[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

While the sisters were chatting and joking, a girl next to Jia Mu came over and said to Xue Baochai, "The old lady said, please don't hold Miss Bao to Miss Qin. She is still young."

This made Shi Xiangyun clap his hands and said, "Look, Sister Bao, the old lady said the same thing."

Just as Xue Baochai was about to speak, a girl from behind hurriedly clapped her hands and ran up. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she shouted: "Good news, good news! The palace has granted two Juetian villas to the East Mansion and our mansion, and also put Miss Lin has been promoted to the position and given a double salary, and Miss Lin is now a first-class county monarch with two salaries."

Xue Baochai immediately jumped up: "Is there any more?"

The girl panted and said: "I also heard that the Yan family has a head of the household department! There is nothing else."

Xue Baochai was dumbfounded.

After meeting the emperor in private in Jia Yan's courtyard in February, she squeezed out 2 taels of silver and also set up a breeding workshop.

It's just that, firstly, most of her subordinates are storekeepers, and most of them are profit-seeking people. Their professional habits require them to at least maintain a balance of income and expenditure. Second, she has no way to get a lot of rice noodles. Breeding villages, both in terms of quantity and scale, are far inferior to Lin Daiyu. In addition to some reasons, in the end, it was Xue Baochai who stopped them, which prevented the people below from having occupational illnesses to do the grain business.

Although he had already prepared in his heart, Xue Baochai's loss can be imagined at the moment when he really heard it.

But Shi Xiangyun also asked: "Sister Bao, what's the matter? But it has something to do with your family?"

Xue Baochai calmed down, laughed dryly, and said, "It's just that at the beginning of the year, I heard that the Yan family would change their family this year. I just didn't expect it to come so soon." Then, he pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "The Yan family has become a sixth-rank one. The head of the household department is gone, and I don’t know what happened to the people who have been working with Master Jing and Lord Hou in the East Mansion for the past two years. If they all get official positions, then the empress has done a very big thing.”

Shi Xiangyun smiled and said: "Second sister is doing big things." After saying that, he paused, and said: "We should go to congratulate second sister."

All the sisters nodded and stood up.

They had just arrived at Tirentang when they heard that Jia She was coming, so they had to wait at Tirentang.

Let’s talk about Jia She, he didn’t come alone, but brought two girls. The older one is Jia Hui, who is 14 years old this year, and the younger one is Jia Ru, who is 11 years old this year.

After the two girls kowtowed to Jia Yan and retreated to the outside room, Jia She said: "Your Majesty is all about planning for the family, I know it. This Yan family is no better than other families, and that Xing Xiuyan just came here again. I don't know either. Thinking about my father, it is better to choose a suitable candidate from our Jia family for this marriage."

"That's right. My daughter once said that my daughter has been nesting in the four corners of the yard all her life. What she sees is the sky in the four corners. How can she recognize anyone? It's just that there are only a few people in the garden now, but the third sister has another The fourth sister is young, the fourth sister is young, sister Lin is of high status, and sister Yun belongs to the historian family. After all, it’s not her? Thinking that sister Xing is the niece of the mother’s family after all, and she was raised in this palace for a few years. It's the same as the girls of our Jia family. I just forgot, she is too young, and it will take at least five or six years for her to grow up."

Jia Amnesty nodded, and said: "Your Majesty's words are very true. I heard that it was because Xing Zhong did a foolish thing when he was thirteen or fourteen years old, making the girl next to him pregnant and ruining his own body." , pissed off my parents, made your wife have to take on the responsibility of the eldest sister, delayed my youth, brought up their brothers and sisters, and helped him marry a wife and house, this is the age of 20 Married as a father. It is also because of this incident that your mother's two younger sisters have no family."

The family tradition is not good, and the family property is still ruined. Aunt Xing and Aunt Xing can't afford the dowry, not to mention, they have high standards and low skills, and their character is not good. Who wants them?

Jia Yan said: "So that's the case. I was still wondering. Could it be that the second aunt and the third aunt came to Beijing to prepare for marriage? Who is this husband's family? I never got any news. But I don't know For these reasons."

No matter what, since Xing Zhong was mad at his parents, the reputation of the Xing family would not be good.After all, in this day and age, it is truly unfilial to be mad at your parents.Once someone denounces him, he will be exiled for three thousand miles.

When Jia Amnesty got engaged to Mrs. Xing, he definitely didn't know about it. By the time he knew it, it was already too late. Mrs. Xing was already his wife, and he couldn't even return the goods if he wanted to.

It's no wonder that Jia Amnesty doesn't like Mrs. Xing when her natal family has such an unfilial brother who angers her parents, making Mrs. Xing an embarrassment to the Jia family.

After thinking about it for a long time, maybe only people like the Xue family who are not particular and want to cling to her will want Xing Xiuyan.

Jia She let out a snort, and said: "Indeed, this Xing Zhong not only influenced him, but finally married a woman who was older than him and became a widow, not to mention you, your mother's two younger sisters." Therefore, he not only wants to stuff his daughter into this garden, but also wants to stuff his two younger sisters here. I have scolded him back and taught your mother a lesson. "

Jia Yan said: "Father, this kind of thing is the privacy of my mother's family. It is also possible that my mother is not good at talking to me. Please don't be angry with my mother."

After all, it was not a decent thing, and it shouldn't have been in or out of Jia Yan's ears.

Jia Amnesty agreed, pointing at Jia Hui and Jia Ru, he said:

"The two of them are the nieces of the empress's clan. Their status, age, and seniority are all very appropriate. I think it would be good for them to follow the empress's side and learn how to raise and lower their eyebrows."

More importantly, these two girls belonged to the Jia family, and their father and brother also did many things with Jia She, so they were useful people.

As the head of the Jia family, Jia Amnesty is of course more willing to marry a girl from the Jia family.

Jia Yan looked at the two girls and said, "Father, please don't worry. My daughter knows. However, there are people everywhere in this garden. The rest, except for the Ti Ren Tang where my daughter lives, is only left to listen. Tao Pavilion and Daoxiang Village..."

Jia Amnesty immediately said: "Then listen to Tao Pavilion."

Daoxiang Village is the place where Jia Yan thinks about farming, and he will definitely not live in it for others.

Jia Yan said, "Alright."

Although Jia Amnesty was Jia Yan's father, he was a man after all, so he withdrew after talking to Jia Yan.

After sending Jia Amnesty away, Jia Yan had time to talk to Jia Hui and Jia Ru.

These two girls, who were not mentioned in the original novels at all, are not bad in appearance. At a glance, they have a docile personality, but they just don't know how to act.

To be honest, Jia Yan doesn't want them to be like Wang Xifeng, and he doesn't want them to be as weak and deceitful as Yingchun in the original book.

Therefore, Jia Yan said: "Although I am young, I am your aunt. Here, I will tell you a few words with a calm face and relying on my status as an elder. The old lady likes smart girls, and I also like strong characters. Of course, what I mean by strong is not Wang Xifeng's kind of strong woman who likes everyone in the world, including her parents-in-law. You are not children anymore, and you should know what is wrong with Wang Xifeng. Otherwise, I Not to mention, I just want to say one thing, a girl must be strong in her heart and stand upright. Girls from a family like us, unless they enter the royal family, will be regular wives for others. What do other people marry their regular wives? At the very least, you have to be able to manage the servants at home, deal with communication, and guard the storeroom at home. That's all you need to learn when you're at home. For girls, the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and poetry In other words, it’s just a hobby of self-cultivation, but it’s not the foundation of your life. Of course, if you really like this, it’s good to ask your Aunt Lin and Fourth Aunt. The fourth sister is younger, but it’s Sister Lin, who is extremely accomplished in this Well, I won’t be stingy about keeping secrets. As for other things, each family has its own differences, and when you leave the cabinet, your mother-in-law will teach you.”

Jia Hui and Jia Ru quickly agreed.

Jia Yan murmured in his heart, the names of these two girls are pretty good, but why is it strange that they match their own surname?

Even so, she asked the Dianbao lady to pick out some clothes and jewelry for the two girls. The value and quantity were comparable to those given to Xing Xiuyan. Of course, they were girls from Jia's family. Spring is an example.

On Jia Yan's side, someone went to tidy up the Tingtao Pavilion, vacated the room, installed the bedding and bedding and curtains, and then arranged all the decorations and playthings, and set fire to the fire wall and fire dragon.

After all, the sky has already started to snow, if it does not burn, in this age without antibiotics, it is not a joke to catch a cold.

At this time, the internal servant's biography mentioned that the history of Tanchun Xichun, Xiangyun, Xingxiuyan, Xue Baochai, Xue Baoqin and others came to visit.

Jia Yan agreed.

Not long after, the sisters came in and gave Jia Yan a state salute first, and after they were seated, Shi Xiangyun said, "Second sister, you are really warm here."

Jia Yan wondered: "Eh? Sister Yun said so, but the earth dragon in the Ouxiangxie didn't burn?"

Shi Xiangyun said: "Second sister, that's not what I'm talking about. I mean, a place like a pavilion in Tirentang is actually so warm! I don't know how much charcoal is burned there every day!"

Jia Yan said: "I was wronged again when I was Yun's sister. It's just some peat coal (that is, briquettes) and it's worthless. It's better than freezing people." Then he introduced Jia Hui to Shi Xiangyun and others Jia Ru and the two said, "These two are also girls from our Jia family. They are of the grass-roots generation. You can call them Sister Hui and Sister Ru."

I heard that it was a girl from the Jia clan, brought by Jia She, and she would live in the Grand View Garden for two years. Xue Baochai knew that these two were probably chosen by Jia She from a side branch for marriage.

With the changes in the Yan family's status, their relationship with the Jia family will definitely change accordingly, and Xue Baochai has long known about this.However, if Jia Yan chooses, it will definitely be cheaper for the girls in the Grand View Garden in the end.And before today, who were the girls in the Grand View Garden?

Apart from Jia Yan, Lin Daiyu and Xichun, as well as Tanchun who already had a marriage contract, only Shi Xiangyun, Xing Xiuyan and her, Xue Baochai, remained.

Xue Baochai originally thought that Jia Yan would choose between her and Xing Xiuyan, but now they both lost the election, but these two girls who had never heard of it before came up, Xue Baochai didn't know what was in his heart Taste.

However, since this person was appointed by Jia Amnesty, Jia Yan would not object.Naturally, Xue Baochai could only wait for the next opportunity.

Thinking of this, Xue Baochai changed into a smiling face, first said hello to Jia Hui and Jia Ru, and then chose a topic that Jia Yan liked: "My lady, the heavy snow heralds a good year. Compared with last year and the year before, this winter It's very cold. It snowed heavily the other day. That's really a good sign!"

Tanchun also came to his senses, and quickly said: "Yes, yes. Second sister, it's so cold this year, those bugs probably died of freezing, and there will be no locust plague next year."
