The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

After Ping'er and Sister Feng talked about it, the flirtatious flirtatious flirting was a hundred times stronger than before, and where the affection was strong, the wind and frost along the way seemed less severe.Sister Feng's time limit is set according to her walking pace. Now that there is a motorcade accompanying her, she will have a lot of leisure time. Crossing the water, and eating delicious food, within a few months, all the people in the group have grown up white and fat. Although Sister Feng is on the way to exile, her charm is even more beautiful than before.

Although they are all in the spring breeze and lingering, hundreds of miles away, Jia Zheng is full of sorrow - because he persuaded Wang Ziteng to commit suicide, he always felt ashamed of the Wang family, so he took special care of Wang Ren and the others. Those who are not successful, since they have no hope of official career, just idle around all day long, drinking tea and playing around, doing everything.Wang Ren had some silver in his hands first, but he was not a rascal. When the money ran out in winter, he would go to several relatives' houses to play the autumn wind.

Jia Zheng gave a lot of money several times, and every time he persuaded him to set up a family, start a business, and raise his nephew and siblings, Wang Ren resigned in front of him, turned around and walked out, throwing the money on the old man who didn't know where he lived.

Mrs. Wang saw that her nephew was worthless and his family was struggling, so she secretly tried to persuade him several times. Jia Zheng gradually stopped giving large sums, and only sent a few bits and pieces each time.How can Wang Ren accept it?Every day in Jia's mansion, he pointed at the sky and scolded the earth, and counted the faults of Jia's mansion, which made the whole family restless.Jia Zheng was also afraid that he would provoke his tongue, and he was suspected in his own place, so he should not make a fuss. He was worried every day and couldn't control himself.

There is also the big house, Jia Amnesty, because Jia Lian is away now, and Xia Jingui is domineering in the mansion, and he, the old man, has no money to spend, so he also puts his idea on Jia Zheng's head. Mrs. Xing came to the second room several times and kept talking about it How does Jia Zheng help Wang Ren, but he doesn't care about his own brothers, and he talks about the desolate situation in his own mansion. It is clear that Jia Lian and Xia Jingui's business is making money every day, but in Mrs. Xing's mouth, even life is difficult, and Jia She has always been indulging Because of the wine and sex, the health is not very good, and now there is no money to extend the doctor to ask for the medicine, the bitterness and coldness, it is really sad to hear, and tears to see.

Jia Zheng had no choice but to help his elder brother a few times. The situation in his mansion became worse and worse. Although one of his daughters was a concubine, she was not the one who was extremely favored. Entering the official career is also the time when money is needed to buy peace. When the grandson is still studying, he can't bear such arguing. An heirloom is good.

The discussion on this side was still undecided, but Aunt Xue on the other side saw that Wang Ren was making a fuss, and that Xue Pan's supervisor had bought it from Sister Feng. She was afraid that Xue Pan would be involved, so she also called Xue Pan overnight, saying that it would be better to lose this supervisor and go back to her hometown. Just focus on marrying a daughter-in-law, having a grandson, carrying on the family line, and living a life of duty.

Xue Pan's heart is not in studying, but in Zhang Jing, but he uses reading to persuade his mother: "People have worked so hard, and if they have money, they can't buy a prison student. Seeing that they are full of books, they can donate an official." My son did it, it's good for my mother, tell me to leave like this, all the years of hard work are in vain! I really don't know what my mother thinks. Besides, if my mother is afraid that my cousin will bite out, she should not leave, so As soon as he left, he didn't feel guilty at first, but he seemed guilty, if he happened to ask some censor to know, read the book, and deal with us as the remnants of the royal family, it would be wrong!"

Aunt Xue panicked: "That's the reason, but your cousin comes to blackmail every day. Sometimes he says he will tell you about buying the prison student, and sometimes he says he wants to die with you. How can you let me rest assured?"

Xue Pan, also a thousand-year-old elm head, finally opened his mind for a while, and leaned into Aunt Xue's ear and said: "This is easy to handle. As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are easy to be officials. We are also entrusted by a high-ranking official family." I beg him to protect me, my cousin is a person who was demoted because of a crime, and I would never dare to easily go to those noble officials’ houses to make trouble, and then entrust it to others, it will also benefit my future, wouldn’t it kill two birds with one stone.”

Aunt Xue was exactly Liushenwuzhu. When her son said it, she said, "That's good, but where do we know those officials?" The relatives of Xue's royal family, only the Jia family still has some false titles, but the Jia family is unreliable. Yes, in today's world, if there is no connection, no matter how much money you have, you can't buy an official position. How can it be good for a woman like her to bring a fatherless child like Xue Pan?

Xue Pan saw that Aunt Xue was in the trap, so he played tricks even more, and said in a secretive way: "If you talk about a high official, we actually know someone now, but I don't know if Mom will agree."

Aunt Xue's eyebrows twitched, and she said, "You said... your Uncle Lin?"

Xue Pan was ecstatic in his heart, and pretended to be embarrassed: "Exactly, in our family, he is the only one who can bring some relatives."

Aunt Xue couldn't hold back Xue Pan in the past, and also proposed a kiss to Lin Hai for him, but Lin Hai rejected it at that time. She felt that it was boring in her heart, so she didn't quite agree. When her son mentioned it again, she frowned and said: " In the past when your uncle was still around and our family was in good condition, he still refused to agree to the marriage. Now that your uncle's house is like that, our family seems to have no backing, how could he agree?"

Xue Pan smiled and said, "Mom, I'm not afraid of you saying that uncle Lin's family was so prominent in the past, so Uncle Lin refused to ask his niece to marry me! Even my younger sister told me several times before that my uncle is too powerful and too much is too late, let us see Do you want to have a relationship? Besides, what good business did my cousin and sister Feng do at that time? Sooner or later, something will happen. But now that the incident has happened and the dust has settled, it is sure that we are not involved. Uncle Lin may still think that We are better."

Aunt Xue stared at what her son said, and said: "What they did was not a good deal. How did you solve that case? You were able to be a prison student, and it all depends on your sister Feng. That's your mother." Uncle, dear cousin!"

Xue Pan immediately smiled and said: "Of course I am not saying that they are not good, because of love, of course uncle and cousins ​​are kissing each other, but the matter has come to this point, and the eldest cousin looks like that, what can we do?"

When Aunt Xue heard him mentioning Wang Ren, she felt melancholy, and remembering that Mrs. Wang Ziteng was sick and dying, she sighed even more, and said: "At the beginning, I thought Ren'er was also a good boy, why did he become like this now?" What does it look like?"

Xue Pan muttered, "It's all about money."

Aunt Xue flicked him in the face, and said, "You can't think of that? Are you going to see Zhang Jing again?"

Xue Pan said angrily: "Mom said that like I'm useless. Your son is also a serious Confucian student now, and he has some famous names in the Imperial College. Don't look down on him."

After hearing this, Aunt Xue was skeptical, and said, "I'll ask the matchmaker to try again—hasn't Zhang Jing allowed him yet?"

Xue Pan said: "She refuses to go out, and she goes on a hunger strike at home as soon as she asks people to look at her, so Uncle Lin dare not force her. God pity her, she is so skinny now that she is as thin as a bone. ——I never went to see her, I just heard what others said."

Aunt Xue saw that Xue Pan only wanted Zhang Jing, so she had no choice but to ask someone to go. When Xue Pan saw her thinking, he naturally reached out to beat and knead her for her. At the moment, he leaned over again and said, "Mom, I have another idea. Mom, please listen to me."

Aunt Xue said: "Let me listen to your thoughts first."

Xue Pan laughed and said, "I think, if I marry Jing'er, one of my sons will take her surname, will Mom think it's okay?"

Aunt Xue suddenly changed her face and said, "Isn't that the same as visiting? You are the only child in the family, how is that possible!"

Xue Pan hurriedly comforted her and said, "I didn't mean that... I just, cough, I think Uncle Lin has been reluctant to agree, it's just that I can give it to Jinger, and so can others. With a uncle like Uncle Lin taking care of her, not to mention the young masters of the family, she is really free to pick and choose those talents. Therefore, if she wants to impress Uncle Lin, she must be rejected by others. Jinger is the only daughter in her family, and her father has no incense. Inheritance, every year on the festival day, there is not even a person who presides over the ceremony. If I am willing to choose a son to inherit the incense of her family, she will be happy, and so will Uncle Lin. Besides, I only say for one son, not a They all took her last name."

Aunt Xue frowned and said, "This...you heard what Zhang Jing said, right?"

Xue Pan shook his head and said, "This is what I thought. Mom, I really think Jinger is pretty good, and I really want to marry her."

Aunt Xue saw that it was rare for him to put on such a serious face, looked at him again and again, and sighed after a long time: "Forget it, you have been thinking about this for several years, I see that you have not gone out to mess around these days." Damn, it can be seen that Zhang Jing can really persuade you to be better, and I will follow you."

When Xue Pan heard her promise, he was so happy that the corners of his eyes and brows opened, and he hurriedly made a big bow to Aunt Xue and said, "My son, thank you in advance!"

Aunt Xue said: "Don't thank me in a hurry, I'll ask someone to tell me, I don't know what's going on."

Xue Pan laughed and said, "With this, it will definitely be done."

Aunt Xue thought the same in her heart, she smiled when she heard the words, but she still refused to make a final decision.The next day, I found Mrs. Wang to give a message to Aunt Fang. After a few days, Aunt Fang coyly asked Mrs. Wang to pay her respects, but it was Lin Hai who said that if Xue Pan wanted to marry Zhang Jing, the Xue family Baochai must be married off first.
