The Red Chamber is not a dream

[Seventh Chapter] A poor girl escapes the sea of ​​misery every time. The young man visits his relatives with his mother

Now let's talk about Yu Village, since the last time the Zhen family was raised, it has recovered by itself and granted Ying Tianfu.That day, a lawsuit came to the case in detail. It was a kidnapper who abducted another family's daughter and sold it to two families. It was found out, and now she is tied there. The head of the two families sent a servant to report to the officials. Know.At that time, Yucun sent the boy to come, and the person in front of him said: "My family's owner is surnamed Xue. He had already chosen a date to go to Beijing. Two days ago, he wanted to buy someone to order him, so he met this girl by chance. I bought it and went to Beijing. Who knew that this girl was not the child of the kidnapper. He first sold it to Mr. Feng’s family, and then secretly sold it to my family, intending to steal the money of the two families, and then fled to other provinces. Who knows, she never escaped. The two families took it, and now come to ask the master to show me." The other said: "My son's surname is Feng, and this kidnapper has already obtained my family's silver. My young master originally said that the third day is a good day, and then he will pick it up again." Getting started. The kidnapper was secretly sold to the Xue family again. We found out, went to the seller, and found out that the kidnapper was so hateful, so he beat him first. He was the one who abducted it, please tell the master clearly."

When Yucun heard this, he said angrily: "How can there be such a fart! You kidnapped the daughter of a good family and sold it to two families. You really deserve to be beaten to death!" Bring the girl here, and ask his wife where his home is and how he was kidnapped.When the girl came, Mrs. Yucun looked at him and was taken aback. She hurriedly asked Yucun to come over and said to him, "Who do you think this girl is? It was Yinglian from my old master's house. Miss!" Yucun said indifferently: "Why is it that he came again! There is no place to look for when you have broken through the iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get here. Can you spot it?" Madam said: "Others just misunderstood, how could I know?" Misunderstood! It is exactly the same as his mother when he was young. Besides, there is a little rouge mark in his eyebrows from the womb, so it is easy to recognize." Mrs. Yucunwen said this, knowing that she must be [-]% sure, so she asked Mrs. Ying to comfort Ying Lian, and sent someone to Zhen's house to pick up Lady Zhen.

It turned out that this lady was the maidservant next to Mrs. Zhen's family, and she was named Jiao Xing.Yucun had a relationship with him that day, and when Fang came to work, he met him again on the street, so he found his home. Knowing that Zhen's family had fallen, and that Shi Yin and his daughter had disappeared, he sighed sadly and sent someone to send him off again. With many gifts, I begged this Jiao Xing to go home as a concubine, and a few days ago she helped her to become the wife of the wife.Now that Mrs. Zhen is invited over, the mother and daughter recognize each other, weeping in each other's arms, even Yucun looks very miserable, knowing the origin of this girl, she is the daughter of his benefactor back then, and she intends to show that she is impartial and straightforward. The kidnapper was beaten fifty times, and was shackled on the street for three days. He was then thrown into a prison to be interrogated about his past abduction and trafficking of other people's children. Died in prison, this is a later story.

Now that everything is clear, Yucun asked Mrs. Zhen to bring Yinglian back home, and Jiao Xing was the master wife, so she married Mr. Feng Yuan as the head wife.Feng Yuan's parents died early since he was young, and he has no brothers. He is the only one who lives with a small family. When he grows up to seventeen or eighteen years old, he loves masculinity and hates women the most.This is also an injustice from a previous life, but he happened to meet this kidnapper selling Yinglian, and he immediately fell in love with him, and vowed that he would never marry another man again, and would never marry a second one. It is even more unexpected joy that Mrs. Futai personally acted as a matchmaker.The son of the Xue family said that the two were destined for each other, so he not only refused to snatch it from him, but gave him Yinglian's worth and silver as a congratulatory gift, and took his widowed mother and sister to the capital.

In addition, Mr. Xue is also from Jinling. He was originally a scholarly family with millions of riches.This Mr. Xue's scientific name is Xue Die, and he has a handsome character and a very intelligent temperament. He just loves martial arts.He lost his father when he was young, and his widowed mother, Mrs. Wang, pityed that he was an orphan, so she doted on him and left him alone.There is also a girl two years younger than him in the family, whose baby name is Baochai. , Seeing that his widowed mother and elder brother were working very hard, he paid attention to needlework and family planning, so as to share the worries and relieve labor for his mother and elder brother.

Recently, because of the advocacy of poetry and etiquette, and the search for talent, in addition to hiring concubines and concubines, all the daughters of famous officials and officials are all named Dabu, so that they can be selected as princesses and princesses to attend school, and serve as a job of praise for talents.His mother then discussed with Xue Die: "Your sister is growing up now, why don't you order him to go to the capital to wait for the election, so as to glorify the lintel. If you work hard, our family will be like a flower blooming in the future, wouldn't it be good?" ?” Xue Die knew the reason after hearing this.His mother has an older sister who is a direct relative, she is the second wife of Rongguo Mansion, the two of them have been pretty good since they were young, but now they seem to overwhelm his family, Wang's heart is not angry, because of this remark.Just unwilling to agree, he said: "Mother's words are not good. That good family depends on their daughter to earn a future? We have our own property, why should we suffer from our sister? Even if we have this talent, we don't have to suffer. Go to Beijing It's all right to visit relatives, and don't talk about it." Wang knew that this son had an idea, and he didn't argue with him, but he never gave up this idea, saying: "I don't want to teach your sister to be elected, you should go I look forward to seeing your uncle and aunt. We haven’t seen each other for many years, and we really miss you so much. If you don’t go, I’ll go with your sister.” Xue Die laughed and said, “Why can’t I just say so? Since my mother said so, I After handing over the matter here, we will set off on another day."

Xue Die knew that his mother didn't have much knowledge, so she must have not given up her mind yet, so she didn't bother him, and just walked all the way to the sister's courtyard.Baochai was drawing flowers with her maid, Jin Yinger, in the room. When she saw Xue Die coming, she hurriedly got up to give up her seat, and ordered her maid to pour tea.Seeing Yinger serving tea, Xue Die said, "Go out now, I'll talk to the girl." Knowing that his brother and sister had something to say, Yinger put down the tea tray, closed the door and went out after a blessing.

Xue Die then told his sister what his mother had said, and said, "If you really have the ambition, I won't stop you. Just don't wrong yourself because of that laoshizi Guangyao's lintel. Our family didn't need to do this. Others What does this have to do with us? Live a good life by yourself is decent." Baochai agreed with him on a regular basis, and said deeply, "My brother is right. I didn't mean it. My mother is old, and some words are unnecessary. Take it to heart. It's just human nature that mother misses her aunt and uncle. Why don't you go to the capital so that my brother can join the ministry to settle the old debts and reorganize the property in the capital." Xue Die laughed and said, "That's exactly what I said. I know you have long wanted to go to Beijing, saying that mother misses my aunt and uncle is just an excuse. If so, let’s leave in a few days.” Baochai blushed, and was about to spit at him, but Xue Die had already got up and left.

Waiting for the departure, I don't remember the day on the road.When he was about to enter the capital that day, he heard that his uncle Wang Ziteng had been promoted to the control of the nine provinces, and he was ordered to leave the capital to check the border.Xue Dieyin discussed with his mother: "Although we have a few houses in Beijing, it's just that no one has lived in Beijing for the past ten years, so we need to ask a few people to clean them first." His mother said: "Why are you so ostentatious! When we came to Beijing, we were supposed to visit relatives and friends first, or stay at your uncle's house, or your uncle's house. The houses of his two families are very cheap. We can live there first, and then we can slowly move in. Go clean up, why don't you stop." Xue Die said: "What does cleaning up the house have to do with showing off! Now that my uncle is being promoted to another province, the family is naturally getting up in a hurry. If we go at this time, don't we have no eyes. We have all the houses at home, why bother?" Going to be disliked?" His mother said: "Although your uncle's family has been promoted, there is still your uncle's family. Besides, in the past few years, your uncle and aunt have always brought us letters and books to pick us up. Now that we have come Now, although your uncle is busy getting up, your aunt of the Jia family may not stay with us. Isn't it strange that we are busy tidying up the house? I know what you mean. It would be tight to live with your uncle and aunt For you, why don't you live alone, so that you can do whatever you want. Since you are like this, you can choose a house to live in, and I will take your sister to your aunt's house, how about you?" Xue Die said when he saw him say so , I just fell back in anger, knowing that I couldn't turn it around, so I had to secretly tell my sister a few words, and at the same time hurriedly ordered people to tidy up the house before making plans.Originally he was alert, but he guessed that his mother had stopped thinking about getting Baochai into the palace, but she also wanted to marry Jia's family. .
