My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 232 Aunt Xue’s surprise

"Miss... Mrs.... something happened, something big happened!"

Baochai's maid Ying'er hurried into Aunt Xue's house.

At this time, Aunt Xue was embroidering things with Baochai in the house and chatting. When she saw Ying'er running in anxiously, she couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You little hooves, you are fifteen and you still have such a fiery temper. "

After Aunt Xue said this, Ying'er stopped and saluted the two of them: "Forgive me, madam, but it's true that I just heard a big news, so I hurriedly came to report to madam and young lady."

Baochai was also curious: "What on earth is going on? It's worth it for you to come here in such a hurry to repay God."

Ying'er said anxiously: "Miss, what I heard this time is really a big deal. Miss Lin is actually betrothed to someone."

"What……"

Aunt Xue and Baochai were both shocked when they heard the news.

Aunt Xue said in surprise: "No... what's going on? Didn't Daiyu follow Brother Yu back to Yangzhou? It's been several months and there's no letter back. Why is she suddenly betrothed to someone else?"

Baochai also looked at her suspiciously, "Ying'er, don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. You must know that the reputation of your daughter's family is the most important."

Seeing Ying'er's vow, Aunt Xue and Baochai looked at each other and couldn't help but believe it.

Seeing that the two women did not believe her words, Ying'er was so anxious that she almost swore.

In fact, even Jia Yu didn't know that he had already become a legend in Ning Rong's second house.

As the saying goes, a good daughter is like a mother, but Baochai's behavior was too abnormal, "No... it's very wrong. The abnormal blush on my girl's face when she mentioned Brother Yu's childhood proves that there is definitely something wrong."

After all, the titles of Ningrong's Second Mansion are reduced from generation to generation, and after five generations, the titles will no longer exist.

But then she rolled her eyes, suddenly thought of something, and stood up immediately: "Daughter, I have something to discuss with your aunt. Please sit down while I go over first."

She could only say aggrievedly: "Well, people said it's not okay... Actually, Miss Lin is betrothed to no one else, but Uncle Yu, the husband of the eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion!"

"No matter how arrogant my daughter is, she doesn't dare to criticize Sister Lin's marriage. Besides, she is betrothed to a young man like Brother Yu who is talented and knows how to treat girls well."

Now when I heard that Daiyu, who had been with her day and night during this period, and who was as close as a sister, actually became Jia Yu's wife, my mood, which was originally as calm as lake water, suddenly became a little boiling.

"What?"

"If mother has something to do, please come over." Baochai did not doubt that he was there and nodded to show that he knew.

As a commoner, less than two years after arriving in Shenjing, he squeezed into the circle of nobles and became a hereditary earl. This honor is even more rare than that of Ning Rong's second mansion. .

Baochai then asked out of curiosity: "Do you know who Sister Lin is betrothed to?"

It turned out that Aunt Xue couldn't help but slapped Ying'er's perky little buttocks and scolded her: "You're such a little hooves, you're already showing off, so hurry up and tell me."

Seeing Yuan Baochai's distracted look, Aunt Xue couldn't help but murmur in her heart. She, as a mother, knows best what her daughter is like. She is usually considerate and considerate, and she is also very generous. She has always been pampering and unfazed. Why did she get distracted today after hearing that Daiyu was betrothed to Brother Yu?

Thinking of this, she looked at her daughter with some doubts and asked tentatively: "Daughter, do you have any thoughts about Daiyu being betrothed to Brother Yu, or do you dislike them?"

Speaking of this, Ying'er couldn't help but reveal a mysterious smile on her face. She pretended to be mysterious behind her hands and said, "Madam, Miss, you can't guess who Miss Lin is betrothed to?"

Ying'er said aggrievedly: "Madam, please listen to what I have to say first. Uncle Yu did not marry Miss Lin in his current capacity, but asked Miss Lin to be his concurrent wife."

"A concurrent wife?"

Seeing her baby girl in a daze, Aunt Xue stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her, "Baby girl, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?"

Speaking of this, Baochai showed a hint of envy in his eyes.

Baochai was startled and waved her hands quickly.

Although his Earl's Mansion is much lower than the Duke's Mansion of Ning and Rong, this title is an iron hat title. As long as Daxia does not fall, his title will be passed down forever. This is the most powerful thing. of.

"I really didn't lie to you!"

"Madam, miss, what I said is absolutely true, and now it has been spread throughout the house.

However, Aunt Xue also understood that if she asked now, she might arouse her daughter's vigilance and disgust, so she smiled lightly and stopped asking.

Jia Yu is so outstanding that she will naturally attract the attention of many girls.

After Aunt Xue finished speaking, she hurriedly left with her maid Tongxi. Only Baochai and her maid Ying'er were left in the room, and the room suddenly fell into silence.

At this point, Baochai stopped and thought thoughtfully: "Since Brother Yu allows Sister Lin to be his concurrent wife, it must be because of his great merits, otherwise the Holy Spirit will not make an exception and send down a favor."

After Baochai came to her senses, she smiled sheepishly: "Mom, my daughter was lost in thought just now and didn't hear what you said."

Not only the old lady, but also the second wife and the second young lady (Wang Xifeng) were also present. How could it be wrong? "

The two of them naturally knew about the dual selection. Baochai said doubtfully: "Although our dynasty has the custom of dual selection, it is not easy to choose both. You must either obtain permission from the Ministry of Rites, or you need an edict from your majesty. Brother Yu how……"

The third young lady of Rong Mansion came to see the old lady today. She told the old lady herself.

"What...no, no, absolutely not."

Hearing what Baochai said, Aunt Xue not only was not relieved, but became more and more vigilant.

"Oh...nothing."

As a young girl with the first love, Baochai is no exception. Sometimes she even wonders, if she was the first to meet Jia Yu, would the Mrs. Dingyuan Bo be her now?

However, she only dared to have this kind of sweet dream late at night when no one was around. Even if she thought about it occasionally, she would feel ashamed, and then secretly cursed herself for being shameless.

Aunt Xue used quite a lot of force, and Ying'er let out a cry of pain when she was slapped.

Seeing Baochai's silence, Ying'er tried to ask: "Miss, it's still early, why don't you take a break first?"

Aunt Xue exclaimed and then scolded: "Absurd, how is this possible? How can a man marry two wives in the world?

And now that the eldest girl is pregnant with Liujia and about to give birth, how can Brother Yu possibly marry her? "

"Snapped!"

Aunt Xue and Baochai both exclaimed.

Baochai has always had the habit of taking a nap, and now that it was noon, he yawned reflexively after hearing this.

"Okay then, I'll take a nap first."

Baochai stood up and walked to the room inside. She came to Aunt Xue's bed and sat down. She took off her embroidered shoes, revealing a pair of delicate and delicate feet. After getting into bed, she started to take a nap...

On an official road leading to the northwest, a team as far as the eye could see was walking slowly along the official road. In the middle of this team were thousands of large vehicles that could not be reached as far as the eye could see.

This team was Jia Yu, who was ordered to escort Yin Liang back to Beijing, and his Huben camp. It's just that when I came here, I took a boat, but when I went back, I could only take the land route.

After all, 56 million taels of silver was too much. Yangzhou could not find so many ships at one time, and although the water route was comfortable, it was far less safe than the land route, so Jia Yu decided to take the land route.

Thousands of carts filled with silver were swaying on the official road, surrounded by more than 10,000 Huben battalion troops, and everyone was in high spirits.

After all, everyone in the Huben camp now knows what they are transporting. If something goes wrong with the money, everyone from Jia Yu to Xiao Bing will be in trouble.

In the center of the army was driving a special cart, which was as big as a later minibus.

Sitting in this cart were Daiyu, Xueyan and Zicuckoo.

Of course, there were more than a dozen strong women and wives around the cart who were responsible for serving her.

Not only that, there were hundreds of vehicles that did not belong to the imperial court mixed in these carts, and these vehicles were filled with the silver that Lin Ruhai entrusted Jia Yu to help him bring back to Shenjing.

It is said that in three years, the magistrate can earn one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. Even though Lin Ruhai did not deliberately try to be greedy, in his position, it was impossible not to touch any money.

There is this passage in the original work of "Red Mansions": With the defeat of Rongguo Mansion, the capital chain in the mansion was almost broken.

It just so happened that in order to organize Jia Mu's birthday, all the remaining silver in the family was exhausted.

It happened that the eunuch from the palace came to Rongguo Mansion to beat the autumn breeze. Jia Lian became anxious and said to Wang Xifeng: "Yesterday, eunuch Zhou came and asked for a thousand taels of silver. I was a little slow to respond, and he felt uncomfortable.

There will be many ways to offend people in the future. It would be great if I could make another three to two million dollars in a while. "

Jia Yu believes that the word "Zai" is very important. This unexplained property should be the property of the Lin family. According to the description of the work, the only chance for Rongguo Mansion to obtain such a huge property is when Lin Ruhai dies. Incorporate.

After all, four generations of the Lin family had accumulated it over several generations, plus Lin Ruhai had been the salt patrol censor in Yangzhou for ten years. It was not outrageous to be able to accumulate several million taels of silver.

And now, this matter has been confirmed.

Just before Jia Yu left Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai handed the money to him and asked him to take the money to Shenjing.

After all, Lin Ruhai is not stupid. To safely transport millions of taels of silver to Shenjing, the manpower and material resources required are too great, and the transaction slip leaked the news... Haha... I'm afraid all the thieves and bandits in Daxia will do it. Take advantage of the situation.

It's fine now. My son-in-law has to escort a huge sum of 56 million taels back to Shenjing. It's just a matter of course for me to ask my son-in-law to do a favor and bring it back.

"Uncle Yu..."

Just as Jia Yu was looking at the surrounding scenery, a voice called him from the side.

He turned around and saw Zijuan leaning her head out from the window of the cart and waving to him.

Jia Yu rode over and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zijuan pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Uncle Yu, the lady asked you to get in the car. She has something to tell you."

"Have something to say?"

Jia Yu looked around and saw that he was surrounded by his own soldiers, so he dismounted and handed the horse to Zhao Qiubai, the captain of the soldiers at the side, while he got into the cart.

This is a large and luxuriously decorated car. There is not only a small bed inside, but also a coffee table and several brocade stools. The layout is quite comfortable and can relieve fatigue to the greatest extent.

As soon as Jia Yu entered the car, she saw a pair of bright star-like eyes looking at her unblinkingly.

The owner of these bright star eyes is Daiyu.

When she saw Jia Yu getting on the car, although there was a trace of unconcealable joy in her eyes, she raised her long, snow-white neck and pretended to be displeased and said: "Hey... isn't this our Lord Jia? Why are you willing to board the little girl's residence?"

"Hmm...what's going on?"

Jia Yu was stunned for a moment and touched the back of his head, as if he was confused as if he were two feet tall.

It seems that I have done nothing wrong, so why are I so angry?

She asked tentatively: "Yu'er, what's wrong with you?"

Daiyu snorted lightly, gave him a cute look and said nothing.

Now Jia Yu was even more confused. Xue Yan on the side couldn't help laughing and said: "Uncle Yu, have you forgotten the promise you made to our girl?"

"What did I promise...oh...you mean this..."

When Jia Yu heard it, she realized that our Daiyu wanted to hear the story.

The story about the Condor Hero costume was finished a few days ago. I was supposed to continue talking about the next film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but I have been busy these days and finally got some free time yesterday. I originally promised Dai Yu started talking about the divine eagle today, and never wanted to be forgotten by him. This is not... being collected for debts.

Thinking of this, Jia Yu laughed, "What did I think it was? It turned out to be the Legend of the Condor Heroes. This is easy to handle, I'll start talking about it now!"

But, I have a temper, that is, I never tell stories to people who pout, because it also means that they don’t like my books. In this case, why should I use my hot face to stick to other people’s cold buttocks? You think so? "

When Daiyu heard this, she became anxious, her little face turned red, she glared at Jia Yujiao and shouted: "You are talking nonsense... When did I ask you to put your hot face on someone else's... someone else's..."

After all, she is a lady who has read a lot of poems and books. Even if she was angry, she did not say two indecent words about her buttocks.

Seeing that Daiyu was anxious, Jia Yu smiled, sat down opposite her, and held one of her little hands.

Daiyu was startled and quickly slapped him with her other hand. Unexpectedly, even this hand fell into the opponent's clutches.

After struggling hard for a few times and finding that he couldn't break free, he rolled his eyes at him bitterly and cursed: "Scoundrel!" Then he stopped struggling.

Jia Yu pretended to scold Zicuckoo who was watching the fun: "Have you sharpened your eyesight? Don't you know that storytelling consumes your tongue? Why don't you quickly pour me a cup of tea?"

Zicuckoo was not angry, and said "Yes!" with a smile, and then stood up to pour him tea.

Jia Yu took a sip of tea, cleared her throat, and then said:

"The Yue girl is picking lotuses by the autumn water, her narrow sleeves are lightly ruffled, revealing her double gold necklace.

Picking flowers according to the shadow looks like the face, and the hearts are only in turmoil.

It was a stormy night at Jichixitou, the fog was heavy and the smoke was light, and the companion who came when he came was nowhere to be found.

The faint sound of singing returns to the distant shore, and the sadness of separation leads to the south bank of the river. "

As Jia Yu began to speak, the attention of the three masters and servants of Daiyu was immediately attracted...
