The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 535 Salute
Shi Xiangyun brought his maid to the main hall of Duke Yan's mansion, where Qin Keqing had been waiting for a while.

If Shi Xiangyun came to Qin Keqing's place before, Qin Keqing would have to pick her up at the door.But now the identity is different, Qin Keqing sat in the main hall, motionless, waiting for Shi Xiangyun to come to see him.

When Shi Xiangyun came to the main hall, he saw Qin Keqing sitting in the middle, with three beauties standing on both sides. Shi Xiangyun naturally knew that these three were also Jia Ke's concubines.

But Shen Xiangyun's identity is different from the three of them. Shi Xiangyun is a good concubine who wants to be included in the genealogy, but the three of them cannot even be included in the genealogy.

Shi Xiangyun walked a few steps to Qin Keqing, then knelt down on both knees and saluted Qin Keqing.

"Xiangyun pays a visit to my sister, and I will ask her to take care of her in the future."

Qin Keqing smiled, did not speak, but winked at Ruizhu who was beside her.

Seeing Qin Keqing's wink, Ruizhu immediately poured a cup of hot tea from the side, then came to Shi Xiangyun's side, and said softly, "Aunt Shi, you should offer tea to our grandma first."

Shi Xiangyun was just a girl who didn't know the etiquette involved, and her aunt couldn't possibly tell her how to salute Qin Keqing, so she immediately made her blush.

Shi Xiangyun is also open-minded, and immediately put aside the embarrassment, she reached out to take the tea, and then respectfully handed it to Qin Keqing again, "Grandma, please use tea."

Qin Keqing accepted it with a smile this time, just took a sip from her mouth, and then handed it to the servant girl next to her.

Then he took out a crested hairpin from the sleeve, and saw that the golden hairpin was made of gold, lifelike, with two eyes embellished with rubies, and many sapphires were inlaid on the feathers at the tail. Things are priceless.

Qin Keqing personally inserted the crested hairpin into Shi Xiangyun's bun, and then stood up to help her up.

Shi Xiangyun's face is flushed now, and he is a little embarrassed to see Qin Keqing. When they met before, the two sides had no conflicts and got along pretty well. This time they met and became Jia Ke's concubine, which is not for Qin Keqing. Good thing, I don't know how sister Qin will treat me in the future.

Qin Keqing also saw Shi Xiangyun's embarrassment, so she comforted her softly.

Shi Xiangyun was originally an open-minded person. Seeing that Qin Keqing didn't blame her, but comforted her in a gentle voice, she immediately put the original embarrassment aside.

So after a while, the two chatted like sisters.

At this time Ruizhu came to Qin Keqing's side, and said softly: "Grandma, it's time to pay the old lady well."

Qin Keqing suddenly realized, and said to Shi Xiangyun next to her, "Yesterday was also your day of great joy, and it's time to visit the old lady today."

Then Qin Keqing tidied up her clothes, and Shi Xiangyun also stood up, so the two of them took the servant girls out of the Duke's mansion and went straight to the old lady's main room.

Mother Jia didn't sleep well last night, and got up early this morning.

Yuanyang naturally understood what the old lady was worried about, so she comforted the old lady early in the morning and told her that everything was safe in the Duke of Yan's mansion last night, and there was nothing wrong with it.

After listening to the mandarin duck's words, Jia's mother was relieved. After a while, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing came to serve Jia's mother for breakfast.

After Jia Mu's breakfast, Jia Baoyu and the girls in the Grand View Garden also came to Jia Mu's room to say hello.

Originally, Jia Baoyu and the girls didn't have to come to Jiamu's place so early, but today was Shi Xiangyun's first visit to Jiamu as Jia Ke's concubine, so they all came early.

Especially Jia Baoyu, who has been in a bad mood since yesterday, thinking that Jia Ke didn't know what kind of spoiled sister Shi was, and was always worried about Shi Xiangyun.

They had just sat down for a while when they heard the maid outside report to the inside: "Grandma and Aunt Shi are here."

Then the door curtain was lifted, and Qin Keqing and Shi Xiangyun walked into Jia Mu's main room lightly.

Mother Jia had been looking forward to it for a long time, and when she saw Shi Xiangyun coming in, she quickly waved to her, "Come here and let me see, has our eldest brother bullied you?"

Shi Xiangyun's face was flushed by Jia's mother, but he still came to Jia's side obediently, and then said with a hearty smile: "Don't worry, old lady, big brother is very good to me."

Seeing that Shi Xiangyun was fine, Jia's mother felt relieved and pulled her to her side to ask questions.

Standing there, Qin Keqing was a little embarrassed to see Mother Jia only asking Shi Xiangyun what to say, leaving her aside.

It was Mrs. Wang who had good eyesight, so she hurriedly said to Mother Jia: "Old lady, Miss Qin is here to greet you."

Mother Jia seemed to have just seen Qin Keqing at this time, so she smiled and said, "It's all because I was too foolish. I was so busy asking Xiangyun girl that I forgot about you. Don't take offense."

Qin Keqing was still smiling on the surface, hurried over to salute Jia Mu, and then stood aside smiling and continued to compliment Jia Mu.

But at this time, everyone didn't see any clues, and still thought that the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Only Xue Baochai saw the difference. In the past, Mother Jia still loved Qin Keqing very much, but since Jia Ke completely controlled the court and her position was stabilized, Mother Jia's attitude towards Qin Keqing seemed to have changed.

In Xue Baochai's view, Jia's mother was spreading Qin Keqing's rights for Jia Ke's future harem, which also made Xue Baochai see the opportunity.

Now that Mother Jia's attitude towards Qin Keqing has changed, Qin Keqing's position in the future will not be as stable as before.At this time, Jia Ke added another Shi Xiangyun, who had a stronger status than Qin Keqing, and this would really be a battle between dragons and tigers.

If you participate in it yourself, with your intelligence and beauty, you might really be able to become the master of the harem.

Xue Baochai made up her mind that there should be no further delay.

Some time ago, Wang Ziteng sent a letter, agreeing with Aunt Xue's opinion, thinking that Jia Ke's future is limitless, even though she made Xue Baochai a concubine, it did not disgrace her status.

But now it seems that Jia Ke's future is already decided, and Xue Baochai is now Jia Ke's concubine, and a concubine will be indispensable in the future.

What's more, now that Xue Baochai has other thoughts in his heart, he has already set his goal on the position of the supreme woman, so naturally he doesn't want to delay any longer.

No matter Xue Baochai's thoughts were constantly turning there, and Jia Baoyu's eyes were a little straight when he saw Shi Xiangyun's shy face and the heroic and extraordinary aura of the sword.

Among the girls around Jia Baoyu, every one is as gentle as water, where have I seen such a different kind of dress.

So Jia Baoyu couldn't help but walked up to Shi Xiangyun in a few steps, and then said softly: "How is my sister these days?"

Shi Xiangyun didn't expect Jia Baoyu to dare to talk to himself in front of so many people.

Although Shi Xiangyun was a bit naive, it didn't mean she was a fool, so Shi Xiangyun hurriedly stepped back a few steps, and stood behind Qin Keqing, lowering his head and not answering Jia Baoyu's words.

Qin Keqing should be the one who spoke until now, "Don't worry, Baoyu, Sister Shi is doing well these days."

Seeing this scene, Jia's mother's face has also changed. She did not expect Jia Baoyu to be so unscrupulous.

So Jia's mother didn't care about other people, and gave Mrs. Wang a hard look, and blamed Jia Baoyu's rudeness just now on her.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Wang hurried forward a few steps and pulled Jia Baoyu back.

And Jia Baoyu also knew that he was a bit menglang, so he quickly returned to Lin Daiyu's side.

And now Lin Daiyu bit her lower lip with her teeth, her eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to cry.

When Jia Baoyu saw it, he kept sending good words to coax Lin Daiyu.

Mother Jia's eyes were cloudy, and she finally said to Qin Keqing: "Girl Shi, I was tired last night, let her go back and rest for a while, let's stop here today."

After listening to Jia Mu's order, everyone saluted and retreated.

Don't talk about others, just Xue Baochai. After leaving Jiamu's yard, no Jia Baoyu and the others returned to the Grand View Garden.

Xue Baochai and Jia Baoyu said they were going to visit their mother, so they left them and walked to the back of Jia's mansion.

After Xue Baochai entered Aunt Xue's courtyard, she heard Aunt Xue cursing inside.

Xue Baochai listened carefully, and it turned out that last night Xue Pan drank a few more glasses of wine, and in a daze, he hugged Xiangling to the bed.

In the morning, Aunt Xue found out, and that's why there was a burst of cursing in the yard.

Xue Baochai also felt blushed after hearing this, after all, he is still a daughter who has not left the court.

Just when Xue Baochai was neither entering nor retreating, she was seen by the servant girl in the mansion.

"The girl is back."

Naturally, Aunt Xue heard the yelling in the house, so the cursing stopped immediately.

Xue Baochai then entered the compound and came to Aunt Xue's room.

At this time, Aunt Xue was sitting on the bed wiping tears, and when she saw Xue Baochai coming in, she forced a smile on her face.

Xue Baochai came to Aunt Xue's side, sat on the bed and said with a smile, "What's wrong with mother? She was fine yesterday, why are you angry today?"

"It's not your bastard brother who forced Xiangling to stay overnight last night."

After hearing this, Xue Baochai forced a smile, and said, "It's only a matter of time, mother doesn't have to be angry with brother because of this."

"What else? Poor girl Xiangling."

What else Xue Baochai can say now is to be silent for a while, and then find a way to change the topic.

"I saw Shi Xiangyun at the old lady's place today."

Aunt Xue's eyes lit up when she heard this, and then she asked, "Is she okay now?"

"Looks very good, full of energy."

Aunt Xue nodded after listening, and then said: "I know about this matter, it seems that we have to find a way."

Xue Baochai no longer had the reserve she used to have in front of her mother. She nodded hurriedly when she heard what her mother said, "Please take care of this matter."

Aunt Xue saw Xue Baochai's appearance, tapped her forehead with her hand and said, "How old is a girl, why are you so shameless?"

Xue Baochai blushed immediately after hearing what her mother said, and then buried her head in Aunt Xue's arms, refusing to lift it up.
