Aunt Zhou stepped forward to personally help Xue Baochai up, and then pulled her to sit down beside her.

"Miss Bao, this time it's embarrassing for you, our family is a demon king of the mixed world, if there is anything wrong in the future, you just come to me, and I will call the shots for you."

Xue Baochai blushed and nodded after hearing this.

Aunt Zhou chatted with Xue Baochai a few more homely words, and then calmed Xue Baochai, stood up and went to the back.

After a while, when Aunt Zhou came back, she had an extra wooden box in her hand.

Aunt Zhou returned to the bedside and opened the wooden box, which was a golden step in the style of a colorful golden phoenix.

This thing is very valuable, and every feather on this phoenix is embellished with precious stones, and the whole body is made of gold.

If a woman wears it on her head, every step she takes, the phoenix shakes her head and tail, which is very beautiful.

Aunt Zhou smiled and sent the wooden box to Xue Baochai, and then said, "I don't have any good things either, you can take this thing first, and it can be regarded as a meeting gift." ”

Although Xue Baochai's face was flushed, he did not refuse, and reached out to take the wooden box. This thing is Aunt Zhou's testimony to herself, and it cannot be shirked.

Next, Jia Ke said goodbye to Aunt Zhou when he saw that it was dark, and he took Xue Baochai to the courtyard. said with a smile: "You go back to your mother first, and tomorrow morning I will send someone to give you an order and take you to the palace in a beautiful manner." ”

Xue Baochai was originally worried that Jia Ke would take her to the palace like this, and her face would not look good at that time.

"Then I'll go back first."

Xue Baochai said hello to Jia Ke, and then left reluctantly.

Jia Ke stood there until Xue Baochai's figure turned around the verandah and could no longer be seen, and then he took Li Deshan and the others back to the palace.

said that Xue Baochai left Jia Ke's sight, and the reluctant look on his face immediately disappeared, turning into a look of victory.

At this time, her maid Ying'er next to her asked, "Girl, should we go back to the Grand View Garden, or should we go to Madame?" ”

Xue Baochai thought about it for a while, it is better to go back to her mother, meeting her mother today can be regarded as saying goodbye, and I am afraid it will not be so easy to meet again in the future.

"Go to Mother."

So Xue Baochai took the maid three times and two times and came to Aunt Xue's courtyard.

At this time, there was a lot of noise in Aunt Xue's yard.

It turned out that Xue Pan accidentally saw a woman at the temple fair, and he immediately fell in love at first sight. He sent people to inquire around, and it turned out to be Xia Jingui, the daughter of the imperial merchant.

Now Xue Pan is pestering Aunt Xue and going to Xia's house to propose marriage to him.

If it was before, of course Aunt Xue would agree to this family affair, after all, both parties are imperial businessmen, and they can be regarded as a good match, if they can still take care of each other, it is naturally a perfect marriage.

But now Jiafu is becoming more and more prosperous, and Aunt Xue relies on Rongguo Mansion, and her business is bigger than before, and her conscious status is much higher.

In addition, her daughter has such a mind, if it really happens, their family will also be relatives of the emperor in the future.

Therefore, the current Aunt Xue consciously feels that the identity of the Xia family in the future is getting worse and farther, if she marries the daughter of the Xia family, it will not only not be beneficial to her family, but a drag, so she will not agree to Xue Pan's request no matter what.

And Xue Pan didn't know what kind of soup was poured into this Xia Jingui? said that Xia Jingui didn't marry, but he was rolling in front of Aunt Xue.

At this time, Xue Baochai entered the courtyard.

Aunt Xue is back with Xue Baochai, and she is finally relieved, she has nothing to do with this son, and with Xue Baochai here, she can also persuade this son.

And Xue Pan saw that his sister was back, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said to her: "Good sister, you quickly persuade my mother, I have a good marriage, but my mother disagrees." ”

Xue Baochai didn't pay attention to Xue Pan, but helped his mother into the main room, and waited until they were seated before asking her mother what was going on.

Aunt Xue reluctantly told Xue Baochai what happened.

After Xue Baochai listened, he glanced at Xue Pan, and then said with a face: "I think this matter will be put aside for a while, and there may be a turnaround after a while." ”

Xue Pan was a little unhappy when he heard it, "Good sister, brother, I finally fell in love with the right eye, don't you say a few good words for your brother, you are still the same as your mother." ”

Xue Baochai ignored Xue Pan, but turned around and said to Aunt Xue: "Tomorrow, the eldest brother will send someone to send an order to take me to the palace, and I will come back to say hello to my mother first, so as to save time for chaos at home." ”

Aunt Xue's face immediately showed surprise when she heard this, "My son, is this true?" ”

Xue Baochai smiled and exposed his arm, which had a bright jade bracelet on it.

"This is what the old lady rewarded me."

Aunt Xue immediately understood that the old lady had agreed to this matter, and since this was the case, there were no twists and turns.

Then Xue Baochai took out the wooden box from his arms and sent it to Aunt Xue's eyes, and then said, "This is a meeting gift from Aunt Zhou." ”

Aunt Xue saw this golden step, the smile on her face became even brighter, these two big Buddhas agreed, this family matter seems to be a certainty, so that their Baochai will not suffer any grievances even if they arrive in Jia Ke's harem.

Instead, Xue Pan sat there looking at Xue Baochai's appearance, and muttered a little unhappily: "You have become a good thing, what should I do?" You've got to give a word. ”

Xue Baochai glared at Xue Pan with hatred that iron could not be made of steel, and then said: "No matter how beautiful that Xia Jingui is, he can't come to our house to be the wife of the main house." ”

Xue Pan was unhappy when he heard this, "What kind of truth is this?" ”

Aunt Xue raised her hand and slapped Xue Pan, and then explained to him: "Since your sister is with Uncle Jia, an imperial concubine will not be able to run away in the future, if you marry Xia Jingui, wouldn't you let the future emperor be a relative of an imperial businessman?" ”

After hearing this, Xue Pan immediately understood what Aunt Xue meant, so he sat there and hung his head in frustration.

Aunt Xue looked at her son's listlessness and felt a little pity for him, so she hurriedly added: "Look at your unpromising appearance, isn't it just a woman?" What's so hard about this? ”

Xue Pan immediately became excited when he heard this, he stood up and came behind Aunt Xue, gave him a constant beating on the back, and then licked his face and said, "What can Mother do?" ”

"In the future, the identity of our family will be high, how can the daughter of an imperial merchant be your main house, if you like a post when the time comes, just bring it over to you as a side room."

Xue Pan's eyes lit up when he heard this, his main purpose was Xia Jingui, as for whether he was the main house or not, it was like that.

When Aunt Xue saw that Xue Pan had been appeased, she ignored him, turned around and said to Xue Baochai: "My son, tomorrow the eldest brother will come to give the order, this time is a little tight, we have to prepare quickly." ”

And Xue Pan next to him also loved his sister, he immediately took Aunt Xue's words, "I heard that when the Queen Mother was still a virtuous concubine, Rongguo Mansion kept sending silver to it, it seems that the palace also needs to be dotted up and down, and the family just collected last year's rent is about 20,000 or 30,000 taels, first bring your sister to the palace in case of emergency." ”

Aunt Xue nodded, and then said: "Things in the palace are different from ours outside, you only have one personal maid, this is not good, I will choose a few more innocent ones, and you can bring them to the palace for personal use." ”

Xue Baochai nodded, these things were exactly what she wanted to use in the palace.

That night, Xue Baochai did not go back to his room to rest, but slept in the same bed with Aunt Xue.

The mother and daughter seemed to have endless conversations, and it was not until the sky was about to dawn that they slept for a while.

After Xue Baochai got up in the morning, she immediately dressed up, waiting for Jia Ke to come and give an order, so that she could be taken into the palace.

Not to mention that Xue Baochai was talking to her mother here, and after Mrs. Wang returned to her room, her peaceful face just now immediately turned blue.

Mrs. Wang didn't expect this Xue Baochai to have such great ambitions, this is completely not taking her family Baoyu into account, and people are going to the royal family.

But the matter has come to this point, and Mrs. Wang has no choice, after all, her current power still can't get Jia Ke.

In the end, Mrs. Wang thought about it, this matter can only be stopped, but Baoyu seems to have to arrange a capable daughter-in-law, otherwise, with Baoyu's nest appearance, how can she support a family in the future.

Mrs. Wang went through the women she knew, and found that these people were all beautiful women, and it was really difficult for them to let them support a family.

When Mrs. Wang was worried, suddenly the maid outside reported: "Bao Sanye is here." ”

Then the curtain opened, and Jia Baoyu hurriedly came in from outside.

Seeing that Jia Baoyu was covered in sweat, Mrs. Wang said with some distress: "What's the matter, what's the matter, beware of catching a cold, and having to eat that bitter potion again." ”

Jia Baoyu didn't take it seriously at all, he didn't salute Mrs. Wang, he came directly to Mrs. Wang and asked, "Mother, I heard that the eldest brother is going to take Sister Bao into the air, is this true?" ”

Mrs. Wang didn't say anything else, and nodded silently.

Jia Baoyu immediately became anxious when he saw this scene.

"Mother, this is absolutely impossible, how can a vulgar person like the eldest brother be worthy of a girl like Sister Bao."

Jia Baoyu was actually jealous of Jia Ke, when he saw Qin Keqing, he felt that this was the lover of his dreams, and he thought that Jia Ke was never worthy of Qin Keqing.

Next, even Shi Xiangyun entered Jia Ke's room, which made Jia Baoyu even more dissatisfied, and now even Sister Bao, who was very good to herself, was asked by Jia Ke to go to the palace, which made Jia Baoyu's heart very unbalanced.

Mrs. Wang looked at the naïve Jia Baoyu and didn't know what to say, and finally she sighed and said to the maid below, "Send your third master back to the garden." ”

The maid below listened to the order and immediately came forward to persuade Jia Baoyu, but Jia Baoyu saw that Mrs. Wang's face was gloomy and she didn't dare to entangle anymore, so she could only leave with an unhappy face.
