The Red Mansion's Late Welcome Spring

Within a few months after the Zhen family was confiscated, another number of officials, large and small, were dismissed from office and ransacked their homes because of their close association with the Zhen family. Among them, Jinling had the most vacancies and urgently needed a batch of new blood to replace them.

Xue Baochai's new husband-in-law, Yang Wending, was one of them, so Xue Baochai and Yang Wending had been married for more than two months, and Yang Wending received an appointment order from the Ministry of Officials, ordering him to go to Jinling immediately to take up the post of official in Yingtianfu. He and his wife thought about the young couple who were newly married and had no children. There was absolutely no reason for them to separate the two places, so they took the initiative to let Xue Baochai take office with Yang Wending. a little busy.

Aunt Xue heard that her daughter and son-in-law were going to Jinling to become an official, and she also felt that the capital was not interesting. Mrs. Wang asked her to 'borrow money' every day. In her heart, it was all the capital to support her son's family in the future. If it was all taken away, how would she and her son live on in the future?Can you still rely on your daughter and son-in-law?So after careful consideration, she decided to take her son and future in-laws back to Jinling with her daughter. As for the mess in her sister's house, it was naturally out of sight.

Speaking of the future in-laws, it is naturally related to Xue Pan's marriage... and the process is also very tortuous and bizarre! !why?Because his kid actually brought back Xiangling's mother, Feng Shi, after he traveled far away.

As for how Xue Pan met Feng Shi, according to Xue Pan’s explanation to Aunt Xue: One day, he wandered the streets of a certain place with a few servants, looking to see if there was anything novel to bring back. Selling in the capital, walking, happened to pass by a Shuiyue nunnery... Of course, this Shuiyue nunnery is not the other Shuiyue nunnery, and then he saw Feng's praying and crying to Goddess Guanyin inside, this kid didn't know why he was so kind all of a sudden Dafa turned around and went into the nunnery, concerned about the reason for Feng's crying.

When Mrs. Feng heard someone ask her, she naturally vented out about the fire at the Gourd Temple, the loss of her daughter, and her husband's renunciation, etc. back then.

Listening to Feng Shi's words, Xue Pan became more and more curious, especially when he heard Feng Shi say that there was a rouge mark on her lost daughter's forehead, the first thought that popped up in his mind was, how does this look sound so so? Like Xiangling? !

So Xue Pan, who was a domineering but stupid-minded man, brought Feng Shi back to the capital together, thinking that if Xiangling was Feng Shi's daughter, maybe he would have a chance to marry her as his wife. After all, according to Feng's description of the situation to him along the way, Xiangling's family used to be a scholarly family, and it would not be a disadvantage to match him.

After Feng's meeting with Xiangling, mother and daughter naturally recognized each other, and they both hugged and cried. After Xue Baochai knew the cause and effect, she naturally released Xiangling's slavery without saying a word. Aunt Xue pitied their mother and daughter, so she also Regardless of the fact that Xiangling used to be a maid, let alone that Xiangling was grown up by her, with a good appearance and a good temperament, the important thing is... her son likes it....

The day before Xue Baochai got married, Jia Yingchun was invited to Xue's house to have sister tea. When she saw Xiangling sitting at the same table with them at the banquet, she and Lin Daiyu were very surprised, and then learned the news from Xue Baochai. .

"So, Big Brother Xue and Xiang... No! Now it's time to call you Sister Yinglian. It's a good thing that Sister Yinglian can reunite with her mother, but I don't know what plans Mrs. Feng has in the future?" Lin Daiyu finally Recover first, she said with a smile.

"Well... my mother said that when she returned to Beijing with the uncle, the uncle mentioned our matter to her. After returning, I heard that the wife also mentioned this to the mother. However, the mother is worried that our family is not what it used to be. However, I lived in Xue's house for a few years, and on the one hand, she was worried that my reputation would be damaged in the future, and on the other hand, she was reluctant to let me suffer hardships with her, so... I am still thinking about it." Now it has been changed back to The original name Zhen Yinglian nodded shyly and replied.

"Oh! I didn't expect that this girl is also from a famous family. It is really disrespectful and disrespectful. I was worried that if Bao girl was not in her natal family in the future, no one in this family could restrain Brother Xue. But if you look at him in the future, it will be okay I'm not afraid that he will cause trouble again, I think it can be done! If Mrs. Feng has any scruples, can't we solve it with the few of us?" Wang Xifeng also felt happy for Zhen Yinglian, although Xue Pan acted His style is a bit out of tune, but he treats the girl he likes sincerely, not just playing lip service like someone else.

Listening to Wang Xifeng's words, Jia Yingchun suddenly remembered that Xue's family came to Beijing in a hurry, wasn't it because they were involved in a murder case?But she remembered that someone would bring up the old case of the Xue family in the future, but she didn't know if that Feng Yuan was really dead?After all, a lot of things have changed now, how do you know that that person is not actually still in this world?If they were still there, everything would be easy to handle. It seemed that she would have to find a chance to remind Xue Baochai. She couldn't happily get married at one end, and then some disaster suddenly happened at the other end.

"Sister-in-law is right. Since my aunt is willing to take the initiative to propose to Mrs. Feng, it means that she is willing to accept this marriage in her heart. Besides, you have never gone out, and now you have changed your name and surname. Don't admit it, the curiosity of outsiders will dissipate in a few days." Jia Yingchun said to Zhen Yinglian while thinking about things.

"In the past few days, I have been persuading her in the same way, but she just can't let it go. You guys should say a few words for me, not to mention that the Xue family is not short of that idea of ​​dowry, and my stupid brother is a big spender. In the future Doesn't she have to take care of everything in the family? No matter how much mother can take care of them, she can't take care of them forever, right?" Xue Baochai said from the side.

"Sister Bao's words are also a bit wrong. My sister-in-law once told me how many women she had seen outside were rejected by her husband's family because they had no money. Mother, get up early and go to bed late, and work hard for her husband's family, but when something big happens, the husband's family will still be able to wipe away the credit of her previous half-life, better, at least It's not good to be a grieving woman in a certain yard, and it's not uncommon for someone to drive out of the house with empty hands." Lin Daiyu shook her head and retorted.

"If you're worried about the dowry, it's much easier. We've known each other for a long time, so it's no big deal to help out a little. Besides, Lin girl is right, Bao girl, I didn't say it, no matter how generous my aunt is, Xue The family will not become the Zhen family, Yinglian should have some silver in her hands to be serious, I have experience in this kind of thing, listen to me." Is there anything Wang Xifeng doesn't understand?The Feng family did not dare to agree to Xue Pan and Zhen Yinglian's marriage, but because the so-called Zhen family no longer exists, and she and her daughter are now dependent on Xue's family, so there is something that can be used as a dowry for her daughter At the beginning, when she returned to her mother's house as a monk, she was tried every means to rob her of her money and was driven out of the house, let alone her daughter entered Xue's house in the future, she really had nothing.

How could Xue Baochai not know what Feng's concerns are, but she always believed that her elder brother Xue Pan's control of the family was ultimately her elder brother Xue Pan's. The attitude is very respectful, and there will be no unnecessary problems, but now listening to a few people, I am afraid that some things are purely because of insecurity, right?This is also human nature... Even if she has a rich dowry, she still worries about other things, not to mention Zhen Yinglian's always timid and timid temperament, if something happens to her brother one day, even herself I dare not say that I will not sacrifice Zhen Yinglian first.

"Not good! Not good! How can I use your money? My mother said that she can find a way to make money. She said that she used to save money by embroidery in other places. She thought that there might be no shortage of things in the capital." People who are good at embroidery are not without connections." Zhen Yinglian quickly declined.

"What's wrong? It's the friendship between sisters. You are going to get married, and this makeup ceremony is also indispensable. Just treat it as us adding makeup for you." Lin Daiyu said.

"Yes, if you want to talk about adding makeup, it depends on your personal opinion. No one said how much etiquette you can add. Even... we will express our thoughts." Jia Yingchun nodded in agreement.

"Then...thank you..." Zhen Yinglian lowered her head and thanked in a low voice shyly.

After everyone followed this sentence, Wang Xifeng talked about Xue Baochai's future uncle. Jia Yingchun would occasionally add something she knew about the situation in the Yang family's inner house. I also went to Yang's house once or twice with my mother-in-law, so it can be regarded as a little preparation for Xue Baochai.

When the crowd was about to leave, Jia Yingchun took Xue Baochai aside and asked her about Xue Pan beating Feng Yuan to death.

"I always remember what you said. At the beginning, it was my brother who was not honest enough. At that time, I secretly asked the old housekeeper to pay attention to the Feng family. Later, the old housekeeper wrote to me, saying that it was the subordinate who was going to sue the officials. People are not good things at all. Seeing that their master was seriously injured, they only asked people to carry them home, and then ignored them, and told people everywhere that my servant beat his master to death. Obviously that Mr. Feng still hanged himself Fortunately, there were still one or two loyal members in his family, so the old housekeeper returned the things to them and asked them to take good care of them. If necessary, just go to our door for help. Seeing that Mr. Feng recovered from his illness, he disappeared somewhere, and even the Feng family never went back." Seeing Jia Yingchun concerned about the past, Xue Baochai confessed without hesitation.

"That servant ran away? Aren't you afraid that you will become a fugitive slave and be traced by the government?" Jia Yingchun asked in confusion.

"The old steward said that it was not the son of the Feng family, but he signed a contract of living for several years, Mr. Feng didn't want to pursue it, so the government naturally couldn't care about it." Xue Baochai sighed and said helplessly.

"So that's how it is... so I can rest assured..." Jia Yingchun secretly let out a sigh of relief. If Xue Pan's affairs are not handled well, even Xue Baochai's marriage will be affected. Fortunately, it sounds like this is a good result. Yes, that Feng Yuan is also a good-natured person.

After Xue Baochai and Yang Wen got engaged, they were very affectionate, but not long after, Xue Baochai left Beijing with her husband and son-in-law to work in Jinling. After that, it took several years for them to see each other again.

Aunt Xue was not in a hurry to follow at the moment, she was busy making an appointment for Xue Biao and Xing Xiuyan first, although Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin did not plan to return to Jinling for a while, Aunt Xue still made it clear to Uncle Xing that they would wait for the next year So they sent people over to discuss the date of marriage, and then at the beginning of November, they took Xue Pan and Feng's mother and daughter with them and set off for Jinling.
