Sister Qiao and Yingchun came in, and I smiled and said, "Sister is here, sit down." Ping'er, pour hot tea. ”

She sat down and asked, "How does the second sister-in-law feel?"

Everyone came to ask this sentence, counting the most indifferent and polite questions she asked. Baochai and Tanchun are good people, Daiyu and Baoyu really talked to me, she obviously came over to save face, not because she really wanted to come, and it was not because Jia Lian was his brother and sister-in-law.

She sat there quietly, giving the impression that her presence was weak. Maybe it was because his blue clothes were originally light in color, and the room was dark, thinking of the two groups of four people who came just now, all of them were bright and bright. This person's personality has softened, and he doesn't even look very conspicuous, even if he is seven points beautiful, and now he looks like he has broken in half, only three or four points.

I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered that I had watched two episodes of an ethical TV series that reflected domestic violence before, called: Don't talk to strangers. Later, my uncle told me not to see it. Of course, the man who beat his wife had psychological problems, but after watching those two episodes with me, my uncle actually said that I have itchy hands for such a wife, and I have a dead face all day long, as if someone owes her 800 yuan. I'm not a man and don't understand the psychology of men. But since the good-natured little uncles say so, it seems that the character that is too stuffy is not likable. In other words, perhaps this character of Yingchun further encourages and stimulates the abuser's desire for violence.

Of course, she doesn't have a bitter gourd face in the spring, but ...... It's so boring, she sits in front of me and twists her handkerchief and doesn't speak, and Sister Qiao doesn't dare to interject casually, it seems that she looks like "I'm not familiar with her". If she saw Tanchun and Baochai, she would definitely not have this reaction, but Tanchun is still her own aunt, Tanchun Baochai is a cousin and a cousin, and they are not as close to Yingchun as they are related.

When I came to see the Red Mansion, I also thought about how Yingchun's fate should be changed? Maybe she should marry a scholar with a gentle and peaceful temperament, and it is suitable for her to live a respectful life, but even in that kind of life, she has to face the seven things that open the door, there are also interpersonal relationships, and there are also relationships such as in-laws and uncles and nephews, will her in-laws treat her harshly? Will she bully her? But with the kind of power of Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing, they will never find such a family affair for her.

What can I do for her? Of course, I can find a way not to let her marry the one surnamed Sun, but I can guarantee that the next person who comes to ask for marriage will be able to treat her well?

I asked Sister Qiao to bring the embroidered basket and said to Yingchun: "I don't do much here, I have to bother you to point out Qiao'er's needle chisel female red, and I often come to sit and sit ...... when I have time" Just a few words to say, I don't know how to greet her anymore. Whatever I say, she just responds with a hmm, doesn't follow my topic, and doesn't take the initiative to start a topic.

"It's getting cold this day, but do you have big wool clothes? I'll think I'll make a few more." ”

"No need. She whispered, "I have enough clothes to wear, and besides, I don't go out, and I don't have to be frugal, so what kind of clothes do I make?" ”

Well, from the time she entered the house, this sentence was the longest.

I shook my head, there was a saying that was ugly but very true, the mud couldn't hold up the wall. Her personality is like this, and I just say now to cheer her up, it's impossible.

"Your brother and his new aunt are in the East House, you should go over and meet him, it can be regarded as a visit. ”

She stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll go." ”

Sister Qiao brought her embroidered basket, in which were some loose silk and embroidery thread.

"Where's the second aunt?"

"I'm going to the East House. I touched Sister Qiao's head: "When you grow up, don't be like your second aunt......"

She blinked: "The second aunt doesn't talk much, but her temperament is kind." ”

"It's one thing to be kind, to be bullied to the head and not know how to resist and run away, that's cowardice and incompetence. I can't save myself, just sit where I am and wait for someone to come to the rescue? Even if I want someone to save me, I have to call for help, and your second aunt won't even ...... for help."

Sister Qiao may not understand it, and asks, "Who bullied the second aunt? Why didn't she say anything?"

I smiled wryly: "Not yet, but in the future it will be difficult to say." If your second aunt goes out in the future and marries a man who loves to beat his wife, she will beat her three times a day, without food or clothing...... "I didn't say any more, maybe it was too early to say this to Sister Qiao, and it was not appropriate."

But I still have to think cranky, what if someone else marries Sun Shaozu? According to her temper, if Sun Shaozu dares to move a finger of her, she will definitely dare to use a knife to fight with the surname Sun, if she can't kill you during the day, she will poison you at night. Although this is my imagination, I think she will be able to do it.

The days of the north wind are getting colder and colder day by day, and I stay in the house without leaving the house, and I am very happy to take care of my "illness". The second sister in the east house is also raising, but people are raising fetuses. She often came to say goodbye, and there was face respect. However, she was very harmful, asked the imperial doctor, took tonics, Jia Lian did not treat the money as money, and the silver was spent like dripping water. Of course, all this money can't come out of the official, and the hundreds of taels of silver he saved himself are definitely not enough to eat like this, I asked Ping'er to take away my more conspicuous large pieces of jewelry and give them to Jia Lianhua, he was happy like a mouse who stole lamp oil, and ran to me to offer hospitality.

Fortunately, I said that I was sick, and he couldn't stay overnight, anyway, he couldn't live in the main house, and there were still east and west houses. Qiu Tong looked for ballast a few times at the beginning, but of course Jia Lian was protecting Second Sister You, Qiu Tong saw that he couldn't take advantage of anything, and he was much more comfortable these days.

However, this illness has dragged on for two or three months, and Miss Li Wenxiu often comes and goes, and I feel that my body is getting stronger and stronger. Of course, when I say strong, I don't mean the five big and three coarse ones, but the physique. Even if you don't wear a thick brocade cotton jacket with big wool clothes, you won't feel too cold when walking around the yard. Li Wenxiu also said that there is a set of boxing techniques that are rooted in the foundation, and if I can practice together, it will be better to practice both inside and outside. But I have to hide people's eyes and pretend to be sick, how can I go to the yard to do activities? I have to practice a few times in the house, first, I can't practice, and second, I can't let Sister Qiao see it. Children can't keep talking, if they go out and tell people that my mother is boxing in the house, then my diorama will be dismantled, and I can't pretend to be sick anymore. Later, she taught me a set of sitting Baduan Jin, which can be practiced in the house, what kind of meditation meditation with hands holding Kunlun and the like, you can practice it by sitting on the couch.

It was getting colder and colder, and it was snowing several times. I think time flies so fast, and it's time to come to the end of the year in a blink of an eye. There was not much pomp and circumstance during the Chinese New Year this year, anyway, I was sick, and it was not my turn to worry about the things I did. After the fifteenth day of the first day of the new year, they all went to the banquet in front of the Lantern Festival, Jia Lian took the second sister You with her, but later said that she was afraid that the fireworks would startle her fetal gas, so she came back in a hurry. Sister Qiao also let the nurse hold her for a while, and she came back by herself without much effort, saying that it was not fun, and she didn't like to eat or eat much, and said that she missed me, so she asked the nurse to take her back. Ping'er asked someone to make some dishes for me, and the two of us were spending the Lantern Festival by ourselves in the house, and Sister Qiao was even more lively as soon as she came back.

Ping'er coerced Sister Qiao's favorite sugar lotus root and let her play on the side. He poured me a glass of wine and whispered, "Although it is not a feast, this holiday wine is always to be drunk." I salute my grandmother. ”

I smiled, "Okay, let's have a drink." ”

The wine is relatively light and soft and slightly spicy to drink. I put down the cup and ate a few bites of food, and Ping'er also ate some with her, seeing that Sister Qiao didn't pay attention to what we were talking about, she lowered her voice and said, "People say that they see people's hearts for a long time." Grandma has been sick for so many days, and those people have also slackened. When I went to the kitchen and gave orders, I gave them two taels of silver to prepare. ”

I smiled slightly, "What do you care about." By the way," I also lowered my voice and said, "The first few times I was a thing, did it all go well?" "Grandma just rest assured, they don't have any suspicions." ”

With the money I gave to the East House, I took a lot of my jewelry, most of course, and deposited it in the bank, and exchanged it for real silver tickets. If I want to run away, it's not convenient to carry jewelry with me, or a silver ticket. When things are deposited in silver, Ping'er personally handles it, but the silver tickets and money folds are collected by me. came and went, and basically rolled up everything that could be done. Now there are rumors in the two mansions, saying that my illness is not cured, and that Second Sister You's baby must be a man, and when she is born here, and I am sick and weak, it is difficult to say whose world is in this house.

Of course I wouldn't have heard those words, but it was exactly what I wanted. Who loves and who wants it. Jia Lian, this color embryo, I will send it out with both hands, whether it is the East House or the West House, they love to rob, rob, coax, and cheat, which is no better. The most important thing for me is to accumulate strength, avoid the eyes of others, and keep my head down, and it is better for others to forget about me.

I discussed with Ping'er in a low voice, and when Second Sister You's child was born, we would find a doctor to go through the motions, only saying that my illness could not be cured in the north, and I could only move to a warm and humid place like the south to recuperate, so that I could hope to be cured. Then I applied to Jia's mother to leave the capital and go to Jinling.

The Jia family still has mansions and granges in Jinling, but the descendants and most of the people are here, and there are only empty houses and some thin fields, and there are some old people who look at the houses there.

Well, I remember that the mandarin duck said that her old son and mother were in the south to see the house and didn't come, and I really hope to abduct the mandarin duck together. First, it was for her good, and Mother Jia couldn't protect her for too long. Second, she is shrewd and capable, and I have a good helper for whatever she plans to do over there.

Baoyu reviewed more closely, there were still dozens of days before the spring festival started, and his hard-working Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu couldn't look past it, and persuaded him not to burn his body. Second Sister You's body is getting heavier and heavier, Jia Lian has been with her for the past few months, but he is not a good husband after all, Qiu Tong gradually trembled again, relying on Mrs. Xing, even I don't put it in her eyes.

Not long after the New Year, an official media woman came to the door to propose to Yingchun. This Aunt Zhu was really sent by the Sun family, and she was talking about Sun Shaozu, the Zhongshan wolf with the title of general.
