Chapter 145: Sister Bao who avoids sight
The main hall of Xue Mansion's inner house,
Aunt Xue was chatting with her daughter in the room when a housekeeper came in and reported to her: "Madam, the uncle sent a boy back to deliver a message, saying that Mr. Lian and the young nephew of the Lin family will be here soon. Please make preparations in advance.
."
After Aunt Xue sent her mother-in-law away, she smiled at Baochai and said: "Inviting people here so quickly, your brother finally did something reliable this time."
Baochai: "My mother wants to see a foreigner, so my daughter must leave first."
Aunt Xue: "We are all relatives, why don't you stay and meet us."
Baochai said shyly: "Mother's words are wrong. If it's just Brother Lian who comes here, it's no big deal for my daughter to come out to meet him. But now there is a foreigner coming, so my daughter should avoid suspicion."
Aunt Xue: "Let's do this, you stay inside while mother goes out to meet guests."
Baochai still wanted to refuse, but she heard a woman outside shouting: "The uncle is here."
…
Here, Lin Yun and Jia Lian, led by Xue Pan, walked into the main hall of the Xue family's back house.
Although there are many maids and mothers-in-law inside and outside the Xue Mansion. But in Lin Yun's opinion, these servants are far inferior to the servants of the Rongguo Mansion.
Not to mention compared with Rongguo Mansion, even the maids and women in Lin Mansion are much better than these servants.
Xue Pan accompanied Lin Yun, and Jia Lian sat down in the living room, and ordered the maid to serve tea and cakes to entertain the two of them. He also sent the maid to pass the news, asking Aunt Xue to come out to meet them.
Not long after, a sound of footsteps was heard from inside, and soon, a plump and graceful middle-aged beautiful woman walked out from behind the large screen, surrounded by several maids and women.
When Jia Lian saw her, he quickly stood up, stepped forward and saluted, saying: "Lian'er, please give my regards to my aunt."
Lin Yun also stood up and bowed to the woman, "Lin Yun wishes my aunt."
That woman was Aunt Xue. She raised her hand to support her and said, "You two nephews, you don't need to be polite. Please sit down and talk."
Jia Lian: "Auntie, please sit down."
When Aunt Xue sat down, Lin Yun, Jia Lian and Xue Pan sat down respectively.
After Lin Yun sat down, he casually glanced at Aunt Xue and saw that although she was very similar to Mrs. Wang, her body shape and behavior were completely different from Mrs. Wang.
Not only is she younger and more beautiful than Mrs. Wang, she is also more approachable and has an approachable smile.
After Aunt Xue sat down, she smiled at Jia Lian and said, "Brother Lian, when did you arrive in Jinling? Old ladies at home, how are you doing? And Girl Feng, are everything okay?"
Jia Lian replied: "Thank you for your concern, aunt. Our old lady is in good health. Girl Feng is also fine. Before coming here, she also told me to say hello to my aunt on her behalf."
Aunt Xue exchanged polite words with Jia Lian, then turned to Lin Yun and asked, "I heard from my Pan'er that Brother Yun came to Jinling to take part in the provincial examination?"
Lin Yun smiled and said: "My nephew was originally sent here to study by his uncle, but yesterday he was dragged out by a friend to play. Later I heard that my friend and Brother Xue Pan had a misunderstanding, and my nephew came here to apologize to my aunt.
"
Xue Pan said hurriedly: "It's my fault too. I shouldn't have let people take action without asking clearly."
Aunt Xue also smiled and said: "I am the most troublesome evildoer. If Brother Yun can control him for me, it will be in line with my wishes."
Lin Yun naturally knew that Aunt Xue had a problem with her son being injured, but this matter had nothing to do with him, so he could only pretend not to understand, "Auntie, please don't say that, my nephew won't dare to take it seriously."
Jia Lian explained at the side: "My aunt didn't know something. At that time, Brother Yun and I were talking in the cabin after a long separation. When we came out, they had already started a dispute."
Xue Pan said dissatisfiedly: "Mother, I have already said that this matter has nothing to do with Brother Lin, why are you still thinking about it?"
Aunt Xue saw that Jia Lian was very protective of Lin Yun, so she gave up her contempt. Instead, she smiled and said, "I'm not blaming you, Brother Lin, I just told him to take more care of you in the future."
Lin Yun smiled and said: "Auntie is joking. I am not familiar with the place here. Brother Xue should be the one taking care of me."
Hearing this, Xue Pan immediately patted his chest and said, "Brother Lin, don't worry. If you have any trouble in the future, just come to me and I will help you sort it out."
"Thank you, Brother Xue."
Xue Pan: "We are all from our own family, Brother Lin, there is no need to be polite."
Aunt Xue felt a toothache when she heard this. She finally understood why Jia Lian was so polite to Lin Yun. This little guy was really impeccable in his work. Xue Pan acted like a fool in front of him.
Suppressing the disappointment in her heart, Aunt Xue asked Jia Lian: "Brother Lian, do you have something to do when you come to Jinling this time?"
Jia Lian hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything about the emperor's decision to choose a concubine, "Reply to my aunt, Brother Yun plans to open a perfume shop in Jinling together with Feng Yatou. I came here to ask if he needs help. "
Aunt Xue became interested when she heard this, and asked Lin Yun: "Brother Yun, I heard that the tablets in your perfume shop were written by the emperor. Is this true?"
Lin Yun: "It's true, that Pai Bian is still the one in charge of supervising the production, Brother Lian."
Xue Pan said proudly: "Mother, now you should believe that I am telling the truth."
Aunt Xue didn't pay attention to her silly son, but continued to ask: "Brother Yun, is your perfume business easy to do?"
Lin Yun smiled and said: "Auntie should ask Brother Lian about this. He is in charge of the perfume shop in the capital."
Jia Lian: "It's very good. Perfume shops in Beijing can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver a year."
Aunt Xue asked in surprise: "How much do you think I can earn?"
"Ten thousand taels of silver."
Jia Lian said this, but said in his heart: "This is still a month's income. However, in order to make a fortune in silence, I can only talk to Shaoli."
Aunt Xue was very moved when she heard this. This Brother Yun seemed to be a good businessman. If he could bring Xue Pan to do business together, that would be a good choice.
She was just about to get closer to Lin Yun when she heard Xue Pan say from the side: "Brother Lian, Brother Lin, and my mother have also met. Let's go have a banquet outside."
Aunt Xue felt heartbroken after hearing this, wondering why her stupid son didn't understand.
Lin Yun still felt a little regretful that he could not see Sister Bao. However, he and the Xue family were a bit far apart after all, and it was already an exception to see Aunt Xue. If he wanted to see Sister Bao, he would have to wait until the Xue family came to Beijing.
He immediately stood up and said goodbye to Aunt Xue together with Jia Lian.
Aunt Xue had no choice but to persuade Xue Pan to stay, so she had to tell Xue Pan to entertain the two of them and let them go.
…
After the three of them left, Aunt Xue sent the maid and mother-in-law out, then walked into the inner room and asked Baochai, who was sitting on the kang, "Daughter, what do you think of Brother Yun?"
Baochai: "I can't tell, but it sounds like he is a very capable person."
Aunt Xue: "Yes, I looked down on him before, but when I think about it again, he is actually much more powerful than your second brother Lian."
Baochai: "My daughter is a bit confused. He is so capable and has Uncle Lin's help, but why does he always want to do business?"
Aunt Xue said dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong with business? Our Xue family is also engaged in business."
Baochai said hurriedly: "My daughter made a mistake."
