Struggle of Baochai

"You, you..."

Mrs. Xue was very angry, she stroked her chest and pointed at the second wife, speechless.

"It's just that Baochai's education is not good. My sister-in-law needs to concentrate on teaching in the future. Let us help you with the management of the housekeeper." The fourth wife stood up with a smile: "It's too easy for my sister-in-law to have no time. The girl has gone wild."

"What about me, it seems it's not my turn to make irresponsible remarks." A clear and cold voice came, and Baochai turned around from the back door and appeared with a smile on his face, looking at the uncles sitting in the hall. Auntie moved her body once again: "According to Auntie and Auntie, could it be that this girl who went to a girls' school has gone wild?"

She supported Mrs. Xue with a smile, and focused her eyes on the second wife: "Auntie, I seem to remember that your natal cousin seems to be an official in Yangzhou, and his girl is studying in Yangzhou Women's School. I heard that, The results are excellent."

Immediately afterwards, Baochai looked at the third wife with a smile again: "Second aunt, you seem to be closely related to the wife of the prefect of Jinling, and you should also know that his daughter is in the same class as me. The relationship is pretty good, and we made an appointment last week to listen to the cross talk together, could it be that this magistrate's wife doesn't know how to teach her daughter? She's hanging out with a wild girl like me."

"I, I didn't mean that." The eldest wife of Sanfang relied on her relationship with the magistrate's wife to gain a foothold in the Xue family. If the magistrate's wife knew that she had slandered her own girl, she might not be spared : "Baochai, Auntie didn't say anything about you."

Baochai smiled and nodded: "I know that my aunt is good, she has loved me since I was a child, don't worry, my aunt, I will never say these words to Su Lan."

While talking, Baochai laughed again: "As a woman, chastity should be the main priority. The words of the uncles and aunts are very reasonable. Baochai should respect the elders logically, and should guard this woman. However, both men and daughters should speak the word loyalty. Loyalty is the first priority in everything. Baochai is a daughter's family. Although she learns a few words on weekdays, it is a pity that she cannot read Shi Mingli like a man. But even so, Baochai also knows one thing."

Having said this, Baochai stopped deliberately, helped Mrs. Xue to sit on the chair, and asked Tongshou to drink tea for Mrs. Xue to calm down. She turned her head and said with a smile, "elders, please sit down. I also know that you are deeply angry with my mother, feel bad from the bottom of your heart, and want to make amends and apologize, but my mother has always been good-natured, so she will not care about you like you, if this gift is not compensated, my mother will not do anything, everyone Please sit down, save yourself from going out, and someone will say that we, mother and daughter, are bullying you."

Baochai's words were sharp, taking these people's accusations against Mrs. Xue as an apology, and ironic that they came to the door when they saw something happened to the big house to bully the big house, orphans and widows, and no one to take care of them.

The faces of the wives who talked about the words were not good-looking, and they wanted to offend Baochai, but when they thought about it, they offended Baochai again. Fat.

In this way, he could only sit down angrily.

Baochai asked for hot tea to be served again, and put some snacks on the small table for everyone to take by themselves.

She retreated behind Mother Xue by herself, with a smile on Yuanyuan's face, her almond eyes curved into half crescents, and the dimples on her cheeks were deep: "I am a daughter, but I also know that this female student is proposed by the Prince Regent." It was built, who is the regent? Thinking about it, the elders also understand that even the royal family and the current prime minister respect and admire the regent. The regent proposed to open a girls' school, which is also for my Qing dynasty. Okay, why did the elders say that going to a women's school is unfeminine? A while ago, I heard in a daze that Ma Jia, who graduated from the Beijing Women's School with honors, married into the royal family. By the way, the women's school was only opened back then At that time, Princess Duanhui, the eldest daughter of the Prince Regent’s family, was the first to enter the school. Could it be that Princess Duanhui is also a wild girl? Auntie, auntie, it’s hard to say, we are all a family, and my mother and I don’t care. I’ll think about it a lot, but if it’s passed on, it’s hard to guarantee that no one will add fuel to it.”

After finishing speaking, Baochai handed Mrs. Xue a piece of snack: "Mother, you taught me to be loyal to the country, so you sent me to the women's school. Wuqing taught me that although we are a daughter's family, we can talk about loyalty." I can't be inferior to a man. Both men and women should be loyal to the country. This is the duty of a person. I always keep it in my heart. I deeply feel that my mother's words and deeds are exemplary. How come others say that my mother is not Will you educate your children?"

Baochai vigorously praised Mrs. Xue, and tried her best to suppress the wives in the other rooms. She yelled and hit, sarcastically and secretly belittled. no.

After a while, the eldest lady of the second room still had some ideas, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said with a smile: "Baochai, you misheard what we said just now, thinking about it, you only listened to it for a while, but didn't listen to the whole thing." , we are not saying that it is not good for you to go to women's school, but that it is wrong for you to coax people, especially if you are coaxing your own parents, which is even more wrong."

"Auntie, when did I coax you?" Baochai stopped smiling, blinked her apricot eyes, and looked confused: "I have been helping my mother at home these days, when have I been to my uncle's house? I don’t remember, I hope Auntie will tell me.”

"When we came to your house a few days ago, didn't you say that your father wrote a letter saying that he was going home soon, and that your uncle would also come back. I happily went back and told your uncle, but I didn't know that your uncle scolded me a lot. Don, say that your uncle is doing well overseas, so why would he want to come back?" The wife of the second room pointed at Baochai and laughed out loud: "Good boy, you know that you love to play with your aunt at a young age, auntie Auntie didn't blame you for being scolded and beaten because of your words, but just wanted to tell you, don't lie to others in the future."

She made such a face, which made Baochai feel hypocritical and disgusting.

Baochai bowed her head: "Uncle, even if you give Baochai 1 courage, Baochai won't dare to lie to you. This is obviously a letter sent by my uncle, and it is clearly written. If you don't believe me, I will How about writing a letter to Uncle and letting Uncle distinguish?"

Speaking of this, Baochai patted his head, and suddenly said in surprise: "Oh, I forgot one thing, my uncle will be promoted to the Minister of Foreign Trade soon, and there are many things to do these days, how can I write to bother you?" Uncle, so, if my uncle wants to say that Baochai coaxed you, Baochai can only accept it because of uncle. Uncle, all elders, it is Baochai's fault. If Baochai compensates you, you will be beaten and punished. Baochai has nothing to say, that is... Even if you feel uncomfortable, you will lock Baochai up and starve for a long time, Baochai will not blame you, you are all for Baochai's good, Baochai Not ignorant..."

The more Baochai spoke, the lower her voice became, and she made the most of her grievances.

If she did this, if someone still held onto her trick of coaxing others, she would become ignorant of flattery and care about the child.

Moreover, Baochai moved out his uncle Wang Ziteng, and released the news of Wang Ziteng's promotion, which shocked the wife of Qifang.

Only then did they realize that Mrs. Xue had a background. Even if Xue Hong went, Mrs. Xue was not something they could handle. The family is the old mansion of the state, and the dignitaries of the old school, so it is really not easy for them to eat a piece of meat from Dafang, but if they do, who knows if there is any hard bone in the meat, gnawed their teeth.
