When he returned, Baoyu was searching for rouge. When he saw Xia Jingui coming back, he nodded and said, "Sister is back? Why did it take so long?"

Xia Jingui frowned when he saw Baoyu applying rouge, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

It is said outside that this Baoyu was born with a jade in his mouth, and he is the younger brother of the imperial concubine. He is a man of great fortune.

But after getting married for a month or two, he only read some leisure books, made rouge and gouache, and tended flowers and plants. He didn't look like a rich man at all, and he turned out to be an ignorant boy.

Can a person like this still achieve great things?

God is so blind!

However, Xia Jingui married Baoyu not for Baoyu's good fortune in Hubei, but for her own future.

So he suppressed the sneer in his heart, his face was gentle, and while calling someone to change clothes, he said: "I am talking about a maid named Qingwen who was before the second master. A woman came in to say hello, saying that Qingwen was getting married in the countryside.

Now that I have a son and a daughter, my life is very stable."

Baoyu smiled and said: "I know this. When she got married, I asked my second sister-in-law to send her gifts. Now she just wants to live a good life."

He paused, suddenly turned around and looked at Xia Jingui, and said very solemnly: "Qingwen is a good girl. She left Rongguo Mansion innocently."

After hearing this, Xia Jingui couldn't help but glance at Baoyu. Seeing that he was still concentrating on making rouge after saying this, he sighed in his heart: As a person, Baoyu is a hundred times stronger than the ordinary dude, but in terms of

In terms of ability, he really didn't know how to make progress. So he walked over and said, "Why is the second master doing rouge again? Didn't he do a lot before? Why are he still doing it today?"

Baoyu immediately replied: "I have already done what I did before..."

In fact, all the rouge gouache he made before was entrusted to Sister Feng to sell.

Because he knew that all the treasures in his yard had fallen into the maid's home, and he was reluctant to deal with them, he had no choice but to think of some ways to make money.

But after all, he is not a fool. He can see the situation at home, and he also knows that his wife is not a fuel-saving lamp.

If she were to know that she had private money, I'm afraid she would rather make a noise and make it known to everyone than let her keep it.

So he changed his words and said: "Ziying and the others gave away what I made before. So I have to make it again today. I also made some pens with various floral fragrances."

Ink, look, this is rose ink, this is osmanthus ink, this is orchid ink, and peach blossom ink, etc., paired with the corresponding sign paper, these things are very popular. By the way, sister, what kind of scented ink do you like?

, I made it for you."

Before Xia Jingui could say anything, Xi Ren said from the side: "Second Grandma, you can take care of the Second Master. You can do these things as long as you want. I haven't read a few pages of the serious book. What will happen to the Master when he comes back to take the exam?"

.”

Baoyu suddenly lost interest and said coldly: "I'm talking to your second grandma, why are you interrupting? Are you becoming more and more unruly?"

Xiren felt aggrieved because she was not doing it for the sake of her second master.

Xia Jingui thought for a while and said: "Second Master, what Xiren said is correct. You can just do these things in your free time. How can you do them all day long? If Second Master is tired from doing this, my wife knows

Aren’t you heartbroken to death?”

Baoyu waved his hands and said: "If these things are well made, they can have many benefits. Besides, I am a man, so I have to find a way to help you live a stable life in the future."

Xia Jingui was shocked and couldn't help but look at Baoyu.

She had been with Baoyu for a month or two, but she didn't expect Baoyu to say such a thing.

Although she was coveting the title and family background of Rongguo Mansion, she still wanted to capture her husband's heart. At this time, she had a vague idea in her mind, but she was not sure, so she couldn't say anything, so she said: "Second Master, I have

That's fine. Just don't be too tired. It's the same thing if you take a break before doing it again." Then he wiped Baoyu's face with a handkerchief: "Look, you are sweating." He shouted again: "

Baochan, bring water for the second master to wash himself."

Baoyu smiled and said, "Sister, there's no need to be busy. I'm just sweating so much. It doesn't matter."

Xia Jingui smiled softly and said, "Why don't you bother me? It's freezing after drying, so I'm going to catch a cold." Just as he was talking, Bao Chan came in with some water, and Xia Jingui personally helped Bao Yu wash up.

Baoyu smiled and said: "There is no need for my sister to do it herself. Let them do it."

Xia Jingui kept moving and said with a smile: "Nothing happened anyway. Besides, you are the father-in-law, so it is my duty to serve you."

The two were chatting and laughing constantly, without the quarrel they had a month ago at all, as if they were a couple still in the honeymoon stage.

Xiren watched with sadness: Baoyu, he only has the second mistress Jin in his eyes now. He comforted himself by saying: They are just newly married, it is normal for them to be intimate. As time goes by, Baoyu will get used to it, and they will

Think of the old relationship and treat yourself well again.

But before Xiren could adjust his emotions, Zhou Rui's family came to the door with a group of women: "My wife said that the eldest maids are getting older and it's time to go out and mate."

Xiren and the others had no choice but to be frightened. When someone from Zhou Rui's family came to pull him, Fang realized what he was doing and hurriedly broke away from his mother-in-law, who was holding him. He knelt at the feet of Baoyu Xia Jingui, who had rushed over after hearing the news.

Bian cried and said: "I don't want to go out even if I die. I beg the second master and the second grandma to please keep me here for the sake of our past friendship."

Xia Jingui looked at Baoyu in embarrassment. Baoyu sighed and asked Zhou Rui's family: "Is this what your wife meant?"

Zhou Rui's family replied respectfully: "Yes. My predecessor Li's mother came into the house to say hello and talked about some past events. When my wife heard about it, she said that the second master was also married now, and the second grandma was taking care of her.

There is no need for so many maids, so I ordered the old slave to come and send them out to be matched with others."

When Baoyu heard about it, he knew that the previous incident of attacking them had happened, so he nodded and said: "They have served me for a while, so they should go out well. I don't want those women and the like. Mom goes back

Tell your wife to let them pack their things and let their family come and take her out tomorrow."

Zhou Rui's family was a little embarrassed when they heard about it. Xia Jingui said hurriedly: "Mom, let's go back to my wife first. There is no need to be embarrassed. The second master and I will go over and talk to my wife in person later."

Only then did Zhou Rui's family bow and leave first with their wives.

Xia Jingui then asked someone to bring him clothes and face to help him and Baoyu change clothes.

Xiren and the others knelt on the ground, their hearts filled with despair. Xiren cried, "Is the second master really so cruel that he doesn't miss his old feelings at all?"

Baoyu glanced at her, walked out and passed by them and said: "If I really didn't miss the old relationship, I would have been upset when the incident with Qingwen and Fangguan came out. Even those coins, I didn't care about them anymore, right?"

"?" After saying that, he strode out following Xia Jingui.

Xiren's face turned pale and he fell to the ground, crying bitterly.

Xia Jingui was slightly startled and glanced at Baoyu, but said nothing.

She had carefully inquired about Qingwen's affairs, and now that she thought about it, she couldn't escape her relationship with Xiren.

Rongxi Hall.

Mrs. Wang was waiting for Baoyu and Xia Jingui. When she saw them arriving hand in hand, she said without waiting for them to say hello, "I'm going to get rid of those unruly ones. Why do you want to keep them here for this day because of old friendship?"

Xia Jingui said with a smile: "Mrs. Rong Zhen, if she is in our little Xia family, she will just resign. But how can Rongguo Mansion be compared with a small family? Although my daughter-in-law has just entered the house, she also knows that our family has always been charitable.

Now, these girls have also served the second master with all their heart. The second master is thinking about the old relationship and wants them to go out decently. This is in line with our family's usual style, isn't it? The wife just thinks of the second master.

Come on, let him go."

Mrs. Wang looked at Baoyu. Baoyu didn't say anything. He knelt down and kowtowed: "Madam, they followed me for a while. They have no merit but hard work. If they are sent out like this, they will inevitably be abused by others in the future. Please give me a reward."

Have some decency, let them go out properly, and complete the master-servant relationship between them and me."

When Baoyu knelt down, Xia Jingui hurriedly followed him and knelt down.

Mrs. Wang was used to mercy. Seeing her son and daughter-in-law like this, she sighed: "That's all, it's your benefit to think about love. I'm not that unkind. I think you are just Gui girl. You want to let people

Keep them under guard and don't allow them to take advantage of the situation again."

Xia Jingui hurriedly agreed.

On the way back, Baoyu took Xia Jingui's hand and said, "I feel wronged for causing trouble to my sister."

Xia Jingui sighed and said: "Second Master is serious. Since I married you, I will naturally abide by my duty and regard you as my God. After all, we husband and wife are always one. How can we not feel wronged?"

Baoyu nodded and said nothing.

When the girls saw that the situation was irreversible, they couldn't help but cry in their arms. Xiren cried, "I know I can't keep her anymore. The second master and second grandma should at least keep She Yue."

Xia Jingui didn't want to agree, but she thought that after all these maids were sent out, her reputation would inevitably be affected. No matter if She Yue was left behind, she would already be Baoyu's maid. If she becomes pregnant in the future, Mrs.

When you need to carry someone, just move her out, so that no one will block you. Besides, among these people, she is the only one left, and the others will inevitably be dissatisfied. She will be disliked by the wife again, and it will be difficult in the future.

Even if I stay in this room, there won't be any big trouble.

Moreover, when he promotes Baochan in the future, he also has a lesson learned from the past, so that Baochan does not dare to forget his duty.

Thinking about it this way, it can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

So Xia Jingui said to Baoyu: "Second Master, if you don't want to listen to the attackers, just leave one behind."

Baoyu was heartbroken and said to Xia Jingui, "You make the decision."

Xia Jingui nodded and asked She Yue to stay, while the others quickly packed their things and left quickly the next morning.

Xiren, Qiu Wen, Biyue and others packed up their luggage miserably and sent people back to deliver the message. Early the next morning, they said goodbye to Baoyu and Xia Jingui and went home.

…

The Hua family was shocked when they saw Hua Xiren returning.

Hua Zifang said anxiously: "Sister, what happened? Why are you back?"

Sister-in-law Hua looked confused and asked tentatively: "Is my sister coming back to stay for a while? Or..."

Xiren's tears rolled down his cheeks and he could hardly control himself. After a long while, he said: "Second Grandma has come in. She is virtuous and considerate. Madam rewards us, rewards us big maids... Come out, come out and arrange for yourself." Xiren almost said this.

Heartbreaking: "Brother...it turned out that we thought wrongly, we, we finally climbed too high."

When Sister-in-law Hua heard this, her expression suddenly changed, and she said disdainfully: "Oh, it turns out that she didn't compete for the wife of the wife, so she couldn't be her aunt, so she was kicked out."
