Concubine Xue's family in the Red Chamber

Opening the door curtain and walking into the main entrance of the main house, the two little girls sitting by the door immediately put down the embroidery in their hands and stood up.

"Girl, sister Zhiying is waiting inside."

The two little girls, Xia Yu and Chun Yu, were talking while taking Xue Baolin, the second daughter of the Xue family, to the inner room.

In the inner room, Zhiying, who was sitting on the kang embroidering, heard the movement outside, hurriedly got up and opened the curtain to welcome the second girl into the door.

"Girl, Aunt Mei hasn't woken up yet. Dr. Liu came to see it just now. It's okay. The medicine has already been prepared. Aunt Mei can drink it as soon as she wakes up later."

This Zhiying girl is already 15 years old, she is the big girl next to Aunt Mei, even Xue Baolin is willing to give her some face.

This girl was bought by Aunt Mei in the winter when she entered Xue's residence, and now she is older than the second girl when she is with Aunt Mei.

Xue Baolin looked up at the furnishings in the room. She prepared all the furniture and so on. Naturally, the texture is not bad, and the ventilation and light transmission of the room is not bad. Now the fire pit is also burning, and the room is warm and comfortable. It's a little bit cold, but it's extremely comfortable.

"What's the smell in the house?"

"Girl, the sandalwood that Dr. Liu brought over has already been lighted. Because of this, Auntie slept a lot more peacefully. She was still frowning just now."

Zhiying has always been well-behaved and careful, the second girl walked to the aunt's bed, looking at the half-drawn curtain and the thick and soft bed, she was quite satisfied in her heart.

Aunt Mei didn't sleep well and she couldn't see the light. Only Wang Momo, Zhiying and she knew about it. Now that Aunt Mei has to be watched all the time, the bed curtain that is only half down is good enough for Aunt Mei Sleep more comfortably.

"The effect of this medicine is a bit overdone, and I haven't woken up yet, what did Doctor Liu say?"

"Ms. Liu said that it's not about the medicine. It's because my aunt's body is overworked. Now that I have a good sleep, it's better for my body. It's just that I need to take good care of myself these days. I can't see the wind. After half a month has passed, Auntie can regain her look and grow some flesh."

"Well, tell Mommy Wang if you need anything, and Mommy Wang will prepare it. Oh, by the way, I just got some first-grade bird's nests, and I'll have someone fetch them later."

Zhiying obediently responded, and Xue Baolin looked at her thin body, which was only left with bean sprouts, and sighed deeply. On the surface, this lady is smiling like a living Bodhisattva. Why is she so vicious inside? I haven't seen you for a few years, and a good person has been tortured like this.

Physically, it's okay, even with this mental trauma, Xue Baolin can't do anything about it.

After leaving the main house, Xue Baolin walked towards his west side courtyard. This room is naturally not as spacious as the main house, but it is definitely enough. The furnishings in the room are much more gorgeous than the main house, with a single inner door A pair of pearl curtains there is enough monthly money for all the maids in the Xue family for three years.

At this moment, Wang Momo is resting in the outhouse of the west courtyard, with a pile of account books beside her.

Seeing the second girl walking in, Wang Momo quickly got up and replied, "Girl, this is the account book sent by the shopkeepers in the capital. There are three rouge shops, two clothing shops, four gold shops and two restaurants."

"These people are quite neat. We just entered Jia's mansion, and they brought them here quietly, Sister, didn't the people over there notice?"

Instructing Nanny Wang to take the account book and enter the inner room, the little girls at the gate cheered up and sat by the door to listen to the movement. Obviously, what the second girl said to Nanny Wang should not be heard by outsiders, especially those next door. Those Xue family members.

When I got to my own room, there were still people looking at the wind. Xue Baolin, who was not too old, climbed up the kang, rubbing her hands tremblingly. When she got here, she should stop acting like I was inscrutable. , I don’t know how tiring it is to hold such a shelf.

Thinking about her being only 8 years old, she has to be in charge of her own house, and she doesn't want to talk about all kinds of tears.

"Yeah, those shopkeepers are really cute, no wonder the shop is doing well, but now we don't have the title of imperial merchant, and we don't have anyone to support us, all the shopkeepers are complaining, Although it is still making money, it is not as good as before.”

"Mother, this is understandable. In this place in the capital, everything depends on relationships. It was better to stare at the name of the Xue family's royal merchants, but now you want to make a lot of money? That is absolutely impossible, unless you find A more formidable backer."

Xue Baolin pinched the pastries while talking, his eyes never staggered from the pastries on the table from the beginning to the end.

Wang Momo wanted to say something else, but in a blink of an eye, seeing the two girls staring at the stuffing in their mouths one by one, with a typical look of eating what was in their mouths and looking at the small shape in the pot, there was an instant feeling of wanting to cover their faces impulse.

On weekdays, in front of outsiders, the girl is absolutely calm and self-possessed. Not only the shopkeepers, but also the little girls dare not mess around in front of the girl, but who knows, the girl is like this when no one is around. A pair of virtues.

"Girl, eat slowly, there are still plenty."

"I'll eat slowly." Xue Baolin was very upset. Disturbing others' meals is the greatest disrespect to foodies. I have been tossing for a long time today, and I am already hungry. "Where did this pastry come from? Chef Wang in the small kitchen made it fresh Sample?"

"No, it was sent by a girl named Yuanyang in Jia's mansion. Along with this, there are some small jewelry and two bolts of satin."

"Sent by the Jia family?"

Xue Baolin frowned, pursed his mouth, sighed deeply and put down the half-eaten pastry.

At this moment, the little girl looked at the pastries on the plate, looking pitiful and eager, but even so, she took a sip of tea and put down the pastries.

"Mother, why are the Jia's gifts here? What if something goes wrong?" Everything is good in ancient times, but all kinds of medicinal powders are hard to guard against. Even if she is a doctor who is proficient in medical science, she may be caught.

This is the real world, she is a normal human being, her mouth and nose are not so smart, how can she know if there is medicine in the food.

"The girl in Jia's house really has no rules. She rushed in like this when the master was away. I was not outside just now, and I happened to be tidying up the bed here. She just walked in like this. Also, the two little girls at the door stopped me. I can't help but get dizzy from her few words."

"so smart?"

"No, I greeted her as soon as I saw her coming. She wasn't too uncomfortable. She yelled loudly, and her eyes were looking around, especially the pearl curtain at the door. I touched it a few times."

"Who is this mandarin duck? Why are you so petty?"

Hearing that someone patronized her private domain, Xue Baolin was extremely displeased, her brows were deeply frowned, and she looked like a little adult, but she didn't let down the air-conditioning, and Wang Momo looked a little cute.

"She said she was a girl next to the old lady. These things were also sent by the old lady. I saw that the quality was not very good. I guess I knew the identity of the girl and didn't take it to heart. It's just meaningless."

"I see the same thing. The people in Jia's Mansion don't feel very good to me, nor are they as good as my wife said. Before I came, I wanted to be shocked. Now, except for this building, everything else can be summed up in one word, huh~ "

"It's good for the girl to know. Caiqing has already gone out to make friends with the housewives in Rongguo Mansion, and she should be back soon."

"I know, let's not talk about anything else, I'm hungry, Madam Wang, let Chef Wang quickly serve up his special dishes."

"Girl, bear with me. It's almost time for dinner over there. It's better to keep up with the time. I've offended them twice today. It's only three times, but you said it yourself."

"I..." Where did this deeply aggrieved feeling come from?The little girl Xue Baolin looks at the sky at 45°.

After Yuanyang left Lixiangyuan, she walked towards Rongqingtang with strides.Speaking of which, the distance between Lixiangyuan and Rongqingtang was quite far, and it took two quarters of an hour to go back and forth. Seeing that it was getting late, Yuanyang hurried back.

When we arrived at Rongqing Hall, the old lady was just about to serve the dishes.

People from Xue's Mansion arrived at Rongguo Mansion today, but Second Master Bao did not disappear like when Miss Lin came last time. Mrs. Wang arranged for a vacation early, but even so, she still couldn't escape this afternoon's class. They haven't come back yet.

The old lady likes to be lively, and when Second Master Bao is away, the three girls and Miss Lin are often called over to make fun of her. Now, these four girls are all waiting for dinner in the house.

"Hey, Yuanyang girl, you are back. The old lady can't leave you for a moment, and she was just talking about it."

"It's just you, a monkey with a poor mouth, and you want to say that I don't love you, old woman? How many good things have been given to you, and you still don't know how to raise you, a shabby household?"

"Hey, I only said a word to Yuanyang girl in this shabby house. Are you unhappy, old ancestor? Yuanyang girl should come up to serve you soon, and it's almost time for dinner."

Wang Xifeng was very eloquent, and with a few words, the atmosphere in the room was enlivened. All the maids were smiling, even Yuanyang and the old lady had obvious smiles on their faces.

"Second Mistress, what's the matter? Who doesn't know that the old lady loves you the most, and you are by her side to take care of her. How can the old lady think of me as a girl?"

While talking, Yuanyang signaled the maids to serve the dishes, and a bunch of girls put down the dishes one after another. The dazzling array of dishes were all very delicate, and the layers of oil on the surface looked like they were nutritious.

Miss Lin, who was sitting on the left hand side of the old lady, frowned slightly. Seeing that the old lady picked up the chopsticks and began to eat, she put away her expression and ate with a smile.

It's just that the careful Wang Xifeng and Yuanyang had seen it a long time ago, and everyone didn't talk about it for a while. In front of the old lady, there is no reason for the younger generation to do whatever they want, and they don't eat in this Rongqing Hall every day.

After a meal, she didn't say a few words. After washing her hands and rinsing her mouth, the old lady was very satisfied and began to talk with a few girls.

Wang Xifeng gave Yuanyang a look, Yuanyang naturally understood, and led people to clean up the house, but came to the outer room after a while.

"Second Grandma Lian, is something wrong?"
