A Dream of Red Mansions Unexpected Visitors

But Aunt Xue and Baochai themselves knew that without a capable man in the family, it would be difficult for the family to support themselves.Because this time Xue Biao came to Beijing and went to the shop outside to take care of things, even if he still had no income every month, he would no longer lose money.It's just that he and his younger sister Baoqin are stubborn people. After Baoqin gets married, how can they help their family like this regardless of pay.Seeing that Xue Biao was like this, how could he do without a helper, so he wanted to think of a way to make Xue Biao wholeheartedly serve his family.

After much deliberation, Aunt Xue found that in this world, the best way to connect friendship is to marry two surnames.Even though Xue Biao has a good relationship with his younger sister now, after Bao Qin gets married, he will belong to someone else's family. There is an old saying that a married daughter is the water that is thrown out.If I take advantage of the fact that I am the only elder in Xue Biaojing at this moment, it is best to tell him about marriage and find a daughter-in-law who is close to me.Even if he didn't like it at first, after a long time, when the wind blows by the pillow, I'm not afraid that he won't be close to his family.

Aunt Xue then discussed with Baochai to find a wife for Xue Biao, but where could she find such a girl?Aunt Xue said to Baochai: "Look at the third sister of your aunt's family. She has a good temper and a good appearance. Although she is a concubine, she is also a girl from the Rongguo Mansion. How about it?"

Unexpectedly, Baochai shook her head again and again and said, "It's absolutely impossible."

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Are you worried that she won't be able to marry due to her good family status? Don't look at your aunt who treats the third girl well. "

Baochai said: "I'm worried about this. Since the housekeeper these days, the third younger sister has been vigorous and resolute, and she won't let Sister Feng do the fine things. She has a big gap in her chest. She will definitely not listen to mother's mercy. I don't know what troubles will happen. Come on. Take a ten thousand step back, even if she married into our family, she might not be close to us, maybe they will work together to suppress my brother. When I get married, my mother and brother will have such temperaments. Our family is not all Xue Biao's. My aunt is showing respect to my third sister. Isn't the third sister showing respect to my aunt? Besides, for her own future, how has her own mother and younger brother ever taken care of her? Excuse me, it also makes people feel cold. I originally wanted to persuade my mother to hire her to my brother, but I was afraid that she would suppress my brother, that's all."

Aunt Xue thought that her sister had lived in Rongguo Mansion for the past 20 years. If Tanchun had such a temperament, she really couldn't hire Xue Biao.People are like this, when they help themselves, they can't stop praising any kind of bad habits, but now it seems that it is not good for themselves, so it's not good at all.Aunt Xue had no choice but to ask Baochai: "My son, don't be ashamed, and help mother to think about what kind of person should be hired for Brother Tiao. This is related to the future of our Xue family. According to what you just said It means that the status should not be too high, and we have to be close to us, but if it is too low, we are too embarrassed to tell Xue Biao, if that is the case, it is not a marriage, but an enemy."

Baochai said confidently: "Don't worry, Mom, I have been optimistic about someone for a long time. How about Xing Youyan, a girl from Uncle Xing's family? I have seen her born elegantly and steadily in the past few days, and her family is poor. She is the daughter of Chai Jing Qunbu, and she is related to the Rongguo Mansion, even if she is offered to Xue Biao, how dare he refuse? What's more, their family is also a bad bamboo shoot, and both parents are not good people. When she came to Rongguo Mansion, she received 20 taels of silver every month like the girls here, and sister Lin’s rouge shop distributed 20 taels of silver, which meant to subsidize everyone. Unexpectedly, her parents Not only will the [-] taels be gone every month, but half of the monthly bills of the two taels will also be gone. It is said that the girl lives in the garden with the second girl. I don't think she has enough kinship with her parents. Besides, which one of the maids and mothers in the garden is easy to deal with? After three or five days, I have to give some rewards. That one tael of silver is not enough. I went to her a few days ago We saw pawn money in the house, and now she is wearing jackets again, so she must have gone out as a cotton padded jacket. We will send her back and help her a few times, so that we are not afraid that she will not turn to us when she gets married. And we are not afraid of Xue Biao. A high-status daughter-in-law will rely on the influence of her family to trouble us in the future."

Aunt Xue listened to Baochai's words and it was really appropriate. She was still a little puzzled, and asked, "You also know that the first and second families are incompatible in Rongguo Mansion. Let's go to the first house to propose marriage. Will they agree?"

Baochai said with a smile: "Mom doesn't live in the garden. I don't know some news about why the eldest wife's brother is so down and out. I heard that it is because the eldest wife brought all her belongings when she married into the mansion. The news even It’s not very accurate, but it’s about [-]% or [-]%. As long as you give more betrothal gifts, Uncle Xing doesn’t care about the relationship between the first wife and the second wife, and if you give more betrothal gifts, it also shows that we haven’t treated Brother Xue Biao badly.”

Aunt Xue thought that this was the truth. She wanted to go to see Sister Feng the next day, but she just thought that since she was pregnant, she should go directly to the old lady. Mother Jia is a lively person.What's more, in the eyes of her old man, there is nothing wrong with this marriage. Although Xing Youyan doesn't have good parents, she is a rare girl, and Xue Biao is not that frivolous prodigal son. They were a match made in heaven, so as soon as they heard it, they asked Mrs. Xing to ask.Mrs. Xing didn't respond to what she heard. Although there was a gap between the two rooms, how could it be revealed in front of the old lady.Besides, the Xue family is also a wealthy family, and when the time comes, the brother and sister-in-law who eat and drink for nothing at home will have to find their own son-in-law. The son-in-law is also a son-in-law. A penny sent away the trouble, so to Aunt Xue's surprise, she was more anxious about the marriage than anyone else, and hurriedly found Xing Youyan's parents.These two people have the same temperament as Mrs. Xing, and they refused to listen to the old lady's words.

So this marriage was settled, and everyone in the house knew about it.Only Baoqin was surprised, her elder brother told her the day before yesterday that she would wait until she got married before talking about marriage, and why would she ask Aunt Xue to marry her? Aunt made her own decisions.It's just that it's a done deal, and it's Rongguo Mansion's guarantor, so Xue Biao can only grit his teeth and agree.

Jia's mother knew what Xing Youyan's parents looked like, so she still asked her to live in the garden. Baoqin thought that her brother had been framed so easily.Even though he knew that Xing Youyan was innocent, he still pretended not to see her every day.On the other hand, Baochai is always considerate and helpful in secret. It is rare for Xing Youyan to have such a loving sister. The future sister-in-law is not her eyes, her nose is not her nose, and she does not know the details of her future husband-in-law. Baochai, and then the one who won Xue Biao.

Aunt Xue saw that everything was going exactly as Baochai said, and said to her happily, "My son, you are the smartest." Just looking at Baochai's beautiful face, thinking that the golden and jade marriage has not yet come true, She shed tears and said: "It's our family who missed you. With your character, you can just be a princess and princess. Just because of the word "Shang" in the name of Huangshang, even this marriage with Baoyu So far it hasn’t worked out. Baoyu is getting older, and I’m really afraid that he will be married by the old lady that day.” Baochai heard this, thinking that after the new year, he would become an old lady when he was one year older, so he couldn’t help but Also shed tears.

Aunt Xue suddenly thought of a trick, and asked Baochai, "Are you sure the old lady really doesn't want Miss Lin to marry Baoyu?" Baochai nodded naturally, and asked, "Why did Mom ask this? "

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "It's really destiny. Miss Lin prevented you from making an early marriage with Baoyu. Now we have to look at her if we want you to marry Baoyu. Speaking of which, she is the daughter of a third-rank official, but now both parents Death, I often hear you say that she misses her parents every time, and went out quietly to sacrifice a few days ago. She must be very eager to have a loving elder. If I recognize her as a goddaughter, don’t you She became the goddaughter of a third-rank official, and her status is not bad in name. With this title, I will pay you more dowry, and see how Shi Xiangyun can beat my chai'er."

Baochai never expected her mother to come up with such a good idea, so she was very anxious, so she went to see Daiyu with her mother in the afternoon.It's not clear, but Baochai acted like a baby in Aunt Xue's arms in front of Daiyu. As expected, Daiyu remembered her parents and couldn't help crying.Baochai then jokingly asked Daiyu to identify her godmother, but Daiyu smiled but did not respond.Baochai's heart sank, knowing that with Daiyu's temperament, it would be wrong if she didn't nod her head at this moment. Only Aunt Xue and Daiyu didn't spend long time together, and she was still talking about caring words.

At this time, Shi Xiangyun broke in, holding in his hand the pawn ticket that Baochai had obtained from Xing Youyan a few days ago. Baochai cheered up and concealed it with words.Aunt Xue saw that someone was coming and couldn't talk anymore, so she found an excuse and left. Baochai knew that Daiyu and Xiangyun were both smart people, not to mention that when the ticket was stuck in the book, how could they call Xiangyun so easily? Come on, she must have seen it somewhere, so I had to talk about the cigarettes as cotton clothes.Daiyu Xiangyun was angry, Xiangyun wanted to punish those women, but Daiyu blamed herself for being partial to Baoqin and ignoring Xingyouyan, only thinking about the 20 taels of silver was enough, and they were planning how to help Xingyun. Posting cigarettes, because Tanchun came in, several people stopped talking.

But when Daiyu and Qingxuan talked about it, she said to herself: "Although I don't care about the difference in status, it's just that I eat the wind and drink the dew, and I recognize an imperial businessman as a relative. Wouldn't those Qingliu officials not say it after hearing this?" I was confused, and I also tarnished my father's reputation, so I have to feel sorry for Sister Bao." Qingxuan knew that Daiyu would definitely not agree, so he didn't take this matter to heart.

Aunt Xue didn't want to give up, but the concubine who was ill before passed away, and she was ordered to join the court attendants, according to the nobility system, and decree the world that all families with nobility are not allowed to have banquets and music for a year, and the common people are three or three years old. Months are not allowed to marry.Aunt Xue thought that Baoyu's marriage must be postponed, so she also put aside the matter of confirming her marriage with Daiyu, and took this as a backup move.
