Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 385 Baochai enters the mansion, Daiyu is jealous

In the Xiaoxiang Hall, all the girls were chatting and laughing around Aunt Xue and Daiyu.

Baochai saw a person quietly guarding the incense burner, so she didn't join them in the fun.Girl Bao was afraid that she would be left out here, so she went over to sit down in front of her with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's still very cold today, why did you change all the clips?"

Xiuyan asked, but bowed her head and did not answer.

Baochai knew that there was another reason, so she smiled again: "It must be because I didn't get the monthly money this month, so the elder sister-in-law and the third girl took over, but there was incomplete calculation."

Xiuyan shook her head, is it a problem between the third girl and sister-in-law Zhu.

"The monthly money is being given to me every day. Because my aunt sent someone to tell me: I can't spend two taels of silver a month, so I asked me to save one tael and give it to my parents. If I want to use it, I have my second sister's things anyway, so I can buy some." Just put it on and do it."

Baochai's mind was clear, and she asked, "How many places do I have around me?"

Xing Xiuyan explained: "My sister thinks: Second sister is an honest person, and she doesn't pay much attention. Although she doesn't say anything when I give her things, which one of the second sister's maids and mothers is easy? Which one is not talking about it?" Pointy? Although I was in that room, I didn’t dare to order them around. After three or five days, I’d have to take some money out to buy wine and snacks for them. Therefore, two taels of silver a month is not enough Yes. Now I’ve gone for another one or two, and the day before yesterday I quietly asked people to pawn off my cotton clothes for a few pennies.”

Baochai looked at Yingchun who was watching the excitement in the corner over there. This sister was soft-tempered, but she was manipulated by the girl and woman in the room.

She smiled and said: "The sharp-mouthed pecking master in the west needs to be cured. Now Feng girl is worshiping the queen of acne, so it's not good to ask her to come up with a plan. You can't trust me like this, and you will get sick sooner or later. Wait We will wait for Yinger to come back and let her go to Hengwu Garden to get some jackets."

Seeing that Xiuyan was about to refuse, Baochai quickly took her cold hand and said, "Is it okay for me to send my sister some old clothes? Those clothes are all from Jinling, but they forgot about my figure. I can't wear even one piece. I think my sister's figure is well-dressed, so don't be disgusted by my sister."

Come on.Aunt Xue also mentioned to Baochai that Xue Pan is not young now, and he doesn't know if he has made a name for himself outside.Seeing that Xiuyan was born elegantly and steadily, and her family was poor, she was the daughter of a hairpin and thorn skirt cloth, so she wanted to propose Xue Pan as his wife.

Baochai also saw Xiuyan's simple nature, so she couldn't fault it.

However, Xue Pansu used to stop extravagance, and he was afraid that his daughter would be ruined.

So, this meeting reminds me of Brother Xue Biao in the hospital again, and I want to find a good matchmaker for Brother Xue Biao.

Xiuyan pondered Baochai's words in her mind, and after much deliberation, she readily accepted Baochai's kindness.She thanked her lightly, and said intimately, "Good sister."

Then he secretly looked at Baochai's figure, he was really rich.

Xue Baochai didn't see him, so he went to the lively crowd with Xiuyan, and just kept in touch with his sisters.

Daiyu, who was just recovering from a serious illness, couldn't help but look at Xiuyan a few more times, thinking that sister Bao was helping the Jia family to find out about Miss Xing.

Xiuyan was originally an elegant and dignified person, but his family was poor, and his parents were very drunk.On such occasions, it is inevitable that they are a little more rigid than before, even though they call each other sisters and sisters, they can't get in a few words.

After Baochai found out, she helped Xue Biao to play tricks on her, and led everyone to chat and make trouble with Xiuyan.

Such actions moved Xing Xiuyan so much.I can't help looking at Baochai a few more times, and feel intimate and cute, and even more different from others.

It's not surprising that Xiuyan thinks so.

Here, Baoqin and Daiyu are the natural protagonists, and there is an elder like Aunt Xue, who prefers Qin and Daiyu.Xiangyun is lively by nature, but he is still young after all.The third girl Tanchun is also enthusiastic, but she only minds her own affairs.

The second elder sister, Yingchun, can't say anything, she is clearly the first daughter of the mansion, but she shrinks into the corner like her poor relative.

The fourth girl, Xichun, is very quiet, and never came to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion at night.

The sisters of the Li family, Li Qi and Li Wen, are also guests, and they are taken care of by Grandma Zhu, Mrs. Li, so they live comfortably in this mansion.Even their mother is also loved by the old lady.

Let's talk about a few people drinking and making noise for a while, and everyone's faces were flushed.

At that time, the maid outside opened the curtain.

"Master Xiaorong is here."

Aunt Xue glanced at Daiyu and said happily, "Please invite him in."

All the girls in the room looked at each other, but they didn't know whether they should avoid it or not.

Xiangyun took Baochai and joked: "We don't have to avoid anything, we have met a few times in the past. But our sister Bao should avoid suspicion, so we can't face it in this meeting."

Baochai blushed and hummed, "Sooner or later, you will be here."

Xiangyun has always been straightforward, and laughed and said: "When I wait for that day, I will be different from my sister. We sisters can't even calculate the seniority."

All the girls laughed.

Du Daiyu watched with cold eyes, only to wake everyone up that there is still a grudge sitting here.

All of a sudden, they stopped laughing.

Aunt Xue smoothed things over and said, "Everyone has their own opinions. Brother Rong calls you aunts, and you call each other sisters."

"..."

Brother Rong entered the room, seeing the beauty and beauty of all the girls, he couldn't help feeling a little restrained.

Fortunately, when the excitement in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion was over, Tanchun, Yingchun, Xiuyan and others went back to their residences in the garden, Baochai and Xiangyun also went with them.Only Baoqin led the girl to the old lady's yard to the west.

Baochai didn't forget to bring Xiuyan a jacket, and when she returned to Hengwuyuan, she sent Yinger to carry it to Zilingzhou.

On the contrary, after Uncle Rong talked to Aunt Xue, all the outsiders left.Seeing Zicuckoo winking again, remembering what Aunt Xue said, she had to go to Daiyu's room.

"I'm not as handsome as Bao girl, and I'm not as clever as Feng girl. I won't be missed by others."

"Cough cough..."

"You have a cough too? The medicine I have left, boil it and take it by myself."

"Aunt Lin." Brother Rong called softly.

Daiyu, who was leaning on the head of the bed, suddenly had a bright red face, and she couldn't help humming when she thought about his actions again.Turning her back, she said to herself, "What are you doing here? I know in my heart that no other sisters are interesting. After all, Brother Rong doesn't care about me."

this girl...

Brother Rong didn't know how to respond to this sentence.Rao is an expert in the rivers and lakes, but when facing Daiyu, he feels that he has nowhere to use his strength.

After all, it is not enough skill.

But Daiyu didn't hear his voice, turned around and continued: "Look, you just complained a few times, and you don't even want to talk to me. In the past, you said you put people in your heart, but it was just a moment of leisure. Just perfunctory."

Xiao Nizi's memory is really good.

I still remember what I said a few years ago.

Brother Rong walked over slowly, went to the bed and squatted down.Asked embarrassingly, "Auntie's cough is healed?"

I'm completely out of words, I really don't know what to say.

Daiyu was the only one who could force a veteran like Uncle Rong to this level.

"I wish it was all right." Daiyu snorted.

Brother Rong squatted quietly for a while, also thinking about the matter between himself and Daiyu.Seeing her playful, she couldn't help laughing.In fact, it would be nice to have such a person by my side.

At least life will be more colorful.

Now he can also see it, with the promotion of the official position, and because of the matter of going to Mobei to marry.Regardless of whether Sister Feng, Keqing, Baochai and others seem to have changed their behavior a lot, they all seem to follow him deliberately.

Du Daiyu is still as usual.

Still the same as before, there will be absolutely no shortage of yin and yang moments.

Brother Rong said softly: "The courtyard on the east side has been cleaned up long ago, and the other furnishings are also complete. My aunt occasionally goes to have fun, but it saves me a day of running around. With Sister Baochai and Feng, my aunt will not be bored when she goes there. .”

After saying this, as expected, Daiyu couldn't help blinking her eyes, and there was a special light in them.

But Daiyu said, "If you have something to go to the east, you don't squeeze there."

A duplicity woman.

No girl.

Brother Rong smiled lightly and said, "Auntie has something special to order, so that the mansion can prepare it in advance. It also saves Auntie from having troubles when she moves in."

Daiyu thought for a moment, and immediately forgot what she said just now.He frowned and said, "It's nothing more than poetry, dictionaries, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and a room for painting."

Brother Rong asked, "What else?"

"And..." Daiyu was stunned for a moment, but she couldn't think of anything else, and stared straight at Brother Rong.

Brother Rong touched his nose, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.She replied embarrassingly: "Everything will be taken care of. If Auntie thinks of anything else, you can ask Miss Zijuan to talk to Ruizhu and Baozhu in the next few days."

Daiyu was happy inside, but also a little unhappy, feeling as if she was in a hurry to go.

There is nowhere to tell his mind.

It's just that the more she looked at Brother Rong's face, the redder her own face became.

……

On this day, Dong Mansion was overjoyed, it was very lively.

Among them, the wives of the two prefectures also have different expressions, and their thoughts are extremely complicated.

Uncle Rong should not take care of those things, it just made Baochai and Yinger tired all night.Even Daiyu, who was in the courtyard next door, tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night.

The next day, Daiyu came to look for her early in the morning, but she only knew that Brother Rong and Baochai got up early, but Miss Yinger never left the room.

The east side was lively for several days, during which Uncle Rong also got news from Lai Sheng.

"The Zhang family returned the marriage certificate?"

"The old man of the Zhang family is extremely open-minded. He didn't ask him for anything. He just said that his brother is not like a human being. If the second sister of the You family is really allowed to come in, he will harm the girl instead. So he took the marriage certificate directly. , I don’t even want money.”

Uncle Rong looked at the old man Lai Sheng sideways, and said suspiciously: "You didn't scare people, did you? We can't do bullying."

"The uncle wronged the old servant. How dare the old servant harm the reputation of our house and the reputation of the uncle. Naturally, I have said all the good things, and I will leave 20 taels of silver to the Zhang family."

After hearing this, Uncle Rong took a look at the marriage certificate.After sending Lai Sheng off, he fell into deep thought.

I hope that this help will not cause me any trouble.

Take the marriage letter back to Keqing's courtyard and tell the story.

It happened that Baochai was also there, and she listened and volunteered: "Let me take the marriage certificate and talk to You's family."

Ke Qing hesitated and said, "It would be better to ask my wife to send the marriage certificate."

After all, the You family is the You family. Although they are not related by blood, they are considered the same family if they bear the same surname.This kind of thing is also easy to say.

Baochai said: "It's fine for my wife to go there, but if the You family mentions that my wife should be a matchmaker for the two sisters, she will be in trouble again."

But Qing can't decide.

After Baochai persuaded her a few times, Keqing had no choice but to ask Baochai to send it to You's family.When they came back and heard Baochai talk about it, the You family naturally mentioned the marriage of the second and third sisters.But she was also dismissed indiscriminately.

Baochai said with a smile: "Their old lady is very powerful, and she wants to marry one into Xue's family. How can I be willing to do it? If I really want to enter the door, there must be trouble in the family. There are a few unmarried people in the sidelines of the two houses. Yes, even though I'm a little poorer now, I'd like to have some relatives to support in the future. After hearing this, the old lady didn't want to."

Baozhu said with a smile: "Their family is already thinking about climbing high branches, but they don't know that high branches are not easy to climb. The uncles and gentlemen in the side line are enough to accompany the two sisters in their family, but she hates it."

After hearing this, Grandma Rong couldn't help but stare at Baozhu. "Don't talk nonsense, after all, it's my wife's relative. It's natural to match with a collateral lineage, and it's enough to match with other princely relatives."

Several people said a few more words before thinking of Daiyu.

Baochai and Daiyu lived in the east for three days, and then went back to live in the Grand View Garden.

Just because something happened in the garden.It turned out that Xiangyun picked up a pawn ticket from time to time, leading to the matter that the maids and women in Zilingzhou stole the master's things and pawned them outside.

Xiangyun is loyal, thinking of seeking justice for his second sister, Yingchun, and scolding her mother-in-law and maid.

But Baochai hesitated, and asked a few people before making calculations.

Unexpectedly, the matter of Zilingzhou did not come to fruition, but a major event happened in the palace.

The old concubine of the Zhen family in the palace has passed away, and Yuan Chun's backer in the palace is gone.

All decrees, etc., will be included in the royal class, and the order will be kept according to the system of nobility, and the whole world will be ordered. No banquet and music will be allowed within three months for any family with nobility, and no common people will be allowed to marry for one month.Mother Jia, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, grandchildren and grandchildren all go to the court every day to accompany the sacrifices, and do not return until they are upright.

Jia Rong and his wife in Dongfu also have to go.

In this way, the old lady Jia Mu in the west, Mrs. Jia Shexing, Mrs. Wang, and Jia Lian all had to enter the court; the wife You Shi, Uncle Rong, and Grandma Rong in the east could not stay in the mansion either.

After coming and going, there was no one in charge in the mansion.I had to ask Wang Xifeng, who worshiped the queen of acne, to take leave, and called Baochai, Li Wan, and Aunt Xue to take care of the two houses.

Jia's mother sent Baoqin to Li Wan to take care of it;

Aunt Xue just took care of the sisters in the mansion and kept the maids under control, so she didn't talk too much about family matters.

Only Baochai, Li Wan, and Sister Feng are troubled by the two families.

At present, the masters of Rongning and Ning are so overwhelmed, and the two deacons, some of them follow into the court, some of them go out to take care of the affairs of the subordinates, and some of them step on the subordinates first, are also in a hurry.

Only Wu Xindeng and a few housekeepers were left in the Rong Mansion to take care of foreign affairs, while Lai Sheng was left as a big housekeeper in the Ning Mansion.The other close relatives in the middle were all summoned by the masters of the two palaces to follow.

As a result, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, and Xue Baochai didn't even have a handy steward.
