The Red Mansions

Chapter 81 The Inside Story
Xue Pan and Jia Yun were drinking happily, and the attacker came to report that Zhou Kun had come to visit at home.

So Jia Yun hurriedly said goodbye to Xue Pan, left Lixiangyuan with Xiren, and walked home.

When passing by the gate of Rongguo Mansion, Meiren was waiting there, Jia Yun smiled and said, "You haven't eaten lunch yet, have you? You don't need to go back with me."

Charming stepped forward and replied: "I'm half full after eating, brother Yun's business is important, if we don't go back, there will be no one to serve tea, what will happen?"

"Isn't there still Aunt Miao?" Jia Yun said with a smile.

Xi Ren said: "After all, Aunt Miao seldom waits on people. It's okay to do some rough work, but it's a bit out of place to serve tea and water."

Jia Yun nodded and said, "Forget it, you've all come out, there's no need to go back to eat, so come home with me first!"

The three walked home.

An attacker on the road asked: "Brother Yun, what's going on at Xue's house? What happened today has been spread in Jia's house. It is estimated that everyone in Ningrong Street will know about it this afternoon."

Jia Yun pondered and said, "I still don't know the attitude of the Xue family. The Xue family mainly looks at Xue Wang and Xue Baochai. Xue Pan has said a lot, but most of what he said is useless."

"Uncle Xue? What's his attitude?" Xiren asked curiously.

Jia Yun smiled and said: "He wants me to marry his sister. This guy's thinking is simple. Anyway, Xue Baochai's reputation is ruined, so he just let me marry him, and told me it was destined by God. Fate, huh..."

Meiren covered her mouth with a smile, and said: "Miss Bao is a good girl. With Brother Yun's current status, it's okay to marry back home, but if Brother Yun is admitted to fame in a few years, she wants to marry her." For Brother Yun, I'm afraid I can only be a concubine."

Xiren nodded in agreement and said, "The biggest obstacle Yun Geer is facing now is his identity. If Yun Geer is even a scholar now, with the Jia family's reputation, it would be a high prospect for Miss Bao to marry Yun Geer."

Jia Yun glanced at Xiren, shook her head and said, "Where are there so many assumptions? I'm just a commoner now. The Xue family has millions of dollars in wealth. Isn't it right to look down on us?"

He can see it openly, although he wants to marry Xue Baochai, but if the Xue family doesn't think so, he is not in a hurry.

With Xue Baochai's reputation now, it is very difficult to find Mr. Ruyi.

After he became famous or became an official in the future, as long as Xue Baochai was not married, he had his own means to make Xue Baochai marry him willingly.

However, at that time, Xue Baochai could only be a concubine.

But to be honest, Jia Yun still hopes that Xue Baochai will marry her as his wife while she is still a commoner during her vacant period.

If they don't succeed, they will become their own concubines in the future, and their status will plummet. If they are not on the same level, it will be almost meaningless to blend with each other.

As for whether she can pass the examination of scholar, Jia Yun is full of confidence, after all, the examination of scholar is only the basics.

Unlike Juren and Jinshi, who need to be very proficient in stereotyped essays, the competitors in the same hall are all contemporary elites from all corners of the country.

Jia Yun has self-knowledge, recites and comprehends all by memory, and he is not afraid of anyone.

But compared to writing stereotyped essays, after all, I came from a later generation, and my background is shallow, so it is difficult to compete with the natives.

Rikain.

Wang Xue glared at Xue Pan, gritted his teeth, and said, "You bastard, why don't you keep Jia Yun, and it won't be too late for him to leave after we have a discussion on the matter!"

Xue Pan stared wide-eyed, shrunk his neck, and muttered: "I'm busy with work, how can I force you to stay? You've been back for so long, and you haven't seen anything to say. What's the use of blaming me now?"

"You! You! You!" Mrs. Xue Wang pointed at Xue Pan, and after a long time, she became angry and cursed:

"Why did I give birth to such a worthless bastard like you? Something happened to your sister, and you were not in a hurry to find a way to help, but you only cared about a few mouthfuls of yellow urine. I think you might as well drink to death!"

Seeing her mother and elder brother meeting, Xue Baochai was not in a hurry to discuss things, but only cared about arguing, her heart was impatient and sad, and she cried, "Mother, brother, can you stop arguing?"

But Xue Wang's family is on fire right now, Xue Pan is also stubborn, the two of them can't care about Xue Baochai, they ignore it, they are still arguing non-stop, and Xue Baochai is so anxious that she lies on the table and whimpers. cry.

Xue Wangshi and Xue Pan finally calmed down when they heard the crying.

Xue Wangshi opened her mouth, stepped forward and patted Xue Baochai on the shoulder, comfortingly said: "I'm Didi, don't cry, let's stop arguing, mother will discuss it with your brother."

Xue Pan twisted his neck, squinting and said: "What are you talking about, my sister has gone into Brother Yun's arms, and there are so many people watching with their own eyes, besides marrying Brother Yun, is there any good way?"

Xue Wang hesitated and said: "But now that your sister's reputation is bad, will Brother Yun marry your sister?"

Xue Pan waved his hand and said, "I asked Brother Yun about this matter, and he fully agreed, saying that if my sister is willing to marry him, he is very willing to marry my sister."

Xue Baochai, who was sobbing, stopped crying immediately, blushing hot, raised her head, wiped away her tears, and said shyly, "Brother, how can you ask him directly? What kind of words is that?"

"Tch, why is it outrageous?" Xue Pan pursed his lips, stepped forward and sat opposite Xue Baochai, and said solemnly:

"Sister, you have seen Brother Yun's good looks, he is a very handsome man, compared with Baoyu, I don't know how he is better."

"Not to mention his speech and behavior, and his character and reputation, are more suitable for you than Baoyu."

"As for the family background, heh, our Xue family's wealth of millions is not bad. The only thing is that Brother Yun's current status is just a commoner, but he plans to take the imperial examination next year, and his future is bright."

"As for whether he can pass the examination of fame, it's hard to say, but if he really wants to pass the examination of scholar, judging from what happened today, it may not be easy for my younger sister to marry him again."

"So, let me be frank. While Brother Yun is not yet famous, my sister can make an appointment with him first, and we will talk about the future."

Xue Baochai was silent, thinking about the pros and cons silently.

But Wang Xue couldn't hold her breath, she said anxiously: "But if this happens, what will our Xue family do in the future?"

"My di'er, you also know what kind of person you are. You can't afford a family. If your sister can't count on it, the Xue family is in danger now. You have to find a way!"

Xue Pan smacked his lips, frowned and said, "Brother Yun mentioned this matter before he left, saying that someone in his classmate's family is an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs. For business, the license is easy to get."

Xue Wang breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "This is also a way. Hey, I can only blame your uncle for being cruel. Otherwise, with his power, writing a note casually would not make the Xue family crumbling!"

Xue Baochai came back to his senses, and said, "Mother, didn't we agree when we were in Jinling, and when we arrive in Beijing, let's not talk about uncle's merits."

"In fact, to be honest, uncle also has his own difficulties. It is true that he has a high position and authority, but he also has his own personal affairs, which cost a lot of money."

"Let's just ask him to help us with empty teeth. Even if we are relatives, once or twice is nothing, but if there are too many times, he will be very difficult to behave."

Hearing this, Xue Pan snorted and said, "Hmph, I didn't ask him to help for nothing, but he wrote to say that he wanted [-]% of our Xue family's wealth, so his heart is too poisonous..."
