Mrs. Pin, one of the Red House

Let's talk about Baochai's side, but it's another way.

Lan Yun first led Baochai to drink tea in his yard, and before the two sat down, Xiangyun came over.

"I'm really sorry." A few maids opened the curtain, and saw Xiang Yun walking in with a smile, "I was a little uncomfortable just now, I really was rude."

Baochai also heard what Aunt Xue had said about the girls in the Shifu, and knew that this was the older girl who hadn't gone out to meet just now, so she got up quickly to bless her.

Although Xiangyun didn't come out to greet her before, but she is a guest, how can there be any reason to say that she is not the host?

What's more, this is Hou Mansion.

"This is you Xue..." Lan Yun wanted to be funny, but he was at a loss for words. He didn't walk around with Xue's house before, so he was a little embarrassed at this time, so he turned his head and asked Baochai in a low voice, "When is your birthday? "

Only then did Baochai discuss birth dates with Lan Yun and Xiangyun.

"Don't look at people who are only a little bit older than you, they are a hundred times more secure than you in doing things." Lan Yun gently pushed Xiangyun and smiled.

Xiangyun smiled and pretended not to hear what Lan Yun said: "Yes, yes, when I am at home, I often hear the third aunt say how the eldest girl of the Xue family is, how outstanding, how excellent, etc., I I just thought, could Miss Xue be a fairy-like person?"

"You're the one who talks too much." Lan Yun was afraid that Xiang Yun's words would slip up, so he quickly changed the subject.

Baochai is a guest, and her personality is not the kind that likes to be competitive, so she said a few words of humility decisively, praised Lanyun, and praised Xiangyun. The family takes care of a lot, although he is young, but he is also generous in dealing with things, and a few words are appropriate.

Lan Yun originally looked down on the daughter of a businessman, and felt that Baochai's current status, going to and from the capital, was just borrowing her mother's surname.

As the three of them were talking, the maid beside Lan Yun came in to announce that Ning Yun had come.

The main matter was settled, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Wang wanted to drink tea with Aunt Xue, thinking that the three of them had something to say, so she made excuses and came out.

Hearing that Ning Yun was also coming, Lan Yun hurriedly said, "Please."

Ning Yun walked in, saw the three of them sitting together, talking happily, and said with a smile: "I'm late, and I don't know what happy things you guys are talking about."

"It's just to hear some interesting stories from Miss Lan Yun," Baochai got up and saluted for a while, and Ning Yun returned the salute, and the four sat down and talked with cups of tea.

The children talked, of course, talking here and there, there was a lot of what they didn't have, and Ning Yun didn't have the heart to join in. Seeing that the desserts in front of him were not enough, he asked Bin Lan to bring new desserts, such as peach blossom cakes, apricot blossom cakes, etc. It can be brewed.

While listening to the three people talking, she was thinking about something about her family.

Although no one had told her about it, she still heard a lot of rumors.

Xiangyun caught a glimpse of Baochai's behavior, and she could vaguely see something golden. In addition, she had a golden unicorn, and she was a little sensitive to gold objects. After a closer look, she smiled and clapped her fingers. Pointing to Baochai, he begged, "My sister has something good, please take it out and have a look."

Baochai was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that she was talking about the necklace on her neck. It was windy in May in the capital, and she was wearing a waistcoat. She had to unbutton the apricot yellow waistcoat a little, and put rose and purple gold and silver threads on it. In front of the embroidered homework, she took out the crystal-clear and jeweled necklace in front of the beige.

Ning Yun himself likes gold wares, so he also went to have a look.

Xiangyun took it and showed it to Ning Yun and the two sisters. There was a heavy golden lock on the Yingluo, with two characters on both sides, forming two auspicious prophecies.

Persevere and never abandon, Fangling will continue forever.

Seeing these eight characters, although Lan Yun couldn't understand what they meant, but he figured out what auspicious prophecy it was, so he was about to say something. Who knew that when he saw these eight characters, Ning Yun's face turned pale, and he snatched Yingluo away. However, put it in the palm of your hand and take a closer look.

She was usually calm, but today she lost her composure like this, which startled both Xiangyun and Baochai, and no one spoke for a while.

After half a stick of incense, Baochai coughed lightly, and Ning Yun came back to his senses, forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry." Handing Yingluo back, she asked with a smile, "Let me ask a question. , if I offend you, Miss Xue, please forgive me, where did these eight words come from?"

"It's just given by a monk with a scarlet head, saying that it must be engraved on the gold vessel." Baochai didn't speak, but Ying'er spoke from the side.

"That's a coincidence." Ning Yun said with a smile: "I seem to have seen these eight characters before, or seen them paired with these eight characters, so I was rude today. Don't take it to heart."

"Maybe I've seen it before?" Lan Yun frowned and looked at Ning Yun.

"I remember that sister Xiangyun also has a golden unicorn. Maybe I saw it there, but I don't remember clearly." Ning Yun was obviously absent-minded, trying to blurt it out.

"Buddhist sayings, there are such a few sentences on the left and right, and there are inevitably similarities." After Ning Yun said this, Baochai hurriedly smoothed things over. Speaking of this matter, although she said so, it was not easy to ask, but she secretly wondered about Ning Yun's behavior.

But Ning Yun didn't intend to explain, and took the topic away with one sentence.

Aunt Zhao was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do.

If she really gritted her teeth and tried to make it difficult for her to stand on the stage, she had a younger brother, Zhao Guoji. She gritted her teeth a few times, but she couldn't be cruel and let go.

If she is allowed to accept her fate like this, Aunt Zhao is used to being competitive, and it will be a hundred times more sad than killing her.

Aunt Zhao stayed in her yard with a sad face that day. She happened to come back after serving Mrs. Wang. Although Jia Zheng still loved her as always, when he remembered how he had been humble in front of Mrs. Wang just now, he fell down angrily. A few teacups, Caixia did not dare to ask why, so she cleaned them up.

The rest of the maids were already busy flattering others and taking care of the newly born Jia Huan, and for a while Aunt Zhao was left alone in the small room.

Aunt Zhao was sitting there, thinking that it would be great if Mrs. Wang really went to court that day.

Aunt Zhao suddenly thought of Ma Daopo.

At that time, she spent 20 taels of silver to invite Ma Daopo, and she really lived a comfortable life for several days.

Or how to say that everything is in one clever word, she is thinking about Ma Daopo on one side, and on the other side she heard Caixia say that Ma Daopo came in to see her.

Aunt Zhao was overjoyed, and quickly asked Caixia to invite people in.

Ma Daopo walked in step by step, and within a few steps, she felt like she had walked out for a long distance. Aunt Zhao stretched her neck to look, and after looking a few times, she was looking forward to seeing someone.

I don't blame Ma Daopo for showing off. She has small feet and can't walk fast. She hangs out with the fringe people in the family of meritorious family members. She has a lot of money. She is less than thirty. She has a wide body and a fat body. Looking at it, I was afraid that she would break her pair of tiny feet.

"Auntie, how are you doing?" Ma Daopo sat down, before she had time to drink a cup of tea, she asked Aunt Zhao how haggard she looked.

Aunt Zhao was sitting on the big kang in the north, and the wrinkles were particularly obvious under the sunlight. She held her chin and held a handkerchief to pretend to wipe the corners of her eyes, "Don't mention it."

She told Ma Daopo everything from beginning to end.

Ma Daopo said mysteriously: "I have an idea, do you want to try it?"

As soon as Aunt Zhao gritted her teeth, the dead horse had the right to be a living horse doctor, "What can I do?"

Ma Daopo said with a smile: "There is a way, but it will cost a little money."

Aunt Zhao said: "Tell me, how much silver, if I can give it, I will give it."

Ma Daopo stretched out her hand and made a five-five gesture.

"50 taels?" Aunt Zhao gritted her teeth and guessed a number.

Ma Daopo shook her head, "At least 100 taels, so that you and your mother will have a smooth life in the future."

Aunt Zhao is also Aunt Hong who has been spoiled for several years. She still has a lot of private property. If she wants two or thirty taels, she really gritted her teeth. …

Aunt Zhao was suddenly furious, pointed at Ma Daopo and scolded: "Are you looking at people ordering dishes? Thinking that I am the one who has no brains? I will be easily taken away by you?"

Ma Daopo was not in a hurry, and leisurely blew on the heat rising from the teacup in her hand, and said, "Auntie, calm down, think about it for yourself, 100 taels, it's not a bad deal to buy you and your son with a bright future." Good deal?"

"Fart," Aunt Zhao was thinking about the huge sum of 100 taels, how could there be so much thought, "Get out of here." As she said, she dropped a teacup, and the debris splashed all over the room.

Caixia was guarding the door when she heard a voice coming in.

Aunt Zhao threw a teacup in her pocket, "What are you looking at!"

Caixia was so frightened that she quickly closed the door.

Ma Daopo packed her bags, "I'll just go, why is my aunt getting so angry." She was not afraid, "If my aunt figured it out that day, just come to me."

"Who will look for you..." Aunt Zhao stood on the threshold and cursed with her hips on her hips.

Her commotion made a lot of noise, and she attracted Ping'er over. Seeing Aunt Zhao's words were so off-putting, Ping'er frowned, "What's going on?"

Caixia shook her head, stirring her hands.

"Auntie is not sensible, why don't you try to persuade her?" Ping'er said a few words to Caixia. After all, Aunt Zhao has the name of Auntie, she is just a servant girl, she didn't think about it, she just walked away .

However, she kept an eye out and informed the old woman who was guarding the door at the second door, and asked the boy at the door to pay attention, who is this Aunt Zhao scolding?

The news from the family of the aristocratic family is always fast, and it only took a moment for the name Ma Daopo to reach Xifeng's ears.

Lin Hai was in his 50s, and suddenly had twins. Even though he was thoughtful and calm, he could see smiles on his brows and eyes.

Naturally, at this time, he was no longer a mere patrolling censor. According to the things in his previous life, he found the right way, and took a post to worship Chen Cifu. Chen Cifu was an honest person, and his son and Lin Hai used to be a teacher. When he came out, he couldn't save face, and said a few words in the emperor's ear.

Lin Hai was already well-known as a pure minister, and the emperor also relied heavily on it. In addition, Jia Min's dowry and the oil and water in his hands added up to a lot. He joined the cabinet, so before April, he was promoted to be the Zuo Buzheng of the south of the Yangtze River.

Lin Hai is proud of himself now.

Lin Hai was going to take office in August, so Lin Hai's full moon wine for the twins was set in Beijing. Although it was said to be economical, it was still a three-day feast.

Of course, according to what Mother Jia meant, it was a big show. She already felt guilty towards Jia Min and wanted to make up for something. It was rare to find an opportunity. The banquet got a great momentum.

Wang had a problem and wanted to talk to Jia Min, but he couldn't find a chance. A few days ago, in order to avoid suspicion, he couldn't come to the door. Finally, when he found the right time, he naturally brought Ning Yun to the door to congratulate him.
