Xue Wang's words complained to Xue Pan, Baochai covered his mouth and smiled when he heard the words, "Mom is really, when my brother was out in the old days, you said that my brother was not filial, not worry-free, didn't stay at home, and always ran outside, but now my brother stays at home every day when he listens to the words, and you dislike your brother again." ”

"If he stays at home and studies hard, it's okay, I don't dislike anything at half, but he is at home, either eating and sleeping, or following Lao Yin and them to practice what martial arts, making the family chickens and dogs jump, occasionally going out, but also shouting to ride a horse, it's really noisy, there is a little bit of everyone's son, what do you expect him to do?"

Xue Baochai pursed his lips and smiled, Xue Wang's family has a sense of long-looking Shu, in the past, his brother was so out of tune, his mother just expected him to be sensible, but now he dislikes him for being too sensible, and has been making trouble, Xue Wang's and Baochai sat down under the tree together, "I called these brothers from all families again today, it seems that they are going to drink and make trouble." ”

"The outer brother has his own entertainment," Baochai smiled, "It is naturally different from us, I heard that the cousin of Aunt Jingzhong is raised in the inner courtyard for a long time, although the daughter is not sensible, I am afraid that she also knows this, it is not good, the man naturally has his own responsibility, and he can't always mix in the inner courtyard." ”

"It's just that he has such a wild horse-like temperament, no one restricts him, and he has no royal law anymore," Xue Wang complained, "Last time the third brother and sister of the Wang family came over, they also complained that your brother didn't recognize his relatives outside, and he didn't give any affection, so he had a lot of chatter." ”

"The elder brother will do the things outside, and the mother will recuperate and live in peace," Baochai said, "There is no reason for the woman on the inside to take care of the outside affairs, and we don't know what the situation is, in case the elder brother does not do it badly." Xue Baochai wouldn't accuse others of anything, so he didn't mention it, just nodded a few words, "The third aunt is refreshing, but it seems to be too shrewd, maybe my brother is unwilling to give her anything cheap." ”

"That being said, you can't ignore any relatives," Xue Wang opened the chatterbox, revealing a worried expression, "Your brother's reputation is not good, people outside say that he was mean to his relatives, and he copied his uncle's house, and he didn't pay attention to these relatives, and replaced them with others, but your brother relied on the favor of the minister, and he was not afraid of these gossips at all, "What is called the favor of the minister, it is nothing more than that Zhen Yingjia takes care of it very much, and Eunuch Xia is also blue-eyed, "The prefect is also good to him, almost everyone has cocked their tails, isn't your brother the same?" It's a bad reputation, it's not good. ”

Xue Wang's family obviously heard what happened in Yangzhou, although the Wang family did not fall, but it was not possible to look down on the existence of hundreds of officials, and later knew that Xue Pan actually started to beat the salt envoy, she was almost scared half to death, and was about to write to Beijing to ask Wang Ziteng to rescue Xue Pan, but was stopped by Xue Pan: "Uncle doesn't know the truth?" I've known this for a long time. ”

Later, Xue Pan was relieved again and again, and told Lin Ruhai's attitude, Xue Wang's was a little relieved, but after all, there was a pimple in his heart, Xue Wang's sighed, "It's also that your brother has no father, and he has lost someone to discipline him, and I can't keep him in custody, and I can't take care of everything outside, no," she made up her mind, "Choose a good day, let's go to Beijing when we are ready, your brother can't be left alone, or his uncle, or his uncle, or his uncle, there must always be an elder to take care of it, Otherwise, Xue Bawang's nickname has reached my ears, what else can I do? ”

Xue Baochai smiled and said nothing, Xue Pan was young, he already had the official position of Wupin, and he was also the patriarch, the prefect of Jinling and Xue Pan were very good, Zhen Yingjia naturally didn't need to say more, Zhen Baoyu often came to Xue Mansion to play, such a young character, almost a person, he was already a monk with an umbrella, and he was lawless.

The mother and daughter were talking, Yang Zhi took a food box into the yard, "Uncle was out for a treat, and he used the water mill with the new water chestnut this year, and made gold powder chicken fat Ruyi cake, tried the taste, and said it was excellent, thinking that the wife and the girl both like to eat water chestnut, and they didn't dare to be selfish, so they asked me to bring it to my wife first." ”

Baochai winked and smiled at Xue Wang's family, "My brother's filial piety is the greatest, what else is my mother worried about?" ”

Xue Wang's family was also proud, but his face was still flat, "Well, your brother is just that." ”

Water chestnut is ground into fine gouache with water, steamed out on the steamer, plus broken osmanthus, a layer of gouache and a layer of honey, plus chicken fat, so stacked into the appearance of a mille-feuille cake, and then changed the knife to cut into a diamond shape, melts in the mouth, the water chestnut is delicate, the osmanthus is sweet, the chicken fat is moisturized, it is made by the unique method of Xuefu, Yang Zhi took out the gold powder chicken fat Ruyi cake and presented it to Xue Wang's mother and daughter, Baochai asked: "Which guests are here today?" ”

"It's all the ones that the uncle has interacted with in Suri, the second young master of the Zhen family, the uncle of the Zhao family, and the young master of the Tong family, all of them."

"You see," Xue Wang shook his head helplessly, "There are no good people." ”

"You can't say that," Xue Baochai said with a smile, "They are all young people, and it's common for them to like to have fun." ”

"The second young master of the Zhen family, Young Master Baoyu, said that he would come to greet his wife today." Yang Zhi said.

"This one also has a heart."

Another mother-in-law came from outside and said to Xue Wang's family, "Madam, someone from the capital has come and brought a letter from Mrs. Xue. ”

"Oh yes?" Xue Wang stood up, "Sister has a letter?" The May Festival is here, and she should have sent someone," she called to Baochai, "and let's go and have a look, and see what good things your aunt has brought." ”

He also instructed Yang Zhi, "Put the cake away, you go ahead and take a look, what is lacking in the uncle, hurry up and take it, don't let people think that we are neglecting." ”

Yang Zhi nodded yes, and also went out with Xue Wang and others, wearing flowers and willows all the way, and when they arrived at a courtyard outside, a few talented little people were walking back and forth, headed by Zhen'er, but after more than half a year, Zhen'er was much taller, and when he saw Yang Zhi, he greeted with a sharp duck voice: "Why is Sister Yang Zhi here?" ”

"Uncle is still in it? Got a lot of wine? ”

"I sent a jar of wine into it, and I poured it with well water, and I drank it now."

"You have to persuade you a little bit," Yang Zhi frowned, "You can't drink too much of this wine." ”
