[Red House Chai Dai] Salted Pork Knuckle, Crab Rice Wine

Xue Pan was almost deceived by a traitor, and was nagged by Aunt Xue for a long time. He couldn't hold back, just as Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion sent someone to invite him over, so he went in a hurry.

Seeing this, Aunt Xue regretted that she had said too much, and she knew her son's nature in her heart. She just went to Ningguo Mansion to take refuge temporarily, so she didn't stop her. The business is arranged in a decent way, and I feel very relieved in my heart.

Mrs. Wang was busy that day and did not come to talk to Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue also took the opportunity to wash her hands and cook some flavors that her son likes, in order to prevent Xue Pan from feeling uncomfortable about this matter, and to encourage him The meaning of consolation.

Unexpectedly, the day when Xue Bian went to Ningguo Mansion to look for Jia Zhen to play cockfights and running dogs was the day when Jia Zhen's wife, Youshi, invited Wang Xifeng to visit the mansion. Also, suddenly felt that he had delicate features, red lips and white teeth, handsome and shy like a daughter.

Recently, Xue Pan was like a fish in water in Jia's school, and he used some property to make friends with many puppet brothers, and coaxed several of them into his hands. It was the time when he was proud of his love and made persistent efforts. .It's just that although Jia Zhen and Jia Rong are very close to Xue Pan, they also secretly knew about his problem. Because of Qin Keqing's face, they naturally protected Qin Zhong in every action and took care of him everywhere, making Xue Pan's heart itch like something Hundreds of small insects seem to be scratching, but they can't see it but can't eat it.

When it was about time to light the lights, Xue Pan returned to Lixiangyuan drunk.Seeing this appearance, Aunt Xue knew that she had eaten a lot of wine. Naturally, the small dishes she had made by herself were useless, so she called for people to prepare soup to sober up quickly, and ordered hot water towels to come over to serve her son herself. Wash and wipe.

Baochai couldn't bear her mother's overwork, so she also helped her on the sidelines, and she didn't take it seriously when she heard Xue Pan's drunken nonsense, but suddenly Xue Pan became drunk, and when she turned her head, she saw Xiangling holding a cup of tea in her hand next to her. Holding the water basin, he suddenly jumped up and slapped it over, pointing at Xiangling and cursing: "Don't pretend to be chaste with me! I can see clearly the matter between you and Brother Zhen, and it is rumored in the whole house It’s all over, and it’s lucky that Rong’er is willing to be this green-haired turtle! Your brother is the same as you, what do I not know? I just want to touch a small hand and kiss a small mouth, but Big Brother Zhen is in the way Li! It’s not that he wants to rape you, why is he so distressed?”

This turn of events was unexpected to everyone, and they were stunned for a while.Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai never imagined that Xue Pan would say such a bastard thing, they were dumbfounded for a while, and couldn't cope.Xiangling was pointed at her nose and scolded for no reason, and what's more, she scolded some of the most obscene words for no reason. At that moment, her face turned red and white, and suddenly she cried out with a "wow" .

"Shut up!" After all, it was Aunt Xue who had a lot of experience, and she was the first to react, and said viciously.

Xiangling was taken aback for a moment, Xue Baochai had already patted her on the shoulder with his hand to show her comfort, and said softly: "If you don't, you should retreat first. This matter is rotten in your stomach, so you don't need to mention it again."

Xiangling hesitated for a moment, and was about to back down with tears in her eyes. Suddenly, Aunt Xue shouted to the surroundings: "You all go back first. You didn't hear anything today, understand? If you leak the news, you will all be beaten to death. Blame me for being cruel!"

Baochai was also shocked when she heard the words. She had rarely seen Aunt Xue being so decisive. She felt a little puzzled, but she didn't say anything.

The little maids in the room were so frightened that they fell silent and retreated one by one.

Aunt Xue was silent for a moment, then she sighed to Baochai: "There is nothing we can do about it. The only way to shut up people's mouths is to open Xiangling's face and teach your brother to accept her as a concubine if this has happened."

Xue Baochai was shocked, and said: "Where did mother say this? What does it have to do with Xiangling? Brother is probably drunk and mistaken."

Aunt Xue said: "Admit the wrong person? How do you say that?"

Xue Baochai calmed down, and said: "Xiangling is outstanding in appearance. Many people who see her say that she looks a little like Rong's daughter-in-law. I think my brother went to Ningguo Mansion today, met Rong's daughter-in-law, and accidentally accepted her. I'm a little idle, and it's not easy to get angry, so when I come back, I will vent my anger on Xiangling, talking nonsense."

Aunt Xue was taken aback for a moment, and said, "How do you know?"

Xue Baochai said: "Although I haven't seen the real scene, it can be inferred that it is probably done. If my mother is worried, I will secretly call the boy who went out with my brother to interrogate him and ask what happened."

Xue Baochai originally thought that Aunt Xue would not insist on asking the bottom line of a drunken nonsense, but Aunt Xue's expression was so solemn and serious, so she really called the servant who followed Xue Pan, and she really asked Xue Pan. I met Qin Keqing's younger brother Qin Zhong.Although the young man hesitates to talk about other things, it's hard to explain clearly.But Aunt Xue was used to the world, and Xue Baochai was smart, so they all guessed the same.

After ordering the servant to retreat, Aunt Xue was silent for a long while, and said to Xue Baochai, "Oh my injustice! I don't know when your brother got into this bad habit. If it's a child of an ordinary family, it's fine, but you can't get into it if you provoke it." rise up!"

Aunt Xue thought it was normal for a man to be a little good, but Xue Baochai couldn't agree with her.But her attention was quickly attracted by Aunt Xue's second sentence.She asked a little puzzled: "Mother, don't blame me for talking too much, I really don't understand. Rong's daughter-in-law is just an abandoned baby brought in by the Yangshengtang. She was favored by the Ningguo Mansion since she was a child and raised as a child bride. It's just a minister from the Ministry of Industry, a small Beijing official. Why can't he alone be provoked?"

Aunt Xue sighed: "How do you know the pros and cons of this!" After pondering for a long time, Fang said: "I don't quite understand the reason for this. When your second aunt talked about it that day, she was only vague. It's something you know anyway. Too much may not be a good thing. Telling you now is just for your caution and vigilance. Think about it, your eldest brother Zhen is the patriarch of the Jia family, and Ronger is the eldest grandson of the eldest house. How solemn it is to marry a wife It's a matter of fact. How can Qin Ye, a small worker in the Ministry of Industry, be able to get involved in such a marriage?"

Seeing that what she said was reasonable, Xue Baochai said in surprise, "That's right. Their family doesn't seem to be a family that doesn't care about their family status. It's the second uncle's brother who married Xu Xian. I heard that the old lady is not satisfied with the Xing family's family status. If you want to come to the Xing family It was prosperous for a while, and there were second-rank officials in the ancestors, but they fell early. Not to mention the eldest grandson of the house. My mother said so. Does Qin Ye have any other status? ?”

Aunt Xue took a fixed look at Baochai, paused, shook her head and said, "Qin Ye doesn't seem to have any other identity. Based on your second aunt's vague meaning, it seems that Rong's daughter-in-law is different. What a great status he has. So all the members of the He clan say that they are very proud. Thinking about coming to the foot of the emperor in the capital, there are so many secret things, how can I make them all clear, I’m afraid it’s better to be confused.”

Xue Baochai was startled, stayed for a while, and said, "That's right. According to what my mother said, it's really good to be confused." After a pause, she said, "Since I said that, I really am a person who cannot be easily provoked. It's just that According to what the servants said just now, my brother didn't do anything out of the ordinary, so it doesn't matter."

Aunt Xue sighed: "How do you know the key to it! I heard your second aunt vaguely said that Rong's daughter-in-law was originally brought to Ningguo Mansion when she was very young. In name, she was a child bride for Rong'er. Rong'er is a few years older, and she is closer to your big brother Zhen than others, and I can't blame that little guy with a sore mouth and sore mouth for making up random arrangements. It happened that your brother started talking nonsense when he was drunk! If the matter didn't get out Fortunately, if it spreads, wouldn't it offend relatives? I'm afraid this place will be difficult. For the current plan, there are only mistakes and mistakes. To the outside, you only say that your brother has taken a fancy to Xiangling and lost his temper. , and has nothing to do with the Ningguo Mansion."

Xue Baochai saw that Aunt Xue had said such a big reason, and at the end she wanted to give Xiangling to Xue Pan as a housemate, so as to settle possible disputes, she felt that it was not appropriate, and the boss couldn't bear it, so she hurriedly said: "Mother, why bother?" Rumors spread all over the place in Ningguo Mansion. The servants and servants are all saying that what is a little brother's words when he is drunk? The more noble a person is, the more tolerant he is. This blame, I'm afraid she can't blame it. She is not afraid of the shadow when she is upright, but she is afraid of others when she does something wrong. Besides, Feng Shui turns, even though she has some great status, she is so secretive. , Don’t dare to say it outright, maybe one day this layer of identity will disappear. Our family is relatives, so it’s okay to treat each other with a normal heart based on her apparent identity. Also, my brother is drunk This nonsense, in fact, only a limited number of people have heard it, and I have seen the daily behavior of these maids, so I can guarantee it. If my mother is afraid that it will be spread, I will give it to me, and I will explain one or two, and keep it Keep it secret, no one will hear the whole story. Okay?"

Seeing Baochai's long speech, Aunt Xue seemed to have some truth.She has always believed in Baochai, and she has always been a soft-hearted person. Seeing that Baochai insists, she will let it go.

Afterwards, no one mentioned the little incident in Rika-in.All the servants are tight-lipped.On the contrary, the rumors in Ningguo Mansion were even worse. When Baochai occasionally heard a few words, he felt hot on his face and felt embarrassed for Qin Keqing.

After Xue Pan had such a drunken madness, he didn't remember anything when he was drunk, and he still hung out with Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and others as before, and hung out with some Qidi brothers in Jia's school.Although Aunt Xue and Baochai were a little suspicious, they had no choice but to persuade her. Baochai's unmarried daughter's family was even more difficult to announce, so she could only be so vague.Fortunately, Xiangling was temporarily saved.

After Baoyu got acquainted with Qin Zhong here, he really fell in love.Even Baochai heard that Baoyu suddenly wanted to go to the family school to study, and praised Qin Zhong's character and behavior, saying that he just happened to be a reading partner and worked hard together.When Mrs. Wang went to chat with Aunt Xue, when she mentioned this matter, she was also beaming, thinking that Baoyu had finally become sensible and knew that she had put her heart into economic career.It is the heart of the poor parents who want their children to become dragons, but they don't know: they don't make friends because they are handsome, but they start studying because of romance, and the atmosphere of Jia's school has been corrupted for many days.
