Hearing that Princess Changle didn't see her, Xue Baochai's heart also sank, and seeing that the girl seemed to have a look of complaint on her face, she hurriedly took off the gold bracelet on her wrist and stuffed it into the other party's hand.

"It's hard for you. This is a little heart, and I ask you to accept it. ”

The girl didn't want it originally, but Xue Baochai stuffed it into his hand vigorously, refused a few times, and finally took it, but he didn't dare to make his own assertion anymore, after accepting the bracelet, he raised his eyes to look at Xue Baochai, turned around and closed the courtyard door, so that Xue Baochai's master and servant had a closed door.

Princess Changle will be angry and will make fun of him Xue Baochai, Xue Baochai has already prepared in his heart, he thought it was no big deal. Princess Changle's status is noble, if their Xue family wants to climb to Princess Changle, where is it enough to just spend money? Not to mention that Mrs. Wang is offending him now?

However, when it came to the end, Xue Baochai still felt very humiliated.

This has something to do with his past.

She was originally the daughter of a merchant, and her brother was even a murderer on the run. If he had changed to someone else's family, I was afraid that he would have been disliked by others a long time ago, and even a girl with some face would dare to throw his face at him, but the Jia family was different. For the sake of a benevolent name, Mother Jia can acquiesce to Mrs. Wang borrowing money from the treasury to let those minions make money, how could he give Xue Baochai, who is also a guest, a faceless person?

Jia Jiu is a girl again, except for the sacrificial matter, she basically only cares about the one acre and three points of land in her yard, where will she care about how the people in front of Jia's mother treat Xue Baochai?

As for the junior Jia Qian, the Jia Qing sisters are even less talkative.

Whether it is Jia Jiu or Jia Qian and Jia Qing's sisters, they will only take care of their own affairs.

And so it goes. It was convenient for Xue Baochai to gain a firm foothold in Jia's family, and even if he pit Jia Jiu's tens of millions of taels of silver, this mansion did not do anything to him. Those girls are still polite to each other. Even when the last seizure came out, it was Mrs. Wang who made a fuss first.

And in order to get the silver from the Xue family and from his Xue Baochai, even if Mrs. Wang made a fuss, it was only for a while, and after that period of time, Mrs. Wang was still very close to him in front of people.

It can be said that since entering Beijing. Xue Baochai really hasn't eaten closed-door soup. Now, being locked out, Xue Baochai feels hot on his face. Even then there was something wrong with his heart, as if someone was pointing at his vest, which made him feel more and more uncomfortable.

If Princess Changle knew Xue Baochai's feelings at this time, she would definitely say a word. He was spoiled by the Jia family and Jia Jiu. A merchant girl should look like a merchant girl. Unless he, Xue Baochai, can change the concept of the entire world, otherwise, he should honestly stay in the position of a merchant girl, and when facing the official lady, he should bow his head.

If you change the world, if you re-educate in another world, maybe Xue Baochai will go out of his own world.

But in this land, it is simply impossible.

Xue Baochai ate a closed-door meal outside Jia Jiu's yard, and was soon noticed by the girls in the back garden. Whether it is Jia Qian and Jia Qing sisters who live in the Huansha Pavilion. Lin Daiyu, who still lives in Xiangxue Villa, or Shi Xiangyun, Xing Xiuyan, Tanchun, Xichun and others who also live in the back garden. I know it all one after another.

Jia Qian and Jia Qing knew very well that Jia Jiu would not let Xue Baochai eat behind closed doors, and it was actually Princess Changle who really kept Xue Baochai out of the door.

They won't disobey Princess Changle.

Lin Daiyu is filial piety behind closed doors, and he is not familiar with Xue Baochai, plus he has younger brothers and sisters to take care of, especially his eldest brother, who has always been assertive, and he doesn't like Xue Baochai, so he can only stop.

Shi Xiangyun knew that Xue Baochai was his fierce rival to become Bao ** milk, and it was already calculated if he didn't fall into the ground, so how could he be willing to come out to round the field for Xue Baochai?

Tanchun is shrewd, even if it is small, this is obviously Princess Changle giving Xue Baochai no face, how can he make it up?

Cherish the spring and be small, let alone say.

Xing Xiuyan didn't want to care.

He is just a guest who lives in the Jia family under the name of Mrs. Xing, and says that he is a relative of the Jia family, but in fact, he is just a door-to-door autumn breeze, and the grass and paper he uses are all from the Jia family, so what qualifications does he have?

But he can't ignore it, because every afternoon, he has to learn all kinds of things from the grandmother in Jia Jiu's house, in addition to poetry, music theory, incense, tea, and of course, housekeepers or something. Now, being blocked by Xue Baochai, Xing Xiuyan is worried.

He was very sure that if he went to Jia Jiu's courtyard, Xue Baochai would definitely pretend to meet him by chance, chat with him first, and then go in with him.

Obviously he was turned away, and he would treat it as if there was no such thing.

Although Xing Xiuyan was indifferent, he also knew that he must not be entangled by Xue Baochai.

Xing Xiuyan knew that Xue Baochai was a very patient person, if he was turned away today, he would come over tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. And he couldn't go to his cousin's yard all the time. But if you go to the front, not to mention that the alley behind Rongxi Hall is mixed, and the mother-in-law and the little maid will go here, it is this behavior of taking a long detour, in the eyes of others, it is too deliberate.

Xing Xiuyan hesitated for a while, thought about it, and went to the spring exploration house.

Tanchun was sitting under the window making shoes for Jia Baoyu, and was really taken aback when he heard Xing Xiuyan coming.

"Sister Xing is really expensive."

Noble toes stepping on the ground, fluffy and shining, it was originally a humble polite remark, but in Tanchun, it has a sour taste.

How is Tanchun not sour?

He is Jia Zheng's daughter, and in terms of blood, he is Jia Yu's niece, but because of a maidservant's daughter, his life is only better than that of ordinary girls. Although Xing Xiuyan came to Jia's house empty-handed, he also had a decent father, and even his aunt Mrs. Xing was a living dead. But he deserves to have a cousin who is willing to spend money on him.

Today, Xing Xiuyan wears more clothes and jewelry than him every season. Even the monthly money is more than him. Because Xing Xiuyan took the old rules, two taels of silver a month plus two taels of silver for fat powder, while Tanchun only had monthly money and no fat powder money.

I heard that Xing Xiuyan is here. Tanchun was also stunned, and said after a while: "I heard that the second sister has prepared Sister Xing's dowry silver, is there such a thing?" ”

The waiter replied, "Back to the girl, yes." I heard that there were 5,000 taels. ”

Tanchun didn't speak for a long time, and it wasn't until the waiter couldn't help but remind him that he remembered to let Xing Xiuyan in.

After the two of them politely said goodbye. The guest sat down, and Tanchun looked straight at Xing Xiuyan again.

Xing Xiuyan saw that Tanchun didn't speak for a long time, and thought something. hurriedly said: "Third sister, you look at me like this, but what's wrong with my face?" ”

Tanchun shook his head, he wanted to say that Sister Xing was so blessed. But the words came to his lips. He swallowed it back anyway. After all, his self-esteem did not allow him to lose face in front of Xing Xiuyan.

Although, at the moment, he no longer has much capital to be proud in front of Xing Xiuyan.

"Sister Xing, is there anything wrong with coming today?"

Xing Xiuyan looked at Tanchun and said, "Third sister, do you know that Sister Bao has eaten a closed door in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess......

Tanchun couldn't help but grab Bai and said: "Why didn't Sister Xing say it, it was the second sister who let Sister Bao eat the closed door?" ”

Xing Xiuyan said: "Third sister, you and I both know that Sister Bao took tens of millions of taels of silver from the second sister. If the second sister is angry with Sister Bao. I've turned Sister Bao out a long time ago, so why wait until today? ”

Tanchun was speechless.

It's not just Mrs. Wang. Even he, when he dreams back at midnight, he will pinch his fingers and calculate how many things can be done with 10 million taels of silver. He even thought more than once, if this batch of goods had reached Mrs. Wang's hands, how much would be left? Will Mrs. Wang's fingers leak out of a little or two, will she give him a dowry?

However, this batch of goods fell into the hands of the Xue family, and it is still unknown how much Mrs. Wang can get back from the Xue family, let alone leak a little bit to give him a dowry.

Tanchun was silent for a while and said, "Sister Xing, what do you mean by this?" ”

Xing Xiuyan replied: "Clear-eyed people say bright words, literally. After a pause, he said: "Third sister, no matter what, Sister Bao is also the niece daughter of the second wife and the cousin of the mother, if she stands outside the second sister's yard for a long time, it is not only Sister Bao who will lose face in the end, isn't it?" ”

Tanchun narrowed his eyes and said, "You want me to come forward?" ”

"Yes."

"Then you should understand that Sister Bao is actually Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"But we know who Her Royal Highness wants to have a seizure more than Sister Bao. Sister Bao has only received it on behalf of others. ”

Tanchun was silent.

He had to admit that Xing Xiuyan was right.

The person who really offended Princess Changle was not Xue Baochai, but Mrs. Wang. It's just that Xue Baochai happened to hit the muzzle of the gun, and Mrs. Wang suffered it.

Tanchun said: "Sister Xing, I don't know if you have ever thought that even if I come forward, Sister Bao will not necessarily give up. ”

Xue Baochai's temperament, they are all very clear.

Xing Xiuyan replied: "Third sister, you should also know that the reason why Her Royal Highness the Princess is Her Royal Highness the Princess is because he is the daughter of Banzai today. Chengmen Lixue may be useful to some people, but for Her Royal Highness the Princess, it will only make Her Royal Highness the Princess more angry. You say, yes? ”

Tanchun also hesitated.

He had to admit that Xing Xiuyan was very reasonable.

If he were replaced, he would not necessarily be willing to accept this forced request for forgiveness.

Tanchun said: "But Sister Bao has always been smart. Such a simple truth, he would not understand? ”

Xing Xiuyan replied: "I'm afraid that Sister Bao is too smart and thinks about it." ”

The answer to Xing Xiuyan was a long silence.

Xing Xiuyan saw Tanchun hanging her head and was silent, and said: "Third sister, after all, even the old lady knows that it was the second lady who was not careful in her words, so she offended Her Royal Highness the princess." Sister Bao is now closed, but when she turns around, when the gust of wind passes, the second wife will remember his goodness. But the third sister, you are the daughter of the second wife. ”

Xing Xiuyan's words were not finished, but Tanchun already knew what he wanted to say.

He Jia Tanchun is a concubine, and he is also a maidservant daughter, his future and his future are all in the hands of his mother, Mrs. Wang. Even if Mrs. Wang is still white, even if the charges on Mrs. Wang have not been washed away, it is too simple for him to take care of himself as a concubine.

Tanchun thought for a while and said, "Sister Xing, you're right, maybe I should go with Sister Bao to ask Her Royal Highness the princess for forgiveness." ”

Xing Xiuyan shook her head and said, "Third sister, if you are replaced, someone uses Chengmen Lixue's trick to force you to make concessions, are you willing?" That would only make Her Royal Highness the princess even angrier. ”

Tanchun said: "Isn't there still Sister Xing?" If there is Sister Xing to help make peace, and then there is a second sister to say something, Her Royal Highness the princess will not even give this face. ”

It was only at this time that Xing Xiuyan realized that he didn't know about Tanchun at all.

He originally thought that with the advantages and disadvantages of Tanchun, and with the shrewdness of Tanchun, he should understand what he meant and help dispel Xue Baochai's idea. didn't expect that Tanchun would hit Jia Jiu and him with his idea.

Xing Xiuyan groaned slightly, and said, "It's not difficult to ask me to help you talk about it." It's just that the third sister has this certainty to let Sister Bao take a step back first? ”

Tanchun just wanted to say something, but he saw the waiter give him a look and made a gesture.

Tanchun thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult." After all, Sister Bao came to the door with a generous gift this time. I can't hide this from my wife. If Mrs. Bao knew that Sister Bao had this money, she would definitely go to the door of the Xue family. ”

Xing Xiuyan said: "It depends on the third sister's ability." ”

Tanchun was stunned, but Xing Xiuyan got up and said goodbye.

As soon as Xing Xiuyan left, the waiter couldn't help but say, "This Xing girl is really a good life." Although his mother's family is not successful, the second girl should not intentionally promote him. Although the marriage has not yet been settled, the dowry is already in place. I heard that the second girl also asked someone to prepare a Zhuangzi for him to marry. ”

Tanchun was stunned for a moment, turned his head and asked, "Who said that?" ”

The waiter said: "That's what the girls around Miss Xing said." Na Jin Er and Seal Er were displayed in the kitchen, and many people heard it at that time. ”

According to the rules of the Jia family, when a concubine marries, the dowry ranges from 5,000 to 10,000 yuan. But in fact, what good family can you have with a maid like Tanchun? A dowry of 5,000 taels of silver is already the sky.

Tanchun himself knew that the standard of these five thousand taels of silver was still the standard when there was no division of the family. Now, after the separation, all the belongings in Jia Zheng's hands are only 200,000 taels of silver, and Jia Zheng is not a general manager, and it is still unknown how much silver money can be left in his hands now.

Tanchun even thought pessimistically that he would be thankful that his dowry could have two thousand taels of silver. Where did you think that you could have the blessing of marrying Zhuangzi?

Tanchun also told his grandmother that now the land outside, even if it is wasteland, costs more than ten taels of silver, and if it is good land, there is no twenty-five taels that cannot come. A marrying Zhuangzi will cost ten hectares of land, that is, 1,000 acres, even if it is all wasteland, it will cost more than 10,000 taels of silver.

Where does today's Tanchun dare to hope that there will be a Zhuangzi to marry? In the future, when he goes out, he can marry a hundred acres of land, and he will be thankful. (To be continued......)
