Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 277 Baochai’s ambition

The next day, Jia Qiong was awakened by her biological clock before dawn and was ready to go out to practice.

He was still holding Xue Baochai in his arms, and with a slight movement, he woke up Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai turned around and asked, "Husband, are you about to get up?"

Jia Qiong was rubbed by Baochai's turning movement, and felt a little impatient again, so she hurriedly pulled away and said while putting on her shoes: "I'm sorry for waking you up.

I'm going to practice. You can continue to sleep. "

Baochai stood up and said, "I'm here to help you get dressed."

Jia Qiong waved her hand and said: "You can continue to sleep and don't worry about me. I usually don't need anyone to take care of me.

It's still early, Yuyan and the others won't get up so early, so there's no need for you to get up in a hurry. "

Baochai nodded and said, "Yes, husband."

Jia Qiong got dressed and came to the practice ground in the front yard. At this time, Yuntao and several Jin Yiwei were already practicing.

When Yun Tao saw Jia Qiong coming over, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you had a wedding night with flowers and candles, and you still got up so early today. You are really a role model for us."

Jia Qiong smiled and scolded: "Stop flattering me and practice your skills well."

Jia Qiong stood still for a while and performed another set of spear dances, feeling that his body seemed lighter.

Jia Qiong said: "Yuntao, come on, let's have a round of sparring."

Yun Tao cupped his hands and said, "Okay, my lord, please."

The two fought, Jia Qiong used a gun, and Yun Tao used a Miao knife.

After a short battle, Yun Tao said in surprise: "My lord's martial arts seems to have improved again."

Jia Qiong said: "During the competition, you were still distracted, looking at the gun!"

After Jia Qiong got up, Baochai was no longer sleepy. She lay on the bed, looking at the yard where there was just a faint morning light, and there was a faint excitement in her heart.

It is said that the four major families in Jinling are connected by the same spirit. They all suffer when one loses and all prosper. However, the status of the Xue family has always been at the bottom.

Xue, the king of Jia Shi, was the duke of two countries in the Jia family, so his status goes without saying.

Although the old lady of the Shi family was a marquis, his official rank was Shangshu Ling. Now the Shi family is also in the same family with two marquises, and its prestige has not diminished.

Although the ancestor of the Wang family was only an earl and was not as good as the Jia family and the Shi family at that time, due to the birth of Prince Teng, he is now the most prominent among the four major families.

Only the ancestor of the Xue family was just a small Ziwei family, and now he has completely reduced to a merchant class. He has to take refuge in the Jia family and the Wang family in order to keep the family business.

Xue Baochai has known about the Xue family's embarrassment since she was a child, especially after her father's death.

At first, her mother wanted her to enter the palace and choose a concubine. After that failed, she came up with the idea of ​​letting her marry Jia Baoyu. This was all to prevent the Xue family from completely declining.

Xue Baochai is a woman with a beautiful heart, how can she be willing to do this?

The reason why she is willing to marry Jia Qiong as an equal wife is not only because of her admiration for Jia Qiong, but also because she sees the hope of realizing her ambition of becoming a leader in Jia Qiong.

She said to herself: "The husband I married is a hero of the world, his literary fame is all over the world, and his military skills determine the world.

Even if I am just an ordinary wife, if I can help my husband rule the world, it will not be in vain for me to come to this world.

Father, as long as I am here, the Xue family will not let it decline. Please bless your spirit in heaven. "

Baochai thought a lot, and when he saw that it was already bright, he stopped lying down.

She stood up first and carefully put away the white silk stained with fallen plum blossoms on the bed, and then pulled a red rope at the head of the bed.

The other end of the red rope is connected to the bell in the maid's room next door.

Ying'er and Xiangling heard the sound and knew that their master was about to get up, so they hurriedly came over with washing things to wait on him.

The two entered the house and saw that Xue Baochai was the only one in the room. Ying'er asked, "Madam, where is my uncle?"

Baochai said: "My husband went to practice martial arts before dawn." Ying'er said anxiously: "Ah, we didn't hear the bell. I won't be angry."

Baochai smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, my husband said that he is used to doing things by himself and doesn't need you to wait on him.

Go and freshen up for me. I'll go pay my respects to the two ladies later. "

"Yes."

While Ying'er helped Baochai wash up, Xiangling took out a set of red gauze clothes from the wardrobe and said, "Girl, this is a good outfit to wear today."

Ying'er said helplessly: "Xiang Ling, I have taught you several times. From now on, you can no longer call me girl, you must call me madam."

Xiangling said with a guilty conscience: "I will remember it this time."

Baochai said to Ying'er: "Xiang Ling is slow to react. Just teach her slowly. Don't always criticize her."

"Yes, ma'am."

Baochai said to Xiangling again: "The color of this suit is too bright. Take out the yellow butterfly skirt. I will wear that suit today."

After Xue Baochai finished washing and getting dressed, she said to Ying'er: "Go to the middle courtyard to see if your wife is up."

"Yes, ma'am."

Ying'er took the order and went. The two courtyards were close to each other and the distance was not far. After a while, she came back and replied: "Madam, Madam has already gotten up, and Mrs. Qin has passed by."

Xue Baochai nodded and said, "Ying'er, come with me to pay my respects to my wife. Xiangling, please clean up the house."

Xue Baochai led Ying'er to the middle courtyard. All the maids and women she met along the way respectfully saluted Baochai and called her "Third Madam."

Baochai smiled and agreed one by one, chatted with them for a few words, asked their names, and acted very friendly.

When Baochai came to Wang Yuyan's room, she saw Qin Keqing combing Wang Yuyan's hair, and they were talking and laughing.

Xue Baochai hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I would like to pay my regards to the two ladies."

Wang Yuyan asked with a smile: "My sister is exempt from courtesy. Didn't I say it yesterday? Our family members don't need so many false courtesy."

Xue Baochai said respectfully: "Thank you, Mrs."

Wang Yuyan saw that Xue Baochai was still so reserved, so she took her hand and said, "Baochai, remember, now that you have entered the Jia family, we will treat you as our own sister. You don't have to be so reserved.

Sister Qin has been here for more than a year. You can ask her how we get along.

Those dramas of competing for favor and harming others in the back house will never happen in our family.

We women can only hang around in the back house for the rest of our lives. It's already hard enough, so why bother making things difficult for each other, don't you think? "

Xue Baochai nodded and said, "Sister said yes, Baochai remembered it."

Wang Yuyan smiled and said: "That's right. How about it? Did you sleep well last night?"

Xue Baochai turned red when he heard this, lowered his head and said, "I slept well."

Qin Keqing smiled and said, "Baochai, sit down. I'll have someone make red date and lotus seed soup. You can drink two more bowls later to replenish your qi and blood."

Xue Baochai blushed and said, "Thank you, Sister Qin."

Wang Yuyan said: "Baochai, after you finish your meal, ask Sister Qin to take you to Qingping Bridge to pay your respects to your aunt.

You and your aunt have met a few times. I am not able to accompany you because I am inconvenient. "

Xue Baochai nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Qin is here for you."

Qin Keqing asked: "What does my sister do at home on weekdays?"

Xue Baochai replied: "I don't have any other hobbies. I just read books and work as a female celebrity on weekdays, nothing special."

Wang Yuyan smiled and said, "You can relieve the boredom of the two of us by coming here. It's boring just the two of us in the back house."
