[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family

Chapter 71 Mrs. Mu Shengen visits and cleverly argues that Xue Baochai enters the palace (1)

It is said that Concubine Jia went back to the palace, and the next day she saw her to thank her, and played back the matter of returning to the province. Longyan was very happy.It is also necessary to give details such as colored satin, gold and silver to Jia Zheng and the pepper houses.

In addition, because of the exhaustion of the two mansions of Rongning and Ningxia, everyone was really tired, and everyone was exhausted. They also cleaned up all the things that should be displayed in the garden for two or three days.

The first Mrs. Wang has a lot of things to do, others may hide quietly, but he alone cannot escape; also because she is the housekeeper's burden of affairs, she is the mother of the empress, and she can't let others praise or blame her in everything, she can only struggle. Just like a person who has nothing to do.I am exhausted from managing matters and no longer list them in detail.

Ever since concubine Jia came to see her relatives, Baochai has often been obsessed with missing her. At one moment, she felt that the Duke's mansion was prosperous and rich;Because of this repeated day and night, I didn't feel that I was infected with the wind and cold. After the Lantern Festival, I fell ill and lay in bed all day long.

Mrs. Wang came to see it several times in person, and saw that although Baochai was ill, she had dignified and beautiful features, and she felt happy and satisfied.Although he noticed that Baochai seemed to have a different intention between his brows, he only regarded her as the youngest daughter's mind, so he laughed it off.When I just went in, I took the sugar-steamed yogurt given by Concubine Jia the day before yesterday, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty just returned to the palace, but she was thinking about home again. I said no, but she said that the yogurt is very refreshing and sweet. So I gave you two dishes, one for you brother Bao, and the other for you personally."

Aunt Xue hurriedly ordered the servant girl to take the crisp cheese from Jin Chuaner's hand, and said, "Bao girl usually doesn't eat much of these good things. Since it's your empress' kindness, just keep it for Baoyu That's it, why did you send it here at this time?"

Mrs. Wang just smiled, and seeing Baochai half lying in the inner room, she just smiled at Aunt Xue.

"Is there anything that Baoyu has never eaten? Although this crispy cheese is delicious, we also have it at home. It's just that the method is different and the taste is the same. Speaking of it, after all, it was given by the empress herself, and she said she wanted it. Give it to Bao girl, otherwise how could I say this."

When Aunt Xue heard this, she really showed a little joy on her face. Thinking of Yuan Chun's current status and the ostentation during the visits a few days ago, she felt a lot of pride in her heart.

When Madam Wang saw it, she pursed her lips and smiled.He just said: "I also said that I haven't seen Bao girl for several days, and I'm busy with things around me, so I can't get away for a while. No, it's easy to clean up all the things in the garden. Come over when you are free."

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "Why is it so shameful that you are asked to come here in person? Bao girl just caught a cold, and the doctor came to see her and said that she should just rest for a few days."

Mrs. Wang smiled, then smiled and took Aunt Xue's hand and said affectionately: "I just received a letter from my brother, saying that Pan'er's body is gradually improving now. Looking at it now, isn't it just It’s a happy event, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

When Aunt Xue heard it, she really read "Amitabha". She only smiled and said, "It's my brother who has a way. Fortunately, I asked Pan'er to follow my brother. Although I left my side, there is no one who misses him, but for him. In the future, I will not refuse." Thinking of Xue Pan's temper, only Wang Ziteng can suppress him, now that Xue Pan is with Wang Ziteng, naturally he dare not do those willful and mischievous things. of.Thinking about it this way made me feel more at ease.

"I always say that Pan'er is getting older, and you shouldn't just let him mess around. You need to know that in the future, the lintel will still be supported by him."

As Mrs. Wang said, she took a handkerchief and tucked the corners of her lips.Seeing that Aunt Xue didn't talk to her, she smiled to herself and said, "Now that my mother has passed away my relatives, the villa of the relatives is also empty. I was still thinking about where to send the little Taoist monk in the garden. For a while You are so tied up that you can't use it."

Aunt Xue just said: "What's so difficult about this, just send it out."

Hearing what Aunt Xue said, although Mrs. Wang smiled, the smile on her face faded a little bit.I can't help but think in my heart: After all, I married a merchant's family, so that's the idea.How can those little monks and Taoist priests be dismissed so easily?Thinking of this for a while, I added a bit of contempt to Aunt Xue.

Baochai closed her eyes and rested in the inner room, but she could hear Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang talking outside.At first, she didn't think much about it, but when she heard her mother say this, Mrs. Wang stopped talking, and she knew in her heart that the words were not in line with her wishes.So she coughed twice, and after a while, Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang both came in to see her.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "I just came to see you, and I said that unfortunately, you fell asleep, but you woke us up?"

Baochai then bent her lips and smiled and said, "what did my aunt say? How can I put it?" Then he laughed and said, "I heard my aunt and mother talking about the garden when I was inside, but what happened to my aunt?"

Mrs. Wang told Baochai the original words again, and finally said with a smile: "I still said, it is because of this that I am worried. According to the master's intention, it is to be distributed to various temples. But I always have something to deal with here, and I just want to find someone to discuss it."

Baochai turned her beautiful eyes, thought for a while and said, "Auntie, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Mrs. Wang laughed when she heard her say this: "There's nothing wrong with saying it, you just talk to me first. I can't use your idea any more."

Baochai smiled and said: "In my opinion, these young monks and Taoists must not be sent elsewhere. The empress will accept it when she comes out. If they are separated, it will be troublesome to use them again. Let me tell you my idea." Well, why not send them to our family temple, just send a person to buy firewood and rice with a few liang of silver in a month, and it’s over. It’s easy to call, just go and call.”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she clapped her hands and said with a smile: "That's right, Bao girl knows what I mean." She smiled and took Baochai's hand for a moment, and she was very satisfied when she saw Baochai's beautiful and dignified appearance. .Then he smiled and said, "I didn't say that, counting from the girls in our family, they are really not as good as Bao girl. Hey, it's lucky that my aunt has you by her side, otherwise I don't know what to do."

Baochai blushed half of her face when she said that, Mrs. Wang just covered her lips with a veil and laughed continuously.Aunt Duxue was sitting on the side, with a strange expression on her face.

Mrs. Wang sat for a while before she smiled and said, "It's getting late. I still have to see the old lady, so I won't sit any longer. I'll wait until my aunt comes to see you again tomorrow." After that, she helped Baochai wrap the quilt After tucking it away, he smiled and went to Jiamu's place.

When Aunt Xue saw Mrs. Wang leaving, her face became more and more strange, and she just sneered and looked away.Seeing this, Baochai hurriedly asked, "Mom, what's the matter?"

Aunt Xue frowned, pulled her handkerchief and said, "Your aunt is too. Since she wants to praise you, she uses me as a raft. Even if she holds your reasoning, how can she make a fuss about me?" It turned out that Aunt Xue Feeling unhappy, Mrs. Wang told her about this incident in the outer room earlier, she gave her advice, but Mrs. Wang just ignored it.Hearing what Baochai said when he came inside, he immediately smiled.Even if holding Baochai, how can there be any reason to step on her?

Baochai hurriedly comforted: "Mother, don't be angry, maybe my aunt is quick to talk for a while, and there are some." As she spoke, her beautiful eyes wandered, and she thought of something again, so she whispered: "Did uncle write?"

Aunt Xue laughed and said, "That's exactly what I want to tell you. Your uncle has been promoted to the nine provincial capitals, and has become more and more official. The old lady from the previous day personally dismissed the mandarin duck girl next to her. I gave you a gift, saying that our family contributed money when we were building this family-speaking villa, and even though we haven’t paid for it for a while, it’s still a way of expressing our gratitude.”

When Baochai heard the words, her cheeks flushed with joy, and she hurriedly said, "Uncle's official career is getting smoother now. I just don't know, that matter..."

When Aunt Xue heard her mentioning it like this, she knew it was a small election, but she never heard Wang Ziteng mention it since that time, so she comforted her: "Maybe it's because your uncle misheard and believed it for a while. My son, don't take this matter too seriously. We live here, and it is good to look at Baoyu coldly. He has always been the closest to you and always misses you. If you want to marry into your aunt's house , It’s a beautiful thing to think about.”

Even though he said this, Baochai was a little worried because he had thought about it before.Just looking at Aunt Xue's tone, she looked at Baoyu differently, so she smiled and said, "Mom is right. I'm a little tired, and I want to lie down and have a rest."

When Aunt Xue saw that Baochai looked tired, she hurried over and helped her to lie down, and told her to rest before going out.Leaving Baochai lying on the bed with her eyes closed, the scene of that night, which was brightly lit like daytime and covered by red candles, repeatedly flashed in her mind.If the imperial concubine's clothes were on her body... Baochai's plump red lips curved slightly, and she slowly fell asleep.

But she said that Mrs. Wang was coming to Jiamu. After serving her lunch, she listened to the bell ringing a few times, and then she was going to serve her for a while.Li Wan, Yingchun and others all stood up, saluted and retreated, and Mrs. Duwang stayed behind.

Seeing that Li Wan and others had gone out, he smiled and said: "Old lady, my brother wrote in a letter saying that he will be back in a few days, and brother Xue Jiapan is in much better health. The public case has already been settled, and if I want to endure this hardship, I will not dare to mess around in the future. I watched these Tianbao girls support their family alone, and I really suffered a lot. The first one fell ill again. The daughter-in-law thought, it would be better for her to recover from her illness in a few days, so let her come over more, and be with the second girl and the third girl, so that she can relax."

Seeing that Mother Jia's eyelids were drooping and she didn't speak, Madam Wang laughed again and said, "Besides, this treasure girl is older after all. She has good manners and manners, and she has a very stable temper. Their little girls are always there. Being a companion in one place can also make the second and third girls learn a little bit."

"Crack!" Mother Jia placed the teacup heavily on the table, and looked up at Mrs. Wang with cold eyes.

Mrs. Wang just swallowed the words that came to her lips, feeling a little uneasy.

Mother Jia lowered her eyelids and let Mrs. Wang stand there.The small carved sandalwood cauldron in the room exudes a curly fragrance, which is obviously the fragrance of meditation, but Mrs. Wang feels that there seems to be a suffocating dullness in the air, which makes her unable to calm down.

The mandarin duck is very winking, and has ordered all the little girls and old women in the house to go out, and she stands quietly behind Jiamu.

"Second wife," Jia Mu said, with neither joy nor anger on her face, and her tone was neither serious nor serious, "Bao girl has lived in the mansion for several years, and everyone who gets along with the second girl, the third girl and the fourth girl is That's right. She is your second wife's niece and niece, and she is also a guest lady in this mansion. You should understand this point."

Mrs. Wang raised her eyelids to look at Jia's mother, then quickly lowered her eyelids, but she couldn't help but tightly gripped the handkerchief.The old lady is reminding herself that girl Bao is just a guest after all?Could it be that in the past few years, the Xue family has put in so much effort in this mansion that the old lady still doesn't regard the Xue family as her own family?

"Speaking of which, Bao girl is considered a stable child and can take care of the housework for her mother. It's quite difficult for her at such a young age."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang quickly raised her head and said, "It's exactly what the old lady said, Bao girl is really a good girl. My daughter-in-law looks at it coldly, it's rare for a girl like this to stand out like this."

Mother Jia raised her hand and stopped her words, "This child is a lovely person. However, you have to think carefully about what you say. No matter how good Bao girl is, she is only a relative after all. Besides... she came from a businessman. Of course, our relatives won’t talk about it, but what about outsiders? Tell me about the past two years, how many rumors have been spread in the mansion, saying that Bao girl is better than the serious lady in our mansion?"

As he spoke, he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, then said, "I'm just mentally weak, and I'm too lazy to argue with those servants. But since you're in charge of the house now, you should be more careful." Come on, this kind of gossip should be taught a lesson. Don’t you think that the girls in our family, whether they are in the mansion or living here, are slaves who can say it? It’s not bad to spread the word, girl Your boudoir reputation." Speaking of this, I thought that Daiyu had moved out early, otherwise she would not know what she would be called.The second wife is used to seeing Daiyu not deal with her.

"Furthermore, no matter how good Bao girl is, her background will be there after all. If this word spreads, will it be of any benefit to the girls?"

"Let's not say that the fourth girl is a descendant of the Eastern Mansion, so how can others talk about her status. Even though the second girl and the third girl are not as good as concubines, she is just like the empress. She was raised by me since she was a child. If they are suppressed by Bao girl, they are decent? How can you make people think of your empress?"

Mrs. Wang bowed her head and remained silent.That's right, the young ladies of my family were brought up by the old matriarch, but they are not as good as Baochai, a girl who was born in an imperial merchant. If they say it, it will not only lift Baochai's status, but also It really slapped the Rongguo Mansion in the face!What's more, Tanchun is recorded in his own name. Don't others listen to her and think that her aunt is not well-bred?Even Yuan Chun in the palace no longer has any face to speak of.

Why didn't I think of this at the time?Mrs. Wang regretted it very much.At the beginning, she only wanted to promote Baochai's reputation and suppress the Lin family's reputation, but she forgot that there is such a layer!

Jia Mu took a look at Mrs. Wang's expression and knew that the mention of Yuan Chun had touched Mrs. Wang's heart.I sneered a few times in my heart, no matter how good a business girl is, can you overwhelm the young lady of my mansion?Although Mrs. Wang is indispensable to fuel the flames, but is Xue Baochai speechless?This point alone is enough to prove that the treasure girl is not as honest and courteous as she appears on her face!

"I know what's on your mind." Mother Jia thought for a while, if Mrs. Wang's mind had been pretending to be confused, why not simply point it out today, and said, "Although this child's marriage is a major event, it has always been between the parents. Order the matchmaker's words, but I have to put the words first, Baoyu's marriage, the Xue family, absolutely not."

Mrs. Wang raised her head in astonishment, and looked at Jia's mother suspiciously.

Mrs. Wang has thought about all kinds of possibilities for Baoyu's lifelong event.Since ancient times, it has been the order of her parents, and her biological mother is still there. Even if Baoyu lived with the old lady since she was a child, she can't help but make up her own mind.Therefore, when the old lady showed some affection for the girl of the Lin family, Mrs. Wang's place seemed to be tensed from time to time.

But today, it is the first time that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law put Baoyu's marriage on the table.Mrs. Wang never expected that Mother Jia could speak so bluntly.Moreover, there was no room for her to say "no" at all!

What's wrong with Baochai?Baochai has an outstanding appearance, a calm and magnanimous temperament, and she is also knowledgeable in books and etiquette.Living in the mansion for the past few years, getting along with Baoyu is good, and he can always persuade Baoyu to study and improve, and he is very respectful to himself.

What's more, the Xue family has several generations of imperial merchants, and their family wealth is huge. According to Mrs. Wang, it is worth more than a million at least.The most wonderful thing is that Pan'er of the Xue family used to be useless, but now he is imprisoned. Listening to his brother and sister-in-law's words, it seems that Pan'er is a little useless.When Mrs. Wang thought of this, her heart was already very excited.

What's more, Baochai is helping Xue's family with their big and small affairs. What about in the future?A son who can no longer do anything, a daughter who is capable, Aunt Xue's heart is not sure which way to go.

Where can I find such a girl?Once Baochai married in, wouldn't all the wealth of Xue's family go into Jia's family, and also into his own private treasury!

Seeing her eyes flickering slightly, Jiamu's face was dull, but she could still see a bit of displeasure.

Immediately he sneered and said: "You only know that Bao girl is a good one, but have you ever thought about whether Baoyu will become an official in the future? Will she want the support of Yue's family after she becomes an official? One end. Could it be that in the future, if you want people to mention Baoyu, you will first say that he has a wife of a merchant girl?" He snorted coldly, and then said: "There is also your good nephew Xue Pan, but it can help Baoyu What? My words are here. Baoyu is my lifeblood. If you dare to make a deal with someone casually, talk to someone as soon as possible, and don’t miss her good girl, let alone harm me. precious jade."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Mrs. Wang coldly and said, "I don't care what the fate of marriage is, I know Baoyu's marriage in my heart, and you are not allowed to make decisions without authorization. If you have anything to say, just let your master come and talk together. Don't I don't care, but Baoyu has been in front of me since I was a child, so you are not allowed to touch him casually."

Mrs. Wang's face was flushed, and the hand hanging by her side was clenched tightly. The nails had already dug into the palm, causing a sharp pain.

He walked out of Jia Mu's room in a daze, and vaguely heard Jia Mu's order inside: "Yuanyang, wait for someone to pick up Yu'er tomorrow. It's okay for her Lian's second sister-in-law to be bored in the room now, let her come and play." play."

Mrs. Wang turned her head stiffly to look at the door, the corners of the mandarin duck's crimson clothes could be seen faintly, and the crisp promise also rang in her ears.Listening to Jiamu and Yuanyang talking about Daiyu's recent situation again, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.Old lady, old lady, if you want to let a poor Lin girl match my Baoyu, you have to see if your mother agrees!

In Rongguo Mansion, the old lady is undoubtedly the most decisive in everything.

Regarding Baoyu's marriage, the old lady looked down on the Xue family, and as for the second master, she couldn't point it out either—he was a dutiful son, and he could only agree with what the old lady said, so how could he object?Coupled with Xue's business status, he has always looked down on it.On the other hand, the Lin family, although there was a bit of indifferent meaning before, but since the Lin family's aunt came to Beijing and appointed the right servant of the official department and concurrently served as a cabinet bachelor, he often spoke with a bit of respect in his words.

The old lady's words have been put down, and Jia Zheng can't count on it here. Mrs. Wang's only hope is Yuan Chun.Now that Yuan Chungui is an imperial concubine and has been favored, can it be that he can't decide his own brother's marriage?No matter how capable the old lady is, would she still dare to wrestle with the empress?

However, whether or not this matter will be accomplished, although it is only a matter of Yuan Chun's words.But in the end, Yuan Chun must first know the benefits of the Xue family.Only in this way can Yuanchun's meaning be more powerful.

After a few days, it was time to enter the palace to pay his respects.On this day, Mrs. Wang got up early, put on a lot of make-up, and went to the palace by car.

First go to the Queen's Palace to pay homage, and then go to Yuanchun's residence.

Stepping into the gate of Changchun Palace, there are already confidantes around Yuanchun coming out to greet him.Mrs. Wang walked in with the little lady-in-waiting, looked at the vermilion carved doors and windows of the main hall of Changchun Palace, and couldn't help feeling excited—this is the most precious place in the world!This is where my daughter lives!Under one person, above tens of thousands!

"Yiren, the empress is waiting inside."

The little palace maid led Mrs. Wang to Yuanchun's usual sitting and sleeping place, then bowed and retreated.As soon as she left, the Baoqin in the inner room came out to greet her, blessed her body, and said: "Yiren comes with the servant girl, and the empress will start talking when she wakes up in the morning."

Because he was meeting his mother, Yuan Chun didn't wear court clothes, but picked up a goose-yellow round neck full-body tunic flower casual dress that he usually wears, with a flying phoenix bun on his head, and five phoenix gold hairpins on his temples. With a plump body and a beautiful face, she looks both dignified and charming.

She has been in the deep palace for a long time, although her status is high and her holy favor is grand, but since she entered the old sage's harem, Concubine Shen treats her with a nose that is not a nose, and eyes that are not eyes.At that time, she was still a nobleman, and Concubine Shen was already very picky about her.Who would have thought that the old sage made her a concubine, and Taifei Shen's resentment towards her would intensify.Until she went to visit her relatives, because she visited her relatives on the same day as Concubine Shen, although she was beautiful after returning, but most of the palace people in the deep palace looked at Concubine Shen's eyes and acted.Although favored by the old sage, it is still difficult to compete with Concubine Shen.

Of course, she would never say these words to her family.For one thing, the family members hoped that she would have a status and favor in the palace. If she said this at this time, it would not only bring troubles to the family members, but also bring disasters to the family.Second, there are Concubine Shen's eyeliner everywhere in this palace, if you don't check any one, you will be stabbed in front of the old sage.

Yuan Chun knew very well that she was young and had great favor, the only thing she could rely on was the favor of the old sage.There are not many high-ranking concubines in the palace, Yuan Chun's foundation is still shallow, and she is hated by Concubine Shen, so she is quite excluded in this harem.On weekdays, she was very cautious in the palace and did not dare to make any mistakes. Naturally, she was looking forward to having family members to talk to, which also meant to relax a little.

Unexpectedly, as soon as my mother entered the palace today, she only said a few words before wiping away her tears.While talking, while sighing.Yuan Chun heard it, and it turned out that it was a disagreement with the old lady about Baoyu's marriage.

Yuan Chun sighed.From her heart's point of view, even if the old lady's words were straightforward, they were absolutely correct.However, looking at the fine lines in the corners of her mother's eyes, she couldn't say much else, so she could only persuade in a gentle voice: "Mother, the old lady can just say something else, but there is one sentence that my daughter agrees with. In the future, Baoyu will do whatever she wants. If you have to pursue an official career, there is absolutely no reason to spend your whole life in the inner house."

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was about to speak, Yuan Chun hurriedly said: "My daughter is in the palace, but it is just a jealousy among women. I already know that if no one supports you, no matter how good you are, it will be difficult to get ahead. What's more, this The situation in the previous dynasty was hundreds of times more complicated?" He couldn't help but sigh.

"Baoyu is your son and my younger brother. I taught him to read and write since I was a child. Why don't I miss him? Mother, please listen to me, don't argue too much with the old lady. Even if the Xue family has millions of dollars, how can they be happy? It is a family of merchants, and it is not worthy of people like us."

"Could it be that your mother thinks that girl Lin is good too?" Mrs. Wang asked hoarsely.

Yuan Chun smiled faintly, "Mother, the Lin family is the family of Shilu, five generations of princes, and Uncle Lin once served as the inspector of salt and censor. This family is no worse than the Xue family."

Seeing Mrs. Wang's uneasy expression and fearing that she would be unhappy, Yuan Chun could only hurriedly said, "Even if mother doesn't like Cousin Lin, is there only one Cousin Xue left in the world to choose from? There are so many ladies in Beijing, our Duke's mansion, Why does mother have to keep her eyes on Cousin Xue?"

When Mrs. Wang heard Yuan Chun say this, her eye circles immediately turned red. "Your Majesty doesn't know something. It's not that I have to choose Bao girl, it's because I'm in a difficult situation in the mansion and my Majesty doesn't know. Not to mention anything else, how much has the Xue family helped me with regards to visiting relatives? Besides, Feng Although the girl is good, she is the daughter-in-law of the big house, and now she refuses to take care of the house because she is pregnant. I have a tight hand here, thanks to your aunt who made things right, and Bao Yatou was there to help. My mother doesn't know, you My father has a vile vixen who wishes for my early death..."

Yuan Chun hurriedly reached out his hand to stop Mrs. Wang's crying, and said, "Yi Ren is cautious, this is in the palace."

After hearing this, Madam Wang wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, stopped crying, and said: "I didn't mean anything else by saying this. In the final analysis, although Bao girl came from a lower background, she has a rare and stable temperament." He is kind-hearted, and caring to me... Besides, the housekeeper is also a good hand, and now he is helping your aunt's family to take care of the family's property."

Yuan Chun's finely curved eyebrows raised slightly, and he also became a little interested in Xue Baochai, "It's really so good?"

Mrs. Wang quickly interjected: "I will never use this to coax your mother. I met you when your mother visited relatives a few days ago. I'm not talking about Bao girl's character and appearance. It's hard to pick one out of ten thousand people. If it weren't for this , I can't keep this thought. Since they came to Beijing, I have watched them coldly for several years, and there is really nothing wrong with them. Brother Pan of his family is a worthless person. My mother thought that in the future, Bao girl will marry Entering our house, the dowry gift is extremely generous. As the saying goes, marrying a wife is the best choice, let alone a character like Bao girl, there is nothing inappropriate."

Yuan Chun lowered his eyes and thought for a while, but was finally moved by Mrs. Wang's words, and said, "Let me think about this matter again. Speaking of it, Baoyu is still young now, so I don't worry about kissing her."

After hearing Yuan Chun's words, Mrs. Wang felt a lot happier, and took out a brocade box with a smile, "These are reserved for the empress, and the empress will take care of everything in the palace." Pushed the box in Yuan Chun's place, then patted it with a smile.

Yuan Chun's eyes flickered slightly, he opened the box slightly with a smile, took a look, and said with a smile: "After all, it's our girl's handiness. Both the net and the purse are made so well. Even in the palace, it's quite a pleasure to entertain people." If you can get it out, Yiren is thoughtful." After that, he handed the box to Baoqin, winked and said: "It's good to keep it, don't let anyone take it carelessly."

Seeing Baoqin's respectful and docile appearance, Mrs. Wang's eyes flickered slightly, and seeing Yuanchun only staring at Baoqin's back, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything after all.

After the mother and daughter talked for a while, it was time to leave the palace.Because Mrs. Wang felt Yuan Chun's words of "let her think about it again", she somewhat let go of her worries and left with a smile on her face.As for Yuanchun, since his mother brought in money and the secret medicine, he was naturally very relieved.It's just that when she thought of how much her mother valued cousin Xue's family, and thought of cousin Lin that the old lady vaguely mentioned when she entered the palace last time... Her thin eyebrows frowned again. This matter might be difficult!

In a few days, Jia's mansion heard the decree again.It turned out that after Jia Yuanchun wrote the inscription on the Grand View Garden in the palace, he suddenly remembered the scenery in the Grand View Garden.There are a few sisters in Kuang's family who are good at poetry and prose. Why don't you let them go in and live in it, so as not to make the beautiful woman down and the flowers and willows shameless.

But I also thought that Baoyu grew up among sisters since childhood, no better than other brothers. If he is not ordered to go in, I am afraid that he will be deserted and not happy for a while. It is wonderful to live in the garden.

After thinking about it, he ordered the eunuch Xia Shouzhong to come to Rongguo Mansion to issue an edict, ordering Baochai and others to just live in the garden and not to be locked up, and ordered Baoyu to go in with him to study.

Not to mention that Baoyu was overjoyed when he heard this, even Jia Zheng nodded in agreement after hearing this.When Mrs. Wang heard this, she felt more relieved.When she was busy, she came over and said to Aunt Xue: "Your Majesty, what you mean is to ask Bao girl to live in the Grand View Garden, my son, which place do you like now?"

Baochai laughed and said, "Whatever it is, the aunt and the old lady are the ones to decide. I have nothing else to say."

Mrs. Wang also laughed again and again, she only caressed Baochai's cheek and her eyebrows and eyes were crooked.The next day, I went to Jiamu's place to answer, but saw Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun sitting in a row, and there was another girl joking in front of Jiamu.Mrs. Wang took a closer look, but said that it was Xiangyun!

"You're here." Mother Jia glanced at Mrs. Wang faintly, then smiled at Xiangyun again: "The last time my mother came back to visit my relatives, but you didn't have time to come, did you hear that their sisters are going to the garden today? Afraid that you will fall, why don't you just come here?"

Xiangyun leaned on Jia Mu's lap and smiled sweetly: "Why is the old lady making fun of Yun'er again? I haven't visited this garden yet, but my sisters and sisters have all seen and played with it. I don't obey, I don't obey, It’s enough to take me in to have a look!”

Everyone laughed, and even Baoyu pointed to her and laughed to everyone: "Sister Jianyun has become obsessed again. She only thought that we had visited the garden but she didn't go in to see it. Don't you know that we didn't do enough?" I've seen it."

Xiangyun pretended not to obey, stood up and laughed with Baoyu, playing and shouting: "Brother love, don't run away, I have to ask you to beg for mercy today." Then he rubbed his hands to scratch Baoyu's itch .

Jia Mu sat on the couch and watched, smiling kindly.

For a while, Xiangyun was tired from running, so he ran to Baochai, only yelling that he was hot. Baochai smiled and took a handkerchief to wipe Xiangyun's sweat, and took a bite of tea for Xiangyun.Happily, Xiangyun narrowed his eyes with a smile, and smiled beside Baochai, "It's better for Sister Bao to treat me better, Sister Bao, you all went to live in the garden, where can I find you when I come in the future?"

As soon as Baoyu heard this, he leaned over and smiled and said, "What's the matter? The garden is so big. I just leave you a room."

After hearing this, Xiangyun clapped his hands happily, and said with a smile: "It's a good idea, but it's not feasible. I'm not a person without a home, so I naturally want to live at home. You leave me How can I live in a house without me? Another thing, the old lady may not agree, but you are so happy."

Baoyu was not very interesting in talking about it. After thinking for a while, he ran to Jiamu and laughed a while, and said: "Old ancestor, let sister Yun also have a room. She often comes to our house as a guest. If If we don't leave a room for her, sisters can't see each other often! Ancestor, think of Baoyu at least!"

Jia Mu was so spoiled by him, so she had to laugh and said, "Since you all said so, I will reserve a room for Yun girl, but since I have reserved a room, I have to come here often. Otherwise, I will send someone else to live with you." I won’t let you live in my house anymore.”

So Baoyu and Xiangyun were very happy, and they came to thank Jia Mu together.

Mrs. Wang watched coldly from the side, and a sneer sneered in her heart.To put it nicely, why didn't you leave a room for Yun girl in the Rongguo Mansion in the past!Taking another look at Baochai with a gentle smile, Mrs. Wang tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand.After all, she wanted to like Yibao girl more in her heart, what's so good about Yun girl being crazy.

When Jia Mu saw that they talked about the good here and the wonderful place there, she also smiled and said, "Baoyu, where do you want to live? Let me listen to you."

"I want to live in the Yihong Courtyard, where there are plantains and crabapples, and it is the most peaceful."

Xiangyun listened to it and wrote it down silently, then smiled again and said, "It's good to read and write for you to get fame, isn't it?" Everyone laughed again.

Jia Mu looked at Baochai and said, "Bao girl, which one do you like?"

When Baochai saw Jiamu's question, she smiled and said, "There are beautiful scenery everywhere in the garden. I just let the old lady make her own decisions."

The flattering was very loud, which made Jia's mother happy, so she pointed to Baochai's house in Hengwu courtyard.He also pointed out that Zhuijin Building was for Yingchun, Qiushuangzhai was for Tanchun, Liaofengxuan was for Xichun, and Daoxiang Village was for Li Wan.

When it was Xiangyun's turn, Jia's mother smiled and said, "Yun girl, do you have a place to live?"

Xiangyun smiled and leaned against Jia Mu and said, "Old Ancestor, I often hear Brother Ai say that there is a place in this garden, 'thousands of green bamboos cover the door and wall', isn't it?"

Jia Mu smiled and looked at Baoyu. Baoyu thought about it, then clapped her hands and smiled, "Yes, yes, it is the Xiaoxiang Pavilion of 'You Fenglaiyi'."

Jia's mother also laughed and said, "It's no wonder that girl Yun likes such a quiet and elegant place. No matter what, she ordered someone to clean it up and let girl Yun live."

Because of the planning of many things, two old mothers and four maids were added to each place. Except for the maids who accompanied each nanny, there were also those who were in charge of cleaning.On the 22nd, they all went in together, and when they were in the garden, they were embroidered with tricks, and the willows were blowing in the fragrant wind. They were not as lonely as before.

The life in the Grand View Garden was very boring, no different from when I lived in Lixiangyuan in Jiafu.After Baochai lived there for a few days, he received a letter from his uncle Wang Ziteng.After reading the letter, I talked to Aunt Xue again.
