The Jade of the Red Chamber

Ten years have passed since that silent panic, but Xue Pan still remembers it fresh, as if it happened yesterday.

Turning his head to look at Leng Erlang who was sleeping soundly beside the pillow, Uncle Xue who woke up from the dream was upset, he stretched out his leg and kicked him, unfortunately it was dragged somewhere behind him, the pain and soreness made Uncle Xue gnash his teeth.Liu Xianglian was kicked awake and opened her eyes to see the ferocious face in front of her. She was about to throw her fist at it, but at the last moment, she recognized that it was the face of his family's idiot.

He frowned and glanced over: "What are you doing?" Anyone who was kicked awake in the middle of the night when he was sleeping soundly would not have a good face.

However, when Leng Erlang saw Xue Pan's prostrate posture, he remembered the fact that he had just had a full meal last night, so he couldn't help slowing down his expression, and asked softly, "Back pain?"

Xue Pan glared at Liu Xianglian bitterly, turned his head away with a "hum", and waited for the day when he was up there!

Liu Xianglian smiled, stretched out her hand to rub his waist, her warm hand was just right, Xue Pan was so comfortable that she almost groaned, and soon fell asleep.Liu Xianglian propped up her head with one hand, and pinched him gently with the other hand, half-lying on the half-lying side, seeing the big idiot Xue curled up to her side unconsciously, a look that Xue Pan had never seen before gradually appeared in his eyes—— Very soft and clear tenderness.

Through the window screen, one can already see the pale east. In the past, this time was the time when Liu Xianglian got up to fight and practice martial arts in the courtyard, but today, Leng Erlang looked at his big head on his chest, and decided to be lazy for a day—if He got up, afraid that this idiot would not be able to sleep soundly - he had tossed a bit last night, so let's take it as compensation.Leng Erlang pouted, thinking reluctantly, but the movement of wrapping the quilt under his hands was extremely gentle.

But at this moment, Liu Xianglian couldn't sleep anymore, she closed her eyes, and suddenly remembered the time when they were together.

……

This year, regardless of Xue Pan's objection, Xue Baochai got through with Aunt Xue somehow, and actually rejected the Zhong family marriage that Xue Pan had painstakingly selected, and wanted to make a fool of her!

Xue Pan really didn't understand why his younger sister, who was always reasonable, insisted on marrying into an official's family, even though the family said they would welcome her generously, but after all, she was just an aunt!Thinking of the way his mother treated his aunt when he accidentally saw it in Jinling, Xue Pan shuddered.Even if Xue's family fell, Baochai was still their family's loved and raised concubine, how could she suffer that kind of abuse?

No matter what you say, you can't change your mother and sister's mind. Aunt Xue even sent Baochai's Geng Tie to Cao's family when Xue Pan was caught up in the chores in the shop. Xue Pan couldn't help yelling at Aunt Xue After a while, but the flood is hard to recover, Baochai's mind has been made up, Xue Pan red-eyed and rushed out of the house.

When Liu Xianglian found Xue Pan, this big fool was drinking in a small wine shop, Liu Xianglian didn't persuade him, but took a wine bowl by herself, and quietly accompanied him to drink.Maybe the wine in this small restaurant is impure, anyway, Leng Erlang was not drunk at all, he stared at the opposite person in the middle of the night, his expression became more and more sober, his eyes were dark and frightening, but it was Xue Pan, with drunken eyes Lying on the table, he kept muttering, saying that he would use his sleeve to wipe the snot and tears on his face after a while.

After that, Xue Pan became more and more silent, and became very thin. Aunt Xue was worried about Baochai's affairs, even though she felt distressed, she couldn't care about it.

A few days later, the nanny sent by the Cao family was talking to Aunt Xue. This Nanny Wu was Mrs. Cao’s dowry. Master Cao’s nanny was very powerful in the Cao family. Aunt Xue felt better when she saw that she had been sent here. .

Grandma Wu smiled, with a very friendly expression, and said affectionately: "My wife, what our old lady means is that we hope that Miss Xue will come in as soon as possible, preferably at the beginning of next month."

"At the beginning of next month?" Aunt Xue was a little hesitant. Is it too soon? It's almost the end of the month.

Grandma Wu smiled and said: "It's a bit tight, but the first thing our old lady thinks about is Miss Xue. You must know that our master has only one single seedling, which is too thin. Got a son, this 'equal wife' status will be advertised to relatives and friends immediately, and the second one will be evaluated by our master soon, and we want to use Miss Xue's entry to bring joy, and I also heard that Miss Xue has a psychic golden lock." Suddenly he approached Aunt Xue and laughed in a low voice: "I heard the news from the official department, our master will probably be promoted to half a level this time, if Miss Xue enters the door, who would say that Miss Xue is energetic?"

Aunt Xue was also willing in her heart, and only worried about Baochai's grievances, she said, "It's okay, but everyone has to think about it in the long run." It's not bad, but I don't know that this saying is only used by merchants. Usually, the master is out in business, and the first wife does not follow, so he promotes an aunt to be an ordinary wife to manage the affairs around the master. In these official families, "elevate wife" is only used. will provoke ridicule.

A trace of disdain flashed quickly in Wu Momo's lowered eyes, she entered the door to be a little girl, so why would she even think about it!If it weren't for the fact that the Xue family had a certain background, it used to be really glamorous, and the old lady was very dissatisfied with the wife from a small family, so how could she choose such an "old" girl with a bad reputation!There is also the rumor of the golden lock, hey, the door is also a non-stop master!

Inevitably, she talked and coaxed for half a day. After hearing this, Aunt Xue felt that the matter of Baochai was over on the one hand, and on the other, she could use the power of the Cao family to tell Xue Pan that they were close friends. She felt more at ease, so she asked about the gift day.

But Nanny Wu is an old, treacherous and cunning person, she doesn't reveal anything, she only says that there are old ladies who like to wrong Miss Xue when she enters the door, it's just that the etiquette should be low-key and simple.

Aunt Xue was looking forward to the big cake that Nanny Wu had drawn, and also asked about Master Cao's only son who was in poor health. Mrs. Cao was not born well, and her bones were not in good health. If she can be promoted to be the first wife, she agrees.

When Xue Pan came back, he secretly felt sulky, and then he went to make a dowry for his younger sister. In fact, it was almost the same, but this time Baochai was serving as an aunt, and those red cloth and ruby-studded ones Jewelry was a must, and no aunt would bring in a dowry that surpassed that of his concubine, so Xue Pan had no choice but to replace those conspicuous ones with silver notes, and in the end it was only a dowry of nine lifts.Xue Pan was busy walking around, but luckily Leng Erlang was by his side all the time, which somehow made Xue Pan feel better.

On the fifth day of the next month, Xue Baochai was carried into the Cao Mansion in a pink sedan chair, followed by her dowry and dowry, two maids and a mother.Because she is not a regular wife, it cannot be used on the day of every six or eight. The Cao family promised to invite relatives and friends to have a good time. Even if I feel wronged, I can't say anything.

Xue Pan escorted his younger sister all the way into Cao's house. Looking at the black lacquered back door of Cao's house that was closed with a "bang", he was so depressed and panicked that he would not report to Aunt Xue, but went directly to the backyard of the shop to open a large shop. The jar daughter is red.

Liu Xianglian knew that he was not feeling well, so she took a wine cup to accompany him, halfway through the drink, Xue Pan suddenly burst into tears, and said: "If I didn't beat someone to death and bring a lawsuit, the Xue family would also It will not be defeated until now, and Baochai will not be delayed forever, and now she has become an aunt for someone!..."

After hearing this, Liu Xianglian knew that this fool had blamed Xue Baochai's marriage on her own. She shook her head. Mrs. Xue's family would not be so resolute anymore, not to mention that this girl from the Xue's family was able to make a marriage a few years ago when the Xue's family was still good. If she hadn't thought too much, why would she have ended up like this.Even though he knew this, Leng Erlang still softened his heart because of the words of the idiot opposite him, remembering the face of this daring bastard when he first met, and looking at his pitiful appearance now, Liu Xianglian stared blankly. god.

By the time the moon was in the sky, Xue Pan was already drunk and full of nonsense, calling her "sister" for a while, "mother" for a while, and "Second Brother Liu" for a while... Liu Xianglian suddenly came back to her senses, her eyes dark Staring at Xue Pan with his eyes, he didn't know what to think, and suddenly picked up the wine jar and "grumble" and drank two big mouthfuls of wine, dropped the jar, and went to the temporary room behind the shop with Xue Pan...

The next day, Xue Pan woke up and stared in horror at Liu Xianglian, who was entangled naked with him on the messy bed.Enduring the exploding headache, he gently moved Liu Xianglian away, and Xue Pan gasped as he sat up. The bruises on Liu Xianglian's body and the messy lower body on the bed made it easy to see what happened , Xue Pan thought about the thoughts he had had before, and now he was even more sure that he had raped Liu Erlang when he was drunk!

This movement alarmed Liu Xianglian, and before he could open his eyes, Xue Pan rolled out of bed in embarrassment, knelt down in front of the bed with a "boom", stretched out his hand and slapped himself first, murmuring that he didn't know what to say.

Xue Pan is really stupid at the moment, his mind is full of Brother Liu's righteousness to him, but he himself does something that is inferior to pigs and dogs. He raised his head, his eyes were full of panic, and looked at Liu on the bed Xianglian looked at her with cold eyes, raised her hand in a dazed mind, and slapped her face vigorously.

For some reason, Xue Pan was terrified. Liu Xianglian broke up with him and walked away without saying a word. The fool Xue just slapped his face so hard that the corners of his mouth and eyes were almost broken.

Liu Xianglian frowned, a flash of distress flashed in her eyes, but she said coldly: "Help me up!"

Xue Pan panicked to help him up, but when he touched the bare skin, his hands trembled and he loosened his grip.Liu Xianglian snorted, feeling that her waist was no longer her own, numb and in pain, gouged out Xue Pan's eyes, and let out an angry "hum", but the corner of her eyes lingered for several times, Xue Pan was pale and firm His chest will be returned to this fool sooner or later!

Xue Pan trembled, not daring to look around, he lifted him up with trembling hands, and pulled the pillow behind him with rare wit.Sitting and bumping into the back, Liu Xianglian broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, and gritted her teeth to hold back.

After being dazed for a while, Xue Pan suddenly woke up, remembering the unusual temperature he felt just now, and the blood on the bed sheet, and stammered: "You, you have a fever, I, I will go find Doctor!" He quickly added: "Don't, don't... I'll do as you please!" Then he rushed out in a panic.

Liu Xianglian looked at herself in a mess and frowned. This idiot was really unreliable, but he heard the phrase "Don't go", and couldn't help curling his lips, let him deal with it--very good!

After a while, Xue Pan came in again with a pot of hot water and a bamboo stick, closed the door, and said with a flushed face, "That... I'll clean it up for you!"

……

Afterwards, Xue Pan seemed to have opened his eyes. He looked at Liu Xianglian more and more wrongly, and acted more cautiously. Although Liu Xianglian acted unruly, he was really a character with all-round talents in civil and military affairs. Because of this, that fool secretly searched for her. Look at some books of poetry and songs.

Leng Erlang naturally saw all these things in his eyes, as for what he thought in his heart, he didn't know, anyway, although he kept making sarcastic remarks, it made the "fool, fool" in his mouth get closer step by step.

Aunt Xue fantasized about her daughter-in-law and fat grandson in the inner house, and mentioned it in front of Xue Pan every day, but Xue Pan seemed to have changed his temper, not only did not look sideways at those beautiful maids, even Xiangling asked him to inquire I gave a sum of money to the lost natal family and sent it away.

Maybe it's true that people are doing it and the sky is watching. Seeing that the kind and gentle Aunt Xue has carried a lot of evil debts, when she forced Xue Pan to marry the Xia family, she was so happy that she fainted. After waking up, his body and bones deteriorated rapidly. Xue Pan, who moved out of the house in a rage, stayed by the bed every day and did not dare to leave, but he passed away within a few days. The doctor said that it was the root cause of the disease many years ago.

Xue Pan kept guarding his spirit for several days and nights, and when he couldn't hold back his faint, he woke up, looked at the worried eyes in front of him, and sighed. Suddenly, the scene that he dreamed about many years ago--Xue's family When Ye Zhengxing and Mr. Xue were busy with business in other places, the young Xue Pan hid in a remote small room in his mother's yard for fun, waiting for the maids to search for them all over the garden, but he saw his mother and the nurse beside her. The scene where the mother joins forces to pour poison on the favored and pregnant aunt.

At that time, the woman was so hoarse that she snatched the medicine bowl and poured a few mouthfuls into Aunt Xue's mouth. After that, several people forced her to pour the whole jar of medicine.

Xue Pan, who was still young, looked at the aunt whose face turned black and didn't move for a while, and couldn't even make a sound. Later, Xue Pan and Aunt Xue were ill together for a long time, and Aunt Xue vomited several times. The second black blood, it took more than half a year to slowly recover.

After recovering, Xue Pan seemed to have forgotten about it, but his temper became more violent, and he had to be accompanied by several maids when he slept, and his behavior became more domineering, as if the more domineering he was, the less afraid he would be.

Xue Pan shook his head, and after Aunt Xue's funeral was finished, he went to Xia's family to withdraw the marriage. The Xia family obviously didn't want the girl to wait for another three years, and extorted several hundred taels of silver from Xue Pan before withdrawing the marriage.

Afterwards Knocktiaotiao and Liu Xianglian just came over like this. I heard that when Miss Xia Jingui of the Xia family was beaten and scolded by her husband's family and returned home, the two were preparing to adopt two babies home in the shantang.

……

Liu Xianglian narrowed her eyes, and looked at Xue Pan more softly.The morning light shone through the window screen into the bed tent, Xue Pan unconsciously rubbed against his arms, Leng Erlang showed a slight smile, it was really worth the offense that night~~ this is good.
