Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 7
As long as a slave from a wealthy family has a bond of sale, the power of life and death is in the hands of the master. Aunt Zhu and Aunt Jin are both concubines, so they naturally have a bond, not to mention Zhou Xiaoliu.

The servant is the private property of the master's family, and it is not against the law for the master to kill the servant here, as long as the master goes to the yamen to explain the situation.

As long as your family doesn't come to report the death of a servant every three days, the general yamen will not ask you why, and you will be punished as a sudden death.

Xue Hong opened her mouth wide and let out a big yawn, then stretched herself again, and didn't care about going back to her room, she just fell asleep lying on the side of Xue Yi's bed.

When Xue Hong woke up, he was in his room.The servants probably found him sleeping next to the couch and sent him back.

"Second Master, Second Master, wake up, Master is awake!"

Zhu Xi's voice came to his ears, and Xue Hong jumped up from the bed without thinking about getting dressed. He buttoned up his clothes and walked straight to Xue Yi's main room.

"When did you wake up, Master? How is your health now?"

Zhuxi and Tangjiu helped Xue Hong dress and carry shoes. Tangjiu heard Xue Hong ask and replied with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to the second master. I woke up this morning and called several doctors in the city, including the imperial doctor." Everyone has come to see him and they all say that the master has recovered, and the main courtyard is full of joy at this moment!"

"Really?"

"Isn't it? These doctors said before that the master is not good, and now the master is healed all of a sudden, and Shen Ke's disease is gone, so our master is not as serious as they said.

They didn't say that they were incapable of diagnosing the disease, they just said that it was due to the good deeds of our Xue family ancestors that my life should not have been cut off, and that's why it got better.

He is obviously a quack doctor, but he still insists on such ghostly rhetoric. Is it funny or not? "

funny?You can pull it down!If he didn't have Xue Hong's system space, Xue Yi would really be embarrassed, okay?It’s a panacea!Space products are indeed trustworthy.

Xue Hong complained in his heart, but his face was full of surprises. When he came to Xue Yiyuan, he saw Xue Yi sitting there with a ruddy face talking, and quietly held his hand, and used the space pulse detection skill once to confirm Xue Hong's identity. Not only has his body returned to normal, but he is also a little stronger than ordinary people in their thirties, so he really feels at ease.

With Xue Yi's current physical condition, as long as nothing unexpected happens, it will be almost no problem to survive until Xue Hong grows up smoothly.

But it was said that Xue Yi's illness had been tossing for more than half a month, and when he was completely cured, it would be the end of the new year.

Xue Yi, who is in good health, only thinks that he is interested in doing anything, watching Xue Wang's busy schedule to arrange this and tidy up that;

The rents Xue Pan collected from various villages were much better than in previous years;
The caravans have also returned in time for the end of the year, bringing with them a dazzling array of goods and a lot of income;
For several days in a row, the family was full of joy and joy. People say that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have a future blessing. I'm afraid they are talking about the current Xue Yi.

Everywhere in the mansion is festive, but Xue Hong feels a little uncomfortable these days.

Zhuxi and Tangjiu, two young boys, and two book boys, Langyue and Yaoxing, were like eating bee dung these days. They were happy to see him and their attitude was extremely flattering.The servants in the family also seemed to have this problem. Everyone nodded and bowed when they saw him. There were also several maids who actually blushed when they saw him.Thanks to his nimble body, he could just run away if he didn't want those elder sisters to catch him...

How is this going?

"Tang Jiu, don't laugh. I don't have any flowers on my face. What's wrong with you?"

Tang Jiu was the liveliest of the four, and what was rare was that he was careful enough to do things. Xue Hong had always been the favorite, and liked to ask him to do anything.

Tang Jiu laughed so hard that his stomach ached, but he didn't hide it: "You can't blame this slave, it's Lang Yue. He wrote a book about the public case in my house. It was supposed to be a game, but I don't know who the storyteller was. I picked it up and polished it with storytelling techniques, and it turned into a set of good books. It is still being talked about under the bridge today, and the title is "The Case of Young Master Xian's Wisdom in Determining Love"."

Zhuxi also said at the side: "It can be said that other people don't know who this book is about, but our family doesn't know? If you want to say that the storyteller is good at crafting, and he speaks vividly, the Lord is now our There are prodigies in the sky in the capital, and masters like our master have a bright face, can we not laugh?"

Xue Hong finally understood, thinking that he had let these monkey cubs be sold?I don’t know what this book is about. If it depicts the image of me as heroic and heroic, that’s it. If it’s not good, wouldn’t it mean that I have a bad reputation?

But looking at the attitude of the servants in the family, Xue Hong knew in his heart that what he said was not bad, and thinking about the difficulty of making a living for Tianqiao artists, he let him go.It's just that his mouth was still reluctant, and he said to Langyue: "Well, the people I bring with me every day not only gossip about the master, but also make books about the family affairs to sell? You don't want to do it from tomorrow on." Follow me, go to Tianqiao to tell a book, you won’t starve to death!”

After Xue Hong finished speaking, he threw away his hand, making Lang Yue's face turn pale with fright: "Master! Master, please spare me. Don't drive me away. I won't dare to do it anymore!"

Yao Xing was the most attentive and knew his master's temperament very well, so he laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, our master is wise and wise, how can he care about you? I'm afraid he will go and listen to the book himself when he has some free time!" "

The words were said so loudly that Xue Hong, who had walked away, seemed to be shocked by the sound waves and staggered hard.

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Xue's family celebrated the new year, and all the matters for the new year were ready.

After paying homage to the Stove Lord, Xue Yi took Xue Hong to his husband's house to deliver New Year's gifts. Mrs. Xue took the gift list and sent people to various places in the capital to deliver gifts. There were several important ones, and Mrs. Xue personally came forward. Finally, It was given to the Jia family by Wang Xue, along with Xue Pan and Baochai.

Jia Wang was still waiting at the second door. When she saw the large and small boxes that Xue Wang ordered people to carry in, she felt very happy.

"Tell me about you, we are not outsiders, why do we prepare so many gifts every year? It seems to me that it is heavier than last year, and it is very expensive."

In fact, when people come to give New Year gifts, the host usually accepts them generously and only expresses gratitude.

Although Jia Wang's remarks seemed a bit petty, she couldn't stand it. The Xue Wang family sent too many, which could be compared with three times what ordinary families sent. This was not meant to be heard by the eldest lady Zhang Lingxuan, and to deliberately catch her eye. Medicine?
The New Year's gifts from the eldest wife's natal family are nothing more than superficial, and most of them are worthless books, poems and paintings. Only Jia Zheng loves them so much, so what is it worth to return to the public?
And what Wang Xue sent was real gold and silver, not to mention it looks good on the books, every time when carrying it to the warehouse, Jia Wang can still choose a lot of good things from it-in Jia's mansion, her mother's family celebrates the New Year As a new year's gift from time to time, as a married woman in the family, she can keep what she likes in a fair and just way—isn't it more than her Zhang Lingxuan showing her face in front of her mother-in-law?It really has both the face and the inside.

However, this may be the only time in a year that Mrs. Jia and Wang are more embarrassed than Zhang Lingxuan in front of Jia's mother. The look on her face is really disgusting.

Zhang Lingxuan didn't care about her, just smiled a little, and went to prepare a banquet, leaving Xue Wang, mother and son to eat.

"Ma'am, this Jia Wang family is too much. You are so eloquent in ordinary times, why did you become a gourd with your mouth sawed off today, and let her show off?"

It was Chunlan, the big girl next to Zhang Lingxuan, who spoke. Hearing this, she just smiled wryly:

"In the early years, when I first got married, I was young and energetic, always trying to dominate others, and being more eloquent than her. The old lady was very reluctant to offend me for the sake of our Zhang family, so over the years, I It's impossible to say that she doesn't hate me. She managed to overwhelm me, but she still doesn't do that?
And that's her natal family, why should I argue with her in front of her own family?
Besides, most of the poems, calligraphy and paintings sent by our family are single copies, which are invaluable treasures in the hands of literati, but they are just waste paper in the eyes of her, Jia Wang. What can I argue with her?I keep the good things that my father and brothers chose for me, and I will leave them to my Lianer in the future. To separate from her is to lower my standard, do you understand? "

Chunlan suddenly became enlightened and nodded.

But only Zhang Lingxuan knew that in the past year or so, she had been sick frequently. Although the illness was not serious, it always took a long time before she managed to recover. It was obvious that her health was getting worse day by day.

He manages the huge Jia mansion all day long, and spends more money in the mansion than he brings in. In the daily exchange of favors, what the family spends and what he gets back is just equal, that is, the energy sent by Jia Min and Xue Wang. Some are left.

Jia Min is the concubine of the family, and the Lin family is in a special situation. The wealth accumulated by several generations of princes is relatively small, and the wealth of several lifetimes has fallen into Jia Min's hands. It is no wonder that Jia Min is a aunt. At five o'clock, I sent some good things to my mother's family all the way.

But Wang Xue is different. To her family, the Jia family is a relative, so there is no need to be so generous, which shows her affection for her sister.

Although Zhang Lingxuan looked down on the young ladies from the Wu Xun family, she was not ignorant. At least the fact that Mrs. Xue Wang had deep affection for her sister still made her respect her.

Xue's family is an imperial merchant, so naturally they have more money and property than those who are officials or knights, so why don't they make their waists thicker?

In comparison, Zhang Lingxuan couldn't help but think of her sister Zhang Lingyi.

My sister is a well-known talented woman in Beijing, the most noble person. She will not pay attention to these yellow and white things, let alone give her anything.

Thinking of this, Ling Xuan laughed to herself. There was no comparison between their sisters and the Wang sisters. People who were not on the same level had to be placed together. Wouldn't that be ridiculous?

Not to mention how the members of Xue's family were guests outside, let's talk about the issue of children's education between Xue Yi and Xue Wang in the evening.
