Jia Hu of the Red Chamber

The Xue family's coming to Beijing is a big event. At this time, Wang Zisheng and Wang Ziteng's brothers are all in Beijing. brother.

It's not that Mrs. Wang doesn't want to use the name card of the Duke's Mansion, but since Jia Hu, the short-lived ghost, became a Jinshi and worked with the present who was still the king of the county at that time, the name card of the Duke's Mansion is not something she can use whenever she wants that's it.Jia She, the old man who lives at home all day long and waits to die, doesn't know what's going on, he made a big fuss about her companion Zhou Rui's mistakes and omissions when she went out to work with a famous card from the mansion, and forced the old lady Shi Shi Nod your head, and no longer allow people to easily use the name of the Duke's Mansion.Later, when Zhou Jie took charge of the family, it was even more difficult.

After finally waiting for Zhou Jie to give birth without going out, Mrs. Wang thought that Liu Xia's tender face and younger age would make it easier for her to deal with it, but she was not a vegetarian, and she didn't ask for any benefits. Now she can only use the name card of her master Jia Zheng.

It has been more than ten years since the old man went west. The two yellow-mouthed children of Dafang both ascended to heaven through the merits of Conglong. My master is only a fifth-rank Cong, and it has been a few years. Guang'er, who was presenting auspiciousness in front of the local area, really makes people grit their teeth with hatred.

Mrs. Wang closed her eyes and leaned on the pillow, the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed, and her complexion became more and more gloomy against the contrast of the festive clothes she had put on to maintain her peaceful appearance.

No matter how well she and her younger sister Xue Wangshi think, they still need the support of their two elder brothers from her natal family to make things happen.

I just hate that the two sister-in-laws don't pay attention to her, and they always treat the servants she sent back to pass on the message. She is not good and always runs to Wang's house, so many things are delayed.Moreover, Mrs. Wang knows best about the wind from the pillow. In her opinion, the estrangement between her and her two brothers is all due to the tongue-in-cheek sisters-in-law.

God is so unfair, Wang Xifeng's dead girl is restless when she is at home, her virtues are not good, she is not worthy of carrying Yuanchun's shoes, and everyone takes her as a treasure.After making a continuation for someone, he became king and hegemony in the mansion, overwhelming her husband and stepson, and no one ruled her one or two.

I don't know what the two elder brothers are thinking. Wang Xifeng, who has something to do, will salivate and go back to her mother's house to rescue soldiers. If there is nothing to do, she will deny her relatives. What's so good about it?

Fortunately, I used some tricks to match her with that bastard Ningfu Zhen'er. If she married into this mansion, wouldn't she be mad at her?

Taking a deep breath, Mrs. Wang really didn't want to admit it. Seeing Wang Xifeng's nourishing appearance now dominating the Ningguo Mansion, and thinking of Yuan Chun who had a long way to go in the palace, her heart felt as if someone had dug it out.

She has two sons and one daughter, and the two older ones are hopeless. Her whole life will be on Baoyu's shoulders, and she can't do what the old lady wants.

If you follow Mrs. Shi and marry the sick child of the Lin family, let alone Baoyu's childbirth will be difficult in the future, it will depend on the difference between Lin Gu's official position and her own master's, and the high-mindedness of the Lin family's girl. How to display the prestige of the old Fengjun?

After serving Mrs. Shi carefully for half of her life, and being angry with her daughter-in-law when she grows old, she might as well wipe her neck with a knife!

But after the turmoil of marriage proposals in Yuanchun, Mrs. Wang herself understood the difficulties of her children's marriages.

It is said that he is the grandson of the Duke of the state, but he is not the first wife of Xijue, and he is still at odds with Xijue's eldest family, which is well known in all capitals.Seeing that the first room was up with shallow eyes, the screwer rushed to take advantage of the heat, so he didn't even think about their second room, let alone being in-laws.

Baoyu is a good person, born with a great fortune, but this fortune will come later.People like them have to discuss marriage when they are in their teens. Baoyu has not grown up yet, so where can he show his good fortune?If there is no benefit, those who do not see the rabbit or scatter the eagle refuse to nod.

She took good care of Baoyu, but let those who are not open-eyed comment.

That's all, if Baochai from my sister's family is as good as she said in her letter, there is no need to hire someone outside, just follow Baoyu.At that time, with the wealth of the Xue family and the grandson of the Duke, and with Baoyu's ability, why worry about not having a good future?

Thinking about it, my natal brothers would not even help with this idea.

After sorting out the clues, Mrs. Wang's tense face finally eased for a moment. The big maids standing next to her breathed a sigh of relief cautiously. Jin Chuaner waved her hand at Caixia and moved in small steps. out.

Caixia knew that Jin Chuan'er was going to show her courtesy to Baoyu and wanted her to stand beside the Second Wife, but she also agreed to Third Master Huan and Fourth Master Cong to give them rose dew today.If the time is delayed, the two young masters are easy to coax, but Aunt Zhao and Aunt Fang are easy to get along with, so they don't have to make me angry again.

Secretly spat at Jin Chuan'er, although Caixia was not reconciled, she was used to being honest, she still held the teacup with lowered eyebrows and waited for orders.

After all, the two uncles and masters of the Wang family did not disappoint Mrs. Wang and sisters this time.

By the time Jia Hu and others received the letter that Xue's family wanted to go to Beijing, Xue's family had already walked up the river for quite a distance.

Laughing to himself, the Xue family didn't need to hide this time for fear that the officials would lock up Xue Pan, Jia Hu didn't take this matter to heart at all.

Which one does Jia Baoyu marry has nothing to do with them?The second wife's heart is full of fat, and it is her own choice to choose a merchant's daughter to be the wife of the first son.A big idiot Xue who failed to accomplish anything but failed to do so was really dragging and dragging the entire family to death.

But this time, he has to keep an eye on his family, and don't let people pull the tiger skin of the Duke's mansion to offend Xue Da fool, and then he will also implicate the whole mansion.

Since he is a serious nephew of the Wang family, let the two Lord Wangs go.Although Wang Zisheng has been hopeless for promotion, Wang Ziteng has outstanding military achievements. Wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't use it to protect these ineffective juniors?

Jia Hu only felt better, and Tete told Zhou Jiemo to let the merchants get over serious relatives from the official family like Lin's cousins, and put the letter in the mansion newspaper, and hurriedly sent it to Yangzhou Xunyan Yushi's Mansion .

It just so happened that a few days before the arrival of Xue's house, Uncle Lin, who was thousands of miles away, suddenly sent a few stewards and their daughters-in-law to Beijing to greet Mrs. Shi. The words were respectful and respectful, and they were all about Lin Hai's treatment of a pair of young girls. fist heart.

So when the Xue family came to the door, Mrs. Wang resorted to all kinds of means, and the owners of all the houses in the mansion should eat, sleep, and play, and they didn't even have a single intention to greet them.

According to Zhou Jie and Liu Xia, if it wasn't for the fact that Mrs. Xue's family is of high seniority, she doesn't even need to open the side door to welcome a white body, why would she use the whole family to welcome her?Not a close relative like the Lin family.

It wasn't until Mrs. Xue Wang brought his children to pay respects to Mrs. Shi, and Xue Pan was taken to greet Mrs. Jia Zheng that Mrs. Xing brought two daughters-in-law to meet Mrs. Xue. After another meeting, Mrs. Shi The wife's eldest girl Yuanyang invited Yingchun Daiyu and others who were playing together.

Only Baoyu, Tanchun and a few aunts followed Mrs. Wang to the second door to meet people. As for the two concubines, Mrs. Wang thought they were an eyesore, so she said they were sick and didn't allow them to go out.

Xue Wang's foreign affairs are incomprehensible, and the incident in the back house is like a mirror. At a glance, he can see that his sister's life in Rongguo Mansion is not going well. Her original thoughts have changed a little, and her face is still full of smiles. Without revealing his son, he pulled the two girls from Jia's house and Daiyu Changsheng's siblings to praise and praise.

Xue Baochai was nearly thirteen years old at this time. She was full of muscles and bones, dignified and beautiful, and she had read poetry and books quite talented. Although she always had a warm smile on her face, she was very self-confident in her heart. Can not help but give birth to the idea of ​​comparison.

Tanchun was concerned about his aunt, so of course he praised Xue Baochai a lot, it seemed that Xue Baochai was well-read and memorized, but the others did not have this taboo.

Yingchun was shy by nature, dull and cowardly when she was young, but her first brother made it clear that she wanted to support her, his wife Xing was also very kind, and she had two sister-in-laws and a group of nuns who taught her in every possible way. The lady's money has been raised.At this time, she was dressed in lotus-colored satin clothes, with pearls and emeralds on her head, and the pearls were dazzling. Sitting quietly on the side, she had her own momentum.

Xue Baochai checked the price of her tiara, and realized that what her aunt had said in the past was not true. The girl in the big house was obviously very favored in the mansion, and she did not want to compete with Yingchun, so she looked at her mother and said that she also came here to defect to relatives. Daiyu.

Daiyu didn't like to talk to strangers, and she was a bit indifferent towards Xue Baochai. Xue Baochai was angry at first, but then she got Mrs. Shi's words and went to the courtyard of the Lin family with her sisters to play with her sisters, only to realize that it was her own blindness. .

Not to mention the rare and rare treasures in Lin Daiyu's room that were like scraps of copper and iron, and the row of nuns and nuns, seven or eight big girls doing fine work, this kind of grandeur can't be matched by Xue Baochai's flattery.Ying'er and the others understood through inquiring that the monthly orders for these servants were all issued by the Lin family, and none of them were from the Jia family.

A good year with heavy snow.It is said that the Xue family is rich, but Xue Baochai knew in his heart that since his father left, the family has really been in decline, otherwise his mother would not have brought her brothers and sisters to Beijing to join her natal family.

No matter how unwilling to admit it, Xue Baochai also knows that he is inferior to these official ladies in his background, and now he is incomparable in wealth and honor, even if he surpasses the sisters of Jia's family in talent, and there is Lin Daiyu who stands shoulder to shoulder with her.

So what if they are not brothers?In terms of age, she, Xue Baochai, lost.Lin Daiyu is less than eight years old this year.

Feeling depressed, Xue Baochai was a little dissatisfied with her mother's idea of ​​living in a relative's house.

The family has been here for the past few days, and the uncles and aunts of the Wang family are not very friendly, but the eldest aunt has prepared a yard for them to live in, but the blind man can feel the alienation, and the third cousin even sent someone to send a gift over. He politely said that the family couldn't leave, and the second cousin Wang Xifeng seemed to have no relatives like them. Even when they arrived in Rongfu, which was just across the street from Ningfu, the second cousin still didn't hear a word, and didn't even show a face. None revealed.

The Rong Mansion is better, the elder brother is also the Xue family's uncle after all, the face of the Xue family's whole family, but the grandpa who attacked the jue seemed to have nothing to do with it. There is neglect.

There was Jia Baoyu, but what's the use of a second son who is almost ten years old and still refuses to read well?

Thinking about how honorable their family was in Jinling, what did these relatives in Beijing think of them?

Xue Baochai was full of dissatisfaction, but Xue Wang's heart was thinking about relying on the power of her natal relatives to find a good future for her two sons and daughters. When my aunt had invited Ann, she took her daughter to Ning Mansion for a banquet in the car of Rong Mansion women's family members.

As a result, Wang Xifeng couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore, so he had to walk around with Xue's family for a while.

Mrs. Wang was the first to express her kindness to Wang Xifeng in a hurry, Mrs. Wang was naturally unhappy, but Mrs. Xue had already seen that Mrs. Wang was just an embarrassment in Rongguo Mansion, so why would she listen to her?Just pay lip service.

Mrs. Wang has always dominated Xue Wang's head all her life, and now she will not be able to turn around for a while, and she still treats Xue Wang as if she was before she got married, but Mrs. Shi can understand it clearly, and she is happy to watch the play of the Wang family sisters .

It's a pity that the son-in-law Lin Hai has been unwilling to talk about it, and confirmed the marriage between Baoyu and Lin Yatou.Hu's daughter-in-law and Lian's daughter-in-law are also worried. They have brought a bunch of nuns to put them next to Yingchun, so why can't she match Daiyu with a few?

A group of old men crowded into the room, and a group of girls from the Lin family around Daiyu also had sharp teeth, and the two Yu'er didn't talk much all day long.

The children and family members of several families have their own thoughts, but the Jia family and the Wang family received two completely different imperial edicts on the same day.

The way of the Wang family is that Prince Teng, the second master of King Xuan, came to Beijing and was promoted to be the military envoy of the Beijing camp.

The one from the Jia family is for the uncle Jia Hu.

The sage has a decree, Jia Hu was promoted to the Tongzhi of Nanzhou, and set off to leave Beijing on a certain day.

Jiannan Prefecture is the place where the people were in chaos before, so what if it is the fifth rank?

Zhou Jie didn't use much for dinner, and Jin Chuan'er, who was in Mrs. Wang's room, went to the kitchen to order and add some delicious dishes.
