Early this morning, the Rong family's first branch had gone to attend Jia Xuan's birthday banquet, leaving only the second branch and Xichun.
Baoyu Tanchun and Little Xichun were chatting with Grandmother Jia in Rongqing Hall." Old Lady, Miss Shi from the Bowling Marquis 'Mansion is here."”Yuanyang came in and said.
Grandmother Jia's spirits were lifted. Her heart ached for her poor grandnephew's daughter. "Please come in!" Grandmother Jia said repeatedly.
A pretty girl with no makeup and an innocent look came in. "Ancestor!" After saying that, she pounced on Grandmother Jia and began to act coquettishly.
After a while, she looked at Baoyu and Little Xichun." Hello, Brother Ai. Hello, Third Sister. Hello, Fourth Sister.”He smiled brightly at the three of them.
"Hello, Sister Yun!" Little Xichun, Baoyu, and Tanchun returned the greeting.
"Alright, you sisters can go play in the courtyard. There's no need to accompany an old antique like me.”Grandmother Jia said with a smile.
The purpose of Grandmother Jia bringing Shi Xiangyun here was to make Shi Xiangyun and Baoyu a couple. How could he not give them a chance to interact alone?
Hence, they went out to play in the garden." Where's Sister Ai?”Shi Xiangyun asked.
"They all went to attend Third Brother's birthday banquet and are not in the residence.”Little Xichun said, wondering why she didn't go. Thinking about the delicious food and fun things his third brother had, he wished he could fly to the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion immediately.
"Is it that Marquis, Jia Xuan, Jia San Ge?”Seeing Little Xichun nod, he asked again," Then why didn't you go?”
Speaking of this, Little Xichun was a little depressed. Originally, Third Brother had invited the entire Rong Mansion, but the Old Lady refused to go. Second Master and Second Mistress also refused, so only First Master and his family went. When Shi Xiangyun asked this question, Little Xichun knew what to say even though she was young." If we all leave, who will accompany the old lady?"”
The few of them strolled around the small garden of Rong Mansion, chatting and laughing.
In Madam Wang's room, tea bowls were shattered all over the floor. Madam Wang said indignantly," A Lin girl just left, and this old lady gave me a Shi girl. She clearly knows what I'm thinking. Yet, you just have to go against me."
"Madam, there's no need to be anxious. This brother is still young, no matter what, it will take two years. When the time comes, Taitai will enter the palace and beg the Imperial Consort, won't everything be resolved?”Wang Erjia said.
"Bullshit! Baoyu is already fourteen years old this year. Which family like ours doesn't decide early on when to get married? It's not urgent, but it must be decided first, otherwise it will be embarrassing for the Empress in the palace.”Madam Wang said.
"This servant did not consider it properly." Wang Erjia quickly apologized.
Take me with you when I was young. The jade bracelet you wore before, follow me to Pear Fragrance Court.
Madam Wang and the Wang family arrived at the entrance of Pear Fragrance Courtyard and saw Ying 'er sitting on a small stool, half-asleep.
"Hurry up and tell your wife that our wife is here.”Wang Erjia pushed Ying 'er and said.
Ying 'er was shocked by the push. She looked up and saw that it was Madam Wang, so she quickly ran in.
As Madam Wang walked in, Aunt Xue also came out to welcome her. "What kind of wind blew Sister here today?”Aunt Xue smiled.
"Why haven't I seen Bao 'er these past few days? What's wrong? Why aren't you going over there to play?”Madam Wang asked.
"It's nothing. It's just that Bao 'er's body hasn't been feeling well these few days.”Aunt Xue said as she led Madam Wang inside.
When she entered the room, she saw Xue Baochai sitting in the room reading a book. When she saw Madam Wang enter, she said," Why is Aunt here? Sit down quickly. Ying 'er will pour some tea."”
"My son, there is no need to go through so much trouble. It's just that I haven't seen you for the past few days, so I'm a little worried, so I came to see you.”Madam Wang said.
"It's nothing. It's just some old ailments. It'll be fine after a while, but I've troubled you.”
"You little girl, what are you saying!”Madam Wang pretended to be angry. As she spoke, she took the jade bracelet from Wang Erjia's hand and smiled." I wore this when I was young. If you don't mind, you can take it and play with it."”
"Sister, how can this be? This was left behind by your mother.”Aunt Xue said.
"What's wrong with that? Don't you know my feelings, sister?”Lady Wang smiled and stuffed the jade bracelet into Xue Baochai's hands.
Aunt Xue nodded to Xue Baochai when she heard what Madam Wang said. "Then I'll take care of Bao 'er. Thank you, sister.”
"We're family. Let's not talk about the two families. Why are you being so unorthodox?”Madam Wang smiled and said," Let's go outside and talk. Let Bao take good care of her."”
When they reached the outer room, the two sisters sat down." Sister, is this matter settled? But the old lady nodded." Aunt Xue asked.
Madam Wang shook her head and said," No, it's not like you don't know what the old lady is thinking. Now that the Lin girl has left, she has brought Miss Shi here. However, you don't have to worry. When the time came to go to the Palace and ask the Empress for a decree, the Old Lady would have nothing to say.”Madam Wang said.
" In that case, I'm not worried." Aunt Xue also nodded. This was also a way to bypass the old lady.
"This is the Empress. She is also in a difficult situation now. It's not like you don't know the situation in this residence.”Madam Wang sighed.
How could Aunt Xue not understand that such a money-hungry sister was here to ask for money? The current Xue family had cooperated with Jia Xuan. It was much stronger than the Xue family in the original novel. Therefore, Aunt Xue didn't really care about this bit of silver.
"Sister, please wait!" Aunt Xue went into the inner room. Under Xue Baochai's surprised gaze, she took out a small box, took out a stack of banknotes, and walked out.
"Sister, I can't help you with anything else. As for money, the Xue family was not lacking in this aspect. This is thirty thousand taels of silver.”Aunt Xue smiled.
"Sister, how can this be?" Madam Wang declined.
"Sister and I don't have to be so polite. We're all family in the future.”Aunt Xue smiled.
"Then elder sister will shamelessly accept it. Younger sister can rest assured. As for the matter of Bao girl and Baoyu, I will definitely get the Empress to give a decree.”Madam Wang smiled brightly.
Madam Wang left Pear Fragrance Courtyard with Aunt Xue's help.
Aunt Xue returned to the house. Xue Baochai asked," Aunt, are you here to get silver again? Mom, have you ever thought that if this continues, no matter how rich our Xue family is, we won't be able to fill this big hole?”
