The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

Although Xue Pan has always been reckless, he is not a stubborn person to the end. After doing that thing with Zhang Jing, because of the sympathy between the two at the beginning, and he has not had sex for a long time, it is inevitable that his spirit will wander and his mind will not belong. When she was really pregnant and wanted to talk to Lin Hai, Xue Pan came to her senses, and was afraid that a square person like Lin Hai would be angry at Zhang Jing for ruining her family reputation, and threatened her, no matter what, Zhang Jing was still a weak woman. I'm afraid that he won't be able to endure such hardships - as soon as he thought of this, he immediately drove all the servants who were in need to the gate of Lin's mansion, and told them that if there was any trouble in the mansion, or if the women behaved strangely, they must come to know immediately Only then can he feel at ease, but he still cares about Baochai—he still doesn't know about Shoutong's betrayal of the Lord, and he only knows that Daiyu is seriously ill, and Baochai stays in Suzhou waiting to marry Baoyu. He was happy for his younger sister, but he was also worried about making enemies with Lin Hai. With so many worries and thoughts, Mr. Xue didn't even want to go to school. Within a few months, he lost a lot of weight.

On that day, a few of his schoolmates, who were good at playing, saw that he had been worried for a long time, so they discussed working together and invited him to go to the bustling place in the city to relax. Xue Pan was just trying to drink away his worries. At that time, when he heard this, he responded repeatedly. When the big guy came out of the school in the afternoon, Xue Pan ordered people to go home to report the news, and rode to the restaurant by himself. Come on, give him a fist, and said: "Brother Xue is polite."

Xue Pan thought for a long time before he smiled and said, "You are... Boss Liu in the East Garden?"

That Tsing Yi said with a smile: "I used to just be excited by accident, and made a few cameo appearances, and I'm not from the garden."

Hearing this, Xue Pan reined in the reins, cupped his hands on the horse, and said with a smile, "I remember, you are Liu Xianglian, Brother Liu. Brother Liu, are you all right?" He was used to the faces of these children, and he was ready to send him away. Liu Xianglian had a few taels of silver, so after a brief ceremony, she reached into her sleeve with her right hand and squeezed out a piece of silver. A lot of money, felt a little embarrassed, then cupped his hands again, saying: "There are some things today, I can't accompany you, Brother Liu will come to my house some other day, let's catch up on the old days."

Liu Xianglian said: "I'm not here to fight with you, don't worry. I'm just entrusted by Lingmei to ask you to discuss something."

Xue Pan stared and said, "My sister is obviously in Suzhou, why did she come to the capital again?"

Liu Xianglian smiled, and stretched out her hand to hand out a small object. Xue Pan took it and saw that it was Baochai's most cherished wooden hairpin. , I'm going to take out this hairpin and play with it.Such things in the boudoir would never be known to those who were not very close.

When Xue Pan saw the wooden hairpin, he naturally had another calculation in his heart. He looked Liu Xianglian up and down, and saw that he seemed to be taller and stronger than he remembered before, and he was also dressed in brocade clothes. Looking a little downcast, he changed into another smiling face, called the boy and his friends to tell them that they had something to do today, got off the horse, took Liu Xianglian's hand and walked towards the tea shop beside him, smiling: "Brother Liu, we Sit down and talk."

Liu Xianglian grabbed him and said with a half smile, "There are many people here, let's go to the other end and talk."

Xue Pan let him drag him along, and the two of them walked around several alleys and entered a small courtyard. This place is close to the imperial city, and the land is expensive, but the courtyard is like a snow cave with no decorations. There was a layer of fallen leaves, and dust on the tables and chairs. It didn't look like someone had lived there recently.

Liu Xianglian brought Xue Pan to him, and withdrew by herself. Xue Pan was about to ask him, but suddenly she saw the front door of the courtyard pushed open, and Baochai came out. When she saw Xue Pan, she also smiled like Liu Xianglian, and said: "elder brother."

Xue Pan was not very surprised when he saw Baochai, he just turned his eyes to Liu Xianglian outside the door, and when he turned back to look at Baochai, the smile on his face deepened, he pouted at Baochai, and said: : "Sister finally figured it out?"

Baochai was startled for a moment, and immediately understood what Xue Pan meant, and said with a wry smile: "I called my brother here for no other reason, but because there is one thing I need my brother to do for me."

Xue Pan patted his chest and said, "Your sister, if you have something to say, just say it."

Baochai hesitated for a moment, then Fang said: "Brother, do you know, in fact, from the very beginning, I didn't like Baoyu."

Xue Pan glanced at Liu Xianglian, then at Baochai, and said with a smile: "You don't even like Baoyu. I don't know who is the person who can catch your eye?"

Baochai stretched out her hand and pulled out Daiyu who was hiding behind her and peeking out, and pushed it to her. She said slowly with a smile, "The surname is Lin, and the small name is Daiyu. If you count it from your mother, it is still a little bit different from us." It's because of kinship."

Xue Pan's smile froze slowly, he looked at Baochai, then at Daiyu, then turned around to look at Liu Xianglian, Daiyu was still bowing her head, a little embarrassed, but Baochai was more open to Xue Pan. Pan smiled and said, "Brother, don't look outside anymore. Liu Xianglian and I didn't do that kind of thing. I like Daiyu from the Lin family." After saying this, he naturally took Daiyu's hand and said to her With a smile, Daiyu slowly raised her head and bowed slightly to Xue Pan.

Xue Pan said in a daze: "You...you...good sister, you are playing tricks on me again, right? I am stupid, once you lie to me, I will be fooled."

Baochai sighed and said, "Brother, don't deceive yourself. From the very beginning, I liked Lin Daiyu. When I come back this time, I just want to make it clear to you that I entrust you to help, not for anything else, just for... Tell mom not to be angry."

Xue Panwu said in a daze: "But you are two women..."

Daiyu raised her head slightly, and said in a soft voice: "Can't two women like each other? From ancient times to the present, there is no such reason."

Xue Pan was determined to persuade Baochai, but he himself was ignorant, so he thought through the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly, and finally choked out a few words: "Men are yang, women are yin, and the harmony of yin and yang is the right way of heaven. What's the point of two yin people together!"

Daiyu coughed, and Baochai said: "The ruler is Yang, and the minister is Yin. Uncle Lin is a minister of the emperor, and he is Yin. However, when he comes home, he is Yang to us. We can see that Yin and Yang have no eternity." Numbers, always changing, always new, Daiyu and I are two yin outside, if there are no other people, there is one yin and one yang, yin and yang blend together, even a sage can't pick out the etiquette - brother said, right?"

Xue Pan only felt that his sister was talking nonsense, but if he really wanted to refute, he couldn't find any basis for a while, so he could only stare at Baochai and said in a rough voice: "I don't care, father Passed away, as the eldest brother, I am just like my father, I forbid you to do such a thing, you send Sister Lin home quickly, and then go back with me to think about the past, mother, as long as you change from now on, .”

Baochai said with a smile: "Brother wants to deal with me like this, so he is not afraid... Am I obstructing your marriage with Zhang Jing?"

Xue Pan was startled, and immediately smiled and said: "She is already mine, Uncle Lin will definitely marry her to me, so you don't have to worry about it."

It was the first time Baochai and Daiyu heard him talk about it, they looked at each other, swallowed what they were going to say to Xue Pan, Baochai looked outside, and counted Xue Pan and the few people in front of him After dismissing them, the three of them stood in the main hall. Baochai glanced at Daiyu cautiously, then turned her head and said, "Brother...what did you do to make Uncle Lin agree to marry Zhang Jing to you?"

Xue Pan triumphantly raised his head and said, "Jing'er has my flesh and blood in her belly. For a person like Uncle Lin, who has a high reputation, what else can he do besides marrying her to me?"

Baochai and Daiyu were shocked, they both took a step forward, approached Xue Pan and said, "You...who came up with such a bad idea?"

Xue Pan said, "I figured it out myself."

Baochai asked, "When are you going to tell Uncle Lin about this? How is Uncle Lin doing recently?"

Xue Pan said: "I was going to talk about it a few days ago, but because Jing'er said that Uncle Lin was not in good health, she was afraid of angering him, so she kept procrastinating, but it was only a few days ago."

Chai and Dai looked at each other for a while, then Dai Yufang stomped her feet and said, "You didn't do this a long time ago. Now that you have children, you didn't tell Uncle Lin earlier. Why are you procrastinating? You are not harming me." People! It’s fine to harm others, I’m afraid it will delay our important affairs.” As he said, his eye circles were already red, and he refused to cry, so he had to dodge the handkerchief in Baochai’s hand with his hands. After wiping it a few times, he was full of resentment and stared at Xue Pan, looking again and again.
