Love of Friends in the Red Chamber

But Yingchun was sitting in the car, brushing the gold thread embedded in the wooden box with her fingers, and there was a strange and warm touch.She originally thought that she had fallen into the hands of Sun Shaozu and had no future, but just now Daiyu's words gave her a glimmer of life, and she felt that in this cold world, after all, there is still so much... A trace of warmth is reserved for her.

When it comes to Sun Shaozu, his temperament is so surly and irritable that it is unimaginable.If it is said that he abused Yingchun in the first place, it was because he was deceived by Jia Amnesty and was extorted of 5000 taels of silver for no reason. One branch of Ningguo Duke and Jia Zheng of the second house said that the big house of Rongguo Mansion was not hurt, and Jia Amnesty was honored by his son, and he was promoted two ranks in a row, becoming a second-class duke. The gentry is rarely decent.

But all of these can't change Sun Shaozu's disposition, nor can it change Yingchun's miserable situation. It's just that Sun Shaozu will save Yingchun some dignity on the face. , but if there is a disagreement, it is commonplace to kick them with their feet.But yesterday, Sun Shaozu was drunk from drinking, and it was already late at night when he came back. Yingchun brought water for washing his feet and was about to wait for him to take off his boots. There was color on his face, but Sun Shaozu was still puzzled. He cursed and ordered Yingchun to go to the princess's mansion to ask for the bonsai from last time, and then fell on his back on the bed, snoring loudly.

Yingchun didn't know that this was a big mistake, but she was really scared of being beaten, not only her, but all the maids and servants in the room were afraid of Sun Shaozu like a tiger, and seeing that Sun Shaozu was still sleeping like a tiger the next day, they all slapped him Let Yingchun quickly do the things that the uncle ordered, don't make the uncle unhappy when he wakes up, and the whole family will not be safe.That's why the tragedy happened when Yingchun went out with a wound on her face.

Daiyu's words at the farewell gave Yingchun a glimmer of hope. She suddenly thought that she was not alone in this world. In the past, because her own mother died young, her father didn't care for her at all, and Jiamu and Mrs. Wang didn't care too much. Loving herself is just a matter of face. She has already accepted her fate, and feels that sooner or later she will die under Sun Shaozu's despotic power. At this time, she realizes that she still has people she can rely on, and that is Jia Cong and Daiyu. It was someone with both ability and kindness who came to help him. What he had to do was to temporarily save his life and stabilize Sun Shaozu.She believed in Daiyu, she had known her since childhood, she was smarter than their sisters, and although she had always been withdrawn, she never lied to others, Yingchun gradually made up her mind.

Thinking about it this way, Yingchun, who is used to being submissive, became more considerate.Back at Sun's house, Yingchun first asked the servant who served Sun Shaozu to take the two boxes in for a look, then went back to the room and changed his clothes, washed the tears on his face, and covered the bruises on his face again with powder , I came to see Sun Shaozu.

Sun Shaozu was waiting for her angrily.It turned out that although Sun Shaozu was cruel by nature, he was not a scheming two hundred and five. On the contrary, when it was related to his official career, he was smarter than anyone else, and he was also very good at exploiting.Although he was greedy, he didn't have the guts to go to the princess's mansion. After all, the Lin family behind Daiyu had a first-rank prime minister, and he would never dare to offend him.Last night, it was because the white jade narcissus bonsai borrowed last time was taken by the boss and insisted on taking it. He felt that there was no way to return it, and he was a little irritable. He said some nonsense when he was drunk, and he didn't really want to call it back. Welcome the spring to fight the autumn wind.

So after waking up at noon, he heard the maid said that Yingchun had gone to the princess mansion to borrow bonsai, he became anxious, the wine turned into cold sweat, and he cursed himself for marrying a stupid woman, but he was also worried about Jia Cong Yizhi turned against him. Although he is not afraid of his brother-in-law Jia Cong now, but such a relative who has been favored and is on the rise is better than enmity, not to mention Lin Jiarui's influence spreads all over the government and the opposition.

He was waiting for Yingchun to come back, and then wanted to get mad again, but this time Yingchun didn't take advantage of the immediate loss, but first used something to occupy his eyes to calm his anger.Then Sun Shaozu saw that the two wooden boxes contained peerless treasures, how could he not be moved?Thinking that she was still useful as a wooden lady, she called Yingchun to interrogate her carefully.

Yingchun also knew a little bit about his temperament, so she refused to tell the truth, but said: "My sister, when I was at home, didn't pay much attention to money. She thought it was all common people's affairs. That silver money is more important than a feather, and sisterhood is more important than Mount Tai. I didn’t mention the matter of borrowing it today. I just said that the white jade narcissus bonsai was beautiful last time, and I wanted to keep it for two more days. She said she gave it to me, and brought me two pots without further ado, and said that if there is anything else she likes, just go and get it."

Sun Shaozu rubbed his chin and pondered for a long time before he sneered and said, "You really are a boudoir girl whose ten fingers don't touch Yang Chunshui. Doesn't this mean that you have wiped out the hard-earned family business of brother Cong?" Yingchun said with a smile: " There are comings and goings, although she has big hands, the Lin family is rich, she is the daughter of the Lin family, naturally Prime Minister Lin will not let the younger sister lack money. Besides, the younger sister is loved by the queen mother, and she is rewarded every time she enters the palace. Due to the old lady's filial piety, she can't go into the palace, and the empress dowager often misses it, saying that she thinks about it, so she sends people out to talk and reward things every now and then."

Sun Shaozu blinked and asked, "Does the Lin family know about your family's things?" How could Yingchun dare to say that Mrs. Dong was watching at Daiyu's place, and only vaguely said that Daiyu was at home alone, and the Lin family would not To care about these details, Sun Shaozu did not humiliate Yingchun again this time for the sake of the treasure.It's just that Yingchun knew that this person was born with a bad temperament, especially after drinking, it was even more violent, so she hoped that Daiyu would rescue her from trouble.

However, it was said that after Daiyu learned of Yingchun's tragic experience that day, she was so angry that she went back to Lin's house with Dong Yao that day. Let’s talk about the cause and effect again.When the female family members of the Lin family heard this, they were all very angry, and they all scolded Sun Shaozu for being nothing, but Lin Jiarui's reaction was much more rational.

Lin Jiarui listened to Daiyu's words, pondered for a while, and then said: "If you talk about Sun Shaozu, I know something about him. That year when the saint went to Xishou Iron Net Mountain, he encountered rebels who made trouble. Because of his meritorious service, he has been here since then. Developed. This man has only been promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of War not long ago, and he has already shown extraordinary talent. For military generals in the court, he is still reasonable and courteous. Listening to what my sister said, I can't imagine that he is a man who tortures his wife at home. villains."

After hearing Lin Jiarui's words, Daiyu wanted to protect Sun Shaozu, so she said, "I can understand what the elder brother said. This matter can only be blamed on the eldest master of the Jia family, who did not match the marriage of his children. My second sister originally She is the most weak and non-rigid, if she can be matched with a frail scholar who knows pain and heat, or can live in peace, but she is matched with a martial artist. Can't come out?" Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shed tears, so she bowed to Lin Jiarui and said, "Big brother, please save her, I have seen my former sisters disappearing one by one, and I have nothing to do. It's like a needle prick, and now seeing her in the fire pit, how can I refuse to save her?"

Seeing Daiyu begging for help in order to welcome the Spring Festival, Aunt Lin couldn't help being moved, she immediately said to Lin Jiarui: "This matter still needs to be done, how do you men know the suffering of women? You only look decent on the outside, but you put human nature in it." The most insidious and mean ones are all used by the women in the family. It is just a minor problem, not a major morality. For the women in the family, there is no way out."

Lin Jiarui saw that her mother and younger sister were like this, so she quickly said: "Sister, don't be sad, and mother, don't worry, I didn't say I don't want to care about the life and death of the young grandma of the Sun family, but the method still needs to be discussed. It won't be too much trouble - if you openly divorce Sun Shaozu, I'm afraid the life of the young mistress of the Sun family will be difficult."

Daiyu said: "Brother is very thoughtful, and this is what I worry about, so even though I know that my second sister has been suffering, I still hope that Sun Shaozu will change his temperament, but now it seems that he is raising a tiger. However, if it is true Divorced, the second sister still has nowhere to go—the Jia family will not take her in, my in-laws will only scold her for losing the face of the Jia family, although I can take her in, the name is not right, I am afraid she will not be able to bear it Gossip and indifference from others."

Lin Jiarui knew that Daiyu was a woman with ideas and a heart. Hearing her analysis clearly, she said, "I roughly guessed what my sister's idea is, but it's exactly what I thought. Well, I'll go to the memorial tomorrow and recommend it to you." Sun Shaozu took up the post of deputy governor of the Anxi Protectorate. Now the west is not peaceful. The imperial court will use soldiers sooner or later. This is the time to employ people. Sun Shaozu has shown me his intentions several times, and wants to seek service before the army so that he can win meritorious service. , because of his inexperience, I have been suppressing him, so I let him go out. For Sun Shaozu, it is his wish. For the young lady of the Sun family, he is safe when he leaves. And send troops to release horses The good and the bad are unpredictable, but if something happens, the young mistress of the Sun family is also a legitimate widow, so she won't be disturbed like this."

Daiyu listened to Lin Jiarui's eloquent talk, and solved a difficult and unsolvable matter in a few words. She was convinced, and then saluted again, and said with a smile: "Well, little sister thanked big brother first."
