Sister of the Treasure of the Red Chamber is quitting

Shen Yu took the note from the spies, put on a cloak and rode a horse, and went to Xue's house.He thought to himself, since it was only the first time that Mrs. Mei came to pay a visit, the two families hadn't made up their minds yet, and the things they talked about had to be changed if they wanted to.At the moment, he walked quickly all the way without saying a word, and knocked on the door when he reached the door of Xue's house. The door opened his head and saw that it was an official who had a good relationship with the uncle, and immediately opened the door to invite people in.A young guard at the gate had already rushed to report the news, and Xue Pan had just come back from the yamen. He had just taken off his cloak and had no time to change his clothes. He hurriedly called Xue Biao to come out and thank the guests again.

Xue Biao only thought that his cousin entrusted Master Chaozhong to stand up for his sister, so he welcomed Shen Yu into the flower hall with great gratitude.Mrs. Xue was worried, so she took her eldest daughter to sit behind the screen and listen.I saw Shen Yu handing over the note to Xue Pan, and several of them sat down on the chairs under the window one by one. The two brothers of the Xue family huddled together to read the record carefully, and read it out to Baochai and Mrs. Xue by the way.Regardless of what happened to Mei Hanlin and Mrs. Mei, Xue Pan got to Mei Wenhe's place. After seeing it, Xue Pan was so angry that he picked up the embroidery pier and went out, yelling that he wanted to kill Mei Wenhe. Don't let me marry such a bad family.Xue Biao yelled and jumped, and quickly reached out to stop him, and was waiting to persuade him, but suddenly a female voice behind the screen said angrily: "Stop! Where are you going! Open your mouth and shut up and beat him to death, never thought that it was not someone's opponent ? Call Uncle Xue!"

All the servants in the room fell silent like cicadas, Xue Pan also locked his head and dared not speak out, the girl hadn't made a loud noise with a blushing person for more than ten years, now this voice immediately stunned the place.Mrs. Xue was also taken aback by this, and she didn't react. The big housekeeper ran in from outside in response to the sound. Chai sneered from behind the screen and said: "Send a guy to the Mei family's hometown to check for me. The two children's age, birth mother's appearance, and double reward if they can get their belongings. I will only give you half a month. If you don't come back, you will be killed." You don’t need to come back.” Turning around, he lowered his voice and said to Xue Biao: “Second brother, Sister Qin’s relatives don’t seem to be a good one, maybe the second uncle was fooled by others before he was alive. How can a serious family have a real wife? Did you have a concubine before you entered the door? Or two! Or if you really have one, you don’t need to hide it, and the marriage that has been set for a long time can be broken because of this? I’m afraid it’s taking our Xue family as a Backed up, with the thought of riding a donkey to find a horse, he might harm Sister Qin at any step. If the Mei family came here according to the rules, everything should be explained in the open, even if there is a concubine, there is nothing they can do; this time it is him The Mei family intends to deceive the marriage, and the reason is in our family. There is no need to ask the girl to bite the bullet and marry in the past. It stands to reason that people in the world say that "the way of their father has not been changed for three years", which means filial piety. We have red mouths and white teeth and we can't say goodbye to the marriage that uncle made before his death. It's easy to say it with evidence, but it will hurt some reputation. In my opinion, the reputation is so bad that it will last for the rest of my life. It's not easy to weigh which is more important, but what does Sister Qin think? What do you think? Let's get these things down first, so we can talk about other things."

Xue Biao loves his younger sister, so he shook his head immediately and said: "I don't think this family can do anything. Mei Hanlin can't do much. Mrs. Mei's eyes are open when she sees Qian. This Mei Wenhe is also a confused person, and he can't explain things clearly in the room. In other words, only those who suffer when Qin’s son goes. The father decided that the youngest son of his family was only thinking that the scholar was a man of good manners and would not easily talk to his daughter-in-law before he agreed. It will be broken, anyway, Miss Qin is young, so I will find a better one in a year or two!"

Shen Yu listened quietly to the side for a long time before she put her heart into her stomach. It turned out that the said kiss was the adopted daughter of Xue's family—it was said to be the adopted daughter, but in fact it was a member of Mr. Xue's brother's family. For children and orphans, they are also direct brothers and sisters.He raised his eyes to look at Xue Biao again, thinking to himself that Xue Pan might not have brought him here?How come even the cousins ​​are the only ones who are "different".

At this moment, Xue Pan, who was yelling to go out and "beat Mei Shizi to death", was still cowardly. Ever since Baochai called "stop", he really stood there without moving, not even daring to turn around.It wasn't until Mrs. Xue finally came to her senses and laughed out loud that Xue Pan sat back on the chair with an "oops" and didn't dare to make a sound.Mrs. Xue smiled for a while, and said angrily to her daughter: "There are still guests here, so what are you doing? Fortunately, the brother of the Shen family is also one of his own, otherwise he will not be able to pick up his face when he throws it on the ground." Baochai suddenly thought of going outside. There was also Jin Yiwei, surnamed Shen, who was so angry that he forgot this matter for a moment, blushed immediately and said nothing.

Shen Yu suppressed a smile and coughed softly and added to Baochai, "Big Sister Xue is straightforward in her work, and you don't have to think too much about it. If you need anything, please send someone to send me a letter, as long as it doesn't violate the criminal law or fail the emperor's grace." Yes, I will do it properly with you." Baochai was ashamed and silent, and everyone else praised Shen Yu for his righteousness, but Xue Biao was taken aback when he heard that, but seeing Mrs. Xue and Xue Pan, they had no other color. Then he let go of his hand and stopped thinking about it, and said loudly to Baochai, "I'm going to trouble my elder sister to talk to her about the pros and cons of Sister Qin, so that she won't be deceived by others when she is young. Zhuangzi in the next year All the shops have to pay the bills, so I'll go and sort it out, and then I'll ask my elder sister for details, and I'll go here first." Baochai reluctantly said "yes", Xue Biao arched his hands and went to check the accounts, thinking about going from Fangshi Find something new to please my sister without mentioning it.

Seeing this, Shen Yu also got up and wanted to leave, but she didn't want Xue Pan to entangle her, she insisted on keeping someone for dinner to thank him for his great help.Shen Yu couldn't care less about being polite at the moment, she sat back with her butt about an inch away from the chair, Baochai blushed and shook her hands and walked to the kitchen, yelling no more.Mrs. Xue laughed a few more times and turned her head to say Xue Pan: "I don't blame your sister for being annoyed today, even I was annoyed when I heard it. The Mei family is really breaking ground at the age of Tai Sui, and they don't weigh themselves. Qin My sister's father was also a character when he was alive. He traveled all over the world and saw nothing? I'm afraid he left behind. Let's not talk about this, but when will your problem of going out and beating people when your head gets hot? Will it be corrected? Is it not enough to be worthy of your two long-term followers and two young servants? How about bothering Mr. Wan to follow you all day?"

Xue Pan was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, he hurriedly cupped his hands and hummed "Don't dare anymore", it was the butler who came back to reply and told him to take the opportunity to pull Shen Yu out to avoid it.The housekeeper saluted and stood still to Mrs. Xue, saying: "Madam, according to what the eldest girl just said, the staff has been arranged, and now I can take the road to lead the door to Ganshan Road, and strive to be able to get there before the thirty-year-old." Hurry back. Do you want to go or not?" Mrs. Xue sneered and said, "Go, why not? Then the Mei family has trampled our Xue family's face on the ground. If you don't give him a good idea, you don't know why the four princes and eight princes are here. I have been standing in Beijing for so many years. I went to get the personal evidence and came back, and Guan Ming took the nursing home to call him to make him look good! I thought I was a widow who was unemployed and let others bully me. Give the guy 20 taels of silver Make trouble, tell him that if the matter is done beautifully, I will reward him when he is called back." The chief steward bowed and hurriedly stepped back to handle the matter.

On the other side, Baochai had arranged the kitchen and had nothing to do, and was afraid of bumping into Shen Yu again in the main courtyard, so she simply went back to the courtyard to look for Baoqin to talk.At this time, Mother Su had told her all about the entanglement in the back house, and she also explained what was so powerful about it. Baoqin was wiping tears with red eyes.As soon as Baochai came in, she saw her sitting and wiping her eyes with a handkerchief. She sat down and picked up the rabbit Daiyu had given her earlier, and said along the hair, "Okay, there's nothing to cry about. It's not your fault. The family is a gentle scum and shameless. Not to mention, the family cannot marry only because Mrs. Mei puts interest money outside. This donkey rolling interest can kill a family in a month, because of a little kindness Is it the work of an upright gentleman? Mrs. Mei has been doing this for more than ten years, how could Mei Hanlin not know? It can be seen that there is nothing more than a gang of gangsters and a nest of snakes and rats. It is better to find the clues now than to sink into the mud in the future. Inextricable."

Baoqin twitched twice and said, "I saw that Mei's son was born in such a shape, but his insides are so unbearable. It took me many years to think about it." Baochai rubbed her shoulder twice and said, "What do you think now? What about it? If you want to force the Mei family to sell the concubines in Mei's house, and then give away the two concubines, it's not too difficult, but how to live in the future is uncertain." Bao Bao Qin wiped her eyes, thought for a while, and finally shook her head: "Why is this so? In the early years, I traveled around with my father, and I saw a lot of women. One year, I met a girl from Zhenzhen Country in the West Sea. She is yellow, her eyes are green, her nose is high and her eyes are deep, her words and deeds are not the system of the heavenly dynasty, and the rituals of defense are also different from ours. Some interpreters went up to chat, saying that there are women from small countries overseas who can be the masters and rule the court , and the ministers have no doubts. Thinking of my glorious kingdom, how can it be as small as a tiny place? I don’t hear that "a bird knows the ambition of a big swan", it is nothing more than a man's ear, so he will love each other with his maid, you, me, and me. go."

Hearing what she said, Baochai went to see Mother Su first.Seeing that Madam Su also looked at Baoqin and was full of praise, she felt relieved and said, "Don't worry, sister, I must think of a perfect plan to get you out of the fire pit of Mei's house cleanly." Baoqin dropped a few more golden beans just now. She thanked Baochai, and received her sister's kind and gentle words to comfort her. Immediately, the feeling of injustice in her heart went out of ten, and she counted the days waiting to retire with the Mei family.

The folks who are going to Ganshan Road here will not be able to come back for a while, and the day when Yingchun will leave the pavilion is approaching.Because of the rouge case that Baoyu made last time, Daiyu only handed over the finished embroidered shoes and the needles and chisels she had saved on weekdays to Baochai for makeup, and Lin Ruhai even asked the housekeeper to take them. Some complete sets of pens, inks, papers and inkstones were brought to Xue's family. The father and daughter didn't even go, and they didn't bother to think of excuses.Mrs. Xue tidied things up early in the morning, procrastinating for nearly two hours before leaving.She took Xue Pan Baochai brother and sister together, but left the Baoqin at home and told her to play freely. She only said that she would come back after lunch, and never mentioned anything about Jia's house.

When they arrived at Jia's house, Baochai brought over the needlework she and Daiyu had made.A pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water, a hijab of lotus flowers and a pair of red embroidered shoes of Baizi Qiansun are brilliant and resplendent, and even the lady who combed her hair who came to try her skills in advance looked straight at her eyes and was full of praise.There are other kinds of good craftsmanship, but the female celebrities made by these relatives and girls from Jia's family abruptly packed four boxes of dowry with Yingchun, which made the second girl feel like weeping, holding Baochai and refusing to let go, just to say thank you .Because the wedding period is tight, the third day after the application period is the day of the wedding ceremony.The female relatives went to look at the prepared dowry together. Except for the silver at the bottom of the box, the big house only gave her daughter four boxes of antique decorations and two sets of red gold jewelry, and left four boxes of cloth materials, various scattered hairpins, bracelets, pendants, etc. Waiting for the two boxes, they are all from the private treasury opened by Mrs. Jia, and there is no shop in the field.

Jia's mother made a decision and gathered the make-ups sent by relatives. Except for the needle-cut women's red made by the girls, a box of four-season quilt noodles sent by Xue's family was made, and another box was made of the remaining satin, which was sent by Lin's family. Pens, inks, papers and inkstones are counted as one box, and the others are roughly made up. Two boxes were made up. In the final count, there are barely eighteen sets.In the next noon, when the man brought the betrothal gift, there was actually another courtyard inside. Mrs. Jia insisted that all these be incorporated into the dowry for the Spring Festival. At any rate, there were 36 sets, so it was not too much to prevaricate. shabby.With tears in her eyes, Yingchun knelt down to thank her grandmother's parents, then moved out of the Zhuijin Building and returned to the East Courtyard to be married. The dowry was guarded by Jiamu's maid, Yuanyang.

Xiangyun, a historian at the noon banquet, also came. If he couldn't find Daiyu, he huddled beside Baochai, coquettishly and foolishly refusing to leave, which made Jia Mu and Mrs. Xue laugh non-stop.Today Baoyu was brought by Jia Zheng's side to meet guests in the front yard, but he couldn't get confused here, and he could still eat a meal.

That Xiangyun refused to leave after being attached to Baochai. He just kept asking who had written good poems in the poetry club last time.Knowing that she always liked these things, Baochai shared them with her one by one, occasionally adding a sentence or two from Tanchun, and the girls' table was lively and lively.During the banquet, the servant girls came and went serving tea and pouring water, suddenly a little girl wearing Liu Qing's clothes mistakenly saw that a cup of tea was put on Baochai's body, she was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy without thinking.Baochai never made things difficult for her servants, she just lightly asked her to get up and go to the housekeeper to receive the punishment, so she got up and wanted to go to the clean room to change clothes.Not long after that girl went down, another girl who looked smarter came over and said that she wanted to lead the way with Baochai and change clothes. The elder apologized, and without the maid, he left the table with the girl and walked into the garden.

There are many twists and turns in the Grand View Garden, Baochai pulled Xiangyun and stood still while walking. The black-haired maid in front saw that they were not leaving, so she stood still and wondered, "Why don't you leave, miss?" Baochai ignored her, and took Xiangyun to the side for a turn, and didn't listen to the maid calling behind her, walked a few steps and crossed a rockery, and when she looked up, she was at Zhuijin Tower in Zilingzhou. .Yingchun had already taken Siqi, her personal maid, to go out to be married, leaving only another first-class maid, Xiuju, looking at the room here, and was surprised to see Baochai's half-sleeve brown, so she hurriedly let her in to settle down, and then went inside again. The room looked for the homely clothes that Yingchun didn't take away.Xiangyun was confused, so he pulled Baochai and asked, "Why did Sister Bao come here suddenly?" Baochai said to her, "I think that maid walks in the wrong way. It doesn't look like a child who was transferred and taught. It's not like the girl who bought it from outside, but looking at her eyebrows and eyes, she looks like one of those little actors bought a few years ago when I was preparing for my mother's family visit. I'm afraid she will tease me, so I might as well come to the second girl to find a clean place." It was the last time when Baoyu was reprimanded and went back to attack these maidservants, those few who knew the rules of the city did not dare to stand out, so they took the little actor and came out to take revenge.

Xiangyun frowned and said, "How did she come here? How can she be so courageous?" Baochai laughed and said, "Why don't you dare? At most, I'll make a fool of myself and lose face. I just don't want to show off to a few people." wish." She had long recognized that girl as Fang Guan'er in Baoyu's courtyard, and in her previous life she also accepted Rui Guan'er pointed out by Jia's mother as a maid.It was only later that they and Aunt Zhao got into too much trouble, and they all asked their aunt Mrs. Wang to drive them out of the garden.Later, he didn't want to be restrained by others, so he shaved his hair and followed nun Yuanxin to dizang nunnery to become a monk.These girls who study opera are both pitiful and hateful.Pity him like a floating weed and have no one to rely on, hate him for ignorance of etiquette all day long, blindly fighting bravely and making troubles, and don't want to think about what he will do for a living in the future.Especially Fang Guan'er, who is courageous and wild-tempered, she is not as aggressive as her and dares to cause trouble. Baochai is to her nothing more than a jade bottle is to a mouse. Seeing that the road is getting more and more remote, how can she continue to follow?If he suffered a lot, he might still be able to kill this group of pungent little actors!

In her previous life, she also lived in this garden for several years, and after thinking for a while, she turned directly to the Zhuijin Building, and had to wait for the banquet to distinguish it again.Xiangyun knew that there must be a reason for this, and seeing that Baochai didn't want to talk about it, he didn't press the question anymore. After a while, Xiuju came over with a change of clothes in his arms and waited for Baochai to change, and then helped to pack the changed one and take it to the banquet. It's time to hand it to Baochai's maid to take it back and wash it.Baochai was not in a hurry, after changing her clothes and readjusting her makeup, Xiuju was very winking and helped to carry the package and sent the two girls to the place where the banquet was held.

Because it was winter, Mother Jia chose Lu Xueguang to entertain the guests. When Baochai and Xiangyun sat back hand in hand, Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Where are you two from? I'll ask a group of people to look for them." Baochai frowned. He smiled and replied: "I want my aunt to know that I carried half a cup of tea water on my sleeve. Halfway to the Dicui Pavilion, the wind was blowing cold. I wanted to get closer to the second girl, so I asked her to borrow some clothes." Use it first, and return her two bolts of satin later." Mrs. Wang stopped talking, and discussed with Mrs. Xue about the current fashion fabrics in Beijing.Jia Mu smiled and asked to bring a vegetable to the two girls to taste. Xiangyun stretched out his chopsticks and tasted it without thinking. What about the maid who leads the way? And I want to reward her with something to eat, she is beautiful in color and has clever legs and feet, she really doesn't look like a little girl who serves at the banquet." Mother Jia was stunned for a moment, and looked at the banquet A circle smiled and bowed his head and said: "Perhaps it is lively today, and there is also a feast in the front yard. I am afraid that there are not enough people, so I lent out the girl in the yard. If you like, you can ask any sister to take her with you." That's it." Xiangyun laughed dimpledly and said, "That's good, I have to recognize it carefully." Baochai patted her lightly on the bottom, if it is really leading a little actor back, then it is really To fight famine, I'm afraid Xiangyun will cause trouble for herself.

The author has something to say: I'll take a shower first, and I'll fill in the missing [-] words when I get back.
