Concubine Xue's family in the Red Chamber

"Is there something wrong, you just came back from Lixiangyuan, but you saw that concubine girl?"

"I didn't see anyone, but I saw the house. Girl Bao's main house hasn't been tidied up yet, but hers is done first. The house is still burning with incense."

Yuanyang finished speaking, while instructing people to bring refreshments into the flower hall.

"Hmph, it's just a concubine, how many things can there be?"

Hearing what she said, Wang Xifeng rolled his eyelids, and lost interest in that girl. He had heard from Zhou Rui's family that she looked pretty in gold and silver, but looking at it now, it was just superficial beauty.

"Second Grandma is wrong. Miss Bao didn't change many things. It's just some things in my daughter's house that need to be tidied up. But who? The bed, the seat, the screen, and the inside of the curtain. They were all changed, and they were cleaned inside and out, without any mess, and they looked more than just rich."

"What do you mean by that?"

"If Second Mistress is interested, she should go and have a look for herself. I can't even tell what kind of fabric is on the curtain at the head of the bed. It's so thin and soft. It looks good when it's stacked three or four times."

That's all Yuanyang said, and then she left and went into the flower hall. Once she walked away, several big girls surrounded the old lady and said good things, and she really couldn't relax for a moment.

Second Mistress rolled her eyelids again, "I'd like to run over to see her in person! What kind of person is she? I haven't been to Bao girl's place, but a few pieces of satin are worth seeing in person."

This mandarin duck looks decent, but now that she looks at it, she is a girl, her eyelids are a little shallow no matter what.

Waiting for the mandarin ducks to enter the inner room, the second grandma walked away. After dinner, it was time for the housekeepers to talk back and forth. She was busy, so how could she have time to look at the messy satin.

After returning to the residence, Ping'er had been waiting there for a long time, and the housekeepers came in one after another. Wang Xifeng was sitting in the main courtyard, reading the posts one by one to get the cards. Powerful, the end is not to dare to mess around.

Wang Xifeng's tricks are powerful, and none of the maids and women in Jia's mansion are afraid, but no matter what the people say, they don't really make a fuss, they just have a little more respect and admiration for the second mistress.

Speaking of which, since Wang Xifeng accepted Rongguo Mansion, Rongguo Mansion has not missed many major and minor matters.

Wang Xifeng is not such an ignorant person, she can't tolerate people under her nose, but she can't be a housewife, and even the slightest bit of confusion will be overturned, and she won't give any oil to these women. people, but offending people.

Now she is still young, and there are old ladies and wives on top of her. If she is not careful, she will suffer. Although the second grandmother is decent and beautiful in this mansion, but to be honest, her second grandmother is at the old lady's place. In terms of face, it may not be as big as those mothers with children.

Now I just hope not to make a big mistake, thinking that in the future, my aunt should hand over the entire Rongguo Mansion to her.

"Grandma, the wives are all gone." Ping'er saw that the wives had all received the right cards and went down one by one, so he served some snacks and fruits.

"Well, where's the second master?"

"Second Master hasn't come back yet, so he must have gone somewhere to drink again."

"Hmph! As long as he doesn't drink flower wine, it doesn't matter what kind of wine he drinks. There are old ladies and old ladies here, and he doesn't have the courage to drink too much and come back. He can only have a few drinks."

"That's right, don't bring any little wife back, just let him drink a few cups," Ping'er nodded in agreement, sitting on the kang beside Second Grandma and looked in the direction of Lixiangyuan.

"Today, Aunt Xue and Miss Bao came to the door. I heard that it is very lively."

Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes, pointed at her legs and asked the little girl to hammer her, lying down on the kang in a state of dissatisfaction, as comfortable as she could be, she had a whole day, and this was the only time she had time to rest.

"That's right, such a big battle, even the gates were opened. When Miss Lin came, there was only a small sedan chair, a woman and two maids. It looked shabby."

"Others say that, Second Grandma can't say that, the 5000 taels of silver and all kinds of toys and decorations in this account can't stop Grandma's mouth?"

"Hmph, my mouth is easy to gag, but it's hard to gag the mouths of girls and women in the yard. The old lady loves Miss Lin very much, but she won't let any money in the account be revealed today. At my dinner table, not half of Miss Lin likes to eat vegetables, I see that the old lady is not very happy today."

"No, one is the granddaughter and the other is the second wife's younger sister's family. The gap between the two sides is so far. It is normal for the old lady to be unhappy. This Miss Lin is also a worthless person. She doesn't understand the world at a young age. No wonder people in this mansion say that Miss Lin is an uneducated and poor family."

"Don't say this in front of them, be careful that walls have ears."

"Grandma, this place is your domain. How can anyone dare to come here to play wild? I heard that Miss Yuanyang went to see it. Grandma, do you have any questions?"

Wang Xifeng changed her position and continued to lie down. With such a large family, it was difficult to take care of her.

"I asked, but Yuanyang said that the main courtyard is not as gorgeous as the side courtyard, which makes people laugh out loud."

Ping'er frowned, peeled an orange and put it in Wang Xifeng's hand, "Grandma, I'll ask Wang'er to inquire about it. The boy who brought Xue Baolin into the mansion also said such nonsense."

"Oh? What good things can happen?"

"It's not a good thing, but it's just a little strange. Our family's concubine is incomparable with the Xue family's concubine. The boy said that after Aunt Xue brought Uncle Pan and Miss Bao into the door, Xue Baolin stood at the door Didn’t move, none of the people below dared to move, it’s amazing.”

Wang Xifeng was stunned, and suddenly sat up, "Are you telling the truth? With so many maids in the Xue family, she doesn't dare to move because of her face?"

"That's right, the woman next to that girl, the little girl named Xiangling, and the luggage bearer pulling the carriage, none of them looked at her, and those who didn't know thought she was the master."

"It's amazing, but an 8-year-old girl has such abilities, where does she have the confidence to come from? I want to meet her for a while."

"What does grandma want her to do? Xue's family doesn't live here for a day or two, and sometimes they have the opportunity to see each other carefully."

"That's right, why am I so anxious, I'm just a concubine."

Wang Xifeng's master and servant chatted happily, but the old lady had nothing to say. The girls were not talking about flowers and fans, but about poetry and songs, and then Baoyu.

Baoyu came back very late today, and he must have been restrained by his father to lecture him again. He was only a little old, so he was forced to learn that.

The old lady thought of Baoyu's study, and then thought of her eldest grandson Jia Zhu, who was a juren at a young age, how could he just disappear like this!Originally, I hoped that someone could support Baoyu, so that Baoyu could get up quickly, without having to suffer the pain of entering the officialdom for the first time.

Now, only Wang Ziteng has the ability to help!But Wang Ziteng is also a military officer after all, Baoyu can't bear that hardship, this help is not very good!

Thinking of this, the old lady's head started to hurt again.Poor Baoyu, she has such a good fate, but she still has to suffer so much! !Jia Zhu, the elder brother, was looking for him so much, maybe he couldn't hold back Baoyu's fate.

"Is the old lady tired?" Yuanyang asked softly, seeing that the old lady looked unhappy.

The old lady nodded, "When Baoyu comes back later, tell him to let him rest well. Grandma Dongfu's brother has already been hired. After a while, he should have a companion to go to school with."

"Hey, when Second Master Bao comes back, tell him that the old lady wants to go into the house to rest?"

"Get up, girls, go back and rest, you should be tired today."

The old lady entered the bedroom, and the four girls left the yard.

The green gauze cabinet where Miss Lin lives is very close to the old lady's house, and it arrives in a blink of an eye, but Tanchun grabs Miss Lin's sleeve and won't let go.

"Sister Bao came to the door today, let's go and see her together in a while, so we can say hello to my aunt."

"My sister has a heart. I will go there whenever I want to. There will be a long time in the future. There will always be a chance to see each other. Such a group of people go by. It's not good for anyone to be left out. It's better to go one by one. Not only is it lively, but it won't be left out. who."

After all, Miss Lin went into the green gauze closet, Jia Tanchun frowned slightly, rolled his eyelids, and his face was not very good-looking, "Go by yourself, I will go by myself, and I will go with Baoyu tomorrow."

After speaking, he took the girl and left.

The corner of Xichun's mouth twitched, "Why bother making a fuss, it's too annoying to have a fight every time you disagree with each other in the future."

Yingchun sighed helplessly, "They're all my sisters, if you want to make a fuss, even if the old lady sees it, she'll have no reason to be happy, hurry up and go back with me."

Xichun snorted again, didn't even look at Yingchun, and went back on her own.

When I saw Sister Bao today, I saw that Sister Bao was cared for by her brother and loved by her mother. She was dressed in Shu brocade, and she was wearing a carefree and happy life. It was impossible not to make people jealous.

On the second morning, Xue Baolin got up early, rested very well, his face was flushed, and his big eyes were a little wet, but unfortunately, the life was still so hard, thinking of going to pay his respects, he did everything heart block.

It was just getting bright outside, and Xue Baolin was woken up by Nanny Wang to change clothes. In ancient times, there was nothing else to say, but the one thing to say to the elders every day was absolutely cruel.

Get up at 6 o'clock every morning, rush to Aunt Xue's house around 7 o'clock, wait for about 10 minutes, and have to serve her early when she sees someone, and it will be about 9 o'clock when she comes back after a long time. Meals, all I have to do in the morning.

Think back in modern times, even if you get up early to exercise, you are willing to sleep in. If you want to sleep late, you can sleep if you have time. In the cold weather, watching others eat while you are hungry, for foodies, this is abuse.

But no matter how uncomfortable it is, I have gotten used to it after so many years.

Having said this, Xue Baolin himself felt sad, as a concubine, a concubine born in ancient times, how could life be so difficult!At the beginning, she was also a good girl in the family, okay, did she travel here just to be abused?

Xue Baolin finished complaining every day in the morning, and almost finished dressing and combing his hair. He stuffed a few pieces of snacks at random, and hurried to Aunt Xue's house.

As soon as the front foot walked out of the door, Xue Baolin turned around and walked back, "Caining, tell the kitchen later to get me a leg of lamb to roast. There is nothing in this place, except that there is a lot of lamb."
