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

Baochai was startled, forced a smile, and said, "Xiangling? I'm afraid she is too weak to be trusted by her mother. What's more, my brother promised me..."

Aunt Xue didn't wait for her to finish, and quickly cut it off: "You kid is talking nonsense again, a pretty kid like Xiangling, why bother to curse her? What do you know about being too weak?"

Baochai had always advised her mother, and often heard Aunt Xue praise her knowledge, but it was the first time for her to say "nonsense" and "don't understand" in a serious manner, and she was suddenly stunned.Aunt Xue took the opportunity to say a long story: "I think Xiangling is very good. He was caught by your brother when he was in Jinling that day. Now these days he is in the way of your face, so he doesn't mention it. However, knowing the child is better than the mother, I know he must still be thinking about it. Your brother is getting older, and his actions are becoming more and more ridiculous. You, by that time, wouldn’t you have let down your usual competitive spirit, and it’s too late to regret it! The best solution now is to take Xiangling into the room, and put such a beautiful figure in the room. Take it easy for a few days, take it easy. I know what you mean, you have always liked Xiangling, for fear of wronging her, now I have specially arranged a banquet, and made her a legitimate concubine, you are very worthy of her Already!"

"Besides, when your father was there, you had five or two months of money every month. Later, the aunts at home were sent away. I said that there is no need for a rule for the three of us. If you want to use it, just ask me. It's your job to prepare. Who knows that you are a thin-skinned child, and you never ask for it, but you don't know what it's like to complain behind your back. Now that your brother has a bright face My concubine, all the rules must be redrawn, and I will give you six or two months of money in one month, are you happy?"

In the past, it was forced by reason, but here it began to lure again.It's just that Baochai is underestimated too much, how can he take this mere six taels of silver every month in his eyes.Besides, when did Baochai complain about such a trivial matter?

Xue Baochai hurriedly said: "Where did the mother say that? When did the daughter have such thoughts?"

Aunt Xue ignored it, and said to herself: "Six taels of silver is already more than Sister Feng's monthly money. I will give Xiangling three or two monthly money, which is more decent than Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou here. "

Baochai couldn't laugh or cry, she had to clarify first that she respected Aunt Xue very much, and Aunt Xue treated her very well, how could she complain in her heart, and then explained the pros and cons, saying that she wanted to revive the monthly rules, or follow the old rules, or get along with Jia The ranks in the mansion are similar, so that the relatives will not look bad. Finally, Fang slowly said to Aunt Xue: "My daughter still feels that my brother takes a concubine, so there is no need to rush..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Aunt Xue suddenly slammed the bed heavily: "Forget it, forget it, what's the point of me living like this, it's okay for a son to be incompetent, and even my daughter has started to disobedient. How about hitting her head to death?" It's over!"

Baochai was so frightened that she quickly knelt down in front of her and listened to her scolding with snot and tears: "Outsiders praise you for your exquisiteness, why can't you tell the difference between relatives and estrangements at this time? How can you favor outsiders to embarrass your brother?" ? Could it be that you are possessed by spirits and are confused?"

Baochai didn't dare to say anything, but Aunt Xue sneered and said, "You stop me and don't ask your brother to accept Xiangling. I guessed it. You read so many idle books when you were young, so I said no." Okay, now that you're older, you're getting more and more confused. You must see that Xiangling is beautiful, you want to be nice to her, and want to be with her for a long time, just like your sister-in-law in Jia's mansion, right? What did you learn? No, try to learn some embarrassing things. Even if your father is alive, he will be mad at you. Then Mrs. Li deserves to be a widow. Yes. Now you also want to be a funeral star, it doesn’t count if you kill your father, but you still want to kill me and your brother?”

This is nonsense, but it is true.At first Baochai was baffled by Aunt Xue's words, but when she was in a daze, she heard her mention her dead father, and became even more angry, insisting that her father was killed by Baochai.But when Aunt Xue was furious, seeing that her words were all in one piece, she was even more indisputable.Baochai's heart was worse than eating Coptis chinensis, so she just said: "A daughter's heart can only be learned from heaven and earth..." But she was already choked up and couldn't continue.

At this moment, there was a knock at the door, but Xiangling broke in regardless of Wen Xing's persuasion, walked all the way to Aunt Xue, and shouted as she walked, "Madam, don't blame the girl! The girl is just Have pity on me, there is absolutely no other meaning! The girl has always been cautious in her words and deeds, and the word virtuous is the most important thing. How can a person with such a low life deserve to have anything to do with the girl? If I insult the girl's reputation, I will not be able to atone for my sin even if I die ah!"

Aunt Xue knew that Baochai was the key to accepting Xiangling, so she secretly planned in the middle of the night, and ordered Wen Xing to ask her to hold Xiangling and listen to the corner, in order to force Xiangling to come out and promise Baochai. Chai has nothing to say.She knew her daughter Gao Jie well, and she also believed that she would not do such a disgraceful thing like Li Wan's. She deliberately talked things out of the way in order to create a realistic atmosphere.Now that she saw that Xiangling really appeared as she expected, she was smug in her heart, but her face became more and more stern, and she forced her to ask: "Since you have nothing to do with the girl, why does she not want the uncle to accept you and do everything possible to stop it? Why are you acting like that?" The appearance of being unwilling to marry, could it be that you have been wronged by being my son's concubine?"

Xiangling had many thoughts in a flash.She knew in her heart Baochai's care and pity for her all the time, and she also knew that in front of Aunt Xue, there was nothing Baochai could do at this moment.Thinking of this, Xiangling was obviously forced into a desperate situation, but Xiangling calmed down, kowtowed respectfully to Aunt Xue, and said loudly: "This is my wife's flattery, Xiangling is too happy, how dare you say I am wronged. This kind of ungratefulness is like a wolf-hearted dog, and Xiangling is not that kind of person. Everything is up to my wife." Originally, he wanted to squeeze a few smiles on his face, but he only felt that his face was stiff.

Aunt Xue was already satisfied, and asked again: "Really willing?" Seeing Xiangling nodding slowly, she hurriedly got up to help her up herself, with a happy face, as if she had never lost her temper like this before.

Baochai is listening, knowing the mother is like a girl, how can she fail to guess the key?So I gradually felt discouraged, and when I heard Xiangling say "everything is up to my wife", I was completely dumbfounded.A distraught voice was roaring beside her ear, yelling at her that she was the No. [-] incompetent bastard in Tianzi, and mocking her for working so hard to fetch water from a bamboo basket, but she couldn't hear anything.She seemed to be alone in the white snow field with thin clothes and thin shoes, and the cold slowly seeped out from the bone marrow.

I don't know how long it took for Baochai to come back to her senses, but she saw Wen Xing supporting her on the way back to the bedroom.Baochai was still a little confused, so she just looked straight at it, but saw the lantern in Wen Xing's hand flickering, as if she was laughing at her.

Suddenly, Wen Xing felt that she stopped and said a few words behind her.Baochai was in a daze, and couldn't make out what she was saying. Just in panic, Wen Xing turned around with her help, and saw Xiangling chasing after her with a lantern.Baochai gathered herself together, and finally heard two words clearly, but it was Xiangling who said, "Wen Xing, go back and serve your wife first. I'll take the girl back to her room."

Wen Xing knew that Xiangling was going to be promoted to aunt in a few days, so she was envious and jealous of her, and she dared not refuse, and she was a little flattered. Even the younger sister didn't dare to call out, so she hurriedly said with a smile: "That's right. I'm confused. Now that sister Xiangling is overjoyed, I should let you catch up on the old days." Then he winked and said: "Don't worry, I I have always respected the girl, and I also respect you, Sister Xiangling, so you will definitely not leak the news. Besides, it is convenient for others, it is convenient for yourself." It turned out that this girl was so confused that she took the nonsense she heard when she was listening to the corner as truth up.

Baochai was hit by this blow and ignored it for a while, but Xiangling blushed and wanted to argue, but was too embarrassed to say anything. When Wen Xing was far away, Xiang Baochai said, "Sister Wen Xing thinks it is Confused. The girl is like the moon in the sky, noble and pure, how can Xiangling be worthy of it? I have to explain this nonsense to her tomorrow, so as not to tarnish the girl."

Baochai managed to wake up a little bit, and was arguing with the yin and yang voice next to her ear, and saw the voice yelling endlessly, so she shouted: "Be quiet for a while. This is the end of the matter. Complaining will not help, but think about it." Is there any remedy to be serious. What's more, you always yell like this, I can't deal with it in front of others, others think I'm crazy, don't you be implicated?" The voice stopped being noisy.But because of this, he didn't hear clearly what Xiangling was talking about, so he could only say vaguely: "No need. It's because I made things simple earlier, so I made you happy in vain."

Xiangling's face became a little hot, and she said repeatedly: "What did the girl say? The girl treats each other like this these days, Xiangling sees it in her eyes and engraves it in her heart. Now the sky is not fulfilling people's wishes, and Xiangling's life is suffering, so I can't complain My wife thinks highly of Xiangling, so Xiangling should listen to my wife's orders, try my best to persuade the uncle, and share the girl's worries." As he was speaking, the tears in his eyes couldn't help but fall down.

Seeing Xiangling's appearance, Baochai felt more pity for her, and suddenly took her hand and asked, "Tell me the truth, are you really unwilling to marry my brother? If you really don't If I want, I still have a way, but the days to come will be more difficult."
