Palace Flower as Employment [Red Mansion]

The crab banquet in the Grand View Garden was held under such circumstances, and it was still in the name of Shi Xiangyun, and it was still paid for by Xue Baochai.

Seeing Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai's affectionate appearance, Jia Qi smiled and pulled Lin Daiyu to the side.

In the corner, Xue Baoqin in a stone blue dress was talking to Xichun, one was full of melancholy and lost three points of appearance for no reason, and the other was swollen, as if he had been angered.

Jia Qi and Lin Daiyu looked at each other and knew immediately.

Xue Baoqin was sad that she was divorced, and also worried that she would not be able to marry a good family in the future.As for Xichun, it is because she is still in her father's filial piety, but wants to be happy with Jia's mother, so she is full of reluctance.

If it were someone else, when they saw Lin Daiyu, they would think of Mrs. Jia Shexing's family's careful care of Lin Daiyu, and then they would become jealous. Unfortunately, Chun knew very well that she had nothing to do with Jia She, and she took her in because of her own interests. The face of her deceased parents has been lost, but Lin Daiyu is their daughter-in-law who is about to enter the house and one of her own.Therefore, Xichun greeted Jia Qi and Lin Daiyu very politely, and called Brother Qi and Sister Lin.

Seeing Xichun in the sapphire blue mourning dress, Jia Qi just wanted to sigh.Jia Jing had just passed away a few days ago, so Xichun should be wearing filial piety clothes and a filial bun!But looking at Xichun's silver-studded and ruby-studded jewellery, her dress, and Youshi's attire in front of Jia's mother, one can imagine how messed up Jia Zhen is at home!

He doesn't even want to honor his father's filial piety, but he doesn't want to think that his father gave him his title!She messed around and couldn't even take her younger sister to be a filial piety for her father. It shows how much Jia Zhen has gone too far!

Jia Qi can already imagine how General Wei Lie's mansion will suffer a crushing defeat in the future.

It's just that they have separated, Jia Qi is also young, and Jia Zhen has been the acting patriarch of the Jia family's General Wei Lie's mansion for many years, and now is a serious patriarch, Jia Qi really came to reprimand Jia Zhen.

After Jia Qi asked Xichun, she said to Xue Baoqin, "I'm very sorry about Miss Qin."

Xue Baoqin shook her head and said: "Don't do Jia Shizhao's business, I did not act properly, which caused all this..."

Jia Qi turned her head and looked at Xue Baochai, who was standing on the steps behind Mrs. Jia Muwang with a dignified and respectful face, and then said to Xue Baoqin: "Miss Qin, forgive me. When this kind of thing happens, my daughter's family always asks for help." You are at a disadvantage, that cousin of yours treats you..." Jia Qi paused, seeing that tears were welling up in Xue Baoqin's eyes, but he didn't dare to let them fall, Jia Qi knew that Xue Baoqin had listened.

Jia Qi sped up her speech: "Miss Qin, the longer this kind of thing is delayed, the more unfavorable it will be for you. If you want to eliminate this influence, the best way is to make another marriage as soon as possible."

Xue Baoqin smiled wryly and said: "It's not easy. How can a good person like me? And if I agree to someone casually, I'm afraid it will attract more gossip..."

Jia Qi said: "There is now a candidate. I don't know if Miss Qin is willing to consider it."

"Who?" Xue Baoqin's voice rose slightly, Jia Qi, Lin Daiyu and Xichun could all hear it, and she was moved.

"Brother Xue's savior, Liu Xianglian."

"It's him?"

Jia Qi said: "Don't think he is down and out now, he is the descendant of Liu Biao, the Duke of Li, but, like Jia Baoyu, he is also the second son of the second son. Li Guogong's mansion was very unhappy, cut off his daily supply, but he was young and ignorant when he was born, and he refused to be soft and would rather play tricks to make a living, which provoked Li Guogong's mansion to release words Come on, don't let him in. After suffering so much outside, he can be regarded as turning around. Why do you think he is so anxious to marry a wife? It's because he knows that as long as he can marry a wife As a wife, he can go back to the government of Liguo. No matter how bad it is, he can rely on the shadow of the government of Liguo to earn his future. Of course, this is just my suggestion. What should I do? , It's all up to Miss Qin to decide."

When Jia Qi said this, Xue Baoqin was moved.

When Xue Pan helped Liu Xianglian set up the family business, she also paid attention to it, but at that time, Xue Baochai didn't like Liu Xianglian very much, and she lived with Xue Baochai again, so it was not easy to ask casually.

However, she still knew what she should know. For example, Liu Xianglian was originally a child of everyone, so she was an equal friend with Jia Baoyu and others, and she was by no means comparable to that kind of actor.This point, these days in the Grand View Garden, watching Jia Baoyu feel sad for Liu Xianglian's disappearance, and listening to Jia Baoyu's words, she naturally knows.

Therefore, Liu Xianglian looks bad now, but in fact it will be hard to say in the future.

Xue Baoqin hesitated and said: "But, this Liu Erlang's whereabouts are unknown now."

"Where is the whereabouts unknown? On the one hand, I know that after such a thing happened, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to marry a good wife, and there is no hope of returning to Li Guogong's mansion; on the other hand, I know that the third sister You is the big brother Zhen over there. He was afraid of his wife here, and he was afraid that he would not be able to offend Big Brother Zhen if he left the protection of the Liguo Mansion, so he hid. If you want to find him, go to this place."

After speaking, Jia Qi mentioned a place.

Xue Baoqin firmly remembered that after the banquet was over, she went to her elder brother Xue Bian and asked him to help her. Sure enough, she soon got engaged to Liu Xianglian. This is another story.

Jia Qi and Lin Daiyu deliberately went to the side to talk to Xichun and Xue Baoqin, not only Jia Baoyu stared at Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai also looked at this side from the corner of his eye from time to time.

After Xue Baoqin was divorced, she has been depressed, Xue Baochai has always known.Now, seeing that although Xue Baoqin still had a somewhat melancholy look on her face, but her expression was much more relaxed, Xue Baochai was not curious.

She took a moment to walk over, and said: "I just saw you talking happily, maybe I know a thing or two?"

Jia Qi said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, but Miss Qin asked me, what's the matter with the construction work in our back garden these days."

"Oh? What is it for? I have been curious for a long time."

Jia Qi said: "It's not a big deal, I just plan to build a greenhouse at home."

"Flower room?"

"Yes."

"But I heard that a lot of boxes were shipped down here, and I also heard that the inside of the boxes is full of glass?"

Jia Qi said: "That's right, this flower house is a greenhouse covered with glass."

Xue Baochai, Xue Baoqin and sisters were startled.

Xue Baochai couldn't help but said: "Brother Qi, although people like us are rich, we can't be too extravagant. This glass greenhouse costs a lot!"

Jia Qi said: "What does it matter? For others, glass is a precious thing, but for me, what is the difference with a piece of window screen? A greenhouse allows mother to have a place to relax in winter, It also means something."

"But, Chen Yushi lives in front of us, if he impeaches..."

"I spend my own money, and I have never been corrupt or bribed. What do I have to do with them? Besides, Chen Yushi is not that kind of person. Don't worry."

Xue Baochai could only look at Lin Daiyu: "Sister Lin, why don't you persuade me? Brother Qi can still listen to what you say."

Lin Daiyu was talking to Xichun, seeing this, she couldn't help but say, "I never talk too much about Brother Qi. Besides, it's because Brother Qi likes to toss about these things, so the Zhuangzi below recruits so many people." People, there are so many refugees who can find work in our Zhuangzi shop. If you don’t do this, those refugees can’t find work, and they will inevitably cause trouble when they are hungry. Impeached and put together with this refugee. Which is more important?"

Xue Baochai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "I don't know, it's actually related to refugees."

Lin Daiyu said: "Everyone wants face. If possible, who is willing to enter the workshop to do this kind of craftsman's work? Ordinary tenants and farmers would rather work day after day than enter the workshop. Workshops rarely stay for a long time. However, some crafts need to be honed day after day, and they cannot be accomplished overnight. In the end, it is not the refugees who have nothing to do that are willing to stay for a long time. In the workshop?"

After hearing this, Xichun and Xue Baoqin quickly said yes.

The Great Wei inherited the previous dynasty, and the status of craftsmen was extremely low, and their income was low, and they were [-]% more corvee than others. Therefore, many people were ashamed to be craftsmen.

Xue Baochai said, "I'm afraid Brother Qi will be very difficult in the future."

Jia Qi said: "If I don't do this, won't it be difficult? Just because of my marriage with Sister Lin, I don't know how many people don't like me. If I don't behave well, I just hide under the wings of my parents Underneath, people will only be regarded as a soft persimmon that can be squeezed at any time. But if I behave well, some people will look down on me. Not being envied by others is a mediocrity. A mediocrity is not worthy of Sister Lin."

Lin Daiyu couldn't help giving Jia Qi a slap in the waist, and Jia Qi quickly confessed.

Seeing Jia Qi and Lin Daiyu so harmonious, Xue Baochai couldn't tell what it was like.

It is true that Jia Baoyu has always been very kind to her, especially now that the golden and jade marriage has been broken, probably because of guilt, Jia Baoyu treats her better.But what's the use?After all, Jia Baoyu is not Xue Baochai's lover, let alone Xue Baochai, who is about to be 17 years old but has no husband's family. Seeing this scene again, how can I not feel sad.

Xue Baochai couldn't help but said: "Looking at the appearances of Sister Lin and Brother Qi, it looks a bit like Baoyu and Sister Yun."

"They're all childhood sweethearts." Jia Qi laughed, "The difference is that Sister Yun is always as strong as Baoyu, but Sister Lin is never as strong as me. Sister Lin only helps me, at most she's being teased, or It's because you're shy, and then just do it for me just like before."

This is a little game between the two of them, and it is also a little fun between unmarried couples.

Lin Daiyu also said: "Brother Qi always gives way to me."

Seeing Jia Qi and Lin Daiyu like this, Xue Baochai felt more and more uncomfortable.If she had read the forums of later generations, she would know that she was|tortured|by a dog. She suffered [-] points of damage, was critically hit, and was stuffed with dog food.

Not to mention how heartbroken Xue Baochai was after the crab feast on the first day, and how he made a fuss all night after returning to Hengwu Garden, until he ate Lengxiang pills before falling asleep in the early hours of the morning.

Let's talk about Xue Baoqin. After she got Jia Qi's words, she immediately tried to pass the message to her brother Xue Biao.Under the influence of Aunt Xue, Xue Biao originally thought that Liu Xianglian was just a playboy, but he didn't expect that there was such a story behind it.

As if Xue Biao had found a treasure, he immediately brought Xue Pan to the door.

When Xue Pan heard that Liu Xianglian had been found, he jumped three feet high and led people to follow Xue Biao to the remote Taoist temple. Xianglian and Xue Pan pounced on her, crying while hugging her.

If it was Liu Xianglian before, he would have kicked Xue Pan out a long time ago. Now that he saw Xue Pan in this state, he walked with Xue Pan, and he already knew that Xue Pan was actually a very simple person. Looking for himself, and the Xue brothers are his only serious guests these days. Although they still have that look on their faces, their hearts have already softened.

"Good brother, why did you become a monk?"

"I said, Brother Xue, can you let me go first? This is..."

"Oh, this is my cousin, with a single name of one character."

"Second Brother Xue."

"I met Brother Liu."

"Brother, let's go home, what's so good about this corner of the mountain?"

Liu Xianglian sighed and said, "Now, what face do I have to go back?"

Xue Biao hurriedly said: "Second brother Liu is too careful. If others don't know, we will not know? Second brother Liu was just tricked by that third sister You, and he was in the way of big brother Zhen over there. I chose to find a place of peace here. In fact, as long as anyone who walks a little closer to that side knows, the Eryou is nothing at all. Although in name, sister-in-law Zhen's natal sisters, everyone knows that they were originally Sister-in-law Zhen’s natal stepmother brought a bottle of oil when she remarried, and she was born with a temperament of disliking the poor and loving the rich. Even the eldest brother Zhen didn’t take them seriously, so why should the second brother Liu do so.”

When Liu Xianglian heard that there was something in the words, she naturally had a glimmer of hope: "Second brother Xue said, is it true?"

"Where is it true? When Big Brother Zhen got along with these two You, he never avoided people. Big Brother Zhen often hugged Ronger and drank in the same room with Rong'er. If those friends of Big Brother Zhen were at this time Go to Brother Zhen, there are some Eryou who are ordered to serve these people. It is said that it is for this matter that Brother Zhen's sister went to Master She's house."

Xue Pan also came to his senses, and quickly followed his instructions, saying: "No. That Eryou is not a good thing, let's just say that sister You Erjie, her father once arranged a marriage for her when she was there, and the other party It is Huangliang Zhuangtou. Although she is not as rich as the Jia family, her food, drink and clothes are still indispensable. But she has her eyes on the wealth of the Jia family. She would rather be entertained by Brother Zhen as a fan than marry. Such a woman has What's so good? And her sister, that Third Sister You is not a good thing either, she never knew how to be polite when asking Brother Zhen for clothes or jewelry. The gemstones on the jewelry were slightly worse, so she smashed and scolded. Later, she got tired of playing with herself and had enough money, so she didn't want to mess around like this, so she pretended to be a chaste and strong woman, and compared herself to gold and jade. Ordinary people! Pooh! Don't waste the word gold and jade!"

Xue Biao said: "Yes, Brother Liu. According to etiquette, we shouldn't talk about people's right and wrong behind their backs. Besides, that Eryou is no matter how good he is, she is also sister-in-law Zhen's natal sister. But we never expected that that Third Sister You actually set her sights on Second Brother Liu. It’s all my brother’s fault that he was not in Beijing a while ago, and that Second Brother Liu suffered so much.”

"It's none of your business. It's my behavior that's out of place."

Xue Pan said, "Second brother Liu, let's go back."

Liu Xianglian said: "Now, how can I have the face to go back?"

Xue Pan immediately pointed to Xue Biao and said, "Second Brother Liu just didn't marry a good wife, so he didn't have the face to see his clansmen. He has a younger sister. I guarantee that in terms of appearance, Third Sister You can't compare with a single finger." In fact, he is also young, he is only 11 years old this year, and he is proficient in poetry and prose, but his background is a bit poor, and the rest are not bad. If Brother Liu is willing, brother will protect this matchmaker."

Liu Xianglian was very surprised.

Xue Biao saw Liu Xianglian's thoughts, and quickly said: "I will tell you the truth, Brother Liu. In fact, when my father was alive, he had arranged a marriage for his younger sister. She was the young son of Mei Hanlin's family. At that time, Mei Hanlin's family I haven't gotten up yet. Later Mei Hanlin entered the Hanlin Academy, so we lost contact with our family. Last year, my cousin found out that Mei Hanlin had been released, and wrote to us to tell us. I took my younger sister to Beijing and lived in Jia's house, but I didn't want to be caught by the Mei family because of this, so I divorced three months ago. Brother Liu, if you are worried, you can ask Baoyu how my sister is doing. If you are willing, then, next month, I will take my younger sister to pilgrimage. Brother Liu will also ask an elder to help me. If you are satisfied, let’s talk again. If my younger sister is too young, we don’t have this in our family. Blessing."

Xue Biao talked about this, so what's wrong with Liu Xianglian?

Compared with the marriage with Third Sister You, the Xue family seemed much more sincere.

Liu Xianglian immediately told the master in the Taoist temple, packed her things, took her mandarin duck sword and left.

Liu Xianglian is impatient, he can't enter Li Guogong's mansion now, but he still has an aunt.Mrs. Liu nodded immediately after hearing her nephew's intentions.

Although it is said that the Xue family intends to use Liu Xianglian's name to wash Xue Baoqin's reputation, but it has to be said that Liu Xianglian's own reputation is not much better.Furthermore, from Liu Xianglian's words, it can be seen that the Xue family is still very sincere, and they are very thoughtful in their actions.

For the nephew, Liu Shi is naturally willing.

Of course, after seeing Xue Baoqin, Liu Shi was also very satisfied, thinking that this girl is really nice.Just one point, Liu's dissatisfaction with Xue Baoqin living in Jia's house.

However, it is impossible for Liu to say it directly, that would be to look down on this niece and daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Liu said: "I only have three older brothers, and the second brother is the closest to me. The second brother was most worried about the naughty second brother when he was alive. Now that he decides to get married, I can also explain to the second brother Yes. But, as you have seen, he is the only one in Erlang’s family. I just hope he can finish the marriage sooner. We can talk about consummating the house later. It’s not that I’m impatient, it’s that Erlang doesn’t know how to take care of himself. .”

What else is the Xue family dissatisfied with?

Just before the twelfth lunar month, the engagement was made, the Geng Tie was changed, and the marriage certificate was signed, and Xue Baoqin married as soon as the first month of the next year passed.

Xue Biao felt sorry for his sister, and the Xue family wanted to let the Mei family know that Xue Baoqin's dowry was generous, so even though the Liu family only gave a dowry of 5000 taels, Xue Baoqin's apparent dowry still exceeded 2, including Xue Biao's special request for Jia's pardon. On the head, I bought a Zhuangzi in Baoding with 2 taels of silver, and a shop in Dongshi. In private, Xue Biao also gave [-] taels of money to press the box.

Xue Baoqin moved out of the Grand View Garden after getting married. Although she was young, she was good-looking, and Jia Baoyu liked to be close to her on weekdays. Therefore, after Xue Baoqin moved out of the Grand View Garden, Jia Baoyu was very depressed for two days.

When Xue Baoqin followed the Liu family to the Liguo Mansion and was recognized by the Liguo Mansion, Liu Xianglian even relied on the power of the Liguo Mansion to become the chief secretary of the eighth rank, and even brought Xue Baoqin to become the eighth rank Xue Baochai also withered when he ordered his wife.

She regretted it.

It turned out that the glory and wealth she wanted was once so close to her, and she could reach it with just one hand, but what happened?He actually let his cousin Xue Baoqin, a half-grown child, take advantage of it.

But what else can Xue Baochai do?She even wanted to curry favor with Xue Baoqin and ask Xue Baoqin to introduce her to the female relatives of the Duke of Li's mansion.

When Xue Baochai was busy trying to find a way to establish a relationship with the Duke of Li, she didn't know that what she had done had caught the attention of Mrs. Wang.

In the eyes of Mrs. Wang, the Xue family is her confinement, and the property of the Xue family is her purse, even Xue Tiao and Xue Baoqin brothers and sisters are no exception.Now, Xue Baoqin has married out with a dowry of at least 5 taels, even Xue Baochai is thinking about getting out of Mrs. Wang's control, so how can it be?

Therefore, it became a matter of course that the servants of Jingzhao Mansion rushed to Jia's house and took Xue Pan away.

Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai originally thought that the matter of Xue Pan was over. It has been a year since Xue Pan came home, so why did the people in the yamen arrest him?

Aunt Xue sent people out to inquire about the news, and at the same time came to find Mrs. Wang.

The matter was done by Madam Wang, how could Madam Wang admit it?I had to persuade her with a fake face, and said that she would help to find out, but in fact she did nothing.

Aunt Xue trusted Mrs. Wang from the bottom of her heart, but it was Xue Baochai who always felt something was wrong in her heart, but she was a girl with no elders to accompany her, so she couldn't go out at all, so she had to go to her uncle Wang Ziteng and cousin Xue Baoqin. sent a letter.

Xue Baoqin's reply came first, saying that she already knew the matter, but Liu Xianglian had already gone to the army, and it was not easy to contact her. She had already gone to the Liu family, and the Liu family had sent someone to inquire, and now she was going to Li Guogong's mansion Looking for a way out, but whether people are willing to help and how much they can help is unknown after all, and my cousin will forgive me.

As for Wang Ziteng, he visited Jia's house a few days later, and instead of looking for Jia Zheng from the front and then letting Mrs. Wang inform Aunt Xue and his daughter, he went directly to the back door and went to Xue's small courtyard first.

In the past two days, the Xue family sent people to inquire about Xue Pan, and there were many people coming and going from the back door, but Mrs. Wang did not notice her brother coming in person in the first place.

When Aunt Xue heard that it was Mrs. Wang, she rolled her eyes and passed out.

Xue Baochai instructed Tong Xi and Tong Gui to move Aunt Xue to the soft couch next to her. On the one hand, she asked someone to invite the doctor, but on the other hand, she did not forget to ask Wang Ziteng:

"Uncle, what will happen to my brother?"

The prince was furious.

He never expected that Xue Baochai, who looked clever and clever, didn't even know this.

Wang Ziteng said angrily: "If it's okay, I still have to go through it myself?"

Xue Baochai was dumbfounded.

At this time, I heard Aunt Xue on the soft couch screaming: "My son!"

The voice was full of twists and turns, which made Xue Baochai feel sad.

Wang Ziteng said: "You are not good at teaching, who can blame now?! Not to mention anything else, when you committed a crime, you should quit one or two slaves to take the blame, but you, you actually let Ying Tianfu A death sentence was given to Pan'er! What did you say that the ghost is taking his life? It's over! Do you know that from that time on, Brother Pan is already a dead person in the household registration! You still want to ask me to help? Without that much energy, even the files of the Ministry of Criminal Justice can be changed!"

Aunt Xue was dumbfounded.

With a puff, Xue Baochai knelt down and said, "Uncle, uncle, please, I'm just such a big brother..."

The prince stumbled and said, "Please? What's the use of begging me?!"

"Then, who is that?"

Aunt Xue suddenly shouted: "It's Brother Qi! The little four in the house!"

Aunt Xue remembered that that year, not long after Xue Pan left Beijing, the Jingzhao Mansion also came to arrest him once. Because Xue Pan was not found, the person who reported the crime was beaten up.

Later, Mrs. Wang found out that Jia Qi had instigated it, and even greeted Aunt Xue specially.It's just that Aunt Xue didn't let her daughter know about this matter.

Because she knew that her daughter wanted to marry Jia Cong, and she also knew that Jia Cong was indeed the most prestigious and promising rich man that her daughter could come into contact with.

"how come?"

Xue Baochai never expected that it would be Jia Qi.

At the crab feast before, although Jia Qi was not very kind to her, he was also very polite, not much different from Xichun Xue Baoqin, and there was nothing wrong with the subsequent snow feast, roast venison, and plum feast.

How could it be him? !

Wang Ziteng snorted coldly, and said in a low voice: "The incident the year before last was indeed related to Brother Qi. Don't think I don't know anything. Even a man can't bear to compare Mrs. Lin to an actor. Don't tell me , this has nothing to do with you at all."

Xue Baochai was silent for a while, and said, "What about this year?"

"It's your good aunt!"

Wang Ziteng said angrily: "If I have the same thoughts as her, I don't have to go through this. I just need to sit at home and watch you send money to me continuously. But ,"

Just one sentence, Xue Baochai's heart was ignited with hope.

Xue Baochai opened her eyes wide and looked at Wang Ziteng fixedly, hoping that Wang Ziteng could show her a way out.

Wang Ziteng looked around, and Xue Baochai immediately asked the women to retreat.

Only Wang Ziteng said: "Do you all know how hot the glass mirror outside is?"

Xue Baochai nodded and said, "Yes, it is said that the large full-length mirror costs 15 taels of silver per side. Although the price has been lowered in the middle, it is still 13 taels of silver."

Wang Ziteng said: "You probably don't know that the Supreme Emperor once sent someone to take over the glass mirror, so he once bought one hundred thousand mirrors. Although it was very popular in those few months, the mirrors couldn't be sold soon, and even There are rumors that in the future, these mirrors can be bought for only 1 taels. That person did cause Jia Shizhao a lot of trouble, but after a month of skyrocketing income, the imperial court lost money for two consecutive months In the hands of Jia Shizhao, the glass mirror shop can pay at least 150 million taels of silver every month. As a result, in the hands of that person, 200 million taels of silver were handed over in the first month, and 100 million taels in the second month. It’s only [-] million. Except for the big mirrors, the rest of the small mirrors can’t be sold. In the third month, there are no people who have reserved, and everyone is waiting for him to lower the price. In the end, it was Jia Shizhao Let me tell you the truth: thanks to the fact that it is the court's shop, otherwise, just because of this, it would have been smashed. Now, the glass mirror is still in the hands of Jia Shizhao. This Jia Qi, who used the previous mirror to cut corners, Many mirrors were recalled on the grounds that they did not meet the specifications, and all the recalled mirrors were smashed on the spot. Those who came back with the mirrors could exchange for a mirror with the same specifications and the same decoration on the spot. Jia Shizhao even publicly stated, All the mirrors in his hand were decorated by court painters. It is only through this method that the price of mirrors has risen again."

Xue Baochai immediately understood: "But the Supreme Emperor wants the formula for this mirror?"

Wang Ziteng said: "What does the Supreme Emperor want this formula for? If the old man wants to know, he can just send someone to ask if he doesn't? What the higher-ups want to know is the formula for glass."

"Glass?"

Xue Baochai suddenly understood.

Yes, the most important thing about a mirror is the glass. If there is no prescription for glass, even a prescription with a mirror is useless.

Xue Baochai said: "So I want to go..."

Wang Ziteng said: "Remember, brother Pan's matter can only be delayed until after autumn at the latest. If you can't send Fang Zi up before then, then brother Pan..."

Aunt Xue nodded again and again: "I know, we know, we will definitely do our best for His Majesty."

The more Xue Baochai thought about it, the more something went wrong, and when the prince Teng left, she finally realized: "Didn't you say that You Ruo, who is beside Brother Qi, is a long live person? If the superior wants this prescription, just say hello to You Ruo and it will be done." ?”

Aunt Xue said: "Long live is long live, and the Supreme Emperor is the Supreme Emperor. Now, the imperial court needs money, food, and people to take in those refugees. Since the imperial court needs Brother Qi, it is natural that they cannot talk to Brother Qi. Today, Long Live is a loner, He is very stubborn in these matters. Since he used Qi Geer, he would not open this mouth with Qi Geer."

"Mom, since Brother Qi's food and money to help the victims come from here. Then this prescription must be very important to him, and it may not be easy to get it."

"So what if it's not easy? As long as you get it, your brother can go home!"

Xue Baochai still felt that there was something wrong here, but what was wrong, she couldn't change Aunt Xue's mind at all, even when she said a few more words, Aunt Xue asked her if she didn't want to save her brother.

Xue Baochai was helpless.

However, how easy is it to get glass prescriptions from Jia Qi?

If Xue Baochai is the same age as Xue Baoqin now, Xue Baochai is still somewhat sure.Even if it is sex|seduction|Jia Qi, even if it is to be Jia Qi's concubine, there is still a chance to get close to Jia Qi.

The problem is, Xue Baochai is 17 years old this year, but Jia Qi is only 12!Jia Qi is not as talented as Jia Baoyu. The 12-year-old Jia Qi is probably still unknown.

Age alone is a threshold that cannot be crossed.

Not to mention, Mrs. Jia Shexing was very wary of Mrs. Jia Zhengwang's side, and Jia Qi was only polite to herself. If she wanted to get close to Jia Qi, she couldn't do it at all.

Xue Baochai thought about it, and finally came to a conclusion, that is, if Jia Qi really wrote the glass prescription on paper, if this thing is not in Jia Qi's study, it should be in Lin Daiyu's hands.

Lin Daiyu's yard is only that big, if she goes there twice more, she should be able to find it.

The question is, how to find it.

In other words, what should I do to get close to Lin Daiyu.

When Xue Baochai had something on his mind, he naturally became less enthusiastic about things in the Grand View Garden.However, Shi Xiangyun has such a temperament. Now that the marriage letter between her and Jia Baoyu has come down, she naturally wants to show off.

No, on this day, Shi Xiangyun asked Xue Baochai in front of Yingchun Tanchun: "Sister Bao heard that there is something wrong with your family, but what is it? Look at Sister Bao's distraught appearance, but Sister Bao's house is not for Sister Bao's." Speaking of marriage?"

"None. That's not the case."

Shi Xiangyun said: "Then why is my sister so sad? Qin'er is really, she is younger than me, and her ranking is also lower, so she married before my sister."

Xue Baochai had to explain that Liu Xianglian was getting old and was in a hurry to get married, that's why.

Shi Xiangyun said: "I didn't pay attention before, I remember that Liu Erlang here is brother Xue's savior, and he promised with his body, he should also be Sister Bao, why Sister Bao didn't marry, Qin'er snatched a good marriage. I heard that Qin'er is now the wife of the Eighth Grade Chiming? What a blessing! He is only twelve this year, right? It's about the same as Brother Qi."

Tanchun was afraid that Xue Baochai would get angry and make Shi Xiangyun look bad, so he would not be able to explain himself in front of Mrs. Jia Muwang, so he hurriedly said: "I heard that Sister Bao's family and Sister Qin's family have long since separated. Since they are separated, they are two families. Sister Qin's marriage has nothing to do with Sister Bao."

He sighed again, and said: "The number of people in this garden is getting less and less. The winter before last year, it was very lively here, but in the blink of an eye, the sisters of the Li family left, and the fourth younger sister didn't come either. Now Qin My younger sister is also married, and it's getting more and more deserted."

Xue Baochai's heart moved, and she said: "I remember that the fourth younger sister used to keep filial piety for her father at home. Because the big brother Zhen over there was making too much trouble, she went to the elder's house in the east. I also didn't see the fourth sister for some days. My sister is gone, let's go together, okay?"

Yingchun said: "Fourth younger sister wants to keep her filial piety. I'm afraid it's not good for us to interrupt rashly."

Today Tanchun is wearing autumn fragrance, Xue Baochai is wearing apricot yellow, and Shi Xiangyun is wearing begonia red, so it is not suitable to visit Xichun.

Xue Baochai said: "It's just a matter of changing clothes, so what's the problem?"

Shi Xiangyun saw it immediately.

"Sister Bao, do you have something on your mind, so you want to find the fourth sister? No, the fourth sister is young and not close to Brother Zhen. Even if Sister Bao has something to do, she will definitely not look for the fourth sister. Oh , I understand. Is Sister Bao looking for Sister Lin, or Brother Qi?"

Xue Baochai originally wanted to deny it, but when she rolled her eyes, she recognized it and said, "You know, every year our shop has a special person go to the south to sell goods. I remember my brother brought me some earthenware last year. I don't need him myself, so I distributed them to all the sisters. Among them, Sister Lin's share was specially picked out by me from Yangzhou and Suzhou. I heard that Sister Lin cried a lot over these things later. This year , Our family is going to send someone to the south again, so I want to ask Sister Lin, if there is anything I need, I will tell the subordinates to bring a copy for her."

Shi Xiangyun said: "Come on, come on, Sister Lin has always been petty, but she has a heavy heart, and she is careful and draws her tears, which makes Brother Qi make trouble again."

What about the little actor back then made Shi Xiangyun embarrass Jia Qi.Shi Xiangyun has always avoided Jia Qi as much as possible without seeing him face to face, so how could he be willing to provoke Lin Daiyu who was protected by Jia Qi to death?

Naturally, Yingchun was not very happy to go there.She was originally Jia Amnesty's daughter, but was adopted to Jia Zheng.Although she changed from a concubine to a concubine because of this, Jia She's life is getting better and better every day, and Jia Yue and Jia Wan's Jiji ceremony is getting better and better.Jia Yue married off with a dowry of 15 yuan, and then it was Jia Wan's turn. Compared to myself, she was 17 years old and no one cared about her.It's no wonder that welcoming the spring will feel good.

Instead, it was Tanchun, but she had her own agenda.

Tanchun is shrewd and can calculate, but her shrewdness is also very limited, just like Mrs. Jia Muwang who loves Jia Baoyu very much, and firmly believes that Jia Baoyu will bring Jia Baoyu to the Jia family in the future.
