Red Mansions I am Aunt Xue

"What's the matter? Are you talking to me again?" Xue Qian came into the back room after seeing off the guests and changing into clothes that smelled of alcohol.

"Who can I get angry with?" Having said that, he only handed the letter to Xue Qian, and Xue Ning said angrily, "Tell me, what does she mean? Tell Brother Qiu about Yingchun in Dafang Son, why didn't you mention Yuan Chun to our elder brother earlier. The age of the two of them is the best match, and they are even more intimate, right?"

"Don't be angry. My aunt and wife will only ask about this disappearing matter."

"Hmph! Ask? You mean I'm really angry? You read this again." Xiao Ning gave Xue Qian another piece of letter paper, "Look at what she said in the letter? It seems that our Xue family is begging to send sister It's like marrying into her family. Bah! She thought so well, Jia Zhu didn't know what the future would be like with a jar of water so deep in Jia's house, but she was still high-spirited when she said that our sister is Fengsheng, Fang's wife Get Jia Zhu."

After Xue Qianning looked at it, he pulled Xue Ning to sit beside him, and said, "My aunt and wife don't mean that, so it's really like what you said? After all, our family belongs to the merchant. Although Jia Zhu is the second room If the eldest son is a good one, it is also feasible."

Mrs. Wang is not really superior, but Xue Ning doesn't like Jia's family at all.What will happen to Jia Zhu in the future, it's hard to say if she can't get over that hurdle, how could she push her daughter there.But Xue Qian didn't know, he felt that if Jia Zhu was a good person, it would be fine.In this day and age, more and more people marry their daughters into relatives' homes, firstly to increase their closeness, and secondly, they want their daughters to be less wronged by their mother-in-law.

Furthermore, Mrs. Wang cryptically said how wonderful Jia Zhu was many times in her letter.He even drew a big cake, saying that in the future when Baochai marries into Jia's family, she, who is an aunt and mother-in-law, will never interfere in the two of them.

Hearing what Xue Qian said, Xue Ning jumped up as if on fire. "What are you talking about, our Baochai will never enter Wujiamen. If you have such thoughts, give me a rest as soon as possible, or I will forgive you."

"Five families? Where did the five families come from?"

Xiao Ning gave him a sideways glance, "The first family," Xiao Ning pointed at the sky, and said, "The other four families are not Jia Wang Shizhen, these families, I definitely don't want to be in-laws with them." Pulling Xue Qian's sleeve, "You don't allow it either."

"Yes, I was just joking. The daughter of our Xue family will be desired by thousands of families and hoped by thousands of families in the future." Xue Qian has a gentle face, but his heart is no less angry than Xue Ning.He is not a fool, Xiao Ning is really angry, how could he not know.

At the beginning of the chapter, Mrs. Wang first writes to ask Xue Qiu and Jia Yingchun to make a marriage contract, and then she talks about Baochai.Doesn't this imply that Xue's family is no better than Jia's?

Xue Qian knew that all these were due to the fact that his Xue family was an imperial merchant, and he was determined to make Xue Qiu stand out.

After hesitating for a moment, he said to Xue Ning: "Ning'er, don't be angry. It's also my fault. If I'm very talented, I will definitely be able to pass the exam, and I won't..."

Xiao Ning comprehended his mouth unhappily, "What did you say, I don't love the person who dropped the book bag. If you are really like this, I don't care about you anymore."

Seeing that the situation in the room was quite loose, Xue Qian said: "Qiu'er is also seven years old now, and he has good talent and disposition. Although we invited someone to teach him, he is still not as good as the real Confucianism. A letter from my cousin Lin said He said that he had a place to be admitted to Qingshan College in his hand. His own brother was still young, and our brother Qiu was the right age, so he asked me if I wanted to give it a try. "

Xue Ning looked at Xue Qian in shock, "You are crazy, my brother is only a little older, and you just want to send him to Qingshan College. That college is famous for its strictness, don't you know?"

Qingshan Academy is located in the outskirts of Yangzhou Prefecture.All the people teaching in it are contemporary great Confucianists, so it is the best academy.The students who go out from Qingshan Academy are the worst candidates.Who in the world doesn't want to send their children there, but Qingshan College is not easy to get into.Doesn't matter if you have power or money?Those who don't get a place in the academy are not even qualified for the exam.

This quota is only one hundred each year, except for a few great Confucians in the academy who get one or two places, the rest are allocated to great Confucians and scholars from all over the world.If he hadn't been born in a scholarly family, and he had won the prize, Lin Ruhai would not have gotten it.Only his eldest son was about half a year old, so he asked Xue Qian if he wanted the quota.

Since Xue Qian got the letter, he thought about how to break it up with Xiao Ning.Mrs. Wang's letter came by coincidence today, how could he not take the opportunity to mention it.

"Of course I know. Don't worry, listen to me first. This Qingshan College is in Yangzhou, not far from us, and you can come back every six months when you leave school. Besides, cousin Lin is also in Yangzhou, Qiu'er It’s cheap to entrust him to take care of him there.”

Stretching out his hand, he returned Xue Ning's turned body, and continued, "Qiu'er will grow up sooner or later, and he is a man again, how can he stay at home all the time. Going to study this time will be very good for his future future, you can't delay him go."

"Why did I delay him. I'm also looking forward to Qiu'er's future, but how old is our brother? Xu is only seven years old, and Kuang only comes back once every six months. I can't bear it." Xue Ning couldn't help but her eyes turned red, The son has never left her side since he was born.How could she rest assured that she was going to such a far place suddenly.

Moreover, Qingshan College has very strict discipline, and people in the family are not allowed to visit on weekdays, let alone bring maids and servants.Xue Qiu grew up surrounded by maids and mothers-in-law, and being so young, how could he take care of himself.

Xiao Ning has thousands of reluctances in her heart, and she doesn't want to delay her child's future.After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Why don't you wait a little longer, how about going when brother is ten years old?"

Xue Qian shook his head and said: "What kind of place do you think Qingshan College is? Apply for the exam. Don't be in a hurry, maybe you won't be able to pass the exam."

Hearing this, Xue Ning glared at Xue Qian, "You can't make it through, brother Qiu is so smart, how can we make it difficult."

Xue Qian shook his head and smiled, saying that she was the one who didn't want my brother to go.At this moment, he just said something bad about Qiu'er, but he didn't want to.Speaking of which, he is willing to give up, but this time he has this opportunity, he will eventually give it a try.

"I think it's better to forget it. Our Brother Qiu is smart, and the teacher at home is also good. In the future, he will pass the examination for scholars, so there is no need to go to the Laomozi Academy." After thinking about it, Xue Ning was still reluctant to let Xue Qiu go to Yangzhou .

The two were discussing, but they didn't know that what they said was overheard by brother Qiu who came outside to play with his younger siblings.Lying there for a long time, hearing what Xue Ning said last, Xue Qiu rushed in with his mouth pursed.

"I'm going, besides, I will definitely pass the exam at Qingshan Academy."

It is not unreasonable for the ancients to say that men and women have different seats at the age of seven.At this time, the girl was sixteen and ji, and seventeen or eighteen became a mother.Men are similar, so they are all precocious.

Xue Qiu is also seven years old and is the eldest son of Xue, so he knows a lot about many things.Just now he listened to what Xue Ning and Xue Qian had said, and understood that if he could stand out and pass the Jinshi examination, their family would be able to change their families.In the future, the identity of the younger sister will be different, so she rushed in.

"Qiu'er?" Xue Ning and Xue Qian looked at each other and exclaimed in shock.

Xue Ning went over and led Xue Qiu to her side, and said, "Qiu'er, did you hear that?"

"Well," Xue Qiu nodded his head, looked at Xue Qian's silent face, and saw Xue Ning's reddish eyes, and said with a smile: "I have long thought about going out to study. I heard people say that in the academy, you can make friends with others." I have met a lot of friends. I have no one to accompany me to study at home, and no one to accompany me to play hard. Besides, I can learn a lot in the academy. Mom, can you let me go?" Shaking Xiaoxue Ning's hand, Xue Qian said coquettishly, which is rare.

Touching the head of this sensible son, Xue Ning pursed her lips, "When you go to the academy, you can only go home once every half a year. And go there, you are no longer the uncle of our Xue family. If you are thirsty, someone will pour you water , someone will bring you food when you are hungry."

"Mom, don't talk about it, my son has made up his mind. I definitely want to go to this Qingshan Academy, and I must also pass the exam." Looking at Xue Qiu's determined little appearance, Xue Ning couldn't say any more words of objection.Only tears were shed, rubbing his immature face.

Three days later, Xue Ning watched the emerald green carriage gradually disappear from her eyes with tears in her eyes.

"Ma'am, uncle is going to study. How many people want to enter this Qingshan Academy, but now uncle has this opportunity, you should be happy." Zhao mama supported Xue Ning and comforted her.

"I know, let's go back." Wiping away tears with a handkerchief, he said, "I went to the storeroom to pick out small ornaments with good meanings, and selected a few batches of satin left over from the tribute. Last time I said I left it for my sister." I took the warm jade dragon and phoenix pendant that my son used as a dowry, wrapped it up and sent it to Jia's mansion in the capital."

"Ma'am, is this?" Zhao Mama was startled, and with the return gift prepared earlier, this gift is even bigger.

Xue Ning smiled and said: "I'll write to Jia's family to say goodbye, courtesy is indispensable."
