About an hour later, the banquet in Jia Mu's courtyard ended, and someone close to her came to the hall to talk again.
Only Mrs. Xing left with Jia She on the grounds of physical discomfort. Continuing to stay at Jia's mother's place would indeed make her uncomfortable.
Everyone chatted in Jia Mu's courtyard for half an hour before saying goodbye and leaving. It was already late at night.
There is no doubt that Aunt Xue is the happiest person today. She has never been so happy in her life.
"Bao girl, what happened today... I never expected that the Queen would value you so much!"
"Our Xue family is so lucky!"
Listening to her mother's emotion, Baochai just smiled, so calm that Aunt Xue became anxious.
"Baochai...you entered the palace, did you see the Thirteenth Master?"
She was still feeling emotional just now, but now she mentioned this again. Baochai admired her mother's brain circuit very much.
"Mom...what do you mean by this?"
"The Thirteenth Master has done a great favor to our family and saved my life. From now on in the palace... we must not be rude when encountering you!"
Aunt Xue's true thoughts are not like this, these words are just excuses.
After coming to the capital for so long, she has not gained anything. At least she has learned about the other functions of the imperial court, such as marriage with the royal family and so on.
In her opinion, if Baochai operates properly, there is still a chance to win a prince's concubine.
As for the princess... Aunt Xue had thought about it before, but after getting to know more aristocratic families in the capital, she no longer dared to make such a thought.
Even being selected as an attendant was beyond her expectation, even though Zhu Jinghong had greeted her before.
Hearing her mother's nagging, Xue Baochai said impatiently: "I know!"
Although he is open-minded and knows how to advance and retreat, he is only fifteen years old after all, and he still can act petty in front of his mother.
At this time, Aunt Xue continued: "I don't know when your brother will come back, and I don't know how long it will take to fill the vacancy!"
In the past, Baochai would have been worried about this matter, but now she has no such worries.
She believed that Zhu Jinghong would not treat her brother poorly if he did the job well, and it would only take one sentence to make up for the vacancy.
"Mom...it's late at night, go back and rest early!"
Aunt Xue looked doting on her face and said, "We can't rest yet, you have to leave tomorrow and you have to pack your things tonight!"
…………
When the Xue family's mother and daughter were getting ready to get busy, Wang Xifeng on the other side had just returned to his residence, and Jia Lian only came back a little earlier than him.
Wang Xifeng had been away for more than an hour, and this guy hooked up with his wife in the house and came back at the right time.
After having a good time, Jia Lian was obviously in a good mood and even went to the yard to welcome him.
"How was the drink tonight?"
"Everyone is very happy. Even the gentlemen have gone. Why haven't I seen you coming?" Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian.
After entering the room, he took the towel from the girl's hand, Jia Lian handed it to Wang Xifeng and said, "What a coincidence...my brother Lu came to see me again and passed on the Thirteenth Master's message!"
There is no doubt that Lu Yuxin is being used as a shield, which shows that no meal can be eaten in vain.
"Master Thirteen is sending you a message? Don't fool me!" Wang Xifeng felt suspicious instinctively.
Sitting on the chair and looking at his wife who was dressing up, Jia Lian said with a smile: "Why did I lie to you... The Thirteenth Master sent a message specifically to explain to Sister Xue!"
The best way to make a lie not look like a lie is to lie half-truth, and Jia Lian knows this very well.
Putting down the towel and taking the teacup from the girl's hand, Wang Xifeng sat on the chair on the other side and asked, "What do you want to tell Sister Xue?"
Jia Lian pretended to be relaxed and said: "The Thirteenth Master said, let me take good care of Sister Xue. If she is wronged...ask me!"
In fact, when he recalled the situation in the afternoon and the threat of Zhu Jinghong Chi Guoguo, he shuddered.
"The Thirteenth Master helped Sister Xue choose her as an attendant, and even made a special trip to tell you these words. It shows that he values Sister Xue very much!" Wang Xifeng said thoughtfully.
Jia Lian replied: "After all, the Xue family saved Master Thirteenth's life when we were in Yingtian. With such an experience... Master Thirteenth would not be grateful for his kindness!"
"I don't think it's that simple..."
"It's not easy. The Queen personally issued an order to commend her. Sister Xue is really capable!"
Speaking of this, Jia Lian thought of Yuanchun. Compared with the two, they were really two extremes.
Of course, this was not what Wang Xifeng was referring to, but it was just something that had not yet been mentioned, so it was not convenient for her to point it out at this moment.
Recalling what happened tonight, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but wonder: "You said... Sister Xue is such a good person, why can Baoyu be at odds with her?"
"What's going on?" Jia Lian instinctively sensed that something was going on inside, so he immediately asked.
"This afternoon at the ancestor's place, the two of them had a quarrel. At least the ancestor made peace with it... and that's all!"
As soon as Wang Xifeng finished speaking, she saw Jia Lian slapped the table and angrily shouted: "This bastard!"
"Someone... go and ask Baoyu to come over!"
No matter how favored Jia Baoyu is, as his elder brother Jia Lian has the right to teach him a lesson, and it is not against etiquette to order someone to teach him a lesson at this moment.
"Wait!"
Wang Xifeng stopped the servant, looked at Jia Lian and said to you: "It's so late, Baoyu must have fallen asleep. If you have anything, we can't talk about it tomorrow!"
Wang Xifeng had a good relationship with Baoyu. Seeing that Jia Lian was angry at this moment, he naturally wanted to defend himself.
"Let's talk tomorrow? What nonsense..." After saying that, Jia Lian stood up angrily.
"Master Thirteen said that if Sister Xue is wronged, she must expose me first!"
"Do you think Master Thirteen is joking?"
Looking at our daughter-in-law, Jia Lian's tone was also filled with anger. After speaking, he immediately threw up his sleeves and went out.
When she saw him going out, Wang Xifeng followed him out, and she was afraid that something big would happen.
However, Jia Lian was not stupid. Although he was angry, he did not make a fuss. If the fuss got louder, it would reach Zhu Jinghong's ears, and he might really be exposed.
So now he went to Baoyu just to warn this guy.
When he arrived outside Baoyu Courtyard, Jia Lian ordered his servant to knock on the door. The sound of "bang bang bang" was particularly harsh at night.
After a while, the door opened. Jia Lian pushed the door angrily and knocked down the girl who opened the door.
"Asshole!"
In anger, Jia Lian took advantage of the situation and kicked her, causing the girl to suffer an unreasonable disaster.
Wang Xifeng, who was following behind, saw that her husband was really angry, so she followed in worriedly.
"Second Master Lian..."
Hearing the noise, Xiren stood up and came out to greet them. He ordered people to light lamps and make tea.
When he took the main seat in the living room, Jia Lian said with a cold face: "Get Baoyu up!"
"yes!"
Jia Lian is the elder brother, so he can naturally raise an army to hold him accountable. How can Xiren dare to challenge him at this moment?
In fact, Baoyu had been awakened at this moment. After the attacker came in, he put on his robe and took him to the living room.
"Second brother!"
Looking at the sleepy Baoyu, Jia Lian said coldly: "Baoyu... I heard that you have gone crazy again, and now you dare to contradict your sister Baoyu!"
"What did I think? Second brother came here for this matter..."
Jia Baoyu didn't care, and the girls also breathed a sigh of relief. They all thought it was something big.
However, at this moment, Jia Lian punched the table and scolded: "You bastard... Miss Xue was valued and rewarded by the Queen, but you can't get along with her today, what are you worried about?"
Bringing out the empress would naturally show that Jia Lian was dedicated to serving the public good and was not coerced by someone.
Being scolded by Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but feel extremely aggrieved. Is this still the second brother who loves him so much?
At this moment, he looked at Wang Xifeng again, who had no expression on his face, but the disappointment in his eyes was obvious.
Because of Baochai, not only sister Lin has changed, but also the second brother and second sister-in-law have changed?
Jia Baoyu couldn't understand this question. He just hoped that Baochai would disappear quickly.
"Listen clearly, if you let me know again that you bullied Sister Xue..."
"I'll break your legs!"
Jia Lian's voice became more severe and his expression looked a little ferocious, which made Baoyu tremble with fear.
