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

Baochai knew that Mr. Feng they kept talking about was Feng Yuan.In the previous life, Feng Yuan was beaten to death because of competing with his elder brother Xue Pan for Xiangling. Feng Yuan was rescued in front of Pan.Unexpectedly, this rotten peach blossom was attracted.

Baochai has always looked at Feng Yuan with a perfunctory and irritated attitude.She felt that he was too indecisive, ignorant of the general situation, she was patient, and did not point it out on the surface, but she couldn't help feeling that his blatant overtures simply lowered her taste, and she was looking forward to him Hurry up and repent, marry a woman from a good family from a small family, live in peace and security, or continue to love masculinity as before, that's fine.But it never occurred to her that both Sun Mu and Zhang Nanny agreed that Feng Yuan was her last straw!Being forced into this position by my own mother, it's hard to know what to say.

"It's true that his family background is poor, but a handsome man with a crown and a crown, no matter whether he is knowledgeable or capable, who would be willing to be manipulated by a woman? I'm afraid the future is unpredictable." Baochai Said with a sigh.

Nanny Zhang looked confident. "No matter what you say, the girl is also a relative of the Jia family and Wang's family, and a celebrity in the eldest princess's house. If Mr. Feng can have a girl to marry, it is already a blessing from the ancestral grave. I have cultivated it for eighteen lifetimes. How can I not enshrine it?" Why respect the girl?"

Seeing that she was speaking eagerly, Baochai couldn't easily dismiss it, but smiled lightly, with worry on his face.

Baochai went to Sun Mu's place the next day, and saw Yao Jing and others looking at her sympathetically.In the past, Yao Jing questioned her and laughed at her so much, but Baochai always dealt with it calmly, because she knew Yao Jing was wrong, and she had the confidence to respond.But this time, Baochai smiled wryly.It is not an easy thing to admit to people that her mother treats her like nothing.

"Baochai, don't be sad. Girls in the world are not highly valued by their parents. As the saying goes, no matter how well married a married daughter is, she will only become more and more distant from her mother. I am unmarried all my life, and I have cut off contact with my natal family long ago, they feel ashamed, and I am afraid that they will plot to bully me." Sun Mu said very directly, at the expense of exposing his family's ugliness, and showing his own words to comfort Baochai.

But Baochai knew that although women in the world were not valued very much by their parents, few of them reached the level of Aunt Xue.What's more, she used to vomit blood and blood for her, but she didn't expect to end up in this kind of situation, so she didn't need to think about it, she just felt chills.

"The surname Feng, I have already made an agreement with him. He expressed his admiration for your appearance, conduct, knowledge and talents, and he relied on you to preside over the backyard with him. I hinted that you belonged to him, and he even promised not to touch you." Neng said It was Yao Jing who said such straightforward words.She had seen a lot of things like physical marriages in her previous life, so she made the request at this time with confidence, not like Sun Mu, who hesitated to speak, it was hard to say anything.

It's just that Feng Yuan agreed to Yao Jing's request, which made Baochai feel relieved after being surprised.She has been a human being in two lives, her enthusiasm has been exhausted by repeated blows, and she is quite tired of men.

"Naturally, can I still lie to you?" Yao Jing was a little unhappy, "Since you are in love with Sister Lin, you are like that otherworldly fairy land, since you have made friends with her, how can you be with other men?" Is it involved? I originally thought that if the Xue family could consider the overall situation and promise not to force you to marry, it would be the best. Unexpectedly, they are so short-sighted that they have no choice but to push out that surnamed Feng as an expedient measure."

Knowing that Aunt Xue is in a hurry to send Baochai to Prince Zhongshun's mansion, the marriage should not be delayed. It must be known that Prince Zhongshun is the most difficult person to get along with. A little later, it's too late to regret it.

During such intensive preparations, Baochai, accompanied by Zhang Nanny and others, met with Feng Yuan.She didn't notice Feng Yuan's appearance until now. She saw that this person was pale, with thin eyes and thin lips. From the point of view of physiognomy, he looked a bit unlucky, but he could be regarded as a handsome eunuch.

When Feng Yuan saw Baochai, a little blush appeared on his pale face. He looked like he wanted to see but didn't dare to look. He bowed to Baochai and said respectfully, "Mr. Remember it all, and dare not violate it a little bit.”

Seeing Feng Yuan's statement, Baochai felt slightly relieved, sighed quietly, and finally stopped talking.Feng Yuan looked as respectful as the guys she commanded to do this and that on weekdays, and seemed to be non-aggressive.

But what needs to be said still needs to be said. "I don't have any dowry this time..." This matter is disgraceful. When a woman gets married, she is afraid that she will not bring a dowry and make her in-laws laugh at her.Therefore, Baochai and other generous people couldn't help hesitating and ashamed when they mentioned this matter.

Feng Yuan answered quickly. "Marry a wife and a virtuous man. Could it be that my Feng family still lives on women's dowry?" Yao Jing and Madam Zhang were relieved by his words, but Baochai didn't know why, and felt a little uncomfortable.

It's just that this matter is to catch ducks on the shelves.In a hurry, how can everything be perfect?

On the way back to Xue's house in the car, Xiaohong secretly suggested to Baochai that instead of marrying this Feng Yuan, it would be better to marry Jia Yun from the fifth sister-in-law's house in Langxia.The former is full of calculations, but he is just an ordinary eunuch from the countryside. Even though he has some wealth, his heart is unknown and his foundation is very shallow.Jia Yun's character and ability have been tested by them. Now that Baochai has taken care of the business for a long time, the family is not as poor as before. Anyway, he is a direct descendant of Jia's family, and his status is not known to be higher than Feng Yuan's.

Baochai was dumbfounded, unable to laugh or cry.Xiaohong's expression was sincere, and her words came from her heart, but Baochai couldn't accept her kindness.Firstly, Baochai knew about Xiaohong and Jia Yun's flirtatious flirtations and private exchanges, so as a dignified master and girl, she naturally had no reason to rob men from the subordinates; Baoyu's mother, Mrs. Wang, is a sister from the same father, but Jia Yun is the next generation, a descendant of the cursive generation, and usually calls Jia Baoyu "father and lord". Regardless of her seniority, no matter how panicked she is, she will not do such a thing that violates the principles of ethics.

Feng Yuan was very obedient, and the second day Baochai met him, he came to propose marriage as agreed.Aunt Xue was full of thoughts about letting Baochai enter Prince Zhongshun's mansion as a concubine to compete for favor. First, she would not need a dowry, and she would have a sum of money from selling her daughter. Second, she would be able to support Xue Pan in the future. How could you easily agree to go?

Sun Mu specially came to Xue's house to be a guest this day, just to guard against this matter.Seeing Aunt Xue's unhesitating look, she quickly persuaded her: "In my opinion, the Feng family has a clean family background, and Mr. Feng's family has no concubines. Now that he came here to marry her sincerely, it can be seen that he has taken a fancy to Baochai. Given his family's family background, the dowry would not be generous, and the dowry would not be too much, wouldn't it be cheap?"

Aunt Xue heard that there is no need to bring more dowry, and her heart moved slightly. She took Baochai to her room, and asked her: "I also vaguely remember the incident back then. This man named Feng wanted to marry Xiangling as his concubine. When we got into an argument, you didn't know where you found out, so you hurriedly took me there and hugged him. Since then, we have been close relatives and friends, and he sent people to Beijing to pay his respects every year. The rescued Xiangling was originally She said she wanted to be your brother's concubine, but you let her go. Your brother later said that you hid her and suspected that you had something to do with Xiangling. Later, seeing that Xiangling was married, it's not good to inquire about other people's homes The matter of a married woman is nothing more than that.”

Baochai saw that Aunt Xue seldom talked to her at length, and what's more, she was talking about old things. She was surprised, but asked respectfully, "How did mother talk about this old thing today? I don't know what mother means? "

Aunt Xue looked Baochai up and down, and suddenly sneered and said, "Hmph! The people who propose marriage have all come to the door now. How dare you hide it from me? Tell me honestly, do you and that person named Feng secretly have a relationship? What did you do to disgrace the reputation of the family? Rouze, with his family background, he has the courage to come to ask for marriage? Your master is still talking about it for him?"

Baochai never expected that Aunt Xue would doubt her innocence, so she hurriedly knelt down and was about to defend herself, when she heard Aunt Xue not allowing her to speak, she hurried on: "I thought at first, you followed your master. If you don’t learn well, you’ll learn how she doesn’t know women well. Only now do you realize that you are using Xiangling as a cover. You go in and out all year round, using business as a cover. How many embarrassing things have you done!"

Baochai was ashamed and annoyed, with inexplicable grief and indignation, she shed tears and said to Aunt Xue: "Mother, my daughter grew up by her side, doesn't the mother know what kind of person her daughter is, how can she do something that insults the family reputation? It was because of business in and out. At the beginning, my brother was not very proficient in the accounts of the shop, so he begged me repeatedly. I said that I was afraid of being criticized by others, and my mother and brother repeatedly urged me to go. Although they come in and out frequently nowadays, they are all followed by nurses and maidservants. Wherever they go, there is nothing that cannot be said to others. Why should the mother insist on doubting her daughter's innocence? The daughter's body was smashed to pieces, the Xue family's reputation is the next thing, I'm afraid it will also be affected."

Aunt Xue said: "You still have the face to talk about the reputation of the Xue family. What kind of person is this surnamed Feng? If you come to ask for a marriage, won't you be laughed out of your teeth by others? Why do you care about the reputation of the Xue family?"

Sun Mu and Yao Jing heard Yinger say that they were arguing, so they hurried over, just in time to hear Aunt Xue's last words.Sun Mu was trembling with anger, unable to speak, but Yao Jing said with a sneer: "In order not to pay the dowry, she sold her daughter to the palace as a concubine. Could it be that Mrs. Xue did this to take care of the Xue family's reputation?" Is it? If you insist on not agreeing, why don’t you go to the Empress Dowager Empress together with me and let her judge this truth!”
