Mother Jia of the Red Chamber is Unkind

Aunt Xue lost her mind for a moment, and when her daughter came, she burst into tears, and kept Baochai complaining: "I don't know why, the officials sent me and my brother to go to jail!"

The leading officer glanced at Aunt Xue with a rather helpless expression.What is "I don't know why"?It seems that they are unreasonable.Just now he clearly explained the crimes committed by their mother and son.But because of Aunt Xue's age, the officials didn't want to really blame her and send her to prison.

But what Aunt Xue said just now, the eldest daughter of the Xue family and the servants of the Xue family who were all over the yard all put on a look of injustice and resentment, and directly locked the four officials in the hospital.

The leading official laughed angrily, and he lost all shit sympathy. "Since this lady feels that she has been wronged, it's easy to do. It's good for you to accompany your son to the Yamen to explain your grievances. If we are wrong, your mother and child will be sent back safely. If you You’re wrong, you don’t need to apologize to us, just go to the prison and taste the sweetness. Don’t make up for your mistakes and beg for help, you are innocent, how dare we accept it!”

Aunt Xue was stunned, she didn't expect a yamen servant to be so eloquent.She was just saying something casually. How could he, a gentleman, be so serious with himself?

"Master Cha is considerate. My mother loves my elder brother the most. Seeing that you are going to take her, I was in a hurry for a while, and there are some things I said wrong. Please forgive me, Master Cha." Baochai said in a low tone, using her fan Covering her face, she nodded slightly, just by looking at her eyebrows and eyes, she knew that her face was sincere at the moment.Logically speaking, a girl from a family like her shouldn't meet outsiders, and since the situation is urgent, she can't care too much.

Although the leading yamen servant only caught a glimpse of Baochai's snow-white forehead, his heart immediately melted.Furthermore, the girl from this family is so courteous in begging him, there is absolutely no reason not to lose face.Anyway, the superior only asked him to do one thing, which was to take Xue Pan away.

When Aunt Xue heard that the yamen servants would not take her away, she held her chest and let out a sigh of relief.She felt that since she could be released, so could Xue Pan.Aunt Xue wanted to ask, but she was afraid that she would say the wrong thing again.Since the yamen servant bought Baochai's account, he turned his head to wink at his daughter.Baochai lowered her eyes slightly, and begged the yamen servant to let her eldest brother go.

This time the yamen servant didn't dare to be confused, shook his head hurriedly, and said goodbye.

"But why?" Baochai was puzzled, and hurriedly asked, but she also forgot to cover her face with her fan, and her whole face was exposed.

How have the yamen servants seen such a charming and beautiful woman from an aristocratic family, they were stunned for a while before they came back to their senses.The leader sent the rest of the people to take Xue Pan away first, and he stayed for a while. After Baochai dismissed the idlers and others, the yamen servant explained: "Miss Xue, I see that you are a reasonable person. If I can help you, I will definitely help you." I want to help you. But your elder brother's matter is the instruction from above, and the younger ones can't do anything about it."

Baochai understood. Seeing that he hadn't left yet, she asked someone to thank him with money. "Nothing else, thanks for the help."

The leading Yachai hurriedly waved his hand, no, looked greedily at Baochai and said with a smile: "I don't want to do this, I just see that the girl is not easy, so I just help a group. Please take care of the girl in the future, the youngest name is Bai Lei, farewell!"

Aunt Xue stood aside, crying bitterly because of the loss of Xue Pan.As she listened, she suddenly felt that something was wrong with the conversation between the yamen servant and Baochai. Aunt Xue watched the yamen servant go away, her suppressed anger burst out, and she spat a few times at the back of the yamen servant Bai Lei.

Baochai also showed a look of disgust, frowned, turned around and grabbed the handkerchief and entered the room.If she hadn't asked for news for her elder brother, would she have committed herself to talking politely to a yamen servant?

Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit!

Baochai took a sip of tea and drank two more sips of calming tea, which made her feel better.

Aunt Xue followed into the room and sat in the top seat. While examining her daughter with concern, she scolded that Bai Lei for not being a thing, and trying to make a toad eat swan meat!shameless!

Baochai was aggrieved with tears in her eyes: "Forget it, don't say any more." If it wasn't for her mother and elder brother, she wouldn't have been wronged like this.

"My dear darling, you have been wronged." Aunt Xue cried while hugging Baochai.The status of merchants is humble. Although imperial merchants are better, they are nothing in front of these aristocratic officials.The Xue family can't do it anymore. In the ancestor's generation, there are still some brothers who are officials and take care of each other. Up to now, almost all of them have become serious businessmen.In the past, relying on her natal relationship, the family was still a bit tougher.Now that the eldest brother and his family are sent to the army, and the eldest sister is the living dead again, she can't count on anyone else.

If she had known today, she should have engaged Baochai and Baoyu early in the first place, at least she would have left a promising in-law.No matter how bad the second room of the Rong Mansion was, it couldn't be worse than her house.

Aunt Xue was so regretful that her heart, liver, lungs and intestines were all regretful.

……

Besides, when Baoyu returned from Fahua Temple with Jia Lan, Yin Shang and Zhang Lan, he invited Yin Shang and Zhang Lan to Rongfu for tea.

Zhang Lan hesitated and looked at Yin Shang.In fact, he is not familiar with the children of Rongfu at all, and it is all because of Yin Shang's relationship that he can get together today.

Baoyu and Jialan warmly invited Yin Shang to refuse.After all, this is his future daughter-in-law's natal brother and nephew, so he should show some face.

Yin Shang asked Zhang Lan with a smile: "Then let's stay for a while? I just happen to be thirsty."

Zhang Lan appreciated face readily and said with a smile, "Me too."

Baoyu and Jialan looked at each other and smiled, both heaving a sigh of relief. They had fulfilled Lian's second grandmother's orders.

Wang Xifeng begged Jia's mother early in the morning, and invited the most powerful pastry chef in his courtyard to cook, and went to the Zhuangyuan building to invite the best cook to cook.It costs 50 taels a day for this one cook, which is a lot. If you can escape the joy of a few brothers, it is worth it.

Wang Xifeng had prepared everything here, and when he calculated that the time was almost up, he heard rumors from outsiders that Baoyu and the others had returned.Because the children of Zhang Lan and Yin Shang are not young, and it is difficult for Wang Xifeng to see them alone, she hurriedly ordered Zhou Rui and his wife to entertain them.

Earlier, when Jia's mother was inquiring about Zhang Lan's character and preferences, Wang Xifeng heard that Zhang Lan liked and feared that Borneo would pay tribute to black tea, and today he specially prepared this tea to send.Baoyu and Jia Lan didn't like it, but Yin Shang and Wang Xifeng didn't know.Regardless of these, anyway, today is to please Zhang Lan, and the tastes of the other three people are directly ignored by Wang Xifeng.

After tasting the tea, Zhang Lan's mood suddenly improved, and she praised Rongfu's taste in her heart, but she only said lightly: "Good tea!"

Baoyu and Jia Lan were worrying about why Wang Xifeng brought up this unwelcome tea, when they suddenly heard Zhang Lan say such a sentence, they lost all temper.

Yin Shang pursed his lips slightly, tasted it carefully, raised his eyebrows and asked uncertainly: "Is this the black tea from Borneo?" It's stingy to say that giving him a drink is nothing.At that moment, Yin Shang was still not convinced, but now he understood after drinking tea.Tsk tsk, he did drink this tea for nothing, it's really not good!

"Exactly." Baoyu nodded.

Yin Shang smiled and looked at Zhang Lan: "Just take care of yourself."

"Really?" Zhang Lan lowered his eyes slightly, his thick eyelashes blocked his pitch-black eyes, making it impossible to see the depth.

"The slave is talkative, but there are plenty of people who make this tea." Zhou Rui's family smiled apologetically and said something in a low voice.

"Who?" Zhang Lan tilted his head slightly, the outline of the whole face became more distinct, extremely handsome.

"The old lady's granddaughter likes this tea the most, and she is the only one who can taste it well."

While Zhou Rui's family was talking, the maid had already exchanged green tea for Baoyu, Jialan and Yinshang.

Yin Shang seemed to be liberated, and took a sip in relaxation. "After comparing, I realize how delicious this Longjing tea is."

Zhang Lan glanced at him and said nothing.

Yin Shang was killed by Zhang Lan's look, and he became a shriveled eggplant, and he dared not say a word.Blame him for being sloppy in the past, insisting that he had tasted black tea.This time, he slapped himself in front of Zhang Lan.If you think about it this way, it's really not that people are stingy.

Zhang Luo from Zhou Rui's family serves dim sum, and the young masters are invited to taste it first.Then the old lady told them to stay here for dinner.

Yin Shang expected that this was unplanned, and he didn't know if Zhang Lan had time, so he gave Zhang Lan a special wink.Seeing that Zhang Lan's face remained unchanged, Yin Shang unhurriedly stretched out his hand and took a bite of pastry.Yin Shang thought that this guy would stay in the Rong Mansion, so he nodded with a smile before he dared to ask Zhang Lan's opinion.Zhang Lan's reaction was as he expected, and he nodded.

Yin Shang looked at Rongfu with admiration again.It really is not easy!

After a few people had dim sum, they were half full.Yin Shang proposed to go out for a walk, and then come back to have a banquet.

Zhang Lan glanced at him, and said to Baoyu, "Since you have bothered your house, how can you not go to the old lady to express your thanks?"

Suddenly, Yin Shang patted his head and said: "Look at me, I forgot such an important thing, I should fight."

Baoyu brought them to see Jiamu.

Daiyu and others are all at Jiamu's knees, and Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng are all there.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, there are also elders present, and it's okay for the girls to just stand behind Jia's mother.

Zhang Lan and Yin Shang saluted, thanked him a few words, and retreated evasively.

This is the second time for Jia's mother to see Zhang Lan, and she feels that the child is more stable and calm than before.Today's matter, she intends to let Daiyu and Zhang Lan meet.Mother Jia deliberately observed Zhang Lan's eyes. When she entered the door, her eyes seemed to sweep over everyone, but he was not sure.Zhang Lan kept his eyes fixed the whole time, and his face was so stern that no one could see what he was thinking.

Jia Mu and others left, intending to see what Daiyu was like, but she saw that the girl was laughing and playing with her sisters as if nothing had happened.

Did the two children take a fancy to it or not?

For the first time, Jia Mu felt troubled and scratched her head, unable to figure it out.
