Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 9
It's just very strange, if Yingchun had such a good upbringing since she was a child, how could she grow up to be an honest, incompetent, cowardly and fearful "two woods"?
Zhang Lingxuan smiled and said: "Our girl can't compare to her sister Yuanchun. She has a cowardly temperament. Her master doesn't care about everything. If I don't love her any more, how can I make it happen? The reason is that she is still young and has no intention No matter how hard I teach, I don’t want her to lose her innocence. But what kind of family are we, how can the girls muddle along? Now the female wife and the nuns who retired from the palace are all ready, and within a few years, they will be kept by the old lady A lady from everyone~"

Hearing this, Xue Hong understood.I'm afraid the reason is all on the eldest lady.

Jia Shezhi's original spouse is still alive, and unlike Mrs. Xing who came from a small family, she naturally wouldn't ignore Yingchun, and even gave Yingchun a very favorable treatment compared to concubines.Although this was different from what he knew, Xue Hong was still happy to see such a scene now.

Most of Yingchun's cowardice and incompetence come from her father's alienation and stepmother's laissez-faire. Although it sounds like the second girl of the Jia family was raised by the old lady's side, it's just that the old lady Jia's upbringing is nothing but delicious food and drink. Waiting, it's not as important as the civil servants' family, it depends on the practice of each girl after all.

But everyone is born different. Although Yingchun looks better than Tanchun, she is not as open-minded as Tanchun, and she doesn't pay attention to books. She seems a little ignorant, and it can be said that she is the most thoughtful.

On weekdays, she cares most about the distinction between mother and daughter, and she is not loved by her father or mother.Tanchun has nothing to do to please Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang is a "Buddha" on the surface and occasionally takes care of Tanchun.

But what kind of temperament is Mrs. Xing?You don't have Tanchun's eloquence, and you can't come up with any decent gifts for her—with her monthly bill of a few taels of silver, what can you save?Even if she saved some money, she was just a greedy servant, and Mrs. Xing didn't like it—so she had to behave with her tail between her legs, and she didn't dare to cause trouble for others, just because she was a concubine that no one cared about. If the woman bores everyone in the mansion, then there will be no place for her to stand.

Who would have thought that such a retreating attitude would make her already suspicious temperament become unbearably soft.

Before leaving the cabinet, she herself carefully followed the rules, and did not cause any trouble to others, but because of her incompetence and lack of strict control, how many troubles did she cause?How much face did you lose?Even she was tired and listened to many bad words?

After marrying someone, although Sun Shaozu was indeed a scumbag when he said that he met someone who was not kind, but her temperament was the culprit that ruined her life.

At this time, Xue Hong also felt pity.

Even though she was originally a beautiful family member, but because no one paid attention to her, she stepped into the end of tragic death step by step, wouldn't it be admirable?If in this life she could benefit from the care of the mistress and lead to a different ending, at least not to ruin Qingqing's life, how great would that be?
Xue Hong just stared at Yingchun in a daze, her thoughts fluttered, her heart ached and she pityed, until the laughter around her grew louder, and Yingchun also cast doubtful eyes because of his gaze. When he came back to his senses, he laughed at himself secretly, why did he feel sorry for Xiangxiang and Xiyu like Baoyu?

But it's no wonder, could it be that he, Xue Hong, is not a man anymore, and his heart is not moved when he sees a beautiful woman?How can it be.

Zhang Lingxuan's words amused everyone, and some housekeepers and mothers praised Zhang's kindness in treating concubine daughters leniently.But Jia's mother thinks that a mere concubine should just stay with good food and drink. When she becomes an adult, she will only spend a dowry. If she is so pretentious, she is just trying to gain fame. Why is it so?So I felt a little unhappy.

Helpless, Mother Jia's behavior has always been like this, as long as it is against her, she doesn't like it very much.

It's just that the Zhang family behind Zhang Lingxuan is really powerful, so I have to be more cautious, so after all these years, let the Zhang family take care of the house, although there are no major mistakes, but everything is not going well, but every time she says it is right. He Ruan, never shamed this eldest daughter-in-law.

Hey, she is the only person who is at the pinnacle of power in the Jia family, and she has to worry about her daughter-in-law's face all the time. Is it possible that she doesn't feel aggrieved?

Who do you think Zhang Lingxuan came from that made Jia's mother so afraid?Speaking of this, there are too many slots, Xue Hong was surprised when he first found out.

Her father's name is Zhang Ying. He was a bachelor of the Wenhua Palace and a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Now he is recuperating at home due to old age and illness.

But her elder brothers are very competitive. They all graduated from the imperial examination in an upright manner, and all of them have achieved great fame.Now her second elder brother, Zhang Tingyu, has entered the South Study Room and is a close minister of the emperor. Does anyone in the future know this?
When Xue Hong knew about the eldest wife's family background, she was puzzled. How could the daughter of the Zhang family, especially the younger sister of Zhang Tingyu, a famous minister through the ages, marry the worthless Jia She?It's so good that the cabbage made the pig arch!
As the saying goes, a high family marries a daughter, but a low family marries a woman.Although Jia's mansion looks like a duke's mansion, but it is a noble, how can there be such powerful ministers as the Zhang family?
In fact, this incident can be traced back to a temple fair many years ago. If Jia She had not seen Zhang Lingxuan's beautiful shadow from a distance on the upper floor of the temple fair, it had fallen in love with her at first sight. How could Zhang Lingxuan marry Jia Amnesty after trying every means to make a marriage agreement with Zhang Ying?
Don't you know how much Zhang Ying doted on her old girl, if it wasn't for the sake of Jia She's deep affection for the young girl, she would not have suffered if she married him, even if she would not have agreed to the marriage.

It's just that Zhang Lingxuan was pampered at home, and her husband's family didn't make things difficult after she married. Although she is naturally intelligent, intelligent, and considerate of everything, she is unavoidably self-willed in her actions and rarely considers others. Up to now, she has secretly made enemies Not a lot.

Besides, Jia Shen's temperament has always been restless, after marrying Lingxuan and coming back for a few years, he no longer just guards her as before.Now, apart from Ling Xuan, the main wife, there are three concubines, two concubines, and concubines in the courtyard, which makes Ling Xuan very cold.

This is better than the situation in the original book where the yard is full of little wives, but it is not a good match for Ling Xuan after all. Fortunately, Ling Xuan doesn't pay much attention to the relationship between men and women. But it's a bit incoherent.

Today, when Lingxuan carefully raised Yingchun, the first person who put face to face was Mrs. Wang.

She said in her heart that you are generous, who doesn't know that Yingyatou's mother died of dystocia when she was born, and you don't have a favored concubine in front of you to protect you, so naturally how you want to treat Yingyatou is up to you.

But if you come like this, do I have to make arrangements for Tan girl?If I pretend to be deaf and dumb like this, the people below will naturally say that I am not as generous as you, and even say that I treat the concubine harshly.

If I do all the work for the girl like you, will Aunt Zhao, who is not worrying at all, go to heaven?How can I suppress her in the future, and how can I swallow this breath in my heart?

Now that you think about arranging a female wife and a foster mother for Ying Yatou, do you want to send Cong'er, a concubine, to a school tomorrow?Do I have to one day in the future raise Huan'er, a milk baby who has not yet turned one year old, as if he was born?impossible!
Wang's heart is full of reluctance, but what day is today?She's not out of control yet.

I changed my mind and thought again, Tan Yatou is only four years old after the new year, who wouldn't be so obedient?If you don't want to ignore her, just find a reason to ask for it when you get to the front.

So Wang said kindly: "My heart is the same as that of the eldest wife. Don't look at Tan Yatou who is only four years old, but she is really a child with a cleverness. It's just that she is still young. When she is older, I will I won't treat her badly either."

While everyone was talking, someone from outside came to report: "The banquet is ready, the master outside invites the old lady and all the ladies."

Hearing the invitation, the previous conversation naturally stopped.

Headed by Jia Mu, a group of people went to the Dahua Hall in a mighty manner.

There is no need to remember much about opera and wine, it is just blindly lively and luxurious, but it makes Xue Hong feel a little suffocated.

He has a strong taste and has always liked spicy food.However, the dishes served to him by the waiters during the dinner were either greasy or sweet. Although they tasted good, they were always unpleasant to eat.As for the spiciness, there was none of it in his bowl. Who let this small body be an eight-year-old child?
As for the plays sung by the theater troupe... You let Xue Hong, a new human being in the 21st world, watch such an old-fashioned play, it's really a bit embarrassing for him.

And the protagonists of the same generation as him in the original book are all milk dolls now, and the classic plot is expected to not happen so early. It is really boring to just watch a table of people eating.

Xue Hong escaped with urine and sneaked away to play elsewhere.

I have been to Jia's mansion several times, but most of them are in Jiamu's main house or Mrs. Wang's courtyard.As for other places in the Rong Mansion, Xue Hong only had the remnants of the original owner in his mind, and he really hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

It was winter, so there were naturally no colorful back gardens to see, and there were many female relatives in the plum garden. He was already eight years old, and he was at an age where he should avoid suspicion, so it was naturally not suitable to go there.

After much deliberation, Xue Hong still chose to go to the front yard.Speaking of which, he hasn't looked at the main courtyard of Rongxi Hall yet.

Unexpectedly, the three masters and servants are not familiar with the route, and secondly, they are afraid of bumping into people along the way, so they are startled and evasive, and they are afraid that Xue Hong, who finally sneaked out, will be arrested again, and will die in front of the wine table. with.

Therefore, I turned around and turned around, and soon I didn't know where I was.

"Second Master, is this the way to the main courtyard?" Tang Jiu muttered as he walked.

Xue Hong rolled her eyes one by one: "You ask me? Then who should I ask?"

Zhuxi was happy: "Second Master just doesn't like the banquet. We can just find a place to stay. Once the time has passed, we can go back with anyone who wants to take us with us. Don't worry about it."
