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

Chapter 33 The beginning of everything is difficult

When the two came to the dining room, Mother He and Yin Rong were serving dishes. The whole family sat neatly, and even Yuan Lin sat on the small chairs.Xiu Ying and Yuan Xu glanced at each other, then walked forward and knelt down in front of their grandmother together.

Mrs. Xu was wondering why she hadn't seen her daughter-in-law and eldest granddaughter after returning to Jinling for half a day; even if they went out to look at the shop, they should be back by dinner time, right?At this time, seeing the two kneeling on the ground, she felt very strange, "What's going on?"

"There is one thing that I should have told my grandmother earlier; but I was afraid that after I told my grandmother, my grandmother would not come to Jinling with me, so my granddaughter kept silent." Xiuying kowtowed to her and said in a deep voice.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Xu began to feel that something was wrong.

"My mother, she has remarried. Now she has brought her elder sister to the capital with that man, and she left me a letter asking me to go there when I come back." Xiu Ying kowtowed again.

"What did you say?" Mrs. Xu stood up abruptly, "Your mother, she, she remarried?"

Xu Ying fell on the ground and did not speak. Xu looked at the people next to her in disbelief. She thought she had heard wrong, but seeing Mother He and Yin Rong bowed their heads, she realized that this granddaughter might No kidding.She became anxious all of a sudden, looking at Xuanying, her voice was choked up, "Second girl, what's going on? Your mother has remarried, so why are you taking us here? Look, this room , the old ones, the young ones, there is no one who has established a family, who can we live by?"

As she said that, she began to cry, "I'm so goddamned, I dragged my sick body to follow you here, half my life is almost gone! I'm in Suiyang with your younger brother and sister. Anyway, we have three meals a day. I Even if you die, there is still a place to bury your bones, don't be a lonely soul without an owner; but now we are brought here by you, we are helpless, what are you going to do?" Another glance at Yinrong Yinbao and He He Mom, "That's it, you still call slaves, how can you afford it! Children and families, do you know how to live?"

Chu Ying was a little unhappy at once, calmed down her mind, and then raised her head and smiled faintly, "Grandmother, since I dare to pick you and my younger siblings, everything is naturally planned; my mother left me here in the suburbs. There are more than 100 acres of farmland and more than 100 acres of mountain land. Although it is not a surplus, it is enough for the whole family to eat. On the side of Wuyi Lane in the east of the city, my mother left me a shop. The location of the shop is also Well, let’s talk about tens of thousands of taels of silver a year, not only for our family to eat and drink, but even for Yuan Lin and Yuan Xujin to study, there is no problem at all.”

Seeing that Mrs. Xu had calmed down, she said again, "Grandmother, you might as well think about it carefully. If I don't go pick you up, with your body, how long can you last at the fourth uncle's house?" Can the younger brother and sister be well? That shrew surnamed Sun deliberately angered you when she saw the sky, and beat her younger brother and sister in every possible way. You actually said that it was better there? Just because there is a man in that family? Uncle, his mother-in-law has the final say on everything in the family? Does he have a bit of masculinity? Is he worthy of being a man? As long as he is a man, he should not let his mother-in-law treat you disrespectfully and treat younger brothers and sisters badly! Such a black hearted seed , Confused kid, you still say that he is good? The granddaughter went so hard to pick you up, she wanted to support you until the end of her life, she wanted her younger brother to go to school, and her younger sister to grow up safely and happily. Don’t do that. Burning fire girl! What am I doing for? Is it for my own benefit? You don't praise me for your kindness and filial piety, but you are arguing with me here, are you so cruel?"

No matter what, she still has to be the master of this family, and she needs absolute dominance in this family.Even if her grandmother came and wanted to rely on the power of her elders to make irresponsible remarks and point fingers, she would never be willing; this was her first step in striving for a free life.

As she spoke, she pulled up Yuan Xu who was kneeling beside her, "If you want to talk about the man whose surname is Xi, he is also surnamed Xi; look, character, appearance, and ability are not as good as that of the fourth brother Xie." Uncle? Now that he has adopted his father's name, he is his father's son, Yuan Lin's elder brother, and my brother. In a few years, he will enter school and gain fame. In terms of ten thousand steps, even if he fails to study, he must be a famous man, and I think none of those people in our hometown can match him!"

Yuan Xu was ashamed and grateful when he heard this, and quickly kowtowed to Mrs. Xu, "Don't worry, grandma. My sister and I have discussed it along the way. I will definitely study hard and strive to enter school as soon as possible; at home My sister and I will discuss all the matters. My sister said that my grandmother is here, just take good care of her body; if she is in good spirits, she can also help take care of Yuan Lin and her younger sister. There is no need for other matters. Grandma worries."

The two joined hands, one with a bad face and the other with a bad face, and they really persuaded Xu to be submissive; Xu is a person who has no opinions and is not hard-tempered, otherwise he would not be in his hometown. It would be so frustrating.Although she was still worried about these two and a half-aged children, since there was a large house in front of her, with good food and food to eat, and someone to wait on her actions, she couldn't be picky about anything. Check back some time.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu hurriedly helped the two of them up, "Get up! You two are naturally good; I have seen so much, and it is really rare for someone at your age to be so sensible. As a grandmother, what else can I say? It's just that except for me, the old one, this family is all children, so I can't help but worry about it!" On the other hand, he said to Xiu Ying: "Well, Er girl, what's the matter at home? I don't care about the big things, but I have to take care of the miscellaneous small things in the house, so that you don't have to worry about taking care of the whole family all day long." She still wants to ask Xiuying for the right of housekeeper, but it just shows that she will no longer rely on the old to interfere with her affairs.

After thinking about it, Xiuying let her go. It is a good thing for the old man to worry about it all day long, which shows that she has the energy.The whole family began to eat, and Xiuying asked Dan to open a small table so that the servants could also have a good meal.Zhou Feng and Zhou Cheng had a hard time going out this time. Needless to say, Mother He, she was old and fell on the road, and the scar on her head was still there; as for Yinbao, she was even more frightened. Yinrong was at home Guarding the house alone is meritorious, so Xiuying has its own rewards.After distributing the money, Xiu Ying always felt that someone was watching her. Looking around, she saw her concubine Xiu Xiang sitting in the corner, staring at her with big black eyes.Seeing Xuan Ying suddenly turned her head, she quickly lowered her head in fright.

When Mrs. Zheng sent Mrs. Xu and his party back to Suiyang, Su Xiang was only three years old and had no memory at all, so to her, Su Ying could be regarded as a stranger.Although under Xu's teaching, she called her elder sister and followed her to such a prosperous place and such an exquisite house; She put on clean, beautiful, and well-fitting clothes, and she ate delicious meals; she felt that everything was so unreal.She also watched her elder sister assigning these servants to do things, and they were all submissive and respectful; she also saw her elder sister casually throwing out so many rewards, she couldn't see a few coins throughout the year in the big courtyard .Therefore, she is full of curiosity about everything here, including this sister.

"Xiang'er, come here!" Sitting on a small stool, Xiuying waved to her.

Xuan Xiang seemed a little shy, and quickly hid behind her grandmother, but couldn't help sticking out her little head.Except for the slightly rounded nose, she is actually a very cute girl, with picturesque eyebrows, clear eyes, and skin as white as snow. With the bones, she still has a round face.

"Go, my sister is calling you, you sisters are close and close." Xu coaxed her patiently, "You call me sister, when my sister is happy, she will buy you flowered clothes, sweets, and give you money Woolen cloth!"

So Xuan Xiang walked over staggeringly and called out to her sister in a low voice.Xiuying smiled and answered, holding her in her arms, feeling that she was as thin as a paper figure, and tears almost flowed out again, so she hurriedly smiled and asked her in a low voice: "Xiang'er, did you just ask?" Looking at me secretly like that, what are you looking at?"

Xuan Xiang pursed her lips and said nothing, while Xuan Ying smiled softly and said to her, "Tell me, what are you looking at? Tell me, I will give you whatever you want."

Xuan Xiang's dark eyes flickered, and he looked at Xuan Ying hesitantly, "Really?"

Xu Ying smiled, "I will never lie to you."

Xuan Xiang lowered his head, "Just now I saw my sister handing out coins to them, I, I want one too."

Xiu Ying smiled and put a copper in her hand, "Here. Tell me, what do you want this copper for?"

But Xuan Xiang didn't speak anymore, holding the copper coin, he immediately hid behind Xu's back.

Xiu Ying couldn't help but look around again, "Where's Yuan Lin? Tell him to come too, and I'll give him a hug."

Yuan Lin was carried aside by Yin Rong to feed him, and when he heard Xiu Ying calling, he quickly hugged him over.Xu Ying saw that the little guy looked somewhat similar to Xuan Zongzhao, with dark eyebrows and a big nose, but his skin was fair and he was not ugly, but sick and lacking energy.Seeing his pale complexion, Xiuying knew that he had a congenital deficiency, so she just squeezed his little hand to tease him, "Come on, call my sister to listen!"

Yuan Lin kept silent, just tilted his head and looked at her curiously.Mrs. Xu came over and sighed deeply, "Second girl, look, this is over two years old, and she has never said a word; you say he was born deaf-mute, but it doesn't look like , there was some noise, he was very vigilant, and would cry in fright; this is also the case with walking, he squats on the ground after walking a few steps, and has to be hugged all day long. What do you think should be done?"

After hearing what Xu said, Xiu Ying took Yuan Lin's hand to look at it, and looked at his nails specially.Because of her young age, apart from being pale, she can't see anything else; but combined with the symptoms Xu said, Xiuying doubts that this younger brother has a congenital heart disease, and it is unclear whether he can grow up safely.But she wasn't too sure, so she planned to look for Liu Xianglian's sixth uncle in a few days. He heard that he was good at treating children, so Xiuying planned to ask him to have a look, and also to inquire about opening a herbal medicine shop.

Next, because she had to buy things for her grandmother and younger siblings and settle down, Xiuying was busy for several days.When everything is arranged properly, she still has to worry about her raw medicine shop and Yuan Xu's schooling.Yuan Xu expressed that he was not in a hurry, his foundation was not very good, he rashly entered another school, if he couldn't keep up with the class, it would make people laugh.Generally, children with a family background, at his age, have already learned the interpretation of the Four Books, and generally have already started to learn how to make a fuss, practice the method of breaking the problem and passing on, but he is obviously still far away.

But fortunately, Xiu Zongzhao also passed the exam step by step from the bottom. There are a large number of reading notes and study materials in his study, and Yuan Xu is a person who is quite capable of self-study. As long as he is willing to work hard, he will consolidate these foundations. Sex stuff is only a matter of time.After thinking about it for a while, Xiuying had no choice but to put the matter on hold temporarily, hoping to wait until he found a suitable villa before asking someone to let him go to school.

Therefore, in the recent period of time, Xiuying was mainly busy with the shop, after all, it was related to the livelihood of the whole family.It was said before that the income of this shop is tens of thousands of taels of silver a year, so of course it was coaxing Mrs. Xu, just give her a reassurance first.Yuan Xu insisted on going out with Xiu Ying, and he spent his reading time in the evening or at night, or when he was eating, but he was still very hard; People will be like this when they are old, and they feel uncomfortable if they don't babble.

Uncle Liu's shop was a bit far from Jiama Lane, and Xiuying and Yuanxu rode mules and horses through almost half of Jinling City, and finally found it.Liu Liushu happened to be in the shop, and when he saw Xiuying, he recognized her, but the first thing he said was, "What should I call girl?"

Xiuying didn't know what he meant by asking this question, so she could only say seriously: "My biological father's surname is Xuan, and my stepfather's surname is You; as for me, I can neither change my bloodline nor prevent my mother from remarrying. What Mr. Liu thinks my surname should be, Whatever it is, I have nothing to do with it."

The family nephew Xiang Lian has a different meaning for this girl, Uncle Liu Liu knows it, because he just came here a few days ago, asked about this shop, and also explained the situation of Xiuying, so Uncle Liu must be careful. To help her.Now that the girl came to the door by herself, Liu Liushu obviously had the intention of taking the school exam, and asked this slightly tricky question specially; this nephew, his parents are long gone, and the elders of the clan have to guard him.

In Liu Liushu's opinion, if you want to match Xianglian, whether it's surnamed Xi or You, there is no problem with Xiying's original identity, but the matter is subtle, Zheng's remarriage.After all, in this day and age, observance of chastity is a virtue. As for remarriage, it all depends on other people's opinions, both good and bad.

Ordinarily, for the sake of importing children, the court not only forced marriages, but even encouraged widows to remarry, but when it came to the people, especially some famous families, they were not tolerant of this matter.The Zheng family is an official with two daughters, which is even more eye-catching.That's why Liu Liushu spoke and acted strangely.

Uncle Liu Liu didn't expect Xiu Ying to be so straightforward, not as shy as ordinary daughters, and maybe because of this shame, he also had a good impression of her, so he asked with a smile, "Then, what do you want me to call you?" And you?"

This problem is unavoidable in the future and must be faced.Xiuying thought for a while, and then smiled, "Let's put it this way: when I was at the Hu family, my surname was Hu; It's my younger brother, Xuan Yuanxu, who came here with me, and I'm also doing it for the Xuan family, so Mr. Liu will call me Miss Xuan."

"Okay, Miss Xuan, I'll tell the truth." Uncle Liu Liu glanced at Xuan Ying, "It's not that I want to pour cold water on you, but you don't know medicine and medicine, and you want to prescribe raw medicine when your eyes are dark. If there is no famous doctor to support the shop, I think it will be difficult!"
