The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 540 The Old House of the Xue Family [Part [-]]

Aunt Xue didn't think as much as Mrs. Wang. After seeing her sister, she immediately rushed forward in three steps and two steps, grabbed Mrs. Wang's hand, shook it gently, and explained charmingly: "I I've wanted to see my sister for a long time, but I just moved here with a lot of things. Although I don't need to worry about things, it's not easy to leave - since my sister is here, don't rush to go back, at least I'm here Let's talk about it for a few days!"

As he spoke, his watery eyes were full of hope and anticipation.

This childlike figure, coupled with the gentle and mature facial features, and the gourd figure wrapped in a blue-purple dress, really contradict each other and complement each other.

Coupled with the life-saving grace at the beginning...

It's no wonder that Jiao Shun fell in love with her.

Mrs. Wang sighed secretly, patted the back of her hand lightly with her backhand, and said with a smile: "You said that the family is very busy, so why should I keep bothering you?"

"This……"

Aunt Xue was at a loss for words.

"All right."

Mrs. Wang reminded again: "Let's go in and talk about it."

"Look at me!"

Aunt Xue slapped her forehead, and said annoyedly: "I was too happy to be patronizing, but I forgot to ask my sister to come in and talk—sister, let's go directly to the backyard."

As he spoke, he did not let go of Mrs. Wang's hand, and led her around the front hall, and went round and round to the main room in the backyard.

The furnishings here are quite different from those when Aunt Xue was in Lixiangyuan.

However, compared to when she was living under the fence, Aunt Xue's attire is obviously a little more lively, and the gold, jade, pearls and emeralds on her head have increased by nearly half-she is a widowed woman after all, no matter how much she likes Chinese clothing in her heart, she can't. It's not easy to show it in front of people, and now there is no need to shy away from being a single family.

Mrs. Wang sized her up for a while, and was hesitating how to start the conversation, when she saw that Aunt Xue seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and she raised her voice and said: "Go and find Miss."

How dare you say what Mrs. Wang wants to say in front of Baochai?
She was about to open her mouth to stop her right away, but Aunt Xue spoke quickly, and the maid outside the door who was in charge of delivering the message was even faster, before she opened her mouth, she ran away in an evil wind.

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to cut straight to the point: "You remove the person first, I have a few words to tell you personally."

After hearing this, Aunt Xue immediately drove all the mothers-in-law and maids out with a wave of her hand, and then asked curiously: "Sister came here overnight, is there something important?"

"There is one important thing."

Mrs. Wang first briefly described the matter, and then changed the subject: "But I came here overnight, and I also wanted... to make things happen."

Hearing that my sister said that she wanted to call Jiao Shun to the house, and that she wanted to help herself, how could Aunt Xue not understand?
Unconsciously, she bent her jade neck in embarrassment, and deliberately concealed a few words of duplicity, but she was afraid that her sister would believe it was true, so she really changed her mind - Jiao Shun's little thoughtfulness from time to time, and her repeated efforts to solve problems for Xue's family Under the attack, her heart has already completely fallen, but she dare not show it decisively and proactively like Mrs. Wang.

Seeing that although my younger sister looked like a gourd with its mouth sawn off, she had clearly written the answer on that face full of embarrassment.

Mrs. Wang secretly lamented that Jiao Shun had done a lot of harm, and at the same time she spoke out the manuscript she typed on the road: "To be honest, although I could understand it, I didn't approve of you and that Jiao Shun...but since you moved out After that, when I was alone in that lonely hut, I suddenly realized how hard it has been for you all these years."

"elder sister!"

Due to time constraints, there was little succession between these two matters. If someone was smart and suspicious, he would probably suspect that Mrs. Wang wanted to use her.

But Aunt Xue didn't think about it at all, she raised her head and said incoherently: "I, I also know that I shouldn't... But Brother Shun... I can't let him down..."

She was more contradictory inside than outside. On the one hand, she was moved by Jiao Shun, and she was already very willing, but on the other hand, she was unavoidably influenced by worldly ideas, and felt that she should never be like this.

"I know I know!"

Mrs. Wang reached out and patted her on the arm, and sighed: "Although I am not a widow like you at a young age, I am no different from a widow now-to tell you the truth, if there is really a brother like Shun Even a young and promising person treats me with such heart and soul, I'm afraid I may not be able to control it!"

"elder sister!"

When Aunt Xue heard these words of approval for her behavior for the first time, she couldn't help but be moved by her sister's support and protection for her. Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes in a moment of excitement, and she couldn't help but threw herself into Mrs. Wang's arms and cried for a while. But suddenly I heard a servant woman outside calling out: "Missy is here."

Aunt Xue froze for a moment, then turned her back in embarrassment, and hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

yard.

Xue Baochai subconsciously stopped when she saw the servants and maidservants outside the door.

She was originally in Baoqin's house, talking to her about household chores, so that Baoqin could go to work at any time and help her prepare for her brother's marriage together.

During this period, I suddenly heard that Mrs. Wang was coming, so I hurriedly pulled Baoqin and came to see her together.

Seeing this battle now, I suddenly realized that my aunt came back for some important matter.

Just as he was trying to figure out why, he suddenly saw a small mercury mirror in front of him.

Baochai stared blankly at her own reflection inside, then turned to look at Baoqin: "What are you doing?"

"Hee hee~"

Baoqin pursed her lips and smiled coquettishly, shaking the small mirror in her hand and said: "The ugly daughter-in-law is afraid of seeing her in-laws. My sister is naturally beautiful, so what is there to be afraid of?"

"Bah~"

Baochai snatched the small mirror with her hands, and said angrily: "You have only lived in Xiaoxiang Pavilion for how long, how did you get your sister Lin's habit of being funny?"

However, after being interrupted by Bao Qin, she also suddenly realized that after a few months, the person inside was not only her aunt, but also her mother-in-law.

Thinking of this, she really became timid.

"What are you doing standing outside? Come in and talk."

It just so happened that Mrs. Wang's greeting came from inside, Xue Baochai hurriedly calmed down, and walked into the living room with Baoqin.

And until the two of them saw the ceremony, Aunt Xue still had a bit of panic in returning the gift.

This can't be blamed on her, just now the two of them were still discussing some matters of giving and receiving privately, but now they suddenly faced two juniors, and they couldn't help but feel a little hot.

Mrs. Wang was actually a little uncomfortable as well, but she still had a little bit of the city anyway, so she tried her best to pretend to be okay and said with a smile: "I heard from your mother that you are taking care of the whole family?"

"Don't listen to your mother's nonsense."

Baochai also laughed and said, "Let's not say that mother and aunt are the ones who make up their minds about big things. My brother and Xue Biao are already in the house, so I don't need to take care of many things."

Mrs. Wang was very satisfied with her attitude of not taking credit for her pride, she nodded and was about to ask a few more questions about housework, when Baoqin next to her suddenly pushed Baochai to her and said with a smile: The rules, let’s wait until next year, only your niece is in front of your eyes, you don’t love her, but why do you ask all kinds of things?”

Although the matter of admitting to be a daughter is a bit anticlimactic, but the two have finally decided on their names.

Saying that, Baoqin pushed Baochai on his back again.

Baochai staggered half a step, and Mrs. Wang embraced her smoothly, and said with a smile: "Come on, let's go, this Qin girl has no time to be unreasonable."

"Then I'm really right."

As Baoqin said, she bullied into Aunt Xue's arms again, and said with a smile: "Auntie's body is soft and fragrant, but my sister always occupies it. This time I got it."

Seeing her innocent and eccentric appearance, everyone burst into laughter, and there was no disharmony at all.

Xue Baochai also took advantage of the opportunity to snuggle in Mrs. Wang's arms for a while, but she couldn't get used to it, so she stood up while pouring tea for the two of them, and said, "Why didn't my aunt send someone to stop by when she came back this time? "

"I came in a hurry, so I didn't even bother to stand in front."

Mrs. Wang waved her hand, knowing that she was asking her why she came, so she repeated the whole story.

Hearing that it was related to Jia Baoyu's future, Baochai became interested immediately, and asked for a few details, but Mrs. Wang's side was full of second-hand information, and she was not familiar with the official system of the court, so I can only make a rough guess.

Baochai was not very satisfied with this, but she also knew that if she continued to ask, she would not get the answer she wanted, so she changed the subject: "I don't know how Baoyu thinks about this matter?"

She originally wanted to say "Brother Bao", but thinking that Baoyu would soon become her beloved, she temporarily changed to calling him by his first name.

"This……"

Mrs. Wang was taken aback by the question, only then did she realize that the whole house was full of quarrels, but no one thought of asking Jia Baoyu, the client, what he meant.

However, with Jia Baoyu's usual attitude, his reaction to this is not difficult to predict.

…………

"Official?!"

Inside the Zhuijin Building, Jia Baoyu, who had no self-knowledge, complained constantly because the Nan'an County Lord did not invite him, the veteran of the founding society, but suddenly heard the news from Jia Tanchun that he might go to study engineering and become an official .

Immediately, he jumped three feet high, and shouted angrily: "What kind of official?! Why should I be an official? I don't want to be an official!"

Faced with his furious appearance, Tanchun explained helplessly: "I didn't want to force my brother to become an official, but this time I was tricked by outsiders. The master is very worried about this, and my wife is planning to go to Jiao's house to ask for help for my brother." Brother Jiao, come forward."

"Masters, wives, and ancestors are all worried about my brother, but my brother only cares about playing petty temper, and doesn't care about his parents and family business. How can this happen? Besides, it was nothing before, but now my brother is about to start a family. stand……"

"How can you get married?!"

Jia Baoyu interrupted her, and asked with a straight neck: "It was agreed earlier, as long as I go to the palace from time to time to make the emperor happy, I will be allowed to be an idler at home-when the emperor summoned me in the past two years, how often have I refused?" ? If you really want to talk about it, it was the master and wife who broke their trust with me first! But why did they become my temper again?!"

Seeing his reluctance, Tanchun felt helpless. Just as he was about to persuade him again, Lin Daiyu sneered and said, "Why are you shouting at the third sister? If you really want to be reasonable, just go to the master and argue——" Didn’t the ancestors say that the more the truth is debated, the clearer it is!”

"me……"

Jia Baoyu seemed to have been splashed with cold water, and the arrogance disappeared without a trace in an instant. He sat back on the chair slumped, and after a long while, he sighed again: "After all, it is rare to be free in the mundane world..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to touch the bun on the top of his head, wishing he could shave off the hair of his troubles and escape into Buddhism like Uncle Jing from the Ningguo Mansion.

His posture met Xichun's eyes.

So Jia Xichun, who was not recognized by the six relatives, came forward to comfort him in a rare way: "Brother, don't worry, this matter may not be guaranteed. If it doesn't work, wouldn't you be worrying for nothing?"

Baoyu thinks about it, Jiao Shun may not be able to do what Yong Yibo can't do...

uh~
With Brother Jiao's wrist, it should be possible, right?

Rather than hoping that he can't do it, it's better to hope that he won't accept the matter. As long as he resolutely refuses, then the mother can't directly bully the king, right?
…………

The perspective returns to Xue's old house.

Seeing Mrs. Wang's expression, Baochai naturally understood that she hadn't consulted Baoyu, and immediately reminded: "Baoyu is good at everything else, but he likes to be horny. Why don't Madam send someone back and let the maids keep an eye on it? lest……"

Although she didn't say anything explicitly in the second half, Mrs. Wang still became nervous all of a sudden. That's right, she was too busy thinking about Jiao Shun and her son's future, but she forgot about his son's extreme and weird personality.

If something goes wrong, what's the use of fighting for the official position for him?

So he couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly ordered Caiyun to go back and send a message to the attackers, telling them to keep a close eye on Baoyu, and then enlighten him for himself. If he does well, he will be rewarded heavily in the future.

When Caiyun took orders to go, Mrs. Wang was still restless, the wrong side was equally important, she wished she could just throw her hands away and leave.

Seeing this, Baochai hurriedly said many comforting words, and Mrs. Wang gradually recovered.

Glancing at the taciturn Aunt Xue, she returned to the purpose of her trip: "I heard that the Jiao family's newly built house is not far from here?"

"It's not far."

Baochai said: "It's getting late, why don't you invite brother Jiao over here to discuss business?"

Although it was a question, she immediately opened her mouth and appointed someone.

At this moment, Bao Qin obediently got up from Aunt Xue, and said with a smile, "Then let's go back first..."

"Brother Jiao is not an outsider."

Baoqin naturally wanted to avoid it, after all, she hadn't figured out how to face Jiaoshun yet, but just in the middle of speaking, Baochai suddenly stopped her from saying goodbye: "Although the big idea must come to Auntie and Brother Jiao, , but there is a saying that one more person is more powerful, maybe we can help to find out what is missing and make up for it.”

As she spoke, she smiled again and said, "Isn't that what you did when you punished the Mei family earlier?"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue couldn't help but looked at each other.

If the girls were there, how could they be told to do such an unethical and immoral thing?

But what Baochai said is also reasonable, Jiao Shun asked the girls for help, there is a precedent, so what excuse should they use to make Baochai and Baoqin avoid?
