Red House Shoufu

Chapter 312 Xiangling and Xue Pan

It was already the second day after Lin Shu woke up completely, the wound in his abdomen was still painful, but the pain in his brain was much lighter.

According to the imperial doctor's order, Daiyu cooked light rice porridge every day, and ate small and frequent meals.Seeing that her daughter's heart was not at home at all, Wang Xiaoshi made a decoction of qi and blood every day, and Wang Yuan sent it to Lin's residence early in the morning.

Speaking of which, these days are Lin Shu's happiest time, no matter whether it is business or family affairs, he doesn't have to worry about it.

Of course, he can't worry about this, Daiyu has already issued a death order, and no one is allowed to mention these things in front of Lin Shu, otherwise those who should be punished will be punished, and Lin Shu's fine monthly salary will be cut off abruptly. pivotal news channel.

Seeing that everything in the mansion was as usual, Lin Shu felt relieved and recuperated from his illness. By the way, he spent every day in the house with Wang Yuanzhai to cultivate his relationship.

The weather cleared up this day, and the sun dispelled the cold spring that had been coming for many days.With the support of Wang Yuan, Lin Shu slowly moved into the yard, lying on the rocking chair and basking in the sun, the years were quiet and beautiful, the beauty was by his side, and everything was harmonious.

Daiyu was planning to take a break after processing the posts and letters she had received in the past two days and replying one by one, but she heard a report from her family that the brothers and sisters of the Xue family had come to visit.

After Lin Shu was injured, Xue Baochai came to the door in person at the first time, and presented the centuries-old Korean ginseng in his family's collection, but he never disturbed the Lin family after that. Today's sudden visit must be for something.

Originally Daiyu thought it was Xue Baochai and Xue Biao, the second roommate of the Xue family, who came to the mansion, but she didn't expect that it was Xue Pan, Xue Baochai, and Xue Baoqin.

There was a scar on Xue Pan's face, compared with his previous domineering temper, he was much calmer.As soon as he entered the main hall, he bowed and clasped his fists, and bowed in a low voice: "The last general, Captain Zhongxian, pays his respects to the county lord!"

The two Xue Baochai sisters also blessed themselves and saluted, which seemed much more formal than in the past: "Meet the county lord!"

"Sister Bao, this is... Hurry up, what are you doing with these vain gifts?"

Daiyu had sensed the change in Xue Pan's identity from what Xue Pan said just now, and asked curiously: "Xiao Lieutenant just came back from Henan? Was he given a military post because of his meritorious service?"

Xue Pan put away the solemnity just now, touched the back of his head and grinned: "At the end of last year, His Majesty dispatched some hidden guards back to the capital, and they happened to be drawn to the Qianhu Office where I was. I just arrived in the capital the day before yesterday. I heard that Lin Xueshi was injured. , I wanted to see if it would be useful to come to my place. If there is a need, the county lord will say that Xue Pan will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

He was able to escape the catastrophe and get the opportunity to change his family, and he could not do without the help of the Rongguo Mansion and the Lin family.Lin Shu, in particular, advised him, settled the lawsuit for him, and recommended him to go through the Zhongxin Prince's Mansion. This is how Xue Pan is now the sixth-rank Zhongxian Xiaowei and Yinwei Shibaihuguan.

Daiyu smiled and said: "Lieutenant Xue has a heart. The Korean ginseng that Sister Bao sent that day helped a lot. My brother's spirit has improved a lot in the past two days. I'll ask someone to go and see if my brother is awake. I'll take you there again."

But Xue Baochai stopped Daiyu, hesitated for a moment and said: "No rush, no need to disturb Lin Xueshi's cultivation. Today, my brothers and sisters came here, one is to give some ginseng to do my best for Lin Xueshi. The other is to ask for something... ..."

"Oh? Sister Bao, you and I are sisters, if you need my help with something, just tell me, what's the matter?"

Seeing Xue Baochai's hesitation, Daiyu became even more curious.But I heard Xue Baochai say: "Sister Lin, what is the identity of Mrs. Zhen who lives in the guest house of your mansion?"

"Sister Bao has seen Mrs. Zhen?"

Daiyu became even more curious, and she responded: "Mrs. Zhen and his wife are also from Gusu. The only daughter was lost a few years ago, and they searched all over the south of the Yangtze River to no avail. A master divination said that her daughter is in the capital. This is only a thousand miles away. Come to Beijing to look for..."

"No wonder...no wonder..."

Xue Baochai murmured twice, and explained to Daiyu: "When I came to the mansion a few days ago, I ran into this Mrs. Zhen at the door. These two days, I often saw her wandering in front of the Rongguo mansion. At first I thought it was Sister Lin. Something happened, and it was later discovered that she had been guarding the gate of the Rongguo Mansion and did not go in. Sister Lin, have you found out the identity of this Mrs. Zhen? This Mrs. Zhen's behavior is very strange. Order."

"Zhen Juren has a good reputation in Gusu, and he is known as a great benevolent person. If it weren't for the reason of looking for a daughter, he would not have fallen into the capital. Now he is hired by his brother to teach guards in the mansion, and he is doing his best these days. As for Mrs. Zhen... How about this, I'll ask her to come over and ask her face to face what's going on."

Daiyu asked Xueyan to invite Zhen Fengshi over, and when she saw Xue Baochai here, she looked behind Xue Baochai, then lowered her head a little disappointed, and greeted Daiyu: "The woman pays homage to the county magistrate!"

This strange behavior made Daiyu very strange, so she asked bluntly: "Madam, please come here today, I want to ask Madam, why have you been wandering in front of the Rongguo Mansion for the past few days? But what's the matter?" ?”

"Folkwomen... folkwomen... county lord..."

Zhen Fengshi seemed to have concerns, hesitated for a long time and couldn't speak a complete sentence.

Daiyu said again: "Ma'am, don't have to worry about it. The people here are all from our Jiangnan village. If you have any difficulties, just tell them and everyone can give you advice."

Perhaps it was Daiyu's words that gave Zhen Fengshi courage. She looked at Xue Baochai again, and then at Daiyu, summoned up her courage and said: "The woman came to the house before seeing Miss Xue, and there is a girl behind her." , so much like my lost child, I thought about going to the Rongguo Mansion to have a look..."

"Me? Yinger?"

Xue Baochai turned around in surprise and looked behind her. The eldest maid beside her was Yinger, and there were two second-class maids, Wen Xing and Ruiguan, who brought Yinger here today.

Zhen Feng shook his head: "It's the one with the rouge mole between his eyebrows!"

"What? You mean Xiangling? Impossible..."

Before Xue Baochai could react, Xue Pan jumped up in surprise.But halfway through his words, he died down, and sat back on the chair a little dejectedly.

Because he bought Xiangling from the kidnapper, he also had a conflict with Feng Yuan, resulting in a murder case.

But seeing Zhen Feng's old tears, choked up and said: "Master Xue doesn't know something. My poor daughter was lost by the servants at the Lantern Festival when she was four years old. There is a very conspicuous rouge mole between her eyebrows." .Combined with the calculation of age, it is about the same size as the girl next to Miss Xue."

Xue Baochai ignored Xue Pan's depression, and accompanied Zhen Fengshi to touch a couple of tears, and finally comforted her: "Madam, don't cry, since Madam thinks Xiangling looks like me, I will let someone pick her up, Madam, take care of her." See if it is true? If it is true that the mother and daughter are reunited, it will be a great joy!"

Xue Pan seemed reluctant to give up, and called out: "Sister!"

Xue Baochai gave Xue Pan a wink quietly, and stopped Xue Pan from continuing. She asked Ying'er to inform Xue Wang of the matter immediately, and took Xiangling over.

Seeing that the Xue family brothers and sisters had something to say, Daiyu used the excuse of going to see her elder brother, and took Zhen Fengshi out of the main hall, leaving enough time for the Xue family brothers and sisters to talk.

Not long after walking out of the main hall, Daiyu comforted Zhen Fengshi who was still anxious: "Madam, don't worry, if it's Miss Zhen, Sister Bao will definitely make the decision to reunite your family."

……

After Daiyu and Zhen Fengshi left, Xue Pan said anxiously: "Sister, how could you agree to let Xiangling come over? If she is really the daughter of the Zhen family, wouldn't she want to leave our house?"

"I know that my brother is reluctant to part with Xiangling, but the Zhen family is from a gentry family, and Zhen Juren is a great benevolent person who enjoys Gusu. Brother, isn't he afraid that the spittle of scholars will flood our house?"

Xue Baochai has always been extremely alert, just now when Daiyu specifically mentioned the reputation of the Zhen family in Gusu, she knew she was reminding herself not to easily offend Zhen Shiyin's family.

Besides, the Xue family has just changed their family, which is the time to build their reputation.If Xiangling is really Zhen Shiyin's daughter, by taking this opportunity, she might be able to restore her reputation that was ruined a few years ago.

However, Xue Pan was really reluctant to part with Xiangling. He looked all over the flowers, but there was never a woman who was as delicate and innocent as Xiangling, pure and gentle, and loved by others.

Although because of his mother's relationship, Xiangling is not yet fourteen, and Xue Pan hasn't really gotten started yet, but he still doesn't want to part with this lovely girl.

"Then I can't just let her go, I plan to take her in this time when I come back..."

Xue Baochai was so anxious that she hated iron for being weak: "Brother... If Xiangling is really the daughter of the Zhen family, then she is the daughter of a gentry, and her father has a reputation for raising people. Have you ever seen someone raise a girl as a concubine?"

"That Mrs. Wan from Prince Yizhong's residence..."

"Brother, you...that's the prince of Guochao!"

Xue Baochai was half-deadly pissed off by Xue Pan's words. Of course, she knew who the Mrs. Wan her brother was talking about was. The Mrs. Wan who had been imprisoned had long been famous in the capital.Her father was arrested for rebellion, and she was imprisoned by Princess Yizhong in the palace to wait for the court's disposal.

At this time Xue Baoqin said in a low voice: "Actually, if elder brother really likes it, it would be nice to marry him as his wife."

"no!"

Xue Baochai glared at her, and Xue Pan gritted her teeth angrily: "My brother is now an official in the court, and in the future he must marry a daughter of a high family. It is best to come from the family of a general. I can't control my brother!"

Xue Pan immediately became unhappy, disregarding that this was the main hall of the Lin family, and complained loudly: "Why do you want to marry me a tigress?"

"Brother, tell yourself, with your temperament, if you don't marry someone who can control you, you won't be able to cause trouble again in the future?"

"Brother, sister, stop arguing... this is in the Lin Mansion!" Xue Baoqin reminded the two of her birth, and then the quarrel stopped.

With Xue Baoqin's reminder, Xue Baochai also regained her former composure.The case of Xiangling is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If she is really the daughter of the Zhen family, as long as the family reunion is facilitated, the reputation of the Xue family will start to turn around in Jiangnan Shilin.

Moreover, this matter was completed under the witness of the Lin family. The relationship of the Lin family must not be let go and must be managed well.

She whispered to Xue Pan a brief explanation of the whole story, no matter how stupid Xue Pan was, he knew that her sister was doing it for his own good and for the Xue family's.

The punishment he endured in Shuntian Mansion Prison, the suffering at the Imperial Mausoleum, and the risks he took on the battlefield in Henan made him understand the warmth and coldness of the world.Although she was still very reluctant, she nodded in agreement with Xue Baochai's proposal.

After Xiangling arrived, both Zhen Fengshi and Xiangling mentioned a few key words: the family is rich, there is a temple nearby, the lantern night...

After being abducted by kidnappers to be beaten, scolded and tortured, the memories hidden in the bottom of my heart slowly recovered, and finally I had a little memory to meet Zhen Fengshi.

"Yinglian... Yinglian... I remembered, I have a lotus lamp hanging by the bed..."

"Yes... yes... that was made by Mother herself before Shangyuan night! My poor daughter!"

The reunion of the mother and daughter moved everyone in the room. Daiyu had only one elder brother left, and the three siblings of the Xue family also lost their father and mother. Only the elder Xue Wang was alive.

Xue Pan untied the jade pendant and purse from his waist, and stuffed them all into Zhen Yinglian's (Xiang Ling) hands: "Forget it, you can go home. Master is gone!"

After all, he didn't even care about etiquette, and walked out in a daze.

Xue Baochai wanted to hold him back eagerly, but Zhen Yinglian stood in front of Xue Pan first.

I saw Zhen Yinglian knelt at Xue Pan's feet, and kowtowed three times: "Master, this servant knows that I am a kind-hearted person. Back then, my servant and servant caused such a big lawsuit for my uncle, but my uncle never disliked me. Although I have been scolding me all these years ruthless, but never hit a slave once..."

"How can I be a kind person? I am Uncle Xue, who bullies you mud-legged Uncle Xue with his dog legs every day! Go away, go home quickly, don't be an eyesore in front of you!"

Xue Pan scolded really hard, raising his hand as if to hit Zhen Yinglian, but in the end he slapped himself on the face: "It's really unlucky, the master will send his maid back!"

As he said that, he lifted his foot to bypass Zhen Yinglian and walked towards the gate of the Lin Mansion.

"Ying'er, hurry up and follow!"

"Uncle Lu, send someone to follow!"

Xue Baochai and Daiyu called for someone almost at the same time, and sent someone to follow Xue Pan.This person seemed careless, but he never thought that he would be so emotional.

Going out in such a daze, God knows if it will cause trouble.Daiyu comforted her, "Sister Bao, don't worry, Uncle Lu will make arrangements to send Captain Xue back safely."

Baochai thanked him and said: "Thank you, sister Lin, my brother always makes me want to fuck!"

Daiyu sighed, and sighed: "That's right, my brother also makes me want to fuck!"

Zhen Feng's family pulled Zhen Yinglian and knelt in front of Xue Baochai. Zhen Feng's family said: "The Xue family's great kindness, the Zhen family will definitely repay. In the future, if there is something to send, the Zhen family will die!"

"Ma'am, what are you doing? Please get up quickly. Xiang...Miss Zhen, get up quickly..."

Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin helped each other up, and Xue Baochai said: "After all, it is a fate, and it is the blessing of the Xue family to be able to facilitate this good deed. Madam, don't talk about repaying your kindness. After all, Miss Zhen also suffered in my family. How can I have the face to go out if I go out?"

Zhen Yinglian wiped away her tears, and said in tears: "The servant did not suffer, the wife, the girl and the uncle are all very kind to me!"

Zhen Fengshi also believed her daughter's words. Just now she touched her daughter's soft palm, which was soft and smooth. Coupled with her pretty face and clothes, it was obvious that she had never suffered or suffered.

She once again thanked Xue Baochai for taking care of Zhen Yinglian over the years. It wasn't until Zhen Shiyin heard the news that Daiyu and Baochai persuaded the family to go back to the guest house for a reunion.

At this time, Lin Shu sent someone to send a message, asking Xue Pan to come to the study to talk.So Daiyu arranged for someone to go out of the house to find Xue Pan, while she continued to comfort Xue Baochai who was still in a daze.

　Today I wrote about Xue Pan and Xiang Ling, and I checked the description of these two people again.Xue Pan is indeed a collection of contradictions, arrogant and domineering, but extremely loyal.It is right to say that he is evil, and it is right to say that he is good. At least, he is loyal enough to Liu Xianglian, to the people of Rongguo Mansion, and to Xiangling for a long time, until Xia Jingui appeared.

　　The description of Xue Pan in my story will be somewhat different from the original work, I hope everyone can understand.

　　Let’s update 6000 words today, I’ll think about how to write about Xue Bawang tonight!
　　[I still owe 25 chapters!6000 more words will be updated tomorrow, go to bed early, good night! 】
