why Java is married? Does sister Lin know? If they are afraid of heaven and the third sister goes over, I'm afraid life will be easier. Let's also find some books from Xihai Yanzi for the third sister. Well, the third sister first learned the customs and language of Java, and the situation will be better when she arrives in Java. We can't make decisions for the third sister, but we should think more about the third sister."
Xueyan praised her in her heart, as expected of Baochai, she was so thoughtful, and when she looked up, she was really grateful to see Tanchun.
I only heard Daiyu say: "Xueyan and I have a lot of books from the West Coast, and there are also records of Java. I picked them up and brought them here. The third sister will accept them and look at them for now. As for Java The request, I have heard a few words, it is nothing more than two kings standing side by side, the eastern king is trying to overwhelm the western king, and the one who is asking to marry the princess is the eastern king, who wants to use our power."
Tanchun's eyes lit up, and he said, "Since you have something to ask for, you must not neglect me."
Baochai nodded and said, "That's right. It's better to know Dongwang's plan than to be arrogant. The third sister is gone. According to the third sister's mind, she will definitely do something."
But Daiyu sighed, not very happy, Songtsan Gampo admired Datang, begged the princess to get married, how could he treat him kindly?
After hearing Daiyu's words, Tanchun felt sad.
After a long time, Tanchun looked around at the crowd, ordered them to take out pens and paper, and asked them to write down their poems on weekdays. He choked up and said, "At any rate, leave me some thoughts. I'll take it there. I don't know the place where I live." , When I feel homesick, just look at our poems. I miss you, and I also look at our poems. If you stay in the capital, whether you write poems or enjoy flowers, I can’t be with you anymore. I'm going now, and I'll leave the house to you."
Xueyan frowned slightly, and Baochai asked, "What do you mean by sister?"
Tanchun looked at Baochai's poems written by the poetry club in the past, and said: "I said earlier, Junzi Zhize was killed in the fifth generation, the Zhen family copied it, and the Rong family disappeared. How can people like us Is it possible to be rich for a long time? In my opinion, there will be a day when the ice will disintegrate. I am gone, out of sight and out of mind, that’s fine, but you are staying, so you should think about how long the mansion can last.”
Baochai smiled and said, "How is it like what you said? I don't think so." Although the Rongguo Mansion is indeed getting worse day by day, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. After all, it is the mother's family, so there is always something Yu Yin, and now there is another matter of Tanchun, let alone worry.
Tanchun sneered, and said: "Sister-in-law doesn't believe it, let's just look at the sun. I'm gone, what should you do? Why don't you think of a way to retreat first, so that it's too late to regret it."
Daiyu and Xueyan looked at each other, they couldn't hide the admiration on their faces, if Tanchun was a man, maybe he could really turn the tide.
Xichun had been sitting by the side silently, now hearing Tanchun's words, she interjected, "Don't worry too much, the cycle of heaven and earth has its own retribution, and not everyone can see through it like you do."
Tanchun glanced at her and saw that she was dressed in plain clothes, holding a Buddhist bead in her hand, and kept moving the Buddhist bead when she was talking. How can you rest assured that you are like this? Even so, there are my parents, brothers and family in the mansion, and I am thousands of miles away, so I can't help but remember them. There are no eggs under the nest. If I am alone, I will bless you. For a while in the mansion, it can be regarded as my dedication to my ancestors and parents."
Xi Chun sneered and said: "You miss others, others may not miss you, why bother. But if there is someone who thinks of you and takes pity on you, you don't have to end up like this."
After hearing this, Tanchun was speechless.
Xueyan secretly applauded, Xichun's words were really heartening, but unfortunately, although everyone in Rongguo Mansion knew the truth, no one dared to say it.
Yingchun was originally a dull person who only knew how to shed tears but didn't speak. Xiangyun couldn't help but think of his life experience. He was a widow when he was young, and his husband's family had nothing to rely on. Separated one by one."
Tanchun said: "There is no feast that lasts forever, who and who can stay together forever?"
This sentence made everyone even more sad, and couldn't help crying.
Seeing the sound of sobbing all over the room, Xueyan hurriedly winked at Yuanyang, ordered hot water to be brought up with everyone, and tidied up their makeup with everyone, so as not to make people laugh when they went out.
For a while, Tanchun said, "I have a few words to entrust to Sister Lin and Xueyan, sisters, how about going to sit with sister-in-law?"
When everyone heard this, they were very puzzled, but they all obeyed because they thought that Tanchun would go.
When Li Wan went out, he looked back, then shook his head and sighed, leading everyone to pass by first.
Xueyan looked at Tanchun, not knowing what she had entrusted to Daiyu, but she came over, took Daiyu's hand, and said, "Sister Lin, I'm going. When the family is in trouble, please beg for help." Help a lot."
Daiyu was startled, and said, "How do you say that?"
Tanchun sighed, and said: "Except for the fourth younger sister, they don't believe in me. I looked at it coldly, and only my elder sister can do anything. Except for my elder sister, I don't know who to trust. Our family is now a centipede. It's not stiff, it looks decent on the outside, but the inside is already in dire straits, the people in this mansion are waiting for their lives, they don't know the reason why the building is going to collapse, they still only know their lives and dreams, Zhen Jiarong's family was ransacked and exterminated, how did our family escape? When Zhen Jiarong’s family ransacked the house, the trees fell and the monkeys scattered, and the walls fell and everyone pushed them away. It’s really a cold world, who can say that someone in our family could give charcoal in a timely manner at that time?”
Xueyan couldn't help but said: "So the third girl entrusted our girls to take care of all the future affairs of the mansion?" The Rongguo Mansion has done a lot of evil, even if it ransacked the family and wiped out the family, it was its own fault, and now she wanted Daiyu to take care of them after they ransacked the house of everything?Don't say that Daiyu is an outsider, even the daughter of the Jia family's direct relative who came out of the cabinet, she can't take care of everything.
Daiyu also frowned slightly and remained silent.
Tan Chun's face flushed, she also knew how the mansion had embezzled the Lin family's property, her words were really difficult for others.
Looking at Daiyu, Tanchun pleaded: "Sister Lin, I know that the family is sorry for my sister, and I also know that this matter is embarrassing, but I really can't worry about Mrs. and Mrs. If one day, as I said, please see that you are all relatives." I don’t need to worry about their wealth and wealth, just give them ample food and clothing.”
Seeing her begging, Daiyu couldn't help but sighed when she thought about her tragic fate, and said: "Don't worry, if I can do my best, I will definitely not stand by and watch, but you must also understand the truth of being beyond the reach of one's whip."
When Tanchun heard her answer, he was very happy immediately, and said: "Thank you sister, I am grateful to my sister even if I am thousands of miles away."
Daiyu said: "When the second sister and Yun girl came out of the cabinet, I gave 200 taels of gold as money for the box. Today I asked someone to bring it. The old lady left it for me. I will distribute it to the sisters. This is what you should do." Got it."
Tanchun was stunned, and then said: "Sister, keep it. If the family suffers in the future, it's better to use this money to take care of it than I take it away."
At this moment, I heard Aunt Zhao howling outside the window: "My girl, people don't care about you, and you still care about what other people do? Who cares about your kindness?" As she spoke, she walked in from the outside, crying bitterly, Embarrassed.
When Daiyu and Xueyan saw her coming in, they both stood up and said hello.
Only Tan Chunzi blushed and said, "What is Auntie doing here?"
Aunt Zhao cried loudly: "What am I here for? I'm here to see the girl. You are the meat crawling out of my intestines. I don't know if I can see you again after traveling thousands of miles. Why can't I come to see you? You If you become a princess and princess, so what? I don't want any princess or son-in-law, I just hope that you will stay at home and marry a small family, safe and sound."
Tanchun burst into tears immediately, and said: "The matter has come to this, what's the use of what Auntie said?"
After hearing this, Aunt Zhao became jealous and said, "I'll go to the master, I ask the master to make the decision for you, I beg the master, I will kowtow to the master's wife, and I beg the master to go to Nan'an Palace to push this matter, we will not Be a princess, not a princess!"
Seeing Aunt Zhao walking away, Tanchun grabbed her and said, "Aunt Zhao is not allowed to go!"
Aunt Zhao stood still, then slapped her legs and cried loudly, "I won't go, why don't I just watch you not come back?"
Daiyu and Xueyan felt sore when they saw Aunt Zhao crying so much. Although they used to think she was contemptible and of low character, but seeing her sincere love for Tanchun, she was by no means comparable to Mrs. Jia Zhengwang. Very moved.
Tanchun sneered, and said: "The master and wife are the masters of my affairs. I will listen to them as they decide. I am a cold-hearted person. I only recognize the master and wife. Now the concubine Nan'an has recognized me. Dust Settle down, my aunt is so noisy, let Nan'an Taifei and the old lady know what they think of me? If my aunt really went to make trouble, I might as well be killed cleanly. It's just that I'm clean when I die, and I don't have to stay away from my parents in my hometown. The house is not what I want, what good can Auntie do?"
Aunt Zhao's heart was pierced by a knife, and she cried: "At this moment, you are still thinking about the house, why don't you think about me and Huan'er? Without you, half of me will die, and the other half will be Huan'er, gone. Sister, what will Huaner do in the future?"
Tanchun burst into tears and kept silent, letting Aunt Zhao cry.
Daiyu felt sad when she heard this, and persuaded: "My aunt remembers that she is concerned about the third sister. It is for my aunt's benefit. It's just that my aunt made such a fuss. Fortunately, it's okay if I'm from my own family. I won't talk too much. If outsiders know, how about calling the third sister?" How to live? As the third younger sister said, the matter has been settled, and the third younger sister is also worried that there will be no protection, and Auntie and Huan'er will not have a place to live."
Aunt Zhao pulled Daiyu and cried: "Grandma Lin, you are the most knowledgeable, you say, this is a court matter, this is an outside matter, what do you want me to do as a third girl? Being bullied for no reason Being trampled by others, why don't we send people to beat them up, what a waste of money the Javanese country has been beaten, let's see what kind of princess they dare to ask for marriage!"
Daiyu smiled shyly and was speechless.
Xueyan couldn't bear to listen any longer, and turned her head to look out of the window. At some point, a little snow fell outside, making it very deserted.
Tanchun shouted: "My aunt, don't talk nonsense! Sister Lin, don't listen to my aunt's nonsense. If we can make up our minds, why are we doing this? I don't know what the master and wife will think of me when I make such a fuss. Serve the book, you Send Auntie back, don't confess your love to me again, and take care of it, don't make people talk nonsense."
The waiter agreed, and pulled Aunt Zhao out with red and swollen eyes.
Aunt Zhao refused, and when Tanchun met, she had to cover her face and cry: "No matter what Auntie makes trouble, it is irreparable, why bother making trouble again? This is the master's intention, and I went for righteousness."
Xueyan knew about this from Yu Liansheng, but Daiyu didn't. Hearing this, she was startled and said, "Uncle said?"
After listening to Tanchun, he regretted his slip of the tongue and forced a smile, "That's also reasonable. If the king of Nan'an came back, I would have made meritorious service for the country. Isn't it righteous for me to be so useful for a mere weak woman?"
Daiyu felt a chill in her heart, Tanchun missed Jia Zheng and his wife so much, but besides Aunt Zhao, who seriously missed her?
A few days after returning from Rongguo Mansion, Xueyan heard that Concubine Nan'an recognized Tanchun as her adopted daughter, and asked Emperor Changqian to confer the title of Princess Ninghe. The king of Nan'an County, so he was in a hurry to go on the road. All the dowry items were prepared by the Nan'an Prince's Mansion. It is said that everyone in the world is married to Tanchun.
When Xueyan found out, she sneered, and it was a good deal to exchange so many things for a son without having to give up her daughter, so she said to Julien: "The sage didn't say anything when he knew about it?"
Emperor Changqian never allowed his subordinates to obey others, and Princess Nan'an had already committed the crime of Emperor Changgan by doing so.
Yu Liansheng smiled faintly and said, "Just wait."
Xueyan was startled.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for Tanchun to set off. She had to go south by boat first, and then turn to the sea from Jiangkou. Daiyu and Jia's family all went to the ferry to see her off. Because of their different identities, Xueyan didn't go there and just looked out of the window. Continuous drizzle, sighed silently.
Daiyu glanced at Concubine Nan'an, then lowered her head and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, who would have thought that Concubine Nan'an would be so ruthless under her kindness.
Tanchun was dressed in princess make-up today, very gorgeous, a group of maids and court ladies surrounded her, stepped on the red carpet, kowtowed farewell to Concubine Nan'an, couldn't help but look at Suri's relatives and sisters, after watching for a long time, Fang endured the pain. With tears in her eyes, she turned around and left. Once she left, she would never come back for the rest of her life. I hope each of us will be safe after we are separated. Thinking of this, Tanchun turned to look at Daiyu.
Knowing what she was worried about, Daiyu nodded slightly with tears in her eyes.
Tanchun felt relieved and never looked back.
Daiyu watched her go farther and farther, got into the sedan chair, and then boarded the boat. From a distance, she could still see Tanchun standing on the bow of the boat.
Back home, Daiyu felt more and more bored. Mrs. Zhou asked Zhou Yan to come over and play with her when she knew that her sisters were separated, and finally relieved her depression. The next morning, she heard the news that it was Emperor Changgan The decree is for the daughter of the clan to be married. Among them, the princess of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion chooses the second son of General Yuehai Wu as the county horse, and orders Nan'an Palace to send the princess south to marry soon.
Zhou Rui's family heard that Grand Concubine Nan'an wanted to recognize Tan Chun as a righteous daughter, and knowing her unusual status, they smiled and said: "Concubine Nan'an is here, my wife sent me to invite the girl to meet her."
When Tanchun heard the words, his heart suddenly moved. He remembered the news he had just learned from Baoyu, and said, "Why did Concubine Nan'an come all of a sudden?"
Zhou Rui's family said with a smile: "We are family friends, so we inevitably see each other often."
Tanchun was shocked and deeply disturbed.She was not a stupid girl, and she knew the world affairs, just now she heard from Baoyu that the King of Nan'an was defeated and captured along the West Sea, and she also knew that Java asked the heaven to send the princess to marry her, and she knew that the court chose the young girl of the King of Nan'an who had not left the court. How could Tanchun fail to guess that Concubine Nan'an's trip was malicious.
Zhou Rui's family urged: "Miss, change your clothes quickly, come with me, don't keep Concubine Nan'an waiting too long."
Tanchun asked: "Are you seeing me alone? Or are you seeing me and Fourth Sister? If you see me and Fourth Sister, I will find Fourth Sister to go there together." All the Fangs in the Rongguo Mansion were dispersed, leaving only Tanchun and Xichun Sister, she stayed in a corner with Mrs. Jia Zhengwang and others. Xichun only knew about chanting sutras and Buddha, and she hadn't seen her for quite a while.
Thinking of the situation in the mansion, Tanchun couldn't help sighing in his heart, maybe it won't last long.
Zhou Rui's family laughed and said, "How can the fourth girl be smarter than the third girl? So my wife sent me to let the girl go alone."
Tanchun had to go back to his room, change his clothes, and tidy up a little.
When Zhou Rui's family met, they were full of admiration, and said with a smile: "The third girl Zhenzhen is a rare and beautiful person. Needless to say, her appearance is unmatched by anyone. It's strange that Princess Nan'an misses the third girl." the benefits of."
Tanchun forced a smile, he knew that he would be remembered by the Nan'an concubine, but he would rather not have such benefits, when he left the house and passed by Baoyu and Baochai's outer study courtyard, it happened that Baochai came out, and Baochai was not an ordinary woman , got the news earlier, looked at Tanchun worriedly, and asked, "Where is the third sister going?"
Tanchun said in a low voice, "The Concubine Nan'an is here, and asked me to meet her in the past."
Baochai was startled when she heard the words, and said in surprise, "What is this for?"
Before he could say a word, he saw Baoyu rushing out. He was dazed at first, then grabbed Tanchun and shouted, "Third sister can't go. Who knows why Princess Nan'an came here for?"
Zhou Rui's family's complexion darkened, fearing that Concubine Nan'an would be anxious to wait, she stepped forward and said, "Second Master Bao, this is my wife's order, Second Master, don't stop the third girl from going, and carefully neglect Concubine Nan'an, my wife knows, I am annoyed Second Master's is not."
Baoyu glared at her and reprimanded, "You were the ones who instigated it. Otherwise, why would you ask Third Sister to come over?"
Zhou Rui's face blushed upon hearing this.
Tanchun got rid of Baoyu's hand and said with a wry smile: "Our family has reached such a point, so what can we do if we don't go? Second brother let go and let me go. Whether it is life or death, we must face it." In a word, Baoyu dripped Tears come.
Tanchun said goodbye to Baochai and Baoyu, and followed Zhou Rui's family to Rongxi Hall.
Concubine Nan'an was sitting at the top, dressed in brocade and luxurious attire, she was very richly dressed, but she couldn't hide her exhausted look. When she saw Tanchun approaching, she came down and pulled Tanchun by herself. With a look of satisfaction, he smiled at Mrs. Wang: "I just said hello to the third girl of your family. I haven't seen you for two or three years, and she has become more and more beautiful. With this appearance and style, even my two girls are far away." No, no wonder others say that good girls are in your house."
When Madam Wang heard this, she knew that Concubine Nan'an was very satisfied with Tanchun, so she said humbly: "The third girl is just like a pussy willow and as small as a firefly bean. .”
Concubine Nan'an pulled Tanchun to sit beside her, first comforted Tanchun's panic, then smiled and replied to Mrs. Wang, "Why can't she be? If she is not good, there is nothing better in the world. It's just that I got it for nothing." A daughter, don't be reluctant."
Hearing these words, Tanchun's heart felt like falling into an ice cave, his face was pale with shock, and he was very panicked.
Sister Feng saw Princess Nan'an pursing her lips and smiling, she didn't look like a Bodhisattva in the temple, but an evil ghost seeking her life. She couldn't help looking at Tanchun, with a trace of sympathy on her face, although Tanchun was very pitiful, As the adopted daughter of Concubine Nan'an, she has to marry far away, but she knows that she cannot interfere with Mrs. Wang's decision to explore the spring, and she also knows that it is a great joy to have a backer like Nan'an Palace at home. Both Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing were eager to see her there.
Mrs. Wang smiled without hesitation: "The concubine took a fancy to Sanyatou, it was Sanyatou's luck, she became a daughter to the concubine, and tomorrow she will be the princess. This is a blessing that no one else can ask for. I only have Those who are happy for Sanya, how can they be reluctant, I am afraid that Sanya is born shy, which will make the concubine worry too much."
After finishing speaking, he said to Tanchun: "Three girls, come here and kowtow to the concubine."
As soon as the words fell, a servant girl brought a brocade mat.
There was silence in the room for a while, everyone looked at Tanchun, happy, sighed, sad, and worried, and so on.
After Tanchun listened, she stood up dumbfoundedly, not knowing where her spirit was wandering, her heart was full of mixed emotions, she couldn't say anything, she suddenly raised her head, and looked at the expression of Concubine Nan'an who was determined to win, and Mrs. Wang's eagerly looking forward to it. Looking at these, she knew that today's matter could not be refused by herself, and she would never do so. Thinking of this, Tanchun could only walk down slowly, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Concubine Nan'an, and said: "Daughter to mother Please."
Grand Concubine Nan'an saw her, she beamed and said, "Good daughter, get up quickly, there is no need to be polite."
After Tanchun got up, a girl supported her and sat beside Concubine Nan'an.
Concubine Nan'an pulled Tanchun, with unspeakable joy on her face, she was generally more satisfied with Tanchun's knowledge, at this time she waved to the servants she brought, a girl went out and said, and then countless Maids and servants filed in, carrying many boxes and cages, and countless silk, satin, gold and jade antiques, which filled the hall, shining brightly.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
Seeing their stunned faces, Concubine Nan'an smiled slightly, and said to Mrs. Wang: "Since I recognize the third girl as my daughter, I will definitely not neglect her. Second wife, just rest assured, these are just a little thought for the family. Tomorrow Sanyatou has sealed the princess, and there is a dowry prepared by us when we leave the pavilion, when our prince returns, I will be grateful for Sanyatou's benefits in my heart, and I will thank you very much."
Hearing Concubine Nan'an clearly said to send him to marry, Tanchun felt ashamed and couldn't believe it, but Mrs. Wang felt relieved. With Concubine Nan'an's promise, her family had an extra backer, and hurriedly said: " How can you bother the concubine so much?"
Concubine Nan'an smiled and said: "It's not a waste of money, it's just my intention. Now that I have recognized Sanya, I will take her back home."
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she couldn't help but agree.
But Tanchun said: "Mother, I don't know if there will be a day to see you again this time. My mother told me to say goodbye to my sisters. The sisters have a good relationship. You have to meet and say goodbye."
After hearing this, Grand Concubine Nan'an couldn't help feeling pity, and said: "In this case, you can stay for a few more days."
Seeing that she agreed, Tanchun hurriedly got up to thank her.
Concubine Nan'an said to Mrs. Wang again: "Third girl, please stay in the mansion first, and there will be a good student in Lao's mansion to take care of her. In a few days, I will send someone to pick her up and return to the palace. Tomorrow, I will send someone to bring the princess's clothes."
Mrs. Wang promised not to mention it.
Concubine Nan'an gave Tanchun a few words, and left a few nuns and maids at her beck and call, before she left.
After seeing off Concubine Nan'an and returning, Tanchun burst into tears.
Seeing how pitiful she was, Sister Feng came over to comfort her and said, "Third Sister, think about it."
Although Tanchun had countless tears, she did not dare to cry in front of Mrs. Wang and the nuns left behind by Nan'an Palace. She held back her pain and said, "I'm fine, thank you sister-in-law for your persuasion."
Mrs. Wang sighed: "Third girl, this is your fate, your fate is good, there is good luck."
Tanchun stood up, bowed his head and said yes.
Mrs. Wang glanced at her, and said: "Go back to your room to rest, send someone to send a message, and pick up your old sisters over here. It's always a good time to say goodbye. I saw you earlier and said goodbye sooner. I know when Concubine Nan'an will send someone to pick you up. I will send your second sister-in-law to help you after this matter, so I will meet you before you leave."
When he got back to the east courtyard, Tanchun went back to his room first.
At that time, everyone in the whole family knew about it, and the servant couldn't help weeping bitterly: "My girl, why is your life so hard?"
Tanchun covered his face with a handkerchief, and wept bitterly at his desk.
Cui Mo watched from outside the door, and the servant Fang said: "What do you mean? If I had known today, I should have listened to Miss Lin and asked the old lady to make decisions for the girl to see someone else, so there would be no disaster today." They are Tanchun's personal maids, and they must follow Tanchun to get married, and they will stay away from their parents in their hometown.
Tanchun choked up and said, "What disaster? What difficulty? It's all my fate."
The servant said: "Why do you have to go and get married? Isn't there a princess in Nan'an Palace? Madam is so cruel?"
After hearing this, Tan Chun hurriedly came over to cover her mouth, then wiped his tears and said, "Silly girl, why don't you understand after you have been with me for so many years? What can my wife do? Suppressing people, we cannot tolerate our refusal, there must be some master's intentions in it, otherwise the wife will not agree."
The servant was taken aback, and said in a low voice: "It's fine, madam, after all, there is a layer of belly, but why is the master so cruel?"
Tanchun turned around, walked slowly to the window, looked at the ever-changing clouds in the sky, smiled wryly, and said in a low voice: "The mansion is getting worse every year. Since the separation, the estrangement between the two families has deepened. The family is living without food, and they only use money to support themselves. My uncle is dead, the Xue family is ruined, and our family is in decline. Even a mere Jiayu Village can slander us. It can be seen that it is not as good as before. This time I will replace Nan'an County My lord and relatives, our family has the backing of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion out of thin air."
I replaced Nan'an princess to marry far away, and when the Nan'an prince came back, the Nan'an palace would treat his parents differently. They don't have to endure the slaughter of the big house after Jia's mother passed away. lack.Tanchun understands that there is only an empty shelf left in his home, if he wants to last long, he has to do so.It's just that I don't know how much long-term wealth can be exchanged.
The waiter followed Tanchun for a long time, so he naturally understood what Tanchun meant, sobbing: "That can't be exchanged with a girl."
Tan Chun let out a long sigh, but instead comforted him: "Don't complain for me, who knows if this is a blessing or a curse for me? Even if there is no such thing as today, how can I escape what will happen in the future? I It’s a girl’s house, and parents are the ones who decide for life.”
Shi Shu naturally understood, otherwise Tanchun would not have flattered Mrs. Wang like that since he was a child, and was about to say more when he heard Cui Mo shouting outside: "Second Master Bao is here."
Tanchun hurriedly stopped the waiter's words, stood up to greet him, and said, "Second brother is not working hard at home, why are you here?"
As soon as Baoyu entered the door, he burst into tears, took Tanchun's hand, and sobbed: "Why is the third sister so miserable? Nan'an Concubine is not recognized by others, so why did she recognize the third sister? Defending the family and the country is the job of soldiers. How can I let the third younger sister, a weak woman, go to marry? Even if the third younger sister goes, how can I get a few more years of peace?"
Thinking of his future destiny, Tanchun couldn't help but burst into tears.
Baochai followed in, and after listening to Baoyu's words, she hurriedly said, "Second Master, you can't talk nonsense. Don't let the outside hear that our mansion is complaining about Nan'an Palace secretly."
Tanchun also persuaded: "Second sister-in-law is right, second elder brother should be more careful about what he says."
Baoyu said: "Am I wrong? The princess of their family is a treasure of gold and jewelry. Is our girl a piece of copper? It's not worth mentioning? Our family is also a family of scholars, a family of bells and tripods, Why is no one making decisions for the third sister?"
Tanchun turned his back and said in a low voice: "If the second elder brother and the second sister-in-law love me, they should post a message for me first, and ask the second elder sister, Lin, Qin, and sister Yun to come over. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for the rest of my life, so before leaving, the sisters meet, say a few words, or write a few words, and bring them there, just to think about it."
Baoyu and Baochai felt very sad when they heard this.
Tanchun wrote the post himself, and suddenly Jia Zheng called, and Tanchun hurried over.
Early the next morning, Baochai ordered people to send the posts to various places.
Daiyu was worried about the matter of her cousins and nephews' Chun Wei recently, and she didn't know about Nan'an Concubine's recognition of Tan Chun, so when she received the post, she still laughed and said: "Why did you think of sending a post to treat guests? Is it for three My sister's birthday? Don't worry, I haven't forgotten her birthday, and when the third day of March comes, I will definitely give you a generous gift."
Daiyu's birthday had just passed, so she naturally remembered that Qingming Festival was Tanchun's birthday.
The mother-in-law who came to report the letter couldn't help but said: "It's not for the treat, it's because the third girl has become the princess of the Nan'an Palace, and she will marry far away and become the princess of Fan Wang in person. The third girl is reluctant to part with the sisters and wants to see them .”
Daiyu's face turned pale with shock. The news that the Javanese country asked for a marriage in exchange for Nan'an County King spread widely, and she knew it, so she asked, "Why is it the third sister?" She remembered that Xueyan mentioned that Yu Liansheng had been there In Nan'an Palace, it was said that Emperor Changqian said that he and his princess must be born in Nan'an Palace. Unexpectedly, Nan'an Palace would dare to do this, stealing the beam and changing posts. Nan'an Concubine recognized Tanchun as a righteous daughter, and received them in their palace. It was from Nan'an Palace.
The mother-in-law sighed: "The Concubine Nan'an only has her eyes on the third girl, so the third girl wants to see her aunts."
After hearing this, Daiyu hurried back to Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou also sighed and allowed her to go.
The news that Grand Concubine Nan'an recognized Tan Chun as her adopted daughter has spread throughout the capital, and everyone laughed at Grand Concubine Nan'an's good intentions. Even Xueyan knew about it, and couldn't help but sigh, Rongguo Mansion has reached such a point, no wonder they are eager to find a backer, After all, leaning against a big tree is good for enjoying the shade.
Thinking of this, Xueyan couldn't help asking Yu Liansheng who was out of the palace to play: "Brother said it was the intention of the second master of the Jia family?"
Yu Liansheng was hugging Brother Qi to look at the flowers, and he sneered at the sound, and said, "That's not what the second master meant, and it was even more grandiose to talk to the third girl. If they don't want the third girl to marry far away, they just need to say I have already discussed marriage with the third girl, or made a marriage agreement, although it is just an excuse, but saying these is to evade, can it be said that Princess Nan'an is still bullying others?"
Xueyan hurriedly asked: "What did you say to the third girl?"
Yu Liansheng thought for a while, and said: "I heard that after Nan'an Taifei recognized the third girl, the second master called the third girl over that night, saying that she married far away to be loyal to the country, and exchanged her body as a woman for the king of Nan'an County. It is to save the people of one side, and so on, anyway, it is said that the three girls' marriage is a great righteousness, and for the sake of the great righteousness of the country, it is reasonable to let go of the small details."
Xueyan spat immediately when she heard the words. Although she knew Jia Zheng's true nature, she still couldn't believe it when she heard Yu Liansheng say these words.No need to inquire, she also knows the reason why the Rongguo Mansion is willing to take Tanchun to replace Nan'an Princess and get married. The man is not up to date, and doesn't want to think about how to revitalize the family business. He only knows how to rely on his daughter in exchange for wealth. The fragrance has disappeared and the jade has died, and now it is Tanchun's turn to win a long life for the family.
Yu Liansheng said, "That third girl is a pity."
Xueyan nodded and said: "Madam Lin has always thought that the sisters have a good future, but it is a pity that they are outsiders after all, so it is difficult to intervene, and the second wife does not like Madam Lin very much, Madam Lin is naturally not easy to catch up, I don't know what will happen now Why are you worried about Miss San?"
Yu Liansheng sneered and said, "Mrs. Lin is so considerate of her sisters, but how many of her sisters treat her sincerely?"
Xueyan pursed her lips and smiled, as Yu Liansheng said, none of the sisters had a deep relationship with Daiyu, and they treated Daiyu indifferently on weekdays, maybe it was because Daiyu was too much loved by Jia Mu, they The serious girl leaned back, but no one thought about it, they spent so much of Daiyu's family property, so it's okay for Jia Mu to feel a little pain.
Just thinking about it, the Jia family suddenly sent someone to deliver a post, saying that Tanchun invited Xueyan to come over for a while.
Xueyan was stunned, and said: "Just invite the sisters of Suri to go, why do you still have me?"
Yu Liansheng glanced at the post, and said indifferently: "Since I invited you, there must be a reason. Where is your current status, don't be too arrogant. You used to be. I have me at home. I look at Brother Qi." Son."
Xueyan heard this, so she had to dress up again, and then went by car. When she arrived at the east courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, Daiyu Yingchun, Xiangyun Baochai, Baoqin, and Sister Feng Li Wan were also present. When they saw Tanchun, they all surrounded her. Weeping sadly, except for Daiyu, everyone has not seen Xueyan for many days, and they all greeted her, Xueyan calmly dealt with it, and it was easy to get by.
Sister Feng said: "Third sister is gone, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to see each other again." Thinking of her father's death, she was not as good as before in the big room. Mrs. Wang, who was protected by her father, they were looking for a backer more than herself in the room. She immediately glanced at Daiyu gratefully. If it wasn't for Daiyu, how could she have given birth to Brother Kui? , Let Jia She and his son do it.
Sensing Sister Feng's gratitude, Daiyu raised her head and gave her a slight nod, then comforted Tanchun.
Tanchun had already cried several times, but now he stopped crying. He forced a smile and said, "Don't be sad for me. I have such a temper, and everyone says I have to be strong. I won't wrong myself no matter where I am. To get married, you have to make a career. I used to say that I only hate myself for not being a man, not being able to go out to make contributions, and being powerless to the family. Now I don’t have to complain. I have been looking forward to going out for a lifetime, and now I am finally out of the house. "
Baochai said: "Having said that, how can it be good to be away from home for thousands of miles? Zhaojun died in depression when he was out of the country, and Princess Wencheng stayed empty in the boudoir to chant scriptures and Buddha, which was not tolerated by Princess Chizun. how?"
Daiyu wiped her tears with a handkerchief beside her, feeling very sad. After hearing this, she said, "Second Sister-in-law Bao is very right. Let's not talk about the difference in customs and the language barrier. Besides, Xihai Yanzi is six or seven thousand miles away from Beijing." Here, the country of Java is an island in the sea, I heard that the people there are fierce and uneducated, what good can you do in the past?"
Baoqin sighed: "I went to Xihai Yanzi when I was eight years old, and I know it all too well, it's very messy."
Tanchun said: "No matter where it is, I'm going to make a decision."
When everyone heard this, their eyes were red.
Baochai suddenly said, "I don't know why Java is married? Does sister Lin know? If they are afraid of heaven and the third sister goes over, I'm afraid life will be easier. Let's also find some books from Xihai Yanzi for the third sister. Well, the third sister first learned the customs and language of Java, and the situation will be better when she arrives in Java. We can't make decisions for the third sister, but we should think more about the third sister."
Xueyan praised her in her heart, as expected of Baochai, she was so thoughtful, and when she looked up, she was really grateful to see Tanchun.
I only heard Daiyu say: "Xueyan and I have a lot of books from the West Coast, and there are also records of Java. I picked them up and brought them here. The third sister will accept them and look at them for now. As for Java The request, I have heard a few words, it is nothing more than two kings standing side by side, the eastern king is trying to overwhelm the western king, and the one who is asking to marry the princess is the eastern king, who wants to use our power."
Tanchun's eyes lit up, and he said, "Since you have something to ask for, you must not neglect me."
Baochai nodded and said, "That's right. It's better to know Dongwang's plan than to be arrogant. The third sister is gone. According to the third sister's mind, she will definitely do something."
But Daiyu sighed, not very happy, Songtsan Gampo admired Datang, begged the princess to get married, how could he treat him kindly?
After hearing Daiyu's words, Tanchun felt sad.
After a long time, Tanchun looked around at the crowd, ordered them to take out pens and paper, and asked them to write down their poems on weekdays. He choked up and said, "At any rate, leave me some thoughts. I'll take it there. I don't know the place where I live." , When I feel homesick, just look at our poems. I miss you, and I also look at our poems. If you stay in the capital, whether you write poems or enjoy flowers, I can’t be with you anymore. I'm going now, and I'll leave the house to you."
Xueyan frowned slightly, and Baochai asked, "What do you mean by sister?"
Tanchun looked at Baochai's poems written by the poetry club in the past, and said: "I said earlier, Junzi Zhize was killed in the fifth generation, the Zhen family copied it, and the Rong family disappeared. How can people like us Is it possible to be rich for a long time? In my opinion, there will be a day when the ice will disintegrate. I am gone, out of sight and out of mind, that’s fine, but you are staying, so you should think about how long the mansion can last.”
Baochai smiled and said, "How is it like what you said? I don't think so." Although the Rongguo Mansion is indeed getting worse day by day, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. After all, it is the mother's family, so there is always something Yu Yin, and now there is another matter of Tanchun, let alone worry.
Tanchun sneered, and said: "Sister-in-law doesn't believe it, let's just look at the sun. I'm gone, what should you do? Why don't you think of a way to retreat first, so that it's too late to regret it."
Daiyu and Xueyan looked at each other, they couldn't hide the admiration on their faces, if Tanchun was a man, maybe he could really turn the tide.
Xichun had been sitting by the side silently, now hearing Tanchun's words, she interjected, "Don't worry too much, the cycle of heaven and earth has its own retribution, and not everyone can see through it like you do."
Tanchun glanced at her and saw that she was dressed in plain clothes, holding a Buddhist bead in her hand, and kept moving the Buddhist bead when she was talking. How can you rest assured that you are like this? Even so, there are my parents, brothers and family in the mansion, and I am thousands of miles away, so I can't help but remember them. There are no eggs under the nest. If I am alone, I will bless you. For a while in the mansion, it can be regarded as my dedication to my ancestors and parents."
Xi Chun sneered and said: "You miss others, others may not miss you, why bother. But if there is someone who thinks of you and takes pity on you, you don't have to end up like this."
After hearing this, Tanchun was speechless.
Xueyan secretly applauded, Xichun's words were really heartening, but unfortunately, although everyone in Rongguo Mansion knew the truth, no one dared to say it.
Yingchun was originally a dull person who only knew how to shed tears but didn't speak. Xiangyun couldn't help but think of his life experience. He was a widow when he was young, and his husband's family had nothing to rely on. Separated one by one."
Tanchun said: "There is no feast that lasts forever, who and who can stay together forever?"
This sentence made everyone even more sad, and couldn't help crying.
Seeing the sound of sobbing all over the room, Xueyan hurriedly winked at Yuanyang, ordered hot water to be brought up with everyone, and tidied up their makeup with everyone, so as not to make people laugh when they went out.
For a while, Tanchun said, "I have a few words to entrust to Sister Lin and Xueyan, sisters, how about going to sit with sister-in-law?"
When everyone heard this, they were very puzzled, but they all obeyed because they thought that Tanchun would go.
When Li Wan went out, he looked back, then shook his head and sighed, leading everyone to pass by first.
Xueyan looked at Tanchun, not knowing what she had entrusted to Daiyu, but she came over, took Daiyu's hand, and said, "Sister Lin, I'm going. When the family is in trouble, please beg for help." Help a lot."
Daiyu was startled, and said, "How do you say that?"
Tanchun sighed, and said: "Except for the fourth younger sister, they don't believe in me. I looked at it coldly, and only my elder sister can do anything. Except for my elder sister, I don't know who to trust. Our family is now a centipede. It's not stiff, it looks decent on the outside, but the inside is already in dire straits, the people in this mansion are waiting for their lives, they don't know the reason why the building is going to collapse, they still only know their lives and dreams, Zhen Jiarong's family was ransacked and exterminated, how did our family escape? When Zhen Jiarong’s family ransacked the house, the trees fell and the monkeys scattered, and the walls fell and everyone pushed them away. It’s really a cold world, who can say that someone in our family could give charcoal in a timely manner at that time?”
Xueyan couldn't help but said: "So the third girl entrusted our girls to take care of all the future affairs of the mansion?" The Rongguo Mansion has done a lot of evil, even if it ransacked the family and wiped out the family, it was its own fault, and now she wanted Daiyu to take care of them after they ransacked the house of everything?Don't say that Daiyu is an outsider, even the daughter of the Jia family's direct relative who came out of the cabinet, she can't take care of everything.
Daiyu also frowned slightly and remained silent.
Tan Chun's face flushed, she also knew how the mansion had embezzled the Lin family's property, her words were really difficult for others.
Looking at Daiyu, Tanchun pleaded: "Sister Lin, I know that the family is sorry for my sister, and I also know that this matter is embarrassing, but I really can't worry about Mrs. and Mrs. If one day, as I said, please see that you are all relatives." I don’t need to worry about their wealth and wealth, just give them ample food and clothing.”
Seeing her begging, Daiyu couldn't help but sighed when she thought about her tragic fate, and said: "Don't worry, if I can do my best, I will definitely not stand by and watch, but you must also understand the truth of being beyond the reach of one's whip."
When Tanchun heard her answer, he was very happy immediately, and said: "Thank you sister, I am grateful to my sister even if I am thousands of miles away."
Daiyu said: "When the second sister and Yun girl came out of the cabinet, I gave 200 taels of gold as money for the box. Today I asked someone to bring it. The old lady left it for me. I will distribute it to the sisters. This is what you should do." Got it."
Tanchun was stunned, and then said: "Sister, keep it. If the family suffers in the future, it's better to use this money to take care of it than I take it away."
At this moment, I heard Aunt Zhao howling outside the window: "My girl, people don't care about you, and you still care about what other people do? Who cares about your kindness?" As she spoke, she walked in from the outside, crying bitterly, Embarrassed.
When Daiyu and Xueyan saw her coming in, they both stood up and said hello.
Only Tan Chunzi blushed and said, "What is Auntie doing here?"
Aunt Zhao cried loudly: "What am I here for? I'm here to see the girl. You are the meat crawling out of my intestines. I don't know if I can see you again after traveling thousands of miles. Why can't I come to see you? You If you become a princess and princess, so what? I don't want any princess or son-in-law, I just hope that you will stay at home and marry a small family, safe and sound."
Tanchun burst into tears immediately, and said: "The matter has come to this, what's the use of what Auntie said?"
After hearing this, Aunt Zhao became jealous and said, "I'll go to the master, I ask the master to make the decision for you, I beg the master, I will kowtow to the master's wife, and I beg the master to go to Nan'an Palace to push this matter, we will not Be a princess, not a princess!"
Seeing Aunt Zhao walking away, Tanchun grabbed her and said, "Aunt Zhao is not allowed to go!"
Aunt Zhao stood still, then slapped her legs and cried loudly, "I won't go, why don't I just watch you not come back?"
Daiyu and Xueyan felt sore when they saw Aunt Zhao crying so much. Although they used to think she was contemptible and of low character, but seeing her sincere love for Tanchun, she was by no means comparable to Mrs. Jia Zhengwang. Very moved.
Tanchun sneered, and said: "The master and wife are the masters of my affairs. I will listen to them as they decide. I am a cold-hearted person. I only recognize the master and wife. Now the concubine Nan'an has recognized me. Dust Settle down, my aunt is so noisy, let Nan'an Taifei and the old lady know what they think of me? If my aunt really went to make trouble, I might as well be killed cleanly. It's just that I'm clean when I die, and I don't have to stay away from my parents in my hometown. The house is not what I want, what good can Auntie do?"
Aunt Zhao's heart was pierced by a knife, and she cried: "At this moment, you are still thinking about the house, why don't you think about me and Huan'er? Without you, half of me will die, and the other half will be Huan'er, gone. Sister, what will Huaner do in the future?"
Tanchun burst into tears and kept silent, letting Aunt Zhao cry.
Daiyu felt sad when she heard this, and persuaded: "My aunt remembers that she is concerned about the third sister. It is for my aunt's benefit. It's just that my aunt made such a fuss. Fortunately, it's okay if I'm from my own family. I won't talk too much. If outsiders know, how about calling the third sister?" How to live? As the third younger sister said, the matter has been settled, and the third younger sister is also worried that there will be no protection, and Auntie and Huan'er will not have a place to live."
Aunt Zhao pulled Daiyu and cried: "Grandma Lin, you are the most knowledgeable, you say, this is a court matter, this is an outside matter, what do you want me to do as a third girl? Being bullied for no reason Being trampled by others, why don't we send people to beat them up, what a waste of money the Javanese country has been beaten, let's see what kind of princess they dare to ask for marriage!"
Daiyu smiled shyly and was speechless.
Xueyan couldn't bear to listen any longer, and turned her head to look out of the window. At some point, a little snow fell outside, making it very deserted.
Tanchun shouted: "My aunt, don't talk nonsense! Sister Lin, don't listen to my aunt's nonsense. If we can make up our minds, why are we doing this? I don't know what the master and wife will think of me when I make such a fuss. Serve the book, you Send Auntie back, don't confess your love to me again, and take care of it, don't make people talk nonsense."
The waiter agreed, and pulled Aunt Zhao out with red and swollen eyes.
Aunt Zhao refused, and when Tanchun met, she had to cover her face and cry: "No matter what Auntie makes trouble, it is irreparable, why bother making trouble again? This is the master's intention, and I went for righteousness."
Xueyan knew about this from Yu Liansheng, but Daiyu didn't. Hearing this, she was startled and said, "Uncle said?"
After listening to Tanchun, he regretted his slip of the tongue and forced a smile, "That's also reasonable. If the king of Nan'an came back, I would have made meritorious service for the country. Isn't it righteous for me to be so useful for a mere weak woman?"
Daiyu felt a chill in her heart, Tanchun missed Jia Zheng and his wife so much, but besides Aunt Zhao, who seriously missed her?
A few days after returning from Rongguo Mansion, Xueyan heard that Concubine Nan'an recognized Tanchun as her adopted daughter, and asked Emperor Changqian to confer the title of Princess Ninghe. The king of Nan'an County, so he was in a hurry to go on the road. All the dowry items were prepared by the Nan'an Prince's Mansion. It is said that everyone in the world is married to Tanchun.
When Xueyan found out, she sneered, and it was a good deal to exchange so many things for a son without having to give up her daughter, so she said to Julien: "The sage didn't say anything when he knew about it?"
Emperor Changqian never allowed his subordinates to obey others, and Princess Nan'an had already committed the crime of Emperor Changgan by doing so.
Yu Liansheng smiled faintly and said, "Just wait."
Xueyan was startled.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for Tanchun to set off. She had to go south by boat first, and then turn to the sea from Jiangkou. Daiyu and Jia's family all went to the ferry to see her off. Because of their different identities, Xueyan didn't go there and just looked out of the window. Continuous drizzle, sighed silently.
Daiyu glanced at Concubine Nan'an, then lowered her head and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, who would have thought that Concubine Nan'an would be so ruthless under her kindness.
Tanchun was dressed in princess make-up today, very gorgeous, a group of maids and court ladies surrounded her, stepped on the red carpet, kowtowed farewell to Concubine Nan'an, couldn't help but look at Suri's relatives and sisters, after watching for a long time, Fang endured the pain. With tears in her eyes, she turned around and left. Once she left, she would never come back for the rest of her life. I hope each of us will be safe after we are separated. Thinking of this, Tanchun turned to look at Daiyu.
Knowing what she was worried about, Daiyu nodded slightly with tears in her eyes.
Tanchun felt relieved and never looked back.
Daiyu watched her go farther and farther, got into the sedan chair, and then boarded the boat. From a distance, she could still see Tanchun standing on the bow of the boat.
Back home, Daiyu felt more and more bored. Mrs. Zhou asked Zhou Yan to come over and play with her when she knew that her sisters were separated, and finally relieved her depression. The next morning, she heard the news that it was Emperor Changgan The decree is for the daughter of the clan to be married. Among them, the princess of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion chooses the second son of General Yuehai Wu as the county horse, and orders Nan'an Palace to send the princess south to marry soon.
