Chapter 512: Get close and close
The joyful atmosphere lasted for a long time in the Rongqing Hall, until night fell and everyone dispersed.
During this period, Jia's mother did not mention that Daiyu should move back to Rongqing Hall, so Daiyu accompanied Jia Qing back to Ningguo Mansion.
Xue Baochai has always been calm and unfazed, but this time it is a little different. After accompanying her mother back to the house, she always had a smile on her face, and even her maid Ying'er could see that she was in a very good mood at this time.
"Why is the girl so happy today?"
Baochai listened, unconsciously withdrew some smiles, and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Ying'er smiled: "It's nothing, I just think the girl looks so good when she smiles, I'm afraid there is no one in the world who looks better than the girl when she laughs." ”
Ying'er is Baochai's closest personal maid, and at this time she is in the boudoir, hearing her say this, Baochai just laughed and scolded: "Don't be poor, find good clothes, and wait for the bath." ”
"Yes" Ying'er responded, and went out with Wen Xing and the others to make arrangements.
After bathing for a while, Baochai sat in the boudoir, ironing her hair by the maids, and didn't want Aunt Xue to grope over.
"Why did Mother come here so late?" Baochai Road.
"Come and talk to you, speaking of which, our mother and son haven't spoken to each other for a long time."
Aunt Xue took the delicate iron in the maid's hand and motioned for them all to go down.
Baochai saw that Aunt Xue had taken Ying'er away, and knew that Aunt Xue must have private words to say to her, she was not surprised, but said: "If Mom has anything to say, just tell her daughter, and her daughter listens." ”
Holding her daughter's black and fine hair, looking at her daughter's pretty face in the glass realm, Aunt Xue couldn't help but feel: her daughter has really grown up......
"Mom......"
Baochai's voice called back Aunt Xue, and she smiled: "You will move to the garden in a short time, to be honest, I am really a little reluctant to you." ”
Baochai said: "Where Mom said, it's not far away, I will still come back to visit you every day......"
After a pause, he said, "Or, I won't move in and stay with my mother all the time." ”
Baochai heard the reluctance in Aunt Xue's words, so although she also wanted to enter the garden with Yingchun and the others, she still said so.
Aunt Xue actually smiled, and the iron wrapped in cloth in her hand gently swept through Baochai's hair, as if she was afraid that a little force would destroy her beautiful green silk.
"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, but you also have the right to pursue your own happiness......"
Happiness? Baochai doesn't quite understand, it's just sisters playing together, how can it be related to happiness?
Before she could ask her doubts, she heard Aunt Xue say in a low voice: "I have already asked someone to go to the ministry to remove your name......
Baochai blinked, and suddenly reacted, and was really taken aback: "Mom, how can you ...... it?" ”
She's gone back.
Aunt Xue motioned to her with her eyes to calm down, then put the iron aside, touched her head and said, "I have thought about this matter carefully, and I still haven't thought about it clearly when I thought about letting you enter the palace......
Although, I know that my daughter is good enough and not inferior to other women in the world in every way. However, it is a harem, a place where the daughters of all the famous nobles in the world are gathered. Again, a cruel place.
And our Xue family can't say anything in the court now, once you step into that place, the Xue family can give you almost no help, everything can only rely on you to face the dangers around you alone, whenever you think of this, how can I, as a mother, feel at ease? ”
Baochai was silent.
Why didn't she understand what her mother said?
However, she is the eldest daughter of the Xue family, she grew up in fine clothes and jade food, and now the Xue family is in decline, she can only save this decline by entering the palace and gaining a higher status in the palace.
It's her responsibility.
In the past, her mother had taught her the same way, and she agreed.
Go to the age of the saint to recruit talents, the daughters of famous eunuchs, can be named in person, for selection. Ministry, refers to the Ministry of Rites.
Unfortunately, she was defeated.
But it doesn't matter, the draft requires thirteen to seventeen years old, she is only fourteen years old this year, the Ministry of Rites draft is once every three years, two years later, she is only sixteen years old, it is twenty-eight years old, I believe that the next time, and the last time, she will not lose again.
It's just that she didn't expect why her mother suddenly removed her name from the Ministry of Rites at this time......
There is never a shortage of women vying to enter the palace, and if you don't want to, just find a reason, and you can naturally be removed from the Ministry of Rites.
She sat silently and listened to what her mother had to say.
"As for the defeat of our Xue family, I also want to open it. Since ancient times, there has been no prosperous family, and there are still ups and downs in the flowing water, and the rise and fall of glory and disgrace are all due to fate, and they cannot be forced.
If your brother can make a living and support this family in the future, it will be good...... If not, then it's all fate...... In short, I can't selfishly sacrifice your life's happiness for the sake of that glimmer of hope, and I can't let you suffer......"
Aunt Xue's words were tearful and heartfelt. Even if others listen to it, they will be moved to tears, 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: "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, let's play with them in the spring, your father has been there for a few years, and you have suffered a lot......"
When Xue Baochai heard this, she couldn't help but feel emotional, and the pressure in her heart was relieved, so she said: "My daughter is not bitter, with my 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 was a little embarrassed, sat up again, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and was about to say something, but saw Aunt Xue, who was staring at her, suddenly said casually:
"By the way, in the future, you will live in Luwuyuan, which happens to be close to Brother Qing'er's Tubi Villa, since we went to Beijing, Brother Qing'er's child has helped us a lot, you have to be close to him......"
Yes?
Xue Baochai raised her head and looked at her mother in astonishment......
……
Jia Qing did things very quickly, and on the second day, she included the matter of selecting the maids and maids from the mansion into the garden. and assigned the task, it was still the You family in charge, but the person in charge became Qin Keqing.
He had selfish motives in doing so......
Originally, Ning Guofu had already been eliminated by Jia Qing and You Shi in the past two years, and the total number was a full two percent less than when Jia Zhen was there......
However, the total number of people in Ning Guo's Mansion is still no less than three or four hundred. Although it is much less than that of Rongguo Mansion, there are only three or four masters of Ning Guofu. Therefore, Jia Qing still felt that there were too many idle meals.
He was going to take this opportunity to clean up all at once, and put those who could put them in the garden, and if they couldn't, they could only be sent to the grange and the shop.
And for the subordinates of Ning Guofu, especially those mothers-in-law and unpowerful maids, this time is an opportunity! Not only because the scenery of the Grand View Garden is attractive enough, but also because since Jia Qing took charge of the house, he has been "strictly thrifty" and "harsh to his subordinates" everywhere, and what kind of guards and pickets are made in the mansion, which makes it more and more difficult to "mix" in the Ningguo Mansion......
This is the voice of the people who are now inseparable in Ning Guofu.
In this regard, Jia Qing is happy to see it. The Ningguo Mansion he wants is not a paradise, but a private mansion that can keep secrets! All his properties and secrets will be transferred to Ning Guofu one by one in the future.
As for enjoying life...... Anyway, others are about to move into the Grand View Garden, aren't they......
Just when Jia Qing was busy cleaning up the old forces in Ning Guofu and happily preparing to move, he encountered something that affected his mood.
