The Lin family of the Red Chamber has a son

In the Rongfu, Jia Zheng had drawn up an excerpt long ago, Jia She signed it, and asked for an order to visit relatives.The emperor mentioned the word "Zhun" on the booklet, and set the day of visiting relatives in Yuanchun on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the next year, the Shangyuan Festival.

Now that the relatives' garden has been completed, the interior has been tidied up. Mrs. Jia Muwang and others have looked around several times, and feel that everything is in order, so they are a little relieved.

Because Baoyu had just recovered from a serious illness, Jia's mother was afraid that he would be bored, so she often ordered him to visit the relatives' garden.Jia Zheng persuaded him twice, only saying that the empress hadn't been lucky enough to travel, so how could Baoyu be asked to go wandering first?Jia's mother ignored it, so Jia Zheng had no choice but to do so.

But it was said that on this day, Xue Pan invited a thousand friends to have a drink in a restaurant.During the dinner, a dandy smiled at Xue Pan and asked: "Old Xue, I heard that the matter of asking my cousin to visit her relatives is correct, but is it true?"

"That's really accurate." Xue Pan said triumphantly, "Isn't that right? Now my aunt entrusts me to help buy all kinds of expensive spices. It's not me talking about it. If this matter is left to others , Disciplining him costs money and you don’t get good things. Our family receives money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it’s an errand anyway, but what kind of good things can’t we buy?”

Accompanied by Yun'er, who was singing in Jinxiangyuan, dressed in beautiful clothes, she leaned on Xue Pan and said coquettishly: "Mr. It's either that I don't have it, or that I really don't love me anymore." She said pretending to be sad, and turned around.

Xue Pan laughed and pulled her body, coaxing: "Good man, don't be upset. Come with me to the shop later, whatever you see is good, just take it."

Yun'er turned her head and said pleasantly, "Really? You're willing to do it?"

"Be willing, be willing!" Seeing Yun'er's starry eyes half-closed, her vermilion lips slightly curled up, the corners of her eyes and brows full of amorous feelings, Xue Pan saw that her body had long since softened, so how could she care about anything else? "Money and belongings are all external things. Although I haven't studied much, sir, I still know this beautiful woman who is hard to buy."

Seeing Xue Pan's mood, everyone at the same table booed, this one shouted: "Yun'er, take advantage of this moment, old Xue Dafang, hurry up and look for good things in Xue's old shop!"

That one called again: "Uncle Xue is too partial, he only rewarded Sister Yun'er for her dignity, so he didn't care about us sisters!"

Xue Pan laughed out loud.He didn't have so much flirtatiousness in the first place, but now he saw that everyone was willing to believe in him and flatter him, so he was very proud.

Another dandy said: "Tell me, it's not a big honor for Lao Xue to help the concubine and concubine of Narong's mansion to visit relatives. His surname is Jia, and your surname is Xue Na."

Xue Pan was about to refute, but felt that there was no way to refute.The man lowered his voice and said: "Besides, you are living in that mansion now, I'm afraid there are some nice things to say."

Xue Pan hurriedly asked what to say, the man looked around and saw that there were people who fooled around together in the past, he lowered his voice and whispered something to Xue Pan, Xue Pan was furious when he heard this, and smashed the table on the table with all his strength. wine glass.

Everyone in the room was startled, seeing that Xue Pan's face was not right, and when he was about to persuade him, Xue Pan had already gone out like a gust of wind.

Furious, Xue Pan rushed into Lixiangyuan.When he was about to enter the house, Xiangling happened to come out from the inside. Seeing the wind blowing under his feet and his face sinking like water, he knew that he was not going well again today, so he hurriedly opened the curtain, but Xue Pan pushed him away, and staggered a few times. Bu Bu almost fell down, but fortunately was supported by the little girl Zhen'er behind her.

Xue Pan threw down the curtain and went into the room, but saw that his mother was not there, and Baochai was sitting on the couch and sketching.

"Why is brother back now?" Baochai put down the pen in her hand, asked with a smile, and told Ying'er, "Go and pour tea for brother."

"Where's mother?" Xue Pan asked in a muffled voice.

Baochai was taken aback for a moment, then got up and said, "My aunt just sent someone to invite me, and my mother just went there not long ago."

Xue Pan stared, "I've been talking about something all day long, so why bother Mom every day?"

Shouted loudly: "Xiang Ling!"

Xiangling knew his temperament, so she hurried in without daring to delay.Xue Pan said quickly, "Go, get your wife back!"

Xiangling responded twice, Baochai hurriedly stopped him, and persuaded Xue Pan: "Maybe there is really something going on with Auntie. If Brother is not in a hurry, why not wait for Mom to come back? Or, it's just that urgent." Going over and calling in a hurry, wouldn't it make Mom worry about coming back? Besides, it's not good for people in this house to look at me, it's even more important to say that brother is not calm."

Xue Pan is a straight-hearted person, and it is enough for a girl to say a few words on weekdays, but at this time, he just heard someone say that the girl has become famous in Beijing, and she was the one who was talked about and made fun of, and her heart was full of evil There is nowhere to say it, and listening to Baochai's words is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, staring at Baochai with round eyes: "I am not calm, so what? That is the temper that my father gave me! Sister She is calm, but why didn't she hold back and followed that good aunt into the palace? Who doesn't talk about this matter in the capital?"

Baochai had never seen her elder brother's face like this before, so she couldn't help being a little startled, and asked, "What did brother say? What are people talking about?"

"Hmph! Didn't it mean that the empresses in this palace are not favored now, and they want to get their younger sisters to compete for favor? Tell me, people say that, you look good? The three girls are gone. , anyway, they are sisters, why do you want to join in the fun? Could it be that you have thought about it too? People say that it’s strange that my sister refuses to visit other people’s houses when she is seventeen or eight. !"

How can Baochai bear this?Immediately, his face was pale, his breath was caught in his heart, his throat rang twice, his eyes turned black, his body went limp, and he actually passed out.Fortunately, she was standing by the couch, and she collapsed on it after being fainted.

"Girl!" Xiangling Yinger exclaimed in surprise, rushing over to help her up.Seeing this, Xue Pan also regretted speaking too seriously.

Seeing Yinger and Xiangling lying on the couch with Baochai at any rate, both of them shouted at the girl with tears in their eyes, Xue Pan was upset, kicked away the little girl Wen Xing who was about to come forward, and cursed: " Don't wink, why don't you hurry up and get your wife back?"

Wen Xing got up and ran out, and Xue Pan threw back the curtain and went out, sitting on a chair outside to get luck.

Not long after, Aunt Xue came back in a hurry, and when she entered the door, she raised her eyes and saw Xue Pan, she gritted her teeth and scolded: "You bastard! But when you come back with good skills, you know how to beat and scold girls! Let me tell you, if you My sister is so angry, I will never end with you!"

With that said, holding Tong Xi's hand, he hurriedly walked into the room.

Baochai had already woken up, and Yinger and Xiangling stood by and waited on her, but she dared not make a sound.

Aunt Xue saw her daughter's face was white and choked with crying, she felt like a knife was inserted in her heart and a handful of salt was sprinkled in her heart, she hurried over and hugged her daughter and shouted: "What's wrong with my son?"

"Mom!" Baochai's tears rolled down like broken beads, "I, I have no face to face anyone!"

Aunt Xue knew that her daughter had always been steady, if she hadn't been extremely sad, she would never have been so disrespectful in front of the girls.Busyly asked Baochai what was the matter, Baochai choked up and shook her head in silence.

Aunt Xue persuaded her daughter patiently, and when she walked out of the house, Xue Pan was still sitting there, her eyes burning, "What did you tell your sister? Now she is so angry. You just tell me clearly, otherwise I will never forgive you!"

Xue Pan's anger had subsided a lot at this time, and he was regretting it in his heart. Seeing his mother asking, he angrily told the rumors he heard from outside.

When Aunt Xue heard this, she didn't hold the handkerchief in her hand, but dropped it on the ground.

She is also from a big family, how could she not know that a girl's reputation is worth her life?If this Baochai really gained the reputation of wanting to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, I am afraid that the Rong Mansion will not allow her to enter the door.

"Obviously your aunt wanted your younger sister to go with her, and the second girls in their house also went. Could it be that no one mentioned this?" Aunt Xue gritted her teeth.

Xue Pan rolled his eyes, "It's been said that the girls in the mansion are all sisters of the noble concubine, so it's okay to go and see my sister. Only our girl, who is of low birth and only a relative who lives here, babbles. Posted it up, not for this, but for which?"

Aunt Xue was so angry that she became dizzy for a while, why did such words spread out?

When Xue Pan came back in a hurry, he scolded Baochai and beat the girl again, and any noise was heard outside.

The Xue family's servants were not the only ones in the Pear Fragrance Court, there were also the rough envoys, women and girls sent by Mrs. Wang.Therefore, in less than half a day, all the servants in the Rong Mansion knew about it. Although they were afraid of Mrs. Wang and dared not speak out, they secretly pulled their sleeves and winked.

Mrs. Wang didn't know that these things came out. After her sister left, she brought Caiyun Caixia to Jiamu.

Now Jia's mother doesn't care about everything, and she only relies on Mrs. Wang to make troubles, but she calls a few granddaughters and Baoyu laughs in front of her to relieve boredom.

When Mrs. Wang came in, Yingchun stood up and said hello. After Mrs. Wang sat down, they all sat beside Jia Mu again.

Jia Mu asked with a smile, "What are you doing now?"

Mrs. Wang got up and replied: "Now everything in the garden has been tidied up, and everything is ready. I just wait for the mother to come back after the New Year. The daughter-in-law thinks that it is an honor for the mother to visit relatives, so it is not easy to make a fuss." What a problem. Of course the two maids want to see the empress, and Bao Yulan also has to go forward. Therefore, shouldn’t someone come and teach me how to salute and how to advance and retreat when seeing the empress?”

Jia Mu smiled and said, "You are very thoughtful, so just do it."

Mrs. Wang opened her mouth here before she wanted to speak, but the girl outside shouted: "Master and wife are here!"

It was too late for Mrs. Wang to escape, so she had to stand up.Jia She and his wife came in, and Yingchun was busy saluting.

Jia Amnesty waved his hand and said, "Greeting girl, take the third and fourth girls to each house."

Yingchun looked at Mother Jia, who nodded slightly, and the three sisters withdrew.

Mother Jia looked at Jia Amnesty's posture and wanted to say something, but as expected, Mrs. Xing opened her mouth in a strange way: "Second Madam, let me say something unpleasant. Although our house is not as good as it used to be, at least it is the Duke of the State. The foundation passed down from the government. You are in charge of the family, so you have to worry about everything."

Mrs. Wang didn't know what to say when she heard this, she couldn't help asking: "What does the eldest lady mean?"

Madam Xing twitched her mouth and said to Jia Mufu, "Old lady, you don't know how big a joke is in our house nowadays."

As he spoke, he winked at Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty coughed, and with a sullen face learned what he had heard when he went out to have fun.

At the end, he said: "The Xue family is relatives of the second room. Even if the second wife is a sister, she should be persuaded. It's not a big deal to lose our face. If we get tired of the girls, wouldn't those girls suffer from indiscriminate disasters? "

Mrs. Wang's face turned red and turned pale, and it was not easy to argue with her uncle, so she had to bear the pain, and the rosary in her hand became more and more forceful.
