The heart of the red mansion is like jade

Xue Baochai said a few more words with Mrs. Wang, and then took Yinger back to Wutong Garden. Yinger saw that there was no one around, and said to Baochai with a smile, "Young lady, now the second wife has agreed I want to help save the uncle and hand over the housekeeping to you, and our Xue family will get better again." Xue Baochai was also very happy, so she said to Ying'er: "That's right, but Miss Ying'er, I am married to Jia now. The mansion is from the Jia family, don't say things like our Xue family again, be careful to provoke right and wrong."

Ying'er quickly agreed, and said: "Girl, I will pay attention." Xue Baochai said again: "I can't call you a girl anymore, but grandma." Ying'er also agreed, and said: "Grandma, you will take care of it from now on." The family must take good care of the eldest wife, the second and fourth girls, and see if they dare to bully you in the future." Xue Baochai's smiling face immediately darkened after hearing Ying'er's words, and a sternness flashed in his eyes. the insult that day.

It turned out that Concubine Bei Jing asked Grandma Xu to send Xichun and Yingchun back in person, and Grandmother Xu said that Concubine Tai liked the two girls very much, which made Jia's mother very happy.After Mammy Xu left, Mother Jia praised Yingchun and Xichun greatly, and even Yingchun, who was often neglected by her before, was praised by her.They also rewarded them with many things.Xue Baochai looked at Jiamu, Mrs. Xing and others praising Yingchun and Xichun, and saw the gift that the concubine gave to the two, and felt very uncomfortable. She always felt that she was the most beautiful, and now she thinks nothing is as good as her Yingchun Xichun But he got the blue eyes of Empress Dowager Beijing.She felt that it was because she got married too early, and if she had the opportunity to meet the concubine, the concubine would also like her.Thinking of this, she looked at Yingchun Xichun with strong jealousy and unwillingness.

But Xichun said: "It's not because of Sister Lin, if it's not because of Sister Lin, the concubine would not be so kind to us." Jia's mother's face darkened and she recovered immediately, Madam Xing said with a smile: "Young lady is really a good girl. Blessed." Xue Baochai became even more angry when she heard this, and cursed in her heart: She is just a foxy girl with no father or mother, but she has such good luck, seeing her sickly crooked body, why didn't she die sooner? .Xue Baochai had seen Shui Rong before, and she was astonished as a heavenly man at that time, thinking that it would be good to be a concubine even if she couldn't be a concubine or side concubine.It's just that Shui Rong has a noble status and she doesn't even have the opportunity to be a concubine. She is a very utilitarian woman, so she doesn't think too much about useless things for herself, so she puts this matter aside and focuses on marrying her. precious jade.Now thinking that Daiyu lives in the Beijing Prince's Mansion every day, maybe she can be with the Prince of Beijing every day, I feel very uncomfortable.His complexion is also not good.

But Mrs. Xing said: "Today is the first time Baoyu's daughter-in-law sees the two girls after they got married." Xue Baochai was taken aback, and then understood what Mrs. Xing meant. Mrs. Xing asked herself to salute the two, so she moved forward A few steps gave Yingchun and Xichun a blessing, and when they were about to speak, Madam Xing said: "Baoyu's wife is the second wife, so she should be very polite. Originally, it was said that Baoyu's wife is the most polite, but it doesn't seem like it."

Xue Baochai was anxious, she didn't expect that this old lady who looked down on her at all would force her to bow to two girls she didn't like at all, so she looked at Jia's mother, and Jia's mother saw Xue Baochai looking at her, she had always been protective Erfang, now Mrs. Xing asked Xue Baochai to give a big gift, but Erfang's face was slapped, and said: "Their children are in the same family, and they grew up together as sisters, so it's good to see a gift."

Xue Baochai breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and was about to thank Mother Jia when she heard a cold voice say, "I don't have such sisters, I only have my second sister, my third sister and two cousins, and my sister Lin and one cousin, nothing else." The elder sister of Waisilu."

Xue Baochai was furious, and immediately wanted to scold Xichun, but Yinger pulled her clothes from behind and she tried her best to restrain herself. Xue Baochai had to bring tea and kneel in front of the two of them, and Yingchun wanted to be gentle, so she took it. After drinking the tea, Xichun just took the tea and put it on the table, said coldly: "I don't dare to drink the tea, maybe I will die tomorrow."

Xichun always remembers that Xue Baochai gave Daiyu the poisonous bird's nest, and the most important person in her heart is Daiyu, and even Yingchun and Jia Zhen have to stay behind.It turned out that Daiyu stopped her from getting trouble with Xue Baochai, and Xichun was also afraid that they would bully Daiyu even more after she got into trouble with Xue Baochai, so she endured it all the time.Now that Daiyu is no longer the concubine of Beijing in Jia's family, she no longer wants to bear it anymore, and decides to humiliate Xue Baochai to vent her anger on Daiyu.

Xue Baochai was shocked when she heard the words, and her face turned pale. Her first reaction was to find out that she had poisoned Daiyu. Then she thought that Lin Daiyu had been poisoned. He knew about the poison. The child is about to fail.Thinking of this, she felt much better, and there was a smile on her face.

When the people saw her in a daze at first, then they started to laugh, feeling very flustered, Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "Baoyu's daughter-in-law must have lost her mind." Now Mrs. Xing and Sister Feng have a very good relationship, so they naturally know I hated Mrs. Wang and Xue's family for poisoning Sister Feng's children, and hated them to the bone. Now that I have the opportunity, I will naturally humiliate Xue Baochai severely, and it can be regarded as a sigh of relief for the child in Sister Feng's belly.

Xue Baochai recovered after hearing Mrs. Xing's words. After listening to Mrs. Xing's words, she hated secretly. She didn't look down on Mrs. Xing, who came from a small family, but now she has repeatedly humiliated her and scolded Mrs. Xing in her heart Eight generations of ancestors.It's just that it didn't show on his face, he just bowed his head and knelt there, but the hands in his sleeves were about to tear off the veil he was wearing.

After hearing Mrs. Xing's words, Jia's mother was not happy, but she didn't show it. At that time, Jia Mu saw that everyone was acting in different ways, and she was afraid that they would disperse if they were arguing.

Xue Baochai went back to Wutong Garden and went into the East Wing. She closed the door and cried while smashing things in the room. After losing her temper for a while, she felt much better.In a blink of an eye, seeing that all the furnishings in the house had become rubbish, I became even more angry in my heart. I hated Mrs. Xing Yingchun and Xichun, and vowed to make them look good sooner or later.

Now that Yinger brought up the old story again, she directly brought up Xue Baochai's hatred, Xue Baochai said: "Just wait, I remember all those people and girls." Yinger looked at Xue Baochai's distorted face, thinking in her heart The girls and women who have treated her badly recently, thinking that now they have the opportunity, they must torture them well.Two people have the same idea, and if there is a master, there must be a servant.

The two of them talked a little more and gradually became happy in their hearts. While talking, they walked into the main room of Wutong Garden.Seeing that Jia Baoyu was joking with the little girl Huier, and Sheyue was watching, Xue Baochai gave Huier a hard look, which scared Huier so much that she couldn't speak.She is only twelve or thirteen years old, and she loves to play. Now that Jia Baoyu wants to play tricks on her, she has to agree. She never thought that Xue Baochai would give her such a stare when he came back.Jia Baoyu was standing next to Hui'er, so he was shocked when he saw Xue Baochai's fierce eyes. Is this still his dignified and gentle sister Bao?Looking at Baochai's eyes is also a little more fearful.

Seeing that Jia Baoyu and Huier were frightened by him, Xue Baochai felt annoyed in his heart, because he was too happy today and got carried away for a while.He hurriedly withdrew a bracelet from his hand and handed it to Huier, and asked her with a smile. Huier was terrified at first, but now that Xue Baochai talked to her, she only answered nonchalantly, but seeing that Xue Baochai was not angry, she still spoke gently While she was chatting, Huier secretly raised her head to look at Xue Baochai, but saw the smile on her face. After all, she was younger and felt that she had made a mistake, so she also joked with Xue Baochai.Seeing the two chatting happily, Jia Baoyu was also a little surprised in his heart. Could it be that he was wrong?He tried to interject a sentence, but seeing Xue Baochai's answer with a smile on his face, he immediately relaxed and chatted with the two of them.

Looking at this scene, Musk Moon was really worried about the little girl Huier, so she thought she must find a chance to talk to Huier, but seeing Huier's current state, I'm afraid she wouldn't listen to her.But he made up his mind to stay away from Baoyu, and didn't say much except what was necessary.Now it's almost the age to be released, and I think I can go out in the first half of the year.

Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai Hui'er played together for more than an hour. Seeing Jia Baoyu thinking about playing, Xue Baochai laughed and said, "Second Master, it's been a long time since today is over. Why don't Second Master go to Master's place to have a look? Going to read some books?" Xue Baochai knew that Jia Huan and Jia Lan were both working hard on their studies, but his master kept using his headache as an excuse to not read books all day long, so his head happened on the day of their marriage. It was smashed, and now everyone in the yard said she was Kefu, she didn't want Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang to know that Jia Baoyu's head was still hurting, so she didn't dare to persuade her deeply.Sure enough, Jia Baoyu said: "I'm not going. My head still hurts from being hit by the plaque. How can I stay with you when I go to read a book?"

Xue Baochai hated that iron could not be made into steel, but now that Jia Baoyu said it was because of the headache from being hit, she stopped talking.When he turned his eyes and thought of an idea, he sent the little girl out, sat down next to Baoyu, and asked, "Second Master, do you still want to marry Sister Lin?" Jia Baoyu laughed and said, "I admit it, I'm dreaming." I want to marry her." Xue Baochai was angry when she heard that Jia Baoyu didn't even hide it, but now is not the time to be angry, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "Now sister Lin is a daughter of the Beijing Palace, but sister Lin doesn't care. The people in the palace will not let my sister marry for nothing, and they should study hard and marry Sister Lin next year after being admitted to the first prize."

Jia Baoyu heard that what Xue Baochai said was also reasonable, so he smiled and said, "Then I will go to read tomorrow." "I just hope that the second master will not forget Baochai after he marries his younger sister." Jia Baoyu looked at Xue Baochai's pear blossoms with rain, and felt very pity, and said immediately: "Even if she married Sister Lin, she would call you elder sister. The three of us live happily together every day, okay?" Xue Baochai heard Jia Baoyu's words, and suddenly thought that if Lin Daiyu really became Jia Baoyu's concubine, why not let herself be flattened and rounded?Thinking of this, she decided to persuade Mrs. Wang to take Lin Daiyu as her concubine. She also didn't want to think about Lin Daiyu's status as the daughter of a second-rank official, that person would dare to make Daiyu her concubine.

On the second day, Mrs. Wang sent someone to bring the account book and keys to Xue Baochai. Xue Baochai was so happy, but when she read the account book carefully, she couldn't laugh anymore.The remaining money in the account book does not exceed 1 taels of silver. Now that the New Year is approaching, the various governments need silver for their exchanges. How can these silver be enough.Xue Baochai felt that this was a hot potato, but she had already picked it up and she couldn't return it. Besides, she urgently needs the power of housekeeper. Relying on the reputation of the housekeeper grandma of the Rongguo Mansion to improve the Xue family's shop.

Thinking of this, Xue Baochai gritted her teeth and took the account book. She first carefully looked at the daily expenses of Jia's mansion, only to find that it would cost several hundred taels of silver a day just for food.Xue Baochai looked at the remaining 1 taels of silver in the account, and knew that she had to make up for it by herself. Fortunately, her dowry was quite a lot, and she could hold on for a while. She would wait for Xue Pan to rescue her. Don't worry about money anymore.Just as she was thinking about what to do, Ying'er replied, "Grandma, women are coming over."

Xue Baochai put these account books aside first, and went to the west wing with Ying'er's hand. Because she was afraid of disturbing Baoyu, she set the place where the incident happened.Entering the west wing room, I saw more than a dozen women standing respectfully, saw her come in and hurriedly gave a big gift.

He had to salute everyone he met, and he was already full of anger.Now seeing everyone saluting to him respectfully, his vanity was greatly satisfied, and he felt the importance of the steward even more, so he decided to do well no matter what, and only held the power of stewardship in his own hands.

When the women saw the ceremony, they answered one by one. When Xue Baochai was at home, she was always the housekeeper. Now these trivial matters can't bother her, so they solved them one by one. These women saw Xue Baochai deal with it. It is also appropriate not to say much.He only respectfully agreed.Not long after these women finished their work and wanted to go down, Xue Baochai hurriedly called everyone, and Ying'er brought over a tray with many red envelopes on it, and Ying'er said: "You mothers have worked hard, this is Please accept a little bit from our grandma, all the mothers."

Everyone hurriedly thanked Xue Baochai, and each scooped up a red envelope and left. Ying'er smiled and said, "Grandma, these people really believe in you now." Just don't drag your feet." Ying'er said: "Of course not." Xue Baochai looked at the key in his hand and suddenly wanted to go to the storeroom, so he took Ying'er and a few wives to the storeroom.

Xue Baochai went into the storeroom, she was from a royal merchant, saw many good things, and was stunned by the storehouse of Jia's mansion.Everything in the warehouse is high-quality, although it is not the best, but it is better than more.Xue Baochai thought about how to make these things her own.She was originally a businessman, and when she saw a good thing, she wanted to keep it for herself, but after thinking about it for a while, she couldn't come up with a good idea, so she went back to Wutong Garden.

In Wutong Garden, Jia Baoyu was talking to Sheyue, when she saw Xue Baochai coming back, she hurriedly asked, "Sister Bao, where have you been?" Xue Baochai said, "I just went to the storeroom. Didn't you say that you are going to study today, Second Lord? Jia Baoyu laughed and said, "I've been there, and I just came back now. If you don't believe me, ask Sheyue." Sheyue was pouring tea for Xue Baochai. Seeing that Musk Moon was respectful and polite, it was not difficult for her, so she just nodded to show that she understood.Jia Baoyu said again: "Master is very talkative today. He said that I read very well, and that if I am tired, I can read at home." After speaking, he looked up at Xue Baochai.

It turned out that Jia Baoyu went to his master to study in the morning, and Jia Huan and Jia Lan had already arrived. The master had also lectured to them for half a day. Now that Baoyu came, he didn't say much, but let Baoyu sit down and listen .Then Jia Baoyu is not a person who can sit and live. He wants to drink tea for a while and feels tired for a while, which makes the master very angry, but he also knows Jia Baoyu's status, so he doesn't dare to control him, but he doesn't want to see him he.Later, Jia Baoyu couldn't sit still anymore, and said that he wanted to go back because of the headache, and the master was just asking for it, so he allowed him to go back, and told him that if the headache still hurts, he wouldn't come in the afternoon.Jia Baoyu was naturally happy, and immediately went back to Wutong Garden with his books in his arms.

Xue Baochai didn't know what was going on. Seeing that Jia Baoyu was willing to study now, she was also happy, so she smiled and said, "Second Master must be tired after reading all morning. Ying'er, hurry up and scoop up some food for Second Master." Yes." Ying'er went down with a smile, and Jia Baoyu smiled and said, "Sister Bao, the weather is very nice today, let's go for a walk in the garden, I haven't been there for a long time."

Xue Baochai was taken aback when she heard the words. She hadn't been to the Grand View Garden for a long time, especially the Hengwu Courtyard where she lived before. I think the herbs in the courtyard can be harvested now.So they agreed, and the two of them took Yinger Sheyue and they went to the Grand View Garden.Because the Hengwu Courtyard is closer to theirs, the two of them went to the Hengwu Courtyard first. Jia Baoyu saw that the flowers and plants in the yard had picked up red fruits, and felt surprised, and said with a smile: "Sister Bao, these fruits are quite beautiful." How could Xue Baochai be in the mood to see this, she only perfunctorily entered the house where she used to live, but felt a little uncomfortable when she saw a layer of gray inside, how could the little girl looking at the yard expect them to come, these few days He didn't feel well either, so he was lazy, and now seeing Xue Baochai's expression, he was terrified, and hurriedly knelt down for her.

Xue Baochai naturally had to show a magnanimous look in front of Jia Baoyu, so she helped the little girl up and said with a smile, "I can't be lazy in the future." The little girl quickly agreed, and Xue Baochai and Jia Baoyu left Went to Yihong Courtyard, but Xue Baochai gave Yinger a wink before leaving, Yinger said that she wanted to pack up, Jia Baoyu naturally would not doubt it, so she took Xue Baochai's hand and left, Yinger heard the footsteps getting closer and closer The farther away, until he was sure that those people were gone, he turned around and slapped the little girl fiercely. The little girl didn't react for a while, so Yinger slapped her and fell to the ground.
