[Red Mansion] Different Daiyu

Aunt Xue returned to Lixiangyuan, sent a maid to guard the door, closed the door, took out a bunch of keys from the hidden compartment of the bedside table, opened a box hidden in the closet, and took out a few antiques from it. I took out a box from the bottom, opened it, took out a few banknotes from inside, and wrapped them carefully with a handkerchief, but felt that this was not good, fearing that Mrs. Wang would see the clue if I was too cautious, so I crumpled the handkerchief , pack as you please.

Then put the box back to its original place, put away the antiques and so on, then lock the box and stuff it back into the closet.Put the key back in place.After doing all this, Aunt Xue was relieved.No wonder she was so cautious.After Xue's father died, she knew that orphans and widows could not survive in Jinling, so she sold the Xue family's property in Jinling, and brought the savings of Xue's family, a total of more than 200 million taels of silver, into the capital.

Helpless, his son Xue Pan is a disappointment, and the family only knows to idle around, eat, drink and have fun all day long.The money was spent like flowing water.In desperation, she had no choice but to cling to Jia's family, and she and her sister had the same goal, which contributed to a golden and jade marriage.What the elder sister likes is the wealth of the Xue family, but what she likes is the power of the Jia family, and the two coincide with each other.

But looking at it, Baochai is already 17 years old, and most girls may become mothers, but the old lady still refuses to let go.Before, I had Lin Daiyu, who was like a fairyland, but she was lucky. She became a member of the Jiufu Jin at the age of 11, and now she has children.Later, a crazy Shi Xiangyun came, and he finally got engaged. Aunt Xue thought it was Baochai's turn.But the old lady also said that Baoyu was destined not to marry early.Aunt Xue's hair almost turned white in a hurry.

As for Mrs. Wang, her good sister was only thinking of Baochai, but had no choice but to get over the old lady. Now the dust has settled, and with the empress speaking, this golden and jade marriage should be secure.My Baochai can finally join the Duke's House as a young mistress.

Aunt Xue sighed with a smile, and called her accompanying room, "You go to the second wife's place and give this to the second wife. Remember, you must hand it over to the second wife, don't be careless, just hurry up!"

"Yes, ma'am, don't worry!" The accompanying room opened the door curtain and went out, just as Baochai staggered in with Ying'er. "Mom, what's the matter?"

Aunt Xue signaled Yinger to go out, and Yinger went out obediently, closed the door, and sat under the eaves to bask in the sun.

"Sent some banknotes to your aunt."

"Another bank note, how much is it this time?" Xue Baochai was also a little helpless, since he lived in Jia's mansion, he didn't know how much money he had filled in, but there was no trace of what their mother and daughter planned.

"Not much, just 5 taels!" Aunt Xue said indifferently.

"What? 5 taels!" Xue Baochai had a headache. Looking at Aunt Xue's understated tone, Xue Baochai really didn't know what to say. She is also helping her aunt with housekeeping, knowing that Jia's mansion is just an empty bag now, 5 taels , Enough to feed Jia's family for two years.

"Mom, you gave 50 taels back when you built a family-friendly garden. In the past two years, my aunt has continued to take care of the empress in the palace. She also gave 10 taels of silver back and forth, and now it is 5 taels. With this money, I will not have to worry about eating and drinking in whichever family I marry! Why bother?" Xue Baochai couldn't help crying, covering her face when she remembered that her mother spent all this money for herself.

"My son, it's different this time. Did you know that Yuanchun is pregnant! As long as Yuanchun gives birth to a prince, then Jia's mansion will be Huang's elder brother's natal family, and Baoyu will be Huang's elder brother's biological uncle. Jia's mansion is completely married to the royal family. What's more, your aunt has already said that she will make a decree for marriage when she enters the palace next time." Aunt Xue said in a low voice excitedly.

"Really, Your Majesty is pregnant?" Xue Baochai stopped her tears when she heard this.

"That's right. Besides, my sister, I know in my heart that even though Jia's house is empty, the old lady and your aunt have a lot of private houses in their hands. The old lady loves Baoyu the most. You The same is true for aunts. The private houses in their hands will not all belong to Baoyu in the future. What's more, once the empress gives birth to a prince, it is uncertain who will own the title of the Jia family. At that time, you will marry Baoyu Now that you have wealth, power, and status, my son, you don’t have to worry about it for the rest of your life. In the future, you can also support your elder brother.” Aunt Xue’s eyes were also red when she finished speaking.

"Your brother will be like this for the rest of his life. I can't help it. I can only hope that I will marry a good man with you. In the future, when your brother is in trouble, I can support you. Baoyu is a very gentle person. There are too many girls in Yao Qiaoqiao, but your aunt likes you. Your marriage is not bad. It’s just that I have wronged my son. With my son’s appearance and talent, the prince and elder brother can also afford it .It's your brother who is useless and tired of you!"

Xue Baochai couldn't help it either, and hugged Aunt Xue and cried, "Mother, don't talk about it. Although my brother is not good, he is very good to my mother and me. Our Xue family is an imperial merchant, a scholar, a farmer, a businessman , ranked last. This marriage is very good. I am not wronged. Really!" Having said that, Xue Baochai felt a little unjust in her heart. In her heart, love and so on have always been fake. What matters is status and power. She came to the capital with high ambitions, but was tired by her brother, who couldn't send her to Qingyun with good wind.In desperation, he had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and choose Jia Baoyu, a pompous person.

"By the way, mother, I heard that Jiufu Jin is pregnant, why don't you pack up some good things and let my brother send them to Jiu's elder brother's house." Xue Baochai cried for a long time, and suddenly remembered that there was something else going on.

"Why send it away? Brother Jiu has always cherished Jiu Fujin, and even her grandparent's family is not easy to see. Who are we, why would she accept our gift! It's better to avoid it!" Aunt Xue took the veil Wiping tears, said.

"That's not the case. The eighth elder brother is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the ninth elder brother is on good terms with the eighth elder brother. Seeing that the deadline is coming, our family's imperial merchants will not take advantage of this opportunity to make friends with the ninth elder brother. How good it is to make waves again." Xue Baochai said anxiously.

"This is what you are worried about. My son, you don't have to worry. The name of our Xue family's royal merchant was bestowed by the late emperor when he was there. Who would dare to take it away later. What's more, your brother has already found the eight Fujin Eighth Fujin is Eighth Master's direct Fujin, isn't it closer than Ninth Elder Brother? In addition, your uncle also agreed to help." Aunt Xue said nonchalantly.

"Really?" Xue Baochai was half relieved when he heard that his brother had gone through Bafujin's door, and his uncle also agreed to help, so the other half was also relieved.

"Okay, my son, quickly ask Yinger to fetch some water, and after cleaning up, go and see what Baoyu is doing. There are also a few capable girls around Baoyu, you have to bribe them. Especially the eyebrows and eyes Somewhat like Qingwen from Jiufujin, I think she has a hot temper, you have to be careful!" Aunt Xue said with a frown.

"Don't worry, mother. The most powerful person around Baoyu is Xiren. That little hoof is the best at guessing aunt's mind. He has already surrendered to me secretly, and Musk Moon is also on my side. As for Qingwen, there is someone else." Get rid of her. Someone will grab the title of the number one servant girl next to Second Master Bao!" Xue Baochai said calmly.

Then she ordered Ying'er to fetch water to wash her face, and briefly put on some makeup. Xue Baochai took Ying'er back to the Grand View Garden and went to Yihong Courtyard where Baoyu lived.When passing by the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Xue Baochai looked at the dense green bamboos and sneered a few times. This Xiaoxiang Pavilion was originally her favorite place, because it was the closest to the Yihong Courtyard, so it was convenient for her to get the moon first.But Baoyu insisted that he liked the tranquility of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, so he forced the old lady to give the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to Baoyu as his study.

snort!Who doesn't know that the Xiaoxiang Pavilion is reserved for Lin Daiyu?It's a pity, now he is the high-ranking Jiufujin, brother Jiu is rich and powerful, and brother Jiu's mansion is also the most luxurious and exquisite among all the elder brothers' mansions, so they won't take a fancy to your Xiaoxiang Pavilion!

In the blink of an eye, after passing a small bridge and arriving at Yihong Courtyard, the sneer on Xue Baochai's face quickly changed into a gentle and amiable smile, "Brother Bao is there?"

Before he finished speaking, Xiren rushed out of the house, "Oh, Miss Bao is here, Musk Moon, pour tea quickly."

In the room, Baoyu and Xiangyun were playing cards with a group of maids. Seeing this, Qingwen snorted coldly, "It runs faster than a rabbit! It really is the most powerful person around the second master." Because Qingwen Wen's eyebrows, eyes and figure resemble Lin Daiyu a bit. Baoyu has always valued her very much. Hearing her such an offensive arrangement, he didn't think it was annoying, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's your turn to play."

Xue Baochai entered the room under Xiren's leadership, and saw Baoyu and Xiangyun huddled together on the same couch, frowning slightly, Xiren also lowered his voice and said, "It can't be helped, I have persuaded him several times. Yes, but our master, is he the one who listens to others' persuasion?"

Xue Baochai showed a smile on his face, "It can be seen that you grew up together, I can't compare to it, sister Yun has always been the most affectionate when she sees me, and now it makes me feel sad."

Shi Xiangyun stood up grinning, pulled Xue Baochai to sit beside Baoyu, and then sat on the side by himself, "What did Sister Bao say? I always said that none of the sisters in my family can compare with Sister Bao. My sister is my real sister!"

Xue Baochai also touched Xiangyun's little hand lovingly, and the two whispered, "Now the family still asks you to do sewing in the middle of the night?"

"No, since I made an appointment. Auntie doesn't care about me. Now Xiangjun's sister is also going to discuss marriage. Auntie can't see me! But, let's relax here. Brother love, let's go to the garden in the afternoon Let's eat barbecue." Shi Xiangyun suddenly remembered this, and said with a smile.

"Okay, okay. I have a new treasure. It is said to be Lin... No, it is said to be the sauce used by the Nine Princes' Mansion. Put this sauce on the barbecue and it tastes great. Sister Yun, let's I'll try it in the afternoon, and Sister Bao will come too." Jia Baoyu said excitedly.

Hearing Jia Baoyu mentioning Lin Daiyu, both Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun were a little unhappy. Xue Baochai was better, maintaining his usual gentle and generous image, but Shi Xiangyun became angry, "Is what she used good? I don't believe it, hum! Brother Ai, let's compete to see who's grilled meat is delicious. Sister Bao, you are the referee. You have to call Sister Yingchun and the others."

Jia Baoyu looked at the two people who looked like flowers and jade with a smile, and didn't take Shi Xiangyun's words to heart at all.How happy it is to be with my sisters day and night like this!
