Shenjing, Xue Mansion.
Xue Bian just brought his mother to the capital for medical treatment from afar and heard the news of Xue Pan's death. As a male member of the Xue family, he had a loyal nature. Since he encountered such a thing, he had to go and help. He tried his best to help Aunt Xue with various affairs.
Just after returning, Xue Biao met Jia Zheng, Jia Baoyu and others who came to express their condolences on the road. He raised his head and smiled, jumped, walked over with a hurried smile and said, "Master Zheng, Second Master Bao, but I never thought that it would happen." I met you here."
"Oh? So it's you. What? Are you back from other places?" Jia Zheng also knew that Xue Biao went back to take his mother to the capital to see a doctor, so he smiled slightly: "How is your mother? Now you can Is everything okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Xue Biao smiled quickly.
Immediately, he saw Jia Yun standing at the door with her hands folded and looking at the people outside with a smile: "It turns out it's Second Grandpa and Baoyu, you guys are here. Hurry, come inside and invite me."
Everyone exchanged some simple gossip, and then saw Jia Yun coming out to greet her in person. They did not dare to be too big, so they walked over with a smile, walked up to Jia Yun, and said with a smile: "You have worked hard these days! I have just come back, and I have to deal with such a disaster. It is a great misfortune, but I am very lucky. It will be better after a while."
Jia Yun smiled calmly: "Let's not mention this matter. Let's go in and have a drink. We will take good care of everything."
After that, Jia Yun invited everyone in again and went inside to express condolences and rest first.
When Xue Biao saw Jia Yun, although he was anxious to treat his mother, he was also a discerning person. Seeing that it was not convenient to mention the matter of treating his mother at this time, he endured it for the time being and planned to go back to see her later. Jia Yun discussed this matter.
Jia Yun was at the door, greeting and receiving those who came to express their condolences.
Since Jia Yun was now a highly respected minister, the court officials and wealthy businessmen from all over the country who came to seek friendship took advantage of the God-given opportunity of Jia Yun's funeral for Xue Pan and came to visit with gifts.
In particular, Jia Yun's former friends also came to visit one after another.
Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian walked together on the street, also discussing matters about the Xue family.
Feng Ziying shook her head: "I thought that Xue Pan was ineffective before, but now it seems that he has really caused a big problem. He simply didn't involve anyone else, otherwise he would definitely be dead."
"Oh, who says it's not the case? I had some grievances with him before, but now I have to pay the debt to death, so I won't even mention it!" Liu Xianglian couldn't help but recall the scene when she met Xue Pan and teased her. Now when I look back at the past, I can't help but feel a lot of emotion.
Feng Ziying had naturally heard about this matter, and knew that it was not a very honorable matter. It was inconvenient for the brothers to mention such disappointing words, so they kept silent and did not mention any more gossip.
Both of them are surrounded by three or five powerful domestic servants, who are either carrying things, pushing bullock carts filled with gifts, or driving people around, purely acting as bodyguards, surrounding them. He looked so majestic next to the two of them.
Jia Yun looked at the people coming from a distance and smiled calmly: "Second brother, third brother, it's fine that you are here today. Why is it so grand?"
Seeing Jia Yun coming over, Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian also went forward to salute Jia Yun: "Brother, I heard that my brother-in-law passed away, and now we two brothers have come here to express our condolences."
As he was talking, sedan chairs from Rongguo Mansion and Yun Mansion were passing by one after another. They were all ladies from each family. They always came over when encountering such things.
Li Wan is also here today.
Sitting in the sedan chair, she couldn't help but lift the curtain and look at the scenery outside. Suddenly she saw Jia Yun, and she couldn't help but was startled: "Brother Yun is really a very capable person. He has only been here for a few years." What a scene! When you reach the point where one person is inferior to ten thousand people, you really are a man."
Li Wan did not come from a small family. She was the daughter of a famous eunuch in Jinling. Her father, Li Shouzhong, once served as a wine sacrificer to the Imperial College. She was truly from a scholarly family like Lin Daiyu.
It’s just that Lin Daiyu comes from a scholarly family, and Li
Wan's family is very different. Although they are both from scholarly families, they cannot be treated equally.
It had only been a few years now, and Li Wan didn't feel anything in his heart, but Jia Yun beside him had already reached the position of prime minister. As prime minister, the lintel was so high that it was not unceremonious.
What's more, Concubine Yuan is still a noble concubine in the palace, and the Jia family is so prosperous and prosperous.
However, this is not closely related to Li Wan.
One theory is that Li Wan's husband died too early, and she was widowed at a young age, but she was younger than ordinary people.
When Li Wan was widowed, he was not much older than Xue Baochai now.
Because the ancients got married earlier and got married earlier, Li Wan was still young and in the stage of a twenty-eight-year-old woman. She was not an old woman, so she was naturally unwilling to be lonely in her heart. It was only moral etiquette that allowed Li Wan to abide by chastity and obey Etiquette, law and morality, she is just willing to be such a chaste woman.
Before his death, Jia Zhu also left an heir with Li Wan, Jia Lan.
When Li Wan saw that Jia Yun had reached the sky and became a towering tree, he thought that Jia Lan would follow Jia Yun and learn more, so that he could be promoted in the future, stand out, and become a man.
He would not be as absurd as Jia Baoyu, who would never have a future in his life.
Li Wan is not stupid, on the contrary, she is an extremely smart woman.
When Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai and others lived in the Grand View Garden, they often interacted closely with everyone, took the lead in establishing a youth poetry club for girls, and made the entire poetry club prosperous and developed, and managed the Grand View Garden into a pure land for young daughters. paradise. .net
This is the result of Li Wan's deliberate management and hard work. If not for this, I am afraid that Li Wan would also have a headache now. How can he help his son Jia Lan to jump out when the building is about to collapse? Gain greater prospects and future.
Ningguo Mansion is gone, and Rongguo Mansion is also declining, declining day by day, just like the setting sun, it will no longer be as blazing as the noon sun.
While Li Wan was thinking about how to further win over Lin Daiyu and others in the future and pave the way for his son Jia Lan, the sedan chairs of Rongguo Mansion also landed one after another.
"Grandma Zhu, Xue Mansion is here!"
The maid next to me hurriedly came forward to greet him.
"Yeah!" Li Wan nodded, responded, got off the sedan, and went outside.
In the courtyard at this moment, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Li Wan, Jia Tanchun and others all came over.
