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

"Brother, I saw that you were worried when you mentioned Mei Hanlin, but why?"

"Oh, this matter, you will know sooner or later!"

Xue Pan thought of the bad things about Mei Hanlin's family that his senior brother said, and he also had a headache.In the past, there was always some worry, but Baoqin was not in front of him, and he didn't have much emotion to worry about others, so it has been delayed until now. Now Baoqin is a lively and pretty girl at home, and she has a good temper. How about letting Xue Pan let go and let her jump into the fire pit?

"Brother, if there is anything inappropriate, I would like to ask you to point me out. We went to Beijing this time for Qin'er's marriage. My mother was ill at home. The doctor diagnosed and treated her, but it was phlegm disease. Now I have to be careful and raise her." If you want to marry Qin'er as soon as possible, it will save you troubles, and Qin'er will have to observe mourning for another three years. At that time, she will be old, but it will be difficult to go out!"

"How old is she and why is she so anxious? How is auntie's illness? He should bring her to Beijing together. This place is at the foot of the emperor. If she relies on finding an imperial doctor to take auntie's pulse, maybe it will be good."

"I thought so too, but we didn't understand the situation in Beijing in Nanli. We only thought that my aunt was living with her relatives with her elder brother and elder sister Bao, so how dare she bring her mother to bother her?"

Although Xue Biao's words were cryptic, Xue Pan couldn't understand what he meant.But that was all a bastard thing done by his predecessor, now that he has a grievance, where should he complain?I can only smile wryly.

"Then did you bring the marriage letter between Qin'er and Mr. Mei's family?"

Xue Pan left these bad debts behind and continued to pay attention.

"Of course there is. I sorted it out in the past two days. Nong, this is this one."

Xue Pan took the marriage certificate handed over by Xue Biao, and opened it, but his expression was very bad!The second son of the Mei family just got married last year, and he married the prostitute daughter of Mr. Wang's family who is also Hanlin. Now that the child is just full moon, how can he marry Bao Qin!

"elder brother……"

Xue Biao looked at his cousin's face very ugly, and yelled with some concern.

"Second brother, you have to be mentally prepared. Mei Qing, the second son of the Mei family, got married last year, and now his child is full moon..."

"This, how could this happen?" Xue Biao asked in great surprise, "That year when my father took our family for a stroll, he saved his family when he passed by Jingzhou. The marriage is said to be a repayment for the life-saving grace of the father. Although the father thinks it is unnecessary, but the Mei family is full of enthusiasm, and the father also thinks that Mei Qing is a self-motivated person, so he agreed to the marriage! How dare they..."

"Why don't you dare? Now that the Xue family is in decline, your father and uncle have both passed away, and your brother is useless. He is not the leader of the Xue family, so he is naturally bullied!"

Xue Pan laughed at himself.

"Brother, why do you do this? Others don't know, how can I not know? The Mei family is too ignorant! I want to come to ask and see how their family will behave in the future!"

"Nonsense! You're having a good time, but have you thought about Qin'er's reputation? If the trouble becomes serious, how will she marry in the future?"

Xue Pan straightened his face and shouted.Xue Biao was only furious for a while, when he heard his elder brother scolding, he immediately became clear, and bowed to Xue Pan very ashamedly,

"My brother is reckless! But I really can't swallow this breath!"

After his father passed away, his mother was ill again, so he naturally carried all the burdens of the family, and now he suddenly has a motivated elder brother, which is a bit willful.Even he himself didn't realize it.

"The most important thing now is to divorce the Mei family. If you want to teach the Mei family a lesson, I won't stop you, but you must be strong! Don't you understand the reason why people don't fight with officials since ancient times?"

"Yes, I understand. Brother taught me a lesson, I am just a small Juren now, how can I fight?"

Thinking of this, Xue Biao felt a little sad.

"Why are you depressed? How old are you? Next year will be the year of the big competition. You are now preparing for the exams. For other things, naturally, your brother will decide for you."

"Brother... Ever since my father passed away, I always felt that I was alone and helpless, but now I don't want to..."

Xue Biao said to Xue Pan with some sobs,

"Okay, man, man, naturally you want to protect your relatives. Your brother was a fool in the past, so please forgive me for what he did. In the future, we brothers will support each other. In this huge capital, we must always reorganize my Xue family. It's been a long time!"

"My brother listens to my brother, study hard."

"Okay, then I will prepare all the equipment for my brother, so that you don't have to worry about it!"

The two brothers had a good discussion, but things didn't go their way completely. Xue Pan asked someone to send a post to Mei's residence, but the Mei family refused to see each other.

Xue Pan had no choice but to find out that Mei Hanlin was taking a rest today, so he brought Xue Biao to the door without hesitation.Blocked Mei Hanlin who was about to go out.

In desperation, Mei Hanlin had no choice but to welcome the two of his brothers in. They were all smiles and very affectionate, calling each of them "Nephew". Xue Pan could only feel how thick-skinned these scholars were.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Mei Qing, the second child of the Mei family, still didn't show up. Xue Pan also annoyed him saying something like "Zhihu Zhe also dropped the book bag", so he put down the teacup, straight to the point,

"Master Mei, we two brothers are taking the liberty to visit today, but it is because of our sister's divorce. I also know that the second son Mei Qing held a full moon banquet last month, and the marriage with my sister cannot be held. I don't know. Where is my younger sister's Geng Tie? Please trouble Mrs. Mei."

Mei Hanlin was taken aback, but he quickly came to his senses, waved his hand, waited for the servants in the room to leave, cleared his throat, and said,

"Nephew Xue Xian, I also know that this is the old man's fault. It was just that the second child got married in a hurry in order to cheer for my mother, but I am sorry for Lingmei. It's just that the Mei and Xue families have always been on good terms. The matter of retiring the engagement is absolutely unacceptable! How can I be worthy of the passing old brother Xue?"

"Then according to Mrs. Mei's wishes, what should I do? Please tell me clearly!"

Xue Pan frowned, and spoke after a while.

"Nephew Xue Xian also knows that there is a third child in my family who is about the same age as Lingmei. Do you think so?"

"Hehe... the third son Mei?"

Xue Pan was actually laughed out of anger. No one in Beijing knew that the third son of Mei was a concubine who was raised and abandoned by Mrs. Mei. Prince Nan'an nearly broke his leg and threw it on the street.The Mei family took their son back without even daring to let go, and now they actually want to marry his sister, what a dream!

"Master Mei, the Second Young Master Mei is going to participate in the Grand Competition in February next year. If I risk my sister's reputation, I will sue him for repenting and remarrying. How much do you think he has in the future? Your in-law, Mr. Wang, isn't that right?" What are your thoughts?"

"Your sister's reputation is naturally more valuable than dog gold, I'm not afraid of it!"

Mei Hanlin also put away the smiling face just now, with a sullen face, lowered his voice and said,

"Haha! Alright, that's good, then I'll wait for you to come and beg me! I'll give you three days' time, and after three days, if my sister's Geng Tie hasn't arrived, we'll talk again!"

"Good to go!"

However, Mei Hanlin picked up the tea leisurely and took a sip, not paying attention to the two brothers.

After Xue Biao came out of Mei's house, he almost went crazy with anger!If his brother hadn't been winking just now, he would have beaten that old guy up!It's really nothing, it's in vain that my father went all the way to save his family!

"elder brother……"

Xue Biao asked angrily, obviously dissatisfied with Xue Pan's behavior just now.

"What's the rush? Don't worry, Qin'er's Geng Tie will definitely be sent back in three days."

Xue Pan was calm and relaxed, and he didn't show the slightest sense of righteous indignation just now. He already knew the character of the Mei family. Since he was going to visit, he naturally had to make thorough preparations.

Xue Biao was dubious, but he had a dark eye for Jingzhong and was not as familiar with his brother, so he had to listen to him and wait for three days.

Three days later, sure enough, Mei Hanlin brought back Baoqin's marriage letter with two streaks of blood on his face. He hated the Xue family even more, and declared on the spot that the Xuemei family would have nothing to do with each other in the future.

Xue Pan sent Mei Hanlin out with a good temper, noncommittal.No matter what, there is absolutely no possibility of Xuemei and Mei's getting along well!

Xue Biao looked at his brother in surprise, could it be that his brother is a fortune teller?

"Brother, this..."

"Well, to put it bluntly, it's just a trick. After you went to Beijing, I asked someone to investigate the Mei family. Guess what I found?"

"I can't guess, it's nothing more than trivial matters!"

Xue Biao shook his head and said to his brother.

"It's really a trivial matter, but it made me find a very funny thing. Don't look at Mei Hanlin showing off his power outside, yelling and shouting, in fact, he is very fearful! His wife is the daughter of a general. , There are so many tricks in the house, Mei Hanlin can't even say that he can't talk to him, so why not, it's naturally the temper of being beaten!"

"Brother, you won't be..."

"Yes, it's exactly what you think. He bought a woman from the Mei family, told Mrs. Mei that Master Mei wanted to give Qin'er to the third son of his family, and exaggerated how rich Qin'er's dowry was. Mrs. Mei has always hated bastards, how could he get such benefits! Furthermore, it was Mrs. Mei who regretted the marriage back then, and he changed the marriage for his son behind Mrs. Mei's back. Although Mrs. Mei beat him up afterwards, there was nothing he could do! "

"It deserves it! You should give him another hard blow."

Xue Biao looked at his younger sister's Geng invitation letter and the engagement token, and said through gritted teeth.

"Okay, remember, this matter is over, don't make any more disturbances, our woman is always at a disadvantage, this is the way of the world, and this is the only way to go. Also, if you can't completely knock down the other party, then you Put away those hatreds!"

"What my brother taught me is that I wrote it down."

"Oh, just write it down. In fact, let alone you, even I am angry and hate, but what can I do? Just wait for the future!"

Xue Pan sighed, this is the only way to go about this matter.Fortunately, the marriage was withdrawn. If the Mei family did not withdraw the marriage and spread some rumors, then Baoqin's life would be ruined.

However, swallowing one's anger now doesn't mean one has to swallow one's anger for the rest of one's life. There is always a gap, and there is always a time to retaliate.Today's Xue Pan is no longer that Xiaobai who is always anxious. Under Chen Jinsheng's teaching, if he deliberately wants to plot against someone, although it can't be [-]% or [-]%, it is [-]% possible.
