The old lady Jia was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Girl Yuanchun, don't panic, with your character, you will never be buried. When the filial piety is over, the old ancestor will help you."
Yuan Chun smiled elegantly, "It's really Yuan Chun's fault to let the ancestors worry about Yuan Chun's affairs."
Yuan Chun, who has experienced the warmth and coldness of human relations, has a better bearing than before. Today, seeing Xue Baochai, she is not even a little bit dissatisfied. The old lady is very relieved to see it.
"Where is it, the old ancestors don't bother you much, you girls have not been trampled into the mud, Yingchun, you are now the eldest daughter, and when you are filial piety, you have to start seeing each other, but you can't do it again." It’s so plain and unadorned.”
Yingchun blushed, hesitated and didn't know how to answer, and finally only said a good word.
Compared with her, Tanchun's reaction is much more natural. To be honest, Tanchun is really like Wang Xifeng, and her behavior style is not too different from Wang Xifeng's, but she has more writing in her belly than Wang Xifeng, and the old lady also values her.
Compared with Yingchun's unreliability and Xichun's coldness, Tanchun cares most about Rongguo Mansion and knows how to survive in the backyard.
So, the girl in the house is better than the second bedroom, but it's a pity that Tanchun is completely behind Aunt Zhao now.
Thinking about it this way, Yuanchun is still the most useful. Even if he can't marry the prince, he can at least marry a powerful family.
The old lady looked at Yuan Chun carefully again. Although Yuan Chun lost to Baochai in appearance today, she did not lose in bearing. She is a very suitable candidate for the clan's wife. After the filial piety, she should find a home for her. A good marriage, as long as you find a good one, Wang Ziteng will not give up on Yuanchun.
After preparing lunch, Wang Xifeng was so exhausted that she lay down on the couch to rest. When others came to the door, she had a lot of things to do. , nothing happened.
Wang Xifeng, who has a lot of money, lives in luxury. The decorations in the house are all good things. The daily imports are no worse than that of the old lady. Jia Lian found many cooks for her from all over the world to cook vegetarian food and medicinal food for her. Take good care of her body.
Not to mention, I didn't eat the heavy oil in the house, even the porridge and side dishes every day, I can eat deliciously, my complexion is even more rosy, and even my hot temper is three points better.
Ping'er followed her, and she became much plumper, and her onion-like hands were a little bit fleshy now, but this was good, and it was softer and more comfortable to hold her waist.
"Ping'er, the weather is getting colder, and the family should prepare thicker clothes, especially silver charcoal. You have to prepare more. Your second master's Zhuangzi asked people to open a field to grow fruits and vegetables. In winter, they can eat fresh Yes, it’s extra sweet, otherwise the family would have been as usual, and in winter they would have eaten so many pickles like they did at the beginning of the year, and my body would have collapsed.”
Wang Xifeng has money in his pocket, and he is also a person who loves to enjoy himself. Otherwise, why would he earn so much money? The dignity and confidence of his daughter's family are all raised by such gold and jade. The Wang family failed to give Wang Xifeng this kind of treatment. Wang Xifeng really regards this place as her own.
Speaking of which, Jia Lian's life is not as comfortable as hers. She spends all day reading, farming, and accounting books, and occasionally has to listen to news from people outside.
Dai Quan's shop opened more and more, and the shop that Jia Lian opened together with the King of Beijing has gradually gained momentum. The calculation alone is enough to give Jia Lian a headache, but he insists on it, saying that he has read too many books. He will not be easily fooled by others, he must learn how to do calculations at a glance, to the point where he can tell the result with just a few glances.
In the future, Jia Lian would go to the household department. If he didn't have this effort, every time his subordinates held the account book, he would have to crackle and settle accounts?
From this point, Wang Xifeng could tell that strong men are always trying to force themselves to become strong, while those who are not strong will speak sharply, and if they are not smooth-talking, then they are a waste.
There are so many wastes in Rongguo Mansion, the more favored the more wastes, like the Second Master Zheng, like Jia Baoyu.
That day when Xue Baochai came to the door, Wang Xifeng also saw Baoyu's face like a pig brother. A child who was only a few years old knew how to eat the rouge on the girl's mouth, and said that it was more fragrant than the one in the box. Is it what he can imagine?
If Yuanchun hadn't had an accident, he, Jia Baoyu, still had a chance. If he really wanted to, let Yuanchun do his best to take back what she should have. The shoes don't match.
However, he doesn't have to worry, there might be Miss Lin coming later, and Miss Lin who carries tens of millions of wealth, I'm afraid she doesn't look ugly, oh yes, there might be Miss Shi. I haven't been here for nearly a year, and when he is born, that girl should come to accompany him, she is also a beauty.
If Sanchun can accompany him as always, plus Miss Lin and Miss Shi, Jia Baoyu is really lucky.
Ping'er used to get along well with the old lady, Mrs. Wang and the girls around Baoyu, and became sisters with Yuanyang and Xiren, but now naturally they go their own way, and they haven't had much contact for a long time.
Yuanyang and Xiren are doing well as usual.
Today's Ping'er is also well-informed, has more vision than others, and knows how to deal with secret affairs. Jia Lian believes in her, and if she needs a girl outside, Ping'er must follow.
If you want to say who is the most embarrassing girl in Lixiangyuan, there is no one else except Ping'er.
Wang Xifeng was still the jealous person, but in this life, she obviously didn't guard against others, and she didn't often get jealous. Even though Ping'er was somewhat different from Jia Lian, she never quarreled.
After all, it is impossible for Jia Lian to not have a concubine. If Ping'er can, it's fine to be her sister. With Ping'er's character, Wang Xifeng also believes it.
Coupled with Jia Lian's love for her, Wang Xifeng believes that no one can shake her position, so there is no need to worry too much.
Ping'er has been a loyal girl ever since she followed Wang Xifeng's side. She has no relatives, and it is not easy for others to win her over. Now that she is living a comfortable life, Ping'er is more and more unwilling to break this tranquility. After Second Master Lian really becomes an official, I'm afraid he won't be so peaceful.
"Grandma, the small hot spring village was confiscated by the second master early in the morning. He is still experimenting with his agronomy in the winter. Look at the broken branches and rotten leaves in the yard. We don't count on him anymore. Why don't we buy another one?" Forget about Hot Spring Zhuangzi.”
"It's hard to buy hot springs now. There are hot springs in a small area outside the capital. Our Jia family no longer has the power to buy them. Your second master got them by accident."
"Grandma, that's not necessarily the case. Isn't the second master close to Mr. Dai? Mr. Dai is in charge of all the needs of the palace. The Xue family, who is an imperial merchant, can you do a little bit of filial piety? We probably don't need it." If you do it yourself, you can help the second master win a Zhuangzi."
Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up, "Well, you Ping'er, you have learned the skills of empty-handed white wolves from your second master. Who are you fighting for? You want to make the Xue family bleed like this."
"Who else could it be? Isn't it just for grandma?" Ping'er pouted dissatisfiedly, "Then Xue Baochai looks pretty good, but she is very sinister behind the scenes. She only came here once, and she spread money everywhere. Isn't everyone outside now?" Are you using the girl from the Jia family to set off her extraordinary? Even grandma, you are also involved."
"For Yinzi's sake, the servants of the Jia family should give others some face, right? When the old lady comes to her senses, do you dare to say no to those servants again?" Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes, "However, the Xue family is indeed big room."
"Yes grandma, the Xue family has been an imperial merchant for three generations, and now they are getting closer to the Zhen family. I heard from the second master that the Zhen family has smuggled a lot of salt and iron tea. The Xue family can make a lot of money without interfering with it." ? Is there a Zhuangzi missing from us?"
"That's true, but we can't just be a Zhuangzi. Our self-interest is too obvious. If the Xue family can let the Xue family lower the price, there will be another channel for your second master to buy goods. Manager Dai will definitely turn a blind eye to it." " Wang Xifeng was thinking in his heart, "Isn't the palace repairing the palace recently? Is it enough for the Xue family to intervene in the timber business?"
"Enough is enough, but it would be even better if it can make Xue Baochai happy and swell a little bit. Grandma, you go and give her a gift and let her know that Xue Baochai has turned over. If she can't hold it, it will be the best."
Ping'er's current thoughts are deep enough, Wang Xifeng loves her naughty appearance, "You girl, you really learned from your second master."
"Grandma, it's as if you didn't learn to be bad. The second master has succeeded so many times. It's amazing, so what if we learn one or two? As long as you don't break the law and don't get caught, why not?"
"By the way, where is your second grandfather? Why is there no sign of him today?" Wang Xifeng stopped talking to her.
Ping'er shrugged, "I went to the hot spring village to look at the cauliflower again. He is obsessed with rural life. A while ago, he said that he would build a shed in the hot spring village to raise pigs, alas~~"
There is helplessness in this sigh!
Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes, "It's just him, living in the countryside, dreaming about being a cabinet in the middle of the night. If he sits firmly, it's still possible. If not, it's absolutely impossible."
"Isn't it great that the second master has such ambition? He is still so young and can work so hard. Grandma, you will be the wife of the cabinet in the future. What an authority."
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid that your second master will do anything for that position, and I don't know why he has such a deep obsession. These days, he is more and more persecuting himself. It's okay if he doesn't keep his filial piety, he can still find trouble To vent one or two, but now he can't do anything but wait."
"Grandma, it's only been three years of filial piety, and it's almost been a year now. Besides, the second master has done a lot of things this year, not to mention the business to earn money. He can memorize all the books given by Mrs. Zhang. Didn’t Old Master Zhang say a while ago that he could be a scholar? After the three-year filial piety is over, if our second master can directly pass the Jinshi examination, how many people will we have to fall into the eyes of?”
"It's difficult!" Wang Xifeng shook her head, "How can it be so easy to take the Jinshi exam? Just raising people can make people waste their lives. Your second master has only learned so much, and he can't even compose a poem. Wait three years. However, it is already a blessing to be admitted as a Juren."
"Grandma, why don't you think about it. If the second master passed the Juren examination, wouldn't he still be able to pass the Jinshi examination? If he fails once, will there be two times? There are too many people in Beijing who can help, but Jinling we have no People can use it, but there is a great possibility of being tampered with secretly."
Speaking of this, Ping'er looked quite serious, "Second Lord seems to have considered this matter recently, and is intentionally getting closer to Xue Pan, the Xue family is getting closer to the Zhen family, and the Jia family is also following the Zhen family recently. If we can have the Zhen family escorting us, nothing will happen."
A cold light flashed in Wang Xifeng's eyes, "Not necessarily, if uncle wants him to die, he can be killed on the way."
Therefore, they not only have to associate with the Zhen family, but also continue to associate with the Wang family, at least not to make their uncle really hate Jia Lian to death.For now, the relationship between the two has not reached that level, and it is not impossible to ease.
But, is their second master willing to make a fuss with the second uncle?
If Jia Lian had just come back from rebirth, he might not be willing, but Jia Lian, who has gone through so many things and successfully tricked Wang Ziteng a few times, is already an old fox. As long as he can become an official, why is it difficult to flatter Wang Ziteng?Could it be that Jia Lian couldn't have the last laugh?
But these things are not in a hurry, the most important thing now is to keep Xue Pan safe.
Xue Pan obviously loves to play and make trouble, and he doesn't want to read any books. Apart from knowing a few words, he doesn't have a trace of ink in his stomach, which is too far behind his sister.It is extremely simple for Jia Lian to want to be intimate with him.
Because he was still keeping his filial piety, although he could sneak out of the mansion, he couldn't go to some places, so he took Xue Pan to the antique street in the black market, where there were people buying antiques everywhere, and there were also things that had just been dug out of the ground. have vision.
After Jia Lian explained all the sudden wealth incidents that happened on this street, Xue Pan was eager to try.
Here, Jia Lian also opened a lot of shady shops, and it was very easy to empty Xue Pan's pockets.
On the first day, he took Xue Pan to find a good item, the value doubled, and he made a hundred taels. On the second day, he made thousands of taels again. Xue Pan looked at him with reverence gradually, but Afterwards, Jia Lian stopped picking things for him, and only told him not to buy too expensive ones, so as not to be unaffordable when he looked around.
Xue Pan couldn't bear to hear these words. He spent a long time looking at the shops that Jia Lian frequented, and bought a lot of things he liked. The value was high or low, some were real and some were fake.
Although he still lost a little in the end, Xue Pan was quite satisfied and straightened up in front of Jia Lian because he bought the real thing.
After shopping around here, Jia Lian took him to a teahouse again, this was Dai Quan's shop, all the masters in it came from the palace, and their skills in making tea and pastries were quite good.
The most remarkable thing is that the actors who sing ditties here, all of them are beautiful and charming, they can only be seen from a distance but not tasted up close.
It is really because of this rule that outsiders see this place as a clean place, and the actors here are more noble than other places.
I have to say, this idea is very good.
When it comes to the craftsmanship of an actor, where are the nuns in the palace who are good at it? Walking, sitting and lying are all very knowledgeable. Besides, those nuns are all skilled in crafts. The balm nourishes the skin, and there are a few who are especially good at dressing up and combing their hair. The girls who pass their hands are naturally on the stage.
To say that a beauty depends on her appearance and her attire. As long as she looks good, she can be made fair and beautiful. It takes a lot of time to nurse an actor in those theaters, but this restaurant only needs half a year to be able to... There is a group of beauties who sing well.
When had Xue Pan ever seen such a high-end actor, she looked like a lady, her onion-like hands were astonishingly white, and when she raised her eyes and smiled, she could charm people away.
It's such an exquisite place, Xue Pan was stunned to see it.
It's a pity that such a beauty can only drink with you, and cannot let you vent your animal desires, and Xue Pan dare not take her home, so anxious that he was sweating profusely and scratching his cheeks.
In the end, of course, it was Jia Lian who helped him solve this problem, and he took Xue Pan to the Jiaotong workshop in the capital. There were many ladies there, all of them delicate and weak. Unattainable.
There are often newcomers here, and every time they come, they will be in batches. Most of the female family members of the former historians have entered here.If you want strong, gentle, and unwilling ones, the old bustard can find them for you, the only problem is that the girls here are too expensive and you can't redeem them and take them away.
Of course Jinling also has a teaching and training workshop, but the girls there are eliminated from here, basically there are no upright officials, and they are not so stubborn. Here, it's like entering a dream. The girls here are even more unattainable than in the teahouse just now.
In particular, there are quite a few people with extraordinary bearing, and their looks are even not much worse than Xue Baochai.
Jia Lian didn't go into this place, and it's not convenient for him to go in, but when he looked at this teaching workshop, he naturally thought of his previous life.
Both Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai knew about Shi Xiangyun's exile here at the beginning, but they didn't think of any way for her afterwards. In the end, Shi Xiangyun jumped off the flower boat by himself and disappeared.
Thinking about it this way, Shi Xiangyun is extremely lucky to be taken outside to the flower boat. Basically, as long as someone comes to rescue him, he can be rescued. It is no different than other girls in this building. It is difficult to get out of this door in this life.
Jia Lian didn't want to guess whether there were any instructions from the people above, because Hualou was an indelible pain to Jia Lian now. After leaving, she no longer wants to be Jia Lian's daughter, but just follows Grandma Liu as a child bride-in-law for Ban'er.
This actually allowed his Qiao sister to escape, but after all, he would still be poor for the rest of his life.
Jia Lian couldn't let it go, and naturally his emotions were not quite right. He patted his chest to try to calm down, but it didn't help. The sense of urgency to get ahead made him more and more anxious.
Even if he targeted Wang Ziteng and got the edict to be the cabinet, as long as he didn't get the power, he couldn't rest assured. The royal people never trusted him unless he had enough bargaining chips in his hand, so that the royal people didn't dare He messes around easily, just like his grandfather Jia Daishan.
A military officer can control the power of the world, and so can civil servants. Jia Lian not only wants to be the cabinet, he also wants to be the chief assistant.
His Qiaojieer, his Wang Xifeng, and even Ping'er are not allowed to make any mistakes, let them spend the money as they please, and Jia Lian can earn as much as he can. A capable man is worried about not being able to support his wife Son?
He hurried back to the mansion alone, and didn't care what Xue Pan would do in the teaching and training workshop, but after this kind of thing was done, Xue Pan should have a close relationship with Jia Lian.
When he returned to the mansion, Wang Xifeng told him about the hot spring village. It was actually not easy to plot against the Xue family. Mr. Xue was a shrewd person, but it was very easy to plot against Xue Pan.
The supply of goods in the palace is actually managed by the eunuchs. The imperial merchants look respectable, but they are actually businessmen. If there is no backing behind them, the eunuchs in the palace will not give you dignity. If the money is not in place, there will always be people who make you cry when.
The title of the Xue Family Imperial Merchant was bestowed by the emperor, and the eunuchs dared not offend him, but they would not allow him to provide more, because he would not get any benefits, and had not had much contact with him in recent years. Now Jia Lian thought of a discount and let Xue If a family lowers the two-tier profit to supply Dai Quan's shop, all they need to pay is the imperial merchant qualification for the timber business.
For Dai Quan, this qualification is a piece of cake, but for the Xue family, it is very important. After all, as long as he enters, he can slowly make a lot of money. The palace has the most money in the world.
Of course Dai Quan agreed, his small shop could not do much with the goods from the palace, and it was much easier to ask others to supply them. After telling Jia Lian that he agreed, he still felt that Why are you so stupid, I didn't think of it before.
Now a bunch of people in the palace follow him to earn money, and those older nuns who are a little bit crafty are just pointing to this money for retirement. Besides, he has built such a big house outside the palace, specially for those who are not cared for. Old mammy, it's no wonder those old mammies don't want to go.
Of course, this idea was also given by Jia Lian. At first, he looked at it as a small thing and couldn't put it on the stage, but he didn't expect Dai Quan to earn a good reputation, and even cultivated a lot of hidden threads. The nuns who have lived to such an old age in the palace are not simple people, and they know a lot of things.
The matter was approved by Dai Quan, so Wang Xifeng posted a message to Aunt Xue, asking her to come over with Baochai, saying that there was something important to discuss, if she was not keeping her filial piety, Wang Xifeng might have gone by herself.
Aunt Xue looked at Wang Xifeng's handwritten letter and handed it to Baochai in doubt.
Baochai is wearing bright clothes now, and she no longer likes to wear old clothes to fight for fame as usual, "Mother, why not go there, if there is really something important to delay, it's not good, although it would be disrespectful for us to come in person, but we are just a friend Merchant, it doesn't matter if you lose face, detailed sister Feng won't want to use such things to humiliate our Xue family."
Aunt Xue nodded. Although Wang Xifeng had gone against the Wang family, Jia Lian was familiar with Mr. Dai, and everyone in the Royal Merchant was trying to please Mr. Dai. If it was related to this matter, he had to go, otherwise the elder must be in a hurry.
Therefore, Aunt Xue took Baochai into Rongguo Mansion the next day.
The Rongguo Mansion is still the same, but Xichun and Tanchun are already born in the same family, and there are several meanings in it, which everyone tacitly understands.
Being able to become a heir is Tanchun's greatest expectation in this life. She never expected Xue Baochai to come to her door a few times, and she got it easily. Naturally, she was more attentive to Xue Baochai.
Seeing it, Wang became more and more depressed. She always felt that Aunt Xue brought her daughter to show off.
In fact, Aunt Xue really wanted to show off to Mrs. Wang, who told her that her daughter was sensible and her husband could also be capable.
After meeting with Mrs. Jia, the mother and daughter went to the Pear Fragrance Court to meet Wang Xifeng. Wang Xifeng's Pear Fragrance Court was far away from Rongxi Hall, and she had just received the news that the mother and daughter had come.
Seeing the girl with such a sign, Wang Xifeng carefully took Baochai's hand, let her sit beside him, and called Ping'er to serve Aunt Xue.
The girls of the Royal Merchant House all have a pair of snobbish eyes. Wang Xifeng estimated the value of this house when he first entered the door. The two people were also very surprised. How could this Lixiangyuan be more luxurious than the old lady's place.
Just say that Xue Baochai's mattress is definitely the top quality in the palace, and no concubine is worthy of it, but this Pear Fragrance Court is everywhere, and all the couches and chairs are used for this.
Xue Baochai smiled, "I just saw you, my second sister-in-law a few days ago, and today I see you as the other side. The jade hairpin and Bu Yao on this head are really exquisite. It seems that the second elder brother loves you very much. "
"Auntie, look at Baochai's small mouth, it's really sweet. No wonder uncle likes it. If it were me, I would like it too. A girl who is only a little older is so cute. Oh, hey, I don't know how to be favored in the future." ’” Wang Xifeng touched Baochai’s face, and was amazed.
Aunt Xue loves to hear this, and the smile on her face is genuine, "Young girl Feng, stop praising her, lest she be smug for a long time. I received your letter yesterday and started looking for clothes. After a while, she will have to ask her master to buy her new clothes and jewelry, it really costs more to raise a girl than to raise a son."
"My good aunt, it's a real loss if a girl like Baochai doesn't take care of her carefully. Take a look, my uncle thinks highly of it. Even my Feng girl has to rush to curry favor with her. I hope our Baochai can do more. Remember my thoughts, and remember one or two more in the future."
Wang Xifeng took out a letter from the side, and it still had the big seal of the palace on it.
Before Xue Baochai looked at it, she knew what it was, and her smile became sweeter and sweeter.
Aunt Xue didn't have her kindness, so she took a closer look at it. The supply of wood in the palace was a huge sum. As expected of Dai Quan's celebrity, it was a piece of cake to get it done!
Thinking about the faces of those inspection eunuchs, Aunt Xue felt that they knew people from different worlds.
Wang Xifeng didn't talk to Aunt Xue any more, and just took Baochai to talk about family affairs, a series of shameless words to curry favor with others, but they were not offensive when they were spoken out, shaking Baochai like a living treasure, so that Baochai burst into tears of laughter.
Looking at it this way, I don't think she has much enmity with the Wang family.
Aunt Xue couldn't hold her breath, and couldn't help saying, "Girl Feng, your uncle said a while ago that you haven't been in touch with him very much recently, and you are really outgoing. It's not that your aunt said you, anyway, your uncle raised you. How can you This makes your uncle sad."
Wang Xifeng sighed slightly, "Young girl Feng can't do anything about it. The second master and uncle don't know what to do. I'm a daughter's family, and I don't know how to solve it. It's not good for anyone, so I simply put it aside and let them make trouble on their own." It's gone."
"Why can't Jia Lian think about it, and want to get away from your second master?"
"It's not about the title. The second master saw that his uncle was keeping the second wife and wanted to take his title, but he had to find trouble secretly. He wanted to add trouble to the second wife, so that the uncle didn't care about him and wanted to get rid of him." He, my heart is really mysterious, I can't lay hands on anyone."
After all, Wang Xifeng sighed deeply, "Now I just wait for the second master and uncle to get back together, anyway, the issue of the title has come to an end, especially since Baochai replaced Yuan Chun, the second wife's bargaining chip is gone, Feng girl finally See the possibility of their reconciliation."
Xue Baochai was slightly taken aback, "Because of me?"
"It's not your business. If Yuanchun still has her Qingyun Road, uncle will definitely fight with the second master to the death. Your sister Feng and I have no way out, but it's different now. Without the second wife as a hindrance, the second uncle Wouldn't it be better if we could join forces with Second Master?"
Wang Xifeng smiled brightly, and pointed to the letter with her eyes, "I just told the second master, and I did this for me in less than a day. The donut face can make you look good in the Prince's Mansion."
At this time, Ping'er came up with a box, inside which was a set of Dongzhu heads, a total of 81 Dongzhu, even if it was smaller, it was really rare, the key point is that this thing is not above the princess of the county, so it is definitely not qualified to carry it.
Xue Baochai's eyes widened slightly, looked at Wang Xifeng, and smiled subtly and elegantly, "This gift is too heavy for Baochai to bear, but Baochai has accepted Sister Feng's kindness."
"I, Wang Xifeng, don't take back the things that I send out. If Baochai doesn't like it, just throw it away." Wang Xifeng signaled Ping'er to put down the gift box, absolutely not giving the mother and daughter the possibility of rejecting it.
And the mother and daughter obviously didn't really want to give up. Dongzhu is rare, and Baochai has so many jewelry, and there is really no set that makes her so satisfied.
Even if she can't stay now, the things that can only be brought by the county princess level or above, she is happy to see it.
She accepted it, and Wang Xifeng was very happy. She sent a lot of good things, and they were all hard to buy outside. Even if you are an imperial merchant, some things are only available to the royal family, and others want it. Difficult.
But Jia Lian is close to Dai Quan, he can have many rare things.
With this courtesy, and what Wang Xifeng said just now, it is enough to change the Xue family's mother and daughter's view of her. If it can influence the second uncle's judgment, it would be great.
After Xue Baochai's mother and daughter got into the carriage and left Ningrong Street, they couldn't help looking at each other and smiling very brightly.
Xue Baochai didn't look at anything else, but just stared at the head of the set of Dongzhu. The perfectly round Dongzhu seemed to give her an illusion. Xue Baochai couldn't help but picked up a string of earrings and replaced the one she was wearing now. that pair.
Aunt Xue didn't stop her, but laughed even more exaggeratedly, "My son has a bright future, and he will definitely be able to wear this set of Dongzhu hair noodles in the future. Girl Feng said that you are her noble person, but the other way around, she is not you. My son, if Jia Lian hadn't always picked things against the Wang family, my son might not have the prospect he has today."
"Yeah, it's really thanks to Sister Feng. Sister Feng is a smart person. She wants us to make peace with them. Otherwise, our mother and daughter have just entered Beijing, so it's not appropriate to start here. Let's take it easy. I don't know Feng. My sister is telling the truth."
"Well, I'll let your father do it again and again, but speaking of it, if Lian Er can join hands with your uncle, it's indeed much better than the two of them facing each other. Look, your father hasn't been able to get it for most of his life. Jia Lian easily got all the things you want, and with this, who in the Xue family would dare to disobey your father."
"So it's better to stay in Beijing. Although you have to be careful, there are too many opportunities." Xue Baochai put down the pretense again, "When he ascends the throne, my daughter will get more than this pretense, mother, You should go ask your daughter about his preferences."
Aunt Xue nodded, "That's a good idea. If my son can't be a concubine, he must be a concubine. Your brother is not very capable, so he can only rely on your family to take care of him."
"Brother, she hasn't experienced anything. When my father takes him out for a walk, he will be sensible." Xue Baochai opened the curtain and looked outside. Jingzhong is not as exquisite and gorgeous as Jinling, but there are always vicissitudes here. The grandeur is unmatched by other places.
And at this moment, Xue Baochai suddenly met the eyes of a person. The young man was wearing a fine attire. Follow slowly.
A thought suddenly popped up in Xue Baochai's mind, could it be that person who came to see what she looked like? A young boy is always curious about the person he is about to marry.
Thinking of this, Xue Baochai picked up the window screen again, and secretly looked at the young man outside the window, his beautiful hibiscus face was undoubtedly revealed but he didn't know it.
The young man really smiled, his handsome face was full of satisfaction, but when he saw Xue Baochai's slightly frowning brows, he really wanted to go up and smooth her down so that she wouldn't be afraid.
Xue Baochai knew that some things should not be overdone, so she took another quick look, closed the window, and signaled the coachman to return home quickly, she absolutely refused to let people think that she was a little frivolous.
It's one thing to impress that person, it's another to make yourself worthless.
Aunt Xue didn't notice her change, so she naturally missed this scene. If she were to know that Xue Baochai had satisfied the Seventeenth Prince, she would probably reveal her secrets.
The young man followed Xue Baochai all the way to Xue's mansion, watching her enter the mansion. When Xue Baochai entered the mansion, he gave him a hard look, as if he was very dissatisfied with him as an apprentice, but he was very satisfied, so beautiful Young and bold girls are much better than those stiff and weak ones in the house.
Back at the mansion, Xue Baochai was holding the set of Dongzhu again, this time she had no scruples and asked Yinger to put on her makeup again, she wanted to see what she would look like after wearing this set of Dongzhu hair mask.
With today's gathering on the street, she became a little more sure about her future, and even felt a little trembling and excited.
If that person really sits on the throne, she will be able to sit on the imperial concubine, even a noble concubine!With today's fate, she, Xue Baochai, will be different from other girls.
And what she wanted was that difference.
Ying'er looked at the weird girl, and couldn't help but said, "What did the girl encounter today? When she left Jia's mansion, she didn't seem to be like this. She was always staring at this set of tricks in a daze."
Xue Baochai pursed her lips and smiled, "Of course you can't let go of your thoughts outside, Yinger, do you know what daydreams are?"
"Girl, are you saying, were you daydreaming just now? I looked at the girl as if she was not, but as if she was thinking about someone. Although we don't know what the seventeenth prince looks like, but the Huang family's People are not bad looking."
"Well, you little girl, how dare you tease me, your girl."
"Girl, Ying'er just said what she thinks in her heart. You can see that Lian's second grandma is so eager to give you something. She never treated Miss Yuanchun like that. I just asked the girl from Lixiangyuan about it. , the big house of their Rongguo Mansion has a serious rivalry with the second house."
"Oh? To what extent?"
"It's almost a life-and-death situation. Anyway, the second room is comfortable and the first room is not comfortable, and the second room is not happy when the first room is comfortable. But the old lady is still on the side of the second room. Just look at where the people in the first room live. gone."
Xue Baochai nodded, "Yes, if it weren't for this, how could it be your girl's turn to take the position? I should really thank my aunt."
"If Mrs. Wang knew what you said, Miss, she might be so angry." Ying'er covered her mouth and laughed, she really couldn't say it if she didn't want to, so why did Mrs. Wang waste her hole cards like this.
Xue Baochai didn't talk to her, she seldom said bad things about others, she always had to worry about the ears of the wall, this was what her father told her, and she also kept it in her heart, after a while, she would go out for a walk again, maybe she could see that person again. bit.
I believe that as long as the timing is right, she can manage a relationship, which is much better than marrying directly.
But to be honest, her path is simpler than Yuanchun's path. The Zhen family is an old relative of the Xue family, and they are close to each other. This is no higher than the prince of the East Palace. Indispensable, even if Yuan Chun became a princess, she might be put aside.
But she, Xue Baochai, cannot be abandoned, and the Zhen family will not let the Xue family lose this person. She is not a concubine, so it is not difficult to keep her from being bullied.
It's because of her good luck that she took this matter up. If it's Yingchun and Tanchun, she can live a good life.
Yuan Chun smiled elegantly, "It's really Yuan Chun's fault to let the ancestors worry about Yuan Chun's affairs."
Yuan Chun, who has experienced the warmth and coldness of human relations, has a better bearing than before. Today, seeing Xue Baochai, she is not even a little bit dissatisfied. The old lady is very relieved to see it.
"Where is it, the old ancestors don't bother you much, you girls have not been trampled into the mud, Yingchun, you are now the eldest daughter, and when you are filial piety, you have to start seeing each other, but you can't do it again." It’s so plain and unadorned.”
Yingchun blushed, hesitated and didn't know how to answer, and finally only said a good word.
Compared with her, Tanchun's reaction is much more natural. To be honest, Tanchun is really like Wang Xifeng, and her behavior style is not too different from Wang Xifeng's, but she has more writing in her belly than Wang Xifeng, and the old lady also values her.
Compared with Yingchun's unreliability and Xichun's coldness, Tanchun cares most about Rongguo Mansion and knows how to survive in the backyard.
So, the girl in the house is better than the second bedroom, but it's a pity that Tanchun is completely behind Aunt Zhao now.
Thinking about it this way, Yuanchun is still the most useful. Even if he can't marry the prince, he can at least marry a powerful family.
The old lady looked at Yuan Chun carefully again. Although Yuan Chun lost to Baochai in appearance today, she did not lose in bearing. She is a very suitable candidate for the clan's wife. After the filial piety, she should find a home for her. A good marriage, as long as you find a good one, Wang Ziteng will not give up on Yuanchun.
After preparing lunch, Wang Xifeng was so exhausted that she lay down on the couch to rest. When others came to the door, she had a lot of things to do. , nothing happened.
Wang Xifeng, who has a lot of money, lives in luxury. The decorations in the house are all good things. The daily imports are no worse than that of the old lady. Jia Lian found many cooks for her from all over the world to cook vegetarian food and medicinal food for her. Take good care of her body.
Not to mention, I didn't eat the heavy oil in the house, even the porridge and side dishes every day, I can eat deliciously, my complexion is even more rosy, and even my hot temper is three points better.
Ping'er followed her, and she became much plumper, and her onion-like hands were a little bit fleshy now, but this was good, and it was softer and more comfortable to hold her waist.
"Ping'er, the weather is getting colder, and the family should prepare thicker clothes, especially silver charcoal. You have to prepare more. Your second master's Zhuangzi asked people to open a field to grow fruits and vegetables. In winter, they can eat fresh Yes, it’s extra sweet, otherwise the family would have been as usual, and in winter they would have eaten so many pickles like they did at the beginning of the year, and my body would have collapsed.”
Wang Xifeng has money in his pocket, and he is also a person who loves to enjoy himself. Otherwise, why would he earn so much money? The dignity and confidence of his daughter's family are all raised by such gold and jade. The Wang family failed to give Wang Xifeng this kind of treatment. Wang Xifeng really regards this place as her own.
Speaking of which, Jia Lian's life is not as comfortable as hers. She spends all day reading, farming, and accounting books, and occasionally has to listen to news from people outside.
Dai Quan's shop opened more and more, and the shop that Jia Lian opened together with the King of Beijing has gradually gained momentum. The calculation alone is enough to give Jia Lian a headache, but he insists on it, saying that he has read too many books. He will not be easily fooled by others, he must learn how to do calculations at a glance, to the point where he can tell the result with just a few glances.
In the future, Jia Lian would go to the household department. If he didn't have this effort, every time his subordinates held the account book, he would have to crackle and settle accounts?
From this point, Wang Xifeng could tell that strong men are always trying to force themselves to become strong, while those who are not strong will speak sharply, and if they are not smooth-talking, then they are a waste.
There are so many wastes in Rongguo Mansion, the more favored the more wastes, like the Second Master Zheng, like Jia Baoyu.
That day when Xue Baochai came to the door, Wang Xifeng also saw Baoyu's face like a pig brother. A child who was only a few years old knew how to eat the rouge on the girl's mouth, and said that it was more fragrant than the one in the box. Is it what he can imagine?
If Yuanchun hadn't had an accident, he, Jia Baoyu, still had a chance. If he really wanted to, let Yuanchun do his best to take back what she should have. The shoes don't match.
However, he doesn't have to worry, there might be Miss Lin coming later, and Miss Lin who carries tens of millions of wealth, I'm afraid she doesn't look ugly, oh yes, there might be Miss Shi. I haven't been here for nearly a year, and when he is born, that girl should come to accompany him, she is also a beauty.
If Sanchun can accompany him as always, plus Miss Lin and Miss Shi, Jia Baoyu is really lucky.
Ping'er used to get along well with the old lady, Mrs. Wang and the girls around Baoyu, and became sisters with Yuanyang and Xiren, but now naturally they go their own way, and they haven't had much contact for a long time.
Yuanyang and Xiren are doing well as usual.
Today's Ping'er is also well-informed, has more vision than others, and knows how to deal with secret affairs. Jia Lian believes in her, and if she needs a girl outside, Ping'er must follow.
If you want to say who is the most embarrassing girl in Lixiangyuan, there is no one else except Ping'er.
Wang Xifeng was still the jealous person, but in this life, she obviously didn't guard against others, and she didn't often get jealous. Even though Ping'er was somewhat different from Jia Lian, she never quarreled.
After all, it is impossible for Jia Lian to not have a concubine. If Ping'er can, it's fine to be her sister. With Ping'er's character, Wang Xifeng also believes it.
Coupled with Jia Lian's love for her, Wang Xifeng believes that no one can shake her position, so there is no need to worry too much.
Ping'er has been a loyal girl ever since she followed Wang Xifeng's side. She has no relatives, and it is not easy for others to win her over. Now that she is living a comfortable life, Ping'er is more and more unwilling to break this tranquility. After Second Master Lian really becomes an official, I'm afraid he won't be so peaceful.
"Grandma, the small hot spring village was confiscated by the second master early in the morning. He is still experimenting with his agronomy in the winter. Look at the broken branches and rotten leaves in the yard. We don't count on him anymore. Why don't we buy another one?" Forget about Hot Spring Zhuangzi.”
"It's hard to buy hot springs now. There are hot springs in a small area outside the capital. Our Jia family no longer has the power to buy them. Your second master got them by accident."
"Grandma, that's not necessarily the case. Isn't the second master close to Mr. Dai? Mr. Dai is in charge of all the needs of the palace. The Xue family, who is an imperial merchant, can you do a little bit of filial piety? We probably don't need it." If you do it yourself, you can help the second master win a Zhuangzi."
Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up, "Well, you Ping'er, you have learned the skills of empty-handed white wolves from your second master. Who are you fighting for? You want to make the Xue family bleed like this."
"Who else could it be? Isn't it just for grandma?" Ping'er pouted dissatisfiedly, "Then Xue Baochai looks pretty good, but she is very sinister behind the scenes. She only came here once, and she spread money everywhere. Isn't everyone outside now?" Are you using the girl from the Jia family to set off her extraordinary? Even grandma, you are also involved."
"For Yinzi's sake, the servants of the Jia family should give others some face, right? When the old lady comes to her senses, do you dare to say no to those servants again?" Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes, "However, the Xue family is indeed big room."
"Yes grandma, the Xue family has been an imperial merchant for three generations, and now they are getting closer to the Zhen family. I heard from the second master that the Zhen family has smuggled a lot of salt and iron tea. The Xue family can make a lot of money without interfering with it." ? Is there a Zhuangzi missing from us?"
"That's true, but we can't just be a Zhuangzi. Our self-interest is too obvious. If the Xue family can let the Xue family lower the price, there will be another channel for your second master to buy goods. Manager Dai will definitely turn a blind eye to it." " Wang Xifeng was thinking in his heart, "Isn't the palace repairing the palace recently? Is it enough for the Xue family to intervene in the timber business?"
"Enough is enough, but it would be even better if it can make Xue Baochai happy and swell a little bit. Grandma, you go and give her a gift and let her know that Xue Baochai has turned over. If she can't hold it, it will be the best."
Ping'er's current thoughts are deep enough, Wang Xifeng loves her naughty appearance, "You girl, you really learned from your second master."
"Grandma, it's as if you didn't learn to be bad. The second master has succeeded so many times. It's amazing, so what if we learn one or two? As long as you don't break the law and don't get caught, why not?"
"By the way, where is your second grandfather? Why is there no sign of him today?" Wang Xifeng stopped talking to her.
Ping'er shrugged, "I went to the hot spring village to look at the cauliflower again. He is obsessed with rural life. A while ago, he said that he would build a shed in the hot spring village to raise pigs, alas~~"
There is helplessness in this sigh!
Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes, "It's just him, living in the countryside, dreaming about being a cabinet in the middle of the night. If he sits firmly, it's still possible. If not, it's absolutely impossible."
"Isn't it great that the second master has such ambition? He is still so young and can work so hard. Grandma, you will be the wife of the cabinet in the future. What an authority."
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid that your second master will do anything for that position, and I don't know why he has such a deep obsession. These days, he is more and more persecuting himself. It's okay if he doesn't keep his filial piety, he can still find trouble To vent one or two, but now he can't do anything but wait."
"Grandma, it's only been three years of filial piety, and it's almost been a year now. Besides, the second master has done a lot of things this year, not to mention the business to earn money. He can memorize all the books given by Mrs. Zhang. Didn’t Old Master Zhang say a while ago that he could be a scholar? After the three-year filial piety is over, if our second master can directly pass the Jinshi examination, how many people will we have to fall into the eyes of?”
"It's difficult!" Wang Xifeng shook her head, "How can it be so easy to take the Jinshi exam? Just raising people can make people waste their lives. Your second master has only learned so much, and he can't even compose a poem. Wait three years. However, it is already a blessing to be admitted as a Juren."
"Grandma, why don't you think about it. If the second master passed the Juren examination, wouldn't he still be able to pass the Jinshi examination? If he fails once, will there be two times? There are too many people in Beijing who can help, but Jinling we have no People can use it, but there is a great possibility of being tampered with secretly."
Speaking of this, Ping'er looked quite serious, "Second Lord seems to have considered this matter recently, and is intentionally getting closer to Xue Pan, the Xue family is getting closer to the Zhen family, and the Jia family is also following the Zhen family recently. If we can have the Zhen family escorting us, nothing will happen."
A cold light flashed in Wang Xifeng's eyes, "Not necessarily, if uncle wants him to die, he can be killed on the way."
Therefore, they not only have to associate with the Zhen family, but also continue to associate with the Wang family, at least not to make their uncle really hate Jia Lian to death.For now, the relationship between the two has not reached that level, and it is not impossible to ease.
But, is their second master willing to make a fuss with the second uncle?
If Jia Lian had just come back from rebirth, he might not be willing, but Jia Lian, who has gone through so many things and successfully tricked Wang Ziteng a few times, is already an old fox. As long as he can become an official, why is it difficult to flatter Wang Ziteng?Could it be that Jia Lian couldn't have the last laugh?
But these things are not in a hurry, the most important thing now is to keep Xue Pan safe.
Xue Pan obviously loves to play and make trouble, and he doesn't want to read any books. Apart from knowing a few words, he doesn't have a trace of ink in his stomach, which is too far behind his sister.It is extremely simple for Jia Lian to want to be intimate with him.
Because he was still keeping his filial piety, although he could sneak out of the mansion, he couldn't go to some places, so he took Xue Pan to the antique street in the black market, where there were people buying antiques everywhere, and there were also things that had just been dug out of the ground. have vision.
After Jia Lian explained all the sudden wealth incidents that happened on this street, Xue Pan was eager to try.
Here, Jia Lian also opened a lot of shady shops, and it was very easy to empty Xue Pan's pockets.
On the first day, he took Xue Pan to find a good item, the value doubled, and he made a hundred taels. On the second day, he made thousands of taels again. Xue Pan looked at him with reverence gradually, but Afterwards, Jia Lian stopped picking things for him, and only told him not to buy too expensive ones, so as not to be unaffordable when he looked around.
Xue Pan couldn't bear to hear these words. He spent a long time looking at the shops that Jia Lian frequented, and bought a lot of things he liked. The value was high or low, some were real and some were fake.
Although he still lost a little in the end, Xue Pan was quite satisfied and straightened up in front of Jia Lian because he bought the real thing.
After shopping around here, Jia Lian took him to a teahouse again, this was Dai Quan's shop, all the masters in it came from the palace, and their skills in making tea and pastries were quite good.
The most remarkable thing is that the actors who sing ditties here, all of them are beautiful and charming, they can only be seen from a distance but not tasted up close.
It is really because of this rule that outsiders see this place as a clean place, and the actors here are more noble than other places.
I have to say, this idea is very good.
When it comes to the craftsmanship of an actor, where are the nuns in the palace who are good at it? Walking, sitting and lying are all very knowledgeable. Besides, those nuns are all skilled in crafts. The balm nourishes the skin, and there are a few who are especially good at dressing up and combing their hair. The girls who pass their hands are naturally on the stage.
To say that a beauty depends on her appearance and her attire. As long as she looks good, she can be made fair and beautiful. It takes a lot of time to nurse an actor in those theaters, but this restaurant only needs half a year to be able to... There is a group of beauties who sing well.
When had Xue Pan ever seen such a high-end actor, she looked like a lady, her onion-like hands were astonishingly white, and when she raised her eyes and smiled, she could charm people away.
It's such an exquisite place, Xue Pan was stunned to see it.
It's a pity that such a beauty can only drink with you, and cannot let you vent your animal desires, and Xue Pan dare not take her home, so anxious that he was sweating profusely and scratching his cheeks.
In the end, of course, it was Jia Lian who helped him solve this problem, and he took Xue Pan to the Jiaotong workshop in the capital. There were many ladies there, all of them delicate and weak. Unattainable.
There are often newcomers here, and every time they come, they will be in batches. Most of the female family members of the former historians have entered here.If you want strong, gentle, and unwilling ones, the old bustard can find them for you, the only problem is that the girls here are too expensive and you can't redeem them and take them away.
Of course Jinling also has a teaching and training workshop, but the girls there are eliminated from here, basically there are no upright officials, and they are not so stubborn. Here, it's like entering a dream. The girls here are even more unattainable than in the teahouse just now.
In particular, there are quite a few people with extraordinary bearing, and their looks are even not much worse than Xue Baochai.
Jia Lian didn't go into this place, and it's not convenient for him to go in, but when he looked at this teaching workshop, he naturally thought of his previous life.
Both Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai knew about Shi Xiangyun's exile here at the beginning, but they didn't think of any way for her afterwards. In the end, Shi Xiangyun jumped off the flower boat by himself and disappeared.
Thinking about it this way, Shi Xiangyun is extremely lucky to be taken outside to the flower boat. Basically, as long as someone comes to rescue him, he can be rescued. It is no different than other girls in this building. It is difficult to get out of this door in this life.
Jia Lian didn't want to guess whether there were any instructions from the people above, because Hualou was an indelible pain to Jia Lian now. After leaving, she no longer wants to be Jia Lian's daughter, but just follows Grandma Liu as a child bride-in-law for Ban'er.
This actually allowed his Qiao sister to escape, but after all, he would still be poor for the rest of his life.
Jia Lian couldn't let it go, and naturally his emotions were not quite right. He patted his chest to try to calm down, but it didn't help. The sense of urgency to get ahead made him more and more anxious.
Even if he targeted Wang Ziteng and got the edict to be the cabinet, as long as he didn't get the power, he couldn't rest assured. The royal people never trusted him unless he had enough bargaining chips in his hand, so that the royal people didn't dare He messes around easily, just like his grandfather Jia Daishan.
A military officer can control the power of the world, and so can civil servants. Jia Lian not only wants to be the cabinet, he also wants to be the chief assistant.
His Qiaojieer, his Wang Xifeng, and even Ping'er are not allowed to make any mistakes, let them spend the money as they please, and Jia Lian can earn as much as he can. A capable man is worried about not being able to support his wife Son?
He hurried back to the mansion alone, and didn't care what Xue Pan would do in the teaching and training workshop, but after this kind of thing was done, Xue Pan should have a close relationship with Jia Lian.
When he returned to the mansion, Wang Xifeng told him about the hot spring village. It was actually not easy to plot against the Xue family. Mr. Xue was a shrewd person, but it was very easy to plot against Xue Pan.
The supply of goods in the palace is actually managed by the eunuchs. The imperial merchants look respectable, but they are actually businessmen. If there is no backing behind them, the eunuchs in the palace will not give you dignity. If the money is not in place, there will always be people who make you cry when.
The title of the Xue Family Imperial Merchant was bestowed by the emperor, and the eunuchs dared not offend him, but they would not allow him to provide more, because he would not get any benefits, and had not had much contact with him in recent years. Now Jia Lian thought of a discount and let Xue If a family lowers the two-tier profit to supply Dai Quan's shop, all they need to pay is the imperial merchant qualification for the timber business.
For Dai Quan, this qualification is a piece of cake, but for the Xue family, it is very important. After all, as long as he enters, he can slowly make a lot of money. The palace has the most money in the world.
Of course Dai Quan agreed, his small shop could not do much with the goods from the palace, and it was much easier to ask others to supply them. After telling Jia Lian that he agreed, he still felt that Why are you so stupid, I didn't think of it before.
Now a bunch of people in the palace follow him to earn money, and those older nuns who are a little bit crafty are just pointing to this money for retirement. Besides, he has built such a big house outside the palace, specially for those who are not cared for. Old mammy, it's no wonder those old mammies don't want to go.
Of course, this idea was also given by Jia Lian. At first, he looked at it as a small thing and couldn't put it on the stage, but he didn't expect Dai Quan to earn a good reputation, and even cultivated a lot of hidden threads. The nuns who have lived to such an old age in the palace are not simple people, and they know a lot of things.
The matter was approved by Dai Quan, so Wang Xifeng posted a message to Aunt Xue, asking her to come over with Baochai, saying that there was something important to discuss, if she was not keeping her filial piety, Wang Xifeng might have gone by herself.
Aunt Xue looked at Wang Xifeng's handwritten letter and handed it to Baochai in doubt.
Baochai is wearing bright clothes now, and she no longer likes to wear old clothes to fight for fame as usual, "Mother, why not go there, if there is really something important to delay, it's not good, although it would be disrespectful for us to come in person, but we are just a friend Merchant, it doesn't matter if you lose face, detailed sister Feng won't want to use such things to humiliate our Xue family."
Aunt Xue nodded. Although Wang Xifeng had gone against the Wang family, Jia Lian was familiar with Mr. Dai, and everyone in the Royal Merchant was trying to please Mr. Dai. If it was related to this matter, he had to go, otherwise the elder must be in a hurry.
Therefore, Aunt Xue took Baochai into Rongguo Mansion the next day.
The Rongguo Mansion is still the same, but Xichun and Tanchun are already born in the same family, and there are several meanings in it, which everyone tacitly understands.
Being able to become a heir is Tanchun's greatest expectation in this life. She never expected Xue Baochai to come to her door a few times, and she got it easily. Naturally, she was more attentive to Xue Baochai.
Seeing it, Wang became more and more depressed. She always felt that Aunt Xue brought her daughter to show off.
In fact, Aunt Xue really wanted to show off to Mrs. Wang, who told her that her daughter was sensible and her husband could also be capable.
After meeting with Mrs. Jia, the mother and daughter went to the Pear Fragrance Court to meet Wang Xifeng. Wang Xifeng's Pear Fragrance Court was far away from Rongxi Hall, and she had just received the news that the mother and daughter had come.
Seeing the girl with such a sign, Wang Xifeng carefully took Baochai's hand, let her sit beside him, and called Ping'er to serve Aunt Xue.
The girls of the Royal Merchant House all have a pair of snobbish eyes. Wang Xifeng estimated the value of this house when he first entered the door. The two people were also very surprised. How could this Lixiangyuan be more luxurious than the old lady's place.
Just say that Xue Baochai's mattress is definitely the top quality in the palace, and no concubine is worthy of it, but this Pear Fragrance Court is everywhere, and all the couches and chairs are used for this.
Xue Baochai smiled, "I just saw you, my second sister-in-law a few days ago, and today I see you as the other side. The jade hairpin and Bu Yao on this head are really exquisite. It seems that the second elder brother loves you very much. "
"Auntie, look at Baochai's small mouth, it's really sweet. No wonder uncle likes it. If it were me, I would like it too. A girl who is only a little older is so cute. Oh, hey, I don't know how to be favored in the future." ’” Wang Xifeng touched Baochai’s face, and was amazed.
Aunt Xue loves to hear this, and the smile on her face is genuine, "Young girl Feng, stop praising her, lest she be smug for a long time. I received your letter yesterday and started looking for clothes. After a while, she will have to ask her master to buy her new clothes and jewelry, it really costs more to raise a girl than to raise a son."
"My good aunt, it's a real loss if a girl like Baochai doesn't take care of her carefully. Take a look, my uncle thinks highly of it. Even my Feng girl has to rush to curry favor with her. I hope our Baochai can do more. Remember my thoughts, and remember one or two more in the future."
Wang Xifeng took out a letter from the side, and it still had the big seal of the palace on it.
Before Xue Baochai looked at it, she knew what it was, and her smile became sweeter and sweeter.
Aunt Xue didn't have her kindness, so she took a closer look at it. The supply of wood in the palace was a huge sum. As expected of Dai Quan's celebrity, it was a piece of cake to get it done!
Thinking about the faces of those inspection eunuchs, Aunt Xue felt that they knew people from different worlds.
Wang Xifeng didn't talk to Aunt Xue any more, and just took Baochai to talk about family affairs, a series of shameless words to curry favor with others, but they were not offensive when they were spoken out, shaking Baochai like a living treasure, so that Baochai burst into tears of laughter.
Looking at it this way, I don't think she has much enmity with the Wang family.
Aunt Xue couldn't hold her breath, and couldn't help saying, "Girl Feng, your uncle said a while ago that you haven't been in touch with him very much recently, and you are really outgoing. It's not that your aunt said you, anyway, your uncle raised you. How can you This makes your uncle sad."
Wang Xifeng sighed slightly, "Young girl Feng can't do anything about it. The second master and uncle don't know what to do. I'm a daughter's family, and I don't know how to solve it. It's not good for anyone, so I simply put it aside and let them make trouble on their own." It's gone."
"Why can't Jia Lian think about it, and want to get away from your second master?"
"It's not about the title. The second master saw that his uncle was keeping the second wife and wanted to take his title, but he had to find trouble secretly. He wanted to add trouble to the second wife, so that the uncle didn't care about him and wanted to get rid of him." He, my heart is really mysterious, I can't lay hands on anyone."
After all, Wang Xifeng sighed deeply, "Now I just wait for the second master and uncle to get back together, anyway, the issue of the title has come to an end, especially since Baochai replaced Yuan Chun, the second wife's bargaining chip is gone, Feng girl finally See the possibility of their reconciliation."
Xue Baochai was slightly taken aback, "Because of me?"
"It's not your business. If Yuanchun still has her Qingyun Road, uncle will definitely fight with the second master to the death. Your sister Feng and I have no way out, but it's different now. Without the second wife as a hindrance, the second uncle Wouldn't it be better if we could join forces with Second Master?"
Wang Xifeng smiled brightly, and pointed to the letter with her eyes, "I just told the second master, and I did this for me in less than a day. The donut face can make you look good in the Prince's Mansion."
At this time, Ping'er came up with a box, inside which was a set of Dongzhu heads, a total of 81 Dongzhu, even if it was smaller, it was really rare, the key point is that this thing is not above the princess of the county, so it is definitely not qualified to carry it.
Xue Baochai's eyes widened slightly, looked at Wang Xifeng, and smiled subtly and elegantly, "This gift is too heavy for Baochai to bear, but Baochai has accepted Sister Feng's kindness."
"I, Wang Xifeng, don't take back the things that I send out. If Baochai doesn't like it, just throw it away." Wang Xifeng signaled Ping'er to put down the gift box, absolutely not giving the mother and daughter the possibility of rejecting it.
And the mother and daughter obviously didn't really want to give up. Dongzhu is rare, and Baochai has so many jewelry, and there is really no set that makes her so satisfied.
Even if she can't stay now, the things that can only be brought by the county princess level or above, she is happy to see it.
She accepted it, and Wang Xifeng was very happy. She sent a lot of good things, and they were all hard to buy outside. Even if you are an imperial merchant, some things are only available to the royal family, and others want it. Difficult.
But Jia Lian is close to Dai Quan, he can have many rare things.
With this courtesy, and what Wang Xifeng said just now, it is enough to change the Xue family's mother and daughter's view of her. If it can influence the second uncle's judgment, it would be great.
After Xue Baochai's mother and daughter got into the carriage and left Ningrong Street, they couldn't help looking at each other and smiling very brightly.
Xue Baochai didn't look at anything else, but just stared at the head of the set of Dongzhu. The perfectly round Dongzhu seemed to give her an illusion. Xue Baochai couldn't help but picked up a string of earrings and replaced the one she was wearing now. that pair.
Aunt Xue didn't stop her, but laughed even more exaggeratedly, "My son has a bright future, and he will definitely be able to wear this set of Dongzhu hair noodles in the future. Girl Feng said that you are her noble person, but the other way around, she is not you. My son, if Jia Lian hadn't always picked things against the Wang family, my son might not have the prospect he has today."
"Yeah, it's really thanks to Sister Feng. Sister Feng is a smart person. She wants us to make peace with them. Otherwise, our mother and daughter have just entered Beijing, so it's not appropriate to start here. Let's take it easy. I don't know Feng. My sister is telling the truth."
"Well, I'll let your father do it again and again, but speaking of it, if Lian Er can join hands with your uncle, it's indeed much better than the two of them facing each other. Look, your father hasn't been able to get it for most of his life. Jia Lian easily got all the things you want, and with this, who in the Xue family would dare to disobey your father."
"So it's better to stay in Beijing. Although you have to be careful, there are too many opportunities." Xue Baochai put down the pretense again, "When he ascends the throne, my daughter will get more than this pretense, mother, You should go ask your daughter about his preferences."
Aunt Xue nodded, "That's a good idea. If my son can't be a concubine, he must be a concubine. Your brother is not very capable, so he can only rely on your family to take care of him."
"Brother, she hasn't experienced anything. When my father takes him out for a walk, he will be sensible." Xue Baochai opened the curtain and looked outside. Jingzhong is not as exquisite and gorgeous as Jinling, but there are always vicissitudes here. The grandeur is unmatched by other places.
And at this moment, Xue Baochai suddenly met the eyes of a person. The young man was wearing a fine attire. Follow slowly.
A thought suddenly popped up in Xue Baochai's mind, could it be that person who came to see what she looked like? A young boy is always curious about the person he is about to marry.
Thinking of this, Xue Baochai picked up the window screen again, and secretly looked at the young man outside the window, his beautiful hibiscus face was undoubtedly revealed but he didn't know it.
The young man really smiled, his handsome face was full of satisfaction, but when he saw Xue Baochai's slightly frowning brows, he really wanted to go up and smooth her down so that she wouldn't be afraid.
Xue Baochai knew that some things should not be overdone, so she took another quick look, closed the window, and signaled the coachman to return home quickly, she absolutely refused to let people think that she was a little frivolous.
It's one thing to impress that person, it's another to make yourself worthless.
Aunt Xue didn't notice her change, so she naturally missed this scene. If she were to know that Xue Baochai had satisfied the Seventeenth Prince, she would probably reveal her secrets.
The young man followed Xue Baochai all the way to Xue's mansion, watching her enter the mansion. When Xue Baochai entered the mansion, he gave him a hard look, as if he was very dissatisfied with him as an apprentice, but he was very satisfied, so beautiful Young and bold girls are much better than those stiff and weak ones in the house.
Back at the mansion, Xue Baochai was holding the set of Dongzhu again, this time she had no scruples and asked Yinger to put on her makeup again, she wanted to see what she would look like after wearing this set of Dongzhu hair mask.
With today's gathering on the street, she became a little more sure about her future, and even felt a little trembling and excited.
If that person really sits on the throne, she will be able to sit on the imperial concubine, even a noble concubine!With today's fate, she, Xue Baochai, will be different from other girls.
And what she wanted was that difference.
Ying'er looked at the weird girl, and couldn't help but said, "What did the girl encounter today? When she left Jia's mansion, she didn't seem to be like this. She was always staring at this set of tricks in a daze."
Xue Baochai pursed her lips and smiled, "Of course you can't let go of your thoughts outside, Yinger, do you know what daydreams are?"
"Girl, are you saying, were you daydreaming just now? I looked at the girl as if she was not, but as if she was thinking about someone. Although we don't know what the seventeenth prince looks like, but the Huang family's People are not bad looking."
"Well, you little girl, how dare you tease me, your girl."
"Girl, Ying'er just said what she thinks in her heart. You can see that Lian's second grandma is so eager to give you something. She never treated Miss Yuanchun like that. I just asked the girl from Lixiangyuan about it. , the big house of their Rongguo Mansion has a serious rivalry with the second house."
"Oh? To what extent?"
"It's almost a life-and-death situation. Anyway, the second room is comfortable and the first room is not comfortable, and the second room is not happy when the first room is comfortable. But the old lady is still on the side of the second room. Just look at where the people in the first room live. gone."
Xue Baochai nodded, "Yes, if it weren't for this, how could it be your girl's turn to take the position? I should really thank my aunt."
"If Mrs. Wang knew what you said, Miss, she might be so angry." Ying'er covered her mouth and laughed, she really couldn't say it if she didn't want to, so why did Mrs. Wang waste her hole cards like this.
Xue Baochai didn't talk to her, she seldom said bad things about others, she always had to worry about the ears of the wall, this was what her father told her, and she also kept it in her heart, after a while, she would go out for a walk again, maybe she could see that person again. bit.
I believe that as long as the timing is right, she can manage a relationship, which is much better than marrying directly.
But to be honest, her path is simpler than Yuanchun's path. The Zhen family is an old relative of the Xue family, and they are close to each other. This is no higher than the prince of the East Palace. Indispensable, even if Yuan Chun became a princess, she might be put aside.
But she, Xue Baochai, cannot be abandoned, and the Zhen family will not let the Xue family lose this person. She is not a concubine, so it is not difficult to keep her from being bullied.
It's because of her good luck that she took this matter up. If it's Yingchun and Tanchun, she can live a good life.
