In the main house of the inner courtyard of the second room, Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang were discussing things together.

"What, Baochai wants to run for the princess's companion?"

Mrs. Wang's face was full of surprise and she asked curiously, "Why haven't I heard of it?" ”

"Sister, I don't know, this is the latest news from the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

Aunt Xue smiled; "Baochai and I thought it was a good opportunity, so we wanted to give it a try!"

"I'm afraid it's not easy!"

Mrs. Wang didn't like it in her heart, but her face didn't show it in the slightest.

She has long regarded Xue Baochai as one of Baoyu's daughter-in-law reserve candidates, how can she support Xue Baochai as a princess companion?

If she is really chosen, Xue Baochai will get rid of her identity as a businesswoman, and with the Xue family's money as the confidence, she may be able to climb to the top of the branch.

This is not possible!

Xue Baochai is the reserve candidate for her daughter-in-law, how can she let it go easily?

What's more, she has already regarded the Xue family's property as something in her pocket, which is a huge property of millions of taels of silver, which just happened to make her son Baoyu suffer, how can she be cheaper for others?

What, you said that the property of the Xue family will be inherited by Xue Pan?

is just such a fool, as long as Mrs. Wang moves a little, she can make him die in vain, and when Xue Baochai marries Baoyu, how can the Xue family's property run away?

With such a vicious mind, Mrs. Wang not only came up with it, but even thought about a plan of action to kill Xue Pan, as for the intimacy between the two families, what is it compared to the huge sum of millions of taels of silver?

originally thought that it was a foolproof thing, but now there were suddenly twists and turns, and Xue Baochai actually wanted to choose a princess to accompany him, which was unreasonable.

The anger in his heart was churning, and all kinds of vicious thoughts came one after another, but his face was a kind posture, and it was difficult for outsiders to see the slightest bit.

Aunt Xue naturally didn't know that Mrs. Wang in front of her was so vicious, and she had already set her eyes on the Xue family's property.

"Yes, it's not easy to get Baochai selected, don't I just ask for my sister!"

Following Mrs. Wang's words, she smiled bitterly and spoke, took out a stack of large silver tickets directly from her cuffs, and pleaded: "Here are 30,000 taels of silver tickets, which are counted as the cost of my sister's operation, and I will thank you again after the matter is completed!" ”

Mrs. Wang's eyes flashed, and the depths of her gaze at the 30,000 taels of silver tickets were full of greed and determination.

The Xue family is really rich, and the shot is 30,000 taels, which is only the silver for the operation of the activity, if it is really old, it is not allowed to give about 50,000 thanks?

In his heart, he was even more determined to firmly control the Xue family in his hands.

Xue Baochai, the daughter-in-law, she is going to decide!

Even in Mrs. Wang's heart, she did not regard Xue Baochai as the right choice for her daughter-in-law, but as the target candidate for the second wife, and if possible, it would not be bad to even be an aunt.

Anyway, in her heart, Baoyu will have a great transformation in the future, so she naturally has to marry a noble girl, Xue Baochai's background is too low, and she still has a lot of heat if she wants to be Baoyu's main lady.

I had the idea of destroying Baochai's selection, but my face was impassive, and I readily agreed.

Aunt Xue was very happy, thanked and thanked again, and left in a hurry.

"Madam, do we really want to help Miss Xue operate?"

When there were no outsiders around, even the maid who was close to the marquis left, and Zhou Rui's family, who had been acting as a background board, quickly refilled the tea cup in front of Mrs. Wang, and then asked curiously.

On the table, the stack of large silver tickets of 30,000 taels is really eye-catching, and she has an urge to snatch it and count it when she glances at it from time to time.

Although her family is not short of silver, it is the first time that she has seen 30,000 taels of silver tickets.

What Mrs. Wang's temperament is, no one knows better than Zhou Rui's family.

is definitely a money fan, or the kind that sees money, dares to get any silver, and dares to do anything for silver.

If Madame Wang knew her thoughts, there might be many tragic consequences waiting for her.

"Huh, what's going on?"

Mrs. Wang put away the silver ticket and said angrily: "Good girl, what do you do to send it to the palace to do the work of the waiter, it is better to be a girl at home!" ”

Zhou Ruijia bowed his head and didn't dare to snort, but in his heart he was slanderous, and he said it nicely, what is Yuan Chun doing in the palace now, is it not the role of a waiter?

The history of the women in the queen's palace sounds good, but in fact, she is just a high-level palace maid.

The truth is such a truth, do you dare to say it in the Zhou Rui family, I'm afraid that Mrs. Wang is going to destroy her.

At this time, I am confused, and it is obviously not a good time to open my mouth to answer.

Mrs. Wang didn't think about any ideas of Zhou Rui's family, and said directly: "Find a way to make this matter worse, how can such a good girl as Baochai be sent to the palace to be rubbed?" ”

Zhou Rui's mouth opened wide, and he looked at Mrs. Wang with an incredulous face.

I've seen a ruthless face-turner, but I've never seen someone who turned his face so quickly, just now he was full of promises in front of Aunt Xue, turning his face not only reaps benefits but also spoils other people's good deeds, is this good?

"What, deaf and didn't hear?"

Seeing Zhou Rui's family's appearance, Mrs. Wang's eyes were cold and dissatisfied: "If Baochai really enters the palace and becomes a princess companion, you still want to get frequent rewards from the Xue family in the future, so dream of it!" ”

Zhou Rui's family suddenly nodded again and again to accompany him.

His face was full of flattering smiles, but his heart was cold, it turned out that his master had taken a fancy to the Xue family's money.

That's right, with Mrs. Wang's love of money and life, how could she let go of such a big fat sheep as the Xue family?

It's just that Aunt Xue seems to be Mrs. Wang's sister, and the previous benefits have not been less, but now she still has the intention of swallowing all the Xue family's money, isn't it too vicious?

Zhou Rui's family was frightened, and they didn't dare to behave abnormally in front of Mrs. Wang, if it attracted Mrs. Wang's suspicion, it would be very bad.

Vicious or not, anyway, it's not aimed at herself, Zhou Rui's family just feels worthless for Aunt Xue, and if she doesn't listen to Mrs. Wang's words because of this, she is not so bold.

It can only be said that the Xue family dug a pit and buried themselves by themselves, and they couldn't be left behind.

Who called the Xue family Since they settled in Rongguo Mansion, they have sprinkled all kinds of money to show off their wealth, and while winning a good reputation, they have also attracted Mrs. Wang's greedy nature.

With Zhou Rui's understanding of Mrs. Wang, it was not possible for Mrs. Wang to have the intention of killing Xue Pan and swallowing all the Xue family's money, thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder, and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

……

Here, Aunt Xue asked Mrs. Wang to help with the operation, and on the other hand, Xue Baochai personally visited Wang Xifeng, the purpose of which was also to be selected as the princess's companion.

She thinks differently from her mother, and she is not optimistic about her aunt's ability to operate, so it is better to ask her second cousin-in-law, who is in the fourth grade, to help.

If it is the original work, Mrs. Wang is in charge of the Rong Mansion alone, and she has mastered a lot of resources and contacts in the mansion, so maybe Xue Baochai will recognize the operation ability of her aunt Mrs. Wang.

But now the situation is different, the Xue family has been living in Rongguo Mansion for almost two years, and the situation in Rongfu is almost clear.

Don't look at the second room is still arrogant in the house, but in Xue Baochai's opinion, it is just a grasshopper after the autumn, and it won't last for a few days.

If it weren't for the support of the old lady, with the energy of the second room, he would have been driven out of the Rong Mansion a long time ago.

But the old lady is not young, and her sixties are definitely considered an advanced age in ancient times, and no one knows how long the old lady can live.

As long as you know the situation of Rongguo Mansion, you know that once the old lady goes, the second room will immediately have to get out of Rongfu, do you really think that the anger in Dafang's heart is a joke?

Besides, the second wife is not in charge of the house at this time, how much voice can she have outside with the energy of the second room?

There is an old lady in the house to support them, but there is no such mother outside the house who continues to support the arrogance and domineering of the second room, and it is obvious that the second room's activity ability outside is very average.

On the other hand, the big house, even if it is placed in the capital, is a force that people dare not ignore, especially the big man, who dare not be underestimated.

Xue Baochai didn't expect to invite the eldest master, as long as he could let Lian's second cousin-in-law help find out the news.

How to say, Lian's second cousin-in-law is also a fourth-grade official, and he has a lot of connections and connections in Beijing, and it is quite easy and simple to inquire about the situation in the Internal Affairs Office.

Of course, Xue Baochai has a lot of vision, and the same 30,000 taels of silver was auctioned, but the effect was much stronger than Aunt Xue's.

At least, whether Wang Xifeng looked at the affection of his relatives or the activity funds of 30,000 taels of silver, he smiled so sincerely that he promised that he would definitely let Lian Er help find out the situation, and he would tell the truth whether he succeeded or not.

Such a statement made Xue Baochai very satisfied, and naturally returned happily.

When Lian Er returned home, he listened to Wang Xifeng's relay, and saw the 30,000 taels of silver tickets with his own eyes, and couldn't help but praise Miss Xue for being bright enough, but it was not difficult to find out the news to help operate, so Wang Xifeng told Xue Baochai that he took the job.

Lian Er is much stronger than the original book, and he has been an official of Shuntian Mansion for many years, plus he is also a lord of Rongguo Mansion, and he is quite sleek and clever, and he has made some so-called friends.

It's not even a good idea to ask these friends and relationships to be like each other, but it's quite easy and easy to ask them to help find out some news that is not secret.

Choosing a companion for the princess is not a big deal at all, and the Internal Affairs Office is also very face-saving, and Lian Er can easily get some very core information.

After returning home, he passed this information to Xue Baochai's ears through Wang Xifeng, so that Xue Baochai knew first-hand information about the selection of the princess by the Internal Affairs Office.

On the other hand, on Mrs. Wang's side, every time Aunt Xue went to ask, she was perfunctory with the excuse that she was helping to operate, and Xue Baochai was suspicious but had no exit.

It's just that soon, a very bad news came from Lian Er's side, making her flustered and not bothering to pay attention to anything else.
