Lin Xuan of the Red Chamber

In Lin Mansion, in a quiet and elegant courtyard, Hong Ying was wearing a peach-colored jacket and a long skirt embroidered with peony branches, sitting on the couch, holding a rattle in her hand and teasing Lin Xuan. The maid also took those little tigers, small toys and other things to tease Lin Xuan again.

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes, he really didn't want to pay attention to his mother's childish behavior, she was so grown up, and she was speechless to tease him with such things.

But seeing Hong Ying and the maidservants persevering, as if they would not give up until they got a response, Lin Xuan could only helplessly wave his little hand, giving them some reaction.

"It's moving, auntie, my brother is moving, look at it, it's so cute." Seeing Lin Xuan's little hand move, as if to grab the rattle in Hongying's hand, Shuxiang exclaimed in surprise.

"Yeah, he moved, Xuan'er moved, Shuxiang, do you think he wants this rattle?" Hong Ying stretched out and shook the rattle in front of Lin Xuan, trying to arouse Lin Xuan's reaction again.

Lin Xuan yawned lazily. He really didn't want to pay attention to these naive women anymore. He was not a toy, so it was really annoying to be around him all day.

"Scholar, look quickly, look quickly, it's so cute, Xuan'er is really cute, look at his small mouth, is he smiling, is he smiling at me again?" Hong Ying was pleasantly surprised With a loud cry, he quickly asked while holding Shuxiang's hand.

Before Shuxiang had any reaction, Lin Xuan was completely speechless. He had convinced these women, so why did he make such a fuss? Every time he made a move, he kept chattering. What is there to say, they are not bored, but they are bored.

"Scholarly, look at Xuan'er, he's so chubby, look at his calf, it's white and tender, doesn't it look like the knotted lotus root?" Hongying looked at Lin Xuan's fat knots arms and legs, suddenly asked in a flash of inspiration.

Shuxiang looked at it carefully, and nodded affirmatively: "My aunt is right." After a pause, she smiled again: "This is thanks to my aunt's raising, who raised my brother to be fat and white, who cares?" don't you like it?"

Hongying smiled happily, looking at Lin Xuan's white and tender face, she couldn't help it, so she went up to kiss Lin Xuan with a bang.

Lin Xuan was taken aback by the sneak attack, and after realizing it, he waved his little hand angrily, refusing anyone to approach him, it was really disgusting, actually...actually kissed me secretly, really...really, ahhhhh, I hate it to death...

Lin Xuan was lying on the bed at this time, his white and tender face turned red with anger, his big black and white eyes were flickering, and his chubby little hands were waving constantly. Yuxue was so cute that he couldn't describe it.

Hong Ying and the maidservants beside her couldn't help laughing out loud. Hearing the crisp laughter, Lin Xuan no longer knew what he was thinking. He could only lie down there helplessly and pretended to be asleep. up.

At this moment, the door curtain was lifted, and Nanny Qi walked in with a happy face. Seeing that Hong Ying was still playing with her brother, she hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously: "Oh, my aunt, you Why are you still here to play with my brother, hurry up and clean up."

Hongying looked at Nanny Qi strangely, covered Lin Xuan with a quilt unhurriedly, and replied calmly: "Mommy, what's wrong with you today? What's the matter, speak slowly, don't worry..."

Grandma Qi was also a little confused when she saw Hongying's calm look, so how could my aunt react like this to such a big happy event, and after thinking about it, she realized that my aunt is probably busy taking care of her brother these days, so why not know the news.

She said with a smile: "This is a great event, my aunt will be happy to hear it."

Hongying glanced at her sideways, and complained: "Okay, mama, you're still playing tricks on me, what's the matter, hurry up and tell me."

When Nanny Qi heard the words, she stopped being a fool, and said directly: "My uncle won the provincial examination No. 1, Xie Yuan, our uncle is now the Duke of Xie Yuan, and the Shen family can be regarded as a scholarly family now." , if the master has a spirit in heaven, I don’t know how happy I will be when I hear it.”

After hearing this, Hongying stood up abruptly, not even noticing that the rattle in her hand had fallen to the ground. She was so excited and joyful that she couldn't even speak for a while.

"Is it true, Nanny, did I hear it right? Is it true? I heard it right. Is it true? My brother understands Yuan, and my brother actually knows Yuan..." Hong Ying didn't know what to do with her hands. Putting it there, my face was full of excitement and disbelief.

Nanny Qi understands Hong Ying's feelings, not to mention Hong Ying, but her heart is full of unspeakable excitement and excitement. It is the wish of several generations of the Shen family to have a Juren, and now the uncle has finally come true , This is such a great event for the glory of the ancestors.

"Auntie, that's right, you didn't hear me wrong, I know Yuan, this is the list that was released a few days ago, there can be no mistake," Nanny Qi said excitedly while helping Hongying to sit down.

"Great, this is really great, if father is alive in the sky, he can rest in peace after hearing this news." Hong Ying's eyes faintly flickered with tears.

"Nurse, this is really great, great, my brother's years of studying hard in the cold window are finally not in vain, my father's wishes and expectations all these years have finally come true, and my brother's ambition has finally come true, Mammy, mammy, that's great...this is really great..." This is the expectation of the Shen family for generations, the grandfather, father, and elder brother have put in so much hard work, and now it is finally rewarded. God finally did not disappoint the Shen family again.

--------

It took a long time for Hong Ying to calm down, but after she calmed down, Hong Ying couldn't help feeling a little sad.

"Mom, I'm afraid my brother really annoyed me, but he didn't even tell me about such a big event as him going to take part in the provincial examination. Now that he passed the exam, he didn't send anyone to notify me after he became acquainted with Duke Yuan. , Brother, I’m afraid he won’t recognize me as a younger sister again.” Hong Ying’s expression was gloomy, and her tone was low, with indescribable loss and sadness.

After hearing this, Nanny Qi hurriedly persuaded: "Auntie, how can you think that way? You and the uncle are brothers and sisters. They grew up together since childhood. Don't you know how much the uncle loves you?"

"That's right, how could Tangtang Jie Yuangong have a younger sister who is a concubine! It's right for my brother to do this." Hongying laughed at herself. She felt so bitter that she couldn't listen to Nanny Qi's comfort. It seems that she has completely given up on her, don't want her...

"Auntie" Qi Mama saw Hong Ying so sad and self-pitying, she couldn't help feeling a little bit of resentment in her heart, she thought about it, and called Hong Ying loudly.

Seeing Hongying staring at her blankly, Nanny Qi said with a serious tone, "Auntie, how can you think of uncle like this? How did uncle treat you? Even if you forget, I won't forget it. That's really a hundred Be careful, I have never forgotten you since I was a child, I am afraid that you will be wronged, and now that you think about uncle so much, how sad will uncle be if he knows?"

Seeing that Hongying seemed to be listening, Nanny Qi couldn't help softening her voice, "Auntie, I know what you're thinking, you think the uncle didn't inform you about such a big event, the last time my brother was full moon, the uncle didn't Come to participate, I must have annoyed you and your wife to make up your own mind, and don't want to see you again."

Hong Ying nodded, sighed faintly, and said: "Nurse, you know my eldest brother's temper, such a proud person, but my mother and I made our own decisions without discussing with him and married into this Lin family. I don't know how angry my brother will be if he is a concubine."

"Auntie, it's your fault. Think about it. You and the uncle are brothers and sisters who are direct relatives. You suddenly married into the Lin family and became an auntie. Can this uncle feel better?"

Hongying's complexion became a little ugly, or embarrassing. Although the meaning of what Nanny Qi said was cryptic, it still couldn't be hidden from her, or Nanny Qi didn't intend to hide it from her at all.

Glancing at Nanny Qi, Hong Ying lowered her head slightly, and sighed involuntarily in her heart. Nanny Qi has always opposed her marrying into the Lin Mansion and becoming a concubine. Even if she followed her to the Lin Mansion now, it was only because of Qi Mammy is worried that she will be alone in this deep house compound, not only because she is afraid that she will be wronged, but also because she is afraid that she will be harmed without knowing it.

Nanny Qi is her nanny, and she watched her coax her to grow up. She knew that she was even more important than her own daughter to Nanny Qi, and she knew that what Nanny Qi said was all For her own good, she now truly understands the pain of being a concubine, and also understands why her mother and nanny are so against it. Although she has heard and understood something before, she has never experienced it herself, and she cannot understand it in the end. , That's why she chose thousands of times and ended up marrying into Lin's mansion.

However, even if she understood now, she never regretted it, because God had already given her the best gift as compensation.

Hong Ying turned around and looked at Lin Xuan who was still lying on the bed pretending to be asleep, and smiled with indescribable tenderness and warmth.
