Chapter 23 8. Even when people go to Liang’s empty nest——Xi Luan, Fourth Sister

In the secondary volume of Twelve Hairpins, there are no more than Xiluan and Sijieer who have fewer roles than sisters Li Qi and Li Wen, and are more suspected of making up the number. These two people did not appear until the seventy-first round, and this is the only case, and there is no further article-of course, if the latter article is not lost, there may be another article. However, although the roles of these two people are small, their status is not low.Let's read the original text: Because the mother of Jia □ (Zuo Wang You Bian) also brought her daughter Xiluan, and Jia Qiong's mother also brought her daughter, fourth sister, and several granddaughters, totaling about twenty of them.When Jia's mother saw that Xiluan and her fourth sister were born well, they spoke and acted differently, she liked it in her heart, so she ordered them to come and sit together on the couch.Baoyu beat Jiamu's legs at the foot of the couch.The chief is Aunt Xue, and the two slips below are counted along the front of the house.The two corridors outside the curtain are full of male guests from the clan, who also sit in turn.

It is clearly stated here that the identities of Xiluan and the fourth sister are serious relatives of the Jia family, Shi Taijun's next-door granddaughter.And "born well, speaking and acting differently", just like Ying, Tan, and Xi, she is also a lady with both talents and looks, the only loss is that she is not a direct descendant, and the gap with the four beauty of Jia's house is just like Baoqin is to Baochai The same surname but different numbers can only be placed in the sub-book. This time, Jia Mu ordered them to come and sit together in front of the couch, while Baoyu beat Jia Mu's legs on the couch, which meant that the three of them shared the couch.In this way, these two people registered with Brother Shi.

Later, Jia's mother specifically "ordered Sister Feng to leave Xiluan's fourth sister to play hard for two days before going. When Sister Feng came out, she told his mother that his two mothers had been taken care of by Sister Feng on weekdays, and they could not wait to say anything. The two of them are also willing to play in the garden, and will not go home at night." In this way, "as the master and girl, registered with Brother Shi, and entered the Grand View Garden", Xiluan and the fourth sister have all three conditions. This is not over yet, after entering the park, Mother Jia specially arranged a small matter, maybe it has some deep meaning——

Jia Mu suddenly remembered something, called an old woman and told him: "Go to the women in the garden and tell them that although the remaining sisters Xi and Sijie are poor, they are the same as the girls at home. Take good care of them. I know that the men and women in our family have "one rich heart, two respectable eyes", so they may not be taken seriously. Some people underestimate them, but I will not listen to them." The old woman agreed. When Fang was about to leave, Yuanyang said, "Let me go. They listen to him." Then they went straight to the garden.

Here, it is pointed out by Jia Mu that the two are poor, but their identities are "the same as the girls in the family", and they are said to be snobbish, which makes them look down upon them - all kinds of descriptions are exactly the same as Xing Xiuyan This is to confirm the identity of the two as deputy books again. And the dialogue between Xiluan and Baoyu is to "register with Brother Shi" again—— Baoyu laughed and said, "I can live with my sisters day after day, and it's over when I die. What's the matter is not the matter." Li Wan and others laughed and said, "This is nonsense again. Even if you are worthless Don’t tell me his sisters don’t go out?” You said with a smile, “I can’t blame people for saying that he had a baby on a fake basis. After all, he is a fool.” Baoyu laughed and said, “There is no certainty in human affairs. , I know who will die and who will live. If I die today, tomorrow, this year and next year, it will be regarded as my life." Before they finished speaking, they said: "But he is crazy again, so don't talk to him. If you talk to him Talking is either nonsense or crazy." Xi Luan said with a smile: "Second brother, don't say that, when all the sisters here are out of the court, anyway, the old lady and the wife are also lonely, I will be with you. Li Wanyou and others all laughed and said, "Girl, don't talk nonsense, don't you go out? Who are you talking about?" Xi Luan lowered his head when he said that.

Xiluan actually said that he wanted to be a companion with Baoyu, which can be described as serious! However, if it is said that Baoyu and Xiluan will have the distinction of husband and wife in the future, it will be a bit of a joke.The biggest possibility is that Baoyu will still watch Xiluan's future outcome coldly and sigh for it, just like what he said about Xing Xiuyan. Xiuyan was engaged, and Baoyu once sighed that "the green leaves are full of shade and the branches are full of branches", and wept sadly; There must be some insights in the same disease. At that time, I am afraid that the Grand View Garden will no longer have the surname Jia. Even if Xiluan and the fourth sister come back, all the sisters will be gone. The Taoist went to the empty nest of Liang and poured out."
