24. Pain and Happiness

Aunt Xue also came back to her senses from the joy of Shicai, and hurriedly asked: "What your aunt said is very true, a few of us got the news and waited at home, but I never thought that you were stopped outside again, and Lian'er was not at home, and it was not good to alarm your uncle, and your uncle was also in the yamen, so I thought about it, so I had to ask someone to ask your second uncle, but I didn't expect the second uncle to say that you don't need to pay attention to it, a few of us are suspicious," Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang glanced at each other, "It's not good to do anything, so you can only wait at home." ”

"It's nothing important," Xue Pan said with a smile, "It's just that someone has been picked up to come and embarrass me." ”

"You're hitting someone again, aren't you?" Aunt Xue said quickly, "Everywhere you go, you can't go without the temper of this overlord!" ”

Xue Pan smiled in his heart, your son is now very capable, and beating people is nothing at all, "It's nothing," his mouth was still very modest, "What is the wife talking about, the wife is peaceful, she didn't beat people, it's just a little misunderstanding, it's okay, it's okay, isn't this the wife going home peacefully?" ”

Mrs. Wang saw that Xue Pan had indeed returned safe and sound, and nodded, "Since you are back, let's rest for a few days, Brother Feng has already prepared a banquet over there, saying when I want to invite you." I'll go back," Mrs. Wang said to Aunt Xue, "and the old lady is still waiting for me to reply." ”

Mrs. Wang went by herself, and Aunt Xue thought about leaving everyone to eat, "A few of you have been here for a while, and I bother you to wait for your big brother Xue, you are not allowed to leave for lunch today, the old lady, let your wife reply, and say that your aunt will keep you to eat." ”

Aunt Xue then went to check Xue Pan's luggage and belongings, and then instructed the kitchen to prepare lunch, she knew that the young people could not interject when they spoke, and besides, there were elders, but I was afraid that these teenagers were not comfortable talking, so they deliberately avoided going out, and told Baochai to entertain a few of them, Baochai was busy, and said with a smile: "A few of them come from time to time, Mom is still afraid that they will not be polite?" I've been in charge of this place for a long time. ”

"That's the way it is," Aunt Xue said with a smile, "I wish you were all in charge of this." ”

Aunt Xue said a few words, and then went out, leaving the house here to these young people, a few people had no time to ask about Xue Pan's recent situation, but Xue Pan first asked everyone how these days are good, everyone said yes, Baoyu chattered that he was going to prepare to go out to study, the place to read is from the family, and the younger brother of Brother Rong's daughter-in-law of Dongfu is called Qin Keqing to study together, if Xue Pan is free, you can also go to study together, Xue Pan is sweating profusely, he is afraid when he hears the word reading now, Studying in Xian'an Palace has caused countless things, and it is forbidden to study again, Xue Pan laughed dryly, "Just study, when you see and know there." ”

Xiangling took a plate of tangerines and asked Xue Pan to use, Xue Pan asked everyone to eat, except for Baoyu, the rest of the people's lives are lackluster, after all, they are all girls' families, there is no Baoyu so that it can be a little more convenient to go out, at home is nothing more than to read and write, embroidery and see flowers, feed birds and watch fish, saying leisurely, in fact, it is still very boring, but these girls can at least get some pleasure in the sea of books, "My sisters read thousands of books at home, I am traveling thousands of miles outside, these two things are fun," Xue Pan smiled, "Calm and relaxed, it's really a fairy-like day." ”

Baoyu coughed when she heard this, and looked at Xue Pan with her eyes, Xue Pan knew what he meant, and turned her head to look at Daiyu, "Sister, you have been miserable these days. ”

The word "bitter" really touched Daiyu's heart, Xue Pan traveled thousands of miles, why didn't she travel thousands of miles? Not long after Xue Pan left Beijing, the family suddenly changed greatly, and followed Jia Lian to Yangzhou in a panic, the original handsome father was already like a tree, dying, father and daughter looked at each other and cried, not long after the father died, this panicked and hurriedly returned to the capital, thinking sadly, what books can you read, what scenery to see? Thinking of this, Daiyu couldn't help but tears in her eyes again, and she flooded the Seventh Army at once.

Baoyu was busy complaining that Xue Pan shouldn't say this, Baochai went over and hugged Daiyu, "Lin girl, you're crying again, what did I tell you a few days ago?" You should be in charge of the house here, never be so sad, it will not be good to hurt your body in vain, if you are so sad, it will be difficult for my aunt to rest in peace in the spirit of heaven. ”

Yingchun was also busy patting Daiyu's shoulder, bending down and whispering to comfort her, Daiyu was a little better, and she heard Baoyu complaining about Xue Pan, "I'm crying about my own business, Baoyu, what are you doing scolding Brother Pan?" It's really quite a move to scold Huai! Could it be that you are secretly scolding me? ”

Baoyu hurriedly said: "If I have the intention of scolding my sister, I will not die well!" ”

Tanchun hurriedly stopped, "I said these cursed swear words again, fortunately my wife is not here at this time, if I hear it, I'm afraid I will be angry again, hurry up and don't talk about this, Brother Xue is back, second brother, you should also tell him, our family is a happy event." ”

"That's it," Xue Pan also wanted to distract Daiyu's attention, so he hurriedly asked Baoyu, "I heard that the eldest sister has to be named a virtuous concubine, I actually only found out after entering Beijing, it is really a sin, such a happy event to know, it really shouldn't be, Brother Bao hurriedly said, when did the news come out?" ”

Baoyu told everything he knew, he was quite demented, he didn't know a lot of things here, or Tanchun paid attention, and Baochai also knew a lot, so he added up to explain things clearly.

Jia Yuanchun has not been favored after entering the palace, at first she was only a female official, but she read a lot when she was young, and she had poetry and books in her belly, and she was originally very beautiful and fragrant, and was occasionally favored by Emperor Yonghe, first he was enshrined as a permanent being, and there were countless beauties in the palace, even if Emperor Yonghe was the emperor at the beginning, there was no authority, but there will never be less beauties in the world, and occasionally the favor will be left behind, I don't know what happened this year, suddenly very favored, first carried into the position of a nobleman, and then named a virtuous concubine, There are a number of concubines in the six palaces, the Dayue concubine system, one queen, one noble concubine, one virtuous concubine and one concubine, and there is no virtuous concubine position.
