104 104 Recognize your relatives
◎ Life! It is a practice.◎
Xue Pan’s life story is so bizarre that it not only shocked everyone in Rongguo Mansion, but also everyone in Ningguo Mansion.
After all, the information given by System 006 is very accurate. Xue Pan is indeed the illegitimate child of a useless playboy from a branch of Ningguo Duke.
His biological mother is a Qinhuai singing girl—a beautiful woman with a tragic fate, who died after giving birth to him.
Such secrets are not something that ordinary people can find out.
But System 006 is not a human, so of course it knows everything. Not to mention such small secrets, even those major secrets involving the royal family are not difficult at all.
So, it is not too exaggerated to call itself the "strongest system in history". If it had a host like Long Aotian, it might be able to dominate the world. Unfortunately, Mo Yu really didn't want to do that. He used a golden finger system that was like an "encyclopedia" to be a melon-eating system. This was really sad and made the system cry...
Well, it is a system and it doesn't have tears at all, but this kind of sadness and anger is still very obvious. At least Mo Yu was often annoyed by it, so he used it less and less, resulting in less and less melons being eaten, which made him and the onlookers less fun.
In the end, System 006 gave in.
As the saying goes, "Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog." Once a host is bound to something, it must work hard to cooperate with the host's personality to be the most considerate and good system. This is the self-cultivation of an excellent system.
System 006 said that it is not only an excellent system, it is also the best, and it does not accept any rebuttal.
Anyway, it is the strongest. Even if the host has no intention of competing for hegemony and just wants to eat melons, it can make the host the happiest and most satisfied melon eater in the world.
Isn't it just eating melons!
Come! The melons are coming! Big melons, small melons, fresh melons, rotten melons, all kinds of melons, Tongzi has plenty here! I guarantee that you will enjoy the food and feel satisfied...
After a short emo, System 006 regained its fighting spirit, quietly updated its cache, replaced a new big data algorithm, and began to recommend melons that are more suitable for Mo Yu.
Oh my!
You know what, this fictional Qing Dynasty, slightly fantasy world of the Red Mansion is really a sea of melons. Just pick it up and you will find a lot of melons...
Xue Pan is actually a fake young master, not the biological son of Aunt Xue and Uncle Xue.
So what is his real life experience?
Oh, if you dig it up like this, it will be even more exciting. It turns out that this guy's life experience is so bizarre and tortuous. He is the product of a one-night stand between a poor playboy from the Jia family and a Qinhuai singer.
Then he was sent to Yangshengtang as an abandoned baby, and then Uncle Xue picked him out from a pile of abandoned babies and secretly replaced Aunt Xue's biological baby boy who died...
After many twists and turns, he still wandered around in the four major families. What a rare monkey shit!
As for him running away from home because of his background being exposed, he had an argument with his adoptive mother Aunt Xue and ran away from home. As a result, he was kidnapped by kidnappers as soon as he left the house because he was stupid and rich (?). It was even more bizarre.
Being kidnapped is very miserable. Even if you are thick-skinned and not very smart like Xue Dashazi, being kidnapped by kidnappers is not a good thing.
Not only was he beaten and scolded along the way, he was also locked up in a small dark room and starved. What was worse was that he was sold to several people like an object. It can be said that he suffered a lot.
After a month or two of this, Xue Pan was sold to Nanfeng Pavilion, a thousand miles away from the capital, and finally settled down.
But it was just the beginning of another hellish life.
The young men in Nanfeng Pavilion were trained at a very young age. Although Xue Pan was only twelve years old, he had passed the best training age, so it was inevitable that he was disliked by the owner of the pavilion.
Fortunately, he looked quite strong - he was spoiled by Aunt Xue when he was young, and he was fed with the best food and utensils, which made him a tall, strong and fat man at a young age. Even though he suffered a lot along the way, he only looked a little thinner than ordinary people, but still much stronger than the young men in Nanfeng Pavilion.
After all, those young men had undergone special training, and they were all slender, fair, delicate, graceful, and beautiful like beautiful women... Anyway, only Xue Pan looked like he could do some odd jobs, and his appearance was not bad. If he met a customer who didn't care about food and drink, he might be able to take care of him. The owner of the pavilion reluctantly accepted him.
Although he had a place to stay, he was a "defective product" after all, and he was beaten and scolded every day, which was really miserable.
After a few months, Xue Pan's temper had been smoothed out, and he became fairer, tenderer and slimmer, which made the owner, who liked the south wind, look at him strangely.
It was like he had picked up a treasure.
If the person bought with the money for the servant could be trained to be a waiter to receive guests, wouldn't it be a huge profit?
This was really not a loss-making deal.
Fortunately, although the boy was not young enough, he was not too old either, so it was not too late to train him…
So Xue Pan started another hellish life.
Fortunately, before this terrible training course was over for a month, Aunt Xue followed the second elder of the Xue family to the capital and took refuge with her dear second sister, Mrs. Wang, the second wife of the Jiajia Rongguo Mansion. After a commotion, the matter was finally exposed.
Thanks to this, Xue Pan was finally spared the fate of being stabbed - I don't know if it was a coincidence or fate, he simply replicated the experiences of Feng Yuan who was beaten to death by him in the original novel, and those elementary school students who were taken advantage of by him in the Jia family's family school, such as Jin Rong, Xiang Lian Yu Ai, etc.
Really, I don't know how to evaluate it.
Even if System 006 is just a system without emotions, it thinks this matter is very sad.
After listening to it, Mo Yu naturally felt the same way.
It's just that others have different ideas after "hearing" the whole story through his inner voice.
Jia's mother is already old, and it is inevitable that she is soft-hearted and can't bear to hear such a "tragic" story.
Besides, in her opinion, children are just naughty, and it is normal for them to bully boys and girls. It is better to say that she thinks those people of low birth are not human beings at all.
Otherwise, why don't we see her sympathizing with the miserable experiences of girls like Xiangling, Jinchuan'er, and Qingwen?
Even after Yingchun got married, she was abused by Sun Shaozu, the "Wolf of Zhongshan", but she didn't show any special expression - even Mrs. Wang knew to shed a few tears, but she didn't show any expression.
Although it is possible that a few wives and grandmothers concealed the truth consciously, if she wanted to know about this kind of thing, it would be impossible for her to hide it.
So, she really turned a blind eye to the miserable life of her granddaughter.
I don't know if she really didn't care, or she didn't realize it at all - women, aren't they all like this?
Marry a chicken and follow the chicken; marry a dog and follow the dog. If you marry someone with a bad temper, you can only accept your fate.
So Yingchun lost her life just like that, which is also tragic.
Although Jia's mother was so cold to her own granddaughter, she was quite sympathetic to the male naughty children in other families who had no blood relationship with her - oh, okay, but had some blood relationship but not much. After hearing
about Xue Pan's miserable experience from Mo Yu's inner voice, Jia's mother's eyes turned red. Although she couldn't discuss this matter directly due to the restrictions set by the system, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart:
Emma! I didn't expect that the child of the Xue family had such a miserable experience. He was actually caught in such a place, God has pity on him. Fortunately, my eldest grandson was powerful and helped to find him back.
The girl from the second branch of the Xue family is a good one. Although she is a little younger, she is much more sensible than her elder sister. She has a good temper and doesn't pretend. I like her very much...
It's just a pity that the child seems to have already proposed marriage.
The most important thing is that I have always wanted to play a game of "blood reflux" - no matter what taboos there are, as long as the Jia family can make another wave, it will be fine.
In the heart of the old lady, the future of the Jia family is more important than anything else.
What blood relationship is bullshit.
People will die anyway, so making a contribution to the family before dying is a worthy death...
The old lady was crying and worried for other people's sons, while she continued to plot against her own daughter, granddaughter and granddaughter without any pressure. She was really a typical old lady in a feudal family.
Mrs. Wang was in a different situation.
After all, Xue Pan had been her cheap nephew for twelve years. Even if she had no feelings for this fake nephew whom she had never met, she did have feelings for Aunt Xue.
This was her biological sister, who grew up under her watch.
When she got married and moved to the capital, this little sister cried and gave her a sedan chair.
After that, the two sisters also insisted on the habit of writing letters several times a year to share the details of their married life.
What do you mean you gave birth to a legitimate eldest son?
You gave birth to a legitimate eldest daughter, it’s great to have both a son and a daughter.
Today I killed one of my master’s favorite concubines, and tomorrow you drove away one of your master’s lovers...
Even though one of the sisters is in the capital and the other is far away in Jinling, they still keep in touch and have never lost contact.
In this way, it is reasonable for Aunt Xue to come to the capital to seek refuge with Lady Wang instead of Wang Ziteng and the others.
After all, she has always been in close contact with her second sister instead of her second brother.
As for the eldest brother... their family is already in Jinling, so what is there for him to seek refuge with.
And her eldest brother... although he is a legitimate eldest son, he is doing so badly, far worse than her second brother Wang Ziteng, so it’s better not to mention him.
After marrying the eldest master Xue from the imperial merchant family for more than ten or twenty years, Aunt Xue has been completely marinated. She is full of calculations. Profit weighing has become a human instinct. Family ties and blood ties are all clouds.
In this regard, she is in agreement with Old Lady Jia. They all ignore family ties for the sake of profit. As for whether it is for money or for the future of the family, what difference does it make.
Compared with Aunt Xue and Old Lady Jia, Mrs. Wang is much more practical. She doesn't care about anyone but herself.
As long as her personal interests are not touched, she will be very peaceful, and she can even put on a pitiful "Bodhisattva" attitude, and shed tears for the miserable experiences of others.
She successfully established a "compassionate" persona for herself.
That's right, once someone infringes on her interests, she will immediately turn hostile and reveal her true face under the false "Bodhisattva" mask.
The plot of "Jin Chuan'er's Death" is like this. She is even more disgusting than those who directly expose their true nature.
As for Mrs. Xing, she still sat aside awkwardly. She said she was accompanying him politely, but she was really like a clay puppet, an awkward person...
The rest of Li Wan, Feng Jie'er, Youshi, and Qin Keqing were all young people. They had no room to talk at all, and it was even difficult for them to make any expressions. They could only accompany him quietly and be treated as a few beautiful vases.
If this is the case for the noble ladies of such aristocratic families, it goes without saying that the rest of the women of lower status are even worse.
Jia Min is different from them, but she is also simply lucky. She married into the Lin family and had a husband like Lin Ruhai, a daughter like Xiao Daiyu, and most importantly, a son like Mo Yu.
The story of Xue Pan's life made all the women in the Jia family feel complicated.
But the men had a different attitude.
Jia She and Jia Zheng were both indifferent to men, so after hearing this, they felt a little disgusted, but at least they sympathized with Xue Pan, a young man.
Jia Zhen and Jia Lian were both playboys. They had no sympathy for Xue Pan's experience. The look in their eyes seemed to be evaluating Xue Pan's qualifications as a young prostitute... Really, beasts!
As for Jia Rong, she looked nonchalant. I don't know if this kid has been stimulated by something. Recently, she looks more and more wrong. Anyway, she doesn't look like a newlywed young man at all.
Finally, Jia Jingshanshan, the honorary boss of Ningguo Mansion, came late. Although he was no longer practicing in Xuanzhen Temple, he did not manage the mundane affairs of the Taiguan Mansion after returning to Ningguo Mansion.
All daily affairs were still under the management of Jia Zhen. After all, these things were just "mundane affairs" in the eyes of Master Jing, and they were not worthy of his attention, let alone his efforts.
Anyway, his son was in charge, so he was allowed to continue to take charge.
Therefore, the expectation of Jia Jing's return and taking charge of Ningguo Mansion again, and the world being a new place, did not happen.
Not only that, because the old man wanted to continue his cultivation in Ningguo Mansion, he brought in a group of old Taoist priests to talk about scriptures, refine elixirs and burn cauldrons, making Ningguo Mansion full of smoke and miasma every day, which was really unbearable.
However, Jia Jing was the most senior direct descendant of Ningguo Mansion and the biological father of the current clan leader Jia Zhen. With this status, he could basically walk around Ningguo Mansion.
So no one dared to control him or say anything, and could only let him go.
At least the old man did it in the mansion, not like before, when he had to go to Xuanzhen Temple outside the city to do it, so that everyone could see the joke of Ningguo Mansion, and Jia Zhen couldn't raise his head at all - let alone other things, the hat of "unfilial" was put on Jia Zhen, and he couldn't get away with it.
This is a big hat that even the emperor couldn't stand, let alone Jia Zhen.
Okay.
Just come back, and don't expect anything else.
Jia Zhen accepted this well, and after Jia Jing practiced quietly for a period of time, he started to make trouble again.
Today, he heard that there were guests at home, so he walked out of the meditation place reserved for him in the corner of the back garden of Ningguo Mansion, strolled all the way to Rongguo Mansion, and found the scene of the story accurately...
Heard that a relative from the second room of the West Mansion next door came and made a lot of noise, and it was also related to the mystery of a child's life experience. Who wouldn't be curious?
Maybe it was because he had been caught in the rain and couldn't bear to see others have an umbrella. The mystery of Xichun's life experience has not been solved yet. Whose man is so unlucky and likes to be a father?
Isn't it necessary to go to the scene to take a look?
The most important thing is that in addition to these empathetic gossip needs, Jia Jing, who has always slept little, suddenly had a dream last night.
In his dream, a voice told him that he must come to the main room of the West Mansion today, saying that there was a destiny waiting for him, so he must come.
As a result, after he came, he saw the twelve-year-old Xue Pan standing alone in the middle of a group of people, trembling, weak, pitiful and helpless. The old man's sympathy suddenly overflowed.
Emma, this poor little boy is so pitiful.
Is this the guidance given to me by God?
The disciple understood...
So, when a group of people were arguing about whose family Xue Pan should belong to, the old man Jia Jing coughed and made the final decision:
"Since he is the blood of our family, he must recognize his ancestors... Child, don't be afraid, your uncle will make the decision for you. You will practice with your uncle in the future, okay?"
Xue Pan was stunned when he heard it.
What? Cultivation?
No way?
It can't be what he imagined?
...
I don't know what bad things Xue Pan thought of, anyway, he looked even weaker and more helpless than before, even about to cry.
But Jia Jing obviously thought that the child was moved by his "sincere invitation".
Look at the child who was moved and almost cried.
Thinking of this, Jia Jing's sympathy for Xue Pan became stronger, and he even walked up to touch Xue Pan's head gently.
This simply stimulated Xue Pan even more, and he actually rolled his eyes and fainted.
Everyone was shocked, but Jia Jing supported Xue Pan's limp body steadily, and then wiped his sweat with a loving face:
"Poor boy, follow your uncle to practice well in the future, and you will definitely be relieved of your suffering."
Jia Jing has the highest status in Ningguo Mansion, and once he speaks, everyone can only listen to him.
Although Mrs. Jia is one generation older than Jia Jing, she is from the West Mansion next door after all, and cannot interfere with the affairs of the East Mansion - although Xue Pan's life experience is terrible, he is the blood of the East Mansion branch after all. If Jia Jing wants to raise him, others can't say anything.
Besides, Jia Jing is the father of Jia Zhen, the current head of the Jia family. He is the legitimate eldest son of the family. No matter how powerful the Rongguo Mansion is, he is still the second son of the family. Even
if we take a step back, since he is the eldest son of the family, he also has the right to decide the general family affairs of the Jia Mansion, including those of the Rongguo Mansion. If
you are talking about the big things that involve the division of the family, then of course the ancestral hall must be opened for everyone to discuss, and even the patriarch cannot have the final say.
But now it is about whether the illegitimate son of a family's side branch should recognize his ancestors.
There is no need to make such a big fuss about it. Once the family decides, it's done.
As a result, even Aunt Xue did not dare to cry. She was just making a scene here relying on her sisterly relationship with Madam Wang, hoping to get some benefits.
After all, Mrs. Jia seemed to be very good-tempered, and Madam Xing was a person who did not care about things. The current housekeeper, Sister Feng, was also a girl from their Wang family, the daughter of their eldest brother, and she had to call them both aunt.
With this calculation, the entire Rongguo Mansion was not the world of her second sister
, Madam Wang. As for the men, what could the men do about the affairs of the harem?
There was no opponent at all.
Therefore, Aunt Xue was able to act boldly and at ease, trying to sacrifice her old face and let the plot return to the original story - the mother and son of the Xue family stayed together in the Rongguo Mansion for a long time.
As for the second old man Xue, it was just a part of her "pawnshop" plan.
As for why she did this, it was of course because she was poor.
The Xue family looked prominent, but in fact, it was rotten inside.
When Aunt Xue's husband, the eldest master of the Xue family, was still alive, the Xue family's business could only barely support itself.
Uncle Xue himself was in poor health, and he was worried about not having a son. What was even more terrifying was that the family business was getting worse and worse. Under all kinds of pressure and blows, he fell ill and eventually died without any medical help.
Before he passed away, Uncle Xue left behind endless regret and attachment to his wife and daughter. As for his son, he was fake and useless, so he didn't need him.
It was a pity that his wife and daughter would suffer in the future.
When Uncle Xue was dying, he held Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai's hands tightly and refused to close his eyes for a long time. Even though Xue Pan cried hoarsely beside him, he didn't even look at him.
Now that I think about it, it was already clear that he knew everything.
Because he was the one who handled this matter.
After all the hard work, it was all in vain.
The more he didn't want to give up the position of clan leader to his younger brother, the more he let him get it for nothing.
The more he wanted a son to leave behind and take care of his beloved wife and young daughter, the more he made them lose face.
Anyway, it was a tragedy to ask for something but not get it.
But no one expected that Xue Pan would get such a good fortune and enter the Ningguo Mansion to "cultivate" with Jia Jing.
No one knew what Xue Pan would be like when he grew up, such a fool hanging out with Jia Jing, the old charlatan.
It was quite exciting to think about it.
Everyone "listened" to Mo Yu's voice, and their mood was ups and downs, and then mixed feelings, not knowing what to do.
After hearing more, some people began to reflect on whether their actions were inappropriate, and some began to reflect on whether they were really that bad.
More people were like Mo Yu, ready to eat melons and watch the joke happily.
Mo Yu inadvertently spread the news that Aunt Xue wanted to "bump into someone's car", and no matter how thick-skinned she was, she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Looking at Xue Baochai, her face turned red because she felt too embarrassed, and she was about to cry.
The handsome face of the second elder of the Xue family also turned the color of liver. After holding it in for a long time, he finally made up his mind, stood up and bowed to everyone, saying:
"Today's matter is originally the family affair of the Xue family. It was us who were rude. I'm sorry to make you laugh."
He said it very sincerely. His eyes were red as soon as he opened his mouth, and it was obvious that he was very emotional.
In fact, as long as this kind of thing is not revealed in person, everyone pretends not to know, and at least it can be passed on.
Once it is revealed, it will be a capital "embarrassment".
It makes everyone feel at a loss as to what to do and want to dig their toes into the ground.
Jia She, Jia Zheng and others were the first to be hit. On the one hand, they cursed the old man in their hearts for being so careless and asking how he could speak directly. On the other hand, they still responded with a stiff upper lip and forced a laugh. Even Lin Ruhai had to say a few polite words.
Just when a group of people were trying to persuade the second elder of the Xue family to be more open-minded, they saw the second elder of the Xue family waved his hand and said:
"I know that our family is embarrassed today. Please forgive us, relatives. We will leave now and find a place to live. When we are settled, please come and visit us next time."
