[Red Mansion] Different Daiyu

Xue Baochai returned to Pear Fragrance Garden panting, and immediately made arrangements, and the situation stabilized after a while. She sat in front of Aunt Xue's bed, "Mother, mother, are you feeling better?"

The doctor has just seen it, prescribed medicine and is boiling on the stove.

Aunt Xue woke up leisurely, saw Baochai came back, took her daughter's hand and burst into tears, "My son, what crime did I do? I gave birth to such a bad thing. If I had known that I had given birth to him It's better to strangle him to death, save me from worrying about him now!"

What he said made Baochai's eyes red. Although Xue Pan was a bit of a jerk on weekdays, he was very kind to his mother and his sister. "Mother, don't be sad, how did you get to this point? I have already asked someone to call Xue Biao. It's okay. I'll go back and beg my aunt. She still owes our family so much money. She won't stand idly by." of."

Aunt Xue calmed down when she heard the words, "But will Xue Biao agree to help?" Years ago, Xue Biao sent his younger sister Xue Baoqin to Beijing to be married.

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "I can't write two characters of Xue in one stroke. Now that our family has suffered such a catastrophe, it is time to work together. There is only one thing. Mother is seeing Brother Xue Biao. Don't do that again!" In fact, Xue Baochai has no idea, Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin are two housewives, and the eldest and second house have always been at odds, plus the quarrel at the beginning.Originally, Xue Biao came to Beijing only to send his younger sister to get married, and wanted to live in the house of Xue's big family in the capital, but Aunt Xue insisted on not allowing it, and even scolded him out.

Xue Baochai was secretly worried, with Xue Biao's temper, it would be very difficult for him to step into the big house again.

Sure enough, the person sent to look for Xue Biao came back and reported: "At the beginning of last month, Miss Liu Er got married, and now Mei Hanlin's old mother has gone, and the whole family has returned to Jinling's original place to observe filial piety. Second Miss also went with her. , the second lady is pregnant for a month, the second master is worried about the second lady, and he also went back to Jinling. They rented a house in the capital, and now the rent has been refunded."

Aunt Xue was drinking the medicine, when she heard the words, she pushed the medicine bowl away, and the hot medicine poured on Xiangling's body, Xiangling's eyes were red with pain, but she didn't dare to say a word.Aunt Xue glared at her impatiently, grabbed Xue Baochai's hand and cried, "What can I do, your brother has never suffered so much!"

Xue Baochai bit her lip, "It's nothing, mother, you drink the medicine first, I'll go back and find my aunt right away."

At this moment, a group of yamen servants suddenly came outside the door, rushing in, "Who is Xiangling?"

The servants of the Xue family shouted: "Who are you, dare to run amok here!"

The yamen servants pushed away the servant, "I am the yamen servant of the Ministry of Punishment. Isn't there a man named Xiangling in your family? Where is he?"

Xue Baochai said softly through the window: "Hi, my husband's house is the Rongguo Mansion. I wonder what your lords are looking for with Xiangling? Is it related to my brother's matter?"

The leader of the yamen servant said angrily: "Is it possible to inquire about this? What about the Xiangling people? Let her come out!"

Xue Baochai blushed, turned her head and said, "Since that's the case, Xiangling should go out too. You have to remember that your deed of prostitution is still at Xue's house? You can figure out what to say and what not to say!"

Aunt Xue looked at Xiangling, got angry, pinched Xiangling several times, "It's all about you, it's all about you, if it wasn't for you, how could my son kill someone, my chai'er How can you be deprived of the small election qualification, it is you!"

Xiangling was in pain from being pinched, but she didn't dare to dodge, she only knew how to cry.

"Okay, mother, don't be like this. Our family is the kind of family that abuses its servants and makes people laugh when we tell it. Xiangling, the wife is only angry for a while, and it is not intentional. Don't take it to heart. If someone asks Come on, you know what to say, don't you?" Xue Baochai smiled and looked at Xiangling, the hint in his eyes was vague.

Xiang Ling lowered her head and didn't say a word.Xue Baochai pushed her out the door.

The leading yamen servant looked at Xiangling, "Raise your head."

Xiangling raised her head helplessly, the yamen servant sized her up for a while, then turned around and said a few words to her subordinates, nodded, confirming that it was correct, "Where's her deed of prostitution?"

Xue Baochai said through the window, "My lord, why do you want her deed of prostitution? Didn't the Ministry of Punishment send her over for questioning?"

"Hmph, to tell you the truth, she is the one who suffers in this case. Our lordship has already investigated clearly. Her surname is Zhen, and her family is in Gusu. I want to revoke her slave status and let her go home for reunion!" The yamen servant snorted coldly, if the Zhen family hadn't fallen, how could you, a business lady, compare to her!

Xiangling raised her head when she heard the words, "Is what you said true? Did my mother come here? I still have a mother, my surname is Zhen?"

The yamen servant gave her a sympathetic look, "Your real name is Zhen Yinglian. When you were three years old and went out to watch lanterns, you were kidnapped by a kidnapper. Your father has already become a monk, and your mother, Feng Shi, has been inquiring about you. That Jia Yucun, who was favored by your father, also recognized you when the case was judged, hmph! It's just...forget it, let's not talk about it, quickly bring her deed of prostitution, we will return Something is wrong!"

Xue Baochai had no choice but to find out Xiangling's deed of selling herself, and told Yinger to let go, "My lord, how is my brother now?"

The yamen servant looked at the contract of sale, and after confirming that it was correct, he took Xiangling away without paying any attention to Xue Baochai's words. Xue Baochai was anxious, but helpless.

Not to mention that Xiangling went with the yamen servants, and saw the gray-haired Feng Shi in a private house, Feng Shi recognized her daughter at a glance, mother and daughter both hugged and cried, later Xiangling lost her slave status, and kind people helped her He paid the mother and daughter a sum of money, and invited people from the Escort Bureau to escort the mother and daughter back to their hometowns.

And Xue Baochai returned to the Grand View Garden, thinking about how to tell Mrs. Wang about this matter. If Mrs. Wang really wanted to, it was impossible for her not to hear the big movement in Lixiangyuan just now, and there has been no movement at all until now.If it was normal, if Mother coughed, Auntie would send someone to ask.

Now this attitude is really intriguing.But if there is another way, Xue Baochai doesn't want to find Mrs. Wang either.Uncle is still out of town now, distant water cannot save near fire!Uncle Lin treats him indifferently, but as for Lin Daiyu, forget it.

Xue Baochai was thinking about it, and the group returned to Yihong Courtyard. Along the way, they found that the attitudes of the maids and women towards him were a little strange.She didn't care either, she was all focused on the Xue family's affairs now, so she didn't care about it.

After entering the door, she found that the maids who could be named were all standing upright. She was about to say something when Mrs. Wang's cold voice came, "Oh, the second grandma is finally willing to come back!"

Xue Baochai's heart skipped a beat, "Ma'am, why are you here when you are free? It should be the daughter-in-law who is going to greet you!"

"Hmph, if I don't come, I don't know what will happen to this Yihong Courtyard if I don't come! You are the second mistress and the main wife, and the main wife must be tolerant, Xiren and the others are Baoyu's aunts no matter what, Not to mention that she still has Baoyu's child in her stomach, and the concubine's concubine is pregnant, where is your main wife? Ah! Since you have married into the Jia family, you are the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, and there are fewer things about your mother's family. Take good care of Baoyu, Xiren, and Qingwen's babies is the most important thing." Mrs. Wang's call made Xue Baochai blush, she knew Mrs. Wang was dissatisfied with her, but she didn't expect Mrs. Wang He didn't give her any face at all, and shamed himself in front of so many servants.

"I also know about the Xue family. That brother of yours is a bottomless pit. Since the matter happened, he didn't do anything about it. I asked Zhou Rui's family to go to Lixiangyuan and ask about the situation. Zhou Rui will deal with the matter. It's so good, Second Mistress, can you stay in Yihong Court safely, in case something happens and you can't find the person in charge?" Mrs. Wang said with a sneer.

Xue Baochai blushed, but she felt much better in her heart. Mrs. Wang said that she would accept the matter of Xue's family, and that would be fine. It's okay to be wronged.

"Hmph, now I don't count on you anymore. I will leave the care of Baoyu and Yihong Courtyard to Sheyue, and the housekeeper to Sanya. You can stay in the house and copy Buddhist scriptures for me. May Baoyu be in good health, and the child be safe and healthy." After leaving these words, Mrs. Wang left with her.

The maids also dispersed, leaving only Xue Baochai and Yinger kneeling on the ground.It took a long time for Xue Baochai to regain her gentle and approachable appearance, and stood up holding Ying'er's hand.

As long as Mrs. Wang can help Xue's family, let alone copying Buddhist scriptures, she can do anything.Xue Baochai knelt in front of the Bodhisattva, praying devoutly, hoping that the Bodhisattva would bless her brother, and the Xue family could survive this disaster safely.

But she miscalculated Mrs. Wang, is Mrs. Wang so kind?It's true that she sent Zhou Rui's family to Lixiangyuan.After Zhou Rui went like this, he took the 10 taels silver note from Aunt Xue and returned to Mrs. Wang. Madam Wang looked at the silver note, smiled triumphantly, and then took out a 1000 taels silver note , "This is yours. In a few days, you go there again and say that the money has been settled. Then, you know."

Zhou Rui's family listened respectfully, but they didn't dare to reach out to take the bank note, "It's right to do things for the wife, how dare the servants ask for rewards, the wife has beaten the slaves!" A joke, the money of the second wife is easy to get ?After taking 1000 taels, you have to spit out at least 1 taels.What's more, Aunt Xue is her own sister. Although she is not of the same mother, Xue Pan is her own nephew. She is so cruel that she stands by and stands by, taking the opportunity to seize the property of the Xue family. Mrs.Although Jia's mansion is not as good as it used to be now, it is still easy for her to kill someone like this.

Mrs. Wang smiled, and put the banknotes back into the box without forcing her, "My good sister, she still has a lot of silver in her hand, so let me just say, with Xue Pan who is not up to date, how could she Don't leave any money with you!"

Zhou Rui's family laughed along, not daring to say anything more, and a few days later, Zhou Rui's family went to Lixiangyuan again, and took away a sum of money for another reason.

In this way, without Xue Baochai's knowledge and Aunt Xue's confusion, Mrs. Wang emptied the last bit of furniture in the Xue family.
