Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 39 The Snake Problem
In the Bilian Room of the Bamboo Courtyard, Mrs. Wu was chatting with Mrs. Xue, and Mrs. Bilian and Mrs. Fang were also chatting without saying a word. Suddenly, there was a shrill cry from outside the room, which made several people shut up.

"It's Bo Chao's voice, Zixuan, go and see what's wrong?" Bilian reacted quickly, and asked the maid to go out and have a look.

Not long after, Zixuan led Bo Chao and Yuxian into the house, "Go back to grandma, the third young master and Miss Yuxian are playing together, and Miss Yuxian got a snake out of nowhere and scared the third young master." .” Zixuan stepped forward to reply.

Bi Lian was overjoyed when she heard it, and instead of lying down, she sat up directly, and Zi Ling hurriedly put the pillow on her. "Bo Chao was scared? You are not joking, our third young master has always been there to scare others." Bi Lian didn't believe it, and called Xue Bochao over to have a look, her son was really crying, tears hanging on his eyelashes, Sobbing.Bilian couldn't help laughing again, "Son, look at you like that, haha, mother hasn't seen you cry for several years, your father doesn't cry when he beats you, does he?"

The old lady Xue couldn't laugh or cry when she saw Bilian's appearance; "Bilian, your son is crying in fright, it's fine if you don't comfort him, why are you still laughing at him?" She waved to Bo Chao, "Good grandson, come here Here, grandma, tell grandma what's going on?" Saying that, he took Bo Chao into his arms.

Xue Bochao told grandma what happened just now, including the fact that he used frogs and spiders to scare Yuxian first. After he finished speaking, he said a little embarrassedly: "I was thinking about what to scare my sister again, but I didn't expect her to scare Yuxian. Even holding a small snake and shaking it in front of me, I screamed in fright."

Now even the old lady Xue laughed, "I let you play tricks on people all day long. In the past, when you played tricks on the girls of your uncle's family, grandma and your mother didn't care about you because they didn't know how to read people's faces. They are not welcome, but you insist on coming. But your little cousin is different. She was picked up by your mother after a lot of difficulty. How can this be the same? Your mother has already said it just now, but you just don’t listen. It’s all right now. Well, I didn't scare others, but I scared myself enough, it seems that someone can finally restrain you, the demon king of the world." The old lady laughed and burst into tears.The three children of the Xue family are very naughty, the older two are more stable after studying, but the younger one is simply lawless, even Xue Jinyu is not afraid of beating him.

Fang's face darkened: "Yuxian, come here." He called Yuxian to her side, "You child, how can you catch a snake to scare your cousin? Hurry up and apologize to your cousin."

Yuxian walked up to her cousin, suppressed a smile and said, "Cousin, I'm sorry, Yuxian shouldn't scare you."

Xue Bochao was embarrassed: "Sister, don't say that. I just wanted to scare you, but you scared me. It's my fault."

Bilian also said: "Sister, don't blame Yuxian, this Bochao has frightened many girls, let him taste it today, see if he dares in the future? By the way, Yuxian, snake What? You didn't get bitten by it, did you?"

Yuxian raised the little snake in her hand, "Auntie, the snake is here, it can't bite me." Fang hurriedly asked Yuxian to throw the snake away, but Yuxian refused, "Mother, this snake can't be thrown away, this one This guy is not what we should have in the north at all. This is a green snake with bamboo leaves in the south. It is poisonous, and it will kill people if it bites. How can there be a poisonous snake in the south in this aunt's mansion? And, mother, don't you think that aunt? Is the baby strange? How old is she, and she will fall?" This is what Yuxian thought of when she saw the snake, so she would not let it go. If it was an ordinary snake, she would have thrown it to Xue Bochao body went.

Fang Bilian's face changed immediately, "Zixuan, go ask someone to bring you back, and tell him that you have something to look for." Then she said, "Ziling, find something to put this snake in, don't let Xianer keep holding it. Come on, it's no fun to bite." The two maids followed suit and went to work.

Xue Jinyu didn't go out today, and was listening to the stewards in the front yard. He also faintly heard Bo Chao's voice just now.As soon as Zixuan left, he immediately followed him back. "Billian, what happened?"

Bilian asked Jinyu to show the little snake that Yuxian caught. Xue Jinyu was a traveler, so he naturally knew this snake. "Uncle Fu, bring me a few people to check. Which of our family's servants is from the south, and has anyone from the house brought back some weird things these days?" Uncle Fu went out. , Xue Jinyu knelt down in front of Mrs. Wu, "Mother, it's Jinyu who is incompetent. She can't even protect her wife and daughter. She gave people an opportunity and almost killed Bilian and her daughter."

Mrs. Wu helped her son-in-law up, "Jinyu, you don't have to blame yourself, this tiger still has time to take a nap, not to mention you are away all the time, how can you take care of your family, hey, it's also the years you have been married, you have been Everything is safe and sound, you and Bilian are both negligent."

The old lady Xue has been silent since Yuxian finished those few words. At this moment, she suddenly thought of something and suddenly raised her head, "Jinyu, send someone to watch Wen He and her maidservants in my yard. Get up and don't allow them to move around at will."

"Mother, you mean—" Jinyu looked at her mother, "I can't, she's your real niece." She suddenly stopped talking as if she remembered something.

"It's my niece, and that person's niece." Mrs. Xue suddenly seemed to be several years older, "I thought that we had already left the house and lived far away from the capital, so we would never be with them again." If there is any conflict, they won't want to harm you anymore, but I didn't expect it." The old lady looked very sad.

"In-laws, there are some things that you can't avoid. When Bilian rescued Jinyu, Jinyu was only breathless, and there were wounds all over her body. You didn't see that." Wu Shi said It was only when Yuxian listened to what happened in the past that she realized that her aunt was her uncle's savior.

Yuxian was listening to the mother-in-law and Xue's mother and son talking like a riddle. She didn't understand, she only knew that someone was trying to harm the aunt and uncle, but it was wrong? "Uncle, you'd better keep quiet and let someone find a better doctor. I caught this snake outside. If there is nothing to lure it, it will not enter the house. If someone wants to harm my aunt, Then there must be something in the house that can lure the snake." This is what I saw in the Gongdou drama in my previous life.

Xue Jinyu was stunned for a moment, "Yuxian, you are right, thanks to you today, you are really your aunt's lucky star, I will find someone right away, I have a good friend who is good at medicine." Then he said to the maids present Said: "Today's affairs, you are not allowed to say a word, wait until everything is found out. If someone asks, remember who asked, what they asked, and tell me without saying a word." .” The maids in the room are nothing more than Zixuan and Hongqu.

After such a thing happened, she didn't even have the time to chat anymore, so Mrs. Xue got up and went back to the Orchid Court, her mind was heavy when she left.Mrs. Fang hadn't rested yet, and stayed here for another morning, and she was a little tired, so she asked someone to call Xiao Si Xiao Wu back, and the mothers went back to the chrysanthemum courtyard to rest, leaving Wu Shi worried. Daughter, stay here with me.

Back in the chrysanthemum courtyard, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu went back to the house to read. Fang was a little tired, so she lay down on the wooden couch in the house to rest for a while, and Yu Xian sat beside Fang, "Mother, can you give me Tell me about your aunt and uncle?"

Fang thought for a while, and began to tell Yuxian about the events of that year.

Xue Jinyu was the third son of the Marquis of Jingnan in the capital city. Back then, the Marquis of Jingnan married Zheng Xinyao, the daughter of the famous Zheng family, and gave birth to two sons.When Zheng Xinyao gave birth to her second son, her younger sister Zheng Xinting came to visit her elder sister, but she fell in love with Jingnan Hou at first sight.Zheng Xinting willingly became Jingnanhou's concubine for love, and Xue Jinyu was born a year later. Jingnanhou loved Xue Jinyu like a treasure. From then on, Zheng Xinyao and her two sons hated Xue Jinyu and his wife to the bone.

When Xue Jinyu was 19 years old, he went to the Northeast to purchase a batch of medicinal materials. He was chased and killed on the way, and all the people accompanying him were killed. Xue Jinyu was also seriously injured and his life was dying.In a critical situation, she jumped into the river and was rescued by 15-year-old Fang Bilian. Xue Jinyu spent nearly two months recovering from her injuries at Bilian's home.During the recovery period, Bilian took care of her meticulously, and the two fell in love secretly.Xue Jinyu gave Bilian a jade pendant as a token before leaving after recovering from her injury. When Wu saw the jade pendant, she even took out a jade pendant that could be put together with this one.

It turned out that when Fang's father was still an official in the capital, he had a close relationship with Jingnanhou. When Wu's family was pregnant with Bilian for six months, Jingnanhou took Xue Jinyu to Fang's house to visit an old friend. The Bilian in Wu's belly was promised to Xue Jinyu, and left a pair of jade as a token.Later, Fang's father was convicted and dismissed from office, and when he returned to Xijiang Village, he didn't dare to think about his marriage.Xue Jinyu knew that her savior was actually his father's wife who was married by his father's fingertips. He was overjoyed and hurried back to Beijing to prepare for the wedding.

At this time, Jingnan Hou suffered from the old wounds from his early battles again. The old man was afraid that he would not be able to bear it and delay his son's marriage, so he hurriedly asked his son to help him.Bilian married into the Hou family at the age of 16, and Jingnan Hou died half a year later.Zheng Xinyao and her two sons made things difficult for Jinyu and his wife several times. Finally, Xue Jinyu broke out of the house and brought his wife and mother to the Yalu Mansion to set up a new home.

Xue Jinyu is a business prodigy, and within a few years, she has made a fortune and established a huge property.The three mothers and sons in Beijing met, and they came to reconcile the old relationship. Zheng Xinting thought of her sister's family relationship, so she gradually got in touch with the capital.

Now Yuxian finally figured out why her mother married into Tong's family, but her aunt married into a wealthy family. It turns out that everything can only be said to be a destiny.No wonder the auntie and his wife have such a good relationship. The Xue family is so rich that Xue Jinyu has never seen Xue Jinyu take a concubine.In addition to loving his aunt deeply, it may also have something to do with his mother's experience.
