The eldest son of the red mansion

After listening to Xue Baochai's words, Aunt Xue also thought about it. If Xue Baochai and Jia Ke really got married, apart from a bad reputation, nothing else would be perfect.

"Baochai, you have to think about it. Once you make up your mind, you will never go back on your word." Aunt Xue said a little worried.

Xue Baochai has made up his mind now, look at Jia Ke's high position and authority, who in Jia's mansion can match him?Although he himself didn't want to admit it, in fact, he still had some utilitarianism in his heart.

Xue Baochai didn't hide anything from her mother, Aunt Xue, so she expressed her inner thoughts, "Mom, although I have a bad reputation after being rationed to Jia Ke, other things are very beneficial to our family, except that I have no reputation. , no matter who I marry in the future, it will not be as good as being Jia Ke's concubine."

Aunt Xue also nodded when she heard this, "That's what I said, and the reasoning is also the same, but after all, it's easy to say, but in the future we will be half shorter than others in Rongguo Mansion, how will we deal with your aunt and Sister Feng in the future?" ?”

Xue Baochai said indifferently: "Mom has only seen the situation for two or three years now, and you will see it in ten or so years, and the two of them will still rush to curry favor with us."

Xue Baochai saw this matter very clearly. In the future, Jia Ke must be at the helm of the Jia family, like Mrs. Wang. Although she is his mother on the surface, she will not depend on Jia Ke to live in the end.Otherwise, who in this capital knows who Jia Zhu and Jia Baoyu are?

Although Aunt Xue nodded there, she still couldn't make up her mind. After all, this is not a trivial matter.Once Xue Baochai and Jia Ke are married, her family's status will definitely be damaged.

Seeing that Aunt Xue could not make up her mind, Xue Baochai offered him another solution, "Mom, why don't you write a letter and ask uncle to see what he means?"

Aunt Xue was enlightened when she heard it, she clapped her hands and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I should ask your uncle about this matter. He has also seen the world, so naturally he sees this kind of matter farther than the two of us girls. "

Chapter 450 Rumors

But she said that my aunt could not make up her mind, and after sending Xue Baochai away, she immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Wang Ziteng who was far away at the border, asking him to make up her mind.

After all, this is a major matter related to the family. If the daughter is sacrificed, but the long-term prosperity of the family cannot be guaranteed, then it is better to let the daughter marry an ordinary person in peace.

Besides, Wang Xifeng came out from Jiamu's house and returned to her small courtyard.Ping'er greeted them from the side, and said to their master: "Grandma, you are back, why did you go so long this time? There are several managers waiting for you now."

"What's the matter, if it's not about going to Qingxu Temple in a few days, let them go back first, and say that I don't have time, and let them come back when I come back from Qingxu Temple." Wang Xifeng said impatiently, She saw what happened today for real. This Xue Baochai seemed to want to climb high.

Seeing Wang Xifeng's impatient look, Ping'er hurried out to dismiss the women in charge.

When Ping'er came back again, she sat next to Wang Xifeng, rubbed her shoulders and asked, "Grandma, what's bothering you? I was fine when I left just now. Could it be that the old lady made things difficult for you."

"That's not true. I just arranged for me to offend others. I wondered whether I should do this." Wang Xifeng said absently while sitting there enjoying Ping'er's service.

"If it's not something important, tell me about it, grandma, and I will refer to it for grandma."

"I told you, don't spread the word, otherwise something will really happen." Wang Xifeng now also needs someone to advise her, and she is relieved of Ping'er's loyalty, so she is going to tell her.

"Grandma, don't worry, can I tell the story?" Ping'er answered Wang Xifeng while rubbing Wang Xifeng's shoulders.

Wang Xifeng leaned on Ping'er, closed her eyes and said helplessly: "Today I saw the uncle and Baochai flirting at the old lady's place. I think they are eye-catching."

"And this matter, if the two of them really meet, can Aunt Xue agree? After all, the uncle has a wife, and he will be a concubine in the past." Ping'er couldn't believe it. A person as proud as Xue Baochai even wanted to be someone else's concubine.

Wang Xifeng looked down on Ping'er's short-sightedness, "What's wrong with being a concubine? It depends on who you want to be a concubine. To be disrespectful, isn't our mother also a concubine for the emperor?"

Ping'er was stunned by Wang Xifeng's words, and looked at Wang Xifeng with his mouth wide open in disbelief. You must know that Wang Xifeng hated people who were concubines the most.

"Grandma doesn't have to say that. It would be great if people heard it." Ping'er was frightened by Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng said indifferently: "What are you afraid of? There are only two of us here. Are you afraid that you will speak out? Besides, if you speak out, who would dare to do anything to our family now?"

Seeing that Wang Xifeng was getting more and more outrageous, Ping'er quickly changed the subject, fearing that she would talk about the emperor and empress again.

"What does the old lady mean, agree?"

"Who is the old lady? As soon as Baochai moved there, the old lady knew what she meant. Don't let me spread the word to her outside. Let Baochai be more stable during this time, and don't make troubles." .” Wang Xifeng was a little helpless.

"What grandma means is whether to do it or not." Ping'er is also a little worried for Wang Xifeng now.

"Do it, why not do it, anyway, this matter is the old lady's idea, and I can't blame me in the end. But I don't think it's useful."

"Why? Does the uncle dare to go against the old lady's wishes?"

"Why not? The old lady didn't say it clearly. Besides, there is Xue Baochai watching over there. Once this woman starts thinking about a certain man, how long can that man persist? It was done by Baochai." Wang Xifeng unexpectedly felt a little envious in her tone, but she was actually not very satisfied with his marriage?

Wang Xifeng heard that she was going to be engaged to Jia Ke back then, but because the old lady forcibly made the decision and assigned Qin Keqing to Jia Ke, that's how it ended today.Otherwise, she is now the mistress of the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion next door. Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but feel a little sad, it's really a trick of luck.

Ping'er saw Wang Xifeng's thoughts from the side. Their master and servant have been together since childhood, and Ping'er also knew what happened back then.

So Ping'er quickly changed the subject, "Master, Zhang Shun's family, who is in charge of the carriages and horses, just came here to report that they want some money, so they can repaint the carriage, so that people can look happy when they go out."

Sure enough, Wang Xifeng was changed by her, and she was annoyed when she heard this, "Is this bastard bullying me or is it a fool? I'm going to go out in a few days, and she just brushes the car now?"

In fact, Ping'er has long known the tricks, it's just that the housekeepers want to get some benefits from it.

"Master, don't be angry. Isn't this a common thing? In short, hit her after a while, and she should restrain herself when she thinks about it."

Who knows that Wang Xifeng's temper is exploding now, and how can she have time to talk nonsense to a housekeeper, "I don't have time to educate her today, so you order someone to go out and play 30 boards, and then let her come to see me."

After hearing this, Ping'er frowned, "Master, these people are the sons of families for several lifetimes, so they still need to show some face."

"What nonsense are you talking about? There are many people who want to be housekeepers now. Besides, there are no more Nanny Lai, let alone them. You go and tell them that if they are dishonest in the future, Nanny Lai will be their role model."

Ping'er didn't say anything, just nodded and went out to deliver a message.

After a while, the sound of crying father and mother came from the yard, and then Ping'er came in from the outer room.

"Master, it's done."

Listening to the sound outside, Wang Xifeng closed her eyes slowly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Within a few days, word spread from Jia's mansion that Xue Baochai and Jia Ke were eyeing each other, and this matter reached Qin Keqing's ears at the speed of light.

After Qin Keqing heard the news, her eyes darkened.For the current Jia Ke, she is very satisfied to be honest.

The three concubines around Jia Ge were all commissioned by maids who had followed Jia Ke for many years, and none of them had status.In Qin Keqing's eyes, she was completely out of the question.Even if they gave birth to a son, there was no threat to themselves.

But Xue Baochai is different. If Xue Baochai wants to marry, a good concubine is indispensable.At that time, Xue Baochai's child may even compete with her Jia Zhi for the position of heir to the Wuyanghou Mansion.

Although Qin Keqing was reluctant, she was not in charge of this matter, so instead of being angry, Qin Keqing served Jia Ke more cautiously these two days.

This made Jia Ke, who never cared about these things at home, feel that Qin Keqing had treated him with care and tenderness these two days, so he also enjoyed it happily. It is not that Jia Ke has not heard these gossips, but he has not. In my heart, now in Jia Ke's view, women are just for decoration.

And these gossips soon spread to Aunt Xue of Lixiangyuan, and Aunt Xue was so angry that she couldn't eat for several days.

But Xue Baochai, who was in the Grand View Garden, was not dissatisfied when he heard the news.On the contrary, there is some disdain.

In the eyes of others, this is a great misfortune, but in the eyes of Xue Baochai, who is interested in Jia Ke, it comes at the right time.And those people behind the scenes would not have thought of this matter, and might even facilitate their marriage with Jia Ke.

Xue Baochai thought that if he handled this matter by himself, he would let the matter calm down quietly instead of making such a big publicity.Doesn't this confirm the relationship between Jia Ke and himself?In the future, Jia Ke might have to marry herself.

Xue Baochai thought again and again, I am afraid that this is what Jiamu meant. This is not only a warning to himself, but also a promise to himself.

This is to let yourself settle down a little bit, don't let anything happen, and everyone will be ugly.

So Xue Baochai has never been out of Hengwu Garden since these rumors came out.
