Aunt Xue of the Red Chamber is not easy to mess with

Cui Ziyan looked at the man huddled in the corner and snorted coldly, and said: "Let's go." He ignored Lin Xuan who was still in a daze, and pulled him over.

"Sir, don't you really need to worry about Xuecheng?" Lin Xuan felt that it was not good to just leave like this. If he was still here for an hour in this cold weather, he would have to catch a cold when he went back.

"He doesn't need you to worry about it." Cui Ziyan rolled his eyes angrily, then looked at the direction the lady left, with a smile in his eyes, and said: "You have seen the lady before, it is not unreasonable It is no secret in Jinling City that Xue Cheng dotes on concubines and kills wives."

He really appreciates this madam's temper. If his mother had half the toughness of this madam back then, she would not have lost her life in vain. His mother was framed to death, but he couldn't avenge her. He was accused of unfilial piety under the infamy, but he will never be an official again in this life. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is notorious.

Lin Xuan glanced at the gentleman's dark eyes, pursed his lips, he knew that the gentleman might think of his aunt again, so he had to force himself to bring up a topic, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the madam also has some connections with the Lin family. "

Cui Ziyan looked at it suspiciously, only to hear Lin Xuan say again: "The ancestral home of Lin Ruhai, a former detective, is Gusu. He was separated from his family when he was born, and worked with him. Later, he was named a marquis. To set up a family tree, it is just that the fallen leaves must return to their roots, and they will still be buried in the ancestral grave in Gusu." Cui Ziyan nodded, only to hear Lin Xuan say again: "Their family has always been small, and they are not very close relatives of the family. Therefore, there is not much contact, Lin Ruhai married a daughter of the Duke of Rongguo, and Mrs. Xue's sister is the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion."

"So that's it." Cui Ziyan didn't say much anymore, he still doesn't know what the situation of the Rongguo Mansion is like now, since Jia Daishan's death, there are not many people in their mansion who can stand up for the family.

But after Wang Wan found someone to join Xue Cheng for a meal, she was in a particularly cheerful mood, and her walk was windy. She returned to Yongfu Hall happily, and was waited on by someone to change her clothes and freshen up. Only then did she sit comfortably on the imperial concubine's couch, holding a piece of rose cake and chewing slowly.

Qiaozhu looked at Wang Wan's happy expression, but her heart was beating like it was about to jump out of her heart, and her fingers were trembling a little, she drove the little girl out, and then said with trembling lips: "Madam, then pill……"

Wang Wan happily rolled her eyes, waved her hands, and said, "Don't worry, no one can die." She just wanted to teach this man a lesson, she wasn't vicious enough to kill, but just thinking about Wang Wan Thinking of Coke, he blinked his eyes and said slyly: "The pill is just to make the stuff under him hard for a month."

Only then did Qiaozhu feel relieved, she twitched the corners of her mouth, seeing his wife's happy face, she didn't know what to say.

Xue Cheng was carried back by Ping An and the others, yelling and yelling so miserable, Wang Wan looked at Xue Cheng's pig-headed appearance for a while, and then forced herself to look serious, and hurriedly said: "This What's going on? It was fine when I went out in the morning, so what happened now!" Pointing to Ping An and the others, he said, "How did you serve the servants? The master has become like this!"

Ping An and the others looked at each other hurriedly, and said, "Madam, please make amends!" They pleaded guilty, and then explained in detail, Wang Wan frowned and said, "Master, has anyone offended you recently?" ?” She glanced at Ping An, and the boy was quite obedient, and hurriedly kowtowed and said: “Returning to Madam, the master took over the two silver buildings on the other side of the Drum Tower a few days ago, and the master was not very good with him.”

Wang Wan frowned, and said: "On weekdays, when the master does business, he must offend some people. You should wake up in shock. When the master wakes up, ask him if he remembers anything." Wang Wan explained again, Then he waved his hand and said: "Wait for your master to go to the study to rest."

Xue Cheng caught the wind and cold at night, and his whole body was scorching hot, obviously he was confused, Wang Wan had to get up to take care of him, so he invited a doctor to see him drink the decoction before leaving. After waking up, he was talking about finding the murderer, but it had already passed a few days, and there was no evidence, so naturally it was nothing.

In the next few days, Xue Cheng's face was very ugly. Thinking about it, he realized the fact that he couldn't get hard. He had been sleeping in the study during this time, and he didn't go to the backyard to look for his white moonlight. This made Wang Wan snicker for a long time , hiding in Yongfutang with her children in her arms, I just feel that this day is extraordinarily moist, and even Xia Wan'er's noble and worried face doesn't feel intimidating anymore.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and because there were no elders to serve her, she could be regarded as a talker in the entire Xue family's inner house. A group of maids, women, and servants came to Yongfu Hall to kowtow to her. Wang Wan has always spent money generously. The three-month bounty was sent out without blinking an eye, except for the Xia family of course.

Since Aunt Shen took 2000 taels of silver from Wang Wan, she has been very well-behaved. She comes to Wang Wan's place to serve her every day, serving tea, pouring water, lifting the curtain and playing the fan non-stop.

All the annual gifts from the Wang family and Jia family in Beijing were also delivered. Wang Wan just glanced at them and asked Qiao Cui to register them in the warehouse. The annual gifts that the original owner gave to the Wang family and Jia family every year were unknown, let alone Wang Wan's private gifts. The bank note was hidden by her natal family, and Wang Ziteng, the Xue family's shop in the capital, got the bonus, but in the end, she was just like a fool, and no one took her seriously. Also quite satisfactory.

Her elder sister has also been pregnant for six months, and every time she sends a letter, she always asks Wang Wan to come to Beijing to attend the child's full moon. Jia Baoyu, what a golden and jade marriage, it all came to nothing.

On the fifteenth day, Wang Wan took her children to visit the lantern festival. This was the first time she visited such a lantern festival. There were tied lanterns everywhere. Sister Bao is now one year old, in Wang Wan's arms Babbling and babbling out some unknown words from time to time, which seemed extraordinarily lively.

This made Wang Wan feel very satisfied. Xue Baochai of Dream of Red Mansions has a stable temper and is sleek and sophisticated. Xue Baochai suppressed her temperament and made her more in line with the standards of a feudal lady. Wang Wan only felt that she was pitiful, even sad, and she didn't want her daughter to live so hard.

Wang Wan was in a good mood. She was not very accurate in guessing riddles, and she didn't expect to win lanterns by guessing riddles. She readily took out a coin and gave each of the two little guys a rabbit lantern. Wang Wan liked the many snacks along the way. It makes people drool, look at the crystal clear of this little wonton bag, it really makes people can't help but whet their appetite.

With Xue Pan making a fuss in front of her, Wang Wan was not angry, she just watched with a smile, she was eating happily, but she didn't want to raise her head and run into Xue Cheng and Xia Wan'er, so she didn't lose her appetite.

Xue Cheng's expression was a bit complicated, and Wang Wan ignored him, picked up Sister Bao and pulled Brother Pan, and turned away. Such a defiant attitude directly annoyed Xue Cheng. He walked a few steps quickly, and said with an ugly expression: "What do you mean you leave when you see me?!" It's as if he doesn't exist, does anyone treat his husband like this!

"Oh, it's the master. I didn't see it just now. I hope the master is not to blame." Wang Wan apologized kindly, seeing that his complexion was still a bit ugly, she couldn't help rolling her eyes, and then she smiled hypocritically and said : "I'll take Brother Pan to play, so I won't delay the master." He raised his head and walked away, quite proudly.

After returning from the street, Wang Wan thumped her shoulder and said, "The little guy is getting heavier and heavier, but he is about to die of exhaustion."

"Mom!" Sister Bao can already say some words intermittently, but most of them are not clear, but she can still tell that her daughter is calling herself. Call mom to listen."

"Mom, don't just care about your sister." Brother Pan pouted, standing beside Wang Wan, and said rather unhappily: "Mom now only cares about my sister in her eyes, and she doesn't care about Pan'er anymore. .”

These words made Wang Wan laugh, pinched Xue Pan's little nose, and joked: "But Pan'er is a boy, and he will protect his mother and sister in the future."

Several people were laughing and laughing, but Xue Cheng led Xia Wan'er directly to Yongfu Hall, Wang Wan was a little annoyed, what happened today, so lingering, she asked the maids to carry their children down, and stood up Standing up, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there something for the master today?" As he spoke, he looked at all kinds of lanterns in the hands of the two of them, and said happily, "Look at the master's harvest today."

Xue Cheng frowned, and regardless of Wang Wan's ugly face, he sat directly on the main seat, and said, "Wan'er won them all." He glanced at the two rabbit lamps placed beside him, He smiled and said, "I just saw that you bought these two lamps?!" Although it was a question sentence, there was no doubt in the voice.

Wang Wan twitched the corners of her mouth, her complexion turned dark, but she still couldn't help being surprised, and said, "Is the master here to laugh at me?" You must be full!

Xia Wan'er came out, pointing with her slender and round fingers to the various lanterns that had just been brought out, pursing her lips and said, "It just so happened that I got some extra lanterns, let's pick two for my brothers and sisters to play with."

Xue Cheng wanted to say something, but when he saw Xia Wan'er, he fell silent, stood up after a long while, and said, "Here is a lamp for you." Then he took Xia Wan'er and left, Wang Wan was out of breath , grabbed a pillow and threw it towards Xue Cheng's head.

"You shrew!" Xue Cheng covered his forehead and widened his eyes angrily, and said, "Wan'er is just here to give a lantern, why is she so ignorant!"

Wang Wan clapped her hands, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, my hand slipped, I'm really sorry for accidentally hitting the master."

"You, you, you!" Xue Cheng was so angry that he said three words "you" in such a scoundrel's appearance.

Wang Wan just asked someone to throw the lantern out, and said: "Xue Cheng, you told me not to provoke your Bai Yueguang, I did it, but don't really treat me as a good-natured person and let you bully me!" It snapped shut in front of Xue Cheng's eyes.

Xue Cheng looked at the solid door in front of him, panting out of breath, and said, "This is simply the opposite!!"

"Brother Xue, don't be angry." Xia Wan'er lowered her head, with a bit of annoyance and loss in her tone, and said, "I only wanted to make my wife happy...but I didn't expect..."

Xue Cheng sighed, took her hand, and said, "Don't be discouraged. Although my wife has a bad temper, she is not unreasonable." He wanted Xia Wan'er and Wang Wan to ease the relationship Yes, it's not that he didn't hear the rumors in the city, only saying that he dotes on his concubine and kills his wife, it's simply wronged!

Xia Wan'er hummed, but glanced at the broken lanterns on the ground, and at the tightly closed door, the meaning was self-evident.

Xue Cheng couldn't get off the stage, so he had no choice but to comfort her: "She is impatient, I know you have been wronged."

Xia Wan'er sniffed, and then said: "I am not wronged, for Brother Xue, Wan'er can do anything!" As she spoke, she looked firmly at Xue Cheng, and said, "I will serve my wife well."

Xue Cheng was a little moved, put his arms around Xia Wan'er, and said, "Don't worry, my wife is not difficult to get along with, it's just that she doesn't know you well."

But Wang Wan, after driving Xue Cheng out, leaned against the door, biting her lower lip in doubt, a little confused as to why this person was going crazy, or was stimulated by something, Wang Wan couldn't figure it out Putting this crop down, he shook his head coldly, preparing to rest.

As soon as she lay down, she heard the mother-in-law calling the door, Qiao Cui put the quilt on Wang Wan, frowned suspiciously, and said: "Madam, please rest first, servant girl will go and have a look." Then she walked out After a while, he walked in, and said puzzledly: "Ma'am, the door said that a lame Taoist priest and a skinny monk came outside, and they only shouted to see his wife. The door is really getting more and more presumptuous, really. Report everything inside, just throw it out."

Wang Wan's eyes flashed, and she knew that it was the monk who had some background, so she hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, let that monk come in together, I want to see where the supernatural power is!" Saying that, let Qiaozhu go Xue Cheng was invited, after all, it was already night, and it was not good for her to see the two of them alone.
