18. The eighteenth round

After Baochai entered Beijing, she followed her mother to her uncle's house several times.

My uncle was away from home these days, so their mother and daughter and aunt didn't move around with her aunt as much as they thought they would—not as often as she thought.

In other words, Sister Lin has a stepmother, and her stepmother is extraordinary and young, listening to her aunt's meaning, she reminded the old lady too much to call Sister Lin to her side to watch, and at the same time pick a young offspring on her mother's side...... Everyone knows that it is best to be able to kiss and be pro.

Somehow, this word reached the ears of my aunt, who discussed with my aunt for a while, and had the heart to keep a matchmaker for her mother's nephew. But after my aunt entered the palace and saw Niangniang, no one mentioned this again.

Baochai can also think of it: this is the mother does not agree. She actually wanted to know why Niangniang disagreed, after all, it would not hurt her to figure out the thoughts of nobles.

But if you don't think it through for a while, it doesn't matter.

In his hometown, the Xue family is also a local tyrant, and after entering Beijing, Baochai and his mother and brother live with their aunt, which is indeed not as comfortable as being at home, and even has a feeling of being under the fence - but the Xue family's house is not in the inner city, and if they live in their own home, they can't at least "look up and see each other" with the neighbors of Ningrong and Ningrong. It must be known that the neighbors of the two mansions of Ningrong are at least the homes of the nobles.

Baochai knew that her mother was a little unsightly to borrow the face of Rongfu, but she always thought about her.

However, I followed my mother to my uncle's house, and listened to my aunt and mother talking about Daiyu from time to time, but she didn't say a word about her own affairs, and Baochai was a little confused.

Don't look at Baochai yet, but she is already sensible: when she enters Beijing to be selected, she has to count on her uncle to reach out, and she has to help her brother get an official body first. Otherwise, even if you are selected to enter the palace, you can only start from the palace maid.

It's just that my brother caused a lawsuit before entering Beijing, and although it has been cleaned up now, it has some impact after all.

At this time, cousin Yuan Chun also made a concubine...... I also want to know that my nephews and nephews have a house master, and my uncle will not bother to bring out the next one.

Even if his uncle was in the official residence, he never thought of making his two nieces concubines.

Although these words are a little frustrating, Baochai knows that his uncle does not have this ability yet. There is no hope of entering the palace, so Baochai has to think more about and prepare for her marriage.

The sisters of Yingchun and Tanchun are all concubines, and the sister of Xichun is too young, and Xiangyun can't be the master at home, so Baochai befriended Daiyu with her heart.

Looking at it today, Daiyu came to her grandmother's house, and her stepmother followed, and Baochai knew that Daiyu was still favored at home. Come to think of it, Daiyu's stepmother couldn't be worse than Daiyu before she didn't have a child of her own. What if you have children of your own? Daiyu is a girl, and she can't get in the way.

The Xue family has a very thick background, and Baochai also let her parents love her in every way to grow up, and there is never a shortage of gold and silver, and she never takes silver money to heart...... She cares more about things that can't be done with money! For example, she wants to use her friendship with Daiyu to enter and exit high-ranking officials.

However, she has always been generous and generous, and she has good things to share with her sisters, Daiyu has rarely met since she went home, let her pick first, and Sanchun has nothing to say.

Daiyu took a look, and pulled Sanchun to pick together.

At a glance at Daiyu's dress, Baochai is very clear: just rely on the hairpin ring to please Daiyu...... It's just daydreaming.

Baochai thought about it for a while, and then remembered...... Why don't you take turns as a few sisters? I just want to be able to talk a lot about being close.

At this time, Baoyu had already saluted with her sisters in turn, and then her eyes were all glued to Daiyu.

It is common to be with Sister Bao, but Sister Lin is not a rare guest, and she doesn't get along as much day and night as before. Baoyu once had no thoughts of estrangement from the sisters, and Daiyu also lost her temper because of Baoyu and Baochai's closeness, but once the two separated and met again, those little awkwardness did not exist.

At least Daiyu doesn't care about it anymore: she is busy caring for her father and trying to get along with her stepmother.

But the bright and generous Daiyu made Baoyu a little strange, and I thought he should appease Sister Lin, who had an extra stepmother...... As a result, how do you think Sister Lin is even more ...... than when she was in Rongfu Rounded up a bit?

The girls muttered that he didn't interject for a while, and Baoyu was a little uncomfortable for a while.

Watching Baoyu and Daiyu get along, Baochai also sighed secretly: It's different after all. And Baoyu didn't look at her after that, except for the moment when she saw the ceremony...... Baochai is also a little tasteless.

However, the things that I thought of couldn't be thrown away, so Baochai said, "Sister Lin has seen less, our sisters might as well set a day to take turns to be the east, so it's a good joke, and Sister Shi, we can't forget her." ”

Welcoming the spring, exploring the spring and cherishing the spring and the host of Xiangyun, Baochai didn't mind going out for them.

Yingchun is a bit stupid, Xichun is young, but Tanchun is different.

I heard that my uncle was promoted and became an official of the six departments, compare my father who has been working as a foreigner in the Ministry of Works...... Why didn't Tanchun think that it was time to get close to this cousin? Even if you don't have a score in your heart, what don't you understand when you look at Sister Bao's words and deeds?

Daiyu didn't think so much about it, and responded with a smile.

I went to my stepmother's house and got to know several sisters and sisters, and only a few days later, she received a post from her new sister...... However, the sisters and sisters of her grandfather's family should not be left out in the cold.

As soon as Baoyu heard this, he came to the spirit and said that he would also be an east.

Daiyu smiled and said nothing: suddenly remembering that sisters get along, it seems inappropriate for Baoyu to be a man...... But if you don't take him, he won't follow. I often go back to my grandmother's house and don't say anything about it, but I'm afraid that I won't be very happy in my heart.

Daiyu remembered her father's words: Your grandmother really cares for you, and the two uncles are fine, and the two aunts, especially the second aunt, have to be guarded against. Back then, your mother and your second aunt couldn't get along.

Now that I think about it, when she lived with her grandmother temporarily, she occasionally heard one or two sentences that were not very "pleasant", and the second aunt may not have known it.

Thinking of this, Daiyu couldn't help but sigh softly: her stepmother was good to her, and her grandmother was good to her...... How should she be close on both sides

, so that both sides are not embarrassed...... The more I think about it, the more headaches I get.

This...... That's right, why did Daiyu suddenly look like she had something on her mind? Tanchun and Baochai glanced at each other.

Baoyu has always paid attention to Sister Lin, and he has always been considerate, so he immediately said at this moment, "What? What's the difficulty? ”

Daiyu shook her head, "Not really. "Go back and ask my father what to do.

However, it was said that Mother Jia and Wang Chan were talking in the hall, and Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Sister Li Kunfeng were all accompanied.

In terms of background and knowledge, only Jia Mu and Wang Chan can talk.

Jia Mu did have the heart to listen to the affairs of the palace from Wang Chan...... Of course, you can't ask directly, so it becomes a secret in the palace.

The old lady was old and refined, and only asked Wang Chan's family how it was, and finally focused on the last sentence: "Is the virtuous concubine Niangniang good?" ”

Wang Chan smiled slightly, "Niangniang is very good, but she is worried about the Nine Emperors." ”

Mrs. Wang raised her head slightly when she heard this: The Nine Emperor Princes have been married for almost a year, and there is no good news, so Concubine Xian is anxious? Could it be that you want to pick a side room? You have to go into the palace and ask the concubine for an idea.

Mrs. Wang's reaction made Wang Chan see it.

Wang Chanxin said that the old man really didn't wronged her, and Daiyu should stay away from her second aunt. It's just that I heard that the concubine can carry it clearly, but I didn't expect that there would be such a mother.

The cousin seems to have the heart to join forces with the concubine...... When I went back to the palace and saw my cousin, I should also bring a message.

Jia Mu can only make some friendships at this time to facilitate future exchanges. But I didn't expect that a word from someone would arouse another thing in the second daughter-in-law's mind.

Yingchun is a little more than Tanchun, and Mrs. Xing is also a little more stayy than Mrs. Wang. She was still carefully pondering the trade in medicinal materials that Wang Chan had just talked about -- there was a small shop for medicinal herbs in Wang Chan's dowry, and when the southwest suffered a disaster a while ago, Wang Chan sent someone back to her mother's house to ask how much money she wanted to prepare for porridge and medicine.

By the way, Wang Chan is from the southwest.

Let's not mention everyone's thoughts for the time being, at least on the surface, the guests and hosts are happy - Sister Feng has a clever mouth, and she is used to making jokes and flattering people.

Everyone laughed for a while, and Mother Jia was about to open her mouth to keep eating, when she heard the mandarin duck come to report: "My aunt and the second master are back together." ”

Lin Hai came to pick up his wife and children home, and when he met Jia Zheng on the way, he followed him into the house. Unexpectedly, he had just come with Jia Zheng to greet Jia's mother, and the little servant had already chased after him, "The Fifth Prince and the Ninth Emperor went to our house." ”

Lin Hai gave the two of them a thumbs up: The two highnesses are good assists! I am worried that there is no reason to take my wife and children home for dinner.
