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

"I didn't say this for no reason. My intuition has always been accurate." Chu Ying explained to Liu Xianglian, but he didn't seem to want to continue this topic.

"Okay, I know it's hard." Suying put her head in her arms helplessly, "Unless the master can cure father, and the father can make the decision, then the mother may listen to him; but what about the father, I have always thought that daughters are rare goods to live in, and I would not be willing to marry my second sister to Chen Jing; if he chooses someone for my second sister, I am afraid that it will not be so suitable; hey, it is really troublesome!"

"You little brain, how many things do you have to worry about all day long?" Liu Xianglian finally couldn't help reaching out and rubbing the top of her hairy head, because she came up to look at the moon on a whim before going to bed, so Xiuying didn't comb her hair. With only loose hair, such a gentle and delicate, thin and thin one, it is really pitiful and cute.

After rubbing like this, both of them were stunned. Xiuying looked up at him, pursed her lips slightly, then lowered her head, but did not speak; seeing that she didn't seem to be too resistant, Liu Xianglian was relieved, and she felt relieved. They all seem to be happy.

The two sat together like this, admiring the bright moonlight, listening to the noise of the flowing water, and seeing the silence between the heaven and the earth.

The moonlight was like water, shining on the surface of the river. After a while, Liu Xianglian took out the flute she was carrying with her and played it.

Another three or two days later, the boat had arrived at Jingkou.Between Jingkou Guazhou and the water, Zhongshan is only a few mountains away. Seeing that he is about to arrive home, Chu Ying's heart becomes happy.Because of the need to replenish drinking water and buy food, the boat took a break at the ferry. Chu Ying wore a veil and disembarked with Mother He to breathe.After a few steps, the two saw a small, middle-aged woman approaching, looking Mama He up and down, "Isn't this Tweety? Why are you here? Didn't you go to Kyoto with your aunt?"

Mother He took a look, "Oh, it's Chunqin, why are you here? Could it be that our second young master is out? Where are you going?"

It turned out that the one who played the piano was the maid of Zheng's family. When she was young, she was very close to Mama He. Later, Mama He married Zheng and went to Jinling, and the two of them seldom communicated.But the two met at Zheng's house more than a year ago, so they talked excitedly when they saw each other.

Because of the right age, this Chunqin is also the nanny of her second cousin Zheng Huai, and her son is Zheng Huai's long-term follower. Her presence here shows that Zheng Huai is also nearby.

"My wife ordered my son to accompany my brother to Jinling. He is going to the Imperial College to study soon. I don't worry about it, so I will send them here!" Chunqin said happily, and then asked: "What about you, why are you here?"

Mother He smiled, took Chu Ying's hand, and raised it in front of Chunqin as if showing off, "Guess who this is?"

Chu Ying took off her veil, smiled at Chunqin, and called out, "Mama Qiu."

"Ah, this, is this our second cousin? I haven't seen you for a year or two. How come you are so tall, half a head taller than me? The longer you are, the more beautiful you are. If you don't tell me, how can I Recognize it!" Chunqin was excited, and was about to say something, when someone shouted from behind, "Mother Qiu, you're on the boat, who are you talking to over there?"

"Hey, come here..." Mother Chou responded quickly, looking up and down Xuanying, she seemed very excited, "Miss Biao, you are waiting here, I will go and tell my brother, if I know I can come here I don't know how happy he is to meet you here." She said and left quickly.

"Cousin is here too? He's going to the Imperial College to study? Didn't my aunt not allow him to come to Jinling?" If she hadn't happened to meet here, Su Ying would have almost forgotten that she has relatives from her uncle's family; but since she met It's absolutely impossible not to say hello; since this second cousin has come to Jinling to study, there must be many days to deal with him in the future.

"Cousin of the Xuan family!"

Hearing his voice before seeing him, Zheng Huai had already boarded the boat. Hearing Mama Chou's words, he immediately stepped over the gangway in three steps at a time. Because he was wearing a long gown, he had to lift his front and run fast. He came over; and because he ran too fast, he almost didn't fall down, causing Xuanying to burst out laughing, and turned his face away quickly; it's been a year since Zheng Huai has grown so much taller that Xuanying almost recognizes him. I can't leave him.

As soon as he saw Xiuying, Zheng Huai's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked her up and down, "Sister Xiuying, I still don't believe that Mother Qiu said it was you! I haven't seen you for more than a year, how are you?" You have grown taller and more beautiful, if I meet you elsewhere, I really dare not recognize you"

!Sister, you don’t even know that it was I talking to my mother every day at home, so she allowed me to study in Guojianzi; I thought, since I arrived in Jinling, I should be closer to you, and I didn’t expect to meet you on the way up!You said, is this our fate? "

After talking for a long time, he finally came to his senses, "By the way, why are you here? Are you also going out to see relatives? Where are the fourth aunt and cousin Xiu?"

"Mother and sister went to Kyoto, don't you know?" Xiu Ying was a little surprised.

"Go to the capital? Well, what are they doing in the capital? Why don't you go? Aren't you with them?" Zheng Huai also felt very strange.

It was only then that Xiuying realized that her mother's remarriage might not have been told to her nephew Zheng Huai by her aunt at all; after all, in a family, this is not an honorable thing, so there is no need to talk about it everywhere.Then Zheng Huai didn't know about her staying in Jinling alone, maybe even her aunt didn't know about it.

"I didn't want to go to the capital with them, so I asked my mother to leave some property for me; now I live with my grandmother of the Xuan family, as well as my younger brothers and sisters, in Jiama Lane, Chongzuo Sanfang, not far from your school. Far; if you have a day off in the future, you can come to have a meal at home; my clan brother Yuan Xu cooks well; of course, I will let him cook when there are distinguished guests at home; he is also studying now , is preparing for the county examination, you can exchange ideas." Xiuying introduced her current situation to him.

"No, why can't I understand? Why did you leave the property to you? Could it be a separation? The fourth aunt and cousin Xiu went to the capital, and they never came back?" Zheng Huai was a little puzzled.

"You're right, it's a separation; as for my mother, she's remarried; of course, no matter who she remarries to, it's still your aunt, and we're still relatives." She glanced behind him , "They are urging you to get on the boat over there, why don't you go?"

"Damn it! That's my family's boat, I can leave whenever I want!" Zheng Huai was angry, "Don't pay attention to them!" Then he asked Xiuying anxiously, "Fourth aunt remarried? What about the rest of the family?" How can you live with such a large family? The fourth aunt left some property for you, so what is it worth?"

"Cousin, don't worry, how can there be so much attention to life in this life? There is a poor way to live, and a rich way to live. I have a big family with me, as long as I can eat and wear warm clothes; I am doing very well now, with the care of my grandmother, With brothers and sisters supporting her, it's not as pitiful as you think!" Xiuying smiled, and when she saw Liu Xianglian coming from a distance, she bid farewell to Zheng Huai, "Cousin, I'm leaving, see you in Jinling!"

"Hey, cousin!" Zheng Huai quickly stopped her, "You take my family's boat, let's go together, we can talk along the way!"

"That won't work. My stuff and luggage are all on the boat here! Besides, this is a boat I know, and it will arrive in a day or two anyway, so there's no need to carry it up and down." Xuanying declined politely.

However, Zheng Huai stopped her, "It's nothing to worry about. I have a lot of porters and handymen here. They just carry the luggage. I'll tell them to go." Then he ordered the long follower Xiaoliu who came over, "Go , call a few people over to help the cousin carry the luggage."

"Who is going to carry the luggage?" Liu Xianglian asked coldly when she had arrived before her.

Zheng Huai saw that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him; he also saw that although he was about the same age as himself, he was handsome and beautiful, like an orchid orchid and a jade tree, standing with his second cousin, a true pair of people, he I couldn't help feeling sour, so I sneered, "I said, what's the matter?" Although he was born in a merchant, the Zheng family raised him as a seed for reading since he was a child, and basically never let him participate in the intrigues outside. He also loves this youngest son very much, he asks for whatever he wants, and he actually develops his ignorant temperament.

"Then you have to ask me first if I agree or not!" Liu Xianglian straightened her shoulders and clenched her fists as she spoke.

"Hey, you're not mean? Who are you?" Zheng Huai waved to a few servants who came behind him, "Come here, leave two people for me to greet this little boy, and the rest to carry the luggage!"

"Hey, don't get me wrong," Chu Ying hurriedly pulled Liu Xianglian who was ready to go, "Don't be angry, this is my cousin of the Zheng family, you may have seen him before; he just wants me to take his family's boat !" On the one hand, he persuaded Zheng Huai, "Cousin, don't you remember him? He is Mr. Liu Xianglian Liu. He used to come and go to your house often, and the old lady even went to the church on her birthday!"

"A party? An actor? No, I said cousin, why do you get involved with people like them? They are like this, they are just bright on the stage, but there are a lot of dirty people off the stage! Don't look at him as handsome. , that is, a more decent husband!"

Zheng Huai was still eloquent, Chu Ying thought, this is too bad!Seeing that Liu Xianglian had punched Zheng Huai to the ground, she was holding Liu Xianglian's arm, but he threw it away, staggered a few steps, and managed to avoid falling on the river beach.

"Liu Xianglian!" Xuanying got angry, stomping her feet and shouting.

Liu Xianglian was originally an unruly character, so she punched Zheng Huai first without hesitation, but when she saw that Xiuying was thrown away by him, she hurried up to support him, so Xuanying took the opportunity to persuade him, "I don't know what my cousin said. Whether it's serious or not, if you punch him, it's even, there's no need to be stubborn, okay? Otherwise, I won't be a good man in the future!"

Liu Xianglian asked Xiuying with a sneer, "If I let him go, can he let me go? Take a look!"

Seeing Zheng Huai being lifted up from the ground, pointing at Liu Xianglian, he said to the servants beside him angrily, "Call me! If you don't pay for this kid today, grandpa won't be named Zheng!"

So Xiao Liu was left to support Zheng Huai, and the rest of the people rushed towards Liu Xianglian shouting and clamoring. Xuanying wanted to stand in front of him in desperation, but was pushed aside roughly by him. Loudly said to those people: "Hurry up and go, you can't beat him!"

But these people are not willing to listen, they almost rush forward, since the young master has ordered them, they don't care about punching and kicking, vowing to beat this person half to death; in Liu Xianglian's eyes, these people are like mud pigs and mangy dogs, just Seeing him dodging around, but with three moves and two moves, he beat the group of people lying on the sand of the river beach, some with broken arms and legs, some on the ground, some dogs chewing mud, some flying far away, all of them were in a panic Unbearable.

Seeing Zheng Huai still yelling and cursing in the distance, Liu Xianglian wanted to walk towards him again, but was persuaded by Xiu Ying and Mama He; Zheng Huai knew that Liu Xianglian was not easy to mess with.Because he was going to study in the Imperial College, he only brought a dozen or so ordinary servants with him on this trip, and now half of them are discounted here, presumably there is no bargain for the rest, so he had to run quickly to the boat while cursing.

But he couldn't let go of Xiuying, so he said from a distance: "Cousin, don't let this little boy fool you. When I arrive in Jinling, I'll go home and look for you. When I settle down there, we will have more Come and get close; after a few months, my father will also come here, and I have something important to mention to him!"

Liu Xianglian thought he was noisy, so she wanted to go there anyway and teach him a lesson. Seeing this, Zheng Huai hurriedly jumped onto the deck of the ship, ordered people to start the boat, and leaned on the side of the ship, still cursing endlessly.Seeing that Liu Xianglian couldn't be persuaded no matter what, Xiu Ying simply pushed him, "Go, with your skill, it's easy to jump on the boat and kill him, anyway, he offended you, it doesn't matter if he is my cousin or not! If you don't beat him to death, I will look down on you!" After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, ignoring him.

Seeing that Xu Ying was really angry, Liu Xianglian had no choice but to give up and catch up to her, "Why, maybe he is dirty, so why don't I teach him a lesson? If it were someone else, I would have beaten him long ago. Parents don't even recognize it!"

Xuan Ying sneered, "It's my face? Well, I also know that Liu Shaoxia has great fists and feet. Even I, I have to stay away from you in the future. When I don't like it, I can't stand it. fist!"

Outside, Liu Xianglian was not easy to talk about, so she had to follow her into the boat step by step. Xiuying went straight into the cabin, and ordered Mother He to close the door, as if swearing to ignore him; Explain a few words, but he is cold and arrogant by nature, and it is not his strong point to be a little fugitive, so he only stood in front of the door for a while, and then left, which made Chu Ying so angry that he didn't sleep well in the middle of the night.

On the afternoon of the second day, the boat docked at Yanziwu, Jinling, which was closer to Niaoyi Lane.Chu Ying hung up on the shop wholeheartedly, only thanked Chen Jing after seeing him, and didn't say hello to Liu Xianglian, rented a carriage and went directly to the shop.

When I went to the pharmacy, I found that everything was in order. Du Zhong and Yin Rong were talking at the counter, and a few young apprentices were cleaning up. Even Chu Xiang was wiping around with a rag.Chu Ying was funny, and hugged her from behind, "Xiangxiang, I'm back!"

"Ah!" Chu Xiang was taken aback, and when he realized it was Chu Ying, he was overjoyed, "It's my sister!" Throwing the rag in his hand, he immediately turned around and hugged Chu Ying, and said affectionately, "Sister, why are you so angry?" Come back? Xiang'er is afraid that my sister will not want us!"

"How come!" Chu Ying smiled and kissed her small round face, "I like Xiang'er the most, why would I leave you alone!"

Yin Rong and Du Zhong came out from the counter, and they chatted and laughed for a while, and even Yuan Xu, who was studying in the backyard, also came out quickly. Chu Ying has been living at the pharmacy these days when he is out.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Chu Ying smiled and expressed her gratitude to everyone, and then began to distribute the gifts brought to them. Almost everyone got a share, even the little apprentices got rewards, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.

"Hey, where is Master?" Chu Ying asked, seeing Fu Shan everywhere.

"Mr. Fu said he has something important to do, so he has been away from the shop for four or five days; these few days, his apprentices have come here in turn." Yinrong told her.

"Oh, so that's the case." Remembering that Fu Shan's whereabouts were erratic in the past, and it was normal to be away for a while at this time, Chu Ying didn't think much about it.

Yuan Xu cooks himself again, and prepares a table of meals. Chu Ying is already hungry and eats very comfortably; because she has to take stock of all the accounts she has been away for more than a month, Chu Ying decided to live here tonight and return to Jiama Lane tomorrow morning Visiting grandma and brother.

Due to the exhaustion of the journey, Chu Ying fell asleep early, and slept so darkly that she didn't know the time. She heard Yin Rong call her in a trance, "Girl, wake up! There is something urgent!"

He heard a familiar voice say lazily: "If she still doesn't wake up, splash her face with cold water!"
