Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber

Xichun didn't know about this until after the imperial decree came down. Jiang's mother hugged Xichun and cried, and the two nuns seldom swear.

Xichun didn't have any sense of reality yet, so she went to see Jia Jing by herself.

Jia Jing fell ill again after talking with Princess Nan'an, and raised his hand when Xichun came in.

Xichun immediately stepped forward to hold Jia Jing's hand, "Father."

Jia Jing hummed, "Want to ask about the imperial decree?"

Xichun nodded, "I don't understand one thing."

"It's your father's uselessness that caused you to suffer so much." Jia Jing sighed, "But don't be afraid, in addition to this imperial decree, there is actually another imperial decree. After you have been married for three years, you can get divorced .”

Jia Jing slowly said: "When father is in better health, father will go to the palace to ask you to marry and live at home instead of going to Nan'an palace."

Xichun nodded, "Okay, then father needs to get better soon."

Jia Jing smiled, "Don't worry, father is here."

Yingchun and Lin Daiyu decided to stay here in Xichun. Xichun felt a little unreal these days, but the cautiousness of the people around gradually made Xichun feel panic.

Is she really ready to marry?Even if it's just a marriage in name?

Although Jia Jing said that he would reconcile after three years of marriage, what if the reconciliation cannot be separated?

Jia Jing noticed that Xichun's condition was not right, and immediately asked her to go to Youshi to relax.

You Shi received Jia Jing's order to beat up the people in the village before Xichun came, and when Xichun came, she even returned Third Sister You's miscellaneous books to her, and asked her to chat with Xichun more.

Third Sister You was so happy that she almost went to heaven, she held those books and did not let go, repeatedly promising that she would never let Xichun think of those things.

Third Sister You did what she said. Every morning when Xichun wakes up, her voice is the first thing she hears, and her voice is the last thing she hears before going to bed.

Third Sister You recommended her books to Xichun one by one. The writing is good and the content of the story is good. After listening to it for a few days, Xichun couldn't help finding fault.

"How could the scholar pick up the jewelry and handkerchiefs of the young lady just by walking in the woods? The young lady will always pay attention to these things, and the maids will also pay attention to them, and the scholar will know that it is the young lady as soon as he picks up the things. What if it belongs to a maid?"

Third Sister You said: "What if you are not careful? And look at this book, the plot here is that the lady finds that the jewelry is missing and the maids go back to look for it. It happens that the scholar is looking for the lady who lost the jewelry, and then the lady sighs the scholar. High character."

Xichun laughed, pointed to a certain place in the book and said, "You mean holding the hairpin while meeting someone and asking if it was the hairpin you dropped?"

"Can this be regarded as a noble character? If it is really a noble character, you will secretly watch who's clothes and jewelry match the jewelry you picked up, and then ask the other person, ask each other, who knows what he wants to do .”

As Xichun said that, she took off a hairpin from her head, and asked a woman to stand in front of the two of them, "Would you take this hairpin and ask her if it was you who lost it?"

Third Sister You puffed up her mouth and fell silent.

Xichun put the hairpin back on and let the old woman go down, "Let me see, I found it in the woods in the temple, so I should give it to the temple. Isn't there a place to store lost things in the temple?"

Xichun closed the book, "These books are basically the fantasies of sour scholars. It's nothing more than a scholar who meets a young lady by chance and falls in love with her. After a series of twists and turns, the scholar went to high school and formed a happy marriage with the young lady. happiness."

"These books certainly have a yearning for a better life, but more of them are unrealistic fantasies. If you fail to get a high school, you will be unappreciated. If others look down on you, you will look down on others. When a lady likes you, you will have a good vision. Knowing that you are poor A lady who is willing to bring a lot of money to marry her is a good lady, let's just have fun."

Third Sister You found another book, "What about this book, the scholar was framed and failed, and he shared hardships with his wife, and after that he was cleared of his grievances, he was ranked first in high school, and then a lady from a family fell in love with him and wanted to marry him." He refused to marry him, as long as the original spouse."

Xichun took the book and flipped through it, "Well, you are right, and then the young lady's father also lamented that the scholar was a good character when he saw this, and he insisted on marrying his daughter to her. In the end, the young lady is willing to be a concubine, and his wife and concubine are beautiful, and he has a wealth of ten thousand for nothing."

"If he's really that good, will he marry Miss in the end?" Xichun complained, "This Miss's father definitely has a grudge against her. With a large sum of money, I humbly let my daughter be a concubine."

Third Sister You was not convinced, so she took out another book, and Xichun started pointing to the content in it and started talking again. It was not until Third Sister You stopped holding the book that Xichun came back to her senses. She was in a bad mood these days, Be careful about saying too much.

Xichun was about to say something nice, when she saw Third Sister You handing all these books to the maid beside her, "Take these books and burn them, I will never read these books again, it's all a lie!"

Xichun hurriedly called the maid to stop, "What do you do with a good book and burn it? It's okay to read it for fun on weekdays."

Youshi and Youmu listened to their words and they couldn't laugh anymore, now they hurriedly said: "Don't worry about her, let her burn! Normally you can't explain her at all, and she is full of nonsense, today it can be regarded as someone saying I've passed her."

Third Sister You asked the maid to burn those books, and ran back to the yard to get some other books, "What about these books?"

Xichun flipped through it, and it was all about the joys and grievances of the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes.

Xichun asked her, "What do you think are good in these books?"

Third Sister You thought for a while and said, "You don't talk around the clock when you do things, you are clean and tidy, you dare to love and hate, you have loyalty in your heart, you can see all the prosperity and wonders of the world, and you are home all over the world."

Xichun nodded, "You're right, these are enviable places, but in this world, there has never been absolute right and wrong, black and white, everything has two sides."

"For example, the world is home, so why not be homeless?"

Third Sister You was stunned, "... There is no home in the world?"

Xichun said: "Yes, do you want to know what the real world is like?"

Third Sister You hesitated for a while but still nodded, Xichun asked someone to call the head of the guards on the Zhuangzi.

The guard came over and laughed when he knew Xichun's request, "What's so rare about this, my subordinates have been in the rivers and lakes these years, and they have a lot of experience."

This guard is also smart, seeing Third Sister You here, he knows what to say and what not to say.

So Sanjie You began to come into contact with a world completely different from the book.

"It is usually said that the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes draw their swords to help when they see injustice. This is true, and there are many, but many times it is at this time that they save someone and leave, and then the victim is even more persecuted. Sometimes they even save the wrong person. Some people even accidentally killed people because of impulsive strikes, and it was very chaotic.”

"What else is there to rob the rich and help the poor? It sounds good, but do you deserve to be stolen just because your family is rich? There are only a few profiteers who are rich and unkind. Those people in the world talk about helping the poor, but in the end the money went into their own pocket?"

"However, it is true that people in the Jianghu are poor. Some people can make a fortune, but most people don't eat their last meal. After all, there is no stable job to make money. Walking around is often done by nature and by the earth. bed."

"There are also those gangs that sound loyal, but in fact many gangs are local tyrants and will fight against the government. For example, the Cao Gang is like this. And if you join a gang, you will be a member of the gang for the rest of your life. You can’t say anything or do anything if the gang has done bad things, or you will betray your brother! No one will say anything if you kill you.”

"As for those love affairs, they are not as good as those in the scriptures. At least I have traveled the rivers and lakes for so many years, and most of the things I have seen are dewy marriages. It's just to relieve each other's boredom. The last thing is to find a place together. The bad thing about settling down for the elderly is that there is nothing wrong with being a stranger, marrying yourself or marrying another."

"Didn't there be some new books recently published in the workshop, where the ladies elope with the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and after going through many twists and turns, they become a generation of heroines themselves. I heard that they are still very popular?"

The guard patted his thigh, "These books are the most harmful!"

"It's not uncommon in Jianghu to see ladies elope with people from Jianghu, but it really doesn't end well! At the beginning, the two fell in love with each other, but after suffering the hardships of life, they began to resent each other, man. Those who complain about women don't know anything, they can't stand anything, women who complain about men have no ability, only fight and kill, those who finally returned home are good, some men are cruel, Sell ​​Miss..."

Seeing that the guard's words became more and more unpleasant, Xichun quickly interrupted, "Okay, let's stop here, you go down first."

After the guards left, Third Sister You's face was still pale, and she finally opened her mouth and cried, "...why is it all a lie!"

Xichun thought it was a bit funny, but she didn't show it, and comforted Third Sister You softly.

Third Sister You cried for a while before she stopped her tears, and asked Xichun with a sobbing voice, "Princess, what do you think the people who wrote these books thought?"

Xichun said, "I don't know."

Third Sister You sniffed, "I will never read these deceitful books again!"

Xichun tidied up those books, "Actually, we can also read them. Now we won't be deceived by the content of these books. It's okay to just read them for fun, and not all miscellaneous books are like this. The book is also very well written, and every time I read it carefully, I will have a new experience.”

Third Sister You became interested, "What book?"

Xichun counted for Third Sister You with her fingers, "Like biographies, travel notes, stories about famous operas, collections of celebrity articles, there are many, but I think the best ones are historical records, for example..."

Third Sister You looked at Xichun's mouth opening and closing, and finally stood up and said with a dry smile: "Then what, I still have a few miscellaneous books in the room, I'll go find them and burn them, lest I forget them later."

Seeing the back of Third Sister You running away, Xichun smiled helplessly, and Youshi and Youmu also laughed, "She likes to read books on weekdays, but she can't read books about sages like Shiji Analects. With these books, she can fall asleep without a stick of incense!"
