Drunk in the Red Chamber Lying on Beauty's Lap

After Daiyu got married, Rongguo Mansion resumed its busy life.

The daily expenses range from a few hundred taels to a few thousand taels, which makes Sister Feng very worried.

Finally, Mrs. Wang was not stingy this time, and kept taking out ladders from her storeroom to replenish them, which allowed Baoyu's wedding preparations to proceed in an orderly manner.

On this day, Jia Mu was leaning on the brocade couch, half covered with a quilt decorated with peonies.

Yuanyang sat on the side, gently helping Jia Mu to beat her legs.

The aroma from the incense cauldron neutralizes the sporadic smell of charcoal fire in the air.

The orange-red soft curtain was raised, and Yuanyang looked up, only to see Mrs. Wang walking in gently.

Yuanyang hurriedly got up to salute, and Jiamu opened her slightly closed eyes and glanced at Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang saw what Mother Jia was asking, and said, "Wake up the old lady!"

Jia Mu helped Yuanyang's hand to sit up, "I didn't fall asleep at first, so I'm here now for something?"

Mrs. Wang sighed and said, "I have something to discuss with the old lady. Baochai from the Xue family and Daiyu from the Lin family are already married, and Miss Yun from the Shi family also has a family. The emperor valued her and made an engagement with Princess Chaoyang. The second and third girls in our family should think about it too?"

Jia Mu took the teacup from Yuanyang, took a sip of the tea, and said, "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

Mrs. Wang frowned, and said: "Isn't it just yesterday that I was a guest at Uncle Dongshun's house? Mrs. Uncle Dongshun asked about the situation at home, and said that Yingchun, the elder sister, was not married, and Baoyu, the younger brother, wanted to marry." Get married first."

Jia's mother snorted coldly, "Yingchun is a girl from the big house and a concubine. How can she compare with Baoyu?"

Mrs. Wang sighed: "I think so in my heart too, but people outside don't know. We don't have a separate family in our house. Yingchun is also Baoyu's sister. There are many people outside. Reputation also gets in the way."

Mother Jia stroked the hairpin on her head, and said flatly, "I know about this matter."

Speaking of which, Yingchun's age is indeed not young, it is time to get married.It's just that Baoyu is going to get married in March next year, and he has to be ahead of Baoyu, but he can't be too improvised. It's really hard to find such a family.

When Baoyu came back from Shuirong, he heard Xiren say that the old lady and the wife were looking after the second girl.

Baoyu is a little worried that Yingchun will fall into the hands of Zhongshan wolf again, so he has to ask Tu Fei and Shui Rong to find a way.

Tu Fei and Shui Rong looked at the roster in Baoyu's hand, secretly amused.Unexpectedly, Baoyu had such a thing in his hand.

Tu Fei looked at the names above one by one, and when he saw the name of Gongsun Pu, the concubine of Marquis Dingbei, he nodded and said, "This guy is not bad."

When Baoyu saw that she was a member of the Hou family or a concubine, he couldn't help but shook his head, "My second sister is too dull-tempered, how can she marry into the Hou family? I think it's better to find a small official with a simple family background. "

Tu Fei laughed and said: "You are wishful thinking. The old lady in the Rongguo Mansion is notoriously arrogant. Ordinary officials of the sixth and seventh ranks want to marry a girl from the Rongguo Mansion. Isn't it because they are full? Is it? Your old lady will be happy?"

Baoyu thinks it seems to be true.No one from Yingchun and the others has come to propose marriage so far. It must be because they seldom go out to socialize, and outsiders don't know that there are two girls of the right age in the mansion.Secondly, it should be people from a similar family background who look down on them.If the door is too low, and you dare not climb high, will no one come to the door if you come and go?

"Is this Gongsun Pu really good?" Baoyu looked at Shui Rong, seeking affirmation.

Shui Rong laughed at the side and said, "This person is just like your older sister, she is also a bit dull. Now she is compiling books in the Imperial Academy and receiving a meager salary. The most important point is that the sons of Marquis Dingbei have already been divided. Home, there won't be too many complicated things."

Baoyu was still a little hesitant, and he didn't get anxious until he heard Jia She mentioned Sun Shaozu after he went back.Regardless of the time being too late, he rushed to the Beijing Prince's Mansion again in a hurry, urging Shui Rong to persuade Dingbeihou's Mansion to propose marriage as soon as possible.

Water-soluble work is naturally reliable.

Although Mrs. Dingbeihou has three sons, she has never treated Gongsun Pu who is not her own.It's just that Gongsun Pu's birth mother passed away since he was a child, and his temperament is a little different from ordinary people.He buried himself in books all day long, and didn't care about his marriage at all.

Seeing that he will be twenty next year, if he delays any longer, his reputation will be a bit bad.

Just at this time, the news of a school-age girl in the Rongguo Mansion reached her ears intentionally or unintentionally.

She inquired about it, and found that this girl has a gentle temperament and is kind to others. She is the kindest girl.I found an opportunity to visit once, and saw that the girls in the mansion were all very good.The second girl was even more gentle and gentle, she was a perfect match with Gongsun Pu, so she couldn't help thinking about getting married.

Dingbeihou's mansion and Rongguo's mansion had never met before. This time Mrs. Dingbeihou came to visit in person. Although she didn't say much, they are both very thoughtful people. How could they not understand each other's meaning?

Dingbei Hou is not Baoling Hou Shi Nai or Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding, who has a title but no official position.Now he is guarding the northeast frontier, and he has more than a hundred thousand sons under his command, and he is the well-deserved Marquis of Dingbei.

The Rongguo Mansion is not as good as it used to be. Although Yuan Chungui is a concubine and Baoyu is going to marry a princess, there is no one in the court after all.Now that Mrs. Dingbeihou revealed the intention of marriage, how could the Jia family not be overjoyed?

Although the Gongsun Pu who was going to marry was not born to Mrs. Dingbeihou, he was raised by her, so naturally there will be a three-point friendship.Furthermore, Gongsun Pu is not some unprofessional playboy, he was also a second-class Jinshi back then.It was only because of his personality that he stayed in the Hanlin Academy to study.

To be married to such a person is to say that it is still a high-spirited spring.

With Jia's mother's approval, Dingbei Hou Mansion invited a matchmaker to come to propose marriage not long after.

When the news spread to the garden, Yingchun couldn't help being teased by the two younger sisters.

It's just that Xichun is young, and her words are only full of blessings, while Tanchun is more about her expectations and longing for her future when she laughs and greets the spring.

In her opinion, Yingchun is inferior to her in terms of appearance, character, talent and so on.Now that even Yingchun can marry into the Dingbei Hou Mansion, her future should not be too bad.
