The Historian of the Red Chamber has a daughter

On this day, Shi Xiangyun was practicing calligraphy when he heard Qingming report that Aunt Xue had come.Shi Xiangyun put down his pen in doubt, wondering what the well-behaved Aunt Xue is doing here.It's just that although she was puzzled, she quickly washed her hands and went outside, "Auntie is here, come in and sit down!"

The moment they met each other, Shi Xiangyun almost didn't dare to recognize her. Aunt Xue said that her youth was fleeting before, but because of the proper maintenance, and the simplicity of Xue's house, there are no concubine and concubines to make troubles, so she looks much younger than Mrs. Wang.But in just a few days, Aunt Xue has aged more than ten years, her temples are graying, she has lost a lot of weight, and she looks more and more old.

"I know that Sister Bao has gone, and my aunt is sad, but for Brother Gui, I have to take care of myself!" Shi Xiangyun helped Aunt Xue to go inside.

When Xue Baochai was mentioned, Aunt Xue's eyes turned red and she began to cry again, but at any rate she thought of the purpose of her visit today, so she hurriedly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, "I came today to thank you for your sister Bao! I was sad, but I didn't care about other things at all, and Tong Xi reminded me later. Good boy, if it wasn't for you, your sister Bao would not be able to rest in peace."

Shi Xiangyun just remembered this incident, and the situation at that time did not allow her to hesitate. Even if she didn't like Sister Bao very much, the child was innocent after all, not to mention that the two had always had a good relationship on the surface. "What did Auntie say? I was just fooling around. Brother Gui is also very lucky!"

Aunt Xue smiled, "You don't take credit for it, it's because you have a good character, but I can't help thinking of you. Now that your sister Bao is gone, Pan'er seems to be a different person, and she is willing to work hard to learn how to do it." The business is over, if there is another boy and half girl tomorrow, I will have to take care of my grandson for the rest of my life. Brother Gui will be taken care of by his grandmother, so I am relieved."

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly asked with a smile: "I haven't seen Brother Gui for a few days, I wonder if he has gained weight recently?"

Aunt Xue knew that what Shi Xiangyun said was not true, and she also knew that Mrs. Wang now treats Brother Gui as an eyeball and hurts. Except for the old lady and herself, she will not let anyone get close to Brother Gui, but that's fine, others There is no way to get close to Brother Gui, and naturally there is no way to harm Brother Gui. "I saw it just now. I gained weight and grew taller. I was born like a kitten, but now I'm so big. I can eat a lot. My sister said that the milk of a wet nurse is not enough for him to eat. Okay. In a family like ours, they don’t care about the money, just hire a few more wet nurses.”

"It's a blessing to be able to eat! Brother Gui is very lucky! Auntie, don't worry!" Shi Xiangyun said with a smile, and then asked hesitantly: "Second brother, will you visit Brother Gui these days?"

When Jia Baoyu was mentioned, Aunt Xue's face immediately darkened. Now she regretted it unceasingly, hating herself for mistaking fish eyes for pearls. Jia Baoyu's performance made her terribly disappointed!If it wasn't for Brother Gui's sake, she would have stopped treating him as her son-in-law long ago.Now for Brother Gui, I have to endure it!

Seeing this, Shi Xiangyun quickly changed the subject, "Auntie, drink tea quickly. This is Longjing tea before the rain, and it was brought by sister Lin. How about a auntie?"

Aunt Xue smiled, took a sip from the teacup, and said with a smile: "The concubine sent it, of course it is good." Then she took Shi Xiangyun's hand and talked about many things about their sisters together in the past, and finally rolled her eyes. Wiping her tears, she said: "Now that Miss Lin has become a princess, she is extremely honorable. The second girl is doing well. Although she gave birth to a daughter, she is quite doted on because of her resemblance to Mrs. Weiyuan Hou Tai. The third girl got married as she wished. Shenjun Palace, but my Baochai! My poor brother Gui, who was born without a mother! Every time I think about it, I feel very sad."

Shi Xiangyun stood aside in embarrassment. She knew the reason for Aunt Xue's visit. In addition to thanking her, it was more of an emotional kidnapping. She hoped that she and Sister Lin could help Brother Gui more in the future based on the old sisterhood.In fact, Aunt Xue didn't need to say more about these things, they would definitely help if they could, but when Aunt Xue said this, she felt a change of taste.It's just that she can't blame Aunt Xue, because Aunt Xue is only asking for Brother Gui, not for the Xue family as in the past, which is more acceptable to her.

"Don't worry, aunt! As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed! Although Brother Gui has no mother, she still has a great-grandmother, a grandmother, and an aunt who is the concubine's direct relative, let alone us. , Auntie, just put 1 hearts at ease!"

Aunt Xue stopped her tears, and she also knew that too much was too late. Although Shi Xiangyun didn't say it clearly, she also had this meaning.If she continued talking, it would be counterproductive.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your good words, I hope Brother Gui is all right!"

Shi Xiangyun sent Aunt Xue away, turned around and went back to the room, looked at the half-written words on the table, and was not interested in continuing to write for a while, so he simply threw away his hand and picked a book from the shelf to read.

Gu Yu came in to deliver tea, and asked curiously: "Girl, what is the purpose of Mrs. Xue's visit? And what about the things she left behind?"

Shi Xiangyun said: "What else can it be for? The meaning inside and outside the words is to take care of Brother Gui more in the future! In fact, if she doesn't say anything, I will help. But forget it, Aunt Xue is not easy. As for those things , put it away first! After all, it’s her wish!"

Gu Yu snorted, turned around and planned to pack up her things.

"Gu Yu, wait a minute." Shi Xiangyun stopped her suddenly, "Hey, tell me, what happened to the second brother recently? I heard Aunt Xue's tone, there seems to be something wrong here!"

As soon as Jia Baoyu was mentioned, Gu Yu immediately showed disdain. If Gu Yu had a good impression of the Second Master Bao who was praised by everyone in the Jia family when he first came to Jia's house, but now, he doesn't have any good feelings at all. up. "Girl, you don't know! Second Master Bao, there is really nothing to say! It is said that a husband has to observe filial piety for a year after his wife dies! But Second Master Bao is fine, let alone keeping filial piety. Shangxiang has never appeared, and Gui Geer has never even met face to face since he was born. Now he is with a few maids all day long, saying that he is recovering from his illness, but in fact he is just hanging out! The second wife doesn’t care about him! The second master also I don't know what he was busy with, but he became more and more wanton because he was used to it. In the bright sky, he rolled on the bed with the maids! "

"Gu Yu!" Li Xia hurried in and said angrily, "You damn girl, you dare to say any nonsense to the girl! Be careful, I'll wring your tongue!"

Gu Yu shrank her head in fright, and quickly slipped away.

Shi Xiangyun looked at Gu Yu's back with some regret, "What do you think she is doing, I'm really listening!"

Li Xia was full of helplessness, "Miss, have you forgotten the nuns? If the nuns find out, you should be more careful, miss."

Shi Xiangyun stuck out his tongue, "Isn't it just because the nuns are not here? Hey, is the matter of Second Master Bao true? Don't you all know about it?"

A trace of disdain flashed in Li Xia's eyes, obviously he couldn't understand Jia Baoyu's behavior, he looked around and saw no one else was around, so he nodded, "Well, that's right! During this time, Jia's family has been in chaos. Very soon, the old lady was in a bad mood, and the second wife was all about Brother Gui now, and no one cared about her. The second wife only said that the second master Bao was scared, and asked the maids to guard the second master Bao day and night. Who I know, Second Master Bao is so insane! I have seen those maids before, even Gu Yu is inferior, let alone Qingwen, Xiren, and Sheyue. Tsk tsk, it is true!"

Shi Xiangyun looked at Li Xia in surprise, she really can't be judged by her appearance, don't look at her upright and stable appearance, it turns out that she is also gossip like this when she gossips!frenzied?This word is used really well, isn't it just crazy!

"It's just, girl, I don't think we can just let it go like this. After all, good things don't go out, and bad things spread far and wide! The Jia family's reputation is ruined, and it's not a good thing for Miss Yu and Princess Qi. Girl, you should remind the old lady! How can there be a wife who messes around with a maid in Rexiaozhong!" Li Xia said.

Shi Xiangyun thought about it, and it was indeed the case.She thought, it is impossible for a shrewd person like Wang Xifeng not to know about Jia Baoyu's nasty things, so what kind of thinking did she have in order not to tell the old lady!Isn't she afraid of implicating sister Qiao's reputation?

Maybe it's because the old lady might misunderstand!After all, Dafang and Erfang don't say that they are in the same situation now, and they can't go back to the past.

Shi Xiangyun thought, "Forget it, let me remind the old lady! Whether the old lady takes care of it or not is not my business."

When Shi Xiangyun arrived at Rongqing Hall, Wang Xifeng happened to be there too, and seemed to be talking to Jia Mu, but seeing Shi Xiangyun coming, Wang Xifeng stopped talking.

Jia Mu frowned, "If you have anything to say, just say it. You are not an outsider."

Wang Xifeng coughed, "Old Ancestor, you have misunderstood me. I don't treat Sister Yun as an outsider. It's really what I want to say, not for Sister Yun, an unmarried girl."

When Shi Xiangyun heard this, his heart moved, "It seems that Sister Feng and I are talking about the same thing. Ancestor, I came here for this matter. Although this matter has little to do with me, it has nothing to do with the Jia family. Reputation, if it gets out at 01:30, the fourth sister and sister Qiao will all be affected in the future, and perhaps the one who will be most affected is Brother Gui."

Seeing that the two of them were so cautious, Jia's mother also became serious, "Just tell me what it is."

Wang Xifeng thought for a while, "It's better to ask the second wife to come and listen to this matter, and let the second wife gossip afterwards."

Shi Xiangyun also nodded, "Yes! What Sister Feng said makes sense."
