figured out that it was Jia Zheng and Ning Guofu who were about to be unlucky, and the look in Aunt Xue's eyes dimmed by three points.

He muttered in a low voice, "Why isn't that dead girl." ”

The panicked Xue Baochai hurriedly stopped: "Mom, be careful." Pitchers have ears. ”

As he spoke, he stood up, looked left and right by the window, pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and after confirming that there was no one outside, Xue Baochai sat down again.

Xue Baochai said to Aunt Xue: "Mom, I know that you are still sad about your uncle's affairs, but you can't complain about the second sister for this matter......

Aunt Xue couldn't hear this the most: "What are you talking about?" That's your own uncle! ”

For the sake of Wang Ziteng's matter, the mother and daughter don't know how many times they have argued behind their backs, Aunt Xue obviously can't let go of this matter, but in Xue Baochai's opinion, now their Xue family lives in other people's homes and is blessed by others. In such a situation, speaking ill of the host's girl will offend the Jia family. If the other party knows about it and kicks them out, their Xue family will face an even greater crisis.

Moreover, their mother and daughter have argued so many times, of course Xue Baochai knows what her mother will say next.

I only heard Xue Baochai say: "Mom, where are you talking!" How did I not know that my uncle was so kind to our family? How did I not know that our family could not be taken care of without my uncle? It's just that I really can't complain about the second sister about this. Mom, have you forgotten the four words "Gong Gao Zhen Lord"? Why did the marquis in this mansion immediately thank the guests, shut himself up, play antiques at home every day, and did not go to court. Even if you have to go to the Great Dynasty, you will come back right away? And not because of these four words! Uncle is just because he is too good and public, so he will be taboo from above. If the uncle is also the same as the Hou Ye in the house. Knowing that Taoguang is obscure, and knowing that he is resting with people, where will my uncle be afraid of people to ...... here"

Her lines were snatched by her daughter, and Aunt Xue was really stunned, and she couldn't find words for a long time. He was very upset and said, "Here you are again." That big man didn't dare to go out, because he didn't have the ability! What's more, his credit is not his own. Besides, if it weren't for that second girl, your uncle wouldn't have ......."

Xue Baochai shook his head and said, "No matter what." There are so many guards, and only the one where the Hou Ye is located has persisted under the iron hooves of the Di people. Whatever the reason, even if it's luck. It is also a real achievement. As for the uncle's matter, even if it is not the second sister, there will be others. Mom, have you forgotten the Shi family who had a discord with our family and jumped out to suppress my uncle at the first time? There are also those who look at their uncles unpleasantly and stare at their uncle's position. And the people above who felt that their uncle would threaten them...... If it weren't for someone pushing the hand in the back. The second sister is a child, who will believe him? Also, what my aunt did was too flamboyant at the beginning, and she actually harmed the leading wife in this house, she was the daughter of the Zhang family, how favored the Zhang family was, who in this capital didn't know? I can't hide my aunt's things from anyone. ”

"But ......"

Xue Baochai said: "Mom, aunt's business." Whoever changes is a big taboo. Sooner or later, this kind of thing will be poked out. Even if there is no second sister. will also be pulled out by the Zhang family. I'm afraid that my uncle will also be implicated at that time, and if the Zhang family takes action, I'm afraid that things will become more and more strict. It's okay now, my uncle can finally take his family back to Nanning. ”

Xue Baochai has already said these words in Aunt Xue's ear, I don't know how many times, and Aunt Xue has more or less listened to them. He also knows what the tail is that can't be dropped, and he also knows what it means to push the wall down. If it was really someone else's move, those people would definitely not let the Wang family and the prince have a chance to turn over. I'm afraid that in the first time, Wang Ziteng will be completely planted, and even the entire Wang family will die without a place to be buried, not like now, the Wang family was just raided.

Moreover, he gave his brother 50,000 taels of silver, and I heard that Jia Jiu also sent some silver, with this silver, my brother and sister-in-law and nephew can live comfortably even if they can't live a rich and expensive life. Anyway, there is always a breath of anger in this heart, and it can't be eliminated.

Hearing her daughter say this, Aunt Xue's waist softened by three points.

I was silent for a while before I heard Aunt Xue say, "But I'm so unwilling." If your uncle is here, you are also an official lady, where can you be bullied so much by that cloud girl? I think you are also pampered at home, and you have never suffered any grievances, this year, that cloud girl, not only secretly belittled you, but even the two in the Huansha Pavilion, even if they themselves did not say anything, they hit the girl brought by the south, there is nothing in front of people, but the queen is also very unkind to you. The thought of this makes my heart feel uncomfortable. ”

Xue Baochai grabbed his mother's hand, shook his head slightly, and said, "Mom, this is fate." The daughter is destined to go this way. ”

Aunt Xue sighed and said, "Blame me too." If I hadn't married into the Xue family, you wouldn't have become the daughter of a merchant family. My child, with your appearance and character, where can you not be a nobleman? Your big sister can't compare to you, but because he is a girl from this house, your uncle would rather hold him than ...... you."

Xue Baochai couldn't hear Aunt Xue carrying the Wang family and pressing their Xue family, no matter what, Xue Baochai's surname was Xue and not Wang.

Obviously, Aunt Xue didn't know her daughter well enough. Xue Baochai is not like Xue Pan, her heart is pure enough, and she is not like Aunt Xue, who has deep enough feelings for the Wang family. In Xue Baochai's view, the relationship between their Xue family and the Wang family is equivalent to the relationship between customers and merchants, indeed, the Wang family is his uncle's family, but before Aunt Xue married into the Wang family, the Xue family did not give the Wang family less money; After Aunt Xue married into the Xue family, she gave gifts to her parents' family and her sister's house in large sums of money, and those gifts were all real money and money.

In Aunt Xue's opinion, the Wang family is willing to help their mother and son, and that is because the Wang family is his maiden family. But in Xue Baochai's opinion, the Wang family did help them with a lot of things for the Xue family, but it was not because the two families were in-laws, nor because the relationship between the two families was good. It was because their Xue family paid the money, and it took a lot of money to get the care of the Wang family. So, Xue Baochai. The feelings for the Wang family are much lighter and much colder.

The most obvious thing is that when the prince vacated the accident, Xue Pan disregarded the taboo and went to see off the prince, the prince Teng went south for more than a year, Aunt Xue was frightened and silent at the beginning, but now she often mentions the good of this brother, last year's New Year. specially prepared a few gifts for the Wang family in Jinling.

In contrast, Xue Baochai was much more indifferent. Xue Baochai's biggest feeling about the Wang family at the moment is that their Xue family invested so much silver in the Wang family, and half of it was spent in vain.

Regarding Wang Ziteng's house raid and dismissal. Aunt Xue gritted her teeth as soon as she thought about it, and when she mentioned Jia Jiu behind her back, the root of her teeth was also itchy. In front of Mother Jia, Aunt Xue was always polite. But when you go back to your own yard, when there are only your own people in front of you. Aunt Xue always refers to Jia Jiu by the dead girl or that person.

But Xue Baochai was respectful to Jia Jiu from beginning to end.

In Xue Baochai's opinion, Jia Jiu is very favored by the above, Princess Changle can't do without him, the emperor has a good impression of him, and he is on the list of the general election, and he will be a noble lady in the future. When the time comes, if he is willing to say a word for their Xue family, he will naturally have countless benefits. Rather than waiting for the other party to develop in the future, then go to catch the hot stove. It's better to have a good relationship with the other party now.

In short, in a word: Jia Jiu can bring benefits to him and benefits to him. And the Wang family has lost its value, so even if the Wang family is Xue Baochai's uncle's family, Xue Baochai will put aside the affairs of the Wang family and concentrate on managing the relationship between him and Jia Jiu.

Xue Baochai is an extremely rational person, and his rational way of thinking has even abandoned the emotions that ordinary people have, to the point of making people feel scared.

I have to say that this is also the most helpless place for Xue Baochai. His elder brother Xue Pan is too naïve, although he is not bad-hearted, but he is as ignorant as Jia Baoyu, so that Xue Baochai is willing to hand over his back to him at ease, but he is also deeply troubled by his ability to break into trouble. His mother, Aunt Xue, always stays in the inner house, and her ears are soft, she can't discipline her son, and she can't afford to be a family.

may be such a family that has created this extremely rational Xue Baochai; is such a family, which also limits Xue Baochai's horizons.

The family's dependence and trust in him moved Xue Baochai and was deeply saddened at the same time. He can't change his brother, he can't make his brother mature; He can't change his mother, and he can't make his mother as rational as his father. The only thing Xue Baochai can do is to change himself, make himself mature, mature enough to be able to take on their Xue family.

Seeing that his mother muttered a few words in front of him as usual, he once again suppressed the grievances and grievances between Jia Jiu and the Wang family in his heart, and after reverting to the appearance of the kind lady, Xue Baochai began to think about it again.

What to do next.

Xue Baochai has never given up on his Qingyunzhi. His family and the education he received left a deep imprint on Xue Baochai's heart: if the Xue family wants to change their status, either Xue Pan will be admitted to the imperial examination, and the Xue family will change their court; Either he Xue Baochai soared and brought glory and wealth to his family. Xue Baochai also knows very well that the first condition, his brother Xue Pan does not have the ability to do this. Therefore, the Xue family can only rely on him Xue Baochai.

This idea was instilled in the heart of the young Xue Baochai by Xue Baochai's family, and Xue Baochai never suspected that there was anything wrong with this idea. When he was very young, he swore in his father's arms that he would seize an opportunity, and as long as he could bring new hope to the Xue family, he would be willing to do something.

As long as it is for the Xue family, even if it is begging Jia Jiu and spending a large sum of money, as long as he can enter the harem, Xue Baochai doesn't mind at all.

Xue Baochai firmly believes that income is directly proportional to investment.

If it is said that among the three members of the Xue family, it is natural that Xue Baochai will be the one who wants Jia Jiu to enter the palace the most. In his opinion, Jia Jiu is still young, and even if he enters the palace, it is impossible to sleep immediately, so Jia Jiu will inevitably need someone to fix his favor. He is in his prime, and he has lived in the Jia family for so long, and he deserves to have the mark of the Jia family on his body, and compared to others, he is naturally Jia Jiu's ally.

Yes, in front of this Qingyun Road, Xue Baochai didn't mind Jia Jiu treating himself as a tool. As long as the final result is favorable to their Xue family.

For Xue Baochai, the most important thing now is the most important thing. It's not that I'm worried about how badly Jia Jiu hurt his uncle Wang Ziteng, or how depressed Wang Ziteng is now, the most important thing for Xue Baochai now is. He must figure out whether Jia Jiu will enter the palace in this election, and what his position will be after entering the palace.

In Xue Baochai's opinion, the possibility of Jia Jiu entering the palace is very high. Although Jia Jiu is still young, she can't be separated from Princess Changle. Judging from the news he got in private, Princess Changle couldn't sleep without Jia Jiu because of the rules and etiquette. Princess Changle can only often announce Jia Jiu to the court, and when Jia Jiu is not in the palace, Princess Changle often wakes up from her dreams in the middle of the night. It is a person who sits alone until dawn.

In Xue Baochai's opinion, as long as the current long live is enough to feel sorry for Princess Changle, then after Jia Jiu is included in the harem, he will be given a higher position. Put Princess Changle under Jia Jiu's name. That's in line with the rules. In this way, Princess Changle will no longer be bothered by insomnia, and Jia Jiu will be able to get a high position as soon as she enters the palace, which is also beneficial to herself.

Princess Changle's biological mother was a concubine before her death, if you want to put Princess Changle next to Jia Jiu, who has just entered the palace, then Jia Jiu's position cannot be lower than that of the concubine. If you change to someone else, this possibility will not be very large. But with Jia Jiu, this possibility is not impossible.

Because Jia Jiu is not just Jia Yu's daughter. Or the Daoist candidate of the Daomen. Whether it is the merits of Jia Lian's father and son, or the strength of Daomen, they are Jia Jiu's bargaining chips.

Xue Baochai firmly believes that the forces behind Jia Jiu will become the reason why the emperor cannot snub him. Of course, this will also cause a rift between the emperor and Jia Jiu. The emperor can't snub Jia Jiu, but a king wants a harem to balance the forces of the previous dynasty, which is undoubtedly a humiliation for the king. And his own humble background is just able to take advantage of the void.

However, the most important thing now is that he must figure out whether Jia Jiu will enter the palace this time and which palace he will be settled in. Only by figuring this out first can he arrange it.

Thinking like this, Xue Baochai called Ying'er and instructed: "You go and tell my brother and ask him to go to Xia Shouzhong's father-in-law's private house." So he commanded.

When Ying'er went out, Xue Baochai ignored the presence of her mother Aunt Xue, turned down the kang at the moment, took out the account book in the cabinet, and read it carefully page by page.

Aunt Xue said curiously: "Bao girl, what are you doing?" ”

Xue Baochai to the end: "Naturally, I want to find two novel and useful things for my second sister." Not only the second sister, but also the two in the Huansha Pavilion. ”

Aunt Xue said, "You! Have you forgotten about your uncle? Even if you pile up mountains of gold and silver in front of others, people will not believe that you have nothing to do with your uncle's affairs! ”

Xue Baochai raised his head, looked at Aunt Xue, and said, "Mom, my father has already said this when he was alive, my brother is a bad person, and if our Xue family wants to maintain it, we can only rely on us." Marry my brother a virtuous and capable daughter-in-law, guard this family business, and then I will enter the palace to win wealth for the family. This was set when my father was alive. We have been in Beijing for so many years, and it was easy to get such an opportunity with the strength of our second sister. Although I didn't enter the final selection last time, this time my name was on the list of small elections, and it was also thanks to the second sister. Seeing that the election is about to start, we should also express that we should also make people feel that we have a beginning and an end. ”

As for other people's opinions, Xue Baochai didn't care at all. He is most concerned about his own entry into the palace now. As long as you enter the palace, then it's easy to say. If you can't enter the palace, then think about whether to please those who are destined to have nothing to do with the palace and those who are destined to have no good end in the palace.

Aunt Xue sighed and said, "If your uncle is here, you won't be ......."

Xue Baochai couldn't listen to such words the most. When is this, Aunt Xue also mentioned her brother Wang Ziteng, and she didn't want to think about how Wang Ziteng chose Jia Yuanchun between Jia Yuanchun and him Xue Baochai and gave up on him. Xue Baochai felt that if this matter was handed over to Wang Ziteng, Wang Ziteng might still choose Jia Yuanchun, and at that time, he might only be able to marry Jia Baoyu under the arrangement of these relatives.

What kind of character is Jia Baoyu, Xue Baochai will not know?

People say that three years old is big and seven years old is old. Jia Baoyu is twelve years old this year, a twelve-year-old boy, he doesn't go to school, he doesn't go to school, he plays with the little girls at home every day, he plays rouge with the little girls, and he is a little girl, and the books on the bookshelf are covered with a thick layer of dust.

How can Xue Baochai look at such a boy?

Xue Baochai herself is a very motivated, strict with herself, and a girl who strives for the top, what he likes is naturally people like him, if he can't be motivated with him, then, even if he is born rich and noble, and does not like fame and fortune, people should know what is good or bad, not with Jia Baoyu who has no ability and no ability, and can only hum and chirp in the inner house.

At the beginning, the rumors that released the golden and jade good relationship were indeed Xue Baochai's meaning, and Xue Baochai did not deny that. However, at that time, he was not happy about the marriage itself, but because he was recognized by the Jia family. At that time, he also regarded Jia Baoyu as Jia's mother's heart and soul and the heir of Rongguofu.

But now, he understood.

Even when the Rongguo Mansion was not divided, the serious lord of the Rongguo Mansion was not his aunt Jia Zheng, but the eldest man who was described by his own aunt as extremely unbearable; After this eldest man is gone, Rongguo Mansion will also belong to his eldest son Jia Lian, and it has nothing to do with Jia Baoyu at all. And Jia Baoyu's piece of jade is a big trouble at all, he has no other way out than to marry a wife with a rich dowry and then eat soft rice for a lifetime.

For a self-motivated and loss-minded girl like Xue Baochai, where would he want such a fiancé? Therefore, after the initial vanity, Xue Baochai felt more and more bored about this marriage.

When he found out that Jia's mother didn't approve of this marriage and treated him as a spare tire, Xue Baochai's heart became more and more disgusted with this golden and jade relationship. Seeing Shi Xiangyun's concern for Jia Baoyu again, and seeing Jia Baoyu sticking to Shi Xiangyun every day, Xue Baochai's evaluation of Jia Baoyu dropped to the lowest point.

If Jia Baoyu is the son of this Rongguo Hou Mansion, or the next owner of this Rong Guo Hou Mansion, if he marries Jia Baoyu, the one who helps his own maiden family can let the Xue family get the signboard of the imperial merchant again, then, even if Jia Baoyu himself is not so successful, then Xue Baochai will grit his teeth and endure it.

However, Jia Baoyu is a dou who can't be helped, and Jia Zheng's side is almost finished. At this time, an olive branch was handed over outside, and at the end of the olive branch, the palace wall was beckoning to Xue Baochai, why didn't Xue Baochai choose to seize this road to heaven, but chose Jia Baoyu, a burden?

You must know that entering that palace wall is not only his goal since he was a child, but also the wish of several generations of his family.

Under this lofty goal, what is Jia Baoyu?

Seeing Aunt Xue's temperament coming up again, Xue Baochai had no choice but to say, "Mother, have you forgotten?" In the past few years, how much money we have sprinkled out, there is no shadow of this signboard. Although the second sister lives under the same roof with us, she was raised by the grandmothers in the palace and was favored by the palace. If he becomes a mother, as long as he says a word, our family's signboard is not a trivial matter? Mom, just for the sake of our family, please bear with me. ”

When Aunt Xue heard this, she was even more deflated: "This person is really incomparable. When I was young, our Wang family was not successful, for the sake of the family, my father married my sister to this house, and my sister tried her best to please the old lady, so that my brother had such a chance. And I, married into the Xue family, and used the Xue family's shop, manpower and financial resources to contribute to your uncle's achievements. More than 20 years have passed in a flash, and your uncle has finally come out. But who would have thought that it would be so difficult to go up, but it would be so easy to get down......"

Xue Baochai saw that her mother was crying sadly, so she hurriedly lost the account book, hugged her mother, and comforted her silently. But his gaze turned to Jia Jiu's courtyard.

Xue Baochai's eyes were deep, probably, only he knew what he really thought in his heart at this moment. (To be continued......)
