[Quick Crossing + Red Mansions] I have a strong desire to survive

Because of Zhen Yingjia's power in Jinling City, Zhen Shiyin's father and him, who were exempted from taxes after winning the imperial examination, no longer should be in Chunwei. There is also the intention of revenge, which is not good for one's own house.

Over the years, Zhen Shiyin lived in Gusu with a house and a half in seclusion, in order to preserve his blood.However, Xue Xiang's letter moved Zhen Shiyin: it is said that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and Zhen Yingjia not only caused her to live in seclusion, but now she even attacked the royal merchant Xue's family.Huang Shang is also a person who works for the emperor. He wants to see with his own eyes whether the Xue family is going to be the same as theirs and let Zhen Yingjia continue to do evil.

Those who are most concerned about Zhen Yingjia's end must not be his relatives, but those who have been harmed by him.The Xue family was the worst victimized by Zhen Yingjia, so when you go to the Xue family's village, you will definitely get the latest news about Zhen Yingjia's fate.

Xue Pei didn't know what Zhen Shiyin was thinking, and he didn't feel that Zhen Shiyin was using him—thought of asking Zhen Shiyin to be Xue Xiang's husband, didn't he take advantage of his resentment towards Zhen Yingjia?

The relationship of mutual use between people is often longer than congeniality and mutual understanding.

"Fortunately, the heavens have eyes." Xue Pei said vaguely: "God bless the Xue family, the evildoers have been discovered by the Son of Heaven, and have now been locked up and taken into Beijing. Those who belong to the same clan who do evil together are also arrested. Confine it in your own house, waiting for the emperor's disposition."

Zhen Shiyin traveled all the way and did not enter Jinling City. He really didn't know that Zhen Yingjia had been locked up and taken to Beijing. After hearing Xue Pei's words, he stood up in surprise: "Master Xue is talking about Zhen Yingjia?"

Xue Pei nodded: "It's Zhen Yingjia. It's a pity that although Zhen Yingjia was locked up and taken to Beijing, the prefect of Jinling failed to find out that the stolen silver in our mansion was related to him. The Xue family, after all, lost." After speaking, his face was heavy. two points.

When Xue Xiang and Xue Pan saw that Xue Pei was in a bad mood, they both stepped forward to persuade him to relax, and assured him that they would study well and become officials in the imperial examination in the future, so that Xue's family could flourish again.Xue Pei then said to Zhen Shiyin: "The two of them are eager to study, but they don't know that without the guidance of a famous teacher, it is just a fool's dream to think that they can achieve success by studying hard on their own."

Zhen Shiyin knew Xue Pei's intentions, and thought that Zhen Yingjia had subdued the law, so he didn't have to dare to take a step closer to Jinling, for fear that Zhen Yingjia would get hold of him, and the blood of the eldest son would be wiped out.Now he can appear openly in front of those people who threw stones at his grandfather back then, so that he can see their faces.

After thinking about it, I felt that my idea was a little ridiculous——when my grandfather fled to Gusu, Zhen Shiyin was not born yet, so who among those so-called clansmen would recognize him?Now that he appeared in front of those people, no one knew that he and those people were related in the same line.

This made Zhen Shiyin hesitate whether to stay as a teacher or not.

Xue Pei saw Zhen Shiyin's obvious hesitation, but he didn't speak up to persuade him: If Zhen Shiyin chooses to stay, it is his good fortune, which can save him from the fate of his daughter being abducted and his family property burned.

If he really didn't want to stay, he couldn't force it. It can only be said that Zhen Shiyin was destined to be a monk by a lame Taoist.Fortunately, when Zhen Shiyin got the news that Zhen Yingjia was locked up, he was in a happy mood. He felt that the Xue family must have made great efforts to get Zhen Yingjia caught so quickly.

Even if the Xue family wanted to avenge their own family, he was also an indirect beneficiary. Even if he still couldn't see where the benefits were, he just let himself let go of the burden in his chest, and dared to appear in Jinling City in an open and honest manner, to fight for his father and ancestors. It is already a great pleasure for the ancestors to offer incense sticks.

"Second Master Xue is blessed to have such an elder brother who is always considerate of you." Zhen Shiyin said very sincerely: "Although I am not talented, I just follow the text for Master Xue and the young master. do it."

This is the meaning of the promise to stay, Xue Pei hurriedly asked Xue Xiang and Xue Pan to pay a visit to the husband, and said that they are the two gentlemen of Xue Xiang, so you don't have to be polite, don't say anything about masters and masters, just call them by their first names You can.Even for myself, because of the two feudal dynasties, they are also distant relatives by marriage, and they are good friends of the whole family. When relatives communicate, they must not be called Master Xue, so that everyone can be born.

Xue Pei is so open-minded, which suits Zhen Shiyin's appetite. He told him his age. Zhen Shiyin was five years older than Xue Pei. Both Xue Pei and Xue Xiang were called brothers, and Xue Pan would call him uncle. Don't stick to customs.

Xue Pei ordered Xue Pan to guide them, and everyone came to the backyard together, and asked Aunt Xue and others to report the reason, and they wanted to meet the female relatives.After a while, Tonggui had arrived at the courtyard gate to welcome everyone, Xue Pei's eyes darkened.It's not easy to ask the wife why she didn't greet her in person.

When they entered the house, Aunt Xue and the two Feng families stood at the door, welcomed people in and greeted each other again.Xue Pei secretly observed that the faces of the two Feng clans were full of smiles, while Aunt Xue, the master, had a froze face, so she knew that she still felt that the two Feng clans were not worthy of association, so she could talk to them together , It is pedantic and condescending.

With a cold snort in his heart, Xue Pei didn't need Aunt Xue, and ordered someone to prepare the banquet by himself. On the grounds that there are not so many rules in the country, there is no distinction between men and women, and everyone ate wine at one table.

Zhen Shiyin didn't know until now that although he was not sure whether he was going to be a husband for Xue Xiang, Xue Pei had already prepared a yard for his family, and he didn't have to live with the master's family. During the banquet, there was more free and easy meaning, which made Xue Pan stare straight at him.

This made Aunt Xue even more unhappy, she refused to say a word except for the wine, her unhappiness was almost engraved on her forehead, and the atmosphere gradually cooled down.After a while, Zhen Shiyin and his wife took Yinglian with them on the grounds that they were tired from the long walk and the yard had to be tidied up, and Xue Xiang and his wife accompanied them to their new residence. Only Xue Pei's family of four were left staring.

"Are you satisfied now?" Xue Pei looked at Aunt Xue coldly, feeling that this woman's brain circuit is really strange-for a woman in this era, her natal family is certainly confident, but when she finds that her natal family cannot be relied on, shouldn't she cling to her husband? , Are you afraid that your husband will be dissatisfied with you because of your natal family, which will cause the husband and wife to separate?

It's not that Aunt Xue didn't show favor to Xue Pei in the past two days, and even when she got along with Feng Shi, she seemed to be closer than before. Why is she acting out of her old ways again today?

Aunt Xue flinched from Xue Pei's cold gaze, but straightened up after thinking about it, and said to Xue Pei: "I don't understand what the master is talking about."

"You understand very well!" Xue Pei didn't stay polite at all: "You know that I have worked so hard to let Brother Zhen leave Xue Xiang and Pan'er as husbands, so as to honor the Xue family's lintel. You see Since Pan'er is still young, I'm afraid that Xue Xiang will pass the high school early and get the fame and status, and Xue Xiang's daughter-in-law will overwhelm you in terms of status, so she wants to deliberately get rid of Mr. Zhen so that Xue Xiang has no books to read, right?"

Think carefully about this, I really think that no one can see it.

Aunt Xue was speechless.She found that after waking up from the poisoning, the master no longer treats her as modestly as before, as if everything she does is not as good as he wants.Now he reprimanded himself loudly in front of the children, not saving himself any face.

"Is that why I don't fall in the master's eyes?" Aunt Xue couldn't help asking.

Even if Aunt Xue revealed the original owner's identity as a spy to others, Xue Pei had no intention of pretending to be a loving couple with her. How can Xue Pei, who lives in seclusion in the countryside, continue to tolerate it?

And this one is a shrewd person on the outside, confused on the inside, not only can't see the situation clearly, but also can't recognize how much he has.So today, Xue Pei wants to express his dissatisfaction with Aunt Xue in front of the children, and let the Xue Pan brothers and sisters know that their mother is not acting cautiously, and that they will not discuss with her about anything in the future, so that she will not have to worry about it again. Raise a dumb bully and a treasure girl with big ambitions.

As for himself, some people think he is a scumbag, so let's just say he is a scumbag.

Xue Pei started immediately, and wanted to continue the topic. He looked at Aunt Xue's eyes as cold as a poisonous snake: "You really don't fall into my eyes. Ever since you told your brother that I worked for a saint, From the day when I almost died in Huangquan, I no longer have you in my eyes."

Aunt Xue was dumbfounded all of a sudden, and Xue Pan's brothers and sisters were so frightened that their father was poisoned by their mother that they could not speak.Xue Pei looked at Xue Pan: "Because your brothers and sisters have mothers to take care of them, I didn't want to mention this matter. But today, it seems that your mother not only doesn't like me, but also doesn't want you to study and progress. In her eyes, only the eyes With such little benefits, I don’t even think about the revival of the Xue family. And the responsibility for revival lies with you and your second uncle.”

"I don't, I really don't. I don't want Pan'er to study and improve. I also want him to be promising. But even if I invite Mr. Xue Xiang to take the exam first, Mr. Xue Xiang is also a relative of Xue Xiang. How can Pan'er be dedicated." Aunt Xue was still defending herself.

Xue Pan looked at his mother with disappointment in his eyes: "Mother, uncle has just arrived at Zhuangzi, and regardless of the hard work all the way, he handed over all the money he earned in the past few years to father, which shows that he is of one mind with us. Compared with those who took our money for many years Yinzi, when something happens in the family, we send a servant to deal with our sneering relatives. I don’t know how much stronger. I am only a little old now, so I naturally want my uncle to take the imperial examination first. Help and guide me. How can you still suspect uncle and don't want him to make progress?"

Not bad, not wasting my teaching these days, Xue Pei nodded in satisfaction to his silly son: "Fortunately, Pan'er is a man who knows right from wrong. Even if my wife doesn't understand the truth, there is no need to bring Baochai anymore. Let the second wife take care of it."

After speaking, he took Baochai's little hand and led the dazed child out of the house.Seeing his mother's distraught look, Xue Pan couldn't bear it, but when he thought about his father who always cared for him, if it wasn't for his mother, he wouldn't continue to run around for the Xue family despite his illness. .

Even, Xue Pan felt in his heart that if it wasn't for his mother, his father's position as patriarch would not be taken away, the business in the mansion would not be taken away, and the house in Jinling City would not lose the silver.

These are all because of my mother.Xue Pan bowed slightly to his mother: "Mother, let's have a good life. Father has already said that mother doesn't need to worry about the son's affairs." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left the door without looking back.

Xue Pei at the door was wiping Baochai's tears, coaxing her to stop crying.Seeing Xue Pan come out dejectedly, he sighed and stood up straight: "Follow me to the study." Let the nanny take Baochai down to rest.

When he arrived at the study, Xue Pei told Xue Pan directly that what he said today can be checked by himself when he grows up to see if he has wronged his mother.He dared to speak like that, and Xue Pan, who was already somewhat enlightened, knew that what his father said just now was true.

"Where is mother?" Xue Pan finally asked: "Will father divorce mother in the future?"

Xue Pei shook his head: "I told your mother these things today because I was thinking that serious illness would require strong medicine, and it would be best for your mother to understand." It's a pity that the chances are too small.

Xue Pan's face relaxed when he heard this, and Xue Pei could only sigh inwardly: No matter how disappointed Xue Pan was with Aunt Xue, it was his mother after all.In the original book, Xue Dafool's only merit is that he is filial to his mother and friendly to his sister. Of course, I will not let him lose even this advantage.

Patting Xue Pan on the shoulder, Xue Pei said: "In two days, you should be studying with Uncle Zhen. When you become a Jinshi, you can naturally ask your mother for orders. Then she will understand that your uncle is good at reading. You are only motivated, and it will not hinder your future." The Xue family is not a family in the officialdom, and if there are any resources such as contacts, they can only focus on training one person.Xue Xiang and Xue Pan are the No. 1 of the Xue family's accumulation of official resources.

Encouraged by Xue Pan, he is very motivated to study.Zhen Shiyin realized that Xue Xiang had some background, and felt that it was not appropriate to keep the same progress as Xue Pan, so he simply divided the two into teaching in the morning and afternoon, and the key points were clearly distinguished.

Since the day Xue Pei and the others left, Aunt Xue has never been ill. Even when the two Fengs came to visit, she was politely rejected by her girl.Xue Pei used this as an excuse to entrust Baochai to Xiaofeng and ask her to take care of Baochai.

In the original book, Xue Xiang left early, and Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin were able to grow up to be good children who are knowledgeable about books and etiquette. Naturally, it is all thanks to Xiao Feng's teaching.Letting her take Baochai with her should be more reliable than Aunt Xue.

The two children are under the supervision of others, and Aunt Xue is no longer troubled by demon moths. Xue Pei can put all his energy on the mulberry fish soup in the experiment.It's a pity that it's almost winter now, and it's not suitable for stocking fish fry, and the newly planted mulberry trees are not very vigorous, which makes Xue Pei feel a little impatient, and should start construction next spring.

"Master, go to Mr. Zhen's house and have a look." Xue Jian ran over panting, yelling loudly at Xue Pei.

Xue Pei frowned and said, "How many times have I told you that you should be more prudent when things happen, why are you still so frizzy." This kid is still untrained.

Xue Jian didn't lower his voice at all because of the master's reprimand, but hurriedly explained the purpose of coming: "I don't know where a monk and a Taoist priest appeared, and the two of them have to become a monk from Mr. Zhen's Miss Yinglian."

what?

After hearing Xue Jian's words, Xue Pei was stunned. Why did these two people come out at this time and find their own Zhuangzi?In this life, Xue Pei never thought that he would have to deal with these two people—in the original book, when the monk and Taoist gave Xue Baochai medicine, the original owner was already dead and could not die anymore, so he should have nothing to do with these two people. right.

Now that these two people reappeared, they were still on their own farm, and they still opened their mouths to turn other people's children into monks, which made Xue Pei feel deeply malicious towards these two people in his heart.

In the original book, Xue's family was also visited by these two people, and they also gave Baochai a prescription and blind medicine.It sounds like it is good for Baochai, but that blindly unknown medicine primer can only be used once, and it will be gone after a pair of Lengxiang pills are finished, even if there is a prescription, where should the medicine primer go? looking for?

Or did the monk or Taoist know in his heart that Baochai would not be able to use Lengxiang Wan before the prepared medicine was finished?No one in this world can cure the heat poison in the womb except Xue Pei himself. The same is true for the two magic sticks in the original book. root cause.

Baochai couldn't use Lengxiang pills, so there was only one answer - dead people don't need to take medicine.

He seems to be very friendly to Baochai, but in fact he curses people in person that he will not live long. Such a person is as stupid as Aunt Xue, and as stupid as Xue Pan, so he is regarded as a living Bodhisattva who saves lives and acts for them. Much fanfare.

Thinking about it all the way, Xue Pei's hatred for monks and Taoists increased by two points: let people live their lives well, and meet them once in time travel, and really think that I have nothing to do with them is not it.

"Where is the demon here to confuse the crowd, isn't he thinking of abducting the child so that he can raise it and sell it for money?" As soon as Xue Pei arrived outside the courtyard where Zhen Shiyin lived, he opened his mouth to attack the monks and Taoists.

The monks and Taoists who wanted to show their abilities in Gusu found that the gate of Zhen Shiyin's house was closed when they arrived there.After counting and counting, I realized that Zhen Shiyin had actually gone to teach in a Zhuangzi in Chengxiao, Jinling.

The monk and the Taoist priest were a little puzzled at the time, how could there be any changes in the written fortune telling?However, the two practitioners still knew the saying that the world is impermanent. The two of them thought that there was some opportunity to let Zhen Shiyin travel far away, and without thinking too much, they found Xue Pei's Zhuangzi within an inch.

They didn't disturb others, seeing Feng Shi playing with Yinglian, they asked Feng Shi to give Yinglian to them.The Feng family only had one daughter, and she loved her like an eyeball, so naturally she refused. During the quarrel between the two, Zhen Shiyin, Xue Xiang, and Xue Pan heard the movement and all came out to see what was going on.

The maid of the Feng family came back to understand the reason with Zhen Shiyin. Zhen Shiyin was secretly angry, but maintained his demeanor: "The two masters want to make some fast food, Jiao Xing, go to the kitchen to get the food, and then go to get two taels of silver for you. The two masters added a pair of monk shoes." After taking the things, get out of here.

Ordinarily, Zhen Shiyin has treated each other like this, so the two should come and go wherever they see the disharmony—anyway, they didn't want to turn people into real monks, but they were just an introduction to the Red Chamber, so that a group of lovers could appear Chance.

Unexpectedly, Seng Dao was amazed by Xue Xiang's appearance when he saw someone else, You Ke—according to the theory of fortune, Xue Xiang should still be wandering outside to do business at this time, and should not appear on the Zhuangzi near Jinling, let alone follow Zhen Shiyin read.

And Xue Pan should also be his overlord in Jinling City, and be prepared to rob Yinglian and kill Feng Yuan.He shouldn't be in this small village either.When the two of them appeared in the Zhuangzi, would other members of the Xue family also come?

Numerology changes frequently, and the Taoist monk feels the need to check what went wrong.

Before they could tell others what to say, Xue Pei had already arrived without saying anything, and opened his mouth to scold the kidnappers at the two of them. The two couldn't bear it, and turned their heads to refute Xue Pei's words.

It was good not to look back, but when he turned around, he found that it was Xue Pei, who should have been buried long ago, and the monk couldn't help being shocked: "Why aren't you dead yet?"

Xue Pei was furious: "The monks are merciful, and there is no reason to curse people to death as soon as they meet. It can be seen that he is a fake monk. Come here, tie up these two people and send them to the Yamen."

The Taoist hurried forward, said "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable" to Xue Peisong, slapped his head and said, "Don't be upset, Lay Xue, brother is a quick-tempered man. He saw that there was a bad mark on Lay Xue's face, and there must have been a catastrophe a few days ago. I don't want to Layman Xue made it through safely, so I was a little surprised."

If the person who listened to these words was not Xue Pei, he would naturally believe it.But Xue Pei was the one who set fire to these two, so he could be coaxed by the Taoist with a few words?He sneered: "As long as I go to Jinling City for half a day, nine out of ten people will know that I suffered a serious illness a few days ago and lost all of my family's wealth. The two of you used such a well-known fact to come to my village to swindle money." Kidnap, but miscalculated."

Everyone who thought that monks and priests had some virtues was suddenly awakened by Xue Pei's words: No, it's no secret that Xue Pei was seriously ill, and Xue's family had two thieves and lost money in Jinling City. Now there are common people guessing who stole the money from the Xue family, Zhang San and Li Si can't stop guessing.

The monk and Taoist priest were speechless at how many mortals refuted him, and he was also annoyed in his heart. He secretly used his fingers like flying, trying to figure out what went wrong, and why Xue Pei didn't die.

Not too bad, Xue Pei's fortune-telling was like a mist after a calculation, making it impossible for the two of them to calculate, and they couldn't help but turn pale with shock.The monk blurted out: "Where is the evildoer, it is actually a disaster for the world."

Xue Pei had no sympathy for this monk who always called others monstrous, but he himself was doing something worse than monstrous, and shouted at him: "If others don't give up their children to you, they are monstrous, you act!" I just want to transform someone else's child, so what should I call it?"

The monk was speechless by Xue Pei, pointing at Xue Pei's nose and gasping.The Taoist priest came over to smooth things over again: "Layman really misunderstood. The two of us saw that this child had no fate and would bring trouble to parents, so we wanted to turn her into a monk to resolve Layman Zhen's bad luck."
