Weak Concubine [Qing Wear + Red House]

As soon as Jinyao said this, several girls were visibly tempted, especially Yingchun and Tanchun, their faces flushed:

"Cousin, can we go too?"

Jin Yao thought for a while:

"I heard that there were many people participating this time, and they didn't post a serious post. They only made appointments, but if they made good friends, they would bring relatives and friends with them. I heard that Princess Qinghui's second son made friends. Wide range, starting from the prince elder brother, down to businessmen and merchants, this time it is estimated that there will be a lot of people involved."

"Prince elder brother will also go?" Tanchun couldn't help asking.

"I'm not sure about this. I only heard a little mention from my friend Jin Miao, so I don't know the details."

"That's really great. If you can go out and see it, it's not a waste of your life!"

Jinyao was amused by "puchi", and nodded Xichun's head:

"You are only a little old, and you have seen this life!"

"Yeah, we went to beg the old lady, the lady, and she will definitely let us follow to increase our knowledge!"

Daiyu sneered:

"Have a rest, do you know how to ride horses and shoot arrows?"

"..."

As expected of the king of silence, he calmed down the scene as soon as he opened his mouth.

Jinyao regretted that she was about to invite her just now, why is it so troublesome.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to archery, and you don't have to be very good at riding a horse. You can just walk around the hunting ground on a horse. How many cousins ​​can do it?"

"We...we have never touched a horse, let alone ride it." The most important thing is that they don't have clothes or jewelry to go out. You can't follow others to serve you, can you?

Jinyao patted her forehead, and she guessed it.

"It's okay, it's no big deal if you don't know how to ride a horse. I can take my sisters to play next time there is a flower viewing party."

Several people also laughed and said that it was a pity this opportunity, and they were looking forward to the same next time, but they lost interest in the end, and they left after holding on for a while.

Jinyao got up to see her off, and when she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she happened to meet Nian Gengyao who came back from outside to see Jinyao.

Several girls hurriedly saluted and called them "cousin". Except for Xichun, these cousins ​​are not young, especially there is Miss Xue who is not related by blood. Nian Gengyao didn't look around, and went into the outer hall of Qilan Courtyard .

Seeing these girls not letting her see them off, Jinyao was not polite to them, and said goodbye after saying a few words.

Jinyao who turned to leave didn't know that someone's thoughts had moved.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, merchants are always at the bottom, even the imperial merchants.

Xue's family was originally a coater of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it was quite prosperous when Xue Baochai's father was there, but now that her brother is not angry, their lineage has declined.

Staying in Jia's mansion was originally for the protection of their orphans and widowed mothers. No matter how big the business declines, it is not a sudden embarrassment. The Xue family still has a lot of money and shops, but there is no backing, and sooner or later they will not be able to protect these properties.

This is also the reason why Xue Baochai insisted on marrying Baoyu even though she knew he was not a good match. What she wanted was not Baoyu, so she didn't care who was in his heart or which maidservant he favored. What she wanted was Jia's. Asylum can allow Aunt Xue and Xue Pan to prop up the crumbling Xue family.

Baochai's beliefs have not changed in recent years, but after seeing Nian Gengyao, Xue Baochai's heart was disturbed.

Nian Gengyao's tallness, heroism and background are beyond Baoyu's reach. Baoyu hates studying and making money, while Nian Gengyao is both civil and military, and his official career is promising;

Baoyu is still hanging out in the inner room, but Nian Gengyao has long been able to protect his younger siblings and is a man in charge.

What's more, Jia's family has long been no longer the Duke's mansion, Jia She is now only a first-class general, and when the next generation inherits the title, it will almost be out of the ranks, and the Nian's family is flourishing, so Xue Baochai has an idea.

The next day, just as Jinyao came out from Madam Xing, she ran into Xue Baochai who was wandering with Yinger in the garden.

"Where is sister Xue going?"

"I don't plan to go anywhere, it's cool in the garden, sit here, my sister is going back?"

"Yeah, it's sweltering today, I don't like sweating, so I plan to go back to my room to nest." Jin Yao laughed.

"My sister was joking. I like to ride horses, so I don't worry about sweating. But I sweat a lot in summer."

This is the first time I heard Xue Baochai make fun of her figure. Compared with Jin Yao and Lin Daiyu, she is indeed plump, but it does not affect her appearance, so she is not considered fat.

Jinyao didn't know the purpose of her stopping her from speaking here, but she didn't have the patience to deal with her;

"I'm going back to Qilan Courtyard, would Sister Xue want to sit down?"

"Okay, then disturb my sister!"

"..." Knowing to disturb you, I still have to go.

This is the first time that Xue Baochai has come to Qilan Courtyard alone. She usually comes with her sisters. Jinyao is not familiar with her. She only knows a little from the book, but the book is processed by the author after all. In reality, The characters are vivid and changeable, and she hasn't been in Jia's house for a long time, and she goes out most of the time, so naturally she doesn't spend much time with her. Besides, she is Mrs. Wang's niece, and she has no direct relationship with her, let alone Not how close.

"Sister Xue, sit down and wait for me to freshen up."

"My sister is free, don't worry about me."

Jinyao didn't intend to be polite to her either, this is the season of autumn tigers, one would sweat all over after going out for a walk, and the clothes she wore were cumbersome, no matter how light and airy they were, they were not as comfortable as modern ones.

Remove the veil on the outside, take off the light yellow thin shirt, there is a bellyband inside, the skirt is an eight-panel Yuehua skirt, and there are drawers inside. Fortunately, there is no waist skirt, but this is thick enough. After wiping her body with warm water, she changed into a homemade satin beige, and the straight skirt came out.

This is the first time Xue Baochai saw Jinyao coming back to the yard from the outside. Seeing the dozen or so maids walking back and forth incessantly, they didn't appear to be in a state of chaos. They didn't hear a cough except for the sound of water. It's definitely not something she, a daughter of an imperial businessman, can have.

This made her, who was a little careless, be more cautious, and the thought of tiger and wolf in her heart was even worse, but thinking about it, if she had the opportunity to meet more noble people in the future, she still suppressed her heart.

"Keep sister Xue waiting for a long time." Jin Yao came out after changing clothes and apologized.

"No, a character like my sister does everything like a painting, it's really enviable!"

Jinyao chuckled, chatted with her for a long time, and Xue Baochai finally expressed his intention after a while.

"Sister, I wonder if you can take me with you on Miss Zhaojia's hunting trip?" Then he hurriedly said:

"Although I can't ride a horse well, I can still sit on it if the servants lead me around."

Jinyao took a sip of warm tea from the cup and remained silent.

Xue Baochai said repeatedly:

"My sister also knows that I'm more than a year older than you, and I haven't been in the pavilion for a few years. I haven't opened my eyes when I grow up to such a size. I don't have a chance. My sister took me to see it, and it would not be in vain for me to come to this world to make a mess."

"Look at what my sister said, you are only a little old and express this emotion. The future will be long, and who knows what will happen."

"I don't know what will happen to me in the future, but I know that it is absolutely impossible to be as free as I am now, and I beg my sister to help me this time."

"It's not that I want to refuse, I just think that sister Xue can't ride a horse, and I won't be with me at that time. The horse farm should be quite big. I heard that there will be many rich and powerful children. I am worried that my sister will not be wronged Beautiful."

There are not many other things in the capital, only the emperor's relatives and relatives are the most. There may be many famous relatives behind any powerful lady, and even she has to shrink her head, let alone Xue Baochai. Don't let her fall in the end. There's no point in complaining.

"My sister is worrying too much. I just want to increase my knowledge. Naturally, I won't conflict with others. Besides, I can't blame my sister no matter what."

Jinyao is lazy sometimes, and she is not willing to accept things like this, which are obviously not good for taking her, but are more likely to offend people, but it's just that people have talked to this level, and it would be too offending to refuse.

Since she wants to go, she can go. It doesn't matter if she offends a relative who is not related by blood. It doesn't matter much to her, it's just...

"Are you going to go by yourself or with your brother?"

"..." Xue Baochai was in a dilemma.

It stands to reason that this kind of good opportunity must bring my brother, and it is naturally good for my business to get to know a few children of the rich and powerful in the capital.

It's just that her elder brother's behavior made her feel troubled, and she was very worried that he would offend others and bring disaster to the family.

"Let's go alone, let my sister worry about it!"

"Whether I worry or not is the next best thing. It's just that my second brother wants to accompany me, and you are alone..." Aren't you afraid of losing your reputation?

Xue Baochai's expression froze:

"The third younger sister is also very courageous, and Baoyu also likes to join in the fun, why don't I ask them?"

Jin Yao frowned:

"It doesn't matter if there is one more person or one less person. After all, after hunting, you have to roast and eat on the spot, and you don't need to bother the owner's family." So if you can hunt, you can eat, and if you can't hunt, you have to prepare your own snacks, and you have to worry about being teased. go.

"That's good. The more I listen to it, the more I can't wait."

Jin Yao chuckled lightly:

"Well, you can tell me with the permission of the second aunt."

"Okay, trouble sister!"

In the end, Xue Baochai persuaded Mrs. Wang, but Tanchun did not follow, only Jia Baoyu accompanied her.

Jinyao didn't care so much, no matter where she went, there were more than four people around her, and there was a group of people when she went out, not to mention Jia Baoyu's cousin, even a strange man. The attendant girl and mother-in-law are here, and outsiders can't see what she looks like, and there are even fewer who rush directly like Baotai.

Jinyao brothers and sisters went out this time with four bells, Ming Yu, Nanny Sun and about [-] attendants. Because the racecourse is outside the city, everyone rode their horses and planned to leave the city directly, not wanting to meet Xue Baochai who was riding a carriage at the west corner gate of the mansion and Jia Baoyu.

There were more than a dozen of them, and they were brought by Jia Baoyu. They just watched the four or five carriages passing by each other, and the Jinyao brothers and sisters were speechless.

"Cousin Nian? Cousin Nian? When will we start?" Jia Baoyu waved excitedly.

On the contrary, Madam Wang, who was worried and wanted to tell Nian Gengyao to take care of Jia Baoyu, understood, and her face suddenly became embarrassed.

"Baoyu and Baochai have never experienced this kind of situation, and I hope my nephew and niece will take care of them."

"It's easy to say, when the time comes, my cousin and Miss Xue can just follow us closely. Jin'er likes to play, and I'm afraid I won't remember anything when I'm happy. I need someone to follow closely so that I won't lose it."

Nian Gengyao wasn't too polite, he was originally here to accompany his sister and expand his network, not to babysit her.If they can keep up with nature and take care of them, they won't look around if they can't keep up.

Mrs. Wang froze, still thanked with a smile, then turned to tell Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai that they must follow the Nian brothers and sisters closely and not run around and cause trouble.

The two of them didn't feel too distracted.

Jia Baoyu just wanted to see the excitement, not to go hunting at all. As far as his level was concerned, he just sat on a horse and let people lead him around. How could he pull his bow?What's more, he and Nian Gengyao couldn't talk about going together, he felt awkward being with him, if it wasn't for opening his eyes, he wouldn't go!

The same goes for Xue Baochai, she is here to get to know more dignitaries and she is not really here to hunt. If she keeps following the Nian brothers and sisters, what can she gain?

Talking about dealing with Mrs. Wang, they all thought about getting there, and it was rare for these two people to have such a tacit understanding.

The foot strength of the two sides is different, but the Nian family brothers and sisters can't leave them alone and go on their own, so the Nian family can only slow down, and the Jia family can ride faster, and finally arrive at the Xishan Racecourse not too early or too late.

I don't want to be the first to meet...
