142 Iok-in Temple
Yeongkookfu, Ixiangwon.
Xue Pan returned to this courtyard located in the southwest corner of Rongguo Mansion, and Lixiang Courtyard was originally a place for Rongguo Gong to recuperate in his twilight years.
Aunt Xue took a pair of children to Jiafu and lived here.
The lights were still on in Aunt Xue's room.
Seeing that Xue Pan was about to go to his room, Xue Baochai hurriedly stopped him: "Brother, you go with me to my mother's side." ”
Xue Pan yawned: "Is there anything you can't talk about tomorrow?" I'm tired all day, my body is stinky, and I have to take a shower. ”
……
When Aunt Xue heard Xue Baochai's story, the expression on her face was like a Sichuan opera, and she asked: "Baochai, aren't you telling a story, why do I listen to it more exciting than Journey to the West." ”
Aunt Xue is a responsible person, she grew up in the palace when she was young, and later married Xue Pan's father, Aunt Xue, but this Aunt Xue died young, leaving a son and a daughter, all raised by Aunt Xue.
Xue Pan has no father since he was a child, he is naughty and mischievous, and he does all kinds of evil, Aunt Xue also wants to be strict, but unfortunately he has no father's child, his personality is unruly, and he is stubborn, plus the Xue family only has this one single seedling, and if he manages it strictly, his mother-in-law will also say.
Fortunately, Xue Baochai has been obedient since she was a child, and she can help Aunt Xue take care of the family's affairs, and Bing Xue is smart and very measured, and even Xue Pan is polite to her sister.
However, Xue Baochai is a girl, seeing that she is growing up year by year and is about to become an old girl, Aunt Xue is anxious.
Aunt Xue entered Beijing this time to find a good family for Xue Baochai.
Originally, she wanted to send Xue Baochai into the palace as a show girl, but Emperor Longqian himself was not a womanizer and did not care much about women, so Baochai entered the palace and became a flower in the mirror.
Fortunately, Aunt Xue still has an alternative, so she has lived in Jiafu for a long time.
What's more, listening to Xue Baochai explain Shen Liang's words and deeds, Aunt Xue's eyes became even brighter: "Baochai, so it seems that Baoyu is favored by the emperor?" ”
Aunt Xue's alternative is none other than Shen Liang.
As early as after entering the Rongguo Mansion, Aunt Xue launched a money offensive, up and down the mansion, all the money opened the way, and dotted it all over.
She let out her words: This golden lock can only be matched with jade, which is the so-called golden and jade good fate.
In the entire Jia Mansion, there is only one Shen Liang who has jade, and this is all obvious things on the bald man's head.
However, Shen Liang's mother, Mrs. Wang, does not seem to agree to this marriage, and the reason is that she doesn't look down on her sister's daughter.
Jia Wang Shi Xue four families, Xue is ranked last, who made the Xue family an imperial businessman, although it sounds good, but after all, he is still a businessman.
The Rongguo Mansion is a top magnate other than the prince, and the women married in the family are also the daughters of top magnates.
For example, Shi Lao Taijun is the daughter of the Shi family's Baoling Hou.
Mrs. Wang is the daughter of the Wang family and the daughter of the tiger of the gate.
Shen Liang is the most favored one in the second generation of the Jia family, and Shi Lao Taijun actually prefers Lin Daiyu, and Lin Daiyu's background is much stronger than Xue Baochai.
The father of the family is a third-generation prince, although Lin Ruhai's generation can no longer inherit the title, but Lin Ruhai is angry, high school flowers, Jane is in the emperor's heart, and now it is Huaiyang's salt patrol imperial history, a first-class fat difference.
It's really a comparison of goods, and people have to die more than people.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Xue Baochai is the absolute proud daughter of the sky, the top rich second generation, but in the eyes of the Jia family, she is just the daughter of a businessman, which is nothing.
So when Aunt Xue heard that Shen Liang had won the emperor's grace, she was surprised and delighted.
Originally, there was a gap between his daughter and Baoyu, but now the gap is getting bigger and bigger, and they are about to catch up with the Mariana Trench.
But the more this is the case, the more Aunt Xue wants to promote the marriage of her daughter and Jia Baoyu.
Xue Pan has no hope, and she can't practice the trumpet again, so now she can only find a big god for her daughter to take her flying, and take care of Xue Pan by the way.
As the saying goes, leaning back against a big tree is good for enjoying the shade.
Since Aunt Xue's father died, some of the shopkeepers in their Xue family's business have been fluctuating, and they have begun to cheat and play tricks, and she alone cannot be suppressed by a woman.
Xue Pan is a gentleman again, he can't count on it, if it continues like this, the Xue family will be finished sooner or later.
Xue Pan didn't care, he yawned and said: "If you want me to say, Baoyu just stepped on shit luck, if the emperor summoned me today, hum, maybe the emperor will take a fancy to me." ”
Bah!
Shameless!
Aunt Xue, mother and daughter, rolled their eyes in unison.
Others don't know, can they still not know what kind of virtue Xue Pan is?
Aunt Xue folded her hands and said: "Bodhisattva bless, fortunately the emperor did not summon you, otherwise you may not be able to cause a big mess, Pan'er, you can have a snack, what level you are, you don't know?"
The emperor summoned Baoyu, what words did he say, what questions did he ask, did you ask Baoyu? ”
Xue Pan shook his head and said: "After Baoyu was called by the emperor, someone came to invite us downstairs, and I don't know what they said, I asked Baoyu, and Baoyu didn't say it, he said that this is a secret, and the heavenly machine cannot be revealed."
I just laughed, he didn't have any hair, what secret could he have, and he really regarded himself as a character? Brother Feng and Wei Ruolan didn't put such a big score, but he still put it on. ”
What Xue Pan looked down on the most was the person who was pretentious, and Shen Liang's mysterious appearance made him feel very uncomfortable.
Xue Baochai sighed and said to Xue Pan: "Brother, this is your fault, Baoyu found a master for you and let you learn your skills, not only did you not thank others, but you also arranged others behind your back."
Besides, he was summoned by the emperor, and it was not his intention, if you don't want to, you go to the emperor to theorize, what kind of ability is it to talk behind your back? ”
Xue Pan jumped to his feet and shouted: "Okay, sister, I think you have taken a fancy to Baoyu, right, you actually helped an outsider to speak, do you still take me as a brother?"
Sister, you don't have to mess with me, I already know your heart. In the past, my mother told me that you have to choose a jade for this golden lock, and you pay attention, seeing that Baoyu has that Laoshizi, you naturally speak to protect him now. ”
Before Xue Pan's words were finished, Xue Baochai's chest rose and fell sharply, and she pulled Aunt Xue's arm and cried: "Mom, what did you hear my brother say?" ”
Xue Pantian is not afraid of the ground, he is afraid of the two women in his family.
Aunt Xue trembled angrily, she grabbed Xue Pan's ears and dragged hard: "Evil obstacles!" What did you say? Your sister takes care of housework at home all day long, and you have to help your old son sort out the account books, you spend all day drinking outside, and you don't go home at night, and you still have the face to be angry with your sister! ”
Xue Pan knew that he was at a loss, so he hurriedly apologized to Xue Baochai, and made a grimace with his fingers pulling his eyelids.
Xue Baochai couldn't be teased by him, and sneered: "Okay, there is no face and no skin, and I don't know where to practice such a thick skin, it is even thicker than the city wall of the capital!" ”
Xue Pan also came back to his senses, patted his head and said: "I just saw Baoyu angrily pardoning the uncle, and for a while, he was a little upset, and he collided with his sister, is it the elder brother, the elder brother has made amends to you." ”
Seeing the harmony between the brothers and sisters, Aunt Xue also smiled: "The family does not bully outsiders, you see that old man, he is bent on competing for family property, getting more and getting more, and eating ugly and tight, fortunately, there is an old lady in charge of the house, if the old lady leaves first one day, the eldest master and your uncle-in-law will definitely fight." ”
Xue Baochai was puzzled: "I think my uncle-in-law is an honest man, he doesn't fight or grab, and treats people kindly, he shouldn't do anything to tear his face." ”
When Aunt Xue heard this, she took Baochai's hand and sat down and said, "Your uncle-in-law naturally won't, he is the kind of person who would rather not have a family business than have a dispute with others, but don't forget, and your aunt, she is not a good lord, I want to ...... Alas, don't mention it. ”
