Red Mansion points are hard to earn

Chapter 46 Baochai presents a poem

"Old lady, what should I do? The daughter-in-law returned the gift list from the palace." After Lin Hanchuan was sent away, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but panic.

"Wait a minute, there's no reason for the palace to withdraw the marriage proposal." Mother Jia scolded, this daughter-in-law can handle small things, but when it comes to big things, she is short-sighted and ineffective.

"But girl Lin has been promised by His Majesty, if there is no reason to change it, can the things of the palace be kept?"

"Confused, what is the value of the thing? If you return it, won't you offend the Beijing Palace for nothing?"

"Old lady, you can't take it in and you can't take it back, and you can't get it back. How should you deal with it?"

"Call the boss and Zheng'er over here."

"The old lady called her son for something?" Jia Amnesty was rather reluctant, now he is covering the sky with one hand in the mansion, living a comfortable life, and he is too lazy to come to Jia Mu to be wronged.

"It's not about Lin Yatou. Her sister said that Lin Yatou has been accepted by His Majesty as the young son of the Shangshu Mansion. I asked you two to see how to deal with the gift list of the Beijing Prince's Mansion?"

"What? This is very difficult, the palace's gift list is absolutely non-refundable." Jia Amnesty rubbed his hands together and said.

"Brother, why did you say that? Since the niece has promised someone, the gift list from the Beijing Palace should be returned." Jia Zhengyi retorted sternly, and now he is the one who is in charge of the Rongguo Mansion.

"Second brother is confused. The palace came to ask for marriage. If we returned the gift list, wouldn't we hit the prince in the face in public?" Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Zheng like a fool.The power of King Beijing Jing should not be underestimated, even if his father was alive, he would not be easily offended.

"Boss, what do you think?" Mother Jia interjected.

"The niece can't be counted on, so I have to choose another girl of the same age in our mansion to marry. The face of the Guquan Palace is very important. Fortunately, the Beijing Palace only came to propose a marriage, and the outside didn't know that she was our niece, otherwise the dignified prince You can't grab a white-bodied young man from the Shangshu Mansion. Where can you put the prince's face?"

"That's very true. What's more, Miss Lin is living away from the mansion now. Although the marriage has to be approved by my old lady, she is from the Lin mansion after all. When the prince came to propose marriage, he was talking about the girl in our mansion. " Jia Mu nodded and said.

"It's just the girls in our house, but who is more suitable?" Jia Zheng only knew how powerful he was after hearing this.

"My daughter has a promise." Don't make any plans to welcome the spring, I don't care about the rest.The lord was interested in the niece. If other people marry in the past, will there be good fruit to eat?Since the division of the mansion, the sons and daughters have been filial, father and son are in harmony, Jia She occasionally thinks back, and only feels that the first half of his life was like a dream, how can he live as realistically as he is now.The daughter-in-law will give birth this year, and I look forward to a big fat grandson.

"The only one in this mansion who can compare to Miss Lin is Miss Xue." Jia's mother said, even if Yingchun is not engaged, she is not in her consideration.

"Mother, Sanya is a good girl. She married into the palace, so she can support Baoyu in the future," Jia Zheng said.

"Old lady, what the second brother said is true. How can Miss Xue, the daughter of a merchant, be worthy of the position of side concubine in the palace, are you afraid that our family will not offend the prince enough? As the second brother said, no matter how good Xue is, she is not ours. Family." Although Jia Amnesty separated the family, he habitually took care of the Rongguo Mansion when things happened.

"Mother, elder brother is right. If the third girl can climb to the position of side concubine, it will not be in vain for the old lady to educate her for so many years."

"Go ahead, let me think about it again." Jia's mother had to admit that Jia She's words were justified.

"Mom, I found out, is it true that the Prince of Jing's Palace has divorced the hairpin?" Xue Baochai didn't care to stay in front of Baoyu's bed, and hurried back home.

"What your aunt said could be wrong. The front foot of the palace was hired, and the back foot Lin girl was pointed out by His Majesty to the young master of the Shangshu family. Now the gift list sent by the palace has become difficult, and I can't return it. I can't accept it, your aunt and the others are worrying about this, what can my son do?"

"The family status of the Shangshu's mansion is not low. The gift list of the Beijing Palace will be refunded." Baochai was stunned for a long while and said.

"My son, after all, Shangshu's mansion is not as rich and honored as Wang's mansion. If this gift list is withdrawn, where will the face of Beijing Wang's mansion go? If it is said, people will laugh at it." Aunt Xue sighed, this Lin girl has no father and no mother , It really is a blessing.A well-behaved prince's mansion came to propose marriage, and in a blink of an eye, he was matched with a Shangshu mansion.

"I don't know why Miss Lin caught the prince's eyes." Baochai bit her lower lip and said.

"I know this." Xue Pan heard his mother and sister gossiping, and hurriedly lifted the curtain and came in.

"What does it have to do with you? I've been out messing around for a day, let's stop for a while." Aunt Xue said and ordered Xiangling to come in to serve.

"It's fine if you don't listen, Xiangling will go back to the room with me." Xue Pan pouted, turned around and was about to go out.

"Brother wait a minute, but have you heard any news?"

"Uncle Zhen practiced riding and archery in the East Mansion, and people even came to the palace, saying that the prince got a peach blossom poem that he never forgets, and asked about it being written by the sister of the Lin family. It's a pity that she is already married, so she has no choice but to win her sister. "

"Is what brother said true? Where did the prince get it?" Baochai hurriedly asked.

"It is said that I got it during a youth outing outside the city a few days ago, my sister will believe it or not."

"Why are you talking to your sister?" Aunt Xue hurriedly taught Xue Pan.

"What I said is absolutely true. It is said that the prince doesn't even know whether a real person is white or black, beautiful or ugly. He just reads a poem and feels unrequited love. Let me say that my sister is usually capable, and she can't tell the difference between beauty and ugliness. You can read and write, so why not write dozens of poems in one go, and my brother will send them to the palace for you."

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xue Baochai blamed in his mouth, but he couldn't help being moved in his heart. He stayed up all night and neatly copied the poems he wrote on weekdays on the best poem paper. .

"My son, aren't you?" Aunt Xue couldn't help but pity her when she saw that Baochai's eyes were red from boiling.

"Mom, it's just a try. If I can get lucky enough to marry into the palace, I will naturally have a way to make my mother and brother rich and worry-free for the rest of their lives. If I can't get into the eyes of the prince, I just need to spend a few pieces of paper to hide things from my aunt and their family. That’s all.”

"Then let your brother do it?"

"Mom, according to my brother's temperament, won't everyone in the world know about it? Hearing that the prince of Beijing is good at poetry, mom just quietly bribed a few servants of the palace to let them recite it wherever the prince passed by. Give some money, no one would be willing to do so.”

Aunt Xue has always relied heavily on Baochai in her family affairs. Hearing what she said, she hurriedly ordered people to do it.

"I don't know what Sister Bao is doing at home these days? But it's been a long time since I came to the garden to manage the affairs." Shi Xiangyun wondered. In the past, Xue Baochai would chat and laugh with Baoyu in the room besides discussing matters.Now it has been three days without a trace.

When Tanchun heard what she said, he was also puzzled.Then he sent the waiter to Aunt Xue.

"How, sister Bao is not feeling well?"

"Miss Bao looks good. She said that the house has worked hard for the girls these days. Aunt Xue is not feeling well. She will take care of her at home for a few days and come in when she is ready." The secretary replied.

"That's all right. Since my aunt is ill, I'll ask someone to send some medicinal materials. Let Sister Bao just stay at home and take care of my aunt. It won't be too late to come in when she's done."

"Girl, after I went, I also took a look at Aunt Xue. I saw her lying on the couch. Although her temples were loose, she seemed to be recovering from illness, but she described it well. When I went out, I met Xiangling and asked her aunt. How did she get sick? I was surprised when I saw her, but then I hesitated a few words, as if I didn't know."

"Auntie is ill, Xiangling cannot be ignorant, or else Auntie and Sister Bao are hiding something." Tanchun took a pen from the pen holder and played with it.

"Could it be that Miss Bao didn't want to be in the garden, so Auntie pretended to be sick?" The servant guessed.

"How is it possible? Sister Bao has used the housekeeper to win over many servants. There must be something more important to let go suddenly."

The master and servant guessed for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

"Is Shi Shu back yet? What does Sister Bao say?" Xiang Yun figured that Shi Shu would be back soon, so he hurried over and asked.Now she is quite entangled with Baochai, she was upset with Lin Daiyu before, so she was happy to see Baochai approaching her second elder brother.Now that Lin Daiyu has withdrawn, she has the support of the old lady, and she is bound to fight for one jade.Then Baochai became an enemy again. She liked Baochai all the time, but she didn't want to let her second brother go out.

"My aunt is not feeling well, and Sister Bao is taking care of her at home." Tanchun said.

"So that's the case, then I'll go see my aunt too."

"Miss, have you heard about it?" Aunt Zhao hurried to Tanchun's room.

"What is Auntie in a hurry, and who is she going to gossip about?" Tanchun said impatiently.

"I know that the girl doesn't want to see me, but it's about the girl's important matter, but I have to make a plan for you."

"I don't need to worry about this matter, my wife is there anyway."

"I know you only stick to your wife and don't think of me as your own mother, but your wife doesn't necessarily regard you as your own daughter. If your wife takes advantage of the Beijing Palace, Miss Bao, let's see where the girl will cry " Aunt Zhao was not in a hurry, she picked a chair and sat down.

"Where did Auntie start talking about this?"

"Didn't the Beijing Palace come to ask your sister Lin to be a side concubine? Now that your sister Lin has promised someone, naturally someone has to make up for it."

"What does Auntie mean by that?" Tanchun's heart was pounding.

"The master just told me. The old lady called the elder to discuss the matter with the master. She wants the girl to marry into the palace for your sister Lin."

"Is this true?"

"I know you don't believe me, but this is absolutely true." Aunt Zhao swore.

"Wait a minute, aunt, I believe you." Tan Chun stroked his chest and said calmly.

"Although it's a certainty, we still have to beware of that girl from the Xue family." Aunt Zhao's intuition has always been very accurate.

"Sister Bao is not from our family, so what can we do to guard against her?" The second sister has already promised someone else, and she will leave the cabinet next year.Fourth sister is young, isn't she the only one who is about the same age as Sister Lin?

"The old lady doesn't want Baoyu to marry that girl from the Xue family, and wants to send her to the palace."

"Master agrees?" Tanchun asked anxiously after hearing this.

"Naturally I don't agree. How can such a good thing benefit outsiders. Besides, although the girl crawled out of my stomach, in terms of family status, she is much better than that precious girl."

"The side concubine of the palace?" Tanchun murmured.

"That's right, although she's not as good as your elder sister in the palace, she's still a concubine. I'm here to congratulate the girl first. I only hope that the girl will become prosperous in the future. Don't forget that she crawled out of my stomach. Anyway, I will support her." some of your brother."

Tanchun's heart was turbulent, and Aunt Zhao was still chattering, so she had to deal with it patiently, and she left after coaxing Aunt Zhao to her heart's content.
