After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

When Baochai received the news, he was really taken aback.

——The intersection between their family and the prefect of Jinling is just a routine annual gift.This is what every big businessman in Jinling City will do. They don't ask for the convenience of the government, but just don't make trouble at critical moments.

Although their Xue family is backed by the four major families, they are still imperial merchants and have quite connections in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.But as the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.Xue Duan is a very considerate person, so naturally he won't be stingy about this kind of thing.

But other than that, the Xue family has no deep friendship with the magistrate, and they have never been in contact with each other before. Why did his wife and young lady come here uninvited?

Hearing the servant girl's report, the other girls who came to visit looked at each other, feeling uncomfortable.

They are also very busy on weekdays, who is willing to flatter others?

However, people have already closed the door, if they leave at this time, they will definitely offend others.

Baochai smiled at the crowd apologetically, and ordered: "Have someone prepare tea and snacks, don't neglect the distinguished guests."

Fortunately, Baochai set up a round table here, and there is no distinction between primary and secondary.If not, it would be extremely embarrassing for the person who was originally sitting at the top to vacate his seat.

Xin Xin comforted her in a low voice: "This happened suddenly, and I don't blame you."

Xiao Ling also said: "It's this time, you still have the time to think about it? It's better to cheer up, don't make a mistake."

The other girls also comforted her, understanding her difficulties, and had a bad impression of the magistrate's daughter in their hearts.

After all, this uninvited guest is always unpleasant.

Baochai had no choice but to gather her energy and continue to deal with the little sisters, trying to appease everyone's slightly anxious emotions.

After about a cup of tea, Xue Wang's lady in charge, Liu Er's family, personally brought a girl in her early ten years over.

Baochai quickly regained her attention, and greeted her with a smile on her face: "This is the eldest girl of the Jia family, right?"

The current prefect of Jinling is none other than Jia Hua Jia Shifei, also known as Jia Yucun, who was arbitrarily judged in the gourd case in his previous life.

Originally, Baochai was a boudoir girl, and her family was not an official, so naturally she didn't know the twists and turns.But she remembered exactly why Xue Pan died.

After many years, Xue Pan's case was uncovered again by someone with a heart.A person who was murdered by a ghost, but who has lived at the foot of the capital for so many years, no matter whether it is Jing Zhaoyin, the Ministry of punishment, or Dali Temple, it will not look good when this matter is told.

So, after many years, Xue Pan finally paid for Feng Yuan's life.

Her sister-in-law, Xia Jingui, counted the dowry and went back to her mother's house without saying a word, and she was not even willing to keep Xue Pan's filial piety for a hundred days.

It wasn't until that time that Baochai suddenly realized: Jia Yucun is really nothing!

——Although she knew that killing people for their lives was justified, but Jia Yucun had enjoyed the convenience brought by the four major families, and when they needed his return, he responded in such a reckless manner.How could Baochai not hate her on the standpoint of the Xue family?

But as far as she knows, Jia Yucun can still be prosperous for many years, and even become Sima in the future.Putting these aside, he is still the magistrate of Jinling, how could the Xue family offend him?

So, she can only bear it.

Even if he wished to cut their family into pieces, he had to greet Miss Jia, who was only ten years old, with a smile on his face.

However, Miss Jia's eyes are almost on the top of her head. She is obviously not as tall as Baochai, but she still wants to hold her head up and look at people from the corner of her eyes.Baochai, as the host, took the initiative to greet her. She was an unexpected guest, but she didn't have the slightest courtesy.

Even though Baochai was exquisite, she didn't expect this to happen, she was really taken aback for a moment, and then she turned to let her: "Everyone is here, Miss Jia, please take a seat."

That Miss Jia looked very proud on her face, but in fact she had been observing Baochai from the corner of her eye.Seeing that she was not angry, but still greeted her with a smile, Miss Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and became more confident: It seems that what mother said was right.She is the housekeeper, and these merchant girls can only flatter her.

If you are confident enough, you will inevitably be picky.Baochai was just an ordinary greeting to guests, but she felt guilty, and it sounded like she was mocking her for coming uninvited.

Miss Jia nodded her head reservedly, without Baochai giving way, she unceremoniously took the honorary seat, and said in a calm tone, "If it wasn't for the visit today, I would not know that there is such a grand event in Jinling."

The girls present were secretly winking at each other, and some of them were young and inexperienced, and couldn't help showing disdain.

——This Miss Jia is too wink, not only occupying the position of the master's house, but also speaking in a strange way.They are just little sisters who are close to each other to get together. It's so boring to say that a grand event is not a grand event!

There are still many things in the Baochai Sutra, and I have a plan in my heart.She didn't seem to know that Miss Jia was sitting in the wrong seat, so she naturally sat in the honored guest's seat and gave Que'er a wink.Que'er understood, and hurried forward, removed the residual tea in front of Miss Jia, and replaced it with freshly cooked Snow Top Pekoe.

Miss Jia was about to drink tea, but when she saw the little girl came to change the tea, she realized that it was a broken cup of tea.Immediately, her cheeks twitched for a while, and she believed in her heart that the Xue family, like those officials' wives, looked down on her mother's background, and even looked down on her.

The lady of Jia Yu Village was none other than Jiao Xing, the maid who was picked up from Zhen Shiyin's home back then.

At that time, although Jia Yucun's first wife was sick in bed, she was still alive after all, and Jiao Xing could only be the second wife.

But Jia Yucun felt that Jiao Xing fell in love with him when he was poor, and he believed that Jiao Xing was to him, just like the red-haired girl was to Li Jing, she was his big-eyed hero.Therefore, she loves Jiao Xing in every possible way.

What's more, after the ex-wife died, he even disregarded his decency and disregarded the opposition of the clan, and made the second wife Jiao Xing the main wife.

The elders in the clan kept yelling that they couldn't afford to lose this person, and refused to let Jiao Xing enter the family tree.But I didn't want to, but this aroused Jia Yucun's long-held dissatisfaction with the clan.

He lost his father and mother when he was young, and felt that the clan was not dedicated enough to him and bullied him as an orphan without father and mother.Therefore, there is always resentment in my heart.This time, the matter of Jiao Xing happened to be the fuse, which immediately detonated his resentment.

In order to vent his anger, he took advantage of his position to constantly put pressure on the clan, forcing the clan to have no choice but to pinch his nose and include Jiao Xing in the family tree as his successor.

In this way, Jiao Xing is justified, but this matter is too big, and many people know about it.In addition, Miss Jia was born when Jiao Xing was the second wife, and now she is not a concubine, nor a concubine, which is very embarrassing.A real official lady doesn't like her at all, and she doesn't like to take her to play at gatherings on weekdays.

Therefore, Miss Jia had an extremely low self-esteem, and she could never lift her head up in front of the official lady.

But today Baochai invites girls from merchant families.Although the merchant's family is rich, the division of social status has existed since the Han Dynasty.Although the status of the merchants in this dynasty has been improved, how many officials pay attention to the merchants?

Therefore, in front of Baochai and others, Miss Jia felt an inexplicable sense of arrogance in her heart, thinking that these merchant girls should support her.Just like when the ladies of the official family gather, the chief envoy and the lady of the Jinling weaving family are praised by everyone.

Little did they know, her demeanor made these girls look down on her from the bottom of their hearts.

Yes, the official lady has a higher status than these merchant women.But are they ordinary merchant girls?

To put it bluntly, their families are leaders in various industries, and the support of their families is indispensable for officials to do things well in Jinling.

It's not that they haven't attended the party held by the official ladies. Those really smart ladies, no matter how reserved they are in their hearts, they are extremely polite to them on the face.Both sides are holding each other.

Moreover, at this time, the magistrate's wife and the maids still came uninvited, thinking about it with their toes, and they can understand that this must be something that needs to be asked, and it is still an urgent matter.

Otherwise, how could he not even care about his face?

If you want something from others or have this kind of attitude, it is really not that you are not smart, but that you are stupid.

Baochai's thoughts changed sharply, but she didn't reveal anything on her face.She winked at Xiao Ling and the fifth girl from the Fu family who were temporarily arrested as companions, and the three took the lead in coaxing the magistrate's daughter.No matter how arrogant and rude she was, how she exposed her vulgarity and ignorance, the three of them never changed their expressions, until Liu Er's family came again and said that the magistrate's wife was going back and asked her to bring Miss Jia with her.

This back and forth, from coming to going, less than an hour.

Baochai raised her eyebrows secretly: It seems that the magistrate's wife has messed up the matter.Otherwise, mother would not have let people go so soon.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after Miss Jia was sent away.

The outspoken second girl Huang couldn't help but said: "Is it the prefect's daughter, is this virtue?"

Miss Fu Wu sneered: "What kind of serious daughter is she?"

To be honest, Miss Jia's embarrassing status is not even as respectable as a serious concubine.At least, the concubine's daughters have a clear circle and class, whether they are socializing or talking about relatives.Both sides are not willing to serve or accept Miss Jia like this.

Everyone talked to each other, wantonly venting the grievances imposed by Miss Jia just now.

Baochai didn't apologize until everyone said she was tired: "I wanted to invite the sisters to have a good day, but who knows, the plan can't keep up with the changes. I will be the host in another day, and invite the sisters to a garden to gather together." .”

Geyuan is a garden for private kitchens. It is named Geyuan because of the bamboo grove inside.There is a courtyard dedicated to entertaining women's relatives. On weekdays, wives and ladies gather, and if they don't want to be at home, they will go to a garden to reserve a courtyard.

No matter how well-prepared the party at home is, it is boring after all.Therefore, when they heard that Baochai was going to be the host of a garden, the eyes of the little girls lit up, and they all said: "Then we have to talk about it!"

Many people have already begun to think that since Baochai has invited guests in this garden, when they return the banquet, they will have an excuse to go to this garden, or another courtyard at home.Count it down, you can go out to play several times!

Baochai also came here from a young girl, how could she not know their thoughts?Therefore, it is natural to be full of promises.

Although they were disappointed by others, they had a promising future, and they all had smiles on their faces when they left.

However, after Jiao Xing led her daughter home, what she faced was a storm.

"Stupid woman, I can't do a little thing well!" Jia Yucun was furious.Jiao Xing and Miss Jia curled up, trembling.
