Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Chapter 104 Jia Baoyu's Marriage
After returning home, Mrs. Xue couldn't help but exclaimed to Xue Baobao, "It's not easy for me, it's the Chinese New Year, and my family is still here, and I can't even have a hot meal. I don't know how much grievances I have suffered on weekdays!" "

Xue Baobao smiled and said, "It can be seen that it was definitely wise for my wife not to send me to the palace to be selected.

It’s okay if you can’t be chosen, but if you are chosen, I will definitely not be able to compare with the virtuous concubine.”

Mrs. Xue was also scared, "My dear, you're right. Fortunately, mom listened to you and didn't listen to what your father and uncle said about sending you to the palace to help you with your mother-in-law!
Otherwise, my son still doesn’t know how to suffer, but even if his family members knew about it, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to help him! "

Xue Baobao took the opportunity to brainwash her, "Who says it's not true? Fortune and glory are not easy to come by, and royal marriage is not easy to get. My wife didn't send me to the palace at first, and she rejected Mrs. Sheep a few days ago. It's really It really hurts me.”

Mrs. Xue couldn't help but put her in her arms, caressed her, and sighed, "My dear, you're right, we have food and clothing.

Your eldest brother is even more powerful, and your brother is now willing to make progress. It is the greatest blessing for our family to be safe and happy together! "

Xue Baobao nodded repeatedly, "That's right, my wife is very wise."

Mrs. Xue laughed, "What great wisdom? If it weren't for my obedient son telling me every day these years and brother Xin supporting me outside, our family's life would not be as good as it is today. Today, the Queen Mother even talked to me in person!" "

Mrs.

He has no heirs, and he is still like this now. When he gets old, he doesn’t know what he will be like! "

Xue Baobao, "..."

If the plot of the original work is followed, it is estimated that Jia Yuanchun will not live to grow old.

According to Yu Xin, the Emperor of the Xiao Dynasty did not like women at all. No matter how good-looking Jia Yuanchun was, he would only look like a red and pink skull. Otherwise, Jia Yuanchun would not have wasted so long in the palace before being favored. Concubine.

Moreover, although the emperor had been in power for several years, he still had to obey the Supreme Emperor's orders in everything, which was very frustrating.

He deeply hates the old aristocratic families such as the four princes and eight princes who are the confidants of the Supreme Emperor and who always want him to look after him.

Now that he is forced to accept Jia Yuanchun due to the so-called "filial piety", he just wants to live up to his reputation. How can he be favored?

It is estimated that the day when the Supreme Emperor dies, the Four Kings and Eight Dukes and other old-established families will decline. The four major families of King Jia Shi and Xue in the original work are typical representatives.

……

……

The mother and daughter of the Xue family were discussing Jia Yuanchun. In Jia's house, Jia's mother and Jia Zheng were also discussing the matter.

Jia Zheng was still the same as before. When he heard that it was Jia Yuanchun who was begging, he immediately became nerdy and said seriously, "Since it is the Queen's order, we naturally have no choice but to obey the order and release the Wang family."

Mother Jia, "..."

How could she have given birth to such a terrible thing!She shouldn't have asked him to discuss it!
Mother Jia was distressed and waved her hand to signal Jia Zheng to get out of here, and ordered Jia Baoyu to come over.

Because of the Chinese New Year, Jia Baoyu was in a good mood. As soon as he came in, he threw himself into Jia Mu's arms and put honey on his lips to please her.

Jia Mu's mood, which had been gloomy for a long time, finally cleared up and she gently caressed Jin Sun.

In fact, she was not prepared to imprison Wang for long. Even if it was for Baoyu, she could not imprison Wang forever.

There is a mother who is locked up in a Buddhist hall to worship Buddha. Even if outsiders cannot guess the specific reason, how can her gem have a good reputation and be said to be a good match?
Tomorrow is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and relatives are visiting each other. If Wang doesn't show up all the time, it will be a source of controversy. If she wants to be released, she might as well release her during the Chinese New Year.

But when it comes to marriage—

Mother Jia rubbed Jia Baoyu's snow-white and tender hands, not to mention calluses, not even old skin, and said, "Baoyu, can grandma ask your sister Bao back to be your wife?"

Jia Baoyu was stunned and said happily, "Then Sister Bao can be at our house every day!"

Jia Mu laughed, she was still a child!
"Then not only can your sister Bao be at our house every day, but she can also live in the same room and sleep in the same bed as you in Xiaoxiang Pavilion!"

When Jia Mu asked Wang Xifeng to choose first, Wang Xifeng chose the best Yihongyuan without any politeness.

Jia Baoyu's second choice was Xiaoxiang Pavilion, where Lin Daiyu was supposed to live.

Jia Baoyu laughed blankly, then reacted and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, I, I'm a little afraid of Sister Bao."

Mother Jia, "..."

Seeing that Jia's mother was silent, Jia Baoyu was afraid that she would disagree, so she quickly added, "Grandma, didn't you want Sister Lin to marry me before? Why did you change it to Sister Bao?"

Mother Jia, "..."

If Lin Ruhai hadn't refused to let go, how could she have considered the Xue family's daughter?

No matter how successful Yu Xin was and how he gained the favor, Jin Yiwei's reputation was still poor.

Yu Xin himself didn't have a good reputation, and he was just the adopted son of the Xue family.

The Xue family is a merchant family, so how can they be worthy of her golden grandson?
Fortunately, that girl from the Xue family had the favor of the Queen Mother, otherwise she would never have chosen her.

In this case, Jia Mu would not tell Jia Baoyu. Her golden grandson is still young, so how can she hear these dirty things?

Mother Jia smiled and coaxed, "What? Do I think your sister Bao is not as good as your sister Lin?"

Jia Baoyu was startled and hurriedly denied it.

"Isn't it done? If you marry Bao Yatou, you will be Brother Xin's brother-in-law, and you will be able to see Brother Xin every day.

Don't you always say that Brother Xin and Sister Bao are a pair of gods, but unfortunately they are a bit cold-tempered, so why don't you always get close to them?

When you marry Sister Bao, you will be able to be close to Brother Xin all the time! "

In this life, because of Xue Baobao's interference, Lin Daiyu stayed away from Bao Dai before her love even sprouted.

The latter two naturally lost the innate conditions of "eating and living together" in the original work to develop a relationship.

Although Jia Baoyu still loves Lin Daiyu at this time, he is not as obsessed as in the original work.

Hearing this, there was only a slight resistance, but his attention was quickly attracted by Yu Xin, and he asked with bright eyes, "Ancestor, if I marry Sister Bao, will Brother Yu look at me differently?
I saw him being very considerate and caring towards Cousin Pan, and very kind to Brother Lian, but he didn't pay much attention to me. I was really envious."

Mother Jia was displeased. The entire Xue family was ignorant and would rather chase Jia Lian than make friends with her Baoyu!

I really don't know what to think!

Merchants just can't get on the stage!
Mother Jia felt uncomfortable saying this to Jia Baoyu, so she nodded heavily.

Jia Baoyu suddenly beamed with joy, and kept asking Jia's mother when he could take Xue Baobao over.

Jia's mother patiently comforted him for a long time, then ordered the maid to take Jia Baoyu to eat fruit, and called Wang Xifeng over.

Wang Xifeng prided herself on her strong health, and it was already three months before she found out she was pregnant. She was busy at the end of the year, so she didn't stay in bed to rest, and she still managed the huge Rongguo Mansion.Now that Mother Jia wants to let Mrs. Wang out, she naturally has to tell the housekeeper first.

Although Wang Xifeng deeply hated Mrs. Wang for first using her as a shield and ruthlessly leading people to ransack her house, she later found out that she was guilty and even wanted to drag her into the water with her.

But Mother Jia said she wanted to let Mrs. Wang out, and she had no right to object, so she raised her flawless smile and clapped her hands and said, "That's how it should be!"

No matter how wrong the aunt is, she has already known how to repent. She can't live in Caocui'an forever. Apart from other things, how can the empress and Baoyu get along with her?
I have long been thinking about how to plead with my ancestors, but I was afraid that my ancestors would suspect me of favoring my own aunt, so I never dared to speak. Now my ancestors have said it themselves, isn't everyone happy? "

Mother Jia is an old woman, so she doesn't know that she may not mean what she says, but all she wants is Wang Xifeng's attitude. She doesn't care at all what Wang Xifeng thinks in her heart.

After Jia Mu got the result she wanted, she began to care about Wang Xifeng's health and asked her if she needed to take care of her for a while and put aside the affairs of the house.

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "I originally thought that it would be inconvenient for my sister-in-law during this New Year's Day, and the girls' homes of Yingchun and Tanchun would not be able to welcome and greet relatives, so I would have to barely hold on.

Now the ancestors let the second wife out, but I happened to be lazy, so I left it to the second wife to greet relatives and go to various houses to pay New Year greetings.

I will leave the chores in the house to my sister-in-law and Tanchun for the time being, while I concentrate on raising the baby. My ancestors love this baby! "

Mother Jia nodded after hearing that she had arranged it well. She was afraid that she would think too much, so she specially gave her a reassuring injection, "Don't worry, even if your aunt is released, this house will still be under your control. Anyone can rob her." Don’t leave.”

Wang Xifeng couldn't help but replied, "Ancestor, I would rather have someone take over this family for me!
Only after I paid the rent from Zhuangzi years ago did I finally see money in my hands.

It’s just that once this new year is over, it will hit the bottom again. Next year, the whole family, young and old, don’t know where it will land! "

Mother Jia didn't care whether she was happy or not. When she heard what she said, she frowned, "With such a big family fortune, how can we really be reduced to the point where we don't even have money to chew it? Save a sip here, save a pinch there. One sip is enough."

Wang Xifeng held the handkerchief to cover the sneer at the corner of her mouth, "Ancestor, prices are different now from when our ancestors were in charge.

What's more, our family's situation is different now than it was back then.

If you were to run the house like the second wife, stealing a little here, taking a little there, and borrowing millions in foreign debt, that would be easy.

I am timid and thin-skinned, but I cannot do such a thing."

Mother Jia's face twitched, she reluctantly comforted her with a few words, and then sent her away. In her heart, she began to plan to welcome Xue Baobao in while Wang Xifeng was giving birth and during confinement.

At that time, she can naturally take the opportunity to completely hand over the housekeeping rights to Xue Baobao. She is most at ease when this house is left to Baoyu's wife.

As long as this is the case, things must be urgent. There has always been a custom in the capital that people do not marry in the first month of the twelfth lunar month. When the first lunar month comes, they will send someone to Xue Mansion to tell them!

Wang Xifeng will give birth in July at most, and there will only be about half a year in between.

It's a bit rushed. The Xue Mansion may not be able to prepare the dowry, and they may even push it back.

After all, even for the sake of the girl's family's dignity, no family would be so eager to marry a girl.

But with their family background and Baoyu's talent and appearance, the Xue family definitely didn't want to miss out on this marriage.

When the time comes, she will inevitably have to come forward in person to explain the serious relationship to her concubine.

Although the concubine loves Brother Feng, when it comes to her own daughter, she naturally doesn't care about her niece...

……

……

Mrs. Wang was imprisoned in Caocui Temple by Jia's mother for several months. She was ordered to copy scriptures, chant sutras, walk several meters of Buddha, and pray for Jia Yuanchun and Jia Baoyu every day. She suffered a lot.

When he was released, he looked at least ten years older. His originally black hair had already seen a lot of white frost, and he even walked a little stooped.

Jia Mu simply ordered someone to bring Mrs. Wang back without notifying anyone.

As soon as Mrs. Wang heard that she could go back, she didn't care about the fact that no one had a car to pick her up. She walked all the way from the Grand View Garden back to Rongxi Hall with the support of the two rough ladies who were waiting for her at the Cuicui Temple.

Unexpectedly, he saw Jia Zheng waiting for him in the house. He was surprised, happy and aggrieved, and tears suddenly burst out of his eyes.

Jia Zheng frowned, "Why are you crying? Are you being wronged by asking you to go to Congcui Temple to pray?"

Mrs. Wang was stunned. Jia Zheng didn't even wait for her answer and said impatiently, "If I hadn't personally begged for mercy this time, I wouldn't have let you out so easily!

From now on, you will stay at home obediently, serve the old lady, and recite sutras for the empress and Baoyu.

You don’t need to worry about anything else. If you dare to act as recklessly as before, I will definitely not forgive you lightly! "

Jia Zheng said and walked away without even looking at Mrs. Wang, whose face was filled with tears.

Mrs. Wang was shocked, angry and resentful. As soon as Jia Zheng left, she couldn't help but throw herself on the bed and howl loudly.

The two rough ladies who were waiting for her returned gave some dry advice, changed their looks, and slipped out quietly.

They followed her to serve Mrs. Wang at Caocui Nunnery. They couldn't even leave the nunnery. They hadn't seen their family for several months and didn't have much money. Naturally, they were full of complaints.

They originally thought that after Mrs. Wang was released, they would be through with it, but they didn't expect that they would be in this situation when they came back.

Not even a car was sent, the second master even scolded him, and even the whole house was moved.

Apart from some heavy furniture and two quilts, not even a teapot for drinking water was left.

What future do they have with Mrs. Wang like this?
Seeing that Mrs. Wang was still crying for an unknown amount of time, it was the New Year's Eve, so it was prudent for them to go home for the New Year reunion.

Mrs. Wang cried for a long time. She was tired, hungry and thirsty from crying. She subconsciously called for someone, but no one answered her call for a long time.

She had no choice but to get up with difficulty and go out to see. She stood in the yard and shouted for a long time but no one answered.

She was really thirsty, so she thought about pouring herself a cup of tea to drink first. Unexpectedly, the hot tea that was always on the table was missing, and even the teapot was missing.

Mrs. Wang was a little stunned. For a moment, she didn't even understand what was going on.

Then, suddenly, she seemed to understand something and looked around in panic.

Sure enough, the room was empty, except for the ornaments in the Duobao Pavilion, the table, the precious flowers and trees on the high table, the dowry on the dressing table...

gone!
It's all gone!
Madam Wang opened the drawers of the dressing table like crazy, and then opened the wardrobe and boxes.

gone!
It's all gone!
Even her usual clothes are gone!
It must be Wang Xifeng!

is her!

She has always been a person who wants to take revenge, and she is the most evil-minded. If she ransacked her house, she would naturally ransack hers too!I have to copy more thoroughly!
