Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

A small clear river meanders through a huge mansion.In a hexagonal wooden pavilion built by the river, a thin and pale boy was lying motionless on the railing of the pavilion, staring at the sparkling river in front of him in a trance.His eyes were full of confusion and disbelief, and when he looked carefully, there was still a trace of helplessness.

"Brother Cong, Brother Cong!" Following the call, a middle-aged woman walked quickly from a distance.The woman was dressed as a servant girl in green clothes, but the clothes were also made of silk, with a golden hairpin on her head, two small beaded flowers on her temples, and a shiny jade bracelet on her wrist, Looks decent too.She walked in a hurry, and thin beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Brother Cong, you are here. Mammy is looking for you everywhere. You are just sick, so you can't blow the wind! I don't know if the railing is strong or not. If you accidentally fall into the river, it will be a big deal!" Then When the woman saw the boy, she hurried forward and said in a whisper.

"Nurse Su, don't worry, I'm just sitting here for a while to get some air. Staying in the room all the time, I'm bored!" The boy frowned.

"Oh!" Seeing the boy's appearance, Su Momo seemed rather unhappy, and sighed in her heart.Brother Cong's illness was severe. He had a high fever that day, and he passed out that night, and it took a whole day and night to wake up.When I woke up, I was a little confused at first, and I leaned against the bed blankly, and I couldn't recognize anyone.She is Brother Cong's nanny, and she has taken Brother Cong with her since she was a child, so her relationship is naturally much closer than others.Seeing Brother Cong's appearance, she was so sad that she burst into tears on the spot.

The servant girl who was serving hurriedly explained to Brother Cong in detail. It is not good to be so confused. If the master blames it, everyone will be in trouble!After Brother Cong recalled it under their introduction, his face turned pale, he lay down disconsolately, and drove them away, saying that he wanted to rest and recuperate, and he didn't even talk much.In the past few days, when the doctor came to see him, Dao no longer had a fever, and he will recover after a few more days of rest.Brother Cong listened, and his face did not show any joy, he was not as lively as before.

Madam Su felt pity in her heart.A few days ago, Nanny Su happened to have something to do at home, so she asked for leave to go back, and the maid around her didn't take good care of her. Brother Cong was sweating after playing around, and didn't even think about changing his clothes, so that's it. He caught a cold and developed a high fever.Seeing that brother Cong was seriously ill, the servants immediately panicked, fearing that they might be responsible, so they hurriedly reported it.After hearing this, the master only scolded the serving woman, and ordered someone to invite the imperial physician, and ordered his wife to deal with the rest, and did not come to visit in person.

His wife, Xing Shi, is the daughter of a down-and-out official. It is also a high ranking to be able to marry the Duke's mansion and be the successor to the master of Xijue.She is a stubborn person by nature, she does not act on the stage, and even secretly discusses and disdains her servants behind their backs.Mrs. Xing herself did not give birth to a child, but she only knew how to flatter the master to protect herself on weekdays, and she was very indifferent to the master's children, whether it was the second master Lian, brother Cong, or Miss Yingchun.After being ordered by the master to do this errand, he dared not disobey, just perfunctorily looked at it, and immediately sent someone to bring him back to take care of him, and then let go of it.Then he scolded the servant girls for not serving them well, and took the opportunity to fine them a month's monthly money.Fortunately, she gave orders before leaving, just ask the doctor to prescribe some good medicinal materials, and just go to the office to collect them.Hmph, you can't just let the second room spend!

Alas, Brother Cong is so seriously ill, neither the master nor the wife seem to care.Brother Zong must be sad!After all, he is still a child, how could he not yearn for the love of his parents?

"Brother Cong, the kitchen has delivered dinner, it's still hot, hurry up and go with the mother. The sun is about to set. After a while, there will be a cold wind blowing by the water. You just got better, but You can't stay longer." Su Momo persuaded gently, while coaxing Brother Cong to go back.

Brother Cong was held by Nanny Su without saying a word, and returned to the small courtyard where he lived.The yard is just a small cross yard, not too big, but there are many flowers and trees, some of which are in full bloom, exuding a burst of fragrance, and the shadows of the flowers are sparse, quite elegant.There is an old ginkgo tree planted in the middle of the yard, full of lush leaves, golden in color, covering half of the yard like an open giant umbrella, bright and dazzling, swaying in the evening wind, very charming .

On both sides of the courtyard are several huts where the servants live. Brother Cong lives in the two rooms of the main house, one is a bedroom, the other is a study inside, and the outside is a living room. The layout is reasonable.High bed soft pillows, green gauze curtains, simple and elegant wooden furniture, the whole room is antique.

The maids brought food boxes, quickly arranged the meals, and put down the chopsticks and spoons.Brother Cong looked at the food in front of him, and it was very delicate: because he was recovering from a serious illness, the kitchen brought him a bowl of minced meat porridge, which was mixed with finely sliced ​​ginger, making it smooth and fragrant ; Four side dishes for dinner: steamed duck stuffed with wine, stir-fried magnolia slices, fried green bamboo shoots with ham, and a bowl of tenderly stewed eggs.

"Brother Cong, the doctor said that you have to eat lightly these few days, so you can only deal with it!" Seeing that he didn't move, Su Momo thought that he disliked the bad food, so she comforted him.

Brother Cong picked up the chopsticks and started eating slowly.Su Momo saw that he didn't want other people's food, and only ate quietly by herself, she secretly praised in her heart: You really deserve to be a young master, so young, you can be well-mannered.

After a while, she thought worriedly again, Brother Cong has been eating quietly all the time, and he hasn't joked with us like he used to, probably because he is really depressed?

Actually, Nanny Su doesn't need to worry about 'Brother Cong' at all.Because, 'Brother Cong' was just thinking silently: such exquisite food and accommodation, served by maids and mothers, who would have thought that it was just the treatment of a concubine's son?Moreover, judging from the indifference of his parents when he was seriously ill, he was not a favored son.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, they are not their biological parents, so there is no need to be sad at all.At least, his life seems to be guaranteed materially, which is lucky enough.Suppose you open your eyes and find that you are a poor person struggling in troubled times, that would be a desperate thing!So, what I think about now is how to fight for a bite to eat and live desperately, right?

If, if the original body's father's name was not Jia She, and his aunt's surname was not Xing, and the place he was in now was not the Rongguo Mansion built by imperial edict, and he had not come to the legendary "Dream of Red Mansions", it would probably not be very sad. Let's time travel!
