Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Mrs.

It must be the merit we accumulated by donating 200 million yuan to the Shanxi earthquake that made Brother Xin come to our house! "

200 million silver!
Wang Xifeng hurriedly asked for details, but Mrs. Xue did not dare to say that it was Xue Baobao's idea. She simply told the story about how Mr. Xue Er calculated on Xue Pan and avoided donating money.

Wang Xifeng clapped her hands when she heard this, "Auntie is right when she says that. If it weren't for my aunt's great merits, how could a Bodhisattva ask my cousin to come to my aunt's house?

Now I'm just afraid that if my eldest cousin gets married one day, the bride will look similar to my aunt——"

Wang Xifeng looked at Mrs.

Now, because of the discord between my aunt and my aunt, my uncle didn't even say anything about sending gifts for Sister Bao's son or hairpin, let alone restraining my aunt and cousins ​​from respecting my aunt."

Mrs. Xue had actually been worried about what Wang Xifeng said for a long time. Now that she heard it, she felt even more worried, so she spoke her true words.

"There's nothing we can do about it. We have to make sure it's his marriage."

Mrs. , I am also speechless."

Wang Xifeng pretended to be worried with her. When she saw Mrs.

Mrs. Xue hurriedly asked what to do, and Wang Xifeng smiled and leaned on her shoulder to whisper a few words.

Mrs. Xue was stunned and waved her hands repeatedly, "How about that? Sister Bao calls Brother Xin brother!"

Wang Xifeng laughed, "We are not biological brothers. There is no law in this dynasty that prohibits sworn brothers and sisters from getting married.

If it really happened, this biological son-in-law would be closer than an adopted son, and my aunt could still keep Sister Bao by her side. Is there anything better than this in the world? "

Mrs. Xue had never thought about this incident at first, but after hearing these few words, she suddenly became interested. She only had worries, "Our family is a bit low-ranking, maybe brother Xin wants to find someone from a noble family." The daughter of the family changes her family."

"Aunt, please tell me with your conscience, Sister Bao's appearance, temperament, and ability are all top-notch.

To be fair to my cousin, our sister Bao can do it even as a princess!
Moreover, I saw that my eldest cousin was very filial to my aunt, so why would my aunt just mention it and my eldest cousin would agree?

As long as we get married, how can we, Sister Bao, still be unable to win over my eldest cousin based on her appearance and character? "

Wang Xifeng was afraid that Mrs. Xue would be suspicious of Yu Xin's bad conduct, or that Yu Xin and Xue Baobao were already in a relationship, so she didn't mention a word of what Lin Daiyu said, and only used the word "filial piety".

"Even if it doesn't work, it's just a matter of words. Auntie doesn't have to take action herself. I'll ask Lian'er to quietly find out what my eldest cousin is saying.

If it works, that's the best. If it doesn't work, it's because Lian'er's thing is not solemn. It has nothing to do with my aunt and I, and it has nothing to do with Sister Bao!
Even if the eldest cousin wants to pull out the Xiuchun knife, what he will cut is Lian'er's tongue, and he can't cut our heads left and right! "

Mrs. My sister is not easy to get along with."

Wang Xifeng responded continuously.

Early the next morning, she urged Jia Lian to get up and gave such instructions.

Jia Lian was a good person and immediately saw the benefits of this marriage. He dressed up hurriedly and went to find Yu Xin.

Yu Xin was practicing his sword, and the boy didn't dare to disturb him. Jia Lian was not in a hurry, so he waited outside Yu Xin's yard while silently calculating.

He waited for nearly half an hour before the boy finally came to invite him in. Yu Xin had finished practicing his sword.

Because Jia Lian came, Yu Xin ordered breakfast to be sent to his yard to eat with Jia Lian.

While eating, Jia Lian lamented the emperor's great kindness, lamented that Xue Baobao was so blessed, and said with a smile, "My eldest cousin is now famous and the emperor's favorite. The only thing missing is a beautiful wife like a flower."

The younger brother has a good marriage here and is worthy of his eldest cousin.

But she is my younger brother's wife's biological cousin. She has just grown hair, and her appearance and talents are of the highest quality.

The most rare thing is that she is very good at cooking and has a very kind temperament. She is worthy of being a good wife to my cousin. I wonder what my cousin wants? "

Yu Xin was stunned. He had just grown hair, was very good at cooking, and was Wang Xifeng's cousin. Why did she sound like a baby?
Yu Xin looked at Jia Lian suspiciously and then asked tentatively, "But I don't know which family the second master Lian is talking about?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "It's the Xue family in the capital. It's perfect for me to know my eldest cousin."

Yu Xin, "..."

Lian Er went out early in the morning and his head was caught in the door. He knew that he and the baby were brother and sister——

Oh, no!Yu Xin suddenly remembered that he was no longer Bao Bao's biological brother!
The abacus in Yu Xin's mind started to click. The person who really had the final say in the baby's marriage was not him, but Mrs. Xue.

Before he could find a suitable match for his baby, as soon as Bao Buqi Baozhuang took action, Mrs.

Even if Mrs. Xue discusses with him and he objects, as long as Mrs. Xue is determined, he will have to spend a lot of effort to turn things around, and maybe Baozhuang will take advantage of him!

Now that Lian Er has arrived——

Yu Xin gave an enigmatic smile and said, "Marriage is an important matter that is dictated by my parents and a matchmaker. Although I was lonely when I was young, I am lucky enough to have a wife who cares about me now. I have to listen to my wife, but Second Master Lian came to ask me. Is it really good?" reason".

Jia Lian understood and bowed with a smile, "That's right, that's right. It's my younger brother Meng Lang. I will invite my cousin to drink some time to apologize."

Yu Xin changed his subject and started telling lies, "The last time I was in a critical situation of life and death, when the master gave me instructions, he specifically told me not to talk about marriage before I was 28 years old, otherwise there will be a bloody disaster. Please ask Mr. Lian understanding".

Jia Liandai, what does this mean?Was it really a master's order, or was it because he was talking about Yu Xin's adopted mother and adopted sister, and he couldn't easily offend her, so he just made such an excuse?
Yu Xin added, "But Second Master Lian said that there is no need to apologize. When it comes to drinking, you should drink. Second Master Lian, do you still remember what I mentioned to Sister Feng about Ying Tianfu's lack of common knowledge?" "

Jia Lian was stunned and nodded quickly, "What? Is that missing still there?"

At that time, it was Wang Xifeng's birthday, and Yu Xin said that he would give the missing piece to him. Because he made a fuss, it was ignored. After hearing what Yu Xin said, it was still his?
Yu Xin curled up his lips with profound meaning, "Because I haven't been able to find a suitable candidate, so it has been vacant. If Second Master Lian is interested, I will send someone to ask."

Lian Er, work well for me, the benefits will be great!

Jia Lian was very surprised. He subconsciously stood up and bowed, and then looked at Yu Xin doubtfully. Was he willing or unwilling?
As soon as he raised his head, he saw Yu Xin raise the corners of his lips and smile at him with indescribable meaning, "When the matter is settled, I will send a message to Sister Feng. Second Master Lian has always been well-mannered. In this position, The future is bound to be bright!"

Jia Lian suddenly realized that he seemed to be willing, or particularly willing, otherwise why would he be given such a big fat job?

But I'm afraid that the master's instructions are true. Fortunately, cousin Xue is still young and will only be eighteen in three years, so there is no rush.

So, Jia Lian smiled tacitly. Commander Yu reassures you, but it is just that both parties have an idea in mind. Don't let your cousin Xue, who you like and agree with, be booked by others, and wait for your bloody disaster to pass. What!

So, Yu Xin also laughed. He clearly refused, but he was just kind enough to find a good job for his cousin-in-law. How Lian Er and Mrs. Xue figured it out had nothing to do with him!
Three years, he didn't believe that he still couldn't find a good one in three years. Even if he really couldn't find one, it was time for the two child adopters raised by the baby to make a career.

When the time comes, what can I say without just opening his mouth?

……

……

Yu Xin went to the Yamen in a happy mood, and Jia Lian also went to the office in a happy mood.

Mrs. Xue and Wang Xifeng were in even happier moods and had already begun discussing how to prepare a dowry for Baby Xue.

According to the social customs at this time, they would not mention the marriage to the person involved at all, not to mention that Yu Xin would not be married until three years later. In order to avoid embarrassment between Yu Xin and Xue Baobao and the difficulty between siblings, they would not tell Xue Baobao. .

In order to prevent any bad rumors from spreading among the people, they strictly ordered Jia Lian not to say a word or even a breath of air to be exposed.Therefore, Xue Baobao had no idea what Yu Xin had done. She was seizing the time to serve her garden of herbs, and she would have to entertain guests soon.

Unexpectedly, she hadn't finished it yet, so Mrs. Xue asked the maid to call her, and Mrs. Wang came with Wang Xiluan.

According to Beijing's practice, the daughter's family will continue to entertain relatives on the second day of the ceremony to express gratitude for their care and help during the ceremony.

Therefore, Wang Xifeng, Mr. and Mrs. Xue San did not leave at all yesterday.

It stands to reason that Mrs. Wang is Xue Baobao's biological aunt. Mrs. Xue would have greeted her yesterday and asked her to come to the theater and have a banquet early in the morning.

The two families had almost no contact due to various conflicts. Although Mrs. Wang heard yesterday that Queen Mother Yang was coming in person and hurried over, let alone Xue Baobao, Mrs. Xue did not expect to invite her to come today.

When the maid came to tell the time, Mrs. Xue had just received the confirmation from Wang Xifeng. She was so happy that she didn't even eat breakfast. She took Wang Xifeng and went to the warehouse to check the dowry to see what kind of dowry was prepared for Xue Baobao.

Although you are marrying from the back of the house to the front of the house, you must not be careless about the etiquette and dowry. Well, you also need to go to the temple to thank the Bodhisattva for his blessing.

He also told Wang Xifeng, "Remember to tell Lian'er and don't tell anyone. You will never be wrong if you listen to me. It's also the dignity of Sister Bao's daughter's family. Let Brother Xin know that I can't wait to marry my daughter." ".

Wang Xifeng was secretly amused and agreed repeatedly.

Just as he was talking, the maid came to report that Mrs. Wang had arrived with Wang Xiluan.

Mrs. Xue snorted, "I'm here uninvited now. When I brought Sister Bao to her house for the first time, I was already at her house, and Sister Luan didn't even want to leave the boudoir!"

The adopted son and son-in-law are naturally different. She thought that Yu Xin was only in his twenties now and had already reached the rank of commander of the third-rank Jinyi Guards. In time, he would definitely be able to catch up with his brother Wang Ziteng.

With an adopted son and son-in-law like Yu Xin here, she naturally had nothing to rely on her brother, especially her sister-in-law, so her attitude was naturally different.

Wang Xifeng advised, "Auntie has always been like that. Auntie, you don't care about the villain's faults, just forget about them.

We are all a family, how can there be any overnight feud?After all, now that my eldest cousin is here, my aunt will never dare to look down on her again."

Mrs. Xue was soft-hearted and always remembered how Wang Ziteng looked after her in the early years. After listening to Wang Xifeng's advice, she said angrily, "It's all for your uncle's sake, otherwise she wouldn't have been allowed in yesterday!"

Wang Xifeng knew that she had listened to the advice, so she smiled and complimented, "Auntie Zhenzhen, the prime minister, has a good heart and a kind and compassionate temper.

Otherwise, how could you have such a good son and daughter, and then get an excellent son-in-law soon? "

Mrs. Xue accepted the compliment with a smile, and then warned, "If your house is not busy, you might as well stay here for two more days.

Come with me and your sisters to the temple to offer incense and ask for a child, this is the most important thing."

Wang Xifeng agreed with a smile and took care of all the related travel matters.

Mrs.

I don’t know what my sister is thinking, but if I could have you as my nephew and wife, and be by my side to help me every day, let alone treat me harshly, it would never hurt enough.”

Wang Xifeng hugged Mrs. Xue's arm and said coquettishly, "Auntie loves me too now. Sister Bao was even jealous yesterday!"

Mrs. Xue laughed loudly, "Then let her be jealous. If she can be half as smart and capable as you, I will be satisfied!"

While talking to each other, the aunt and nephew went to the second door to greet Mrs. Wang. Unexpectedly, Jia's mother came with Jia Baoyu and Sanchun sisters.

Mrs. Xue could only welcome him in together, and ordered the maid to invite Mr. Xue San, Mrs. Xue San and Mrs. Zhen to come over.

Xue Pan heard that Yu Xin had gone to work early in the morning. He didn't even eat breakfast, so he hurried to the Yamen.

After everyone had bowed and exchanged greetings, Jia Mu asked, "Why don't you see Daiyu and the others?"

Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "I originally thought that no guests would come to the door today, but thinking about how hard they worked yesterday, I specially told them to sleep a little longer.

I just learned that the old lady and sister-in-law are here, and I have already sent someone to call them.

It will take a while for the girls to dress up before they come to pay their respects to the old lady."

Mother Jia smiled and nodded, "That's right, children should sleep more and eat more to grow well.

I told Baoyu and Yingchun the same way at home that my health is much more important than reading and writing."

It’s just my daughter’s house, Baoyu——

Mrs. Xue subconsciously took a look at Jia Baoyu and felt very disgusted. He couldn't carry it on his shoulders or lift it with his hands. He was afraid of being tired even when he got up early to study. What future could he possibly have?
I didn't realize that brother Xin was so capable, so he won the first prize in martial arts, became the commander of the Imperial Guard at the age of 24, and got up to practice sword practice every day at midnight!

During the New Year days when swords and guns were not allowed, he would practice boxing!

Even Pan'er followed suit, practicing in the summer and in the winter!
Fortunately, I listened to my daughter and didn't get into that "good match". Otherwise, if I really had to deal with such a son-in-law, I wouldn't even have time to cry!
My daughter is more knowledgeable!
Mother Jia did not expect that her simple words to call Mrs. Xue strengthened her belief in listening to Xue Baobao, and asked Wang Xiluan how old he was this year and what book he was reading.

Without saying a few words, Xue Baobao and three others arrived.

Although Mrs. Xue told them to sleep a little longer today, none of the three girls like to sleep in.

Zhen Yinglian got up early in the morning to study. Lin Daiyu, who slept together with Xue Baobao yesterday, also got up early in the morning to accompany Xue Baobao to take care of her garden full of treasures.

Since I didn't have time yesterday, I inevitably had more work today, so I was a little late.

After the three girls greeted Mrs. Xue, Jia Mu beckoned for Xue Baobao to come closer, took her hand and looked her up and down, and smiled and said to Mrs. The empress will be the guest of honor herself."

Mrs. Xue was always humble, so Jia Mu smiled and took off the jade bracelet on her wrist and put it on Xue Baobao's hand. "My old lady is old and is afraid of making trouble. She didn't come here yesterday. I thought it would be the same today." of.

This child's aunt is ill, so my wife can't help but care for the baby girl on her behalf.

This bracelet was originally brought back by my father when he went to war and was used as a dowry for me.

It's not worth much at all, but it's just an old thing, but it can keep the children safe.

Baby girl, wear it well, everything will be safe and smooth in the future."

Jia Mu will come in person today, so she has taken a look at Queen Mother Yang's reputation, but her work is much more comfortable than Mrs. Wang's.

When Mrs. Xue heard that she said that Lao Shihou got it during the war, she knew that it was absolutely worth a fortune. She was flattered and said that she did not dare to accept it.

Mother Jia forcefully put the bracelet on Xue Baobao's wrist and said with a smile, "No matter what you dare to do, we are all a family, and Bao Yatou is a lovely person, so there is no need for concubines to be outsiders."

Mrs. Xue hurriedly thanked Xue Baobao and ordered the theater troupe and the daughter-in-law to come. Then she said to Jia Baoyu, "Believe me, my brother and Pan'er have gone to the Yamen. Fortunately, my third uncle is here. I'll ask someone to send you off." Go to the front yard.

There is also a stage and a banquet set up in the front yard. It is more fun to have your third uncle with you than to watch a play with us."

Jia Baoyu has been wilting because he was hit by Baozhuang yesterday. Even Xue Baobao and others couldn't cheer him up. After listening to Mrs. I am listening to the opera with my ancestors and aunt."

Mrs. Xue asked and looked at Jia Mu. Jia Mu smiled and hugged Jia Baoyu into her arms. "Since he wants to be here, let him be here. It's cold today so he doesn't have to run around in the wind."

Mrs. Xue had no choice but to politely invite everyone to have snacks and tea.
