Rongguo Mansion.
Mrs. Wang heard what the maid below said: "Madam, the wife of the Xue family has returned from Jinling Mansion. The wife of Yun Mansion has told her that tomorrow, Mrs. Xue's wife will come to visit her and let her know the news. It was rude and rude when I got it."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang's whole body became much clearer, and her whole mood also improved a lot.
Mrs. Wang has been in a bad mood recently and can't cheer up. .
Jia Tanchun was the girl she had watched growing up.
Now Jia Tanchun is in danger. He still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.
How can you let Mrs. Wang, your aunt, settle down and have a good sleep?
When people get old, they often miss their old friends.
Every time I meet an old friend, I see him once and for all.
Joys and sorrows are the normal state of life.
A hundred years of time for all living beings can pass by in the blink of an eye with just a snap of a finger.
Mrs. Wang could not help but sigh with emotion: "Thinking back to that time, I was also a gorgeous and beautiful girl, and I used to have a deep friendship and laughter with my sisters at home. Now, the sisters around me are separated, even those under my knees are separated. It’s also hard to see children, hey…”
Jia Yuanchun has not seen Mrs. Wang for many years.
Jia Tanchun was also robbed by pirates and disappeared in front of Mrs. Wang.
Although Jia Baoyu is still living in Rongguo Mansion, he still gives Mrs. Wang a headache. He is still like a child who has not yet grown up and always needs their care and discipline. He is far from a mature person. figure.
Mrs. Wang once had a son, but now he is also dead.
The death of her son Jia Zhu was one of the main reasons why Mrs. Wang fasted and chanted Buddha's name.
Now Mrs. Wang's mentality has changed slightly. She looked at the withered yellow leaves in the courtyard, and then stared at the old trees that were gradually drying up, and said: "This bleak scene in the courtyard, I'm afraid our family will be like this if it continues like this." It’s getting more and more dilapidated.”
But everyone who lives in Rongguo Mansion can feel the twilight atmosphere in Rongguo Mansion. It is gloomy and lifeless.
It is different from the Grand View Garden back then.
In the past, Lin Daiyu and others were still girls in the Grand View Garden, and gathering here could still bring a different kind of spring scenery and scenery to the garden.
It's just that now these people are leaving and getting married. They no longer have the delicate thoughts of girls as usual, and come to the garden to laugh and play.
Even though Lin Daiyu and others would occasionally come to visit Mrs. Wang, it was hard to mention too many things after years of hard work.
At the 3rd and 5th party gatherings, the topic is nothing more than whose son is doing, whether his family has any future, etc...
When I was a girl, most of the topics I talked about were playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
At that time, there was also the Haitang Poetry Club where Lin Daiyu and others gathered in the Grand View Garden.
Now that they have become married women, the topics they talk about have naturally changed, mostly focusing on family and country affairs and the development of their heirs.
Whose children are promising and whose children are smart are always compared in one place.
Those who win naturally gain face, feel proud, have happy faces, and feel proud.
Those who didn't win were naturally disgraced, with a look of embarrassment and loneliness on their faces. They wished they could leave this place immediately and find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Mrs. Wang recalled all the things in the past, but she sighed again and said with emotion: "These years are not forgiving!"
........
The next day.
Aunt Xue came to Rongguo Mansion to visit Mrs. Wang.
The two sisters have been separated for many days, and now they meet again in this unstable and chaotic world. It is really not an easy thing. .bμν.
Less gatherings and more separations, this is the world of adults.
No matter how good a friend is, no matter how close a blood sister is, as time goes by,
They are all separated and can no longer return to their hometown like the swallows returning home.
Aunt Xue is accustomed to living in the capital.
She was originally a girl from the Wang family in the capital, and later she went to Jinling Mansion with Xue Pan's father.
Aunt Xue's girlhood and Mrs. Wang's girlhood were both in this capital.
Therefore, Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang have a close relationship and can talk to each other.
Between the two sisters, they talk about everything.
Just like Jia Tanchun and Jia Yingchun from Rongguo Mansion.
Between each other, there are always too many experiences and experiences that they have experienced together.
As they gossiped about various stories that happened in the capital that year, they couldn't help laughing and said, "Sister, do you still remember when you peeked at that unclean book in our small building? matter?"
At this moment, Aunt Xue looked at Mrs. Wang with a smile and told Mrs. Wang's embarrassing things back then.
Back then, Mrs. Wang, like Lin Daiyu, secretly read books such as "The Romance of the West Chamber".
In the eyes of wives from serious and wealthy families, these kinds of books are considered treacherous and treacherous and are not allowed to be read.
Once the wives knew that their daughters had peeked at these pornographic videos, they would inevitably be punished.
Therefore, Aunt Xue knew that Mrs. Wang had peeked at the house.
Most of these books are stories about the inseparable love between poor talented men and ladies.
Most of these books are just the fantasies of poor literati and down-and-out talents.
Often the final ending is rarely a happy ending, and most of them involve both men and women being forced to die for their love under the strong opposition of the woman's parents.
But there are also stories about a disloyal scholar who disappoints a brothel girl, or who abandons his wife and children in order to seek a prosperous prince-in-law. .bμν.
For girls, this kind of past experience may be embarrassing and they may be shy to answer.
However, for Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, it is just the past, an experience of the past years.
After hearing Aunt Xue's remarks, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but frowned and said, "You still said that it wasn't you who encouraged me to go see it in the first place? If you hadn't been the one to fan the flames behind this, how could I have done that? What about the stupid things?"
However, Aunt Xue pursed her lips and snickered: "I just said it casually, but unexpectedly you took it into your heart. You really went to find this book to read it, but now you are blaming me for coming. You really don't think it's your sister's fault."
Mrs. Wang looked at Aunt Xue, shook her head helplessly and said, "Sister, you are still like this after so many years. If anyone else, I'm afraid they don't understand this side of you."
Aunt Xue said with a smile: "You and I have a deep love for each other. If we were outsiders, we would definitely not let them see it. Besides, we both have children, how can we be as casual and comfortable as we were when we were girls?"
