Red Mansions I am Aunt Xue

The sun at noon in July is very venomous, not for livelihood, few people will come out at this time.However, Xue's house in Jinling opened the side door, and many maids and women stood guard in front of the door and looked around.

Not too much noise, a carriage slowly approached and stopped at the gate of Xue's residence.Xue Qiu, who was wearing a royal blue silk hang straight gown and a thin pale gold belt around his waist, got out of the carriage.

Qingbai hurriedly opened the umbrella, stepped forward and said: "Master, the sun outside is very poisonous, let's go in the house quickly? I think the master and wife must be waiting impatiently."

Xue Qiu smiled and strode into the door.This time he went to Yangzhou and never came back. He also missed his parents, his naughty younger brother and his well-behaved younger sister very much.

"My son, it can be considered that he is back." Xue Ning rushed forward to meet Xue Qiu, and pulled him up before Xue Qiu knelt down.Looking up and down carefully, nodding with tears in his eyes, he said: "I grew taller, but also lost weight."

"Cough..." Xue Qian clenched his fist behind his lips and coughed.

Xiao Ning glanced back at him, turned to Xue Qiu and said with a smile: "It's so hot today, after driving for so long, are you exhausted? Mom has prepared hot water and clothes, you go wash up first." Go change your clothes."

"Ahem..." Xue Qian coughed again.

Xiao Ning snorted softly, ignored him, and only pulled Xue Qiu into the door, "Go quickly. I also prepared your favorite dishes, and I also made sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and wishful cakes myself. Just eat more."

Xue Qiu glanced quickly at Xue Qian's slightly sunken face, and then saw his mother's smiling face. He didn't know that his father had offended his mother, so he said with a smile: "Then son will go to wash up first."

Xue Ning nodded hurriedly, "Go, go." As soon as the words fell, Xue Qiu bowed to the two and went to his yard.It made Xue Qian's complexion even more ugly.

At this time, Xue Pan, who was waiting anxiously in the back room, ran out, looked around, and shouted, "Mom, where is brother? Why haven't you come back yet?"

"Your brother is back, he came after he changed his clothes. Go in quickly, so as not to get sunburned." He took Xue Pan by the hand, and walked slowly into the door with a smile on his face.

Xue Pan walked ahead with Xiao Ning, turned his head and secretly glanced at Xue Qian.Seeing him staring at him, he quickly turned around and stuck out his tongue mischievously.

Xue Ning saw it and smiled, and poked Xue Pan's little nose.There are not many descriptions of Xue Pan in the original work.The few things he did, none of them were good, but it can be seen that he is a reckless and straightforward person.This one she gave birth to?He is also impatient and mischievous.Boys of this age are not skinny.

In her view, children are all dependent on how adults raise them.And the words that the son is poor and the daughter is rich, she thinks it is right.Therefore, she buys whatever Baochai likes.And Xue Pan?Xiao Xiao would think about it.Some were given, and some were not given no matter how much he cried.After a long time, Xue Pan also understood that he could get what he wanted without crying.

Xue Pan was a little fatter than his brother when he was a child, and he looked like a tiger.Seeing Xiaoxue pointing his nose at this moment, raising his head and grinning, with those round eyes, he was very cute, so happy that Xiaoxue bent down and kissed his tender face.For a moment, the older one's complexion turned darker, and the younger one's face turned red.

Just straightened up, I saw that the black hair was only fixed by a red gold beaded flower hairpin, leaving two locks of hair combed into two small braids hanging behind the head, wearing a small golden lock on the neck, and wearing a light pink shirt on the upper body The lower body is tied with a water-white gauze skirt, and the small but very quiet Baochai stands at the door.Seeing the scene just now, he was covering his mouth with a small handkerchief and snickering.

Xiao Ning stepped forward and took Baochai, and asked softly: "But I'm hungry, big brother will be able to eat when he comes over in a while."

"I'm not very hungry, it's just that it's very hot." Baochai shook her head, and the two braids on the back followed her a few times.Xiao Xiaoning looked around, happily led a pair of children inside and sat down.

Xue Qian walked in slowly, served tea and squinted at Xiao Xiaoning.Seeing Xue Pan and Baochai looking over, they hurriedly coughed again, and bowed their heads seriously to drink tea.

Xiao Xiao didn't care about him, who told him to always bully her.Just put his arms around his son and daughter talking and laughing, not long after, Xue Qiu who had washed and changed into normal clothes came in the door.Walking up to the two of them, he knelt down and said, "Son, pay respects to father and mother."

Only then Xue Qian nodded and said: "Get up, your younger brothers and sisters are also hungry, let's eat first."

When Xue Qiu heard the words, he got up and said yes, and when he turned around, he saw Xue Pan making faces at him.Taking advantage of Xue Qian's inattention, he blinked his left eye at Xue Pan, making Xue Pan and Baochai happy.Xue Ning looked at this with a smile, but Xue Qian raised the corners of his mouth as if he didn't see it.

For a meal, Xue Ning didn't eat much, and only served Xue Qiu with food.His bowls were almost piled up into a hill, but Xue Qian stopped him because he couldn't see it, which made Xue Qiu heave a sigh of relief.After finally eating, Xue Qian said: "Follow me to the study"

"It's very good that you can be a scholar at such a young age." After saying this, Xue Qian captured Xue Qiu's expression without any trace.

"My son doesn't dare to take the master's praise. This is only the hospital examination, and there will be rural and general examinations in the future." Xue Qiu, who had already been enlightened by Lin Ruhai's words, would not be proud now.

Xue Qian nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "I'm relieved if you can think like this. Remember, it doesn't matter if you are an official or a businessman. Go the long way."

Xue Qiu nodded respectfully, took out a letter from his bosom, and said: "This is the letter that Uncle Lin dragged his son to bring to you, saying that it will be handed over to you privately."

Xue Qian took the letter, waved his hand and said: "You go to find your mother. You haven't come back for so long, she misses you very much on weekdays."

Xue Qiu leaned back and Xue Qian opened the envelope.After reading it carefully, he frowned.The index finger tapped on the table, it seems that it will be a bad time in the future.

"Mother," Xue Qiu entered Xue Ning's room, got up and sat beside Xue Ning after seeing the ceremony.He hugged Xue Pan and sat on his body, and said with a smile: "Fatty, but fat again, it really deserves this nickname."

Hearing this, Xue Pan struggled to get off the ground, and shouted: "I'm not called Pangpang, mom, you bully me when you see my brother coming back." He turned his head and looked at Xue Ning with the black eyes of a teary-eyed doll.

Only Xue Ning smiled but didn't say a word, but Baochai on the side put her head closer and pretended to be serious and said: "It's really fat. Look at that little belly, just like the little pig doll my mother made." , Everyone in the room laughed out loud.

Xue Pan pursed his mouth, his eyes rolled around.Without crying, she grabbed Xiao Xiao's hand and climbed up, asking, "Mom, I want that little piggy doll."

"You are a boy, what do you want?" Xue Qiu grabbed Xue Pan back, slapped his butt, and said, "Sit down. If you move around again, I will throw you outside to bask in the sun."

Xue Pan immediately sat obediently and didn't dare to move any more. His brother could really do what he said.Moreover, his father and mother did not help him, but instead said that his brother was right.Thinking of this, Xue Pan shrugged and pulled his head, thinking that he was the most pitiful person in the world.

At night, Xue Qian lay on the bed with his arms around Xiao Ning, and said, "Did the letter from Beijing say anything these days?"

Xiao Ning moved her position to make herself lie down more comfortably, and then said: "I'm a woman in the inner room, and the people who correspond with me are all women from the backyard. They just talk about women. What else can I say? It's my old man Grandmother, I'm too old now, and my sister-in-law wrote to say that the old man fell asleep before she could speak a few words. I'm not in the capital, so I can't even serve her old man. "Xue Ning's eyes were red.

"The old lady is ninety-three out of ten, and she will be less energetic. I heard from my uncle that the old lady will be fine now." Xue Qian comforted Xiao Ning's hand tightly.

Xiao Ning nodded slightly, and after a while, Fang said again: "There is another one, it is the Jia family. A few days ago, my elder sister gave birth to another son. The strange thing is that when this brother was born, there was something in his mouth. It contained a piece of jade, and there were words on the front and back of it, which read "Don't lose, never forget, immortal life and prosperity". But the people in Jia's mansion were so happy that the old lady named the child Baoyu immediately. Then Afraid that the child would be overwhelmed, he asked someone to write a name and distribute it to people in Beijing. What do you think the Jia family thinks? Are you not afraid of taboos from above?"

Xue Qian was taken aback, then smiled and said: "You said that Duke Rong died in vain, he finally saved the saint and died so early. The saint remembers his contribution to saving him, and now there is no real power in Jia's mansion , What are the taboos above." The husband and wife have been together for more than ten years, they can say anything, and there is no need to avoid it.

Xue Ning took Xue Qian's hand, and said: "I don't think so. It is true that Rong Guogong saved the saint, and the saint also remembers his contribution to saving him. How old is the saint? Wait for the new emperor Enthroned... um..."

Before he finished speaking, Xue Qian covered Xiao Xiao's mouth, and said in a low voice, "I'm so courageous, I dare to spit out anything."

Pulling Xue Qian's hand, he took a deep breath, rolled his eyes, and then replied: "Isn't this talking to you in private. I'm not stupid, so maybe I can talk to outsiders."

Pulling up the blanket, Xue Qian approached and asked: "Then who do you think is most likely to take that position?" He was disturbed by Lin Ruhai's letter today, which made him very uneasy.Now that I mentioned it, I asked her.His wife, from her usual housekeeper, can tell that she is a clear-eyed person.Maybe she, a bystander, can see more than him.

She knew that Baoyu was born.Will the next seizure of the throne be far behind?Many people in later generations claimed that the Red Chamber was actually written about the Qing Dynasty, and in Xiao Ning's view, the same is true.

Yin said: "How can I, a woman, know about those things. You might as well think about it, when you are in your twilight years, and there are several sons with extraordinary abilities by your side, staring at the property in your hand, what will you do?" ?”

"The old age? Extraordinary ability? Eyeing like a tiger?" After murmuring back and forth, Xue Qian suddenly got up, and while dressing, said: "Go to sleep first, I still have some things to deal with."
