save the bachelors

Chapter 4763 [Husband sings and wife follows]

On the second day after Xiang Nan and Lin Daiyu's wedding, the two concubines Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun also entered the Prince's Mansion in sedan chairs.

In this way, the wedding of Xiang Nan and other two was officially completed.

After marriage, Xiang Nan and his three friends got along very harmoniously.

On the one hand, everyone is an acquaintance, having lived together for four or five years, and having grown up together, they know each other well and have a good emotional foundation;

On the one hand, Xiang Nan also knows how to coax girls. He knows how to treat them equally and make them feel that they are the most favored.

Therefore, their relationship can be described as husband and wife following each other's lead, and they are as sweet as honey.

Not long after Xiang Nan's wedding, Tanchun also officially married the grandson of the Prince of Nan'an.

The wedding was also held in a very grand manner, only slightly inferior to Xiang Nan's wedding.

The legitimate grandson of the Prince of Nan'an can inherit the title. For Tanchun, who was born out of wedlock, this marriage is a very good one.

Moreover, this legitimate grandson is not an ordinary playboy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. On the contrary, he is a man of both literary and martial talents and very accomplished.

Therefore, Xiang Nan was very happy for Tanchun that she could marry so well.

……

After Tanchun got married, Xichun was the only one left in the Jia family, and she had reached the age to get married.

For this reason, the Jia family also began to make arrangements for her.

And her marriage is not difficult to say.

Firstly, she was the eldest daughter of the Ningguo Mansion and her status was higher than that of Yingchun and Tanchun, who were born out of wedlock; secondly, although Jia Zhen had no legitimate career, he was still a first-class duke, so his sister was naturally of great status as well.

Therefore, after the final screening, Xichun said that giving her to the twelfth prince as a concubine was considered quite good.

……

Time passed quickly, and half a year later, Xiang Nan took Xiren and Qingwen as concubines.

In the book, Xiren had sex with Jia Baoyu very early on and was favored by Lady Wang, becoming a candidate for concubine at an early stage.

Unfortunately, before he had the chance to honor her, Jia Baoyu became a monk, so Xiren finally married the opera singer Jiang Yuhan.

And this was not a good thing for her.

Because Jiang Yuhan was born into an actor family, he belonged to the lowest class. Although he had his own house and property and looked like a country gentleman, he was still a lowly person after all.

Especially in ancient times, male dan was basically like a prostitute, in addition to singing opera, he also had to accompany the master. Just like Cheng Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine", he was successively defiled by Zhang Gonggong, Yuan Siye and others.

When male actors get older and their beauty fades, they often have to offer their wives, or even sons and daughters, to win over their patrons. This was a very common thing in ancient times.

Therefore, no one is willing to marry an actor unless there is no other choice.

In "The Scholars", Mrs. Wang, who had been married twice, was deceived by a matchmaker and married Bao Tingxi, who managed an opera troupe, thinking she was marrying a good man.

Later, when the two talked, they found out that Bao Tingxi was not the owner of the store, but the owner of the opera troupe, and he immediately became furious. This shows what kind of status the opera actors held in the eyes of people at that time.

Xiang Nan had never had sex with Xiren before, but he was grateful for her dedication over the years, so he made her his concubine.

……

Qingwen was specifically assigned to Xiang Nan by Lady Jia.

She was not only beautiful, charming and clever, like Daiyu, but also smart and eloquent. She was especially good at embroidery, so she was one of the most capable maids in Yihong Courtyard.

In the book, Qingwen offended the maids in Yihong Courtyard because of her gossip, and they reported her to Mrs. Wang, saying that she seduced Baoyu to do bad things. Mrs. Wang believed it without further investigation, so she scolded her and drove her out of Jia Mansion. Qingwen was wronged for no reason, and she was so angry that she died in humiliation.

Before he died, he lamented that he was innocent but had been given a false reputation. If he had known this would happen, he would have just accepted it.

Xiang Nan also knew Qingwen's good qualities, so he took her as his concubine.

In this way, Xiang Nan had five wives and concubines around him, and naturally enjoyed all the good fortune.

……

While Xiang Nan was enjoying himself with Daiyu, Baochai, Xiangyun, Xiren, Qingwen and others, Xue Pan was always feeling uneasy.

After Xue Baochai got married, Aunt Xue was unable to support herself, so Xia Jingui wanted to take over the inner house and take over the Xue family's business at the same time.

Although the Xue family had fallen on hard times, they were not completely bankrupt, and they still had some assets. Xia Jingui was planning to do something big to transfer the Xue family's money to the Xia family.

Originally, the Xia family consisted of only Grandma Xia and her daughter Xia Jingui. But when Xia Jingui married into the Xue family and saw through the Xue family's superficial strength, Grandma Xia chose a nephew to adopt in order to avoid being wiped out by the Xue family.

However, this nephew was not a capable person. After being adopted into the Xia family, he indulged in eating, drinking, gambling, and sleeping with prostitutes. Within two years, he had almost spent all the Xia family's property.

The key point is that he and Xia Jingui have some unclear things. When Xue Pan went out to do business, Xia Jingui often went back to her parents' home. Her brother also often came to see her, and the two of them were having a hot affair in private.

That's why Xia Jingui wanted to transfer all the money of Xue's family to Xia's family. Then, she would continue to make trouble and let Xue Pan divorce her. In this way, she could return to Xia's family and enjoy the money of Xue's family while having an affair with her cousin.

Although Aunt Xue was mature, she had no daughter to help her and give her advice, so she could not do it alone. Xue Pan was a hopeless case and could not suppress Xia Jingui at all.

As a result, Xia Jingui's evil plan gradually succeeded, and she took over the Xue family's inner house and external business. She was also able to manipulate the Xue family's money and embezzled most of it.

After taking all the money, Xia Jingui started to make a big fuss, acting crazy and stupid, making a fuss all day and all night, and even scolded and beat Aunt Xue.

After all, she was a young person, while Aunt Xue was old. How could she be her match? As a result, she was beaten and angry by her, and fell ill all of a sudden.

But Xue Pan had already been suppressed by Xia Jingui. Seeing his mother being wronged so much, he was unable to help and did not even dare to resist. He could only let his mother be bullied.

When Xue Baochai heard about this, she felt very worried for her mother and brother.

But as a married girl, she really couldn't take care of the Xue family's affairs anymore.

After all, the daughter who gets married is the water she throws away.

So I could only worry every night, and several clumps of my hair fell out because of it.

……

Xiang Nan originally didn't want to get involved in the Xue family's affairs.

Because there is something hateful about pitiful people.

Xue Pan was incompetent, he had grown up a long time ago, but he was still ignorant and was suppressed by a woman. Aunt Xue was stupid and spoiled her child blindly, which led to the current disaster.

But seeing that Xue Baochai was so upset, he had no choice but to take action.

Xiang Nan sent a direct message to Shuntian Prefecture, asking them to thoroughly investigate the stepson of the Xia family.

How could Shuntian Prefecture dare to go against Xiang Nan's wishes and immediately began a thorough investigation.

The stepson of the Xia family indulged in eating, drinking, gambling, whoring and all kinds of women. He did everything he could think of. It could be said that he was full of faults. He was easily caught with a braid and taken to the lobby of Shuntian Mansion. Before he could be beaten, he even told the truth about how old he was when he stopped wetting the bed.

Naturally, the scandal between him and Xia Jingui, as well as the Xia family's conspiracy, were also told.
