Lin Feiyu dragged on for two days, and when Xue Baochai became a little anxious, she went to the palace alone, but the news she brought back was not very good.
"Baochai, is there something wrong? The sixth princess said that the accompanying reading has already been selected, and the three princesses personally read the roster to choose, and have never seen your name before. I showed her your poems. He Xiupa, the sixth princess said that if you really run for the election, you will definitely be selected, but she has never seen your handwriting and needlework. Now the candidates for accompanying readers have been reported to the emperor and queen, but there is no way to change them .”
Xue Baochai looked at her in disbelief, as if she couldn't understand the meaning of her words, she was stunned for a while before she came to her senses, "Not my name?"
She lowered her eyes, thought carefully about the events before and after the election, and slowly clenched the veil in her hand.The Xue family is a merchant, and after the death of Xue's father, their contacts have been reduced by seven or eight. This time, Aunt Xue asked Mrs. Wang in Beijing for help. She even handed over some money to Mrs. Wang. I can help a little in the palace, now look, could it be that Mrs. Wang's tricks have delayed her?
Xue Baochai was startled, remembering Mrs. Wang's cryptic mention of a good marriage a few days ago, this...is she trying to marry her to Jia Baoyu?
Lin Feiyu knew that her heart was very disturbed, so she sat on the side without making a sound. In ancient times, this age was not too young. She herself was temporarily not engaged due to family political reasons, while Xue Baochai had never been engaged to her father because of her filial piety. Look at each other.Once you get married, you have to start managing the family, and you have to plan for yourself. Xue Baochai's idea is very good. He will be a companion to the princess, and then his marriage status will be different. Maybe he can marry a Beijing official. In the future, not only I can still help my mother's family with my own scenery.
Pity!Lin Feiyu looked at the half-embroidered butterflies in the embroidery basket next to her. Lin Daiyu was spoiled and grew up with a cheerful personality, and the embroidered butterflies were also mischievous and lively, showing a bit of cuteness.Jia's mother obviously wanted her two most beloved jade children to be together, and she never gave up, but Mrs. Wang was unwilling in every possible way, and urgently needed someone who could compete with her. It happened that Xue Baochai came and became Mrs. Wang and Jia. A victim of the Cold War.Besides, Mrs. Wang's daughter has been serving as a female official in the palace for several years, but Xue Baochai is going to be a companion for the princess to fight for her future. How can Mrs. Wang be reconciled?Not doing something is not in line with her character!
Xue Baochai sat for a while, and slowly calmed down, except that her face was a little pale, she couldn't see at all that what she just learned was related to her fate.She smiled gratefully at Lin Feiyu, "Thank you for helping me find out about this incident, maybe something went wrong, since I have missed it, forget it, I am not blessed to serve the princess."
Lin Feiyu patted her hand, "Where is Baochai? How can you know that it is a blessing? Don't think too much. Now that you are in Beijing, you have the opportunity to go out with your second aunt and get to know more handkerchiefs. Maybe Don't gain anything."
Xue Baochai nodded, but she smiled wryly in her heart, she knew what Lin Feiyu meant, and she would let everyone know about her by going out and seeing more ladies and wives in Beijing, and if anyone wanted to, they would come to propose marriage.However, if she guessed right, Mrs. Wang would not be able to take her out.
"I still need to talk to my mother about this matter, so I will go back first, and thank you later."
Lin Feiyu got up to send her out, "It's just a casual question, it's just a trivial matter, don't take it to heart."
Xue Baochai went back to the main house of Yulan Courtyard, and saw Aunt Xue looking through the account books at the door, obviously she was about to help her "do some things" again, and almost tripped over the threshold.
"Be careful girl!"
Aunt Xue raised her head when she heard Yinger's cry, and seeing Xue Baochai put down the account book in a trance, she came over to help her, "What's the matter? Didn't you say that you went to the next door to find the girl of the Lin family? What grievance?"
Xue Baochai looked at the maidservants in the room, lowered her eyes and remained silent.Aunt Xue immediately ordered everyone to go down, closed the door, grabbed her and asked what happened with concern.Xue Baochai sat at the table and looked at the "do some money" written on the ledger, feeling sad, and burst into tears, "Mother! My aunt didn't sign up for me at all, maybe all the money in our family was taken by her." Give it to Yuanchun!"
"What?" Aunt Xue exclaimed, "What did you say? Who talked to you? That's your own aunt. Don't start a rift just because of a few words from outsiders. Your aunt is on your side. It took a lot of effort to manage."
"Mother, did you see her working hard? Didn't she say it all by herself? The news of her candidacy didn't come out for a long time, so I felt something was wrong, so I asked Feiyu to find out at the princess. The princess said that she has never seen my name or the things I handed in, and the candidates for accompanying readers have already been selected!" Xue Baochai couldn't help crying on the table, "How can people take such a thing? Come to lie to me? It's clear that my aunt has collected the money without telling us and doesn't do anything! No wonder she wants to propose a good relationship with you? She's hurting me!"
Aunt Xue sat down on the chair in a daze, "This... such a big matter, she won't hide it from us, right? After all, we can find out..."
"Investigate? How to investigate? Isn't it enough for us to pay her to buy someone to perfuse us? Besides, if I didn't think of asking Feiyu, why would we get suspicious and investigate by ourselves? Mother, I am not reconciled!"
Compared with her elder sister, Aunt Xue naturally loved her daughter more. Seeing Xue Baochai crying so sadly, she stepped forward to hug her daughter in distress, "My son, don't cry, don't cry, you hurt your body carefully, alas, this ... If she really delays my son like this, I will never end with her! You just wait, mother will go to her and ask for clarification!"
"Mother!" Xue Baochai hurriedly held her back, "What can you find out from her? I just got a letter from Feiyu and you questioned my aunt. Isn't this trying to provoke the relationship between the Lin family and the Jia family? of? You sit down!"
"Then let's just forget about it? Now that the companion is gone, you are about to get married at the same age. We don't know each other well in Beijing, so we wanted to rely on your aunt... What should we do now? Sigh, My mind is very confused, and I don't have an idea for a while, you are always sensible, but explain it to me."
Xue Baochai knew that Aunt Xue was not shrewd enough, that she would be undecided when something important happened, so she quickly wiped away her tears, and said next to her, "Mother, don't laugh at me, I'm not ashamed. In our family's situation, my brother is playful again. I have to plan more, no matter what, I can't let the Xue family fall like this."
Aunt Xue sighed, and patted her hand affectionately, "There is no one else here, so my son can just say what he thinks. Mother is hoping that you and your brother will get better, so why would you laugh at you?"
Xue Baochai took the account book and turned over a page, pointed to it and said, "Look, since we planned to go to Beijing, we have given her a lot of leather, satin, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings in our original shop, which can be regarded as a gift to us." Jingtou relied on her thank you gift, but no one in Jia’s mansion seemed to know about it, and judging by the attitude of the old lady, she seemed to take us in for a while for the sake of relatives.”
"Perhaps your aunt didn't want the old lady to know, so she used it as her own house? I heard from your aunt that old lady Jia didn't like her very much, and she even handed over the housekeeping to Feng girl. She probably wanted to save more money. Take care of yourself." Aunt Xue didn't care too much about this, although Mrs. Wang's move was not very good-looking, but she could understand it as a natal family.
Xue Baochai pointed at more than ten taels of silver in the ledger, "Seven to eight hundred taels each time, this deal is actually tens of thousands of taels of silver! I thought it was difficult for the eunuchs and aunts in the palace, and it would cost a lot to go through each layer. But if I don’t even have my name, where did all the money go? Mom, anyone with a discerning eye can tell what Yuan Chun did when she entered the palace. It's good news, I'm afraid it won't work, the Jia family may not be willing to spend a lot of money to send it to the palace, my aunt cut off our money and gave it to her...it makes sense.
Besides, I heard my aunt mentioning gold and jade to you in the room before. She knew that I wanted to enter the palace to fight for a future, but she still brought up such a thing at this time. Isn't it just to give us a way out, so that we can't escape? As for flustered?Mother, don't answer her, we have to calm down and make another plan. "
Aunt Xue frowned tightly, "At this point, I don't know what to do. I haven't got the status of accompanying student, and your uncle is not in Beijing. The only one we can rely on is your aunt. If we look after each other, I'm afraid it can only be some merchants! Baoyu... Baoyu is not bad... This is a son of an official family, and he was born with a jade title. He is as extraordinary as you. I think the old lady loves Baoyu, It's not impossible for him to become a noble in the future, Jia's mansion is so big, if you can become the grandma who heads the family, it will be considered a good marriage, don't you think Feng girl is very prestigious now?"
Xue Baochai became a little anxious, "Mother, did my aunt tell you these things? If you think about it carefully, it sounds nice, but how can you do it right? Lian's second brother is a serious successor. How can a good official give Baoyu the title? The old lady doesn’t know how old she is, the more she favors Baoyu now, the more difficult Baoyu’s life will be in the future, and Zuo is just a dandy who eats, drinks and has fun.”
"Isn't this easy to handle? Now we don't have a better family. If your aunt doesn't help, others may not be as good as Baoyu in terms of status."
Xue Baochai's eyes were red again, and she lowered her voice, "I know, maybe this is my fate... Mother, no matter what, we can't leave my aunt now, so you can pretend that you don't know about it, she treats me and the old lady In the arena, you will naturally be polite to us. Let’s talk about it later. Even if there is really no good place to go, you have to pass the old lady’s test if you want to enter Jia’s mansion. Let’s take a step and see. You are also trying Make some friends, if we can connect with officials and family members, we don’t need to worry about my aunt.”
Aunt Xue rubbed her heart and felt panicked. Mrs. Wang is so calculating about her daughters when she is old, but now they have no one to rely on and can only make false claims!She persuaded Xue Baochai to go back to rest, and after being bored for a while, she wrote a letter to Wang Ziteng who was out of town, asking if he could help Baochai with this matter.
(Ding! Sub-quest: Reducing Xue Baochai's trust in Mrs. Wang has been completed, reward the host with 30 points.)
Lin Feiyu lay on the bed and looked at the system panel happily. The previous few times were the main tasks, and the points were quite low. If there are more side tasks like this, it will not be far from upgrading the system to level four.Although there is still a big difference between the fourth level and the fifth level, but after all, I have seen hope. In the future, I will definitely have more tasks next to the emperor when I enter the palace. As long as she lives well, she will be able to rise to the fifth level one day and return to the end of the world. Before!
Thinking of this, she was a little confused. Although she has entered the capital now, the old emperor has not abdicated, the crown prince has not died, and even the Lin family is still out of town, so how can she enter the palace?And when will the fourth prince succeed?Didn't it mean that Yuanchun was conferred the concubine?Seeing that Yuan Chun will be released from the palace two years after his age, is this progress right?
'system?What if the elders make an appointment for me? '
(The host doesn't have to worry, the system is an upgrade system, and it will analyze everything around it to set tasks and guide the host to the goal step by step.)
'Is that so?Although I am favored by my grandmother and father at home, I am still a concubine. Will I climb from the bottom to the top when I enter the palace?I'm afraid it will take many years to climb like that. Mother Zhou said that the concubine has nothing special and won't be promoted casually. '
(The host only needs to earnestly complete the main task to successfully complete the goal.)
Lin Feiyu shut down the system silently and covered the quilt. The system is quite tight-lipped and refuses to reveal anything.She has only met the fourth prince once in so many years, and the fourth prince was still in a coma for most of the night. Later, when she was ten years old, the system suddenly issued a main mission to make her dress up more beautifully and smile more cutely. At that time, she also vaguely felt that someone I was monitoring her, thinking that it might be related to the fourth prince, and since then, there have been no related tasks.I don't know how the system arranged for her. As far as she is concerned, she has no other way except to get to know the fourth prince through Si Ruohan.
She closed her eyes and thought about it carefully for a while. It was really not as easy as doing the task with her own troubles, and there was no reward for her own calculations, so forget it.
"Baochai, is there something wrong? The sixth princess said that the accompanying reading has already been selected, and the three princesses personally read the roster to choose, and have never seen your name before. I showed her your poems. He Xiupa, the sixth princess said that if you really run for the election, you will definitely be selected, but she has never seen your handwriting and needlework.
