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

King Beijing was not a fool, so how could he not accept the wealth and beauty that came to his door?

Therefore, Shui Rong and the Xue family already have a tacit understanding. When his great cause is completed, the glorious Na Baochai No. 2 will be his concubine.

But before the business is accomplished, the Xue family needs to continue to work as an internal support in the Jia family so that King Beijing can have a bright future.

The Xue family is now standing on the top of the mountain, and the servants below are acting strangely.

Baochai didn't know about it originally, but she had a previous life, and now she compared it with her and knew in advance that something big was going to happen in the near future.

But now I see that she hasn't done anything yet, and the situation has changed.

In the last life, the Jiangnan War suffered a huge defeat, and more and more ordinary people were involved.

Many relatives of the Jia family, such as Wang Ren, Xue Baochai, Xing Xiuyan and Li Wan's widowed cousin, will appear at the Jia family this year. This is a happy reunion caused by the war.

Of course, it is too early to say this now. It is only April and May, and the war has not yet expanded. What Baochai is thinking about is the Xue family's current business in Jiangnan.

The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first. When the general of the Zhen family wants to fight, the first thing he uses is local food and grass.

The Xue family owns a grain store, and since the price of rice fluctuates, her family will naturally have news.

But Baochai was Daiyu in this life, and she also had shops in Jiangnan. As soon as the war broke out, the salt merchant sent news to the Lin family.

Therefore, Baochai knew about it early and the Xue family's shop acted secretly. This was different from her previous life. She immediately found the little girl near the Xue family's yard and found out about the Xue family's involvement with King Beijing.

After she sent the little girl away with a copper plate, she looked at the starling outside the window and was stunned.

Baochai No. 2 actually wants to be King Beijing's concubine. No wonder she hasn't been around Baoyu recently.

In the last life, the Jia family has been in decline without even a struggle. The King of Beijing didn't bother to plot against the Jia family, so there was no need to go out of his way to win over the Xue family.

Today, the Jia family's Ningguo Mansion has not changed, but Rongguo Mansion has improved. Although the new husband who welcomed the new year was an orphan, he was also a hard-working general.

Because of him, the Jia family can help each other with Prince Teng of the Wang family.

This stabilized the two areas of the border defense in the capital, and the general of the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River could go about it freely.

As long as he wins the war quickly, it will not cause serious damage to the country. This can effectively prevent foreign invasion on the border, which is equivalent to continuing the fortune of the country and the Jia family.

Baochai didn't expect that she would gain so much just by making a few small changes in choosing a husband for the Spring Festival.

Now that Rongguo Mansion has General Jade, it has regained its vitality.

But relatively speaking, if the fate of the country must perish, the Jia family will face greater harm.

The Xue family, which had declined together with the Jia family in the previous life, actually quietly took refuge with another family.

Baochai couldn't help but smile as she listened to the little maid teasing the myna and telling him to say auspicious words.

In his previous life, this myna could recite poems, but she never taught him how to recite poems, so naturally he couldn't. Now I am learning auspicious words from the little girl, which is both tacky and festive.

"Hehehehehahaha!"

"Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Zicuckoo thought her girl was smiling strangely and couldn't help but come over to check. When I saw the little girl teaching myna to speak strange words, I thought I had found the source.

"The girl is the Laughing Starling. It scared me. But it rarely makes the girl happy. Snow Goose opened the money box and rewarded the maid who feeds the birds with money."

After Zicuckoo finished speaking, Xueyan was immediately ordered to turn around, not wanting to be summoned by Baochai again.

"Wait a minute, since we want a reward, why not reward everyone in the yard. It's hot today and everyone has worked hard. If you get the money, you can get an extra bowl of mung bean soup."

Baochai smiled and seemed extremely happy. In fact, no one could understand her mood, but now she felt sad that it was going to rain.

"Hey!"

Xueyan agreed abruptly, and the Xiaoxiang Pavilion immediately became a sea of ​​joy. The maid who received the reward thanked her repeatedly, and no one cared about Baochai's weird smile just now.

"What's going on? Did you pick up the money?"

Baoyu happened to come to see Baochai and saw that everyone in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion was happy. He just thought that Sister Lin was also happy. He didn't want to tell that something was wrong as soon as they met.

"My sister is unhappy."

He walked up to Baochai and looked at Baochai's face carefully.

"Why am I unhappy?"

Baochai's heart curled up and became slightly hot. I heard Baoyu smile caringly:

"I was wrong. I was unhappy before, but now it's good to see others happy. What happened to my sister today?"

Baochai looked sideways and saw that Baoyu was paying close attention to her. Such thoughtfulness made Baochai turn her head and cry.

She was Baochai in her previous life! Looking at Baochai No. 2 now, it's like looking at myself in the past.

When I was Baochai, I didn't feel any grievance at all, but now I am watching with cold eyes, but I feel extremely grievance.

The Xue family never asked Baochai what kind of husband she wanted. In her previous life, she was pushed to Baoyu, and in this life she was pushed to King Beijing.

She is just like that myna. Whether she teaches memorizing poems or teaching auspicious words, she does it all to make others happy. But the myna learns these things to survive.

Xue Baochai's life was too humble, especially compared to Daiyu who had no father or mother. It was too miserable.

Obviously both of them are equally smart, but Daiyu can get all the love and is born with precocious wisdom. But Baochai spent his whole life pursuing love and was forced to mature prematurely.

If she didn't experience Daiyu's world and only looked at herself, she wouldn't be so sad. But with such a person in comparison, she felt aggrieved for herself in her previous life and Baochai No. 2 in this life.

Why can't people live equally and freely? I just want to compare and compete. Make those at the bottom look up to those above, and make those above look down on you and be proud of them.

Baochai has experienced the lowest level. Now she is standing tall, but she can't laugh. She only feels sad.

"Sister Lin."

Baoyu worriedly handed over the handkerchief and asked Baochai to wipe his tears. For the first time, he didn't understand why Sister Lin was crying. He just felt that the tears were not shed for him.

This discovery dismayed him.

He doesn't understand Sister Lin today, their hearts are far apart.

"Why did the Second Master bully our girl again..."

Zicuckoo has long known that Bao and Dai are always good and bad together. Her girl didn't cry just once or twice.

But it hasn't been like this for a year or two now. I don't want to be happy now, so I make Baoyu cry again.

"How come Mr. Bao still looks like he was a child!"

Zijuan sighed, her girl's health has gotten better over the years, so don't let this trivial matter cause trouble again.

She was about to persuade Baoyu to leave, but when she didn't want to, she saw her girl pulling Baoyu.

"It's not his fault. Zijuan, please go out first. I have something to ask Baoyu."

Baochai thought to herself that she could not rescue Baochai No. 2 from a prince. She only thought according to her heart, knowing that with her arrogance, she would definitely not want to be King Beijing's concubine.

She couldn't even look down on the emperor, so how could she look down on an idle prince?

But Baochai No. 2 can't help herself, she will only compromise. Others just thought that she had climbed up a high branch, like a blue cloud, and she felt so beautiful in her heart!

Others don't understand her, but she does. She wanted to save her former self.
