The Eighteenth Century of Xuyang in the Red Chamber

Mrs. Xu has been tossing and turning sad and happy several times these days, and she feels a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, the old doctor Qin has recently become a frequent visitor to Lin's mansion. By the way, she showed it to her, but she is very similar to her younger brother Lin Ruhai. After thinking too much, I have lived a depressed life for many years, which hurt my foundation, but it is not a big deal to take care of it for a while from now on.After all, Mrs. Xu is already in her fifties, and she is considered an old man in this day and age. No one can guarantee that she will live another 50 years—even ten years is not a short life.

Fortunately, now that she has Xu Yang, Mrs. Xu is indeed much happier, although the son who fell from the sky is really naughty.But she had lost her son for many years, and although her real son would be fourteen years old even if he was alive, the son she remembered was still the child who could be held in her arms.Therefore, although Xu Yang has an out-of-the-ordinary personality and is used to being coquettish and lazy, unlike most teenagers of this age in this era, Mrs. Xu doesn't take it seriously, but thinks that he is a child, and he should be like this.

In fact, Xu Yang is already sixteen years old, but it must be known that the average age of future generations is already high, and the ancient age of 70 years old is less than the average life expectancy in later generations. At the age of 16 in today's world, if you get married early, you may be about to become a father!At that time, Xu Yang was still the eldest child in the family!There are still 7 years before the legal age of marriage, dear, not to mention that most young people in the city like to marry late. If there is no accident, he will have to study for at least four years. He is still a big kid who doesn't need to think too much.The appearance is born from the heart, plus Xu Yang is tender-skinned, has a baby face, and is erratic in his actions.So both Lin Ruhai and Mrs. Xu took it for granted that he should be about the same age as the other Xu Yang, that is, only thirteen or fourteen years old—it's just that this child is really well nourished and born so tall.Xu Yang was also happy to pretend to be tender. If he dared to say that he was sixteen, he would guarantee that Mrs. Xu would be able to invite a bunch of matchmakers to come to the door the next day.

Mrs. Xu dismissed Xu Yang as worthless in front of Lin Daiyu, but she couldn't tolerate anyone saying bad things about him.Among other things, Lin Ruhai said that Xu Yang's handwriting is very solid, but Mrs. Xu already thinks that Xu Yang's handwriting is much better than when Lin Ruhai was 15 years old.In fact, this is not entirely her preference.The most outstanding thing in Xu Yang's life is his writing. He has a clever mind, but his studies are not so top-notch.At the beginning, the city's second place in the college entrance examination was a bit of a good mentality and good luck, and it was largely because he spent more than half of his energy on writing.His handwriting is said to have the talent to choose one in case, but the most common writing is the Guange style that must be adopted in the imperial examination-although many literati think that the Guange style has no personality.But you have to admit that this font is indeed elegant and solemn, so it is necessary to use this font in the imperial examination.Especially in the hands of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy who is very naughty (well, this is not fair to Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Xu is like comparing 16-year-old Xu Yang with 14-year-old Lin Ruhai, and when comparing, she brought Glasses with severe chromatic aberration!).The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, but what does Mrs. Xu expect from Xu Yangneng?Mrs. Xu thought that he came from an overseas barbarian place, so it would be good to know how to read, but now she found that he wrote a good calligraphy, and it was in Guange style. , but he ordered Tanhua before he was thirty, so he didn't ask the kid if he had read the Four Books, and he just got happy on his own.

But Xu Yang is a real naughty ghost.Even in his own world, Xu Yang has never been an honest child.Not to mention this ghostly place where girls who are less than ten years old can get married, and girls who are less than ten years old have to pretend to be adults... He is so good that even a few girls who are a few years younger than him want to hug him. Head cry.

Don't think that the window jumping incident was accidental and sudden!He has done a lot of weird things!

First, when the girl was not around, he lifted up the smoker cage and threw Lixiang directly on the charcoal fire to burn it, saying that it was smoked quilt, smoked a quilt with smoke...

Two days later, I asked the girl to bring him lard soda noodles, and I took the girl into the house and burned and mixed it, making the room full of lard smell, but when I turned my head and washed my face, I howled again when I saw the fragrant soap. Get up: "I'm crazy, I've been using soap for several days, what kind of soap should I make..."

Not to mention his usual behaviors that everyone is used to: his health is a little better, he can get up, and he gets up every morning, shouting one, two, three, four, stretching his arms and legs, jumping and jumping for half an hour before he agrees. Washing face... Opening the window, suddenly: "Ah~~~~~" yelled, the little girl who was making medicine outside almost burned her hands in fright.When Lin Ruhai came over a few days ago, the two of them drove the girls out. The father and son chatted furtively for a while, and then they suddenly yelled together, which scared the girls so much that they hurriedly invited Aunt Meng over.As a result, when he asked, Xu Yang triumphantly said that shouting loudly can remove the depression in his chest and clear his mind. Uncle has already tried it, and Aunt Meng will also shout with us...

Aunt Meng told Mrs. Xu about this, and Mrs. Xu was also dumbfounded. My younger brother is in his forties, and it is not easy to teach him a lesson, so he had to go to Xu Yang to scold him, but Xu Yang made a fool of himself. It doesn't count if you don't scold me, and I almost got kidnapped by him, so I went to the window and yelled.

All these things, within a month, turned Mrs. Xu, who was careful with this cheap son, into a crazy housewife. How could she care about whether the child was her own?I can't talk about it, and it doesn't make sense. I can't talk about this son. I just chased and beat him with a duster.In fact, this was intentionally done by Xu Yang. After all, he didn't have much experience. He suddenly had a mother. He didn't know how to get along with him, and he didn't know why. He was mischievous on purpose, and Mrs. Xu, who offended him, wanted to beat him up every three days, one small and five days old... After such a fuss, he vaguely found the feeling of being mischievous and being chased and beaten by Xu's mother when he was a child. Mrs. Xu was free, and he brought Mrs. Xu closer.

Mrs. Xu was already in a good mood when she had her son to accompany her.At this moment, my niece also came back, she was a sweet and tender loli, she was dressed up beautifully, and she was polite, not to mention that she was the only daughter of her precious brother!It was only the third day since she came back, and Mrs. Xu took over the care of Lin Daiyu without saying a word.It is said that it is taking over, but in fact it is mainly about education. Naturally, Aunt Meng is in charge of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Mrs. Xu mainly teaches her reading etiquette, which only takes two hours a day.The more Mrs. Xu looked at her niece, the more she felt that she was really smart. She was afraid that she would be delayed, so she began to discuss with Lin Ruhai about the social affairs after letting her niece get rid of her clothes.I was busy all day, but I felt a lot younger.

Mrs. Xu's life here is getting happier day by day, but some people in Lin's mansion can't be happy anymore.That is Jia Lian from the Rongguo Mansion in the capital.

Jia Lian sent his cousin home all the way because Lin Ruhai sent a letter saying that he was sick.According to Mrs. Jia's thoughts, unless she is very ill, she will not send someone to pick up her daughter.Jia Lian is not stupid, so she can feel it, so she thought carefully before going out: If my uncle is fine, I can't stay for too long, I should urge Sister Lin to go home as soon as possible... If there is It's not a good idea, and he had to settle some things while his uncle was still there. He also thought about how to deal with some things in advance, and the old lady gave him a lot of special instructions before leaving the house.It's not that Jia Lian is cursing Lin Ruhai, it's just that people have misfortunes and fortunes, and if something happens, they must come prepared, right?

From Jia Lian's point of view, there are only two possibilities: if his uncle is not well, then he will bear the heavy responsibility for his uncle's affairs. After all, the Lin family has no close uncles and brothers. I have to deal with it; or God bless sister Lin so that she doesn't lose her mother and father just now, and when my uncle sees his cousin, he may recover from illness. Sister Lin is back home.

But he never thought that there was a third possibility.

Uncle Lin is indeed older than the previous years, but he seems to be in good health. When he saw his daughter, he burst into tears. What happened all of a sudden.Good daughter, dad really misses you to death... The father and daughter hugged each other and cried without saying a few words. Jia Lian was so embarrassed that he wanted to hit the wall: why do I look like a sinner who caused the separation of father and daughter?Looking at Lin Ruhai's appearance as if he was just recovering from a serious illness, and then seeing the crying mess of the two of them, he couldn't laugh or cry: Uncle really loves his daughter as much as his life, if it wasn't for being uneducated, my cousin would definitely live more comfortably in her own home.However, even if it seems that Lin Ruhai has nothing to do, and the father and daughter just met, how can they have the nerve to mention the matter?It's better to pack up and live down first.

Jia Lian thought it would be good to do so, and he would just go out to play in the mountains and rivers. Compared with the capital, Yangzhou Fantou has a different taste, and it would be good to go back after playing for two months!Unexpectedly, as soon as we sat down and exchanged greetings, my uncle said that because he was ill, his uncle's widowed sister came to take care of him. She lived by her side for a long time, and said that God bless her sister, and she found her long-lost son, who is now living in Lin's residence.

Jia Lian is just a bit of a playboy, but not stupid.Mrs. Lin came back to live, and specially coaxed the old lady to send her cousin back, obviously she didn't intend to let her go.Mrs. Lin is also a daughter of the Hou family, and she married the son of the Prince Shaoshi's family at that time. It is really nothing for her to raise a niece.

Jia Lian understood that such an arrangement was reasonable. Although he hadn't seen Lin Daiyu a few times, he still had some blood ties. He was not a cold-hearted person, so naturally he didn't want her to have a bad life.Just thinking about how to explain to the old grandmother after going back, my head is getting big.You can't just say "Old lady, your son-in-law is not sick, he is robbing your granddaughter from you, and won't send her back after cheating her..." He's out of his mind!Originally, it was the law of nature and human relations for a daughter to be filial by her father's side, so even if she knew what was going on, she couldn't say it outright.

Isn't uncle the same way?You can't just say "Mother-in-law, my sister has come to my house, and someone is taking care of my daughter. You don't need to take care of her. Send her back!"It's too stupid.So I can only say that I am not feeling well, and I asked my daughter to come back to have a look. It happened that my sister was worried about her, so she also came over.My sister and I are very empty under the knees. Now that we are all together, my sister can help me raise my daughter by the way, and save my elderly mother-in-law from working hard... Well, that's roughly how it is.Jia Lian was not stupid, as soon as he heard the situation, he thought of Lin Ruhai's words for him.

There is nothing wrong with saying that, but, as long as grandma is not blind, who wouldn't understand?Baoyu has thousands of good things, but he just thinks they are good.Taking his marriage seriously, if he can't marry Sister Lin, there will be no more desirable one.People always marry women with their heads up and women with their heads down, and my house just hangs a signboard of the Duke's Mansion, not to mention the second uncle of the fifth-rank official, even my father who is a prince, and now he is just an idle first-rank general.If it wasn't for a relative, how could the daughter of a third-rank official who holds real power dare to climb her?It's relatives, if there is no affection from childhood and hard work, unless Baoyu has some great promise, otherwise, look at Uncle Lin, how can he give his daughter to others casually!Now my cousin left Jia's house, and the old lady would not open her mouth to mention this marriage in the future.

Besides, the old lady loves Sister Lin very much, so she won't send it back when Kubala picks it up, can she not be sad?Really sad.
