102 Why is it so complicated?
The sheep girl is also a person who likes poetry and books, and she is very compatible with Lin Daiyu.
Lin Daiyu introduced to her that the fruit of the different kapok was as big as a grapefruit, hanging upside down on the bare branches, which was very spectacular.
When the fruit is ripe, the thick skin falls off naturally, and a white flocculent mass stands out, white and dazzling.
Hanging from the branches, like ripe and cracked cotton balls, these flocs are softer and warmer than real cotton, and can be used to fill pillows.
Lin Daiyu promised to give a few to the sheep girl when the fruits of the different kapok were ripe next year.
The little girl always likes something strange and beautiful, and the sheep girl is very happy and hurriedly thanks.
Of course, with these common words, the two scholars quoted scriptures everywhere, and would make a few lines of poetry and words, Xue Baobao was a little unable to interject, and when he was bored, Mrs. Zhen's maid came.
Xue Baobao told the two top students that he was going to change his clothes and meet Mrs. Zhen, who also used excuses to change clothes.
Mrs. Zhen saw her and hurriedly told her what had just happened, and Xue Baobao only felt that the taste in her heart was complicated and difficult to understand.
The Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager Yang obviously fancy Lin Daiyu, but today Mrs. Yang came to mention herself, if she said that there was no treasure handwriting, she didn't believe it.
Bao, I want to marry her......
Seeing that she was as silent as Mrs. Xue, Mrs. Zhen suddenly became anxious, pulled her sleeve and said hurriedly, "Girl, you can't be confused!" Even if, even if - you have to think of a way out! β
Mrs. Zhen's meaning is very clear, even if she really wants to repent of her marriage and climb high, she has to sweep her tail clean, otherwise she will suffer endlessly, and it will be difficult for Xue Baobao to gain a foothold even if she becomes a princess.
Xue Baobao only thought that she was the same as Yu Xin, and didn't want her to go to the royal family to be wronged, so he smiled comfortingly at Mrs. Zhen, "Aunt Zhen don't worry, it's been so long, Aunt Zhen should also know, how can my wife and I be such people who climb high and attach? β
Although the two of them said their own things, they were able to match each other, Mrs. Zhen was immediately relieved, and when the girl said this, she was relieved.
Xue Baobao thanked Mrs. Zhen, asked people to find Xue Shen's family to give a few words, and then returned to Lin Daiyu and the sheep girl, and said with a smile, "It's strange cold outside, Daiyu, let's take the sheep girl back to drink a cup of hot tea, don't catch the wind."
Lin Daiyu listened to her the most, and immediately took the sheep girl back, while Xue Baobao deliberately fell.
They all went back, and the wives naturally went back too.
Xue Shen's family took the opportunity to step forward and said that Mrs. Xue should take a look at the dishes in the kitchen.
Mrs. Xue followed her out of the warm pavilion, and after walking for a short time, she saw Xue Baobao waiting on the side of the road.
Xue Baobao motioned to the Xue Shen family and the others to retreat and guard the surroundings, and asked straight to the point, "Mom, did Mrs. Yang say that she wants me to be the main concubine or the side concubine for the Seventh Prince?" β
Mrs. Xue was stunned, could it still be a side concubine?
Xue Baobao didn't wait for her to react, and said, "According to my identity, it is impossible to be a concubine for the Seventh Prince, at most a side concubine, or a concubine."
Mrs. Xue subconsciously retorted, "Brother Xin is the commander of the Jinyi Guard of Sanpin."
Xue Baobao sighed, "Sanpin? Commander? Big brother? β
Xue Baobao's meaning was to ask Mrs. Xue to remember clearly that Yu Xin is only her brother-in-law now, and in the eyes of outsiders, she is different from her own brother.
Mrs. Xue heard it in her ears, but what she thought of was Jia Lian's back and forth words a few days ago, and she only felt a hot pain on her face.
If she repented of her marriage for the Seventh Prince, how could Brother Xin still treat her as a mother?
The so-called hatred of killing his father and taking his wife, Brother Xin is obviously very satisfied with this family business, if she really took it away from him, he would be kind-hearted if he didn't retaliate against the Xue family, how could he support the Xue family wholeheartedly like now?
Mrs. Xue thought of the awe, fear, and horror when she first saw Yu Xin, and she was even more frightened.
Yu Xin is kind and filial at home, she has forgotten what he looks like in front of outsiders, but she is afraid that it will be difficult to be good when the time comes!
"Mom, if I really marry the Seventh Prince, it may be difficult to go home again in this life, even if I become a concubine, what's the use of getting that heavenly wealth? Does Mrs. really want Sister Zhen and Sister Lin to retire and die? β
Mrs. Xue was speechless, Xue Baobao reached out and grabbed her arm, "Don't say it, Mrs. Yang didn't say anything about the concubine at all."
Even if it is really a concubine, can my mother guarantee that I can be favored by the prince for the rest of my life, and can I be guaranteed to marry without being wronged?
In the future, I will marry in the capital, I don't have to be a big family, the key is to have a clean family, my in-laws are kind, and I want to go home.
When the time comes, Mom, you will be by my side, and you can protect me in everything, wouldn't it be better than marrying the Seventh Prince and fighting for an unattainable wealth? β
Xue Baobao said and put his head on Mrs. Xue's shoulder, and asked softly, "Mom, let me accompany you, okay?" β
Mrs. Xue's eyes were red, and she reached out to rub her snow-white and tender face, "Mom knows, Mom knows, the most important thing is that my son can stay by my side safely, healthy and happy."
Since my son doesn't want that wealth and wealth, what's the use of my mother wanting it? Mom, I'm going to refuse Mrs. Sheep! β
Xue Baobao held her hand, her mother, although she would be snobbish and greedy for glory and wealth, but she was kind in nature, could listen to persuasion, and put her children first in everything, and it was her blessing to be her mother.
Mrs. Xue was afraid that it would be a long time for people to discuss, so after returning to the warm pavilion, she asked Mrs. Yang to take a step to speak.
directly confessed the fact that Xue Baobao had already decided on his family, but he did not clearly say which family Xue Baobao had set.
Mrs. Yang was secretly annoyed that she didn't know how to lift, what if she was engaged, and she was not married, so she reluctantly smiled, "Family, it has to be decided after a small decision, there is always room for change before, Mrs. Xue still thinks about it again."
Mrs. Xue shook her head calmly, she had already figured it out, and her daughter was unwilling to fight for that wealth and glory, so naturally she would not be shaken by Mrs. Yang's words.
"Mrs. Yang, the reputation of my daughter's family is precious, and there is no reason to regret her relatives for no reason.
I also ask Mrs. Yang to tell the Queen Mother, my Xue family is deeply grateful to the Queen Mother, only Sister Bao is not blessed, and I also ask the Queen Mother to forgive her sins."
Mrs. Yang was advised by Queen Yang, so she naturally refused to give up easily, and persuaded for a long time, but Mrs. Xue only refused to let go.
Although Mrs. Yang is well-raised, she is also secretly annoyed when she sees her so ignorant of lifting.
It's just that she didn't dare to spoil the matter of the Queen Mother Yang easily, and broke the instructions of the Queen Mother, so she endured it without getting angry, and had lunch in Xue's mansion, and then took her daughter to say goodbye and leave.

β¦β¦
In the palace, the treasure building took the trap box from Sun Xiaosheng's chest, opened it, and the handwriting of Nanxing dog crawling appeared.
After reading the ten lines of the treasure building, the corners of his mouth curled.
He knew that with the queen mother and the imperial sister-in-law, the two women, where were the opponents of Xue Shizhu?
Bao Gong went to Cining Palace with a happy heart to accompany the Queen Mother Yang for dinner.
The dinner was very sumptuous with a total of 36 dishes.
Bao Bao saw an eight-treasure sea cucumber at a glance, the color and presentation were very similar to Xue Baobao's, so he stretched out his chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of sea cucumber.
As soon as he entered, he frowned unconsciously.
It wasn't made by Lord Xue-
Although he knew that it was impossible for Xue Shizhu to enter the palace at this time to cook dinner for him, when he saw this plate of eight-treasure sea cucumbers, he couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.
Bao Bao put down his chopsticks, ordered another pair of chopsticks, and picked up the rice bowl.
Maybe it was really Xue Shizhu who spoiled his appetite, and he would rather eat some less people than eat these dishes that were not cooked by Xue Shizhu.
He's been nibbling on the fruit for months, and the white riceβ
Bao Yuan thought, the peach blossom who has always been gentle and compassionate has nine points of distressing melancholy in her eyes.
Empress Dowager Yang was distressed when she saw it, and hurriedly asked, "What?" Not appetizing either? β
She finally found a highly prestigious cook from the people, and just watched her son stretch out his chopsticks, and thought it had finally worked, but it turned out to be a white joy again!
Bao Bao said, "It's not the cook of the Xue family, it's been many days, how long will it take for the queen mother to bring that cook into the palace?" β
Queen Sheep, "......"
In the expectant gaze of her son, the Queen Mother Yang really couldn't tell a lie, and she didn't want to disappoint her son, so she had to repeat what Yu Xin said.
has repeatedly emphasized that she has handed over the matter to Queen Yang, and she will definitely be able to make the treasure house get what she wants.
Bao Yuan was puzzled, "Leave it to the imperial sister-in-law?" What can the imperial sister-in-law do? Tie up Miss Xue to the palace, don't let Commander Yu know? β
The Empress Dowager Yang was speechless, and Bao Bao asked again, "Queen Mother, it's been so many days, why don't you call the imperial sister-in-law to ask how things are going?" β
Queen Yang didn't come to report the good news, and Queen Yang didn't think she had done her errand, but her son was earnest, so she could only agree.
Queen Yang had just received the news from her mother-in-law in the evening, and was thinking about how to take further action, when she heard that Queen Mother Yang was summoned.
She hurried over, and when she saw that the treasure building was also seated, her scalp immediately went numb.
Sure enough, what are you afraid of!
Queen Yang originally thought that she would be lured by power, and the Xue family was born in a merchant and valued profit and power, so she would definitely take the bait.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xue didn't let go, she was angry and irritable, angry that the Xue family didn't know how to lift, and she was irritable and didn't know how to reply to the Queen Mother.
However, the Empress Dowager Yang chose to ask today, but she couldn't shirk it, so she had to answer vaguely, "Miss Xue has already decided on a family affair, I originally thought that Miss Xue's family affair did not spread the news, but I thought that it was just a verbal word, and I couldn't do it accurately, so I invited my mother to find out."
Miss Xue's identity is not as good as it, and being a side concubine with Xiao Qi is a great honor, and there is no one in their family who is unwilling-"
When Queen Yang said this, she suddenly felt a chill behind her, and subconsciously paused her voice to look up, but saw that Bao Gong was looking at her with a smile in her eyes.
She was a little puzzled, and a little frightened, the gaze full of malice and even murderous intent she noticed just now was Xiao Qi?
No, it can't be, right?
It doesn't make sense!
Queen Sheep quickly recalled her words, and didn't find anything wrong, well, it should just be her illusion-
Queen Yang looked at the treasure building with anxiety, "What did Xiao Qi look at me?" β
The treasure building is put together, "Amitabha, the Buddha taught, it is better to demolish seven temples than to destroy a marriage, and the imperial sister-in-law does not have to do such things that hurt yin and morality for the poor monks."
Queen Yang suddenly turned purple, she didn't care about what hurt Yin Virtue, or not hurt Yin Virtue, but she didn't like someone to say to her face that she was doing things that hurt Yin Virtue, and she didn't like this person to say it in front of the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager Yang frowned, and she didn't want the treasure to offend the Empress Yang because of a simple sentence, so she hurriedly reprimanded, "Xiao Qi, don't talk nonsense!"
The so-called family has a hundred female families, and your imperial sister-in-law is just asking people to ask, and she has never forced people with power.
It's your aunt who invites you, what a noble status? How could it have been as unbearable as you said? Don't hurry up and apologize to your imperial sister-in-law! β
She is old, and Xiao Qi will one day still have to rely on the emperor and queen to take care of her.
The treasure tower stood up and folded together, and said with a sincere attitude, "Amitabha, it was a poor monk who lost his words, and asked the imperial sister-in-law to forgive his sins!" β
Queen Yang hurriedly put on a smiling face, got up and returned the salute, and said with a smile, "Xiao Qitian is so beautiful, how can the imperial sister-in-law blame, and how can she forgive her sins?" β
Empress Dowager Yang nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, the most important thing for a family is to be harmonious."
Xiao Qi, the queen is not only your imperial sister-in-law, but also your cousin-in-law, you were seriously ill when you were a child, and the queen traveled thousands of miles to Shennong Mountain to take care of you in person, you must remember your imperial sister-in-law's great kindness."
Bao Bao raised his eyes and looked at Queen Yang seriously, "If the queen mother doesn't say it, the poor monk has always remembered that if it wasn't for the imperial sister-in-law to take care of it, the poor monk said that it would be gone long ago."
The pupils of the treasure are a very gentle amber color, as if they are plated with a layer of honey, so seriously and gratefully looking at the sheep queen, the sheep queen only feels that her heart is sweetened by the honey in his eyes, where is the anger just now?
Xiao Qi grew up isolated from the world, struggling on the verge of death every day, surrounded by slaves, innocent, sincere and straightforward.
This is his benefit, how can she really get angry because of his unintentional words?
"What do you remember or not, our cousins, if you are so foreign, I will be angry!"
The Queen of the Sheep smiled, but her tone was much more sincere than just now.
Empress Dowager Yang counted a few more words of the treasure building, and asked, "What is the truth about Miss Xue's family affairs?" Which one to order? β
As soon as this kind of thing was investigated, it was known that Queen Yang didn't dare to be perfunctory at all, and replied stubbornly, "But it has really been decided, but Mrs. Xue didn't specify which one to decide."
Empress Dowager Yang sighed in disappointment, if she could really ask that Miss Xue to be Xiao Qi's side concubine, it would not be bad.
Although her background is a little worse, nothing is as good as Xiao Qi's health, not to mention, she has also met Miss Xue twice, and her appearance is indeed outstanding.
Bao Yuan looked at the Queen Mother Yang suspiciously, "Queen Mother, why do you want to make it so complicated?" As long as the queen mother makes a decree, can't Miss Xue enter the palace to accompany her? β
Empress Dowager Yang sighed, "It's simple now, but next year you will leave the palace to build a mansion, and in the future, you will leave Beijing to go to the country, what will you do then?" β
Bao Yuan thought for a while and said, "That's easy, the queen mother first ordered Miss Xue to enter the palace to accompany her, and then said that Miss Xue had a meritorious accompaniment and gave the title of princess, then Miss Xue can be regarded as the righteous sister of the poor monk."
When the poor monk left the palace to build a mansion, he built the mansion next to Xue's mansion, and the righteous brother went to the righteous sister's house for dinner, and they would never refuse.
As for leaving Beijing to go to the country, don't the poor monks need to leave Beijing to go to the country if they don't marry the princess? β
