The Red Mansion En Xiaohou

Chapter 46 Xue Family Affairs

Xiren glanced around and stopped Jia Baoyu's desire to continue talking.

"Did anyone see it?"

Jia Baoyu shook his head towards Xiren.

When something went wrong, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but shed tears of fear.

Seeing Jia Baoyu's frightened appearance, Xiren sighed deeply.

"The paper can't hide the fire after all. Baoyu, you wait here first. I'll inquire and see if Fourth Master is awake. If Baoyu wakes up, you should take the initiative to apologize to Fourth Master. If you don't wake up again, Just act like nothing happened, and no one saw it anyway."

Jia Baoyu nodded towards Xi Renyi.

Assailants go out.

Jia Baoyu sat in the room alone, waiting for the attacker to come back.

After the imperial decree appointed by the emperor came down, it was Wang Deming who issued the decree.

"What happened to Jia Shidu's head?"

Wang Deming is also Jia Shan's old friend, after reading the imperial decree, Wang Deming saw the injury on the back of Jia Shan's head and asked with concern.

Jia Shan subconsciously wanted to reach out to touch it, but remembering what the imperial physician said, Jia Shan put her hand down in embarrassment.

"Knock!"

"This morning, our family met you and you were fine. Now that you're knocked like this, Jia Shi will have to be careful in the future. The back of your head is the most vulnerable."

Wang Deming told Jia Shan with a smile.

Jashan gave a forced smile.

After hearing what Aunt Xue said, Xue Pan was rarely impulsive.

"Mom, have you sent the money to your aunt?"

"I gave 5 taels first, and the remaining 15 taels have not been delivered yet."

Aunt Xue said truthfully, Xue Pan breathed a sigh of relief.

Just send it all away.

"Mom, you wait here, I'll go find my uncle."

Xue Pan ran out quickly and came to the capital for a long time. Without Jia Zhen's influence, Xue Pan improved a lot.

Even so, Aunt Xue was still worried and called Xue Pan's name behind her.

Afraid of him getting into trouble.

However, at this time Xue Pan had already left the gate of Lixiang Garden and went straight to the bank.

After a while, Xue Pan withdrew 15 taels of silver from the Xue family's bank and went directly to Jia Zheng.

"Uncle, I have already given you 5 taels of silver. This is the remaining 15 taels of silver that I lent to my Xue family. My mother asked me to send it over."

Xue Pan handed the bill to Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng took the bill in Xue Pan's hand in a daze.

"When did I ask you to borrow money?"

"Huh?" Xue Pan looked at Jia Zheng with a dark face. "Uncle is going to turn his face and deny it?"

Jia Zheng was even more confused.

"That day my aunt came to my mother and said that she wanted to borrow 20 taels of silver to plug the hole. You don't know about it with my uncle."

Seeing Jia Zheng's appearance, Xue Pan smiled inwardly.

Xue Pan continued to act, and looked at Jia Zheng pretending to be suddenly enlightened.

"I thought you knew about it, Uncle, and about my sister and Baoyu's marriage. My aunt has already said, when will a matchmaker come to propose marriage and exchange tokens."

Jia Zheng's eyes are full of confusion, what is this and what, when did he make a marriage with Xue's family.

How many things did Mrs. Wang do behind his back?

Jia Zheng was furious and wanted to ask Mrs. Wang for clarification, but Xue Pan pulled him back with a black face.

"It's not uncle, you don't know about the possibility of money, and you don't know about Baoyu's marriage. Do you want to renege on your debt? My mother gave you 5 taels of silver. Now you can be ashamed if you want to. My Xue family is easy to bully."

Xue Pan launched his dumb temper with the fearlessness of the overlord.

Jia Zheng looked at Xue Pan with a pale face.

"Let go, what a shame you are doing."

Xue Pan is not a timid person, but he just pulls on Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng talked badly, and his servants also came to pull Xue Pan.

Seeing that the enemy was outnumbered, Xue Pan let go of Jia Zheng's hand.

Jia Zheng's complexion gradually softened.

"Uncle, don't blame me, Xue Pan, for not giving you face. You are more angry than me if you let your daughter share this matter. You must give me an explanation for this matter. My sister's reputation cannot be ruined by you like this." .”

"In addition, my Xue family's money is not picked up from the sky. Every copper coin is my father's hard-earned money. If my aunt and my mother didn't say so, my mother would not agree to give out 20 taels of silver. It's not a decimal, even if the Xue family has money, it doesn't mean they can take it out."

Xue Pan spoke to Jia Zheng with emotion and reason.

Jia Zheng is a reasonable person. When Xue Pan said this, he also knew what Xue Pan meant.

Jia Zheng went to Mrs. Wang and asked Xue Pan to wait here, and he would definitely give the Xue family an explanation.

In Mrs. Wang's courtyard,
At this time, Mrs. Wang didn't know what happened.

Wu Xing's family, who replaced Zhou Rui's family, accompanied Mrs. Wang, and the Buddha string in Mrs. Wang's hands kept turning.

Wu Xing's family is talking to Mrs. Wang about what happened in the mansion.

Mrs. Wang listened carefully, until she heard Jia Shan knock her head.

The corner of Mrs. Wang's mouth curled into a faint smile, and she knelt down in front of the Bodhisattva and kowtowed.

"Ma'am, the Xue family's money hasn't been delivered yet."

Mrs. Wang nodded lightly.

"No one was sent to ask my sister."

Mrs. Wang looked at Wu Xing's family, and Wu Xing's family's face was full of embarrassment.

"I'm afraid it won't work, ma'am."

"What's wrong."

"After returning from Miss Lin's place, Miss Bao fainted for some reason, and now the concubine's place is in chaos."

Mrs. Wang frowned, and Wu Xing's family helped Mrs. Wang up from the futon.

"Bao girl's body has always been strong, why did she pass out."

Choosing a daughter-in-law is not only based on family status, but also on the physical condition of the woman.

Xue Baochai is Mrs. Wang's favorite candidate for daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Wang asked about Xue Baochai's physical condition with concern.

"I really don't know about that, ma'am."

"In the past, I only heard that Miss Bao had a fever, but I didn't hear that she had other physical problems."

Mrs. Wang frowned even deeper.

"Go and check it out for me. If Bao girl is not in good health, it won't work."

"Yes, ma'am."

Wu Xing's family withdrew from Mrs. Wang's side.

Jia Zheng came to see Mrs. Wang angrily.

Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Zheng calmly.

"I borrowed 20 taels of silver."

"Bitch!"

Jia Zheng slapped Mrs. Wang across the face.

"Who gave you the guts to borrow so much money from the Xue family? What happened to Baoyu? You engaged Baoyu privately, but did you ask me?"

Jia Zheng questioned Mrs. Wang.

The ancients paid attention to the words of the matchmaker and the orders of the parents.

Under the patriarchal society, Mrs. Wang engaged Jia Baoyu privately without talking to Jia Zheng, which was a provocation to Jia Zheng's authority.

Mrs. Wang avoided answering, and instead questioned Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng was speechless by Mrs. Wang's question.

Mrs. Wang covered her face and cried.

Jia Zheng sighed deeply and sat down.

"Then you shouldn't be married to Baoyu privately. What kind of family is the Xue family? Even if it is one of the four great families in Jinling, it cannot escape the status of a merchant. Look at whose family's son is marrying a girl from the Xue family."
