Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 232 Xue Baoqin

Not to mention that everything went smoothly for Jia Rui in his official career, and his power in the court gradually stabilized. Besides, several relatives came to the capital from Jiangnan on this day.

It turns out that Mrs. Xing's brother and sister-in-law brought their daughter Xiuyan to Beijing to join Mrs. Xing. However, Sister Qiaofeng's brother Wang Ren was also coming to Beijing, and gangsters came to the two parents' homes.

When the boat was moored halfway, he met Li Wanzhi's widowed aunt, who was also going to Beijing with her two daughters, Li Wen and Li Qi.As we all told, we were all relatives, so the three families walked together.

Later, Xue Panzhi's younger brother Xue Bian also brought his sister Xue Baoqin to the capital to join Xue Baochai. When he heard that Wang Ren had come to the capital, he also came with his sister.So we all got together and came to visit each of our relatives.

Everyone sailed to Tongzhou and disembarked individually.

Arriving at the pier, Xue Pan first saw the boy sent by Xue Pan.

When he was in Jinling, this boy followed Xue Pan, so Xue Pan knew this person.

The boy quickly walked up to Xue Biao, then knelt down on one knee and said, "I have met the second master."

"Get up."

The young man stood up and said respectfully: "Our eldest son knows that the second master is coming to Beijing in the past two days, so he specially sent me to greet him."

Xue Biao nodded, and then asked: "Brother-in-law, does he know we are coming?"

He was asking: Does Jia Rui also know that they have entered Beijing.

You must know that Jia Rui is not ordinary now. As a relative of Jia Rui's family, Xue Biao also received preferential treatment when he was in Jinling because of Jia Rui's reputation.

Just relying on Jia Rui's reputation made their life in Jinling much better than before.

Although Jia Rui didn't know about it, Xue Biao was still grateful, so he thought of going to see Jia Rui first as a reward.

"Go back to the Second Master, our eldest lady has already prepared the courtyard for you and the Second Young Lady at Dingxihou Mansion. She is just waiting for you to go."

This reply was a little out of tune. Xue Biao asked Jia Rui, but the boy asked Xue Baochai. How is it?
However, Xue Biao is also a smart man. As soon as he heard this, he knew that Xue Baochai had arranged their coming to the capital, and Jia Rui might not know about it yet.

In fact, when Xue Baochai wrote a letter last time, Xue Biao vaguely felt what Xue Baochai meant.

In particular, not long after Xue Baochai's letter came, his sister's husband's family, the Mei Hanlin family, came in a hurry to cancel the engagement.

This further confirmed Xue Biao's own conjecture.

Xue Biao still had a good impression of Jia Rui, but thinking that his little sister was going to be a concubine, he was a little reluctant.

But when I think about the loneliness of my family, and then think about my sister's lifelong marriage to Jia Rui, with Xue Baochai's help, it can be considered a good outcome.

If his sister had a child in the future, it would be impossible for Jia Rui to watch their mother and son suffer.

It was this idea of ​​self-hypnosis that made Xue Ban feel better. After that, he accepted Xue Baochai's gift with peace of mind, and then bought a boat and headed north.

At this time, Wang Ren sent someone to look for Xue Biao and said that everyone's carriages and horses were ready. Do you want to go together?

Xue Biao quickly asked the boy who was following him, "Have you prepared any carriages and horses?"

The boy nodded repeatedly, "The uncle has already prepared it. I'm just waiting for you, the second uncle, to come!"

With that said, he led Xue Biao and others to several large carriages.

Xue Pan was shocked when he saw these carriages. Such a pomp was even bigger than when Xue Pan was in Jinling.

Looking at the young man standing next to him, he seemed to be indifferent to this, and he knew in his heart that this young man was used to this scene.

I started to sigh in my heart!It's really good for me to be a brother-in-law.

After that, he asked two women to help his sister get into a carriage, and he followed closely and got into a car behind. Then the group of people joined Wang Ren and his team in the motorcade and left Tongzhou and headed straight for the capital.

On this day, after seeing off Jia Rui, Xue Baochai was about to go back to the house to play with her precious son for a while, when her personal maid Ying'er hurried over.

"Grandma, Second Master Xue Biao is here. He has already arrived at the entrance of Ningrong Street."

After hearing this, Xue Baochai showed a hint of complexity on her face. She was now looking forward to Xue Biao and the others coming, and she was also hoping that Xue Biao and the others would leave for a while longer.

But soon Xue Baochai said calmly: "Has the yard in front been tidied up?"

"Grandma, I went to see it in person. The inside and outside of the house have been tidied up, and the decorations have been made according to your wishes."

Xue Baochai nodded, and then said: "I won't go out to meet them. You go out and bring Xue Biao in for me, let Xue Biao live in the yard outside, and then bring Baoqin to the inner house to live with me. "

Ying'er nodded, then bowed and left.

After she came outside, she immediately took three or four little maids and two or three stout women, and walked out of the second door to the side door of Dingxihou Mansion.

She didn't have to wait long, and soon several luxurious carriages appeared.

Ying'er quickly trotted forward and stopped the first carriage.

"Is this Mr. Xue Biao coming?"

Then Xue Biao's head poked out from inside and said with a smile: "Who do I think you are? It turns out to be Ying'er, you little girl."

Ying'er felt a little unhappy after hearing these teasing words, and now her temper has grown.

You must know that she is Xue Baochai's personal maid, and she is also one of Jia Rui's secret wives.She feels that her identity is different from ordinary people. Now that Xue Biao is talking like this, she feels ashamed.

Fortunately, although Ying'er was a little unhappy in her heart, she still had a smile on her face.

She stepped forward and gave Xue Biao a blessing, then said with a smile: "Our grandma asked me to wait here for the second master for a long time."

Xue Zhu jumped down from the carriage with a smile, and then ordered the maid to help his sister down as well.

When Ying'er saw Xue Baoqin getting off the carriage, she hurried over to help him personally.

Then Xue Baoqin and a group of people entered the Dingxihou Mansion through the side door.

After arriving here, Ying'er first arranged Xue Biao in the small yard that had been prepared for him.

After that, he took Xue Baoqin through the second gate and went straight to Xue Baochai's yard.

After arriving in the yard, I found Xue Baochai already waiting in the yard.

Xue Baochai saw Ying'er walking over from a distance, supporting a delicate and beautiful girl.

I only saw this girl, I saw her: her hair was gently rolled up, and her graceful song was still young.The jade fingers move slenderly and the steps are light.Cherry opened her mouth to smile, her voice clear and heartfelt.The clouds on the temples are like ink dye, and the snow-skinned flowers are reflected.The red lips are dotted with vermilion, and the dark eyebrows are like a painting.Bright eyes are like stars, reflecting the heart of the people with clarity.

Seeing Xue Baoqin like this, Xue Baochai couldn't help but sigh. This sister is indeed as beautiful as she is, and she is no different from herself.

"Sister, you're finally here. I've been a little anxious waiting this whole time."

While talking, Xue Baochai stepped forward and took Xue Baoqin's hand in person, smiled and touched her face.

Xue Baoqin was a little shy when she saw this sister she hadn't seen for many years.

"Sister, you are well during this period."

"Everything is fine. It's just that my furry monkey is really disturbing and makes me unable to sleep during this period."

As he spoke, Xue Baochai took Xue Baoqin's hand and entered the back room.

After entering the house, there were no outsiders, and the two sisters began to talk about the past. The two became more and more congenial, and soon the room was full of laughter.

While they were talking, Brother Ying came in from outside.

"Grandma, the old lady of Rongguo Mansion sent someone here, saying that she would like to invite grandma and the new girl to have a drink with her at the mansion."

Xue Baochai also learned from Xue Baoqin just now that it was not only their family who came back this time, but also the three families who entered the capital together. They should all have gone to Rongguo Mansion now, so this lively old lady invited herself over to think about it together. Be lively and lively.

Xue Baochai is now able to cope with this kind of interaction.

"Tell the person who is coming that my sister and I will pack up and go over."

After saying this, Xue Baochai turned around, took Xue Baoqin's hand and said, "I can get to know a few sisters this time when I go to Rongguo Mansion. It's good to be close to them."

After saying this, before Xue Baoqin could reply, she changed her tone and said, "But you have to remember that there is a demon king named Jia Baoyu in Rongguo Mansion. You should stay away from him."

Xue Baochai was planning to give Xue Baoqin to her husband Jia Rui, but she didn't want anything to go wrong in the middle.

Although Xue Baoqin didn't understand what Xue Baochai meant, she still nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Xue Baochai took Xue Baoqin to the back, personally packed a new dress for her, asked her to dress neatly, and then followed him to the carriage and came to Rongguo Mansion.

Afterwards, under the guidance of the maid, they entered Jia Mu's Rongqing Hall.

As soon as he entered the house, he heard Jia Mu laughing and talking: "Your niece doesn't have to go home. She can stay in the garden for a few days and take a walk before going back."

It turned out that this was Jia Mu talking to Mrs. Xing.

Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin went forward to salute Jia Mu.

Sitting on the imperial concubine's couch, Jia Mu's eyes lit up when she looked at the lovely Xue Baoqin.

The only person who can compare with Xue Baoqin in this family is Lin Daiyu who is sitting next to her.

However, looking at Xue Baoqin's rosy face, it is obvious that her body is much better than Lin Daiyu's.

"Come here and let me see."

Xue Baoqin was still hesitant, but Xue Baochai smiled and pushed her. Then Xue Baoqin took a small step forward and came to Jia Mu's side, saying Wan Fu again.

Jia Mu pulled her to her side, sat on her other side, took Xue Baoqin's hand and said, "Good boy, you will live happily after you come here. You can play with the girls in our house when you have time."

Xue Baoqin looked at Mother Jia with a kind face, and felt warm in her heart. She nodded gently.

Then Jia Mu announced that the meal would be served, and then several tables were set up in the hall, and everyone took their seats.

After a while, countless delicacies were placed on the table.

Xue Baoqin, Xing Xiuyan, Li Wei, Li Qi and others who saw this scene for the first time were all stunned.

You must know that among these people, only the Xue Baoqin family is still making do. After the others have made meritorious deeds on the surface, they have already fallen into decline.
