The Rose of the Red Chamber

Tanchun didn't know what the girl in front of him was thinking, if he knew, he would shake her shoulder and ask her, who is the civet cat and who is the prince.

It's like she's a fake.

It's purely because I read too many drama books.

But fortunately, she didn't know, of course, even if she knew, she would probably mislead her like this.

After all, this conjecture is always better than the truth.

At this moment, Tanchun looked down at the letter, and slowly, a faint smile appeared on his face.Jiang Xingyuan's handwriting is much prettier than Zhao Xiuning's. The most important thing is that Jiang Xingyuan is still the boy she knew, uh, now he is a man, an elder.

Even if the letter is homely, it is cautious, and there are no sensitive words throughout.

When Zhao Xiuniang was mentioned, she was always referred to as 'your mother', and the name Ling'er was used to address her, and other important things were replaced by his word.Tanchun believed that even if this letter fell into the hands of outsiders, they would not know that the letter was actually addressed to her, the third girl of Rongguo Mansion.

The entire letter is full of parents' worries and care for the eldest daughter who lives alone in the capital, and describes their life in the frontier.Looking at this letter, Tanchun felt very warm in his heart.

It turned out that she was not an unbearable existence to them.It never occurred to them to downplay her presence.Even if she didn't entrust her dream to Jiang Xingyuan, Jiang Xingyuan still cared about her stepdaughter.

Relationships need maintenance and communication.

Before she hadn't seen her for more than ten years, she was very worried about whether Jiang Xingyuan and Zhao Xiuning would feel strange and strange to her, the eldest daughter, or... cold when she left Rongguo Mansion when she was old enough.

Now there is such a little girl passing letters from the middle, and there are correspondences every year, even though we don't meet each other, it shouldn't be too unfamiliar.

In fact, Tanchun has forgotten that, except for a very few people, there is no parent in this world who does not worry about their children.

The mother is worried when the son travels thousands of miles. Similarly, when the parents are away, the child is the most worried thing.It is only human nature to arrange for someone to be with Tanchun at the risk of being found out.

In Zhao Xiuning's eyes, even if Tanchun is the reincarnation of a god, he can make a living in Rongguo Mansion, but in the end he is just a child, especially a girl.As a mother, it's normal for her to worry about her children.

And what about Jiang Xingyuan?

One is to love the house and Wu, and the other is to thank Tanchun for letting Zhao Xiuning leave Rongguo Mansion without hesitation.

Later, Tanchuntuo's dream was just icing on the cake.

Adding two and two together, plus Zhao Xiuning Tian Ling'er, Ling'er said, he really put himself in the role of a father to care for a child he had never seen before.

In the days to come, Tanchun would often do some needlework, or send the news she heard in the capital to the frontier, and when the letter naturally kindly told his parents to take care of his health, Jiang Xingyuan really recognized this girl from the bottom of his heart. .

Put the letter into an envelope, fold it carefully, and use your ability to shrink the letter into the pouch at your waist.After that, Tanchun took the token and stroked it reminiscently.

This token is Zhao Xiuning's needlework.

After a few breaths, Fu looked down at the little girl kneeling on the ground again, and asked a series of questions without thinking. "How are father and mother? How is uncle and aunt? How tall is my cousin now? How is the war on the frontier? What dangers are there? What do mother and aunt do on weekdays..." Although the letter said One or two sentences, but Tanchun still wants to hear an affirmative answer.

"Master and wife are all well, uncle and wife are also fine, the young master is strong and strong, and the servant has walked very steadily when the servant came. This time, the wife asked the servant to give the girl 50 taels of silver. The master said From then on, every year, someone would send someone to bring the girl money into the mansion. The master also bought a small village in the suburbs. The master said that the village had a harvest every year, and told the girl to go to the old house if she was short of anything. Someone will add to the girl..."

What's more, what the wife and uncle usually do most often is to take her by their side and teach her to behave.

But Chanel thought about it, fearing that her own daughter would be jealous of her being favored by the two wives, so she didn't say anything about it.You must know that when she was in the mansion, many people were particularly jealous and envious of her.

Thinking of this, Chanel subconsciously touched her face, and the wives all said that she was blessed.

There are still some customary rules in this era, such as suppressing bandits and ransacking homes, and those who act can get some rewards.

Jiang Xingyuan went into the mountains with others to suppress the bandits, and shared some financial resources.This time when I came to Beijing, I bought such a small Zhuangzi.On the way back to the frontier after leaving Beijing, he will take a look around Tongzhou and buy a Zhuangzi if he finds a suitable one.

Eggs cannot be put in one basket, who knows if they will stay in the frontier forever.Moreover, the rent collector didn't need them to come. The family conditions were good, he bought servants, and he also mentioned capable stewards, as well as some soldiers from the battlefield he took in. These people were enough.

Of course, Jiang Xingyuan didn't write all these things in the letter.He just wrote a sentence at the end of the letter, this time he went to Beijing and brought some soldiers who had retreated from the battlefield, and put them in Xiaowai's Zhuangzi.If there is any emergency, you can ask someone to go over there and call someone around.

If Tanchun suddenly wants to leave Rongguo Mansion early, she can also ask these people to escort her back to the frontier.

"...It's not necessary. My father's annual salary is not much. Even my mother has received a salary. There is no need for expenses outside the house. I am a girl's family, and there is no place for money. I will write to you later. One, you leave the house and send it to the old house, and someone arranges to send it to the old man and wife. My son just started learning needlework, embroidered a few handkerchiefs, and also made tassels for my father and uncle. Take them all out..."

How many taels of silver can the salary of a sixth-rank official be, even if there is some small foreign money in normal times, how many times can he get it.Still thinking about sending so much money to her stepdaughter, Tanchun felt that she really couldn't take the money.But since it has been delivered, it cannot be returned.Send it back to slap her in the face, then she will treat the 50 taels of silver as living expenses for two years.

After all, her monthly bill of silver in Rongguo Mansion was only two taels, and only 24 taels a year.

Although it is only natural for my mother to raise a daughter, considering their family's wealth, it is too much.

By the way, when I write a letter later, I have to tell them that Zhuangzi is the foundation, and if I have extra money, I don't need to give it to her, just buy some more land seriously.

Alas, in fact, she really missed them, but let's wait, she must wait until Zhao Xiuning gave birth to a few children for Jiang Xingyuan before going there.

Tanchun asked some more questions, and then said to Chanel, "Since Dad sent you to the capital, your family will make proper arrangements, so you don't have to worry about that." After a pause, Tanchun's tone was a little cold , seems to have some kind of threatening hint in it, "However, you have to understand what you should do, what you shouldn't do, what you can say and what you can't say. Remember, as long as you are faithful, the girl can guarantee you And your family's safety, if..., then don't blame the girl for being ruthless regardless of her past relationships."

"Please, please don't worry, the eldest girl. The servants have no second thoughts, and will serve the eldest girl with all their heart." Woo, the eldest girl is so scary, I really want to cry.

Tanchun looked at Chanel's pale face with fright, and nodded in satisfaction.What she said just now was not trying to scare her.

Although she grew up in the new era in her previous life, she has wandered in this world of red buildings for a hundred years.Although his thoughts have not been assimilated, he is no longer a novice like Wuxia Amon.

When Nanny Lai and Mother Jia first married into the Rongguo Mansion, in Rongxi Hall, which is now the room that Mrs. Wang has arranged as a small Buddhist hall, Nanny Lai used white silk to strangle a person who successfully climbed the bed to death. Dowry girl.

That was the first time she faced the scene of a murder.

After that, there are Jia Hu, Zhang Shi, and...

Tanchun has seen too much of the miserable fate of the master who was betrayed by the slaves over the years.Because I have seen a lot, I have lost a little fear of these things.

She once thought about what method she would use if she wanted to save a person's life.

Push people into the river when they are not prepared?

Insert the embroidery needle into the person's body along the sole of the foot?

Looking for a rusty knife?

A dog or cat with rabies?

Keep oleander juice dyed veils within easy reach?

Or are castor beans poured into someone else's decoction?

Or draw a strip of bamboo leaves?

She didn't want to get blood on her hands, but when that day came, she would never hesitate.

She has her responsibilities and obligations.

As a master, she protects the safety of her servants, but only if they are loyal to her.Otherwise, even if she doesn't want to, she won't give others the chance to hurt herself and the people she cares about.

Subconsciously touched the jade pen on his neck, Tanchun lowered his eyes, if the girl in front of him really had a second heart, not only her, but also Jiang Xingyuan and his party who were far away in the borderland probably would not get well.

It's hard to make people nice.It's too easy to make people have a bad life.A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, a person like Jia Yucun, and an incompetent Jia Zheng can let him resume his post in Jinling City. From this point, we can see the residual prestige of Rongguo Mansion.

...Especially the Rongguo Mansion is a family that started with military exploits.What kind of power in the army, Tanchun dare not imagine.

Yubi's ability to write short stories is very limited. Through the methods of controlling people these days, not to mention that she has successfully subdued Baizhi and Qingwen, but she has almost matured them.Now that there is another one here, maybe she can experiment with her idea.

For example, write a short story and entrust dreams to three people at the same time.

The beginning can be written as, 'This night, Baizhi, Qingwen and Chanel had a dream at the same time, in the dream...'

This Chanel had to dream about it, after all, even if she wanted to leave Jia's mansion in the future, she would have to help contact her.For the others, after she left, it is estimated that her confidants will not get better, so it is certain to take them away.Especially Qingwen, that is her treasure.

So if this kind of experiment is successful, she can use it on three people at a time.If she fails, then she only has five chances left.

Whether there will be seven or five chances left, she bet on this one.

"...Okay, get up. From now on in this mansion, you can just call me a girl. As long as you follow this girl wholeheartedly, the girl has nothing else to do, but it is possible to keep you safe forever." After Chun finished speaking, she took two rose-shaped golden pegs from her purse and gave them to her.

"Yes, servant understands, servant thank you for the reward."

The girl is indeed a girl, she really deserves to be the kind of a master and wife.

Alas, she didn't have to think about it any more. Judging from the harshness of the girl's words just now, it is estimated that the real girl Jia San had disappeared by now.

I hope that the girl can keep her alive in the future because of her honesty and loyalty.

As for escaping while leaving the mansion?

She didn't dare to think, my mother and younger brother stayed in the frontier, and she was a little girl who wanted money but didn't have money, and she wanted a household registration and no household registration. What would happen if she ran out? On the way her family fled, she saw too much up.

So after much deliberation, staying with the girl with peace of mind was the only way out.

I really admire my master and wife for coming up with such a method.However, why send the girl to Rongguo Mansion?

It is so easy to enter the Duke's Mansion, so it shouldn't be difficult to enter the Prince's Mansion.If the eldest girl had been sent to the palace, wouldn't she be able to make her own eldest daughter a princess?

What a pity~

After that, Chanel stayed in the Tanchun room with peace of mind and became an inconspicuous little girl.Occasionally, I was ordered by Tanchun to go out of the house to buy some needles, thread, brains or toys, but it did not attract the attention of others.

In Tanchun's room, the waiter came from Jia's mother, so she was the big girl in charge.But she is not young anymore, and everyone is guessing who will take her place after Shi Shu leaves.

Chanel was originally a poor girl, but she picked up the ring that the third girl dropped in the yard, and the third girl directly promoted her to the third class girl, and she was allowed to enter the house to serve.But she is still a humble third-class little girl.

Bai Zhi is still the one who deserves Tanchun's heart the most, and Bai Zhi will do everything to inquire about news and run errands.

And the most noticeable thing is that Tanchun always takes Qingwen with her wherever she goes.

This girl is getting better and better. Ever since she came to Tanchun, Tanchun always takes her with her wherever she goes.The first thing to do when getting up every morning is to watch Qingwen dress up, if Qingwen is not dressed up as a flower, she will seem to have no energy all day long.

When she is free in daily life, Qingwen is tossing and tossing like this.Even Qingwen's nails are pink today, bright red tomorrow, and some other color the day after tomorrow.

However, it was also because of her tossing around that the little girl Qingwen, who used to be pretty beauty-loving, directly turned off her enthusiasm for the matter of dressing up, or rather - frightened.

Unfortunately, because of her looks, it was not until much later that Tanchun gave up such pastimes as dressing up dolls.

......

Although it was still not very acceptable for Jia Lian to gnaw at Wang Xifeng, who was only ten years old and had only a few hairs, time ran fast, and it didn't take long for Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng to get married.

Marriage etiquette has its own rules to follow, and Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng's wedding will not be described one by one.

This day was the day after Wang Xifeng married into the Rongguo Mansion, and the Ningguo Mansion also married back Qin Keqing, who had a mysterious background.One new daughter-in-law in one mansion is just a reason for excitement, so Ningguo Mansion arranged a troupe and set up a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet here.

Tanchun sat next to Jiamu, watching Xiaodan who was babbling on the stage covered in pink bubbles, so taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, she took Qingwen and ran to the backstage to poach a corner.

"My sister, you look like a flower and a jade, why don't you follow me back to the house." The big round eyes and the smiley look even showed a hint of lewdness, which made people speechless.

"..." Liu Xianglian, who had just changed into costumes and hadn't removed her make-up, looked up and down the little girl who sneaked into the temporary backstage, and couldn't help asking herself, was he being molested by a little boy?

The men of the Jia family are not good things, so are the women of the Jia family also lustful?

Cute, delicate and pretty, the little girl who is only as tall as a table has a squinting look on her face, is this really good?

Liu Xianglian really didn't think that he was just a cameo in two plays in the troupe, how could he be targeted by the little girl of this family?

Look at what she said, there is a sister on the left and a beauty on the right, is this little girl really a girl and not a playboy in disguise?

"My sister sings so well. Wouldn't it be a pity to stay in the troupe? Why don't you go home with me? My sister can sing if she wants to, and she can't sing if she doesn't want to. Hey, look at my sister's hands. All calluses? Alas, the girl’s hands need to be taken care of. My sister is so distressed. As long as my sister comes with me, I have a plaster made of high-quality medicinal materials, and I can use it as I like. Wen."

When Tanchun said this, he called out to Qingwen who was at the side. Qingwen rolled her eyes to the sky, and then stretched out her hand, which was well cared for by her own girl.

Jade fingers are slender, tender and white as bamboo shoots.

Tanchun grabbed Qingwen's hand, and while touching it happily, she showed her successful work to the opposite 'sister'.

Liu Xianglian looked at the strange girl in front of her, and suddenly felt powerless in her heart.

Did she really not see that she was a man?

The author has something to say: Thank you Nangong Xianger for throwing a landmine, thank you!

When you see the update of this chapter, the author... is still sound asleep.The author is going to turn off the phone, turn off the alarm clock, and take a deep sleep during the two days of vacation.It feels like money is never enough to spend, and sleep is never enough.

After dinner today, I lay on the bed in the Empress Dowager’s room. I lay my upper body on the bed with my butt hanging in the air, and my legs stood upright. I kicked my feet on the side cabinet beside the bed, and then... the cabinet with the porcelain plate fell over. , and then collapsed on the stool beside the bed.The cabinet door was directly pressed against the stool and broke...

I swear I didn't really push, mostly to avoid the heater pipes down there, the cabinet wasn't against the wall...

During the day, I made a lot of money at work, but when I got home, I was scammed by the cabinet again.

Oh, the Queen Mother asked me to pay for it.

This business is so distressing, the broken cabinet has been used for so many years at home, and it has long since broken, because I was thinking of decorating, so I just used it first.Now the queen mother actually asked me to pay for a cabinet that she liked and was waiting to buy after renovation...

I said to the queen mother, mother, your daughter is about to lose her job.

But when our queen mother heard this, she was very happy.But guess what she said?

'I have long disliked your unit. Look at how old you are, and you can't even find a partner. It's your unit that delayed you.I work overtime all the time, and you don't have time to watch blind dates...'

Chasing love is in our queen mother's heart, and this is the root cause of her daughter's inability to marry.

Although I always say that many older women in our unit are not married, and although I always use overtime as an excuse not to go on blind dates, but your daughter has lost her job for more than ten years, how can you have such an attitude.

So tonight the stupid author made a decision, since the Queen Mother is not kind, then don't blame me for being unfilial.I'm planning to go back to my aunt's birthday in two days when she goes back to her hometown to hold a cat owner back, and she won't be able to send her away when she comes back......

The queen mother once said, if you raise me but not it, if you raise it but not me.

PS, why did I feel weird when I said the first sentence.It's like last words or words when we broke up.So, we should not send condolences to stupid authors, right?
