Red Mansions I am Aunt Xue

Taking the envelope in doubt, Xiao Xiao was stunned for a while before slowly taking out the letter paper and opening it.He stared wide-eyed and asked incredulously,

"IOU,"

Xue Qian put the lid on the tea bowl slowly, put it on the small table in a leisurely manner, and said, "That's right, I also said that I don't need to issue an IOU. Only my brother-in-law refused, saying that it was such a large sum of money that I wrote it down." good."

"What I want to ask is not this, what I want to ask is why does the elder brother ask our family to borrow money?" As soon as he finished asking, Xiao Xiaoning slapped his forehead, "Look at my brain, elder brother is planning to pay back the money owed to the household department The money?" Xue Ning remembered that the Wang family also took over, and the money was spent like running water.Needless to say, the silver was owed from then on.

Not wanting Xue Qian to shake his head, "It's just a change of hands. The money was borrowed from my brother-in-law, and then my brother-in-law took a share to do business with me."

This made Xue Ning confused after hearing Yufa, and looked at Xue Qian like a fool, "What's the difference between this and giving away money for free? How can you do this? Come on, don't be fooled, tell me quickly." What's the matter with me."

"Ning'er is really smart." Xue Qian smiled and praised Xiao Ning, but he rolled his eyes in return. He was not angry, and just accepted the compliment, and said with a smile: "You think the Wang family owes the Ministry of Household money? This is full of money." Which of the honorable families in the capital does not owe the household department. The most important thing is that the one whom the old man loves the most owes the most. Isn’t it a disaster to pay back the money now?”

After Xue Qian said this, Xiao Xiao also understood.They wanted to wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne before repaying the money, because they said: "Since this is the case, why not lend it to big brother when it is time to repay it. What are you doing now?"

Xue Qian bent his index finger and clasped the little table, narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm also on a thief ship." Seeing the doubt in Xiao Xiao's eyes, Xue Qian took her hand and said, "You can wait for these things to happen later." You will know."

Although Xiao Xiao was dissatisfied with his concealment, she also knew that he had said everything he could tell her.It should be known that in this era, Xue Qian can tell her this is good enough.

Perhaps it was because of this incident that Xiao Xiao's relationship with her sister-in-law became more frequent.Because Wang Shishi didn't like her, she seldom went to Wang's house.Therefore, the elder sister-in-law often took Wang Ren to Xue's house to have tea and chat.

This day, when the wind was clear and the clouds were clear, Mrs. Wang and Li brought Wang Ren to Xue's house.I don't know if it's because of the children's comparison, or because of the company, Wang Ren is also serious about studying with his brothers at Xue's house.Not to mention completing homework on time at home these days, I have been praised by my husband several times.But if Wang Lishi is happy, Yue Jia likes to come to Xue's house.

"Greetings to my aunt."

Xiao Ning pulled Wang Ren over and said with a smile: "You don't need to be polite when you see my aunt. Your cousins ​​are behind, so go and play with them." This child is fat and white, just like Xue Pan Tiger head tiger brain, very gratifying.Besides, he is still a child at this time, not as he was later in the original book, Xue Ning naturally wanted Xue Qiu to help teach him.

"Yes." He replied happily, and Wang Ren happily followed the servants to the backyard.

Wang Lishi shook her head and smiled, and when Wang Ren disappeared, she said, "Second sister, do you know? Yuan girl is going to enter the palace tomorrow?"

"I know, Jia's mansion is about to beat gongs and drums to tell the whole world, how could I not know." After a silence, he couldn't help sighing: "It is said that she is a female historian, but she is not the master of the palace after all. Yuan girl will go in, there may be someone Bitter taste."

"That's not true. But I heard yesterday that girl Yuan already has a place to go." Wang Lishi approached Xue Ning and said in a low voice.

"Oh, where?"

"It is said that it will be assigned to the queen's side as a female officer."

"Queen? Why did the Jia family get involved with the queen again?" Xu said that the husbands of the two had mutual interests, so their words were much bolder.

"Who knows! It's just that the current queen doesn't have a prince, maybe it's Mrs. Jia who came to the palace to ask someone to let Yuan girl stay with the queen for a while, so she can raise her status." I don't believe anyone, let alone Xue Ning.

Xiao Ning picked up the tea bowl, gently lifted the lid of the tea bowl and slid the tea leaves floating on it, took a sip, and said with a smile: "I'm a fool, so I don't know what the Jia family thinks. Anyway, no matter what they think, we will Irrelevant. Sister-in-law, do you think so?" To mention identity?Just a joke, the Jia family and the Zhen family have such a good personal relationship, how could they be sent to the unfamiliar empress instead of Zhen Guifei?It must be that several people in the palace have gone through the tricks, and it will be like this.

"That's right, what does it have to do with us!" Wang Li wisely stopped talking about this topic.Then turn to: "Brother Qiu will end up in Chunwei next year, what do you think about my sister?"

Xue Ning certainly understood the meaning of Wang Li's question.It's just that Qiu'er will be fifteen years old next year, if she doesn't get engaged, I'm afraid the sage will mess up the mandarin ducks by then.

Yin said: "I didn't think about it, but my master stopped him. He said that Qiu'er's marriage has been arranged, but he didn't tell me who. I'm just worried about this!"

"My sister doesn't need to worry. Since my brother-in-law said so, he has his own reasons." Wang Lishi rolled his eyes and smiled comfortingly.

Xue Ningen let out a sigh and stopped talking about this matter.For some reason, Xue Qian is more busy these days.And many things are said half and half left.At first she thought that he was trying to trick him again as before, but after a few times, she realized that this time he really didn't say anything.Even Qiu'er participated in it to some extent, but only kept it from her.Although she was annoyed, she was not really angry.Just because she knew that the two men, one big and one young, would not harm her and this family.

Fearing that the two of them would be awkward sitting, Xiao Ning smiled and said, "Sister-in-law hasn't seen what Brother Ren is doing behind the scene, has she? Why don't we go quietly and have a look?"

This made Wang Li's eyes light up, and he immediately nodded in agreement.

"The Master said: Filial piety is the foundation of benevolence! Do you know what it means?" Xue Ning and the others were standing by the window, and they saw Xue Pan with his little hands behind his back, shaking his head and asking.

These were just the simplest sentences in the Analects of Confucius. Wang Ren used to be playful, but now he is easy to learn, and his progress is no more than a thousand-character essay.He shook his head honestly, that naive look made Xue Ning really want to pinch his chubby face.

"Stupid, didn't you hear that there is a word for benevolence in it, which is the same as your name?" Seeing Wang Ren nodding honestly, Xue Pan said again: "This sentence tells you to be filial to your parents and obedient to your elder brother, which is the root of your name. In the future, you must obey your elder brother, you know?"

Wang Ren opened his eyes wide, with the original look, nodded his head twice, and said: "My brother will be filial to his parents and obedient to his elder brother in the future." Xue Pan on the side nodded with a teachable look.

"Oh! Brother, what are you doing and hit me again." Xue Qiu gracefully retracted the book that Xue Pan had knocked on, and gave him a wink that you knew, and then lowered his head and continued to read.Wang Ren didn't even look at Xue Pan, who was holding his head. Instead, he stared at Xue Qiu with sparkling eyes, with dazzling admiration in his eyes.

This scene made Xue Ning and Wang Lishi standing outside laugh endlessly.

When the two of them backed away, Wang Lishi glanced at another part of the study, and lowered his eyes to cover up the doubts in his eyes.He smiled and said: "Brother Ren is much more obedient with my sister, and I must thank Qiu'er and Pan'er."

"What's the matter, the elder brother should teach the younger brother." The two laughed again.

After lunch, Wang Li took the reluctant Wang Ren away.

On the carriage, Wang Lishi patted Wang Ren's head affectionately, and asked, "Brother Ren likes my aunt's house, and do you still have brothers and sisters from my aunt's house?" Wang Ren raised his head and nodded vigorously, Wang Lishi smiled again, Asked in a low voice: "By the way, when you study with your brother on weekdays, sister Bao is also there?"

"Yes! In addition to Sister Bao, there is also Brother Lin. Sister Bao will also cook a lot of delicious food for us to eat."

"Really?" As if thinking of something, Wang Lishi stopped asking Wang Ren.She only sighed secretly in her heart, it's a pity, she originally wanted to marry Bao girl in, but she didn't want to be a step late.

The day was going on as usual, this day Xiao Ning and the others had just fallen asleep when there was a noise outside.

Xue Qian got up and put on his robe, and said: "Don't get up, I'll go and have a look first."

Not long after, Xue Qian hurried in and said: "Put on your clothes quickly, you wait in the room with the child, don't come out." After saying that, he hurriedly changed into his normal clothes and went out.

Xiao Ning didn't know that something serious was going to happen at this time, so she hurriedly got up and put on her clothes, and as soon as she left the back room, she saw that several children had already been tidied up, standing there waiting for her.

"Where's your big brother?"

"We've never met big brother, we just heard someone sent by my father tell me to come here." Baochai replied a little uneasy.

Xue Ning was so anxious that she couldn't leave the three children behind, so she had to stay in the house according to Xue Qian's words.Not long after, Bai Shu came in wearing a black dress.

Before Xue Ning could ask, Bai Shu said: "I've seen my wife, the second master, Mr. Lin, and Miss. The master asked me to take you to another place." As he spoke, he led Xue Ning into the small room. The study is close to the bookshelves.

I saw him picking up a book and pressing lightly on a place on the shelf. With a clicking sound, the bookshelf slowly sank into the wall.Xiao Ning and the others saw a black hole on the ground where the bookshelves were originally placed.Before he could make a sound of surprise, Bai Shu picked up the oil lamp and walked towards the black hole, stepping back carefully.

"Second Master, I'll carry you down first."

After hesitating for a moment, I saw three children who dared not make a sound.Gritting her teeth, Xue Ning let them go ahead, and said to Bai Shu, "Go down first, let Pan'er climb down by herself, and watch from below." This is a wooden ladder, about ten steps.It was easy to go down, and there was a stone room inside.

Bai Zhu lit the candles in the room, and saw that there were plenty of beds, quilts, dry food and water.Seeing this, Xue Ning understood even more that something big happened outside today.

Suppressing the anxiety in my heart, I smiled and coaxed a few children to sleep.She couldn't care less about getting up to go out, but Bai Shu, who was guarding the exit, hurriedly grabbed her.Said softly: "Madam, you can't go out."

"I have to go out today, this is an order." Seeing that Bai Shu wanted to stop him, Xiao Xue Ning shouted softly.

Pressing down Bai Zhu's hand lying in front of her eyes, Xiao Ning moved the ladder by herself, and when she climbed up to the top softly, she turned her head and said softly: "Look at the children carefully, I will come whenever I go." After finishing speaking, there was no turning back Press down on the slightly protruding stone on the side.

Cautiously left the house, there was no sign of chaos outside.He went to Xue Qian's study with ease, and saw that it was brightly lit.After knocking on the door a few times, a calm voice came from inside, "Who is it?"

Without responding to Alum, Xiao Xiao directly pushed the door and went in.

Regardless of the changing expressions of Xue Qian and Xue Qiu's father and son, Xue Ning walked into the two of them with a sullen face, and said coldly: "Don't you want to explain?"
