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

When Wang Wan thought that Lin Ruhai might die soon, wouldn't it be more difficult to say about Xuan'er's marriage?She couldn't sleep for several days because of this matter, and finally stayed until dawn, and hurriedly wrote a letter asking someone to send it to Yangzhou.

Daiyu went to Beijing at the beginning, but only stayed for half a year, and then caught up with the new emperor enthroned, Lin Ruhai, and returned to Beijing to report his duties. The nanny brought her back to the Lin family, and in this way, sister Lin's fate was completely changed.

Lin Ruhai's reply came soon, saying that after the spring of this year, he was thinking about it, and asked himself if he had a suitable candidate.

Regarding Lin Xuan's marriage, Wang Wan was naturally very concerned. In her opinion, it was only a matter of time before Lin Xuan was named on the gold list. She was never worried that Lin Xuan would fail the exam, so her vision was inevitably higher.

On this day, a report came from the door suddenly, saying that a girl had come to visit.

Wang Wan was very puzzled, and said, "Did the person who came here tell you their last name?"

Tong Hui frowned and said, "No, she just said that Mrs. Imagining asked about something."

"Just dismiss such a person directly." Wang Wan frowned, looked at Tong Hui, and said, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Ma'am, my servant went to have a look, but the girl and my servant looked very similar to the same person." Tong Hui hesitated for a moment before saying softly.

"Huh?" Wang Wan was a little puzzled, and asked suspiciously, "Who is it similar to?"

"The servant girl looks a little similar to Mr. Cui's eyebrows and eyes." Tong Hui said after coughing lightly. She had served Mr. Cui for a while, so she understood.

Tong Wen also nodded and said, "Your maidservant also looks alike."

Wang Wan shook her head amusedly, and said: "I'm really joking, there are so many similar people in this world, not to mention, Mr. Cui is not married at all."

"Isn't it enough for my wife to call me to have a look?" Tong Wen also laughed and said, "Do you want to listen to what the girl has to say?"

Wang Wan thought about it for a while, and said, "Then let people come in."

As soon as the girl came in, Wang Wan was startled and gave Tong Wen a surprised look. With such an appearance, one could tell at a glance that this girl probably had a lot of connections with Mr. Cui.

"Greetings to my wife." The girl was also very generous, she didn't show any timidity when she looked at Wang Wan, she just said: "My name is Cui Qingchan, I came to the house this time, just imagining that my wife is asking about someone."

Wang Wan pursed her lips, but said: "I see that the girl is only twelve or thirteen years old, but she is looking for someone in Jinling City alone?"

The girl nodded, looked at Wang Wan with dark eyes, and said, "I came from Jinan, Shandong, and I came to Jinling this time to find my father."

Wang Wan bit her lower lip, glanced at the girl, did not speak, only heard the girl say again: "Father's name is Cui Ziyan, from Qinghe."

"Why did you find Xue's family?" Wang Wan asked cautiously.

"I don't know." Cui Qingchan shook her head, her eyes were very peaceful, and she said: "After my mother left, she only told me my father's name and asked me to go to Beijing to find relatives." She looked at Wang Wan, and said: After my mother was buried, I went to the capital. As an orphan, I wanted to find relatives, but it was extremely difficult, but I didn’t think it was still a step too late. He resigned, but he left Beijing. Some people said that Jiangnan, I heard that the Xue family and father are old friends, so I came to visit."

But Wang Wan had already believed it, and said: "Although I have some relationship with Mr., but I don't know her whereabouts." She looked at the girl without any disappointment in her eyes, she just understood, and she already understood in her heart that this I'm afraid I've been disappointed for too long, and now I don't have any expectations. At a young age, I'm looking for relatives thousands of miles away, but I can still stand here. If this girl is stupid, she might have been abducted by now. .

"Then take your leave." Cui Qingchan nodded and was about to leave.

"Wait." Wang Wan quickly stood up and said, "You're a girl, where will you stay when you leave?" She was covered in wind and frost, and she was obviously exhausted. Hearing this, she pursed her lips and said : "I heard that there are wing rooms in the Jiming Temple on the mountain, which often accommodate passing tourists."

Wang Wan walked up to Cui Qingchan, shook her head, and said: "How can I do that, after all, you are a girl, and the quiet place of the Buddhist temple in the temple does not accept female guests."

"Madam, don't worry. I've been traveling all this way. For convenience, I often show people in men's clothes." Cui Qingchan smiled and spoke soothingly.

Wang Wan shook her head and said with a smile: "You just need to live here." She pulled Cui Qingchan and said with a smile: "Even if you are the daughter of an old friend, how can you see you living on the street?"

Cui Qingchan froze for a moment, pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I'm sorry."

Wang Wan patted her hand reassuringly, and asked Tong Wen to take her to clean up. After Cui Qingchan left, Wang Wan frowned, stroked her chin, and thought to herself that Mr. Cui had resigned. It seems that he It must have been revenge. She had vaguely heard about Mr. Cui, but she didn't know much about it. She only knew that his mother was persecuted to death by her husband's family, and she almost died, so she managed to escape.

Cui Qingchan stayed in Xue's house like this, she is a very steady and knowledgeable girl, but some things are not easy to inquire about, because Baochai and Baochai are about the same age, so they can hang out together.

She sent someone to inquire about Mr. Cui, but there was no whereabouts. Later, she heard that Mr. Cui had appeared near the middle of Shu, so she specially sent a letter to him, only asking him to come to Jinling as soon as possible.

After Lin Xuan Chunwei passed away, he was named on the gold list, and was appointed as Tanhua Lang in court. A double Tanhua, endowed with unlimited scenery. Because Lin Ruhai worked hard in Yangzhou for several years, he was also fortunate to be transferred back to Beijing. After a few years, the Lin family After all, he returned to Beijing.

Wang Wan only found out when she received a letter from Lin Xuan. He thought that with Lin Ruhai's help, Xuan'er's journey must be smoother than others.

It's just that this marriage still gave Wang Wan a headache.

Now not only has to worry about Xuan'er, but also Pan'er, sometimes Wang Wan has some doubts, how can time go by so fast, in the blink of an eye.

The Lin family, don't think about it anymore. Although Wang Wan likes Daiyu, she doesn't want to wrong Pan'er. Just like Xue Cheng, this society still pays attention to marrying women from high families and marrying women from low families. The threshold for the Lin family is too high now Well, she doesn't want Pan'er to step on her. If she makes a pair of resentful couples in the future, she will be about to cry without tears.

Yuan Chun's concubine, like a huge pie, fell on the Jia family's head. Jia's mother and Wang family were forced to breathe by the three Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Yuan Chun's superior position gave them breathing room. Completely fought a beautiful turnaround.

After Wang Wan heard this, she just smiled. She is living a peaceful life now, except for the occasional discordant voices from the west courtyard, everything else is fine.

Cui Ziyan came to Jinling at the end of the year. When he saw Cui Qingchan, he seemed a little dazed, even at a loss. Wang Wan could see clearly that this man didn't know that he had such a daughter.

This made Wang Wan feel slightly contemptuous.

"This is Qingchan. I saw that she was really cute, so she stayed at home with me." Wang Wan looked at Cui Ziyan, and introduced: "She said she is from Jinan, father..." Wang Wan glanced at Cui Ziyan, That's obvious.

"This..." He looked at Wang Wan with some embarrassment, but Cui Qingchan's similar appearance to him could not be faked.

When Cui Qingchan saw Cui Ziyan, she only sighed softly, took a step forward, and said: "Mother only said to give you this jade pendant, so Daddy will know about it."

Cui Ziyan's hand holding the jade pendant trembled a little, it was an absolute shock, he murmured: "How could it be so?" He suddenly shook his head and said: "No, it won't, nothing happened at all. "

Wang Wan pursed her lips and watched this scene, not knowing how to react.

"Mother said that she never regretted it." Cui Qingchan said softly, "Mother told me that you don't know my existence, so let me not resent my father."

"If it wasn't for her being unable to hold on anymore, mother would never let me come to look for you for the rest of her life." Cui Qingchan pursed her lips, there were some tears in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

Cui Ziyan seemed to be about to collapse, but he ran out suddenly.

Wang Wan patted Cui Qingchan's shoulder and said, "Good boy, don't worry, your father is not an irresponsible person, there must be some misunderstanding in it." Children or something, it's better not to be so mature, but It hurts.

At night, Wang Wan looked at Cui Ziyan who was sitting in the yard drinking alone, and couldn't help but walked up, saying: "Drinking hurts your health." She noticed that there were tears in the corners of Cui Ziyan's eyes.

Cui Ziyan sneered, but subconsciously murmured: "It hurts the body? Yes, it hurts the body."

Wang Wan hesitated for a moment before saying: "If there is any difficulty, maybe it would be better to say it."

Cui Ziyan took another sip of wine, and after a long silence, he said: "She is my cousin, because there is no one in her family, she has lived in Cui's house since she was a child."

"She always likes to follow me, which makes people bored." Cui Ziyan smiled wryly, and said, "But after my mother's accident, she was the only one who stayed with me." He raised his head blankly, pursed his lips, and said: "I didn't know that my cousin...had such thoughts on me."

"That time, I was whipped by my father. I was drunk and didn't remember anything. When I woke up, only my cousin was taking care of me. She was still smiling, and there was nothing unusual... How did I know, how did I know... ..." Cui Ziyan's voice was full of tears, even remorse, "My cousin is timid since she was born, and she doesn't like to talk, but she chooses to have children out of wedlock. What should she do? How did she come here?" Cui Ziyan lifted At the beginning, there was some pleading in Wang Wan's eyes, as if she wanted her to tell me that all this is fake and not real.

Wang Wan pursed her lips, and said after a long while: "Qingchan is taught very well by her." That woman foolishly used her life to fall in love with someone secretly, for which she gave everything.

Wang Wan can imagine how difficult it must be in such a society. Having a child out of wedlock, huh, in a tolerant society like modern times, giving birth out of wedlock has to face the strange faces of everyone, let alone this era. up.

"Yeah, Qingchan is fine." Cui Ziyan took another sip of wine, then stood up, and said, "I will take good care of her in the future."

Wang Wan looked at his appearance and said softly: "You are a man, how do you take care of him?" She walked up and said, "Let her stay here, she won't be so lonely with Bao girl by her side. "

Cui Ziyan thought for a while, then nodded and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"You don't need to be so polite." Wang Wan smiled, and said with a smile: "Just take it as my company." There are always fewer people in this huge courtyard, but it seems deserted.

Wang Wan looked at Cui Qingchan, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she was. Although this girl had suffered a little, she was well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, she could do everything, and she was good at taking care of others.

Wang Wan would often take her and Bao Yatou out for a stroll, whether it was mountain climbing or flower viewing. When the days were comfortable, there was a smile on her face.

But she is also a beautiful girl, it would be good to be a daughter-in-law.

But before Wang Wan opened her mouth to speak, she was interrupted by a girl brought back by Xue Panfeng in a hurry. When she saw the cinnabar mole on the center of the girl's eyebrows, Wang Wan was shocked. Ling it!

In fact, Xiangling has been nagging in Wang Wan's heart for more than ten years, and I can't forget each other. You must know that Xue Pan beat him to death because of Xiangling, so they went to Beijing to join Jia's family!

"What's going on here?" Wang Wan asked quickly, pulled Xue Pan and said, "Did you cause trouble outside? Why did you bring a girl back?" She even fainted!

Xue Pan looked embarrassed, and quickly said: "Mom, don't be in a hurry, it's not my fault." Seeing his mother's anxious appearance, Xue Pan felt a little guilty, and said, "Just as I came out of the shop today, I saw a gangster bullying me on the street. This girl saved her easily, but who knew she passed out." Xue Pan said helplessly.

Wang Wan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly patted her chest, and said, "That's fine, I thought you were causing trouble outside." She said and glared at Xue Pan.

"Mother, in your heart, is your son so useless?" She looked quite helpless.

The girl woke up soon, she was indeed called Xiangling, but she looked a little confused, Wang Wan couldn't help asking: "Xiangling, do you remember where you live?" She could send the girl back , without her own son, it might be a blessing for Xiangling to meet Feng Yuan.

"I, I... I won't go back..." Xiangling shrank back slightly, but there were some traces of being whipped between her arms, she quickly shrank back, her eyes were a little timid, and said: "I... ..." She pursed her lips, and said again: "I escaped."

Wang Wan looked at Xiangling and asked in surprise, "You escaped?"

Xiangling mustered up her courage, then nodded, and said, "Yes, he is not my father, but a kidnapper."

Wang Wan frowned, and saw Xiangling knelt down again, and said: "Madam, please, I can wash and cook, and I can also serve my wife, I can do everything, please let me stay here."

Baochai looked at Xiangling and said, "Mom, just stay here, our Xue family doesn't need this person for dinner."

Wang Wan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

After finally finding a chance, Wang Wan had the time to talk about his marriage with Pan'er, and said: "Pan'er, what do you think of Chan'er?" With a smile on her face, she said: "She is your master's daughter, Mothers don’t pay much attention to family background, they only talk about the child’s character, and mother sees that she is a good girl.” She always asked her son if he meant it or not.She can't really be like an old-fashioned old man, completely ignoring what her son means.

"Mom, when are you starting to think about marriage?" Xue Pan seemed a little embarrassed, blushing slightly, and said, "Don't mention this, Chan'er is just like a younger sister."

Wang Wan blinked in confusion, what does this mean?Could it be that he missed it?

"Why is she like a younger sister? She is a good girl. Wouldn't it be a pity if I missed it?" Wang Wan quickly advised, "It's not because your mother urged you, but you have seen it too. It's not bad for people who come to the house to talk about matchmaking on weekdays." Less, only the mother didn't like it, but the cicada, the mother is accurate in judging people, she is definitely a good boy."

"Okay mom." Xue Pan frowned, but coughed lightly, a little afraid to look Wang Wan in the eye.

Seeing his expression, Wang Wan felt a sudden move in her heart, and asked tentatively, "Does Pan'er value some girl?" According to her son's slightly embarrassed look, Wang Wan sighed slightly, feeling that it was a pity, if her son saw If she fucks someone else, she won't be able to talk about cicadas anymore.

"Mother..." Xue Pan looked around and said softly, "I've taken a fancy to Xiangling, and I want to marry her."

"What?!" Wang Wan yelled strangely, and said, "Since when did you fall in love with Xiangling?" Just because she is Xiangling, she was always on guard, and she didn't see when they had contact, why? I just fell in love with it.

"Mom, why should you be surprised?" Xue Pan touched the tip of his nose, leaned back on the chair, and muttered, "When I brought her back, I fell in love with her. If my mother wants to marry me, don't make a fuss. Look at Xiangling."

Wang Wan gave Xue Pan a complicated look. Is this the influence of the plot? Although the son didn't kill anyone, he still fell in love with Xiangling at a glance.

Wang Wan couldn't make a turn in her heart for a while, Xue Pan didn't force her, she just did what she should do, but from time to time she gave Xiangling a book or a maple leaf behind her back, which made Wang Wan want to pretend I can't do it without knowing it.

"Pan'er, I'm afraid the child has moved his heart." Cui Ziyan couldn't help teasing.

Wang Wan only felt lucky that she didn't have time to mention Pan'er and Chan'er, otherwise, how would it end now.

The three-year draft was held vigorously, and this time it seemed extra grand. After all, it was the first draft after the new emperor ascended the throne. Because of the name of the imperial merchant, the Xue family also wanted to send girls of the right age to Beijing to be selected. Chai is obviously on the list of candidates.

Wang Wan wasn't in the mood to worry about Pan'er anymore, she was just Xiang Ling, and now she was at Xue's house, what trouble could she cause?The key is the daughter!

Baochai is the girl Wang Wan brought up with great difficulty, and only she knows how much affection she has put into it. She is reluctant to let her daughter go to a place like the palace, but the emperor's order cannot be violated.

"Mother, why are you so worried?" Baochai frowned, looked at Wang Wan and said, "But it's just waiting for election, our family is only an imperial merchant, maybe we were dismissed early."

Wang Wan frowned and sighed: "It's nice to say, my son is so good, the eyes of those who brush you down must be covered with shit."

"Pfft." Qingchan laughed and said, "Auntie, do you want my sister to be banned?"

"I don't want to let Bao girl go to the palace. With our identities, even if we go in, what we do is just to serve people. How can we be more comfortable than being in our own home?" Wang Wan sighed.

On the contrary, Xue Pan rolled his eyes and said, "Mother, don't worry, when the time comes, we will find someone to make peace with. It will be difficult for us to be selected based on our identities, but it is not easy for us to let my sister put her name on the list." what?"

Wang Wan thought it was true, Baochai was not selected in the book, she was slightly relieved.

"Then let's go to Beijing earlier, and the time will be more relaxed." Seeing that his mother had figured it out, Xue Pan said.

Wang Wan nodded and said: "Well, let's tidy it up earlier, and let people come to Beijing to take a good rest of our house. No one has lived in it for many years, so I don't know how it is now."

Xue Pan went to make arrangements on his own, needless to say, while Wang Wan was busy packing her luggage, the news that Mrs. Liu was seriously ill came from the west courtyard, which surprised Wang Wan.

After what happened to Mrs. Liu, under Wang Wan's deliberate arrangement, she was caught by Mrs. Liu. I don't know how Mrs. Liu cried, but Mrs. Liu actually suppressed this matter. She felt it was inappropriate, but Mrs. Liu had already made a decision, and Wang Wan just gave some advice, so she didn't care about it.

It's only been a few years, and the body has lost such a loss.

Wang Wan took Baochai to the Liu family's courtyard. Because of Xue Cheng's departure, the two families were separated from each other, but now they had to go around the main entrance. Wang Wan sat on the carriage with her eyes slightly closed. Chai was silent for a moment, then said: "Mom, Auntie's illness is strange. A few days ago, I saw that she was fine."

Wang Wan nodded, but did not speak, Baochai bit her lower lip, and fell silent, only when she was about to reach Ximen, Wang Wan said: "Just take Qin girl with you for a while, don't wander around. "She is not very worried about the backyard.

The author has something to say: The Xue family is going to Beijing too.
