Whose Bride in the Red Chamber

"Master, it's late at night, it's time to go to bed."

Fangniang's slightly concerned voice came from outside the house, the sound of the wooden fish beeping for a moment, and then it sounded again and again, with the tune of reciting the mantra of the past life, neither sick nor slow, neither sad nor happy.

It seemed to hear a barely audible sigh, followed by the sound of fine footsteps.After that, there will be no more.

master?

What kind of master is she?

The sound of the wooden fish gradually died down, and the woman kneeling on the mat slowly moved the corners of her mouth, revealing a cold smile.She is the Song family. In the past, everyone called her Aunt Song, but now they call her Master vaguely.However, everyone knew that she was just a disgusted woman, a woman who had sinned deeply and repented before the Buddha.

She is the son of the Lin family, her mother is the lady in charge of the old lady, and her father is the manager in charge of purchasing in the mansion. When she was very young, she followed her mother to do odd jobs beside the old lady. The old lady liked her ingenuity, so she named her Liuli, and then became a first-class maid in the North Courtyard.

I still remember that it was many, many years ago, as long as it was a previous life. I vaguely remember that the pomegranate flowers bloomed very brightly that year, and she secretly went to the garden to pick flowers and put hairpins on her hair. Brilliant blossoms one by one, making the sisters and children a lot of jokes.One day, just like today, the sky was as clean as water, and it was sunny and bright in the warm spring. The old lady called her to her, put a red pomegranate flower hairpin on her, and said to the wife: Liuli, I leave it to you.

I don't remember how my wife answered at that time, but it should be a very virtuous and demure smile.

Then, she followed his wife and left the North Courtyard in a daze.Three days later, she became the master's roommate and lived in a small and narrow courtyard.Everyone no longer calls her Liuli, but——

Aunt Song.

The sisters who were acquainted at first would salute her from a distance when they saw her. They were respectful, but they were also unfamiliar. , She also had a very nice name, a name that she was very happy in her heart: Lanyi.

Su Xin Ruolan, IKEA IKEA.

The mother said that it was the name that my father picked out with great difficulty after secretly flipping through the books for seven months. She only hoped that she would be as beautiful as Lanhua, and that she could find a man like her father, and then have a peaceful and beautiful life. Have a little time.So when only the family is around, they will smile and call themselves Lan Yi.

However, on the night when the pomegranate flower hairpin was added to her hair, her mother held her hand and sat under the lamp, looking at her hesitantly, crying silently: Liuli, go back, go back , I like to serve the master and wife.

That was the first time that my mother didn't call her Lan Yi in private. At that time, she didn't understand, and she still had a longing for tomorrow in her heart. She happily changed into a pink dress and moved to the exquisite courtyard. Then he happily waited for the master to come to see him all night.The master is a very gentle and refined man, he will gently teach her to read poems, carefully correct her writing posture, laugh and praise her for her good-looking netting, and...

At that time, she was smiling every day and every night, and her heart was full of joy and happiness that was about to overflow. She eagerly looked forward to every night, every sweetness, and then quietly treasured it deep in her heart. .She dared not tell others about the shyness of this little girl, she only told her mother quietly.But every time, my mother always looked at her with eyes she didn't understand, and called her "Liuli" with a sigh.

Mother, why did you call your daughter Liuli?I remember she asked so puzzled.

But the mother just stroked her rolled-up hair and said: You are no longer the little Lanyi in Wei Niang's arms, so naturally I should call you Liuli.Remember for your mother, you, also remember it firmly and don't forget it.

Sighing one after another, she really didn't understand at the time, whether Liuli or Lanyi, isn't it all about herself?Just like she never knew, the original happy dream was so short, even grew butterfly wings and could fly, but when she woke up, it had all changed.

In the spring of that year, the winter jasmine flowers bloomed very early, clusters and clusters, covering the branches, and the magpies stopped on the eaves and called happily. People in the house said that this was a good omen, which meant a very beautiful season. .

Not many days later, the old lady came back from visiting relatives, and brought a young Miss Su to live in the mansion with her.She also asked her mother curiously, and when she heard that it was the old lady who took the photo for the old man, she felt a little shy, but when she learned that she saved the old lady's life, she was also grateful to her from the bottom of her heart.Once in the garden, she also saw a very gentle and elegant woman from a distance, smiling shyly, as gentle as water.She took her heart seriously, and inquired with the little maids who called Miss Su in private, knowing that she was very gentle and kind, she was a little relieved.

At that time, she was thinking, the magpies are full of branches, could it mean that the happy event is approaching?

However, she never expected that in the blink of an eye, Miss Su had an accident in the mansion, she said she sneaked into the master's study, and it turned out to be a good thing.The mother-in-law and servants in the mansion spread the news with their noses and eyes, as if they were on the scene.When she first heard about it, she didn't believe it. How could such a shy girl, who usually speaks softly, do such a shameless thing?What's more, the old lady had this intention, why would she need to take the risk?

It's just that the story goes further down, but it is beyond everyone's expectations.First, Jixiang's affair with others was broken by the boys in the garden, and then the master planned to make Miss Su treat like his own cheeky aunts.No matter how Miss Su is, she is also an official, and she has done things like this, but she has indeed passed.Hearing what my mother said, the old lady was also very angry, but the master insisted on it, and then froze.At that time, she had a vague guess, the master has always ignored internal affairs, how could he suddenly intervene?Talking to my mother, my mother just sighed, saying that Miss Su is also a poor person.

No one could have imagined that Miss Su was so stubborn that she flatly refused the suggestion to stay in the mansion, and just went back to the nunnery to live without looking back.Such a sudden change made everyone not wake up for a long time.However, she didn't know that when she woke up, it turned out to be such an unbearable ending.

Because of jealousy and hatred, in order to keep his face in front of the old lady, he drugged Miss Su to frame her.

It seemed that this was the original charge.

Song tilted her head and thought for a while, then laughed uncontrollably, leaning forward and backward, laughing until tears came out.She is the son of the Lin family, and her mother is highly valued by the old lady. How can she compete for favor and dignity with an orphan who came in from outside?

But since the master thinks you are, you must be.

She complained, she cried, but everything, when she saw her parents sighing with tears when they visited the firewood room in the dark, she really understood.It turns out that she can no longer be the mother's Lanyi, she is just Liuli in front of the old lady, the master is willing to give some face, it is for the old lady; the wife feels uncomfortable when she sees it, and it is also for the old lady; The real culprit of jealousy can't do without the old lady.

So, she obediently returned to the north courtyard. In the small side courtyard, the wooden fish was green and the lights were green. She watched with cold eyes the wife picked a reason to send her parents away. She watched the old lady sigh and feel dissatisfied. The undercurrent is surging, watching the rise and fall of the metabolism in the mansion with cold eyes.

Then, the old lady disappeared, so she moved to the most remote and secluded corner, and repented alone in the name of the old lady.

Yes, confession.Regret that I did not make qualified glass, regret that I caused my parents to die in depression, regret that I was naive and ignorant, I thought that black is black and white is white, but I don’t know whether it is true or false or false or true, true or false , it was not something she could say.

The ancient Buddha with blue lanterns, eating fast and chanting scriptures.She thought that her life was over like this.

However, she forgot the word "unpredictable".When someone sent a message inviting her to meet and talk in detail, she knew that it would be difficult to live in peace in the future.But so what, she has long since had nothing to worry about and is alone with her family, so what else should she be taboo about?

So, for the first time, she left this cold and quiet room, left this cocoon-bound cage, and saw outsiders.

Unexpectedly, after ten years, that Miss Su came back.What's more, she didn't expect that she would fight alone for a foundation, a good name, and a capital that could be used to settle past grievances.When she heard that it was she who asked her for help, she agreed without thinking about it.Ten years of repentance before the Buddha, the Buddha has long been powerless to redeem, lingering, remaining in the world, she didn't know what she was doing for, but at this moment, she suddenly realized, it turned out that she had never let go in her heart, she was unwilling , she is absolutely unwilling to be burdened with innocent sins, let alone that woman with her virtuous reputation at ease.

At that time, due to the entanglement of the family and children, her relatives left and scattered, all of them were sent out of the Lin Mansion, and spent the rest of their lives in some corner of the village.But it is also because of her status as a child of the family that she knows things that others do not know, and sees things that others are difficult to see, so she has the opportunity to find a credible and available ally and tell the whole story.

It turned out that in her whole life, she couldn't get rid of the word Liuli even after going around and around.

Song sighed softly, looked up at the dusk night sky outside the house, covered with layers of thick curtains, making it difficult for people to see the depths of the sky, whether it was black or white.

The sound of the wooden fish sounded again, and Mrs. Song lowered her eyelids slightly, and recited the mantra of passing away with indifference, not for parents, not for the old lady, just for——

Yourself.

I only hope that in the next life, I can use this mantra of rebirth to let her live in peace, let her be peaceful, let her be herself once again, be Lan Yi who is Su Xin Ruolan and suitable for a house and IKEA, and does not seek rich concubines, but only hopes poor wife.
