The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 31 Get a shrew to clean you up (please recommend!)
"What did you say?" Daiyu's eyes widened in disbelief, "There are such brazen people in the world? Master didn't say to beat him out?"

Xiuyan and Daiyu had just entered the door and before they had a rest, they heard that Meilian got some important gossip from the servant next to the master.Yang Youzhi blatantly slandered sister Xiuyan, saying that the reason why he refused to marry Miss Xiuyan was because he had made a private appointment with sister Xiuyan for life. So even if he braved Mr. Jing's anger, Yang Youzhi must keep his promise and never be the second Chen Shimei.

After hearing this, Daiyu was even angrier than Xiuyan, and her already thin body shivered and became thinner.Daiyu said bitterly: "Sister, who is this Yang Youzhi? Why did you tarnish my sister's reputation so much?"

Xiuyan slowly used gilt hairpins to smash the crescent cakes in the incense burner, and the fragrance became stronger immediately, filling the whole room.After finishing all this, Xiuyan smiled and said: "It's just an idiot, I don't need to bother with him, just because I have studied for a few years and gained a reputation, I feel more and more amazing. When our family was not up I live in the alley of the East Street, and this Yang Youzhi is a neighbor, who would have thought that he would come to this point for power and profit! I despise this kind of person the most, and what is it to threaten other parents with a girl's reputation? Scholars are simply beasts in clothes."

Daiyu nodded again and again: "It's no wonder that Baoyu doesn't want to study, and even regards fame and wealth as dung. Other sisters have persuaded him, but I haven't. It's not that I don't want to say it, but I feel that what Baoyu said is indeed somewhat reasonable. In this world, it is often not the rude and reckless people who do the most evil, but those who have a good family background and are full of false Taoism."

Xiuyan took a sip of tea, and smiled at Daiyu: "How else can we say that those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be princes? But the same reason! Yang Youzhi is a clown, and I will find a way to make him dare not regenerate. thing."

Daiyu listened to sister Xiuyan's words very easily, and couldn't help asking curiously: "What good idea does sister have?" When she saw Xiuyan only pursed her lips and smiled but didn't say anything, she knew that this method might not be bright and aboveboard, but the more it was like this, Daiyu Yu became more and more curious.During this long time together day and night, Daiyu has long admired sister Xiuyan.It was obviously a hugely difficult task, but it was surprisingly easy in the hands of Sister Xiuyan.

Xiuyan seemed to lose her airs due to her shaking arm, and repeatedly begged for mercy: "My good sister, I've been sitting in the carriage for so long, I'm so sore, you still come to play tricks on me!"

The two sisters quarreled together, and after a long time, Xiuyan approached Daiyu and said in a low voice: "It's easy to say. I have some friendship with the lady of the Jing family. I will arrange a banquet by myself on the fifteenth day." Invite her to come, doesn't the lady of the Jing family like Yang Youzhi? I will personally go to the home of Mrs. Bai, the magistrate, and ask Mrs. Bai to act as a matchmaker for the two of them. I don't believe that Yang Youzhi will refuse."

After hearing this, Daiyu laughed and said, "Sister, this is not treating Yang Youzhi, she is obviously helping him!"

Xiuyan blinked playfully, whispering something in Daiyu's ear.After a while, I saw Daiyu laughing so hard that she pointed at Xiuyan's nose and was speechless.Zijuan and the others were curious about what Miss Xing said to provoke the appearance of her own girl?

Xueyan was young, so she didn't know what taboo was, and she was tickled with curiosity, so she hurriedly asked: "What is the girl laughing at? Tell us to have fun!"

Daiyu blushed, bit her lower lip to suppress her laughter, and dared not reveal a word.

It turned out that Xing Xiuyan still had some friendship with the lady from the Jing family who almost hanged herself. The latter was also a sweet lover and was a frequent customer of the Xing family pastry shop.This Miss Jing is good in every way, except for one thing, she loves to be jealous, and no one can stop her from going crazy.Even her parents have to give way, let alone the concubine sisters in the family.

Ms. Jing is used to smooth sailing, and she is also the undisputed leader in the circle of young ladies in Taicang. It is rare for her to be gentle and gentle, and she wants to marry Yang Youzhi.Now most of the people in Taicang know about her attempt to hang herself. Ms. Jing hates Yang Youzhi to death, and even more hates Yang Youzhi's sweetheart Xing Xiuyan to death.

Xiuyan pinched this fatal point.In the end, Miss Jing was willing to hang herself for Yang Youzhi, and she definitely liked the latter in her heart.What Xiuyan hates the most is not the old lady of the Yang family, but Yang Youzhi's concubine Wei'er. During the years when they lived in Dongjie alley, Xiuyan and Wei'er were almost in the same situation.

Thinking that the Yang family would not live in peace every day after Ms. Jing came in, Xiuyan felt a burst of joy. Who told Yang Youzhi to be so uneasy!

The next day, Xiuyan specially asked the boy to find a servant, and wrote the invitation card with Yushengxiang's plum blossom paper, and ingeniously tied a beautiful bow with silk and satin, and sprinkled it with incense powder. Sent to Taicang County.

Ms. Jing is recuperating at home, and when she heard that the daughter of the county magistrate of Wu County came to invite her, she thought it was a lady from the Bai family.When the eldest maid reminded her, Miss Jing remembered that the Xing family's master had already become the county magistrate.Miss Jing jumped angrily, thinking that Xing Xiuyan wanted to laugh at her on purpose, and wanted to tear up the invitation in a fit of anger.

Miss Jing's girl snatched the letter from the girl's hand, and said with a light smile, "Why don't you go, girl? Not only are we going, but we also want to make Xing Xiuyan feel ashamed, and let Mr. Yang know that his eyesight is so bad, don't you?" He is not lucky to choose a girl."

Ms. Jing's eyes turned red immediately, and she threw herself into the arms of the big maid: "Why is he so stubborn? If I say a soft word to my father, will my father make things difficult for him again? His mother and stepfather will not be in prison Now, I would rather give up on me than ask for it, but go to Xing Xiuyan, how can I swallow this breath."

Miss Jing's eldest maid is named Xiang'er, she is the daughter of Miss Jing's nanny, she is the most trusted by Miss Jing, not only because of her close relationship, but also because of Xiang'er's many ideas, she is simply Miss Jing's backbone.

Xiang'er put Miss Jing in her arms and smiled lightly: "What is the Xing family? It's a nouveau riche. The girl dressed up well on the fifteenth day, and asked Xing Xiuyan to see what a lady is, not to mention that her father just became a county magistrate. Learn what other people do for flower banquets, and first follow the girl to learn what etiquette is."

What Xiang'er said reminded Ms. Jing a bit, she hurriedly pushed her girl away, and commanded in a hurry: "Go and take out the narrow jacket made by my mother for me with a thread of gold and a hundred butterflies wearing bright red satin and flowers, and then The emerald flowered crepe skirt that my aunt gave me, and there are others. Ouch, quickly bring me my jewelry box and tell me to choose carefully."

Seeing that the girl was still willing to go, Xiang'er was secretly relieved.Seeing the girl's high spirits in a blink of an eye, Xiang'er herself was also inexplicably happy. The two picked out Miss Jing's abundant jewelry, trying to find a few pieces that could shock Xing Xiuyan, so that the nouveau riche knew what she knew. It is called the inheritance of the big family.

Ms. Jing never thought that her grandfather was just a butcher who sold pork decades ago. If he hadn't confessed to a scholar, the Jing family wouldn't know what to do!

On the fifteenth day, Miss Jing, wearing a crested ibis and jade pendant, came to Xing's house in Mrs. Jing's sedan chair, constantly thinking about how to embarrass Xing Xiuyan.Unexpectedly, at the master's house, Xing Xiuyan called each other his sister so affectionately that Miss Jing couldn't let Miss Jing get mad at all.After entering the inner house, Miss Jing even found out that the magistrate's wife was also there, so she didn't dare to be presumptuous.I can only follow what others say, without any strength.At the end of the banquet, Mrs. Bai had already recognized Miss Jing as her goddaughter, and she even vowed to find a reliable and satisfactory marriage for her goddaughter. Miss Jing was so ashamed that she called "Godmother" tenderly Let Xiuyan have goosebumps all over her body looking for it.

Not long after, Mrs. Bai sent a matchmaker to the Yang family to talk about marriage. Mrs. Yang knew that the woman was the daughter of the magistrate of Taicang, and she agreed with thousands of people.Even before the matchmaker left, Mrs. Yang set off a large hanging of firecrackers on her back, causing the neighbors to ask him if something happened to his house.

Old Mrs. Yang has been frustrated for the past two years!Their family used to be the most beautiful one in the alleys of the East Street, but ever since the Xing family built a pastry workshop, it made the Yang family feel desolate.The old lady felt uncomfortable, and this kind of discomfort became even more intense after knowing that the Xing family moved to live in a big house. The only thing that the old lady hoped for was that her grandson could marry a good wife, and let her enjoy the old Fengjun taste.
