It seemed that she had thought of something unspeakable about the past, and Aunt Xue stopped it.

"But what your brother said is not entirely wrong, our family is currently in such a situation, although there are thousands of family wealth, but there is no backbone, and it is usually stable, but once there is any storm, our Xue family will overturn in an instant."

Aunt Xue looked at her girl, "Your brother who is not angry is now also on the right path, although he is doing a livelihood that is not in the stream, but at least he has the ability, he can't be hungry, even if the family loses in the future, he can eat together." ”

Xue Pan stomped his feet and said, "Mom, what are you talking nonsense!" What family will fail, our family is fine. Besides, there is such a big family business as Rongguofu, how can you say that you will be defeated, no matter how bad it is, isn't there still an uncle? ”

The uncle he said was Wang Ziteng, and now Wang Ziteng is deeply used by Emperor Longqian, in charge of Beijing, and he is also in power.

Aunt Xue snorted coldly: "It's not promising, no matter how promising other people's families are, it's someone else's, each family takes care of their own family, everyone is selfish, even if they are brothers and sisters, if there is really a conflict of interests, they will become enemies."

So we still have to rely on ourselves, thinking about relying on others every day, that's a coward's idea, you have to remember this. ”

Xue Baochai sat quietly beside her mother, listening to her reprimand Xue Pan, but Shen Liang's delicate face appeared in her mind.

I heard my mother say that this Shen Liang was also like her brother before, she was a complete gentleman, so her mother took her to Jiafu and wanted her to marry such a man, but she was resistant from the bottom of her heart.

But her parents' orders were difficult to disobey, and for the sake of the Xue family's family business, she had no choice but to compromise.

I didn't think that Shen Liang seemed to be a different person in the past few days, from a bastard who didn't do his job properly and writhed in the pile of fat powder all day long, he began to become studious, and began to study the way of economic career, and now even Emperor Longqian praised him, which really made Xue Baochai overjoyed.

After all, who doesn't want to marry someone they like, especially an excellent one.

Women are all strong and upward-pandering, and she Xue Baochai is not exempt from vulgarity.

Xue Pan was scolded and said, "Sister, let me tell you a secret, do you remember the matter of Yuxiang Bookstore mentioned by the eldest master?" ”

"Of course I do."

Xue Pan said: "This bookstore is indeed Baoyu's, Hua Zifang, and attacking people are all under the guise of working for him, that time he took me to apprentice, and the first stop was here, and on the day of the opening, I also gave him a trust." ”

Aunt Xue scolded: "Damn the evil obstacle, why didn't you tell us about such an important thing earlier, I see that you are a lard and have almost forgotten who your mother is." ”

When Xue Pan heard this, he said aggrievedly: "It's not that I don't have time, and I thought it wasn't a big deal, just a small bookstore, in our Xue family, it couldn't be ranked at all." ”

Xue Pan didn't know the revenue of Yuxiang Bookstore, otherwise he wouldn't dare to say such things.

The Xue family is an imperial businessman, but there is a lot of business in the family, there is a pawn shop called "Hengshudian" on Gulou West Street, and it also operates spices, medicinal materials and other businesses, and the money has been made in the sea.

It's just that in Xue Pan's generation, he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and he doesn't care about the family business at all, and the family's business is handed over to the housekeeper.

Aunt Xue also came to the capital to supervise the housekeeper, so she came to the capital to supervise in person.

It's just this method, which treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

Aunt Xue's face changed when she heard this, and she shook her head and said, "With your little ability, what can you see?" Baoyu can pull up a team of people and start a bookstore by himself, which is enough to see that he is a person with ability and means, and such a person will become a big thing in the future. ”

When Xue Pan heard this, the boss in his heart was unhappy, and pouted: "My mother-in-law, Baoyu is so good, why don't you let Baoyu come to be your son, and what the angel calls me to do, I'm useless, I'm a dou who can't be helped." ”

When Aunt Xue heard this, she felt that her breath was blocked in her throat, and she couldn't go up or down, "Hu Qin, it's useless, you are also the meat that fell from my body, I am asking you to study hard with Baoyu, don't mess around all day, let me and your sister save some snacks." ”

Xue Pan can't speak, he often talks about a sentence in the east and a sentence or two in the west, and the anger comes and goes quickly.

Xue Baochai also persuaded: "As long as my brother doesn't mess around and lingers in the fireworks all day long, my mother and I will be relieved, as for the family's business, my mother and I will take care of it." ”

Xue Baochai knows that his brother's temperament is not a person who can take care of things, instead of messing around at home, it is better to soak in the teahouse and do something serious.

Xue Pan listened to his sister's words, rejoiced in his heart, and yawned: "It's late at night, my mother and sister should also sleep, by the way, Baoyu said that staying up late is not good for your skin." ”

？？？

The mother and daughter had a question mark on their faces, what is this, why would Shen Liang tell Xue Pan about such a thing.

After Xue Pan left, Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue glanced at each other.

Aunt Xue said: "Your brother is honest, he doesn't use his brain when he talks and acts, he will inevitably offend people, and when he hears me say a few good words about Baoyu today, he feels jealous, which is not a good thing." ”

In the candlelight, Xue Baochai sighed and said: "The mouth grows on him, what can we do, fortunately, he has something to do now, and he will not be fooled around like before." ”

At this time, there were only two mothers and daughters in the house, and there was no need to scruple when speaking, only to hear Xue Baochai say again: "My brother's character is like this, my mother doesn't have to worry about it, besides, my brother has been messing around outside for a long time, and he hasn't done much to offend people, and he is also a judge of the situation, he just complains at home, if he really sees Baoyu, he will not dare to speak like this." ”

Aunt Xue sat on the kang, her round buttocks held the fragrant lilies on her body round, and she carried a big gold bracelet on her wrist, supporting her face with her hands, and said, "I hope so." ”

……

"Thank you, sister."

In a small courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, Shen Liang said to Lin Daiyu with a smile.

Lin Daiyu spoke up tonight and scolded Jia Yu, which really impressed Shen Liang.

Lin Daiyu's temperament is light, because she is under the fence, she generally does not argue with others, even if she says bad things about people, she is talking behind her back.

Lin Daiyu glanced at him and said, "I'm just talking about things, and besides, the eldest master is unlucky, can you please him?" In case I am implicated again, how do I deal with myself? ”

The two of them were in Lin Daiyu's hut, and there was a charcoal pot burning in the house, but it was also warm.

Shen Liang said: "I know my sister's intentions, my sister can rest assured, when the college examination is over this year, I will find my grandmother to settle the marriage for the two of us, and when the time comes, you can't regret it." ”

Hearing Shen Liang's words, Lin Daiyu's beautiful face flew red.

The purple cuckoo and the snow goose in the room glanced at each other, pricked up their ears, and they sat on the chairs outside, the corners of their mouths unconsciously hooked.

Shen Liang saw that Lin Daiyu didn't speak, so he sat next to Lin Daiyu and said, "Does my sister agree or not?" ”

He knew that Lin Daiyu was thin-skinned, so he deliberately teased her.

Lin Daiyu lowered her head, her fingers kept tugging at the corners of her clothes, she blushed and snorted: "You can just make up your mind about this kind of thing." ”

Shen Liang stretched out his hand and pinched the bridge of Lin Daiyu's upturned nose, and said with a smile: "To be honest, you are really stupid and cute, marriage is a big deal, and I want my parents to match my words, I haven't gone to see my uncle yet, maybe my uncle is not very satisfied with me." ”

Jia Zheng and Jia Min are brother and sister, Shen Liang has to call Lin Ruhai his uncle, Lin Daiyu is Shen Liang's cousin, or his cousin.

However, in ancient times, there were no relatives, especially between nobles, who paid attention to a pure bloodline, so this kind of kissing and kissing was not uncommon.

Presumably, Lin Ruhai also had this kind of thought, so he sent Lin Daiyu north, the purpose was also to let the old lady save a bloodline for the Lin family.
