Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

As a good master with clear rewards and punishments, Jia Rong felt that she should reward Wu Ya and Cheng Yang well. This information ability is simply unparalleled, because Xue Baochai just entered the capital not long ago, and he had been in Jinling before. He thought it would take a few days to inquire about Xue Baochai, but what he didn't expect was that in just one day, Xue Baochai's affairs from childhood to adulthood had already been placed before his eyes.

Speaking of which, there is nothing unusual about Xue Baochai's information. Like many daughters of wealthy families, she grew up in a deep boudoir and was served by a group of women and maids. educate.She is the most standard woman in this era, dignified and stable, gentle and honest, open-minded and magnanimous.

Speaking of which, there is nothing worthy of special attention.

If the biggest difference between her and others is that she lost her father when she was young and saw the dangers of human nature, which made her more resolute and calculating than others.

What's more, her body is not in good condition. When she was born, her body was poisoned with heat, which even affected her life safety at one time, and she almost died of it when she was young.But later a traveling doctor prescribed a strange prescription, which stabilized her illness.Still use it to this day.

Jia Rong flipped through this document, and frowned involuntarily.This Xue Baochai looked no different.Except that Xue's family did not go to Beijing, the rest are similar to what he understood in the script.

If so, what went wrong?

The Xue family did not come to the capital a few years ago and lived in the Rongguo Mansion as the script said.Xue Baochai only saw Jia Baoyu once yesterday, and she didn't show anything unusual.For a woman like Xue Baochai, the nonsense of falling in love at first sight will never happen to her.So he can say with certainty that, to Xue Baochai, Jia Baoyu is probably just her cousin.

"Master, is there anything wrong with the girl from the Xue family's information?" Seeing that Jia Rong was holding Xue Baochai's information, she frowned and said nothing, Wu Ya thought for a while before asking.

In other words, he still doesn't know until now, why did his master ask them to check the life of this girl from the Xue family for no reason?Maybe it's because the wife hasn't conceived for a long time, so the master thought of taking Miss Xue.But this is not right either!The relationship between the Xue family girl and the Rongguo Mansion is too close. Seriously, she is a generation higher than the master.

Accepting an 'elder' into the mansion doesn't look like his master's style of doing things.

Jia Rong might as well be thinking so nastyly in Wu Ya's heart, if he knows, he must be taught a lesson, so now he just nodded and said, "Not really. It's just that I feel a little strange in my heart."

Although the Xue family was also one of the four major families, he didn't think it was the family of historians, the Wang family and the Jia family, but the family of officials, and his family was just a family of merchants.Although it is said that he is an imperial merchant, his status is a little bit higher than that of ordinary merchants.But to put it bluntly, it is still a merchant, and its status is much worse than the other three.It is the end of the four families.

What's more, Father Xue, who was the head of the Xue family, died too early.His son Xue Pan is a standard dude who plays with cats and dogs. He has no talent in literature and martial arts, and he has no talent in business.As soon as Xue's father passed away, the Xue family's property shrank by half due to competition from rivals.Besides Xue Pan's lack of ability, the other houses of Xue's family also took advantage of the fire to rob, and also took a lot of things.

The current property of the Xue family is actually only a few fixed villages and shops rented out to others. As for their own shops, except for a few foundation properties, which cannot be sold, they are guarded by the family's loyal servants.However, although it is much worse than when Father Xue was there, because other properties were sold off in time after Father Xue passed away, and with Wang Ziteng's name, they really sold a lot of money.Enough for Xue Pan to squander his whole life.

and many more……

He knew something was wrong.

The lineage of the eldest family of the Xue family is similar to that of the Ningguo Mansion in that they are all withered.In Father Xue's generation, there were still two brothers, but Father Xue only had Xue Pan, an incompetent dude son, and Xue Baochai, a daughter.

Xue Pan's title of 'Stay Overlord', even though he didn't pay special attention to it here, he had heard about it.Furthermore, he had mentioned it in the scriptures he had read.Xue Pan, who lost his father when he was young, and was indulged by his widowed mother, Aunt Xue, became extravagant and arrogant when he was five years old.Although he also went to school, but because he was impatient, he only knew a few words, and he only had to fight cocks and horses, and travel around the mountains and rivers all day long.Although he is an imperial merchant, he is completely ignorant of economic affairs, but thanks to the old friendship of his great-grandfather in the past, his family has a false name in the household department and receives money and food.

Since Xue Pan is such an unmotivated dude.Aunt Xue is also a weak and incompetent person who only spoils children.

If this is the case, then after Xue's father passed away, only Xue Baochai was the one who decided to deal with the sale of the Xue family's property.She is a smart woman.

Thinking of this, Jia Rong showed a subtle smile unexpectedly.Put the information in his hand into the stove, and said: "Wu Ya, find a way to plant a nail beside Mrs. Xue. It's better to have some words. Be careful when you act, and you must not be noticed by others." Now." Speaking of which, Xue Baochai is such an intelligent woman.

As far as he knew, the four major families were discussing about sending someone into the palace.That's right, originally Jia Yuanchun was one of the candidates. He endured for more than ten years and became a noble concubine in one fell swoop, but now Jia Yuanchun is only the seventh prince... no... already the concubine of Prince Ke's mansion, and even the head of the seventh prince's concubine. Can't lift it up.

When the new emperor came to the throne, among the four major families, except for the prince Teng of the Wang family who was shrewd, he remained neutral all the time and did not get involved in the fight for the throne.The other three families, including the Xue family, all lined up separately.

He wanted to send his own girl into the palace and support her, so that she could take care of her a little when the new Emperor Qianyuan settled the accounts in the future.

Now Jia Yuanchun has no possibility.Then the best candidate is Xue Baochai.

Although the other families also have smart girls of the right age, Xue Baochai is the only one who is the best.There is no one in the family, only a helpless elder brother and a weak widowed mother.Compared with others, it is naturally easier to handle.

"Yes." Wu Ya answered.

Here, Jia Rong asked Wu Ya to inquire about the Xue family and Xue Baochai, while Xue Baochai also asked people to inquire about Jia Rong's affairs.Of course, although it is not comparable to Jia Rong's in terms of speed or quality, Ying'er next to Xue Baochai is also a capable person, and some things about Jia Rong are not confidential. There is no need to go to Ningguo Mansion to inquire at all, just a little bit of care, the streets are full of news about him.In addition, when Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang wrote letters on weekdays, she also said "bad things" and complained about Jia Rong.Although Xue Baochai only met Mrs. Wang once in his life, when he first came to Beijing.But in her previous life, she knew enough about Mrs. Wang.What's more, that meeting made her sure that Mrs. Wang was still the Mrs. Wang she remembered.

She knew exactly what she could and couldn't listen to.

Some are useful, some are useless, some are true and some are false, they just need to be filtered.

Although Yinger didn't have that talent, Xue Baochai was smart and thoughtful, and she was best at peeling cocoons.While it can't guarantee 100% accuracy, it's pretty much the same.

"Although Mr. Rong from Dongfu said he has a bad temper and is violent, he would shout and kill if he disagreed with him. However, he is strict in family management, the family population is simple, and he has been married for more than two years. Uncle Rong gave birth to a son and a half daughter, and he still only guards Grandma Rong alone. There is not even a housemaid around him. He is also a rare infatuated person. Therefore, even though Uncle Rong is married, there are still some The young lady who has never left the court regards Uncle Rong as her dream husband." Ying'er said with a smile.

Xue Baochai frowned when she heard Ying'er's words. The Jia Rong she had now was exactly the same as the Jia Rong in her memory who was flirting with cats and dogs. place.

It seems that the people in Rongguo Mansion she knows are more or less different from what she remembers, and it is very likely that it is caused by this different Jia Rong.Could it be that Jia Rong, like himself, is a reborn person.That's why there has been such a big change in temperament.

If this is the case, I hope that the reborn Jia Rong will not have any adverse effects on their family.

"Girl, what are you thinking?" Ying'er asked Xue Baochai who had been silent for a long time.

Could it be that the girl is also interested in Uncle Rong?But in terms of seniority, the girl is a generation higher than Uncle Rong.If the girl has thoughts about Uncle Rong, it may not be easy for her to do so.

Just when Yinger's brain was wide open, Xue Baochai also came back to his senses here, and said with his head sideways: "It's nothing. By the way, Yinger, you go to Shuangrui and Shuangshou to tell them a few words, so that they can watch happily." Brother, this place is no better than Jinling. There are many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, if you accidentally bump into a nobleman, I'm afraid it won't be settled with some money."

"Yes, girl." Ying'er said right away with blessings.

Xue Baochai thought for a while and said, "By the way, is mother back?"

"The wife said that she won't be back until after lunch. Looking at the time, I'm afraid it will take a while to come back. The girl has something important to say to the wife. If it's urgent, why don't you send someone here to let the wife come back?" " Ying'er thought for a while and said.

"It's not necessary. But let the maids pay more attention, and when the wife comes back, let someone tell me immediately." Xue Baochai thought for a while, waved his hand, and said so.It's not important for her to find her mother, it's because of her brother's business.If I didn't think of it just now, it's fine, but now that I think of it, I have to mention it more.Sheng's brother didn't even know that he had offended anyone.

In her previous life, her Xue family was the only one who ended up in such a miserable situation, and her elder brother might not have been an asshole who offended so many people unknowingly.Otherwise, when her family was in trouble, there wouldn't be so many people she knew or didn't know who would make trouble.

"Yes." Ying'er immediately responded with a salute.

Jia Rong asked Wu Ya to inquire about Xue Baochai's response, just because the abnormality of Xue's family caught his attention.But what he didn't expect was that because of this incident, there was a big or small disturbance in Ningguo Mansion.It was precisely because of this that Jia Rong felt at ease with Gu Qingrong, and took back half of it.

Previously, Jia Rong ordered Wu Ya to inquire about Xue Baochai, although he had already told him to be careful, but because the Ningguo Mansion at this time was Jia Rong's one-word house, probably because of too much confidence, Jia Rong also There is no more request for Wu Ya.

Therefore, after Wu Ya reported the situation to Jia Rong, and he had accumulated a lot of doubts in his heart, it was completely impossible to expect Jia Rong to answer her doubts, so when he left the courtyard, Afterwards, he muttered to himself, "Could it be that the uncle asked about the girl from the Xue family, and he really fell in love with her."

It was such a coincidence that Wu Ya's words were heard clearly by Gu Qingrong's nanny Jin Mama who was just about to enter the yard.

Mother Jin is Gu Qingrong's nanny, and she watched Gu Qingrong grow up since she was a child. When Gu Qingrong married into the Ningguo Mansion, she saw that Jia Rong was such an outstanding person, and she was already an excellent minister when she was less than [-] years old. I know how many people say that Gu Qingrong is not good enough for Jia Rong, not to mention that Gu Qingrong has been married to Jia Rong for almost three years. After getting such news, how can she not tell Gu Qingrong.

But before she could tell Gu Qingrong, when she muttered to herself, she was heard by her daughter Fanglin.This Fang Lin is also a maid with a big heart and a little bit of cleverness. After learning the news, her eyes flickered and she said, "Mother, do you want to tell grandma the news?"

"Of course." Mother Jin looked at her daughter with some puzzlement and nodded.

Fang Lin narrowed her eyes, lowered her voice unpredictably, and said, "Mother, I'm afraid you'll be dissatisfied with grandma if I let someone ask about Miss Xue's affairs?"

Mother Jin was shocked when she heard it, and asked repeatedly: "What do you mean?"

"Mother, it's not that I want to talk about grandma here. It's the fact that the situation is like this. It's just that grandma has been married to the uncle for more than two years, and she has never been pregnant. The uncle is the only child in the house. How can an heir do it. My uncle is asking people to inquire about Miss Xue's affairs, I'm afraid he has other thoughts." Fang Lin said with twinkling eyes.

When Mother Jin heard Fanglin's words, she sighed and said, "Hey, what you said is true. But so what? In the end, Grandma is weak." The uncle is the only seedling of Fufu, and he doesn't want it anywhere. have sons.If grandma can't give birth to a son, her position in the mansion will not be secure for a day.Now let Wu Ya, who is useful by his side, go over and inquire about the Xue family girl, fearing that seeing her grandma's protracted infertility, she has thoughts of taking a concubine.

Thinking of Jia Rong's outstanding appearance, Fang Lin blushed immediately, and her voice was a little shy, "Instead of asking Grandpa to find a woman from outside, it's better to let grandma strike first. Lifting my trustworthy In this way, even if a child is born in the future, the position of grandma will not be threatened, and the position of grandma can be stabilized."

Although Jin's mother is not a very smart person, she knows her daughter very well. Hearing her talk shyly and seeing her blushing, how can she not understand, she was shocked immediately, "Lin'er, you treat the uncle... ?”

Fang Lin blushed and nodded: "Mother..." Since the first time she saw the uncle, she has been thinking about it. The uncle is so outstanding, how can she not be tempted.Besides, which man would spend his whole life with one person, her mother was the grandmother's nurse, and she also grew up with the girl, and she was also loyal to the girl. Being the uncle's aunt is not much better than some unknown people.
