Chapter 26 Red Mansion 24
“First there was Jia Yucun, then there was Mei Hanlin, they are both ungrateful things”
Liu Hiiragi: “I am also a scholar. Don’t fight just because of those two. turn He's a tough guy."
Jia Yuanchun stuck out his tongue and said, "I said something wrong, please forgive me."
Liu Heng chuckled: "It depends on your performance. .”
After being hit by a red wave overnight, Liu Heng went out to work in high spirits the next day, while Jia Yuanchun didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning.
After leaving the Yamen, Liu Heng did not go home, but went to drink with Jia Hu.
While drinking and chatting, Liu Hiong talked about the Mei family.
Although Jia Hu and the second wife of the Xue family are not directly related, Xue Baoqin can be regarded as Jia Hu's nominal sister after she became her godmother to Mrs. Wang.
There is no way he would let the Mei family bully his sister.
When the time comes, Jia Hu believes the information given by Liu Heng, and he knows how good Ji Qiu is at inquiring about information.
Back at Rongguo Mansion, Jia Hu asked someone to call Xue Biao.
Xue Ban is completely different from Xue Pan. He is a diligent, honest, smart and capable young man.
Jia Hu admired Xue Biao very much, and wanted to take Xue Biao into his account to support this young man.
Xue Biao heard about the Mei family's plan from Jia Hu and was so angry that his face turned red.
Jia Hu said: "You go back and discuss with your mother and your sister how to deal with this marriage. In my opinion, the sooner it is dealt with, the better."
Xue Biao thanked Jia Hu, Returning to Xue's house worried.
Aunt Xue and Mrs. Xue Er were very worried when they saw Xue Biao's appearance, and hurriedly called people over to ask what happened.
Xue Biao felt even more angry when he saw his sister looking at him with worry.
He took a deep breath and told the Mei family's plan.
Aunt Xue and Mrs. Xue Er were extremely angry and called the Mei family white-eyed wolves.
Xue Baoqin's face is pale, but she is the calmest one in the room.
She was even glad that Xue Pan was not at home and did not hear the news. Otherwise, with Xue Pan's bad temper, he would definitely go to Mei's house and make a fuss.
At that time, my own rationality has become irrational.
Xue Biao said: "The eldest cousin of the Jia family asked us to discuss how to deal with this marriage."
Aunt Xue said: "How else to deal with it? Before the Mei family leaves Beijing, hurry up and ask them to fulfill their engagement and marry Qin."
Mrs. Xue Er nodded and agreed with Aunt Xue's opinion.
Xue Baoqin and Xue Biao both frowned when they heard this.
Xue Biao said: "If my sister marries into the Mei family like this, I'm afraid her situation will not be good. Then Mrs. Mei will definitely teach her, and the elder brother of the Mei family also has a concubine..."
Mrs. Xue Er pointed out through her son that she thought of her daughter. He became worried about what might happen to his son: "Yes, I'm afraid that the Mei family has some evil intentions and designed to make Qin Yatou die silently in the Mei family's backyard. The Mei family has left Beijing again and is thousands of miles away from us. We let Qin Yatou make the decision. Neither can be done.”
As the winner of the women in the back house, Aunt Xue naturally knows what methods can be used to get rid of the women in the back house.
Hearing this, she said: "Then I won't get married." Mrs. Xue Er nodded repeatedly, but then sighed worriedly: "But girl Qin broke off the engagement, how will she find a good family in the future?"
This society is very unfriendly to women. If a woman withdraws from an engagement, even if she is not at fault, everyone thinks there is something wrong with the woman and that is why they withdraw from the engagement.
It is difficult for a woman who has withdrawn from marriage to find a good family.
Otherwise, you have to be a stepmother to fill a house, or you can only marry into a poor family.
Aunt Xue reached out and patted the back of Mrs. Xue Er’s hand and comforted: "It is better than letting the child enter that tiger and wolf den to suffer."
Xue Biao went to find Jia Hu and passed Jia Hu got hold of the evidence that Prince Mei bought a second wife before getting married and gave birth to the eldest son of a concubine.
Xue Pan and Xue Pan - Xue Pan found out about the Mei family's regretful marriage, and was so angry that he wanted to run to the Mei family to beat someone up, but was stopped by Xue Pan. Xue Biao said that he would find a way to take care of the Mei family, and that Jia Hu would help in this matter. Xue Pan, who was afraid of Jia Hu, didn't go to Mei's house to beat anyone up. Instead, he brought a group of servants to the door of Mei's house, shouting that he wanted to break off the engagement, and took the eldest son Mei into his wife before they were married. The cousin became a second wife and gave birth to the eldest son of a concubine.
The people around him listened happily to the excitement and accused the Mei family of being a family without rules.
Where is the wife who marries a second wife and gives birth to a concubine's eldest son before she even enters the house?
It’s a shame that they still claim to be a scholarly home, even worse than a merchant’s home.
No wonder the woman wants to cancel the engagement.
Mei’s family was blocked and unable to get out, and even more so, they were criticized by the people around them.
Master Mei felt that she had lost all her face.
He did not reflect at all on his white-eyed behavior of acquiescing to his wife and son to regret their marriage, and blamed all his mistakes on his wife.
The son’s second wife is his wife’s niece, and the eldest grandson must be born under the protection of his wife.
Obviously he said that the birth of his concubine's eldest grandson would affect his son's marriage and future. His wife said she would keep it a secret, so he tacitly agreed.
The result was not only known to the Xue family, but also exposed by the Xue family.
After that, all the noble families in the capital knew that his son had a bastard, so how could they marry their daughter to his son.
Master Mei angrily scolded Mrs. Mei: "It's all your fault. Cheng'er's future and engagement will be ruined from now on."
Mrs. Mei was shocked: "How could it be?"
Master Mei : "Everyone knows that Cheng'er has a concubine's eldest son, and the powerful family still has Would you marry your daughter to him? It would be impossible for me to plan for his future. Even I would be impeached by the imperial censor, you stupid woman!"
Mr. Mei would be getting more and more angry if not. He is not as strong as Mrs. Mei, and he wants to beat Mrs. Mei.
Mrs. Mei was horrified. She never thought that it would affect the future of her husband and son!
"It's all Xue's fault." Mrs. Mei said angrily, "This woman is a disaster and is not worthy of entering our Mei family."
Mr. Mei said coldly: "Now that you are begging others to enter the Mei family, everyone will Xue will not enter. If there is a quarrel in the family, it is inevitable that the engagement will be broken off. You should quickly find the original engagement token and have someone take it out and return it to the Xue family. Cancel the marriage and send the Xue family away at home. Keep making trouble."< br>
Mrs. Mei was full of resentment: "If I had known it, I would not have thought about regretting the marriage. First marry Mrs. Xue, and I will kill her. Then I will find a good wife for Cheng'er."
Mei The adult hummed: "Now It’s too late to say anything, hurry up and find the engagement token.”
Although Mrs. Mei was extremely angry, she had no choice but to find the engagement token that the Xue family gave to the Mei family. The mother-in-law sent her out. No one else from the Mei family showed up.
Xue Biao didn't care. Anyway, the Mei family's reputation was gone, so it didn't matter whether they showed up or not.
He took out the token from the Mei family to the Xue family and exchanged it.
