The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 57
(Second more sent)

Xiuyan had a good night's sleep. When she got up early the next day, it was snowing heavily outside. White light had already penetrated through the curtains and windows. Xiuyan put on her clothes and opened a small crack in the window lattice slightly. Countless snowflakes mixed with the cold wind gushed. In the inner room, fluttering like white butterflies, the table under the window lattice was immediately covered.

"Sister, is it snowing?" Daiyu sat up sleepily from the bed, Xiuyan hurriedly closed the window, and said with a smile: "Not only is it snowing, but it's still going strong, I think I'll go home today .”

When Daiyu heard that Xiuyan was going to leave, she immediately showed reluctance. Xiuyan sat beside her and said with a smile: "I have lived here for two days, and I have seen enough of what the mother's family's garden looks like. I'm afraid if I don't leave again." If someone says I'm greedy for prosperity."

Daiyu bowed her head and remained silent, because what Sister Xing said was true, she is not a serious lady of the Jia family, so what excuse does she have to keep her sister?
Xiuyan smiled again: "Besides, our family just moved in, and Mom can't do it alone. The Fengwei Hutong is so chaotic. I can't be quiet even if I stay silent. Why don't I go back and tidy up earlier. During the Chinese New Year Picking you up to live here is worse than living here uneasy."

When Sister Xing said so much, it was even more difficult for Daiyu to stay, and she only hoped that Fengwei Hutong would be repaired soon, so that she could go home to celebrate the New Year.

The two little sisters got dressed under the service of Zijuan and Meilian, Mio hugged the girl's things, and everyone prepared to go to Jia Mu's upper room to resign.As soon as she arrived at the door, Daiyu saw Siqi, the eldest girl of her second sister Jia Yingchun, hurried over.

"Miss Lin is here!" Siqi heaved a sigh of relief, and was about to speak, but it was obvious that the eldest wife's niece was next to him, and Siqi was a little hesitant.

"Miss Xing is not an outsider, if you have anything to say, just say it." Daiyu probably guessed the other party's intention in her heart.

Siqi looked at Xiuyan embarrassingly, and said hesitantly: "It's snowing this morning, but the charcoal in our girl's house has run out. I thought of coming to Miss Lin's place to ask. If there is any extra, please lend us some first. We will return it to Miss Lin when Second Grandma delivers it next month."

It's only the middle of the month now, and Daiyu would never believe it if the charcoal was used up. It must be the second sister's nurse who secretly took out the good silver frost charcoal to exchange for wine. I have been coughing for two days, but it turned out to be cold.

Daiyu was about to order Zijuan to bring charcoal for the chess player, but Xiuyan stopped her and said, "It just so happens that I want to visit my second sister before I leave. You go to the old lady first, and let Zijuan accompany me."

Xiuyan did not say goodbye to others but only said Jia Yingchun, no one could tell the truth, who said that the two of them were cousins ​​by name.Si Qi anxiously hugged Tan and followed behind Xiuyan and Zijuan, and the group went straight to Zhuijinlou.

The building was cold and gloomy, Xiuyan walked all the way and saw few people, only the window was lonely, and the screen was bleak, Siqi trotted a few steps into Yingchun's room: "Girl, Miss Xing is here to see you."

There was a sudden panic in the room, and the second girl, Jia Yingchun, was anxious and coughed: "Please come in, sister Xing."

Xiuyan felt uncomfortable, Jia Baoyu's maids must live more comfortably than her.Yingchun was half lying on the bed in a thick jacket, her face was pale and bloodless, and she struggled to get up when she saw Xiuyan coming in.

"Second sister, lie down." Xiuyan pressed Yingchun, the girl was cold all over, Xiuyan said anxiously: "Siqi, quickly turn on the charcoal fire, and cook a thick bowl of ginger soup for second sister to drive away the cold."

Yingchun looked at the small basket of charcoal fire that Siqi brought, afraid that it would be used up all at once, and would be even more sad in the next half month, so she hurriedly said: "No, no, I, I am not cold at all. Just make me a cup of hot tea. .”

Xiuyan said viciously: "It's fine if I can't see it, but the second sister is ruining her body in front of me, you tell me to turn a blind eye? No way! Siqi, don't listen to your girl, she loves charcoal, wait for me to ask Your second grandma, how does she take care of her sister! Your second grandma doesn't care about things, and there is an old lady."

Xing Xiuyan's temper is just in line with Siqi's wishes. Although she wants to be strong, she has no choice but to hold her back. Now hearing what Miss Xing said, she can't wait to go out to burn charcoal.

Yingchun knew that Sister Xing had good intentions, but she choked up and said, "Why do you need to find the second sister-in-law for such a trivial matter? It's only cold for two or three days, so let's get over it."

Xiuyan sneered, and scolded Yingchun unceremoniously: "Sister speaks straighter, second sister don't get angry when she hears it. Second sister-in-law is a shrewd person, she only has the reason to be grateful when I go to her for charcoal fire, and she won't find me troublesome. Otherwise, if a young lady really froze to death in the Zhuijin Building and the news spreads, the second sister-in-law will have a hundred mouths to explain herself."

Yingchun choked on the spot, not knowing what to say about Xiuyan.

The cold night was bitter, and no one but her knew the torment of the day.

Xiuyan took Daiyu's hand stove from Zijuan and stuffed it into Yingchun's bosom, "I say it's ugly, but"

Yingchun raised her palm-sized face: "Second elder sister knows that my younger sister has good intentions. I only hate myself for not letting my wife down."

Xiuyan snorted: "What does it have to do with your wife? She eats and drinks herself, and doesn't think about you, but you think about her instead? Maybe she knew that your nanny was stealing things, so she hid in the corner and watched you make a fool of yourself! "

Yingchun's face turned pale: "No, my wife won't do that."

Zijuan couldn't help but said: "Second Miss, let me be fair, I'm afraid everyone knows what day it is in your room, but Third Miss and the others are your nanny, so it's not easy to intervene."

Yingchun panicked, so everyone is watching her joke?Fortunately, she thought she had covered it up.It turns out that I am still deceiving myself.

Zijuan said again: "Second Miss, you should get rid of your nanny earlier, she often speaks ill of the girl outside, and most of the servants in the mansion know how many of your hairpins and rings are worn on her daughter-in-law's head. "

"What can I say, she is my wet nurse after all." Ai Ai said during the puberty period.

Xiuyan sneered: "If the second sister always thinks this way, it will look ignorant if we persuade her again. As the old saying goes, a good man is bullied by others, a good horse is ridden by others, and the second sister is ridden on the head by a servant Fu, your sisters will not behave well in the husband's family in the future."

Yingchun felt that what Xiuyan said was a bit exaggerated, so she whispered: "No, the third sister and the fourth younger sister are kind-hearted and will be rewarded. I think, I will endure the nurse for a few more years, and wait for the future." Yingchun's face suddenly changed Hongrun said embarrassingly, "In the future, I won't take their family with me."

Xiuyan finally understood why there were so many smart girls in the Grand View Garden, why none of them were willing to come out to enlighten Jia Yingchun, and they were all so pissed off.If you don't live up to it, it's useless for someone behind to whip you with a whip.

Xiuyan got up to leave, but halfway there, she turned and walked back: "My younger sister is not speaking out of anger, I sincerely advise the second sister not to have children in the future, otherwise there will be many poor little lives. The second sister can't even save herself. How can you place your hopes on your in-laws?"
