The news of Deng An's arrival soon reached the ears of the Jia family.
Aunt Xue was chatting with Mrs. Wang. When they heard the news, they couldn't sit still and immediately set off for Lixiangyuan.
"Sister, my master and I are being bullied like this now. When we meet our father-in-law who is visiting us soon, you should say a few more words for us!" Mrs. Wang said with an aggrieved look on her face.
She actually wanted Yuanchun to help, but it was a pity that after her daughter got married, she seemed to have been cut off from the Rongguo Mansion. Not to mention helping, she didn't even say hello a few times a year.
This time such a big thing happened in the family, Yuan Chun not only failed to help, but also sent someone to send a message to reprimand, which made Mrs. Wang heartbroken.
However, from Yuanchun's point of view, Mrs. Wang is the pro version of Aunt Zhao, who is extremely stupid and ignorant of the general situation.
"Oh...I'll try my best!" Aunt Xue was helpless.
After listening to Baochai's analysis, Aunt Xue knew the situation very well and knew that helping her sister, Mrs. Wang, might harm her.
After many conversations with Mrs. Wang these days, Aunt Xue has been trying to enlighten her sister, hoping that she can accept the reality.
Let's say that Jia She took Deng An all the way to the outside of Lixiang Courtyard. At this time, Mrs. Xing also rushed over.
Entering the courtyard, Jia She immediately ordered: "Please ask your wives to come out to greet you. Eunuch Deng is here!"
"Sir, our wife is out!"
"Then why don't you hurry up and look for her!" Mrs.
The movement in the yard also disturbed everyone in the house. Out of curiosity, they all leaned towards the window to check.
"Who is that person in the middle? How could he be so domineering!" Yingchun couldn't help but speak.
Wang Xifeng sighed: "Everyone in the palace is like this!"
When she was running the house before, she was often ripped off by the eunuchs in the palace, and she had no kind words for these people.
At this time, Tanchun asked curiously: "Why do people in the palace come to find my aunt?"
Wang Xifeng guessed the reason and looked at Baochai.
"I'll go out and take a look!" Baochai said calmly.
"How about waiting for aunt to come back?" Daiyu was full of worry.
Several visits to the palace disturbed the peace of Rongguo Mansion, so Daiyu regarded these people as disaster stars.
Now these people have come to the Xue family, which only makes Daiyu worried, fearing that Baochai is up to something.
Baochai smiled, stroked Daiyu's thin shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, sister. When I really enter the palace, I will have to deal with these people!"
After saying this, Baochai walked to the main hall and then walked out of the door.
Seeing her appearance, Deng An, who was putting on a show, immediately put on a smile and trotted towards Baochai.
"Slave Deng An, I have met Miss Xue!"
Deng An treated him so differently, which really made Jia She, who was standing behind him, heartbroken. He was not as good as a junior.
All this is because Deng An is a first-class smart man and knows his master's thoughts very well.
He rewarded Xue Baochai with things, promised to let Baochai be selected as the princess's attendant, asked Yinglian to worship Baochai as his teacher, let the Xue family live in the palace, and also rewarded the Xue family with things...
Doing so many things cannot be because of Mrs. Xue's family, let alone Xue Pan, so the answer is ready to come out.
Walking down the steps, with a distance of ten feet from Deng An, Baochai asked, "Eunuch Deng, I wonder if I can teach you anything during this trip?"
"Master Thirteen ordered me to come over and ask, when will Uncle Xue return to the capital?"
Although he said this, Deng An knew very well that the real purpose of Zhu Jinghong sending him here was for what he was going to say next.
At this moment, Deng An couldn't help but sigh. The Thirteenth Master didn't regard him as one of his own, otherwise why would he be beating around the bush.
"I received a letter three days ago, saying that it would take some time. I really can't say when I will return to Beijing!"
Deng An didn't care about this, but continued: "Uncle Xue is running errands for the Thirteenth Master, leaving the girl and her family helpless. The Thirteenth Master has given instructions... If the girl has any difficulties, you can just ask!"
"Thank you, Thirteenth Master, for your concern!"
"Now that the words have been brought, I will not disturb the girl anymore. Take my leave..."
"Father-in-law, walk slowly!"
When Deng An turned around, Jia She and his wife immediately greeted him, flattering him beyond words.
However, Deng An regained his dead face, which really made Jia She very angry, but he had to accompany him with a smiling face.
After Deng An left, Daiyu and others came out of the room, and Baochai turned around to greet them.
"Why are you leaving now? Auntie hasn't arrived yet?" Daiyu asked.
Wang Xifeng smiled and replied: "This little eunuch is unusual. He left after passing the message without even asking for a reward!"
"Who can explain clearly what is going on in the palace? Let's not look for trouble!" Baochai agreed, not wanting to dwell on the matter any more.
As a person involved, she could see clearly that the real purpose of Deng An's trip was her.
"Okay, okay, no matter who he is, let's continue to go in and play!" Wang Xifeng didn't care, she just wanted to know that the Xue family was doing well.
Being able to attract Zhu Jinghong to send someone to greet him was already extremely good in Wang Xifeng's opinion.
Soon, Aunt Xue led Mrs. Wang over. They met Deng An on the road, but the latter didn't say much.
Out of curiosity, Aunt Xue returned to Lixiangyuan and wanted to find out more about Baochai.
After asking about the situation, Aunt Xue didn't think much about it, but Mrs. Wang had the same thoughts as Wang Xifeng.
The Xue family might be able to get up in the future, just to help him. If the two families can get married, they will be completely tied together...
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang looked at Baochai. The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she felt, so she began to make plans in her mind.
With the elders here, several girls felt uncomfortable.
Mrs. Wang talked to Baochai for a while, and when she said goodbye and left, Tanchun and others also left.
"Miss Lin, just stay here. We'll have lunch and then leave!" Aunt Xue invited her enthusiastically.
Daiyu had this intention and immediately thanked her: "That's... it would be disrespectful!"
"Sister Bao, let's go inside and play!" Daiyu looked at Baochai and then directly pulled her in.
Baochai had no choice but to follow them in.
After helping Baochai sit on the chair, Daiyu also drove the girl out of the house, which made Baochai confused.
Turning around and walking towards the desk, Daiyu picked up the paperweight and slapped it on the table with a "pop" sound, which startled Xue Baochai.
"Sister Lin, what kind of trick are you playing?"
Unexpectedly, Daiyu turned around and said seriously: "Sister Bao... sit down, I want to interrogate you!"
"Interrogating me?" Baochai was surprised and found it funny at the same time.
"Lin Qingtian, why do you want to interrogate me?"
Walking towards Baochai, Daiyu said slowly: "Sister Bao, please tell me, what is your relationship with Master Thirteen?"
"Why is that eunuch so respectful to you? Why does he care about your troubles? Why does he give Sister Bao so many good things? Why..."
Daiyu is smart and observes things carefully. During this time, she discovered many strange things at Baochai's place.
For example, there are various gifts given by the emperor, and Baochai's expression and eyes change obviously every time he mentions Zhu Jinghong.
At this moment, Baochai's expression suddenly changed as these circumstances were revealed one by one.
"Sister, what do you mean?"
"Sister Bao, are you unwilling to tell the truth? Then let me tell you... there is only one truth!"
Seeing Daiyu's confident look, Baochai asked unconsciously: "What's the truth?"
Daiyu walked around behind Baochai and said with a smile: "It must be Master Thirteen who falls in love with you, and Sister Bao... you also fall in love with Master Thirteen!"
"You damn girl, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Baochai was so embarrassed that she stood up and tried to pull Daiyu, but the latter was already prepared and easily avoided it.
Seeing Daiyu laughing, Baochai was also very angry. She could have just said what she said casually.
"If I don't teach you a lesson today, you will rebel even more in the future!"
In order to avoid being "retaliated", Daiyu ran out of the house with a smile, and Baochai also chased her out. At this time, she could no longer care about her ladylike image.
While trotting, Daiyu said with a smile: "In my opinion, if Sister Bao is elected to serve as an attendant, I'm afraid she is just a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking!"
"How dare you talk nonsense... Let me see if I don't tear your mouth apart!" Baochai became more and more angry.
"Girl, what's going on? Run slower...be careful of stumbling!"
At this moment, outside Lixiang Courtyard, Jia Baoyu came over secretly. Just because he learned that Daiyu was here, he sneaked over to see her.
Listening to the noise of the children playing inside, Jia Baoyu was immediately overjoyed. Compared to spending time in school every day now, having fun with her sisters was more interesting!
As soon as he walked into the door, he heard Daiyu talking, so he asked loudly: "Sister Lin, why is this drunkard not interested in drinking?"
Hearing this word again, Baochai was furious, stopped and looked at Jia Baoyu with a bad expression.
"It has nothing to do with you!" Baochai's tone was cold.
The more he looked at Baoyu, the more angry he felt. Baochai couldn't help scolding: "Why are you in the inner house again? Believe it or not, I will report it to my uncle!"
These words frightened Baoyu so much that he immediately said, "Sister Bao, I'm going back now!"
Turning around, Baoyu couldn't help but murmur in her heart: "Sister Bao is very easy-going, what happened today? I haven't even spoken to Sister Lin yet!"
