[Red Mansion] Third Sister You's New Life in the Red Mansion

Now that the matter of buying a house has been settled, Chu Ying wants to make a quick decision and complete all the transfer documents as soon as possible, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.Under Zhou Feng's management, the house deed documents were in Chu Ying's hands in just two or three days.Chu Ying was also busy looking for someone to repair and clean the house and yard, cleaning and repairing the garden, buying furniture at the second-hand market, and asking someone to make it if she couldn't buy it. During the cooking, occasionally Zhou Feng and Zhou Cheng came to help and do some rough work.

You Chongyi originally imagined that she would beg for help at a young age, but she never expected that Chu Ying would not make a fuss at all, nor would she complain about being tired or tired. , stronger than those adults who have never been in the family before, You Chongyi didn't realize that he was surprised.

After waiting for more than half a month, Chu Ying came to the inn to pick up Mrs. Zheng and her sister Xiuxiu in person, and said that the house had been repaired, and asked them to go and have a look. If they are not in a hurry to go to Beijing, they can stay here for a while. On a good day, you don't have to spend money to go to the hotel.

You Chongyi had been walking around the capital a few years ago, and entrusted his uncle-in-law to transfer back to the capital from his idle position in the Southern Household Department.It was Xiumu that day, so he and Mrs. Zheng went to Jiama Lane to look at the new house.Chu Ying said, because the two of them have not yet got married, there is no place for him to live in the house. If it is arranged, the name will not be justified, and if the curtain is not repaired by ginseng, it will be troublesome.You Chongyi knew that what she said was reasonable, and he was now at the critical moment of seeking to be transferred back, so there must be no mistakes, so he took it very seriously.

A group of people came to Jiama Lane, and saw that the alley was really deep and cramped, and it was just enough for a carriage to pass through.The houses on both sides of the alley have built high courtyard walls, and occasionally a few flowering trees protrude from the top of the walls.The alley is paved with bluestone slabs, and dark green moss grows along the corners of the walls.

"Although this place is quiet, it's a little remote, and the terrain is not high, so it might be too humid?" You Chongyi looked back and forth, and said to Zheng.

"It's fine to live in seclusion for the elderly, but it's too deserted for daily living. Look at this alley, no one hears people in broad daylight, and it's so quiet. It's a child, and it's still not safe to do things!" Zheng wrinkled I frowned.

Xiu Ying led the way far away, and did not hear the discussion between the two.Stopping in front of a long and narrow courtyard gate, she looked at them with a little excitement, "Here we are! Mother, look!"

Under her guidance, the crowd went up four or five narrow stone steps. Chu Ying pushed open the old courtyard door with a bang, and suddenly saw a bright light.

But under the blue sky, there are more than a dozen houses in the third and third floors, all of which are covered with white walls and black tiles, hidden among the green trees; the verandahs and corridors of the Baosha are all available, and they have just been repaired; there is a two-story building in the southeast corner. In the small attic, the corner of the corridor has been newly repaired, and Tianxin grass curtains are hanging down; the newly planted flowers and trees in the yard are well arranged, and the paths are paved with various pebbles;There is a picture of a spring magpie painted on the pink water screen wall at the front door, and a nest of bamboo is newly planted next to it, and it seems to have survived and is full of vitality.

Xiu Yingben is a person who loves beauty. She really wants to keep this small home clean and tidy, comfortable and livable. She believes that this small courtyard designed according to traditional aesthetics will impress people.

"It doesn't look obvious from the outside, but there really is something different in this courtyard!" You Chongyi led Mrs. Zheng to look around in the courtyard, "This courtyard is four or five steps higher than the alley, and the terrain is already good. , these few steps into the house are well arranged, it seems that there is no need to worry about the wetness of the ground." After going up a few more steps to the second main house, You Chongyi took a look, and said again: "The layout is small. , it’s practical, but these houses are a bit old, but fortunately they match this house.”

Mrs. Zheng went up to Sanjin's residence by herself, and finally came back satisfied, and told You Chongyi, "After all, she is my daughter, she is very capable. You can go and see later, there is nothing wrong with those furnishings. I mean it, it looks like we are worrying for nothing." At the same time, he called Xuying over, "I am not at ease if you live here alone. Mama He has always been loyal, so I will stay in her room. There are two maids, Yin Rong and Yin Bao, who were sent to work in the shop by me before, but now you need manpower here, I will send them here to serve you."

Xiuying looked at it, and found that Yinrong was an old girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, with a few freckles on her round, fair face, she was not conspicuous, and she was said to be very neat in her work; Small, childish, can't see anything, these two girls used to be the rough envoys of the outer court, when the Zheng family sold out the young maids, they still kept a few, these two are two of them up.

It doesn't matter how high or low the girls are, as long as there are those who can command her, in her eyes, these people are the relationship between the boss and the employees. If they don't understand, they will teach them. If they don't understand, they can change. It's no big deal Yes, so she happily thanked Zheng.

Seeing that Xuanying was busy again, Zheng gave You Chongyi a coquettish look, "I won't go back to the inn tonight, I'll just stay here. Staying in those two rooms all day is boring. I'm bored, and you see how open it is here; I'll stay here until you come for me."

You Chongyi smiled, and was about to say something to her, when he saw Xiuxiu standing not far away, following the two of them step by step, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so he coughed lightly and asked, "Xiuer, the yard your sister arranged ,what do you think?"

Xiuxiu remained silent all day long, and Zheng almost forgot her existence. At this time, when You Chongyi asked her, she realized that her daughter had noticed her acting like a coquettish fool, and she couldn't help but look on her face. As soon as she got hot, she also looked at Xiuxiu, "Just follow us and do what? Your sister said, let you pick the place yourself, and the rest is hers. I'm not talking about you, as long as you are half as sensible as her , I don’t have to worry about it.”

After a pause, she continued: "A few days ago, your father found out that Zhang Chengbao's family was going through a lawsuit, and it seemed that they were going to lose; if so, that uncle is still ignorant, and he is crazy about whoring and gambling. Sell ​​your own sister to a kiln. According to your father's intention, you want to get rid of this relationship and go to Beijing to find the right one. What do you think?"

Seeing Xiuxiu's bewildered face, she sighed impatiently, "Okay, okay, your father and I are the ones to decide this matter, so don't worry about it, anyway, you are a person who has no idea." Following You Chongyi, he went to the backyard to look at the residence.

Xuanxiu stood in the same place blankly, and it took a while to realize that she knew that the marriage that she had been looking forward to since she was sensible had been put on hold.The tip of her nose was slightly sour, and tears rolled down immediately. Xiuxiu covered her face with a handkerchief, and began to sob softly. After a while, she heard Xuanying's concerned voice, "Why is sister crying here? But what happened? "

When asked by her sister, Xiuxiu cried more and more and couldn't help herself, and after a while she said in a hoarse voice: "Sister, I can't live any longer!"

Su Ying was taken aback, and questioned her again and again, when Xiu Xiu told her what had happened, she snorted, "I thought it was a big deal, so it was because of this! What's the matter? Why is my sister crying? Could it be that she couldn't bear that?" Bad guy? Let me tell you the truth, if things are really as they say, even if my mother doesn’t decide for you, I will find a way to call off this marriage for you! It’s not that we dislike the poor and love the rich, but that this person can’t be trusted , if you insist on marrying your sister, wouldn’t it be a waste of your sister’s life? It’s a good thing to rein in the horse now. My sister’s nature is gentle and docile, and she’s a good female worker, not to mention her looks. Naturally, she should find someone with both ability and integrity to match her. elder sister."

Xiuxiu cried and shook her head, "You don't understand! For someone like me who made an appointment and then divorced, it will be too much to talk to someone in the future; Gone, mother, mother... oh, now, my marriage is not going well, I really don't know what to do!"

Xiuying smiled and hugged her, "My silly sister, why are you crying? I am here! Speaking of life, are you and I the same parents? I am worse than you - when I was young, I was chased by my mother How many times have you been beaten? You have been obedient since you were a child, and your mother never touched your finger! You see, I don’t even say that my life is hard, so why should you say it? Besides, isn’t the matter still in trouble now? Anyway There are still them up there, so why do we care so much? There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and as long as my sister walks upright and sits upright, I will go according to what others say in the future."

Coaxing Xiuxiu to stop crying slowly, Xuanying said again, "If you are willing to go to the capital with your mother, I will not stop you. But let me tell you here, the eldest sister of the You family, although her husband's family It's Ningguo's mansion. It sounds mighty, but I heard many people outside say that the brother-in-law and step-son are not fun, and there are so many dirty things in the mansion. Whenever you go to Najia's mansion, Be careful in everything, and stay away from them. Our mother remarried, so people will talk about it, you must remember to keep yourself clean; one more thing, because he is very good, a couple who are not good can't do it, sister, you have a personality Meek and honest, I don't understand the secrets of those back houses, but all the big families with wives and concubines are fighting openly and secretly. Each person has 1 minds, and soft knives kill without blood. Sister, this woman, she made a wrong step. It's time to regret it!"

Seeing her sister looking at her half-understanding, Chu Ying couldn't help but sighed in her heart: that's all she can say, and she only hopes that in that situation, her sister can still remember a thing or two of what she said.

What Chu Ying is worried about is that her sister is now a cardamom girl. She has a beautiful appearance and a graceful figure.

Mrs. Zheng is also a foolish person. In order to get a bad reputation for retiring the engagement, will she just force her daughter to enter Jia's mansion?In short, Jia's mansion, where Baiyu is the king's horse, is simply a blessed land in her eyes. Regardless of being a wife or concubine, for her own face, and the family's livelihood after You Chongyi's death, she will probably not cherish her sister future.

Thinking of this, Xu Ying's expression gradually became serious.How can we prevent the tragedy from happening to my sister?First of all, of course, you can't have contact with people in Jia's mansion.However, the relationship between the Zheng family and the surname You is now a certainty, and even she herself has to change her surname, and contact with people in Jia's house in the future is unavoidable.

She was lucky enough to win such a shelter from the wind and rain for herself. Although it was only temporary, she also got a little respite.

But what about my sister?My sister's going, isn't it still like a sheep going into a tiger's mouth, and a flower falling into the dust?

I came to this world once, if I can only protect myself and protect myself, then what's the point of living?

Even my grandmother and concubine and concubines who are far away in the country, I still miss them all the time, wondering if they have suffered hardships in the country, not to mention my sister who grew up with me as a child and has a deep affection?

After thinking about it, Xiu Ying decided to go to Kyoto to accompany her sister after the arrangements here are settled.Before that, she had to put her sister where she could take care of her.

Her elder sister is kind-hearted, docile, beautiful with snow as her skin and flowers as her belly. If she can receive the most gentle care, she will not sink into the mud and die at a young age.

Taking advantage of the fact that You Chongyi's transfer back to the capital has not yet been implemented, Xiuying plans to go back to Suiyang to pick up her grandmother and younger brother.Calculating the time, my younger brother Yuan Lin is almost two years old, and he can say that he can leave.When she mentioned this idea to Mrs. Zheng, it was no surprise that she met with strong opposition.

"If you bring your grandmother here, then what am I? Who does this house belong to? Is it mine or hers? Let her watch me remarry? Can you stop embarrassing me? After we leave, you will I didn't care about picking her up then, why do you have to pick her up now?" Mrs. Zheng was very upset.

"Mother! You have to make it clear that this house is mine now, mine! Whom I want to take over is my business! You are my mother, she is still my grandmother! Since you have decided to remarry, you don't care What do people think? Could it be that you won’t get married if she comes to stop you? Besides, when I go to pick up my grandmother, someone has to watch the house for me. I'll report to the person first, and you just avoid her at that time; what's the point?" Xiuying was used to contradicting Zheng Shi since she was a child, and she just opened her mouth for reason.

"Okay, okay!" Zheng raised her voice angrily, "Little brat, I really owed you in my previous life, and I deserve to be a bully for you in this life! Go as you like, she may not be willing to come! God She is not afraid of hard work if she travels thousands of miles back and forth? Besides, people miss their hometown all the time, so be good, let me see how you can persuade her!"

"I don't want you to pick her up, so what do you care about me? Besides, why don't I leave? No one bothers you, so you can live with my father in my new house, Go Le! Willing?" Xu Ying curled her lips.

Zheng rolled her big eyes at her.
