In the courtyard where the Xue family lives in Jia's house, there is another gate that leads directly to the outer street, and the Xue family usually enters and exits from this door.

On the day Baochai entered the palace to run for the election, after going to ask Aunt Xue for peace, he left directly from this gate.

No one from the Xue family or the Jia family sent her, only Qingwen and Daiyu came over.

Mrs. Wang was probably so angry that she didn't want to see her, but Aunt Xue was afraid of Mrs. Wang's obscenity and didn't dare to come to see her.

Baochai is dressed in dust, and it is still homely clothes.

The bun is also an ordinary bun, with a silver hairpin inserted, and no fat powder is applied to the face.

Of course, she will go to Zizhuxuan to dress up first, and then go to the palace.

Zizhuxuan is all ready, and someone will guide Baochai to the room specially prepared for her.

Qingwen didn't go with her, this matter must not be hidden, but it is a while to be able to hide it.

Seeing Baochai leave, Daiyu's beautiful eyes flashed: "Sister Bao deceived her second aunt like this, aren't you afraid that the second aunt will know and blame her?" ”

"If she is elected, no matter which prince she is, she is a royal person, does the second wife dare to criticize her? I'm afraid I'll have to rush to slap her, right? ”

Qingwen said quietly, "Sister Bao is a bold person, she just wants to gamble." If you don't grasp the opportunity in time, it's fleeting, and if you don't gamble, who knows if you can make it? ”

"Isn't that sister afraid that the second aunt will hold a grudge? If you hide it from Sister Bao, she will always know. Daiyu was worried.

"Don't be afraid."

Qingwen stroked her sideburns and said softly, "Don't worry, even if I don't do anything, she will look at us sisters unpleasantly." Let's get ready and get out of the house at any time. ”

Qingwen and Daiyu sent Baochai away, and went to Jia's mother to say goodbye.

Along the way, there was no one to be seen.

Although it was not much lively in the past, it was quieter than before.

"Where have all the people gone?" Daiyu wondered.

It wasn't until they entered Jia's mother's courtyard that the two of them knew that they had gathered here.

The yard was full, and the house was even fuller.

The old, the young, the up, the down, the crowd squeezed a lot of people.

Aunt Xue and Mother Jia sat opposite each other, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang only sat on the two chairs in front of the door, Tanchun and other sisters sat on the kang, and Baoyu nested in Mother Jia's arms.

The housekeeper of Jiafu, Lai's mother, etc., and several elderly and decent mothers also sat on a few small pestles next to them.

There was a lot of ground standing underground, You Shi, Li Kun, Sister Feng, etc., and several young daughters-in-law had no choice but to sit underground.

Mother Jia laughed: "I sent someone to invite you all today, not for anything else, thinking that the second year of junior high school is Feng Yatou's birthday, and I wanted to do her birthday for the past two years, but there was a big event in front of me, so I got past." This year, there are all kinds of people, and it's okay, so let's all have a good day. ”

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "The old lady remembers the phoenix girl, she has been married all these years, has been in charge of housework, and celebrated the birthday of others, but she didn't give her a good time, this old lady is happy, why not discuss it, how to do it?" ”

Mother Jia squinted, walked around the room, and said with a smile: "I think, in previous years, no matter who made the birthday, they all gave their own gifts, which is also vulgar, and I feel very raw." Now I'll come up with a new method, which doesn't give birth to points, and can have fun. ”

Everyone laughed: "The old lady has seen a lot, and the method she has come up with must be the best." ”

Jia Mu smiled: "I thought, let's also learn from that little family, everyone gets together, we even pay for the girls and servants in each courtyard of the family, whether it is more or less depends on everyone's heart." How much money can be done, are you good or not? ”

Lai's mother and several other elderly servants laughed and quipped, "I said that the old lady sent someone to call us early in the morning, why?" But are you worried about our money?

Since the old lady is happy, let's make up, and by giving the second grandmother a birthday, a few of us old guys are also happy. ”

The family style of Jiafu, the old servant, is more decent than the young master.

Lai Da's mother and others had served Jia's mother and other masters in the early years, and they spoke naturally and casually.

Everyone laughed at what she said, and they all echoed and asked the old lady to quickly take the lead, set the amount of money for everyone, and paid the money early and got ready.

The mandarin duck glanced at Qingwen and nodded to her secretly.

Qingwen knew that the old lady was using this excuse to gather everyone over and cover up for her and Baochai.

The two of them operated in private, although the old lady didn't know the details, but she was also worried about it.

Today, when Baochai enters the palace, these two little ones will always have some movements, and they can't let others have time to disturb them.

……

At the moment, Mother Jia and Aunt Xue each paid 20 taels, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang contributed 16 taels, and Li Kun and You Shi each paid 12 taels.

The old lady hurriedly said to Li Kun: "Your widow is unemployed, where can you pull out this money?" I'll go out for you. ”

Sister Feng hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't be happy, old lady, and settle the account before taking care of the matter." You already have two points on you, and this time you will give out twelve taels for your sister-in-law, saying that you are happy, and you will feel distressed when you think about it for a while. Later, he said, 'It's all for Feng Yatou', and he made a clever trick to coax me to take out three or four molecules to make up for it secretly, and I still dreamed. ”

Everyone laughed as he spoke.

Daiyu hurriedly said: "I don't need the old lady to pay for my part, I'm also older, and I don't need the old lady to pay for me." I'll give as much as my sisters out. ”

The old lady said: "That's it, then the jade girl will come out by herself, and they don't have many sisters, just one person will pay a month's monthly silver." ”

Qingwen, Tanchun and others also said: "This is natural, and it can't be missing a month." ”

Seeing this, Baoyu also said: "Then I don't need the old lady to come out of my share, I will also issue a monthly case for a month." ”

"It's rare that our brother Bao has grown up," Sister Feng said with a smile, "The eldest sister-in-law's share, you don't need the old lady to come out, just let me come out." ”

You Shi smiled: "It's rare for Feng Lazi to be generous, let's do what she wants." ”

The girls with heads and faces in the family also got their own parts, one or two, and some two.

Even Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou also made up their own one.

A total of more than 150 taels of silver were scraped together, and they couldn't be used up after a lot of work to sit on the table and watch the play.

So, Mother Jia designated You to be the master and handle Sister Feng's birthday.

Qingwen finally found the main plot and carefully recalled what happened that day.

She wants to help Sister Feng get rid of the tragic ending, and she is sincere.

There are some things that she has to plan in advance, and she can't think of them until the end of the day.

……

On the first day of Baochai's entry into the palace, he did not go home.

The eunuch in the palace came to pass the decree, saying that there was a lady in the palace who liked Miss Bao, and specially asked the queen to keep her in the palace
