Zhen Lian of the Red Chamber

The day before the full moon wine, Li Laosan called Zhen Lian to him, stared straight at Zhen Lian until Zhen Lian was stared away by him, and then said slowly: "I have watched you coldly for so long, see you You go about your day-to-day thinking that you too are a smart kid. Know what you can do and what you can't, whether you remember it or not, now you are our granddaughter!"

He raised his hand and patted Zhen Lian on the head, led Zhen Lian to the side of the well, removed the wooden board covering the well, grabbed the back collar of Zhen Lian's clothes, and put Zhen Lian into the well.

Zhen Lian was frightened out of her wits, struggling indiscriminately, grasping the mouth of the well with both hands desperately.Although he knew that he would not throw himself down, he was still terrified.He was afraid of the well at first, but he only held on to his clothes. If the clothes were torn, he would fall down. Looking at the deep and secluded well, a chill came out from the bottom of his heart, freezing Zhen Lian. He shuddered violently.

Li Laosan's hands trembled, and seeing Zhen Lian's pale face and panicked look, he smiled with satisfaction and lifted Zhen Lian from the mouth of the well, hanging on the well.

Staring at Zhen Lian's eyes, she said viciously: "Remember not to talk nonsense outside, if you are disobedient, your life will be so easy! At least your legs will be broken, and if you are disobedient, you will be thrown into the well !” Holding Zhen Lian in his hand, he put it down again.

Zhen Lian was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out!Hastily begged for mercy loudly: "Got it! Got it! It won't happen!"

Only then did Li Laosan put Zhen Lian down in satisfaction, clapped his hands and turned around to go back to the house.

Zhen Lian fell to the ground and sat on the ground gasping for breath.I was still so shocked that it took me a long time to calm down!

Zhen Lian originally grew up in a happy family.Although they are in the countryside, the conditions of every household there are good, and they have never suffered from hardship since childhood.Although in the end I got a disease without medicine, I died!But he lived happily until his death with the company of his family and friends.

Although he was abducted after traveling here, it is already a blessing from God to be able to live again.As long as I can live, I don't care much about the others!In addition, I did not suffer any major injuries, nor did I experience any threats.Now being teased by Li Laosan like this, Zhen Lian's heart is almost sick from fright!

When going to bed at night, Zhen Lian tossed and turned for a long time without falling asleep, thinking about her family in her previous life.Fortunately, I still have an elder brother who can accompany my parents. I only hope that my parents can be healthy and enjoy their old age!

It would be great if my parents knew that I was still living in another world. Although they couldn't meet each other, they should be relieved knowing that they were alive!Thinking about it, tears flowed down uncontrollably!

Let the tears flow, let it wash away your sorrow!When she felt relieved, Zhen Lian wiped her tears with her hands, sniffed her nose, turned the pillow over and fell asleep on the dry side!

When Zhen Lian woke up the next day, her eyes were astringent and her eyelids were heavy.Touch it with your hands, Lao Gao's eyelids are swollen like steamed buns!Zhen Lian was taken aback, and she became so swollen after crying for a while.I used to cry when I watched TV dramas and novels, but I never saw my eyes swollen.

This delicate young lady's body!Zhen Lian sighed.

Soaked a towel in cold water and applied a stick of incense before the swelling subsided.

Wash up and go out to start the day's housework.When it's done, Li Laosan and his wife have packed up.

Mrs. Li called Zhen Lian over, pointed to the clothes on the table and said, "It's too shabby to wear when you go out, here's a new set of clothes, you can use them to change into!"

Zhen Lian responded, walked over to pick it up and carried it back to the room to change.Previously, Zhen Lian was wearing two sets of clothes that Li Laosan bought casually, and the fabrics were of poor workmanship.As for the original clothes?It was burned by Li Laosan long ago, and nothing was left behind!

This is a peach-colored skirt, the material is okay, and the workmanship is okay. Zhen Lian has seen it in the hands of Mrs. Li.It seems that Mrs. Li did it herself.Zhen Lian changed quickly, combed her hair again, and then went out.

Mrs. Li came over and nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, a little dressing up will make you extraordinary!" She took Zhen Lian's hand and motioned to Li Laosan to look at it, and Li Laosan nodded and said yes.

After sitting for a while, seeing that the time was up, she got up and picked up the gift on the table and said, "It's time to go." Looking at Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li followed Zhen Lian's hand and went out together.

After going out the gate, Li Laosan locked the door.

Turning around and walking to the door of Ma's house, the door of Ma's house was wide open, and Ma Xiangyun, the son of Mrs. Ma, was welcoming guests at the door.

Seeing Zhen Lian and the others, he hurriedly and enthusiastically welcomed them into the courtyard, Li Laosan handed him the gift, and said congratulations and other words.

Ma Xiangyun took them with both hands, thanked them, and welcomed them into the yard, where they were handed over to Ma Donglin, the husband of Mrs. Ma, who was waiting for guests in the yard.He went to the door again.

Ma Donglin invited them to sit in the house, served tea and melon seeds for them to eat, chatted for a while, and Ma Xiangyun welcomed other guests in.Ma Donglin apologized to Li Laosan and his wife, asked them to sit and drink tea, and then got up to greet the guests.

Zhen Lian and the others came earlier, there were not many guests, they sat and chatted in twos and threes.Li Laosan and his wife didn't know each other, so they just drank tea and listened to others.

Over there, Mrs. Ma came over after finishing the work at hand. Seeing Zhen Lian and the others coming, she hurried over to say hello, and then said hello to the others.

Seeing Zhen Lian sitting there, she smiled and said to Zhen Lian: "There is also a girl in my family, she is my granddaughter. She is two years older than you, and I asked her to come and play with you!" Turning around and going into the back room .

After a while, Mrs. Ma brought a girl in red to Zhen Lian, and said to the girl, "This is your younger sister from the Li family, you can stay here with her!"

The girl responded with a crisp voice, "Hey!"Come over and sit on the stool next to Zhen Lian, look at Zhen Lian with big eyes, smile and say: "My name is Lan Er, what's your name?"

Zhen Lian thought for a while, before Mrs. Li told Mrs. Ma that her name was Lian'er, so she replied, "My name is Lian'er."

"I'm six years old this year, how old are you!"

"Four years old."

"I'm two years older than you, so how about I call you younger sister?" Ma Laner asked again, holding Zhen Lian's hand.

"Yes, yes!" Zhen Lian agreed

Ma Lan'er took Zhen Lian's hand, stared at her face and asked doubtfully, "Sister Lian, what is that on your face?"

Um?Zhen Lian was puzzled, touched her face, but found nothing, and asked Ma Lan'er, "Where, what's on my face?"

Ma Lan'er took Zhen Lian's hand and touched her forehead, stopped between her brows, and said with a smile, "Here! Touch it!"

Only then did Zhen Lian realize that she was referring to the rouge mole, she also touched it, pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "This is a mole, I was born with it! I thought there was something dirty on my face, it scared me Jump!"

Ma Lan'er also stretched out her hand and touched it with her finger. It was indeed growing on her face, and said, "I thought it was painted on. This one is red, so pretty!"

Zhen Lian pointed to a spot on Ma Lan'er's face and said, "You also have a mole here on your face, but it's small.

It's not easy to see! "

Ma Lan'er touched it too, and said, "This one is different, it's not as good-looking as yours!"

Zhen Lian didn't find it funny when she heard that, this Ma Lan'er was quite easy to get along with, and she was also very warm and lovely.With fair skin and big eyes, she must be a beauty when she grows up.

"May I take you to see my brother?" Ma Laner asked enthusiastically.

Zhen Lian glanced at Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Just play here! Your brother is still young, take us to see him when he grows up, and then you can still play together!"

Ma Lan'er thought about it, her younger brother is sleeping every day, it's really not fun, so she nodded and said, "Then when he grows up, I'll bring him to play with you!"

Zhen Lian agreed.

Ma Lan'er was bored sitting here, but she couldn't leave because her grandmother asked her to accompany the guests.Turning his eyes, he said again: "Then I will accompany my sister to my house to have a look around!"

Zhen Lian also wanted to take a look, so she looked at Mrs. Li again.

Mrs. Li had no choice but to say: "There are many people outside, and your little sister Lian is naughty, so I'd better stay here and watch over you, don't go out and cause trouble later!"

Ma Laner lowered her head in disappointment.

Zhen Lian knew that they couldn't let herself out of their sight, so she wasn't too disappointed.Seeing Ma Laner like this, I had no choice but to find something to talk to her and divert my attention.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Ma Lan'er to be happy again.It really is "the face of a child, the day of June!"

Gradually, there were more guests, and the room suddenly became crowded.Some of the guests came with children.Those children knew Ma Lan'er well, so they ran over when they came in.Ma Laner talked to them and introduced Zhen Lian to them.

There are five children in total, three boys and two girls, all around five or six years old.

Two of them are cousins ​​from the Li family opposite the Li family. The older one, Li Tang, belongs to the elders of the Li family, and the younger one, Li Xin, belongs to the third family.The other boy is Ma Laner's uncle's cousin named Qin Lei.The two girls are also relatives of the Ma family, the taller one is a cousin of Aunt Ma Laner's family, and the younger one is a cousin of Aunt Ma Laner's family.

After Zhen Lian chatted with them for a while, it was time to start the banquet. Ma Donglin and Ma Xiangyun came over to invite the guests to the table.Today's weather is fine and the sun is shining brightly, so the banquet is placed in the courtyard outside. The courtyard is relatively large, with dozens of tables set up.

Zhen Lian separated from them, and after Li Laosan and his wife also got up and went out, Li Laosan and his wife picked up a table that was temporarily unoccupied and sat down, and the table was full after a while.

After the guests are seated, the dishes are served one by one.The dishes are very rich, with a total of twelve dishes, six cold and eight hot.Boiled, fried, fried, stewed, and fish are all available.

The Ma family entertained again, and everyone moved their chopsticks.Zhen Lian ate very happily, since she came here, she has never had a good meal. Mrs. Li's cooking tastes average, it's not difficult to eat, but the taste is really not good.After eating, everyone said goodbye and left.

Zhen Lian and the others wanted to go back when they were done, and Mrs. Ma wanted to keep them. Mrs. Li said that there were still things to do at home, so Mrs. Ma didn't force them to stay and sent them out.Seeing them enter Li's house, they went back.
