Chapter 136 Xiangling, the first of the supplementary book
This time the Xue family brought a lot of favors and souvenirs with them to Beijing.
Immediately, Aunt Xue dedicated these favors and gifts to Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others, and even Jia Yun got a share.
Although Jia's mother once again felt that Jia Yun was a little displeased, she still kept Jia Yun to eat the wedding banquet given to the Xue family by the Rongguo Mansion.
According to custom, men and women have separate banquets, and the men are all in the south hall.
In fact, there are not many men. Jia She and Jia Zhen are not willing to come. Jia Lian and Jia Rong are still staying in Chang'an camp. So at this banquet, there are only a few men on the male side: Jia Zheng, Jia Yun and Jia Baoyu.
In order to gather the number of people, Jia Zheng also called Zhan Guang and other Qing guests.
Xue Pan was not interested in these Qingke students who were studying, nor was he interested in Jia Zheng. He was very interested in Jia Yun, not only because Jia Yun was very kind to him, but also because he admired Jia Yun.
He has strong force value and admires Jia Yun's status as a first-class bodyguard.
At this banquet, Xue Pan took the initiative to sit next to Jia Yun, and shamelessly struck up a conversation with Jia Yun. Instead, he did not chat much with Jia Zheng, and at the same time, it hindered the chat between Jia Zheng and Jia Yun.
Jia Zheng was depressed, and Jia Baoyu was not interested in eating, so he broke up the banquet after a short meal.
On the contrary, the female relatives gathered in Jia Mu's courtyard had a longer feast this time.
…
…
Aunt Xue originally planned to live in Rongguo Mansion.
Today, after Aunt Xue came to Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, and Mrs. Wang all took the initiative to let her stay, and Aunt Xue thanked her for her permission.
However, Aunt Xue told Mrs. Wang that although the Xue family lived in Rongguo Mansion, Rongguo Mansion should not provide them with daily allowance, otherwise they would be embarrassed to live in Rongguo Mansion for a long time. Mrs. Wang knew that the Xue family was rich, so she followed Xue
Aunt means.
In this way, the Xue family moved into Lixiangyuan in the northeast corner of Rongguo Mansion.
Lixiangyuan was once the place where Jia Yuan, the first generation of Rongguo Gong, retired in his later years. It is small and small, with about ten houses, complete with front hall and back room, and a door leading to the back street, which is convenient for Xue Pan and other men to enter and exit.
That night, Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai, Xiang Ling, Ying'er, Xue Pan and other Xue family members came to Lixiangyuan after having a reception banquet at Rongguo Mansion.
Aunt Xue deliberately asked Xiang Ling to avoid it, and then told Xue Pan that Jia Yun wanted Xiang Ling.
Xue Pan was confused when he heard this: "Mom, although I like Brother Yun very much, Xiangling is a rare thing for me. What should I do if I give it to Brother Yun?"
Aunt Xue said: "I know you like Xiangling very much, but today my mother said in front of the old lady and others that she wanted to thank Brother Yun deeply. It was me who took the initiative to say whatever Brother Yun wanted, just ask. Brother Yun
I want Xiangling, but if I don’t give it, I will break my promise and I will be embarrassed to see anyone in Rongguo Mansion from now on.”
"Besides, Brother Yun has been very kind to our family. Without him, I, you and your sister would all have suffered. Xiangling would have suffered too. How could there be such a happy life now? Although Xiangling
Okay, but she’s just a maid. Compared to Brother Yun’s great kindness to our family, it’s appropriate to give Xiangling to him.”
"Furthermore, Brother Yun is a man of great ability. Not only is he a champion in martial arts, a first-class bodyguard, and a third-class general, he is also a genius as a merchant. He has made a lot of money. It will be good for our Xue family to be friends with him.
.”
Regarding Jia Yun's affairs with merchants, Xue Pan heard the guests mention it at today's banquet. He also asked about it. He was also surprised at that time, and he admired Jia Yun even more in his heart.
What Aunt Xue said now was not only her own idea, but also Xue Baochai's idea. The mother and daughter had already discussed it in advance, and they would work together to persuade Xue Pan to give up Xiangling.
Another reason why Xue Baochai wanted Xue Pan to give up Xiang Ling was that she felt pity for Xiang Ling. She also knew that her brother was a very useless and stupid overlord, and besides being grateful to Jia Yun, she also had some admiration for her, so she felt
, Xiangling would be better off if she followed Jia Yun, but her life would be miserable if she followed Xue Pan.
At this time, Xue Baochai also tried to persuade her: "Brother, I think the same as my mother. I also think you should give Xiangling to Brother Yun."
Xue Pan: "..."
He loved Xue Baochai very much and knew that Xue Baochai would not interfere in such matters. Unexpectedly, Xue Baochai also asked him to hand over Xiangling.
Xue Pan hesitated.
Aunt Xue continued to persuade: "If I give it to Xiangling, you can go out and buy another good maid to live in. Even if you buy two, my mother won't say anything about you."
Xue Pan continued to hesitate for a while, then nodded: "That's all, that's all, Xiang Ling was given to him."
Not only was he very grateful to Jia Yun, he also admired Jia Yun. He also felt that it would be good for him to make friends with Jia Yun. Now he had Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai to persuade him.
What's more, although he likes Xiangling very much, he only likes it for its appearance. If Xiangling is gone, he will just buy it again.
Moreover, Xiangling has been coming to his house for a year or two, but he can't touch her because Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai both took pity on Xiangling and said that they would wait until Xiangling was older before they would let him be his roommate.
It's too much trouble.
…
…
At noon the next day, Xue Pan called Jia Yun to Lixiangyuan to invite a host.
Although Jia Yun and Xue Baochai have met twice, this kind of host, Aunt Xue, and Xue Baochai will not sit and eat with Jia Yun, but just let Xue Pan accompany Jia Yun.
After eating a meal, Jia Yun heard that Xue Pan was bragging and talking nonsense to him. Fortunately, Xue Pan had agreed to hand over Xiang Ling.
When Jia Yun finished eating, Yu Zhu, a soldier, had already called a carriage from his house. Xiang Ling had also packed her luggage and gifts, and Jia Yun took Xiang Ling away.
After returning to his mansion, Jia Yun drove the carriage directly to the hanging flower gate of the inner courtyard on West Road.
At this time, under Jia Yun's careful observation, Xiang Ling shyly stepped out of the carriage.
Jia Yun sighed in her heart: I didn't expect Xiangling to come so easily!
Not only is Xiangling very beautiful, she is also the first among the Twelve Hairpins of Jinling in the original book. She is also the first Jin Chai to appear, and her fate is also very tragic.
"Second Master." Xiangling walked up to Jia Yun and shouted respectfully and seriously.
Jia Yun said "Yes": "I will take you to see my wife."
Xiangling nodded.
Immediately, Jia Yun took Xiang Ling into the hanging flower door of the inner courtyard.
At this time, Bu Wuniang, Xiren, Zijuan, Qingwen, and Liu Wuer were all staying in the five upper rooms of the inner courtyard.
A rough servant girl from the doorkeeper came in and said respectfully to Bu Wuniang: "Madam, the second master is here."
Bu Wuniang hurriedly asked the maid to call Jia Yun in.
Jia Yun took Xiang Ling into the bright room.
Bu Wuniang, Xiren, Zijuan, Qingwen and Liu Wuer suddenly saw Xiangling walking behind Jia Yun. They were both shocked and surprised. They were stunned by Xiangling's beauty and surprised why Jia Yun suddenly brought a baby with her.
Beauty comes in.
Jia Yun greeted Bu Wuniang respectfully first. Before he could speak, Bu Wuniang looked at Xiangling and asked Jia Yun, "Yun'er, who is this?"
Jia Yun smiled slightly: "I told my mother that Aunt Xue and her family moved into the West Mansion yesterday. This person's name is Xiangling. She was originally Aunt Xue's maid. I have asked her to come here now."
Bu Wuniang, Xiren, Zijuan: "..."
The three of them sighed in their hearts at the same time: He is looking for someone to take the maid home again!
