Chapter 189 The Xue Family (1)
Aunt Xue hurried back to her courtyard, sent the maids and mothers-in-law out, and entered the house alone. Seeing Baochai sitting in the room, Aunt Xue smiled lovingly: "Didn't you let you play with the sisters?" How do you sit here alone? ”
Xue Baochai replied with a smile: "The talent is gone, how can you go again?" Hearing Xue Baochai say this, Aunt Xue nodded and said, "That's okay, you rest first." With that, Aunt Xue entered the inner room.
Xue Baochai didn't care at first, thinking that Aunt Xue was just going into the inner room to change clothes, but she didn't want Aunt Xue to come out again after a while, still wearing the same clothes as before, and looking at it, she was going out the door. Xue Baochai couldn't help but stop Aunt Xue and said, "Mom, where are you going?" ”
Aunt Xue stopped and smiled at Xue Baochai: "Go to your aunt's yard, there are some things, it's good for you to play by yourself, or go to the sister's house to play, don't patronize and be bored in the house." Saying that, Aunt Xue was going out.
As soon as Xue Baochai heard that Aunt Xue was going to Mrs. Wang's courtyard again, she couldn't help but stop her, frowned and asked, "What did Aunt Fang Cai say to her mother?" I've just come back and passed, isn't there something wrong? ”
Aunt Xue thought about it, Baochai will also join Jiafu in the future, and she will be smart and sensible when she is young, and she doesn't have to hide it from her. So I learned what Mrs. Wang said before, and learned it from Baochai again.
Baochai frowned more and more when she listened, and finally asked: "I remember listening to my mother, my aunt also asked you to borrow tens of thousands of taels of silver last time, but is there such a thing?" Aunt Xue didn't expect Xue Baochai to suddenly mention this, so she was stunned before nodding and said, "There is such a thing, ...... at that time"
Before Aunt Xue finished speaking, Baochai asked again: "How much does Aunt borrow now?" Aunt Xue smiled and said: "It's not much, your aunt said, just looking at us working together, I thought that building a garden was a big deal, so I took 140,000 taels, and it happened to be an integer from before, right?" ”
As soon as Aunt Xue finished speaking, Baochai sighed angrily and said, "Mom, you are so confused!" When Aunt Xue saw Baochai say this, she couldn't help but wonder: "But it's less?" I thought ......" Before Aunt Xue finished speaking, Baochai interrupted again: "Mom! My brother hasn't married yet! ”
Aunt Xue couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Baochai suddenly say this, and then smiled again: "How can I not know that your brother has not married yet?" Don't worry, I know this in my heart, don't worry. With that, Aunt Xue was going out again.
Baochai couldn't, so she had to get up and pull Aunt Xue back to sit down. Looking at Aunt Xue's eyes, Baochai bit her lip and thought for a long time before she whispered: "I know that my mother is doing this for me, and I blame my brother for not being angry." But has Mom thought about it? My aunt can be in charge of Jiafu, but it's just because the old lady is still there. ”
Seeing Aunt Xue looking at herself inexplicably, Xue Baochai said secretly: I just said it today, and the provincial mother didn't know that it was twisting and turning.
After thinking clearly, Xue Baochai looked at Aunt Xue and said very seriously: "The old lady is very affectionate to her aunt and uncle's family, and she also loves Baoyu in every way. But after all, this is not the Guogong Mansion! Now this is the General's Mansion, and when the old lady is gone, the aunt and uncle's family will be separated. And my uncle-in-law is now just a fifth-grade official. ”
After speaking, Baochai took a deep breath before continuing: "At that time, it will not be my aunt but Sister Feng who will be in charge of the house in this mansion. It will not be Baoyu who will attack the lord in the future, but the son of Sister Feng, or Jia Lian. ”
When Aunt Xue heard this, she also frowned, thought for a while, and said, "But there is your aunt's own girl in the palace, isn't it?" Your eldest sister Yuan is now a concubine, and she is about to save her relatives when she sees it. Will she not be able to pull her own brother in the future? ”
Baochai heard Aunt Xue say this, but her expression darkened by two points, and she bowed her head and said: "Let's not say whether Aunt is his master or not, just say that in this palace, we used to think about it." Where in the palace is Sister Yuan's master? ”
After speaking, Baochai raised her eyes and looked at Aunt Xue and continued: "Don't say anything else, does Mom know how many concubines there are in the palace?" Sister Yuan still has the queen on her head. There are also concubines who don't deal with it, such as Concubine Shuhui, who was also crowned a concubine, listening to her aunt, isn't it very bad to deal with Sister Yuan? ”
Aunt Xue lowered her head and thought about it before asking tentatively, "Hai'er is not allowed to hide it from her mother, but what does Baoyu dislike about you?" I look at him as smart and handsome, with my hairpin, that's the best thing. ”
was told by Aunt Xue, Baochai couldn't help blushing, covered her face and said, "What kind of nonsense is Mom!" You made fun of me? ”
Aunt Xue sighed, pulled Baochai's hand, held it in her palm and said, "You also know that Mom is doing this just for you." If you want to marry Baoyu in the future, your mother will naturally take care of everything for you now. ”
Baochai saw that Aunt Xue was very serious, and after thinking about it, she shook her head lightly and said, "Mom, look at Baoyu, if you leave this Jia Mansion, what else can you do?" They all say that he is smart, but they have never seen him seriously go to school for two days. said that he moved out of the inner house to the front and worked hard, but how long has it been? Why don't you come in and mess with the sisters again? ”
Hearing Xue Baochai say this, Aunt Xue sighed secretly in her heart: It turns out that my hairpin dislikes him and is not motivated! That's right, I have that Qingyunzhi when I beat my hairpin, but it's a pity that it's not a man's body, otherwise how would my Xue family ......
Thinking of this, Aunt Xue was feeling uncomfortable, so she heard Xue Baochai say in a mosquito-like voice: "When Yingchun was first married, that person was just a student, and his family background was not very good. But now, the spring festival also has a phoenix crown. With that, Baochai ran to his house with a red face.
Aunt Xue heard Baochai say such words, and couldn't help but be stunned for a long time before she figured it out, Baochai was talking about finding a promising student in the future!
With this thought, Aunt Xue naturally would not take out more than 100,000 taels of silver to please Mrs. Wang. Then he went into the inner room again, and when he came out again, there were only 40,000 taels of silver tickets stuffed in his sleeve. Go to Madame Wang's courtyard.
Mrs. Wang was naturally very dissatisfied with Aunt Xue's fact that she only took out 40,000 taels of silver, but she didn't show the slightest joke with Aunt Xue on her face. After only a few words, Mrs. Wang turned the topic to Xue Baochai.
Speaking of her baby daughter, Aunt Xue is naturally very proud. Even if I have said it many times, I will not feel that there is a lack of novelty.
Aunt Xue also talked about how smart and studious Xue Baochai was when she was a child, how sensible and well-behaved, and how Xue Baochai comforted herself and helped the family after Xue's father died unexpectedly.
Mrs. Wang naturally followed Aunt Xue's words and smiled: "I just think that Hai'er is a good one, but there is no one in our house who can compare to her." Hearing Mrs. Wang say this, Aunt Xue was even more smiling. Mrs. Wang took the opportunity to say: "Fortunately, she will help me take care of my family in the future, otherwise Shan Baoyu himself, I will not be at ease." ”
When Mrs. Wang said this, she originally wanted to remind Aunt Xue that Erbao's family affairs were still in her hands, but at this time, Aunt Xue was a little unsure of paying attention, so she only smiled and didn't talk. Everything Aunt Xue did, including taking out such a piece of silver, was just for Baochai's happiness in the future, but now, ......
When Aunt Xue came, in order to send the silver, since the silver had been delivered, thinking about Xue Baochai's words before, Aunt Xue didn't want to sit for a long time, so she smiled and said: "Hai'er went out today, maybe she was suffering from heat stroke, saying that she was a little uncomfortable, I have to go back to look at her, wait for her to get better another day, and then come to see my sister." ”
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Can you invite the doctor to come and take a look?" Why don't you take the post on the house and invite the doctor? Aunt Xue refused with a smile and left. Although Mrs. Wang was surprised, she didn't pay attention to it.
After going back, Aunt Xue took advantage of the fact that Xue Pan had not come back, so she talked to Xue Baochai about the previous topic again.
Aunt Xue didn't believe in the empty bag in Jiafu, just looking at the clothes of the people on weekdays, they were already extremely rich, and where could they see the dilapidated image? But for what Baochai said, Aunt Xue is concerned about the future separation of the family.
But the next night, Xue Pan, who always slept in flowers and willows, and didn't return at night, ran back in a hurry. Seeing the joy on his face, Aunt Xue couldn't help but laugh and said, "Is this picking up ingots?" How happy to be like this? ”
When Xue Pan heard this, he said disdainfully: "Our family still has to pick up ingots outside?" It's good if people don't follow your son to pick up ingots! ”
Seeing Xue Pan talking to Aunt Xue like this, Baochai asked very unhappily: "Then tell me, what happy things have you encountered?" Or have you done something 'good' out there? ”
Xue Pan smiled and shouted outside the door: "Go buy two good dishes for your master, and come back with two catties of good wine." ”
After speaking, Xue Pan pulled Aunt Xue to sit down on the chair, and said mysteriously: "Mom doesn't know, I happened to meet my brother-in-law today, and my brother-in-law ......" Before Xue Pan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Aunt Xue. I saw Aunt Xue glaring, reaching out and patting Xue Pan's arm and saying, "Your brother-in-law from there?" Even in the future, there is only one brother-in-law! ”
Xue Pan was a little stunned, and couldn't help asking: "That uncle Jia Lian's sister-in-law, isn't it my brother-in-law?" ”
When Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly asked, "What is he looking for you for?" But did you borrow money? Xue Pan happened to pick up a cup of tea and took a big sip, but at this time, he was choked by Aunt Xue's words, if he hadn't endured it, I was afraid that he would have to spray Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai. At this time, he couldn't stop coughing.
Seeing this, Aunt Xue snatched the teacup in his hand, patted him on the back, and scolded him lightly: "How old is it?" I can't even eat tea? Having said that, the worry in Aunt Xue's eyes couldn't help it.
Aunt Xue was about to call someone, but Xue Pan hurriedly stopped her and said, "Mom, don't be busy, come and sit down and listen to me." Saying that, Xue Pan pulled Aunt Xue to sit down again. (To be continued.) )
