Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

The situation was better than Bo Yang thought, and Aunt Xue came back not long after.

Bo Yang and Baochai looked at each other, and then looked at her face, but they couldn't see anything.Aunt Xue sat down to watch them talk, because there were so many people, it was not convenient to ask.

After a while, Caiyun who was beside Mrs. Wang came over and said with a smile, "Our wife said that since my aunt is here, she will stay with us for a few more days before going back. She is busy today, and we will have a good talk with my aunt tomorrow. "

Hearing this, Bo Yang couldn't help but glance at Aunt Xue.What did she tell Mrs. Wang?

The conversation was not going well, that was obvious.Otherwise, the time would not be so short, and when Aunt Xue came back, she might not be unhappy, but she was definitely not very happy.However, based on Bo Yang's understanding of Jia's family, he thought that after the talks collapsed, Mrs. Wang would shake her face—maybe she did, but now she has sent someone over to keep guests, which is obviously a sign of weakness. the meaning of.

However, this show of weakness and submissiveness is also somewhat condescending.I wanted to be angry, but I had to pull my face down.

Although the original intention was to trick the Jia family, the result was already expected, but when this day came, Bo Yang still felt very happy.

In this world, there is nothing that should be taken by anyone. Although the Jia family's attitude of taking it for granted, I don't know how it was developed, but Bo Yang doesn't intend to get used to it.What's more, he already had a vague idea of ​​what the palace's attitude towards this so-called relative grace was.

——This is not only because Bo Yang knew the original work, but also from Lin Qi's attitude.

The Shangyu Backup Department is in charge of all kinds of information monitoring, but even so, as a small businessman, the Xue family should not be so concerned by Lin Qi.But from Lin Qi's words, Bo Yang could vaguely guess that the Xue family was probably under their surveillance all the time.

Why?

The only thing he could think of was that the Xue family had received a letter from the Jia family when they went to Beijing this time, and that's why they had attracted the attention of the palace.

Bo Yang couldn't help guessing, just like most people in later generations deduced, from the very beginning, this time visiting relatives was a conspiracy in the palace, in order to consume the wealth of these family members, and at the same time pass this matter. , sort out their relationship with each other, and even collect some evidence, and when they make a move in the future, they can catch all of them.

In this way, it is not surprising that Shangyu's spare office pays attention to Xue's family who has received a letter from Jia's family and went to Beijing.After all, everyone knows that Xue's family is rich, and "pearls are like earth and gold is like iron", so it is only natural that Jia's family wants to build a relative's house so that these family friends can "join in the grand event".

Bo Yang wasn't sure if Lin Qi had reminded himself and Xue Pan what he meant.But since he saw this level, he naturally couldn't let the Xue family be involved.

When Bo Yang thought about it, Aunt Xue said, "I already know what your wife means, but there are still a lot of things waiting at home, so I really can't stay. Now I am also in Beijing, and sisters can often meet each other. Let’s talk about it next time.”

Caiyun heard the words and had no choice but to agree to retreat.

Here, Aunt Xue turned her head and saw Bo Yang looking at her worriedly, then she showed a faint smile and nodded to him.

Bo Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

In this matter, he felt that he had considered all aspects, but the only thing he was not sure about was Aunt Xue's reaction.After all, they are sisters, and the love they grew up with is very close.Now it is embarrassing to think about turning faces for their own interests and families.Aunt Xue is a soft-hearted person, and she doesn't know how she feels.

But now it seems that she is much stronger than Bo Yang thought.

After a few more words, the old lady had woken up from her afternoon nap, so Aunt Xue said that it was getting late and she was going to say goodbye to the old lady.

Both Baoyu and Daiyu showed reluctance on their faces, and Daiyu even held Baochai's hand and refused to let go.Even though she lives here, she is also well-clothed and well-fed, but for some reason, she is not as happy as when she was in Xue's house.

It seems that there is no need to think about anything.

In fact, Daiyu also knew that she was just evading, but it was impossible for her to make a decision at this moment.I just want a place to catch my breath.

Seeing this, Baochai laughed softly, "I begged my mother to take you with me in a while and live there for a while."

"Really?" Daiyu asked in surprise and joy.

Baochai said with a smile, "Just watch it later."

Sure enough, seeing the old lady, Aunt Xue said goodbye, "I'm really sorry for bothering you for a day. There are many things at home, so I have to go back."

Although Jia's mother did not participate in the conversation between the sisters, she thought Mrs. Wang would not feel uncomfortable afterwards.She had the same meaning as Mrs. Wang at the moment, and said with a smile, "Since we're here, wouldn't it be better to stay for a few more days? Poor girl, maybe she hasn't been with the sisters for a long time, right? It's so lively here Wouldn't it be nice."

Aunt Xue laughed and said, "It's hard for the old lady to worry about it. She also has something to ask the old lady! She follows me on weekdays, although she also learns some things about needlework and housekeeping, but if the little girl's family always behaves like this, I'm afraid it will make people bored. She and Miss Lin are the most speculative, so she wants to ask the old lady to pick up Miss Lin to live with us for a few days. The old lady's birthday will be half a month away, and she will be sure to take care of her when the time comes. send it back."

Mother Jia pondered for a while, knowing that it was impossible to keep Aunt Xue, and letting Daiyu go with her also meant that the relationship between the two families was harmonious, so that if the relationship was maintained, other things could be settled gradually. .So he said to Daiyu, "Since your elder sister Bao invited you, then go. Don't be naughty and make trouble when you arrive at Auntie's house."

Daiyu was overjoyed, and hurriedly turned around and ordered Zijuan to pack her things.

Seeing this, Baoyu couldn't help saying bitterly, "I didn't know when your relationship was so good?"

When Mingming lived here in the past, Daiyu always had some feelings for Baochai.It seems that after coming back this time, she became very close to Baochai, and even left herself behind.

Although in Baoyu's view, Baochai is naturally very good, but it is still not as good as his friendship with Daiyu. He always puts Daiyu first in everything.Even because he knew Daiyu's heart knot and was afraid that she would think too much, he didn't dare to get too close to Baochai.Now seeing that Daiyu is ignoring her and becoming more affectionate to Baochai, she naturally feels very uncomfortable.

Daiyu looked back at him, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, "In the past, I didn't see each other very much, so I didn't get close to him. Now that I see him often, I know that there are such caring people in the world. You can know that things in this world are not seen. You can see everything in front of your eyes. I used to be narrow-minded, but now that she treats me well, I naturally treat her well."

When she said these words, Daiyu suddenly realized that her relationship with Baoyu was not like this.

For Daiyu at this time, it is naturally impossible to say that she has a deep-rooted affection for Baoyu.This relationship is complicated, with too many things mixed in - the anxiety of living in the grandmother's house, the grief of the death of both parents, the love of childhood sweethearts, and finally the confusion of lifelong hopelessness.

In the original story, she pinned all these complicated feelings on Baoyu, who is closest to her and knows her best.But now it is different.

She suddenly discovered that as long as she is willing to work hard, life may look different.Don't panic, don't worry about waiting, don't have to look to others, everything can be controlled by yourself, and you can find a way out of the desperate situation.

So those weaknesses and tears in the past are naturally unnecessary.

She will never forget the kindness Baoyu treated her in the past.But the road ahead may have to go by itself.

Although she wanted to cry at this moment, Daiyu raised her hand and touched her eyes, but no tears came out.She felt that she seemed to understand what Bo Yang meant.

……

Because Daiyu was with her, it was inconvenient to ask questions on the way back. It was not until Xue Pan came back in the evening that the siblings found out the details of the conversation with Mrs. Wang from Aunt Xue.

This time Mrs. Wang did not resort to any means, but directly raised the matter of borrowing money.

Aunt Xue was prepared for this, and she was not surprised, so she told the truth.After all, Xue Pan was going to do the spice business, and now even the eldest princess's mansion has been alarmed, and there will be no change, and Aunt Xue has a lot of confidence in her heart.

Mrs. Wang didn't expect to be rejected, and her face was not good at that time.It's just that she still refused to give up, thinking that Aunt Xue was making excuses for not wanting to pay, so she inevitably said a lot of benefits.However, Aunt Xue had only one answer, so she had to believe it.

This kind of thing can be found out as soon as it is checked. Aunt Xue would not lie.Mrs. Wang only hated herself for worrying a lot years ago and not speaking in time.Otherwise, how could such a thing happen if you took the money and put it in your own pocket at that time?

But she still didn't give up. After all, Aunt Xue just handed over the money to Xue Pan, but she can't do anything under the year. She hasn't used it yet, so maybe she can get it back.

Mrs. Wang's impression of Xue Pan was still that of the dumb bully back then, and Dacong didn't like him in her heart, and she didn't think he could really do business, so she began to push Aunt Xue to get the money back.

The general idea is that the money given to Xue Pan is mostly wasted, it is better to invest in Yuan Chun Yunyun for her.

Aunt Xue was willing to be perfunctory at first, but then she became unhappy.As a mother, hearing people belittle their children, no one will feel good.That's all in the past, Aunt Xue didn't even dare to count on it, so naturally she could only accept it.Now that Xue Pan had changed a lot, she was not willing to compromise, and immediately argued with Mrs. Wang.

Naturally, they broke up unhappy. Mrs. Wang got up and left under the pretext of dealing with matters, and Aunt Xue also left directly.

When she left, she was actually a little nervous, but when Mrs. Wang sent Caiyun over, her heart sank.He doesn't understand business matters, but Aunt Xue knows very well what the Princess's Mansion is. Her son is in contact with the county king, and the spice business is very stable. It may not be as good as others in the future.
