Xue Pan was severely beaten by Liu Xianglian, and Aunt Xue was very distressed, "It was heartache again, and she was hateful, scolding Xue Pan again, and scolding Liu Xianglian again, intending to tell Lady Wang and send someone to find Liu Xianglian." Xue Pan himself "slept on the kang and cursed Liu Xianglian, and then ordered the squatters to demolish his house, beat him to death, and fight with him."
Aunt Xue's mother and son's means of venting their anger were blocked by Baochao. Some people criticized Baochao's snobbery and coolness accordingly: Behold, she refused to let her brother avenge, but sacrificed her brother to maintain her good reputation!
Liu Xianglian's actions also provided "evidence" for these "people": Aunt Xue said that Liu Xianglian "is now drunk, regret is too late, afraid to run away." Later, Jia Lian also said that he was "embarrassed to see us because he beat Xue Duzi, and he didn't know where he had been." It seems that Liu Xianglian did indeed escape.
Liu Xianglian fled, Xue Pan's revenge could not be repaid, and he was beaten in vain, which fulfilled Baochao's good reputation - is this conclusion too hasty? If Liu Xianglian didn't escape, could Xue Pan really kill him?
What could have been easier! When Feng Yuan was killed, it was Xue Pan who ordered his men to do it, and they were seriously injured on the spot, and after returning home, they "died in three days." It's not hands-on, it's not killing on the spot. In this way, the Servants of the Feng Family had been entangled for a year. If it were not for the snobbish Jia Yu Village, this matter might not be so easy to understand.
Now, it is in the middle of the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven. Liu Xianglian is not the "son of a small squire" who "died early in the life of her parents and had no brothers", but a "son of the family", and has a good friendship with Jia Zhen and Baoyu, the sons of the nobles. And Liu Xianglian herself is quite good at martial arts, "cool to play with guns and dance swords." Xue Pan wanted to kill such a person, but he could only talk about it when he lost his temper.
Can't be killed, can you fight with Liu Xianglian? "I wanted to tease him, but he beat him", is it not shameful to report to the officials in this name? Of course, Xue Pan can find other excuses, but Liu Xianglian also has a long mouth, how can she listen to your one-sided words?
Xue Pan's arrogance was nothing more than the power of Jia Fu. But there are also several friends in Jia Fu who are Liu Xianglian's friends. When the family Jia Zheng's Fang Yan, may not necessarily aid and abett the abuse. Will Jia Zhen Jia Lian and others help a friend (who everyone looks down upon) to bully another (no one is disgusted with) friend?
Even if Bao Chao did not stop it, Aunt Xue's plan of "sending people to find Liu Xianglian" and Xue Pan's plan of "ordering Xiao Wei to demolish his house, beat him to death, and fight with him" could not be implemented at all. The result must have been Jia Zhen Jia Lian and others who came forward, looking for an opportunity to call the two people together, set up a table of wine, and agree from it, just like Feng Tiannan made amends to Hu Fei in Jin Yong's "Flying Fox Story", but it did not need such a big twist.
Ah, this operation, is not exactly what Bao Chao said, "Over there, Grandpa Zhen And Second Master Lian may not have thrown it away in vain, naturally prepare a host, call that person to come, in front of everyone to make reparations for his brother, confess his guilt"? I couldn't imagine that this deep girl was so familiar with the way of the city.
Maybe you won't believe Baochao's predictions. After all, she is a deep girl, how can she be familiar with the way of the city? However, the sixty-sixth time Jia Lian and Xue Pan Liu Xianglian met on the road, and said: "After the disturbance, we are busy asking you two to reconcile, who knows that there is no trace of Brother Liu", which shows that if Liu Xianglian does not leave, there will indeed be wine and say that it is impossible to sit back and watch them fight a lawsuit and die.
So the question arises again: Baochao can predict the consequences, can't Liu Xianglian predict? Why is he "afraid to flee"? Is it true that Liu Xianglian's "plain and cool man, informal" is afraid of the indemnity on the wine table? Is it not a confession of guilt after beating someone, and Liu Xianglian will be regarded as a fearful path?
No. Before Liu Xianglian beat Xue Pan, there was a conversation between him and Baoyu: "At the moment, I still have to go out for a walk, and then come back after three years and five years." Then he said, "Your aunt and cousin are still like that, and it is better for me to sit still."
When Liu Xianglian planned to go out for a long trip, she still thought about avoiding Xue Pan, and she was not ready to fight Xue Pan. If you are not ready to hit someone, you plan to go far, how can it be "afraid to flee"?
Xue Pan, who had only beaten people and had never been beaten, regarded the beating as a great shame; Aunt Xue, who only saw her son beat people and did not see others beating her son, regarded her son's beating as a big thing. However, the essence of this matter is nothing more than What Bao Chao said, "It is also common sense to turn your face after drinking."
It wasn't that Baochao refused to defend his brother, nor was it that Baochao didn't want to pay attention to his brother, but in that aristocratic circle, Xue Pan was really a small person who was not worth mentioning, and he couldn't cause any big waves—even Liu Xianglian, who had beaten him, was not worth running away for him.
