Xue Baochai, the belly of the Red Chamber

Xue Baochai ate dinner unhurriedly here, and let Yunshu Yunjuan wait on him, cleaned his face, sipped his mouth, changed his clothes again, combed his hair in a bun, and tidied everything up before taking Yun Shu Yunjuan went to Liu's courtyard with two little maids.

"Big sister, has this Mrs. Xue always been so squeamish? You sent someone over to inform her that you have something to discuss? But she still didn't come here so late. It's obvious that you, a mother-in-law, are not at all important. In your eyes? Such a daughter-in-law who doesn't know how to respect her mother-in-law will make her go away. It's just that you have a good temper, elder sister, and you can tolerate it." After waiting for half an hour at Liu's place, Xue Baochai was still missing. When he came over, Mrs. Cao felt a little impatient, and couldn't help complaining to Mrs. Liu.

Although Mrs. Liu complained about Xue Baochai's late disappearance, she was not as resentful as Mrs. Cao. One reason was that she was a step-mother-in-law, and her relationship with Xue Baochai had never been good.Secondly, it was because Meng Shihan never regarded her as a mother, and his attitude towards her was worse than that of his aunt at home.He even embarrassed her in front of Meng's father. Although Meng's father flashed disapproval at that time, he didn't say anything?

In addition, Meng Qing would tell Liu Shi from time to time not to conflict with Xue Baochai.Liu Shi still attached great importance to Meng Qing's daughter's words, so naturally she didn't feel much in her heart.

It's just that she has soft ears, and when she heard Cao's words, she also felt that Xue Baochai didn't take her seriously, so she showed displeasure on her face.

Cao Shi noticed this, and became more and more happy in her heart, only thinking that what she planned was more likely.On the other hand, Liu Yuhuan, who was sitting by the side, frowned in disapproval. She always felt that it was not a good thing for Mrs. Cao to belittle Mrs. Xue in front of her aunt.Although mother and aunt are planning for her wholeheartedly, she always has a strange feeling in her heart.

Just when Liu Yuhuan was about to open her mouth to remind Cao Shi, she suddenly heard the little maid report that it was Grandma who came.

"I've seen my wife, Aunt Cao." Xue Baochai walked in and looked around.There were only Liu Shi, Cao Shi, and Liu Yuhuan in the room, not even a serving maid, not even the bellflower that Liu Shi relied on so much.I don't know if I have to be busy or if I was deliberately instructed to go out.From Xue Baochai's point of view, the latter is probably more likely.

"Nephew and daughter-in-law are here." Don't look at Cao Shi who was extremely dissatisfied with Xue Baochai just now, but when he saw Xue Baochai himself, he was full of laughter.She is not a confused person, she knows that Xue Baochai still needs to nod her daughter's consent if she wants to succeed, and if it is done, her daughter will go to Yangzhou with Xue Baochai, although she and Han Geer are cousins ​​and have a closer relationship.With their support, Mrs. Xue can only treat her daughter kindly, but Brother Han is now in a foreign position, and it will take at least three years to come back.During this period, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and the daughter still had to make a living under Xue Baochai's hands.Her attitude is naturally better.

Seeing this scene, Xue Baochai knew that it was no good for Liu Shi to call her here.Especially when he saw Liu Yuhuan, he couldn't help but sneered.

Up to now, he is still planning to bring his daughter over.If it's really for the good of my daughter, can't I just find another family, marry and be a regular wife, and live a good life, can't I?If you have to rush to be a concubine, is this concubine so easy to do?

"I've seen my cousin." Liu Yuhuan bowed to Xue Baochai and said.

Xue Baochai nodded lightly, looked at Liu Shi and said, "I don't know if my wife called me over, but what do you want to say?" She was in a hurry here.After all, she was leaving for Yangzhou early in the morning the day after tomorrow.

Liu's temperament is weak and not good at words. After hesitating for a moment, she said cautiously: "Brother Han, daughter-in-law, it's like this. You see, it's been almost two years since you got married. You still haven't got a little stomach. Of course, I am not urging you, and I am not blaming you. It is just that our family is a single line, and we point to Brother Han to carry on the family. It is impossible to have no children. My master and I are also a little anxious here." The tone of the tone After a pause, she glanced at Xue Baochai, and saw that her expression had not changed, she was still smiling. This appearance gave Liu some courage, and then she continued: "You young couple Maybe I don’t understand. It’s strange to talk about this child. Often when one comes at the beginning, a bunch of them will come out. For example, when my natal cousin was married a few years ago, she couldn’t get pregnant for two or three years. In the past, I think the child is a little confused. It doesn’t look healthy if the doctor sees it. She is the same as you. The husband’s family is the only child, and he is waiting to pass on the family. Don’t be in a hurry. Later, her mother-in-law suffered a lot and asked her to accept it first. A docile concubine came in. This concubine got pregnant half a year after entering the house, and within a month my cousin got pregnant too. After that, the offspring became smoother. In the past three years, I have conceived almost every year, and every time son."

"...I also mean the same thing. Take a concubine first and bring a bunch of children out. I don't know what you mean?" At the end of Liu's words, she was really uneasy.

Xue Baochai glanced at Liu Shi, and it seemed that she was right.Hehe... No wonder Liu's head wife was suppressed by Aunt Tao's concubine. With such a temperament, it is surprising that she can marry Father Meng.

Seeing that Xue Baochai hadn't spoken for a long time, Mrs. Cao couldn't help but said: "Nephew, you are still young, so you may not know. There is a reason for this saying. If the ancestors stayed behind, there must be no mistakes. After all, Brother Han You're not young anymore." As he spoke, he gave his daughter Liu Yuhuan a meaningful look.

Xue Baochai looked at the inexplicably blushing Liu Yuhuan, who had a shy look on her face, and couldn't help but sneered and said, "I heard what my wife and concubine mean, do you want me to take Miss Liu in?"

Even if Liu Shi and Cao Shi are dull people, they can tell at this moment that Xue Baochai is mocking them?Speaking of this, Mrs. Liu still felt a little ashamed, and couldn't help lowering her head. Mrs. Cao, on the other hand, was always aggressive and arrogant, so she lowered her voice: "My niece and daughter-in-law are really saying that. Wrong. We also brought up this matter for your own good. I have a beautiful daughter as a concubine. Is it possible that I am not worthy?"

This meaning has already been said outright.

"Of course I don't deserve it. What kind of family is your Liu family? Don't you know? It is said to be a scholarly family, but if you don't have a wife who subsidizes you with money from the Meng family in private, you can live without worry. I’m afraid that the daily necessities are enough for you to have a headache. It’s just that you are your wife’s natal family, and it’s okay to make up some money occasionally. Now your heart is higher than the sky, and you first start thinking about rationing your daughter to Shihan. The Holy Majesty bestowed the marriage, and you still don’t know what kind of twisted thoughts you have? Does your daughter have other things to look at besides a face? In terms of family background, character, and talent, what point does she have that can match the time? Cold? Toad wants to eat swan meat, is he crazy?" When Xue Baochai said this, although there was no ups and downs in his tone, the content was not polite at all.

When Cao Shi heard Xue Baochai's words, his expression changed on the spot, "Xue Shi, you are really deceiving people too much. What do you mean by that?"

"What? Can't you even understand the literal meaning?" Xue Baochai's tone can be said to have not changed at all.

"Mr. Xue, are you looking down on my natal family?" Mrs. Liu was already dissatisfied with Xue Baochai when she was provoked by Mrs. Cao earlier. Now that Xue Baochai said such words nakedly, even if she is a clay figurine, she will have three points anger.

Xue Baochai said lightly: "My wife's words are a little off. If you want people to respect you, you must at least recognize your identity first. I have never seen such a thick-skinned person who took the initiative to take his daughter and niece. Give it to others to be a concubine, and let others make troubles." I don't even know why Father Meng was blinded by something back then, so he insisted on marrying Liu Siluo.

Mrs. Liu was not a character who was good at words, and Xue Baochai felt so guilty and ashamed at the moment when she saw it like this, she couldn't say a word.

"All of this is my fault. It's my wishful thinking. I like my cousin wholeheartedly. I beg my mother and aunt regardless of face. If my cousin wants to blame me, it has nothing to do with my mother and aunt. I just hope that my cousin Fulfill my heart for my cousin." Liu Yuhuan didn't hate Xue Baochai's words just now, but since she had already spoken, she didn't care about anything, since there were no outsiders here anyway.I can only make a blog myself.

Xue Baochai looked at Liu Yuhuan coldly, and said, "It's the first time I've seen a boudoir daughter recommend herself to be a pillow so shamelessly. It's really a great skill."

Liu Yuhuan's eyes were red all of a sudden, and tears fell drop by drop.

"Mr. Xue, you are really deceiving people too much. You have committed the two crimes of talking and being unfilial today. I will ask Brother Han to divorce you as a wicked woman." Cao jumped up and said.

Xue Baochai just ignored her, stood up, and said to Liu Shifu, "Madam, I really have something to do here. Since my wife asked me to come, there is nothing important. I will go back first." It’s gone.” As he spoke, he walked out the door, but when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and said to Mrs. Liu, “Madam, it’s better not to do such things in the future, just for the sake of the third girl. The four girls and the five girls have accumulated virtues. After all, they are not too young. After two years, they will have to talk about their marriage. Once such a thing is reported, it will be extremely bad for the wife and the girls. "

Liu Shi was still angry at first, but when she heard Xue Baochai's words, her face suddenly turned pale.

Xue Baochai is a person who is never willing to suffer. Although she did not take this kind of thing to heart, Liu's doing such a thing really made her feel sick, especially about the son she said. Every time she thinks about it, she feels uncomfortable all over, as if she is holding her breath.

That being the case, Xue Baochai also felt that he didn't need to be patient anymore, so he directly told Danqing and Danxin to find an opportunity after she left to teach the Liu family a good lesson.As for the Liu family, she will naturally not let it go. Since she is already the head wife in name only, then let her be more thorough.

Although the eldest girl, Meng Xue, is already married.

But no, the second girl, Meng Xia, has also reached the age of marriage?It just so happens that I should also learn how to manage housework, so that when I get married, I will be complained by my in-laws for being a cute girl.

"Grandma, everything has been settled." Lian Qiao came over and said.

Xue Baochai nodded lightly: "Okay. Are everything ready?" They will leave tomorrow.I brought a lot of things with me when I came here, and similarly, I have to take some with me when I go back.Of course, when there is no comparison.

Lian Qiao hurriedly replied, "It's all healed. To be on the safe side, Sister Yunjuan and Sister Yunshu are checking one by one to see if there is anything left behind. Don't worry, grandma."

"Well, the two of them are doing business. Naturally, I am very relieved." Xue Baochai nodded after hearing this, and stopped asking.

We will leave early the next morning, and I'm afraid we won't be back in a short time.Before leaving, Xue Baochai visited Aunt Xue again, and talked to her about mother and daughter for a while.Although Aunt Xue was a bit reluctant here, but now most of her thoughts have been put on the big fat grandson, which somewhat dilutes Xue Baochai's reluctance to leave.He kindly told Xue Baochai to go back, seeing that it was getting late, so he let Xue Baochai go back.

Coming out of Aunt Xue's yard, Xue Baochai talked to Xue Pan again for a while.

The key point is to make Xue Pan pay more attention to Aunt Xue, and not let her communicate with the Jia family too diligently.Now Jia's family can be said to be burning with fire, because Jia Yuanchun, who was named a virtuous concubine, unexpectedly got pregnant within a few days after she came back.

This news made Jia's family suddenly become embarrassing, not to mention how happy Jia's mother and others were?Even Wang Ziteng was slightly excited for a long time.However, he is more knowledgeable than everyone in the Jia family. Although he is happy, he doesn't show it.It's just that people quietly sent a lot of things to Mrs. Wang to Jia's house.And Mrs. Wang felt that she was the grandmother of the future prince, so she spoke with a lot of arrogance.

According to what my sister-in-law Fang Shi said, two days ago, Mrs. Wang actually came here on purpose to show off in front of Aunt Xue for a long time.

The deep palace is dangerous, Jia Yuanchun doesn't know if this child will be born?What's more, I don't know whether my stomach is male or female for three months.So what if he is really a prince?Not being a heir or an elder, they have nothing to do with it at all, not to mention that they don't even know if they can grow up.

It's too early to shout now, is she afraid that Jia Yuanchun doesn't have enough enemies in the palace?

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Xue Baochai.After confessing some words to Xue Pan, he also left soon.

Early the next morning, accompanied by the morning dew, Xue Baochai sat on the boat to Yangzhou again, and this time he might not be able to return in a short time. .
