Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

Because of Aunt Xue's wise move in advance, this farce was only confined to Bo Yang's small yard, and naturally there were only a few people who knew about it.

Although Aunt Xue's attitude in the next few days and the wound on Xue Pan's forehead indicated that something must have happened, the servants could only guess in their hearts.As for the Li Nu family who knew the inside story, Aunt Xue sent them to Zhuangzi after returning.

Aunt Xue is credited for Li Nu's family telling the story, but it is also a disaster to keep them.Simply send it to Zhuangzi in other places, even if they gossip, no one will believe it.But as compensation, she named Li Nu's father as the head of the village, so the family has nothing to complain about.

They were afraid that Xue Pan would be angry and attack regardless, but now that they are far away from the capital, they don't have to worry about it.In their vision, after a few years, things faded away, and naturally it was a chance to come back.

However, although the people in Xue's residence didn't know exactly what happened, the atmosphere in the house was obviously different in the past few days.Especially those who served Aunt Xue didn't even dare to speak loudly.

Even Baochai and Daiyu, who devoted themselves to studying with Mammy, noticed the difference.

Daiyu thought carefully, and guessed that it was the Xue family's family affairs, and it was not easy for her half daughter to interfere, so she just pretended not to know.On the other hand, when Baochai came to pay her respects, she had a closed conversation with Aunt Xue for half a day, and finally asked the truth from her mouth.

——Originally, this kind of thing should not have been told to her.But Aunt Xue was really holding back, she had no idea of ​​her own, and Baochai was always reliable, so she couldn't hold back in the end.

When Baochai first heard about it, she was shocked.

However, when I think about it carefully, I feel that every place seems to be able to match.In the past, she always felt that her brother and Bo Yang were too close to each other, and sometimes even she thought it was inappropriate.In fact, these two people did not hide it at all. Many details that were not thought about at the time, now looking back, there are clues everywhere.

If you want to ask Baochai's attitude towards this matter, she naturally feels very complicated.Not to say that she agrees, this kind of thing is not in line with the ethics she has learned since she was a child, and it is her brother and Bo Yang who are closest, trusted and even a little admired by her, if she objects, Even if he was saying that both elder brother and elder brother Yang had done wrong, Baochai didn't want to think so.

"What does Mom mean here?" She couldn't help asking Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue recalled Xue Pan's words, she couldn't help but wiped her tears and said, "What else can I do? I can't change your brother's life and death, but I won't change it. How can I really force him to death? What a crime! I knew it... "

If we knew this earlier, what could we do?

Seeing Aunt Xue's behavior, Baochai couldn't help persuading, "Mom, don't say such things. With my brother's temperament, if I hadn't met Yang, I don't know what kind of disaster will happen, and I don't think it will be better than now." .At any rate, my brother has stood up now, and he never fell down the lintel of our Xue family."

"So what? There are three unfilial acts, and having no offspring is the greatest. In the future, I will go underground. How can I have the face to meet your father?" Aunt Xue cried again, "My son, and you, if this matter gets out, Let the Princess Palace know about your marriage..."

She didn't go on, but Baochai already understood.

The eldest princess's mansion will not want a daughter-in-law who has a bad reputation and a bad family style.

Baochai has always had a strong temper, and he is no worse than his elder brother in self-awareness. It is not that he has no plans for his future.She was naturally happy to have a marriage with the county king, so she studied with the nuns, no matter how hard or tiring she was, she never complained.

So after hearing Aunt Xue's words, she couldn't help being slightly stunned, but now that she has an older brother to support the family business, the pressure is a little less, and her temperament is a little more lively and straightforward as a girl, but the idea of ​​getting ahead is not in the original book. So strong.What's more, when I think about it carefully, this marriage is good, but I was selected because of my excellence, but the bonus points from Bo Yang and my brother are indispensable.

The two surnames are good in marriage, even if this matter separates her elder brother and Bo Yang and covers up the matter, and she is married successfully, she still needs the support of her natal family.However, without Brother Yang, what the elder brother will become is still unknown.If he can't continue to support the lintel, the marriage is done, so what's the point?

What's more, Baochai is exquisite and flexible, and she has studied housekeeping with Aunt Xue for a long time. Now she can decide most of the family affairs, so she naturally knows many secrets.There are too many ways for a wealthy family to deal with a helpless woman even if they don't give up and leave. Even if they have the name of the head wife and no real rights, they are just a poor puppet.

Not to mention, those two wives in Jia's mansion, Mrs. Xing is the eldest daughter-in-law, and she still has an imperial order, but what kind of life are they living?Even taking out dozens of taels of silver has to be repeatedly calculated and calculated. Why?And the eldest sister-in-law You Shi of the East Mansion holds the power of the housekeeper, but she can only follow the man in everything, so why?It's just that they are the stepmothers who are inferior to others, and their natal family is in decline.

So she came back to her senses and said to Aunt Xue, "If there were no elder brother and brother Yang, this marriage would not be my turn at all. If there is a change, it should be deserved. Besides, elder brother is the hope of this family. If there is no one to support me, so what if the marriage is done? So I never wronged my brother for me. Mom thinks carefully, is this the truth? As for the matter of children, my brother is still young now, so I will think about it ten years later. It's not too late."

Baochai didn't make it too clear, but Aunt Xue understood what she meant.For women in this era, it is quite normal for a husband to have one or two concubines.Xue Pan has always been so good with Bo Yang, and when he gets older, it will be very easy for him to want a child.As for whether Bo Yang would agree, they didn't think about it at all.

And if the two of them are not like they are now in ten years, it will be logical for Xue Pan to marry a wife and have children.

"My son, you're still thinking carefully." Aunt Xue held Baochai's hand, "I've never had any peace in my heart since I knew about it. Now that you say that, I can feel relieved. It's just a grievance." Fortunately, there are not many people who know about this matter, and there is still room for change. I will go to your brother and tell your brother later that it doesn't matter if he messes around on his own. Don't delay you!"

"Mom is in charge." Seeing that Aunt Xue had changed her mind, Baochai said.

But even though Aunt Xue was moved by talking, Baochai still felt a little complicated about this matter in her heart.After going back, she was in a trance frequently, which made Daiyu see the clue.

The two were originally closer than the original book, and these days they walked together and slept together, only to find that the two have many similarities, and they have long been referred to as confidants, closer than sisters.In addition, Daiyu would know about this matter sooner or later, so Baochai did not hide it, and talked about it hesitantly.

After finishing speaking, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

In the past, she also sighed, for a person like Bo Yang, what kind of beauty in the world can be worthy of him?And because among the girls she knew, only Daiyu was the most outstanding, so Baochai even thought that maybe sister Lin would stay at home.It's just that after seeing the two of them getting along with each other, Bo Yang obviously only regarded Daiyu and himself as younger sisters, so he let go of this idea.

I don't know...

Does this count as a family in another sense?

Daiyu was stunned for a long time before saying, "Brother Yang once told me that with our body, the most important thing is to look away, be at ease, and get along with you. Now I understand a little bit."

Even if he can do such deviant things calmly and doesn't care a little bit, Bo Yang's heart is probably more open than he thought.It's no wonder that I left Jia's house, my mind was happy, but my body didn't see a big improvement. It turned out that I didn't have such a free and easy way.

But although she couldn't do it, she was envious in her heart.

She is different from Baochai, although she also reads a lot of poetry and books, but since she was young, she had no parents around to teach those secular principles by precept and example, and her only close friend was Baoyu, who always regarded all kinds of rules as waste paper, so she naturally developed a Although she also knows the spirit of nature and many secular principles, she doesn't take it very seriously.So it is easier to accept Bo Yang than Baochai.

Baochai saw that she was going crazy again, smiled and shook her head, and let her go.But after the words were spoken, my heart finally opened up a lot.Brother Yang and brother Yang obviously have their own concerns about this matter, even if she really has any ideas, it's useless, so why bother?

……

A few days later, Xue Pan's wounds had healed, but the mansion still seemed to be quiet, as if nothing had happened.

The two were a little surprised, but also moved.

Since Aunt Xue has no follow-up means, she is acquiescing to the existence of this matter for the time being.

In fact, it was all thanks to Baochai.It was ten years after she mentioned it that Aunt Xue felt that after all, Xue Pan was still young, and even if it was absurd for a few years, he could afford to wait.And as someone who has experienced it herself, she can only understand one truth: it is better to have fresh feelings.No matter how obsessed and fanatical you are now, after a long time, you will always be consumed by time and all kinds of trivial things, and gradually fade away.

What keeps a family together is not affection, but responsibilities, children, and many other ties.

When people are old, they want a stable family and children who will continue their family tradition, and Xue Pan and Bo Yang are no exception.When this enthusiasm subsides, that is, they do nothing, maybe they will turn around.

That being the case, she didn't need to jump out at this time and be a bad person in vain.In order not to let Xue Pan, the son of Xue Pan, be separated from him more and more.

But Aunt Xue still made a request to them.

For Baochai's wedding, the Ministry of Rites has already set an auspicious date, which will be this fall.So in order to avoid any accidents in the middle, Aunt Xue asked Bo Yang to leave the capital temporarily.When the matter is over, she will not care about whatever they want to do.

She said these words to Xue Pan.And Xue Pan was deeply touched that Aunt Xue did not continue to object, so naturally it was difficult to refuse such a "small request", so he gritted his teeth and agreed.It's just that when he came back and saw Bo Yang, he sighed for a while.

His younger sister is going to get married, and she is marrying a member of the royal family, so he naturally has no time to leave, and he will be busy preparing for this matter. Even if the Xue family is not as good as the royal family, it can't make people look too shabby That's good.So it is impossible to have time to find Bo Yang.

This time, we will not be able to see each other for several months.

Bo Yang said, "It's not easy for my wife to think of this. It's good for me to go out and live for a while, so as not to see her on weekdays, it will be difficult for her, and I will also feel uncomfortable. Besides, I didn't say that I have to wait for things here , shall we not stay in the capital? It’s just that we can’t go back to Jinling. That’s the ancestral land of your Xue family, and everyone in the family is there, so there will only be more disputes. So I’ll go out and walk around now, choose a place I like, briefly It's not bad for business. What do you think?"

Xue Pan stared at him for a long time before saying, "Brother Yang already had this plan?"

"Quickly put away those thoughts of yours!" Bo Yang raised his hand and tapped him on the head, "Naturally, I had planned it a long time ago, but I didn't want to hide it from you. Just hurry up."

He said, seeing Xue Pan's expression of disbelief, he laughed, "Why, why don't you let me be lazy for a while? I don't like this kind of running around, let alone..." His eyes turned and fell on Xue Pan. Pan body, "Since you are here, why would I want to go elsewhere?"

Xue Pan turned around and hugged him in his arms, calling out in a low voice, "Brother Yang..."

Recently, he loves to act like a baby to Bo Yang more and more.Because Xue Pan could clearly feel Bo Yang's connivance towards him.And at this time, Bo Yang would never hesitate to express his importance and concern for him verbally, which made Xue Pan's heart shake.

Bo Yang turned his head and exchanged a kiss with him.However, when he wanted to retreat, Xue Pan held him down, and then the kiss gradually got out of control, as if a scorching fire was ignited from the bottom of his heart, and then spread to the whole body, surroundings, and even the whole world.

He originally wanted to say something to Xue Pan, but in the burning of the flames, he forgot all of them.

When Xue Pan let go of him satisfied, Bo Yang was already a little confused.He was still thinking that he had something to say, but then he thought that it would not be too late to say it tomorrow, so he fell asleep in peace.

Tuliu Xue Pan was staring at his sleeping face in a daze, but he had completely different thoughts in his heart: Even if Brother Yang is leaving, there is no rush at this moment, it would be good if he can stay with him for a few more days.

So Bo Yang realized that he seemed unable to talk to Xue Pan properly.

They have their own affairs during the day, and there are other people around, so it is naturally inconvenient to discuss.But at night, even though Xue Pan blatantly stayed in the courtyard instead of staying in the main courtyard, the two had almost no time to talk.Because as long as there is no one around, Xue Pan will consciously entangle him, and when he is entangled, Bo Yang will often forget what he was going to say.

Although Xue Pan is usually clingy, but these days has reached a limit.After a few days of indulging, Bo Yang slowly came to his senses and realized that Xue Pan used this method to avoid the topic.

He rubbed his sore waist, gritted his teeth and thought, it seems that it is time to set rules for Xue Pan.
