New Dream of Red Mansions

Xi Yan couldn't figure it out just by thinking about it, but she liked brightly colored clothes, so she nodded with a smile.

Jia's mother looked around and asked Li Wan, "How long will Brother Lan leave school?"

Li Wan replied: "There is still more than an hour."

Mother Jia nodded, "Tell people to go to the home school and wait. They will bring them back after school. You don't have to go to school when you go to school. I will also do something for Lang Geer. He is growing up now, so I can't say a single one." After the winter, I grow taller."

Although Li Wan felt that there was no need for Lang Ge'er to suspend school at home, he didn't say anything.

Mother Jia turned her head and told Xiyan, "Let Brother Yu come back, it's getting colder now, has their academy changed the time? Or leave so early in the morning, the child is weak and can't stand it."

Xiyan glanced at Baoyu who was talking to Xiangyun with a smile that was not a smile, and said with a smile: "Their husbands are strict, and I think it's too early these days. It's just that Brother Yu is stubborn, and it's just like reading books. He also said that he did not know how much luckier than others, that their husband said that there are countless students in the world who are studying hard and can't even fill their stomachs."

Jia's mother agreed deeply, "So we should be grateful for being born in such a family."

Wang Xiyan also felt that she was very lucky. In this life, she did not know how many people were luckier than others. She was hungry and cold. There is nothing more terrifying than hunger and cold in this world.

The tribulations of this life are hardly tribulations in relation to previous lives.

"That's what I told Brother Yu too."

Mother Jia likes Xiyan even more, and she thinks it is reasonable to go with Xiyan.

Baoyu disdains, "They go to school even when they can't even fill their stomachs. Isn't that a burden on the family? So what if they have studied and passed the official examination? Could it be that they turned around and exploited those who were once as poor as him? "

Xiyan looked at Baoyu and sighed. At this time, Baoyu was the same as when she was in elementary school, cynical and full of resentment towards those civil servants who hoped to get promoted and get rich. In my mind are people who accept bribes and do nothing serious, but as I grow older, experience more, and see more and more things, my mind slowly calms down. Looking back on the extremes of the year, I can only say yes Nothing more to do.

Now Baoyu is in this kind of situation. If someone preaches to him now, he will become more disgusted. Not only will his cognition of himself be strengthened, but he will also become more disgusted with the officialdom.

So Xiyan just smiled and didn't refute. She knew that Baoyu was still naive, and he couldn't think about those things independently.

Baochai frowned slightly, and persuaded: "Brother Bao is wrong. The so-called all things are low-grade, but education is high. They study and become officials in order to benefit the people and make their family live better. Brother You and Lan Brother Bao knows how to learn from a young age, and Brother Bao should learn more from them.” Don’t always spend three days fishing and two days drying the net.Baochai opened her mouth, and seeing that the old lady and Mrs. Wang were here, she swallowed the last sentence.

Mrs. Wang nodded gratefully at her, and pulled Baoyu, "Your elder sister Baoyu is right, look at you, you only went to school for a few days, and came back again, thanks to the master's absence, otherwise I don't know what will happen Well. If you want me to say, you should go back to school tomorrow, you can see that Brother Lang can go, and Brother Yu even gets up so early every day, you are older than them, is it possible that you are not as good as them?"

Baoyu twisted her body and looked at the old lady with displeasure.

Jia Mu said: "Okay, his father will teach him, and you will teach him too. It's like a mouse seeing a cat all day long. I don't think it's enough to scare me. People like us don't look forward to his imperial examinations, whether to read or not." It's all the same, and it's not that Baoyu doesn't study, you see people outside praise him for being smart."

Seeing Baoyu's blushing face and lowering her head, Xiyan smiled and shook her head. Seeing Mrs. Wang's embarrassment, she changed the subject and said, "Old lady, Baoyu just can't calm down. I think it's better to take it." Tie it up with a rope, let someone take the book and read it in his ear, and show it to him, maybe in a year or two, he will come back with a champion in the exam, and then he will give the old lady a new order."

Jia Mu laughed happily, pointed to Baoyu and said, "This is a good way. I'll ask someone to tie you up later, and see if you still go out."

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere in the room returned to warmth.

Sitting beside Jiamu, Xiyan watched with satisfaction. No matter how turbulent it was in the dark, as long as the surface remained calm, as long as Jiamu was still above everyone else, no one would dare to think about these girls, including her. of.

After measuring the size, Xiyan, Daiyu and Xiangyun went back together, Xiangyun ran ahead, Daiyu and Xiyan walked together, "How is your business? I see you are always worried these days, I ask you, you And refused to say."

Xiyan sighed, "This matter is different from the past. It's so big that I didn't even dare to disclose it to Madam Zhuang. Sister, if you find out, you may be in danger in the future. If that's the case, how about I won't tell you."

"Girls in our boudoir, what can be dangerous?"

"Sister Lin, which one of the things I discussed with you in the past few years is a matter in the boudoir?"

Daiyu was silent for a moment, she knew that Xiyan was in the farm shop outside, she didn't understand before, she thought Xiyan was just looking for her to make decisions, but gradually she found that Xiyan was teaching her how to deal with these things.

Although Daiyu didn't know why, she also knew that the other party was doing it for her own good, so she started to learn it seriously.In fact, these are not difficult. Her mother took her by her side to teach some in Yangzhou before, and she has been careful in recent years, so she has to observe the people around her. She has also seen Sister Feng handle it, so it is not easy to take over. Disaster.

"But the Wang family has troubled you again?"

Xiyan shook her head, "That's not true, sister, don't ask, but I don't know what I forgot, these days I always feel like my heart is pounding. My sister helped me think about it, but I forgot something important."

"What's the big deal? Brother Yu's Shuxiu has been handed in. Although the weather is getting cold, Brother Yu is not sick. He has also written a letter to Gusu, and he has read Zhuangzi's account books on your grandmother's side. What happened? I also explained it, and I really can’t think of it.”

Wang Xiyan stopped in her tracks. In the darkness, Daiyu didn't see her expression was wrong, "Sister Lin, have you written to Uncle Lin?"

"I wrote it. According to what you said, I didn't write a letter to my father in half a month. What's wrong? Do you have something to say to my father?"

After getting acquainted with Daiyu back then, Xiyan often persuaded her to write letters back. At first, it was some greetings, and then it was about Daiyu's daily routine, and some of the health regimens that Xiyan copied from medical books were also mixed in. prescription.

Later, Xiyan even asked Daiyu to write some problems Brother Yu encountered in his homework and ask him for advice.

Xiyan felt that if Lin Ruhai cared more about Daiyu, maybe he would live longer. People who cared about Daiyu were always reluctant to leave, and writing letters could vent their emotions. After Lin Ruhai was tired, he could write to Daiyu. Talking about it might make him feel better and his body stronger.

In order to achieve this effect, Xiyan also asked Daiyu to always write about distressing things, such as quarreling with her sisters and her husband not praising her.

Xiyan's explanation is, "You always report the good news but not the bad ones. I'm afraid that uncle will be more sad. Why don't you write a little bit of sadness. Those harmless things will make uncle feel more at ease."
