Red Mansions Become Baochai

It's exciting, and it's very disappointing to be rushed by Xue Xueru like this.Speaking of which, Xue Xueru is his nephew according to his seniority, but in fact he is only seven or eight years younger than Mr. Xue, and the family has been separated for more than ten years.To the outside world, he claims to be a pedant, and his mouth is full of sour language and fake jealousy. In fact, he was admitted as a scholar in his twenties, and he has never even touched the door of Juren.He is also self-proclaimed, unable to stand on his own, and knows nothing about family affairs. The family gave him property, but within a few years he was defeated by him, leaving only a few empty houses.

Grandpa Xue arranged for him to study ethnology. One reason is that because of his family's rich and luxurious life, if his nephew has no food and clothing, he will inevitably be gossiped by the tribe, saying that he is unkind and unrighteous.Two, Xue Xueru and his wife are usually very flattering to their family, and every year Xue's parents' house is dedicated to the ethnology, and the big head is handed over here again.Mr. Xue has not only received benefits, but also has the reputation of taking care of his nephew, which makes Xue Xueru keep running the museum.

Today, Mr. Xue saw that his nephew was still so unpromising at his age, and he didn't like to see him very much.But there are guests around, so it's hard to ignore him.Frowning and squinting, he asked, "What's the matter, you are so frizzy, and there is still a gentleman's decent face, stand up and talk."

Xue Xueru cried and said with a sad face: "It's Xue Pan, the little thief in the long room. Today, because he was fighting with some classmates and children from the same family, and his nephew gave him a few words, he just contradicted the teacher and beat his nephew. If I don’t ask the chief housekeeper to apologize to me for deceiving my teacher and destroying my ancestors like this, my nephew will never have the face to teach ethnicity again.”

Seeing Mr. Xue's expressionless face, and fearing that his uncle would not stand up for him, he put some eye drops on Xue Pan and said, "Then Xue Pan not only deceived his master and exterminated his ancestors, but even Mr. Xue Ba, his grandson, was beaten until he cried." Woolen cloth."

This Xue Bat is Mr. Xue's most beloved grandson. Upon hearing this, Mr. Xue blew his beard and stared at him and said: "The reason why the elders are so arrogant and helpless is that they have no elders to teach them. Needless to say, let's start today Let someone pass the message in the past, so that his two brothers will not find an excuse to hide."

After finishing speaking, I asked Xue Xueru that he hadn't eaten yet, and asked the kitchen to prepare some food for him.Grandpa Xue asked someone to bring Xue Bat in. Xue Bat was quite frightened today, he could only cry, sobbing for a while, he said that he had no intention of throwing Xue Pan down, and Xue Pan beat them with the inkstone.

Mr. Xue has always defended his shortcomings, and never asked his good grandson, why did he perform martial arts in the school?He only hates to scold Xue Pan for daring to beat his precious grandson, it's like breaking ground on the grandson's head.The long house raised such a bully, who beat the descendants of the same clan, and even beat the teacher.Disrespecting the teacher will destroy the heavens and the earth. This time, the matter will definitely become a big mess, and the elder will not only ask for an apology, but also offer money to forgive the crime.

Speaking of which, in terms of qualifications and popularity, Mr. Xue also knew that he could not be the head of the Xue family.However, there are not many elders in the eighth room of the Xue family who can convince others. The Xue family is outstanding among them. Those who are good at reading are like Xue Gong who has become an official.Master Xue Qi was too lazy to take care of trifles in the clan.Of the rest of the older generation, only you have the highest seniority.

Back then, if he hadn't cheated and deceived the clan members while Xue Gong was seriously ill in the capital, Xue Gong and his wife had personally said that they would support him as the next patriarch, and had easily won the position of Xue family head, how could Sanfang Is it so prosperous today?

So what if you offend your relatives?So what if the tribe is not close to his third wife?As the head of the clan, he can decide all important matters in the clan with one word. With power, who wouldn't follow him?

Mr. Xue felt that as long as his status as patriarch was revealed, Xue Ke and Xue Shen, as juniors, would never dare to openly disobey him.Taking advantage of this matter, it is just right for the long house to hand over part of the land and pavement, which can be regarded as family property. Anyway, the family property is taken care of by himself, basically it is regarded as the property of his third house.

Thinking of getting back a fortune from the long house today, Mr. Xue's dim old eyes sparkled with joy, the more he thought about it, the more complacent he was, and he asked the two musicians to play the pipa again, and he sang along: Although it is not the eight ministers with purple ribbons in the middle, they are in charge of the golden hairpin girls in the six palaces, babbling...

Xue's parent's room, here in Mingyutang, after hearing what the two distant relatives said about the incident, the whole family was very angry. Only Baochai felt that this was a godsend opportunity. Learning is a waste of time.

Xue Shen's face was flushed with anger, and the muscles in his neck were bulging. Thinking of the shrunken and vulgar Xue Xueru mocking his elder brother, and that Mr. Xue, who lived on the long house, dared to challenge his family, he slapped the table hard and said: "Because our brothers are young and have their own busy schedules, so we don't care about the family's small affairs, and now we respect these elders! I am not at home all year round, and even the elders of the same clan can't control me. According to me, today Let’s just make a fuss, let’s see if they are away from our eldest room, can they still live a rich life in such a carefree way?”

Mrs. Liu always knew that her husband was a quick-tempered person, so she quickly came over and pulled him to sit down, persuading him: "Brother has not spoken yet, you just hit the table and bench and scold people, don't stop. Just want to make trouble, Brothers and sisters-in-law should also be careful, and then you can charge forward and you will be up to you."

When Mrs. Xue heard that her son had suffered such a great grievance, she cried again in anger, but she didn't hear clearly that Mrs. Liu was playing games.I also saw Gu Yunzhen persuading his mother not to cry by the kang, and hurriedly walked over and said, "My dear sister, you are the most sensible person. There are some people out there who have evil intentions and are jealous of the harmony and kindness of other families. They love to say things that are not lawful." It is our fault that you are wronged like this."

Baochai also came over to persuade Aunt He, saying, "Auntie, don't cry, I'll ask Daddy to bring that bad gentleman here, and ask him to kowtow to you and make amends."

Aunt He hurriedly wiped away her tears, and said with a smile: "Good boy, Auntie doesn't cry." Then she said to Mrs. Xue: "Sister-in-law, because I came to the house, I caused so many gossip, it's all my fault..."

"Nonsense!" Aunt He hadn't finished speaking, but was cut off by Xue Ke.He only heard him say: "Secretary, you have been educated and sensible since childhood, how could you blame yourself for the unreasonable slander by outsiders."

Xue Ke restrained his anger, and continued coldly: "It is my fault to say that this matter is also my fault, because my parents are gone, and I usually value the status of relatives too much. Thinking that our house is weak, In the next generation, there are only two Pan'er and Tiao'er, and Tiao'er is out with his brothers. There is only one boy in the family, Pan'er, who is too lonely, so he is sent to study at the ethnology school. I hope that in the future, more brothers of the same clan will help each other. "

Xue Shen said angrily: "Brother has always respected elders the most, Mr. Xue is so complacent with his status as patriarch, and he doesn't think about the large and small properties of Xue family, most of them are donated by our family, even the school is also dedicated by the elder. Let's take out the money and raise this shameless bastard!"

Xue Ke looked at the furious brother, didn't speak for a while, and said after a long time: "Even if they start to make trouble, we have to follow up. It's just that they are elders after all, and even if we take advantage of it, we will inevitably be criticized in the future. Four. We still need to invite a few masters from the same family to sit in on the watch."

After finishing speaking, he asked someone to take the post, and went to invite Master Xue Er and Master Xue Qi to come over. He said that there was an important matter in the clan to discuss, and asked them to come. After thinking about it, he ordered the second master to bring his eldest son and daughter-in-law. come together.

Seeing that the elder brother no longer swallowed his anger, Xue Shen said joyfully: "It's still the elder brother who is thoughtful. With the presence of our parents and seniors, we will tear it apart so that some people will not spread rumors behind our backs, saying that we brothers disrespect our elders and act recklessly."

Xue Ke shook his head, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not afraid of the slanting shadow, I'm not afraid of gossip. It just depends on what the grandpa is going to do today. If we only came for Pan'er, we are also at fault. We should ask Pan'er to apologize, but we will not be able to do it in the future." There is no need to go to that clan to learn. If you feel that the head room is at their disposal, I will give them a hard time."

Mrs. Xue was terrified when she heard that, she personally poured a cup of Liu'an tea and brought it to her husband, and asked, "Second Master Xue is an elder, so it is right to invite Xue Yi and his wife from the second room to come and do it. what?"

Xue Ke picked up the tea, saw the tea leaves floating and sinking in the cup, and asked lightly: "You are at home on weekdays, how about looking at Xue Yi and his couple?"

Mrs. Xue was puzzled, and answered truthfully: "Both of them are real people. Brother Xue Yi doesn't like to talk much. His wife, Mrs. Lu, can talk and talk. I heard that she loves children at home and treats us well. Very affectionate."

Xue Ke used a bowl cover to shake the floating tea and said: "Although our family is the first branch of the eldest family, there are many affairs in the family, and people with both ability and political integrity are needed to help take care of it." He took a sip of tea, He also said: "If the patriarch's health is not good, the eldest son can take care of the family's sacrifices and family property on his behalf, and the clan wife also has the responsibility to take care of the female relatives in the clan.

"

Xue Shen said with a smile: "Brother, this move is not bad, but we are descendants, and if we give up the position of patriarch to them next door, they can still take advantage of us, so why don't we just pull out the genealogy and form a small clan of our own. It’s more comfortable for the family to live on their own.”

Xue Ke said: "A good man with three gangs, not to mention the same clan, broken bones and connected tendons. The long house is weak, and it is only for the sake of Pan'er Tiaoer, so that they can have more brothers from the same clan to help them in the future. For the time being, that's all. I will take care not to be restrained by patriarchal clan rules."

The two brothers were talking, but Baochai and Mrs. Xue felt sorry for Xue Pan. Baochai knew that Mrs. Xue would not dare to say anything to make Xue Pan get up, so she walked up to her father and pulled his sleeve and said coquettishly, "Father, In such a cold day, let your brother get up and have some hot soup."

Xue Ke said: "Although there is a reason for what happened, your brother is also at fault. If he did something wrong, he should be punished and let him eat on his knees."
