The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 328 Baochai enters Beijing
Not to mention that Jia Ke is so busy here that the sky is dark, but that a relative came to Rongguo Mansion recently. Mrs. Wang has come to seek refuge.

To say that this ancestor of the Xue family is also very important. His ancestors sponsored the Emperor Taizu a lot when the country was founded. servant.Therefore, after Emperor Taizu founded the country, he had a lot of gratitude for him.He was named Ziwei Sheren, and granted the title of Imperial Merchant, allowing the Xue family to keep this name for generations, and these generations have accumulated gold mountains and silver seas.

Because of this, Xue Pan, the son of Aunt Xue, was arrogant and domineering since he was a child, and his father died young and no one taught him, so he became the little overlord in Jinling City.And in recent years, it has become even more powerful, one is because his uncle is the governor of the Beijing camp, and the other is because Jia Ke is the head minister of the military aircraft department.With these two relatives around, who in Jinling City would dare to offend him?
Therefore, the few noble servants that Xue Pan took every day walked the dog in cages. Although they didn't do anything to bully men and women, they kept causing trouble.Officials at all levels and gentry in Jinling City did not dare to intervene excessively before Xue Pan caused any major incidents due to the official authority of Wang Ziteng and Jia Ke, which made Xue Pan even more unscrupulous.

This time it was because he was arguing with a squire over the life of a servant girl, and he didn't take it to heart as if nothing had happened.

But I didn't know that this time it caused an uproar. You must know that human life is at stake, and it has always been the same since ancient times.You must know that even in ancient times, it was not so easy to cover up human life lawsuits.

Xue Pan didn't take it seriously, but his mother, Aunt Xue, couldn't feel at ease for a day. Although the prefect of Jinling didn't dare to send someone to arrest Xue Pan immediately, he didn't dare to dismiss the case just like that. Jinling Mansion hung up.

Aunt Xue sent a letter to Prince Teng in Beijing, asking her brother to help cover up when the prefect of Jinling came to inquire several times.After Wang Ziteng got the news, he wrote to let them live in Beijing. In fact, it was to let them avoid the limelight temporarily. As for the lawsuit, wait for a while to find a solution.

During this period of time, the current emperor wants to choose talented and good girls for the princesses and princesses, and go to school to accompany them.And the Xue family also went through the palace, and let Aunt Xue's youngest daughter Xue Baochai be included in the candidate list, and wanted Xue Baochai to use this as a road to Qingyun.It also lays the foundation for the Xue family's prosperity in the next few decades.

So they met one place in two trips, and the Xue family came to the capital with the whole family.

Xue Pan has never been out of Jinling City since he was a child. He has long heard of the prosperity and excitement of the capital.Although he didn't care about the trouble he caused this time, he was still a little uneasy in his heart.Now that he can enter the capital, he can enjoy the prosperity of the capital, and he can send his younger sister to the capital as a candidate. The most important thing is that he can also avoid the limelight.So they made some adjustments, and the family came to Beijing.

The family originally wanted to live in Wang Ziteng's mansion after they entered Beijing. After all, there is a saying that mother and uncle are big, so they will naturally go to Wang Ziteng's mansion when they arrive in the capital.It was thought that they had just arrived in Tongzhou when they got the news that Prince Teng had been promoted to the control of nine provinces, and he was ordered to leave the capital to check the border.

Xue Pan originally wanted to live in his old house in Beijing, but Aunt Xue was afraid that Xue Pan would continue to cause trouble in Beijing. You must know that there are many princes and nobles in Beijing. s arrangement.

Aunt Xue thought about it, since her elder brother Wang Ziteng was not in the capital, she might not be happy if she went to join her. The older sister of her compatriot was the wife of the Rongguo Mansion, so there was nothing wrong with going to join her. .So he insisted on going to Rongguo Mansion to join Mrs. Wang, and wanted Jia Zheng and other elders in the family to control Xue Pan a bit.

That day Qin Keqing was at home, playing with little Jia Zhi.Jia Zhi is now able to walk unsteadily.Jia Ke also felt sorry for her son, and was afraid that he would fall down while walking, or touch tables, chairs and chairs, so she ordered Qin Keqing to wrap all the furniture in Jia Zhi's room with cotton, and then sew brocade cloth on the outside, and put more cloth on the floor. It is a thick carpet.In this way, no matter how little Jia Zhi struggled in the room, she would not be able to hurt herself.

The two mother and son were on the carpet, playing lively with each other. Qin Keqing was rolling around with her son on the carpet in a nondescript manner, while a roomful of maids were taking care of their mother and son.Suddenly Ruizhu came in from outside the room, came behind Qin Keqing, bowed and said, "Grandma, there are guests at home, Madam ordered you to meet."

"Who came here so grandly, and asked me to go there in person." Qin Keqing hugged Jia Zhi in her arms, teasing him while saying, after living in Wuyanghou Mansion for this period, Qin Keqing has become more and more dignified now, In addition, because of Jia Ke's high status, ordinary wives would not be able to invite her to parties.

"If you go back to grandma, it seems that Madam's own sister, Aunt Xue, has brought her children to Beijing." Rui Zhu had inquired about these things clearly before coming in to report.

Qin Keqing also felt helpless when she heard this, and it seemed that she had to go, after all, Aunt Xue was Jia Ke's real aunt, and if she didn't go, she would lose her manners.

In fact, Qin Keqing was unwilling to go out to meet each other, because she thought that this family was not easy to get along with, but Qin Keqing knew that Aunt Xue's son had been beaten to death.

But Mrs. Wang had an order, and Qin Keqing had to go to deal with it, so Qin Keqing sent Jia Zhi to the nurse.He took a group of servant girls to Rongguo Mansion.

As soon as Qin Keqing entered Mrs. Wang's courtyard, seven or eight servant girls surrounded her and greeted her, so a group of more than a dozen people led Qin Keqing into Mrs. Wang's room.

Qin Keqing entered the room and saw that Mrs. Wang was chatting like a middle-aged beautiful woman.Sitting next to her was a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. This little girl was born with a natural beauty, with smooth muscles and bones, and elegant manners, which is not something that ordinary people can raise.

At this time, Li Zhi was standing next to the two of them, quietly listening to their sisters' conversation, only occasionally saying a few words.Standing by the side, she looked a bit petty compared to this little girl.

Seeing Qin Keqing coming in, Mrs. Wang quickly waved to her, and then introduced Aunt Xue to her, "This is your aunt of the Xue family. This time she comes to Beijing and will stay in our residence for a while."

Then he introduced to Aunt Xue: "This is Qin Keqing, the daughter-in-law of our elder brother, who lives in the Wuyanghou Mansion nearby. If you have any difficulties in the future, just go to her."

Aunt Xue had heard about Qin Keqing a long time ago, and she had heard about her luck for a long time. It was rumored outside that Qin Keqing had a statue of Dafu. At that time, she was able to be engaged to the Rongguo Mansion as a small family. After that, Jia Ke went all the way. , so that her wife is more expensive than her husband, and now she is a famous lady in the capital.I am afraid that few people in the capital can match this kind of blessing.

When Qin Keqing first entered the door just now, Aunt Xue was a little startled by Qin Keqing's demeanor.Now Aunt Xue looked Qin Keqing up and down carefully, and was immediately shocked by her beauty. She was floating like a fairy, with flowing clouds and flowing water when she moved, with a graceful and beautiful figure, and her handsome face looked like a fairy who had descended into the mortal world, and there are also girls She is pure and charming like a young woman.Aunt Xue always felt that her daughter was already a rare beauty in the world, otherwise she would not be tempted to send her to the palace.But now Aunt Xue has to admit that compared with Qin Keqing, her daughter is still a little inferior.

After hearing Mrs. Wang's introduction, Qin Keqing quickly stepped forward to salute Aunt Xue, but Aunt Xue didn't sit there to accept her salute, but got up quickly to help her up, and then pulled her to sit beside her.Grabbing her hand, he kept praising: "It's really a fairy-like figure. If you didn't pay attention, you might think it came out of the painting."

Aunt Xue praised Qin Keqing, then pointed to the girl sitting next to her and said, "This is your cousin, whose nickname is Baochai, and I will rely on you to take care of her in the future."

When Qin Keqing entered, Xue Baochai was already attracted by Qin Keqing's demeanor.In his opinion, Qin Keqing is very similar to her, they both come from a small family (compared to a wealthy family like Rongguo Mansion), but Qin Keqing can become the hostess of Wuyanghou Mansion, and she is already the first lady among the noble ladies in the capital. A first-class character.Except for the empress in the palace, no one can fight her anymore, this is exactly what Xue Baochai has always wanted in her heart.

And Xue Baochai still had a greater hope in his heart, that is to enter the palace to serve the emperor.If it is the blessing of the ancestors, there is a glimmer of hope, and if he is favored by the emperor, his future will be ten times better than that of Qin Keqing.

Hearing her mother's order, Xue Baochai quickly stood up, moved her lotus steps lightly to Qin Keqing, and bowed down to her in a fluttering manner. All her actions were smooth and smooth, making people look so comfortable, and she seemed to have received special education, which is Rongguo Mansion None of these ladies can match such etiquette.

Even Lin Daiyu, who was lifted up to the sky by the old lady, is still a bit behind Xue Baochai in terms of etiquette and stature.

After receiving Xue Baochai's gift, Qin Keqing pulled her by her side and asked softly, "How old is my sister? What's the matter with coming to Beijing this time?"

Before Xue Baochai could answer, Aunt Xue next to her said, "I'm 15 years old this year. With the grace of the emperor, I want to choose a talented girl to accompany the princess and princess. My Baochai is also on the list, so I came to Beijing this time to Baochai is waiting for election."

Qin Keqing, if you listen to her words, you will understand what she means. Think about it, you are another family who wants to send their daughter to the palace for the sake of the family's wealth.Qin Keqing couldn't help feeling sorry for this girl. They only thought that if they entered the palace, they would be able to rise to the top, but they didn't know where the palace was. The momentary grace, in the end, is nothing more than green light and white hair, and this is all for the rest of his life in the palace.
