The Historian of the Red Chamber has a daughter

Mrs. Wang went back anxiously, and Aunt Xue was also waiting anxiously. When she saw Mrs. Wang coming back, she immediately greeted her, "Sister, how are you?"

Mrs. Wang pretended to be calm, and shook her head slightly, "Don't worry! Baochai's matter is a foregone conclusion, and the old lady has no way to recover. My sister can just rest assured!"

Aunt Xue felt relieved when she saw Mrs. Wang's convincing words, and then a smile appeared on her face, "Sister, I received a good item in a shop yesterday. It is said that it is the emerald imperial concubine bracelet worn by Concubine Yang. It is priceless! My son originally planned to give Bao girl a dowry, but sister, you also know that Bao girl has never loved these things, so she fell in love with the imperial concubine bracelet at a glance, and said that in our family, no one is worthy except the empress. Make it!" As he spoke, he took a nanmu box from Tong Xi's hand, opened it and handed it to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang looked down, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Although she had seen many rare treasures, the jade bracelet in front of her was known to be top-grade, crystal and exquisite, smart and lovely, "It really is a treasure! "

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "How? Is it worthy of the status of empress?"

Mrs. Wang picked it up and took a closer look, only to feel that the tentacles were warm and moist. Hearing what Aunt Xue said, she hurriedly declined: "How can this be done? This bracelet is very valuable, I can't take it!" Although she said so, But he kept playing with the bracelet in his hand, reluctant to let go.

Aunt Xue saw it and knew Mrs. Wang's temperament, and said with a smile: "Sister said that! It is said that this bracelet was worn by Concubine Yang Guifei back then. It is said that the ancestors of that family were born as guards, and they got this bracelet by chance. It was worn by the noble concubine, and it has always been regarded as a family heirloom, handed down from generation to generation. If it weren't for the poor descendants and gambling debts, the family really couldn't afford a cent of money, and the house and land were sold for nothing. It was clean, and in the end they almost sold their sons and daughters. The family really couldn't think about it, and finally thought of this bracelet, so they took it as a pawn. Tell me, the family has reached this point, so they are willing to pawn it. Bracelet, you can see how precious this bracelet is! Who else deserves such a precious thing, except your empress?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang felt extremely proud. She always believed that Yuan Chun, who was born to her, was the best girl in the world, not to mention a noble concubine, even a queen.Now hearing what Aunt Xue said, I feel very proud. "Since that's the case, I'll accept it for my mother. Let's take it as Bao girl's kindness to my mother!"

Seeing that she had accepted it, Aunt Xue was relieved, and the two sisters chatted and laughed for a while, Mrs. Wang even kept Aunt Xue for lunch, but Aunt Xue declined, saying that she was worried that Baochai would be at home alone.Mrs. Wang knew that Xue Baochai had gone home now, so she didn't stay with Aunt Xue.

After Aunt Xue went back, Xue Baochai was sewing by the window, and when she heard Aunt Xue's voice entering the room, she raised her head and asked, "Did Auntie take the things?"

Aunt Xue nodded and sat down opposite Xue Baochai, "I accept it."

Xue Baochai frowned, "As far as I'm concerned, it's not very good to keep that bracelet for my brother to marry in the future. Why do you have to give it to your aunt? That bracelet is so precious, if you send it to the palace, don't cause any trouble!"

Aunt Xue took a sip of tea before she said, "My son, you don't know what's going on here. These days, I saw that your aunt's complexion is very bad, so I asked someone to inquire quietly. What happened. Don't think that the empress came out of your aunt's stomach, but she was brought up by the old lady. Don't underestimate the old lady. She has been able to rule the Rongguo Mansion for so many years. Your aunt is now the mother of the noble concubine. , I don’t dare to confront the old lady openly, so I know her ability. I’m afraid that your marriage with Baoyu will change! Fortunately, your aunt gave us reassurance and let us rest assured. After a while, we should give Your brother promised to marry. Now that our family and Concubine Xiande are married, your brother's marriage can also be on a higher level. As long as your brother's marriage is settled, I can rest assured."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Baochai lovingly, "Is that Baoyu coming here often these few days?"

Xue Baochai blushed after saying a word, "Mom! What are you talking about!" After speaking, she covered her face in shame and got off the kang, and went to the inner bedroom.

Aunt Xue also laughed, and followed her, "My son, why are you ashamed of me? I have been in the mansion for so long, and I understand that this Baoyu is the lifeblood of the old lady and your aunt. As long as you keep Baoyu under control, you will have nothing to worry about in the future. You know the situation of our family. Although we have a little money, your brother is not up to date and has a stubborn temper. Maybe he will cause trouble again at any time. Mom You and Baoyu are doing everything together, so that when your brother gets into trouble in the future, the Jia family can help! Although he is a nephew, it is not as important as Baoyu's uncle! My son, mother knows, marrying Baoyu is a must. I have wronged you, but what can I do? Who let you have such an unworthy brother! If your father is still there, we don't have to." At the end, Aunt Xue was so choked up that she couldn't speak.

Xue Baochai's eyes were also red when she recalled the teachings of her deceased father in the past. The mother and daughter were speechless for a while, and wept relatively.

Outside the window, Shi Xiangyun was standing there with an embarrassed expression on his face, neither entering nor leaving.Yinger also stood there blushing.

Shi Xiangyun heard that Xue Baochai was not feeling well, so he planned to visit her today. Lin Daiyu stayed up late last night to read a good book, and she is still sleeping, so Shi Xiangyun came to Xue's house alone with his maid, and happened to see Yinger When she was about to come in, she stopped Ying'er and said she wanted to scare Sister Bao.

Ying'er knew that the sisters were used to playing like this on weekdays, so she didn't care, so she was obedient and didn't make a sound.

Shi Xiangyun knew that Xue Baochai was doing needlework by the window of the East Wing, so he quietly came to the window of the East Wing, intending to open the window suddenly to scare her, but he heard the conversation between Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai.

At this time, the mother and daughter in the room were weeping at each other, and Shi Xiangyun couldn't go in anymore, so he stood on tiptoe, walked away quietly, and then waved to Ying'er.Yinger blushed and walked over quietly, Shi Xiangyun said hesitantly: "I won't go in. These are some supplements, you can find a suitable time to talk to Sister Bao! As for the words just now, I just treat them as I haven't heard of it. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. "

Ying'er blushed and nodded gratefully, "Thank you Miss Shi!"

Shi Xiangyun quietly left with the people.On the way back, she sighed, "Xiaohan, don't reveal a word of what you heard today!"

Xiao Han nodded, "Got it, girl."

Shi Xiangyun originally planned to go back to Yilan Courtyard directly, but thinking that Lin Daiyu should still be resting at this time, going back would inevitably disturb her, so he went to the garden, and saw Jia Baoyu hurried over, "Hey, Sister Yun! Where is sister going?" Jia Baoyu called out from afar.

Shi Xiangyun originally planned to pretend that he hadn't seen him and just walk around with his head down, but Jia Baoyu yelled reluctantly. Shi Xiangyun couldn't help but roll his eyes. Does this guy have the consciousness of being engaged?Do you want to discuss with that pineapple cake and let him and Baochai get married?

Shi Xiangyun pretended not to hear, quickened his pace, and hurried in another direction.

Jia Baoyu hurried to catch up, and stamped his feet on the spot annoyed, "Sister Yun, what's the matter? She clearly heard my voice, why did she turn a blind eye?"

With such depression, Jia Baoyu went to Xue's house, ready to confide his inner troubles with his confidant elder sister.Because he found that not only sister Yun, but also the second and third sisters are not getting close to him these days, and only the fourth sister treats him as before.But I don't talk to my fourth younger sister, and it's no fun to play with her.

Xue Baochai listened to Jia Baoyu's complaints dumbfounded. Is he just naive or stupid?You are already engaged, so of course Yingchun Tanchun and the others have to avoid suspicion. Is it possible that they still want to get along with you as before? Do you want their boudoir reputation?

Even though he thought so, Xue Baochai understood Jia Baoyu's temperament. If he really told him that, he would definitely get into a quarrel, so Xue Baochai could only persuade him softly, "Baoyu, the sisters are growing up day by day. Now we have to talk about marriage. Sister Yingchun is a year older than me. Now you and I are engaged, and Sister Yingchun may also be engaged. At this time, it was time to avoid suspicion. You have always respected and loved sisters. , why don’t you understand the sisters now?”

Jia Baoyu's eyes widened, "Sister Bao means that they won't get close to me because I'm engaged? Then why should I be engaged? Why should the second sister be engaged? We sisters should be intimate together. Don't you get along well?"

Xue Baochai endured the desire to roll her eyes, and still patiently persuaded: "Baoyu is talking nonsense again. The sisters are all going to marry when they grow up. Is it possible that you want to keep the sisters at home for the rest of their lives? Go ask the second sister and the third sister. Sister and the others, would you like to stay at home as an old girl for the rest of your life? If you say such nonsense again, be careful that it reaches the ears of the second master, and then you will have to suffer again. Why bother?"

Jia Baoyu lowered his head with a sad face. He was still very afraid of the master, and it took him a long time to say: "Sister Bao, if we get married, won't you leave me? Will you stay with me forever?"

Xue Baochai blushed and bowed her head in silence. Jia Baoyu couldn't wait for her answer, so he hurriedly asked, "Sister Bao, you are talking, aren't you?"

Under Jia Baoyu's questioning, Xue Baochai finally gave a soft compliment, and Jia Baoyu nodded happily when he heard that, "That's great! If Sister Bao is with me, even if the sisters are gone, I will be happy too." of."

The author has something to say: Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue outside the house were a little surprised when they heard this, but finally Baoyu had the heart to say such a thing.

Ying'er hesitated a little, and it took her a long time to go forward and tug on Aunt Xue's clothes, "Ma'am, just now Miss Shi came here, and she didn't go in because she saw that the room was inconvenient. Before leaving, she left some supplements and said It's for the girl's body." She didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear that Aunt Xue would blame her!Thinking about it, Ms. Shi probably wouldn't say it either!

Aunt Xue snorted, "Where is the thing? Let me see!"

Ying'er took Aunt Xue to the cubicle. On the table were the things that Shi Xiangyun brought. Aunt Xue looked through them one by one, "The things are good things. It seems that this flower Xiangrong is for Miss Shi." She has earned a lot of money! The same is true for Miss Shi, who has no father or mother, but she is never short of good things around her. Whether it is the old lady of the Shi family or the old lady of Jia's mansion, they all value her! Hey, you say, Tell her to the uncle, okay?"

Aunt Xue suddenly said such a sentence, Yinger looked at Aunt Xue dumbfounded, this is too whimsical!Miss Smith and Grandpa?What's the situation!

The more Aunt Xue thought about it, the more she felt that this idea was good.
