Daiyu's wife in the Red Chamber

It turned out that after Mrs. Wang saw Qingwen that day and was annoyed, the people at the bottom knew it after guessing. They secretly chanted Buddha and took advantage of the situation to report to Mrs. Wang those girls who were at odds with her in the garden. Not only Yihongyuan, but Qing Wen, the Ruiguan of Hengwuyuan was also among them, and some people pointed out that Baoyu was too old, and he had already solved the personnel affairs, and told the girls in the house not to grow up. I kept it in my heart, endured the Mid-Autumn Festival, and went to the garden to check and check it myself, and all those who did not agree were expelled.

Needless to say, Qingwen was kicked out directly, and she was the one who sued her the most.Si'er is because she and Baoyu have a birthday on the same day, and she once told Baoyu that the same birthday is husband and wife.Because she instigated Baoyu to do everything, Fangguan ordered her godmother to take her out and marry her by herself, and the other girls who sang operas did the same.

Xiao Hongyuan worked in Yihong Courtyard for a few months, although she was often insulted by the big girls, she was very good with the little girls, she came in a hurry, spoke in a hurry, and she was as clean as jade beads falling on a jade plate, clear and clear Chu, crisp and crisp, told the story of Yihongyuan.

Jia Lian and Sister Feng were startled and laughed unconsciously. Jia Lian asked, "Grandma, you often say that your family is rich, and I've seen your dowry too. It's really more than my savings. The second wife was born in In the past, I was afraid that she would win, but why is she so stingy today, that even the rewards for clothes and hairpins that the girl has accumulated over the years are withheld and not asked to take them out?"

Sister Feng also felt that Mrs. Wang was being too stingy. Even her aunt and nephew would not be able to speak for her, so she gave Jia Lian an angry look and said, "Ask me? How do I know?"

Xiaohong added: "Fangguan and the others have all their belongings taken away by them."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "You child, it's better if you don't talk about it. If you talk about it, it will make me speechless. You have been with me for a few years, do you know that the eldest maid gets more rewards? Qingwen entered the mansion at the age of ten. With the old lady, followed by Baoyu, the old lady liked her, and Baoyu indulged him. Over the past few years, he had at least a few hundred taels of money. The monthly money of Fangguan and others was taken by the godmother. "

Jia Lian shook his head and said, "I have nothing to say about what the second wife has done. It's strange, why is everyone wrong? Is there an attacker next to Du Baoyu? If Baoyu is said to be seduced, others can still Innocent, this person is not the only one."

Sister Feng gave him a sideways look, and said, "Why does Second Master even know this?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "there are so many young men in the family who talk dirty a lot. They often gossip about the house in front of me when they are free. How can they not know? That's why I feel strange and serious. The girl who seduced Baoyu will not be dismissed."

Sister Feng lowered her head and thought, and said: "In a family like ours, Baoyu is not in his teens. Seriously, after his 16th birthday, he will be 17 years old. It is reasonable to have two people in front of him. Besides, Mrs. I have always trusted Xiren, I never thought that Xiren would do those things, if I knew that we were together a few years ago, I would not be so angry."

Jia Lian said: "Baoyu is a good person. Whenever he goes out to buy some exquisite things, he never forgets to bring some for sister Qiao and brother Xuan. It's just that the girls around him are either better at pinching the tip, or working on it. Scheming, or bullying, it’s hard to say.”

But Sister Feng laughed and said, "The word Peugeot is more important than others. Who expects maids to be good and virtuous?"

She took a sip from the teacup handed by Xiaohong, and said with a smile: "I used to be foolish and tolerated Ping'er. Fortunately, Ping'er was loyal and went out without any problems. Now I have sons and daughters, and life is very good. Then Is this person who is not like me, who is serious in reading, rational, dignified, virtuous and profound in etiquette, able to accommodate people in the house who have the same virtuous name as her? Just wait and see, after passing the door, there will be some excitement."

Jia Lian couldn't help laughing and said: "The immediate matter has not been resolved yet, so you can think about the long-term. But that's okay, our family doesn't know what the future will be, so we leave one by one. Grandma Ming'er just spent some time thinking and gave them all the deeds of sale. It can be regarded as accumulating virtue for children.”

Coincidentally, Qingwen and a group of opera actors were all bought from outside. Once the deeds of prostitution are returned, they will be good citizens.

Sister Feng made sense after thinking about it, and said: "What the second master said is that I didn't think of it here. Others just pay it back. Qingwen's girl should give it to her. This girl is nostalgic. She is not a fickle person. They all praised her."

Turning to Xiaohong, he said, "Go to your parents, just tell me what I mean, find out the deeds of sale of Qingwen and others, and give it to Baoyu yourself, don't hide it, let him find someone to sell it for these girls." It is a good thing to ask your father to take care of the cooking if you really can't find anyone. You have been with me for so many years, and you are a smart person. You probably have some clues, so I let you go out Well, in the future, your parents will naturally be released. If your parents are willing to take advantage of the power of the big housekeeper and retire at the end of the year, I will release your family's slave status. As for your relatives, don't even think about it. You talk too much."

Xiao Hong has been appreciating the behavior of Jia Lian and Sister Feng, and has been suspicious for a long time in her heart. Occasionally, she can hear a few words from Jia Lian and Sister Feng, and she understands a little bit more, but she dare not ask in detail. Now that she hears Sister Feng's words, she is immediately grateful , said: "For so many years, my parents have already saved enough money for retirement, and I am the only daughter, so why not bear it? Tell my parents when you go back."

When they went home and told their parents what Sister Jia Lian and Feng had said, Lin Zhixiao and his wife felt turbulent in their hearts, but their faces were very calm. They nodded and said, "I understand. In the future, you will take good care of Second Grandma. This is our family's great benefactor."

Xiaohong took the deed of prostitution of Qingwenfang Guan Ouguan and others, and went to Yihong Courtyard to look for Baoyu.

Mrs. Wang came prepared. At this time, she was searching Baoyu's things all over the house. She ordered people to collect and roll up all the things that were slightly unfamiliar, and took them to her room. Xiren Sheyue waited for a while, and went elsewhere without eating tea.

Baoyu had expected and made arrangements for a long time, but he didn't realize that suddenly, when Mrs. Wang was furious, he simply kept silent and let it go.After sending Mrs. Wang away and returning to Yihong Courtyard, seeing Xiren weeping there, she couldn't help sneering, went to get the key to open the cabinet, and found the gold and silver carcases left over from the golden birthday star given to Jia Mu, and ordered the man to say: "Go Ask Mingyan to come over and listen to orders."

The tears on Xiren's face were still wet. Seeing that Baoyu was not crying or making trouble, he wondered in his heart, "Second Master, what is this for? Second Master, you cry out when you feel sad. Don't be bored and get sick. Listen to me, Qingwen is already healed, she will go to her family and raise her quietly for a few days. You can't bear her, wait for the madam to calm down, and then beg the old lady, it will not be difficult to ask her to come in again. It's just that my wife accidentally believed someone's slander, and that's all for a while."

Baoyu didn't cry or make trouble, and said, "It's strange, Qingwen was so sick that she couldn't get up on the kang, and the water and rice hadn't touched her teeth for four or five days. How could it be healed in your mouth? I don't even know that Qingwen made a mistake. What a heinous crime! You don’t even have to wear big clothes to go out.”

When Xiren heard Baoyu's words suddenly, he had the intention of blaming himself. He didn't feel terrified. He only explained Baoyu's last sentence and replied, "Madam only thinks she was born too well, so she is a bit frivolous. Besides, Madam knows very well." Such a beautiful woman must be quiet, so if you hate her, it would be better if we were born clumsy and clumsy."

Baoyu sneered three times in succession, and said: "It turns out that the skin my parents gave me is too beautiful. It would be a great sin if I didn't do anything! You don't have to say these things in front of me, and you don't have to say that I have always said something stubborn in private. Taboo, no matter whether there is someone or not, only let people know and tell your wife. If that's the case, you can't escape it. Didn't you and She Yueqiuwen and I never talk obstinately privately? I said before, why didn’t anyone tell my wife? I know right and wrong, why everyone’s wife knows, but I don’t single out you and Sheyue Qiuwen, I probably know something.”

Hearing what Baoyu said, Xiren's heart moved, and he felt horrified again. He bowed his head and thought for a long time, but he was speechless. Why did my wife forget where Meng Lang went? I think there are other things, and I don't know if we will release them after we are done."

Baoyu laughed and said, "Don't worry, you can rest assured. You are such a good and virtuous person, a good man known to everyone, and you were the one who cultivated and educated you. My wife only thinks that you are loyal and loyal." , even I am not as knowledgeable as you. I regard you as my own flesh and blood, and I don’t think you deserve to be punished by Meng Lang. Anyone who is wrong is someone else, not you! It’s not so much that there is wrong, it’s better to say that they have seized the position , or blocked the road, only today."

After finishing speaking, Mingyan had arrived, just in time to see Xiren stunned.

Baoyu told Sheyue to say, "Keep Qingwen's things secret, pack them up quietly, and ask Mingyan to take them to Qingwen, and I have some gold and silver prunes left here and give them to her." , please ask the doctor to take medicine to recuperate."

After hearing this, Xiren hurriedly said, "Where is the need for the second master to order? I really thought of us so heartlessly. I have already packed all her clothes, bedding, dowry and other things. Put it there, there are many people in the daytime, and it is easy to cause trouble when you see it, so it is better to quietly send Song Ma to take it out for her at night. I still have a few dongs of money I have saved and give it to her."

Baoyu looked at her for a long time, and said, "I don't know how you managed to manage it after I sent my wife back for a while. Could it be possible that you have three heads and six arms working together? You don't have to say these lies in front of me. I know You guys didn’t pack, thinking about delivering it at night, if you have time to pack it up, you can please me in front of me. It’s just that I know in my heart whether it’s good or bad, so I don’t need to say it. If I don’t mention it, I’m afraid Just listen to your wife's instructions and leave it to the good girls to wear."

She asked Sheyue to fold things, but they were all unpacked. Qingwen was carried out when she was lying on the kang, and the bedding was still warm. Just as Xiaohong came over, she handed a box to Baoyu. It was a stack of deeds of prostitution, and the first one belonged to Qingwen.

Little red eyes slid over the faces of everyone in the room, and found that it was different from before, she understood seven or eight points in her heart, and said with a smile: "Grandma said that since she sent it, she might as well send it away cleanly, and ask my father to find Qingwen." The second master tried his best to cancel the contracts of these few people, even if they are godmothers, brothers and sisters-in-law, not relatives, and they are all slaves of our family, so it is not good to buy and sell good people, this is grandma's wish."

Baoyu said happily, "Well done. I'm worrying about this matter. Qingwen's brother-in-law, Fangguan Ouguan and others' godmothers, which one is a good thing? Especially the godmothers of Fangguan and others, who took Fangguan Even if she washes her hair, she asks her daughter first to let Fangguan use the rest, which shows that her heart is picky and vicious. This time they are going out this time, I don’t know how they will take Fangguan and other people to relieve their anger. With this , I will ask Mingyan to sell them for them, and then send them back to their hometown to find their parents, instead of staying here and letting the godmother decide the marriage."

After Mingyan listened to it, she had already received Baoyu's very confidential instructions, and at this moment she also understood, so she hurriedly took the things that Sheyue had folded and Baoyu's handed over gold and silver locks, and slipped quietly through the back door. Go out to cook.

Xiren couldn't stop him, so he could only watch helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Second master is like this, doesn't it mean that he is dissatisfied with his wife?"

Baoyu said: "Don't worry, they are all sent out. I didn't call into the garden. How can I say that I am dissatisfied with my wife? But remember the old relationship and make some arrangements. As long as you don't say to return Qingwen's things to her, The wife won't know."

The attacker had nothing to answer after hearing this.

Mingyan went to the yamen to sell the deeds of sale of Qingwen and others, and applied for a new household registration. Because she took money to manage the business, it was done very quickly. The address was the house that Daiyu left for Baoyu, and Qingwen was also transferred I put the things in the house and asked the old lady at the gate to tidy up the decorations, and then went to Qingwen's house to pick her up to recuperate.

Qingwen's elder brother and sister-in-law are such a mess and a girl. The couple don't care about these things. They smell Mingyan and put Qingwen in another place, and please don't let others know. They don't want to support the sick and only wear close-fitting clothes. When Qingwen came back, she complied with Mingyan's request. When others asked her, they said that Qingwen had no life to be a good citizen, but she died of an illness. These were the exact words Qingwen exhorted.

Then Mingyan went to find Fangguan, Ouguan, Ruiguan and others. When they learned of Baoyu's arrangement, they were both surprised and happy. They were all unwilling. They packed their luggage and said that they went back to their hometown to find their parents. Mingyan was watching Even if those godmothers are unwilling, they have no choice but to obey.

These eight or nine girls did not expect that they would be able to escape from the evil hands of their godmothers. Although they lost the monthly money from the past few years, they brought all their bedding and clothes, and they were safe, so they got together and surrounded Qing Wen cried and laughed, and Fangguan said with tears: "My good sister, take care of yourself quickly, and we will wait for my sister to take us."

Qingwen struggled, panting and said: "Don't worry, I won't die. I have to live well, and I can't let down Baoyu's arrangement. Let's all be well and see what happens to those who hurt us!"

The girls nodded fiercely, and Qingwen felt angry in her bones, and she felt relieved the next day, and she went on a diet and took medicine, and gradually recovered.

Baoyu came to visit secretly, and without waiting for his suggestion, after recovering from illness, Qingwen took all the girls to make needlework and sell it to a nearby embroidery shop, especially her needlework was excellent, and she earned a lot of money, she didn't just sit and eat.Afterwards, they learned to wash clothes and cook from the woman who guarded the door. Although the sisters were disgraced at first, they gradually became able to cook simple meals.

Baoyu said with relief: "Seeing you like this, I feel relieved. If there is anything that can't be solved, I will send my mother-in-law to the back door to find Mingyan. I will help you when I know it. Just don't let the mansion know. I will also help you." Keep it from the old lady."

Qingwen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Er Ye, we will be fine."

Suddenly, one day when she was selling needlework, she ran into Qianxue, who was kicked out by Baoyu because of Fenglu tea for breaking a teacup. She had already married and had children. And I won't mention it at this time.

Baoyu left the residence of Qingwen and the others to go home, and went to look for Xichun, but Xichun was not at home, and Ruhua, who was guarding the door, said, "Miss, I went to look for Second Mistress Lian. I don't know what's the matter."

After hearing this, Baoyu turned and left.

Looking at Baoyu's back in the painting, thinking of the bloody storm in the garden, Mrs. Wang drove away Jia Lan's new nanny after Yihong Courtyard Qingwen Sier Fangguan and others, and searched Yihong Courtyard. What should I do if I hide the gold, silver and other objects handed over by my brother so that others will know?Busy taking advantage of Xichun's absence, quietly asked someone to inform his elder brother, and asked someone to take it out and hand it to him according to the original method. Fortunately, no one found out.

But when Baoyu came to Sister Feng's door, he had to lift his feet to go in. Jiamu sent a girl to call, so he had to go to the room first and tell Sister Feng about Qingwen's safety and so on when he turned around, so he could rest assured.

In the house, Sister Feng heard that Baoyu had come and left, but she didn't take it seriously. She said to Xichun, "My dear sister, Sister Lin couldn't let you go when she left. I don't need to say more about what kind of character your brother and sister-in-law are, so I have to go I'm here to worry about my younger sister's lifelong event. The second younger sister is about to give birth, the third younger sister will enter the palace to be elected, and the younger sister is left alone, what do you think?"

Xichun listened silently, neither sad nor happy, and when she finished listening, she suddenly said: "A few days ago, Zhen's family was confiscated, so the crimes were charged, sister-in-law said, what will happen to our family?"

Sister Feng was stunned and asked, "What does sister mean?"

Xichun looked up at the dust on the carved beams for a while, then looked back at Sister Feng, and said very calmly: "Now I have figured out that my brother and sister-in-law will bring out most of the house, land and mother's things to Sister Lin. The intention of the court. Our family has always been one loss and one prosperity. Since the Zhen family was defeated, how could our family have a reason to escape? It may not mean that the crime is less than the Zhen family. This is the case in this mansion, let alone the East mansion? Reputation It's like that again, the smell is unbearable. Therefore, I don't know what the future will hold, so I don't want to bring trouble to others."

Sister Feng was amazed at Xichun's keenness, thinking of Jia Zhensu's character in Ningguo Mansion, she was indeed worthy of the word stinking, she couldn't help laughing and said: "Listen to what you said, can't a girl whose mother's family is defeated can't talk about kissing?" Can't get married? Why is it tiring or not? Who can guarantee that the man's family will be prosperous and rich for a lifetime? Don't think too much about everything. Thinking too much will scare yourself. It's like Miss Zhang's family who just married Zhen Baoyu, who was very proud at the time. You thought you were rich, how are you doing now? You have become the family of a prisoner. As a girl, as long as you leave the cabinet, as long as your natal family does not commit the crime of treason, no matter what crime you commit, you will not be involved, you will not be involved, you will not be involved The husband's family is different for those who marry in, they have always been punished with their husband's family."

But Xichun said: "Even so, I still don't want to discuss marriage. The second sister-in-law should not bring up this matter in the future. Anyway, my brother and sister-in-law will not urge you. If they are good, they may be able to talk about a marriage that does not offend. Live your life beautifully, why bother to find someone like me, if your natal family will be convicted of crimes in the future, those crimes will follow you like a shadow, and you will not be able to lift your head for the rest of your life."

Sister Feng laughed and sighed again, and said, "Why is your temper turned to the left? Before you left, your sister told me to take care of this matter for you. Sister Qiao is young and I can't help it. You are just the right age." , I don't want you to disagree."

Xichun smiled and said, "I know that Sister Lin is good for me, but my temperament is like this, what's the matter?"

Her refusal to discuss a marriage was not a whim. Ever since Zhen's family ransacked her home, she suddenly figured out what Sister Jialian and Feng's actions were, and she began to plan in her heart, and she made up her mind several days later.

Sister Feng stretched out her hand to pat her, and said: "What can I do? How dare I do? I can't always hold you back, and I can't forcefully make decisions for you without drinking water. It's not good to marry by force. If something goes wrong, don't blame me for not reminding you today. At that time, if you just want to say goodbye, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

Xichun grinned, and said: "I am the master, and I will be responsible for my gains and losses in the future. Why blame you? If it weren't for the fact that Buddhism is not clean, I would rather become a monk. It's a pity."

Sister Feng gave her another blow, and said, "Don't mention these things again, and I will beat you if you do."

Xichun dodged it, and asked with a smile, "When will my sister-in-law deliver letters to Sister Lin? I wrote a lot of letters, but I couldn't send them. I put them in a box. I have a lot to say to Sister Lin."

Sister Feng said: "You don't want to talk about marriage. You have to let sister Lin know about this matter, and send a letter in the past two days. Although Ping'an Prefecture is a bit chaotic, those robbers only robbed the property of merchants, officials, or ordinary people. Food, what's the use of grabbing a few letters? Our family and the Pingan Prefecture Jiedushi used to have some friendship, so we can send them easily. Before you write a letter, check to see if there is anything important that cannot be leaked. Let's talk about Zhen's family being copied It’s all right, but we can’t mention the dangers of our family.”

Xichun smiled and said: "I understand, the letter just wrote about what happened in our mansion, or inquired about some minor matters of each family in the capital, which has nothing to do with the court's major affairs." She already knew from Lin Tao's family that it was safe The situation in the state is precarious, so how can you not care about these things? I sent the letter at night and opened it to read with Sister Feng first. It really is all trivial matters.

The next day, Sister Jia Lianfeng also repaired a letter, sealed it together with Xichun and Qiaojie's in a box, and ordered someone to send it over quickly. I originally wanted to send it along with the Double Ninth Festival, but Ping'an Prefecture is too chaotic. Get robbed.

When Baoyu heard about it, he hurriedly wrote a letter and took it with him.
