Prequel to the Red Chamber: I Am the Second Wife

Aunt Xue returned home with a depressed face. Xue Pan happened to come back and saw his mother depressed and hurriedly asked: "When I came back, I saw the chaos at my aunt's house. What did they say that the mother of their third girl came to the door before. Really?" It's a strange thing, her mother seems to have been dead for so many years, why suddenly popped up."

Aunt Xue sighed and said, "It's really shameless to stay here at Jia's house. You tell someone to clean up our house and move out quickly." Aunt Xue told how to enter the palace today, what Tanchun and Aunt Zhao said. It's all said and done.She sighed and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "I didn't expect how your sister could do such a thing. The third girl doesn't know, doesn't she know the severity? She can be a substitute for others to make a kiss. She is alone in that place." Can the girls go to every family? It is clear that she traded her own daughter for her own glory and wealth, but your sister is helping others to harm her relatives."

Xue Pan was immediately annoyed when he heard his mother's words: "I said that my mother used to favor my sister, and you scolded me for being stupid and disrespectful to others. What happened today! I knew that my sister was about to change when she entered the palace, and her heart was full of glory. If you are rich, then you still think about others. Today she can sell the younger sister of the aunt's family, and tomorrow she may use us as a stepping stone. I will go over and make it clear to my aunt that in the future, our mother and son will be our mother and son. The palace is taking good care of her future, we don't have such a good girl, a good daughter!" Aunt Xue was even more sad when she heard that Xue Pan was about to break up with Baochai.

"Having said that, your sister is also pitiful. I saw her in the palace today. Although she looked good, she was obviously unhappy." Aunt Xue certainly felt sorry for her child. It's too much, but I can't bear to let my daughter draw a clear line.Xue Pan could only sigh when he heard his mother's words: "Why don't we go back to the south? I used to wander around all day long and not do my job properly, which made my mother sad. Now I understand it. I have thought about it these days. The foundation of our family It's still in the south, and the business in the capital only accounts for half of it. Why don't we go back and reorganize the family business, and now my uncle is also in Hangzhou, so he can help."

After listening to her son's words, Aunt Xue thought to herself that now she was ashamed to stay in front of her sister. In the past, her son couldn't keep the family business, but wandered around all day and ruined the family business. She could only rely on her sister's family.Now it's better to go back to her hometown as Pan'er said, avoiding Zili in the first place, so she can feel a little more at ease.Furthermore, after listening to what her son said just now, Aunt Xue did not love Baochai as much as before, thinking that she will still rely on her son in the future, why bother to make him angry for her daughter.Aunt Xue thought about it for a long time and sighed heavily: "You are right, I will go over tomorrow to apologize to your aunt, you asked someone to clean up the accounts here, let's go back quickly." After hearing this, Xue Pan hurriedly called someone to go Organized accounts, ready to move.

Here, Zili and Jia Zheng discussed it all night, but they still couldn't come up with an idea.Jia Zheng got up in the morning, rubbed his brows and said wearily, "I have no other choice, at worst, I will raise Sanya for the rest of my life, and they can still rob people's daughters by force?!" Zili could only sigh, as if to comfort himself, It seemed to be comforting Jia Zheng: "People are forgetful. After a few years, no one will remember those bad things. By that time, she will not be very old. I will tell her when the time comes." Marriage." Zili and Jia Zheng made up their minds that they would not treat Tanchun as someone else's stand-in and ask Aunt Zhao to make a fuss, and she would be the one who would lose face in the end.

The two of them struggled to eat breakfast, Jia Zheng was going to the yamen, Zili watched Jia Zheng go out, and she was alone before helping the girl to go to Jia Mu's side.Waking up early in the morning, Jiamu was lying on the couch, and Yuanyang was beating Jiamu's legs with a beauty fist.Zili saw that Jiamu's expression was not good, so she knew that Jiamu didn't rest well last night, she was about to leave quietly, but Jiamu opened her eyes: "Second wife is here, come down and I have something to say to you." explain."

"The old lady looks bad. If you have anything to say, it's better to wait for the old lady to feel better." Zili looked at Jia Mu's expression worriedly, worried that something good or bad would come out of the old lady's out of breath.

I know my body well, and I won't die anytime soon.Just sit down and the eldest wife will come over later.Speaking of Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Jia also coming, Mother Jia asked the two daughter-in-laws to sit down in front of her and said solemnly: "I thought about it all night, our family has been famous for a hundred years with the merits of our ancestors. If anyone dares to bully When it comes to us, the face of our ancestors will be lost. Sanyatou’s mother is not a thing, a whore like a tiger who does not eat a child, she even sells her own daughter for her own idea. Sanyatou is People in our family don't talk to her even if they sell it. The eldest lady goes back to prepare the dowry for the second girl. You go and invite that Mr. Wang. I want to meet him in person. If he is a good person, I will make up my mind and say to him. The second girl is your husband, so you and the elder don't have to worry about it. I have the final say on the second girl's marriage." Jia's mother's eyes shone brightly, and Mrs. Xing was so overwhelmed by Jia's mother that she couldn't lift her head.

She hurriedly got up and said: "What the old lady said is that the master and I are worrying about the marriage of the second girl. If the second wife and the second master are willing, we are naturally grateful to you. It's just that the third girl will be treated badly now. "Madam Xing looked at Zili's expression while talking.Jia Lian and Sister Feng were always uncertain about Yingchun's marriage. Now Jia's mother came forward to tell Yingchun the son-in-law who was originally given to Tanchun. There will be some dowry.It can save money and trouble, Mrs. Xing is [-] willing.It's just that she was worried that Zili would be unhappy if he thought their eldest family had taken advantage of it.

Of course Zili was a little unhappy. Jia Zheng had agreed with others that he would marry Tanchun.Another thing is that Zili is not reconciled, that Wang Deming should be a sensible person after hearing Jia Zheng's description, and he shouldn't mind the identity of Tanchun's biological mother.Thinking about it, when Wang Deming's father was doing something bad, Nan'an Palace didn't play any good role. Now Nan'an Palace is also at the end of its battle. Maybe Wang Deming doesn't dislike Tanchun, but Jia Mu'an gave Yingchun.Deep in Zili's heart, welcoming the spring is farther than Tanchun.

"Well, although the old lady's idea is good, but what the master said at the beginning was why the third girl suddenly changed, I'm worried that she has an idea." Zili wanted to slow down temporarily while practicing Taijiquan.

Jia's mother had her own considerations: "It's good that you feel sorry for the third girl, but the news of the marriage has already gone out, and your master has also met Wang Deming. If there is no news suddenly, wouldn't it be more confirmed that the third girl is disgusted?" , Where is the face of our family? Once this hole is opened, the second girl's marriage will be more difficult. After all, Yingchun is older, and she should get married first." The most important thing right now is to find a home for the girls in the family No matter what the outcome is, Tanchun's marriage will be delayed.But Yingchun was innocent, she was simply dragged down, Jia Mu thought about it all night, Yingchun was indeed old, and it would be a joke to delay it any longer.That's why she made up her mind to marry two sisters, and she could send out one by one.

Zili wanted to say something, but Tanchun came in alone.Tanchun had experienced so much yesterday, but today he looked calm, his body and head were tidied up, his calm expression was no different from his usual greeting to Jiamu.Except for her red and swollen eyes, she really couldn't tell that she had experienced such twists and turns yesterday.Zili just wanted to tell Tanchun not to come here and ask An to go back and rest, but Tanchun went straight to Jia Mu and knelt down: "Old lady, I am willing to go to Nan'an Palace to make a marriage." Living.Even Mrs. Xing felt bad: "You silly girl, if the marriage is a good thing, why doesn't their own girl go? Don't be stupid, their family dares to come in and snatch it. You just stay at home with peace of mind. Let's see who can do what to you."

Tanchun burst into tears when he heard Mrs. Xing's words: "I have lost my mother since I was a child, but my wife and Aunt Wang took me as their own daughter, let alone the old lady loves us. I have grown up in this family so much, I have never been wronged. I only think that when I grow up, I will treat my wife as my own mother. Who knows that I don’t have that fate. I am a girl and can’t go out to make a career, and I can’t comfort my wife at home. The old lady is married, but it still drags everyone down. I am already an unfilial person, and I still want the old lady and the old lady to worry about me. I might as well leave here far away, and everyone will be clean."

Hearing Tanchun's words, Zili was saddened, he could not choose his family background, but the sins of his previous life had to be borne by his children.Her eyes were red and she asked Qiufen to help Tanchun get up: "You are on the edge of a dead end. Getting married is not an ordinary marriage. Even if you marry far away, you will return home one day. But getting married is a lifetime thing. That place is ice and snow, words I don’t understand, I’m not used to eating, and once the court goes to war with them, how will you deal with yourself. Although I’m not your mother, I can’t watch you die. I absolutely refuse!”

Jia's mother was silent, while Tanchun was stubborn and persistent. At this time, Mrs. Xing said cleverly: "I think the girl probably feels that she has lost face. In fact, let me say that it doesn't matter who your mother is. This will be outside." It's a bit ugly to spread the rumors. But after a few years, who will hold on to it. Although you are older at that time, you may still get a good marriage. Or you are still angry, why don't you follow Miao It's fine if Yuqing has been cultivating for a few years, but if you take the lead to practice, just wait until you think about it and return to vulgarity."

Unexpectedly, Tanchun was persistent. She stood up and said to Jiamu and Zili, "I have never asked for anything from my wife and old lady in my life. Today I only ask for this one thing. If the old lady and my wife can stick to it If the old lady and the wife refuse to agree, I can't drag everyone down here anymore, and my father is talked about, and my grandmother is so big I still have to worry about the juniors at my age, and I don't want to see my wife sad for me."

Tanchun's expression was determined, and her tone of death as if at home gave Zili a bad premonition. "You are really stubborn, child. If that's the case, do as you please." Mother Jia agreed to Tanchun's request with a long sigh.

"Grandma, great joy, great joy! Someone from Jia's house said that the concubine would be invited to the banquet with you." The little girl rushed in all the way, startling Aunt Zhao. "You fucking little hoof, scare me!" Aunt Zhao's old Fang'er threw down her needlework, raised her eyebrows and started cursing.She scolded for a while before recovering, and immediately changed her color of joy, stood up, looked in the mirror, cleaned up her head and body, and said to the little girl, "Hurry up, let's go announce the good news to the princess."
