The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 329
Qin Keqing is also a well-rounded person now. Although she is not optimistic about Xue Baochai's future after entering the palace, how can she say it in front of so many people, and even if she says it now, it is a bit shallow.

With a smile all over her face, Qin Keqing held Xue Baochai's hand, complimented Aunt Xue and said, "I saw Baochai and thought she was a good person. This time, I think she has a bright future. Here I congratulate her in advance. gone."

After listening to Qin Keqing's words, Aunt Xue's smile never stopped, "How can you say so well, let's talk about the royal affairs, how can we have the final say, but we just do our best and obey the destiny."

In fact, Aunt Xue thinks that her daughter Xue Baochai is no worse than Jia Yuanchun in the palace. As long as her daughter can enter the palace, the future prosperity and wealth are just around the corner.

She thought this way but ignored that Jia Yuanchun was able to gain a foothold in the palace now, besides herself, she also had the full support of her family.In addition, Jia Ke is not high in weight now.Although the emperor didn't want to see Jia Ke, nor did he give Jia Yuanchun too much taste, but no one in the palace dared to neglect Jia Yuanchun.

Because everything these concubines in the palace seem to come from the emperor, but in fact they cannot do without the support of the family outside the palace.Once they neglected Jia Yuanchun and let Jia Ke find out, they would bring disaster to their family. Which one of the people who can gain a foothold in the palace is a fool?
But Xue Baochai was beside her, and after hearing everyone's praise, she didn't show any pride on her face.Still sitting there quietly, listening to them talk.

When Qin Keqing saw Xue Baochai like this, she couldn't help but look at him differently. When she was Xue Baochai's age, she didn't have Xue Baochai's reserve.It can be seen what Xue Baochai's character is like?

Everyone chatted for a while, and Mrs. Wang saw that it was not early, so she wanted to take Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai to meet Jia Mu.

Qin Keqing sent them to the door, but did not go with them.Instead, after turning around Zhaobi and going out, he came to a small courtyard nearby, where Aunt Zhou lived.Now Aunt Zhou is no worse than Mrs. Wang except that she lives in a smaller place than Mrs. Wang.Even in terms of money, she is better than Mrs. Wang, because she has a son who can make money.

And the Zhuangzi that Jia Ke got originally has been under the care of Aunt Zhou's elder brother, and the rent is sent directly to Aunt Zhou every year.After Jia Ke returned to Beijing, Aunt Zhou didn't think much of the money anymore, and she only charged half of the rent last year and this year.Everything else is a reward for his brother.

As for the maidservants in Aunt Zhou's Courtyard, they now receive two cents a month, one from the Rongguo Mansion and the other from the Wuyang Houhu Mansion. They are considered to be the highest-paid group of people in the entire Rongguo Mansion. up.

As soon as Qin Keqing entered the courtyard, the little maid in Aunt Zhou's room saw Qin Keqing coming and hurriedly informed the inside.Then someone opened the curtain for Qin Keqing.

As soon as Qin Keqing entered the door, Aunt Zhou had already greeted her. Aunt Zhou sized Qin Keqing up and then sighed in disappointment.

Qin Keqing knew that Aunt Zhou missed Jia Zhi, and if anyone in the Jia family loved Jia Zhi the most, it would be Aunt Zhou, and even Qin Keqing was not as good as her.

Qin Keqing hurriedly stepped forward to support Aunt Zhou, "Auntie, Madam has a visitor today, and it's inconvenient for me to go to see her with the child. Therefore, Auntie was disappointed that I didn't bring Zhi'er."

"I also heard that the guests from Madam's place, who is the one who has come in such a big way and wants you to meet them?" Aunt Zhou is now the wife of Liupin Chiming. The rank is very familiar, so she is more concerned about the identity of Qin Keqing's Yipin Gaoming's wife.

"It seems to be the younger sister of the wife and the same mother who came to Beijing with their children." Qin Keqing said to Aunt Zhou indifferently.

"It turns out that's the case, but you need to see it in person, after all, the older brother is also his aunt." Although Aunt Zhou said so, Qin Keqing could hear a strong jealousy from her tone .

Qin Keqing is such a clever person, she immediately knew that she couldn't say this anymore.So the painting style changed, and the topic turned to Jia Zhi, "Recently, Zhi'er has become more and more mischievous, and she even broke the vase today. Fortunately, there is a woman watching by her, otherwise I don't know what to do." how is it."

Sure enough, when Aunt Zhou heard that Jia Zhi had almost had an accident, she immediately became anxious, and she couldn't help complaining to Qin Keqing, "Where have you young people taken care of the children? Now the children are curious, and they put everything in their mouths. You have to take a look. Like the porcelain in your house, the colorful ones are so beautiful, how can Zhi'er not be curious?"

"Yes, Auntie, I understand. After I go back, I will replace all the porcelain in the house with silver ones for him, to see if he can still bite."

"Don't mess around, those things are so heavy, what if you hit the child?" Aunt Zhou hurriedly stopped, afraid that Qin Keqing would mess with the child.

Aunt Zhou then asked Qin Keqing, "You said the three aunts in your house have been there for such a long time, why is there no movement in their stomachs?"

Qin Keqing felt a little embarrassed after hearing Aunt Zhou's words.Qiaolian and the others have not been pregnant until now, and it is also because they have not had children for a long time. They have been eating Bizitang, and after such a long time, they have suffered a little damage to their bodies.

Qin Keqing also found a famous doctor for them, but these famous doctors said that the medication time was too long and they needed to be recuperated slowly, and they would be fine when the time came.Therefore, they have been taking soup and medicine all the time, and it depends on God's will when they become pregnant.

"Auntie's matter is mine or not. They have been taking the medicine all the time, and their bodies have suffered a little. The doctor said that they need to take good care of them for a while."

After listening to Qin Keqing's answer, Aunt Zhou was not dissatisfied. After all, she is also a concubine in a big family, so she still understands these rules.It was because of her cleverness that she forcibly gave birth to Jia Ke back then, which made her lose Jia's mother's concern for her.If Jia Ke hadn't been promising in the future, she might not be able to hold her head up in Rongguo Mansion for the rest of her life.

"Oh, it's also God's will, their time hasn't come yet." Aunt Zhou stopped talking about this matter.

Then the two chatted with their parents about some trivial matters. The topic of the two of them was inseparable from the matter between Rongguo Mansion and Wuyanghou Mansion. Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Keqing then left.

Just as Qin Keqing left Aunt Zhou's yard, a person came out from the next room and asked Qin Keqing to take a look in the direction she left.Only then did he return to Aunt Zhou's room.

When Aunt Zhou saw this person, she said helplessly, "Why are you hiding from her? It's not like you don't see her every day, so it's not good to make such a mess."

"What can I do? If I hadn't waited for her, I wouldn't have taken the medicine for so many years. It's been a year since I stopped taking the medicine, but I still haven't conceived." The person who spoke was none other than Qiaolian. unhappy.

Although Qiaolian did not dare to complain to Qin Keqing on the surface, it would be a lie if she said she was not angry in her heart.

Seeing Qiaolian like this, Aunt Zhou also felt a little distressed. Qiaolian was her closest relative in the Rongguo Mansion besides Jia Ke. so smart?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Lian said helplessly: "The famous doctor has seen more than a dozen people, and he also took a basketful of the decoction. But there is no movement."

"Who knows what's going on, I suspect that dead girl Lan Xiang gave me a different medicine, otherwise why I still can't conceive after such a long time." Qiao Lian said angrily and helplessly.

Aunt Zhou disagreed with her words, "Stop guessing and framing a good person. Isn't Lan Xiang pregnant too? After dinner in a while, I'll ask my doctor to take a good look at it for you."

In fact, Aunt Zhou was also very anxious. She liked Jia Ke's children no matter how many they had.Besides, Qiaolian is no better than others, she also hopes that Qiaoling will give birth to a child for Jia Ke, so that this child can continue the blood of Jia's and Zhou's families.

In fact, having said that, Lan Xiang's medicine at that time was indeed very harmful to their bodies.Although Lan Xiang came from a wealthy family, she has always existed as a daughter, and she has always listened to her mother's teachings about the privacy of these boudoirs.

And Lan Xiang's mother, as the eldest wife of a wealthy family, gave drugs to the maids, so why would she think about the future?As long as it doesn't kill people and the maids can't get pregnant.

Therefore, when Lan Xiang was in Xuanfu Town, all the medicines given to them were heard from her mother.Therefore, unknowingly, the three of them took the medicine of tigers and wolves, which caused great damage to their bodies.If it weren't for the fact that Jia Ke was a high-ranking doctor in the capital and a famous doctor in the capital, these doctors did have some tricks to make up for the loss of the three of them slowly, that is, there was no effect for a while, and it should be fine after a long time recover.

But Qiaolian didn't know the reason, and complained to Aunt Zhou because she was not pregnant.

At noon, Qiao Lian didn't go back to her room, but directly went out to eat with Aunt Zhou.This has almost become her practice. Although in Wuyang Hou Mansion, she is also very popular and spicy food, but there is a big gap between Yi and Aunt Zhou.

Aunt Zhou now has twelve dishes for each meal, among which there are countless delicacies from mountains and seas. In the whole Jia's mansion, I am afraid that only the old lady Jia Mu can stand side by side with her.

Qiao Lian often eats at Aunt Zhou's place, and she has already spoiled her mouth. She is not satisfied with the meal she gave her, so she eats at Aunt Zhou's place at noon almost every day.And Aunt Zhou is short of someone to chat with her, and Qiao Lian is her niece, so the two of them can chat from morning to afternoon, plus Xia Mai, who loves to inquire about gossip, the three of them can talk to each other in the Rongguo Mansion. Talk about everything.

As soon as Aunt Zhou and Qiaoling sat on the table in the living room, Xia Mai brought five or six little maids and put the dishes on the table, filling the round marble table in front of them all at once.

Then, when the little maid put the bowls and chopsticks for two people, four or five people waited around them, but there was no sound at all.All of this is in order, just like when Jia's mother was cooking.

Their current rules were all developed in Wuyang Hou Mansion.At that time, Aunt Zhou was just like Jia Mu, she was very particular about luxury and ostentation, which was also caused by her inferiority complex.Originally, she was just an unpopular concubine in Rongguo Mansion, but once she came to Wuyanghou Mansion, Shuo Ran became the most honored person in Wuyanghou Mansion, how could she hold on?

So after Auntie was there last week, everything had to be on par with Mother Jia in Rongguo Mansion.
