Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 246 Annoying Relatives [Part [-]]

Coincidentally, these two relatives are new to Rongfu.

They are all from the big house.

In other words, it's all related to Jia Lian.

Hearing his complaint, Feng Yibo followed the words and asked:
"What happened to the Xing family? Could it be that they also asked you for money?"

Jia Lian sighed, but didn't rush to answer.

Instead, he poured the wine silently.

Then it was full of Feng Yibo.

The two brothers Xue Pan and Xue Biao also toasted.

After the four of them had a drink, Jia Lian seemed to be still hesitating.

Before he could speak, Xue Pan couldn't help but speak first:

"My mother said that the eldest girl of the Xing family..."

As soon as he said this, Xue Biao suddenly interrupted, saying:

"Brother, let Second Brother Lian talk."

"Oh."

Xue Pan was not angry when his brother interrupted him.

He just gave Xue Biao a weird look.

"Oh! It's all right."

Jia Lian only thought that Xue Biao was helping him cover up, so he waved his hand immediately.

He sighed again, before saying:
"Hey! I didn't expect that the news spread in the backyard, and my aunt knew about it, but it's nothing shameful, just don't spread the word."

Jia Lian gave a warning first.

After seeing everyone nodding, they began to talk about the reason for this.

"This family really wanted money, but they couldn't find it for me. They came to vote for the eldest wife, and what they wanted was the Xing family's furniture. It's none of my business."

Xue Pan was taken aback for a moment, and said in surprise:
"They also come to ask for a dowry?"

Xue Biao remained calm, but also pricked up his ears.

Obviously, he is very concerned about this matter.

Unexpectedly, Jia Lian shook his head when he heard the words, and said:

"It's not the dowry, it's the property of the Xing family. Before the eldest wife got married, all the elders of the Xing family passed away. The uncle of the Xing family was a concubine, so he shared some house money and went out to become an independent family, and passed away."

Feng Yibo was a little puzzled, and said:
"Since the family is separated, why are you asking for money now?"

In fact, there is a hidden sentence in this sentence.

That is, even if you ask for money, it will not go to Mrs. Xing.

"The other uncles in the Xing family were still young at the time, and the eldest wife, as the eldest sister, took care of the family. Those properties are still managed by his companion Wang Shanbao's family."

This is actually not a secret.

Not to mention Jia Lian, even the servants of the Jia family know a lot.

Because of Mrs. Xing's younger brother Xing Dequan, there will be troubles from time to time.

He wanted to get back all the property from Mrs. Xing, instead of just giving some scattered expenses.

But it was this Xing Dequan who made Mrs. Xing the most difficult.

He doesn't do his job properly, and only enjoys eating, drinking, gambling, and sleeping in flowers and willows every day.

The hands are indiscriminately using money, and there is no restraint at all.

Mrs. Xing wanted to take care of it, but she couldn't.

Therefore, only economic sanctions can be imposed on him.

She didn't want the Xing family's property to be squandered like this, so she only gave some scattered money to spend.

But Mrs. Xing's kindness, but Xing Dequan couldn't understand it.

He often fooled around with the unscrupulous children of Jia's mansion, and yelled nonsense when he was drunk.

He complained everywhere that Mrs. Xing was mean and harsh to him.

Everyone in Jia's mansion saw more excitement, so naturally everyone knew about it.

Xue Pan was also a little stunned at this moment, as he had heard about it at first glance.

Apparently, he had hung out with Xing Dequan before.

"The uncle and aunt who are here now are also people who drink terribly. After they were separated, they never had a serious livelihood, and they only lived on that little income."

Xing Zhong is stronger than Xing Dequan, but he is also limited.

Xue Pan frowned upon hearing this.

Then it stretched out quickly, revealing an expression that was nothing more than that.

It seems that this is nothing.

Xue Biao was concentrating, but there was no special reaction.

On the contrary, Feng Yibo sipped his wine glass and listened leisurely.

It looked like he was drinking with it.

"If you were more frugal, it would be enough, but the couple are idle all day long. After only one or two years, they even sold the house and the land. They finally have money to use."

Selling houses and land will naturally make money.

But in this era, selling the ancestral property is the performance of prodigal.

Obviously, in order to maintain his life, Xing Zhong didn't care too much.

"I heard that after they sold the house, they learned how to be frugal. They rented a cheap house in Panxiang Temple on the outskirts of Suzhou and lived there for ten years."

Panxiang Temple is the family temple of the Lin family.

The place where Aunt Lin and Miaoyu practiced before.

Feng Yibo was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

He heard Aunt Lin and Miaoyu mention this matter.

It's just that I didn't expect that it turned out to be Uncle Xing's family.

So they can rent a cheap house, except that Aunt Lin wants Miaoyu to be with her peers.

There must be reasons for relatives.

"It's a pity that no matter how frugal you are, you can only go out but not in, and you will end up sitting and eating, alas!"

Jia Lian immediately sighed when he thought of his own home.

As he spoke, he raised his glass as a gesture.

After everyone had a drink together, he continued:

"Seeing that there is no way to continue, he wanted to come to Duzhong again, and find the eldest lady, the eldest sister who is in charge of the Xing family's property, to make some autumn wind. He wanted her to share some profits from the Xing family's property and buy land for them to buy a house."

Since the Xing family can marry the Jia family, they are naturally officials.

What's more, Jia She's hereditary title of first-class general, even if it is continued, will not be a small family.

After all, once you get married, you will have a first-class fate.

Of course, compared with the Jia family, the Xing family must be much worse.

Moreover, the elders of Xing's family were not in the personnel affairs, and they plummeted even more.

But the so-called, a skinny luo is bigger than a horse.

The property of the Xing family is absolutely astronomical for ordinary people.

Even if it was distributed to Xing Zhong, a bastard, it would be enough for them to squander it for a while.

After selling the real estate, he ate and drank for more than ten years.

Now Mrs. Xing is in charge of the property of the Xing family, and is ordered by Rongfu.

In Xing Zhong's view, as long as the eldest sister leaks a little bit through the fingers.

Enough for their family to eat for a lifetime!
Xue Pan smacked his lips and poured the wine.

It seems that there is still more to say.

Xue Biao showed a pensive look, as if he was thinking about something.

"The eldest wife and her direct siblings are not married, so naturally she won't agree, but they are relatives after all, so they won't be kicked out."

Mrs. Xing is also not a human being inside and outside.

The younger brother didn't complain, but the eldest brother also came to pester him.

Whether she helps or not, and if she doesn't help, it doesn't make sense.

So we can only drag on like this first.

"The whole family didn't achieve their goal, and they lived in the mansion, so they went around in front of the eldest wife from time to time, trying to deduct two money from her."

Xing Zhong had no choice but to stay here.

Otherwise, we will not be able to survive.

But Mrs. Xing obviously won't give him any more family property for nothing.

Don't say whether she is willing or not, if you divide Xing Zhong more.

Xing Dequan knew that he wanted to turn his face even more.

After all, after all, he is the real heir of the Xing family.

"The eldest lady had no choice but to settle them outside. Only the cousin of the Xing family was very fond of the old lady, so the eldest lady left her and lived in the garden with her second sister as a companion."

Although Mrs. Xing didn't like her elder brother, she had a good impression of her niece.

In addition, knowing that Jia's mother likes good-looking girls, she took her to see them.

As expected, Mother Jia liked it and kept her in the mansion to accompany Yingchun.

They lived in Zilingzhou together.

According to the share of Miss Jia's mansion, monthly bills of money were given.

It's just that most of the money was taken by Xing Zhong and his wife.

Although it is a drop in the bucket, it is an income anyway.

It's just that Xing Xiuyan suffered a lot and gave all the money to his parents.

I can't even afford to give the servant money.

In a place like Rong Mansion, it's inevitable to look blankly.

Fortunately, she was quiet and didn't care about these things.

Only with hairpin and thorn skirt cloth, I lived a rare and peaceful life in the Grand View Garden.

Originally these were not in Jia Lian's eyes, but recently Mrs. Xing had some other thoughts.

"If it's just that, it's fine. After all, it's about their Xing family, but the eldest wife has made up my mind, so it's embarrassing."

Jia Lian finally got back to the topic, but Feng Yibo was a little puzzled.

"What do you mean?"

When Jia Lian heard this, he said angrily:

"It's not that the eldest wife told the elder that she intends to let her niece fill in the house for me."

Xue Pan was surprised when he heard this.

At the same time, he looked at his cousin beside him.

As soon as Xue Biao finished pouring the wine, he suddenly paused.

Then I didn't respect others, just picked it up and drank it down.

Feng Yibo heard this, but he was a little puzzled and said:
"Isn't that a good thing?"

Xue Pan obviously wanted to speak, but was kicked by Xue Biao next to him.

At this time, Jia Lian shook his head and said:

"How can we talk about these things before the national funeral?"

As soon as this statement was heard, it was an excuse, and no one in the room believed it.

Even Xue Pan showed disdain.

The national funeral is not over yet, and the Jue's family really cannot marry a wife.

But if it's not polite, it's okay to just settle the matter privately first.

But Wang Xifeng's "death" made Jia Liangang feel the value of freedom.

How many days has it been quiet?

Jia Lian, who hasn't played enough, naturally doesn't want to fall into marriage again.

Live the life of being held captive.

As for his marriage, the initiative is in the hands of his parents.

His father, Jia She, was fine.

He spends his time drinking and sexing every day, so he has no time to talk to him at all.

It's just that I don't seem to have enough money recently, and occasionally lose my temper for nothing.

Jia Lian has some income, and he can get rid of it by giving him some money.

But on Mrs. Xing's side, Xing Zhong brought his wife and daughter to vote.

She actually let her deliberately imitate Mrs. Wang and wanted to support her niece.

Let the niece marry into the mansion, and she will help her.

After all, Jia Lian is also the concubine of the big house, and he will not be able to escape the title in the future.

It's just that Jia Amnesty disliked Uncle Xing's poverty, and the national funeral was not over yet.

Only then temporarily delayed this matter, and did not let go.

"Of course, I don't want to delay her."

Feng Yibo couldn't stand Jia Lian's dignified appearance.

At the moment, he said what he thought in his heart.

"It turns out that Brother Lian doesn't like it."

Although this era is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker.

But everyone wants to find someone they can admire.

Jia Lian is no exception.

Seeing Feng Yibo breaking his mind, he explained with some embarrassment:
"My cousin is good at everything, she is very pretty, and she has read some books, but..."

Jia Lian has seen this cousin of the Xing family.

Although her family is poor and humble, she is extremely well-off.

The hairpin and thorn skirt cloth can hardly conceal its beauty.

It's just that there is a faint sense of being out of the world between the brows.

It is this that makes Jia Lian unhappy.

"It's just that she is a little cold, and she is not on the same side as me."

What he likes is to know some love affairs.

At least he has to be able to do what he wants.

This cousin knew at a glance that she was not interesting.

It might not even be as good as Wang Xifeng, I'm afraid it would take a lot of effort to turn over.

Jia Lian didn't want to marry a Bodhisattva to worship at home.

Feng Yibo saw his mood to some extent, and smiled immediately:

"Since that's the case, why don't you find someone you like first, and just accept it."

He felt that Jia Lian was looking for an obedient man, not someone's arm.

Mrs. Wang's niece made him suffer a lot.

Now this Xing Xiuyan is Mrs. Xing's niece again.

How could he be defenseless?

The two brothers Xue Pan and Xue Biao nodded after hearing the words.

Xue Biao even echoed:
"That's right. As Lian's second brother, what do you want?"

On the other hand, Xue Pan looked at him strangely, but didn't make a sound.

"I haven't met a suitable one yet, and it's not easy for me to make my own decisions about my marriage."

Having said that, Jia Lian couldn't help but sighed.

It's fine if it's someone else, but he is the heir to the big house of Rongfu.

Randomly helping a concubine will only make people laugh.

If Ping'er was still there, Jia Lian would still be reluctant to help him.

After all, Ping'er is the companion of the Wang family, so she can barely maintain the previous relationship.

In fact, it wasn't just these two relatives that bothered him.

The main reason is that sooner or later he will continue.

Because not only Mrs. Xing, but even the little girls in the mansion had their ideas on him.

The big girl Xiren in Baoyu's room had sought him out in private.

Said that as long as he nodded, he would find a way to redeem himself.

Then he took her back as a good concubine.

This Xiren's wishful thinking was well planned, and he obviously came here for the opportunity of rectification.

For the sake of peace in the back house, Jia Lian naturally would not provoke such a scheming person.

What's more, Baoyu's younger brother is the treasure of the elders in the house.

He didn't want to cause such trouble.

In his capacity, it is impossible to straighten a maid.

Not even good.

In fact, Jia Lian wanted to take in a few more concubines.

It's just that he is out in the wind and snow, and he can still steal fragrance at home.

Had a great time.

He hasn't even taken a concubine yet, and he doesn't want more than one person to take care of her.

How can he let others stretch his hands into his room again?
For him, more people are not as good as many girls.

If it's about taking concubines, he most wants to take in this girl.

At least it was enough to relieve his loneliness.

Speaking of this multi-girl, it's the same as that of Bao's family.

Is a married woman.

Her husband's name is Duoguan, who is also similar to Bao Er.

Helping cook in the backyard of Rongfu.

It's just that he is cowardly, and he is a very ineffective and shabby wine head.

Everyone called him "Duohun Chong".

Many girls were married for him by his parents when he was young, and they are only in their twenties this year.

Because he was born with some talents, everyone who sees him is envious and loves him.

I don't know if it's because he is frivolous by nature, or because he is too stupid.

In short, this multi-girl loves flirting the most.

There is no theory about how dirty, but there is wine, meat and money, so I don't care about everything.

Therefore, people from the Rong and Ning mansions can easily get started.

Jia Lian is the best. Hearing the name, he will naturally try it.

Unexpectedly, after spending only one ingot of silver, there will be unexpected gains.

This beautiful girl has a natural curiosity.

Once a man touches his body, he will feel his muscles and bones go limp.

Make a man feel like lying on a cotton pad.

He is even more naughty and talkative, and can even overwhelm prostitutes.

This made Jia Lian never forget after trying it.

That taste, tsk tsk tsk!
That's fun!
This is called a woman!
If it wasn't for his reputation, he would have thought of taking her in.

As for a lady like Xing Xiuyan, she is Mrs. Xing's niece.

He could well imagine the boredom of married life.

You can see the lightness of the future at a glance!

If he hadn't known that Feng Yibo and Xue Biao were both decent people, they wouldn't have spoken well.

He really wanted to share in the fun.

Seeing what Jia Lian was thinking of, he had a smirk on his face.

Feng Yibo raised his wine glass and said:
"Come on, come on, there's nothing to worry about. If you have wine today, you'll be drunk today. Let's talk about who you marry tomorrow!"

Xue Pan came to his senses at this moment and responded immediately:

"But woman, is it worth worrying about? Come on!"

Xue Tada glared at Xue Pan before raising his glass.

Jia Lian also swept away the boredom just now, and raised his glass in agreement:
"Let's not talk about that, seeing off the two brothers today, it should be more lively, but it's limited by the etiquette, so we can't have a good time, let's find it in the wine!"

Several people were chatting vigorously, and someone came here to report:
"Masters, aunts and wives have bid farewell to the old lady, eldest wife, wife and others, and now they are back in Lixiangyuan. They sent me to ask if the masters are ready to go."

Feng Yibo got up when he heard this, and the Xue family brothers also got up after seeing this.

"Let's go, Brother Lian, let's go to my house to continue!"
