The Third Sister of You's Family in the Red Chamber
Chapter 3 Letters From Home
As the saying goes, "Life is not a lack of beauty, but a lack of eyes to discover beauty." Yao Shan has just made up her mind to work hard to lead the whole family to live a happier life. By the way, she will become the strong backing of her sister Youshi. This opportunity has just come. .
The cause of the incident was a letter from Duzhong.
This letter from home was sent to my mother Yu Shi.
Yao Shan was surprised for a while when she heard the words from her mother's girl Cui Ju.It is already a rare thing for a mother who doesn't know a single word to write a family letter, not to mention, as far as she knows, her mother has been in the Yu family for almost a long time. It was already unaccompanied.
Since my mother, Yu Shi, was unfortunately widowed five years ago, and my grandfather passed away within a year, the family of my grandfather, who was already thin, had almost no one left.My grandmother left early, and I couldn't leave my mother with any brothers and sisters. Although there is an uncle who was a concubine, it is said that he has not made much progress since he was a child. After going there, I haven't heard from him for more than ten years, and I don't know whether he is alive or dead, and he is basically the same as no one.
Under such circumstances, Yao Shan really couldn't figure out who the person who could send the letter home to her mother was.
Fortunately, she can read.Apart from Mr. You and the married Youshi in the family, she is the only one who knows the most words.
The second sister's hobbies are not on this, what people pay attention to is that women's lack of talent is virtue, and they specialize in needlework, cooking and housekeeping every day, and they are waiting to get married in two years.
My old lady Yu Shi has neither the condition nor the idea.It is normal for a woman of her age and family background to be illiterate.
Only Yao Shan, because of the time-travel hook, is considered a cultural person.Although I feel a little pain in ancient Chinese and traditional Chinese characters, compared with my mother and sister, it is considered to have a solid foundation and understand by analogy, and it is very easy to pick up again.
Therefore, when Mr. You's enthusiasm for teaching and educating people was extinguished by the burnout and perfunctory of his wife and second daughter, he finally regained his vitality in his youngest daughter Yao Shan.
Especially this youngest daughter can learn it as soon as she is taught, she has a photographic memory, she is simply talented.After two years, under the guidance of Mr. You, Yao Shan "finished" dozens of ancient books.In addition to the Taoist classics that the master likes, there are also the Book of Songs, ancient prose, and even the Four Books... No matter what the book is, as long as Master You teaches it once and asks again the next day, Yao Shan has already "remembered" it, which makes the old man often regret Well, if the youngest daughter is a boy, with such talent, she can almost go to the No. [-] examination.
Yu Shi is naturally happy when her daughter is praised, even the second sister is also happy for her younger sister.It's just that Yao Shan herself is often a little ashamed, and somewhat embarrassing about having turned on a cheating device.However, no matter how bad I am, I have studied for more than [-] years in this world. Although a bachelor's degree is not comparable to the position of a Shenma University bachelor in this era, it will not really change my life.Therefore, it is really not surprising to upgrade the knowledge accumulated in this world to traditional Chinese characters and ancient style formats. After all, we have also studied hard in this world for more than ten years.Thinking about it this way, he gradually calmed down.
Because of this specialty, Yao Shan occasionally worked part-time as Master You's book boy.She is still young, and it is not convenient for her to serve pen and ink, but it is always possible to read books and letters.Mr. You already loved her very much and wished to spend more time with her, but most likely he was using this pretense to enjoy more of the family relationship between father and daughter.
But also because of this, the family members have developed the habit of coming to Yao Shan whenever there is anything in the letter, almost forgetting the fact that she is only five or six years old.
Mother Yu Shi was afraid that she would be tired, but Yao Shan didn't think it mattered. Anyway, reading letters and writing didn't take much for her, and it happened to be able to control all kinds of news. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Based on such a custom, the letter to her mother, Yu Shi, was naturally read by Yao Shan to her mother in person.
"Cousin Yuexia Fangjian..."
As soon as Yao Shan read the envelope, her mother's face changed a little.After reading the full text and reading the inscription "Sister Yunrui pays homage to her", my mother's tears have already flowed down.
She grabbed the letter, stared at Yao Shan and asked, "Third sister, you just read it, are you serious?"
Yao Shan nodded and said, "Of course it's true, it's just that Aunt Yunrui..."
Before Yao Shan could finish asking, she saw her mother Yu Shi was crying more and more, she hurriedly stepped forward to support her, only to hear Yu Shi choked up and said: "My poor sister Yunrui." After reading it again, she fainted In the past, Yao Shan was scared to death.The second sister, who was doing needlework in the inner suite, rushed over when she heard the sound, tears welled up immediately, and she almost fainted along with her.Fortunately, Yao Shan was calm enough, and ordered the maid who served her to pinch the old lady, and it took her a long time to wake her up again.
There were still tears on Yu's face, looking at the two daughters around her, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh, put her arms around one and said: "My son, mom is fine, just thinking of your hard-fated aunt, I just thought of you for a while. Not angry, it’s just a distraction.”
Seeing her mother crying sadly, the second sister felt the same way and shed tears along with her.Yao Shan saw her mother and elder sister crying together, but she couldn't figure it out at all, so she could only support the two of them, and slowly persuaded: "Mom, second elder sister, what do you mean? What Aunt Yunrui said in the letter clearly It's a happy event, why are you crying so sadly?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Yu took the handkerchief just now, wiped away her tears and said, "Look at what happened, it's so damn wrong... Third sister, you are young, and you have never met your Aunt Yunrui. When my sister was young, she came to our house a few times. She even hugged her..."
Yao Shan listened to her old lady start telling the story of the past, she cried out in her heart that it was not good. Sure enough, Mrs. Yu recalled bitterness and sweetness, and talked eloquently for half an hour. The topic of "Aunt Yunrui".
It turned out that Aunt Yunrui was the direct cousin of Aunt Yu's family. Although she was also a girl from a small family, she had always been loved as a treasure in her hands.Yu's aunt left early, and her uncle married another stepwife. Within a few years, she had two sons and a daughter. After a few years, when she was only nine or ten years old, her biological father was gone, and before she was ready for filial piety, this vicious step-wife found an excuse to sell her off.
Apparently this aunt had a very good relationship with Mrs. Yu when she was young, so Mrs. Yu told her story with emotion and emotion. Even Yao Shan couldn't help sighing that this child's fate is indeed tragic, and the suffering is overwhelming. Cinderella who doesn't have a glass slipper... I just don't know if she has a prince...
Just thinking about it, Yu's side has already said it very tacitly.
"Oh, I haven't heard from her for five or six years, and I still think she is gone...Who Chengwang wrote a letter today, it's a sin."
As she spoke, she shed tears again, and handed the book back to Yao Shan, asking her to read it again.
Yao Shan had no choice but to read it carefully again.When he said, "After a long time, my sister will be stuck in the mud, and I'm afraid I won't see you again", Yu Shi cried a few times.And when it comes to "fortunately meeting the benevolent Lord, I will never give up, and serve the pillow mat", the sorrow turns into joy.All these, crying and laughing, I really don't know what to do.
For the sentimental old lady, Yao Shan has always been patient enough, and it is also because she followed her mother's order to read it again, and finally figured out the reason.
It turned out that the cousin of the mother's aunt's family was sold to be a slave because she met her vicious stepmother after her mother and father died.After visiting several houses and suffering a lot, fortunately, it was bought by a good family.This family is not only a powerful and prominent family, but also a scholarly family. The masters are all of high quality, so naturally they will not be too harsh on the servants.It can also be regarded as a turn of events, this Aunt Yunrui has been unlucky for so long, because she recognized a few words with her father who was a scholar when she was a child, she was chosen by the young master of that family to be a girl by chance.
In the past two years, I have grown older, and it happens that the eldest grandma has nowhere to go. Seeing that she is an honest child, she decides to give her face to be a housekeeper.She was also lucky, she became pregnant in less than a year, and because she was homesick during her pregnancy, the mistress of the family graciously allowed her to visit her old relatives and friends.
Since Aunt Yunrui didn't want to see her vicious relatives again, she only thought of her cousin whom she had the best relationship with when she was young, so she boldly begged the mistress, searched for Yu's trace, and sent a letter from her family.
Yao Shan managed to sort out the relationship, and was sighing secretly, but suddenly heard the servant outside the door reporting: "Madam, the messenger outside is still waiting to answer, do you think it is going or not?"
Only then did Yu come to her senses and said: "Ah, go, of course we are going, second sister and third sister, go and change your clothes quickly, when I get back to you, master, let's go see you Yunrui together tomorrow." Aunt to go."
Yao Shan and the second sister naturally had no objections.When Mr. You came back in the evening, he was taken aback, but he still carefully chose the gift himself, and handed it over to Mrs. Yu to bring it over the next day.
Not only that, even Yao Shan and her second sister's clothes and headgears were carefully selected by Mrs. Yu, and she picked the best one before going out.
Although Yao Shan felt a little strange, she didn't think much about it.At times like this, she usually does what a five-year-old child should do.This is also the reason why she still wins the favor of the whole family even though her words and deeds often escape.Everyone likes a child with eyesight, and she must be sensible when she should be sensible, otherwise, if she is not even let out of the door next time, the loss outweighs the gain.
So, when she arrived at the place where Aunt Yunrui lived now in a carriage with her mother and sister, she was taken aback.
When the people inside greeted them and took them in, she was completely speechless.
Relatives will come to the imperial envoy's mansion in Qiandu for the sake of God.
Also, the young master who saved his aunt was named Lin, and the wife he married was named Jia.
Yao Shan quietly covered her head while You Shi was exchanging greetings with Jia Shi, and growled secretly in her heart: Don't tell me, this beauty is Jia Min, and isn't the new cousin-in-law Lin Ruhai?God, it doesn't bring such excitement.
She was frantic and collapsing there, suddenly there was a soft and soft voice next to her, and said childishly: "My sister, what's wrong with you? But you don't feel well?"
The cause of the incident was a letter from Duzhong.
This letter from home was sent to my mother Yu Shi.
Yao Shan was surprised for a while when she heard the words from her mother's girl Cui Ju.It is already a rare thing for a mother who doesn't know a single word to write a family letter, not to mention, as far as she knows, her mother has been in the Yu family for almost a long time.
