The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 248
When Baochai thought about her brother's temperament, she knew that what Mu Xu said must be right. Fortunately, she was also used to her brother's unreliability. Even if she didn't bother with this matter anymore, she talked about Xue Baoqin with Mu Xu, "Oh, My mother sent someone to entrust me this time, which is the lifelong event of that girl Baoqin, do you have a suitable candidate?"

Mu Xu laughed a little and said, "You women in the back house, why are you worrying about this all day long? Yu'er just helped Jia Tanchun find a husband's house, now it's your turn to find your cousin again?"

Baochai gave Mu Xu a good-looking look, "We women can't go out to be officials like you men. We spend every day in such a small world as the back house. Of course, we can only care about these things. In your opinion, they are trivial matters. gone."

"I just said that casually, and you have complained so much." Mu Xu said so, but he also knew that Baochai was right. In this day and age, only peasant women in the countryside would go out to work, and they usually had some family background. Others would choose to let women stay at home to take care of the housework. To put it bluntly, they didn't want them to show their faces.Thinking of this, he simply suggested, "It's the beginning of spring, why don't I take you out of the city for an outing, and how about soaking in the hot spring?"

"This..." Baochai was very moved, but she looked down at her protruding belly again, and said dejectedly, "I'm afraid I can't go!"

"What's so difficult about it, I'll let someone put in my father's carriage, and you and Yinglian and the others will just sit in that carriage."

"It's absolutely impossible, that's my father's frame for the king of the county. If the censor finds out about it, it's no wonder that you don't take part in it."

"Follow them, I have a root hair, don't worry about those guys who are just looking for trouble!" Mu Xu waved his hand, completely ignoring this matter.

But Baochai had many scruples. In her opinion, if Mu Xu, the prince's son, was riding, it would be a little reasonable, but these female relatives use the frame stipulated by the prince.She will definitely be talked about, so no matter how much Mu Xu persuades her, she will never obey her.

Seeing that Baochai's attitude was so firm, Mu Xu had no choice but to give up, but this small problem couldn't help him, so he continued, "It's okay if you don't ride on father's carriage, don't forget that there is grandma's guard of honor, I'm going to ask my grandmother's opinion, see if her old man wants to go outside the city to relax."

Seeing that Mu Xu turned his head and was about to leave, Baochai hurriedly called him, "Don't worry, I asked you about Baoqin just now, and you haven't answered me yet!"

Mu Xu stopped in his tracks, turned his head and said helplessly, "This time I really have nothing to do, all I know are young children from Xungui's family, and they generally get married earlier, even if they are not married, there may be some problems People, either their family fortune is in decline, or they are not up to date. It will not be easy to find an older young man like Feng Ziying."

In fact, there is a saying that Mu Xu didn't say, but with Baochai's ingenuity, how could he not have thought of this?That's the issue of identity. Take Tanchun as an example. Although she is just a concubine daughter and her father is only a fifth-rank official, she can't stand up to her ancestors. Her grandfather and great-grandfather are both first-class princes. Ordinary people can compare.As for Xue Baoqin, she is just the daughter of a merchant. In this era when people are divided into scholars, peasants, businessmen, no matter how beautiful you are, you will not be able to catch the eyes of those wealthy families.

Baochai sighed, and proposed a solution that was not a solution, "Then tell me, can we find a husband for Qin girl from the poor exams in every subject?"

Mu Xu was not optimistic about this idea at all, "This is completely a rush to the doctor. It's good for you to be those scholars. Don't you know that every time you kill more dogs with righteousness, you will be ungrateful for scholars! Have you forgotten that Mei? Hanlin matter?"

Of course Baochai didn't forget about it, but she was still unconvinced, "I don't believe that those scholars are not good, otherwise how did those sad and beautiful love stories that have been passed down through the ages come about?"

"You, it's nothing more than just treating those stories as entertainment on weekdays. How can you take them seriously! Among those scholars, there are certainly some wives who don't care about the mess, but how can you guarantee that this is the one you found for your sister. Don't forget, those literati are the most polite. Even if they don't care much about these things before they make a fortune, but when they become an official, that's another matter. After all, as the wife of a civil official, she needs to have a close relationship with her colleagues from time to time. For dealings, when your sister is dealing with those wives from noble families, how do you let her deal with herself?"

After being robbed by Mu Xu, Baochai immediately said in a broken jar, "Then what do you think, you can't find a small family for Qin girl, can you? My sister's appearance, if not for her bad background , and being implicated by the Mei family's resignation, how could they be in such a situation today?"

Seeing Baochai's annoyed look, Mu Xu hurriedly sat beside her and comforted her, "Don't be angry, think about this in your stomach. As for your sister, let's think about it again, Che There must be a way to the front of the mountain, maybe there will be a better marriage waiting for her in the future!"

Although she understood that this was just Mu Xu's words of comfort, Baochai also knew that she should not take her anger out on her husband, so she calmed down and said softly to Mu Xu, "I've lost my composure, don't take it for granted. "

"We don't need to be so polite between husband and wife."

"Well, I'm fine, don't you still have to discuss things with grandma? Go quickly, I want to lie down by myself for a while."

Mu Xu repeatedly confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Baochai, and told Yinger and the others to take good care of him before he left for Songhe Hall. When he saw Concubine Zhang, she said that she would go out for a spring outing, and Concubine Zhang said, "Take them there. It's good to relax, after all, they are young people, and from the Chinese New Year to now, they have been staying in the mansion all day, which is really boring." As she spoke, she thought of Baochai's two daughters who were pregnant, and she was not at ease. asked, "Do you want to bring Baochai and Yinglian with you?"

Mu Xu nodded and confirmed, "Since they were pregnant, they have been doing nothing at home every day. I want to bring them with me to relieve my mood. Besides, there are at least two months before they give birth, so I think it's okay. Fearing that his grandmother would object, he hastily added, "I came to find my grandmother, not only to invite my grandmother to go with me, but also to allow them to ride on the toffee's carriage with my grandmother, so as to avoid the bumps."

After hearing this, Concubine Zhang replied, "The grandson is interested, but grandma has been used to it over the years. She really doesn't like to go out, so it's better to stay at the house and sit in town. As for my carriage, I just let them use it. No one cares."

"Grandmother, spring is just right now, you should go out with us for a walk, what's the point of staying in the mansion every day?"

Faced with Mu Xu's persuasion, Concubine Zhang declined with a smile, "Grandma hasn't been there when she was young, so you don't have to worry about me, you can take Yu'er and the others to play. By the way, take Tong'er with you, In case after you leave, she will be unhappy and come to trouble me again, I can't stand it."

Seeing that the grandmother couldn't make sense, Mu Xu had no choice but to let her go. Taking advantage of the situation, he talked about his sister again, "Tong'er, you still have to tell her the old way. If you let her know the news, I will follow up with you."

Thinking of her granddaughter's mischievousness, Concubine Zhang said worriedly, "You said that when brother Mao grows up, with aunt Tong'er in his care, will the whole house be turned over?"

Mu Xu didn't expect his grandmother to think so long-term. He said indifferently, "Brother Mao is a boy, and there is nothing wrong with being skinny. Besides, I think grandma must be worrying too much. When my sister is older, she will be quiet." got up."

"I hope so." Concubine Zhang didn't have much hope for this, and then she remembered something, and hurriedly explained to Mu Xu, "I just realized that Brother Mao was mentioned, you are not allowed to take him away. It's a bit cold, the child can see that he can't bear the wind, and I can't bear him either."

"That would be the best. Without him, we can worry less!" Hearing that his grandmother wanted to keep Brother Mao, Mu Xu immediately agreed. He had no choice but to take his son so that he could be with Daiyu Live the world of two people.
