Xue Baochai, the belly of the Red Chamber

Although it is said that I want to work abroad, as long as I pack my things, I can leave at any time.

But before leaving, there are still many things to be resolved.First of all, I have to go to Xue's house. It's hard to say that she has been away for at least six years. Naturally, I have to talk to Aunt Xue. After all, I don't know when the next meeting will be?Aunt Xue was naturally heartbroken when she got the news, but she also forgave, but she still couldn't help but feel sad, and felt a lot sadder after Xue Baochai left.

Fortunately, it was soon discovered that Fang was pregnant for more than a month, which distracted Aunt Xue's attention.

There is also Ningguo Mansion. Two years ago, by chance, she and Jia Rong from Ningguo Mansion became partners.In the past two or three years, although she didn't seem to have much contact, at most, Aunt Xue went to talk to You Shi occasionally.But in private, Xue Baochai and Jia Rong have not had little contacts.

Ask ten people about Jia Rong and they will tell you that he is a standard rich dude who knows nothing but walking cats and dogs.But after getting along with him, Xue Baochai also discovered several bright spots in him.First of all, he is a very winky person, he has a good ability to observe words and expressions, and secondly, he is very knowledgeable, knowing what he should do and what he should not do?

During the two or three years of working with him, I said that the cooperation is still pleasant.

I heard that the entire Ningguo Mansion is now under the control of Jia Rong, and his father Jia Zhen has been completely excluded by him.Now it is also preparing to deal with those slaves and family-born children in the mansion.By the way, as for the daughter-in-law Qin who cuckolded him, she had already been killed by him two years ago.Her adulterer is Jia Rong's own father, Jia Zhen. Although Jia Rong didn't say anything, she already held Jia Zhen in her heart.It's just that now his fledgling can only endure secretly.

However, since the Qin family was dealt with, Jia Rong didn't seem to be able to relieve her hatred, and Jia Zhen also moved a little bit.In the past two or three years, as Jia Zhen paid more and more attention to female sex, Jia Rong specially spent money to find two stunning Yangzhou skinny horses from the south to honor him. Jia Zhen was very happy and praised Jia Rong a lot.It's just that what he never imagined was that with these two Yangzhou skinny horses, his body was slowly being hollowed out.It can be said that his body is getting worse every day. If he continues to live like this, he will be able to go to the underworld to report to Lord Yama in at most two years.

The reason why it is called cooperation is that Xue Baochai helped Jia Rong to clean up the Ningguo Mansion little by little, and let him take power alone.As for Jia Rong, it is for her to use as her eyeliner in the capital, reporting some situations in the capital at any time, and there are many things that she does not come forward, and Jia Rong also comes forward to complete them.

Now Xue Baochai wants to go to Yangzhou with Meng Shihan to take a foreign post, and it will take many years to be unable to return.Now she holds Emperor Zhengde's small private treasury in her hand, and she is leaving. She doesn't have to worry about taking care of the properties in the south, but in the capital, she needs help.

And Jia Rong came in handy at this time.

Become the microphone between her and Emperor Zhengde.Well... In other words, Jia Rong's immediate boss is her and her immediate boss is Emperor Zhengde. Speaking of which, Jia Rong is also a subordinate of Emperor Zhengde.

Before leaving, she had to explain to Jia Rong.

These things don't look like many, but when they add up, the time is short, so naturally it seems more busy.

But fortunately, these things are all in order, Xue Baochai carried out them here one by one, although he was a bit busy, he didn't look messy.After more than ten busy days, everything was finally taken care of.Xue Baochai also breathed a sigh of relief here, and set off for Yangzhou just waiting for tomorrow.

"Baochai, you have worked hard during this time." Meng Shihan has noticed Xue Baochai's busyness these days. Although he wants to help, he is also busy here.Because he was about to leave, Emperor Zhengde had called him into the palace almost every day these days to explain some things to him.Although he has intentions here, he is powerless, so he can only comfort Xue Baochai in this way.

Xue Baochai shook her head and said, "It's okay. It's all over anyway." Although the past month in Yangzhou was said to be monotonous and boring on the boat, it was still possible to take a good rest for a while.

Meng Shihan asked, "Has everything been explained properly?" It wasn't that he didn't trust Xue Baochai's ability to handle affairs, but he still couldn't help but ask.

"Well, everything has been settled. Yun Shu and Yun Juan have checked carefully, and there is nothing missing. In addition, the elder sister's marriage has also been settled, and Liu's side can no longer intervene. My eldest sister can handle it by herself." What's more, Aunt Li is not a good person to get along with. I can see clearly.One day every month, Meng's father would go to Jingxinju, and he would stay there for most of the day.

Meng Shihan said: "That's good. This way we can leave with peace of mind." Although my father was always a little confused about family matters and couldn't figure out some things, he wasn't too confused about major matters, otherwise the Meng family would be confused. It won't develop like this.

"Shihan, the emperor said, how long are we going to stay?" Xue Baochai asked.

Meng Shihan replied: "I didn't say the specifics, but listening to the emperor's tone, it will take at least six years. After all, Jiangnan is not easy to manage, and the time of chaos is not one or two years. I really want to If you want to sort it out, it won't work in a few years." However, for Meng Shihan, he still prefers to go to the south of the Yangtze River compared to being in the capital.Although he still couldn't escape having to do things for Emperor Zhengde, he felt much more at ease there.

On this matter, Xue Baochai really thought about it with Meng Shihan, and said with a smile: "According to my opinion, it would be great if I could stay there for the rest of my life." Although she still enjoys this kind of life more now, But one day you will get bored.When she can't do what she wants, she always has to back down.

When Meng Shihan heard Xue Baochai's words, his eyes lit up immediately, "Well, I also think that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is cleaner than here." He and Baochai can always think of a place .

"Yes."

Because Meng Shihan wanted to go out as a foreigner, the next morning, the entire Meng family began to get busy.

Father Meng even found time to call Meng Shihan over here, and gave him a good order.After all, he is only such a son, and he is naturally happy to see that Emperor Zhengde now values ​​him and entrusts him with a heavy responsibility, but he also knows that Jiangnan is not a peaceful place.I am also worried about the safety of my only son.

Meng Shihan did not contradict Father Meng this time either, and responded to Father Meng's words one by one.

As for Xue Baochai, although she once thought about staying in Jiangnan for the rest of her life, she also knew that this was impossible.She and Meng Shihan would come back sooner or later. After all, the roots of the Meng family were in the capital city, not in the south of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, when she left this time, she left her companion and the whole family, and even Yun Shu.

She didn't trust the Meng family at all, so her dowry was left in the mansion, let alone she was a little worried.After seeing Liu's unreliable and weak character, she had to make preparations.Naturally, Yun Shu's loyalty to him needn't be doubted, and he felt relieved to keep her here.

With Yunjuan, Forsythia and others with him, it was enough for him to use up.

After arranging everything as soon as possible, Xue Baochai and Meng Shihan bid farewell to the members of the Meng family and Xue Pan and others who had spared time to send Xue Baochai off, and boarded a boat for Yangzhou.

Rongguofu

Mrs. Wang was flipping through the roster in her hand, and she didn't know how long it had passed, so she rubbed the position of her temples with some headaches, turned her head, and said to the maid Jin Chuan, "It's really It's a bit tricky for the eyes."

"Ma'am, the left and right masters are not very old, so you don't need to be so anxious." Jin Chuan helped Mrs. Wang pour a cup of tea, put it in front of her, and said with a smile.

Although Jin Chuan comforted Mrs. Wang in this way, she also knew in her heart that Jia Baoyu was really not too young, and it was not to blame Mrs. Hu Wang for being so anxious. In fact, a lady who was about his size was either married or set up a long time ago. people.What's more, Mrs. Wang's requirements are also high, and it is really not easy to find a daughter-in-law who suits her heart.

Mrs. Wang didn't like it after reading it for so long, so she put down the booklet in her hand, took a sip of tea, and said, "You will comfort me. Although Baoyu's age can be delayed for two years, it doesn't matter. But look On the old lady's side, she wholeheartedly wants to make my Baoyu and that sick child a pair, but my Baoyu doesn't live up to it, and she will be fascinated by her, and I am very happy." The tone paused, perhaps because it was aroused. The anger in her heart said, "It's fine that she is a sick child. She is still a fatherless and motherless person who doesn't even have a close brother or sister. How can she be worthy of my Baoyu?" Needless to say, she did not get along with Lin Daiyu's mother, Jia Min.

As long as she thought of her son marrying Jia Min's daughter, she felt unwilling for a while.With Lin Daiyu's body, I will have to support her as a mother-in-law in the future, otherwise, if I let her take care of her for a while, she will fall ill later on.Doesn't she want to be known as a mean daughter-in-law?

"Ma'am... Be careful that walls have ears." Jin Chuan reminded Mrs. Wang when she heard what Mrs. Wang said too much.

Mrs. Wang couldn't stop her anger once she got angry, "I know. It's just that when I think of my Baoyu marrying such a daughter-in-law in the future, I can't stop my anger for a while. What do you say to hurt my Baoyu?" They are all just deceitful words." Suddenly he thought of something, his tone suddenly calmed down, and he sighed softly: "Well, if it comes to Baochai, that girl..." Thinking of Xue Baochai actually directly saying that Jia Yuanchun is She also felt displeased for a while at the concubine's words.

Jin Chuan has served Mrs. Wang for many years, and naturally knows her best, so he said with a smile: "Actually, if you want to tell me, this girl from the Zhao family is pretty good. No matter in terms of age, family background, character, talent and appearance, she is the same as our Bao Er." He is about the same as Master, and he is a well-educated person, and he will definitely reconcile with Master Bao and be beautiful in the future." Since she dared to say such a thing, it was because she had known from Mrs. Wang's face earlier that among all the girls Mrs. Wang likes Miss Zhao the most.

"You have a good vision." After looking at so many beautiful girls, she really likes Miss Zhao the most.It's just that Jin Chuan, a servant, said it like this, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

Jin Chuan understood Mrs. Wang's character, and immediately said with a smile: "How can a servant have any sense, it's not good to be taught by my wife."

Mrs. Wang glanced at Jin Chuan and stopped talking.

Baoyu's marriage should indeed be settled.She didn't believe that the old man was willing to give the sick child to Baoyu to be his child. If she really had that heart, she didn't have any objections here.
