You Sanjie's second sister You Sanjie has been occupied by Jia Zhen for a long time, that is, a woman who lost her virginity. She and Liu Xianglian made a lifelong vow, but Liu Xianglian thought that You Sanjie was a dissolute and unfaithful woman and ruined her engagement. To prove her sincerity, You Sanjie committed suicide with a mandarin duck sword given to her by Liu Xianglian.

Details: selected from the sixty-fifth and sixty-sixth chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions (People's Literature Publishing House 1992 edition). The title was added by the editor.

After Jia Lian secretly married Second Sister You in Huazhi Lane, he often invited Jia Zhen to drink with him and asked You Sanjie to marry Jia Zhen as his concubine. In order to resist their bullying, Third Sister often makes a hullabaloo about and makes fun of their brothers, which frustrates their attempts. Second Sister You and Jia Lian discussed choosing someone to hire Third Sister out. So it led to the following heroic love and marriage tragedy.

The next day, the second sister prepared wine again, and Jia Lian didn't go out. At noon, he invited his little sister to sit with his mother. You Sanjie knows what this means. After three rounds of wine, she began to cry: "Sister invited me today, and I have a big gift to say. But my sister is not that stupid. There is no need to talk about past scandals. I already know. It's no use talking. Now that my sister has a place to live and my mother has a place to live, I have to find a way by myself. This is the best way. But life-long events, from birth to death, are no joke. I've changed my mind now, as long as I choose someone who can be happy with me every day to be with him. If you choose, although it is richer than Shi Chong, it has only been built, and its appearance is better than Pan An. I can't get in my heart, and I have lived in vain for a lifetime. " Jia Lian smiled and said, "Easy. Tell you who you are, the bride price is arranged by us, and mom doesn't have to worry about it. " You Sanjie sobbed: "Sister knows, I don't need to say it." Jia Lian smiled and asked who the second sister was, but the second sister couldn't remember at the moment. When everyone wanted to come, Jia Lian said, "This man must move!" He clapped his hands and smiled: "I know. This person is not bad, and he really has a good eye. " Second sister smiled and asked who it was. Jia Lian smiled and said, "How can others get in? It must be Baoyu. " Second sister and you Lao listened and agreed. You Sanjie spat and said, "We have ten sisters, but we can't marry your ten brothers. Is there no good man in the world except your family? " Everyone was surprised: "Who else but him?" You Sanjie smiled and said, "Don't just think about what's in front of you. My sister only thought of it five years ago. "

Just then, Xing Er, Jia Lian's confidant, came to ask Jia Lian, "Your Excellency is waiting to call you. The younger one promised to go to his uncle's side, and the younger one quickly came to invite him. " Jia Lian asked quickly, "Nobody asked at home yesterday?" Xing' er said, "My little grandmother told me that I was at home in the temple discussing with Uncle Zhen for a hundred days, but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to go home." Jia Lian hurriedly ordered Lamar, and Long Er followed, leaving Xing Er to promise to find someone to handle affairs.

Here, Second Sister You ordered her to go to bed early and questioned her all night. The next afternoon, Jia Lian came. Second Sister You advised him, "Since you have business to do, why come again? Don't delay me. " Jia Lian said, "Nothing. There is only one big difference. Get up when the moon comes out and come in half a month. " Second sister, you said, "In that case, go. You don't need to miss anything here Third sister, he will never change more. He said he would regret it. He has chosen someone, you just have to follow him. " Jia Lian asked who it was, and Second Sister You said with a smile, "This man is not here. I don't know how early he came, and it's hard for him to see. I told you, this man won't come for a year, he will wait for a year; Don't come for ten years, wait for ten years; If this man dies and doesn't come again, he would rather shave his head and become an aunt, eat long lent and read Buddha for life. " Jia Lian asked, "Who moved his heart like this?" Second sister laughed and said, "It's a long story. It was my mother's birthday at home five years ago, and my mother and I went there to celebrate my birthday. His family invited a bunch of guests, that is, "ticket friends." A general term for amateur actors and musicians in old operas and quyi. String: Performance. There is a young man named Liu Xianglian in it. He has a crush on him, and now if he gets married. Last year, we heard that Liu Xianglian made a disaster and escaped. I wonder if she has come? " Jia Lian said, "How strange! What kind of person am I talking about? It's him! Sure enough, you have a good eye. You don't know that Liu Erlang, such a beautiful person, is the most cold-blooded and heartless, and almost everyone is heartless. He and Baoyu hit it off best. Last year, Xue was embarrassed to see us because he hit a nerd. I don't know where he went. I heard it later. I don't know if it's true or not. Just ask Baoyu's boy. If he doesn't come, he will wander around and wait until a few years later. Isn't it a waste of time? " Second Sister You said, "We three maids can talk and do it. What he says is up to him. "

Just then, You Sanjie came up and said, "Brother-in-law, don't worry. We are not the kind of people who are half-hearted. We are what we say. If a man named Liu comes, I will marry him. From now on, I will fast and recite the Buddha, and only wait on my mother. When she comes, I will marry her. If I don't come for a hundred years, I will practice by myself. " As he spoke, he folded a Hosta in two. "One sentence is not true, just like this hairpin!" As he spoke, he went back to his room, but he didn't move or speak. Jia Lian had to discuss with his second sister about going home and going home to discuss with Xi-feng about getting up. When someone asked Yan Yan, Yan Yan said, "I don't know. About the future; If it comes, I must know. " While asking his neighbors, he also talked about the future. Jia Lian had to reply to the second sister. As the day of getting up is near, I got up two days ago, but I first came to live with my second sister for two nights, and then I quietly took a long trip from here. If you see that your little sister is a different person and your second sister is a diligent housekeeper, you don't need to miss it.

When I left the city early that morning, I rushed to Pinganzhou Avenue, stayed overnight, and was thirsty for a hungry meal. Fang walked for three days, and just left that day, a group of packers arrived, including a group of more than a dozen servants, servants riding horses. When he approached, it was none other than Xue Pan and Liu Xianglian. Jia Lian was surprised and rode to meet him. Everyone met and said something warm and cold, and everyone went into the hotel to have a rest and chat. Jia Lian said with a smile, "We had a quarrel. We were busy trying to make up with you two, but there was no sign of Brother Liu. Why are you two in one place today? " Xue Pan said with a smile, "There are such wonders in the world. My partner and I sell goods. Get up in spring and walk back. Have a safe trip. Who knows that the day before yesterday, I arrived at the border of Pingan State and met a group of robbers who robbed everything. I didn't want my second brother Liu to come from there, so I drove the thief away, regained the goods and saved my life. I thanked him and didn't take it, so we became sworn brothers and now we are all the way to Beijing. From then on, we were brothers. Go to the fork in the front and branch off, and he will branch off 200 miles south. He has an aunt who will wait and see. I went to Beijing to arrange my affairs, and then I found him a house and a good marriage, and we lived together. Hearing this, Jia Lian said, "I see, it has worried us for several days. "。 ""I have a good match for my second brother, "he said quickly, because he heard the story of finding a relative. I said, I am going to marry You Shi, and now I want to marry my aunt. I just don't say the language of your third sister's choice. He also told Xue Pan not to tell his family that he would know when he gave birth to a son. Xue Pan was overjoyed and said, "This should have happened a long time ago. It's my cousin's fault. Xianglian said with a smile, "You are forgetful again, and you can't stop talking. "。 Xue Pan stopped at once and said, "In that case, this marriage will be done. "。 Xianglian said, "I wanted to have a stunning woman. "。 Now it's a courtesy title for your brother. Brother Kun Zhong, brother, second child. Freshman, I don't care much. I can do whatever I want. Jia Lian said with a smile, "Now my words are groundless. "。 When Brother Liu saw them, he knew that my wife's appearance was unique in ancient and modern times. "Xiang Lian was overjoyed and said," in this case, after my brother visited the girl, I will go to Beijing in the middle of this month. then what Jia Lian said with a smile, "You and I have a deal, but I don't trust Brother Liu." . You are a wandering wanderer. If you stay here, you will miss others. You must leave some kind of gift. Xianglian said, "You can't trust a gentleman. My brother is always cold and poor. Besides, among the guests, how can he be polite? Xue Pan said, "I have it here. I'll take a penny with me. "。 Jia Lian said with a smile, "No need for gold or silk. "。 It must be Liu Xiong's own, no matter how expensive it is, but I will take it to win the trust. "Xiang Lian said," in that case, I have nothing else. This sword is self-defense and I can't untie it. I also have a mandarin duck sword in my bag, which has been handed down from generation to generation in my family. My brother dare not use it casually, but keep it for me. Brother Jia, consider it a decision. My brother is always in the nature of running water, but he will never give up this sword. " After that, everyone had a few more drinks before getting on their horses and leaving. Exactly: the general doesn't dismount and goes his separate ways.

Let's talk about Jia Lian's peace day, seeing the festival, and finishing things. Being told to come again around October, Jia Lian accepted the order. The next day, I quickly set foot on my way home and visited Second Sister You first. Who knows that after Jia Lian went out, Second Sister You was very cautious about housework. She closed her door every day and couldn't smell any foreign affairs. His little sister Guo is a determined person. After serving her mother every day, she only stays in her own place and lives with her share. Although it was lonely at night and he was not used to loneliness, Nai lost all her heart, thinking that she had come back early and completed the great event of her life. When Jia Lian came in today, he was overjoyed to see such a situation and deeply missed the virtue of his second sister. When everyone finished talking about the cold, Jia Lian told the story of meeting Xiang Lian on the road, took out the mandarin duck sword and handed it to Third Sister. When Third Sister saw it, there were dragons all around her. It is used here to describe the quaint patterns on the hilt and scabbard. Kui: Legend has it that there is only one beast with a foot like a dragon, and its shape is often carved on ancient artifacts. Jewellery Jing Ying will aim at one button, but there are two suitable ones. One is painted with the word "spend their honeymoons", and the other is painted with the word "Yang", which is cold and bright, like two traces of autumn water. Third sister was overjoyed, so she quickly took it away and hung it on her embroidered bed. She looked at the sword every day and laughed all her life. Jia Lian lived for two days, and went back to meet his father's orders. By this time, Feng had greatly improved, and the director came out to walk around. Jia Lian told Jia Zhen about it again. Because Jia Zhen met a new friend recently, he forgot about it and gave it to Jia Lian for decision. I was afraid that Jia Lian could not do it alone, so I gave him thirty taels of silver. Jia Lian gave her second sister a dowry.

Who knows that when Xiang Lian came to Beijing in August, he came to see Aunt Xue first, and then he met Xue Pan, only to know that Xue Pan was not used to wind and frost and did not accept water and soil. As soon as he entered Beijing, he fell ill at home and sought medical treatment. I heard that Xianglian is coming, please come to see me in the bedroom. Aunt Xue doesn't miss the past, but feels new gratitude. Mother and son are very grateful. Let's talk about getting married. Everything is ready, just wait for another day. Liu Xianglian is also very grateful.

The next day I came to see Baoyu again, and they met like a duck to water. Xianglian asked Jia Lian about stealing Fannie and Freddie, and Baoyu said with a smile, "I heard a bunch of people say Yan Yan, but I didn't see it. I dare not care. I heard from Yan Yan that Brother Lian really asked you. I don't know what to say. " Xianglian told Baoyu everything on the road, and Baoyu smiled and said, "Great joy, great joy! It is rare that this beauty is really a stunning ancient and modern person and deserves to be you. " Xiang Lian said, "In that case, there are few people there. Why does he only think of me? And I don't know him very well, and I don't care about it. Busy on the road, I have to decide again and again, isn't the woman's house robbing the man's house? I doubt myself and regret leaving this sword. So when I think of you in the future, I can ask you hysterically. " Baoyu said, "You used to be a reserved person. How did you make a promise and get confused? You said you only wanted a beautiful one, but now you have a beautiful toilet. Why doubt it? " Xiang Lian said, "If you don't know his origin, how do you know he is stunning?" Baoyu said, "These are two young aunts brought by Jane's stepmother. I've been hanging out with them there for a month. Why don't I know? What a pair of stunners [stunners], especially beautiful women. " "Zuo Zhuan" Zhao Gong twenty-eight years: "The husband has a stunner, which is enough to move people. "His family name is you." Hearing this, Xiang Lian put down her feet and said, "This is not good. I can't do it. Except for the two stone lions in your East House, I'm afraid even cats and dogs are not clean. I don't do it and forget it. " Baoyu blushed when he heard this. Ashamed of his slip of the tongue, Xiang Lian quickly bowed and said, "I deserve to die. Can you at least tell me what his personality is? " Baoyu said with a smile, "Since you know all about it, why do you ask me? Even I may not be clean. " Xianglian smiled and said, "I am forgetful for a while, at least I don't have to worry." Baoyu said with a smile, "Why mention it again? That's very thoughtful. " Xiang Lian bowed and left. If she goes to see Xue Pan, for one thing, he is ill, and for another, he is impetuous, so she might as well ask for a present. He made up his mind and went all the way to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian was in the bridal chamber when he heard that Xianglian was coming. He was so happy that he rushed out to meet You Laoniang in the back room. Xiang Lian only looked at the old aunt and claimed to be born late, which surprised Jia Lian. While drinking tea, Xiang Lian said, "The guests are busy occasionally, and my aunt booked a sister-in-law in April to make my brother speechless. It seems unreasonable if you follow your brother and cheat on your aunt. If it is made of gold and silver silk, I dare not take it, but this sword belongs to my grandfather. Please give it back to me. " Jia Lian felt uncomfortable and said, "If you decide, you decide. I was afraid of going back on my word, so I decided. Is there anything about marriage? Feel free to come in and out? Also consider. " Xianglian said with a smile, "Even so, I am willing to take the blame and be punished, but I will never dare." Jia Lian was about to speak when Xiang Lian stood up and said, "Go outside and have a talk. It's inconvenient here. " Your third sister can hear clearly in the room. I finally waited for him, and now I suddenly regret it, knowing that he got the news in Jia's house. He naturally feels that he is a shameless person and disdains being a wife. If you let him go out and say goodbye to Jia Lian today, it is expected that Jia Lian will have nowhere to go and he will not be bored. Hearing that Jia Lian was going out with him, he quickly took off his sword and hid a female front in his elbow. When he came out, he said, "Don't go out to discuss it again. Return the wedding gift." Tears streaming down his face, he handed the sword and scabbard to Xiang Lian with his left hand, and only bent his neck backwards with his right hand. Poor "Broken peach blossoms everywhere, Yushan falls [Yushan falls]" Shi Shuo Xin Yu Rong Zhi ":"Ji Shu is a man at night, and Yan is lonely; He is drunk, and if Russia is like Yushan, it will collapse. "This is used to politely refuse to fall dead. Yushan, describing the beauty of appearance. It's hard to help again. " Sweet and ethereal, I don't know where I went. At present, everyone is scared to give first aid. You Laoniang howled and cursed Xianglian. Jia Lian quickly caught Xiang Lian and ordered him to be tied up and sent to the yamen. Second Sister You quickly stopped crying and advised Jia Lian, "You have too many things to do. People didn't threaten him to die. He committed suicide. What good will it do if he is sent to be an official? You will make a fool of yourself. It is better to let him go, wouldn't it save trouble? " Jia Lian had no idea at this time, so he let go and told Xianglian to go quickly. Xiang Lian refused to leave, sobbing, "I didn't know this was such a powerful and virtuous wife, respectable, respectable." Xianglian wept bitterly at the corpse. I saw the funeral when I bought the coffin, and I cried on the coffin before I left.
