The eldest son of the red mansion

So he left the Grand View Garden and went to Lixiangyuan where Aunt Xue lived.

When I waited in Lixiangyuan, I was relieved when I heard the peace inside. It seems that my brother didn't cause any trouble to the family during this time.

When Xue Baochai came to the main room of Lixiangyuan, she found a maid to inform inside that her mother had come to the house.

"Girl, why are you here now?"

"I got bored in the yard, so I came back and chatted with my mother."

Aunt Xue didn't speak, but just tapped Xue Baochai's forehead lightly with her finger, and then said: "You can hide your thoughts from me?"

After finishing speaking, Aunt Xue took Xue Baochai into the house.

The mother and daughter sat down on the kang in the inner room, and then Aunt Xue asked, "What's the matter? You came here in a hurry."

Xue Baochai was a little embarrassed, looked at Aunt Xue, then lowered her head and said, "I don't know if uncle has replied?"

After hearing this, Aunt Xue understood. She frowned and looked at Xue Baochai, and then said: "The reply is a reply, but your uncle said, don't act rashly for now."

"What does that say?"

"Your uncle didn't say much. He just said that the situation is unstable now. We'll see in a year or two."

Although Xue Baochai is only a girl, she has great ambitions in her heart, so she pays some attention to the affairs of the court.

Now that I heard what Wang Ziteng said in the letter, I understand the truth.At the same time, he let out a long breath in his heart, and he was still a little impatient.

Aunt Xue told Xue Baochai to stop talking, so she already knew that Xue Baochai's cleverness would definitely understand, so she said: "Your uncle said, according to the relationship between our four major families, it doesn't matter if one step is earlier or one step later, but the danger involved is indeed not small. , I don’t think there’s any need to argue with that girl.”

It turned out that Aunt Xue had heard about Shi Xiangyun a long time ago, and she also understood that Xue Baochai was a little impatient, so she made such remarks.

Xue Baochai nodded silently after listening.

Besides, in Baolinghou's mansion, after Shi Nai came back, he went straight to his wife, Zhang Shi, laughing bursts of laughter.

Seeing this situation, Mrs. Zhang still doesn't understand. The marriage seems to be done, "Master, is the marriage done? How did the old lady over there reply?"

Shi Nai walked back and forth excitedly in the hall, and said to Mrs. Zhang, "The old lady has agreed. Not only have I met the old lady, but I have put the past behind me. I also met our niece and son-in-law. It really is majestic and majestic, and it really has power over the world."

Seeing his excitement, Mrs. Zhang stepped forward to grab him and pushed him onto the chair.Then he stuffed a cup of hot tea into his hand, and then asked again: "What's going on? Tell me about it so I can figure it out."

"What's the matter? My aunt has been thinking about our family all these years, always thinking of arranging a way out for us, but it's just that we are so unfilial, and haven't visited his old man for so many years." Shi Nai's eyes showed when he said this Feeling ashamed, he talked with Jia Mu for a long time today, knowing that Jia Mu has always cared about their family and has been waiting for them to come to the door.

"Then the master told the old lady, is our family suffering? Is the old lady thinking about how to help our family?" Mrs. Zhang is already a little worried about money and can't eat.

Shi Nai gave her a disdainful look and said, "Can the old lady be as vulgar as you? Even if she wants to help our family, it's impossible to give money directly, otherwise where will we put our faces?"

After saying this, Shi Nai took out the dagger that Jia Ke had given him from his bosom, "This is a token from the elder brother of the Rongguo Mansion to our family, Xiangyun. You will send someone to deliver it to Xiangyun in a while, and you will also send this matter to Xiangyun as well." She said it, told her it was settled, and told her not to think otherwise."

What Shi Nai is most worried about now is Shi Xiangyun's desperate resistance. You must know that it is not good according to her temperament, and it is really possible.

But now Shi Nai already has hope, knowing that Jia Ke will arrange for him the post of Yangzhou magistrate, even if Shi Xiangyun disagrees, he will tie her up in a sedan chair and send her to Rongguo Mansion.

Mrs. Zhang looked carefully at the dagger. The jewels inlaid on it almost covered the scabbard and handle.Just the appearance of this dagger is enough to feed their family for several years.

Chapter 465

Mrs. Zhang held the dagger in his hand and looked at it for a long time, and he couldn't put it down.She has not seen any decent baby since she was married to Bowling Marquis for so many years.Today is an eye-opener.

It should be said that there were some good things in Bowlinghou's mansion at first, but then they disappeared for some reason.

This was a muddled account, but Shi Nai, who knew the inside story, was tight-lipped about it.

Mrs. Zhang looked at the dagger for a while, and then remembered the main purpose of Shi Nai's visit to Rongguo Mansion this time, so she asked, "How did the old lady of Rongguo Mansion arrange you? Tell me clearly."

Shi Nai sat there holding tea and said proudly: "The old lady heard me coming, so she called the eldest brother of their house over on the spot and asked him to accompany me to drink. Afterwards, the nephew personally promised Let me go to Yangzhou to be the magistrate. Thinking that there will be news in ten days and a half months, let me prepare at home so that I can take office as soon as possible."

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she said "Ah" in surprise. Although she thought that Jia Ke would arrange Shi Nai with an official position, she never expected that Shi Nai would be assigned to Yangzhou as the magistrate. Top one fat difference.

And going there can be regarded as a parent official in one place, unlike in the capital where there are constraints from up, down, left, and right.

Mrs. Zhang was also at a loss for what to do with excitement now, and she didn't care about the etiquette. She took a step forward and grabbed Shi Nai's arm and asked, "This is true. There will be no mistakes, right?"

"Don't worry, my elder nephew is the Minister of Military Aircraft no matter what. You can't handle such a trivial matter. Hurry up and send this dagger to Xiangyun, and then instruct the family to pack up, what should be brought, what should not be Take it, and be aware of it.”

In Shi Nai's mind, he never considered whether this matter could be accomplished.Although he is not in the court, he knows a thing or two about the affairs of the court. With Jia Ke's current energy, it is not easy to become a magistrate of Yangzhou.

Shi Nai suddenly thought of another thing, "From now on, don't let Xiangyun do those jobs anymore, and her food and clothing expenses will be the same as yours, so coax her well and don't let her pick her up." Come out."

Mrs. Zhang is also smiling all over her face now: "You still need to tell me, I'm not a fool. I'll tell you in a while, and our Xiangyun family will not have to do anything in the future, just sit in the room every day and wait to get married. .”

However, Mrs. Zhang asked with some hesitation: "Our family Xiangyun is only eleven or twelve years old. Isn't it a little rushed to marry like this?"

After hearing this, Shi Nai said indifferently: "Are there still few women who marry at the age of eleven or twelve? Besides, the old lady over there also told me. If you are in a hurry in the future, let Xiangyun marry first. It’s fine if they don’t consummate the house.”

Mrs. Zhang nodded when she heard this.Now that I have said that, there are many people who get married and have children at the age of thirteen or fourteen, but Shi Xiangyun is still younger after all, and he will stay for a year or two.Otherwise, if this matter gets out, their mansion will be even more ashamed.

"Our Xiangyun is still blessed. After this past, we will never end up enjoying the glory and wealth. We can be regarded as worthy of her parents who passed away."

After listening to Mrs. Zhang's words, Shi Nai nodded and said, "Xiangyun is indeed a gifted person. From now on, you should be more polite to her, otherwise it will be difficult to talk to her when we meet in the future."

Shi Nai now also has some understanding of the court situation. Looking at Jia Ke's current state, I am afraid that he will have a dispute with the emperor in the end. If he wins, his future will be limitless.

If it is what he thinks, then their Xiangyun family will probably be the master of the harem in the future.

Mrs. Zhang's attitude towards Xiangyun was not very good in the past, but if she changes it quickly, even if she can't completely win back Shi Xiangyun's heart, it can also relieve her a little.

Mrs. Zhang didn't think about it so much, she just thought that Jiang Yun is now Jia Ke's concubine, and her own house will not be safe in the future, and she will rely on him to blow pillows to Jia Ke. Treating her better now is for the future use her.

"Master, don't worry, I'm not a person who doesn't know what to do. From now on, I will really confess her as my aunt. What do you think?"

Shi Nai just nodded, and then yawned. Although he rested in Jia's residence for a while, he still felt that the alcohol was not over.

"I'm going to sleep for a while, I drank a little too much at noon today, and I still feel a headache." After Shi Nai finished speaking, he went to the bedroom.

Mrs. Zhang quickly told the little maids to take good care of Shi Nai and not let him catch a cold while sleeping.

After Mrs. Zhang arranged everything, she continued to watch with the dagger, and the maidservants beside her also looked at it in amazement.

Some of the jewels on the dagger were new to them, such as the diamond on the handle, which was always rare in the Central Plains.Now this diamond is inlaid at the end of the handle, as long as it is shaken, it will feel dazzling, which makes people love it.

Mrs. Zhang sighed regretfully, this good treasure is about to be given to that girl Shi Xiangyun, and now thinking about it, she is still a little unwilling.But this is a token from the Rongguo Mansion to Shi Xiangyun, and she can't keep it privately.

After a while, Mrs. Zhang took the dagger by herself and led a few maidservants to Xiangyun's small courtyard.

As soon as Mrs. Zhang arrived at the small courtyard where Shi Xiangyun lived, Cui Hui at the gate of the courtyard noticed her arrival, hurried up to salute her, and said loudly: "Madam, you are here, come and sit inside, our lady." I'm busy."

Mrs. Zhang looked at this little girl, and wanted to laugh in her heart. Although this little girl said she was loyal to protect the master, her brain was really not working well. Everyone knew that her master was being lazy inside.
