The Royal Merchant of the Red Chamber

Inside the Rongqing hall, Xue Pan and others couldn't help sighing when they saw the flustered actions of the female family members of Jia's family.The so-called duke's family has been passed down to the present and its descendants and family members are so stupid and ineffective. No wonder Tu Zhen is determined to wipe out the four kings and eight princes.Such a person, even if he is capable of self-cultivation and family management, let alone governing the country and the world?

If the Jinxiu Rivers and Mountains were really governed by these people, and if the people of Dayong were really governed by these people, the change of dynasty might not be far away.

Xue Pan waved his hand, interrupting Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang's mutual accusations.The matter of the Tong family is over, and he did not come here today to bring up the past and ask the teacher for a crime.It's just using this as a means to suppress the arrogance of everyone in the Rongguo Mansion regardless of whether they are young or not.Now that the goal has been achieved, Xue Pan will not bother.Clearing his throat immediately, he asked, "I came here today mainly to ask about Sister Feng's son. Then Jia Lian stopped marrying another wife between the filial piety of the country and the family, and even married a ragtag who was tired of sleeping by Jia Zhen from the Ningguo Mansion. Ladies, do you ever know."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was speechless again.

Xue Pan frowned, and said: "I also heard that the concubine married Jia Lian for more than two months, and was diagnosed with a pregnancy for more than a month - I know that Jia Lian is concerned about his heirs, so he should think carefully about it. Don't just wear a hat for nothing just because you are anxious, and give someone else to raise a son. Although this child is probably sexual, there are some things that need to be clarified in advance."

At this point, Xue Pan paused, looked at Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, and said pointedly: "After all, Jia Lian is the eldest grandson of the Rongguo Mansion who is eligible to inherit the title. If the heir born by Second Sister You is a The male fetus is the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion... With such an identity, if there is a problem with the flesh and blood, it would be a big joke."

When everyone in Jia's mansion heard this, they felt their faces were hot, and they all lowered their heads, wishing to find a crack in the ground to get in.

Xue Pan snorted coldly when he saw this, and asked: "One more thing, I heard what Feng girl said, that Jia Lian stopped his wife and remarried in the filial piety of Jia Lian's family. Why, in the mouths of the people in the house, it turned out that my Feng girl was domineering, jealous, and refused to buy a concubine for Jia Lianna, which forced the men to play cats and dogs outside, no matter what kind of smelly Splashing into your own room?"

All the female family members of Jia's family all turned their heads to look at Sister Feng, intending to say something, but finally lowered their heads embarrassingly, and didn't hear a word.

Xue Pan stood in the middle of the ground and looked at the expressions of all the female relatives. He sneered in his heart, but continued to ask in an orderly manner: "I am confused. Let alone Jia Lian's house. The aunt who puts her face in the house, you can see her beauty, appearance and even her temperament. Isn't it better than the 'new grandma' who hangs out with people outside and is more messy than a fan? Furthermore, the country During the period of filial piety and family filial piety, you all know the law that people with titles in the court must abide by their ranks? At this juncture, Jia Lian had to make a fuss about marrying a new grandmother. Could it be that the sperm rushed to his head and died for the sake of women? Don't you want any more?"

"He is a woman who is foolish and confused, and you people are all right, let him mess around?" Xue Pan frowned and asked Mrs. Xing, "I also heard Feng girl say that the old man in the house is here. He also gave Jia Lian a servant girl, saying that it was a reward for his meritorious service. I would like to ask, what earth-shattering event did Jia Lian accomplish when he went to Pingan Prefecture? For my son?"

These words were too naked, naked and straightforward, only to hear Mrs. Xing's face flushed, and she didn't know what to say.

The female family members of the Jia family were even more embarrassed when they heard the news.Everyone lowered their heads, not even daring to answer a sentence.

This matter was originally their fault, if Xue Pan had no intention of asking the teacher to ask for guilt, it would be better to say that they are elders, and it is another family's private matter, so it is perfunctory to evade it.

However, when Xue Pan mentioned Jia Yucun earlier, he showed signs of turning his back.Now that there is such a commotion about Sister Feng's matter, although they intend to refute one or two things, they dare not say anything because they are scruples about what will be said in front of them.

After all, I really annoyed the Zhongxin Hou's mansion, Xue Pan casually chewed a few words in front of the Holy Majesty, the Holy Majesty thought that the four kings and eight princes were not pleasing to the eye, and if he ordered to rectify it according to the current situation, even if he didn't ransack the family and exterminate the family, he would have to lose A layer of skin.

It must be the benefits of real gold, silver, high-ranking officials and generous salaries. What's the point of being scolded for a few words at this moment? You are in your own home. As long as you tell your servants not to talk too much, and there is no gossip in the Zhongxinhou's mansion, who can do it? Can it be passed on outside?

Bear with it, and wait for the family members of the Zhongxinhou Mansion to emit a wave of evil fire.

Thinking of this, everyone in Jia's mansion became calmer.Seeing it in Xue Pan's eyes, he shook his head wryly.

He stopped talking embarrassingly, and stopped wasting his saliva. He just raised his eyebrows and asked, "We've been here for half a day, why hasn't Jia Lian come out to make amends to his wife? Could it be that he was really seduced by the vixen outside and was about to do it?" The scandal of pampering concubines and destroying wives?"

At that moment, Mother Jia came back to her senses, and immediately ordered: "Go to the door and pass the message, and say that I said it. I quickly found the second master and came back, and I want to ask about it."

door

The little girl at the mouth responded and ran out quickly.

Xue Pan said again: "Not only him, but also Jia Zhen from the East Mansion, Youshi and the elders of your mansion have also been invited here. I heard that the concubine Jia Lian married was also Youshi's younger sister. Everyone is on their own. They simply sent someone to Lianhua Alley to bring in the outer room. And the bride from Fengyatou’s courtyard. I want to see what kind of woman she is. Can be so bewildered that Jia Lian doesn't even want face and future. How can he deceive himself and make a new grandma!"

When Jia Mu saw this, she could only sigh, waved her hands and said, "You heard it all! Do as the young master ordered."

Xue Pan didn't take it seriously when she heard that Jia's mother changed her name to call herself the young master.Hooking the corners of his mouth, he sat down on the chair with his clothes on, picked up the tea that the little girl put on while everyone was talking, and drank it in one gulp.

After talking about this half-day effort, his mouth was really parched.

Everyone was silent, and after waiting for about half an hour, they saw Jia Lian, Jia Zhen and his wife from Ningguo Mansion, Jia Rong and two beautiful girls and an old lady in rich clothes came together.On the contrary, Jia She was not in the mansion, and the little girl who sent the message came back immediately.

Everyone in Jia Lian walked into the Rongqing Hall with breathless concentration, first greeted Jia's mother respectfully and said, "I have seen the old ancestor."

Mother Jia closed her eyes, waved her hand and said, "I didn't ask you to come here. It's the young master who has something to say to you."

Everyone was stunned, and looked at Xue Pan, who was sitting safely and holding a teacup, and blinked. Then Jia Zhen took the lead and said with a smile: "It turns out that it is Brother Xue. What wind blows you here."

Xue Pan glanced at Jia Zhen with a half-smile, and said, "Naturally, it's an unhealthy trend of stopping wives and remarrying in the filial piety of the country and family, blowing over me."

When Jia Lian heard this, she glanced guiltily at Wang Xifeng behind Jia's mother, and remained silent.

Xue Pan ignored Jia Zhen and the others, and his eyes fell directly on the second Youshi sisters.The elder sister is gentle and demure, gentle and amiable, and she is indeed a stunning person who makes people happy to see her.Next to her, Third Sister You had a beautiful face and a coquettish figure, staring fiercely at everyone in the hall with a pair of eyebrows.A pair of arms held Second Sister You firmly in their arms.A pair of lips were tightly pursed, revealing a little stubbornness and disdain.

Seeing Xue Pan's calm and scrutinizing gaze, she said angrily, "What are you going to do? Do you think that the Jia family is powerful enough to bully us orphans and widows? You are not afraid of making jokes if you spread the word. "

Xue Pan couldn't help laughing, and said, "It's because you are greedy for wealth and honor, and you like to eat and wear well, so you don't want to be lonely and rush to be bullied and made fun of. Why are you acting so innocent now? The woman who wears a self-recommended pillow mat and even seduces men before the funeral is not your sister? Being a whore and wanting to set up a chastity memorial archway, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world."

Even in an open society like later generations, they still hold a contemptuous attitude towards the controversial industry of prostitutes and mistresses, not to mention the Dayong Dynasty, where feudal dogma is very serious.They are obviously the daughters of an innocent family, and they obviously have the opportunity to be a virtuous and virtuous daughter-in-law, but they themselves refuse.Ning Ke lived in Ningguo Mansion as a relative, and got entangled with Jia Zhen and Jia Rong's father and son, and now they are mixed with Jia Lian.Such a person, no matter how pitiful and deplorable it is in the evaluation of later generations, in Xue Pan's heart, there is still no sympathy for him.

Without him, whoever is a slut will always be a slut.

"People value self-knowledge and self-respect, so they can be respected by others. You sisters, sister-in-law Zhen, were originally brought to Ningguo Mansion because sister-in-law Zhen was busy with funeral ceremonies and could not take care of her. It was because you, as her family members, could help She is more. But who would have thought that you don't know self-love, not only seduced her husband and his son during the filial period, but now even her relatives are not spared. Have you ever thought that you shamelessly hooked up with Jia Lian How does sister-in-law Zhen behave in front of Sister Feng? They are sisters-in-law and get along very well. It is because you two shameless vixen seduced Jia Lian that the two of them now look at each other If you are an enemy, ask yourself, are you worthy of sister-in-law Zhen?"

When the You's two sisters heard the words, they were angry and ashamed, annoyed and ashamed.Xue Pan was annoyed that his words were harsh and mean, and he was so ashamed that what he had done really didn't make it to the stage.What made the trouble was that Xue Pan blindly blamed them all, but he didn't want to think that it was Jia Zhenjia Lian's greed for the beauty of the two sisters that gave them an opportunity, and it was Xue Pan who was ashamed of every word he said. , although it sounds ugly, but when you think about it carefully, it is really the case.

At that moment, Third Sister You glanced at You Shi with some guilt, turned her head and said with a stiff neck, "Don't talk so high-soundingly. It's a mess under the clear water, and our family knows our own affairs. You Lian from Jia's Mansion The second master coveted my sister's beauty and docileness, and was afraid of his tigress, so he coaxed my sister into being his second wife—"

Xue Pan immediately interrupted Third Sister You, and said contemptuously: "Don't talk so nicely. What is coaxing? Second Sister You is sister-in-law Zhen's sister-in-law. You and Jia's family are related by marriage, even if you didn't You must have heard of the reputation of Feng girl. Besides, as sister-in-law Zhen, knowing that your sister wants to marry into Jia's family, why don't you tell you about Jia Lian. She is your sister He is greedy for prosperity, good food and good clothes, and feels that Jia Zhen is tired of playing with her, and refuses to honestly live a hard life with Zhang Hua, so he turns around and finds Jia Lian, willing to degenerate and become his concubine. In my opinion Come on, this is obviously a naked, naked power and sex transaction, don't say it is too wronged."

As Xue Pan said, he looked at Second Sister You with disdain. If he had to say that he still admired Third Sister You who resolutely committed suicide halfway through self-reflection, for this Second Sister You who had been submissive from beginning to end, obviously greedy and helpless Sis is downright boring.

A ruined flower with no reputation and no family background actually tried to compete with the direct line girl of the Wang family.Xue Pan hooked the corners of his mouth and said with great interest: "I heard that when you were in the house outside Lianhua Lane, you asked Jia Lian's entourage about Feng girl. You not only coaxed the servants to say 'new grandma' Better than the old grandma', what did you say 'just treat her with courtesy, she dares to do anything'. I originally thought that I could boast a woman who could compete with the daughter of the grand scholar Wang's family and the niece of Mrs. Zhongxinhou's mansion What an outstanding person. Looking at it face to face, needless to say, this family background and even character, even the appearance that this woman relies on the most...you are not better than our Feng girl?"

What she said made Second Sister You's face flushed, tears welled up in her eyes, and she almost wanted to cry.She subconsciously turned her head to look at Jia Lian with a face of grievance, her mournful and indignant look further accentuated her softness and petiteness, which made the men present fascinated.

A trace of unbearableness flashed across Jia Lian's face, seeing Xue Pan wanting to say something, but in the end, being concerned about Xue Pan's identity, he still didn't say anything.

When Second Sister You saw this, she couldn't hide her disappointment and lowered her head.

The third sister You hugged the second sister You in her arms even more tightly, like a hen protecting the calf, she raised her head and said, "I know that the little duke is precious, it's not how we can tell, but you don't It's too much. Since my sister is married to the second master Lian, she is his wife. If the second grandmother in the house is really tolerant, why did this situation happen? I think the rumors outside are not wrong. The second mistress on the Internet is a thick-faced, dark-hearted, jealous woman."

Xue Pan chuckled, and said, "How girl Feng behaves is spread freely by people in the market, but you sisters Youshi really don't have the right to comment—even if girl Feng is really jealous, so what, who in the world really likes her husband?" Can a good woman tolerate her husband's infidelity? So what's wrong with her maintaining her marriage and not wanting other women to get involved? Even so, she can't bear to give Jia Lian a flattery. What is Pinger's character? You must have heard Jia Lian's entourage mention it, no matter in terms of appearance or conduct, is it much better than your flirtatious sister who doesn't talk about chastity at all?"

When Third Sister You heard this, she raised her eyebrows from embarrassment and cursed: "You—"

After thinking about it, I didn't know what to scold, so I could only say bitterly: "Our two sisters were young and ignorant, and we were coaxed by the men of Jia's family. We think we are unlucky. But when people don't make mistakes, it is hard to succeed. Because our sisters and the brothers of the Jia family have had a good time, won't we give our sisters a way out?"

Then, he pointed at Xue Pan and said angrily: "You are a marquis, so you are naturally superior. How can you understand the hardships of us poor daughters. Since my father passed away, my old mother has brought us two sisters to live hard. For so many years, There were times when we were hungry and full, and even when there was no rice for the pot. What do you tell us to do, there is no man in the family to make money to support the family, so why are we still alive?"

"So you robbed sister-in-law Zhen's husband and son without feeling guilty?" Xue Pan looked at Third Sister You in surprise, wondering where her resentment came from.

"I still know the character of sister-in-law Zhen. Although she is usually clumsy, her personality is gentle and cowardly. But she has a pure nature. Although you are her stepmother and step-sister, with her character, she will definitely not embarrass you. Life is on the sidelines. I am afraid that the usual charity and secretly sending money are indispensable! Even when there was a funeral in Ningguo Mansion, sister-in-law Zhen was afraid that she would be too busy to visit you, and sent someone to take you to the mansion to take care of her. It's a beautiful name to tell you to come and look at the house..."

When Xue Pan said this, he sighed even more embarrassingly: "Is this how you repay others?"

The two sisters of Youshi, including Mrs. You, felt their faces were hot when they heard the words, and looked at Youshi with some guilt.

Youshi on the side has been watching with cold eyes ever since she stepped into Rongqing Hall, now seeing Xue Pan reprimanding sister Youshi every sentence, every sentence speaks to her heart.I couldn't help but have red eyes and wept silently.

Jia Zhen, who was standing with her hands tied, glanced at the crying Youshi with some annoyance, and suddenly received two cold warning glances from Xue Pan, she couldn't help but tense her scalp, and lowered her head.

Seeing it, Xue Pan looked at You Shi with more compassion.It's really not worth it for her.

Seeing this, Mother Jia, who had been silent for a long time, shook her head helplessly.His children and grandchildren were called over by Xue Pan's words, and they stood there numbly, almost scolded by him one by one.But I could only listen to it in silence, not even daring to refute.

Mother Jia shook her head bitterly, and asked, "Young Master scolded me too, so I must be angry. Looking at it now, Young Master thinks how to deal with this matter?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in Rongqing Hall was frightened again, and their gazes involuntarily focused on Xue Pan.
