While the Xiuguo Mansion was drunk, the other Baochai had been carried into the Rongguo Mansion.

At this moment, in the inner courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, everyone in the Jia family, including Jia's mother, was waiting under the corridor in the cold wind.

"Old lady, Miss Xue has already entered the mansion!" There is a girl to tell you.

Nodding, Mother Jia looked out expectantly, and so did Aunt Xue beside her.

"This time, Bao Yatou is back, but I have to let her stay for a few more days!" Madame Wang smiled and spoke.

However, when her voice fell, she heard Mrs. Xing say: "Let's talk about staying for a few days, we have to see that Bao Yatou has taken a few days off, we can't delay the time!" ”

At this time, Jia Mu sighed: "Yes...... Bao girl is deeply liked by the queen, but I am afraid that I will not be able to live long when I come back this time! ”

Hearing this, the happiest person was Aunt Xue, who was satisfied that her daughter was really good.

Hearing these words from the elders, Daiyu, who was standing behind, couldn't help but feel sad, she thought that she could stay with Baochai for a few more days.

"Sister Bao is here!" I only listened to Tanchun's whispered reminder.

Daiyu looked around, and sure enough, she saw Baochai wearing a cloak and carrying a skirt through the hall.

"Yo...... Sister Xue is back! ”

Wang Xifeng took the initiative to greet him, followed by the plainly dressed Li Kun, and the two of them pulled Baochai to Jia's mother left and right.

Seeing Jia's mother waiting, Baochai quickened her pace, approached and said with trepidation: "On such a cold day, how can the ancestor wait outside, if it is frozen...... Isn't it the great fault of the younger generation! ”

Jia Mu had a smile on her face and said, "Bao girl, my body is hard-boned, don't worry about it......"

At this time, Aunt Xue reminded: "Baochai...... Don't hurry up and say hello to the old lady! ”

At this moment, someone had already put up the mat, and when Baochai heard this, he knelt down and saluted: "Ancestor Nafu!" ”

"Get up, get up...... It's cool on the ground! ”

At this time, Jia's mother also spoke: "Quick, greet your mother, she will always remember you!" ”

So Baochai turned around again and bowed to Aunt Xue: "Daughter to meet mother!" ”

"Excuse me, excuse me!" Aunt Xue walked down the steps and personally helped her daughter up.

After Baochai got up, Jia's mother reached out to pull Baochai, and the latter immediately greeted her and hugged Jia's mother into the living room with everyone.

After entering the living room and taking a seat, Baochai was pulled by Jia Mu to sit on her side, and Daiyu was on the other side.

Everyone first asked Baochai about her life in the palace, then asked if she got along with the princess, and asked about a few attendants......

Everyone asked nonsense, and Baochai responded thoughtfully one by one, and Jia Mu nodded again and again.

About half an hour later, when Jia Mu felt in bad spirits, she let everyone disperse.

Baochai was able to follow her mother back, just now everyone was talking and laughing, but their mother and daughter didn't say a few words.

Compared with everyone who asked broadly, Aunt Xue asked a lot more carefully, first concerned about her food and clothing, and then asked if she had been wronged.

Sitting down in the living room at this moment, holding the waist card of Kunning Palace and looking at it repeatedly, Aunt Xue couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "You can be on an errand in Kunning Palace, and you can see the queen mother from time to time, this is really not easy!" ”

Even if it is a senior wife who has received a real job in the family, she has to wait in line to see the queen, and it is even more difficult to enter the palace once like the Jia family.

Aunt Xue sighed, and then she heard Baochai ask, "Mother...... Our house has been cleaned up, right? ”

"It's been cleaned up, and Brother Ling has also purchased a lot of furnishings and utensils in the past two days!" Aunt Xue replied.

Seeing his mother, Baochai said slowly: "In this way, we can move over at any time!" ”

Aunt Xue was stunned, but she only took a sip of the teacup and did not respond positively to this question.

"Mother...... You have a word! ”

Aunt Xue could only reply, "This ...... Your aunt has kept her many times, saying that if you stay longer, I won't be able to shirk it! ”

"Besides, you and I have no relatives in Beijing, and I will have to rely on your uncle and them to help me in the future, so I will stay for a few more days now...... It's not a bad thing! ”

Aunt Xue has this idea, in fact, it is not too outrageous, after all, Rubaochai can see the subtle knowledge of the minority.

Baochai could only continue to persuade: "Mother...... Even if you want to live, can't you go to your uncle's house? ”

In Baochai's opinion, if you really want to cling to anyone, the uncle who leads the high-level substantive position in the army is much more useful than the Jia family.

However, the problem is that after coming to Beijing, except for basic etiquette, the Xue family rarely contacted the Wang family.

"Your uncle's house...... Alas, there are some things you don't know! Aunt Xue sighed.

"What do I not know?" Baochai asked curiously.

Sighing, Aunt Xue explained: "When your father was here, your uncle borrowed money from our family, but your father refused!" ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Why didn't Dad borrow it? ”

Baochai was even more curious, and in her impression, her father was not a stingy person.

"Your uncle was in a hurry to ask for 50,000 silver, at that time our family had just purchased 1,000 acres of land, and also purchased a large number of goods from the West, and the current silver was only more than 30,000 yuan......

"Your father took out the 30,000 yuan, and your uncle asked your father to borrow 20,000 yuan from the internal deposit, but your father didn't agree...... Your uncle walked away! ”

In the era of Xue Zhen's housekeeper, even if you don't count the internal deposits, the Xue family's activity funds are about 150,000, and normally you can easily lend 50,000.

However, it was really unfortunate that the prince came to Teng, and the cash flow was used a lot by Xue Zhen to buy a family business, and it was not easy for the latter to be willing to come up with 30,000 yuan.

Xue Baochai really didn't know about this matter, but he didn't know when he was not so affectionate with his uncle's family.

"Why does my uncle ask for so much silver? Could it be that the Wang family is so short of money? Baochai asked again.

"He's here to run for office, alas...... It's all old things, so I don't need to mention it anymore! ”

Aunt Xue's voice fell, but she heard someone outside say, "The second wife is here!" ”

Now that Jia Zheng has become the second master, Mrs. Wang naturally became the second wife.

"Your aunt is here, go and meet her......"

When Baochai walked to the door, Mrs. Wang had already gone up the steps, and when she saw her niece, she immediately smiled.

"Auntie, this niece is going to see you, why are you here!"

"I have a few silver fox skins there, as if it was cold today...... I'm just going to make you a jacket! ”

looked behind Mrs. Wang, and sure enough, the girls who followed were each holding a brocade box.

"Auntie...... It's too precious, or ......"

Before Baochai finished speaking, Mrs. Wang interrupted: "Eh...... What is precious or not, you are my niece, shouldn't I love you? ”

"Let's go...... Let's go in and talk! ”

This is called graciousness, if Baochai insists on refusing, it seems that she is not very close.

But in her heart, she really didn't want to accept her aunt's kindness.

On the one hand, I don't want to owe favors, and on the other hand, I don't want to have anything to do with Jia Baoyu.

"Auntie, please!"

Baochai stepped aside, and Mrs. Wang entered the room and laughed with her sister-in-law again.

Of course, this time Mrs. Wang mainly came for Baochai, so she always led the words to Baochai.

asked Baochai about the details, and seeing that Baochai behaved generously and responded thoughtfully, Mrs. Wang didn't want to be more satisfied.

Baochai will not be able to leave the palace for at least two or three years, and by that time Baoyu has grown up, and it is very suitable for the two to get married...... Madame Wang thought so.

My aunt asked too much...... However, Baochai's mood is completely different from that of Mrs. Wang.

She only felt depressed when she stayed here, so she thought about finding a reason to go out for a walk and visit Daiyu by the way.
