Red Mansions I am Aunt Xue

At noon, a carriage with emerald curtains and cyan colors slowly arrived at the Lin Mansion in Yangzhou.The Lin family has servants waiting outside.Seeing the carriage, he immediately turned around and entered the door.

Not long after, I saw Lin Ruhai wearing a dark blue brocade gown with a plain face, walking out of the main entrance with a happy smile and going forward.He made a bow and said with a smile: "Cousin can be counted, have you worked hard all the way?"

Xue Qian hugged Xue Qiu and got out of the car, straightened his clothes, nodded and smiled and said: "I should have arrived yesterday. I don't want the weather to be unkind, and it will start to rain. I'm afraid that it will rain heavily halfway, so I won't rest Come in a day."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, the academy will have to wait for the exam to start on the [-]th day. There are still a few days before the [-]th day, so let my nephew rest for a few days before going to the exam." Lin Ruhai smiled heartily, then moved his eyes to look up and down Xue Qiu , because he asked: "Is this the eldest nephew brother Qiu?"

"That's right, it's my brother's useless dog." Xue Qian smiled and patted Xue Qiu's head lightly.

Hearing that the two elders had finished the reunion, Xue Qiu had just moved half a step forward when he mentioned himself.The servant at the side had already placed a cushion with winks, Xue Qiu knelt down on the cushion respectfully, and said, "My nephew has seen uncle, uncle is well."

"Alright," said Lin Ruhai, who had only a sickly eldest son under his knees, and now he saw this clever little nephew who was sculpted and well-proportioned, and smiled happily.

"Master, Madam has already set the meal in the main hall, so when will my cousin and master come in?" Lin Ruhai slapped his forehead when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Look at me, I am so happy to see my cousin that I forgot. Brother is standing outside this door. Come on, please come in." Lin Ruhai greeted him, Xue Qian followed him from the main entrance with a smile.

In the main hall, Jia Min had already prepared meals, and he retreated to the side hall.Lin Ruhai led Xue Qian into the door, and said, "Cousin, please take a seat."

"Then I'll do as I please." After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Speaking of which, we two brothers haven't met each other since three years ago, so let's have a good drink today." Lin Ruhai raised his glass and said cheerfully.

During the meal, a servant came to the side hall and asked in a low voice: "Ma'am, the master asked if you have prepared the rooms for Mr. Biao and Mr. Biao?"

Jia Min smiled when she heard the words, and said: "You go back to the master, I have already prepared it." Jia Min, who has been married and has a child, and has been a housekeeper for many years, is no longer the proud woman she was before.Since Xue Qian is an imperial businessman, he will not entertain him badly.

After drinking and eating, Lin Ruhai returned to the house drunkenly, he hadn't been this happy for a long time.Seeing him like this, Jia Min said gently, "Brother Xue is here, I should be happy, but the master shouldn't drink like this?" After Lin Ruhai washed up and lay down with the maids, Jia Min sat on the edge of the bed to rest.

"Madam..." Jia Min's nanny came in anxiously, saw Lin Ruhai lying on the bed, and silently waved to Jia Min.

After opening the curtain and going out of the back room, Jia Min asked coldly, "What's wrong? What's wrong with Xiyuan?"

"I'm afraid it's true this time. It's said that the amniotic fluid has broken, and I'm going to give birth today!" The nanny looked at Jia Min anxiously, "I'm here tonight, if something happens... How can this be good?"

Jia Min glared at the nanny, walked back and forth a few steps, scanned the back room separated by the curtain, and whispered in her ear: "Women give birth to a child by stepping into the gate of hell with one foot. Ruyun's fetus is so big. I'm afraid I can't make it through." Hearing this, the nanny closed her head knowingly, and rushed out again.

After about a cup of tea, Jia Min hurried into the back room and called out to Lin Ruhai, "Master, master..."

Holding up his painful head, Lin Ruhai frowned and asked, "Why are you so panicked?"

"Sister Ruyun from Xiyuan has a seizure."

Lin Ruhai was rubbing her head, when she heard the words, she suddenly stopped, raised her head and asked in surprise, "What did you say? Ruyun is going to give birth? How come today?"

"I came to tell you that I was here after hearing the report. I haven't come to ask in detail yet, so I don't know. Let's go over now and ask in detail." Jia Min waited on Lin Ruhai to get dressed, and replied anxiously .

When Xue Qian was drunk, his servants helped him to rest in Jia Min's prepared room. It was not until midnight that there was a noise outside that Xue Qian was awakened.Rubbing his head, he stood up and called softly, "What's going on outside?"

Bai Guo, who was on guard at night, rubbed his eyes and hurriedly replied, "I'm also confused, why don't I go and find out?"

Xue Qian waved his hand, "Go and take a look at it from a distance, and if it's not a big deal, come back quickly. We're visiting at someone else's house, so don't cause trouble."

After drinking tea, my head is already quite clear.Xue Qian put on his clothes again and went to Xue Qiu's room, only to see his black eyes rolling. "Why aren't you sleeping?"

"It's the first time I slept in someone else's house, and I couldn't sleep. Father, what's wrong outside?"

"You little child asked these people what to do, just sleep with you." Xue Qian went over to cover the quilt, pulled back the moon-white cotton gauze curtain, and said softly.

Not long after, Bai Guo hurried in and whispered a few words in Xue Qian's ear, seeing Xue Qian's complexion gradually became solemn, and said in a low voice: "You mean Cousin Lin's difficult delivery has been questioned by Mrs. Protect the big and protect the young?" Seeing Bai Guo nod his head, Xue Qian's expression turned ugly.He had just entered the Lin Mansion, and this happened, how could he not be annoyed.

In the twilight of the morning, Ruyun, who struggled all night, finally gave birth to a son.Before Lin Ruhai could be happy in the future, Po Wen fell to her knees and said that the mother had suffered a haemorrhage and died.

Lin Ruhai saw Jia Min gently hugging his brother, pondered for a moment, and said, "Take Mrs. Zhou as my aunt, and bury her generously. I also sent 500 taels of silver to Aunt Zhou and my wife." Looking closer to my brother, He nodded and said: "He is a strong one. This child just lost his aunt, and you are the aunt, so you work hard to raise it with your eldest brother?"

"What did the master say, I am the mother of this child." Jia Min tried her best to hide the joy in her eyes, lowered her head and gently teased with her index finger.It's useless to change your mind so much, isn't it just to adopt this child.

"Master, Master Biao sent someone to see you, saying that he has something to discuss." Lin Ruhai immediately regained consciousness after hearing the words, nodded at Jia Min, and left the Xiyuan.

"Hearing that my cousin got another brother this morning, I'm so happy and congratulated." Xue Qian congratulated with a smile.

"It's true that I got a brother, but this child's life is unlucky, and he lost his mother when he was born." Lin Ruhai shook his head and sighed, as if it wasn't his little wife who died.

"What? This little brother and sister?"

"It's just a girl, how can my cousin call her a younger brother and sister." Lin Ruhai thought of the brother she just got, and said instead: "It's a great achievement for her to give birth to the Lin family's blood. Burying her generously, and rewarding her family generously, can be regarded as worthy of her."

Xue Qian nodded when he heard the words, he was just asking.Now that Lin Ruhai said so, he didn't say any more.The two turned to think about other things.At noon, Lin Ruhai entertained Xue Qian with wine as usual, as if there had never been an aunt Ruyun in this mansion.

In Jia's Mansion in the capital, Mrs. Wang held the letter from Yang Chuan and said with a sneer, "I said earlier, our aunt? She is not a worry-free master."

At the same time, Xiao Ning's return gift to the capital is coming soon.

Caiyun smiled and opened the curtain to come in, saying: "Ma'am, there is a reply from Jinling, and this time my aunt has sent many gifts."

"Really? Bring them in quickly." A row of little maids from behind came in with gift boxes in their hands. Mrs. Wang took the small brocade box in front, opened it, and saw that it was a jade pendant carved from Nuanyu, which was very rare for a while. , happily said to Zhou Rui's family: "Look at this gift, I'm afraid it will be done."

He hurriedly opened the letter, but his expression became more and more serious the more he read it.

"Madam, aunt is not willing?" Zhou Rui's family asked softly, and then said: "If you don't want to, then forget it. What is our brother's status? He was born in the Duke's mansion, and he can study like this. When he grows up You can pass the exam. If your concubine is not your own sister, and the sister and son you gave birth to are twins, then how can you be born in a merchant country and be worthy of our brother?"

Mrs. Wang put the letter on the table fiercely, "If so, I wouldn't be so angry. Hmph! Her heart is higher than you think. She doesn't look down on my Pearl, but on our Yuanchun. Yes. It is said that a high family will marry a daughter, and a low family will marry a daughter-in-law, and she doesn't look at her family's family status or ours." Mrs. Wang was really angry this time.

She originally thought that twins of dragon and phoenix are rare in the world, so she must be a lucky one.Furthermore, the gold and silver in Xue's family are like iron, and the dowry will never be less in the future, so I wrote to promise marriage.I don't think her second sister is uninterested, and my daughter doesn't want to marry, but wants to marry her Yuan Chun.

Yuan Chun is a serious princess, and she was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year.Yuan Chun, who is only suitable for noble people, is also what Xue Qiu, who was born in an imperial merchant, can only imagine.Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and finished thinking. When she saw the rare and priceless jade ornaments on the table, she said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and wrap these things up, so I can send them back to my concubine tomorrow."

In Xue's mansion in Jinling, Xue Ning anxiously waited for Xue Qian to take a shower and change his clothes.Hastily went forward, said: "Where is Brother Qiu? Why didn't you come back with you?"

"Qiu'er has been admitted to the Qingshan College." Wiping his head with a cotton cloth, he said comfortingly, "You don't know? Although Qiu'er is young, we have been admitted to the No.3 college. The top one or two The one who is more than five years older than Qiu'er."

"Really?" The son is smart and has good grades, which mother is not happy.Xue Ning was no exception, only her son hadn't returned, so Xue Ning was also worried, "Since I passed the exam, why didn't Qiu'er come back?"

"You asked this question. Since you passed the exam, you will stay there to study." Xue Qian chuckled lightly, and said, "Don't worry, Cousin Lin has dragged some acquaintances from the academy to take care of us." Brother, you'll be fine."

Xue Ning's eyes were red, and said: "He is only so old, so he has to go to study abroad alone, how can I not worry."

"Okay, let's not talk about this. I heard from my servant that you wrote to Jia's family to say goodbye? What's the matter?" Xue Qian knew that Xue Ning would never match Baochai with Jia Zhu. , just to propose marriage, won't you really take that Jia Yingchun?

Glancing at Xue Qian, Xue Ning raised the corner of her mouth and said triumphantly: "Could it be that she is only allowed to mention it, and I am not allowed to say it? I wrote to say that I want Yuan Chun to be our daughter-in-law. Guess what my sister will do? Hehe..."

Xue Qian was taken aback when he heard the words, then shook his head and smiled, "You!"
