The Second Master of the Red Chamber

"Why didn't mom take a break at this hour?" Xue Pan came home after messing around, but saw his mother waiting for him. Although he was a bit of a jerk, he was still a filial child after all, so he asked immediately .

Mrs. Xue has nothing to do with waiting for her son. After all, the child is grown up and ambitious, so she can't catch anyone. However, she feels that there is an important matter that must be explained clearly to her son. Okay, "I'm not waiting for you, come and sit down, have a cup of tea to get rid of the alcohol, I have something to tell you!"

When Xue Pan heard it, he couldn't help feeling a headache, but he remembered it very clearly. Xue Baochai was highly favored, and now he is a concubine, and he can be regarded as the first palace master. There is also Emperor Kane, Xue Pan Madam can go to the palace to see her daughter every month, and it happens to be today.

"Did my sister have any orders?" Boss Xue Pan was not happy.

Mrs. Xue immediately frowned, "How do you say that? That's your sister. Our family is all for your sake. If it wasn't for you, why not marry the son of an official and become the head of the house with your sister's talent and appearance?" ? Why is it so difficult to make a living in the palace now?"

Xue Pan didn't like to hear such words the most, and said hastily, "Mom, don't say that anymore. My sister is born to be a nobleman, so it's not for me, that's her future."

Mrs. Xue likes to hear her daughter's bright future, "It's done, you are getting better at talking now, I have something important to tell you today."

"Mom, just say it." Xue Pan said so on his mouth, but in his heart, he thought that you said what you said, and I listened to mine. I was only willing to listen to what I wanted to hear, and forget about the rest. .

What Mrs. Xue wants to say is indeed a big event, and it is still very important to Xue Pan, "You are not young anymore, I thought in my heart, I can't control your wild temper anymore, let me give it to you." Find a wife to take care of you."

Xue Pan has no objection to marrying a wife or something, but he is very unhappy to find a wife to take care of him. After all, the wife he wants to marry must be beautiful and obedient. It's best not to think about taking care of him at all. Hearing Mrs. Xue say this, I felt a little unhappy in my heart. How could he find another daughter-in-law to take care of him.

It's a pity that no matter how unhappy he was in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything against his mother, "What mother said is true."

Mrs. Xue didn't expect her son to be so well-behaved, so she smiled slightly, "I entered the palace today, and the empress also talked about your marriage. She mentioned her personal choice, which I think is also very good, but I don't know what you think of."

As soon as Xue Pan heard Mrs. Xue say this, he felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything to refute, but couldn't help but asked, "I don't know which girl the empress prefers? "

"That is an excellent child," Mrs. Xue was very happy, "It can be regarded as a family we are familiar with, that is, the Jia family."

"The Jia family?" Xue Pan frowned slightly, "Isn't it Baoyu's younger sister Tanchun?" By Li Shi's side, although the two are not rivals, they have their own camps. Tanchun is an extremely intelligent girl, so naturally she wants to help her mother a lot, which makes Li Shi dissatisfied.

Jia Baoyu had listened to Li's talk a lot, and when he mentioned Tanchun, he always said, "She looks like a very good girl, but I don't know why, but she is greedy for power and only wants to control everything by herself. Why……"

Xue Pan had heard a lot, so naturally he didn't like Jia Tanchun. As soon as Mrs. Xue heard him speak, she understood that he was dissatisfied, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "What is the Jia family over there? That young lady." This refers to Jia Yingchun.

Mrs. Xue also met Jia's mother several times, and she was familiar with Jia Yingchun. Xue Baochai also knew the three Yingchun sisters before entering the palace. She had nothing to say about her appearance. The upper family is not bad in the world, the only regret is that she is a concubine, only considering that she was raised by Zhang's side since she was a child, and her name is also recorded under Zhang, so she can be regarded as a concubine. up.

Xue Pan had never met Jia Yingchun before, but he had met Jia Lian, and because of Jia Baoyu's relationship, he didn't have a good impression of Jia Lian. Now when he heard Mrs. Xue's words, he resisted a little, "Why did my mother just fall in love with her? Is there a girl in their family? That Jia Lian is nothing..."

"Shut up!" Mrs. Xue frowned when she heard that he was about to say something she shouldn't have said. It's not that she doesn't know about the relationship between her son and Jia Baoyu, but she can't control it. But if she offends him because of Jia Baoyu Jia Lian, that's not going to happen, "Jia Lian is the future heir of the General's Mansion, and now he is a fifth-rank official. It looks like he has a bright future. Don't let your stupidity hurt our family."

"How could we be afraid of them!" Xue Pan was very disapproving, "There is a lady in the palace, but we..."

Mrs. Xue felt a headache when she saw her stupid son. She has such an extremely intelligent daughter, why is his son so disappointing?

"The empress is in the palace," Mrs. Xue said helplessly, "The empress is not the queen, she is the empress. If there is no support from outside the palace, how good do you think the empress's life will be?"

"Your Majesty is already very difficult in the palace. Not only do you not want to help your Majesty, but you only know how to cause trouble. How did I give birth to such a wicked person like you!" Xue Baochai was never a girl who had to endure everything by herself. Son, she is in the palace, it is not easy to meet Mrs. Xue, but every time she meets, she can achieve her goal.

Madam Xue told Mrs. Xue that it is not easy in the palace, that if the family wants to have a future, it is necessary for the elder brother to strive for success, relatives to help, etc. Mrs. Xue has heard many times, but the more she listens, the more she feels that what Xue Baochai said is not wrong at all. There are also more restrictions on Xue Pan.It's a pity that Xue Pan only acted obediently in front of his mother, but when he was outside, he still acted recklessly as before.

"Mother said that, as if the son is inconsiderate of the mother," Xue Pan was very upset, "Then Jia Lian doesn't look down on the son at all, even if the son wants to get along with him, he can't get along with him?" Said Speaking of this, he himself felt very unhappy, he can be regarded as an 'uncle of the country' now, and Jia Lian actually treated him badly, which really made him feel unhappy looking at Jia Lian.

Mrs. Xue and Xue Pan were still picking on Jia Yingchun, but Xue Baochai, who saw it more clearly in the palace, couldn't help praying that it would be great if the Jia family agreed to this marriage.My elder brother understands that with Xue Pan's appearance, no good family will marry their daughter to him. Although he is still favored in the palace, but there are so many beauties in the palace, can the favor she gets last forever? Going down, she herself doesn't know.

For her own future, she must have a child, and the support of the family is indispensable. Now, among the four major families, Jia Lian's family can be regarded as the most indifferent. She needs to find a way to tie their family to her boat, but Jia Whether the family will be willing, she has no idea in her heart.

Mrs. Xue talked a lot, and finally persuaded Xue Pan, "I have met that second girl Jia, both in appearance and temperament, you must like it." Unfortunately, the Jia family The rules are too strict, and Xue Pan didn't let Xue Pan find a chance to meet Jia Yingchun.

Having made up her mind, Mrs. Xue thought about going to talk to Mrs. Zhang and ask her what she meant. This was what Xue Baochai told her, "Although we are relatives with their family, we are not very familiar with them after all. If the girl's family has been engaged before, it might be a little bad to go there with a big lala, so I'd better go check their family's reputation first."

Mrs. Xue felt that her daughter was extremely thoughtful. She never thought that people would look down on her son, but she just thought that if the girl had a family and their family rashly proposed marriage, it would be embarrassing for her family.

Mrs. Xue had such an idea, so she went to visit Jia Mu. In her heart, Jia Mu, as the old matriarch of the mansion, was also close to his family. It is not said a few words.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Mrs. Xue asked about Jia Yingchun. Jia's mother was still a little puzzled at first, but the maid beside her saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly sent someone to tell Zhang, " Mrs. Xue's family asked about the second girl's arrival, but she didn't know why she came."

How clever Mrs. Zhang is, she guessed right away that she might have some unreasonable thoughts, and hurried to Rongqing hall, just in time to hear Mrs. Xue say, "I don't know what the second lady in the house can say." Family matter?"

At this moment, Mother Jia also understood what she meant. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Mrs. Zhang's voice, "Thank you Mrs. Xue for your concern. The second girl's marriage is settled in my heart."

Jia's mother was very unhappy, "The second girl's marriage is settled, why don't I know?"

Mrs. Zhang replied calmly, "Because I haven't made a decision yet, I didn't go back to the old lady. I just listened to the meaning of Princess Beijing, and she kind of likes our second girl."

As soon as King Bei Jing's name came out, neither Mother Jia nor Mrs. Xue had any idea of ​​what to say anymore. Mrs. Xue only thought that her daughter was smart. If she hadn't let herself come to the limelight first, she would definitely be ashamed of things.Although their family gave birth to an empress, she never felt that her family could be compared with the Wangfu.

Jiamu's face is full of joy. She has long thought that it would be best to have a closer relationship with the four kings and eight princes. Now that she has such an opportunity, it is not a great thing. She doesn't think it has anything to do with the Xue family at the moment. Well, when there is a county princess in their family, it will be Xue's family, and they can't ask for theirs.

Mrs. Zhang looked at the expressions of the two of them coldly, and said with a smile, "However, Princess Beijing only revealed a little bit of meaning, and never... asked Mrs. Xue to help keep it secret."

The author has something to say: The King of Beijing is not my favorite existence either!
