Clear water and jade in the Red Chamber

The life lawsuit is understood.Because the Xue family's business was declining day by day, if it weren't for the name of an imperial merchant staring at it, there would have been nothing to look forward to.Don't think about other ideas, the Xue family, which was prominent for a while, is afraid that it will become an ordinary merchant.

Aunt Xue originally hoped that Baochai would enter the palace, and tried to get acquainted with the nobles to support her, but this day's great hope was in vain.At first, I sighed and sighed for a while, but when I saw my daughter's fever flared up again, I knew that she was also very angry, and it was okay to complain for a while, and the life and business still needed to be done.

053 Staying Xue Pan's Clothes and Brocade Returning to the Mansion, You Have to Look Highly at Qiyue Palace

Baochai had been ill for a while, and after recuperating better, she made an idea with Aunt Xue. Instead of buying goods according to the system, it is better to ask Xue Pan to go far and find some good things, clothes and utensils from surrounding countries. It can be presented to the palace, and if you buy more, you can fill your own shop, because it is strange, in addition to attracting business, it is inevitable to raise the price on the ground.

Aunt Xue pondered over and over again, but she thought it was a way. As soon as the first month came out, she arranged for Xue Pan to go to Qiyue Kingdom, south of the border of Shui Chao. Business Quotes.

Xue Pan was afraid of Jia Zheng, and usually went back to Lixiangyuan in secret. When he heard that he was sent out on an errand, he immediately agreed, wishing he could leave tomorrow.Aunt Xue was not at ease, and arranged for the servants several times, arranged the salutes, and then sent her off.

"I heard from your aunt that the Lin family has moved to the Dingbei Duke's mansion, and the old lady will be there in a few days." Aunt Xue was doing her needlework, half jealous and half envious: "It's so good that the Eighth Duke was sealed. First of all, I don’t know when the Lin family’s grave smoked from the grave.”

"The old lady really intends to go there?" Baochai bit off the end of the thread and changed the color of the thread.Wiping the forehead is almost out of shape, just embroider some auspicious patterns.

"Actually, according to common sense, what's wrong with being newly married to fill in the house and take care of the children? Don't Jia Lian and the others have to respect the wife of the big house? Not to mention that the Lin family only has one daughter. If the wife doesn't take care of it, it's hard to pay her back." It's impossible for Lin Ruhai to take care of it herself." Aunt Xue usually said to Jia's mother, and only gossips behind her daughter's back.

Mentioning Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai couldn't help but stop the needle in his hand, remembering that she didn't do anything for him.Lin Daiyu is very close to Li Yang, and the Lin family has a close friendship with the Mo family. This time the whole family came to Beijing and lived in Mo's residence first, helping her is just a matter of effort!Unexpectedly, she was so defiant that she was humiliated in the palace!Can't help staring at the forehead in a daze.

But now that Lin Daiyu doesn't come to Jia's house, and she is the daughter of the Duke, even if she wants revenge, she can't stick to it.Thinking of this, there was a hot breath in his chest, and he gasped slightly.He put down his forehead and leaned on the couch.

"But the heat poisoning happened again?" Aunt Xue was very worried when she saw this, she quickly poured herbal tea for Baochai, and called: "Xiangling! Quickly bring the cold incense pills, and pour a bowl of warm water, the girl is not feeling well!"

"Hey!" Xiang Ling, who was waiting outside, lifted the curtain and came in, opened the small cabinet to get the medicine.

"No need." Baochai suppressed the heat in her heart, her face turned pale, she took a sip from the tea bowl, "It's not serious, just rest for a while."

Hearing this, Xiangling hesitated, looking at Aunt Xue and Baochai.

"Forget it." Seeing her daughter insisting, Aunt Xue waved her hand, and Xiangling left.

"Chai'er is good to have a rest. It doesn't matter if you wipe your forehead or not." Aunt Xue said distressedly.

"It's not that the old lady praised Niang for her beautiful forehead, so Niang said that I did it. Now that I live here, I have to take care of it." Baochai stroked his chest: "There are not many Lengxiang pills left. , I have used it a lot in the past two months. My brother is not at home, and I can’t take the tricky and weird prescriptions to Jia’s family, so I just save some.”

"Chaier!" Aunt Xue said bitterly, "If Xue's house in Beijing had not been quietly sold, there would be no need to live here. Otherwise, when we go back to Jinling, the ancestral property is still there, and we will have nothing to worry about for the rest of our lives."

"Since I have come to the capital, I have no plan to go back." Baochai said quietly: "Living in the capital is convenient for the palace, and I can also take care of the shops here. If I have the opportunity, I can contact more official residences." , to open up some business avenues.”

"Forget it... A few days ago, your aunt mentioned to me that she wanted to match you with Baoyu, would you like it?" Aunt Xue asked tentatively, and was very happy to hear that her daughter didn't want to leave Beijing. She and Mrs. Wang had already made plans To become a golden and jade match.

"Mother." Baochai frowned slightly: "Baoyu doesn't seek to make progress, but only wants to play with girls. He can only be an idle son for the rest of his life, and now he only looks forward to Daiyu from the Lin family, how can he be close!" I really don't want to marry Baoyu, and her dream of Qingyun can no longer be realized.

"Chai'er, I know that you have been wronged by assigning you to Baoyu, but now the Xue family doesn't have to go back to the past. Our three mothers are orphans and widowed mothers, and your brother is not worried. If you don't go this way, where will you find it? Alright! Young master is not bad, at least he is well-clothed and well-fed, and he has spent his whole life." Aunt Xue knew that Xue's family came from a merchant, and now it is the best choice to marry into the Duke's mansion.

Baochai didn't know the current situation, and just thought about it without saying a word. If there was really no other way, marrying Baoyu might be the last way.If you directly reject your aunt, not only will you lose your way out, but you will also have no way to live here.

"Ma'am! The uncle is back!" Ying'er went to deliver the loquat to Mrs. Wang, but when she heard that Uncle Xue was back, she went to see the second master first, so she came back happily to report.

"Really! Where is it, where is it!" Aunt Xue heard that her son had returned, she finally let go of her heart that had been suspended for several months, and hurriedly got up to look outside.Baochai also sat up and put on a coat. Only Xiangling's face changed suddenly.

"It is said that the uncle went to the second master to greet him first, and he will be in the yard after a while!" Ying'er smiled and said: "Madam, don't worry, I will go and have a look."

"This kid is quite reasonable!" Aunt Xue said comfortingly: "Xiangling, why don't you go and tidy up the uncle's bed, and take a few strings of money to send to the kitchen to make good food and drinks on the table! By the way, first Go and offer incense to the worshiping Bodhisattva!"

"Yes..." Xiangling replied, and went to do it.There are not many people in the Xue family, most of them are servants who follow Xue Pan. There are not many maids and women. On weekdays, Xiangling is a concubine and works as a maid. In addition to serving Baochai, Yinger also does some errands from time to time. Wen Xing didn't often go out with Baochai, and stayed with Aunt Xue to serve as servants.

This Xue Pan is an idiot, he is not very effective in managing the business, and he is completely ignorant of the economic affairs of the world, but thanks to his grandfather's old friendship, the household department has a false name, and receives money and food. But he also knows how to bluff.After arriving in the Qiyue Kingdom, I made friends everywhere, bought things in bulk, and under the guise of the Emperor Merchant of the Shui Dynasty, I bluffed many people. After a while, even the Qiyue Palace heard about it and invited them over. Asking questions, Xue Pan's proud tail was almost raised to the sky.

"Mother! My son has met his mother!" As soon as Xue Pan entered the door, he knelt down on the prepared brocade mat and kowtowed three times for Aunt Xue.His face is full of pride, like Jinbang High School.

"My son, get up quickly!" Aunt Xue looked at her son with tears of joy, and couldn't help admiring Baochai's good idea, and her son came out after some experience.

"Brother." Xue Baochai finished dressing and came out to greet her.

"Sister, don't be too polite." Xue Panxu supported Baochai, but searched around the house with his eyes.

"I'll ask Xiangling to pack your bedding, and I'll be here later!" How could Aunt Xue not know what her son was thinking, if not, she wouldn't have killed her.

"I have been here for several months. I have not been able to honor my mother's knees, but I have bought a lot of rare items. After my mother has seen them, I will keep the ones I like, and put them in the shop. I set a good price and the profit is not small. !" Xue Pan raised his sleeves like a man, sat next to Aunt Xue's hand, and took tea to drink.

"Okay, Chai'er's idea is very good, if this road is opened up, why worry about the shop not being prosperous!" Aunt Xue said happily.

"Indeed!" Xue Pan also admired Baochai's gaze, and said, "I entrust my sister's good idea. Not only did the goods go through this trip, but I was also summoned by the king and queen of Qiyue Kingdom. The queen is our Princess Shuning of the Water Dynasty, and she is also our own sister today. The more I talk about it, the more she becomes closer! I think that the Xue family will become famous in Qiyue Kingdom in a short time! If the two receipts purchased in the palace are done well, you can secretly be Qiyue's imperial merchant again!"

"Oh! This is great news!" Aunt Xue clapped her legs happily when she heard this.

"It's just that the tariffs are a bit heavy, and I have to ask my uncle to clear it up... But now the tariff management is extremely strict, I'm afraid it will be difficult!" Xue Pan said to Aunt Xue.

"It's easy." Aunt Xue said confidently, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it myself. When your sister and Baoyu are married, how can your uncle not help!"

"My younger sister wants to marry Baoyu?" Xue Pan was surprised but very happy. If the Jia family is close, the Xue family's business capital turnover will be safe!There is no hope of entering the palace, no matter how good a business woman is, no official mansion is willing to marry as the main wife, the Jia family is a dignified mansion, the lintel is very high, not bad!good!

"Your aunt is very mean!" Although Aunt Xue was happy, she said with regret: "Just wait until the old lady gives up on the Lin family. However, judging from the Lin family's intentions, nine times out of ten it is impossible." When I first came , almost everyone in the yard knew that the old lady was going to marry two jade children.Lin Ruhai suddenly had something to pick up his daughter back, and now he has opened up a distance, Lin Daiyu is now the daughter of the Duke of the state, the male is lower than the female, and she rarely does it.
