The Red Mansions

Chapter 53

It was cold and bored sitting, so Xiren suggested that Jia Yun teach them how to read and write.

Jia Yun certainly wouldn't refuse, so she set out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, first wrote their names on the paper, and showed them.

"Is this the word charming?" Charming looked at the two words on the paper with fixed gaze, and asked in a low voice.

Xiren smiled and said, "We both have personal characters. You are charming and I am Xiren."

"My original name was actually Hua Zhenzhu. Later, I served Bao Erye. He knew my surname was Hua, and he thought of 'the scent of a flower is like a sudden warmth', so he asked me to change my name to Xi Ren."

"Brother Yun, my name was chosen by Second Master Bao. If you suggest, I can change back to my original name, or you can choose another name for me."

Jia Yun shook her head and said, "No, your name is pretty good. Besides, you are mine now. If I have any suggestions for a name, you can just relax."

Mei Ren smiled and sighed: "Hearing sister Xiren say that, I feel that time flies so fast."

"Speaking of which, in Jia's mansion, there are quite a few people who are about our age, such as Ping'er, Yuanyang, Hubo, Suyun, Zijuan, Caixia, Jin Chuan'er, Yu Chuan'er, Musk Moon, Cui Mo, Cui Ling , Keren, Qianxue and so on."

Jia Yun asked curiously, "Ping'er should be older than you, right?"

"It's not much, Second Mistress Lian seems to be young this year, Ping'er is her dowry maid, so she should be about the same age as her." Charming replied with a smile.

Xiren gave her a blank look, and said, "They're two or three years older than us, which is about the same. I think it's far behind!"

Meiren stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "I don't think two or three years old is really too old, but looking at Miss Ping'er and her appearance, she is much more mature than us!"

"She is older than us, and works harder than us. Second Mistress Lian is not so easy to take care of. Don't look at Miss Ping'er who is usually relaxed, but in fact, she has to watch Second Mistress Lian's face with trepidation." Xiren said in a low voice.

The charming man nodded and agreed: "That's true. Second Master Lian is also a difficult person to get along with. He often quarrels with Second Grandma Lian. Ping'er has made adjustments from it, and he has also taken the blame."

Jia Yun looked at the two people who were engaged in chatting, and she was a little speechless. She couldn't help but said, "Are you still learning to write? Now you're completely lost in the chat, and you can't come back, right?"

"Hee hee, write, let's write now!"

"Of course we have to learn. Today we have to learn to write our own names, charming, right?"

"Yes, isn't it just two words, I don't believe that I can't learn it!"

"Brother Yun also said that we can't come back after chatting, hee hee, he listens to our chat with great interest, it's no worse than our daughter's favorite listener!"

"Hee hee, that's true. I just noticed that his eyes lit up when we talked about Ping'er and Second Grandma Lian."

Jia Yun was speechless, seeing the playful faces of the two, she grabbed their hair and kept on making a bed.

"Look at you still making fun of me!" Jia Yun said with a glare.

Charming laughed, and wanted to run away, but was caught by Jia Yun, and said pitifully to Xiren, "Sister Xiren, Brother Yun is bullying us!"

"I can't help it, he is also grabbing my hair!" Xi Ren said with a blushing face.

Jia Yun laughed and asked viciously, "Do you still want to learn? Are you listening?"

"listen!"

"Be obedient, let's learn now!"

Jia Yun saw that the two girls had finally calmed down, so she let them go. After grinding, she gave each of them a pen and a few pieces of paper, and slowly practiced writing her name.

Not to mention, both of them are intelligent people, and they look good holding the pen holder, but they are just beginners in writing, and the writing is crooked, holding the brush as stiff as if they were carrying a heavy burden.

"Don't hold the pen tightly, relax, and don't be nervous. Anyway, there is a lot of paper at home, so you don't have to worry about writing poorly." Jia Yun explained while correcting their writing posture.

Seeing that the two were writing hard, Jia Yun stopped meddling for the time being, took the book and sat down in front of the brazier.

Here, after writing a few words, Xiren suddenly stopped writing, and whispered to Meiren: "I came out of the mansion today, and I heard that Keren's younger sister seemed to be ill, and was picked up by her natal family early in the morning. gone."

"Is it serious?" Charming asked nervously, frowning.

Xiren bit his lip, nodded and said: "I heard that he was seriously ill, the mansion returned his body deed, and he was released from the mansion just like me."

Meiren sighed, and said worriedly: "I know that there is no one at Keren's younger sister's house right now, you said she was picked up by her natal family, who came to pick her up?"

"It's her sister." Xiren replied.

Charming asked puzzledly: "Keren's younger sister has an older sister? Why haven't I heard her mention it before?"

Xiren shook his head and said: "I have never heard her say that she has a sister before, but I heard from the servant girl in the mansion that her sister is indeed here to pick up the person today. I heard that Keren's sister looks exactly like Keren, so it should be Twins for sure."

"Didn't you see her sister?" Charming asked.

Xiren: "I didn't see them. They left early. I was delayed because the girls in the yard were crying and refused to let me go. Otherwise, I could see Keren's sister."

Charming nodded, and pondered: "My sister's house doesn't seem to be far from here, do you want us to take some time to go and have a look?"

"That's why I told you this. Let's be sisters anyway. If Keren's sister is really seriously ill, maybe this is the last time I'll see her." Xiren said dully.

Meiren sighed, and said: "I hope she will be well, but sister Keren has a gentle personality, kindness and kindness, and speaks softly. She is afraid of stepping on ants and mosquitoes when she walks. It would be a pity if she really left so early. "

Xiren nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Why don't we tell Brother Yun right now, let's go to see Keren's younger sister's house? I'm afraid I'm going too late, and I won't be able to see her for the last time."

"Of course, we don't have anything important right now anyway." Meiren agreed, and then asked: "Sister Xiren, do you know what disease Keren's sister has?"

Xiren shook his head and said, "I don't know what's wrong with her. She has been avoiding us since half a month ago."

"Second Master Bao actually reported it to the old lady, and invited the imperial doctor to come and see. The old lady ordered that no one should tell anyone about the illness. Even Second Master Bao didn't know about it, let alone me. It's probably quite serious."

The two muttered to each other, although Jia Yun was not next to them, she could hear what they said clearly.

He also didn't stop the two of them from going to visit Keren, they were sisters who grew up together, and when Keren was sick, it was only right for them to visit.

So, when the two came to ask for instructions and said they wanted to go out, Jia Yun agreed without asking.

"Bring more money. If you want to come to the lovely family you mentioned, it will cost you a lot of money to see a doctor." Jia Yun warned.

Xiren and Meiren looked at each other, but they didn't refuse Jia Yun's kindness.

Xi Ren said: "Now we are all Brother Yun's people, we must rely on Brother Yun for food and food!"

"That's right, just tell me what's going on in the future, but don't worry too much, lest you get caught." Jia Yun nodded and said with a smile.
