Battle of the Red Chamber Ring III

Jia Huan was stopped by Mu Kun at the foot of the mountain before he set off, so he could still squat in the temple to study obediently, while Mu Kun went down the mountain to see where Xue Pan was placed.Yinglian's original name was Zhen, and Mu Kun called the other party his cousin, so naturally his surname was also Zhen, but it was a pity that he didn't seem to care very much about the Zhen family in Jinling, and he didn't say anything, and he didn't move forward.

Yinglian's mother, Mrs. Zhen's family, is now living under her natal Feng's family. She has to do some embroidery work every day. She is already a little old, but now she suddenly heard that her daughter had been found, and she was stunned on the spot.Seeing the tears of the Zhen family's wife, the servant girl who was waiting on the side hurriedly said: "Ma'am, why are you crying, why don't you go and see first, if it's a young lady, you're not busy."

The lady of the Zhen family hurriedly took out her handkerchief and wiped away her tears, and said hurriedly: "Very true, take me to have a look."

Perhaps there was a real sense, the lady of the Zhen family felt that her steps were brisk, and she was completely free of the fatigue she used to walk. She put one hand on the maid's arm and walked quickly. When she was almost in the lobby, she stopped by the threshold and Lifting the hem of the skirt and preparing to go in, he heard a man's voice.

"At first I didn't know that Xiangling was owned by someone, but I heard that the dealer picked it up by the side of the street. Now that I found it, I thought of coming to propose marriage." Xue Pan sat next to Feng Su, facing Feng Su With a cup of hands, he ordered the people below to hand over Dahong's post, and asked someone to carry a yard of dowry gifts to fill the entire yard.

Feng Suzheng was so happy that he didn't know what to say, he just rubbed his hands, stood up quickly when his daughter came, and said, "Come and see your Yinglian, she has grown into an adult now."

The lady of the Zhen family supported the maid with trembling hands, and walked slowly into the door. When she got close, the woman who had been sitting on the first chair on the right with her head down slowly raised her head. The lady of the Zhen family saw Xiangling Red mole between eyebrows.

"It's my Yinglian, my Yinglian, Yinglian!" The lady of Zhen's family suddenly felt that she had no strength in her whole body, she leaned back on the maidservant's body, and slowly stretched out her trembling hand. Xiangling glanced at it first. Seeing the other party nodding, Xue Pan hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the hand of Mrs. Zhen's, and was pulled back by the other party.

Feng Su said: "Since it's a happy event, I ordered someone to prepare a banquet. You take Yinglian to the inner house and have a good chat. I invited Mr. Xue to have a chat." He waved for Mrs. Zhen to take Yinglian Walking in, he ordered the servants to buy some ingredients so that he could invite people to dinner at night.

Although Xue Pan looked confused among the aristocratic families, he had more knowledge than these small families. He knew that no one would object to this marriage, so he happily chatted with Feng Su and asked about Xiang Xiang. The situation of Ling's father.

Xiangling followed Mrs. Zhen's family to the back room, and when she saw the other party crying, she shed tears too. The mother and daughter cried for a while, and Mrs. Zhen asked about Xiangling's recent situation.

Xiangling said: "I didn't suffer too much, it's just that the trafficker didn't let me move around. Later, I met the young master, and because I got into a life lawsuit, my wife made the decision a few years ago and turned her face off." My own lips, because I was young when I was abducted, I didn’t receive much education when I was in the hands of human traffickers. I only learned characters and poems from Lin Daiyu and others after Xue Pan, but there is no reason to be a human being.

The lady of the Zhen family patted Xiangling's head with trembling hands, only pinching the handkerchief and asked: "He came here this time, is he going to marry you as a concubine?"

Xiangling shook her head: "The young master said that their Xue family is not as good as before. Since I have a natal family, I might as well forget about it and change my name to marry him as the main house. Even if it’s a good idea, I don’t know.”

The lady of the Zhen family said, "How did you find this place?"

Xiangling looked timidly at Mrs. Zhen's family and said: "It is said that a cousin came here, and I heard that the one who judged the lawsuit knew my background, so I inquired and came here."

She didn't say it when the lawsuit was adjudicated, but now some relatives are looking for it, and the lady of the Zhen family knows that there must be cause and effect, but now that she is a woman, if her husband is still there, she can still rely on her to some extent.The lady of the Zhen family also knew that this matter was no longer her wish or not. She held Xiangling's hand and only asked about the date, and after she knew it, she lived in Jinling.

"The young master said that my cousin gave Yinzi to settle the property in Jinling, saying that he asked me to pick you up so that I could have a mother's family, so that I could have someone to rely on in case of any emergency." Xiangling bit Lip, this is what Mr. Mu said in private. She has her own thoughts, and now she confides them when she sees Mrs. Zhen's family.

"If your father was still alive, I would never allow anyone to treat you with such contempt, but now the situation is pressing, it is a matter of a lifetime for this woman to get married, and in this case, I will listen to your cousin." The lady of the Zhen family sighed With a sigh of relief, the maid serving outside sent a message saying: "Master Xue said that it is rare for Miss to see her natal family now, why not stay here for a few days, and then go to the new house together when you find a better day, so that you can take care of your mother and daughter." mutual affection."

The lady of Zhen's family beamed with joy when she heard this, and hurriedly ordered the servant girl to tidy up her room and come out to lie on her side, and picked out the bedding herself, and arranged for the servant girl to wait on her. Then I saw Mu Kun standing outside, leaning against the door and looking up, not knowing what he was looking at.

Xue Pan hurriedly got off his horse and cupped his hands to Mu Kun, saying, "Mr. is well, since you're here, why don't you go in and see him?"

Mu Kun shook his head: "It's not busy, we'll see you someday. I heard the news that your royal errand has been relieved?"

Xue Pan replied: "I also know that I am not as smart as my father, and the shopkeepers under me have ulterior motives. It is better to exchange favors than to die in my hands. If you are not busy, sir, you can go to the small house to sit."

Mu Kun took a look at Xue Pan, and it was nice to lose weight now, and said: "Your sister is assigned to Concubine Zhen now, you tell her to be careful, and if she is not busy, she should contact her family more often. Tell her not to approach the emperor."

After hearing this, Xue Pan hurriedly said: "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I only have such a younger sister. As long as she is good, I have no other requirements." At the beginning, it was Xue Baochai who was able to connect with Mu Kun, and it was Xue Baochai who came to the palace. The decision to let Xue Pan give up his status as an imperial merchant was also ordered by his sister.

"You don't need to thank me, you and I are just a deal, if I'm good, you'll be good too, if you're good, I'll be good too." Naturally, the words that pointed Xue Pan were sent by the prince, and the prince saw what happened today. .It is a skill to be able to dig out a corner from the four major families.It's just that the Zhen family is expected to be unlucky now, and Mu Kun feels that all his recent hard work is worth it.

Seeing Mu Kun leave, Xue Pan got on his horse, and brought a servant who came with him slowly back to the Xue family's ancestral house. Although it was to avoid disaster at the beginning, but now he traded the imperial merchants for a piece of peace, he didn't know what was going on. Is it worth it, but since my sister said it, he listened, and life is not worse than before. It seems that after knowing some things at the beginning, the things I liked before don’t feel lively now. Maybe this is what others said After reading Qianfan, he straightened his cuffs proudly, thinking that his wife doesn't have to worry about it now.

The lady of Zhen's family arranged Yinglian to sleep in the house, and she helped the maid to go out, and saw her father in the lobby. Seeing her daughter coming, Feng Su couldn't help sighing: "Why haven't you slept yet, Yinglian?" Did Lian fall asleep?"

The lady of Zhen's family nodded, and sat down next to the chair. After sitting down, she said to Feng Su: "My daughter is not filial, let father worry about this at such an advanced age."

"Why don't you worry about it? She was originally my granddaughter. Although I don't like my son-in-law, I can still dislike your daughter. Although he is not good, he has a good brother and gave birth to a capable son." Feng Su said Before Xue Pan came, he got the news. At the beginning, Xue Pan was known to everyone because of Yinglian's incident. He just wanted to recognize Yinglian, but she was taken by Xue's family to the capital. It's lucky.

"My poor daughter, she was bullied without a matchmaker, and she still wants to marry an enemy, really..." After that, the lady of the Zhen family could only hold her throat.

Seeing that her daughter couldn't figure it out, Feng Su sighed: "So what if I don't marry, I can find an honest man to marry Yinglian and take care of her for the rest of her life, but you don't know what others think of Yinglian. If you marry a woman after going through the right path, you just don't know."

"I didn't get such a daughter until I was in my thirties, father!" The lady of the Zhen family showed an angry look, but she was so angry that her eye sockets were dry. She had been crying for too long, and her heart was so hard that she couldn't cry now. .

"Then what do you think, it's up to you, don't tell me whether your daughter is willing or not, you didn't see it!" Feng Su's complexion turned blue, his whole body was tense, and the veins on the palm of his hand holding the armrest bulged.

The lady of the Zhen family covered her face with her hand, staring blankly at the blackness in her palm, she couldn't ask for it, she had no way out, could it be that she was really going to die on such a road.

"The people don't fight with officials, and the poor don't fight with the rich. Madam, just pretend you haven't given birth." Feng Su couldn't bear it, but now there is only this way. At the beginning, he saw that his son-in-law was not giving birth at home. Shocked him, who knew that person was useless, he left his wife and son and followed the mad monk, he was clean when he left, but he left his daughter alone at her mother's house.Now it's his daughter, who doesn't know right from wrong.But how could he blame such a small person, if he hadn't been taken away by human traffickers, he wouldn't have fallen to where he is today.

After thinking about it, Feng Su felt that this was not bad, so he held back his anger for a while: "Didn't Brother Kun say that he will pick you up, and after Yinglian gets married, you will let her have a few more children, and then keep one Having children by your side is good for passing the time, but no matter how many bad things there are, they will be forgotten after a long time.” People have hope only when they are alive.

The lady of the Zhen family put down her hands, there was no trace of tears on her face, she just stared blankly at Feng Su, and then at the dark sky outside the door: "Father is right, as long as you live is enough." Waiting for Yinglian to give birth My child, it would be great if Mr. Xue died earlier.That is to say, from this day on, the lady of the Zhen family started not to eat meat and fish every day, and devoted herself to seeking the Tao.
