[Red House] World Transformation Project

After getting married, Jia Zhu moved out.

In order to prevent outsiders from talking about him eating soft food, Li Zhi specially gave a new house as the couple's new house. The imperial gift must not be vacant. No matter how reluctant Jia's mother was, she could only send her precious grandson away with tears in her eyes. There is only one street between Xinzhaiyuan and Rongguo Mansion, which is not too far away.

After Jia Zhu's marriage ended, it was Baoyu's turn.

Before the elder brother was not married, it was difficult for the younger brother to get married. Now that Jia Zhu has moved out, Baoyu's marriage should naturally be put on the agenda.

Ruan Qing and Mrs. Zhang prepared the betrothal gifts, and there was nothing missing. She also saw Daiyu during the process. She was still weak and handsome, but her face was not pale and haggard like someone who had been ill for a long time, and her eyes were clear. Firm and without distress, obviously doing well.fair enough.

Ruan Qing is not a savior who has nothing to do, nor is she a fanatic like Xie Yu. The Rongguo Mansion will not collapse if nothing happens. How they live in the future is their own business. The nobles have more money. It's not uncomfortable at all, she doesn't worry about anything else.

After the engagement process, Mother Jia obviously regained her spirits. Although her life has not been smooth, it is also satisfactory after careful calculation, especially Daiyu and Baoyu are her most beloved children. She didn't like Ruan Qing, and she made do with it purely for the sake of her children, but when Ruan Qing was her favorite child's mother-in-law, she would be very grateful and relieved.

So it is difficult for people to avoid double standards.

Taking advantage of the wedding in the Rongguo Mansion these days, Aunt Xue wanted to discuss with Ruan Qing about the marriage of her two children.Although she has also been a housewife, she is lacking in opinion, gentle and weak. She used to listen to her parents and elder sister at home, and listened to her husband at her husband's house. Later, she listened more to Baochai. Now she is worried about her children's marriage. , and couldn't ask the child's opinion, so he could only catch Ruan Qing and ask.

"... I think the girl in this family is not bad, and there are no complicated relatives in the family. It is said that she is shrewd and capable."

Ruan Qing stared at the Xia family written on the piece of paper, thinking that Xue Pan had been married for so long, how could she not be engaged?

Ruan Qing thought for a moment.Cautiously said: "You can't be careless about marriage. It's better to look at it again. In case there is an omission, it's a matter of a lifetime."

The good thing about Aunt Xue is that she is easy to be persuaded. When she thinks that her baby will marry an unsatisfactory wife, her heart aches. I'm young. Have you kissed me yet?"

Ruan Qing said: "Ah... I don't care about it, maybe it doesn't exist."

Although Aunt Xue loves her son dearly, her daughter is also flesh on her body. She went back and forth to Jia's house because she was afraid that her daughter would be wronged if she married another family. She hesitated for a moment and asked again: "... Said Dafang has a Conger..."

Ruan Qing: Grass.

Now Ruan Qing was sure that Aunt Xue really didn't care about those things. Although men are expensive nowadays and concubines are much easier to marry than concubines, Baochai is three or four years older than Jia Cong.

Ruan Qing quickly stopped: "Look again, my sister-in-law is not easy to talk to."

Aunt Xue looked a little disappointed, but she didn't say anything in the end. She was indeed a little anxious. After all, Xue Pan was almost twenty, and he still had nothing to do all day, regardless of family affairs. He didn't have a child yet, but the disaster a few years ago hurt his body. All these years, Aunt Xue has been terrified, fearing that her life would be gone, and she and Baochai would lose their support.

Ruan Qing could also understand her thoughts, but she didn't say anything. She was actually a little anxious. Baochai was a filial child, or she couldn't beat her parents. against the wishes of the parents.

She didn't know what Baochai wanted to do, so she could only help her to procrastinate. In her eyes, 17 years old was just a child.

Baochai didn't make her wait long, or she obviously didn't pin all her hopes on Ruan Qing, and soon she received a message from Li Zhi.

Li Zhi said: "I have recently observed that the royal merchant Xue's family has obvious contacts with some officials."

It's not that she stared at the people below when she had nothing to do all day, the main thing is that she did make a big move, and it was obvious that the other party, or one of them, deliberately let her know.

Ruan Qing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you know what it is?"

Li Zhi pondered: "...It seems that I have discussed some business with overseas."

Ruan Qing was stunned.Li Zhi still attaches great importance to trade, if it is a business with overseas, it will be considered a great achievement.

But... Ruan Qing said: "I didn't notice when Baochai contacted overseas."

Li Zhi said: "You noticed it all, what kind of patriarch is she still doing? Has she loosened control over Xue Pan recently?"

Ruan Qing thought for a while, and said: "It seems that she used to control Xue Pan very strictly, even coaxing and persuading him, and she would not let him run around. no."

And on the bright side, there is absolutely no problem. Xue Pan doesn't care about things. She, a poor younger sister who was ordered in danger and even delayed her marriage, is busy for the family. In the end, she can only have a little more dowry. It has been this virtue since childhood, and no one can imagine who played what role in it.

Baochai just took advantage of the situation and took advantage of her strengths. Except for normal business talks, she did not do anything out of the ordinary, but only the person concerned knew what impact it had.

Li Zhi said: "That's it. There has been a lot of trouble recently about Xue Pan raising an actor, and someone has already impeached him."

The Xue family is an imperial merchant, and the second is the in-laws of the Rongguo Mansion, so they are not unknown at all.Li Zhi abolished the brothel and filled all the women in the brothel into various industries. He could support himself by teaching students skills or doing embroidery. The money he earned included [-]% of the food expenses. In other places, the sky is high and the emperor is far from the control, but at least this is the case in the capital.

As for the opera singer, Li Zhi really can't help it for a while. She makes a living on this. If she is abolished, the other party may hate her first.But on the surface, it is not allowed to keep an actor, and it is not illegal, but it is enough for him to eat a pot after careful investigation.

Ruan Qing sighed, and said, "Let's order Baochai to be the head of the family. It's not easy for the child."

Not to mention anything else, Li Zhi has a good impression of Baochai. She asked specifically because she was afraid of any accidents. After confirming with Ruan Qing that there was nothing wrong with Xue's family, she first verbally reprimanded Xue Pan for taking care of an actor and humiliating Xue. The family style, and then issued an order to praise the current head of the Xue family for their achievements in overseas trade, deprive Xue Pan of the right to inherit, and let his sister-in-law Baochai succeed him as the head of the family.

No one would think that the emperor changed Xue Pan because he admired Baochai. Most people thought that Xue Pan was too stubborn and offended the emperor, so that the emperor would not hesitate to humiliate Xue's family in this way. In the past, the eldest princess It’s nothing more than a noble girl with golden branches and jade leaves like Yuanchun, and it doesn’t involve inheritance rights anyway, but Baochai’s meaning as the first female head of the family is completely different. For a while, everyone in the capital is in danger. Just a daughter/sister.

After receiving the order, Aunt Xue fainted almost immediately. At the same time, Baochai said, "...?"

She hasn't taken the next step yet?

She didn't even care about surprises or sadness, she hurriedly called someone to invite the doctor, and then ordered the servant to find Xue Pan who was still drinking and wandering outside.

Honestly, that wasn't in her plans either.She originally thought that she would have the opportunity to face the saint, even if she couldn't, she would try to meet people like the eldest princess. If it wasn't possible, she would have to go to Yuanchun despite her usual caution. It was used to intercede with Xue Pan.

Things were beyond imagination, and Baochai was inexplicably flustered.She pondered for a moment, gritted her teeth, and ordered Ruan Qing to come over. At this time, she had to be steady, she couldn't go directly to Jia Zhu or Yuan Chun, she could only ask her aunt over because she was worried about her mother.

Ruan Qing left for Xue's house the moment she gave the decree. She didn't talk about anything else, she just walked in and said, "Shall we chat alone?"

Baochai thought for a long time, and all the words were stuck at this moment.

When dealing with high-level players, you can only use straight balls. This is Ruan Qing's valuable experience over the years.

Baochai calmly ordered his servants to take good care of Aunt Xue, and at the same time accompanied Ruan Qing into an empty small courtyard. After confirming that there was no one around, Ruan Qing said: "In the future, don't do anything like this again." Done."

Baochai frowned, smiled ignorantly, and asked, "Well, I really don't understand what Auntie said."

Ruan Qing quickly said: "Your Majesty refers to you as the head of the family, not because Xue Pan is ridiculous, but." She paused, and felt that it was inconvenient for her to say that Li Zhi also liked Baochai, so she said, "It's for Zhaoyang County The Lord paves the way."

This is true.As the daughter of a prince, Princess Zhaoyang is born noble, but I am afraid that the only thing that attracts people's attention is the dowry and political resources after marrying her. No one will treat her as a serious heir to the throne. After getting used to the female head of the family, they will not be surprised that the princess is also competing for the throne.

"The family needs a female patriarch. This patriarch can be you or someone else. No matter what your original plan is, don't do it in the future. Tolerance today does not mean the same in the future," Ruan Qing said: "You are very Clever and excellent, he can be the head of the family, but the most irresistible thing in this world is the human heart, which is fickle. One thought can make you go to the clouds, but it can also send you to hell. Safety comes first, and you are the beginning , not too bad."

Playing with people's hearts like this, even if you can get all of yourself out, it is easy to cause accidents. In a feudal society, the most important thing is to follow the emperor's will.

She paused, and finally asked: "You are the first female patriarch to break the rules. There may be many people who despise and hate you. Can you hold on? Are you confident that you will do well?"

Baochai's face remained motionless, not knowing what she was thinking.After a while, she suddenly lowered her eyes and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you, Auntie, for your kindness."

She didn't say it clearly, but the meaning was obvious.

Ruan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head and pressed her eyebrows, got up and went to visit Aunt Xue with Baochai as if nothing had happened.

Apart from being overstimulated, Aunt Xue was also a little scared.

She lost her husband in the early years, and a pair of children is her life, especially her son.In her heart, her daughter would marry off sooner or later, and her son was the only support for her and her daughter. If she hadn't had a son back then, she might have been swallowed up by those clansmen when her husband died.

Not to mention being condemned by the Holy Spirit.The emperor's golden words, the prince may be scolded to death by his few words, the son of a merchant is really too low.

Therefore, even if Ruan Qing coaxed and lied to persuade her, she couldn't appease Aunt Xue who was always easy to coax.

In addition to Aunt Xue who was always unacceptable, the members of the Xue family were also a big problem. Just in case, Ruan Qing specially asked Yuan Chun to help Baochai take care of the place.

It's just that no one expected that Xue Pan was the calmest person in this matter.

At first when he knew that he was being scolded by the emperor, Xue Pan really panicked for a while, and in a panic, he went to Jia Zhu for help.Jia Zhu got a signal from the eldest princess, so she comforted him and said that the emperor had no other intentions, as long as you just be obedient.

Then Xue Pan became completely enlightened.

He didn't like those account books at first, and when he saw it, he wanted to pour out his brains and wash it. Anyway, the head of the family was given to Baochai and his own sister, and it was better than letting slaves or outsiders manage it in his hands in the future.

Well, in Xue Pan's eyes, his wife is an outsider, and even has the same status as a slave.

As for the clansmen or outsiders who provoked him to say that he was crushed by a woman, Baochai could always guide him at the right time, every time Xue Pan was provoked, his anger would be quickly calmed down by his sister with a few words.

That's right, my younger sister has been praised by the Holy Spirit, and she treats me respectfully. She looks like a fairy, is exquisitely carved, and has extraordinary abilities. What about you, your sister, your sister is probably on the same level as my maid!

What happened to the property, what happened to the rights, anyway, it is held by your own family, it is better than being held in the palm of an outsider, buying someone who is submissive and cautious about everything!

Hey, you are still being controlled by your wife!My sister never cares about me!

Then those people with ulterior motives found that the more they provoked Xue Pan, the more proud Xue Pan's face became, as if he was praising You Rongyan, not Baochai but him.

Everyone: "..."

Damn, this man!
