[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

Mother Jia was very upset.

She realized that she had made a wrong decision: Originally, she asked to see Jia Yan to have a private conversation with Jia Yan, but Jia Yan directly invited the female relatives of Dongfu, including Youshi Qin Keqing's mother-in-law and Mrs. Li's family who were guests at Jia's house. With Aunt Xue and others.

She rejected her request to meet, but met these people.

To Jia Mu, Jia Yan's behavior was like a slap in the face of Jia Mu.

If Mother Jia was lucky before entering the garden today, then now, Mother Jia no longer has any illusions in her heart.

Jia's mother wanted to work hard for Jia Zheng's future, but Jia Yan didn't say a word, and threw the word delusion to Jia's mother.

What makes Jia's mother even more aggrieved is: she can't say anything - she can't blame Jia Yan, because Jia Yan is a concubine and a king.

And Mother Jia also knew that everyone present, as long as they had a brain, could almost see it.

Including Youshi, whom Jiamu always looked down upon, and Xue Baochai, who was secretly disliked by Jiamu.

What made Jia Mu even more distressed was that she still had to act nonchalantly—this was the Grand View Garden, the Royal Palace, and the territory of the concubine Jia Yan, and Jia Mu had to act nonchalantly. Then figure it out in private.

After much deliberation, Mother Jia had no choice but to ask Tanchun, no, Shi Xiangyun to help deliver the message for her.

Tanchun is shrewd and meticulous and will plan for herself. Jia's mother knows it, but Jia's mother is unwilling to entrust Tanchun because she knows Tanchun's character.Because Jia's mother is very clear, just like before Tanchun pushed Mrs. Wang and stepped on Zhao Auntie and Jia Huan. Now that Tanchun has a future and a dowry, there is no need to please Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, and naturally she will not do it for her. Jia Zheng's future is to ask his cousin Jia Yan to make her unhappy.On the contrary, Tanchun will do everything possible to please Jia Yan, including avoiding her biological father, even if she is Jia Zheng's daughter, but her nature of being good at planning for herself will keep her at least a minimum of filial piety to Jia Zheng, This kind of filial piety is limited to the minimum that does not offend Jia Yan, nor lowers his own reputation, and does not harm his own interests.

In other words, it is simply impossible for Tanchun to speak well of Jia Zheng in front of Jia Yan.

Rather than looking for Tanchun, it is better to count on Shi Xiangyun.

Mother Jia knew very well the tempers of Tanchun, Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai, and she also knew that among the three, Shi Xiangyun had the purest heart for Jia Baoyu, so instead of counting on Tanchun, she might as well count on Shi Xiangyun.

After wandering around the garden for a long time, Jia's mother came up with this answer.

However, if you want to talk to Shi Xiangyun about this, it doesn’t have to be today, any day can be used for her morning and evening—Mother Jia can definitely keep Shi Xiangyun here, and then tell Shi Xiangyun in private—it’s not necessary at all. Saying today, it was just a joke for others to read.

After discovering that she was similar to the mascot now, Mother Jia didn't like to let Mrs. Li and Aunt Xue see jokes, which she absolutely couldn't tolerate.

In fact, Mrs. Li's visit to Jia's house is still young, and Aunt Xue is not smart enough, so naturally she didn't discover Mother Jia's intentions at the first time.

Mother Jia and the elders walked around the garden, sat around for a while, and then went back.Mother Jia didn't even go to Lin Daiyu's side - because her clothes were too gorgeous to appear in front of Lin Daiyu who was still mourning for her father.

As soon as the elders left, the girls became more and more happy, and Tanchun immediately launched the Hongmei Poetry Club.

Each of them wrote many poems.Xue Baoqin, Li Wen and Li Qi originally thought that the poems made by Tanchun and others would be shown to Jia Yan, but they didn't expect that they would have fun all afternoon. Jin Pavilion.As for sisters Li Wen and Li Qi, they were entertained by Tanchun and stayed in Qiushuangzhai.

This is also what Jia Yan said before, if they play late, they can stay in the Grand View Garden after reporting to the waiter.

At night, when the stars were twinkling in the sky, Xue Baoqin couldn't fall asleep, so she just talked with her cousin:

"Big sister, why don't we show the poems we have finished to the empress?"

Is it true that Concubine Shu is not good at poetry like the rumors?

Xue Baochai said: "Your Majesty once said that piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and poetry are not a stepping stone, but something for self-cultivation. If you like it, put more thought into it. If you don't like it, just leave it aside. This poetry club is also the same."

After speaking, Xue Baochai talked about the formation of the club that day, and said: "This poetry club first satisfied our elegance, and secondly, it also trained us to be housekeepers and directors. As for poetry, my mother never insisted."

Xue Baoqin said: "Big sister, poetry is the voice of the heart. If the empress saw the poem we made today, who would she like?"

To be more precise, who would Jia Yan like.

Xue Baochai was silent for a while, and said, "But what happened to the Mei family?"

When Xue Baoqin's father was still there, he arranged a marriage for Xue Baoqin, which was Mei Hanlin's family.I don't want to, after Xue Baoqin's father passed away a few years ago, the Mei family cut off contact with their family.

This is also the reason why Xue Baoqin's mother hurriedly sent her son Xue Bian and her daughter Xue Baoqin to Beijing to join Aunt Xue in spite of her phlegm disease.

This is the morals of the world are harsh to girls after all.If the Mei family divorced, no matter whether Xue Baoqin was at fault or not, they would still pour dirty water on Xue Baoqin's head in the end.

Although she looked innocent and lively on the surface, in fact, Xue Baoqin was also worried.Even though she is still young, she will not be unclear about the severity of this kind of matter.

To be honest, Xue Baoqin was really relieved when he heard that his cousin lived in the palace of Concubine Shu.

In this world, girls from the same family always prosper and lose together.Moreover, there is a big age difference between her and her cousin Xue Baochai. If the cousin gets a favor, it will only make her cheaper. If the cousin is not well, she will be more anxious than others.Because that would also affect her marriage.

Xue Baoqin believed that if Concubine Shu had more eyes on her cousin, then the Mei family would only wish that she would pass through the door as soon as she was old enough.On the contrary, if the cousin doesn't want the mother's wishes, the Mei family will only continue to be so vague.

Just for her own sake, Xue Baoqin also hoped that her cousin would be respected by Concubine Shu.

However, Xue Baoqin was still young after all, upon hearing Xue Baochai's words, she immediately faltered and couldn't speak.

Although the cousin's face could not be seen clearly in the dark, Xue Baochai could also hear the cousin's unspeakable secrets from the voice.

Xue Baochai grabbed Xue Baoqin's hand from under the quilt, and said softly to her cousin's ear, "Sister, don't try to figure out what your mother is thinking."

"big sister?"

Xue Baochai said: "Remember, in this garden, the only ones who are really regarded as sisters by the empress are Mr. Lin from the Oujing Pavilion and the fourth girl from the Tubi Mountain Villa. The rest, the empress will use, but they will not be regarded as sisters. "

"what!"

With a soft call, Xue Baoqin's voice was somewhat clear.

As the daughter of the Xue family, although she was loved by her father when she was young, she was not trapped in a boudoir like ordinary girls, so she has an extraordinarily open-minded personality, and she is very generous in her actions and poems.But in essence, Xue Baoqin is still a little girl, a little girl who has received a qualified lady education.When Xue Baochai mentioned some things, she would naturally remember them.

"It turned out to be so."

Xue Baoqin said so.

As the daughter of a merchant family, Xue Baoqin knows very well that in this era, noble people have many privileges, but they also cannot be free.

Take Jia Yan's identity as an example. If her actions were changed to other ladies, she might be very arrogant.But for her who has accepted the royal invitation and will enter the palace as Concubine Shu in the future, this is already a very modest attitude.

No matter what Jia Yan thinks deep in her heart, her identity, and the laws and regulations of the country, she is not allowed to have too much contact with the sisters Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin who were born in merchants, let alone have an equal friendship.

Even if she thought about it, the ladies and servants around her would not allow it.

What Xue Baoqin thought of, Xue Baochai naturally thought of it too.

She said: "You, don't think about it. The empress does not have a deep friendship with us, but it is not because we are merchants and merchants."

For Xue Baochai, the word "merchant" is something that Xue Baochai would never reveal. Even when it is a last resort, Xue Baochai will also emphasize the word "imperial merchant".

In fact, whether it is Jia Yan or Xue Baochai, they all know that from the moment Xue Pan's accident happened, the Xue family's imperial business signboard was gone.

This is the tacit secret of both of them.

However, most people care about saving face, such as Jia’s family, who have a swollen face when their insides are up, and they pay attention to extravagance in everything. Xue’s family is the same. She acted nonchalantly, indicating that because her son was still young, the signboard of the Imperial Merchant was temporarily given over to her brother-in-law.

God knows who this little brother-in-law that Aunt Xue hinted at on weekdays is!

Of course, Xue Baochai is the same.

Even though she knew it was a lie, Xue Baochai did the same in front of others, in front of Tanchun, Li Wan and others.

This is the first time that Xue Baochai admits that the imperial business signboard of their family is gone.

Although this object is only her cousin, and it's just a whisper between their sisters.However, this time is also the first time that Xue Baochai has really admitted this.

When uttering these two words, Xue Baochai suddenly relaxed for some reason.

Xue Baoqin was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Then big sister means..."

Xue Baochai said meaningfully: "Everyone likes to associate with people who value love and righteousness. That's all. Just watch."

look at?

What to look at?

Xue Baoqin was puzzled.But Xue Baochai didn't answer her, but turned over and fell asleep.
