The Jade of the Red Chamber

This was not long after the separation of the family. Jia Huan and Aunt Zhao bought a two-entry small house next to Jia Lianfeng's house with their savings over the years, and brought their uncle Zhao Guoji to live with them.

Aunt Zhao touched the newly purchased furniture back and forth, and couldn't believe that this house belonged to her.It turned out that the two little girls who were serving her lingered after the separation, and were reluctant to follow their mothers away. Jia Huan simply didn't take any of them, and stayed in the second room.After moving, I bought a few young maids from Ren Yazi to serve Aunt Zhao and Tanchun. Fortunately, Tanchun's servant girl was loyal, so she followed her this time, saving Jia Huan for her sister. Find out how to use the big maid.

When he arrived at the new house, Jia Huan was the son of the top family, and everyone in the house called him "Master", not to mention "Third Master".But Aunt Zhao turned over greatly, and the servants specially gathered together, kowtowed to her respectfully, saying: "Madam", Tanchun is naturally a "girl".

This name called Mrs. Zhao made Aunt Zhao seem to be dreaming. Fang couldn't react at first, and she smiled with joy every time. For a person like her who is used to miserly, she would ask those big money to reward the girls when she heard this.

Tanchun, on the other hand, knew from the past that her biological mother and younger brother really missed her, but at the end of the matter, she was still a little uneasy.Thinking of how she treated her biological mother and younger brother in the past few years, Tanchun felt a little feverish on her face, and felt a little uncomfortable in her actions. When she arrived at her new home, she came again with a real uncle whom she had never acknowledged. What a neat girl, now she is a little bit I can't make up my face, but I often stay in the room and can't come out.

Tanchun was in the bed tent, tossing and turning, babbling repeatedly, when the waiter heard that he hurried forward, "Girl? Girl!"

Tanchun sat up abruptly, sweating profusely on his head, and the words in his dream were still ringing in his ears: "Who is my uncle? My uncle has just been promoted to the nine provincial inspections, and another uncle came out of there? I used to press I respect these relatives more and more. That being said, why did Zhao Guoji stand up and go to school with him every day when he went out every day? Why didn't he take out his uncle's money? Note①"..." Baoyu lost jade , only Huaner is the only thing that narrows the gap"...

Tanchun leaned weakly on the bedpost, and told Shi Shu to go to sleep, she closed her eyes, these words were said by her once.She said it when Zhao Guoji was ill and Zhao Auntie asked Tanchun for help to invite a doctor with a famous post from the mansion, and what she said to Mrs. Wang when Baoyu didn't know how to leave the jade with Qin Zhong.Tanchun covered her mouth, lay on the brocade quilt and began to cry, these were things she didn't want to think about on a daily basis, and thinking of them, she felt ashamed to see her biological mother and younger brother...

Feeling depressed and uncomfortable, Tanchun couldn't tell what it was like in her heart now, there was remorse and guilt, but if things happened all over again, wouldn't she do the same thing as before in such an environment?Clutching the clothes on his chest, Tanchun thought deeply about what he had done all these years for the first time.

When the Rongguo Mansion was still there, Tanchun was always refreshing and generous in the eyes of the master and servants. Not to mention the second girl welcoming the spring, she was much more respected than the man Huan'er. Just because of this status, Tanchun, the "thorn Rose" always stabbed her own mother's heart. Compared with Sister Feng, who was nicknamed "Spicy" in her early years, she was a servant, but she was much "higher." The only ones are the mother and younger brother who are neglected in every possible way and looked down upon in every possible way.

The secretary has always known about Tanchun's heart disease. She is clever and articulate. She was once praised by Sister Feng as "a good girl who has a master and a servant." Now she is helpless, thinking about the past Thinking about life in the future, it was inevitable that there would be tears and soft sobs on the small couch outside.

Although the two masters and servants were quiet, but the night was quiet, and "Mrs. Zhao" was next door to them, and she couldn't sleep because of the excitement of what happened these days. Didn't she hear some movement? Aunt Zhao listened attentively. She is well aware of this voice, when she was run on and bullied in previous years, she cried secretly under the quilt like this.Aunt Zhao couldn't lie down anymore, she hurriedly put on her clothes and came to pat on the door of Tanchun's room.

...The two mothers cried for a while, but they explained the past clearly.

As for Tanchun, Aunt Zhao never complained about this daughter who climbed out of her belly but abused her biological mother and younger brother to get close to Mrs. Wang. Everyone knows that Aunt Zhao has a twisted temper, low knowledge, and loves to care about every detail. It's just that she has a loving mother's heart, and Jia Huan persuaded her to think more about the third sister, and after a long time, she also understood in her heart, after all, Tanchun was a concubine who was raised alone in front of her aunt, so no matter how she said it was wrong. easy.

In this way, after a period of time, Tanchun finally let go of the old things, and the family has a lot of fun together.

It was also at this time that Tanchun realized that his own mother had such a good embroidery work, which was much better than the female master and the most dexterous Qingwen invited before. Aunt Zhao was very proud and taught her hand in hand.Tanchun learned to ask casually: "Mother has such a handicraft, why hasn't she heard of it before?"

Aunt Zhao smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly changed the conversation.She is a slave from a family background, and she can be given to the master by the old lady as his aunt. She has natural appearance, craftsmanship, and temperament, but why would the wife want the master to wear the embroidery work made by the aunt?If she doesn't make trouble or be vulgar, how can she protect Huan'er, those people won't trample the two of them into the mud?You can't tell Tanchun about these things. Her Tanchun is going to be hired to be a decent lady, so she knows what these things are for.

……

It's spring again, and Tanchun is almost ready in a blink of an eye. Yingchun has already added two fat and white boys to her husband's family, and Tanchun's marriage has not yet been settled.

Aunt Zhao urged Jia Huan and Zhao Guoji to find out good families from Tanchun, the nephew and uncle were really worried.

Tanchun is different from Yingchun. The marriage contract with Shang Dan, the second prince of Qianxiang Kingdom, made the streets and alleys know the name of the third lady of Rongguo Mansion. In the end, nothing happened, but Tanchun's reputation was damaged. The wave after wave of incidents that Mrs. Shang made, the gossip that came out of the mouth of the second-bedroom servant, Tanchun, the "rose" raised in front of his aunt, is even more well-known.As a result, none of the good families that Jia Huan and Zhao Guoji admired were willing to marry, even if Jia Huan was a scholar, it was useless.

Jia Huan wanted to find a good marriage for his sister with a scholar who had permanent property, and asked his classmates to say that they would marry a few families, but when the people around the capital heard that the girl was the third lady of the Rongguo Mansion, they returned the marriage and left. Even if I inquire from afar, I don't want to.

Aunt Zhao was so worried that her hair fell out, and every time someone didn't want to, she would scold him in the room.But with Tanchun's temperament and talent, if she were to marry into an ordinary farmer, wouldn't she be too wronged? Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan would never be willing to part with her; Talk to the three aunts and six wives outside, those muddleheaded people who have only a handful of strength, they can't say that they hear something outside and go back and feel angry with Tanchun. If that's the case, they might as well not marry.

Tanchun was very indifferent, as the old concubine Nan'an failed to design, she had this consciousness when she was divorced by Qian Xiangguo.Now she is in charge of everything in this small inner house, even Jia Huan's classmates, wife, etc. are in good order. When visiting spring, she spends time talking with her mother and becomes a female celebrity. Very comfortable.Aunt Zhao got too anxious and started messing around, saying that Tanchun was "the emperor is not in a hurry with eunuchs", which made Tanchun grin.

Yingchun was confinement, and finally got out of the tense care of Ding's family and went out for a walk. Mrs. Xing hurriedly took him home to live for a few days. Together with her uncle and newborn brother, Jia She was happy Have fun with the baby.Yingchun is a little more blessed than before, her complexion is better, and she can see that she is living a very comfortable life.

Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Ding liked this daughter-in-law, not to mention that Yingchun gave birth to a big fat boy a year after entering the house. Well, Ding Xiucai is also a person who knows the cold and heat. After being raised all these years, the one born in the spring is even more beautiful than when she was a girl before.Now that a little grandson has been added to the Ding family, the old couple are so happy that they don't know what to do. The Ding family has been an only child for two generations, and Yingchun gave birth to two boys. I am more energetic, and even the teachers in the school say that next year's autumn is expected.

Yingchun had a good time, and this time when I returned to my natal family, I was naturally worried about the future of my sisters.

Xichun is okay, she has always liked Daiyu, and the Lin family has often sent people to pick her up and stay here for a few years, even if she looks at the face of the Lin family, she is not worried about no good people coming to marry her, not to mention that she is quite worthy of the servant's house Mrs. Zhou's sympathy, the dowry has already been prepared, and now there are several matchmakers coming to the door to make a match, and the only thing to worry about is which one to choose.

Only Tanchun, who is about to reach Jiji, has not yet settled in his life, has a bad reputation outside, and Jia Huan is at best a scholar, and he really can't do it well in the capital.At the beginning, the Lin family also invited her to go, but at that time Tanchun felt embarrassed to come, so she refused to go back. Later, she had no reason to go. Jia Huan was also afraid that her sister's reputation would be borrowed from the Lin family, and she would marry her. I was also angry in the past, so it was delayed.

Yingchun felt very uncomfortable seeing the third sister now. When they were raised together in front of the old lady, she did not know how many times she secretly envied the third sister. How did she come to this situation.As soon as Yingchun went home, she saw that the youngest son had the old couple of Ding's family, so they didn't need to watch too much, so they let go of other things and talked about Tanchun's marriage.Or else it's a woman's business to pull fiber and protect the media, Yingchun has always had a good reputation in this small town, and with the help of Mrs. Ding, who has a wide range of people, she really let her find a better one.

Yingchun and Ding Xiucai came to tell Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan in person that this family was also surnamed Ding, a wealthy family in Linzhen, and they were related to Yingchun's husband's ancestors.The family background of this family is a bit stronger than that of Yingchun's husband's family. Both the old lady and the old man died young. Well, the family wants to marry a wife who can manage the house and govern the board. After inquiring about Tanchun, he is also very satisfied. He doesn't care about Tanchun's bad name, but the fly in the ointment is that Mr. Ding is a widower, and his original wife died of dystocia. A two-year-old girl was left behind.

Speaking of this condition, for Tanchun, before these things happened, the three girls of Rongfu would not even take a look, but now it is a very good choice.Yingchun inquired very clearly that this Mr. Ding is a good-natured man, and he is well-known in Linzhen. In the past two years, a matchmaker also offered him a marriage proposal. Mr. Ding felt sorry for his daughter and was in trouble with the family business, so he delayed it. Many acquaintances greeted each other and promised to give big red envelopes to the matchmaker. That's why this incident happened. Master Ding just heard that Tanchun's housekeeper is very good, and she used to be a girl from the government. Worrying is just right.

Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan thought about it for a while, and then agreed temporarily. Jia Huan went to the town to inquire about it, and brought back the portrait of Master Ding.Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhao had a good talk with Tan Chunfen. After seeing Master Ding's portrait, Tan Chun readily agreed. Seeing the happy appearance of her second sister, she was also looking forward to it.This time I heard that it was Yingchun Zhangluo, and I already agreed five points in my heart. She knows the temperament of the second sister best. No matter how cowardly she was when she was a child, she never said a word that was untrue. Talk about this marriage.Hearing what Huan'er said about what Master Na Ding did, Tan Chun always liked honest and upright gentlemen, but now his face was slightly flushed, and looking at the appearance of Master Ding in the portrait, Tan Chun already bowed his head shyly in response. up.

Aunt Zhao, Jia Huan, and Zhao Guoji were overjoyed. Tanchun’s dowry has been prepared since the separation of the family. The Lin family had returned 1000 taels of silver earlier. Now Tanchun’s dowry is full of 28 pieces. With the current family status, it is already very respectable.There are no parents in the Ding family, but they never neglected it. They specially invited the elders of the clan to help. Tanchun.

After all, she is her own younger sister. Even if the world doesn't know it, Zhenyu went there when Tanchun got married, and bought a small village of more than [-] mu in the town as Tanchun's private house. Yuqian also went to put on makeup the day before, and Jia Huan and others were very grateful.After Daiyu left, Aunt Zhao opened the wooden box she had sent, and inside was a whole set of gold hair masks. She was so startled that Aunt Zhao clasped her hands together and recited "Amitabha".

……

It was a day more than ten years later, it coincided with Master Ding's birthday, and several tables of friends came. The family members were talking in the inner hall. Duck face, handsome eyebrows and slender eyes, looking forward to flying, which one is it not Tanchun!

At this time, she was already the mother of three children. Except for the eldest daughter left by her original spouse, she gave birth to a son and a daughter for Mr. Ding. They were well-bred, filial and sensible.Tan Chun smiled heartily. All the relatives and friends who came down to know that this Mrs. Ding is very capable. Not only is the eldest daughter left by her original spouse very close to her, but also makes others praise her for her virtue, and her housekeeper skills are even more impressive. Marrying and coming in, the Ding family is well-managed from top to bottom.Because Mrs. Ding is capable, Mr. Ding still picked up the books that he had to put down because of his family business. Although he has stopped being a scholar in this life, the fame of a scholar can make most of the Ding family's farms pay their taxes. In this small town, it is a very decent family.

Tanchun touched the newly made golden step on the high bun, shook the hand of the eldest daughter, and sighed a little, it was time to arrange the marriage for her daughter.

That night, when Tanchun woke up from his dream, he seemed to be able to see the beautiful scenery of the Grand View Garden in the past. He remembered that he had ambitions when he was young. Being unwilling to be a concubine, now think about it... Master Ding felt her movement beside him, took her in his arms in a daze, stretched out his hand to tuck the corner of the quilt, and fell asleep muttering "cover it" in his mouth. Chun's face was slightly red, her eyes were full of happiness, she snuggled into her husband's arms, closed her eyes and fell asleep, without a dream all night.
