[Red House] Harem Road in Spring

After dinner, Ding'er went to Daming Palace, Xichun and the others played with Suan'er, Yingchun took the opportunity to call Xichun to her side.

"I see that although you are smiling and talking, there seems to be worry in your eyes. Did you encounter something? Why don't you talk to Second Sister, no matter how bad it is, Second Sister can help you think of a way." Yingchun asked.

Sadness flashed across Xichun's eyes, "My father passed away, and my elder brother was addicted to alcohol and sex. If it wasn't for Xifu, I would have become an orphan that no one cares about."

Xichun is at the age when a female college student is about to marry, so she is already anxious, but her family is not up to the task. Uncle Jing passed away. Although Jia Zhen, the head of the family, does not dare to do anything foolish because someone is watching, she only cares about herself. Looking for fun, I almost forgot about my sister Xichun, Youshi is not the most important thing, and my sister-in-law Xichun is just showing affection, no, this is the time when Xichun is worried about her future, so she is worried.

"I heard Rong's daughter-in-law is not bad." Yingchun asked.

"Rong's daughter-in-law is a good one, and she treats me respectfully," Xichun said.

That's right, respectful, some things are different from one generation to the next, what Xichun desires now is that her elders can steer her on her future journey.

"Xichun, big brother Zhen has that kind of temperament. I heard that he sorted out the dowry of his aunt and said it was for you. It can be seen that he still has you as a sister in his heart. It's just that men's families are not as delicate as our women's. It's not that he doesn't take care of some things, it's just that he can't remember that he needs to take care of them." Yingchun tried her best to comfort her.

"Second sister doesn't have to speak for him. I live in the West Mansion, just a wall away from the East Mansion. I know some things clearly. It's just because I was raised by my ancestors and my sisters and sisters cared for me. I don't think about it. After the list of candidates came out, it was the elder who went to the East Mansion to find him, so he hurriedly sorted out mother's dowry, saying it was a dowry, who cares about her dowry!"

"I don't care about her dowry, but what about the dowry that Second Sister gave you?" Yingchun asked.

"Second sister?" Xichun looked at Yingchun with surprise on her face, and after thinking for a while, Xichun held back her shame and said, "Of course I hope that my second sister will add makeup to me."

"You don't have to be careful for me. I only have you four younger sisters. When the time comes, each of you will have a dowry to send you out of the court."

"No, Second Sister only needs to add makeup, otherwise the four of us will make Second Sister spend a lot of money." For a family like them, no matter how good they are inside, they have to live in face, and Buying a dowry that is decent compared to their family background, or four, the second sister is afraid that she will suffer a heavy loss.

In the backyard of an ordinary public servant's house, some things are difficult to do without money, let alone in the palace, so don't let the second sister be tied up in the palace because of her.

"You have to know, some things are hard to buy and I am willing." Yingchun said, the most important thing about spending money is to spend it happily.

A few years ago, she had just gone through the draft, and when she knew she was going to leave the mansion and enter the palace, she prepared four Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing for the four younger sisters. Due to limited financial resources, the Zhuangzi she prepared at that time was very small. Later, when she gradually got money, she thought that the four villages were too small and could be expanded.

Right now, when the four younger sisters leave the cabinet, it is also a kindness to prepare as much dowry as possible for them. Some people worry about the dowries of sister Lin and Yichun, but Xichun and Tanchun really need her to take care to prepare, so that the four It is also one of her wishes for her younger sister to marry gracefully.

"You just need to wait until you get out of the cabinet, and you don't have to worry about other things. By the way, the old lady told me to help you find a marriage. There is such a family. Let me tell you. You can see if there is one." Isn't it appropriate?" Yingchun said.

Seeing Xichun's face was flushed, Yingchun said in a low voice, "Don't dare to be shy at this time, or if you make a wrong choice, you can think about the consequences, whether the future life is what you want, whether it is comfortable or not, whether it is sweet or bitter Only you can experience it."

The customs are different from the customs. In this era, Yingchun dare not encourage girls to fall in love freely.

Although Xichun looked amiable, but she grew up with Sister Tanchunlin, she was decisive, and because of her marriage, her brothers could not be counted on, so she had to make up her own mind, she endured her embarrassment, and said in a firm tone , "Second sister, tell me, I'm listening!"

At this time, Yingchun didn't dare to do anything to embarrass Xichun, and said in a calm and serious tone, "There is such a family, who is a member of the royal family, the only son in the family, gentle, filial, and has a title. , their family style is also very good, the population of the family is simple, and his mother believes in Buddhism, so she is easy to get along with.

There are two older sisters, but these two older sisters are already married, and the women who have been with them all say that the two sisters are humble and easy to get along with.

Of course, there are also disadvantages. The disadvantage is that the family is small, and he has no brothers who can help each other except his sister and brother-in-law.

As for him, many people said that she had no enterprising spirit, she was only obsessed with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she didn't care much about common people, and she didn't even care about women's sex. She wholeheartedly wanted to find a like-minded wife to be with him Addicted to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. "

The more Xichun listened to what Yingchun said, the more she felt that this marriage was tailor-made for her, so she suppressed her shame to analyze it.

She has a gentle temperament, has a title on her body, and likes piano, chess, calligraphy and painting like her, and has a common hobby; the population of the family is simple, and the mother and married sister are both gentle, so she will not bully her brother who is unreliable; Moreover, unlike sister Tanchun, she is willing to go out to socialize with unknown wives for the sake of her husband's official career, so it is not difficult for her future husband not to mix up his official career.

"Where did the second sister find such a family?" The conditions of that family seemed to be prepared for her, and I don't know how much effort the second sister took to find such a family that suits her temperament. Her heart was full of emotion.

"The father of that person passed away had meritorious service to the emperor, and the emperor wanted to propose marriage to him. As soon as the emperor mentioned this family, I thought of you." Yingchun said.

To be remembered by the emperor is a bargaining chip, but in the blink of an eye, Xichun began to worry again, "How can you think of me and the Ningguo Mansion if you can be remembered by the emperor?"

"Sister Xichun is underestimating herself!" Tanchun interrupted suddenly.

"Sister Tanchun, you eavesdropped on my conversation with my second sister." Xichun was ashamed and angry.

"Shh, keep your voice down, if you bring those two over again, you'll be so ashamed that you won't be able to get out of bed." Tanchun threatened.

Sure enough, Xichun was terribly frightened, she immediately silenced, and she didn't dare to complain about Tanchun's eavesdropping, it would be embarrassing for her to ask about her own marriage, if more people knew about it, she would be ashamed Meet people.

Yingchun glanced at Tanchun, she was really a bad-hearted guy, those two were caring, how could she hide the movement from her side, knowing that they had something to talk about, those two not only didn't come, but even coaxed Xuan'er not to come, It's just Tanchun, and I can't help but want to come and have a look.

Tanchun said firmly, "Sister Xichun, usually locked up in the Rongguo Mansion, we don't know what other girls are like, so we dare not judge ourselves, but after entering the palace, we can say She is the most outstanding girl of the same age and in the whole Qin Dynasty, tell me, is there a beautiful girl who is better than our sisters in terms of character, appearance, and talent?"

Xichun hesitated, "This..." After thinking for a while, Xichun said, "Sister Tanchun, there are so many extraordinary women in the world, besides, our Ningguo Mansion..."

"Why don't you get the hang of it?" Tanchun said bitterly, "Sister Xichun, I never think that I am inferior to others, but I think you are worse than me in temperament and talent. Do you want to belittle yourself?"

"No." Xichun retorted.

"If you have a good opportunity, seize it tightly, so as not to miss it and regret it for the rest of your life. Sister Xichun, I also think this family is very good. The second sister treats you very well. I will keep such a good family for you." Tanchun whispered Winking and teasing Xichun.

"Sister Tanchun, I won't tell you any more." Xichun blushed in embarrassment and walked away. Just like that, she heard Tanchun jokingly say, "It seems that sister Xichun is very satisfied with this family."

Xichun's face turned even redder!

Seeing Xichun who suddenly appeared, Huaner asked in a childlike voice, "Aunt Xichun, your face is so red, are you sick?"

Daiyu and Yichun held hands and covered their mouths and laughed non-stop.

Here, looking at the three people and one child making a fuss, Tanchun said with a bit of sympathy, "The marriage between my sister Xichun and I will bother my second sister to worry about it!"

"You bastard, you don't come to inquire about your own marriage without shame, do you?" Yingchun joked bluntly, and let Tanchun walk out of the short-term sadness.

"Really, Second Sister, you are really good at predicting things!"

"You, learn more from Xichun to know what it means to be shy, otherwise people will probably suspect that you are a young master who disguised himself as a woman." Yingchun said.

"Second Sister, is that the case?" Tan Chun suddenly asked softly, Ying Chun looked up, and saw that Tan Chun, who had a normal complexion, now had a red face and shy eyes, just like a shy little girl.

Yingchun: ...

She just wanted to say, Tanchun, Oscar owes you a statuette!

Seeing Yingchun's frightened look, Tanchun's complexion returned to normal in an instant, and he was cheerful again, and said, "Second sister, don't worry, if there are outsiders around, I will take care of showing them the appearance of a shy and charming girl."

"Now I think your refreshing appearance is particularly pleasing to the eye." Yingchun said bluntly.

"Then I would like to thank the second sister for her praise!" Tanchun said with a look of honor.

"You! I'd better tell you who are selected for you!" Yingchun said.

"Okay, second sister, please tell me." Tanchun said without any shyness.
