Struggle of Baochai

Baochai found that she was becoming more and more ignorant of the current world, and she became more and more careful when speaking.

Xue Hong was a little tired after talking, so he drank a few sips of water with Xue's mother's hand, and when he put down the teacup, he smiled at Baochai: "Since Baochai is cured, he should go to school, because of his father's illness. You have already missed your homework, if you don't go to school, you may fall behind in the exam."

go to school?Baochai was startled inwardly, bowed her head and said in a low voice, "I'm still worried about my father, and I want to serve him for a few more days."

"That's all." Xue Hong waved his hand: "There are so many servants in the family, how can I make you tired, and besides, I am fine, so there is no need for my son to delay homework."

Seeing that Xue's father was determined, Baochai couldn't say anything more, so she lowered her head and said nothing more.

Just at this time, a girl came to report that the concubine of Jia's mansion in the capital had delivered the medicine, and Xue's mother took Baochai out of the back room. When she reached the front hall, she saw a woman standing in the hall, holding a rather thick Seeing Xue's mother coming out, he quickly handed it over: "Madam, this is the delivery list for my aunt to mail the medicine. Please sign it so that I can take it to the postman."

Xue's mother should do this kind of thing often, so she quickly took a pen and wrote Xue Hong's name on the paper. The woman took the medicine paper and went out. The box comes in.

The box was tightly sealed, and there were many densely packed small characters written on it. Mother Xue asked the mother-in-law to use scissors to remove the cloth wrapped outside and the strip of seal, and opened the lid of the box, and saw that there were indeed many medicinal materials inside. The letter is inside.

Mother Xue waited for the wives to leave and opened the letter. After reading it for a long time, she sighed: "Your aunt is getting worse and worse."

"What was written in Auntie's letter?" Baochai saw her mother interacting with Mrs. Wang, and she was filled with anger. She wished she could tear up the letter so that her family would never communicate with Jia's again, and hide far away for the rest of her life. Those who don't see the Jia family are the best, but knowing that the mother still trusts Mrs. Wang very much, she doesn't dare to make a mistake.

Xue's mother sat down and pulled Baochai over: "Zhu'er from your aunt's house has gone. Zhu's daughter-in-law is desperately trying to give birth to a brother, but your aunt just resents your sister-in-law, Kefu, and Lan Geerke's father. I don't like them, I hate them, your sister-in-law Zhu is really sad at home."

Baochai remembered that it was also at this time in her previous life. After the death of Big Brother Zhu, Mrs. Wang hated Li Wan and Jia Lan to the core. My heart is as dead ashes.

"If you ask me, how can I blame Zhu'er's daughter-in-law, Lan Ge'er can't complain, and your aunt is too arrogant." Xue's mother was still reading, Baochai smiled: "Mom! It’s fine to just say a few words, it’s someone else’s family business after all, we can’t get in the way, if Mom loves Sister-in-Law Zhu, I’ll just give her some practical things when I go to the capital to send gifts.”

"What my son said is true." Mother Xue nodded secretly, then pulled Baochai to sit beside her, and stroked the top of her hair: "Is my son unwilling to go to school to study? According to me, my daughter's parents are better and can If you are in charge of the family, you can learn a few more characters without opening your eyes, so why bother to read the Laoshizi book."

"Mom..." Baochai buried her head in Xue's mother's arms: "I like to read books. Reading makes people understand. Besides, the world is changing every day. Who knows what tomorrow will be like. It's not a bad thing to read more books." .”

Thinking of this, Baochai also thought of his mother's love for his brother, so he wanted to persuade him: "Mom, I am a daughter after all, and I can't support the family. Our Xue family will depend on my brother in the future. Mother should let my brother do more. Just read some books."

"My son, doesn't mom know about this." Xue's mother's voice became more and more loving: "Only your elder brother can't sit down, and in addition to the fact that your big brother Zhu went away a few years ago, mom is thinking about you, Zhu. Eldest brother is dying to study, but even if Pan'er doesn't study, she will still be strong and healthy."

Baochai didn't know what to say. Her mother doted on her elder brother, so it didn't make any sense. If she wanted her elder brother to make progress, all she wanted was her father's idea, and her elder brother could change it. However, this was another How difficult.

After talking about family affairs with Mother Xue in the room for a while, Baochai quietly inquired about some things clearly.

It turns out that although the world has changed, there are still four Jia Shi Wang Xue families, Jia Min is still married to Lin Ruhai, and those characters in the previous life have also been born.

Many things are the same, but many things have changed.

In the previous life, the Xue family relied on those three families. Although they were rich, their status was the lowest. For the family's business, his father had to try his best to win over the other three families for protection, and the relationship between the Lin family and the Jia family was also very poor. close.

But in this life, because Emperor Tianyou started to focus on business, the status of merchants has become higher and higher. The Xue family no longer relies on others, and because the other three families are lords' families, they are conservative and stubborn, and they do not agree with Xue's father's temper. Xue's family is far away from those families.

Besides, Lin Ruhai from the Lin family is a new learner. He is very flexible in the extreme foreign style, and he looks down on the Jia family. Jia Min and Lin Ruhai have a good relationship. up.

Knowing this, Baochai felt relieved.

As long as her father is healthy, no matter how far away from Jia's family is, her Xue family will definitely be more prosperous in this life. Even if it is not prosperous, she will not follow the old path of her previous life and end up with a ruined family.

Reassured, Baochai talked to Mother Xue for a while and got up to say goodbye. When she returned to her room, Que'er was taking a few little maids to pack up her things. There is a rumor in the front yard that the girl will go to school tomorrow, no, everything is almost packed."

Baochai looked at it for a while, and saw that the books, pens and inks had been packed away, and there was also a box of snacks on the side, thinking that he would put some snacks and bring them to school to make up for it when he got up tomorrow.

Thinking of going to school outside like a boy tomorrow, Baochai couldn't help feeling excited, walked around the house a few times, read some books, had dinner and went to bed early in order to recuperate.

On the second day, Baochai got up early, washed up, ate something casually, and walked with Yinger and a little girl with school supplies.

Going out from the corner gate, I saw a big carriage parked outside, with two women waiting beside the carriage, Baochai got into the carriage on a low stool, and the carriage started to drive slowly.

As soon as the car was gone, Baochai felt the difference. The car was running very smoothly, and the inside of the car could hardly feel any bumps. She opened the curtain and took a closer look, but found that the road was extremely smooth, as flat as a It was ground from a piece of stone, but I don't know what it was used to repair it.

Furthermore, she discovered that her own carriage had four wheels, and the wheels looked strange, and they were so stable.
