every spring [comprehensive]

After a while Baoyu came back from the school, came to the old lady's room, woke up in the morning and evening, saw Baochai here, couldn't help but brows with joy, and made a long bow to Baochai.Xue Baochai said: "Okay, brother Bao, get up quickly, how can I let you show me such a big gift, if the old lady or aunt asks with a smile, I don't know how to answer."

Jia Baoyu then straightened up, just smiled and said nothing, thinking that he and Baochai had a tacit agreement.

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Sister Bao still wants to hide it from him, but it seems that she is begging you for something again. Baoyu is now smarter than before, and knows which tree is good to climb high branches."

Jia Baoyu's face was flushed by her teasing. When Baochai saw Daiyu and Baoyu as childhood sweethearts, they had a very deep relationship, and any petty thoughts could be guessed and exposed by the other party, which is also an enviable thing.

For a while, there was a meal in Jiamu's room, and Mrs. Liuxue and Baochai returned after eating here. Jiamu and Mrs. Wang wanted Baochai to live in Hengwu Courtyard for a few days, but Baochai had no intention of going to the Grand View Garden again. Living, so I can only decline.Mrs. Xue instead invited Daiyu and a few girls to live in their house in a few days, and there were already many courtyards in Xue's house for them.

Tanchun whispered to her: "It's fine if you don't go to the garden. I don't know why a decree from the empress suddenly came out from the palace a few days ago to reduce the number of people in the garden by half. However, most of the maids and women in other places have been cut off, so looking around now, I can’t find a single person in the garden for a long time. You also moved away, Xiangyun also went home, and the second sister went home again. I don’t live in the garden, it’s very deserted there now.”

Xue Baochai patted Tanchun on the shoulder and said: "There is always a banquet in the world. When a certain time comes, everyone has their own affairs, but there is no need to be too sad. This separation is for the next reunion, so we have to cherish the time in front of us." That's all."

The Jia family was also a little surprised. The Sun family had set a date for their marriage, and they were so anxious that they didn't have time to carefully prepare a decent dowry. They would go to welcome the Spring Festival within a month.

However, due to Yingchun's personality, she couldn't please the old lady in the world, and she didn't care about her mother-in-law. Yingchun's dowry cost Jia family officials didn't plan to spend a lot of money, so a hasty marriage saved a lot of trouble. Son.

It's just that Tanchun, who followed Li Wan to organize her sister's marriage, was a little chilled. She usually looked at the big family outside, but when the daughter of the daughter got married, it was so poor. Although the daily expenses were a little tight, but in the official What they have is some real money. The real property and good things are private property in the hands of individuals. Even if the things in someone's hands are only exposed, it is enough for Yingchun Fengfeng to organize a wedding.

But even the old lady didn't say to give Yingchun's wedding subsidy one or two, so the others didn't do anything.

After a few days, Yingchun went back to her mother's house to visit relatives. The first time she came back from her in-law's house, she burst into tears, and she was full of bitterness. There is no due respect, just like treating those maids and servants.People in the family did not regard her as a housekeeper.He also said that Jia She owed him 5000 taels of silver, and asked him several times to ask for it, and then married Yingchun to pay off the debt.

Although Yingchun was gentle and silent, even a little cowardly, but whether she was exploited by the nanny or Mrs. Xing or the servant girl did something that made her lose face, she had never seen her cry, but this time it was like tears.

This kind of thing, now that she is married, Mrs. Wang can't take care of it, she just cried with her for a while, saying that maybe this is her fate!Mrs. Wang also asked everyone not to tell the old lady, so that the old lady would not be bothered by hearing it when she was old.

Yingchun's son-in-law, Sun Shaozu, has a commanding position and a wealthy family. When he married a while ago, he was waiting for a promotion in the Ministry of War. Pan's subordinates work as commissioned forwards.

Sun Shaozu was born with a strong physique, and his proficiency in bow and horse is very suitable for such a military position. After Xue Pan gave a unified training to all the people who had just been promoted, he let them go to their own positions.

Sun Shaozu met Xue Pan on the day of his marriage, and knew that this was a relative of the newly married mother-in-law's family. Although he knew that there were many high-ranking relatives in their family, he did not expect to have his own immediate boss.

Although Sun Shaozu is fierce and domineering at home, he is also a person who is good at drilling and dealing with changes outside.It's just that he didn't retreat but advanced: "My lord, please go slowly!"

Xue Pan paused, without raising his head: "What else do you need? Is it because I didn't explain clearly what I just did?"

Sun Shaozi hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Of course the subordinates at work are aware of it, it's just that the younger brother sees the elder brother here, so he has to say hello no matter what, and say hello to my aunt and the old man!"

Only then did Xue Pan look at him, feeling a little familiar.It took a long time to slap my head and remember: "It's you, brother-in-law!"

Sun Shaozu smiled and said: "My lord is still a nobleman who forgets things too much. He only attended the wedding of my younger brother and cousin Ling a month ago. Today, I finally remembered me."

Xue Pan laughed and said: "Come on, since you are one of your own, don't be so polite. Just call me your lord in the government office, and call me your elder brother in private. Our family has also disturbed many times in Jia's mansion. Several people in Jia's mansion This younger sister is just like my own younger sister, since they are relatives by marriage, it is inevitable that I will support you well in the future."

Sun Shaozu's eyes lit up, and he quickly prostrated himself on the ground: "The younger brother's future depends entirely on the elder brother."

Xue Pan put his hands behind his back, and said with authority: "It's not difficult for me to take care of you, and for the sake of my second sister, I can't leave you alone. I just heard that my second sister has a soft personality. Some, you don't want to bully her."

Sun Shaozu hurriedly swore and swore: "The world can learn from each other. With the support of my elder brother, I will never dare to bully her. When I go back, I will ask my wife to prepare a generous gift and go to the elder brother's mansion to pay respects to Lao Gaoming."

Xue Pan smiled slightly: "No hurry, no hurry." When he usually listened to Madam Xue chatting with his aunt, he listened to it, and it seemed that the second sister of the Jia family married a dissatisfied man and lived in the mansion all day long. After being bullied and tortured, who knew that by such a coincidence, Sun Shaozu would bump into his hands.

Although several generations of Sun Shaozu's family have taken over the post, but because of poor management, he was still such a small person until his death. He was better at drilling than his grandfather's family, so he had the opportunity to wait for this time Transferred, I didn't expect that on the first day of joining the job, he saw that the direct superior who was several levels higher than him was actually related by marriage. From then on, Xue Pan could not be surpassed by him, not to mention his uncle and cousin, even his own eldest brother. up.

Sun Shaozu was happy outside, went to the flower building to drink, and came back with a rosy face. When he entered the door, he saw a maid in his room scolding Jia Yingchun. Let her go, the more he scolded, the more fierce he became.

Yingchun's dowry maid, Xiuju, couldn't stand it anymore, "Our girl is also the grandma of this mansion, what are you? You dare to say that grandma is not good, and your mansion is too shameful, it's getting worse. The dignity of master and servant is gone!"

Seeing that Xiuju stood up for her, Yingchun pulled Xiuju over and said, "Why do you say these things, and you will attract more opposition from them later on, and we will have no more peaceful days."

The arrogant maid became afraid when she saw Yingchun, and she became more confident: "When our master comes back, I will tell him that grandma is too incompetent, even such a small matter as I have told you. It can't be done well, I heard that you are still some kind of daughter in the mansion, how can you be such a stupid and incompetent person among the daughters, let alone, we were also fooled, marry a village girl and a wild woman and come back!"

If it wasn't for Yingchun's persistent tugging, Xiuju would have scratched her on the face, but Yingchun knew that if things got serious, it would be their master and servant who would suffer the most in the end.

These people were only focused on making noise inside, but they didn't notice that all the people watching outside ran away, and there was no sound at all. When they raised their heads suddenly, Sun Shaozu was standing at the door, and he had been listening for a long time.

Sun Shaozu's servant girl, Jiao Xing, saw that it was him, not only was she not afraid, but she was very proud. No one in the whole house knew that the uncle didn't want to see the new grandma, and there were no other masters here, so naturally, they all went with his likes and dislikes. Being humble and welcoming the spring, now her words of defense have been heard by Sun Shaozu.According to past practice, not only will she not be punished, but she will be rewarded.

When Yingchun saw Sun Shaozu standing at the door, her face turned pale with fright.She was terrified of this muscular newlywed husband, and her host Xiuju was also very afraid of him these days. The master and servant held hands and looked for comfort and shelter from each other, but they didn't know if the man would explode.

Who would have thought that Sun Shaozu would really change his face immediately, and kicked Jiao Xing viciously at Jiao Xing who was walking towards him enchantingly and called "Master", kicking her in the stomach, and even kicked her out!With a cry of "Ah!", Jiao Xing bumped her back against the corner of the low cabinet and stopped moving after a mouthful of blood.This is such a big event of beating, scolding and murder in other people's houses, but it is commonplace here.

Seeing that he didn't say a word, Yingchun's master and servant started to fight, and he was obviously very angry. Even the girl who was very beloved on weekdays was murdered. Wouldn't it be even worse when they came to them, and they were all trembling with fear.Yingchun felt even more regretful, at the beginning she would rather die than leave the Grand View Garden, and never marry for the rest of her life, so that she could come to this evil wolf and be frightened.I don't know where he is angry again, so he went home and had an attack.

Yingchun thought that they would be the next one to suffer, and regretted why she asked Xiuju to marry her as a dowry. At this time, another good girl was involved, and she was the only one who would accompany the Sun family whether she lived or died. On the contrary, Yingchun, whose fate is at stake, is an unprecedented time of courage and sobriety in one's life.Yingchun just said: "If you want to kill or cut, you just come at me, don't touch a finger of my girl."

Xiuju never expected that Yingchun, who usually doesn't move when poked with a needle, would say this for her, and was about to stand in front of her master.

Who knew that Sun Shaozu would come forward slowly, helped Yingchun up and said: "Madam surprised you, next time there will be a maid like Jiao Xing who doesn't distinguish between high and low, you can just kill her directly, or wait for me to come back. Let me do it for you. You just pamper yourself and be your honorable grandma of the Sun family, and as a husband, I will not let these little things bother you."

Yingchun didn't feel flattered in her heart, she just thought that this person was probably crazy, otherwise how could she say such a sentence?Or there must be a reason for the abnormality.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before Sun Shaozu revealed his true identity and explained the reason: "I went to report to Xinyamen today, and the new boss turned out to be your natal cousin Xue Canling. , come with me to make a good confession to the old lady of the Xue family and cousin Xue, with such a superior, I will have hope in the infantry yamen in the future!"

Knowing that there was such a reason, Yingchun quietly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that today's little life was saved, and Sun Shaozu didn't dare to do anything to her today, so as not to be seen by others tomorrow.

When Xue Pan went home, he also told about Yingchun's son-in-law being assigned to him, saying that he might bring Yingchun to visit in the next few days, but Mrs. Xue was looking forward to it, hoping that Yingchun would come home as soon as possible to see how she was doing.Sure enough, she was not disappointed, and they came over the next day after leaving the yamen. Sun Shaozu was received by Xue Pan and the housekeeper outside, and Mrs. Xue and Song took Yingchun to the inner courtyard room.

Speaking of the post-marriage affairs, Yingchun couldn't help crying again.

Mrs. Xue said: "I didn't know which yamen your son-in-law is from before, so we couldn't do things well. Now that we know that he is under your elder brother's service, what do you have to be afraid of? From now on, you should not be afraid of him, but you should be afraid of him." He is right to be afraid of you!"

After crying to Mrs. Xue for a while, Yingchun said gratefully: "If it wasn't for Brother Xue's relationship, I really don't know how I would live in that house."

Talking about asking Xiuju to take care of the things brought over from the Sun's residence, he said: "Even if he has a thousand bad things, he doesn't dare to be careless in dealing with Shangguan. The supplements, ginseng and other things I brought this time , are the best in the family treasury. I know that my aunt does not lack these, so I have to accept them, and if he can spread the money, let's take it as a relief for me."

Mrs. Xue saw that there was an unsatisfactory meaning in her words, and she persuaded her a little: "Newlyweds always have bumps and bumps, and the two have different personalities. It will take a few years to get in the same place. "

Yingchun said: "Auntie doesn't know, he has a cruel and eccentric personality, and he won't allow me to get close to him." He doesn't treat women as human beings at all, even if she is the wife of a bright matchmaker, she doesn't get any respect.

Mrs. Xue also heard about Yingchun's situation from Jia's mansion, and said: "Since he sees that Pan'er wants something from you, he must be respectful to you. Since his mansion is in chaos, you should start to clean it up." Only by standing up to the prestige of the mistress can the people below not look down upon her."

What Mrs. Xue said were all good things for her sake, how could Yingchun not know why?It's just that I'm used to being blindly weak before, and it will take some time to really stand up.But thinking of those dark days before, when anyone in the house could come and bully her, I just had to do it.

Xiuju said from the side: "Girl, just act like a grandma. If anyone refuses to accept and quarrel, it's still me. Grandma doesn't need to say a word. We have to listen to my aunt. If you can't stand up this time, next time There is no chance."

Mrs. Xue once again praised the girl Xiuju, saying that it was rare for Yingchun to have such a caring person by her side, and she asked Yingchun to treat her well.

When they were about to leave, Mrs. Xue told her that if she was bored at home, or if she couldn't survive being bullied, she could send a message to the Xue family, and Mrs. Xue would send someone to pick her up for a few days.Thank you very much for welcoming the spring.

After Yingchun left, another official media came to propose marriage to Xue Pan. Mrs. Xue had been impatient with watching and didn't plan to watch anymore, but this time the official media said that they were old friends.

So Mrs. Xue listened to the face for a while, and then discussed with the Song family and Baochai in the evening.

Mrs. Xue repeated what the matchmaker said about the family background of the Xia family, as well as the appearance and character of the young lady, "...I think the two families can be regarded as family friends, and this Xia family is also the family of the imperial merchants. Pan'er has become an official, but you don't have to forget your roots, and you are considered to be in the same family, so I ask you to help me with the details."

Baochai heard it: "Xia Jingui from the Osmanthus Xia family?"

Mrs. Xue said happily: "You knew the lady's name before I even said it. Could it be that you knew her before?"

Baochai thought to herself, if this well-known troublemaker in the Red Chamber really married her and became her sister-in-law, everyone would have a hard time living.So he said: "I'm in the same imperial business circle, I've heard about it, I'm afraid it's not a good match for my brother."

That's enough for Xia Jingui's evaluation. Xue Baochai didn't comment too much, but said to Mrs. Xue: "Mother said she would choose a spouse for my brother, why don't you ask him what conditions he wants? Or let him choose by himself, when the time comes If it's not what you want, wouldn't it be mother's fault."

Song said with a smile at this time: "Bao girl, this is what children say. Marriage matters, parents' orders, and matchmaker's words, have always been blind marriages. If you can't get along day and night, no one can see what kind of temperament someone will have in the future. , I think the girls in the garden in the mansion over there are all good, but I don't know if our family can climb high."

Mrs. Song was talking about the people in the Grand View Garden, she had no intention of speaking, but after she reminded her, Mrs. Xue had some thoughts.

But he said that in Jia's mansion, Jia She got the news from nowhere, that there was a rumor in the palace that an imperial doctor from the imperial hospital and two official officials went to see a doctor, presumably it must be some palace lady's illness, and asked Jia Lian to go to the imperial hospital to inquire about it. Inquire to see if it is a matter of Jia Yuanchun's palace. Since Yuanchun's right to see her family members every month was revoked last time, it has not been restored. As a result, Jia's mansion doesn't know what happened to her in there.

Jia Lian agreed, but he didn't have time to go out here.On the other side, the housekeeper of Jia's mansion has already brought in two palace ministers, and Jia Lian hastily followed to meet him, while sending someone in to deliver a message, and together they went to see Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty.Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty greeted them outside the second gate, and please serve tea in the inner room.Those two said: "The Xiande concubine is not in good health. Yesterday, according to the decree, four relatives were summoned inside to inquire. They are allowed to bring one girl with them, and the rest are not allowed. The relatives can pay their respects outside the palace gate. Waiting for the will. Go in at the time of Chensi tomorrow, and leave at the time of Shenyou."

After sending the two eunuchs away, Jia Zheng hurried inside to report to Mother Jia, wanting to ask for advice.

Jia Mu was pondering, "Four family members, of course I and my two wives, and one..." Jia Mu was about to say that Wang Xifeng, she has success in everything, so she has someone to take care of her.

At this time, the person Jia Lian asked to go to the imperial hospital to inquire about also came back, but he didn't find out a word, and the few old imperial doctors sitting in the imperial hospital who had friendship with Jia's family all returned home together. .

Jia Mu thought in her heart: how could it be such a coincidence?And the one who is only 50 or [-] years old, did she also retire and return to her hometown? She has experienced many things, and she knows that this may be just an excuse. Not sure where he was, he quickly ordered Jia Lian: "Don't let anyone go to the imperial hospital to inquire about the news of the palace. Although we know that we are worried about the empress, we are also suspected of spying on the palace."

Jia Lian is a smart person, and he was in a cold sweat when he heard it, so he responded quickly.

At this moment, Mrs. Wang said: "Since the Taiyuan Hospital keeps its mouth shut, I have an idea, old ancestor, how about we let Bao girl go for the last place?"

Mrs. Jia turned around in her heart, "You mean?"

Mrs. Wang said: "The above said that the four people who can meet are relatives. Fortunately, Bao girl is also among the relatives, and she is proficient in medical skills. When the time comes, she will give the empress a couple of pulses, which will not violate the above. Order, so that we can know exactly what is going on, and it will also solve the old lady's doubts."

Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Xing all said, "This is the best way!"

Mrs. Wang said: "Since I will enter the palace to see you tomorrow, I will send someone to tell Bao girl." In fact, Mrs. Wang still has her own thoughts. Although Mrs. Xue rejected her last time, Baoyu also gradually I'm old, and I've reached the age to talk about marriage. The old lady mentioned it in front of the master last time.

Mrs. Wang looked left and right, and felt that other people were not as good as Baochai, either in appearance or temperament, or in family wealth, or her own niece. She thought, why not take Baochai into the palace this time, and see a Seeing the empress, if the empress directly issued the decree, how could Mrs. Xue disagree? How brave is their Xue family, and they can't respect the imperial concubine's order!

The Xue family received the news, and Mrs. Xue approached Baochai to talk about it, "The empress of the palace will summon you tomorrow and ask you to enter the palace with the people of Jia's family. What should I do? , I was offered a marriage on the spot, and I was not there, how could you refuse."

Baochai said: "Mother, if you care about it, you will be chaotic. How can you get me married immediately after calling me over? Even if it is the empress's golden words, that is too indecent. Besides, it may not be the empress who is looking for me." , maybe it was my aunt and the others who made it up on their own."

Xue Baochai always felt that since the last meeting in the palace, Jia Yuanchun would not specially ask her to enter the palace, and this time there were relatives of the Jia family, there might be something hidden in it.So he called Zhou Rui's family who came to Xue's mansion to pass on the message, and asked him carefully.After questioning, Baochai realized that there was something wrong, and Baochai said, "It turns out that the mother is too blessed and is not in good health. My sister went back and told my aunt that I will arrive early tomorrow morning."

Zhou Rui's family smiled and said: "That's a good idea. Since the girl has the promise to go, the wife will be happy. Why don't you go back to the mansion with me today and stay overnight, so that we can go on the road together tomorrow, and save the trouble of going back and forth. .”

Xue Baochai said: "It's not a fuss. I'll just get up early tomorrow and go there. If I go today, the maids will have to prepare a lot of things. They also have to bring bedding, makeup boxes and other things, which is cumbersome. I will disturb the mansion." It’s better to live at home for people who are up and down.”

Zhou Rui's family said with a smile: "After all, it's Miss Bao, who's thoughtful, so I'll leave and go back to my wife."

Xue Baochai already guessed roughly from what Zhou Rui's family said.It seems that the Jia family didn't get any news from the Tai Hospital, so they felt a little uneasy.Tomorrow, I want to borrow her to find out.

The last time I saw Jia Yuanchun, she was still ruddy, and she didn't see any inadequacies, let alone short-lived. All go to see you.

This behavior is very thought-provoking, either she is a favorite concubine, and if she is a little bit bad, the higher-ups will show mercy to let her meet everyone in her natal family, or it is a bit like a serious illness, and the family will see her for the last time side meaning.

It's useless to guess too much. When we meet tomorrow, we will naturally know what's going on, because Baochai will go to bed early the next day because he has to get up early the next day.At dawn the next day, Baochai took a sedan chair to meet them in Jia's mansion. In addition to Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng, Jia She and others from the Jia family also came from the word "Wen". Generations, up to the "grass" generation, they all have to go with them.

Jia's mother asked Baochai to sit with her in a sedan chair for eight people, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang each took a small sedan chair for four people.So many people went to kowtow only in the outer palace, and only Jia Mu and their personal maids could enter the inner palace.

Jia Yuanchun was lying on the bed, and he didn't specially wear the court clothes when he saw outsiders, but just wore the daily clothes, but Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others did not dare to neglect, and wanted to bow down to see the ceremony, Yuan Chun ordered someone to stop him, and was given a gift. seat.

After the grandparents, mother and daughter exchanged a few words with each other, Jia Yuanchun was quite surprised to see Xue Baochai coming together: "How come sister Xue is also here?" It was a surprise to see her among the immediate family members.

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I brought Baochai here on purpose. I'm afraid your Majesty doesn't know that your sister is very good at medicine. We heard that your Majesty seems to be in some bad shape. We were worried, so we took her away as well." Call me here, and show it to your empress, so that the old lady will feel at ease."

Jia Yuanchun's face froze, even if he didn't know it at the time, who didn't know later that Concubine Yi had passed through this man's hands, and now she is lying on the bed still alive.But it is undeniable that Xue Baochai's good medical skills, Princess Yi, who was declared by the imperial hospital to have only a few days left, has not passed away after several months.

If Xue Baochai wanted to know Yuan Chun's psychological activities, she would have to cry out for injustice. Then Concubine Yi insisted on changing her life against the sky and living a few more years. She is not a god, what other ways can she do?

Xue Baochai also wanted to finish her task earlier, so she could ask herself to stay outside so that their mother, daughter, grandparents and grandchildren could talk privately, and said, "I don't know what the imperial doctors say about your mother's health. Can you use me?" Give the empress a medical treatment?"

You don't need to look again, you can't rely on Mrs. Wang's wishful thinking, in case Yuan Chun doesn't want her health condition to be rumored, so it's better to ask her.

Yuan Chun said, "I've been feeling uncomfortable for a while. Before, I was just sluggish and moved, and gradually became mentally weak. The imperial doctor said it's okay, and I'll take care of it for a while. I didn't expect the emperor to give me another decree to let the Jia family go to the hospital. Come down and pay my respects, I feel uneasy after working so hard for the whole house."

Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang and others hurriedly stood up and said, "It's an honor to come here to pay my respects to your mother, so why not talk about labor."

Jia Yuanchun stretched out his hand and asked Baochai to take his pulse. Just as Baochai was about to speak, the maid came to report, and the people in the empress's palace came to pass the message.

Jia Yuanchun hurriedly said: "Please! If you speak, let the maid help you up and get down to the ground."

Seeing this, Mrs. Jia Muwang and others stood up quickly.

An elderly nanny came in and told Concubine Jia not to be too polite, just lie on the bed, and just pass on a few words from the Queen's Empress, one is to give a banquet to the relatives of Jia's family, and the female relatives will be in Fengzao Palace He accompanied Concubine Xiande to have a meal together, and the men and women held a separate banquet in the outer palace.

Jia Yuanchun thanked Jia Mu and others for their kindness.The old mother turned to Xue Baochai again and said, "Miss Xue."

Baochai blessed her body and said, "Nurse Sun, long time no see. How are you, old man?"

At this time, Mother Jia and others knew that the nanny's surname was Sun, but they didn't know how Baochai knew it, and they seemed to be very familiar with each other.

Grandma Sun said: "Miss Xue left in a hurry last time, and I didn't have time to bring the two snacks you liked. This time, the old slave ordered the imperial dining room to make more and take them away with Miss Xue."

After Xue Baochai heard this, she thanked her again, and Nanny Sun said: "The dim sum is made fresh, maybe it has been sent to Kunning Palace by now, Miss Xue will come and get it with me."

Baochai said: "When a commoner girl enters the palace, she should go to see the Empress Empress out of reason and reason, but she has not been summoned, so she dare not be abrupt. Since the mammy is here, I will follow you to pay homage to the Empress Empress."

So Grandma Sun brought Xue Baochai out and let Concubine Xiande's relatives go to the banquet on their own. They don't have to wait for Miss Xue, they will naturally send them back before they leave the palace.

Seeing that Xue Baochai left with the Queen's people without changing his expression, Mrs. Jia Muwang and others looked at each other in blank dismay.

On the contrary, Jia Yuanchun's face was calm, and he explained slightly: "Miss Xue once stayed with the queen's son for a while, so she is naturally familiar with this palace, and we have also met in the palace, grandmother, mother, don't worry. "

No matter how noble the empress is in front of the world, she is a partial house compared to the empress. Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang are always on Yuanchun's side in their hearts. Hearing that Xue Baochai is involved with the empress, they can't help but They all kept their eyes open, and regretted bringing Baochai in this time.

On the contrary, Mrs. Xing was very happy. She had long thought that Baochai was outstanding, but she never thought that she would be able to leave Yuanchun, a tall branch inlaid with gold, and have a relationship with the queen. Fan.

When Jia Mu and the others left the palace, they saw Baochai waiting aside, and the little girl behind her was still holding a few boxes of snacks, obviously the queen ordered Baochai to bring them specially.

Mother Jia warmly held her hand and said, "Have you paid homage to the Empress? We are lucky girls. Let's get on the bus with me!"

So Baochai sat in the same car as when he came here, and dropped a bomb on the old lady Jia, so that she didn't have the heart to find out why Baochai entered the palace before.

Xue Baochai said: "I haven't congratulated the old lady yet. I checked the pulse of the imperial concubine and found that she has a slippery pulse. It has been at least two months."

Hearing this, Mother Jia was already in a daze, holding Baochai's hand, subconsciously exerting force: "Is this true?"

Xue Baochai said: "It's about the prince and grandson, how dare I lie."

After hearing this letter, Mother Jia naturally didn't care about Baochai's affairs anymore, but wondered if the Jia family was so lucky to have a prince?

She also wondered why the imperial physicians didn't tell Yuan Chun, or why Yuan Chun didn't tell them on purpose, she couldn't understand the secret.Since their superiors did not give any confirmation, they could not say anything about it. They only planned to quietly tell Mrs. Wang, Jia Zhengfeng and other cronies after returning home.

Not to mention how everyone who came back from the family visit of Jia's mansion had their own thoughts or were secretly happy.Mrs. Xue came back to understand that Jia Mu wanted to take the girls from the garden to live with them for a while. Jia Mu had already agreed to this. A place, especially the home of relatives who know everything, and after Jia Zheng came back, Jia Baoyu re-entered the family school. If he didn't remember the original sisters, he might be able to concentrate on reading more.So with a big wave of Jia's mother, Daiyu, Tanchun, Xichun, and Xing Xiuyan all got into the carriage that Xue's family came to pick them up.

Perhaps Li Wen and Li Yi also left, Li Wan felt that it was too quiet and unaccustomed, so only the two sisters did not come.

Mrs. Wang has also heard from Jia's mother that Yuan Chun is pregnant with a dragon descendant, and she is naturally overjoyed. The few people in Jia's mansion who know the news are secretly happy.

Mrs. Wang saw that Jiamu was in a good mood these days, so she downplayed the matter of driving Qingwen away. After all, Qingwen was allocated to Baoyu by Jiamu's girl, and she should inform the old lady whether she was leaving or staying. One sound.

Jia's mother said: "I remember that girl Qingwen is better than others in terms of appearance, quickness of speech and work, and needlework. Otherwise, I wouldn't give it to Baoyu specially. In the future, she will still be such a girl who can serve her well." Hold him."

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "I see that girl is lazy and mischievous now, and she often gets sick. She gets sick for more than half a month. At that time, I can't let her serve others, so I asked her to move out first. A doctor was called to see her." Look, who knew it was my daughter's tuberculosis."

Jia's mother was taken aback: "Since her daughter has tuberculosis, it's not easy. I thought she would be someone who could be kept by Baoyu's side, but I didn't expect to be so unlucky."

Mrs. Wang said: "That's right. It's a pity that people's hearts are changeable. Who knew that she was a good person before, but then she started to be mischievous. She was also unlucky. After she went out, her brother and sister-in-law couldn't take care of her. Let her be kind. Lin Zhixiao’s family picked it up and bought a pot of soup from the doctor all day long. I have already told Lin Zhixiao’s family: If the disease is not good, it’s fine. Be a little girl with her, don't come in again."

Jia Mu nodded and said, "This is exactly the ceremony for everyone to be tolerant."

The girls left the Grand View Garden, and in order not to bother everyone, they only brought two personal maids with them to Xue's house instead of their nurses.Without the restraint of those old women, even Xichun became much more cheerful.

The servants of Xue's mansion are only servants, they are not like Jia's mansion, they are all old and mature characters, who are used to seeing the high and stepping down, and the girls will treat them equally when they come, and respect them as distinguished guests. Anything, just mention it to the maids, and when the word reaches Baochai or the housekeeper, the things will be delivered immediately.

Therefore, the atmosphere of living in Xue's house is unprecedentedly free and relaxed. Mrs. Xue even asked someone to bring Yingchun over here. When the sisters meet here, they cherish the rare time together.

What kind of person Jia Yingchun married, even if Mrs. Wang tried her best to whitewash the peace when she was in Jia's house, but after seeing Yingchun in person, she knew how she was doing.

Tanchun said distressedly: "Second sister, you have lost a lot of weight."

Although Yingchun has lost weight, her spirit is much better than the last time we met, and said: "With my aunt here, and brother Xue as Shangguan, he doesn't dare to do anything to me. Since he said that my father owed his family money, I Just use the monthly bill and the dividends from Jifang Building to pay him back slowly, and there will be a day when the repayment is over." Although Yingchun is gentle and silent, she is also a person with self-respect, and nothing else is left, saying that she is using it to pay off the debt , she refused to accept it, and saw what was left between her and the Sun Mansion after paying off the debt.

Daiyu said: "It's not what I said. After going through the incident, the second sister stood up on her own. Don't you think she is much stronger now than before?"

Yingchun smiled bitterly and said, "I hope you don't experience this kind of growth."
