Chapter 190 Lin Hai 53

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang arrived early with Baoyu, and Xue Pan wanted to take Baoyu to play. Aunt Xue said, "It's freezing cold, don't go outside to play, and have a good talk with your aunt and cousin in the room."

A half-grown boy like Xue Pan couldn't bear to sit in the room at first.But Xue Pan, although he doesn't like to study, is doted on by Aunt Xue to the point of becoming a dandy, but he is extremely filial to his mother.Aunt Xue kept him like this, so she had to sit down with Baoyu patiently, and she could sit down when Mrs. Wang praised her sister Baochai.But after a while, seeing Baoyu staring at his sister's face, he felt uncomfortable and wanted to drag Baoyu to play in his room.

Where would Baoyu be willing to go? Since he moved, there are only Yuanyang, Xiren, Qingwen, and Sheyue in front of him.The grandmother will never be seen again, the master said that if he finds out that he dares to make rouge for the maid again, or eat the rouge of the maid, he will change all the servants to serve him.The last time I was at Wang's house, I finally saw my cousins, but was dragged away by Xue Pan.This time he saw the beautiful and elegant sister Bao again, he couldn't get enough of it, so why was he willing to go out with Xue Pan.The more Xue Pan pulled him away, the more he grabbed Aunt Xue's sleeve and would not let go.

Mrs. Wang smiled and watched Xue Pan and his son quarreling around their younger sister, sitting with Baochai beside her, and asked Baochai, who will be 11 years old this year, what she does at home and what toys she likes.Wei Liai sighed and said to Aunt Xue: "Sister, when you go in from Yuanchun, you want to win my heart, and there is no time to give up. You can see that Baochai's gentle and generous temper is very similar to my unseen one." Yuanchun. My sister, Liu Baochai, will stay with me for a while?"

Xue Pan replied directly: "Not good. Mom, Dad won't agree to leave my sister alone in Beijing."

"Pan'er, I'm your own aunt, how can I wrong your sister?"

Xue Pan just shook his head in disagreement.

Xue Jin chatted with Jia Zheng in the study for a while, the sour brother-in-law who regarded Jia Zheng as uncommon and self-important, socialized patiently.Speaking of Enke Chunwei, Jia Zheng told Xue Jin in detail about Lin Haizhang's proposal to postpone it.

"My sister-in-law is also thinking about the exams in the world. It's cold and snowy this year. If the exam is held in early February as usual, many people will get sick from the cold." Especially Lin Hai who has won the test.This time I was transferred to the Ministry of Rites and was promoted to a fourth-rank doctor, and I was even more grateful for Lin Hai's support and support.

"Master Lin can be so thoughtful about raising a son, he is really a pillar of the country. Will my brother-in-law and Master Lin be examiners?"

"The chief examiner has not yet decided who it is, but I heard that the examiners in each room are almost the same."

As soon as Xue Jin heard it, he knew that Jia Zheng didn't know about the examiners in each house, but what about Lin Hai, he was the minister of the Ministry of Rites, should he go to Lin's mansion again?As he thought so, the long follower who usually followed came in to bring you some refreshments. Xue Jin knew that he had something urgent to tell him.So he sent his servant to invite his younger brother Xue Xun, and asked his son and Baoyu to come over.

"Brother-in-law, I don't speak foreign language with you. I haven't read much, and I'm just a scholar who barely got into school. My younger brother Xue Xun is a real man, and I will definitely be able to chat with you. Let Pan'er and Baoyu go together Listen, let's get to know you a lot."

Jia Zheng had never been able to go to school, but he thought that he hadn't had the opportunity. If he hadn't been kind, he would have passed the imperial examination.Hearing that Xue Jin introduced his younger brother as Juren, he immediately politely asked Xue Jin to invite Xue Xun to meet him.

When Baoyu heard that his uncle and father had told him to go to the front, he didn't dare to argue with Aunt Xue anymore, so he had to follow Xue Pan to the study.After a while, Xue Xun came over.

He was originally the youngest son, and the family business was inherited by the eldest brother. The two brothers have a mother and a fellow countryman, and they have a good relationship.People are smart and can learn, so they passed the Juren examination early, so that it is convenient for them to meet officials or play around.For Xue Xun, the intention of accompanying his elder brother to Beijing this time was for fun. After his eldest sister-in-law got involved in the disputes between the Jia family and the Lin family, the elder sister-in-law's family let go, and the Jia family and the Lin family put pressure on his brother, he realized that there was nothing wrong with him. Raising people is not enough.In the face of power, their Xue family is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.So after returning from Lin's mansion, he picked up the books and studied hard.

Xue Jin sent someone to tell him that Jia Zheng, the brother-in-law of the Jia family and a fourth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Rites, had come and asked him to go and see him.Xue Xun came over excitedly, and he could chat with Jia Zheng. From time to time, Xue Xun even asked Baoyu a few words and praised him.Seeing someone accompanying Jia Zheng, Xue Jin apologized, got up and left the study.

"Master, there is a message from the palace that the eldest daughter of the Jia family won a nobleman yesterday without being favored."

Xue Jin was taken aback for a moment, then nodded to show that he understood.Jin was conferred in Yuanchun, Jia Amnesty was promoted and the Marquis was promoted, and Jia Zheng was also promoted.Looking at the current state of the Jia family, I'm afraid they still don't know about Yuan Chun's promotion.Are you going to tell them now?Do you want to do what you promised?Do you want to do it?

Xue Jin wavered about his original plan.

Xue Pan saw that his second uncle had a good chat with Jia Zheng and his son, so he sneaked out to find Xue Jin and said, "Daddy, I don't like my aunt. She wants to keep my sister to live with her in Beijing. Baoyu's eyes can't wait to grow on my sister's face." " Xue Jin now has very complicated feelings for his only son, and whoever guesses that this son is his own reminder will never treat his son the same way as before.But although this son is not a motivated unicorn, he is second to none in being filial to his parents and caring for his younger sister.

Hearing what his son said, Xue Jin had a thought, and patted his son on the shoulder, "Talk like a child. Go in and listen to your uncle and second uncle's conversation, and improve yourself."

Xue Jin said it gently, Xue Pan knew his father didn't care, "Daddy, we won't keep my sister in Beijing."

Xue Jin was perfunctory to his son, "It's all a polite way of speaking among relatives, it can't be taken seriously." He coaxed Xue Pan back.Turning around, he ordered the kitchen to serve a bowl of bloody bird's nest porridge to the female family members.

The maid who served the porridge said it coincidentally, "Master ordered, my uncle and his family haven't arrived yet, so I'm afraid it will be late for lunch. This is the best bird's nest, please make some for my aunt and wife first."

Mrs. Wang experienced her younger sister's panic on the second day of junior high school. She didn't want to come to Xue's house, but her younger sister was obviously hiding something about her.But Jia Zheng has resigned from Qingke since he moved. He has no contact with his colleagues in the Ministry of Industry on weekdays. Except to see the old lady, the nobles who used to represent the Rongguo Mansion no longer handed them posts. The capital has nowhere to go can go.So Jia Zheng advocated going to Xue's house, and her brother came, so she followed Jia Zheng.

The servant girl brought a bowl to Mrs. Wang first. Mrs. Wang took the porridge and said with a smile: "This bird's nest looks good." She turned and gave it to Baochai, "You are easy to get hungry, drink it first."

The maid had already handed the second bowl to his wife. Aunt Xue smiled and said, "My sister loves my niece, so it's not too late. My son, you take it, it's your aunt who loves you." I handed the one in my hand to my sister.

Baochai took the porridge bowl, and the servant girl gave the remaining bowl to her wife. Seeing that all three were enjoying themselves, she backed away.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng brought her daughter late.As soon as he came in, he said: "Brother-in-law, younger sister, I have to go out in the morning. Someone asked your elder brother to do business. After waiting for a long time, I sent a message saying that I don't need to wait for him. I don't know when it will be finished."

The Xue family saw that Wang Ziteng might not come, so they didn't wait any longer, and divided the seats between men and women, and celebrated the Lantern Festival.

After lunch, several children went to chat together, Madam Wang said to Xue Jin: "Brother-in-law, I really like Baochai, can you stay with me in Beijing for a few months, when you come to Beijing again Pick up again?"

Xue Jin said with a smile: "I'm afraid her mother won't let it go, and her mother and son are always at home on weekdays."

Mrs. Wang went to hold her sister's hand, "My dear sister, you should feel sorry for my sister."

Aunt Xue looked at her husband hesitantly, and seeing Xue Jin nodding, she smiled and said, "Since my sister said so, I will stay in Beijing to accompany you, and my master will come to pick you up next time when he comes to Beijing."

Mrs. Wang was very happy to see her husband and wife agreed.

But Xue Jin said: "My second brother stayed in Beijing to prepare for the exam, and my younger brother and sister arrived with their children. I left Pan'er in Beijing to accompany his sister. Pan'er's child is a bit stubborn, and I have to ask my brother-in-law and elder brother to take care of him when he is free." .”

Jia Zheng agreed, feeling in his heart that his uncle Xue Xun was in Beijing, and he could take care of it.Wang Ziteng's wife, Shi Shi, responded with a smile, thinking that Wang Ziteng is so busy that his own daughter is rarely seen, so there is no time to discipline his nephew.

After seeing off the guests, Aunt Xue was quite reluctant to let her son and daughter stay in the capital, "Master, this Pan'er is stupid, and Baochai is not very big. How can I rest assured that they are all staying in the capital?"

Xue Jin hesitated and said: "Why don't you stay too, anyway, when I go back to Jinling, I have to run around to check on the family business. Rather than you staying in Jinling alone, it's better to stay in Beijing to take care of the children. I'll come back when the weather is warmer." Take the three of you, mother and son, back together."

Aunt Xue thought about it the same way, nodded in agreement, and felt sorry for her husband, "My master will go back alone. This journey of thousands of miles is a bit lonely, but you must always take care of yourself."

Xue Jin smiled, "I've been traveling all these years, and I'm used to it. Besides, there are so many guys following me. You can't pay attention to what your sister did in Beijing anymore. If she wants those things again If you don’t want the medicine, just say that I was afraid of getting into trouble and burned the prescription and so on. It took so much to suppress the matter. Do you remember?”

Aunt Xue nodded hurriedly, "I remember, I remember. Never again." Xue Jin told Jia Amnesty and Lin Hai that they each had [-]% shares. Son, so tired that my husband bowed his head in front of others and broke his fortune.

…………

Lin Hai received a note from Jia Amnesty yesterday, so he sent Lin Cheng to Yushitai and several colleagues who had been friends with him in the past to send a note, inviting them to come to the house tomorrow to enjoy the lantern.After returning to the mansion, he sent Lin Jin back to Jia Yucun for the Shangyuan Festival, and asked Lin Jin to tell him in detail about the beating of Jia Amnesty by the son of Duke Shan.

On this day, Lin Hai was so busy that it was about the time of Haizheng on the Shangyuan Festival, so he sent away several former colleagues, and returned to the backyard exhaustedly, pressing his forehead that was throbbing with pain.
