Xing Xiuyan's Life in the Red Mansion

Yun Qingran tilted her head and thought for a while, "Is that mahjong really that fun? So, how to do this mahjong, you write it down, or draw it, and I'll find someone to do it. Make it as soon as possible."

Xing Xiuyan was just joking, who knew Yun Qingran took it seriously, Xing Xiuyan blinked, "Are you serious?"

Yun Qingran smiled, "How should I put it, His Majesty is still very holy today, the front of the harem is completely clear, His Majesty trusts the prince very much, the position of the prince is stable, and the harem is not a threat, so the empress is lonely? Isn't she looking for trouble everywhere when she is free? She only has one son, the prince, so she just keeps her eyes on the prince. She finds something for the prince every now and then. You have to worry about the empress. It's a headache!"

Thinking about it, Xing Xiuyan felt a headache for the prince, "Okay, I'll draw it when I get back. Eat quickly, the noodles are cold."

Yun Qingran lowered his head and began to eat big mouthfuls, "This noodles are really delicious."

After Yun Qingran found a craftsman to make the mahjong, he told Zhao Yuan that Zhao Yuan had found a few maids from the empress's palace. Empress Ling didn't understand what it meant at first, so Zhao Yuan said that he thought of a good way to come. Honor her.Empress Ling felt that her son was still very filial to her, and she was very happy.

Xing Xiuyan went to battle in person and taught them for a few days. After everyone and Zhao Yuan became familiar with the rules, Zhao Yuan took a pair of white jade mahjong sent by Yun Qingran and the court ladies back to the palace.Zhao Yuan personally went into battle and taught Empress Ling to play. At first, Empress Ling was not familiar with the rules. After a few rounds of playing, Empress Ling fell in love with this mahjong. She thought Zhao Yuan was in the way, pushed him away, and started playing mahjong herself. .

The selected palace ladies are all the best of the best. Playing mahjong with Queen Ling, they will not intentionally throw water, making Queen Ling feel that the game is too easy, but they will play mahjong at the right time, such as when Queen Ling loses. When it is too miserable, put some water on purpose.So that Queen Ling can continue playing.

Empress Ling's life has become much more fulfilled with mahjong. Every day when the concubines come to pay their respects, she doesn't have the heart to talk nonsense with them, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai. After a few words of meaning, she will let people go back. She still has to play 24 rounds today. .Even the precious grandson didn't care about it anymore, so he simply asked Zhao Yuan to take him back to the East Palace.The game of mahjong also became popular in the harem because of Queen Ling's strong admiration, and then spread from the harem to the outside, becoming popular in the circle of noble ladies.

On this day, Xing Xiuyan was choosing Jia Yingchun's wedding gift when Yun Qingran came and handed her a wooden box.

Xing Xiuyan took it over in a daze, "What is this?" When he opened it, he saw a whole box of banknotes, and was startled, "Why are there so many banknotes? Where did they come from?"

"This is the proceeds from selling mahjong this month, [-] to [-] percent, you deserve it." Yun Qingran said with a smile.

"Mahjong?" Xing Xiuyan thought about it, and quickly pushed the wooden box over, "No, I can't take it. I just drew a picture, and you hired someone to do the rest. I can't ask for so many."

"But without you, this mahjong can't be done. You don't know how popular mahjong is in the capital now. My mother is addicted to playing mahjong. Now I play mahjong with people in the house every day. If it weren't for the doctor's advice, I can't Sitting often is not good for your health, she can't wait to lie on the mahjong table every day! She keeps blaming you, why didn't you get this out earlier! Even Yanran said, I don't know what your brain is thinking, knowing how fun it is matter." Yun Qingran smiled, "You deserve it, keep it!"

Xing Xiuyan was a little flustered, Yun Qingran's words just now made her a little nervous, how did she come up with it, can she say, did she borrow it from others?She smiled, "Hehehe. I remembered it when I saw the old lady of Jia's family playing leaf cards at Jia's house. Last time Miaoyu said to use jade pieces as cards. I wondered if I could make one that can be directly coded on the table without being held by hand, so I thought of this.”

Yun Qingran didn't doubt it either, he had seen others play Leaf Cards a few times, and the rules were similar to mahjong.But mahjong is more comprehensive.He nodded, "Well, are you picking a gift?"

"Well, my aunt's cousin is getting married in three days, and she is now registered in my aunt's name, so naturally she should pay more attention to it." Xing Xiuyan smiled, and then remembered something, "Thank you very much."

Yun Qingran was stunned for a moment, "It's very good, thank you for what?"

Xing Xiuyan smiled embarrassedly, "It's about the dowry. You know, my parents don't know about this, thanks to the people you arranged, otherwise, those good things are bought without money."

Yun Qingran suddenly realized, "This is what you're talking about. It should be. If I wasn't afraid that you and your father-in-law and mother-in-law would feel sorry for you, I would have prepared everything." Fearing that Xing Xiuyan would feel uncomfortable if he continued talking about it in the afternoon, Yun Qingran hurriedly changed the subject, " What about Ling'er?"

"I'm washing horses in the backyard! Didn't His Majesty give Ling'er a pony that was brought as a tribute from the Western Regions? Ling'er likes it like something, and she named it herself. Now, she is washing horses in the backyard with my father!" Xing Xiuyan said with a smile.

Yun Qingran nodded, "I'll go over and have a look. By the way, what's for dinner?"

Xing Xiuyan was stunned, and said after a while: "I cooked mung bean porridge, steamed steamed buns and dumplings, and some pickles. Do you want to eat here too? Where is the eldest princess?"

Yun Qingran smiled, "Mother is accompanied by Yanran. They have something to say, and it's inconvenient for me to be there. Don't worry, no one knows I'm here."

Xing Xiuyan was relieved, after all, no one knew about the fact that the two families had quietly opened up the courtyard wall, and the servants of the two houses were very strict, no more than the Jia family, like a fence, with ventilation everywhere.Therefore, Yun Qingran came over every now and then, and no one said anything.This kind of feeling is quite good. I can get along with each other more before getting married, and I have more confidence in my heart. Even with my parents, I feel more at ease.

Jia Yingchun got married, Xing Xiuyan didn't go there, but Xing Zhong and Xing Liu went to have a wedding, and now they have people around them, so they are not afraid that someone will fool them.

One month later, Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai got married, and the scene was not as lively as when Jia Yingchun got married. One reason was that Jia Baoyu's injury had not yet healed, and the other reason was that Xue's family still lived in Jia's house, and the sedan chair was only from the east gate. After going around the west gate, only relatives and friends of both parties attended the wedding banquet.

Another month later, it will be the day when Xing Xiuyan leaves the pavilion.Needless to say, Mrs. Xing and Jia Lian Wang Xifeng came to Xing's house early, wanting to help, but when they came, they realized that they had no place to intervene, and everything was properly arranged.Taking a closer look, Xing Zhong and Xing Liu's faces were sad, and they didn't care about other things. All the arrangements were made by the housekeeper in the house.

Mrs. Xing was a little displeased, "Really, how can such a big matter be left to a servant to take care of it! There is no gain or loss of status!"

Seeing that her mother-in-law was talking stupid again, Wang Xifeng quickly tugged at her sleeve, seeing that no one else had any ideas, she just said: "Madam, you don't know that the housekeepers and servants of my uncle's house are all sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Say, have you not offended someone?"

Only then did Mrs. Xing stop talking resentfully, "Does the old lady say she is coming?"

Wang Xifeng shook her head, Madam Xing asked again: "Where is the second wife?"

"My aunt has returned to Beijing, and the second wife is returning today." Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

"Hmph!" Mrs. Xing stopped talking, she knew in her heart that Mrs. Wang was just jealous.Jealous of her niece marrying Yongping Houfu.

Wang Xifeng knew what Mrs. Xing meant, and complimented her with a smile: "However, although my uncle and wife are more honest, loving my daughter is the same as loving my wife's second sister. I thought that even if my uncle won the title, the dowry Also... Otherwise, when adding makeup, my wife and I would not think of it together, and made it a lot harder. Who would have thought that the day of the makeup really surprised many people. Full of 120 Li, my cousin's dowry is much better than sister Xue's dowry, you know, the dowry of our Jiabao Second Mistress was only [-] dowry that day. Otherwise, the second wife would not have stopped coming today."

Only then did Mrs. Xing smile happily, "Although the Xing family is not as rich as the Jia family, they have always spent all their wealth on marrying off their daughters. It was the same when I left the cabinet, and it is the same with Xiuyan now."

"This is what it means to love a daughter! It doesn't matter if the Xue family has millions of dollars. When they married their daughter, they only had to carry the dowry. The second wife's thoughts have been lost." Wang Xifeng also thought it was funny.

"In the future, you mustn't be as biased as Mrs. Xue's family. Brother Gui is important, but Sister Tong's dowry should not be too simple. You must know that the dowry and natal family are the foundation for them to live in their in-laws. One is indispensable! You can’t be as careless as Aunt Xue’s.” Mrs. Xing taught her a lesson, “Except for your second sister’s dowry, the rest is for Sister Tong. I mean, but the Xing family is a bit weak after all. My dowry may not be appreciated by Sister Tong. Your Wang family is different. I have to keep those things for me, don't be like that. Just like Second Grandma Bao, be a good-for-nothing boy! They all belong to our brothers and sisters."

Wang Xifeng suppressed a smile, "Yes, yes, don't worry! Madam, I have written it all down. Madam, let's go and accompany sister Xiuyan!"

"Well, hey, what do you think of Lian'er's preparations? I heard that he has been eating and drinking too much recently, so don't be ashamed if he can't recite it." Mrs. Xing suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Don't worry, the daughter-in-law is watching! It's a great blessing to go out with sister Xiuyan on my back, and the second master doesn't dare to lose the chain!" Wang Xifeng held back a smile and continued, for this, this month, Jia Lian was in the house But I practiced on my back a lot, and I was much more cautious than carrying my second sister back then.

The author has something to say: Some relatives are really funny. My aunt’s cousin met the girlfriend I was talking about online for the first time. The other party mortgaged an old computer to him and asked him to borrow 4 yuan. My cousin graduated from university and has never had a formal job. He used to work in real estate and only had 4000 yuan. He asked my brother to borrow money without explaining the reason. My brother only had a few hundred yuan with him at the time, so he didn’t borrow it.As a result, the cousin of my uncle's family said some harsh words there, saying that the cousins ​​did not even lend [-] yuan to each other.My dad was there at the time, so I asked him directly, why didn't you borrow it!Cousin also said that when he becomes an official, he will support all his brothers and sisters, and promise to do better than Qi Tongwei!
