Calculated, Aunt Xue is older than the Wang family, and in fact, the Jia Wang family is just a side-line daughter and a follow-up, not as noble as Aunt Xue, the main line daughter, but now she is more powerful than others .The Xue family has some money and is an imperial merchant, but that’s all. After Master Xue’s death, the Xue family has no backbone, and Xue Pan is unreliable. After the separation of the first and second families, the days are getting worse and worse. , and then there was the matter of Xue Pan even though his slaves beat people to death. Aunt Xue had no choice but to bite the bullet and beg her brother, and took her son and daughter to Beijing. She thought she could live in Rongguo Mansion, but later she found out , My younger sister has been kicked out.

Walking along the way, the scenery was worse than that of Xue's family in Jinling, and the house was really small.There are regulations on the building system of the house. How big a house can Jia Zheng, a fifth-rank official, live in, and the second room really has no money.Aunt Xue shook her head as she walked, the maid opened the curtain and led Aunt Xue and Baochai in.

"Sister is here. This is Bao'er, come and let my aunt have a look." Wang smiled and stretched out her hand to Baochai. Although she didn't know the news as before, she still knew the reason why Xue's family came to Beijing. In her eyes, since Wang Ziteng had already dealt with it, it was all right.What's more, when I was most short of money, the Xue family was the treasury delivered to my door, how could it be possible if I didn't use it?

Baochai respectfully saluted Jia Wangshi, then walked to Jia Wangshi's side and let her look at her.Mrs. Wang took Baochai's hand and looked at it carefully, "Bao'er is like a big sister, she is also a shrewd one."

"My sister was joking, but the mansion is deserted."

Jia Wang's eyes darkened. Although the second house did not suffer from the separation of the family, it still could not use the money from the public office. The expenses depended on the basics. Naturally, they couldn't be extravagant anymore. They left some necessary servants, and the rest were left behind. It was sold out, but fortunately, my confidants can arrange positions now.Counting it, the house has been strictly rectified, which made her feel more at ease in doing things. Of course, she also created a lot of income-generating methods, such as lending usury... And her wicked slaves are the most bullying and afraid of hard However, in the capital, she became acquainted with some dude's servants, and later brought her infinite disasters, so I won't mention it here for the time being.

"It's just that I don't live in the mansion anymore, and I can't talk about some ostentations. Otherwise, if the censor finds out and sues the master, it will be my fault. Sister, drink some tea first." There is something in Jia Wang's words, Xue Auntie took a sip of tea, which was the best Longjing tea, and instantly understood what she meant. It was to tell herself that even though the family was separated, the second wife of the Jia family still had money and status, but without the title of Duke Rong, there were many things. Can only keep a low profile?

"What my sister said is that when the old man was there, the Xue family was also very prosperous. After the old man went, even if there were some things, he couldn't just take them out for fun, hey." Shi is overwhelmed, no matter in terms of background or ability, how can this so-called cousin compare to herself?It's like Wang Ziteng will never stand up for her.

"The past can't be traced back. Is my sister going to live in Beijing this time?" Wang still held Baochai's hand, and it was hard for Baochai to leave, so she could only sit next to Wang, like her biological mother. female same.

"Yeah, there's nothing else in Jinling. After the master went, he always felt uneasy. But he came to the capital. He is closer to his elder brother and younger sister, and his life can be more stable. Besides, many of the Xue family's shops are closed. In the capital, I always have to take care of it." Speaking of her own shop, Aunt Xue's unreasonable pride made Wang feel very uncomfortable, isn't it because Xue's family is richer, but it's not just businessmen, scholars, farmers, businessmen, Just the last one.The four princes and the eight princes are the worst of the Xue family right now, and they are still arrogant!Jealousy flashed in Mrs. Wang's eyes, and she squeezed Baochai's hand slightly. Baochai frowned, but acted as if nothing had happened, and did not speak.My mother's big words made my aunt jealous, but the situation of Xue's shop... Baochai could only sigh in his heart, if this continues, I'm afraid it will be really bad.

"Since that's the case, my sister is going to live, but she has cleaned up the house? My sister hasn't returned to the capital for so many years. I'm afraid that the house will take a while to clean up before moving in. Why don't you live in my house first, and the Pear Fragrance Court will return to you. Sister's intentions?" Jia Wang said with a smile, as if the momentary change just now hadn't happened.

Aunt Xue hesitated for a moment, "I'm going to trouble my sister." The so-called Pear Fragrance Courtyard only had three rooms, and it was said that the courtyard was just a small front yard. The small ancestral house left in the capital is much smaller, so it must be very comfortable to live in.But living in Jia's house can always save a lot of money, plus you can get in touch with some high-ranking officials and nobles, and the most important thing is that there is always a reason to go to Rongguo Mansion. "By the way, since you want to stay, you should always visit the old lady. After so many years, it's always relative."

Jia Wang was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "It's still my sister who is considerate. Although she doesn't live with the old lady, she can't be filial in front of her, but the etiquette that should be there is always indispensable. It's getting late today. , Sister and Bao'er are exhausted again, why don't we go tomorrow."

"Alright, I'm also preparing some gifts for the old lady." Of course, Aunt Xue will not ignore the existence of Mrs. Zhang, the one who defeated her sister. Although Aunt Xue should hate her, she did I want to trouble Mrs. Zhang, but now all useful people are friends, not to mention Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Rong Guo?If I can make friends with Mrs. Zhang, it will be really good to live in Rongguo Mansion.

The two sisters gossiped for a while, Aunt Xue pulled Baochai to get up and was about to leave, but a gust of wind came in head-on, "Madam, I heard that a cousin came." Baoyu looked around excitedly. Xue heard the news and was naturally happy. He moved out of the Rongguo mansion by himself. Sister Yun couldn't see her often, and she couldn't even see her two cousins. There was only one third sister, but she didn't like her.It's still my wife who loves me, and even picked up another cousin to accompany me.

"What are you shouting about, no big or small, no rules, and you still don't greet your aunt."

Baoyu looked at Aunt Xue, and then fixed her eyes on Baochai, "I seem to have seen this sister before."

I got a bump on the head from Mrs. Wang, "I see everyone saying that. This is your cousin from Xue's family. She is a little over a year older than you. She is the most dignified and generous. You can't talk casually and offend her."

"Baoyu knows, hello aunt, hello cousin." Baoyu bowed twice, then looked up at Baochai, Baochai's face turned red immediately after being fixed by him, how could a man dare to stare blankly like this? Myself, what do you think of yourself as? "The plaque on Sister Bao's chest is so pretty." Looking at the jade plaque, Baoyu always felt that she had known him before, and her head hurt from an inexplicable pain, and she couldn't stand still.

"Baoyu, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Wang was taken aback, and quickly let Jin Chuan support Baoyu.

"It's nothing, maybe I'm too tired from studying." Baoyu felt distressed when she saw Baochai's pale face, and quickly explained, "Madam, is my cousin going to stay? Can I see her every day?"

"What did you say? Men and women can't kiss each other. Be careful when the master comes back and asks you about your homework."

As soon as Jia Zheng Baoyu was mentioned, he became wilted. After moving out of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Shishi couldn't protect him every day.After Baoyu was beaten and scolded twice, he really studied hard, but his mind was not on reading after all, so he made some jokes from time to time. Can't hear his name, or tremble.

"Then I'm going to review my homework." Baoyu glanced at Baochai reluctantly, then lifted the curtain like a gust of wind and went out.

"I made my sister laugh. Baoyu is spoiled by me."

Aunt Xue forced a smile, and kept staring at her Bao'er, as if she was an apprentice. Is this really a good match for Bao'er?Let's talk about Jia Hu and Jia Lian, the serious grandsons of the Rongguo Mansion. "Second Master Bao is very innocent and blessed. He will be fine in the future. Let's go back first."

"Alright, Bao'er, your cousin Yuan Chun will be back in a while, and you can see her too."

"Yes, I have heard about my cousin's reputation for a long time, and Baochai is looking forward to it."

Although Yuan Chun was not her biological daughter, she had been raised by her side for so many years, and she was her daughter in name. Hearing such praise, Jia Wang was a little proud.

After leaving Jia Wang's house, she went back to Lixiangyuan. Seeing that there was no one around, Aunt Xue broke down, "I really think I'm still the head grandma of Rongguo Mansion."

"Mom, now that we've settled down, let's make another plan. Cousin Yuanchun is just...you can learn something from her daughter. Doesn't Mother believe in her daughter?"

"My Bao'er is naturally the best, but it would be good if you can make Jia Hu or Jia Lian fancy you. It's easier than having so many concubines in the palace." Aunt Xue rolled her eyes. It was cultivated according to the plan of entering the palace, but it is not bad to marry into the family of four princes and eight princes. "But it's better to stay far away from Jia Baoyu. I think he is..." Aunt Xue didn't continue.

"Mother is right, it's just that my aunt always has to be perfunctory."

The mother and daughter laughed and discussed strategies, and a black shadow by the window flashed away.

Lin Fu, "Tsk tsk, two sisters, no, no, it should be said that two idiots fought. They even hit the abacus on the heads of Muer and Lianer."

"Mother, have I seen that Xue Baochai before?" Daiyu frowned, wondering why this person's name sounded so familiar.

"That's your little ball, do you still remember?" Jia Min recalled the banquet that day, but it was very lively.

"I don't know, I always feel that the name is familiar. Since they are going to visit their grandmother, mother wants to go back and have a look?"

"Yu'er, you can't go." Jia Min patted Daiyu's head, "It's a pity that I don't have the chance to watch a play."

"It's just that we can't be in the same room. It's okay for me to go see Cousin Jue and Cousin Yingchun. Besides, my grandmother lives in a Buddhist hall, a corner of Rongguo Mansion. Yu'er is very guilty that she can't go to pay her respects to her grandmother due to mutual restraint." It's gone." Daiyu rolled her big eyes, and she had a plan in her heart.
