Seeing a smile finally appear on her mother's face, Xue Baochai sneered in her heart.
She always knew that her mother valued her brother very much.
Although she had a good relationship with her brother, she could not stand her mother's favoritism.
A daughter is a weed, a son is a treasure.
This is how the world has always been.
But is it right to be like this as a habit?
"Ah, my son, it's good that you think clearly. You are still young, so it's a good opportunity to cultivate your relationship with him. Your aunt has also agreed, and she will treat you well when you go there."
Baochai lowered her eyes.
She went to Beijing to wait for selection.
It's okay to stay in the Jia family for a short time, but what about living there permanently?
"yes."
She knelt and bowed, "Don't worry, Mom. The clan leader has always been fair. They won't be greedy for things that belong to our family."
But it doesn't belong to them, so it should be returned.
Aunt Xue nodded perfunctorily and ignored her daughter.
As long as her daughter agreed to go to the Jia Mansion, she didn't need to care about anything else.
Her sister has promised her that Baochai must marry Baoyu in the future. Once Baochai enters the mansion, she will send someone to help her take over the Xue family's property.
At that time, the whole family will go to the capital and never return to Jinling.
Seeing that her mother ignored her, Baochai said nothing more and left with the servants.
As soon as she entered the room, she waved to the maids to leave, then turned around and threw herself into Xin Guoguo's arms:
"Mammy, tell me, do I have a crush on her? Woo woo woo..."
After her father passed away, this once innocent and romantic girl faced her mother's favoritism for the first time, and also faced the society's unfriendly attitude towards women for the first time.
Xin Guoguo reached out and patted the little girl on the back:
"Mammy knows you're feeling miserable. Please remember that if others don't care about you, you should learn to put them in a less important position in your heart. This world is always harsh on women. If you want to survive and live a wonderful life, you must cultivate a harder heart than others."
Xue Baochai in the original novel did a really good job.
If she were not bound by the harem and etiquette, she would surely grow to a height that everyone would look up to!
Xue Baochai didn't know whether she had heard what the wet nurse said or not.
It was not until a long time later that she raised her tearful little face and said, "Mammy, help me."
His eyes were firm.
Xin Guoguo smiled: "Okay."
Gently stroke her soft hair.
In the book, Aunt Xue once said that her family was forced to go to Beijing by their relatives.
But she didn't say how much her family had taken from the Xue family by relying on their relationship with the Wang and Jia families.
This time, she did not let Xue Baochai come forward to mediate the matter.
That afternoon, he began to direct the maids in the yard to pack up their things, and then he went outside to invite people from his own escort agency.
Because of this busy schedule, Aunt Xue didn't see her daughter for several days.
On this day, the Xue family came again.
Old Master Xue, who was nearly seventy years old, had a bitter face and almost knelt down to Aunt Xue:
"Madam, please have some mercy on our family! If our family's assets are gone, how will we survive? Even if you don't think about others, please think about the Second Master!"
Aunt Xue just hugged her son and cried, muttering:
"How can a woman like me understand what the old man is saying? All the family assets we have now were handed down to me by my grandfather and will be passed down to Pan'er in the future. As for other things, how can a woman like me know about them?"
After hearing these words, Old Master Xue was so angry that he almost suffocated.
Over the years, the Xue Wang family has suffered countless losses because of the Wang family and the Jia family behind them.
Now that the master is gone, this woman can still lie with her eyes open!
All the properties related to the clan had been sold off to the Wang and Jia families at low prices over the past six months. Aren't the remaining properties hers?!
But the other party was so powerful that he dared not say a harsh word, so he could only try from other places.
"Pan'er, what do you think? You..."
"Woo woo woo! Old Master, are you trying to force us, an orphan and a widow, to death? Those properties were given to us by my grandfather, and you come and snatch them away with empty words. How can we, an orphan and a widow, survive?!"
Old Master Xue: (‵□′)
I almost couldn't catch my breath.
He stomped his crutch and stood up suddenly: "Xue Wangshi! You... I think you want to force my Xue family to death!"
He was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
But I didn't dare say a single harsh word and could only feel aggrieved.
Knowing that today would be another fruitless day, he could only leave in disgust.
I cursed Boss Xue in my heart.
After Xin Guoguo waited for Old Master Xue to leave, she quietly called Baochai, who was already prepared:
"Miss, let's go through the side door and finish this quickly. I have asked someone to hold the door open."
Xue Baochai nervously clenched her hands: "Mammy, is this really possible?"
Xin Guoguo stepped forward and held the little girl's slightly cold hands:
"This is the young lady's opportunity, and also the Xue family's opportunity. The young lady is kind and virtuous, and will surely succeed!"
The little girl's blood boiled at what the nanny said, and she clenched her fists and said, "Okay!"
After putting on the veil, the master and servant quietly set off.
Xin Guoguo carefully explored the way while holding Baochai's hand and quietly encouraging her.
Baochai was so nervous that her heart was in her throat, and she kept thinking about what she was going to say, as well as the old man's possible answers and her own response.
The place where the Xue family lived was not connected to the Xue house, but two streets away from the Xue house.
