The Lady of the Farm in the Red Mansion

Ever since Xiuyan knew that Mother Jia intended to give her to Baoyu as a concubine, she had been avoiding everyone, especially Baoyu. She rarely left the yard except to sit with Miss Lin every day.

In the twinkling of an eye, winter came. One day, Daiyu was knitting on a brown goose down and feather pillow. Xiuyan sat by the bed and helped her thread the pearl thread, looking at the gold and silver threads in the small basket. The black Pearl, which was as big as a grain of rice, Xiuyan asked curiously: "Sister, what are you doing this for? It looks weird!"

"You don't know. Some time ago, Baoyu saw a piece of ancient jade in Cheng Rixing's antique shop. It was crystal clear and radiant, warm and moist. It was the top grade of ancient jade. He liked it very much, so he bought it without saying a word and said he would give it away. Give it to me. After getting it back, I found a problem. This jade is beautiful, but it is as round as a bead. A plum blossom net of black pearl thread wrapped it up, and sister Feng just gave me a red gold plum blossom necklace, and there was no pendant underneath. Wouldn’t it be nice to put this pendant on now! I don’t usually like that thing , and thinking that Sister Bao is wearing a gold lock collar, why don't I match you with a gold one, wouldn't it be in line with the theory of a golden and jade marriage!"

"Sister, I'm having a hard time walking in this garden now. I thought that only you are the only one who is quiet here. I didn't expect you to come and make fun of me!"

"Okay, I was wrong! It's no good for me to accompany my sister in this room!" As she said, she bowed deliberately.

"You crazy girl!" Xiuyan poked Daiyu's forehead, and Daiyu squeaked Xiuyan again, so the two played together, very happy.

At this time Baoyu came in, Zijuan just wanted to inform, Baoyu waved his hand and went straight in, just happened to meet the intimate scene of the two of them embracing, and was so happy that he was so excited that he said indiscriminately: "I don't know." In the future, whoever has good fortune will accept the two of you!"

Xiuyan heard Baoyu's voice and got up quickly, wanting to hide in the room, but Daiyu took her hand and said, "Sister, why are you hiding from him? I'm here, and I'm afraid he won't eat you up." !"

Xiuyan turned around and sat back obediently, but when she thought that she was going to be his concubine, and the man in her heart was not her, the feeling of shyness would be a hundred times stronger than that of ordinary people.

It's different for Miss Lin who likes Second Master Bao. I only heard Daiyu tease: "You'll get a bargain and act like a good boy. Ask questions knowingly!"

Baoyu smiled foolishly. Daiyu always blocked Baoyu from having anything to say.

At this time, he saw the netting of the black pearl thread, and asked, "What are the two sisters doing?"

Daiyu said: "Do you still remember the piece of jade you gave me? I want to make a knot to tie it up, and then tie it to the plum blossom necklace that Sister Feng gave me, and then give it to Sister Xing to wear!"

"What is my sister's intention in doing this?" Baoyu's eyes gleamed slyly, obviously he had read Daiyu's mind.

Daiyu didn't hide it either: "I just can't see that Sister Bao wears a golden lock piece every day, and promotes a golden and jade marriage everywhere! I just want Sister Xing to wear a gold lock, and I also put your seamless stubborn jade Get on the cage and piss them off!"

"Sister, you are relieved, but you can push your sister Xing to the point of the knife!" Baoyu persuaded softly.

"Really? I didn't expect this. Sister Xing, I'm sorry, I almost hurt you!"

Xiuyan shook her head and smiled lightly, expressing that she didn't mind, Daiyu didn't mean to harm her, but she was too innocent.

In the end, Daiyu still gave Xiuyan the collar and jade, but told her to keep them and not to wear them. Then Baoyu discussed with Daiyu that there were too few waiters in Xiuyan's yard, so he wanted to add one or two. So Daiyu sent a little girl from her, and Baoyu gave Xiuyan the Zhuan'er in her house. Zhuan'er knew that Xiuyan would be Baoyu's aunt in the future, so she served Xiuyan with all her heart.

Xiuyan returned to the house with mixed feelings, she was not jealous of Daiyu, she knew that she was not qualified to be jealous of Daiyu, she just felt that the role she played was too embarrassing, she obviously didn't like the second master, but she had to give it to her. He was a concubine, and at the same time, she didn't understand that Miss Lin and the second master had such a good relationship, why did they have to make a concubine between them, wouldn't they have pimples in their hearts?Or men are greedy, and Daiyu loves him too much. If this is the case, Miss Lin is really great.

But why is it her again, just because she is poor and can't afford any waves?She still represents the power of Dafang.

No matter what the reason is, Xiuyan doesn't want to think about it anymore. Life is full of helplessness. It's like this in brother Mu's love, and it's like this in her own marriage. Maybe taking a concubine is the same for Miss Lin. It's a kind of helplessness. The old matriarch has already made a concession by letting Miss Lin choose her own concubine.This is the helplessness of the big family, and it is also the helplessness of women!
