[Red Mansion] The Wife of Powerful Officials

Mrs. Shi Hou left.

It is said that on the day she left, she had a cold look on her face, as if she didn't want to care about Shi Xiangyun any more.

Shi Xiangyun also seemed to be heartbroken, and he didn't go out much for a while, and it was boring for the servants to talk about, so he shut up after all.

Only two days after Mrs. Shihou left, there was another commotion in Jiamu's courtyard.

Zijuan learned to listen to Daiyu, and said: "The second master Ribao went to the old lady's room that day. The old lady loved him too much, but she scolded him that day. I didn't know until later that Wei Ruo Lan came to the mansion, actually looking for Miss Shi to withdraw her marriage. He was brought in by Second Master Bao, who happily said that she would be happy to let Miss Shi withdraw her marriage."

After hearing this, Daiyu couldn't laugh or cry.

"What a fool he is!"

Zijuan also sighed: "Fortunately, Second Master Bao is married now."

Otherwise, it would really make trouble for the entire Jia family, and when Daiyu had to be assigned to him, they didn't know how many things would be dragged down by this ancestor.

"What are you talking about? Tell me too." The girl opened the curtain and saw Baochai stepping into the door with a smile on her face.

When Daiyu saw her, she got up immediately: "Coincidentally, I have something to tell you."

The smile on Baochai's face became wider: "I have a tacit understanding with Sister Lin."

Daiyu took her to sit down, and asked Zijuan to make tea, and in a short while there were only two of them left in the room.

"He read the letter." Daiyu pursed her lower lip and said in a low voice, "He, he asked me to ask my sister."

"Ask what?" Baochai tilted her head and waited for her to continue.

In the end, the trust in Heshen prevailed, and Daiyu said, "Ask if my sister wants to enter the palace?"

Baochai clenched the handkerchief tightly, raised her brows slightly, and her expression changed subtly.But I couldn't tell whether it was joy or anger.

After a while, Baochai breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Thank you sister for making such a plan for me."

Daiyu was at a loss, how did she plan?

Then I heard Baochai say, "I'm not afraid to tell my sister. My family also had such thoughts, but they got stuck in reality and just gave up such thoughts." Xue's family didn't have the strength to send her into the palace.Although the Wang family has one, the Wang family already has Yuanchun.Only then did Aunt Xue settle for the next best thing, and wanted her to marry Baoyu.

For Yu Baochai, there is no difference between marrying anyone.

But since Baoyu looks like this, why not seek a better future?

In the past, it was a branch that had no strength to rely on, but now that it has it, there is no room for hesitation.

The education Baochai received since she was a child was to give her everything for the family. She was born with weak desires. She never asked for her appearance, but only wanted to be liked by everyone around her. decline.

Daiyu and Baochai are really different people.

So at first Daiyu was still a Baochai and didn't want to enter the palace. After all, after looking at Yuanchun's appearance, she knew that the deep palace and high walls could grind people down.

But Baochai likes it as long as he likes it, and each person has his own pursuit.

"Then I'll let someone answer the conversation today." Daiyu said.

Baochai smiled again, she seldom laughed out loud, it was not very dignified after all.Only now did I see her smiling enthusiastically, and saw her holding my hand, and said affectionately: "Your hard work, Sister Lin, I will always remember Sister Lin's love."

Daiyu is living more freely than anyone else now, and she has no interests with Baochai, and the two have gotten closer recently, she thought about it, and said to Baochai: "I hope sister Baochai will get what she wants. "

Baochai laughed again: "Thank you sister for your kind words."

After that, the two met for a walk in the garden.

Today there is no Shi Xiangyun, and there is no Wei Ruolan, even Jia Baoyu stayed in the room sullenly because of his own mess up, making out with Xiren.

It was rare that the garden was quite quiet, so the two wandered around for a long time before returning.

When Baochai returned to Hengwu Garden, Aunt Xue was waiting for her.

"Why did you go out so early today?" Aunt Xue took the cloak for her, and sat down at the table with Baochai: "You have seen it in the past few days, what do you think?"

After all, Aunt Xue frowned: "This Miss Shi is a disaster. She spends all day making trouble in the Rongguo Mansion. She doesn't talk about it herself, and she also ruins the reputation of others."

"It's all right." Baochai smiled as before, "Mother doesn't have to look around for me anymore."

"Do you have a plan in mind?" Aunt Xue knew that she had always had a plan, so she immediately asked.

"I talked to Sister Lin a few days ago, and I didn't think about anything else at the time. Today she wrote back to me, saying that the minister and servant asked her to ask me if I would like to enter the palace."

Aunt Xue was startled, and then her eyes were slightly sour: "It is, it is actually picking a way from him."

"That's what we planned too. Isn't it the best result now?"

Aunt Xue nodded her head, but her heart still felt unavoidable.

They have all seen Yuanchun.

I saw the scenery of Yuanchun.

I also saw Yuanchun's weakness under the pearl hairpin and phoenix crown.

But if Baochai can really enter the palace, it will glorify their Xue family.

Aunt Xue bit her lip, and said, "After two days, it's best to prepare a gift and thank Miss Lin."

Baochai nodded, "That's exactly what I mean."

After all, the two chatted for a while, and then they took a rest.

He Shen was not surprised when he heard back.

Baochai is ambitious and even more resourceful.Between Yuanchun and her, there is an unknown number of Tanchuns.

Among the twelve beauties in Jinling, except for one Daiyu, none of the Heshen next to her would pay attention.But Baochai is really smart, she knows the pros and cons, and knows to make a decision that is best for her.So she knew how to maintain Daiyu quietly in Jia's mansion.He Shen didn't hate her selfishness and calculations, so he went along with the flow and sent her to the palace.

Baochai enters the palace.

No one was hit harder than Yuanchun.

He Shen was pleased to see that scene.

What's more, He Shen has other plans. It would be good if Baochai paves the way.

What a coincidence.

It's time for the draft this year.

He Shen then sent a letter asking Daiyu to lead Baochai to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

At least there is a mother Li in the Xiaoxiang hall.

After all, Nanny Li is someone who has stayed in the palace for a long time. She will be Baochai's helper.

After dealing with these matters, He Shen went out.

He Lin saw her brother's back from a distance, and couldn't help muttering: "What is brother going out again?"

The girl who was waiting on the side smiled and said: "It should be to choose something for Miss Lin. Every few days, the master has to do it by himself."

He Shen went to Lianjia shop to pick up new products.

Lian Zhengxing recruited a group of craftsmen under his command, and made a lot of things.

On the one hand, He Shen went to see what he could learn and made it for Daiyu, and on the other hand, he deliberately selected some new gadgets and sent them to the palace.

Lian Zhengxing hadn't seen Heshen for a long time, but he didn't see any unfamiliarity. He respectfully introduced Heshen to the door, and took Heshen to see new gadgets.

"It's made according to the old recipes you gave earlier." Lian Zhengxing looked a little excited, "The effect is much better than a batch of rouge and gouache in the world. Recently, many noble people have come to the shop Come, those who want to call the name."

After finishing speaking, Lian Zhengxing bowed to Heshen again: "I really want to thank the servant for this matter, if there is no servant..."

He Shen interrupted him, raised his hand to pick up an exquisite porcelain container, and played with it twice: "It needs to be made more delicate."

Lian Zhengxing was slightly taken aback.

"It's enough for the nobles in Beijing." He Shen paused, "But it's not enough for the nobles in the palace."

Lian Zhengxing was startled again, but then a burst of ecstasy erupted in his heart, and he didn't show this joy on his face.He looked serious, and bowed to He Shen again: "But listen to the servant's instruction."

He Shen briefly mentioned a few words to him, and then borrowed a craftsman back to the mansion to make trouble.

Lian Zhengxing happily sent him away.

When he turned around, he saw Lian's father looking out carefully, and asked, "Going away?"

Lian Zhengxing nodded, stepped forward to support Lian's father, and said in a deep voice, "Father, the time for our family to flourish is just around the corner."

Lian's father patted Lian Zhengxing on the shoulder: "I have a good son for my father!" Then, he sighed again: "Our family has also formed a good marriage!"

But he never mentioned what happened to the Rongguo Mansion.

They are all smart people, knowing that everything today was not given by the elder of the Rongguo Mansion, but by He Shen.

When he turned his back, Lian's family couldn't help sighing inwardly, this fiancée who was treated very well by the servant.

Even the cousins ​​of the fiancée have to take care of them.

And this side of Daiyu also got a reply.

She was already thinking clearly, and now she naturally understood what He Shen meant.

Daiyu called Nanny Li to her and told her that she wanted to ask her to teach Baochai some rules.

Nanny Li understood immediately.

Seeing that September of this year will be the time for the three-year general election, many families will send their daughters to the palace for a draft.

Ms. Lin hopes that Ms. Xue will make a good face during the draft.

Nanny Li knows that her master is Daiyu now, so she doesn't hide it and play tricks.She responded immediately.

And when Baochai came to Daiyu's place, Nanny Li also talked to Baochai about the rules in the palace, and taught her many etiquettes in sitting, standing and walking.Even more than what I talked to Daiyu.

After all, Nanny Li can tell the difference.She knew that Miss Lin would not have to worry about those inner secrets when she married a servant, so naturally there was no need to learn those things.But this Miss Xue has everything to learn...

In the blink of an eye, it was another few days.

Now it was the Wei family who came to Rongguo Mansion with their relatives. This time, they really wanted to withdraw from Shi Xiangyun's family.

The reason is that Shi Xiangyun couldn't accept this kind of psychological gap before, and when he made a fuss in his own room, his servants spread the word.

Jia Mu was furious, but Mrs. Shihou was not in Beijing.

She had no choice but to appease the Wei family for the time being, and the two sides discussed for a long time, only seeking the face of the whole family.

When Shi Xiangyun heard the news, he secretly ran outside the Xiaoxiang Hall to have a look.

But I saw Daiyu, Baochai and a few maids burying flowers in the yard with hoes, and their faces were full of relief.

Shi Xiangyun's heart was so sore that he didn't even dare to make a sound, so he just left quietly.

For a while, I was aimless, not knowing where to find protection.
