After lunch, the few of them sat there and drank tea. The girls blushed. Although fruit wine didn't have much strength, it was still wine.
"Third brother's life is like the life of an immortal, making me not want to leave.”Wang Xifeng couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the magnificent manor.
"Then Little Feng, you can stay.”Because Xue Baochai and Wang Xifeng were cousins, she spoke with less concern.
"Bullshit! Then why didn't your Second Brother Lian find Third Brother to risk his life?”Wang Xifeng laughed first.
"You've eaten and drunk your tea. Aren't you going to take us to the garden to take a look? He was actually watching a joke here. What kind of logic is this?" Lin Daiyu smiled at Jia Xuan.
"Sister, you've wronged me. I was afraid that everyone would be tired from strolling in the morning, so I let everyone rest for a while.”Jia Xuan cried out.
When the few of them arrived at the garden in the back hall, they were also shocked by the scale of the garden. As it was already early spring, some of the flowers were already in full bloom. In addition to Jia Xuan's meticulous polishing, it was really dazzling and colorful. The green grass was dyed green. The girls were already intoxicated.
"Third brother is really good.”Wang Xifeng sighed. The girls nodded their heads repeatedly. Lin Daiyu was even more proud, thinking that this was her lover. She didn't know why, but she felt a sweet feeling in her heart. Her watery eyes looked at Jia Xuan, and she was extremely charming.
"As long as Second Sister-in-law is satisfied." Jia Xuan said.
"Pfft, what do you mean by 'it's best if I'm satisfied'? Am I going to live here in the future? This is not my home." After saying that, he even glanced at Lin Daiyu. Everyone saw her expression, only Xiao Xichun and Baoyu did not know. Xue Baochai looked deeply at Daiyu, as if she understood something.
"Third brother, third brother, what is this?”Little Xichun ran over and pointed at a seesaw not far away.
"This is a toy. It also has the benefits of exercising the body." Jia Xuan laughed. After saying that, he glanced at the fried fruits and melons behind him. The two little ones naturally understood and immediately ran over. They sat on it and played happily.
Little Xichun immediately ran to the other seesaw and looked at Fried Bean bitterly and hatefully. Then, they began to play. What swings and slide? Everyone had seen the rolling ball before.
"Third Brother doesn't know how your brain works either. Why did he have so many strange ideas? Other than the swing, I've never seen anything else here. Otherwise, why would you be able to make a fortune?”said Wang Xifeng.
"Second Sister-in-law, do you have money in your eyes?”Lin Daiyu smiled.
"You really are a full man, but you don't know how hungry a man is.”After saying that, he even glanced at Jia Xuan.
"Second Sister-in-law, you're really out of your league. I won't forgive you for a few days!”With that, he tried to catch up.
"Good sister, please spare sister-in-law. It's sister-in-law's fault for speaking without restraint.”Wang Xifeng begged for mercy, and only then did Daiyu give up.
Aunt Xue was both happy and helpless in Pear Fragrance Courtyard of Rong State Mansion. She was happy that Jia Xuan could invite Baochai, which meant that he had a good impression of her. However, the difference in status was too great. She could not bear to let her daughter be someone else's concubine.
Aunt Xue thought that a marriage with Baoyu was more reliable. Although her status was a little worse, her mother-in-law was her aunt after all. It would be better to marry her in the future. In essence, Jia Baoyu was only the second son of Jia Zheng, and Jia Zheng was only a fifth rank member of the Ministry of Works. If it wasn't for Jia Yuanchun's consort title, their families would be comparable.
Thinking of this, Aunt Xue got up and went to Madam Wang.
"Sister, what are you doing?”Aunt Xue smiled.
"What are you talking about? You and I are sisters, why do you have to be so unorthodox?”Madam Wang pulled Aunt Xue to sit down affectionately.
"If you ask me, why should Bao girl go to that concubine? She can just find an excuse.”Aunt Xue listened to Madam Wang's words. She could only smile and say," The few ladies have already gone. If Bao 'er doesn't go, it will seem like our Xue family doesn't know etiquette. I'll let Bao' er go and have nothing to do with anything else.”
Madam Wang nodded after hearing Aunt Xue's words. He thought to himself that it was fine as long as he did not fancy Jia Xuan. The Xue family had a mountain of gold and a sea of silver. She must hold the Xue family in her hands for Baoyu. She could not let the duck fly away.
"Elder sister, can the matter we mentioned in the letter succeed?”Aunt Xue asked tentatively.
"Sigh, little sister doesn't know. The old lady wanted to pair Yu 'Er up. You don't know, but whenever I see that Lin girl, I'll think of that jinx, Jia Min.”Madam Wang sighed and continued," If this was in the past, it would be really troublesome. However, that girl Yuanchun has already been conferred the title of Imperial Consort. At that time, when Yuan Chun gave a decree to bestow marriage, then Old Lady would have nothing else to say.”
Aunt Xue was overjoyed when she heard that." I'm relieved to hear that, Sister.”As he spoke, he took out a stack of silver notes." Here's 50,000 taels of silver. It's a small token of my appreciation for the Empress to use in the palace."”
"What are you doing? We're all relatives. Why are you treating me like an outsider?”As Madam Wang spoke, she took the silver notes with her hand and smiled like a flower.
When Aunt Xue left Madam Wang's room, she thought to herself that this elder sister was obviously greedy. She didn't know if it was good or bad for the Xue family to find such a mother-in-law for Bao 'er. However, she had no choice but to plunge headlong into it. Although the Xue family was in dire straits now, they still had a son who could cause trouble. She had no choice but to plan for her son and find a capable in-law. He knew that his sister was greedy for the Xue family's money, but he had no choice.
He also thought that if the Xue family's status was higher and they could get close to Jia Xuan, the Northguard Marquis, then the Xue family would be able to rest easy in the future. However, this was just a thought. With Xue Baochai's status, she could not be the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei.
Aunt Xue returned to the house." Tonggui, isn't the lady back yet?”
"Yes, Madam. Just now, the Zhenbei Marquis Manor sent a message saying that they would only return after dinner.”Tonggui replied.
"Yes, I know. You can leave.”For some reason, Aunt Xue still had a glimmer of hope from the bottom of her heart.
"Third Brother, are we still eating pot tonight?”Little Xichun said expectantly.
Jia Xuan looked at everyone and saw the others nodding. "Alright, we'll listen to Fourth Younger Sister. Let's continue eating the pot.”Jia Xuan laughed.
"Fried beans, go and see if the chilled seafood has been delivered. If it's delivered, send someone to clean it up. We'll have seafood pot tonight.”
"Alright!" Fried Bean ran out quickly because he had been thinking about the seafood for a long time.
"This is the seafood that I asked someone to send over from Gukou. I was going to eat some seafood tonight. Since Fourth Younger Sister said to eat the pot, then let's have a seafood hotpot.”Jia Xuan laughed.
