Old things in the Red Chamber

In the past few days, Jia Baoyu has completely lost the aura of the past. People who know him at home say that he is already stupid. This is undoubtedly a painful thing for Shi Taijun.

After someone Shi Taijun came up with a happy idea, this method was recognized by many people, but some problems appeared when it was implemented.Not to mention that in the eyes of some people of equal status, even the daughters of some small officials' families would not marry Jia Baoyu.

At that time, a fifth-rank official named Dong, who knew heroes with insight, married his daughter to the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, who was still in the humble, and later relied on his son-in-law to rise to the top in the capital. Married, almost no contact, this gave many small officials a good head start, marrying a girl to someone with potential is better than giving a girl to a wealthy family as a concubine.When it was Jia Baoyu's turn, the meaning of many people's reluctance to marry someone to him was very clear. Jia Baoyu was already a fool. Who would want to push their children into the fire pit? .

Shi Taijun had almost turned gray during this period of time. She cried and cried, and went to the place where she should beg for help, but the effect was not good. Baoyu was in a daze all day long, and Mrs. Wang only knew how to cry. My mind is on my grandson.

If you want to celebrate the child, you can't buy a girl, so the Jia family's face will be completely lost and cannot be picked up.At this time, Mrs. Wang hurriedly told Shi Taijun how good Xue Baochai was, how virtuous she was... In desperation, Shi Taijun gritted his teeth and confessed.

Xue Baochai moved out from the Grand View Garden. At this time, the two families were not particular about it at all. The matchmaker was looking for relatives who lived in the house. On the last good day, they took Xue Baochai out of the courtyard where Xue's family lived, and met Jia Baoyu got married in a big courtyard.

The reason why the Jia family didn't pay attention was because Jia Baoyu in the family was in great need of rejoicing, while the Xue family didn't pay attention because they were afraid that this marriage would cause disturbances. Moreover, Xue Baochai was really old. She gave birth to four children, and finally died of dystocia when she was too old to give birth.The eldest son is now tall and thin, and from a distance, he is already an adult.The second son can also start practicing bow horse riding and shooting.Xue Baochai is really not young anymore, and it is not easy to marry. People who are the same age as her are all married now. It is not that Mrs. Xue did not think about marrying her elsewhere in the early years, but many people Picking and picking at her made the Xue family feel unbearable.Jia Baoyu of the Jia family is not too young. This is because it is not easy to marry. In the past, everyone was willing to discuss marriage with his family, but now that he looks like this, many people have given up.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xue have both achieved their goals. The two sisters are very happy, but Shi Taijun's complexion is very bad. During the wedding, she watched Jia Baoyu being helped into the new house, and the frost on her face could be scraped off. Down three catties.The people in the family also knew that the old man was unhappy, so the wedding became much more depressing, the joy was not complete, and the sadness was not complete.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been fighting for ten years, and the result finally came out today.

Jia Baoyu became sober on the second day of their marriage, which made the whole family feel that it was a credit to Chongxi, and Shi Taijun, who had been flirting with Xue Baochai, also admitted it.She gave Xue Baochai a special reward, sent the two little ones back to the yard, and told them to live a good life.From this day on, the entire Rongguo Mansion quietly began to change a little.Xue Baochai began to use her mistress' rights in an open and honest manner.

Staring at Jia Baoyu, you must watch him make progress, lock Jia Baoyu in the study, and anyone who makes fun of him will be kicked out. In this way, the group of girls under Jia Baoyu are not happy, and the family is always in trouble. It was very lively, and Jia Baoyu couldn't even keep the master himself, let alone the girls. Except for the first-class and second-class girls who often appeared in front of him, the other little girls were quickly replaced by women. It's only ten days.

Xue Baochai felt that she had begun to feel elated, and she began to send posts to various family members to communicate with each other. Naturally, she used the name of investigating Jia Baoyu's beautiful jade. Mrs. Wang felt that her wish had been fulfilled recently, and Xue Baochai was very considerate to her. Dedicated.She didn't stop Xue Baochai from going out to date.Xue Baochai finally got rid of her identity as a merchant woman, and her self-conscious identity has also been raised. In addition, she is a person with means. After going out to socialize for a few days, she met a few family members of officials. the truth.

"Third Miss of your family, think of a way to send her away early. It seems that your mother-in-law sent her to the palace before, and the emperor brought her back. A few days ago, she sent her name to the palace, but the empress called her back. That's it. It's difficult to find a husband's house, and if you stay for a long time, something will happen."

Xue Baochai thought and thought at home, Tanchun is not someone else, she is a girl from Jia Baoyu's concubine, if it is someone else's family, just leave it alone, you can't ignore your own family, but you can't get around your mother-in-law if you do, she is upset , and asked Yinger, the dowry maid, "What book did the second master read today?"

"The Book of Songs."

"It's been so long to read a book of poetry? Is anyone going to talk to the second master today?"

"No, it's just that the second master slept all morning."

Xue Baochai sighed, she had already fully understood Mrs. Wang's helplessness. When Mrs. Wang wanted to control Jia Baoyu, the old lady stopped her. It's time to play, so he should take good care of it, and force him to study hard, so it doesn't take a lot of effort.Xue Baochai felt irritable in her heart, and felt that life was like the candied haws sold on the street, and worries were like the hawthorn fruit, one after another, never letting people calm down.

"By the way, did you post to the Gu Mansion? What did their family say?"

"There are still no guests. Their housekeeper said that their grandma is too heavy now, so all the guests are gone."

Xue Baochai didn't like it in her heart, and she was beaten to pieces when she was proud of herself, and she felt proud, wouldn't it be more proud of someone to marry than herself.She recalled when she first arrived at Rongguo Mansion, at that time, He Guifei was still a cowardly girl, she even depended on the faces of her servants when she spoke and acted, and even her younger sisters looked down on her.In a blink of an eye, he entered the palace.As for Sister Lin, she is noble and petite, and she is very coaxable. She is very envious of having her mother and elder brother by her side.At that time, who was worse than whom? .In the end, it's not because I'm not as good as them because of my background, or because I'm not as good as them in marriage.If I can marry the emperor...

Is there no fate, she took out the golden lock, the golden lock that matched the jade, after all, it didn't match the jade, and now I heard that the jade is in the south of the Yangtze River.

"My son, Zhao, kowtows to the emperor."

"My son knocked on his father's eyes"

"Get up and sit down."

Today is Hefei Mingshou, the emperor specially called their brothers and asked them to have a meal with him.

The eleventh prince watched his brother sit down, and he sat down last. The eunuch refilled the father and son with wine and then left.

The first glass of wine was sacrificed to the noble concubine, and the second glass of wine was their brother's respect to the emperor.

"You complained in your heart that I didn't hesitate to protect your younger brother. Don't you know that your mother and concubine broke down after giving birth to Tonger, and she almost died at that time. Although she survived later, the imperial doctor and I It is only a ten-year lifespan. When I decided to protect your younger brother, I felt uncomfortable. Children may not be filial to their parents, but parents will never harm their children. Your mother and concubine must agree with me, etc. When you become parents in the future, you will know what it means to be a parent, and you should work hard to keep your mother and concubine from worrying about you."

The eleventh prince, who had been suffering tears for a long time, lay down in the emperor's arms all of a sudden, crying uncontrollably.But the Ninth Prince was weeping on his face, and he only believed half of what the emperor said in his heart.

The emperor is the most cunning animal. A person who aspires to be an emperor naturally has a deep research on this animal.If once the rights of the father were violated, he would not hesitate to kill his son, anyway, he had many sons.

"You are growing up too, and you should take care of yourself for your mother and concubine. I heard that Tong'er is now practicing horse arching until midnight every day, and that's more than that. When your mother and concubine are around, you are the laziest one. Do one thing, I've urged you several times, but you still don't move." The emperor chattered very kindly, and at this time, he was also a loving father, and he was also very experienced when it came to getting along with his children in daily life. The eleventh prince was moved all the way. Tears burst into tears, but the more I talked, the colder the Ninth Prince became, the mother and concubine did not leave too much protection for the children. In this palace, the concubine will not be mentioned by anyone except her children, because the emperor has decided to minimize her influence on him.The more this is the case, the unexpected gains can only be obtained by bringing up the mother at the critical moment.

The Ninth Prince took a sip of the wine and kept laughing at the Seventh Prince in his heart. Do you know what your biggest disadvantage is?There is no mother who died in the most beautiful years.Do you know what your happiest luck is?Because your mother has been alive.The Ninth Prince has made up his mind. Don't show the relationship between mother and father unless it is at the last critical moment. This thing will be gone once it is used.

"My father promised you that I will divide the mansion for you in the future and put the mansions of your three brothers in one place."

"And my younger sister. My younger sister's princess mansion is also with us. If her son-in-law shows her face, we brothers will kill him together."

The emperor lovingly touched the eleventh prince's head, "Okay, when the time comes, Ruhe is counting on you, let alone showing your sister's face, when she gets older, her sons and daughters are not filial, and you can beat her." Come to the door. It's only natural for your own uncle to teach your nephew, and your sister will count on you when the time comes."

The eleventh prince laughed. The little guy had been coaxed by his father to stop crying. He rubbed the back of his head and looked at his brother. The ninth prince didn't smile the whole time. He and the emperor looked at each other. And the emperor also saw ambition in his eyes.

At this moment, the two are not father and son, and only the other side can understand the strange expressions on each other's faces.But the emperor was not angry, he would feel very happy on the contrary, if he said that his sons were all sheep-like animals, then he would feel sad, but if he said that he raised a son like a wolf, he would be very happy on the contrary, because this It means that he has successors.But he selfishly thought that he would not hand over the family business to his son until he died, but before that he did not allow his son to intervene.Although every emperor has such thoughts, not every prince will be honest and obedient.When I was young, didn't I also look at the position under my father's buttocks?How similar the current son is to his former self, he will never obediently wait for him to give up his position.Sooner or later, he will ask his father for what he wants most like himself.

Since you don't want to be a good son, then let's be a good opponent.

But the younger one said: Sooner or later, I will replace it.
