In late October, with the arrival of the first snow of the winter, the weather is sunny and snowy.

It snowed overnight on the twenty-sixth night, and the next day it cleared.

Near noon, Baochai, Baoqin, and Chen Xiaoqing stepped on the snow, went out from the corner gate of the garden, and went to Aunt Xue's courtyard to eat.

Having breakfast and lunch and going out to eat with Aunt Xue is a common thing for the Xue sisters.

Aunt Xue is a widow, and Xue Pan is a horse without a halterhead, and she is not at home all day, so the courtyard is deserted, and Baochai and Baoqin go out to dine with her every once in a while, which means to relieve her boredom.

After Chen Xiaoqing lived in Wuyuan in mid-September, it had been more than a month, and at the invitation of the Xue sisters, he also went to Aunt Xue's courtyard with them for a few meals, which was unrestrained.

Walking through a blue brick passage that was not long or short, the three of them stepped into Aunt Xue's courtyard and went to the inner house through the front yard.

When entering the front yard, Baochai and Baoqin looked at each other, their eyes were meaningful, but Chen Xiaoqing was unaware, every time they came back to Aunt Xue's courtyard, almost all of them went straight to the inner house from the front yard, and rarely bypassed the front yard, choosing to enter the inner house from the sandwich road in front.

It's just that she didn't know that the Xue sisters had carefully prepared a scene for her.

On the porch of the front yard sat two twelve or thirteen-year-old maids, and when they saw Baochai and them coming in, they all got up and stood with their hands down.

Baochai and Baoqin walked forward without stopping.

Chen Xiaoqing followed them and glanced at the two little guys, who had come to Aunt Xue's courtyard before, and had passed by the front yard several times, but had never seen them.

Thinking like this, at this time, Baochai and Baoqin paused, and Chen Xiaoqing also paused.

Immediately, Baochai stretched out his hand and beckoned to the two little guys, and the two of them ran down the steps and came to the front.

"Is Uncle here today?"

"Back girl, uncle hasn't gone out today, he's in the house."

"Well, you can send a message to the uncle for me, saying that the silver frost charcoal in me is running out, and the snow wave paper is gone, so Ming'er will let people send some in, in addition, I will prepare a gift, and I will visit a world friend in a few days...... Uncle Tong said that this visit was not an ordinary visit, and the gifts were ...... It's just that you can't pass on this matter clearly, or I'll tell my brother myself...... I can't get used to the smell of wine in his house, so I won't go in, so you go and ask him to come out......"

Although the family lives in Rongfu, they are completely responsible for their daily expenses, including Baochai, who lives in the Grand View Garden.

This is when Aunt Xue took a pair of children to live in the Rong Mansion, she told Mrs. Wang at the beginning, saying that it was "the way to deal with the usual", and Mrs. Wang knew that his family was not difficult to do this, so she also agreed.

Because of this, although their family should be provided by the Rong Mansion for a daily fee, the corresponding silver money was handed over to the Rong Mansion account.

On the Xue family's side, they neither take advantage of the Rong Mansion, but also have a lot of peace of mind.

On the Rong Mansion's side, those housekeepers, procurement and accounting offices are also eager to do so, no matter what, it is profitable here.

Of course, the account in this is the account of the outer house of the Rong Mansion, not in the inner house, after all, it is Xue Pan who deals with the account room of the Rong Mansion, Xue Pan is not there, and the housekeeper does it for him, so it is undoubtedly convenient to deal with the account room of the outer house, and there is no need to run to the inner house for three days.

According to this charter, it is like the silver frost charcoal and snow wave paper that Baochai mentioned at the moment, Xue Pan went to the housekeeper of the outer house to inform him, and sent it to Aunt Xue's courtyard, and then sent it to the Wuyuan by his own servants, and then settled the account with the account room of the outer house of the Rong Mansion.

As for the daily supply, it is the Xue family's own purchase, just like the gifts needed to visit people's homes mentioned by Baochai.

Baochai said this, and the two little guys hurriedly answered and went to the house to invite Xue Pan.

Turning around, Baochai smiled at Chen Xiaoqing and said, "Look at my memory, I still remember to talk about these things with my brother last night, and I almost forgot about it, but fortunately I saw these two little guys, and I remembered it again...... These two little guys often follow their brother, and their brother is also ...... Sister, you might as well ...... But my brother has always been reckless, but I am afraid of bumping into you, so it is better for you to go in first, I have spoken to my brother, and then I will come. ”

"No, you don't." Chen Xiaoqing shook his head with a smile.

Baochai didn't say more.

Since a few days ago, for several days, she has been sending people out of the garden to inquire about her brother's situation here, and today she finally waited for the news that her brother was at home, so she invited Chen Xiaoqing to come over with her under the pretext of dining here.

The reason why I didn't ventilate with my brother in advance, so that I didn't have to bother at all, was because I was worried that after my brother knew, this scene would not be real.

Everything was expected at the moment, and so far, she had laid out the opening scene without water.

Through the true and false words, let the two little guys go and invite Xue Pan to come out, and there is no need to mention it.

Then, on the grounds that his brother had always been reckless and worried about colliding with Chen Xiaoqing, he asked Chen Xiaoqing to go to the inner house with Baoqin first, which is a very common wording in this kind of occasion with the defense of men and women.

These words are both true and false, since they are not suspicious of Chen Xiaoqing and aware of her careful arrangement.

It's just that then again, among them, she is sure that Chen Xiaoqing will stay here.

In addition to her understanding of Chen Xiaoqing's temperament and style, she is hearty and generous, and she doesn't care much about the defense of men and women, before saying the words of reminder, she also pretended to inadvertently squeeze Chen Xiaoqing's sentence "Sister might as well go", with Chen Xiaoqing's temperament, it is naturally impossible to walk away.

In addition, putting these aside, on the other hand, these true and false words are not only ordinary clichés, but also real references, in fact, the word "reckless" is a euphemism on Xue Pan.

The elder brother pestered Chen Xiaoqing on the street, although according to Jia Wei, the impression left by his brother on Chen Xiaoqing afterwards was not bad, but in any case, it was not good.

At this time, she simply used this ordinary cliché, meaning a pun, and first said that her brother was a "reckless", and then her brother came out, even though Chen Xiaoqing was surprised, she was blameless, but she would feel that her real words were listened to as clichés.

These scheming methods, she came by easily, and it was completely effortless, which was a natural skill.

At this time, the three of them stood quietly, waiting for the people inside to come out, the Xue family sisters secretly exchanged glances, but Chen Xiaoqing was thinking about what kind of person this brother of Baochai was.

She came to the garden and lived with the Xue sisters, and in this month's day, Baochai also mentioned her brother a few times, but she did not say a word.

I remember that not long after she lived in Wuyuan, she had not yet been to Aunt Xue's courtyard, and one day she heard Baochai mention that her brother had gone to Tianjin to do business.

A few days ago, Baochai mentioned again that his brother is back.

Just last night, Baochai laughed with Baoqin, saying that when his brother came back, he didn't stay home all day, but just ran outside.

Such a feeling of being full of shadows made her undoubtedly a little curious about Baochai's brother.

The cotton curtain in the upper bedroom moved, and two small servants came out of it, and then picked up the cotton curtain, and a figure paced out.

Baochai's gaze was the first to look over, and at the same time, he couldn't help but pray silently in his heart.

For today's scene, she has been planning for a long time, and she only hopes that the marriage between her brother and Chen Xiaoqing will finally come to fruition.
