The news of Xue Pan being arrested and sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice never leaked out, so Aunt Xue and others knew nothing about his whereabouts.Seeing that he hadn't come back all night, Aunt Xue frowned and sighed to Baochai: "Your brother doesn't know where to run wild, the capital is no better than Jinling, and he's a stingy person, so I'm afraid he will offend others." I don’t even know about sin and suffering.”

Xue Baochai comforted in a soft voice: "Don't say that, Mom, brother, even if he has a lot of faults, at least he has a straightforward temperament. In addition, he usually spends a lot of money and is straightforward, so no one will make things difficult for him."

Aunt Xue smiled and said: "After all, it is my son. What you said really reassured me. It's just that your brother didn't come back all night. I asked someone to inquire, and only then did I know that he went out for a long time yesterday. No servant asked to take it with me. Where can I find him now?"

Xue Baochai chuckled and said: "Mom, don't be so anxious! Could it be that someone else can take advantage of my brother? It's nothing more than that he fell asleep after drinking outside, so it may be too late. I don't know. Mom And wait patiently, it won't be long before you should quietly search for it and no one will find it back."

The mother and daughter of the Xue family were talking quietly in the room. Yinger and the girl named Xiangling whom Xue Pan insisted on buying were sitting on the steps and playing with flower ropes.At this moment, Jin Chuan'er beside Mrs. Wang smiled and took Ying'er's hand and said, "Where are your wives and girls? Why are you playing outside?"

Ying'er smiled and was about to speak, but Xue Baochai might have heard it in the inner room.He opened the curtain with a smile and asked, "Why are you here at this time? But what orders does Auntie have?"

"That's right!" Jin Chuan'er bowed to Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai who came out later, and then said with a smile: "Our wife has a new kind of tea, which she says she has never tasted before, and it is a tribute from Siam. There are only two cans in the whole house, please ask the wife and the girl to taste it."

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "It's hard to worry about my sister. You just stand there, and I will come after changing clothes."

Baochai also smiled and took Aunt Xue's arm, and they went into the inner room together to change clothes without mentioning it.

But when Jin Chuaner saw the two of them enter the house, and saw Xiangling's amiable appearance and dexterous appearance in a blink of an eye, she couldn't help but click her tongue in admiration.Holding Yinger's hand again, he lowered his voice and asked her, "Is this the one named Xiangling?"

Yinger nodded, and beckoned Xiangling to come over and show Jin Chuaner a closer look.Jin Chuan'er sighed: "It's really a good character and appearance, which compares us all. It's strange that Mr. Xue is determined to buy you. I said that I don't know what it looks like. Poor Mr. Xue." I brought it here. Now that I have met, I know that Uncle Xue has good eyesight. The younger sister is really good-looking, and she is no worse than the young lady."

Xiangling blinked timidly, and said softly: "I can't take my sister's compliment."

Jin Chuan'er saw that she was good-looking, and she spoke softly, with a smile on her face, "It's not me, Mr. Xue is also a rough person anyway, if my sister is entrusted to give birth to a good family, she will go to our second master Bao tomorrow." It’s Qiao Zong’er who works as an errand in the house!”

Ying'er hurriedly asked the reason, and Jin Chuan'er took out Jia Baoyu's argument that "daughters are made of flesh and blood, and men are made of flesh and blood", and finally covered his lips and smiled: "Our The second master Bao is the one who loves the fragrance and loves the jade the most. It is Xiren's ordinary appearance, and he is also the most important maid in his house. What's more, sister, you were born so well. It won't turn anymore!"

Xiang Ling's face turned red when she said that, and Ying'er couldn't stop laughing softly.

Xue Baochai changed into a semi-new honey-coloured double-breasted jacket, with only two gold hairpins inserted in her temple hair.Seeing them talking and laughing, I couldn't help but twitched the corners of my lips slightly, and said with a smile: "Say something interesting, let me listen to it."

Jin Chuan'er hurriedly stepped forward to congratulate her, and said with a smile, "It's just a few of us talking about the things between the maids, just joking around. If we tell the girl, it won't pollute the girl's tranquility."

Ying'er also smiled and said, "That's right, girl, are you ready? Shall we leave now?"

Just as she was talking, Aunt Xue also tidied up, smiled and took Xue Baochai's hand, and the two of them went to the courtyard where Mrs. Wang lived.Jin Chuan'er and Ying'er followed behind them, winked silently twice, each understood, and put the previous words down.

When we arrived at Mrs. Wang's house, the fumigation cage had already been burned, and the house was warm, and the heat was very comfortable.

Wang Xifeng stood up and held Aunt Xue's hand, let her sit on the kang, said with a smile: "Auntie can make us wait."

After sitting down with a smile, Aunt Xue saw Wang Xifeng graciously holding a teacup for her, she also joked with Madam Wang with a smile: "After all, she is Feng girl, she is smart and organized. Don't rush to treat me so graciously, Why are my relatives and flesh and blood so disrespectful. Poor thing, this cup of tea feels hot even when I hold it, so don't burn you."

Wang Xifeng just smiled and said nothing, Mrs. Wang lowered her eyelids and said softly: "She is a junior, so she should respect you. Don't say you are her aunt, even if you are her aunt regardless of Zhu'er's relationship. .”

Wang Xifeng's expression did not change, she still smiled and said: "Madam is right, so don't refuse, Auntie."

Aunt Xue also pursed her lips and smiled, took a sip of tea before saying: "This taste is different from the tea we usually eat at home. I tasted nothing but that, how about my sister?"

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "I don't like to eat these, but it's a reward from the palace, just taste it."

Sitting on the chair, Wang Xifeng smiled softly and said, "I tasted it, but it tasted bland. I said it was the tea that Siam paid tribute to. I think it's not as good as the ones I usually eat at home. I just don't know, how did my aunt and sister taste?"

"It can be seen that Feng girl's mouth is too tricky on weekdays." Xue Baochai took two sips of tea, put down the tea cup and pointed at Wang Xifeng with a smile, "Since this is a tribute tea, it can be seen that it has its own benefits. If you eat a lot of Longjing tea, you will feel weak after drinking this kind of tea."

Wang Xifeng's eyes flickered slightly, and the smile on her face froze. After Xue Baochai finished speaking, she smiled and said, "Sure enough, sister, you are educated. I don't even know a few big characters on weekdays. How do I know this? If Tell me to tell the difference between good and bad tea, I just choose what I like, so how can I care about these things! But if I drink ten pots of tea a day, I can save it.”

Xue Baochai shook his head and sighed, "It's really hard to eat without being able to read and write. There is a saying in Lu Yu's "Tea Classics", "Tea is for drinking, and the taste is cold. It is best for people who are frugal and frugal." From time to time, the production is not refined, mixed with wild plants, and drinking will cause illness.' It can be seen that tea should not be eaten too much, because it has a cold air, and women eat it for a long time, which is contrary to the way of health preservation."

Although there was still a smile on Wang Xifeng's face, the smile didn't reach his eyes.They sat for half a day, and when it was time for lunch, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai excused themselves and went back to Lixiangyuan. Although Wang Xifeng wanted to leave, Mrs. Wang forced her to keep her.

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue are direct sisters of the same mother. This time Aunt Xue went to Beijing to seek refuge. Because Wang Ziteng was promoted to a post in the capital of another province, the Han family was not in Beijing.Therefore, Aunt Xue came to join Jia's family. Although Mrs. Wang liked the arrival of her direct sister, she wanted to know how much money the Xue family still had.Because of this, when Mother Jia asked Wang Xifeng to arrange for Aunt Xue's family to live in Pear Fragrance Courtyard after learning that Xue's family was coming, Mrs. Wang remained silent.

It should be said that the Xue family is the descendant of Ziwei Sheren Xue Gong, who has received money from the inner mansion, and has been an imperial merchant for generations.It's a pity that Xue's father left early, leaving Xiao Wang's orphan and widow living a difficult life.Although his family has tens of millions of wealth, none of the descendants are successful.

Mrs. Wang thought about it, and because she saw Baochai's description of her appearance, she felt that it was the best thing to do in person.Therefore, I am very concerned about Aunt Xue's family, and often ask people to invite Aunt Xue, mother and daughter, to come and have a laugh.

When she learned that Aunt Xue was going to Beijing with her family, Mrs. Wang also wondered if she had something to hide from herself.It's just because Mrs. Wang knows her little sister's temperament, Jinling is a rich and gentle town, and she is rich in millions, besides, the Xue family in Jinling flatters his family, how come she is willing to come to the capital to suffer at this time.

Later, when Aunt Xue's family came to Jia's mansion, she made insinuations, and Aunt Xue told the whole story.

It turned out that because Xue Pan beat someone to death in Jinling City and offended the officials, he only paid for it with money, and ignored the rest.Aunt Xue was afraid that things would change if it was too late, so she hurriedly asked people to bring all the things they had packed earlier, and the whole family came to the capital to join her brothers and sisters.

"What is Baoyu doing these past few days?"

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Brother Bao reads and writes on weekdays, and I heard that he has benefited a lot. Sister Shi came here yesterday, and I laughed that he has been working very hard these days."

Mrs. Wang frowned slightly upon hearing this.She never liked Shi Xiangyun's close relationship with Jia Baoyu, because the old lady was blindly spoiled, and took Shi Xiangyun to live in the mansion for ten days a month.Jia Baoyu lived in Jiamu's courtyard again, and now that she's grown up, she still hangs out among her sisters.Shi Xiangyun was even clinging to Jia Baoyu all day long, before and after "Love Brother", hearing her upset and irritable, a nameless fire burned her chest hot.

Wang Xifeng pretended not to know, and insisted on picking up rare things about Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu to tell Mrs. Wang, "Speaking of yesterday afternoon, Sister Shi put on Brother Bao's clothes and changed into Brother Bao's soap boots. She gathered her long hair into a braid, and tied her head with a tie. She looked exactly like Brother Bao. The old lady Xide also said that the two of them standing together seemed like biological twins. Like brothers."

"Who is this word? Just drag it out!" Mrs. Wang became angrier the more she heard it. The old lady's tone seemed to want to marry Shi Xiangyun to Jia Baoyu. She must not let the old lady get her wish!

Wang Xifeng asked puzzledly: "The old lady said it herself, and in front of many people, everyone followed the old lady's wishes and made a few jokes. Fortunately, Brother Bao and Sister Shi Da are young. , can’t even talk about these.”

Mrs. Wang had no other choice but to ask instead: "I think your sister Bao is very good. She has a smooth body and elegant manners. I think she is stable and generous in her daily behavior. Besides, your aunt is For a family who knows everything, it would be a good thing for our two families to be close relatives."

If in the past, Wang Xifeng would never have helped her drag Xue's family into trouble after seeing Mrs. Wang's indifference.But today, seeing that Xue Baochai didn't show any respect for her in words and demeanor, he opened his mouth and called her "Feng girl".Wang Xifeng sneered in her heart, she didn't know that in Xue Baochai's heart, she didn't even deserve to be called "Sister Feng" or "Sister-in-law Zhu"!Since that's the case, don't blame her for being ruthless!

"Madam is right, it's just that the old lady... I'm afraid she disagrees!"

"That old godly woman—! Who?!"

There was a sudden noise outside the house, Mrs. Wang quickly stopped talking, got up and looked out the window!
