The alternative life of the clever sister of the Red Chamber

After Mrs. Wang left with the anti-pregnancy prescription, Aunt Xue sat for a while, then stood up, "Tongxi, I'll go to the girl's place, and I won't come back for dinner at night. If the uncle comes back, please tell him."

Tong Xi responded, but said in his heart, one night the uncle will not come back until midnight after playing!

Aunt Xue went to Hengwu Court, but Xue Baochai was not there. The little girl said that Miss Bao had gone to Yihong Court, and said that she would be invited back immediately.When Aunt Xue heard that Xue Baochai and Baoyu were together, she hurriedly said that she didn't have to invite him right away, and it was the same if she waited for a while.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Xue Baochai walked in slightly drunk, and saw Aunt Xue sitting there, feeling a little embarrassed, wiped her face with a handkerchief, and hurriedly said: "When does mother come, don't you?" Someone call me, and my mother is sitting here alone."

Aunt Xue smelled a faint smell of alcohol on Baochai's body, and her face was slightly flushed. She smiled and said, "Where did this come from? Have you been drinking?"

Xue Baochai lowered her head in embarrassment and said, "I was talking to Brother Bao, and because the conversation started, Brother Bao started arguing for a drink, so he drank a few glasses. Mother came sooner or later, did she wait for a long time?" As he spoke, he leaned into Aunt Xue's arms.

Aunt Xue caressed Xue Baochai's face and said with a smile, "It's not that early, but I just sat for a while. By the way, your aunt is here today. What your aunt meant was that after the spring engagement, you and Baoyu's marriage The marriage was settled, but the empress unexpectedly spread the happy news at this time. She was afraid that the wedding event at this time would make too much noise and cause people to criticize her. What the empress meant was that after the empress gave birth to the prince safely, she would take advantage of this joy to please Marriage from the Holy One! How glorious it is! Don’t you think so?”

Aunt Xue's words were full of joy, but Xue Baochai didn't dare to be so optimistic. If Yuanchun gave birth to a princess, that's all. Not impossible.At that time, my family can only swallow their anger, and after suffering this dull loss, there is nothing they can do about Jia's family!

But Xue Baochai would not say this to Aunt Xue, and it is useless to say it, Aunt Xue has no scheming, and she will inevitably show some traces in front of Mrs. Wang, which is not good.I can only think of ways to do it myself.It seems that before the birth of the prince in Yuanchun, the matter of the marriage must be widely known. Even if the Jia family intends to regret the marriage, they will have to worry about it.

But sometimes, things are not as simple as people think.Just when the theory of a golden and jade marriage was raging in Jia's mansion, and even spread to outside of Jia's mansion, suddenly there was a saying quietly spread in Jia's mansion.Until one day, Xue Baochai, the protagonist of this incident, heard such rumors with his own ears.

That night, Xue Baochai just came out of Yihong Courtyard. During the recent period, she has always been going well and everything is going well. Her brother has slowly spread the news of the golden and jade marriage, and she and Baoyu are getting closer and closer. Speculation, she has already touched Baoyu's veins, and knows how to make Baoyu interested in her words. She is confident that as long as she is given a period of time, she will definitely make Baoyu unable to leave her, even if it is her. Can't.

Thinking of this, Xue Baochai was in a good mood, so she was not in a hurry to go back to Hengwuyuan, walked along Furong Embankment, passed Qinfang Bridge, and went up to Qinfang Pavilion, intending to sit here and have a rest.Suddenly, voices came from the reeds outside Qinfang Pavilion.Xue Baochai didn't care at first, maybe the woman on duty was looking for a place to be lazy!But when he heard Xue Baochai suddenly, he heard his own name in a daze.Xue Baochai has always been a person who cherishes feathers, otherwise she would not pay attention to everything, pay attention to everything, even the maid and mother-in-law have noticed, just to get a good word.Although on the surface she never seemed to care much about these things, in fact, she still paid attention to them.

Xue Baochai wanted to eavesdrop on how they would discuss him, so she stood on tiptoe, walked slowly over, hid behind the column, and quietly listened to the conversation of the woman below.

"Aren't you surprised? When Miss Bao first moved in, didn't she say she was going to run for the election? Although she lost the election, she has lived in our house all the way until now. In previous years, she was young, so it's okay to say. Now she's growing up day by day. She is the same age as her, but the second girl who is a few months older than Yue is engaged, why is there no news about Miss Bao!"

Xue Baochai's face turned red when she heard this, but she couldn't get angry again, so she could only bear it secretly and continue listening.

The other woman spat, "Bah, don't you know what the Xue family means? Haven't you heard of the rumors about this golden and jade marriage? What are you pretending to be here! The Xue family was targeting at the beginning. Otherwise, no one cares about the seat of Second Grandma Bao at such an advanced age? Even if the Xue family is in decline now, the girls in their family will not be unable to get married, but they are just waiting for Second Master Bao."

"That's how it is! Sister, don't be surprised. I just came to work in the garden. I used to serve outside the second gate. I don't know what's going on here. Please tell me well."

"What's there to say, Xue's family has confirmed the seat of Second Grandma Bao. If it's not very good, the matter of a golden and jade marriage that has not been mentioned for a long time has come up again. I guess it is because Miss Bao is getting older. , The Xue family couldn't wait, that's why they did this! I'm afraid it was to force the Jia family to agree to this marriage!" said the woman proudly.

"I think that Miss Bao is quite nice. She is beautiful and dignified, has a good family background and a good temperament. Why did she hang herself on a tree?"

"What do you know, Miss Bao has a good family background? Although the Xue family is the family of the emperor and merchants, but the merchants are the last ones! In terms of family background, which one is she comparable to? Everyone just looks at the second wife. It’s all about respecting her and currying favor with her. Besides, from Miss Lin onwards, which girl doesn’t bring a maid when she goes out, but only Miss Bao, who doesn’t bring a maid at every turn, regardless of the time of day. Yihong Courtyard, drinking and laughing with the second master! Fortunately, she still has the face to put on a good sister all day long to teach our girl, saying that her daughter's family should mainly focus on needle-cut female celebrities, as if she and Baoyu all day long She is not the same person who talks about poetry and painting!"

Xue Baochai's face turned from red to white, she was extremely ashamed and indignant, but she did not give up, and wanted to listen to them again, wanting to hear what other embarrassing things they could say.But at this time, Yinger's voice came from a distance, "Miss, where are you?"

Suddenly there was no sound from below, and then a breathless sound came. Xue Baochai knew that it was the women who saw that something was wrong and slipped away quietly.

Ying'er was still screaming, Xue Baochai wanted to reply, but the strength in her whole body seemed to be taken away, she could only sit there paralyzed, unable to move, her mind was filled with the words of the women just now, after a while, she gave a wry smile , Yes, I am still too self-righteous, thinking that Aunt Si will not know about these little things.Who knew, not only did she know, but she also killed herself so bloodlessly that she was caught off guard!Don't you know the behavior of this villain?In the past, because their aunt liked them, of course they flattered and praised them everywhere.But now, the aunt is dissatisfied with herself, and of course they spoiled themselves by guessing what the aunt wanted.

It's just that my aunt is too cruel. The Xue family has done so much for my aunt, but this is against her intentions. How can she let these people slander and slander herself like this!Could it be that the empress's birth is really a prince, so does my aunt have nothing to fear?

Xue Baochai thought about a lot of things quickly, until Yinger's nervous voice came from beside her ear, "Girl, what's wrong with you? Oh, why is your face so hot? Could it be that you have a wind blowing disease?" Yinger wanted to help Pick up Xue Baochai and go back, but Xue Baochai's body is plump, and Ying'er is weak, unable to help him up.Want to call someone to help!There is no one else around.

Seeing that Xue Baochai's face was getting more and more flushed, Ying'er was so anxious that she was about to cry. Finally, she finally saw the woman who was beating the watch, and asked her to go back and call a few people before carrying Xue Baochai back.After going back, it was a lot of tossing, but this time Ying'er had experience, boiled soup and delivered medicine, and took three cold pills in a row, Xue Baochai felt better.

Xue Baochai fell into a deep sleep, but Yinger looked worried at the remaining Qiba Lengxiang pills in the jar.The girl was fine when she was a child, she only had seizures once in a few years, but since she came to Jia Mansion, she had seizures every few months, and each time she had to take two or three Lengxiang pills to suppress it.Now there are not many Lengxiang pills left, what should I do after eating them.Not to mention that the current Xue family has such human and financial resources, those who collect those flower pistils from all over the world, even if they collect them, what's the use without the medicine primer?Ying'er was so worried that she didn't know what to do.

In the main room of Mrs. Wang in Rongxi Hall, Mrs. Wang stood in front of the Buddha statue with her eyes slightly closed, twisting a Buddhist bead with one hand and knocking on a wooden fish with the other.Suddenly someone opened the curtain and came in, without saying a word, just stood aside silently, and asked: "Is everything done?"

The members of Zhou Rui's family laughed together, "It has already been done to return to the wife, Miss Bao has already heard these words."

Mrs. Wang opened her eyes, with a faint smile, "Oh? How is she?"

"I'm sick. I heard that I'll be better after taking two or three pills of Lengxiang pills." Zhou Rui's family said with a smile, "It's just that Ma'am, I don't understand something."

"Do you want to ask why I want to target Bao girl?" Mrs. Wang put down the gavel and sat down on the boxwood chair next to her.

Zhou Rui's family smiled and nodded, "That's right, hasn't my wife always liked Miss Bao the most? Why this time?"

"I like her. I like her generous and honest. She can assist Baoyu and serve Baoyu well. But I didn't expect that she would play tricks on me behind my back! Hmph, if it wasn't for going to Shi's house for a drink a few days ago, the banquet The second grandma of the Shangshi family asked a lot, I don't know yet, when the news of the golden jade marriage will spread to the outside world! Aunt Xue has no such scheming, and Xue Pan is a fool. I can't think of anyone else except Bao girl. Does she think that she can force me to submit? Huh, I am willing to fulfill her, it is my business, but I don't want to be manipulated by a little girl!"

Mrs. Wang was very angry. She had always liked Baochai and thought she was a good match for Baoyu, but she had never liked those scheming women. Xue Baochai really touched Mrs. Wang's bottom line this time, but she thought about Baochai. Thanks to the achievements of the past, his subordinates were merciful, and only let people point out the identity of Xue's family, so as to warn Baochai.

Zhou Rui's family smiled.The master and servant said something else, and Zhou Rui's family just left.

At the same time, in Qiushuang Zhai, Jia Tanchun was scribbling on the rice paper, and the servant stood beside him and replied, "Miss Bao has heard those words, and she became ill on the spot, and she was carried back with great difficulty." Hengwuyuan, after taking Lengxiang pills, he has already rested."

Jia Tanchun stopped writing, put the pen on the pen stand, picked up the piece he had just written, looked at it, shook his head, "No, it's too willful!" Then he crumpled the paper and threw it away. on the ground.But he also lost the interest to continue writing, so he sat down in a dispirited mood, picked a book from the desk and started to read it.

The waiter hurriedly picked up the ball of paper on the ground, threw it into the wastebasket, and took it out to burn later.The girl's pen and ink can't be revealed casually.

"Girl, it's very good. Why do you want Mrs. Fang to say such things? If it is found out in the future, wouldn't it involve you?" The servant asked puzzled.

Jia Tanchun smiled complacently, "Why? Sister Bao is a face-saving person. Not only will she not say what she said today, but she will do everything possible to hide it. As for why she said that, the wife relies heavily on Sister Bao for everything. I haven't even married yet, but relying on her so much, if things go on like this, I won't have a bright future. Only by alienating their aunt and nephew can I have a bright future with your girl. Once the second elder brother is engaged, it will be me next Well, if I can't please my wife before then, my wife will marry me out at that time, wouldn't my life be over? That's why I asked that woman to add fuel and jealousy. What's more, even if Sister Bao wants to investigate, she It can only be found out that it is my wife who sent people to spread such words, and it can't be related to me!"

The servant nodded, with admiration on his face, "Girl, is this what girls often say, that the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind?"

Jia Tanchun smiled triumphantly.Apparently she thought she was the later oriole.

Who knows, there is a falcon watching behind the oriole!Nanny Yang and Nanny Jiang were already teaching Jia Wan some insidious methods and intrigues. This part of the public case happened to be seen by Nanny Yang and Nanny Jiang, and they used it as a typical case to educate Jia Wan.

"What did the girl see from the actions of Miss Xue, the second wife, and the third lady? What do you think?" Yang Nanny asked with a straight face.

Jia Wan was very sleepy, but was dragged up from the bed by Nanny Yang, forcing her to listen to the live broadcast.She was so sleepy, her mind seemed to be filled with mud, and she still had to answer Madam Yang's question, "What did you see? Aunt Xue's Lengxiang pills are not much left, right? Aunt Xue took the Lengxiang pills What the pill said is amazing, but the other side is also limited, as long as a lot of money is sprinkled, it can always be collected, but without the medicine primer given by the monk, how can this Lengxiang pill be made!"

Nanny Yang saw her talking for a long time, but Jia Wan only thought of this one, and suddenly got angry, and raised the ruler in her hand, Nanny Fang hurriedly stopped her, "Girl usually sleeps at this time. Get off, you forced her to get up, she didn't think so much. Let's talk tomorrow morning!"

Jia Wan yawned, "In addition to this, I also understand one thing, that is, being clever is misled by cleverness! Don't think that everyone else is a fool except yourself!"

Nanny Yang and Nanny Fang were stunned for a moment, then turned their heads to look at Jia Wan in surprise, Jia Wan stretched her waist in a disfigured way, "Mammy, can I go back to sleep?"

Nanny Yang seemed to be still immersed in Jia Wan's pointed words just now, she nodded in a daze, and Jia Wan yawned and went back.

After Jia Wan left, Nanny Yang looked at Nanny Fang, "Tell me, what does Miss Wan mean by this sentence?"

Mother Fang felt a little funny, "You are really, didn't you ask the girl what she thought? Now that the girl has said it, you are suspicious again."

Nanny Yang snorted, put down the ruler in her hand, "I know, you always look towards her, and you think she is good everywhere!"

Mother Fang asked with a good temper: "Then tell me, what's wrong with Miss Wan? You know her preferences, one is eating, the other is sleeping, and the third is being active. Now you are forcing her out of Pulled up on the bed to listen to your lecture, she didn't get angry, what do you want from her? You have forgotten that sister Yao was invited by the left minister to teach the third girl the year before last, but she was punished to kneel in the courtyard for half an hour in the winter In the end, Ms. Ren San said she didn't know the matter, but Sister Yao's legs were kneeling hard. It is already very good for us to meet Miss Wan, so you can be content! She is smart, you I suspect that they mean something, if they are stupid, and you say that they are pretending to be stupid, what are you going to do? Sister Yang, since the queen mother picked us two, our life and death honor and disgrace have been tied to Miss Wan. Miss Wan is good, so are we, and if Miss Wan is not good, we can't get better! Miss Wan is a person that the Queen Mother values, and no one can change this, even if Jia Yuanchun is pregnant with a prince, even if Jia's family changes It's useless to think about it! Miss Wan's fate was decided from the very beginning. What you and I have to do is to teach her with all our strength, and even assist her. This is Miss Wan's fate, and it's also our fate!"

Nanny Yang blushed, as if she didn't want to say more.Seeing her like this, Nanny Fang sighed, "Think about it for yourself!" After finishing speaking, Nanny Fang went back first, leaving Nanny Yang alone, leaning against the window, looking at a new bend in the sky. moon.

On the second day, Jia Wan wandered around the garden as usual, because she knew that Xue Baochai was ill, so she went to Hengwu Garden on purpose.It's a pity that Ying'er stopped her at the door, "Miss Qiao, I'm so sorry, our girl is still asleep, Miss Lao made this trip herself."

Jia Wan smiled, "Is Aunt Xue better? When I got up early, I heard from the nuns that Aunt Xue had a wind blowing in the garden yesterday, and she was not feeling well, so I thought of coming over to see her. I'm still asleep, so I won't bother you, I'll go back first." Then he turned around and planned to go back.

He bumped into Aunt Xue who was rushing over. Aunt Xue only found out about Baochai's illness early in the morning, so she hurried over.I didn't want to but saw Jia Wan.

Ying'er smiled awkwardly, but Jia Wan didn't take it seriously, she smiled and blessed Aunt Xue, "Is the concubine here to see Aunt Xue? Come in quickly! Aunt Xue must have seen her concubine, and her illness is half healed." .”

Aunt Xue stopped and said with a smile: "Thank you for thinking about it, I came early in the morning, go back quickly, the old lady has changed her time."

Jia Wan nodded and left with a smile.

Aunt Xue watched Jia Wan walk away, and walked into the Hengwu Garden in three steps at a time. She reprimanded Ying'er as she walked, "Since the girl is sick, why didn't you tell me earlier? How is the girl now? What's the matter?" What's going on, how can a good person get sick?"

Ying'er said aggrievedly: "Young lady won't tell my wife, and the maidservant can't do anything about it! The young lady is much better now. In my opinion, the young lady seems to be angry this time. I don't know where the young lady got angry. Last night I Seeing that the girl hadn't come back for a long time, I went out to look for the girl, and went to Yihong Courtyard first. Huancai said that the girl had been away for a while, and I thought she was on the way. I thought that the girl might have a good moonlight, and went to the garden. So I searched along the Furong Embankment until I found Qinfang Pavilion. I saw the girl sitting there. When I got closer, I saw that the girl was blushing like something. When I touched it, her forehead was hot! The girl is always strong and can't blow. After a while, the wind caught cold, and I thought, the girl must have heard something somewhere, or got angry. I asked the girl, but the girl just didn't say anything!"

Aunt Xue was stunned for a moment, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, she had never heard what Baochai could hear, although she hated Mrs Wang for crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but now that the Xue family was weak and depended on the Jia family everywhere, she could only swallow her anger and act as Did not hear this.Baochai must have heard this too!She has always been a proud and arrogant person, but now that the tiger is in peace, it is inevitable that she will be angry!It's just my son, if you get angry, what should I do!

Aunt Xue said as she walked, "Girl is good-natured, usually you should persuade her more to make her less angry, don't stick to the present, and think about everything later."

Ying'er nodded, "By the way, madam, there is one more thing, Miss's Lengxiang pills are running out!"

Aunt Xue stopped in her tracks, "How many are left?"

Yinger said, "There are eight pills left."

Aunt Xue frowned, "How can you use it so quickly? Don't you have eighteen pills left before you enter Beijing?"

Ying'er sighed, "In the past few years, the girl has often suffered from illnesses. Every time she fell ill, she would need two or three pills to suppress it. After a long time, she will naturally..."

Aunt Xue couldn't do anything about it. The Lengxiang pills were hard-won. It took three years to make 24 pills.Now, there is only so much left, and she has no other choice but to persuade Baochai to cultivate her morality and not to get angry easily.

When Aunt Xue saw Xue Baochai, she forgot all her words, "My son, why did you become like this?"

The author has something to say: My mother set off for my elder brother this morning. Before leaving, she said something that made me worry about it. It probably meant that I should go back to my own home in the future and not stay here (I My husband works the day shift one day and the night shift one day. I sleep at my mother’s house when he is on the night shift.) Because my younger brother’s family also sleeps at my mother’s house, and my father sleeps on the sofa when he has no place to sleep.My younger brother said that when I sleep here in the future, they will go back to sleep at their own house (his house and my mother's house are in the same community, just two buildings away).Then my mother said the above sentence.In fact, when she said it was very ugly, telling me to go back to my own home or something.My husband was there at the time, and I'm not sure if he heard it.It's just that I was very uncomfortable at the time.What I want to say is that I didn't stay at your house for nothing, didn't I also take care of the children for you?As for talking like this?At that time, I was so angry that I thought I would never sleep in your house again.But after thinking about it, she is my mother, and there is no overnight feud between mother and daughter.She gave birth to me and raised me. I can't turn against her because of such a trivial matter.In fact, my mother has always been a very strong person, which is manifested in all aspects of life. I am also used to her way of speaking, although sometimes I feel very sad.But she is also unintentional, she is such a person, not only with me, but also with others, everyone in the family knows her temper.Sometimes when I was crying with anger from my mother, my dad and my brother would persuade me, you know her temper, why take her words seriously.Alas, it's all because of my laziness!Go home and sleep tonight!At worst, work harder in the morning.Save yourself the trouble.My little nephew is so young, I can't bear it, he was carried around early in the morning, he is better now, what should I do when it is winter?I have said so much nonsense, I hope it will not affect everyone's mood!Please support us a lot!
