On this day, the sun is very gentle on the earth, and even the wind is gentle. Far away, a team of chariots and horses headed towards the capital. Passing through the post station, I heard that the prince had ascended to the control of the nine provinces, and he was ordered to go out of the capital to check the border.

A young man in brocade in the convoy grinned. I secretly rejoiced in my heart: I am worried that I will go to Beijing to have a maternal uncle in charge, and I can't squander it at will.

This person must have guessed that this son is Xue Pan, the famous overlord of the Xue family in Jinling. Because Daiyu rescued Yinglian in advance, the journey went smoothly, and there was no incident in which Xue Pan killed Feng Gongzi.

This time, Xue Pan went to Beijing and said that Mrs. Xue was very beautiful, one was to send his sister Baochai to participate in the election, the second was to visit relatives, and the third was that several businesses in Kyoto were gradually consumed, so they had to be checked in person. There is also the intention of going to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to settle the old accounts and then calculate the new expenses. - In fact, Xue Pan's house is the most prosperous place in the capital because he has heard of it, and he often thinks about it, and his father is still in the past, and he can't be the master. Now it's just an opportunity to visit the scenery of Shangguo.

Therefore, he had already arranged the fine and soft clothes of the line, as well as the gifts of relatives and friends, and other things, and together with more than a dozen family nursing homes, he escorted Mrs. Xue and Baochai to the capital slowly.

Dressed in a water blue arrow sleeve shirt, a pair of pearl silver belts, tied with eight treasures of silver to wipe his forehead, and pedaling deerskin cloud boots, although his face was white and his lips were red, he looked a little silly. Isn't this who Xue Pan is? I saw him riding a Dawan BMW and following a Lanni top jujube wood carriage, the carriage was hung with a curtain full of embroidered golden ruyi patterns, and it looked very luxurious. Needless to say, in the car sat Xue Pan's mother, Wang Ziteng and Mrs. Xue, the sister of Mrs. Wang, the second wife of the Jia family.

Xue Pan thought about the news he had just heard. He tilted his head sideways and leaned closer to the carriage to discuss with Mrs. Xue: "Although we have a few houses in Beijing, no one has lived in Beijing for more than ten years. The guards were inevitably secretly renting with people, and they had to take a few people to clean up first. ”

Who knew that the voice just fell. Mrs. Xue replied in the carriage: "Why be so ostentatious! When we entered Beijing, we should have visited relatives and friends first, either at your uncle's house or your aunt's house. The houses of his two families are extremely cheap, so let's live in them first, and then slowly let people clean up, why don't we stop a little. ”

Xue Pan was a little disappointed when he heard this, and thought about the news that the prince had vacated the capital, so he said: "Now that my uncle is going to the province, the family is naturally busy. We've been running away one by one, aren't we blind? ”

Mrs. Xue didn't know about this before, but when she heard this, she asked, "Can you really hear it?" Xue Pan thought proudly in his heart, now he should agree to let me pack up the house and live alone, right? Then he said, "I really heard it." ”

Who knew that although his mother, Mrs. Xue, smiled and said yes, she continued: "Although your uncle's family has been promoted, there is still your uncle's family." In the past few years, your uncle and aunt have always brought letters and books to pick us up. After speaking, he lifted a corner of the curtain and glanced at Xue Pan.

And then he said, "Now it has come." Although your uncle is busy getting up, your aunt of the Jia family may not be reluctant to keep us. Wouldn't it be strange for us to hurry up and pack up our houses? Xue Pan listened to the boss's reluctance, but still wanted to distinguish a few words.

I heard Mrs. Xue say very softly: "I know what you mean." Guarding your uncle and aunt will inevitably restrain you, so it is better for you to live separately. Do whatever you want. After speaking, he glanced at Xue Pan again, obviously a little moved.

Mrs. Xue also ignored Xue Pan's expression and continued: "You are like this. You go and choose your own house to live in, me and your aunt. Sisters have been saying goodbye for a few years, but they have to stay together for a few days, I took your sister to your aunt's house, are you okay? ”

I didn't think anything about it before, but this was a bit heavy, and Xue Pan couldn't help it, so he had to tell the coachman: "Get it, go all the way to Rongguo Mansion." ”

A person on the side of the road heard it and said, "What Rongguo Mansion is there now?" The year before last, it was taken off the plaque and renamed the first-class general's mansion! ”

Mrs. Xue was surprised when she heard this, so she asked Xue Pan to inquire quickly. That man is only a man of the market, and how well does he know that? So along the way, Mrs. Xue added a little more to her heart.

But he said that since he received a letter from Mrs. Xue saying that she wanted to go to Beijing, the second wife was worried about it, and she was chattering with Zhou Rui's family about this day this day, so she heard Caixia outside the door report: "My aunt brought my brother and sister, and the family entered Beijing with her family, and she was getting off outside the door." ”

For a while, the second wife, Mrs. Wang, was busy taking Tanchun, cherishing the spring, daughter-in-law Li Zhi and baby son Jia Baoyu out of the hall together, and went to Eryi Gate to pick up Mrs. Xue and others. Of course, Xue Pan went to the front yard to see Jia Zheng and did not come in.

Why aren't you there? Since Yingchun was recorded in the name of the eldest wife, Mrs. Xing, she was taken to Mrs. Xing of the East Cross Courtyard. Now at this time, can you still remember to inform them?

Now that the sisters are meeting in their twilight years, it is needless to say that they have mixed joys and sorrows, and they have a laugh and a laugh. The second wife was busy and led Mrs. Xue and Baochai to meet Jia's mother. As soon as she arrived at Mrs. Jia's room, Mrs. Xue was busy offering all kinds of gifts and gifts. It's all exquisite.

Seeing this, the second wife naturally felt that there was light on her face and her eyes were full of pride. Mrs. Jia didn't want to worry about her at this time, so she turned her head to look away and didn't see it.

Old Mrs. Jia turned her head, and just saw Baoyu looking at Xue Baochai stupidly, and Old Mrs. Jia frowned. I also looked back at Baochai carefully.

I saw that he was indeed born with smooth muscles and bones, and his demeanor was elegant. The lips are red without dotting, the eyebrows are green without painting, the face is like a silver basin, and the eyes are like apricots. Wearing a half-new rose and purple two-color gold and silver mouse shoulder gown, which is only lined with a green and yellow silk sprinkle skirt, but she is a beautiful woman with a peugeot and elegant style. It's no wonder that Baoyu is guilty of that dementia.

I wonder how beautiful my granddaughter is? Min'er's appearance doesn't need to be mentioned, and Mrs. Xue can't catch up with two streets, even if her father is also a Tanhualang of the Holy Family. Not only is the literary talent outstanding, but the spirit is also extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Old Lady Jia looked at Xue Baochai's eyes and calmed down a lot. I just want to wait for my granddaughter to come to Beijing, and no one will be able to hook Baoyu's soul anymore!

For a while, I thought that I had to divert Baoyu's mind first, otherwise I would not only lose the dignity of Guogong's grandson. After a long time, I am afraid that Lin Ruhai will not be able to speak in the future. See the spring and cherish the spring. asked Baoyu: "Baoyu can see your second sister?" Why can't you come, you can go and see. ”

Although Baoyu was a little reluctant to leave. But he listened to Jia's mother's words, so he still went east across the courtyard. Who knew that I had just arrived in the yard. I saw Yingchun holding the hand of Mrs. Xing and walking in.

Mrs. Xing is different from the past, with a red background full of embroidered golden orchid cardigans, double-back trims, and an olive-colored flower-sprinkled Ruyi skirt below. looked fair and ruddy, and the phoenix tail golden step on her head shook so that the second wife frowned.

In previous years, the Sanchun sisters were all dressed the same way, and now although the spring and the cherished spring are still the same, the spring is different now.

Foundation in gold silk, wide-brimmed embroidered hibiscus narrow-sleeved kaftan With an embroidered butterfly silk skirt. On his head, he only wore a beaded flower given by Daiyu in previous years, and there was nothing else.

Mrs. Xing turned a blind eye to the second wife's frowning, but when she looked up, she found that Mrs. Jia was also frowning, and when she looked down, she guessed that it was because she was wearing it for the Spring Festival. I don't want to be really guessed by her, of course, it's not hard to guess.

I saw that the eldest lady, Mrs. Xing, also ignored others, entered the door and went straight to Mrs. Jia, and when she got up after the salute, she said to Mrs. Jia with a smile: "I just heard that another guest is coming, and Tete found the new clothes given by her aunt to put on." How about the old lady looking at it? ”

After speaking, she looked at Mrs. Jia with joy, and when Jia's mother heard that it was sent by her Min'er when she was alive, she wanted to have a few girls, but she didn't see it. I was a little unhappy with Mrs. Wang in my heart, but I didn't say anything, just looked at Yingchun and said, "Where is your golden phoenix?" What about collars? The sisters all wore it. What don't you wear like? ”

After Mrs. Jia finished speaking, she glanced at Mrs. Xing, but Mrs. Xing lowered her head with a face full of grievances and said, "We are nothing." It's just that the girl still has filial piety on her body, how can she wear those gold and silver. ”

Speaking of which, he looked up at Mrs. Jia. continued: "This pearl flower was also sent by her sister Lin the year before last, and the daughter-in-law looked very good, although the particles are not big, they are not valuable, but they are full and round, which shows that they were carefully selected." I'm afraid it's a pity to be yellow......"

Mrs. Jia didn't react at first, but when she listened to Mrs. Xing for a while, "her aunt" and "her sister Lin" for a while, didn't she slap the second wife in the face in front of her?

It's a pity that "her aunt" was born to Mrs. Jia, and that "her sister Lin" is also Mrs. Jia's own granddaughter. At this time, Mrs. Jia not only did not say that Mrs. Xing was wrong, but sighed there that her life was miserable, and her granddaughter was pitiful.

For a while, Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xue didn't know what to say. Or Baoyu said at this time: "Wouldn't it be good for the old lady to bring Sister Lin here?" Although he didn't have the love of his aunt, being able to get the love of the old lady was also a blessing from his previous life. ”

When Mrs. Jia heard this, Fang Yi hugged Baoyu and said with a smile: "What Baoyu said is very true, only now your sister Lin wants to eat and keep filial piety for her mother." But it can't come for a while. Seeing this, Baoyu just nodded and said, "Then take it again when you are filial." ”

These words made Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Xing both smile, only Mrs. Wang lowered her head to sip tea, and no one saw the unhappiness in her eyes, and it took a while to clean up the look in her eyes before raising her head. Although Mrs. Jia didn't see the look in her eyes, she also guessed, and sneered in her heart.

In the past, Mrs. Jia was very dissatisfied with this eldest daughter-in-law. Looking at it now, I feel that I know more etiquette than the second daughter-in-law from the Wang family. Look at the golden phoenix and pearl hairpin on the head of Tanchun, and then look at the golden phoenix and pearl hairpin on the head of Xichun.

Mrs. Jia only felt uncomfortable in her heart, and no one remembered her Min'er, but in the end, the Xue family was a guest, so it was difficult to say anything. Now looking at the few snow-white beads on Yingchun's head, Mrs. Jia feels very eye-catching.

Mrs. Jia felt that this time she was looking at Yingchun, so she smiled and said: "Look, I forgot, I saw that Yingya was wearing beaded flowers on her head, which is good and elegant!" I also have two sets of pearl heads, so I will give her one. ”

No one expected Mrs. Jia to say this, and then she heard Mrs. Jia say to the mandarin duck: "You go and take out the two sets of pearl heads that Min'er honored me in the past, one for the welcome girl, and the other for the girl Xue, which is a meeting gift from the old woman." ”

Yingchun only squatted lightly at Mrs. Jia when she heard this, and said, "Thank you for the ancestor's reward." Baochai also walked out immediately, stood in front of Mrs. Jia, squatted down with a smile and saluted: "Thank you for the ancestor's reward." ”

Baochai got something, and Tanchun didn't think much about it. But she didn't have it when she got the spring, and it was not a taste in her heart. I couldn't help but turn my head and look at Xichun, but unfortunately Spring was still as usual, and there was no face. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: Xichun is also Miss Lifu in the east after all, and Yingchun is now also recorded in the name of the eldest lady, but I don't know what to do.

This spring Xie ancestors, and Baochai Xie ancestors. Mrs. Jia was different in her heart, although she was disdainful in her heart, she couldn't say anything, she just said: "Hurry up, hurry up, it's not a good thing, but this bead, it's good to wear it at your age." ”

As soon as the two of them got up, a maid came to report: "Old lady, the old man said: My aunt has a spring and autumn season, and my nephew is young and doesn't know the way of the world, and I am afraid that someone will have something to do if I live outside." In the northeast corner of our house, there are more than a dozen rooms in Lixiangyuan, which are free and cleaned, and my aunt and sister live very well. ”

Mrs. Jia thought that it was the place where Rong Gong was in his twilight years, and although the second wife said it when she returned that day, she should also do it. But in the end, I didn't like it in my heart, but I didn't want to dismiss my youngest son's face in public, so I slapped myself in the face, so I raised my eyes and looked at the second wife, Mrs. Wang! The second wife was already overjoyed at this time, where could she take care of anything else?

Seeing that Mrs. Wang didn't pay attention to herself, Mrs. Jia endured it with a little anger in her heart, turned her head and said to Mrs. Xue: "Please Mrs. Aunt stay here, everyone be intimate." The tone was flat, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction during it, but Mrs. Xue just didn't know. Then he smiled and said: "It is a common practice to exempt all daily expenses." ”

Mrs. Xue can't, although she loves this only son Xue Pan so much, she also knows his temperament. If you live with him, you can keep some of your sons in check, and if you live outside, you are afraid that he will cause trouble. Mrs. Wang also knew that his family was not difficult to do this, so she also obeyed her wishes.

Mrs. Jia was unhappy and didn't leave a meal, so she only said: "Your sister hasn't seen her for many years, I think I have some considerate words, and I won't keep you. ”

Mrs. Wang didn't want to stay here for a long time, so as soon as she heard this, she immediately got up and said goodbye, and took Aunt Xue and a few people to retreat. Tanchun also followed, and Xichun didn't know what to do when he saw this.

I heard Yingchun say: "Aren't the ancestors lonely when they are gone?" Why don't I and Sister Xichun accompany our ancestors here?" Mrs. Xing thought about it and smiled: "It should be like this, just don't quarrel with the old lady." Mrs. Jia was somewhat satisfied with Mrs. Xing at this time, so she smiled and nodded, "Then stay." ”

Aunt Xue's family followed Mrs. Wang back to Rongxi Hall for dinner, and then went to Lixiangyuan. I saw that it was small and compact, with about ten houses, and the front hall and back were complete. There is also a door to the street, and it is very convenient to go back to this door.

There is a corner door in the southwest, which leads to a sandwich road, and the sandwich road is the east side of Mrs. Wang's main house. Or after dinner, or in the evening, it is very cheap for Aunt Xue to come over or talk to Mrs. Wang, or to chat with Mother Jia. Bao Chai is also good to be with her sisters, or read books and play chess, or make needles.

Since then, the mother and son of the Xue family have lived in Lixiangyuan. Only Baoyu **** went to Aunt Xue's house because she saw Baochai, or to play with Baochai, or to beg Aunt Xue for food. The time spent in Lixiangyuan was comparable to that of Mrs. Jia's house. (To be continued.) )
