The Heart of the Red Chamber

Jia Baoyu's Hundred Days is still very grand, and the Jia family has never known what it means to be low-key.Mrs. Sun came back and told Wang Ren that for such a precious hundred days, the Jia family hosted a banquet for a group of dignitaries including four princes and eight princes, plus a lot of small officials who came to cater to them, as well as various relatives and friends of the Jia family. Shanda catches up with the time when Jia Daishan celebrated his birthday.Of course, another group of people gathered around to watch the piece of jade brought by the fallen grass. No matter whether they were sincere, admiring or slandering, in a word, everyone was praising Jia Baoyu's extraordinary origin, and there must be good luck in the future. , boasted that the members of Jia's family were like walking on clouds, and almost forgot who he was!

Jia Baoyu's hundred days have passed, and Jia Zhu's marriage has also been put on the agenda.According to Mrs. Wang's thinking, her son is like heaven and earth, and she is afraid of being wronged by a princess. With the addition of Jia Baoyu, who was born with the title of jade, her self-confidence has swelled to the point of thinking My whole family has descended from immortals, so I picked and picked. This one thinks it is not gentle and beautiful enough, that one thinks its family background is not high enough to be worthy of the Duke's family status, this one thinks its family property is not rich, and the dowry must be thin , and that one dislikes being too thin, which is not good for offspring... If she hadn't had some sense and was just asking around in private, she would have offended everyone like Quan Chang'an.

In addition, her husband, Jia Zheng, has never been on the same channel as her. One of the biggest regrets in Jia Zheng's life is that he did not pass the imperial examination to become an official. The position of Wuilang, a member of the Ministry of Industry of the fifth rank, is struggling. Therefore, the requirement for his son is to study and take the imperial examination. Of course, correspondingly, the requirement for his in-laws is to pass on incense to his family. Read genes!Therefore, while Mrs. Wang was still picking and choosing, Jia Zheng had already made a decision on his future daughter-in-law, who was indeed the daughter of Li Shouzhong, Jijiu of the Imperial College.

When Jia Zhu was in the Guozijian, Li Shouzhong valued this good-looking, hard-working, and non-playful student, and he didn't know when he wanted to betroth his daughter who was waiting in the boudoir. Zheng also hoped that his daughter-in-law would be sensible, and that his family could also establish a relationship with the civil servants. Naturally, the two hit it off, and the two big men agreed verbally, and then went to find their wives to prepare related matters.

After Mrs. Wang heard about it, her breath was almost stuck in her throat. In her opinion, the Guozijian Jijiu was just a civil servant from the fourth rank. She calculated it in her heart, and found that this condition was not as good as her niece Wang Xiluan!She reluctantly twitched the corners of her mouth, showing a somewhat stiff smile: "Master, why did you decide on Zhu'er's marriage so quickly? The Li family is certainly good, not to mention the population, and the family's wealth is a bit thin. Zhu'er is now Juren, if you pass the examination in two years, you will naturally be able to choose a better one, and the old lady has been talking about choosing a good one for Zhuer!"

Jia Zheng didn't pay attention to his wife's expression, and said with a bit of indifference: "A woman's opinion! Li Jiaxiang's heir, Brother Shouzhong is also Zhu'er's teacher, and he is quite famous in the Qingliu. Zhu'er will try in the future. If you are an official, you still have to rely on your middle brother to give advice. The old lady will definitely agree!"

Mrs. Wang cursed her husband and mother-in-law secretly, and finally managed to put on a kind smile: "What the master said is, I will discuss it with the old lady tomorrow and find someone to go to the Li family to propose marriage!"

Jia Zheng nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "It's night, you should rest first, I'll go see Aunt Zhao!"

Mrs. Wang almost clenched her back molars, that bitch!However, he had to put on a virtuous and generous look on his face, and said insincerely: "Aunt Zhao is now five or six months old, and this is the first time she is pregnant. It is normal for the master to go and see!" Let that bitch abort, kill two dead, so as not to be an eyesore!

Jia Zheng didn't know whether he really didn't know or if he didn't know. He said "huh" and gave Mrs. Wang another heavy blow: "According to Aunt Zhao, she has been so heavy recently that she can't even stand up. It’s common sense for you to open the curtains and fans for you, but Aunt Zhao is pregnant anyway, and the heirs are the most important thing! Let her treat you well in the past few months and go back to raise the baby!”

"Why do I have to ask her to serve me? There are so many maidservants in the family, why is she missing!" Mrs. Wang's hands covered under the sleeves had blue veins popping out, and almost broke her well-maintained nails. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Since the master said so, let her have a good life in the next few months, and spread the branches and leaves for our Jia family, so there is no need to come to pay her respects!"

Jia Zheng nodded, and got up to see his concubine. Mrs. Tuliu Wang was so angry that she wished she could swallow Aunt Zhao alive.

Not to mention how Mrs. Wang waited beside Shi Taijun the next day, using her husband's theory to persuade the old lady about the advantages and necessity of marrying the daughter of the Li family. it's time.

Wang Xiluan's fiancé, Xie Lang, took the same provincial examination as Jia Zhu. Of course, Xie Lang's ranking is much better than Jia Zhu's, and he is in the top ten. After studying hard for a few years, he will be a teenager again. Jinshi, this is not an ordinary potential stock, it is already a rich man who is rising in value.Xie Lang is now considered to be on the gold list, and with the bridal chamber festive candles, it can be considered a double happiness. The two families have already set a date for the seventh day of October. At this moment, the Xie family has already made an appointment, and the Wang family is also preparing to show their dowry.

Mrs. Shi is almost grinning from ear to ear these days. On the one hand, she is nervously checking the dowry of her eldest daughter. She is almost picky about the quality of the dowry. She has to choose things that have auspicious meanings, and she knows that her in-laws’ family He is a family heir of poetry and etiquette, and even spared no expense to collect antique paintings and stuff them into his daughter's dowry.On the other hand, she is also strengthening her daughter's pre-marital education, tirelessly telling her how to handle her husband's heart, and how to make those concubines behave and behave. She doesn't expect her daughter to be a couple for life. Sit firmly in the position of the mistress of the house, and have healthy and promising sons and daughters by your side.Of course, you can't let go of beating the dowry maids. If you don't know whether your daughter will not be able to give birth to a son like her, you can't wait to pour a bowl of sterilization medicine on several dowry maids in advance.

Even if Wang Ziteng is not considered to be a great success nowadays, he is still a figure in the heart of Jane. , that's so impressive, it's almost embarrassing, because Xie Lin's eldest son, Xie Lin's wife, Wu, only carried the dowry at 64 when she came in, so naturally Wang Xiluan couldn't surpass his elder sister-in-law, so, The Wang family's dowry is only [-] lifts, but each lift is full.With the Yishui red sandalwood furniture painted with gold and carved patterns, who wouldn't say that the Wang family's daughter's dowry is decent!

On the day of Wang Xiluan's wedding, God was very kind, the sky was clear and the breeze was blowing, Wang Xiluan wore a bright red wedding dress, sat on eight sedan chairs, and walked around half of Chang'an City. Since then, he has officially become a member of the Xie family.
