The soy sauce life of the second daughter of the Xue family in the Red Chamber

A few months before Tanchun, he had heard about Xue's family coming to Beijing, so he wanted to meet Baozan, the girl that Baoyu said was different from him, Uncle Lin, and Master Jing.

After waiting for several months, finally when Xue's family came to Beijing, Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked her servants to clean up the Lixiangyuan, but she heard that Xue's family had already cleaned up their house, and they moved in that day.On the second day, Mrs. Wang ordered Yingchun and Tanchun to wait for the Xue family members to come at any time, but the Xue family members went to Wang Ziteng's mansion.

It turned out that Prince Teng was not in Beijing because he was promoted to the control of nine provinces and was ordered to investigate borders. Aunt Xue wanted to go to Jia's house first.After hearing this, Baochai persuaded her: "Although my uncle is not in Beijing, my aunt is still there. After all, our family should be closer to the Wang family. How can we go to Jia's first?"

Aunt Xue's relationship with Wang Ziteng's wife, Mrs. Zheng, was not very good in her boudoir, and the general situation was not much different from that between Jia Min and Mrs. Wang.It's just that Jia Min was the most clever and wonderful person back then. Jia Daishan and Jia's mother loved this little daughter very much. Every time Jia Min had a little friction with Mrs. Wang, it was because of Mrs. Wang's unilateral deflation, so Mrs. Wang hated Jia Min deeply. .And when she was a girl in the Wang family, Aunt Xue's scheming methods were far inferior to her sister, Mrs. Wang, and she was not a favored girl, otherwise she would not be allowed to marry the Xue family, who was an imperial merchant. There will also be some conflicts, because they are biological daughters after all, so there are some things that each has [-] big boards. Although there are some small grudges, it doesn't hinder anything.

It's just that Wang Ziteng is not here at this time, and she is still reluctant to ask Tete to see Zheng's sister-in-law.Seeing her distressed face, Master Xue knew that it was because of his aunt and sister-in-law's relationship that he didn't want to go, and said: "What Bao girl said is very true. Over the years, my brother-in-law has helped our family a lot. It should go to his house first." Aunt Xue just nodded reluctantly.

But she said that although Mrs. Zheng didn't like Aunt Xue very much, but in retrospect, she always felt that Aunt Xue was much better than Mrs. Wang, and she was not as entangled as Aunt Xue.

Over the past ten years, she has also watched Wang Ziteng's attitude towards the Xue family change. At first, the Wang family only married their daughter to the Xue family because they wanted money from the Xue family.Later, I learned that Xue Pan was an excellent student since he was a child, that Baochai was dignified and generous, and that Baochai was also a spirited and clever girl. I only said that although Xue's family was a royal merchant's family, the children of the younger generation were all the same. It's good, but still doesn't care much.Later, when Xue Pan became a scholar at a young age, Wang Ziteng just started to look up to the Xue family, and the Xue family also took a little airs when they invited him. On weekdays, they also asked Wang Xifeng to often post posts to play with the two girls of the Xue family, and heard about Baochai. What Baozan said and did with the sisters repeatedly praised the two girls of their age for having such insight.Then when Xue Pan won the Juren, he was full of praise, but it was a pity that he didn't have a girl of the right age to match Xue Pan, and Zhen Shiyin was in vain.

Mrs. Zheng disagreed, and said: "It's just a juren, so what if one of the Jinshi becomes an official in the future? How many Jinshi are there for each imperial examination, and how many of them have been in the fifth rank for a lifetime? It is the number one scholar. There are many sixth-rank officials. In the future, without the support of the master, their son will be nothing. How can he be worthy of the daughter of the Wang family? I don’t know what the master is regretting."

Prince Teng sighed: "Stupid woman, stupid woman. You think you are the wife of an official family, and you don't want to see more children from Xue's family. How can you know their benefits. How old was Pan'er when he was a scholar? How old was he when he was selected Even if he failed in many trials in the future, and became a Jinshi at the age of 40 or [-], he is still young and promising. I think Pan'er is the most intelligent person. Even if he can't be like a fish in water in the officialdom in the future, he can still be safe. Ten times better than our family's Ren'er. Besides, I am his uncle, how can I not support him in the future? Our family's Ren'er is not good, and I will be old and useless in the future. Pan'er has been supported by me , how can we not take care of Ren'er?"

Mrs. Zheng still refused to accept it, and said: "Ren'er has a sister named Feng Yatou, why does Xue Pan need to take care of her? I think Lian'er is doing very well now, and she will still become a prince in the future."

Wang Ziteng said: "Although Lian'er is good, she was born in Jia's family. Then Jia's family has something about Baoyu. I just hope that Feng girl and Lian'er will take care of themselves for the rest of their lives. How can I ask them to take care of Ren?" Son? When the time comes, it will cause the taboo of the superiors, but it will harm both Ren'er and Feng girl."

Having said this, Zheng just now understood the pros and cons.

Later, Wang Ziteng took control of the nine provinces, and was ordered to investigate the border, and kept her in Beijing. He heard that the Xue family was going to Beijing, and because of what Wang Ziteng said, he wanted to see the three children of the Xue family.Before seeing them, Wang Ziteng was deliberately boasting to tell her not to underestimate the Xue family, but now when he saw them, he really felt that everyone was very good.

After boasting a lot, he asked about the marriages of several people: "I heard that your brother Pan and sister Chai are engaged. I don't know when they will get married?" Although Aunt Xue was reluctant to come to Wang's house, since she came, You have to do your best, so you said with a smile: "We have already discussed with the Zhen family, and we will give the dowry after Pan'er's test. As for the big girl, the Zhao family said that we will give the dowry after the test next year. The master is reluctant and hasn't agreed yet."

Mrs. Zheng said with a smile: "There are people like your master? When my son married someone else's daughter, he was anxious, but when his daughter was about to marry, he was reluctant, and he didn't think that the Zhao family was also very anxious, and the Zhen family was also reluctant." Yes." Aunt Xue also echoed with a smile: "That's not the case, I want to persuade him, but unfortunately I also want my son to get married soon, and I don't want my daughter to marry early, so it's hard to persuade him It's gone." With that said, the two laughed again.

Mrs. Zheng asked again: "Is there a family for Sister Zan?" Aunt Xue shook her head and said, "No, our master just wants to find someone who is similar to Mr. Zhao's family for Sister Zan, but such a A good thing was met by her sister, how can I be met by her again, I am also worried."

Mrs. Zheng said strangely: "Sister Zan looks like this, and she speaks so sharply. I look very good, so why should you worry?" Noble ones, we are merchants after all, and we are not a good match. If we marry the sons of petty officials, our master thinks they are poor. It is best to marry a salt merchant or the son of an imperial merchant's family who is educated and motivated like her sister. But how can such a family have so many well-educated men, and if there are, they are not of the right age." He sighed again and again.Mrs. Zheng saw that Aunt Xue was like this, and said that she was paying attention to Baozan. If there was something good, she could mention Baozan in due course. Aunt Xue thanked her.

In the evening, Mrs. Zheng left food again, and all the people went back to Xue's house after dinner, all of these were nothing to worry about.

A few days later, all the members of Xue's family went to visit Jia's house. Jia's mother loved beautiful and clever girls the most, and praised Baochai Baozan again and again.

Tanchun watched silently from the side, because without Baoyu, there would be no such things as good fortune and good fortune that blocked Jiamu's heart, these few compliments now are much more sincere than when Jiamu praised Baochai several times in the previous life .Baochai didn't like Jia's mother very much at first, but because when Xue Pan showed her a passage in "A Dream of Red Mansions" where she was young, Jia's mother said to give her 20 taels of silver for her birthday. 20 taels of silver would last a year in Grandma Liu's house, but in Jia's house it was just a matter of eating crabs for everyone. How can you invite a theater to have a drink for your birthday?It's just making it clear that he doesn't like himself.But I also thought that it was my mother and Mrs. Wang who spread the news of the golden and jade marriage in Jia's mansion. Jia's mother loved Daiyu very much. Naturally, she wanted Daiyu to be Baoyu's daughter-in-law. It was natural not to like herself, so she Also let go.Now seeing Mother Jia sincerely praise herself, she accepts it with a smile.

Mrs. Wang introduced Yingchun again, Tanchun introduced Baochai and Baozan, and the four met each other.Because the elders wanted to talk about the past, the four of them went to the Tanchun House to play together.Later, I saw Sister Feng again in Tanchun House.

Before they saw each other, they heard Sister Feng's voice coming from outside the house: "You two girls have no conscience. I heard that you came, and hurriedly settled everything and walked all the way to the old lady's place. Then I saw my aunt, and you two didn't even see a shadow." Baochai said with a smile, "it's all our fault. I wronged sister Feng." Baochai also said, "that's right, our family is also in Beijing now. , Sister Feng can also come to play from time to time, when the time comes to our house, hide and don't see us, how about asking Sister Feng to get rid of today's hatred?"

At this time, Sister Feng had already entered the house, and after hearing Baozan's words, she said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and I've grown up, and I've grown up, and my mouth has become more and more sharp. You dare to ask me to be strong?" The hairpin said: "Where do you dare to be stronger than my sister? It's my sister who is generous and willing to let me go." Sister Feng laughed and said, "Look at the slick tongue. If I don't let you go, won't I become You are a narrow-minded person." He turned to Baochai and said, "Look at the good sister you brought out."

Seeing this, Baochai smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare to take her with me. She would be ashamed to death by what she said. At home, she would even bully her brother. Now that she is here with my sister, she will stay with her for two days. Help our family j□jj□j her, I will thank my sister here for my father, mother and brother."

Sister Feng laughed again and said, "This elder sister never talked like this before, she must have been led to spoil by the second younger sister." Baochai laughed and said, "Exactly." I'm still alive, so I'm wronged like this. When I'm not here, you two will be alone together, and you don't know what to arrange for me." As they spoke, they laughed again.

Afterwards, Sister Feng said that there was still work to be done, and she took Yingchun to watch, and the two left together.Baochai looked at Tanchun and stared at Baozan for a long time, then thought that Baoyu was the one who came, and that Tanchun was not in order because the person who came knew that something was wrong with Baozan, so she thought it was because she was worried about something she had to say, so she didn't dare to say it, so she found an excuse to say it Wanting to look around, Baozan understood and said he didn't want to move.

Seeing this, Tanchun asked Cuimo to take Baochai around, and he stayed here with Baochai.

After Baochai left, Tanchun looked at Baozan, hesitantly said: "Sister Zan, have you ever heard of something that can fly in the sky and carry people?" Baozan laughed and said, "The third sister is talking about an airplane?"
