Red Mansion, Ningfu Scholarly Family

Chapter 59: At the critical moment, you still have to look to your mother's family
……

The rain in May comes very suddenly. The sun was shining brightly just now, but soon dark clouds covered the sky and strong winds howled.

The room became dark, and Baochai was still in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Aunt Xue lit the lamp, came back and continued to sit on the bed, saying earnestly: "The Jia family...after all, treats us as outsiders."

"Except for your aunt, the old lady here doesn't take us seriously at all, not to mention the great master over there. I'm afraid he has already set his eyes on the family business of our Xue family's eldest branch!"

Baochai came back to her senses and shook her head slowly, saying, "That's not the case. Master Jing has a good reputation in the officialdom, and the Ningguo Mansion should not look down on my little wealth."

Aunt Xue said, "Then why did he ignore Pan'er's affairs? Apart from relatives, our four major families prosper together and suffer together."

Baochai smiled bitterly and said, "Perhaps... he didn't want to get involved in our family's troubles. After all, it was my brother's temper that caused all the trouble."

Aunt Xue was silent for a long time before she said, "No matter what, I have made up my mind. I will move to your uncle's house tomorrow and stay there temporarily, waiting for your uncle to come back and save Pan'er. No one else can be trusted!"

Baochai is smart, but she has just arrived in Kyoto and is unfamiliar with the place, so she has no other ideas for the time being.

Looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, I sighed softly.

I just hope that I don’t end up falling into a tiger’s den just after escaping from a wolf’s den!
Their family has now become a big piece of fat meat, and they will probably be restless wherever they go.

……

"Ah? Master Rong!?"

It is said that Yuanyang was pushed into the house by Xiaoxiao. When she looked closely, she found that it was Jia Rong sitting at the table drinking tea elegantly. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The room is very small, with a bed and a dressing table inside, separated by a curtain, and a table and two chairs outside. There are some embroidered ornaments hanging on the wall, and the decoration is very fresh and elegant.

"Xiao Xiao was making trouble, and I followed her. It was so scary!" Yuanyang pressed his chest lightly and said angrily.

"I haven't seen you for so long, I miss you so much."

"Stop talking nonsense." Yuanyang pulled Jia Rong up with a stern face and pushed him out, saying, "It's not good for a master like you to be seen in our maid's room. Go out quickly. We can talk outside if there's anything."

Jia Rong was quickly pushed out of the house.

Yuanyang glared at Xiaoxiao who was standing at the door: "Where are the rules of your East Mansion? If the master knew about this, he would definitely beat you to death!"

Xiao Xiao smiled confidently and said, "Grandpa is going to find another girl for our grandpa, I am here to help him share his worries!"

"Give you a damn share!"

"whee……"

At this moment, half of the sky suddenly lit up, followed by a loud "crack" and raindrops as big as beans fell down with a crackling sound.

Yuanyang was startled and was pushed into the house by Xiaoxiao. He said with a smile, "See, God has called us in. What else can you say? Go and pour some tea!"

Yuanyang didn't say anything at this time, and obediently picked up the pot to pour tea for the two of them.

Jia Rong took a sip of tea and asked with a smile, "Second Aunt has suddenly invited us to come. Does Yuanyang know what it is about?"

Yuanyang said: "I heard that she seems to be pregnant."

Jia Rong nodded and said, "No wonder, this must be celebrated."

Yuanyang said, "Madam, the ladies also like it very much."

Jia Rong suddenly remembered something and said to Xiao Xiao, "Go back and release Ping Er immediately. Second Aunt can't leave her alone right now."

Yuanyang held her forehead and asked, "What? You guys also detained Ping'er?"

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "We were just joking with her."

mandarin duck:"……"

You two!

Xiaoxiao went to release the people with an umbrella. Yuanyang ordered the little maid to find an umbrella for Jia Rong as well, and said with a smile, "You have had enough tea, let's go to the banquet, the fourth lady and Miss Lin have already gone."

"go together?"

"I can't. I still have to serve the old lady."

"Aren't Liuli and the others here? Come on, I'll hold an umbrella for you."

"Hey, wait a minute..."

"I'll go with my own umbrella!"

At one point, Jia Rong and Yuanyang came to Feng Ji's yard one after the other, holding umbrellas.

Xichun and Lin Daiyu had already arrived and were talking with the sisters Xiangyun, Yingchun and Tanchun.

"Look, my nephew is here!"

"Just when I mentioned my nephew, he's here." "Oh my, why are they both here together?"

Several people looked at Yuanyang with smiles on their faces.

Jia Rong stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yuanyang wants to eat crabs. He is very greedy."

mandarin duck:"……"

Sister Feng laughed out loud: "I'll have enough to eat today!"

Everyone said, "Take a break and don't overwork yourself."

Sister Feng laughed and scolded, "I don't know where that damn bitch Ping'er has gone!"

Jia Rong said, "Don't be upset, auntie. I asked her to run some errands. She should be back soon."

Sister Feng smiled and said, "You are good at assigning tasks to our maids. You must be paid for it."

"Have."

"That's all."

"I heard you're going to watch the dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival. Would you like to take me with you?"

"You should take a rest."

"Giggle."

"whee……"

Xiangyun asked, "Brother Rong, will you take me with you?"

Jia Rong said, "You can."

Tanchun laughed and said, "Rong'er, what about us? We are all aunts, you are showing favoritism!"

Jia Rong laughed: "Don't worry, I'll bring you some delicious food."

"Humph……"

Tanchun snorted softly, obviously not satisfied.

At this time, Yingchun suddenly said, "Why hasn't Sister Bao come yet? It would be a good thing for everyone to get to know each other today."

Xiangyun came here yesterday and had already met Baochai. She sighed and said, "Sister Bao has a lot of things to do at home. She didn't come now, and I'm afraid she won't come today."

"Where's Baoyu? Why didn't he come to join in the fun today?"

"It seems that the master called me over to ask about my homework."

Everyone: "..."

Sure enough, after a while a little maid came to say that the concubine would not come home.

Everyone knew the situation at Aunt Xue's home, so no one said much. They all enjoyed the rain outside and had a very enjoyable banquet, which ended in the evening.

……

The next morning.

The Xue family packed their bags and went to say goodbye to Lady Jia.

Grandmother Jia laughed and said, "Why are you leaving now? Why don't you stay for a few more days?"

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "No, her aunt has urged us several times. Let's go and stay for a few days."

Mrs. Wang smiled proudly and said, "Brother will be back soon, just in time to help deal with Pan'er's affairs."

It’s not possible in your house.

It also depends on my elder brother Wang Ziteng!

Grandmother Jia nodded and said with a smile: "Since your family has important matters, we will not stay any longer. Don't forget to come and talk another day."

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "I will definitely come to bother you again some other day."

So everyone said goodbye reluctantly.

The Xue family mother and daughter moved out of the Rongguo Mansion and moved into the prince's palace.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng naturally gave a warm reception. She held Aunt Xue's hand affectionately and said with a smile, "When you come here, just treat it as your own home. Don't worry about Pan'er. The master has already written back and will come back as soon as possible."

Moreover, Wang Zishen, Wang Ren and others rushed over after hearing the news, and they all promised that they would use their connections in the government office to rescue Xue Pan!
Aunt Xue was so moved that she burst into tears.

At critical moments, your mother’s family is still the best!
