Chapter Thirty-Eight: Yu Xiang is still in defeat

Daiyu came to the completely destroyed nursery, she still clearly remembered the laughter of the children here at the beginning, and now there is no fresh life here except for some blood stains and the chaos of fighting, Qing'er's whereabouts worry her the most, but how to rescue Qing'er and Jia Yun's family from the dungeon of King Beijing, she has no idea for a while. She saw the peach blossoms falling, and spring was coming.

Baochai's life is very unpeaceful. First of all, Concubine Tong's death made her scared for her future, and she clearly knew that although only fifty-three people were killed in Jiangyin City, the process of being sent to the county government at that time was still vivid. Or those people died later, but she knew what was waiting for her once her identity was revealed, even if she was as favored as Concubine Yuan, she would not let her nephew and daughter-in-law live, and even cut down the grass and kill Qin Ye Qin Zhong.

The deaths of Qin Ye and Qin Zhong are already known all over the city, and everyone says that Qin Zhong was picked up by black and white impermanence. Because everyone clearly saw that Qin Zhong finally fell beside Black and White Impermanence, this story spread widely. Baochai knew that Qin Zhong was just the younger brother of Concubine Tong, and the Qing Dynasty emperor was still so worried about a concubine that the former Ming emperor refused to recognize.

Baochai has always said that she is sixteen years old, which is a virtual age, and there are three months before Baochai's fifteenth birthday, and when Baochai arrives at her real age, as a noble princess, she must first participate in the palace draft. The draft will be investigated through the guò place, and because she has already participated in a draft, she has been subjected to some special arrangements that will leave some special marks on her body, which if exposed, may kill her.

She woke up from a nightmare.

Aunt Xue is still worried, this kind of apprehension made her want to explain the truth to Mrs. Wang several times, but Baochai didn't allow it, she was patient, waiting, she even skillfully did a lot of things, such as pleasing Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, deliberately letting Baoyu see her golden lock, letting Ying'er and her subordinates spread rumors of Jinyu's good fate, and taking the initiative to associate with the attackers, she secretly made a needle, except that she couldn't explain to Baoyu that she did not hesitate to endure a lot of things in her personality. In this tension, the more calm her expression became, the more she couldn't figure out what kind of feelings she had for Baoyu. He may just be a lifesaver for her.

Love has long been cut off in her heart. She didn't even ask whether that person was alive or dead, and she hated someone who abandoned her.

She knows that there is only one chance by her side, because she wants to change people's perception that Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu are a natural pair, and she has been doing it quietly. She can't put herself in danger.

However, whether fate would arrange or what other chance, she herself could not tell. So when Jia Baoyu chased Sister Lin away, she was almost desperate, and her struggle suddenly had no place to fight. She panicked and went to the temple with her mother to find a lame Taoist priest. No one knew that the lame Taoist priest was actually her uncle.

Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang knew.

The lame Taoist priest felt that marrying into Jiafu was also a good way to hide his identity, he didn't know the entanglement between his apprentice Daiyu and Baoyu, he was just a person, not a god.

So he went to Jiafu and once again emphasized this golden and jade relationship.

Finally, when entering the first selection, Aunt Xue heard Mrs. Wang say that Jia Zheng was the person in charge of this draft.

This is also the reason why Baochai tried her best to let her mother live in Jiafu, she heard her uncle say that the last draft was presided over by Jia Zheng and her uncle, so she held such hopes that her uncle could draft for the emperor again. She had to get her uncle to choose herself. And Mrs. Wang's Jia Zheng always thought that this aunt and niece came over to let them help her choose. They saw that Baochai's talent and conduct were simply a model of a show girl, so when the original list was reported, Jia Zheng was the first to tick out Baochai's name. Took Daiyu's out.

This is also a little selfishness of Jia Zheng, in his heart, Daiyu should be the best choice for his daughter-in-law, not to mention that his relationship with Jia Min has always been the best among brothers and sisters, and he himself likes this niece who resembles his sister's talent.

The primary selection is only a selection of candidates from all over the country, including the qualifications of parents, height, birth, and what books they have read. Among them, the selection of parental qualifications is the most important. Because most of the Han officials who joined the Manqi were also hot figures in the former Ming Dynasty, as the niece of the most powerful prince Teng, Baochai's early death father gave her a good birth. And although Daiyu's father is not explicitly wanted now, it will actually be risky to be elected again.

Baochai understands that now is the time to not think of a way, because after the primary election, he will have to participate in the selection of the interview in about half a month, and if he does not escape before this, it is very likely that there will be problems, because in the palace of the Qing Dynasty, there are also many officials and eunuchs of the former Ming Dynasty.

Aunt Xue was really anxious when she heard Baochai's words, Baochai put aside the shyness of the girl, and repeatedly told her mother how to tell her aunt and uncle, she only hated herself for being a girl, and she couldn't say these things by herself.

Aunt Xue was puzzled, "My own sister, why don't you just say it." ”

Baochai said: "Mom is wrong, if you say it directly, it can work for a while, but in the future, my aunt will be a family plan, afraid of being implicated, I am afraid that she will not let us live here again, it doesn't matter if we can't live in it, and my mother is afraid that sisters will be difficult to do." You see that Mrs. Xing of Dongfu made her family poor because she got married, and when did she take care of her mother's sisters. What's more, even if it is your own sister, don't give it a handle. It's a life-threatening matter. ”

"I can't just say you're too risky. It's not a problem if she doesn't follow. ”

"At this time, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, that Baoyu is confused, Sister Lin has not come back yet, she just needs to pass some news out, Sister Lin's whereabouts are unknown, and everything is easy to do. I'm afraid that my brother will spread the news. My brother knows how powerful this matter is, and he only needs to talk to his uncle and aunt, and everything will be easy to do. ”

I've already asked Ying'er to go to the store to find my brother back.

After a while, Xue Pan really returned home, and smiled when he heard this: "Congratulations sister, it's the life of an imperial concubine." ”

"You're such a nerd, are you my brother or not."

Aunt Xue was so angry that she wanted to beat Xue Pan. "What do you know, the royal rules are big, eunuchs are all clean, men and women are the same, your sister was selected in the draft that year, and it is different from ordinary little girls. What's more, if some old courtiers and old eunuchs of the former Ming Dynasty recognize it, do you still want this head. ”

Xue Pan got serious. So I listened to what Baochai said. I heard that the whereabouts of the girl were unknown, and that the whereabouts of the girl Lin were unknown, and that the girl Lin was taken to the Hengwang Mansion by the King of Beijing. Qingwen Zijuan, they all know it.

Is there such a thing? Baochai was shocked.

"Baoyu is also there. When I asked Baoyu, I knew that Miss Lin ignored me and only talked to Baoyu alone. I'm so angry that Baoqin pulled me away. ”

"Don't talk about the rest of this." Baochai instructed. "As long as you don't talk nonsense, I promise you can let out this breath."

Xue Pan said seriously: "Good sister, you are a master, I only listen to you." ”

So the family discussed with Ying'er again.

Attacking people to see Baoyu come back this time, there was no previous spirituality between his demeanor, and he brought a strange four children and put them in a few girls outside, and the two of them were very affectionate. It turns out that Baoyu has forgotten about the attacker now, and because Qingwen is more familiar with it these days, she is closer to the attacker than to the attacker, and the attacker is uncomfortable in her heart. Hurriedly asked Qingwen what happened when she went out.

How could Qingwen say that she lived in Miss Lin's house in Suzhou for a few days, and because of the urging of Second Master Lian, she came back first. The fourth son is from Miss Lin's family. Said you want to go without asking Madame. The attacker said angrily: "When you go out like this, you forget everything." I forgot what Ming'er's surname was. ”

"You don't know him," Qingwen Gege said with a smile: "Even Miss Lin forgot about it, I don't know if it hit something, it's so stupid and ridiculous, I thought maybe Sister Hua had a good trick to fix him up." ”

"But I think he's been getting better lately, and I'm still talking a few words."

The attacker was angry, thinking that he was going home to visit his sick mother today, so he hurriedly brought the clothes that Mrs. Wang gave him, and dressed himself up slightly. I didn't want to be called by Sister Feng, so I sent a little girl to serve, and Sister Feng also gave her two mink clothes, knowing in my heart that this family had already regarded herself as a person in the second master's house, thinking that the one in the family was confused, how could this be good.

Attacking people back to their parents' house, Musk Yue accompanied Baoyu in the inner room, Qingwen nested in the outer bed, because Musk Moon got up at night, she was naughty and didn't wear clothes to scare her, to make herself cold, I didn't want the little girl to steal something and let Ping'er find out over there, Qingwen couldn't imagine that the little girl in her house was so uncompetitive, she stood up from the hospital bed and scolded her, so angry that she kicked her out, and her family came to lead people, but sarcastically said a few words to Qingwen.

Baoyu's grandmother gave a peacock fur on this day, but accidentally baked a hole during the fire, because Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang's baby clothes looked like something, and they didn't dare to tell them. Qingwen knew that he was afraid that Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang would ask tomorrow, so she insisted on holding it up and giving him a needle with a golden thread, and she couldn't see it as it was. Baoyu was worried about Qingwen in her heart, and she was not in the mood to come out with her mother on this day.

Usually, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, and the two sisters are together every day, or chatting with the old lady, or touching the old lady a few times, or talking to the two sisters. Baoyu always had to sit in front of the old lady or stay at Mrs. Wang's, which was very different from only messing around with the girls before. On this day, Mrs. Wang took him to Aunt Xue's place.

Aunt Xue asked Ying'er to take Baoyu to drink tea in the hall, and she and Mrs. Wang went into the inner room to talk. Mrs. Wang brought up the words of Jin Yu Liangyuan again.

Mrs. Wang laughed: "It's time to mention it, I don't think Baoyu's monkey cub has this blessing, the master said, the list of yesterday's draft was decided, and the first girl in the primary selection was decided." I'm afraid that our family will not just have a princess. ”

Aunt Xue is in a hurry now: "Absolutely not, she can't be the imperial concubine." ”

She almost forgot what Baochai said, but fortunately, Ying'er excused herself to pour tea and came out to remind her.

"Why is this, a person like Miss Bao can't be a princess, so who has done it."

Aunt Xue said: "It's not that it's bad for your family to have a princess, it's just that I only have this one daughter, and you have also seen my son, who is not as well-behaved as your family Baoyu, who will I rely on when I get old." ”

"Daughters always have to get married."

"Then it's better to marry closer, if you want to marry in that palace, how can you meet so easily. I was homesick and went. Look at how much silver is now paved in order to pick up the concubine and save her relatives. I'm a widow again, Pan'er hasn't married yet, only a Xiangling, or a kidnapper, I don't even know who my parents are, I rely on who to prepare such a big garden, to find which intimate purchase. ”

Mrs. Wang was very annoyed, and said, "I didn't mention this much before, one is afraid that the old lady will be unhappy, and she is naturally towards Miss Lin, how can I not be happy with this Miss Lin, but like my Baoyu is her alone." I think the kids are still young, maybe in two years things will change, and I will be able to call the shots. But the master's heart is now ironclad that it is Miss Nalin, and I will say it directly, but it will be difficult. ”

"But now I heard that Miss Nalin was actually taken to the mansion by King Beijing on the way." Aunt Xue said: "What Pan'er saw with her own eyes, Qingwen Zijuan in your house knows it." ”

"There is such a thing."

Madame Wang was angry and frightened, and she trembled with anger. Thinking that King Beijing has often asked people to ask about Daiyu's news recently, he saw that Xue Pan's words were true. I'm going to go back immediately.

Aunt Xue hurriedly held down: "What kind of anger is this, she is not your daughter-in-law yet." Now I don't think I should talk to the master about this, I don't want to be angry with him."

Na Baoyu heard her mother screaming at herself outside, and hurriedly stood up.
