Daiyu's wife in the Red Chamber

Then, Baoyu looked through the other boxes. The gold and silver boxes inside were still mixed together, almost all of them were half and half of gold and silver. There was no more gold and less silver, and it was not like the first one he saw There is less gold and more silver in the box.It is expected that although Xiren used some in private, it was not very outrageous. If so, those golden scorpions can do a lot of things.

As far as he knew from Lin Tao, one tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, gold coins are six cents a piece, and four is two taels of four, which can be exchanged for 24 taels of silver, which is enough to buy a lot of food and clothing. Money that can't be earned in a year.

Baoyu once looked at the gold and silver locks he had got. The silver was three gold and seven gold. Most of the silver locks were given along with the gold, but now they are less than five or five.

Even though Baoyu has the heart to live and die with Xiren, he always tolerates Xiren's temper to him, but every time he thinks that all kinds of things are related to Xiren, he can't be the slightest master when he should be entrusted with money. The fault and the act of attacking people made Xiangyun have to marry far away, and thought of the night banquet in Yihong Courtyard that year, when everyone was drunk, it was clear that Xiren supported Fang Guan to lie on the same couch with him, but the next day he said that Fang The official didn't choose a place to stand up. At that time, Baoyu went to bed early and didn't know it, but later on, he heard people say it behind his back.

Baoyu stared at the gold and silver locks in the box, and her mind returned to the day when she heard the gossip. Ouguan said to Fangguan: "I didn't get drunk that day. You used to sleep on sister Xiren. For some reason, Sister Xiren put you on Baoyu's side and slept on the couch opposite, not afraid that you would spoil Baoyu with wine, but the next day would blame you for not choosing a place, how strange it is."

Ou Guan and Fang Guan, who has now been converted into Venus Glass, have been in the troupe since childhood. Although they are young and mischievous, they are well-informed and have scheming skills. Without these, they would have been eaten alive.

After being mentioned by the lotus official, the two sisters secretly attacked people from afar, always paying attention to avoid talking.

Ouguan and Fangguan were young, and although they acted mischievously after entering the garden, they never offended her. Why did she act like this?Can't you help Fangguan to the couch where you sleep?That's all for nothing, why bother talking about it in front of people?If she doesn't say anything, others will just pretend to be drunk and sleep indiscriminately. When she mentions it, someone will remember it in their hearts.Is it just because Fangguan looks better than others?

Baoyu just felt shuddering, there were some things in his yard that he couldn't help pretending not to know, and he couldn't help thinking that Xiren was originally a servant girl given by the old lady, how did he win her favor?What happened to make the wife suddenly value her?

I didn't care about it before, because I didn't know people's hearts. At that time, Baoyu had no ability to inquire, so she couldn't help looking for Xichun.

Before going to Xichun, he was afraid that he might be mistaken for Xiren, so Baoyu secretly ordered Mingyan to sneak into Qingwen's brother-in-law's home, where the lees were rotten. There is not even a serious tea bowl, let alone other things. After Baoyu heard this, he knew it in his heart.According to the news he heard on a daily basis, those girls often get a lot of money by messing around with others, which is not as good as attacking others.

He went to look for Xichun, but he was afraid that Xiren would see the clue, so he said he wanted to ask Xichun how to make the broken gold into a golden boy and jade girl. All the way into the lotus root Champs.

Xichun has been with Daiyu for a long time, and the news has always been well informed. She knows many things that she doesn't know, and because she has always taken care of her in the past few years, she is quite favored by her. Withdrew, and then explained his intentions in the future, and said with tears: "I don't know what to do. I don't care about the money. I let the servant girl play cards with her. Her family is poor, so she took a few taels of silver back. It's also an act of filial piety for the family to subsidize mother and brother, but what's the point of hiding it from me? I didn't say no to her. If it wasn't for my sudden whim to check the accounts, I'm afraid I wouldn't know these things for the rest of my life."

Xichun put down the book in his hand, and said sarcastically: "Second brother, there are many things you don't know, if you cry over this little thing, don't listen to other things, lest your tears flood my lotus root fragrance There is already a lot of water around the lotus root and Xiangxie.”

After hearing this, Baoyu wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and begged, "My dear sister, tell me everything you know, and tell me to be a sensible person."

But Xichun smiled and said: "So what if you know? You don't know, and just pretend it never happened. You know, how will you face your Aunt Hua in the future? She is a virtuous person praised by everyone in the house."

Baoyu said: "Even so, I can't be called a fool. I know what she has done, and I know it well. I will keep it from her in the future, so as not to trouble others. Good sister, if you say the word virtuous I can't find one in the mansion, not to mention anything else, how can the matter of ordering sister Yun to do needlework be done by people who abide by their duties? The old lady and sister Lin don't wear clothes made by outsiders, but I have never seen Sister Yuanyang and Zijuan instructing others to do work."

Xichun looked him up and down for a moment, with a hint of approval in her eyes, and said, "I thought you'd been so confused all your life, but I never thought you'd figure it out today. If you ask, I'll tell you that we can't tell you anything about our family. Don't be intimidated, anyway, I just inquired about it, it's up to you to tell if it's true or not."

Baoyu sat upright and listened attentively.

Seeing this, Xichun couldn't hold back a smile, and said: "You ask me how Xiren got the second wife's favor, and I have to start talking about that year when you were beaten." Then he put Xiren in front of Mrs. Wang There was a lot of talk in a few words.

She didn't ask about this at that time, but after many years in Daiyu's room, she occasionally thought of it and wondered how she could win Mrs. Wang's favor as Jia Mu's maidservant, so Daiyu told her about it.When she asked, Daiyu had already read the manuscript sent by Wei Ruolan, and she knew it far more clearly than what she inquired about. She almost told Xichun what she said, and she didn't even say that Miss Lin and Miss Bao are two aunts and cousins. Variety.Although Daiyu didn't live in the garden at that time, she was not yet engaged, and Baoyu loved to make trouble with her, so she was afraid of attackers.

After Xichun finished speaking, she took a sip of tea, looked at the stunned Baoyu, and said, "People say you deserve this beating. You can hear her words are ridiculous. She said that those people are willing to get close to you, and I can't blame you for being like this. It's not good for them to persuade you. You hang out with the girls and push all the crimes on others, and you are innocent. You really are a loyal and reliable girl. Listen to what she said later, Sister Bao is a wife A niece of a direct relative, what does she mean by putting Sister Lin first? Fortunately, Sister Lin was always far away from you at that time, and she didn't live in the Grand View Garden, and she got married early afterwards, otherwise I don't know what will happen. "

Baoyu was so startled that she didn't know what to say. Her heart seemed to be soaked in the icy water of nine cold days, and she couldn't warm up after a long time. She said in a trembling voice: "She said this in front of my wife? She persuaded my wife to ask me to move out of the garden and leave the garden behind." It’s not wrong to take precautions. I’ve already hurt Sister Yun once because of my ignorance, but why did she bother with innocent people? After what she said, she became a good person. Others are close to me to seduce me to be mischievous I'm afraid that my wife has already blamed the girls around me who often play jokes with me."

Xichun smiled and said: "You actually thought of this? Sure enough, you are not confused. The second wife loves you like that. In the second wife's heart, there is nothing wrong with you. Whenever you do bad things, others will lead you into ruin. Wait and see, sooner or later, except for Xi Ren and She Yue Qiuwen and the others, all the girls around you will be unlucky."

Baoyu suddenly remembered what happened to Jin Chuan'er, and his heart was filled with regret. If what happened to Xiangyun was his own fault, then what happened to Jin Chuan'er was also his own fault. It was also from then on that he knew that his mother's thunderous anger was so great. Shocking, no longer dare to be frivolous with others.

Thinking of this, he wept and said, "It turns out that I am the culprit."

Xichun took another sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said, "It's good that you know it. In fact, many things are not your fault, but they are all related to you, so they are your crimes. If it wasn't for you, how could Xiren go to the second place?" My wife confessed her loyalty to you? When she is far away from you, she looks more self-respecting and self-respecting, and the more frivolous the people who are close to you are. The closer you are, the more crimes you will be accused of."

Thinking of the years of carelessness, Baoyu blushed abnormally, and said to herself that Qingwen's self-respect and self-respect are appropriate, but Xiren is not worthy of this sentence.When he was young, he raped others because of his curiosity, and he was taught by Jing Huan. Now that he is getting older, he will feel something is wrong every time he thinks about it. He will not be very forceful. If she refuses, he will definitely not force She does it.And if she hadn't opened her mouth to ask carefully after changing clothes, I would have been ashamed at that time, so I wouldn't have talked to her at all.At that time, no one bumped into her, and later tried it secretly many times, all of which were extremely tender and sweet, Qingwen saw some clues, and robbed her many times.

Baoyu suddenly became worried about Qingwen. Qingwen looks beautiful and speaks frankly. Young girls and women.If one day someone accuses Mrs. Wang, wouldn't Qingwen be in danger?

Telling Xichun about this worry, Baoyu was restless, and sighed: "After Xiren came back from the funeral that year, Qingwen was always in my room to accompany me at night, but she herself kept far away from me. It’s definitely not in the eyes of those people.”

Xichun smiled and said, "Since Xiren is illiterate, and yet he knows how to prevent problems before they happen, don't you understand this truth?"

Baoyu bowed his head in thought.

Xichun didn't bother him, and poured tea by herself. The weather was so hot that the water in the teapot was not cold for half a day.

About a quarter of an hour later, Baoyu raised his head and poured himself a bowl of tea to eat. After eating, he said in a low voice, "I've kept it in my heart, and I will pay attention to it later. It's strange that Sister Lin left such a house for me. Does she know that I will be useful in the future?"

Xichun was stunned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Baoyu sighed and said, "Xiren belongs to my wife. I can't send her away. I want to send her out. If my wife loses her ear, she will definitely not follow her. Maybe many things will be involved. Although Xiren is disgusting, But it is not a crime. Her family is so poor that her parents are starving to death. After all, it is her filial piety to help the family. The wife can't tolerate sand in her eyes, and knows that Xiren's doing these things must be like treating Jin Chuan It's the same. I've already felt sorry for Jin Chuan'er, so why bother to cause the attacker to lose her life? Wait, when I can make the decision, I will send her out to marry someone, and it will be considered a full of past affection. As for Qingwen Those people, it’s better if there is no accident. If something happens, I have the house that Sister Lin entrusted me to take care of. At least I can give them a place to stay. Most of them have lost their parents and relatives. I don’t worry if I sell them the benefits. They are good at sewing, and they can live by selling needles like Yinglian’s mother and daughter, and they can get by. If they talk about a marriage tomorrow, they will have their own home. "

Speaking of his plan, Baoyu exhaled a long breath, like Mo Huaxing's eyebrows and eyes, there was a faint resoluteness that even he didn't know, and he said with tears: "I can pick out people who are not right around me." , only Qingwen, Fangguan and Si'er, needless to say Qingwen, Fangguan is young and good-looking, so she is smarter, and Ouguanyi is strong and oppressive, and Si'er was promoted when Xiren and I were angry that year Those who come up to do fine work will have nothing else to do. As for Sheyue Qiuwen, the former is openly another Xiren, and the latter are both Xiren's cultivation and education, so naturally no one can pick out the wrong one, so there is no need to worry."

Xichun wondered: "According to what Second Brother said, you don't intend to keep them?"

Baoyu said seriously: "How can I be worthy of their cleanliness with such a filthy man? I can't let me make them tired and end up like Jin Chuan'er. In that case, I would really be a sinner through the ages. Besides, apart from Xiren, I never thought about keeping them here, I said I would release them when they grow up."

Xichun listened, nodded and remained silent.

Baoyu said again: "My good sister, tell me about other things. After you finish talking, I will go and apologize to Yu Chuan'er. I didn't think it was okay before, but now that I think about it, I can't pretend it never happened. "

Even though Yu Chuan'er no longer blamed him when eating the lotus leaf soup, he felt sorry for it.

Xichun's spirit was shaken, she usually confides to Daiyu what she inquired about, after confiding, she always feels very happy in her heart, since Daiyu left, she endured it for almost two months, except occasionally complaining to Sister Feng Except for some things, I have never had a good time at ordinary times. Baoyu asked today, and she immediately picked some things about Baoyu and the people around him to tell her. Moisturize her mouth.

However, through Xichun's mouth, Baoyu learned a lot of secrets about things that were previously incomprehensible, and he was like a soul. At that time, he slumped down in the chair, and said: "It turns out that the two brothers Fu Shi came to our house today, and they wanted to marry the third sister. They were so rude. How could such a family be worthy of the third sister? Fortunately, the master refused. It's just that some daughter in the future will suffer and fall into a pit like the Fu's."

Xichun smiled lightly, thinking that Jia Zheng's refusal of the Fu family's request for marriage was not because the Fu family was miserable, but because he didn't take advantage of Tanchun to gain great benefits.It's ridiculous to think about it carefully, as humble and kind as a political lord, all of his disciples are unbearable people, the only similarity is that these people are sweet-talking and good at compliments.

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang are really a couple made in heaven. They have the same temperament. They have stayed together for more than [-] years and have never blushed once. Can't fault it.

Within a few days, it was heard that Mrs. Wang was a matchmaker, and Fu Gui, the younger brother of Fu Shi, was engaged to a young lady from the Jinxiang Hou's mansion.

Fu Quan's appointment has also come down, but he is the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, and he is a second-rank official.

It has been a few days since Wei Ruolan and Daiyu sent people back to Beijing. These two people inquired about the recent news, and after finishing what Wei Ruolan told them, they went to see Jiang Hua, Han Qi and others in person. There was a suspicion, only Han Qi was more haggard, and he took the letter and other things that Xichun ordered Lin Tao to hand over, and then left the capital, rushing to catch up with Wei Ruolan and the others.

At that time, they had already entered the boundary of Ping'an Prefecture, and there was only one or two days' journey to the state capital of Ping'an Prefecture.

Wei Ruolan and the others did not encounter bandits along the way, but they did not dare to take it lightly. They had a lot of people and luggage, and they brought gold, silver, property, books, etc., and a lot of food, just in case. It was Daiyu who was afraid that there would be a temporary lack of food and clothing in the Ping'an Prefecture military camp, so the gold, silver and food she brought would definitely come in handy.Therefore, when vehicles loaded with gold and silver belongings pass by, they leave deep tracks, and any experienced gangster must know what is in the vehicle.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark and the posthouses were dilapidated, Wei Ruolan ordered people to camp in the posthouse courtyard. The guards were heavily guarded everywhere, and it was easy to tidy up, and called the servants who had just followed up to question.

Because Daiyu was also in the camp, after the servants delivered letters and other things, they answered through the curtain and left.

Daiyu then opened Xichun's letter. In the letter, apart from the Fu family's proposal to marry Tanchun, who was rejected by Jia Zheng and ordered Mrs. Wang to be a matchmaker for the Fu family, etc., Baoyu suddenly realized that she knew the nature of the people around her. Wanting to use the yard she left for him to take in Qingwen and others who will encounter accidents in the future, Xichun's words are full of teasing.

After reading it, Daiyu couldn't help being surprised, she told Wei Ruolan in detail, and said, "I didn't expect Baoyu to think of this, it seems that there is no need to worry about Second Aunt punishing those beautiful girls around him."

Wei Ruolan laughed and said: "Brother Bao was originally born with wisdom, otherwise why would the spirit of Ning Rong and Duke Ning entrust his lifelong wish?"

Daiyu remembered what Fairy Jinghuan said, and smiled.

After the couple had dinner, they gave orders to each other. At three o'clock, when they were asleep, Wei Ruolan suddenly opened his eyes, and a sneer flashed across his lips. The bandits here were really daring to do it at night.
