[Red Mansion+Qing Chuan] Eldest sister can't help

Xue Fu

Since Xue Pan reached the age of talking about marriage, in order not to let others gossip, Aunt Xue, under the advice of Jia Mu, ordered her house in Beijing to be tidied up and moved out one year before the Chinese New Year.

When the Xue family purchased this mansion, it was still at the peak of the Xue family, so they naturally picked out everything. Although it was only for the master of the Xue family to live in Beijing occasionally, it was also a spacious mansion with three entrances and three exits. The location is also good, even two streets away, it is the street where the royal family lives.It is only a short time before and after Si Age's Prince Yong's Mansion.

Probably because of this, since Xue Pan moved here, his style of behavior has become a little restrained.Although he is stupid, he also knows that if he bumps into a random person around here, it is very likely that he will not be able to offend him.For this reason, Aunt Xue gave Amitabha some advice, and even Xue Baochai felt much more relieved.When they first moved here, they were really worried. It was close to the place where the royal family lived. Xue Pan had a reckless temper.

However, although Xue Pan restrained himself at home, he did not stay at home every day, and went outside in the name of inspecting the shop, blindly hanging out with Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang and others from Ningguo Mansion, going in and out. The fireworks site is full of gold every day.

Aunt Xue became more obedient because Xue Pan was at home, and she only gave him a few symbolic instructions when he went out, and then she didn't care anymore.What worries her now is her daughter's marriage.

Since Aunt Xue went to Mrs. Wang's place yesterday, she had no success in asking for an explanation, so when she returned home, she was naturally in a bad mood.Xue Pan went out early this morning.When Aunt Xue arrived at Xue Baochai's yard, she saw her sitting on the kang with wet spots on her face. When she saw her coming, she hurriedly wiped it off with a handkerchief.Seeing her daughter like this, Aunt Xue was also very sad, so she hugged Baochai and wept bitterly. After persuasion from the girls, she finally stopped.

The eyes of the two were red. Aunt Xue held Xue Baochai in her arms, sighed faintly, and said, "Chaier, I'm sorry for your mother. If you didn't think that you and Baoyu could form a pair, you would be able to marry Baoyu in the future." Help your brother who doesn't compete, and your aunt has sworn to promise that you don't have to wait for so many years, and spend all your good years in it." As she spoke, she was about to cry.

"Mom, what are you talking about? This is all voluntary by my daughter. If I want to say it, I can only say that my daughter's life is suffering." Because of crying, Xue Baochai's eyes were red and swollen, and the brows were also very haggard, and she said with a choked voice.

Seeing this, Aunt Xue's eyes were red again, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Chaier, don't worry. Your aunt said that when Baoyu and the Lin family get sick... the girl will marry you, and she will carry you there as a wife. I'm a bit inferior to the girl of the Lin family, but the child you will give birth to in the future will also be a descendant. That girl Lin is very sick, whether she will be able to give birth to a child in the future is another matter. In the future, everything in the Jia family will not be inherited by your son, but now I have to be wronged." Her Baochai was so outstanding, how many times better than that delicate Lin girl?It's just not as good as Lin Yatou has a father who is a high-ranking official and a sister who is the prince Fujin.

Hearing this, Xue Baochai's tears welled up in her eyes, and she said, "Mom, how can you still listen to what your aunt said? As long as she can answer what she says, now... now my daughter will not be delayed until now." Since my aunt can't do it, why bother to hang on to Baoyu? Let her daughter wait year after year. In the coming year, her daughter will be 16. She is already an old girl. How can she have time to wait? Miss Lin is only [-] now It is a very good time, and Uncle Lin does not want to let her go, so he will definitely keep her for another year. Besides, the Lin family will definitely not be willing to do so? With Uncle Lin and Shiwu Fujin here, how can Auntie get away with it? But... how will my daughter deal with herself then? I have to find a rope and hang myself to save the family from losing face."

Xue Baochai is a smart man.Since Baoyu can't do it here, she naturally has to find another way.What's more, her age can't allow her to wait any longer. In the past year, she will be [-]. If she doesn't marry at this age, she will be an old girl.No matter how good she is, at this age, people have to talk about whether she has some hidden disease that dragged her to such an age?Could it be that she really wants to stay at home and be an old aunt for the rest of her life, or wait for Mrs. Wang's illusory promise that she doesn't know how long it will be fulfilled?

Aunt Xue couldn't help getting wet eyes when she heard the words, but she knew that what her daughter said was true. Although her sister promised herself, would she not be able to do it in the future?Besides, with the prince Fujin, the eldest girl of the Lin family, how dare the Jia family refute her meaning?If it is said that the fourth elder brother will ascend the throne in the future, we can talk about Yuan Chun's concubine, but who can say this kind of thing accurately?If we really wait until Yuanchun decides, how old will Chai'er be?Where can I wait so fast?However, if Baoyu is given up, Chai'er is already at such an age, and the children of the family who are about the same age as her must have already married wives. Look down upon.

At this time, the maid outside announced, and Xue Pan lifted the curtain and came in, smelling of alcohol all over his body, his face was still flushed, and seeing that Baochai and Aunt Xue had tears on their faces, he was furious: "Who is that?" Make the girl and wife unhappy? Don’t kill me, right?” He turned to comfort Aunt Xue and said, “Mom, the girl at home is disobedient, so don’t worry about it? Sell it and buy a new one.”

When Aunt Xue saw Xue Pan, she was angry in her heart, and was about to curse, but when she saw him say that later, she lost her anger for three minutes, and turned her head to order Tongfu to cook sober soup, saying: "You go out again Drinking, and being with those bastards every day, what can you do? If you just make progress, how can your sister be so tired?" As she spoke, tears fell again.

When Xue Baochai saw Aunt Xue was like this, she also sobbed and began to cry.

Although Xue Pan is an asshole, he still has some sincerity towards his mother and sister, and he would never see Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai cry the most on weekdays. Seeing this, he panicked immediately, scratched his head and said, "Mom, sister, you Don't cry. If you don't like me drinking, I will just go out less in the future."

Xue Pan made a good promise, which made Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai cry.Under the service of the maids, after drinking Zhenjing tea, the mother and daughter turned around.

And after Xue Pan knew why Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were crying?Immediately, she clamored to settle accounts with Mrs. Wang, but was stopped by Aunt Xue.

"Nie Zhan, don't you think that your sister has not received enough gossip? Do you want everyone to know that your sister is despised by rushing out like this?" Aunt Xue said angrily. .

Xue Pan originally said that he was going to settle accounts with Mrs. Wang when he was drunk for a while, but when Aunt Xue said this, his breath was shortened by three points. He sat down and poured a cup of tea: "I As I said a long time ago, my aunt is unreliable. Do you have to make a good match? According to me, during the scientific examination, find a younger sister who is motivated. With my uncle and I backing my sister up, my sister will have a happy life when the time comes. You insist on hanging on Brother Bao? How is it now? My sister has survived at such an age, but nothing is going to happen?"

When Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai heard what Xue Pan said, they were immediately amazed, especially Xue Baochai looked at Xue Pan, which was simply strange, because what Xue Pan just said happened to hit her heart now thought.

"How is this possible? Although our family is not as noble as your aunt's, it is a duke's family, but it is also one of the four major families. How can your sister, Miss Qianjin, marry such a poor family?" Aunt Xue immediately objected. .

Xue Pan blurted out: "My younger sister is an old lady now, even such a family may not be willing to marry my younger sister." After finishing speaking, seeing Xue Baochai's pale face, Xue Pan regretted it, and said to Xue Baochai: " Sister, don't mind. Brother made a slip of the tongue for a while, it wasn't on purpose. I hope my sister won't take offense!" He made a long song to Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai felt a fleeting sense of shame about what Xue Pan said just now, but she didn't mind much in her heart. She shook her head, and a bitter smile still appeared on the corner of her mouth: "It's okay. Brother is just telling the truth." If it was in the past, how could she consider marrying those poor children? Although what my brother said just now was ugly, but he was right, so what if she is both talented and beautiful?At this age, how can there be a good family?

"My son, it's because I, a mother, have no skills...I..." Aunt Xue immediately rolled down her tears when she heard this, and said in a broken voice.

Xue Baochai and Xue Pan naturally comforted Aunt Xue a lot.

When Aunt Xue stopped crying, she thought of what Xue Pan said just now, and asked: "Pan'er, let me ask you, who did you hear what you said just now?" She still understands her own son. Yes, it is absolutely impossible to say that.Although she refuted fiercely, she actually agreed in her heart, because seeing that there was no news from Baoyu, and Chai'er was getting older every year, she couldn't wait any longer.Last night, she tossed and turned, thinking for nearly a night, before she came to this result.It's just that she knows that her daughter has always been self-sufficient, both talented and beautiful, and has a high temperament, and she is afraid that her daughter will disagree, so she has not spoken for a long time.Now that the son said it, and the daughter didn't show any objection on her face, that's why I repeated the old story.

"He said that when Brother Zhen and I were having a drink today. He said that when he went to see Uncle Jing the other day, Uncle Jing suddenly told him about Sister Xichun. He only said that he would wait until Sister Xichun was drafted. The second year after that happened to be the year of the imperial examination. Sister Xichun was also at the right age at that time. She chose the talented and motivated one, and that was all she had to do. There was no need to choose the high-ranking student, and there was no need to let Xichun My younger sister is not comfortable getting married." Xue Pan confessed.

Xue Baochai was silent for a while: "Although Uncle Jing has been in the Taoist temple for many years, I don't want to think about Sister Xichun so much in my heart, and make plans for her." Suddenly it occurred to her that if her father was still there, why would she have to plan everything.

Aunt Xue looked at her daughter's expression, how could she not know what she was thinking?His eyes were hot, tears were about to flow down again, he managed to hold back, and said: "Uncle Jing is a serious Jinshi, since he planned this for Xichun, it must be a good way. Pan'er, you these days If we go out again, we will take the opportunity to inquire about those students who came to Beijing to take the exam, and pick out the good ones."

"Understood. Mom, don't worry. I will definitely not wrong my sister." Xue Pan patted his chest and said with assurance.

"You must not gossip about this matter, so as not to damage your sister's reputation." Aunt Xue hadn't given up on Jia Baoyu's side in her heart, so she told Xue Pan after thinking about it.

Xue Pan said: "Mom, don't worry! I know."

Xue Baochai listened from the sidelines, and interjected: "Brother, if you have nothing to do, you can go to Uncle's place more often. Although Uncle was a little angry a few days ago, we are blood relatives after all, and the anger is only temporary. If Brother has If you don’t understand anything, you can go to your uncle to ask for it. Uncle has a high position and authority, and he must know more people and the world than we do.” When he said this, Xue Baochai’s cheeks were slightly flushed, after all, It's a girl's house. When it comes to this topic, it's inevitable that I'm a little shy.

Xue Pan was a little displeased: "Uncle manages a lot of things every day, but he just asks for information. I'm fine on my own, so why bother Uncle?" He didn't hear the meaning of Xue Baochai's words, he He is very serious about Wang Ziteng, he will admonish his uncle whenever he gets the chance, and he has always kept his uncle at a respectful distance. Now that he is asked to get closer to him, how could he be willing?

Seeing Xue Pan's expression, Xue Baochai knew that he was not happy, but how could she directly name such a thing, so she had to look at Aunt Xue. Although Aunt Xue was not firm, she still had a wink. She understood instantly.She reached out and tapped Xue Pan's forehead, and said: "What your sister means is that the candidates you have investigated should be reviewed by your uncle. He has a wide range of knowledge, and this is to make him look good."

Only then did Xue Pan show a dazed look, and said to Xue Baochai: "Sister, you just ask your uncle to check it out for you, and what you say is so obtrusive, I can't understand it." He patted his chest: " Don't worry, hug me." Although he doesn't like to deal with his uncle, he also knows the seriousness of the matter, and it is a matter of life for his sister, so he should be cautious.

Having said that, Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue showed a smile on their faces.

Not long after Xue Pan went out, Yinger, who was next to Xue Baochai, came over and reported to Jiamu that she had asked Sanchun sisters to go to the Zhuangzi outside the city together.

"Chai'er, what do you think this old lady is paying attention to? Why did she let Tanchun and the others go to Zhuangzi for no reason?" Aunt Xue had too much opinion of Jia Mu, and even felt a little bit of resentment.If she hadn't always disliked Baochai, thinking that she was not worthy of Baoyu no matter her age or status, and thus had never let go of Baochai and Baoyu's marriage, how could her Baochai have been wasted to her present age.Her Baochai has long been the second grandmother of Rongguo Mansion.

After hearing this, Baochai suddenly had a thought in his mind, and a gleam of understanding flashed in his eyes. He wandered around and asked Aunt Xue: "Mom, I remember that our family has a Zhuangzi outside the city?"

Aunt Xue nodded: "Yes! But why did you suddenly think of asking this, Chai Er?"

"When I came back from my aunt's house yesterday, I overheard her servants talking badly, saying that the old lady sent someone to the Lin's house to pick up Miss Lin to stay here for two days. Fifteenth Fujin went to Wenquan Zhuangzi. Although I don’t know why the old lady wanted Tanchun and the others to follow? But it must not be a good thing?” Turning her head to Ying’er, she said: “Ying’er, ask someone to prepare the car In addition, go and collect the things you have in hand, and I will go to Zhuangzi for a short stay for two days." No matter what idea Jiamu has?What do you want to do?She will definitely not let her succeed.

Dare to despise her...
