Struggle of Baochai

Sure enough, the Feng family did what they said, and took Baochai and Yinglian to Mrs. Xue's room, and talked seriously with Mrs. Xue about recognizing Baochai as a righteous daughter.

Mrs. Xue saw that Feng was not joking, and then thought of what Baochai had mentioned earlier, she agreed after thinking about it for a while.

Seeing that Mrs. Xue agreed, Mrs. Feng smiled and called Baochai to her eyes, and took a small wooden box from the hand of her close maid. When she opened it, she saw two hairpins inside, one of jasper, and a half-opened magnolia carved. The flower is a peony carved from blood jade.

Feng gave the jasper one to Yinglian, and took the blood jade one to Baochai: "This peony flower is not suitable for everyone, but I think Baochai is suitable."

Even if Fengshi sincerely wanted to give it, Baochai didn't refuse, and thanked Fengshi for accepting it, and put the peony hairpin on her head.

Mrs. Xue looked at the pair of girls standing in front of her. Baochai was dignified and graceful, and Yinglian was charming and beautiful. They each had their own characteristics but were both clean and beautiful. For a moment of joy, she asked Tongfu to take her jewelry box, and after opening it, she picked out a pair of white jade noble concubines. Putting the bracelet on Yinglian's hand: "It was given to me by my mother when I was married. I said it was for Baochai, but Baochai's appearance is not suitable for this jade bracelet. I see that Yinglian is doing well. It must look good when paired with it, and sure enough, my eyesight is pretty good."

Yinglian bowed her head and blushed to thank Mrs. Xue.

"Thank you." Mrs. Xue stroked the top of her head with a smile: "We will be a family in the future, if you say thank you again, I will be annoyed."

Baochai pursed her lips and laughed straight: "Sister, you don't have to be polite with Mom. Mom is the most forthright and generous. If you have any good things, you will never hide them. Let me tell you, Mom has a lot of good things. Which one does my sister like?" , just tell mom, if mom doesn't give it, you can use this to block her mouth."

"How could you say that about your mother?" Feng Shi almost laughed, pointing at Baochai and said, "I dare say you have a younger sister, so you put your mother aside, and you only think about your younger sister, and help your younger sister to seek help." It's your mother's baby."

"Exactly." Baochai said confidently, "I'm not only plotting for my mother's treasures, but also for my adoptive mother's treasures, so that my sister Yinglian and I will not have to plot."

"Here, I'll give it all to you." Feng put down the teacup, "I'm only your two daughters. From now on, all my things will belong to you, and I'll keep them as dowry for you."

As soon as these words came out, both Baochai and Yinglian blushed, lowered their heads and dared not speak any more.

"Where did the refreshing energy just now go?" Feng Shi pursed her lips and smiled to tease Baochai.

Baochai turned and pulled Yinglian and went out: "Mom and stepmother are the most disobedient, they only tease us, sister, let's play by ourselves and ignore them."

Amidst a burst of laughter, Baochai and Yinglian left Mrs. Xue's room, turned around and walked along the corridors on both sides for a while, bypassing a door carved with moon, and entered the small garden on one side.

This garden is not big, but it is very delicately arranged. There is no shortage of rockery ponds, small bridges and pavilions. All kinds of precious flowers are dotted in it, which looks very refreshing and pleasing to the eye.

Baochai took Yinglian's flowers and brushed the willows and walked to a small pavilion. There was a small round wooden table in the pavilion, and there were several wooden blocks for people to rest. Baochai and Yinglian sat down, and the two sisters whispered talking.

Yinglian broke off a rose at random, played with it in her hand, and asked Baochai in a low voice, "Have you heard about Uncle Xue? Brother Xue has been away for a long time, why is there no news?"

Baochai sighed: "No news is a good thing. What I fear most these days are letters from the capital."

Under Yinglian's puzzled gaze, Baochai explained with all her heart: "If my brother writes to my father, then everyone will be happy, and my heart will be relieved. Mom doesn't have to worry day and night, but if... Bad letter, I would rather never receive a letter, so that I can think about it."

"Don't think too much." Yinglian grabbed Baochai's hand, and she was shocked when she held it. Today's weather is very good. After a long time outside, you will feel a little hot, but Baochai's hand is Cold: "I hope my sister will take care."

Yinglian didn't know what to say, so she could only say some comforting words: "Uncle Xue is a good man. There is an old saying that good people are rewarded with good things. I think Uncle Xue will be fine. In a few days, my sister will be reunited with her family." .”

"I accept your good words." Baochai replied with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, the two talked about some interesting stories about Baochai at school. Yinglian told Baochai what Feng said yesterday about letting her go to a girls' school. She knows more words.

Over there, Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Feng made an agreement on the matter of confessing their relatives. Mrs. Xue asked the housekeeper to send someone to inform the other seven households of Xue's family, saying that tomorrow they would serve wine to Baochai to recognize his parents.

The person Mrs. Xue sent this time was very timely. The original Qifang was discussing the planning of several shops in the Xue family. When they heard that Zhen Shiyin wanted to recognize Baochai as a righteous daughter, he immediately dismissed this idea. The fourth master pressed down. These people just said to wait and see, Zhen Shiyin is the official of the court, and he can't live in Xue's house for a few days, and he will have endless plans when he leaves.

But the second room was a bit discouraged. They were afraid that if they offended Baochai, Zhen Shiyin would help Baochai get it back. The two brothers in the first house discussed it for a while, and they only felt that this matter should be done more safely. Don't be too hasty, don't do it If you fail to steal the chicken, you will lose the rice.

All the houses made small plans and made up their minds, which made Xue's family live a smooth and stable day.

In the evening, Baochai was talking with Feng and Yinglian in the room, when Tongfu opened the curtain and came in. As soon as he entered the room, he gave Baochai a letter and said in a low voice, "This is a letter from Miss Lin of Yangzhou."

Baochai looked at the envelope, and the words on it were indeed in Daiyu's handwriting. She was a little puzzled, wondering why Daiyu wrote to her?

Opening the letter, Baochai took out the letter paper and read it through. After reading it, she was so upset that she didn't even realize that the letter paper fell to the ground.

But it turned out that Jia Min had gone a few days ago, and Daiyu was very sad and was lying in bed. Lin Ruhai was afraid that Daiyu would miss her mother, so she persuaded her to think about it, and asked her to write a letter to Baochai, hoping that Baochai would be happy. Can untie Jie Daiyu.

Thinking back to his previous life, Jia Min also went there at this time, and in two months, I am afraid that Daiyu will go north with the Jia family. Thinking about Daiyu, and thinking about herself, Baochai panicked.

Jia Min just went like this in his previous life, so what about his father, can he save his life?

Feng bent down to pick up the letter, and inadvertently saw the news of Jia Min's death, and her hands trembled in shock: "Madam Lin has gone? Why is such a dexterous person so miserable."

Baochai shook her head and smiled wryly: "Mrs. Lin has always been weak. Her young son died of illness a while ago. If I think about it, my adoptive mother knows that Master Lin and his wife have endured for so many years to have such a son. The son will leave immediately. Mrs. Lin feels discouraged for a while. Feeling cold, that's all... But, she will leave Mrs. Lin alone to raise Sister Lin, I'm afraid this will make life difficult for the father and daughter."

Feng sighed: "The relationship between the Lin family and the husband is very good. Even Mrs. Lin has had no children for many years, and Mr. Lin has never taken a concubine. If Mrs. Lin leaves, I am afraid that Mrs. Lin will lose half of her life."
