[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 86

Xue Pan's new wife is the only daughter of a teacher at Sun Yat-Sen Academy in Jinling. Although she has little money, she has a clean and upright family.Xue Xun had already taken a fancy to this girl who came to ask for marriage, and in the end the master would agree only after Xue Pan passed the Juren examination.

When Xue's family left Yangzhou and returned to Jinling, they sent Xue Pan to Sun Yat-sen Academy to save Jia Lian's face, and became Lin Xu's junior.Xue Pan, a member of the Sun Yat-Sen Academy Association, was not only looking at the face of Jia Lian, the head of state, but also because Xue Pan had a little relationship with the Lin family.

Lin Xu was the son-in-law of the head of the mountain, even though the marriage contract was not announced to the public at that time, people in the know were still indispensable.Taking Xue Pan, a student with average talent, can curry favor with Jia Lian, the Lin family and the head of the mountain, so why not do it?

Fortunately, although Xue Pan was a little slow to respond, Jia Lian arranged a lot of homework for him later, and several masters watched him before. Compared with those clever ones, it was a bit harder to study, but it is not unreasonable for the stupid bird to fly first, at least After several years of hard study, he became a Juren in the last place.

When hearing this news, not only Xue Xun burst into tears, but the entire Xue family fell into a sea of ​​joy.Xue Wang wept even more, wiping her tears with a silk scarf and secretly admiring her husband.If it wasn't for her husband's insistence, Xue Pan would have become a playboy like her natal nephew Wang Ren.

And Jia Lian was not what she thought. Not only did she not pursue her responsibility in the past few years, but she never stopped helping the Xue family.Now she has become the mother of Master Juren. Although she has no imperial orders, her status as a scholar's mother is completely different from that of a merchant's wife.

Xue Pan had already reached the age of marriage, Xue Xun had already made arrangements for this, and she had no objection to it.And Xue Baochai is not much younger than Xue Pan, and now that she has a Juren elder brother, for Xue Baochai, this marriage is not a 01:30 improvement.

The son is promising, and the new daughter-in-law is also filial. Xue Wang's life is simply very smooth, and he sleeps with a smile on his face.But this day, the letter from the capital broke her happiness.

Throwing the letter paper on the table angrily, Xue Wang's chest heaved violently, and said to the nanny beside him with a cold face: "Mommy, you said that I have a better life, and my natal brother came to find trouble. It's not that he doesn't know what life the Xue family is living, and it's not that he doesn't mean to help out at all! I mentioned Pan'er's marriage in the letter before, did they have a little heart? It's good now, and I blame me for not notifying them."

The nanny next to Xue Wangshi is her nanny, who has watched her grow up since she was a child, and cherishes her like her own daughter.When Wang Xue got married, the nanny's family was left behind in the Wang family, and the nanny knew that this was a way for the Wang family to control her.

Even if Wang Xue is the daughter of the Wang family, once she marries into the Xue family, can it be guaranteed that she will put the interests of the Wang family above the Xue family?For this reason, the Wang family had to keep a hand.However, the Xue family had some means to become one of the four major families in Jinling with the imperial merchants. The family members of the nanny either died of illness or were sold by accident.

After Master Wang and Mrs. Wang passed away one after another, and the Wang family was inherited by Wang Zisheng and his wife, the nanny's family left the Wang family completely, and now they all live in the Xue family's Zhuangzi.I am very grateful to Xue Xun for these nuns, and will persuade Xue Wang to the best of her ability.

Xue Wang's ability to change her attitude is also due to this nanny.

At this time, thinking that Xue Xun had been estranged from the Wang family without a trace, Wang Momo poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xue Wang, and patted her on the back comfortingly: "Why should my wife be so angry? As the saying goes, a married daughter The splashed water, my wife is now the head wife of the Xue family, and the Xue family should be the most important thing in everything."

"I don't care what the nanny said, but the second brother's letter really chills my heart." Xue Wang shook her head pale.

In the past few years, although Xue Xun had ordered to stay away from the Wang family, she did not obey too much. Boxing and annual gifts were still delivered according to the usual rules, and there was never any delay.But this is a good thing, the Wang family never thought of the Xue family, but they remembered it when they asked for money.

The Xue family is no longer an imperial merchant. Although they are backed by the Ronghou Mansion and have a lot of good things in their hands, they are incomparable to when they were an imperial merchant. How much money Xue Wang has no idea.

Fortunately, Jia Zheng's family where my sister married is like that. Her good brother remembered her and asked to borrow 20 taels of silver. Her Xue family's money didn't come from the wind!What makes Xue Wang even more angry is that it's fine if her good second brother didn't come to Pan'er's wedding, and it's fine if she didn't send the congratulatory gift, but now she's accusing her, the younger sister, of not sending the invitation!

You must know that she not only mentioned Pan'er's matter in the letter, but also sent the letter after the wedding date was set. Later, the invitation card will be sent to the capital together with this year's annual ceremony. What happened?

"Second master has his own family after all, madam." Wang Momo continued to apply eye drops with a low eyebrow.

She knew much more about this matter than Xue Wang's, and the master didn't care about the things sent to the Wang family every time, anyway, it was just a few dollars.But the wife's letter was unpacked and checked by the master every time. As long as there was something related to the Xue family, the master would ask someone to write a letter.

Speaking of it, the Wang family had problems with their daughter's upbringing. She was obviously a young lady, but she couldn't read a few big characters. There were also many problems with writing.That's why Wang Ziteng failed to find out that all the letters that Wang Xue sent to him had been transferred. Whoever asked Wang Xue to write for him has always been ghostwritten.

"His family is a family, so my family is not a family?" Xue Wang said angrily, "Pan'er has just got married, and preparations are still made for next year's spring, and Baochai's marriage is also on the agenda." , plus changing the door and many other things, is there still less room to spend money at home? The two of me are really a lion, he doesn’t know how expensive he is if he is not in charge of the family, right?”

Nanny Wang didn't want to hear Mrs. Xue continue to complain, so she directly changed the subject: "Madam, what do you plan to do about this matter, do you want to talk to the master?"

"You can't hide this matter from the master." After thinking for a while, Mrs. Xue picked up the letter paper on the table, got up and walked out the door.

She knew that her mind was not very good, and it was fine if she didn't listen to the master and kept going to the Wang family. The annual cost was about 6000 to 20 taels. This 2 is not a small number, and she couldn't afford it by herself.When she married Xue's family, the Wang family only bought her a total of [-] taels of dowry.She knew clearly that the betrothal gift that the Xue family sent to the Wang family back then, not to mention anything else, was worth [-] yuan just at the bottom of the box.

I didn't think it before, but now that I think about it carefully, the Wang family is actually selling their daughters.Also the daughter of the Wang family, her sister was married to the Rongguo Mansion. Although she was not the wife of the family, she was also an official family. As for her, she married an imperial merchant, and her dowry was not as much as her sister's.

Mrs. Wang's dowry was also bought with Xue's dowry money!

Wang Momo looked at Xue Wangshi who was going away angrily, her eyes flashed, and then hurriedly chased after her.Xue Wang's family was brought up by her, what kind of temperament would she not know?

Facing Xue Wang’s Xue Xun who was angry, he calmed down. He sealed this letter from Wang Ziteng and handed it to Xue Wang’s after reading it. Wang Momo also got his notice before knocking. so well.He had long wanted to completely clean up the relationship with the Wang family, but Xue Wang, who was educated and brought up by the Wang family, valued the Wang family very much. In addition, it was Xue Pan and Xue Baochai's natal family, so he let it go for so long. Now When it was finally time to close the line, I had to really thank Wang Ziteng.

Do you look down on their Xue family as a merchant?Wang Ziteng still doesn't know about Pan'er being admitted to Juren. He just didn't mention it in Xue Wang's letter.It turned out that Mr. Wang didn't even know that besides Jia Zhu, he had another nephew named Juren.

Xue Xun had already prepared for it. When Xue Wang came to the inner study, not only was he there, Xue Pan and Xue Baochai happened to be there too.And Xue Wang, who was angry, didn't think about hiding it from his children, so he took out Wang Ziteng's letter and yelled that everyone knew.

Today's Xue Pan is no longer the stupid big man in his previous life. Although he is still not sensitive enough to some things, it would be strange if Wang Ziteng could not understand such a straightforward letter.He didn't have any special feelings for this uncle of the Wang family. Jinling and the capital were thousands of miles away, so it was inconvenient to travel, and he had never even met face to face, so how could he have any feelings for him.

And Xue Baochai, who was already shrewd, is even more sensible now.Unlike her previous life, where her father died young, her mother was cowardly and her elder brother was troublesome, she didn't need to work hard like her previous life, instead she had a ladylike temperament.Coupled with Xue Xun's special training, Xue Baochai is not completely ignorant of politics.She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked directly.

"Father, but what happened in the capital? Otherwise, how could this uncle who has never met write such a letter to mother?"

The angry Wang Xue turned her head to look at Xue Xun when she heard Xue Baochai's words. No matter how dissatisfied, it was also her natal family. If something happened, how could she not care about it at all.

Xue Xun had a panoramic view of his wife's demeanor. His wife may have many shortcomings, but the aspect of empathy is an advantage that he has to admit.It's just that it's troublesome if you love Xue's family and Wang's family so much.With a long sigh, Xue Xun nodded to Xue Pan, motioning for him to talk.

Xue Pan looked calm, stepped forward to help Xue Wang to sit down, and then said in a low voice: "Mom, you don't have to worry so much, uncle is fine. You know that uncle was demoted because of his cousin not long ago, uncle It’s because I want to help my uncle’s activities, so I need a lot of money.”

Xue Wang was relieved when she heard the words, but Xue Baochai quietly rolled her eyes at Xue Pan. Only their mother would believe such a statement.Hooked lips smiled at Xue Baochai, and Xue Pan and her sent Xue Wang's Quan Gaoxin back.

The matter of the 20 taels of borrowed money came to an end. Knowing that his brother borrowed money not for his own use but to help Jia Zheng, Wang Xue didn't want to get involved!
