Concubine Xue's family in the Red Chamber

As soon as spring begins, Ning Rong Street, which has been quiet for the whole winter, becomes more and more lively. People come and go, and it looks very lively. Various shops and small stalls on the road are open for business.

Before noon, a long carriage team was slowly walking towards Ningrong Street. The young man who rode at the front and saw that he was the master was not bad, but the corner of his mouth was always smiling, and his eyes were messed up everywhere. Take a look, and add a few strokes of debauchery and foolishness in vain.

The young man was followed by four sedan chairs and a long carriage, and each carriage seemed to be full. With such a long line and so much luggage, the common people onlookers couldn't help but guess the identity of this group of people.

In the boundary of the capital, the common people are more or less self-conscious. When they see well-decorated sedan chairs, carriages or teams on the road, they will consciously give way. This place is no different from other small counties. Officials and titles cannot be offended. Heaps.

You know, there is an old saying that goes well, in the capital, when a brick falls, nine out of ten people are officials, and the remaining ones have relatives who are officials.

In the same way, as long as the dandies in the capital have a good tutor, no matter how noisy they are, they will be much more obedient than the dandies in other provinces, even if they have a stronger background and cannot be provoked.

Don't mention the censor first, just say that if you accidentally kick the iron board, the whole family will lose their heads every minute, and the adults of any family will more or less take care of it.

The convoy went deeper and deeper towards Ningrong Street, and stopped at the gate of Rongguo Mansion after a while. Xue Pan raised his head and glanced at the gate of Rongguo Mansion. Rong Yan, the mood is even better right now.

"Grandma, girls, you've arrived at Rongguo Mansion."

The servant behind Xue Pan yelled at the sedan chair at the back, and the porters put down the sedan chair on their shoulders consciously, and the nuns and maids standing beside the sedan chair raised the door curtain to help the people inside come out.

A very well-maintained woman dressed in gold and silver slowly came down from the front sedan chair. This woman was wearing a brocade cloak and all kinds of delicate and precious jewelry. The only thing on her head was a longan. With the big Nanzhu, it can be seen that this person is extremely rich.

The next pretty girl came out of the second sedan chair, her face was quite ruddy, she was only about 10 years old, but she had a delicate and generous face.

The girl was not well dressed, with a few golden hairpins on her head, and clothes made of Sichuan brocade, but she looked a bit old.

In the next sedan chair, a younger girl stepped down. This girl was completely different from the girl standing in front. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also extraordinarily gorgeous. It looks like a pain in the neck.

Not only that, the clothes on her body and the pair of gold bracelets on her hands are all exquisite and expensive, and the aura of wealth and nobility that is born all over the body can't be stopped.

The girl who got off the last sedan chair was older, and the mole between her eyebrows looked quite extraordinary, but she didn't wear any jewelry on her head, and her clothes were much worse, so she was better than those walking girls. Just a little bit.

Aunt Xue supported Nanny Zheng's hand, and looked up at the very grand gate of Rongguo Mansion, with a brighter smile on her face.

"Mommy, this Rongguo Mansion is worthy of being the Duke's mansion. No matter how much money Xue's mansion has, it's not so grand."

"Isn't that what grandma said? Even if the Xue family is rich, some things still can't be used."

Waiting for the masters to get together, Aunt Xue pulled Xue Baochai and Xue Pan beside her, and instructed carefully, "It has been bumpy for so long, and finally arrived, Pan'er, Baochai, you will enter this honor later." The gates of the state mansion are all well behaved, especially Pan'er, when you see your uncle, you must not mess around."

Xue Pan was quite obedient at the moment, and casually nodded his head to show that he understood, but his eyes were still floating around, and after a while, they stayed on the girl Xiangling behind.

Xiang Ling lowered her head and followed behind Xue Baolin, daring not to speak from the beginning to the end, Xue Pan looked at it for a while, and the corner of her mouth twitched, as if thinking of something good.

Rongguo Mansion has long heard that people from Xue Mansion are coming, and now the concierge immediately opened the gate of Rongguo Mansion as soon as he heard the movement.

Zhou Rui's family had been waiting at the door for a long time, and now when the door opened, they ran out excitedly to greet him, before they approached, they saluted Wang Wanjun.

Aunt Xue looked this woman up and down, feeling quite familiar, "You are my sister's dowry girl."

Zhou Rui's family nodded, "Auntie, didn't the slaves come from the palace? Now, the concubine can just call the slaves Zhou Rui's family. It's so far away, is the concubine tired? Come in with the slaves. These few days Here, the second wife has been watching desperately, just waiting for the concubine."

When Aunt Xue heard this, her face became more amiable, "It's my sister who has bothered. I'm flattered to be looking forward to me so much, so let's go in quickly."

As soon as Zhou Rui's family raised their feet, they unconsciously looked at the girls behind them. Didn't they hear that the concubine only had one son and one daughter?Why are there three girls standing there now?These two girls, especially the one standing in the middle, are not bad looking at all, and their clothes are even more luxurious.

Aunt Xue looked back at Xue Baolin, and frowned, "Zhou Rui's family, don't hurry up, be careful that your wife knows that you are delaying and beat you, and follow behind, they will enter through the corner door."

"Oh, my aunt is leaving now."

Hearing what Aunt Xue said, Zhou Rui's family lost interest in the two little girls in the back, so they walked in with their mother and son through the main entrance of Rongguo Mansion.

As soon as the three of them walked in, the door that hadn't been opened for a long time closed again.

"Girl, why don't you leave?" Nanny Liu, who was following behind Xue Baolin, looked a little helpless.

Xue Baolin stood at the door, looked up at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, there was no movement for a while, all the servants of Xue Mansion looked at her, the atmosphere was strange and a bit awkward.

The servant of the Rongguo Mansion looked at this one, then at that one, and finally the corner of his mouth twitched, what the hell, he could crawl out of his concubine's stomach if he had the ability, what's the point of standing like that.

Wang Momo sighed again, stretched out her hand and pulled off Xiangling's cuff. Xiangling looked up at her, then nodded and walked to Xue Baolin's side, and said softly, "Girl, why don't you go in? There are so many It’s not good to be surrounded by people.”

Xue Baolin frowned deeply, for a moment she was very dissatisfied, no matter how she thought about this level gap, she was so reduced that she had to enter through the small door.

But at this moment, what can she say?Simply suffocated panic.

"Girl, Aunt Mei is about to wake up later, it's better to get the house ready earlier."

"Let's go then."

After finishing speaking, she raised her foot and walked towards the open corner door. Wang Momo looked at her thin and small body and sighed again.

Girl, even if you don't accept it, what can you do?This is the domain of grandma and her elder sister. Even if they get married and see each other in the future, they still have to count on their wives. Today's wives can't afford to offend them.

The servant rolled his eyes before leading them into the Rongguo Mansion, and when they reached the second gate, there were girls waiting to meet them. These fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls took a little look at the well-dressed two people in front of them. Without saying much, he continued to lead the people towards Rikain.

At this moment, the girls in the Rongguo Mansion had known for a long time that these people came in through the corner gate, their eyes unconsciously revealed the idea of ​​being arrogant, and their chins also raised a lot.

When he arrived at the Pear Fragrance Court, Xue Baolin took a quick look. The area of ​​the Pear Fragrance Court was really not small, and it was cleaned well enough to accommodate people like them.

He casually took Xiangling and Wang Momo around for a while, and then found himself a yard in the side courtyard to live in.

She had no hope of moving the main courtyard, and the self-aware Xue Baolin just chose a decent courtyard.

With the yard, Wang Momo pointed at the people and started tidying up. She didn't know what happened to the other people, but the girls had quite a lot of things, and the clothes they wore were all of the best quality. It was not easy to find another pair. .

This trip to Beijing, hired so many boats, most of them were simply brought along, and the furniture in the house had to be replaced. The amount of work was really not small.

Not to mention the things in the daughter's house, which are fragmented and troublesome to sort out.

The first room has not been tidied up yet, and Aunt Xue has already returned with her son and daughter over there.

Aunt Xue saw that people had already started to tidy up the house, so she didn't say a word, but Xue Baochai's face was a bit ugly, even if she chose a partial courtyard, it was reasonable to wait for them to come back and clean up, especially when she saw Xue Baolin coming in and out Those furniture and things made their faces even uglier.

Aunt Xue tugged at Baochai's hand, "You are only unhappy because you are unhappy. Her things were all given by your father. If you want to blame, you can only blame your eccentric father."

Xue Baochai only frowned for a moment, and when he turned his eyes, a smile appeared on his face again, "Mother, it's just something that shows off, why would my daughter put it in my eyes, it's better to clean it up quickly."

Xue Baolin, who was standing at the gate of the side courtyard, heard Xue Baochai's words truthfully, and instead of being unhappy, the corners of his mouth curled up, smiling very proudly.

You all don't know that this girl has a lot of money, right? This girl is self-willed when she is rich, and these things were not given by his cheap father for a long time.

Even his cheap father may not be able to get such useful furniture. Whenever this time, Xue Baolin would feel a lot of emotion, this man, you can’t just look at things by their appearance, otherwise it will be difficult to find some hidden things. details.

After working for a long time, lunch was also hurriedly settled. At this moment, Madam Wang told Xue Baolin that the house was all tidied up.

Xue Baolin, who was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, nodded, and walked towards the main house in the side courtyard. This main house was the first to be tidied up, but the person who lived there was not her Xue Baolin, but her biological mother Mei aunt.

At this moment, Aunt Mei has long lost her former glory, and her skinny face is particularly ugly, and she has suffered a lot along the way.

If not, Xue Baolin would not have asked someone to prescribe medicine to make her fall asleep.
