[Red Mansion] The third master of jade-like stone treasures

When Lin Daiyu went to ask Mrs. Wang for some gossip, Zijuan really went to ask Ping'er secretly. Ping'er was taken aback, shook his head and refused, and said, "I never had such a thought!"

Zijuan pressed Ping'er lightly, and said: "That's all I'm asking, whether you want it or not depends on your heart. If you don't, I will quietly decline it."

Ping'er immediately said: "Then you go back."

But Zijuan said again: "You are living a good life now. If you are blessed in the future, you will be consummated if you give birth to a man and a half woman. It's just a bad word, you are not the grandmother of the main house. The master is free to beat and scold you. In the future, you will be happy." After having a child, I can only call you Auntie, this...you don't think about yourself, you also think about your future children!"

What is the condition of a child born out of concubine?Thinking of Jia Huan and Tanchun, Ping'er hesitated.

Seeing that Ping'er was a little disturbed, Zijuan felt that there was a connection, and hurriedly continued to persuade: "If it is someone else, I will not advise you. But that person's character and ability, we all see it is good, maybe there will be big ones in the future." The future. Everyone knows the basics, and you are not afraid of him doing bad things. You think about it for a few days, and if you really refuse, it will not be too late for me to refuse."

Ping'er lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head.Her current life is safe and smooth enough, so why bother?

It happened that my sister came to Xunping'er to play, and Zijuan didn't hold on to it, and simply said: "You use these flowers first, and I will come back to take them back in a few days."

Ping'er knew what she meant and wanted to ask her again in a few days.It's not good to talk nonsense in front of the child, so Ping'er nodded in agreement.

When Zicuckoo went back, she said to Lin Daiyu, "I'm not sure if she will, but it's interesting just by her expression."

Lin Daiyu only said: "Just look at her own heart, there is no reason why a cow will force its head against its head without drinking water."

Zijuan commented: "I think she will agree in the end. In the past when we were gossiping together, she thought about marrying out to be a decent woman, but Second Mistress Lian was so powerful that she refused to let her go! Now that she has the opportunity, she will definitely Still willing to go out."

Speaking of Wang Xifeng, one had to think of the past, Lin Daiyu had a sad look on her face, Zijuan felt that she had slipped her tongue, and quickly slapped herself on the mouth, cursing: "It's all my fault for talking nonsense, grandma, don't take it to heart."

Lin Daiyu shook her head, and said softly: "The past is over, and the dead rest in peace. Don't grind your teeth with the past."

Zijuan nodded again and again: "I remember!"

According to what Zijuan said, although Ping'er refused, she still had some thoughts in her heart.

She is not stupid, she can see what kind of life she can live in Jia's house at a glance.

Jia Lian used to be normal to her. Now that she has Second Sister You, she is gentle and beautiful. In the future, there will be this flower and that grass. She doesn't know where she will be ranked.Even if Jia Lian thinks of her, there is Wang Xifeng's shadow between them, can Jia Lian see her well?

Ping'er knew that by Jia Lian's side, he could only be an unfavored concubine for the rest of his life.If you have children in the future, you may be angry with other children...

After much deliberation, Ping'er couldn't sleep more and more, and the gods and ghosts got up and turned over the cage.It was only at the end that she remembered that her original cage had been confiscated when the Duke's house was raided.The gadgets that Chen Ping gave her in the past were put in the bottom of the box by her, and naturally they disappeared.

Sighing, Ping'er went back to sleep, and really got dark circles under his eyes the next day.

Sister Qiao took the red string and a small mirror and asked Ping'er to help her braid her hair.Ping'er coaxed her to sit down, and said along the way: "My sister is old enough to learn how to braid her hair. If I'm not by your side, what will you do?"

After finishing speaking, sister Qiao didn't understand, Ping'er was stunned.But I heard Sister Qiao muttering and asking: "Why is Auntie not here? Where is Auntie going to play? I want to go too!"

While combing her hair, Ping'er looked at Qiao'er in the small mirror, and said with a smile: "When spring starts tomorrow, go to your second aunt's and play with kites."

Sister Qiao said obediently: "Kite making is fun, I like kite flying the most!"

The little girl was thin and small, and she didn't seem to wriggle around while sitting on the small stool.She had been sickly since she was a child and had a quiet temper. After Wang Xifeng passed away, she was even less talkative.She was originally a rich lady, but now she is as cowardly and fearful as a girl from a small family.

Such a temper, can you not be bullied?

Thinking of this, Ping'er became a little anxious, and opened her mouth to tell Qiao'er, saying: "If there are maids and women who bully you, you must definitely say it, tell your grandma, tell your second aunt, let them make decisions for you!"

Sister Qiao asked strangely: "With my aunt here, who would bully me?" After a pause, she said again: "Who bullied my aunt? Who bullied you, I will tell the second grandma to go and ask the second grandma to beat them. "

The second grandma that Sister Qiao mentioned was Mrs. Wang.The relationship between Jia's family is very chaotic with Sister Qiao.

In the past, Wang Xifeng was close to Mrs. Wang, so Sister Qiao is also more familiar with Mrs. Wang.But Mrs. Wang is only her grandma after all, and now Baochai is the housekeeper. If Baochai wants to take care of Sister Qiao's affairs, she has to be separated from Second Sister You and Mrs. Xing... It's a mess, and it's impossible. I don't know what will happen to this child in the future?

But no matter how bad it is, she is still a daughter, and when she grows up, she is only a dowry. How many elders can still treat her badly?

Ping'er was very complicated in her heart, sighed, smiled again, continued to comb Qiao's hair, and said: "No one bullies me, I just want to tell you one more thing, you will encounter difficulties in the future, if someone bullies you, just tell me Your mother, your two grandmas, and your second aunt and third aunt..."

Sister Qiao counted with her fingers, and said in a childish voice, "There are so many people?"

Ping'er nodded and said: "Yes, you are everyone's little treasure, no one can bully you, everyone should love you!"

When Sister Qiao heard this, she laughed so hard that she fell into Ping'er's arms.

After waiting for a few days, Zijuan asked Ping'er again, and Ping'er hesitated and said, "Even if I, I have an idea, this matter is still difficult! The second master Lian is hard to talk about, and the eldest wife doesn't care about her own business. I won't make decisions for the second master."

Zijuan comforted her and said: "You just say what you want, other things are naturally up to you. If he dares to say this, he must be able to take care of your affairs, otherwise why would he marry you?"

Ping'er blushed immediately, smiled, nodded lightly, and said: "If I can really go out, I, I am willing!"

When I first started thinking about it, I was still in the fog, but now that I really said it, my heart beat like a drum, and I was so nervous.But she couldn't see it herself, the nun's stagnant water in her eyes seemed to be alive, making her look as beautiful as a little girl.

Zijuan looked happy, and hurriedly said: "I'll go back and say, the third master and grandma can help, and this will definitely happen!" Ping'er hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Zijuan nodded repeatedly, "I know, you just pretend you don't know anything and just wait for the news.

Ping'er agreed, and Bao Cong finally had the confidence to urge Lin Daiyu again, saying: "This time, you can't hide it anymore, tell me your idea."

After the happy event, Lin Daiyu finally let go and said: "You all remember that Ping'er is from Lian's second brother and the aunt of Jia's family, but you see that she was originally from the Wang family, and her parents and brothers also They were all brought from the Wang family. Now they have gone back to the Wang family. If her parents came to redeem her with money, the second brother Lian might let her go because of the Wang family's face."

Bao Cong thumped his palms and said happily, "That's fine, I'll send someone to the Wang family and tell Ping'er's parents to redeem him. Then write to Lian's second brother and say something good about the Wang family!"

Lin Daiyu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Why go to Wang's house? Go to mother's place and beg to be closer."

Although Mrs. Wang is far away from the Wang family, her surname is still Wang after all, so why bypass her?When Baocong thought about it, it was true. Just as he was about to go to Mrs. Wang again, Lin Daiyu held him back and said, "Don't be in a hurry, it won't do you any good to ask for it now."

Bao Cong was surprised, and said, "How did you say that?"

Lin Daiyu said: "if you ask for nothing for no reason, isn't it that Ping'er is more thoughtful? I see, when Lian's second brother is in a difficult situation, he says he will take Ping'er's redemption money for him, and he will get a few favors. If not, not only will you run away in anger, but you and my mother may even hate you."

After hearing this, Bao Cong sat back on the chair in a daze, and said, "It's like this. It's for no reason, but it makes people feel strange. It's only when people are in trouble that people feel their sincerity."

Lin Daiyu said something again, Bao Cong just nodded in a daze, as if wandering elsewhere.She pushed Baocong and asked, "What are you thinking about? You're so lost in thought."

Bao Cong came back to his senses, but his eyes were a little blank, and he said, "I suddenly remembered something."

Lin Daiyu asked curiously: "What's the matter again? It makes you worry so much?"

Bao Cong thought for a while and said slowly: "I just thought that Chen Ping wanted to marry Ping'er. This is not something ordinary people do. But we are even more absurd."

Lin Daiyu was even more surprised, "How ridiculous?"

Bao Cong said: "Chen Ping wants to marry a concubine, but we have racked our brains here for a concubine, thinking of fulfilling their concerns and not offending Jia Lian. But Jia Lian , and who is it?"

"The more you talk, the more confused you become." Lin Daiyu looked puzzled: "Second Brother Lian is naturally your elder brother."

Bao Cong sighed, and said: "It's my elder brother, but he is also a sinner exiled now. It's ridiculous that we want to think about his mood and face for a sinner, and care about this and that. If an ordinary sinner Why should you have such concerns? Just take Ping'er's body deed and let her go."

Hearing this, Lin Daiyu understood a little.The so-called great clans are like centipedes, dead but not stiff.

But a son of a family like Jia Lian has become an exile. There is also an aunt, Mrs. Wang, and two cousins, Baocong and Baoyu, who run around for him and live a much more comfortable life than ordinary criminals.

If a family like the Jia's hadn't been wiped out all of a sudden, and no one was left behind, they would still prosper after a few years of raising them.So the beetle still huddled in it as usual, sucking blood and eating meat, the green wood became rotten wood again, and no one heard the cries of the dead bones of the predecessors.

Both of them were engrossed in their thoughts, but Zicuckoo looked at it dazedly and couldn't understand what it meant.

After a long time, Lin Daiyu lightly supported Bao Cong's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Which big tree doesn't have two worms? It can't be because there are worms that the tree won't grow anymore, right?"

Bao Cong came back to his senses in an instant, held Lin Daiyu's hand instead, and said, "I was wrong, and put the cart before the horse, but I don't know that there is a kind of woodpecker in the world, which is born for insects."
