A quarter of the hour [5:15 pm].

Xiren picked up the curtain and entered the inner room. He saw Qiu Wen Sheyue, one holding a coat, and the other holding a gold belt bag and other items. They both looked anxious and helpless, watching Jia Baoyu pacing back and forth in the room.

"My little ancestor!"

Xiren couldn't help but stamped his feet and said: "What time has it been and you are still wandering around here? Hurry, put on your clothes quickly, don't let me wait at home for too long!"

With that said, he took the coat from Qiu Wen's arms and wanted to put it on Jia Baoyu.

After her urging, Jia Baoyu finally stopped, holding the fan tightly in both hands, and swore through gritted teeth: "Just stop it, I'll die if I die! Even if I risk my life today, I still want to ask for mercy from the master."

Bring Qingwen back!"

Although he has visited less in the past few months, he has not forgotten that Qingwen, his pet peeve, has been entangled in Mrs. Wang's presence more than once.

Mrs. Wang was so annoyed by her son that she simply blamed it on her husband, claiming that if the order was changed overnight, she would be afraid that the master would blame her for lax management of the family when he came back. Therefore, the mistake had to be approved by Jia Zheng, and Qingwen could not be allowed to come back just like that.

For this reason, Jia Baoyu had accumulated a lot of excuses these days, and even sought out Daiyu and Baochai to help with the details. He was just waiting for his father to come back and explain the matter clearly.

But now that things have come to a head, Baoyu can't help but give up.

After working hard all afternoon, I finally managed to gather enough courage. I hurriedly urged the maids to put on their clothes, and then hurried to my parents' home.

at the same time.

Mrs. Wang had set up a rattan and bamboo chair under the grape trellis, and was sitting across the table from Aunt Xue, holding a cup of tea.

The two sisters chatted for a while, and Aunt Xue suddenly stepped back, leaning forward slightly with her plump body admiring herself, and asked quietly: "Why does my sister seem to have something on her mind on this wonderful day?"

Mrs. Wang glanced at Aunt Xue's heart and saw that the silver-gray-bottomed dark gold-edged collar was tight on the inside and loose on the outside. It obviously covered most of it, but it also gave people a sense of being undefended, so she said angrily: "Of course I am.

I'm worried about you! You're a widow at such an age, so you want to pursue whatever fashionable thing - it's a good thing Baochai isn't like you!"

Feeling her sister's gaze, Aunt Xue sat upright, showed off her well-trimmed fairy skirt, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "My outfit is plain and dark, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. I really want to talk about it."

, Aunt Zhao deserves to be called a show of beauty."

After saying that, seeing the color change on Mrs. Wang's face, she suddenly said in hindsight: "Is it possible that sister is afraid of being overshadowed by her..."

"Bah~"

Mrs. Wang spat to stop Aunt Xue's words, and glared: "What else can I ask for at my age? At most, I am just worried about my master's body and bones."

Perhaps she herself felt that this was too false, so she quickly changed the subject and said: "Aunt Zhao also intends to send Brother Huan to school - there is a nephew in front of him and a brother in the back, how can Baoyu escape?"

But he is the most unmotivated and refuses to go to school obediently. If this makes the master angry, what should I do?!"

"this……"

Aunt Xue hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said: "Today is different from the past. Baoyu has been practicing in the Ministry of Industry with Brother Shun for half a year. It is rare for a man to even praise him, so how can I criticize him harshly?"

"Oh~ I hope so."

Mrs. Wang sighed, but her face could not help but shine with light, showing that she was proud of herself.

In the past, she doted on Baoyu, and Jia Zheng always said that she was a loving mother with many failures. But now that she has been certified by the emperor himself, her husband should have nothing to say, right?

Just at this moment, Jia Baoyu came in from the outside and rushed into the main room.

"Baoyu!"

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Wang quickly stopped him and scolded him: "What are you kiddo running around like? Didn't you see your aunt here?"

Only then did Jia Baoyu realize that her mother and aunt were in the courtyard, and she immediately turned around and bowed her hands in greeting.

"Good boy."

Aunt Xue pointed to the hall with a smile: "What etiquette are we talking about? Go quickly, your master has been waiting in the house!"

Baoyu agreed and rushed in again with a kick.

"return!"

But when they met just now, Mrs. Wang saw something was wrong. She stopped him again and asked: "When I called you in the past, you wished you could look back in three steps. Why do you do it now..."

Halfway through, she saw Jia Baoyu lowering his head unconsciously, and she suddenly understood. She immediately said: "Master has just come back, please don't be confused! If it doesn't work, I will find a good one myself tomorrow."

The color is what Qingwen lacks."

"No, no! I only want her!"

Baoyu immediately became anxious and shouted regardless: "I made a bet with her on the curse of the same heart a long time ago. In this life, we will live in the same place and die in the same place. There will never be separation..."

"Who is making the noise outside?"

Just as he was getting excited, a shout from Jia Zheng suddenly came from the hall.

Baoyu immediately felt like a plague chicken whose neck had been broken, and he froze in place with his teeth and claws spread out.

Another person reported: "It seems that Second Master Bao has arrived."

"Let him in."

After hearing the instructions, Mrs. Wang quickly stood up and took Baoyu to persuade her: "My son, if the master heard those few words just now, wouldn't he skin you? I'm afraid that Qingwen will also ask for it.

Not good!"

I wanted to repeat what I just said to Aunt Xue, but a maid had already come out to urge me.

Mrs. Wang did not dare to delay for too long, so she had to remind Baoyu repeatedly not to make a mistake.

Frightened by this coaxing, Baoyu lost the determination he had when he came. Just like what Mrs. Wang had described before, he turned back in three steps and entered the main room hesitantly.

Mrs. Wang waited nervously in the courtyard for a quarter of an hour. She couldn't hold it any longer and wanted to leave Aunt Xue and go into the house to inquire, when she saw Baoyu coming out again dejectedly.

She hurried up to greet him and was about to ask a question when Baoyu said calmly: "Master said it was time for Brother Jiao to arrive and asked me to greet him at the gate of the courtyard."

With that said, he walked out again with his head hanging down.

When Mrs. Wang saw this, she knew that he must not have dared to mention Qingwen's matter. She couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then returned to the grape arbor to chat and laugh with Aunt Xue.

And because Baoyu went to greet Jiao Shun, the topic they discussed this time naturally turned to Jiao Shun.

Mrs. Wang remembered Wang Xifeng's words and knew that Aunt Xue was on good terms with Mrs. Xu, so she smiled and said: "Speaking of which, Brother Shun is not young anymore. In a few days, when Mr. and Mrs. Wang get out of their citizenship, we should discuss it."

The marriage is about to happen."

"He comes from the Wang family, and now he has followed Feng Yatou to the Jia family. It has been a fate for several lifetimes. As elders, we should always help - you can ask those who come to the Wang family when you have time to see how she is doing.

But if there are any regulations, I can help them read them in detail if I have free time."
