Continuing the Fate of the Red Mansion and Jade Water

Sure enough, both Sister Feng and his wife changed their faces. Jia Lian knelt down in front of him, and Sister Feng also knelt down on the chair. Among them, the master is blindly lustful and tried every means to extract money from his grandson, but the grandson has no choice but to get some money outside, how can he support his father."

"In this way, you have become a filial son, that's all. I just want to test you, don't be scared like this, Feng girl, get up, people with a body don't need to kneel back and forth."

Jia Lian helped Sister Feng to stand up. Seeing the well-behaved appearance of the two, Jia's mother was very pleased. After being angry in the palace, she could still make up for it in her own house. No matter what, she had to keep her position. What did Tanchun do in the palace?

After Baochai arranged the affairs of the mansion, she sneaked back to Lixiangyuan's home. The elder brother and sister-in-law were talking with her mother. The family of three enjoyed themselves happily. Chai to enjoy, Aunt Xue said: "On the first day of the new year, if you are not busy in the mansion over there, how can a married girl come back to the house, and the latter one will come back with Brother Bao to be serious."

"Mom already treats me like water to be thrown out?"

Xue Pan saw that his sister's face was not right, so he winked and told Xiang Ling to take the girls down, and asked, "Who angered my sister, brother will vent it to you."

"Who else is there, brother, let me ask you, how did you get that yellow rosewood ornament back in the palace, and who is that person behind you?"

Aunt Xue who asked this question was dumbfounded, and hurriedly said: "What did Chai'er say? When did your brother have contact with the palace?"

Xue Pan smiled awkwardly. After all, Baochai found out, this smart and wise sister.

142 Former Sisters

At Xue Pan's request, Aunt Xue evaded into the back room full of doubts. For a while, only the brother and sister were left in the room. In Xue Pan's impression, the younger sister Baochai has always been dignified and elegant, hiding her secrets Yes, even if there is a grievance, she will not say it clearly. Even Feng girl in the mansion over there once commented that she is not concerned with her own business, and she shakes her head when she asks her. Now she can question him in such an annoyed manner. Is extremely angry.

"What happened to make my sister so angry." Xue Pan poured a cup of tea himself, and sent it to Baochai as if to please.

"I was reprimanded by the old lady today, saying that I am not worthy of claiming to be from the Xue family of the imperial merchant, and I can't even tell the value of the things, just because the three-star ornament of yellow rosewood has flowed into the palace."

"What's that?"

Baochai became even angrier when she heard this, and said, "What's the matter? Brother doesn't know, that thing used to belong to Sister Lin, and now the old lady is in the palace, and she just saw it in Guanju Palace."

Xue Pan said slowly: "If there is a seller, there will be a buyer. Both sides are voluntary, and the exchange is for money. You are ordered to exchange things for money, but you just sold them to me. As for me, the buyer, where will I get it? What does the lady have to do with it?"

"Brother, you are really doing something for the emperor. Did you send the few things you made a few days ago to the palace?"

Xue Pan neither admitted nor denied, just said with a smile: "Sister, brother was forcibly arrested in the prison, and when he was about to die, he was not afraid, but when he suddenly had a chance to live, brother I'm afraid, if it were you, would you choose to refuse? This matter is only beneficial to me, and I am just one of many pawns. If the girl has no physical defects, brother will not make such a bad move. Originally, I wanted to Brother Rajazhen went into the water, and now our family has another shop outside Chaoyangmen, in which there are shares of Jiazhen and Jialian, even the old man has added dark shares in it, don't worry, sister, if you make money, you Six and four."

"The Jia family is really poor, so what about Baoyu?" After all, it was a husband and wife relationship, and Baochai first thought of her husband who was not yet married.

"After getting married these days, my sister is very tired living in front of Baoyu. She is always on guard for fear of mistakes. I heard from Yinger that you also gave Baoyu the Musk Moon, but you didn't pass the bright road and set up two tables of wine. , It would be great to just marry and go back, and it will also show your virtuous reputation."

Two lines of tears flowed from Baochai's eyes, and Baoyu would sometimes want to get close to her, and she also wanted to snuggle in Baoyu's arms, especially after getting married, she felt that Baoyu was a male man, and she couldn't do it anymore. Treat him like a younger brother, but every time the two want to get closer because of talking a little more, Baochai will retreat. In front of Baoyu, she is very inferior. She can only make herself busy. Shorten the time spent in the same room with Baoyu.

"What should I do? The Jia family is now living on the basis of the old lady's body. Every year, Zhuangzi collects it, but it is enough to cover eight months' expenses. I have always thought that the Jia family is rich and powerful. Look at them. When my mother was visiting relatives, the money was spent like running water. I thought... I didn't know why Feng girl was able to let go without nostalgia. The servants said she was harsh, vicious, and aggressive. Now think about it. I am far inferior to her in terms of family management and financial management, she can at least maintain the dignity of the whole family, and I closed the Grand View Garden, laid off some useless people, and sold things, so it is inevitable that I will lose sight of the other." The more I continued, The more Baochai felt sad, what method did Feng girl use to make outsiders think that the people in the house lived well.

"Her housekeeper has always thought of something over the years. You don't have to be too discouraged. If the old lady doesn't know the difficulties of the housekeeper, why would she let you go into the small warehouse to get things out? From this, it can be seen that she understands everything , if she can give you her body, she will also give it to Feng girl."

Xue Pan's words enlightened her in a timely manner, so that Baochai no longer felt uncomfortable, and looked at her brother differently: "Then how should I survive in Jia's house?"

"When I was on the verge of life and death, I suddenly understood a lot of things. In the past, it was indeed too much nonsense. You were in Jia's family and only managed the financial management normally. My brother was outside and saved a family property for you in your name. In the future, once If the Dongchuang incident is revealed, you will not have any worries about your life."

"The Jia family won't let me go for a daughter-in-law like me who eats inside and out."

"But a brother will never give up on his sister. Don't worry, sister, we haven't moved yet because the Jia family is still useful. When the Jia family is vacated by us, I will pick you up. You have to be careful .”

Baochai nodded, got up and walked back, her mother-in-law's house was only a wall away, and when she passed through the corner gate, Baochai had already sorted out her confused thoughts. If there was one person she would be sorry for in this world, it would be Baoyu.

Tanchun waited in the side hall of Guanju Palace until late at night, only to see Daiyu come back surrounded by Xueyan and others, fully dressed, just as she walked out, she saw another man walking in, Tanchun knew it must be the emperor, He stopped and did not dare to move forward, he knelt down to pay his respects with the palace people around him, only to feel a yellow shadow shaking in front of his eyes, and when he raised his head again, the emperor had also entered the main hall.

Tanchun hurriedly said to the maid beside him: "Sister Ziluo, please inform the imperial concubine that Jia Tanchun has something important to report."

"You are not winking enough, the emperor is here, am I going in now to seek scolding, besides, the imperial concubine has been tired all day, she should also take a good rest, a slave should learn to be considerate of her master, let's talk about things tomorrow. "

Tanchun was in a hurry, grabbed Ziluo's sleeve and said: "Tanchun understands that the imperial concubine has worked hard, but I can only stay in the palace for one night, and I will go home tomorrow. If the imperial concubine is not free tomorrow I, am I not..." Ever since he came from Fengzao Palace, Tanchun has been staying in the side hall, looking out through the window, and the female relatives in Guanju Palace are constantly coming to greet him, even though he is anxious, he dare not act rashly Break into the main hall.

"The imperial concubine will stay with you. If you don't speak, who will drive you out? You just need to live steadily. It's getting late, so take a rest. Don't be annoying by walking around. If it wasn't for the imperial concubine , you can live in the courtyard next door at most, how can you live in the main courtyard.”

Tanchun entered the room slowly, this Ziluo seemed to be a court lady in charge, she was dressed differently from ordinary court ladies, and people often complained to her, Tanchun saw this, took out the banknote and wanted to do something about it , I didn't expect to be rejected by her, and Tanchun regretted it very much. Before giving the gift, Ziluo spoke politely. After seeing her behavior, her attitude was obviously not as good as before, and she was much more presumptuous.

Tanchun had endless thoughts in his heart, it was difficult to fall asleep, and he didn't know when he fell asleep. When he opened his eyes again, the room was already lit up. Looking at the sunlight reflected on the window, it was getting late.

Tanchun hurriedly got up and tidied herself up. After all these years of living, she has never woken up so late. Today, she made a fool of herself. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Ziluo looking at her with a smile that was not a smile. Tanchun's face turned red, and Ziluo said: "The imperial concubine has gone to serve breakfast by the queen mother's side, and she has ordered that I can see you sometime when I come back from Cishou Palace. You can eat something first, and then you can eat something." Wait here, someone will come and take you there."

Tanchun picked up his rice bowl, ate two mouthfuls, and said: "The imperial concubine is so honorable, do you still have to serve her personally? My eldest sister never mentioned it, so it turns out that in the palace, just like the common people, she has to serve the elders."

"The empress dowager is a mother-in-law, and the imperial concubine is a daughter-in-law. It is most appropriate to serve meals. The virtuous concubine did not have the qualifications when she was a virtuous concubine. Not everyone can be so lucky." The imperial concubine hates the Jia family. in Guanju
