[Red Chamber] Aunt Xue doesn't want to be a widow

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Baochai would be washed three times. Looking at the little baby who has been different every day since it was born, the prince still looked forward to the ceremony for a while in his heart.

Waiting for noon, everyone had lunch, and the three rites officially began, outside the bedroom of Prince Meng.

Hosted by the midwife Wen Po, first the women of Xue's relatives added gold, silver and naked children to the basin one by one in order of seniority, and Wen Po would say an auspicious word every time they added something, and then the basin was ringing, and Baochai heard the sound Naturally burst into tears.

Xue Pan, who stayed in the room at this time, felt sorry for his crying sister, but he remembered what the nanny said yesterday, and his little face was full of tangles.

According to the rules, Baochai was placed in a pot of scarlet rosewood flowers that had been prepared long ago and filled with various mascots and began to wash. Wang Zimeng listened to the movement in the room, thinking that his daughter's small body was going to be surrounded by everyone. Fortunately, I had someone prepare a tent yesterday, so it's better to block it a little bit.

After the three baptisms, Xiao Baochai was sent back to Wang Zimeng, followed by Xiao Xuepan.

Wang Zimeng first carefully coaxed the little girl who was still crying, and did not forget to put Xue Pan to bed. The weather has turned warm recently, and the winter in the south is still wet and cold.

When the baby was just born, it was sleeping except for breastfeeding. After coaxing it for a while, it fell asleep. Wang Zimeng put the baby down, pulled Xiao Xue Pan, and was about to start talking. She found out early this morning that he was emotional Something was wrong, although she had arranged for someone to watch over her, but sometimes she couldn't take care of it.

"Pan'er, do you think it's interesting to wash my sister today?" Normally, children should be most interested in this kind of lively scene, but Xue Pan's performance was also said by the person who just stared at it. Happy, even very complicated.

"Pan'er likes it." The child was a little silent today.

Wang Zimeng guessed that he had some knots in his heart, so he could only continue to seduce: "Back when Pan'er was a child, she cried much louder than her younger sister, and my mother could hear that voice clearly inside, and my heart ached so much. .”

Little Xue Pan heard her mother mention things about her childhood, and finally looked at Wang Zimeng with bright eyes. Wang Zimeng sighed in his heart. After all, he is still a child who is less than three years old. I have not learned to hide my thoughts.

"Pan'er, although father and mother have a younger sister now, you are naturally a good baby for parents, and mother still likes Pan'er very much." Wang Zimeng looked at his cute appearance and hugged him gently in his arms. with.

"Really? Parents won't dislike me just because I have a younger sister?" Xiao Xue Pan carefully asked this question that had troubled him all night. After all, yesterday he overheard the girls saying that the uncle and wife are very close It is because of the importance of this child, especially the uncle, who was not at home when the eldest son was born last time, and waited so nervously outside the delivery room when the young lady was born...

He knew that the uncle is the father, the wife is the mother, and the young master is himself!

Moreover, the nanny Qiu Mama has always taught him to be sensible and not to annoy his wife, not to get close to his sister and so on.

"How can Pan'er think that parents will not like you when they have a younger sister? You are all good children of parents?" Wang Zimeng knew that his guess should be correct when he heard Xue Pan's question, and he was sure. It was someone who provoked something in the middle.

Hmph, it's really good, someone wants to break the relationship between Xue Pan, himself and Baochai at such a young age, and his Yuelan Courtyard looks really good now.

"But my father wasn't there when mother gave birth to me." Xue Pan finally said what he cared about. He felt so warm lying in mother's arms, and mother's words were as sweet as candy his heart.

"Who told you this? Mother Qiu?" Wang Zimeng's heart was on fire, and he patted Xue Pan's small body tenderly with a smile on his surface.

"No, I heard Chuntao and those girls gathered together yesterday. They didn't see me and said a lot." Xiao Xue Pan confessed without any precautions.

Wang Zimeng recalled who Xia Chuntao was?Only then did I realize that it was the second-class girl next to her, how nice!

"Oh, father happened not to be at home when Pan'er was born, and he was going to come back to wait for you, but I didn't expect that Xiao Pan'er was too anxious to come out to see mother, so it's just that father didn't catch up." Wang Zimeng opened his eyes and said Nonsense, at the beginning Xue Qingxian didn't care so much about the child and the original body, and it happened that something happened in the business, so he concentrated on dealing with business matters outside.

"But Daddy is very fierce to me, not to my sister." Xiao Xue Pan has been here for the past two days, so he naturally found out his father's attitude towards his sister.

Wang Zimeng finally understands how sensitive little Xue Pan's mind is, and it's not surprising that Xue Qingxian was a little absent during the child's growth. After Xue Pan was born, Xue Qingxian was busy with the Xue family's business, and was always outside. He always wanted to educate Xue Pan. At that time, Wang Zimeng was busy with family chores, and was exhausted from dealing with the difficult mother-in-law. For the children, he was more likely to leave his hands to Qiu's mother. Now it seems that Qiu's mother also has her own thoughts. , No wonder the little guy is so insecure.

Wang Zimeng's tone was more gentle, "I'm sorry Pan'er, both parents love you very much in their hearts, but because you are the eldest son in the family, they are more strict with you, but it doesn't mean that we love you less than our younger sister."

She didn't know if a child under three years old could understand so many profound responsibilities and the like, she could only emphasize over and over again that she and Xue Qingxian loved him, and they loved him and her sister equally.

Little Xue Pan didn't know if he understood, but he nodded, and his expression was a little more relaxed than before.

"My younger sister not only belongs to me and your father, but she is also your younger sister. From now on, you two will be the ones who can accompany each other for a long time." Wang Zimeng continued to infiltrate.

Xue Pan frowned suspiciously, "But Mother Qiu said that my younger sister will marry sooner or later, and I don't need to be close, and I will be the most honorable person in the Xue family from now on."

Wang Zimeng was shocked when he heard this, and tried his best to control his expression. She didn't know what the purpose of Qiu's words was, whether he was patriarchal in his mind, or had some other malicious thoughts, no matter what it was. Similarly, she would not allow Xue Pan to have such an existence around him.

"My sister will always be our family, you will be my sister's support in the future, and my sister will always be your closest relative, do you think she is so young, does she need Pan'er's protection?" Wang Zimeng could only quickly transmit view of kinship.

The mother and son chatted for a while. Xue Pan was tired after waking up early in the morning, and most of the troubles in his heart had been resolved.

At this time, Wang Zimeng was not in the mood to sleep, so she asked Tong Huan to invite Xue Qingxian over, and then told him about today's conversation, although she is also capable of handling this matter, she can still clean up her own yard, But the child's psychological problems are not just her fault, Xue Qingxian is also responsible.

Besides, she is confinement and doesn't want to worry too much, so Xue Qingxian is obviously more suitable to deal with this matter. She doesn't care about others saying behind her back that she is not good at managing, but Xue Qingxian's actions can make some people really feel afraid.

After listening to Wang Zimeng's words, Xue Qingxian also realized that her neglect of the eldest son was harmful to the child, and even more things were caused by those reasons.

Although he didn't grow up in a loving environment, seeing how Wang Zimeng cared about the children, he knew what he should do.

The husband and wife discussed with each other for the time being, and let Xue Qingxian find out what Qiu's mother's motivation was. Xue Pan stayed by Wang Zimeng's side for the past two days.

And Chuntao and others who gossip behind their backs should take advantage of this opportunity to dig out all of them. Wang Zimeng asked Tong Huan and Tong Le to handle this matter, not just those few. Those who are treacherous, tricky, cautious, and unable to do their jobs well need to be found out.

After discussing the two to act separately, on the surface it still looks the same as before.

Qiu's mother was a little scared when Wang Zimeng said that she would take Xue Pan with her for the next two days, but seeing the lady's still kind smile and gentle eyes, the strings in her heart gradually let go, and she became more and more paranoid these days , always think about something.

"It's hard work for you to be with Pan'er, especially these days when I'm pregnant and giving birth. It's also expensive. Bring the things for Qiu's mother." Wang Zimeng showed his sincerity in order not to startle the snake.

When Mother Qiu took it, she knew it was a pair of red gold bracelets. She was very happy, and all the doubts in her mind just now were thrown out of the sky.

Wang Zimeng is about to go to Qiu's mother's house after the reward. She should try her best to pay more attention to Xue Pan during this time to dispel his uneasiness.

Xue Qingxian obviously thought so too, and had dinner with the child that night, Xue Pan was a little unaccustomed to the rare gentleness.

For the next two days, Yuelan Courtyard was very calm. It wasn't until noon on the third day, when Xue Qingxian came back for lunch, and the children were asleep, that they really had a seizure.

The first to bear the brunt was Qiu's mother who had just returned, and Xue Qingxian had already found out the reason.

It was nothing more than the fact that Qiu's mother had always performed well because she was Xue Pan's nanny, so her husband was assigned to work in the Xue family's shop. After a few years, everyone else had the opportunity to make progress. The one in her family was just a Boy, he didn't think it was a problem with his ability, but he kept burying his grievances by Mama Qiu. Those with or without.

The husband and wife were not in the mood to argue with her about right and wrong, so they directly slapped her on the board and sold her. After all, they signed a death contract to ensure the nanny's loyalty.

Naturally, her husband will no longer be employed.

At the beginning, Mother Qiu thought that she would enjoy endless glory when she entered Xue's mansion as Xue Pan's nanny, so naturally she didn't care that what she signed was a death contract, and she even wished to tie herself to the Xue family's big boat forever.

It is useless to regret at this time, who told her not to recognize her duty, but to move those crooked thoughts.

That day, those who talked about the master behind Chuntao's back didn't have any good fruit, and they were all sent out because they were not very good on weekdays, so naturally they couldn't get any lenient treatment.

Afterwards, Wang Zimeng has been slack since she was pregnant, and some slaves with other problems were found out one by one. Tong Huan listed the problems one by one, and then according to the size and nature of the mistakes, those who should be kicked out and those who should be punished should be punished. , with Xue Qingxian sitting here, no matter what the status of the family's children or the elders of the family, they are merciless.

After that, he was no longer allowed to stay in Yuelan Courtyard to serve him.

Wang Zimeng was still confinement in the bedroom. Xue Qingxian personally decided all of this, and no one dared to refute it. After the process was over, the people left in the yard were a little panicked. In fact, most of the people left were Although there were some small mistakes, it probably didn't cause any major hindrance. At this time, I just feel lucky that I didn't have so many careful thoughts when I was on duty, otherwise, the fate of those people would be obvious.

After this clean-up, the number of servants in Yuelan Court has decreased a lot, and many vacancies have been left to be filled. Many people have moved their minds, but Wang Zimeng is not in a hurry, he just wants to wait for his own confinement to choose .
