New Dream of Red Mansions

Xue Pan was released, but his condition was not very good.How can there be a good life in the prison, although both the Jia family and the Wang family have taken care of him, he is only a little better than the prisoners inside, but that is because the yamen guards treat him better, such as giving him more food when he is given food. Something like that, or when assigning a cell to him, one person is smaller, and the cell is relatively better.

But in prison, such care can easily arouse the rebellious psychology of prisoners.Generally speaking, prisoners in prisons are more important than cell bosses, because they have many ways to punish a person.

Xue Pan himself has a domineering temper, so it's no wonder that he can eat well in prison.So even though he only stayed in prison for three days, when he came out he was neither human nor ghost.

When Aunt Xue saw Xue Pan become like this, she almost cried to death. She hurriedly ordered someone to prepare hot water and rice, and then asked someone to invite a doctor.

Baochai's eyes were also red and swollen from crying.

That night, Xue Pan had a fever. Aunt Xue looked at her son, who was flushed with fever, and said harshly, "Who caused this incident? Pan'er followed the rules in the capital and never went out to cause trouble. It’s thousands of miles away, how could they know these things?”

Baochai was thoughtful.

"Could it be the Feng family?" Aunt Xue was a little puzzled, "Xiang Ling went and never came back, and said that the abducted people would be sent back. Could it be the Feng family who went to sue?"

Aunt Xue guessed right, but Baochai always thinks a lot, so it is inevitable that she has thought a little more at this time. She has learned more about Aunt Xue, and now she shakes her head and says: "It is definitely not hers, if she complains , the yamen servant should come to tell my brother to go to court to distinguish." Baochai thought that Jia Yucun had been imprisoned in advance, and his heart moved, "Mom, could it be that Jia Yucun committed a crime and was caught, so that he confessed to my brother?"

Jia Yucun tried Xue Pan's case back then, and now he is still in prison.

Aunt Xue's face turned ugly, "It must be him, but Xiangling is also hateful, if it wasn't for her, why would all these things happen."

Baochai stopped talking for a moment.

The matter started because of the Feng family. Both Wang Ziteng and Jia Zheng had inquired about it, but they also knew that the Feng family was helpless, and they didn't know that it was Jia Yucun who made a move, so they went to Jia Yucun, but they met Shen Congyun, who is so injustice.

Wang Ziteng doesn't resent the Feng family, but blames Jia Yucun for being too unscrupulous. He left a lot of troubles when he did this thing back then. Speaking before the saint, I'm afraid this matter really can't be good.

However, Jia Zheng was extremely disappointed. Jia Yucun found out many things afterwards. He didn't expect Jia Yucun to do so many outrageous things, but he felt a little guilty. It was Wang and Sister Feng who entrusted him with the introduction, so Jia Zheng has been running for Jia Yucun all the time.

Hearing the news, Xiyan thought to herself: If you knew that a few years later, he would stab you in the back and provide a lot of evidence for the Jia family's ransacking, I don't know how you would feel.

Thinking of this, Xiyan's heart moved again. Now that Jia Yucun is in prison, will the fate of Rongguo Mansion change?

It's just that I don't know if he will be released. In the original book, Jia Yucun has been on the rise.

Naturally, Jia Yucun would not be released, and Shen Congyun almost vented all his anger on him.

Originally, it was about to eradicate a great disaster for the capital, but Wang Ziteng said a few words in the early court, and then met with the Supreme Emperor, and mentioned the old officials from the past. The emperor had only been on the throne for a year.That's why Xue Pan was able to escape with such a ridiculous reason.

The Xue family is an old minister, but none of the ancestors in Jiayu Village is an old minister.Shen Congyun directly took him to the knife, and the emperor didn't like him, which caused him to suffer in front of the emperor for no reason, so he didn't see Shen Congyun trying to treat him.

Jia Yucun's problem was serious, but the Supreme Emperor was still there, and the emperor would not cut off his head, so he was sentenced to exile directly. Such a punishment might be more painful for Jia Yucun.

When Xue Pan woke up, the first thing he wanted to ask was: "Where is Xiangling?"

Aunt Xue didn't dare to tell him, she only said that Xiangling was locked up and let him recover.After all kinds of persuasion, Xue Pan settled down with peace of mind.

Xiyan and Daiyu couldn't come in to see him, so they just talked to Baochai outside.

Tanchun took Baochai's hand and said, "When Cousin Xue is well, you also come into the garden. We are talking about starting a poetry society."

Baochai forced a smile and said, "It's a good idea, but who came up with it?"

"Naturally it's the third sister," Xichun rushed to say, "The third sister is the most creative. I said it's good to start a poetry club, but I don't have much to do."

Several people diverted the topic away, and Baochai was relieved to see that they did not follow up to ask about her brother, and gradually relaxed her expression, and started talking and laughing with everyone.

Back in the house, Daiyu sighed: "Sure enough, women in the world are pitiful. We usually talk about how dignified and generous she is, but there is such a brother in the family." She was angry again: "Sister Xiangling is too, just How about staying for a few more days? Let us practice it for her, and leave without saying a word."

Xiyan persuaded: "There are many troubles in the capital, it's better to leave as soon as possible. Didn't she also say that she will write to us? Just wait, maybe we will meet again in the future."

Having said that, both of them knew that the chances of meeting in the future would be slim, and this world was not like the previous life. If they wanted to meet, as long as they had money, they could get there by taking a few hours' flight.

After Xue Pan's incident, Jia's mother and Jia Zheng didn't want to see the Xue family and Mrs. Wang even more, and there was also a gap between Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue.

Although the case was judged by Jia Yucun, it was Jia Yucun entrusted by Mrs. Wang back then. How could the judgment not be good, and Xue Pan had to be sentenced to death.Aunt Xue was suspicious of Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang also blamed the Xue family. Originally, the old lady and the master did not agree to the marriage of the two families. After such a quarrel, they had more reasons.

Xue Pan didn't know that Xiangling was gone until after he got well, and it stopped after a while, but he firmly remembered it in his heart, and planned to find Xiangling to humiliate him if he had the opportunity in the future.

Because although this incident was not known to everyone, everyone in the circle knew that he had a good relationship with him, and everyone often made fun of him with words. Xue Pan got impatient, so he planned to go out to sell goods with an old shopkeeper at home.

Aunt Xue thought it would be good for her son to go out and hide, but Baochai hoped that her brother would gain some insight after going out to practice.

Since the third day of August is Jia Mu's birthday, Aunt Xue intended to keep him until then, but Xue Pan was impatient and asked someone to set a date early, and set off on the same day.After sending Xue Pan away, Aunt Xue said to Baochai: "Now you can also see that although our family is rich, we have to rely on your uncle and aunt whenever we encounter any problems. It can be seen that it is better to have money." Right. After today, you should go to live in the garden, get along well with your sisters, and don't quarrel."

Baochai nodded, and her determination to marry Baoyu became more firm in her heart.

Tanchun came to discuss with Xiyan Daiyu, "Although Sister Bao has only been away for a few days, we still have a banquet for her to avoid bad luck. Besides, last time I said that I would open a poetry club, because of cousin Xue It just so happened that the second elder brother brought in two pots of white crabapple, why don't we use this to start a society?"

After hearing this, Daiyu went to Qiushuangzhai with Tanchun. Li Wan and others had been waiting here, and when they saw them coming, they smiled and said, "It's considered coming, otherwise our group of people will be dead. "

"Since we want to start a poetry club, we can no longer be called sisters, sisters, uncles, sisters-in-law, we must have an alias." Daiyu thought for a while, and smiled: "I took one for sister Yan, and it is called 'Chaoyang Lord'. '."

Tan Chun smiled and said, "The courtyard where sister Yan used to live was called Chaoyang Courtyard, which is most appropriate."

Everyone gave each of them nicknames, but after all they lacked funds, Li Wan took everyone to find Sister Feng and pestered her to spend a certain amount of money every month to set up a poetry club for them, but Baochai came back tomorrow, so it was even more necessary Be grand.

Seeing that Li Wan was silent, Daiyu laughed and said, "The banquet will be held at Qiushuangzhai when Sister Bao comes back tomorrow. In addition to the money given by Sister Feng, it is enough for each of us to serve one dish. Everyone will give their own food." Write it down, and my third sister and I will arrange it again, so that the cost is not big, and everyone can enjoy themselves."

Yingchun and the others all nodded in agreement.

Except for Daiyu Xiyan, who has a small kitchen, everyone else asks for a dish from the big kitchen, and they just need to send a few dollars, which is not a big expense.

Daiyu discussed with Tanchun, but after a while the matter was arranged properly, and when Xiyan rushed over after correcting Brother You and Brother Lan's homework, everyone had already dispersed.

After hearing the arrangement of the two, Xiyan couldn't help sighing, after all, they came from a big family, and thought of everything, even she and Li Wan may not be able to do better, but the methods are still a little immature.

On the second day, Baochai was dragged to Qiushuangzhai. Baoyu had already told the teacher at home that she would not go to school today.When Baochai saw Baoyu, he was inevitably disappointed.In the past, Baoyu went to school every day. Although she didn't say anything, she was very satisfied in her heart, but she didn't expect that now he was absent from school again.

Thinking of these things attracting her, Baochai disapproved and said: "Our daughter's family should have done more needlework and weaving, but now we learn from those literati and refined scholars to open a poetry club, but if it spreads, people will laugh at it." Big teeth."

Li Wan explained: "It's just a joke of the girls in the boudoir. Who would rush to say it? Even if we say it, we are not afraid. It is just a thing anyway, and Miss Bao takes it too seriously."

Tanchun smiled and said, "That's right. We only care about our poems and care about them. Brother Bao is here too. Today we are here for Sister Bao, and for our poetry club. Sister Bao, yesterday The sister-in-law married you an nickname, called 'Heng Wu Jun'. In the future, we will use the nickname when we get along."

In the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion, Mrs. Su was also talking about Jia Mu's birthday with Xia Yuntian, "Our family has never had any friendship with theirs, but I was afraid that there would be some misunderstanding if we came here, but I have never seen those two children. "Speaking of this, Su complained again: "As far as relatives are concerned, I can also be considered their aunt, but you said that you are afraid that the people of the Wang family will think too much and won't let me see her."

Xia Yuntian laughed and said: "That's just an expedient measure. If mother wants to see their siblings now, she can just send someone to post a message to Jia's house."

At that time, he stopped her, but it was because her major event was still undecided, and the new emperor had just ascended the throne, and her sister was about to be crowned queen. Various forces were intertwined, and the most important thing was to be cautious. Now that she has basically stabilized, even if the mother wants to see Wang Xiyan and sister, With the relationship between the mothers of both parties, they would not think too much about it.

Moreover, Xia Yuntian lowered his eyes, now that the imperial concubine in the palace area is making a lot of trouble, mother's actions can still confuse the audition, at least it will only benefit and not harm to my sister and their Pingyang Houfu.

After the matter was decided, the Su family decided to wait for Jia Mu's birthday to go to Jia's mansion, and take the opportunity to meet Wang Xiyan and her brother.

She had heard some news from Housekeeper Xia a long time ago. Her son knew that the third child had been very determined since he was a child. If he didn't want to, it would be difficult for anyone to pressure him into marriage, so it's better to find someone he likes. live with him.

This kid has a stubborn temper, I'm afraid most people can't bear it.

It's just that this time Mother Jia didn't have a full birthday, so she didn't plan to celebrate it too grandly. She just invited a few good friends and sang two heavenly meetings at home and it was over.

Coincidentally, this year Jia Zheng ordered Xuezheng again, and chose to wake up on August [-]th. Many people took advantage of this season to see him off. Mrs. Wang was too busy for a while, so she asked Sister Feng to support her.

On Jiamu's birthday, Xiangyun followed her aunt to congratulate her, so she found a gap to find Xiyan, Daiyu and the others, and complained, "So many things happened in just two or three months, and sister Xiangling is gone. , and didn’t notify me, and I couldn’t see her, I heard that you have started a poetry club again, and you don’t call me, just play alone.”

When Baochai heard this, she laughed and said, "As soon as I came here, I thought about it like a cannonball, as if we would like to be one of us? Xiangling left, and we didn't even see each other for the last time, let alone you? When I started the poetry club, I thought about it. I'm here for you, but it's not right for you to come home every three or two months, so I don't mention it."

When Xiangyun rolled his eyes, he became happy, "My uncle is going to be released, and my aunt and the others will follow after a while. Why don't you tell the old lady that I'll be with you?"

Baochai pulled her away and said, "It's not appropriate for you to go and tell the story. It's better to ask Baoyu to tell it. You just go home and wait for the news."

As soon as Xiangyun heard the truth, he pestered Baochai to let her go with her, and rested in Hengwuyuan at night, this is a later story.

Now the front is shouting, "Mrs. Qu is here in person, and the front is asking the second wife to pick it up."

Baochai was surprised when she heard this, "I don't know which family in this district is, why did you call the name and ask my aunt to pick me up?"

Daiyu, Tanchun and others all shook their heads, only Xiangyun asked, "Could it be that District family?"

Everyone looked at Xiangyun, and Xiangyun smiled and said, "Sisters, why have you forgotten that there is still a noble concubine in the palace now, so this must be the family from which the concubine was born."

Tanchun was a little puzzled, "I haven't heard of any relationship between our family and theirs?"

Xiang Yun said quickly: "I heard that the imperial concubine of the district is eighteen years old, beautiful and generous, the most favored in the palace, and her status is only below the empress."

Daiyu gave Xiangyun a tug, only then did Xiangyun realize that he had overstepped the bounds, and quickly shut up.

Baochai was thoughtful.

Xiyan couldn't help but think too much, I heard that this district noble concubine was made a concubine as soon as she entered the palace, and she was made a noble concubine after she became pregnant, and gave birth to the sixth prince a few months ago.The sixth prince is the first child born after the emperor ascended the throne, so he is very favored by the emperor. I heard that even the prince is going to retreat now.

The battle between the concubine and the concubine has always been a royal war of attrition. Now that the war between the concubine and the concubine has not subsided, it should not rise again, right?

One must know that the sixth prince is only a few months old, and still a baby.

Unbeknownst to Xiyan, someone planned to plan ahead.

Concubine District has always been supported by Concubine Jia in the palace. Last time she directly crossed out Xue Baochai's name, and there was some estrangement between Concubine Jia and Concubine Jia, so this time she asked her mother to show her favor.

Concubine Jia is getting old, whether she can have children is still a matter of debate, but in terms of love, the emperor treats her mediocrely, Concubine Ou hopes that she can stand by her side.

In terms of power, both the Ou family and the Xia family have military power, and the Xia family only has one more title than the Ou family. In terms of character and appearance, Concubine Ou feels that she is no worse than the queen, let alone the queen is over 30 years old, and she Only eighteen or nineteen years old, he has more advantages than the queen.

No matter whether it is Concubine Ou or the Ou family, they are unwilling to wait for the sixth prince to grow up.

Earlier, Mother Jia was also a little surprised by Mrs. Ou's arrival, but she was a smart person, and she didn't show it on the surface. On the one hand, she asked Mrs. Wang to go out to meet her, and on the other hand, she asked someone to open another table and arrange the tables and chairs.

Mrs. Qu is in her forties, but she is well maintained. She looks only in her thirties. When Mrs. Wang saw her, she thought of her daughter in the palace, and her face froze slightly.

Yuan Chun used to be a female official in the palace. Although she didn't have to do rough work, she didn't have to do nothing like being a girl outside. After all, she was serving others.

So Yuan Chun looks a few years younger, but not too young. He looks only four or five years younger than Mrs. Ou. What if he stands with Ou Guifei, the daughter of the Ou family?

The thought just flashed by, Mrs. Wang hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mrs. Qu is here, but we are too far away to welcome her. Please come inside."

Mrs. Ou smiled and nodded kindly, "I came here uninvited, I'm sorry."

The two of them were about to turn around and go back when the concierge announced loudly: "The old lady of Pingyang Hou's Mansion is visiting—"

Mrs. Wang paused, doubts flashed across the pressure, could it be that there is some news from the palace?Why did everyone come here?

What Mrs. Ou thought was, did the Xia family also want to win over the Jia family?

Later, Jia's mother was also wondering about this, and took advantage of the scene of changing clothes in the back to find Jia Zheng and Jia Lian, and said: "Go and inquire about the news, but what happened in the palace, why are everyone running here?"

No wonder Mother Jia thought too much, whether it was the Ou family or the Xia family, the three families had almost no connection at ordinary times. The two families still had friendship when they were older, but these years have long since faded away, and they usually give away at most, as long as they are interested.

But now people from both families have come in person.

Jia Mu said: "When I turn around, I will arrange the two ladies by my side."

Jia Zheng knew that Mother Jia wanted to test it out herself, and said gratefully, "Thank you mother for taking care of it."

Jia's mother waved her hand and said, "You are my son, so why don't I miss you?"
