In the main room of the east wing of Rongxi Hall, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue sat down on the kang respectively, Jin Chu'er and Caiyun served tea, brought a plate of snacks and fruits, and then retreated.

Mrs. Wang said: "Sister, this is the fruit sent by Lin Yatou before, they are all specialties of the south, taste fresh!" ”

Aunt Xue smiled, "I also got it before, and it was sent by the maid in front of the eldest girl." Pan'er likes to eat it, so she gave it to him. As he spoke, he also inserted a piece of a silver skewer into his mouth.

Mrs. Wang smiled faintly, "What's this, how can we lack these in our house, it's just that I can't bear to brush off Lin Yatou's kindness." ”

Aunt Xue nodded yes.

Mrs. Wang picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and said squarely: "What my sister invited, I have already mentioned it to Yuan'er, and I also let Lian'er go to socialize." It's just my sister, we are dear sisters, there is something I have to say, please don't blame me, sister. ”

Seeing this, Aunt Xue hurriedly sat up straight, "Sister just say it, sister listens to it." ”

Mrs. Wang suddenly wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "Everyone thinks that the palace is the most romantic and wealthy place in the world, and everyone sharpens their heads and drills into it!" Don't you know, that is also the most ruthless and unrighteous place in the world, my Yuan'er, now in that place, all year round, I can't even see a face, every time I think of it, my heart is like a knife. Fortunately, I still have Baoyu, he is a person with a background, and he can also support his sister in the future, if he is like Huan'er, he doesn't know how to grow, and he will only drag Yuan'er back! Then my Yuan'er really has no way to live! ”

Aunt Xue's heart moved, she understood what Mrs. Wang meant, and what her sister meant was that Pan'er was not angry, even if Baochai really entered the palace and was favored, but with an elder brother like Pan'er, sooner or later she would be implicated. When the time comes, it will be irretrievable. Moreover, although Aunt Xue has no opinions, she really loves her children, and she remembers that Yuan Chun has entered the palace until now, and she has no news at all, and she can't even see each other. Yuan Chun is still the eldest granddaughter of Rongguo Mansion, how does her Baochai identity compare with her. Yuanchun is like this, Baochai has entered the palace, and the situation may be even worse!

For a while, Aunt Xue was also a little shaken.

Mrs. Wang saw Aunt Xue's vacillation, and hurriedly said, "Sister, we are sisters, so I naturally won't harm you." I know my sister's thoughts, nothing more than thinking that my brother-in-law is gone, and Pan'er is an unsuccessful person, thinking that I want Baochai to fight, maybe I can go to the sky in one fell swoop. It's just that my sister has thought about it, among the favored concubines in history, which one of them does not have a family standing behind. But what does the Xue family have? For the sake of family property, the Xue family has already offended the clan, and without the support of the clan behind him, no matter how smart and beautiful Baochai is, how far can he go in the harem. My sister only has this one daughter, and she has always been heavier than her son, sister, are you willing to do it? ”

Aunt Xue sighed, yes, what my sister said is right!

Mrs. Wang made persistent efforts and threw out the last temptation, "How does my sister look at my Baoyu?" ”

Aunt Xue was in good spirits, Baoyu was naturally good, regardless of character, talent or identity, it was very good! What does my sister mean?

Mrs. Wang stared at Aunt Xue's eyes tightly, "If my sister is willing, let Baoyu marry Baochai!" In the future, Baochai will become the mistress of Rongguo Mansion, and when the time comes, the Xue family will be Baoyu's Yue's family, and will you still worry that no one will support and protect you? What does my sister think? ”

Aunt Xue is overjoyed, if this matter can really be done, not only Baochai will have a lifelong basis, but even the future of the Xue family will be guaranteed, Baochai has always been arrogant, and she can become the hostess of Rongguo Mansion, which is as she wants, this is a good thing with all four corners! It's just, "Sister, Dafang is the one who attacks the lord, how can Baoyu inherit Rongguo Mansion in the future?" ”

Mrs. Wang knew that if she didn't convince Aunt Xue today, it would be difficult to say it in the future, so she had to say her plan, "What if the big house is the person who attacked the lord, the person who lives in this Rongxi Hall now is our second room!" Jia Lian has nothing to do, he is idle, he can only help the second room run errands, and the big house has only one daughter so far, and there is no heir inheritance, and in the end, the title is not my Baoyu's! In addition, the old lady has always liked the eccentric second room and the eccentric Baoyu, otherwise it would be the Xing family who lives here! Sister, rest assured, this Rongguo Mansion will definitely be Baoyu in the future! Madame Wang's eyes shone brightly.

Aunt Xue felt a chill in her heart, yes, she should have thought of it a long time ago, with her sister's character, how could she watch the things in her hands fly out again! Thinking of what happened in Dafang over the years, Jia Hu died early, Zhang died after giving birth to Jia Lian, Jia Lian was raised to be a gentleman, and married Feng Yatou, Feng Yatou has been married for so long, and there is only one daughter under her knees. Maybe this kind of thing is inseparable from my sister's handwriting! What if I disobey my sister too?

Aunt Xue thought of this, and shivered all over, her sister is a concubine, and she is just a pseudo-concubine named in her mother's name, when she was in the Wang family in the past, although she and her sister were both concubines in name, the treatment was still different. Otherwise, how could my sister marry into the Guogong Mansion, but she married into the imperial merchant. Even the two older brothers are much better to their sisters than to themselves. Aunt Xue thought that if she chose in front of herself and her sister, her eldest brother would definitely choose her sister.

It's just that, thinking of this, Aunt Xue also shuddered, how good the second brother Wang Zisheng was to her sister when she was alive, just because she was young and ignorant, she snatched a pearl flower that her sister liked, and she was whipped by the second brother and lay on the bed for several days. But now, my sister is secretly harming the second brother's biological daughter for the sake of the title.

My sister's heart is really ruthless! If she doesn't do what she wants, will she treat me and Hai'er like she treats Feng Yatou?

Aunt Xue shuddered, didn't dare to think about it anymore, and hurriedly said, "I listen to my sister." ”

Mrs. Wang smiled with satisfaction, picked up the tea bowl and took another sip.

It's just that Aunt Xue still has a difficult face, and when Mrs. Wang saw it, she frowned and said, "Is there anything else that my sister is not worried about?" ”

"My sister also knows that my hairpin has been loved by her father the most since she was a child, and she should be upbringed more cautious than her brother. Therefore, she is also a little arrogant, this time she entered Beijing, she was originally for the small election, and wanted to become the princess's escort to the school, as a good job for talented people. If you sue her now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Hai'er to accept it for a while. Sister, I only have this one daughter, who has always been heavier than Pan'er, I really can't bear how you let me talk to her! Aunt Xue said embarrassedly.

Mrs. Wang smiled, "Sister, you are too weak." Talented people praise good people are just slaves who serve people, you say that Baochai is arrogant, and she was raised from a young age, how can she stand the humiliation of being a slave? Now that we have chosen a broad road for her, where would she disagree? If my sister is really worried, then simply don't tell her the truth, just say that her qualifications have been erased, isn't it? ”

Seeing that Aunt Xue was still in a dilemma, Mrs. Wang continued: "I'm not afraid that my sister will be strange to you, their children have little experience in the world, where do they know that the world is difficult and people's hearts are sinister!" It's not up to those of us as parents to guide and assist us. Our Yuanchun, when the old prince was alive, invited the grandmothers in the four palaces to raise him personally, but what was the result? Isn't it wasted in the palace now? I really can't bear to let Bao girl end up like Yuan Chun. Since there is a safe and smooth road to walk in front of you, why choose the rugged and bumpy muddy path? Sister, think about it carefully, isn't this the truth? ”

Aunt Xue was convinced, my sister was right, Yuanchun's conditions were better than Baochai's, and now she is not struggling in the palace, obviously there is a more comfortable and comfortable road, why choose that more difficult road.

"My sister is right. I listen to my sister. ”

"In this case, you don't tell the baby girl first, and in a few days, I will tell the baby girl in person that she lost the election. Then wait a few days, you talk to her about our arrangement, I think when the time comes, Bao Yatou will definitely figure it out, this is the most suitable and best arrangement! Mrs. Wang smiled with satisfaction. Sister, drink tea. ”

The two sisters picked up their teacups at the same time, looked at each other and smiled, drank all the tea in the cups, and reached an agreement.

Within a few days, word spread in Rongguo's mansion that the girl of the Xue family was known by the superiors because of the Xue family's son's beating to death, and she was deprived of the qualification for the small election. There was a lot of discussion among the people, but there was a dead silence in the Lixiang Courtyard.

Aunt Xue looked at Xue Baochai, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and wiped her tears helplessly, "My son, you cry!" It's also more comfortable to cry. ”

Xue Baochai closed his eyes tightly, refused to speak, and did not shed tears.

Aunt Xue was a little flustered, she knew that Bao Yatou would be sad and disappointed after losing the election, but she didn't expect it to be so strict, and in an instant, she regretted it a little. However, the matter has come to this point, the wood is done, and it is useless for her to regret it now. I had to cheer up and comfort the baby girl.

In the Yilan Courtyard, Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun also heard this, and Lin Daiyu sighed, "Alas! In fact, this is also a good thing, a good daughter's house, why go to such a place? What's so good about not seeing your parents for many years? The eldest sister has been in the palace for a few years, and there is no news at all, what's the fun! ”

Shi Xiangyun disagreed, "Sister Lin, people are different. My honey, his □□. ”

Lin Daiyu thought about it and did the same, "Hey, Sister Yun, do you think we want to go over to visit the Xue family girl?" ”

Shi Xiangyun shook his head, "At this time, I think she probably doesn't want to see anyone!" "After the news of the defeat came out, the Xue family had already released the news of Xue Baochai's illness.
