The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 129 Baochai's Visit to the Hou Mansion
Wuhou Mansion.

When Jia Jing came back from the palace, she saw Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai sitting on the kang embroidering and chatting in the room.

"Sister Xue is here! She's a rare visitor!"

Jia Jing put the poetry collection, pocket watch and cage on the table in the room, took the teacup in front of Lin Daiyu, and drank the cooled tea in one gulp.

"Oh, you!"

With Xue Baochai around, Lin Daiyu was a little ashamed, "It's easy to ask the maid to refill a cup of tea, but I just drink my tea!"

Seeing that Lin Daiyu was a little embarrassed, Jia Jing quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Isn't the newly poured tea hot! I came back all the way in the sun again, and I am really thirsty!"

Lin Daiyu heard this, and saw that Jia Jing's forehead was indeed dripping with sweat, so she didn't care to say anything about Jia Jing, so she hurriedly called the snow geese outside, and said, "Go and get a pot of sour plum soup that I specially chilled for Lord Hou." !"

After all, Lin Daiyu asked Jia Jing to be next to her, picked up the round fan on the table, and fanned Jia Jing to relieve the heat.

……

Beside, Xue Baochai looked at the items Jia Jing put on the table, and asked curiously, "Where did Third Brother Jing get the three items?"

Jia Jing laughed and said: "They all got it from the Holy Majesty in the palace. His Majesty allowed me to fetch three things from his treasury, and then I took them out..."

Lin Daiyu heard the words, looked at the three things on the table, and couldn't help laughing: "I went to His Majesty's treasure house once, and didn't take so many treasures, why did I take out these three things?"

"treasure?"

Speaking of these two words, Jia Jing was speechless.

Afterwards, he told Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai what happened, especially when it came to the difference between Emperor Hongde's treasury and the inner treasury, which made the two girls laugh.

For a while, clear laughter like silver bells sounded in the room from time to time.

After a pause, Jia Jing pointed at the three items and said with a smile: "But the few items I picked are also good!"

As he said that, Jia Jing handed the collection of poems to Lin Daiyu, saying: "For example, Madam always loves to read books. I just found this "Collected Works of Layman Yi'an" in it. Madam must like it!" (Li Qingzhao, No. Yi'an Jushi.)
Sure enough, Lin Daiyu was still very interested in the collection of poems, so she took it over and looked through it for a while, and said: "This is indeed a rare thing. Most of the collections written by Lay Yi An have been lost. This "Collected Works of Lay Yi An" ", is a rare orphan copy!"

Jia Jing smiled and said: "I don't know what is a rare copy or not. It's just because I have never seen this book in Madam's collection, so I took it back to fill Madam's bookshelf!"

Then he handed the pocket watch and birdcage to Lin Daiyu, "This pocket watch was handed down from the West, I'll leave it for you to see the time and use it!"

In the end, Jia Jing brought the exquisite birdcage and said with a smile: "This is for the parrot that you kept under the eaves. After living in that small cage for so long, it should be replaced with a bigger one." Already!!"

Lin Daiyu laughed and said, "It's really embarrassing for you, you even miss the parrot in my house!"

He smiled and said to the parrot outside the curtain: "Master Hou brought you an exquisite and spacious new house, thank you soon!"

Hearing Lin Daiyu's words, the parrot immediately nodded its head and said, "Good luck, Lord Hou!"

The funny people all laughed.

……

After a while.

The laughter in the room gradually died down.

Jia Jing said to Xue Baochai, "I forgot to ask just now, how come sister Xue is free today?"

Xue Baochai laughed: "After staying in my yard for a long time, I naturally feel irritable, why don't I come out to relax!"

"It's rare for Sister Xue to come here, so she must treat her well today!" Jia Jing said to Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu glanced at Jia Jing, and said: "Sister Xue and I are no different from our own sisters, so you need to tell me? I have already ordered you to go down, and today we want to have a good meal!"

……

On the side, Xue Baochai looked at the person in front of him with brows and eyes brimming with bliss and joy. How could there be the faint melancholy and melancholy shadow he saw when he first arrived in Jia's mansion two years ago?

All this is because of marrying a good husband!

Xue Baochai was full of envy.

Thinking of this, Xue Baochai couldn't help but cast a glance at Jia Jing who was listening intently to Lin Daiyu.

Sensing Xue Baochai's gaze, Jia Jing smiled apologetically, then turned her head to respond to Lin Daiyu's words.

Looking at Jia Jing's patient and gentle appearance, even after getting married, there is no change, on the contrary, there is more love and pampering for Lin Daiyu.

It reminded me of Jia Mu's birthday yesterday.

It was a top-level gathering of married women in Shenjing. Even Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, who were Lin Daiyu's mother-in-law and aunt, had to stand behind Jia Mu to wait on them.

But Lin Daiyu can sit next to Jiamu generously, because her husband is Zhaowuhou.And on the day of her marriage, she achieved the goal that many women could not dream of in their lifetime, and obtained the official status of the second rank.

Even Jia Yingchun, even though she was a concubine, was vying for it because of Jia Jing.

When Xue Baochai thought of the scene where everyone turned their eyes away after learning that he was from a merchant's family, Xue Baochai felt mixed feelings in his heart for a moment.

There is a saying: Fame is full of bragging, but power is really smoldering.

Until this time, Xue Baochai knew the strength of the Jia family and the importance of Jia Jing's status and power!
This time Xue Baochai came out to relax because Aunt Xue learned of Mrs. Wang's words in full view after Jiamu's birthday yesterday. Aunt Xue was extremely annoyed and wanted to see Xue Baochai as soon as possible.

How could Aunt Xue not know what Mrs. Wang was thinking?

It is nothing more than to completely eliminate the possibility of Xue Baochai marrying into a noble family.

When Xue Baochai was defeated in the palace, the two sisters also had the intention to match Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai, but after Jia Jing came back, with Jia Jing's jewels in front of her, Aunt Xue naturally lost her mind for Jia Baoyu, that unprogressive phoenix egg .

It's just that although Jia Jing is interested in Jia Jing, there is no good way for a while, so she put it on hold for the time being.

Then there was Jia Jing's promotion all the way, reaching an unattainable height, and Aunt Xue was even more helpless.

Later, as Jia Jing made Hou Yuanchun the concubine, the power of the Jia family became more and more important. Even Mrs. Wang was not so satisfied with the Xue family's status as a merchant. give up.

However, Mrs. Wang's eyes on the rich wealth of the Xue family have long been in the eyes of Mrs. Wang, but she must never let it go!

With the rapid rise of the Jia family in the past two years, especially when Yuan Chun was made a concubine in the palace, as Yuan Chun's younger brother, Jia Baoyu's status has also risen accordingly, and there are more choices of regular wives.

To put it even more, even if it is the child of his own sister, in Mrs. Wang's calculation at this time, there is only one concubine seat left for Xue Baochai, who was born as a merchant.

When she thought about the inexplicable words referring to Qu Yu in the previous exchanges and walks, combined with this incident, Aunt Xue suddenly came to a sudden realization.

But ask Xue Baochai to be Jia Baoyu's concubine, how can Aunt Xue be willing?

It was after Xue Baochai went back to Lixiangyuan yesterday that she talked about what happened on Jia Mu's birthday, and only then learned about it from her own mother. After hearing Aunt Xue's analysis, she suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
