The Concubine of the Red Chamber

Ziye took Lingyun with her, taught her how to read and behave in her spare time, and after she found that Lingyun's memory was good, she sent her to the doctor of Shengfu to serve her.

When Jia Lan heard about Lingyun, she didn't interfere with Ziye's actions. This girl, who was nearly two years older than herself, was redeemed and wanted to repay her, which made her really feel that she was also a Good girl.

Doctor Shengfu looked at Ziye for a long time before accepting Lingyun and asked his old lady to teach her the principles of medicine.Lingyun studied very seriously, even though she was much older than ordinary apprentices, she did not slack off in the slightest, just as she promised Ziye, she would seize this opportunity for her to be a human being.

On the second day of September, Jia Lan personally put on a hijab for Ziye to send her off to get married. Although her dowry was not as much as that of Huier, it was 500 taels of silver in a box, as well as all kinds of dowry bought by the palace, only the best fabrics. Just put a few boxes, and Ziye's self-saved self over the years, and once again married her maid in a glorious manner, Jia Lan suddenly thought, maybe this is also a merit!

Lingyun was in the crowd, her whole body trembling with excitement. At this moment, she was convinced that she had found her way to be a human being. Seeing Zisu being carried on the sedan chair by the handsome and tall guards, Lingyun tightly clenched her fists , I swear this is the way I want to go.

When returning to the door three days later, Ziye walked up to Lingyun, reached out to touch her head, and saw the way her eyes were shining, as if she saw herself back then.

Among the 24 little opera singers, only Lingyun has embarked on the most difficult road. She has to study very late every day, and she also silently recites the properties of medicinal materials when she sleeps at night. It's a scar, but her spirit has always been strong.Looking at such Lingyun, Xiangsi couldn't help curling her lips. Now she admits that she has lived a good life in the county prince's mansion, but she can't bear to learn from the gentlemen in the mansion.Hongdou went to learn the piano from the piano master, but no one persuaded him, Xiangsi saw that no one cared about herself, so she slowly slacked off.Of course, there are girls like her, but most of them are girls who remember the hardships of the past and try to seize the opportunity to make progress.

On September [-]th, every family received good news that Jia Zhang's family had safely given birth to Jia She's only daughter. Seeing the excitement on Jia Lian's face who came to announce the good news, Jia Lan asked with a smile, "Lian'er just likes my sister so much!"

Jia Lian felt happy from the bottom of his heart. He was studying with brother Zhu'er, but he was not as good at learning as he was. My brother often said that he wasted his father's heart. The husband who paid for him was almost snatched away by brother Zhu'er. up.But he couldn’t help it. He tried very hard to memorize those words, but he forgot them when he went to sleep, so he had to do it all over again, but Brother Zhu’er was different, he learned very well... Mother comforted herself that Because brother Zhuer is old, he can learn quickly, but since the wife at home has spoken, the gentlemen have lagged behind brother Zhuer's progress, so he can't learn anymore. Brother Zhuer found out and hired another gentleman, He also arranged a few accompanying readings for him, which allowed him to find his confidence.

"Brother Zhu'er has a younger sister, but I can't see her again. Now that I have a younger sister, I naturally don't envy him." Jia Lian said excitedly, besides, his younger sister is from the same mother, better than that of Brother Zhu'er. , my brother also agreed!

Jia Lan reached out and handed him a small plate of prunes, and seeing that he had finished eating what he liked, she smiled and asked: "Our brother Lian will become a brother in the future, but we are not allowed to play truant. If my sister asks you a word in the future, you will not If you know it, it would be embarrassing."

"I don't play truant now. My brother spends half an hour every day testing me and teaching me. He has no leisure every day. If I don't study hard, I will live up to my brother's painstaking efforts?" Jia Lian drank a bowl of warm water. , laughed.He didn't always want to compare with brother Zhu'er in the past, but people in the house often said that he was not as good as brother Zhu'er, and his grandmother always said that he just held back his strength, but both mother and brother said he was What to do at any age, when he is the same age as Zhu Er's brother, he will definitely be no worse than him.

Because it was not long since Jia Min got married, Jia Shishi proposed to have a small gathering after three banquets. Jia Amnesty's complexion suddenly became ugly, and he shouted: "My son's only girl is still a prostitute. After three feasts, there will be no one, and then others will say that she is not favored, how wronged it is!"

"I'm not going to do it! Isn't your sister getting married soon? Let's do it small first, and wait for the hundred-day banquet of full moon wine, and there will be a lot of them for you to celebrate. How about a lively one?" Just as Jia Shishi was about to deliver the goods, Jia Daishan on the road.In fact, he can do it if he wants to, but the wife just yelled like this, Xie'er was indeed wrong, so I made a compromise.

"My aunt's marriage is a serious matter. Hu'er thinks that her family values ​​it, so my sister is naturally not wronged, but..." Jia Hu looked at Jia Yuanchun, who was in the nurse's arms for more than nine months, and couldn't get enough of it.

Jia Daishan looked at his grandson, shook his head with a wry smile, then backed down and said, "Since your father and son are happy, then let's do it!" Banqueting guests, now that the first wife's concubine did not have three banquets in a serious manner, it is indeed a topic of discussion.The prince was ill a while ago, and he is still not recovering. The emperor suppressed the prince less vigorously. He has already decreed that Princess Yuanchun should be married to Duke Qi's son. Duke Qi's position in the emperor's heart is no lower than his own.

On September [-]th, Jia Daishan personally named Jia Qiong's daughter, Jia Qiong, at the three banquets for washing, Jia Lan saw the beautiful Jia Yuanchun, and saw her being held in Jia Shishi's arms, and did not cry Instead, he happily let others look at her, not knowing what her fate would be in this life, but she was only a baby, and Jia Lan still hoped that she would live well.

"I heard that because of me, Sister Qiong almost failed to hold the three feasts, and I feel embarrassed." Jia Min, who will get married in half a month, frowned slightly, and talked to Jia Lan a little uneasy. .

Jia Lan tapped on her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "The petals can be clamped here, what are you worried about? Isn't it already done?"

"But because of this, my mother is not happy. She thinks that my elder brother is not good. I am about to go out and make troubles at home. How can I not worry?" Jia Min felt that the atmosphere between mother and elder brother these days Something was wrong, the mother felt that the elder brother was not filial, the elder brother felt that the mother valued the second elder brother, the second sister-in-law... Jia Min felt that she had misjudged the person, she found that the second sister-in-law was not a good person, but she couldn't say this. When the second sister-in-law asked Aunt Zhou to pick up Buddha beans on her knees, the expression on her face was really scary.

Jia Lan patted Jia Min's hand lightly, and asked with a smile, "Are you nervous? I'm getting married."

After hearing Jia Lan's words, Jia Min's face turned red all of a sudden, she turned left and right, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Sister, why do you say this?"

"What are the two sisters whispering again? Let us listen too?" Jia Ting suddenly came over with Jia Mo on his arm.

Jia Lan turned to look at the two older sisters. They were never familiar with each other. She had a good relationship with the second sister when she was a child, but later she got married. Every time she saw her, she was always weird. Jia Lan gradually stopped interacting with her. Seeing Jia Ting's half-smile and grasping eyes, Jia Lan raised her eyebrows and said, "I said that I added makeup to the fourth sister, and the two sisters also did it." Want to hear it?"

"Prince Princess, don't you think this is embarrassing for the sisters? Don't you know how much money we have? But we will do our best for the fourth sister's makeup ceremony. Then you talk to the fourth sister, Let's go first." Jia Ting paused, then finished speaking directly, and pulled Jia Mo away.

Seeing this, Jia Min sighed and said earnestly: "I will marry someone in the future, and I will be fine..." She turned pale for the rest of the sentence, and suddenly couldn't continue. She didn't like how her mother treated Aunt Chen and concubines The sisters are harsh, but I don't like Aunt Chen and Aunt Liu, who are stumbling and competing for favor with their mother... But let her tell Lin Lang's aunt and concubine children well, she finds that she can't do it, even if she just talks, I can't even say it.

"If he treats you well in the future, you will treat him well. It's just a heart-to-heart exchange! If... if you are not good to you, you should remember that you have to love yourself, and you can't wrong yourself because others despise yourself... life It's really hard, if we want to live well, we have to be kind to ourselves, so that we can live up to our experience in this world." Seeing Jia Min like this, Jia Lan stretched out his hand to hold her, Jia Min was standing still. The kind girl in front of me, Jia Lan really hopes that she can live happily, and also hopes that her children don't have to repay the favor with tears, and only earnestly asked: "If there is a day when he changes his heart, don't be sad, And don't force yourself to forgive him. His children, he takes care of himself, if you don't be harsh on them, if you arrange them according to the rules, you will be kind and generous."

"Sister!" Jia Min threw herself into Jia Lan's arms, choked up and said, "If I wasn't so bad when I was young, I would look down on others and care more about you, would we be good sisters?" It's impolite, but the sister-in-law gave her Sister Zisu to herself. Sister Zisu is so capable, but after more than half a year, she seemed to be a newborn, and she never fell ill again.The eldest brother will secretly send a letter to Lin Lang for himself, and will warn him to be good to himself.At that time, she didn't like the third sister who made her mother sad, and even ignored her, but it was her instructions to herself from the bottom of her heart.

Jia Lan froze, and became good sisters with Jia Min. She really never thought that the gap between aunt and concubine was insurmountable, and Jia Shishi was not a loving and tolerant aunt, but why did she feel a little tempted?But Jia Lan still didn't want to be so tender, and said bluntly, "No!"

Jia Min froze immediately, and Jia Lan smiled and said, "I'm living a good life now, so I naturally have the time to care about you. At that time, we were not equal, and we couldn't be good sisters. Either I was jealous and used you, or you hated me. However, Now it can."

Jia Min breathed a sigh of relief, wiped away the tears, and said with a smile, "Sister, you scared me to death."
