On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, before dawn, the entire Rongguo Mansion was busy.Needless to say, most of the servants did not sleep all night, and the bluestone road that had been cleaned seven or eight times was carefully swept again, trying to make no trace of the snow that fell next year.

The bright red orangutan felt is spread all the way from the main entrance to the family-friendly villa. The bare branches on both sides are tightly wrapped with various silks, and the branches are hung with flannelette made of artificial flowers soaked in spices. The fragrance is blown into the air with the north wind. Blow out a breath of spring in the cold winter.

After breakfast, Baochai and Aunt Xue arrived.After being married for more than half a year, Baochai's spirit is not bad, but she is a little thinner than before she got married.Not to mention Dai Ke and the other little sisters, even when Aunt Xue asked, Baochai would only say that she was doing well in Zhenyuan Hou's Mansion.

Taking advantage of Baochai being called away by Wang Xifeng to help, a group of people asked Xiangling and Yinger to interrogate them privately.Yinger's mouth is strict, and her words are exactly the same as Baochai's.Xiangling was still young, although she kept in mind Baochai's words that she could not go back to her mother's house to complain about her in-law's family, but she was still tricked into talking a lot.

The first few months of Baochai's marriage went quite smoothly, the husband and wife lived in harmony, and greeted Mrs. Mu and Aunt Fan every morning and evening, and the rest of the time was all to herself.As soon as she entered the house, Baochai naturally wouldn't fight for the power of the housekeeper, even though she was much more legitimate than Aunt Fan.Aunt Fan was very satisfied with Baochai's knowledge, and turned a blind eye to her rewarding the servants of the Hou's mansion to win people's hearts from time to time.

Later, Mu Yan moved back to the second room.

The first thing Mu Yan did when he came back was to question Aunt Fan's status in the back house.An aunt, it's fine that Mu Yi didn't have a regular wife to take care of the second room, but she even reached out to the eldest room.Not to mention that now that Mu Yi is married, instead of handing over the matter of the second room to Third Grandma Mu, she even pretends to be a serious master and waits for Third Grandma Mu to pay her respects.

Mrs. Mu wanted to protect Aunt Fan, but now that Mu Yan's family is in prosperity, Mr. Mu is on Mu Yan's side, and he can only give in if he doesn't like it.Not only did all the affairs of the second room be handed over to Baochai, but Aunt Fan also had the right to buy the big house before, but now it is handed over to Grandma Mu.

Without real power in your hands, you have no income, and the servants who are too late to compliment on weekdays also start to neglect when they see people ordering dishes. How can Aunt Fan, who has been famous for almost 20 years, bear this.In less than half a month, Aunt Fan was bedridden because of an occasional cold.

After all, the second master Mu felt sorry for Aunt Fan, and asked Mu Yi and his wife to take good care of Aunt Fan, and he would take a look whenever he had time.In front of Master Mu Er, Aunt Fan Lihua pretended to be strong with tears in her eyes, and from time to time persuaded Master Mu Er not to anger Mu Yan.Turning around, all the grievances that could not be vented were directed at Baochai.

Baochai was tactful, and treated her servants more generously than Concubine Fan.Aunt Fan couldn't find fault with Baochai in the affairs of the back house, and Mu Yi was newly married, and he and Baochai were in love with each other. After thinking about it, Aunt Fan turned her attention to Baochai's belly.

"The third grandma has only been in school for half a year, and Aunt Fan looks like the third grandma can't bear children. Besides, the third grandma doesn't want to have a child so early. Does she think everyone is like her and gets pregnant right after she reaches her age?" Xiangling gasped However, the circles of her eyes were red as she spoke, "Which aunt is sick and has to be served by the serious grandma at the bedside, only the third grandma has a good temper, and someone else would have started to make trouble."

"Okay, okay, wipe it quickly, don't let Sister Bao see it," Dai Ke stuffed the handkerchief in her hand to Xiangling, and asked her to wipe her tears, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.Everyone knew that the Zhenyuan Hou's recognition of returning his son-in-law would affect Baochai, but they didn't expect Mu Yan to reach out to the back house so quickly, so that Baochai didn't even enjoy a year of peace.

Even after Jia's mother finished listening, she kept looking at Qin Keqing, knowing that Qin Keqing couldn't have predicted the current situation when she was helping to arrange marriage, so she still couldn't help venting her anger.The relationship between the Xue family and the Jia family has always been close, let alone the Xue family, even the Wang family will inevitably be unhappy because of this matter.

When Baochai returned home, Jiamu avoided it once. When she came back, she heard that Xue Baochai had a happy life, and finally everything was as usual.During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the two families had a happy reunion festival, so this time Yuanchun visits relatives, Jia Mu specially posted a post to invite Aunt Xue and Baochai to come and get together. Unexpectedly, it happened only a few months ago. big change.

Ever since Yuanchun named her concubine to build a family-friendly villa, Jia's mother has been worried.In the past, the promotion of a concubine was accompanied by the mutual honor and favor of the mother's family, but this time, only Yuan Chun was awarded the concubine title, and the Rongguo Mansion did not receive half of the extra decrees.Although Jia's mother spent most of her life in fighting in the back house, she definitely experienced a lot of storms and waves. Just looking at the leopard from the tube, she had a bad premonition.

Now the title of Rongguo Mansion has been passed down to the fourth generation, and if there is no turning point, it will end with Wang Xifeng's children.Of the three families that have made good friends with the Jia family, Wang Ziteng of the Wang family looks good at the moment, but the officials sent out are not as good as the Beijing officials.Her natal family's historian is quite beautiful, and her two nephews are favored and awarded titles.It's a pity that her elder brother has passed away, and her nephew pays respect to her, but it's not effective at all, there is no real benefit, this relative is just a show.

Besides, the Xue family has no title, but is extremely rich.Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue have a deep affection and always take care of each other.When Xue Pan had an accident, it was the Jia family who told Jia Yucun to protect him.Originally thinking about such a big favor, the Xue family would have to express it no matter what. How could they want to build a family-friendly villa, but Aunt Xue knew that the Rongguo Mansion was in short supply and didn't even offer to help.Now that something like Baochai has happened, it will be even more difficult to get Xue's help in the future.

Fortunately... there is also Decke.

Slowly rubbing her forehead, Mother Jia turned her attention to Dai Ke again.The Ningrong Second Mansion was originally from a military background. If they can catch up with General Gu and throw a few juniors who are still considered weapons to the army for training, even if they can't be appointed as marquis and ministers in the future, at least the Jia family will not be reduced. For the common people, at least it is a way out.

For the sake of the whole family, it doesn't matter if you don't have an old face!

"Old lady, the imperial concubine's concubine has already left the palace, the second master asked me to inform the old lady to prepare early," Jia Mu was thinking, and everyone came in to report.

Jia Yuanchun was about to arrive, Mother Jia didn't care about thinking about what to do in the future, so she took the female family members of the Ningrong Second Mansion to change clothes and prepare to welcome the noble concubine into the mansion.

The two sisters, Daiyu and Daike, and Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai's mother and daughter are of foreign surnames, and they are not allowed to meet the imperial concubine at will, so they did not go together.But Jia Yuanchun definitely wanted to see them, so he brought the maids around him back to the room to dress up.Baoyu is different from the two of them. Although Jia Yuanchun can only go to see him after he has spoken, he has to go with the men from the two prefectures.At first Baoyu refused, but finally he was persuaded by Xiren and stole two mouthfuls of rouge from Daiyu, so he reluctantly went to make peace with Jia Zheng, Jia Lian and others.

When Yuanchun's Luanjia actually arrived at Rongguo Mansion, it was already past Xushi.The lights of the entire Rongguo Mansion were lit.Jia Mu and other high-quality foreign wives hardly have a chance to eat in order to welcome him.Luckily, the two sisters Dai Ke didn't suffer that crime. They talked and ate dinner in the room, and at the same time asked Shumo Zijuan and the others to inquire about the news, in case they were unprepared when they were asked to meet.

"The imperial concubine and the old lady have returned to the main room from the garden," Shumo came back and said after about half an hour.After another cup of tea, Zijuan ran in and said that Yuanchun had invited Baoyu to meet him, and that the next ones should be the sisters Dai Ke.

Sure enough, before a stick of incense was released, people around Jia Mu called back, asking their sisters and Baochai mother and daughter to go to the front to meet the noble concubine.

Xu knew about Daiyu's marriage to Baoyu, and Yuanchun was very close to Daiyu. He pulled her and asked her about the books she had read, what she did on weekdays, and what kind of food she liked.

"All the daughters of the Lin family are so outstanding." After praising Daiyu, Yuan Chun called Daike to her face, "The Holy Majesty more than once regretted the untimely death of Master Lin, saying that without Master Lin by his side, even a person who knows how to look No. I heard that the two younger sisters are living in Rongguo Mansion, and when I left, I specifically told my family to take good care of them."

"Thank you, Lord Long En." After hearing this, Dai Ke and Dai Yu hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

"Get up quickly," Yuan Chun affectionately lifted them up after the two saluted.

Dai Ke stood still with Yuan Chun's hand, took two steps back, and whispered to Shumo to bring Shang Yu along.When the emperor said these words, it was not a pity that Lin Ruhai died, but he was praising Lin Ruhai's death for "deeply winning my heart".When mentioning the two sisters, I was afraid that Lin Ruhai didn't clean up the things in his hands before he died.

Since Shang Yu was with Dai Ke, he has been responsible for the safety of the book room.Jia's mother became more and more kind to Dai Ke, but it did not represent the entire Rongguo Mansion, and even Jia Lian and his wife could not understand the sudden change in Jia's mother's attitude towards Dai Ke.What's more, it's not just the masters of the Jia family who are interested in the property around their sisters, all the offshoot clans, servants and rough envoys, I don't know how many people want to get rich overnight.

With Shang Yu, these little thieves who would come out and wander around from time to time were completely helpless.Whether it was the side branch of Jia's mansion who made the excuse of going the wrong way, or the one who was caught by the window but argued that he was a flower house slave who sent flower arrangements to the two girls, all of them were thrown out of the yard by Shang Yu.

Usually, Dai Ke only felt relieved when she caught these people with bad intentions. The servants who were simply deceived by money were directly driven out, and those who were related to the Rongguo Mansion were happily handed over to Wang Xifeng, and she was left to worry about it. .But today, what if the emperor took the opportunity of returning to the mansion in Yuanchun to find out if there was something that shouldn't be left in Lin Ruhai's relics, and then was caught by Shang Yu as a thief...

Dai Ke suddenly felt that the future was dark.
