Patriarch of the Red Chamber

Is it still a person?Not to mention anything else, as long as I still have a sister, I will definitely marry her to you. Unfortunately, brother, I only have one sister, and she has already married into the Ningguo Mansion.But I don't know what kind of woman you like?When I go back, my brother will find it for you. "

Liu Xianglian scratched her head and said, "I haven't thought about it, at least it has to be stunning."

As soon as Liu Xianglian mentioned the stunning beauty, Xue Pan thought of the third sister You at home.A real stunner in the world, Xue Pan smiled and said, "It's not my brother who is boasting, the sister-in-law married by my brother is worthy of the word "excellent beauty." Xue Pan suddenly thought of something, slapped his forehead and said: "Hey, look My memory! Your sister-in-law’s older sister is still in her boudoir. The second sister and your sister-in-law are from the same mother, like two flowers blooming from the same branch, which definitely meets your requirements! Our brothers are not destined for each other To be a brother-in-law?" Xue Pan laughed loudly.

But Liu Xianglian was puzzled and said: "My sister has a family, why hasn't my sister engaged yet? There must be some hidden secrets that even you don't know. I think it's better to forget it. Thank you Brother Pan for your kindness."

Seeing Liu Xianglian like this, Xue Pan couldn't say more, lest people look down upon her and say that the woman is chasing the man, and she will be blamed by Third Sister You when she goes back.So he took the conversation aside and talked about other things.

That Xue Pan had just returned to Beijing, and saw that the house was very lively.It turns out that the original uncle and aunt passed away, and his cousin Xue Biao took his cousin Bao Qin to seek refuge in Beijing.When Xue Pan's father was still there, he had not yet separated from Xue Biao's father, and had made a marriage contract between Bao Qin and Mei Hanlin's family.Xue Pan's father was well aware of the qualifications of his two children, and had high hopes for Baochai, so he used his connections to find him a place in the palace.Assigning Baoqin to Mei Hanlin's family is also considering that Mei Hanlin is a noble in the court.Even if this Baoqin can't help Baochai in the future, it will definitely not hinder her.At that time, Mei Hanlin saw that she was a descendant of Ziwei Sheren, and marrying Baoqin as his wife would not disgrace the lintel.However, after Xue's father passed away, Aunt Xue's ears were soft and she couldn't support the family business.Baochai entered the palace by mistake due to Xue Pan's lawsuit, and the entire Xue family was left with the status of an imperial merchant, and had to rely on the influence of Aunt Xue's natal relatives to live.

This is the case in the main family, and it is even more unbearable for the side branches who have separated from the family.When Xue Biao's father separated from the family, he got rich property passed down from his ancestors. There was no shortage of money, and he only took business as fun.He is quite comfortable traveling around the world, but everyone in the world regards studying and career as the top priority, and doing business is the last, so many people look down on businessmen.

That Mei Hanlin is no exception.If it was Baochai who was chosen at the beginning, it would be fine if she was the daughter of an imperial merchant, at least it still has the word "Huang" on it.But Bao Qin is just the daughter of an ordinary businessman, she would be laughed out of the door by her colleagues if she married her.So he wanted to regret the marriage.For many years, like amnesia, he refused to mention this matter again.

Now that Xue Biao saw his parents died, he went to Beijing to join his aunt. Another meaning was that he hoped to marry his younger sister with the help of his aunt.

When Aunt Xue saw that she was the only elder left in the entire Xue family, she had to go on this trip for Baoqin.But when she went to Mei Hanlin's residence, she was turned away, and the Mei family always avoided seeing her.Seeing this, Aunt Xue knew that the marriage could not be done, and returned home angrily.In the evening, I received 200 taels of silver and a letter of divorce from the Mei family.It turned out that Mei Hanlin was a cautious person. Seeing that the Jia family was in trouble, he was afraid of implicating himself, so he didn't even want to see him face to face, and wanted to secretly divorce.

Knowing this, Bao Qin was calm and composed, unlike ordinary women who cried and cried. She traveled all over the world with her father since she was a child, and she has extraordinary knowledge.So instead, he comforted everyone: "Don't feel sorry for me, everyone. Since he despises our family, it is a good thing to retire at this time. There is no need for the two of you to be tied together and torture each other for the rest of your life for fear of being criticized."

Seeing that what she said was reasonable, Aunt Xue said with tears: "My good boy, I have wronged you."

Hearing this letter, Xue Pan was so angry that he discussed with Liu Xianglian that night that he would break into Mei Hanlin's house at night to seek justice for his cousin.But Liu Xianglian persuaded: "Brother Pan, calm down first. If this kind of thing becomes a big deal, the woman will suffer more reputation damage. For the sake of my sister, it's better not to say anything."

Xue Pan said: "That's strange, what you said is similar to what my cousin said."

When Liu Xianglian heard that a woman was divorced for no reason, she didn't cry or make trouble, but instead persuaded her family members not to make trouble.As a result, he had a good impression and curiosity about Baoqin.

After Xue Pan returned to Beijing after doing business, he was in a hurry for many days, and he couldn't care less about entertaining and rewarding those old guys.At last this day was free, so Xue Pan prepared wine and food in the house, and invited all the guys who went to Jiangnan together that day, and of course Liu Xianglian was also invited.Naturally, Liu Xianglian was placed at the top, and Aunt Xue also came out to toast and express her gratitude to everyone.Seeing that Liu Xianglian was Xue Pan's savior, Aunt Xue treated her differently.

After drinking for three rounds, Liu Xianglian was slightly drunk, and felt anxious for a moment, so she found an excuse to slip out to relieve herself.Although Xue's house is not very big, it also has nine bends and eight bends, and Liu Xianglian lost her way.He didn't panic, he just lay down on the rock in the rockery and fell asleep, and passed the night like this.

Baoqin has a habit of getting up early every day to collect the dew on the bamboo leaves.This is what her father taught her to make tea with this dew, which is the most fragrant.Now at my aunt's mansion, I saw a clump of lush phoenix bamboos. I was so happy that I got up early every morning to collect dew.

Baoqin built a wooden ladder and stood on a high place to collect dew.I saw a man drilled out of the rocks in the rockery, his face turned pale with fright, and he almost fell to the ground.When Liu Xianglian saw it, she rushed over and stabilized the ladder.

Seeing that Liu Xianglian rescued her, Baoqin didn't look like a bad person, so she said, "Thank you very much. I have been here not long ago to seek refuge with my aunt. I wonder who you are?"

When Liu Xianglian saw Baoqin say this, she had already guessed her identity.Seeing that Baoqin was born with a fairy-like appearance, just like walking out of the painting of beauties, I couldn't help but be amazed.

Suddenly I saw Xue Pan looking for him: "Liu brother is here, so I can find it easily. Thanks to my mother, she thought it was a neglect yesterday, offended Liu brother, and left without saying hello! But put me in a hurry. Let's talk."

Liu Xianglian said embarrassedly: "I drank too much yesterday and fell asleep in this garden. I'm really sorry."

Xue Pan said: "Brother, I was negligent, so why do you have to apologize? Since I know you are not angry, I will do it, and I just happen to have something to ask you at this moment. That Zhang Dehui told me yesterday that he has found a property in the suburbs, Xiao Xiaoqiao Coincidentally, there are more than ten rooms, and what's even better is that there are two fertile fields behind. My mother means to ask Brother Liu to take a look, and if it matches, we will settle the matter today."

Liu Xianglian said: "Why should it be like this. Back then I was just doing it with a little effort."

Xue Pan said: "It's an easy job for you, but it's a life-saving grace for me. Besides, now that we have sworn brothers, we should take care of each other. Brother Liu, don't delay."

Liu Xianglian couldn't resist, so she had to go with Xue Pan.When I saw the house for a while, it was as Xue Pan described, all kinds of utensils were available, and the only thing missing was the owner.Xue Pan immediately handed over the silver to get the title deed and gave it to Liu Xianglian.

Liu Xianglian hesitated for a moment, then said to Xue Pan: "Since brother Pan is so considerate of me, why not do one more thing for my younger brother." Xue Pan hurriedly asked what was the matter.Liu Xianglian said: "Since your sister has been divorced by the Mei family, why don't you marry me. My brother will never humiliate her and protect her throughout my life."

When Xue Pan heard this, it was exactly what he wanted.But after all, it was his cousin's life, he didn't dare to be good at it, he had to reply to Aunt Xue who asked Baoqin about his own wishes.

Then Liu Xianglian took out his mandarin duck sword, took off the female sword, and handed it to Xue Pan: "This is the sword handed down from my Liu family ancestors. It is divided into male and female. Now I give the female sword to your sister as a wedding gift , if she is willing, please ask Brother Pan to hand it over to her for safekeeping; if not, Brother Pan can still take it back to me. This way you can know Lingmei's intentions and avoid embarrassment, wouldn't it be both good?"

Xue Pan laughed and said, "This method is wonderful."

Xue Pan immediately went back and reported the matter to his mother.Aunt Xue is worried about being dismissed by the Mei family because of Baoqin.Seeing Liu Xianglian asking for marriage, I couldn't make up my mind.Liu Xianglian is an outstanding character, and she is Xue Pan's savior, so they are close relatives.But he is not good at living, he has no name as a son of a family, and he has no family background at all. Wouldn't it be a crime for Bao Qin to marry him?

So he called Baoqin to tell her the whole matter, and let her make a decision by herself.Baoqin knew that he was the man he met in the garden that day, and he had a chivalrous heart, so she was willing in her heart.Even if Liu Xianglian's family is poor, the most important thing Xue's family lacks is money, but a few liang of help is enough.So he accepted the Yuanyang sword and waited for the marriage with peace of mind.

It is exactly: not by the plum blossom but by the willow, the marriage of thousands of miles is linked by a thread.

☆、Hedong Lion vs. Zhongshan Wolf

Last time, under the discipline of Third Sister You, Xue Pan cured a lot of his old bad habits, and was able to manage the shop slowly.I am so happy that Aunt Xue praised this daughter-in-law whenever she met.

One day, Aunt Xue ran into Mrs. Xia and started talking.It turns out that the Xue family and the Xia family are both imperial merchants, the Xue family is in charge of buying clothes for the people in the palace, while the Xia family is in charge of the flowers and bonsai for the four seasons.This Xia family is especially famous for its sweet-scented osmanthus. The tens of acres of sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the suburbs of Beijing belong to her family.Aunt Xue and this Aunt Xia used to be the closest to each other. In addition to the fact that the two families are equal in strength, what is more important is that both of them are widowed mothers. They raised their children alone, and the two of them complained to each other, which is incomprehensible to outsiders.

"Let me tell you, the most important thing in choosing a daughter-in-law is not how much money someone has, but character is the most important thing. Now I finally understand this truth. I didn't agree with it back then, and I just wanted to find a daughter-in-law who is of the right family. Thank you That kid just took a fancy to this daughter-in-law, and made trouble with me every day, and I agreed to it only if there was no other way." Aunt Xue said with a smile.

"We know that this is the fate set by the heavens. If we say that the family is right, our two families are the most equal. I used to think about giving our Jingui to your family, but now you are lucky. You have a good wife. My son-in-law is also I don't know where to find it." Aunt Xia said.

"That's not it. I also had this thought back then, but the children were young and I didn't say it out loud. Don't worry now. There is an old man under the moon in the sky who is in charge of this marriage. The two of them People with red threads tied to their feet will eventually walk together, your girl, fate may be right in front of you." Aunt Xue comforted.

Aunt Xia smiled, but didn't answer.After the two parted, Aunt Xia went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get the official money, but she did not expect to meet someone.Do you know who this person is?It turned out to be Sun Shaozu who was mentioned last time.This Sun Shaozu served as a counselor in the Ministry of War, but because he swore to his brother to work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to walk around when he was free.Sun Shaozu saw that Aunt Xia received an astonishing amount of official money, and he didn't know where it was sacred, so he was curious, so he asked the sworn brother about it, and the sworn brother told Sun Shaozu everything he knew like a show off.

This Sun Shaozu couldn't help using his brains, since he got the title of counselor, he didn't look down on those people he used to interact with, and he wanted to marry a lady from an official family, so he focused on making friends with wealthy nobles.But that wealthy family also thinks that his foundation is superficial, how can he be willing to give away his daughter so easily.So until now, Sun Shaozu understood in his heart.Seeing this Aunt Xia now, although she is not an official, she is an imperial merchant, if this relationship is used well, won't it be of great benefit to my future to build a relationship with the palace in the future?Besides, the Xia family has only one widowed mother and one daughter. If she marries her, won't all the property of the Xia family be his in the future?

So Sun Shaozu called the official media to come to ask for marriage.Aunt Xia saw that this Sun Shaozu was very handsome, but he was a little older, and overall he was very satisfied.Her daughter, Xia Jingui, heard that the matchmaker praised Sun Shaozu as the best in the world, and she had secretly promised her that she would just wait for her to marry and live a good life.

The two parties hit it off immediately, chose a good day and auspicious day, and got married with gongs and drums.On the wedding night, when a couple met for the first time, Xia Jingui was shy and submissive, bright and charming.That grandson, Shaozu, has sword eyebrows and star eyes, and has a strong figure.Both of them were satisfied in their hearts, and they were lingering and tired all night, and there was nothing else to say.

On the second day, Xia Jingui didn't wake up until the sun was shining because he was too late the previous day.Grandmother waited left and right, but she couldn't help being annoyed when she didn't see her daughter-in-law coming to offer tea.After seeing Xia Jingui, she kept complaining non-stop. Xia Jingui used to be at home, and her mother was always obedient to her. Where did she suffer from such grievances?When Sun Shaozu came back, Xia Jingui told him about his grievances.Unexpectedly, Sun Shaozu came over from his grandma, who had already told her son what had happened.Then Sun Shaozu became angry, and said to Xia Jingui: "Since you have married into my Sun's family, you have to follow our family's rules. Which family's daughter-in-law will contradict your mother-in-law, I have seen your Xia family's good tutor!"

Xia Jingui didn't say anything else, but when she heard Sun Shaozu complain about her natal family, she immediately became angry, grabbed his ear and said, "If it wasn't for you, how could I not get up in the morning? Now there is such a thing involved." I don’t like the words of the big car, so I’ll take it back to my mother’s house now before the dowry heats up!” Sun Shaozu softened when he heard this, and quickly apologized with a smile: “My lady, calm down. Mother is also following the rules. Do business. Since you are not feeling well, I will go and tell her that in the future, the family will live a life without any rules that can be avoided, so as to save life." Jingui then turned his anger into joy, nodded and said: "That makes sense."

Xia Jingui saw that Sun Shaozu was very affectionate towards her at this time, so she deliberately took this opportunity to subdue the Sun family and establish the prestige of the head grandmother.It must not be so weak that people ride on their necks.She saw that before Sun Shaozu got married, he had taken in two beautiful house maids in his room. "How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch", she will never tolerate it.So she acted like a spoiled child in front of Sun Shaozu, and called the two girls over to serve him.Those two maids were only taken by Sun Shaozu on a whim.When Sun Shaozu failed, he beat and scolded them, which was miserable.Now seeing the headed grandma enter the door, she made her wish instead, thinking that the hard days are over.Unexpectedly, Xia Jingui took advantage of Sun Shaozu's absence to torture them in different ways.Not long after, the two girls died.Sun Shaozu didn't care too much, and Xia Jingui became more and more concerned.

It didn't take long for Xia Jingui to discover that it wasn't just those two girls who had an affair with Sun Shaozu. It seemed that all the modest girls and daughters-in-law in the family had an indescribable relationship with him.What's more, recently even Baochan, the dowry girl I brought along, flirts with my aunt.Xia Jingui was so angry that she beat Baochan and locked her in the firewood room.

Seeing this, Sun Shaozu got Baochan out and put him in his room.Shaking with anger, Xia Jingui stepped forward and tore Sun Shaozu's clothes: "You shameless thing, even my dowry girl touched the bed, have you never seen a woman in your previous life?"

Sun Shaozu pushed Xia Jingui: "You are a wife who is twisted out of vinegar juice. Which man is not three wives and four concubines. I can sleep whoever I want, can you control it? Can you beat you too? It's up to you." Not arrogant yet."

Seeing that Sun Shaozu dared to do something, Xia Jingui sat down on the ground, messed up the hairpin and clothes, and began to groan while hammering his chest: "You have taken my girl and beat her with your hands. You just want to kill me, okay?" Occupying my dowry. Ouch, ouch!" The grandma was alarmed for a moment, and the grandma was also a face-saving person. Seeing that her son was not making progress, she groped for the dowry girl, and the daughter-in-law was yelling again, afraid of shame.So he came in to smooth things over and got his son out.

Seeing the people leave, Xia Jingui got up from the ground, glared at Baochan fiercely and said, "You damn girl, you still haven't forgotten to seduce that gluttonous master after being locked up in the woodshed, I'll beat you to death, you bastard!" He said and hit with his hands.

Baochan hid and begged for mercy: "Grandma, please forgive me. I grew up with grandma, and I beg grandma to take care of me and forgive me once."

Xia Jingui was also tired from the fight, and remembering that there were not many of her own in the mansion, it might be useful to keep Baochan.Then he slowly calmed down, and ordered Baochan to say: "You go and ask the kitchen to kill two chickens for me, remove all the meat, and save the bones and burn them for me to serve with wine, and then take a pot to serve. Shaoxing rice wine here. Grandma, I am not happy today, and I want to drink some wine to have fun."

Baochan hurriedly went.The servants in the kitchen had already figured out Xia Jingui's temper, but they were still waiting for Grandma Xia to get angry. When she lost her temper, she would fry chicken bones, so the servants were happy to have a good meal of chicken.As the days went by, all the chefs looked rosy.

Sun Shaozu saw that Xia Jingui was making a mess at home, and he was even more reluctant to go home.The grandmother could only shake her head again and again, she really couldn't control the daughter-in-law, so she could only secretly regret that she shouldn't have married the Xia family for money.

Xia Jingui has nothing to do at home, either drinking and having fun, or cursing at the girl.Those girls dared not speak out, especially Baochan, because she had been with Jingui since she was a child and had seen Xia Jingui's methods, so she was afraid that she would follow in the footsteps of those two girls.She was terrified every day, and suddenly she figured out that if Xia Jingui died, the uncle would definitely accept her.Aunt Xia only has one daughter. If her daughter dies, she will have to rely on her son-in-law for a living. Maybe my uncle will support himself in order to make Aunt Xia feel at ease.

The more Baochan thought about it, the more she became more and more beautiful, so she bought the kitchen master and promised him a lot of benefits, so the master put a little meth in the oil for frying chicken bones.Baochan hurriedly sent the fried bones and rice wine to Xia Jingui's room, oiled the soles of her feet, and slipped away.

It's a good day when Sun Shaozu came back and saw Xia Jingui screaming and howling after being beaten by his subordinates again. Sun's mother was so angry that tears flowed down her face, and her blood surged up.

"I still have to punish you shrew today! Don't let anyone stop me!" Sun Shaozu said with red eyes.

"Come on! Hit it like this. It's not like you haven't hit it before." Seeing that Sun Shaozu was going to hit him, Jingui simply patted his chest and slapped him.There was only a bang, and Sun Shaozu hit Xia Jingui with his fist.Xia Jingui was spoiled and spoiled. She had never touched a finger of Mrs. Xia when she was at home, and was stunned by this fist.For a while, my head was buzzing.When she came to her senses, she threw herself madly at Sun Shaozu, tearing and biting: "Can you beat me? My old lady will die with you!"

Seeing that Xia Jingui dared to fight back, Sun Shaozu punched harder and harder, and after a while, Xia Jingui's nose was bruised and his face was swollen.Sun Shaozu's clothes were torn to pieces, and a piece of flesh on his arm was almost bitten off.But no matter how fierce Xia Jingui was, he was no match for Sun Shaozu in terms of strength.He was defeated for a while and fell to the ground.

Xia Jingui said out of breath, "If that's the case, why don't you die at all, take a knife and chop off this neck to finish it off."

Sun Shaozu said with red eyes, "Don't you think I dare?"

Xia Jingui said: "You should chop it up, if you don't chop it up, you're a bastard!"

That Sun Shaozu was already in a fit of anger, but being so provoked by Xia Jingui, he pulled out the saber he was carrying with him, and saw a flash of cold light, before Xia Jingui figured out what was going on, his head fell to the ground, rolling to the corner, the blood mixed with dust, look It looks very infiltrating.Sun Shaozu didn't take it seriously, and when he saw the wine and fried charred bones on the table, he began to eat and drink.

After drinking a pot of wine, he cursed at Xia Jingui's head: "You mother-in-law will enjoy it." Standing up, he went to grandma's room.He wobbled halfway, and suddenly felt unbearable pain in his stomach, and fell to the ground and rolled over.When Baochan saw this, she was taken aback and rushed to help her.All of a sudden, people came and carried him to the bed in a hurry, and grandma quickly ordered someone to invite the doctor.The doctor saw that Sun Shaozu's face was black and blue, and his lips were white. Was it poisoning or something?

The doctor tried his best to rescue him, but the poison was too deep and he was unable to recover.After being tortured for several days, Sun Shaozu finally died.Grandmother thought it was Xia Jingui who had poisoned her before she died, and cried loudly: "This poisonous woman! When you are alive, you disturb the family, and when you are dead, you will harm others! I only hope that you will go to the eighteenth level of hell and never recover. My Shaozu My son, you died a terrible death."

Aunt Xia also heard the news that her daughter was hacked to death by her son-in-law, and her son-in-law was poisoned to death by her daughter. Since they were all dead, she didn't know where to make trouble.Since I went to Sun's mansion to bring back my daughter's body, I didn't mention the funeral.From then on, the Xia and Sun families forged a deep-rooted hatred, and never communicated with each other until death.

When Aunt Xia was attending the funeral, Aunt Xue also went.After crying with Mrs. Xia for a while, she sighed: "Why is the Sun family so cruel-hearted? It didn't take long for the beautiful and delicate daughter to be sent to his house, and she ended up with a different head."

Aunt Xia said: "I only have this daughter, and now that she died unexpectedly, I don't want to live anymore. It's just that I don't know who to inherit the Xia family's property."

Aunt Xue said: "It's better to adopt a nephew from the Xia family."

Aunt Xia snorted and said, "Because my orphan and widow took care of the family business, I was so angry with those clansmen. Now I would rather hand it over to the palace than take advantage of them." Enviously, he said: "It's better to adopt Pan'er to me. It's a beautiful thing for our two families to become one family."

Aunt Xue only has such a son, so she is willing to do so.At this time, seeing that Mrs. Xia was sad, and she couldn't refuse, she had an idea, and thought of someone, I don't know who it is, please listen to the next chapter to explain.

☆、Because of the unicorn and the white first double star

It is said that since Rong Mansion ransacked the house, Mrs. Wang thought that she would be able to take the exam in the next spring, so she always wanted to hide it from Baoyu so that she could prepare for the exam with peace of mind.But how could Baoyu not hear some gossip? One day, Mrs. Wang sent an attacker to give Baoyu winter clothes. Baoyu pulled the attacker and asked, "Has anything happened at home?"

Xi Ren said: "It's nothing, the second master can study at ease."

Baoyu snorted coldly and said, "You tell me the truth as soon as possible. It will be much better. Don't you tell me that I will go out and find out?" It turned out that Baoyu was dissatisfied with the attacker because of the expulsion of Qingwen, but later learned that Lin Daiyu had died After finding Qingwen back, I felt relieved a lot, and most of my anger towards Xiren dissipated.

Xiren wept and said, "Second Master, don't force me, that's all, I say yes." Xiren wiped away his tears and said, "I don't know which bastard made a complaint in front of the Holy One that day, saying that we are big The young lady is not dead, but was secretly hidden in the mansion. The Holy Majesty Long Yan was furious, and sent someone to search, but of course nothing was found. The Holy Majesty said everything, since he ransacked the house, how could he admit that he made a mistake? Reason. At this moment, our house is still sealed! No one dares to offend Yan Jinshang at this moment."

Baoyu said angrily: "What kind of reasoning is this? Is the emperor right in everything? For an unwarranted reason, he ruined people's families—" Baoyu suddenly thought of something, and grabbed the attacker's collar in horror and asked, "Old man Where is the wife now? Master and wife?"

Xiren was so shaken that he couldn't breathe, and he said after a long while: "Second Master, don't get excited. Everyone is safe and sound. The old lady is now being picked up by Uncle Lin. Both the master and wife are in the Ning Mansion. Master Jing has arranged everything properly. , it’s no different from being in your own house.”

As soon as Baoyu heard that the old lady was in Lin's mansion, she stopped reading, left her attacker behind, and ran straight to Lin's mansion.Seeing the old lady for a while, the grandparents and grandchildren hugged each other and cried.

Baoyu said angrily: "The most ruthless emperor's family. Back then, my great-grandfather followed Gaozu to fight in the north and south, and made great contributions. My elder sister was in the palace for so many years, and she even saved the life of the emperor. But now, after hearing only one slander, It made our flesh and blood separated, and we couldn’t go back home. What is this? Thanks to you all persuading me to study hard so that I can serve the community in the future. But if the community is so dark, what do you want me to fill in?”

Jia's mother said: "My little ancestor, you can't say such things again. Your uncle Lin said that now that the emperor is angry, it's not good to give a strong remonstrance. It's better to wait for a while to persuade him, and he will definitely change his mind and move the mansion. Return it to us. Now that you are still young, fortunately, this incident did not involve you, so you should go back to the Gongyuan to study."

Baoyu said: "What kind of books does such an emperor still study? When he becomes an official in the future, if he says something wrong, he may be beheaded! It's serious for me to stay here with my ancestors."

Baoyu made a generous statement here, but he didn't expect to be heard by two people outside the door.It turned out that it was Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun who came in arm in arm. On Xiangyun's dress was a golden unicorn, which was small and exquisite.Shi Xiangyun moved his family because his uncle went to other provinces to take office.She knew that her aunt Jiamu was in the Lin's mansion, so she wrote a letter and sent it. It happened that Lin Daiyu always liked Xiangyun's children's disposition, and they were the most innocent, so she also begged Jia Min to send someone to the Shi's mansion. People pick it up.

As soon as Shi Xiangyun came in, he smiled and said to Baoyu: "I usually hear that the second elder brother of humanity is dumb, but today I have seen it. It is because of the disaster in your house that you should take up an official career. Haven't you heard a word 'towards the court'?" Is there anyone out there who can handle things?"

Baoyu frowned and said, "Sister Yun knows so much about economics and official careers. In the future, she must find a brother-in-law who knows how to make money. I won't bother you." When Baoyu said this, Lin Daiyu thought that Xiangyun is about to turn his face.But Xiangyun was still grinning: "You're such an adult, and you're still so ignorant when you talk." It turned out that Xiangyun and Baoyu grew up playing and fighting together, just like brothers and sisters, so Baoyu didn't care what bastards he said. , Xiangyun always doesn't mind.

Xiangyun is also suffering.Her father was originally the eldest son of the historian, and as a rule, he was going to inherit the family business.Unexpectedly, not long after giving birth to Xiangyun, the couple died when they went out once.The police have searched for many years but have not found any results.Leaving the infant Xiangyun in the care of her uncle and aunt, the position of marquis naturally became her uncle's.But how can uncles and aunts compare to their own parents, they are just caring for her face.Almost all the work at home has to be done by myself, and sometimes I do needlework until midnight.Fortunately, Xiangyun is born with a bold personality and never takes bad things to heart, otherwise he would have died of anger many times.

Xiangyun shook Daiyu's arm and said, "Sister Lin, you are making judgments, am I right?"

Lin Daiyu chuckled: "Everyone has their own aspirations. I don't think it's good for Baoyu to pursue an official career, and I don't think it's bad. A person's life is short. You should always follow your own heart and do what you like. Otherwise , No matter how good the road is, it will only feel like suffering.”

Xiangyun said: "Look at Sister Lin, what she said seems to be helping the second elder brother."

Lin Daiyu stepped forward and took Jiamu's hand, and said with a smile, "I don't have to help him. After all, men worry about career and finances. It's just that the old lady has lived in Narong Mansion for most of her life, and now she must be homesick. But don't worry, with my Lin family here for a day, I will be filial to the old lady, and won't let the old lady suffer any grievances."

Seeing that Lin Daiyu's words reached her heart, Jia's mother couldn't help but her eyes were red, her throat was choked, and she couldn't speak.Baoyu felt sad when she saw it, and Lin Daiyu's words woke her up a little bit.Among those descendants back then, the old lady loved him the most.Now that the family is in trouble, not only can I not help, but I also say so many stupid things to make the old lady worry, it is simply too unfilial.

Baoyu cupped his hands and said: "Old lady, please don't worry, my grandson will go back to the Gongyuan soon, and I will definitely live up to the old lady's expectations, and take the old lady home as soon as possible."

Mother Jia said with tears: "Okay, good boy. Go ahead, don't delay your homework. Remember not to say those words again. It's not a joke if it is heard by someone who cares."

Baoyu said goodbye and was about to leave, but he was reluctant to part with Daiyu. He watched Lin Daiyu's thousands of words come to his lips and couldn't speak.Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Go quickly, this trip must be the toad palace breaks the moon!"

"Sister Lin is very right, then I'm going to make a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine and wait for the second brother to come back to celebrate." Shi Xiangyun also booed, and the two laughed together.

Seeing that they were humiliating him together, Baoyu ran away smiling without saying a word.

As soon as Baoyu left Lin's mansion, he ran into someone head-on. It was Wei Ruolan, the grandson of the prince who used to play around with him.I saw that Wei Ruolan was riding a tall horse with a bow and arrow on his back, dressed as a martial artist.That Wei Ruolan recognized Baoyu, hurriedly dismounted and called Baoyu to stop, and began to talk.Wei Ruolan had heard about the Rong Mansion for a long time, but she was afraid of Baoyu's embarrassment, so both of them deliberately avoided this topic, and only asked each other how they were doing.

It turns out that the Wei family, the Jia family and the Shi family are all family friends, and now the Wei family has few heirs, only Wei Ruolan is the only direct descendant left.The whole family hopes that he can study and start a career, but Wei Ruolan is not interested in reading, only interested in riding and archery.His father had no choice but to let him take the path of martial arts.Right now, he's getting ready to practice in the paddock.

Baoyu saw the accessory tied around Wei Ruolan's waist at a glance, it turned out to be a golden unicorn.So he smiled and said, "It's a coincidence. I just met my eldest sister of the Shi family. She also has a unicorn like this, but it's a little smaller."

Wei Ruolan said: "Don't girls like decorations like flowers, birds, grass and insects? Your sister has a different taste."

Baoyu said: "That's not true. She is not only like this in accessories, but also likes to wear men's clothes. The most bold and unruly temperament."

Wei Ruolan said with a smile: "Your sister is interesting, unlike those sisters in my family who talk like mosquitoes all day long and can make people anxious to death."

Baoyu laughed and said, "Now is not the time for chatting. The general examination and martial arts examination are just around the corner. Why don't we wait for the examination and call Feng Ziying, Liu Xianglian and other good brothers to have a good gathering and have a few drinks?" cup."

Wei Ruolan said: "That's true. Brother Bao, let's leave now." Then he rode away hurriedly.

Now let’s talk about Aunt Xue, who wants to adopt Xue Pan because Aunt Xia lost her only daughter.How could Aunt Xue be willing to give it, so she gave Aunt Xia an idea.It turned out that there was a concubine named Xia Moli in the Xia family, and Baoqin's elder brother Xue Bian was outstanding in talent, appearance and character, and had no father or mother. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds for Mrs. Xia to recruit Xue Biao to be her son-in-law?So she called Xue Bian to meet her. When Aunt Xia saw Xue Bian, she was very satisfied with her talent and appearance, as expected.Xue Biao saw that it was Aunt Xue's idea, and that the only girl married well, so she had no other concerns in her heart and did not object.

How could the members of the Xia family be willing to come to make trouble every day, the patriarch said, "There are quite a few nephews in my Xia family, so you might not be able to pick out one who suits you? Do you want to recruit a son-in-law? After all, Jasmine is separated from you At the same level, the son-in-law may not be toward you in the future."

Aunt Xia sneered and said, "Since my ex-husband left this daughter for me to rely on, what should I do to choose the side branch? You don't need to worry about who my daughter and son-in-law will be with."

Seeing that she was determined, the patriarch had no choice but to let her go.Xue Biao has some business acumen because he traveled with his father in the early years.Now that she is at Xia's house, she is even more at ease. Seeing that he knows everything, Aunt Xia slowly entrusts him with some business.That Xue Biao is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness. He is grateful to Aunt Xia and Aunt Xue, and respects them like a mother.The relationship between Xue Xia's family became more and more close, and they actually controlled half of the royal family's comprador.

Unknowingly, the end of winter has passed, spring has come, and it is time for the three-year examination.Baoyu entered the examination room together with other candidates, while Jiamu, Mrs. Wang and others waited anxiously at home.I don't know whether Baoyu passed the exam. Please listen to the next chapter.
