The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

As a maid, Xiren's words can be regarded as disobedience, but Mrs. Wang was stunned when she heard it. It took a long time before she clapped her hands together and recited "Amitabha". Fortunately, you also understand that these words are the same as my heart."

As she said that, Mrs. Wang couldn't help crying: "Why didn't I know how to take care of my son? How did I take care of him when you were with Master Zhu? Don't tell me I don't know how to take care of my son now? There is just one reason: now I want to take care of my son." , I am almost 50 years old. Although I have given birth to three, your uncle Zhu has already gone, and your empress is in the palace again. I can’t wait to see you. Now there is only one of him in front of me. He is so tall Shan weak, besides, the old lady is like a baby, if you control him tightly, if there is another good or bad, or if the old lady gets angry, it will be uneasy at that time, wouldn't it be bad, so I indulged him."

Xiren also looked sad when he heard it, and went to wipe away the tears for Mrs. Wang, but she held her hand and said, "I often persuade, talk, scold and cry angrily. He’s good, it’s still irrelevant afterwards, it’s just a matter of suffering. Just like last time, there was something about an actor, something about slandering officials and generals, and the old master instigated it. Now, who will I rely on in the future!" As she spoke, the tears became more and more unstoppable, rolling down her face.

Regardless of what Mrs. Wang is to outsiders for the time being, she is indeed a motherly heart towards Baoyu, which no one can deny.It's just that the only child she cares about doesn't care about her thoughts, nor her feelings, at least, she doesn't care about her heart.It is nothing more than a sad mother.

Seeing Mrs. Wang's sadness, Xiren didn't feel hurt. He had planned his own plan, but now he was a little more sincere. Yes, why don't you feel distressed. Even if we serve as servants for a while, and everyone is safe, it can be regarded as good luck. If we want to get up like this, we can't even be safe. I won't persuade the second master any day or any time It’s just that I can’t wake up any more. The second master refuses to listen to me, and those who don’t know how to persuade the second master are willing to get close to him, and they can’t blame him for being like this. It’s not good if we persuade the second master. Mrs. Speaking of this, I still have one thing in mind, every time I have to go back and forth with my wife to ask her for advice. But I am afraid that my wife will be suspicious, not only will my words be in vain, but also there will be no place to bury me."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang asked for a reason, "my son, just say what you have to say. Recently, because I heard people praise you behind their backs, I just said that you just paid attention to Baoyu, or You are kind to me, these small things are good, so you and the old aunt will act together. Who knows that what you said to me just now is full of truth, just like my thinking. Just say what you have, just don’t teach others to know That's it."

After Xiren heard this, it was clear that Mrs. Wang had already agreed in her heart that she was Baoyu's aunt. The joy and the satisfaction of getting her wish could no longer be restrained, so she had to lower her head to hide the joy on her face. Her facial expression, but her tone is very well done, the meaning of wholeheartedly thinking for Baoyu and being loyal to Mrs. Wang is fully revealed. "I don't have anything else to say, I just want to ask my wife to show me how to change the way, and teach the second master to stay away from the girls in the future."

Mrs. Wang was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly took the attacker's hand and asked, "Who did Baoyu have trouble with?"

The attacker hurriedly replied: "Madam, don't worry, I didn't say that. It's just my little knowledge. I just thought that now the second master is getting older, and the girls are getting older too. Besides, Miss Linbao is a The two aunts and cousins, and the historian's girl Yun, although they are sisters, they are divided into men and women. It is inconvenient to sit together day and night, and it can't help but make people worry, even outsiders don't look like them... ·”

When Madam Wang heard this, she already deeply regarded Xiren as her own daughter. She put her arms around her and shouted: "My son, it's hard for you to see so clearly, he is actually more caring and sensible than my Baoyu... ··”

Xiren didn't dare to be hugged by Mrs. Wang like this, and he struggled a little bit to get out, not even daring.

Mrs. Wang took her hand, and said repeatedly: "You have such a heart, and you think so thoroughly! I never thought of this, but I forgot about it a few times. What you said today reminds me I, it's hard for you to give my mother a decent reputation. Really, I don't know you are so good. Well, you go ahead, I have my own reason. But there is one more sentence: Since you came today and said this to me If you don’t, I’ll hand him over to you, be careful anyway, if you save him, you’ll save me, and I’ll naturally live up to you.”

After Xiren heard this, a big rock in his heart fell to the ground, and he agreed to go again and again.On the way back, she was secretly happy, thinking in her heart that she had completely won the competition with Jin Chuan'er.Now she belongs to Mrs. Wang just like Jin Chuan'er, and she is more trusted than Jin Chuan'er. The best thing is, on the surface, she is still given to Baoyu by Shi Taijun, so she is a higher level than all the maids.Not only that, but she was also Baoyu's first intimate relationship with a woman, and Baoyu also cared about her, so the only thing to worry about from now on was the choice of Second Mistress.

Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun, and Xue Baochai, one of these three girls is likely to be the second grandmother of Bao in the future.If it was Shi Xiangyun, there is no need to say that I ruled her by pinching her with my hands. This girl is so stupid and bold. Up to now, she still calls her sister one by one. She has no ladylike demeanor at all. High and low.

It would be great if Xue Baochai, this girl is generous and virtuous, she is willing to be affectionate to these maids, she is dignified, she will never do anything to monopolize Baoyu, and she is also the wife's niece, if she gets married, my wife His arm is naturally on the front line with her, and he is not afraid of being disposed of.

The only one who is worried is Lin Daiyu, this cousin girl, who is mean-spirited, lovable and petty, but Baoyu is the one who cares the most. Once she sees her, no one cares about her.She also loves jealousy, and if she really marries Baoyu, she will order that no one else be allowed to get involved.In Xiren's heart, the second grandma of Bao who is unwilling to have a future is Lin Daiyu.Fortunately, Mrs. Wang has been reminded now that if she is in the way, the old lady may not be able to help.

Thinking about it, Xiren's footsteps became more and more relaxed. When she returned to Yihong Courtyard, Baoyu was still in Ronghou's Mansion, so she called Qiu Wen and told her to put away the two bottles of fragrant dew, but she took a break Go take a shower and change clothes, dress up fresh and beautiful.Today is a very hot day, I ran to several places, and Baoyu was scared into a cold sweat, and my clothes were sticky to my body, which was very uncomfortable.

All of a sudden, the little maids brought water and sent her fragrant soap and saponin powder, and a special person took her clothes out for washing.Xiren soaked in the warm water, full of contentment. How could this kind of life be enjoyed by her in that impoverished part of her home?Years ago, the family said that they would save money to redeem her to go out. She cried and gritted her teeth, and said that she would die, just for the enjoyment that only the deputy ladies can have.Going out, marrying someone who is also poor, even if you can be a wife and wear red, what good is there?Staying in this picturesque Grand View Garden and being an aunt to the younger brother of the empress in the palace, this is the life she should enjoy.

Besides, Lin Daiyu in Ronghou's mansion was humiliated by Baoyu, and ran back to Qixia Garden crying bitterly, rushed into her room, threw herself on the mattress and burst into tears, scaring the little girl who stayed behind, Chunxian, into a panic I was so frightened that I cried and cried again and again, and said: "Girl, girl, what's the matter? But what's wrong? Or is someone bullying you?"

When Daiyu heard the word "bullying", she cried even more sadly, and she did not forget to tell Chunxian, choked up, and said: "You just stand in the room, don't go out to find anyone, and don't tell anyone that I cry. Yes. If someone comes to me, just say that I am tired and fell asleep, do you understand?"

Chunxian was so frightened that she shook her hands and head again and again: "Girl, I'm scared when you cry like this. Is it uncomfortable or you were bullied? We all have a saying, good girl, you just don't let me go to greet you. Miss, Miss Xi and the others said, at least I’ve found Sister Zijuan to come back, Miss, I’m so scared when I see you like this.”

Daiyu shouted: "I told you that you are not allowed to call someone, and you are not allowed to speak. Why, my words are no longer effective? Are you even here to bully me?"

Chunxian was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a "plop", and cried, "How dare I bully her, what did the girl say? I just feel sorry for her."

Daiyu also knew that she had said too much, and she regretted that she said it in a hurry, so she blushed unconsciously, slowly stopped crying, went to pull Chunxian up and said, "I brought you here from the south, and you are with me." Like the snow geese, they are all the most caring. How can I blame you, but today's matter, if it is said, it is not only others who are shameless, even I myself can't tell clearly with a long mouth. What's more, today is It's a big day for Big Brother Ning's promotion, if I cry like this, others will know, isn't it bad luck!"

Chunxian helped Lin Daiyu sit back on the bed, wiped away her tears, and said: "Young lady is angry, it's okay to beat me and scold me, as you said, sister Xueyan and I are the most caring people, Then vent your anger on me, and don't hold it in your heart. As for today's wedding banquet, it's not good to cry, I also know it, but I forgot it for a while. Girl, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense, let the girl suffer along with it."

Daiyu took Chunxian's hand and whispered: "I'm not willing to use you to vent my anger. I'm just angry with myself. I did something wrong when I was young and ignorant. Now I regret it. Just let me lie down and rest." Rest, it will be fine in a while."

Chunxian said: "Then I will serve the girl to rest and watch outside. If the girl has something to do, she must call me." After that, he removed the heavy hairpin for Daiyu, widened his coat, helped Daiyu lie down, and covered her Covered by the quilt, I covered the door curtain by myself, sat on the porch, and listened to all the sounds inside and outside the house.

In the room, Lin Daiyu covered her face in the quilt, and cried silently for a while, until she was so tired that she could no longer open her eyes, and then slowly fell asleep.It's just that there is no peace in sleep, and she still weeps silently.

In the evening, the banquet in front gradually dissipated, some of the waves of guests brought their own carriages and horses to go home, and some of the more important ones needed the servants of the Hou Mansion to follow them back in their carriages.Jia Lian and Jia Zhen were busy saying goodbye to everyone at the door.More important figures were still sitting in front of the hall, talking to Jia She and Ning Shan.

It is earlier to leave the back house. Many wives, wives, and grandmas still have to prepare their own men's dinner or take care of the chores accumulated after a day away from home after returning home.Therefore, those who say goodbye say goodbye, those who leave early leave early, Mrs. Xing only picks up the important ones and sends them to the second gate, and Yingchun takes care of the others.

They were all sent away with great difficulty, and Yingchun, who was busy with backache and backache, helped Mrs. Xing, who was also tired and unable to straighten her waist, back to Rongxi Hall.Xichun couldn't hold on in the afternoon, so as soon as the ladies brought by the wives withdrew from the table, Yingchun asked Xichun to go back to Qixia Garden to rest early.Xichun is young, she doesn't know much about everything, she only knows to follow the orders of her sisters.

Today Yingchun only asked her to help accompany the girls who came to the banquet to joke, but she started to chat with them seriously, and spent countless thoughts to find topics, this time she was too tired to care about Daiyu.

As for seeing off the last guest, Jia She and Ning Shan, who went back to Rongxi Hall for tea and rest, didn't care about the little girls' affairs, so naturally they wouldn't ask.But Mrs. Xing didn't think about others at all. Today, she only cared about the scenery and chatted with the wives. In the afternoon, she took care of the banquet for the guests and directed some drama rehearsals.

On the other hand, Yingchun thought that she hadn't seen Daiyu all afternoon, and she didn't know what she was busy with. It's just that she was listening to Jia She and Ning Shan talking in Rongxi Hall, and even Jia Lian couldn't get in her mouth, and naturally she didn't speak. For the sake of it, he pulled the sleepy little Jia Cong and sat on a chair beside him, trying to support his head so that he would not fall asleep.It will take two more days for such a floating banquet to be set up, and she has to be careful in serving the guests who are getting closer and closer, so as not to embarrass her big brother.

Therefore, Daiyu was humiliated by Baoyu today, and she just got by so quietly.Even Daiyu herself didn't think of suing, she just cried all night, and before dawn the next day, she felt hot all over her body and her face was burning, she went to the mirror and took a picture, her cheeks were flushed , Self-envy overwhelms the peach blossoms, but it is because of yesterday's grievance that he fell ill.
