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

Xuanying thought for a long time, and finally nodded, Xiuxiu was relieved, and carefully put on the little clothes for her younger sister, "Although the weather is getting hotter, but this is on the river, there is a river wind, worry about it." Don’t catch a cold. I’m laying a mat on the ground to sleep tonight, lest I accidentally touch your wound in the middle of the night. You’re better off, I’ll call you tomorrow morning.”

The next morning, before dawn, Xiuxiu woke up Xiuying. The two sisters tidied up and knelt in front of the cabin door where Zheng lived.

"Mother, my sister has come to apologize to you." Xiuxiu said, touching her sister.

Xiu Ying had no choice but to say in a low voice, "Mother."

Xiuxiu was dissatisfied, and touched her again, so Xiuying had to raise her voice again, "Mother, my daughter knows she's wrong."

There was no sound in the cabin, except for Mrs. Zheng coughing lightly.

Xiuxiu hurriedly said, "My sister is still young and ignorant, so mother will forgive her." Then she mustered up her courage and added, "If mother refuses to agree, we sisters will never be able to kneel down."

There was simply no coughing in the cabin.

After touching for about half an hour, the sky had gradually brightened, and only then did I hear Mrs. Zheng's voice calling for someone to wash up.After a while, Mrs. Zheng went out and looked at the two sisters kneeling on the ground expressionlessly, "If you want to kneel, kneel for a while longer. I haven't eaten early in the morning. I'll be happy when I finish eating." Talk to you guys." One side went downstairs.

It was misty and rainy at this time, and after a while, the clothes of the two sisters were all wet.

Xuan Ying turned to look at her sister, "Why are you bothering? She is not angry with you."

Xixiu didn't speak, but just gave her sister a consoling look, "Keep quiet. Mother will see our sincerity, and she will forgive you."

After an unknown amount of time, Mrs. Zheng came up with twists and turns.

"Yo, you are actually still kneeling here, it seems you are sincere!" Mrs. Zheng sneered, and walked half a circle around the two sisters.

Xiuying lowered her head and said nothing, while Xiuxiu raised her head and looked at her mother pleadingly.

"Forget it, you guys get up." Zheng said lightly.

Xuanxiu was overjoyed, "Mother forgave my sister?" she hurried to pull her sister who was kneeling on the ground.

After kneeling for a long time, both of their legs and feet were numb, and they managed to stand still.

Mrs. Zheng raised her hand suddenly, and only heard a "slap", a clear slap fell on her sister Xiuxiu's tender face, both sisters were stunned.

"I only thought you were obedient, but when did you learn this trick? You can't afford to kneel? Are you trying to coerce me?" Mrs. Zheng put her hips on her hips and stared at Xiuxiu, "Is it a good face for you? Are you like this?" , still expect me to hurt you?"

Xiuxiu covered her painfully beaten face and began to cry, "Daughter dare not!"

"And you!" Mrs. Zheng pinched Xiuying again through her clothes, "You are a wolf-hearted thing! Why should you give away the silver that my mother earned for her face? Tell me, you give away the silver." What are you going to do for that Liu? Does it depend on how well-born he is? You don’t learn well at such a young age, you bitch!”

She looked at Xuanying coldly, "Wait, I have fulfilled your wish. After a few years, after you grow up, I will get the money back sooner or later! I feel bad, and none of you Think about it!" He opened the hatch and walked in.

Hearing Zheng Shi's words, Xiuying's expression was numb, as if she was ignorant and unmoved, but Xiuxiu looked terrified, hugged her sister, put her head in her arms, but only dared to groan. Weeping, unable to speak a word.

Chu Ying didn't struggle, and let her hug her for a while, then said indifferently, "Sister, look, no matter what we do, she will never forgive us. Let's go back first."

Although it is said that merchants value profits over righteousness, it is even more extreme not to think that Mrs. Zheng is an extreme person, and she usually doesn't see it clearly, but when it comes to critical points, she doesn't even believe her own daughter at all, and only has these silver treasures in her eyes.

From her point of view now, these dumb things are her lifeblood.The reason is that Zheng lost his father when he was young, and his father was as good as he was, and his half-brothers and sisters were all superficial.She was discriminated against when she was in her natal family in Yangzhou, and she lacked pampering after marrying Xi Zongzhao. She lacked a sense of security, lacked the ability to love, and never experienced the feeling of being loved. This is what she was destined to be in her life. cause of tragedy.

Xiuxiu hugged her younger sister, crying so hard that she couldn't speak a word.Since the death of her father, her mother seemed to be a different person, and she had also changed from a delicate flower in the greenhouse to a weed falling in the wind and rain.Without scheming and lack of assertiveness, she is like a vine, born to cling to and depend on others.

Although she has already been engaged, there are still two years before the agreed date, and the Zhang family has not taken the initiative to bring up the marriage; her father is gone, and the only thing she can rely on now is her mother, but at this time, her mother is vicious. Being unfamiliar again made her feel panicked, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

Under Xiuying's utmost comfort, Xiuxiu finally stopped crying.The two returned to the cabin, and when Xuanxiu calmed down completely, Xuanying asked jokingly, "My sister was docile and obedient since she was a child, so she never got a finger. Now my sister was just slapped, why are you so sad? You Seeing that I am a younger sister, I am much more solid, and my mother pinches and beats me, and I am fine." Knowing that she was making fun of herself, Xixiu forced herself to smile, and after a while, she was still worried, "Sister, you have always been a People who have a way, tell me, what should we do so that my mother can calm down? I really have no choice."

Xu Ying shook her head with some emotion, "Sister, haven't you ever thought that one day, we can also be free from anyone's anger, don't worry about anyone's thoughts, and do what we want, with what we like? Do you want to live a life like this?"

Xuanxiu's eyes were blank, "Why can't I understand what my sister is talking about? As a woman, how can I live such a life? Before we women leave the court, we naturally have to obey our parents. Willing to act; in the future, when you go to your husband's house, you have to treat your husband as the heaven, be filial to your parents-in-law, and take care of your children. How can we only care about ourselves?"

Xuan Ying looked at her with some pity, "It doesn't matter if my sister doesn't understand. One day, my sister can live to this extent, so she can take care of her and protect her. Sister, remember what I said today, and think twice before doing anything in the future. To do things for others, you must have your own opinions, don't trust others, and don't make mistakes. Does my sister know?"

Xiuxiu nodded hesitantly, "You read more books than I do, and you know more. What you said is naturally very good. But what should we do now? Mother is still angry!" It seems that the uneasiness in Xiuxiu's heart has not diminished a little bit, no matter what Xuanying said, she can bring it back to this matter.

Xiuying thought to herself, if she couldn't coax Mrs. Zheng well, her sister might not be safe along the way.So I had no choice but to comfort her, "Sister, don't worry, in the evening, I will find my own way to make mother happy."

When Xiuxiu heard this, she was immediately overjoyed, "Your sister is serious? Do you really have a plan?"

Seeing that her younger sister nodded affirmatively, she was greatly relieved, "Sure enough, my younger sister is smart, I can't think of any good way anyway." Then she asked Xiuying curiously, "Tell me quickly, what is it? What? Can I come with you? Or is there anything I can do to help?"

Xiuying smiled slightly, "No need for sister, I can do it by myself. Then you can stay in the cabin, don't go anywhere, and don't make a sound. Even if the sky is pierced outside, you just don't know , let alone ignore it. Do you understand?"

Xuanxiu was very surprised, "Sister, you will not do something shocking again, right?"

Xiuying sighed, "Sister, what happened yesterday was really an accident, because I misread someone. But I promise, this will never happen again. Besides, the worst result is that Is my mother still ignoring us? My sister will trust me again. Since I was a child, my sister still doesn’t know what kind of person I am? What I want to do, I have to do everything possible. And some things, even now If I suffer a loss for a while, I will make up for it in the future." She thought to herself, including, of course, that Liu Erlang who made her suffer so much.

Xixiu thought about it, and she really had no better way, so she had to let her younger sister make troubles, "You have to promise me first, don't be disrespectful to mother."

Xiu Ying immediately assured, "That's natural."

"Alright then, I'll go to bed early after dinner. If you coax mother well, I'll go to say hello tomorrow morning." Xuanxiu said in a soft voice.

"That's right!" Su Ying hugged her sister and kissed her, "Come on, give me a kiss, my sister will wait for my good news!"

Xuanxiu's noodles flew pink, and pushed her away with an ah, "You little girl, where did you learn it, you are so ashamed!"

Xiuying made a face at her, "Of course I read it in the book—sister, why should you be ashamed, in two years you will marry someone, and you will be so shy every day, but what can my brother-in-law of the Zhang family do! "

Xiuxiu was so ashamed that she chased and beat her, "You also said that you speak freely every day. I have never seen it again. Which family's daughter is as shameless as you!"

Xiuying hid and smiled, "I'm not ashamed anymore, I didn't go outside to say, our sisters who are close relatives, what can't we say?" While holding her loose hair bun, she repeatedly begged for forgiveness, "My dear sister, I will never say anything again." If you say such things, please forgive me!"

The two sisters laughed and quarreled for a while before giving up.

After dinner, Xiuxiu finally went to Zheng's cabin again.Mrs. Zheng still ignored her coldly, Xiuxiu was bored, so she had to come back disgruntled, opened the curtain to look at the river scene for a while, then stayed in a daze for a while, watching the sky getting dark, and then she was very preoccupied Falling asleep, but not falling asleep, always paying attention to the movement outside.

When Xiuxiu came to greet Mrs. Zheng, Xiuying also went out.Climb up the gangway on the second floor, and you will reach the top of the boat, which is exactly where Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian saw Xiuying standing when they boarded the boat that day.

The sound of sails and shadows of oars, the river is flat and the water is wide, and the breeze is blowing, it is very pleasant.

Everything was exceptionally peaceful.

Su Ying smiled slightly.
