The Red Chamber: Daiyu's eldest sister is not easy to be

Chapter 31

Ever since she learned of another way to enter the palace, Xue Baochai didn't want to waste any more time in Jia's house. She not only asked her elder brother to inquire about the news, but also didn't want her mother to have close contact with that greedy aunt again.

My mother can't see it, she thinks that she and my aunt are sisters, and thinks that my aunt will not harm their family, but she can see clearly that my aunt is simply playing with my mother and asking her to keep sending her money. That's all.

Since their family entered the Jia family, how much money did they give to their aunt Mrs. Wang, not to mention entering the palace as a maid, if there is a connection, entering the palace to be a female official is enough.

But my aunt kept pushing her excuses, saying that Eunuch Xia found it difficult to handle this matter, and she had to continue to send money, making it clear that she just took money and did nothing.

If only that's the case.

But since she mentioned that she wanted to marry Baoyu herself, why didn't she say it clearly, and let her play with Baoyu together with Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun.

What do you want to do, do you want her son to learn how the royal family chooses concubines?

My mother is a liar, she believes everything my aunt says, she gives money if she asks her, and she goes if she is asked to play with Baoyu. Most of the family savings are given away, and her reputation is starting to get bad. But still nothing.

Now that my aunt has lost such a big face, she is good-natured if she doesn't take pleasure in other's misfortunes, and her mother actually wants her to please the mother and son, what good thing is she thinking.

When Aunt Xue heard what her daughter said, she also hesitated. After a moment of hesitation, she went back to the couch and sat down, watching her daughter worry.

After a long time, she sighed and said helplessly, "So what if you don't believe in your aunt? Who can really protect our mother and daughter?

But it's all about safety and future bought with money, your aunt is just lying to me, if it were someone else, I'm afraid she would directly kill her and steal her money. "

How can a person who can keep a pair of children after the death of her husband be that stupid? The reason why she pretended to be stupid to please her sister was just a helpless act.

The water in the capital city is deep, and if they don't find a backer to rely on, just like them like children holding gold bricks, there will be no bones left that have to be eaten by others.

Their Xue family also has a yard in the capital, why didn't she live there, and chose to live in Jia's family under the fence, isn't it all to protect the remaining family property and their brothers and sisters!
What's more, her son beat someone to death, and her elder brother Wang Ziteng was not in Beijing, so she had no other choice but to ask her sister for help.

There is also the daughter Baochai, who is also good-looking, if her father hadn't gone, the family's backer would have disappeared, not to mention entering the palace as a palace maid, even if she was sent to the palace as a concubine.

She also knew that it would be embarrassing for Baochai to curry favor with Baoyu, but if she thought about it carefully, if Baochai's entry into the palace really didn't work out, then Baoyu would really be a good match. It is very difficult to find a good marriage that can protect her and her brother.

But when the eldest daughter of the Lin family came to Beijing, it reminded her that it was the Lin family that the Jia family really wanted to marry, not their Xue family.

The second is to calculate the family property. Since they can calculate the Lin family, they can naturally calculate their family. This is also the reason for her sudden anxiety. She wants to finish this matter as soon as possible, so that they have no chance to go back on their word and harm their family. It's a pity that my daughter is unwilling, and she can't help it.

Xue Baochai was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then said with a serious face: "Mom, why don't you think about what I mentioned that day. If the matter is really done, we may not be able to keep our family's imperial business, and my brother has other ways out. must.

I have already asked my brother to inquire about it. Although this matter is a bit difficult, it is not impossible. As long as the people we choose are reliable, this matter will be very promising. "

When the two siblings discussed this matter, Aunt Xue was also present, and she had heard a lot of the news, so she naturally knew that what her daughter said was true, but she was a little worried.

She thought about it, and asked with some concern: "Can what you said really happen?"

After hearing this, Xue Baochai said, "Since you have to choose a road, why not choose a road with a clearly marked price, but choose the road that is not guaranteed by my aunt's bottomless pit!"

Aunt Xue also felt reasonable when she heard what she said, and after hesitating for a while, she agreed to her: "Forget it, since you and your brother have already made up your mind, let's do as you said!

It's just that your aunt can't break the skin for the time being, we have to continue to deal with them like this, otherwise if she finds out about this and secretly sends someone to trip us up, our work will be in vain. "

Seeing that she agreed, Xue Baochai immediately hugged her arm and said coquettishly: "Don't worry, Mom, before the matter is settled, I will definitely not give face to their mother and son, after all, we still need to rely on their Jia family to protect us for the time being. "

When Xue Pan came back with the food he bought, he saw this picture of mother and daughter getting along warmly. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Mom, sister, I'm back. See what good things I brought you?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the two to answer, he put the things on the table, and while taking them out, he introduced them to them: "This is a table noodle from a time-honored restaurant in Beijing. I have waited for a long time to buy it. You guys Come and taste it if you like it, if you like it, I will buy it for you later."

Seeing this, the mother and daughter smiled at each other, got up together and came to the table, asking him about his going out today, while tasting the delicious food he bought.

Although Xue Pan is a dandy, he is really kind to his mother and sister, and he only talks about interesting things when he talks about things, and he doesn't mention the things that don't go well, making Aunt Xue, mother and daughter laugh Again and again.

The family of three happily finished their meal, and after listening to Xue Pan talk about the investigation situation, after discussing the next arrangements based on these situations, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Perhaps the lesson given by Jiusi took effect, and for a period of time after that, Jia Baoyu never came to the Daylily Hall to disturb the sisters, and the two sisters also returned to a peaceful and leisurely life.

Jiusi still keeps her filial piety behind closed doors, and Daiyu, apart from going to greet Jiamu every day, also visits Yingchun and the others from time to time to play, and spends most of her time learning various rules and knowledge .

In order not to let Daiyu feel that this kind of life is boring, Jiusi also selected wood by herself and made many building blocks for her to play with. As long as she is patient enough, she can have many different courtyard models.

Time passed day by day, and the weather began to gradually get colder. Everyone began to take off their thin clothes and put on warmer thick clothes.

When the weather was warm, there was no difference, but as soon as the weather turned cold, Daiyu began to get sick from time to time, although they were minor ailments, but they were very tormenting, and the bitter medicine soup was even bowl after bowl. drink.

Seeing her frowning and unhappy face every day, Jiusi thought of ways to make her happy. Before, she cooked from time to time, but now she has been cooking from morning to night, just to let her eat more food. .

　Two more...
