The Rebirth of the Red Chamber Xue Pan married Lin Daiyu

Chapter 21 Worshiping Guan Gong and Xianglian

When Xue Pan returned home, Liu Xianglian was still waiting for him.

Xue Pan hadn't learned those twists and turns, so he said directly: "Brother Liu, you and I hit it off right away, and I want to become brothers with different surnames with you, what do you think?"

Xue Pan didn't mention it when Jia Lian and Baoyu were there, because he was afraid that Baoyu would like to be lively, so he insisted on sworn worship with Liu Xianglian.

If so, does he worship or not?

He and Baoyu are cousins, and they are close enough that the blood relationship cannot be severed, so he recognizes it.However, I really don't want to add another layer of relationship.

Xue Pan and Liu Xianglian got into trouble like that in his last life, but he could still become brothers in the end, and I believe it will work in this life too.

Liu Xianglian is usually generous and generous, and loves to make friends. During these two times of getting along, Xue Pan was more pleasing to the eye, and she directly agreed, "Okay!"

The two reported their birthdays, Liu Xianglian was two years older than Xue Pan, and was the elder brother, while Xue Pan was the younger brother.

Liu Xianglian thought this was the end of the marriage, but Xue Pan ordered Xu Qian to go shopping, and then asked someone to watch the date, and asked him to stay for a few more days.

Liu Xianglian was about the same size as Xue Pan, and Xue Pan gave him some sets of clothes that he hadn't worn yet. "You can live here with peace of mind. I have asked the sewing room to cut clothes for you. If you need anything, you can find Zhaocai. I will let Zhaocai do what you want."

Fu'er, Shou'er, Zhaocai, and Jinbao are the four servants around Xue Pan, and they are all fifteen or sixteen years old now.In the past, when Xue Pan went out, he shouted and hugged, followed by these young servants.Now Xue Pan doesn't talk about ostentation anymore, and usually only has one person around him, and it's fine if someone uses him.Fu'er was sent to Suzhou by him, and Shou'er is now in use by himself, so he gave Zhaocai to Liu Xianglian.

Liu Xianglian seldom goes home on weekdays, and there is an old servant at home. Although he is a son of a family, his parents died when he was young, and he grew up in the market.He often lives without a fixed place, wherever he wanders, that is his home.Now that Xue Pan asked him to stay, the kindness was unfathomable, so Liu Xianglian stayed at Xue's house.

Xu Qian went to find someone to calculate the date, and five days later would be a good day, suitable for marriage, banquet, and worship.

On the appointed day, Shou'er reminded Liu Xianglian early in the morning that after Liu Xianglian's morning exercise and bath, she changed into the new clothes that Shou'er specially brought over.Xue Pan also bathed and changed clothes, called Liu Xianglian, and the two went to the main hall of Xue's house together.

Liu Xianglian was quite surprised when she saw the things prepared in the main hall. He thought that the two casually called each other brother and brother that day, which was already regarded as sworn brotherhood.I didn't expect Xue Pan's mention of sworn vows to be so formal.

Sandalwood is burning in the main hall, the fragrance is faint, heavy and solemn.In the middle of the main hall is an incense table with a portrait of Guan Gong hanging on it. On the incense table are three animals, a pig's head, a sheep's head, and a bull's head, an incense burner, a handful of incense, a jar of wine, a sea bowl and a dagger in front of it.There are two futons in front of the incense table.

On the side of the lobby, two people stood watching the ceremony.One was an elderly woman, and the other was a girl about ten years old. Liu Xianglian guessed their identities, went up and saluted them, and the girl returned him a blessing gift.

Xu Qian lit the incense and handed Xue Pan and Liu Xianglian three sticks each.Liu Xianglian was old, Xue Pan asked Liu Xianglian to offer incense first, and then he put the incense into the incense burner, and then they knelt together in front of the statue of Guan Gong.

Liu Xianglian is still a little confused until now.

Xue Pan proposed to be sworn brothers, but he agreed without thinking too much.

Liu Xianglian has a lot of friends, and many people call her brother and brother. You call me brother, and I call you brother. In Liu Xianglian's eyes, this is already sworn brotherhood.

Now he and Xue Pan are sworn brothers in front of Guan Gong, and Xue Pan's family members are watching the ceremony, which shows that not only Xue Pan, but the entire Xue family wants to recognize him as a relative.

Kneeling in front of the statue of Guan Gong, he listened to Xue Pan saying word by word: "Guan Gong is superior, I, Xue Pan, and Liu Xianglian, married Jinlan today, and we will share weal and woe in the future, and share weal and woe! This life does not seek the same year and the same month." Born on the same day, but please die on the same day and month in the same year! Enjoy sacrifice!" (Note 1)

Xue Pan said a word, he followed a sentence, and as the oath was spoken sentence by sentence, this feeling gradually increased in his heart.

After reading the oath, Xue Pan stood up, poured the wine into the bowl, picked up the dagger, and stabbed his finger, the blood flowed from the finger and dripped into the wine.Xue Pan handed the dagger to Liu Xianglian.

Liu Xianglian took the dagger and took a serious look at Xue Pan. The dagger pierced down. After drinking the blood wine, she and Xue Pan were blood brothers. He suddenly smiled.

Liu Xianglian cut a knife on her finger, let the blood spill into the wine bowl, picked it up and took a sip, shouted: "Good wine!" Then handed the wine bowl to Xue Pan.

Xue Pan also took a sip and sprinkled the rest of the wine on the front of the incense table.

Xue Pan knelt directly on the futon and called out to Liu Xianglian, "Brother!"

Liu Xianglian was about to burst into tears, but tried her best to hold back.Starting today, he has a family, and he, Liu Xianglian, is finally no longer alone.

Liu Xianglian responded loudly, "Hey!" and helped Xue Pan up.

Xue Pan introduced the person next to him to Liu Xianglian: "This is my mother!"

Liu Xianglian knelt on the ground and called out, "Mother!"

Mrs. Xue hurriedly agreed, and then helped Liu Xianglian up from the ground, "Xianglian, I often hear Pan'er mentioning you. Now that you are my son, I have nothing else. This is for you." Mrs. Xue came from behind Chunlan took a small box in her hand and handed it to Liu Xianglian.

Liu Xianglian picked it up and put it in her arms: "Thank you, mother!"

Xue Pan introduced Baochai: "This is my younger sister, whose baby name is Baochai."

Liu Xianglian bowed her hands to Baochai, and called out: "Sister." After calling, he was a little embarrassed, now he lived and boarded at Xue's house, and now he recognized a beautiful sister, but he didn't prepare a gift.

Baochai greeted Liu Xianglian with a blessing, and said sweetly: "Brother!" He took a big box from Ying'er and handed it to Liu Xianglian: "I don't know what my brother likes, this set of four treasures of the study , to my brother."

Liu Xianglian accepted it in embarrassment. Although she was a little embarrassed, she still said bluntly: "My brother has prepared a gift for you, and I will definitely make it up for you in the future!"

"Brother can make it up anytime." Baochai pursed her lips and smiled.

"I also have a righteous sister, the same age as Baochai, surnamed Zhen, who is not in the capital now, but in Jinling, when did I meet and introduce you to each other," Xue Pan said.

"Today we have an extra family member. This is a great event. I prepared a banquet and let the servants of Xue's family recognize the master. Xianglian, this way." Xue Pan said, pulling Liu Xianglian out.

Xue Pan prepared a table of food in the flower hall, and the four of them sat down to eat. Xue Pan asked Xu Qian to call his servants over. When they were all together, Xue Pan led Liu Xianglian to stand in front of the flower hall, and introduced: "This is my sworn brother. His surname is Liu and his name is Xianglian. He will be the master of our Xue family from now on. When you see him, you should call him Lord Liu as if you were seeing me."

The Xue family had not been in the capital for a long time, and there were not many servants, only twenty or so. Everyone knelt down together and shouted in unison: "Greetings, Lord Liu!"

Liu Xianglian seldom made people kneel like this, so she said quickly, "Get up."

Xue Pan waited for them all to stand up, and then said: "I have a new brother today, and I am very happy. Everyone in the Xue family will give me an extra month's money."

When the servants below heard this, they were happy, and looked at Liu Xianglian with sincerity.

Liu Xianglian used to live in the wing room of Xue Pan's courtyard. For these few people, Xue Pan had asked someone to clean up a new courtyard next to his own courtyard, and took Liu Xianglian to see it.

"How about it? If there is something you are not satisfied with, you tell me, and I will ask someone to change it." Xue Pan asked.

Looking at the new yard, Liu Xianglian finally shed the tears she had endured for a while. He finally has a home and a family.

Seeing Liu Xianglian crying, Xue Pan was startled: "Brother, what's wrong, but what did I do wrong?"

"No, I'm just a little excited." Liu Xianglian said.

Taking Liu Xianglian around, Xue Pan saw that Liu Xianglian was excited, so he said goodbye first, and let Liu Xianglian be alone for a while.

Sitting in the living room of her own yard, Liu Xianglian was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that there was a gift from Mrs. Xue in her arms.

The gift box was very small. Liu Xianglian opened it and saw a few pieces of paper inside. When she opened it, she saw that it was a house deed and land deed for a Zhuangzi in Tongzhou and the [-] mu of land around the Zhuangzi.

These add up to 1 taels of silver, and Liu Xianglian's hand holding the title deed trembled a little.

When she didn't open the box, Liu Xianglian thought that such a small box couldn't hold much gems, so she took it away. She never thought that Mrs. Xue would give away something worth tens of thousands of taels.

Unrequited merit is not rewarded, so precious, he absolutely cannot accept it.

Liu Xianglian got up abruptly and turned over all the chairs. He didn't care about these things and went out to find Xue Pan.

When Liu Xianglian told Xue Pan about the matter and wanted to return the land deed and house deed to Xue Pan, Xue Pan did not accept it.

"Brother, the gift from the elders is irresistible. Since your mother gave it to you, you can take it. There is nothing embarrassing." Xue Pan said, "It's just a Zhuangzi in Tongzhou. It doesn't matter if you can't buy a Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing. Our family doesn’t have one, otherwise we should give you a shop in the suburbs of Beijing. Originally, my mother planned to give you a shop. I know you don’t like restraint. The shop is trivial and you have to deal with a lot of relationships. Doing business is a merchant, which sounds bad. I gave away a piece of land, which can be used for future profits. The tenants over there are all familiar with it, and the Xue family’s land is next to it. I will take care of it for you. You don’t need to do anything Take care."

Liu Xianglian heard that Xue Pan had thought of everything for him, knowing that this place cannot be pushed away, she was moved again.

From then on, Xue Pan, and even the entire Xue family, are his direct family members.

"By the way, when mother recognizes you as her son, she treats you as her own child. Mother is a caring person. She will probably help you find your future wife. I know that you want to find a stunning one. If you If you are interested, don’t settle for it yourself, just tell your mother, and she will send a matchmaker to come to propose marriage, so you will respect the woman.” Xue Pan earnestly instructed.

"Then I'll trouble Mom." Liu Xianglian agreed.

Xue Pan smiled.

Liu Xianglian is good at everything, loyal, emphasizing love, and strong in martial arts. The only thing is that she is more impulsive. In addition to Liu Xianglian's personality, there is another reason that Liu Xianglian has always been alone. The so-called eating alone Full, the whole family is not hungry.There is no concern in my heart, so I will act recklessly.

Xue Pan now puts a layer of fetters on him, with concern, I believe he will not be so impulsive in the future.Xue Pan deliberately pointed out Mrs. Xue's concern for his marriage. If there is no accident, things like Third Sister You should never happen again in this life.
