The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 289

Being reprimanded by her daughter in front of her son and daughter-in-law, Aunt Xue couldn't help but turn her head aside and deal with Baochai in silence.

Seeing this situation, Baochai also noticed it, and her tone was a little heavy, so she came to Aunt Xue and said in a soft voice, "Mom, my daughter shouldn't lose her temper with you, but you also have to understand my situation." Ah. Although our sons and daughters are magnanimous, they don't take the fact that I gave birth to a daughter to heart, and they still love Jin'er and me. But don't forget, there are two layers of mother-in-law on my head, I don't expect my family to help me, but at least I can't hold back!"

After hearing this, Aunt Xue's expression became a little loose, and Xue Pan and his wife on the side also tried to persuade her, and she finally took advantage of the slope to go down the donkey road, "Forget it, don't talk about it, the big deal is that I will follow your orders."

Baochai hastily continued, "Mom, uncle's matter is a foregone conclusion, but I begged our eldest son, and he promised to find a way to save my aunt and cousin Xiluan. If you feel really sorry, you can find a way to settle them down then. I think uncle will appreciate it."

This is Baochai's brilliance. She first deliberately told Aunt Xue that her uncle Wang Ziteng had committed a serious crime and was beyond salvation. He was very impressed, and thanked his daughter and son-in-law out of nowhere.

Baochai refused to accept it, and started a family life with a few people again. During this period, she inevitably talked about the fact that Mrs. Liu and Second Sister You had not been pregnant for a long time.Aunt Xue glared at Xue Pan, and said angrily, "It's all my fault for not learning well and ruining my body at such a young age. Now I can't even see my granddaughter, not to mention my grandson."

After Baochai heard this, she also felt that this was a big problem, so she couldn't help asking Xue Pan, "Brother, did you take the medicine that the doctor Zhang prescribed for you earlier, did you take it on time, and did you follow the doctor's advice?"

Looking at his younger sister's probing eyes, Xue Pan could only say with a guilty conscience, "I drank it for half a month, but I found it had no effect, and the taste was too hard to swallow, so I stopped secretly..."

Before Xue Pan finished speaking, Mrs. Liu became annoyed, and cursed, "Okay, let me tell you that every time you take medicine, you have to avoid others. It turns out that the root cause is here, you bastard..." If it wasn't for the presence of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, maybe she would have done it.

"You don't know the truth about good medicine and bitter taste, don't you understand?" Aunt Xue thought to herself at the beginning, her daughter's exaggeration of the imperial doctor was actually exaggerated.I don't want to know the truth today. It turns out that the root cause lies in my son.She couldn't help being anxious and angry, and began to scold her daughter-in-law.

Facing the siege of his old lady and his wife, Xue Pan couldn't resist, so he had to ask his sister Baochai for help.Baochai didn't pay any attention at first, but when he saw that the heat was about the same, he said, "Mom, sister-in-law, please stop for a moment, the most urgent thing now is to find a doctor to treat my brother, and see if there is any problem if he stopped taking the medicine privately." .”

After hearing this, Aunt Xue's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law let Xue Pan go temporarily, Liu's reaction was the fastest, and immediately begged Baochai, "Sister, for the current plan, I have to trouble you to invite another imperial physician to show your brother sick."

Baochai dismissed Xue Pan, who had shameful brows and drooping eyes, and nodded in response, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will send someone to the imperial hospital after I return to the mansion, and invite a reliable imperial doctor." After finishing speaking, she told Xue Pan, " Brother, you can save yourself some trouble in the future, don't look at Mom's face, but also think about Quanxia's father, don't you plan to make our family disappear?"

Hearing his sister mentioning his deceased father, Xue Pan straightened his expression, and hurriedly assured them in a low voice that he would be honest and obedient this time.Baochai saw that the trip went well, so she left with satisfaction.

Baochai returned to the mansion, settled her daughter, went to find Mu Xu, and wanted to talk about her trip to her natal family.When I came to Zhaohui Courtyard, I didn't want to see that besides Mu Xu, Daiyu, and a few girls, there were two more people in the room. They were an old woman and a five or six-year-old boy. grandparents and grandchildren.

Seeing Baochai come in, Mu Xu pointed at Grandma Liu and grandson who were sitting beside her, and said with a smile, "Come and see who's here?"

Grandma Liu had seen Baochai twice, but seeing her coming now, she dared not neglect her, so she hurriedly jumped off her chair, pulled her grandson Baner, and was about to kneel down and salute Baochai.Baochai hurriedly grabbed Grandma Liu, and asked with a smile, "How is Grandma?"

Grandma Liu replied, "Okay, thanks to the blessings of the nobles, everything is fine at home." Then she explained, "I should have come to the mansion to say hello, but I have to be busy with the crops. Some melons, fruits and vegetables were collected from the farm, and they were sent to Beijing to give the men and aunts a taste. The young masters and girls are tired of eating delicacies from mountains and seas in the past, so it is a little bit of our heart to use some game from our country."

Baochai smiled and talked intently, touched Baner's head, and invited Grandma Liu to take her seat again, while she herself sat under Daiyu to see how Mu Xu treated the guests.I heard Mu Xu ask, "How did grandma get here?"

Grandma Liu said cautiously, "Returning to my little prince, I drove the ox cart out early in the morning and arrived in Beijing before noon. Because of our status as countrymen, I didn't dare to visit the door rashly, so I thought about going to Rongrong in the old year." Guo Mansion, so I went to ask Grandma Feng to greet her, and finally, after her guidance, I dared to come to the mansion to ask for trouble."

After Mu Xu heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head, "Our house is not a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and grandma is too careless, just come to Beijing next time."

Daiyu also nodded and said, "That's the reason, grandma doesn't have to worry so much, our house doesn't have so many rules." Then she asked, "Has grandma ever had lunch?"

Grandma Liu replied with a smile, "Grandma Feng was kind enough to ask Miss Ping'er to treat our grandparents and grandchildren to dinner."

After chatting and laughing for a while, Grandma Liu looked outside the house, pulled down the board where she was eating fruit, and said, "It's getting late, we should say goodbye too, lest we won't be able to leave Beijing for a while, it will be a big deal .”

After Daiyu heard this, she just wanted to order the girl to prepare some gifts in return and send Grandma Liu out of the house, but she didn't want Mu Xu to suddenly say, "It's okay, grandma is getting old and going out of the city at this time, and when I get home, it might be dark, so why don't you just go out?" Stay at our house for one night, and it will not be too late to go back tomorrow."

Grandma Liu hastily declined, and both Daiyu and Baochai persuaded her a few words. Grandma Liu couldn't help sighing when she saw that some people sincerely wanted to stay with guests, "I didn't expect my old lady to be blessed to stay in the palace when I was getting old. I really don't know how to thank you Princes and grandmas."

"What is it worth? Grandma just needs to live in peace." Mu Xu replied, then turned to Daiyu and smiled, "Since the second sister-in-law of Lian invited grandma to dinner at noon, then it will be a good time to come to our house. Let Yu'er hold a banquet to treat grandma, grandparents and grandchildren."

Daiyu smiled, clapped her hands and praised, "Excellent, I can't let Sister Feng compare!"

Grandma Liu quickly waved her hand, "No way, our grandparents are used to eating simple tea and light meals in the countryside, and they always eat rice noodles when they come to the capital. If they eat oily mouths, what will happen when we go home!"

Daiyu's daughters burst into laughter when they heard Grandma Liu's funny words, but Mu Xu shook his head and didn't mess around with them, because he knew very well that what Grandma Liu seemed to say as a joke was actually exhausted. The sadness and helplessness of the farmers.After a few people had laughed, he looked at the timid Baner and asked aloud, "Can you let the child read?"

Grandma Liu was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why Mu Xu asked this question, but she replied honestly, "There is a private school in our country, and the husband is a failed scholar. I discussed with my son-in-law, and I will send him off when he gets older. Go read a few words."

Mu Xu persuaded, "This matter can't be sloppy. While the child is still young, we should send him to study earlier, and then send him to the academy when he is a few years older. It is better to get a good name in the future than to spend a lifetime digging in the fields." powerful."

Although Grandma Liu is a peasant woman, she has a lot of knowledge and understands that Mu Xu's words are correct, but since ancient times it is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family, and it is easy to go to a private school in the country, but how can anyone enter the academy?
Mu Xu was born in an honorable family, so naturally he doesn't understand the rules of well-known academies nowadays. If there is no one to recommend, let alone a commoner, even ordinary wealthy people will never want to squeeze into the circle of literati.Fortunately, Daiyu came from a scholarly family and knew the way here very well. Seeing that Grandma Liu was a little embarrassed after hearing Mu Xu's words, she immediately answered, "Don't worry, grandma. If Baner is a scholar Seed, come and find me in the future, I will ask my father to find a recommender for Ban'er, and send him to the academy to study."

With Daiyu's words, Grandma Liu was overjoyed, and quickly pulled her grandson over to kowtow to Daiyu. The child was obedient, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Daiyu three times.
