The oil bottle of the Red Chamber

What Mrs. You and Mrs. Chen said in the upper room is unknown to others.All I know is that You Ziyu came to the court that night, and after hearing Mrs. You's nagging, she was very excited for several days.Afterwards, his attitude towards the eldest girl also changed a lot.It was asking for warmth, giving gifts of gold and jade, and telling the eldest girl to learn from Mrs. Chen to be a housekeeper...everything was thoughtful and meticulous, so that the eldest girl was flattered, and she couldn't figure it out at all.

When the second sister and the third sister saw each other, they thought that You Ziyu accidentally touched the heart of a loving father, and didn't take it seriously.On the contrary, Aunt Lan was full of sadness, and only waited for You Ziyu to go to her room to rest. She cried and complained several times in private, and only said that You Ziyu didn't love Fourth Miss anymore.You Ziyu still liked Aunt Lan quite a lot before the Chen family came in.What's more, the fourth girl is his own daughter, so naturally she never treated her differently.

Seeing Aunt Lan misunderstood so much, You Ziyu had to explain a few words to her.He also said that the matter was not quite accurate, and for the sake of the girl's reputation in the family, I told Aunt Lan not to let her go.Afterwards, when Aunt Lan saw the eldest girl again, her demeanor changed again, this time even the third sister could see something was wrong.I had no choice but to ask Mrs. Chen quietly behind everyone's back.

At first, Mrs. Chen hesitated and refused to answer, and then she was annoyed by the third sister's question, and then thought that although the third sister was young, she was not such a talkative person, she couldn't help answering vaguely: "It's just for the eldest girl's wedding."

The third sister was startled, and couldn't help but think of the plot in the book.Busily asked.Sure enough, Mrs. Chen said that the last time the old lady was annoyed by someone's funeral, she somehow found a way to Ningguo Mansion, and learned that the serious wife was gone and wanted to continue her life.When I came back, I told her and You Ziyu.Afterwards, You Ziyu worked outside, and she got on the line.

The third sister was startled when she heard that, thinking of the plot in the book, she hurriedly opened her mouth to comfort Mrs. Chen with words of "Qi Dafei", unexpectedly Mrs. Chen didn't care, instead she said that Mrs. Chen thought too much.When the third sister wanted to comfort her again, Mrs. Chen talked about him, and just dismissed the third sister casually.

Seeing this, the third sister had no choice but to hold back her thoughts and go back to her room to write a letter.I also attached a few photos of the details of disaster relief and epidemic prevention that my uncle and nephew didn't expect to discuss at the time—I don't know if it will work or not, but it's better than nothing.I just waited for Zhang Yun to arrange the affairs of the family, the elders and the children, and let him take it with him when he left for Jiangnan.

That day, when the fourth letter was halfway through writing, Mrs. Chen came in with a smile on her face, dismissed the irrelevant girls in the house, sat down next to the third sister, and whispered: "I just came in from here. The old lady from Shangfang came to the room, guess what the old lady asked me to come over this time?"

The third sister was thinking about Jiangnan, while writing a letter, she asked casually, "For what?"

"It's what I said last time. It's almost [-]% accurate for the big girl to see her." Chen moved closer to the third sister, and said in a spirited voice: "This time, our You's house is burned." Now that Gao Xiang is gone, it is obvious that Tong Guogong will become an in-law?"

The third sister's writing hand paused, and a drop of ink dripped from the nib to stain the letter paper. The third sister had no choice but to put the rabbit pen on the inkstone carved with Jiang Taigong's fishing picture, and threw the letter paper on the case into a ball. Put it into the wastebasket at the side, and said on the wall: "I asked Mom a few days ago, didn't Mom not want to say it. Why are you talking again now?"

"I didn't tell you before because I thought you talked too much nonsense. Besides, it's for the sake of the big girl's reputation. Now it's all [-]% accurate, so why hide it?" Chen smiled and pushed The third sister said over her shoulder: "Do you know that in the past when the emperor followed the emperor to conquer the world, only the Jia family was able to seal the two princes because of their meritorious service? In Ning Erfu, who doesn't envy the first-class power and wealth. It really is a cornucopia that fell from the sky, why did it fall on our house. "

The third sister didn't take it seriously, and said after hearing this: "Even if the cornucopia falls from the sky and hits people on the head, it will kill people. What's more, the lintel of their family, how can people like us climb up to it?"

The Chen family and the third sister were not congenial, so they could only smile and said: "It doesn't matter if the family status is not high, as long as the horoscope matches."

Mrs. Chen said that she still couldn't stop liking her heart, and said with a smile on her face, "Oh, I don't know what blessings this big girl has accumulated in her previous life. I thought it was a pity that she is a good-looking girl who has kept the family. Filial piety met national filial piety again, and it was delayed for several years. Seeing that she became an old girl and no one wanted her, when she became a filial piety, she was either used as a house fill or as a stepmother. I still felt it was a pity. She was born to meet such a great happy event..."

"...How could it be such a coincidence? It happened that the daughter-in-law of Mr. Zhen in the Ningguo Mansion was gone at that time, and he was planning to go out of the country and marry a second wife. If we talk about our family status, it doesn't deserve anything. The housekeeper's wife of the prince's family. Even if it is a successor, there are still some officials who are willing to curry favor with this marriage. Who would have thought that by chance, the father who gave birth to that uncle Zhen was so fascinated by cultivating immortals and seeking Taoism that he didn't know what to hear What kind of bull-nosed and old-fashioned nonsense is saying that marrying a daughter-in-law requires a combination of horoscopes in order to help his luck. Now that we have the horoscope of our eldest girl, it really is a match made in heaven. If you say this is true, This big girl has suddenly turned into the Duke's wife..."

The third sister rolled her eyes, and said disapprovingly: "Where is the lady from the country? Their family's hereditary title, now in Jia Zhen's generation, has already been reduced to the illusory title of the third-rank general Wei Lie because of the failure of her descendants. Their family was so overjoyed that they refused to take down the plaque of the Duke's Mansion, and only confiscated the princes of the Duke's Mansion.

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen snorted out of her nose, because she said, "I said you are so eccentric in your speech today. Besides, you know everything about your children. I just thought I followed your uncle to watch it a few more times. If you report to the mansion, you will be able to know what is going on in the families of these meritorious officials. Let me tell you the truth, let alone that Uncle Zhen of Ningguo Mansion is still a third-rank noble, he is just the young man of their house. He is also more respectable than the seventh-rank magistrates in other provinces. Otherwise, people in the world say that the seventh-rank officials are in front of the prime minister. No matter how you say it, he is also a hereditary third-rank General Wei Lie. If your eldest sister can really marry her , that is the imperial order of the third rank... Ouch, this fate is really precious, and it is not in vain for me to love her once... Our family can be regarded as the in-laws of the Duke Houmen's mansion."

Seeing Mrs. Chen shaking her head and chattering in admiration, the third sister couldn't help but frowned and sighed: "I don't think this matter is reliable, not to mention that our family and Ningguo Mansion are not in the same family, so we can't get in touch with each other. If it’s true to see someone for the big sister, you have to inquire first about the family style of the Ningguo Mansion, and what kind of personality is that Uncle Zhen, if it’s an inappropriate person... how can we rest assured? How about marrying the eldest sister?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but waved her hands and sneered: "You are so willing to worry. Don't say that I am not her mother, I am her mother. There are old ladies and masters on top, and it is not my turn to do it." What's more, it doesn't matter what kind of character the family is, they are also the family of the Duke's Mansion, and they are serious disciples of aristocratic families. If we talk about ordinary things, our family still can't reach the top."

"...Furthermore, your elder sister is nineteen years old, 19-year-old girl, it's not the time for us to pick and choose and talk about others. Why is there no news about the family who married first? , you also know it. Since this is the case, even if you are out of filial piety, the only people who can see each other are the elders who have lost their wives and spouses, or the old bachelors who are poor and have passed the exam several times. After all, he is not as good as that uncle Zhen. At least he has a good family background, good looks, noble status, and good manners. Except for having a ten-year-old son, there is nothing wrong with him... Such a good man with all four corners After passing this village, there will be no such shop anymore. So if this matter really happens, it will be smoke from the grave of their You family ancestors!"

Besides, if the eldest girl really married into the Ningguo Mansion, with this in-law, You Ziyu's future would be guaranteed.When the baby in her womb lands, if it is a boy, there will be a sister who is the housekeeper's wife in the Duke's mansion.In the future, there will be nothing to say about the contacts that you will make with future and wealth!

The third sister looked at Chen's face full of joy and sincerity, and felt that there was really a generation gap between the two of them, and they couldn't talk together at all.I had to say: "I only heard that the old matriarch of Rongguo Mansion, regardless of age, drove Chengjue's grand master to live in a small courtyard next to the stable. But he brought his youngest son and wife to live in the main courtyard. Erli. I gave birth to a brother with jade, and he spread it to everyone in the world. It can be seen that he is a frivolous and unruly family. The eldest sister is soft-tempered and unwilling to argue with others. If she married into such a I'm afraid you will suffer. I advise you not to be blinded by power and wealth, and you have to think for the big sister."

Mrs. Chen didn't expect the third sister to say such a thing, and she was full of satisfaction for the eldest girl.At this moment, after hearing the third sister's scrambling, the willow eyebrows stood upright in anger, pinched her waist and spat: "What's wrong with not playing today? I see that you are the Huqin who is full of mouth. There is no one who lives in a family. It's a matter, but you just hold on to the shortcomings of the family. Is the family good or not? It’s really ugly. Not to mention that they haven’t given the eldest girl to some prince or prime minister as a concubine, if they really sent it, that is also the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, and it is the fate of the eldest girl. Ten thousand steps back, it’s also It's not your turn to take pity on the younger sister brought by your stepmother. You... ouch..."

As Chen Shi spoke, she felt pain in her abdomen, and hurriedly covered her eight-month-old stomach, whooping non-stop.Seeing this, the third sister hurried forward to support Mrs. Chen on the couch.He also ordered the little girl Zhen'er to call the doctor.Mrs. Chen allowed the third sister to comfort her, and said, "I said that it's all right to tell me what you said today, and don't talk nonsense in front of people. Okay, don't tell people to hide it behind your back." Scolding you, saying that you are shameless!"

The third sister secretly rolled her eyes, and did not dare to argue with Mrs. Chen.For a while, the little girl brought the doctor in to check the pulse, and there was no symptom.However, the prescription for rehabilitating the fetus has been prescribed.

Here the third sister serves Mrs. Chen to sleep in her own room.Seeing that Mrs. Chen had taken the anti-fetal medicine and slept soundly, she just left the room and only wandered around in the garden once.Now it is the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the flowers in the garden are withered, the branches and leaves are withered and yellow, and there is nothing to appreciate.

The third sister couldn't stand the cold wind, so she turned around and went back to her room.When the eldest girl passed by the door, she saw that there was no one in the room, only two little girls were sitting on the threshold and turning the red rope.When I saw my third sister, I got up and said hello.

The third sister stopped and asked the two of them, "Where are you girls?"

One of them replied that he had just sent someone to look for her in the room, and the eldest girl was talking in the old lady's room at the moment.

After hearing this, the third sister didn't ask any more questions, and went back to her room to continue writing letters.Just after a few strokes, I saw the second sister come in with a plate of jujube paste and yam cake in her hand. She said with a smile, "the hot cake I just made in the kitchen looks good. I'll bring it to eat with you."

After all, he put the cake on the table and sat next to the third sister.Whispering softly, he whispered, "What did you argue with your mother in the room just now, it was so loud that even I could hear it in the room..."

The third sister rolled her eyes helplessly.He didn't answer.

The second sister didn't notice the third sister's expression, she just said enviously: "That's great. I heard that the eldest sister will marry to the Ningguo Mansion after she has passed her filial piety. By then, she will be the wife of the third rank. "

The third sister thought that it was not a kind family.What's more, a good beginning may not necessarily lead to a good end, and no family will be ransacked and exterminated in 20 years.

It's just that it's not easy to say this now, so I can only wave my hands and say: "I haven't decided yet, and besides, I'm in Xiaozhong, so don't talk nonsense. If someone outside hears it, it's not good for eldest sister."

The second sister smiled softly and said, "I can save it. I just told you. Besides you, who else should I tell?"

While talking, I only heard someone talking outside.The third sister couldn't help but raise her voice and ask, "Who is outside?"

Momentarily Zhen'er lifted the curtain, and the eldest girl came in with two servant girls.With a shy and timid face, he said to the third sister: "I heard from the little girl in my room that the third sister just came to see me. I don't know if the third sister has something to say to me, so I came here to have a look."

The second sister and the third sister hurriedly got up and gave up their seats with a smile, and ordered Zhen'er to pour tea.

The eldest girl sat down under the window.She didn't know what to think of, but she had a coy face, which made her feel embarrassed.The third sister judged her words and deeds, so she knew that Mrs. You was afraid to tell her about the Ningguo Mansion, so she frowned secretly——

Just looking at the description of the big girl, I'm afraid she is very willing.Thinking about this, the third sister couldn't help thinking of what Mrs. Chen told her just now, the so-called inseparable relationship, if even the eldest girl herself didn't feel bad, but she said those words, it would be like cursing someone, Will it invite people to complain and be a villain?

But if you don't say...
