[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

Luo Chun stretched his legs and sat on the kang with his back leaning on the pillow, a book was casually spread on his lap, without turning a page for a long time.Xichun came in from the outside, saw this scene, raised her eyebrows in surprise, and said with a smile: "Yo, you still have books to read?" While talking, she sat down on the kang under Luochun's feet.

"How is it possible? Now, besides Baoyu, who else has books in our family? The old lady, the second uncle and the second aunt have already said that all the books in Baoyu's room are used for the imperial examination. We are not allowed to go there. Mess with him. If I say that, I dare not touch his book, or if I turn around and delay Baoyu's research, it will be my crime." Luochun showed the book on his lap to Xichun, and Xichun fixed his eyes At first glance, it turned out to be this almanac.

After seeing it clearly, Xichun couldn't help bursting out laughing, took the Huang Li in his hand, glanced at it, threw it to Luochun again, and said with a smile: "It's no wonder that you can find this out and use it to pass the time, it can be seen that you It's really boring."

Luochun caught the Huang Li that Xichun threw over, and said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with this thing. Look at the small characters written next to this day. Pros: traveling, breaking ground; Avoid: trading, marrying; it's pretty good when you look at it carefully." interesting."

"So you're looking at this." Xichun nodded suddenly, with an expression of "I understand" on his face, and said faintly: "Then when is the closest day to move, and the sixth sister can choose to come out?"

"Huh?" Luo Chun slanted his right eyebrow, looked at Xi Chun with puzzled eyes, and asked puzzledly: "What does the fourth sister mean by this? Why can't I understand? Why do I pick a date that is suitable for moving for no reason?" ?”

Xichun smiled slightly and said, "Sixth sister, why bother to hide it from me, isn't your family planning to move to the countryside soon? You don't want to pick a good day to move."

"It turned out that the fourth sister was talking about this. My mother has this plan, but the exact time has not been decided yet, and I am still discussing with my father. How did it become a few days ago? How did this pass? But the fourth sister is very well-informed." The news, my mother just thought about it, she just mentioned it to my father, and before I told the old lady, the fourth sister actually knew about it, the news spread really fast." Seeing Xichun, Luochun mentioned that their family was going to move. The news of going to the country was a bit unexpected, and I was very puzzled, because this matter was actually discussed by Mrs. Xing and the others in private, and they did not disclose it to the outside world, and there were no outsiders in the room when they were talking, so why did this news spread? open it?Even Xichun knew about it. I don't know if Jia's mother and the second room know about it?

Xichun guessed what she was thinking from the expression on Luochun's face, and said calmly: "The house is such a big place, you guys hide in the room to discuss, and you think it's very secret, but you don't know that the walls have ears. We all know, only you still think it’s a secret.”

Luo Chun couldn't help letting out a long breath when he heard the words, his expression was extremely depressed.What is this called? When I was in Jia's mansion, Jia's mansion was like a sieve. It couldn't hide any secrets, and if something happened, it would be spread throughout the house.Why did you come out? There are only four servants in the family, and two of them are cooks. Why can't they hide things?

"Sixth sister, can you take me with you when you leave?" Xichun's mouth moved a few times, hesitating and hesitating, and finally said her reason for coming.

Luochun was wondering why Jiamu and Erfang were so calm and silent when they heard the news that they were going to move to the countryside. When they heard what Xichun said about the medicine in the gourd , couldn't help opening his mouth in surprise: "Huh? You want to move to the countryside with us?"

"Yes." Xichun nodded vigorously, and said with certainty: "Yes, I'll be with you. Take me with you, okay?" Then the begging mode started.

Luochun took a deep look at Xichun, put away his straight legs, sat up straight, and said seriously: "Fourth sister, do you know what you are talking about? Life in the countryside is not what you imagined. It’s so poetic and picturesque, it’s boring, and in terms of food and clothing, it shouldn’t be as good as the life here..."

"I know, I know everything, I don't care even if I eat bran and swallow vegetables." Xichun interrupted her very simply, and said: "Even if life is a little bit sad, why should I stay here if I want to live a good life? Wouldn’t it be good to go back to Ningguo Mansion? The life over there is much better than here. I’m not afraid of suffering, I just don’t want to be like the girls in the brothel Chuguan outside, who are pushed out to show after guests come to the house, so that people can pick and choose pick."

Xichun also saw what Jiamu was up to, she didn't want to and was unwilling to follow Jiamu's arrangement, but she didn't have the confidence to disobey Jiamu, so she could only bow her head helplessly, but felt very humiliated in her heart.So when Xichun heard that Mrs. Xing and the others planned to move to the countryside, her heart moved, and she decided to leave with them, avoiding the right and wrong here.

Listening to Xichun, when the children of the aristocratic families that Jiamu made friends with in Baoyu came to visit, she introduced Yingchun and the others to them in the name of being good to the family, and compared the behavior of sitting by the side to the girls in the brothel and Chuguan outside. Guest, Mother Jia was compared to a madam, Luochun was stunned and didn't know what to say, after a while she found her voice and said, "Fourth Sister, why do you speak so meanly, and even take those lowly things for yourself?" Compared with other people? This, these two are different..."

Xichun sneered and interrupted her: "I don't see any difference, they're all for sale. If you want me to say it's not as good as those brothels and Chuguans, at least they are generous and have clearly marked prices, so it's for sale. And our side is covering up, half revealing, obviously being a bitch but still wanting to set up a chastity memorial archway..."

When Luochun saw Jiamu's behavior, sometimes she couldn't help thinking similar thoughts, but her comparison was better than Xichun's, she compared these people to pork sellers.Luo Chun really didn't expect Xi Chun to think so, and to say these words so bluntly in front of her.She hurriedly interrupted her: "I'm going to die, you just told me that walls have ears, and now you're saying this to me again, if someone overhears it and it reaches the old lady's ears, she won't eat you alive I'm the one to blame."

"Hmph! I'm not allowed to say what she does!" Xichun snorted coldly, pretending to be indifferent, but finally stopped talking, and stopped talking.

Seeing that she was stubborn, Luochun gave her a helpless look, and said, "You're a good girl who doesn't go out of the door, where did you learn these nonsense words?" Without waiting for Xichun to answer, She guessed it: "It must be from those servants. If the old lady knows that the servants she bought for a more comfortable life have taught the girls at home, she will be very upset."

"Whatever she thinks, anyway, I don't care." Xichun didn't deny Luochun's guess, and said, "Okay, let's stop gossip, let's get down to business, I just said that I want to move out with you, what do you mean ? Can you make a statement for me?"

Luochun put the Huang Li in his hand aside, and said: "I don't have any problems here, anyway, the family is not short of your food. It's just that it's useless for me to express my attitude. Can we move out smoothly? When will we move out?" Maybe? We haven’t figured it out yet, how can we take you away? Besides, even if our side is done, will the old lady let you go with us?”

Without waiting for Xichun to speak, she said again: "Since you have spoken so bluntly just now, I won't hide it from you anymore. I don't believe it. At this time, you don't know why the old lady agreed. You stay, instead of sending you back to your brother's house according to the second aunt's wishes, don't tell me that Aunt Jing entrusted you to the old lady on her deathbed, and the old lady pity you early in order to live up to your mother's entrustment. You lost your mother, your father became a monk, and your brother and sister-in-law are unreliable, and you ran to her and begged her, so she left you behind for such a shitty reason. In fact, we all know the real reason. The reason is just one word—money. The old lady is going to ask you for support like your brother and sister-in-law. If you leave, what will she ask them for money? You know the current situation at home. It's embarrassment. The old lady is old and smart, and she is making long-term plans. She will not speak loudly to your brother and the others, but with the current family situation, your brother and the others can leak a little bit through their fingers, which is enough for the family to live on. Do you think that under such circumstances, the old lady will let your 'cash cow' go?"

Xichun pursed her lips, and said very resolutely: "I don't care, anyway, I must go with you." Luochun sighed and said: "What's the use of you being stubborn with me, what I say doesn't count The old lady is determined not to let you go. Even if you make a big fuss, it's useless. After all, we don't have the position to intervene in your matter. If one fails, it may cause trouble so that we can't leave in the end. "

Hearing this, Xichun's eyes immediately turned red, and she choked up with sobs, "Don't worry, Sixth Sister, I won't make you tired. I don't believe it. A living person can be suffocated by urine. At worst, I'm still going to die."

"Hey, don't." Although Luochun didn't know whether Xichun was telling the truth or threatening her with death, she still hurriedly stopped her: "What's the matter with death, how can you say such words casually? Four Sister, how old are you, how can you talk about life and death so lightly? As the saying goes, "It's better to live than to die". Besides, since you have the courage to seek death, what difficulties in this world can't be overcome? Old lady What is the reason for keeping you by your side, you know very well, can't you use your brain to think of a way to make the old lady let go?"

Xichun's eyes lit up when she heard Luochun's reminder, she burst into tears and smiled, and said sincerely: "Thank you, sixth sister, fourth sister owes you again." After speaking, she left like a gust of wind.
