Chapter 72 Thanks from the Wen family
Chapter 72: The Wen family’s thanks
The hottest topic in Kyoto these days is the medical skills of the young lady of Yongning Hou Mansion to bring back the dead.
Because of this incident, the Xue family’s aunt also returned to her parents’ home with her daughter Xi Baochen.
When the old lady heard her ask, she was very angry: "It must be fake."
The fourth lady Xue Qin immediately retorted: "It's not fake, it's true!"
She is the legitimate daughter of the third lady, and she is very arrogant and dares to stop the old lady's words.
At that time, the children of the Yongning Marquis' Mansion were there.
The eldest sister looked like crazy, and everyone felt embarrassed, but she couldn't pull her away.
If she failed to save Wen Zhao, her behavior would be disliked and made fun of; but if she succeeded, she would immediately become a miracle doctor.
Everyone mentioned her with admiration and shock.
The fourth lady is young and has not yet been very clear about right and wrong, but she is honored.
"Qin'er, don't talk nonsense." The third lady scolded her.
The fourth lady ran away angry.
The third lady Xue Xi chased after her.
The aunt's daughter Xi Baochen went into Yutangyuan and said hello, and then went to Huiningyuan.
"Big cousin." She ran in happily, "I brought you good things."
Xue Mei was teasing the cat, and when she saw Xi Baochen coming in, a warm feeling surged in her heart for no reason.
Many of her inexplicable feelings were left to her by the original owner, and her brain automatically sent it out.
For example, this cousin Xi Baochen should have a good relationship with her.
Like Xue Mei, Xi Baochen is tall, with a pointed jaw, and is graceful.
She took out a handkerchief from her arms, and something was wrapped inside. It opened it into a gold bracelet, which was made into a curly grass pattern. It weighed less than eight cents and was not particularly expensive.
"...The new style is not expensive," Xi Baochen said, "I bought two, this one for you."
Xue Mei took it and thanked her.
She asked Xi Baochen to enter the house and took two pearl-headed flowers for Picking Yuxuan to give her, which was considered a return gift.
She went to Zhaiyuxuan the day before yesterday and added some jewelry to herself.
"The Nanzhu of Picking Yuxuan is so expensive, then I can take advantage of my cousin." Xi Baochen said with a smile.
"Don't be polite." Xue Mei smiled.
Xi Baochen immediately put on his head flower and was in a good mood.
"We heard at home that you made a lot of money from your grandmother and uncle." Xi Baochen asked, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
Xi Baochen lived in the Xue family for two years when he was a child.
At that time, her father was an official in another place, and her mother was worried that she would do anything wrong when she was in office, so she took her two brothers there.
She was not in good health, and her father was in the south again, and the other side was wet.
My mother was afraid that her hard work would make her sick, but she was worried that she would live with her aunt and sent her to her grandmother's house.
Her grandmother is a ignorant person and prefers her brothers, so she doesn't love her very much.
At that time, she and Xue Mei were bullied by Xue Yutan. Both of them were soft persimmons, hugging each other and crying, and they were about the same age, forming deep friendship.
Every time he arrives at the Xue family, Xi Baochen will give Xue Mei something.
What she gave was either gold leaves or gold jewelry. She said she was giving gifts, but in fact she was just secretly giving me some help.
She is Xue Mei’s only friend.
I heard that Xue Mei was so powerful that Xi Baochen wanted to come and have a look very early.
But she was worried that her grandmother would not be happy if she lost the money, so she came over to be cold-eyed. Until her mother could no longer bear it and insisted on going back to her parents' home to ask what happened, she followed her.
"...In other words, can my cousin really stand up?" Xi Baochen opened his eyes wide, "My brother said that my cousin got an errand, and I thought they coaxed me."
"It's true." Xue Mei smiled.
Xi Baochen couldn't believe it.
She seemed to remember something, pursed her lips and lowered her voice: "Then she is going to be so angry?"
This "she" refers to Xue Yutan.
Xue Mei had a tacit understanding and smiled: "Yes."
Xi Baochen smiled and said, "It's so satisfying! I didn't see it with my own eyes, it's a big regret."
"She was so angry that she beat her wet nurse and asked the maids to kneel down in the heavy rain. The maids hated her." Xue Mei said.
This is what Hongluan told Xue Mei.
The maids are always the first to know all kinds of gossip.
In the past few months, the second lady who is tall and arrogant in the mansion seems to have been pulled down from the altar and has been embarrassed many times.
The second lady's reputation is an expired brocade robe. It can be revealed by just breaking a hole and exposing all the problems of the past.
The second lady, who is as gentle as an exiled immortal, actually beats and scolds the maids; she also deducts the maids' monthly money. I heard that the second-class maids in her yard only have one tael of silver per month.
The rules of the Yongning Marquis’ Mansion are that the monthly money of a second-class maid is two taels of silver.
"...It's so shameless!" Xi Baochen smiled, "It's so cheap to even have this little money."
She likes to hear people say that Xue Yutan has all the bad things.
This time I went to my grandfather's house and was really proud.
While the two sisters were talking, there was a news from outside.
It's the sound of firecrackers.
Hongluan went out and took a look.
Soon, Hongluan came back and said to Xue Mei: "Miss, the old lady of the Wen family is here to give gifts."
Xue Mei said oh.
Xi Baochen: "Cousin, you don't have to worry about it in the future. After this, the Wen family will definitely treat you well."
Xue Mei smiled.
The old lady of the Wen family came to give gifts and must have gone to the old lady's side. If the old lady didn't send someone to invite her, Xue Mei would not be able to go.
She still talked to Xi Baochen.
Later, the old lady invited her to Yutangyuan.
The family members of the family came, and even the second wife, who had never been involved in the fun, came.
Xue Mei remembered the second wife's support for her last time, so she nodded to the second wife: "Second Aunt."
The second lady smiled.
When Mrs. Wen saw Xue Mei, she held her hand, and her eyes suddenly became wet: "Good boy, thanks to you."
"It's just a matter of raising your hand." Xue Mei still held the cat in her arms, so she pulled her hand back.
After chatting for a few words, the old lady arranged a meal and invited the old lady of the Wen family to have a meal.
Xue Yutan was sitting at the main table, and everyone else had to change to the second table.
Xi Baochen was very dissatisfied and looked at Old Mrs. Wen, hoping that the guest would ask for a question.
Unexpectedly, Old Mrs. Wen said nothing, as if she couldn't see it.
Xi Baochen was a little discouraged.
Everyone is used to Xue Yutan's transcendent status.
After dinner, Old Mrs. Wen said goodbye, and the third wife and Xue Mei sent her to the gate of Chuhua.
When he came back, the maid presented Mrs. Wen with a gift list.
"Oh, this old lady is so kind that she actually gave gifts to every lady and lady in our family." The servant said with a smile.
The old lady: "The Wen family only has some money."
In his words, he actually disdained.
Do you look down on other people's money and marry the daughter of the Marquis's family?
The servant lady began to recite the gift list.
The Wen family’s gifts were distributed, and they were packed in each small box, posted famous posts, and then carried in in a large cage.
What exactly does everyone’s gift have? It’s written on the gift list.
The servants recited one by one: "A box of golden beans and a string of tourmaline Buddhist beads, this is for the old lady..."
Then there is the eldest lady, the second lady and the third lady.
Everyone's gifts are different.
Xue Mei’s gifts are more, all of which are jewelry from girls’ homes.
However, if you read it further, everyone's expressions were not right.
The servant looked down hard, and his heart skipped a beat.
The room was silent for a moment.
It turned out that the Wen family gave gifts to every female family member of the Xue family, but they did not give the most noble second lady.
Chapter completed!
