King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 346 You Are Killing

"You have a plan?"

After hearing Baochai's words, Aunt Xue's jaw dropped in shock, her face full of disbelief.

"Could it be that you...you...have..." Aunt Xue looked heartbroken and hated the iron.

Seeing that his mother was thinking wrongly, Baochai quickly explained: "Mother...it's not what you think!"

"Then what do you mean by that?" Aunt Xue asked anxiously.

She was afraid that if her daughter did something wrong when she was young, the Xue family's face would be lost.

"daughter……"

"Tell me, you girl is in a hurry!"

At this point, Baochai made up her mind and finally said: "My daughter is interested in Master Thirteen!"

This matter was going to be revealed anyway, since today we talked about important matters of marriage, Baochai simply mustered up the courage to speak out.

"Ah? This...this..."

Aunt Xue was shocked and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Baby girl, the Thirteenth Master Tianhuang Guizhou, you are interested in him...I'm afraid it will be difficult to end well!"

At the beginning, Aunt Xue also had such fantasies, but she was finally awakened by reality.

"Even if you're lucky, what's the benefit of being his side concubine? Why don't you find a well-matched family and marry and be the mistress?"

Aunt Xue's thinking is in line with the thinking of most people at the moment, especially the rich and powerful families of scholar-bureaucrats, and they have no interest in marrying into the royal family.

"Mother... I'm not going to be a side concubine!" Baochai reminded calmly.

"Then what do you want to do? Princess?"

Seeing the determined look in her daughter's eyes, Aunt Xue knew that she had guessed right, that Bao girl really had such ambitions.

"Although I, the Ming Dynasty, do not rely on family background when selecting, but because your father died young... the royal family will not choose you as their daughter-in-law!" Aunt Xue pointed out the key to the problem.

"It's just a routine, so... my daughter wants to try it!"

"You're wishful thinking... You girl has always been smart, why are you so confused now?" Aunt Xue patted the table and asked, obviously in a hurry.

In her eyes, Baochai's actions were like moths rushing to the flame. Her attitude of not bumping into the south wall and not looking back made Aunt Xue extremely worried.

But she also knew that Baochai had always had her own opinion, and it was difficult to change what she had decided.

But as a mother, Aunt Xue really didn't want to see her daughter embark on this fruitless road.

"Mother... Please forgive my daughter for being frivolous, but now I know that the Thirteenth Master also has intentions for me!"

A family of daughters who dare to express their love and hate, and dare to show their loved ones love themselves, in this era not only requires great courage, but also a pattern beyond the times.

And this just shows that Baochai has already embarked on the "road of no return", and he is still walking firmly.

"You...now you are the princess' attendant, I'm afraid you can't stand for election!" Aunt Xue decided to persuade her daughter from another angle.

"Mother, no one said that the princess's attendant cannot run for the princess!"

Walking to her mother, Baochai calmly said, "As long as the Empress gives permission, this will be done!"

"It's done? It's just that I can participate in the election. If I want to choose the princess... I don't know how many problems there will be in the future!"

"That's not necessarily the case. If the Queen gives her permission, then the screening process will be smooth for me!"

Seeing that Baochai was full of confidence, Aunt Xue reminded: "Even if you choose the last step, at most you can only be a side concubine. Although it is extremely honorable, it is not as good as..."

"Mother... as I said before, the daughter will choose the princess!"

Seeing Baochai's reluctance, Aunt Xue laughed angrily, "How do you know that...you will definitely be able to choose the princess?"

Faced with this question, Baochai's intuition told her that she was likely to be selected, but she really didn't know what to say if she really wanted to come up with an argument.

After a few moments of silence in the room, I heard Aunt Xue say: "Forget it...you can choose if you want. If you choose the side concubine, it will be considered a good result. If you can't choose, then go back to the princess's side to serve as an attendant!"

From this point of view, Baochai is indeed able to advance, attack and retreat, and it is easy to run for the princess.

When the mother and daughter had nothing to say, an announcement came from outside: "Master is back!" chat.

When Xue Pan entered the inner house, he was inevitably questioned by his mother, so this guy made up nonsense and fooled him.

Baochai went back to his room, thinking about the future with worry.

Time passed quickly and it was time for dinner.

The whole family is sitting together, chatting about recent events at home, which can be described as a happy scene.

At this moment, a girl came into the dining room and came to Xue Pan and said, "My lord, Master Zhen of Ningguo Mansion sent a message that the matter is about to be completed!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Pan was immediately overjoyed, but thinking of his mother and sister being present at the moment, he suppressed his excitement again.

"Brother, what's the matter with you and Brother Zhen?"

"Uh... it's... it's a business matter, sister... eat vegetables, eat vegetables!"

Seeing him like this, Baochai knew that things were not simple and that his eldest brother must be doing bad things again.

After all, she had stayed in the Rongguo Mansion and knew what the people in the mansion thought of Jia Zhen, so it would be no good to conspire with this man.

"Big brother..."

"Hey, sister, I already said it's a business matter, so don't ask any more questions... Come, eat some food!"

The more Xue Pan concealed it like this, the more Baochai felt that there was something wrong inside, but it was not easy for her to press her now.

After dinner, the three people of the Xue family went to the living room to talk, but Baochai deliberately stayed a step behind and asked the girl in the room to ask Xue Pan about the situation.

"Remember, you must ask clearly what is the relationship between my brother and the Ningguofu man!"

Hearing Baochai's request, Ying'er replied very solemnly: "Don't worry, girl, I will definitely ask you to understand!"

"Go!"

Ying'er went to inquire about the matter, while Baochai returned to the living room. When she heard her brother introducing the business in Beijing, she looked serious, and she suspected that maybe she was thinking too much.

"Sister, tell me...should our family expand our business in the capital?"

Upon hearing his brother's inquiry, Baochai said slowly: "It's up to the eldest brother to make the decision on these matters!"

"Mother, since Baochai doesn't object, you can listen to your son. There are many rich people in this capital, and if you want to make money..."

Xue Pan eloquently talked about it, and the main point was a well-founded one, but the purpose behind it was not so simple.

While Xue Pan was rambling, Yinger, who was inquiring about the news, came back very quickly, which was really beyond Baochai's expectation.

In fact, this is also very normal, not everyone is a bandit of the White Lotus Cult, who sacrificed his life to keep the secret.

As long as there are some benefits, it is a breeze to ask the servants about the situation.

Ying'er entered the living room, bowed to the masters first, and then walked to Baochai's side with lotus steps.

Ying'er is also a smart person, she didn't speak immediately after she was in place, but when Xue Pan continued to tell, she bent down and listened to Baochai.

After Ying'er finished talking about the situation, Baochai's face became uneasy, and finally she looked at Xue Pan angrily.

"Baochai, what's the matter?" Aunt Xue noticed something unusual about her daughter.

Baochai's eyes were cold and he said slowly: "Mom, you should ask your elder brother what good things he has done in the past two days!"

"Pan'er, what's wrong with you?"

Under such circumstances, Aunt Xue believed in Baochai, after all, she knew exactly who her son was.

"Mom, I didn't mess with anything..."

Before Xue Pan finished speaking, Baochai said angrily, "What about the Qin family?"

"I……"

Xue Pan had only said a word when Baochai jumped up against the table and scolded, "Brother, you are trying to die!"
