Aunt Xue invited Mrs. Wang into the room alone, poured a cup of tea for her, and the two sat opposite each other on the kang.

Mrs. Wang knew that Aunt Xue must have something to say to herself, so she asked, "If my sister has anything to say, when did you and my sisters become so separated?"

When Aunt Xue heard this, she wiped her tears and sobbed: "Don't hide it from my sister, I'm really scared now." Since Pan'er's father died, I haven't worried about it for a day, lest I can't manage this family well, and I won't have the face to see Pan'er's father in the future.

I thought it would only be a few years, and when Pan'er grew up and became sensible, it would be fine. But now it seems that this is all my wish.

I thought, when Pan'er and his father were in the past, he was not like this, but now he has done such a big disaster, I am afraid that there is still a lack of discipline, and if it goes on like this, if Pan'er really learns badly, I will die, and it will be difficult to face the ancestors of the Xue family. Therefore, I want to send him to the capital, in the end, under the eyes of his uncle and uncle, he can act more restrained.

I don't want him to be rich and prosperous in the future, I just hope that he can pass on the inheritance left by his ancestors, and I will be content. ”

Mrs. Wang said: "You are right to think so, Pan'er, this kid is not afraid of heaven and earth, in this Jinling City, it is inevitable to mix with some people of three religions and nine streams, and get some bad temper." But Pan'er is still young, you don't have to worry too much, just send him to the capital, with his uncle here, you can take his heart somewhat.

It just so happens that if you go to Beijing, we sisters will be able to gather together every day to talk. ”

The Xue family is now a family of three, and if Xue Pan goes to Beijing, Aunt Xue and Baochai will naturally be together.

Aunt Xue smiled bitterly, there were some things she couldn't say.

Now there are only three orphans and widows left in the Xue family, but there are many properties in the family, not to mention staring at the slaves in the family, the shopkeeper and the guys in the store every day, in case they are coaxed and deceived in the past, even the relatives and elders in the clan are also worried about wanting to come up and get cheap.

It's really annoying.

In fact, she had already had the plan to move her family to Beijing to ask her sister Mrs. Wang, brother Wang Ziteng and others to take care of her. It's just that such reasons are difficult to say, so it has been delayed to this day.

"In fact, in addition to Pan'er, there is also the matter of Baochai. Her father had plans to send her to the palace before his death, and it happened that this year was the year of the election.

In the first month, an official from the Ministry of Rites came down, and I reported her name. Originally, I thought that I would send Bao Yatou to Beijing in a few months to be selected, but now that I have caught up with Pan'er, I might as well leave earlier. ”

Perhaps she felt that it was a little rash to move her family just to discipline Xue Pan, Aunt Xue said again.

"Bao girl to be chosen?" Mrs. Wang was a little surprised, and then said: "This is not bad, I have also seen Bao girl, it is indeed a rare girl in the world, no matter her appearance or words and deeds, she is the best choice." ”

Mrs. Wang understood very well why the Xue family wanted to send Baochai into the palace, in fact, why wasn't her eldest daughter Yuan Chun sent to the palace like this?

In a family like theirs, the daughter of the family has been pampered since childhood, and in fact, she also serves as the responsibility of the family. In addition to marrying with the right family, another way is probably to enter the palace.

Whether it is as a playmate of the royal princess or as a female official in the palace, it is good for the family. Of course, if you are lucky enough to be favored by the emperor and become a concubine, then naturally it will not be to mention.

But these are all based on the interests of the family, as a mother, how can I bear to look at the pearl in my palm, and my heart is sent to the palace to be driven?

It has been many years since her daughter Yuanchun entered the palace, and the idle mother and daughter can't even see each other......

Aunt Xue saw that Mrs. Wang was depressed, and knew that she was missing her daughter, so she no longer stayed on the issue of Baochai's choice, and said: "About the girl that Pan'er snatched back......"

Before Aunt Xue finished speaking, Mrs. Wang had already come back to her senses, frowned, and said, "Yes, I almost forgot!" He glanced at Aunt Xue again and said, "If it weren't for her, Pan'er wouldn't have been involved in a life lawsuit." How could such a person let her stay at home, what does my sister think? ”

Aunt Xue was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's all up to my sister to decide." ”

......

"Second master, second master, our wife and your wife are here, we want to get her out!"

Xi'er ran into the house and said to Jia Baoyu.

"Who to get out?"

"It's the little girl our uncle sent over today!"

Jia Baoyu secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly put down the book and walked out quickly.

Sure enough, in front of a door on the other side of the corridor, a group of people gathered. Zhou Rui's family was leading Xiangling out.

"Stop!"

Jia Baoyu let out a loud shout, walked quickly to Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, frowned and asked, "Madam, what are you going to do here?" ”

Aunt Xue smiled: "Baoyu, your mother thinks it's not good to let her stay at home and wants to send her out." ”

Jia Baoyu didn't look at Aunt Xue, and continued to say to Mrs. Wang, "Where to send it?" ”

Mrs. Wang's face was expressionless, but a trace of displeasure flashed on her face. In the past, Baoyu never dared to look at himself like this.

"Just because you are young and ignorant, for the sake of a girl, you have hurt other people's lives in vain, and now if I let you keep her in the house, won't I connive at you to continue to be domineering and bullying people in the future? Therefore, the family will never be able to keep her. ”

"No way!"

"Baoyu, you dare to disobey me?"

Mrs. Wang was really angry and said in a deep voice.

The maid next to "Second Master ......" quietly pulled Jia Baoyu's clothes. When an elder says the word disobedience to his face, it means that the matter is already very serious.

Seeing that the people around her became a little nervous, Jia Baoyu knew what they were worried about. Filial piety is greater than heaven, how can a son object to the decision of his parents?

However, Jia Baoyu is not the Jia Baoyu in the original book, and it is impossible not to dare to say anything in front of Mrs. Wang.

Laughing, Jia Baoyu straightened her robe, knelt down slowly, and said: "The child is not disobedient to his wife, but he also asks his wife to think twice, she is a girl's family, she was abducted by abductors since she was a child, and she is helpless in this Jinling City, if the wife throws her out and leaves her alone outside, how can she live alone?" My wife is a person who often eats fasting and recites Buddha, and the heart of the Bodhisattva, so why should she be driven away? ”

Mrs. Wang was angry just now, and when she saw Jia Baoyu kneeling on the ground, she felt a little distressed again. He didn't want to change his mind, so he thought about it and said, "Since you say so, then leave her here for one night, and wait for Ming'er and I will send someone to find a nunnery or Taoist temple for her outside the city, so that she can rest inside." ”

A chill rose in Jia Baoyu's heart, Mrs. Wang is directly going to let Xiangling become a monk! He really couldn't understand that with the situation in Jia Mansion, it was not very common to take in a homeless orphan girl, not to mention that he had already knelt down and begged her!

Perhaps this is the embodiment of feudal patriarchal autocracy, in front of Jia Baoyu, Mrs. Wang habitually acts with her own ideas, and does not want to consider Jia Baoyu's feelings at all.

He was disgusted by this kind of arrogance!

"Ma'am!" Jia Baoyu suddenly raised his voice and said, "If Mrs. must drive her away, Baoyu has no way to stop her." ”

Jia Baoyu glanced up at Mrs. Wang, then lowered her head, and her voice had become very calm: "It's just that Baoyu still wants to say that today's incident has nothing to do with her, she is just a victim, a poor person." Mrs. is angry with her now, how can she bear it?

Baoyu only hated why she wanted to expose the identity of the kidnapper today, it was better to let the kidnapper sell her to other rich and noble families, in the end she could still have a place to live. My original intention was to get justice and help her out of the sea of suffering, but now it seems that I hurt her, hehe. ”

"Baoyu, you ......!" Mrs. Wang's brows were tightly locked, for some reason, Jia Baoyu's words, she felt extremely uncomfortable when she heard it. She even had the illusion that Jia Baoyu was threatening her!

Mrs. Wang thinks it's incredible, Jia Baoyu will threaten her?

If you think about it, it doesn't seem to mean that. But she vaguely felt that if she really drove away this girl today, she would lose something, something important to her.

Mrs. Wang felt a little irritable in her heart.

The scene fell silent for a while.

At this time, Baochai also came with her maid, but she didn't speak, just stood quietly beside Aunt Xue, staring at the young man who was kneeling in the middle of the corridor, motionless, with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"Sister, in fact, Baoyu is right, this girl is just a poor person, blame himself for Pan'er's affairs, and he can't complain about others. Why don't you just follow Baoyu's wishes and keep her. ”

Aunt Xue naturally won't let the scene go on forever and come out to play a round. Zhou Rui's family also said: "Mrs., I think this girl is also a duty, and her background is so pitiful, let's leave her." ”

Mrs. Wang took a deep breath and said slowly, "Then, just stay...... In the future, let her serve in the treasure jade house, attack people, and I will hand her over to you. ”

"Thank you, Mrs. for your kindness!"

Jia Baoyu kowtowed. Madame Wang just glanced at him, didn't say anything, didn't call him up, turned and left.

"You......" Aunt Xue also blamed Jia Baoyu, but she didn't say anything, and followed Mrs. Wang's footsteps.

At this time, she was going to unravel Mrs. Wang.

Jia Baoyu stood up, looked at the people around him who were looking at each other, and suddenly smiled: "Why, you don't know me anymore?" ”

The charming man stuck out his tongue and said, "Yes, after serving the second master for so many years, it is the first time I have seen the second master confront his wife...... It scared the hell out of me! ”

The attacker hurriedly said: "What nonsense, what is called contradicting Mrs., don't talk nonsense!" ”

Jia Baoyu smiled, he couldn't talk about the confrontation, but he did go against Mrs. Wang's intentions. Mrs. Wang's care and love for him is so strong that you don't need to breathe to feel it.

If it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to go against Madame Wang's wishes.

However, he doesn't want to be a "mom treasure" who is confined by his parents at home and can't do everything! People who listen to their parents in everything will live a very successful life, or they will be miserable.

Fortunately, today Mrs. Wang "succumbed". This kind of thing happens once and twice, and when it encounters a similar situation in the future, it will not be so difficult to get Mrs. Wang to agree to his appeal.

Finding that Baochai was also in front of him, Jia Baoyu bent down and greeted: "Sister Bao." ”

Baochai said with a smile: "There is Jiao Zhongqing's kneeling mother and wife in the double walls of Yuefu, and now there are Bao brothers kneeling and saving their mothers. What Brother Bao does today would be compiled into a book or a book? ”

The corners of Jia Baoyu's mouth raised, Baochai was so joking, it was both elegant and playful, and it was pleasant to listen to.

Baochai smiled to herself, suddenly looked at Xiangling and said: "This is the girl my brother gave you, it really looks good, no wonder you can't bear her." By the way, what's her name? ”

"She said her name was Li'er. ”

Baochai frowned and said: "This name is not good, since her life experience is not smooth, she is called this, but it is unlucky, it is better to change another one." ”

Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "What Sister Bao said is that her name is probably also given by the crutch, and now that she has come to us, she naturally can't call that name anymore." Why don't you change one for Sister Bao? ”

Baochai shook her head: "She's not my girl, why do you tell me to change?" Can't Brother Bao even have a name? ”

Jia Baoyu said: "If you want me to change it for her, just call her Xiangling, the Ling of 'Ling Song Singing Can't Win Spring', what does Sister Bao think of this name?" ”

Baochai was stunned for a moment, just now in her mind, it was such a name, but she was a serious person and didn't like to act as a substitute.

But why did Jia Baoyu think of this name? Looking at Jia Baoyu's brilliant face, there was a trace of doubt in Baochai's eyes, and there was also a hint of uncertainty.
