The Warm Jade of the Red Chamber

Although Aunt Xue was convinced by Xue Baochai that Xichun would not be able to be his son's wife, she still felt disappointed.

I didn't expect it at first, but I didn't think it was anything. I just had hope, but now I look at other people, and I always feel that something is not good enough.

In this way, it is inevitable to reveal a few words in front of Xue Pan. Aunt Xue is just talking casually.

Xue Pan didn't feel that he was not worthy of Xichun. His family was originally one of the four great families, not much worse than their Jia family. What's more, now that the Jia family has fallen, there is no chance of recovery. He still has some errands, but he still has a part of the business, not to mention that there are a princess and a little princess in the family.

Especially when Xichun's marriage partner was only a sixth-rank Captain Zhenwei, Xue Pan became more and more dissatisfied.He felt that if Xue Baochai was willing to come forward to ask for this marriage for him, it might not be impossible.If he can marry the concubine's righteous daughter as his wife, he is not afraid that he will not be able to revive the Xue family and regain his job in the imperial business. At that time, his mother and underground father should be proud of him.

It's just that Xue Baochai is only willing to spend her thoughts and means on herself and her son, but she doesn't remember to support her natal brother at all, maybe because she is afraid that he will have a future and take back her own property.

As a result, Xue Pan hated Xue Baochai even more, and made him a handsome man. He must not be controlled by a woman. The first step is to regain his own property.

After all, the surname of his own property is Xue, and the reason why Xue Pan didn't do anything about it was because Xue Baochai arranged for the manager and shopkeeper, but now Xue Baochai's mind is mostly divided by his son's affairs, and he is too busy doing his own thing, ignoring the outside world These many industries have handled everything, which gave Xue Pan an opportunity to take advantage of.

Xue Pan is naturally not so capable alone, but he also has a capable cousin named Xue Bian.Xue Biao is also a hard-working man. He lost his father in his early years and his mother also passed away a few years ago. Fortunately, his only younger sister is already married. Xue Baoqin is transparent, and she can live her own life well.

Xue Biao's marriage was arranged with the help of Aunt Xue. She was the daughter of a small family named Zhang Yan. She was gentle and well-educated. Although the dowry was simple, Xue Biao was still very satisfied. Yeon is really good.

Naturally, Aunt Xue didn't marry her nephew a better wife than her son to promote her style, but she saw that Xia Jingui was the only daughter of the Xia family, with a good appearance and a good family background, so she never expected this bad temper.

Xue Biao's own family also has property, his father had less when he separated the family, but most of them were not confiscated for committing crimes like Xue Pan and his eldest family, so now, Xue Pan is no worse than Xue Pan.However, Xue Biao did not sell off his family's property in Jinling. After all, he had no foundation in the capital, so it was safer to be in Jinling.

Originally, he was too lazy to take care of the matter of Xue Pan's house, anyway, he didn't want Xue Baochai's favor.But this time Aunt Xue went back to Jinling to sell the ancestral property. When Xue Biao persuaded him, Aunt Xue told him that he was ungrateful. Later, because the gift money given to Youshi was not enough, she asked Xue Biao to take part of it.

Xue Biao is also a man of this era. It is a deep-rooted idea that the family property should be inherited by males. No matter how much he loves his sister, he only gives some shops and Zhuangzi as dowries, and he does not allow Xue Baoqin to intervene in the family's property.

Therefore, I am very upset about the actions of Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai, especially when they "ruined the foundation of their ancestors", which is the most unforgivable thing in Xue Biao's view.

Therefore, Xue Biao hesitated and agreed to Xue Pan's request for help, but he was only willing to suggest ideas behind the scenes, but never came forward.

Therefore, with the support of Xue Biao, Xue Pan bought off the principals of various industries, or forced them to submit by grabbing their braids. He used both kindness and power to temporarily win over some people. After all, Xue Pan was the reasonable and legal master of the Xue family's property. Even if the quarrel was brought to the Yamen, he would take advantage of it. If Xue Baochai changed the names of these properties if it was delayed, he would not be able to make decisions at that time.

But this is just a stopgap measure, if Xue Baochai is brought back to his senses, Xue Pan will definitely not be Xue Baochai's opponent.So Xue Biao suggested that Xue Pan sell the Xue family's property in the capital, and then go back to Jinling to buy back the ancestral property, and then buy some other family property.

Xue Pan also nodded and said yes, he was actually a little afraid of Xue Baochai, not to mention that he didn't want to be scolded by his underground father as a prodigal son after his death, and he didn't want to suffer something for no fault of his own.

It was not too late for Xue Baochai to get the news. After all, Xue Pan's methods were still not leak-proof, but there were five maids in the palace. She could not and did not dare to use many methods, but Xue Pan was determined to sell. After leaving the property in Beijing and returning to Jinling, Aunt Xue's persuasion was useless, and Xue Baochai always avoided seeing him when she summoned him. All the cash in the shop she still held in her hands was taken away, and she wanted to force Xue Pan to come to the door, but Xue Pan was persuaded by Xue Bian this time, and he was quite determined to cut off his wrists. Aunt Xue refused to let Aunt Xue manage the money of the property, so she insisted on making her own decisions.

Aunt Xue has cried and cried, scolded and scolded, but she has no choice but to face her son's question, "Mother, will you follow me back to Jinling, or go to the county prince's mansion to be the old lady?" Talked nicely to Xue Baochai and asked her not to hate her silly brother, but finally followed Xue Pan back to Jinling.

No matter how good the daughter is, no matter how noble she is, she still has to live with her son in the old age. How can she rely on her daughter to live under the fence?And now her daughter's life is not easy, she should stop making her daughter attractive.

Xue Pan returned to his hometown proudly. He has experienced ups and downs over the years, and had the experience of being ruled by others. Xue Pan now absolutely hates that feeling of powerlessness, but he is willing to work hard to improve himself. He returned to Jinling and bought it honestly. In some industries, following Xue Pan to learn how to do things, it is natural not to think about the former prominence, but there is nothing wrong with living a down-to-earth life.

It is also said that Xue Pan and Xue Biao were lucky, and Xue Baochai was at a time when Xue Baochai couldn't make a move, otherwise how could it be so easy to get away?

But when they returned to Jinling, Xue Baochai couldn't do anything with them. She was a widowed concubine, she couldn't leave Beijing, and she didn't have many people at her disposal, let alone any contacts in Jinling.Taking a step back, even if she has the means, she can't do anything to her own brother and cousin, otherwise, wouldn't it make her even more vicious?

Xue Baochai behaved with her tail between her legs, but after a few years, Zhuang Yu and her still didn't kiss her anymore, and she was deliberately cultivated in a kind and honest direction. As long as Zhuang Xuan heard about what Xue Baochai had done, he felt very uncomfortable.Abide by the rule of "the son never speaks of the mother's faults", but really can't raise much admiration.Compared with the appearance of relying on Xue Baochai for a moment when he was a child, the difference is so different that Xue Baochai is sad and desperate.

Xue Baochai has been her concubine with a clear heart, and she has been doing it for three to forty years. Apart from her servants, she has no one around her who can speak her heart.Even the closest family members of her natal family have separated from her and avoided her from afar.

When the news of Aunt Xue's death came, Xue Baochai, who had passed her thirties at that time, burst into tears and never shed tears for the rest of her life.

When you are young, there is no harmony between husband and wife, and when you are old, you can’t enjoy the fun of having children and grandchildren around your knees. When you get old, when you think about it, what else is left in your life other than calculations, calculations, and calculations?

But she said that Xichun helped Jia Zhen and his son to return to their hometown, and after a hundred days, they returned to the capital by boat. She really couldn't survive the days in Jinling, so she should stay in the capital for the rest of Qi Shuai's life.

Li Lin personally picked her up at the pier in a carriage, and frowned when they met her, "I'm thinner."

Xichun smiled wryly, during the time in Jinling, the life was extremely noisy, which gave her a terrible headache.

If it wasn't for the fact that Qiu Qingyu sent three experienced nuns and a few maids to accompany her back, it was a kind of protection, otherwise she really didn't know if she would be able to make it to this day - she would run away if the hundred days were not over Back in Beijing, her original intention of insisting on all failures was in vain.

Let alone You Shi, there is no man in the family who is the head of the family, and there is no one in the mother's family. These days are really miserable.It's just that Xichun learned that Youshi planned to "sell" her to Xue Pan as his successor, even though Youshi swore that she was just lying to Aunt Xue, Xichun no longer had any affection for Youshi, and avoided seeing her. .

As for Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, they are said to be farther away from Xichun. Xichun was raised in the Rong Mansion since she was a child, and she is very close to Jia Baoyu, Wang Xifeng, and the commission from returning to her natal family. of.

Because Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng bought some private properties back then, they are now living the best life among the group of people. Only Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing can't live in peace. Wang Xifeng asked for money, but he didn't think about it. Their family's reputation has been ruined to such a degree, and if their descendants get the name of being unfilial, they really don't want to stand out?

As for Jia Zheng's room, Tanchun somehow became what it is today. Whether he is happy or not, he likes to toss Jia Baoyu for fun, but Jia Zheng doesn't know. The former phoenix egg came out.

Xichun wants to persuade them, since they have ended up in such a situation, why can't they live a happy life with one heart and one mind?It's just that when Tanchun thinks about his own experience and current situation, and then thinks about Xichun's good luck, his words are difficult to listen to, sharp and mean, which makes Xichun very sad to hear it, and he will be discouraged again. As far as Fang is concerned, he is just an outsider after all, and cannot meddle in other people's family affairs.

It doesn't matter whether she is cowardly or cool, but this time she returns to the capital, she never wants to go back to Jinling. Anyway, she is about to get married, and even if she dies, she is not eligible to enter the Jia family's ancestral grave.

Li Lin sneered in her heart after hearing Xichun's words. Tanchun was jealous of Xichun's current situation, but why didn't she think about it? What is the reason for the benefits of others.
