Xue Bawang's daily life

Xue Pan found out in the evening that Madam Wang and Lin Daiyu's sisters from Jia's family were coming to their house the next day. He had already asked Lin Jue to come over the next day to have some private conversation, so he simply entertained them together.

His family already raised a group of young opera singers, and during the year of mourning for Xue's father, they did not send them away, instead they stayed and did some chores with the servants of Xue's family.Now that I went to Xiao, and moved my family to Beijing, they all followed me.

Xue Pan didn't know much about what this group of little girls could do together, it was nothing more than reciting poems and painting.It's just that the current courtyard of their house doesn't have much scenery to see, write or paint, so he summed up that the little girl's family doesn't go out much, and listening to an opera is like New Year's Eve, so he asked Baochai to arrange a small opera troupe. Singing a few good shows is also meant to make the sisters happy.

Baochai made arrangements not to mention it.

Just after breakfast the next day, the Jia family came to the door.Xue Pan greeted him in person and waited at the gate.The front door of Xue's family was opened wide, so it was not for the purpose of welcoming the female family members of Jia's family.

Lin Jue and Jia Lian Baoyu got out of the carriage first, and at a glance he saw Xue Pan who was holding a majestic big black dog and looked like showing off his might.Lin Jue smiled and arched, "Brother Xue went out to greet him in person, I'm really flattered."

Xue Pan gave him a squinting look, he really didn't like his old manners, and he didn't want to return the salute, he waved and said: "That's all right, all right, why are you so polite." Then he sneaked a glance at him Looking at Jia Baoyu, he approached Lin Jue and muttered, "Why did you bring him?"

Lin Jue looked at him helplessly, "He came with your aunt, don't I love to lead him, you bastard!"

"There are no words for each other, but only tears." Xue Pan followed directly, expressing his approval for Lin Jue.

Lin Jue looked at him like a fool.

Heizi appreciates Lin Jue's talent and knowledge very much, but he dislikes him being close to Xue Pan.Seeing that they were whispering like no one else, she couldn't help reaching out to pull Xue Pan, and reminded him: "Second Master Lian and Second Master Bao are still here."

Xue Pan had no choice but to go and greet Jia Lian Baoyu again. After seeing each other, a servant of Xue's family led Jia's carriage into the gate. into the backyard.

Xue Pan found that as long as Lin Jue was around, both Jia Baoyu and Jia Lian were very honest.Jia Lian used to be very familiar with him, and every time they met, they didn't have a "happy conversation". It's really surprising that this flamboyant person would look like a quail in front of Lin Jue.

Xue Pan looked at Lin Jue from time to time, and felt that this was a monster.

Heizi quietly blocked Xue Pan's gaze towards Lin Jue, "Today's weather is exceptionally warm, and the servants have placed tea and snacks in the small pavilion, why don't we go there to talk too."

When they arrived at Xue's house, the Xue family had the final say, Lin Jue had nothing to do, Jia Lian was also willing to be with his younger brothers, but Baoyu expressed her eagerness to go to the inner courtyard to greet Aunt Xue.

Xue Pan sneered, thinking it was at Jia's house, "If my cousin wants to say hello, we can go there together later. My mother is still thinking about seeing Brother Lin today, so don't be in a hurry. Let the two wives talk to the girls for a while, and let's go there after the girls go to talk, so as not to disturb the sisters."

Baoyu looked at Xue Pan with a small face made of pink and jade, and said, "I want to see Sister Bao too, but I haven't seen her for a while."

Xue Pan then said again, "That's easy to say, we'll watch the play together later, and we'll see it naturally."

Baoyu was a little anxious, and a little pink appeared on his face. Seeing him scratching his ears and cheeks, Jia Lian said: "Cousin, let Baoyu go to the inner courtyard to talk to the sisters. He never loves these economic chapters. How can he?" Talk to you and go to one place."

Xue Pan stopped talking, but Lin Jue looked at Jia Lian with a smile that was not a smile, "Cousin Lian has been out for a while, I remember the second cousin said that there is something to do at home, and asked you to send the second wife and Come here, sisters, hurry back."

Jia Lian was most afraid of seeing Lin Jue's appearance, as if his little hidden thoughts had been seen through, so he could only smile and said, "That's right, I was going back too, so I said more when I saw Pan'er." A few words."

Xue Pan laughed and said, "Since Sister Feng has something to do with her, I won't keep my cousin-in-law any longer." He called Xue Biao, "Brother Tiao, go and see off my cousin-in-law for me."

Jia Lian declined for a while, and Xue Biao sent him out in the end.Jia Baoyu's request was turned aside, and seeing Jia Lian gone, the others only talked to themselves and ignored him, so he could only follow them listlessly, not daring to mention going to the inner courtyard.

After talking for a while, a servant came to report that Mother Xue had called some people in.Baoyu was energetic for a while, but rushed over quickly.But it turned out that he couldn't get in when a few people were talking at the side just now, so he drank tea and ate snacks boredly, and now he couldn't help it.

Only Xue Biao is a kind man. Seeing that the elder brothers looked at Baoyu holding back a smile, they took Baoyu, who was ashamed, to the next place, and asked his servants to lead him to the clean room.

When Baoyu came back, the smiles of the others had disappeared, only Xue Pan laughed so badly that tears came out.Heizi supported him, and said: "Okay, okay, my wife is still waiting, don't make the elders wait too long."

Xue Pan held back his smile, looked up at Baoyu who was blushing and angry, and couldn't help but burst out laughing again.

Heizi had no choice but to appease Xue Pan again, coaxing Xue Pan well, and they went to Xue's mother in the inner courtyard.

Mother Xue was talking to Mrs. Wang, when she saw their group coming, she said with a smile, "Why did it take me so long to come here, and told me to wait."

Xue Pan couldn't help laughing again, and fell directly into Xue's mother's arms, unable to laugh.Baoyu's face became more and more embarrassing, and she also got into her mother's arms, and said angrily: "Madam, look at Brother Xue..."

Mrs. Wang was also curious, "What's the matter, how did Pan'er smile like this?"

Lin Jue's black son Xue Biao came forward to salute, Lin Jue smiled and told what happened just now, and Mrs. Wang also laughed, "It's such a big deal, it's worth laughing like this, Pan'er can be more careful, be careful for a while and feel sick to your stomach. Comfortable."

Xue Pan finally stopped laughing, Xue mother scolded him while rubbing his belly, "How big a man, and still so unstable, that's your cousin, you actually made a joke of him, be careful if your cousin is really Annoyed you."

I couldn't help laughing when I was talking, and said to Baoyu: "Your cousin has never been upright. Don't be as knowledgeable as him, and don't really annoy him. Auntie apologized for him, and Auntie got a good one here. The good coral skewers are given to you now, as your cousin apologizing to you, okay?"

Baoyu poked his head out from Mrs. Wang's arms, his face still blushing, and said, "There's no use for this, and I didn't bother big brother."

Mrs. Wang also said: "He is a child, but he is a little shy. He is not angry with his cousin. My sister got a good thing, and it should be given to Pan'er and Bao girl. He is a little man, how can he be angry?" I can live with you."

Xue's mother hung the coral string brought out by the girl on Baoyu's wrist, "their brothers and sisters also have it. It turns out that this one was reserved for Baoyu, and it's not very valuable. It's my aunt's wish. Baoyu will keep it for fun."

It is common for the younger generation to come to the door for the first time, and the elders should have prepared some greetings.Although Xue's mother gave things to Baoyu and the girls when she went to Jia's house for the first time, this time it was the first time she came to her house, and etiquette was inevitable.When I was talking to a few girls just now, the girls have their own filial piety such as purses, shoes and socks, and she is an aunt, and she also has pearls and hairpins as gifts.What's more, the Xue family really doesn't lack these things to play with.

Xue's mother had wanted to see Lin Jue for a long time, but now that she saw Lin Jue, she couldn't help praising: "Sure enough, he is a good-looking talent, and he is also very knowledgeable. He is really loved." Her own son can't read, so she It's better to look at children who can read.

Mother Xue gave Lin Jue a set of extremely precious four treasures of the house. She didn't understand these things herself, and Xue Pan didn't know much about them, but both Heizi and Xue Tiao understood, and this set was prepared by Heizi himself for Mother Xue. Yes, let her keep it as a gift.Xue's mother thought that Lin Jue could read, so she must also love these ink, paper and inkstones, so she gave him a set.

As soon as Lin Jue saw it, she really liked it, and Xue's mother became even more happy, "Our family's Tiao'er and Qian'er both know how to read. I heard that you also go to school in the Imperial College. It just so happens that you also have mutual care." Hei Zi and Xue Scorpion, "We are really close relatives, you have to get along well, Lin Xiaoju and your brother Bao are the same relatives."

Mrs. Wang smiled faintly. She didn't know what was going on in her heart, but Lin Jue smiled and said, "Auntie treats me the same way as Cousin Xue, but why do you still call me Xiaojuren? Auntie doesn't mind, so she How about calling me Zirui?"

Xue's mother became more and more cheerful, "I don't hate it, good boy, your elder brother Xue has always been a straight man, don't care about everything with him, he is also a very good child." Xue mother praised her child , Zilai is not stingy.

After saying a few words, Mrs. Wang also gave Heizi Xue Biao a meeting gift. Although Heizi was the adopted son of the Xue family in name and took Xue's surname, he was not naturalized.One is that if they become naturalized, they are merchants and cannot take the imperial examination; the other is the relationship between Xue Pan and Hei Zi, if they really become brothers, it will be difficult to explain.

But Heizi is promising, and he has always been on good terms with Xue Pan, and Xue's mother treats him like a half-son, Madam Wang will not be stingy with this gift.

Mother Xue praised Lin Jue again and again, and Mrs. Wang became more and more dissatisfied. After staying for a while, there was a conversation in this room, so Mother Xue asked the children to talk together, and she and Mrs. Wang continued to talk. Talking about selfishness, Baoyu took advantage of the situation and stayed behind.

Xue Pan didn't like to talk to Baoyu at first, and it was not convenient for them to talk with him, so they simply ignored him and went to talk.

After eating noodles at noon, Xue Pan enjoyed the authentic Yangzhou cuisine prepared by the cook specially invited outside, and enjoyed a small show together.The female relatives are all upstairs, and the male guests sit downstairs, so there is no need to mention any taboos.Naturally, it is inevitable that there will also be those who sneak a glance out of curiosity, and this is really nothing.

The two sisters of the Xue family naturally took a sneak peek at Lin Xiaoju, who was praised by Xue's mother as Yushu Linfeng, and the sisters of the Jia family and Lin Daiyu were inevitably interested in the Xue family brothers. One eye and two eyes, once their eyes met, they quietly withdrew their eyes, they knew each other well and didn't bother to break it.

On the brother's side, except for Baoyu, there is no such impolite person who goes to peep at other girls' houses.Naturally, Jia Baoyu is aboveboard.
