There is a phoenix in the Red Chamber
Chapter 38
When Aunt Xue heard that Xue Biao had come, she seemed to have a backbone. Now that her son could not count on her, it would be fine if her nephew came, not to mention Xue Biao's parents were both dead.Furthermore, the Xue family's business must be managed by someone.If he can become an imperial merchant again in the future, there is hope that the Xue family will recover.
As for face and so on, Aunt Xue didn't care much about it, and Baochai, for the sake of her children, there was nothing she could not bear to give up as a mother.It's just that she can not have self-esteem and shame, but she is reluctant to let Xue Baochai do the same, so she can only force herself to go to Jia's mother.
Unexpectedly, Jiamu's place is very lively.Ever since Xue Pan's incident happened, Jia Zheng was implicated and was dismissed from his job at home. Mrs. Wang also suffered a lot, and no one in Jia's family wanted to joke.
The only three people who were not affected were Jia She, Jia Xi, Jia Zhuo, grandson and grandson.But that day when they were flying a kite in the garden, Mother Jia saw them. Mother Jia called Jia Amnesty and scolded him, saying that he was heartless and that he could still laugh at the situation at home.
Jia Amnesty was furious, what did Jia Zheng's dismissal have to do with him?Why can't he take his granddaughter and grandson to have fun!But out of filial piety, Jia Amnesty couldn't refute Jia Mu's words, so he simply took Jia Xi and Jia Zhuo to Jinling to relax.Feeling inconvenient on the way, another letter called Jia Lian.
When Jia's mother found out, she became angry again. Fortunately, she did not vent her anger on Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng.
"Although your master is absurd, you are not confused. After all, you are your grandson and granddaughter. Besides, Lian'er is gone too, so don't worry." Mother Jia comforted Wang Xifeng like this.
Wang Xifeng wished that Jia Xi and Jia Zhuo could go out and see the world more, so he was locked in the gate of this big house every day, ignorant of the sufferings of the people, like a fool. "I don't worry about what the old ancestor said. It's okay to leave. It's clean. It's like raising hundreds of ducks every day. It makes me have a headache."
Mother Jia laughed, and so did all the masters and servants in the room.
It so happened that Li Wan's aunt brought her two younger sisters, Mrs. Xing's younger brother's family, Xue Tiao and Xue Baoqin's family, and the three families came together.
Mother Jia looked at the people in the room, and she was in a good mood. When relatives came to visit, she must not be too cold, it would chill the hearts of relatives and hurt the dignity of the family.What's more, word came out in the palace that the emperor went to Fengzao Palace for dinner for two consecutive days.Thinking about it, the emperor's anger has dissipated.
In this way, you can rest assured.
When Aunt Xue came, Mother Jia and the others still smiled, the same as before, Aunt Xue felt a little relieved.
Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin came to visit their aunt.Aunt Xue looked at the talented Xue Biao, and thought of her unworthy son, she couldn't help shedding tears, "If your father and mother know about it, you can rest assured."
Xue Baochai snuggled up to Aunt Xue, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Don't cry, ma'am, where is eldest sister?"
"Your elder sister is not in good health, she is resting at home, see you later." Aunt Xue said.
"My nephew has also heard about the matter of the big brother. When the matter of Baoqin is over, my nephew will set off to take care of the big brother." Xue Biao said softly.
Aunt Xue looked relieved, "It's great that you have such a heart. It's just that you don't have to. Your elder brother should suffer a little bit, and he will have a better memory in the future. Besides, someone should take care of things outside. I'm worried about it." There are people helping, you are here, just right."
Xue Biao didn't expect Aunt Xue to say that. He proposed to take care of Xue Pan, not an excuse, but a real intention.After all, his parents died young, and he has no relatives or friends. No matter what Aunt Xue is, she is also a daughter of the Wang family, and Jia's relatives. Baoqin is in Beijing, so she can only entrust them to take care of her.
Who knew that his wife wanted him to take care of the Xue family's business.Xue Biao was very grateful in his heart, and Aunt Xue was the first in everything from now on.
"Yes, my nephew always listens to my wife."
Seeing this, Aunt Xue nodded in satisfaction.
But seeing the little girl lift the curtain, Xue Baochai swayed in. After meeting Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, she came to Aunt Xue, "Why did Mom come by herself and didn't call me? If Yinger didn't mention it, I would do not know yet."
Xue Baoqin stood up happily, and coquettishly tugged at Xue Baochai's sleeve, "Sister, you are here."
Over there, Wang Xifeng and Yingchun were talking to Xing Xiuyan.
Mother Jia looked at the people in the room, and she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. "Since I'm here, I'm going to another house. I just stay in the garden."
Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "That's great. The garden is big, but it's just a matter of adding more people. Which place do you like? I'll let someone clean it up."
Yingchun took Xing Xiuyan's hand and said, "Why bother, sister Xiuyan can live with me."
Over there, Baoqin naturally lived with Xue Baochai.
Li Wan's widowed aunt originally wanted to take her two daughters to live elsewhere, but Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang were willing to let them live in Daoxiang Village.
At this time, another good news came from the historians. Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding was reassigned as a high-level official from other provinces, and he will bring his family to take up the post soon.Mother Jia was the happiest. After thinking about it, she ordered Shi Xiangyun to be picked up and let her live in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
What surprised Wang Xifeng was that Mrs. Wang did not object.
Wang Xifeng subconsciously went to see Aunt Xue's mother and daughter's reaction. Although Aunt Xue was smiling, there was a trace of shock and resentment in her eyes. Only Xue Baochai seemed to know nothing, and her attitude was the same as before. Shi Xiangyun joked.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang sighed in her heart. Apart from other things, Bao girl is really dignified and stable, and she is a good wife candidate.It's a pity that he was dragged down after all.
Although Baoyu has such problems, in Mrs. Wang's heart, Baoyu is still worthy of being matched by the best woman in the world.Mother Jia originally preferred a girl from the Lin family, but Mrs. Wang refused no matter what.Later, the two settled on Xue Baochai, but Xue's family had another incident like this. It was because Mrs. Wang realized how ridiculous her previous plan was.Helpless, he had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and chose Shi Xiangyun.
Of course, Mrs. Wang has long regarded the Xue family as something in her pocket. It is impossible to be a regular wife, and it is not a grievance to be a second wife.
It's just that Mrs. Wang hasn't told Aunt Xue about this plan yet.Mother Jia didn't quite understand what Mrs. Wang was thinking, but she didn't bother to care about it, anyway, it was a matter between their sisters.Maybe Aunt Xue would agree!
How could Aunt Xue agree!
When Aunt Xue heard Mrs. Wang's words, she almost flew into a rage.At the beginning, they agreed to hire Baochai to Baoyu as the main wife. That's why they lived in Jia's house for these years, and lent so much money to Mrs. Wang back and forth. did not write.
Now, cross the river and tear down the bridge!
Mrs. Wang was still talking, but Aunt Xue could no longer listen.Anyway, she was still a little sensible, knowing that she couldn't tear herself apart with Mrs. Wang, so she left without saying anything.
After returning, Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin were on the kang, one was a female celebrity, the other was watching, and Xue Biao was doing calculations outside.
Seeing Aunt Xue came back, her face flushed, Xue Biao was startled, "What's wrong with Ma'am? Pour some tea!"
Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin hurriedly put down their things when they heard the movement, and came out. Seeing Aunt Xue's state, they were anxious, "Mom, what's the matter?"
Aunt Xue sat down, drank a few sips of tea, finally recovered, and took Xue Baochai's hand, "Son!" Before she could say a word, tears rolled down her face.
"Mom, what's the matter, tell me slowly." Xue Baochai had already prepared in her heart, the situation at home was already like this, and her aunt's usual behavior...
Aunt Xue endured and endured, but she couldn't hold back, "Your aunt said she would let you be Baoyu's second wife!"
Even though Xue Baochai had been prepared for a long time, when she heard this, she still swayed and sat down slowly while leaning on the corner of the table.Finally, he said slowly, "It's just human nature."
Xue Baoqin looked at Xue Baochai worriedly, but on this occasion, she couldn't say anything.
Xue Biao was very indignant, Aunt Xue treated him no differently from Xue Pan, and she did not stop talking to him about the big and small things in the family.Therefore, Xue Biao also knows the cause and effect very clearly.
"Too much deceit! I'm going to find their master to argue!"
"Xue scorpion is back!" Xue Baochai called him quickly.
"Big sister!" Xue Biao turned around helplessly and looked at Xue Baochai.
"Sit down. You are usually said to be steady, why are you so irritable now?" Xue Baochai stood up slowly and poured a cup of tea for Xue Biao.
Xue Biao sat down angrily and drank the tea.
"How can life be better now?" Aunt Xue cried.
"We have to swallow this dumb loss, and save it for the next day! However, Jia's house is too much to live in. Ma'am, let's move out." Xue Biao said after calming down.
"Move out?" Aunt Xue looked at Xue Biao.
"Yes, move out! Our Xue family can't compare to Rongguo Mansion, but the eldest sister is also the son of the eldest son. After Ziwei gave up her family, let the eldest sister be the second wife of Baoyu, and he is also worthy!" Xue Biao was excited again.
Aunt Xue hesitated.
But Xue Baochai said: "Brother Tiao is right. The matter has come to an end. We stay in Jia's house, but we are just asking ourselves to humiliate ourselves. Mom, let's move out!" As the second wife, is Jia Baoyu worthy?If you really can't be the wife, there are many people who can choose.What did he, Jia Baoyu, do?
Aunt Xue looked at Xue Baochai, then at Xue Biao, "Okay! Let's move out!"
Xue Biao's work efficiency is still very high, but within half a month, he found a place to live.
Aunt Xue brought it up with Mother Jia, saying they wanted to move out.
Mother Jia pretended to leave a few words, but Aunt Xue insisted on moving, so it was not easy for Mother Jia to stay.
Wang Xifeng followed up and asked a few words, but if there is anything I need help with.
Aunt Xue held Wang Xifeng's hand, "I know you are busy, so I won't bother you, and Xue Biao is also capable, much better than Pan'er. If I need it in the future, I will definitely come to you."
After finishing speaking, he left without even saying a word to Mrs. Wang.
In half a day, all the boxes, cages and luggage of the Xue family had been moved.
Mrs. Wang came out of the Buddhist hall to worship the Buddha, only to know that Aunt Xue had moved away without a word, and she didn't say a word to her. If she didn't know, she thought her relatives were in trouble, and she couldn't tolerate anyone!
The more Mrs. Wang thought about it, the more angry she became. She called Wang Xifeng and said that she would go to Xue's house to ask Aunt Xue face to face.
She was persuaded by Wang Xifeng's rhetoric.
As for face and so on, Aunt Xue didn't care much about it, and Baochai, for the sake of her children, there was nothing she could not bear to give up as a mother.It's just that she can not have self-esteem and shame, but she is reluctant to let Xue Baochai do the same, so she can only force herself to go to Jia's mother.
