The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 130 Xue Pan's Small Abacus
Xue Baochai has a dignified character, elegance and understanding, but in his bones, he also has the calmness and pragmatism that the girls of the Jia family and Lin Daiyu do not possess, the kind of calmness and pragmatism that are necessary for standard ladies in feudal society.

However, no matter how elegant and sensible Xue Baochai was, no matter how calm and pragmatic, the first time he heard the agreement between Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang, he couldn't accept it.

Fortunately, Aunt Xue loves her children very much. Mrs. Wang wants Xue Baochai to be a concubine for the worthless Jia Baoyu, so Aunt Xue is naturally unwilling!

Immediately, a decision was made to go and see Xue Baochai!

And with Aunt Xue's series of vigorous actions, even with Xue Baochai's temperament when she followed her, she couldn't adapt for a while.

No, I ran to Lin Daiyu to hide here!

……

After chatting with Lin Daiyu for a while, Jia Jing got up and went to the outer study.

After all, Xue Baochai came to chat with Lin Daiyu specially today, and her family has been staying there all the time, which is not the same thing.

In the study outside.

Thinking of the relatives' hospital that she saw in the Rongguo Mansion yesterday, Jia Jing's heart moved, and she ordered someone to call for future blessings.

Asked: "This time, the provincial hospital is built next door. Who supervised the construction?"

"Returning to Lord Marquis, the people who supervised the construction of the Provincial House are Uncle Zhen from Ningguo Mansion, Second Master Lian from Rongguo Mansion, and Lai Da, the housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion."

Hearing Lai Da's name, Jia Jing frowned slightly.

After ten years of rebirth, the book of Red Mansions that I read in my previous life has been blurred a lot, but some records about the Lai family still can't help but come to my mind.

Immediately, Jia Jing asked Lai Fu to say: "Go and find out secretly. This time, the mansion ordered the construction of the Provincial Court, and if there is such a large expenditure, can someone secretly lend a hand?"

"Yes!"

Laifu took the order and went.

……

After a while, another servant reported outside, "Master Hou, Mr. Xue Pan and Mr. Xue are here!"

"Call him in!"

After a while, the bamboo curtain of the outer study room was lifted, and Xue Pan strode in, "Brother Jing, quickly call the steward of your Green Willow Villa, and send me a batch of that seasoning, there are all kinds of seasonings in the shop." It's sold out!"

Jia Jing laughed and said, "Brother Xue can go directly to Pang Shengrong for such trivial matters, and it's worth making a trip by himself!"

Xue Pan stomped his feet, "Hey, why didn't I look for it, but Pang Shengrong said that you, Brother Jing, ordered you to release a fixed number of seasonings every month, what kind of hunger marketing.

Now he would rather sit and wait for Curry's ground and blended things to mold there than sell them in the shop to make money! "

Jia Jing patted his forehead suddenly when he heard this, and said with a smile: "That was what he said last summer. I didn't expect that after leaving the barracks for so many years, this Pang Shengrong still accepted death like this! I don't know how he took care of it back then. Home business!"

Immediately, Jia Jing took out a piece of letter paper, dipped the pen and ink, and wrote a few words on it.

After drying the ink, Jia Jing handed it to Xue Pan and said, "Brother Xue, take this to Pang Shirong, and he will naturally give you the seasoning in Curry!"

"Brother Jing is still refreshing!"

Stretching out his thumb, Xue Pan praised Jia Jing.

Looking around again, Xue Pan approached mysteriously and asked in a low voice: "By the way, Brother Jing, do you plan to take a concubine?"

"A concubine?" Jia Jing was taken aback when she heard the words, "How did you mention this?"

"Brother Jing, if you want to take a concubine, you might as well consider my sister!"

Speaking of this, Xue Pan couldn't help sighing, "I was the one who made a fool of myself back then, and my younger sister was not elected to the palace, and now it's because of our family's status as a businessman, that my younger sister is being looked down upon for nothing. Really... hey ..."

Another sigh.

Seeing this, Jia Jing comforted her and said, "Brother Xue doesn't have to be like this. Everyone has their own destiny. How can you know it's not a blessing if you lose your horse?! Maybe in the future you will have to rejoice in your original choice! No, it's not easy to say." thing?"

Hearing Jia Jing's comfort, Xue Pan couldn't help shaking his head and sighing secretly when he thought of his mother's actions early this morning.

Compared with the relatives of her own family, her mother looked down on those nobles and nobles who had fallen, and the ordinary people were not in her eyes. A beautiful son-in-law.

But how can those high-ranking families be so easy to climb up?

And which high-ranking family is willing to make the daughter of a merchant's family a legal wife under the reputation of being greedy for money?

So in the end, it's just a concubine's position!

But even so, the Xue family inevitably had to worry about whether they would be eaten up to the bone!

…………

However, after Xue Baochai left in the morning, Xue Pan, who has always been extremely filial, even argued with Aunt Xue for a long time because of Baochai's marriage.

In the end, during the dispute, Xue Pan subconsciously said: "Looking around, if you want to marry into a high-ranking family, you will be a concubine for others, so why not consider Brother Jia Jing next door. Our family is very well taken care of!"

When the thought comes together, it is like a prairie fire, unstoppable.

"That's right, Brother Jing's appearance, character, character and ability are excellent, and he doesn't have any bad temper or bad habits, and at a young age, he is already a big boss in the court, let alone earning his own money. The family property of Wuhou Mansion..."

Xue Panyue said that the brighter his eyes, even Aunt Xue couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Aunt Xue also knew in her heart that marrying the well-known Jia Jing as a concubine was much, much better than most other choices!
However, Aunt Xue, who is well aware of the difference between a regular wife and a concubine, still hopes that Xue Baochai will be married back home with three letters and six courtesy.

So, holding on to her last sliver of obsession, Aunt Xue continued to entrust her relationship to find someone to see Xue Baochai; while Xue Pan volunteered, using business matters as an excuse to come to Jia Jing to find out.

……

At this time, Xue Pan heard that Jia Jing didn't seem to have any plans to take a concubine, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he was too embarrassed to say so, so he repeatedly asked: "If Brother Jing has plans to take a concubine, you must Consider my sister's!"

It is not clear why Xue Pan suddenly came up with the idea of ​​marrying Xue Baochai to him as a concubine, but seeing Xue Pan kept nagging there, Jia Jing laughed and said, "That's fine, if there is a concubine Plan, I will definitely consider Sister Xue!"

Xue Pan laughed and said, "Then let's make a deal like this!"

After all, he took the letterhead and hurried away.

In the study, Jia Jing shook her head with a smile. After what Xue Pan said just now, she couldn't help but have a lot of messy thoughts in her heart!
