The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 132 Xue Baochai's Thoughts

For Xue Baochai's younger sister, Xue Pan has always been respectful and fearful in his heart.

What is respectful is that Xue Baochai's knowledge and talent are ten times greater than his own. When Xue's father passed away, all the affairs of the family were handled by Xue Baochai, which involved a lot of hard work.

The one who was afraid was the younger sister who was at home, but she took care of herself very well. At that time, the chanting rang in her ears from time to time, which made Xue Pan's ears feel callous.

Not to mention this, Xue Pan was afraid that he would accidentally show impatience with Xue Baochai's preaching.

Oh, it's over right now!
That silver bean rolled down from her tender and white face as if she didn't want money, causing Xue Pan, who always loved his sister, to regret it every time he saw her, and immediately wanted to plead with Xue Baochai for mercy!

Therefore, seeing Xue Baochai angry now, knowing that Xue Pan was the one who had slipped up, he immediately shrank his seven-foot man behind Aunt Xue, hooked his head nonchalantly, not daring to look at Xue Baochai.

"Come out now, what's the use of hiding behind your mother!"

Xue Baochai pointed at Xue Pan, and said angrily, "Tell me, what do you mean by what you said just now? Are you secretly using what I wrote?!"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry!"

Aunt Xue stepped forward to stop Xue Baochai, "Your brother is closer to you than to my mother, how could he be willing to harm you?"

"Exactly! Can I still harm you?" Xue Pan, who hid behind Aunt Xue and felt much safer, also said loudly: "You didn't look at these days, mother and I are both worried about you!"

Xue Pan's two words made Aunt Xue's eyes turn red again.

"Our Xue family was a well-known family back then, but now, why can't even find a suitable family for the girl who is a direct relative!"

Xue Baochai calmed down when she heard the words, and comforted her mother, saying: "I don't know that my mother and brother worry about me all day long, but my mother listens to what my brother said just now. Do not live?!"

Xue Pan knew that he had said something wrong, so he begged Xue Baochai for forgiveness again and again, and promised not to speak nonsense again, and that was the end.

Afterwards, Xue Pan complained to Xue Baochai: "In my opinion, mother's vision is too high!

I still say the same thing, why don't you find a family with the right family, so that our two families can help each other, so that no one will be weaker than the other, and the other will not be short.

My sister doesn't have to look at other people's face to act, isn't it great?

But my mother just focused her eyes on those high-ranking families like princes and earls, and it's not like she doesn't know how they think of us merchant families, and she still wants to move forward..."

"I just want to find a good family for Baochai, what's wrong with that?"

Aunt Xue gritted her teeth, and said bitterly: "I just want to show your Aunt Jia that without him, Jia Baoyu, we can find a better one!

She thinks I don't know her tricks? ! "

At this moment, Xue Pan stood beside her without hesitation and poured cold water on Aunt Xue, "You can spend as much money as you want, but people will only say that you are a concubine. How can anyone be willing to give the position of a regular wife?"

Cursing his lips, Xue Pan said again: "Instead of being a concubine for those who look down on others, it's better to be a concubine for Brother Jing, at least we can all see their character!
Besides, with Brother Jing's current power and position, even if he is a concubine, he is not necessarily worse than the regular wives of ordinary wealthy families! "

After hearing Xue Pan's words, Aunt Xue also sighed and stopped talking.

But Xue Baochai couldn't help thinking a little more in his heart.

Silence for a while.

Seeing the silence in the room, Xue Pan changed the topic again, and said to Aunt Xue: "However, we can help to watch over my sister's marriage, but in the end I have to let my sister make up her own mind!"

Aunt Xue nodded, "That's natural! By the way, I have to tell your sister about the people I see these days!"

As he spoke, he turned his head and counted on his fingers one by one the families he had entrusted to see for Xue Baochai.

There are so many concubines of the prince's family, the continuation of the fallen Xungui family, and the main wives of other merchants' families with similar backgrounds, etc., and so on.

Talked for a long time.

Xue Baochai listened to them one by one, and couldn't help but think of the scene where on Jiamu's birthday, one by one ordered his wives to introduce their eldest son to Yingchun.

I also remembered that when I was in Marquis Zhaowu's mansion, I saw many times that many of the so-called big men who Xue Pan had to carefully entertain in the business field carefully brought gifts to Jia Jing's mansion, but in the end they were ordered by Lin Daiyu The scene where a random manager at home is dismissed.

Thinking of this, Xue Baochai couldn't help but sighed, feeling a lot of envy in his heart.

Seeing Xue Baochai sighing, Aunt Xue hurriedly comforted: "Don't sigh, let's ask someone to help take care of it, or I will ask the old lady tomorrow, and I will always find a suitable one!"

At this time, Xue Baochai thought of making concubines or continuations for those people who didn't know what they looked like or how old they were, so she couldn't help feeling a burst of rejection in her heart.

But if he asks his family to marry someone with the same family as the Xue family...

Xue Baochai couldn't help but think of the days when Xue Pan was arbitrarily made things difficult by even a small official, Xue Baochai naturally didn't want to live through such a life by herself...

After being silent for a long time, a thought gradually came to Xue Baochai's mind!
Looking at his mother beside him, Xue Baochai said, "Forget it, if you want me to marry those people, I'd rather be a concubine for Third Brother Jing next door!"

Aunt Xue felt a little unwilling in her heart, "But to be a concubine..."

Reaching out to interrupt Aunt Xue's words, Xue Baochai said: "As my brother said, I will be a concubine for Third Brother Jing. With Third Brother Jing's current power and status, it may not be much worse than other wives. !

Besides, the main wife over there is Sister Lin, and she is also kind from the bottom of her heart. Even if I am a concubine, I think I will not be wronged! "

Xue Baochai has completely figured it out at this time!

Aunt Xue gritted her teeth when she heard the words, and made up her mind!

"In that case, I'll give up this old face and go talk to Miss Lin!"

After finishing speaking, Aunt Xue's complexion changed again, and she told Xue Pan: "Tomorrow, you can go to the people's market to buy a few servants, and tidy up our house in the middle of the capital. Move back home!"

Xue Pan immediately agreed, and said happily: "When I came to Beijing that day, I told my mother that living in a relative's house is not as comfortable as living in our own house."

……

As a result, Xue Pan went to the people's market to buy someone to renovate the old house, and Aunt Xue was going to find an opportunity to find Lin Daiyu and talk about marrying Xue Baochai as a concubine!
