Xing Xiuyan didn't know about these things.For her, the Jia family, the Xue family, and the Wang family were left behind by her when she followed her father to Shandong. Mrs. Xing was her aunt, and she was troubled by affection, but Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin were with her. irrelevant.

Xing Xiuyan never expected that she would be blocked by Xue Baochai on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Xue Baochai came to Xing's house in the name of New Year's greetings, and he came early in the morning.According to the custom, in this first month, unless it is a feud, there is no reason to keep people who pay New Year's greetings out.

The Xue family is not the enemy of the Xing family, so Xue Baochai can only be invited in.

It has to be said that Xue Baochai, a woman who grew up in a rich and wealthy nest like Xue Baochai, has already paid attention to her appearance. If she is not clear about the experience and current situation of the Jia family and Xue family, just look at Xue Baochai's neat new clothes and still few A few pieces of jewelry are very expensive, Xing's wife, Xing Xiuyan, mother and daughter may think that she is still the daughter of the four big families in Jinling where pearls are like mud and gold.

After meeting Xing's wife, Xue Baochai's eyes turned to Xing Xiuyan, and he also sighed secretly.

The world changes, nothing more than this.

The girls who were pampered and spoiled in the Grand View Garden are now reduced to mud, falling into the dust and being abused by others.Instead, it was the daughter of this small family who they had looked down upon before, who became a high-ranking young lady.

Recalling the first half of my life, it suddenly seemed like a dream.

Xue Baochai knew at a very young age that her elder brother could not support the family business, so since her father's death, she assisted her mother in supporting her natal family.Then she soon discovered that as a woman, especially a virgin, it was too difficult to support a family like the Xue family.With the education she has received, there is only one way she can think of - to borrow strength.

Whether it is to participate in the selection of senior female officials who serve the princess or princess, or to marry a good family, they are all optional, and the essence of these options is to leverage.

Before entering Beijing, Xue Baochai believed that with her talent and appearance, she would be able to get what she wanted.

But after entering Beijing, the reality hit her hard one after another.

Participated in the selection of talented people who served the princess and princess, but they didn't even touch the palace gate; I wanted to marry a good family, but I attended several banquets held by Wang Ziteng's house, but I was disgusted by others, and I left with hope a few times , came back in despair.

Later, Xue Baochai understood that she had no choice but Jia Baoyu's embroidered pillow—unless she was willing to marry a commoner.

When it comes to Jia Baoyu, Xue Baochai is also full of sadness.This guy is full of flowers and weeds everywhere, men and women are not afraid not only to hire the maids in the house early, but even the maids in the grandmother and mother's house dare to be contaminated, he doesn't like reading, and he hates the economic career that she values ​​very much.

The second son, who is only the second son, doesn't know how to make progress. If she doesn't have an imperial concubine sister, where is her ideal husband-in-law? !Seeing how gentle he is to every woman, Xue Baochai can only comfort herself: as long as she treats him well, a gentle and affectionate man like him will eventually remember her good, and her married life is What doesn't go well at the beginning will eventually come to fruition.

But the result?

Xue Baochai actually knew very well that Jia Baoyu had never liked her, and Jia Zheng also looked down on her, not to mention Jia's mother, who has always been a stone in the way of a happy marriage.

From Shi Xiangyun to Xue Baoqin and Xing Xiuyan, these girls were all pushed out by Mother Jia to compare with her, as if deliberately using these girls to warn her not to wishful thinking.

If it is compared with Lin Daiyu, although Xue Baochai feels that he is not inferior to the other party, he is convinced to lose, because Lin Daiyu is the top in terms of appearance, bearing, knowledge, and self-cultivation. It's the servant of the household department, Jane is in the heart of the emperor, she has nothing to say when she loses to Lin Daiyu.

But what about Shi Xiangyun, Xue Baoqin and Xing Xiuyan?Both of Shi Xiangyun's parents died, but she is just an orphan girl, who is also reckless and always speaks out. How can such a person compare to her?There is also Xue Baoqin, her cousin, whose mother clan is far inferior to her!

Then there is Xing Xiuyan.

When Xing Xiuyan came to Jia's house for the first time, everyone in Jia's family, from the wives and grandmas at the top to the maids and servants below, regarded her as an autumn wind. Xue Baochai at that time actually treated Xing Xiuyan similarly to Grandma Liu later.Being compared with such a person, Xue Baochai only felt insulted!

At that time, Xue Baochai's heart was full of resentment.

Because of this, when she heard Xing Xiuyan say that she was not good at poetry, she felt disdainful and gloated.

In fact, she really wanted to tell Mother Jia—so you like such a person?

But today, Xue Baochai has to admit that Mother Jia's vision is really vicious.

Think about it, how much the Xing family has earned from the capital this year with only leafy vegetables!This ability to take care of the family business is enough for her to stand out from the crowd and make her a satisfactory candidate for a daughter-in-law.

Seeing Xue Baochai standing obediently and quietly after presenting the ceremony, his behavior was as dignified and generous as before, and Mrs. Xing was also in a very complicated mood.

When she went to Jia's house for the first time, she heard the name of this treasure girl.At that time, to her, this precious girl was the daughter of a wealthy family on the cloud, and even Wang Shanbao's family praised this precious girl in front of her back then.But who would have thought that in just a few years, the two families lost their stature.

With that in mind, there was still a smile on his face.

Xing's wife said: "It's really unexpected that Miss Bao actually remembered that we came here to pay New Year's greetings. How is the house? How is Lingtang?"

Xue Baochai replied respectfully: "Please trouble Madam, my mother is fine, it's at home..."

"Why, what happened?"

Xing's wife was most worried about Xue Baochai asking for help.She didn't want to deal with Xue Baochai, a shrimp who was obviously too powerful.

"Yes, it's my sister, she has retired."

"When... when did this happen?"

"It was years ago." Xue Baochai raised his head, "I heard that it happened before Xiaonian."

Xing's wife hurriedly looked at her daughter, who also looked puzzled, Fang said: "Well, didn't it mean that the Mei family had the intention of retiring in the old year? I also heard people say it."

"Yes. Only this time, the Mei family found out that my sister was adopted as a foster daughter by my aunt."

Mrs. Xing was stunned for a while before she realized that the aunt Xue Baochai was talking about was Mrs. Wang.

In this regard, the painting styles of the Xue family and the Jia family are different.In Jia's family, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang have orders, so they are wives. If they don't have orders or are not senior enough, they are grandmas.Although Aunt Xue's seniority and age are sufficient, but because there is no imperial seal, she is called Aunt Xue by Jia Baoyu and Grandma Xue by the servants of Jia's family.

Suddenly, it sounded like calling some old aunt.

And Mrs. Wang is my aunt in Xue Baochai's mouth.

Xing's wife said: "So that's how it is."

Thinking of Mrs. Wang's current reputation, it is not difficult to understand the origin of this excuse.

Xing's wife said: "Then, what are Lingtang's plans for the future?"

"My mother, take me back to the south."

It was very difficult for Xue Baochai to say this sentence.She knew exactly what was behind those words.

"At first, my mother wanted to come here in person, but she didn't want to catch the wind and cold the day before yesterday, so she let me come here alone."

When Xing's wife heard this, she became nervous: "Is this so? Is it serious?"

"It doesn't matter. The doctor said that my mother is in good health, as long as she takes her medicine on time, there is nothing to worry about."

When Mrs. Xing heard about it, she sighed and said: "That's good, that's good. It's rare for you to come, stay and eat before leaving. By the way, you and our girl are old acquaintances in the boudoir, and there must be many I have something to say. I won't keep you. Girl, you can take Bao girl to your room to talk."

Xing Xiuyan hurriedly got up to answer, sent her mother away, and then took Xue Baochai to the back garden.

Seeing the familiar and unfamiliar scenery along the way, Xue Baochai sighed again.

She has been here before.The former owner of this house was the Lai family, and the Lai family used to entertain the female family members of the Jia family here. She was lucky to be with her, and she once visited this large garden, which is half the size of the Grand View Garden.

Today, things are different.Jia's family fell into pieces, and Lai's family disappeared. Although this Meiyang Meilun is not as well-regulated as the Grand View Garden, the scenery is not inferior to the garden of the Grand View Garden at all, and it has also ushered in a new owner.

Xue Baochai's mood was extremely complicated, and she was even a little lost in thought. Before she knew it, Liu Xingju had arrived.

Seeing this Liuxing residence, Xue Baochai was filled with emotions.

In fact, when she saw this garden for the first time, she had such an impression: this garden was built in comparison with the Grand View Garden.Just as Xinghua Village occupies the largest area in the Grand View Garden, there is also a farm in this garden, which is a circle smaller than Xinghua Village.

The farm in this garden is the residence of Xing Xiuyan.

Sitting down in the small flower hall for guests, Xue Baochai looked around and said, "This place is quite different from what I remembered."

After the words were out of his mouth, Xue Baochai immediately realized that he had made a mistake.

What kind of family is the Lai family, how can it be compared with the Xing family.

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said, "I even forgot that Sister Bao once went to Lai's house."

Seeing that Xing Xiuyan didn't care, Xue Baochai also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes. Things changed in a blink of an eye. I was still not convinced when the old lady praised my sister, but now I know that the old lady is well-informed."

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said: "Sister Bao came here to flatter me today? Let me tell you, at that time, Sister Bao often lived in their house, and I just went to visit them once in a while. The old lady is very polite. normal."

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Why is Sister Xing so self-effacing? Could it be that the leaf vegetables in Beijing this winter are fake? I never thought about it, neither did Sister Feng, nor did the old lady and the wife think about it. , and only my sister did it.”

Xing Xiuyan said: "Sister Bao, don't talk about this. It's nothing to make people laugh. By the way, sister Bao, have you really decided? Go back to the south."

Xue Baochai nodded.

"But, don't you still have an uncle?"

Although Wang Ziteng does not have a title waiting to be inherited by future generations, unlike the previous Jia family, he is also a high-ranking official.

Xue Baochai said: "Sister, to tell you the truth, as long as my uncle can be relied on, our family didn't have to live in Jia's house in the first place."

Xing Xiuyan was also stunned when he heard it.

Very good, this quick-witted effort to evade and plant the blame is indeed Sister Bao.

"But your family is not as good as it used to be. Back then you had an older brother, but now... you have returned to the south, and your Xue family has a large population. I'm afraid there are many things to do."

Xing Xiuyan added the accent to the word "many things".

Xue Baochai knew what she meant, but she was just worried that if she went back to the south, she would be swallowed up by those wolves and tigers.But what can be done?After all, she is just a daughter and cannot hold back her mother.Who made her mother, Aunt Xue, rely on Xue Biao now?

Seeing Xue Baochai like this, Xing Xiuyan sighed and nodded to Zhuan'er. Zhuan'er went for half a day and took a brocade box, but chose a set of jewelry from the filial piety given to Xing Xiuyan outside. The gifts given to Xing Xiuyan by the family were comparable, but the style was something that ordinary people could wear.

Xing Xiuyan said: "Since Sister Bao has made up her mind, I won't say anything. These things are all respected to me by outsiders, and I haven't gone too far, but they are good things. I know that Sister Bao does not lack this. However, it is still Please stay, sister, just think about it. I don’t know when we will see each other again after today’s farewell. I only hope that sister Bao can be well.”

Now that Xing Zhong is a member of the second rank in the current court, and Xing Xiuyan is also a county lord appointed by the imperial court, what is wrong with respecting her outside?Such good things, the Xue family had a few when they were rich, but the Xue family has long since fallen, and Xue Baochai has not played with these for a long time.Seeing these kinds of jewelry now, where do you not feel emotional?

Xue Baochai also knew that Xing Xiuyan had found it out for her on purpose, so that she could use it to support the scene when encountering major events in the future, and using it skillfully could save a lot of trouble.Immediately without being hypocritical, he thanked Xing Xiuyan carefully and accepted it.

Xue Baochai sat down for a while after eating in Liuxingju, then got up to say goodbye.Before leaving, Xing Xiuyan personally sent it to the second gate, and watched Xue Baochai get into the car, but at this moment Xue Baochai suddenly turned around and said to Xing Xiuyan:

"Sister Xing, you, you have to be careful."
