Chapter 6 Bad Premonition
Xiangling was very nervous when she saw so many eyes around her looking at her. Xue Pan was aroused to be competitive and playful at this time. He said to Xiangling very confidently: "Don't listen to this prisoner's deception, my dear."
My brother is the second son of Duke Rongguo in the capital. He has a noble status. Following him will ensure that you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future. Isn’t it a hundred times better than following this poor man? Don’t be ignorant!"
Jia Baoyu heard Xue Pan talking and knew that the situation was not good. A girl like Xiang Ling might not be able to distinguish many pros and cons, but the girl's natural instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is still there.
Feng Yuan was a gentle man who was harmless to humans and animals. However, he had a dozen or so "ferocious" people headed by Xue Pan. Comparing the two, Jia Baoyu put himself in his shoes and thought that if he had chosen Feng Yuan, he would have chosen him.
With a sigh in his heart, Jia Baoyu was not too disappointed. He just thought that he had done good deeds and fulfilled an injustice committed in the original work.
Sure enough, Xiangling met Feng Yuan's expectant and eager eyes, and then glanced at Jia Baoyu. When her eyes fell on Xue Pan unconsciously, she subconsciously shrank her neck, and then moved towards Feng Yuan step by step.
"Hahaha, congratulations to Mr. Feng for bringing home this beautiful woman. You will have to invite us to your house for a wedding drink in the future!"
There were some good-hearted onlookers in the crowd, and when they saw the results, they immediately started cheering.
Feng Yuan was naturally overjoyed. He clasped his fists and said around: "Thank you all, I will definitely hold a banquet and invite you all to my house for a wedding drink someday, hahaha..."
"Damn it..." Xue Pan rolled up his sleeves, and Wu Quan and others were also ready to make a move and followed Xue Pan.
Feng Yuan changed his expression and said: "Why, could it be that Uncle Xue cannot afford to lose and wants to use force to rob Feng in front of everyone?"
The people around also showed some disdain. Without what happened before, it didn't matter to everyone who Xiangling went with. It was just two families fighting for a girl. But they all agreed to let the girl do what she wanted. Now
Zi retorted again, which is really disgusting.
Fortunately, Jia Baoyu knew Xue Pan's temper, so he grabbed him and forced him out of the door before he gave the order.
"Brother Bao, we can't just let it go. What a good woman, how can we give it to him for free? I can't swallow this breath!"
Xue Pan was reluctant and his tone was very angry.
Although Jia Baoyu pulled him, he suddenly felt a little fond of him. No matter what his thoughts were, he was so eager to "recruit people" for him, even more interested than himself. Such a relationship, in the
In later generations, it can only be done by people at the level of iron brothers.
Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu felt that although Xue Pan had many problems, there was still no room for improvement. He was not a judge, and he did not need to rely solely on a person's good or bad qualities to consider whether to make friends with him or not. Treat his own with sincerity.
Why do people treat others harshly?
"Brother Xue, calm down. To use what Brother Xue said before, isn't she just a little wife? If you lose, you lose. It's no big deal. If we regret it now and try to get it back, we will lose the Xue and Jia families.
It’s not worth it for a little girl to save her face. But I’ll just remember Brother Xue’s affection.”
Jia Baoyu persuaded him with sincere words. Xue Pan was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his leg and kicked the crutch who was being held by the Xue family boy. He kicked him so hard that he screamed.
Seeing that Xue Pan finally stopped pestering him, Jia Baoyu let him go and said, "I wasted a lot of time in the restaurant. Now it's getting late. Why don't we go back home today and go shopping another day? By the way,
Let’s take him to the Yamen first.”
Xue Pan rolled his eyes and said, "It's so simple as sending him to the Yamen. Why do we have to go there ourselves? Just ask Wu Quan and the others to go. We can go back directly."
"That's fine."
The waiter of the restaurant had already brought Xue Pan and Jia Baoyu's horses out from the backyard. Xue Pan asked Jia Baoyu to get on the horse, then turned around and explained to Wu Quan and others, asking them to send the kidnapper to Yingtian Mansion, and then
He also got on the horse. If Jia Baoyu looked carefully at Xue Pan's face at this time, he would find that there was a hint of cunning hidden in his eyes, which did not match his fat and stupid face.
It didn't take much time to return to Xue's house. When he came in, Xue Pan said that he had other things to do and asked Jia Baoyu to go to the house by himself. Jia Baoyu didn't let him think about it, and asked his two young men to make cigarettes and hoe medicine respectively.
I went to rest and walked into the inner courtyard of Xue's house.
"My wife doesn't know that although the brother of the Zhen family has been found, it's really not good. We didn't see his brother, but we just heard from his mother-in-law when we were waiting for his wife in the outer hall.
, the night their brother was found, he became stupid and could not speak. He was either sleeping or staring at the lamp in a daze all day long. When people came to see him, he would not speak, but would just look at people.
laugh."
Stepping into the courtyard arranged by the Xue family for their mother and son, and entering Mrs. Wang's room, they saw the Zhou Rui family and two other mothers-in-law answering Mrs. Wang.
The Jia family is the head of the four major families in Jinling. Although most of their roots have now moved to the capital, there are still twelve members of the family living in Jinling. In addition, the Jia family has many relatives and friends in Jinling City. Mrs. Wang, as the Rongguo Mansion
When the lady in charge of the house comes here, she naturally has to send people to visit her everywhere, as is the etiquette of a big family.
Today, the Zhou Rui family went to the Zhen family in the city.
After Jia Baoyu entered the door, Mrs. Wang asked him to sit down, but she didn't ask him anything else. Instead, she asked about Zhou Rui's family: "How do you say, how can a person be so stupid when he is so good? There must be a reason, right?"
Zhou Rui's family replied: "As for the reason, their mother-in-law couldn't explain it clearly, and we didn't dare to ask their wife. I heard that she was in good spirits the night she was found, but she was confused when speaking. Their brother
The son was also called Baoyu, and the old lady always loved him the most. That night he was carried to the old lady's Cixuan Hall. The whole family, including sisters, relatives and friends, crowded into the room. Naturally, they were all concerned about him, but he actually said that he was not Baoyu.
, and asked everyone who they were. The old lady and others were naturally surprised, and asked him, "If you are not Baoyu, then who are you?" He actually said that he was Baoyu, and then retorted that he was not Baoyu... so
After going back and forth, the old lady and others thought he was frightened, so they naturally did not take his words to heart, thinking that he would be fine if he rested for a night. Who knew that was not the case, and the next day would get worse.
My old lady cried and fainted several times because of this..."
Mrs. Wang was very sad after hearing this. She felt that Zhen's brother was indeed very similar to his Baoyu. They were both the pet peeves of the old lady in the family, and they loved the house as much as the bird. Now that she heard that he was not good, she naturally felt a little uncomfortable, so she also
No longer interested in inquiring, he asked Zhou Rui's family and others to go down.
"Baoyu, did you go shopping with your brother Xue in the city today? You haven't recovered from your illness yet. Why don't you listen to me and take good care of yourself at home?"
Mrs. Wang called Jia Baoyu closer, straightened the clothes on his chest and complained.
"Don't worry, madam, my illness has been cured. If you don't believe me, please take a look!"
Jia Baoyu knew that his current health was not bad. In order to dispel the image of a "weak chicken" in Mrs. Wang's heart, Jia Baoyu was ashamed and jumped three times on the spot...
"Hehehe, wait a minute, be careful not to fall." Mrs. Wang smiled and signaled Jia Baoyu to stop making trouble, but seeing that Jia Baoyu was indeed jumping around, why was she unhappy?
Seeing that Mrs. Wang was in a better mood, Jia Baoyu said a few pleasant words and then left.
When he returned to his house, he found that Xi and Meiren were both drying their clothes in the backyard. Jia Baoyu stood at the door of the back room and watched for a while. Although he missed Xiangling today, he did not regret it. These two maids,
In fact, it’s not much worse than Xiangling.
After reading for a long time, he felt a little leisurely. Jia Baoyu returned to the house and found out the book he took from Baochai to read it. In this era when everything is of inferior quality and the only thing that is good is reading, reading more is always beneficial, and
He found that in this life, his memory was very good. When reading these books, he could always remember them easily, and he could not forget them easily. He didn't know whether it was because of the extraordinary talent of this body now, or because of the dream he had when he first came here.
The reason why I met Shenying...
Jia Baoyu concentrated on reading, and quickly read a copy of "History of the Yuan Dynasty". After thinking for a while, he picked up "The Doctrine of the Mean", one of the four books, and prepared to read it. Suddenly, there was a noise outside, as well as Xue Pan's cheerful voice.
:
"Brother Bao, come out and take a look and see what I brought back to you..."
