Jinling Jia family, Shi family, Xue family, Wang family, the same Jinling four major families, the Xue family since the previous dynasty, is one of the best rich businessmen, at that time, the Wang family is one of the big gangs on the Yangtze River shipping wharf, the head of the Shi family is stationed in Jinling generals, the two brothers of the Jia family, the eldest is partial to the text, is the prefect of Jinling, the second is partial to the military, and the three religions and nine streams are good. In the previous dynasty, the government was harsh and the taxes were heavy, from the royal family to the civil and military officials, who were arrogant and lascivious, and there were peasant riots all over the country, and the major warlords supported their troops to stand on their own. In order to protect themselves, the four families supported each other and defected to the founding emperor who raised troops from outside the border.

Since the founding of the country with the founding emperor, the Xue family has rewarded their meritorious ministers and been given the official position of Ziwei Sheren, and they will never collect taxes when they enjoy the official position in the dynasty. It's a pity that the Xue Mansion is not only a few generations of single transmission, but also a generation of shoucheng, fortunately, the Xue family in this generation is a capable family, at the age of twenty, his father went, took over the family business, and under the bad of the tiger and wolf, the declining Xue family regained the glory of the year. It's just, it's a pity!

The head of the Xue family has only one son and one daughter under his knees, son Xue Pan and daughter Xue Baochai, due to the difficulty of the Xue family's heirs, since Xue Pan was born, he has been spoiled by his mother and wife, arrogant, and still pure filial piety. Xue Baochai was born smart and clever, and he was quite loved by the head of the Xue family, and the head of the Xue family originally wanted to take a good ** Xue Pan, raise Baochai, and let him assist his brother. However, the world is often unpredictable, he stayed up too much in his early years, and he didn't want a cold to let him leave without leaving a word. His wife is the second daughter of the previous generation of the Wang family of the four major families, and the sister is the wife of Jia Zheng, the second master of Rongguo Mansion, even if there is a double escort of her mother's family and her brother-in-law's family, this widower's ** is also trying his best to keep her husband's family property, and under exhaustion, she naturally can't take care of her son Xue Pan, Xue Pan became more and more bold after losing the discipline of his parents, and he was still filial piety in Xue Pan, and he didn't make anything in his father's filial piety.

After the filial piety period, Mrs. Xue as the lady of the house, will not be a business director, the family's business is declining more and more, just right, the imperial court selected female officials, princess maids, Baochai's name was reported, to enter Beijing to be elected, moreover, the Xue family has changed, naturally to go to the ministry to write off the account, set up a new account, Mrs. Xue and several old housekeepers in the family after discussion, decided to sell the shop in Jinling, go to the capital to go to the Jia family.

I didn't want to, so I went out and went to Yingtianfu, and Xue Pan encountered something.

One day, Mrs. Xue and her daughter were discussing the housekeeper's affairs, and the old housekeeper was waiting on the side, responding at any time, when the next person rushed in in a hurry, Mrs. Xue raised her eyebrows and scolded angrily, "What are you doing in a hurry!

The kid was panting and hurriedly said, "Mrs., Mrs., the uncle beat someone to death, and was arrested by the government office!"

Mrs. Xue didn't go through anything, no matter how smart Xue Baochai was, she was just a little girl, the two of them were stunned, Mrs. Xue leaned back, and she was about to faint, Xue Baochai was busy letting people help her mother, just when she was at a loss, fortunately, Mrs. Xue was anxious and her son was relieved.

It's useless to slow down, she's just a housewife, how should she know about this life lawsuit, she was so anxious, the old housekeeper on the side reminded,

"Madam, it's important to deal with the yamen first, but you can't let the uncle suffer any punishment inside, and then carefully explore the reason for this matter, who is this Ying Tianfu Yin, so that you can move around." ”

Mrs. Xue was busy, "Yes, yes, quickly, someone will go to the account room to get five hundred taels of silver, and send a clever boy to the yamen to watch, take care of the officials, and find out the news." ”

Mrs. Xue turned around, and then called someone and said, "Come on, take pen and ink!"

Xue Baochai hurriedly asked, "Mom, what do you want to write?"

"Don't stop your mother from writing letters to your aunt and uncle, so that you can save your brother!"

Xue Baochai stopped, "Mom, let's find out the matter first, I am so anxious to roar, my aunt and uncle don't know what to do, don't they? ”

Aunt Xue listened to her daughter's comfort, made up her mind, and said to the old housekeeper, "Housekeeper, go find out what's going on, and get back to me quickly if you have news." ”

The old housekeeper responded respectfully, turned around and retreated, but thought in his heart, "What's the misunderstanding, this uncle is getting more and more disagreeable, if the old man knows it below" The old housekeeper looked at the afterglow of the sunset, recalled his ups and downs in the Xue family, and said secretly, "That's it, I can hold on for a while, and I can be regarded as worthy of the old lady who died early." ”

This incident was originally caused by two men fighting for a woman, and the son of a local squire who was killed, named Feng Yuan, had parents who died early since he was a child, and he had no brothers, so he was the only one who lived with some meager property. When he was ten years old, he loved men and hated women. This is also a wrongful in the previous life, but by chance he met this kidnapper selling girl, he fell in love with this girl at a glance, and decided to buy it as a concubine, vowing not to marry a man again, and not to marry a second again, for the sake of formality, so three days later. Who knew that this kidnapper was smuggled and sold to the Xue family, and he intended to roll up two families of silver, and then flee to other provinces; That Xue Pan was spoiled by his mother, how could it be that he let people, so he drank a dozen of his subordinates, beat Feng Gongzi to pieces, carried him home, and died in three days. His old servants also sued the yamen.

If you want to say who this Ying Tianfu Yin is, it is Lin Daiyu's Xixi at the beginning, and then Jia Yucun, who was recommended by Jia Zheng as an alternate, this is also a miserly, from the mouth of the official to learn about the relationship between the two families of Jia Xue, although he wants to use this case to promote his own Qingming, but he does not dare to offend his old patron Jia family, so he does not wait for the Xue family to take care of Xue Pan, and when he goes to the yamen the next day, he casually reports that Feng Yuan died violently, and Xue Pan is not guilty. In addition, he wrote two letters, and Jia Zheng and Jingying made the prince Teng, but said that "the nephew's matter is over, don't worry about it" and so on.

Since then, Mrs. Xue has been relieved, thinking that this power is still easy to use, and she and others are fighting for the family property in Jinling, and when they encounter such a major human life, they have not done anything before someone looks up to the power of the two families of King Xue to help fill it, since then, Mrs. Xue has more admiration for the power of the Jia family, and when her brother Prince Tengsheng left the vacancy, she also made her listen to her sister's words more, so she was more obedient to her sister Mrs. Wang.

Baochai is now eleven years old, self-reported as a candidate for the princess, the county lord to accompany the school, in order to be a talented person, praise the good job, and learned a lot of human sophistication with his mother, since he was a child and was taught by his father, but also has a gap, different from his mother's doting on Xue Pan without a bottom line, Baochai knows that the brother who takes over the family business needs to be strict discipline, the original family is still guarding filial piety, and the brother can't see anything, and now the brother is like a loose horse, and he can't clean it up. hated that he was young, and he was about to enter the palace to be selected as an escort, and his mother couldn't listen to his brother's shortcomings, so she had to be anxious and persuaded her mother to go to Beijing quickly, so that her aunt could take care of her brother well.

Mrs. Xue has been married into the Xue family for nearly 20 years, and she misses her sister very much, and she agrees with Xue Baochai's words very much, and is afraid that Xue Pan will cause something wrong, so she ordered someone to speed up the trip.

Xue Pan originally admired the scenery of Kyoto, and didn't want his mother and sister to want to live in his aunt's house, he was strictly disciplined by his father when he was a child, and his father went to keep filial piety for three years.

Although Xue Pan didn't suffer much, he went through prison in the end, and he didn't cause any trouble on the way, and he arrived in Kyoto safely.

The author has something to say: In the Red Mansion, it is said that Xue Pan is fifteen and Xue Baochai is thirteen, in order to match the novel, I advanced the age of the two.
