[Red House Chai Dai] Salted Pork Knuckle, Crab Rice Wine

Ying'er's words made even Baochai a little surprised.

For a long time, I don't know what kind of poison Mrs. Wang put on Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue was thinking about a good marriage, and she believed that Jia Baoyu was the only son-in-law in the world, and she kept forcing her daughter to cater to her. He ignored it, and was even more furious at Jinxiang Hou Han's marriage proposal. In order to prove his innocence, he did not hesitate to beat the matchmaker out.

It should be known that the matchmaker belongs to the group of three aunts and six wives. She has many connections and likes to form cliques the most. She is like a family of princes and ministers. This is inappropriate, I am afraid that they will secretly hold a grudge and wait for an opportunity to retaliate.

How does the matchmaker retaliate?When you think about it, you can understand that it is nothing more than when you are a matchmaker, you call the ugly girls and boys from other people's families beautiful, and the vicious ones as good, so why don't you learn how ugly and fierce the girls and boys from the Xue family are? Wushu is so rude and overbearing.

If she is an ordinary girl who intends to marry a good man who takes care of her husband and raises her children, then Baochai should resent her mother for delaying her life.Fortunately, Baochai dislikes men by nature, and has been a human being for two lifetimes, so she has a thorough understanding of this matter and does not want to remarry.Aunt Xue's approach is not a serious problem to her.What she misunderstood was only the future of her brother Xue Pan.She made up her mind early in the morning that if Aunt Xue and Xue Pan could not tolerate her, then she would be fine. As in the previous life, she married Xia Jingui and entered the house, making the Xue family restless. As a married aunt, she watched the Xue family's chickens fly around every day, Aunt Xue cried, and Xue Pan made troubles, but there was nothing she could do.

Aunt Xue's attitude towards Baochai has been even more lukewarm since the marriage failed, especially the talk of marriage, which she never mentioned again.Seeing that she was getting bigger and bigger, Baochai was not only not sad, but also happy in her heart, feeling that the situation was developing in the direction she expected. Who knew that Aunt Xue would suddenly act out this scene again!

But in those days, Baochai didn't even have any autonomy in matters of marriage, the order of his parents, and the words of the matchmaker.I can only see the tricks, ask what Aunt Xue's charter is, and then draw conclusions, and Ying'er said with a sad face: "The matchmaker asked about the girl's birthday, and said with disgust that she was too old, and said that the girl is not good enough." Guarding the boudoir, hanging out with the big men in the business field all day, so the boudoir reputation is not good, the reputation is very ugly..."

Baochai was delighted when she heard it: Originally, she also thought that as a woman, she must follow the three obediences and four virtues. I know that the so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality are just masters who follow the wind and watch others order dishes.Ever since her reputation of making money has spread like wildfire in Beijing, whoever dares to talk about not guarding the boudoir in front of her, all of them are filled with admiration.Baochai was puzzled at first, but after seeing it a lot, she no longer felt surprised.Think about it carefully, the prosperity of the world is all for profit.The most noble people in this world wear clothes and eat food every day, who can really live without this money?But money is not brought by strong winds, there are so many people in this world who toil and run around for this thing, and empty-handed people, naturally envy Baochai, a heroine among women who can make money.

"Those matchmakers only enjoy suppressing and slandering people. Don't be angry and speak slowly." Seeing Ying'er's angry look, Baochai hurriedly advised her, fearing that she would not catch her breath and choke.

"But not only did the matchmaker say that, even our wife kept nodding, with a worried look on her face." Ying'er said aggrievedly, "Wen Xing saw clearly from the side, and the wife sealed the matchmaker with a big red seal, threatening to say As long as the girl can be married off, so as not to lose the members of the Xue family, the son-in-law's age, appearance, character and so on are secondary."

Baochai was startled and almost couldn't believe her ears.But since she first made a lot of money and then got in touch with His Royal Highness the eldest princess, all the servants of the Xue family have secretly turned to her.Although she didn't say a word, the things these people overheard secretly were all about details, and whatever they thought was valuable, they would change their ways and report it in her ears.For this reason, Ying'er has absolutely no possibility of listening to the matter. It seems that her mother, Aunt Xue, really dislikes her.She only thought that because of the rejection of the Jia family, her mother might criticize her quite a bit, but she never expected that it would come to this point!

No matter how calm and capable Baochai is, no matter how wise and resourceful she is, she is just a daughter who loves her mother deeply and wholeheartedly plans for Xue's family. Hearing what Yinger said, she didn't realize it, but her face was pale and her body was also pale. trembling slightly.

Seeing her like this, Sun Mu knew that she was suffering from anger and confusion, so he hurriedly said: "I know you are sad. It's just that this matter, although it has come to an end, is not without room for change. Now we just sent the official media to come to see each other, and we are still far away from the marriage proposal. Even if the official media proposes candidates, it will take years to accept the candidates, ask the name, Najib, accept the levy, ask for a period, etc. We have enough Time to think."

Baochai kept her face as white as snow, and said tremblingly, "I...I didn't expect this...I..."

Sun Mu knew that Baochai was not feeling well at the moment.People are not made of iron, and who knew that their beloved and trusted mother would despise him so much, so they could feel better.

"Just take a sip of water and take your time." Sun Mu said in a deep voice, "If I'm right, your mother will call you out after a while to show the official media. We have to be prepared It is."

Ying'er hurriedly took a bowl of tea and handed it to Baochai.Baochai took the tea bowl. At this moment, her skills taught by Sun Mu and preparing for the palace election for many years finally showed.People are flustered like that, but they are still magnanimous and graceful in their gestures, and they still don't appear anxious when they talk and do things.

While choosing clothes for her to meet guests, Sun Mu couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity that this beautiful face is as beautiful as peaches and plums, but now I have to dress up as ugly..."

But Baochai interrupted Sun Mu. "Master, I want to dress up well. Anyway, I have offended the official media. No matter how badly I dress up, they will not give up trying to find someone for me. It's ridiculous and shameful for my Xue family. ’ she insisted.

Sun Mu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "You're right. I was negligent. This time, let Master do your makeup for you."

Baochai usually dresses in a plain and clean way without any makeup.Today is different.Sun Mu chose for her a coat of golden white butterfly wearing bright red foreign satin, under which was an emerald-colored gold-coloured crepe skirt, and a silk-cut stone green and silver mouse coat on the outside.Baochai only took a look at the diorama in the room, and said with a smile, "Oh, this looks exactly like Sister-in-law Feng."

Sun Mu had been entertained by Jia's family, and when he knew Jia's family well, he knew that Baochai's so-called Feng's sister-in-law, Wang Xifeng, was a person who liked to dress up the most. Dazzling, but quite tacky.

When Baochai said this, Sun Mu already realized that she was gesticulating to hang a ring on Baochai, but when she heard the words, she stopped, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "You are different from that Fengjie. You are different from that of Sister Feng. She is calm and majestic, no matter what color she is, you can hold her back." But she put all the rings and pendants in her hand aside.

Sun Mu hurriedly combed Baochai's hair again, tied her into a bun which is the most popular among girls nowadays, and inserted a gold silk hairpin with eight treasures and beads for her. After looking at it for a while, it still didn't feel like it was enough. Turning around, he saw a hibiscus blooming in full bloom in front of the yard trellis, so he quickly snipped it off with scissors, and put it on Baochai's temple.I looked at it carefully again, but I always felt that something was missing. After thinking for a long time, I asked Ying'er: "Where is the gold necklace that your girl often wears?"

Before Ying'er could answer, Baochai hurriedly said, "Master, what's the meaning of that heavy thing? I haven't worn it for many days. Although there are a few auspicious words embedded on it, I think it's better not to wear it these days." Things, luck is better."

Sun Mu didn't know the weirdness of the gold collar, he only thought that she wanted to draw a line with Baoyu, and agreed with a smile.She had just dressed Baochai on her side, when the summoner from the other side came.

Sun Mu put down his hands in satisfaction, sat in the back room drinking tea and waiting for the news, while Baochai, surrounded by Yinger and Xiaohong, went to the front.

The official media, surnamed Lian, was sitting in the hall, chatting casually with Aunt Xue. Although he looked polite on the outside, he looked down on Xue's family in private.The official matchmaker who was beaten out by Aunt Xue some time ago was her good sister, and the two of them had the most common hatred. Matchmaking in the capital has always been popular, and it was unexpected that they would be in Xue's house. be treated this way.

"The old face I have accumulated in half my life can be regarded as falling on the ground and I can never pick it up again." When the matchmaker went to visit her doctor, her old sister held her hand and said with snot and tears, "Skin and flesh Suffering is a trivial matter, and it doesn't matter if I lose face alone. But I can't figure it out, the Xue family is just a royal merchant's family, and Mr. Han of Jinxiang Hou Han's family is the son of the Marquis family, and it is enough to match their family , if you have other thoughts, it’s fine if you don’t want to, but kicking me out like this is a shame to the official media in the capital!”

Because of this experience, even before the matchmaker was invited by Xue's family to be a matchmaker for Baochai, she had already sent someone to inform the old sister, saying that since the things in the world happened so coincidentally, she had to report for the old sister. The hatred of this stick can't be over.

But when Baochai, surrounded by Yinger and Xiaohong, walked into the hall, even the matchmaker, who had seen countless people, couldn't help but look straight at her.

I saw that Baochai's face was like a silver basin, her eyes were like water apricots, her eyebrows were like emerald greens, and her lips were like cherry blossoms, which is the most dignified and beautiful appearance, besides, a little dress, although not extravagant, but matched with her whole body style , It is the splendor and splendor, like a concubine or fairy descending to the mortal world, which makes people want to bend down to kowtow and worship involuntarily.

Even the matchmaker was stunned for a while, and it took a while to come back to her senses. After saying a few casual words, she said goodbye respectfully.When I got home, I started to sigh.

These official media all have a booklet on hand, which is about young men and women who are getting married in the capital.Therefore, even the matchmaker had an idea before going to Xue's house.He planned to tell the Xue family about a family named Zhang.The person surnamed Zhang is from the Daming Mansion, his ancestors were military officers, and he can hardly be regarded as an official family. There is a young man in this family, who is in his 30s and [-]s. He has hidden diseases and has the most violent temper. I have said it several times before. Back to the marriage, when the girl's family inquired, they politely declined.Even the matchmaker saw that Aunt Xue of the Xue family was ignorant, and she was afraid that she would not know the details, so she deliberately cheated his family for a while.

After coming to Xue's house, even the matchmaker chatted with Aunt Xue, and found that she was eager to marry her daughter, and she was not refusing to marry her. Unconsciously, she felt smug, and felt that this time, the family named Zhang should seal herself well. It's a big red envelope.

Unexpectedly, seeing Baochai's style, even the matchmaker dared not make a mistake easily.She has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, but she still has a sense of awe in her heart. Seeing Baochai's appearance and character, she knows that this girl is not easily humiliated. If she insults too much, she may lose her fortune. Therefore, I dare not mention the matter of the surname Zhang anymore.

It's just that even the matchmaker once sent a message to her good sister, saying that she wanted to vent her anger for her. Although she had a good marriage in her heart, she couldn't easily marry Baochai because of face, so she was in a dilemma. Tricks.

Her daughter is the smartest, and she was deliberately cultivated to take over her mantle. Seeing her frowning for a few days, after asking what happened, she smiled: "Mother is confused? My daughter has an idea."

Even the matchmaker hurriedly asked why, and her daughter said: "There is a family named Fu in our capital. Has mother forgotten?"

Even the matchmaker asked: "But Fu Shi's family is judged? His sister, Fu Qiufang, is now 23 years old. Because he relies on his sister's talent and appearance, he wants to marry a rich and noble family and refuses to marry her lightly, so it has been delayed until now. .It’s just that they were outbursts. Who would care about them? Speaking of his family, I’m feeling melancholy. It’s just talking about the Xue family, what are you talking about about the Fu family?”

Her daughter said with a smile: "Mother, have you forgotten that Mr. Fu recently died as a wife. Now I am anxious to get angry and want to marry a famous lady. Because his family has a bad reputation, and it is a sequel, which good family?" Is your daughter willing to marry? Even the official media also decided that his family spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, which is not a good deal. Therefore, no matter whether it is an elder brother or a younger sister, no one is willing to interfere in the marriage of the Fu family. Mother, why don't you come here? If you change relatives, you can tie this pair of brothers and sisters with the pair of brothers and sisters of Xue's family. Since Miss Xue is a character that even her mother respects, if she marries into Fu's family, she can't control those couples. A concubine who is jumping around? Maybe it will turn the fire pit into a rich town."
