The Rose of the Red Chamber

Tanchun didn't know if Jia Yingchun had other intentions. Although she was a little worried, she was not worried about herself.

If she wants to leave, she can do so at any time, as long as the soldiers come to block her, and the water comes and the earth floods her, that's all.

But she still wanted to leave with the three chicks beside her, so it would be a bit troublesome.

When she doesn't want to reveal her secrets, and wants to watch the Grand View Garden being built and live there for a while, then she can't frighten herself.

And... this Rongguo Mansion is rotten from the root.

If Yingchun really wanted to use that matter to force herself to do something, she wouldn't mind at all saying that Jia's mother was just the concubine of the Shi family, Jia Daishan's stepmother, and Jia She's stepmother.

Anyway, if you owe someone, you have to pay it back.

Mother Jia married in for some reason, although it was just a grievance from her previous life, but the means were not glorious.

Among other things, Jia's mother was at least charged with intentionally raising and abolishing Jia Amnesty.

Before Jia Min got married, she was the fourth eldest among the sisters, and there were three older sisters who were the first wife and the concubine, but today, none of them survived.

The accidental death like Jia Min is just an exception, and the other three are just like Yingchun in the original book, married to other people.

When the three pretty little girls were picked up in sedan chairs, Tanchun didn't have any big ideas.But when the news of being abused and neglected came out one after another, Tanchun finally understood why Jia's mother was so concerned about the marriage of the three girls.

It turned out that they were just picking out some inferior goods that were out of gold and jade.

When the news of the disappearance of the girls entered the Rongguo Mansion one by one, the sarcasm and relaxation that flashed across Jia Mu's face were so obvious that Tanchun shuddered.

......

Tanchun, who has figured it out, can deal with it calmly.It's just that Yingchun at the other end is still thinking about it.She has been thinking about how she will use Tanchun's handle.

In fact, she is also cared about by someone now, and she is actually very satisfied now.But after people finally get it, they are particularly afraid of losing it.

Yingchun, who has been feeling uneasy in her heart, is always afraid of going back to the way she was a few years ago.

At that time, no one asked her if she was hot or cold.At that time, she was obviously sitting there, right in front of everyone, but no one would look at her.

At that time, she looked at the third sister with envy and jealousy.

At that time, she still couldn't understand why the eldest sister only liked the third younger sister and the fourth younger sister who came after her.

When she understood, she was no longer jealous, but still envious and unwilling.

The same granddaughter and the same concubine, why does the old lady only show love for the third sister, but always give her a stingy look?

She wants to change the status quo, but she doesn't know where to start.Until Xiaomei approached, until she remembered what she saw by chance at that time.

She found a way, gritted her teeth and walked on.

Although the process was very difficult, although the result was ridiculous, but finally someone put her in his heart, and finally someone said to her, 'my son' such intimate words.

Although the care of the cheap mother-in-law is hard to describe, but in this huge Rongguo Mansion, they are the only ones who can rely on each other.

It's just that some things can be changed, and some things cannot be changed.

The second room is overwhelming, and the first room is weak and decadent.

She and her aunt are just two poor people who keep each other warm, so how can many things be changed.

She held the handle on the third sister, but Aunt Zhao and Zhao Guoji's family had long since disappeared. If this kind of thing really broke out, it would just make the third sister fall out of favor with the second wife.

Compared with the childless eldest wife, the second wife's love for the third sister is somewhat sincere, and she can see clearly.

The third younger sister lost the favor of the second wife, what did the second room have to lose, and what could she gain? This was always the main reason why Yingchun felt that the matter was very tasteless.

Also, she didn't really want to hurt anyone.She just wanted to keep a backup for herself, in case of a rainy day.

She could swear to her that she really didn't mean to hurt anyone.It's just that I can't bear anything, I can't help myself.

Think about it for a while, and Yingchun will not mention it again.However, Yingchun remembers that a certain military book once said that in many cases, the enemy's handle is not too small to be of value, but that the time and method we use are wrong.

So Yingchun decided to wait until...

......

Mrs. Wang was reminded by Tanchun, and she came to Jia Mu's room in the afternoon, and watched Jia Mu serve a bowl of ginseng tea with Yuanyang's service, and then said, "My sister was given some tea a few days ago Good medicinal materials. I just arrived at the mansion yesterday evening. My daughter-in-law had someone sort it out. I just handed it over to the girl in the old lady's room. There are a few wild ginseng in it. It looks good. The old lady turned around Try it with your tea too.

It is said that it is something from Fanbang, and the efficacy of the medicine is quite different from ours.The efficacy of the medicine is not as good as the ones we usually use, but the medicine is mild and soft, so it is more suitable for our daily use. "

Jia Mu raised her chin halfway to let Yuanyang wipe the corners of her mouth, and then said generously, "I seem to remember the girl who married into Xue's family in Jinling, right?"

Mrs. Wang nodded and chuckled, "The old lady has a good memory, she is the one you are talking about." She is nothing more than a younger sister, no matter what she pretends to be.

Seeing Mrs. Wang nodding, Mother Jia said again, "That is a poor child, widowed at a young age. It's hard to worry about her. It just so happened that yesterday a historian sent some special products from Sichuan. Pick up a copy and give it to their mothers. The widow is lost, sorry to see you."

Mrs. Wang laughed stiffly when she heard this, but she still continued, "You are welcome, old lady. My sister and her family are descendants of Ziwei Sheren - the Royal Merchant Xue's family. They are doing business for the royal family. Those I think there will be no shortage of things. If my sister knows that the old lady loves her so much, she might come to Beijing to thank the old lady in person one day." Mrs. Wang paused, and then continued,

"The daughter-in-law has calculated the date before, and the niece and nephew are about to arrive. The daughter-in-law wants to ask the old lady to show me where to arrange the two children. Originally, it would be the most appropriate thing to arrange in the old lady's courtyard, but it is not enough for my sister to go. Half a year ago, the two children were still wearing filial piety, and the daughter-in-law thought that it would be inconvenient for you to come here, so I asked the old lady for advice."

At least my sister is still alive, but your daughter is gone.

Mrs. Wang didn't say anything, Mother Jia really didn't think of arranging where the siblings would live.Now when Mrs. Wang mentioned it, and also talked about the matter of filial piety, the past few years have been full of disasters, and Mother Jia instinctively didn't want to arrange it in her courtyard.

But the eldest of the two children is only six years old, and the youngest is only three years old. If they live far away, they will not look alike.

"...I don't want their siblings to be too far away from me. As for where to live, it's up to you to make arrangements."

This means that there is no need to arrange it in her yard, but it can't be too far away from her.Listen to the words, Madam Wang has been a daughter-in-law for many years, so she naturally understands.

But the only yard close to the old lady is the small yard behind her Rongxi hall, and the other yards are relatively far from the old lady.

But the problem is that the old lady thinks it's bad luck, doesn't she think it's bad luck?

Even if Jia Min didn't die, she would feel that it was a very unlucky thing for her children to live behind her.

What's more, it's dead now.

Mrs. Wang put the topographic map of Rongguo Mansion in her mind, and suddenly thought of a courtyard, but she was a little bit reluctant.

Such a good yard is too wasteful for Jia Min's children to live in.

But that yard is the best choice both in terms of layout and location.

After thinking about it again, Mrs. Wang finally reluctantly gave up, "Why don't we arrange for the eldest girl to enter the courtyard in front of the palace. It is convenient for the old lady, and the size is suitable for two children to live in." Sure enough, it is the same as their mother. , are all debt collectors.

Jia's mother nodded, "I forgot about it. Min'er lived there before until she was released from the pavilion. It was given to their siblings to live there, and it also took care of the friendship between their mother and daughter."

"What the old lady said is true." Madam Wang answered with a smile, then turned her head and whispered to Jin Chuan, "Go and tell Grandma Lian Er to let her hurry up and clean up that yard."

Jin Chuan replied softly, then bowed and went out to pass on the message.

As soon as he walked out, Jin Chuan saw Bai Zhi walking over with a tray.The two talked a few words at the door, and Jin Chuan knew that Bai Zhi had given the wintersweet flowers she picked in the garden to the old lady to enjoy under the order of the third girl.

Looking at these wintersweet flowers, Jin Chuan also had to sigh that the third girl was favored by the old lady.

He really knows how to be a human being.

She can guarantee that when their wives return to the house, there will be a pot of wintersweet flowers in the house.

Jin Chuan sighed while thinking, and Bai Zhi also knew where the residence of the Lin family siblings had been fixed at this time.

When Bai Zhi came back from the old lady's main room, she told Tanchun what Jin Chuan had said.

Tanchun raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully.

I don't want the child to be unable to trap the wolf, Mrs. Wang is so precious that yard, she is more generous today.

I don't know how she can get it back when she is so generous.

"By the way, girl, when the maid sent flowers in, I heard from the old lady that I wanted to move Second Master Bao back to our yard."

Tanchun paused for a while, and then continued, "When did the old lady's yard become our yard? It's not a big deal when we move back. The wing room next door is not It's always been empty."

Seeing her girl's disapproving look, Bai Zhi hesitated, and finally looked at Chanel and Qingwen in the room, then gritted her teeth and said, "That person, that person, Second Master Bao, that person, oh, girl, those things about Second Master Bao It's not that you don't know, why are you still acting like you have nothing to do with it? You must know that Second Master Bao really moved back, and you live closest to Second Master Bao. What if he restrains you? manage?"

Tanchun: "...Don't talk nonsense." So even the girls around her think so?

Baoyu, Baoyu, your great fortune theory has really been fooled.

The master and servant said a few more words, and it was not until Tanchun before dinner that he left his room and went to the old lady's for dinner.But during dinner, Mother Jia proposed to take Shi Xiangyun over to play for two days, and now Tanchun couldn't bear it anymore.

She quietly turned her head to look at Mrs. Wang's face, and found that her face was really duller than usual.

Sure enough, she was not satisfied with the choice of this daughter-in-law.

Lin Daiyu like that, she is not satisfied.She is still dissatisfied with Shi Xiangyun.Sad that she only likes Xue Baochai who has a murderer brother?

The old women of this era really have weird ideas.

Jia Baoyu spent three days fishing and two days drying nets from childhood to school.It happened to be winter, and it was time for Mother Jia to pick up Shi Xiangyun, so the winter vacation could be justified.

But according to Jia Mu's intentions, Jia Baoyu moved back to Jia Mu's yard, as if it was only for Shi Xiangyun's sake.

Poor Baoyu, who will never escape the fate of selling meat.

Either by his own mother or by his own grandmother.

But compared to my grandmother, my mother is more discerning.

Although Tanchun had never met Xue Baochai, he subconsciously felt that Xue Baochai was better than Shi Xiangyun, and it would be more wasteful to match Baoyu.

......

Frontier, Jiang Zhai.

Since marrying Jiang Yuanxing, Zhao Xiuning's life has been very good.After the former son became pregnant, Zhao Xiuning was taken care of properly.

She was conceived in October, and as soon as the fruit came to fruition, the Jiang family had a pair of twin sons.

Because they are twins, Zhao Xiuning will be confinement for two months.

Although confinement was a bit boring, looking at this pair of sons, Zhao Xiuning was extremely satisfied.

It has been more than three years since she followed Jiang Xingyuan to the frontier.

When she left, her daughter was less than three years old, but she would be seven years old in two more months.

The longing and regret in her heart have never been relieved. Now that she has these two children, she can at least raise her own children and grow up day by day.

The eldest daughter was taken away from birth, and the other child... as well.

"Why are you so preoccupied?" Jiang Xingyuan came in from outside the house, and saw his wife looking at the two children in a daze.

Zhao Xiuning regained consciousness, looked at Jiang Xingyuan and smiled, "I didn't think about anything, I just thought that Ling'er had a clever idea, embroidered two bellybands for my younger brother, and I used them both."

Jiang Xingyuan just smiled when he heard the words, "Fortunately, Ling'er only embroidered two bellybands for the younger brothers. If there are too many embroiders, wouldn't our family really want to invite a nanny back. After all, there are too many children, and you can nurse them by yourself." But come." As soon as this was mentioned, Jiang Xingyuan was very satisfied with his eldest daughter.

"Bah, what are you talking about. Be careful that people will laugh at you when you say this." Looking sideways at Jiang Xingyuan, Zhao Xiuning smiled all over his face, "Why did you come back so early today?"

"It's getting colder and colder. The general asked us to take turns to rest. In case the people on the other side come to thresh straw in a few days."

Zhao Xiuning nodded. This kind of thing happens almost every year. When she came here for the first year, she was so scared that she couldn't sleep every night. She scolded those people in her heart, so she couldn't grow some food properly. Grab other people's food?

Although I don't understand why the person on the opposite side planted grass to feed animals instead of growing food, but it is not commonplace for ten miles. After a long time, Zhao Xiuning stopped thinking about it.

"When I came back, I saw Liu Liu twisting Jizi's ears. What's the matter?" Zhao Guoji didn't go to the barracks today, so Jiang Xingyuan didn't know what happened to the young couple.

When Zhao Xiuning thought of the careless things her younger brother did, she was also furious. "That scumbag even fed wine to Huan'er, making Huan'er fall asleep with a blushing face and a thick neck at such a young age."

Jiang Xingyuan: "...It deserves it", Huan'er is the baby bump in the family, and it's easy to twist her ears.

"It hasn't snowed these days, and the big girl will receive news in the next few days. It's a pity that she won't be able to wear my skin in that mansion."

"We can't go back for a while, and this place is so difficult. Putting the big girl in foster care will save us a lot of trouble. After a few years to clear up the relationship, we will leave this land and bring the big girl back for a family reunion. , How many good leathers can't be worn."

Zhao Xiuning and Jiang Xingyuan were teasing their two young sons who were blushing in sleep, talking about trivial matters.Unknowingly, a few days passed by, and the day when Tanchun received the letter from home happened to be the day they estimated before.

Tanchun took the letter, looked at the news inside, with joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

"Sister Yun, the ground is slippery, please slow down." Tanchun was still reading the letter when Baoyu's voice and Shi Xiangyun's voice came in together.

Tanchun frowned, and quickly put the letter away.

"Why is Sister Yun here? Come to see tea." Tan Chun politely said to Shi Xiangyun, then turned to look at the girl in the room, "You are all dead? You don't know how to notify when a guest arrives? Rules Is all the etiquette just for dinner?"

As soon as Tanchun's words fell, Shi Xiangyun raised his eyebrows.

These words are not talking about the little girl, but clearly scolding her.

But without waiting for people to plead guilty, and without waiting for Shi Xiangyun to get angry, Baoyu, a person who loves flowers, feels distressed, "Why should the third sister talk about them? We are anxious to see the third sister, and it has nothing to do with them. The third sister allows me to talk about love." , don’t punish them.”

Whether it's Tanchun or the girls in Tanchun's house, they all looked at Baoyu speechlessly, they all knew who Tanchun was talking about, but Baoyu could still say that.

So Tanchun was amused by Baoyu's words, "Look at what the second elder brother said, I didn't say that I would punish them, but I just made them angry that they didn't know the etiquette of hospitality. To make sister Yun feel wronged for no reason, I thought We're not very hospitable."

Tanchun was very annoyed at Shi Xiangyun's intrusion just now. If it was someone who didn't have supernatural powers or who didn't have the space to draw with a jade pen, she would probably have seen the letter and caused a big incident.

Although there was not a single word in the letter that mentioned Rongguo Mansion, Tanchun or other people's names, but nothing is absolute, who can guarantee that it will not be discovered.

Especially Jia Yingchun, who might know something, was watching.

When Shi Xiangyun came to Rongguo Mansion this time, he received a great welcome from the old lady. In order to show her love for her, the old lady not only let her live in her green gauze cabinet, but also specially ordered Wang Xifeng to give her as a girl in the family. Shi Xiangyun dressed in some New Year's clothes and jewelry, and the scenery was the same for a while.

After all, Shi Xiangyun is really only over six years old, so naturally he wants to make Tanchun, who has always disliked her, see himself being favored.

So this day I just got a set of jewelry from the old lady, so I hurried to show it off.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the house, Tanchun would give him a serious blow, so he was so depressed at this time.

But when Shi Xiangyun thought about it again, he was happy again.

This must be jealous that she is favored by the old lady.

"I heard that Sister Lin and Brother Lin from Aunt Lin's family are going to the capital soon, and I don't know what kind of temperament Sister Lin is...do you get along well?" Daiyu, Tanchun, and Xiangyun At the same age, Daiyu was born in February, Tanchun in early March, and Xiangyun in September.

Tanchun glanced at Xiangyun with a smile that was not a smile, and didn't care about her words that implied that he was not easy to get along with.

"The old lady has loved Aunt Min since she was born. Now that she has gone to see Auntie, the old lady has been sad for a long time. It is estimated that all her heartache will be pinned on the brothers and sisters of the Lin family. No, the previous son asked Lian Er. The courtyard where the eldest sister lived before entering the palace has been tidied up, and she will live in it as soon as sister Lin arrives.

I heard that Lian Er's sister-in-law arranged the interior very delicately, but the courtyard where the eldest sister lives is already very delicate, so how can it be cleaned up even if it is so delicate?I think we can only know a thing or two when sister Lin lives in. "

Shi Xiangyun's smile choked, and Tanchun's eyes were a little stinging.

"I heard from the old lady that this younger sister is very similar to the immortal Aunt Min, and Aunt Min is a rare and delicate person. Sister Lin lives in, and she is worthy of her."

"Second brother is right, who lives in what kind of house." After a pause, Tanchun tilted his head to look at Shi Xiangyun, "The old lady loves sister Yun, so you can get used to living in the Bisha cupboard?"

Shi Xiangyun gritted her teeth and smiled stiffly, "Of course I'm used to it." This time when she came back to Rongguo Mansion, she didn't even get a house.

"Just get used to it, and it won't waste the old lady's love for you."

The three of them were talking, Yingchun and Xichun also came over.

For a while, several brothers and sisters collapsed in Tanchun's room and started a quarrel.Tanchun thought for a while, and asked people to find out what the old lady's son was doing at the moment. If nothing happened, they would go to the old lady's room and stay.

There is good tea and snacks, and there are people waiting for you, it is better than this house.

The life of Jia's family has always been very lively, noisy and extravagant.

However, compared to the hustle and bustle of Rongguo Mansion, the life on board the Lin family was quite quiet during the trip.

Daiyu would copy scriptures every day when she had nothing to do, and Yinglian would do needlework beside her.The two of them either do their own things quietly, or read books and play chess together.

Lin Ping's little friend is also living a good life.

Because the river water is too cold, no one dared to let him into the water to harm the creatures in the river. On weekdays, except for stirring vigorously in the river along the side of the boat with a long stick, he would follow along at other times. Learn some basic martial arts skills from Liu Xianglian's side.

"Brother Ping, help me quietly give this to the third girl in Rongguo Mansion, and I will take you as my apprentice." Liu Xianglian handed the wooden box containing a very beautiful fragrant wood folding fan to Lin Ping, and then took a The anticipation and tension that even I am not aware of.

Lin Ping tilted his head and thought for a while, and then he remembered who the third girl from the Rongguo Mansion was mentioned by brother Liu.

Isn't that the young master's cousin?

Lin Ping was very generous when he took the box. "Brother Liu, don't worry, this little thing is fine." After a pause, Lin Ping asked again, "Brother Liu, will Third Cousin accept it? My elder sister won't accept things from others when she comes out."

Hearing Lin Ping's question, Liu Xianglian frowned and thought for a long time, then gritted her teeth and said to him, "Just give it to her quietly, don't tell her my name, just tell her, this is, yes, it's Liu It was given by Deng Tu, so she will accept it."

"Liu Dengtu? That's also Brother Liu's name." This name doesn't sound as nice as Liu Xianglian at all.

"...You just say so." This was given by your third cousin.

"It's a good name, people live up to their name, and they will live up to their name in the future." Lin Ping actually didn't know what was so good about this name, but thinking that everyone in the family would praise his name, he learned it for a while.

Liu Xianglian: "..." It's worthy of the name or something, do you really hope so, kid?

The author has something to say: I have always felt that men are not as good as women when it comes to hiding money.

But yesterday I found out during the holiday that at least men have better memory than women.He never forgot where my dad hid his private money.

I wanted to find a jade pendant yesterday afternoon to give to a certain nephew of mine, but I couldn't find where to put the jade pendant in the jewelry box.

The queen mother of my room doesn't clean up, so I can't think of my brother and dad. During the two or three days when the queen mother left, I made one or two calls every day to ask about the clothes, the shoes, or food. where is it.

Just thinking about finding something gives me a headache.
