One of the Red Buildings: Three Thousand Miles

In the end, Hou Xuan was still planning to go to Beijing, but he would come to Beijing later.Because coincidentally, Hou Xuan's wife is going to Beijing soon, and whether Wei Yang will be in the future is another matter. At that time, Hou Xuan planned to follow the master and study for a while longer.Although Mrs. Shi was worried, but after all the child had grown up, she left a few more servants for Hou Xuan, and agreed to meet in the capital in the future.

Brother Cheap broke up after two days without contact, Xuanxuan didn't notice anything.She is not a very emotional person, or in other words, she does not pay too much attention to emotion and blood. In her opinion, the quality of a relationship should depend entirely on the mood of the contact between people, not other hard conditions.

The night before leaving, Jia Min struggled to remember to see off the Shi family, but was stopped by Mrs. Shi. Her physical condition was too worrying. Whether she could survive this spring and summer was a problem, so Mrs. Shi was not too much It's hard for Jia Min, he is about to die, no matter how big a mistake is, he can only pass it by, nothing is as precious as life.

However, within two days of boarding the ship, Mrs. Shi received a family letter from the servants of the Lin family in a hurry. Jia Min couldn't do it!

Mrs. Shi looked at the letter in her hand with tears all over her face. Tears dazzled her eyes and blurred her vision. She seemed to see the beautiful figure of the plum blossom under the plum blossom tree that year, and the nervous smile when she first saw it.Back then, Mrs. Shi was not yet married, and the Lin and Jia families discussed marriage. As the eldest sister, Mrs. Shi went to Beijing with her mother many times, and at that time she formed a deep friendship with Jia Min.Although they were estranged due to infrequent contact later on, Mrs. Shi firmly believed that she was to Jia Min as Jia Min was to her.

"Mother, don't be sad, take care of yourself. Auntie's illness may not be as stated in the letter. Maybe, maybe she's already recovering now, but the next letter to say goodbye has not yet arrived." Xuanxuan took out a handkerchief The son wiped the tears off his face for Mrs. Shi.

Mrs. Shi reached out to take the handkerchief, and said sadly, "You don't know. I insisted that your uncle and aunt got married. After your grandpa and grandpa left, we brothers and sisters were separated from each other. Jia Min has many problems, but I firmly believe that It's also because she loves your uncle deeply, now that she's not good, what about your uncle...and your underage sister!"

At such a time, Mrs. Shi is unwilling to say whether what Jia Min has done is right or wrong. The reality is in front of her, and she has to go back and deal with it!

"Master, I..." Mrs. Shi held back her grief, wiped away her tears, settled her mind, and turned to Master Shi.

Master Shi raised his hand to stop him, and said very understandingly, "Madam, please go back at ease, if you don't go through this, I think Madam will have trouble sleeping and eating, I understand for you."

Mrs. Shi stood up and thanked Master Shi, "Master Xie for understanding, originally we were going to the capital, and as the mistress of the house, I should put the inner house first, but Master also knows Ru Hai's temperament, I'm afraid..."

Mrs. Shi helped Mrs. Shi up, patted Mrs. Shi's hand, and said, "How many years of husband and wife have been together, these husbands are very understandable. But please make some arrangements before you leave, and don't let the whole family mess up when you arrive in the capital." .”

Mrs. Shi nodded immediately, "That's natural. I don't take too many people there, anyway, there is Hou Xuan over there. I will stay with Wang Momo and others, and there must be someone in charge." Mrs. Shi swept After looking at the aunts, "Aunt Liu takes care of Mo Xuan, and Aunt Ying takes care of Haoxuan Zhuxuan. The burdens on the two of you are not light, so I won't leave it to you to assist the housekeeper."

Aunt Liu opened her mouth to say it's okay, but was stopped by Mo Xuan quietly tugging on her sleeve behind her.Mrs. Shi continued, "How about this, Aunt Cui and Zhu'er, you two sit in town. Aunt Cui's body is weak, and Zhu'er will be more tired to help. As for Xuanxuan and Dexie..." Mrs. Shi hesitated , Dexie is better, after all, it is for the young master, when the adults are there, she doesn't believe anyone would dare to blatantly make things difficult for Dexie, but Xuanxuan...

"Father, I want to go with mother, I want to take care of mother." Xuanxuan stood up and leaned beside Mrs. Shi, "Father, my daughter is worried that mother will worry too much and be sad. My daughter is worried about mother."

It's a joke, if Mrs. Shi's big backer leaves like this, she won't be beaten to death by Aunt Cui and Mo Xuan. Even if she doesn't die, the relationship between her and Master Shi, which is rare and gradually getting better, is very likely because of some kind of It was bad for "human reasons", and besides, she was really worried about Mrs. Shi.

There are many and complicated things in the Lin family. When Jia Min left, Lin Ruhai must have wanted to die. Mrs. Shi passed by at this time. It is Mrs. Shi's mood and physical condition, and the second is the question of Lin Daiyu's fate.She is not a saint and cannot save everyone, but if she can make Mrs. Shi and Lin Daiyu feel better, then she is willing to try hard.Regardless of success or failure, she at least did it without regret.

If Mrs. Shi is Xuanxuan who is full of gratitude to her, then Lin Daiyu is the inexplicable Ailing who has always been indescribable.An innocent and naive girl with a talent comparable to heaven, but she was played by fate and lived a hard life.

Mrs. Shi was a little surprised by Xuanxuan's "initiative". In Mrs. Shi's impression, Xuanxuan was not a troublesome child, and sometimes she was the kind of person who would rather have fewer things to do and not hinder things at all. He proposed to go back with him. It seemed that he didn't hurt this child for nothing.Daughter doesn't care if she laughs and is sensible or not, she is still caring after all.

"Okay, I'll take Xuanxuan back, what do you think, master?" Mrs. Shi was very pleased.

I don't know Mrs. Shi is pleased, and Master Shi is also quite moved, always thinking that Xuan Xuan is a heartless and silly girl, and it seems that he owes his daughter to have such filial piety.Master Shi immediately agreed, and specially selected a few more people from the house slave guards to escort Mrs. Shi Shi Xuanxuan back to Weiyanglin Mansion.Mrs. Shi gladly accepted Master Shi's kindness, and after tidying up a bit, she hurried back to Weiyang with Xuanxuan.

On the way back, Mrs. Shi had been standing in front of the window looking at the calm water. She tried to persuade her a few times, but to no avail. In the end, Xuanxuan couldn't see it. The most important thing now is not to reminisce about the past, but to think about how to talk to uncle after you see him."

Xuanxuan can probably guess that Madam Shi wants Lin Ruhai not to be dizzy and enterprising because of Jia Min, but Lin Ruhai and his wife are deeply in love, and it is not something that can be understood in a few words. If this is the case, then he is not the kind It is Lin Ruhai who is righteous and admirable.

Madam Shi smiled wryly, "What do you know?"

Xuanxuan said, "Daughter doesn't know anything, but daughter knows, mother is in a bad mood, and mother doesn't think about food because of uncle's tea, and daughter also knows that aunt and mother have a grudge."

Mrs. Shi turned her head to look at Xuanxuan, put her hand on Xuanxuan's head naturally, and rubbed it lightly, "I didn't expect that our little girl has grown up, and she knows how to read her words, and she can think of so many things, no Simple."

Xuanxuan's face was hot, but she continued, "My daughter is just like my mother who hopes that my uncle can get through this. My daughter also only hopes that my mother can survive. My mother is always wise. How can I not understand my daughter's little thoughts? ?”

Mrs. Shi was silent, but the sadness between her brows was reduced a lot.

Riding the wind and waves all the way, when the boat stopped in Weiyang, it was already late, and the lights on the shore of the pier were brightly lit. The servants of Lin's mansion had been waiting for a long time. For the old mother, the old man of the Lin family, Lin Ruhai's nanny, Mother Jing.

Mrs. Shi did not wait for Mammy Jing to greet her, and said first, "How old is Mammy, how can you come out to pick me up. You can send anyone at will, I have to come here in person." Madam Shi respected Nanny Jing very much.

Mammy Jing didn't insist, and said, "Grandma is tired, hurry up and get on the carriage, the hot water waiting in the carriage, my aunt and miss will take some first, and eat some pastry cushions prepared by the old slave, and I will arrive at the mansion later. , I’m afraid I can’t eat for the time being.”

Mrs. Shi was startled, and hurriedly asked, "But the younger siblings are not in good health?"

Sister Jing sighed, helped Mrs. Shi into the carriage, Mrs. Shi took Xuanxuan into the carriage, and insisted that Mrs. Jing also come up, Mrs. Jing slightly declined and followed her into the carriage.

In the car, after the car door was closed, Mammy Jing gave a detailed account of the current situation of the Lin family without waiting for his wife to ask questions.It turned out that Jia Min was really in serious trouble, and Lin Ruhai's letter to Mrs. Shi was only written by Nanny Jing's repeated suggestions.According to Nanny Jing, Jia Min's body was almost overdrawn. When Shi's family came, he struggled to get up, but he didn't know whether it was because he was tired or because Lin Ruhai's mind was loose. In short, Shi's family left Afterwards, Jia Min and Lin Ru went to the customs to talk in detail all night, crying so much that it would be bad to come back again.

Madam Jing spoke vaguely but clearly, and Mrs. Shi was very disturbed when she heard it. "Then how is Ruhai now? What's the situation at home?"

Mammy Jing glanced at Xuanxuan, and saw that Mrs. Shi had no intention of avoiding suspicion, so she lowered her voice and continued, "I grew up watching my master, and my family has been kind to the Lin family. I can't see that the Lin family is extinct. This branch of the Lin family can’t just disappear like this, otherwise, how can I be worthy of the old lady in the spirit of heaven after my old body dies, the old man! Auntie, my wife’s natal nephew is at home now, so no one knows what the Jia family is planning. The elders of the Lin family clan also sent people over, this is a big deal. If the master has made up his mind at this time, this Lin family... this Lin family..." Mammy Jing said with red eyes, "Secretary fights in the inner house, right now. There are too many big families who can't accommodate concubines, but the children are related to the survival of the Lin family, how can the madam be so cruel! Even if it's not for the Lin family, even for the young lady, she can't still kill her now, and want to fight with the master Live and die together."

Xuanxuan heard some hints, it seemed that Nanny Jing hated Jia Min very much, and was deeply dissatisfied with Jia Min's clinging to Lin Ruhai so far.For the first time, Xuanxuan was full of worries about her future.In such a society where patriarchy is paramount and women have no status, can she bear the humiliation and follow the crowd like Mrs. Shi?Or swear to the death like Jia Min, get a "crime", now and ideal, who can prevail?
