Weak Concubine [Qing Wear + Red House]

"I heard what my aunt said just now, Mom, this matter cannot be dealt with!" Xue Baochai said with a cold face.

What does Mrs. Wang think of her?

She can only be a concubine, and she has to pay several 10 taels of silver to buy this position. Could it be that she really thinks that Baoyu is a real "Baoyu"?

He also underestimated her, Xue Baochai!

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Aunt Xue growled.

"Mom, I'm sober."

"But your youth was wasted in their house, and we spent so much money, it's unreasonable for them."

"So if you agree to be Baoyu's concubine, it's even more worthless. Since they are no longer unreasonable, what does Mom expect from her? I don't believe anything she says now."

Aunt Xue seemed to be a few years older.

"Then do you have a suitable candidate in your mind? After the new year, you will be twenty-nine, so you have to make a decision."

Xue Baochai sighed:

"I've tasted it a long time ago, not only my aunt despises our family, but the general family background is better, except for the sake of our family's money, who can really value it?

I don't want to marry an ordinary family and live on daily necessities. Even if I am a concubine, I want to find someone who has ability and background, and I can bring my elder brother under my contract. "

"My son, you still know that you love your mother and your inconspicuous brother. It's just that your mother is useless, and you can't get in touch with the real noble lady, otherwise you can help you plan one or two things."

In the past two years, Aunt Xue has also thought a lot. Originally, Baochai was still young and she was not in a hurry, but now it is getting bigger and bigger every year. She can't help but be in a hurry, and Mrs. Wang asks where to go. Now that Baochai has made her own decision, she plans to think about it again.

"Did Mom get the receipt written by my aunt?"

"Received. At that time, you said that you asked your aunt to write the receipt. I thought it was unnecessary, but now it seems that it is not a loss."

"Why don't we just guard against this trick, and the stepmother will ask for money after the concubine's visit. Now that we are creditors, our waists can stand up."

"But... After all, there is an empress. I think such a family is not bad."

"Let's take a look, let's see what help the mother can bring to the family after the family visit. If not, how can Baoyu be a good man because he has no fame and no economics?"

"If you say that, don't you have a candidate in your heart?"

Xue Baochai blushed:

"I think the second cousin of the Nian family is pretty good, with a high status, a good character, and he is capable. The most important thing is that her daughter-in-law is not pregnant yet. If I can give birth to the eldest son after entering the house, then the status is not bad."

Originally wanted to cling to the eighth prince, but the facts told her that it was a bit unrealistic. Even if she could cling to her, she was just a concubine, not even Ge Ge, and if her status was too low, she would have less right to speak.

Thinking about it, Nian Gengyao was more suitable, especially what he said a few days ago made her feel so hot. If she was destined to be a concubine, she would rather choose him.

And Nian Gengyao, whom Xue Baochai missed, was taking off his yellow vest at this time, wearing an ordinary bachelor's gown and jacket, just like a group of candidates rushing for the exam, waiting for inspection in the cold wind.

Nian Jinyao, who came to see her brother off, was so distressed that she insisted on putting on a cloak and taking it off when it was his turn. There were servants on the left and right in line.

Nian Gengyao had no choice but to put it on.

Jinyao is still facing things with Fengshou:

"The clothes can't have interlayers. Fortunately, I'm smart. I wear fur. If the tiger skin is not too conspicuous, I should really wear that. It is much better than wolf fur to prevent cold and humidity when laid on the bed."

"This is good enough, there are a few people who dare to hunt wolves."

Jinyao ignored him and continued talking.

"Bring a pen, ink and inkstone are all here. I don't know if there is enough dry food. I also bring dried fruit and remember to eat. This green one has mint added to refresh you. There is also this color, yes Damn it, if you have a sore throat, take one, it's made by Grandma Sun, it's very useful!"

"Okay, I'll take it down."

"Jerky, this jerky is what you usually eat. I didn't dare to get you a new one. I'm afraid that your stomach will suddenly become unaccustomed to eating it. Soak it in boiling water and eat it with dry food, otherwise you won't be able to swallow it."

"Okay, listen to my sister." Nian Gengyao has been in the army for several years since he was a child. He has never experienced any hardships. How can he be picky about these things, but his sister is so nervous, he should let her say.

"By the way, there's also a tea stove and a kettle for boiling water. I don't know if I can take them in. I'll ask the guards to buy some charcoal and boil the water myself..."

Someone patted her shoulder twice, Jinyao turned her head impatiently, and was stunned at first sight:

"How soon did fourth master come?"

"Fourth Master!" Nian Gengyao cupped his hands, he had already seen Fourth Master coming, and he didn't say hello when he saw him leaning on the side of the car to watch the fun.

"It's been a while since I came here. It's almost time. Let Lianggong go to change clothes first. Pick up things that you can take down, otherwise you will lose money if you squeeze out pen and ink. Besides, no one in the dormitory dares to use unclean water for candidates." Yes, don't worry."

Nian Gengyao nodded and went to use the toilet in his carriage without being polite to him.

Seeing Nian Gengyao leave Jinyao, he let out a long sigh.

"I really hope that the second brother wins the first place in one fell swoop, the waiting is too tortured." She didn't want to go through the second time, but thinking of the third brother, Jinyao froze.

"Let's relax. The scribes around me have already said that with Liang Gong's knowledge, it is still possible to get two Jinshi, but you yourself. It's cold in the spring. If you fall ill, won't you miss the draft?"

Jin Yao's eyes lit up:

"Can I skip the draft if I'm sick?"

Yinzhen glanced at her:

"Yeah, there will be a special imperial doctor coming to check it. If it's just a normal old problem, then wait for the order. If it's really another disease, you can report it and you can avoid the general election, and Jia En will participate in the next batch or lose the election.

The reputation of losing the election is not good, unless there are people who have already negotiated with others and married at a low price, there are very few people who take the initiative to lose the election and regard it as an honor.

As for you, there is a high probability that you will continue to participate in the next session. By then, you will be double [-], not to mention exceeding the age of the show girl in the session. Have you ever thought about who you will be pointed at? "Which noble son is still not married at such an old age.

Jinyao has black lines all over her head, do you want to be so sharp?It's so easy to be poked awake so quickly after having a dream, glared at Yinzhen dissatisfied, turned around with a small mouth, and turned back to his car, ignoring him!

There is another kind of temptation for a beauty to be angry, and Yinzhen didn't care about her petty temper, so she found a place to avoid people and approached the car window and said:

"Did the Jia family ever pick you up again?"

"No, their family has just sent off their mother-in-law. I think they are very tired for more than half a year, and they are slowing down now."

Since Wang Xifeng came here last time, she really didn't come to see her again, she was also happy and relaxed, but a concubine without a title, fortunately, they were so happy.

Why Jinyao didn't understand their plan, either they wanted to use the empress to suppress her, or they wanted to let the empress see that they had a plan in their hearts.

This is because she is worried that she will steal the limelight by entering the palace, so she will find a way to play tricks in the draft.

I have to say that they think that the empress is too capable. If the empress is really capable, how could she not be favored by the emperor after entering the palace for more than ten years? Now she is obviously getting old and is about to leave the palace, but she is concubine ?

The biological mothers of the fifteenth, sixteenth, and eighteenth elder brothers gave birth to three elder brothers in a row. They were all nobles before, but they were awarded the main position after taking advantage of the reward car this time. Yuanchun has no favor , two childless, don't they find it strange?

Or that they actually have countermeasures.

This also makes sense, after all, the four families are closely related, and they even had relatives with Empress Xiaochengren's Hesheli's natal family a few generations ago, so it is reasonable to have some connections in the palace.

But these are none of her business, and it is impossible to plot against her. The concubine Jia is not capable enough to point her directly to Jia Baoyu.

The tip of her nose hurts slightly, and when she came back to her senses, Fourth Master calmly withdrew her finger, Jinyao looked at him in disbelief, are you still making a sneak attack?

Yinzhen didn't feel guilty, but was a little dissatisfied with Jinyao's distraction in front of him.

"Stay far away from Jia's house. You are just relatives who don't move around very much. Don't get too close in the future."

Jinyao understands that this is obviously about to do something, the fourth master is reminding their family to accept it kindly, Jinyao nodded:

"I understand. I will tell my brother when he finishes the exam and ask him to write a letter home to explain."

Yinzhen is very satisfied with the girl's cleverness:

"Just understand, and wait for the draft with peace of mind. You can't imagine the consequences of the emperor's anger."

"understood!"

"What does my sister know?" Nian Gengyao came over.

"I know you're going to be a Jinshi, and I'm thinking about what gift to give you."

Nian Gengyao was amused by her:

"You, it's not ashamed to be heard boasting so much. You kept fourth master waiting for a long time."

Yinzhen shook his head:

"It's okay, relax, just treat it as usual, it's time to go to court, my master is leaving first!"

"Send off fourth master!" The siblings said in unison.

Yinzhen nodded, got into an ordinary green axle car and left.

When the sky gradually dawned, the soldiers guarding the number had just started to move, and the candidates ran over with a coax, most of them were replacing people in line, but there were too many people, the scene seemed a bit chaotic, and there were government officials immediately Come over to maintain order, dare not line up and crowd directly to be beaten with water, fire and sticks, and then the place is calmed down.

Nian Gengyao patted Jinyao's head:

"Okay, sister, go back, don't be alarmed by the mess."

"No hurry, I'll watch my brother go in and come back."

Nian Gengyao had no choice but to take the big bag she had prepared and get off the car to replace the servant.

This day is the longest day that Jin Yao has ever lived.

She was sitting at home, but there were people in the examination room who were watching all day long, and she could often hear reports that someone was caught cheating, and their names were thrown out from the inside, and the guards outside wrote it on the white list at the door for public display.

And who could not bear the pressure and fainted, and also had diarrhea, fever, etc. I heard that this happened in every session of the exam.

She kept worrying in her heart, for fear of getting bad news, not eating well, not sleeping well, seeing how haggard she was, which made Grandma Sun very anxious.

"Sister, no matter what, you can't take your body seriously. If you say something disrespectful, if the second master wins, it will be the icing on the cake and everyone will be happy.

But unfortunately, he is also a second-class bodyguard of the fourth rank, so he doesn't have much influence at all, but my sister is like this. Wouldn't the master and madam feel distressed if he knew it? "

Jin Yao sighed:

"I don't understand what my mother said, but I still can't help but worry. My second brother has been studying literature and martial arts every day for these years, and I feel distressed when I think about it. Now it's time for the test, and I naturally I'm afraid he... won't, my second brother will definitely pass the Jinshi exam, definitely will!"

After speaking, he became strong again:

"Jinling, pack up your things, we will go to Guanyin Temple to offer incense later, let the kitchen steam more steamed buns with Erhe noodles, and then we will go to the temple outside the house."

"Yes, girl, don't worry, the servant will go and watch their faces in person, and will never let them get any oily smell."

The Guanyin Temple is near the overpass, which is the busiest place in the capital. There are vendors on both sides of the road, and the noise of hawking is very loud, blocking most of the road.

Jinyao had already thought of this, so she only used two smaller people to carry the soft sedan chair. That's it, she was still blocked in the middle of the road, and she only heard an arrogant voice say:

"You evil people, hurry up and get out of the way, can you afford to pay for the damage to my lady's car..."
