The Red Mansions

Chapter 250 Shi Xiangyun...

The next day, the weather was fine.

Early in the morning, the Xue family's mighty welcoming team arrived.

Playing and singing, it's so lively.

At three poles in the sun, amidst a burst of noise, Jia Ling, dressed in a phoenix coronet and Xiapei, and covered with a red hijab, was carried out by her brother and carried into eight large sedan chairs.

Xue Pan's smile never broke. He wore a champion hat, a dragon and phoenix red robe, and a big red flower on his waist. He got on his horse and greeted the dense crowd with a silly smile.

Jia Yun, the patriarchs and elders of the third house, and some relatives of Jia Ling's family formed a huge send-off team.

"Get up the car..."

With a shout, the gongs, drums, locks, and locks played even louder.

In the team, Jia Dailing squeezed his beard and sighed: "Our third room is getting more and more beautiful!"

"Little old man really wants to live to be a hundred years old. Look at our three-bedroom juniors, how many more capable people there will be!"

"Hehe, the ancestors will live a long life, and they will definitely see the prosperity of the tribe." Jia Yun said with a smile.

Jia Dailing waved his hand and said: "I'm just talking, if you really live to such a great age, you will take advantage of the younger generation, which is not a good thing."

A clan elder next to him echoed: "That's not bad. Although longevity is a good thing, but the blessings are certain, if it is too much, the family members and descendants will suffer."

Another person said: "Over the years, our Sanfang has grown quite a bit older, so it's not unreasonable for the clansmen to suffer from poverty."

Everyone said what they said, and I said what they said. Jia Yun's seniority is low, but it's not easy to interrupt, so she can only listen.

But when it came to the topic of longevity and blessings, many people were quite interested in discussing it, and Jia Yun would not feel bored listening to it.

The line was very long and walked slowly, and it took a while to get out of the back street.

On the cross street, Jia Yun saw Jia Baoyu and Jiang Yuhan talking together again.

Jia Baoyu's face was full of worry and distress. Jiang Yuhan's face was pale, crumbling, and weak. He changed his clothes, and he should have come here specifically to find Jia Baoyu.

After the two talked a few words, Jiang Yuhan's face brightened, she pursed her lips lightly, and Jia Baoyu helped her to leave.

Jia Yun pondered for a moment, and stopped meddling in other matters.

Even though Jiang Yuhan is still jumping outside now, she should be holding on.

The next month will be Jiang Yuhan's dangerous period. If he survives it, he will be able to be a good woman in the future. If he can't survive it, he may die.

"Hey, after all, the conditions are limited, and he can only do so much. No matter how much he changes, his breasts can't get bigger. It's a pity that he can't show his full charm." Jia Yun sighed inwardly.

There was nothing to say along the way, and soon arrived at Xue's mansion.

This time when Xue Pan got married, many of his relatives in Jinling also came, and the Jia family, the Shi family, and the Wang family also sent their direct descendants.

After all, the Xue family is one of the four major families in Jinling, and there are still many relatives and friends.

However, the Xue family used to be just merchants. Except for the other three families of the Four Great Families, some families with well-connected families are mostly just family levels such as accountants, shopkeepers, and general managers.

From this point, it can be seen that although the Xue family is rich, they have no real background, especially in the official circles, there are very few contacts, so if something happens, they will only ask for help from the Jia family and the Wang family.

It was no wonder that the Jia family and the Wang family cared about Xue's family. Putting such a fat piece of meat there was easy to get. It was already sensible enough to endure Xue's father's death for so long before doing anything.

"No, it should be that Wang Ziteng was transferred from the capital and needed enough wealth to develop their influence, so they moved the Xue family." Jia Yun thought to herself.

It is estimated that before this, the Wang family and the Jia family did not plan to touch the Xue family, after all, there is still a relationship between them.

The point of change should be when Wang Ziteng left Beijing.

Wang Ziteng is going to Jiubian. Although he has connections from the Jia family to assist him, money is indispensable to win over the soldiers. It is no different than when he was an official in the Beijing camp, and others gave him money.

In addition to winning over soldiers, Wang Ziteng must also want to return to Beijing as soon as possible, so the relationship between the DPRK and China cannot be broken.

Not only can it not be broken, but it also needs to further strengthen the efforts to win over, which also requires money.

These two sums of money cannot be settled with a little money, but require a lot of money.

If the Wang family paid for it themselves, it might hurt their muscles and bones, so they can only go to the Xue family.

However, Xue Pan is an idiot. Jia and Wang's family wrote a letter asking him to borrow a small amount of silver, and he would probably agree, but the letter asked for a loan of tens of millions of taels, and it was perfectly normal for him to refuse .

So Wang Ziteng sent Jia Yucun to Yingtian Mansion.

If we look back at this matter, even if Jia Yucun did not go to Yingtian Mansion, other royal officials would have gone there, and even if Xue Pan hadn't encountered the kidnapper selling Xiangling, other things would have come to him.

In short, Xue Pan couldn't escape.

Closer to home.

After Jia Yun arrived at Xue's mansion, she first followed Jia Dailing and his party to the hall to witness Xue Pan and Jia Ling's worship etiquette.

"I just drank well yesterday, come again today?" Jia Yun sat down and asked with a smile.

Jia Lian laughed loudly and said, "Yesterday we were in a bad state, but today it's different. It's all because we have recharged our batteries."

Jia Yun shook her head and smiled, "You shouldn't be looking for me today, brother Xue is the right one."

"Haha, he is indispensable. When he finishes his work, we will treat him well." Jia Lian laughed loudly.

Jia Yun said helplessly: "Forget it, today is Big Brother Xue's happy day, just stay and flirt with him for a while, before that, I'd better drink you all down first, lest you get drunk and go crazy!" "

Jia Lian patted the table and said loudly, "My boy, you're so crazy!"

"Brother Yun, don't think that you can continue to show off your prestige today after drinking us down yesterday!" Jia Rong also echoed.

Jia Yun raised her eyebrows, and said to the table: "Don't yell, whoever is louder will drink more of this wine, let's get real here!"

When he said this, Jia Lian, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, Jia Cong and others became even more angry, and they were filled with righteous indignation, expressing that Jia Yun would be taken down today even if he vomited blood.

Soon, the food and wine were on the table, and everyone was drinking and drinking, and it became lively.

When Xue Pan came over, Jia Yun was already full of wine and food, and only Jia Lian was lying on the table when the table was full, while the others were lying on the ground and sound asleep.

"Good guy, brother-in-law is interesting!"

Before Xue Pan came over, he drank a lot of wine with many elders, blushed, and gave Jia Yun a thumbs up.

Jia Yun smiled and said, "Brother Xue, don't blame me for disturbing the interest."

Xue Pan sat down, shook his head and said, "How can I, I don't know that these guys are uneasy and kind? If it weren't for my brother-in-law to help block me today, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to enter the bridal chamber."

As he said that, he ordered his servants to help Jia Lian and the others out, and let their young servants take them away, so as not to suffer from the cold in winter.

After finishing the work, Jia Yun said to him: "You don't need to accompany me, just go entertain the guests yourself."

"It's fine, I'm really busy today." Xue Pan was not polite, said a few words to Jia Yun, and left again.

Everyone left, only Jia Yun was left in the wing room.

He sat for a while to relax, and then walked out. He originally wanted to go to the back house, but thought that there might be many female guests in the back house today, so it would be inappropriate to go by himself.

After thinking about it, Jia Yun turned around and went to the garden again.

The garden is quite quiet. The plum blossoms are in full bloom. Under the sunlight, they look like a sea of ​​snow, exuding a faint fragrance.

Jia Yun walked slowly on the winding stone path, passing through the plum forest, and stopped in front of a big rock, lying down with her hands on the pillow to bask in the sun.

The sun in winter is exceptionally mild, shining warmly on people.

After a while, Jia Yun squinted.

"Brother-in-law..."

Half awake and half asleep, Jia Yun heard a soft call ringing beside her ear.

"Brother-in-law, wake up, you will get sick if you sleep here."

Jia Yun hummed, and slowly opened her eyes, and it was Shi Xiangyun's pure and beautiful face that caught her eyes.

Seeing that Jia Yun woke up, Shi Xiangyun looked down at him, blinked his bright eyes, and said with a smile:
"Why did my brother-in-law come here to sleep alone? Are you drunk?"

Jia Yun shook her head and said, "That's not true, I just want to bask in the sun for a while, why did you come here?"

"My, it's boring to stay there. I heard that the plum blossoms in the yard are blooming, so I came here." Shi Xiangyun said with a smile.

After a pause, she said again: "Brother-in-law, get up quickly, it's cold on this rock, fortunately I came here to wake you up, otherwise you will be sick when you wake up."

Jia Yun laughed, sat up, nodded and said: "Okay, I won't sleep, you go to see the plum blossoms, I just came over there not long ago, they are very beautiful!"

Shi Xiangyun tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, my brother-in-law is here alone, I'd better chat with you for a while!"

"It's really not necessary, I'll leave after a while in the sun." Jia Yun shook her head and said.

Shi Xiangyun giggled, jumped onto the rock, sat down next to Jia Yun, and said:

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, the plum blossoms won't be taken away anytime soon, so you can go and see them anytime."

The fragrance was tangy, and Jia Yun looked at Shi Xiangyun a few times, but did not persuade her to open it.

"Did you also drink at noon?" Jia Yun asked with a smile.

Shi Xiangyun blushed, hummed, and whispered: "I blush when I drink, and I drank a lot at noon today."

"Do you like to drink?" Jia Yun asked.

Shi Xiangyun hesitated for a moment, and said: "It's okay, I can't say how much I like it, but I can still drink a few drinks."

After a pause, she asked in a low voice, "Brother-in-law doesn't like girls drinking?"

"Uh, that's not true. As long as you don't drink too much, it's okay to drink occasionally." Jia Yun replied with a smile.

Shi Xiangyun breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you don't know, I was persuaded to drink by sisters Lin and Tanchun at noon, otherwise I wouldn't drink so much."

Jia Yun smiled, and changed the subject: "May I ask, I heard from people in the Rongguo Mansion that your family is very poor. Is there such a thing?"

"Well, it's all echoing what others say." Shi Xiangyun sighed, "It's actually clear when you think about it. Our historian has two families, and even if life is hard, it won't be so bad."

"However, our historian's family tradition is quite strict. Men study hard from an early age, while girls are expected to be female celebrities or something. You are not allowed to indulge in leisure and work hard."

"As for the rumors in Jia's mansion, the historian's economy is not good, and almost all the needlework has to be done by women themselves, but it was because I went to Jia's mansion to show my mouth when I was young, which caused a misunderstanding."

"Later I explained it to many people, but most of them thought that I was covering up the face of the family. Not only did they not believe it, but it deepened their misunderstanding, so I stopped explaining."

Jia Yun smiled and said, "Let me just say, this thing must be false. When I first heard this rumor, I didn't quite believe it."

"After all, your historians are really powerful. After Shi Gongxian left, the title was inherited to the descendants without being downgraded. You also added an additional Marquis, two Marquises from each family. The officials are higher and more prestigious than the Jia Mansion."

You must know that the historian not only has two marquises, but also the Marquis of Baoling, Shi Nai, is also a high-ranking official in other provinces, with real power in his hands.

As for why historians often come to Jia Mu to cry for poverty, I'm afraid they have their own considerations.

When Shi Xiangyun heard this, he said with a naive smile, "Brother-in-law, the historian is not as good as you say, and the scenery is only superficial, you will know later."

Jia Yun nodded and asked, "I heard that your parents died early and were brought up by your uncle and aunt? Did they treat you well?"

"Okay, I'll eat whatever the rest of the family eats, and I'll wear whatever the rest of the family wears. My uncle and aunt have never treated me badly." Shi Xiangyun nodded.

After a pause, she moved closer to Jia Yun and asked with a small smile, "Brother-in-law seems to be very interested in my life experience?"

"Hehe, weird spirit!" Jia Yun reached out and rubbed Shi Xiangyun's head.

After rubbing it a few times, his hands froze. After realizing it, his relationship with Shi Xiangyun was not that close.

Shi Xiangyun also seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and stood there motionless, his face was red as if dripping blood, his eyes were watery, he blinked, and his mouth squeaked, but he didn't know what to say.

It took a long time for Shi Xiangyun to come back to his senses, turned his head, groaned, hugged his knees with his hands, and buried his head in his knees, he didn't dare to lift his head in embarrassment, and his ears were completely red.

Jia Yun chuckled, thinking that Shi Xiangyun would run away just now, but she just buried her head down, as if she was just shy and not angry.

After thinking for a while, he leaned forward gently, put his mouth next to Shi Xiangyun's ear, and said softly: "I was rude just now."

"No, brother-in-law, I don't blame you." Shi Xiangyun said softly.

Jia Yun chuckled, and asked in a low voice, "You really don't blame me?"

Shi Xiangyun hummed, and the heat came from her ears, making her scalp numb, and she was so ashamed that she didn't dare to raise her head.

Jia Yun rolled her eyes and gently bit her ear.

Shi Xiangyun shook his whole body, took a deep breath, but remained motionless, allowing Jia Yun to bite her ear.

Jia Yun saw that her smooth cheeks were flushed and her breathing was gradually becoming short of breath. With a secret smile, she stretched out her hands and put her arms around her waist.

"Brother-in-law..." Shi Xiangyun snorted, slowly raised his head to glance at him, and reminded in a low voice, "There are quite a lot of guests today, so it's not good for people to see."

Jia Yun hugged her in her arms, buried her head on her neck, took a deep breath of her young body fragrance, and replied:

"Don't be afraid, Xiangyun, as long as someone comes over, I will know in advance..."
