The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 42 Life in the capital kicks off (second update)
(Second more sent~~)

How could Jia's mother not like Xue Baoqin's words?Even if there was a bit of intention to take advantage of it, it has now turned into a sincere love for pets.

Shi Xiangyun smiled and said to Xue Baochai in a low voice: "Someone will be spoiled now." Xue Baochai knew that she was referring to Lin Daiyu, and hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, the old lady loves us as much, how can one favor one over another?"

Shi Xiangyun snorted, Lin Daiyu looked a little dazed and didn't answer any more.

Since the old lady left Aunt Li and Baoqin brothers and sisters at home, she naturally had to host a banquet. Tad is also his cousin, and he should be the one to greet him."

Wang Xifeng faltered and covered it up: "Second Master got up early and went out, and he hasn't come back yet! Why don't I ask someone to invite Brother Rong from Dongfu to accompany my cousin for a drink?"

Jia Mu frowned: "Going out early in the morning? I haven't seen him for a few days. What's the big deal? He's so busy that he doesn't come home all day long!"

Aunt Li, who was sitting next to Li Wan, hesitated and said: "When we came, we met a man who called himself Lian's second master. He was fair and handsome, and I heard from my uncle that he came from your family." Yes. Ma'am, there are two Second Lord Lian in the house?"

Jia's mother laughed and said, "Of course there is only one, and that is the husband of our Feng girl, but I don't know which one is the uncle in the aunt's mouth? Why haven't I heard Lian'er mention it?"

Aunt Li hurriedly laughed and said: "The old lady doesn't know yet. Thanks to the care of the eldest lady's natal brother, Mrs. Xing, on the way here, we met the second master Lian when we entered the city. Listening to them, I am afraid that at this moment Second Master Lian took Uncle Xing's family to see the house! We missed my aunt, so we left Uncle Xing's family and rushed to your old lady's place first."

Aunt Li's unintentional remark made everyone unable to recover for a long time.Lin Daiyu was overjoyed, the listless look just now disappeared completely, and she became very affectionate to Aunt Li: "Aunt Li came to Beijing with my adoptive mother? Sister Xing and Zhengde also came with you!"

Coco Li and Li Qi said with a smile: "Sister Xiuyan's calculations are really good. She said earlier that you would ask her and Brother Zhengde, and Sister Xing asked us to ask you hello for her. She said that she will come to the old man when the house is settled. Greetings, ladies and gentlemen."

Shi Xiangyun didn't know, so he was very curious, so he pulled Xue Baochai and asked in a low voice: "Where is Sister Xiuyan coming out again? Why is Sister Lin as energetic as if she had eaten a hundred treasures when she heard her name?"

Xue Baochai said with a low laugh: "You came a few days late. I don't know how much Sister Lin attaches importance to Miss Xing. She is the niece of the eldest wife's natal family, and her maiden name is Xing Xiuyan. It is said that Uncle Xing was ordered to be the head of the Ministry of Punishment. The whole family came to Beijing to report on their work."

Shi Xiangyun suddenly realized: "Oh, it turned out to be her house, no wonder. When I came here a while ago, I heard from Brother Ai that Sister Lin recognized a godmother, who turned out to be a relative of the eldest wife. But..." Shi Xiangyun curled his lips, " This family is so rude, Baoqin, her brothers and sisters and Aunt Li all came to see their ancestors as soon as they came to Beijing, how come their family doesn’t know this kind of etiquette? It’s not that they are not related, so isn’t the eldest wife feeling disappointed?”

Seeing that Shi Xiangyun's voice was getting louder, Xue Baochai quickly slapped the back of her hand lightly with a handkerchief, and said anxiously: "He started talking nonsense again. Let me tell you, don't let this word get into the ears of the eldest lady. In order to keep Xing's family in In Rongguo Mansion, I don’t know how many famines the eldest wife has fought in the old lady’s place, but they have not succeeded, and my mother is too embarrassed to live anymore.”

Shi Xiangyun was filled with righteous indignation: "What reason is this! Your family is a distinguished guest invited by the second wife, and the old ancestor personally persuaded them to stay. The eldest wife has no ability to persuade the old ancestor, so how can you blame your sister and aunt!"

Seeing that Shi Xiangyun's anger had not been extinguished, Xue Baochai regretted talking so much to this reckless girl, hey, when will girl Yun learn half of Tanchun's shrewdness, and she won't be so swayed in the Shi family.Xue Baochai was silent, but it didn't prevent Shi Xiangyun from inquiring about everything. She never saw Sister Bao replying, and she was bored, so she turned to talk to Sanchun.

Besides, Mother Jia was also surprised when she heard the news that the Xing family had entered Beijing, but when she thought that the Xing family did not come to pay their respects, Mother Jia felt a little uncomfortable. "Our Lian'er is a person who knows the rules best. The Xing family is the elder wife's natal brother and Lian'er's uncle. My nephew went to meet his uncle. Why did I forget this!"

When Aunt Xue and Aunt Li heard the words, they hurriedly flattered the Jia family for their respect and courtesy, and praised Wang Xifeng by the way.

Jia's mother laughed and said, "Lian'er has something wrong with it. Since it's my uncle who came to Beijing, how can I live outside and look for a house? It's like a shameless person! Feng girl quickly tidy up a yard and ask Lai Da to take uncle Lord, please come here! By the way, what about your eldest wife, why haven't you seen anyone for so long?"

Mrs. Xing had already heard people report that the relatives of Aunt Xue's family and Li Wan's aunt had all entered the mansion, and the old lady was extremely happy.Mrs. Xing only felt harsh, so she was angry and refused to meet people, hiding in the room and sulking.

Wang Xifeng didn't believe that Mother Jia didn't know what the eldest wife was thinking, so she just laughed dryly and said, "Our wife had a blown wind yesterday, and she suffered from a severe headache. I just invited Doctor Wang to come to see her, and now she is taking medicine and resting!"

Then Jia Mu nodded: "Your wife is in a sickly body, so it's hard for her to come to greet me every day. You go back to your wife later, and you don't have to come at night to set rules. Tell her to concentrate on doing a few small things. A gift for the girls and young masters of my uncle's family!"

Mother Jia gradually showed a tired posture, Aunt Xue and Aunt Li hurriedly got up and said goodbye, Jia Baoyu was also anxious to take Baoqin and Li's sisters to the Grand View Garden, wishing to leave early.The crowd was sparsely rushing out, and Jia Mu suddenly stopped Wang Xifeng: "I have a few words to ask you, you can leave later."

Hu Po closed the door, leaving the mandarin ducks to wait on the old lady and Wang Xifeng.

"Let me ask you, where did Lian'er buy the house? Who paid for the money? Did you put it first or did the Xing family know that they were going to Beijing a long time ago and sent someone to give the money?"

Wang Xifeng smiled wryly and said, "Old Ancestor, I really don't know anything about it. It's like he's a different person since he came back from Jiangnan. He doesn't discuss anything with me."

Jia's mother thought that Wang Xifeng was lying to her, so she said with a straight face: "He is buying a yard, not a piece of cake or a piece of cloth, which costs a lot of money. Lian'er, I don't know? I don't have a few taels of money in my hand." , how can he buy a house if you don't pay?"

Wang Xifeng wanted to yell that she was wronged, but on second thought, if it was said that Jia Lian's private house had a lot of money, the old lady would think it was the money of Miss Lin who stole and hid it back then, and if there was nothing, it would cause trouble for the second master.Wang Xifeng held back and said nothing, "I have no choice but to wait until the second master comes back in the evening, and I will ask the old lady about it."

Mother Jia had no choice but to follow Wang Xifeng's wishes, but Mother Jia was full of displeasure at Jia Lian's behavior of sticking to the Xing family.How could she have guessed that the other side of the capital was very lively, and Jia Lian had to work hard for a long time to arrange the Xing family into a new residence.

A mansion with five entrances and five exits, where the Xing family is about to kick off their life in the capital
