What should I do when I meet my sister-in-law in Red Mansions?

Xue Pan looked at the master and servant who disappeared like the wind, sighed, sat down again, drank a cup of tea, and then went to the appointment.He rotted in his stomach, and no one told him, not even his mother and sister.

But Xia Jingui ran home crying, but the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became. She has always been like this, how could she give up because of Xue Pan's few words.

Since he talked about marriage, the orders of parents, and the words of matchmakers.Then the Xue family will always take the initiative to propose marriage.He said that what he wanted to marry was a girl who could read and write well. Since then, she had restrained herself and went to study!

After making up her mind, Xia Jingui started her plan with great interest.

Of course, Xue Pan didn't know all of this.

"What's the matter? Junior brother. You will be punished for being so late."

"Second brother, you can't do this, it's not kind."

Xue Pan said with a smile, he is not afraid of having a cup or two, but he is afraid that these people will come up with some narrow way to toss him.

"Okay, I pretend to be a bad person, and you all like to pretend to be a good person."

Chen Jinsheng has taken in a total of four disciples, including Xue Pan. Now, except for Xue Pan who is still young, the others are all married and established.

Big disciple Qi Lin, now the head of the Ministry of Industry, from the fourth rank.The second disciple, Ma Yu, is the captain of Wucheng Bingma Division. His rank is not high, but he is deeply trusted by the emperor and has a bright future.The third disciple is Tanhua with a previous conviction, and now he is working in the Hanlin Academy, and he has a bright future in the future.

The most important thing is that these three have already married, only Xue Pan, who is almost 20 years old, is still alone, so the three of them often joke around.

After the party, Xue Pan stayed at the end under the constant winks from his second senior brother, and looked at Ma Yu suspiciously.

"Junior brother, it's really hard to talk about it, it's just..."

Ma Yu smiled wryly, then said to Xue Pan,

"Brother, just tell me, if there is anything that can help, I will do my best!"

Xue Pan answered the words in a considerate manner. He only thought that he wanted to borrow money or something else, but he didn't want to. Ma Yu said something that made his face change drastically.

"Brother, what do you mean..."

"Yes. Although he is a concubine, he is also my younger brother. Marriage is a bit difficult, and he is now in the Imperial Academy, but he is a second-class man, and he has not yet been awarded an official. If you find your third senior brother, you will know what he is. gone."

"Brother, forgive me, such a matter should be taken care of by my aunt, how can I ask you to come..."

"Hey, it wasn't his aunt who made trouble. She looked like my mother would harm his son. She cried and made trouble at home. My mother didn't bother to answer. That's why it's been so late. I'm the same age as you, but I'm not that old. Remembering that you have a younger sister, if you agree, our family will send someone to propose marriage. Don't worry, they will separate after they get married, and my father will not treat him badly, and you don't have to worry..."

"Senior brother, you also know that my mother has always been in charge of this kind of thing, and I can only go home and mention it. If it really works, then I will notify my senior brother."

"Well, thank you, Junior Brother. Then I will take my leave!"

After speaking, he got on his horse and left.Xue Pan watched him go, and began to think about this matter in his heart.Baochai is fifteen this year, and that seventeen is about the same age.It's just that he is a bastard, which is not beautiful, but it is a good thing to be able to separate the family and the young couple live their own lives.At least there is no mother-in-law who needs to flatter all the time, but her aunt doesn't sound like a fuel-efficient lamp.

No, I'd better send someone to investigate. If it's really good, promise Baochai to him, that's all right!

Having made up his mind, Xue Pan gave Lai Le some advice and took Lai Shun home.Unexpectedly, at the door, he ran into a servant sent by Jia's mansion.

"Let's go, I told you that my master is not here, and when the uncle comes back, I will definitely tell him."

"what happened?"

Seeing the push and pull at the door, Xue Pan asked

"Brother Xue, you are back. My master invited you to visit our mansion, but..."

"Okay, I see. My uncle's business is important, so let's go."

Xue Pan stopped his mother-in-law's words, got on his horse immediately, turned around, and went to Ningrong Street.He was also a little curious about what Jia Zheng was looking for!

After entering the mansion, I found that it was more prosperous, too.A noble concubine is naturally different.

"Uncle is well."

After Xue Pan saluted, he stood there without saying a word.Jia Zheng looked at him for a while, and he was completely different from when he first arrived in Beijing.

"Pan'er, I'm looking for you this time for two things, I hope you can help."

"Uncle, please tell me, what you can do is naturally do your best."

Xue Pan didn't dare to make a promise, who knows if Jia's mansion will cheat him.

"Hey, the first thing to do is naturally your cousin, that evil obstacle, seeing that he is so big, but he hasn't read many books. I heard that you have set up an academy, can you recommend a master? Sit in the mansion here, discipline him for two days for me."

"This...it's okay. I'll just ask after I go back."

"Thank you, Pan'er, if you weren't busy with the academy, I would have wanted you to bother and discipline Baoyu for two days."

"Uncle, this is embarrassing me. With my half-toned level, I'm afraid I'll delay Cousin Baoyu."

In fact, Jia Zheng was also worried that Xue Pan's level was not good enough, and he was a relative, so soft-faced that he would not be able to discipline his own demon king, so he wanted to find a strict old man to teach him a thing or two.Besides, there is Jia Lan who is a generation younger than him in this mansion.

Now Jia Lan is studying at Qinghua Academy, and her test scores are in the top five every month. Every time the academy sends the transcripts to Jia's mansion, no one knows that Lan Geer is a promising person now.

While Jia Zheng was happy, he worried about Baoyu instead. Then, under the reminder of his wife, he thought of Xue Pan. Since the teachers of Qinghua Academy are so qualified, it would be good to find someone to teach Baoyu.

Of course, it took his mother a lot of hard work for Jia Lan to go out to take the exam at Blue Flower Academy. The dull Li Gongcai cried a lot in front of Jia's mother. Mother, so that Jalan can go to take the exam.

Fortunately, Jia Lan also knew that such an opportunity did not come easily, and she worked very hard to study, but Xue Pan was very pleased, and it was worthwhile for her to take care of her.

Every time Jia Lan's performance was stimulated, Jia Zheng became more and more restless, so he had this invitation from Jia's mansion.

As for the second matter, as far as Jia Zheng was concerned, he couldn't open his mouth no matter what, but Jia's mother asked, so he had to try.

"Pan'er, you also know that your eldest sister is in the palace now."

"Yes, I heard people say that the empress is quite favored in the palace! Congratulations."

Everyone carried the sedan chair, and Xue Pan agreed.

"Hey, how did you know that she was in a difficult situation, and this huge mansion is starting to feel a little bit stuck."

"My uncle's words are very true. If you can give birth to an emperor's heir, then your empress will be able to rely on her for the rest of her life."

"Hey, who said otherwise. This time I invited you over, Pan'er, because of such a happy event. Madam, she is pregnant now, but the month is still young, so she didn't make any noise!"

Jia Zheng lowered his voice and told Xue Pan such a secret, but the joy in his voice could not be suppressed.Xue Pan was shocked when he heard the words, but he did not show his congratulations on his face, and took out the 2000 taels silver note hidden on his body, saying,

"This is a wish from my nephew."

"This...to tell you the truth, nephew, I came here this time to see if I can borrow some money from Xue's family to help my mother overcome this difficult time. When the little prince is born in the future, I will not forget your kindness, Pan'er." of."

Seeing Jia Zheng blushing, but still trying to suppress him, Xue Pan sighed in his heart, he still doesn't understand this one, whether he is pretending to be stupid or really pedantic!

"Uncle, a while ago, my aunt just borrowed 25 taels of silver notes from the Xue family. It is really difficult to do business now!"

Xue Pan also knew that Jia Zheng was an uncommon person, so he exaggerated his usual actions ten times, and Jia Zheng sighed.This matter of borrowing money is naturally over.On the contrary, he had some sympathy for the Xue family, and kept telling Xue Pan that if he needed any help in business, he could tell Jia Lian that it would be easier to handle things with the name card from this mansion.

Xue Pan thanked him, and then he said hello to the old lady and aunt, and left the study, seeing Jia Lian waiting at the door of the study, he sighed, and walked side by side with Jia Lian.

Of course, I heard people say that there was a criticism meeting in Rongqingtang in Jia's house that night. Mrs. Wang tearfully took out 10 taels of her private money, Jia Mu took out another 3 taels, and Jia Amnesty took out 2 taels of money. I bought 15 taels, got enough [-] taels, and exchanged it for a small amount. Mr. Tuo Xia gave it to Yuan Chun so that she could have a good pregnancy in the palace, and she must give birth to a dragon fetus.

Mrs. Wang knew that Xue Pan was responsible for this matter, and scolded him half to death in her heart!Xue Pan sneezes all day, and I don't know if it's retribution!

Back home, Xue Pan told Xue Wang about his brother's concubine's proposal to marry Baochai.She was really happy, even if he was a concubine, he would still have fame, and the most important thing was that he would be able to live in a separate family in the future without having to be tortured by his mother-in-law.

Seeing his mother like this, Xue Pan reminded her that she must find someone to inquire about it. Even though it was a brother's family, but her sister was getting married, so she couldn't be too cautious.He is a man, so he pays attention to it from a different angle. As a mother, Xue Wang has to guard her sister.

Xue Wangshi listened to her son's reminder, and responded with a little embarrassment. She really only cared about being happy, but forgot that the inner houses of these literati's homes are more troublesome, even if there is no serious mother-in-law on top, but if sisters-in-law, The sister-in-law is not easy to get along with, and Baochai will have to suffer that day. All of a sudden, many terrible things appeared in Xue Wang's mind, and her face changed several times when she was frightened, leaving Xue Pan speechless. Naturally, this Is he just after the reason!
