It's not hard to find out,

Soon Wang Xifeng came in to report.

But it turned out that after Xue Pan was sentenced to be executed in prison, Aunt Xue couldn't bear the pain of losing her son and fell ill.Although Xue Baochai is capable,

But after all, it's just a woman,

I had no choice but to write to my cousin for help.

Xue Biao's father and Xue Baochai's father are from the same mother, so the two families are the closest relatives.

Xue Biao has a younger sister named Xue Baoqin, who has been engaged to the son of Mei Hanlin's family since she was a child.The girl is not too young now,

The Xue family intends to go to Beijing to find Mei Hanlin's family to complete this marriage contract.

Unexpectedly, the world is impermanent and people's hearts are changeable. The master of the Mei family did not pass the Jinshi examination back then.

Set up a girl from Xue's family for his son,

It also depends on the identities of the Xue family's four major families.

Back then, the Xue family's power in Jinling was no less powerful than that of a prefect.So this marriage was proposed by the Mei family.

But ten years have passed by in a hurry,

Now the current situation of the two families is completely different, and the Xue family fell very quickly.The only young master of the direct lineage was sentenced to death.I didn't see other families reaching out to help.And Mr. Mei not only won the Jinshi, but also entered the Hanlin Academy. Naturally, the Mei family looked down on the Xue family.

The Mei family has not contacted the Xue family once in these years, and even when Xue Biao's father passed away, they only sent a thin funeral ceremony.The Xue family may not be unaware of changes in this marriage.But as long as the marriage lasts,

Xue Biao had to bring his sister to Beijing.

"Which family is this Mei Hanlin?" Mother Jia couldn't see that the Mei family had no intention of fulfilling this marriage at all.

"It's just a compilation of the Imperial Academy, a sixth-rank official position." Wang Xifeng didn't take the Mei family seriously at all.

Jia Jue thought for a while,

no impression

After all, he didn't stay in the Imperial Academy for long, and the officials of the Imperial Academy didn't make a good impression on him.

"Second sister-in-law,

Is the Xue family trying to use the power of the Jia family to intimidate the Mei family? "Zhaoyang listened intently on the side.

"It should mean something like that,

As long as the marriage between Miss Xue and Brother Bao can be successful, there will be no problem with the marriage between the Mei family and that girl from the Xue family. "The Mei family has a hundred guts and dare not offend the Jia family.

"Isn't the Xue family afraid that their girl will be bullied by her husband's family after marrying in?" Zhaoyang felt that if it was her, the engagement would be terminated immediately.

Kicked the Mei family.

Wang Xifeng smiled,

did not speak.

The third sibling is a princess, so naturally they don't know the truth inside.The current situation of the Xue family, whether it is the Jia family or the Mei family, is already the best choice for them.

If Xue Baochai can enter the door, even though Jia Baoyu is white,

But he is the younger brother of Concubine Shu after all.There will be no less prosperity and wealth in the future.Moreover, Xue Baochai knew the nature of the other members of the Jia family, and with her abilities, she would naturally be able to gain a firm foothold in the Jia family by spending some time and effort.

The best thing is that now Mrs. Wang is unconscious, Xue Baochai doesn't even have to worry about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Such a good choice, no wonder the Xue family is unwilling to let go.

And as long as Xue Baochai married into Jia's family, Xue Baoqin's marriage would be almost stable. As for after marriage, as long as Xue Baoqin came to Jia's family to look for Xue Baochai a few times, the Mei family would only curry favor with her.

Besides, even if you marry someone else, it may not be smooth after marriage.Although Jia Baoyu is incapable of writing, she has a good personality, especially for pretty girls, she really has no temper at all.Such Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai don't need to spend too much thought to win people over.

Jia Jue and Zhaoyang ate dinner at Mother Jia's place, and then slowly returned to the Princess Mansion.

"Sir, do you think this girl from the Xue family can marry into the Rongguo Mansion as she wishes?" Zhaoyang also heard about this girl Xue, and heard it several times when communicating with Sanchun Lin Daiyu.It is said that she is well behaved in every way, with the demeanor of Lian's second sister-in-law.

"Should be able to, it depends on what the old lady wants." Jia Baoyu is now too low or high, although he is the younger brother of Concubine Shu, but he is white.And after all, he is the concubine's younger brother.

Noble girls from high families would look down on him, and those from low family backgrounds would only marry as Tu Jia Jue. After all, Concubine Shu was only a harem woman and could not help much in officialdom.Let alone Jia Juele's displeasure, even Jia Mu's disapproval.

So Xue Baochai is not without advantages.

After all, she has lived in Jia's family for so many years, and everyone knows her character and appearance.With her shrewdness, Jia Baoyu will not suffer in the future.

Secondly, Jia Baoyu was the second son of the second son, and according to the family division rules at this time, he could not get much property.Living in the capital is not easy, the Jia family will always be separated in the future, and as the second son Jia Baoyu will always be separated separately.Xue Baochai's dowry is generous, and with these things in the future, the two of them will not worry about money.

With Jia Jue and Concubine Shu around, plus Xue Baochai's dowry, even if Jia Baoyu spent his whole life as a rich and idle person, there would be no problem at all.

Mother Jia is the most sensible, and she must have thought of these things.

Things were just as Jia Jue thought, and in the end Jia's mother agreed to the marriage with Xue's family.

Because Aunt Xue's health was extremely bad, the marriage was done hastily.Naturally, the scale of the wedding cannot be compared with that of Jia Jue.On the second day, Jia Jue led Zhaoyang to meet Xue Baochai who hadn't seen him for a long time.

I just feel that Xue Baochai has become more calm and disciplined, and his every move is like everyone else's.Talking with Jia's mother is also intentionally or unintentionally flattering.

Zhaoyang is even more polite, warm and thoughtful.

Jia Jue looked at Jia Baoyu, who was dressed in bright red, still looking childish.Jia Jue shook his head, ignorance is also a blessing.

In the following month, Jia Jue attended Jia Yingchun's wedding again.This time at the wedding, Jia Jue, as her natal brother-in-law, made things difficult for Liu Xianglian.

Wei Ruolan brought Shi Xiangyun to participate. He still had a sick look on his face, but the figure that flashed in his eyes from time to time told others that it was just his disguise.

Back from Liu's house, Shi Xiangyun was a little absent-minded along the way.

"What's the matter, lady? But you're not feeling well?" Wei Ruolan asked with concern.

"No, I'm fine. I'm just a little envious of the second sister. Since childhood, the third brother has been closest to the fourth sister. But the second sister is his own sister after all. It looks different."

The third brother has always been gentle, but also cold.Unlike Baoyu, he is different from everyone else.

"Everyone has relatives and estrangements, and the son-in-law also has a brother-sister relationship with his wife. Otherwise, the husband would have died long ago." Wei Ruolan comforted Shi Xiangyun with a smile.

"Sir, what nonsense are you talking about, bah bah!" Shi Xiangyun's attention immediately shifted to Wei Ruolan.

The smile on Wei Ruolan's face became brighter.

Meijia

"What! Didn't you say, master, that this marriage was postponed beforehand?" Mrs. Mei's expression was not good.

"What are you delaying! The Jia family has already married the girl from the Xue family, why is your son more valuable than the grandson of the duke's mansion." Mrs. Mei's tone was not kind, and it was this ignorant woman who was holding her back. .

"It's still two yards. Our son is the eldest son, a scholar, and married the daughter of a merchant. How can he hold his head up outside in the future." Mrs. Mei was extremely unwilling.

She had already taken a fancy to the daughter of the Qian family's prostitute, a member of the household department.If the master didn't allow her to call off the engagement, she would have called off this improper marriage a long time ago.

What the master said, I delayed it first, thinking that she didn't know what it meant.

The flowering period of the girl's family is limited, and their family can afford to wait if they are sons.When the Xue family voluntarily withdraws from the engagement, it will not harm their reputation.

"Hmph, you think I don't know what you and the wife of the Qian family are talking about in secret. You can go and ask now to see if she dares to marry you." The son-in-law of the Jia family is the right servant of the household department. It is not a matter of saying that Yuanwailang of the fifth grade wears small shoes.

He doesn't even need to say anything, just put on a look of displeasure, and some people guess what he means to deal with the Qian family.

The same is true for their Mei family.

Mrs. Mei was in the Hanlin Academy, and she had seen with her own eyes how Cao Shidao, who had been at odds with Jia Jue, was reduced to the ruin of his family.He is just a small editor, and Jia Jue's dealing with him is easier than crushing an ant.

If Jia Jue knew what Master Mei was thinking, he would definitely complain.What Cao Shi said was not because he offended him, but because he was on the wrong team.

Mrs. Mei didn't believe it at first, but when she met the wife of the Qian family, she found that it was true as Mrs. Mei said, and Mrs. Qian no longer talked about the marriage between the two families.On the contrary, I was very happy to tell Mrs. Mei that my daughter had already found a husband's family.

Such a result made Mrs. Mei very angry and depressed, but she couldn't tell the tacit thing. After all, it was her family who told him about other marriages when her son was engaged. The reputation of the Mei family will be ruined.

"Don't make trouble anymore. Do you want to make trouble until I lose my official position?" Mrs. Mei reprimanded Mrs. Mei who refused to give up.

"But……"

"No, but, if you feel uncomfortable with Mrs. Guan, you can go back to your hometown." Mrs. Mei was completely impatient with the yellow-faced woman.

Master Mei came from a poor family, and was already in his 30s when he passed the examination.So Mrs. Mei's background is average, she is the daughter of a scholar.In the past few years, the wife of an official feels that she is superior to others.

It's just that in the capital city, a sixth-grade Xiuzhuan is nothing at all.

Mrs. Mei directly ordered to prepare for the marriage of the eldest son, and the Xue family finally received a letter of approval from the Mei family.

"Big sister is right. As long as she marries into Jia's family, my younger sister's marriage will definitely be possible." Xue Biao looked happily at Mei's dowry.

"Sister, what's the matter with you, why are you unhappy?" Xue Biao came to find Xue Baoqin excitedly, but found that her sister looked sullen.

"It's okay, I'm just a little reluctant to part with my brother." Xue Baoqin didn't want her brother to worry, and after she got married, her brother would return to Jinling soon, after all, her mother was still at home.

"Girls always want to get married. Fortunately, the eldest sister is also in the capital. In the future, you and the eldest sister should walk around more and support each other."

"I know, brother, don't worry."
