Daiyu's wife in the Red Chamber

Ever since Third Sister You decided to marry Liu Xianglian, even though she was lonely beside her pillow, she still ignored everyone and went to the door happily with Mrs. You, mother and daughter. She wanted to see what kind of person Miss Chen was before asking Liu Xianglian, I thought everything would be as it should be, but I didn't want to be robbed by Chen's mother, my face turned red and white in embarrassment, and I felt ashamed.

Mrs. You has never been angry since her second marriage. She trembled with anger when she heard Mother Chen's words, and said: "My poor daughter is full of infatuation, why do you use these words to insult her!"

Chen's mother asked back: "Don't you all bring shame on yourself?"

Third Sister You could hear clearly that Chen's mother taunted her like this, so she knew that she had heard about the scandals in the past and thought she was a shameless person. Seeing the unusually beautiful Miss Chen sitting beside her, she was speechless.

Seeing that Mrs. You wanted to argue with Chen's mother, Third Sister You hurriedly held her down, and said with tears in her eyes, "Mom, don't do that, it's useless to talk too much."

Turning around, he said to Mother Chen: "It turns out that our mother and daughter came to the door hastily without complaint. I can't blame my wife for such a reaction. I am a firm person. I have decided to change my past and serve my mother in peace. I don't have any other thoughts about finding someone to rely on for life, I just hope my wife will understand me a little bit because of my infatuation."

Miss Chen laughed back angrily, and said: "Why? I made a marriage contract with Liu Lang, why did you come to me to confess your love? You waited for Liu Lang to come back to finish the lifelong event, where did you put me?"

Chen's mother shouted: "Rui'er entered the house, what is your identity!"

After hearing this, Miss Chen understood her mother's intentions, stood up, turned her head and went into the room, after all, she was curious about the thoughts of Third Sister You, mother and daughter, and listened attentively. Fortunately, there were only three upper rooms in her house, and she could clearly understand it through a door. Hear speech in the hall.

Seeing that her daughter was not there, Chen's mother became more relaxed, and sneered, "Ms. You, I call you a girl because you haven't combed your hair. Seriously, you deserve to be called a girl? Don't insult me." The word girl. I understand roughly what you are thinking. You are not begging us to divorce, but you just want to see what kind of temperament my daughter is. It is up to you to decide. Accept these thoughts in front of me! Although our family is only a side branch and has no ability to run rampant in the capital, it is not a family that allows the Jia family to intimidate it!"

Mrs. You couldn't help being very angry, and said: "It turned out that our family was poor, no match for power and wealth, and the two daughters had no choice but to stumble. Now that they have changed their ways, why bother to say these hurtful words?"

Mother Chen sneered, and said: "These words are to deceive those who don't know the world! Even if I don't ask, I know what your family is like. Your aunt and grandma are the mistresses of the Ningguo Mansion, and you are needed. Ladies, do dirty things to support your family? If you are too poor to eat, then that’s fine. You are not so poor, but you are just greedy for wealth and honor, thinking about pearls, gems, silk and satin. Ask in the capital, who I don’t know that the ugly things you have done are worse than that prostitute and actor! The prostitute and actress have fallen into the world, and they are more likely to die than to be humbled! Since I have changed my past, I will not mention these past events, just ask a question , you mend your ways, why do you have to marry someone else if you want to?"

Chen's mother's words almost pierced the hearts of Mrs. You's mother and daughter. The third sister You felt a surge of anger, which was as high as three feet. Talk like that?", Mother Chen squinted at her, still with a sneer on her lips, and said: "Why can't I talk like this? You can do it, but I can't say it? Let me talk nicely? Look in the mirror tomorrow to see if you are worthy! The upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked. I don’t know how you, a mother, teach by example, so that two sisters of the same family start working as prostitutes, and I don’t know Is there you among them! Look at you, you are several years younger than Uncle Zhen of Ningguo Mansion."

Madam You's face turned purple immediately, and she blurted out: "You spitting blood!"

Mother Chen picked up the tea bowl and said, "Whether it's true or not, whether it's true or not, only you know it in your heart. Outsiders don't know the details. Just based on what your two daughters have done, you can't keep a remarried person clean." Miss You, you two girls are young, and now you are determined to reform, and you can be regarded as knowing shame, so I won’t say much to ridicule you, in life, you have to give the reformed people a way to live, regardless of gender. But , you shouldn’t come to us, and you shouldn’t want to marry him without asking if he’s married so you can accomplish lifelong events! I’ll leave it here, if you insist on going your own way, you want to ruin my daughter and son-in-law Don’t blame me for being ruthless after I leave the marriage! Come and see off the guests!”

After getting engaged, the two women Liu Xianglian sent to serve her parents-in-law came over, forced Lao Niang You and Third Sister You to go out, spat at the door, and said, "I really think I am a gold jade, and I think others should Holding it in reverence? Our uncle is ruthless if he doesn't marry? I don't know where the whimsy came from!"

Third Sister You was ashamed and angry, and she cried a lot when she came back, she was so distraught that she could hardly recognize anyone.

Mrs. You pinched her loved ones a few times, but she couldn't respond. She was so frightened that she hurriedly sent her mother-in-law to send a letter to Jia Zhen and Xue Pan, telling them to ask a doctor to see a doctor for Third Sister You, and then dragged Xue Pan who had rushed over. He cried with Second Sister You about what happened in Chen's house, but he didn't go into detail about the past events brought up by Chen's mother, because he was afraid that Xue Pan would have doubts about Second Sister You.

Second Sister You couldn't help crying and said: "I told you earlier, they have already engaged, but you don't believe in evil, so you have to go to make fun of it."

Xue Pan was furious, with a fierce expression on his face, he took the latch and went out, angrily said: "I'll go and see what the Chen family is up to, how dare you taunt my Master Taishan like this!"

Second Sister You hurriedly grabbed him, Second Sister You knew she was ashamed, Mother Chen was right, so she persuaded Xue Pan, "What are you going to do? No, it made people laugh out loud. The third girl fell in love with Liu Xianglian, waiting for him to come back wholeheartedly, was originally a beautiful thing, a good story, who would have thought that Liu Xianglian was engaged early, and had such a powerful mother-in-law? If Liu Xianglian also had intentions for the third girl, it would be fine, but she gave birth to Liu Since Xianglian isn't in the capital, it's hard to ask."

Xue Pan threw open the door latch and said, "What's the matter? Ask Baoyu to write a letter to Liu Xianglian. I don't believe that Sanmei is such a romantic and beautiful woman. Liu Xianglian refuses to take it. I remember that he vowed to marry a beautiful woman." .” If he hadn’t already taken a fancy to Second Sister You, who was in high spirits right now, he might also covet his sister-in-law’s beauty.

After hearing this, Mrs. You agreed, "That's right, I'll ask my uncle to worry about it! The third girl is very stubborn, if she can't marry Liu Xianglian, I'm afraid she will really shave her hair and become a sister-in-law." As she spoke, she couldn't help crying , I don't know if Third Sister You can slow down, and she scolds Mother Chen again.

Second Sister You has always been infatuated and soft-hearted, seeing that her mother and Xue Pan have made up their minds, she can only let them do it.

Third Sister You had already reacted, sent the doctor away, and came out and said, "If I don't ask him what he means, I will not be reconciled after all. I will trouble my brother-in-law with this matter. The elder brother-in-law's family had a funeral that day, and we were together when we were wearing mourning." I also met Baoyu. He is a rare understanding person. He gets along very well with the sisters. If he thinks about it, he will help. I don’t ask anything else, just Liu Xianglian. If he is willing in his heart, I don’t care about my wife. The concubine is a girl, and she followed him wholeheartedly!"

Xue Pan sighed: "I don't know what's so good about Liu Xianglian. My sister just misses him like this, so she looks more handsome than others. It's strange to say that my sister is pretty, and my sister remembers it just by looking at him."

No, Baoyu heard about Xue Pan's intentions, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no! Liu Xianglian talked about a marriage with great difficulty, and he begged for several times before he agreed. Miss Chen is wearing a phoenix crown and Xiapei to make things difficult for the two of them, what kind of person am I? Big brother Xue, get over it quickly and don't do anything difficult to deal with."

In Baoyu's heart, she doesn't like the pair of beautiful women, the second sister You and the third sister You very much. It's out of line.

Xue Pan stared and said, "Good brother, you are not willing to help with such a trivial matter?"

Baoyu shook his head and said, "Where is it a trivial matter? It is actually a lifelong event between Liu Xianglian and Miss Chen! If Liu Xianglian hadn't promised her marriage, she would have been a match made in heaven. It's a pity that she has already engaged, and Third Sister You shouldn't be like this .”

Xue Pan said dissatisfiedly: "Is it the third sister who kisses you, or Miss Chen who is closer to you? My relatives don't say they are helping, but worry about others. You are really a precious brother, and you are more and more distant from each other. Maybe You sent a letter to Liu Xianglian, Liu Xianglian is also willing to marry the third sister? Isn't it a good thing?"

Baoyu was also dissatisfied, and couldn't help but retort: ​​"I don't think it's a good thing, Big Brother Xue didn't look for me! You are lucky, Miss Chen is so innocent? Miss Chen lives at home safely and as she pleases. Why do you have to encounter divorce? Besides, Liu Xianglian doesn't know who Third Sister You is at all. Does Third Sister You have to marry him if she wants to marry him? I only know that I used to be an idiot and ignorant of the world. So what you think Worse than me!"

Xue Pan panted, and said, "Why doesn't it make any sense? But let me ask Liu Xianglian, there may be some good news. The third sister was born so neat and beautiful, which is rare in the world. How many people hold pearls and gems? If you don't get a straight look from her, why don't you pity her? In just a few days, she has become as thin as a bone."

Baoyu counted and said earnestly: "Big Brother, Old Lady You and Third Sister You are Miss Chen who went to see you yesterday. Even if you don't drink water or rice for three days, you won't be as thin as a bone. You must have been cheated. They deliberately That said, I want to soften your heart."

When he was sick, he was starved for several days without being skinny. Third Sister You had only been sad for a day, and she became thinner for no reason.

Ming Yan heard about it outside, chuckled, and said loudly: "Second Master, didn't you mean to go and see if there are any good things to buy outside, so that I can add makeup to Miss Lin in the future? We should go, it's too late, Good things are gone."

Baoyu patted his forehead hurriedly, smiled at Xue Pan, and said, "Yes, I have something urgent to go out. Brother, this matter cannot be accepted, so you can think of other ways. No, you guys have to go out for this matter." Don't mention it again, since ancient times, how can there be a woman who chases a man? And they are engaged."

Before Xue Pan agreed, Baoyu hurried out, leaving Xue Pan staring at the door alone, speechless for a long time, and could only tell Second Sister You dejectedly that he had failed to accomplish anything.

Baoyu never took this matter to heart, and wandered inside and outside Rongguo Mansion every day.

In Jiamu's room that day, she jumped up and down to choose silks and satins of different colors and patterns to make Daiyu's dowry. She also said that this one is better for gowns and the other is better for skirts. , the colors and patterns of these fabrics are good, some are elegant, some are rich, some are fine, but they are not tacky, and they are good for making clothes and bedding."

Daiyu sat down, pursed her lips and smiled, and didn't care about everyone's jokes.

Official media Zheng has already come over in person and revealed to Jia Mu that the Wei family wants to marry him and Ji in that month, and has already prepared dowry gifts and other things. The big gift is either scheduled for December or the first month. Sister Feng is also very busy.

Jia Mu specially opened the ear room, and the room was full of silk and satin brought out. The brocade is gorgeous, just like the colorful clouds, which makes people dazzled.

Carefully selected 120 bolts of silk and satin for military use, one of which was not mixed with official and civilian use, neatly, Jia Mu said: "These are the top of the line, there are old materials, there are new materials, They are all good things that can't be bought with money, so I don't think they will be underestimated. As for the clothes of the four seasons, when winter comes, I will get some silk and satin that are not worse than this according to Yu'er's size and ask people to make them. , [-] sets per season, which is also very passable."

Sister Feng smiled and said: "It should be so, the ancestors just leave it to me, and I will take good care of it."

Mother Jia scolded Hou'er with a smile, and said: "You have already taken care of the second girl's affairs, who will leave this matter to you if you don't leave it to you? If there is a mistake, I will settle it with you carefully!"

Aunt Xue said: "Madam Feng is good at taking care of these things, others are not as good as her."

Sister Feng asked with a smile: "Auntie, I heard that the eldest brother is going to go into business again? When will we leave? Then we can ask Lian'er and Baoyu to practice for the eldest brother together."

Aunt Xue hurriedly said: "Where are you willing to ask him to go out to do business again? I have stopped his wish. I don't worry about him throwing away 800 taels of silver. I'm afraid that something will happen to him. Therefore, I don't go out recently. Clear up the business in all parts of the capital. The business in all parts of the capital is getting better and better, and there are countless things going back and forth to him every day."

Sister Feng smiled and said, "I vaguely heard that big brother is going to Ping'an Prefecture to look for Liu Xianglian, so I heard wrong?"

She heard it right, Xue Pan couldn't trust Baoyu, and couldn't bear the second sister You worrying about her younger sister every day, so she decided to go to Ping'an Prefecture by herself, but Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai knew about it and hurriedly stopped her.

Hearing about this, Baoyu was surprised and said, "Brother Xue hasn't let go of this matter yet?"

After hearing this, Jia's mother asked what was the matter. Baoyu thought about it again and again, and Fang entrusted Xue Panzhi, and then said: "I have already rejected Brother Xue's idea, and even persuaded Brother Xue once. Third sister You is pitiful, but Chen After all, the girl is innocent, so how can she spoil her marriage for selfish reasons?" Seeing Daiyu nod her head in admiration, Baoyu's spirit was shaken, and she felt more and more right.

Mother Jia frowned, and said to Aunt Xue: "Brother Pan should really be restrained. How can it be so easy to say? The Chen family and our family are old relatives. Although Miss Chen's family is a side branch, her father It's the husband of the Chen family's direct branch master. It really ruined the marriage between Liu Xianglian and Ms. Chen. How could they give up easily? I said that Pan'er's little wife who just came in is gentle and beautiful. How could she be so ignorant and let Pan'er Messing around with her mother and sister? My aunt must be careful when she goes back."

Aunt Xue said gratefully: "Thank you, old lady, for reminding me. I thought so too, so I restrained Pan'er from asking him to go to Ping'an Prefecture to do business. But the old lady also knew that no one could persuade Pan'er to come up with temper, so I had to take it easy. Persuade."

Unexpectedly, everyone took precautions against everything, but they still couldn't prevent it.

Xue Pan couldn't leave by herself, and Third Sister You thought about Liu Xianglian every day, so she really didn't do anything wrong, and she didn't say anything wrong, even Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were scolded out by her several times when they came to the door. One Liu Xianglian, Xue Pan had to think of another way, begged Jia Zhen to come forward, wrote a letter to the post station, and ordered it to be sent to Liu Xianglian.

Ping'an Prefecture is only half a month's journey from the capital to and from the capital. If you hurry up, the letter will be delivered faster, and it will be delivered to Liu Xianglian in less than ten days.

Although Liu Xianglian has already lived in the sixth rank, he still lives in the camp, and has not rented a house in the city. He has one sword and one sword. Someone wrote a letter, I was startled, I only communicated with the Chen family last month, who wrote again?

In doubt, the post station sent two letters, and said with a smile: "The first group and the second group sent letters to your lord, it happened to be an hour apart, so they sent them together."

Liu Xianglian received the letter and ordered someone to reward the post station before reading the letter carefully.

One is a letter written by Chen Yejun himself, and the other is a letter written by Jia Zhen. I don't know who wrote it for me. The content, could not help but get angry from the heart, and slapped it on the case.He was so angry that he used force with his hands, and actually opened a gap in the big case, almost falling apart.

Chen Yejun and Liu Xianglian are good friends, and there is no scruple in the letter, only explaining that the third sister You fell in love with him and went to the door to find her cousin, and also explained what the mother and daughter of You did, and finally attached With a laugh, he said: "Is it fun for a beautiful woman to promise her with her body?"

Liu Xianglian looked at Jia Zhen's letter again. In the letter, she didn't mention what Youshi's mother and daughter did, but only said that Liu Xianglian remembered that Liu Xianglian had vowed to marry a stunning woman as his wife. If he is willing, he will write back and say that he is willing to be a wife, concubine, slave or handmaid.
