Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

"What do you mean?" Bowling Hou was shocked and asked hastily.

Mrs. Shi recounted what happened in the Nan'an Palace bitterly, and said: "I saw her making a commotion, and I was afraid that she might have something to do, so I rushed to check it out. Just in time, she said this sentence to Mr. Yi'an Tell it again. I haven't had time to ask her what happened before!"

Baolinghou turned to Shi Xiangyun when he heard the words, his face was as frosty, and he said in a deep voice: "Xiangyun, tell me the truth, and you must never hide a word!"

At this time, Shi Xiangyun didn't dare to talk back anymore, and obediently told the situation at that time, crying: "It was Sister Shi who said it, but Xiao Dan looks like a person, but I can't remember it. It's not malicious. It's just that Lin Yi'an has a lot of heart and grabs the relentless! I never imagined that she would be so mean and mean that she would say that her maid has the same name as me, and call her around in public! This is obviously an insult to her. Niece, and historian, uncle, you have to make the decision for me!"

Mrs. Shi sneered at the side: "It's really a villain who sued first! A quick talk? Why didn't Ms. Shi say it herself? She was rejected by the Lin family, and she was unhappy, so she coaxed you, an idiot, to come forward! You have no malicious intentions, no Do you know that it's insulting to compare someone from his hometown to an actor? Then his maid is called Xiangyun, so it doesn't bother you!"

"But I didn't mean it. I just spoke up. Lin Yi'an did it on purpose! Auntie, why are you talking on her side? I know that Auntie doesn't like me all the time, but we are also a family after all. I was bullied. How can historians have any face!" Shi Xiangyun argued for himself, pointing to Mrs. Shi secretly, both inside and outside the words.

"Hehe, you finally spoke your truth today!" Mrs. Shi laughed angrily: "It's not that I don't like you, it's because you secretly hate us all the time! Do you think that the reason why we were awarded the title is because Taking advantage of your dead father, doves occupying the magpie's nest! If your father is still alive, you will be the daughter of the Marquis, the serious young master of the Marquis Baoling's mansion. You won't live under the fence like you are now, and live an unhappy life."

"But don't even think about it. Although your father was the eldest son, he passed away after all. The court can also take back the title. The reason why your uncle was allowed to be the title is because the Supreme Emperor appreciates your uncle and credits historians. , it’s the extra kindness! We want to be grateful, and we should only receive the grace of the Supreme Emperor. If you want to blame, you can only blame your parents for their bad luck, and I’m afraid it’s the fate of my father and my mother!”

"You think we treat you badly, we control you so tightly that you can't live freely. You're also made to sew all day, and you're not as carefree as the girl from the Jia family. You've already harbored resentment in your heart, Isn't it? You often think about running to Jia's house, which time you go is not happy, do you think I don't know what you said at Jia's house?"

Mrs. Shi pointed to Shi Xiangyun and said: "It is said that in order to save money, our family does not use maids for needlework, and all the women in the family do it. Let her do needlework until midnight. The girls and maids of Jia's family all pitied her for having no father and mother, so they had to let her go Uncles and aunts treat me poorly!"

The more Mrs. Shi thought about it, the angrier she became: "Don't even think about it. I specially hired someone to teach women's reds for your sisters. Can the money you spend make up for the little needlework you do? I also think about you , in order to gain a reputation for being virtuous and capable. You have done some sewing, don’t tell me, your cousins ​​and I didn’t do it? Besides, are all your sewing done by historians?”

Mrs. Shi said emphatically, she patted the table heavily, called the nanny in charge, and ordered: "Send someone to Xiangyun's room, copy all her sewing books, and show the master to have a look!"

Shi Xiangyun was shocked, and hurried forward to argue, trying to stop the nanny in charge.

Bao Linghou said in a deep voice: "Follow Madam's orders, go quickly!"

The servants didn't dare to be negligent, and ignored Shi Xiangyun any more. After a while, they replied with the things they found.

Mrs. Shi picked and inspected the things she had copied out, and when she saw a few things, she was furious, and showed them to Hou Baoling: "Master Hou, look, these purses and this pair of shoes are obviously for men. Do it. It's not my sewing for her!"

When Bao Linghou saw it, his expression changed immediately, and he shouted at Shi Xiangyun: "Who is this for, tell me!"

Shi Xiangyun panicked at this moment, shivering and said, "The Xiren entrusted me to do this for Brother Baoyu."

"Who is Xiren? You do needlework for Jia Baoyu? Although you are related, don't you know that men and women should avoid suspicion?" Hou Baoling was furious.

"Assailant? She is Jia Baoyu's personal servant girl, and I'm afraid she is also a housemaid now." Mrs. Shi sneered, "This is what she makes you do in the middle of the night? What are you Jia Baoyu's?" People, why do you do needlework for him?"

She looked at Shi Xiangyun and sneered: "At the banquet today, Madam Gao asked you to compare Lin Xiangjun to an actor. Don't you know the superiority and inferiority of the upper and lower? In my opinion, you have been wronged. If you know the superiority and inferiority of the upper and lower I won’t let a servant do the work around me, and I’ll lose face to Miss Hou Fu!”

"Also, what kind of book is this, "Hui Zhen Ji"?" Mrs. Shi was startled, and together with Bao Linghou, she lowered her face and scolded angrily: "Where did this book come from, tell me quickly!"

"Yes, Brother Baoyu lent it to me." Shi Xiangyun cried.

Bao Linghou was in a hurry. After Jia Baoyu read such a book, people would only say that the young man is romantic.But if the news spread that a young lady in Xiangyun read this book, that would be an obscene path.Historians will be questioned about their tutors, and their reputation will be ruined.

"Come here, lock Xiangyun in the room, and copy women's rules and Buddhist scriptures every day, so as to purify your heart and cultivate your character!" Baolinghou ordered, turning a deaf ear to Shi Xiangyun's cries.The steward ordered someone to take Xiangyun and her personal maid Cuilu down, lock her in the courtyard where she lives, seal the courtyard door, and forbid the master and servants to go out.

Bao Linghou smiled bitterly and said to Mrs. Shi: "Madam, I never thought that Xiangyun would become like this. We didn't teach her well!"

"I'm just an aunt, not her mother!" Mrs. Shi replied angrily with a sullen face, "When I was a little harsh, she complained all over the world, and everyone said we were harsh on her! My reputation was ruined! She She often lives in Jia's house and is protected by Mrs. Jia, so it's not my turn to discipline her! You might as well tell your aunt what Master said!"

"Ma'am," Bao Linghou sighed, "now is not the time to complain. We have to go to the White House to make an apology. The father and son of the Lin family are in the heart of the emperor and have a bright future. It cannot be because of Xiangyun's fault. Forge an enmity with it. Besides, "

He smiled wryly and said, "I have to discuss with them about the name of the maid, and ask them to agree to change it. Otherwise, at the gathering of the nobles in the capital in the future, the maid will be called 'Xiangyun' and 'Xiangyun' by Mr. Lin Xiang." Alas, not only is Xiangyun unable to meet people, but the historians have lost all face! Among them, the reputation of our two daughters has also been ruined!"

"That's right!" Mrs. Shi thought of this verse after getting angry, and became flustered: "I'm going to Whitebury's Mansion with a big gift tomorrow,"

She said with difficulty: "Apologize! Madam Lin and Mr. Lin Xiang please forgive me! I don't know if the Lin family father and son are willing to let it go? Now, even the Nan'an Palace is unwilling to offend the Lin family!"

Bao Linghou sighed and said: "This has to be done! Ma'am, prepare a generous gift, and be sincere in your attitude. Tell us the truth about our difficulties and the actual situation, and ask them to understand our difficulty. They are also people who love their children. Besides, historians have never had any grudges against them, so why make things difficult for us!"

Mrs. Shi also heard about the origin of the Lin family, she nodded silently, feeling a little relieved.I am also secretly glad that they are not the Jia family!

She suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Master, Lin Xiangjun is not the only person Xiangyun offended today!"

"Who else?" Bowling Hou asked with a headache.

"Jia Min and Lin Ruhai's daughter, Lin Daiyu, is the granddaughter of your aunt!" Mrs. Shi recounted the situation at that time in detail, and snorted coldly: "That girl in Xiangyun is bullying and afraid of the hard. Mrs. Gao and Nanny Gao kept asking questions, so they pulled Lin Daiyu to resist, saying that the actress-like Miss Lin she was talking about was referring to Lin Daiyu. However, she is not stupid, and the appearance and dress of the actor are not at all similar to Lin Daiyu. Like, seven or eight points like Mr. Lin Xiang, still can't hide it!"

"But if you do this, you will offend Lin Daiyu a lot. I think she almost fainted from anger. She has suffered such a big grievance, how should I deal with this matter?" Mrs. Shi sighed.

"I can't take care of it now!" Baolinghou waved his hand: "It's more important in Huaidebo's house, let's talk about Lin Daiyu's place later! At that time, let Xiangyun make amends for her, and just send some gifts over there. The reason why she is a junior to make amends. Besides, at that time, didn't she, the second grandmother Lian of Jia's mansion, also take the initiative to help Xiangyun cover up? Speaking of which, what she did was similar to that of Xiangyun? They were all related to each other. No one in Lin Daiyu puts aside the Jia family and only cares about the truth of our historians!"

"That's right!" Mrs. Shi echoed.In her heart, she understood why Hou Baoling dared to neglect her.However, she shook her head in her heart, since her husband has such an attitude, of course she doesn't want to ask for trouble and apologize by pulling her face down.Is she shameless?

Thinking of the delicate and delicate woman who was affected by innocence, Mrs. Shi sighed silently.Alas, it's a pity that her parents died early. Isn't it true that a helpless orphan girl has no one to protect her?

Compared with Lin Yi'an, who was in high spirits and calm and fearless, Mrs. Shi felt even more sorry for Lin Daiyu.The evil caused by her parents, now, the evil consequences are all borne by her daughter.If Jia Minquan knows, whether he can live in peace, will he regret what he did that day?
