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

I don't know what Xiuying and Xichun said. At night, Xichun stayed in Ningguo Mansion, and she took the initiative to find Jia Zhen, "Sister-in-law has always treated me very kindly. Now that she is sick, you and Rong'er both I have something to do, so I'm going to stay here and take care of her."

Jia Zhen has obviously lost a lot of weight during this period, and she is haggard and depressed. It seems that he is really sad about the death of his daughter-in-law. It is rare for a person like him to have such genuine feelings.After being reminded by his sister, he thought of Youshi's illness, although she was probably faking it; but no matter what happened, no matter if it was him, Rong'er, or this stepwife, everyone's heart It's not easy; she has always been a docile and forbearing person, and it is impossible for her to make a fuss like Sister Feng with open fire and a stick. She is probably angry in her heart, and he just doesn't know what to do.

As for the younger sister's sudden mention of coming to take care of You Shi, Jia Zhen also felt strange in her heart. After all, the two siblings have always been very indifferent. It's all nonchalant.He himself is a person without much patience, and he often beats and scolds his son Jia Rong, but he doesn't care much, let alone this younger sister?It's hard for You Shi, willing to take care of this younger sister with all her heart, so as not to make others laugh at her.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty towards You Shi, so he said in a hoarse voice: "Excellent. Your sister-in-law has been working hard, and her father just left a few years ago; she wanted not to cause trouble to the house, The funeral was also very frugal; in the future, you will come to accompany her more, it is also your sister-in-law's favor; she is very kind, and she cares for the poor and the weak, even if you don't come here often, she often mentions you to me , let me take care of you for my father's sake, and say that you usually have an older brother, so don't be any worse than other sisters. If you have anything to do in the future, just come and tell me, if Rong'er is disrespectful to you Come on, tell me too, and I'll scold him."

At the end, he said with some emotion: "Our East Mansion was originally underpopulated, and now there are no good daughters-in-law; Rong'er will naturally continue to grow up, and I don't know when it will increase the number of people; When you are free, you should go home more, or stay here for a longer time; the ancestors over there have nothing to say when they love you, but we are close relatives, so don't avoid us." Xichun's initiative The show of favor was an accident, and while people like Jia Zhen were moved, they also said the words of five of these people.

Xichun agreed, but didn't leave, just looked at Jia Zhen; Jia Zhen felt strange, "Why, do you have anything else to say?"

Xichun hesitated for a while, and then said: "The old lady of the You family, as well as the second aunt and third aunt, are all at the house now; although they are not sister-in-law's mother and sister, the sister-in-law's family has no one to rely on, so they are also valued But I heard from my sister-in-law that Rong'er was very disrespectful to her two aunts, and she was very disrespectful to her. The third aunt was fine, she was not here usually, and when she met Rong'er like this, she just treated her indifferently. , or speak harshly; the second aunt is soft-tempered, and she is afraid of offending Rong'er, she usually just hides, and sometimes she is so angry that she cries. My brother will tell Rong'er not to do this. This is a family If I hear these gossip outside, even I won’t be able to come here in the future, I’m afraid people will arrange me too!”

Jia Zhen was embarrassed when she heard this.Mrs. You and her second sister are always wandering in front of her eyes, and the second sister is so stunning, why didn't he have any dirty thoughts?It's just that Qin Keqing was in the way ahead, and he still put his heart on his daughter-in-law, so he didn't have time to get involved; even if he knew that Rong'er sometimes flirted with this second aunt, he just didn't know—who told him to take advantage of it? What about the son and daughter-in-law, and the son is not allowed to have other fun?

It was old lady Nayou. When Rong'er and Second Aunt were teasing, she sometimes pretended to be asleep, and sometimes she just walked away by herself. Doesn't this mean that she acquiesced?Since their two mothers and daughters are catching up, what else can he say?

But hearing Xichun's words, it seems that the second and third sisters are not happy?He knew the third sister, if it wasn't necessary, she wouldn't even enter the door of Ningguo Mansion, why didn't the second sister want to?It was precisely because the second sister and the old lady had an ambiguous attitude, and he had always looked down upon them, so he ignored them.

But sister Xichun is still young, how can she know that there are so many things?Contacted that the third sister had just arrived in Ningguo Mansion today, Jia Zhen finally realized, "These things you said were all taught by you by the third sister? What else did she say?"

"Third sister talks a lot, but I'm too young to understand; third sister said, if you have a heart, brother, she is willing to tell you about the current situation in these two prefectures; brother, you don't know anything. The third sister is a powerful person, I heard that her name is known even in the palace!" Xichun said, and simply sat down on the chair next to Jia Zhen, if outsiders saw it, they were not like brothers and sisters , It really looks like a father and daughter.

"Oh? Where did this start? Why does the palace know her name? In terms of family background, she is not good enough to be drafted? Doesn't their family have any backing in the palace?" Jia Zhen was very strangeness.

"I don't know about this. But the third sister showed me a pair of cards, which can enter and leave the Xiangguo princess mansion at any time. The third sister said that the princess invited her to visit the mansion when she came to Beijing this time! Brother , now that our ancestors worry about it day and night, they only worry about sister Yuanchun in the palace, why don't we ask the third sister, maybe she can know something about the situation in the palace?" Xichun is a child after all, and she trusts Xuanying unconditionally It's also very simple.

"Well, how could she have anything to do with the palace?" Jia Zhen thought for a while, puzzled, but it was obvious that there was something active in his heart; He has a real job but no real power; he also knows that he is not decent, that literature cannot become martial arts, so he puts Yuanchun's affairs first, and only hopes that Yuanchun will be favored once. How much can he get some light, and support the show of Ningrong Second House, don't let the glory of these lives be defeated by him.

"Tell your sister-in-law that I will go to see her tomorrow, and I will find a better doctor for her. During this period of time, the affairs are so complicated that I haven't taken care of her. You have to say something nice for me." Jia Zhen thought for a while, then said to Xichun: "How about this, I'll have someone tidy up a courtyard with a servant, and let you live with the third sister; if you are afraid of others gossiping, you can live with the third sister Sister and son go in and out together, lie down together, and she has nothing to do with others, so she is not allowed to come near your yard. After all, this is still your home, so you don't have to have a place to live; what do you think?"

Xichun thought about it, and agreed, but still said: "If Third Sister leaves, I'll go back there."

Jia Zhen had no choice but to agree, and Xichun left satisfied.

In the afternoon of the next day, Jia Zhen really cooked a table of noodles and invited the whole family to have dinner.Jia Rong said that she had to keep someone to take care of her outside, so she didn't come, and Jia Zhen didn't care about him; although Youshi excused her illness, Jia Zhen came to see her in person, and invited a familiar imperial physician to see her, and the imperial physician could only see her. It doesn't matter if Youshi is upset with her stomach, so Jia Zhen forced her to eat together; so besides Jia Zhen and his wife, there are Xichun, Zheng Shi, second sister and third sister at the table; A concubine, Wen Luan Peifeng, was serving and eating, and the rest of the servants were cleared out.

"This time the housework is complicated, and the eldest grandma is ill. Thanks to my mother for helping me take care of her inside and out; in the future, I will need my mother's help in many places, and the whole family will not have to see each other. The son-in-law here gave me some food and drink, which is more or less considered Some kindness; my mother, please use it slowly!" Jia Zhen asked someone to pour a glass of wine for Zheng Shi first, and then raised her glass.

Mrs. Zheng was flattered, and immediately raised her glass and drank it all with a smile. In terms of age, Mrs. Zheng is younger than Jia Zhen, but Mrs. Zheng finds it very useful for Jia Zhen to take care of each other. , she felt that she couldn't bear it, and immediately encouraged her two daughters, "Second sister, third sister, we are usually taken care of by your brother-in-law, and now he still treats us to a banquet; are you two fools? Hurry up and give it to brother-in-law." A toast?" As he spoke, he held the jug and poured wine for the two daughters sitting on the left and the right, and then got down to pour wine for Jia Zhen.

Xiu Ying had already taken her wine pot in her hand, and said with a smile: "What mother said is very true; it's just that mother is an elder, so there is no need to pour the wine herself, I'll do it!" She got off her seat and walked to Behind You Shi and Jia Zhen, he poured wine for them respectively, and poured some for Xichun, then raised his own glass, and invited the second sister, "Let's toast my sister and her husband together; if you don't love your sister, , why does my brother-in-law take care of our mother and daughter in every possible way; now the fourth girl is here, it is really a family reunion, and the fourth girl is close to me, I just borrow flowers to present Buddha, and respect you together, I wish my sister and brother-in-law harmony and beauty, I wish the four The girl is getting more and more beautiful and smarter, come here, I will do it first as a respect!" She held on to her sleeves, drank the wine in the glass, showed the bottom of the glass to everyone, and said with a smile: "I am It is sincere, it depends on whether you are willing to take advantage of it."

"Well said." Since the beginning of the banquet, Youshi had a dull face and did not speak, but suddenly became interested, "Third sister is indeed a straightforward person, I like you like this; according to me Look, this way of being a person and doing things, everyone pays attention to one's own position and keeping one's duty, and the third sister is doing very well; even if I have stomach problems, I will drink your cup today." She raised her glass as well. She drank it all in one gulp; she used to think that Mrs. Zheng was too flattering, and she couldn't say anything, but now it's her own daughter who is talking, and she just took the opportunity to beat her. nice.

In the final analysis, the clay figurine is still a bit fiery. Not only does she excuse her illness, but she also takes advantage of this time to bring out what should be said and what should not be said, and explain clearly.She felt that the third sister was quite right. After all, she was the grandma who was in charge of the house. Even if it was Jia Zhen, she had to let him know what her bottom line was.

Jia Zhen glanced at her, then at Mrs. You, did not speak, and drank quickly; Shi stood there holding the cup, looking a little embarrassed.Xiu Ying ignored her, filled everyone's wine glasses, and then returned to her seat, "Brother-in-law treats us to dinner in a serious way, this is the first time, I'm much better today Have two cups!" Saying that, he greeted the second sister and Xichun, "Eat, don't waste your brother's heart!"

According to the rules of the family, no one talks during the meal. After the meal, You Shi said to Zheng Shi: "My mother will take the second sister down first, here we have something to talk to the third sister; sister Xichun, you stay too."

Mrs. Zheng felt bored, so she had to drag her second sister away; Mrs. You asked Wen Luan Peifeng to retreat as well, then she looked at Jia Zhen and said, "If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Sister Xichun and I are not outsiders." "Third sister also said that this matter is related to the rise and fall of the two governments, and if the nest is overthrown, there will be no eggs, so it doesn't hurt to let us listen."

Jia Zhen contemplated for a while, still thinking about how to speak, Xiu Ying said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I know, what you are most worried about now is the empress in the palace, after all, the honor and disgrace of the two houses belong to her; but Don't worry, I told the old lady over there a long time ago that she is a lucky person, and the good news will come in two days, so you don't have to worry about it."

"You told the old ancestor? Why didn't I know anything about it?" Jia Zhen was very surprised. Since there was such good news, why didn't the old ancestor tell him?He is the head of the clan!

"I don't know about this. I'm afraid that the old lady thinks what I said is inaccurate, and she is afraid that it will leak out and cause trouble; in fact, it's nothing, it will happen sooner or later; if you don't believe me, just wait and see, at most it will not exceed a month. The empress will definitely be the head of the first palace; when the time comes, the two houses will be full of flowers and brocades, and the fire will cook the oil, and there will be a good time to live!"

"Really?" Jia Zhen and Youshi looked at each other, and then at Xichun. The three of them were all happy from the bottom of their hearts. After all, this was a great happy event; In the midst of grief, she repeatedly asked Xiuying, "How did you know? Did you do it right?"

"Certainly, my brother-in-law will find out in another month, so why bother?" Suying said as she took out the signboard of Princess Xiangguo's Mansion from her sleeve, let several people take a look, then lowered her voice Said: "Although I have revealed some news to you, this is your own family business. You must know that everything may change before the decree comes down; so don't tell anyone about this matter; My wife knew about it, and she told no one. You know what I mean?"

The three of them nodded quickly, and then Xiu Ying put away the sign and said to Jia Zhen: "Brother-in-law, there is something that I don't know whether to say or not."

"Oh? What's the trouble? If there's anything I can do for you, just tell me." Jia Zhen just heard the good news, so she said straightforwardly.

"Although this matter has nothing to do with me, it seems to involve me now." Xiuying said with a sigh, "Brother-in-law, Feng Ziying, how is your relationship with him?"

"Feng Ziying? Isn't that the son of Wuwei General Feng Tang? He has always been in close contact with the two governments. He recommended the imperial physician who treated his daughter-in-law some time ago; why, did you offend him? I think he has a very bad temper. Well, he doesn't look like the kind of person who causes trouble at will?" Jia Zhen asked curiously.

"I didn't offend him, but for some reason, he discussed with Second Lord Lian that he would put me under house arrest in these two mansions; my brother-in-law must not know about this, right?" Xuan Ying looked at Jia Zhen attentively.

"You are under house arrest? No way, what is this for? You have nothing to do with him. Besides, what's the use of placing you under house arrest? Who are you going to threaten? Now that your old mother and second sister are also in the mansion, he can threaten Who is it?" Jia Zhen was very surprised, it's okay if he didn't know about this matter, the point is, it's very unbelievable.

"I also want to know why he wants to put me under house arrest, and who can I threaten. But it's true, if brother-in-law doesn't believe it, call the second master Lian over there, and you'll know when you ask, don't just say I found out I told you." Xiuying smiled, and already had a vague outline in her heart; for people in the two prefectures, she was insignificant; for her mother and second sister, she might have a certain amount of weight, but What are the two of them worthy of being threatened?Thinking of the people she and Feng Ziying knew together, it was only Liu Xianglian, so the answer was ready to come out, Feng Ziying put her under house arrest to threaten Liu Xianglian!

But Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian are not very good brothers, do they have a life-threatening friendship?

What is the reason for this?Moreover, why did he think that he could threaten Liu Xianglian with himself?

Could it be that Liu Xianglian had said something to him?So, he felt that to Liu Xianglian, he was a very important person?

Thinking of this, Xuan Ying felt a ripple in her heart.

Was it because of what Liu Xianglian was doing that had conflicts and disagreements with him, so Feng Ziying thought of using herself to coerce Liu Xianglian into submitting?

Could Feng Ziying overestimate her role?

Her own mother was nothing more than that to herself, so in Liu Xianglian's eyes, what was she worth?
