Xue Baochai, the belly of the Red Chamber

Although for many slaves who have signed a death contract and their wealth and life are in the hands of their masters, being able to let go of their own life contract and become a good citizen again is simply a matter of heaven.But this matter may be a dream for ordinary slaves.But for servants of aristocratic families like Xue Gui, it is not a very willing thing, what's more, they still resist it in their hearts.

Not for anything else.For power and money.

As the son of the mansion, Xue Gui is a hereditary servant and the chief steward, and his life since he was a child is not much worse than that of the master of the mansion.Suffering, let alone the slightest bit, if there is any, it is at most a job of running errands to spread the word.Apart from Xue Baochai, Xue Pan and Xuemu, who are the dignified masters in the mansion, Xue Jian's aunts, not to mention some aunts who were born as maidservants, even concubines from good families who were formally accepted into the mansion, when they see Xue Gui, they should also be respectful. Stand up and call out to Steward Xue.

Although they are slaves, they live a carefree life in the mansion, with slaves and maidservants around them, and they are no worse than their masters in terms of food and clothing.When you are outside, you can still bear the name of the Xue family, domineering, and bully others. Ordinary ordinary people will be afraid of seeing him.

Slaves do this.Where is he willing to go out and be a good citizen?

Without the protection of the Xue family, even though they have some money in their hands, they are at best a family with a little extra money.It is no longer the scenery of the time when I was in the mansion.

Therefore, Xue Baochai was not surprised at Hu's surprise and obvious reluctance.

As if he didn't see Hu's surprised expression, Xue Baochai took a sip of tea, turned his head to Yun Juan and said, "Look, everyone in Xue Gui's family is already so happy and silly."

Yun Juan is the one who knows Xue Baochai's temperament best, so he covered his mouth and smiled, and said in agreement: "But. Being able to leave the mansion to become a good citizen and reunite with the family is a grace that many slaves in our mansion can't even ask for. No wonder Mother Hu is so happy."

The only son of Xue Gui and the Hu family, Xue Shou, when he was seven years old, received the grace of Xue Jian, and became a good citizen.

"Okay. Xue Gui's family, I have nothing else to do here. You can go back. Tell Xue Gui the news and make him happy. In addition, after you go back, you can start to take care of it. Pack your luggage, look for a place to live, and get ready to leave the mansion." When Xue Baochai spoke, although his tone was still gentle, his beautiful almond eyes shone with a cold light.

This made Hu, who racked his brains to think of many excuses, blocked all the words in his mouth, unable to say a word.

In the end, Xue Baochai had no choice but to be sent out under the words of "seeing off the guests". .

Mrs. Hu originally came to inquire about the news, but unexpectedly, she was completely chilled by such news.Compared to Xue Gui's indifference to Xue Baochai, although she, a member of the inner court, did not serve the master for a long time, she knew two points more than Xue Gui.

Although she said that she was sent out by Yun Juan, and seeing her being sent out by the big girl next to her sister was a kind of dignity, but she knew in her heart that she was actually 'driven' out by Xue Baochai.

She felt afraid of Xue Baochai in her heart, wandered around the door, but did not dare to go in, finally she could only sigh, and decided that instead of wasting time here, it would be better to go to the wife's side and ask more clearly.

But what Hu didn't know was that Xue Baochai had already guarded against her trick here.I specially asked the two big girls, Jixiang and Ruyi, who were in front of Xue's mother, to guard the Fushou Hall strictly. When I saw Mrs. Hu, I had Xue Baochai's early entrustment.Naturally, Mrs. Hu didn't even see Xue's mother, so she was sent back.

Although Hu's heart secretly hated, but there is no way.I had to hurry back home, thinking about discussing with the head of the family, what should I do?

"Girl, you told Xue Gui's family this news so early. Are you afraid that they will go back and cause trouble? Then Xue Gui is a scoundrel. He will most likely rely on his ancestor's love to act like a scoundrel, to embarrass his wife and girl." It's really annoying." Jinzhan asked a little puzzled.

Xue Baochai touched the pearl earrings on her ears, and replied: "Anyway, I will inform them this afternoon. What does it matter if I just say something in advance. Li Daren, a shrewd man, can't do anything? He Xue Gui This ignorant person will not be able to make big waves." Although Xue Gui's family may go to find his mother, but she has already told Jixiang Ruyi that if Xue Gui's family is still allowed to go in.Then it seems that the two big girls, Jixiang and Ruyi, are of no use.The big girl's seat can be freed up.

"That's the way it is." Jinzhan suddenly understood.

Xue Baochai looked at Jinzhan and shook her head slightly. Although Jinzhan is a loyal girl, she is not as clever as Hua Ling.But it's okay for her, after all, it's secondary to her that she is not clever, and the girl's loyalty is the most important thing.Otherwise, she wouldn't want a clever but not loyal girl even if she was given away for nothing.

Talk in two parts.

When the Hu family got the news that their family was going to be released from the mansion, they were naturally anxious and anxious. When they got to the Fushou Hall, they couldn't get in again.Even though he hated secretly in his heart, there was nothing he could do. He had no choice but to walk back home quickly, thinking of having a good discussion with Xue Gui.

What Hu didn't expect was that when she returned home, she saw Xue Gui walking around on the kang with his arms around a thin Yangzhou horse, without any sense of danger.She was so angry that she strode forward and beat that Yangzhou skinny horse, and vented all the anger she received in Xue's mansion here.

When she vented her anger, the face of that Yangzhou skinny horse, which was originally flowery and jade-like, had turned blue and purple, and it was very swollen, and she couldn't see the beauty of the past at all.

Although Xue Gui said that he was a mixed person and was not afraid of his wife, but seeing that the Hu family was different from the past, he didn't know who was annoyed by him, and he was so angry that he didn't dare to go forward to join him.After changing his clothes in a mess, he quietly stayed in one place and waited.Seeing that Hu's anger seemed to be getting better, he said at this moment: "Who offended you? You are so angry that you send all your anger to me? Look at a good beauty, give me What's it like?" As he spoke, he looked towards the Yangzhou skinny horse, thinking of saying a few words of comfort, but seeing that the other party's face was already in disrepair, and disgust flashed across his narrow eyes, he didn't speak. up.He waved his hand and let the other party go out.

Yangzhou Shouma received a beating for no reason, although she felt wronged, but she also had a little sense, seeing that Xue Gui didn't speak, she didn't dare to make a mistake.He had no choice but to look at Xue Gui with resentful eyes, and retreated aggrieved.

"My dear lady, come, have a cup of tea and calm down." Xue Gui poured a cup of tea with his own hands and brought it to Mrs. Hu. Seeing that she drank it, he said with a playful smile, "Who the hell is it? You are so bold that you made your wife so angry? Tell me about it, and I will help you vent your anger."

Mrs. Hu vented her anger, but when she heard Xue Gui's words, she immediately came up again, and said angrily, "Who else would dare? Ordinary people, who would dare to be angry with me? It's not from the mansion." Miss? Today I wanted to go to the mansion to find out what's going on? Unexpectedly, the lady said that she has already reported to the wife and wants to let our family out of the mansion. "

"What's this? Are you sure you heard it right?" Xue Gui frowned when he heard it.

Hu said again: "If this is the case, you can't hear it wrong. The eldest girl still said, let us put things in a good place in the next few days. Let us move out in a few days." Here, his tone paused, and he continued: "Master, what do you think we dare to do now?" All of their family were slaves from birth.Have no ability to make a living?If they leave the mansion, it looks like they have gained a huge advantage, but their life must not be as stable as it is now.

Xue Gui said with cold eyebrows: "It's just a girl's film, and what she said may not count. Although the master is gone, there are wife and uncle. She is the one who has the final say in this mansion." Their family can Her Xue family is kind, how dare she do this?

"I've been to Madam's place. I'm afraid the eldest girl has already given orders. I waited for a long time, but I didn't even see Madam's face, so I was sent back." Hu said with a sigh.

When Xue Gui heard this, he immediately burst into anger, and said angrily: "It's really a piece of shit girl who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth. You just relax here and wait, I will go and ask the uncle."

Compared to Xue Gui's lack of brains, Mrs. Hu is a bit smarter, knowing that since the eldest girl has already prepared for the wife, the uncle may have already confessed to it.What's more, the uncle has a straight temper and doesn't have so many thoughts. He is not as articulate as a girl, and he is smart. Since the master passed away, all the affairs in the house have been taken care of by the eldest girl.Even if the head of the family went to find the uncle, he might return in vain.

Just thinking about it now, there is no better way.I can only let the uncle go over and try it out, and it may not be sure that there will be a turnaround.

After Xue Baochai finished his nap, he started his daily life.

Although Father Xue's funeral has passed now, it seems that there is no major event in the mansion.However, as an imperial merchant, the Xue family has many shops and Zhuangzi all over the country. Every day, there are quite a few ledgers that need to be reviewed.After Xue's father passed away, Xue's mother, needless to say, was a woman in the inner house, with a weak temperament, so she couldn't be a big responsibility at all.Needless to say, Xue Pan has no heart. Although Xue's father has taught him, he really doesn't have any talent for business, and he can't even make good calculations until now.Naturally, there is no hope.

It was precisely because of this that when Father Xue was seriously ill, he made the decision to hand over the family business to his daughter.

The sunshine in March is just right.

There was silence in the room, only the raindrops of the abacus beads could be heard, with occasional pauses, and then rapid ringing again.

Xue Baochai dialed the beads with his left hand and held the pen with his right. His movements were quick, and he was obviously very proficient in calculating accounts.It's just that the more she calculated, the tighter her eyebrows frowned.After looking through the account book, his expression was already too cold, and he said lightly: "It's hard for them to make the account book so meticulous in order to fool yourself, a girl."

"The girl already has a charter in her heart?" Yun Shu was not worried, but said softly.

Xue Baochai brushed her hair around her ears, and said, "Yes. They can be proud of it for only two days." Xue's father was gone in the family, his mother was weak-tempered, and his elder brother had no talent for business. Yes, she is a daughter, and it is inconvenient for her to do many things.She had already made up her mind about this coveted family property of the Xue family.

With soft footsteps, Hua Ling walked in through the curtain, blessed her body, and said in a low voice: "Girl, there are people from the clan. They are talking in the lobby right now, sir, please go over quickly." People from the clan will come, this is something they have already expected, but they just didn't want to but picked this time to come.

When Xue Baochai heard this, the faint smile on his face suddenly deepened a lot: "Oh, it's finally here. They will pick the time!" Then he stood up and turned his head, "Let's go, go and have a look What are they here for?"

"Yes."
