The treasure in the palm of the Red Chamber

For what Aunt Xue said, Xue Biao naturally agrees a hundred times. He has long wanted to move back to the old house. Although it is a single-family house, it is the territory of Jia's family after all, and it is inevitable to live here.But, "Auntie, if you move out rashly, won't the Jia family have any objections?"

Aunt Xue didn't take it seriously, "I'm going to move back to my own house. Do I need permission from Jia's family?"

"Auntie, my nephew doesn't mean that. I just want to say that now the elder sister is quite favored by the good concubine in the palace, and now even Concubine Yi and Concubine De are very fond of the elder sister. Nephew thought, with Jia Judging from the past performance of our family, I am afraid it will not be so easy for us to move out." Xue Biao said.

Aunt Xue sighed, "It's true."

"What's the matter? It's worth the embarrassment of my aunt!" Wang Xifeng's sharp voice suddenly sounded at the door. Aunt Xue and Xue Biao immediately glared at the maids guarding outside the door. Wang Xifeng didn't care at all, and smiled and helped Ping'er's hand came in, "Auntie, don't be angry, I didn't let them report."

Aunt Xue smiled and stood up, "What's there to be angry about, come in and sit down, you have a body, why are you still running around? You are not afraid of being bumped into!" Thick cushions were placed on the chair before Wang Xifeng was asked to sit down.

Xue Baoqin came in with a cup of red date tea in person, "Second Grandma is pregnant now, so she can't drink tea. This is red date tea. Second Grandma should drink this!"

Wang Xifeng smiled and said thank you, then took a sip from the teacup, "Auntie, don't blame me for coming in a hurry. I can't help it either. No, the old lady learned that the concubine Yi and the concubine De concubine sent a reward, so she hurriedly let her The mandarin ducks went to my yard, no, I had no choice but to run away. Not to mention me, even the second wife, who has always been bedridden, sat up after hearing the good news from my aunt, if it wasn't for Jin Chuan'er When someone persuades her, she will come over to congratulate her aunt in person!"

Aunt Xue frowned, as expected.

Wang Xifeng continued: "I heard what my aunt said just now. Auntie doesn't have to worry. Xue's family already has their own house in Beijing. If you insist on moving out, it's hard for the old lady to say anything. It's just auntie. It needs to be done quickly. But, aunt, you have to know in your heart, I guess the old lady will invite aunt to sit down soon. At that time, it will be up to aunt herself."

Wang Xifeng didn't speak very clearly, but Aunt Xue and the others had already understood. Aunt Xue patted Wang Xifeng's hand with a smile, "Understood, Auntie appreciates you!"

After seeing off Wang Xifeng, Aunt Xue looked at Xue Biao and said, "Fortunately, our luggage is all in order. Except for daily use, everything else is packed, and Baoqin's dowry is placed in the house. In this way, Baoqin, take someone to pack your luggage, Xiaoer finds some buddies, and move them into the house one by one! The old lady, let me tell you."

Xue Baoqin was a little worried, "Auntie, can you do it alone?"

Aunt Xue is no longer the former Wu Xia Ameng. It is said that a woman is strong as a mother. For Pan'er and Baochai, she will not retreat easily.

"Don't worry, I won't let the old lady have a chance to speak."

Sure enough, that night, Aunt Xue received an invitation from Mother Jia, saying that the peonies in the yard were blooming and they wanted to get together.

Aunt Xue was already mentally prepared, she brought some gifts from Concubine Yi, Concubine De, and Concubine Liang, and happily went to the banquet.

The banquet was placed in the garden. There were two tables in total. Mother Jia and Mrs. Xing sat at one table, while Yingchun and Tanchun sat at the other table.Seeing that Aunt Xue had arrived, Mother Jia smiled and wanted to stand up. Aunt Xue walked over quickly and helped Mother Jia to sit down, "What is the old lady doing, and what is the relationship between us? Do you need to be so polite?"

Mother Jia was taken aback, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, what my aunt said is very true. Baoyu, come and help your aunt to sit down."

Jia Baoyu was sitting at the table of Yingchun, but a girl in red clothes gathered together and talked. Hearing Jia's mother calling him, Jia Baoyu felt a little disappointed, and sat there with a small temper and didn't want to get up. The red-clothed girl pushed him coquettishly, and Jia Baoyu stood up reluctantly.

Mrs. Wang also came dragging her sick body. She was a little unhappy to see Jia Baoyu like this, but she still apologized and said with a smile: "Baoyu is still a child, so don't blame my sister!"

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Where is this? Baoyu is still young!"

When Jia Baoyu heard what Aunt Xue said, he immediately felt a sense of confidant, "Auntie is right, we are all one family, how can we be so polite, it's not the first day that Auntie stayed at our house, don't you know Reason!"

Aunt Xue sneered slightly in her heart, seeing the embarrassment on the faces of Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue pretended not to see it, and looked around for a week, "Hey, why didn't Miss Lin come?"

Seeing that Aunt Xue changed the subject, Mother Jia breathed a sigh of relief, patted the aggrieved Jia Baoyu, and let him talk to the woman in red, "Yu'er is benevolent and filial, next month is her mother's birthday, Yu Er said that she would go to Yuanji Temple to eat a month of fasting and pray for her mother. No, because of this matter, Baoyu made a fuss during the day! I can’t delay Yu’er because of Baoyu, can I? I took it and played with Baoyu. No, I didn’t even come to congratulate my concubine’s family on the big happy event.”

Aunt Xue did not disappoint Mother Jia, and said along the topic of Mother Jia: "I remembered this, and I also brought some things that the ladies rewarded. Although your house does not lack these, after all Mother's reward, Yinger."

Ying'er came with two little maids holding a bunch of things, and handed them to Yuanyang.

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "I have already divided them up! There are even the Yingchun sisters, but I didn't expect a new girl to come to the mansion, but I missed it."

After Mrs. Wang heard this, a trace of resentment flashed across her face. Without Lin Daiyu, she called Shi Xiangyun, hum!All day long, I know how to play around with Baoyu and how to match Baoyu.

Mother Jia was fine, so she took advantage of the opportunity and called Shi Xiangyun over.Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun were talking happily about stealing wine at night, Shi Xiangyun was called over by Jia's mother again, Jia Baoyu immediately felt very impatient, but Shi Xiangyun knew something, coquettishly annoyed him to retreat, and whispered to him He said a few words in his ear, which made Jia Baoyu turn his anger into joy.

Only then did Shi Xiangyun walk up to Mother Jia, snuggled into Mother Jia's arms, and called out sweetly, "Old Ancestor, what did you call me?"

Mother Jia put her arms around Shi Xiangyun with a smile, "I don't understand etiquette! This is your Aunt Xue, hurry up and greet your aunt."

Shi Xiangyun stood up with a smile, and greeted Aunt Xue politely, "Hello, Auntie, Xiangyun greets Auntie."

Aunt Xue pulled Shi Xiangyun over with a smile, looked him up and down carefully, and kept praising, "Okay, he is a beautiful boy, the old lady is blessed!" Then, she took off a red jadeite bracelet from her wrist and gave it to Shi Xiangyun, "I came here in a hurry today, and I didn't prepare your gift. This bracelet is my dowry when I got married. I didn't wear it often. I saw it when I was packing up today, and I actually brought it with me. So I was waiting here! This red jadeite , you have to be a young and lively girl like you!"

Shi Xiangyun naturally recognized that this red jadeite was worth a lot, probably worth more than all his jewelry. He was overjoyed at the moment, but he just took a look at Jia Mu as usual, and seeing Jia Mu smiling and nodding, she smiled at Xue My aunt thanked me: "Thank you, Auntie."

After a while, everyone chatted and laughed while eating.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang glanced at Wang Xifeng from time to time, but Wang Xifeng pretended not to see, and told Mrs. Xing that the elder sister was talking nonsense, and Mrs. Xing was full of words about her granddaughter.Aunt Xue thought it was funny, and joined in. The three of them formed their own group, and they talked with great joy.Youshi naturally also saw the embarrassment in this, but she was too young to offend anyone, so she just sat on the sidelines, smiled and ate some food and wine.

At the other table, Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun had a neck-to-neck conversation, while Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun and Li Wan gathered around and whispered about family matters, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

When Jia's mother saw that the table was full of children and grandchildren, but none of them spoke for herself, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart!Mrs. Wang was also secretly very dissatisfied with Wang Xifeng. Where did this Feng girl's former cleverness go?Why are you so confused at this time!Looking at the old lady's expression secretly, Mrs. Wang couldn't help becoming anxious, it was about her own Yuanchun, that's all, she'll come out with it!

"Sister, I heard that the women in the palace have rewarded a lot of things today. It is said that it is because of Bao Yatou's good service inside? Sister, you are blessed. , unlike my Yuanchun, who is too honest and doesn’t know how to make a living! Even now.” Mrs. Wang wanted to say that she was pitiful, but she was proud, but she couldn’t tell. After all, where Aunt Xue used to be, she always took one mother at a time!

Aunt Xue sneered slightly in her heart, and finally couldn't help it, but her face changed, with a very sad look on her face, "Sister, don't you know my heart? Why would I be willing to suffer for Bao girl! If it wasn't for Pan'er's failure to live up to expectations, Bao girl's heart is attached to the family, how could I be willing to give up! My Bao girl grew up at home with Qianjiao Bai, and now she has entered the palace and is doing the work of serving others. It hurts like being stabbed by a knife! Fortunately, now that Tiao'er and Qin'er are here, they can relieve my pain a little bit! Speaking of which, old lady and sister, I have something to say to you two."

Mother Jia saw that Aunt Xue had dragged the topic away with a few words, and couldn't help becoming anxious, "Madam, if you have anything to say, you may as well talk about it later."

"I'm very anxious about this matter! Now that Pan'er is getting older, although I'm not good enough, I have to think about Xue's family. I have to find a marriage for him in a year or two. Tiao'er is only three years younger than Pan'er, so Hurry up, let alone Baoqin! After all, Mei Hanlin’s family is clean, so I pay more attention to this aspect. For the sake of these children, I have the audacity to say goodbye to the old lady and sister. When our family moved to Beijing, the old house was empty for a while. It’s been a long time since I lived in your mansion, and now I’m finally leaving. The sisters can also breathe a sigh of relief, it’s a lot less work!” Aunt Xue said with a smile.
