New Dream of Red Mansions

Today the historian sent someone to pick Xiangyun back. Xiangyun told Baoyu, "Second brother, if you have any fun, remember me, and send someone to pick me up from time to time."

"Sister Yun, don't worry, I will remember."

Xiangyun worriedly said to Daiyu and Xiyan: "Sister Lin, Sister Yan, you should remember to remind the second elder brother."

Seeing the woman who picked her up, Daiyu hurriedly said in a low voice: "Fuck you, we will be cleaner without you, just go back and harm your sisters, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it and send you back voluntarily." .”

Xiangyun knew that Daiyu liked to talk ironically, so he didn't care, and just looked at Xiyan eagerly.

Xiyan nodded and said: "Got it, go back quickly, but it's just a few blocks away, if you miss us, write to us, and Sister Lin and I will also write to you."

After Xiangyun left, the back room became even quieter.

Xiyan has not received any news from outside the customs yet. Although she is impatient, she has no choice but to put all her energy on Brother Yu and Brother Lan's homework.

Since the two of them came back from the Great Compassion Temple last time, the two children have become more calm. Although they can still run and make trouble, they have become much more autonomous, and they no longer have to be pressured to learn as before.Xiyan knew that they had feelings for those bottom-level people.She is very satisfied with this change of theirs.

Lan Geer took a look at Brother Yu who was working hard to solve the problem, and went to find Xiyan with his homework.

Xiyan was removing the stitches with Daiyu and Baoyu, when she saw him coming, she asked with a smile, "But what don't you understand?"

Lan Geer saluted Baoyu respectfully and said "Second Uncle Bao". Seeing that he didn't care, he jumped to Xiyan's side and showed her the homework topic, "Aunt Yan, this is what Mr. The title of the test post poem that Er put out, but Lan Er couldn't make up her mind."

Xiyan took over the homework, and the title was based on Li Qingzhao's "Dory Ode to the White Chrysanthemum", and said: "I didn't use Li Qingzhao's poem as the title for the test post poem. Your husband's title is off the mark, but it's good enough to broaden your horizons." , but I am not good at Song Ci, so I might as well ask you, Aunt Lin."

"Which song is it by Lay Yi An? My sister has read a lot of books, but she doesn't understand it?" Baoyu took it and read it curiously.

Xi Yan laughed and said, "I've never been very good at poetry."

Daiyu snatched it from Baoyu's hand and said angrily, "Sister Yan can't understand, can you? Don't read the poem upside down." Seeing the title above, she frowned, "But what Sister Yan said Not too bad, Mr. You are confused when you come up with questions. This test post poem is the most rigid, but all the questions are based on the imperial examination. Why did he come up with Li Qingzhao's poem? This poem is not difficult, come here, I Let me explain it to you, and then list a few more poems for you to read, as long as you understand these few poems, it is not difficult to write test poems."

Seeing that Daiyu took Lan Geer over there to explain the poem, Baoyu frowned and said to Xiyan: "But I think this topic is very well written. Those men are obviously not as good as women, so they insist on slandering them. Layman Yi An's poems are no worse than others, but because she is a woman, she can't take the imperial examination?"

Xiyan smiled and said: "I don't agree with the first half of the sentence, but I strongly agree with the second half. You stinky men, we are weak, and you have excuses to bully us. We are strong, and you say we don't obey the rules. It can be seen It is because you are afraid that we will beat you by a lot and lose face, so you often slander us girls."

Baoyu clapped his hands and said, "That's not the case. I just don't understand. What's wrong with women being stronger than men?"

Xiyan nodded approvingly, Baoyu's other things are not very good, but this awareness is very good.

Daiyu sent Lan Geer away, turned around and said to Baoyu: "Stop talking nonsense, don't forget that you are also a man, even if you wear a skirt, you don't look like a woman, this scolding will scold you too, then Do you think you are fragrant or stinky?"

Everyone in the room suddenly laughed, and Musk Moon said: "It's still Miss Lin who can cure him. If this word gets out, Madam will just settle the score with us."

After everyone chatted and laughed, Zhou Rui's family brought a box in from outside and said with a smile, "Second Master Bao is here."

"Where did sister Zhou come from here?"

Xiyan and Daiyu also looked at her curiously.

Zhou Rui's family smiled and said: "It's just from my aunt. No, this is a palace flower that my aunt asked to send to the two girls." Zhou Rui's family opened the box and took one for Daiyu, one for Xiyan, and Baoyu. I took one myself, looked up curiously, and saw that there was a red one inside, so I curiously held it in my hand.

Daiyu looked at it curiously, and asked, "Are these flowers only for our sisters, or do other girls have them?"

"The girls have them all. These four belong to Miss Lin and Miss Yan."

"I knew that if others didn't pick the rest, they wouldn't give it to us." Daiyu threw the flowers in the box and turned her head away.

Zhou Rui's family didn't speak a word.

Xiyan also only took a look, and when she glanced at Zhou Rui's house, a cold light flashed in her eyes, she threw the flowers aside, and said nonchalantly, "Sister Zhou thanked my aunt for us." To Daiyu, continue the project at hand.

Baoyu laughed and said, "Why did sister Zhou go to my aunt's side?"

"It's my wife who is a guest over there, and my aunt asked me to bring her here because I went there to answer the phone."

Baoyu saw that neither Daiyu nor Xiyan had any intention of speaking, so he continued to ask: "Sister Bao, what are you doing these days, why don't you come here?"

"Miss Bao is not feeling well."

Baoyu asked Sheyue to go and say hello, and then she said a few words to Zhou Rui's family and then dismissed her. She glanced at Daiyu and Xiyan, sighed helplessly, and got up to leave.

Daiyu couldn't help snorting coldly, "Anyone in this mansion can step on us."

A cold light flashed in Xiyan's eyes, "Now that we are living under the fence, we can bear what we can."

With tears in her eyes, Daiyu said, "I'm fine. No matter how bad I am, I still have a father. It's just that you are getting used to being trampled on. Who will call the shots for you? One or two, the house is getting more and more unruly now, change it." Rija annoyed me, so I sued Sister Feng, and I wanted to smell her face, so she doesn't care about these things?"

Xiyan said in a low voice: "Zhou Rui's family is the wife's companion."

Daiyu's eyes widened, "Madam is your aunt after all, it's not like..."

Xiyan laughed softly: "Good sister, when did you see that my wife regarded me as her own niece?"

Zhou Rui's family left the back room, looked back at the back room with a disdainful smile, turned and left, she didn't know that there were two teenagers standing there quietly behind the rockery, one of them was embarrassed, the other was cold watched her leave.

Brother Yu clenched his fists and snorted coldly.

Brother Lang said in shame: "You made the fifth brother laugh, and the servants in the family are becoming more and more unruly."

Brother Yu waved his hand and said: "What's the big deal, I'm not used to the servants in this mansion suddenly becoming more disciplined."

Lang Geer's face became even more embarrassed, Yu Geer ignored him, turned around and left.Lang Geer hurried forward to coax him.

Brother Yu swore that in the future, he would stand out and never allow others to look down on his sister or bully her!

After thinking about it, he saw Lang Geer, who was fawning on him, sighed, took the apple he handed over, took a bite, and said, "Okay, it's not your fault, there's no need to worry about those servants." Apologize."

"It's just that I am the master after all, and the servants in the family have no rules, so it's our fault." Lang Geer sat next to Yu Geer, propped his chin and said: "It's just that my mother can't control it now, and I can't control it, otherwise I must be able to give you an explanation."

Lang Geer felt very uncomfortable when he thought of his mother kneeling in front of his wife for a long time just to let him go to Dabei Temple.

Brother Yu and Brother Lang are the best, so why don't you know what he's thinking?He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's just study hard, and it will be fine if we get the honor in the exam."

Lange nodded vigorously.

After the winter solstice, only a gift and a homely letter from Yangzhou, Xiyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.It was only the next day that Yangzhou sent an urgent letter. Lin Ruhai was ill and was in a hurry to see Daiyu.

Xiyan's face changed slightly, and she felt something was wrong.

Even though the previous letter was fine, why did the urgent letter arrive after only one night?

Although the people from Yangzhou explained that Lin Ruhai was just suffering from a cold, he didn't care about it, and it wasn't serious, but he gradually fell ill later, so he sent the letter urgently, half a month later than the previous letter, but because It was fast, but arrived only one day late.

Mother Jia was impatient, she put her arms around Daiyu and cried, "My poor child!" Wiping her tears, she said, "Go, call Lian'er back, and let him send his sister Lin to Yangzhou."

Xiyan said: "Old Ancestor, I also want to go to Yangzhou with Sister Lin."

Mother Jia was taken aback, "What did you say?"

Xiyan solemnly said: "Old Ancestor, Sister Lin's health is better, let me be by her side to advise her, and I don't know how long this trip will take, I can also help by the side."

Mother Jia looked at her red and swollen eyes, and looked at her granddaughter eagerly, with some hesitation.

Xiyan continued to persuade: "Brother Yu and I also want to take this opportunity to go back to Gusu, and the ancestors also know that my two grandfathers are old, and they don't want me and Brother Yu. For money, Xiyan wanted to personally invite a few old people to the capital, and let Brother Yu and I do our filial piety."

Wang Xiyan really wanted to settle the matter of Gusu, but because of the decision with the Wang family, she never left the capital.

Obviously, Mother Jia also thought of the agreement with the Wang family.

Xiyan laughed and said, "I'm just going back with Sister Lin to have a look. I still want to come back with Sister Lin. Don't worry, the old ancestors. If you go to Xiyan from your uncle, they will understand Xiyan's filial piety."

Jia Mu nodded, "Then go and bring Brother Yu back, pack up your things quickly, and leave tomorrow, there is no time to delay."
