The Lady of the Farm in the Red Mansion

Everyone looked at it strangely, this one said it was amber, that one said it was agate, at this moment a weak voice said: "I think I know what it is."

Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by Xiuyan, and they looked at her intently.

Xiu Yan said: "This is a tourmaline!"

"Tourmaline?" Everyone was shocked by this strange name!

Xiuyan didn't pay any attention to the strange looks of the crowd, and only focused on learning: "Tourmaline is a kind of multicolored stone, its color is gorgeous and full of changes, its texture is warm and moist like jade, crystal clear, it is the most charming stone! "

Mrs. Shi immediately became unhappy when she heard the word "amorous feelings". She raised her body, put on western reading glasses, and said indifferently: "Let me take a look, I want to see what it looks like." There are so many styles!"

So Li Wan lifted it up carefully, and knelt on the edge of Shi Taijun's big kang.

Shi Taijun took the lens and looked at it: "I seem to have seen this thing before. By the way, when I was a child, my father gave me a bracelet exactly like this one, but I didn't recognize it at the time. I thought it was just an ordinary stone, so I don't know where to throw it. , I just learned today that it is also famous, tourmaline, although the name sounds nice! But the color is too bright after all, it is not something that serious girls like us wear!"

"It's no wonder that our ancestors got it at the time, but lost it by chance. It turns out that it is not worthy of our ancestor's status!" Sister Feng said.

"In this case, the ancestors should give it to their grandsons!"

"It's not a good thing. Since you like it, you can take it, but I don't know how Miss Xing recognizes this thing?"

"I guess Miss Xing made it up too!"

"Our family Baoyu likes to make up, so cats and dogs all come to learn! Make the ancestors happy!"

"I don't think Miss Xing made it up!" Mrs. Shi's eyes were sharp.

Xiuyan had no choice but to answer: "I saw it in a book!"

"what book?"

"Can't remember the name!"

"I don't even remember the name, so it's a bastard book that is not popular. I advise the girl to quit. The well-behaved girls in our house don't read those bastard books. They read too much of that kind of book. It’s not good to be infected with demonic nature and lose your temper! If the girl is really in a hurry, just look at the (female ring) more, it’s very good for the girl!”

Mrs. Shi reprimanded Xiuyan in front of everyone. Others would have been too ashamed to be ashamed, but Xiuyan has a strong mentality and endured more than ordinary girls. She only blushed slightly, and then remained calm He replied: "The old ancestors taught it well, so I just quit!"

So Shi Taijun sighed and shook his head, ignored her, took Baoqin's hand, and gave her a cloak made of wild duck feathers. , Xia Xuezhuer will come in handy, lest someone take it into consideration when it is placed here!"

"Qin'er thanked the old ancestor!" Jia Mu put on a string of bright red wagling incense rosary beads for her.

Everyone has income, except Xiuyan, who would have been crying to death if it were someone else, but Xiuyan didn't seem to care, resigned Jia Mu and went back to her residence in a gracious manner.

Although she didn't care about these external things, she still felt a little pain in her heart.

Looking at the back of Xiuyan leaving, Jia's mother felt a little pain in her heart. Although the child was pretending to be strong, Jia's mother could see her pain clearly. She asked Lin Zhixiao's family: "Did I do something today?" It's a little too much! It broke the child's heart!"

"My heart must be hurt, but the ancestor is also doing it for her own good. If he doesn't use strong medicine, how can he stop her from the brink!"

"I'm afraid that child will blame me from now on!"

"If she corrects her past mistakes and cultivates her character, she will live up to the old matriarch's love for her. If she is stubborn, then she is a fool. The old matriarch can just throw her out, and they will be irrelevant from now on!"

Having said that, Mother Jia still felt a faint pain in her heart. After all, she was a compassionate old man. For the sake of the other girls in the garden, especially her beloved granddaughter Daiyu, this time she was really hurting Xiuyan. Guilt is unavoidable, but if she is given another choice, she will put the overall situation first!

This time, Mother Jia used Xiuyan as a raft, which sounded the alarm to the other sisters in the garden, especially Daiyu. Daiyu knew that her grandmother was going to tell her through Sister Xing's story that she must not behave virtuously before she officially married Baoyu. Unfortunately, if someone caught her, her plan would come to naught. Thinking of this, Daiyu was always so worried that she couldn't sleep at night.

It is said that after Xiuyan returned to the room, she stopped talking and just sat there in a daze. Nanny Zhou also heard about what happened in the old lady's house today. She saw her girl come back like this, she thought the girl couldn't stand it. Stimulate phlegm fans.

Last time, the situation of Second Lord Bao was similar to that of Xiuyan today, so she stepped forward and explained in words: "Girl, don't take it to heart, the old matriarch really loves you so she said a few more words about you, you know that too. Virtue is the most important among these Gongmen Houfu. I think Baoyu was beaten half to death when the master found out because he had read a few magic books! Let alone a girl’s family, although the girl has read a few magic books, she doesn’t have to feel ashamed Well, how many books has Ms. Lin read, and Ms. Bao has taught her about this matter, so maybe Ms. Bao has read it herself, so even if this matter is known to everyone, it is not a shameful thing, as long as you don’t change your temperament. , Just read it, what’s the big deal!”

Xiuyan turned her head to look at Nanny Zhou, without speaking, with a trace of sadness in her eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that, girl?"

"I'm not sad about this!" Xiuyan said lightly.

"Who is that girl?"

"It's because of the old lady!"

"Oh, miss, seeing the old ancestor doting on Miss Qin is not a good feeling! This is because the girl is worrying too much. Based on my understanding of the old ancestor, she is not really doting on Miss Qin. She is removing obstacles for Miss Lin. First, it was Miss Bao, and then Miss Qin. Didn’t you hear that she forced the second wife to accept Miss Qin as her goddaughter? Miss Lin is the only one she really loves, so the jealousy of the girl is for nothing!"

"It's not jealousy, it's chilling!"

"Chilling!" Nanny Zhou was puzzled.

The old lady used Xiuyan as a raft to show everyone this layer. Daiyu understood, and of course Xiuyan also understood. She did not blame Daiyu, but only blamed her own humble background. How many victims like her are there!Thinking of this, Xiuyan suddenly felt extremely chilled, even a benevolent person like the old matriarch could sacrifice others to achieve his goals, let alone other people in the mansion.

Xiuyan suddenly felt that this place was terrible and wanted to escape from here, but where could she go if she left here? Her father has no job now, her younger brother has not yet gone to school, and her mother is in charge of the melon and vegetable garden. A hundred coins, what is enough, as long as she stays in this garden, she will have two taels of silver a month, and if she spends one tael, she can still have a tael to take care of the house!

Thinking of this, Xiuyan could only swallow her anger, no matter how scheming Mother Jia was or what Sister Feng had planned, she just didn't have to care about it, as long as she was able to live, it was a day, and when she absolutely couldn't live, she packed her bags and left yes!Fortunately, all the sisters treat each other "sincerely", and this garden is not too difficult.

Baoyu saw that all the sisters had received rewards, but Xiuyan did not, so he sent a little girl to bring a brocade box and a letter.

Xiuyan opens the box and sees the string of sparkling and colorful tourmaline bracelets. She is both surprised and delighted. What surprises her is that the second master Bao dares to be as bold as a fellow. It's not against me, the good news is that she really likes this thing, she doesn't think it's wrong to be all kinds of coquettish, on the contrary, she appreciates its coquettish style, maybe this is consistent with the rebellious blood flowing in her bones.

Xiuyan opened the letter, and saw that it said: "Now that my sister recognizes the tourmaline, I can see that my sister is definitely not an ordinary person. Although I am an ordinary person, I also want to make friends with my sister. If my sister doesn't dislike it, I will accept this tourmaline." , from now on, you and I are connected, and it is not in vain to go through this secular world!"

"This precious jade has become deranged again. Hurry up and burn it. What happened just now, if this letter is picked up and read by others, it will be a disaster!" Nanny Zhou said.

Xiuyan handed the letter to Nanny Zhou to burn it, but her heart was extremely clear. It turned out that there was still someone in this world who understood her, and she suddenly felt that a corner of this dark Grand View Garden was lit up.

It's fine not to be a concubine but to be a confidant in the world of mortals. In her heart, she pretended not to be him. If she really made him a concubine, she would have deceived him and herself.

This ending is very good, Xiuyan feels that she is much more relaxed than before, maybe in the depths of Xiuyan's heart she resists being a concubine for Baoyu, the concubine is the shackles put on her by Jiamu, Sister Feng and even her parents However, by chance, Baochai, who wanted to harm her, helped her.

Immediately afterwards, Daiyu sent another little girl to bring her a gift to comfort her, Xiuyan wrote a reply letter for the little girl to take back, and the letter was full of words to reassure Daiyu.

After Daiyu saw it, she was filled with emotions, and thought, Sister Xing is really not an ordinary woman, her strength is unmatched by many men, this time it is not like she is comforting her, but like she is comforting her! After this incident Daiyu's love for Xiuyan rose to admiration.
