He waved his hand to signal the maids to leave, and applied a hot handkerchief to her face, before continuing: "Then what should I do? Is it possible that I really want to send money to the Jia family, and can't I take the Yuanchun route?"
When you said you wanted to leave the Jia family, I disagreed. You insisted on leaving. Now that you have finally left the Jia family, you want to go back. If you really go back, how many people will laugh at you!"
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Xue Baochai really didn't want to get involved with the Jia family anymore, especially since the old lady of the Jia family and her aunt were very cruel, and she was afraid that if their money was given away, it would be in vain.
But to reach this point, it was no longer enough for her not to enter the palace.
In order to be able to enter the palace, their family spent so much money to go out. Not to mention caring people, they just didn't notice their family members, but now they are also targeting them.
Today, they are riding a tiger with difficulty.
The more I thought about it, the more upset I became. I pulled off the veil from my face and threw it on the table. Then, I sat there, thinking about something, and asked my mother: "Where is my brother, but he went out to drink with others again?
Is there any other way on his side? He spends so much money on inviting people to drink and play every day. Isn't there any way to go?"
It's okay not to mention this matter, but Aunt Xue sighed when she mentioned it: "The man we found before didn't work out, so he found another way to become a eunuch. Unexpectedly, as soon as he bribed that eunuch, a great purge took place in the palace.
After that, those people no longer dared to talk about it.
We are the ones who found the person. No matter how the road is broken, we can’t break this relationship. It’s also our fault that our family has lost now. Those people dare to do this. Otherwise, your brother wouldn’t have to treat people to drinks every day to apologize.
Already."
Seeing that her brother's side was not working, she asked about the Wang family's side: "Where's the Wang family's side? Has my aunt given you a reply?"
Mentioning the Wang family, Aunt Xue felt even more uncomfortable. They were both younger sisters, but she was no better than Mrs. Wang.
Why is my brother only willing to help Yuanchun, but not her Baochai?
She took out the reply letter from the Wang family from a box, handed it to Baochai for her to read, and said: "Your aunt said, your uncle means that now the mother-in-law's marriage is more important, so you should stop thinking about it. If you
If you want to find a good family, he will help you choose a good family, and forget about the rest."
After Xue Baochai read the letter, he tore it up angrily, and then threw it into the brazier: "You asked me to accept my fate, but I refused to accept it. Since they are not willing to help me, then I will find a way on my own.
I will go to Lin's house again tomorrow, just to beg, I also ask Lin Jiusi to show me the way out."
When Aunt Xue saw this, she didn't say anything, she just lowered her head and took a handkerchief to wipe away the non-existent tears.
The reason why she took out this letter was to stimulate Baochai. If it didn't work this time, she would have no choice but to listen to her brother and find a good family for Baochai.
Their family didn't have much money left, and Pan'er hadn't married yet and had children. She couldn't spend all her money on Baochai. If this was a clear path, that would be fine, but it turned out to be an unknown path.
Lu, she really doesn't want to take that risk anymore.
So on the second day, Jiusi had just finished breakfast when he received Xue Baochai's second visit.
This time she didn't say any more false things. She directly gave her a box of jewelry and said bluntly: "Sister Lin, I want to enter the palace. You are the only one who can help me now. Please give me instructions."
road."
Jiusi glanced at the box and pushed it back: "I'm not interested in your things. I just want to ask you a question?"
Xue Baochai squeezed the handkerchief tightly and asked aloud: "What's the problem?"
Jiusi waved everyone away, and then asked her: "Why do you have to enter the palace?
The palace is like a big prison. It is very difficult for people who go in to get out. Even if they die, they can only die there. Why are you so determined to rush in?
If you want a good family background and a good family background, you can definitely find a good family to marry, or even not marry at all, so why do you have to take that road of no return?"
Seeing that there were only two of them in the room, Xue Baochai relaxed a little. He looked at her intently for a while and then asked without answering: "Sister Lin, why didn't you choose not to be born in the Lin family?"
Jiusi:……
Of course there is no choice.
Xue Baochai seemed to understand what she was thinking, and smiled bitterly: "Actually, my answer is the same as yours, I have no choice.
I have a family background and wealth, but my family is in ruins.
The Xue family, a wealthy family!
What a resounding name.
In the past, this name may have brought honor to my family, but now it only brings covetousness and destruction."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but stand up, and came to Jiusi and said: "It would be fine if my brother became a master. It would be no problem to have him support me, but he is not that material.
What do you want me to do?
My mother knew clearly that my aunt was not easy to get along with, so why did she still bring us to the capital to join the Jia family? Isn’t it because she was afraid that our mother and son would be murdered for money?
Think about it, even our relatives will plot against us for the money, but what about other people?
I'm afraid they will plot against us to death!
I don’t want to enter the palace either, but what if I don’t?
If I don’t enter the palace, who can guarantee that we can live safely in my family’s situation? Surviving in the palace is difficult, but as long as I get through it, we don’t need to worry about those things anymore, do you understand?”
Seeing her like this, Jiu Si couldn't help but become silent.
yes!
Today's Xue family is like a three-year-old child holding a gold brick, but everyone wants to take a bite!
Even if all their wealth is gone in the end, those greedy people will not believe it and will think that they hid it secretly.
This kind of invisible pressure can definitely drive people crazy, so it's no wonder that she wants to climb up.
She couldn't help but sigh deeply, then stood up, helped Xue Baochai sit down, looked into her eyes and said: "I can take you into the palace to see the emperor. As for what you do, that is your own business.
I don't know what your final choice was, but I want to say that I used the Lin family's wealth to exchange for Lin Ruhai's life. Maybe you can have other choices.
How about this, I'll give you a few days, you go back and think about it carefully, and discuss it with your mother and brother. How about you come to me when you are sure that you have really thought about it?"
After hearing this, Xue Baochai shook his head: "There is no need to wait any longer, and there is no need to discuss with them anymore. I have already chosen the path, and I don't blame the future whether it is good or bad.
When my father was alive, he always told me that there is no easy road in the world, and there are no shortcuts. The only one you can rely on is yourself, and you have to rely on yourself to get through everything.
Some roads may be paved by your family in advance, but if you don't have the ability to walk on them, everything will be in vain.
I know the situation of my family best. I can get temporary stability by trading with the emperor now, but in the future, no one will protect us for the rest of our lives. I have to rely on myself."
