Chapter 58 Guest
Beijing, Rongguo Mansion.
Aunt Zhao finally found an opportunity to enter her daughter's room.
After a few pleasantries, she asked, "Where is the jewelry that the eldest lady of the East Palace gave me that day? Show it to me."
It’s a whole box, and it looks like a set.
If that's the case, it would be worth a lot of money.
Aunt Zhao has been worried about it for several days.
"It has been put away and recorded."
Tanchun was very wary of her aunt.
You really have to be on guard.
The aunt could take away all the gifts given by the old ladies and the wives, even the New Year's lucky money.
"The old lady said that I should learn to take care of my own things."
Tanchun said, "I have shown all the accounts to the old lady."
She didn't recognize some of the words, so she went to ask her second sister.
"Aunt, the old lady already knows my New Year's money this year..."
"Okay, okay, didn't Auntie save it for you?"
Aunt Zhao didn't dare to let the old lady worry about her, "If you don't want to show it to me, then don't show it to me." She twisted her waist and stood up, "Your brother can already call me sister, go visit him often and take him to play."
"……good!"
If she didn't agree, her aunt would definitely nag her for a long time.
Tanchun has been here since she can remember.
The people around her, as well as the old lady and the wife, all disliked this concubine who liked to stir up trouble.
So even though she knew that I was her biological child, she was not close to me at all.
"good!"
Aunt Zhao touched her daughter's little face and said, "The eldest lady of the East Palace seems to like you very much. Go and play with her often when you have nothing to do."
Even if a little bit of it leaks out, it would be enough for her family to use for most of half a year.
"Don't be with the second girl. She's not an honest person."
She seemed fine before, and she wasn't close to the master, but recently, something is obviously wrong.
They were all born out of wedlock. If the second daughter became outstanding, what would happen to her daughter? Aunt Zhao was very dissatisfied when she heard that the eldest master would sit with Yingchun every time he came to pay his respects to the old lady and send her gifts from time to time.
She wanted to persuade Jia Zheng to look after her daughter more, but although he agreed verbally, he never came to her daughter's place.
Aunt Zhao could only hope that her daughter would be smarter. "Did you hear what I said?"
“…I heard it.”
Tanchun responded with an expression of agreement, but in fact she watched her walk away and then turned and headed east.
She lives in the west end of the side room here, and her second sister lives in the east end.
Recently, my uncle and aunt seem to have remembered my second sister, and they send us anything fun or delicious.
But no matter what it was, even if it was just a bowl of steamed cheese, the second sister would bring it over and eat with her.
Jia Tanchun looked down on her aunt who taught her bad things, "Second sister!"
She raised her foot and was about to step over the threshold with difficulty when she was carried inside by a maid.
"Second Miss, the third lady is here."
“Come quickly!”
When Yingchun heard her sister's voice, she put down her book and came out of the inner room. "Didn't they say your aunt is here?"
"Well, she just said a few words and then she left."
Tanchun acted like a little adult, "Sister, are you reading Zizhi Tongjian again?"
"Um!"
Yingchun took her little hand and led her to the inner room. "Wait until I'm done reading it. You've learned most of the characters. I'll review it with you."
"OK!"
Tanchun was happy, "Second sister, there is no class today, why don't we go to the East Mansion to play!"
When we listened to the opera that day, my aunt liked them very much.
Not only do they give them gifts, but they also give them the delicious food first.
Although she was still young, she knew something about sincerity and falsehood.
When the aunt-in-law left, she was reluctant to let them go and repeatedly invited them to visit the East Palace.
That's not a favor at all.
"Now?"
Yingchun took out the pocket watch her father had given her the other day. It would be Si time in a little while. "This time is almost the time for my aunt to go for a walk." She was also thinking about my aunt over there, so she asked her maid to find out about her aunt's schedule. "Tell the old lady, we'll go over now."
When Grandmother Jia heard the purpose of the two young ladies' visit, she was amused. "Go if you want to! If your aunt wants to invite you to lunch, please send someone back to let her know in advance."
She looked at the maids and servants who followed her and said, "Be careful not to let the girls bump into them. If they get naughty, bring them back as soon as possible."
"Old lady, we are not naughty."
Tanchun stamped her feet.
She and her second sister have never been naughty.
The old lady is old and sleeps lightly, so even when she is playing, the second sister will ask her to lower her voice.
“Hahaha~”
Grandmother Jia was amused by her, "Okay, okay, we are not naughty, it is grandma who is naughty."
"Grandma, why don't you come with us?"
Yingchun also extended an invitation, "Auntie said that Auntie Li over there has just made some crispy pastry and sugar-filled sesame cakes, which are especially delicious."
“…”
Grandmother Jia looked at her second granddaughter who was becoming more and more vocal. She was slightly surprised, but smiled. "Is it delicious? Then ask your aunt to make more. Eat hers later and bring some home."
Hearing this, the two young ladies were a little disappointed, but still responded with a smile.
However, even after the two of them walked away, Grandmother Jia was still turning the jade bracelet on her wrist, looking thoughtful.
The second granddaughter is now more popular than before.
But...
Grandmother Jia sighed slightly.
In fact, she secretly suspected that the second daughter-in-law did not want to educate Yingchun well.
Compared to Yingchun, she is more devoted to San Yatou.
Now I don’t know whether it is good or bad.
While Grandmother Jia was struggling with her feelings, Shen Ning from Ningguo Mansion was only surprised when she heard that the two young ladies were coming.
"Auntie!"
"Auntie..."
“Get up!”
Shen Ning pulled one with each hand, "I was wondering why the magpie was chasing me today." She smiled so hard that her teeth were showing, "Come on, come on, auntie will take you to eat and play today."
"Hehe, Auntie, we are here to eat and drink your food today."
Tanchun smiled happily.
I don’t know why, but she seems particularly relaxed here.
"Little clever!"
Shen Ning tapped her little nose and said, "Just eat and drink. Auntie wishes you could live here."
She really wanted to raise the two children by her side.
In the West Mansion, would Xing be good to Yingchun? Would Wang be good to Tanchun?
Although the old lady kept them by her side, was she sincere? She just treated them like cats and dogs, playing with them when she was happy, and throwing them aside when she was unhappy, leaving them to the servants to take care of them.
Yingchun was bullied by her wet nurse, and it was definitely not just something that happened when she grew up. If the old lady had said something and supported her a little, her temper would not have changed like that.
And Tanchun...
She can see through things, make up her mind, speak out and do things. Although she is talented, she is a girl. Her stepmother is not kind, her biological mother does not love her, and her biological father is even worse than shit.
Her fate...
While watching Red Mansions, Shen Ning sighed for every girl.
Although she has been trying to make many changes since she came to this world, she has not yet survived the crisis of death.
If you still can't escape the fate of the original owner...
Shen Ning has been dealing with her private vault these days. The things in it have been divided into several parts. Although most of them are left to her biological daughters, Yingchun and Tanchun also have quite a few.
"When my aunt gives birth to a younger sister, I will hire a teacher for you. Then you can come and study together, okay?"
Wang family is the head of West Mansion. Whenever Lin Daiyu comes, she can only hide her incompetence and dares not say how much she has read.
Is it shameful to read?
Shen Ning only hoped that she could escape this disaster, and contribute to their poetry club in the future, and to their dowry in the future.
"…Is it too early for my sister to start studying?"
Yingchun didn't know how much she was thinking at this moment. Looking at her belly, she was so surprised.
"It's okay. You guys read. Even if she's just crawling beside you, she can still listen more."
Yingchun: “…”
Tanchun: “…”
Suddenly I don’t know whether to envy my sister or feel pity for her.
You should listen to books while climbing.
Tanchun sometimes went to see her younger brother, who crawled slowly, spoke slowly, and was said to walk later than she did when she was a child.
"Auntie!"
Yingchun was more sympathetic. "When your sister is born, please don't tell her like this. She will be scared."
“Haha~”
Shen Ning was amused by her, "Your sister really likes to listen to people reading. If you don't believe me, recite a passage now. When she hears it, she might immediately move with joy."
Huh? Is that so?
The two little girls were curious about the little sister in her belly. Upon hearing this, Tanchun hurriedly recited the Thousand Character Classic: "The sky and the earth are dark yellow, the universe is vast and boundless. The sun and the moon wax and wane, the stars are lined up..."
