Red Mansion Wind

Chapter 17

The hall was quiet for a while, Zhou's mother and Xue's mother supported the chair and watched the scene, until Bai Lu, who was following behind, saw Zhou Xu lying there like a monkey, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Pfft~ It's too early for Dalang to pay New Year's greetings to his wife~"

Mrs. Zhou glanced at the girl angrily and wanted to get up, but when Bai Lu came, she winked at her, and the latter stepped forward to help Zhou Xu up after seeing her.

"Hiss~ slow down, slow down, my knee hurts..."

Zhou Xu stood up slowly, and looked back, it turned out that the cloak had caught the leg of the table, causing him to kick his foot.

Really fucking speechless, I was rushing to see the joke, but ended up getting into it myself.

"You girl, who asked you to help this sky-watching bird, who can't even walk at such an age, I want you to help the Xue family girl up."

Mrs. Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she thought Bai Lu had understood what she meant, so she had no choice but to go forward and help Xue Baochai up.

Baochai was troubled by this, and she didn't know what to do, so she stood up according to Mrs. Zhou, and her forehead became rosy. .

"You nondeterministic idiot, look at what you've done to a girl, Bai Lu, go and get some medicinal wine from my room."

"Yes, ma'am"

Bai Lu covered her mouth and went away, Zhou Xu's embarrassment passed, and he found a chair and sat down like a normal person, rubbing his knees while looking at the people in the room.

There was a woman sitting across from him, needless to say, Aunt Xue who was having a big fight with him during the day, and beside her stood a tall man with a greasy hair and pink noodles, not manly at all, his stature was in vain.

This is Xue Pan, standing there dumbfounded like a plague chicken.

Then look at the person who paid homage to him just now, the woman in the red building who ranks first among the twelve beauties along with Lin Daiyu.

Xue Baochai.

At night, the lights and candles were flickering, so she stood in front of Mother Zhou with her head slightly lowered, and only looked at Zhou Xu from the side. It was really good.

But to Zhou Xu's evaluation, he felt that compared with the medical beauties of later generations, it was very natural to lose one point of beauty, but to win. His musculature and bones were abundant, and his description was gorgeous, so it was no wonder that he was compared to Concubine Yang.

It is just like the true color of a peony, which is graceful and luxurious, with national beauty and heavenly fragrance.

At this moment, his eyes were shining brightly, Zhou Xu couldn't help but take a few extra glances, but Mrs. Xue felt a sudden in her heart, remembering what the little thief said earlier.

"Don't talk about the maid, when you send your daughter, it depends on the mood of the young master..."

She hastily pushed Xue Pan who was standing beside him. The latter was very coy, and after being stared at by Xue Pan, he walked slowly in front of Zhou Xu, bowed to the end and said something in a muffled voice.

"Brother Zhou Xu, I was the one who lost my head and said some stupid things that day, please forgive me~"

"what did you say?"

It's funny when Zhou Xu heard this, he was so dazed that he could still say that, my Zhou family will never look down on your family's lintel in ten lifetimes?
He looked at Xue Pan doubtfully and said: "That day you spoke loudly, why are you humming like a mosquito today? It's so strange in this cold winter~"

After saying these words, Xue Pan's face turned red, since he was young, how could he have been ridiculed like this, in Xue's family he is the fingertips of Xue's mother, who is not pampered and protected.

There are four respectable people outside, who would not let him respect him, Zhou Xu was ashamed at this moment, he just felt a fire in his chest, and suddenly saw Zhou Xu's provocative and disdainful eyes.

Thinking that I don't seem to be his opponent, I really can't beat it, and it doesn't make sense to say it, so I feel depressed!

"Master Xu, my elder brother is a little ignorant and often says some unpleasant things. He didn't mean it that day, and..."

Xue Baochai saw that her brother's face was flushed by the words, and she was angry and sighed, so she spoke to Zhou Xu, trying to help Xue Pan around.

I didn't know that he said something lightly.

"Does he have no mouth? Do you want to talk? Then I will give him a mouthful, and you will bear it for him!"

Zhou Xu didn't care if you were from twelve or thirteen, he didn't give Xue Baochai the slightest bit of face, and Xue Baochai's face turned pale when he spoke very hard.

"you…!"

"What am I!"

Xue Pan himself didn't care, but he couldn't bear Zhou Xu's cruelty to his sister, so he blocked Xue Baochai from staring at Zhou Xu, but he yelled at him, and he was about to turn his face.

Aunt Xue's hand clenched and loosened, loosened and tightened, which made her more embarrassed than during the day. After all, Zhou's mother was soft-hearted and wanted to be kind to others, so she opened her mouth because she had an enemy for nothing.

"Fool, why did you talk to Miss Xue's family!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Aunt Xue and said, "Mrs. Xue, I understand what you guys mean. If you want to say that your brother told such lies, you should report to the palace for a decision."

Xue Pan's body tensed when he heard this. If he really saw the official face, it might be as simple as being beaten.

Mrs. Xue is afraid of this, and there is no one in her family now. If Xue Pan is taken away and the Xue family's royal merchant is skinned, then the Xue family will really be over.

She glanced at Zhou's mother and said, "Ma'am, this evil should be deserved, even if he is sentenced to exile for thousands of miles, he can't say anything, just call me mother and daughter."

Mother Xue counted many things about this bastard Xue Pan in detail, and said how hard she was to control him, which made Mother Zhou feel the same way. Zhou Xu used to be the same as Xue Pan, and it was all mother's worry and fear.

"Madam and Concubine please say something in front of me. My ghost said that bastard. It's not disrespectful to her old man. As long as I can save my life, I will beat and scold my Xue family. I just keep him from being called Xue." The family is cut off..."

Xue's mother only said it seriously, and Zhou Xu curled his lips when he heard it, sympathizing with him, right? At that time, Xue Pan insisted on denying what he had said, and with Jia's family and other relatives protecting him, Xue Pan would be locked up for a few days at most before he was killed. Head exile is still far away.

He didn't know that Aunt Xue had inquired about Zhou's mother, so she thought about what she said, and said it to her. Seeing Xue's mother like this, Zhou Xu's heart softened, and he said:

"Forget it, forget it, he also suffered a lot and didn't dare to come here after thinking about it. We have the right to listen to the crazy words. The old concubine should not bother her old man. It's getting late, madam, I'd better go back early, but this capital city Even though you are at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you still need to be more cautious."

After pointing to Xue's mother, the matter was just like that, and it seemed serious to care about knowing that their family was not forgiving. Zhou Xu still wanted to speak, but Zhou's mother took a look, and it didn't matter if he spread his hands. He was bullying Xue Pan Orphans and widows are not considered capable.

Xue's mother went there with great gratitude, and Zhou's mother and Zhou Xu sent them out of the house. When they came, there were seven or eight people, and when they went, they left a few boxes of gifts.

When Zhou Xu looked back, he realized that there was still someone next to the box, holding a package that was already shivering from the cold, and he fixed his eyes on a little maid.

"Hey, you've fallen behind!!"

But where did she call her back, she had already gone far away, Mrs. Zhou also wondered what the Xue family did, and beckoned the maid to come over from the corridor.

With a glance at the outer cover, there is a long coat, with black horns in a bun, a few pairs of tassel pendants swaying slightly on the sideburns, earrings are two round South Sea pearls, the skin is as white as fat, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, red lips and white teeth, eyebrows A little red mole in between adds charm and softness.

It's just that he was dumbfounded, like a night bird in the forest, at a loss, his eyes were full of confusion and timidity, Zhou Xu recognized who it was at a glance, and that day, she and Xue Pan were not in the same boat. Was there a fight? I couldn't help but sneered.

"Heh! The Red Chamber~"
