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

"What I do is very dangerous. Maybe one day, I will die quietly. Since I set foot on this road, I have never told anyone the truth, except Master and you."

Liu Xianglian held her hand, and said calmly: "Speaking of which, I have many friends, some from the Jianghu, and some from the princes' mansions, but these people can only talk for a while for entertainment, not for heart-to-heart; everyone I met Baoyu the other day when I went to repair Qin Zhong’s tomb. I met Baoyu in Jia’s house. But the matter of three or five hundred dollars is nothing more than talk, the world is cold, but that's all; just like Feng Ziying, who used to be a brother with me, but once his family was involved, he turned his head without hesitation Will come to deal with me; this is not to say how bad-hearted he is, each has his own difficulties."

His tone was so flat that he seemed to be talking about someone else's business.

"When I played a guest role as a military student in Prince Zhongshun's mansion, the Chief Historian Chen Song took a fancy to my skills, and then recommended me to Prince Zhongshun. Prince Zhongshun is Jinshang's younger brother and the emperor's confidant; knowing me After my family background, he arranged for me to join the Jinyi Army and become a small banner. Now that I have accumulated meritorious service, I have been granted a thousand households; the prince also promised me that when this matter is over, he will arrange for me to After a few years of training in the army, I will come back, and then he will help me win the title and reorganize the Jinyi Army; therefore, I have done a lot of things that should be done and should not be done."

Xiuying felt that Liu Xianglian was holding her hand tighter and tighter, "In the army, all I can do is not accept it at night; speaking of it, my great-grandfather started his family on this, but now that I am here In my previous life, except for me, those clan brothers are all taking the imperial examinations, and they still dislike me for failing to study. Can I not inherit the clothes of my ancestors? But then again, my great-grandfather also died on the battlefield in the end , When I go to the battlefield, I don't know if I can come back alive, so I can't delay you."

Saying that, Liu Xianglian looked at her, "If you want to wait for me, just wait, I will try my best to come back alive; if you don't want to, I can't force you, when the time comes, you will marry yourself, and you will act as if you never had me." ; Now, I am satisfied to be able to stay with you for a moment longer, and I don't ask for anything else."

Su Ying didn't speak.

After a while, she asked softly, "What if you don't go to the army?"

"If I don't go to the army, I won't be able to become a noble if I don't have military merits. In this way, I will be ashamed of you, my master's teaching, and my lord's respect. I am a man, making meritorious deeds is a big thing, so I have to go." Liu Xianglian said patiently.

"However, I didn't ask for this. You just want to be an ordinary brocade-clothed soldier with thousands of households. It's your duty to kill people and ransack your home. As for me, I'll open my pharmacy and be my midwife." , and bring up younger siblings well, wouldn’t that be good too?” Xiu Ying asked puzzled.

"It's very good, but not the best; I can't do it if I want to be inferior to others and look at people's faces." Liu Xianglian has always been a proud person, "Since I have walked this way, on this way, I It must be the one who goes the furthest; just like when wandering in the rivers and lakes, I only do random things and never try to please others."

"What's the best thing about this kind of thing? You might as well rebel!" Xiuying joked.

"What are you doing to rebel? That's not a good thing. I have a ready-made road and don't go, why should I go that way? I'm not a fool." Liu Xianglian glanced at her as she spoke, and said meaningfully: "Really For those who want to rebel, let him worry about it, let's just watch from the sidelines!"

Xuan Ying thought about it carefully. According to what he said, Prince Zhongshun, who caused Baoyu to be severely beaten, seemed to be a loyal minister. So, King Beijing, who is openly recruiting talents and looks as eye-catching as beautiful jade, has a different heart?But in the book, to everyone in the Jia family, it seems that King Beijing is a very good person.But who stipulates that a good person is a good person who treats the protagonists well?The good and the bad, the loyal and the treacherous, are only relative terms!

Thinking of this, Xuan Ying asked, "The King of Beijing..."

"Hush!" Liu Xianglian stopped her from speaking again, "You just know it in your heart, don't say it; now all parties are still ready to go, and they are all good on the surface. Now, Concubine Jia in the palace She is pregnant again, and the Jia family will still have a good time! The lord originally planned to use Jiang Yuhan's incident as a breakthrough point to question Jia Jiaxing, but suddenly this incident happened, and the lord didn't know what the emperor was thinking. Thinking about it, he stopped for the time being; Jiang Yuhan took the opportunity to redeem himself, bought some property in Red Sandalwood Castle, and got away, but this person is insignificant, that's how it is, as long as the prince thinks of him one day, he is I can’t escape; I’m still afraid when I think about it now. If I also fall into the same situation, I’m afraid that one day I will fall into the same situation as him. Therefore, this person must run forward and work hard to live in this world. , The fewer people who can decide your fate, the better."

"I see." Xiuying said, also took his hand, and said solemnly: "Anyway, be careful. As for me, don't worry, I won't marry so early; married I'm about to have a baby, I'm too young, it's not good for my health, and I'm afraid of danger; I have to wait until I'm over 20 before I think about these things."

Liu Xianglian was amused by her, "What you said is true? Then I have to wait for so many years? Can't it be earlier? When I come back from the army in two or three years, you are already 17 years old. It's not the right time. ?”

"No, no, I've made up my mind. If you can't wait, then you can marry someone else, I..." Before Xiuying finished speaking, Liu Xianglian reached out her hand again, hugged her in her arms, and pretended to be angry: " Even if I marry someone else, it has to be paid for me by you, otherwise I don't want it."

"Oh, you have a good idea!" Xuan Ying pushed him away again, "I'm here to tell you, if you dare to marry one more man, I dare to find another man, let's compare!"

"You're so young, why do you have so many strange ideas? I'm so ashamed for you!" Liu Xianglian looked at her with a smile, "I've never heard that a woman can find several men, so you dare to say that !"

"Why not? I am willing to put my heart and soul into it. Why can't you? It's not that I am flirtatious, but I ask you to keep yourself clean. Can't we be fair? If you don't want to, you don't have to mention this to me in the future. Wait for you In the future, if you become a prince, you are not allowed to take anything from girls, concubines, nurses, and wives, or gifts from elders given by others, if I find out, I will turn around and leave, and I will never give you a second look, understand?" Xuan Ying said angrily. .

"It's amazing, even better than the Jia family's second grandmother Lian!" Liu Xianglian said, holding her hand, "It's all up to you! It just so happens that I also have a weird, ordinary person, and I still don't like it." , I didn't want to go, I just fell in love with you!"

"Bah, it's so shameless, it's as if everyone must like you! Obviously, the first time I saw you, I hated you so much!"

"That's right, I'm just attractive, otherwise you wouldn't keep thinking about me, and slowly fall in love with me again!"

Xuan Ying made a gesture to hit him, but was hugged by him again, the two whispered tenderly, and after talking for a while, Xuan Ying suddenly remembered that when she came out to look for him, she wanted to ask about her second sister and Chen Jing .

"Chen Jing? Oh, he was in a hurry, so he left first; but this person is more careful and suspicious, I suspect he went to inquire about your second sister; he keeps asking about my second sister, how do I know anything " Liu Xianglian thought for a while, and said vaguely.

"So that's the case." Although she knew that the second sister was weak-tempered and wouldn't mind Chen Jing's prying of her, Xiu Ying felt uncomfortable at first, "My sister is going all out to show her ambition, so she won't gain his trust. It seems that their fate is just like this. You are right, being in a hurry is not a business, and we don't beg him; we don't need to talk to him, and we can choose a suitable person for Second Sister to marry later."

"Can't you wait any longer? Don't be so anxious? Besides, they didn't say anything, and these are just my guesses." Liu Xianglian persuaded.

"We are women. In this world, we are no better than you men. You can pick and choose as you like; before you say anything, let's leave it alone, and you can still keep my sister's name; if someone spreads something In other words, even if my sister jumped into this lake for nothing, she is not the same as me. Forget it, I won’t tell you so much, and you won’t understand. You still send me back, I won’t delay It's your business. Master, you have to watch carefully!" Chu Ying stood up as she spoke, walked outside the cabin, stepped on the window lattice of the water pavilion along the pedals, and climbed up.

"Be careful!" Liu Xianglian couldn't help looking up at her. Seeing her figure disappearing behind the window of the water pavilion, he was relieved. There was the faint sound of fighting and shouting, and seeing the flames soaring into the sky, and countless big black birds constantly flying up, circling silently above the water pavilion, it seemed very strange.

"Oops, could it be that they broke up with the master, so they made trouble? It is understandable that the flames are soaring, as long as there are some things to help the fire, but what is going on with these birds? There should be nothing weird, right? Master and brother There are only a dozen of them, and there are more than a dozen boats coming from Beijing Wangshuiyuan, I don't know what his intention is, is it true that he intends to come to fisherman for profit as Master said? Should I go there or not?" Master kept him here just in case, if there is an emergency and they want to leave this water garden, this boat is their way of retreat.

Although he had absolute confidence in his master, he was still uneasy. After thinking about it, he jumped up from the boat, went up to the water pavilion, and ran a few steps forward. He ran forward without hesitation, he didn't dare to sneak in the grass, the ghost knows if those evil Jianghu people brought some poisonous insects and wild animals, it would be ugly if they were bitten all at once.

Before Chu Ying had time to return to the yard, she also noticed the movement over there. She was in a hurry when she saw Liu Xianglian coming over, "I'll go over there to help Master, you wake up the second sister, you two go to the boat and wait. Anyway, we will talk about everything when we come; if we don't come tomorrow morning, you and the second sister will go first, and someone will help you!" He said and left quickly.

Xiu Ying originally had a lot of questions to ask him, but seeing that he was in a hurry, she had to let him go; although she also wanted to follow the past to have a look, but thinking about it would be troublesome, she might as well not go, so she hurried back to her room Call the second sister to get up.

The second sister was awakened from her dream, and asked in a daze, "What happened? It's not dawn yet, is it?"

"My good sister, it seems that someone will throw you into the lake later, and you still can't wake up! I don't even look at this place, how can you sleep so peacefully!" She said The second sister dragged her up from the couch, "Quick, there's no need to wash up, let's go to the boat!"

When she came to the water pavilion with her second sister, Xiuying encountered a difficulty. It was enough for her to jump on the boat alone, but now that there is another second sister, how can the two of them get off the boat?She was thinking about something, when she saw the boat move, a figure came out of the cabin suddenly, Xiuying was startled, the second sister even screamed, and the two sisters hugged each other tightly.

"Don't be afraid, it's me!" The visitor didn't expect the two to be so frightened, and quickly whispered: "Sister, have you forgotten, I am Chen Jing! We have met before, oh, yes, yours Servant Zhou Cheng, he is with me too!"

"You, why are you here suddenly? And Zhou Cheng? When did you come here? Why didn't I see you just now?" Xiuying looked around, and there were no boats around. How could they suddenly appear here? What about on board?

"Ahem, that, actually, Zhou Cheng and I were both in the back cabin just now, and you were talking to Brother Liu in the front cabin just now, so we are sorry to disturb you." I didn't hear anything just now, really!"

Xuanying rolled her eyes helplessly, and let go of the second sister angrily, "So what? I'm afraid you won't make a joke? My senior brother and I have passed the bright road with the master, and we are justified. , you don’t care about it!" She lifted her skirt and sat on the window sill, "Get out of the way, Senior Brother told me, Second Sister and I are going on the boat!"

"Well, can I help you?" Chen Jing said, quickly lifted up the hem of his clothes, stepped forward, and stretched out his hand to pick them up. Xuanying sneered, "I dare not trouble Mr. Chen. Besides, men and women accept each other." No dear, who are you? If we were touched by you for no reason, how can we reason? Zhou Cheng, what are you doing hiding behind? Come here, you catch the second sister below, and I can come down by myself! "

Chen Jing became anxious, "Zhou Cheng is also a man, why don't you shy away from him?"

"Is he the same as you? No, he is my baby brother, and I only treat him as my own brother." She then called Zhou Cheng, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you come and catch the second sister?" ?" Pushing the second sister to jump down again, "Quick, Zhou Cheng is below, just jump down, don't be afraid!"

Zhou Cheng didn't know why, so he hurriedly stepped forward; being pushed by Xiuying, the second sister was unprepared, and fell face to face, Zhou Cheng didn't expect that she fell like this, and was stunned, it was Chen Jing's skill Well, the reaction was quick, and he quickly stepped forward to catch the second sister, turned around beautifully on the bow, relieved his strength, and helped the second sister to land on the boat steadily; Xuanying jumped off immediately, and hurried forward Push him away, and protect the second sister behind her, "Okay, Mr. Chen, I know you are very skilled. I am in a hurry. Thank you for your help. We will thank you later!" She then pulled the second sister into the cabin Walk.

Chen Jing hurriedly followed, "Miss You San, actually I..."

"Stop!" Suying stopped, still protecting her second sister behind her, "I think I still know a little bit about people, but I didn't expect that I was wrong this time; that's right, at first, I thought I wanted to tell you about my second sister, but now, I have changed my mind; Mr. Chen, if there are any doubts and explanations about this kind of matter from the beginning, then it’s worth not to mention it, because I can’t see your sincerity.” As she spoke, she took her second sister's hand and got into the back cabin.

"Then, Miss You San, how can you see my sincerity?" Chen Jing left temporarily after saving the second sister, in fact, to avoid suspicion and to not embarrass the second sister; he didn't know, why? It becomes dishonest.If he knew that Liu Xianglian had said strange things in it, he might feel like beating someone up.

Judging from his tone, it seems that he still has intentions for the second sister; as for the exploration, it seems that it is also a long-term love?If you don't care, you won't be asking the bottom line like this?After thinking about it, Xiuying had to ask the second sister again, "What do you mean?"

"I, I don't know..." The second sister's expression was a little flustered, but more shy, "Sister, you are a person with your own opinions. Whatever you say, whatever you say, I will listen to you."

"Oh, it's useless to ask you!" Xiuying sighed helplessly, "If that's the case, then I'll make the decision for you!"
