Dai Yuxin says
Chapter 94
Tan Chunfeng is beautiful and married.
On that day, the eldest son Yujue cheerfully wore red and hung ribbons, rode a fat and strong bay red horse, and led a big red sedan chair to welcome his relatives.
When he came to the gate of Jia's mansion, many spectators saw that Shizi was so young and handsome, and they secretly praised Tanchun for being blessed.No one expected that a daughter from a concubine could climb into such a noble family and such a good husband-in-law!
Yu Jue was also very upbeat that day, apart from giggling cheerfully, she behaved very well.
It's just that there was a small flaw when Tanchun went out. When Tanchun was covered with a red hijab and Baoyu was carrying her into the sedan chair, Yujue saw it and stepped forward full of jealousy. Baoyu pushed his back and sat on the ground, unable to get up.He carried Tanchun onto the sedan chair, and laughed happily, "Let's go! Go home!"
His weird behavior made people laugh out loud, thinking that the elder son was not acting according to the routine, but it was harmless, they just thought the elder son was too happy.
In adversity, what people desire most is friendship.Even if there is only a little bit, you will feel warm and cherish it deeply in your heart.
Especially a kind and sensitive woman like Daiyu cherishes friendship even more.
On the night of Erbao's wedding, Daiyu is on the verge of death, and only Tanchun and Li Wan come to visit from Jia's house.Daiyu engraved their friendship in her heart and always wanted to repay it.
After Tanchun came out of the pavilion, Daiyu, who didn't want to step into Jia's house, stayed in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion for a night for her.
That night, Daiyu listened to Xiugu's quiet report, and Baozhu sent a message, saying that the matter of welcoming the spring has been done, and it will be fulfilled tomorrow morning.
The next day, when I was sending Tanchun out, I heard the sound of the happy cannon, and knew that the sedan chair had left.Daiyu came to bid farewell to Jia Mu and wanted to go back to Yuyuan.
On the way, they met Yingchun Xichun and Shi Xiangyun, and they came to Jiamu's room together.
Many female family members sat there and praised the old lady for being blessed to have such a good grandson-in-law.
Mother Jia laughed happily, and when she saw Daiyu coming in, she smiled happily and waved to Daiyu, asking her to sit beside her.
Xiangyun opened his hands like a bird, ran over from behind Daiyu, threw himself into Jiamu's arms and said coquettishly, "Old ancestor, you haven't sent someone to pick me up for so long, I miss you so much!"
Mother Jia put her arms around Xiangyun and smiled at the people: "My grand-niece and grand-niece are destined to be with me. They used to stay with me for more than half of the year, but now that they are grown up, they will be given to her husband's family, so she spends less time with me."
Xiangyun's body writhed in Jiamu's arms like a twisted candy. Jiamu held Xiangyun with one arm and waved to Daiyu with the other: "My sweetheart Rou'er, come to grandma quickly."
Daiyu smiled, moved to Jiamu's side with great reluctance, and sat down beside her.
People turned the topic to Daiyu again, and said, "The old lady is really blessed. All her granddaughters are as beautiful as flowers and jade. They all married into good families and became empresses and princesses. This granddaughter is even more like a fairy. Whoever is lucky will be able to go."
Someone else complimented: "With Miss Lin's looks and talent, if she enters the palace, she won't have to worry about being a concubine."
When Mrs. Wang heard this, her complex eyes surrounded Daiyu, looking at Daiyu's exquisite face, she had to admit in her heart that Daiyu was even more beautiful now that she had returned to her home.
The more she looked at it, the more bitter she felt in her heart, and she clenched her fists involuntarily.
Lin Daiyu is now like a flower bud that has just bloomed, and it is already full of beauty before it really blooms.If it's the time when the flowers are in full bloom, you don't know what Meicheng will look like. If she enters the palace, will there still be good days in Yuanchun?
She made up her mind that no matter what, she could not let Daiyu enter the palace.
The people outside the door reported that the Sun Mansion sent someone to say that there was an urgent matter at home and they wanted to go back immediately to pick up Yingchun, and the sedan chair was waiting outside.
Yingchun's face changed abruptly when he heard this, and he swayed a few times, as if he couldn't even stand still.
Zijuan and Xiuju hurriedly supported her, Daiyu took a deep look at her, and softly comforted her: "Second sister, it must be a good thing for the Sun family to send someone to pick you up."
Jia's mother also smiled and said: "Since the in-laws are urgent and send someone to pick them up, I won't be able to keep you longer. You should go back quickly."
Yingchun looked at her stepmother Mrs. Xing and her aunt Mrs. Wang sadly and anxiously, and they nodded indifferently and said: "Since the Sun family has urgent matters, you are the daughter-in-law of the Sun family, so you should go back as soon as possible. If we keep you In my mother’s house, we just don’t know the rules.”
Yingchun's face was pale, her teeth were clenched, and she solemnly said goodbye to Jia's mother, and then saluted all the elders and peers in the room.
After saying goodbye one by one, as if going to the execution ground, he raised his head and walked out with a tragic smile.
Seeing this, Daiyu took the opportunity to say goodbye to Jiamu: "Old lady, I have been here for two days and I want to go home."
Jia's mother held Daiyu's hand tightly, and said with tears in her eyes, "I'm not allowed to go there, just live with my grandmother. You don't know, I won't see you for a while, and I feel bad. I only have your mother and one daughter in my life. , your mother is my favorite daughter, and you are her only flesh and blood. How can I let you go out and live alone? I don’t feel at ease for a moment when you are outside. If something happens to you, call me later How do you see my Min'er? Don't talk about it again in the future."
In the past, Daiyu would not only believe what Jiamu said, but she would also be moved to tears.
But now it is different. Ever since Baoyu got married, Daiyu has seen these close relatives more and more clearly. She seemed to hear what Jia Mu said when she was in Baoyu's new house when she heard people say that she was about to die: "Baoyu is my mother." Grandson, Miss Lin is my granddaughter, there is no reason why she should take care of outsiders instead of her own family first."
It can be seen that this kind grandmother has always regarded herself as an outsider deep in her heart.
What's even more hateful is that the grandmother I love the most in my heart, seeing my father as an important official of the court, the Lin family is weak and rich, and she wants to match herself and Baoyu to get closer.With scheming and tricks, I took myself to Jia's mansion, let myself and Baoyu not avoid suspicion, raised me together by her side, ate and lived with Baoyu, made myself really think that I would be the daughter-in-law of Jia's family in the future, and was made fun of.
Their whole family bullied the weak little orphan girl, used up the money of the Lin family, turned their faces ruthlessly, and drove themselves to the brink of death, saying: "If Miss Lin had such a mind (meaning that she has a heart for Baoyu) , no matter how much money is spent, I will treat her illness, if it is because of this thought, no matter how much money is spent, it will not be able to cure her illness. Besides, I don't have the heart anymore. "
How cruelly that was said!She despises herself as an orphan with no money and power, and cruelly abandons herself, unwilling to care about her own life and death, and chooses the daughter of an imperial businessman with a wealthy family and a low status as her granddaughter-in-law.And pour the sewage on yourself.
Doesn't the old lady mean that she has an affair with Baoyu, is a girl without shame, and wants to let herself fend for herself?
Now, seeing that they have a home, they know that Yuyuan is worth a lot of money, so they changed their faces again, trying to use this false family relationship to tie themselves, and then plunder Yuyuan.When they have nothing left, they will still abandon themselves ruthlessly.
With this in mind, Daiyu broke away from Jiamu's embrace calmly, smiled lightly, and said decisively, "Although Liangyuan is good, it is not a place of long-term love. Yuyuan is the last shelter my father left for Daiyu. Daiyu still has to go home. Anyway, my house is not far from my grandmother’s house. When I’m free, I’ll come and visit your old man’s house.”
When Jia Mu heard this, her old face immediately fell down, and Mrs. Xing sat there with her head bowed and her lips pursed, snickering.
Mrs. Wang looked upright, and said the same old thing again. She said frankly, "You are not right, you were raised by the old lady. Over the years, your food and clothing have been spent on everything. They are better than our own girl, she is old, how can you just leave and let the old man worry about you day and night?"
The implication is, don't be too heartless!
Daiyu said with a cold face after hearing this: "I am the daughter of the Lin family, and there is no reason to live with relatives all the time. I have lived in my grandmother's house for all these years, and my food and clothing are pretty good. If the second aunt has any ideas, we can find time to call Come here, everyone, do the math, don’t be afraid of not knowing if you have an account. As the saying goes, brothers can still settle accounts, let alone we are only relatives.”
Mother Jia's heart skipped a beat, she thought of those terrible nightmares in the past, and remembered the second daughter-in-law's head shaving, and she lacked confidence.The old face changed faster than Sichuan opera, and immediately put on a kindly smiling face, and said kindly: "My sweetheart, my grandma loves you so much, she is reluctant to leave you."
Sister Feng Baochai hurried forward to have fun, trying to adjust the atmosphere.
The cold-faced and cold-hearted fourth girl, Xichun, smiled ignorant of current affairs at this time: "The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as our own grass nest, not to mention that Sister Lin's house is much more comfortable than ours."
Xiangyun blinked his big flexible eyes and asked, "You have all been to Sister Lin's house, but I haven't been. Sister Lin, when will you invite me to your house?"
Although Xiangyun has always been on good terms with Baochai, he deliberately rejects Daiyu, and often quarrels with Daiyu in public intentionally or unintentionally, making it hard to find fault.
But Daiyu always thought that her parents died when she was a baby, and she was begging for life with her uncle and aunt. Her uncle and aunt's family was in decline, and there were many brothers and sisters. Life was difficult, and she felt a kind of sympathy for her.Every time she came to Jia's mansion, he would take the initiative to invite her to live with him.
However, Shi Xiangyun, who is open-minded on the surface and philistine in his heart, doesn't pay attention to Daiyu's true feelings at all. Make friends with each other.
At this moment, Daiyu saw her looking expectantly, thinking that she was also an orphan without parents, she couldn't bear to neglect her, and smiled kindly: "You are my cousin, do you still want me to invite you to go? "
After finishing speaking, he saluted and said goodbye to Jia Mu, said hello to Mrs. Xing Wang and his contemporaries, and led Zijuan Xueyan and Xiu Gu out of Jia Mu's room without hesitation, leaving behind a stunned look, followed by blame.
Daiyu turned a deaf ear and left without looking back.
Frightened and doubtful, Yingchun got into the sedan chair of the Sun family.
Worrying all the way to the Yamen, Xiuju helped Yingchun get out of the sedan chair with a worried face.
Yingchun stood by the sedan chair, put her hands in front of her eyes, looked around, and after seeing the plaque on the yamen clearly, she faintly felt that Daiyu's plan had succeeded.
People are really at a critical moment, either they are scared to death, or they are not afraid of anything.
The cowardly and incompetent Yingchun in the eyes of Jia's people belongs to the latter.
Standing there, she carefully looked at the plaque on the yamen, feeling confident in her heart.She thought that as long as the Yamen allowed her to walk out of Sun's house openly, she would break away from the husband and wife relationship with the devil Sun Shaozu.From now on, I will eat bran and swallow vegetables, be a maid, be a coolie, and that will be a day like heaven.
Yingchun disregarded life and death, and walked firmly into the lobby of the yamen.
I saw my dowry maid and dowry were all placed in the lobby, and Sun Shaozu stood aside in disgrace.
When Sun Shaozu saw Yingchun coming in, he showed a smiling face that he had never seen before, and even stepped forward to flatter him: "You are here, I know you hate me and want to leave the Sun family. Today we will be divorced, and I will give you freedom." .These are the things and people that the Jia family gave you, and I will return them all to you, and also..."
Before he finished speaking, someone shouted: "Please come to the inner hall, Jia Yingchun." The caller glanced at Sun Shaozu, and said disdainfully: "You also come in."
The man led Yingchun into the inner hall, and politely called Yingchun to sit down, while Sun Shaozu stood beside him.
Not long after, the organizer came in with a government servant holding a document in both hands, with a business-like face, and after explaining the matter clearly, he asked Sun Shaozu to show the house deed, shop contract and 50 taels of bank notes.
Sun Shaozu, who looked fierce in Yingchun's eyes, was like a docile sick cat at this moment, obediently offering the contract and the bank note with both hands.
The organizer reviewed it carefully, handed the bank note and the store contract to Yingchun, and said solemnly: "Jia Yingchun, you can see clearly that this bank note, real estate store, and store is your lifelong alimony, and now Sun Shaozu has paid it off in one lump sum." If you have no objection, you can put your fingerprints on these two documents. From now on, you will have no relationship with the Sun family. From then on, you two can marry and marry independently, and life and death have nothing to do with each other."
Without hesitation, Yingchun stretched out her finger, and pressed hard on the printing ink, and pressed down hard on the document with the red official seal.
Seeing this, Sun Shaozu hurriedly stretched out his index finger, dipped it in ink, and pressed his fingerprint on the document impatiently.
The organizer glanced sideways at Sun Shaozu, with a hint of disdain on his lips.Then handed the two copies of the document to Yingchun and Sun Shaozu respectively, saying: "The matter is over, you go home."
Yingchun suddenly felt more at ease than ever before. She stretched out her hands to straighten her hair, straightened her clothes, walked out of the inner hall, and saw that in the hall of the yamen, except for her dowry maid, mother-in-law and things, all the Sun family members had left. The sedan chair he was on when he came here was also gone.
Seeing Yingchun standing in a daze, the people from the official yamen said, "Why don't you take these people and things home soon?"
Yingchun knew that when she came, she didn't have a penny in Yuxiuju's pocket, so now she can't hire a sedan chair to go back to Jia's mansion.
Her hands couldn't help pressing the bank notes and house deeds in her pocket. The moment she got the property, she made up her mind that it was obtained with the help of her cousin Lin Daiyu. It was her own blood, tears and humiliation. His property is also the foundation of his future life, he must guard it carefully, and must not be counted by anyone.
"Miss Jia, where are you going now? We'll send someone to see you off." The official of the yamen came out and asked Yingchun with a smile.
"I want to go back to Jia's mansion." Yingchun told the official of the yamen according to the plan Daiyu said.
In fact, Yingchun still has illusions and hopes for her relatives in her heart.
Jia's house, because of Daiyu's departure, the joyous atmosphere has been reduced a lot, especially Jia's mother, who is very unhappy.
Sister Feng managed to make the old lady laugh. The women were sitting there talking about Tanchun. When they were full of hope for Tanchun, they heard that the yamen officials had sent someone to bring Yingchun back, bringing dowry items and escorts to Sun’s house. The maidservant is waiting at the gate for someone from Jia's mansion to pick it up.
Everyone was baffled when they heard this, didn't the Sun Mansion say there was something urgent?Why did the government send someone to bring Yingchun back?
The sophisticated Mother Jia felt that something was wrong, and said solemnly, "Miss Feng, you are the sister-in-law of Ying Yatou, go and see what's going on?"
After a while, Sister Feng's face was extremely ugly. She came back in a hurry and told Jia's mother what happened.
When Jia Mu heard her hands and feet were cold, she burst into tears and said, "What crime did I do to suffer such shame and humiliation when I am old!"
Mrs. Xing is Yingchun's mother by name. At this moment, she can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb. She got up in fear and asked: "Old lady, Ying girl has been sent back, what do you think should be done?"
Mrs. Wang blushed and said extremely annoyed: "Miss Jia's mansion was sent back like this, she is called the empress of the palace, and what face does the third girl who just married into the Prince's mansion have?"
Jia She and Jia Zheng, including Jia Zhen, rushed over after hearing the news. The pedantic Jia Zheng looked at Jia She, and said to Jia's mother: "It seems that the niece Yingchun is honest and responsible. The Sun family is so unreasonable. You have to ask the Sun family for an explanation."
Jia Zhen often met with Sun Shaozu and knew Sun Shaozu's character well. He secretly thought that Sun Shaozu broke up with Yingchunyi in such a hurry and returned all the dowry. This is really not like Sun Shaozu's cruel and stingy nature. , there must be some unknown tricks in it.
He thought: If he had known that Sun Shaozu was separated from Yingchunyi in this way, he should have a good negotiation with Sun Shaozu, maybe he could get a lot of benefits.
Thinking of this, Jia Zhen couldn't help but shook her head and said regretfully: "Second sister is too confused, Yijue's divorce is a big matter, and she should come back and discuss it with her family before doing it."
Mrs. Xing said indignantly: "Not to mention that Ying girl is the daughter of the Hou family, she is just a small family, a beautiful and innocent girl, and she spent nearly a year with his surname Sun for nothing. Now say If you don’t want it, don’t want it, how can there be such a cheap thing? This is too disrespectful to our Jia family.”
Jia's mother knew that Yingchun was married to Yingchun because her father borrowed 5000 taels of silver. Now she wants to ask the Sun family what she wants?Shit does not lift does not smell.
She beat her chest and cried loudly, pointed at Jia She and cursed: "This is all a good thing you did! You are her father, so let you handle this matter! If you can't do it well, don't come back to see me."
Although Jia Amnesty was very annoyed, he couldn't go to Sun Shaozu to argue.Because Yingchun was originally married in repayment of debts, he naturally did not dare to go to the Sun family to argue.
Now hearing that Sun Shaozu and Yingchunyi were separated, the Sun family did not mention the money owed, and he was even secretly happy in his heart.I praised Sun Shaozu for being conscientious, and sent him back, not mentioning the 5000 taels of silver, and left him a little bit of face.
Jia's mother cried bitterly, saying that the married daughter, the water thrown out, a good girl, married to his grandson's family for less than a year, why is it not good?The Jia family cannot be so shameful.
The implication is that Jia's mansion wants to maintain its innocence and cannot take in Yingchun who was kicked out by her husband's family.
Jia's mother asked Jia Amnesty to take care of Yingchun.
At this moment, Jia Amnesty came to the gate angrily with the prestige of a father, without further ado, aimed at Yingchun's haggard face, and slapped hard on the face.He cursed loudly: "If you don't die, you still have the face to come here to embarrass yourself."
He beat Yingchun back several steps, if Xiuju hadn't rushed forward to support her, she would have fallen to the ground.
She stared at Jia She, without a single tear in her eyes, she just covered her red and swollen cheeks and shouted loudly: "I want to go in and see the old lady!"
Jia Amnesty stepped forward and kicked her hard, probably because the tip of his toe touched Yingchun's bone. He felt some pain in the tip of his toe, quickly retracted his foot, and cursed with his eyes straight: "Shameless thing! Let you throw it all away, and still say you want to see the old lady? Let me tell you the truth, a married woman is just poured water. No one here wants to see you, an unchaste and unclean woman. Get out of here How far away, we don’t have you in Jia’s mansion! Don’t let me see you again, or I’ll beat you to death!”
Jia She shouted at the top of his lungs, as if he, an honest gentleman, had been greatly humiliated, his brain was stimulated, and he was furious.
At this time, Yuanyang flashed out of the door with a purse in his hand, quietly pulled the embroidered orange aside, and said in a low voice: "This is the two taels of silver that I, Heping, have saved up. Take it and take the second girl quickly." Come on, the old lady will never see her again."
Although Yingchun was extremely sad, her mind was clear.
When she heard Yuanyang's words, the only family affection and hope left in her heart were completely shattered.
She sneered at Jia She and said: "You said this, please don't forget it in the future." After finishing speaking, she knelt down to Jia She and wanted to kowtow, but Jia She suddenly jumped aside as if seeing a poisonous snake , said coldly: "I dare not accept your head. From now on, I will break with you completely, and I will no longer be a father and daughter. Get out! Don't pollute my place in Jia's house."
Yingchun looked at Jia Amnesty desolately, then turned to Xiuju and said, "Let's go."
Jia She suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
A little light flashed in Yingchun's eyes, she thought that although Jia She was licentious and innocent, she and herself were father and daughter, blood was thicker than water.
Unexpectedly, Jia Amnesty took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Leave this thing! This is something from my Jia family, you can't take it away."
Yingchun seemed to have been shocked by an electric shock, and her mind was in a daze.
She stared fixedly at Jia She, and squeezed out a sentence through the gap between her teeth: "Okay, I don't want anything from Jia's house." She turned her head and said coldly to the dowry girl and woman: "If you are willing Stay, just stay."
Xiuju supported Yingchun, faced the furious Jia She, and said firmly: "I am the girl's dowry girl, and I also belong to the water poured out by Jia's house. I have made a decision with the girl in this life, and there is no reason to return to Jia's house." .”
A woman also stood beside Yingchun and said: "I used to be the maid of the girl's mother. My aunt left. I wanted to serve the girl, but I never had the chance. I didn't get the chance to serve the girl until she came out of the cabinet. I am a girl." I am the girl’s dowry wife, I will serve the girl wherever she goes, and I will never go back to Jia’s house even if I die.”
Through tears, Yingchun saw that it was Mrs. Zhou who spoke.
Mrs. Zhou used to work as a rough envoy in Jia Amnesty's kitchen, and rarely heard her speak.After going to the Sun's house, she was assigned to the Sun's mansion garden to speak foul words, and she was even more invisible.I didn't expect her to be so affectionate and righteous.
Yingchun couldn't help sighing: "Since Zhou's mother is not afraid of suffering and is willing to follow me, we will be a family from now on, sharing happiness and suffering together."
Yingchun's wet nurse stood there with extremely contradictory thoughts, thinking that the girl is a good girl with no temper, but now she is abandoned by her husband's family, and her natal family does not take her in. She is homeless and jobless, and it will be very difficult for her to remarry in the future.What good fruit will there be by following her?It's better to stay in Jia's mansion. Although I don't have a good life, I won't be frozen and starved to death.After a fierce ideological struggle, she hardened her heart and stood on Jia Amnesty's side, and said to Yingchun: "I am originally a slave of Jia's mansion. gone."
Jia She calculated in his mind: Yingchun is notorious now, it is impossible to marry a good man again, keeping her is another mouth to eat.Minions are different. They are tools for work and things that can be sold for money.
He stroked his beard and said, "Okay! Okay! When you go back to my Jia's mansion, I will definitely treat you well."
Yingchun's wet nurse, her daughter-in-law and other mother-in-law and daughter-in-law all stood by Jia Amnesty's side. Apart from Xiuju, the four dowry girls also kowtowed to Yingchun and walked over hesitantly.
Now, Yingchun only has Xiuju and Nanny Zhou by her side.
Jia Amnesty was still unwilling, saying that Xiuju and Mrs. Zhou were servants of Jia's mansion and they were not allowed to go with Yingchun.
Yingchun smiled angrily, thinking that when she came to Jia's mansion to see off her relatives, the Sun family asked her to still have all the jewelry she brought for the sake of appearance.
So, he took off the bracelet on his wrist, pulled out the hairpin on his head, put it on the palm of his hand, and said with a sneer to Jia She: "These two people are determined not to return to Jia's house. When I got married, they went with me. In fact , they no longer belong to Jia's mansion. Today, in order to get rid of your Jia mansion, these things should be enough to redeem them. Xiuju, give it to him."
Xiuju picked up the bracelet and hairpin from Yingchun's palm and said, "My lord, please accept it."
Jia Amnesty caught it naturally, without any embarrassment, and there was no embarrassment on his old face.
Yingchun, who was extremely sad, said extremely calmly: "Xiuju, please return the deed of prostitution between you and Zhou's mother."
When Xiuju took over the deed of sale between herself and Zhou's mother, and handed it to Yingchun, Yingchun didn't even look at it, and tore it into pieces, and threw it away with her hands, like a fluttering butterfly, with the wind.
On that day, the eldest son Yujue cheerfully wore red and hung ribbons, rode a fat and strong bay red horse, and led a big red sedan chair to welcome his relatives.
When he came to the gate of Jia's mansion, many spectators saw that Shizi was so young and handsome, and they secretly praised Tanchun for being blessed.No one expected that a daughter from a concubine could climb into such a noble family and such a good husband-in-law!
Yu Jue was also very upbeat that day, apart from giggling cheerfully, she behaved very well.
It's just that there was a small flaw when Tanchun went out. When Tanchun was covered with a red hijab and Baoyu was carrying her into the sedan chair, Yujue saw it and stepped forward full of jealousy. Baoyu pushed his back and sat on the ground, unable to get up.He carried Tanchun onto the sedan chair, and laughed happily, "Let's go! Go home!"
His weird behavior made people laugh out loud, thinking that the elder son was not acting according to the routine, but it was harmless, they just thought the elder son was too happy.
In adversity, what people desire most is friendship.Even if there is only a little bit, you will feel warm and cherish it deeply in your heart.
Especially a kind and sensitive woman like Daiyu cherishes friendship even more.
On the night of Erbao's wedding, Daiyu is on the verge of death, and only Tanchun and Li Wan come to visit from Jia's house.Daiyu engraved their friendship in her heart and always wanted to repay it.
After Tanchun came out of the pavilion, Daiyu, who didn't want to step into Jia's house, stayed in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion for a night for her.
That night, Daiyu listened to Xiugu's quiet report, and Baozhu sent a message, saying that the matter of welcoming the spring has been done, and it will be fulfilled tomorrow morning.
The next day, when I was sending Tanchun out, I heard the sound of the happy cannon, and knew that the sedan chair had left.Daiyu came to bid farewell to Jia Mu and wanted to go back to Yuyuan.
On the way, they met Yingchun Xichun and Shi Xiangyun, and they came to Jiamu's room together.
Many female family members sat there and praised the old lady for being blessed to have such a good grandson-in-law.
Mother Jia laughed happily, and when she saw Daiyu coming in, she smiled happily and waved to Daiyu, asking her to sit beside her.
Xiangyun opened his hands like a bird, ran over from behind Daiyu, threw himself into Jiamu's arms and said coquettishly, "Old ancestor, you haven't sent someone to pick me up for so long, I miss you so much!"
Mother Jia put her arms around Xiangyun and smiled at the people: "My grand-niece and grand-niece are destined to be with me. They used to stay with me for more than half of the year, but now that they are grown up, they will be given to her husband's family, so she spends less time with me."
Xiangyun's body writhed in Jiamu's arms like a twisted candy. Jiamu held Xiangyun with one arm and waved to Daiyu with the other: "My sweetheart Rou'er, come to grandma quickly."
Daiyu smiled, moved to Jiamu's side with great reluctance, and sat down beside her.
People turned the topic to Daiyu again, and said, "The old lady is really blessed. All her granddaughters are as beautiful as flowers and jade. They all married into good families and became empresses and princesses. This granddaughter is even more like a fairy. Whoever is lucky will be able to go."
Someone else complimented: "With Miss Lin's looks and talent, if she enters the palace, she won't have to worry about being a concubine."
When Mrs. Wang heard this, her complex eyes surrounded Daiyu, looking at Daiyu's exquisite face, she had to admit in her heart that Daiyu was even more beautiful now that she had returned to her home.
The more she looked at it, the more bitter she felt in her heart, and she clenched her fists involuntarily.
Lin Daiyu is now like a flower bud that has just bloomed, and it is already full of beauty before it really blooms.If it's the time when the flowers are in full bloom, you don't know what Meicheng will look like. If she enters the palace, will there still be good days in Yuanchun?
She made up her mind that no matter what, she could not let Daiyu enter the palace.
The people outside the door reported that the Sun Mansion sent someone to say that there was an urgent matter at home and they wanted to go back immediately to pick up Yingchun, and the sedan chair was waiting outside.
Yingchun's face changed abruptly when he heard this, and he swayed a few times, as if he couldn't even stand still.
Zijuan and Xiuju hurriedly supported her, Daiyu took a deep look at her, and softly comforted her: "Second sister, it must be a good thing for the Sun family to send someone to pick you up."
Jia's mother also smiled and said: "Since the in-laws are urgent and send someone to pick them up, I won't be able to keep you longer. You should go back quickly."
Yingchun looked at her stepmother Mrs. Xing and her aunt Mrs. Wang sadly and anxiously, and they nodded indifferently and said: "Since the Sun family has urgent matters, you are the daughter-in-law of the Sun family, so you should go back as soon as possible. If we keep you In my mother’s house, we just don’t know the rules.”
Yingchun's face was pale, her teeth were clenched, and she solemnly said goodbye to Jia's mother, and then saluted all the elders and peers in the room.
After saying goodbye one by one, as if going to the execution ground, he raised his head and walked out with a tragic smile.
Seeing this, Daiyu took the opportunity to say goodbye to Jiamu: "Old lady, I have been here for two days and I want to go home."
Jia's mother held Daiyu's hand tightly, and said with tears in her eyes, "I'm not allowed to go there, just live with my grandmother. You don't know, I won't see you for a while, and I feel bad. I only have your mother and one daughter in my life. , your mother is my favorite daughter, and you are her only flesh and blood. How can I let you go out and live alone? I don’t feel at ease for a moment when you are outside. If something happens to you, call me later How do you see my Min'er? Don't talk about it again in the future."
In the past, Daiyu would not only believe what Jiamu said, but she would also be moved to tears.
But now it is different. Ever since Baoyu got married, Daiyu has seen these close relatives more and more clearly. She seemed to hear what Jia Mu said when she was in Baoyu's new house when she heard people say that she was about to die: "Baoyu is my mother." Grandson, Miss Lin is my granddaughter, there is no reason why she should take care of outsiders instead of her own family first."
It can be seen that this kind grandmother has always regarded herself as an outsider deep in her heart.
What's even more hateful is that the grandmother I love the most in my heart, seeing my father as an important official of the court, the Lin family is weak and rich, and she wants to match herself and Baoyu to get closer.With scheming and tricks, I took myself to Jia's mansion, let myself and Baoyu not avoid suspicion, raised me together by her side, ate and lived with Baoyu, made myself really think that I would be the daughter-in-law of Jia's family in the future, and was made fun of.
Their whole family bullied the weak little orphan girl, used up the money of the Lin family, turned their faces ruthlessly, and drove themselves to the brink of death, saying: "If Miss Lin had such a mind (meaning that she has a heart for Baoyu) , no matter how much money is spent, I will treat her illness, if it is because of this thought, no matter how much money is spent, it will not be able to cure her illness. Besides, I don't have the heart anymore. "
How cruelly that was said!She despises herself as an orphan with no money and power, and cruelly abandons herself, unwilling to care about her own life and death, and chooses the daughter of an imperial businessman with a wealthy family and a low status as her granddaughter-in-law.And pour the sewage on yourself.
Doesn't the old lady mean that she has an affair with Baoyu, is a girl without shame, and wants to let herself fend for herself?
Now, seeing that they have a home, they know that Yuyuan is worth a lot of money, so they changed their faces again, trying to use this false family relationship to tie themselves, and then plunder Yuyuan.When they have nothing left, they will still abandon themselves ruthlessly.
With this in mind, Daiyu broke away from Jiamu's embrace calmly, smiled lightly, and said decisively, "Although Liangyuan is good, it is not a place of long-term love. Yuyuan is the last shelter my father left for Daiyu. Daiyu still has to go home. Anyway, my house is not far from my grandmother’s house. When I’m free, I’ll come and visit your old man’s house.”
When Jia Mu heard this, her old face immediately fell down, and Mrs. Xing sat there with her head bowed and her lips pursed, snickering.
Mrs. Wang looked upright, and said the same old thing again. She said frankly, "You are not right, you were raised by the old lady. Over the years, your food and clothing have been spent on everything. They are better than our own girl, she is old, how can you just leave and let the old man worry about you day and night?"
The implication is, don't be too heartless!
Daiyu said with a cold face after hearing this: "I am the daughter of the Lin family, and there is no reason to live with relatives all the time. I have lived in my grandmother's house for all these years, and my food and clothing are pretty good. If the second aunt has any ideas, we can find time to call Come here, everyone, do the math, don’t be afraid of not knowing if you have an account. As the saying goes, brothers can still settle accounts, let alone we are only relatives.”
Mother Jia's heart skipped a beat, she thought of those terrible nightmares in the past, and remembered the second daughter-in-law's head shaving, and she lacked confidence.The old face changed faster than Sichuan opera, and immediately put on a kindly smiling face, and said kindly: "My sweetheart, my grandma loves you so much, she is reluctant to leave you."
Sister Feng Baochai hurried forward to have fun, trying to adjust the atmosphere.
The cold-faced and cold-hearted fourth girl, Xichun, smiled ignorant of current affairs at this time: "The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as our own grass nest, not to mention that Sister Lin's house is much more comfortable than ours."
Xiangyun blinked his big flexible eyes and asked, "You have all been to Sister Lin's house, but I haven't been. Sister Lin, when will you invite me to your house?"
Although Xiangyun has always been on good terms with Baochai, he deliberately rejects Daiyu, and often quarrels with Daiyu in public intentionally or unintentionally, making it hard to find fault.
But Daiyu always thought that her parents died when she was a baby, and she was begging for life with her uncle and aunt. Her uncle and aunt's family was in decline, and there were many brothers and sisters. Life was difficult, and she felt a kind of sympathy for her.Every time she came to Jia's mansion, he would take the initiative to invite her to live with him.
However, Shi Xiangyun, who is open-minded on the surface and philistine in his heart, doesn't pay attention to Daiyu's true feelings at all. Make friends with each other.
At this moment, Daiyu saw her looking expectantly, thinking that she was also an orphan without parents, she couldn't bear to neglect her, and smiled kindly: "You are my cousin, do you still want me to invite you to go? "
After finishing speaking, he saluted and said goodbye to Jia Mu, said hello to Mrs. Xing Wang and his contemporaries, and led Zijuan Xueyan and Xiu Gu out of Jia Mu's room without hesitation, leaving behind a stunned look, followed by blame.
Daiyu turned a deaf ear and left without looking back.
Frightened and doubtful, Yingchun got into the sedan chair of the Sun family.
Worrying all the way to the Yamen, Xiuju helped Yingchun get out of the sedan chair with a worried face.
Yingchun stood by the sedan chair, put her hands in front of her eyes, looked around, and after seeing the plaque on the yamen clearly, she faintly felt that Daiyu's plan had succeeded.
People are really at a critical moment, either they are scared to death, or they are not afraid of anything.
The cowardly and incompetent Yingchun in the eyes of Jia's people belongs to the latter.
Standing there, she carefully looked at the plaque on the yamen, feeling confident in her heart.She thought that as long as the Yamen allowed her to walk out of Sun's house openly, she would break away from the husband and wife relationship with the devil Sun Shaozu.From now on, I will eat bran and swallow vegetables, be a maid, be a coolie, and that will be a day like heaven.
Yingchun disregarded life and death, and walked firmly into the lobby of the yamen.
I saw my dowry maid and dowry were all placed in the lobby, and Sun Shaozu stood aside in disgrace.
When Sun Shaozu saw Yingchun coming in, he showed a smiling face that he had never seen before, and even stepped forward to flatter him: "You are here, I know you hate me and want to leave the Sun family. Today we will be divorced, and I will give you freedom." .These are the things and people that the Jia family gave you, and I will return them all to you, and also..."
Before he finished speaking, someone shouted: "Please come to the inner hall, Jia Yingchun." The caller glanced at Sun Shaozu, and said disdainfully: "You also come in."
The man led Yingchun into the inner hall, and politely called Yingchun to sit down, while Sun Shaozu stood beside him.
Not long after, the organizer came in with a government servant holding a document in both hands, with a business-like face, and after explaining the matter clearly, he asked Sun Shaozu to show the house deed, shop contract and 50 taels of bank notes.
Sun Shaozu, who looked fierce in Yingchun's eyes, was like a docile sick cat at this moment, obediently offering the contract and the bank note with both hands.
The organizer reviewed it carefully, handed the bank note and the store contract to Yingchun, and said solemnly: "Jia Yingchun, you can see clearly that this bank note, real estate store, and store is your lifelong alimony, and now Sun Shaozu has paid it off in one lump sum." If you have no objection, you can put your fingerprints on these two documents. From now on, you will have no relationship with the Sun family. From then on, you two can marry and marry independently, and life and death have nothing to do with each other."
Without hesitation, Yingchun stretched out her finger, and pressed hard on the printing ink, and pressed down hard on the document with the red official seal.
Seeing this, Sun Shaozu hurriedly stretched out his index finger, dipped it in ink, and pressed his fingerprint on the document impatiently.
The organizer glanced sideways at Sun Shaozu, with a hint of disdain on his lips.Then handed the two copies of the document to Yingchun and Sun Shaozu respectively, saying: "The matter is over, you go home."
Yingchun suddenly felt more at ease than ever before. She stretched out her hands to straighten her hair, straightened her clothes, walked out of the inner hall, and saw that in the hall of the yamen, except for her dowry maid, mother-in-law and things, all the Sun family members had left. The sedan chair he was on when he came here was also gone.
Seeing Yingchun standing in a daze, the people from the official yamen said, "Why don't you take these people and things home soon?"
Yingchun knew that when she came, she didn't have a penny in Yuxiuju's pocket, so now she can't hire a sedan chair to go back to Jia's mansion.
Her hands couldn't help pressing the bank notes and house deeds in her pocket. The moment she got the property, she made up her mind that it was obtained with the help of her cousin Lin Daiyu. It was her own blood, tears and humiliation. His property is also the foundation of his future life, he must guard it carefully, and must not be counted by anyone.
"Miss Jia, where are you going now? We'll send someone to see you off." The official of the yamen came out and asked Yingchun with a smile.
"I want to go back to Jia's mansion." Yingchun told the official of the yamen according to the plan Daiyu said.
In fact, Yingchun still has illusions and hopes for her relatives in her heart.
Jia's house, because of Daiyu's departure, the joyous atmosphere has been reduced a lot, especially Jia's mother, who is very unhappy.
Sister Feng managed to make the old lady laugh. The women were sitting there talking about Tanchun. When they were full of hope for Tanchun, they heard that the yamen officials had sent someone to bring Yingchun back, bringing dowry items and escorts to Sun’s house. The maidservant is waiting at the gate for someone from Jia's mansion to pick it up.
Everyone was baffled when they heard this, didn't the Sun Mansion say there was something urgent?Why did the government send someone to bring Yingchun back?
The sophisticated Mother Jia felt that something was wrong, and said solemnly, "Miss Feng, you are the sister-in-law of Ying Yatou, go and see what's going on?"
After a while, Sister Feng's face was extremely ugly. She came back in a hurry and told Jia's mother what happened.
When Jia Mu heard her hands and feet were cold, she burst into tears and said, "What crime did I do to suffer such shame and humiliation when I am old!"
Mrs. Xing is Yingchun's mother by name. At this moment, she can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb. She got up in fear and asked: "Old lady, Ying girl has been sent back, what do you think should be done?"
Mrs. Wang blushed and said extremely annoyed: "Miss Jia's mansion was sent back like this, she is called the empress of the palace, and what face does the third girl who just married into the Prince's mansion have?"
Jia She and Jia Zheng, including Jia Zhen, rushed over after hearing the news. The pedantic Jia Zheng looked at Jia She, and said to Jia's mother: "It seems that the niece Yingchun is honest and responsible. The Sun family is so unreasonable. You have to ask the Sun family for an explanation."
Jia Zhen often met with Sun Shaozu and knew Sun Shaozu's character well. He secretly thought that Sun Shaozu broke up with Yingchunyi in such a hurry and returned all the dowry. This is really not like Sun Shaozu's cruel and stingy nature. , there must be some unknown tricks in it.
He thought: If he had known that Sun Shaozu was separated from Yingchunyi in this way, he should have a good negotiation with Sun Shaozu, maybe he could get a lot of benefits.
Thinking of this, Jia Zhen couldn't help but shook her head and said regretfully: "Second sister is too confused, Yijue's divorce is a big matter, and she should come back and discuss it with her family before doing it."
Mrs. Xing said indignantly: "Not to mention that Ying girl is the daughter of the Hou family, she is just a small family, a beautiful and innocent girl, and she spent nearly a year with his surname Sun for nothing. Now say If you don’t want it, don’t want it, how can there be such a cheap thing? This is too disrespectful to our Jia family.”
Jia's mother knew that Yingchun was married to Yingchun because her father borrowed 5000 taels of silver. Now she wants to ask the Sun family what she wants?Shit does not lift does not smell.
She beat her chest and cried loudly, pointed at Jia She and cursed: "This is all a good thing you did! You are her father, so let you handle this matter! If you can't do it well, don't come back to see me."
Although Jia Amnesty was very annoyed, he couldn't go to Sun Shaozu to argue.Because Yingchun was originally married in repayment of debts, he naturally did not dare to go to the Sun family to argue.
Now hearing that Sun Shaozu and Yingchunyi were separated, the Sun family did not mention the money owed, and he was even secretly happy in his heart.I praised Sun Shaozu for being conscientious, and sent him back, not mentioning the 5000 taels of silver, and left him a little bit of face.
Jia's mother cried bitterly, saying that the married daughter, the water thrown out, a good girl, married to his grandson's family for less than a year, why is it not good?The Jia family cannot be so shameful.
The implication is that Jia's mansion wants to maintain its innocence and cannot take in Yingchun who was kicked out by her husband's family.
Jia's mother asked Jia Amnesty to take care of Yingchun.
At this moment, Jia Amnesty came to the gate angrily with the prestige of a father, without further ado, aimed at Yingchun's haggard face, and slapped hard on the face.He cursed loudly: "If you don't die, you still have the face to come here to embarrass yourself."
He beat Yingchun back several steps, if Xiuju hadn't rushed forward to support her, she would have fallen to the ground.
She stared at Jia She, without a single tear in her eyes, she just covered her red and swollen cheeks and shouted loudly: "I want to go in and see the old lady!"
Jia Amnesty stepped forward and kicked her hard, probably because the tip of his toe touched Yingchun's bone. He felt some pain in the tip of his toe, quickly retracted his foot, and cursed with his eyes straight: "Shameless thing! Let you throw it all away, and still say you want to see the old lady? Let me tell you the truth, a married woman is just poured water. No one here wants to see you, an unchaste and unclean woman. Get out of here How far away, we don’t have you in Jia’s mansion! Don’t let me see you again, or I’ll beat you to death!”
Jia She shouted at the top of his lungs, as if he, an honest gentleman, had been greatly humiliated, his brain was stimulated, and he was furious.
At this time, Yuanyang flashed out of the door with a purse in his hand, quietly pulled the embroidered orange aside, and said in a low voice: "This is the two taels of silver that I, Heping, have saved up. Take it and take the second girl quickly." Come on, the old lady will never see her again."
Although Yingchun was extremely sad, her mind was clear.
When she heard Yuanyang's words, the only family affection and hope left in her heart were completely shattered.
She sneered at Jia She and said: "You said this, please don't forget it in the future." After finishing speaking, she knelt down to Jia She and wanted to kowtow, but Jia She suddenly jumped aside as if seeing a poisonous snake , said coldly: "I dare not accept your head. From now on, I will break with you completely, and I will no longer be a father and daughter. Get out! Don't pollute my place in Jia's house."
Yingchun looked at Jia Amnesty desolately, then turned to Xiuju and said, "Let's go."
Jia She suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
A little light flashed in Yingchun's eyes, she thought that although Jia She was licentious and innocent, she and herself were father and daughter, blood was thicker than water.
Unexpectedly, Jia Amnesty took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Leave this thing! This is something from my Jia family, you can't take it away."
Yingchun seemed to have been shocked by an electric shock, and her mind was in a daze.
She stared fixedly at Jia She, and squeezed out a sentence through the gap between her teeth: "Okay, I don't want anything from Jia's house." She turned her head and said coldly to the dowry girl and woman: "If you are willing Stay, just stay."
Xiuju supported Yingchun, faced the furious Jia She, and said firmly: "I am the girl's dowry girl, and I also belong to the water poured out by Jia's house. I have made a decision with the girl in this life, and there is no reason to return to Jia's house." .”
A woman also stood beside Yingchun and said: "I used to be the maid of the girl's mother. My aunt left. I wanted to serve the girl, but I never had the chance. I didn't get the chance to serve the girl until she came out of the cabinet. I am a girl." I am the girl’s dowry wife, I will serve the girl wherever she goes, and I will never go back to Jia’s house even if I die.”
Through tears, Yingchun saw that it was Mrs. Zhou who spoke.
Mrs. Zhou used to work as a rough envoy in Jia Amnesty's kitchen, and rarely heard her speak.After going to the Sun's house, she was assigned to the Sun's mansion garden to speak foul words, and she was even more invisible.I didn't expect her to be so affectionate and righteous.
Yingchun couldn't help sighing: "Since Zhou's mother is not afraid of suffering and is willing to follow me, we will be a family from now on, sharing happiness and suffering together."
Yingchun's wet nurse stood there with extremely contradictory thoughts, thinking that the girl is a good girl with no temper, but now she is abandoned by her husband's family, and her natal family does not take her in. She is homeless and jobless, and it will be very difficult for her to remarry in the future.What good fruit will there be by following her?It's better to stay in Jia's mansion. Although I don't have a good life, I won't be frozen and starved to death.After a fierce ideological struggle, she hardened her heart and stood on Jia Amnesty's side, and said to Yingchun: "I am originally a slave of Jia's mansion. gone."
Jia She calculated in his mind: Yingchun is notorious now, it is impossible to marry a good man again, keeping her is another mouth to eat.Minions are different. They are tools for work and things that can be sold for money.
He stroked his beard and said, "Okay! Okay! When you go back to my Jia's mansion, I will definitely treat you well."
Yingchun's wet nurse, her daughter-in-law and other mother-in-law and daughter-in-law all stood by Jia Amnesty's side. Apart from Xiuju, the four dowry girls also kowtowed to Yingchun and walked over hesitantly.
Now, Yingchun only has Xiuju and Nanny Zhou by her side.
Jia Amnesty was still unwilling, saying that Xiuju and Mrs. Zhou were servants of Jia's mansion and they were not allowed to go with Yingchun.
Yingchun smiled angrily, thinking that when she came to Jia's mansion to see off her relatives, the Sun family asked her to still have all the jewelry she brought for the sake of appearance.
So, he took off the bracelet on his wrist, pulled out the hairpin on his head, put it on the palm of his hand, and said with a sneer to Jia She: "These two people are determined not to return to Jia's house. When I got married, they went with me. In fact , they no longer belong to Jia's mansion. Today, in order to get rid of your Jia mansion, these things should be enough to redeem them. Xiuju, give it to him."
Xiuju picked up the bracelet and hairpin from Yingchun's palm and said, "My lord, please accept it."
Jia Amnesty caught it naturally, without any embarrassment, and there was no embarrassment on his old face.
Yingchun, who was extremely sad, said extremely calmly: "Xiuju, please return the deed of prostitution between you and Zhou's mother."
When Xiuju took over the deed of sale between herself and Zhou's mother, and handed it to Yingchun, Yingchun didn't even look at it, and tore it into pieces, and threw it away with her hands, like a fluttering butterfly, with the wind.
