Love of Friends in the Red Chamber

Besides, Mother Jia is old-fashioned, and she refused to accommodate Xiren, so she sent her out quickly. Xiren didn't even know any news, and was forced out of Jia's house overnight.But let her just accept her fate and marry, how easy is it?Early the next morning, she begged her brother and sister-in-law bitterly, and asked someone to send a message to Sheyue. She thought that her sons would be Mrs. Wang and Baochai. Let her fight for her own life, the only person who can save her is Baoyu.

But is Baoyu willing to save her?Even Xiren herself doesn't have this confidence, but this is her last straw.Sheyue used to get along best with Xiren, so she agreed to tell Baoyu that Xiren here refused to get on the sedan chair. She felt that she was different from Qingwen after all. I have visited her once, and as long as Baoyu is willing to come, she will have a glimmer of hope.When the sedan chairs to welcome the bride arrived outside, the drums and music burst out, Hua Zifang was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, walking back and forth sweating, and kept begging: "Grandma, I beg you, my son is still looking forward to someone Did you send you the chastity memorial archway?" Her sister-in-law understood women's minds, so she also persuaded: "Girl, don't count on Second Master Bao, if he still has feelings for you, he wouldn't have let you serve the old lady in the first place. It's already this time, don't embarrass the family..."

Xiren's heart is broken, but he can't let it go, can't let go, until the sun is three poles, the drum music outside is in chaos, and Musk Moon rushes over.When Xiren saw it, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly drove his brother and sister-in-law out, and asked Sheyue urgently, "What did Baoyu say?" Sheyue gave her a small bundle and said, "I told my second master and second grandmother yesterday, The second mistress even sighed a bit, and said that she would pack up the things you left in the room before you went to the old lady, and send them out to you together. The second master didn't speak at that time. Grandpa came over, sat by the bed and watched, then pulled out this old sweat towel from the box, and asked me to hand it to you in person today."

Xiren opened the bag, and saw a red sweat scarf like blood spots inside. Then he remembered that this was the year when Baoyu went out to drink and changed his sweat scarf with someone else's. He was not happy at the time, Baoyu then compensated herself with the red sweat scarf of unknown origin - after all, it belonged to a man outside, and he had never tied it once.How many needles and threads have I made for Baoyu, and how many tender objects have I had?Why did Baoyu think about such a sweat towel?

Holding the scarf, Xiren couldn't tell the difference between sorrow and joy, so he asked blankly, "Did Baoyu say anything else?" She Yue turned her head and said, "The second master said, let you do it yourself." She began to cry again, but she didn't know that Xiren had no more tears at this moment.Just like that, Xiren walked out of the room dazedly holding the sweat towel, her elder brother and sister-in-law hurriedly followed up and put on the hijab, and helped her into the sedan chair.Attackers are always at the mercy of others like puppets.Swaying in the sedan chair, she thought to herself: Daiyu is right, Baoyu is weak by nature, and when it comes time to face the reality, he is silent.

He went out of the city like this, and carried the sedan chair all the way to the Red Sandalwood Castle in the south of the city. The groom's family took it very seriously, and there were a lot of servants. The attackers were completely ignorant, until they entered the bridal chamber, crying and refused to submit. The groom Not annoying, not forcing, but very gentle and loving.Seeing Mr. Xiren holding a sweat towel in his hand, which looked familiar, he stretched out his hand to touch it, and let out a "huh" in his heart.

It turned out that the bridegroom was Jiang Yuhan. He studied opera since he was a child, and gradually became a famous actor, but he hated those nobles who did not treat themselves as human beings. He used his savings over the years to set up a property in Red Sandalwood Castle. He originally wanted to hide his name and make a living by farming and studying, but Prince Zhongshun looked for him all over the city, and even sent people to Jia's mansion to make a big fuss. Later, he was really removed from his home. Bound to the palace.Fortunately, Prince Zhongshun didn't make things difficult for him, as long as he was willing to sing and be a little fugitive, there was still a way to survive in the end.He didn't bear any grudge against Baoyu for betraying him, and later heard that Baoyu was beaten by his father for this, and he was very worried and apologetic, feeling that he had hurt him.

In the past two years, Prince Zhongshun had a new favorite, so he was gradually less restrained, as long as there was a church meeting, he could go to sing well, and the rest of the time was left to him.Jiang Yuhan then returned to Red Sandalwood Castle and gradually sorted out the appearance of a family. He was not young, and his family members persuaded him to marry a daughter-in-law so as to carry on the family.

However, the status of an actor is low, but Jiang Yuhan looks down on the daughter of a peddler's family. He thinks in his heart that he must marry a stunning woman to be worthy of him.He once heard that the maids in Jia's mansion are pampered and spoiled, and they are more dignified than the ladies of ordinary families. It happened that Jia's mansion started laying off people in order to reduce expenses, so he paid attention to it and asked the matchmaker to find out if there was any Jia. The maids who come out of the mansion are at least those who have served the young master and miss.The matchmaker went to take orders, and within two days she replied that there was a candidate who had served the old lady and Baoyu. He was handsome and the dowry was acceptable. Knowing that it can be done as soon as it is said, and a happy event will be held immediately.Jiang Yuhan only heard that she was Baoyu's maid, and she was overjoyed. She didn't ask why she was in such a hurry, so she hurriedly made the engagement ceremony and came to welcome her the next day.

At this time, when he saw this sweat towel, he showed Xiren the Songhua sweat towel that Baoyu had given him back then. Only then did Jiang Yuhan believe that the marriage was predestined, he was overjoyed, and became more tender and affectionate, Xiren had no choice but to accept his fate.

But it is said that the fact that Xiren was sent to marry was assigned by Jiamu. Mrs. Wang, Baochai and others have never heard of it, and they are all surprised when they know it.However, it would be inappropriate to pretend that nothing happened, so after two days, Mrs. Wang saw that Jia Mu was happy, so she asked casually, but Jia Mu told her that she felt sorry for the young man and couldn't bear her to let her go. After a while, knowing that it would be fruitless to discuss with her, he sent it out. She has served for more than ten years, so she should get a good result.Mrs. Wang was relieved, and only said that the old lady was doing things properly, and she didn't dare to say anything for Xi Ren.

After Baochai learned about this, she felt sad. After a while, she saw that she had entered the Layue Gate, and asked Sheyue to bring some things to see Xiren.Musk Moon went there for a day, came back sullen, and said to Baochai, "Xiren looks fine on the face, everyone in the family calls her grandma, and her food and clothing expenses are no different from ours today, but she is exposed everywhere. It's awkward. I also saw her son-in-law through the window, a big man, but dressed in red and green, walking flirtatiously, holding orchid fingers, talking for fear of scaring people...Look at..."

Baochai understood, and said: "He used to be a female singer, and he might be used to it. It's always like this on the stage, and he can't change it even after he plays. What did Xiren say?" Sheyue thought for a while. , said: "Sister Xiren didn't complain at all. She looked thinner and lacked energy. She only said that her son-in-law treated her well, but she always asked about our second master Bao..."

Baochai asked curiously: "What do you want to know about the second master?" She Yue said hesitantly, "Ask the second master what he likes to eat, what he likes to wear on weekdays, what he likes to do for entertainment... Then he learns at home..." Yinger, who was serving next to him, said He sneered and said, "Didn't you tell him, second master, is he most fond of reading Buddhist scriptures now?" She Yue said, "Why didn't you say? His family has now built a Buddhist hall, and it is said that he recites scriptures and meditates every day..."

Before Baochai had finished listening, she was already bored, so she said, "Go down and have a rest." She Yue bowed her head and retreated.Here Baochai sighed.However, she had a clear mind and knew that attacking people must have violated the old lady's taboo, and such an end is also her own fault.

But it was said that in the twelfth lunar month, the family began to be busy for the new year, and Jiamu was in good health, so Daiyu returned to Lin's residence as usual.On this day, the shopkeepers of the four shops in the capital came to calculate the general accounts for the year, and at the same time send the New Year's celebration, so Daiyu asked them to go outside the Nuan Pavilion of the Lin Mansion, and listened to them through the curtain.

These four shopkeepers were all employed by Aunt Lin's subordinates. After many years of inspection, they are the most diligent and honest.Aunt Lin's employment principle is that she would rather be stupid than loyal.Daiyu is very worry-free in managing, not to mention she is a smart person, although she has never managed a house before, the accounts are still clear, and she knows the tricks when talking and laughing.So even though Aunt Lin doesn't care about things now, Daiyu seems to be out of the world. After a few things, the shopkeepers found that she was no less subtle than Aunt Lin, but she didn't care about small profits. Just care about it.

Daiyu was drinking Chuanbei snow fungus and horseshoe soup in the Nuan Pavilion, flipping through the account book, looking at it and asking questions, and after only half an hour, she understood the account, so she ordered the delivered silver to be put into the warehouse, and rewarded several shopkeepers The annual rewards were given to the fellows as well, and several shopkeepers kowtowed to thank them, and went happily.

Here Daiyu is not very interested in the gold and jade jewelry and strange foreign goods from the silver building and the foreign goods store. After touching the fur color and thickness of the mink coat and ermine cloak, he called Qing Zhi and said, "Put this mink coat with a cover. If it is simple, as long as it is strong and dirt-resistant, it will be given to three people." Master sent him to spend the winter, he doesn't need to look good outside, don't show off, he just needs to be warm and light." Qingzhi smiled and agreed to go.

Zijuan saw that Daiyu had worked hard for half a day without showing any signs of fatigue, so she was very happy, thinking that the girl really took care of her body much better than before.Just as she was thinking about it, Xueyan ran up and said, "Sister, the eldest grandma of the Wei family is here." Zijuan wondered, "Which young lady Wei?" Said, our grandma didn't realize it, she was Miss Shi in the past." Zijuan knew that Daiyu had always been close to Xiangyun, so she hurried in and returned, and Daiyu said please hurry up.
