The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 138 Love at first sight, second sister, tempted

Mrs. You is You's stepmother. This half-old lady has been married twice in her life. When her ex-husband left, she left behind two half-grown daughters. As much as her husband loved her, when her husband left, the two younger uncles took away her ex-husband's property under the pretext that she had no son, and drove them and their two daughters out.

Mrs. You was born with a beautiful child, and soon found a new home. Mrs. You was a widower whose wife died, and he didn't dislike Mrs. You with two oil bottles, and Mrs. You was still young and beautiful, so he Huanhuanxi took the mother and daughter into the old house.

The relationship between Youshi and Mrs. You is not close, but it makes sense. The main reason is that when Father You left, he gave most of the family property to his daughter, leaving only a small part for those who did not have any more children for the You family. Mrs. You.

Youshi got the benefit, so she didn't want to make everyone unable to get down, it was not good for her, a high-ranking successor.So the two people get along well. Every year when the New Year comes, Youshi sends many delicacies from mountains and seas to his hometown in the countryside. Mrs. You and her two daughters hold and eat in their hands, and they have no confidence in front of Youshi. .

The second sister You and the third sister You followed the appearance of Mrs. You when she was young, one was beautiful and pleasant, the other was graceful and graceful.Youshi only follows his father's appearance, even if he is 20 years younger, he is not half as beautiful as Second Sister You or Third Sister You.

The second sister You is a bit greedy for vanity, and always talks about the beauty of the eldest sister in the capital when she is at home. The third sister You is a bit ambiguous with the somewhat handsome young man in the town, and the two sisters are also "famous" in their hometown. Son.

Youshi has always known the tempers of these two younger sisters, and Jia Zhen is someone who is red-eyed when she sees meat. In the early years when the second sister You came to the capital to pay her respects, Jia Zhen and her were mixed together, which made Youshi feel angry and helpless when she saw it. .In the past two or three years, Second Sister You is getting older and more romantic and tactful, You's even more afraid to bring people into Beijing.

If it weren't for the critical situation this time, and Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were not in the mansion, the You family would definitely not be able to take Mrs. You and the second and third sisters in.

The two sisters went to Beijing overnight with their mother, and arrived at Ningguo Mansion in the early morning of the second day after receiving the letter.

In front of the gate of the mansion, there were crowds of horses and horses, and the sound of crying was loud. The gatekeeper knew that it was Youshi's old lady and younger sister, and hurriedly ushered them into the upper room.Lai Sheng's family entertained them personally, and informed Mrs. You of You's intentions before leaving, and even took the second and third sisters to check all the places in the mansion one by one.

At first, Third Sister You was calm, and followed her sister around in a small sedan chair, but within half a day she was crying tired and hurting, and she nestled in the upper room and refused to move.The second sister had nothing to do with her, and Mrs. You was too old and lethargic, so she had no choice but to talk to the director of Lai Sheng's family in person.

Third Sister You is like fish in water when she enters the Ning Mansion, she doesn't care if You Shi is there or not, she takes chicken feathers as arrows every day, picks food and clothing every day, asks for silver and gold, has pearls and gems, eats The fat goose also slaughtered the fat duck.

Mrs. You had always doted on these two daughters, and she didn't dare to control them. Within a few days, even the old lady at the Rongguo Mansion heard the gossip, so she asked Li Wan and Xichun to come and have a look.

Xichun has always only lived in the Rongguo Mansion, and seldom comes to the East Mansion.Second Sister You and Third Sister You never had the chance to go to Beijing, and they never saw Xichun.Li Wan only pretended that Youshi had informed them, and did not introduce them further.

Xichun lost her father, so she was in a bad mood and dressed plainly. Third Sister You only thought that she was a decent girl next to Li Wan. The petite Xichun pushed aside.

But it happened that there was a table of pear blossoms in front of Xichun, and the fresh melons and fruits were scattered all over the floor.

"Oh, what is this for!" Li Wan was angry and annoyed: "I haven't heard that a guest came to the master's house and beat the master's girl!"

Second Sister You already knew Xichun's identity from the little girl, so she rushed up to apologize.

Xichun threw away Second Sister You early, and only called out to Lai Sheng's family in a sharp voice: "Don't you give me your eyes when my sister-in-law is not here? Look at what the family is like now, is it possible that I really want to invite my ancestor's family law? Let you, the most respectable person, taste the bitter fruit?"

Lai Sheng's family begged: "Fourth Miss, don't get angry, we don't know there is a misunderstanding. When grandma left, she really told us to hand over the house to the second and third aunts, who were also eager for success. , I got a little irritable and angry, Miss Si, don't take it to heart."

The third sister kicked Lai Sheng's family hard, and she was annoyed by Lai Sheng's family's first Chong Xichun compensation.Second Sister You hurriedly grabbed her younger sister: "Don't make trouble again, we are ashamed, can Big Sister spare you and me when she comes back?"

Third Sister You spat Li Wan and Xichun on her back, "I don't want to stay in this ghostly place yet! Call her back quickly and let us tie the horse-drawn carriage home!" After finishing speaking, Third Sister You looked at the two of them. The elder sister's expression changed for no reason, and she smiled coldly: "I see, there are three of us, and you are the one who is most reluctant to part with it! No wonder you are not afraid of hard work, every day you go to the grass nests in a small sedan chair, Don't be too tired to panic! I advise my sister to take it easy, and when the eldest sister comes back, I may not be happy to see you working so hard to take care of her house!"

Second Sister You was both ashamed and annoyed, but she didn't dare to say anything, for fear of being overheard by Li Wan and Xichun.

The two groups of people were complaining to each other, and the lady outside the door came in to report back, saying that the second master Lian had come to send money, and asked the second and third aunts to show it.

Second Sister You panicked immediately, and secretly blamed her younger sister for not knowing the seriousness. After all, this is not her own home, not to mention that the elder sister is not their biological sister, but she had no other choice, so she asked their old mother to come and help the housekeeper.It's a good thing now, the family didn't straighten it out, but they completely offended the real lady.If the fourth girl said something nonsense in front of the second master Lian, wouldn't she have let down the painstaking efforts of her elder sister before she left?
Second Sister You sent someone to invite Jia Lian, while apologizing to Xichun and Li Wan: "Fourth Sister, don't be as knowledgeable as us. You are a precious person, and you have no reason to get angry with rough people like us. I will apologize to you on behalf of Third Sister." .”

Third Sister You was upset and wanted to talk back, but Second Sister hurriedly winked at Lai Sheng's family, who made Third Sister You go down.

For a while, Jia Lian hurried into the main room, and did not take a second look at the flirtatious Second Sister You, but only looked at Xichun, and said with concern, "Why did I hear that the fourth sister was injured? Did it break or not? "

Xichun rubbed the bruise on the back of his hand with a handkerchief, "Second brother, don't worry, it's not a serious injury. Go home and apply ice cubes, and it will disappear tomorrow."

Only then did Jia Lian glance at Second Sister You lightly, and said in a cold voice, "Fourth younger sister is confused, your hands are for painting, and even the ancestors are reluctant to let you be tired of carrying a pen, why don't you cherish it more?" some?"

When Second Sister You beat Jia Lian and entered the door, her whole heart couldn't help but fall on him.

Jia Lian is full of romantic temperament, looks dignified, manly and not lacking in bookishness, Second Sister You can't help comparing him with Jia Zhen and his son.

Jia Zhen is wretched and lustful, she is a bit dignified in front of others, but she looks like a scoundrel in front of her.Jia Rong is even more confused, afraid of his father, but behind his back, he has affairs with many aunts in the house.

It's just that Laozi is not like Laozi, and sons are not as good as sons!

Although Second Sister You is no longer a big girl, she is still a young girl with a spring heart, and she loves young and beautiful brothers.So when I saw Jia Lian, I was very interested.After hearing Jia Lian's words, the second sister hurriedly laughed and said, "I have already sent someone to invite the doctor, and my servant also saw it just now. The fourth sister is not seriously injured. Maybe she will recover within half a day."

Jia Lian smiled coldly: "Second Aunt's words are simple. Our young ladies are pampered, and the elders are reluctant to say a word. The Third Aunt does not regard herself as an outsider. She does it when she says it. Bruises, if something is damaged, I will hold my head and apologize to my ancestors, and my ancestors may not be willing to listen."

Third Sister You listened intently in the inner room, and when she heard Jia Lian's cynicism, she immediately wanted to jump out and fight desperately.Lai Sheng's family and several daughters-in-law were quick-witted, and quickly pressed Third Sister You firmly in place, refusing to tell her to move.

He only said that Jia Lian gave Second Sister You a first-class meal in annoyance, and then brought Fourth Miss Xichun and Li Wan back to Ningguo Mansion.After a few days, You Shi prepared the scene in Tiekan Temple properly, and took a carriage back to Ningguo Mansion. The first thing she did when she entered the house was to call Lai Sheng and his wife to her side and ask them carefully. The second and third sisters frowned when they offended Xichun.

Lai Sheng and Lai Sheng's family didn't understand the meaning of Youshi's frown, and they didn't dare to start a conversation, so they retreated quietly.

Youshi sat there for a while, and took the maids to see Mrs. You.Mrs. Chayou was sleeping soundly, and the third sister went to make trouble somewhere. Only the second sister was sitting on the big clinical kang doing needlework. On the handkerchief were mandarin ducks playing in the water. The craftsmen were halfway there.

When the two sisters saw Youshi, they quickly got up and gave up their seats.

Youshi lifted the handkerchief in the hands of the second sister with a smile: "You have been calm since you were a child, and your embroidery skills are also the best among our three sisters. It is worthwhile to entrust the techniques passed down from our family to you!"

Second Sister You panicked for a moment: "Big Sister, I am actually..."

Youshi smiled and said: "Look at you, with this expression, I said earlier that although you are not my biological sister, my father still treats you like my own daughters, and the family's unique skills have never been hidden Come on, just put your heart down firmly." Youshi paused, and said with a smile: "I heard what Lai Sheng's family said. Did you see the second brother Lian in the mansion over there?"

Second Sister You blushed and nodded shyly and timidly.You Shi sighed lightly: "Brother Jia Lian is really good, he looks good, and his age is just right. It's rare to have a serious official position. He is a person who is well-known in front of the emperor. In [-], he was so prosperous! It’s a pity!”

The second sister hurriedly asked: "Why is it such a pity?"

You Shi laughed and said, "It's a pity that his family's tigress is really powerful."

Second Sister You guessed her own intentions at that time, and planned to use these words to scare herself, so she didn't take it seriously and said, "No matter how powerful she is, she is only a woman, so can she still take care of Second Master's business?"

"Hey! How else can you say that you underestimated the second master Lian's family! Feng girl is notoriously poor and settled down, she is the most duplicitous, sweet-mouthed and bitter master, talking to people, smiling on the top, and laughing on the bottom of her feet. A stumbling block. There is a pot of fire in the open, but a knife in the dark. Whoever falls into her hands will never have a second way of life."

Youshi took the second sister's hand, and said earnestly: "If that girl or daughter-in-law looks at Second Uncle Lian more than once, she would wish to tear the other's face. Others are jealous, and Feng girl is a vinegar jar. Wengzi, why did you touch that mold?"

It turned out that the You family had already made up their minds when they brought Mrs. You and her two younger sisters into the capital.

Second Sister You was engaged to the Zhang family, the head of the village, and it seemed very good at the time, but later the Zhang family fell into disarray, and the two families stopped communicating.The second sister You hates the poor and loves the rich in her heart. She envies the eldest sister to marry into the Duke's mansion and live a life of luxury. Since then, I have been downcast all my life.

The second sister thinks that she is very beautiful, and she doesn't want to bury her talent in thin air.

You took advantage of the second sister's weakness and brought her into the mansion first, saying that she would help manage the house for a few days. In fact, it was to let the second sister see every detail of this luxurious life.When she is addicted to it and can't extricate herself, Youshi can implement her method step by step.

"It's not that I, the elder sister, are blocking your happiness. On the contrary, it's because my elder sister thinks too much about you that she tells you such good things." Youshi said slowly: "Our family has a relative, an uncle, who is very kind. With a great career and a good official career, he is highly valued by the emperor. Now he only has a daughter, but he has no son."

"Big sister, stop talking," Second Sister You rubbed off the edge of the kang in embarrassment, and turned to enter the inner room.

Mrs. You hurriedly stopped her: "You just listened to what my sister said. Although this uncle is older, he only has one wife in the main house, and Mrs. Xing is very kind. It's like a real sister. This kind of good deed is enviable to others!"

I don't know how long Mrs. You stood behind the curtain. When she heard what her stepdaughter said, she hurriedly walked out tremblingly, holding on to Youshi's hand: "Her eldest sister, is the uncle you are talking about reliable or not?" ? Your second sister is suffering, and you can't make her suffer any more!"

Mrs. You supported Mrs. You to sit down, and said with a smile: "I don't care about other people's affairs, how can I not worry about the affairs of the two younger sisters? Don't worry, mom, this uncle is only in his early thirties, and he is much older than our master." How young are you! Besides, if we agreed, he may not be in love with you yet!"

Mrs. You proudly raised her chest: "Your second sister is not picky about her character, let alone her appearance. She is the wife of the house."

Youshi smiled embarrassedly: "Mrs. Xing's body has always been strong. If the second younger sister covets this, I'm afraid it won't work. Besides, the Xing family has a powerful young lady."

Mrs. You knew this was the case, so she was not very willing.You Shi hurriedly said: "Mom, don't underestimate this family, I can push my sister into the fire pit! Then the Xing family has raised a prince!"

Mother You, mother and daughter were amazed, and You took the opportunity to tell how the Xing family adopted the fifth prince, how the fifth prince entered the palace, and how he was favored.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, and Mrs. You said in surprise, "What does the eldest aunt mean?"

"Mom, still can't see clearly? The second younger sister has booked a marriage with Zhang's family. Even if they talk about marriage again in the future, they won't be able to find any serious family. If you want to be the housewife's grandmother, life will be hard. If you want to be the aunt Noble concubine, and no status. Only this family is different. The aunts and grandmothers of the Xing family have said that as long as the second sister marries, she will have a son, and in the future, she will ask the fifth prince to give the second sister an imperial title. Mom also becomes As the mother of Gao Ming, what are you going to worry about in the future? Let the third sister marry off through the Xing family's family status, and the old lady will either follow me or follow the second sister, and the days of happiness in the future will come later!"

In the past month, Mrs. You and Mrs. Xing have been away the most recently, and when they go to Rongguo Mansion, they often visit the eldest wife.The two talked speculatively, and they mentioned the two young ladies of the You family.

Mrs. Xing was so dark-hearted, listening to what the aunt said, she just tried every means to get Xing Zhong a concubine to pass her by.

Mrs. You was anxious to get rid of Mrs. You's family, so she agreed to Mrs. Xing's wishes without thinking.

At this moment, the three of them were discussing, and although Second Sister You was reluctant, she couldn't resist her mother's begging.In the evening, Third Sister You came back from some kind of earth hole. Seeing her own sister with a sad face, she asked why.

Second Sister You was feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed, so she didn't say anything, but Mrs. You cheerfully told Third Sister You as if it was a beautiful errand.

Third Sister You was stunned, and then continued to sneer: "I said she didn't have such kind intentions, so she dug this fire pit for Second Sister to dance in."

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful to let your elder sister hear it!" Mrs. You looked at her daughter displeasedly: "Why is your elder sister wishing you two happiness. I will settle this matter, let's take a look at the Xing family first I mean, as long as the other party agrees, I have nothing to say."

Mrs. You also didn't allow the sisters to distinguish each other, so she fell asleep after talking.

The second sister and the third sister didn't close their eyes all night, especially the second sister, as long as they closed their eyes, they would think of Jia Lian's suave appearance, but in a blink of an eye, an old, ugly, bitter and despicable rich man appeared again.Second Sister You turned back and forth like a pancake, and it didn't take long for Third Sister You who was sleeping next to her to take the trouble.

"Second Sister, if you don't like it, you can push their ideas away. Why do you have to do it yourself! If it were me, I would rather live in poverty than wrong myself."

"You said it lightly, have you forgotten the hard days? I don't want to go back. Don't look at the elder sister as easy-talking, but in fact she is hard-hearted. I don't agree with her. In the future, the three of us mothers will count on who will live ?”

The third sister You shaved the second sister's cheeks, and said with a coquettish smile: "Others don't know your little thoughts, don't I know? You are clearly the one who is looking for Jia Lian today! I will tell my mother tomorrow, call her Back to eldest sister, I will only give you to Second Lord Lian!"

The two sisters immediately quarreled. From their point of view, only the second sister You rejected the Xing family, and there was no possibility that the Xing family would look down on the second sister!
