Xue Baochai was stunned, and Xue Baoqin was in a hurry.

Xue Baoqin knows very well that he has a mission to come here today. However, his tutor also made him very aware that the more he was in front of His Holiness, the more he had to pay attention to the rules. The Jia family was originally a nouveau riche family, and Jia's mother liked him, so in front of Jia's mother, Xue Baoqin could certainly be more relaxed. But now in front of Princess Changle, of course Xue Baoqin can't be presumptuous.

Just when Xue Baoqin's forehead was faintly sweating, Jia Jiu finally spoke: "Sister Bao is here today, but is there something wrong?" ”

Because of Mrs. Wang's relationship, Xue Baochai has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and he will not come to Jia Jiu's side, if he comes, there must be something, not to mention, Xue Baochai is here with Xue Baoqin and a brocade box today.

Xue Baochai finally came back to his senses.

He smiled: "Let the second sister smile." I got a few new flowers, although they are not a rare thing, but they also mean something, so I share them with my sisters. ”

As he spoke, he pushed the brocade box out.

Jia Jiu didn't open it, nor did he say whether it was good or bad, but said, "Sister Bao is really polite." If you want me to say, there are so many sisters and sisters in the family now, Sister Bao is the easiest to dress, and even the old lady has complained a few times in private. Why doesn't Sister Bao keep these things for herself? ”

Xue Baochai was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look up at Jia Jiu.

In fact, Jia Jiu, like Xue Baochai, is the simplest girl in the Rongguo Marquis's Mansion. Xue Baochai is to show his dignity and thrift, as for Jia Jiu. He is here to save time and effort.

Jia Jiu is the girl with the most clothes and jewelry in the entire Rongguo Marquis Mansion, except for Lin Daiyu. He has so much jewelry that he can use to give away, such as Xing Xiuyan. Of course, Jia Jiu is also one of the girls in the Jia family who don't know how to dress up. Although there are a lot of aunts, girls, and grandmothers around him, for Jia Jiu, it is better to spend several hours every day dressing up, it is better to sit down and practice the piano for a while and copy a few more pages.

Therefore, Jia Jiu's hairstyle is always the simplest among the many girls in the Jia family. But. The jewelry he used was all expensive and generous, often starting with one or two pieces of jewelry from the palace. Match it with the jewelry made at home as an embellishment, or the jewelry sent by the door, with one or two small things.

Even if Jia's mother was born in a nouveau riche family, she also has some knowledge. I finally recognize the style in the palace. And the things sent by the Daomen. Although there is no paragraph, the solemnity of the history is clear at a glance.

Mother Jia will say that Xue Baochai is too pure, but she will never say that Jia Jiu is pure. Because even if Jia Jiu is dressed as simple as Xue Baochai, the things on his body are never simple.

At this point, Xue Baochai can't be compared in any way.

Hearing Jia Jiu say this, Xue Baoqin couldn't help but glance at her cousin. Although they are cousins, Xue Baoqin's use is not the responsibility of Xue Baochai's family. Their brother and sister went to Beijing. can bring a lot of property, in order not to let his sister be despised in the Jia family. Xue Zhen Ke really did a lot of homework. Especially Xue Baoqin's jewelry, which was carefully prepared.

In contrast, Xue Baochai does seem much simpler.

If it were another girl, it might seem embarrassing, but Xue Baochai was very generous.

Xue Baochai also knows his own affairs. There is such a real aunt here, if he dresses up carefully, I am afraid that this aunt will have a reason to cry poor. Therefore, even if he is disgusted by Jia's mother, he will not change.

I only heard him say: "Let the second sister laugh." It's just that I'm not good at this. ”

Jia Jiu listened and said with a smile: "Sister Bao has always been a clever person, I thought Sister Bao could come to everything." But I didn't expect that Sister Bao, like me, was not good at this. It's just that our old lady's temper likes to be lively and lively the most. Sister Bao, there are some things, please bear with me. ”

Although the words were polite and tactful, Xue Baochai knew very well that Jia Jiu's attitude was still resolute.

He hoped that he would be able to obey Jia's mother.

Xue Baochai's mouth was bitter.

Mother Jia is the wife of the Marquis of Rongguo's Mansion, and she is full of words in the inner house, and under the righteousness, even Jia Jiu does not dare to disobey this old lady. How did Xue Baochai not know about this matter?

But what could he do?

It is because of an aunt who is greedy for money that Xue Baochai tries to be as simple as possible, so that when Mrs. Wang comes to ask him for money, she can cry poor by the way. It's just that in this way, it will definitely not be able to satisfy Jia's mother, who likes richness.

If you dress up well, of course, you can satisfy Mother Jia, but in that case, Mrs. Wang will definitely be like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and the lion will open her mouth and ask them for money from the Xue family for various reasons.

Xue Baochai is not a stupid person, of course he knows that he should choose affordability at this time, rather than just looking at the glamour on his face.

It's just that in this way, being disliked by Jia's mother and accepting Shi Xiangyun's various eyes, occasionally, like today, being reminded by Jia Jiu has become a certain routine.

Xue Baochai also opened the brocade box directly, and said, "Let the second sister smile." This is the new palace flower, although it is not very outstanding, it is better to have a little novelty, and please ask the second sister to smile. ”

Xue Baochai had already opened the brocade box and pushed it in front of him, and Jia Jiu had to open it and take a look. Princess Changle took advantage of the situation and looked at Jia Jiu's hand.

Gonghua is such a thing, it is ordinary to say that it is ordinary, and it is unusual to say that it is unusual.

In the palace, almost everyone wears flowers, from all kinds of flowers to fake flowers. Among them, some of those fake flowers are made of various yarns and silks, and some are made of various pearls and gemstones. People who have money, leisure, and can pay attention to it will cut the whole piece of cloth, just for such a small piece of material, and will also smash the best jade decoration, just for a small piece of satisfactory jade.

But if you don't pay attention to life, you can't pay attention to it, so naturally you can only make up for it.

In Princess Changle's opinion, these palace flowers look a little new, but they are not brilliant enough, and they are just at the same level as the palace people around him, not to mention comparing them with the designs of court painters. In terms of materials, it is even more incomparable.

In the opinion of Princess Changle. The main body of these palace flowers is a pile of flowers made of gauze and silk, and they are decorated with fine gemstones. But the gem was not in good shape. The polishing skills of the craftsmen are not first-class either. As for the yarn silk used, it doesn't look like it's carefully selected, but it's like a leftover material that has been dyed and modified.

This kind of silk flower, in the eyes of Princess Changle, can be used by the second-class palace people around her, and even the first-class palace maids around him will not be on the top, let alone used to give it away.

But. Considering Xue Baochai's identity and family background, Princess Changle didn't talk much.

Jia Jiu just looked at it casually and put it down. But he didn't forget to ask: "Sister Bao is so polite." But this flower is for me alone? Or do you have both sisters and sisters? ”

Xue Baochai is also accustomed to sending this kind of bits and pieces to Jia Jiu every time Jia Jiu will definitely bring such a sentence, and immediately replied with a smile: "Except for Sister Lin, other sisters have it." Even Qian'er and Qing'er have them. After all. Sister Lin hasn't had an anniversary yet, so it's not easy to give this kind of thing casually. ”

Jia Jiu smiled at this time: "Sister Bao has a heart." ”

Princess Changle knew very well that Xue Baochai would send palace flowers, and it was completely a drunkard's intention to drink. The thing seems to be given to Jia Jiu, but the real purpose is still on himself. It's just that if you want to give a gift that satisfies you, it's not easy for the current Xue family. After all, she is a princess and a beloved daughter today. Since childhood, he has developed a very high vision in the palace, and he has gone through so many things. I always feel like I've been treated badly today. Therefore, since he returned to Jingshi, his share has been mentioned to the upper part, not only far more than his half-sisters, but even his aunts. Rao is like this, Queen Taishang and the current queen often sigh that they are children without their own mothers, and they often have additional subsidies.

Therefore, if the Xue family wants to give themselves gifts, they must either be extremely expensive or extremely rare.

It's just that in that case, it seems too deliberate, and naturally it will fall behind. And the cost is definitely not a small amount.

Princess Changle knew very well that the Xue family was happy to spend money for their family's imperial merchant signboard, but the money spent on this imperial merchant signboard, the Xue family would definitely find it back in the future palace offerings. In this way, the state spends no less money, but the standard of living in the palace has declined, and in the end, the quality of life is damaged by all the people living in the palace.

Princess Changle would not be so stupid, for such a small thing, offended the entire palace.

Seeing that Princess Changle was favored, other merchants also gave Princess Changle generous gifts. Princess Changle has an attitude, accept the gift, as for the other party's request, either refuse directly, or, as if she doesn't know.

Princess Changle's approach is clear to many people in the capital, and of course the Xue family is the same.

In fact, in Princess Changle's opinion, if Xue Baochai had a heart, he could have waited for two days, everyone else had come to visit him, and he would not be abrupt if he came behind others. But Xue Baochai was the first to come. In the eyes of Princess Changle, this is definitely not Xue Baochai's own idea, and the people who can make Xue Baochai do this, except for the Wang family, the mother of Concubine Jia, don't think about him.

Princess Changle is not willing to give face to this Wang family, just like he is in the palace and has always looked down on Jia Yuanchun. Even if Jia Yuanchun is one of his concubines, Princess Changle rarely gives this woman a good face, let alone now.

Therefore, Jia Jiu and Xue Baochai asked me to answer, and Princess Changle treated it as if she hadn't heard or seen it.

Although he was a little mindful of Jia Jiu's behavior of rounding the field for Xue Baochai.

When Xue Baochai left with Xue Baoqin, Princess Changle couldn't help but pull the tips of Jia Jiu's hair and said, "You are so good!" ”

Jia Jiu said: "It's just a thing." To be honest, he and I are actually all the way. If I were in his place, I wouldn't have done better than him. ”

Princess Changle said: "Not really." You're like him! Isn't he very capable? Knowledgeable and capable! But he didn't even know how to persuade his brother, and he didn't know how to let his mother restrain his own brother more. If you say that your sister is not good at managing your brother's head, then that's it. But I see him stepping on his brother, and it's very happy! You've never done that before! ”

Before Princess Changle came to Jia's house, she had already asked people to investigate the people around Jia Jiu, and this Xue Baochai, who had calculated Jia Jiu, and Lin Daiyu, who Jia Jiu valued very much, were naturally the focus of the focus.

In the eyes of Princess Changle, Xue Baochai is undoubtedly a girl who is not smart enough.

There are many ways for a girl to show her excellence. Praise the merits of others and do not make yourself appear to be not good enough; Finding fault with other people's shortcomings will not make you appear perfect. And what Xue Baochai made Princess Changle feel the most was that he actually stepped on his brother to climb up!

is also because his brother is not competitive enough, and it is also because his brother is not good enough, and the action taken by Jia Jiu is to find a way to make his brother come out. Whether it is for Jia Lian to accept the teaching of the Zhang family, whether it is for Jia Lian to start as a junior official in the Ming Arithmetic Department, Jia Jiu is in the long run, and does not let his brother stay at home.

But Xue Baochai is completely the opposite. His brother is different from Jia Lian, Jia Lian doesn't listen to his sister like Xue Pan, even if Jia Jiu has something, he must do his job first, and let Jia Yu tell Jia Lian. But Xue Pan is very filial to his mother, and he can also listen to his sister Xue Baochai's words very much. But as long as Xue Baochai is careful and plans carefully, Xue Pan may not go in a good direction.

But Xue Baochai has never taken good care of this brother. Not only that, every time they came to Jia's mother, when their mother and daughter mentioned Xue Pan, they didn't have anything good to say.

Princess Changle felt that it was also a loss that Xue Baochai was not born in the palace, otherwise, he would have been swallowed so much that there were no bones left.

Therefore, Jia Jiu's care and tolerance of Xue Baochai made Princess Changle very incomprehensible.

Having dealt with Jia Jiu for so long, Xue Baochai has become accustomed to this kind of wit. From a certain point of view, this is also the unique tacit understanding between him and Jia Jiu, but in Xue Baoqin's opinion, although Jia Jiu is not difficult for Xue Baochai, it is almost the same. Seeing her cousin's calm appearance, Xue Baoqin was shocked and could only be silent.

Coming out of Jia Jiu's courtyard, Xue Baoqin finally couldn't help but ask Xue Baochai: "Big sister, this palace flower is my sister's hard work for several days, and it is not easy to come by." My sister is really ......."

Xue Baochai said in a low voice: "Jia Junjun has said so, sister, I have to do it." ”

"But big sister, isn't Jia Junjun really embarrassing his sister?"

Xue Baochai turned his head to look at Xue Baoqin and said, "Sister, the second sister has never really felt sorry for me. Because what he asked me to do was what I could do without hurting my Xue family. In contrast, that is ......"

Xue Baochai didn't continue, but his gaze went over the high walls and looked at someone's house.

Xue Baoqin was taken aback.

He wanted to say something more, but in the end he just opened his mouth and said nothing.

Instead, it was Xue Baochai who asked Ying'er to go back and get a few other boxes, and personally took Xue Baoqin to Jia Qian, Jia Qing, Xing Xiuyan, Shi Xiangyun, Tanchun and Xichun.

Jia Qian and Jia Qing sisters were polite to Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin, although they did not lack jewelry, they also politely entertained the two sisters, and when it was over, they were personally delivered to the door.

Xing Xiuyan saw that the Xue sisters were coming, and personally came out to greet him, seeing that Xue Baoqin liked the grasshoppers he tied, and specially packed a small straw cage so that Xue Baoqin could hold it in his hand.

However, Shi Xiangyun's ten-zhang soft red, the two sisters encountered a soft nail instead. (To be continued......)
