Red Mansions Become Baochai

For others, you can no longer read and joke with him in the future.

Aunt He thought more deeply. Although she wholeheartedly valued Baochai, since the two children were still young, it was the time when they talked and laughed freely, so it was not beautiful to put it bluntly.Secondly, his mother and son are living here as strangers, and they don't have the face to ask for marriage.Everything still needs to be discussed in the long run, and in this way, it has opened a door of convenience for his mother and son.

Only Xue Pan was happy.He didn't have much affection for this cousin born from hanging jade.Because my mother often used it to boast, talking about how smart and handsome Baoyu was, and how much she was favored by the elders.In contrast, I am not as handsome as him, and I am not smart enough to read.Now this brat almost snatched his baby sister away, making him even more annoying!

Without even thinking about it, Xue Pan asked Mrs. Xue: "Mother, what father said, my sister will not marry that cousin of the Jia family in the future, right?"

Mrs. Xue said self-righteously: "Your father said that the decision will be made later. As the saying goes, a marriage of thousands of miles is bound by a thread. This matter has been preordained long ago. It is very suitable for me to look at your sister and Baoyu. In the future, when your father sees that Baoyu has grown up and is promising, he will naturally agree."

Baochai listened to it, and it turned out that this matter would never end.To stop the golden jade marriage, we must start a protracted war from now on, and we must not relax for a moment!

Talking about old things, Baochai knows her mother's heart

Xue Ke saw his wife turn around and go out with tears in her eyes, and she regretted that she didn't notice and didn't tell her the dirty things about the Jia Mansion that she had heard outside.The old saying goes that people teach their sons in front of others and teach their wives behind their backs.He is busy with business every day, but neglects his family.Not only did he fail to discipline his son well, but his wife was also in a daze. Speaking of which, he still failed to fulfill his responsibility as the head of the family.

After Mrs. Xue passed away, there were no elders to teach her. The only sister-in-law in the same generation, Mrs. Liu, traveled with her husband for many years, and only returned home during the New Year.Mrs. Xue alone is in charge of the house affairs in Xue's mansion.The maids and servants below all bowed to her, and none of them could speak the truth about her.

The Xue family has never been short of money, and Madam Xue doesn't have to worry about the family budget at all, and the son and daughter are still young, and their lives are too easy, so they can't help being confused.

When Mrs. Xue married into the Xue family, Mr. Xue was still an official in the court.Mrs. Xue and him had never met before their marriage, so it could be considered a real old-fashioned marriage.Marriage is the intention of the parents and the words of the matchmaker.

Xue Ke was a romantic poet when he was young.I have also had a dream of traveling the world, looking for a girl who is good-looking, knowledgeable and interesting, and spends the rest of my life with me.As for the daughter of the earl's family whom his father begged for him, he can't really say what to expect.

Xue Ke looked at his bride, even though he didn't have to choose her appearance and family background.But in Xue Ke's eyes, the bride lacks the bearing that a lady should have, and knows nothing about elegant things such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.What's worse is that she has never read a book at home, and she doesn't know a few big characters.Xue Ke decided that this wife's words were tasteless and tasteless.For a long time when he was newly married, he made excuses, either going out to meet friends, or hiding in the study, or reading, or finding stone materials to carve, but he just didn't want to go back to his room and was relatively silent with Mrs. Xue, completely treating his wife as a decoration .

After Xue Gong passed away, Xue Ke officially obtained the qualification of imperial merchant in the Ministry of Households.That was when the Xue family's business was in its infancy, and Xue Ke was on the go for many years.Mrs. Xue stayed at home, setting rules in front of her mother-in-law all day long, and she was not even allowed to go outside the second door.The two said they were husband and wife, and they spent very little time together throughout the year.

Mrs. Xue didn't like this daughter-in-law, so she decided to give her son a concubine.When Xue Ke came home, his wife had never complained before, she just blamed her in front of her and was careful with her.

Xue Ke is hard-hearted, and he can't help his wife's tenderness.The lake silk long gown he often wears at home in summer, the cotton silk inner jacket in winter, and the black wool mille-soled shoes on his feet when he goes out, all stitches and threads are all made by his wife.

The Xue family's famous goose-paw duck letter was also eaten at a banquet outside, and he mentioned it casually, and his wife tried every means to mess it up.It was a spare chapter that Xue Ke accidentally carved and threw it to her, and his wife put it in the dressing box as a treasure.

What moved Xue Ke in particular was that Mrs. Xue had a stroke in her old age, and most of her body was paralyzed.The wife is afraid that the maids will not serve her wholeheartedly, so she does not avoid the dirt every day, and wipes her mother-in-law three times in the morning, noon and evening.Although the mother can't move her body, her daily appearance is also very tidy.Before she died, Mrs. Xue also told him that although this eldest daughter-in-law lacks knowledge and manners, she treats others with human kindness.

Since the two got married, no matter how Xue Ke treats his wife.Mrs. Xue loves him sincerely, respects him, and regards him as heaven.Now that both of them have had children, although they cannot be said to be in perfect harmony, they can also be called a loving couple who love each other.

Mrs. Xue was partial to her natal family. He was not happy in his heart, but he did not blame her deeply.After all, these days, apart from the same clan, people in the world also value their cousins.In the wife's family, his brother-in-law Wang Ziteng holds the real power and is a great help to his Xue family. Even if he doesn't need it now, he must think about the future of his children.

Baochai heard from Mrs. Xue's words that her father disapproved of the marriage, but it was related to her own life, so she had to find out for herself before she could rest assured.He sneaked into the study quietly and saw his father holding a book in his hand, but staring at the night outside the window without saying a word.

Baochai smiled and climbed onto Xue Ke's lap, pretending to be obedient, and said, "Daddy is tired from reading and writing, so let me beat Daddy's shoulders." Beat Xue Ke's shoulders loose and tired.

Seeing her daughter's puffy face like a little squirrel, Xue Ke said with a smile, "Don't be naughty, chai'er, just keep talking." Baochai hurriedly climbed down, and dropped her hand on a red sandalwood carved cloud pattern five-opened pier next to her. Sit upright.Xue Ke said with a smile again: "Why is Chai'er like your mother today? What can I say in front of my father?"

When Baochai heard this, she quickly raised her face and said, "Daddy, Chai'er will stay with my parents for the rest of my life. Daddy don't listen to my mother and assign me to my cousin Jia."

Xue Ke stood up, picked up his daughter and said, "Daughter, don't worry. Daddy has his own ideas about your marriage. When you are older, he will personally choose someone with the same talent and appearance and a pure family style for you. Your mother is confused. Your father is not ignorant, he won't promise a marriage just because of a letter."

Baochai smiled and said: "What if Mother secretly sent someone to send a letter, so that Aunt Jia sent many gifts to our house?" I am not afraid to be too cautious about such things, we must prevent the two old sisters from making gold necklaces. something like that.

Xue Ke scratched his daughter's upturned little nose and said, "Our daughter is precious, no matter how many treasures the Jia family sends, I won't give them to him."

Baochai cheered in his father's arms: "Daddy is so kind to me. From now on, Chai will be filial to daddy and listen to what he says."

Xue Ke listened to her daughter acting like a baby, but although her daughter was young, she was sensible, so it was okay to tell her some things.After pondering for a while, Fang said: "Chai'er, don't blame your mother. Although your mother is confused, she still thinks of you wholeheartedly. Speaking of which, your mother was also a rich and noble girl back then. After she married into my Xue family, because I didn't want to be an official, She is tired and has no official status. When she goes out to visit relatives and friends, she can't wear a phoenix coronet and Xiapei, and she has to salute when she sees the family members. When it comes to wealth and honor in our family, we only take one share. Your mother is also afraid that you will be treated like her in front of others in the future. Wronged."

Baochai nodded, she didn't know that her mother was thinking of her, but sometimes good intentions would help bad things.The more relatives, the greater the lethality.

Seeing that her daughter probably understood, Xue Ke continued, "Furthermore, after a woman gets married, the temperament of her mother-in-law is the most important thing. Your mother served in front of your grandma in the early years. Your grandma is very disciplined. You Mother has suffered a lot. She thinks that you will marry into Jia's family in the future and get closer. Mother-in-law is a real aunt, so she will treat you well."

Baochai felt silent, she was just a fake.But since time travelling, she can also feel Madam Xue's love for her, it is true and unreserved.

Besides, for those who know the story of Dream of Red Mansions, they naturally know that marrying into the Jia family is a dead end.But in the middle of the game, how many people can see that the Jia family will fall?Even Lin Ruhai, who was appointed by the emperor as the censor of Yangzhou to inspect salt, sent his daughter to Jia's mansion.It is not surprising that Mrs. Xue thinks that the Jia family is a close family.

Xue Ke was afraid that his daughter would have a quarrel with his mother because of this matter, so he said: "Although your mother is a bit confused, she is born soft-tempered. As long as we use reason to persuade her when we encounter problems, she will obey your wishes. See you later If there is something wrong with her behavior, either tell me or use words to enlighten her. Don't harbor resentment in your heart and be disrespectful to your mother."

Baochai hurriedly nodded in agreement, resigned from her father and came out.Seeing that Mrs. Xue was afraid that she would be cold, she found a small fur coat made of rose purple lake crepe for her to change into, and asked her to drink some red date soup to warm her body.Feeling sore in his heart, he threw himself into Madam Xue's arms with a smile.

After Xue Ke gave his daughter instructions, he was about to lie on the kang and read a few pages of "Idle Love Occasionally" for entertainment.Seeing his younger brother walk in again, he put down his book angrily and said, "How come my study has become a flower hall for receiving guests today, you come and I go. Tell me, what's the matter with you."

The eldest brother is like a father, Xue Shen has always been unwilling to hide something from his elder brother.Seeing that my brother was impatient and didn't give up, he hurriedly asked, "Then the Jia family sent a letter to propose marriage, and I heard that the eldest brother rejected it. I am also a little curious, what is the eldest brother thinking about the marriage of the son and daughter?"

Xue Ke frowned and said, "But someone sent you a message asking you to help pull the red line? What does a big man mean by doing this? You wouldn't push it directly."

Xue Shen said with a smile: "My brother really guessed right, no
