Mother Jia of the Red Chamber is Unkind

Wang Xifeng winked at Ping'er.Ping'er hurriedly ordered the cleaning maid to follow her.After going outside, Ping'er put the scraps of paper on a silk handkerchief, wrapped it carefully, and handed it over to Second Grandma for disposal.

Wang Xifeng is not very literate, so she can't do this kind of meticulous work.This is a letter from my daughter's family, and it's not easy to hand it over to the man in front of me.Wang Xifeng asked Li Wan and Yingchun for help.It took Li Wan and Yingchun an hour to complete the splicing.

Wang Xifeng couldn't wait to lean forward to read it, and after reading the whole article, her expression changed drastically.

Li Wan and Yingchun had watched it earlier, and their expressions were not very good.Both of them looked at Wang Xifeng, intending to let her decide.

Wang Xifeng sighed and sat down frowning. "Earlier, when I saw Brother Bao written on the scrap of paper, I guessed that this girl didn't have any good intentions. Sure enough, you see, she has the face to let Daiyu pass the message for her. It's really funny. Back then, the old lady was soft-spoken. I complied with my second aunt's wish and agreed to her marriage with Brother Bao. But what happened later, they Xue family didn't want to! Those who despise our Brother Bao don't piss and take care of themselves, I am !"

Wang Xifeng was getting angry, and she didn't care whether it was appropriate or not, and scolded whenever she got a word.

After all, Yingchun is a girl's house, she lowered her head avoiding taboo, and said nothing.Li Wan pulled Wang Xifeng to persuade her not to scare Yingchun.

Only then did Wang Xifeng remember that Yingchun was here, and she said it was inappropriate.But after thinking about it, Yingchun is about to get married soon.Wang Xifeng took Yingchun's hand, smiled and apologized sweetly, and reminded Yingchun: "Every family has a few unscrupulous relatives. If the Yin family doesn't have the best, we don't have to worry about it. If there are, you learn Sister-in-law, don't give those people a chance to kick their noses in the face. Hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, it is even more ruthless to deal with these low-skinned and shameless dogs."

Yingchun was startled by Wang Xifeng's words, and stared at Wang Xifeng without blinking.

"Second brother and sister, look at you scared the second sister." Li Wan pushed Yingchun's arm.

"My good sister, my sister-in-law's words are rough and not rough, you are so smart, how can you not understand?" Wang Xifeng asked.

Yingchun came back to her senses, blinked, and said to Wang Xifeng vigilantly: "Second sister-in-law is right! I think this shameless person is their Xue family." Yingchun squinted and glanced at the letter in her hand, and handed it to Wang Xifeng , I hope she can deal with it readily.

The letter was torn up, the sentences were incomplete, and there was a sentence without a sentence. They would definitely not accept it when they got it to Xue's house.

"I can't wait to announce this letter to the public." Wang Xifeng sighed, looking at the incomplete letter paper, she regretted not being able to stop Sister Lin just now.

"It's no good for the two girls to tear their skins apart." Yingchun mused, especially for Daiyu, who is about to get married now, and her boudoir name is very important.Instead of being entangled with the Xue family's sloppy plaster and taking risks, it's better to hide away for peace.

Li Wan nodded: "Furthermore, even if you take this letter, it can't be regarded as evidence of a private relationship. She gave it to Daiyu. By mentioning Baoyu and greetings, it can be regarded as a relationship between relatives." The etiquette greetings. Don't forget, she is the second wife's biological niece."

"Hehe, you and I both know that what she cares about is definitely not family affection." Wang Xifeng sneered.

Li Wan fell silent.Although Yingchun can still listen to these things when she is married, she doesn't like to judge and keeps silent.

Wang Xifeng shook the handkerchief and said harshly: "I won't bother my ancestors about this matter, just wait and see how I remove this dog skin plaster and cut it into pieces!"

Li Wan and Yingchun both laughed, saying they would wait to see the good show arranged by Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng first arranged for someone to protect Baoyu, and whenever Baoyu had to go out, she tried to arrange for her brothers to go with her, such as Jia Lan, Jia Cong, or Jia Lian.

Sure enough, four days later, Baoyu and others suddenly ran into Xue Pan at a tea stand on the way to Fahua Temple.Jia Lan and Yin Shang, the third son of Shuntian Fu Yin, went with Baoyu.

The overlord, Xue Pan, had gotten the inside information a long time ago, and was ordered to stay on the main road to block people. He didn't know Yin Shang, but he vaguely heard someone call him "Brother Yin" and guessed his identity a little.Aunt Xue was also afraid that he would be stupid and recklessly offend someone who shouldn't be offended.Aunt Xue had long ago sent someone to find out who Baoyu often frequented, and the two brothers Yin Shang and Yin Wen of Shuntian Mansion were the number one.

After Xue Pan recognized the identities of these three people, he saw a man appearing behind them. He was dressed in plain clothes and was very plain.Perhaps because he is a bastard and vulgar, Xue Pan likes the gentle and elegant scholar in front of him the most. Besides, this man's temperament is different from that of ordinary scholars. He has a heroic spirit that no one else has, even Baoyu can't compare , making people both like and admire.

When Baoyu and Qin Zhong were on good terms, Xue Pan bumped into them once or twice on the street.

Looking at this white-faced scholar this time, even though he was a bit lonely and not as pleasing as Qin Zhong, he must have had a different flavor to taste.It's like Zhenshun's and pungent little lady, each has its own difference, especially the pungent one, which tastes good enough.

This young scholar's clothes are simple and clean, and it looks like such a good dress.People are still standing behind Baoyu and others, so they must be humble.

Xue Pan felt that the scholar in front of him should have the same status as that Qin Zhong.It's nothing more than the favored little follower of the descendants of the aristocratic family.

"Why are you here?" Baoyu asked puzzled.

Xue Pan was stunned for a moment, stepped forward and hooked Baoyu's shoulders, and said enthusiastically: "My good cousin, we haven't seen each other for a while, and I miss you so much. It's a coincidence that we can meet again today." , What a coincidence."

"We are going to Fahua Temple, where is brother Xue going?" Yin Shang glanced at Xue Pan's carriage and asked.

"I... also go to Fahua Temple." Xue Pan replied dryly, disliking Jia Lan's question.

"Fahua Temple is on the west, so the carriage head should be heading west. Why is Brother Xue's carriage facing east? Could it be that Brother Shen Xue regretted halfway and wanted to go home?" Yin Shang asked again.

Xue Pan's expression was not good, and he always felt that Yin Shang was deliberately picking things against him, and his tone was a little impatient: "There is no reason to give up halfway in worshiping Buddha. I am coming back from Fahua Temple, so the carriage faces east. Yes, I'm going back."

"Fahua Temple opened the courtyard at Chen Zhengfang, and the few of us went here to ask for the first stick of incense. If, as Brother Xue said, you came back after the photo session, could it be that Fahua Temple opened the door early for convenience? "Yin Shang asked back, then he shook his head and denied his question, "The temple's laws and regulations are strict, and even if the emperor came, there has never been any change. What a coincidence, once Brother Xue left, Fahua Temple would be able to Open early?"

"I, I..." How could Xue Pan dare to say yes, if he said it, he admitted in disguise that he was better than the emperor, and he couldn't bring disasters to destroy the nine clans?If he said no, how would he go about the lie he told before?Xue Pan's face turned pale when he was questioned by Yin Shang, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do. The only lighter option was probably to lose face on the spot.

"Brother Xue, did you go or not?" Baoyu asked persistently, as if he didn't notice Xue Pan's embarrassment.

Xue Pan hurriedly waved his hands: "I didn't go, I just made a joke with you."

"Ah--"

Xue Pan suddenly heard a sneer, which seemed like nothing, but it sent a chill down his spine.Looking for the reputation, it turned out to be that handsome scholar.Xue Pan was not afraid of him, so he raised his head and looked straight at him, first giving him a blow.

Seeing this, Jia Lan couldn't help laughing, leaning on the horse's back, keeping her face away from the crowd, and secretly smiling.Yin Shang blinked, the corners of his mouth raised high.

Baoyu frowned, pushed Xue Pan, and said in an annoyed tone, "Brother Xue, let's go back as soon as possible."

Xue Pan was still immersed in admiring the beauty, when he heard this sentence, he immediately came back to his senses, and asked Baoyu in an innocent tone: "Eh? Why don't you take me with you when you go to the temple? Hehe, didn't I tell you just now?" , I haven't had time to go yet, so I just rest in this tea shed. As for the direction where the carriage stops, the driver is fooling around, so don't worry about it."

"Oh, who cares?" The plain-clothed boy raised his eyebrows and said lightly, but his eyes only glanced at Xue Pan.

Xue Pan was amused, and looked at the handsome scholar carefully, he was quite tempered. "It's you that I'm talking about, how about it?"

While speaking, the plain-clothed youth had already mounted his horse, and cast a disdainful glance at Xue Pan.

Xue Pan laughed out loud, his face beaming with joy.At the same time, the young man in plain clothes swung his whip and rode his horse straight towards Xue Pan.Xue Pan was so frightened that he turned pale with fright, screamed, and ran away in a panic.In the end, his mouth was fixed on the black nose of the jujube horse.

The centaurs kissed affectionately.

"What are you doing! How dare you!" Xue Pan scolded.

Without further ado, the plain-clothed boy swung his whip at Xue Pan, and a strip of the brocade robe was torn apart, revealing the middle coat inside.

Xue Pan clasped his waist and yelled, scolding him angrily: "What are you doing? Why did you hit me? If you don't apologize to me today, I will send you to see an official."

"Haha, which official do you want to meet?" Yin Shang was delighted and smiled even more.

Yin Shang is the son of Yin of Shuntian Mansion, Xue Pan was very dissatisfied when he heard that he obviously wanted to help this poor scholar.But his father is in charge of the entire capital's judiciary, he can't say "no" at all, but he has to talk softly when he feels uncomfortable: "He beat me, Brother Yin won't be so partial to help others, right? "

"Don't dare!"

Xue Pan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing these three words.

Yin Shang continued: "Brother Xue thinks highly of me, how can I have the right to help him, only he can help me."

Xue Pan was puzzled, seeing Yin Shang's ambiguous smile was very sinister, so he turned his head to look at Jia Lan and Baoyu.Jia Lan had held back her laughter so much that she was clutching her stomach.

Baoyu looked at Xue Pan with hatred, shook his head straight to the door, and finally threw out a sentence that made Xue Pan feel like a bolt from the blue: "This master is the first-class guard in front of the imperial court, the son of Zhang Taifu, Zhang Lan, Mr. Zhang."

☆, Chapter 102

"Zhang..." Xue Pan's surprised eyes almost popped out, his throat seemed to be choked on a stone, and he couldn't make a sound.

"Brother Xue, do you know that you just contradicted the imperial court official?" Yin Shang sneered.

Zhang Lan let out a barely audible "tch", turned the horse's head, and returned to its original position.

Xue Pan turned pale with shock, not knowing what to say.

"I heard that you are the eldest son of the Xue family of the imperial merchant?" Zhang Lan's voice suddenly became calm, and the tone was very pleasant, but there was no emotion in his tone.

Xue Pan's heart pounded, only to realize that what he did was representing the Xue family.When the other party asked this question, did they want to put the blame on the Xue family?What can I do, if my mother finds out, I have to scold him like a dog.

Zhang Lan waited for a while, and saw that Xue Pan was in a daze, and did not reply to his words.A smile suddenly appeared on the originally solemn face.The handsome and handsome man smiled brightly, good-looking is good-looking, but it always makes people panic inexplicably.

Baoyu gave Xue Pan a few good-hearted winks, and seeing that he was as dumb as a log, unable to do anything, she replied for him, "Exactly."

Zhang Lan glanced at Baoyu and smiled again, as if he had sensed another meaning from his answer.

Baoyu had a premonition that what Zhang Lan was thinking was quite different from what he had expressed at first.Baoyu was a little anxious, thinking that brother Xue treated him well back then, and wanted to persuade him.

Yin Shang and Jia Lan don't want the farce to continue and want to leave.

Baoyu boldly said: "Wait a minute, I will say a few words to Brother Xue, just a few words, and we will go."

Zhang Lan was expressionless and had no opinion.Jia Lan and Yin Shang had no objection when they saw him, and the two even had no objection.

Baoyu took Xue Pan to the corner.

Xue Pan came back to his senses and took the opportunity to ask Baoyu for help.Who is Zhang Lan, walking in front of the emperor in a serious manner, but the Xue family can never afford to offend someone who can talk in front of the emperor.

Baoyu was worried about this in his heart, and scolded Xue Pan: "You think I am the Buddha of the Tathagata, who can save you from disasters? You, what can I say about you? That master is just when the spring breeze is in full swing, and he is young and vigorous. Why did you take you If you look into it, you will definitely not be able to get around you. Let me advise you, run away quickly. Take Aunt Xue and Sister Bao and leave Beijing as soon as possible, maybe you still have a chance of being saved."

Xue Pan was afraid, but he really didn't believe that a brat could do anything to their promising Xue family.Xue Pan pulled his torn clothes to show Baoyu: "Look, he should be angry with me for doing this to me. What else is he thinking about? Could it be that he is willing to dig up the graves of my eight generations of ancestors?"

"You, who were you staring at just now!" Baoyu said angrily.

"I——I didn't stare at anyone." Xue Pan stiffened his neck, but refused to admit it, what can you do?

"Okay, you can do it. If I mention you this way, my heart is partial to you, and you are still fooling me like this. Come on, there is nothing to say. At worst, I don't have you as a cousin." Baoyu hated Xue Pan for being a dou who couldn't help him, But at this moment, he couldn't speak clearly in a few words.This time he is really powerless, I only hope that his mother under the nine springs will not blame him.

Regardless of Xue Pan's yelling, Baoyu simply turned around and got on the horse swiftly.In recent years, the old lady of Rongfu has asked her husband to teach the children, not only teaching them poetry, books and articles, but also riding and archery.Baoyu has practiced for a while, and his skills are agile.

The same was true for Yin Shang, Zhang Lan, Jia Lan and others. The three of them had been waiting for him on the horse, and when they saw him walking this way, they all rode their horses towards Fahua Temple.Xue Pan chased him to catch Baoyu, but he was in vain.He watched as Baoyu got on the horse nimbly, whipped the horse, and in the blink of an eye, the galloping hoofs threw dust on his face.

"Come back...cough cough..." Xue Pan coughed twice angrily, stomped his feet in anger, and went back to the tea shed cursing.

Seeing that the plan had failed, the boy asked Xue Pan with a sad face what to do.

"I'm not a goddamn god, how can I go back as Second Master Bao?" Xue Pan cursed angrily.

The boys shrank their necks and stood quietly.

Xue Pan scolded for a while, and most of his anger subsided, but he was still worried about how to explain to Aunt Xue when he went back.When he was about to leave the house this morning, Xue Pan repeatedly promised Aunt Xue that he would bring Baoyu back.In his imagination, it would be easy to bring back the good-tempered and soft-tempered Baoyu.It never occurred to me that besides Baoyu, there are two thorns today.Especially the one surnamed Zhang is simply a jerk.

The boy Li Jing usually has many ideas, and when everyone dared not provoke Xue Pan, they would wink and let Li Jing stand out.Li Jing's eyeballs rolled, and he lost his mind, "Master, those people have left, and the matter is over, calm down."

"What a fart!" Xue Pan cursed angrily.

Li Jing chuckled, and softly asked Xue Pan: "Aren't you afraid that your wife will find out and blame you for scolding you? This is not easy to handle, let's keep this matter from my wife."

"Hiding it? You should be able to hide it, she is the one who asked me to come here."

Li Jing leaned close to Xue Pan's ear and smiled, "Madam asked you to come, but you came late, and you haven't seen Second Master Bao after waiting for a long time."

Xue Pan was stunned when he heard the words, and felt that this idea was really good.Immediately happy, I made up a decent set of words and went back to fool Aunt Xue.As for Baoyu's warning words before leaving, Xue Pan had long since forgotten them.

……

"What, you didn't stop anyone?" Aunt Xue stood up from her seat in shock when she heard the news.She couldn't quite believe it.The Rong Mansion is no longer what it used to be, everyone in the mansion is cautious, and they dare not let go when they have extra money to earn.Aunt Xue got this news after asking a lot of money, how many people she sent to follow up, and tricked the inconspicuous little people in the Rong Mansion.

"That's impossible. That tea stall is the only way from the capital to Fahua Temple. There is absolutely no other choice. Pan'er, are you bluffing me?"

"No, how could my son lie to you? I really didn't see it. Not only did I not knock, but the servants who followed my son didn't see it." Xue Pan is best at lying, and he has fooled Aunt Xue many times. Nothing troubles her.

"How is this possible?" Aunt Xue lowered her voice and muttered reluctantly.

Xue Pan also knew that his mother cared about this matter, but thinking about Baoyu's arrogance to him before, and his decisiveness when he left, I really hate him.Xue Pan is sure that he will not like this cousin anymore.Seeing that Aunt Xue was still struggling with doubts, Xue Pan hurriedly said: "Maybe he suddenly changed the date and left earlier. Or, he went to Fahua Temple the day before, stayed for one night, and went directly to offer incense. Anyway, his son is not here. Saw him on the road."

"What you said is not impossible." Aunt Xue pondered, and suddenly waited for Xue Pan, "Since you thought of this time, why didn't you go to Fahua Temple to have a look, why did you come back like this?"

"My son didn't dare to act rashly without your order." Xue Pan chuckled and said something nice to Aunt Xue by the way, so that she would forget about that matter quickly.

"Stupid, you are really dumb." Aunt Xue remembered to slap the table straight, and hurriedly sent someone to block the road. If she really had a chance to see Baoyu, she would pull her over.When he comes, everything will be easy to handle. Aunt Xue feels that there are countless ways to win Baoyu into obedience.

"Don't talk about me, didn't you entrust someone to deliver a letter to Rong Mansion two days ago? What kind of cook relationship did you leave, but there is a result?" Xue Pan asked.

Aunt Xue frowned when she thought of what had happened, and shook her head: "Not yet. I think she is a small person, and it will take some effort to send a letter."

At this time, a maid came in with a letter.When Aunt Xue saw the paper in the servant girl's hand, she asked excitedly: "Did the Rongfu reply?" After the words were spoken, Aunt Xue finally identified where the letter came from.Aunt Xue frowned, her face full of embarrassment.

"This is?" Xue Pan asked knowingly, which made Aunt Xue's expression even more embarrassing.Xue Pan hurriedly asked the maid: "What's going on? Forgot to deliver the letter?"

The servant girl looked at Xue Pan helplessly, and slandered in her heart: Uncle Xue, can you stop being so naive?

"The letter was returned by the Rong Mansion, and the old lady asked someone to return it." The little maid said in a low voice.

"Old lady?" Aunt Xue tightly grasped the armrest of the sandalwood red chair with both hands, feeling like she was sitting on pins and needles.

"Yes!" The servant girl nodded, and said immediately, "That's what the housekeeper of the Rong Mansion who came to deliver the letter said."

"Housekeeper? From Zhou Rui's family?" Aunt Xue stretched her neck and asked.

The maid nodded again.

"Okay, it's just in time, I'm so angry that I have nowhere to vent it, so call her!" Aunt Xue shouted loudly.

Xue Pan was gearing up to help Aunt Xue, even a little excited in his heart.It felt like the Xue family had been aggrieved these days, and they were finally going to let it go.

Zhou Rui's family came in and nodded slightly, as a salute to Aunt Xue. "Please, Madam Xue, don't try to push any bad ideas to the Rong Mansion. The old lady is very busy and has no patience to deal with you."

Aunt Xue saw that she felt very uncomfortable at first, because she wanted to cling to the relationship of Rong Mansion, so she endured it until now.Listening to Zhou Rui's family's merciless words today, and thinking about her sad elder sister and the shameless betrayal committed by Zhou Rui's family, Aunt Xue was furious. "You really have the guts to come, you are just a slave, dare to say such things to me, are you tired?"

"The servant has a long face, so he dares to come." Zhou Rui's family said neither humble nor overbearing.

Aunt Xue narrowed her eyes, "Tsk tsk, this thick-skinned person is really not a good person. Huh, that's right, otherwise how could he become a bitch who betrayed his master."

"To this day, slaves don't understand what a 'master' is. In the past, hehe, I was just rolling around in the dung pile, blinded by the shit. Thanks to the old lady, I was rescued from the fire. Everyone stinks, put The pickles in the mansion have been cleaned up. Some stinky feces outside the mansion do not know what is good or bad, and want to squeeze in secretly. Little do they know that the stench on my body has already spread everywhere, and everyone knows it, and by the way It's so disgusting." Zhou Rui's family said, covering their noses as if they were disgusted.

Aunt Xue was so angry that she trembled all over, she pointed at Zhou Rui's family and was speechless.Xue Pan hurriedly supported his mother, and called for someone to tie up Zhou Rui's family and beat him.

"I expected that your mansion will not handle personnel affairs, so I am prepared." Zhou Rui's family clapped their hands, and four men with knives came in immediately.

"Hey, if you want to do it, who doesn't have a knife!" Xue Pan immediately shouted.

Zhou Rui's family smiled: "Everyone, see clearly who they are."

The four men took out their ID badges from their pockets and hung them out.

Xue Pan and Aunt Xue squinted their eyes and saw that it was a servant from the Shuntian Mansion!

"Thanks to the old lady's fortune-telling, this slave's life has been saved." The back of Zhou Rui's family patted their chests in fear.

Four yamen servants stepped forward to hold Xue Pan up.

"You... what are you doing?" Aunt Xue exclaimed.

"The four of us witnessed with our own eyes and ears that Uncle Xue intends to murder the housekeeper of the Rong Mansion. Forgive me, Madam, I am just waiting for business." After the Yacha finished speaking, he forcefully pushed Xue Pan out.

Xue Pan screamed for help, but Aunt Xue ran after her weeping bitterly, but she didn't pay attention to her feet, and she tripped over the threshold.Zhou Rui's family walked past Aunt Xue lightly, and said goodbye.

Aunt Xue was trembling with anger, and was finally helped up. She looked helplessly at her son who was dragged away and cried bitterly.

The four yamen servants looked at the gold ingot and were stunned.

Both Xue Pan and Aunt Xue saw that there was something going on, and they were overjoyed and overjoyed.

Under the eyes of the Xue family's mother and son, the leading yacha said in a leisurely tone: "Trying to bribe an official will be a more serious crime."

When the mother and son heard the words, their brains exploded, and their entire faces were about to split open.

At this moment, Baochai, who heard the commotion in the backyard, couldn't help but came to visit. Seeing this situation, she frowned and asked in puzzlement, "What's the matter?"
