Chapter 67: The Red Chamber (67)
Red Mansion(67)
"But when I inquired outside, who had ever seen the concubine girl at home who did not serve her grandmother, but accompanied the girl. This is because the girl doesn't take my sister-in-law seriously, or is she willing to be cheap and want to mix with the unseemly. Why, I still pointed to Xiangling's girl, as if you can't serve your brother, you can't serve you. Who's not a taboo yet. What are you talking about, ahh The idea of silver at home, my Xia family can sweep some seams on the ground. The family licked their faces and begged for marriage, this time I am an innocent girl who has been abused by you, and it is neither horizontal nor vertical nor picking up my fault. It's not like you tricked me into going to your house first, and seeing that I don't have a brother, you want to torture me. When I can't stand it anymore, I'll bring my family's money again, so that you can make up for your daughter. Other people's daughters are married to supplement their mother's family, but your family is good, and you have to paste the silver of Jinshan Yinhai to marry the girl. dragging down the family like this, if I had been ashamed to die. Where is there still a face in this house. Xia Jingui only pointed at the sky and scolded outside.
Aunt Xue wanted to fight back, but she felt that it was a shame to be a mother-in-law who couldn't control her daughter-in-law. Besides, it's a shame for the elders to be bumped into by the juniors, and it's a shame to put them there.
Xiangling knelt in front of Xue Baochai, crying uncontrollably. "I'm the one who bothered the girl. ”
Where can Xue Baochai take care of her, Xia Jingui's scolding, sentence by sentence, fell on her heart, like a whip, which made people suffer a lot.
Aunt Xue couldn't talk to her daughter-in-law like this, so she scolded Xue Pan through the window: "...... He who has lost his conscience gave birth to you and raised you so big, and your heart for a lifetime. Now that I have married your daughter-in-law and become a family, I dare not expect you to be filial. But you can watch your mother call your daughter-in-law to death. ”
Xue Pan was sad to hear it, he was a bit of a bastard to others. To his mother and sister, he is so good.
He came out of the house in a daze, and said, "Mother, go back to your room and rest." I drank too much last night, and I really have a headache, and I didn't hear it just now. Son, this is a lesson to the mother-in-law, you just don't get angry. ”
Aunt Xue saw her son laughing and admitting her mistake, and she was angry for two points. Said: "When a man's family becomes a family, he should stand up." ”
Xue Pan smiled and nodded, "That's it, mother, don't worry, I'll clean her up when I go back in a while." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard Xia Jingui's 'whoop', "I knew that I shouldn't do this family matter." This family is poisonous, this is to kill me, so as to seek my Xia family's property. Strange people say that you must not marry the son of a widow's family. Now I know the pain of this. Where is there a mother-in-law who does not point to her son and daughter-in-law to live a good life, but pries her son to beat her daughter-in-law. You show the world ......"
"I said stop howling. Xue Pan saw that his wife was almost angry, so he hurriedly stopped.
"Okay, you turtle king, you won't recognize anyone when you put on your pants this time. Xia Jingui crossed his hands on his waist and took a sip of Xue Pan. Then he rubbed his chest and shouted in pain, "This family is intent on killing me." ”
Xue Pan couldn't contradict his mother, and he was a little afraid of Xia Jingui. Left is not right, it just so happened that Xiangling heard Xia Jingui shouting that his chest hurt, so he ran out. Xue Pan suddenly found an outlet to vent, and kicked Xiangling to the ground, "Where to go to the corpse." I don't know what to do to serve your grandmother and persuade your wife to do what you want. ”
Xiangling immediately covered her stomach and bent down on the ground unable to move.
Xia Jingui glanced at it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Aunt Xue saw that her son was so unproductive, so she scolded: "You...... You useless thing, what are you going to do with her. Beat me and your sister to death together, and you are satisfied. ”
It took a while for the noise to stop. At night, the mother and daughter sat opposite each other, and they couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"I don't know that this girl from the Xia family has such a character. Aunt Xue patted Xue Baochai's hand and said, "I was wronged." ”
"Mom, I'm going to say a shameless word today. Xue Baochai hung his head and said, "Mom, you can consider it yourself." ”
"Let's two of you, there's nothing you can't say. Aunt Xue knew that this girl had more ideas and abilities than her son, and she had always believed in her daughter's words.
"Mom is better than Ming'er to beg my aunt, and ask my aunt to help me tell me a proper family business. Xue Baochai said in a low voice.
"I've told your aunt about this, and your marriage to Baoyu ......" Aunt Xue took over as soon as she was in a hurry.
"There can be three media and six certificates. Xue Baochai raised his head, looked at Aunt Xue and asked.
Aunt Xue was speechless for a while, and said: "Then you don't need to ask your aunt to find someone for you, let's entrust someone else......" Aunt Xue felt that she was now asking herself to regret it, and she couldn't open her mouth. After all, I'm still living in someone else's house.
"Don't I know that? Mom just went to find her aunt. I've got my own plans. After Xue Baochai finished speaking, he got up and went back to the house.
Aunt Xue tossed and turned for half a night before she somewhat understood what her daughter meant. This is not really to say kiss, but to force his sister to make a final decision in disguise. If she waits until now, she still refuses to give a positive answer, it is better to follow the example of Yingchun's relatives. Even if it is a continuation of the string, it is not without a good life.
Mrs. Wang was stunned when she heard Aunt Xue's intention. Isn't this something that has been said to be good, why don't you say a word, and then regret it.
Aunt Xue said: "I'm not afraid of my sister's jokes, my daughter-in-law is not a good one, the baby girl is at home, I don't know how to attract her eyes, the nose is not the nose, the face is not the face." Instead of asking her to be wronged at home, it is better to send her out of the house early, and it is also my mother's love for her. ”
Mrs. Wang was really stumped for a while. If the Xue family is willing to lower their standards, a family affair like Yingchun can still be done. But Baoyu's side, if she waits for Niangniang to give birth to a prince and then makes plans, she may not really be able to meet Kexin. In addition, the conditions at home are getting worse and worse. The palace sent people to ask for silver, and the lord was in office, and he sent people back every month. said that it was to ask the old lady for peace, but in fact, it was still to take silver. Anyway, the official didn't see the money taken home, but he posted it in I don't know how much.
Even if Niangniang gives birth to a prince, there will only be more silver in this palace. I won't be able to make a profit for a while. This Xue family is here, so I can still make up for my own one.
So he smiled and said, "How did you say this?" The matter of Baoyu and Bao Yatou, our sisters have decided. Now, it's just that I haven't had filial piety, so it's hard to mention. ”
Aunt Xue slandered in her heart: Didn't the marriage of Yingchun also exchange Geng posts first.
She didn't say this, so she just said: "This matter is also wishful thinking on the part of our sisters." Where to do it. It was also me who delayed the treasure girl, and I was just reluctant. Now that there is such a loser in the family, I can't let the baby girl be wronged at home. ”
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Since you asked me to be this matchmaker, then you have to listen to me in this matter." Although my Baoyu is not angry, it is fortunate that he is kind to the girl's family. You grew up again, the two sisters and brothers are childhood sweethearts, they know their roots, and they are not better than others. I'll report to the old lady today, and we'll settle the matter. ”
Aunt Xue had a smile on her face. I relied more and more on my daughter.
Jia Mu heard Mrs. Wang mention this matter again, but this time she did not refute it. She already faintly felt that the lady in the palace was only afraid that something would happen, and it was hard to say whether the people in the family would be affected because of this. The girl of the Xue family can judge the situation, and when she obeys, she will hand Baoyu into her hands, not to mention anything else, at least she will not suffer any big grievances.
Because the timing was really wrong, and I was afraid that Baoyu would know the truth and make trouble. The exchange of posts between the two was extremely low-key. But the family affair has finally been formalized.
After Lin Yutong knew the news, he didn't hide it from Daiyu. Lin Daiyu is a long-term person, and if she doesn't say or ask, it doesn't mean that she doesn't remember it at all.
When she fell asleep at night, Lin Daiyu was in a daze, as if she saw another self lying in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion of the Grand View Garden, and the sound of festive suona gongs and drums faintly came. Listening to the girl say that it was Baoyu who married Miss Bao, I saw the other self throw the handkerchief into the brazier, and then went like that.
She knew it was herself. She finally understood why her sister was resolutely against her and Baoyu from the beginning, and it turned out that this was her end.
I woke up suddenly, feeling a chill from the inside out. She sat up and shouted for the snow geese to come in.
"Girl, what's wrong?" Xue Yan came in and first twisted a handkerchief to wipe Lin Daiyu's face, "But I was stunned." ”
"Nothing. Lin Daiyu stabilized her heart and said, "You go and find out the square handkerchief and burn it." ”
Snow Goose was stunned for a moment before responding. threw the handkerchief sent by Bao Er Ye Tuo Qingwen into the brazier in front of Lin Daiyu. She knew that the girl was a resolute person, and since it was burned, it would really be a hundred.
After Lin Yutong found out, he was completely relieved. After so many years of chattering, now my heart has been put into practice.
One day, Lin Ruhai came back from the palace and instructed Lin Yutong: "You ask someone to prepare sacrifices, and you need to use them for your father in two days." ”
"Good. Lin Yutong asked after he responded: "Is it wrong with who?" This person's relatives are estranged from relatives, and the specifications of this sacrifice must be asked clearly.
Wang Ziteng died violently on the way back to Beijing. Lin Ruhai took a sip of tea and said.
Lin Yutong was shocked in his heart, Wang Ziteng actually died. Then Jia Yuanchun's death is just around the corner. Lin Yutong responded with an unmoved expression on his face, but his heart turned over the river and the sea.
I have never heard of the prince Teng's envoy to the Jingying Festival, in fact, this festival envoy is concurrently served by Wen Tianfang. She thought that Wang Ziteng's fate would change because of this, but it seemed that she still thought simply.
Wang Ziteng is the only person in the family of Jia Shi and Wang Xue Si who can be regarded as capable. Now it's gone so suddenly. also cast a haze on the happy event that Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai had just set.
Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue immediately panicked when they learned of their brother's death. My mother's family relies on such an elder brother to support it. What can I do in the future.
In addition to sadness, Wang Xifeng is more of a panic and urgency. She smelled a looming crisis from within.
Sure enough, Wang Ziteng's funeral had just passed, and everyone had not yet recovered. Someone suddenly came to the palace, bringing news that made everyone in the Jia family suddenly feel that the sky had fallen.
It turned out to be Jia Yuanchun, the mother of the palace!
