[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family

In this era, even the slightest bit of gossip would bring disaster to a girl's family.Lin Ze's remark was like a blow to the Jia family.Therefore, it took a while for Shui Rong to murmur: "Could it be true?"

"Of course there will be no fakes." The corners of Lin Ze's lips curled up, revealing a sly smile.

"Don't you want to publicize this matter?" Shui Rong's eyes widened, and his tone was full of disapproval.

"We've been friends for so many years, so it's possible that you still don't know me?" Seeing the smirk on Shui Rong's face, as if he was relieved, he suddenly laughed, "It's not enough to spread the word, it's not what I want to see when the city is full of storms Yes. But since it happened, the groom should be informed, shouldn't he?"

Lin Ze and Shui Rong looked at each other, their clear eyes were full of persistence.

After a long while, Shui Rong was defeated, and only sighed and said, "Forget it, maybe I should go this way." As he spoke, seeing Lin Ze's smile was shallow, he just curled his lips and said, "It's okay. I am a person who has nothing to do, a dignified prince will only be a servant for you."

Now that this remark has been answered, it will naturally come to an end.

Lin Ze smiled and said nothing.The two of them sat down and ate their son's tea again, and exchanged a few words. Seeing that it was getting dark, Shui Rong hurriedly called his servants to set up a carriage, and personally sent Lin Ze back.

However, it was a bright and clear day, Xue Pan got up early, and after Aunt Xue urged him to eat two bites of breakfast, he became a little bit excited.Trying to go to the shop for a walk.Aunt Xue saw his radiant face, and heard him say: "Mom, I am the head of the Xue family, so I should visit the shop from time to time. If there is someone who is lazy, I can send him home if I see him. "

Aunt Xue really smiled and said: "He is actually dedicated to his family. He has never been as interested as he is today."

"Look at what mother said. I just said that, and I often go there every now and then. I didn't see my mother say these things before. What's going on today?"

"What's the matter with me? It's just because our family is about to add someone. It's just because I'm happy." As he said, he couldn't help but patted his chest with a smile, and said with satisfaction: "Our Pan'er is also going to start a family. I think Baochai is very happy in the palace."

When Xue Pan heard the words, a rosy glow flew across his face, and he hurriedly ran out after a few words.

Only Aunt Xue was left in the room with a smile on her face. When she saw Xue Pan walking away, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said in her heart: "Okay, we Pan'er is now feeling ashamed and annoyed. The third girl of Jia's family is knowledgeable. Let me see Very good. Now it is a beautiful thing for Pan'er to marry home."

Just as Xue Pan was coming out of the antique shop, a servant came running over and whispered for a while, then saw Xue Pan's face sink, and he strode towards the Ruyi Building.

As soon as I entered the Ruyi Building, I only heard the voices of people, but looking around, there were no empty seats.

Xue Pan stared intently, paused for a moment, and then went to the private room on the second floor.

Through the door, only the voices of people outside the hall can be heard, but the words of a few drunks can be faintly heard clearly.

I only heard one of the drunken men say loudly: "I said, the women in this palace are very stylish, and the young lady in his Duke Rong's mansion is also very lucky. I heard that he will be married soon. Being married is a good marriage."

The other drunk laughed with a "chih—" and said, "Miss Gonghou married into a family of merchants, so it can be seen that the Duke's Mansion is not as good as it used to be."

"Huh? What's that? I didn't hear the reason." The drunk man who spoke before was full of doubts, confirmed it again, and then muttered: "Bah, who is Huqin with bare mouth and white teeth, I just remember In the past, Jia's family had passed through Mei Hanlin's family early on, and both families had crossed the Ming Road. Why is Xue's family coming out of the slanting stab now? Could it be that the young lady from Rong Gong's mansion is born beautiful and beautiful, and has a beautiful personality? People are vying for marriage!"

Xue Pan was sitting in the private room, his hands clenched tightly.

What a Jia family, what a Jia Tanchun.Good daughter Bai Jiaqiu, this is not the Jia family's fault.It's just that the Jia family had crossed the bright road with the Mei family first, and now they still made a gesture to make their Xue family inferior.Xue Pan only felt that his chest was full of anger, and when he listened carefully to the Mei family, he was even more furious that it was still in Mei Hanlin's house.

"Pa——" With a wave of his hand, he smashed a small pastel cup on the table. Xue Pan gritted his teeth and growled, "It's so good to look at the Mei family in the bowl and think of the Mei family in the pot. He has a backbone. Since the Mei family has done such shameless things, don't blame me, Xue Pan, for not being sympathetic."

After finishing speaking, he took the young man out of the Ruyi Building in a hurry.

It's just that after he left, the two drunk men who had talked so much looked at each other, and saw a clear smile in each other's eyes, how could they be a bit drunk?Weighing the silver taels in their hands, the two of them were also very knowledgeable and interesting, and after only a few sips of wine, they went to each other's homes.

It's just that Xue Pan's head was burning with anger, and as soon as he returned home, he found Xue Biao and scolded Xue Biao sternly.

"I think my dignified Xue family is also from an imperial businessman. Even if you are a side branch, I have never despised you in the slightest when you come to join me now. But now I have a sentence, don't you don't like to hear it. You brought a girl here Jingcheng originally wanted to inherit your father's entrustment and let your sister marry into the Mei family. But according to my opinion, it is impossible now!" After speaking, he took a deep breath, then frowned and said: "Then Although the Mei family has the reputation of Hanlin, they are full of people who are like wine bags and rice bags. Their vision is high. Let me remind you here, you just listen to it. The lintel of his house, I have to say my ugly words first, and I will be humiliated at that time, please don't bring me back to my house."

Xue Biao was confused by his words, but the further he got to the back, the more chilled he felt.He only thought that although Xue Pan used to be a cockfighting dog, he has grown more and more in recent years, besides, he has been in the capital for many years, and there are many things about the children of officials and eunuchs in the capital, since he said so , there must be some rumors.

Thinking of this, Xue Biao didn't care about anything else, and asked with a trembling voice: "Big brother, what happened? Then the Mei family, the Mei family...are you going to regret the marriage?" A little trembling.Xue Biao's family has fallen, and his parents are gone. Since he was a child, his little sister Bao Qin was the most important thing. Now thinking that the Mei family may regret the marriage, he feels ashamed.

Seeing that his face was pale, Xue Pan couldn't bear to hide his words, but everyone knew that he married Tanchun, if something came out at this moment, it would not bring glory to his face, so he just said vaguely: "I only heard that the son of Mei Hanlin is a worthless person, who messes with flowers and messes with women and girls from other families. Mei Hanlin is also a fool, as if he doesn't know our family, but he still has an appointment with another family. After kissing Minglu, you can't be angry!"

But Xue Biao didn't know and went in. Hearing this, he was angry and bitter. He thought that Mei Hanlin was such a disobedient person, and that his brother and sister went to Beijing for a promise made by their father when he was still alive.Otherwise, with Baoqin's appearance and talent, which family would not be able to marry, and would rather go to his house?Second, he also thought about Baoqin's reputation, and when he heard Xue Pan point out that Mei Hanlin's family had an engagement with another family, his heart sank, and he only thought of Baoqin's fate, if at such a good age, Wouldn't the fact that the man regretted the marriage on her back ruin her life? !

Xue Biao has always been a diligent and honest person, but today he was caught off guard when he heard Xue Pan's words. After thinking about it, a man with tears in his eyes just looked at Xue Pan and begged: "Big brother, I beg you!" It's about you. Baoqin is still young, if she really wants to be divorced, I'm afraid...I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future!" At the end, her voice was choked up and she couldn't continue.

Xue Pan thought of Baoqin, who was beautiful and light-hearted, and full of talent in poetry and writing. He was diligent and careful in serving Aunt Xue on weekdays, and he was used to please others.Compared with his own sister Baochai, she is not bad at all.If it wasn't for the bad luck, Baoqin might be a bit more capable than Baochai.

Thinking of this, Xue Pan couldn't help feeling a little bit of compassion.Occasionally, he thought that Mei Hanlin's family was bullying too much. This kind of thing not only slapped the face of Xue Biao's brothers and sisters, but also slapped the Xue family's face.Xue Pan's eyes were fixed, and he said in a deep voice: "I have another opinion on this matter, you just take care of your sister, other things, I will discuss it after I get married." Saying that, seeing Xue Biao's face was still full of despair, I couldn't help shouting sharply: "Now you just read your book well, and when you open the spring chamber, you will occupy the ranking. Are you afraid that you won't be able to understand today's hatred? Besides, as a man, if you don't want to make progress, then Your sister really has no way out!"

Xue Biao trembled when he heard the sound, as if seeing Xue Pan for the first time, the two of them looked at each other for a while, and then responded: "Brother, what you said is very lesson-oriented. It's all beautiful."

The Xue family here is just holding back, Xue Pan is wholeheartedly waiting for Tanchun to deal with Jia and Mei after he passes through the family.But they didn't know that Jia Huan on the other side had also heard about the incident, and was so anxious that he went to Tanchun to explain the situation.

Tanchun has always hated Jia Huan very much, and only felt that it was a lifetime of misfortune for him to be born in Aunt Zhao's womb.In addition, she was raised by the old lady since she was a child, and when she grew up, Mrs. Wang was willing to give her face, and she thought she was very proud.But every time I see Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan, mother and son, I feel unhappy and just feel ashamed.

At this moment, seeing Jia Huan coming to look for him profusely in sweat, Tan Chun didn't look moved at all, but sternly scolded the waiter next to him, "Why are you so poor and guarding the door! Man I don't know, don't you have a bad memory? I'm an adult now, and brother Huan is also an adult, so there's no reason not to avoid suspicion! The sky is bright and bright, so people can see it. If it's the middle of the night, don't you worry about people being around? Can't you chew your tongue behind your back?!"

The servant was scolded by Tanchun sternly, he didn't dare to hesitate a word, he just bowed his head and promised.Jia Huan's eyes were full of shock and pain, he felt that although the woman in front of her was extremely beautiful, every word and every word seemed to cut her heart like a sharp knife.Originally, he came here with good intentions to remind her to be more careful, who would have thought that his own sister would criticize and scold Huai Huai as soon as he entered the door.

Jia Huan's heart turned cold, and she almost wanted to turn around and leave, but when she reached the door, she couldn't bear it.I only sighed in my heart, turned around and said to Tanchun: "Sister San, I am here today to tell you that someone has already spread the news about the fact that the second wife set you up with Mr. Mei that day. I got the news, Third Sister, your future days—" Before he could finish his sentence, Tan Chun looked stern, raised his hand and smashed a Huizhou Lake brush.

"What should I be? Sooner or later, I'd like to think that I'm dead." Tanchun said this quickly and urgently, and Jia Huan's face was ugly because of the slap in the face.Just as he was about to wave his sleeves and leave, he bumped into someone who came in at the door. Before Jia Huan could raise his head to look, he heard Tan Chun, who was still frowning just now, change his tone and said with a smile: "Second brother, What time is this, why did you come here?"

Jia Huan sneered, "After all, I am a soft-spoken person. I just think that what I just said is all fart. The third sister is Zhuge, a female middle school, and she is protected by the second brother Bao, but I am meddling with a mouse." He no longer misses Tanchun, and walks out the door.

The waiter watched from the side, anxious but did not dare to speak. Seeing that Baoyu had already sat down as if no one else was there, he hurriedly brought hot tea to him, and then retreated.

"Third sister can't be left alone to serve her. Now that your son is out, don't you want her to be unhappy?"

At the corner, Jia Huan looked at the servant book with indifferent eyes. Two years ago, he had secretly sent the silver taels without telling the whole family, and asked Lin's elder brother to find someone to redeem the old lady of the servant book, and let them go back. Retired in the countryside.Now the brother and sister-in-law who serve the book are doing a small business, and the family has bought fields and land in the countryside, and they are very happy.The waiter knew this, so he naturally treated Jia Huan differently.Compared to Jia Baoyu who only talks about pity and pity, Jia Huan is the real and reliable one.

Hearing this, the waiter just lowered his head and said softly, "Second Master Bao is talking to the girl in the room, it's the same whether we are there or not."

Although these words are true, but thinking that Jia Baoyu is now a father, he still breaks into the sisters' room without hesitation, and the reputation of Tanchun and Tanchun will be damaged if it is spread.Jia Huan frowned, and then said: "Although it is the relationship between sisters, it should be avoided. You should go back and accompany me, and I will leave now. As for the Mei family, let me say, your family The girl has ten words to refute me. I'm afraid she will be angry, and it will be of no benefit to her in the future. She has always valued you, but you have a chance to reveal this matter carefully in front of her, so that she can take precautions That's good."

The waiter agreed, and seeing that he had been out for a quarter of an hour, he also took his leave and went back.

But Jia Huan stood there for a long time before sighing softly.Tanchun's indifference and indifference, he has tasted it today.I think that when Jia Baoyu entered the door, Tanchun's attitude towards him was completely different from his attitude towards himself. Although Jia Huan didn't expect Tanchun to regard himself as the most important relative, this obvious neglect and alienation made him do it early. Jia Huan, who was mentally prepared, was still a little chilled.

"Brother Lin, you deserve credit for this matter." Sighing and shaking his head, Jia Huan didn't reveal a single word when he went back to Aunt Zhao's yard.He was the only one to worry about this matter, not to mention Aunt Zhao, who had a hot temper and couldn't hide her words, would look bad on both sides if she yelled out at that time.

But I didn't want to, I only slept until midnight that day, and then I heard the voices of people in Mrs. Wang's courtyard not far away, and the maids and servants were noisy and busy.Jia Huan fell asleep in a daze, put on a coat and opened the door to look, only to see Mrs. Wang's courtyard brightly lit, and heard a little maid shouting from a distance: "It's not good, Second Master Bao is crazy and wants to kill someone!" Woolen cloth!"
