Volume B Section 106 Mother and son, mother and daughter, brother and sister
Aunt Xue's family rarely came, so naturally they had to keep food.
After the meal, it was inevitable that the family members would talk about their parents' shortcomings together, and they didn't go back to Lixiangyuan until the third quarter of the first day of the Shen Dynasty.
When he returned to his home, Xue Pan immediately regained his vitality, and there was no longer the cowardly state when he was at his uncle's house, and Aunt Xue and Baochai were frowning.
"Wenlong also knows that he is now in Jingzhong, and your uncle is right, we should act cautiously, then Xiangling will follow your sister, and you don't have any other thoughts."
Although she feels sorry for her son, Aunt Xue also knows that her brother has always said the same, and this is also for the good of her son.
Now the family doesn't even dare to go back to Jinling, and they live in Beijing, but this life is not easy.
Xue Pan was annoyed.
This Xiangling Province is handsome, along the way is to follow his sister, is looking forward to arriving in Beijing, looking for a good day and an auspicious day to enter the room, but did not expect to be beaten by his uncle's horizontal pole.
But if he wanted to disobey his uncle's orders, he didn't dare.
The matter in Jinling has not yet been resolved, and thinking that he may be imprisoned one day, Xue Pan is still a little afraid.
Who would have thought that the Feng family was still the son of a squire, and fortunately, his family had long been ruined and had no relatives, otherwise this matter would be even more difficult.
The bumpy displacement of this year still made Xue Pan realize that some people still can't be provoked.
The Xue family used to be so beautiful in Jinling City, but now that the prefect is changing, the family is scared to run away.
This made the Xue family feel more and more that the times were different, and their own downfall was unsatisfactory.
"Mother, today my uncle asked about my sister, saying that entering the palace is like a 'living dead', I heard that it means that I don't agree with my sister's choice, but what about the eldest girl in my aunt's family?"
Xue Pan doesn't look at Hun as a big fool of Xue, but some things are not stupid, and he remembers it quite solidly.
Aunt Xue and Baochai's faces both changed color slightly.
Of course, they heard Wang Ziteng's words very clearly.
Especially the sentence that the concubines of the Great Zhou Dynasty are all from a cold family, and then there is a sentence that the current saints have always disliked martial arts, which also means that martial arts families like Jia Shi Wang Xue have women entering the palace, and there will be no good results.
It's just like this, why does the eldest girl of the Jia family want to enter the palace again?
Even if there is still a difference between entering the palace for the sake of women's history, but now the eldest girl is afraid that it is time to leave the palace, but now there is no news.
Fortunately, her daughter herself has no idea of being chosen, but she is just looking for a way to go north to Beijing.
But today, his brother obviously pays more attention to Baochai than Xue Pan, even if there is a reason why his son is not successful, but here still makes Aunt Xue feel a little different.
"And mother, my uncle treats my sister differently today, doesn't he want to find a good family for my sister?"
Xue Da Fool's words made Xue Baochai's face blush, and at the same time, it also made Aunt Xue's mother and daughter both moved.
Wang Ziteng's strange attention can't be hidden, and there seems to be no other reason for it except for such an explanation.
Baochai is already twelve years old, according to the practice of the era of the Great Zhou, when he is twelve, he can consider marriage, not that he needs to get married, but he can consider the problem of marriage partners.
A family like the Xue family is also a prestigious family, so it is certain that marriage is not a casual thing, if you want to find a satisfactory family, you need to consider it carefully.
It is normal to spend a year or two, and when Baochai turns fourteen, he can basically think about when he will get married.
According to the regulations of the Great Zhou, the age of a woman's marriage must not be less than 14 years old, but the convention is that about 16 years old is the best, and more than 18 years old is a little older.
Therefore, generally speaking, everyone will not get married when they are more than 20 years old, and they are basically difficult to marry if they are more than 20 years old.
However, there are not so many restrictions on men, except for the minimum limit of not less than fourteen years old, there are not many other constraints, but generally speaking, it is advisable not to be more than twenty years old.
Seeing that her daughter was a little shy, and she was afraid that her son would say something out of tune, Aunt Xue hurriedly said: "In short, your uncle will not harm you, he has a wide range of contacts and knowledge in Beijing, if he can find a good family for your sister, it will also be a good thing,......
"Mother, my daughter is still young...... Xue Baochai didn't want to say more, but she was afraid that her mother would say it too explicitly.
"Mother, this Baoyu runs to our yard all day long, do you say that uncle wants to match......
Xue was sitting on the side, and suddenly said to himself.
"I see that Baoyu is similar to me, he can't read, he fights in the family science all day long, and he is not much better than me, why does everyone praise Baoyu for being good, but when he sees me, he says no?"
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai's faces were dark, and they were a little touched.
The sons (brothers) are all good in their own homes.
In the past few days, the aunt, sister-in-law Zhu, second sister-in-law Lian, second sister, third sister, and fourth sister in Lixiang Courtyard have all praised Baoyu in various ways, except for that Sister Lin, who rarely commented, everyone else inevitably mentioned their brother.
It is said that my brother should be like Baoyu, and even Aunt Xue can only echo the benefits of Baoyu, but it is a little unpleasant to listen to it in my heart.
In order to prevent Xue Pan from going out to hang out, the family simply let him go to the Jia family school to mingle around, but he never thought that he would say that the family study was not a place to study, even so, it was better to be at home at home.
asked him why he wasn't where he was studying, but he couldn't say one, two, three, only that he couldn't read if he came in and out at will.
However, under Aunt Xue's severe persecution, Xue Pan was not too out of line, and he still had to go from time to time, but now he was gradually getting familiar with a few people from the East Mansion, which made Aunt Xue worried.
If Aunt Xue didn't have the slightest intention of wanting the Jia Xue family to marry, it would be false, that is, Baochai also vaguely knew some of her mother's thoughts.
Now the decline of the Xue family is becoming more and more obvious, especially if his brother is like this, if he continues like this, I am afraid that in ten years, the Xue family will be truly exposed.
Along the way, from Songjiang to Yangzhou, and then to the capital, those who make a living in their own homes are unsustainable and unsustainable, and some of them are actually occupied by some scoundrels, not to mention, but also that they owe them money and salaries, and many industries have been completely defeated.
But there is no backbone in the family, and the elder brother is a person who doesn't care about anything when he goes out to drink and feast.
It seems that there are rare people in the second room, and it is said that they are running a business in Shandong.
So some people who still have room for redemption can only watch the silver turn into water.
Now that my brother has an accident in Jinling, he has to deal with it, and it will take at least two or three years to avoid the limelight outside.
This is in Beijing, if it is a daily livelihood, there is no problem, but the Xue family in Beijing only has some ordinary business, compared to Jinling still has all kinds of contacts, it can be said that except for the uncle and aunt's family, there are no other relatives and acquaintances.
The two cousins of my uncle's family are also said to be unsuccessful.
The eldest cousin has already married, and even accepted five or six concubines, but he plays a role in the theater every day, and it is said that there are three concubines who are all born in the theater troupe, and it is also rumored to be a "good story" in the capital.
And the second cousin is even hanging in the prison of the country, hunting and feasting on the periphery all day long, or going to the building to fight crickets.
My aunt is said to have also intended to go to a few good families to propose marriage, but they were all politely refused, or they were only willing to marry a concubine, which made my aunt very angry, but helpless.
Everyone in this Jingshi City knows the roots, how your son is, everyone knows in their hearts, and you don't know who you can cover.
If you can marry a concubine, it is all because you are watching your temperance make the face of the family, otherwise it will be ordinary, that is, the concubines are not willing to marry you.
Originally, I thought that this Jia family treasure jade was born with a jade, and I was afraid that it was a creative one, but after I came, although I felt that the appearance of this treasure brother was not bad, but I always felt that something was missing.
Especially when her son said this, even Aunt Xue felt that her sister's son was a little difficult to support the family business.
"Brother, don't say such things in front of people, Brother Bao is just young and has not yet been determined, and he will go to the academy in two years."
Baochai is afraid that his brother will be open-mouthed, and he will talk about it at home, if he is heard in Jiafu, he is afraid that he will make the two families suspicious.
"I also know that the academy has to endure hardships, and I think Brother Bao is afraid that it will be difficult to bear it, but Baoyu is indeed handsome, and he is very kind, I talk to him, and he is also very polite,......" As if remembering something, Xue Pan grinned and smiled: "Okay, you will invite me to drink another day." ”
Aunt Xue looked at her son's ignorant appearance, but occasionally she could say something that seemed reasonable, and she also blamed herself in her heart, if she could be strict with her back then, maybe her son would not have become the demon king of the world like he is now.
"By the way, sister, although Xiangling has been following you, she is my person, but now my uncle wants me to be with you, but I don't want to."
Xue Pan suddenly remembered something, "I also know that I am now a lost dog, no one can see it, no one can compare to Baoyu and others, no matter what, I will go to my own life, if something really happens in the future, it will be one person to do things, and it will not affect my mother and sister,......"
These words made Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai's eyes red, and Aunt Xue scolded him even more, not allowing him to say such unlucky words again.
But Xue Pan didn't care, swaggered out of the door, and went happily with Jia Zhen and Jia Rong of Dongfu.
