On the street in front of the main entrance of Rongguo Mansion, the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
"Why can't we go through the main entrance? Do you look down on the Xue family?"
Before Aunt Xue could open her mouth, Xue Pan shouted angrily: "If this is really the case, we won't enter the Rongguo Mansion. We can't afford it!"
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and made a posture ready to fight. Obviously, if Lian Er didn't give a reasonable explanation, Dai Bawang would definitely not do it.
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai also looked very ugly. Being stopped by Lian Er at the door and saying such things was simply a huge humiliation.
Mrs. Wang inside the door also saw the situation and hurriedly sent her confidant maid over to ask what was going on. The atmosphere at the front door was very solemn for a while.
"The main entrance of Rongguo Mansion will only be opened when angels come and nobles and important ministers visit!"
Lian Er looked calm and spoke slowly: "Even Prince Teng, Prince Teng's uncle, has never walked through the main entrance of Rong Mansion!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three Xue family members all changed. Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai looked thoughtful. It was obvious that Lian Er's words had touched their hearts.
It is true that Xue Pan is a dull overlord, but he is not really a fool either.
The biggest supporter of the Xue family now is Wang Ziteng. At the moment, it seems that even Wang Ziteng has not walked past the main entrance of Rong Mansion. Looking at the open door in front of him, his legs feel weak.
"If Auntie walks through the main entrance today, the dignitaries in Beijing will not only laugh at the Rong Mansion for its lack of rules, but they will also unanimously reject the Xue family!"
Lian Er continued to speak, but what he said made Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai's faces change wildly, and their eyes were full of disbelief.
Is this really the case?
Then why did Mrs. Wang put on such a grand display? Don’t you know the key to it?
"Thank you, Brother Lian, for the tip. Baochai and the Xue family are very grateful!"
Xue Baochai reacted quickly and bowed to Lian Er. He turned around and looked at Aunt Xue. They both saw uneasiness and dissatisfaction in the other's eyes, but they no longer dared to walk through the main entrance.
This is obviously a big trap, they wouldn't be so stupid!
"Auntie, this..."
The Zhou Rui family on the side felt very embarrassed and didn't know what to do for a while.
"Mother Zhou, you'd better tell your aunt quickly. We can take the side door or even the corner door!"
Xue Baochai spoke hurriedly and directly made the decision for her mother. She was really scared.
Aunt Xue was silent, her previous joy was gone, her heart was full of depression and doubts, and she didn't know what her sister, Mrs. Wang, was thinking.
She was the one who wrote a letter inviting her to come to the capital to stay temporarily in Rongguo Mansion, and now it's her who is playing such a trick. What is she trying to do?
Zhou Rui's family had no choice but to rush in and report the situation to Mrs. Wang. They were full of curses in their hearts and disapproved of Mrs. Wang for making such a huge mistake.
After hearing the report from Zhou Rui's family, Mrs. Wang looked very ugly. She hurriedly sent someone to close the front door and opened it, asking Aunt Xue and her party to enter the house through the side door. At the same time, she sent someone to ask Lian Er to come over.
"I still have to serve the master, and I'll see my second aunt later!"
Lian Er, however, did not show respect to the messenger maid. He pointed in the direction of the east courtyard and turned around to leave.
Are you kidding me? Why should the second wife just go if she wants him to? It’s not like the second wife was in charge of the house and she still wanted to act like an elder in front of him?
When Mrs. Wang saw Lian Er turning around and walking away, she was so angry that she secretly wrote down the account, planning to wait until she had the opportunity to calculate it later.
Now, all she has to do is appease Aunt Xue and her party's dissatisfaction.
On the other side, Lian Er trotted to the black oil gate of the east courtyard. The old man's car happened to enter. He smiled and walked up to the old man who had just got off the car and said, "Master, you didn't see Xue just now.
How ugly my aunt’s face is!”
"This has nothing to do with you!"
The elder said angrily: "I don't know what the second daughter-in-law is thinking. She even plots against her own sister, and I don't know what good it will do to her!"
"I'm afraid I want to make money from the Xue family!"
Lian Er curled his lips and said disdainfully, "My son has finally understood the second wife's ability to make money these years. The second wife has simply lost her sights on money!"
The first and second houses are not separated, and Lian Er is now working as an errand in Shuntian Mansion, so it is obvious to him.
In the eyes of the Shuntian Mansion Yamen, Mrs. Wang's methods were as conspicuous as fireflies in the dark night, and Lian Er naturally knew them all.
"Sometimes my son doesn't understand. The second wife seems to have no shortage of money, but why she always reaches out to get some unclean money. I really think that Uncle Wang can protect her forever!"
Speaking of this, Lian Er looked very bad. He had been secretly handling Mrs. Wang's problems, so one can imagine the frustration in his heart.
He is not a grand master, so he can ignore the reputation of the mansion. Once Mrs. Wang's incident breaks out, it will have a serious impact on the reputation of the mansion. He doesn't want to see such a situation.
"Haha, I didn't expect that the second daughter-in-law still hasn't corrected her problem!"
The elder didn't take it seriously and said with a leisurely smile: "Why do you care so much? As long as you don't use your posts and the name of the government to make money outside, just let her do whatever she wants!"
"master!"
Lian Er said with some dissatisfaction, "If this happens, how will outsiders view our Rongguo Mansion?"
"No matter what they think!"
The eldest man said indifferently, "You are obsessed with maintaining the reputation of Rongfu, but the second daughter-in-law has never regarded herself as a member of the Jia family. What should we do?"
"this……"
Lian Er was dumbfounded, he really didn't expect it to be so far away.
After carefully thinking about the second wife's behavior, the elder was really right. She did not regard herself as a member of the Rongguo Mansion, otherwise she would not be so unscrupulous in making money.
An Ran, does the second wife not take the reputation of Rong Mansion seriously, or does she think that Wang Ziteng helps with everything?
But there are some things that even Wang Ziteng can't do anything about.
"Don't pay too much attention to these annoying things!"
After waving his hand, the elder said calmly, "As long as you and your wife are not involved, why do you care so much? Sooner or later, the second daughter-in-law will be in trouble!"
"I'm afraid that when the time comes, our eldest brother will be forced to help out again!"
Lian Er followed him into the main hall of the east courtyard, sat on a chair and said with a bitter smile: "The old lady has pampered Baoyu to the heavens now, and she will not allow Baoyu's mother's reputation to have any flaws!"
"Then it's out of her hands!"
The elder smiled lightly and said: "I never thought about the good things in the old lady's warehouse, so she hopes she can use them to control me!"
Lian Er smiled bitterly, the elder was really domineering, but he didn't have the courage.
…
Mrs. Wang, along with her second wife and one female family member, warmly welcomed Aunt Xue and her party. She only briefly explained what had happened before, and then took the Xue family mother and daughter directly to Rongqing Hall on the untenable excuse of being carried away with happiness.
Meet Jia Mu.
"Meet the old lady!"
Although she felt very unhappy, she was currently in a situation where she was dependent on someone else. Aunt Xue didn't have much to say. When she arrived at Rongqing Hall, she immediately greeted Jia Mu warmly.
"Okay, okay, Mrs. Xue finally went to Beijing, but she has to stay in the house for a few more days!"
Mother Jia smiled kindly and spoke in a gentle and friendly tone: "Old lady likes fresh and juicy little girls the most. Miss Xue is so beautiful!"
"Yes, yes, cousin Xue is so beautiful!"
Jia Baoyu, who was sitting next to her, had a pair of big, watery eyes that had not moved away since Xue Baochai came in. At this time, he followed Jia Mu's words and said.
If he hadn't been young and his eyes were so clear and innocent, he might have been regarded as a slut.
But even so, Xue Baochai looked quite unhappy. At this time, her nerves were a little sensitive, and her impression of Jia Baoyu suddenly fell to the bottom.
No matter in the original work or now, Xue Baochai, who has just arrived in Beijing, does not regard Jia Baoyu as his number one target, he is just an ordinary cousin.
Aunt Xue's face was a little stiff and she didn't know what to say.
Is this the Jia Baoyu whom her sister, Mrs. Wang, praised in her letter?
If someone in another place dared to tease her daughter Baochai like this, she would have to teach him a lesson, but now she can only keep her depression in her heart.
"Since you like it, then play more with your cousin!"
Jia's mother didn't take it seriously. She didn't take Jia Baoyu's words as teasing at all. Instead, she added fuel to the flames and said with a smile: "Originally, I kept saying that no one would play with Baoyu, but now Miss Xue is here just in time!"
With these words, Xue Baochai almost couldn't hold back the power.
What do you think she is, a maid who plays with Jia Baoyu?
Come on, the depressed mother and daughter didn't have a good impression of Rongguo Mansion, so they simply refused to let Xue Pan in to kowtow to him because of his age.
After coming out of Rongqing Hall, the smiles on the mother and daughter's faces could hardly be maintained.
Fortunately, Mrs. Wang had made careful arrangements and had already cleaned up the Lixiang Courtyard in the hands of the second bedroom. Aunt Xue's family and several confidant maids could move in immediately, and all daily necessities were fully prepared.
"Mother, this is definitely not a place to live for a long time!"
When they arrived at Lixiangyuan, they took a quick look at the surrounding environment. When they arrived at the main hall, they asked the maid to guard the door. Xue Baochai poured tea for her mother and spoke.
"It's hard on my son. I really didn't expect that Rong Mansion would be in such a situation!"
Aunt Xue was also helpless and said with a wry smile, "We will live in the west for half a month and a month. When the time comes, we will move out of Rongfu. It just so happens that the Xue family's house in Beijing needs time to be cleaned up. Let's feel aggrieved first!"
"That's all it can do!"
Xue Baochai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I originally thought that Baoyu who was born with jade would be like this, but I didn't expect it to be so disappointing. Mother, we'd better make good friends with Dafang!"
"Oh, my son, if you have any ideas, please tell me!"
Aunt Xue's eyes lit up and she asked directly, "The attitude in the main room is very cold!"
"Because of this, Dafang will not have any prejudice against us, nor will he have any ideas!"
Xue Baochai smiled bitterly and said: "Mother, do you think that my aunt really did what happened at the front door unintentionally?"
"this……"
Aunt Xue looked ugly, shook her head and said with a bitter smile, "It's not clear yet, let's take a look and tell!"
