Will my aunt no longer be involved in the Xue family's affairs?
But can you just ignore it and pretend you don't know that she wants to chase people away?
Wang Xifeng frowned slightly, and when she was about to say something, Jia Zhu spoke in a gentle voice, "Sister Xue is getting older, and it's time for her to get married. Didn't Liu Tang take his family to take up his new post after he passed the examination? His family is looking to sell their old house, which is close to Ningrong Street. Brother Xue plans to buy it, pack it up and move over, so it will be convenient for them to go to school here in the future."
ah? Want to leave?
Wang Xifeng's eyes quickly showed a smile, "That's great, others don't know what his old house looks like, but we do."
The Chen family still wanted to restore their relationship with Liu Tang, and even more so wanted to occupy the house again when Liu Tang was not at home.
As a result, a nice house is just sitting there, unable to be rented or sold.
Every time the property was to be rented or sold, the second son of the Chen family would go over and make a fuss.
Outsiders don’t know the details and can only give up.
Among the old residents of Baisui Street, few are particularly wealthy and willing to buy that house.
When Liu Tang and Jia Yan were leaving, they came over specially and first asked Youshi and then her to ask the two families to look after the child.
It would be best if they could sell it. Even if they return to Beijing in the future, they will choose a place far away from the Chen family.
Now that the Xue family wants to buy it, that’s perfect.
"Don't worry, I'll ask Wang'er to go there a few more times and let the eldest sister-in-law of the East Mansion know. She will most likely let Xing'er go there as well. With them around, the Chen family won't dare to make trouble."
After Wang Xifeng guaranteed the sale to Xue Pan, she asked, "But, does my aunt know about the house purchase?"
“…I know.”
Actually, I don’t know.
But when his cousin Zhu mentioned the house over there to him, Xue Pan thought it was a good idea.
The Xue family's house is in the south of the city, too far from here.
It is inconvenient for him and his sister to go to school.
Living in Baisui Street next door doesn’t affect anything, it’s still my own home.
Although we are relatives, we would never live in someone else's house all the time.
"Then I'll let Wang'er go with you to look at the house and see if there's anything that needs to be changed."
Wang Xifeng was particularly enthusiastic.
She guessed something from Xue Pan's slightly hesitant answer and thought it would be better to decide quickly.
"Then I'll trouble you, elder sister."
This time Xue Pan did not hesitate.
Now that he has his own home, he can invite his classmates to his home during holidays.
The first person Xue Pan wanted to invite was Min Jianbai.
Everyone in the school praises Min Jianbai.
He also admired it very much.
He wanted to ask him some advice.
So Aunt Xue waited for her son at home, but he didn't come home. She was worried that Jia Zhu and Wang Xifeng were making things difficult for her son without considering their relationship's reputation. Then someone came to see the house, was very satisfied, called the real estate agent, and went to the yamen together to buy the house.
But Aunt Xue doesn’t know!
She felt so sorry for her son that she wanted to find her daughter several times to discuss with her if something had happened. However, when she thought of her daughter's current condition, she stopped several times.
How could Baochai not know that her mother was wandering outside her room?
But if she goes out now, the determination she made today under threat of death might be shaken by her mother's coaxing.
Baochai didn't move.
Although my brother has been away for a long time, my cousin Zhu is a good person.
It was agreed that he would go to see his eldest cousin Zhu first, and then go to his eldest cousin Feng.
He hasn't come back for such a long time, I'm afraid he was delayed at my cousin Feng's place.
She wanted to drive their whole family out of the house.
Baochai was also very conflicted.
My aunt is no longer around, so the second room is just a place I stay in temporarily.
Although Cousin Feng is a biological cousin, the Xue family does not have a good relationship with her.
When we first moved here, we agreed that we would leave once the house over there was repaired.
But... I've lived here for more than half a year, and it's time to leave.
But if they really leave, will the shop owner and the shop assistants think that their relationship with the Jia family is average and lose their respect again? And if they really move away, it will be inconvenient for her and her brother to go to school, not to mention it.
what to do? Baochai felt as if she were being fried in oil.
She was also worried about her brother, fearing that he would get angry and quarrel with Brother Zhu or Cousin Feng.
If that really happens, their family will be finished.
But it's been so long, there's no point for her to go out.
Everything that happened today was caused by her and the gold lock.
Baochai closed her eyes and could only endure it, passively waiting for her fate to come.
Finally, her mother shouted "Son" in surprise.
Baochai stood up suddenly.
She wanted to stride out to greet her brother, but her legs were numb.
She held back, and when she wanted to move again, Xue Pan had already led Aunt Xue over.
There was a knock on the door.
Ying'er was driven out by Baochai.
She could only say, "Brother, the door is not locked."
Xue Pan pushed the door open happily and said, "Mom, sister, I have something very happy to tell you."
"Whatever it is, you should have sent someone back to tell us."
Aunt Xue didn't believe that her son could have any big happy event.
Her heart was beating fast at this moment.
Suspecting that her son was deceived by Jia Zhu or Wang Xifeng, Aunt Xue was afraid that her son would be deceived and forced to leave the house.
"I came back and said it's the same!"
Xue Pan smiled and took out the house deed from his arms, "I bought the house of Liu Tang's family on Baisui Street."
What? Aunt Xue and Baochai's expressions changed at the same time.
Aunt Xue covered her chest with the handkerchief and looked like she was about to faint.
"It's close to Ningrong Street, so it will be convenient for my sister and I to study in the future."
this? Baochai looked at her brother, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up, "Very good."
Living in Baisui Street is better than living in the south city.
Her brother seems to have grown up and become more sensible.
Baochai couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.
Xue Pan knew that he had acted on his own initiative, and did not dare to look at his mother, but he saw his sister's expression clearly, and seeing that she was about to cry, he hurriedly said, "We agreed at the beginning that we would move in, build a house, and then leave.
Even though we are relatives, there is no reason for us to always live in someone else's house.
Don’t worry, sister. When we move there, your brother will find a good family for you. ”
His family is rich, and his sister is good in every way and worthy of the man.
"Hmm~"
When Baochai nodded, she bowed solemnly and said, "Thank you, brother."
"Thank you for what? I'm your brother." Xue Pan rarely heard his sister thank him. Seeing his sister thank him so seriously, his back straightened up and his voice became brighter. "Isn't it my duty?"
"you……"
Aunt Xue felt so sad when she saw that her two children had been decided upon in just a few words.
She wanted to make a scene, faint, and cry for her deceased master...
But the sound was about to reach her throat, and seeing her two children like this, she could only try hard to swallow it back.
Things have already happened, and it's no use for her to cry or make a fuss.
Aunt Xue resigned herself to her fate and shed tears.
She was sad here, but Jia Min, who knew everything, happily asked Xing for the imperial wine that Jia She had collected so that she could have a drink with her sister-in-law and her mother.
Finally, Jia Zhu handled this matter well.
Don't let her down again.
Xing rarely enjoyed her sister-in-law acting coquettishly with her, so how could she care about Jia She? All his good wines were moved on the spot.
Even the good imperial wine that Jia Lian presented as a gift was brought over, with the words "since Jia Min liked it, it would all be given to her."
His majestic look stunned Lady Jia.
Isn’t her eldest daughter-in-law usually extremely stingy? Could it be because this wine belongs to She'er and not hers?
It's just a benefit for my daughter, so forget it.
Jia Min thought that such a sister-in-law was extremely lovely. That night, she pulled Wang Xifeng aside and had a few drinks with her.
A few days later, Shen Ning finally learned that Aunt Xue was moving away.
The Xue family, who had lived in the Red Mansion until their property was ransacked, are now leaving?
Why do I feel so unbelievable? Shen Ning was happy and confused, so she asked Qing Ping to come over and inquire about it.
When she found out that it was Wang Xifeng who asked Wang'er to take Xue Pan to buy a house on the spot, she simply waved her hand and asked Qingzhu to send the set of gold filigree jewelry made in the palace that the Queen had awarded to them.
Although Wang Xifeng was happy to receive the reward, she couldn't help but say to Ping'er after sending Qingzhu away, "Ping'er, this isn't a festive occasion, and my birthday has already passed. Why did the East Palace aunt give me such a nice set of jewelry?"
This stuff isn't cheap.
And from what Qingzhu said, he was only sending her there.
“Puff~”
Ping'er couldn't help laughing, "Second Madam, didn't you notice that you and your wife were able to sit down and eat at the old lady's house recently?"
Does she need to say this? My mother-in-law gave all of my father-in-law's good wine to my fourth aunt.
When Fourth Aunt was happy, she started to speak up for the old lady.
She thinks it's more lively when there are more people around, so she can eat half a bowl more when eating together.
The old lady felt sorry for her daughter, so since that day when they drank together, she and her mother-in-law would help put away the dishes and chopsticks so that she could eat with her.
But what does this have to do with the jewelry given to her by the aunt from the East Mansion? "Tell me, what great things have I, your second grandmother, done recently?"
Wang Xifeng saw Ping'er's expression and said directly, "Stop laughing and tell me quickly so that I can follow your example and do more things to get more rewards."
“Hahaha, this isn’t easy.”
There is only one Xue family in this mansion.
Ping'er laughed so hard that she fell backwards.
"How dare you keep me in suspense?"
Wang Xifeng pushed her onto the couch and tickled her.
"Haha, I don't dare anymore. Hahaha, Second Grandma, please forgive me. Hahaha~~~~hahaha~~~~I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
The master and servant argued for a long time before Ping'er told them about the Xue family.
"The Fourth Aunt and the First Lady of the East Mansion should both think that you handled the Xue family's affairs very well."
Ping Er said proudly: "When Qing Zhu came to inquire, he found several people, and I was among them."
"So that's how it is?"
Wang Xifeng exhaled lightly and couldn't help laughing, "Since you are so capable, I will give you this bracelet as a reward!"
She took off the shrimp-whisker bracelet on her wrist on the spot.
…
Ningguo Mansion, Baochai is still studying here, but now she is even busier, and besides, she is far away from home, so she no longer has time to accompany Chen Ning for a walk.
Shen Ning happily resumed her previous habits.
Is Sister Bao's love for Baoyu in the Dream of the Red Chamber in love?
Bullshit!
It would be strange that she could like a man who doesn't like reading and has no ambition.
She had plans for Lin Daiyu, but there might be some sincerity in her heart.
Otherwise, with Daiyu's intelligence, how could she get along so well with her?
The final outcome...is not up to them.
In modern times, who does Sister Bao need to rely on?
She is beautiful on her own.
"I heard that Xue Pan wants to arrange a marriage for his sister?"
After dinner in the evening, when Rong Ge'er was walking with her, Shen Ning couldn't help but ask him.
"Hmm~"
Rong Ge'er smiled and nodded, "He has been getting close to Uncle Min recently and has been going around the school, trying to find a good brother-in-law."
That guy's look was too obvious.
Some people were frightened, and some rushed to get closer to him.
"When he saw his grandson, he hesitated several times to speak. Uncle Lin said that he felt that the teachers we hired were too old."
"Yeah?"
Shen Ning couldn't help but laugh, "Miss Xue is actually not bad."
“…”
Rong Ge'er glanced at his grandmother.
He felt that his grandmother did not like Miss Xue.
It's just that she doesn't like it, but she doesn't want to hurt other people's faces.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been hiding in the yard practicing boxing some time ago.
"By the way, what do you think of Xue Pan?"
Chen Ning didn't know that Qin Keqing had already secretly told Rong Ge'er about her hiding from Baochai.
"He's a little silly, and he's pretty bad at studying, but he's an okay person."
Rong Ge'er had no ill feelings towards Xue Pan.
There were just some things he couldn't tell his grandmother.
That person likes to pave the way for friends by giving them money first.
It’s okay if you meet good people, but if you meet bad people, just wait to be cheated!
There were several people in the school who wanted to cheat him.
However, the school was very strict, and after finally getting a day off, he was taken by his cousin Min to inspect the shop.
Uncle Min probably felt that they shared a common suffering.
So take care.
In addition, Uncle Bao and Uncle Lin often invite him to play together, so no one dares to cheat him.
"Then do you think he can find the right person in the academy?"
Shen Ning asked him again.
"Disaster!"
Rong Ge'er looked at his grandmother with a smile, "Hasn't our family rules changed? Except for the one in Mengban who is still young, even if the others haven't been engaged openly, they've basically agreed on it secretly."
The Xue family is also a merchant family.
Xue Pan’s requirements are quite high, so it’s not easy to find someone like him in school.
“I see…”
Chen Ning seemed to be thinking, "I remember that among the candidates your second aunt had chosen, there was one named Qian Xiucai, right?"
Um? Does grandma really want to find a husband for Miss Xue?
Rong Ge'er was a little puzzled by his grandmother's behavior.
"Qian Xiucai has been copying books in his mother's bookstore to earn money for his studies."
Rong Ge'er said: "Although we are poor, our conditions in all aspects are indeed good."
This person was chosen by stepmother Youshi herself.
Rong Ge'er felt that if his stepmother was not so distant from You Erjie, she would have arranged this marriage for her personally.
But Zheng Xiaoqi is a pretty good official now.
"Grandmother, do you want to propose this marriage for the Xue family?"
"What did I say kiss?"
Shen Ning didn't mean that, "However, you can reveal this candidate to Xue Pan and see what they choose!"
Yu Shi listed Qian Xiucai as the candidate for Yu Erjie's husband because she had high hopes for him.
The Xue family is a merchant family, so it is difficult to arrange a marriage, but Baochai’s own conditions are quite good.
If Aunt Xue was not picky, she might be able to help Baochai get a royal title in the future. (End of this chapter)
