After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

In these years, the etiquette in the south of the Yangtze River is much stricter than that in the north and even the central plains.Like the "blind date", Mrs. Xiao loves her daughter so much, she learned from the capital city that she let the two young children go around her garden together with the maidservant, and there is absolutely no money for private meetings relation.

But this is so, on the Jiangnan side, it is already quite out of the ordinary.

But the Xiao family is extremely rich, and Grandma Xin's red makeup was also obvious to all when she got married.Therefore, I don't know how many people want to marry the Xiao family.For this point to be out of line, naturally no one will talk about it unknowingly.

But it's not that there's no one there, they're all very knowledgeable.

"...There is another more interesting one. He is just a scholar, not even born. But he is very learned when he speaks. Yunzi said when he opened his mouth and kept his mouth shut, as if he was afraid that others would not know him. It's like reading a few books. That's all... Come, try this hongma tea."

Xiao Ling gave Baochai a cup of boiled tea, and said: "He is knowledgeable, but I met him for the first time, and he seemed to think that I must marry him. He asked me first. I have never read a book, but when I heard that I have read a few books, I frowned and said that a woman who has no talent is a virtue. Hey, sister, tell me, is he sick?"

Baochai said: "Sister doesn't need to pay attention to such a vulgar man."

In her previous life, Baochai worked as she wished, and never lived a day according to her own will, nor a day when she was happy.Just like that, it ended up like that.

She sees it through.

Men in this world, whether they are capable or not, cannot tolerate their wives being stronger than themselves.

If the man Xiao Ling mentioned, if he passed the examination of talent, or even Juren, he wouldn't care that Xiao Ling had studied at all.On the contrary, he would also feel that having such a wife would be a good story in the future.

"Of course I won't argue with him, it's just an incompetent man who has no ability and can't see a good woman." Xiao Ling sneered, and then talked about another one: "There is another one, he will teach me when he comes up, women should be honest at home It is not advisable to take care of husband and raise children on the ground, like my mother, who shows up all day long. Let me be a warning, so as not to end up like my big sister."

Xiao Lingdan just recounted the scene at that time, the anger in his eyes was about to burst out.One can imagine how she felt when she suddenly heard such words.

"If it wasn't for my mother's warning, I would have put the tea bowl on his head at that time!"

Grandma Xin's unsatisfactory life is not only Mrs. Xiao's heart disease, but also Xiao Ling's heart.This person exposed her scars as soon as he came up, it's no wonder she wasn't angry!

Baochai quickly reassured her: "Sister, calm down, sister, calm down. With such things, it's an embarrassment for him to argue with him."

Xiao Ling took a deep breath, patted Baochai's hand, and said gratifiedly: "I know that no matter what others do, my sister will definitely understand me. As long as I think of my sister's life, my heart will... "

Uncle Xin's pregnant concubine was never born.

Although the result of the investigation was that Uncle Xin's other concubines did it, both Mrs. Xin and Uncle Xin blamed it on Grandma Xin, insisting that she was not strict with the family.

God knows, Grandma Xin can't touch the backyard of Uncle Xin's family at all. With the support of the mother and son, a few concubines are in charge of it.In the end, something happened, but she came to blame, and insisted on punishing her to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Mrs. Xiao didn't dare to take care of her, fearing that her daughter would be more difficult to do in the future.It was the elder sister-in-law, Grandma De, who couldn't stand it anymore, and secretly put pressure on the Xin family, and the master of the Xin family intervened, so that Grandma Xin's innocent disaster was avoided.

Since this matter was a family matter, Mr. Xin suppressed it early in the morning, so he didn't wear anything.Therefore, Baochai didn't know, and when she heard about Grandma Xin, she thought it was the past.

But it was really hard for outsiders to talk about this kind of thing, so she could only pat Xiao Ling's hand and comfort her silently.

Fortunately, Xiao Ling was able to think about it, and after feeling uncomfortable for a while, he talked to her about the blind date a few days ago: "Let me tell you, there is another one of the best, sister, you listen, and you will definitely be able to laugh for half a year."

"Oh, what do you say?" Baochai showed a very interested look.

Xiao Ling smiled sarcastically: "Who started to inquire about my dowry within less than five sentences with me. Why, don't these men always look down on our women? I think what he meant, but in the future it will be Count on my dowry to live well. Pooh, what the hell!"

As Xiao Ling talked, tears came out: "Just because my aunt and my sister are having a bad life, do you think I can't get married?"

"Sister, don't cry, I feel bad when you cry." Baochai also choked up when he thought of the suffering he had suffered in his previous life, "This world has always been harsh on us women. If you can bear it, it's just a virtuous and virtuous face." , as long as there is something a little out of the ordinary, it will be criticized by thousands of people."

The two girls looked at each other, and they were a little embarrassed to see each other's eyes were red.

"Sister, don't cry, it's all my fault, which made you feel uncomfortable." Xiao Ling wiped away the tears for Baochai, and broke into a smile, "Let's finally come out and relax, we should be happy, why? Did you cry instead?"

Baochai also wiped away Xiao Ling's tears, and asked worriedly: "Sister, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Ling sighed: "What else can I do? Try to procrastinate! Anyway, my mother and my sister-in-law are a little scared by the sister's matter, and they don't have the heart to rush me."

"What about your clan?" Baochai was still worried.

In this year when the patriarchal clan is greater than the national law, if the clan insists on marrying Xiao Ling on the grounds of protecting the reputation of the daughters of the whole clan, even Mrs. Xiao, the head of the family, has to obey.

Therefore, when mentioning the clan, Xiao Ling also felt worried, and said angrily: "In the worst case, I will follow sister Xin's family and become an aunt myself!"

After saying a word, she suddenly felt that this was also a way out, and she couldn't help thinking.

Baochai sighed, "How can it be so easy?"

In this matter, the biggest resistance is still the clan.

The reason why Xin Xin thought of taking this path was because the Xin family had not made a fortune for many years, and the members of the clan were thin, and they all relied on their own family for their livelihood.In other words, Xin Xin only needs to get her parents right, and this idea can be realized.

Even so, Xin Xin was ready to completely break up with her family.

In Baochai's previous life, Xin Xin did break with her family.It's just that for some reason, Master Xin didn't let this disobedient daughter leave the house, but divided her a share of the property.

But since then, Xin Xin has never returned to the Xin family.

"Yeah, how easy is it?" Xiao Ling seemed to have figured it out, his eyes sparkled, "It's a big deal, I'll just leave the house!"

Baochai did not dissuade her under the banner of doing her best, but said: "No matter what my sister decides, I will support you."

Xiao Ling smiled gratefully at her, and said with emotion: "Why don't you say you are a man? But if you are a man, I will definitely marry you without saying a word."

But Baochai smiled and said: "If I am really a man, I am afraid I can't understand the difficulties of my daughter's family. How can my sister still like me?"

Even Jia Baoyu, who is the most sympathetic and sympathetic to jade, just treats her daughter's family as a fragile and fragile glazed lamp, pity her, but never understands, why does her daughter's family need pity?And if he has the chance to stand up, which daughter's family really cares about his self-righteous pity?

In the final analysis, the knife didn't pierce him, so he didn't know the pain.

Xiao Ling thought for a while, then nodded in agreement: "That's true."

Baochai didn't want her to think about these unhappy things anymore, so she asked with a smile: "My sister asked me to come, isn't it to enjoy the flowers?"

Xiao Ling knew what she wanted, so she also stood up and said to Baochai: "I have received a big order here. A customer ordered two hundred pots of Xifu Begonia bonsai and asked them to grow longevity characters. I already chose yesterday. Well, Miao Zi, I'm preparing for the silver thread molding today. How about you follow me to have a look?"

After hearing this, Baochai couldn't help being moved.It's just that this is someone else's business secret, how can she spy on it as an outsider.Therefore, he hesitated: "Is this not very good?"

Xiao Ling pulled her to the greenhouse: "I can trust my younger sister's personality. Besides, my younger sister doesn't want to make a bonsai for your father's hall?"

Baochai stopped talking and let her drag her into the greenhouse.

The bonsai requested by this customer is relatively tall, and they are all five feet long without a flower pot.When the two entered, several craftsmen were already busy pruning the branches and leaves.Seeing that Xiao Ling brought a stranger in, they all stopped what they were doing and called respectfully: "Second Miss."

Xiao Ling quickly asked people to stand up: "Everyone doesn't need to be too polite, just keep busy with your work."

Several craftsmen looked at each other, and a man in charge looked at Baochai, and asked softly, "Second Miss, this is..."

Baochai was a little embarrassed: "Sister, I'd better go out." She was a little reckless today.

"No need." Xiao Ling grabbed her and said to the manager, "She's not an outsider, so go ahead, let's take a look."

"Yes." After getting her words, the manager didn't ask any more questions, and responded neatly.It can be seen how prestige Xiao Ling has in front of this group of people.

Xiao Ling led Baochai to the more than 20 pots of Xifu Begonia placed alone, and said to her: "These are prepared in advance, in case any of them are damaged or become disabled halfway. Do you want them?" Try? I'll teach you."

"Is it possible?" Baochai was eager to try.

"Of course it is possible." Xiao Ling said, "On weekdays, there are customers who are interested, so they came here to learn."

Baochai took a look at the steward and saw that he didn't look strange, so she knew it was all right.Only then did she nod her head: "Then please trouble my sister to teach me this stupid student."
