Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Chapter 41
Xue Baobao said and shook Mrs. Xue's arm pitifully, "Mom, just counting. The glory and wealth that may not be available can be compared to the current peace and well-being, without being humiliated by others?"

Although Mrs. Xue still didn't speak, she was obviously hurt by Wang Ziteng's letter, and was persuaded by Xue Baobao. The next day, she asked Mr. and Mrs. Xue Chen to go to the Xue family's house in person to see what else needed to be added, and immediately Fill.

I went to say hello to Jia Mu again, and the wind revealed that the house had been repaired and would move in soon.

Mother Jia didn't think too much about it, relatives, no matter how close they are, they can't live there all the time. The Xue family has lived in Rongguo Mansion for several months, so it's time to leave.

After all, she didn't expect that Mrs. Xue was planning to stay in Rongguo Mansion.

Moreover, Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong are getting very close recently, and even Lin Daiyu doesn't visit them much, let alone Xue Baobao, so Jia's mother doesn't care whether they move or not.

Mrs. Xue went to tell Mrs. Wang again that although Mrs. Wang didn't like Xue Baobao, she still had some feelings for her sister. She was very reluctant to let her go and kept trying to keep her.

She is not like Mrs. Xue who can take charge of the family. Once Mrs. Xue moves back, it will be difficult for her to see her.

Mrs. Xue has made up her mind, and Mrs. Wang naturally can't be too reluctant.

So, Mrs. Xue picked an auspicious day and brought Xue Pan and his sisters to live in Xue's house.

As soon as Xue Baobao moved out of Rongguo Mansion, it was like a bird leaving a cage. Regardless of Mrs. Xue's advice to take her time, she took care of the things in her yard that day.

Mrs. Xue's original intention was to ask her to choose a yard close to the main house, so that it would be convenient for mother and daughter to have sex in the future.

Xue Baobao insisted on choosing a yard that was a little bit further away, which was closer to the two yards dedicated to planting herbs, vegetables and fruits.

Xue Baobao ordered the yard to be paved with bluestone slabs, and only one cherry plant was planted in front of the house, a few clumps of plantains were planted in the back of the house, and two vats of water lilies at the door were enough.

Since there were no complicated flowers, plants or landscaping, and the yard was not big, it was easy to take care of. Xue Baobao did not ask for many people to serve him, and only brought four maids with him.

As a modern person, her self-care ability is naturally impossible to be the same as that of the authentic ladies in ancient times, and she doesn't like to be served by others, so Ying'er is responsible for personal service and follow-up, and the other maids are responsible for taking care of and cleaning the house. Do chores.

Well, in ancient times, every lady had to have a dedicated maid to manage her clothes, jewelry, etc. She knew how to settle accounts and manage money, and even this was omitted.

Xue Baobao arranged his own yard and assigned two menial women to manage the herbs, fruits and vegetables, mainly doing chores and menial work. She was prepared to do most of it herself.

The next morning, Xue Baobao got up on time, but instead of lying on the bed reading a book, or going to the kitchen, he did a set of Tai Chi first, then a set of Wuxingquan, and a set of Sanduanjin.

This body is so weak that she can't even wield a kitchen knife. There were so many people in Jinling before, she didn't dare to do anything recklessly.

After entering the capital, the family crowded into the small Lixiang Courtyard. She coughed louder, and Mrs. Xue could hear it, and she couldn't follow her own wishes.

Now that he moved here, Xue Baobao used various excuses to dismiss the people around him, and finally dared to start exercising.

Really thinking about it is a bitter tear!

After Xue Baobao finished the boxing, he went to the yard next door to look at his garden full of precious herbs, fruits and vegetables, and watered and tended it himself.

After such a toss, she was already sweating, and she went back to take a shower, just in time for breakfast.

Because Mrs. Xue was tired yesterday, she ordered everyone to eat in their respective yards today.

Xue Baobao looked at the food box sent from the big kitchen and searched for it. Well, now that the schedule has finally been adjusted from Xue Baochai to Xue Baochai's channel, it is time to consider setting up a small kitchen.

Xue Baobao was thinking about the small kitchen, and the little maid said with a smile, "Girl, uncle, several colleagues, and Shangfeng all sent gifts. Madam likes it so much, let the girl go and see the details together." What's the gift.

Let's choose a day to serve wine, invite the uncle's colleagues and the men of Jia's family, and then invite the ladies and ladies of Jia's family to have fun."

When they moved, all the masters of the Rongguo Mansion gave them gifts, and the decent maid also took the money, so she deserved a treat.

Xue Baobao then followed the maid to Mrs. Who gave it to me? The joy was beyond words.

In her words, things are not worth anything, the key is the friendship, even Xue Pan has friends in serious official circles.

Seeing that she was happy, Xue Baobao naturally cheered and said with a smile, "Mom is happy now? There will be more happy moms in the future!"

The contacts in the officialdom are not just a matter of one or two moments, it is better to set up a booklet to record these contacts in a serious way, and we know what degree we should take in the future."

Mrs. Xue nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, my son is more knowledgeable."

She didn't want the maid to help her if she was happy, so she and Baobao Xue registered and compiled the book, she read it, and Baobao Xue wrote it.

The presenters were basically Xue Pan’s colleagues at the peak, and the gifts were not heavy. Most of them were flower and tree ornaments that could be used to decorate the new house, as well as pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and snacks.

After a while, Mrs. Xue actually read the names of He Yan and Yu Xin. Xue Baobao frowned, "Why does my brother have contact with them?"

In fact, it is reasonable to say that they met in Yangzhou, and there is such a relationship. He Yan and Yu Xin can be regarded as Xue Pan's introductions to the officialdom.

But this is normal only for He Yan. With Yu Xin's temperament and in such a position, can he be like the person who is dating Xue Pan?

Xue Baobao felt even more uneasy when he remembered the last time he saw Yu Xin in Wuwen Pavilion, but he didn't want to worry Mrs.

Mrs.

Xue Baobao agreed, and then Mrs. Xue let out a sigh, "It seems that Mr. Yu didn't give the gift alone, but also had a colleague. What was written on the gift list was: Yu Xin and his friend Xue Zhijian——"

As soon as she read this, Xue Baobao, who was sitting quietly, suddenly stood up and grabbed the gift list. The three words "Xue Zhijian" that had just been spit out from Mrs. Xue's mouth came into view clearly——

Xue Zhijian, Xue Zhijian!

It's brother!
It's brother!
Xue Baobao's eyes were suddenly blurred, it was the elder brother, it was the elder brother who found her!
She knew that she must have shown her whereabouts when she was excited, and she was even more afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions, so she ran out holding the gift slip.

After running back to her yard and chasing the maid away, she dared to take out the gift list and continue reading. The three words "Xue Zhijian" came into view clearly again. She looked back and forth greedily, sobbing.

After a long while, she managed to control her emotions and continued to read: Yu Xin and his friend Xue Zhijian presented a red peony root, orange red peony root, skullcap root, green orange tangerine shell, green foot lotus, and purple zhizhi plant each to express the joy of moving to your mansion."

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple - one plant each - alive -

It's brother!
Really brother!
In her last life, her rebellious period coincided with the rise of the funeral family, and she often dyed her hair in various colors.

That year, on her birthday, her brother gave her a set of rainbow-colored live Chinese herbal medicine plants, mocking her hair color.

Then, on his birthday, she gave him a set of currency from the seven countries, mocking him for his love of money.

Later, the little joke was kept by the siblings as a sort of birthday sideshow.

Who else could it be Xue Zhijian who sent me rainbow-colored live plants of Chinese medicinal materials?

It will only be her biological brother, Xue Zhijian!

That day, Yu Xin asked her what she liked besides medicine, because she knew that her brother was looking for her, and because she wanted to help her brother find her!

The huge joy, excitement, and disbelief made Xue Baobao's whole body tremble uncontrollably, and her tears poured out uncontrollably. She wanted to find Yu Xin, and asked Yu Xin to take her to find her brother!
Going right now!

"Girl, the wife is here."

Yinger's voice sounded outside, Xue Baobao was startled, and his reason returned instantly.

She is now Xue Baochai of the Xue family in the world of Red Mansions, not Xue Baobao in the 21st century. Her every word and deed is watched by countless people, and she can't even leave the second door of the Xue family easily!

“Girl, I’m opening the door——”

Xue Baobao was anxious and wise, and hurriedly shouted, "Don't come in, tell my wife, I am writing a letter to Uncle Lin, and go talk to Mrs. Xun after I finish writing."

Mrs. Xue was standing outside her room, and after hearing what she said, she hurriedly asked, "Darling, is it that Mr. Yu and Mr. Xue are not getting along?"

How could Xue Baobao make up such a perfect excuse for a while, and he just said perfunctorily, "Mom, you go back first, I don't know very well, I have to write a letter to ask Uncle Lin, and when I finish writing, I will go talk to you" .

Although Mrs. Xue was worried, she also knew about such a thing. She couldn't match her daughter's insight, so she had to go back.

After this encounter, Xue Baobao calmed down, first twisted a towel to cover his eyes, carefully recalled the scene of meeting Yu Xin in Wuwen Pavilion that day, and became more and more sure that Yu Xin was looking for she.

After all, in the world of Red Mansions, there are many ladies who like poetry and female celebrities, but few like medicine and cooking.

Due to her status, her brother didn't know how many ways he had thought of and how many opportunities he had waited for before he found the opportunity for the Xue family to move and gave him such a gift!
She only hates that her guard is used in a place that shouldn't be used, otherwise she would have reunited with her brother long ago!

Xue Baobao figured it out, and first made a list of gifts in return. Of course, he couldn't find any currencies from the seven countries now, but it is not difficult to list seven different ancient coins plus gold, silver and ingots.

After making a list of return gifts, Xue Baobao continued to write letters to Lin Ruhai. After all, he still wanted to make a complete list.

Naturally, she couldn't write anything about Yu Xin and Xue Zhijian. She only said hello to Lin Ruhai, and talked about Lin Daiyu's situation at Jia's house. She also said that she would send a few jars of medicinal wine with the letter, asking him to take it on time and pay attention to his health.

When the redness and swelling in his eyes subsided, Xue Baobao ordered Yu Xin's gift to be delivered to his yard. He looked back and forth for a long time, then took the letter and told Xue Chen to go and do it. He went to Mrs. Xue's place and gave an ambiguous excuse. Soothe her and not mention it.
