[Red House Chai Dai] Salted Pork Knuckle, Crab Rice Wine

"Master Miaoyu?" Mother Jia asked in surprise, "How could Master Miaoyu have friendship with Bao girl?"

For a moment, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng and others looked at each other in blank dismay.Huiniang from Suzhou lived in Jia's mansion under her name, so she had to hide this kind of thing from outsiders. How could they, the three people in power in the inner house of Jia's mansion, not know the detailed reason?

This kind of noble lady in a deep house is the most eye-catching. If Hui Niang hadn't been sought after by a group of academicians from the Imperial Academy at a young age, how could Mrs. Wang have personally decided to write a post when she was invited into the Grand View Garden? How can you talk and laugh when you go to Quicui'an to taste tea.They still wanted to look up to Miaoyu, but they couldn't help being shocked that such a withdrawn and out-of-date person like Miaoyu suddenly proposed to participate in Baochai's banquet.

In their view, although Baochai was persecuted by her biological mother and had nowhere to go, but she was willing to degenerate into marrying Feng Yuan of Jinling, and she might be like this for the rest of her life.They disdain to be with her.But it is such a disdainful Baochai who wins Miaoyu's heart more than them. Doesn't it make them suspicious, envious, suspicious and uneasy?

Aunt Xue didn't know Miaoyu's origin.The fewer people who know about such secrets, the better, and Mrs. Wang didn't intend to tell her about them.Therefore, when Aunt Xue heard about it, she sneered and said, "What is she going to do as a monk? Could it be that she can't bear the rules and precepts, and she plans to return to the vulgar, and let that girl Baochai find her a son-in-law?" He smiled disapprovingly.It's just that she laughed twice in succession, feeling that the atmosphere on the stage was extraordinarily weird, as if the scene was cold, so she didn't dare to laugh again.

Seeing Mother Jia and Baochai join forces, Yao Jing knew it was a rare honour, but she didn't bother. After everything was settled, she and Sun Mu supported Baochai and left proudly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out, she saw Xiao Hong quietly came up to report: "I just found out the news, it turns out that my wife is so eager to marry our girl, for no other reason than to take our girl's dowry. Xue The uncle is pointing to this dowry as a dowry gift. My wife knows that most of our family's servants are biased towards girls, so she dare not speak out, but secretly asked the Wang family to help make a deal, and fool us as dead people. The matter is almost done, I just got wind of it." While talking, he stomped his feet and sighed, feeling very uneasy and sorry that Xue Pan's marriage was kept secret for so long.

Baochai was annoyed and funny when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "She is busy, how can you know? It is not easy to know at this time." Then he asked: "I don't know where my future sister-in-law is from." ?” Although she was forced to come here by Aunt Xue, she still has a kinship with the Xue family, so she is very concerned about Xue Pan’s future partner.

Xiaohong lowered her head and thought for a while, no matter how smart she is, how can she know so much about the outside world?It was inevitable that the parrot would parrot it as it was: "I heard that they are also from the imperial merchants. People in the capital call them 'Osmanthus Xia's family'. It is said that the bonsai everywhere in the palace belong to their family." She also knew that Baochai cared about her brother. Zhi Xin, looking at her expression, added: "I heard people say that this Xia girl is like a flower, the most gentle and docile person."

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had intentions, so Baochai immediately became anxious.Xiaohong only said that the girl from the Xia family was like a flower, the most gentle and docile, but she knew that this person was Xia Jingui.In her previous life, Aunt Xue was looking at her family's wealth and was eager to arrange this marriage, but in the end she married a troublemaker.Firstly, Xue Pan didn't live up to expectations, and even dared to mess with Baochan, the maid next to Xia Jingui; secondly, Xia Jingui's deliberate schemes made the entire Xue family a mess, let alone the wealth of his family, and Xia Jingui's daily love of duck brains, etc. It is not a small expense to waste good duck meat wantonly.Aunt Xue is old, and she is the most stingy. Xia Jingui's spoiling things makes her feel distressed.Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law often have quarrels.When Baochai was around, she was still able to help her mother from the sidelines, suppressing one or two things. Later, Baochai married, and Xia Jingui was the only one in Xue's family. Aunt Xue regretted it too late. Come back after marrying such a troublemaker.

Thinking of this, Baochai went back again regardless of the fact that the relationship between mother and daughter had been severed, and said to Aunt Xue: "My daughter knows that mother wants to marry a girl from the Xia family with sweet-scented osmanthus in place of her brother. Please think twice, a girl from the Xia family must definitely marry her." mustn't..."

When Aunt Xue saw Baochai go and come back, she only thought she felt remorse, or thought it was a disadvantage to go out of the house, and came back to ask for her clothes. Pan's wedding is coming.It must be known that Xue Pan's marriage is Aunt Xue's proud work. She found out that Osmanthus Xia's family has only one girl. After all, there is no one to inherit this wealth. So he decided to marry Xia Jingui and eat his fortune to make up for the shortfall. Besides, after seeing Xia Jingui a few times, Xue Pan felt that the girl was gentle and shy, and she was the most lovely and amiable person, so he clamored to marry her.Under the attack of the two sides, Aunt Xue was extremely determined to marry Xia Jingui for Xue Pan, but it was a year or two earlier than in her previous life.

Marrying Xia Jingui was a proud thing secretly planned by Aunt Xue. She drove Baochai all the way to become a concubine in the palace, forcing her to leave the house without any dowry. How can there be Baochai to dissuade this matter?

Aunt Xue's face turned serious at the moment, she ignored Baochai, and smiled at Mrs. Wang Ziteng: "Hey, whose girl is this? She has no rules. We are talking here, and she rushes in rashly. My Xue family's family affairs are pointing. Where is the person at the door? Why didn't you stop her? Are they all dead?"

Mrs. Wang Ziteng sighed quietly: "Baochai, don't say that you are no longer part of the Xue family. Marriage matters are decided by your parents. Pan'er is the only male in the Xue family, and his marriage is even more so. It's a girl from Xue's family, still unable to speak. You are usually the most polite child, what's the matter now?"

Baochai said anxiously: "There are many strange things about this marriage, and it must not be allowed! It doesn't matter if you are willing to listen to my words or not, in short, if you regret it in the future, you will be too late!"

Aunt Xue only felt that she had raised Baochai for more than ten years, and had been aggrieved for more than ten years, until now she had the absolute upper hand. , smiled and said: "The Xue family's family affairs, don't bother outsiders. This girl, please go back. If you break into the house privately, if I am serious, I will send you to the government and ask for a crime. This shame will be thrown away." If you’re too old, if you don’t, I’ll have my servants beat you out with sticks, what face do you have, girl?”

Aunt Xue's words made sense, but Baochai was at a loss for words, her face turned pale with anger, but she couldn't speak.She was full of grievances, and wanted to tell her Aunt Xue's experiences and sorrows after marrying Xia Jingui, but she didn't know how to speak.In the midst of anxiety, Yao Jing has already rushed in, her eyes sharp like a knife, she turned her face on Aunt Xue's face once, smiled and took Baochai's hand, and said to her: "Good words are hard to persuade a ghost who wants to die. Gods and Buddhas are so merciful, and they can only save those who are destined. Baochai, even if that person is your former mother, you still have to see if you can save her. Right now, she is only thinking about it, and no one can hold her back. , why do you waste your energy and end up with her complaining?" While talking, he and Sun Mu dragged Baochai out forcibly.

Baochai struggled desperately, and said to Yao Jing, "Other people don't know, but you should know. Why did you stop me?"

Yao Jing calmly said, "I know you know, but other people don't know that you know. Even if others know that you know, what you know may not happen. Moreover, even if it happened, you may not be able to do it in the future." remedy."

Listening to her saying a lot of "know" and "don't know", Baochai seemed to be in a fog at first, but when Yao Jing said "it may not be impossible to remedy", Baochai's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, even if married If Xia Jingui came in, at most he would bully Aunt Xue.According to Aunt Xue's temperament, when she encounters troubles, she has to lick her face and beg Baochai. At that time, she will just be taken out to live with her, and she will be offered food and drink. I am afraid that at that time she will Low eyebrows are pleasing to the eye, but it is easier to talk and do things.

Baochai thought of this, and Fang gradually settled down.

Sun Mu smiled from the side: "What charades are you two playing? I don't know if you know this, it sounds so boring."

Yao Jing quickly prevaricated with his words, Baochai just smiled and said nothing, Sun Muhe is a kind of person who never pushes others to make things difficult for him, so he expected that there must be a conspiracy between the two of them, so he didn't ask too many questions, he was frank in his heart and knew it all. These two people are my dearest relatives and loved ones, let alone think too much about it.

Baochai has lived in Sun Mu's house ever since.Yao Jing is a hot celebrity, even if Aunt Xue is ignorant and wants to renege on her debts, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang Ziteng will not watch her die like this, but within a few days, the accountant of Xue's family personally delivered the silver and other things from the farm , and delivered it in front of Baochai.Baochai asked how to deal with Daiyu's share. The accountant of Xue's family had always admired the eldest lady and pitied her experience. Received.Baochai knew that Yuanyang was doing things properly and was one of the few capable people around Jiamu, so she was relieved.

Yao Jing knew that Baochai's mood was extremely disturbed at this time, and she was reluctant to take a positive attitude even to prepare for her marriage, let alone other things, so she took 1 taels of silver and bought two Home farm, just feel like a hot potato, wishing to hand it over to Baochai immediately, let her plan, but resisted not to speak at this time.

A few days later, Mother Jia sent Yuanyang and Wang Xifeng sent Ping'er. The two maids went hand in hand and personally delivered the money they had collected last time, ordering it in front of Yao Jing. .Yao Jing was afraid that Baochai would be uncomfortable, so she ordered the little maid to come to Baochai with the silver, and said to her: "They are willing to collect the money, it must be for your sake, don't worry..."

But Baochai waved her hand and said to her: "That's all for the old lady and Mrs. Wang. The silver in their boxes is piled up like a hill, but I don't need to take a few out of them for nothing. It's just these maids. It’s not easy for them to earn money, and once you have collected their money, you have to take responsibility and give them a hand in the future. How much do you know about all these things? Can you think about how to do it?”
