The Royal Merchant of the Red Chamber

Let's say that Xue Pan told Mrs. Wang's family the location of the outer house that Wang Zhongxian took care of with two parts of schadenfreude and leisurely watching the excitement.So he took a group of family members to follow Mrs. Wang, ready to watch the excitement again.

Seeing this, Wang Zhongxian, who was hiding behind the door, didn't care about the embarrassment on his face and body, and rushed out quickly, pulling Mrs. Wang's arm and walking back.He kept begging for mercy and said: "My dear wife, please save me some face for now. Wang will go to court as a servant in the future. If you continue to make trouble like this, it will last forever, how can I deal with myself?"

Mrs. Wang snorted coldly, broke away Wang Zhongxian's arm that was holding her, and said with a sneer, "I'll save face for you? Have you ever thought about giving me three points of face? You pat your chest and say, I'm that A jealous woman who can't wait for others? Although I have a bad temper, I have done a good job of being virtuous and virtuous over the years. I gave birth to three sons and two daughters for you, and I bought you Three-bedroom concubine, even my personal girl was given to you as your aunt. What else are you not satisfied with? You still follow the example of those men who are not strong enough to raise a foreign house outside, and even get me a flat-headed couple If I don't make a mess for you, you will really think I'm a good-natured person and be bullied!"

As Mrs. Wang spoke, she became more and more angry.Pushing away Wang Zhongxian who was blocking him, he got into the prepared carriage and went straight to the outer house.

Her carriage was running in front, Xue Pan followed behind with a horse, followed by a hundred or so servants from the Zhongxinhou Mansion, and behind them were ordinary people who would not leave.A group of bustling people squeezed out of Lianhua Hutong and onto the main street.

The mighty crowd naturally attracted the attention of others.There are those who have good things to inquire about, and those who become curious and follow behind.So when Mrs. Wang's car arrived at the outer house, the whole street was crowded with people, making it airtight.

This time Xue Pan learned his lesson and did not rush to the front.Instead, he found a small restaurant across the street from the outer house, and went directly to the second floor, where there was a private room facing the yard of the outer house.Xue Pan took a handful of sunflower seeds and kowtowed, condescendingly watching the commotion in the yard.

Mrs. Wang has already torn with the little goblin that Wang Zhongxian raised.The little goblin's two sons are also seven or eight years old, seeing that their mother has suffered, they naturally quit, and came up together to push Mrs. Wang.The Mrs. Wang seemed to be angry, and immediately ordered the servants and wives who brought him from home to tie him up, slap his mouth and kick him hard.

After such a short time, Wang Zhongxian also caught up from behind.Seeing this scene is naturally intolerable.Quickly untied the outer room and the concubine, and everyone stood in the courtyard and seemed to say a few words, then for some reason, they started fighting again.

Seeing this situation was actually more exciting than watching a play, Xue Pan laughed several times.Someone asked from behind: "This is not Big Brother Xue, why did you run to this remote place? Why are you smiling so happily?"

Startled, Xue Pan turned around quickly, only to see that it was Jia Baoyu who was talking to him, followed by Liu Xianglian.

Xue Pan asked in surprise, "Why did you two come here?"

Liu Xianglian pointed to the alley below and said with a smile: "My home is there. Baoyu came to see me this morning, chatted for a while and saw noon, so I invited him over for a drink and dinner. How could the young master come to such a place?"

No wonder Liu Xianglian was curious.Xue Pan was raised too expensively and meticulously, and his food and clothing were more refined than those in the palace, so he naturally looked down on these crude things outside.What's more, the Xue family's own Fuyuan Restaurant is the most famous restaurant in Beijing. Xue Pan would also go to Fuyuan Restaurant if he wanted to treat guests outside, let alone such a place.

Xue Pan narrowed his eyes amusedly, pointed at the wrestling people below and said with a smile, "I'm here to watch the excitement."

Everyone heard the words and immediately looked out the window.Seeing Wang Zhongxian's family fighting with each other, Liu Xianglian didn't feel anything, but Jia Baoyu said in a daze: "So it's for this. When my father came back, he told me about Mr. Wang's impeachment of elder brother. I I originally thought that with the big brother's temperament, I would definitely not tolerate him. But I didn't expect the big brother's movements to become faster."

Xue Pan snorted twice triumphantly, and said, "If you want to find me unhappy, I will make him unhappy first!"

While talking, he immediately called Jia Baoyu and Liu Xianglian to sit down, ordered another table of good food and wine, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since the few of us got together. I have this opportunity today. As the host, please have a big meal. Let's have a good chat."

Jia Baoyu and the two naturally sat down happily.After the food and wine were served, Jia Baoyu immediately stood up holding the wine glass, and said respectfully, "Let me toast to elder brother first. Thank you for helping me take care of the house during this period of time."

Xue Pan immediately stood up and said, "What are you talking about, aren't we relatives?"

After a pause, he said with a look of thieves again: "Besides, I didn't suffer any disadvantages. I also kept Jia Zhen and the others bleeding once, and asked them to spread the dowry of Feng girl."

Hearing this, Jia Baoyu blushed with embarrassment, shook his head and sighed: "I didn't know that Feng girl did so many things behind her back. If so, she was still in the house and was disgusted by everyone. I really don't know." What to say."

"It's none of your business whether you say it or not." Xue Pan waved his hand nonchalantly, signaling Jia Baoyu not to take it to heart. "I look at it with a cold eye. For so many years, Jia's mother is the only one who is really good to Feng girl in Jia's mansion. If you say that Jia's mansion really has no objection to Feng girl, you are the only one. This is very rare. gone."

Hearing this, Jia Baoyu sighed worriedly, "But no matter what, it's our Jia family who are the first to let others down."

"Actually, Feng girl's methods may not be so benevolent. It's just that she is my mother's only niece, and I don't care about anything." Xue Pan said, picking up chopsticks and holding chopsticks for Jia Baoyu Dish, chuckled softly: "Don't say these annoying things, eat two more mouthfuls of dishes, so as not to drink alcohol."

Jia Baoyu responded, and opened his mouth to eat the dish with chopsticks.

Xue Pan turned his head again and asked Liu Xianglian, "How are you and Yun'er doing?"

Liu Xianglian shook her head dejectedly, and sighed, "Yun'er still refuses to forgive me."

After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly said, "Sister You came to look for me a while ago."

"Her?" Xue Pan raised his eyebrows in astonishment, and asked, "What did she ask you for?"

"Ask me why I don't want to marry her." Liu Xianglian shook her head, and complained to Xue Pan and Jia Baoyu: "To tell you the truth, even if there is no such thing as Yun'er, I might not marry her. Because although she is stunningly beautiful, I always feel her personality... In short, I don't want to find a wife like that."

Xue Pan thought of Third Sister You's domineering, arrogant, and obsessive temperament, nodded with lingering fear, and said with a smile: "Such 'excellent beauty', ordinary people can't stand it."

After a pause, she asked curiously: "By the way, did she say where she lives now, and how is the situation?"

Liu Xianglian shook her head with a wry smile, "Young Lord Hou really has leisure and elegance."

After pondering for a moment, he finally said it.

"It's not good, but it has to be good. Her sister is married to the Zhang family of Huangliang. Now her three mothers and mothers naturally live and eat in Zhang's house. Of course, food and clothing are more expensive than when they were in Ningguo Mansion. , but it can be regarded as having no worries about food and clothing. I heard from the third sister that the people in the Zhang family are not bad except that they are always talking out against them. It’s just that the second sister You messed around with men from the Ningguo Mansion in the boudoir. There has been a lot of rumors, and the Zhang family used this as an excuse to lower the status of the second sister You. The second sister You married as a concubine. Within two months of her marriage, the Zhang family told Zhang Hua again. The house concubine is the daughter of a down-and-out official family, and she can be regarded as a high-ranking member of the Zhang family. I heard that she has a good appearance and character, and she became a family as soon as she entered the house. Although she didn't like the character of Second Sister You, she never felt sorry. What's more..."

When Liu Xianglian said this, she glanced at Xue Pan hesitantly, and kept silent.

Xue Pan was just about to hear what he was interested in, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Xianglian sighed, shook her head and said, "Second Sister You drank a bowl of confinement medicine when she was in Jia's mansion. The medicine was so strong that she couldn't conceive again. Don't take her seriously. If Zhang Hua is still greedy for Second Sister You's beauty and goes to stay in her room from time to time, she is probably an invisible person in the Zhang family."

Xue Pan was taken aback for a moment, and sighed inexplicably.

He remembered that it was Yuanyang who brought the medicine to Second Sister You that night.He thought of Yuanyang's disposition of vengeance and revenge, and of her relationship with Sister Feng and Ping'er, and he felt a little clear about it.

This girl who secretly took the old lady's things out to pawn for Sister Feng, this fierce girl who risked her life to cry and hang herself because of Jia Amnesty's entanglement, is a person who doesn't even care about her own life. , He is not surprised to be able to do such a thing.

It's just a pity that Second Sister You is gone.What a wrong step, and a lifetime of suffering.In such a world where women regard their husbands as their heavens and their sons as their heavens, she has lost her qualifications to be a mother.Xue Pan couldn't imagine how she would live in the next few decades.

It's just that Xue Pan, who was so embarrassed at this time, didn't know that because the second sister You couldn't conceive again, and because Liu Xianglian rejected the third sister You, the disheartened third sister You finally decided to climb up to Zhang Hua. She was pregnant with his child, and after the child was born, she gave it to Second Sister You, and she really cut off her love, and went to the temple to be her sister-in-law.

As for Second Sister You, although she spent the rest of her life huddled in Zhang Hua's back house, seemingly stable and peaceful, her experience of letting others play with her in the outside room made her unable to hold her head up for the rest of her life.Not to mention that the family's master and servants look down on her, even when her son grows up, he gets closer to the gentle and dignified lady.For her, there is only the shame of a woman's infidelity.Even after being an imperial examination examiner, he brought his family members to work abroad, and never came back to see her throughout his life...

Xue Pan didn't know at this time that these two stunning beauties who disturbed the Rongning and Ning Prefectures as soon as they appeared, finally paid the price for their frivolous and hasty actions.Even if there is no fragrance in the body, the hearts of the two beauties, after experiencing the vicissitudes of the world, eventually become riddled with holes and will never be the same again.

That youthful and frivolous self-satisfaction, that flying face, finally disappeared in the cruel washing of time.

The splendor disappears.
