[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

Daiyu came out from Xichun's place and came to Jia Min's room, just in time to see Yue Nong serving her mother with a medicine bowl.Yun Dan held a tray with a plate of candied fruit on it and stood aside. Shang Daiyu inserted a candied fruit with a toothpick and handed it to Jia Min who had finished drinking the medicine.Holding a handkerchief in her hand, Yue Nong carefully wiped the sweat off Jia Min's forehead, then adjusted the height of the pillow behind her to make Jia Min sit more comfortably.After doing all this, Yue Nong retreated with the people, leaving the space for Jia Min and Daiyu, the mother and daughter.

Jia Min half sat on the bed leaning on the pillow, looked at Daiyu lovingly, and waved to her.When Daiyu approached, Jia Min pulled her to sit down by the bed, patted Daiyu's hand, and said softly: "You child, why did you come back again? I have Yue Nong and Yun Dan serving by my side. Worry about me, okay. Didn’t you say that you went to play with the sisters of your grandmother’s house, how are you doing, how are you getting along with them?”

Daiyu looked at the two sickly blushes on Jia Min's thin face, not wanting her to worry about her, she lowered her eyes, played with her fingers, and said, "We get along very well, my sisters treat me very close. Seeing Daiyu's appearance, Jia Min smiled lightly and shook his head, then sighed: "Silly girl, do you know that you don't know how to lie at all, every time you tell a lie, you just lower your head and refuse to be seen To your eyes. I am your mother, what is there to say in front of me?" Holding Daiyu's hand, he said in a coaxing tone: "Come on, tell mother, have they bullied you? Or ..."

"No, they didn't bully me, really not." Daiyu quickly denied.Sighing, Daiyu's face showed a bit of distress, she really didn't know what to say to Jia Min.Because of the health of the Lin family and the particularity of Lin Hai's position, Daiyu had no playmates of the same age except Lin Lang in her previous life, and she was still very lonely.

When she arrived at Jia's house, Daiyu was very happy to see so many sisters at once, and wanted to make friends with them.It's just that Daiyu was loved by her family since she was a child, and she grew up in the palm of her hand. Only people come to bow down to her, and she doesn't go down to others without her. Moreover, her little high-mindedness prevents her from being like Baoyu. Being so careful and considerate, she lowered her figure and bowed down to treat others. She thought that all she had to do was have a sincere heart.But getting along with people is not that simple, so Daiyu "hit a wall" with Yingchun and the others.But to say that Yingchun and the others treated her badly and were not close to her, no, it was just a feeling that couldn't be described in words, and couldn't explain why.

After hesitating for a while, Daiyu told Jia Min how she felt when she got along with several cousins: "I, I don't know how to say it. If I can't say it, we get along very well. It’s fun to talk and laugh; but to say it’s good, I feel that there is a gap between them, and it seems that there is a little difference, whether it is the second sister Yingchun, the third sister Tanchun, the fourth sister Xichun and the sixth sister Luochun. You can't make friends, you can't be intimate. If you really want to talk about it, it's more comfortable to get along with the second brother."

Although Jia Min has not been back to her natal home for a long time, and most of them are sick in bed, and have little contact with Yingchun and the others, but as an experienced adult, she can still see through Yingchun and the others who are immature girls locked in a deep boudoir. And she was very clear about her own children's problems, so when she heard what Daiyu said, she understood the reason when she turned her head around.It's just that there are some things that she can't say to Daiyu, and if she said it, Daiyu might not understand, she thought for a while, and said: "There is a gap between you, it must be because you don't understand each other, and everyone says, 'A long time sees people's hearts', and so on." After a long time, we got acquainted with each other, and we became close. However, everything is about a 'fate', and the relationship between people is the same. Even if we don't make friends at the end, we are still relatives."

Daiyu nodded, and said slowly: "I understand, some things can't be forced. The second sister Yingchun is so stupid, I don't like her temperament very much. The third sister Tanchun and I get along quite well, but I don't know. Why, the third sister's attitude towards me is so far away and close, which makes me unpredictable. Xichun's fourth sister is still young and looks like a child, but Luochun's sixth sister is obviously younger than the fourth sister, but her words and actions give people a kind of old-fashioned Feeling. And mother, I once asked Yingchun's second sister about the fifth sister, but they were vague about it, only saying that she was a concubine sister of Xichun, and the details were not clear. But I asked other people , They seem to keep a secret about it, as if there is something hard to say about it."

Daiyu looked curiously, looked at Jia Min with big eyes flickering, and said wonderingly: "But what can we not say? Left and right are just the distinction between concubine and concubine, and it doesn't mean that it is the 'concubine' of sister Xichun. It seems that there is no problem with the younger sister. Well, since there is something taboo, does it mean that there is something wrong with the fifth younger sister's background? Ah, could it be an 'outsider girl'..." Daiyu guessed with a face of sudden understanding.

Jia Min hurriedly interrupted Daiyu, denying: "What's the 'outsider girl', what nonsense. Where did you hear this nonsense, and here is a random guess. It's nothing, don't Speculation here."

In fact, although Daiyu's guess is not right, it is not far away.The fifth girl's background was even worse than that of the outer room.Back then, Jia Jing was cultivating Taoism in Xuanzhen Temple. In order to achieve success in cultivation, he bought many young girls as "cauldrons".It is precisely because Jia Jing's practice of Taoism at this time has not yet cut off the road of human relations, so Jia Jing's wife Jia Jing can conceive Xichun when she returns home to worship her ancestors during the New Year.However, because Mrs. Jia Jing is an elderly woman, and her husband and son are not at ease, her pregnancy is extremely unstable, and there have been signs of miscarriage several times.

When Jia Jing's wife invited the doctor to come to the house for treatment, she also invited Ma Daopo who is good at playing ghosts and demons, but she didn't know what Ma Daopo said about sisters restraining each other.At that time, apart from the pregnant Jia Jingfu, there was only Mrs. Xing in the two mansions.At first, Jia Jing's wife also thought that the child in Mrs. Xing's womb had restrained her own child, so she wanted to let Ma Daopo set up a magic circle to crack it. "If you are a mother, you are strong." How could Madam Xing allow her child to bear the title of Sister Xingke before she was born? She had heard all about what Jia Jing did in Xuanzhen Temple, so she said that she and Jia Jing's wife didn't have any grievances, so how could this happen, on the contrary, the possibility of problems in Xuanzhen Temple is very high.

Regarding this, Jia Jing's wife was skeptical, but just to be on the safe side, she sent someone to Xuanzhen to check it out. It turned out that a 13-year-old sunflower water had just arrived in the temple and was conceived by a girl who was used as a "cauldron" tonic. pregnant.Later, the girl was taken back to the mansion, and Jia Jing's wife also gave birth on the third day after giving birth. Because of her young age and narrow pelvis, it took two full days and two nights to give birth to a wrinkled girl. baby girl.Because the child has been held in the mother's stomach for too long, when he was born, he was covered in bruises, and his crying was low and inaudible. The ranking is five.

Because the child's birth mother was too young, she didn't receive good care in the early stage of pregnancy, she was in a bad mood, and she made up too much in the later stage, and it was difficult to give birth, so she struggled to give birth to the child and left.The fifth girl was originally known as "Xing Ke" Xi Chun, and her biological mother was of such a background, and she didn't survive. Although after birth, she was matched with a nanny, a girl and a woman according to the rules of the house. But who knows, this fifth girl is not popular, so she didn't serve her very wholeheartedly. In addition, she had many disasters from the mother's womb and even her birth, so she was congenitally deficient, so she only lived for less than six months.Because Luochun had already been born during this period, her ranking was the sixth girl, and there was no change in the ranking after the fifth girl's death.

Because the origin of the fifth girl is somewhat disgraceful, after her death, although the two governments did not expressly prohibit discussing the matter, once someone mentions it, they will be severely punished if they are heard by the higher-ups. The topic has become something that cannot be mentioned in the mansion.Regarding the birth and death of the five girls, Yingchun, the oldest among them, was only a toddler at that time, so she didn't remember much, so all they knew was the "official" version after deletion.

But Luochun knew the truth, Mrs. Xing told her.Mrs. Xing mentioned this matter when she complained about Mrs. Wang's "evil deeds" to Luochun.Although there is no clear proof that Mrs. Wang did it, Mrs. Xing has confirmed it, but she also knows that she has no evidence. Just because Ma Daopo is Baoyu's "godmother" is not enough to prove Mrs. Wang, and her charges cannot be determined , but Mrs. Xing felt that there was no possibility for anyone else to do such a thing except Mrs. Wang.

In fact, before this incident happened, the relationship between Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang was not very tense. Although Mrs. Xing was a little annoyed that Mrs. Wang was in charge of the housekeeper, but because of the jokes she made before and Mrs. Wang treated her respectfully , and when Mrs. Wang was the housekeeper, she was treated according to the rules of the eldest wife in the mansion, so the two of them got along pretty well.

After Mrs. Xing became pregnant, Jia Lian, who had a decent mother-child relationship at first, became estranged from her a lot for no reason, and she also noticed that he often stared at her belly with complicated eyes.Although Mrs. Xing neglected Jia Lian because of her pregnancy, Mrs. Xing guessed that someone said something in Jia Lian's ear; after that, the child "Xing Ke" in her belly appeared. Jia Jing's wife said that there was a child in her stomach, and so on, no matter how dull Mrs. Xing was, she knew that something was wrong and someone was targeting her.But this candidate, counting from Jia Mu to the next, counting and counting, only Mrs. Wang is the most suspicious.After confirming the object of suspicion, Madam Xing found that although there was no evidence that Madam Wang did it, all signs proved that there was no one else besides Madam Wang.After all, it's no good for anyone else to do it.With this knot in her heart, Mrs. Xing could no longer be a friendly sister-in-law with Mrs. Wang.

As a married woman, Jia Min is considered an outsider, and she knows why.At the beginning, when she took her children back to her natal home, when she met the sisters in Yingchun, she didn't see the fifth girl. She once asked Jia Mu about this matter.Of course, Mother Jia didn't hide anything from Jia Min, so she explained the whole story to her in detail.But it was impossible for Jia Min to tell Daiyu the truth, so she made up another story for Daiyu: "Don't make wild guesses. When sister Xichun's mother, sister-in-law Jing, was pregnant with her, her concubine was also found to be pregnant. That concubine was not safe, please God curse sister-in-law Jing's dead body Two lives'. As a result, sister-in-law Jing's fetal image was unstable. Later, Taoist woman was invited to come and see, and she was found to be playing ghosts, so sister-in-law Jing locked her up until she gave birth. It turned out that sister-in-law Jing was the victim, and in the end she not only lost her own life, but also made sister-in-law Jing very angry. Because they gave birth next to each other, and sister-in-law Jing was still in confinement at that time. The old woman gave birth, her body was severely damaged, and she suffered from qi during the confinement period. She was not well nourished and fell ill, so that she went there shortly after Xichun was one year old. The reason why the old lady forbids these old things I mentioned it below because I don't want your fourth sister to hear the sadness. In your fourth sister's heart, she has always blamed her mother's death on her birth. "

Jia Min's words were both true and false, and she coaxed Daiyu.Jia Min stretched out her hand to support the pillow behind her waist, and said: "As for Luochun, she matured earlier than Xichun, because the elder sister-in-law didn't seem to be awake in her early years, and her maternal ancestral family didn't seem to worry about it." Of course, there is also the reason of Mrs. Xing's situation in Jia's mansion, but it involves Jia's mother and Jia Amnesty's attitude towards Mrs. Xing. It is hard for Jia Min to say, so I didn't mention it.

Daiyu recalled the origin of Luochun's name, and said with a smile: "I used to think that Liumeimei's name was not pleasant, because the word 'Luo' sounds very decadent. , such as: Wan, Song and other words are good, I think it is better than the word "Luo". Who knows that her name is derived from "Hualuochun is still here", but it is a bit like Liu Yuxiqiu's "Since ancient times" Autumn is sad and lonely. I say that autumn is better than spring. When the sky is clear and the cranes line up on the clouds, the poetry will be drawn to the blue sky.' The openness of the feeling. Didn’t it mean that my uncle’s knowledge is average, I think there are still good ones. "

Jia Min smiled and said nothing.The name Luochun has nothing to do with Jia Amnesty, nor does it have anything to do with Jia's mother, it was given by Mrs. Xing.If Daiyu hadn't mentioned it today, she wouldn't have known there was such an allusion.After Jia Min heard Luochun's name, she also felt depressed. It's not good. She once talked about it with Jia's mother.In the end, Jia Mu said, "It's just a name, how can there be so many particulars, let alone a girl, it doesn't matter what her name is." She was blocked back.From Jia's mother's words, Jia Min got a glimpse of Jia's mother's subtle attitude towards Luochun. What happened in this issue and why, Jia Min didn't want to ask in depth, so she put this matter aside.

In fact, to a certain extent, what Jia Mu said is not unreasonable, just like her, although her name is "Min", but at home, her father and mother usually call her "Si Yatou" and seldom call her Her name, the servants called her "Four Girls".After she got married, people called her "Madame" or "Mrs.", and her name was rarely used.So what is the girl's name, few people will care.So whether her name is impassioned, or open-minded, or decadent and negative, or has some deep meaning... what does it matter?What's more, what the Jia family lacks now is not a girl. No matter how smart and capable that girl is, in the end, she will still be from someone else's family.
