[Let me be clear, Daiyu will not be with Baoyu, but there will be a process for the two parties to break up! 】
The young eunuch who passed the message left, but the Xue family mother and daughter were no longer calm.
I thought I could go on my way in peace, but I didn't know I would encounter something like this.
Confused, Aunt Xue called Baochai over, and the mother and daughter discussed the matter.
"Bao girl, what is the purpose of Thirteenth Master's arrangement like this?"
The intention is actually meaningless, but because the status gap is too big, the farts above have to be carefully studied by the bottom.
"This time my daughter is going to be selected to serve as an attendant. Although the Thirteenth Master is willing to help, I am afraid that he is worried that his daughter is not talented enough, so he sent someone to find out!"
Xue Baochai analyzed it carefully and found that this was indeed a normal possibility. Unfortunately, Zhu Jinghong really didn't think so.
Aunt Xue nodded and said, "So, your candidacy for serving as a student begins today!"
"Then you should be treated well and try to satisfy the Thirteenth Master today!"
…………
After lunch, the team returning to Beijing was resting. Zhang Ping'an led a small sedan and rushed in the direction of Xue's family.
The wind blew and the sedan curtain was lifted, and Yinglian was seen frowning.
"Miss Yinglian, are you still worried?"
Zhang Pingan said with relief: "Didn't Thirteenth Master say that the Xue family's eldest son is not at home, so you don't have to worry!"
Yinglian looked miserable: "Brother Zhang, I'll go there later. If Miss Xue's vision is high and she doesn't want to talk to me..."
Among the eunuchs around Zhu Jinghong, Yinglian and Zhang Pingan had the best relationship simply because they were the first to come into contact.
"Miss Yinglian, you are here at the request of the Thirteenth Master. Not to mention the small Xue family, even the four princes and eight princes do not dare to neglect you, so just keep your heart in mind!"
Zhang Ping'an said with great pride: "No matter how high the Xue family's family status is, what does it mean to the palace?"
After hearing this, Yinglian felt a little calmer, just hoping that it wouldn't be too embarrassing later.
Soon they arrived at the Xue family's team. At this moment, the Xue family's mother and daughter had also had lunch and were sitting quietly in the carriage waiting.
After hearing the maid's report, the two of them got out of the carriage and personally greeted the arriving Yinglian.
The male servants of the Xue family are all outside, and the carriage is surrounded by female relatives, so there is no need to show their faces.
"I've met my wife, girl!" Yinglian looked extremely polite.
Taking Yinglian's slender hand, Aunt Xue praised: "This girl is really handsome, she deserves to be from the palace!"
However, Baochai knew that the girl Yinglian in front of him was the one his brother and the Feng family were fighting over.
So she knew about this because she naturally heard what Xue Pan said.
When Baochai looked at Yinglian, the latter was also looking at her secretly.
Yinglian has always been confident about her appearance, but when she saw Baochai, she felt inferior.
Especially the other party's graceful temperament is one of a kind, but it doesn't feel like being repelled thousands of miles away.
"Bao girl, now that I'm here, you have to take good care of me. Don't let Miss Yinglian suffer any injustice!"
Zhang Pingan was right. Yinglian's worries were completely unnecessary. Aunt Xue's attitude said otherwise.
"Come with me!"
Baochai's smile made Yinglian feel like a spring breeze, and she gradually let down her guard, and she was pulled by Baochai to the carriage.
The two got on the carriage. Xue Baochai was not eager to discuss knowledge, but chatted about home affairs with Yinglian.
For example, what do you eat on weekdays, what do you play with, what do you do in the palace, and what are the strange and interesting things...
Through these small talk, Baochai's enthusiasm and considerateness made Yinglian gradually let down her guard.
After the chatter was over, Baochai asked, "I'm talking about discussing knowledge. I wonder what you don't understand? Although I've read a few more books, I'm not omniscient and omnipotent, but let's discuss it together!"
"I……"
How could she discuss knowledge with others when she couldn't even read a word? Yinglian felt a little embarrassed when she thought of this, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Yinglian?"
"Well... Master Thirteen said, let me learn to read with the girl first!"
After hearing this, Xue Baochai suddenly froze in place.
Shouldn't it be to discuss knowledge and determine whether you can be selected as a scholar?
Teaching people to read and write, is the princess not yet enlightened? Xue Baochai felt incredible.
But then he thought about it, Zhu Jinghong was almost an adult, and his writing skills were only about that, so it was not surprising that the princess looked like this.
"You don't understand those words, let me teach you!"
Soon Xue Baochai adjusted his position and started explaining to Yinglian.
Traveling in a hurry is boring, but between the two of them teaching, they are no longer bored.
Time flies, two hours pass in the blink of an eye, and the inn station where we are stationed today has arrived.
"Uh... I was so absorbed in studying today that I even forgot about the time. Now I have reached the resting place!"
"No, no, I have to go back quickly. I'm afraid Thirteenth Master will have dinner!" Yinglian stood up in a hurry.
Seeing her panic, Baochai couldn't help but ask: "You're too late to go back. Your Thirteenth Master wants to punish you?"
"I won't punish you, I'm afraid I'm neglecting the Thirteenth Master!"
Before getting off the carriage, Yinglian smiled slightly: "Thank you very much for today, girl!"
Xue Baochai also smiled and said: "Such a trivial matter is of no importance. You'd better go back quickly... don't want to be punished by your father!"
"Why!"
After getting off the carriage, Yinglian greeted the Xue family's maid, and then got into the sedan chair, led by Zhang Ping'an and drove all the way forward.
Seeing the sedan disappear, Ying'er just sighed: "It's rare in the world for a girl to be able to do this!"
My young lady has a body of gold, but she is not worthy of talking to a royal girl!
Besides, when Yinglian arrived at the inn and asked Yu Hai, she learned that Zhu Jinghong had been called over by the prince.
The main hall of the inn has been reorganized and turned into a restaurant for Brother Zhu Jinghong.
There are eunuchs and maids in the room, and there are a large number of armored guards outside the room. The three floors inside and outside are very busy.
After the meal was handed over, Zhu Jinghong became rude and started eating and drinking on the spot, showing no trace of the self-restraint of a royal heir.
This made the prince feel uncomfortable, so he reminded him: "Old Thirteen, can you be a little embarrassed? Aren't you afraid of others laughing at you?"
"A joke? Who of them dares to laugh?" Zhu Jinghong looked to the left and right.
All the eunuchs and maids lowered their heads, how dare they pay attention to Zhu Jinghong's eating appearance.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Jinghong said with emotion: "Fourth brother, you... are too particular about your appearance!"
But then, he said with a smile on his face: "Fourth brother, just eat happily, I have to be like you, eat and drink in small bites... What a waste of time!"
"Are you still reasonable?"
Seeing that Zhu Jinghong was not afraid of scalding dead pigs with boiling water, Zhu Jingyuan did not want to delve deeper.
After all, even His Majesty the Emperor can't change Zhu Jinghong's bad habits, so what can he, Zhu Jingyuan, do? Of course I choose to forgive!
"I would like to remind you that there are many memorials to impeach you in the court, so don't do anything wrong again!"
Zhu Jingyuan originally wanted to say, don't fool around with Westerners, but Zhu Jinghong said: "Fourth brother...you should worry about yourself!"
"I have read the Di newspaper. There are more officials in the imperial court impeaching the Crown Prince than me!"
"you……"
Zhu Jingyuan choked on his words for a moment, he was really worried about this matter.
"Eat first, eat first, what are you thinking about?" Zhu Jinghong laughed.
After snorting coldly, Zhu Jingyuan stopped talking.
"By the way, have you prepared a gift for the Emperor's Holy Birthday Festival? "This..."
The prince suddenly asked this question, which stumped Zhu Jinghong.
Recall that what he gave to the Supreme Emperor last year was a wooden sword he whittled himself.
At that time, the emperor's expression changed. He scolded him for taking the wrong step when entering the house, and ordered him to be escorted out and beaten with twenty sticks.
Thanks to "Can't Think of a Name", "Jingsheng" and "Book Friend 20210301106577573658" for the rewards!
