Red Mansion Beijingwang

When Baochai heard the words, Fengze's jade face was slightly startled, her apricot eyebrows condensed like green feathers, she sighed softly, and there was a bit of sadness in her gentle voice, and she said leisurely: "Mom told me once or twice." I think I will take my brother back to Jinling after I join the ministry next year to settle old debts."

When Shui Rong heard this, he understood clearly that the Xue family came to Beijing under the guise of being selected for Baochai, visiting relatives, settling old accounts and planning new ones, and euphemistically visiting the scenery of the country.

Times have changed, and it has been nearly a year since the Xue family went to Beijing. Baochai was not selected. They have visited all the relatives and friends that should be visited, and have almost visited the sights. As for settling old accounts with the Ministry of Finance, needless to say, this has already been done. Waiting for the second year.

Not to mention the real reason, in short, now that the Xue family's pretense of staying in Beijing is gone, they may not be able to stay with Jia's family any longer. Even if they are visiting relatives and friends, they won't be able to last long.

As for why the Xue family stayed in the Rongguo Palace in the original work, it was not because of the "good match", but now that Baochai has entered the palace to accompany him, and everyone is lying in his arms, there is no excuse. Staying in Jia's house for a long time is not a sign of disdain.

If he hadn't had the reason to join the Ministry next year to settle old scores, he would have been ready to go back to Jinling.

After a moment of silence, Shui Rong suddenly asked: "Sister Bao, aunt has never thought of settling in the capital?"

When Aunt Xue becomes an aunt, the degree of intimacy will be different.

When Baochai heard this, she raised her pear-like face and stared at the young man's delicate face. There was a hint of doubt between her brows. Although she had entered the palace, she was not a serious person. Brother-in-law Asked what the Xue family planned to do, maybe there was some arrangement.

Thinking of this, Baochai asked softly with some hope in her heart: "Brother-in-law, why do you ask these questions?"

The water-soluble fingertips twisted a strand of green silk scattered on the girl's jade shoulder, his eyes fell on the girl's bright and charming jade face, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law is thinking about aunts and their orphans and widowed mothers. If they return to Aurous Hill, they will easily attract people's attention. I simply stay in the capital, firstly, to have someone to take care of her, and secondly, to save my sister Jiabao from missing her mother so much that she becomes thinner and thinner. My brother-in-law will feel distressed if he sees her."

The Xue family is helpless. If there is no strong backer, the family fortune may be taken away. Moreover, in recent years, the Xue family has gone downhill and needs external help.

In the original work, the Xue family stayed at the Jia family and refused to leave. You think it was because they were idle and in pain, or because they wanted to use the power of the Jia family to maintain the Xue family's dignity.

It's good that Baochai is from the palace now, but the Xue family is her natal family after all. How can she not care about it? As Baochai's man, Shui Xiong still has to help him a little bit. You can't just eat and drink after someone gives it to you. Wipe it clean and refuse to admit it.

If Shui Rong really turns a blind eye to the Xue family, even Baochai's love will be wiped out.

It's better for Shui Rong to propose now than for Baochai to ask her for help in the future. The difference in affection between the two is enough to make Baochai's heart turn towards him.

Love is a momentary passion, and after the passion it becomes dull, just food, rice, oil and salt. Money and power are tonics for love. If you need a great tonic, you must use it.

When Baochai heard this, her charming jade face showed a look of surprise. Sure enough, as she thought, her brother-in-law planned to support the Xue family. They were orphans and widowed mothers, so they were easily missed. It can be seen that he has her in his heart.

Thinking of this, Baochai's heart couldn't help but be moved, her watery apricot eyes gradually became misty, she stared at the young man, her eyes filled with love, she pursed her pink lips, came forward and gently kissed her delicate face. After a peck, he immediately blushed and whispered: "Thank you, brother-in-law."

She understood Shui Rong's intention, and being pretentious would only bring her down. Moreover, the Xue family really needed help, which was why Aunt Xue made two preparations.

As the saying goes, "Hao Feng frequently borrowed his strength to send me to the top." Women are weak because they rely on their own men. There is nothing to grudge against. On the contrary, because Shui Rong took the initiative to mention this matter, it made the girl's heart flutter even more. .

Seeing this, Shui Rong couldn't help but smile knowingly. It was obvious that Baochai, who was dignified and observant, took the initiative to kiss her, and was very happy.

Looking at Baochai with tender cheeks, Shui Rong reached out and pinched her soft cheeks, and said with a smile: "If you and I have anything to thank you for, let's do this. Next time I have free time, my sister will discuss it with her aunt, so we can When we settle down in the house next to the palace, we will open a corner door to make it easier to come and go."

Since the Xue family wants to be taken care of, it is naturally better to be closer. Just like the Xue family lives in the Rongguo Duke's mansion, it is quite cheap to take care of it. However, the Xue family lives in the Rongguo Duke's mansion and still has a sisterly relationship with Mrs. Wang. , but it was inappropriate for the Beijing Palace, and since they were two families, it was cheaper to live separately.

We can't let the Beijing Palace support the Xue family.

When Baochai heard this, Fengze's jade cheeks froze. She understood that her brother-in-law meant to support her, but according to Baochai's assumption, the Xue family already had its own property in Beijing. With the help of the Beijing Palace, Xue It was enough for the family to settle down in Beijing, but I didn't expect that my brother-in-law would arrange a friendship between the two families, which was really unexpected.

And not only that, the brother-in-law did not let the Xue family live in the palace without having to rely on others, which was a loss of dignity, which showed that the brother-in-law was thoughtful.

This arrangement just shows the close relationship between the Xue family and the Beijing Palace, which is of great benefit to the Xue family.

Baochai's bright apricot eyes flashed, and she said softly: "Brother-in-law, there is no need to knock on the corner door. If you have time to visit, that's all."

It is beneficial to the Xue family. However, the Xue family has no close relationship with the Beijing Prince's Palace. If they fight against each other, it will probably make the Beijing Princess and the eldest sister Yuanchun have a grudge, especially the eldest sister. It is too much. Preference is not good for oneself.

Shui Rong didn't take it seriously when he heard the words and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's settled."

The reason why the Xue family has this privilege is not only because they love the house and the bird, but also because they want to put the Xue family under their noses. This orphan and widower only have two serious masters, so it is no problem for the palace.

"The wife is the guide of the husband." Baochai calmed down after seeing the water melting. Even though she was worried, she couldn't say more. Besides, this was also her brother-in-law's wish.

Baochai leaned her head in the young man's arms, looking at the undulating highlands with her bright apricot eyes, a blush on her snowy jade cheeks, her teeth gently bit her pink lips, and her hearts were filled with emotions.

She gave her a peach and repaid her with courtesy. Her brother-in-law treated her with sincerity and thoughtfulness. How could he not be rewarded? She understood that the young man had such thoughts. In this case, why should he be rigid?

Thinking of this, Baochai's gleaming apricot eyes were starry, dazzling snow white, and her red lips were lightly parted. Just when she was about to explain, who thought Shui Rong suddenly said: "It's getting late. My sister has just entered the palace. I want to come back." If you need to tidy up, my brother-in-law won’t bother you.”

Baochai:"."

Well, it was my brother-in-law who missed it, no wonder she

After some tidying up, Baochai put on a blue shirt and apricot-yellow skirt. Her jade-white bare hands were tied with a skirt sash. Her plump jade cheeks shone brightly, and there was a hint of beauty between the willow leaves and slender brows, like April peonies. , super elegant group of flowers.

At this time, Ying'er came in with a tea cup and saw that her girl's complexion was red, brighter and more charming than before, and she couldn't help but smile.

In the past, the prince and the girl interacted in private, and she was still a little worried, but now it was open and honest, and she was looking forward to something happening between the prince and the girl that was unspeakable in the playbook.

Baochai noticed Ying'er's teasing, her plump jade cheeks turned slightly red, she raised her almond-shaped eyes and glared at Ying'er as a warning, then turned a blind eye.

If they were talking to each other, this girl might tease her.

Ying'er is clever and lively, knowing that the girl is in a good mood at this moment, so she comes up to her with a tea cup and says in a charming voice: "Girl, take a sip of tea to moisten your throat. Your Majesty has ordered me to serve the girl well. Don't slack off." .”

Previously, she was afraid of disturbing the good things between the prince and the girl, so she had been waiting outside the house, waiting for the prince to come out before entering the house with the tea.

Baochai calmed down, reached out to take the tea cup, and took a sip. Wen Ning said, "Okay, it's getting late. Let's sort out the remaining things."

They were tidying up the house before, but they stopped thinking about the arrival of their brother-in-law. Now that his brother-in-law left contentedly, it was time for them to start tidying up.

Ying'er heard the words and responded, and was about to clean up. She looked at the mess on the bed, then moved to the bedside, stretched out her hand to lift up the brocade mattress, and saw that the mattress was all wet, so she couldn't help but whisper: "Girl , this is spilling the tea."

Hearing this, Baochai's heart trembled involuntarily, her white face flushed, and she responded: "Well, my brother-in-law accidentally knocked it over when he was drinking tea. Please change the mattress!"

She didn't have the shame to talk about such things, and she was right about what she said. It was just her brother-in-law who drank tea accidentally.

When Ying'er heard this, she didn't think much about it, and started to clean up her mattress, planning to replace it with a new one. As for the wet one, she could just dry it out in the sun.

Beijing Prince's Mansion, Fengyiting.

In the spacious flower hall, a bunch of women and maids were waiting around, and the bright and charming Yuan Chun was sitting on the soft floor, and below them were the You family duo, Second Sister You and Third Sister You.

The three of them chatted softly, and from time to time there was a burst of clear laughter. They seemed to be enjoying themselves.

At this time, the woman outside the house reported: "The prince is here."

Hearing these words, the originally gentle and quiet Second Sister You's heart moved. She raised her head and looked outside the house. Her bright eyes under Liu Ye's thin eyebrows flashed, and her beautiful eyes were bright and flowing. Third Sister You also raised her eyes and looked outside the house, her charming face looking much more normal.

As for Yuanchun, she had already stood up to greet her, displaying the demeanor of a mistress. After all, Shui Rong often came to "Feng Yiting", and her mood was much more peaceful, but the smile on her lips showed the beauty's joy.

After a while, Shui Rong stepped into the hall, while Yuan Chun walked a few steps quickly, came close, his nose gently twitched, and said softly: "The prince is here."

Shui Rong's eyes fell on Yuan Chun's jade-like face, he nodded, and said with a smile: "Yuan Chun, let someone prepare dinner, I'm a little hungry."

First, he had some fun with Yingluo and Xiangling, and then rubbed his ears and temples with Baochai. Although he had not exercised strenuously, he had already consumed a lot, and he was indeed a little hungry.

Hearing this, Yuan Chun had a smile on his lips, with a touch of warmth and helplessness between his brows, and said softly: "Your Majesty, let me prepare my body. You can eat some snacks first."

Shui Rong nodded without saying anything and walked towards Ruantan.

At this time, Second Sister You and Third Sister You bowed together and said softly: "I have met the prince."

Shui Rong's eyes fell on the two people in front of him. The second sister You was wearing a green dress with a beautiful face, and she looked like Xiaojiabiyu, while the third sister You was wearing a bright pink dress, which was full of flowers.

A pair of sisters with very different styles.

Nodding, Shui Rong said warmly: "Second sister and third sister are here too."

Second Sister You heard the young man calling his name affectionately, a blush appeared on her bright face, and she felt a little happy in her heart. She wanted to say a few words, but facing the young man, she felt uneasy and held the hand in her hand. Embroidered handkerchief, hanging her head in silence.

Third Sister You held a pink handkerchief, looked at the young man with her charming face, and said: "We have nothing to do when we stay in the palace, so we come here to accompany the princess to relieve her boredom."

Shui Rong sat down on the sofa, reached for the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the table and ate it, and said softly: "You are really interested, come and accompany Yuan Chun to relieve his boredom. The house has invited a group of opera troupes from Jiangnan. If so, go and listen to it with Yuanchun."

When Sanjie You heard this, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she asked softly: "Your Majesty, can we also go to the theater?"

The You sisters also temporarily stayed in the palace and let the troupe perform for them, but there was no such rule.

Shui Rong chuckled softly when he heard this, his eyes fell on Yuan Chun who was serving tea and water on one side, and said with a smile: "It depends on your ability. If you can coax the princess to go to the theater without any trouble, there will naturally be a show to watch."

Not everyone can arrange gongs and operas. At least within the palace, the only ones who are qualified are Princess Beijing, Shui Rong and Yuanchun. This is the rule.

When Yuanchun heard this, the hand holding the tea paused, and her beautiful eyes gave the young man an angry look. What does it mean to "work tirelessly"? She is not busy with the palace's affairs. What does it mean to be a "princess"? The young man is his master. , what is the honorific title, it is clear that it contains her connotation.

Obviously, not only Yuanchun heard the boy's joking, but also the You sisters. They covered their mouths and smiled sweetly, looking at each other with envy in their eyes.

How can one not envy the couple's harmonious playing of the harp and harp, especially the second sister You, whose bright eyes under the willow leaves' slender eyebrows reveal a look of longing. She does not seek to harmoniously play the harp and harp to the prince, but only asks for some charity from the prince, which is enough. .

Shui Rong took the tea and took a sip. His stomach gradually relaxed a little. He raised his eyes slightly and saw a pair of frightened eyes drooping down. There was a cowardly look between his eyebrows. He said warmly: "Second sister, what you said to Yuan Chun earlier?" What a funny thing."

When Second Sister You heard this, her heart tightened. This was the first time that the prince took the initiative to talk to her.

Holding the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, Second Sister You suppressed the throbbing of her heart and looked up at the young man with her beautiful face. Her bright eyes were wandering, and there was shyness in her weak brows. She said softly: "We sisters are watching. The princess’s makeup was very beautiful, so I asked her about her makeup, she was very knowledgeable.”

After hearing this, Shui Rong understood that it was normal for her daughter's family to talk about makeup. Besides, Second Sister You also praised his wife for her beauty, which made him feel at ease. He smiled and said softly: "Second Sister's." The makeup is also pretty good, she looks graceful and beautiful."

Hearing this, Second Sister You's white cheeks were both shy and red, her beautiful eyes under her willow-leaf eyebrows shone brightly, and her heart could not stop throbbing.

The prince praised her for her beauty, could it be that

Shui Rong saw the beauty's shy look and couldn't help but smile knowingly. Beauty's shyness is the most touching.

However, since the eldest wife was present, Shui Rong would not refuse, and things became normal. Sanjie You thought that the couple wanted to talk to each other, so she pulled the reluctant Erjie You away.

After the You sisters left, Shui Rong's eyes fell on Yuan Chun, and he stretched out his hands to take the beauty's plump body into his arms. Unexpectedly, the beauty's bare hands were in front of her, and there was a hint of questioning in her gentle voice. She asked softly: "Why does my husband have such a scent?"

Yuan Chun had discovered the fragrance of Shui Rong's body before. This unique fragrance could only be found in Bao Yatou. Without thinking too much, it must be the Bao Yatou girl who was making out with her.

She said that her husband had been coveting Bao Yatou for a long time. No, as soon as she entered the palace, she couldn't wait to get close to her. She made her smell so bad that she didn't know where to go again.

Water soluble: "."

Facing the eldest wife's inquiry, Shui Rong didn't even think about hiding anything, so he told the truth about going to "Hengwuyuan", but he didn't say anything about being intimate. What he focused on was the proposal for the Xue family to stay in Beijing. Settlement matter.

Yuanchun was slightly surprised when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he said warmly: "Since it is a matter decided by your husband, I will obey your husband."

The matter was settled, and Yuanchun had nothing to say. She was just next to the palace. Besides, Aunt Xue was also her aunt, so it was normal for relatives to help each other.

Shui Rong took a sip of tea and did not continue talking about this topic. Instead, he asked: "By the way, how much cash does our house have?"

Yuan Chun frowned when he heard this. It was not that he was dissatisfied with Shui Rong. After all, Shui Rong never asked anything about the affairs of the house since she was handed over to her. This reflected the trust between husband and wife. Now he asked Cash Bank , I guess there are some arrangements.

Pursing her pink lips, Yuan Chun's jade face looked a little strange and said truthfully: "Husband, we don't have much cash in the house."

Shui Rong was stunned when he heard this. There was no money left in the house?

At this time, Bao Qin behind him shared his worries and explained softly: "Your Majesty, this year a bathhouse was built in the palace, and a lot of people were added to the palace. The accounts cannot make ends meet, and the money that is missing is all filled in by the girl's own money."

Shui Rong felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He had left all the affairs of the back house to Yuan Chun, and he spent money lavishly, so naturally he could not make ends meet.

Good guy, it’s not even the end of the year yet, and the palace is already poor.

Thinking of this, Shui Rong took the beauty's soft hand and said warmly: "Madam, why didn't you tell your husband about this? It's my husband's fault for letting me take out all my money."

Speaking of which, all the money spent was for his own selfish desires, which is really embarrassing to think about.

Yuanchun didn't take it seriously when he heard this. There was a smile on his plump jade face and he said warmly: "My husband often says that husband and wife are one body, so why talk about you and me."

After saying that, Yuanchun asked again: "I wonder what my husband wants to do with the cash?"

Shui Rong didn't hide anything, and made everything clear about the business he was going to do with Jia Lian.

After hearing this, Yuanchun thought for a moment and said, "If it's not urgent, I can squeeze out tens of thousands of taels, or else my husband can use it first?"

Shui Rong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and his eyes fell on Yuan Chun, who had a hint of asking for instructions between his eyebrows, and felt inexplicably in his heart.

Look, even if you give him money, you have to ask carefully for instructions. Is this considered a soft meal?

After some calculations in his mind, Shui Rong shook his head and said softly: "The house cannot make ends meet, so let's not use it now. I will take care of the money matter. Madam, just rest assured."

When Yuan Chun heard the words, his jade face was slightly startled, and he looked at the young man with his shining starry eyes. There was a bit of doubt in his delicate eyebrows. When he built the bathhouse earlier, the prince had brought back 50,000 taels. Now he looked relaxed and at ease. There must be a way to make money.

Could it be that there is some kind of property outside, but if there is any property, why not make it clear to her? (End of chapter)
