Aunt Xue came to see Mrs. Wang one day, and when she talked about Xue Baoqin, she said: "I came here to discuss it once when I first went abroad to mourn, but now it's silent again, so people really don't know what to say."

Mrs. Wang said: "Yesterday, the old lady was still talking about her. You can bring her here and stay with me for a while. It's not in vain that I recognize this daughter."

When Aunt Xue said about Baoqin, she wanted to ask Mrs. Wang to take care of her. Seeing what Mrs. Wang said, she was naturally overjoyed, and even explained that she would send her to live here the next day.

Two days later, Aunt Xue and Baochai Baoqin came to Jia's mansion together, and they all went to Jia Mu to talk and laugh.Jia Mu was also very happy to see them, and said with a smile: "She also said that she would come to see me often after moving out. It can be seen that she is coaxing me, an old lady! How long has it been since you came here? I told them a few days ago Well, these one and the two are busy on their own, how can they remember us!"

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "We also want to come to accompany the old lady often. Although I am a bit stupid, I am afraid that it is rare for the old lady to smile. As long as I sit for a while without talking, it is good to be blessed by the old lady."

Since the news of Yuanchun's pregnancy came out, the number of visitors to Jia's mansion increased greatly, and there were so many detours that they almost couldn't receive them.I'm afraid that I'll lose my manners if I don't entertain well, and I'm tired of Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng.Even Jia's mother also met some old sisters very much.Listening to Aunt Xue talking about it now, I couldn't help smiling.

After dinner with Jia Mu, Aunt Xue took Baochai and resigned because of the complicated family affairs, leaving only Baoqin.

They only stayed for two days, and Xue Biao sent someone to pick them up, saying that there were people from the south, and Jiamu couldn't stay longer, so she asked Amber to find a few more gadgets to bring to Baoqin, and told her to be free. Just come and visit more.Baoqin resigned from Mrs. Wang, and then went to Che's house.

When I got home, I didn't see any guests, so I felt strange, so I went to her sister-in-law.Xing Xiuyan had just finished handling a few housework, and when she saw her back, she let the two ladies in charge go down first.Baoqin said: "Sister-in-law misses me? I've only been away for two days, and I've thought of a way to lure me back!"

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said: "What's the matter, are you still staying there?"

Baoqin tilted her head: "The golden house and the silver house are not as good as my own thatched cottage. Although it is good there, what is there to live in. I really have to go, but my aunt is also worried about my affairs. If I twist I don’t know what’s good or bad.”

Xing Xiuyan nodded and sighed with a smile: "Auntie didn't love you for nothing."

Baoqin still looked at Xing Xiuyan and didn't speak. Xing Xiuyan knew that there was no way to explain it, so she said: "Something happened to my uncle's family, and it has something to do with the mansion over there. Your brother is worried that you will find out there. It’s better to come home.”

Baoqin hurriedly asked what happened, and Xing Xiuyan told her in detail.

Xue Pan hadn't lived a quiet life since Third Sister You entered the house. Xia Jingui and Third Sister You were fierce and fierce, one wanted to use his status as the main wife to make a point, and the other poked her in the stomach that she couldn't conceive.So you come and go, where is the peace?Poor Xia Jingui, who thought that her mother-in-law and husband-in-law were eaten to death, and then took control of the concubine, it was time to stabilize her position.Who would have thought that such a bastard would come.

Although Xia Jingui is pungent, she is a lady from the imperial merchant's family, how can she be compared with Miss You, who came out of several places?In the past, her few words made Aunt Xue dizzy with anger, and even made Xiangling Yinger afraid to listen, but now it's all right.Her shameless words are like child's play in front of Third Sister You, why can't Third Sister You say it?From male to female, from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, the scolding was not repeated, Xia Jingui's complexion turned black, and he was not an opponent.

And she is a scheming person, as she was when she calculated Xiangling back then.Now he repeats his old tricks against Third Sister You, using some kind of doll from Nightmare Town to signal that Third Sister You wants to kill her.Third Sister You took the sword and rushed into her room, held the sword to her neck and said: "Grandma wants your life, don't bother me so much! Stop playing tricks on these disgusting people with me! If you get annoyed, you will pay for your life." Fuck!" Xia Jingui was so frightened that she almost lost control of herself.In the past, she was secretly fortunate that Aunt Xue was soft, but now she wished she had a tough mother-in-law to support her!It's a pity that Aunt Xue had a headache from the anger of the two of them, so she went to rest inside.

So many times, no one can please.Although Xia Jingui had nothing to do with words and tricks, Third Sister You, fortunately, she had a rich dowry and often used things to win over others, but there was no other way.Third Sister You didn't take this seriously, and she didn't care for flattery anyway, as long as she wanted to order someone around, she would beat anyone who dared to show face.Where the title of master and servant is, what can I do with her? !

The two of them are connected with Xiang Ling who is silent but more and more attracted to Xue Pan's mind, and they form a three-legged confrontation.It is also a strange story through the ages to find another peace in this endless noise.

As long as Xiangling's shell is pushed up by Yaoyao, it's not a good life.She managed to get Third Sister You to come in to annoy Xia Jingui. Seeing the lively fight between the two, she was very happy to see it here.After a long time, I feel boring again.And one more thing, she wants to restore the soul, originally with the idea of ​​picking up Xue Pan.But Xue Pan has always been sensual, and now that she has You San, she has gone to the other end. She is not enough here, so she has to move some other ideas.

This day she secretly urged Xue Pan to take her out to play tricks.Xue Pan got an invitation from Jia Rong that day, saying that he had a few new acquaintances who wanted to introduce him to him. Since he was going to Ning Mansion and Xiang Ling often went there, he simply took her there.

The door of the Ning Mansion has always been like that. You Shi went to the front to overhear Jia Zhen and their jokes when they returned the night before.Xiangling is already outstanding in color, when Zhou Rui's family saw it when she first got her hair back that day, she said that she had the character of a grandma in Dongfu.Grandma Dongfu, that is the Qin family, this is the dusty fetus of the police fantasy girl, can it be mediocre?What's more, now that it's grown, and possessed by a thousand-year-old fox demon, it's charming with every frown and smile.She was thinking of picking another Yangbu cauldron, so she cast a little charm on the one in the middle with extraordinary luck, and the result can be imagined.

That person drew the beautiful image in his head when he went back, and put it in the study to meet each other every day.He was originally from the lineage of the Prince of Xining, so he came to Jia's mansion to inquire about news.But now he couldn't bring himself to be so energetic, and he really got on good terms with Xue Pan.After a few times, he proposed to take a pair of twin sisters Huawen Xue Pan in exchange for Xiangling.Xue Pan naturally refused, and now Xiang Ling is not only a woman in Xue Pan's heart, but also almost a confidant, where he can give in at will, if they can't discuss it, they will naturally break up.

Later, something happened in the inner court, and Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were implicated. Xue Pan, who had always been close to the Ning Mansion, went to comfort him.For some reason, the wine was so good that he lost his weight in his hand, and opened a ladle of a son of the captain's family.It was fine when it was carried home, but it developed a high fever in the middle of the night, the family naturally refused to let it go lightly, so they went to Ning Mansion to ask for an explanation.

At that time, everyone was drinking too much, and it was difficult to hide it, so Xue Pan was pushed out.Xue Biao found out about this, so he hurried back to tell Xing Xiuyan, and then hurriedly went outside to find someone to inquire about.Xing Xiuyan felt that it was inappropriate for Baoqin to stay there at this time, so she asked someone to pick it up.

Baoqin frowned when she heard what was going on, and said, "Sister-in-law doesn't know, I used to live there, and I heard that the next door is very shameful. It's just how many generations have passed, and the old lady is getting old, no one can care about it. Big brother It's still close to that side, even if it's good with Baoyu, it's just reading books and learning together, even if you can only learn a little bit, it's still beneficial. I prefer to hang out with that screwdriver who doesn't make much progress. What to say!"

Xing Xiuyan patted her: "You said it's difficult to control over there, isn't it the same here? You have seen the world with the master, and your brother has suffered and knows that the world is difficult, so it is different. It's just that this person talks about himself. Words, one person's experience, persuasion is useless, because he will not be there, no matter how much you say, he will not understand."

Baoqin nodded and sighed when she heard the words: "Sister-in-law is right, I just hope he knows what's good and what's bad after this time, so as to save my aunt from worrying all year round."

How can Aunt Xue be worried at this time?Just not crazy.Xue Biao went outside to inquire about the news for a few days, but he never leaked any news.Now that the capital has just changed a large number of people, they have not smoothed out which side of the road they are on, and the roads they used to walk are no longer easy to use.How many banknotes were taken out, but few dared to stretch out their hands.Therefore, since Xue Pan was taken away, the family has never even gone in to see each other. How could Aunt Xue not be in a hurry.

That day, after Xue Biao came early in the morning, she still went outside. Aunt Xue didn't have the heart to do anything else, so she waited for the news at home.After a while, the porter came to report that a beaded woman had come outside, and she wanted to find her wife for something important.These beaded women are usually merchants. They are doing business at home, and sometimes they get good things, and those who don't know how to sell them can't sell them at a high price.He came and went frequently, and became a regular customer, and he could also tell some interesting things about the outside world to the women in the inner courtyard who couldn't go out all the year round, which was a way of entertainment in the inner courtyard.

Aunt Xue was very anxious, and it was not easy to sit for a long day. When she heard that she had something important to ask the head wife, she simply asked people to come in.The beaded woman walked the whole way calmly, and when she met Aunt Xue, she had strict etiquette, which was quite different from the few she used to frequent.Only Aunt Xue couldn't think about it for a while, so how could she notice so much.

The woman showed two things to Aunt Xue, and after talking for a while, they got to know each other a little better, then the woman suddenly changed the topic and said: "I heard that the family has been imprisoned recently, I don't know if this is really the case ?”

Aunt Xue was taken aback, looked at the woman and said, "You just said you were looking for me, could it be this?"

The woman smiled calmly and said: "Little lady has no such ability, she doesn't even know where the yamen is open. But the little lady knows a few nobles in the streets and alleys. The little lady also knows the truth I don’t understand, I only know the rules of doing business, one in and one out, madam, think about it, is this reasonable?”

Aunt Xue was confused when she heard it, and she wanted to call Baochai out, but she was afraid that this woman came from a wrong way, and she might not be seen.He had no choice but to say: "I don't understand your words either. If you can really help me, just ask how much money you have."

The woman hurriedly shook her head: "The little lady is selling two bead flowers, so she has no such ability. However, if you have an idea, you might as well share it with your wife. If your wife can send someone to that nobleman, it will naturally speak up Are you afraid that nothing will loosen?"

The more Aunt Xue thought about it, the more suspicious she became, so she held back and asked her: "Oh? But I don't know who in our family can fall into the eyes of the nobleman?"

The woman said with joy on her face: "Is it possible to want the wife's heart? Then the nobleman is not a nobleman anymore. But there are concubines who are good-looking, and they are also playthings anyway, and it is common to give one to others. The nobleman likes it." Generally, I like the one with a bit of rouge on the forehead between the brows the most, the wife knows it well."

Aunt Xue only felt her head buzzing, and there were thousands of noises in her ears at once, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, okay, okay, so the root of the trouble is here! I said how could I commit such a crime?" Disaster!"

Seeing her like this, the woman was a little panicked. She was afraid that the old lady would be angry, so she hurriedly said: "Madam, there is no need to be angry. The way is under your feet. It depends on whether you can go or not. The little woman's words are also Here, if my wife wants to, just tell me to go to the Pingrui silk and satin shop ahead, and the little lady will come to pick you up." After looking at Aunt Xue's expression, Gu picked up the basket and went.

Baochai listened to the letter inside, and hurried over to see Aunt Xue. Seeing that Aunt Xue looked unwell, she hurriedly asked someone to bring longan reassuring soup to serve her and drank a few sips.Aunt Xue regained her composure, told what happened just now, and said angrily when she finished, "I just said that girl Xiangling is a curse! She took her life that day, and she's even better now, I don't know if she hooked up with her Who is it, Pan'er..." Before he could finish speaking, he began to shed tears again.

Baochai frowned and thought about it for a long time, but couldn't come up with an idea, so she asked Aunt Xue, "What is Mom going to do?"

Aunt Xue said angrily: "What can I do?! If you want me to say it, just beat him to death and finish it! Don't hurt anyone!"

Baochai sighed and said, "Mom, don't be angry. We didn't know the truth of the matter at first, but a woman came to the door and said that if we gave up Xiangling, brother would be fine. Can you believe this? Second, if the matter is true, we might offend them by disposing of Xiangling, and my brother should suffer even more."

When Aunt Xue heard that she was right, she asked, "Then what do you think should be done?"

Baochai said: "First you need to know whether what the woman said is true or not, and then make plans."

Aunt Xue nodded after hearing this, she asked people to go to the silk and satin village immediately to find someone without delay.After listening to Taoism, the silk and satin village will send a message.But after a meal, the woman came to the door again.Baochai was sitting behind the screen, and Aunt Xue was talking to the woman in front, and she didn't bother to go around with her any more. She just spoke empty words that were hard to believe. The woman bowed her head and thought for a while before returning to them the next day.

The next day, the woman came to the door again, but told them to send someone to go with her, so that they could meet Xue Pan in the prison.Aunt Xue was overjoyed, and Xue Biao was not around at this time, so she sent an old shopkeeper to follow.After turning around for half a day, I saw Xue Pan, and said that the cell where the uncle lived was also okay, and he didn't suffer any crimes.Only now did Aunt Xue believe the woman's words, and she said that she would come over to lead the man tomorrow.

Aunt Xue and Baochai were still hesitant. After all, Xiangling had other affairs, but now that Xue Pan was in prison waiting to be replaced, there was no room for them to maneuver.So he called Xiangling to him and gave him a few words of restraint, and then handed it over to the woman to take away the next day.
