The alternative life of the clever sister of the Red Chamber

When Xue Baochai saw Aunt Xue coming, her eyes turned red immediately, and she called out, "Mom!" There was unseen grievance and sadness in her words.Aunt Xue's heart was broken when she heard it.She had never seen Baochai like this since Father Xue's death.

"My son, who is mad at you? Tell mom, mom is going to find your aunt!" Aunt Xue said with her arms around Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai buried her head in Aunt Xue's arms, weeping with tears, and said in a muffled voice for a long time, "Mom, don't go. If I don't have my aunt's permission, how can such words enter my ears? Mom, haven't you noticed? Has Auntie's attitude changed since Empress became pregnant? Auntie is trying to change her mind!"

Aunt Xue's eyes were also red, "I don't know what your aunt is thinking, but if I have other choices now, how can I swallow my anger like this! The news of the golden and jade marriage has spread, and if it doesn't come true, then your reputation will also be ruined." It will be destroyed, and our Xue family will become a laughing stock. What should we do!"

Xue Baochai sat up from Aunt Xue's arms, "Mom, we can't go on like this. Although we can only be attached to the Xue family, it doesn't mean we have to swallow our anger. Don't forget that we still have uncle! You and The aunt is also the daughter of the Wang family, and the younger sister of the uncle, and the uncle will not treat one more favorably than another."

Aunt Xue didn't understand what Xue Baochai meant, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Xue Baochai looked out of the window, "Did Mom forget Brother Ren from Sister-in-law Feng's family? I heard that he is much more sensible now, and he is the same as before. Since Sister-in-law Feng can be so cruel, why can't mother? As long as brother can Let us go back to Jinling, we may not be able to start all over again, it is better than living under the fence of others and begging for perfection!"

How could Aunt Xue be willing to send Xue Pan to the barracks to suffer, but she heard from her sister-in-law that Wang Ren has changed a lot now, he is black and thin, and his sister-in-law cries every time she mentions it.How could she be willing!Xue Pan was the son she begged for after many years of marriage. She didn't even have time for her baby, so how could she be willing to send him to suffer that pain with her own hands, so she only said haha, and didn't directly agree.

Xue Baochai also knew what Aunt Xue was thinking, and she had no other choice but to sigh in her heart. Her brother was unwilling, and her mother was reluctant. Forced my brother away! "If mother is reluctant to part with brother, that's fine. Go and tell your aunt that we want to go back to Jinling and settle down, but before that, please return the 20 taels of silver that you borrowed to build the Grand View Garden."

"What? Pay back the money?" Aunt Xue turned pale with shock, "Isn't this going to tear you apart with your aunt?" Although Mrs. Wang and the Xue family borrowed the money back then, in order not to be said to be relying on the power of the noble concubine , Mrs. Wang pretended to write an IOU, but both parties knew that the 20 taels of silver was given away for nothing, and no one planned to pay it back.

"Tear your face and tear your face, so what! Mom, you don't know, what those women say about me behind my back. They said that I stayed at Jia's house until I was old, just to be the second treasure Grandma, you also said that I only talked about others all day long, but I drank and had fun with Baoyu, and that I was a maid who went in and out of Yihong Courtyard all day long. Could it be that Mom, you gave birth to me to let others do things like this?" As Xue Baochai talked, feeling sad, she covered her face and began to cry again.

Only then did Aunt Xue know what Xue Baochai had gone through. All her life, she had Xue Pan and Baochai's sons and daughters as her darlings. How could she be willing to let her daughter suffer like this? Madam has many complaints!At the beginning, it was obviously you who lied to us to go to Beijing, but when we came, we realized that it was not what she said. The old lady in the mansion liked the girl of the Lin family. It's all acquiesced, so it's time for the dust to settle, right?But Mrs. Wang changed her mind again.Do you really think their Xue family is easy to bully?

Aunt Xue's heart was about to be broken by Baochai's crying. She put her arms around Baochai and said, "Okay, let's go back to Jinling! I'll ask your aunt for money tomorrow, and we'll go back to Jinling!"

Aunt Xue stayed in Hengwu Garden until the sun went down before going back. After she went back, she sat down. Xue Pan came in drunk, "Yo, mom, what's wrong with you? What's wrong? Tell me Son, son, vent your anger on you!"

Aunt Xue glared at him angrily, "You still have the face to say, if it wasn't for you, why would your sister be so angry!"

Xue Pan rolled his eyes, "Sister? Be angry? Who dares to be angry with my sister? Who is it? Is it the Jia family?" Aunt Xue is not like in the past when he mentioned the Jia family, and Xue Pan knew that she You guessed it right, "I know it! As I said in the past, we have our own family, why should we stay in this Jia's mansion? What’s wrong with Jia Baoyu? Isn’t there a piece of broken rock that I don’t know if it’s real or not? One by one, they’re holding him up to the sky! I really think he’s the emperor! Mom, if you believe me, I’ll give it to my sister Find a better marriage than the Jia family!"

Aunt Xue sighed, "Your sister has never cried so sad since she was a child, except when your father died. Seeing her cry makes my heart break! Pan'er, your sister is also doing this for you. Yes. Otherwise, who would want to take care of the Jia family? Your aunt took so much money from our family back and forth, and patted her chest to promise that she would hire your sister for Baoyu. There, my aunt is a mother-in-law, so where can I find such a marriage. That's why I live in Jia's family. But Xue's family doesn't owe Jia's family. I gave your aunt a lot of money. Your aunt's mind has been quickened. At this time, she thinks that our Xue family's family background is low and unsuitable? Why did you go so early! Pan'er, you have to live up to it! You can't let your sister accept grievances anymore."

Xue Pan was furious after hearing Aunt Xue's cry, "I thought it was just wishful thinking between you and my sister, so there is such a thing here, I really think my Xue family has no vent! I'll go in and look for it." My good aunt asks for clarification!" As he spoke, he looked around and saw the door bolt in the corner, picked it up and was about to rush out.

Aunt Xue quickly stopped him, "Calm down! I have discussed it with your sister. I have a reason for you staying at home these few days. I need your aunt to look good this time!"

Xue Pan was dubious, "Is it true? Don't be coaxed by Auntie with a few nice words, you believe her again!"

Aunt Xue was a little guilty, "You don't believe me, don't you believe your sister? This time Bao girl is really hurt. Tomorrow I will ask your aunt for money first, and then take your sister home! Hmph! This time I No matter what, I won't be softhearted!"

Only then did Xue Pan smile in satisfaction, "That is to say! Is it possible that no one wants my sister except the Jia family? Even if no one wants it, it doesn't matter to be an old girl all my life, I just keep my sister!"

Aunt Xue spat: "What nonsense are you talking about! You keep it, will your wife agree?"

Xue Pan stared with a pair of bull's eyes, "If she doesn't agree, let her go!"

Aunt Xue said angrily: "Okay, okay, you have ambition! It's okay, you smell of alcohol, let Xiangling wait for you to take a bath and go to sleep!"

Xiangling came over to support Xue Pan in response, Xue Pan pinched her waist, then smiled and went down with her arms around Xiangling.Leaving Aunt Xue looking at Xue Pan's back and sighing, but if Xue Pan can win a little bit, there is no need to wrong Bao girl so much!

On the second day, Mrs. Wang finally waited for Aunt Xue who came late.In fact, ever since she let out the news, she has been waiting for Aunt Xue to come to ask the teacher about her crimes, and she has already found out the reason.Mrs. Wang knew about this younger sister, and she was easy to fool when she was young, and her only mind grew to the point where wives and concubines competed for each other.

Mrs. Wang had already thought about her words, and she was just waiting for Aunt Xue to speak.How could Aunt Xue startle Mrs. Wang when she opened her mouth, "What? You are going to move back to Jinling? You want to get back the 20 silver that was used to build the garden? Sister, are you kidding me? We agreed at the beginning, This silver is..."

Aunt Xue said in a leisurely manner: "Yes, we agreed at the beginning that the 20 taels will be Baochai's dowry to Baoyu. But how did you do it, sister? I also know that now that the mother is pregnant, the Jia family is also pregnant. As the tide rises, we naturally despise our Xue family's poor family background and are not worthy of your Baoyu. But sister, you should tell the truth, our Xue family is not the kind of person who is cheeky and refuses to leave! Why do you want to Arrange those people to humiliate Bao girl with words! Poor girl Bao has never been humiliated like this since she was a child. I saw her yesterday, and I have the heart to swallow my sister alive! I only have one son and one daughter in my life, who dares to touch them, It's my life!" Aunt Xue's face turned a little bit ferocious when she said that she was excited.

Mrs. Wang swallowed her saliva unconsciously, "Sister, where did you say that? When did I dislike Bao girl? I was the one who insisted on inviting your family to live in Beijing! Have I ever treated her badly? Sister, what you said is so unreasonable!"

Aunt Xue snorted, "Sister, don't continue to quibble. We are sisters, and I still know how you behave. Without your instruction, how could the mother-in-law of the Jia family have the courage to talk about Baochai behind her back?" The only one who has always been able to enjoy this kind of treatment is Miss Lin. Hehe, now that Feng Shui is turning, it is Baochai's turn. Mingren don't speak dark words in front of Ming people. Baochai heard her mother-in-law talking behind her back in the garden yesterday, saying Scholars, farmers, businessmen, merchants are at the bottom, and Xue's family status is low. He also said that Bao girl is shameless and impetuous. She hangs around Yihong courtyard without a maid all day long, drinking and having fun with Baoyu, and she doesn't look like a lady! Didn't you say that?"

Mrs. Wang was really shocked by this. She just asked someone to point out Baochai's identity in secret, hoping that Baochai would take it as a warning and accept her arrangement obediently in the future. She had never asked anyone to say such a thing!For a long time, Baochai's dignified and stable ladylike demeanor has always been admired by me, and I have praised her in front of everyone more than once. Isn't this a slap in the face of myself?

"Sister, I really didn't say that! I swear on Baoyu's future!" Mrs. Wang also realized that she had been tricked, and said with a serious expression. "Sister, I have always liked Bao girl very much. I think she is more important than the second girl and the others. Although she is not as good as Baoyu, Baoyu is my own. I don't know where my sister heard that I despise the Xue family. If I don’t want to marry the Xue family, but I’ll put it here today, I’m only looking for Baochai for the seat of Bao’s Second Mistress, if I’m half-hearted, I’ll be left in a poor old age with no one to see me to death!”

This oath is not poisonous, and Mrs. Wang swears by Baoyu's future, Aunt Xue can't help but believe her [-]%.Others don't know Mrs. Wang, but Aunt Xue knows her.Her elder sister was also a person who didn't believe in retribution when she was young, and her hands were really dirty, but since Jia Zhuyao's death, Mrs. Wang felt remorseful and began to believe in Buddha, for fear that the wrong things she had done would be punished in the future. Then the retribution will be on Baoyu's head.

"But, if it wasn't for my sister's intention, who would dare to spread such a word?" Aunt Xue asked suspiciously.

Mrs. Wang snorted and looked to the west.Aunt Xue looked over, and there was the west wing where Aunt Zhao lived, "She? No way? Can she have such a means?"

Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and said: "Although she doesn't have such means, she has given birth to a clever daughter! Hmph, it looks like I'm just tired and lazy, and all kinds of ghosts and snakes have appeared! I really think I'm a dead person." Ah! Good sister, let's not talk about this, I know I have wronged Bao girl, so I will go to see her right away. Caiyun!" Madam Wang shouted.

"Hey, Madam, what's your order?" Caiyun opened the curtain and walked in.

"Isn't there bird's nest and donkey-hide gelatin stored in the warehouse? Quickly pack a copy and send it to Hengwu Garden. My aunt and I will go there first. Remember, hurry up!" Mrs. Wang ordered.

Caiyun nodded, "Understood, madam!"

Mrs. Wang took Aunt Xue's hand and said, "Let's go and see Bao girl first! I'll clean up that cheap hoof later!"

Aunt Xue has already believed eight points at this time, and she is reluctant to part with this marriage, thinking that she will take advantage of the victory to pursue it later, and must make this marriage formally settled by Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue arrived at Hengwuyuan in a hurry. When Xue Baochai heard Yinger's return, she felt cold. After all, her mother was still coaxed by her aunt, or in other words, she was still reluctant to part with this marriage.After all, it was for my brother.

"My son! Why are you so haggard?" Mrs. Wang covered her mouth in distress when she saw Xue Baochai lying on the bed, "You child, you have been wronged, why didn't you tell your aunt, don't you treat your aunt as an outsider?" ?”

Xue Baochai's eyes were red, and she choked up and called out to her aunt, and then she was speechless, but teardrops rolled down her cheeks one by one, which made people feel distressed.

"Sister Bao, why are you crying?" Jia Baoyu's heartbroken voice suddenly came from the door. It turned out that Jia Baoyu didn't see Xue Baochai one day yesterday, so he sent someone to ask, and only said that Miss Bao had a wind blowing and was ill. .Jia Baoyu wanted to come over to visit the sick, but Xue Baochai made people say that he was afraid of getting sick, so he was not allowed to go.Jia Baoyu endured it for a whole day, and finally couldn't help it this morning, and slipped over quietly, just in time to see Xue Baochai crying.

Maybe it's because Xue Baochai is rarely seen crying, but at first sight, it's really distressing.Although it was not as pitiful as sister Lin when she was crying, she had a different style.At least, Jia Baoyu's heart was moved after seeing it.

Jia Baoyu ran in and greeted Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue first, "Hello, Madam, Auntie." Then before they could say anything, she sat down in front of Xue Baochai, "Sister Bao, why are you so sick? I just wanted to come to see you yesterday, but Pian Mingyue said that you would not let me come, Sister Bao, because I was afraid of getting sick. In fact, I am very strong, so I am so easy to get sick. Good sister, we saw Wei Zheng’s before. Admonish Taizong Shi Sishu, Sister Bao, you promised me to tell me about Wei Zheng, have you forgotten?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang looked at Baochai with softer eyes. She also remembered the benefits of Baochai in the past. Treating Baoyu wholeheartedly is the most important thing.Those noble girls from aristocratic families are of nobler status, but they must have a bad temper. Baoyu has been spoiled since she was a child, so why should Baoyu go to accommodate her?Besides, which aristocratic daughter can have 20 taels of silver as a dowry!

"Sister, look, the young couple are so friendly, this is the best!" Mrs. Wang said softly, pulling Aunt Xue's sleeve.

Aunt Xue looked at the harmonious appearance of the pair of children, and nodded in agreement. To be honest, there is no such shop after this village, and it will be difficult to find a son with the same personality, appearance and temperament as Baoyu. .

Xue Baochai's heart turned rapidly, since it could not be changed, it was better to let nature take its course and strive to gain more benefits for herself to the greatest extent, so she forced herself to deal with Baoyu.Until Wen Fei ran over out of breath, saying that the old lady got a lot of good things, and asked the second master to go and pick out some favorites, and said that Miss Bao should also pick out.

Just now Xue Baochai took advantage of the situation and let Yinger go to the front with Baoyu.After repeated persuasion, Jia Baoyu reluctantly left.

After Jia Baoyu left, Mrs. Wang sat by Xue Baochai's bed, took Xue Baochai's hand and said, "My son, why didn't you tell your aunt about such a big grievance? If it wasn't for your mother, I wouldn't have told you." I know! Now that I'm old, I don't have much energy to house the house, so I leave everything to your sister-in-law and sisters. Who knows, such a thing happened, don't worry, my aunt will definitely make decisions for you! That's a small screwdriver Don’t listen to their nonsense. In a few days, I will enter the palace to pay my respects to my empress, and then I will settle your marriage! At that time, I will see who dares to talk nonsense!”

Xue Baochai smiled weakly, but kept her head down and said nothing.

Seeing her being wronged like this, Mrs. Wang not only didn't cry, but remained dignified. She immediately loved and pitied her very much. She put aside the dissatisfaction she had felt towards her a few days ago, and patted Xue Baochai's hair and said with a smile: " Today, only our mother-in-law is here, so let me put my words here! From the beginning to the end, the only candidate for Baoyu's daughter-in-law that I am satisfied with is Baoyatou. It's now. I don't know where the previous rumors came from, but I also know that someone with a heart must deliberately speak out to provoke our relationship. Bao girl, you can't be fooled!"

It's all said and done, if Xue Baochai doesn't confess himself, then it will be inappropriate. "Auntie, I believe in Auntie, but that night, when I heard what the two women said, I wished that there would be a hole in the ground to get in. Auntie believed me, so she entrusted me with teaching Baoyu, but But I have hurt Baoyu's reputation, I really feel ashamed to see my aunt again. Aunt, it's all my fault, it's my fault that I gave that villain a chance to slander Baoyu."

When Mrs. Wang saw that Xue Baochai had reached this point, she did not cry about her grievances, but only thought about Baoyu, and her heart became more and more satisfied.That's all, for the sake of Baoyu's sake, let's forgive her for being petty before!

"I understand how you treat Baoyu. Don't worry, Baoyu will never let you down."

When Mrs. Wang and her party came back from Hengwu Garden, Jia Wan happened to be looking straight at her. Jia Wan smiled, and then took a detour and left from the other side.Hua'er followed behind, still holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand, and asked puzzledly: "Girl, why don't you go this way, it's closer to go out this way! The old lady got something good there, I went late , but was picked away by others.”

Jia Wan said with a smile: "It's just playthings. The ancients once said, don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself. Do you know?"

Hua'er pouted and said, "Oh, I see." After walking a few steps, she asked, "Girl, I understand not to be happy with things, but don't be happy because of things outside, so why not be sad about yourself?" What do you mean? Don’t you feel sad because you are ugly?”

Jia Wan staggered and almost fell down. After finally standing still, she covered her belly and laughed loudly, "Hua'er, when Mr. Ming'er is teaching me, you should also listen in on the sidelines! Sadness, don't feel sad for yourself! It's really ridiculous."

Hua'er stared blankly, "Girl, what are you laughing at? Isn't that what you mean? Then what does it mean not to feel sorry for yourself?"

Jia Wan finally stopped laughing, "You go back and ask the mother, don't you know?"

Hua'er bit her lip and said, "Then I'll ask Nanny Fang, as Nanny Yang is in a hurry, so I won't look for her!"

Jia Wan is about to laugh again. It seems that even the maids know that Nanny Yang is not good at talking. Why is she so bad-tempered? Could it be that she has reached menopause?Oh, what can I do?There is no Jingxin Oral Solution here.Jia Wan walked back while thinking wildly.

When she got to Jia Mu's place, Jia Mu saw her and said with a smile: "You are late, all the good things have been divided. You have no share."

Jia Wan greeted Jia Mu with a smile, and then said with a smile: "I don't believe it, if others don't keep it for me, Aunt Lin will definitely keep it for me? Isn't it Aunt Lin?"

The author has something to say: First of all, thank you for your support and for fighting against injustices!But I still need to explain. In fact, the situation in my family is not what everyone thinks. My younger brother doesn’t dislike me or is afraid that I will divide the family property or something.In fact, my parents once said this house in front of my two younger brothers' father-in-law and mother-in-law, including younger brothers and sisters, that this house will be given to me after a hundred years from my parents.At that time, my house was demolished and divided into three houses, two big ones were given to my younger brother, and the one with more than [-] square meters was named after my parents. I was not married at that time.The reason why I didn't write my name directly is because my dad was afraid that the husband I would find in the future would be bad, and he wouldn't let them live at that time.My parents have said more than once that this house is for me.So there is no such thing as dividing the family property, and I don't plan to divide the family property of my parents.If they are willing to give me this house, they will take it, and if they don't give it to me, they will not force it.What my younger brother is thinking about is that my elder sister-in-law is due to give birth in less than a month, and she doesn't want to give birth in the hospital in their county, but insists on coming to us. over here.We can't let them live in a hotel, because there won't be enough room to sleep at home.That's why I say this.In fact, the relationship between the three of us, the siblings, is very good. Although we have been fighting since we were young, basically I crushed them unilaterally, and they all gave way to me.Because I have been eating at my natal family since I got married (but I pay for food every month), sometimes I am afraid that my younger siblings will be unhappy, so I often buy things for my little nephew. Of course, my younger siblings are not that ignorant People who live in China often buy food and clothes for my daughter.How should I put it, neither of us is the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others, the way we get along with each other is the kind where you respect me and I respect you.As for my mother's personality, maybe she felt that there was no overnight feud between mother and daughter, so she had no taboos when talking to me.She is a nice person, but sometimes she is too self-centered.As for the relationship between me and my husband, hehe, how should I put it, previous readers should know that he once touched me, and both parents were alarmed that time, and they talked about divorce. Now it’s just for the children to make ends meet. .So I don't really care what he thinks.I also know that there is something wrong with my mentality, but I can't help it, I can't change it.Sorry for letting my negativity affect everyone.Don't worry, everyone, thank you for your support!Love you guys!
