The Rose of the Red Chamber

Chapter 191

Tanchun remembered hearing from Baochai that Aunt Xue was going out to play with her on the southern tour, why hadn't she appeared in front of people?

Because of the crowd and various taboos, she didn't dare to inquire further, but if Aunt Xue and Bao Qin really came out together, they couldn't keep showing up.

Could it be that he didn't come, or is there any inconvenience?

Come, come, but there is no inconvenience.It's just that Aunt Xue kept a low profile and didn't have orders, so she didn't follow their family members much.

This is one, and the other is that no one invited the two of them to the party.

Who made these officials' wives and grandmas all be arrogant people.

Tanchun had something on his mind, so when he was having lunch, he was a little absent-minded.

After the meal was over and Xiaoer served tea, Tanchun decided to ask Zhao Huan to inquire about Aunt Xue.

It just so happened that Xue Dazi was still downstairs and hadn't gone far.

"Then Mrs. Xue is your daughter-in-law's real aunt. If she comes with you, you should also pay her respects." Maybe you can even take a look at your daughter-in-law.

Zhao Huan felt a little embarrassed when he heard Tan Chun's unfinished words, but he nodded and went out.

When we got downstairs, seeing the future brother-in-law who was listening to a book and drinking tea in the lobby, Zhao Huan stepped forward a few steps and said what he wanted to do in the future.

Xue Pan heard that this is his future little brother-in-law.He looked at Zhao Huan carefully, and then patted Zhao Huan on the shoulder with a smile, "Don't call me a princess, it's awkward to hear it, you can just call me big brother. That's what my younger sister calls me. Seeing how you look In this way, I know that you must be good at reading." He remembered that his mother said that this brother-in-law could read, and he was admitted to Juren at a young age.It shouldn't be a problem to praise him that much.

Zhao Huan: "...", what is the inevitable connection between appearance and reading?

He doesn't read much, so you can't fool him like this.

After that, without waiting for Zhao Huan's reaction, Xue Pan pulled Zhao Huan over and sat at his table, talking to him while listening to the storyteller in front of him.

After finally listening to this section, Xue Pan got up and prepared to take Zhao Huan back to the temporary house to meet his mother.

"Brother, wait a minute, little brother still needs to buy some filial things." Seeing that Xue Pan was pulling him back now, Zhao Huan said in a panic.

Xue Pan was suffocated by Zhao Huan's struggle, and turned around and said, "My family is an imperial merchant, and there are many things. How can you buy them back to show respect? Don't ask you to spend more on things sold by our family." Buy it for a few cents, and then send it back. Go, go, go, you scholars have too many things to do."

Xue Pan couldn't help what Zhao Huan said, and dragged him away.

Tanchun, who was standing on the second floor watching, almost fell down without laughing.

Where is her brother going to visit the elders of his daughter-in-law's natal family? It's clear that he's been kidnapped.

Ouch, how can this be good?

~ (￣ ▽ ￣) ~

By the way, Xue Pan's temper is no longer Aunt Xue's biggest worry.What worries Aunt Xue the most now is Miss Baochai's marriage.

Baoqin is going to get married this winter when little Baochai is a few years old, but Baochai's marriage is still not settled.

When she usually went to visit the wicked teacher, she also very much agreed to let Baochai and Baoyu make a pair.

But her own daughter is arrogant, she just doesn't look down on Baoyu, which makes Aunt Xue really helpless.

She also knew what kind of characters the girl could fall in love with.But would such a person really marry into a female household?

When thinking of Baoyu, one has to think of Feng Yuan of the Zhen family.

The size of Feng Yuan is also an official of the court.

Tell me, how come her daughter can't touch such a good thing.

Thinking of this, let alone her daughter, even she cannot accept this marriage calmly.

The Zhen family's Ying Lian can be compared with her daughter except for her appearance, but she can't compare with her daughter in other things.But she can get such a good marriage, but her daughter...

Alas, this is life.

In fact, at this time, Aunt Xue had given up on the idea of ​​getting closer to Baoyu.

What is the reason?

It was last month that Aunt Xue heard that Baoyu was ill, so she asked someone to get a car and hurried to visit Baoyu.

Although this is only her nephew, Aunt Xue also loves Baoyu.

So he deliberately took the post from Yizhong Prince's Mansion sent by his daughter-in-law and invited the imperial physician to see Baoyu.

Looking at it this way, you can see a big problem.

But guess what?

After the imperial doctor came, he looked at it carefully, and found that Baoyu's body had suffered losses in the early years.

It is said that when he was young, he used the medicine of tiger and wolf to hurt his body, and then he didn't take good care of it. It usually looks fine, but it hinders his heirs.If you want to get well, you still need years of careful nursing.

Aunt Xue heard a golden light before her eyes.

I was so dizzy that I almost didn't ask the imperial physician to make another visit.

If there are insufficient heirs, this marriage cannot be completed.Isn't the reason why she forced her daughter so reluctantly to have a child?

She also counted on her daughter to give birth to the next generation of the Xue family, so that this incense would not be broken.

Although Aunt Xue rejected Shuangbao's marriage from the bottom of her heart, she still took good care of Baoyu until she recovered, leaving behind the medicinal materials that the imperial doctor said needed to be recuperated, and then returned home.After that came the matter of Yujia's southern tour.

Baochai was speechless when she saw that her mother had looked like the sky had fallen since Baoyu fell ill.He quickly sent her and Baoqin to Yizhong Prince's Mansion, and asked the two to go out with the largest tour group in the country for a while.

And she was finally able to do business on and off for a few days.

She is also eager to have a child, but she really doesn't want to get married now.

Not having a suitable person is one reason, and the most important reason is that she has become too independent in the days of monopolizing power in the past few years.

If a woman who already has her own thoughts does not really love and respect her husband, such a married life will not be happy.

Over the years, as Baochai grew older and the Xue family prospered, her requirements for choosing a spouse dropped again and again, but no matter how low she was, she was unwilling to wrong herself to make do with it.

So this question not only made Aunt Xue angry, but Baochai herself also had a headache.

... Here at Baochai, she has already prepared for the worst.If it doesn't work, just find a man who is pleasing to the eye and have a child.

Baochai made up her mind, put the matter aside, and still put the Xue family's business in the first place every day.

Xue Pan is a big-hearted person, and some of his cronies and princes in the capital who need the wealth of Xue's family to buy officials also want to get close to Baochai through Xue Pan.

But after getting to know Xue Pan's true nature after some contact, everyone retreated one after another.

That is a mallet that cannot be mastered.

The emperor is really wise, this family is really a son and should be married off, otherwise the Xue family will be defeated.

Thinking of Xue Baochai's shrewdness, Xue Biao's methods, and the capabilities of the previous Xue family heads.Seeing Xue Pan like this, everyone began to wonder if everyone in the Xue family had borrowed some of Xue Pan's brains in several lifetimes.

Then borrow a little brain and add a little tofu.

╮(￣▽￣)╭

On this side, after Zhao Huan was dragged back to the temporary residence by Xue Pansheng, Zhao Huan had no choice but to arrange his clothes and greet Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue looked at the talented Zhao Huan and was very satisfied.

This time, the young master of the Mei family has lost his reputation.

It deserves them to be treacherous.

This time it's all right, she can be regarded as having an explanation to her younger siblings.

"Huan'er doesn't need to talk about those rules when you come to Auntie. Sit down, sit down." After calling people to serve tea, Aunt Xue said again, "I heard that you won the exam, and the whole family is happy for you. Your Majesty Elder sister also specially sent someone to congratulate you, have you received everything?"

Zhao Huan nodded cautiously, "Thank you Auntie and Big Sister for thinking about it, and thank her too." Knowing what Aunt Xue was referring to, Zhao Huan felt sweet.

Seeing this, Aunt Xue also laughed.

The other congratulatory gifts are worthless, but there is also a blessing purse made by Qin girl herself.

"I haven't seen my aunt for a long time, and I don't know that my aunt is here too. I just came to say hello now, and please don't blame my aunt."

"What's the matter? Our mother and I were in the carriage all the way, and we were very tired after getting off the carriage. If we couldn't come out and walk around, how would you know?"

"The holy car is here, and I dare to send someone to inquire about it. But fortunately, I met my elder brother today, and I will see him more in the future. My sister and Mrs. Shunchang Hou also said that if my aunt came, I would like to find a time to come and visit What about you. I don’t know when it’s convenient for Auntie?”

Aunt Xue just ordered her servants to bring up the fruit snacks that Si Qing brought yesterday, when she heard Zhao Huan say this, she smiled kindly, "It's convenient anytime, just let your sister come over. We are all from our own family. Relatives, don't pay attention to those false etiquette."

Zhao Huan listened and said yes with a smile.

Aunt Xue is a really kind and loving elder. She is not the type of Mrs. Wang who is kind on the outside but cruel on the inside.

Aunt Xue is the youngest daughter of the Wang family. Before she got married, her brothers and sisters treated her politely.After she got married, she was always respected by her husband's family because she was a daughter of the Wang family. They were afraid that she would go back to her mother's family to sue if her life was not going well.

After her husband died, she entered the capital.Before waiting for the day of suffering, the girl held the entire Xue family in her hands.

She had a better day.

When people's lives are going well, there will be two results.

Either they are tossing around for nothing, or they are just enjoying themselves.

Obviously, Aunt Xue is the latter.

Each kind of person chooses a different life, and her spirit is also different.Although he hadn't seen Aunt Xue much, Zhao Huan had a good impression of Aunt Xue.

When Aunt Xue saw Zhao Huan coming, she was very enthusiastic. Although she knew that Zhao Huan had had lunch in the restaurant, she still let him have dinner before letting him go back.

During the period, Aunt Xue thought that he and Baoqin were also engaged to be married, and they got married in winter, so she specially called Baoqin out to let the two of them talk.

Baoqin is really beautiful, Zhao Huan looked at his little daughter-in-law, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

He thought that if she also cleaned up her brother-in-law with her sister, and Mrs. Hou could handle Master Hou, he thought he would do what she wanted.

How can we know that it is not a blessing if it is a blessing in disguise.Since breaking off the engagement with the Mei family, Bao Qin has become more and more satisfied with Zhao Huan and the Zhao family.

Knowing that he won the exam this year, she couldn't help but feel glad that she nodded and agreed to the decision of this marriage.

"...The purse is very delicate, I always carry it with me. Please don't worry about it." Looking at the four open windows and doors, and then at the room with only the two of them, Zhao Huan took it from his sleeve. He took out a small fragrant wood fan and handed it to Baoqin.

"This is my return gift." The proposal to prepare the fan was suggested by the cousin-in-law.He said that he gave his sister two fans back then, and his sister was so touched that she couldn't help herself.

Although he didn't know what his sister was so moved that he couldn't help himself, and although he also felt that an unreliable brother-in-law might not be able to come up with a reliable idea, after he rummaged through all his sister's notebooks, he found that giving a fan was also a matter. Quite a poetic thing.

His sister said that carving some hairpins and rings by herself is vulgar, too vulgar.

They are not professional, and they don't have talent and good craftsmanship. They waste good materials and make people unable to wear them.It's better to send some economical and practical items that can preserve their value.

So Zhao Huan invited the most famous stone nerd in the capital to make this fragrant wood fan himself.

His words and ink are engraved on it, which looks delicate and sincere.

Stone nerd not only passed down several good fans in his family, but he was also able to make a good fan himself. Because of this good skill, he got the protection of Chang Tuo and others who also love elegance.

Therefore, he not only kept the family-handed fan, but also made a few good fans every year and sent them to the palace through Chang Tuo's hands. No one really dared to do anything to him in this capital.

......

Zhao Huan was talking with Baoqin's young children, but Tanchun found out that she might really be against Jinan.

The author has something to say: I think if Aunt Xue was not good, Mother Jia would not let her take care of Daiyu when she was out, especially during the banquet.
