It is said that Aunt Xue brought a pair of children to the capital to join her sister, Mrs. Wang. She was afraid that Jia's mother would learn that Xue Pan killed the son of a local eunuch in order to snatch Xiangling. Therefore, when the Xue family entered Jia's house, Aunt Xue Baochai
The mother and daughter used the "great defense between men and women" as an excuse, saying that women should be on the inside and men on the outside, with clear distinctions, so they deliberately acted separately from Xue Pan.
Aunt Xue Baochai and her daughter were brought in by Mrs. Wang with her daughter-in-law, daughter, etc., and they were introduced to see Jia Mu. Xue Pan, on the other hand, first went to see Jia Zheng, and then was led to see Jia She by Jia Lian.
Jia Zhen and other relatives.
Later, they even used the excuse of "men and women did not eat together for seven years" to prevent Xue Pan from entering the inner house, lest Xue Pan accidentally let it slip and told Jia's mother about the matter that caused a life-threatening lawsuit.
Ruined the painstaking plan of "Golden Marriage".
In fact, Jia Mu has always been easy-going to her relatives' children. In Jia Mu's words, "as long as it is good to be polite when meeting outsiders", when the others are her own people, you can also be more relaxed about many small things, so no matter
Jia Lian, Baoyu, Jia Huan, their own children, or Qin Zhong and others outside, have never avoided seeing each other in the inner house.
Seeing that Aunt Xue insisted on this, Jia Mu could not insist on it, so she had never met Xue Pan. Especially since Mrs. Wang was always around to protect the Xue family, so Jia Mu had no idea what kind of person Xue Pan was. p>
When Baochai mentioned it, Jia Mu asked:
"What does your brother usually do?"
Baochai pursed her lips and smiled, and replied:
"My brother is restless.
After he called to Beijing, he heard that we had a school here, so he immediately prepared a bunch of gifts to pay homage to the school master, and went to the school to study every day.
In addition to studying, my brother also has to take care of several of my family's businesses in Kyoto, and he is very worried about it every day.
In the first few years after my father passed away, the dealers, managers, clerks, etc. in the trading shop took advantage of the opportunity to swindle me. Fortunately, my brother was able to support me and support me, so that the family business did not wither.
In addition, my family still has many relatives and old friends in Beijing, and my brother has to maintain all the contacts one by one.
What's more, my mother is not in good health, and I am just a girl. I have to rely on my brother to take care of many things at home. But he is also a very filial, caring and attentive person. He is indispensable in the family.
What?"
.
Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng looked at each other and both felt that they should kneel down and kowtow to the "face god".
If you meet someone who doesn't know what kind of virtue Xue Pan is, just listening to Xue Baochai's introduction, you will think that Xue Pan is a "three more" young man who is very motivated, capable and sensible.<
/p>
But the problem is, this is in front of Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, who know the truth. They can describe a murderer to such an incredible level. It turns out that Miss Xue is really not blushing when she lies with her eyes open. p>
.
Jia Mu didn't know the inside story, so she just nodded after hearing this:
"Okay, okay, your mother is really good at raising her children. Even though your brother lost his father when he was young and is a solitary child, he doesn't dote on him at all. This is how you should raise a son of a noble family."<
/p>
Then he said to Baoyu:
"Look at Pan'er. At only this age, he can support the family business, and he still doesn't forget to go to school. But he's more decent than Qin Zhong. As soon as he went to school, he followed those people who didn't make progress and learned bad things. It was all in vain.
Pamper him."
.
Baoyu originally planned to go back to his room after having dinner at Jia Mu's place. Recently, Mingyan secretly brought him a book of Spring Attack Paintings. He often took Xiren to study it carefully together and stayed up late to practice.
But when he saw that Daiyu was with Jia Mu today, Baoyu couldn't move anymore and only talked to Daiyu after dinner.
Daiyu ignored Daiyu, but Baoyu lost interest. He was about to excuse himself and go back to the house to find the attacker. But Baochai happened to come again, and he couldn't move again.
He looked at Baochai with a face like a silver basin, eyes like apricots, and a smile like a flower. Her words and deeds were all charming and elegant, and he was stunned again without realizing it.
Unexpectedly, when Jia Mu was talking to Baochai, she suddenly mentioned Baoyu and then mentioned Qin Zhong. Baoyu felt blocked and immediately felt uncomfortable.
Because it’s fine if you don’t mention others, but when it comes to Qin Zhong, Baoyu cannot help but dislike Xue Pan.
It is said that Baoyu relied on Jia Mu's doting, and except for following Qin Zhong to study at home for several months, Baoyu never went to school.
But even during those few months when I went to study at home, I had a "jealous" conflict with Xue Pan.
.
Xue Pan was five years older than Baoyu, so he went to Jia's home to study because there were some young boys there who were beautiful and romantic, and were easy to trick.
So in the name of making friends with his brothers, he gave more money, food and clothing to these charming and romantic young men, and within a few days he got them.
For example, Jia Huang's nephew Jin Rong, Xue Pan gave him thirty to fifty taels of silver a year, and he regarded himself as Xue Pan's person.
However, what Xue Pan loved more was the two students nicknamed "Xiang Lian" and "Yu Ai". Not only did they do anything in school, they were also invited by Xue Pan to his home for a drink today and a flower viewing tomorrow.
Because people relied on Xue Pan to give them money, they were proud of themselves in school. Jin Rong saw it and could only envy him.
I don't want to mention that Baoyu and Qin Zhong came to school. They both looked like flowers. Qin Zhong was shy and gentle, blushing before he spoke, timid and shy, and had the style of a daughter; Baoyu was born with a habit of doing things.
He was humble, humble, considerate, and spoke affectionately. The two of them held hands every day and were so close that their classmates in school felt jealous and had many discussions behind their backs.
Others were just talking, but Xue Pan saw it and became interested.
He fell in love with Qin Zhong and felt that Baoyu was an eyesore among them, so he became jealous. Especially later, when Jin Rong instigated him, Xue Pan actually stepped forward to tease Qin Zhong.
But Xue Pan was pampered and pampered by Aunt Xue since he was a child, so how could Baoyu be pampered and pampered by Jia Mu?
Even though Xue Pan is powerful in his family school because of his wealth, this school still belongs to the Jia family. Baoyu is the phoenix egg of the Jia family. Who dares to make him suffer?
In the end, Xue Pan was a "strong dragon but not a local snake", so he had to bow his head to Baoyu, and Qin Zhong even apologized.
Because of this incident, Qin Zhong cried to Baoyu for two days and refused to go to school. Baoyu was afraid that if he didn't go to school, he would no longer be able to rub shoulders with Qin Zhong, so he hugged Qin Zhong and coaxed him again and again.
.
Although later, when Qin Zhong was dying, he unfortunately also fell into the category of "national traitors" and "rich ghosts", but when he thought of Qin Zhong's beautiful features, pink face and red lips, handsome figure, and elegant manners, Baoyu could not help but feel sorry for him. p>
At this time, Baoyu was very unhappy when he heard that Jia Mu praised Xue Pan and belittled Qin Zhong, but he could not refute Jia Mu, so he just pouted and said nothing.
Jia Mu only said that Baoyu felt sleepy after eating enough, so she smiled and said:
"Now that you are older, don't go back to sleep after eating. You are weak inside."
Baochai immediately answered:
"What the old lady said is that Brother Bao should also go to school and study with my brother."
Jia Lian thought to himself: Isn’t this idiot Xue unable to sell it? How come Xue Baochai caught and recommended whom?
So he chuckled:
"The old lady doesn't know something. If Brother Bao doesn't go to school, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Although he can't express himself, at least he won't be a bad student."
