Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 368 Baochai Difficulty
Bao Qiong retorted: "My sister is right, but... my father and mother have been too sad since my brother died, and both of them fell seriously ill one after another. This is how they feel after the case of my brother is over due to the grace of the princess. It just got better, now you let them have another child? Besides, even if they have a son now, but the child is still young, when will it be able to become a talent? That's why I just said all the expectations of our family It's all on me, it's definitely not empty talk. Sister, I beg you to take pity on our family. I kneel down here for you."

Saying that, Baoqiong really knelt down to Baochai with a plop, and Baochai called out several times, but she insisted on kneeling, and had no intention of getting up at all.

This was taught by Qu's before, they always knew that Baochai was also kind-hearted, compared to Baoqiong's bitter trick, Baochai's heart would be softened.

When Baochai saw that she was determined not to be able to do so, he really couldn't bear it, but he didn't feel pity for her.She instinctively told herself that if she agreed to Bao Qiong this time, she would probably suffer endless troubles.It's not because of anything else, but Baoqiong's own temperament and cultivation are really not suitable for attending gatherings of ladies. At that time, it was different from the interactions between several relatives. If there was something wrong with her, everyone would accommodate her. .I'm afraid that if she causes something similar to Zhimeifang again, then everyone will laugh at not just her, Xue Baoqiong, but the entire Xue family, and everyone with the surname Xue will be affected by her.Baochai was very helpless, thinking, even if this girl Baoqiong had the bearing of her second uncle's Qin'er, she wouldn't have to be so embarrassing.

However, Baochai finally compromised: "Get up, I will seriously consider this matter."

Seeing that she was willing to let go, Baoqiong stood up reluctantly.

Baochai consulted Xue Wang and Xue Hong here, and their advice to her was not to agree, but Baochai was extremely embarrassed, and she always felt that if she refused outright, it might not be good.So she finally found Daiyu.

When she came to Lin's mansion, Daiyu was buried in a pile of account books. Seeing Baochai, she said, "Sister Bao hasn't come to my place for a long time, but is it also because of busy housework?"

Baochai looked at the beautiful characters left on Daiyu's ledger, and said with a smile: "Although I am busy, I am not as good as you. I only take care of our family's internal affairs, how many things can I have? Anyway, there are only a few things. The outside things can't be done anymore. Big, and my father and brothers mediate. I am a girl, but I do some trivial things. Unlike you, because Aunt Lin is not in good health, as soon as you learn to be a housekeeper, all the accounts outside the family fall on you One person is so busy every day. I am not a strong body, but fortunately I have a smart mind, can never forget, and know how to manage people. There is nothing unexpected about a big family. I can't help but be convinced that I can be so organized."

After hearing this, Daiyu said angrily: "Sister Bao, what's the matter today, did you put honey on your mouth? Why do you praise me like this?"

Baochai said: "Have you ever seen me praise someone? I said that because you are really kind? Why? Is it not enough to praise you?"

Daiyu smiled and said: "Where are you talking? I heard what you just said. Although you were praising me, it really hurt my heart. How else can I make you a confidant? We are both learning to be housekeepers. Only later did I realize that my family was in a difficult situation. It was because my mother was in poor health that I took over everything I could. You did it because your family was already in business, so you naturally knew more than me. In the past few years, everything I didn’t know about Yes, what is the thing that I'm not asking about, sister? I also guessed that my sister didn't come to me just to praise me. What exactly is it? You see, your brows haven't relaxed since you entered the door."

Baochai said in her heart, this girl's mind is really clever.But he felt that such thoughtfulness was really heart-warming, and he smiled unconsciously, expressing all the difficulties in his heart.

Daiyu pondered for a while, then said: "I think...it would be bad if this matter was pushed directly. After all, the third bedroom of your family lives in the house now, so what should I do if I don't see you when I look down? They are not fuel-efficient lamps in the first place, if they hold on to this matter, without a day and night, they just add seasoning to the conversation, can you bear it?"

Baochai nodded and said: "That's the reason. I'm not afraid of what they say about me, but why should I listen to their ostentation for no reason? As the saying goes, 'It is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain', I am worried about this in my heart, But I don’t know how to deal with it.”

Daiyu thought for a while, then smiled again: "I think it's okay to agree with her. Why did Sister Bao forget that even we don't go out very often on weekdays. The so-called meeting of the noble girls in the capital is mostly just seeing her." Seeing Tinger and the others is all right, even if your sister is not worried at that time, we have been in love with her for a long time, why don't we just look at her face and forgive me? Besides, your sister is so confused Where are we going to help her, even if she gets mad and wants to beat someone, Ting'er won't put her down with a knife? Why worry about something that hasn't happened yet?"

Baochai smiled wryly: "Why don't I know the truth of 'soldiers come to block water and cover with earth'? It's just that Qiong'er is confused and doesn't care. Most of the scenes are out of control. I'm really worried."

"There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, sister, don't worry too much."

Daiyu comforted Baochai, and immediately wrote letters to Feng Ting, Shui Yan, Wang Xifeng, Yingchun, Tanchun, Li Wan, Wu Linzhu, Shi Xiangyun and others, detailing Baochai's worries and Baoqiong's ignorance and unreasonable troubles. I wrote it up, asking everyone to remember to find a way to help Baochai to be perfect if they meet Xue Baoqiong at future gatherings.

Seeing that Daiyu had been writing for half a day and that all these letters had been sent out one by one, Baochai felt a little relieved.She went back to the mansion and explained today's matter to Xue Wang and others. Although everyone was worried, they felt that Baochai's previous worries were not unreasonable, so they acquiesced in this matter.

And Baochai told Baoqiong that she could consider bringing her to the banquet in the future, but the premise is that she must learn all the relevant etiquette well, so as to avoid losing etiquette because she doesn't know what to do in formal occasions.

Naturally, Baoqiong was not very happy here, and every day he was very serious about learning etiquette from the training nun whom Princess Shuyi had found for him, and only hoped that he would be able to attend the noble lady's banquet in the capital one day soon.

However, Xue Baoqiong's first official appearance in the circle of noble women still caused quite a stir.
