Chapter Seventy-One

It is said that Xue Pan was beaten by someone in Hualou, and fainted in pain in the middle of the road, and woke up to see his mother and sister crying at him, and his eyes were red for a while.

Aunt Xue immediately saw him wake up, and hurriedly said, "My son! What do you think? Does it hurt? ”

Xue Pan said aggrievedly: "It hurts all over my body." ”

Aunt Xue said: "Don't move, I invited a doctor to come and say that you broke four ribs." After that, he wiped his tears again, "Even the bones are discounted, who is so ruthless and does this." ”

Xue Pan screamed in his heart, no wonder the pain was so bad, those minions were really not afraid to beat themselves to death.

Another Baochai wiped away his tears and said: "I advise you not to go outside to mess around every day, but you just don't listen, and now you have suffered such a big loss." ”

Aunt Xue said again: "Your aunt has sent someone to ask for a doctor, so bear with it a little longer." ”

When Xue Pan heard the word "aunt", he remembered what the beater said, and he didn't even notice the pain. Hurriedly looked up and looked around, and said, "Mother, let everyone else go out." ”

Aunt Xue was stunned.

However, Baochai saw her brother's solemn expression, and hurriedly stood up and ordered everyone to go outside.

Xue Pan saw the door closed, and asked in a low voice, "Mother, how much money did you lend to your aunt if you told me the truth?" ”

Aunt Xue was shocked: "My son! How do you know. ”

Xue Pan said: "You only sue me how much you lend her." ”

Aunt Xue said: "The large sum is a total of 600,000 taels, and there are some small ones. ”

Xue Baochai exclaimed: "So many! ”

It shows that those people's words are true. Xue Pan closed his eyes heavily.

Aunt Xue said curtly: "Because she wants to return the silver from the treasury to the eldest girl to pave the future...... Later, they had to pay off the public debt. ”

Xue Pan said sarcastically: "The mothers of all the families outside are preparing to save their relatives, what kind of mother is her eldest girl?" ”

Baochai sighed: "Mother is confused, she can't touch a penny of silver now, what will she pay us back?" ”

Aunt Xue hurriedly said: "I left an IOU and pressed my handprint, and sooner or later I will have to pay it back to us." Besides, there is the old lady, who and your uncle are both face-saving people. ”

Baochai said: "What does it have to do with the old lady?" Could it be that the old lady would pay back so much money for her? ”

Aunt Xue only looked at her and smiled silently.

For a long time, Xue Pan sighed lightly and asked, "Mother gave her sister to Baoyu?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Baochai immediately blushed: "What did my brother say?" ”

Aunt Xue glanced at her daughter and said angrily, "In front of your sister, how can you say it like that." ”

Xue Pan sneered: "Is this true? ”

Aunt Xue said: "I know that you don't feel happy when you see everyone likes Baoyu on weekdays, but this child is really good, good to girls, and willing to study and progress......"

Xue Pan looked up at his sister-in-law's face flushed with shame, and remembered the "golden and jade good fate" that he heard people say on weekdays, I am afraid that his sister is tempted, and secretly complains bitterly, and sneered: "Baoyu is full of flowers and grass, and it is good for girls all over the world, even the fans are just as good, but I don't know how many concubines I want to marry in the future, and how many men and women are here." Besides, I don't think my uncle and the old lady know about this matter? ”

Aunt Xue saw him mean at first, so she wanted to speak out about him, but when she heard it, she was dumbfounded.

"She didn't say it, but what about denying it in the future? Not to mention that our family's money has been lost, isn't my sister's life delayed? ”

Aunt Xue was stunned, and said for a long time: "It's just ...... Your aunt is his biological mother after all...... We also wrote down the paperwork. ”

Xue Pan snorted: "My uncle-in-law is still his biological father, what is the use of the documents she wrote." The greed of the second wife of Rongguo Mansion has already spread throughout half of the capital, and I am afraid that our hundreds of thousands of silver will not come back. ”

Aunt Xue hurriedly said: "No matter how bad it is, your uncle will still uphold justice!" ”

Xue Pan shook his head.

After being silent for a long time, Bao Chai Nai asked, "What's wrong with my brother today?" ”

Xue Pan let out an "oops" and told his mother and sister-in-law how he had been retaliated against and what he heard those people say.

Aunt Xue's mother and daughter all became mud bodhisattvas, unable to move for half a day.

Xue Pan sighed: "I have always regarded myself as a character, I don't want to have become a 'non-tight' person for a long time, and I still relied on the name of their house when I was 'tight' in the past." ”

After a while, Aunt Xue said: "Fortunately, they don't care if you are a person, otherwise I am afraid that you will be poisoned." You are not allowed to cause trouble outside in the future. ”

Xue Pan smiled bitterly: "Mother, I don't make trouble, I'm just afraid that people will come to provoke us." It's a big fat sheep. Didn't you hear all kinds of gossip spread all over the capital? Out of hatred, he said, "My good sister let those cheap slave fans casually talk about it for fun." ”

Baochai suddenly burst into tears.

Aunt Xue scolded those minions for a long time, and said: "Let your aunt go and check, which slut in her room who doesn't have a long mouth goes outside to talk nonsense, find it out and kill it!" ”

Baochai wiped away her tears and said: "Not to mention that it comes out if it is not checked, what if it is found out?" This time is different from the past, there are only a few people left around her, and they will not be sent out at will. ”

Aunt Xue hurriedly said, "What is a slave? Your aunt loves you the most! ”

Baochai only bowed his head to wipe away his tears, but did not speak. Xue Pan was also silent.

Aunt Xue had no idea for a while, and only said for a long time: "Then how about we!" Now your aunt has really lost power in this house. ”

Baochai thought for a while and said, "We still have an uncle." ”

Aunt Xue hurriedly said, "Yes, yes! Let's move to your uncle's house! ”

Baochai said: "Mother is not in a hurry, how can you move for no reason?" My brother was hurt again. You have to have a solid excuse. ”

The mother and daughter discussed it.

Xue Pan had mixed feelings on the side, and burst into tears for a while. Although Aunt Xue was discussing with her daughter, her eyes were always looking at him, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly asked, "Son, but where does it hurt so much?" He scolded the doctor for not having the royal law to beat people, scolded the doctor for not having the ability, and scolded Mrs. Wang for not being able to invite the imperial doctor for half a day.

Xue Pan said with tears in his eyes: "My father is gone, I am the only man in the family, and now even the slaves of I don't know which family know that I am incompetent." I can't be filial to my mother and love my sister more, and I teach you two mothers and sons to cāo for me every day, and it's really not as good as a beast. ”

Before they could say a word, the three mothers hugged their heads and cried.

After a while, the imperial doctor finally came, and after looking at it for a long time, he only said that it was no major problem and did not hurt his internal organs. The broken ribs are easy to feed, and it doesn't matter, just let him not move. Aunt Xue's mother and daughter cried two more jars when they heard this. for sending men to sue the officials. It's just that as the beating man said, he couldn't come up with a film of Rongguofu, only a film of Jia Zheng.

Not long after, Mrs. Wang, Jia Mu and others sent people to look at him, Jia Lian and Jia Cong Baoyu came to see it in person, and Jia Cong also helped him scold the beating for half a day, but Jia Yu did not move at all. Xue Pan used to be a fool, but now he has suffered such a ruthless loss, and he can't move while lying on the bed, no matter how stupid he is, he has learned to use his brain. Jia Yu never sent anyone, which means that the big house of Rongguo Mansion is not ready to support the Xue family.

When Wang Ziteng heard that he had come to see him, he scolded again.

Xue Pan smiled bitterly: "What my uncle said is that I just hate not listening to my uncle's words earlier." ”

Wang Ziteng was startled, and thought that he had heard it wrong! asked Aunt Xue: "Is this really Pan'er?" ”

Aunt Xue said with tears in her eyes: "Brother, Pan'er's loss is really big. Because he motioned for the people in the house to go out, he whispered what Xue Pan heard.

Wang Ziteng was silent for a long time when he heard this, and said, "I'm afraid that there is a family with a background." He sighed again, "I said that Pan'er is so unscrupulous and will inevitably cause trouble, and there are all kinds of people in the capital." Fortunately, the injury was not serious. ”

Aunt Xue hurriedly asked, "Brother, look, who is so bold?" ”

Wang Ziteng snorted: "Do you think this is Jinling?" There are so many heads in the capital, any official or the family of the prince or the concubine dares to do it. Only Pan'er, a stupid one, went on a rampage like a horse without a halter and refused to relent. Listening to these words, if those slaves really beat him to death, we can't do anything if we can't keep it together. ”

Aunt Xue was shocked: "Then there is no royal law!" ”

Wang Ziteng sneered: "It's just that whoever has a big family is justified." When he killed that Feng or something, there would be a king's law? ”

Aunt Xue was speechless for a while.

Prince Teng Nai said: "It's also a good thing to be able to grow ideas after suffering this loss." Otherwise, if you can't offend someone who can't be provoked one day, I'm afraid that if you take it seriously, you will be beaten to death. ”

Aunt Xue was unwilling, and she had no choice but to pull him to tears. Wang Ziteng comforted her for a long time.

After waiting for more than ten days, there was no movement in the Five Cities Terracotta Division. Aunt Xue was in a hurry and wanted to find Mrs. Wang. Baochai hurriedly said: "Auntie is afraid that there is no way, let's go and investigate first." ”

So he sent some money to the yamen. The official said: "Little brother, how can you investigate the case that doesn't even have a thread?" Sue sΓΉ your master, but mortals don't have much to do, just put up with it, it's just a big idea and a small loss, and it's not dead or disabled. People who dare to do it must not be afraid of ordinary people, even if they find out, they are afraid that you will not be able to do anything about the Lord, why bother us to spend so much effort to go, and the blind man will light the lamp in vain. ”

Aunt Xue sighed when she heard this: "Your aunt is really out of trouble." ”

Xue Baochai thought for a long time and said, "It's nothing more than what happened to my brother...... If there is a lawsuit with someone in business in the future, I am afraid that I will not be able to count on it anymore. Let's move to my uncle's house. ”

Aunt Xue hesitated: "It's just your marriage to Baoyu......"

Bao Chai turned his head shyly: "Mom! ”

Xue Pan said: "Now that Rongguo Mansion obviously has nothing to do with the second room, do you really marry your sister?" I'll see if I'm trying to get the money back. ”

Aunt Xue couldn't think of a way to think about it, and she was at a loss.

For a long time, Xue Pan snorted: "Mother is soft-skinned after all. If she doesn't pay it back, I'll ask for it. ”

Aunt Xue hurriedly said: "You are not allowed to come nonsense, she is your own aunt, and now she is not very good, who knows if there will be a peak in the future?" Just a few more days. ”

Xue Pan's anxious eyes were like copper bells, and he shouted: "There is a bullshit peak loop!" In my opinion, she only cries every day, but no one listens to her. If you get our more than 600,000 yuan of silver for nothing, can't you still catch your sister? There is no such cheap in the world, even if she doesn't pay it back, the old lady has to pay it back for her! ”

Baochai said: "Brother, don't worry, we can't afford to offend my aunt this time, so now it's important to discuss with my uncle to move over." It's not too late to discuss later. ”

Xue Pan said angrily: "After any more tolerance, the silver will fly." "I was speechless because of my anger.

Aunt Xue and Baochai discussed for a long time and couldn't come up with a charter, so they had to go to Wang's house to discuss with Wang Ziteng to move over. The excuse is also ready-made, Xue Pan has suffered such a big loss this time, it is all because he is too stubborn and ignorant, and someone has to discipline him, and there is no one else except the prince. Mrs. Wang said to let Jia Zheng take care of him, and Aunt Xue sighed: "Sister, my brother-in-law is a scholar, where can I care about Pan'er like this." Mrs. Wang was speechless.

Because it was rumored that Xue Pan had offended the nobles, few people came to see him during the period when he was recuperating from his injuries, and even if a fox friend came to the door, Aunt Xue stopped him. Jia Lian has been busy with official business recently, and Baoyu is busy studying, but Jia Cong often comes to him to hang around, and the two brothers talk to relieve their boredom.

Xue Pan sighed: "Brother Cong, the two of us don't have much contact on weekdays, so it's hard for you to still miss me often." ”

Jia Cong can't tell him that he came to see the house...... I had to say: "Because Brother Xue and I are generally impatient, I know how aggrieved it is for a person with this temperament to lie on the kang and not be able to move." ”

Xue Pan smiled: "Treat me well, take you out to play every day." ”

Jia Cong hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't, I don't have that much effort, someone will play with you at that time." I have to learn martial arts and study again, and I'm very busy. ”

Xue Pan said disappointingly: "It's boring." ”

Jia Cong glanced at him: "I'm not you, your family has a big business, but if you don't cause a big disaster, you will also make it." Sooner or later, one day the house was divided, and I had nothing, not on my own, but on whom. ”

Xue Pan was stunned: "Splitting up? How much of an idea did you have to think of splitting up? ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Isn't it mine in this house?" Besides, I also have a sister who is not favored. My sister treats me very well, but my father and second brother both look at her as ordinary. If I'm not motivated, my sister won't be able to live in the future. ”

Xue Pan was angry when he heard Jia Yu, and said sarcastically: "The second girl is in charge of your old son, what is the matter with you?" Aren't you Lao Tzu in charge of the Rongguo Mansion now? ”

Jia Cong glanced at him unhappily: "Mo Yin Yang is weird, what do you mean to control?" Brother Xue, you don't read much, I don't want to lie to you. To control means to monopolize the power that you should not hold. Isn't it wrong for my Lao Tzu to seize the power of Rongguo Mansion? This Rongguo Mansion is not his, is it the second uncle's? Don't forget that my Lao Tzu is the one who attacked the lord, this is the law of the court, and if you are not satisfied, you will go to the sage to argue. The second uncle was in control in his early years. If it weren't for the kindness of my son at that time, and the brotherhood of brotherhood, I would have split up and sent my second uncle out on the day of the attack. His petty official from the fifth grade, still wants to have a good life today? Some people just give shame to others, take favors as if they owe him, and are not satisfied with what they want to seek from others. If he hadn't gone too far, would I have been able to fix him like this? The tiger is not powerful, when my father is a sick cat? My dad used to be too lazy to care about him. You see, as soon as my father made a move, the second uncle was immediately intimidated, and he didn't even have the strength to parry. ”

What he said was reasonable, Xue Pan was dumbfounded, and it took a long time before he said: "It's just that they were originally brothers......

Jia Cong said: "Yes, isn't it for the sake of my brother that my father 'allowed' him to stay in this mansion?" But he is still living in Rongxi Hall shamelessly. ”

Xue Pan hurriedly said: "That's what the old lady meant." ”

Jia Cong said: "At home, follow the father, marry the husband, and die from the son." From the day the old lady married into this mansion, until now, she has never been the one who has the final say in Rongguo Mansion. My father used to be filial piety and didn't care about her, but she, like her second uncle, took my father's forbearance for granted. There will always be a day when people's patience runs out, she wants to seek my father's title for her second uncle, and my father can't bear it no matter how stupid and filial he is. ”

Xue Pan was taken aback: "Nonsense! How can there be such a thing! ”

Jia Cong hurriedly said: "I said it wrong, I was seeking my brother's title for Brother Baoyu, but it is actually the same." ”

Xue Pan thought about it, Shi Taijun really doted on Baoyu, everyone knew it, although she also loved Jia Lian, but she couldn't compare with Baoyu. I couldn't help but shudder. No wonder their big room is desperate not to tear up the net with the second room, and the second room hits the idea to the root of the family. Looking at it this way, the second room will be kicked out of the Rongguo Mansion sooner or later, and it is better for the family to withdraw early.

After a while, he suddenly asked: "According to you, who is in charge of Baoyu's family affairs?" ”

Jia Cong immediately said: "Second uncle, others can persuade him, but he can not listen." Did Brother Xue think about whether the family affair between Sister Xue and Brother Baoyu could be counted? ”

Xue Pan sneered: "You know. ”

Jia Cong said: "The words of Jin Yu Liangyuan have already spread to the East Mansion next door, probably only the second uncle does not know about the mansion." It's just that I don't think it's reliable. This kind of thing is not up to anyone with a loud voice who has the final say. The second uncle didn't like the second aunt very much, and the old lady didn't like Sister Xue, but she was afraid that this family affair would be difficult. ”

Xue Pan said angrily: "The old lady doesn't like my sister? What's wrong with my sister? ”

Jia Cong said coldly: "She is the niece and daughter of the second wife, it's not good here." ”

Xue Pan was stunned: "Isn't it good to kiss?" ”

Jia Cong said: "The old ancestor likes Brother Baoyu, and he is bent on seeking my brother's title for him so that Brother Baoyu can support her in the future - then again, Brother Baoyu is also a filial person." If Bao Er's grandmother is the sister of the Lin family or the sister of the Shi family, then it would be good to kiss and kiss. If it's the sister of the Xue family or the sister of the Wang family, it's not good, it's better to find someone you don't know, it's better than having a daughter-in-law and a granddaughter-in-law in the inner house, isn't it? ”

Where did Xue Pan want to get this layer up? I couldn't help but be stunned, and only said for a long time: "There are such things......"

Jia Cong glanced at him with disdain: "Brother Xue, you are a stupid person like Brother Baoyu!" ”

Xue Pan thought about it for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "It's not just me, my mother is generally a fool. ”

After Xue Pan's injury recovered, the Xue family moved to the Wang family, and Mrs. Wang couldn't stay, so she had to send out the door with tears in her eyes.

As everyone knows, the front foot of the Xue family has just left the courtyard, and the sedan chair waiting for Aunt Xue is still slowly carried in the Rongguo Mansion, and the gate of the Lixiang Courtyard is not closed at all. Then a large group of people poured in, Jia Cong personally led the way, and pointed out: "This one moves away, that one moves there...... These are mostly young men with big shoulders and round waists, and there are many people, and they move very quickly. When Mrs. Wang was still waving outside the Yimen, many things had already moved in. Mrs. Wang returned to her own yard and wiped her tears to tell Jin Chu'er about her grievances, and the large items in Lixiang Courtyard had been placed, and seven or eight mothers-in-law came in to clean them up carefully. Then various items such as bed tents and furnishings were added in turn, because no one reported the news, Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother were still thinking about the Xue family who had just left, and Jia Cong moved into Lixiangyuan very neatly.
