A visit to Fangchun

The old lady Xia tried her best to keep Xue's mother and son, but Baochai told her in a gentle and tactful way: "I should have stayed with my aunt. It's just that someone came at home in the afternoon, and it seemed disrespectful that our mother and son were not at home. Brother and Mr. Xia I didn’t know there was such a thing when we made the appointment, and it’s not good if we don’t make the appointment. I can only ask my aunt to be considerate to us.”

After saying the words "appearing disrespectful", the mother and daughter of the Xia family had nothing to say, which made it clear that a nobleman was coming.Even if the two families of their own have a royal character, they are basically merchants.Such a family, how can they have the courage to neglect noble people?He had no choice but to let him go reluctantly.

However, Xue Pan was obsessed with the flower-like appearance of the girl from the Xia family. When he entered the door and asked if anyone was coming, he immediately lost his temper with Aunt Xue: "Isn't this a lie? Why can't we eat at her house?" The last meal? After so many years of family friends, even a meal is not willing to condescend, when did our family become so precious?"

When Xue Baochai heard him mention the word "Jingui", she understood, bent her lips, and asked him: "The old lady of the Xia family likes you so much, I'm afraid she will force you to have dinner with our wives. At that time, you will be adopted by others." Should the son who came to inherit the family business go out to eat by himself? Or do you want your sister and I to eat at the same table with a foreigner? If this meal is really used, and the imperial concubine wants me to enter the palace to accompany her tomorrow, I can still do it. Can I go in?"

If this meal is used, my sister's life will be forcibly taken over by the Xia family!

Xue Pan finally reacted to this level, cold sweat broke out on his face, and quickly bowed to Baochai: "Good sister, I was reckless! I think too little! I almost hurt my sister!"

Xue Baochai naturally knew that her elder brother would never harm her, but she just didn't have the brains to do so, so she smiled and said, "My elder brother will often be outside in the future, so be careful, those people outside are probably trying to trick you!"

However, Xue Pan disagreed that the old lady of the Xia family wanted to harm Baochai, and praised the girl of the Xia family for her beauty: "It looks like she is gentle and polite, not to mention I heard and read the book."

Aunt Xue heard that he was even talking about someone else's girl, so she hurriedly ordered Baochai to rest by herself, twisted his son's ear and scolded him: "What else can you see with your thief eyes? She is the daughter of a family friend, you should respect her like a younger sister, Why are you chewing your tongue behind your back?"

Seeing his sister gone, Xue Pan salivated and pulled Aunt Xue to act coquettishly: "Mother, you see that girl is so gentle and beautiful, and she doesn't have any serious sons in her family. Aunt Xia will only rely on this daughter in the future. If you lose your mother, you must be capable and obedient—she is more pitiful than your sister, she must have something to say to her, and she will definitely love to listen to you! You have found a matchmaker, so go ask for a marriage!?"

Ever since Xue Baochai entered the palace, Aunt Xue heard from Mrs. Wang that Concubine Yuan might propose marriage to Baochai, and her heart was already high.If it were in the past, Aunt Xue would have been hesitant if Xue Pan liked the girl from the Xia family so much, but at this time she flatly refused: "This will not work. If your sister really has a good marriage, but you marry a merchant for her?" She is a sister-in-law, not to mention there is such a wretched brother-in-law, if this news gets out, should your sister be a human being in her husband's house? Absolutely not!" Seeing that Xue Pan was about to jump up in anger, he hurriedly comforted him: "Let's Wait a minute. If the empress in the palace can decide on your younger sister's marriage, then you will marry well, and you will naturally be able to seek an official position. When you marry an official lady to be the main wife, my mother will beg you to marry the girl from the Xia family Make a side room, do you think it's okay?"

As soon as Xue Pan heard that his mother allowed him to marry the two, he was immediately elated, agreed with a smile, and went back to his room to "report the good news" to his concubine Xiangling.

Here, Xue Baochai heard that Tong Xi secretly reported the conversation between Aunt Xue and Xue Pan, and couldn't help being angry and amused.

Before the word of my marriage has even been written off, Concubine Yuan and Mrs. Wang are salivating over the property of the Xue family. If they really hear that Xue Pan can marry the daughter of Osmanthus Xia's family as his wife and get the money from the Xia family, he can only I'm afraid that at that time, I could do it all in front of my mother.

This matter cannot be delayed.

Xue Baochai pondered for a long time, and made Tongxi happy: "Go outside and tell Xiaobei, ask him to find out if there are any new plays or songs in the capital recently, just say that my brother is not in a good mood, let him take him quietly to relax, and the money will be paid." Do not think."

Tong Xi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

How is this asking Xiaobei to take the uncle to listen to Qu'er?This is to let Xue Pan go to the brothel Chu Pavilion, so that he can get his mind off as soon as possible!

Tongxi lowered his head and went out to spread the word.

As if nothing had happened, Xue Baochai called Wen Xing to come in to help remove her hair and make-up. Seeing her clumsiness, she couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Where's that Konoha who helped you clean up the house earlier?"

Wen Xing was only about ten years old, and it was really difficult to serve him. He hurriedly said: "Mu Ye went outside to make dinner for the wife and the girl. I thought the wife and the lady would have to eat outside today before coming back, so I didn't have lunch ready." As soon as Konoha heard outside that his wife had come back, he yelled "Oops, and ran to the kitchen."

Xue Baochai nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, you go and replace her. Mom has a lot of things to do when she eats. She is more dexterous and thick-skinned."

Wen Xing couldn't wait to make a sound, and hurriedly helped Xue Baochai remove the hairpin ring from her head, and then ran away.

Xue Baochai slowly removed her hair by herself, and Konoha walked in quickly, with a basin of hot water in her hand, bent her knees with a smile, and said with a smile: "Young lady is back? I'll wait on you first." Shall the girl wash her face?"

He stepped forward and took Xue Baochai's comb without saying a word, and loosely rolled it up for her three times, then took a large handkerchief to cover her front lapel, raised the basin with both hands, knelt on the ground, let Baochai cleans the face.

Baochai just felt more comfortable in her heart.
