Prequel to the Red Chamber: I Am the Second Wife

Baoyu came in with his head drooping, Zili glanced at his youngest son and could only sigh in his heart: "I heard the girl say that you are bored all day long, but if you don't feel well, ask the imperial doctor to take a look. The old lady would rather Don't make her worry about you." Baoyu didn't dare to pretend to be crazy in front of Zili, so she could only force herself to agree: "I'm really Xiren and they are too careful."

Zili glanced at Baoyu: "I will pick up your little sister Xiangyun tomorrow. She grew up with you too. This time, you have to let her go." His mind was on Xiangyun, and Jiamu's selfishness was obvious in Baoyu's marriage.Her distressed grandson wants to find a good girl, preferably a relative of her own family. Only by getting married can she feel at ease.Baoyu didn't look particularly happy when he heard Xiangyun came, he only claimed it was.Frustrated by Baoyu's virtue of not being afraid of boiling water, Zili slapped the table and stared at Baoyu's eyes: "You moan and sigh all day, and I don't know what you worry about. You don't like reading, and your father and I I don’t dare to take care of you anymore. You caused trouble and didn’t know anyone well. Your father almost asked you to be dismissed from office and sent to a wild land. Fortunately, the emperor didn’t pursue it, and the officials recommended it. Now your father’s official position is gone. I can only hide from people at home. You have no regrets at all. I think you are still young, even if you are killed, it will be of no use. Forget it. How many maids and women are serving you all day long, and your two brothers In comparison, you are much more pampered than them. I don’t know where I offended you. I told you to be sulky to people all day long, so you just show mercy. Poor your sister is about to give birth in the palace. I'm worried about family matters and I can't go see her." Zili said, tears came down.

Seeing what her mother said, Baoyu still didn't say a word. She was silent for a long time before she could say a word: "I'm fine, but everyone cares about me too much. I just hope that my wife and master will leave me alone in the future. "

"Very well, since you said so, I understand. From now on, I will never care about your affairs. I want to see what tricks you can make. I know why you are depressed all day long. There is no good thing in the world for nothing. There is a price to pay for everything. As long as you are willing to work hard and put your mind to what you think, God rewards hard work and there will always be a reward for hard work. But you only look at yourself, and even the third-class little girl in our family knows that you have to take good care of yourself. Learning the rules, learning needlework, and the determination to be a second-class girl in the first place. But you are not even as good as a girl! Speaking of which, I know what you think in your heart. After so long, you What did you do? Others did it. Leaving aside, let’s just say that although your third sister is not my own, since I am her mother, I have to consider her life. In the future, her husband’s parentage will be secondary, what matters The most important thing is to have the responsibility to support a family, to protect her and the child and not let her be wronged. I think this idea is the same as parents in the world. Why did you end up like this? Go back and think about it yourself. You should also Knowing that there is always a banquet in the world, your father managed a family by himself, and we can't be with you for the rest of your life. When your parents are gone, you should start your own family. Are you still counting on your brother and nephew to support you? You look like this, that wise parent dares to entrust his daughter to you? Will the daughter marry you and live on others for the rest of her life?" Baoyu's eyes widened in surprise when Zili said something, seeing Baoyu's face changed drastically, Zili Li Cai didn't say any more.

Baoyu was completely silent, he stood up silently, cupped his hands at Zili, turned around and left.Zili didn't say anything, and sat alone in the room watching the curling green smoke rising from the incense burner.Those words sound harsh, but it would be a good thing if Baoyu could wake up from this.If Baoyu is still full of inexplicable pessimism about the world and the future, even the gods will not be able to save him.

That night, Xiren came back and said that Baoyu had locked herself in the room alone, and would not open the door no matter what the girl called her. "Second Master hasn't eaten yet, so please ask your wife to go over and have a look. When Second Master came back, his expression was scary. This servant is worried that Second Master has done something stupid. My wife may not know what Second Master is thinking, so it is very difficult for slaves to reason with this. Don't dare to say it out loud, but in the current situation, if the servants still keep it secret, it will not only fail the wife's grace, but also harm the second master. In fact, the second master likes Lin—"

"Stop talking, I know what my own son thinks. Who can he blame for his incompetence? Lin Yatou's family has hundreds of female begging, what do you call Baoyu to compare with Shixiang!" Zili waved his hand to stop Xiren's words, No one thought that Da Zili would have known about it long ago.She thought that Zili would fly into a rage when he found out, and she resented Miss Lin for leading Baoyu away.But I didn't expect my wife to say this!After being shocked, Xiren savored Zili's words carefully, only to realize that Baoyu, who in her eyes was like a god, was indeed not good enough for Miss Lin.That's right, Baoyu is a treasure in her girl's eyes, but Miss Lin, she is the master's girl, a five-generation prince of the Lin family, and her husband's family can't find what she looks like.

Xiren silently took the things Zili gave Baoyu and walked back, but her heart was churning. She had been in Baoyu's room for several years, and she did her best not to make a wrong step, and finally managed to get to the seat she is in today.In fact, the wife acquiesced in serving Baoyu in the future.A few days ago, her brother offered to redeem her to go home, but Xiren flatly refused. She thought that Baoyu was a soft-hearted person, and she had the affection of serving her since she was a child. In the future, she would be stable with Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wang the same.Before Daiyu got engaged, Xiren was always worried that if Baoyu married an unforgiving official wife in the future, he would be in danger. Judging from the usual old lady's intentions, Baoyu's marriage was probably Miss Lin.It's a pity that although Lin Daiyu is weak, she doesn't rub the sand in her eyes, and Baoyu has a heart for her.Xiren was worried that he would not have a good life in the future.But today she suddenly realized that she was like a treasure hunter entering a treasure chest, facing a dazzling array of treasures and choosing one quietly, but waiting to get out of the treasure chest, she found that she was holding a chicken rib that was too bad to eat.

Can Baoyu be entrusted for life? "Sister Xiren, where are you going?" Li Jin's girl, Yu Niang, came to greet her.Xiren hurriedly collected his thoughts: "I'm going to get my wife's things. Where are you going?"

"Today someone sent some fruits to uncle, and grandma asked me to bring some over. I went to deliver some fruits first, and now I have more things to do with Brother Xuan. I will talk to you when I am free." Yu Niang said. He hurried away with the food box.Waiting for Xiren to return to Baoyu's room, he saw a lot of fruits on the table, all of which were fresh in the south, bayberry, lychee, pipa, all crystal clear.

"It was all sent by the old man. I saw that the old man was not in a hurry to get up and find an official again. I just saw that the old man was successful in his official career. When the old man in the family was dismissed, he was left out in front of the door, and the whole family was ashamed. Strange, there are more people who are fawning on you!" Qingwen saw Xiren come in and pointed to the fruit for her.

Seeing those things, Xiren became more and more silent.

Zili went to the palace to accompany Yuanchun, and as the day of giving birth was getting closer, Zili's heart rose to her throat.At this time, the emperor sent the prince an errand to inspect the water conservancy in Gyeonggi.The prince was naturally 1 unwilling, but unfortunately the emperor's will, the prince could only bite the bullet and agree, followed Yuan Chun greasy and crooked, and said goodbye every step of the way.

There are only Zili and Yuanchun mother and daughter left in the East Palace, Zili can take care of her daughter more conveniently.That day Yuanchun and Zili were taking a walk in the courtyard when a young maid came over and said, "Servant Xue Xuan is here."
