Rongguo Mansion.

Mrs. Wang heard the maid below and said, "Madam, the wife of the Xue family has returned from Jinling Mansion, and the wife of Yun Mansion has instructed that if you catch up with Ming'er, the wife of the Xue family will come to visit Mrs. and let her know the letter, so as not to be rude when she gets it."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her whole body was much more transparent, and her whole mood was much better.

Recently, Mrs. Wang has been in a very bad mood and has always been unable to lift her spirits.

Jia Tanchun is a girl she grew up watching.

Now Jia Tanchun is in danger, whether he is alive or dead, he still doesn't know.

How can you let Mrs. Wang, the mother-in-law, settle down and sleep well?

When people are old, they often think of the deceased.

Every time I meet an old person, I see one side and one side less.

Joys and sorrows are the norm of life.

A hundred years have passed, but it will pass by in the blink of an eye with a flick of the fingers.

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Back then, I was also a beautiful girl, and I used to have a deep friendship with the sisters in my family at home, laughing and laughing, but now the sisters next to me are separated and separated, even my children under my knees are uncommon, hey..."

Jia Yuanchun hadn't seen Mrs. Wang for many years.

Jia Tanchun was also plundered by pirates and disappeared in front of Mrs. Wang.

Although Jia Baoyu is still living in the Rongguo Mansion, she still makes Mrs. Wang feel a headache, and she is still like a child who has not yet grown up, and she always needs them to take care of and discipline her, and she is far from being a mature character.

Mrs. Wang once had a son, but now he is also dead.

The death of that son, Jia Zhu, was one of the main factors for Mrs. Wang to eat fasting and pray for Buddha.

Now Mrs. Wang's mentality has changed slightly, looking at the withered yellow leaves in this courtyard, and then staring at the ancient trees that are gradually drying up, and said, "This bleak scene in the court, I am afraid that our family will become more and more dilapidated if it goes on like this."

But all the people who live in this Rongguo Mansion can feel the twilight in the Rongguo Mansion, the twilight is gloomy, and there is no interest in it.

It is different from the Grand View Garden of the year.

In the former Grand View Garden, Lin Daiyu and others were still girls, and gathering here can still bring a different kind of spring color and scenery to this garden.

It's just that now these people have left, married and married, and no longer have the delicate mind of a girl as usual, and run to this garden to laugh and play.

Even Lin Daiyu and others still occasionally come to visit Mrs. Wang, but under the polish of the years, it is difficult to mention too many things.

At the third or fifth party, the topic is nothing more than how is the son of whose family, whether the people of whose family are promising, etc...

When I was a girl, the content of the conversation was mainly about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

At that time, there was also the Begonia Poetry Society gathered by Lin Daiyu and others in the Grand View Garden.

And now that they have become wives, the theme of the conversation has naturally changed, mostly focusing on the major events of the family and the country, and the development of children.

Whose children are talented and whose children are smart, but they always have to be compared in one place.

Those who win will naturally win face, feel face, full of happiness, and be proud of the spring breeze.

The person who did not win was naturally discouraged, embarrassed and lonely, and he couldn't wait to leave this place immediately and find a crack in the ground to get into.

Mrs. Wang recalled all kinds of things in the past, but sighed again and sighed with emotion: "This time is not forgiving!"

........

Following.

Aunt Xue came to visit Mrs. Wang in Rongguo Mansion.

The two sisters have been separated for many days, and now they meet again, or in this turbulent world, it is really not easy. bμν.

Gathering less and leaving more, this is the world of adults.

Even if it's a good friend, no matter how close the blood sister, with the passage of time,

They are all separated, and it is difficult for them to return to their hometowns like the swallows that have returned home.

Aunt Xue is in the habit of living in the capital.

She was originally a girl from the royal family in the capital, and later went to Jinling Mansion with Xue Pan's father.

Aunt Xue's girlhood and Mrs. Wang's girlhood were all in this capital.

Therefore, the relationship between Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang is intimate and they can talk to each other.

Between the two sisters, there is nothing to talk about.

Just like Jia Tanchun and Jia Yingchun in Rongguo Mansion.

There are always too many past and past experiences with each other.

As they gossiped about the various stories that happened in the capital back then, they couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sister, do you remember when you peeked at that unclean book in our small building?"

At this moment, Aunt Xue looked at Mrs. Wang with a smile and told Mrs. Wang what happened back then.

Back then, Mrs. Wang, like Lin Daiyu, secretly read books such as "The Story of the West Chamber".

This kind of book, in the eyes of the wives of serious families, is a big rebellion, and it is not allowed to be read.

Once the wives know that their daughters have peeked at these ***, they are afraid that they will inevitably be punished.

Therefore, Aunt Xue knew that Mrs. Wang had peeked at the ***.

Most of these books are stories of love and inseparability between some poor and talented people and their ladies.

Most of these books are just the fantasies of some poor literati and down-and-out talents.

Often the final ending, there are few happy endings, and most of them are mainly based on the strong opposition of the woman's parents and the forced martyrdom of both men and women.

But there is also a story about the negative reader who failed the Qinglou woman, or the story of abandoning his wife and children and begging for Ma Xianda. bμν.

This kind of past may be embarrassing for the girls, and they are shy to answer.

However, for Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, it was just a past, an experience of the past years.

When Mrs. Wang heard Aunt Xue's remarks, she couldn't help frowning, and said, "You still said that you didn't ask me to see it at the beginning? If you weren't behind this, how would I have done such a foolish thing?"

Aunt Xue pursed her lips and snickered: "I just said it in passing, but unexpectedly, you fell into your heart, and really went to find this book to read, but now you are blaming me, it is really my sister's."

Mrs. Wang looked at Aunt Xue, shook her head helplessly, and said, "Your sister, after so many years, you are still like this, if you are someone else, I am afraid that you still don't know this side."

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "You and I have a deep sisterly relationship, if it is an outsider, I will not let them see it. Besides, you and I have children, how can we be as casual and comfortable as when we were girls?"
