Struggle of Baochai

Baochai looked at Mrs. Xue in surprise, not wanting Mrs. Xue to be so determined: "Mom?"

"My son, are you reluctant to part with that money?" Mrs. Xue only thought that Baochai was reluctant to part with her own property.

"That's not true." Baochai shook her head, "I just didn't expect Mom to be so courageous."

Not only Baochai, but also the Zhen family did not expect that Mrs. Xue would be so decisive. Her speech and behavior were completely different from her previous behavior.

Mrs. Xue showed a look of reminiscence: "Your father told me many things earlier. He dreamed that our family would be an official. He even said that this was the Xue family's wish for several lifetimes. Now there are I hope, if I refuse, how will I have the face to see your father in the future."

Speaking of Xue Hong, Baochai bowed her head sadly and wept.

Feng called Baochai to her side, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "Good boy, I'm sorry for you."

Seeing that Mrs. Xue and Baochai agreed with his proposal, Zhen Shiyin was very pleased that Xue's family knew the current affairs. At the same time, he secretly made up his mind to do his best to facilitate this matter.

The four people in the room had their own thoughts, and there was a moment of silence. Just when Zhen Shiyin was about to say something, he heard Tong Fu outside the door shouting: "Madam, Miss, Miss Zhu is here."

"Sister Zhu?" Baochai stood up quickly, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and rubbed her cheeks to make her look more energetic: "Ying'er, please invite Sister Zhu to the main room first." In the flower hall, I will go there later."

After finishing the order, Baochai bowed to Zhen Shiyin again: "Father, how to deal with this matter is up to my mother. Baochai thanked my mother for her kindness in advance."

Panicked, Zhen Shiyin quickly waved his hands: "I don't want to thank you, if you say that again, I don't care."

Baochai forced a smile: "Baochai will leave first."

"Go, go." Mrs. Xue waved her hand, and Baochai was about to go out when Zhen Shiyin said anxiously: "Wait a minute."

"Father?" Baochai turned her head, showing some confusion on her face.

Zhen Shiyin pondered for a moment and asked, "Is Miss Zhu from the Zhu family in Yancheng?"

"Yes." Baochai agreed, her apricot eyes still shone with surprise: "The foster father also knows about the Zhu family in Yancheng? Why do you ask this?"

Zhen Shiyin laughed at this time: "It really doesn't take much effort."

He clapped his hands: "The father of Miss Zhu is probably a direct descendant of the Zhu family in Yancheng. He is a very capable person. He has a very good relationship with Prince Yi in Kyoto. If we have some good words to say, we will work together, and I am afraid that this matter will be completed."

"It's just sister Zhu, a girl?" Baochai still didn't understand.

"You are wrong." Zhen Shiyin patiently said a few words to Baochai: "Prince Yi was the most unrestrained and unruly back then, and his daughter naturally looked like him. For the descendants of the Zhu family in Shangyan City, this matter was full of uproar, Prince Yi finally had no choice but to personally ask the regent to find a way to let Da Gege marry into the Zhu family."

Zhen Shiyin knocked on the table: "If my guess is correct, the girl Zhu who came here is probably the granddaughter of Prince Yi."

"Ah?" Baochai was surprised, she really didn't expect Zhu Xiuzhen's status to be so high.

"Why haven't I heard of it?" Baochai asked Zhen Shiyin after thinking about it.

"That big gege got married, and the wedding wasn't too lively. In addition, Prince Yi was already in charge of the whole Qing Dynasty's mouth and throat. He didn't want anyone to tell. Who knows which Zhu family the big gege married. What's more, these years, Da Gege lived in seclusion and did not rely on his status to bully others. After a long time, no one talked about these things."

Zhen Shiyin explained, and then asked: "Did you, Sister Zhu, be like an ordinary person when you were in school, and you didn't show any extraordinaryness, let alone pretend to be high?"

"That's true." Baochai thought about Zhu Xiuzhen's personality, and only felt that in terms of her status, her deeds were indeed two words, low-key.

"That's it." Zhen Shiyin patted the table and said happily: "That's her house. It seems that from the regent queen, the royal family's family education is really good, and there have been no unworthy descendants, let alone any Those dandies who bully others."

Baochai nodded silently, thinking that what her adoptive father said was really good, and that today's royal family has indeed produced talents from generation to generation.

Zhen Shiyin stood up and turned around a few times, and lowered his voice a little: "You are young, how do you know the demeanor of the regent back then, since her, people in the royal family have never underestimated women, and the upbringing of women is also very important. It will not be limited to the backyard. The education of the daughter's family is not much different from that of the man. Therefore, any woman with royal blood has the right to speak at home, whether it is an unmarried daughter or a married one. You are not a superficial person, and your family will respect what you say."

It turned out that Baochai realized that Zhu Xiuzhen's status might be higher than she thought.

"Then..." Baochai thought about it, "I'll go and see Sister Zhu first, and ask her if she's willing to help."

"Go." Zhen Shiyin raised his hand, and Mrs. Xue was a little worried: "My son, if Miss Zhu helps us, we will naturally thank her. If she is not busy, my son should not be angry, that is also her nature." point."

Baochai nodded to show that she understood.

After she went out, Zhen Shiyin breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the tea and took a sip, and said to Mrs. Xue: "Sisters and sisters don't have to worry, since that Miss Zhu is here, she means to help."

Mrs. Xue suppressed the excitement and worry in her heart, and just talked with the Zhen couple while waiting for news from Baochai.

Baochai took care of her makeup, she now changed into a plain white dress, and took off all kinds of jewelry on her head, now she is only wearing a small white gauze flower, and the other is a small White pearl hairpins hold the hair in place.

She was originally extremely majestic and magnificent, but now that she came out so plain, she was a little more frail and elegant, and she had another look.

When she appeared in front of Zhu Xiuzhen, Zhu Xiuzhen compared Baochai at this moment with Baochai who was talking and laughing with her in the teahouse some time ago, and she felt a little more distressed.

"There are some things to be busy at home. I've been waiting for you for a long time." Baochai bowed and said in a tactful tone.

Zhu Xiuzhen came over and took her hand: "What relationship do you have with me, don't say such irrelevant words."

Although Zhu Xiuzhen's temperament is correct, she is also somewhat lively, and it must have something to do with her background, or it may be that her relatives are used to it, and she always speaks with indescribable innocence and purity: "I just heard your family's I feel sad and worried about you, so I came to see you, and I just want to tell you one thing, don’t hide it when you have difficulties, just tell me, if you can help me, I will definitely not refuse.”

Baochai bowed her head when she heard this, and wondered in her heart whether she should tell Zhu Xiuzhen what she had discussed with Zhen Shiyin.

While Baochai was meditating, Zhu Xiuzhen grabbed Chen Yu who had been sitting in the corner drinking tea without saying a word, and pointed at Chen Yu: "This is Chen Yu. Even if he came today, he can't get away. , as long as there is something I can't help, I will push it to him."

Baochai was startled, and looked up, only to realize that she hadn't noticed that there was another boy in the room.

I saw that this boy was about twelve or thirteen years old, his stature hadn't grown yet, but he was still somewhat slender, his figure was like bamboo like pine, his face was as white as porcelain, delicate as jade, especially his The eyes are hard to describe and draw, and the black eyeballs are as bright as black gemstones soaked in water.

But this young man looked very familiar, Baochai thought about it carefully, and a bit of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
