The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 187 A New Strange Story
As soon as the female husband's words came out, all the wives and girls were silently listening. Jia's mother hurriedly asked: "Is this a rumor in the market? Is it credible?"

The daughter-in-law was overjoyed. When she heard Jia Mu's eagerness to ask, she knew she had grasped everyone's thoughts, so she smiled and said, "Of course it is very true. The news from our capital is already too late. Everyone knows it. Everyone said that the admiral of the navy was alone in danger and captured the leader of the Fusang water bandit with his bare hands."

Mother Jia laughed, apparently not believing her husband-in-law's words: "That year when our old master was there, he took me to the [-]th birthday banquet of the admiral of the navy. Ten years old, alone in danger? I’m afraid it’s false and exaggerated.”

The husband-in-law blushed, and hurriedly changed his words: "The ancestors didn't like this. Let me tell you something special. This one can be regarded as genuine, without any falsehood. It is still related to the admiral of the navy, and it is said that he was killed. Being framed by a traitor, it was at stake, but there was a young man in the court pleading for him, His Majesty admired this young man, so he secretly reopened the case and rehabilitated the navy admiral."

The wives of the family couldn't help being curious: "The humerus ministers that His Majesty needs to use are all old people who came out of the hidden mansion. I haven't heard of any officials who are successful at a young age?"

The female minister smiled complacently: "Why did the wives forget? The third son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Mr. Song, is working in the Zhenfu Division? The Zhenfu Division is like no other place. It is an important weapon in the hands of the emperor. This time I heard The admiral of the navy is in trouble, but Mr. Song stepped forward, he is really a rare kind and righteous person."

Daiyu pursed her lips and sniggered, her eyes fell on her sister Xing Xiuyan involuntarily.

"It's also a strange fate. This Mr. Song helped quell an internal strife when he arrived at the navy camp. The admiral returned victorious from the Fusang bandit den. Knowing that it was Mr. Song's credit, he intentionally sent the My granddaughter was betrothed to Mr. Xiao Song. According to the rumors in Suzhou and Hangzhou, this girl has a refined appearance, radiant skin, and picturesque eyebrows. She is actually a stunning beauty."

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he couldn't sit still, and hurriedly said: "Since this young lady is a stunning beauty, why didn't she be raised in the capital, but was born in that turbulent place?"

The female prime minister laughed again and again and said: "Oh, Second Master Bao doesn't know something. Girls from other official families either practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or learn female red needlework, but this young lady is unusual. She has been following the water since she was three years old." The military admiral practices martial arts. He is 17 years old this year, and he is still the closed disciple of the Qiankun sage in Taimei Mountain! They are a handsome man and a pretty woman, with similar backgrounds and similar preferences. They are a match made in heaven."

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and even Jia's mother sighed, feeling that after the marriage between the Song family and the navy admiral, the political situation in the court would change.

Here, Lu's smile has long since disappeared, and Xiuyan's expression is even more expressionless.

Fu Geer fiddled with his little finger, as if he felt a chill, looked up at my sister with her big head straight, and slapped her arm hard with her little meat.

Xiuyan smiled and grabbed Fu Ge'er's little hand, scooped a spoonful of the emerald fresh shrimp soup on the table, and stuck it to Fu Ge'er's mouth after it cooled completely.The boy "giggled" immediately, pursed his mouth, and sucked hard on the spoon.

Yingchun looked enviously at the young lady and her younger brother. In fact, Yingchun was not the only one who had the idea of ​​Yingchun. Unfortunately, Baoyu, the natal brother that the girls could only rely on, was not very sophisticated. Relying on Baoyu, It's better to rely on yourself to be more practical.

Xiuyan's heart has never been calm at all, even though the jokes of the daughter-in-law are not entirely true, but when rumors spread all over the streets, even if they are not true, they may become true.

Song Chen's last letter was years ago, and Xiuyan recalled that she really respected the old admiral in every line.

As Xiuyan knew, Song Chen had always been a proud person. He had been in the Zhenfu Division for many years, and he had already cultivated a hard heart. To make Song Chen willing to say "good", he must have a strong personality charm.Could it be that the female husband-in-law is telling the truth?

Xiuyan handed the spoon to Meilian who was behind her, and asked her daughter-in-law with a smile: "I would like to meet this beautiful woman, but as far as I know, all the female relatives of the admiral's family are in the capital. After the son, Long live God detained a hundred or so members of his family in the Prison Temple, but because the case was not cleared, they have not been released for a long time."

The female husband was startled, and forced a smile: "Well, we don't know about this, it seems that there is such a thing."

Xiuyan said again: "Long live Lord is a wise king, he will not make arbitrarily decisions on things that he has not found out, but according to what you said. As the supervisory censor, Mr. Xiao Song, the reason why he was rehabilitated by the admiral of the navy, Is it all because he has taken a fancy to someone else's young lady? If such rumors spread, if Long Live Lord believes it credulously, not to mention that the navy admiral's family will die, even Song Lian and Song Shangshu will be to blame. The crime of teaching a child without any harm."

Everyone was in an uproar, and the female husband's lips trembled in fright: "This girl, is it not as serious as you said?"

Tanchun hurriedly answered: "How else do you say 'Three people become a tiger'? You people who rely on lip service to make money to support their families are not accurate in what they say? Where did you say this?"

The lady-in-law had a mournful face: "Only when Liu Guogong's family had a banquet in the third grade of junior high school, their old ladies were happy. I told a passage. I also heard this passage from my junior sister. Where did she buy it but did not buy it?" We can see."

Jia's mother dismissed her daughter-in-law casually, and after thinking for a while, she said to everyone, "If girl Xiuyan hadn't been keen and noticed the strangeness here, I'm afraid we'd be like a joke to the women and children outside!"

Wang hurriedly flattered: "The old lady is very true. If it is true, this person must have vicious intentions."

Jia's mother hurriedly asked Baoyu to call Jia Amnesty, Jia Zhen and Jia Lian in front of her, and Jia Rong to accompany her uncle.After hearing this, Mrs. Lu and Aunt Li hurriedly got up and found an excuse to go to the back room to have tea.

The girls chatted with each other, Xiuyan handed Fu Geer to her mother, and she whispered to Mi Ying: "Tell Axi to go to Mr. Ma's mansion and ask him what's going on."

Mio looked at the complicated crowd around her, and said hesitantly, "Girl, why don't you wait until you get home?"

"Didn't you listen to that lady-in-law? She heard it from her junior sister. How many people did this junior sister tell the story, or who did she hear it from? Master Xiao Song has no idea. If this is a It's just a joke, if it's really a trap, the Song family will also be doomed."

Seeing the girl's serious face, Mio also knew that the matter was serious, so she hurriedly paced out of the room and walked out.

Daiyu walked to Xiuyan anxiously, and gently took her sister's arm: "Are you all right?"

Xiuyan smiled indifferently: "What will happen, by the way, the old lady has already agreed, you will follow when we go to our house today, and go directly to Gan's house from Fengwei Hutong on the eighth day of the eighth day."

Daiyu didn't show the slightest joy or embarrassment on her face, but there was deep worry: "But why do I hear what the old lady means, that the eldest wife and the second wife should follow?"

"This is what our mother meant. You can't hide the matter from the two wives. Now you are covering it up. If the two gossip in front of the Gan family in the future, it won't do you any good. It's better to call them clean now. If they still trip you up, the old lady can take care of them without us doing it."

Xiuyan patted Daiyu affectionately: "In the end, your old lady has put in a lot of painstaking efforts for you, from now on, you have to respect her well!"

Over there, Jia Baoyu saw her sisters standing together and ignoring everyone, so she hurried over to pull them back: "Elder Sister Xing, take a look, Sister Bao sent Xiangling to bring us four lanterns with many riddles on them. Let's go over and guess!" After finishing speaking, he started to pull Daiyu.

Daiyu slapped Jia Baoyu's hand away with a slap, "Speak as you speak, and do whatever you want!" After speaking, she didn't turn her head back.

Jia Baoyu was stunned, Xiuyan quickly smoothed things over and said with a smile: "Sister Lin is also concerned about everyone's reputation, brother Bao is seventeen or eighteen, and there are attackers in the house, men and women should be more careful."

Baoyu was a little sluggish, drooping her head and said in dissatisfaction: "Sister Lin is too careful, besides, we grew up together when she was young. When she first came, the old lady was afraid that she would admit her birth, so she asked us to live together."

The more Xiuyan heard this, the more outrageous she became, and she quickly interrupted with a cold face: "Brother Bao can no longer talk nonsense to others. Let me tell you the truth, our wife has already discussed about finding a marriage for Sister Lin, brother Bao Although she is close to sister Lin, it shouldn't block her happiness."

When Jia Baoyu heard this, his wits disappeared, "Big sister, don't lie to me with such words!"

Xiuyan smiled dumbly: "What's there to coax you? Back then, Uncle Lin promised our wife rights in front of Lian's second cousin. From now on, our wife will be in charge of half of Sister Lin's marriage. Sister Bao also respects her." We are married, we are about to get married, and our wife can't let someone poke her back, so I discussed with the old lady early on, and we also want to find a son-in-law for Sister Lin who is both talented and beautiful."

Jia Baoyu's body was on the verge of falling, and he kept murmuring in disbelief.Fearing that he would do something stupid again, Xiuyan grabbed Baoyu's arm and said, "Baoyu, you are a good boy, don't delay other people's future just because of your own unhappiness."

"Sister Xing, I don't have one." Baoyu was so wronged that she was about to cry.

Xiuyan said in a deep voice: "Then put on a smiling face, don't let the wives see that it's not just your family in this room, there are also Dongfu's sister-in-law and Aunt Li, if they ask, you Say it or not? Say it, sister Lin doesn’t need to be a person in the mansion from now on, if you don’t tell me, are you going to lie? "

Jia Baoyu was so overwhelmed by this aggressive force that he even began to doubt whether his feelings for Sister Lin were right or wrong. Otherwise, why would he look like a burden to Sister Lin in the eyes of Sister Xing?
