Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

Daiyu Jinyu sent her father away, and the two siblings lived behind closed doors, and the door was more cautious.

Now everyone in Yangzhou is going to participate in the succession ceremony. The rest are not as high as Lin Ruhai in official positions, or not as holy as Lin Ruhai. Knowing that Lin Ruhai is not there, they don't come to the door easily. The days are quieter than before.

Leaving aside the fact that the Lin family had been peaceful for a while, the Xue family in Jinling City was blown up.

"Ma'am, something is wrong. The uncle beat someone to death outside!" Yu Fu's roommate, Xue Wang's housewife, the head of the Xue family, ran in to report, with a panicked face and exaggerated gestures with both hands.

Xue Wang's eyes dimmed and she almost fell off the couch. It was her daughter Xue Baochai who was able to support her mother, and said in a repeated voice, "Mother, don't worry about it for now, let's listen to the nanny first, what happened in the ins and outs?" thing?"

Xue Baochai asked, and fed her mother two more sips of tea. Only then did Xue Wang stabilize her heart and asked, "Where is the uncle? Where is that evil?"

Yu Fu's family said, "Uncle is still drinking outside."

The Xue family is also one of the four major families in Jinling City. It has a very wide range of people, has been in business for generations, and has a huge family fortune.Xue Wang was born in one of the four major families, the Wang family. The current Jingying Jiedu envoy Wang Ziteng is Xue Wang's elder brother, and Xue Wang's older sister married the Jia family of Rongguo Mansion. In Jinling City, who would dare Don't sell their Xue family some face.

Xue Wangshi was not serious when he heard this, so he glared at Yu Fu's family, and scolded, "It's worth being blind like you, what's going on, have you found out clearly?"

"Yes, I met a girl when I went out this morning. Because I was bought by a young master first, the uncle saw it right and wanted to buy it by force. The young master refused to follow her, and the two conflicted, so I beat her to death. The young master also had a girl. There are several acres of Susukida, and there are old servants and young servants at home, but his parents died early and have no one to rely on. After his death, the old servants in the family have sued the yamen." Yu Fu's family said, "My uncle ordered someone to send that girl back, and I have to ask How do you arrange it when the wife speaks?"

Xue Wang waved his hand, "Go down first, we'll talk about it later." After Yu Fu's family left, Xue Wang scolded, "What a villain." There is only this single root and solitary species, who will be relied on for the rest of her life. Xue Wang thinks that her husband passed away early, and her son is useless. If it weren't for her natal family, she might be robbed of her qualifications as an imperial merchant.Now that someone was killed again, I couldn't help but feel discouraged and burst into tears.

"Mother." Xue Baochai called and said, "Mother, do you want to call brother back first?"

Xue Wang shook her head, "Your brother's temperament can't be changed. The current plan is to get things done first, and people like us can really let your brother go to jail and pay for his life?"

"Seeing that there is no one in that family, there is only an old servant left, clamoring for a lawsuit, just to extort a few taels of silver from our family." Xue Baochai said, "Why don't you ask your uncle or aunt for an idea?"

"My son, you can speak to your mother's heart." Xue Wang touched her daughter's slender face, thinking that her daughter's outstanding appearance might be a good fortune, and worried that her son would be left alone, so he said, "With your father gone, the other houses are fighting like black-eyed chickens, and there is no kinship. I will write to your aunt. After the lawsuit is over, let's go to the capital to live for a while. We girls In the inner house all day long, how can I look after your elder brother, and when you go to Beijing, you have your uncle and uncle, so you can take care of him and support him."

Stupid Xue is a very lucky person. This time, Jia Yucun, the presiding judge, relied on the power of Jia and Wang, so he didn't embarrass him at all. The Xue family spent thousands of silver to manage it. With a pair of sons and daughters, packed up and saluted and set off for Kyoto.

At that time, Prince Teng was promoted to the patrol system of nine provinces, and his family was about to take office. Mrs. Wang saw that her brother was promoted and was in short supply. She was worried that she would lose her natal relatives, and she felt a little lonely.He was overjoyed to hear that his sister had come to Beijing, and hurriedly invited Jia Mu to meet again.

Sanchun and Baoyu are both present, Xue Baochai is wearing a plain ferret fur coat, under which is a light blue pleated satin skirt, wearing a flying phoenix white jade hairpin inlaid with pearls and jewels, and holding a string from large to small in the phoenix mouth. The bead string hangs on the forehead, exquisite and extravagant.Look at Xue Baochai's snow-like skin, eyes like water apricots, face like a silver plate, and a slightly plump figure. When she bows softly, she has a special charm.

Mother Jia also liked it a little bit, and said with a smile, "Good boy, get up."

Xue Baochai's eyes are very high, but seeing Sanchun's appearance and demeanor are not vulgar, she is not amiable. I met with my sisters, Mrs. Wang put Xue Baochai on her arm and said with a smile, "This is your cousin Baoyu."

Baoyu liked girls the most, and she was overjoyed to see such a beautiful and outstanding cousin, so she bowed and said, "Hello, Sister Bao."

Xue Baochai returned the gift with a smile.

Mother Jia laughed and said, "Cousin is here now, do you know you have a cousin in Yangzhou?"

Jia Baoyu smiled, "How can we not know, last year when cousin Lin came, we had the best time, and I wonder if cousin Lin will come again this year. Old ancestor, let's send someone to pick up cousin. Listen It is said that the younger sister of the aunt's family is also very good, so taking the younger sister to live with her at home and having someone to take care of her, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Mrs. Wang's eyes dimmed, and the smile on her face stiffened.Jia's mother said, "It's still Baoyu who thinks well, girl Feng, and send someone to pay my respects to Uncle Lin, and bring my poor granddaughter here by the way."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Yes, yes, but my grandson heard that many officials came to Beijing to attend the emperor's succession ceremony. Uncle Lin holds an important position, so all of them would come. Uncle Lin will come to pay respects to the ancestor, The old ancestor directly asked for someone, and I prepared everything for Sister Lin to order, and compared everything to the three sisters, how about it?"

Mother Jia nodded with a smile, and Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Let's invite the ancestor and aunt to the table first. The hot pot is ready and the wine is warm. After a while, the cold will cool down, and the ancestor will have to blame girl Feng for neglecting her." Aunt and cousin."

Everyone eats and drinks without mentioning it.

Xue Pan has already met Jia Zheng, and Jia Lian led him to meet Jia Amnesty, Jia Zhen and so on.Jia Zheng sent someone to come up and say to Mrs. Wang, "my aunt is old enough, and my nephew is young and doesn't know the way of the world. I'm afraid there will be trouble if I live outside. There are a dozen or so rooms in Lixiangyuan in the northeast corner of our house. I'm free for cleaning. Yes, it would be nice to invite my aunt and sisters to stay here."

Before Mrs. Wang could stay, Mother Jia also said, "Please stay here, my aunt, and let's be closer" and so on.Aunt Xue was about to live together, so she could hold her son tighter. If she lived elsewhere, she was afraid that he would indulge in sex and cause trouble, so she hurriedly thanked her for agreeing.

Jia Zheng's words may be sincere, let Xue Pan live in Jia's mansion, be more careful, so that he won't go out and cause trouble for himself.It is said that Jia Zheng was devoted to studying, he was uncommunicative, but he was extremely noble, even Jia Baoyu couldn't understand him, not to mention Xue Pan, who recklessly hurt people's lives, but he was not his son after all, and it was not his turn to discipline him.

Mother Jia's words to keep guests were purely polite. Chinese people have been like this for a long time. They like to show some false politeness.
