The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 532: Gifts for Everyone

In order to fool around with the trip to the hot spring villa, Xing Xiuyan's wedding date was set at the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month, around halfway.

Grandmother Jia did not dare to slack off and started making great preparations a few days in advance.

Originally, although all the sisters in the Grand View Garden had received the news, they kept it secret because they were considering becoming concubines.

But as the good days approached, there was no way to avoid it, so he had to rush to the Zhuijin Tower.

Yuanchun and Yingchun had mixed feelings. Xing Xiuyun had only been in Beijing for three or four months, and their families had already had a tacit understanding about their relationship with Zhang Yunyi.

Now, Xing Xiuyan came first, but she didn't mention anything to them, which made them confused.

Tanchun was filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.

Knowing the situation of her two sisters, she did not think that Lady Jia was being treacherous. She guessed that it was probably Mrs. Xing's intention, and Lady Jia was just going with the flow.

Although Mrs. Xing is Yingchun's nominal mother, they are not related by blood after all, and she was not raised by her side. How can she be as close to her as Xing Xiuyun, her real niece?
Given Mrs. Xing's greed for money, it was natural that she would flock to Zhang Yunyi. She was afraid that she could not get much benefit from Yingchun, so it made sense for her to arrange for her niece to marry into the family.

Mrs. Xing is attracted by Zhang Yunyi's wealth. Although Mrs. Wang is not like her who only cares about those petty profits, doesn't she still value Zhang Yunyi's power?
Otherwise, he could return home in just a few steps. Why did she have to fawn on him so much last time and insist on keeping him overnight?
It's just that he forgot about himself because he had a daughter.

Compared to them, although Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai knew very little about the inside story, they also had their own positions and didn't know whether to congratulate or sigh.

Originally, Xue Baoqin and Xing Xiuyan had always been close, and they were also neighbors with sharp tongues, so they could have expected her to mediate the atmosphere.

But her mood was quite complicated.

Xing Xiuyun being able to become Zhang Yunyi's concubine was like having another way to ask for favors. Although she had heard about Shi Xiangyun's situation, she was going to be a concubine after all, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad. She put away her usual mischievousness and simply sat aside in silence.

Everyone had their own thoughts, but Shi Xiangyun rushed forward, bowed, handed over a purse, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, sister Xing! Sister, don't worry, Brother Yi is the most considerate, and the old lady is personally guaranteeing it, so he will definitely not let you down!"

Her affairs are already known to everyone, but she acts very carefree.

Xing Xiuyan quickly thanked them. While taking the purse, she bowed deeply to everyone and said, "Sister Xiangyun is right. Thank you all for coming to see me off. I am very grateful to you for promising to take care of me during this period of time. Thank you very much!"

In order to persuade Xing Xiuyun to agree to be a concubine, Xing's wife often told her that Yuanchun and Yingchun were also concubines.

Considering the feelings of the two and Xiangyun, she did not pretend to be sad.

Seeing her being so open and frank, everyone felt much better.

Yuanchun was the oldest and had just fallen behind Xiangyun. Seeing that the silence was broken, she no longer hesitated and quickly handed over a sachet, saying meaningfully: "Everyone has their own destiny. Everyone will have such a day. Sister...you are just one step ahead of the sisters..."

Yuanchun is the eldest, so there is nothing wrong with calling her sister. However, when I think about the order in which people marry into the family, it becomes difficult to call her sister.

I originally wanted to say a few more words, but when the words came to my lips, I felt a little at a loss as to what to say.

She changed her words temporarily, and those who didn't know the truth thought that she was ashamed to call Xing Xiuyan a sister, but those who knew the truth understood what she meant.

Seeing that Yuanchun had made an example of this, Yingchun felt quite embarrassed.

Xing Xiuyan took her hand with understanding, and said, "During this period, I am grateful to my cousin for taking me in and taking good care of me. I will remember this in my heart!"

Yuanchun was not aware that Zhang Yunyi had already made an agreement with the Xing family, and was worried that Lady Jia might have other plans.

But Yingchun was very clear about it and couldn't help but suspect that the problem lay with Zhang Yun逸.

But after hearing Xing Xiuyan's words that she remembered, she couldn't help but think of what Zhang Yunyi had said when he was honest with her. She couldn't help but guess that Zhang Yunyi was afraid of embarrassing her, so he let Xing Xiuyan give him a head start, and she felt relieved.

While handing over the gift, she said with a smile: "Don't say that. You and I are cousins. We should support each other!"

As he was speaking, Lin Hongyu walked in from outside.

He bowed to everyone and said apologetically, "My aunt is here. There are some things I need to tell the girls. Please leave for the time being!"

Originally, the training and guidance before marriage should have been completed a few days in advance.

However, Xing Xiuyan's mind was in a mess due to her mother's advice, and she couldn't bear to look at the picture albums brought by Xing's wife. She thought that she would delay it for as long as possible and kept delaying it until now.

Unexpectedly, by chance, I was caught by my sisters.

Xing Xiuyan was suddenly overwhelmed with shame and no longer had the composure she had just had. Her face turned red and she didn't know what to do.

Although most of the girls in the scene had not experienced this before, there were some who were experienced. Yuanchun had experience in this area before entering the palace, so she was very familiar with it and quickly asked her sisters to leave.

Although Lin Daiyu and Xue Baoqin were a little confused, they were also worried about how to face Xing Xiuyun. Now they saved themselves the trouble and felt relieved. They handed over the gifts with the other girls and left with Yuanchun and others.

When the girls were around, Xing Xiuyan wished she could find a crack in the ground, but when they left and she saw her mother enter the room, she felt like she was going to the execution ground.

……

at the same time.

In Huifang Garden, the You sisters, Qin Keqing, Xiangling and others also gathered together.

Third Sister You lay on the bed, stretched, and complained: "Sister, how did you choose this day? Can't you wait until after the New Year? After you have a new lover, you will forget the old one... It's a pity that we are still looking forward to going to the hot spring to relieve our fatigue..."

You Erjie raised her hand and patted her on the buttocks, and said with a smile: "That Miss Xing looks like a steady person who is not cunning. I'm sure she won't be difficult to get along with!"

Xiangling clapped her hands and laughed, "Yes! Yes! Miss Xing is not only good-tempered, but also has a high level of attainment in poetry!"

Upon hearing this, Third Sister You laughed out loud and sneered, "You! Are you possessed by a demon? If I ask you to marry Miss Lin, Miss Bao and the others tomorrow, won't you applaud even more?"

"Really?" Xiangling clasped her hands together and placed them against her chest.

Seeing Xiangling couldn't help but be happy, You Sanjie felt like she had punched cotton, with nowhere to exert force, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Qin Keqing frowned and glanced at You Shi in confusion, "Why is it just Miss Xing? Wouldn't it be easier to invite the others to marry as well?"

"Who says it's not true?" Youshi complained, "I thought so originally, but the old lady insisted that the eldest daughter's father was not around, so it was not appropriate for her to marry in. She wanted to wait for the second master to come back, and she also took the second daughter along, saying that there was a hierarchy of seniority."

Youshi naturally knew that Qin Keqing hated the whole Rongguo Mansion and wanted to make fun of it.

I thought she would feel disappointed after hearing this, but unexpectedly, she squinted her eyes, nodded and said, "That's true! If the second master over there can't see his daughter go out, wouldn't it be a lot less fun?"

As she spoke, Qin Keqing stood up from the stool, smoothed the hem of her clothes, and said with a smile, "Tomorrow is a good day. As sisters, we can't be too stingy and let mother-in-law worry about it alone. At least we should go to Linshui Pavilion and help with the decorations."

She set an example, so You Erjie and Xiangling had no objection. You Sanjie also couldn't stand out from the crowd, so she had to get up from the bed reluctantly.
