Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

Xue Pan worked hard to catch spies in Jinling to find out the details, but Aunt Xue in the capital was worried.

Ever since Xue Pan left the capital for Jinling, she packed up all her family property and stayed at Jia's house.

In addition to often going to the old lady Jia's house to chat with her, the couple rarely went to Mrs. Wang's house on weekdays.

Now that Yuanchun had been granted the title of concubine, the Jia family was busy building a garden and could not take care of Aunt Xue. Therefore, ten days and a half passed before Mrs. Wang remembered that her sister had not been in her house for a long time.

Just when she wanted to talk to Aunt Xue, the new concubine of Prince Jing suddenly came to the door.

"Okay, why did she come to our house?"

Mrs. Wang was puzzled. She does have contacts with the Zhen family in Jinling. The property of the family's ancestral home is transported to Kyoto with the help of the Zhen family during the New Year ceremony.

After all, the family is full of old relatives, and if it is kept by the clan, half of it will be taken away by greed. That is to say, the Zhen family is well-behaved and observant of etiquette. Every year during the New Year, there will be more.

Since the Zhen family was the only one in Jinling who could make a fortune, Mrs. Wang used the Jia family's wealth to do business with the Zhen family. The antique items that were difficult to sell in their family were also sold overseas by the Zhou Rui family's son-in-law Leng Zixing with the help of the Zhen family.

Because of this layer, the relationship between the two families is very close.

But just because the second girl of the Zhen family married Shuirong, King Jing of Xinbei, who was so highly ranked, she had to kowtow when they met, so she really didn't want to see her.

Princess Beijing also knows etiquette very well, so she never comes over privately to trouble anyone. Unexpectedly, this time, I didn't even download the post and rushed over.

This is really strange.

"I didn't know your Majesty was coming, so I was negligent."

Although Mrs. Wang was full of slander, she still confessed her sins in a polite manner when they met, so as not to be accused of neglect.

"I didn't say anything, so I became a bad guest."

Princess Beijing was dressed as a horseman and archer. She was about the same age as Qin Keqing. She quickly helped Mrs. Wang up.

"Because there is nothing important, I didn't post on purpose. Just because today the prince and I were hunting in the suburbs of Beijing. The prince said that he is now on good terms with the brother of the Xue family. He has been back to Jinling for a few months, and he asked the prince to help him at that time. He takes care of the family."

"I happened to hear here that the girls from your Jia family are all pretty good, so on a whim, I came to take a look at some of them."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she thought that Princess Beijing wanted to give Shuirong a concubine.

Did you fall in love with Xue Baochai?

She herself was also optimistic about Baochai. If she hadn't already had Daiyu, she would have wanted to give him Baochai and kiss him.

If Baochai could match the prince, she would not be considered a lowly married woman in terms of her family background.

Mrs. Wang thought of this and hurriedly called Baochai Daiyu and Sanchun over.

Shi Xiangyun happened to be there, and she was also familiar with Princess Beijing, so she was the one to make jokes and get everyone acquainted.

From then on, Baochai became the guest of Princess Beijing, and was often called to play by Princess Beijing.

Aunt Xue was both happy and worried when she saw this and didn't know what to do. However, Xue Baochai was as steady as ever about this and did not feel at all that she was trying to be superior and demeaning herself.

Seeing her like this, Jia Mu also looked at her very highly. He asked all the sisters in the family to follow him, and also arranged for Sister Feng to raise the standard of treating Baochai, as if she was regarded as a member of the Beijing Wang family.

Daiyu felt at ease because of this and treated Baoyu without worrying about gains and losses. Baoyu alone sighed, lamenting that another good girl was about to fall into the mud pit.

"Why bother? Is it possible that we all don't get married and play around you every day to avoid falling into the mud? What kind of people have we become?"

After Daiyu asked, feeling that she was asking for trouble, Shi Shiran left. Baoyu knew that he had said the wrong thing and had offended Sister Lin again, so he felt unhappy.

But he was secretly annoyed because Baochai was targeted by the powerful. He wanted to meet King Beijing several times and wanted to see if Baochai was a good match for him.

Daiyu understood from this that Baoyu did have her in his heart, but there were also others. Even if Baochai doesn't fight with her, she won't be able to settle down.

Because her storms were all brought by Baoyu.

From then on, Daiyu's attitude towards Baochai became much better.

The attitude of Daiyu and the people of the Jia family changed, but it didn't matter to Baochai. There was only Aunt Xue, and worrying about gains and losses made her feel uncomfortable.

"Oh! It's all your brother's fault. How could you just agree to this without asking me? Besides, being a concubine..."

Where can I live a good life as a concubine? Even if she is the prince's concubine, she still depends on the princess's face. Baochai is gentle and generous. If she hadn't been born this way, she would have been a concubine.

Aunt Xue only felt that Baochai had been treated badly.

If this incident hadn't happened, she and Baochai would have been able to seize the title of Baoyubao's second grandmother, but now that Princess Beijing is favoring her drama for the King of Beijing, Baochai will have to stay away from Baoyu. Pay attention to your daily routine.

Only then did Baochai remember Xue Pan's statement. She found the sachet that Xue Pan left for her, and found out that Xue Pan had left her a letter about this.

"Since my sister is ambitious, how can she give up?"

Baochai was shocked to see it.

She didn't expect that the person who understood her best was this "stupid brother".

Baochai has always been ambitious, and her pride makes her unwilling to be inferior to others, but etiquette and rules tell her that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue.

Women shouldn't be the ones to take the lead.

After her father died, she buried her former self. She just wanted to be her mother's little cotton-padded jacket and comfort her mother.

After being implicated by her brother and cut off from Qingyun Road, she only cried a few times and her brother apologized and that was it.

But Baochai never settles for mediocrity, especially after meeting Lin Daiyu in Jia Mansion, her strong will was aroused.

Therefore, she, who clearly wanted to humble herself in front of Sanchun, repeatedly competed with Daiyu. Later, when Baoyu came to her, she did not want to back down.

But deep down she despised Baoyu.

Baoyu is considerate and caring for all living beings, which is good and is indeed suitable for her to handle. However, Baoyu is too willing to be mediocre and does not plan for the future, which she looks down upon.

The Xue family already has Xue Pan, who is stupid and dull and has no progress. Adding another Baoyu to the family will be a disaster for the family.

But Baoyu is already the best husband candidate that Xue Baochai can get. If he doesn't choose him, who else can he choose?

At this time, Xue Pan gave Baochai a new choice, to be the concubine of King Shuirong of Beijing.

Unlike Baoyu, King Shuirong of Beijing was powerful and held fiefdom and military power. Counting in Beijing, these are all high-quality stocks.

When Baochai lost her spot in the selection, she really didn't expect this possibility.

Therefore, even if she was laughed at, Xue Baochai still went to the Beijing Palace to meet the princess with a calm face, and used her unique personality charm to win the princess's heart.

Originally, the Princess of Beijing just followed her husband's orders to visit Baochai. After getting along for a long time, she felt that Baochai knew etiquette and observed etiquette. They came from the same camp, so she decided to become sisters with Baochai.

Having someone he knows well is much safer than having King Beijing go out and mess around with women.
