Xue Bawang's daily life

What can I do to save you, my brainless aunt and cousin?To actually provoke Lin Xiaotanhua, could it be that life is too long and tired of work?Xiaosheng is afraid.

Xue's mother thought about it, but Mrs. Wang couldn't see what she was thinking, so she continued: "Sister, think about it too, why should I bother to repair this garden? Is it because I think about it, the old lady and I have every day?" Greetings from Yuejiao Room, some of them will meet with the empress. It’s just that her brothers and sisters, how can they easily see her? See?" He sighed again.

Mother Xue heard a lot of Mrs. Wang's sighs today, if she couldn't hear them for a while, she would feel a little uncomfortable.

"I want to know that my sister also knows that my old lady has always been very happy with Baoyu's marriage with Miss Lin, but she has never mentioned it. She just planned to give the marriage through the mother's mouth when she was visiting her. , I always liked Baochai. If the old lady hadn't been interested in Lin's family, I would have liked Baochai in every possible way. We are sisters, and Baoyu and Baochai kissed their cousins ​​together. It’s no better than the other one. With my own aunt as a mother-in-law, you don’t have to worry about it anymore. Hey, the old lady has the final say in the family, so I just secretly told my sister about my thoughts, because I was afraid that it would spread. , Tell others to gossip."

Mother Xue laughed, but with a bit of bitterness.When they first came to Beijing, Mrs. Wang coaxed her with these words several times, she just kept saying that Lin girl was petty and praised Baochai for her generosity.

"Sister, don't blame me. I really want our two aunts to be married, and I really love Baochai's character, but I dare not mention it to the old lady. Although my sister's house has the signboard of the Imperial Merchant, it is a merchant after all. As the saying goes, "a wife from a high family marries a woman from a low family", after all, the old lady is not willing to marry a merchant's daughter to Baoyu." After this strong medicine was applied, Xue's mother really changed her face.

In her life, she was not as good as others in all kinds of things, that is, she was married as a merchant's wife.It is true that the Xue family is not an ordinary merchant, and her relationship with Xue's father is indeed harmonious, and Xue's father has always respected her.She lives a wealthy life, her sons and daughters are filial, her natal elder brother is Jane in the emperor's heart, and her direct sister is the director of the government's family, there is nothing unsatisfactory.All these things still can't make up for the lack of status.

For example, Mrs. Wang, the reason why she and Jia's mother can say hello to the Jiaofang every month is because of the imperial order.This is no matter how much Xue's father dotes on Xue's mother, and no matter how rich the Xue family is, she will not have a body of commandment.To put it bluntly, Baochai will enter the palace in the future, and she will be the lord of the first palace, and she will pay her respects to the Jiaofang every month. She is not qualified even if she is her own mother.

Mrs. Wang's words hit her sore spot exactly.She has been like this in her whole life, and she has no great regrets after all she has been in love with Xue's father for many years.But her daughter, what a good girl that is.Others don't mention it, sister Jia Tanying Xichun was born in the government, and Shi Xiangyun was also born in a family of historians, but who can compare to her Baochai?

It's just that because he was born in a merchant's family, even though he has a lot of money, he still can't get into the eyes of Mrs. Jia. "Merchant's Daughter" and "Merchant's Daughter", to Xue's mother, she shed tears every word.

Mrs. Wang's eyes were full of dark tides, but her face was deep, "Sister, don't dislike me for speaking harshly. If others say anything, will I dislike her? But with Baochai's character, if she married an ordinary family, it would be difficult for her How can you and I bear the heart? But if you really want to marry into such a high-ranking family, you will inevitably be picked by others. Don't talk about my sister, how can I be happy?"

Another dose of strong medicine, Mrs. Wang did not wait for Xue's mother to respond, she changed her steps and pressed her, and said softly: "Now I want to tell my sister, when I said hello last month, I told my mother about our Baochai. The empress still remembers her and likes her very much, but she has never seen her before, so it is not easy to point her out to others. And I don’t know if my sister has shown Baochai, or which family is good, So I told me in advance. When the empress is visiting relatives, I will call Baochai to greet the empress, and then let the empress point out a marriage for her. It is more decent. In this way, with the empress's golden words, who would dare to choose Baochai? What about Chai's background?"

Mrs. Wang's words immediately moved Mother Xue.She naturally knew that Mrs. Wang's words and actions were just for money from Xue's family, but what else could she do?Baochai's future is all tied to Mrs. Wang and the empress of the palace.The most important thing in her family is silver, if she can exchange the silver for Baochai to have a bright future, how could she be reluctant.Not to mention that Mrs. Wang is not going there for nothing, it's just a temporary loan. After the garden is repaired, the Ministry of Internal Affairs allocated the money, and it's not that Mrs. Wang will not return it to her.

Xue's mother said: "My master left early, and Pan'er is not a prudent person. Who can I count on now? It can be seen that she is her own aunt, who cares more about Baochai than my own mother. My sister is her mother. Like a real daughter, Baochai will naturally be filial to her elder sister in the future."

Mrs. Wang's face became more and more eager, "Look at what my sister said, my own daughter is not around, I only treat Baochai as my own daughter, who else can go past her?"

Mother Xue's mind was settled, Fang smiled and said: "My sister only loves like Baochai's daughter. Could it be that I have used my sister as an outsider? Although I know I am not worthy, I love my mother no less than my sister."

Mrs. Wang said angrily: "What is worthy or not? Are you not the mother's real aunt? But don't say such things, let the mother listen, you should be so distressed."

The next day, Xue's mother asked someone to deliver a small box containing pastries.Mrs. Wang smiled and gave Jin Chuan the radish cake in the first layer of the box, and asked her to share it with the servants around her. She carefully put away the 10 taels of silver notes at the bottom of the box. .

When Jin Chuan went to share the radish cake, the little girl asked her: "Sister Jin Chuan'er, didn't Mrs. Xue specially send this over? Why did your wife share it with us?"

Jin Chuan said disdainfully: "It's just a box of cakes, it's just a box of cakes, and it's just a box of cakes. My wife sees that there is nothing I can eat. Is it possible to look at this box of carrot cakes? It's not such a precious thing."

But the little girl said: "But I am very happy to see my wife."

Jin Chuan's face froze, but he couldn't tell the inside story to these little girls, so he said angrily: "You can't stop your mouths even if you eat."

Those little girls knew that she was not very happy, so they didn't dare to say any more. They shared the cake with a smile, and didn't forget to leave a copy for Jin Chuan's younger sister, Yu Chuan. turned pale.

When she left, some colleagues who were waiting to be broken-mouthed murmured: "She is working hard, looking at the second master really looked at her, and she still wants to be the second grandma Bao in this mansion. Dreaming."

As soon as she finished speaking, another maidservant who was slightly older immediately stopped her in a low voice: "There is no such thing as a shadow, don't talk nonsense, you are looking at your wife's good temper? Jin Chuan doesn't matter." , Carefully ruin Baoyu's reputation, who can spare you?"

The little girls immediately fell silent, and the little girl just now responded in a low voice, "Understood, Sister Caixia, I won't dare next time."

Caixia then slowed down her tone, "You guys are on duty and be careful, don't be like those old ladies talking badly during the day, it's not annoying, but we can arrange the master's affairs? I'll teach you today, you just remember Hold on, don't wait for the day when you lose your life, you should regret it."

Those little girls all agreed, and the sweet-mouthed one walked over and hugged Caixia's arm, smiling coquettishly, "My good sister, we all know that there are cakes here, but Mrs. Xue sent them. The things in her house are always good, so you should come over and have a taste."

Seeing this, the rest of the maids all came to call her, and Caixia was surrounded by her, but they couldn't resist them, so they just picked up a piece of carrot cake and ate a piece of it.

Xue's mother has been helping Zhang Luoxue Biao's new yard at home for the past few days. Xu's family has already come to measure the size, and Tete ordered that the furniture in the new yard will be empty first, just waiting for them to prepare.Mother Xue would not disobey the Xu family's wishes, but she discussed with Xue Biao and increased the betrothal gift to the Xu family by another [-]%.

The Xu family wanted to make a face for Miss Xu, and also meant to value this marriage, but his family is a scholarly family after all, and to be honest, they have a solid background, but their family resources are not as good.Miss Xu is the youngest daughter of the family, and Xu Hanlin and his wife love her more, but it's not easy to really evacuate the family property, isn't it?The Xue family has more betrothal gifts, and they will all be filled in the dowry for Miss Xu at that time. It looks good, and it can be seen that the Xue family treats Miss Xu seriously.

Xue's mother quietly disclosed the Xue family's betrothal gift list to Mrs. Xu, even if Mrs. Xu just saw Xue Biao, she couldn't help but lament the benefits of the Xue family's marriage.He also thought that Xue's family came from merchants, and some of their wealth was justified, so he felt relieved and treated Xue's family more and more affectionately.

Xue Pan saw that Xue's mother was very happy these days, so she didn't think much about it, but later she heard from Baochai that she didn't know why her mother had violated the leftist nature, so she sent someone to give Mrs. Wang a box of carrot cake.It's not such a precious thing, but it's still eager to send it. Hasn't my aunt eaten it?Maybe it's a joke for the rich and powerful eyes of the Jia family.

Only then did Xue Pan get interested and asked about Xue's mother.

Xue's mother didn't want her son to know, but Xue Pan asked again and again, so she said it.Xue Pan nearly vomited blood from her anger.

"Auntie, she really dares to say that she has a red mouth and white teeth to ask a concubine to give a marriage to someone else. The harem should have its own queen, when will it be a concubine's turn to give a marriage? She has such a big face, Could it be that you can't wait to be a queen?"

Mother Xue hurriedly covered Xue Pan's mouth, and said in shock: "You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? If someone overhears it, that would be a serious crime of stealing the house! Don't dare to say that."

Xue Pan pulled down Xue's mother, "Mom, think about it, am I not telling the truth? There are very few people from the royal family who give marriages to foreign surnames. There are really a few, and they are all graces that they asked for. The emperor and empress know that you are Which one is on the card, how can one be willing to point to a marriage casually. The royal family refers to a decent marriage, if there is really a married couple, will the royal family be proud of it?"

Mother Xue was still unwilling, "Where can I point out the resentment? Not to mention your sister, even the girl Lin has been on good terms with Baoyu since she came, and Mrs. Jia has already agreed. Their aunts and sisters are also beating children. If you really get a marriage gift from your mother, that is decent."

Xue Pan sneered: "Mom only saw that the Jia family was happy with the marriage of the two families. Could it be that the Lin family was happy? If Lin Jue really wanted this marriage, would she be in a hurry to move out? Mom doesn't know, my aunt is How do you treat sister-in-law Zhu, how can Lin Jue let his sister be his aunt's daughter-in-law?"

Mother Xue was a little unhappy, "Why do you say that about your aunt?"

Xue Pan hummed: "Isn't it?"

Mother Xue was speechless for a while.
