dream of red mansion

Chapter 383 Impeachment
Although Aunt Xue kept saying that Xue Pan's disaster was resolved by her...

However, she is not a monk or Taoist priest, so how can she talk about resolving it?It can only be explained that she is extremely afraid that something bad will happen to Xue Pan!It is not so much for Baochai to listen to, as it is to comfort her, or to say that she would rather have some of it herself than let Xue Pan get involved in these sinister retribution!
Therefore, Xue Baochai went a step further to explain the Tao.It is directly said that the retribution is on the kidnapper, and her family is benefiting...

In fact, judging from the current results, this is really the case.Xiangling is indeed much better than living in the kidnapper's hands...

Of course, Feng, who was beaten to death, was taken advantage of and will not be mentioned.

Whenever Aunt Xue heard Xue Baochai's words, she was always relieved easily.What's more, about the matter of gods and ghosts, what I wanted was a peace of mind. After thinking about it, I felt that I really had nothing to do to Xiang Ling, so I let it go, and said instead:

"Your second uncle sent me another letter, saying that he will bring your little sister to Beijing this month..."

Baochai asked, "Are they going to Beijing too? What is it for?"

"Your second uncle came to Beijing this time because of your little sister's engagement."

"Engaged? Who did the second uncle make Baoqin?"

"It's the young master of Mei Hanlin's family in Jingzhong, because his family holds a position in the imperial court, and your second uncle is doing business all year round, so he has no free time on weekdays.

So, your second uncle wants to take advantage of this time, bring your little sister to Beijing, and handle the engagement matters. "

Baochai said, "Well, this is a good thing."

Hanlin has an extremely noble status.In the imperial examination held every three years, among the nearly 300 candidates on the gold list, only the top two ranks are eligible to enter the Imperial Academy.The Imperial Academy was also the cradle where the highest-level scholars gathered in ancient times, and it is not an exaggeration to be called the ivory tower of scholars.

"Of course this is a good thing. It's just that your second uncle hasn't met the young master of the Mei family. Although he heard that he is very good, but he hasn't seen it in person, he is unavoidably worried. So, please ask me to help him find out in advance and let him Make preparations first." Aunt Xue said.

Baochai said, "You just leave it to your brother to handle it."

Aunt Xue said: "That's not right, you don't know what kind of temperament your brother is? After drinking a drink, no matter what he is, he will become a brother! If he goes to inquire, if it is the same, if he doesn't find out first, if there is something wrong with him What's wrong, didn't it hurt your sister?"

Baochai said: "This is easy to handle. Mom will go and talk to my aunt, and then ask my aunt to help inquire about it. Isn't it all right?"

Aunt Xue thought about it, maybe Jia Zheng is really the only one who can help with this, so she said: "Alright, I just heard that your brother Bao has not been feeling well these two days, you and I can go over and have a look."

"it is good."

……

Because Jia's family was building a family-speaking garden, although the Lixiangyuan was not completely demolished, an old wall was to be demolished, and a new wall was erected as the outer wall of the garden.Coupled with the fact that there were many things going on in Jia's mansion at this time, Aunt Xue thought that if she bothered Mrs. Wang to choose another courtyard in Rongguo mansion to live with her mother and son, it would be too intrusive and superficial.

But Mrs. Wang insisted not to let her move back to her house on the grounds of her sister's love.In addition, she also wanted to use the power of Jia Zheng as her uncle to intimidate Xue Pan, so she delayed it.

It just so happened that there was a family outside the northeast corner of Rongguo Mansion who needed to move back to their place of origin due to business, and they didn't expect to return within a few years, so they intended to resell the house.

So Aunt Xue took advantage of the situation and bought it.

Mrs. Wang saw that Aunt Xue insisted on moving out, and now she doesn't need to move back to the original house, she just moved from inside the mansion to outside the mansion, just across the street.It is also equivalent to living with each other, which is what Aunt Xue wanted.

Therefore, Xue's family moved out of Lixiangyuan two months ago and moved into this house in the northeast of Rongguo Mansion.

After leaving the back door, if you walk along the wide private alleyway, you will find the East Corner Gate of Rongguo Mansion within a few steps.It's just that there is construction going on inside at this time, so it's not easy to pass through, so the mother and daughter walked out of the alley, along the back street of Rongguo Mansion, walked about a stone's throw away, entered Rongguo Mansion from the north gate, and then bypassed Jiamu all the way The back flower hall, from Jiamu's backyard to Mrs. Wang's courtyard.

In Mrs. Wang's room, Mrs. Wang was talking to Wang Xifeng.Seeing Aunt Xue, mother and daughter coming in, they hurriedly greeted them.

"Auntie, please talk well, I'll go back first."

After saying a few words casually, Wang Xifeng began to leave.

Aunt Xue said: "Be careful, you are a healthy person now, don't be careless!"

Wang Xifeng said heartily: "Understood, Aunt Xie cares about me."

Mrs. Wang also said: "Ping'er, it's good to serve your grandma, so don't stumble over it!"

"Yes."

"Look at what my aunt and wife said, how can I be such a delicate person? Besides, it's too early!"

Aunt Xue said: "It's getting late, it's been three or four months, if you don't know how to cultivate and cherish it, what if something goes wrong?"

"Your aunt is right. It's fine on weekdays. Now you don't need to run any more. I'll just go back and forth..."

Seeing the two aunts entrusting them one after another, Wang Xifeng stopped insisting, touched her belly that had begun to swell, and a sense of responsibility as a mother was born spontaneously, and she replied obediently: "Okay, I will listen to my aunt and wife. That's it."

Aunt Xue told Baochai, "You can help me to watch."

"it is good."

When Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai left, Aunt Xue said, "What happened? Why did Feng girl come out with her body supported?"

Mrs. Wang didn't expect Aunt Xue to be so perceptive, she hesitated for a moment, and said:
"Originally, it's not easy to tell my sister about such things, but since my sister asked, I have no choice but to tell the truth."

Aunt Xue didn't expect that something really happened, so she said, "What's the matter?"

"Just now there was news from outside that the current Minister of Rites, Mr. Wang Xianjue, the left servant, committed suicide in his own home last night!"

"There is such a thing?" Aunt Xue didn't expect it at all.How could a dignified court official from the second rank commit suicide?
"Did you say why?"

Mrs. Wang said with a troubled expression: "I heard from the master that it was because of the incident of the White Lotus Sect that caused a commotion a while ago..."

Aunt Xue was a little relieved. A whole day ago, the Ministry of Criminal Justice dispatched and arrested seven or eight officials in Beijing. It is said that they are also related to the White Lotus Sect.However, they are all officials below the third rank. Unexpectedly, even people like Wang Xianjue participated in it...

"It's a pity..."

Aunt Xue knew that Wang Xianjue seemed to have a good relationship with the Jia family, so she said regretfully.However, it's just a pity. Facing such a major political event, she knew that women in the inner house were not qualified to speak.

Who knows Mrs. Wang said: "If it's just like this, that's all. Every family has its own blessings, and no one can force it.

However, who knew that when he was dying, he actually wrote an apology to the emperor. Apart from saying that he knew he was ashamed of the court and could only apologize with death, he also sent a copy to our family! "
