Aunt Xue didn't think as much as Mrs. Wang. After seeing her sister, she immediately rushed forward in three steps and two steps at a time, grabbed Mrs. Wang's hand, shook it gently, and explained charmingly: "I

I have long wanted to visit my sister, but I have just moved here and there are so many things. Although I don’t have to worry about things, it’s not easy to leave easily. Now that my sister is here, don’t rush back. After all, I’m here.

Let’s have some fun for a few days!”

As he spoke, his watery eyes were full of hope and expectation.

This childlike figure, coupled with the gentle and mature facial features, and the gourd figure wrapped in a blue and purple dress, are really contradictory and complementary to each other.

Plus the original life-saving grace...

It's no wonder that Jiao Shun fell in love with her.

Mrs. Wang sighed secretly, patted the back of her hand gently, and said with a smile: "You said that the family is busy with so many things, why do you keep bothering me?"

"this……"

Aunt Xue was immediately speechless.

"alright."

Mrs. Wang reminded again: "Let's go in and talk."

"Look at me!"

Aunt Xue slapped her forehead and said in annoyance: "I was so happy that I forgot to invite my sister in to talk - sister, let's go directly to the backyard."

As he spoke, he did not let go of Mrs. Wang's hand, and directly took her around the front hall and around to the main room in the backyard.

The furnishings here are quite different from those when Aunt Xue was in Lixiangyuan.

However, Aunt Xue's dress is obviously more vivid than when she was living under someone else's roof, and the gold, jade, and jade on her head has increased by nearly half. After all, she is a widowed woman, so no matter how much she likes fancy clothes, she still doesn't care.

It's not easy to show off in front of others. Nowadays, if you live alone, you don't need to avoid taboos.

Mrs. Wang looked at her briefly and was hesitating about how to start a conversation when she saw Aunt Xue suddenly thought of something and shouted in a loud voice: "Go and find the young lady quickly."

How dare you say what Mrs. Wang wants to say in front of Baochai?

She was about to speak and stop her immediately, but Aunt Xue was quick to speak, and the maid outside the door who was responsible for delivering the message was faster. Before she could open her mouth, she ran away in a flash.

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to get straight to the point: "You move the people out first. I have a few personal words to say to you."

After hearing this, Aunt Xue immediately drove all the mother-in-law and maids out with a wave of her hand, and then asked curiously: "Sister came here overnight, is there something important?"

"There is one important thing."

Mrs. Wang first briefly described the matter, and then changed the topic and said: "But I came here overnight because I wanted to... I wanted to help you."

I heard my sister say that she wanted to call Jiao Shun to the house, and also said that she wanted to fulfill her. Is there anything else that Aunt Xue doesn't understand?

Unconsciously, she bowed her neck in shame, deliberately covering up a few words with duplicity, but she was afraid that her sister would believe her, so she really changed her mind.

Under the offensive, she had already been completely defeated in her heart, but she just didn't dare to show it out decisively and proactively like Mrs. Wang.

Seeing that my sister looked like a gourd with its mouth cut off, the answer was clearly written on her face full of shame and joy.

While Mrs. Wang secretly sighed that Jiao Shun had done a lot of harm to others, she revealed the manuscript she had written on the road: "To be honest, although I could understand it at first, I didn't approve of you and that Jiao Shun... But since you moved out

Later, when I was alone in that lonely hut, I suddenly realized how difficult it has been for you these past years."

"elder sister!"

Due to time constraints, there was little connection between the two incidents. If someone were smart and suspicious, they would probably suspect that Mrs. Wang wanted to take advantage of him.

But Aunt Xue didn't think about it at all. She raised her head and said incoherently: "I, I also know that I shouldn't... But Brother Shun... I can't let him down..."

She was even more conflicted in her heart than she was on the outside. On the one hand, she was moved by Jiao Shun, and she had already fully agreed, but on the other hand, she was unavoidably affected by worldly ideas and felt that she should never be like this.

"I know I know!"

Mrs. Wang stretched out her hand and patted her arm, sighing: "Although I didn't become a widow at a young age like you, I am no different from being a widow now - to be honest with you, if there really is Brother Xishun

Even if a young and promising person treats me so heart-to-heart, I'm afraid I may not be able to control it!"

"elder sister!"

When Aunt Xue heard these words of approval for her actions for the first time, she couldn't help but be moved by her sister's support and protection for her. Tears filled her beautiful eyes with excitement, and she couldn't help but throw herself into Mrs. Wang's arms and cry.

But suddenly I heard a maid outside calling out: "The eldest lady is here."

Aunt Xue's forward movement suddenly froze, then she turned her back in embarrassment and hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

In the yard.

When Xue Baochai saw that the servants, women and maids were outside the door, he subconsciously stopped.

She was originally in Baoqin's room, telling her some trivial matters at home, so that Baoqin could come to work at any time and help her prepare for her brother's marriage.

During this period, Leng Buding heard that Mrs. Wang was coming and hurriedly took Baoqin with him to pay her respects.

Now that I saw this formation, I suddenly realized that my aunt was here for something important.

Just as he was trying to figure out what was going on, he suddenly saw a small mercury mirror in front of his eyes.

Baochai looked at his reflection inside and was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Baoqin: "What are you doing?"

"Hehe~"

Bao Qin pursed her lips and smiled coquettishly, shaking the small mirror in her hand and saying: "Only ugly daughters-in-law are afraid of meeting their parents-in-law. My sister is naturally beautiful, so what is there to be afraid of?"

"Bah~"

Baochai snatched the small mirror with his hand and said angrily: "How long have you lived in Xiaoxiang Pavilion? How come you have contracted your sister Lin's habit of making fun of people?"

However, after Baoqin interrupted her, she suddenly realized that a few months later, the person inside was not only her aunt, but also her mother-in-law.

This thought made her really timid.

"What are you doing standing outside? Come in and talk."

By chance, Mrs. Wang's greeting came from inside. Xue Baochai quickly calmed down her thoughts and walked into the living room with Baoqin.

And until the two of them met, Aunt Xue's return gift was still a bit panicked.

This can't be blamed on her. Just now, the two of them were talking about private exchanges, and now they are suddenly facing two juniors, and they can't help but feel a little hot.

In fact, Mrs. Wang was also a little uncomfortable, but she still had some sense of security. She tried her best to pretend that nothing was wrong and said with a smile: "I heard your mother said that you are taking care of the whole family?"

"Don't listen to mom's nonsense."

Baochai also smiled and said: "Not to mention that my mother and aunt take the decision on big things. My brother and Xue Biao are already in the house, so there are many things that I don't need to take care of."

Mrs. Wang was very satisfied with her attitude of not taking credit and being arrogant. She nodded and was about to ask a few more questions about housework. Next to her, Baoqin suddenly pushed Baochai to her and said with a smile: "Godmother, I want you to do it right away."

As a rule, we will wait until next year to talk about it. There is only your niece in front of you. You don’t care about her, but why are you asking here and there? "

Although admitting their daughter was a bit anticlimactic, the two finally settled on their relationship.

Saying that, Bao Qin pushed Baochai on the back again.

Baochai staggered for half a step, and Mrs. Wang hugged her and said with a smile: "Come on, this Qin girl will never be rude."

"Then what I said is indeed reasonable."

As Bao Qin spoke, she carelessly pushed herself into Aunt Xue's arms and said with a smile: "Auntie's body is soft and fragrant, but my sister always takes over it. This time I can get it."

Seeing her innocent and quirky look, everyone burst out laughing, and there was no disharmony at all.

Xue Baochai also took advantage of the situation and snuggled in Mrs. Wang's arms for a while, but she didn't adapt to it. So while pouring tea for the two of them, she stood up and said: "Auntie came back this time, but why didn't she send anyone to stand in front of her?

"

"I came in such a hurry that I didn't even bother to stand in front."

Mrs. Wang waved her hand, knowing that she was asking her why she was here, so she recounted the whole story again.

Hearing that it was related to Jia Baoyu's future, Baochai immediately became concerned and asked for a few details. Unfortunately, Mrs. Wang only had second-hand information, and she was not familiar with the imperial official system.

I can only make a rough guess.

Baochai was not very satisfied with this, but he also knew that if he continued to ask, he would not get the answer he wanted, so he changed the subject: "But I don't know... how does Baoyu view this matter?"

She originally said "Brother Bao", but thinking that Baoyu would become her husband soon, she temporarily changed to calling him by his first name.

"this……"

Mrs. Wang was stunned when she was asked, and then she realized that the whole family was in a commotion, but no one thought to ask Jia Baoyu about the person involved.

However, given Jia Baoyu's consistent attitude, his reaction to this is not difficult to predict.

…………

"Being an official?!"

In Zhujin Tower, Jia Baoyu, who had no self-awareness, was complaining because Princess Nan'an did not invite him, the founder of the society, but suddenly he heard from Jia Tanchun that he was likely to study engineering and become an official.

.

He immediately jumped three feet high and shouted angrily: "What kind of official do you want to be? Why should I be an official? I don't want to be an official!"

Faced with his furious look, Tanchun explained helplessly: "I didn't want to force my brother to become an official, but this time he was plotted by an outside party. The master was worried about this. For the sake of his brother, my wife was even planning to go to the Jiao family to ask for it in person.

Brother Jiao comes forward."
