Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 269 Relative Relationship
Daiyu had time to relax that day. When she heard that Sister Bao, her uncle, brother, and sister had arrived at noon, she couldn't bear Xueyan's begging, so she had to dress up and go to Jia's mother's room to wait at noon.

At that time, Sanchun, Baochai, and Xiangyun gathered together. Sanchun chattered about the new sister. Sister Bao was as calm as usual, and she could not see the slightest bit of embarrassment from last night.

Two quarters after noon, the woman in front came to report happily: "Old lady, Brother Tadou and Miss Qin are here. Second Grandma is going to greet them right now."

Wang Xifeng is still the wife of the housekeeper, so she has to go through the reception and delivery. Tanchun and Xichun were so happy that they laughed together, and even the quiet Yingchun also laughed non-stop.

Jia Mu laughed cheerfully and said, "Let's all go and see how the new sister is doing."

Everyone responded and came out of Jia Mu's courtyard with a smile. They turned around the hanging flower gate and passed through the hall. From a distance, they saw Wang Xifeng picking up a girl and coming in from the Yimen gate.

Daiyu looked over from a distance, and saw that the girl was slightly smaller than her, and she looked young. Her upper body was a summer cloth coat skirt with pink foundation and white flowers, and her lower body was a pomegranate skirt with white background and gold. Looking at her appearance, her eyebrows are like willow leaves in early spring, as if they are filled with rain and clouds are sad; her face is like a peach blossom in March, with its own charm and charm; her waist is slim and graceful, like a lazy oriole; her sandalwood mouth is light, and she talks and smiles sweetly; her jade face is enchanting and beautiful. The words, the graceful face and the graceful jade are fragrant.

Looking from top to bottom, it is full of romance; looking from bottom to top, it is full of charm!
Daiyu couldn't help but be surprised, she didn't expect this sister to be so charming.

Praising secretly in his heart, he turned around and was about to talk to Xiangyun beside him, when he suddenly saw Baochai next to Yingchun with a solemn expression.

Just as she was about to think about Baochai's thoughts, Xiangyun on the side pulled her and said: "Sister Lin, look, there's someone who is no worse than you!"

Since Mrs. Wang wants to recognize her as her godfather, she can just go with her wish. Is it possible that she can still prevent Jia Mu from holding the treasured piano?

Jia Mu then said, "What you said, who doesn't like Baoqin?"

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Wang pretended to be overjoyed, and hurriedly took off the jade bracelet on her wrist, pulled the Baoqin to put it on: "I was not prepared for the moment, this jade bracelet has been with me for most of my life, and now it's over It’s a meeting ceremony.”

Baoqin didn't refuse, and bowed to thank him.

Jia Mu immediately said angrily: "You are such a foreign child. Now that you have come to the house, why can't you live there?" She turned around and told Sister Feng, "Brother Feng is looking for a small courtyard in the back for Brother Tadou to stay." Then he looked at Bao Qin: "As for Girl Qin, I'm really happy to see her, so I might as well stay in my room."

Baoyu listened more and more eagerly, and couldn't help but become crazy again, secretly comparing Baoqin to the fairy-like character.

After a while, Baochai secretly took a deep breath. Thinking that Bao Qin had already arranged a marriage with Mei Hanlin's son, no matter how favored he was, it would not hinder him in the slightest, so he secretly suppressed the depression in his heart.

Wang Xifeng glanced sideways, and then she figured out what Mrs. Wang was thinking.

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in Rongqing Hall suddenly had different thoughts. Baochai felt sad at first, and then relieved; Tanchun was puzzled, but she didn't know why; Xiangyun smiled in agreement, she was straightforward and didn't think much about it; Daiyu had some suspicions, but even if she knew it, No words.

Just as the two of them said, Baoyu moved back to Qixiezhai now, but the sores on his stick had just healed and he was given a grounding order by Mrs. Wang. Because I was so anxious that I couldn't go out, I had to send the maid to scan and listen again and again.

Seeing that his temper was not coy, Jia Mu felt even more happy. Mrs. Wang accompanied the smiling face and accidentally caught a glimpse of Baochai's dark face, and she was suddenly shocked. After thinking for a moment, a plan came to his mind and he said with a smile: "To be honest, old lady, when I was young, I wanted to have a daughter like Bao Qin. Unfortunately, the eldest daughter went to the palace more than ten years after she was born. A bad thing was born..."

Jia Mu's eyes were dim, and she could only see clearly after Bao Qin saw Li. The old lady likes her brothers and sisters with good colors. When she saw the color, she was first surprised, then a smile broke out on her face, and she waved: "Good boy, come and let the old lady take a closer look."

After Xue Biao sat down and exchanged a few words, Xue Biao said: "Old lady, my mother is not in good health. My father made a marriage arrangement with the Mei family long before his death, so I am here to facilitate this marriage."

Xiangyun thought for a while, then clasped his hands and smiled: "What else can I do? I must be scratching my head and scratching my head in anxiety, but I can't move."

Jia Mu then laughed and said, "Huh? How old are you now? Besides, now that Baoyu and Daiyu are old and have their own places to live, it's hard for them to stay in my room anymore. It's not easy for me to come here." You're young, why don't you let me be careless?"

Saying this, Xue Biao glanced at Baochai and said: "I don't know how long this matter will take, because I plan to rent a house tomorrow..."

Wang Xifeng and others all agreed, and Baoqin was not restrained, as if he was used to it.

Some people who had observed the color of Baoqin came back and praised it and said it was a hibiscus; some people who had been to Rongqing Hall said that Baochai and Baoqin looked like lotus flowers when placed together; some charming people took a sneak peek and said when they came back: Miss Qin is even more brilliant than Miss Bao.

Bao Qin was smart and saw everyone's colors in his eyes, but he had other plans in his heart, so he bowed down and said with a smile: "My wife doesn't dislike it, what else can I say? My daughter pays homage to her mother."

His heart moved and he said with a smile: "Look, this girl Qin is only this old. If she were a few years older, I think... I'm afraid no one can compare with her."

Bao Qin agreed with a smile, and walked to Jia Mu generously. Jia Mu took his hand and looked up and down, nodding repeatedly while looking at her.

Mrs. Xing was younger and had the best eyesight. When she saw the color of Baoqin from a distance, she couldn't help but admire it secretly, but she had no other thoughts.

Baochai suddenly had a smile on his face, stepped forward and pulled Baoqin, looked at her and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, my sister is getting more and more tired."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Hey, it seems that the old lady is right. As a granddaughter-in-law, I have never been treated like this."

Xiangyun blinked and was immediately overjoyed: "Really? It would be great if it were like this, eh - so I can compose poems with sister Baoqin if I want, and eat barbecue if I want. Wouldn't it be nice?"

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "I just made a joke, and the old lady came at me with a load of words. I don't dare to say anything in the future. Okay, you have to be jealous, even if you are jealous enough."

Mrs. Wang then saw it clearly and was suddenly frightened. Unexpectedly, this Baoqin is even better than Baochai. I don’t know what kind of virtue the Xue family has accumulated. The first bedroom has a Baochai, and the second bedroom has an even more outstanding Baoqin!

Daiyu laughed and said: "What you said makes no sense. There are so many outstanding women in the world, and there are many who are better than me." After a pause, she joked again: "But this temperament is very embarrassing. "Shuangli, I think I will get along well with Yun Yatou."

Besides, Xue Biao was led by Jia Lian to the northwest of Rongguo Mansion after leaving Rongqing Hall. Because the Rongguo Mansion built a new ancestral hall, the four nannies' homes of Li, Zhao, and Zhang were moved to the back street, and several servants were also moved out. Therefore, there was a vacant courtyard to the west of Zhou Rui's house.

While talking, Wang Xifeng had already led Bao Qin to the front and said with a smile: "Brother Tao has gone to see the eldest man. He will come back to visit the old lady later." When he saw Baochai, who had no smile on his face, he reached out and called out. : "Baby girl, come here quickly. This is your younger sister. It's up to you to introduce her to the sisters."

After laughing for a long time, Jia Mu ordered the girls to disperse, leaving Baoqin alone in the room, and then ordered Yuanyang to place it carefully.

Yingying and Yanyan walked out together and entered the Grand View Garden. Xiangyun invited everyone to sit in Yihongyuan. Sanchun and Daiyu all showed up, but Baochai said he was tired and returned to Hengwuyuan on his own.

Mrs. Wang nodded a few times and suddenly said: "Good boy, I feel happy just looking at you. How about you become my goddaughter?"

At this time, Jia Lian introduced Xue Biao into the Rongqing Hall. Seeing that Xue Biao was young, handsome and well-behaved, Jia's mother was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered Sister Feng to prepare a banquet.

Bao Qin smiled brightly: "I look more dignified when I look at my sister."

At that moment, Baochai introduced him to everyone, and Baoqin was greeted by Luandaanda in turn, and then he returned to Rongqing Hall with the girls with a smile.

The two grandsons and grandsons sang in harmony, which was particularly harsh in Baochai's ears. "Here comes a young one" is clearly an insinuation that she has reached marriageable age; since Baochai came to Jia's house, has she ever been so favored by the old lady?
Because now he knew that Jia Mu was deliberately angry with him, Baochai looked at his cousin Baoqin with a bad look.

Mother Jia has been in charge of the family her whole life, and has only gradually let go over the past few years. How can she not understand Mrs. Wang's thoughts? But she didn't care at all!
Bao Qin is outstanding, but his background is not even comparable to Baochai. The old lady doesn't even like Baochai, how can she like Baoqin? She held Baoqin and devalued Baochai, but she just found a reason to drive Baochai away.

Before entering Yihong Courtyard, Daiyu suddenly asked Xiangyun and said, "Guess what Baoyu is doing right now?"

Because I heard that the second brother and sister of the Xue family were coming, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang were both here at this moment.

Xue Biao settled down briefly, got up and went out.

Jia Lian wondered: "Where are you going, brother scorpion?"

Xue Biao hurriedly said: "Brother Lian, I don't know, but I got help from Uncle Li that day, so I came back from Guangzhou to ask for money. This time I come to Beijing, I have to pay a visit."

Jia Lian then smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to have met Brother Jian. Brother Jian and I have always been close. If anything happens, just come and find me."

Xue Biao agreed with a smile, left Rongguo Mansion, and walked a short distance to Jinglingbo Mansion, where he respectfully handed over the greeting card. The door accepted it and asked Xue Biao where he was staying now, and then sent the greeting card inside.

Xue Biao sent the greeting card and returned to the small courtyard, so he didn't mention it.

At noon that day, Li Weijian returned home shortly after.

After entering the inner house and washing his hands, he quietly asked about yesterday's situation.

Fu Qiufang said: "What else can I do? According to the master's instructions, I asked my second sister-in-law to carry her back with the box and cage." After a pause, he added: "I heard from the maid that everything was fine in Rongguo Mansion last night. , I guess the second sister-in-law suppressed the matter."

Li Weijian frowned and thought, then immediately forgot about it. It was expected that Sister Bao and Sister Feng had made a private deal, and Sister Feng had benefited greatly, so she let Baochai go.

That's not the case. How could Sister Feng give up such a good thing that would not only embarrass Mrs. Wang but also go along with Jia Mu's wishes?
I just don’t know how much benefit Sister Bao has given up to Sister Feng by returning to the bottom.

After thinking about it, Li Weijian sat down and Fu Qiufang came over and said, "It seems that there are guests in the Rongguo Mansion at noon today. The disciple said it was a man and a woman who came, and he turned around and just sent a greeting card."

"Oh?"

Fu Qiufang hurriedly handed over the greeting card. Li Weijian glanced at it and then started to ponder it. The greeting card was sent by Xue Biao. I expected that Xue Xiaomei would also come with her?

Suddenly thinking of Xue Xiaomei's appearance in the TV series, Li Weijian suddenly lost interest. Instead, he felt that Xue Biao was a calm and grateful person. He had cultivated her well and could be regarded as a help.

Qian Xue replied again and said: "Master, aunt, Rongguo Mansion sent a message saying that the old lady is hosting a banquet today to welcome the second master of the Xue family and Miss Qin. If you have time, please come and join us." It’s lively and lively.”

Li Weijian smiled and refused: "I'll forget it. I'll just say that I'm busy with household chores today and I'll go and talk to the old lady some other time."

The two families lived next to each other and had many contacts, so they became more relaxed.

Qianxue got the order and went to talk to her daughter-in-law who came to deliver the message. She then replied to Jia Mu.

Mother Jia didn't care after hearing this. Rongguo Mansion was always busy for birthday celebrations or just because she was bored. Li Weijian was so busy that it didn't matter if he missed a visit or two.

When it came to Deshen, Li Wan first returned from the palace, followed by Aunt Xue and Xue Pan.

Not to mention Li Wan, just talk about Aunt Xue and Xue Pan. One of them has wet tears, and the other is withered and droopy.

Yesterday, Aunt Xue stayed overnight at Wanning Temple. She felt that praying for her deceased husband would always make her feel better down there. Xue Pan came to Wanning Temple early this morning and performed rituals with Aunt Xue.

Xue Pan hesitated to speak several times, and it was late in the afternoon before he told what happened last night.

After hearing this, Aunt Xue was stunned with shock. She pulled Xue Pan and beat her hard. Xue Pan took it without saying a word. After Aunt Xue burst into tears, she said: "Why do you need to cry, mother? My sister was brought back safely, and she didn't There is a loss.”

Aunt Xue immediately scolded: "How can you expose this evil barrier with just a simple 'never made a mistake'? How do you want the Li family to view your sister? How do you want the Jia family to view your sister? Come on, our family is afraid that this will happen again." I’m too embarrassed to stay in the Jia family.”

Xue Pan refused to be convinced. He raised his eyes with his neck raised and said, "If you follow me, Uncle Li will only be applauded if he accepts his sister. What kind of virtue is Baoyu? The second brother Lian is also the one who wants to attack the king of the Jia family. He will just eat and wait to die." What can an idle person do?”

"you--"

"Besides, the Xia family is rushing to send girls to be concubines, and they also give millions of dollars in wealth, but they don't want them. Mom, why don't you think about it, our family might be better than the Xia family now?"

Hearing this, Aunt Xue burst into tears again. I secretly thought to myself, if it was because of this evil obstacle that someone was killed, how could the Xue family be inferior to the Xia family?

I wanted to scold Xue Pan again, but I knew that Xue Pan was a fool who couldn't understand clearly, and I was afraid that even if he was taught a lesson, he would not remember it for long. Thinking of her daughter Baochai again, Aunt Xue hurriedly returned to Rongguo Mansion.

When I got to the northeast, I went to the small courtyard and hurriedly sent Tongxi away to hunt for the treasure hairpin. After a while, Baochai arrived. Aunt Xue immediately stood up and took Baochai's hands, crying: "My son, you have suffered so much."

Baochai had been depressed all night, and now when she saw Aunt Xue, her eyes were red and she was about to cry. At that moment, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried. Xue Pan stood here, feeling that he was not at fault, so he only frowned and did not say much.

After a long while, Aunt Xue asked: "My son, what happened... yesterday?"

Baochai smiled sadly: "What else can we do? Fourth brother Jian... avoided it and never showed up. The one who showed up was Fu Qiufang. She had always been on good terms with Feng Yatou, so she sent someone to ask Feng Yatou to deal with it." "This... ..." Aunt Xue was horrified.

Aunt Xue only wanted Baochai to become Baochai's second grandmother. When this happened, she took advantage of the situation and took away the power of housekeeping from Sister Feng, letting her daughter Baochai take over. Because of these thoughts, he and Sister Feng only maintained a close relationship with each other on weekdays. They never had a close friendship and there were quite a lot of disagreements in private.

Aunt Xue thought to herself, if it were her, she would have to make the other party look embarrassed!
Then Baochai said again: "I saw that I couldn't ask for anything, so I had to swear a poisonous oath and give him a clue, and I was able to escape."

Xue Pan on the side suddenly shouted: "What's the reason? They are all relatives, what does Feng girl want to do?"

Aunt Xue immediately shouted: "Nie Zhan, shut up!"

Aunt Xue found a handkerchief and wiped away Baochai's tears, and asked with concern: "What's next?"

Baochai said: "Girl Feng has figured it out. I don't expect it to happen for a while. There is nothing going on here in the Rongguo Mansion, but it's the Li family's side--"

As he said that, he looked at his brother Xue Pan bitterly, and he looked at Xue Pan with an incomprehensible heart.

Aunt Xue said: "No matter what, even if I come to ask for help in person, I still have to keep my reputation. Hey, you are so good, why did you get to this point?"

The girl's family's reputation was extremely high, and Li Weijian was so powerful now that he didn't dare to have too much contact with Daiyu before marriage, so he was wary of Youyou Zhongkou.

If Baochai's reputation is ruined, there is no need to think about her marriage to Baoyu. She is afraid that she won't even be able to marry into a middle-class family in the future. Not only that, but the arranged marriage to the Xia family will also fall through!
When the wall fell and everyone pushed back, Aunt Wang had already coveted the Xue family's property, and the eldest master Jia She also coveted it, so how could she let go of such an opportunity? Not to mention the wolves, tigers and leopards outside, I'm afraid the Xue family will be torn apart!
Seeing that Baochai was speechless, Aunt Xue said again: "I'm going to find someone to give Jian... Uncle Li has a message, no matter what, no matter what -"

I was halfway through speaking, but I couldn't continue. Li Weijian is not short of money, and he doesn't like Baochai at this time. What can Aunt Xue do to stop the Li family?
Aunt Xue suddenly felt gloomy in her heart when she thought that Brother Jian, whom she once looked down upon, had now become Uncle Li whom she could not reach. Looking at Baochai with tears in his eyes, he felt that he had been stupid that day. Why didn't he see that Brother Jian was the best among men?
If this matter were accomplished early in the morning, then why would the Xue family be so shameless as to stay with the Jia family and not leave?

Baochai stopped her tears and said, "One more thing. Xue Biao and Bao Qin from the second room came together at noon and told the old lady that my aunt was not in good health and wanted to marry Bao Qin in advance."

"Mother Baoqin is not in good health?" Aunt Xue had a lot of contact with her grandma when she was in Jinling, but she couldn't remember when she was in bad health.

Baochai said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that the second wife came to Beijing this time because Xiangzhuang danced with the sword and was interested in Peigong."

Aunt Xue was horrified and said: "For the family property?"

Baochai replied silently, and Aunt Xue frowned again. It's really a dilapidated house and it rains all night. Bad things happen one after another, and there's no room for respite.

Aunt Xue said: "This matter... put it off as long as you can. The Li family's matters are more important."

Sister Bao said, "I'm afraid my cousin is not easy to talk to."

Aunt Xue suddenly looked at Xue Pan and said, "Then tell him that after your brother gets married, the family property will be distributed to the second wife. Since your brother is responsible for this matter, you need your brother to settle it."

Xue Pannahan said: "What is mom talking about?"

"Shut up!"

Xue Pan immediately became speechless.

............................................................

When it came to Deshen, a banquet was held in the large flower hall behind Jia Mu.

Because the Ningguo family was still mourning, Youshi, Youlao Niang, the second sister, the third sister, etc. did not attend the meeting.

Baoyu made a fuss about coming, but Mrs. Wang bluffed her into moving Jia Zhenglai out, and then she gave up her mind. During the banquet, all the girls were full of witty words and laughing. Jia Mu directly pulled the newly arrived Baoqin beside her, picked up Baoqin's favorite food and placed it in front of her. She also called twelve little actors from Lixiangyuan to let Baoqin picked up some interesting pieces to play.

Sister Bao had just experienced what happened at noon, her face was calm and she didn't say much; Aunt Xue felt sour when she saw Jia Mu treating Bao Qin so well.

He also heard that Mrs. Wang had adopted Baoqin as her goddaughter, and knew that her sister Mrs. Wang was using this to dispel Baoqin's thoughts, and her thoughts suddenly became alive again.

Seeing that the newcomer Bao Qin was so favored, Daiyu got Li Weijian's advice, and knew that there might be another reason behind it, so she didn't say much. However, Xiangyun couldn't help but feel disgusted, and quietly said to Daiyu: "My aunt, too. , I’ll pamper the new one. If someone comes again in the future, I’m afraid we’ll have to sit further back.”

Daiyu smiled and said: "Qizui, you just told me this, why didn't you tell grandma?"

Xiangyun was still pouting at first, but then he started laughing when he heard this: "She just came today? I don't think she will stay long, so why should I go to my great-aunt to chat with her?"

Daiyu said cheerfully: "Hey, Girl Yun is so deceitful. See if I don't turn around and tell Fourth Brother Jian."

"Huh?" Xiangyun was stunned and said angrily: "We sisters are talking in private, where can we talk to Fourth Brother Jian?"

Daiyu deliberately teased and said playfully: "Oh, it turns out that my sister thinks that Fourth Brother Jian is an outsider."

"This -" Xiangyun was stunned for a moment, and had no choice but to imitate the man's example and beg for mercy: "Sister Lin, please bypass this small one."

Daiyu was so amused that she couldn't stop laughing.

A feast that lasted until night. The girls went back to the garden respectively, and Baoqin naturally stayed in Jia Mu's room.

............................................................

On the other side, after dinner that day, Li Weijian wrote and drew in the study, then returned to the inner house to play with his concubines.

At this moment, Fu Qiufang, Qingwen, Hongyu, and Xiuying were playing horse crane together. Li Weijian found a soft couch to lay on, while Xiangling kneaded her carefully with her bare hands.

The smoke from the ice flakes in the incense burner rises, driving away the mosquitoes that have penetrated the green gauze. He looked like he was resting with his eyes closed, but actually he was calculating the progress in his mind.

I got good news today. The three open-hearth furnaces in Laoting have been completed and will be put into use after inspection in the future. Another basic material problem that troubles industrialization has been solved.

The steam engine factory is still being dismantled, and it is estimated that it will not settle down until autumn. However, the new steam engine had already been finalized, and Li Weijian gave a rough drawing and asked the craftsmen to think about how to move it onto the ship.

If it can stably provide power to ships, then we can further try to build trains.

Now that I think about it, only the chemical industry has stagnated. It seems like it's time to offer a heavy reward and try the lead chamber method to create sulfuric acid.

Without sulfuric acid, just relying on the Dashun saltpeter to scrape the latrines, I am afraid that a big battle will consume all the accumulated saltpeter. Also because of the saltpeter, it has not yet been decided whether to send troops to Junggar this summer and autumn.

Just as he was thinking about it, Qianxue suddenly came in with a strange look on his face and saluted. She whispered to Fu Qiufang who was doing the horse-drawing first, and then Fu Qiufang also looked strange.

Xiu Ying saw it, looked down at her cards, immediately threw them on the table, and said cheerfully: "Since sister has something to do, I think it's better to leave today."

Qingwen immediately joked: "You are the one who loses the most. Fortunately, I saved you. Otherwise, I would have lost all my money this month."

Xiu Ying laughed, pulled Qing Wen and left. Xiang Ling was also very eye-catching. She smiled with Li Weijian and followed Qingwen. Hongyu and Fu Qiufang looked at each other, and Fu Qiufang said, "You should also stay and listen."

Hongyu was immediately excited.

Fu Qiufang turned around and came to Li Weijian's side, and whispered: "Master, Mrs. Xue's family wants to see you."

Li Weijian slowly opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Where is this coming from?"

Hongyu smiled and said: "Why else? I'm afraid it's for the sake of the Xue family's name."

Li Weijian sneered and said: "We can't drive them away. Now the Xue family is a joke in the eyes of nobles. How can they have a clear name?" After a pause, he stood up and stretched his body and said: "When you go to receive the reception, just say that I am the master." Huizi fell asleep."

Fu Qiufang suddenly muttered, as if he wanted to say something.

Li Weijian reached out and pinched the tip of her pretty nose and said, "What are you afraid of? Aunt Xue is not even a child. Believe it or not, if you leave it outside, people will value you more? Oh, don't belittle yourself." As he said this, he walked around with his hands behind his back. He left to look for Qingwen, leaving only one sentence: "Gone."

Fu Qiufang's blood surged and her face turned rosy! My heart was in turmoil, I just wished I could mess with Li Weijian right now!
What she pursues diligently is to marry a good man and get a royal title. Although she is a concubine now, because the mistress has never been in the house, Li Weijian only has her as his concubine in name. Doesn't her status make her more valuable than the mistress of an ordinary family?

What you lose is what you gain, what you gain is mulberry elm. Let’s not think about the fate for the time being, but the status is real! Thinking of this, Fu Qiufang's heart surged, and she suddenly felt proud.

Taking a deep breath, he turned to look at Hongyu, only to see that Hongyu was in the same condition. The two looked at each other and smiled, and Fu Qiufang smiled and said: "I don't want to keep my aunt waiting for too long, let's go and have a meeting now, right?"

Hongyu said knowingly: "Auntie, please come first."

Fu Qiufang said angrily: "Begging for a beating!"

The two women chatted and smiled happily and walked out together. After a while, they arrived in the side hall. When they entered the door, they saw Aunt Xue sitting on pins and needles holding a tea cup.

Seeing the two women, he quickly stood up and looked past the two of them, but Li Weijian was nowhere to be seen. Aunt Xue suddenly looked disappointed: "Jian...why don't you see Uncle Li?"

Fu Qiufang walked over in a hurry and said with a smile: "I want my concubine to know that I have been busy all day long, and when I came back in the afternoon, I kept seeing customers. I was just so tired that my head hurt, so I went to bed early."

As he spoke, he sat down generously, extended his hand to invite Aunt Xue to sit down, and said with a smile: "The master will leave the affairs of the house to me and Hongyu for the time being, and the master has never paid attention to such chores. If you have anything to do with your aunt, you might as well tell me directly. . If I can’t do it, I’ll tell you later.”

"This……"

Aunt Xue felt desolate! Once again, I truly feel that Li Weijian is no longer what he used to be!

Yes, he has soared into the sky and is now the famous Jingling Bo. She was just a businesswoman, and she could only win over Li Weijian by talking about marriage in a roundabout way. And the discord in the early years caused the family to separate from the Xue family early. Now that I am asking for help again, not to mention just sending my concubine to greet me, or turning me away, what can Aunt Xue do?

Aunt Xue felt so ashamed that she wanted to get up and leave, but she didn't dare.

He gritted his teeth and said casually: "At his age, he has to work a lot with errands. It's my presumptuous thing to say...but you also know that I have to come."

As he spoke, he pulled Fu Qiufang's hand. He felt sad and ashamed, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Fu Qiufang knowingly asked, "What happened to my concubine?" She turned to look at Hongyu, who hurriedly offered the handkerchief.

Aunt Xue took it, held it in her hand, and cried: "I came here because of yesterday's incident. Unfortunately, my family had such evil obstacles, and did such a ridiculous thing. I also know... Now that my uncle is avoiding my family, I also ask Qiu Fang to tell my uncle that this matter was all done by the evildoer in my family, and it was definitely not the Xue family’s deliberate plot against my uncle.”

Fu Qiufang said: "My master has praised Miss Bao's character a long time ago. We concubines know it. I also thought that I would never be so abrupt. It's just that the concubine must be well controlled. That is to say, my master is a decent man, but if someone else throws him out of the house in anger, no one would be able to find fault, right?"

Aunt Xue nodded bitterly: "Yes."

Fu Qiufang held a gun and a stick and said: "Between these relatives, if you get along with each other, you should be closer; if you don't get along with each other, you should be distant. It is enough to maintain the relationship between relatives, and there is no need to be too warm. My master is generous. , I don’t want to care about this matter, but my concubine must be aware of it, so that there won’t be a next time.”

Aunt Xue's face turned red with shame, so Weiwei agreed and promised: "There will never be a next time!"

Fu Qiufang nodded and said: "I was the one who handled the matter yesterday. I wanted to clear the name of the girl involved in Bao Bao, because only a few close friends knew about it. Madam, please rest assured that my Li family's family tradition will never let gossip spread. go out."

This is what Aunt Xue wanted, and she was filled with emotion when she heard the words: "Hey, this time I am disturbing your house. In the future, I -"

Then Fu Qiufang smiled and shook his head and said, "Concubine, you don't have to be like this. We are relatives. If you say anything else, you are heretics."

Yes, they are just relatives in a corner. If they act shamelessly, don't blame the Li family for the incident!
