Red Mansion, Ningfu Scholarly Family

Chapter 58 Aunt Xue: No, I want to give the money to your uncle!
……

Now Jia Xichun and Lin Daiyu, with their maids and their eldest nephew Jia Rong, came to Rongguo Mansion from the small corner gate on the west side of Ning Mansion.

Lin Daiyu was walking in front when she suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "Rong'er."

Jia Rong quickly stopped and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Lin Daiyu pointed ahead and said, "You go to the front. We will feel uncomfortable if you stay behind."

"why?"

"No reason, just go when I tell you to."

"..."

Jia Rong came to the front, fanning himself, and Xiao Xiao followed him, covering her mouth and laughing, "Master, what did you do?"

Jia Rong felt a little confused.

"What did I do?"

"Hehe." Xiao Xiao covered her mouth and laughed, "You didn't do anything, why did Miss Lin chase you here?"

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Maybe because I'm good-looking, he wanted me to stand in front of him and see my heroic figure more, who knows?"

Xiao Xiao: "..."

Behind.

Xichun and Daiyu walked hand in hand.

"What are they whispering about in front?" Xichun asked with a smile.

Lin Daiyu said: "Who knows?"

Xichun shouted to the front: "Brother Rong, it's still early, let's go to the old lady first. Sister Lin and I haven't come to pay our respects to her for a long time."

This is exactly what Jia Rong wants.

So, a few people first went to Lady Jia's courtyard. When the maids in the courtyard saw that the eldest lady and the master of the East Mansion had arrived, they hurried forward and greeted them while opening the curtain.

"Four girls."

"Miss Lin."

"Uncle Rong."

Xichun and Daiyu nodded lightly and went into the house, and Jia Rong followed behind.

Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Li Wan were all here to chat, but Aunt Feng was the only one who was not here. She was busy making arrangements in the front.

Xichun and Daiyu politely bowed to Lady Jia and others.

Grandmother Jia smiled and nodded to Xichun, then looked at Lin Daiyu and said with a smile: "My dear Yu'er, you have been thinking too much about me, an old woman. Come here and let me take a look."

"When will you move back? I have told Baoyu many times. I promise that he will behave himself in the future and never be unreasonable again." Grandmother Jia asked kindly, holding Lin Daiyu's hand.

Xichun said hurriedly: "Old lady, I am so scared that I can't sleep at night. Thanks to Sister Lin for not being disgusted and accompanying me to sleep at night. If Sister Lin comes here, can I come with her?"

Jia Mu: "..."

"If you want to come, come on."

"Just don't bully Baoyu."

Grandmother Jia gave special instructions with a stern face.

Xichun smiled and said, "Madam, my second brother is a man and we are women, so we naturally cannot be together. We don't see each other on weekdays, so how can we say who bullies who?"

Madam Wang frowned, then suddenly smiled and asked, "Did Rong bring you two here just now?"

"No." Xichun smiled and said, "We two aunts are here to take our nephew out to play. Rong'er has been studying hard at home all day and has become thin from exhaustion. It's time for him to come out and relax."

"Pfft."

Lin Daiyu was the first one who couldn't help laughing.

The mandarin duck at the back almost couldn’t hold back his laughter, and he pinched his palm hard with his fingernails, and finally held on!
Mrs. Wang: "..."

Rong Ge'er is still a child no matter how old he is! ?

My Baoyu is the child!

Grandmother Jia smiled awkwardly and said, "Baoyu is also a child..."

Xichun smiled and said, "Is Second Brother Bao feeling better? Have you gone to school?"

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. If you count, it's not even a day yet, right?"

Jia Mu: "..."

Mrs. Wang: "..."

……

Jia Rong did not get involved in the conversation. He just bowed and left.

There were red flowers and green trees in Jia's mother's yard, and birds were chirping. More than a dozen maids were dressed up beautifully and laughing. When they looked at Jia Rong, they just glanced at him and blushed, not daring to look at him any more.

Only a silly little girl came forward, pulled Jia Rong and said with a smile: "Master, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to play." Jia Rong said.

"Will you play with me? They won't play with me."

"Okay, but you have to do me a favor." Jia Rong said seriously.

"what?"

"Go in and quietly call Yuanyang out."

The silly girl shook her head like a rattle: "No, the old ladies are all in there now, I don't dare to go in."

"Uncle, let's just play together. Yuanyang is very busy."

"...Good girl, this fan is for you, go and play with it." Jia Rong handed the fan over. "Really!"

The silly girl picked up Jia Rong's fan, waved it, and walked away happily, skipping and jumping.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Xiao Xiao stepped forward and asked with a smile.

Jia Rong looked at Xiao Xiao and said seriously, "Please help me."

Xiao Xiao was stunned: "What help?"

Jia Rong whispered, "How about asking your cousin for me? I think she's fine in there."

Xiao Xiao: "..."

Jia Rong: "Why are you looking at me like that? I have something to do with her!"

Xiao Xiao: "What's the matter?"

Jia Rong: "Talk about life and ideals!"

Xiao Xiao: "..."

Jia Rong asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Xiao looked at him as if she was looking at a scumbag.

"You, have fallen in love with my cousin?" Xiao Xiao asked with eyes wide open.

Jia Rong said as a matter of course: "I can't like your cousin?"

"can!"

Xiao Xiao suddenly smiled: "I'll go find her now."

After running a few steps, Xiao Xiao came back and said with a smile: "Master, this is done, how do you thank me?"

Jia Rong patted Xiao Xiao on the shoulder, smiled and said, "What if you are older than her?"

Xiaoxiao immediately smiled.

"Master, you are the gentleman's word!"

"Go quickly," Jia Rong urged.

"Master, come with me here." Xiaoxiao brought Jia Rong to Yuanyang's room, reached out and took out a key from the crack of the door, opened the door, giggled, and pushed Jia Rong in.

"mandarin duck."

Xiaoxiao came to the outside of Jia's mother's room, tiptoed and waved quietly.

The mandarin duck naturally saw it and gestured quietly with his hand.

Xiaoxiao continued to wave.

Yuanyang looked around and saw that Lady Jia didn't need her for the time being, so she gave some instructions to Liuli beside her and went out.

"What's the matter?" asked Yuanyang.

"Come with me, I have something important to tell you." Xiao Xiao said solemnly.

"What's the big deal?"

Yuanyang didn't suspect anything and followed Xiaoxiao.

Soon they arrived at the mandarin duck's residence.

Xiao Xiao smiled slyly: "Someone likes you and asked me to invite you over."

"Ah! What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yuanyang was suddenly ashamed and angry, and went forward to start a fight with Xiaoxiao.

"Come in you."

Xiaoxiao pushed the door gently and Yuanyang was led in. Then Xiaoxiao quickly closed the door and stood guard at the door.

My cousin,
We two will be together eventually.

……

Lixiangyuan.

Aunt Xue, Baochai is making the most difficult decision in history.

"Mom, didn't we agree on this last night? Why are you hesitating again today?"

After a few days of recuperation, Baochai's illness has improved a little. Although her face is still a little pale, she can now share the worry for her mother.

Aunt Xue said worriedly, "These two hundred thousand taels are all our eldest family's assets, including cash, shops, land, houses, and your dowry..."

Xue Baochai said calmly, "They are just external possessions. If my brother is gone, I will have nothing."

"For my brother, everything is worth it. If my brother is okay this time, our family can start over again."

"Master Jing of the East Palace is in a high position and has great power. As long as he accepts the money, he will definitely save my brother's life!"

Two hundred thousand taels of silver can buy the lives of ten Xue Pans. Even the emperor would be tempted. She believes that Master Jing will understand!

Even if it's for the sake of relatives...

"no!"

Aunt Xue suddenly shook her head.

She thought about it for a whole night and finally decided that she couldn't give the money to a stranger.

"I feel like he has no intention of saving Pan'er. I'm going to give the money to your uncle, and he will definitely save Pan'er!"
