Chapter 153: Finding the Golden Thread

When Jia Wei and Baochai arrived, they could not avoid being attacked by the jealous Daiyu.

After coming out of the study, Baochai had not yet recovered from her shock and ignored Daiyu. After leaving Jia Wei and reuniting with the other girls, she was thinking about it again...

Seeing this, Daiyu frowned, feeling that something was happening between the two of them, but she couldn't intervene in the current situation, so she sulked in secret and ignored Jia Wei.

Jia Wei brought the group of golden hairpins into the courtyard, admired them for a while, and then went to Yuanchun's courtyard, where he had a pleasant dinner.

Then he ordered the maids to prepare the sedan chair and send the girls back to the West Mansion. Only then did Jia Wei have some free time and was quite tempted to go find Zhou Zhiruo...

On the other hand, Jia's mother, having received Jia Yu's approval, was also anxious to finalize the matter. In the afternoon, she took Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng, and Li Gongcai to Lixiang Court to invite Aunt Xue to come and settle the matter.

When they arrived at the Pear Fragrance Courtyard, Grandmother Jia said that she had been thinking about the situation here and came to take a look. Aunt Xue was very grateful and told her about Baochai and the girls going to the East Palace. Grandmother Jia then dragged the story to Jia Yu, and the sisters-in-law Wang and Li helped.

Only Mrs. Wang spoke little, just smiled and looked very uncomfortable.

Mrs. Wang felt uncomfortable when she thought that her favorite Baochai was going to get together with Jia Wei, but she didn't dare to show her displeasure in front of Lady Jia.

I can only comfort myself by helping Baoyu find a wife who is better than Baochai. I absolutely cannot do what Grandmother Jia wants and let Baoyu marry Daiyu, the sickly daughter of Jia Min...

After drinking tea for a while, Wang Xifeng said, "The old lady came here to visit my aunt and to tell me something important. I would like to ask my aunt to come over there to discuss it."

Aunt Xue had no choice but to agree. Then they chatted for a while before going back.

In the evening, when Jia Yu led the golden hairpins to a banquet, Aunt Xue came to Rongqing Hall to meet Grandmother Jia. Mrs. Wang said she was not feeling well and did not come.

After drinking tea, Grandmother Jia talked about Xue Pan. Aunt Xue said that Xue Pan had been doing well in the Jia family's private school recently.

Grandmother Jia said, "We must find a way to resolve Pan'er's case. Beating the scholar to a cripple is no small matter."

Aunt Xue sighed and said, "Well, the case is in the Ministry of Justice. Maybe the Inspectorate has a copy of it. Unless it's leaked, otherwise..."

The Xue family has no solution to the problem that even the current Rongguo Mansion cannot solve.

Grandmother Jia looked at Feng Jie'er, who quickly laughed and said, "Aunt is confused. Isn't there a person in the east who knows everything?"

Aunt Xue sighed and said, "How can I ask that person to help me for no reason? I already troubled him the last time Pan'er was imprisoned..."

Wang Xifeng immediately smiled and said, "The old lady has a great thing to offer. If Aunt accepts, Pan'er's criminal record will not be a big deal at all."

Aunt Xue's breath quickened, and she vaguely guessed something...

Then I heard Grandmother Jia say, "Auntie knows that Brother Yu's parents died early, and he only has an uncle above him, who still doesn't care about worldly affairs. He is old and wants to get married, so I have to take care of it."

At this point, Aunt Xue didn't know what was going on. She just thought that what Feng girl said was right, it was really a great thing!

"Brother Yi is a man of his own ideas, and he is very careful about the major events in his life. Don't worry about my concubine laughing at you. I told him about the eldest daughter of the Niu family in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and my nephew's granddaughter, but he rejected them all. But when I mentioned my concubine's family, he readily agreed."

Aunt Xue couldn't hide her joy when she heard this. She thought that Baochai had married Jia Wei. Not to mention Xue Pan's criminal record, the Xue family would be able to prosper for decades...

After suppressing her smile, she said in a reserved manner, "That's true. I think that Er Ge'er is a very good kid. But we still need to think about it carefully."

Wang Xifeng added: "What the old lady means is that it's almost the end of the year, and there's still the first month after the New Year. Since the concubine is already married, it would be better to marry her this year. The sooner it is, the sooner everyone can feel at ease." After Aunt Xue finished her reserve, she also knew that a good marriage was rare. She was more afraid of unexpected events than Lady Jia, so she agreed immediately.

This time it was agreed that Sister Feng and her husband would be the matchmakers. The host and the guests were all very happy, and Aunt Xue went to Lady Wang's room again, and the sisters chatted a little.

Although Mrs. Wang was still angry, her attitude had changed. She was only thinking about how to use the relationship between her and her sisters to get Jia Wei to take better care of Baoyu, and her attitude was quite enthusiastic.

Aunt Xue returned to Lixiangyuan. Baochai had not come back yet, but Xue Pan had already returned to his room, reeking of alcohol.

Aunt Xue called Xue Pan over and told him what Rong Qingtang had said in detail, and said, "I have already agreed."

Xue Pan heard this and shouted excitedly: "Why is it that bastard?!"

After that, he sighed and shook his head: "He is a capable man. Mom did a good job. It is his blessing that my sister is so kind. I just wait until he becomes my brother-in-law and give him a few glasses of wine, and then he will calm down. By the way, what does my sister say?"

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "Your sister went to the East Mansion with the girl from the West Mansion and has not returned yet. She is a girl and has always been filial and polite. She knows that I have agreed, so she has nothing to say."

Xue Pan said "yes" and was about to go to bed. Aunt Xue said, "Tomorrow you go to Wang's house and tell your uncle. Then you can get the wedding invitation card and fill in Bao's birth character. Then you can personally send it to your second brother Lian. Then you can ask for the date of the wedding ceremony. You can prepare it well."

"Okay." Xue Pan went out and saw Baochai coming back from outside, so he said, "Sister, come in quickly. Mom has something good to tell you."

Baochai went in immediately, and Aunt Xue pulled her along, looking left and right, and then she thought of what Grandmother Jia said, and she was very pleased. The Niu family girl had never seen it, so she didn't know that although the old lady's nephew's granddaughter was good, she was still better than her daughter.

This confused Baochai, so she asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Today the old lady asked me to come over and told you about a marriage..."

Baochai's body suddenly stiffened, her head buzzed, and she held her breath waiting for Aunt Xue to continue. Ying'er beside her was also dumbfounded.

"It's Brother Yu from the East Mansion." Aunt Xue said.

Baochai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Aunt Xue blankly again.

"I have already agreed to your marriage. The old lady said that the ceremony will be held this month, and you will be married to the East Palace before the New Year..."

Later, Aunt Xue continued to talk a lot, talking about the marriage, Jia Wei, and Baochai's childhood.

As Aunt Xue laughed, she began to wipe away her tears, but Baochai did not hear what she said at all. Her mind was blank, and only one thought came to her mind:
"I'm going to marry my second brother?"

In this era, people are faithful to their spouse and once married, it lasts a lifetime.

It is not easy to marry a husband of your dreams, as it is arranged by your parents and the matchmaker.

It took her a long time to react, and she blushed and said, "It's all up to mom..."

Then Baochai thought of Jia Wei, the two pieces of cloth, and what he had said today in the study when he asked Ying'er to make a brocade.

Baochai went back to her room. Ying'er was laughing beside her. She said:
"Go find the golden thread..."
