Xue Baochai, as Baoyu said, behaves elegantly and generously. Although he is only fourteen or fifteen years old now, his behavior is extremely sophisticated. Not only did he call the maid to get the medicine, but he also took two more pills and told Brother Rong: "It's a coincidence that we both got sick together. One pill should be taken in the hospital with the Huangbai decoction. Later." If something goes wrong again, just ask the maids to make a bowl of Huangbai soup and take it together with Lengxiang pills."
Brother Rong took the medicine from Ying'er and said to Baochai repeatedly: "Thank you Aunt Xue for your good fortune."
Baochai smiled softly and said: "It's not an important matter. Relatives need to help each other. You'd better put on your coat first. The snow on the roof hasn't melted yet. It's so cold that you feel uncomfortable. .At that time, there will be no medicine for you in our hospital."
"It's easy. I'll take the medicine first and then change it." Brother Rong now knows what it means to have strong blood and not be afraid of the cold. It's just that he is not only strong today, but also extremely tough.
He swallowed the cold scented pills in his hand and drank the Huangbai soup from the narrator's maid.
bitter!
This is the first feeling when I enter the Huangbai Tang. I haven’t tasted anything so bitter in a long time. Brother Rong did some mental construction in his heart before closing his eyes and swallowing. Oddly enough, the warm soup mixed with the meatballs went into my stomach, but it still felt cool. After a while, the evil fire in my heart gradually diminished.
Brother Rong then put a coat on himself and said, "I never thought this medicine would be so bitter. It's so hard for my aunt."
Xue Pan was in a hurry to go to Wanhua Building, leaving them no time to chat, and said: "It's getting late, so don't talk anymore. Today is considered a date. When your aunt gets well tomorrow, our family will Let’s go to your East Mansion as a guest together. There will be time for you to chat then.”
"It's just that good medicine is bitter when tasted." Baoyu answered. He had been there a few times, but later he was too busy with his studies and had not been there for some time. After hearing Xue Pan's words, he became anxious. "Brother is right. Sister Bao needs to rest today, so we shouldn't disturb her here. There are still important things to do outside, so hurry up and get there."
Brother Rong had no choice but to accept Xue Pan Baoyu's invitation and separate from Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai respectively. He also said something like "relatives get closer the more they move around" and so on, inviting them to visit Dongfu.
Aunt Xue watched the three of them leave the yard and said, "It's rare for us to get a pair, so why did you give him meatballs?"
Xue Baochai took his mother with him and said, "It's just a few meatballs. If we run out, just take the time to make a pair. Shopkeepers from all over the country have been paying attention and they can always match them."
Aunt Xue said: "Brother Rong from Dongfu has nothing to do with your aunt. It's not like you haven't heard the complaints. It's just daily social activities, so how can you give him a favor? If you want your aunt to listen to it, you still don't know What to think."
"Brother Bao is still aunt's biological son, how can he play with Brother Rong? Aunt complaining about her own has nothing to do with us." Xue Baochai explained: "Yesterday you also heard the rumor that Rong from Dongfu My brother is now appreciated by King Zhongshun, and his future will be bright. It won't hurt for our family to make good friends with him now."
Aunt Xue sighed: "It's your eldest brother who fails to live up to expectations. If he can be half as good as you, I'll be proud too."
Xue Baochai was silent for a moment and said: "Although my brother is very happy, he also values friendship. It is a good thing that he can play with these brothers from the prince's family. I just pity my mother. In the future, when my daughter enters the palace, she will be by my mother's side." But there’s no one to take care of.”
Aunt Xue shook her head slightly. How could she not know that Baochai's illness today was due to the fact that she had not heard any news from the palace, and it was urgent. Looking at her daughter's appearance, she is also outstanding among the princes in Shenjing. In her eyes, there were few girls from the Jia, Wang, and Shi families who had the same appearance and temperament as her own daughters.
Why, there is still no news from the palace!
It would be great if my daughter were born as a boy!
Xue Baochai comforted him and said: "Today we worship poetry, respect etiquette, and search for talents. This is an unparalleled favor. In addition to the selection of concubines, all the daughters of famous officials are personally named Dabu. There are so many famous officials, even though they are for The princess and princess are enrolling as escorts, as a tribute to talented people! But it is also a very important matter, so the palace and the Ministry of Rites will naturally have to make plans, maybe after the beginning of spring."
The rules of the Yan Dynasty were different from those of other generations. Successive emperors would show favor and select their own princes and daughters to enter the palace. Even in the past, Prince Yi Zhong and Prince Yi Yong, although they did bad things, their children were taken into the palace and raised by Emperor Xian De. Another example is Prince Zhongshun, who had a daughter who was adopted as an adopted daughter by the emperor and was extremely favored by the emperor and the emperor. Although this girl was born as a princess, she now lives in the deep palace of Da Nei and is the fourth princess.
In this draft, in addition to looking for concubines in the harem, most of the other beautiful girls were arranged to live in the palaces of these princesses and princesses.
At this time, Xue Baochai was still thinking that as long as he could enter the palace, he would be able to rise to the top. It was a pity that she couldn't hear any inside information for a long time. Although she could comfort her mother, she was anxious and nervous in her heart.
When the New Year is over, she will also be fifteen.
If you miss this time, the next draft will have to wait until three years later. By then, she was already seventeen or eighteen years old, and was no longer in the draft age range of thirteen to sixteen.
Besides, since Rong Geer took the Lengxiang Pills, his body feels clear and cool, and he neither feels hot nor cold. Just call it magical.
When I arrived at Wanhua Tower, I saw a crowd of orioles and swallows, but surprisingly they didn't have any distracting thoughts. I saw Xue Pan looking for a boy who came first and asked about the room.
The boy said: "This is the most wonderful place. In the past, the princes and brothers occupied this place, but today it was snatched by Uncle Xue. The uncle can drink tea and wine with his friends here while admiring the view downstairs opposite. Singing and dancing. It can be regarded as the best location in this Wanhua Building. After Miss Xianmei finishes dancing and singing, she will personally go to this room to have a drink with a few uncles. The price of one thousand five hundred taels can be said to be It’s extremely fair.”
One room costs one thousand five hundred taels? Seeing Xue Pan's nonchalant look, Jia Rong was simply stunned and couldn't believe it for a long time.
"What a big day is today? Just an ordinary wing was sold for more than a thousand taels of silver!" Although Baoyu didn't understand how much money it was, he was slightly shocked when he heard the figure of more than a thousand taels. . As the most favored brother in Rongguo Mansion, he only earns two or two months a month.
Seeing that Baoyu and Jia Rong were both confused, Xue Pan proudly said: "You don't understand, this is called scented tea. In the past, in Wanhua Tower, I could only listen to Miss Xianmei playing and singing through the gauze curtain. After this After ordering scented tea for the first time, Miss Xianmei will be able to come out to "make flower heads" like other Qinghuan people. Not only can she play and sing in front of the guests, but she can also drink and play cards with the guests. If you are interested, as long as you can discuss it with the old bustard. For the amount of money, you can even choose an auspicious room and light a pair of big bright red candles, 'comb' and 'Xianmei'."
The combing ceremony is a melon-breaking ceremony of the Qing Guan people, which is somewhat similar to a wedding.
Xue Pan smiled and asked, "Brother Rong, are you interested?"
