The Fate of the Red Chamber

The Jia family is depressed and cautious because of Yingchun being dismissed from relatives, visiting spring and failing to be selected. There is only one person who is very happy, and that is Xue Baochai.

When I heard that Yingchun was reserved for the eldest son of the Xu family, Baochai looked down on him and was a little jealous.What I look down on is that Xu's family status is lower than that of Jia's, and he is just a bastard.People say that marrying a daughter is high, and marrying a daughter-in-law is low. Yingchun is considered a real low marriage.

It's a pity that even if it is such a family, I may not be able to marry. I am outstanding in everything, and none of the sisters of the Jia family can match it.

The third girl is the most hateful, the old lady thought she could marry into the palace, just look at how proud the third girl was some time ago, it seems that she is already the princess of the world, and she doesn't have the respect she had before.Now it's all right, let's see how proud you are, the eldest concubine of Nan'an Palace, even the side concubine can't look down on her.

After laughing for a while, thinking of my [-]th year of youth, I have not settled down in my life, and my heart feels lost.The mother only has her elder brother in her heart. Although she relies on herself every day, but at this age, her mother has never mentioned a marriage, so she really doesn't care about herself.

I will never give up my own mind, but Lin Mohan, he, does he have affection for him?With my appearance, such virtuousness and such talent, are there any men in the world who are not tempted?No, I can't sit and wait for Lin Mohan to propose marriage, I must find a way, and I can't just give up like this.

Daiyu listened carefully to Xueyan's detailed account of recent events in Jia's residence, her complexion gradually turned ugly, and she sighed long.

"Girl, Xueyan was wrong. Xueyan shouldn't bother the girl with such things. Second girl, her life is also bad." Xueyan thought that Daiyu was sad for Yingchun, and regretted that she had said the wrong thing. After all, it is the wife's natal family, the girl's grandmother's house, and the girl is kind-hearted, so she will not completely cut off her affection for Jia's family because of the previous incident.

"You're right. The second sister is a bit cowardly, and she doesn't like to stand out in everything, but at least she has never been mean-spirited. Why did she treat her like this?" She shook her head helplessly, with a wry smile on her lips. sad.

Xueyan took a careful look at Daiyu's complexion, and saw that she really hadn't changed much, so she was relieved a little: "Girl, everyone said that the second girl was implicated by the family. In fact, the master of the Xu family is not dissatisfied with the second girl, but It's because he doesn't want to marry the Jia family. This is also a rumor, I don't know if it's true or not."

Daiyu was stunned, secretly thinking about Xueyan's words, she didn't like the Jia family, could it be that the Jia family's reputation outside was really that bad?It's not that I don't know all about the Jia family's affairs, but I didn't expect it to be so unbearable.Old lady, old lady, you have calculated all your life that you will not let any of your children or grandchildren be spared, but you know that this will not save the Jia family at all.

"Forget it, if fate is like this, the second sister can only suffer. If the gods pity her, maybe they will give her a way out. I am a girl, so I can't control so much. Xueyan, if my brother asks you, You don't have to let him know that I know, just pretend you didn't say anything."

"Yes, girl. Miss is tired from sitting, why don't we go out for a walk, there are some flower buds in the peach blossom forest behind the uncle's yard." Xue Yan said with a smile, and turned around and took a pea green satin to sprinkle flowers The cloak hangs on Daiyu's shoulders.

Unexpectedly, it was only half a month, when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, one day after lunch, Xueyan rushed in excitedly, and whispered in Daiyu's ear, "Girl, the second girl's marriage has a plan."

Daiyu was stunned for a moment, before she understood the meaning of her words, she waved her hands and ordered Baihui to take the other girls out for lunch, leaving Xueyan alone to wait on her.

All the people retreated, and hurriedly grabbed Xue Yan's hand and asked: "You made it clear, what's going on, didn't you withdraw the marriage, did the family change their mind again?"

"Girl, it's not Xu's family, it's Sun's family." Xueyan just trotted over after inquiring about the news from the outer courtyard, wanting to redeem Daiyu's displeasure about this matter that day, and panted in response.

Seeing her like this, Daiyu felt a little funny, pushed her to sit on the carved chair in front of her, and raised her eyebrows to persuade her, "You should have a cup of tea first, so that you can calm down, what's the rush?"

Xueyan suddenly realized that she was impatient and forgot the usual rules, she smiled blushingly, and really poured two cups of tea, one for Daiyu, ate the other by herself, and said with a smile:

"Miss, the Xu family has indeed divorced. I heard that some time ago, the elder of the mansion went out to a restaurant to have a drink. He happened to meet the commander of Datong who went to Beijing to report on his duties. The surname is Sun. The two families are still family friends. People talk speculatively, the person surnamed Sun is generous in appearance and things, and he will flatter the Grand Master. The Grand Master was very happy with what he said, and immediately invited the person surnamed Sun to stay in Jia's mansion.

The person surnamed Sun was going to Beijing to find a good job, but he had no recommendation, so he naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity, so he really went to Jia's mansion. "

"From what you've said, the person surnamed Sun is speculative. Could it be that the second sister was assigned to him?" The more Daiyu heard it, the more she felt that the person surnamed Sun was not a good person. She was worried and couldn't help interrupting. Snow Goose's words.

"The servants really don't know what happened to that person, maybe the girl can ask the old man, but the second girl was indeed promised to that man by the old man."

Daiyu was right when she thought about it, Xueyan was like her, staying at home all day, how could she know if someone was good or bad, she probably just heard about it, so she put aside this point and continued to ask: "Tell me in detail, Why did the second sister promise it to him?"

Xueyan nodded, and after rationalizing her thoughts, said: "The man surnamed Sun lived in the outer courtyard of Jia's mansion. Somehow, he found out from the waiter that the old man had a daughter, so he wanted to ask for it. It was Ding Gui from the incident department who said it. At first I wondered how they knew about such a private matter. It turned out that Ding Gui had a distant cousin who worked in Jia's mansion. It seemed that he had disclosed this to the surname Sun’s, I told Ding Gui only after boasting for a while, so I guess it’s right.”

"Well, Ding Gui is cautious. He won't talk nonsense without evidence. You did a good job this time and asked the right person." Daiyu twisted the handkerchief in her hand, thinking about the little girl named Ding Gui in the mansion. Come on, she doesn't see many servants in the outer courtyard on weekdays, but she knows them all.

"The one surnamed Sun heard that the second girl is gentle and quiet. The main reason is that she is the only daughter of the Elder Master, so she directly proposed to the Elder Master to marry him, and the Elder Master agreed without saying a word." Xueyan winked playfully. Blinking, she looked a little disdainful towards the elder and the person surnamed Sun.

The intention of the person surnamed Sun is obvious, that is, he wants to cling to Jia's mansion through marriage and pave the way for him in the future.It doesn't matter, the key is his temperament, the second sister can't suffer anymore.Daiyu frowned and looked at the beauty ladle with plum blossoms on the high table, and murmured in a low voice: "Have you ever asked what kind of family the Sun family is, and who are there?"

"Ding Gui's distant cousin told him everything in order to play tricks. The Sun family is from Datong, and their ancestors were officials. They were military generals. They seem to be under the Duke Rong at that time. They have been serving as officials in Datong for generations. I don't have a chance to be transferred to Beijing, I'm afraid that the surnamed Sun intends to stay in Beijing this time. There are all parents in the family, and there seem to be a few concubines, and the surnamed Sun is almost thirty." Poured a cup of tea again, After eating, Xueyan finished speaking in one breath.

"What, at such an advanced age, how could there be no marriage?" Daiyu was startled and jumped up from her chair, looking at Xueyan in disbelief, her small mouth opened wide.

"Girl, I don't know about that either." Seeing Daiyu get up, Xueyan didn't dare to sit down, so she hurriedly stood up to serve Daiyu.

Daiyu walked around the room for a few times, wanting to ask her brother to inquire about it, but she was a little embarrassed, fearing that her brother would misunderstand that she still had affection for the Jia family, and if she didn't ask clearly, she would feel uncomfortable.Anyway, she lived with Yingchun for several years, so it is impossible not to care about it at all. It is only human to want to know Yingchun's future husband's family.

Xueyan guessed Daiyu's concerns, and persuaded with a smile: "The girl is also a fool, the uncle is the most considerate of the girl, don't you even understand such an idea. Even if the girl dislikes the stars in the sky are not round, the uncle will also put They become round."

"Xueyan, if you keep talking nonsense, I won't tear your mouth apart." With flushed cheeks, Daiyu made a gesture to pinch Xueyan, and the two chased each other in the room.

"What's so happy about it? Sister, slow down, and be careful not to trip." The voice was as clear as jade and as clear as water, reaching Daiyu's ear.

When Daiyu turned her head, Mo Han had already taken a step behind her, squeezed her rosy face from the exercise, and stopped Daiyu.

"Brother, didn't you help Xueyan?" Daiyu raised the corners of her mouth, her fan-like eyelashes blinking slyly.

Mo Han didn't like her, he half pulled and half hugged her to the inner kang, and jokingly smiled: "I'm not helping her, I'm loving you. What should I do if I'm sweating later, you're going to have a headache again? "

Xueyan was rescued, so naturally she would not be so stupid as to sway in front of Daiyu, laughing and went to the outside room, picking up needles and thread while guarding the door.

"Don't run away, I want to see if your mouth is round or square?" Daiyu was caught by Mo Han and couldn't move, she cursed bitterly, until the curtain stopped shaking, then she stared at Mo Han dissatisfied .

Mo Han touched his nose, pretended nothing happened, and said instead: "Sister, the second sister was betrothed by the Elder Master to the Datong Sun family." In fact, Mo Han had vaguely heard Daiyu's voice in the yard just now. The words of the master and the servant, in order to prevent her from worrying, took the initiative to tell her.

As expected, Daiyu's mind was diverted, and she looked worried: "I heard what Xueyan said. Brother, will that person bully Second Sister?"

"Fool, worrying about this and that all day long, how did you get fat? That Sun Shaozu is a martial artist, a little careless, and there are several concubines in his family. The family ordered a local lady for him more than ten years ago. I have never married a wife since then. Although he was a little reckless, he is not someone who waits for nonsense, the second sister is married by his official matchmaker, and she will always give her the dignity she deserves, so you can rest assured."

Mo Han said with certainty that it was not he who coaxed Daiyu, but the whole thing was planned by them, and it was written by him and Liu Xuan.

The two of them had an open and honest talk and reached a certain agreement.According to the analysis, almost all the princes of the Eight Great Kingdoms belong to the queen mother, especially the Jia family, otherwise the queen mother would not have promoted Yuan Chun and favored the Jia family so much.If you want to protect yourself, you must weaken the strength of the Queen Mother. The other people from the Queen Mother's faction have not offended them. Only the Jia family is extremely rampant, and the person in charge has no ability.

One of Jia's mother's favorite tricks is to marry, so they will start from here, making Jia's mother burnt out.The Xu family is secretly Liu Xuan's people, and they arranged all the marriage proposals and withdrawals, just to completely cut off the future Qingyun Road of the Jia family girl, and they also learned about the selection of the princess in the Nan'an palace in advance. Take advantage of this opportunity.

However, after all, the two of them are not such sinister villains, they are both upright men, and they will not sincerely make things difficult for a few girls, let alone Daiyu's cousins.So another person, Sun Shaozu, was arranged. The Sun family is under Princess Ning'an, so he will naturally be obedient.Furthermore, they arranged Sun Shaozu for another reason. With a warrior like Sun Shaozu's temper, it is rumored that he will treat Yingchun badly in the future, and it is reasonable to alienate Jia's family.Moreover, Sun Shaozu would still go back to Datong, and the contact with the Jia family would inevitably be less in the future, so he would not be easily implicated by the Jia family.

Daiyu believed Mo Han's words very much. She always believed what Mo Han said, and this time was no exception. She immediately relaxed and smiled: "Brother is right, but I worry too much. After all, I have never heard I've been with those bastards who bully my first wife. It's just the old man, the second sister is his own daughter, it's too careless for him to agree so easily."

When it came to the end, Daiyu's tone was somewhat unhappy.Mo Han didn't want to hit her, but he didn't admit to bullying her: "It's not the first time we've heard about the character of the Eldest Master. It's the old lady. This time, I'm afraid I can't wait to marry my second sister as soon as possible, so as not to cause further trouble. The other sisters in the house."

"Hey, I didn't see that the old lady would be such a person before. She often seemed to love her granddaughter very much and raised everyone by her side. Now I know that she just hopes that the sisters will be used by her in the future I don't know if she really loves her mother, or just like the second sister and the others." A bitter smile hangs on the corner of Daiyu's lips, and the slightly swaying bead flowers set off her sad little face with crystal clearness.

"In that case, will the third and fourth sisters not be affected?" Daiyu asked again.

How could things be so easy, soon it will be reported in the market that the Jia family owed the Sun family 5000 taels of silver, and the Jia family refused to return the money, so they sent the girl in the family to the Sun family.If the Jia family voluntarily withdraws their marriage, then their face will be completely lost; if the Jia family does not respond, the rumors that they sold their daughters will be confirmed.

Think about it, what reputation does a family that sells their daughters to pay off debts have? Who would want to marry their daughter.Of course, Tanchun Xichun wouldn't be unmarried, but she definitely couldn't be from a wealthy family, only an ordinary family.

However, Mo Han would not tell Daiyu these things, but only replied vaguely: "There will definitely be an influence, and no one can say for sure what will happen in the future."

When Daiyu heard this, she no longer cared about it. After all, she didn't care about the Jia family's affairs, but she could feel at ease with her confidence.

Because of the marriage of the Jia sisters, I couldn't help but think about my own life, and think about my brother's age, what kind of plan did I have in my heart.She is a boudoir girl, and she is too embarrassed to ask her brother's idea, so she can only stare at Mo Han blankly, muttering and saying nothing.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong?" Mo Han noticed that something was wrong with Daiyu, and caressed her cheek.

"It's okay." Daiyu quickly lowered her head, then secretly raised her head and glanced at Mo Han, muttering: "Brother, when will I... have a sister-in-law?"

Mo Han was surprised, he thought what Daiyu wanted to ask was about the Jia family, but he didn't expect it to be this, and he didn't know where to start to answer, what should he say?He still doesn't have the courage to express his feelings in front of Daiyu, but he doesn't want to wrong himself to marry someone he doesn't love, let alone marrying Daiyu to someone else.

Daiyu didn't wait for Mo Han's answer, gritted her teeth and raised her head, looking straight into Mo Han's eyes, afraid to see something she didn't want to accept, but she didn't know what answer she wanted from Mo Han?

But Mo Han suddenly felt guilty and tight in the chest, tilted his head and did not dare to look at Daiyu, he was afraid that he would let Daiyu see through him, afraid that he could not help expressing his deepest desire under Daiyu's gaze.

For a moment, Daiyu's chest felt congested, and her elder brother refused to look at her, whether her elder brother already had a sweetheart, she was embarrassed to tell herself, but she knew her elder brother's sweetheart.After the elder brother has a sister-in-law, will he only treat his sister-in-law well and not himself? According to the rules, the two of them should not meet too much.Then, will my brother marry me off? Is my relationship with my brother so shallow?

Her eyes were dim with tears, years of fear and helplessness welled up in her heart. It turned out that she was still alone in the end, and her brother would leave her after all.Daiyu was afraid that Mo Han would say something she didn't want to hear, so she got up crying, covered her face with a handkerchief, and ran out, staggering.

Mo Han was concentrating on contemplating his own explanation, when he suddenly heard Daiyu crying and running away, he immediately panicked and chased after him, and saw Daiyu running from the yard to the lake from afar.

Mo Han didn't care to think too much, and started to chase, the maids in the yard were stunned, not knowing whether they should follow or not, what to do if they didn't get into trouble with the girl, it would be an eyesore if they followed, so they had to catch up from a distance.

Hastily grabbed Daiyu's hand, and shouted anxiously: "Sister, sister, why are you unhappy to tell brother, don't scare brother like this?"

Daiyu shook off Mo Han's hand, and continued to walk forward, but the speed slowed down and changed to a fast walk.Sobbing: "Don't worry about me, let me be quiet."

"Sister." Mo Han really didn't know what kind of anger Daiyu was getting, after thinking about it, he couldn't understand, and he didn't dare to stop her forcefully, so he had to follow behind her,

As she walked, Daiyu strolled to the Xiaohan Hall where Baochai lived before, thinking of her elder brother and Baochai's eye contact when they were in Jia's mansion, her heart ached and she cried even more pitifully.

"Sister, please, don't cry. You are willing to beat and scold brother. You are not in good health and cannot stand such torment." In such a warm spring, Mo Han was so anxious that his head was sweating. I found myself so helpless in front of Daiyu.

"It doesn't matter if I'm healthy or not. Anyway, you're going to marry your sister-in-law. When you have a sister-in-law, you don't want me anymore. Why do you care about me?" Daiyu shook off Mo Han's hand again, and turned Turn around, unwilling to face Mo Han.

Mo Han was stunned for a long time when he heard this, only to realize that Daiyu was afraid that he would marry a wife, and he would not be able to treat her well in the future. His own, no matter what kind of care it is, he is satisfied.

Gently turned Daiyu's body, and gently hugged her into his arms. Why did this little person affect my mind so much, why did I want to do everything for her, and I didn't even have the courage to let her understand? own love for her.

"Sister, if you don't like it, my brother won't marry a wife, my brother will always be with my sister, and we will always be together, okay?"

Daiyu lay in a thick male embrace in a daze, serene and comfortable, feeling the masculine aura emanating from Mo Han's body, she was dizzy for a while, and the gentle bump on her shoulders made her unbearable.

Brother doesn't marry a wife?The elder brother is always with the younger sister?together forever?

In the chaos, this voice has been hovering in the center of my brain, attacking every soft place one by one, peeling off the bravery and strength that have been disguised for so many years, sweet and sad.My elder brother is the son of the Lin family, and I am the daughter of the Lin family, so I shoulder unshirkable responsibilities. If my elder brother does not marry his sister-in-law to make himself happy, will the Lin family be cut off by him?Moreover, some people already doubted her brother's intentions. If she didn't arrange for her to get married, it would be hard to avoid being mistaken for her brother abusing her.

"Brother, don't say that, I'm fine, I'm just feeling sorry for my second sister." In the end, Daiyu could only comfort Mo Han with this half-truth and half-false words.

The confession that was pressing heavily on Mo Han's chest and about to burst out was suddenly discouraged and cooled down. How could he be so impulsive?The younger sister is a pure ancient person, how can she accept such an unethical love, she has always sincerely regarded herself as an elder brother to love and respect her, once she speaks out, maybe even the brother-sister relationship will become a phantom.Just like that, Mo Han gave up again.

Gently patted Daiyu's thin back, buried her head in her blue hair, it's good to be able to do this, at least my sister is not wary of her, and the two still get close occasionally.

"Be good, don't cry. The second sister will take care of things. You will worry the maids like this. Even my brother is frightened by you. Let's go back and wash our faces, shall we?"

Mo Han finally persuaded Daiyu to turn her back, and returned to Wanyuan together, and the maids heaved a sigh of relief.

In Jia's house, everything went as Mo Han expected.

Not long after the Sun and Jia families got engaged, it was reported that the elder Jia owed Sun Shaozu 5000 taels of silver. The elder Jia refused to pay back the money, so he gave his daughter to Sun Shaozu.

Mother Jia didn't want to see Yingchun even more because of her resignation, and she didn't even ask for greetings.Later, when Mrs. Xing mentioned that the Elder Master decided the marriage, although she felt that there was something wrong with the Sun family, she didn't go into it, so she lifted her hand and let them go.It is better to get married than not to be married. As time goes by, everyone gradually forgets that Yingchun was withdrawn by the Xu family back then, and the influence of Sister Tanchun Xichun is much smaller.

But he didn't expect that it was the elder who sold his daughter, and it was not a justifiable marriage of his daughter at all.Mother Jia was so angry that she pouted at once. Unfilial children and grandchildren, when the people in the capital stared at them with ridicule, they didn't live up to their expectations and made such a thing as selling their parents and daughters.

After Wang Taiyi from the Imperial Hospital took several medicines, Jia's mother woke up, but her spirit was not as good as before, and she became old.Called the old man to the hospital bed and scolded him severely, forcing him to return the money and marry Yingchun.But what kind of person is the old man, he even spends the money in the frying pan, so he is willing to give away the money he has already got for the sake of his daughter who has never met him a few times.On the surface, he agreed to Jia Mu, but secretly he still went his own way, and didn't take Jia Mu's words to heart.

After Jiamu found out, she didn't take any further action except to be indifferent to the old man.

While giving Wang Xifeng a massage, Ping'er asked puzzledly: "Grandma, the old lady knows the old man's temper, why didn't she take out her own money and pay it back for the second girl."

Sister Feng was overwhelmed by family affairs, she was lazy, and she was taking care of the dowry for the Spring Festival these days, and she really didn't have anything to sell, so she was already angry.Hearing Ping'er's words, he couldn't help but sneered: "What do you know? The old lady would spend her own money for the second sister? Don't joke."

"Grandma, the old lady is not as good as the third girl to the second girl, but she is pretty good herself. Don't you care if the second girl lives or dies?" Ping'er looked at Sister Feng in surprise, and even stopped her hands.

"Hmph, I see it clearly. The old lady doesn't love anyone, and she treats anyone who is worth more. Think about it, the old lady treated Ms. Lin back then, not even her own granddaughter. But, There is a bit of sincerity here, and it is basically aimed at the Lin family and Uncle Lin.

The second sister's background, appearance, talent, learning, and quick-wittedness are nothing compared to that of Lin's sister, not even the third and fourth sisters, so the old lady is not very enthusiastic about the second sister.

This time, the old lady forced the old man to pay back the money. Do you think it's because of the marriage of the second younger sister to make life easier?It's not at all, it's for the Jia family's reputation, if the scandal of selling girls to pay off debts gets out, can our family get it right?What's more, there are three younger sisters and four younger sisters. The old lady expects them to marry a prince's mansion. If people know that our girls can be bought with money, who else can look up to our girls? Who is a good family? Are you willing to marry a girl from such a family background?

So, the old lady is for the Jia family.But she is unwilling to pay for it herself, and she can't ask the public to pay for it, otherwise my aunt is not easy to talk to.Everyone blames each other, and in the end, things just go away. Sister Feng was playing with the pink peach blossom bell on the table, skimming off the froth, not drinking.

The more Ping'er heard it, the more surprised she was. The old lady who always loved her granddaughter was actually such a person, it was terrible.

"What about her to grandma?"

Sister Feng smiled coldly, and the corners of her mouth were filled with sarcasm: "She just needs my housekeeper right now. When Baoyu marries a daughter-in-law, she will immediately let me go. Baoyu is her heart."

"So, the old lady is only sincere to Master Bao?" Ping'er said to himself.

Sister Feng thought to herself, "I'm afraid she is using Baoyu more than she is sincere."Baoyu was born with jade, and the old lady believed that he was a capable person. She hoped that the Jia family could prosper under Baoyu's hands, otherwise she wouldn't surpass so many grandchildren and treat Baoyu so well alone.
