Chapter four hundred and eighty
Shenjing, Rongguo Mansion.
Lixiangyuan.
There is a stone green gold python pillow on the kang in the main room, and a large autumn-scented gold python mattress is laid. Aunt Xue is resting tilted on the kang.
Two girls, Tongxi and Tonggui, were sitting by the kang, holding two "Buddha" small wooden hammers and gently knocking her legs.
In ancient times, noble ladies in the inner house were less active, so they often used this method to relax and fast.
The later mother of the Republic of China relied on this kind of massage technique and lived to be over 100 years old even though she didn't exercise much...
Just as Aunt Xue was lying on the warm kang and gradually fell asleep, she heard a girl in the outside world asking him: "Is the girl back?"
Aunt Xue opened her eyes, turned her head and looked at the curtain, and saw Baochai coming in with a smile on her face.
Aunt Xue smiled at Zhili and said, "Why are you back now? Your aunt didn't keep you for a reunion banquet?"
Baochai smiled and said, "It's still a reunion banquet, it's almost a mess there."
"Yo! What's wrong with this?"
Aunt Xue said strangely.
Baochai smiled and said, "Mom doesn't know what happened?"
Aunt Xue said, "I heard from your aunt that your brother Bao is naughty again, but nothing is so great, why did it start to make trouble again?"
Baochai asked Tongxi and Tonggui to rest, and then asked Ying'er, who had arrived to serve, to take the cloud-white green patterned brocade and feather satin cloak on her body and return to the inner room, and said, "It was my uncle who knew about Brother Bao, so he went to the old lady's courtyard and wanted to beat him. Naturally, the old lady would not allow it, and she vomited blood with anger."
"Ouch!"
Aunt Xue was frightened when she heard this and hurriedly said, "It's a good thing, it's not a big deal, why did it reach this point?"
Although Baochai never wanted to talk about the strengths of others behind his back, she couldn't help but shake her head in front of her mother, "In theory, Brother Bao is a bit frivolous. Ping'er is now a member of Brother Cong's room, and Xiaoqi is her girl, so naturally she is also a member of Brother Cong's room. How can anyone who is a brother go to fight against the brother's room? My uncle now values Brother Cong's most. How can he not be upset after learning about this?"
When Aunt Xue heard this, she saw that Baochai was also angry, and her heart couldn't help but sink.
But then he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Baochai was annoyed because Baoyu was restless.
She smiled kindly and said, "I know Baoyu, not a lustful person. I originally thought that your cousin is just like your brother, and he is an incompetent person. Later, after watching for a year, I found that he was not such a person. There must be misunderstandings here, don't blame him. Besides, Ping'er was originally from Lian'er's room."
Baochai frowned and said, "Mom, don't say that, these are two different things. Before she came with the Feng Yatou, brother Cong was never rude to Ping'er. Even though Baoyu's original intention was not like this, he was frivolous and bad manners and disrespectful. No wonder his uncle was so annoyed."
When Aunt Xue heard this, she finally confirmed that Baochai was not angry with Baoyu. She changed her face slightly and said softly: "Good girl, aren't you still thinking about Brother Cong in your heart?"
When mother and daughter talk, there is no need to be confused like outsiders.
Baochai's expression was stagnant when she heard this and she didn't say anything.
But isn't this the default?
Aunt Xue immediately panicked and hurriedly advised: "Good girl, you have always been obedient and sensible, but don't be stubborn and be confused! Have you forgotten what your aunt said to your uncle? If you do his job, just like the commander named Luo, you can still have a good end. Just like the one he killed in the prosperous era now, you have never heard of a good ending since ancient times!"
"Okay! Stop talking!"
Baochai doesn't like to listen to these words, so she stops her from saying.
But Aunt Xue was shocked. For more time, would her good daughter talk to her like this?
Baochai also realized that she had passed by herself and apologized: "Mom, I'm not disrespectful, I just think why I curse her? How much has Brother Cong helped me?"
Aunt Xue burst into tears and said, "This is not something we have no conscience to curse him. It is clearly the fact that your uncle and your aunt said! Good girl, you must not be confused! Your father left early and your brother is a dissatisfied person. If you act in a confused manner, your mother will really not be able to live. Let her rely on someone..."
Baochai felt sad in her heart when she was forced, and tears rolled down from Shui Xing's eyes, and she choked and said, "Mom, stop talking about these things, okay?"
Aunt Xue was still waiting for something to say, but when she saw Xue Pan coming in with a red face with a drunken body, she saw the mother and sister in the room crying, she was shocked and said, "Mom, sister, what's wrong?" She said without waiting for the answer, she spat on herself and said, "Oh! It's all mine. This New Year's Eve, I'm still having wine outside, I neglected my mother and sister and asked you to wait for me to come back for a reunion dinner. I'm such a beast..." After scolding, I felt confused again, blinked at Aunt Xue and Baochai, and said, "No, didn't Mom and Sister say that they would have dinner at their house in the morning?"
Seeing that he scolded himself as a beast indiscriminately, he realized that Aunt Xue and Baochai were angry and laughed.
Aunt Xue spat, "Damn it, what are you doing when you drink so much wine? After drinking, you'll be able to go to your house to hold a corpse. What's the matter with us?"
Xue Pan slapped his forehead and said annoyedly: "Don't mention it, I almost forgot to say it if my mother didn't ask me. I was originally planning to have fun together with Brother Lian and Jia Yun, and it was considered to be around for the New Year. Unexpectedly, there was another big incident in the palace, so we didn't even dare to eat the banquet anymore, and we left early and came back..."
Aunt Xue was frightened when she heard this and asked, "What happened in the palace?"
Xue Pan's face turned pale, and he smacked his lips and said, "It's amazing. The emperor has three sons, and only one of them died before, but today, even the remaining two died. Mom, is it a big deal that broke the sky?"
Aunt Xue and Baochai both turned pale when they heard this. Aunt Xue said, "My God! Why is it so dangerous?"
Xue Pan was also a little scared and said, "Who said it was not? I heard that all 100 single-eight houses in Chang'an have been completely martially and soldiers are everywhere. Now I really don't even dare to leave..."
Aunt Xue said in a fearful way: "You are also afraid?"
Xue Pan said stubbornly: "What am I afraid of? I didn't kill the left and right..."
"Shut up!"
"Brother is crazy!"
These words almost scared Aunt Xue and Baochai. After Xue Pan said this, he changed his face and hurriedly covered his mouth.
He was also scared by alcohol. He was afraid that Aunt Xue and Baochai would talk, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "By the way, Brother Lian and the others said that Brother Cong is probably coming back!"
Sure enough, after hearing this, Aunt Xue and Baochai forgot to criticize him.
The mother and daughter looked at each other and then separated their eyes. One looked ugly, but the other looked eager!
Xue Pan saw that something was wrong between the mother and daughter and asked in a low voice: "Sister, why are you upset about mom?"
Baochai didn't say anything, Xue Pan rarely returned cleverly. He looked at his sister, then looked at Aunt Xue, and smiled, "Because Brother Cong? Hehe! I knew that my sister must still be thinking about Brother Cong! Good! Excellent! My sister has such a good eye!"
Seeing Baochai crying when she heard this, Aunt Xue cursed angrily: "A bad guy is not good, and the slut is more decent than you! You have urinated too much cat pee, so why don't you push your corpse? What's the benefit of Brother Cong giving you? Do you want your sister to be bad?"
This was also annoyed and started to curse.
Xue Pan was used to being scolded every day, but he was not annoyed when he heard it. He grabbed his big head and smiled, "Mom, this is a lie. How could I be so fond of my sister? Mom, don't know how popular Brother Cong is outside. If you don't say anything, in the seventy-two buildings in Pingkangfang, you don't know how much money you have to pay for to see the courtesans on their building. But if Brother Cong goes, those women will pay for it! Tsk tsk tsk, go back to Jiangnan, on the pier outside Jinling City, there are more than one hundred of the top courtesans on the Qinhuai River. I'll pay my respects to Mr. Qingchen, I'll be a mother. If I can have this half of my glory, I will never live in vain in my life..."
As Xue Pan said, he entered a state of self-satisfaction, but Aunt Xue's face became darker and darker. In the end, Aunt Xue heard him shouting the courtesans "My mother", picked up the wild duck feather duster on the kang and knocked it on Xue Pan's head, trying to wake him up.
Xue Pan was hit by a few times, screaming in pain, and was so angry!
The pain fell secondly. The key was that he had just entered the scene in his mind. He stood in Jia Cong's position and waved to the courtesans who were calling "Young Master Xue" on the dock on the shore. He was woken up by Aunt Xue with a wild duck feather duster. He was holding his hair on his forehead, making him feel in pain.
After a lot of scolding again, Xue Pan said seriously: "Mom, I know what you and your aunt are thinking. Baoyu is also good. Compared with Brother Cong... There are very few people in this world who can compete with Brother Cong, even me is a little worse..."
Aunt Xue and Baochai were laughed angry at him by his shamelessness, and they were so laughed out loud. Even Aunt Xue thought this sentence was a big joke...
Xue Pan was not rude in front of his mother and sister. Even though he knew that he was being teased, he was not annoyed, and he was also happy with him.
After laughing for a while, Aunt Xue wiped her tears and said, "How come I think Brother Cong'er can't do it? I'm just afraid that he can do it too much! Look, what's going on now? Even such a noble prince is in trouble. The more he can do it, the more dangerous it will be. If their identity is affected, it will be the crime of raiding the family and extermination! No way, even his wife's clan will be implicated..."
As he said that, seeing Baochai's face dimmed and her lips were bitten without any blood. Aunt Xue stroked her hair with pity and said, "My son, I don't want you to be a royal decree, nor do I want you to be a lady. As long as you can live a peaceful and prosperous life, I will be content!"
Baochai remained silent, but Xue Pan sneered in his heart, thinking that his mother was really crazy.
Isn’t this explicitly saying that you don’t choose Jia Cong if you choose Baoyu?
What a brother-in-law who is Baoyu is like a brother-in-law who is Jia Cong? A joke!
Xue Pan ignored Aunt Xue and only used a pair of copper bells to wink at Baochai, signaling her: Don’t pay attention to that old and obscene mother, brother, stand by your side!
When Baochai saw it, she lowered her eyes and a smile flashed in her eyes.
In terms of etiquette, women in this world follow their husbands when they get married, and their husbands follow their sons when they die.
For the first time, she felt that it was a happy thing to have this brother who was willing to do it...
...
East Mansion.
The back house, the west wing.
Wang Xifeng looked at the luxurious and luxurious furnishings left by Ningguo Mansion, and couldn't help but feel sour.
What a large mahogany carved cloud-patterned marble flower frame bed, behind it is a coral door cabinet, and there is also a peach wood multi-guard cabinet, a three-cup cabinet cabinet with red lacquer carved gold flower pattern frame grid, and a red sandalwood dragon and phoenix pattern vertical cabinet...
All of them are very expensive, a little better than the ones in her house.
Look at the sea bluestone piano table, Guanghan wood seven-screen couch chair...
Feng Jie'er couldn't stand it anymore, and she was sour. She looked at Ping'er with anger and smiled slightly, saying, "You are so happy now! Others thought you were in trouble. Who would have thought that this family business would be allowed to be the one you have now!"
Youshi and Keqing were also in the house. Before Ping'er blushing and giving in modesty, Youshi smiled and said, "This is what makes you do good things and you get good results! You can't accept this place if you don't accept it!"
Feng Jie'er glanced at You Shi and sneered. She wanted to ridicule her and Jia Lian's activities, but now she doesn't have much fun. She didn't even want to eat jealousy about Jia Lian, so she said nothing, but sighed to Ping'er: "You are indeed a blessing, so you can live here. Keep this family business for your man. If I am driven out one day, I will have a place to stay." She is now increasingly feeling that who can say the truth in Hedong and Hexi in thirty years?
