No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

"Xiong Er is at least familiar." Ou Mengmeng thought about it and said softly, "I like Xiong Er better."

"Yes, it looks a bit fun. However, their eldest son has not yet been engaged, so there will be a lot of trouble." Jia Yuan still shook her head, looking serious.

"Yes, this is why I support the Zhang family. The Zhang family looks complicated, but in fact it is simpler than other families. Zhang Zhen is the eldest son of the second wife. If the family is separated, she is the eldest daughter-in-law of the family. Now the second wife has made a mistake, Zhang Zhen The minister will give you the gift. As long as you coax the second wife, it won't be too difficult. Zhang Ziduan is sober enough, and according to your uncle's wishes, if Zhang Zhen gives it time, he may be allowed to sneak out. It's amazing. I like Xiong Er very much. But if it's Ying'er, it's feasible. Letting you marry him would be a bit of a waste."

"You really are, you said it as if I like to be in charge." Jia Yuan laughed, but thinking about it, if she married Xiong Er, she would be alone.

"Being the eldest daughter is inherently domineering. Well, if you don't have any intention, then I will decide on this marriage." Ou Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Jia Yuan had no feelings for that Xiong Er. , I’m really thankful to God.

"Aren't you afraid of the confusion inherited from the Zhang family?" Jia Yuan couldn't help laughing when she saw the old lady being so nervous.

These things actually represent the ancestral confusion of the Zhang family, not knowing the importance.Like the first-generation Hou Changling, he found a problem and didn't want to solve it. He only wanted to trick him. How did the second-generation Hou Changling do it? He felt that he was dedicated and responsible, and never thought about what was wrong with him?The third generation of Chang Ling Hou took over his father's mess and lived a life that could not be called useless, but he was indeed weak. To drive away the old aunt was actually the trick Zhang Zhen learned from Jia She and Jia Zhen.Then she saw Zhang Shangshu's stupid move of making a cage to drive away the three and four bedrooms. She was embarrassed to say that this was what the Minister of Punishment should do.

Therefore, the two ladies of the Zhang family are nice people, and they know how to help each other very well, but it is good that they are so friendly and harmonious, but can they live their whole lives like this behind closed doors?

"The Zhang family has been trapped in the inner house for generations, and it was only in the generation of Zhang Shangshu that it rose to prominence. However, the map of marriages between his family and various aristocratic families has been shown to you. I am a little hesitant about the Xiong family, and it is actually based on this. Just look at the marriages. According to the diagram, the Zhang family is relatively smarter when it comes to getting married. I'm afraid they would have jumped on the New Emperor's ship long ago. Their family has been confused for several generations. No matter how confused a man is, his suffering will really be in vain. Women choose those who are more ambitious. , maybe it is also for the sake of descendants, if it is replaced by someone who is a little more powerful, a little more thoughtful, a little selfish, their family will be just fine?" Ou Mengmeng closed her eyes and smiled lightly, and said casually.

She is really relieved now. Of the girls in her family, she likes Jia Yuan the most, she is a naturally cute girl, but the one she loves the most is Jia Yuan, who has a dedicated personality and has been working hard for the Jia family all her life.So she was not willing to let her suffer the slightest injustice, and she would rather think ahead in everything.With Jia Yuan's ability, as long as the Zhang family doesn't commit any serious trouble, Jia Yuan can deal with it calmly.As long as she has no feelings for Xiong Er now.It's good to find something you like, but something that is relatively suitable may actually be more suitable for a career type like Jia Yuan.

"By the way, old lady, I heard that Aunt Xue intended to give Baochai to Wang Ren." Jia Yuan suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly.After all, she is Mrs. Wang's biological daughter, and her birth background is Baoqin, the daughter of the Wang family's roommate. Baoqin's parents were raised because Baoqin entered the palace with Jia Yuan.So when the servants were cleared, his parents were fine.Because of this, gossip about the Wang family spread quickly.

"How old is Baochai?" Ou Mengmeng frowned and opened her eyes. She didn't care much about Baochai, but age was an issue. She was 12 years old and had just graduated from elementary school.Asking her to get married is challenging Teacher Ou Mengmeng's bottom line.And it is a completely unacceptable bottom line.

"Grandma." Jia Yuan patted Ou Mengmeng gently, "We just talked about the marriage and followed the procedures. It won't be a problem in a few years. Baochai still pays great attention to filial piety!" "Don't worry!" Ou Mengmeng said slightly After thinking about it, he closed his eyes.Baochai still had more than two years of filial piety, and Wang Ren had his leg amputated, but he was not young anymore. She felt that this was Aunt Xue's wishful thinking, not Wang Ziteng's intention. In Wang Ren's view, Wang Ren was left with Liu. It would take several years for the planting to take effect, which was not acceptable to the Wang family.So at this moment, Jia Yuan can't interfere randomly, so as not to get it on herself.Then the gain outweighs the loss.

Jia Yuan thought about it, "What if Baochai comes to ask for help?"

"If this is an internal decision of the Wang family, do you think we can stop it?" Ou Mengmeng didn't want to say any more.

Jia Yuan nodded. This was an internal matter within the Wang family. Wang Ren had lost one of his legs now, and there was no suitable person in Beijing.Ruo Ziteng didn't want to marry too lowly, so he looked around and found that in the end there was only the daughter of the Xue family.Speaking from the outside, it can also be said that they are getting closer, and they don't care about their family status.

Jia Yuan was just a little bit impatient. Although Baochai had not been studying in Jia's family for a long time, she had some feelings for him.During this period, Daiyu and Baochai went home because they wanted to marry her.As a result, in just a short time, Baochai was about to be given to that guy Wang Ren. I couldn’t bear to think about it.

"If you want to think about it, who can Baochai marry?" Ou Mengmeng saw that she was sitting still and did not leave, so she turned over and faced the wall, and said lightly.

Jia Yuan thought about it and sighed.Although Baochai's current identity has changed from the daughter of a merchant to the daughter of a landlord.Baochai has now learned a lot in Rongfu, and the shopkeepers and managers of the Xue family's shop in Jingzhong have also been brought out to practice.It can be said that they imitated the Jia family and played tricks on the stewards. Now the Xue family does not do business themselves, but only uses the shop to collect rent.He closed his doors to observe filial piety, and finally came to Beijing without a bad reputation.Xue Pan is now in the northwest. Although it is not very good, it is not worse.Only then would she feel that it was a pity for Baochai to be given to the dandy Wang Ren.

But think about it, Baochai's family has been without official titles for several generations. All the wealth in the family comes from business, and there is also an elder brother who was sentenced to prison for murder.Therefore, Baochai is not even considered to be the daughter of a squire. A squire is a family with official status in the last two generations of her family.

Like the Xiangling who was harmed by her brother, the girl originally named Yinglian, her father was a Jinshi and retired, so she was a proper daughter of a squire.Otherwise, when they file a lawsuit this time, they will not give the girl a widow to inherit the Feng family's wealth, and at the same time, they can issue a letter of understanding to Xue Pan!If the Wang family hadn't found out his family background at that time under Ou Mengmeng's prompting, and worked through it, they still wouldn't know what to do with Xue Pan's case.

This is a very strict identity issue in this era.Baochai's biggest problem is that she doesn't have enough status.Her status is not up to her character and talent.Also, the social circle.Now think about it, she was educated by the Duke's wife, but she didn't have an identity that matched her. Only when the friends she grew up with actually got married did they realize that they were all fundamentally different.Now Jia Yuan couldn't help but sigh for Baochai.Thinking about it now, Aunt Xue wants to marry Baochai back to the Wang family, which is actually a good thing.
