The Bookish Scholar of the Red Mansion

Chapter 49 Xue Biao’s Family Letter

In the days after that day, the students in the academy were in a state of excitement.

Later, Pei Huaizhen wrote in his own handwriting and had a pair of wooden plaques made and nailed to the pillars outside the lecture hall. Letter to:

Worry when the world is worried first, and rejoice when the world is happy later.

They and the words dare to be the first in the world on the top seem so appropriate, like a match made in heaven, so that every student passing by can't help but stop and look at it, which can stir up excitement in their hearts.

The impact of this incident does not stop there. For several days in the academy, Mei Xuezheng was smiling at everyone he saw. Even Chen Heng found it strange.

Outside the academy, students who came to deliver door stickers and wanted to enroll almost broke through the door bars. I even heard that later on, many people came from Jinling Chongzheng Academy.

Master Xu, who was in charge of this matter, could not stop the enthusiasm of the students even though he repeatedly screened and persuaded them to leave. Seeing more and more new arrivals, Jiang Yuanbai was very worried about this, always feeling that he would become one of the people trying to persuade them to leave in a few days.

It doesn't matter if he has a lot of money. His family is relatively wealthy in Yangzhou, and they have both business and fertile land. He would come to study before, and he would always follow his father's arrangements. If he was really persuaded to quit this time, it would be in line with his original intention of being free and happy.

It also eliminates the need to take the exam to suppress Xue Biao's ambition.

The most relaxed people in the room were Chen Heng, Xue Biao and Xin Suzhao. Xue Biao still had time to take Chen Heng with him to the outer door, watching the endless stream of visitors.

“There are so many people, I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.”

Although Chen Heng was surprised that Xue Biao would be worried about the academy, he was still quite optimistic.

The gates and courtyards are like a market place, not for profit. There are a lot of people, not for private purposes.

We are all people who are dedicated to studying. We should be more relaxed and listen to the arrangements of our teachers.

Xue Biao nodded and couldn't help joking: Brother Heng said it well. We are reading the same book, why can't I say such a wonderful sentence.

Chen Heng raised his head pretending to be proud and said in agreement: Otherwise, how can it appear that Brother Xue is a good judge of people?

Xue Biao laughed on the spot and slapped Chen Heng on the shoulder. The students passing by didn't know what the two men were laughing at, and they all cast inquiring glances. Seeing this, Xue Biao hurriedly pulled Chen Heng back to the dormitory.

As soon as Jiang Yuanbai saw Chen Heng coming back, he immediately came over with books in hand to ask questions. Chen Heng did not refuse and happily pulled him aside to sit down and exchange their views.

Qian Dayou was attracted by their conversation and sat down with a stool in his arms. Xue Biao was sitting in his seat, and he could see the three classmates bathing in the sun from one side of his head.

Chen Heng sat in the middle, holding a book in one hand and pointing to a certain page on the page. Jiang Yuanbai opened his mouth and was talking about his thoughts. Qian Dayou leaned forward slightly, frowning in thought.

If only I could draw them on paper. Xue Biao's heart moved, and he suddenly understood the beauty of chess, calligraphy and painting. He suppressed the smile on his lips and took out a piece of letter paper and spread it on the table.

After the incident with Shopkeeper He, he didn't reply to Xue Ai for a few days, and the academy affairs came again and again. At this moment, he was holding back a lot of words to tell his father.

Xue tadpole picked up the pen and concentrated on it, leaning over to write.

…………

…………

About ten days later, Xue Ai received a letter from her son at her home in Jinling.

He has been out doing business these days and has caught some cold. Xue Ai was resting in bed when her daughter Bao Qin came in with a letter.

Leaning on the bed, he took out his son's letter and read it carefully.

Dad, what did my brother say in his letter? Did he mention me in the letter?

Baoqin poked his head, seeming to be curious about the content of the letter.

Xue Ai smiled, and Xue Biao wrote two pieces of paper. The first one recorded the plaque given by Shopkeeper He and the court, so it was not convenient for her daughter to read it. Xue Ai took out the second one, which was full of his son's trivial matters in the academy. He motioned to Bao Qin to read it by himself.

The family is like a market, not for profit. There is a lot of people, not for private purposes. Has my brother's talent and learning improved so much? Baoqin hugged the letter and looked surprised.

Xue Ai knew that Bao Qin was influenced by him and also liked reading very much. He couldn't help but said: No wonder your brother said in his letter that the academy is full of good teachers and friends. Qin'er, dad heard that there is also a place to teach girls to study in the back hall of their academy. Do you want to go?

Xue Baoqin was surprised and happy, Dad, can my daughter go too? But after saying that, she said distressedly, What about dad and mom? I don't want to be separated from my parents.

Xue Ai, who looked sick, laughed loudly, took her daughter's hand, and comforted her: It's not like our family doesn't have a yard in Yangzhou, why don't we go together? It also saves you from asking about Brother You's current situation at home every day.

Really? Are our family going to Yangzhou together to find my brother?

Xue Baoqin and Xue Biao have had a good relationship since childhood. Now that Xue Biao has left home to study, Baoqin misses Xue Ai more.

Xue Ai nodded. He made this decision suddenly and naturally had his own considerations.

One is because of shopkeeper He, and the other is because of what happened to the Xue family a few days ago.

The Xue family's store in Jinling had a batch of money missing for no apparent reason some time ago. Xue Ai was in charge of foreign affairs, and everything had its origin and destination, which inevitably led to inquiries from the shopkeeper.

As a result, the other party said that the money had been transferred to the capital according to the mistress's wishes.

Xue Ai travels around the world all year round and has his own news channels. He knew what major events were happening in the capital, and he also knew that his sister-in-law sent the money to pave the way for the two brothers, Wang Ziteng and Wang Zisheng.

Xue Ai had nothing to say about this, he could only keep angry in his heart, which made him sick from anger.

During the period of recuperation, he also figured it out. Since his sister-in-law can't tolerate him, he will be under control no matter how much he is in charge. Now that both his parents and eldest brother have passed away, the eldest brother is not childless, and his family name is still Xue.

I might as well move my family to Yangzhou and raise Xue Biao and Bao Qin as brothers and sisters. In Yangzhou, he continued to collect rare treasures for the palace without delay.

If the Xue family really changes in the future, Xue Ai feels that as long as he can keep his lineage, even if he goes to the underworld, he will not be embarrassed to see his parents and brothers.

Then I'm going to find mother, and we're going to find brother. Baoqin smiled, lifted up her skirt, turned around and ran away.

Seeing her daughter's cheerful appearance, Xue Ai felt a little happy in her heart. She hoped that the days to come would be like what her son said, like a trapped bird escaping from its cage and finding freedom.

…………

…………

Half a month later, Xue received a letter from home one afternoon.

At that time, they were finishing their studies for the day, and their classmates were all playing and resting in the house. Xue Biao sat in his seat and looked at Xue Ai's words in the letter.

Suddenly, he raised his head and laughed, causing confusion among Qian Dayou and others. People gathered around him and asked him what good thing he had done.

Xue Biao pointed at the letter and said happily: My parents are coming to Yangzhou.

This is really a happy event. Qian Dayou and others congratulated him.

Jiang Yuanbai's angle was the most tricky, and he said bluntly: Doesn't it mean that my uncle's sister is coming too?

This guy still needed a beating, so Xue Biao put down the letter and pinned him down.

When Chen Heng came back, he saw the two of them messing around on the bed, and Qian Dayou and others followed them.

When I asked, I found out why. Chen Heng couldn't remember much about the Xue Biao family. He thought that this matter was already in the book, so he naturally didn't think about it in depth.

By the time Xue Ai and his family came to Yangzhou, it was already the season of autumn.

Just whisper it, Xue Baoqin is actually the most beautiful in Red Mansions. Qin Keqing is only beautiful, but Xue Baoqin is the only one who has been certified by Mrs. Jia herself as having outstanding appearance.

It's just that the Mingyue Taoist in the TV series was not performed, which is a pity.
