The Housekeeper's Daughter-in-law of the Red House

Both Jia's mother and Wang Xifeng agreed, and the marriage was settled. Jin Wenxiang and Heping'er's opinions are not important and can be ignored.

After solving a major matter, Shulan went home in a good mood, and after waiting for Jia Mu and Jia Min to send people to send congratulatory gifts, Shulan's mood was even better.The gift is not worth anything, but what she wants is the love that someone has received from her. It is said that money is easy to repay and love is hard to repay.She was originally a joke, but who would have thought that it could really be a prophecy, and it was a cheap gain for nothing.

Because Jin Wenxiang and Heping'er are both servants of the Jia family, their marriage is very simple. Although the three books and six rituals are not less, they are not as cautious as Lin Shuyu and Xu Hao before marrying their wives. Many things are simplified.

Shulan invited someone to see a good day, and then sent a greeting card to Jia's mansion, ready to go to Nacai.

Normally, Jia's mansion doesn't have any major issues, so they quickly replied and told Shulan to just go there that day.So on that day, Shulan went to Jia's Mansion with the things she had decided on, but she didn't expect to see another group of people in Jia's Mansion.

"Greetings to the old lady, good luck to the old lady." Shulan said with a smile.

"Is this here for Nacai?" Mother Jia asked after calling Shulan, even though Jin Wenxiang was from her yard or the older brother of Yuanyang, the most proud man around her, Jin Wenxiang still couldn't get into the eyes of Mother Jia. Moreover, Wang Xifeng was very positive about this matter, so she didn't have to ask her grandson to rush to do it, and just watched from the sidelines at that time.

Shulan pursed her lips and smiled, "The old lady laughed. I'm a quick-tempered person. The old lady and the eldest grandma finally agreed to this matter. I have to hurry up and get Ping'er."

A few days ago, Shulan just handed in the post, and the masters of Jia's house all knew about this matter, and what Jia Mu said now was just an idle sentence.But the girls and Jia Baoyu didn't know about it, so they hurriedly congratulated Ping'er, "Sister Ping'er is very happy."

Ping'er blushed when she heard the words, and hurriedly apologized and ran to the inner room.

"Oh, Ping'er is embarrassing, she needs to go out to avoid it." Wang Xifeng laughed loudly from the side.

Just when everyone was laughing more, a female voice came in, "What more can you say, Feng girl, it's so lively." Immediately after that, a man wearing a maroon patterned satin trim black base multicolored woven gold flower pattern round neck double-breasted gown A middle-aged woman in an ivory horse-face skirt came in from outside.

Later, I followed two outstanding girls, one with a black and shiny bun on her head, a honey-colored padded jacket, a rose-purple two-color gold and silver mouse shoulder-to-shoulder jacket, and a scallion-yellow damask cotton skirt. .Lips are red without spots, eyebrows are green without painting, face is like a silver basin, and eyes are like water apricots.

The other wears a long vest with a bamboo-green inlaid collar, light gray and green satin with autumn chrysanthemum pattern, cross-collar, light blue short stand-up collar, and a jacket with a brick red sweat scarf around his waist, and lotus-colored silk trousers underneath.

Although the clothes and jewelry were not as good as the one in front, they firmly attracted Shulan's eyes. Apart from her natural beauty, the cinnabar mole between her eyebrows was the main reason.

Who is the girl with a cinnabar mole on her face who appeared in Jia's mansion?Do you still need to guess!An obvious answer, so that there is no need to guess who the two in front are, it is not who Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai are!

Although Shulan guessed the identities of these people, she couldn't tell them on the spot, and waited patiently for someone from Jia's mansion to introduce her.

Seeing Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai coming, Mrs. Wang smiled a little more, and said: "Let's talk about the marriage of Ping'er, the girl next to Feng girl, the old lady and Feng girl have already agreed."

"Oh, I'm so happy!" Aunt Xue has been in Jia's mansion for a few days, and of course she knows Ping'er's status in Wang Xifeng's place, so she couldn't help asking, "Which family is it?" As she spoke, she put her eyes on Shulan .

The last time Aunt Xue and Shulan met was when Jia Min went south to Jinling with Lin Jin in her arms. It has been about 20 years now, and the appearance of the two has also changed a lot. Seeing that the other party recognized him, Shulan guessed it, not recognized it.

"The kid from the Jin family who is in charge of purchasing in the old lady's yard." Mrs. Wang responded.

purchase! ?

Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were stunned for a moment. If you say that Xue's family is worthy of being a businessman, everyone in Jia's house is sweet-mouthed. They have only lived in Jia's mansion for a few days, so they recognize everyone in Jia's mansion. , I have inquired about all the more obscure things.

But no matter which version it is, there is nothing that matches the person in front of me. At first glance, who knows that it is a servant of Jia's mansion, and those who don't know think it is some official wife.

"My aunt hasn't seen her for so many years, she still looks the same!" Shulan interrupted suddenly.

As soon as Shulan said this, Aunt Xue was even more at a loss. Only people from Jia's mansion were called "Concubine", but she had never seen this one among the people in Jia's mansion, so she couldn't help but look at Mrs. Wang.

"This belongs to Lin Zhixiao's family. Although she has gone out, her nephew and niece are still working with the old lady." Mrs. Wang explained with a smile.

Oh, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai immediately realized that although Lin Zhixiao's family had been released, their legend was still circulating in Jia's mansion.

Especially Xue Baochai couldn't help but look at Shulan more, and lowered her head before Shulan noticed.Their family came to Beijing now, not only because Xue Pan beat someone to death in Jinling, but also because she wanted to be a candidate for the post of "Talent Talent, Praise for Goodness".Thinking of the relationship between her daughter-in-law and the palace, Xue Baochai's eyes flickered.

"Yo, it's because I'm getting old and my eyesight is bad, so I didn't recognize it." Xue Baochai was thinking about something. Aunt Xue was also thinking about something at this time. After hearing Mrs. Wang's words, she hurriedly apologized, and she also wanted to leave. Xue Baochai was successfully selected into the palace by following Shulan's path, so she was unwilling to offend her for a small matter.

Shulan said with a smile: "My aunt is joking. I am a person on a famous brand. Besides, I haven't seen you for so many years. It's normal for my aunt to not recognize me. This is the girl from my aunt's family. She's so handsome."

Speaking of Xue Baochai, Aunt Xue's eyes were obviously proud and complacent, and she introduced Shulan with a smile. Because she didn't know what everyone in the Jia family called Shulan at this time, she asked Xue Baochai to call Shulan "Mrs. Lin".

If it was in other places, Shulan would inevitably answer, but in Jia's mansion, Shulan really didn't dare to answer, took Xue Baochai's hand and said with a smile: "Mrs. My aunt is Mrs. Lin. Just call me Shulan." He said to Xue Baochai, "Don't listen to your mother, good boy. If you like me, just follow Master Zhu Lian, Second Master Bao Just call me 'Sister Lin'."

"Oh, Sister Lin is taking advantage again. Such a flowery and beautiful fairy girl calls you 'sister'. You are taking advantage of it. It is reasonable to call you sister with a burnt paper like me." Wang Xifeng said half-heartedly. True and half joked.

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter again.

Shulan spat on Wang Xifeng, and said angrily: "The old lady is right, you are a hot pepper, but you are very choking." Ignoring Wang Xifeng, Shulan just pulled Xue Baochai and said: "Leave her alone, a good boy will take it." Let's go." As he spoke, he took off a gold chiseled bracelet inlaid with southern beads from his wrist and put it on Xue Baochai's hand, which was regarded as a meeting gift.

"This..." Xue Baochai looked at Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue with a troubled face, and saw that they both nodded before accepting it, and thanked Shulan with blessings.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng on the side pretended to be regretful and said: "Oh, sorry, I know Sister Lin too early, and I didn't get the meeting gift from Sister Lin." When she met Shulan, Shulan was still working as a servant in Jia's mansion. Where there are servants who give the master a meeting gift, there is no reason for that.

Shulan said with a half-smile: "Who made Grandma grow up a few years old? She's not as young as Miss Xue now."

"Well, you sister Lin, you are calling me old in a different way, I can't see you tearing your mouth." Wang Xifeng refused, and stepped forward a few steps with a vicious look.

Shulan hurriedly hid behind Xue Baochai and said with a smile: "Look, grandma has become angry from embarrassment because of what I said. If you want me to tell you, grandma should spend more time with these new and tender ones, so that things can be divided into groups and pass by." After a while, the grandma will definitely become tender again."

When Wang Xifeng heard this, she was even more reluctant, but because there was Xue Baochai in front of Shulan, she was a little timid.Of course, both of them were just joking, so there was no need to be serious.

After flattering Jia's mother in Rongxi Hall for a while, she retired to Wang Xifeng's yard, and Wang Xifeng had to take a look at the acceptance ceremony for Ping'er.

Because Shulan solved Ping'er's problem for Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng has a good attitude towards Shulan now. They chatted while walking, and talked about Xue's family while talking.

Shulan rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Grandma, don't blame me for meddling. If you want to talk about my aunt's affairs, I shouldn't be talking too much, but I am really confused about this matter, so I have to ask Grandma a little bit."

"Sister Lin, you are not an outsider, just ask, and I will tell you what I know." Wang Xifeng said casually, seemingly very naturally.

"It's not a big deal. How did I hear that someone called Ms. Xue "Miss Bao" before? This can be regarded as a violation of the name of Master Bao. A good "Miss Xue" is called "Miss Bao" instead of "Ms. Bao". ..." Shulan asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Speaking of it, this can be regarded as one of the mysteries of the original work. It is fine to say that the original work does not know the taboo things, but judging from the change of "Lin Hongyu" to "Lin Xiaohong", everyone still knows the rules of avoiding taboos.

But Lin Daiyu's name is "Ms. Lin" and Xue Baochai's name is "Ms. Bao", which is really weird.Even if it is because Xue Baochai is older than Jia Baoyu, there is no need to avoid Jia Baoyu's name, but there is a very good title of "Xue girl" that can be called, but it is really puzzling to call that "Bao girl" instead.

Some people say that Mrs. Wang made this happen. Don’t you see that in the original book, everyone is called a girl, either by the girl’s last name or by the last word.For example, Shi Xiangyun's "Miss Shi" and Xue Baoqin's "Girl Qin", but Xue Baochai is not called "Miss Xue" or "Girl Chai" but "Girl Bao", which happens to match with "Second Master Bao". One pair, Mrs. Wang's purpose is self-evident.

But Shulan didn't think so. At this time, without Lin Daiyu staring at Jia Baoyu, whether Mrs. Wang could have a crush on Xue Baochai is the same thing, so it is possible that Xue Baochai made such an obvious move when she hadn't been selected yet. What's up?This is not in line with common sense.

That's why Shulan asked Wang Xifeng about it.
