The Red Mansion En Xiaohou

Chapter 23 The Xue family is here
Jia Min had already fallen out with Lin Ruhai when she chose to marry her.

At that time, Jia's family was a family of two peoples, and it was already in a state of burning oil.

Jia Min was brought up by Jia Daishan since she was a child, and she was well versed in poetry and books.

Jia's mother insisted on marrying Jia Min into the royal family. Jia Min could not stop her, and neither could Jia Daishan.

To be on the safe side, Jia's mother still handed over Jia Min's nameplate without telling the whole family.

Jia Min was completely furious and had a falling out with Jia Mu.

Jia Daishan knelt in front of the emperor, cried and begged before removing Jia Min's nameplate, and asked for another decree to marry Jia Min to Lin Ruhai, the flower of that year.

Only in this way did Jia's mother's desire to be the emperor's mother-in-law be extinguished, and the relationship between Jia Min and Jia's mother was completely cold since then.

This is an unknown past.

Time flies, and Jia Lian secures his position as the magistrate of Wanping County. He goes to the Yamen every day and occasionally handles some petty theft cases. He lives a very happy life.

At the pier in Kyoto, Xue's boat slowly approached the capital.

Xue Pan beat someone to death in Jinling, Aunt Xue sent Xue Baochai a small election, and his family moved to the capital.

Mrs. Wang Jia Zheng went to greet him personally.

When Jia Shan came back from school, her servants took her directly to Jia Mu's yard.

Standing in the yard, Jia Shan was a little confused. Why did the Xue family ask him, a brother of a big family, to do this? He and the Xue family were not related.

At this time, the house was very lively.

Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Jia Muwang, chatted with Aunt Xue, while Jia Baoyu surrounded the newly arrived Xue Baochai.

Sanchun and Lin Daiyu sat together, looking at Xue Baochai with a smile.

"Old lady, Fourth Master is here."

The servants came in to announce and bowed their bodies to salute Jiamu.

Jia Mu said lightly, "Let him in."

When the servants went down, Aunt Xue chatted with Jia Mu flatteringly.

"Old lady, you are the grandson who is studying in the Imperial College."

"It's him, but he doesn't count as studying at the Imperial Academy, but just studying social studies under the name of the Imperial Academy."

Talking to Aunt Xue, Jia's mother's eyes flickered with contempt that no one else could see.

Aunt Xue continued to hold Jia Mu in her arms and said, "That's incredible. I heard in Jinling that this social science school can go directly to the Imperial College, and the people who study there are all the young masters from the top cadres and noble families in our society."

Jason was brought in.

Instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the room, Jia Shan was still holding her book box in her hand.

"old lady."

Jia Shan put down the bookcase in her hand, and saluted Jia Mu respectfully.

Aunt Xue's eyes looked up and down Jia Shan's body.

Unlike Jia Baoyu, Jia Shan is more handsome and looks elegant.

Surprise flashed in Aunt Xue's eyes.

Jia Shan's skin, as picky as Jia's mother, has to admit that she is top-notch.

Mother Jia's face was satisfied.

Jia Baoyu curled his lips in disdain.

"Shan'er, come and meet your second wife's natal sister, Aunt Xue."

"Hello Aunt Xue!"

Jia Shan obeyed Jia Mu's words and bowed to Aunt Xue in a polite manner.

Aunt Xue completely ignored Mrs. Wang's expression next to her and pulled Jia Shan forward, staring at Jia Shan's face.

"The old lady's brothers are really as good as the other. My brother has a fat head and big ears. When I see this, I can't wait to take him home and raise him.

I don't know why, but your brother always looks familiar to me, as if I've seen him somewhere. "

But that's what Jia Baoyu said when he first met Daiyu.

He had never been to Jinling, let alone met any of the Xue family, this familiar way of striking up a conversation.

Jia Shan stared at Aunt Xue in front of her, wondering what she could say.

Aunt Xue took Jia Shan's hand and began to think.

The scene was a little quiet, and Xue Baochai said softly: "Mom, you are really confused. Brother Shan has never left the capital. How have you ever seen him before?"

Aunt Xue, who came to her senses, smiled awkwardly.

"I've definitely never seen him before, so I thought about it and wondered why this guy looked familiar to me.

The old lady, this brother is so similar to Shen Huiyuan, who won the laurels at the Luming Banquet last year, that he was carved out of the same mold. "

Everyone in the room showed a smile.

"That's what Auntie said."

Wang Xifeng covered her mouth with a handkerchief and looked at Aunt Xue with a smile.

"My nephew looks like my uncle. Then Shen Huiyuan is my brother Shan's biological uncle. How can I not look like him?"

Aunt Xue's eyes flashed with shock.

"I can't blame you. Why is this brother so good-looking? He is actually Huiyuan's nephew."

The literary style in Jiangnan was at its peak, and scholars were particularly valued.

Aunt Xue held Jia Shan's hand a little tighter.

"Good boy, I still have your elder brother in my family. He is not up to expectations. In the future, we will play with him more often."

Jia Shan smiled slightly at Aunt Xue.

Today, Jia Shan won enough face for Jia's mother, and Jia's mother left Jia Shan for dinner.

Jia Shan, Sanchun Daiyu and others sat at the same table.

Jia Baoyu had a stinky face.

When Jia Shan didn't come, everyone gathered around him. When Jia Shan came, everyone's attention was on him.

Seeing Jia Baoyu's unhappiness, Tanchun poked Jia Baoyu's arm.

"Second brother, what's wrong with you?"

Jia Baoyu glanced at Jia Shan depressedly, and then turned his attention to Tanchun.

"Third sister, do you think I'm really not as good as Jia Shan?"

"What did the second brother say?"

Tanchun froze for a moment, she never thought that Jia Baoyu would ask her this question.

"They are all brothers, how can we compare them."

Tanchun carefully avoided answering.

Jia Baoyu had a look of grievance on his face.

"You see, when he comes, everyone is surrounding him, but they still have me in their eyes."

"Don't think too much about second brother. Shan'er doesn't come here often. It's normal for everyone to surround him when he finally comes."

Tanchun consoled Jia Baoyu with a chopstick of his favorite dish.

Jia Baoyu ate the food in the bowl in silence.

Jia Baoyu felt the most obvious changes in Jia Shan's status in this mansion.

In the past, Mother Jia never mentioned it because she didn't like Jia Shan.

Now I still ask occasionally.

Regardless of whether the question was about good or bad things, Jia Baoyu felt that his status was threatened.

At this moment, Lin Daiyu was questioning Jia Shan's knowledge.

With the help of Lin Daiyu, Jia Shan has learned most of the Analects.

After a few days of study, I will be completely finished.

Xue Baochai stared at Jia Shan.

Jia Shan answered Lin Daiyu's questions fluently, Xue Baochai couldn't help but nodded in his heart.

At the same time, he also became interested in Daiyu, a girl whose appearance is not inferior to his own.

"Sister Lin has already finished studying the Four Books."

Xue Baochai smiled and asked Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu nodded and smiled in return.

"When I was at home, I finished learning from my master."

Envy flashed in Xue Baochai's eyes.

She also loved reading since she was a child, but unfortunately her mother didn't like her to read too much.

I feel that a woman's lack of talent is virtue. If she hadn't been loved by her father, I'm afraid she wouldn't have had the chance to touch the book.

"Where's my sister?"

Lin Daiyu asked Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai was obviously startled for a moment, then when he realized what he was doing, a look of regret and shame flashed across his face.

"My mother often said that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue. I learned some on my own at home, but I can't compare to my sister who has someone to teach her."

"This is all trivial."

"The old lady said that my sister is here for the election."

Xue Baochai nodded.

"I have passed the first test, and I am waiting for the retest."

"I heard that this audition in the palace is to select a companion for the princess and princess. The requirements for women's appearance and literature are very high. It is really impressive that my sister can pass the preliminary examination just by studying on her own."

Lin Daiyu praised Xue Baochai comfortingly.

Xue Baochai looked embarrassed and did not reply to Lin Daiyu's words.

Jia Shan ate quietly, not participating in the conversation.

Xue Baochai's eyes fell on Jia Shan again, and Lin Daiyu brought some vegetables to Jia Shan.

This is undoubtedly an oath of sovereignty.

When Xue Baochai saw this scene, a meaningful look flashed in his eyes.
