The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 822
【and also】

After being persuaded by Jiao Shun, the preparation progress of Rongguo Mansion was much faster.

Many people didn't know what was going on, and they all said that since receiving the money from the Jiao family, the wife has cheered up again. It seems that the previous illness was indeed caused by lack of money.

Those servants who received the monthly order became even more grateful to Jiao Shun, saying that Uncle Jiao is indeed a loyal person, and every bit of kindness received will be reciprocated.

Just like this, he was so busy working until April [-]th, seeing that the Empress Dowager was about to leave the palace, the attention of everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was briefly shifted from the visiting relatives to Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng and his wife.

There is no other reason, Wang Xifeng was pregnant for ten months, and finally gave birth to a fat boy who weighed six pounds and six taels this morning.

After receiving the news, respectable people from all over the place came to congratulate Jia Lian, and Jia Lian smiled happily and accepted all the receipts - although his imprisonment this time was not long, it completely made him understand the situation.

The Rongguo Mansion is in such decline now, how can I compete with Jiao Changqing?
Since you can't fight at all, it's better to take the opportunity to earn more benefits.

Besides, it’s true that I raised a cheap son for someone else, but isn’t there someone else who is rushing to raise a son for me?

In the afternoon, friends and relatives came to the door one after another, among them was Aunt Xue who rushed over after hearing the news.

Seeing Jia Lian holding the child with smiles on his face and a family of three enjoying themselves happily, she was deeply moved. When she turned back to Baochai, she couldn't help but said: "Look at your second brother Lian, he was originally in a relationship with your sister Feng." Like fire and water, now that your sister Feng is pregnant with a precious son, the couple are so happy that they see the clouds disappear one day."

After finishing speaking, she observed her daughter's expression, and seeing no reaction, she added: "And your brother, who was having a fight with Mrs Xia before, and since Mrs Xia became pregnant, the two of them are inseparable, that's also true. Every day gets better—just a while ago, the couple went out of the city to live for two days, and when they came back, they talked and laughed, not to mention how happy they were."

Speaking of this, Aunt Xue couldn't help but smile on her face. In the past, her biggest heart trouble was her son. Before Xue Pan and Xia Jingui had a quarrel, she seemed to be worried. If it wasn't for her, she would still be anxious He comforted her from time to time, and he might even get sick after sitting down.

Fortunately, God opened his 'eyes', allowing the husband and wife to reconcile because of the child.

What still worries her now is the issue of Baochai and Baoyu.

Just now seeing Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng's family of three enjoying themselves happily, and thinking about the situation of her son and Xia Jingui, she couldn't help thinking, maybe...

"Didn't you say last time that Baoyu will probably come back this month?"

Aunt Xue gently arched Baochai with her elbow, and whispered: "Although he did do something wrong, you two can't go on like this forever, can you? If not, how about learning from your sister-in-law and sister Feng? After having children and becoming a father, he must take it easy."

Xue Baochai had already heard what her mother meant, and it was not surprising that her mother would think so.

After all, Aunt Xue was notoriously good-tempered, no matter how angry she was at the time, she would probably choose to calm down afterward—not to mention that Baoyu was the nephew she had seen since she was a child, with broken bones and tendons still attached.

But Xue Baochai didn't think so.

It's not that she's afraid that the consummation of the house with Jia Baoyu will reveal her secrets. Anyway, Mrs. Wang is helping to cover it up. With Baoyu's muddleheaded character, she can be fooled as much as she wants?

But she didn't want to do that, and she didn't feel that the current Baoyu deserved to be compromised.

Seeing that her mother wanted to persuade her again, she put down the embroidery in her hand and sighed softly, "Mom, I have already discussed with my aunt. When Baoyu comes back, I will make peace with him..."

"And leave?!"

Aunt Xue exclaimed in surprise, then lowered her voice and said: "You, you must think it over, can your aunt agree to this matter? Besides, you didn't say that this is a marriage bestowed by the emperor before, so you dare not do it without permission. Claimed?"

"This time and the other."

Baochai explained: "Now that the Supreme Emperor and the late Emperor are gone, as long as we keep a low profile and handle the matter quietly without making it public, we don't expect to cause any trouble."

"That's easy to say."

Aunt Xue's festive oval face was wrinkled into bun folds, she took her daughter's hand and said, "But if you don't say anything, how can you find another family? Could it be that you can't just stay in your mother's house for the rest of your life?"

Baochai pretended to be unhappy: "Why, does mother dislike me?"

"You child, I... oh~!"

Aunt Xue wanted to persuade her again, but once Baochai made up her mind, how could she listen to advice?

It so happened that Mrs. Wang sent someone to invite her at this time, and Aunt Xue wanted to ask Mrs. Wang to see what she thought about this matter.

As a result, as soon as they turned to the Grand View Garden, Yinger caught up from behind.

"how?"

Aunt Xue wondered, "Did your grandma forget something?"

Ying'er nodded sharply: "Grandma does have a few words, let me pass them on to my wife in private."

As time went by, she no longer dared to call herself a girl outside.

When Aunt Xue heard the words, she waved her hands to make the left and right back away, and then asked curiously, "What's the matter with being so mysterious?"

Ying'er hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Young lady wants to reconcile, in fact, besides being hurt by Second Master Bao, it is also because of being stimulated by Miss San."

But it turned out that Yinger heard Aunt Xue's exclamation in the room.

"You mean Tanchun?"

Aunt Xue was confused when she heard this: "Why did she provoke Baochai? I remember that the relationship between the two of them is not very good? The third girl doesn't look like an unreasonable person..."

"It's not that the third girl has any conflicts with grandma."

Yinger snapped her fingers and said, "This time the third girl was able to enter the palace to take care of the emperor, thanks to the strong recommendation of Uncle Jiao. I heard that when the emperor ascended the throne, the third girl stood by his side! Think about it, how decent is this?! "

"A few days ago, when Uncle Jiao came to offer the offer, there was a sensation in the whole family's rewards. Not to mention the value of the betrothal gift, just the heart of offering sacrifices to the fields from Jia Yucun is enough to make people enviable. Going back to my natal family for the next 30 to [-] years will be just talk.”

"It is rumored that when she gets married, the empress dowagers will make an exception and give imperial orders!"

Hearing this, Aunt Xue finally thought about it, but she still didn't fully understand: "You mean, Baochai is envious of the three girls who got such benefits? But what does this have to do with her wanting to reconcile? "

"Could it be that Ma'am has forgotten who Uncle Jiao asked for in the first place?!"

As soon as these words came out, Aunt Xue finally connected the two things together.

Yes, I have regretted this. It is absolutely normal for my daughter to feel a sense of disparity after seeing Tanchun's generous treatment and comparing her own situation.

Seeing her sighing and sighing, Ying'er felt that the heat was almost ready, so she added embellishment and said: "To tell the truth, my wife, our girl sometimes talks about Uncle Jiao's name in her dreams."

"really?!"

Aunt Xue was taken aback again. It is one thing for a daughter to be envious and jealous, but Jiao Shun is always in her sleep and dreams...

What a mess!

"How dare I lie to you?!"

Ying'er said it categorically. Since she lost her virginity to Jiao Shun in the peach blossom forest, she has become more and more confused. She always feels that Baochai should not give up the last chance, and that he should try to replace the third girl.

Aunt Xue was silent, she didn't know how to react for a moment, if it was just a matter between the children, it would be fine, the problem is between herself and Jiao Shun...

Hey~
If I knew this earlier, why bother? !
At this time, Ying'er observed her words and found that her wife's reaction seemed to be different from what she thought. However, thinking that she could not miss the opportunity, she encouraged her: "Madam, the two families have just hired someone. If we can manage to ruin this marriage, wait until the girl After reconciling, will it be possible to..."

"What nonsense?!"

Aunt Xue woke up suddenly, and scolded: "How dare you say such nonsense?! You will be punished for ruining a marriage without a reason! Besides, even... Baochai can't marry the Jiao family again, otherwise, what will happen to the three families?" Pass?!"

Even without considering her own relationship with Jiao Shun, Yinger's crooked idea is definitely not advisable. It will ruin Tanchun's marriage, and let Baochai and Li leave for Jiao Shun. Turn against each other!
When Yinger heard this, she knelt down immediately and cried, "Madam, you always worry about other people's face, but have you ever thought about how deeply the girl was hurt by his family? Do you really have the heart to see the girl die alone?! "

"you……"

Aunt Xue was in a dilemma, and her heart felt depressed for a while.

At this time, a person came from the opposite side, saw Ying'er kneeling in front of Aunt Xue from a distance, and subconsciously stood still.

But her arrival still broke the predicament, Aunt Xue hurriedly said: "Caiyun is here, why don't you get up quickly!"

Ying'er caught a glimpse of the colorful clouds in the distance, and had to stand up wiping her tears.

Aunt Xue told her solemnly again: "Don't talk nonsense about this matter, I... wait until I meet your wife and see what she means!"

After saying this, he quickly walked towards Caiyun as if fleeing.

Although Caiyun was curious about what happened just now, but seeing Aunt Xue's frowning, she naturally didn't take the initiative to investigate, pretending that she didn't see anything, and explained: "Our wife saw that her in-laws didn't arrive for a long time, so I deliberately Send me over to greet you."

"Ah."

Aunt Xue nodded absently: "Then let's go faster."

Speechless all the way.

When they arrived at the hut in Qingtang, Aunt Xue didn't even wait to take a seat, so she waved back and forth in a pretentious manner.

Mrs. Wang greeted her with a smile at first, but she couldn't help but become serious when she saw her appearance like this, and wondered, "What's wrong with you?"

"Sister still wants to hide from me?!"

Aunt Xue sat down on the chair angrily, glared at Mrs. Wang and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about Baochai's reconciliation?! If I hadn't brought up the children one after another, Baochai had no choice but to confide in her. The truth, how long do you want to hide from me?!"

Madam Wang knew she was wrong, so she poured a cup of tea with her own hands, held it in front of Aunt Xue and kept saying "no".

When Aunt Xue's anger subsided a little, she argued: "It's not that I want to hide it from you, it's that I don't know how to deal with this matter, so I want to delay it for a while, and then discuss whether Baoyu will come back later." Late."

"What if Baoyu comes back?!"

Hearing the word Baoyu, Aunt Xue couldn't help but slammed the teacup on the table again, gritted her teeth and said, "The disaster is all caused by him, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change, don't you expect him to repent? ? Besides, even if he is willing to repent, how can he be late..."

Aunt Xue stopped talking subconsciously in the middle of her speech.

Mrs. Wang felt guilty when she was questioned. After all, Jia Baoyu's intermittent repentance didn't come once or twice. Wasn't it a solid germination after a while?
At this moment, she suddenly heard that she was stuck, and there seemed to be a hidden secret inside, so she immediately asked: "What can it match? Who can it match? You should speak more clearly!"

"This……"

Aunt Xue hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Who among these people doesn't have a scale in mind? He always weighs himself and the person being weighed, especially the sister-in-law beside him."

"You mean the third girl?"

Mrs. Wang vaguely guessed something, but she still pretended not to know and asked: "What does this have to do with her?"

"What do you say?"

Aunt Xue rolled her eyes angrily: "I think it was you who built the bridge for Changqing to get Baochai back then, and now seeing the three girls, who are both beautiful and beautiful, being taken care of by Changqing." , but she herself... If it were you, would you be able to balance in your heart?!"

After hesitating for a while, she finally said Ying'er's words: "I heard that Baochai has been calling Changqing's name in her sleep and dreams for a while, and she is obviously extremely remorseful..."

Before the words were finished, there was a sudden sound of footsteps moving away from the door, followed by Caixia Caiyun's exclamation: "Second Master, Second Master? What are you doing?!"

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were shocked and thought, why are they so silent, so they put Jia Lian at the door? !
Mrs. Wang pushed the door out with a livid face, and scolded: "What's the matter? Brother Lian is here, why didn't you report it?"

Caixia and Caiyun looked at each other, and replied tremblingly: "It's not the second master Lian, but the second master Bao who came back from the south, he, he said just now that he wanted to give you a surprise, and he stopped us from reporting, who knows Standing at the door for a while, suddenly ran away again!"

Is Baoyu back? !
Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

After a while, Mrs. Wang stomped her feet and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, don't chase him back for me! Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, I will expose your skin!"

Caiyun Caixia agreed, and hurriedly chased them out together.

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue returned to the room and sat silently for a long while.

Mrs. Wang suddenly sighed: "Just listen to it. He did it himself. If he hadn't messed around at the beginning, why would he be reduced to the current situation?"

Seeing that Aunt Xue was still sullen and didn't respond.

She added: "It's a blessing, at least we didn't say the last thing that shouldn't be said."

Now Aunt Xue's face turned pale, yes, it's fortunate that the two of them didn't mention the last thing they should have said.

Although Baochai's behavior of thinking about Jiao Shun in his sleep and dreams is very outrageous, it is still easier to accept than the two mothers who both cheated on each other.
