Chapter 182
The two talked about whether Xue Baochai could have a son, and the topic somehow turned to the concubine and the concubine, Mrs. Wang mentioned that she was only one year younger than Baoyu, and now she is also in the same grade, Jia Tanchun, and said complaining words: "My sister is still better than me, and now Tanchun is also older, maybe I have heard that her sister's noble numerology has heard a lot since she was a child, and I don't know who to learn from, and her heart is very big, and she only thinks about how to get ahead every day." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info She went to her mother's yard all day to scold the chickens and dogs, and let people gossip that it was to please me, as if I was so careful that I wanted to be angry with a slave. Mrs. Wang didn't mention the joy in her heart when she heard them making a fuss in the backyard, and only talked about the impact on her after the news spread, but who didn't have a wife and concubine and a concubine who fought like this, everyone at most listened and laughed and passed.
Aunt Xue also smiled and listened casually, she married from Xungui's family to a merchant's family because the Wang family needed the support of silver, and the unequal status made Master Xue have to favor her alone, although there were also entertainment or red sleeves to add fragrance, but in the end she didn't create a concubine and a concubine at home, Aunt Xue just turned a blind eye and pretended not to see. However, her sister Mrs. Wang married Jia Zheng, the most famous scholar in Xunguili at that time, from the family of military generals, and her status was not as high as his, so of course her confidence was short. But everyone has their own fate, if it weren't for her daughter Baochai being so smart, would it be her turn to be the older Jia Yuanchun as her mother? Aunt Xue's smile had a hint of sarcasm in it, and it soon disappeared.
Turning her head and talking about her concubine again, Mrs. Wang complained about Jia Huan, who was already five years old, as usual, and Aunt Zhao was making a fuss about asking him to ask Mr. Enlightenment. Then he complained: "Baoyu is still in the family studies, isn't his brother Zhu'er also in the family studies?" He is a concubine, and he is embarrassed to say that he is smart and studious, and if he is really so studious, he should first learn the Book of Filial Piety! ”
Mrs. Wang complained about the concubines and concubines, and Aunt Xue listened to them all as gossip, and when she went back to see her daughter, she would tell it as a joke. Yes, Xue Baochai is particularly liked by the prince of Nan'an, so the prince of Nan'an authorized her to go home to see if she is fine, so Xue Baochai often goes home to chat with her mother. Although this permission of the prince of Nan'an is actually aimed at Xue Baochai being able to go back to take care of her family's shop, and to give more filial piety to the palace every year, of course Xue Baochai will not let go of the opportunity to go back to see his mother on vacation. Now although the prince of Nan'an said that he was arrested, the princess trusted her more because of Xue Baochai's dedication, so Xue Baochai was still not restricted from going out.
At noon, Mrs. Wang entertained Aunt Xue for lunch, and then went back to the house, and Aunt Xue thought that her daughter might go home, so she took her leave and went back to Xue's house. Xue Mansion is in the rich people's settlement area in Beijing, although it is not as majestic as Rongguo Mansion and Nan'an Wangfu, but it is also pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, it looks magnificent, because Xue Pan was imprisoned in the military camp for training, and he did not come back for several months, except for the people in the house, there is no popularity, and Aunt Xue had to raise a few beautiful thrushes at home, and listen to their calls every morning.
Sure enough, Aunt Xue returned to her room and crooked for a while, and then heard that Xue Baochai was back, she hurriedly called someone to welcome her into the house, and she hurriedly put on her shoes and walked out. When I arrived at the door, I saw a group of people surrounding Xue Baochai and walked in, seeing her at the door, Xue Baochai hurriedly walked a few steps to greet her: "It's still a little cold outside, Mom, don't come out, isn't it good to wait for me in the house?" ”
Aunt Xue didn't see her daughter for a few days, so she couldn't think about it, she would only look at her daughter from beginning to end, and when she heard her daughter's concerned words, she said with a smile: "Where is it so fragile, I will wait for you at the door." Taking Xue Baochai's hand and walking to the house and sitting down affectionately, she looked her daughter up and down, and asked, "My son, I heard that the county lord is crazy in the mansion?" I've hurt a lot of people, are you okay? ”
Xue Baochai heard her mother ask about it, first smiled and said that she was fine, and then asked the old grandmother who followed her mother to take the people around her to rest, saying that the mother and daughter wanted to talk privately. Although the grandmother came out of the Annan Palace, she is now in the Xue family to retire, of course, everything will follow the wishes of the Xue family.
Xue Baochai saw that people were going out, so he sighed and said: "Our mother and daughter closed the door to talk, and I am not afraid to say it, the county lord has now injured all the girls with heads and faces around her, and the concubines in the backyard who said cool words have been taught a lesson by the county lord under the pretext." Fortunately, I was blessed by the princess, so I was lucky to be safe. ”
Aunt Xue heard that the county lord had injured the concubine, and her heart was pinched, and then she heard Xue Baochai say that the princess blessed her, and she was immediately relieved: "My son, you are still smart." Now that the whole city knows that the county lord is going with his relatives, you can bear with it a little bit, and wait for her and her relatives to leave. But the princess... How did she think of bless you? "Is it true that he can't give birth to a son, so he wants to borrow his belly?
Aunt Xue thought of this, the whole person was a little bad, she was worried that her daughter would be borrowed by the princess, in case her daughter gave birth to a child in the future, there would be three long and two short... She clenched her daughter's hand in fear.
Xue Baochai didn't know what her mother had made up in her brain, she listened to her mother's question, smiled mysteriously, and whispered: "I suggested to the princess that she learn from the emperor, Tao Dai Li Zhuang." ”
Aunt Xue suddenly thought of the key point, looked at her daughter in surprise, Xue Baochai smiled and said: "As long as the princess recognizes a beautiful and well-trained daughter as her goddaughter, the county lord doesn't have to go to kiss." ”
Aunt Xue suddenly smiled: "Or my son has a way, you came up with such a good idea, the princess doesn't want to thank you." ”
Xue Baochai was very happy to see her mother, but she was afraid of ruining the princess's big event, so she told Aunt Xue not to say it. Aunt Xue listened to her daughter's analysis of the pros and cons, and repeatedly promised her daughter that no one would say anything. The two of them talked about other things, and Aunt Xue said that she would go to Rongguo Mansion in the morning to chat with Mrs. Wang.
Xue Baochai heard Aunt Xue mention the concubine and concubine, and her heart was a little embarrassed, but who said that there was no power in her family? She can only choose to be a concubine, and the child she gives birth to is a concubine.
Aunt Xue saw that her daughter was a little depressed, and hurriedly persuaded Xue Baochai that her situation was different, as long as she had a child in the future, with the blessing of the princess, her child would definitely become a son, and she would also ask her biological mother for a seal in the future.
