Red Mansions Become Baochai

.Xue Shen was secretly amused, with a stern face, and sighed: "My brother has to obey what the elders say, but such a person has become a master of ethnology, what good students can he call?"

He patted his forehead again and said: "Today my brother beat Pan'er because of this gentleman, and Pan'er kept yelling that he was wronged. Now that I think about it, there are a lot of doubts. How about this, tell the truth about today's school, if you Frankly, I'll take it easy."

When Xue Xueru heard this, he didn't need to be afraid of the official coming, and his reputation would be ruined.He hurriedly told about the quarrel with Xue Pan today, fearing that his brother would blame him, so he didn't dare to mention his own words to mock Xue Ke.

Naturally, Xue Shen knew that he didn't have all the tricks, because he said: "You talk in a wrong way, and you can't do it right. I asked someone to invite other elementary school students in the school, so that the grandfather won't say that I wronged you." Then he called the servants Use the car to pick up a few elementary school students.

When Xue Xueru heard that he was going to invite his students, he expected that the students would not dare to say bad things about the husband, so he was relieved.The more Mr. Xue thought about today's events, the more strange he became, but he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the two gourds of the Changfang brothers.

Xue Quanzhong had already received his order, and he left in a hurry despite Mr. Xue's obstruction.Mr. Xue had no choice but to call his long follower to bring his grandson Xue Ba too.

Because of the proximity, Xue Ba arrived first.On the way, he heard people say that Xue Pan was almost beaten to death by his father, and he regretted it very much.I felt that I was very disrespectful to my elder brother Xue Pan, and didn't help Xue Pan.

At this time, I saw several old men sitting in the hall, and my husband stood at the bottom with a very ugly expression on his face.Although he was afraid in his heart, he still had the courage to tell Xue Qiu to deliberately mess with Xue Pan, and told about his three brothers beating Xue Pan.When Mr. Xue Pan was punished later, he ran out and didn't see it.

Xue Shen knew this early on, but he pretended to be surprised and said: "Our Pan'er was bullied first, and three beat one, but the master didn't care." Xue Ke sighed and said nothing.Seeing that his precious grandson refused to speak up for him, and he couldn't speak out to reprimand him, Mr. Xue was so angry that his beard was raised.

When the two children who were attached to the school by distant relatives came and told about Xue Xueru insulting Xue Ke when scolding Xue Pan, the situation was completely reversed.Even Master Xue Er and Master Xue Qi said that Xue Xueru should no longer be allowed to take care of ethnology.

Although Xue Ke was angry, he had a good self-restraint, but there was no smile on his face.Xue Shen was so angry that he grabbed Xue Xueru's collar and slapped him several times, but was stopped by others.

Seeing the two children staring at the dishes on the table, Xue Ke swallowed.Call someone to the kitchen to bring them some fresh and hot meals.Xue Shen asked casually: "It's already past dinner time, why haven't you guys eaten?"

The younger child said: "Because the family is poor, the winter things have not been done, and the parents have gone out to borrow money, so they have not eaten."

Xue Shen stood up and asked, "About the priests of the Japanese clan, even the distant relatives, in addition to rice grains and sacrificial objects, also had 20 taels of silver, one leather robe, and two bolts of cloth for each person in the family. Why not?" money?"

When Mr. Xue heard this, he thought he had finally come.Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Pei Gong.The Chang Fang made such a scene today, and it turned out that he wanted to rectify himself.Although he knew in his heart that he was afraid that his position as the patriarch would be unstable, but he had already been tricked and had no strong support, so he could only struggle to the death.He shouted sharply: "Children are ignorant, don't talk nonsense, the money and things have already been handed out, I'm afraid your adults will spend it outside, you don't know."

The older child said loudly: "I'm not talking nonsense. My father is at home with a twisted foot. I got it from the ancestral hall. It's two buckets of rice, a small bag of noodles, two pieces of bacon, and three feet of cloth. The old man doesn't believe it. Ask other clansmen, the people in front of me and behind me are all paid according to this number."

Xue Ke sneered and said: "When the rules in the family were changed, even we don't know. If the grandfather feels wronged today, we will open the ancestral hall and call all the people of the family. Ask, and after clearing the accounts, there will be a black and white .”

Mr. Xue dared to do this, if his embezzlement of the family property was revealed, not to mention being expelled from the clan, his money and fields would have to be returned.Isn't my family going to become a pauper?I had no choice but to bow my head and keep my mouth shut, not daring to say any excuses.

Master Xue Er panted and said: "You said that you were all for the clan, but you didn't expect that all you had were selfish. You invited a shameless nephew to teach the nephews in the clan, and you embezzled the money and things distributed to the clan. What else do you have?" What can I say?"

Master Xue Qi said angrily: "I can't complain about people talking about you. Look at how your uncle and nephew act, how respectable you are. Look at who else supports you as the patriarch? We two old men, plus the eldest house, You can open the ancestral hall and organize the clan, whether you want to ask yourself to give up the position of patriarch, or you will be kicked out at the clan meeting, you decide for yourself."

What happened on this day, Baochai only knew a part of it on the table.Xue Xueru resigned from his teaching position and went to join his father-in-law with his wife and family.

Mr. Xue said that he was old and frail and could not be tired, so he gave up the position of patriarch to Mr. Xue's eldest son.He handed over the family property he took care of. Although part of the proceeds disappeared out of thin air, the others decided to let him go and not pursue it.

The Xue Ke brothers also proposed that the clan's clan studies, ancestral graves, fields, and ancestral halls should be taken care of by each house in turn, and the patriarch should supervise them.In this way, except Mr. Xue's family, every family can get some benefits, and they don't have to worry about losing the money for sacrifices in the future.Therefore, the Venerable Master agrees with it, and we will proceed accordingly.

What Baochai didn't know was that Chuntao's real name was Cuilian, and she used to be Qingguan of Lixiangyuan in Jinling Fengyuechang.Because he plays the piano well, he has been selling his art but not his body.But at the age of Jiji, the old bustard forced her to receive guests.She was whipped and insulted by the turtle slave, but she couldn't be forced, and almost jumped off the Qinhuai River.Fortunately, he was rescued by Xue Shen, who redeemed himself with 500 taels of silver.

Xue Shen saved her because he saw her strong temper, and he had a moment of kindness, and he didn't think about taking her as a concubine.It's not easy to take her home, so I just send her to her palace flower workshop, and let her find someone to marry by herself.This Cuilian is a scheming person, although she likes her benefactor Xue Shen, but Xue Shen has no intention of her, so he let go of this concern.It's just that he is good or bad, cheap or not, and it's very inconvenient for him to get married.

Later, Xue Shen found her and asked her to help in a play. After the work was completed, she would be registered as a citizen in his hometown, and he also promised to give her 500 taels of silver for daily expenses in the future.She was overjoyed and agreed immediately.This kind of thing is extremely difficult for a girl from a good family, but she has seen it a lot in Lixiangyuan, so it is just a piece of cake for her.Only Xue Ke, Xue Shen and his wife, and Xue Quanzhong knew about this matter. After the incident, she returned to her hometown, which was absolutely safe.

There is no absolute justice in this world.Even if it is your due rights, you cannot expect others to take the initiative to give it to you, you must stand up and fight for yourself.Chuntao didn't sit idly by, but narrowly escaped death and won another spring in her life for herself.

Xunjia Xi Jia Yucun visited

"Jinling is good, the best time is New Year, Fushou shortbread with broken chicken bones, Huanxituan soaked horseshoe cake, deep-fried big Lantern Festival."

Baochai looked at Xue Pan shaking his head, and recited the Jinling folk songs that everyone had heard, with the same rhythm as poetry.He couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Gu Yunzhen also shook his head with a smile, wondering: "The first sentence of Bai Letian's three "Recalling Jiangnan" starts with "Jiangnan is good", the meaning of the words is very simple, and my cousin barely memorized it for four days. Yes. I have heard this folk song mentioned by Mammy a few times, and I can remember it word for word. Whether my cousin’s memory is good or not, I’m also confused.”

Baochai smiled and said, "Don't worry, cousin. It's not that my memory is bad." Yin said with a smile, "Listen to the ballad he recited. Shortbread, horseshoe cake, and Lantern Festival are all He loves to eat, so he will remember it in his heart as soon as he hears it."

Xue Pan listened to his sister teasing him for his gluttonous food, laughed and flipped onto the kang table, stretched out his hand, breathed twice, and scratched Baochai's armpit under his ribs.Baochai has always been the most ticklish, she couldn't stop laughing when Xue Pan tickled her, begging for mercy while dodging.

Seeing that his cousin lost to Xue Pan, Gu Yunzhen also got on the kang and joined Baochai's side, and the two joined forces.The three older children fought and laughed together.Two children, Bao Qin and Xue Biao, sat down, eating fruit, and looked at them with a smile.

Mrs. Xue and Aunt He came in, saw the three of them like this, and hurriedly pulled away with a smile.Mrs. Xue heard the reason, poked Xue Pan on the forehead with her finger, and said with a smile: "Isn't that true? Your sister is right. You are a foodie. You only grow tall, but you don't grow brains."

When Xue Pan heard this, he jumped off the kang and said, "Who said I have no brains, but my head is the biggest!" "As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter.

It turned out that after Xue Pan made a fuss in the school, Xue Ke made people declare to the outside world: Xue Pan, this naughty son, has been beaten dozens of times by him, and his skin was torn to pieces, and his whole body was useless.Now he is half dead, and he will have to recuperate at home for a year or so before he can come out to see people.

Xue Shen personally led people to fill the streets and alleys of Jinling City, finding medicine shops big and small, looking for good medicine to cure stick sores.Even a few elders in the clan came to visit in person, blocking the drive.He acted so swiftly and resolutely that those who had ridiculed him for his lack of parenting had nothing to say.

In fact, Xue Pan was under house arrest at home, and he was not allowed to go out except his parents' residence and his own small courtyard.He has made up his mind to change his past, knowing that his father is afraid that he will go outside to cause trouble again.Although he was depressed and panicked, he stayed at home obediently and didn't dare to make a fuss about going out for a stroll.

After seeing all the ugliness of Xue Xueru, who taught ethnology, Xue Ke was no longer worried about letting Xue Pan study in an outside school.He only ordered his capable subordinates to inquire about the famous and virtuous gentleman, and after checking the facts, he would pay a lot of money to hire him.
