Be a maid in the red mansion [Comprehensive]

After the mother and daughter finished talking about important matters, Jiang Wanyin took out a brocade box the size of two palms and handed it to Xue Baoying, explaining to her in detail what was in the box and what its purpose was.

"Ying'er, mother prepared these for you, you keep them yourself, and don't pass them through the hands of others."

"My daughter knows. My mother, you have taken care of my daughter."

Xue Baoying was very moved while holding the brocade box.

Jiang Wanyin reached out and touched Bao Ying's delicately combed bun.

"Silly boy, you are mother's child, mother should do all these things for you. It's just a pain for me."

"mother."

Baoying leaned against Jiang Wanyin's arms to prevent Jiang Wanyin from discovering her complicated emotions.

The mother and daughter didn't spend much time together, and it was only an hour before and after Baoying arrived at Xue's house, the nanny who came with Baoying reminded Baoying that it was time to go back.

The mother and son stood at the door and watched Bao Ying leave, no matter how much they resented, they could only endure the pain of parting.

Because she was worried, Jiang Wanyin asked Xue Hong to send Baoying back in person.After all, Baoying was pregnant with Liujia and Prince Kang's heir, if something happened along the way, the Xue family couldn't afford it.Of course, Jiang Wanyin didn't want her daughter to be in danger.

The next day, Xue Hong took her two younger brothers to visit the Wang family with the gift prepared by Xue Yan.

The Wang family has a lot of power in Jinling, and Wang Ziteng naturally knew about the daughter of the Xue family entering Prince Kang's mansion.It's just that Wang Ziteng is now an important official of the imperial court, with a high position and authority, so naturally he doesn't pay attention to the few concubines of the Xue family, not to mention that the Xue family is just a lowly merchant family in Wang Ziteng's eyes.

Xue's carriage stopped outside the gate of Wang's house, Xue Hong got out of the car and went to the steps in front of the gate of Wang's mansion to call for someone, only the servants of Wang's family came over.

"Who are you? Where are you from?"

The Xue family and the Wang family are related by marriage, Xue Yan would visit the Wang family every time he came to Beijing, how could the servants of the Wang family not know the symbol of the Xue family.Seeing the sign of the Xue family hanging on the car earlier, the servants of the Wang family stepped forward and asked with a very haughty tone.

"Please inform me that Xue Hong, the eldest son of Jinling Xue, and his younger brother are visiting Lord Wang."

Although the servants of the Wang family were rude, Xue Hong was still gentle and polite.

"The Xue family? But the Xue family of the imperial merchant?"

When the servant mentioned Huangshang, there was contempt and contempt in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xue Hong clenched his hands in the sleeves of his long shirt and then let go, but the two little ones behind him couldn't help but show anger in their eyes.But at least the two brothers remembered what Jiang Wanyin and Xue Hong told them before they went out, so they didn't dare to speak without authorization.

"That's right. Please go in and let me know."

"Okay, then you wait."

After the servant Ding spoke, he walked slowly into the mansion to report.

"Brother, this servant of the Wang family is really arrogant."

After the servant left, the two brothers Xue Tiao couldn't help talking to Xue Hong in a low voice.

"I'm not wrong. The Xue family is indeed the Xue family of the imperial merchant. Mr. Wang has a high position and power, and the Wang family is a big family. It is normal for the subordinates to be arrogant. You don't have to worry about them."

Xue Hong comforted the two younger brothers.In fact, being watched by the servants of the Wang family, how can Xue Hong feel comfortable in his heart, but he has a gentle personality, so although he is annoyed because of being slighted, he will not be dazzled by anger, he is very clear and calm.

And what about the Wang family, he had already heard from his mother.Moreover, the Wang family raised a woman like his wife, so how could the family style be better.

The servants of the Wang family went in to report the trip, but they hadn't come out for a long time, so the three Xue Hong brothers stood and waited at the door against the cold winter wind and snow.This wait lasted nearly half an hour, Xue Hong was alright, Xue Li's patience was almost exhausted, and Xue Yan was also full of anger in his heart.

"Brother, this Wang family is too bullying."

"It's just a matter of whether you want to see it or not. The three of us brothers have been waiting here for so long in this cold winter. It's really deceiving."

"Okay, don't be angry. Being angry is just to anger ourselves. It's not worth being angry with this kind of people."

Xue Hong heard the anger of the two younger brothers and tried to appease them.

"But it's freezing, why don't you two go back to the car first." If my younger brother is frozen, how can I explain to my mother when I go back.

"No, we will accompany you, big brother."

The brothers are very loyal.

Fortunately, not long after this time, someone finally came out, and it was the butler of the Wang family who came out.

"Oh, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting, three young masters. Those boys are so busy that they forgot about three young masters. Three young masters, follow me into the mansion quickly, three young masters, please."

"It's work."

Although the housekeeper of the Wang family said sorry words, there was no trace of embarrassment on his face.

The three Xue Hong brothers didn't know that the Wang family did it on purpose, wanting to give the three brothers a bad blow.

Leading the three brothers into the mansion, the steward of the Wang family waved to the servants at the door before entering, and the servants immediately walked towards the carriage of the Xue family, and removed the ceremony gifts brought by Xue Hong from the carriage.Then servant Ding didn't know what he said to the servants of Xue's family, and the servants of Xue's family drove away in the carriage.

The three Xue Hong brothers entered the mansion with the housekeeper of the Wang family and were led to the main hall.

"Please sit down, three young masters, and someone will serve tea to the three young masters."

"I'm sorry to trouble the butler. And please tell the butler, the boy begs to see Mr. Wang."

After being left alone for so long, Xue Hong himself guessed the reason; so he didn't beat around the bush and said directly that he wanted to see Wang Ziteng.

"Oh, my lord, you want to see my master. What a coincidence, a distinguished guest came to the house this morning, and my master is discussing matters with the distinguished guest. How about you and the two young masters drink tea first, and I will go to the master to ask for instructions. "

"Then trouble the housekeeper."

"It should be."

The butler left with a smile, Xue Hong still had a gentle expression on his face, but his eyes turned cold.

"Brother, he is clearly trying to fool us."

Xue Ru couldn't help complaining.

"It's up to you to say, how can the elder brother not see it?"

Xue Ling cast a contemptuous glance at younger brother, approached Xue Hong and asked.

"Brother, what should we do now? Do we have to wait like this again?"

"Otherwise? Second brother, do you have another way?"

Xue Hong also glanced at Xue Ling.

Now they are weak and lowly in status, and Prince Teng has a high position and high authority. If Wang Ziteng wants to leave them alone, they can only bear it.

The butler asked someone to serve tea, but the butler had been gone for nearly two quarters of an hour, and the tea was still served.

It took another half an hour for the butler to come out.

"I'm sorry to keep the three gentlemen waiting for a long time. My master is still discussing with the distinguished guests, so I have to trouble you three to wait."

The housekeeper apologized very politely, but without the slightest sincerity.

"It's okay, let's just wait a little longer. Your Excellency has urgent business."

Xue Hong still said with a smile.Now that they are in the Wang family, it is impossible for them to leave without waiting for someone. Not to mention offending Prince Teng Wang's family, it will also damage their reputation.My mother has worked hard to plan for them, but I can't let my mother worry about it.

"Thank you, Eldest Young Master, for your understanding. The three Young Masters will drink tea first, and then wait."

The butler looked at the coffee table as he spoke, frowned as if he had suddenly discovered it and shouted:

"Why didn't you serve tea to the three sons? Where have all these people gone?"

"These maids are really getting more and more plausible, three young masters, wait a minute, I'll go and urge them."

The butler hurriedly left after speaking.

Xue Hong's hand resting on the chair handle clenched and then loosened.

"Brother, they did it on purpose."

"It's disgusting. It's too much bullying!"

"Big brother..."

"Be patient."

Xue Hong appeases the two upper brothers/brothers.He suppressed the anger in his heart, he couldn't let the Wang family and Wang Ziteng catch him.

This time someone finally served tea, but the tea served was only lukewarm water, and the tea was not very good. The three brothers just took a sip and didn't drink any more.

Although the three brothers came from low-ranking merchants, Xue's family was wealthy among the imperial merchants. Jiang Wanyin and Xue Yan loved their children.The tea served by the Wang family was aged tea steeped in warm water, which was simply used to humiliate the three brothers.

Being neglected, despised, and humiliated for half a day made the three brothers realize the importance of power and family background for the first time.

If it wasn't for them being from merchants, if it wasn't for them being powerless, if it wasn't for Wang Ziteng being powerful, the servants of the Wang family would dare to humiliate them like this.

In addition to the burning anger of being humiliated, the three brothers also have a desire for power.

Seeing the anger in the eyes of the two younger brothers, Xue Hong has already calmed down quickly.

"Second brother and third brother, you are not at home here. You must not be impulsive, so as not to fall into trouble. It is not easy for father and mother to plan for us. We must not disappoint father and mother's expectations."

"Brother, we know."

We can't stand it.

"Brother, my father hasn't visited Beijing or visited Wang's family in recent years. Is it the same with their father?"

The silent Xue Ling suddenly said.

Although Xue Yan did not treat the children as well as before after having a son-in-law, Xue Yan really cared for the children.The three brothers also have a deep father-son affection for Xue Yan.

When the three brothers thought that their father was neglected and humiliated by the Wang family when they came to the Wang family, apart from being angry, the three brothers hated the Wang family even more.

Time passed by little by little, and it was already noon during the long wait, but the Wang family seemed to have forgotten the three Xue Hong brothers, and no one came again, not even the housekeeper.Not to mention that Xue Hong brothers and three were invited to have lunch, they didn't even serve snacks, let alone change the tea, and even didn't even burn charcoal in the main hall.

The three brothers could only wait, hungry, thirsty and cold, until finally the butler reappeared.It's just that the butler never forgot that he didn't invite the three brothers to have lunch, he just said that Wang Ziteng's business was over and asked them to wait.

Knowing that the butler did it on purpose, Xue Hong didn't talk to him too much, so Xue Hong took the opportunity to propose to kowtow to Mrs. Wang.

"When I came to Beijing, my father told me that after I arrived in the capital, I had to pay my respects to the old lady. I didn't know that the old lady woke up from her afternoon nap. If the old lady woke up, I would take my two younger brothers to kowtow to the old lady."

"Hey, what a coincidence, the old lady has been unwell for the past two days, and the imperial doctor said that she should rest and not see guests. In the past two days, the wife has been serving the old lady in her clothes."

The housekeeper immediately made excuses, not only refusing Xue Hong and the three brothers to see Mrs. Wang, but also emphasizing that Wang Ziteng's wife is not available either, meaning that the three of them are not allowed to see Mrs. Wang Ziteng.

"Oh, I almost forgot. The master ordered to fetch some things, so I'll be busy first."

After finishing talking, he slipped away, leaving the three brothers who were thirsty, hungry, tired and cold to continue sitting dryly in the main hall.

But she said that Jiang Wanyin was waiting for her son to come back at home, but she didn't expect that the coachman and servants who took her son to Wang's house in the morning would come back first.

Jiang Wanyin asked someone to ask and found out that she was sent back by the servants of the Wang family.

"The Wang family said that Mr. Wang is going to test the knowledge of the uncle and the others. I am afraid that the uncle and the others will come back in the afternoon. Let the servants come back first, and the Wang family will send someone to send the uncle and the others back in the afternoon."

When Jiang Wanyin heard this, she immediately felt something was wrong.
