The Red Chamber: Daiyu's eldest sister is not easy to be

Chapter 129

After the cleaning of the House of Internal Affairs, the emperor was shocked into a cold sweat as soon as the origins of the maids and eunuchs in the palace were found out.

It turned out that most of the slaves he thought were fairly selected were slaves of that surname. Those small families seemed to have no connection, but after careful inspection, they were all old relatives by marriage, and his palace had already become a The pockets of those minions.

Now that he is still alive, he can still control those slaves, but if one day he goes away, or their power is too great to hold back, then who will be the emperor, can they still be the masters?

Obviously it is impossible.

It is one thing to trust those slaves, but it is absolutely impossible to hand over one's wealth and life to those slaves, and he still doesn't trust those slaves.

Therefore, after cleaning up the palace, the emperor directly turned this year's general election into a small election, and all of them were selected from the common people. Officials of the family and people from various factions were not allowed to participate in it. Once found out, they would be killed without mercy .

The general election prepared this year will be pushed directly to August next year.

Without expressing the grace of God, any girl who has reached the age of marriage can choose a man to marry this year, while girls who are under the age have to wait another year.

In the courtyard of the Xue family, Xue Baochai slammed the teacup after hearing the news from the servants who had inquired about it.

Originally, she had already arranged the way to enter the palace, and waited for the general election to follow the girl into the palace, but because of this, all the previous efforts were in vain.

The girl she chose, her father's official position is not very good, her family background is not so good, and she stepped on the passing line to enter the palace to participate in the general election. choose her.

It turned out to be good, now that she can marry when she reaches the marriageable age, all her calculations have come to nothing, how can she be reconciled to this.

Aunt Xue also had a sad face: "What should I do?
It was fine before, why did it suddenly become like this? "

Xue Baochai frowned, and asked aloud, "Has brother returned yet?"

Aunt Xue looked at the sky outside, and replied: "Your brother went out to invite someone to drink and inquire about the news. It's still early in the morning, and I'm afraid it will be late when he comes back."

Hearing that Xue Pan went out to invite people to drink again, Xue Baochai's brows became more and more frowned.

It was fine when their family first moved out, but my brother was so busy with her entering the palace that he couldn't care less about eating and drinking.

But when the matter was settled and the way to enter the palace was found, he would revert to his old ways and start eating, drinking and playing around.

She was worried that he would get into trouble again, and was also afraid that if the previous matter was not handled well, someone would come to the door again, and she deliberately told him not to go, but her mother only knew how to protect her brother and play around, no matter how much she persuaded him, she would not let him go. useless.

Now if the matter of entering the palace fails, he still doesn't know how to think about it, he only knows that the behavior of going out to play with others can be regarded as completely angering her.

Immediately, she said with some displeasure: "Why did Mom let him go out again? She knew that he was looking for reasons to go out to eat and drink, but she just indulged my brother blindly. What good can our family do if we can enter the palace?

Have you forgotten all the incidents that caused people's lives before?
Is it possible that you still want to make such a thing happen again, and be forced to hide in the Rongguo Mansion again, and live in the face of the Jia family? "

Aunt Xue was not a good-natured person, and she was also annoyed when her daughter spoke like this.

She looked at Baochai with displeasure on her face, her words were not as polite and gentle as before, and she replied in a sharp voice: "Your brother is the only man in our family. If he says he goes out to do something, I can still stop him." no?
Don't let him go as a man, is it possible to let you and me, women's relatives, go out in public to manage?

Besides, for your entry into the palace, how much money and things our family sent out, even if your brother played a fool and spent more on food and drink, can it be compared to what you spent? "

Xue Baochai didn't expect her mother to say that about her, her chest heaved violently with anger, but she couldn't say a word.

I don't know if she was unlucky, she drank cold water and stuffed her teeth, and before she could catch her breath, her body started to heat up again. It was obvious that she was ill again.

Aunt Xue didn't pay much attention to it at first, but she was speechless for a long time, and after her complexion changed, she immediately panicked.

She quickly came to her, and while checking Baochai's situation, she asked: "Baochai, Baochai, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?"

Xue Baochai didn't have the strength to reply at this time, so she hurriedly waved someone to help her go back to the house to take medicine, her powerless appearance completely frightened Aunt Xue.

At the moment, she didn't care about that much, she hurriedly called her servants, and together with the maids and women helped him back to the house, then ordered people to fetch the medicine and feed it to Baochai herself.

After being busy for a long time, Xue Baochai's condition began to gradually improve, but her whole body was wet with sweat, and there was a coquettish look in that embarrassment, which seemed to have a different kind of beauty.

Aunt Xue looked at her Baochai's appearance, she was both proud and helpless, her daughter was good at everything, but she was born a little worse than others, if the master is still alive, trying hard to say that she can really be a concubine.

But my master is gone, and the Xue family has also lost, and now it is difficult to even enter the palace, let alone be the empress.

She knows she is not reconciled, but what if she is not reconciled?
It's just adding trouble.

She touched Baochai's small face with some pity, and coaxed softly: "Son, if it doesn't work, forget it!

Although our family has sent out a lot of money, but fortunately we have a strong foundation, even after spending so much, we still have a lot of family property left. If it is really not possible, I will go find your aunt again and say something Tell me about you and Baoyu.

When we moved out before, your aunt asked someone to hand me a letter saying this, and I thought it was quite appropriate.

Anyway, Baoyu is also the young master of the Duke's mansion, and a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how defeated the Jia family is, it is better than ordinary people, isn't it? "

After Xue Baochai heard this, she coldly rejected her proposal: "You are not allowed to go. Since I decided to move out of that mansion that day, I never thought about going back, let alone seeing their faces. Enough is enough.

What's more, my aunt is greedy and snobbish, she doesn't look down on our family background at all, and telling you about those agreements is just to tease you, even if you give her all our family's money, she still doesn't like it Mine, I might as well leave the money and make another plan. "

Aunt Xue couldn't help being taken aback when she heard the words, she frowned and asked, "The general election has been postponed to next year, and people like us are not allowed to go to the minor election, so don't you give up?"

Xue Baochai thought of the scene where she was teased by those girls, and the bad faces of those people after her family fell down, and she was full of unwillingness, she gritted her teeth and said, "Why give up, what about next year?

If it doesn’t work, I’ll just wait another year, but it’s just an extra year, I can afford to wait. "

　Although I have been exhausted due to illness and tossing with children, code words seem to have become a habit, and the updates will continue. I will update it first, and I will update it when I am done!
