Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber

What is Wang's idea, she is Xue's idea.

When Aunt Xue was teasing her like that back then, she didn't have time to pay attention to it before, but now that she has the opportunity, naturally Wang will not let it go.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Wang went to Xue's house in a sedan chair, and the concierge hurried in to report her when she came.

Xue Pan was the first to get the news, and immediately went to the Flower Hall, "Hello, Auntie, I still didn't believe it when I heard that Auntie came today, but I didn't expect it to be true. You can forget to bring it up."

Mrs. Wang didn't know that Xue Pan was mocking her for coming to the door without saying hello, her expression changed immediately, but thinking of the purpose of coming today, she still forced a smile, "Why is your concierge incompetent? It's me who thinks about my family, so I don't need to pay attention to these formalities."

Xue Pan said with a smile, "Exactly! Exactly! I was confused."

Xue Pan asked Wang again, "A few days ago I heard that sister Yuanchun was made a concubine, but is it true?"

The smile on Wang's face became sincere, "Naturally."

Xue Pan said, "Then this is a great thing!" Immediately, he talked a lot without stopping, and Wang's eyes were wide-eyed.

Xue Pan complimented Wang to the extreme when he heard Wang say that the Supreme Emperor had specially allowed Yuanchun to visit his relatives.

After hearing enough flattery, Mrs. Wang said, "Pan'er, where's your mother? My aunt has something to do with her."

Xue Pan heard the words, but his face was sad, "...Auntie, mother has been ill for a long time."

Wang was startled, "Sick?! When did you get sick? Did you invite a doctor? How are you doing now?!"

Xue Pan said: "A few days ago, a big manager in the shop rolled up the money in the account and ran away. Most of the family's property was gone. My mother fell ill when she heard about it. She hasn't recovered after raising her. Baochai takes care of her every day. It's on."

Hearing what Xue Pan said, the Wang family didn't quite believe it, and began to suspect that the Xue family was playing tricks to deceive her.

But Wang's face was still full of anxiety, "Why don't you take me to see your mother soon?! You child, why didn't your mother tell me when she was sick? She wanted to move out at the beginning, so she hired the chief physician to live in Jia's house. It is convenient."

Xue Pan led Mrs. Wang to go and replied: "Mother won't let us say that Auntie, you are busy yourself, and you have suffered a lot of grievances because we stayed in Jia's house, so why bother you again?" .”

Xue Pan led Wang into Aunt Xue's house, "Mother, Baochai, Auntie is here."

As soon as Mrs. Wang entered the house, she found that the room was full of medicinal smell, and the windows were tightly closed. It was already the end of May and the beginning of June. Plush cushions and thick door curtains were not changed.

Baochai came out to meet them when she heard the movement, and immediately bowed when she saw Wang, but her body swayed, and her eyes were also full of black and blue.

Seeing Baochai like this, Mrs. Wang also believed in Aunt Xue's illness.

Entering the back room, I saw Aunt Xue lying on the bed, with a haggard face, and she lost a lot of weight. When she saw her, she shed tears and stretched out her hand, "Sister."

Mrs. Wang hurried forward and held Aunt Xue's hand, "How can you be so sick?!"

Aunt Xue held Wang Shi's hand tightly, choked with sobs and said: "Sister, you have to help me, you must catch that person, that is most of the Xue family's wealth!"

Xue Baochai and Xue Pan hurried forward to comfort Aunt Xue.

Xue Baochai said: "Mother, it's a good thing that my aunt is here today. You should be happy. Don't cry."

Xue Pan said: "Yes, mother, please relax, what are you afraid of with your aunt around? The doctor has said that you should be at ease."

Seeing that Aunt Xue was still in tears, Xue Pan said again: "Mother, you don't know that now, sister Yuanchun has been made a concubine, and she is also specially allowed to visit her relatives, which shows the depth of honor and favor. , it’s just a matter of one sentence for my aunt.”

Aunt Xue looked at Wang excitedly, "Really?"

Wang Shi was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to refuse. It's difficult to find someone from all over the world for such a one-sentence matter. How can she have the time and energy to staff it?But just as he was about to speak to Mrs. Wang, he thought that the person Xue Pan had said stole most of the money from the Xue family.

Mrs. Wang settled down, "Don't worry, after I go back, I will send someone to the yamen to tell me, and I will help you find that person."

Only then did Aunt Xue show a smile, "Speaking of which, Yuan Chun was made a concubine, and I haven't congratulated my sister yet."

Aunt Xue said: "I originally gave some gifts to congratulate, but now the family is in trouble, and there is nothing good to sell, sister, don't be disgusted."

Saying that, Aunt Xue asked Baochai to go to the storeroom to pick some things to put on, so that Mrs. Wang could take them back later.

Wang even said no, she came to ask for money, so why do she want those things.

Aunt Xue kept saying what she wanted, and she took Wang's hand again, "Sister, sister asks you one more thing, and I hope you can agree based on your friendship over the years."

Wang had no choice but to ask Aunt Xue to say, "If I can do it, it will be unambiguous."

Aunt Xue said: "Now there are only two things I worry about."

"One is Pan'er. At the beginning, he settled the case in a daze, but now he is still a dead person in name. Sister, please beg your mother to settle the matter of Pan'er. He must live in this world dignifiedly!"

When Wang heard this, she was dumbfounded. She knew how difficult Xue Pan's case was. How could it be so easy to overturn the case?

But it was hard to refuse the eyes of Wang who prayed to Aunt Xue. After all, she was the one who promised to help Xue Pan, but in the end she turned Xue Pan into a dead person.

Mrs. Wang hesitated and said: "I promise you this matter, I don't know if it may not work, I can only try."

Aunt Xue nodded, "Of course I know, if it doesn't work, I can't blame others."

"The second is Baochai. Now that Baochai is getting older, the current situation at home... how can I back up a dowry for her? The only thing I'm lucky about now is that my sister and I have decided on the marriage of Baochai and Baoyu, but This time I didn't exchange tokens, and secondly, I didn't exchange Geng stickers, I always feel uneasy..."

At this time, Mrs. Wang already regretted coming to Xue's house. Instead of getting the money, she caused a lot of trouble.

Wang looked at Aunt Xue apologetically, "Oh, this is what I wanted to tell you this time."

Aunt Xue suddenly had a bad feeling.

Wang slowly said: "Yuanchun loved Baoyu at first, and she personally enlightened Baoyu back then. Now that Yuanchun has become a concubine, she cares more about Baoyu. Last time she visited the palace, Yuanchun directly said that Baoyu's marriage She calls the shots."

Aunt Xue's face paled in an instant, "How could it be? Sister, go and talk to your empress again, the relationship between our two families is always good if we get closer. The best child, or you can bring Baochai into the palace and show it to the empress, maybe the empress will agree when she sees Baochai..."

Seeing Aunt Xue like this, Wang's heart softened a bit, but when she thought of Jia Baoyu, Wang's heart hardened again.

With a sister like Yuanchun, how can Baoyu not find a good marriage?Now that Baochai is like this, if Baoyu really marries, then Baoyu will be wronged.

In the end, Mrs. Wang got nothing but a cart full of cheap gifts.

After sending Wang away, Xue Pan went back to Aunt Xue's house, where Xue Baochai was asking people to open the doors and windows for ventilation.

Aunt Xue was sitting on a chair in a daze, her face was a little ugly, but she was not as haggard as before.

Xue Baochai brought tea, and her face became radiant, "Mom also saw it today."

Aunt Xue smiled wryly, "Dear sisters..."

Xue Pan also sat down, "Mom, you treat her as a real sister, but she doesn't treat you as one. You have seen it today. If we hadn't been prepared, we might have been extorted a lot of money today."

Aunt Xue still had a little fantasy, "What if she really helped us find someone? And your case..."

Xue Baochai sighed, "Mother, why bother to deceive yourself?"

As soon as I heard that Jia Yuanchun was named concubine Xue Baochai, I knew it was not good, so I immediately asked people to keep an eye on the Rongguo Mansion. In the past two days, I just found out that the Jia family was going to build a garden for the virtuous concubine to visit relatives. Xue Baochai's first reaction was that the Wang family would Come to borrow money.

Xue Baochai immediately found Xue Pan and told him her plan.

Xue Pan didn't understand these twists and turns, but he knew that there was no reason to use his Xue family's money to repair Jia's house, and it looked like it was impossible for the Jia family to pay back the money.

Xue Pan agreed to Xue Baochai's plan, and the two found Aunt Xue again. Aunt Xue naturally didn't believe that her own sister would do this, and she was unwilling to do so.

Seeing that Aunt Xue couldn't make sense, Xue Baochai finally resorted to a big killer, saying that if it turns out that Mrs. Wang is good and sincerely considers them, they will apologize to Mrs. Wang, and they can even go back to Jia's residence. She is also willing to marry Jia Baoyu.

Aunt Xue hesitated for a while, but finally agreed.

Today's drama, some are true, some are false, and I am not afraid of Wang's investigation.

It is true that the chief manager ran away with the money, but on the day he ran away, Xue Pan went to the shop to pick up the money. But he ran away on the way to the official.

It was true that Aunt Xue was sick, and she was really mad by this incident, but she has recovered in the past few days.

And Aunt Xue is really worried about Xue Pan and Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai sighed inwardly, "Mother, why are you worrying? Didn't you hear that your uncle was coming back a few days ago? Ask him for help, and my brother's matter will be resolved. As for me, after these things, I also understand. Some things are really fate, maybe my good days are in the future."

Aunt Xue nodded, and said: "Then let's just ignore it, what if the empress gets angry?"

Xue Baochai was silent for a while, then turned to Xue Pan and said, "Brother, please come and return the remaining IOUs."

Originally, I thought that there would be a chance for the Jia family to return the money, but now it seems that I have to treat it as feeding the dog.

More than 20 taels of silver, let's see who can tell the truth!

Xue Pan also understood, and reluctantly went to get the IOU.

Mrs. Wang went back to her mansion and greeted Jia's mother in a friendly way.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang had returned to her previous extremely respectful appearance, Jiamu knew that she had returned without success today, and said indifferently: "But did you borrow money?"

Wang's face flushed, and she repeatedly explained the current situation of Xue's family.

Jia's mother is old and mature, what else does she not understand?Although he was speechless towards the Wang family, he rarely felt resentment towards the Xue family.

At this moment, the servants notified Xue Pan to see him.

Xue Pan handed the IOUs to Jia Mu with a face of shame, "The current situation of the family is not good, and there is really no extra money to help my mother. I thought I could help run errands, but my mother is ill, and the family really cannot do without people." In the end, after much deliberation, this is the only thing I can do, and I hope the old lady will not blame her."

Mother Jia stared at Xue Pan for a while, "...how can you blame me? It's too late for us to thank you for your kindness."

Xue Pan naturally apologized again, the two talked for a while before Xue Pan left, Jia Mu didn't keep him, and asked someone to send him out of the house.

When Xue Pan left, Mother Jia threw the IOUs on Wang's body, got up and went back to the house.
