Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 191 Mrs. Wang is determined to match her, but Aunt Xue has other ideas in mind (please subscribe and vote monthly)

After the two sisters talked for a while, Mrs. Wang finally learned the purpose of her sister's visit to the capital.

After the First World War in the capital, although Prince Zhongshun was defeated and died, Emperor Qingyong was still in Jinling.

In the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, there are still many forces supporting Emperor Qingyong.

However, there are also many families who have other ideas.

Under such a situation, as one of the families whose roots are in Jinling, the Xue family naturally has its own considerations.

Among the four major families, the Jia family and the Wang family have already taken the first step and moved the capital to the capital.

This can be clearly seen from the fact that the two sisters of the Jia family and the eldest daughter of the Wang family married the regent Su Ran.

Nowadays, only the Xue family and the Shi family have not expressed anything.

However, Jia's mother came from a family of historians and married the two sisters Yuanchun and Yingchun into the regent's palace. This should also represent the attitude of the historians to a certain extent.

So, to put it this way, among the four major families, only the Xue family still has not expressed its position.

As an imperial merchant, the Xue family would definitely not be able to take a stand when the forces were fighting.

In that case, no matter which side wins in the end, they will definitely not be taken seriously.

Therefore, the more you are in this situation, the more clearly you need to express your position.

Of course, there is definitely a risk in this approach. Once the bet is wrong, everything will be lost.

However, there is another sentence that is more important, that is, only by taking high risks can you get higher returns.

As an imperial merchant, the Xue family naturally understands this truth.

Nowadays, three of the four families of King Jia, Shi and Xue have expressed their opinions, and the four families are already in the same spirit. They all suffer and prosper. Even if the Xue family wants to have other ideas now, it is impossible.

What's more, Regent Su Ran can be bet by three families, and his strength can be imagined.

Therefore, in this bet, the Xue family will definitely have no choice but to follow it to the end.

It was based on the above considerations that Aunt Xue took her daughter all the way to Jia's house in the capital.

Its purpose is naturally self-evident.

However, these are just Aunt Xue's thoughts.

Why did Mrs. Wang ask about Xue Baochai's whereabouts as soon as she saw her sister?

In fact, in her heart, she still prefers that this girl Baoyu can take a closer relationship with her son Baoyu and get closer and closer.

But after hearing Aunt Xue's overt and covert intentions, Mrs. Wang did not express her position at this time.

After all, I can't decide this matter myself, the old lady must make the decision.

What's more, in addition to Xue Baochai, Lin Ruhai now holds a position in Beijing, and the girl from the Lin family is also very good.

But who to choose in the end is not up to me alone.

For this reason, Mrs. Wang did not focus the conversation on this, but mainly focused on family affairs.

Just as the two sisters were chatting happily, Jin Chuan'er, the maid outside, came in and reported to Mrs. Wang: "Miss Cousin is here to please Mrs. An."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she immediately stood up with a smile: "Please come in quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young lady wearing pink clothes walked in.

Who is this person if not Xue Baochai, the daughter of the Xue family.

As soon as Mrs. Wang saw Xue Baochai, a satisfied smile immediately appeared in her eyes.

That look was exactly like the way a mother-in-law looks at her daughter-in-law.

When Xue Baochai saw Mrs. Wang, he immediately bowed and bowed: "Baochai has met my aunt."

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Wang hurriedly stepped forward and took Xue Baochai's hand, looking up and down, and looking left and right.

That look, the more you look at it, the more you like it, the more you look at it, the more satisfied you are.

And the look in her eyes naturally fell on Aunt Xue's eyes.

However, Aunt Xue didn't say anything, she just looked at her daughter, Xue Baochai, with a smile.After the greetings, Mrs. Wang pulled Xue Baochai to sit next to her, and Yinchuaner also brought the tea up in time.

Looking at the young, beautiful and well-educated niece, Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Look at this little girl, she has become more and more beautiful after two years without seeing her. Look at her skin and complexion. I feel more and more beautiful." The more I look at it, the more I feel like we are getting old."

When Aunt Xue heard this, she smiled and echoed: "Hey, the children are so old, how can we not grow old?"

After hearing Mrs. Wang's praise, Xue Baochai just pursed her lips and smiled without saying much.

With her delicate appearance, red lips and white teeth, shy pink face, and flowing eyes, she is truly a beauty that is unique among all.

In fact, Aunt Xue is two years younger than Mrs. Wang, and is not yet 40 years old this year.

However, compared with her daughter Xue Baochai, she must look much more mature.

In this way, the three of them talked together for a while. Jia Mu had already sent someone to send a message, saying that they wanted to have dinner together.

Mrs. Wang went to the Prince Regent's Mansion to deal with her son Jia Baoyu's affairs for a long time today, and she happened to be hungry at the moment.

Aunt Xue and her daughter Xue Baochai came all the way, and they ate something every day on the way.

At this time, I heard that Jia Mu asked me to have a meal together, so I went over without delay.

When the three of them arrived at Jia Mu's place, they found that Tanchun and Xichun from the Jia family, and Daiyu from the Lin family had already arrived.

Not only that, Mrs. Wang's daughter-in-law Li Wan was also sitting beside Tanchun.

Of course, Mrs. Xing was also there, and she was separated from Jia Mu by a seat, so she should have reserved the next seat for Aunt Xue.

Seeing Aunt Xue arriving with her daughter Xue Baochai, everyone except Jia Mu stood up.

Seeing this, Aunt Xue smiled and said to everyone: "Old lady, please let them sit down. It's so grand, I'm embarrassed."

Hearing this, Jia Mu laughed and said, "Okay, okay, okay, please sit down and talk."

When everyone heard this, they immediately sat back in their seats.

After everyone was seated, Mrs. Wang began to introduce Xue Baochai to everyone present.

Of course, Mrs. Xing and Li Wan have met before, mainly because Tanchun, Xichun, and Lin Daiyu have never met before.

After the introductions were completed and everyone greeted each other, Jia Mu asked everyone to start the banquet.

During the banquet, everyone drank and chatted happily, but they didn't talk about anything important. They just talked about everyday things.

After the banquet dispersed, Jia Mu left her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, alone.

"This girl from the Xue family is here, why haven't I seen Baoyu? No matter how busy the palace is, it's time to come back. Also, I haven't seen anyone else in the past two days. Let him come to my place later. .”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her heart tightened suddenly. She must not be able to hide the matter about Xindao Baoyu. She had to go to Jiubian anyway in two days. Sooner or later, she would not be able to hide the matter. It was better to just talk about it now.

Thinking of this, she sighed softly and said: "There is something I haven't had time to tell you. Today I went to the Prince Regent's Mansion. Baoyu got into trouble."

When Jia Mu heard this, her face immediately became serious: "What trouble did you get into? In a place like the Hanlin Academy, isn't it said that just reading books and doing knowledge every day can also get into trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang sighed again and said, "This careless thing set fire to the library of the Hanlin Academy."

After hearing this, Jia Mu immediately fell silent.

She never thought that her Baoyu would do such a deviant thing.

After being silent for a long time, Jia Mu looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "Then you go to the Prince Regent's Mansion. What do you say there?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes and said: "I begged Su Ran for a long time before he finally let go, and finally let Baoyu go to Nine Sides to preach the new policy of the imperial court, and then let him return to Beijing for use."

After hearing what Mrs. Wang said, Jia Mu fell into thinking.

She never thought that her grandson Baoyu would do such a thing.

However, now that the matter has come to this, she can understand Su Ran's good intentions.

As the saying goes, a loving mother often loses her children. This is something Jia Mu knew very well.

Thinking of this, she looked at Mrs. Wang and said: "Don't be reluctant to go out and gain experience. Look at Lian'er. After all this hard work, I heard that I was promoted to an official position two days ago. Son, what you get with a knife and a gun is different after all."

In response, Mrs. Wang could only nod silently, not knowing what to say.
