It's a coincidence that these two relatives are new to Rong Mansion.
They are all from Dafang's side.
In other words, it is all related to Jia Lian.
After hearing his complaint, Feng Yibo followed the words and asked:
"What happened to the Xing family? Could it be that they are asking you for money too?"
Jia Lian sighed, but did not answer in a hurry.
Instead, he filled up the wine silently.
Then it was filled with Feng Yibo.
The two brothers Xue Pan and Xue Ban also raised their glasses.
After the four of them had a drink together, Jia Lian seemed still hesitant.
Before he could speak, Xue Pan couldn't help but speak first:
"A while ago, my mother said that the eldest girl of the Xing family..."
Just as he said this, Xue Biao suddenly interrupted and said:
"Brother, let Brother Lian do the talking."
"oh."
Xue Pan was not angry when his brother interrupted him.
He just gave Xue Biao a strange look.
"Oh! It doesn't matter."
Jia Lian thought Xue Biao was covering him up, so he immediately waved his hand.
He sighed again and then said:
"Oh! I didn't expect it to spread all over the backyard, and my concubine actually knew about it, but it's nothing shameful, just don't spread it outside."
Jia Lian first warned.
Seeing everyone nodding, he started to talk about the reason for this.
"This family does need money, but they can't find it on me. They are here to invest in the eldest wife, and they also want the Xing family's belongings, which are none of my business."
Xue Pan was stunned and said in surprise:
"They also come to ask for dowry?"
Xue Biao remained calm, but also pricked up his ears.
Obviously, he was very concerned about this matter.
Unexpectedly, Jia Lian shook his head when he heard this and said:
"It's not a dowry, it's the property of the Xing family. Before the eldest wife got married, all the elders of the Xing family passed away. The uncle of the Xing family was a concubine, so he divided some of the house and property, went out to start his own business, and went to another place."
Feng Yibo was a little confused and said:
"Since we have separated and lived separately, why are we still asking for money now?"
In fact, there is a hidden sentence in this sentence.
That is, even if you want money, you can't get it from Mrs. Xing.
"The other uncles of the Xing family were still young at the time, and the eldest wife, as the eldest sister, took charge of the family. The property is still managed by his roommate Wang Shanbao."
This is actually not a secret.
Not to mention Jia Lian, even many of the servants of the Jia family knew about it.
Because Mrs. Xing's biological brother Xing Dequan would cause trouble from time to time.
He wanted to get back all the property from Mrs. Xing, instead of just giving her some scattered expenses.
But it was this Xing Dequan who put Mrs. Xing in the most difficult position.
He doesn't do his job, and enjoys eating, drinking, gambling, and sleeping among flowers and willows every day.
There is no restraint in using money in your hands.
Mrs. Xing wanted to take care of it, but she couldn't.
Therefore, economic sanctions can only be imposed on him.
She didn't want the Xing family's property to be squandered like this, leaving only some scattered money to spend.
But Xing Dequan couldn't understand Mrs. Xing's kindness.
He often hangs out with a group of unscrupulous children from the Jia family, and makes random noises when he is drunk.
He complained everywhere that Mrs. Xing was stingy and harsh to him.
Everyone in the Jia family was watching the excitement, so naturally everyone knew about it.
Xue Pan was also a little enlightened at this time, and he had heard about this at a glance.
Apparently he had hung out with Xing Dequan before.
"The uncle and aunt who are here now are also very bad drinkers. After they were separated, they have never had a serious livelihood, and they only live on the meager income."
Xing Zhong is stronger than Xing Dequan, but he is still limited.
Xue Pan frowned when he heard this.
Then it quickly stretched out, revealing an expression that was nothing more than that.
Affection.
It seems that this matter is nothing.
Xue Biao was concentrating, but there was no special reaction.
On the contrary, Feng Yibo sipped his wine glass and listened leisurely.
It looked like he was using this matter to drink.
"If they were more frugal, it would be enough, but the couple spent all day doing nothing. After only a year or two, they even sold the house and the land. They finally had money."
If you sell your house and land, you will naturally make money.
But in this era, selling one's ancestral property is a sign of ruin.
Obviously, in order to maintain his life, Xing Zhong didn't care much.
"I heard that after they sold their house, they learned to be frugal to a certain extent. They rented a cheap house in Panxiang Temple on the outskirts of Suzhou and lived there for ten years."
Panxiang Temple is the Lin family’s family temple.
The place where Aunt Lin and Miaoyu practiced before.
When Feng Yibo heard this, he felt slightly stunned.
He heard Aunt Lin and Miaoyu mention this matter.
But I didn't expect it to be Uncle Xing's family.
So they can rent a house cheaply, except that Aunt Lin wants people of the same age to keep Miaoyu company.
There must be relatives involved.
"It's a pity that no matter how frugal you are, it's all in vain. You only get out but don't get in. In the end, you end up in vain. Alas!"
Jia Lian thought of his own family and sighed immediately.
As he said this, he raised his glass and gestured.
After everyone had a drink together, he continued:
"Seeing that it was no longer sustainable, he wanted to come to Duzhong again and find the eldest wife, the eldest sister in charge of the Xing family's property, to come and enjoy the autumn breeze. He wanted her to share more profits from the Xing family's property and buy land for them."
The Xing family can marry the Jia family, so naturally they are also from a long-standing family.
What's more, Jia She's hereditary title of first-class general, even if it is renewed, will not be a small family.
After all, when you marry, you will have a good life.
Of course, compared with the Jia family, the Xing family is definitely far behind.
Moreover, the elders of the Xing family are no longer in charge of personnel, and the situation has plummeted even further.
But the truth is, a skinny Luo is bigger than a horse.
For ordinary people, the Xing family's wealth is absolutely astronomical.
Even if they were given to the bastard Xing Zhong, it would be enough for them to squander it for a while.
After selling the house, he continued to eat and drink for more than ten years.
Now Mrs. Xing is in charge of the Xing family's property and is appointed by the Rong family.
In Xing Zhong's opinion, as long as the eldest sister leaks a little bit from her fingers.
It’s enough to feed their family for a lifetime!
Xue Pan smacked his lips and poured the wine.
It seems that there is still more to it.
Xue Tao looked thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something.
"The eldest wife and her biological siblings are not married yet, so naturally they won't agree to it, but they are also relatives after all, so they won't throw her away."
Mrs. Xing is no longer a human being either inside or outside.
The younger brother didn't complain, but the eldest brother also came to bother him.
It doesn't make sense for her to be a helper or not, and it doesn't make sense for her not to help her.
So I can only drag it like this.
"Their family failed to achieve their goal, and they lived in the mansion again. They would hang around the eldest lady from time to time, and tried various ways to deduct two coins from her hand."
Xing Zhong has no choice but to stay here.
Otherwise, I won’t be able to survive.
But Mrs. Xing obviously wouldn't give him another share of the family property for free.
Not to mention whether she is willing or not, if Xing Zhong is separated again.
Xing Dequan knew that he would fall out even more.
After all, he is the true heir of the Xing family.
"The eldest lady had no choice but to put them outside. Only the cousin of the Xing family was liked by the old lady, so the eldest lady kept her and lived in the garden with her second sister."
Although Mrs. Xing doesn't like her brother, she has a good impression of her niece.
In addition, I knew that Jia Mu liked good-looking girls, so I took her to meet her.
Jia Mu really liked it and kept her in the house with Yingchun.
They moved into Zilingzhou together.
He also gave Miss Jia a monthly amount of money according to her share.
But most of the money was taken by Xing Zhong and his wife.
Although it is a drop in the bucket, it is still an improvement.
It was just a hardship for Xing Xiuyan, who gave all his money to his parents.
I can't even afford to reward my servants.
In a place like Rongfu, it's inevitable to get some looks.
Fortunately, she was quiet and didn't care about this.
Wearing only a hairpin skirt and cloth, she lived a rare and peaceful life in the Grand View Garden.
Originally, these were not in Jia Lian's eyes, but recently Mrs. Xing had other thoughts.
"If it's just that, forget it. After all, it's their Xing family's business, but the eldest lady has her mind on me, which is embarrassing."
Jia Lian finally got back to the topic, but Feng Yibo was a little confused.
"What's the meaning?"
When Jia Lian heard this, he said angrily:
"The eldest lady has told the eldest man that she wants her niece to fill the house for me."
When Xue Pan heard this, he suddenly looked surprised.
At the same time, he looked at his cousin beside him.
Just as Xue Biao finished pouring the wine, he suddenly paused.
Then he didn't show any respect to anyone else, he just picked it up and drank it in one gulp.
When Feng Yibo heard this, he was a little puzzled and said:
"Isn't this a good thing?"
Xue Pan obviously wanted to speak, but was kicked by Xue Pan next to him.
At this time, Jia Lian shook his head and said:
"How can we talk about these things before the national mourning is over?"
This sounds like an excuse, and no one here believes it.
Even Xue Pan showed contempt.
Before the national mourning is over, a noble family cannot marry a wife.
But if you are not polite, there is no harm in just settling the matter in private first.
But Wang Xifeng's "death" made Jia Liangang feel the value of freedom.
How many days has it been quiet?
Jia Lian, who has not had enough fun, naturally does not want to get into a marriage again.
Live a life of restraint.
As for his marriage, the initiative lies in the hands of his parents.
His father, Jia She, was fine.
He indulges in love, wine and sex every day, and has no time to pay attention to him.
It's just that I don't seem to have enough money recently, and I occasionally lose my temper for nothing.
Jia Lian has some income, so he can spend it by giving him some money.
But on Mrs. Xing's side, Xing Zhong came with his wife and daughter.
She actually wanted to imitate Mrs. Wang and support her niece.
Let my niece marry into the house and help her.
After all, Jia Lian is also the legitimate son of the eldest family, and he will not be able to lose his title in the future.
It's just that Jia She dislikes Uncle Xing's poverty, and the national mourning has not yet ended.
He put off the matter for the time being and did not let go.
"Of course, I don't want to delay her."
Jia Lian looked so sanctimonious that Feng Yibo couldn't stand it.
At that moment, one word expressed what he was thinking.
"It turns out that Brother Lian doesn't like it."
Although in this era, it is the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers.
But everyone wants to find someone they like.
Jia Lian is no exception.
Seeing Feng Yibo reveal his thoughts, he explained with some embarrassment:
"My cousin is good in every aspect, she is very pretty, and she has read some books, but..."
Jia Lian has met this cousin of the Xing family.
Although her family was poor and humble, she was extremely well-off.
Even the hairpin skirt cloth cannot conceal its beauty.
However, there was a hint of renunciation between the brows.
This is what makes Jia Lian unhappy.
"It's just that she's a little cold, and she's not on the same page as me."
What he likes is to know something about romance.
At least you have to be able to follow his wishes.
You can tell at a glance that this cousin is boring.
Maybe not even as good as Wang Xifeng, who might even have a hard time turning over.
Jia Lian did not want to marry a Bodhisattva and worship him at home.
Feng Yibo could see his mood to some extent, and smiled immediately:
"In that case, why don't you find someone you like first and then accept him and support him."
He felt that Jia Lian wanted to find an obedient person, not someone's arm.
Mrs. Wang's niece had made him suffer a lot before.
Now this Xing Xiuyan is Mrs. Xing's niece again.
How could he be unprepared?
The two brothers Xue Pan and Xue Biao nodded when they heard this.
Xue Biao even echoed:
"That's it. As the second brother Lian, what do you want?"
Xue Pan, on the other hand, looked at him with a strange expression and said nothing.
"I haven't met the right one yet, and I can't decide on my own marriage."
At this point, Jia Lian couldn't help but sigh.
It would be fine if it were someone else, but he is the heir to the big house in Rong Mansion.
Just trying to straighten up a concubine will only make people laugh.
If Ping'er was still there, Jia Lian would still be reluctant to correct him.
After all, Ping'er was the roommate of the Wang family, so he could barely maintain the previous relationship.
In fact, it wasn't just these two relatives that troubled him.
The main reason is that sooner or later he will have to renew his string.
Because not only Mrs. Xing, but also the little girl in the house had her thoughts on his head.
Xiren, the eldest girl in Baoyu's room, had already looked for him privately.
He said that as long as he nodded, he would find a way to redeem himself.
Then she was taken back by him to be a good concubine.
This Xiren's wishful thinking was good, and he obviously came for the opportunity to correct himself.
For the sake of peace in the back house, Jia Lian would naturally not provoke such a scheming person.
What's more, Baoyu, the younger brother, is the treasure of the elders in the house.
He didn't want to cause such trouble.
With his status, it is impossible to straighten a maid.
Not even if it's a good act.
In fact, Jia Lian wanted to have more concubines.
It's just that while he is enjoying the romance outside, he can still steal the show at home.
It was a very pleasant time.
He hasn't even taken a concubine yet, and he doesn't want more than one person to look after her.
How can he let others put their hands into his house again?
To him, many men are worse than many girls.
When it comes to taking concubines, he most wants to take in this many girls.
At least it was enough to relieve his loneliness.
Speaking of this Duo girl, she is the same as the one from Bao's family.
She is a married woman.
The husband's name is Duoguan, which is similar to Bao Er.
Helping cook in the backyard of Rongfu.
It's just that he is a coward and a very useless drunkard.
Everyone called him "Many Bugs".
Many girls were married to him by his parents when he was young, and they are only in their twenties this year.
Because he was born with some talents, everyone who saw him would envy him.
I don't know if it's because he's frivolous by nature, or because he's just too stupid.
In short, this girl likes to flirt with women the most.
They are stupid and have no theory. They just have wine, meat and money, so they don't care about anything else.
Therefore, people from Rong and Ning mansions can easily get started.
Jia Lian's is the best. Hearing the name, he naturally wants to try it.
Unexpectedly, after spending only one ingot of silver, I got unexpected gains.
This girl has a natural curiosity.
Once a man touches you, your muscles and bones will feel paralyzed.
It makes a man feel like he is lying on a bed of cotton.
More importantly, it is also a form of idle talk.
Even a prostitute.
This made Jia Lian unforgettable after trying it.
That taste, tsk tsk tsk!
This is called fun!
This is called a woman!
If not for his reputation, he would have considered accepting her.
As for a lady like Xing Xiuyan, she is also Mrs. Xing's niece.
He could fully imagine the boredom of married life.
You can see the future Qingdan at a glance!
If they had not known that Feng Yibo and Xue Biao were both serious people, they would not have said this.
He really wanted to share in the fun.
Seeing Jia Lian not knowing what to think of, he had a wild smile on his face.
Feng Yibo raised his wine glass and said:
"Come on, come on, there's nothing to worry about. I'm drunk today, and we'll decide who to marry tomorrow!"
Xue Pan reacted at this time and responded immediately:
"But woman, is it worth worrying about like this? Come on, come on!"
Xue Biao glared at Xue Pan before raising his glass.
Jia Lian also swept away his previous annoyance, raised his glass and said in agreement:
"Stop talking about this, I'm going to bid farewell to the two brothers today. It should be more lively, but it's just limited to etiquette and I can't have all the fun. Let's get it back over the wine!"
A few people were chatting animatedly when someone came over to report:
"Masters, my concubines and concubines have said goodbye to the old lady, eldest lady, madam and others. Now they have returned to Lixiangyuan. They sent me to ask if they can set off."
Feng Yibo stood up after hearing this, and the Xue brothers also stood up when they saw this.
"Let's go, Brother Lian, let's go to my house to continue!"
