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

Xue scorpion exam

Just as Xue Biao was preparing for the exam, Xue Pan was trying to please his familiar fiancée in various ways, time flew by, and it was the end of the year in a blink of an eye, Baochai was now eight months pregnant, walking tremblingly , the people who watched were terrified, and only treated her as a fragile object.

The new year is coming, even though Baochai is married, the family is not reunited.But the three members of Xue Biao's family are all in Beijing now, and Xue Wang's mother and son are not alone, but they are even more lively than before.

Xue Pan took Xue Biao to let people open the ancestral hall in the backyard of Beijing. The two brothers took the servants to clean up and kept busy. Xue Pan prepared it all by himself in the past few years. Now there is Xue Biao who can help , Xue Pan suddenly felt different, and felt that the burden was much lighter.

As for Xue Wang, he and Xue Biao's mother prepared offerings in the inner house. Although Xue Biao's mother was ill, she didn't want to be unhappy when she was young, so she had to brace herself up and do what she could with her sister-in-law. Baoqin is more of a troublemaker. She is young, and Baochai has left the court again, so everyone in the Xue family dotes on her everywhere and let her, especially Xue Pan, who used to think that Baochai was too dignified, but now A lawless Baoqin came, and he felt that this was only the attitude of a young daughter, so he pampered him everywhere on weekdays, and he would not let his aunt restrain him.

Now that Baoqin has her elder brother's backing, she doesn't want her mother to worry about her, and she is even more mischievous than usual. Seeing her like this, although the elders and brothers dislike her verbally, they are happy in their hearts, so that's good.

In a blink of an eye, it is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. Under the command of the masters, the Xue family has changed the door gods, hung up couplets, and repainted peach charms. There is a new atmosphere everywhere, and everyone is in a better mood. .

Especially the servants of the Xue family, the masters are generous, and after the Chinese New Year, each of them gets a tael of silver, and each of them gets a new padded jacket. Such a good thing is rare.

In the early morning of the [-]th, everyone in the Xue family went to the ancestral hall with offerings such as wine soup, auspicious fruits, and wishful cakes.In the solemn atmosphere, Xue Pan and Xue Biao knelt down in front of the portrait of their ancestors...

"It's Chinese New Year, and our family is reunited. We all ate this cup together, which is a celebration."

After worshiping the ancestors, the whole family naturally gathered together. Because none of the Xue Pan brothers were married and they were all close friends, the Xue family did not separate. They only set up two tables in the flower hall, one table for each male and female.

As soon as he sat down, girls and daughters-in-law immediately came up to serve wine and vegetables. Xue Pan let everyone go down, and said,

"I've ordered all the people who add food tonight, you go eat too, don't wait here, just keep an eye on last night's food and don't drink."

"Slaves, thank you for your grace."

The chief manager of the Xue family took the servants down, leaving only the family in the flower hall.Naturally, everyone did not disagree with Xue Pan's proposal, even the youngest Baoqin was eager to try it, but they were afraid that her mother would not let her drink because she was young, so they kept looking at her mother.

"Don't worry, Qin'er, it's the New Year's Eve, and the fruit wine I'm serving is the fruit wine produced in my own shop. It's not high in strength, and it's very suitable for female relatives."

"Thank you brother."

Baoqin tilted her head and said.

"It's Chinese New Year. Although our family has occasional twists and turns, it's smooth. We are grateful to our ancestors for their protection. I hope that in the coming year, the tad brother's exams will go well, and our Xue family can produce a Jinshi. It will be the glory of the Xue family! "

"My younger brother is doing his best. Why doesn't my elder brother take the exam? If he takes the exam, he will be much better than his younger brother!"

"I, forget it."

Xue Pan smiled when he heard the words, he used the excuse of taking the scientific examination to move Xue's family out, but now he has no intention of going to the scientific examination at all, he just doesn't want to suffer the pain.Besides, people are always a little afraid of the unknown. Everyone described the scientific research as terrifying, and Xue Pan didn't want to accept it by himself.

Xue Wang sat at the same table with his younger siblings, nieces and daughters, and Xue Pan brothers at the same table. They ate and drank, talking and laughing loudly, and returned home having a good time.

At midnight, Xue Pan ordered all kinds of firecrackers and fireworks to be set off, and Xue Wang and Xue Biao's mother couldn't bear it, and they rested early on the kang.At this moment, under the service of the girl and mother, I watched the fireworks again, and then they dispersed.

The two Xue Pan brothers naturally changed places again, continued to exchange cups and cups, kept vigil and talked heart-to-heart, which was considered joyful.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was another bustling scene, with guests and drinks everywhere, Xue's family didn't have any relatives in Beijing, only Wang's and Jia's.

It's just that Wang Ziteng is not in the capital now, there is only one Wang Ren, and he returned to Jinling with his daughter's family years ago, leaving only one or two people guarding the mansion.

As for Jia's family, the relationship between the two families is not very close now. Although Xue Pan also came to visit, he just sat down for a while and then came out.

The rest are all seniors and brothers, and moreover, they are the students or parents of Qinghua Academy. Xue Pan was afraid of these troubles, so he went out early to avoid them.

On the second day of the new year, when the married girl returned to her natal home, Mrs. Xue sent her to watch at the door early in the morning, waiting for Baochai's young couple.

But they waited and waited, but Ma Wu Baochai was nowhere to be seen. Finally, it was almost lunch time, and the couple came late. Seeing their daughter with a big belly, Xue Wang had no intention of blaming her, so she just said I didn't think carefully, I should have come to see Baochai.

"Mom, I also want to go back to my own home. I always feel flustered. I feel at ease when I come back."

"Okay, that's just right. Your brother also said in the past two days, let me go to your house to live in your house for a few days, just worrying about your uneasiness."

"That's good. I'm afraid that mom only loves her brother now, and doesn't care about her daughter."

"Don't let your brother hear this, or he will laugh at you!"

Xue Wang looked at her daughter's ruddy complexion. Although she was pregnant, her appearance did not change much.I am very satisfied in my heart, this must be well taken care of by my son-in-law!

And in the front yard, seeing his sister-in-law getting thinner, he joked,

"What's the matter with you? It's Chinese New Year, maybe you're hungry?"

"Brother, don't mention it, no, the lady is about to give birth, I always wake up several times in the middle of the night every day, just because I'm afraid..."

"Okay, I'll let my mother stay at your house for a few days in two days, and I'll put your heart at ease."

"That's good, I'm going to trouble my mother-in-law."

Ma Wu was overjoyed and said.

"Okay, let's come to the table quickly, my brother has prepared the best Lihuabai, just waiting for you, brother-in-law."

"Okay, how is the tad brother preparing for the exam?"

"It's just so-so, just do your best and try not to be ashamed."

"There are people in front of you who are asking for advice. You are someone who has experienced it, so you can't hide your secrets. You will tell my little brother about your experience later."

Xue Pan joked with Xue Biao and Ma Wudao with a smile.

"It's natural. After drinking the good wine from big brother, how dare you hide your secrets?"

Ma Wu also replied with a smile.

The three of them went to the table together, but the Xue family hired a small theater troupe early this year, and they were singing a few lively plays outside.When it came to the exciting part, both Ma Wu and Xue Biao listened with gusto, but Xue Pan couldn't understand what was going on, and he didn't know why they were applauding, but the reward was well prepared , there are three full baskets of copper coins, which made the singers even more energetic, somersaulting Lao Gao.

Naturally, someone took care of the inner house, Baochai went back to his home, ate hot milk, leaned on the couch, listened to Baoqin playing treasures there, and listened to the little tunes outside, naturally all kinds of relaxation and comfort .

Pregnant women should not be frightened, and they should not be too happy. In short, it is better to be peaceful. Xue Wang is also afraid that if she has a stomach like hers now, if there are any troubles, the consequences will be unimaginable.Let the singer stay far away, as long as he can hear the sound from a distance.

Dawdling until the afternoon, Ma Wu went back by himself, Baochai stayed in the mansion, and Ming'er went back with Xue Wangshi.

After carefully explaining several minor matters in the inner house to Baoqin and asking her to take care of her mother, Xue Wang and her daughter went to the son-in-law's house.

With her sitting in town, not to mention Baochai, even Ma Wu felt that his heart was settled a lot, as if it meant to fix the sea god needle.

After Baochai became pregnant, all the affairs in the mansion were assigned, and she didn't pay much attention to the quarreling among servants. Nanny Yang would take care of it for her. Now that her mother is here, she is even more It's all kinds of relaxation.

I don't want to think that it's just after the fifteenth day, but I feel that my stomach is heavy these two days, and the fetus moves from time to time. The experienced Xue Wang knows that this is a sign that she is about to give birth. Those who are about to give birth are very busy.

Baochai's mother-in-law, Mrs. Ma, was also coming to sit in town. She had just left the day before yesterday, and she was afraid that Mrs. Xue would be uncomfortable if her in-laws lived here, so she took her two sons-in-law and daughters-in-law back.

One day, just after Baochai finished a small bowl of chicken soup and rice, she felt a severe stomachache, so she cried out tremblingly.

All the maids below, including Nanny Yang, have never given birth, so there is no clue, Xue Wang quickly stopped the messy underground people, and gave orders calmly.

With someone starting, everyone naturally calmed down. They started looking for hot water, preparing food, and looking for doctors and women, and they became orderly.

Ma Wu and Xue Pan who were in the Hanlin Academy and Academy naturally also got the news. The two of them hurriedly dropped what they were doing and rode back home. How could this inner city dare to run wild?Xue Pan was quite annoyed that he hadn't thought carefully, maybe it would be faster by car?

As a result, he met Ma Wu who was even more embarrassed than him on the way. Seeing him, Ma Wu rushed over as if he had a backbone.

"Brother, my lady..."

"Don't worry, it's okay. Let's rush back here. The baby may have been born. Don't think about it and scare yourself!"

Xue Pan was also worried, but at least he was able to calm down. Seeing that Ma Wu's robe was also dirty and his hair was messed up, he comforted him.

The two of them didn't have another word, and they galloped away, which was not too slow.As soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he saw a servant running around like a headless chicken. When he saw his master came back, the man rushed towards him as if seeing a savior.

"Master, you are finally back, go in quickly!"
