[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

Xue Pan has been in prison for almost a year.

At the beginning, the family brought in a lot of money, and the servants treated him like a young master in order to earn money from the Xue family. Gradually, the Xue family could no longer produce money. turned into mud on the ground.

Living in the worst cell, eating the worst food, being beaten and scolded at every turn, and being cold and hungry has become a common occurrence.

Afterwards, Jia Yucun took money to manage, and Xue Pan moved out of the worst cell and replaced it with an ordinary one. The food was no longer intentionally harsh, and he could get a share of everything the room gave him.

Hearing that he was able to go out, Xue Pan couldn't believe it. After confirming, he danced and danced in ecstasy for a long time.

Conditions in the prison are limited, and there is no need to think about taking a shower. Washing hands and face is still possible. The guards kindly reminded him to wash before leaving.

As long as they can step out of the prison door, it doesn't matter if it is dirty or smelly, so the group walked to Jia's house like this.

In the cold winter, Xue Pan stood outside the gate of Jia's house, looking like a beggar, with the cold wind blowing. Although his face was haggard and his body was in a state of embarrassment, his eyes were exceptionally bright.

Xue was anxious, and trotted all the way to the gate, she was stunned when she saw the beggar outside the gate, then stared several times before confirming that it was her son.

"Son!" Xue couldn't help feeling sad, and cried out.

"Mother, mother!" After suffering for so long, Xue Pan has long since lost his original overlord posture, and he shrinks back and forth. When he sees his mother crying, he also cries out.

Seeing this scene, the executives knew that they had not mistaken the person, so they hurried to help Xue Pan to enter the door, and said politely: "Master Xue, come in quickly, it's cold outside." At the same time, they gave Shuangfu winks.

Shuangfu immediately rewarded the servants with some broken silver, and the servants took the reward and left cheerfully.

"Son!"

"Mother!"

Xue Pan and Mrs. Xue, who entered the gate of Jia's house, hugged each other and wept. Mrs. Song walked away out of breath, and was moved by the scene of the mother and son's reunion. Hurry up and prepare a guest room for Young Master Xue. Yuxi, go fetch some water and prepare some grapefruit leaves, let Young Master Xue wash it well to get rid of bad luck."

There is a spare guest room in the front yard, and the servants often clean it. The executive is very agile and asks the servants to build a few more braziers and put them in. He is thinking that Master Xue has to take a bath. Seeing his hands are empty, he is afraid that he will not even change his clothes. nothing.

It's too late to buy now, so I have to pick out the batch of robes that my master said I don't want before, and give them to Young Master Xue to wear temporarily.

Xue Pan's hair hasn't been washed for more than half a year, and it's all tied into knots. He usually wears it loose. Before he was released from prison today, he specially picked a strong straw to tie his hair. After walking this way, the straw has long It was broken, but fortunately the hair was in a knot, and the straw that was broken in two was still hanging tenaciously in the hair.

He was wearing a special cotton robe sent by Mrs. Xue last month. Although it was of good quality, it couldn't keep him from living in a prison like a bad place day and night.

In less than a month, the robe has changed drastically, and the original color has long been lost.

His filthy hair was loose, and his body also gave off bursts of stench, which made Xue, who was crying with him, start to choke and hiccup.

Xue Pan thought his mother was too sad and hiccupped, so he patted Xue on the back and pinched his sleeve to help wipe away tears.

His sleeves were black, black and yellow, and he wiped Xue's face, mixed with hot tears, and immediately turned half of Xue's face into a cat.

Xue Pan was taken aback, and hurried to remedy it, using the back of his hand to wipe it. Unexpectedly, it became more and more dirty, and Xue Pan instantly changed from a cat to a stray cat on the street.

Xue Shi lowered her eyes, Xue Pan's long nails full of black and yellow dirt were close in front of her eyes.

She couldn't help but tilt her head to avoid Xue Pan's hand, and lightly beat her chest twice to suppress the urge to vomit. With a dirty face and red eyes, she smiled and said, "Seeing you Xu Quanwei came out of the prison, and my mother was very happy."

"The child is unfilial, and the mother and sister are worried!"

Xue Pan couldn't believe that he had just met his mother and made a small mishap. He blinked, made a quick decision, knelt down on the ground with a plop, hugged Xue's calf, and cried bitterly in repentance.

Holding back tears, Mrs. Xue stroked Xue Pan's back with a loving face: "It's good to come out, it's good to come out. From now on, you should be a good person, and don't mess with those bastards again."

"I'll listen to my mother. If I commit the crime again, my mother will just beat me with a big stick." Xue Pan didn't dare to remind her that his face was dirty, and he promised repeatedly while wiping away tears.

The old lady Song was very sad when she saw it, she sighed several times, and persuaded: "My wife, don't let Young Master Xue kneel in the yard, it's such a cold day, you don't have to freeze for good or bad, let's talk in the house."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xue quickly helped her son up, and the senior executives also extended their hands to help, and then led the way.

The guest room has been arranged long ago, and even the bath water has been prepared, the senior management respectfully asked Xue Pan to take a bath first, Xue Pan looked at Xue Shi and said, "Mother, son, go wash up first, and kowtow to you after he is clean. "

"Go quickly, you are not well-groomed now, don't pay attention to politeness, and it is serious to come out and kowtow to the old lady in a while."

Xue Pan nodded, took two steps, then turned around and said, "Mother, you wash up too, you just cried."

Xue's face was full of emotion: "Don't worry about me, you go quickly."

Shuangshou led Xue Pan to take a bath, and Mrs. Song hurriedly asked Yuxi to fetch another pot of hot water for Xue to wash her face.

……

Xiangling was doing needlework in the room, she couldn't believe what the little girl said for a while, but after asking twice, she finally believed her, dropped her things and ran towards the front yard.

She stumbled all the way, when she came over, Mrs. Xue had already washed her face and even drank two cups of tea.Xiangling's eyes were red, and she asked tremblingly, "Madam, I heard the little girl said that the young master is back?"

"Yes." Xue Shi nodded, beckoned her to come over, and then took Xiangling's hand, "We finally made it through."

Xiangling's legs went limp, she fell to the ground, lay on Xue's lap and started to cry, she cried a few times and then raised her head, looked around, and asked embarrassingly, "Where is the young master? Are you taking a bath?" I'll go in and wait on him."

"Sit down, there are servants waiting on you." Before Mrs. Xue could answer, Mrs. Song hurriedly said.

As soon as she heard that there was a servant inside, Xiangling had no choice but to sit obediently next to Mrs. Xue, wiping her tears of joy, and waiting patiently.

Bathing a beggar is a big project. After changing the water four times in a row, Xue Pan managed to clean himself up, cut his fingernails short, and cut some hair that couldn't get through.

Although he has lost weight, he is not as thin as Jia Yucun's, and his robe is a bit tight, but now he can only make do with it.

Xue Pan was dressed neatly. After coming out, he went straight to Mrs. Song, and obediently kowtowed three times.

"Thank you, old lady, for taking our family in. We will always remember your great kindness in our hearts."

"Get up, get up, we are all one family, don't say these outlandish words." Mrs. Song helped him up with her own hands, and looked at him with a smile.

Xue Pan walked up to Mrs. Xue again, and was about to kowtow, but Mrs. Xue supported her. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked up, "Don't kneel."

Xiangling has been staring at her man closely, the thin young master is more handsome than before he went to prison, which attracts her more and more, but the elders are all there, she dare not show it, so she can only hold back.

The old lady Song said with a chuckle: "The meal is made in the kitchen and it will be delivered soon. You and your family have a good chat, and I will go back first."

"Go slowly, old lady." Mrs. Xue got up to see her off, and then turned around and came back after sending her to the door.

"Xiang Ling."

"Master."

Only when Xue came in did she find that the young couple were already looking at each other with tears in their eyes. She coughed, and the two immediately let go of their holding hands.

The senior executive came in with the food box in person, and left after setting out the food. Xue Shi and Xiang Ling surrounded Xue Pan from left to right, and took turns picking up food for him.

Xue Pan hadn't eaten good food outside for a long time, and he ate up the food for two in one go.He wiped his mouth, and then remembered that he hadn't seen Baochai yet, and asked quickly, "Mother, where is my sister?"

Xiangling poured a cup of hot tea, and Mrs. Xue took it, handed it to her son, and replied, "Baochai and my aunt went out for a wedding, and they won't be back until the afternoon. When she comes back to see you, I don't know how happy she is." .”

"Master Jia treats my younger sister well?" Xue Pan is also a man himself, so he is naturally aware of the bad nature of men. As a second wife, the younger sister will suffer a lot of grievances both openly and secretly.

"My uncle treats girls well, even Mrs. Fan can't compare to her." Without Mrs. Song, Xiangling became more lively.

Xue: "Xiangling and I planned to visit you tomorrow, but you came out early. Did my aunt do it secretly? A few days ago, Baochai gave me 1000 taels for your atonement. When these sons-in-law come back, I will hand over the money to him."

The last time he visited the prison, Mrs. Xue had already mentioned Baochai's capabilities, so Xue Pan was not surprised to hear that his sister was able to make money.

He replied honestly: "I don't know either. The guards suddenly told me this morning that I can go out."

Xue couldn't help thinking.

Xue Pan was not very smart, smiled embarrassingly, and said guiltily: "It's all because of my incompetence that I let my sister take on the burden of supporting the family. Mother, don't worry, I will be a good person in the future, and I will take care of you in the future. You have to take care of your younger sister and fulfill your responsibilities as a brother."

"You, it's better to do what you say." Xue was very happy when she was coaxed by these words, she pressed Xue Pan's forehead heavily, and felt sorry for her son who had suffered for almost a year, so she drove him to sleep for a while.

Xue Pan felt that he was in good spirits and was able to chat with his mother until his sister came home, but as soon as he lay down on the bed, he was overwhelmed by the brocade soft pillow, and fell asleep in a short time.

The author has something to say: Xiangling: Whether my young master is fat or thin, he is always the most handsome in my heart!
