New Dream of Red Mansions

Xiyan didn't expect Brother Yu to return to Beijing in a hurry just for this matter.Her expression softened slightly, "Even if Jia's house is ransacked now, you still don't change your mind,"

Brother Yu said solemnly, "Sister, what I like is Sister Xichun. From now on, she doesn't have the support of her mother's family, so I will be her backer. My sister said that a man should be his wife, children, and family members." hold up the sky."

Xiyan smiled in satisfaction, "Since you have made up your mind, don't go back on your word in the future. Remember what you said today. If you fail Xichun in the future, I will be the first to spare you!"

Brother Yu didn't expect the matter to be passed so easily, so he readily agreed.

Xiyan asked him if he told the third grandfather and others.

Brother Yu lowered his head. He came to look for his sister as soon as he arrived in the capital, but he forgot to look for Third Grandpa and the others.

Xiyan frowned slightly, and said, "Then why don't you go back to pay your respects soon? I'll go back and talk to the third grandma in person, and then I'll make a decision about going to Jia's mansion."

Even if Jia's mansion wants to move back to Jinling, it won't be able to go back in a short while, so there is still plenty of time, but Brother Yu can't wait here.

If you miss this year's autumn, you will have to wait another three years.

Xi Yan, who is an official or not, thinks it doesn't matter, but it is naturally best for Brother You to embark on an official career.

I thought that most of the civil servants in the previous life were over 23 and four years old, maybe Brother Yu can wait until the next session?

Xiyan told Brother Yu about her thoughts.

Brother Yu immediately objected with a stern face, "Sister, I can make it in time." For becoming an official, his obsession is deeper than that of his sister.

He wants to be his sister's support, and also wants to make a career to fulfill his father's ideal.This time, because he followed Lin Hui to the mountains to find a celebrity who had lived in seclusion, he didn't know what happened to Jia's family until he left the mountain.Because he was thinking about Xichun, he hurried back, otherwise he wouldn't take the risk of not being able to catch up with Qiu Wei.

Xiyan knew his obsession, so she didn't force him, she just asked him to go back and pay respects to the third grandpa and the others.Seeing his embarrassment, he couldn't bear it, and asked Chunlan to order the carriage, and she and Brother Yu went back together.

Brother Yu patted his head in embarrassment.

Xiyan stayed in Anping Street until night, when a little girl came to report: "Auntie, uncle is here to pick you up."

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Where is my uncle now?"

"I'm going to say hello to the old ladies, and I'm in the study now."

Mrs. Li nodded, patted Xiyan's hand and said: "You go back first, the children haven't seen you all day, I'm afraid there's a fuss." Saying this, she was about to get up and send Xiyan out.

Xiyan hurriedly held her down, "Grandmother, sit down and let the nanny take me out. This time Brother You didn't think carefully, you just punish him and let him remember to learn a lesson."

"We know, don't worry, we will write back to you after your Third Grandpa and Sixth Grandpa have discussed it."

Xi Yan nodded.

Xia Yuntian was already waiting in the carriage. Seeing his wife's tired face, he touched the corners of her eyebrows distressedly, and asked, "Are you exhausted?"

Xiyan leaned on Xia Yuntian's shoulder, "I'm a little tired, I really didn't expect Brother Yu to come back."

Xia Yuntian thought of the strange atmosphere in the study just now, and asked, "Why did you come back suddenly?"

Xiyan told about Brother You's request to marry Xichun, and sighed: "They have been able to play with each other since they were young, and I can feel it, but I thought Brother You and Xichun were still young, so I didn't mention it. , I just didn’t expect this kid to run back without saying a word.”

Xia Yuntian laughed and said: "I think he's pretty good. If the fourth girl is good, just tell him. Our family doesn't expect to marry Brother Yu."

Xiyan liked Xia Yuntian's talk about our family very much, so she nodded happily and said, "I mean to settle the marriage so that he can go to the exam with peace of mind."

In the study of the Wang family, seeing Brother Yu's disappearing figure, the third grandfather sighed in disappointment.

Grandpa Six frowned, and said, "Third Brother, since you don't like it, why do you agree?"

The third grandpa sighed: "This is the nature of blood relationship. In the past few years, Brother Yu has spent more time with us than Sister Yan, but whenever something happens, the first thing that Brother Yu thinks of is Sister Yan. Since he If you like it, it’s better to fulfill him.”

Grandpa Six fell silent.

It is impossible to say that they are not sad and not jealous, but they all know in their hearts that Xiyan's care for Brother Yu is no less than theirs, so the subconscious bias towards Brother Yu is also understandable.

In the end, you still have to take care of yourself.

Both of them looked forward to it in their hearts, if Brother Yu could have a child soon, no matter if it was a boy or a girl, they would still be able to take care of it for a few years, would it be considered a family happiness?

Thinking about it this way, he didn't reject Brother Yu's choice of the Jia family.

A few days later, Xiyan, who received the letter of approval, hurried to the yard rented by Jia's family on Anping Street.

Hearing that Xiyan wanted to find Mrs. You, Mrs. Wang and Baochai felt a little strange.Xiyan was raised in Xifu, and although she has contacts with You Shi and others, she is not as close as here. Why did she think of meeting You Shi?

Youshi is also a little strange.

But she still changed clothes and came out to receive the reception.

Xiyan stood up and saluted, "Sister-in-law!"

"Get up quickly," Youshi grabbed Xiyan's hand, pulled her to sit beside her, and said with a smile, "You and I still need to perform such a salute? Sit down and talk."

Xiyan pursed her lips into a smile, and asked directly, "I came here today to ask my sister-in-law something."

Youshi was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I don't know if my sister-in-law has any arrangements for my fourth sister?"

Youshi didn't understand it for a while, and said, "Of course we're going back to Gusu together." The big girl behind her was moved in her heart and quietly beckoned to her.

You Shi was taken aback, and had some vague guesses in his heart, but felt that it was impossible, and asked hesitantly, "What does Sister Yan mean?"

Xiyan laughed and said: "Sister-in-law also knows that my brother You and the fourth younger sister are about the same age, and now it's time to say goodbye. My brother played together, maybe he can tolerate his strange temper in the future, so I came to listen to your tone."

Youshi's eyes became hot, and he quickly lowered his head to cover it up.

Compared with Rongguo Mansion, Ningguo Mansion suffered even heavier losses.

At any rate, there are still Jia Zheng, Jia Lian and Baoyu in the West Mansion, and there are capable sisters Feng and Baochai in the inner house, not to mention Baochai's dowry and the property transferred by Mrs. Wang.But the population of their Dongfu was originally thin, and Jia Zhen was too absurd at the beginning. Even Jia Rong escaped because she was sent away in advance and spent money on management, but all her family assets were confiscated. Said that their Ningguo Mansion has almost nothing to hold on to.

At this time, Xi Yan's willingness to marry them can be said to have given them a way to survive.

Although Daiyu said that those Zhuangzi were used by the whole family, everyone knew that Daiyu was a cousin of the West Mansion, and the things were directly handed over to Jia Zheng.Who knows if their East Mansion will end up as a side branch after returning to Jinling?

So at this moment, there was an opportunity in front of her eyes, and Youshi seized it without even thinking about it. She pressed her eyes and forced a smile: "My sister doesn't mind that we are wearing a sinful body, so does Brother Yu." I watched him grow up, there is no better child than him. Of course we are willing."

Xi Yan laughed and said, "Then we will choose a good day to change the Geng Tie before making a decision, so that that brat can go to the exam with peace of mind."

You Shi was taken aback, "Didn't Brother Yu go to Gusu last year?"

Xi Yan said: "The child missed his nephews, so he wanted to come back to watch them catch Zhou, but he was delayed on the way, a day late."

But Youshi knew that Brother Yu had sent someone to deliver Zhou Zhou's gift half a month ago, so how could it be possible that he arrived half a month late?

Thoughtful in his heart, the smile on his face was even bigger, and he was slightly relieved in his heart.

As soon as Xiyan left, You Shi immediately went to the backyard to see Xichun.

Because of the accident in Jia's house, Xichun became quieter and lost a lot of weight.

Seeing You Shi came in, he got up and saluted and stood quietly aside, You Shi took her hand and let Ru Hua and others go down, and then said in a low voice: "My good sister, you've made it through!"

Xichun looked at Youshi suspiciously.

Youshi patted her head and sighed: "You are a lucky person. At the beginning, your eldest brother wanted to wait for you to grow up with a family with good character, and it was thanks to him that he had this thought, so he delayed it. I blamed him at first, but now I want to thank him. No matter how good it is, if his family dislikes our family, you will have a hard time even if you marry. not too much.

Xichun blushed, vaguely guessing why sister-in-law would say that, and thought to herself: If they force me to marry, I'll have my hair twisted and become a sister-in-law.

Youshi happily held Xichun's hand tightly, and said in a low voice: "Your sister Yan came over just now, and wanted to marry Brother Yu for you. If it was before, your eldest brother would definitely look down on him. You are ours anyway. Miss Di of Ningguo Mansion, today is different, but fortunately you grew up together, his family affairs are simple, and you grew up in front of your sister Yan, there is no better destination than this."

Xichun stood on the spot in a daze for a moment.

She liked Brother You, but she knew it was impossible the moment Ningguo Mansion was raided.She is the sister of a guilty minister, who would want to marry her as an official?But she knows Brother Yu's ideal.

You Shi just thought she was overjoyed, wiped away tears and got up and said: "Don't worry, we must handle this marriage in a decent way." Judging from the identities of the ladies of the Jia family, Xichun's status is far higher than that of Jia Yuanchun who entered the palace and became a noble concubine?

Jia Zheng didn't dare to wrong Xichun too much.

As soon as Youshi left, she entered the room after entering the painting. She knelt down in front of Xichun and cried, "Girl, you've finally made it through."

Tears welled up in Xichun's eyes.
