Xing Xiuyan's Life in the Red Mansion

Three days later, the three members of the Xing family and Jia Lian set foot on the road to Beijing together.

Along the way, Xing Xiuyan was cautiously talking to the young man named Wang'er next to Jia Lian. The closer he got to the capital, the more frightened Xing Xiuyan became.Although Wang'er didn't reveal much, she learned from the few words he occasionally revealed that the Jia family today is completely different from the Jia family in her memory.

Although Yuanchun is still a concubine and the construction of the Grand View Garden is in full swing, Sister Lin has become Mrs. Wang's adoptive daughter. Mrs. Wang's love for her now is no different from that of Second Master Bao.The relationship between Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Xing's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is also very harmonious. Now she is pregnant with her second child, and the eldest daughter is still raised by Mrs. Xing's side. It is said that Mrs. Xing loves her very much.Although the second girl was raised by the old lady since she was a child, she now lives in the same yard as Mrs. Xing.

All these changes made Xing Xiuyan a little at a loss, as many things were different from what she knew.She didn't know whether such a change was good or bad, let alone what direction the plot would develop with her participation.In short, she had to be more careful.

The Xing family followed Jia Lian into Jia's mansion. As soon as they entered the door, Xing Zhong and his wife were overwhelmed by the aura of Rongguo mansion, and they also became timid.Xing Xiuyan couldn't help feeling a little distressed when she saw her, and gently held her parents' hands, her eyes comforting them.

Seeing Jia Lian, she had a high opinion of this cheap cousin. The Jia family has a big business, and it is inevitable that some poor relatives will come to the house to make a splash. It's rare, at least, it's much better than this cheap aunt and uncle.

As soon as she entered the second door, a woman greeted her. She was wearing a long vest of water-blue cotton with lilac embroidered trim, a white collared tunic underneath, and a white pleated skirt on her lower body. The maids I met were different.She greeted her with a smile, "Second master is back? These two are the uncle and wife of the Xing family, right? This is the cousin girl, right? She really looks good. I can't blame my wife for thinking about it every day. It's really a bit like my wife was when she was young." Character! Our grandma is also thinking about how many of you. I know how many of you will be here today, so I specially asked me to pick up some of you at the second door! Now our grandma is waiting at the old lady. The eldest wife, the second wife, and Miss Bao Erye You are all here! The elder is in the study, please take the second master Lian to the study! Uncle and wife, cousin girl, come with me!"

Jia Lian introduced with a smile: "This is Ping'er. If you have anything to do with your aunt and cousin, just tell her, it's the same."

Ping'er glanced at Jia Lian calmly, and Jia Lian's heart was burning hot. If he was in the room, he would have hugged him without hesitation.

She is Ping'er, no wonder she can stay by Wang Xifeng's side, she speaks so fluently, making people feel like a spring breeze.Xing Xiuyan raised her eyes, and wished Ping'er well, "Hello Miss Ping."

Mrs. Xing Liu hurriedly saluted, "Hi, Miss Ping."

Ping'er saw this uncle and wife was fine, her eyes were erratic, and her manners were nondescript. It looked like she came from a poor family, but this cousin girl was not bad, generous and dignified, she was a little bit like Bao girl's temper, it's a pity , is the eldest wife's niece, if it is the second wife, maybe the future will be better!But it's not certain, this cousin girl fell into the eyes of the second grandmother before she came, and she was busy tidying up the yard early, arranging personnel and so on. The wife was even happier.With the help of the second grandma, the future of this cousin girl is not much worse!

"Uncle and Madam don't need to be nervous. Our old lady is the most kind. On weekdays, she is the most sympathetic to the poor and the elderly. Not to mention the eldest wife. The second wife is also a philanthropist. Although our grandma's words are humorous, she is lovely. It's good too. The girls and men in the mansion are all good-natured, you'll get to know it gradually." Ping'er said with a smile as he walked.

No matter how much Ping'er said, Xing and Liu should be nervous, and should be afraid.Xing Xiuyan was a little helpless, walked up, and supported Xing Liushi's arm, "Mother, don't worry, I'm here!"

After saying this, Xing Liu's mood miraculously calmed down.She nodded trustingly, "Well, mother is fine."

Ping'er saw it and smiled knowingly.It seems that this cousin girl is also a master at home with a good voice!

Ping'er led the two of them through corridors and alleys, and finally stopped in front of a large courtyard, "This is the courtyard where our old lady lives, Rongqing Hall. Over there is the Rongxi Hall where the second master and second wife live."

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said, "Thank you, sister Ping'er."

Xing Xiuyan helped Xing Liushi to follow Ping'er, walked in all the way, walked through the promenade, there were birdcages hanging on the promenade, and all kinds of birds were chirping and chirping in the promenade, and the corridors were red and green. The maidservants saw Ping'er bringing someone with them, and they all greeted them with smiles, "Uncle, Madam and Cousin are here? The old lady and the ladies are talking about it!"

The maids surrounded the three of them and went in.

"Old lady, my uncle and my cousin are here!" A maid said with a smile as she opened the curtain.

"Hey! This is the cousin of the Xing family! She is really beautiful, and she has the character of my wife when she was young! No wonder my wife never forgets it every day, even I fell in love with the Xing family sister when I saw it." Others are fine, A young woman with a big belly came out with big strides, Ping'er and the servant girl behind her all turned pale with anxiety.

Ping'er hurried forward to support her and said, "Second Mistress, take care of yourself!"

Wang Xifeng waved his hand, and said nonchalantly: "It's so delicate, I'm not glass, so it can be broken so easily." Wang Xifeng took Xing Xiuyan's hand, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and finally came. "Good sister, from now on, you can stay here with peace of mind. If there is anything you need, just tell me. If the maids are not good, tell me too!"

Xing Xiuyan raised her head, just in time to see Wang Xifeng looking at her eyes, hey, I am very sure, this is the first time I met Wang Xifeng, why is there such a surprise in her eyes as to reunite after a long absence?Could it be?

Wang Xifeng looked away and looked at Mrs. Xing and Liu, "This is my uncle and wife, blame me, blame me. I was only talking to my cousin and forgot about my uncle and wife! Don't be nervous, uncle and wife, they are all real relatives of my family. Come, I will take My uncle and wife went to see the old lady and the ladies."

Wang Xifeng took Xing Liushi with one hand and Xing Xiuyan with the other, walked forward a few steps, and came to an old lady with silver hair on her temples, and said, "Old ancestor, these are the uncle and wife of the Xing family and the cousin of the Xing family."

Xing Liushi didn't dare to look up, and blessed Jia's mother.Xing Xiuyan knelt on the futon brought by the maid, and kowtowed to Jia Mu a few times, "Greetings to the old lady, old lady Jin An."

Jia Mu is wearing a red gold floral-pattern satin double-breasted trousers embroidered with turmeric twining branches and lotus patterns, an ivory cross-neck jacket, a brown-bottomed python-pattern-trimmed brown-red satin jacket with a stand-up collar, and a red-gold floral satin The knee-covering turmeric base horse face skirt, on the head is simply wearing a forehead and a chrysanthemum hairpin.Mother Jia watched Xing Xiuyan finish kowtowing with a smile, "Yuanyang, quickly help Biao girl up. Come to me and let me take a closer look."

Mrs. Xing and Liu have already met Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang over there. Mrs. Xing feels that she has a lot of face because of Jia's mother and others' attitude towards her relatives, so she is quite complacent.

Yuanyang knew that Jia's mother liked the Xing family girl so much because of Lian's second grandmother's face, so she personally helped Xing Xiuyan walk to Jia's mother, then took a magnifying glass, and handed it to Jia's mother, "Old lady, here."

Mother Jia took a magnifying glass and looked at Xing Xiuyan's hands first. Xing Xiuyan grew up in a poor family and was used to doing housework at home. Later, after she started to learn embroidery, Mrs. Gu told her to take good care of her hands and gave her a lot of hand guards. Only then did Xing Xiuyan slowly start to take care of her prescription.Although it is not weak and boneless, it is much better than the previous life.

Mother Jia saw that Xing Xiuyan's attitude was neither haughty nor overbearing, generous and dignified, and nodded in satisfaction. It doesn't matter if you are poor, the key is to have a strong character. This Xing family girl is not bad. "Well, he's a good boy."

Xing Xiuyan smiled shyly, "Thank you, old lady, for your compliment."

Then Wang Xifeng took Xing Xiuyan to see Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, as well as Yingchun Baoyu and so on.Mrs. Xing felt that this niece was fighting for her face today, and she smiled warmly. The meeting gift for Xing Xiuyan was a set of ruby ​​hair. Where is the Xing family sister!"

Jia Mu put her arms around Lin Daiyu and said with a smile, "Is my Yu'er jealous?"

Mrs. Wang couldn't help laughing, she looked at Lin Daiyu with gentle eyes.Xing Xiuyan looked puzzled, how Mrs. Wang and Jia Min turned against each other, this is an unsolved mystery of the Red Chamber, but Mrs. Wang doesn't like Jia Min, and sister Lin, which is recognized by everyone.But now, Mrs. Wang's attitude towards Sister Lin is really puzzling.

But right now is not the time to think about these things, Xing Xiuyan said with a smile: "I have also prepared some gifts, although they are not on the table, but I embroidered them all myself, old ladies and ladies, don't dislike them."

Xing Xiuyan took the bundle from the maid, and inside were the small gifts she had prepared on the way, forehead wiping for Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing Wang, fan covers for the gentlemen, and pouches for the girls.Although they are not expensive items, they are all very delicate and the patterns are very unique.

"The design of this purse is very fresh, as if I haven't seen it before. Is it unique to the south?" Jia Tanchun asked curiously while holding the purse.

Xue Baochai shook her head with a smile, "It's not from the south either. The embroidery samples brought by sister Lin from the south don't have these. Could it be that sister Xing came up with it herself?"

Jia Baoyu held the fan cover embroidered with green pines and white snow in one hand, and the purse embroidered with flowers and riches in the other, swaying unsteadily. He also liked the fan cover, and he also liked the purse. He didn't know how to choose.Jia Xichun pouted, "Second brother, what are you doing with my purse!"

Xing Xiuyan was very happy to see that everyone liked her works. If she really liked her work, she would save a lot of expenses in the future. "I drew it by myself in my free time. If the sisters like it, I don't have many more. The sisters can choose by themselves."
