The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 133 Aunt Xue in action
In the seventh year of Hongde, the first day of September.

Four days later, it will be Jia Jing's birthday in Ningguo Mansion.

On this day, Jia Jing returned home from court, and had just had lunch with Lin Daiyu.

Suddenly, a servant from Ningguo Mansion was ordered to invite Jia Jing to discuss matters concerning Jia Jing's birthday on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Jia Jing asked: "Brother Zhen made his own decisions in the past, so why are you discussing it this year?"

Hearing Jia Jing's question, the young servant hurriedly bowed and replied: "Our master originally planned to follow the example of previous years, but yesterday the little Taoist priest from Xuanzhen Temple sent a letter saying that the grandpa's birthday this year will be celebrated." I've been in the temple, and I won't come back.

If the master thought about it, he could take the opportunity to invite everyone to get together, so he called the servants to invite the masters from both sides of the house to discuss how to arrange that day! "

Jia Jing nodded, "In this case, let's go and have a look!"

After all, Jia Jing got up and went to Ningguo Mansion with the servant.

…………

But he said that Jia Jing had just left the house not long ago.

Outside, Zicuckoo came in and reported to Lin Daiyu: "Ma'am, my aunt is here!"

Lin Daiyu hurriedly said, "Please bring in Auntie!"

After a while, Aunt Xue opened the curtain and came in.

As soon as Fang entered the door, he smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for nearly a month since the old lady's birthday, and your complexion is getting better and better!"

Lin Daiyu asked Aunt Xue to sit down.

Hearing Aunt Xue's words again, she laughed and said, "Brother Jing is at home recently, and I've been eating and drinking all day long, so naturally I've gained weight!"

Hearing this, Aunt Xue praised from the bottom of her heart: "Brother Jing treats you, that's really nothing to say! I don't know how many people are envious!"

Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing.

……

After Aunt Xue chatted with Lin Daiyu for a while, as if she suddenly remembered something, her face slowly fell silent.

Lin Daiyu naturally noticed the change in Aunt Xue, so she asked, "Is there something wrong with Aunt Xue?"

"This one……"

Aunt Xue hesitated to speak, her face was full of embarrassment...

When Lin Daiyu saw her, she first ordered Xueyan Zijuan next to her to say: "You two go outside and watch, everyone else go down first, I'll talk to my aunt!"

The maids and women who were serving inside and outside the house all bowed and retreated after hearing the words.

At this time, Lin Daiyu just said again: "Auntie, you have always loved me, and I remember it in my heart! I lost my mother when I was young, and I have long regarded my aunt as my own mother in my heart. Now that my aunt has something to do, Why didn't you tell me?!"

Hearing Lin Daiyu's words, Aunt Xue first glanced at the door.

Afterwards, he said eagerly: "I shouldn't have asked this question, but at this time, I can't ask it... That's... Have you ever thought of taking a concubine for Brother Jing?"

"Concubine?"

Lin Daiyu couldn't help being taken aback when she heard the words, but she told Aunt Xue truthfully: "We just got married not long ago, and we haven't thought about taking concubines for the time being!"

Immediately, he frowned again and asked Aunt Xue, "Could it be that there is a family that asked Auntie to be a matchmaker?"

Speaking of this, Lin Daiyu's beautiful face like flowers and jade also showed strands of anger.

Seeing this, Aunt Xue quickly waved her hands and said, "No one asked me to be a matchmaker!"

"Then why did Auntie talk about taking a concubine for Brother Jing so well?"

When Aunt Xue heard the words, she sighed, her eyebrows raised, "I'm asking this for Baochai..."

"Sister Xue?" Lin Daiyu was startled, "A fairy like Sister Xue is also a character, how did she get to the point of becoming a concubine?"

"Bao girl is a strong one, and this is her own choice!"

Looking up again, Aunt Xue's eyes were already red, "Last month, on the old lady's birthday, you were also present. At the birthday banquet, what did your good aunt say, and what she said almost called Bao Chai almost didn't find a crack in the ground and slipped in.

When I got home, my eyes were swollen from crying in the room. "

Thinking of the scene that day, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but sighed.

She took out her silk handkerchief and wiped her eyes, then Aunt Xue continued: "After I found out about this, I immediately thought about finding a good family for Bao girl and asking her to marry me a matter of heart.

But our family is from a merchant family, and all we found were similar families. Girl Bao was so frustrated that she would rather be a concubine than marry a rich family.

I thought about it left and right, since they are all concubines, why not just marry Brother Jing as a concubine, so I can rest assured!

First of all, girl, as an upright wife, you are a good person in your heart, and there is no need to say much about Brother Jing's character.

No, I'm licking my face and coming to you today, right? ! "

As he spoke, tears fell from his eyes.

Lin Daiyu's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she comforted Aunt Xue and said, "Don't cry, Auntie, tell Sister Xue when you get back, as long as she is willing to come, don't dare to say anything else, there must be a yard for her in the mansion!

At that time, our sisters will be able to play together for a long time! "

"Good boy! Good boy!" Aunt Xue held Lin Daiyu's hand tightly, her expression extremely moved.

But he was worried again: "But will this embarrass you?"

Lin Daiyu said: "It's okay. Anyway, sooner or later, Brother Jing will have a concubine room, so it's better to ask Sister Xue to accompany me! It's what I wish for!"

When Aunt Xue heard the words, her eyes were red, as if she was moved by anything.

In order to avoid any changes, Aunt Xue made an agreement with Lin Daiyu to welcome Xue Baochai in on the third day of September.

After that, Aunt Xue hurried away with a happy face.

……

"Ma'am, didn't Miss Xue often come to our house some time ago? I didn't see it like what my aunt said! What my aunt said was random, and it was obviously nonsense. Why did you call Madam you?" Are you coaxed?"

After Aunt Xue left, the snow geese outside came in and said anxiously: "The concubine sent an aunt to Lord Hou, how can you agree?"

Lin Daiyu looked calm, picked up the hawthorn honey water in front of her, took a sip, and asked, "Why do I disagree?"

Xueyan opened her mouth, wanting to say the word "struggle for favor".

Lin Daiyu put down the teacup in her hand.

Continued: "Sister Xue is used to being acquainted with me, and the relationship in the past is like that of sisters, since she is willing to come to the house to be my company, then naturally there is nothing better.

Besides, sooner or later you have to take a concubine for Lord Hou, so what does it matter if it's later or sooner?
After taking a concubine, if I suddenly become pregnant or something, there will be someone who can take care of Brother Jing's daily life. "

……

The Zicuckoo next to him also understood.

Then he smiled at Xueyan: "Madam is right! Besides, Miss Xue is also a beauty who is second only to our Madam, plus Madam's charming appearance, wouldn't this be more able to tie the heart of Lord Hou ?
Just like the Second Mistress Lian in the Rong Mansion, she was so strict that she could hardly even touch Ping'er, who was the concubine of the Second Master Lian.

In the end, the second master Lian was forced to have no choice but to secretly raise his young wife outside, and now he doesn't come home all day, which one would you say is the best deal? "
