Chapter 397 Good Fortune

"Bao girl, why don't you go?"

Seeing a group of Jia sisters and Sister Feng dragging Jia Qiang to eat at a big restaurant, Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Xue all laughed.

But when she found Baochai still sitting, Jia Mu asked confused.

On weekdays, Baochai is not unsocial.

Baochai smiled quickly and said, "It's just one watermelon. It's enough for so many people to take it."

Jia Mu smiled and said: "It's just for fun, who really wants to eat those two bites?"

Baochai paused and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I won't have fun with my sisters in the future. The princess is very quiet and is used to being naughty. It would be bad if I work as an errand next to the princess and reveal my true nature." "

Jia Mu chuckled and said, "I've seen the Princess of the Yin family, and she is indeed very quiet. It's just that...she doesn't sit still like an ordinary idiot. She has that charm in her body. It doesn't matter. , why is it that you are not allowed to move around? Moreover, although her family is expensive, you are here to be a female official, not a maid and slave, so just respect her and don’t treat yourself harshly."

Mrs. Wang also smiled slowly and said: "Being a female official is also done in Dongfu, just like at home. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Mother Jia hurriedly said: "It's always a good thing to be cautious. Bao Ya has always been prudent, so it's good to be cautious like this, but there is no need to be cautious now." After a pause, she asked again: "What did you and the princess talk about?"

Baochai smiled and said: "It's nothing. He just asked me what books I had read. Knowing that I came from the southern province, he also asked about the local customs in the south... The princess' handwriting is very good, which is interesting to say. , Brother Qiang’s words were written according to Mr. Fu Weng’s wishes. Unexpectedly, the princess did the same.”

"Ouch!"

When Jia Mu heard this, she was surprised and said, "Is there such a fate?"

Baochai praised: "The princess's words are like clouds rolling around, and the breeze is blowing, which is particularly natural. Every time you look at it casually, you can see the uniqueness of Feng Shen. She is amazing, we are not as good as her... Others, it's okay, San If this girl sees her, she will definitely fall in love with her."

Tanchun has the best calligraphy, and several desks in the room are filled with ink brushwork.

Jia's mother doubted, "How can Brother Qiang write such good calligraphy?"

Baochai smiled and said, "I heard from Sister Lin that Brother Qiang still practices calligraphy diligently every day, and Master Lin and her aunt are supervising her."

Jia's mother didn't take it seriously. The Jia family was a martial arts family. If they knew a few words, they shouldn't be blind. How good could they write? What's the point?

She has never asked for so much from Baoyu...

But it was hard to say anything. Suddenly he remembered something and hurriedly said to Baochai: "Baochai, I'd better take a car to Dongfu and tell Brother Qiang that I said what I said. If there are still a few left, I'll send them to Yin's house." Two go. If there's only one, let's stop being greedy today and just give it to someone else. I owe you a lot of favors. Although this melon isn't worth anything, it's still a token of my gratitude."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "I think the sisters are not willing to give in. They have been making trouble for a long time."

Jia Mu waved her hand and said: "Since Brother Qiang has opened his mouth here, there will definitely not be only one. Besides, there is not one here, but there may be one over there in Buzhengfang. Ask Yu'er for one. Yu'er can come over. I must have thought that Brother Qiang had already sent it here, otherwise he would have sent it here long ago."

Baochai had no choice but to accept the errand and went to Dongfu with a smile.

When there were only a few adults left in the Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu asked Aunt Xue: "Auntie, the Yin family has said, how many years will Bao Yatou be allowed to be a female official? Other talented people praised her, more for three to five years, less for less. In the past one or two years, how many years has her family been talking about?"

When Aunt Xue heard this, she sighed and said, "I didn't say that, I just said that we want to be together for a long time and get along as a family."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang's face changed slightly, and she looked at Aunt Xue with some pity in her eyes.

Jia's mother was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "The Yin family is still worried that her daughter will be wronged when she comes to the Jia family, so she specially selected Bao Yatou to be the talented person Zanshan. With Bao Yatou here, the Yin family girl Wouldn’t it be much more convenient here?”

Mrs. Wang frowned and said: "Even so, there is no reason to continue doing it for a long time?"

Jia Mu shook her head and said: "It is different from the ordinary praise of talents. Others are arranged a few years before leaving the cabinet. Bao Yatou is after leaving the cabinet. Judging from the Queen's meaning, it seems a bit like..."

Although the words were not spoken, the meaning was obvious.

The palace maid who has been in the palace for a long time has become an old aunt and a nurturing mother. What’s missing?

Seeing Aunt Xue's tears falling, Mother Jia comforted her and said, "It's not really like that. After the princess comes to live with her for two years, the Yin family will understand how she is living in the Jia family, so they will let her go."

Aunt Xue didn't have much confidence after hearing this. Just looking at the Yin family's attitude towards her, with obvious politeness, she knew that the Xue family was of no importance in their eyes. How could they have any room to bargain with them?

Perhaps in the eyes of the Yin family, especially the Queen Yin, the Yin family is Baochai's savior, and Baochai should be committed to serving her for the rest of his life...

"Don't rush it yet, the left and right are still young, let's wait and see again in two years."

Mrs. Wang advised in a gentle voice.

She also sympathized with Aunt Xue and Baochai, who were her biological sisters and nieces after all.

However, she would not have any objections.

Being on good terms with the Yin family is very important to Yuanchun's ability to live a stable life in the palace.

If you make good friends with Queen Yin, Yuanchun's life in the palace will be much easier.

If I could have another son and a half daughters, then...

Baoyu can have a prince, county king or princess nephew, this is the most important thing!

As for Baochai, let’s look at her fortune...



Dongfu.

In a small courtyard east of Neiyi Gate.

When the sisters saw that the ground was covered with about ten centimeters of wheat straw and there were six or seven watermelons piled in the haystack, they all followed Sister Feng and laughed happily.

Baoyu was about to go in, but Jia Qiang took him out with one hand and said: "Don't go in and move around. These are all very special. If you mess with them, they will be broken."

Tan Chunqi asked: "Is there something special about putting watermelon?"

Jia Qiang raised her chin, motioning her to look at the floor of the house, and said, "Did you see that, in order to store them properly, even the floor tiles were lifted to expose the dirt floor. Do you think these melons are placed casually? There is a lot of knowledge inside. Did you see that each one of them must maintain the state of field growth. The side we see now is called the 'melon back', which is the side that originally faced the sun and should be upward. The one hidden in the wheat straw is called the 'melon belly', which is the original side. The side of the ground that touches the ground should be kept facing down.

This way, we can keep it longer. This year is also a bit rushed. When I have some time next year, I will build a greenhouse in my house. I don’t have to transport the children from the south and plant them myself! I will plant them when there is frost in autumn and it will snow. Just in time for it.”

Yingchun exclaimed: "God! You are so good at using this..."

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "I don't really like eating this."

Xiangyun curled his lips and said, "You're a liar! If you don't like eating, why do you spend so much effort?"

Jia Qiang said: "Sister Lin, you love to eat. How about I ask someone to get watermelons from the south?"

As soon as these words came out, the sisters immediately stopped talking. They felt that the watermelon that had not yet reached their mouths had no taste at all.

Sister Feng really couldn't stand it, so she said "ouch ouch" a few times and said: "Qiang'er, you are a first-class waiter after all, that's enough! Show off your power outside and at home, and be overbearing, so I leave all the good things to you. Sister Lin? We are all closely related by blood, I don’t believe it, she’s just so much worse than Sister Lin!”

Everyone laughed, and Tan Chun sighed: "Looking back at Chang'an, there are piles of embroidery, and thousands of gates are opened on the top of the mountain. The red concubine on the horse is laughing, and no one knows that it is Litchi. Brother Qiang's behavior is not as good as that of Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty who doted on Concubine Yang. How close."

Yingchun smiled and said: "So, Sister Lin is about to become Concubine Yang?"

Xichun chuckled and said, "How can it be like that?"

Baoyu's expression was incomprehensible, and she said in a complicated tone: "Sister Lin... is too thin. Sister Bao is rich and timid, and she is more like Concubine Yang..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a cold snort coming from behind him.

Baoyu was startled when he heard this voice, and then he realized that the sisters around him were holding back their laughter. Turning around, he saw Baochai standing there, looking at him with undisguised anger, and said, "I'm like Concubine Yang, it’s just that no good brother or brother can be as good as Yang Guozhong!"

These days, if you really think about it, Concubine Yang is really not a good woman.

In Keqing's bedroom, there is also a papaya that An Lushan threw and injured Taizhen's breasts, which shows what kind of moral character this woman has in the eyes of the world.

Furthermore, in the Tang Dynasty, plumpness was regarded as beauty, not fat people, but girls with big breasts.

From this point of view, Baoyu should not have said this.

The other thing is that although Xue Pan is a bastard, he doesn't treat Baochai badly at all.

Baochai had always thought too much, but Baoyu also mocked her brother, how could she not be angry?

Recently, she has been feeling sad about her life and fate...

When the other sisters saw that Baochai was really angry, they were frightened by his aura and found it difficult to persuade her.

Sister Feng didn't know what she was thinking. She glanced at Baochai's chest, then looked at Jia Qiang with a half-smile.

She was someone who had experienced it, and she knew that the sleazy scholar-officials of that time had all said that women should be extremely beautiful with pigeon breasts that cannot be grasped, and those who have large breasts are mostly vulgar wet nurses.

After the wives of wealthy families gave birth, they did not breastfeed themselves, but left them to the wet nurse.

Firstly, maybe she has less breast milk, and secondly, in order to maintain pigeon breast milk, she cannot have a girl with big breasts.

But as far as Sister Feng knows, the two girls in Jia Qiang's room are not young at all, which shows what he likes...

The Yin family is also very interesting in doing things, making Baochai become the talented girl of the Yin family. Tsk tsk, what is the difference between this and the girl who stays with the room?

Sure enough, when Jia Qiang saw that no one was trying to smooth things over, she was surprised, so she stepped forward and patted Baoyu on the shoulder, and said to Baochai: "How about I hold him down and you trace marks on his face and do it again?" He will know the nonsense in the day, and give him a long memory so that he will not talk nonsense later."

Everyone laughed, and Baoyu apologized to the girl for never bumping into her. He bowed and said, "Good sister, it's all my fault. I didn't mean that."

Baochai didn't want to go into details, so he shook his head and said to Jia Qiang: "The old lady said that if there are any leftovers, send some to the Yin family. If there is only one, then send it directly to the Yin family. They helped us. There are many. Although a melon is not worth anything, it is just a token of appreciation."

Jia Qiang nodded, looked back at the seven watermelons piled on the wheat straw in the room, and said, "Leave one for Sister Lin, she may not have any more..."

Originally there were twenty in total, but the Lin Mansion sent twelve. There were only three serious masters there, so there was no way they could eat them all. One was left just to show status.

He went in and took out two more, gave one to Sister Feng and the other to Tan Chun, and said: "Send these two to Rongqing Hall, one for the old lady, my wife and my concubine, and one for you to share and taste."

He also called Qingwen and Xiangling, who were standing far behind, and asked each of them to pick up one, and said: "One will be sent to the back street to my aunt's house, and the other will be divided between you and Baoqin, Chu'er and the twelve officials.

Each person tastes a little with a spoon. Thanks to Xiao Jiao'er and Xiao Jixiang went to the Lin Mansion to play with Xue Yan, otherwise it wouldn't be enough."

He hugged the last two and said, "Just give these two to the Yin family. Look at them all. None of them are gone. Don't come here to fight against the rich again."

The sisters laughed, but Sister Feng handed the watermelon in her hand to Baoyu and said, "You go first, Qiang'er and I will discuss an important matter."

The sisters didn't think much about anything else, they just said: "You have to hurry up, otherwise don't blame us for not leaving it for you!"

After all the teasing, everyone left laughing and joking...
