But the problem is that Xue Pan was alone without money, and he couldn't hand over the money, so he was beaten, at least it means that Hong Wenchang is not here at this time.

So where did Hong Wenchang, who went out of Ningguo Mansion with him, go?

Jia Xuan saw that Mrs. Hou of Jinxiang couldn't hold back and wanted to go up to question, so she hurriedly grabbed her, sent a guard, and advised: "You don't say that you are from the Hou Mansion, you just said that you came to find Uncle Hong to ask for debts, and asked him where Uncle Hong went." ”

The guard went, and exchanged a few words with the pig's head with a blue nose and swollen face, and then turned back: "Madam, girl, he said that the prince was in the fifth house on the next street, and said that he went to smoke." Because it was the first time for the living, he also specially asked a son from another family to bring it. ”

What kind of cigarette has to go to the store? Jia Xuan was puzzled.

Zhu mother's face changed dramatically: "Eighty percent is smoking the tobacco leaves of Nalaoshzi, which is not a good thing, it can be addicted, and it hurts the body the most!" That thing is obviously strictly forbidden, how can anyone still do such a business! ”

Mrs. Jinxiang Hou had her son's quasi-Xin'er, her heart was much more down-to-earth, and her thinking about the problem became clearer, and she sneered: "Dare to pull my son to do this kind of thing, their store still wants to live?" Walk. Bring the prince out, let's go home, talk to the Hou Ye again, and directly raze the ground! ”

Thinking that Xue Pan only went to the casino by himself, but let Hong Wenchang smoke that kind of vicious thing, Mrs. Jinxiang Hou was so angry that she smoked, and ordered the guards with hatred, pointing to Xue Pan, who was staggering to get up, and said: "After sending the prince back to the house, you find an opportunity to cover his head and beat him hard." You can't take his life, but you can't leave his life behind. Just a little bit of life. To be able to live is his creation. can't live, that's his own fault! ”

The guards took orders. Immediately divided into two teams, half of them escorted Mrs. Hou and Miss Jia Wu back, and the other half did what Mrs. Hou ordered.

When they returned to Ningguo's Mansion, everyone had already eaten and rested. Only Lin Daiyu was still waiting for Jia Xuan, took the book and looked at it in the shade of the tree, calm and gentle.

Jia Xuan said with a smile from afar: "Sister Lin is so interested, she can still read books at this time, and she is worthy of the name of a talented woman." ”

As soon as Lin Daiyu heard it, she knew that it was Sister Xuan who was coming, and she sneered without raising her head: "I don't know if a talented girl is a talented woman or not." But I know that if someone doesn't eat anymore, they will become hungry women, hungry and unable to walk. ”

Mrs. Jinxiang Hou couldn't help laughing: "You two sisters are interesting. ”

Lin Daiyu realized that there were still others there, and hurriedly looked over. After seeing it clearly, he put down the book and saluted: "I've seen Madame." ”

Mrs. Jinxianghou hurriedly helped her up.

Lin Daiyu asked people to bring the food that was specially left behind to Jia Xuan. Hearing that Mrs. Jinxiang Marquis didn't have a meal, she smiled and said, "It's a coincidence." I left some food for this girl who was hanging around, even if it was enough for three or four people. If Madame doesn't dislike it, it's better to use some together. ”

Mrs. Jinxiang Hou has seen too much of the world recently, thinking of Xue Pan's bastard and the so-called friendship of the men, and then looking at the affection of the girls in front of her, she felt that the girls were cute, so she took Lin Daiyu's hand and said: "Good boy, you are also thinking about Sister Xuan, I thank you for Sister Xuan." ”

Lin Daiyu smiled: "Madam, where is this?" I am closer to her than a sister, where will I be separated from her? ”

Mrs. Jinxianghou really regarded Sister Xuan as her own family, and secondly, she was so angry that she was dizzy by the bastard Xue, so she said such things. Thinking about it now, it seems that what I said is inappropriate, and he smiled: "What you say is reasonable." Today I will eat your meal, tomorrow I will be the east, please come to my house to eat. ”

Jia Xuan knew that Mrs. Hou was in a bad mood today, so she deliberately said on the side: "You only invite her and don't invite me, you are very partial, and I don't follow." ”

Mrs. Jinxiang Hou laughed: "Why don't you have your share?" I wish you were coming every day! When the time comes, I will arrange the time, and you and Miss Lin will come. Keep you eating and drinking well. ”

The matter was settled.

After eating, You Shi had already heard that Mrs. Hou was back, so she got up and dressed up and came over to greet her.

Mrs. Jinxiang Hou said: "Don't bother you. Originally, I couldn't say goodbye to you, if I hadn't thought that I hadn't said goodbye to you, I wouldn't have bothered you for your lunch break and would have gone home directly. After thinking about it, I really didn't have good manners, so I came back to bother. ”

You Shi hurriedly said: "You are too polite, you don't need to be like this." ”

Mrs. Jinxiang Hou said goodbye and left, and Jia Xuan and Lin Daiyu went to rest with the girls.

That night, there was a mess in Lixiangyuan, and three or four doctors were invited to the courtyard overnight.

Both Rongguo Mansion and Black Throttle sent people to ask what was going on and who was sick. Xue Baochai only said that she was unwell, so let everyone not worry.

But on the second day, many people had heard that Xue Pan was carried back to Lixiangyuan last night. At that time, there was only one breath, and there was more air out than in. I don't know if I can live or not.

Aunt Xue checked all night and didn't know who beat him like this, at most, she only heard that he provoked a gambling house opened by the king of Xining County today, and after lamenting, she could only swallow her anger and stop asking.

"Yes!" Xichun said to his sisters in private: "Xue drunkard has done too many evil things, so he has to be retributed like this!" ”

Several people quietly echoed each other.

For many days after that, Xue Baochai didn't come to Rongguo Mansion to make trouble with the sisters, and only cared about accompanying his mother and taking care of his brother in the yard. I think that Xue Pan was too seriously injured and still couldn't get up.

The sisters were very happy when they found out, and they went over to accompany Xue Baochai for a while from time to time, in fact, to make sure that Xue Pan was doing very unsatisfactory.

A few days later, the day before the scheduled invitation to Jia Xuan and Lin Daiyu, Mrs. Jinxiang suddenly said that she couldn't invite them because of something. The exact reason for this is not specified.

Jia Xuan felt that something was wrong, so he sent Chunzhi to inquire.

When Harukie returned, he said, "Originally, no one told me this. I remember that Zhu's mother liked the girl very much, so I found a way to meet Zhu's mother. said that he had died, and he had no time to be idle for a while. ”

When I wish my mother to say to Chunzhi, I was at a loss, and Chunzhi was a little confused when she heard it, and she was a little confused when she told the original words: "It is said that a small guy is dead, and the backyard is rotten." Everyone thinks that it was done by the prince who has not been in tune recently, but Mrs. Hou thinks it is not, but there is no evidence. ”

Jia Xuan listened to it with a pang in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he said to Guo's mother: "If you find someone to go to the Hou Mansion, it means that I will be a guest, and Miss Lin can't go if she has something." If Mrs. Hou refused, she said that I was not worried about her, and I had to go and see her, and she would have agreed as soon as possible. ”
