"The Xue family?"

"Yes, it is said that because the master of the Wang family was promoted to be in charge of the nine provinces, he left Beijing to check and no longer stay at home. After the second wife found out, she begged the old lady to let the Xue family live in our house first."

"The old lady felt sorry for the second wife's long illness, and thought that if her sisters could accompany her, it would be a relief to the second wife, so she agreed."

"The maidservants have also inquired about it. The Xue family came to Beijing clearly because Miss Xue wanted to run for female office. In fact, most of the reason was because the uncle of the Xue family got involved in a life lawsuit in Jinling. I am afraid that he came to Beijing to avoid disaster. "

Yixia told Jia Jue all the things about Xue's family that he had found out.She is the son of the Jia family, so the news is naturally very well-informed.Since he was lucky enough to be able to serve in the third master Jue's house, he naturally wanted to do his best to satisfy the master.In the future, like sister Hongfu, she can marry a good man.

"It seems that the character of the uncle of the Xue family is worrisome. To be able to teach such a reckless child, the family style of the Xue family can be seen." Jia Jue frowned, and he hated Xue Pan extremely.He really didn't want him to live in Jia's house, lest he bring down the not-so-good children of Jia's family.

As for Xue Baochai, Jia absolutely didn't have any particular likes and dislikes about her.It's normal for a girl from a merchant background to be selfish and calculating.

It's just that if Xue Baochai still wants to use the girl from the Jia family to add to her reputation as in the original book, that is absolutely impossible.

Jia Jue thought of the unhealthy tendencies brought about by Xue Pan's admission to Jia's family school in the original book, and when he went to pay her respects at Jia's mother's house that day, he told her about his concerns.

"Grandmother, several of the children in Jia's family school are helpers trained by my grandson. The son of the Xue family doesn't sound like someone who can calm down and study."

What Jia Jue said was not a lie, they all said that it was difficult to support a single tree. Jia Jue had deliberately found a few motivated children in the clan to train them a long time ago.I don't ask how good they can be, but I just want to read more books to understand some things, and secondly, I can also set an example for the children in the clan.

In the past few years, I have really found a few good seedlings, and one of them, Jia Yun, was admitted as a scholar because of his occasional small troubles.

Mother Jia naturally knew about this, and she was very supportive of it.Because of her grandson's success, her status in the clan is even higher, even those "generation" generation clan elders who rely on the old to sell the old are honest in front of her.

As soon as she heard her grandson's words, Mother Jia regretted letting Xue's family live in because of Wang's request.She saw that Baoyu was quite pleasing to be with her old woman during this time, so she agreed to live with Xue's family for Baoyu's sake.

"I was careless. The older brother of the Xue family is like that. I'm afraid the younger sister is not a good person. It would be great if she spoiled the girls in the family."

"What does this have to do with grandma? You are just sympathetic to the second wife." Jia Jue knew that what Xue Pan committed was not a big deal in Jia's mother's eyes, but it was just the death of a commoner. event.

Jia Jue naturally couldn't agree with such a concept, but he also knew that he couldn't change the concept of ancient nobles like Jia Mu, so he didn't bother to talk about it.

But there are some things he still reminded one or two.

"In the case of Uncle Xue's family, the prefect of Jinling's verdict is 'Xue Pan has suffered from an unknown disease and died after being pursued by Feng Hun.' That means that Uncle Xue's household registration is already a dead person. Now, if someone really pursues it in the future, even if Xue Pan is not dead, he will not have the right to inherit the Xue family."

After all, how could a dead person inherit the family business.

"...How could the Xue family be so confused." Mother Jia was speechless for a moment after hearing what her grandson said.What kind of operation is this, and how did the daughter of the Wang family grow up.

It's good to push a servant to take the blame for such a thing, at least let your own children be innocent.

"Grandmother, look at it. It is absolutely impossible for Miss Xue to have such an elder brother enter the palace. Even if those eunuchs have the courage to send a criminal's sister into the palace." It was strictly inspected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Those eunuchs in charge of inspection are all recorded.

No matter how long it takes, as long as they are found out, the responsible eunuchs will not be able to escape.

"This is really..."

"Grandmother, don't worry. The reason why grandson told you is to make you take some precautions. Of course, it's not up to our Jia family to worry about the Xue family's affairs. We just need to know what's going on in our hearts."

Even if it is the turn of the Xue family, it is not the turn of the Jia family, and it is Wang Ziteng that Jia Yucun wants to please.In fact, this matter can be regarded as a trick of Wang Ziteng, he believes that Jia's mother knows what to do.

"You're right, no matter what the Xue family's affairs are, the Wang family will support them."

Sure enough, Jia's mother's reaction did not meet Jia Jue's expectations, so it was good to let Jia's family gradually alienate themselves from the four kings and eight princes.Even if it's just a little bit.

The weather was fine on the day when Xue's family came to Beijing, because Mrs. Wang was ill, and Mother Jia would never pick them up in person, so the job of picking them up fell on Wang Xifeng.

Now that Wang Xifeng is in charge of the family, she is in the limelight. With her eyesight, it is impossible to see that Jia's mother is not warm to Xue's family.Compared with the Xue family, whom I don't know at all, the old lady's meaning is naturally more important.

So after Xue's family entered Jia's house through the side door, it was different from Lin Daiyu's going directly to Rongqingtang.They first saw Wang Xifeng who was all smiles at the second gate.

"Auntie came from a long way, but I, as a junior, have neglected you. The second wife has been looking forward to you for a long time. This is sister Baochai, she looks really good." Didn't stop.Praising this and that made Xue's mother and daughter very embarrassed.

Wang Xifeng repeatedly asked the servant to take Xue Pan to Jia Lian's side, and asked Jia Lian to take Xue Pan to see Jia and pardon Jia Zheng.Then they brought the mother and daughter of the Xue family to the yard of Mrs. Wang, the second bedroom.

She herself didn't stay too long, she only said that there were many things in the mansion and Mrs. Wang invited Ann and left.

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue met again in their twilight years. Even though the two sisters in the boudoir did not have much affection because of the difference between the concubine and concubines, they still met each other with tears in their eyes.

Xue Baochai sat on the side politely and wiped away tears.

"Why is my sister sick? I was in a hurry when I received the news in Jinling. I can't help you with anything else, but I have found a lot of good medicinal materials. I will let the doctor in the mansion take a look. If it is useful, my sister But please don't be polite to me." Aunt Xue held Mrs. Wang's hand and spoke with sincerity.

She also didn't expect that the bright and flamboyant first sister in her memory could only lie on the bed weakly, feeling desolate and sentimental.

"It's just that I got a cold once a year. The imperial doctor also saw it, and said that it hurt the root. It's like this after eating a lot of precious medicinal materials. My sister doesn't have to bother. Cough cough." Mrs. Wang has also had her own illness. Doubtful, but she also consulted other doctors in private, and the results of the diagnosis were that the foundation was injured, and as she was getting older, she could only keep her.

"How much trouble does it take, maybe it will be good to try the medicinal materials in the south." Aunt Xue comforted.

"Yes, Auntie, for a family like us, as long as it can be cured, we can't get any kind of medicinal materials. Auntie can rest in peace and recuperate." Xue Baochai said to Mrs. Wang generously.

"Son, you are such a good boy, sister, Bao girl is so sensible at the age of ten, she is much more sensible than my wicked governor."

"Cough cough, son, if you live at home in the future, if you have something to do, you will go to your brother. He is enthusiastic and he is the closest to the sisters and sisters at home."

"Auntie is talking about the brother Baoyu who was born with jade." Regardless of whether Xue Baochai believes that Jia Baoyu was born with jade in his heart, Madam Wang has to pretend to believe it.From the correspondence between the aunt and her mother, Xue Baochai knew that her aunt believed that her son was born with jade.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Wang saw Xue Baochai's appearance, the smile on her face immediately became more sincere.

"That child is just a young boy. Although he is smart, he loves to play. He likes to play with his sisters at home. I can't control him with my physical condition, and I am afraid that he will get sick, so I can only call him too much." The old lady stays at home." According to Mrs. Wang, Jia Baoyu went to Rongqing Hall was what she meant.

"Yeah, what children are most afraid of is getting sick. Bao girl had heat poison in her womb in her early years. I don't know how much money and energy was spent on curing the disease. In the end, it was rescued by overseas immortals given by a lame Taoist priest and monk Laitou. She is a girl. In a family like ours, which one of the children is not raised with care. "

Mrs. Wang chatted with Aunt Xue, feeling much happier.Seeing that it was getting late, they asked people to bring Aunt Xue's mother and daughter to Rongqingtang to meet Jia's mother.

The girls in Jia's family invited female teachers to teach them to read. It was probably Mrs. Wang and Li Wan's "Women are virtuous without talent" that made Jia's mother linger.Jia's mother is much more focused on teaching the Jia girl than in the original book.

At Jia Jue's suggestion, Jia's mother also allowed Wang Xifeng to study law when she had time.Of course, it was a very tactful reminder, Wang Xifeng was not a fool, she knew that she had been implicated by Mrs. Wang.As a granddaughter-in-law, what else can she do.

Xue Baochai followed her mother to Jia's mother's yard, and was still very curious about the girls of Jia's family, especially the girls of Lin's family who lived in Jia's family.

When Xue Baochai was in Jinling, she also met many girls from the official family. She thought she was much better than them.Even if some secretly said that she was a merchant girl, she only took these words as words of jealousy.

She knew that the Lin family was from the Zanying family, and Mr. Lin was an official residence from the third rank to inspect the salt censor.Xue Baochai wanted to see what kind of demeanor the young lady of the family of the third rank family was.

When they came to the entrance of Rongqing Hall, the mother and daughter of Xue's family didn't wait too long, and soon a girl who was very well-behaved and polite came out from inside.

"But Aunt Xue's family is here, and the old lady said that it's her relatives who don't need to follow these red tapes. Please come inside, madam and girl."

Just when Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai didn't know what to call them, the girl who accompanied them said in their ears.

"This is sister Yuanyang, the big maid in the old lady's room."

Aunt Xue immediately realized that she knew the importance of these shameless maids in the inner courtyard best, and hurried forward to help Yuanyang.

"It turned out that we bothered the old lady and asked the girl to pick it up." He said and directly took off a gold bracelet on his wrist and put it on Yuanyang's wrist.

"It's not a good thing, girl, let's play with it."

Yuanyang was by Jiamu's side, and he didn't think a gold bracelet was worth much if he had never seen such a good thing.He just politely shied away a few times, and when he saw that the other party was holding her wrist to prevent her from taking off the bracelet, he thanked her.

Her behavior made Xue's mother and daughter more cautious.
