Chapter 72 72. The Xue Family Enters Beijing
Tanchun's rhetoric can also coax Jia Baoyu, an idiot. The atmosphere in this dynasty is relatively relaxed. Whether it is hiring concubines or choosing companions for princes and princesses, most of them are voluntary. If you don't want to, don't sign up. It's fine, no one will care about this, and since there is a word "select", it means that even if you go, you may not be selected, it should be an honor to be selected.

Originally, Tanchun wanted to discuss with the sisters how to express themselves, show their strengths, and strive to be elected, so as to add luster to the family, but Yingchun and Xichun were not very enthusiastic, and Jia Baoyu was even more disappointing, making her choked up. In the belly, it is uncomfortable to say or not.

Lin Daiyu couldn't see Jia Baoyu's dejected look, and said to him, "It's because you claim to love sisters, so you just talk about it, and you only think about yourself..."

Jia Baoyu became anxious all of a sudden, and argued: "I'm not! My sister made me up again, but if I lie a little bit, I'll make my tongue rot..."

Seeing that he was sweating in anxiety, Lin Daiyu gave a "puchi" smile and said, "Look at you, you are so anxious just because someone told a joke."

Jia Baoyu was angry and helpless, and gave her an angry look. Lin Daiyu said, "You are a man, and you can go out whenever you want. We can only stay at home all year. Now I finally have a chance to go out and see the world. You don't say you are happy for the sisters, but you want to stop me, I said you only think about yourself, can't you be wronged?"

Jia Baoyu couldn't speak, he didn't think so much, he just hoped that the sisters could stay together forever, and he was reluctant to be separated from everyone, but he didn't think about whether the sisters were willing to do this. Thinking about it this way, Lin Daiyu seemed to be right about him, Is he really that bad?Jia Baoyu doubted himself for a while, only felt that he was very bad, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he was, tears fell down.

Everyone was stunned, and hurriedly coaxed him to persuade him. Jia Baoyu was immersed in his own world, ignoring everyone's comfort. Weeping: "I just said a few jokes, and you will show your face to others. I am afraid that there will be no trouble. I know that I am annoying. You don't need to think of ways to drive people away, I will leave now!"

When Jia Baoyu heard that Lin Daiyu was going to leave, he couldn't care about anything else, he hurriedly stepped forward to hold her back, and after apologizing and being soft-spoken, he coaxed Daiyu back, and then everyone sat down to talk again.

Seeing that Sanchun didn't make a fuss, she was relieved in her heart. Lin Moyu didn't say much all the time. Looking at the present with a cold eye, she just felt very awkward, and couldn't tell what was wrong. I want to report to my mother.

Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu had another small quarrel. The news did not reach dinner, and Jia Mu already knew about it. She asked a few questions and said lightly: "My little man, if you get better at a time and get annoyed at another time, don't bother with them. Let them go." They make trouble on their own!"

Mrs. Wang also heard about this, she was silent for a while, and asked Zhou Rui's housemate next to her, "Last time my aunt wrote, saying that their family is going to Beijing with their whole family. It's been two months, why haven't they arrived yet?"

Zhou Rui's family didn't know why, they could only see that Mrs. Wang was not in a good mood, so they carefully replied: "My aunt's family has a big business, and it is not easy to move. It will take time to clean up the family business, and it will take a while. Maybe it's not easy to move..."

Xue Sheng wanted to move his family to the capital for development, and Jinling City's properties had to be handed over. Don't try to cut them out in three to five months. Anyway, he was not in a hurry. He just dealt with them one by one slowly. He got the news that there was going to be a selection in the palace, and his family Baochai was all top-notch, so it would be a pity not to participate in the election, so Aunt Xue was asked to take Xue Pan and Xue Baochai first, and he would leave later.

When Mrs. Wang was talking about Aunt Xue, the group of them was about to arrive. This time, because Xue Sheng was still there, he would come to join them in a while. Beijing cleans and repairs the houses. After Aunt Xue and others come to Beijing, they can directly live in their own home.

Rest overnight, and the next day, Aunt Xue went to the home of her elder brother, Prince Teng, to return to Ning. One day, Aunt Xue politely expressed that she wanted to keep them to stay, but everyone didn't take it seriously, and after some courtesy to each other, Aunt Xue went home to rest.

It was another night of silence, and on the next day, after breakfast, the Xue family brought gifts to Rongguo Mansion to visit. Mrs. Wang got the news early and led a group of people to welcome them. The two sisters hadn't seen each other for several years. It was really holding hands and crying. Looking forward, there are countless divorcees to complain about, but they all bear it back. Everyone met each other and gathered in the flower hall to reminisce about the old days.

The elders had their own topics, and the younger generations couldn't get in the way. Xue Pan was entertained by Jia Lian and others on the male guest's side. During the banquet, drinking and bragging was very lively, while Xue Baochai, together with Sanchun and Daiyu, talked in a gentle manner Words, try to get in touch with understanding.

When Aunt Xue left, Mother Jia wanted to stay with her. Aunt Xue said with a smile: "We will live in the capital from now on, and the house is only two streets away from the house. It will be very convenient to travel in the future. When we first entered Beijing, our family It hasn't been put in place yet, after a few days it will be cleaned up, and please invite the old lady to come to my house, and then you must do me a favor."

Mother Jia smiled and said yes, everyone knew that Xue Sheng would arrive in a few days, and it was impossible to live in someone else's house, but the relatives hadn't seen each other for many years, so it would be unreasonable not to keep him for a while, this etiquette must be done properly.

Aunt Xue and Mother Jia were still polite, Mrs. Wang took advantage of the gap between the two of them, and interrupted, "If you want to go back, just take Pan'er back, but Baochai wants to stay. I like this child at first glance. We must stay for a few days, our mother and I are very affectionate."

Mother Jia paused, and followed to persuade her to stay with a smile on her face: "That's right, Bao girl stays here, and we also have a few girls in our family. You can live together for a few days, and you will be alone when you go back..."

Aunt Xue couldn't refuse, and she didn't think there was a need to refuse, so she agreed, and she only took Xue Pan back home. When she got home, she sent her maid to give Baochai a dowry and a change of clothes, so that she could feel at ease. Stay here, don't miss home.

When Mrs. Wang asked to keep Xue Baochai, it was natural that she had already made preparations. She asked people to tidy up the three rooms and arranged for the maids.

What's even better is that Xue Baochai's wing room is very close to Jia Baoyu's residence. When he comes out of the room, he walks two steps around the screen wall, which is Jia Baoyu's courtyard. Daiyu or Sanchun had to pass by these rooms. Therefore, Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai could be said to look down and see each other, which greatly increased the time spent together.
