Red Mansions I am Aunt Xue
Chapter 44
The next day, Mrs. Wang arrived at Xue's residence as scheduled.Xiao Xiao led her to the kang with a smile, and asked someone to pour tea, and then sat on the other side and waved her to leave.
"I shouldn't have disturbed my sister at this moment, but my sister really misses my sister. I just posted the post, and my sister shouldn't blame my sister." Mrs. Wang put down the tea bowl, wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, laughed.
"What did my sister say, since my sister is here to find my sister, she must have something important to do, right?" Xue Ning was exhausted these days, and now she just wanted to close the door and take a good rest for a few days.If it weren't for Mrs. Wang, she really didn't want to receive people, but she also didn't want to talk nonsense with her.
Mrs. Wang is a person who can't get up early without profit, so there must be something wrong with saying this at this moment.And since the last marriage contract failed, Xiao Xiao could feel her change.Presumably, Mrs. Wang felt that she had harmed her interests, which is why she did so.
Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Xiaoxue Ning to be so straightforward.Then he smiled again and said, "My sister still speaks so briskly. Since that's the case, my sister just said it straight. Does my sister know the second girl of the second brother's family?"
Xue Ning raised her eyebrows, "You mean Brother Feng? What's wrong?"
"Yes, it's Brother Feng. What do you think of Brother Feng?" Mrs. Wang asked with a smile as she picked up her tea again.
"Brother Feng? During these days in the Wang family, I have met a few times. She is a nice girl." It is indeed not bad, if she is not so high-minded and competitive.
"Hey! I think so too. Needless to say, Brother Feng's appearance, the young housekeeper just behaves well when socializing. Especially that small mouth, that's called Tian'er." Mrs. Wang said They clapped their hands, and there was a lot of joy in their words.
When Xiao Xiao wiped her mouth with a nappa, she covered her eyes and was vigilant.Sure enough, as she thought, Mrs. Wang's visit today is definitely not as simple as talking to her and chatting.
Mrs. Wang saw that Xue Ning just smiled and said with a smile: "My sister doesn't know something. The second sister-in-law asked me to talk about marriage earlier. It is said that Brother Feng's age is the most suitable for Qiu'er of my sister's family, no If you get closer, you will get closer. Besides, she will be at ease when she marries into your family."
"Sister!" Xue Ning let out a low voice, lowered her face, and said, "Is this what my sister is talking about when she comes here today? Sister, don't forget that we are still observing filial piety at this moment."
"Sister, don't be upset. I know this. I just came to let you know first. It's not that I want you to talk about marriage right now. It won't be too late when you are filial. The second sister-in-law also wants you to agree I don’t know my sister, but our old lady has chosen Brother Feng as Brother Lian’s daughter-in-law.”
"Brother Feng is indeed a good person. It's just that my master told me about Qiu'er's marriage a long time ago that I'm not allowed to make any more suggestions. By the way, isn't Brother Zhu from my sister's family one year older than Qiu'er? There is no engagement at all. It’s not good to marry Brother Feng.” After finishing speaking, Xue Ning’s eyes lit up and said: “By the way, after marrying Qiu’er, I have to go to Jinling. After marrying Brother Zhu, I am indeed in the capital. That is to say, I entered the door of my aunt. You don't have to worry about being bullied, and you are next to your mother's family, this marriage is really good."
Mrs. Wang twitched her mouth, and said with a kind face: "So that my sister will know that our brother Zhu has been raised by the old lady since he was a child. Hey! There is no room for me to talk about his marriage." Shaking her head, A look of helplessness.Then she smiled and said: "Sister is different, your parents-in-law have passed away, tell your brother-in-law, he will definitely agree. Could it be that he can still look down on our Wang family?"
Xiao Ning smiled again, this time even her eyes narrowed, "Qiu'er is the eldest son of the Xue family, so I really can't make the decision. But Pan'er is about the same age as Brother Feng, so it's not bad. Sister help Then ask the second sister-in-law, can it be done?"
Mrs. Wang frowned, her younger sister was really reckless.Who would let the eldest daughter-in-law of the Duke's mansion marry the second son of an imperial merchant?Pursing her lips, Mrs. Wang said in a deep voice, "Your sister is unwilling to marry the Wang family?"
Xiao Ning also stopped laughing, and said with a low face: "Sister, don't forget how long it has been since the old lady left. You know how much I respect and love the old lady, but you chose such a day to talk about these things. You today If you really want to gossip with me, my sister will be happy to welcome you. If you have nothing else to do, please go back." Xue Ning served tea directly, and the meaning was self-evident.
Mrs. Wang's chest heaved with anger at Xiao Xuening's blunt words.After a while, I stood up, "I came here out of kindness, but I got my sister's words. Brother Feng is such a good girl, you must not regret it in the future." After saying that, she got up and left angrily. .
Xue Ning got up and followed, and said: "I didn't say that, Pan'er and Feng Ge'er are about the same age. My sister didn't seem to listen to this sentence, isn't Feng Ge'er also the second daughter."
Mrs. Wang looked back at Xue Ning, "Brother Feng is the second daughter, but she is not the same as the second son of the Xue family." Xu Shi was so angry that Mrs. Wang blurted out what was in her heart.
Xue Ning's eyes turned red in an instant, "It's not different! The Wang family is a family of officials, and your husband's family is also a family of princes. You are all upper-class families. Since you look down on us, why bother to pretend to be with us, and you don't have to be relatives in the future. Hmph..." With a wave of his hand, he turned and walked directly into the door.
Mrs. Wang pointed at Xiao Ning with her fingers shaking for a while, but she left without saying anything.
Xue Qian entered the door and sat aside, glanced at the cold tea on the small table, and said, "What's wrong?"
"What else is there, the old lady has only been away for a long time. We are still in the filial piety period, and we all want to pull coal. Put the idea on our Qiu'er, and I still don't like my Pan'er. Hey, which one of you can I see?"
Xue Qian raised his index finger and tapped the little table lightly, saying, "Which girl is the aunt going to tell Brother Qiu this time? I'm going to make you angry."
"You've seen it before, it's Brother Feng from my second brother's family." Xue Ning said with scorn in her eyes.
Brother Feng?Xue Qian then thought of that clever and sweet-talking little girl. "Why, you don't like it. It is said that this girl is your niece, and she looks pretty good. Why are you so angry?"
"I don't want Baochai to marry into these families, and I don't want my son to marry girls from these families, neither will the Wang family." Then he sighed, "It's not because of her, I'm just angry with her self-righteous face. Our elder brother, without her, can't marry a wife. Bah, I want to see what Jia Zhu and Jia Baoyu can marry?" Xue Ning wanted to say the word goods, but felt that it was not good and held back went back.
"Come on, have a sip of tea and let your breath flow. Look at you, I think it's not good to be an aunt or wife." Xue Qian, who knew Xue Ning's temper well, shook his head and smiled jokingly.
"Naturally, I don't want the people in Rongguo Mansion to get too close. Taking advantage of today, I will speak more seriously."
When Xue Qiu wins the examination next year, he will come to Beijing.Therefore, Xue Qian planned not to return to Jinling, but to stay for a while longer.Since she has been in Beijing for a long time, Xiao Xiao needs to make preparations early.
"Oh! Why do you want to distance yourself from Jia's family?" Xue Qian narrowed his eyes, unexpectedly agreeing with him.
"Don't you think this Jia's house is too chaotic? Which family has the eldest son who lives in the side room and the second son who lives in the main house? And which family's servants who are close to others dare to chew the master's tongue in private. Even a servant People who can’t control them, can they still be good?”
Xue Qian nodded, he knew all of this.It's just that he doesn't want to have a close relationship with the Jia family, but it's not because of these things.It's that the Jia family got involved in the matter of seizing the heirloom, and he didn't want to be assigned to someone's faction without knowing it.
But Ning'er can see this, so he doesn't have any contact with Jia's family, he is already very happy.As the mistress of the Xue family, one should look down on the big with the small.If Xue Ning knew what Xue Qian was thinking, she would definitely feel guilty.If she didn't know the original work, she wouldn't be so determined.
Mrs. Wang returned to Jia's mansion angrily, and made Jia Zhu return home after school.Seeing his son, his angry face softened again.He smiled and said, "Pearl is hungry? Come and eat some snacks to fill your belly."
Jia Zhu lifted up the hem of her clothes, knelt down on one knee to greet Mrs. Wang, then got up and sat on the right side of Mrs. Wang, and said, "I had some snacks at the teacher's house, but I'm not hungry. Ma'am, the teacher said that I can end next year." Try it." Jia Zhu said excitedly.
Years ago, it was heard that his aunt's cousin was going to die, so he thought about asking for a piece.Only the teacher stopped him, saying that he would be more sophisticated in his writing.Later, it was reported that his cousin had won the top scholar, but he was full of dissatisfaction.He didn't tell anyone about these things, he just compared them secretly in his heart.Waiting for the scholar, he must take the provincial examination with cousin Xue.
Mrs. Wang's eyes flashed with joy, and she said: "Really? That's good. Your master is also true, but he insisted that you listen to the teacher. If not, our brother Zhu would have become the first scholar, and we will get someone else." Mrs. Wang felt that her eldest son was the number one talented scholar, and felt dissatisfied that Xue Qiu won the first place first, so she kept silent.
Jia Zhu smiled shyly: "How can my wife say it so well? The teacher said that the essay I wrote is just a test. The master also said that my essay is not good enough, so I need to contact you more."
Mrs. Wang took the tea from the servant girls and handed it to Jia Zhu, waved them down, and said with a smile, "You don't want to listen to your master. You don't know, he was smiling while holding your article."
When Jia Zhu heard the words, his eyes flashed, and he said, "My son has to work harder, and I dare not lose the face of the master and wife." The implication is self-evident.
Xiao Ning didn't know about Mrs. Wang's mother and child, so she just spent more than a month leisurely.Except for Xue Ning, who is a granddaughter who has to keep the filial piety for the full nine months, Xue Qian and the others are all out of filial piety.
On this day, Xiao Xue Ning was preparing to pack her things and send them to Xue Qiu.Not wanting a servant to rush in, he panted and said, "Ma'am, the uncle has come to Beijing. He said he has arrived at the pier, and there are too many things, so he sent someone to ask his wife to prepare a carriage to pick them up." Angry, he said again: "The visitor also said that his wife had invited the doctor to the mansion to wait."
"What? Uncle came to Beijing?" Xue Ning got up in shock when she heard the words, and dropped the list, "Master also asked someone to invite a doctor? Is it because Uncle is sick?"
The servant shook his head and said: "I don't know, why don't you wait for the servant to ask?"
Xiao Ning waved her hand, opened the curtain anxiously and went out, and said to Zi'er: "Tell your family to quickly prepare a carriage and go to the pier to pick up the uncle." Then she said to Cai Ju: "Hurry up and find the doctor and come back." Said Well, he waited anxiously in the house.
"I shouldn't have disturbed my sister at this moment, but my sister really misses my sister. I just posted the post, and my sister shouldn't blame my sister." Mrs. Wang put down the tea bowl, wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, laughed.
