Xue Baochai, the belly of the Red Chamber

It was already the third watch of the month.

Xue Xuan stood in the yard. Although the house was in a mess during this period of time, Xue Xuan became more energetic because of this. Still looking bright, he said, "Madam, how is it today? But you still don't want to see your father? This is not the way to go. After all, my wife and my father are husband and wife, so there is no obstacle to overcome!"

"I'm really worried about Mr. Lao. It's already late at night, why don't you please go back and rest quickly?" It was Mrs. Xue Wu's housewife who answered. Although the words were polite, the expression on her face was It's half a smile.

Xue Hui was in a good mood, and he wasn't unhappy about her behavior. He just said, "In that case, I'll take my leave here first. Please take care of yourself, my wife. I'll come back to see your wife tomorrow." Then he turned and left.

Seeing the back of Xue Hui leaving, the accompanying housewife couldn't help spitting, and cursed in a low voice: "It's just a concubine born of a lowly maidservant, who dares to show off his power once he gains power. I really don't know what it means."

Although Xue Hui who left just now is said to be the eldest son of the family and the first son of Mr. Xue Wu, he is not the son of Mrs. Xue Wu.Although Mr. Xue Wu is not as fond of beauty as Mr. Xue Si, he still has two concubines in his family. Mrs. Xue Wu has not given birth for three years since she started.Due to the majesty of the old lady who was still there at that time, she gave her aunt a soup to avoid children, and one of them soon became pregnant and gave birth to Master Xue Wu's eldest son.The current uncle of the family, Xue Hui.

Therefore, although Xue Hui is said to be the eldest son of the family, he is not the eldest son of the concubine but the eldest son of the concubine.

Two years after Xue Zhen was born, another aunt gave birth to the second master Xue Zhen, and it took another two years for Mrs. Xue Wu to give birth to the third master Xue Qiu.Therefore, the third master is the only legitimate son in the family, and also the only child of his wife.He has been smart since he was a child, and has a great talent for reading. His wife has always looked at him like an eyeball.

But just went to Hualou, and was beaten to death.

It's good for the master, not to mention comforting his wife, bringing the murderer to justice, but he didn't know what agreement he had reached with the fourth master.The damn Zhen family was released after being beaten dozens of times.How could my wife be willing, and I made a big fuss about it, but it was of no use.The master has made up his mind.The wife fell ill in a panic.

The uncle, who has always been restless, dares to step on it at this time.

Bah, don't take a mirror to look at him, what the hell is he.

"Did someone come just now?" The housekeeper picked up the curtain and returned to the room, only to hear Mrs. Xue Wu, who was lying on the bed, half-sitting up, asking softly.

The housekeeper walked over and put a cushion behind the fifth wife, and said, "It's the uncle. He said he wanted to come over to see the wife, but I have already sent him back."

Although the housekeeper said so, how could the fifth wife not know that he was coming to see a joke.Immediately he sneered and said, "It's just that the master let go of his mouth a little and let him help the family for two days. He actually became arrogant. I really don't know the heights of heaven and earth."

"Who says it's not! A bastard born from a concubine thought he would be able to..." Seeing the expression on the fifth wife's face, he knew that he had said something wrong, so he slapped himself twice and said: "Forgive me, Ma'am, it's the servant girl who said something wrong."

When Mrs. Xue Wu thought of Xue Qiu who had died for no reason some time ago, her heart ached, her eyes felt hot, and tears were about to fall.Her Qiu'er, the most proud child in her life, and the one she had relied on for the rest of her life, had disappeared in such an unexplained manner.I hate that master, Qiu'er is dead, he doesn't want to help him avenge, and he still gets involved with the enemy.

It's damn good!

"Madam..." Seeing Mrs. Fifth's complexion changing again and again, the housewife seemed to be crazy, and now she realized what she was doing, and shouted softly.

When Mrs. Xue Wu heard the voice of the housekeeper, she slowly calmed down: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Everything in this house can only belong to her son.Although her Qiu'er is gone, no one can touch what belongs to him.

I don't know if it was because the weather was so good some time ago, in the next few days, it was raining lightly in Jinling City.Although the rain was not heavy, the misty and rainy appearance made Jinling City a little more beautiful.It's just that the temperature dropped suddenly, which made many people who had already put on light summer clothes feel unbearable.Many people suffer from wind-cold symptoms.

Not to mention that several maids in Xue Baochai's yard have suffered from this disease.Even as strong as Xue Pan, because of a momentary inattention, he fell into the Tao.Now lying on the bed sickly, although there is nothing serious, but the nose is blocked, which is really uncomfortable.

On this day, Xue Baochai came back from visiting Xue Pan in Pinshuyuan.When he reached the corridor, he stopped.

Turning his head, he looked at the scenery in the yard with great interest. It was already mid-April, and the peach blossoms had already passed their peak flowering period and began to wither gradually.However, the peach blossoms that are in full bloom now look more and more beautiful after being soaked in the rain, and it is more exciting to look at than when they are in full bloom.

Seeing Xue Baochai staying here, Yun Juan didn't move for a long time, a gust of cold wind blew over, making the girl behind him shiver.

Xue Baochai also shivered because he didn't check.

"Girl, it's cold here, let's go back to the house quickly. It won't be beautiful if you get a cold too." Yun Juan took a step forward slightly, and said in a worried tone.

Although Xue Baochai wanted to appreciate it, but another gust of cold wind blew her away.Nodding his head, he also walked away.

When he got to the house, he took off his coir raincoat and hat, and Yun Shu brought over the hot ginger tea that he had already prepared.Although he didn't like the ginger flavor in the ginger tea, Xue Baochai frowned and drank it for his own health.Yun Juan and Yun Shu, who were serving Xue Baochai closely, obviously also knew about this.After serving Xue Baochai to wash up, he brought a plate of pickled sweet and sour apricots to him.

Xue Baochai ate two, and felt that the taste of ginger in his mouth was completely gone, that's all.

"Miss, Danxin is here." Xue Baochai just finished his work and wanted to rest on the bed for a while, when he saw Yunjuan blessed his body, he said so.

Xue Baochai said, "Let him in."

Dan Xin stopped three feet away from Xue Baochai, knelt down on one knee, and said, "This subordinate has seen the master."

"Okay, let's get up and answer. I asked you to handle the matter, but it has already been settled?" Xue Baochai asked directly because she knew what Dan Xin was here for at this time, so she didn't say anything nonsense.

Although Dan Xin tried his best to control his expression, his sparkling eyes still betrayed his mood at this time, and his voice also showed three points: "If you return to the master, the subordinate is lucky. "

Seeing him like this, Xue Baochai didn't understand.Here Dan Xin is afraid that he not only fulfilled her orders, but also that he himself may have done something else.But for Xue Baochai, as long as he doesn't disturb his plan, just let him go.Anyway, Danxin still has a sense of proportion, knowing what to do and what not to do.

"Well, even though it's already done, don't go any further. It won't arouse other people's doubts, and it won't be good if it breaks." His tone paused slightly, and he continued: "Counting the time, Danqing is not good enough." It's only two days before I leave, and I'm coming back. You go to the pier and wait, as soon as he comes back, I immediately bring him over to talk." For her, it doesn't matter if it's Master Xue Si or Master Xue Wu. , is not a big deal.What Danqing does is a major event that concerns the future honor and disgrace of the Xue family.There is no room for loss.

Although Danxin was not very clear about what Danqing did when he came to the capital, he and Danqing both served Xue Baochai in front of him, and they were brothers, so he naturally guessed something in his heart. , he can clearly distinguish the seriousness of the matter.Immediately answered.

"Okay, let's go down."

"Yes."

Xue Baochai took a book from Duobao Pavilion after Danxin left, and flipped through it.The book I happened to pick up was some folk tales, telling some touching stories that happened in the folk.Flipping through one of the pages casually, I saw that it happened to be about a mother who lost her child and avenged her son.I scanned it quickly, and when I saw the end, I couldn't help ticking the corner of my mouth.

This is really a touching story!
