The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Xue Pan was beaten up by someone in Hualou, and passed out from the pain on the way. When he woke up, he saw his mother and sister crying at him, and his eyes were red for a while.

Aunt Xue saw him awake immediately, and hurriedly said, "My son! How do you feel? Does it hurt?"

Xue Pan said aggrievedly: "My whole body hurts."

Aunt Xue said: "Don't move, I just invited a doctor to come and see that you have broken four ribs." Then she wiped away her tears, "You actually broke even the bones, who is so cruel to do this. "

Xue Pan groaned in his heart, no wonder the pain was so severe, those slaves were really not afraid to beat him to death.

Another Baochai wiped away tears and said, "Every day I advise you not to go out and mess around, but you just don't listen, and now you have come back after suffering such a big loss."

Aunt Xue said again: "Your aunt has sent for the imperial physician, please bear with it."

When Xue Pan heard the word "aunt", he immediately remembered what the assailant said, and he didn't even notice the pain.He hurriedly looked up and looked around, and said: "Mother, let everyone else go out."

Aunt Xue was taken aback.

But Baochai, seeing her brother's serious expression, stood up hurriedly and ordered everyone below to go outside.

Seeing that the door was closed, Xue Pan asked in a low voice, "Mother, tell me the truth, how much money did you lend to my aunt?"

Aunt Xue was shocked: "My son! How do you know."

Xue Pan said, "You just tell me how much you lent her."

Aunt Xue said: "The big ones are 60 taels in total, and there are some small ones."

Xue Baochai exclaimed: "So many!"

It shows that those people's words are not false.Xue Pan closed his eyes heavily.

Aunt Xue said awkwardly: "Because she had to pay back the money from the treasury to pave the future for the eldest girl... and later she had to pay back the public account owed."

Xue Pan sarcastically said: "The maidens of every family outside are preparing to visit their relatives, what kind of lady is her eldest girl?"

Baochai sighed: "Mother is confused, she can't touch a penny now, what can she give us back?"

Aunt Xue hurriedly said: "Anyway, we have left a note of IOU and pressed our fingerprints. We will have to pay it back sooner or later. Besides, there is also the old lady. Both the old lady and your uncle are shameless people."

Baochai said: "What does the old lady have to do with it? Could it be that the old lady will pay back the money for her?"

Aunt Xue just looked at her with a smile and said nothing.

After half a day, Xue Pan sighed softly and asked, "Did mother betroth my younger sister to Baoyu?"

After saying a word, Baochai blushed immediately: "What did you say, brother?"

Aunt Xue glanced at her daughter and said angrily, "How could you just say that in front of your sister."

Xue Pan sneered, "Is that true?"

Aunt Xue said: "I know that you are usually unhappy to see that everyone likes Baoyu, but this child is really good, he is kind to girls, and he is willing to study and make progress..."

Xue Pan raised his head to see his sister's face flushed with embarrassment, and thought of the "golden and jade marriage" that he usually heard people say. I'm afraid the girl was tempted, and secretly complained, and sneered: "Baoyu is promiscuous everywhere. The children are all good, even the fans are good, but in the future, they don’t know how many concubines they want to marry, and how many men and women here. Besides, it seems that the uncle and the old lady don’t know about this matter?”

Aunt Xue was about to say something about him when she saw him speak harshly at first, but she was dumbfounded when she heard it.

"She didn't count what she said, but she will deny it in the future? If our family's money is in vain, wouldn't my sister's life be delayed?"

Aunt Xue was stunned, and said for a long time: "It's just... your aunt is his biological mother after all... We also wrote down the paperwork."

Xue Pan snorted and said, "Uncle is still his biological father, what use is the paperwork she wrote. The corrupt name of the second wife of Rongguo Mansion has already spread half of the capital, I'm afraid our hundreds of thousands of silver will not come back. .”

Aunt Xue hurriedly said: "No matter how bad it is, your uncle will uphold justice!"

Xue Pan shook his head.

After a long silence, Baochai asked, "What's the matter, brother?"

Xue Pan said "Ouch", and told his mother and sister how he was retaliated against and what he heard from those people.

Aunt Xue, mother and daughter both turned into clay bodhisattvas, unable to move for half a day.

Xue Pan sighed: "I have always regarded myself as a person, but I didn't expect to have become a 'nothing'. In the past, 'nothing' was still relying on the name of their house."

After a long while, Aunt Xue said: "Fortunately, they treat you as a no-brainer, otherwise I'm afraid you will be murdered. You are not allowed to go outside to cause trouble again in the future."

Xue Pan smiled wryly and said: "Mother, I don't want to cause trouble, I'm just afraid that people will come to provoke us. It's a big fat sheep. Didn't you hear all kinds of gossip spread all over the capital?" Because he said bitterly, "I'm fine. The girl let those slut fans talk about it for fun."

Baochai immediately shed tears.

Aunt Xue scolded those slave fans for a long time, and then said: "Let your aunt go and find out which bitch in her room who doesn't have a long mouth is talking nonsense outside, find it and beat him to death!"

Baochai wiped her tears and said: "Not to mention whether it can be found out, so what if it is found out? Today is different from the past, there are only a few people left around her, and she will not be willing to send it out at will."

Aunt Xue quickly said: "What is a slave? Your aunt loves you the most!"

Baochai just lowered her head and wiped her tears, but said nothing.Xue Pan was also silent.

Aunt Xue lost her mind for a while, and said after a long time: "Then what should we do! Your aunt has really lost power in this mansion now."

Baochai thought for a while and said, "We still have uncle."

Aunt Xue hurriedly said, "That's right! Let's move to your uncle's house!"

Baochai said: "Mother, don't worry. How can I just move for no reason? My brother is injured again. There must be a safe excuse."

The two of them, mother and daughter, discussed it.

Xue Pan had mixed feelings beside him, and burst into tears.Although Aunt Xue was discussing matters with her daughter, she kept her eyes on him all the time, she was frightened and asked: "Son, but where does it hurt so badly?" He also scolded Mrs. Wang for not being able to invite the imperial physician for half a day.

Xue Pan said with tears: "Father is gone, I am the only man in the family, but now even the slaves of who knows which family know that I am incompetent. I can't be filial to my mother and love my sister so much. Instead, I teach you two to do it every day. I'm worried, I'm really worse than a beast."

Without saying a word, the three of them hugged each other and cried.

After a while, the imperial doctor finally came. After looking at it for a long time, he said that there was no serious problem and no internal organs were hurt.Broken ribs are easy to give birth to, and it's okay, as long as he can't move around.Aunt Xue, mother and daughter cried again when they heard about it.Because he sent someone to sue the officer.It's just that, as the beating man said, there is no film about Rongguo Mansion, only Jia Zheng's film.

Not long after, Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu sent people to visit him. Jia Lian and Jia Cong Baoyu all came to see him in person.Xue Pan used to be a fool, but now that he has suffered such a cruel loss, he is lying on the bed unable to move, no matter how stupid he is, he has learned to use his brain.The fact that Jia Amnesty never sent someone here meant that the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion was not prepared to support the Xue family.

When Wang Ziteng heard that he had come to see him, he scolded him again.

Xue Pan smiled wryly and said, "What uncle said is true, I only wish I hadn't listened to uncle earlier."

Wang Ziteng was taken aback, thinking he heard it wrong!Ask Aunt Xue: "Is this really Pan'er?"

Aunt Xue said with tears in her eyes, "Brother, Pan'er has really suffered a great loss." As she signaled the people in the room to go out, she whispered what Xue Pan had heard.

Wang Ziteng was silent for a long time after hearing the words, and said: "I'm afraid it's someone with a history." He sighed again, "I said earlier that Pan'er's unscrupulousness would definitely cause trouble, and everyone in the capital could be in trouble. Fortunately, the injuries this time were not serious. "

Aunt Xue hurriedly asked: "Look, brother, who is the person who acted so boldly?"

Prince Teng snorted and said, "Do you think this is Jinling? There are so many dandies in Beijing, any high official, son of a prince, or the family of a concubine or concubine would dare to do so. Only Pan'er, a fool, is as if he has no bridle. He was reckless like a horse and refused to restrain himself. Listening to these words, if those slaves really beat him to death, there is nothing we can do if we don’t keep them together.”

Aunt Xue was shocked: "Then there is no Wang Fa!"

Wang Ziteng sneered and said, "It's just that whoever has the most powerful family is justified. If he killed that Feng or something that day, he will have the king's law?"

Aunt Xue was at a loss for words.

Prince Teng Nai said: "After suffering this loss, it is a good thing to be able to grow a little heart. Otherwise, if Bao Buqi offends someone who can't be offended one day, I'm afraid they will be beaten to death."

Aunt Xue was unwilling and had no choice but to hold him to tears.Wang Ziteng comforted her and left for half a day.

After waiting for more than ten days, the soldiers and horses of the five cities did not move at all.Aunt Xue is in a hurry and is going to find Mrs. Wang.Baochai hurriedly said, "I'm afraid Auntie can't do anything about it. Let's go and find out first."

So people sent some money to the yamen.The yamen servant said: "Little brother, how to investigate the case without even a thread? Tell your master, but ordinary people can bear it if there is no big problem. It's just a big idea and a small loss. It's not dead or dead." Cruel. People who dare to do something must not be afraid of ordinary people. Even if you find out, I’m afraid you will be helpless. Why bother to make us waste so much effort, the blind man is wasting money."

Aunt Xue sighed after hearing the words: "Your aunt really can't do anything."

Xue Baochai thought for a long time, and said: "It's nothing more than what happened to my brother... If there is a lawsuit with someone in business in the future, I'm afraid it will become even more hopeless. Let's move to my uncle's house."

Aunt Xue hesitated and said, "It's just your marriage with Baoyu..."

Baochai turned her head away in embarrassment: "Mom!"

Xue Pan said: "Now that the Rongguo Mansion obviously has nothing to do with the second wife, is it true that we are going to marry my younger sister? I'll see and try to get the money back."

Aunt Xue couldn't think of a way after much deliberation.

Half a day later, Xue Pan snorted and said, "Mother is always soft-skinned. If she doesn't pay back the money, I'll ask for it."

Aunt Xue hurriedly said: "You are not allowed to mess around, she is your own aunt, she is not very good now, who knows if there will be a turnaround in the future? Just wait a few days."

Xue Pan's anxious eyes were like copper bells, and he yelled: "There's a bullshit turning around! In my opinion, she just wailed every day and no one listened to her. I've got our more than 60 silver for nothing, so why don't I pay for it?" My sister can't make it? There is no such cheapness in the world, even if she doesn't pay it back, the old lady has to pay it back for her!"

Baochai said: "Brother, don't worry. We can't afford to offend my aunt at this moment. Now it's important to discuss with uncle about moving there. We can discuss everything else later."

Xue Pan said angrily: "The money will fly after you let it go." He was speechless because of his anger.

Aunt Xue discussed with Baochai for a long time but couldn't come up with a charter, so she had to go to Wang's house to discuss with Wang Ziteng about moving there.Excuses are also ready-made, Xue Pan has suffered such a big loss this time, it is all because of being too stubborn and ignorant, someone needs to discipline him, there is no one else except Wang Ziteng.Mrs. Wang said that Jia Zheng should take care of him. Aunt Xue sighed, "Sister, my brother-in-law is a scholar. How can I take care of Pan'er?" Mrs. Wang was at a loss for words.

Because it was widely rumored that Xue Pan had offended nobles, few people came to see him while he was recovering from his injuries, and even if his cronies came to the door, Aunt Xue stopped them.Jia Lian has been busy with official duties recently, and Baoyu is busy with his studies, but Jia Cong often comes to hang around him, and the two brothers talk to relieve boredom.

Xue Pan sighed, "Brother Cong, we don't see each other much on weekdays, so it's no wonder you still miss me."

Jia Cong couldn't tell him that he was here to see the house... so he could only say: "Because brother Xue and I are generally impatient, I know how aggrieved it is for a person with such a temper to lie on the kang and not be able to move."

Xue Pan smiled and said, "Treat me well, I will take you out to play every day."

Jia Cong quickly waved his hands: "No, I don't have that much skill. Anyway, someone will play with you at that time. I have to learn martial arts and study, so I am very busy."

Xue Pan said disappointedly, "It's boring."

Jia Cong glanced at him: "I'm not you, your family has a great career, as long as you don't cause a big disaster, you can be a dandy. Sooner or later, the family will be divided in the mansion. I have nothing. I don't rely on myself but on someone else." .”

Xue Pan was stunned: "Separation? How dare you think of separating?"

Jia Cong laughed and said, "Could it be that this mansion is mine regardless of family separation? Besides, I have a sister who is not favored. My sister treats me very well, but my father and second brother think she is ordinary. If I don't make progress , my sister is still not sure how she will live in the future."

Xue Pan got angry when he heard Jia Amnesty, and said sarcastically, "Second Miss, you are in charge of me anyway, what's the matter with you? Isn't your father in charge of Rongguo Mansion now?"

Jia Cong glanced at him unhappily: "Mo Yinyang is weird, what do you mean by domination? Brother Xue, you don't have enough books, so I don't want to lie to you. Domination means that you should not be the one to control yourself. Isn’t the power of the state government wrong? This Rongguo Mansion is not his, is it the second uncle’s? Don’t forget that I am the one who took over the title. This is the court’s law. Control it. If I hadn't been kind-hearted at that time, and I really wanted brotherhood, I would have separated the family and sent my second uncle out on the day I took over the title. As a petty official from the fifth rank, would he still want to live a good life now? Some people are shameless, take favors as what others owe them, and want to seek others' things without being satisfied. If he didn't push his inch and do too much, can I punish him like this? Tigers don't show their power, when Is my father a sick cat? My father used to be too lazy to take care of him. You see, as soon as my father made a move, Second Uncle immediately froze, and he didn't even have the strength to fight back."

Everything he said made sense, Xue Pan was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to say embarrassingly: "It's just that they are brothers..."

Jia Cong said: "That's right. Didn't my father 'permit' him to stay in this mansion for the sake of my brother? But he still lives in Rongxi Hall shamelessly."

Xue Pan hurriedly said, "That's what the old lady meant."

Jia Cong said: "Follow the father at home, obey the husband when married, and obey the son when the husband dies. From the day she married into this mansion, until now, the old lady has never been the one who has the final say in Rongguo Mansion. My father used to It's just out of filial piety and not to care about her. She, like the second uncle, takes my father's tolerance for granted. People's patience will always run out one day. She wants to seek my father's title for the second uncle. No matter how stupid and filial father is, he can't bear it."

Xue Pan was taken aback: "Nonsense! How can this happen!"

Jia Cong hurriedly said: "I was wrong. I was seeking my elder brother's title for elder Baoyu. In fact, it is still the same."

Xue Pan thought about it, everyone knows that Shi Taijun really dotes on Baoyu. Although she also loves Jia Lian, she can't compare with Baoyu.Can't help fighting a cold war.It's no wonder that their first room was trying their best not to tear up the net with the second room, and co-authored with the second room to hit the root of the family.Looking at it this way, Erfang will be kicked out of Rongguo Mansion sooner or later, so it's better for my family to get out earlier.

After a while, he suddenly asked: "In your opinion, who is in charge of Baoyu's marriage?"

Jia Cong immediately said: "Second Uncle, others can persuade you, but he doesn't have to listen. Is Big Brother Xue thinking whether the marriage between Sister Xue and Brother Baoyu counts?"

Xue Pan sneered, "You know."

Jia Cong said: "The story of Jin Yu's good fate has already spread to the next-door East Mansion. Probably only the second uncle in the whole house doesn't know. It's just that I don't think it's reliable. This kind of thing is not about whoever has the loudest voice." It's up to you. The second uncle doesn't like the second aunt very much, and the old lady doesn't like sister Xue, so I'm afraid this marriage will be difficult."

Xue Pan said angrily: "The old lady doesn't like my sister? What's wrong with my sister?"

Jia Cong said coolly: "She is the second wife's niece, it's not good here."

Xue Pan was stunned: "Isn't it good to kiss?"

Jia Cong said: "The old ancestor likes Brother Baoyu, and he wholeheartedly seeks my brother's title for him so that Brother Baoyu can take care of her in the future. After all, Brother Baoyu is also filial. Or the Shi family sister, then it would be good to have more relatives. If it is the Xue family sister, or the Wang family sister, it is not good, it is better to find someone you don't know, it is better than the daughter-in-law and grand-daughter-in-law in the inner house, isn't it? "

Where did Xue Pan want to get to this level?I couldn't help being stunned, and said for a long time: "There are other things..."

Jia Cong looked at him with contempt: "Brother Xue, you are as stupid as Brother Baoyu!"

Xue Pan thought about it carefully for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "It's not just me, my mother is also generally a fool."

After Xue Pan recovered from his injury, Xue's family moved to live in Wang's family. Mrs. Wang couldn't stay, so she had to send her out of the gate with tears in her eyes.

Little did they know that the front foot of the Xue family had just left the courtyard, and the sedan chair that Aunt Xue was waiting for was still slowly being carried away in the Rongguo Mansion. The gate of the Lixiangyuan was not closed at all, and a large group of cleaning servants came in. It was cleaned up very quickly.Then a large group of people poured in, and Jia Cong personally led the way, pointing out: "Move this one, move that one there..." Most of these were big and round young men, and there were so many people that they moved very quickly.When Mrs. Wang was still laboring and waving outside the Yimen Gate, many things had already been moved in.Mrs. Wang went back to her own yard and wiped her tears to express her grievances to Jin Chuan'er. The large items in Lixiangyuan had been placed, and seven or eight women came in to clean them up carefully.Then bed curtains, decorations and other various items were added one by one. Because no one reported, when Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu were still thinking about the Xue family that had just left, Jia Cong moved into Lixiangyuan very neatly.
