Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 157 Mrs.

Su Ran looked at the veil that fell at her feet and was very confused.

If this is an ownerless veil, you can choose to ignore it or pick it up.

However, this veil actually belongs to Jia Yingchun's stepmother, Mrs. Xing.

Under such circumstances, if I picked it up and handed it to her, I would definitely feel a little weird.

But if you don't pick it up, there seems to be something wrong.

Just such a simple white embroidered handkerchief made Su Ran, who had been rolling among the dead for many years, feel the pressure.

In fact, Mrs. Xing may have been misunderstood by everyone.

That is, she is older than Mrs. Wang.

actually not.

In Chapter 70 of A Dream of Red Mansions No. [-], there is a passage written by Uncle Xing like this.

[Uncle Xing said: "Old nephew, you don't know about my Xing family. I was young when my mother passed away, so I didn't know anything about the world. There are three of his sisters, and you are the only one who made my aunt out of the cabinet when she was older, and he controlled all the property. Bring it here. Although the second sister is also out of the cabinet, his family is also in a difficult situation. The third sister is still at home, and all the expenses are in charge of the accompanying room Wang Shanbao's family here. I came to ask for money, and it must be you, Jia The Xing family’s furniture is just enough for me. Unfortunately, I can’t get it, so I have no way to complain.”]

From what Uncle Xing said, we can know that Mrs. Xing has four sisters in total, and Mrs. Xing is the oldest and Uncle Xing is the youngest.

Mrs. Xing had already married Jia She when Uncle Xing's mother passed away. Uncle Xing didn't know the world at that time, so he should be between one and five years old. When he came here to gamble at Jia Zhen's house, the third sister was still at home and hadn't left the cabinet. Generally no more than 20 years old.

He has three sisters. If Mrs. Xing is in her 40s, it is obviously unreasonable for Mrs. Xing to be more than 20 years older than the third sister Xing.

The reason why he is called Uncle Xing means that he has no elder brother, so it is assumed that his mother died when Uncle Xing was one year old, and now the third sister is less than twenty, Uncle Xing is younger than the third sister, and Uncle Xing is less than 20 years old Years old, just sixteen or seventeen years old.

When Uncle Xing's mother died, only Mrs. Xing was the elder to leave the cabinet, which means that the second sister was not yet old enough to leave the cabinet at that time, and she should be under 15 years old.

The age difference between the eldest sister and the second sister should not be too big, between three and five years old, and Mrs. Xing should not be more than 20 years old at that time.

According to this calculation, Mrs. Xing's current age is only 37 or [-] years old at most.

Therefore, Mrs. Xing should be at least three or four years younger than Mrs. Wang.

Of course, this is inferred from Cao Gong's original text.

In fact, Mrs. Xing herself was standing not far away from her now.

Although this is not the first time Su Ran has seen each other, she didn't pay much attention before that.

To be honest, I don't have much affection for Jia She or Mrs. Xing.

However, at this moment, Mrs. Xing's veil fell at her feet.

Moreover, it seems impossible to be blown away by the wind in a short time.

Su Ran hesitated again and again, and finally bent down and picked up the white embroidered handkerchief.

When Mrs. Xing saw Su Ran picking up her handkerchief, her expression immediately became a little unnatural.

To be honest, she didn't actually want to come to the Prince Regent's Mansion today, but she had to make such a trip because she was tortured by Jia She.

In Jia She's words, Mrs. Wang runs here every two days. As mother-in-law, shouldn't you often visit your daughter Yingchun and your son-in-law?
What Mrs. Xing was thinking in her heart was actually that Yingchun was not my biological child, so what kind of daughter was she to me?

However, as a stepmother, she couldn't say that.

After all, sometimes things on the scene still have to be maintained.

However, I came here today not just to visit Jia Yingchun, but for other reasons.

But Mrs. Xing never expected that just as she walked to the door, the handkerchief in her hand was suddenly blown away by the wind.

Unfortunately, the personal belongings that he kept with him fell at Su Ran's feet.

Originally, she wanted to go up and pick it up by herself, but for some unknown reason, she couldn't move after arriving here.

After just a few hesitations, the veil fell into Su Ran's hands.

Seeing the other party getting closer and closer with the handkerchief, Mrs. Xing became more and more nervous.

When Su Ran saw Mrs.

It wasn't until this time that Su Ran saw Mrs. Xing's face clearly for the first time.This woman is a little different from Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang's face is a thin type, with a pointed nose and chin, and she looks thinner.

Mrs.

The most prominent ones are the breasts and butt, both of which are much plumper than Mrs. Wang.

Especially the crotch looks relatively wide, and she looks like the kind of woman who is very fertile.

But such a woman, since marrying into Jia's family, has not given birth to a son or a half to Jia She.

In other words, so far, Mrs. Xing has not been pregnant.

As to whether it was her fault or whether Jia She was no longer good at it when she married in, it is unknown.

On the other hand, Mrs. Wang, who did not look so rich, gave birth to Jia Zhu, Jia Baoyu, and daughter Jia Yuanchun to the Jia family one after another. It can be said that she was particularly capable of giving birth.

As for Mrs. Xing's appearance, although it is not very beautiful, it is also of the good-looking type. In addition, she is still young and well-maintained, so it is quite comfortable to look at.

When Mrs. Xing saw Su Ran handing over the handkerchief, she immediately reached out to take it with an awkward smile on her face.

Seeing this, Su Ran said calmly, "Since you're here, let's go in and sit for a while."

When Mrs. Xing heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little thumped in her heart.

Listening to this tone, it seems that I came at a bad time.

However, since the other party let in, Mrs. Xing, who took over the handkerchief, had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow behind Su Ran.

After the two of them sat down in the living room, the maid immediately brought them tea.

However, Mrs. Xing, who had taken the liberty to come to the door, was already feeling uneasy. Now she saw that Su Ran looked serious and unsmiling, and she felt even more uneasy.

Therefore, even though you are sitting on a chair, your butt actually only touches a corner of the chair surface.

Su Ran picked up the tea cup and gestured to her, then took a sip of the hot tea that had just been brewed.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xing also took a sip from her teacup, but immediately put the teacup down.

However, when she put down her teacup, she didn't know how to speak, she just looked at Su Ran with a smirk on her face.

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Su Ran had no choice but to speak first: "Yingchun is doing well in the mansion, do you want to visit her and talk to her?"

Hearing this, Mrs.

When Su Ran heard this, he said calmly: "Just tell me if you have anything to do, and I will do whatever I can for you."

Seeing this, Mrs. Xing moved her mouth and said, "Yingchun's father asked me to come here because he wanted to ask you to find something to do for Yingchun's brother Jia Lian. I don't know if it's convenient."

Su Ran saw that the other party came here to find work for Jia Lian, and suddenly remembered that it had been decided this morning that Han Zijing was going to the northwest to quell the rebellion.

These young masters of the Jia family have been accustomed to being pampered since they were young, and they are not good at literary or martial arts.

Now there is no hope for Jia Lian to study hard at such an old age. It is better to let him go to the army to gain experience, and maybe he can make some achievements.

Thinking of this, Su Ran looked at Mrs. Everything is easy to talk about, but I am worried about whether he has the courage."

When Mrs.

In addition, Jia Lian was her stepson, so she didn't think much about it. She immediately thanked Su Ran profusely, then left the Regent's Palace and went back to reply to Jia She.

When Jia She heard that Jia Lian was to go to the battlefield, his head suddenly hurt.

There are no weapons on this battlefield, so if something goes wrong, it's no joke.

However, when I thought that Su Ran had already made up his mind, it seemed a little bad not to say no at this time.

In addition, since the other party said this, he probably just asked Jia Lian to hang out and take care of food and other things, and he would not really be allowed to go into battle to fight with the enemy.

Jia She's idea was to let Jia Lian follow him first, and then ask Yingchun to give Su Ran a pillow breeze and help take care of her. He guessed that there was no danger in this matter.

In this way, Jia Lian was arranged to go to the front line under the operation of his stepmother, Mrs. Xing.
