The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 84

Mrs. Wang spent half a cup of tea thinking about it before turning this string in her mind.It was indeed Xue Baoqin that Jia Mu was talking about, not Xue Baochai.

"Did the old lady make a mistake? Baoqin has already been betrothed to the son of Mei Hanlin's family, how is it possible?" Mrs. Wang teased that the old woman was really old, and she didn't even remember what her aunt said at the time.

Jia's mother sneered: "I don't know what useful news you heard when you were a guest at the host's house and the west's birthday. Even I, who has been living in the inner house for a long time and ignores everything, knows that the princess of Xiping has taken a fancy to Mei Hanlin's son. , intending to become good friends with Qin and Jin with their family!"

Princess Xiping is the eldest daughter of the Empress Dowager's brother, she has a hot temper since she was a child, Xiaozong mostly turned a blind eye to her because she was the niece of his aunt, and did not care about her.Princess Xiping gave birth to a daughter who happened to be seventeen years old, but she has never married in her boudoir.

Mrs. Wang wiped off her cold sweat: "Old lady, don't you hear me wrong? The young lady of Xiping County's family is three years older than the young master of Mei Hanlin's family! Besides, the Mei family and the Xue family have tokens. Are they still trying to renege on the marriage?"

Mother Jia looked at her daughter-in-law: "What kind of token is that, it's just a broken fan! If the Mei family had planned to get married, the Mei family should have sent someone to pay their respects the day after Baoqin's brother and sister came to Beijing. But you Look, it's been a few months, and there's no news from Mei's family. It's clear that she doesn't like this marriage in her heart. Girls are no better than boys, and they can't afford it because of their age. I think Baoqin's child is good in everything, Not to mention her appearance, she has a delicate temperament, and when she comes to the empress, she will only obey her in everything, and she will never have any wrong thoughts."

Seeing Mrs. Wang's silence, Jia Mu sighed softly: "In the final analysis, everything is for your mother. When Baoqin is young, if you win over the emperor, the emperor will be able to think of Fengzao Palace and miss our mother's good son." .You are the biological mother of the empress, you can't be messed up right now!"

It's not that Mrs. Wang doesn't like Xue Baoqin, it's just that she has a lot of prejudice against Jia Mu in her heart. After being a mother-in-law's daughter-in-law for decades, Mrs. Wang will feel uncomfortable and refute everything Jia Mu ordered.

"The old lady's painstaking daughter-in-law understands that it's just the girls in the family who choose Baoqin."

"It's not that I demeaned our family's girl. The three of them may not be able to catch up with Baoqin alone. Besides, I don't have to insist on her. I'm not going to discuss it with you now! I will go to the palace next month to pay my respects to my mother. You should think about it." Choose someone, and whether you succeed or not depends on your mother's orders."

Seeing that Jia's mother was determined, Mrs. Wang could only put the matter aside.Youshi and the sick Li Wan had been waiting outside the courtyard for a long time. They had arranged for their servants to set up a banquet in the Dahua Hall of the Xingqin Villa in the Grand View Garden. Serve on foot.

The flower hall was covered with lanterns of various colors. All the sons, nephews, grandchildren and daughters-in-law of the Ningrong Second Mansion were present, and there was another small show. Jiamu and everyone enjoyed the lanterns and wine, singing and singing, and the splendid curtains. No one dared to ask. Madam Xing's whereabouts.

Aunt Li and Aunt Xue are foreigners, and their status is much higher, so they sat on two seats. On the east side was an arhat couch. The four of Yun, Sanchun, Xue Baochai, and Li's sisters are still behind.

Baoqin is the closest to Jiamu. Whenever there are fresh fruits coming up, she will show them to Jiamu first. If she likes them, she will stay and taste them, and the rest will be given to everyone.

The three-in-one-five glass fringe lights hanging on the pillars on both sides can condense the brilliance, and the Xue Baoqin below is particularly dazzling.

Jia Lan's mother, Jia Chang's daughter-in-law, Jia Ling's elder sister, etc. in the whole family are all offshoots of the Rongguo Mansion who only visit the Rongguo Mansion during the New Year's Eve. They don't know who the charming little girl beside Jia Mu , but seeing Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu coming to the back, I guessed that she was a lady from the Duke's family, or the niece and granddaughter of Jia's mother's close relative.

Mrs. Wang silently took her mother-in-law's love for Xue Baoqin into her eyes. After serving the soup for a while, she offered Yuanxiao. Mrs. Wang ate half of it without knowing the taste. Fireworks were ignited in the garden, and Jia's mother was in high spirits. Mrs. Wang hurriedly took the opportunity to go back After changing clothes, I quietly left the Grand View Garden.

Along the way, Zhou Rui's family didn't even dare to sneeze, seeing the Rongxi Hall close in front of them, but Mrs. Wang was in a trance in the alleyway and saw a young man and a girl entangled at the door, acting strangely.

"Is that Brother Huan?" Mrs. Wang asked Zhou Rui's family displeased. Zhou Rui's family squinted and laughed hurriedly: "Madam has good eyesight, but it's not Brother Huan. The girl I see is Caiyun next to Madam." .”

Zhou Rui's family has been helping Mrs. Wang deal with Aunt Zhao, and they know more about Caiyun and Jia Huan's nasty things. Today, seeing Mrs. Wang's suffocation in her heart, she was afraid that it would be spilled on her, so she wanted to cause trouble, and said: "No The servant deliberately complained in front of his wife, this Caiyun, hey, is really presumptuous."

Mrs. Wang stopped in her tracks: "How presumptuous is that?"

"Who doesn't know that my wife is merciful, she never beats and scolds the servants, and she always thinks of them, but my good wife is a villain who makes troubles and uses her kindness as a bully. Caiyun usually leaves with Aunt Zhao It's fine to be close, but she often takes things from his wife's private house for favors! Not to mention, I saw Aunt Zhao concealing a bottle of rose dew into her house a while ago."

That clear dew has always been precious, there are five or six bottles in Mrs. Wang's room, and her brother entrusted someone to send it from the south.Mrs. Wang was afraid that Baoyu would ruin the good things, so she ate up all the good things in Yihong Courtyard, so she asked Xiren to take a bottle.

In the past, Mrs. Wang trusted Caiyun and Caixia the most. They were the ones who gave advice on all the big and small things in the family. Caiyun also held the keys to Mrs. Wang's box and important things. Sometimes even Mrs. Wang didn't remember what she had. On the contrary, Caiyun knew it clearly.

Zhou Rui's family has always had a big prejudice against this. She always thinks that she is Mrs. Wang's confidant and accompanying room, and she should take care of everything about Mrs. Wang.

Today, he took the opportunity to trip Caiyun, which fell into the arms of Zhou Rui's family.

Mrs. Wang's face turned dark as expected, Zhou Rui's family quietly waved at the following women, and followed them alone.

But she said that Caiyun didn't know that there were people outside, she just focused on pulling Jia Huan, and her tone was full of begging: "Don't play the young master's temper again, it's not like you don't know that the night maids at the courtyard gate are all snobbish, Saying a few ugly words is just to make your mouth feel comfortable, not because you are sincere. If you go to find your wife just for this, be careful that your wife will blame you for meddling!"

Jia Huan looked annoyed, "Didn't you hear what those dog slaves said? What kind of young master am I? Even a girl doesn't take me seriously, thinking that I am not raised by my wife. If I have Baoyu's life , definitely more promising than him!"

Mrs. Wang almost gnawed her silver teeth, but Zhou Rui's family snickered secretly behind her, and did not speak out to stop her.

Caiyun raised her brows and scolded him lightly: "Damn Jia Qiang, I made you take two sips of rice wine, dare to say anything, come into the room with me!"

I don't know if it was because of the drunkenness, or just to vent the grievances in his stomach, Jia Huan threw his hands aside Caiyun's restraint, and sneered: "What's wrong with Jia Qiang, he is the one who tells the truth to me. You should be Jia Baoyu Zhenna So good? That is, the old ladies and wives were kept in the dark. In fact, it has long been spread outside, saying that the Xiren in Baoyu's room hooked up with him a few years ago to make a husband and wife, and even produced a child. Jia Baoyu sent Mingyan to buy abortion medicine outside!"

"Come on, give me a discount on this nigga's legs!" Mrs. Wang couldn't hold on anymore, rushed in and called for Jia Huan to be tied up.Jia Huan's face was stiff for a while, before Zhou Rui's family came to arrest him, Jia Huan jumped out of the courtyard and ran around.

Caiyun fell to her knees and hugged Mrs. Wang's thigh, "Madam, calm down, madam, it's because brother Huan is young and ignorant, so please let her go!"

It's fine if Caiyun doesn't intercede, but after hearing what she said, Mrs. Wang felt even more betrayed, and kicked Caiyun's heart.Yu Chuan'er, the housekeeper in the house, heard the movement and rushed out. Seeing that Caiyun was kicked to the ground by his wife, she was so frightened that she couldn't do anything. She didn't know which one to stop.

After fifteen years, the year was coming to an end, Wang Xifeng was anxious day and night to see when the emperor would hit her, but Jia Lian was unusually calm, eating and drinking as usual every day, and had to go to Fengwei Hutong to greet her uncle when she had nothing to do.The two families often walked around, and Wang Xifeng and Lu Shi became acquainted with each other. She was quick-tempered, and everyone said that Lian's second grandmother was the most thoughtful, but in fact, most of them were just clever and didn't have a long-term vision.On the contrary, after staying by Lu Shi's side for a while, he gained a lot of insight subtly.

This day, Xiuyan watched Zhengde practicing big characters, and the little girl outside went back and forth, saying that Second Master Lian had something to do with her.

Xiuyan wasn't suspicious either, so she took out a copy of Wang Xizhi's post and called Zhengde to copy it, and went to the outer courtyard by herself.

"Sister Xing, I'll let you know what you asked me to inquire about!" Jia Lian came in a hurry and didn't sit down at all. Seeing Xing Xiuyan enter the door, he hurriedly told her the news he had heard.

Xiuyan's eyes lit up, and she quickly ordered the maid to pour tea.

But Jia Lian waved his hands and smiled: "Don't bother, thanks to His Majesty's grace, let me atone for my crimes. Although I am exempted from the official title of co-prefect, I am asked by the Ministry of Punishment to be a book history. In the past, it was only because of an official title that there was nothing to do. My uncle was born in Shulingshi, so I will never make a mistake following him."

Xiuyan smiled knowingly upon hearing this.The news spread out years ago. After all, Jia Lian had dealt with the eunuchs in the palace, and he was well informed.It turned out that Xiaozong praised Jia Lian for her wife who didn't throw away the dross, so the board didn't really want to fight, and Jia Lian's official position was demoted in disguise, but in fact it was a real mistake.

In the past, Jia Lian couldn't squeeze into the officialdom, so he decided to do business. Now that the emperor is looking for him, how can Jia Lian be unhappy?

After thinking about it with Sister Feng, he finally listened to what his uncle and aunt said to have a good day today.He treats Xing Xiuyan like his own sister, if the younger sister asks for something, Jia Lian will naturally not refuse.

"Didn't my sister tell me to inquire about the relationship between Mr. Bai and Mrs. Qi's family at Bishan College? I only found out after a few relationships. It turns out that the two families have no previous contacts. If Mrs. Qi has the ability to let Mr. Bai accept a student casually .It's simply not possible."

Xiuyan hurriedly asked: "Could it be that Mrs. Qi is deceiving Mrs. Gong?" To cheat someone's daughter's life with an impossible thing, Mrs. Qi is making a big joke!
