The Weight of the Red Mansion Walks the Road of Life

Chapter 22

Although Aunt Xue found many decent excuses for her coming to Beijing, in fact, the Xue family really came to Beijing to avoid disaster. It was extremely fast, so it could be calculated that the whole family of Xue's family arrived within a day after the letter arrived.

Don't look at the matter of Xue Pan at that time, it was quite a big disturbance on the surface, but in fact, this matter was actually nothing in the eyes of officials like Mrs. Wang, so at this moment, it is Mrs. Wang who is very troublesome. A selfish person didn't think about Xue Pan's mischief, fearing that he would spoil his own son, but he was more happy to meet his natal sisters in his heart.

In the previous generation of the Wang family, there were only two males and Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue and two girls, and the two sisters were about the same age, and they were raised together since childhood. Intimacy, even compared to sisters of direct relatives.

Later, Mrs. Wang married Jia Zhengjia Cunzhou, the second son of the Duke's Mansion, but Aunt Xue married Jinling and married into Xue's family. Now the two sisters have not seen each other for more than 20 years.This time Aunt Xue came to Beijing to stay in Rongguo Mansion temporarily, which made Mrs. Wang very happy.

As for the pair of children brought by Aunt Xue - Baochai is a girl's family. Although they are a little older than the girls in the mansion, they are actually not too old. Mrs. Wang arranged for Xue Baochai and many sisters in the Rongguo Mansion Together, they only raised Baochai as if they were their own girls.And Xue Pan is a few years older than Baochai. Although he is not married and is not considered an adult, he is still a half-grown boy in terms of age. What people care about, and her own son Jia Zhu is sick, so after thinking about it, she only called Jia Lian, and only asked Jia Lian, his cousin, to take him in Beijing to meet someone.

No better than Jia Zhu is an orthodox scholar, although this Jia Lian is no better than Jia She is absurd, but because he lost his mother when he was young and he was a nobleman, the upbringing he received when he was young was not too strict, and he was actually not too much when he grew up freely. What kind of serious person, the people who can get acquainted with him are actually more fun-loving people. In this case, Xue Pan is more like-minded, and it is even more impossible to control Xue Pan, just take him with him Just play around.

And Xue Pan didn't want to come to Rongguo Mansion at first, because he was afraid of being controlled by others. Now he found that even if he lived in Jia's Mansion, no one restrained him, and there was an extra side door in the courtyard where he lived. , I felt infinitely at ease in my heart, not only quickly became acquainted with the people Jia Lian introduced, but also quickly became acquainted with many clansmen in Ningrong Street. He has a lot of fun skills, so he won't mention moving out now.

Although Xue Pan may have many shortcomings in being a superior person, at least he is always rich enough in money when he makes a move. This is his great advantage in the eyes of many people.You must know that despite the fact that the Jia family has a branch of the two states, it sounds very respectable for its high position and weight, but it is true that in Ningrong Street, apart from the two states, the population of the several branches of the Jia family is very high. There are more, most of whom are fun-loving and have little money.And even if they are the children of meritorious families, most of them are strictly controlled by the family members. Even if the food and clothing are considered to be top-notch, they are inevitably a little bit shy when they go out to play, and Xue Pan But there is no shortage of money, so naturally it is still popular.

Baochai's age is actually older than all the girls in Jia's mansion today, and she has a thoughtful and smart personality, plus she is a blood relative of the wife and grandmother who is now the head of the house. It didn't take long for the whole house to be full of praise. Everyone praised Miss Bao for her thoroughness, even more than the girls in the house, even the little girls liked to joke with Baochai more.

The servants in the Rongguo Mansion were very talkative, and they were used to gossiping about their masters, even if they commented on the serious masters and girls in the mansion, they didn't think there was anything wrong.As for Baochai, although she came from a merchant family, Aunt Xue is an upright daughter of the royal family. In fact, she looks far more mature than her actual age, stable and thoughtful, and she is no worse than a serious official girl, and those who come from merchant families are always longer-sleeved and good at dancing, so it is basically impossible to win the favor of others. It's not difficult.

But the problem is that there is still Lin Daiyu in Jia's mansion today, no more than in her previous life. At first, Daiyu surpassed three serious Jia girls and won all the favor of Jia's mother. Although Xue Baochai won the praise of the whole house, But more people just compare Miss Bao and Miss Lin, two girls from the same relative family. This is mostly because of Lin Daiyu's face, and it won't cause any major problems.

But Lin Daiyu is not in the Rongguo Mansion now, so the only ones who can be compared with Xue Baochai are Ying Tanxi and the three of them. These three are the most decent ladies in Jia's Mansion, but they can't compare with a relative outside Business girl at home.

Speaking of which...

For Mrs. Wang, Xue Baochai is her natal niece, and her own daughter entered the palace early. Although Yingchun under her name has received some love from her, she is not her own after all. To add fuel to the flames of the message, but in the end it is not enough to speak specifically for Yingchun, but the relationship between Tanchun and Xichun is further away, let alone Madam Wang.

That's all for Yingchun and Tanchun, Yingchun is not a competitive temperament, and Tanchun is used to being suppressed in his previous life, so he doesn't think there is anything wrong, but the youngest Xichun is really upset.

No wonder Xichun is unhappy, after all, Xichun is actually Jia Jing's only direct daughter in the Ningguo Mansion, and the direct sister of Jia Zhen, the current third-rank general. Gong's Yuanchun's background is far inferior to hers - even now she is considered to be dependent on others, but she is still a bit arrogant, although because of her young relationship, she does not show any sense of superiority to the two elder sisters in Rongguo Mansion Come, but it is absolutely impossible to be willing to be under the pressure of a merchant woman.

Xichun is not Yingchun's soft and gentle temperament, since she has been wronged, she has no reason to suffer in vain. Although she still looks at her coldly and doesn't say anything, she always remembers it in her heart, and she is very fond of this sister Xue Jiabao in her heart. Some are unhappy.

Although Baochai still has a good reputation in the mansion because of her temperament, in fact, this good reputation is mostly spread among the servants. As for the masters - Li Wan has now given birth to the only elder brother of the Rongguo Mansion , the husband is also very promising, so he has a lot of confidence, and he doesn't need to be as knowledgeable as Xue Baochai. Although Wang Xifeng only gave birth to a sister, but he is in charge of the middle class of the Rongguo Mansion, and she is Xue Baochai's cousin, so there is no need to cater to her. However, the two girls mostly live with their sister-in-laws. Even Tanchun, who admired Xue Baochai infinitely in her previous life, now does not need to look at Mrs. Wang's face to support Xue Baochai-so Xue Baochai's reputation is not recognized by the master. It's really not as high as in my previous life.

And going around, it is the end of the year again in a blink of an eye, and in the winter, the plum blossoms in Ningguo Mansion are gradually blooming, because the plum blossoms are really luxuriant this year, Ning Rongguo Mansion has always been very intimate, both With a good scene to see, the other end of Ningguo Mansion naturally posted a post to Rongguo Mansion to invite people to enjoy the flowers and eat wine.

Girls shouldn't go to this banquet. After all, Yingchun, the biggest girl in the Rongguo Mansion, is still young and not yet old enough to go out to meet guests, so this post is actually nothing more than It's nothing more than inviting Jia's mother and punishing Wang's second wife and Li Wanfeng's sister. It's a pity that Chun was indignant about being overwhelmed by Baochai, so she simply asked her to talk to her sister-in-law You Shi on the other side of Ningfu. , and took the two of Yingchun and Tanchun together.

Although Xichun is the fourth girl in the Rongguo Mansion, in fact the two mansions have separated long ago, and this generation should be lined up separately. In fact, Xichun should be the eldest girl in the Ningguo Mansion.Therefore, Xichun's coming to Ning Mansion can only be regarded as going home rather than being a guest. As the only daughter of the Ning Mansion, it is only logical that she wants to invite two good sisters to visit her home.

Although no matter how you say it, this matter seems to be no problem, but I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional. In this way, only the Xue family did not receive the post.

Even if Sister Feng tweeted the post for the housekeeper, she accepted the post to save face, so it was only the Xue family who was thrown down and lost face.

In the previous life, apart from the Xue family, Lin Daiyu was also unable to receive the post because she was wearing mourning, and the girls did not have the opportunity to attend the banquet. Speaking of it, it can only be said that Ningguo Mansion only wanted to invite the wives and grandmas in the mansion, which is nothing to say It was shameful, but it seemed abrupt to be left behind this time.

Aunt Xue was fine, after all, she could hold her breath when she was older, but Xue Baochai was a little more sensitive, so she inevitably felt very sad about it, and even had a fever once again because she hooked up with her, so she had to take another one. Leng Xiangwan barely suppressed it for a while.

Although Xue Baochai is older than the girls in the mansion, she is still just a little girl, and she has a high-minded temperament. Naturally, she is very unhappy in her heart, but the Xue family is powerless to do anything about this matter. Yes, Aunt Xue can only comfort her with a few words of comfort.

The author has something to say:

10 minutes late...

I feel that the timeline in Dream of Red Mansions is all sorts of strange, from Daiyu’s entry to Beijing to Ningfu’s flower feast is only two or three chapters... When Daiyu entered Beijing, Baoyu was seven years old, and then it’s impossible to get together with Xiren I must be eleven or twelve years old, the five years in between seem to have been eaten...
