Chapter 270: Persuading Mother
While the Duke of Xiu was drinking heavily in the Mansion, the other treasure hairpin 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, were waiting in the corridor against the cold wind.
"Old lady, Miss Xue has entered the house." A girl came to report.
Jia Mu nodded and looked out expectantly, as did Aunt Xue beside her.
"When Bao Yatou comes back this time, we have to let her stay for a few more days," Mrs. Wang said with a smile.
However, after she finished speaking, she heard Mrs. p>At this time, Jia Mu sighed, "Yes, Bao girl is very popular with the Queen. I'm afraid she won't be able to stay here for long when she comes back this time."
Hearing this, Aunt Xue was the happiest person. My daughter is really outstanding.
After hearing these words from her elders, Daiyu, who was standing behind, couldn't help but feel sad. She originally thought she could stay with Baochai for a few more days.
"Sister Bao is here" Tanchun reminded in a low voice.
Daiyu looked around and saw Baochai walking through the hall wearing a cloak and holding up her skirt.
"Hey, Sister Xue is back."
Wang Xifeng took the initiative to greet her, followed by the plainly dressed Li Wan. The two of them pulled Baochai towards Jia, one on the left and the other on the right. mother.
Seeing Jia Mu waiting, Baochai quickened his pace and said with fear as he approached, "How can our ancestors wait outside in such a cold weather? If they get cold, wouldn't it be a big mistake for the younger generation?"
With a smile on her face, Jia Mu said, "Baochai, my body is strong, it's okay."
At this time, Aunt Xue reminded, "Baochai, don't hurry up and say hello to the old lady." ”
At this moment, someone had already placed a mat. When Baochai heard the words, he knelt down and saluted and said, “Old ancestors are blessed.”
“Get up quickly, the ground is cold when you get up”
< p>At this time, Jia Mu also said, "Quick, say hello to your mother, she will always remember you."So Baochai turned around again and kowtowed to Aunt Xue, "Daughter greets mother."< /p>
"No gifts, no gifts" Aunt Xue walked down the steps and personally helped her daughter up.
After Baochai stood up, Jia Mu stretched out her hand to pull Baochai. The latter immediately came forward and joined everyone in surrounding Jia Mu into the living room.
After entering the living room and taking a seat, Baochai was pulled to his side by Jia Mu and sat down, with Daiyu on the other side.
Everyone first asked about Baochai's life in the palace, then asked whether he got along well with the princess, and also asked about several attendants
Everyone was talking a lot. When asked, Baochai responded thoughtfully, making Jia Mu nod her head repeatedly.
About half an hour later, when Jia Mu felt that she was not in good spirits, she asked everyone to disperse.
Baochai was able to follow her mother back. Everyone was talking and laughing just now, but mother and daughter didn't say a few words.
CompareWhen everyone asked broadly, Aunt Xue asked more carefully. First she was concerned about her food and clothing expenses, and then asked if she had been wronged.
Sitting in the living room at this moment, holding the waist badge of Kunning Palace and looking at it repeatedly, Aunt Xue couldn't help but sigh, "It's really incredible that you can work in Kunning Palace and see the Queen all the time." It's easy."
Even a senior wife with a real job in her family has to queue up to see the queen. It is even more difficult for the Jia family to enter the palace once.
Aunt Xue had just finished sighing when she heard Baochai ask, "Mom, our house has been sorted out, right?" A lot of furnishings have been purchased," Aunt Xue replied.
Seeing her own mother, Baochai said slowly, "In that case, we can move there at any time."
Aunt Xue looked stunned, but she only picked up the teacup and took a sip. Respond to this question head-on. < /p>
"Since you and I have no close relatives in Beijing, we will have to rely on your uncle and the others for help in the future. It might not be a bad thing to stay for a few more days now."
Aunt Xue has this idea. In fact, It's not too outrageous, after all, Baochai is one of the few who can see the subtleties.
Baochai could only continue to persuade, "Even if my mother wants to live there, why can't she go to my uncle's house?"
In Baochai's view, if he really wants to cling to someone, he must lead the army's senior The actual uncle is much more useful than the Jia family.
However, the problem is that after coming to Beijing, apart from basic ceremonial exchanges, the Xue family rarely contacted the Wang family.
"Your uncle's house, there are some things you don't know" Aunt Xue sighed.
"What's the matter?" Baochai asked curiously.
Sighing, Aunt Xue explained, "When your father was here, your uncle borrowed money from our family, but your father refused."
"Ah, this happened Why didn't dad borrow it?"
Baochai was even more curious. In her impression, her father was not a stingy person.
"Your uncle is in a hurry to get 50,000 silver. At that time, our family had just bought a thousand acres of farmland and purchased a large amount of goods from the West. The current silver is 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 bank account. Your father did not agree and your uncle walked away"
In the house of Butler Xue Zhen At that time, even if the internal funds were not included in the bank account, the Xue family's working capital was around 150,000 yuan. Normally, they could easily lend out 50,000 yuan.
However, Wang Ziteng's arrival was indeed unlucky. A lot of the cash flow was used by Xue Zhen to buy a family business. It was not easy for the latter to still pay 30,000 yuan.
Xue Baochai really doesn’t know about this matter. She only knows that she has not been so close to her uncle’s family since some time.
"Why does uncle need so much money? Is the Wang family so short of money?" Baochai asked again.
"He is running for office. Alas, it's all old things and there is no need to mention it again."""
After Aunt Xue finished speaking, she heard someone outside reporting, "The second wife is here."
Now that Jia Qingtai has become the second master, Mrs. Wang naturally followed and became the second wife.
"Your aunt is here, go and greet her"
When Baochai walked to the door, Mrs. Wang had already gone up the steps, and immediately smiled when she saw her niece. /p>
"Aunt, it's my niece's turn to visit you. Why are you here?"
"I have some silver fox skins there. It's cold today so I can use them to make one for you." Jacket"
Looking behind Mrs. Wang, sure enough, the girls following her each held a brocade box in their hands.
"Aunt, this is too expensive, isn't it?"
Before Baochai could finish speaking, Mrs. Wang interrupted, "What's precious or not? You are my niece, shouldn't I love you?"
" Come on, let's go in and talk."
This is called hospitality, and if Baochai insists on refusing, it will appear that she is not very humane.
But in her heart, she is really unwilling. Accept the aunt's kindness.
On the one hand, I don't want to be in debt, and on the other hand, I don't want to have anything to do with Jia Baoyu.
"Auntie please"
Baochai. After stepping aside, Mrs. Wang entered the room and started joking with her sister again.
Of course, this time Mrs. Wang came mainly for Baochai, so she always directed the conversation towards Baochai.
After asking Baochai for details, Mrs. Wang couldn't be more satisfied when she saw that Baochai behaved generously and responded thoughtfully.
Baochai will not be able to leave the palace for at least two to three years. Baoyu had grown up by then, and it was perfect for the two to get married.
Auntie asked too many questions. However, Baochai's mood was completely different from Mrs. Wang's.
Staying here just felt depressing, so she decided to find a way to go out for a walk and visit Daiyu. Please remember to bookmark it. The latest website is the fastest and free to find books without anti-theft. You can add books to the qq group 952868558
