I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 166 If I marry Congge'er as a concubine, it would be
Hearing Aunt Xue's question, Aunt Mei couldn't help but said in distress: "Not now! Sister, you know that I won't go out easily."

"I don't even know a few people. How can it be that easy to find a suitable marriage for Cong?"

"My sister has a huge family and knows a lot of people. Is there anyone suitable?"

"We are not picky. As long as the family background is not too bad and the girl is dignified and virtuous, it's fine."

Although Aunt Xue had roughly guessed this in her heart, she still couldn't help feeling happy after hearing what Aunt Mei said.

It’s a good thing that Congge hasn’t found a suitable marriage. The Xue family may still have a chance.

Thinking of this, Aunt Xue hurriedly said, "Sister, I do have someone who is very suitable."

"This girl is not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also dignified, virtuous, generous and decent. She is also about the same age as Cong. If my sister sees her, she will definitely like her."

"It's just that their family is a merchant family, but they are extremely wealthy and have a very good family tradition."

Of course, Aunt Xue would not introduce herself right away, as this would not only make her look down upon, but if Aunt Mei refused, it would be awkward for both of them and it would be difficult for them to remain friends in the future.

Therefore, Aunt Xue made an excuse euphemistically.

When Aunt Mei heard this, she was very puzzled.

Because just a few months ago, Xue Pan also mentioned this girl, so it should be the same person.

But Xue Pan was an unreliable person. He only mentioned it once and then there was no further news. We couldn’t even see him anymore.

Now that Aunt Xue brought it up again, Aunt Mei roughly understood.

This family probably didn't take a liking to their family background before, but now that Cong'er has inherited the title of Ningguo Mansion, they have brought up the old matter again.

No wonder Sister Xue would take the initiative to ask about Cong'er's marriage situation.

It’s just that this is one time and that is another time.

Now that Cong'er has inherited the title of Ningguo Mansion, Aunt Mei has begun to dislike his family background.

Therefore, Aunt Mei couldn't help but say, "Sister, if you say so, this girl must be very good."

"But Brother Cong will definitely take part in the provincial examination next year. Our family does not ask for wealth from his wife, but if we can find a girl from a scholarly family, that would be great."

"If you don't mind the girl that my sister mentioned, it would be fine if she could become Cong'er's concubine."

After hearing what Aunt Mei said, Aunt Xue felt extremely upset.

She originally refused to be a proper wife, and now she has fallen to the point of becoming a concubine?

Although the Xue family was just a merchant family, there was absolutely no reason for their legitimate daughter to be someone's concubine.

I regretted listening to Pan'er's words, which made Baoya miss this good marriage.

Thinking of this, Aunt Xue said helplessly: "Sister, I'm afraid the girl in their family would not be willing to be a concubine. It can only be said that they are not destined to be together."

Aunt Mei couldn't help but say, "What a pity."

After saying this, Aunt Xue felt worried and lacked some energy.

The two talked for a while, and then Aunt Xue stood up and said goodbye.

Aunt Mei personally sent her out.

When she came back, Aunt Mei suddenly thought that the girl that Aunt Xue had just mentioned might be their precious girl.

Thinking back to the situation when Xue Pan first mentioned it, Aunt Mei couldn't help but think that it was more and more likely.

If she is really a precious girl, it is not impossible to marry her as the principal wife.

Although the Xue family is also a merchant family, it is incomparable to other families.

Thinking of this, Aunt Mei couldn't help but feel moved.

I was thinking, should I try to test Aunt Xue with words next time I see her?
Aunt Mei couldn't help but think that the maid of the Lin family seemed to be quite good as well.

And as early as when she was in Rongguo Mansion, this girl Lin often came to talk to Congge. Although Lin was a little weak, it was not a big deal.

In fact, the main reason was that Lin Daiyu practiced Ba Duan Jin, which made her body stronger than before and not as weak as before.

Moreover, the Lin family’s ancestors were marquises, and their family was steeped in poetry and literature. His father had even won the third place in the imperial examination. How noble were they?
Compared with Xue Baochai, Aunt Mei likes Lin Daiyu more.

It would be great if I could marry Miss Lin as my principal wife and Miss Bao as my concubine in the future.

Thinking of this, Aunt Mei couldn't help laughing.

Both girls are excellent, and I will be satisfied no matter which one I marry.

I even dream of marrying both of them. This is really too greedy.

Given the status of the Xue family, how could his legitimate daughter be someone else's concubine?
……

When Jia Cong was reading in the study, Xue Da suddenly came in and reported:

"Third Master, the maid in Grandma Xiaorong's room said that Grandma Xiaorong is sick again, and it seems that she is seriously ill. Do you want to ask the imperial physician to come and see her?"

Qin Keqing fell ill again?

After hearing the news, Jia Cong was speechless.

Qin Keqing was a person with many worries. She liked to keep everything in her heart and refused to speak out.

The reason she fell ill this time was probably partly because she was exhausted from mourning for Jia Zhen and Jia Rong.

Secondly, it is still a psychological problem, probably because I was scared by myself.

I'm just concerned about your health. Have I ever thought about how I will treat you?

Heart disease needs to be treated. Qin Keqing's illness probably requires me to help her resolve it.

Thinking of this, Jia Cong couldn't help but say, "Don't go get the imperial physician yet. I'll go over and take a look at the situation first."

Recently, Jia Cong's medical skills have improved.

Although the progress is much smaller than before.

But it was probably enough to treat Qin Keqing.

Soon, Jia Cong arrived at Qin Keqing's courtyard.

After the report was made, Qin Keqing came out in person to greet them shortly after, sound sick.

Jia Cong couldn't help but frown and said, "Mr. Rong, you are sick, why did you come out to greet them in person?"

"I think you have typhoid fever. Don't catch a cold outside. You'll get sicker than you need to. Come inside and talk."

Qin Keqing nodded and said, "Uncle, please come in."

Jia Cong nodded and followed Qin Keqing into the main room.

After the two of them sat down, Jia Cong couldn't help but say, "Mr. Rong, I see that you are seriously ill. I'll feel your pulse and prescribe a prescription for you to try."

After hearing what Jia Cong said, Qin Keqing and Baozhu couldn't help but look at Jia Cong.

Jia Cong said helplessly: "Why are you looking at me like that? Have you forgotten the prescription I gave you?"

"I also know some medical skills, and I'm probably not much worse than the imperial physician. I may not be able to cure difficult and complicated diseases, but I should be able to treat these common diseases without any problem."

Hearing this, Qin Keqing lowered her head and said shyly, "Then I'll trouble you, uncle."

Jia Cong nodded and walked to sit in front of Qin Keqing.

Baozhu hurriedly took out a handkerchief and placed it on the table.
