The soy sauce life of the second daughter of the Xue family in the Red Chamber

He also said that Xue Pan was very proud when he heard that Yinglian was good, and when he came home, he saw Yinglian looked down at the account book, and asked, "Why don't you stop in such a hot day?" Yinglian said, "How much?" How can I rest in peace when I don't even understand the accounts at home." Xue Pan said again, "It's so hot in the afternoon, let's look at it when the lights are lit at night." Yinglian shook her head and said "It's not going to work. The lanterns at night made your eyes sore. Let's see it now." Xue Pan couldn't help but sighed that Yinglian was really a bit dull. After thinking for a while, she finally pulled Yinglian up and said : "Serve me for a nap first and then read."

After hearing this, Yinglian really put down the account book and helped Xue Pan change clothes, but she was pressed under Xue Pan just after changing, and seeing Xue Pan's face full of smirks, Yinglian couldn't help but blush and said: "My lord is messing around like this. The sky is bright and bright, I’d better read the account books.” Seeing her blushing and saying such words again, Xue Pan couldn’t help laughing, and said, “Are you overthinking or am I messing around? It’s just like this What kind of warrior can still be so interested in hot weather?" Yinglian knew that she had misunderstood, so her face became redder and she was about to bleed, she just struggled to get up, Xue Pan couldn't make fun of her when she saw her like this , just said to her: "Don't move, just lie down with me for a while." After that, she let Yinglian go, lay down and closed her eyes, and Yinglian had to follow.

Although Yinglian had learned from the Feng family to be a steward at home, it's just that the Xue family has a small population, but the Zhen family is even more simple. There are a few servants, a few maids, and three masters, Zhen Shiyin, Feng Shi, and Yinglian. It is also convenient, and the account is also very clear.Although Xue's family is only seven masters, Master Xue, Aunt Xue, Xue Pan, Baochai, Baozan, Baoqin and Yinglian, the population is relatively small, but Master Xue and Aunt Xue have two first-class maids beside each other. , four second-class maids, and I don’t know how many small maids, Xue Pan, Baochai, Baozan, Baoqin, and myself are surrounded by one first-class maid, two second-class maids, and other small maids, and the housekeeper. The housekeeper's daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, nanny, servants, and servants don't know how many.Although it is relatively simple compared to other big families, it is many times more than the Zhen family. At this time, it is inevitable to be a little confused, so I have to take time to look more, but I am a little tired. Now I am lying on the bed with Xue Pan He closed his eyes again and fell asleep before Xue Pan.

Xue Pan didn't wake up until evening. Seeing that Yinglian was in a deep sleep, he didn't let anyone wake her up. Thinking that Baochai had suffered from heatstroke yesterday, he must have been lying in bed for another day today, so he wanted to go to Baochai to make fun of her. When she came out of the room and saw Qing Mi, she asked, "Did I hear when the second girl got up today?" Xue Pan said: "Master is fine all day today, just don't run into trouble. Haven't you suffered enough in these years?" Xue Pan laughed and said: "I haven't run into trouble with the second girl yet, so it's up to me There is someone who is neither soft nor hard in the courtyard, and your temper has grown in the past few years."

Qing Ai put down the agate plate she had just ordered, and then turned around and said to Xue Pan, "Who am I? How dare I play my temper with the uncle? The second girl got up today and heard that the uncle sat with her for a long time, and just walked away from her She woke up on the hind legs, and because no one told her not to go out, she had a long time of embarrassment, and lay down on the bed for a whole day, neither eating nor drinking, and made several people unhappy. Just ask me, now that I have asked, I naturally told the uncle not to ask for trouble. It's just that the uncle is the master, so you can go if you want, as long as you don't come back and cry and the money is running low, why bother to make me angry See good?" Then he went to look for a feather duster to dust off, Xue Pan smiled when he saw it, and said, "You said it wasn't because you have a good temper, so I just said something to you, you just said all these things, and now you are still so special I went to look for a feather duster and came out, but you’re going to hit me?" Then he stepped forward and took the feather duster away, and said with a smile: "This thing can be done on a mat, the girl is holding this, I'm afraid."

As soon as this remark came out, Qing Ai couldn't hold back her face, she burst out laughing, she stared at Xue Pan for a while, and then said: "Master is in our courtyard now, he still has the heart to joke with me, If I don't stop the uncle, when the uncle goes to the second girl's place, I'm afraid he will only cry when he comes back." Xue Pan also laughed and said: "You are right, I will not touch that nail." It was only after some gossip with Qing Ai that it was over.

A few days later, Xue Pan's official also came down, and thanks to Wang Ziteng's blessing, he became the magistrate of Jing County, the seventh rank.Everyone in the Xue family was very happy. Although the magistrate of Jing County had a small salary, the Xue family never planned to live on such a small salary, and now that he became an official, he has completely become a scholar. The Xue family can also The official name has been changed to Xue's Mansion, Aunt Xue and Yinglian have also been ordered to become children, and even though they are foreign officials, they are in Jing County, so it is very convenient to go back and forth every day, and they don't have to go far away from their parents and family like other foreign officials. , how to make people unhappy?Because of these, in fact, if Xue Pan became a doctor from the ninth rank, the Xue family would also be happy.

If in Jinling, Xue Pan had been selected by a scholar, the Xue family would also invite opera and banquets, not to mention that now that he is an official, how can he not serve wine?It's just that I'm in Beijing now, and I have taboos about Baoyu's affairs back then. I also see that the Lin family has a bigger wedding than the Xue family, but they didn't invite guests. They only invited a few old friends. After visiting some relatives and the Zhen family, Xue Pan called Liu Xianglian and Feng Ziying, and set up two or three tables.For this reason, Master Xue and Aunt Xue scolded Jia Baoyu, who had been dead for a long time, thousands of times in their hearts.

After a while, Zhao Wenhao's official also came down, but he dragged Lin Ruhai's relationship and became an editor in the Imperial Academy. Although he had no real power, the Zhao family and the Xue family thought the same thing and were happy.Because Baochai married, she was ordered to be a child, and she was no longer white, and the whole Xue family was also happy for Baochai.Baochai has always had the ambition of Qingyun, it is the same in the original book, and it is also the same now. Originally, she didn’t take her identity as a child seriously, but she thought about the Dream of the Red Mansions she saw in Xue Pan’s hands back then, and she thought about how bleak her evening scene was, and now she is like this It's already good, what more do you ask for?In addition, Zhao Wenhao is also a person who is motivated by his studies, and he can be regarded as very promising. He may not be able to earn a fortune for himself in the future. Thinking about it this way, he feels extremely satisfied.

In September, when the Zhao family hired the Xue family, it happened that Wang Ziteng was in Beijing, so the Xue family invited Baochai's own uncle to sit in charge.Because the Xue family hired a lot of dowry gifts for the Zhen family, the Xue family was originally a higher family than the Zhen family. Now that Xue Pan is an official, Baochai is naturally a lady of the official family, so more dowry gifts are required. up.For these, 10 taels of silver and [-] taels of gold were given away, not to mention jewellery, silk and satin.

The Zhao family was originally a salt merchant and had a lot of money, but Wang Ziteng was stunned for a while looking at the betrothal gift list, and then asked Master Xue, "Why are there so many? How can I ask for it for the big girl? "Master Xue thought, perhaps because of the amount of dowry he gave to the Zhen family, he said how much he had given to the Zhen family at the beginning. Wang Ziteng was confused, and asked how much dowry the Zhen family gave to Yinglian. Master Xue said: "Although the Zhen family did not prepare much for their daughter-in-law in our eyes, it is rare to marry them with all the dowry gifts we gave to their family. It made our family feel a little embarrassed. The daughter-in-law returned home in three days. At that time, I asked Pan'er to bring some money." Wang Ziteng nodded and said in admiration: "Zhen Shiyin is really rare, and you asked Pan'er to bring money, which is exactly what you should do." After finishing speaking, he handed over the dowry list Put it away, and said that there is no need to add it.

When Baochai got married in October, Baochai followed Song Dandan's example and told Baoqin about that scene, "The scene, with the sound of gongs and drums, the sound of firecrackers, the waving of red flags, and the sea of ​​people, was quite spectacular!" , Baoqin giggled when she heard this, but I won't mention that for a while.

Baochai got one-third of Aunt Xue's dowry, and as the name suggests, another third was given to Baozan, and the remaining third was naturally returned to Xue Pan after Aunt Xue's hundred years.In addition, there are all the betrothal gifts from the Zhao family, plus four real estate properties, hundreds of Zhuangzi, six shops, 12 taels of silver, 3 taels of gold, and gold and silver jewelry and jewelry.With this kind of dowry, other people’s dowry would not be enough to look at. The most rare thing is that the half-inch pearls are full of ten boxes. It is only Xue Pan who cultivated pearls in the past that can have these now, which is enviable. .When Zhao's family asked people to look at the dowry, everyone said that the Xue family was really rich. The phrase "a good year is full of snow, pearls are like earth and gold is like iron" was originally just an exaggeration and flattery, like "white jade makes a horse for gold". Knowing that the current Xue family is not "gold as iron", but it really deserves the words "pearls are like soil".

And the provocative person saw that Baochai's dowry was more than that of some first-rank officials, so he said some acid words beside him, saying that it was the eldest daughter of the Xue family who brought the dowry, and the uncle of the Xue family said Happy who knows how much hate in my heart.Because Xue Pan was the eldest brother, he sent him off in person, the harsh words those people said in Zhao's house reached Xue Pan's ears within a moment, and Xue Pan didn't argue with anyone, but just said to Liu Xianglian: " Our Xue family has been in business for several generations, and now I have become an official with great difficulty, but I am only a small official, and I can only earn some face for my younger sister in the dowry." He said: "When the second younger sister gets married, I will also be an official. Same as big sister." Tell others to stop.

Liu Xianglian turned pale when she heard this, and lowered her head to think about her family's property, thinking that it would be nothing more than a wedding ceremony when she got engaged, but the betrothal gift would be to lose the whole family and give it to Xue's family. Hearing from Xue Pan that Baozan's dowry was the same as Baochai's, he broke into a cold sweat and didn't know what to do.Seeing him like this, Xue Pan knew what he was thinking in his heart, so he whispered to Liu Xianglian: "Since Daddy dares to accept you, you should put your heart in your stomach. How much money does your family have, you and I After all these years, how could dad not know about it? How could the second sister not know? If you dislike you, how can you deal with it? And the second younger sister is not someone who cares about these things." She only cares about people's faces, Xue Pan didn't dare to say these half-sentences in his stomach.

After listening to Liu Xianglian, she was a little relieved and didn't think about it too much, but she suddenly remembered that when Xue Pante came to tell her about martial arts, at that time, she only liked to play tricks, and even the house at home was defeated by herself. It was only worth 1000 taels in total, Xue Pan paid for him to practice martial arts seriously, and managed the losses for him, and now he only has 5000 taels.Later, he and Baozan became friends, and when Xue Pan said that it was Baozan's idea to ask him to practice martial arts, he fell in love with him.At this time, he put aside the betrothal gift and dowry, and only thought about being a martial arts scholar, earning the imperial order for Baozan seriously so that Baozan's love for knowing him was not in vain.

The author has something to say: pearls are as simple as soil, and artificially cultured pearls are not expensive. The farms in those days came in handy. Now the Xue family has as many as they want. Gold is as difficult as iron, and I can’t write it in my life. I think only Miss Ma can meet this standard QAQ
