Besides, Jiamu, after hearing the legend of the golden jade, she was not very happy.If in the past, when Daiyu was still clingy in front of her, she might not mind it.It's different now, Daiyu wants to go home, and gradually stops kissing her.The granddaughter who had been steadily asked to grab her hand, walked away from her in the blink of an eye.Considering Lin Ruhai's influence in Yangzhou and Daiyu's only daughter, Jia's mother didn't have to bother to count the benefits.

If it weren't for Daiyu's poor health and unpleasant temperament, she would have settled this marriage early.

Now there is a new choice, Baochai of the Xue family is stable and good-natured, and she handles affairs properly, so it must be good to be a housekeeper's wife.However, she was born as a merchant, even if she is an imperial merchant, her status is not quite suitable for Rongfu.Besides, her elder brother Xue Pan doesn't look like a promising person.

The two girls have their strengths and weaknesses, and it was really difficult for Jiamu to choose for a while.It would be great if the advantages of the hatchback could be combined in one place.

At this moment, Mother Jia finally felt a sense of crisis, worried that because of these rumors, something might go wrong on Daiyu's side, and she had to find a way to stabilize her as soon as possible.She hurriedly sullenly called for the eldest daughter-in-law of the housekeeper, Mrs. Xing, to come over.

"Our family has a large population, so it is inevitable that there will be a lot of right and wrong. The servants have their own mouths, and good things can be said to be bad, and nothing can be said to be good. It is really indisputable. I don't know how you manage the house. I haven't seen it before. Why did the news spread so quickly in the mansion. You shouldn’t bother with this matter? Can you still drink tea and eat?” Jiamu sneered.

"My mother is right. People in the mansion used to be more lax than they are now, and I haven't seen any news spread so quickly. There must be some reason for the trouble this time." The meaning in Xing's words was obvious, and she When the housekeeper was in charge, the servants in the family were already much more honest, and if something happened, it might not be because of the servant, but because of the source of the gossip.Obviously, this gold and jade saying was deliberately done by someone.

Mother Jia looked at Xing Shi uncomfortably. Although she was bewildered, she could still hear clearly.Xing's words both inside and outside imply that the Xue family made a small move.But Jia's mother didn't believe it. Xing was born stingy and small-minded, and he liked to treat gentlemen with the heart of a villain.Aunt Xue has a gentle temperament and is enthusiastic, and she kindly plays cards with her, an old lady, every day.How can such a person who respects the elderly be so bad?Jia's mother knew that Xing was jealous of her daughter-in-law Wang's rich background, and she knew that she would naturally turn her anger on Wang's younger sister, Aunt Xue.

"I told you to discipline those servants who talk badly, but you said such unreasonable things to me. If you don't like to control this family, you will still have your younger siblings." Jiamu said angrily.

Xing smiled helplessly, and decided not to be as knowledgeable as Jia's mother in front of her.Anyway, she won't give up the real rights.As long as she doesn't let go, no one can take away the housekeeping power from her.Wang Xifeng is Mrs. Wang's niece. Something happened to her, and Mrs. Wang's face was dull.Based on this alone, Mrs. Wang is not qualified to compete with her for the housekeeping power.In fact, the Xing family doesn't care about this right, but because the family is getting more and more decadent under Wang's management.As long as the old lady is not dead, the first house and the second house cannot be separated, and she has to hold the housekeeper right for her own benefit and for her future life.

Mother Jia babbled on for a while, and this time, besides accusing Xing's housekeeper of being incompetent, she added another point, saying that Xing's belly is small.

Xing endured and endured, seeing Jia's mother endlessly.Yin said with a smile: "I remember! When it comes to caressing, I have a little problem. I can't help it. Who told me that my background is not good. But think about it again, I love to care about things, and I will manage things carefully and properly." Speaking of fussing, there is someone in our family who is more fussy than me. No, my niece came here a few days ago and said she would stay for a while."

Mother Jia nodded. Mrs. Xing had already told her about this matter.

"Ke Jiner from Zhou Rui's family inquired about her share and expenses, what do you think she cares about?" Xing smiled and narrowed her eyes.

Jia Mu's complexion changed, she looked at Xing Shi slightly surprised, and soon had the answer in her heart.Zhou Rui's family is in front of Mrs. Xing, so she inquired about any news, of course it was for Mrs. Wang.Although it is true that the Xue family's expenses do not come from the Rong Mansion, the second daughter-in-law still needs to worry about how many taels of silver the Xing family's niece spent?Keep staring at Miss Xing?

Jia Mu didn't believe it, so she dismissed Xing Shi with doubts in her heart.Looking back, Mother Jia asked Mrs. Wang about it.

Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes, and explained to Jia Mu with surprise on her face: "I don't mean anything else, mother, you know that my sister-in-law used to be so small-minded, and she always liked to underestimate the status of people around her. I asked for it. It's about caring about the child."

"That's the way it is. I said you don't care about it. Her family is ruined, and the child is pitiful. You can raise it in the mansion, and it won't cost much. But your sister-in-law is narrow-minded, and she insists on it." I misunderstood you, I insisted on paying the child's share, even the money for food and clothing on weekdays." Jiamu said.

Mrs. Wang raised her eyebrows in surprise: "It's like this, then she really misunderstood me."

"Don't worry about her, let's see how long she survives!" Mother Jia said angrily.

Within a day, two people were found out about the marriage. One was Ying'er, a servant girl by Baochai's side, and the other was from Zhou Rui's family, who was by Mrs. Wang's side.

Mrs. Xing told Aunt Xue, and with Aunt Xue's reluctant permission, she brought her maid Ying'er and Zhou Rui's family over, and they immediately knelt down in front of Jia Mu.Mrs. Xing quickly communicated: "Take them for no reason. The servant girl secretly criticized the master for a few words, but it was nothing serious at all. This girl is very powerful. Taking advantage of the time to go to the kitchen, she talked loudly with twenty or thirty A woman talked about this matter. What do those elderly women do in their spare time? They love to gossip. One of them is not enough here, and Zhou Rui’s family can also say that there are six or seven women who are full of it. I heard it from her mouth with my own ears."

There is also such a benefit in Xing's control of the housekeeper's power. Once in power, he has the right to appoint and dismiss personnel. If he uses his position to intimidate them a little, he is not afraid that those people will not confess to these two people.

Seeing this, Jia's mother completely collapsed, she didn't know how to face Xing.Looking at this posture now, it's really not that the Xing family is stingy, it's indeed someone doing it on purpose.

Jia's mother survived the backyard's calculations back then. As a first wife, the thing she hates the most is that someone plays tricks behind her back.Jia's mother thought that after a while, when Wang Xifeng's matter was forgotten, she would help the second daughter-in-law to get the housekeeper back.Thinking about it now, it was ridiculous for her to have such a thought.Fortunately, the two sisters are the daughters of the royal family, so they are able to do such dirty calculations behind their backs.

After all, Mother Jia is old and likes to turn a blind eye.Eyelids drooping tiredly, she completely stopped thinking about Mrs. Wang being a housekeeper, so she waved her hand and dismissed Mrs. Xing, who was also obstructing her eyes.As for Ying'er, Aunt Xue will definitely not leave her to continue to embarrass her.Zhou Rui's family gave him a lighter punishment, and he received ten boards and went back to recuperate.

Baochai was ill, Daiyu ignored him, and Baoyu had nowhere to go.So he came to Jiamu with a sad face.

When Jia's mother saw him, tears filled her eyes, and La Baoyu cried passionately in her arms: "Now my old lady is only left with you, my sweetheart!"

Baoyu didn't understand why Jiamu was crying, and he felt uncomfortable because Daiyu ignored him, so he cried with Jiamu.Later, when Jia's mother recovered, seeing that Baoyu was still unhappy, she ordered Xiren to take Baoyu for a walk.

Baoyu was idle and bored, so he started wandering around. When he happened to be near the garden, he saw a beautiful figure in the gazebo in front of him.Dressed in emerald green brocade, she has a slender figure and a fresh and demure temperament.Baoyu's eyes were straightened, and no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure out who this strange figure belonged to.Baoyu couldn't help speeding up his pace anxiously. As he got closer, he became more and more infatuated, and he became more and more sure that he had never seen such an out-of-this-world woman in Rongfu.If he had seen such an extraordinary person, how could he forget it?

While looking at her beautiful figure, Baoyu wondered what she looked like.When she was about to walk in, the maid beside her saw Baoyu and said something to the girl in a low voice, and the girl turned her head to look this way curiously.Only then did Baoyu see the real face of the other party. He was really a delicate and beautiful woman, beautiful and dignified.

Baoyu was fascinated by it, and couldn't help asking the girl: "What's the girl's name, where did she come from, is it heaven?"

Xing Xiuyan had long heard that there was a favored baby named Baoyu in the Rong Mansion, seeing him for the first time seeing her, she made such frivolous and teasing remarks, she couldn't help blushing, and bowed her head slightly annoyed and remained silent.

"Hey, why are you here?" Dai Yula came to welcome the spring, but saw that there was another person in the pavilion, which was Baoyu.

Seeing Yingchun Daiyu coming, Xing Xiuyan hurriedly hid behind them, bowed her head and said nothing.

"Look at you scaring people." Yingchun sighed.

"Hey..." Baoyu scratched his head and smiled, and didn't argue with Daiyu Yingchun, in short, they can take care of themselves, and they can say whatever they want.

Daiyu felt hateful when she saw Baoyu's smile, and taunted him: "Why are you here? Why don't you go to your sister Bao? Why do I hear people say that only jade with gold is good? It's a good match." I don’t know when you will spread the good news, but I will give you a big gift at that time!”

Hearing this, Baoyu looked at Daiyu in amazement, and said anxiously, "Sister Lin, it doesn't matter what others say about me. How can you look at me like that? I can learn from your thoughts. If you dare to disobey, I wish God—”

"Okay!" Yingchun cut off the conversation, pulled Xing Xiuyan behind her, frowned and said to Baoyu, "Don't scare her."

Baoyu was choked, staring at the beautiful Xing Xiuyan in a daze, laughed foolishly, apologized quickly, and also apologized to Daiyu.

"It's getting late, we're going back, and you should go back early too." Yingchun looked like an older sister, protecting her two younger sisters and leaving safely.Baoyu chased him all the way, and when he saw Xiaohong coming out of Mrs. Xing's courtyard, Mrs. Xing would show up again later, so she stopped, turned around and ran away in fright.

When Xing heard about Baoyu's encounter with Xing Xiuyan, she hurriedly called her to come and told her to stay away from him.Xing even felt a little regretful, she shouldn't have made Xing Xiuyan so beautiful.As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Xing Xiuyan dressed up carefully, and her appearance is no worse than that of Bao Daiyu.Baoyu is a person who "feels refreshed when he sees his daughter". He suddenly saw Xing Xiuyan's grace and demeanor, how can he not think about it?

Xing didn't say that Baoyu had the guts to be "sexy", but his temperament of sticking to other girls' "good friends" was enough trouble.

"Less contact, it's best not to. I won't say much about him. You've been in the mansion for a long time, and sooner or later you'll understand." Xing said.

Before Xing Xiuyan entered Jia's mansion, she had heard rumors about this Second Master Bao.Now that she looked at her, she was indeed a flirtatious and worthless person. She had already gone through a difficult time, and finally got the help and love from her aunt. Of course, she would not be so stupid as to cause trouble for herself.

Two days later, someone saw Baoyu wandering around the big house from time to time, either asking about Daiyu or Xing Xiuyan.

Xing endured him for two days, and couldn't bear it anymore.

On this day, Mrs. Xing sent Jia She out, and when she turned around, she saw a person hiding behind the plane tree at the gate of the courtyard.Xing shi gave an order, and the man came out hesitantly with his head down.When Xing saw it was Baoyu, she rushed forward and said loudly, "Look up!"

Baoyu raised her head tremblingly, but she didn't dare to look Xing in the eyes.

Xing Shi looked at him, without saying a word, raised her arm high, and slapped Baoyu on the left cheek.
