Time flies by.

It was already the beginning of summer, and Xue Baochai had already prepared to leave a few days earlier to go to the capital. After all, there were three months left before Meng Xue's wedding.

Yangzhou has stabilized after more than a year of operation.

"Baochai, you should be more careful when you go back." Meng Shihan frowned slightly, he was a little worried about Xue Baochai going back to the capital by himself.It's just that he is not Xue Baochai here, he cannot leave Yangzhou, even if he is a little worried, he can only send more servants to follow him.

Xue Baochai looked at Meng Shihan's slightly frowned eyebrows, and only smiled and said, "Shihan, you don't have to worry so much. I'm not going back alone. There are so many maids and servants with me. Besides, there is Long Xing The escorts will also protect them, so you don't have to worry." After more than two years of marriage, Xue Baochai and Meng Shihan's husband and wife have also become harmonious in their daily relationship.

Meng Shihan was still a little uneasy, "Although this is the case, I am still a little worried because it will take more than a month to travel by water." Meng Shihan has gradually mastered the way of getting along with Xue Baochai in getting along with Xue Baochai. Obscure methods will not work here for Xue Baochai, only direct expression.And now he also knows how to get along with Xue Baochai, you have to be straightforward, you can't hide anything from her, although her temper looks stable, but in fact it is not, she is very fierce, and she will never give people a second chance.

Xue Baochai smiled: "Don't worry. When I get to the capital, I will definitely send you a letter back quickly. And I will come back before the time of the year." Some are not many.

"Okay, I know. But you still have to remember, don't let Yunjuan and Forsythia leave your side, especially Yunjuan, she knows a lot of kung fu. I can rest assured that I can protect you..." Meng Shihan Although he knew that there was peace and prosperity, but when he thought about it, he couldn't help talking about it.

Xue Baochai was not at all impatient with Meng Shihan's nagging words, and even felt a little warm in his heart.In fact, although she has always advertised that she can do it alone, it cannot be denied that she is still very happy and willing to have such a person who cares about you.

No matter how reluctant Meng Shihan was, at the end of June, Xue Baochai boarded a ship and headed for the capital with Yunjuan Lianqiao and other servants and a large amount of supplies.

After nearly a month on the boat, even Xue Baochai, who can endure it, can't help but feel a little bored.Because he was going to the capital soon, and the journey didn't have to be that fast, so at dusk that day, Xue Baochai ordered to dock the boat and wait for the next morning before continuing to set off.

Here is a barren mountain, even if it is near the shore, there is no human habitation.

However, there are two more boats. Although Xue Baochai is the only master, there are also many random maids and slaves.After getting off the boat, there were as many as three or forty people.

The boat stopped, because it was summer and it was dark and late.Xue Baochai became interested, so he sat on the bow of the boat and started fishing.They also asked people to go to the old forest on the bank to hunt a few pheasants or rabbits for a barbecue meeting at night.

Although Xue Baochai seldom fished in the past, fortunately she was lucky.

In an hour, she harvested a full six fish, and each one was not light, weighing at least two catties.

That night, because of Xue Baochai's speech, it was extraordinarily lively, until very late, and a night watchman was assigned.Only then did it slowly fall silent.

"Grandma, it's already late at night. It's time to rest, and we have to hurry tomorrow morning." Yunjuan looked at Xue Baochai who was still looking through the account book, looked at the time funnel, and couldn't help but said.

Xue Baochai also looked through it here, and obeyed Yun Juan's words, handed the account book in Yun Juan's hands, and asked her to put it away, but at the end, she remembered another thing: "Yun Juan, prepare the account book for the eldest girl. Bring me the list of makeup additions and let me read it again."

"Yes, grandma." Yun Juan knew that Xue Baochai was stubborn, and since she opened her mouth, she must do it. Although she was a little unhappy in her heart, she still readily agreed.

Although there seemed to be a lot of things to add to Meng Xue's makeup, it was because most of them were cloth and silk, and they were only a hundred taels of silver, which was not very expensive.Of course, these are not all. Since Meng Shihan deliberately promoted Meng Xue here, she naturally needn't be stingy.She is not short of money.

After scanning it once, he told Yun Juan, "Yun Juan, add the box of hairpin jewelry that I bought in Baibaozhai." Keke, although it is said to be a box of hairpin jewelry, it is not The particularly expensive one is mostly Xue Baochai. Seeing that the style is novel and different from those in the capital and Jinling, and the scenery is extraordinarily gentle, she bought a lot at Baibaozhai. This box is only 500 taels of silver. That's all.

Yunjuan responded immediately.

After doing these things, Xue Baochai fell asleep under the service of Yunjuan and Lianqiao.

After traveling on the boat for a few more days, he entered the border of the capital, if there were no accidents.In the evening, you can go to the capital.

"Yunjuan, ask someone to pack up." Because she was about to arrive in the capital, Xue Baochai also got busy.Because there were a lot of things, Xue Baochai was still busy here until the boat arrived at the pier.

As soon as they touched the shore, the Meng family had already dispatched sedan chairs and vehicles with luggage waiting for a long time.

Although it was only over a year later, when Xue Baochai came back here, she felt that the capital was a little different from before she left, and it became more lively and prosperous.Because it was already evening, there were vendors shouting on both sides of the road.Xue Baochai also directed the little maid, got out of the car and bought a lot of snacks and came back.

After returning after a year, Xue Baochai entered Meng's house again, feeling strange.

When they got home, they left Yun Juan to take care of all the things she had brought back, and quickly found gifts for the girls and wives.Xue Baochai took Forsythia and a few maids to Liu's courtyard.

In any case, she is also a mother-in-law in name, and she just came back from a long journey, so she still needs to be full in etiquette.

Only when we got to the courtyard did we realize that several girls from the mansion and Mrs. Liu were there, and Meng's father was also waiting, which surprised Xue Baochai a little.Although she only stayed in Meng's house for less than a year and then followed Meng Shihan as a foreigner, it didn't mean that she didn't know Meng's father's temperament.In the past two years, Meng's father has been staying more and more in the courtyard of the young and beautiful Aunt Tao and Aunt Lian, and he will not come to Liu's place for almost ten days and a half months.

But now it's in Liu's yard, which is a bit surprising.Well, even though she was the one who came back, Meng Shihan didn't come back. She didn't think she had such a big face to make Father Meng wait for her.

If it's really for your own sake, I'm afraid you have something to say, right?

As soon as Xue Baochai came to the door of the house, she saw a pretty maid lifted the curtain and said crisply, "Grandma is back." Then she shouted into the room.

As soon as he entered, he only glanced at Xue Baochai, and found that apart from all the girls in the Meng family, there was a beautiful young woman standing beside Father Meng, who seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, with women's hair combed bun.

I also have an impression of this woman, Xue Baochai, who is Aunt Tao whom Father Meng loves very much.

Why is she here?Logically speaking, an aunt like her is not qualified to come and participate in an occasion like today?Could it be that something happened?

"Father, mother, the daughter-in-law is back." Although Xue Baochai's heart turned a few times, but there was no smile on Xue Baochai's face, she knelt down on the futon brought by the maid, kowtowed to Father Meng and Mrs. Liu, and said Said.

Father Meng nodded dispensably, but he is a father-in-law, so his attitude is not unusual.

On the contrary, Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "It's been a hard journey. But I've come back. Hurry up and pour some tea for Grandma." Then she asked Xue Baochai a lot about her and Meng Shihan's work outside Yangzhou, with a look While Xue Baochai felt a little uncomfortable with her loving mother's demeanor, she immediately became vigilant.

She and Liu Shi were just showing affection, and she even lost face to Liu Shi a few times. With her enthusiastic attitude now, although she said that Father Meng was by her side, she still felt a little strange in her heart.

Xue Baochai answered Liu's words one by one here.

And he distributed the gifts he brought back from Yangzhou to everyone.Soon Father Meng asked the girls of the Meng family to go back to rest, and the girls' family headed by Meng Xue knew very well that Father Meng wanted to ask about Meng Shihan's situation, and there were some things that might not be convenient for them to know.Even as delicate and savage as Meng Jie, she didn't dare to say anything, and retreated obediently.

Father Meng immediately asked here, all the things he used were based on Meng Shihan's situation over there?How is the reception?Have you encountered any difficulties at work?How is the human relationship?Wait for such a question.

Xue Baochai naturally picked up what Father Meng liked to hear and answered one by one.

Seeing that Aunt Tao was always there, Xue Baochai just pretended that she hadn't seen it.If something really happened, Father Meng would always speak up and be more patient, she would never fall behind.

Sure enough, after asking Meng Shihan a few words, Father Meng coughed lightly, looked towards Aunt Tao who had kept her head down, and said, "There is still one thing that needs to be taken care of by my daughter-in-law. Aunt Tao is now With a two-month body..." He was a little embarrassed and proud at the same time.After all, he is now in his forties, and his sons have already married wives, but he can still make a woman pregnant, so he is naturally very proud.

"...It's just that she's not in good health, she's very weak. The doctor told her that she wanted to rest for a good life. I was thinking that Yangzhou is cleaner than the one in the capital, and she can support people. Why don't you wait for your daughter-in-law? When I go back, I will also take Aunt Tao with me. I don't know what you want?"

In fact, according to his original plan, he didn't want to say such things to Xue Baochai at this time, and it should be the most suitable for Liu Shi and Xue Baochai to say this kind of thing.But when he discussed with Liu Shi, Liu Shi refused to agree.Although he was angry, he thought that his two daughters should not persecute Mrs. Liu too much.So he accepted Aunt Tao's instigation and spoke directly to Xue Baochai.

It's just that the number of times he saw Xue Baochai must be limited, perhaps only today when she comes back or when Xue Baochai leaves.

By the time we leave, it is probably too late, and there is not enough time to leave, so we can only bring it up now.

Hearing Father Meng's words, Xue Baochai almost subconsciously glanced at Liu's side. As expected, tears filled her eyes and her body trembled, as if she couldn't bear it.It was also Meng's father's words that were slapping Liu's face as a wife.

You must know that although Father Meng is saying that he loves his old son and his beloved aunt, in other words, it means that he is guarding against Liu Shi.Fearing that Mrs. Liu would harm her old man and beloved aunt, she wanted to help her.

Hehe... Men all over the world are the same.Meng's father usually looks at people who are more ethical, but to put it bluntly, he is nothing but a fool.

Although it is true that she and the Liu family have grievances, such grievances are not enough for her to 'provide' a concubine to help her father-in-law take care of the concubine and aunt...

Aunt Tao is an aunt, does she have such a big face?

"Father told me that the daughter-in-law should not resign according to the father's order, but the daughter-in-law has a very tight schedule this time. After the eldest sister's wedding, she will leave immediately. The total time before and after this is less than 20 days. This Tao Auntie is only two months pregnant, and the fetus is stable in March, and the journey to Yangzhou is very bumpy. I am afraid that Aunt Tao will not be able to bear it..." Xue Baochai glanced at Aunt Tao and said.

As soon as she said this, Father Meng frowned immediately.

Here, Mrs. Liu looked at Xue Baochai in surprise.
