dream of red mansion

Chapter 512
The joyful atmosphere lasted for a long time in Rongqing Hall, until night fell and everyone dispersed.

During this period, Mother Jia never mentioned to ask Daiyu to move back to Rongqing Hall, so Daiyu accompanied Jia Qing back to Ningguo Mansion.

Xue Baochai has always been calm and unflappable, but this time it was a little different.After accompanying her mother back home, she kept smiling, and even her maid, Ying'er, could tell that she was in a very good mood at this time.

"Why is the girl so happy today?"

After Baochai heard this, she unconsciously withdrew her smile and said, "What's the matter?"

Ying'er laughed and said, "It's nothing, I just think the girl looks really good-looking when she smiles, and I'm afraid there is no one in the world who looks prettier than the girl when she smiles."

Yinger is Baochai's closest personal servant girl, and at this time she is in her boudoir again. Hearing what she said, Baochai just laughed and scolded: "Don't be poor, find your clothes, and take care of the bath."

"Yes" Ying'er replied, and went out with Wen Xing and others to make arrangements.

After Baochai finished her bath, she sat in the boudoir and let the maids iron her hair, not wanting Aunt Xue to fumble over.

"Why is mother here so late?" Baochai asked.

"Come here and talk to you. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since my mother and I have spoken about ourselves."

Aunt Xue took the delicate iron from the maid and motioned them all to get down.

When Baochai saw that Aunt Xue had spent all of Ying'er, she knew that Aunt Xue must have something private to say to her. She was not surprised, but said: "If you have anything to say, just tell your daughter, and your daughter will listen."

Holding her daughter's black and fine hair, looking at her pretty face in the glass environment, Aunt Xue couldn't help feeling: My daughter has really grown up...

"mom……"

Baochai's voice called Aunt Xue back, she said with a smile: "You will be moving to the garden soon, to be honest, I really miss you."

Baochai said: "It's not far from what Mom said, I will come back to visit you every day..."

After a pause, he continued: "Or, I won't move in, and just stay with Mom all the time."

Baochai could hear the reluctance in Aunt Xue's words, so although she also wanted to enter the garden with Yingchun and others, she still said so.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Xue laughed, and gently ran across Baochai's hair with the iron wrapped in cloth in her hand, as if she was afraid that a little force would damage her beautiful black hair.

"Silly boy, how can I not see that you also want to enter the garden? Although I am reluctant to let you leave my side, you also have the right to pursue your own happiness..."

happiness?Baochai didn't quite understand, it was just the sisters having fun together, how could it be related to happiness?
Before she could ask her doubts, she heard Aunt Xue say in a low voice: "I have sent someone to the ministry to erase your name..."

Baochai blinked, and suddenly realized that she was really taken aback: "Mom, why are you alright...?"

She has turned around.

Aunt Xue signaled her to be calm with her eyes, then put the iron aside, stroked her head and said, "I've thought about this matter carefully, but I still haven't thought it through clearly when I thought about letting you enter the palace... …

Although, I know that my daughter is good enough, not weaker than other women in the world in every aspect.However, there is the harem, a place surrounded by the daughters of all the famous and noble families in the world.Also, a brutal place.

And now our Xue family can't say much in the court hall. Once you step into that place, the Xue family can give you almost no help. You can only rely on yourself to face the dangers around you. Whenever you think of this, let As a mother, how can I feel at ease? "

Baochai was silent.

How could she not understand what her mother said?

However, she is the eldest daughter of the Xue family, and she grew up well-clothed and well-fed. Now that the Xue family has fallen, she can only stop this decline by entering the palace and gaining a higher status in the palace.

This is her responsibility.

In the past, her mother taught her this way, and she also recognized it.

Last year, the sages recruited talents, and the daughters of all officials and famous families can be named Dabu for selection.Department refers to the Ministry of Rites.

Unfortunately, she lost the election.

But it doesn't matter, the draft requires 17 to 14 years old. She is only 16 years old this year. The Ministry of Rites drafts every three years. Two years later, she will be [-] years old. Will not lose again.

It's just that she didn't expect why her mother suddenly deleted her name from the Ministry of Rites...

There is never a shortage of women in the palace to enter. If you don't want to, you can find any reason, and you can naturally be removed from the Ministry of Rites.

She sat quietly, listening to what her mother had to say.

"As for the defeat of our Xue family, I also want to think about it. Since ancient times, there has been no family that has always been prosperous, and there have been ups and downs.

If your elder brother can be successful in the future and can support this family, then that's good... If not, then it's fine, it's all fate... In short, I can't be selfish and sacrifice your life's happiness for such a glimmer of hope. I can't just let you suffer..."

What Aunt Xue said burst into tears, touching my heart.Even other people will be moved to tears when they hear it, let alone Baochai, who is in the game.She had already cried and fell into Aunt Xue's arms.

Aunt Xue caressed her daughter in her arms, and comforted her: "I told you all this, just to tell you that from now on, you don't need to have any psychological burden. After entering the garden, you can play with Yingchun and the others. , the past few years when your father left, I have suffered for you..."

When Xue Baochai heard this, she couldn't help becoming emotional anymore, and the pressure in her heart was relieved, so she said: "My daughter is not bitter, with her mother by her side, my daughter has never been bitter..."

Aunt Xue was very relieved and said with a smile: "Okay my son, don't cry, my heart is broken when you cry."

Xue Baochai felt a little embarrassed, sat up again, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and was about to say something, but Aunt Xue who was staring at her suddenly said casually:

"By the way, you will live in Hengwuyuan from now on, which happens to be close to Brother Qing's Tubi Mountain Villa. Since we went to Beijing, Brother Qing has helped us a lot. How much do you want to do with him? close close..."

what?
Xue Baochai raised her head and looked at her mother in astonishment...

……

Jia Qing was very quick in her work, and on the second day, she included in the agenda the selection of servant girls from the mansion to enter the garden.And to assign the tasks, Youshi is still in charge, but the person in charge has become Qin Keqing.

It's selfish for him to arrange this...

Originally, many people from Ningguo Mansion had already been kicked out by Jia Qing and You Shi in a different way in the past two years, and the total number of people was [-]% less than when Jia Zhen was there...

However, the total number of servants in the Ningguo Mansion is still no less than three or four hundred.Although it is much less than Rongguo Mansion, there are only three or four masters in Ningguo Mansion.Therefore, Jia Qing still felt that there was too much idle food.

He was going to take this opportunity to clean up everything in one go, put those that could be put into the garden, and those that couldn't, had to be sent to farms and shops.

And for the servants of Ningguo Mansion, especially those women and maidservants who have no power, this time is an opportunity!Not only because the scenery and grandeur of the Grand View Garden are attractive enough, but also because since Jia Qing took charge of the house, he has "practiced frugality" and "treated the servants harshly" everywhere. What kind of guards and pickets are there in the mansion? , making it more and more difficult to "mix" in Ningguo Mansion, maybe, it's time to change to a better place to develop...

This is the voice in the hearts of those who are no longer able to get along in Ningguo Mansion.

In this regard, Jia Qing is happy to see the success.The Ningguo Mansion he wants is not a paradise, but a private mansion where the chaff can be saved and the secret can be kept!All his properties and secrets will be transferred to Ningguo Mansion one by one in the future.

As for enjoying life... Anyway, others will move into the Grand View Garden soon, right...

Just when Jia Qing was busy cleaning up the old forces in Ningguo Mansion and happily preparing to move, he encountered something that affected his mood.
