"Miss Lin, Miss [-], Miss [-], Miss [-], the old lady said that there will be no classes today. Aunt Xue's family will bring their children to Beijing. They are all relatives of their own family and have come from afar. Let all the girls go and meet."

Lin Daiyu and the others were in class when Glass, the eldest maid of Rongqing Hall, suddenly came in and said such and such.The teacher in class heard the words and said softly: "Since that's the case, today's class will end here. After returning home, one person will write three big characters. I will check it tomorrow."

The few people respectfully agreed, packed up the books and other things, went back to the house and changed into the big clothes for meeting the guests, and dressed properly everywhere, and then went to the Rongqing Hall hand in hand.

The Rongqing hall was extremely lively, the two wives of King Xing, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan were already there, and there was a benevolent lady sitting on the left hand side of the hall, it was Mrs. Xue Wang.The girl at the bottom of her head looks a little older than Yingchun, "the lips are red without spots, the eyebrows are green without painting, the face is like a silver basin, and the eyes are like apricots", she is really a rare beauty. Xue Baochai is dead.

As for Xue Pan, I didn't see him. It is said that after meeting Jia Shishi and others, Jia Lian took him to the outer study to meet Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, and was taken away with Jia Baoyu.Jia Zheng said that he was going to test them, and Jia Baoyu was so frightened that he trembled, but he couldn't find a reason to shirk, so he walked over shaking his legs.

"Come on, I met your aunt and sister of the Xue family." As soon as the four of them entered the room, Jia Shi said with a smile, and then said to Xue Wang, "These are the four incompetent girls of our family. , I made my concubine laugh, she is not as good as your Baochai girl, she looks quiet and steady, lucky my concubine."

Xue Wang's face was also full of smiles. Seeing Lin Daiyu saluting together in three springs, she quickly pulled her up, looked over one by one, and praised: "Everyone in the capital said that the old lady of Rongguo Mansion is the best at taking care of girls." Yes, it's really eye-catching. Compared with these girls in your family, Bao girl from my family is really a burnt paper, so I can't look at it."

After all, I took a few pairs of bracelets from Tong Xi's hands, all of which are exactly the same in shape and material, and they are all Princess Jasper bracelets, so there is no bias.The four of them glanced at Jia Shishi first, saw her nodding with a smile, and then thanked her for accepting.

Then the four of them met with Xue Baochai again and reported their ages. It turned out that Xue Baochai was going to welcome the Spring Festival for a few months, so they all called them sisters, and they were very friendly.

Seeing that the sisters were chatting happily, Jia Shishi smiled and said to Xue Wangshi and the others: "I just love to see these young girls, they are carefree and happy every day."

Mrs. Xue Wang also nodded in response: "My family only has this one daughter, plus a Hunshimowang. It is really lonely. When Bao girl is at home, she either chats with me or does some needlework in the house by herself. When you are so open-faced today. The girls in your house are also good-natured, and everyone is kind, so it makes me feel very comfortable to look at."

The two of them back and forth flattered each other for a while, Xue Wangshi opened his mouth dexterously, and was more tactful than Wang Xifeng, and Jia Shishi, who spoke bluntly, smiled openly and said to her: "Usually, we are far away, and we are also Forget it, now that my concubine has come to Beijing, if she doesn't dislike the shabbyness of our mansion, she might as well stay here. You and the second child's family have not seen each other for many years, and now it's so easy for the sisters to meet each other. It is."

Xue Wang's family came to Beijing with his family just to seek asylum.I don't want my brother Wang Ziteng, who was newly promoted to be the governor of the nine provinces, to go out of the capital to check the border, and the wife of the Wang family also followed. Now there is no master in the natal family, only some servants and servants.

Wang Xue, a widowed aunt, has the nerve to live in the Wang family.Fortunately, there is also a sister, Jia Wangshi, and now the wife of the Rongguo Mansion, Xue Wangshi, is here to join her sister, which makes sense on the face of it.Therefore, when she heard Jia Shishi's words, she was naturally full of joy and immediately agreed.

I just wanted not to be underestimated by the people of Rongguo Mansion, and Wang Xue also wanted to show off his family's financial resources and create a reputation for his children, so he said with a smile: "Every daily fee will be waived. It’s a common way of living. Our family living here has caused a lot of trouble for the family. There are 5000 taels of silver here, but it’s my wish. Please don’t be too little, old lady. Take it for now."

As Xue Wang said, he took out a stack of bank notes from his cuff, and prepared to hand them to Wang Xifeng for collection.Nowadays, for an ordinary family of five, the expenses for a year will not exceed 20 taels. Even those of similar aristocratic families can live affluently with 3000 taels of silver.

Xue Wang thought that all the things in his family were paid by himself, and he even took out an extra 5000 taels of "benefit fee", which would definitely shock the Jia family, and naturally he would be able to build momentum for himself, so that he would not be caught by the Jia family. I underestimated it.

Originally, her idea was not wrong, but the Lin family just came out some time ago, Lin Daiyu was alone, and the annual rent fee was 1 taels.In addition, there are three festivals and two birthdays of various festivals. With such a foil, the Xue family only gave 5000 taels, which is very contemptuous.

Xue Wang's words, together with the stack of banknotes, caused the atmosphere in Rongqing hall to pause.Jia Shi's complexion was a bit ugly, it's not because she disliked Xue Wang's little giving, but she felt that she was thinking deeply, and she was stepping on her family and Lin's family to make a face for their Xue family.

As for the faces of Jia Wangshi and Wang Xifeng, they were not good-looking either. Firstly, they felt that Xue Wangshi had lost face to the daughter of the Wang family, and secondly, they really disliked the lack of money.

It must be known that the Xue family was born in an imperial merchant, and they often claimed that their family was a millionaire.He was fully thinking that the two of them would be able to make a fortune this time when the Xue family came to Beijing, but now they looked at who would be able to spend the 5000 taels this year, and they were really disappointed.

But everyone present was human sperm, Jia Shishi immediately pretended to be angry and said: "What are you talking about, my aunt! They are all relatives of my family. If I took this money, who would I become? The relatives in the capital are full of ancient capitals. Make fun of me, old woman. Put it away quickly, or I won’t obey you, and for your sister’s sake, you shouldn’t be so alien.”

Although Aunt Xue didn't know the reason, she could see the strangeness of everyone in Jia's family, so she insisted on giving it, and she just said politely: "There is no shortage of such things in the house, I just want to get along with you for a long time. , it should always be the front.”

"For people like us, gold and silver shouldn't be mentioned, but it's vulgar. Now it's nothing else, it's just a reward for people in the house, please ask Feng girl to put it away, so others will naturally have nowhere to go Talk it out."

What Xue Wang said was reasonable, but Qingwen listened to it and couldn't help laughing secretly.The Xue family originally came from an imperial merchant family. Although their ancestors have the title of Ziwei Sheren, they are a family of merchants after all, and their status is the lowest among the four major families. It is not an exaggeration to say that everyone is a "money bag", but now they despise Gold and silver are tacky.

But this step is very good. Although Wang Xifeng is not satisfied with the amount, it is for nothing after all, so after a little refusal, he said with a smile: "My aunt made me feel ashamed for doing this. We all know you There is no shortage of this at home, but now it is just used to make us juniors happy. The days are long, and I will be flattering and flattering aunt in the future. Sooner or later, you will leak a little from your fingers, so that I can take my sisters to eat Let's set up a banquet!"

"You monkey, why is your aunt an elder?" Jia Shishi smiled and pointed at Wang Xifeng and scolded, but there was no dissatisfaction in his tone, "It doesn't count if you tease your aunt, but also bring your sisters with you. They are a good girl, just like you, a shabby girl who has no shame. Shut up quickly, lest your aunt laugh at you."

No one knew what Xue Wang was thinking in his heart, but his face was full of smiles: "Don't talk about her, old lady, I just love Feng girl's temperament. When I was at home, she was a little person, and I could see her. She looked sharp and capable when she came out, but now she is more capable, as it should be. Logically, I am both her aunt and her aunt, and I am a real relative on both counts, so don't see outsiders."

Just now Jia Shishi stopped talking, and only said with a smile: "Since your aunt interceded for you, you can accept it. I just want to tell you that everything should be settled properly. If you let me know that you have neglected your aunt's family , I don't agree."

Naturally, Wang Xifeng was not afraid. Mrs. Wang started to make preparations since the Wang Xue family sent a letter to enter Beijing. Now the yard decorations and servants and maids are all complete. Worrying.

Therefore, Wang Xifeng only smiled and said: "Don't worry, old lady, naturally there will be no mistakes or omissions. I think Lixiangyuan is a good place to live. Although it is not too big, there are more than ten rooms, complete with front hall and back room. There is also a small door next to it, which directly leads to the back street, and it is convenient to enter and exit. Another one is close to the wife and the old lady. In daily leisure time, it is better for women to gather together, laugh and play dominoes than to be bored in the house .”

Jia Shishi nodded after hearing this, and said: "You have thought carefully, that place is very suitable. If that is the case, please hurry up and order someone to clean it out. The boxes and cages of the concubine's family also need to be moved there, and it must be done properly. .”

Naturally, Wang Xifeng knew that Xue's family's belongings had already been moved in, but she had to put on a show in front of Jia Shishi, so she immediately agreed.He also expressed his annoyance to everyone, and brought Tonggui, Xue Wang's personal servant girl, and a nanny who was in charge of Xue's family, and went to settle down without mentioning it.

Since then, the Xue family has lived in Lixiangyuan.Mrs. Xue chatted with Mrs. Wang every day, or flattered her in front of Jia Shishi to relieve her boredom. She was not idle every day, but within half a month she had integrated into the life of Jia's family.

As for Xue Baochai, she stayed with Daiyu and Sanchun sisters, reading and painting, or exchanging needlework. They were all bright and bright girls, who knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they were very happy.

The author has something to say:

I remember last time there was a cutie who talked about Wang Xifeng's name for Xue Wang in the comment area.I thought about it carefully, since Wang Xifeng is already married, logically speaking, the title of seniority should be counted from Jia Lian, that is, it is more reasonable to call her aunt, and you can call her aunt in private.For example, her name is Mrs. Wang, most of the time she is called wife, and occasionally she is called aunt.
