The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 250
The old man Gan had a good impression of Xing Xiuyan at first, he felt that this woman was well-educated, and although she came from a businessman, she was somewhat literary. He also respected Lin Daiyu's family background, and felt that the family who could support Lin Ruhai's dying mother must not be a vulgar person.But before he could say a few words, the old man heard Xing Xiuyan's words were full of sarcasm, and the old man felt a lot of chills.

Thinking about it, the Xing family might have deliberately sent a little girl to neglect themselves.The old lady Gan said with a nonchalant smile: "Brother Mi is not experienced enough in the officialdom, I want to ask Mr. Xing's family to give me some pointers. Anyway, Mr. Xing has also been a county magistrate for several years, from the local to the heavenly court. This rare experience is worth learning with my brother's heart."

Xiuyan naturally agreed with her whole mouth, seeing that the old man no longer made harsh demands, she was even more happy to pretend to be deaf and dumb.Before leaving, she asked Chunxian to open the box and presented it to everyone: "It's the first time I met my younger sisters, and I don't have anything good to give away. This is a new trick in the palace, and my younger sisters don't dislike it." Just take it, after all, it’s my little wish.”

This time, the old man and his stepwife brought a total of three young ladies to Beijing. They were all favored daughters of the same family, just to see the world in the capital. The family dislikes it.

The three girls had already seen the magnolia hairpin on the tip of Xiuyan.The color is delicate and not to mention, and there are crystal clear drops of water on it, as if it has just been folded off.The three girls of the Gan family were still surprised, no matter how Xing Xiuyan turned her head, the dew seemed to stick to it, and she just didn't move at all.Now that I heard people talking about it, I couldn't help but blush, only to realize that it was a fake velvet flower.

Xiuyan glanced at Daiyu lightly, Daiyu understood, hurriedly stepped forward, picked up a pink peach from the box: "This spring peach is like the morning glow, it is beautiful in late spring, with a pleasant fragrance of flowers, it is most suitable for my eldest sister."

The young girl who stood at the head of the three hurriedly took it, first bowed to Xing Xiuyan, hesitated for a moment, then thanked Lin Daiyu.

The remaining two girls of the Gan family got a peony and a peony respectively, both of which were the best of beauty.Even my great aunt got one.This aunt is the most enthusiastic towards Xiuyan. As soon as the velvet flower is in her hands, she smiled and said: "My hair is very happy today, and I have a bright red hairpin, but just looking at it this way, I look a lot younger."

The aunt of the Gan family turned to look at the old man: "What does father think?"

The old man pursed his lips and said with a smile: "How old are you? You are still messing around with a few juniors. Take it off quickly, lest your mother-in-law see the joke."

The eldest aunt of the Gan family is reluctant to pick it. This velvet flower is not expensive but it is also expensive. It was specially given to several close wives by the empress of the palace.The sister-in-law of her husband's family got such a box, and she wore it like a baby, changing the look every day without repeating it, but no one would give one away.

The aunt of the Gan family pointed to a young woman sitting not far away and said with a smile: "My brothers and sisters are still of the same generation as me, I am afraid that the hairpin on their heads is more beautiful than mine."

Everyone followed the aunt's hand and looked over there. The young woman who was sitting steadily got up hurriedly, raising her hand to pick off the accessories on her bun.The step-wife gave the eldest aunt a hard look, and then smoothed things over and said: "It's nothing, Lao Qi's daughter-in-law is young, and she is not a few years older than the girls in our family. She is the most blessed woman with her parents-in-law and her sons and daughters." Others don't deserve to wear safflower, but she is the most suitable."

On the opposite side, Xiuyan looked coldly in the direction of the Seventh Grandma. It turned out that her husband was the one who openly ransacked Gan Mi and pried into the house where Gan Mi was going to get married.Xiuyan's eyeballs moved slightly, and she looked up and down, and saw that the young woman was slightly plump but very tall, the summer shirt made of Sichuan brocade was stretched out to the maximum, and the young woman was straight, and she was very tall. Added a bit of seriousness.

Grandma Seven hurriedly smiled and said: "Yesterday I was busy looking for the marriage of my brother and master, and I didn't go to sleep until the middle of the night, so my face was depressed. I thought about borrowing a few bright red flowers to change my complexion, so I wore these."

The step-wife looked at the direct-in-law's daughter-in-law distressedly: "You child, what a big deal, there are servants working hard. Every time I see you working hard, I feel very distressed." The step-wife turned her head and said angrily to the old man: "Our seventh daughter-in-law is the one who suffers the most, and the housekeeper is also very skilled. Master, let me tell you."

The old lady Gan immediately interrupted what the next wife said, only smiled and said to Xiuyan: "Since Mrs. Xing is not feeling well, we can't force it. When she recovers someday, we will invite Miss Xing and the wife of the family to come over." Narrative."

Xiuyan failed to say a word of intimacy with Lin Daiyu from the beginning to the end, and when she was sent out of Mingcheng Hall, Xiuyan hurriedly ordered Meilian in a low voice: "You ask people to keep an eye on Aunt Gan's movements, as long as you see her come out of bed at night If you come out of the door, please come to our house to talk."

Before nightfall, the aunt and grandmother on the opposite side were going home in a sedan chair, and the woman who had been watching at the door hurriedly stopped the sedan chair.Aunt Gan heard that it was Xing Xiuyan's invitation, she hesitated for a moment, but she still asked the bearers to turn into the corner gate of Xing's house.

As soon as the two met, Xiuyan laughed and said, "Which play are we singing today? My aunt should give me some advice so as not to make any jokes." Xiuyan personally let the eldest aunt sit in her usual seat. The location, serving tea and water, is very careful and attentive.

As everyone knows, the more Xiuyan behaves like this, the more sorry she feels for her aunt.She pressed down on Xiuyan who was about to peel the fruit for herself, and said with a pleasant face: "My good girl, you sit down. I know that Mrs. Xing is not the one in charge of your family, but you. It's not good to say this to Mrs. Xing I'm afraid that Mrs. Xing will be sad, and even more afraid that Mrs. Xing will hate our sister-in-law because of it. Then I will... "

Xiuyan looked coldly at the embarrassment on the face of the eldest aunt, and then smiled and said: "Don't worry, my wife, our wife has never been that kind of person. She has a close relationship with Mrs. Xu, and she often laughs and says that she is going to marry Jinlan. How can it be?" Angry with her?"

Aunt Gan's face was ashamed, and the corners of her eyes filled with guilt: "Miss Gang Xing also saw our stepwife, relying on my father's favor in Jining Mansion, she was extremely arrogant and domineering to the extreme. But Miss Xing also knows, how big is Jining Mansion?" , at the foot of the imperial city, how big is the land of the Son of Heaven. She still used that old trick to seduce my father, it's not. She's looking for the dowry house of my brother and daughter-in-law. Think, think"

Xiuyan couldn't bear it any longer, a sneer resounded in the inner room: "I just said that the words of my step-wife are very puzzling, now I only know the reason after listening to my aunt's words."

Xiuyan found out the step-wife's little calculations from the aunt-in-law, but here, the step-wife thought that the old man's vague words did not help her directly, and felt annoyed: "Master, why don't you help me?" Don't tell me to tell the little girl of the Xing family directly?"

The old man twirled his beard and sighed, "Why are you in such a hurry? The house is in good shape but it can't grow any legs. Could it be a while longer?"
