The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 237 Never Mention Marriage
In the Ziwei Sheren cafeteria, Baoyu, Jia Rong, and Jia Huan gather here to eat wine with Xue Pan.

Since Xue Pan's restaurant opened, several people have often gathered here.

In the past, both Baoyu and Jia Rong looked down on Jia Huan, but since Jia Huan also came back from the Yeduju barracks, they found Jia Huan much more pleasing to the eye.

Because of the common enemy of Jia Min, several people formed a group indistinctly. Whenever Jia Min was mentioned, no matter whether the matter was good or bad, they would first slander Jia Min.

No matter what Jia Min wants to do in the government, he will not get their positive comments and support.

In short, whatever Jia Min supports, they oppose.Whatever Jia Min opposed, they supported.It's all about opposing.

However, their objections were more verbal and more behind the scenes.Tell them to object in front of Jia Min, they still don't have the courage.

Of course, their own interpretation does not work that way.They themselves call this not being as knowledgeable as Jia Min.

What makes them feel a little depressed is that now people in the house are not willing to hear them speak ill of Fourth Min.Not only the masters, but also the servants.

Although the servants did not dare to speak out, as soon as they mentioned Jia Min, the servants made excuses to avoid it.

Therefore, a few people gathered here to Xue Pan from time to time.Only here can several people find a common language.

Xue Pan naturally welcomed them.Not only actively participate in their topics.There is also food and drink every time.Xue Pan didn't care even if he came many times.As long as they can complain together vigorously and pick out Jia Min's various problems, Xue Pan will be happier than making money.

"Come on, let me raise a glass, for today's good news, do one."

Baoyu raised his cup and drank it first.The rest of the people also dried up in one gulp.

"Brother Bao, is the news accurate this time?"

Xue Pan still had some doubts, and he couldn't believe that the good news would come so soon.

"This time it's for sure. When I came here, I met Lian's second brother back to the mansion. He told me personally, and the emperor also issued an order. The departure on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month is set. Their proclamation of promotion to a higher level is all the same. Come down, you can't fake it anymore."

"Oh, it's a pity that the second brother Lian, Qin Zhong, and Jia Qiang are the best of them. It turns out that they are the best with Brother Rong, and it is the fourth brother Min who messed up. Now I see Brother Rong. , are all indifferent.”

Whenever there is an opportunity, Jia Huan never forgets to bring hatred to Jia Min and others, and tries his best to provoke the relationship between Jia Min and others.

"It's all the fourth brother Min who made our family go crazy. Thinking about how proud we were in the mansion at the beginning, who didn't compliment us, but now people in this mansion all use that old man Min Si is now a baby."

When Jia Min was mentioned, Baoyu became furious.

"It's alright this time, the karma of the fourth brother Min has arrived, and he played himself in the gutter. When we get to Nabukui, we don't even think about coming back. It's just a pity that he also abducted our family members into it. Unlucky to be buried with him."

Several people drank to their heart's content, vented to their heart's content, and only then returned to the mansion after seeing that the hour had passed.

Baoyu drank happily and went to bed early now, so he went directly to Daiyu's place.It happened that Yingchun, Tanchu, Xichun and Shi Xiangyun were all there, so he was even more excited.

"What are you talking about?"

"We are talking about Fourth Brother Min going to Ninggu Pagoda. If this is true, Fourth Brother Min will suffer."

Shi Xiangyun has a straightforward personality, saying whatever comes to mind.

"It's also he who deserves retribution. If he didn't commit suicide, how would he be today. It would be better if he never came back after he left."

Baoyu was frustrated in the wild crossing, and whenever he saw Jia Min, his legs would tremble from time to time.However, as long as Jia Min is not in front of him, he is always unscrupulous in his actions and words.Due to the love of the ancestors and Mrs. Wang, the status in the mansion is still very high.

Seeing Baoyu say this, the girls were shocked.They also knew that Baoyu and Jia Min had always been at odds, so they couldn't say anything.He just looked at Baoyu in surprise.

"What are you doing in a daze? Am I wrong? If it wasn't for Min's fourth brother showing off, how could he be shot out of the head? Now the second brother Lian, Qin Zhong and the children of the clan are all implicated, and they are with him to die."

Daiyu listened, and felt that what Baoyu said seemed reasonable, but it didn't seem right.For a while, I couldn't figure it out.

"My fourth brother, he can think about some harm and harm people all day long. The previous things have passed, so I won't talk about it. I will only talk about the latest things. If you hold an annual meeting, you can hold an annual meeting, and awards are not the same. What a bad thing. But, I have to come up with an award for the best loser."

"Tell me, what is his intention? Who is he giving this best prodigal award to? Isn't it for me, Brother Rong and Brother Xue? Brother Xue is not from our family, so he is away. It’s me and Brother Rong.”

"Brother Rong is from the East Mansion again. I'm the only one left in our mansion? Isn't this Best Prodigal Award just for me? Tell me, where did I become a prodigal?"

"Second brother Bao, don't get excited. Fourth brother Min is not that kind of person. I've also heard that this award may not be judged."

Tanchun felt that Baoyu's words were too outrageous, so he wanted to stop him from talking.

"Tanchun, don't speak for that Min Lao Si. I know that you were all bought by Min Lao Si with a small favor. What kind of shares did he give you, and he gave you money to set up a poetry club? You got his The good thing is to speak for him."

"I didn't speak for him. How can I say that he is also our brother."

"Hmph, don't mention the word "brother" to me. When he locked me in the cage, did he ever think of me as a brother? Now it's his time to be unlucky, okay, happy! Huh? Don't go, I Is it wrong..."

"Miss Smith, don't go away yet. Let me tell you, I heard that your uncle is going to propose marriage to you and betroth you to the fourth son Min. Go back and tell your uncle that the fourth son Min is in trouble. You follow him, no?" Good result. He won't be able to come back when he arrives in Bukui."

"Did Miss Bao come? Haven't you been here for a long time? This Miss Bao is getting more and more mature, huh? Where are you? Why are you all gone? I'm doing it for you."

Hmph, fortunately I was smart and escaped from Yedujuli pretending to be a fool, otherwise, wouldn't I have to go to Bukui now?Once you get there, can you come back?

Xue Pan got drunk and went home.

"Mother, sister, come out quickly and tell you good news. Xiangling, quickly bring the wine, I want another drink."

Aunt Xue and Baochai came out.

"You demon king of the world, you've already drank so much, do you still want to drink?"

"Be happy today, drink some more."

"What kind of happy event happened to brother, so happy?"

"A happy event, a great happy event, it's really a joy. Have you heard that the fourth brother Min is going to be unlucky, very unlucky."

"Brother, don't talk nonsense. Even if Fourth Brother Min has something to do, he will take care of it himself. Besides, we live in other people's homes, and my brother yells like this. It's not decent for people to listen to him."

"Sister, why are you talking to the fourth son of Min? Oh, I understand. It turns out that the rumor in this house recently that the mother is going to betroth you to the fourth son of Min is true? Sister, you haven't Passing through the door, why did you talk to Na Min's fourth brother?"

"Brother is talking nonsense again, mother, don't talk about him."

"You devil king, don't talk nonsense, where is this, why didn't I hear it."

Aunt Xue began to deny it.

"Someone must have mentioned this, otherwise how could it have spread, and why no one said to propose marriage to me? Oh, I understand, no wonder my sister has always talked about the fourth brother Min in recent days , So that’s the case.”

"Sister, the fourth son of Namin is unreliable. This time he is unlucky. When he gets to Nabukui, he won't be able to come back. If he marries him, he will be a widow..."

Baochai cried angrily, so she had to go back to her room.

Aunt Xue wanted to reprimand her son again, but Xue Pan was already drunk and fell asleep.

Jia Huan didn't go back to the mansion directly. After breaking up with Baoyu and others, he walked aimlessly on the street with his servant Qian Huai and his long follower Zhao Guoji.

Seeing that a tavern was still open, I went in.

He was very happy and wanted to drink some more.

That goddamn fourth brother Min is going to be unlucky, how can he be unhappy.

When the food and wine were served, Jia Huan was about to drink when he saw Qian Huai and his uncle Zhao Guoji standing aside.

"Why are you still standing? Sit down and drink. I am happy today. You can have a few more drinks with me."

The two were exactly what they wanted, so they sat down to drink with their master.

"You see, I had the foresight at the beginning, and tried every means to come back from Yeduju. Otherwise, wouldn't I have to go to Nabukui after the New Year?"

"Do you know where Nabukui is? It's a place of bitter cold in the extreme north, thousands of miles away from Ninggu Pagoda. If you go there, you won't come back."

"This fourth brother Min, he himself is not a pity to die, but he shouldn't drag Second Brother Lian and the others to be buried with him..."

While Jia Huan was drinking and talking, Zhao Guoji agreed with him, and at the same time, he made up his mind.

Before that, he was most envious of Jiao Li and Li Gui.

Both of them redeemed themselves because they followed Jia Min.Now he has become a military officer, and he is majestic every day.

Just a few days ago, he had been very envious of them.Now, he knows that he is lucky.

Although the two of them had become officials, they were going to Pukui now, where they were going to die.What's the use of being a senior official?It would be much safer to be a slave here.

In Qian Huai's heart, he was also calculating.

It seems that Fourth Master Min really offended these people deeply.However, seeing Fourth Master Min doing things is all for the sake of the mansion.Even if you treat servants, you can't find one out of ten.

Thinking about redeeming the servants, so that the servants can make more money.Where can I find such a master?Anyway, in all these years, I haven't seen one.

Even if he was treating his master, how could Fourth Master Min feel sorry?If there is no Fourth Master Min, how can the mansion be where it is today?A bus carriage and a military training have dragged down the mansion. Will the masters of the mansion still live happily like today?

Even if he went to Bukui, that was the imperial court's will.Even if there is no Fourth Master Min, if you are told to go, how dare you not go in your house?If there is no fourth master Min, the mansion will not be able to escape the matter of military training.I'm afraid that the ones going to Bukui at this time are you, Third Master Huan, Second Master Bao and Uncle Rong.

Now that Fourth Master Min has died for you, not only are you not grateful for him, but you are also cursing him behind your back?Are you guys like this?
Fortunately, you still go to ethnology and read the books of sages and sages every day. Could it be that your books have been read into the stomachs of dogs?

The next day, word spread from the mansion.It is said that Aunt Xue went to chat with the old lady and Mrs. Wang, and mentioned the rumors in the house that she wanted to betroth Miss Bao to Jia Min.

Aunt Xue said that those were just rumors, and she never had such a plan.

A day later, a similar story came from the historian, saying that the betrothal of Smith to Jia Min was also a rumor.Historians have no such plan.
