[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

Xiang Ling and Xue Pan haven't fallen asleep yet.

Both of them had already washed, and they were only wearing their middle clothes. They were sitting on the inner bed and gossiping. When they heard Chun Yu coming in to report, Xiang Ling was about to go out in a hurry. Xue Pan grabbed her and took a coat and put it on her: " There is a cool breeze at night."

Xiangling pursed her lips and smiled, put on her coat, and then went out to meet people.

Mrs. Zhen stood outside and saw that her daughter came out with pearl hairpins off her head. She also knew that she had come at the wrong time, so she smiled embarrassedly: "It's okay, I just came to see that you have fallen asleep. No. Although it’s still hot, don’t use ice at night, you remember to put on a thin quilt to avoid catching cold. I’m going back to sleep too.”

With that said, she was about to leave.

In just a few days of getting along, Xiangling also understands her mother's temperament, she is not the kind of person who does things for no reason, and the smile on her mother's face is really not very good-looking, it always looks like a forced smile.

"Mother," Xiangling called to stop her, "I just washed up, and I can't sleep for a while, so why not just tell me if you have anything to do."

"Oh!" Mrs. Zhen didn't answer, but just sighed.

Xiangling asked again, and then Mrs. Zhen pulled her to sit on the couch, and said slowly: "... That's it, tell me, how dare she have such thoughts? It scared me to my wits, and I didn't know Who should I tell?"

Mrs. Zhen wiped her tears: "Wanrong was spoiled by her parents since she was a child, and her temper was twisted. If she likes it, she must get it. But this matter is not as simple as a flower or a piece of fabric. If there is a quarrel, How will you two get along in the future?"

Xiang Ling was really taken aback, this cousin really has a whimsical idea, she just fell in love with the young master a few days ago, but then she thought about the young master again?

"How unreasonable!" Xue Pan shouted angrily.

He was waiting quietly in the room, but when he heard Mrs. Zhen's sigh, he realized that something had happened, and impatiently redressed to go out to meet his mother-in-law, so he hid behind the curtain and eavesdropped.

Hearing this, he couldn't bear it any longer. Regardless of the fact that he was only wearing a jacket, he rushed out with a big stride, his face full of menace, and he rolled up his sleeves at the same time.

Xiangling and Mrs. Zhen were startled, and Mrs. Zhen hurriedly stopped her: "Wanrong is still young, I will try to persuade her, and we will be fine when we leave later."

Xiang Ling also persuaded: "What are you doing with your sleeves up? Do you still want to hit someone?"

"I won't hit her." Xue Pan smiled strangely, "I'll throw her out now."

"I can't, I can't." Xiangling was also in a hurry, standing in front of him with her belly out, "It's getting dark, she's a girl, isn't this forcing her to die? Calm down, let's discuss it again. "

Xue Pan sneered: "What are you discussing? I think she is a leech in the field. Seeing one sucking another, I feel ashamed to have such shameless relatives."

This made Xiangling's mother and daughter look embarrassing, especially Mrs. Zhen, her face was flushed, she was looking for cracks in the ground with her head down, wishing she could get in and hide.

Xue Pan got angry and said to Mrs. Zhen: "Mother-in-law, I'm not talking about you, you should be smarter. There is a biological daughter who doesn't seek refuge, and insists on messing with the uncle's family. Speaking of filial piety, Who can compare to Xiangling? You have seen the conditions of my family. Although it is not rich and powerful, it is still possible to support you. My mother and I sincerely keep you here. When Xiangling gives birth to a child, we will have one more Helper. My mother has to take care of my sister from time to time, so it's just right for you to stay and watch Xiangling more."

"Mother-in-law, now that we have finished talking, let me ask you one last time, do you want to stay? Anyway, I must send Wanrong away tomorrow."

When Xue Pan gave the ultimatum, Mrs. Zhen felt embarrassed and flustered, unable to make up her mind.

With tears in her eyes, Xiangling looked at her: "Mother, stay here. Now that it's done like this, your uncle and aunt will definitely blame you when you go back."

"It's not good, it's not good." Mrs. Zhen shook her head subconsciously, "After all, he's my elder brother, so there's no such thing as an overnight feud between siblings, and it's also for the sake of looking good when I go home."

"Hi!" Xue Pan became anxious, and found that his mother-in-law was more brain-twisted than Wanrong, "Mother-in-law, don't blame me for talking bluntly, you would rather go back and serve the big family like a mother-in-law than stay behind We give you a pension, are you dissatisfied with me? Tell me, I'll change it."

After finishing speaking, he muttered to Xiangling again: "This is really my aunt and nephew, with exactly the same temperament, even ten people can't untie it."

Xiang Ling's face turned red immediately, and she wanted to defend her mother, but she didn't have the habit or courage to contradict Xue Pan, so she could only stand there in embarrassment.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhen felt very sorry for her daughter, and she was also stimulated by Xue Pan's words that she and Wanrong were very temperamental, so she couldn't help thinking carefully, could it be that my decision was really wrong?

"Son-in-law, I'm not dissatisfied with you. It's a blessing for Xiangling to meet you. I just..." Mrs. Zhen gritted her teeth and expressed the deepest worry in her heart, "I will only hold you back if I stay , I don't have any skills, and I don't have any money, with a mother like me who is down and out, Xiangling has no face, and she can't stand up in this family."

"I thought it was the reason, it turned out to be this." Xue Pan thought it was funny, "Mother-in-law, even if you don't stay, don't everyone know that Xiangling's natal family has no money and power? If you really can't think about it, How about assuming that I hired an extra woman to take care of Xiangling?"

Xiangling looked at her mother with tears in her eyes: "Mother, don't leave, I'm afraid when the baby is born..."

A woman's childbirth is like breaking into hell. There are many women who died due to dystocia in this world, and some of them died twice. Mrs. Zhen was shaken. Coupled with Xue Pan's words, she deeply realized that To what I should have stayed.

Serving one's own daughter is better than serving the eldest brother's family.

"Okay, I'm not leaving. Don't be afraid, Mother will be with you then." Mrs. Zhen held Xiangling's hand, her voice choked up.

Xiangling was very happy, and Xue Pan wiped sweat on his forehead, which can be regarded as persuading his mother-in-law.

Just after wiping off his sweat, he recalled that Wanrong's troublemaker hadn't been solved yet, Xue Pan was about to go out after straightening his sleeves, Xiangling recovered from his joy, and grabbed his sleeve: "What else are you going to do?"

"Don't worry, I won't throw people out of the door at this time. I will inform the girl and pack her luggage immediately. I will go to the car dealership at dawn tomorrow."

Xiangling looked at him pleadingly: "It's midnight, if she quarreled, wouldn't she disturb her mother-in-law? Let's talk about it tomorrow morning. It's easy to find a car and horse, but who will accompany her back? She can't go on the road alone."

Mrs. Zhen also begged: "Good son-in-law, for my sake, you must find two suitable people to send Wanrong back, and hand it over to the eldest brother in its entirety, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

Xue Pan took a step back and promised to talk about it tomorrow. He thought for a while and said: "There are not many servants in the family. Take a young servant from my side, and pick out a stable girl from your mother, so there will be two. If you are still worried, I will go to my brother-in-law tomorrow and ask him to choose a few smart ones to send her back together."

Mrs. Zhen hesitated: "It would be better to bother Mrs. Jia, why don't I accompany her for a walk? I'll come back after I send her home."

Xiangling didn't want her mother to run around like this, and kept looking at Xue Pan with pitiful little eyes, Xue Pan smiled: "Mother-in-law, you still make such a fuss at an old age, this road is not close, and the one-way journey costs at least twenty. Tomorrow. That’s my brother-in-law, this is a serious matter, it’s okay to ask him for help.”

So, Mrs. Zhen didn't say any more, and the matter was discussed and settled like this.

On the next day, just as Wanrong woke up, a girl came in and said that she would pack her luggage for her.Wanrong was taken aback, stopped the girl from doing anything, and hurried to ask her aunt.

Mrs. Zhen first tried to persuade her with nice words, but Wanrong didn't listen at all. When she got angry, she yelled at Mrs. Zhen as a white-eyed wolf. Mrs. Dezhen couldn't even lift her head.

Xiangling was so angry that her body was trembling, but it was a pity that she didn't know how to swear, and she couldn't even answer half a sentence, but she was so angry that she blushed and her neck was thick.

At the time of Guan Jian, it was Xue Pan who stood up and looked down at Wan Rong with a fierce look on his face: "So what if you don't recognize you? Isn't it enough that you have been ordering your mother-in-law for so many years? Where are your mother-in-law's original houses and fields?" ? Don’t say you don’t know. Where did the gifts and silver that I sent people go? With so many things, let alone raising my mother-in-law, I can support twenty of them.”

These words made Wanrong speechless, her eyes rolled, and she was about to run out: "You are all bad people, unreasonable, I will talk to my second cousin, the second cousin is the official wife, she should support me Fair."

Xiangling hurriedly said: "Stop her!"

Xue Pan was tall and had long legs, and stood in front of Wanrong with a few strides. He looked Wanrong up and down with the eyes of picking goods, and said with a sneer: "At this time, you still want to be a demon! Who gave it to you?" Your self-confidence, my brother-in-law will take a fancy to you? Are you as beautiful as my sister? Or do you know how to earn money, play the piano, read, and draw?"

Xue Pan has never been able to speak in his head, he can say whatever he has, and he hates Wanrong, so he only stabs at the painful spot without any guilt.

"I, I'm young!" Wanrong said shyly, angrily, poking her neck.

"Young?" Xue Pan laughed loudly, as if he had heard the funniest joke, "Qin'er and Hua'er in my mother's yard are even younger, they are only 11 years old this year. Girls like you, I It's really unheard of, why are you rushing to be a concubine to scold me?"

Wan Rong burst into tears, covered her face and ran back to her room.

There was such a quarrel in the East Chamber, some girl quietly went to report to Mrs. Xue.

After listening to the cause and effect, Mrs. Xue pondered: "At this time, the autumn is high and fresh, and we are on our way. We can't let her stay at our house for the New Year. It seems that we are going to snatch other people's daughters. Go tell the young lady and ask her to prepare a big gift. Give Wanrong a generous gift."

Wanrong was crying, but her arms couldn't twist her thighs. Xue Pan was in a hurry to send her away, and she didn't want to take advantage of the cheap life. He spent a lot of money to stuff her into a caravan going south to accompany her on the road, and there were two people sent by Jia Yucun. A servant and two women sent Wanrong away without stopping.
