Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 290
Wang Shihan was surprised when he heard this, and said something loudly.

slightly louder,

Seeing that everyone in the house was looking at him, he also felt inappropriate, so he pulled Mother Xue and said;
"Come on, can my sister go into the room and talk about it?"

"Okay, listen to my sister."

Xue's mother also knew that there were some things that could not be said in front of the juniors, so the two of them walked back and forth, and went to the house inside.

But Zhang Jinyu didn't understand, so there was no one who was so hot. He glanced at Qin Keqing and Yang Hanyu again. The two girls were also drinking tea and didn't look at it again.

But subconsciously, he took another look at Xue Baochai's face, but he didn't see anything.

into the back room,

Mrs. Wang pointed it out directly and said,

"Sister, sit down, what are the plans for the Xue family in the future? Where do you go?"

When Mother Xue thought about the business and shops of Xue's family, it was going from bad to worse now, and the shopkeepers of all the big shops were yin and yang. How could she know what was going on with those things, and there was no man in charge of the house to stand up to them.

Xue Pan was even more ignorant, he didn't care about his own business, and the family gradually became more and more ruined, so he couldn't help but feel aggrieved, so he sobbed,
"Sister, to be honest, I don't know. Since Xue Lang left, the Xue family has been worsening day by day. Those shopkeepers are bullying our orphans and widows, and the money they collect is getting less and less, but I How can a woman be like this, you know Pan'er, she has a stubborn temper, and she is not suitable for business, woo woo."

He started to cry as he spoke, then immediately wiped away his tears, and said again;
"Although the Xue family still has Uncle Pan'er here to help with the cooking, but they also have their own property after all, how can they take care of it, sometimes they still embezzle the money in the account, and don't mention paying it back, and Baochai, we At that time, I thought about whether it would be better to enter the palace, and I lost my head for a while, so I entrusted someone to write my name on the famous disc of Ouchi's draft, what should I do?"

Seeing Xue's mother like this, she is also a woman who has no principles, Mrs. Wang is also secretly relieved, this is the best, so she tried to discuss;
"Sister, let me just say it straight. I thought, Baochai, a girl, I have been very satisfied since I was a child. Baochai can enter the Marquis Mansion, and I can also be the master and give him the position of an equal wife. You also know that, the Xue family Although he was a noble in the past, he is still a merchant after all, so he still needs to say something clearly."

Before the words finished, Mother Xue was stunned by the huge surprise, she nodded repeatedly,

"Sister, please tell me, I promise, promise."

Seeing Xue's mother's appearance, Mrs. Wang thought to herself, but the Xue family is really at the end of the road.

"The younger sister is not hiding it anymore. The Xue family's shops, chambers of commerce and trade routes must be secretly hung up under the Hou's mansion to do things and go outside the pass to buy supplies. The rest is nothing, just follow orders."

Mother Xue also hesitated, knowing that if she agreed so, the Xue family would lose most of their business, but after another thought, it would be better to give their children a certain future than to give it to a slave, so she nodded ruthlessly.

responded,
"Success, my sister agreed, but she is a famous dish of Baochai's House of Internal Affairs."

"Don't worry, the Marquis Mansion will handle this matter, so you can go back and wait. You can write the marriage letter now."

"well,"

Xue's mother was also worried that the Hou's house would change his mind. Now that she said so, she felt relieved. Mrs. Wang took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, grinded it, picked up the brush and wrote two copies. Xue's mother also wrote and signed Baochai's name. After a few times of drying, I put it away in my arms.

"Okay, my sister is also exhausted, go back and have a good rest, take Xue Pan back to discipline her, and after a few days, someone will come to help you take care of the housework."

Mrs. Wang didn't want to stay any longer when she saw that the matter was settled, Xue's mother's goal had been achieved, and the major future affairs of the Xue family had been resolved, so she was naturally satisfied and hurriedly said;

"My sister also rested earlier, and my sister will go back now."

After finishing speaking, the two people walked out of the back room and came to the hall. When the people in the hall didn't know what happened, Mother Xue took Baochai to salute and was about to leave.

At this moment, Qin Keqing spoke up;

"Aunt Xue, but Qing has something to ask, I wonder if it's okay?"

The people in the house were startled,
Zhang Jinyu also didn't know, so he looked over, Qin Keqing just shook his head lightly and didn't speak.

Mrs. Wang is naturally concerned, and introduced;
"Sister, this is Jinyu's first wife, the county lord of Chang'an."

Xue's mother was also shocked, knowing that she was the wife of the Hou's mansion, but unexpectedly she was the county lord, her heart beat faster, she stopped and asked;
"I've met the county magistrate, what can I ask?"

Qin Keqing stood up with a smile and said;
"It's nothing, just seeing this little girl even with her eyes, so I have the cheek to beg for it?"

After finishing speaking, she pointed to a maid behind Xue Baochai. Mother Xue looked back and saw that it was Xiangling. She was even more surprised. It will be like this, but Xue's mother answered first when I wanted to ask,

"Come on, this girl is Xiangling. Pan'er bought her in Jinling City. Because of this, Pan'er got involved in a life lawsuit. Fortunately, the magistrate covered up the matter on her behalf. Now she has been working as a maid by Baochai's side. Anything out of the ordinary is considered considerate."

Xiao Xiangling was a little scared, and tightly grabbed Xue Baochai's sleeve, but Xue Baochai couldn't bear it.

could not help but ask;
"Why does the county lord insist on asking for a little girl?"

Mother Xue frowned, Baochai was so sensible, what happened today.

Qin Keqing also looked up and saw Xue Baochai was a little upset, and explained;

"There are some origins, it's inconvenient to say, but it's not to harm her."

When Zhang Jinyu heard it, how could he believe it, what was the origin, and he couldn't figure it out for a while. Mrs. Wang was also silent, but she glanced at Xiangling suspiciously, and suddenly found that this red-haired woman with a frown was about eight or nine points away from her. But Qing looks alike, and I was surprised, what's going on.

"Okay, the little girl will stay with me, look good."

Seeing Mrs. Wang speak, Xue Baochai nodded helplessly, and patted Xiangling's hand lightly with her hand. Seeing that there was nothing she could do, Xiangling let go of her hand tremblingly, holding back her tears.

As soon as Xue's mother saw the matter, she still thought about her son, and after saluting, she took Baochai and went out.

Seeing the members of Xue's family walking out, Zhang Jinyu couldn't hold back and asked;
"Ke Qing, if I remember correctly, where did you get related to the girl from Jinling?"

Qin Keqing also walked over and took the little girl Xiangling who was a little scared, and took off the gold hairpin from her bun, and also untied the hairband from the little girl. The two stood together with their hair loose, and then said;

"You guys take a look again?"

The people gathered around to watch carefully,

Standing together, the two of them would be [-]% similar if the extra decorations were removed, and everyone in the room would be amazed.

Mrs. Wang is also frowning, which is strange, except for the expression and the temperament in the eyes, it is almost carved out of Mozi, and she can't bear to see the little girl so frightened that she is about to cry.
"Okay, this little girl is waiting by my side. This matter must not be revealed. Jinyu asks people to find out what is wrong. The two people who are so similar in the world are also destined, and Xue Pan provoked her for this matter. I have to investigate what is going on in the life lawsuit, this woman is a bit strange."

"Yes, my son knows."

"By the way, the He Chamber of Commerce is going to send someone to take over the Xue family's shop. The Xue family has already taken refuge in the Hou Mansion. You go in and put away the things yourself."

Mrs. Wang is also inconvenient to say it here.

Zhang Jinyu admired her mother even more. Although the current Xue family is not as good as before, it may have been riddled with holes, but a thin camel is bigger than a horse.

"Yes, mother."

Talking into the back room, I saw a piece of paper on the table inside the room with words written on it. I picked it up and looked a little dumbfounded. I never thought that sister Lin hadn't seen it yet, but the Xue family's daughter was in the pocket like this, and she understood her mother After a lot of hard work, Jiangnan's affairs have been achieved.

outside,
Xue's mother was anxious to see her son, but ignored Baochai's tugging.

"Baochai, let's talk about it when we go back to the mansion. It's important to pick up your brother first. It's been so long, but I've been wronged."

Xue Baochai stamped her feet anxiously, and followed helplessly.

When they arrived at the gate of the camp, the guards had already informed him to let them go. Now, Xue Pan recovered a bit, and stood at the gate of the camp waiting.

Seeing his mother and younger sister coming over, he said with a smile;

"Mother, you are here, and my son told you that Luo Yunhou's subordinates were too ruthless in attacking, it was a black hand, you see, I beat you."

Mother Xue also said redly;

"I told you not to fool around outside, but you didn't listen, you see what happened,"

Seeing the scene in front of her, Xue Baochai felt familiar,
"Come on, mother, it's not good at the gate of the camp."

"Yes, let's go."

Several people just got into the carriage and rushed to the mansion. Mother Xue was also full of joy before leaving, so she no longer panicked.

But Xue Pan came back to his senses in the carriage, and when he saw the little maid behind Baochai alone, and didn't see Xiangling, he asked anxiously;
"Hey, that's not right. Aren't there four of you when you went in just now? Why are there only three? What about Xiangling?"

Mother Xue and Baochai didn't speak for a while, what should I say?

Seeing the two of them like this, Xue Pan became a little anxious and asked;
"It's talking, what about people?"

"Stay in the Hou Mansion."

Xue Baochai had no choice but to answer.

Xue Pan immediately became angry and said loudly;

"What's the matter? Why did you stay in the Hou's mansion? Could it be that a dignified Lord Hou can't snatch a woman."

"You are a murderer, you say something nonsense, and you think you have caused a lot of trouble. It is not what Luo Yunhou wants, but the main one in Chang'an County. Besides, I also talked with Mrs. Wang. Our Xue Mansion is like this now. I also lost a backer, so I talked with Mrs. Wang to let Baochai enter the Hou Mansion as an equal wife, and our Xue family will rely on the Hou Mansion to do business."

Xue Pan, who was about to get angry, was also dumbfounded and didn't react for a while. Xue Baochai also looked at his mother in disbelief. Shy, how good this is.

"Mother, why did this happen? You just sold your sister and Xue's house."

Xue Pan still doesn't understand what his mother is doing, how good it is, that he doesn't have to worry about food or drink every day.

"What do you know, have you asked about the business at home, did you know about those shopkeepers who lied to our mother and son, did you ask about your uncle embezzling the money in the account, did you think about us when you committed a crime and your sister and I tried to ask for help! "

Mother Xue explained these things in detail, and burst into tears for a while, Xue Pan also stopped talking, knowing that he had made things difficult for his mother and sister, but when he thought of his sister, he also felt powerless, as if there was something unwilling in his heart, but since his father When he passed away, he seemed to have lost his restraint, hey.
