Chapter 25 Red Mansion 23
All the unmarried girls have left - well, the maids don't count.

Only then did Zhang tell Jia Shi and Wang about Jia Zhen's mischief with her two wives and sisters.

When Mrs. Wang heard that Jia Zhen pushed the woman she was tired of playing with to her nephew, she was so angry that she turned around the beads in her hand.

"Young Master Liu, the beating was too gentle." Mrs. Wang said, "Zhen'er should be taught more lessons."

Jia Shishi nodded: "It's a pity that his father has passed away and no one can take care of him anymore."

Although Jia Zheng and Jia She are Jia Zhen's elders, they cannot control Jia Zhen.

Jia Zhen is the head of Ningguo Mansion, not from Rongguo Mansion, and she does not accept the control of people from Rongguo Mansion at all.

Jia Shi even regretted working with Jia Zhen to help Prince Yizhong.

Can someone with a character like Jia Zhen achieve anything?
After experiencing the incident with Sanjie You, Mother Liu felt that Liu Xianglian's marriage should be settled as soon as possible to prevent him from being missed by other unscrupulous women.

But Liu Xianglian promised that he would marry a stunning woman, and if she was not good-looking, he would not want her.

Mother Liu has a big head, how can there be so many stunning beauties in the world?

Liu Jiaying: "The aunts in Rongguo Mansion are all stunning."

Of course Mother Liu knew that the girls from the Jia family were good-looking.

But Jia Yuanchun is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family, and it is impossible for the Jia family to marry another girl into the Liu family.

Liu Jiaying: "I know a girl who is stunningly beautiful and very talented, comparable to Aunt Lin."

Mother Liu became interested.

Mother Liu had met Lin Daiyu and knew how good-looking Lin Daiyu was and how talented she was.

No serious girl from the Jia family can match Lin Daiyu, and only Xue Baochai, a girl from the Xue family, can rival her.

But the Xue family girl has already entered the palace.

Jia Yuanchun asked his daughter: "What kind of beauties do you know, little girl?"

Liu Jiaying said loudly: "She is really beautiful. Mom, you have seen her before."

Jia Yuanchun was confused: "Have I seen it?"

Liu Jiaying: "Yes, it's Xue Baoqin, the second girl of the Xue family! My ancestor liked the second girl Xue very much, and even asked my grandmother to adopt her as my goddaughter."

Jia Yuanchun suddenly realized: "Bao Qin is indeed good-looking, talented and has extraordinary knowledge."

Mother Liu was moved.

If the second girl of the Xue family is really as good as Jia Yuanchun said, she can be married to her younger son.

They don't care that Miss Xue comes from a merchant family.

As long as the girl herself has a good character and good education, it is enough.

Moreover, the dowry for a girl from a merchant family is very generous.

The younger son can only get [-]% of the family property after the family is divided, so it would be better to marry a wife with a generous dowry.

Just as Liu's mother was about to ask whether to find a matchmaker to go to the Xue family to propose marriage, Jia Yuanchun said, "But sister Baoqin is already engaged."

Mother Liu was disappointed.

Liu Jiaying: "But I heard that the family who was engaged to Aunt Xue didn't want to fulfill the engagement at all."

Jia Yuanchun: "Did Ji Qiu say it again?"

Liu Jiaying: "No, I heard it from passers-by when I went out to buy candied haws. Those two people seemed to be servants of the Mei Hanlin family. Oh, Mei Hanlin is the head of the family who was engaged to the Xue family." Jia Yuanchun frowned. : "The Mei family wants to regret their marriage? Why haven't I heard from the Xue family?"

Liu Jiaying: "It's possible that the Xue family doesn't know either."

Mother Liu: "The man wants to regret the engagement but doesn't tell the woman. Is he trying to drag the woman down so that she can't wait any longer and breaks off the engagement?"

Liu Jiaying gave Liu's mother a thumbs up: "Grandma guessed it right."

Jia Yuanchun thought for a while, then asked Baoqin to call Ji Qiu, and asked Ji Qiu to inquire about Mei Hanlin's family.

Baoqin was her adopted sister after all, so she couldn't be bullied.

Two days later, Ji Qiu told the women of the Liu family what he had learned.

"Then the Mei family is indeed planning to use delaying methods to make the Xue family voluntarily cancel the engagement. The family has already packed their luggage and is preparing to leave the capital. Master Mei has sought an official position abroad."

"The marriage between the Mei family and the Xue family was decided when Mr. Mei had not passed the Jinshi examination. At that time, Mr. Xue rescued Mr. Mei, who was in despair, and sponsored Mr. Mei to go to Beijing to take the exam. Mr. Mei was grateful to the Xue family for saving his life. Then the marriage between my son and Miss Xue was decided."

"The person who was most opposed to this marriage was Mrs. Mei. She felt that her family was from an official family and Miss Xue Er was just a girl from a merchant family and was not worthy of her own son, so she came up with the idea of ​​dragging Miss Xue Er with her family. Youth cannot be delayed, but a few years later for a man to get married does not have much impact.”

"Lord Mei just didn't object to the idea."

"Ha." Jia Yuanchun sneered, "If you don't object, you agree. What an ungrateful thing."

Liu's mother also despises the Mei family.

This is what it means to be a bitch and still build a memorial arch.

After becoming rich, he treated his savior's daughter like this. He was like a wolf with blank eyes!

Ji Qiu continued to talk about how disgusting the Mei family is: "Then Mr. Mei already has a concubine's eldest son, who is the niece of Mrs. Mei's natal family. Mrs. Mei made the decision to make her niece her son's second wife. But in this matter, apart from the Mei family and Mrs. Mei’s natal family has not been announced to the public. Mrs. Mei also wants to marry her son a daughter-in-law of noble birth, who will support Master Mei and Mr. Mei.”

Mother Liu and Jia Yuanchun were really disgusted.

Mother Liu: "No wonder Mrs. Mei is not in a hurry for her son to get married. It turns out she already has a grandson in her arms."

Jia Yuanchun said disgustedly: "You still want to marry a noble daughter-in-law? Just dream. If there is a family with a good family background, how can they find relatives in the Mei family? Daughters are all married high, how can they marry low?"

Liu Jiaying encouraged: "Let's tell the Xue family about the Mei family's plan, and ask the Xue family to cancel the engagement as soon as possible, and then make an engagement to the second uncle."

Jia Yuanchun pressed his daughter's head and said, "Don't be ridiculous."

Liu Jiaying wrinkled her little nose: "I'm not messing around. If I don't quickly choose Aunt Xue for my second uncle, are we still going to watch him being coveted by other women?"

Mother Liu and Jia Yuanchun looked at each other.

Jia Yuanchun: "We adults will handle this matter, just leave it alone, little girl."

"Why is this like this? I have provided you with information. You cannot burn bridges by crossing the river." Liu Jiaying shouted angrily.

Jia Yuanchun patted her head: "You've learned idioms well, keep working hard."

Liu Jiaying: "..."

In the evening, Jia Yuanchun told Liu Piao about Xue Baoqin and the Mei family, and told Liu's mother and her plans.

Upon hearing this, Liu Heng knew that it was his daughter who had traveled through time and space.

But this arrangement is not bad. Xue Baoqin has a good friend and is very talented, which is very suitable for his younger brother who likes good colors.

Liu Heng: "I'll mention this to your eldest brother first, and ask your eldest brother to remind the Xue family."

Jia Yuanchun sighed: "The book says, 'For every dog-slaughterer who is righteous, there will be more dishonest scholars.' I didn't believe it at first, but first Jia Yucun and then Mei Hanlin were ungrateful, so I have to believe it." ”
