The Red Mansion's Late Welcome Spring

Mrs. Xing walked into Jiamu Courtyard with her brother, sister-in-law and several juniors. Before reaching the main house door, lively laughter came from inside. An introduction from relatives and relatives to say hello.

Uncle Xing, Jia Lian and Xiao Yun are all men, so after saluting to Jia's mother, Jia Lian took the lead and went back to Jia's mansion, taking Xue Biao along with him, leaving only a few female relatives here to talk .

Seeing Xing Xiuyan, Xue Baoqin immediately stepped forward and took her hand enthusiastically, and said, "I was wondering if you would come over today, and if you didn't come, I would ask my sister to find out where you live for me. I wish I could come visit one day."

"So you two have known each other for a long time?" Mother Jia asked in surprise, looking at the familiar faces of the two little girls.

"Yes! We met on the way. We knew that we were all going to the capital, so we came together. Uncle Xing said that we are related to each other anyway, and we should help each other. Otherwise, it's just me and my brother. Although we are far apart I'm used to running, so it's still a bit dangerous." Xue Baoqin nodded calmly and replied.

"Girl Qin is really considerate and considerate, just like girl Bao, don't blame me for getting happier the more I look at it, let me tell you, girl Qin has become my goddaughter, and she will be regarded as a girl of Rongguo Mansion in the future, no one can treat her badly. Madam Wang said to Madam Xing and the others with a smile on her face.

"It's her good fortune that Miss Qin is able to catch the eyes of the second wife. Hey! I came here in a hurry just now, so I didn't prepare a congratulatory gift. Later, I will host a banquet to celebrate the second wife's having a daughter." Wang Xifeng responded with a smile. peace.

"Second brother and sister are fast. I didn't even have time to meet Miss Qin, so I let you recognize me as my daughter. Fortunately, we, Xiuyan, are not bad, and we are our own family, so there is no need to do anything extra." Mrs. Xing said calmly from the side.

"Oh! Is my wife jealous? Or do you really not care about your daughter after I'm married? Do you have to compare your cousin with others? Sister Qin is naturally good, but everyone has their own beauty, but It can't be compared like this." Jia Yingchun covered her mouth and let out a chuckle, pretending to be aggrieved and coquettishly said.

"That's right, that's right, what the second sister said is right, I think everything is good when I look at it now... Hey! I should ask Xiren and the others to come and have a look, old lady, you must take sister Qin Sister Xiuyan and I will stay and live in our mansion, and there are still a few yards left and right." Jia Baoyu became insane for a while, and as he walked out, he never forgot to ask Jia Mu for Xue Baochai and Xing Xiuyan to stay.

"Okay, okay, be careful, and don't be in a hurry to see someone today." Mother Jia responded with a smile, and seeing Jia Baoyu walking away, she turned around and said to Xue Baoqin: "What Baoyu said just now is exactly me. I mean, why don't you just live in the garden with Tanchun and the others. Originally, Bao girl also lived in it, and they have been living here since they entered Beijing. It's a pity that a lot of space was used when the garden was built. There was no suitable yard for their family, so Aunt Xue moved back to the old house. Girl Bao was worried that her mother would be at home alone, so she followed her back. Now that you are here, it is just right for you two to move in together. The garden will be even more lively."

"Old lady, this matter is not easy to handle. Baochai is going to get married after the new year, and there are still many things to do at home. How can she still live in a relative's house at this time? Besides, Baoqin has already had a family, so she can't say no." At some point, the other party will come over to make an appointment for the wedding, and it's even worse for her to live here." Aunt Xue retorted immediately.

"The old lady is very kind. It's not easy to refuse as a junior. It's just like my mother said. It's inconvenient for me and my sister to live in relatives' homes. It's not good if there is any misunderstanding." Xue Baochai smiled calmly. .

"Why? Girl Bao's wedding has already been set?" Mrs. Wang has always felt uncomfortable when her younger sister set up Xue Baochai's marriage without saying hello to her, but at that time she was troubled by financial problems. Ruma, so I never had the intention to pursue this matter. Now that Aunt Xue mentioned it again, it was tantamount to provoking the depression in her heart again. You must know that Xue Baochai was a large fortune to her, but now it has become someone else's. .

"When did Bao girl make an appointment? Why didn't anyone tell me? Aunt Xue also saw someone else, and she didn't move out, so she wasn't a family anymore. She didn't tell me about such a big matter. I don't know what the appointment was." Which family is it?" At this moment, Jia's mother also recalled, knowing that Aunt Xue did not just talk casually, she felt a burst of joy in her heart, and a smile appeared on her face unavoidably.

"Hey! It's Yang Shilang's third concubine son, who plans to take the scientific examination career, because Mrs. Lin said that Mr. Yang has passed the autumn exam this year, and his teacher estimates that he will be the top three in the spring exam next year. , but there should be no problem with the second-class Jinshi, and because he is not too young, Yang Shilang wants his son to be admitted to the Jinshi, and find a place to train in other places, so he thought about booking a date to prepare first, so as not to waste time. In case the marriage is not completed in time after the appointment order comes down, our two families have been looking at it for a long time, and then we will set it on April [-]th next year." Aunt Xue smiled when she talked about the son-in-law-to-be who made her very satisfied. .

"Chunwei hasn't arrived yet, so he is so sure that he will win? My sister, please don't be stupid." Mrs. Wang said a little sourly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Since their benefactors have said that, they can't be wrong, but how could the other party fall in love with Bao girl?" Jiamu thought about it, and became a little confused. The Xue family has no connections in the officialdom. That's why they have to rely on their Rongguo Mansion, but how come Xue Baochai has no news about him?

"Fortunately, Ying girl asked Baochai to show her face at her Jiji ceremony. As a result, many wives knew that Baochai hadn't been married yet. Some thought she was good-looking, and some thought she was well-behaved. We After pondering for a long time, Baochai finally chose the third master of the Yang family." Aunt Xue replied.

"Oh... I just don't know who the Qin girl promised?" Mother Jia continued to ask.

"Girl Qin promised Mei Hanlin's son, but her father passed away the year before last and is still in the filial piety period. Her mother means to let his brother and sister come to live in the capital for a while. Anyway, we have a care here. When we leave After filial piety, the Mei family should show something." Aunt Xue replied again.

"Mei Hanlin? Why did you settle on his family?" Jia's mother was a little puzzled. The Xue family could also enter into a marriage contract with that kind of scholarly family. It seemed that Xue Baoqin's father was also knowledgeable.

"I'm not too sure about this. I heard that when his father came to Beijing that year, he happened to meet Mei Hanlin, and somehow talked about the marriage of his children, so it happened." Aunt Xue smiled wryly, and said somewhat ambiguously. .

"There is always some unexplainable fate between people. Since the two girls have good marriages, I don't need to worry about it, my old lady." Jia Mu nodded, and didn't mean to ask further questions. .

After everyone chatted for a few more words, Mother Jia felt a little tired, so she asked Mrs. Xing and the others to go back, and did not mention Xue Baoqin and the others to stay.

Jia Lian's big men, except for Jia Lian, have all walked around outside the capital, and Xue Bian is also a good eloquent, and his knowledge is more than a little bit better than Xue Pan, so they have a lot of conversations Huan, even Mrs. Xing and the others didn't know when they would come back. When the servant came over and asked if he wanted to change to dinner, they were shocked to realize that it was getting dark.

"I didn't expect that a long time would pass after just talking, Long'er, go and see if my wife and grandma are back." Jia Lian sighed as he looked at the sky outside the window.

"It's been a long time since I came back, but I just heard that the men are chatting, so I don't need to disturb you." Long'er replied quickly.

"Then serve the dinner, uncle, let's eat first, and my sister-in-law and I will take you back later." Jia Lian heard that Mrs. Xing and the others had already returned, so she didn't need to ask to know that Wang Xifeng would let the kitchen take everyone away. The meals are all ready, how dare he not leave guests to eat in the mansion.

"Hey! Now that Mrs. Xing and Second Mistress are back, my aunt and two younger sisters have left Rongguo Mansion too, right? If so, it's not good for me to stay any longer." After hearing Jia Lian's words, Xue Biao Hastily got up and cupped his hands and said.

"That's right! Aunt Xue and Sister Bao didn't come here? Long'er, go and ask, where are Mrs. Xue and the two girls?" Jia Lian slapped her hand on her leg, saying that he had really forgotten this. Something, he stretched his neck and shouted outside.

Everyone only vaguely heard the servant's echo, and then fell silent, and after a while, Long Er came back and said: "Master, Mrs. Xue and the two Miss Xue are sitting in the wife's room. Grandma also said Let you have fun, if it's late, at most go back tomorrow morning."

"Okay, okay, brother Xue, now you can feel at ease, let's continue, continue, my wife has spoken, I dare not let you go early, or you will be punished if you turn around." Jia Lian Listen, turned around and hurriedly said to Xue Biao.

"What's so good about it? It's Xue's first visit and he's bothering you now..." Xue Biao said a little flattered.

"It's better than being punished, right? If you don't believe me, ask my sister-in-law, my daughter-in-law is not a good talker. She said one thing, but I can't say anything. My sister said...what is his name? A good man?! Yes! That's it!" Jia Lian was probably reeking of alcohol, and his speech was in a nonsensical manner.

"My brother-in-law is drunk... But what he said is correct. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are the only ones who dare to say no to what my sister-in-law said in this mansion, and no one else dares to say no." Xiao Yun echoed with a smile.

"Can't you even tell your wife?" Xue Biao asked curiously and puzzled.

"Of course my wife can. It's just that she doesn't care about her natal family's affairs. It's not easy to let people say that her daughter is married, and she has to go back to her natal family to dictate things all day long." Xiao Yun shook his head and smiled.

After hearing Xiao Yun's words, Xue Biao was even more puzzled by this Jia family. He always felt that their demeanor was not at all like the indifference of a rich family. After seeing his aunt and cousin, he was even more surprised that the cousin actually went out to do business? !It's been several months since I left, and I heard that I won't be back until a year ago, this...he remembers that his cousin always dislikes those things the most?Could it be possible that a trip to the capital can change one's temperament?The more Xue Biao thought about it, the more curious he became...
