Hengwu Garden.
The sky was still bright, so Ying'er took out a cup of nourishing medicinal food from the small kitchen, bypassed the few clumps of evergreen exotic flowers and plants, and entered the hall of the main room.
Originally, he was going to be sent directly into the inner room, but was stopped by Xue Baochai slanting down.
"Leave me alone—you go to the front yard and ask to see when you're going."
Today, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue made an appointment to go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, so Baochai gave this order.
"Be careful, girl, this little casserole is hot."
Ying'er carefully handed the medicinal meal into Xue Baochai's hands, and then she felt her earlobe and left Hengwu Garden, rushing to Madam Wang's place in the front yard.
Xue Baochai carried the medicinal meal into the inner room and settled it on the marble round table in the center.
Looking back to see Aunt Xue still wearing very simple clothes and drawing pictures in front of the dressing table, she couldn't help but said angrily: "Mother knows that people can cook this medicinal meal to nourish her body, but why is she not afraid of getting cold?"
Aunt Xue was frowning, scanning the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and when she heard what her daughter said, she laughed: "As the old saying goes: Spring covers the autumn—and it's very warm in your house, so where is it? Can you catch a cold?"
Immediately, she showed some apprehension on her face, turned her plump and tender body, and warned solemnly: "You must not spread the words our mothers said last night!"
But it turned out that Aunt Xue tossed and turned for a few days. Last night, she finally couldn't help it and told her daughter Mrs. Wang's plan.
It was only after she finished speaking that she regretted it a little bit, for fear that her daughter would accidentally leak it out and lead to some calamity - so from last night to now, this is the fifth time she has repeatedly warned her.
As a result, Baochai didn't bother to respond seriously, so he stepped forward and pulled Aunt Xue, pressed her to sit in front of the medicinal meal, used three fingers like green onions to pinch the lid of the purple sand pagoda, and took a silver spoon and stuffed it into her hand.
Aunt Xue had long been used to being 'controlled' by her daughter, so she didn't take it for granted. She scooped up the soup and blew it cold, sipping it in small sips.
Xue Baochai took care of herself again, tidying up the clothes that her mother was going to wear today, and after thinking about it at the end, she dug out a dozen sticks of sandalwood from the box, and divided half of them into a red sandalwood box.
"This is summer. I got it together with my sisters. I can't bear to use it. It's better for my mother to take it and offer it to the Bodhisattva."
After this work was over, Aunt Xue was still fighting with the little cup of medicinal food, and she didn't know when she would eat it.
Seeing this, Baochai silently took the dustpan, intending to do some needlework.
He just twisted the embroidery needle between his fingers, but he had no idea for a long time.
In the end, she sighed, inserted the embroidery needle into the spindle, and said quietly: "Actually, our family does not lack the support of nobles now, and my daughter has been thinking about it recently, if she can marry someone with a similar family, and live with Meimei. , wouldn't it be better to fight with Sister Lin?"
When Aunt Xue heard this, she suddenly lost her mind. She hurriedly put down the spoon in her hand, turned around and asked, "Good daughter, you... Did you also fall in love with the second son of the Sun family?!"
"What nonsense is your mother talking about!"
Xue Baochai immediately said annoyed: "Didn't I say it earlier, then Master Sun's concubine has a concubine and is really not a good match."
Just as they were talking, they heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside. The mother and daughter hurriedly stopped and looked out through the door curtain.
Seeing Ying'er picking up the curtains and entering, she said crisply, "Madam, girl—the concubine is ready, just wait for the madam to pass by."
When Aunt Xue heard this, she hurriedly called Ying'er to help her get dressed.
But he said that Baochai was sent to the outside of the hospital, and only then did he return to the boudoir until no one could be seen.
Sitting on the bed and thinking about what he just said, he couldn't help but let out another long sigh.
Three years ago, she said that Sun Shaozong was not a good match, which was indeed from the bottom of her heart, but now that the old words are repeated, it really shows a sense of guilt.
Although Sun Shaozong's family has favored concubines and concubines, the deeds that he has now dignified Tongji are enough to make up for all the deficiencies.
If there is no gem...
Do not!
According to Sun Shaozong's current momentum, the power in the future may not necessarily be inferior to Rongguo Mansion, let alone Jia Baoyu is only from the second house, and he is not the owner of Rongguo Mansion.
Therefore, even compared with Baoyu, he is still a good match.
only…
The family spent several years in this Grand View Garden. Seeing that Mrs. Wang had already secured the letter, how could the Xue family retreat
That's why she firmly refused in front of Aunt Xue, lest her mother reveal her words in front of Mrs. Wang and cause trouble again for no reason.
ah~
I don't know what means my aunt has to break up Baoyu and Sister Lin's pair of enemies - I hope she can be gentler, not as cruel as when she drove away Qingwen.
Thoughts are scattered, and I do not know the length of time.
When Ying'er came in again to report, it was almost exactly [10:00 am].
He heard Ying'er say, "Second auntie is back, and the eldest wife asked the sisters to come over and talk."
Jia Yingchun has returned to her parents' home
Didn't you just come here a few days ago
Baochai was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it. He hurried to the front yard under the service of Ying'er.
When passing through Nuanxiangwu, he happened to bump into Xing Xiuyan who was waiting outside.
Seeing that the big cloak on Xing Xiuyan's body was even brighter than his own, Xue Baochai couldn't help but teased, "My sister used to hide her clumsiness, but now she accidentally shows her feet."
Xing Xiuyan shook her head and laughed: "How can I have any feet? This was sent by the second sister the day before yesterday, and I wanted to keep it for the twelfth lunar month. Today, the second sister returns to her mother's house. It is inappropriate to not wear her face."
This made Xue Baochai even more surprised.
She knew that Jia Yingchun was a loner and would never take the initiative to invite anything, but how could she treat Xing Xiuyan differently
There was some suspicion in my heart, but they couldn't get to the point. It happened that Jia Xichun chased out of Nuanxiangwu, and the three of them rushed to the front yard together.
In addition to the Grand View Garden, another woman came up to spread the word, saying that Jia Yingchun went to the second grandmother's courtyard and let the girls go there.
So the three turned around again and rushed towards Wang Xifeng's Xiyun Pavilion.
Seeing Zuo Jin, the sisters were about to go up the stairs when they suddenly heard someone shouting angrily: "How can you get it if you go to ask for money?! It's better than being put on a green hat, but you don't even dare to ask. A strong voice!"
The three of them were stunned for a moment, each looked at each other, and then continued to drive in, but this time it was Jia Xichun walking in front, Xue Baochai and Xing Xiuyan adorning the back.
As soon as they crossed the threshold, they saw a lot of people surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the corridor. Among them, two teenagers glared at each other, but it was actually the two brothers Baoyu and Jia Huan.
