Small selection for entering the palace...

Xue Baochai listened to her mother's words, but only lowered her head in thought, and did not speak for a while.Because of her good looks and natural precocity, she has been carefully raised since she was young.It is no exaggeration to say that apart from her background, she is not inferior to a noble daughter of a family in any way.But because of this background issue, despite her identity as a merchant girl, not to mention that it is extremely difficult for her to enter the palace, even if she successfully enters the palace, can she really succeed?

Baochai's heart sank when she thought of the little things about Yuanchun that she had heard from the servants of Jia's mansion a few days ago.

"My son is so good-looking and good-natured, he will definitely pass the small election." Aunt Xue couldn't see her daughter worrying, especially since she hadn't suffered much since she was a child, and hoped that her daughter could live a carefree life like her. She was worried, but her daughter's temperament was very similar to her husband who died young. It is good to be extremely intelligent at a young age, but she is also very thoughtful.Not to mention, just because of the lack of her husband's support in the past two years, let alone the outside business, she can't even support the backyard, and thanks to her daughter's intelligence, even though she is still young, she still helps her manage it. In the backyard, he just survived the most difficult period of time.

Thinking of this, Aunt Xue's mouth became even more bitter.In fact, she is very clear about how much she weighs, and she also understands how she developed her temperament.I also know that since I was a child, I have lived a carefree life. It is strange that she can learn to strengthen.Similarly, my daughter is already so stable and decent at such a young age...

Ugh!

"Mother, do you really think I can enter the palace?" Baochai shook her head slightly.Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang are fighting in the ring, she can see this very clearly.Ordinarily, their biggest reliance should be Mrs. Wang, after all Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue are the two sisters who are direct relatives.But obviously, for some unknown reason, Mrs. Wang did not want her to enter the palace to run for election.As for Jia's mother, she was not bad to Baochai, but this time she offended Jia's mother first, and no one knows what will happen in the past.

"Yes, my son is so capable, how can he not?"

Hearing what her mother said, instead of feeling relieved, Baochai became more and more uncomfortable.She closed her eyes for a while, and when she opened them again, there was no hesitation in Baochai's eyes, only determination and calculation.After saying a few words to comfort Aunt Xue, Baochai immediately found an excuse and went to the garden with her maid.

……

"Grandma, Miss Bao is asking to see you outside."

Wang Xifeng took a nap, and played with sister Qiao for a while, when she suddenly heard Ping'er's voice outside, she was a little dazed: "Miss Bao?" After thinking about it for a while, Wang Xifeng smiled and told the nanny to take good care of Qiao Sister, but immediately walked outside quickly, leading Baochai to the main hall, "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and serve some refreshments."

Baochai didn't come here because of the stuttering, so she quickly declined, until the maidservants brought the refreshments and fruits on the table, and then she could not give up: "Sister Feng is very polite, we are cousins."

"Yes, we are cousins, we should have gotten close to each other a long time ago. Coincidentally, neither of us has direct sisters, so we can get along as direct sisters." When it comes to scenes, Wang Xifeng is not inferior to Baochai at all. of.However, at this moment, Wang Xifeng was thinking about Daiyu's losses at Baochai's hands several times in her previous life, and the smile on her face became even brighter.

"Good sister, you will love me more in the future." Baochai did not doubt that he was there, and of course the main reason was that the two of them had never had any conflicts so far.As for the previous generation, it was also very peaceful.This is because when Aunt Xue got married, Wang Ren was just born, and Wang Xifeng was not born at all. After that, Aunt Xue never returned to her natal family. Even though there were letters every year, those were just polite words, although there was no A sense of intimacy, and indeed no hatred.Even if Baochai knew that Wang Xifeng hadn't shown an overly enthusiastic attitude since their family came to Rongguo Mansion, but thinking that Wang Xifeng had to manage the huge Rongguo Mansion and take care of the young Qiaojie, It makes sense to ignore her cousin who is not very close.

"Alright, sister Bao is so likable, I naturally feel pain." Since Baochai intends to befriend her, Wang Xifeng will not object.Apart from other things, although the Xue family has no power, they have plenty of money.Wang Xifeng is quite happy to deal with rich people.

The two of them talked politely for a while, because Wang Xifeng was idle at first, so although Baochai seemed to have something to say, she was not in a hurry.Even if she wants to scam the Xue family's money, she is not in a hurry.

In the end, Xue Baochai couldn't bear it anymore.

"My dear sister, I have something I want to talk to you about, so I can ask for an idea." Baochai saw that Wang Xifeng was only slightly surprised when he heard this, but did not show any disgust. He breathed a sigh of relief, "My sister may not know that I came to Beijing with my mother and brother this time to participate in the palace election."

"It's fine, why does my sister insist on entering the palace to run for election?" Wang Xifeng pretended to suddenly understand, and occasionally showed a trace of suspicion appropriately.In fact, it wasn't all Wang Xifeng's pretense, no matter in her past or present life, she was not particularly familiar with Xue's family.Although Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue are both her aunts, there is a big difference between the two.After all, the status of Jia's mansion is there. When she was not married, she often came to Jia's mansion for a short stay, not to mention getting along with Mrs. Wang day and night after marriage.In comparison, she is really unfamiliar with Aunt Xue.She only vaguely remembered that in her previous life, Xue Baochai seemed to have gone to Beijing for the purpose of entering the palace, but it was a pity that this matter ended in nothing. She was not very curious, so she didn't bother to inquire about it.Now that I think about it carefully, it is very possible that this matter was stopped by Mrs. Wang at all.

Xue Baochai didn't know what Wang Xifeng was thinking at this time, but said hesitantly: "Sister Feng doesn't know, the situation of my Xue family is not as good as it was a few years ago. There is a lot of money in the family, but after my father left, the people outside A lot of business has been robbed, but my brother has such a temperament, I want to help the family, the only way I am afraid is to choose this road."

"That's true. Although entering the palace is extremely risky, if it can be done, it would be a good strategy." Wang Xifeng nodded appreciatively at first, and then shook her head when she saw Xue Baochai's instantly bright eyes. "Sister Bao only thinks about the benefits of entering the palace, but she forgot one very important thing."

"Is Sister Feng talking about risks? It's okay, I understand."

"No." Wang Xifeng picked up the teacup and took a sip, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face, but he finally opened his mouth, "The Xue family may not be able to send Sister Bao to the palace to participate in the election? I think, Sister Bao must be planning to ask the eldest aunt to help, am I right?"

"Yes." Baochai responded like this, but her heart was full of uneasiness, as if what Wang Xifeng said next would be a huge blow to her.

Sure enough, Wang Xifeng said, "Sister Bao, have you ever noticed the eldest sister from the eldest aunt?" Yuan Chun is the same age as Jia Lian, two years older than Wang Xifeng. Very familiar.Especially for a long time, there was only one sister in Rongguo Mansion, she was very pampered, and her relationship with Wang Xifeng was quite good.At least, on the surface it does.

"Sister Yuanchun? I know about it." Xue Baochai sighed suddenly. It's not that she didn't notice some things at all, but she just hoped that these things were due to her superfluous intentions, or there were other things inside.But now hearing Wang Xifeng's words, Xue Baochai couldn't continue to lie to herself, "Sister Feng wants to say, is there still no news from Sister Yuanchun?"

"No, I just want to remind my sister that if the eldest aunt has a way, she will definitely help the eldest sister with all her strength. After all, it is the flesh that fell from her body."

Xue Baochai was silent, just as she admitted, although Xue's family still has money, in a sense, it has reached the point of desperation.If she can't enter the palace to run for election...

"Sister Bao, let's go back and have a good discussion with my little aunt. It's not that I don't want you to enter the palace to run for election, but I just think that my elder sister who grew up with me has been in the palace for almost ten years now, but she is There is no news. Although the nobles in the palace are very kind, they can be released from the palace to meet with their families after they reach the age of 25. But to be honest, since five or six years ago, I have not looked forward to it. 25 years old... Bao Sister, you don't know how arrogant Eldest Sister is. Of course, she is capable of doing so. But I dare not imagine what it will be like if she leaves the palace and returns home after the age of 25." Wang Xifeng said The bitterness on her face, although there is a bit of pretentiousness in it, but after all she and Yuan Chun really have a sisterhood, and even if Mrs. Wang cheated her severely in her previous life, she would not take her anger on Yuan Chun.In particular, Yuan Chun was a hard-working woman.

Xue Baochai stared blankly at the teacup in her hand, but didn't drink it, just stared at it.Seeing her like this, Wang Xifeng immediately understood and didn't urge her, just drinking tea and eating snacks on her own.

After a while, Xue Baochai seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, put down the teacup in his hand, got up and respectfully bowed to Wang Xifeng, saying: "Thank you, Sister Feng, for telling me this, and I will discuss it with my mother later. Fantastic."

Wang Xifeng waved her hand and said with a smile: "Why do my sisters have to be so polite? In fact, Sister Bao really doesn't need to be so desperate. It's good for you to win over your natal family, but you can lose your whole life... If I You will definitely choose a good marriage, so that you can not only help your natal family, but also lead a happy life."

Xue Baochai suddenly raised her head, then quickly lowered her head.

These are enough.

After sending Xue Baochai away, Wang Xifeng was in a good mood leaning on the porch at the door and smiling, she believed that with Xue Baochai's cleverness, she must know the meaning of what she said just now.Of course, she believes that this life will be much more fun than the previous one.Just think about it, Daiyu withdrew from the circle of right and wrong early, but Baochai gave up the idea of ​​entering the palace early, and there is Xiangyun, who was placed high hopes by Jia Mu...

"Ping'er, come with me to Rongxi Hall to have a look." Of course, you have to bring Zijuan to find Jia Mu, but it's better to bring Ping'er, the dowry maid, to Mrs. Wang's place.Wang Xifeng is used to being a human being, so she won't be confused about such trivial matters.At that moment, the two master and servant tidied up a bit and then went to Rongxi Hall.

In Rongxi Hall, Mrs. Wang vented her anger on the maid beside her with a livid face.Hearing Wang Xifeng's arrival, he waved his hands resentfully and asked people to roll aside: "Brother Feng, did you hear about the wicked things that your good in-laws did?!"

Wang Xifeng raised her head blankly, she really came to inform.To be precise, she should have come to ask for a reward, because of Baochai's stubble.But what she doesn't understand is the same as her in-laws...

"Aunt, aren't you talking about the second sister?" Her father-in-law has done too many wicked things, especially for the second wife, and it's hard to count them all.But if her mother-in-law is included, then there is only Yingchun.After all, with Mrs. Xing's temperament, even if she wanted to do immoral things, she would not have the ability.

"Hmph! Changing from a concubine to a concubine, thanks to her being able to say it!"

really.Wang Xifeng understood it, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind, and hurriedly said to Mrs. Wang: "Auntie, regarding this matter... I have a good idea, Auntie, would you like to hear it?"
