Chapter 449: Baochai’s Engagement

Jia Huan sat down with Xue Biao and a very beautiful young girl.

The girl has bright eyes, white teeth, icy muscles and jade bones, and her beauty is delicious.

This girl is none other than Xue Baoqin, Xue Baoqin's sister.

Xue Biao brought his sister here this time not only to let her know who her immediate boss was, but also because the work Xue Baoqin was responsible for had made progress and she wanted to report to Jia Huan.

Xue Baoqin's big bright eyes flashed, looking at the person above him with surprise and curiosity.

If her brother hadn't told her the true identity of her boss, she really wouldn't have believed that the boss was the frozen cat she saw in Rongguo Mansion.

I just think they are two people who look similar.

The man at the top has a cool and noble temperament, like someone who has been in a high position for a long time. How can a concubine in Rongguo Mansion who has not been favored and been suppressed by his aunt for a long time have such a noble temperament?

Considering that this man has now become the leader of the secret agents in his teens, I am afraid that he joined the current emperor at a young age.

I heard from my brother that my boss is a subordinate of the emperor.

Then it makes sense. Jia Huan was taken under the tutelage of the emperor when he was still young. No wonder he grew up to be what he is today.

However, this man's acting skills were so good that no one in the Rongguo Mansion even noticed how extraordinary he was.

No, there may be someone.

Sister Yingchun has a very good relationship with Jia Huan.

Sister Yingchun was granted a marriage by the emperor and married the promising number one scholar.

All of this was probably planned for her by Jia Huan, just like her brother Xue Biao planned it for her.

Thinking of this, Xue Baoqin's eyes no longer looked at Jia Huan with fear.

Such a person who can think about his sisters is not someone with evil intentions.

Jia Huan saw the emotional change in Xue Baoqin's eyes, smiled, and said, "What did Miss Xue gain?"

Xue Baoqin stood up and saluted Jia Huan.

Jia Huan: "Miss Xue, please sit down and talk."

Xue Baoqin thanked him and replied when he sat down.

Xue Baoqin went to the Gao family for a banquet last time, intending to make friends with the third lady of the Gao family.

This third young lady is a concubine of the Gao family. Her status is not as good as that of her legitimate daughter, and she is not welcomed by her legitimate mother at home.

But she herself is quite self-righteous, thinking that she is a noble daughter of a second-rank official, and others should fawn over her.

But the ladies who went to the Gao family to attend the banquet were also of high status, so how could they fawn over a noble girl like her?

Only Xue Baoqin went with a mission and intended to make friends with the third lady.

The third lady immediately regarded Xue Baoqin as her follower and bossed Xue Baoqin around.

Xue Baoqin endured the task and satisfied the third lady, and often called Xue Baoqin to Gao's house to play.

As a result, Xue Baoqin got to know many women in the Gao family's backyard, and got in touch with spies who had infiltrated the Gao family.

This spy was a rough maid of the Gao family and could find out not much information, but he gave Xue Baoqin a useful piece of information: Mr. Gao had a concubine who was very trusted by Mr. Gao and could freely enter and leave Mr. Gao's study.

Xue Baoqin then deliberately approached the concubine.

This good concubine came from the Zhen family in Jiangnan. Although she was a side branch, she had the support of the Zhen family behind her, so even Mrs. Gao did not dare to embarrass her.

This Mrs. Zhen had nothing to do and didn't like managing the internal affairs of the backyard, so Mrs. Gao wouldn't be too afraid.

Xue Baoqin said: "After I contacted Mrs. Zhen, I found that Mrs. Zhen had great resentment towards both the Zhen family and the Gao family. Although Mrs. Zhen was Master Gao's concubine, they never had different rooms. It seemed that Mrs. Zhen was just a concubine.

A link between the Zhen family and the Gao family."

Xue Baoqin: "Sir, I want to investigate the past of this Zhen family. I can't say that she is the breakthrough point for us to attack the Gao family."

Jia Huan nodded: "I'll leave this matter to you brothers and sisters."

He smiled and said to Xue Baoqin: "This time I will remember you for your merits. Work hard. Your Majesty will not treat you badly."

The two brothers and sisters hurriedly stood up and saluted Jia Huan to thank him.

Jia Huan raised his right hand and pressed it down, and the two sat back on their chairs.

After the business was finished, Jia Huan became interested in gossip and asked about Xue Baochai's marriage.

"I saw you were choosing a marriage partner for your cousin before. Is there anyone available now?"

Xue Biao nodded: "There is already a candidate."

Then he told Jia Huan the choice.

That man was a classmate of Xue Baoqin's fiancé, and he was no less learned than Xue Baoqin's fiancé.

It's just that during the last scientific examination, this person's elder passed away. This person had to observe filial piety and did not participate in the scientific examination. Now he is just a scholar.

But with his talent, he will definitely be on the gold list in the next scientific examination.

He was recommended by his future brother-in-law, and Xue Biao personally investigated this person and found that his character and knowledge were good, so he recommended him to Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue only felt that the man was just a civil servant and not worthy of her daughter. She also wanted to let Xue Baochai marry into the Rongguo Mansion.

But Xue Baochai already regarded Rongguo Mansion as a savage beast, so how could he still be willing to marry into it?

She was very satisfied with the candidates Xue Biao helped her choose, so what if it was just a job now?

Didn’t my cousin-in-law say that?

With that person's talent and learning, he will definitely be able to become a Jinshi.

Later, she can also become an official's wife.

As long as your husband works hard, fifth rank is not a problem, and he will be on the same rank as his aunt by then.

Isn't this much better than marrying Jia Baoyu, who has no inheritance rights and doesn't like to study and become an official?

Xue Baochai insisted, and Aunt Xue had no choice but to agree to the marriage.

Xue Baochai was afraid of Mrs. Wang's obstruction, so she moved out of Hengwuyuan and returned to Xue's house in the capital, waiting to celebrate the six rites with the man.

Halfway through the Six Ceremonies, people in Rongguo Mansion knew that Xue Baochai had married someone else.

Mrs. Wang was very angry and came to Aunt Xue to question her.

Aunt Xue complained: "Sister, Baochai is not young anymore, and you are not sure. The old lady still insists on letting the girl from the Shi family treat Baoyu's wife. Isn't there nothing I can do? I can't keep Baochai waiting.

Now, have you become an old girl? When the time comes, you choose to marry a girl from the Shi family. Can Baochai find a good family again?"

Mrs. Wang said bitterly: "I told you that I would let the imperial concubine grant me the marriage."

Aunt Xue sighed: "Sister, please don't play tricks on me. Pan'er has found out clearly that among the empresses in the harem, only the Queen Mother and the Empress can issue decrees, and the other imperial concubines cannot issue decrees and grant marriages."



How could Mrs. Wang, a woman with no virtue or talent, know this? She said in surprise: "How is it possible? Doesn't the empress often come to the mansion with decrees? Our family went to Qingxu Temple to do dipping, and we also followed the empress's decree.

"

Aunt Xue: "That's an oral edict, not an imperial edict."

Mrs. Wang still didn't understand the difference between oral instructions and imperial decrees, and Aunt Xue actually didn't understand either. The two talked for a long time, but they forgot about Xue Baochai's marriage to someone else.

In the end, Mrs. Wang left the Xue family in a daze, and did not react until she returned to Rongrongxi Hall.
