Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Chapter 40 The First Proposal of Marriage (2)

Jia's mother stared at Jia Lian with wide eyes: "Is what you said true?"

Jia Lian nodded again and again: "It can't be wrong, the second young master of the Bao family got a strange disease a month ago, and he went to all the famous doctors but it didn't help. Let's talk about marriage for the second younger sister, the matchmaker knows the horoscope, so the Bao family knows."

Jia's mother frowned: "You actually married Yingchun to celebrate the wedding. What do you think of the Jia family? We can't accept this marriage."

But Jia Lian said: "Don't worry, old lady. Just think about it. The eminent monk has calculated that the second sister's horoscope is suitable. She must have married and cured the illness of the second young master of the Bao family. Wouldn't the Bao family be grateful to us?" Home? I will also be grateful to my second sister, Dade, this is a sure-fire thing."

Jia's mother hesitated: "In case the second young master really dies, wouldn't Yingchun marry to be a widow?"

Jia Lian shook his head: "I heard that the second young master Bao was suddenly ill and was full of nonsense. Think about it, old lady, isn't it the same as Baoyu and Sister Feng's illness? I'm afraid he is also bewitched. If his health is really bad, it will take so long Why didn't we hear any wind?"

Jia's mother was thoughtful, if she really married Yingchun, it would be a disadvantage to the Jia family, and there must be some benefits to be successful, and the disadvantages cannot be in vain.

When the matchmaker came again, Mother Jia was not as attentive as she was the first time, and she was a little cold: "How did I hear that the second young master of the Bao family is ill?"

The matchmaker was also shrewd, and said with a smile, "I can't hide it from your eyes, old lady. If you want to say that the second young master is really a dragon and a phoenix among people, the fortune-teller approved the horoscope, saying that the second young master's fate is precious, so you have to pay attention to it." Marrying a woman with a strong horoscope and a noble fate is the only way to suppress it. After all the calculations, you have chosen the second girl of your mansion? This is really a match made in heaven. If you don’t believe me, old lady, just go In the palace, please ask Qin Tianjian to calculate the horoscope, if I tell a lie, you will cut off my tongue."

Jia's mother said: "Although our Yingchun is a concubine, it is gentle and pleasant, elegant and well-mannered, which is better than that of a concubine. If we marry, the horoscope can be suppressed, and the husband and wife live well. It is her blessing. If the second young master of the Bao family It’s not good, it’s just our Yingchunke, I can’t take this risk.”

The matchmaker smiled and said: "You love your granddaughter, and we all understand that, but you are always picking and choosing in the capital, do you want to find a better in-law than the Bao family? The girl is the first wife when she marries, and she is not the eldest daughter-in-law who needs to take care of housework , as long as you serve your parents-in-law, you can live a relaxed life, this is to enjoy the blessing."

Mother Jia smiled and shook her head, but she didn't agree, and the matchmaker left disappointed.

Matchmaker Zhang went straight back to Bao's house. Mrs. Bao was waiting anxiously, and when she saw her, she hurriedly asked, "Is there any result?"

Matchmaker Zhang shook her head: "My wife doesn't know, the old lady of the Jia family loves her granddaughter, and knowing that the second young master is not in good health, she is somewhat reluctant."

Mrs. Bao frowned, and said: "Since they have picked a girl from their family, it is their blessing. It's all right to marry happily. What's the meaning of being so stretched now?"

Matchmaker Zhang said with a smile: "Madam, don't be angry either. As parents, it is natural to have these concerns. This is already difficult. We have to find another way. The old lady of the Jia family has more than one granddaughter. I heard that she loves her grandson Jia Baoyu the most. Let's do what we like, how can she delay the future of her grandson for the sake of a concubine's granddaughter?"

Mrs. Bao's face softened, and she ordered the girl beside her, "Go and invite the uncle."

The girl went away in response, Bao Changfei was discussing Bao Changling's prescription with the doctor, and immediately came over upon hearing this, Mrs. Bao asked him: "What kind of friendship do you have with Jia Baoyu from the Jia family?"

Bao Changfei thought for a while, and said: "The second master Jia Lian of the first house of the Jia family often comes to invite me to drink, and I don't have much friendship with Jia Baoyu of the second house."

Mrs. Bao said: "I asked someone to go to the Jia family to propose a marriage, but the Jia family actually pushed back. They clearly wanted some advantage. You think of a way to get Jia Baoyu an errand. I want to see if the old lady of the Jia family agrees."

Bao Changfei said: "It's unbelievable to be happy, and mother doesn't need to care about it."

Mrs. Bao said angrily: "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up. If you want to save your brother, go there quickly." Bao Changfei was a little reluctant, but still hurried out.

As soon as the news of Jia's happy event spread, the happy event turned into a bolt from the blue in an instant. Jia Yingchun's biological mother, Aunt Zhou, cried and begged for Jia's amnesty to take her daughter to celebrate the happy event. Jia Amnesty felt a little bit reluctant, but he Seeing the old lady's appearance, she didn't immediately refuse angrily, but meant to agree, but he, as a son, could still refute whatever the old lady promised.

What's more, he also felt that if he became in-laws with the Bao family, even if he gave up a daughter, it would be a good thing, so he persuaded Aunt Zhou: "Yingchun Mingmei is married, and she is the first wife. Even if the second young master of the Bao family is gone, as long as Yingchun If you are a widow and keep the festival, then the Bao family will have to make a good offering, and maybe you can earn a chastity memorial archway, so don't cry, everything is decided by the old lady."

Aunt Zhou didn't expect Jia Amnesty to say such words, she was stunned for a while, and then left crying.

Jia Yingchun didn't say anything in front of others, but she often wiped tears behind her back. Jia Tanchun and Jia Xichun often accompanied her to grieve together. Lin Daiyu secretly said to Lin Wanru: "If grandma agrees, I'm afraid this matter will not turn around. There is no room left." Lin Wanru felt chilled. Mother Jia was so hesitant because she had taken a fancy to the power of the Bao family. As long as the power of the Bao family was a little attractive, Mother Jia would abandon Yingchun. Speaking of marriage, you can't marry high. Compared with other families, protecting the family is the best choice.

Mother Jia abandoned Yingchun for the Jia family today, will she abandon Lin Daiyu for the Jia family tomorrow?Lin Wanru believed that she would definitely do it when necessary.

A few days later, Matchmaker Zhang came over again, and vaguely mentioned that if Jia's mother agreed to the marriage, the Bao family would find an errand for Jia Baoyu, and the Jia family and Bao's family became in-laws, so the relationship could not be the same day. That's it, when the prince ascends the throne, won't he become a relative of the emperor?

Mother Jia was heartbroken, this time she did not refuse, she accepted the marriage, and wrote the horoscope of Yingchun to Matchmaker Zhang, the horoscope of the two had been married long ago, and at this time it was just a walk As a cutscene, because it was a celebration, the wedding was booked in a hurry, at the end of September.

Wang Xifeng was too busy to touch the ground again, because the object of the marriage was the Bao family, and the Jia family had to show sincerity accordingly. The standard is for the wedding of Yingchun, and the dowry for Yingchun is also changed from 3000 to 36.

Although it was a celebration, but Mother Jia ordered it to be very lively. The list of invited guests, the menu for the banquet, the wedding tents set up everywhere, and the wedding dress for the Spring Festival, it was too late to embroider it herself. The workshop ordered the most gorgeous set, as well as the dowry gold and silver jewelry, jade and antiques, we must not lose the face of Jia's family, we have to prepare carefully one by one.

Jia Yingchun was originally a weak and deceitful character, but she couldn't elope, run away from marriage, insist on not marrying if she wanted to die, and she let the bridesmaids teach the rules obediently, except to wash her face with tears.

Sisters Lin Wanru and the others could do nothing but secretly worry about her. Naturally, no one knew about the private transaction between Jia Mu and the Bao family. Mother coaxed back.

On the day of Jia Yingchun's wedding, Shi Xiangyun also came over. When the sisters talked together, they also secretly regretted Yingchun's marriage, and at the same time they talked about the two young ladies of the Bao family.

Bao Fengyi's three sons and two daughters, the eldest son and the second son are both descendants of concubines, the third son is born of concubines, and the two daughters are also descendants of concubines. She needs to be more majestic, and because she has been spoiled since she was a child, has a strong temper and high vision, and Yingchun is afraid that she will be made things difficult when she marries.

Shi Xiangyun's tone was very disdainful: "But relying on my father's power to put on a prestige, I don't have much ability, but I have to be flattered by others, I don't like this."

Jia Tanchun said: "Anyway, they will be the sisters-in-law of the second sister in the future, and they have to make a good confession, can they still quarrel with them?" Shi Xiangyun stopped talking.

Jia's family had a wedding, and they were married to the Bao's family, so many old relatives came, Lin Wanru and the others were boudoir daughters, so they only helped to receive the unmarried girls from relatives' families in the side hall, chatting and drinking tea.

After seeing off the sedan chair, everyone was led by the girl to sit at the banquet. Today, Jia Mu was wearing a maroon five-bat-holding-clouds beanie, looking much younger and energetic, accepting everyone's congratulations with a smile.

The Jia family and the Bao family climbed into the in-laws. Some people were envious, some were jealous, and some secretly said that the Jia family sold their daughters for glory, but generally speaking, most people were envious.

Because Aunt Shen was a widow, she didn't come to today's banquet. Lin Wanru quietly retreated after sitting for a while, and took the girl to Xunfangzhai to have dinner with Aunt Shen. He jumped out suddenly, startling Lin Wanru.

The following cage smoke scolded: "Which yard are you from? You don't know the rules. Today is a good day for the second girl. There are so many guests here. If you scare the distinguished guests, what can you do?"

The girl saw that it was Lin Wanru, the panic flashed in her eyes, she smiled and said, "Miss Lin, please forgive me, I ran away in a hurry because I wanted to deliver something to my sister." It's Sister Feng's yard, but this girl looks strange, and she doesn't look like a girl in Sister Feng's yard.
