Xue Baochai, the belly of the Red Chamber

Xue Baochai listened to Danqing's report, a pair of beautiful almond eyes flashed a trace of satisfaction.Although she was not willing to become the chief steward of Emperor Zhengde's small treasury, and her identity was not visible, but although she didn't have much face to speak of.But the inside is very full, and to take care of these businesses again, in the past, she might have to manage up and down, and spent 12 distractions, but now it can be done with just one sentence.

It is really much more convenient, whether it is the properties of Xue's family, or the profit of a private cloth shop opened by Xue Baochai, all of which are rising steadily.Looking at the ever-increasing numbers on the ledger, Xue Baochai felt less complaints about Emperor Zhengde.

"Girl, Danxin is here." Yun Shu blessed Fushen slightly, and said softly.

Xue Baochai didn't stop turning over the account books, and said, "But did you say something? If there is nothing important and it's just a routine reply, let him go back first. Come back in the evening. I have a little busy."

A trace of hesitation flashed in Yun Shu's eyes, and he bit his lower lip before he said, "Returning to the girl, I said that I want to report the matter of Rongning and Ningxia that the girl specially told me earlier, and now the result has come to fruition." At the end of the conversation, Yun Shu's voice was a little cautious.

It's not that she was careful, but since she came back from enjoying the plums in Ningguo Mansion that day.The girl and his wife had a dispute because of their marriage.Since then, the atmosphere in the mansion has become weird, and because the uncle is on duty, he is not at home, and there is no one to persuade him.As for these maids, although they have a lot of face in the mansion, they dare not talk about the master's private affairs in front of the master.Especially the girl's marriage.Such a thing, even if they were given ten more guts, they would not dare to open their mouths to discuss it.

Because of this incident, the current atmosphere in the mansion is a bit weird.All the servant girls and servants in the mansion have increased their caution, for fear that they will find disasters on themselves if they are not careful.At that time, I am afraid that the gods of Da Luo will not be able to save them.

Hearing Yun Shu's words, Xue Baochai was moving the hand of the abacus, paused for a moment, and then said, "Let him come in and answer."

"Yes, girl." Yun Shu blessed his body and walked out.

After a while, Dan Xin in Tsing Yi walked in.

Because he already knew the reason for the strange atmosphere in the mansion, compared with Dan Qing's calmness, Dan Xin, who had always seemed lively and moving, didn't dare to be weird now.I respectfully invite Ann.

"Tell me, what did you find out?" Xue Baochai's voice became colder and colder when he said this, "Which people were involved in this matter? No matter what their identities, high or low , tell me one by one." She always had to pay some price for her calculations.

Dan Xin didn't dare to reply with a playful smile like in the past, and replied in a deep voice: "Respond to the girl's words. After the investigation of the subordinates, in this matter, among the female relatives of Rongning and Ningfu, there is no other matter except widowhood." Except for Grandma Zhu, who is responsible, and Mrs. Jia, who is determined to make Miss Lin and Jia Baoyu into a pair. The rest are almost all involved." After finishing speaking, Dan Xin lowered her head.

It is true that the girl's expression at this time is really different, her almond eyes seem to be full of steam, clear and sharp, facing such cold eyes, Dan Xin has to bow her head.

It was the first time he had seen the girl with such an obviously angry expression.Even when the master passed away and the slaves in the mansion took the opportunity to make trouble, the girl was never so angry. It seems that this time everyone involved in the incident will be in trouble.

"Second Grandma Lian also has a share?" Xue Baochai asked again.

Dan Xin replied in a low voice, not daring to hide anything and replied: "Although there is no real movement, but when Mrs. Jia Er asked about it, she helped beat a lot of side drums."

When Xue Baochai heard this, she understood a lot. Although she didn't directly participate in it, she also played a part in it.

"Dan Xin, tonight, you personally go and deliver a message to Cousin Lian, saying that you want to meet him at Piaoxiangju at a quarter of noon tomorrow. I have something important to discuss with him." This Wang Xifeng said it was her Her first cousin is also her cousin, with double kisses, she and Jia Lian are now able to get along as husband and wife, and she is even pregnant here, which is also due to her credit.Now that he is harming himself, he is so merciless.What she said was really sweet, a family of flesh and blood, breaking the bones and connecting the tendons.

As expected, she was indeed the Second Mistress Lian who was praised by others, determined not to lose to a man, slick and articulate.

If that's the case, let's start counting from her first.

When Danxin heard Xue Baochai's words, she knew that her daughter was about to settle accounts with others.And very unfortunately, the first one is Wang Xifeng.Thinking of the things she did, she was not wronged from the beginning, so she replied: "Yes, this subordinate obeys."

Jia Lian looked at Dan Xin dressed in black, frowned slightly, and said, "You mean sister Xue asked me to meet at Piaoxiangju tomorrow? Do you know why?" Although he said that he and Xue Baochai were here already A consensus on cooperation was reached, but there is really no more communication on weekdays.Even if there is any accident, it will be passed on by his servant Zhaoer Fenger or Xue Baochai's sincerity and Danqing.The two rarely meet.

You must know that although they are called cousins, they have no blood relationship after all, and because of their identities as cousin and cousin husband.If people see it, they will inevitably have some charming thoughts.It doesn't matter if he is a man, but if he hurts sister Xue's boudoir reputation, he will be cut into pieces here.

Dan Xin looked at Jia Lian, who obviously didn't know anything, and was kept in the dark, and then looked at him with two points of sympathy in his eyes.After thinking for a while, he said: "The subordinates don't know. It's just that the master asked the subordinates to bring a sentence to the second master, to cultivate oneself, regulate the family, govern the country and the world."

"What does this mean?" Jia Lian asked in confusion.

Dan Xin clasped her fists and said, "This subordinate will take his leave first." Then he jumped up lightly, and quickly disappeared in front of Jia Lian's eyes.

After Dan Xin left, Jia Lian began to think about the sentence he said just now, "cultivate one's morals, govern the family, govern the country and the world."

He remembered that this sentence came from "Book of Rites University", which roughly means that if you want to govern a country well, you must start with yourself.Although he was a little absurd when he said that before, but it was just making trouble at home, and it was not a big deal.Then when he came back from rebirth, he had to be himself first.He can say with certainty that there is absolutely nothing wrong with him.If so.The words that Xue Baochai asked to tell himself may be more likely to be placed on the Qi family.

Could it be that Wang Xifeng has done something without telling himself that it won't work?

It's just that Jia Lian thought about it carefully here, and there is no such thing.Especially some time ago, Wang Xifeng was found to be pregnant for more than a month. During this period of time, under her own persuasion, even the right to housekeeper was temporarily let go, and she was happy to have a baby in her yard.Should there be no time to do anything?

But what Dan Xin said just now obviously has something to say?

Jia Lian thought about it for a while, and decided to go and ask Wang Xifeng.If Xue Baochai was really angered because of what she did, she must make up for it as soon as possible.You must know that Xue Baochai is not as pure and generous as she looks, gentle and amiable, and the most narrow-minded, he is very careful.

Not to mention that Jia Lian is here to discuss things with Jia Lian.

On the other side, the matter that Xue Baochai entrusted Prince Yu to handle here has also been sent by Song Mo to pass the word that it is appropriate.In two or three days at the latest, there will be a formal transfer order.

Hearing the news, Xue Baochai nodded in satisfaction.

"Yun Shu, is the person I asked you to find already good?" Xue Baochai asked aloud.

Yun Shu replied, "It's already done."

"But voluntary?" Xue Baochai said that the last thing she likes here is forced people.Especially girls.

Yun Shu opened his mouth and replied, "It's voluntary to go back to the girl. After hearing about the intention, the girl agreed immediately without even thinking about it. Her attitude was unexpectedly straightforward." They were a little overwhelmed. Surprised.

Xue Baochai smiled softly: "It seems that she is a girl who knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. This is very good, so that when she enters the Rongguo Mansion in the future, she can compete with Wang Xifeng."

Wang Xifeng, since you dare to use my marriage to curry favor with them, I will touch your marriage too.

Piaoxiangju

Piaoxiangju is the property opened by the Xue family in the capital for more than 20 years. It is just an ordinary property, and the people who come and go are only ordinary small rich families.It can be said that it is the most inconspicuous place among the Xue family's properties in the capital.

However, those who work here, from the shopkeeper to the waiters in the waiting room, or the aunts who wash the vegetables and dishes in the backyard, are all confidantes trained by Xue Baochai.It counts as Xue Baochai's private property.

"Sister Xue."

Xue Baochai and Jia Lian came here separately, so as not to arouse others' suspicion, and they were only wearing ordinary cotton clothes, which are very common here, but they did not arouse people's ideas.

"Cousin Lian." Xue Baochai blessed her body slightly.

Seeing Xue Baochai's behavior, Jia Lian didn't understand.Because Xue Baochai didn't seem to have any problems, whether it was attitude or other things.But what did the sentence she asked Dan Xin to tell herself yesterday mean?It can't just be fun, right?This is not like Xue Baochai's style of acting.

"I don't know what sister Xue called me to come here, but what can't be done?" Jia Lian said this with some sincerity, because during this period of time, with Xue Baochai's help, he has quietly He silently found out the inside and outside of the mansion.Just about to prepare for the next move.

Xue Baochai said, "Cousin Lian, I have a good thing to do for you. I don't know what you mean?"

When Jia Lian heard Xue Baochai's words, he was a little puzzled: "Sister Xue, please explain?" Is there something good to do to him?Why does he always feel that it is not a good thing?

"In the past, I once talked to Cousin Lian. Cousin Lian's position in the mansion is a bit embarrassing. Although he is the eldest son of the eldest son of the mansion, it is obvious that you have no status in the mansion. It's just slightly stronger than a concubine like Jia Huan. Instead of playing tricks and tricks in the mansion, thinking about improving your status, it's not about fighting outside. When you have real power in your hands, who will dare to treat you Are there any objections to what you said? Cousin Lian, think about it, what I'm talking about is this truth?" Xue Baochai said.

Jia Lian thought about it for a while and said, "Of course I understand what Sister Xue said. It's just that, although I said that I have an official position as a co-prefect, it's just donated and used as a name. I have no real power at all. , I don’t even need to receive a salary. The mansion is going downhill now, so I can’t help you in this regard, even if I want to, I can’t do anything.” If it was about his previous life, he said he had to be happy.But after being reborn, he already understood that in the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks are vulnerable.

It's just that even if you understand, it's too late.When he came back from life, although he also thought about taking the imperial examination, but he was really not the material for studying.I can only give up.I also once thought about asking Wang Ziteng to help, seeking for a real shortage, but in the end it was nothing.Needless to say, the old ancestor's side is useless at all, otherwise the second uncle would not have been in the position of foreign minister of the Ministry of Industry for more than ten years.

Now listening to Xue Baochai, she has a way.That's true, considering the current time, she and that person are probably already on the line.

"You don't have to worry about this, Cousin Lian. I have already entrusted His Highness Prince Yu with you. He said that the county magistrate of Lantai County in Fengzhou just retired and returned home. Although the place is remote and the people are mixed, it is the most It's an easy place to make achievements. I don't know what Cousin Lian thinks?" Xue Baochai said again.

When Jia Lian heard that Xue Baochai had a solution, he was happy at first, but when he heard that it was Lantai County, his expression became solemn again.He had also heard of that place. It was a remote area and not easy to manage.But after thinking about it for a while, I think it is feasible, so what?It couldn't compare to the ending of his previous life, not to mention that now that there is a ready opportunity in front of him, he would be a fool if he didn't use it.Immediately, he made a long speech to Xue Baochai: "I thank sister Xue for her great kindness."

"Cousin Lian is really polite. In two or three days, you will have a transfer order here. Probably after the opening of the new year, you can go to the post." Xue Baochai said with a smile.

Jia Lian made another long episode to Xue Baochai: "I'm really bothering Sister Xue."

"Family relatives, don't be so polite." Seeing that half of what she wanted was achieved, Xue Baochai finally showed a sincere smile on her face.
