A journey to the heavens starting from the Red Mansion

Chapter 219 The situation of the Xue family
Jinling Xue Mansion, in the main hall.

On a spring afternoon, the courtyard is filled with fragrance, but the atmosphere inside the courtyard is as cold as winter, piercing the heart!
Aunt Xue was sitting on the kang inside the house, her lips were tightly pursed, her brows and eyes were full of anger, and Tong Xi and Tong Gui carefully served her.

The two names "Tongxi" and "Tonggui" are different from the names of other maids in the Red Mansion. To a certain extent, they symbolize Aunt Xue's temperament and expose her tacky taste.

Therefore, under her education, her son Xue Pan was extravagant in temperament and arrogant in speech. Although he went to school for a few days, he only knew a few words and could only fight cocks, go horseback riding, and travel around the mountains all day long.

Xue Pan blatantly killed people. He was not an ordinary civilian. He was a wealthy owner of a family, but he superficially thought that spending a few dollars would be enough.

When Aunt Xue saw her son being beaten by Liu Xianglian, her first reaction was to tell Mrs. Wang and ask her to help her send people to find Liu Xianglian to vent her anger on her son.

The mother and son actually took off the fig leaf of a wealthy family and didn't even bother to cover it up.

Secondly, the names of these two girls also represent Aunt Xue's desire, hoping that the family will be "happy" and that the family will be "expensive".

The Xue family is an imperial businessman, but they have no official position, so they are "rich but not noble."

How can the Xue family become "expensive"?It is almost impossible to expect Aunt Xue's only son, Xue Pan, to become an official. She can only expect her daughter to marry into a "rich family".

However, another monk gave Xue Baochai a gold lock, and asked Xue Baochai to marry someone with jade.

Therefore, under Xue Pan's drag, with the record in hand, the Xue family, which the royal family disdained, withdrew from the election.

The Jia family, which is full of officials, became the Xue family's best choice, and Jia Baoyu, who had jade in the Jia family, became the Xue family's only choice.

Since the Xue family entered Beijing, they stayed in Jia's Mansion and never left on the pretext that they wanted to "stay with the sisters for a few days" with Mrs. Wang.

At the same time, the theory of "gold and jade" was widely spread in the Jia family, and the finger pointed at Daiyu.

Under Aunt Xue's calculations, Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu finally came out ahead in the competition.

The representative phenomenon is that Daiyu died before getting married, and Xue Baochai married into the Jia family as Aunt Xue's wish.

It's a pity that the Jia family at this time is neither "noble" nor "rich". Aunt Xue's hope that the family will become "noble" finally came to nothing.

Aunt Xue seems to be a good wife on weekdays, but Mrs. Wang's cruel treatment of Jinchuan'er and her targeting of Daiyu made Daiyu even more sensitive and resentful.

This is still the result of Jia Mu's protection, which shows how they use the women in the courtyard.

Having been in charge of the Xue family for so many years, Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin, the second wife, could easily be suppressed. If they said they had no means, the dogs would shake their heads after hearing this.

At that time, I also dealt with unruly concubines and naughty maids. It was not unreasonable to send them out of the house, and even to lose their lives.

The fate of concubines and maids, whose status in feudal society was higher than that of slaves, was really not fate.

Standing on the corridor outside the window was an old steward with four or five young men in green clothes and five or six strong women, staring at the four young men kneeling on the ground.

In the house, Aunt Xue walked around anxiously. Xue Baochai stood aside with a lonely face. After a long time, she sighed and persuaded softly.

"Mom, don't be too sad. You may have hurt your body. According to what the doctor said, my brother will be fine."

Aunt Xue cried and said: "If it was just normal falling and bumping, I would be used to it, so why would I be so worried? But the blood was dripping, which was really surprising. Who on earth could have been stabbed a thousand times to do such a cruel thing?" , bullying us orphans and widowed mothers?"

After that, he cursed out the window: "You just watch your uncle being beaten. If you don't explain clearly what happened at that time, he will be beaten to death!"

The old man in the corridor was an old man from the Xue family. Hearing Aunt Xue's words, he stared at Xue Pan's four followers and shouted. "Did you hear me clearly? If you don't explain the details of this matter, there will be no way for you to survive today."

When the four boys heard this, their hands and feet were trembling and they couldn't control themselves.

One person cried: "It's not that we didn't dare to step forward to stop him, it's because that person was so valuable that we didn't dare to take action just because of his power. Moreover, he later said that he was a relative of our family, named Lin Yao, and later He also said..."

"What else?"

"This is just a small punishment. He said that the uncle's words humiliated him. After a while, he came to his door and asked for an explanation..."

Before she finished speaking, Aunt Xue almost fainted from anger.

Why are there such shameless people?Beat up your precious heart like this, if it weren't for that brainy melon, you wouldn't be able to recognize it as my son.

Isn't that just a bit of a mouthful? Isn't that what it is?
No matter how bastard her son was in the past, he would never have been beaten so severely. It was obvious that that guy named Lin Yao really didn't take the Xue family seriously.

Who dared to treat their family like this in Jinling while the master was still alive.

Nowadays, not only are there stores all over the country, but the revenue is also decreasing. It is obvious that the branches are weak and the leaves are prosperous, and they are also bullied to the head.

If it weren't for her eldest brother Wang Ziteng, all the jackals, tigers and leopards would want a piece of the Xue family's pie, but I don't know which family is so anxious.

Thinking about it this way, Aunt Xue was so angry that her heart ached.

Xue Baochai saw her mother's face turned pale and swaying. She hurriedly stepped forward to support her and cried.

"Mom, things haven't come to their worst yet. If you get hurt, what will I do in the future?"

Aunt Xue hugged Xue Baochai and cried loudly: "It's all my fault that the Xue family is not prosperous. No one dares to ride on it.

Your second uncle also has bad intentions. He always wants to become the main line and divide one family into two.If it weren't for God's retribution, we orphans and widowed mothers would probably have to live with others.

I must find your aunt, use the power of the Jia family to find that person, and try my best to send him to prison. "

Xue Baochai frowned slightly when she heard this. Although she didn't care much about outsiders' affairs, even if she occasionally thought about it, it would pass by in a flash.

She also knew that what Aunt Xue said, except about Lin Yao, was too far-fetched to evaluate his second uncle.

If it wasn't for the second uncle's intention to give in, Aunt Xue would have been killed long ago based on her management skills.

But now she couldn't reason with Aunt Xue, so she comforted her.

"If this is the case, when my brother recovers a little, we will immediately seek help from my aunt and borrow the power of the Jia family to avenge my brother. As for the second uncle, we can also move. Out of sight, out of sight.

After learning this lesson, my brother doesn't dare to act recklessly. Isn't it a good thing?As the saying goes: Every time you take a step, you gain wisdom.

If I can keep my brother safe in the future, let alone a lesson that hurts my skin but not my bones, I am willing to live with someone else. "

Aunt Xue was deeply moved when she heard this. She took Xue Baochai's hand and said, "My son, if only your brother had been as sensible as you and worked hard to make progress, I would be satisfied even if I close my eyes right now."
