The Weight of the Red Mansion Walks the Road of Life

Chapter 44

There is actually nothing to say about the Hundred Days Banquet. After all, in the current situation where the Xue family cannot entertain guests, the so-called Hundred Days Banquet cannot really be held. It is just a so-called name. Ordinary days are no different.

The only difference is probably that the sister has officially entered the family tree and finally has her own serious name.

It's called Daiyu...

Aunt Xue is also a daughter of the Wang family who has never read a book, so the reason for this name is not poetic, but because the wife of the second room just happened to praise Aunt Xue who is said to be a bit out of tune after giving birth. , a pair of good-looking eyebrows, as if painted with snails...

In addition, Aunt Xue just received a letter from Mrs. Wang, which happened to mention Baoyu...

So the name came out as a matter of course.

The so-called hundred-day banquet this time is actually nothing more than having the small kitchen prepare a little more generous vegetarian noodles. The mother and son invited the second wife and brother to sit and eat together at home, and at most it was another meal. It's just a month's money rewarded to the servants in the mansion.

In fact, it is no different from normal days.

The second bedroom master of the Xue family is the younger brother of Xue Pan's father, and the two brothers have always gotten along well.If Xue Pan's father hadn't passed away, the Second House Master happened to be out on business, and he couldn't get the news and rushed back to Jinling. If there was a Second Household person to help, Aunt Xue wouldn't have been forced into such a situation.And now, although the first wife of Xue's family is still in the period of filial piety, the wife of the second bedroom still doesn't shy away from running into the first bedroom, even if it's just to chat with Aunt Xue.

Moreover, the master of the second room is willing to serve his elder brother as a filial piety for a year, so he happens to be staying in Jinling, and it is said that he will have to stay for another five or six months.During this period, in addition to Erfang’s own property, he also did not forget to help the Dafang’s affairs in his spare time, and even taught Xue Pan some things that could be used in business, without taking the opportunity at all. the meaning of.

Therefore, when the elder sister of Dafang was full moon, Aunt Xue sent the news to the second wife in advance after all, and did not invite her formally to come to the mansion for a small gathering when the day came.

Although Xue's residence is still in the period of filial piety, it has passed the hot filial piety after all. Even if it is still not suitable to invite people to the residence by posting, it is okay if there are guests.What's more, the second wife is also a relative of the Xue family, so there is no need to shy away from it even in the filial piety period.

Because men and women have other relationships after all, and Xue Pan is now determined to work hard, so after returning to Jinling this time, the second wife did not see Xue Pan very much during the only few visits, at most It's just that he knows that her husband is now interested in teaching Xue Pan about business matters.

According to common sense, since Xue Pan's father passed away and the family lost the head of the family, the Xue family's big house will definitely decline within at least ten years.Especially for outsiders, the second wife knows exactly what kind of temperament Xue Pan is, and it may not be more than ten years since the downfall of Dafang.But even so, she still stays with Dafang as usual, and she doesn't shy away from going to Aunt Xue's house during the filial piety. One reason is that their family actually has to keep filial piety for Xue Pan's father. There are also a little less taboos, secondly, the relationship between her husband and his elder brother has always been excellent, and she was also told to take care of the eldest room more, so she naturally has to obey her husband's order, and thirdly, it may not be because she is watching For the sake of Aunt Xue's strong background, she didn't want or want to offend the Wang family and the Jia family.

But to be honest, since she came back, she has never met Xue Pan, and even because she is afraid of Dafang and the person she is close to is only Aunt Xue, and she doesn't pay enough attention to Xue Pan. , so her impression of Xue Pan is actually still on the appearance of the brat a year or two ago.

Although Xue Pan was younger at that time, he was five years old after all. According to the so-called three-year-old view, the second wife did not think that Xue Pan would really change much.

So this time in vain, when she met Xue Pan, who was polite and hard-working, the second wife felt that she was really surprised. Mature.

Although the second wife and Aunt Xue have their own selfishness in their friendship, Aunt Xue is also a good-natured person, at least there is always some sincerity between the two of them getting along a lot.What's more, the eighth house of the Xue family is all prosperous and the other is damaged. Under the circumstances that it does not intend to and cannot replace it, the heir of the eldest house or the young head of the family who has already inherited the position has become sensible and responsible. After all, it's a good thing.

Although Aunt Xue may not fully understand the second wife's careful thinking, she has been married into Xue's family for some years, and she can always do the simplest observation.So at this moment, seeing his siblings becoming more sensible after seeing Pan'er, although it is still difficult to hide the surprise, after all, after a little accident, they still look more relieved, and they are satisfied from the bottom of their hearts.

——In the final analysis, Aunt Xue really can't believe that her uncle is completely selfless after experiencing other forced palace situations, but at least judging from the performance of the second bedroom master and the second wife's current expression, she still knows After all, the second room didn't have any bad intentions.

That's enough.

----split line----

Probably the blood suitable for doing business flows from the Xue family's bones.

Although Aunt Xue, as the daughter of the royal family, is actually quite talented in the role of housekeeper and director, she is actually very ignorant of outside business matters, and her means can only deal with those in her dowry at best. It's just the property, if she is really allowed to take care of the huge property of the Xue family, at best, she can barely guarantee that she won't lose too much.

Aunt Xue is already 30 years old, but that's all.However, as a child under the age of ten, Xue Pan is still unable to fully control all the properties of the Xue family, but after more than two years of study, he can at least guarantee that he will not lose money when he uses a few shops to practice. You can also earn a little bit.

When Aunt Xue watched coldly that the loyalty of the old storekeepers was still worthy of protection, she simply did not care about the outside affairs, and only made a name for herself when Xue Pan was not fully grown up. On the surface, it was just a general outline, but secretly handed over the Xue family's stall directly to Xue Pan, and he raised his little daughter in the mansion with peace of mind.

Different from Xue Pan's mischievousness when he was young, the sister of the Xue family is actually a rather worry-free child. As the sister grows up from a milk dumpling bit by bit, apart from the fact that her bones are really distressing, almost Can't fault anything else.

As for the problem of the body and bones, there is really no other way for the problem of insufficiency in the womb except to instruct the doctor to take care of it carefully.But fortunately, the Xue family is not short of money. The nourishing and precious medicinal materials that my sister needs to support her body are not worth anything in the eyes of the Xue family. It doesn't taste good and I always take medicine to treat it obediently.

Therefore, although my sister is still as delicate as ever, I am not worried about being sick. Even though the effect is weaker, my sister's body is still slowly improving, which makes the family feel a little more at ease.

"It's better to be like a younger sister. I heard from the shopkeeper in Yangzhou the other day. It is said that the aunt who is touring Yushi Lin's family, that is, my uncle's family, also got a sister. She is a little older than my sister. I usually look at it. It is still healthy, but there are some symptoms of trance. A couple of monks and Taoists went to the Lin family a few days ago and said that it was the sister of the Lin family. For some reason, they gave a pack of medicine primers and said that they had to take a bunch of flowers. Rui and what are the rainwater on the day of the rain, and the dew on the day of Bailu? Those are the real headaches." Now that the Xue family has become a filial piety, Xue Pan is still playful, but only Looking at the mother and the soft little girl at home, I can always force myself to work hard for a while, so most of the time during the day is spent in the shop, so I can get a lot of new news. The news of the mother and sister at home is well-informed.

In this day and age, there are few newspapers and TV networks, and the so-called news is only passed on from word to mouth. If there is anyone who is the most well-informed, it is just a businessman.The Xue family's business is well connected to the north and the south, so the news is naturally better than other families, so they are not stingy to share the news with the family when they get it.

Aunt Xue actually knew that her family was well-informed, but even so, she was also very skeptical about the news from Xue Pan's mouth-not that she suspected that her son could talk about such things, but at most she suspected that her son was being abused by others. Coaxed, got fake news.

"The health of this girl's family has always been the most important thing. The affairs of the girl in this big family are not so easy to spread to the outside. Although I don't know the rules of the Lin family, Mrs. Lin was originally in the boudoir. We also know each other, so there is no chance of such mistakes." Although Aunt Xue, as the daughter of the royal family, may not be very close to Jia Min, who has a different style of painting, at least she does not have any doubts about Jia Min's upbringing, and she does not feel that Jia Min Min would not understand these things.

"It's not that people from the Lin family spread gossip, it's because the prescription is really weird, and the Lin family couldn't get it all together for a while, so they sent a letter to our family, asking our family to help see if we can get the medicinal ingredients together "Although the Lin family is also not short of money and medicinal materials, no one will store up these flowers, rain, snow, frost and dew in advance.Although the Lin family came from an official family, after all, more power is still in the Jiangnan generation. It is no better than the Xue family as a merchant. After all, the business power is all over the country, and the probability of being able to get things together is greater.

In addition, Xue's family was not very familiar with Lin's family because they belonged to the four major families of Jinling with Jia's family, but they still had some friendships that could be talked about, so they just passed the letter over.

The author has something to say:

I still feel that Daiyu’s name popped up when I was writing about Xue’s family, it’s a bit strange... So if possible, try not to mention the name...
