[Red Mansion] Different Daiyu

In front of Rongxi Hall, Xue Baochai found that everyone was standing, and an eunuch was sitting right in front of him, holding a scroll in his hand.The rest of the people looked at Xue Baochai with a puzzled look, except that Li Wan and Tanchun might have thought of something, and their faces were a little pale. Mrs. Wang looked at Xue Baochai with satisfaction, and Jia Mu lowered her eyes slightly, looking at Xue Baochai. Can't figure out what she's thinking.

Seeing that two more people came, the eunuch raised his eyes and looked over, "Hey, this is the girl from Huang Shang Xue's family, the descendant of Ziwei Sheren, she is pretty good. Now that everyone is here, let's start." .”

When Xue Baochai heard the words 'Huangshang Xue's family', his expression was unnatural for a moment, and he also felt a little uneasy.Shouldn't it be, shouldn't the eunuch here to pass the decree be Jia Bin's confidant?Then why would you comment on yourself in such a tone.But before she had time to think about it, everyone knelt down, and Xue Baochai also knelt down with anxiety.

"I heard that Baochai from Xue's family is handsome, talented, and virtuous. Now I bestow Jia Baoyu, the second son of Wailang, a member of the Rongguo Mansion's Ministry of Industry, as the second wife. Receive the decree and thank you!" He left with a generous reward, and returned to the palace to return to his life.

Xue Baochai's face was pale, the second room?How could it be the second room?Aunt Xue asked on the spot, "Sister, why is it the second room? Isn't it agreed?"

As soon as these words came out, the pedantic Jia Zheng also knew what was going on, so he said, how did the empress remember to propose to Baoyu in the palace? It turned out that it was Wang's fault.

Mrs. Wang obviously didn't understand what was going on!She explained anxiously: "I don't know what's going on." She had to quickly appease Aunt Xue, otherwise Aunt Xue would tell the deal between herself and Xue's family in public, and she would be finished.

Mother Jia coughed, "Daughter-in-law Zhu, take the girls down first. Baoyu stays here." She said, leading Baoyu, who looked confused, into the room first.Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing sneered a few times and followed in.

Jia Zheng was furious, "You fool!" Then he followed in.

Aunt Xue was about to say something, but Ying'er called out, "Girl, girl!" Aunt Xue looked back, and Xue Baochai fell into Ying'er's arms with a pale complexion. cried out.

The maids and women around thought that Miss Bao was definitely the second mistress of Bao, and they were ready to flatter her, but they didn't expect that she would become the second wife at the end of the day, and they all lost interest immediately.However, some people saw that the second wife liked Miss Bao, and felt that even if Miss Bao was the second room, so what, whoever got the wife's favor was the head of the Rongguo Mansion, so they rushed to help and sent Miss Bao back to Lixiangyuan.

In Jiamu's main room, Jiamu looked at Mrs. Wang with a sneer, "Is it very surprising why the empress suddenly changed her mind and gave the Xue family girl to Baoyu as the second wife?"

Mrs. Wang was in a state of disarray at this time, and she heard Jia Mu's words not sound, so she knelt down and said, "Old lady, I am doing it for Baoyu's sake. Baochai advises one or two. What's more, the empress is now pregnant, and there will be more places to spend money in the future. The old lady also knows the situation in the mansion. Isn't it just right that the Xue family has millions of dollars. I want to ask my mother to help me with this matter."

Mother Jia wanted to take this opportunity to suppress Mrs. Wang's prestige. Since she found out that Yuan Chun was pregnant, Mrs. Wang's power in the mansion has become more and more powerful. How else can I be a high-ranking old lady.Then a teacup fell beside Mrs. Wang, and the splashed tea wet Mrs. Wang's skirt.Mrs. Wang hated it secretly, but Jia Zheng was at the side, so she dared not say anything.

Jia Zheng quickly persuaded: "Mother, don't be angry, it will hurt you if you are too angry. If there is anything wrong with your daughter-in-law, you can just discipline her." After hearing this, Mrs. Wang became more and more annoyed.

"You shallow-sighted person, you only see that the Xue family has millions of dollars, but why can't you see that the Xue family has a troublemaker! My Baoyu, he will be a person with great fortune in the future. You have the heart to let him be killed. Is Xue Pan implicated? Since ancient times, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are the last class. You still let Baoyu have a wife who is an imperial merchant, and your mother has a younger brother who is an imperial merchant? What's more, the Xue family has millions of dollars , but Xue Pan is helpless. Doesn’t Aunt Xue keep money for Xue Pan, and let Xue Baochai take all of Xue Baochai’s dowry to Jia’s house? Does the government have the face to use the daughter-in-law's dowry? Since ancient times, a woman's dowry is reserved for her children, and her husband's family cannot use it. You have been married for so many years, and my Jia family has used a penny of your money Dowry? If it is passed on, how do you ask your empress to behave in the palace?"

As she spoke, Jia's mother felt sad, "Pity my Yuan Chun. After so many years of boiling oil in the palace, it's hard to get hope, and I have to be tired by your shallow mother. I pity Yuanchun!"

Jia Zheng was fine, but when Jia Baoyu heard about the eldest sister, he couldn't help crying.Mrs. Wang heard that what Jia Mu said made sense, and she couldn't help feeling a little panicked, "Then what should we do now?"

"What should I do? Aren't you the empress' birth mother? Baoyu's marriage is such an important matter that you can keep it from everyone and make up your own mind. If the empress is not cautious and thinks there is something wrong, ask someone to ask me, I will still be fooled by you Li. You are so capable, you can make up your own mind!" Mother Jia said angrily.

"The daughter-in-law is also for the good of Baoyu and the empress. It's just that the daughter-in-law is stupid and thinks wrong, so I ask the old lady to give me some advice. It's for the sake of the empress and Baoyu." Mrs. Wang begged, and she Knowing that the old lady is scheming, she must have an idea.

"Hmph! I don't know what agreement you have reached with Aunt Xue, but there is one thing. The empress also said that Xue Baochai can only be the second wife. After a few years, let the empress choose another high-ranking family for Baoyu, which can help Baoyu's future. The young lady is the first wife. However, Baochai cannot conceive before the big house enters the door, so as not to embarrass others. Baoyu is also growing up, and she cannot be left alone to take care of her. You and Xue's family are discussing about choosing a date for them to get married. Also, Baoyu's Xiren and Qingwen are good, and after Baoyu gets married, she will give them a face, and she will be a housekeeper first, and then she will be a concubine after giving birth to a boy and a half girl." Jiamu said what she had planned. come out.

When Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang heard this, they both felt that Jia's mother's proposal was very good, and Mrs. Wang was especially satisfied. Once Baochai could marry in and help the housekeeper, it didn't matter what kind of wife Baoyu married, if she was satisfied , give her the right to be the housekeeper, if you are not satisfied, continue to let Baochai be the housekeeper.But Baochai lost her status as a concubine, so naturally she can only rely on herself.As for Xiren Qingwen, Xiren is her own person, and Baoyu also values ​​her a little bit. In this case, I have a little more control over Baoyu.At this time, she had to admire that it was the old lady who had considered all aspects.

Jia She sneered, "Mom, since I don't have anything to do with my eldest wife, I'll leave first. A famous actress came to Zuixianglou recently, and she is especially good at Kunqu opera. My son has to join in. Let me go." Without waiting for Mother Jia to say anything, she went to the cashier's office to pay 3000 taels of silver, slipped around a corner and came back.

Mrs. Xing saw that Jia Amnesty had left, and stood up to say goodbye. Halfway through the walk, she suddenly thought of something, "Sisters and sisters, should the servants' monthly payment be paid? It's already half a month late." Saying that, Shi Shi ran away up.Mrs. Wang, who was left flushed, gritted her teeth secretly.

Seeing this, Mother Jia didn't want to say anything more.Just like she knew that Xiren belonged to Mrs. Wang, she still praised her. After all, Mrs. Wang is the biological mother of the empress and Baoyu, even if there is something wrong, for the sake of the empress and Baoyu, nothing can be done to her. "Okay, I'm tired too. You guys go down. You can discuss with Aunt Xue about the Xue family's affairs, but you can't be too lively. The empress is the most important thing now, and we can't get too much limelight."

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang nodded.

"As for Baoyu's concubine, you should take a closer look. If you don't say anything else, your family background must be worthy, and you can't wrong my Baoyu." If Lin Daiyu knew what Jia's mother said, it would definitely be very strange. How could the wife have such great confidence? Which good family would marry their daughter to a person who married a second room and had maidservants in the connecting room?Don't say that he is just the second son of a fifth-rank officer, Wailang, even if he has a sister who is a concubine, ordinary good people would not push their daughter into a pit of fire.It can only be said that in the eyes of Mrs. Jia, Jia Baoyu is so good, no matter how many women are around her, it doesn't matter, there will be someone with insight.

After Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang came out, Mrs. Wang saw what Jia Zheng was about to say, but Jia Zheng snorted and walked away.Mrs. Wang's face was blue and purple, and it took a long time for her to regain her composure.Thinking about how to explain it to my sister.

In Lixiangyuan, Xue Baochai developed a high fever shortly after being sent back. Aunt Xue and her party cried and ordered someone to invite a doctor, but Xue Pan didn't know where to go.

In the end, Xue Baochai, who was still in a daze, remembered Lengxiang pills by himself, and the high fever subsided after taking two pills.Aunt Xue looked at her pale-faced daughter, feeling sad, "My poor daughter, why are you so miserable!" She spent nearly 66 yuan in exchange for only a seat in the second room. Can you not be sad.

"Mother, don't cry. The child refuses to accept his fate. Let's just see what my aunt has to say now. Since the mother has made an order, there is no possibility of changing it. What's more, the mother knows what is going on with the Xue family. Family relations cannot be broken." Xue Baochai said through gritted teeth.Changing from the first wife to the second wife, how can she not hate it, but if my brother fights a little bit, she won't be trampled here!

"I'm just sorry for my chai'er! It's all your brother's fault, if he fights a little bit, how could my son be reduced to this point!" Aunt Xue said and started crying again.

Xue Baochai was full of sorrow, her mother was always like this, she only knew how to cry when things happened, but she was not seen on weekdays trying to persuade her brother.But so what, no matter how bad she is, she is still my mother, no matter how unbelievable my brother is, he is also my only brother!I only hate myself as a woman and can't do anything.Up to now, I can only see what my aunt has to say.As long as there is a ray of possibility, I can't give up!
