The Weight of the Red Mansion Walks the Road of Life

Chapter 110 Four

No matter what Mrs. Wang herself thinks, when it comes to Baoyu's marriage, if outsiders know the candidate in the heart of this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they will probably think that Mrs. Wang's choice is more appropriate.

The two girls that Jia Mu admired were not of low birth, and their upbringing would not be bad, but there are still some shortcomings. Shang Lin Daiyu has only parents and no brothers. If Lin Ruhai no longer serves as an official in the future, then Lin Daiyu will lose most of her support.For example, Shi Xiangyun's uncle and aunt are the only ones in charge of the Shi family. After Shi Xiangyun gets married in the future, whether the Shi family can continue to be Shi Xiangyun's support is actually unknown.

After the Lin family's marriage was obviously impossible to take shape, Mother Jia actually had only Shi Xiangyun as a choice, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that face was always more important than heart in this marriage. Shi Xiangyun's identity may look bright but not necessarily How affordable.

As for Xue Baochai, although her family background is lower as a merchant girl, her mother is also a daughter of a serious official family, so her upbringing will not be bad.Moreover, even if it is difficult for the heirs of the second household of the Jia family to become officials, Jia Zheng is still a person with a formal official position. Even if Jia Baoyu's future is unpredictable, it cannot be denied that he always has the status of an official son. Gao Pan, Baoyu will not bow his head in front of his wife in the future, no matter how you calculate it, it seems that this marriage is well-matched.

Of course, Mrs. Wang didn't think too much about it. She just wanted to find a daughter-in-law who was close to her and not too high-born. First, she wouldn't be as unruly as Wang Xifeng in the future, so she couldn't be suppressed. After all, even without the background of Jia Baoyu's inability to become an official, Mrs. Wang is very optimistic about Xue Baochai's relationship with the youngest son who was win over by her mother-in-law.

Also a daughter of the Wang family, Aunt Xue was married to the Xue family in Jinling by the Wang family because she was a concubine, and became a merchant's wife.The so-called three religions and nine streams of agriculture, industry and commerce, even though the situation of the Wang family was not particularly good at the time, and Aunt Xue was a concubine, but Aunt Xue still married at a low level in this marriage.

After Aunt Xue got married and moved to her husband's family, she had been living a good life because of her natal family's toughness, and she had given birth to a son and a daughter successively. In addition, Xue's family was decent as an imperial merchant, so there was nothing wrong with it.

However, since Master Xue passed away, because there are only orphans and widows left in the family, even if the Wang family is willing to protect them, it will inevitably be a sad day.

Ever since, Aunt Xue inevitably placed high hopes on her daughter.

Generally in this kind of family, most of the high hopes should be sons, especially Xue Pan is the eldest son of the Xue family, but who makes Baochai's aptitude really outstanding.

Cao Gong is the head of the twelve gold hairpins, and he knows that apart from his talent, learning and morality, Baochai's appearance is by no means ordinary.Unlike ordinary businessmen who are only thinking about marrying their daughter into an official's family, Aunt Xue's gaze is also very far-sighted, pointing directly at Qingyun just like her sister Mrs. Wang.

If Yuan Chun wanted to enter the palace, even if Jia Zheng's official position was not high, since his family is an official family, Yuan Chun would always be eligible to participate in the general election, but the process may not be as smooth as that of a girl from a high official family.

But if it is Baochai, the so-called three religions and nine streams of agriculture, industry and commerce, she is naturally not eligible to participate in the general election as a merchant woman.However, if you want to enter the palace, apart from the general election, there is actually a small election. The small election is just a selection of palace ladies, as long as they come from a clean family. The requirements for background are really not high, although the process is obvious. It will be more difficult, but it may not be a way for those who just want to enter the palace.

Moreover, Baochai's status is nothing compared to the ladies of the official family, but in the small selection, he is considered to be of a high background. Although he can't guarantee his future future, it will not be difficult to enter the palace smoothly.Moreover, Baochai's mellow life, even though she grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, is not as graceful and slender as ordinary Jiangnan women, but this appearance can be seen at a glance that it will definitely be beneficial to the offspring.Aunt Xue did not ask Baochai to enter the palace to be a concubine, she only thought that the concubine would look at Baochai's appearance so that she could bear children, and if she could give Baochai to a certain prince and prince as a side concubine, it would be good.

The girls in the small selection are all selected to serve the nobles. Naturally, the younger ones are better□□, so most of the time the selected girls are only girls in their early ten years old, and it happens to be selected carefully□□ □□If you follow the rules, you can be transferred to the nobleman to serve.

Now that Aunt Xue had made up her mind, she had to report her name early, and she had to bring Baochai to Beijing to wait for the election.

Just when she was about to leave home, Aunt Xue's only son, Xue Pan, suddenly got into some sort of trouble.

When Master Xue passed away, Xue Pan was only six years old. It can be said that he was basically raised by Aunt Xue.Aunt Xue is soft-tempered, and loves her two children very much. Although Xue Pan is filial to his mother and sister, but because of his young age, he is still unable to be a family. On weekdays, only a few loyal old shopkeepers left by Mr. Xue are in charge of Xue Pan. The family business, Xue Pan is still doing nothing on weekdays, just thinking of himself as a young master.

However, Xue Pan is just playing for fun. Although he has the nickname of "Stupid Overlord" in Jinling, he has not done any serious bad things. In fact, he is mainly a "dumb" Literally.At most, it was because Aunt Xue only cared about her only son, and the Xue family had no other male elders who could control him, so those young masters who were of similar background to Xue Pan all envied that he didn't have to worry about being punished by their elders, so they privately called Xue Pan this way. Just a nickname for a bully.

Strictly speaking, Xue Pan's misfortune this time was not completely wrong.

When Mr. Xue was alive, because he pointed to the Wang family to take care of his own business, he didn't dare to use maidservants and concubines like the heads of other merchants. Even the servant girls at home chose as mediocre as possible.This point, even after Master Xue passed away, has not changed much.

It's not that Aunt Xue can't get used to young girls, it's just that the people who serve her are quite considerate, and the Xue family has few masters, so there is no need to add more people.However, as Xue Pan grew older, and when he was young and admired Ai, it was inevitable that he would love to look at pretty girls more.

Everyone has a love of beauty, it's not a big sin, not to mention that Xue Pan doesn't do anything to rob people's girls.

This time it happened that Xue Pan fell in love with a girl outside.

When Xue Pan was wandering outside as usual, he happened to see a middle-aged man followed by a beautiful girl of twelve or three years old, and said that this was her own daughter, because the family could not live on, so she wanted to sell her daughter up.

It is not uncommon to sell children and daughters when poor people are struggling to survive. Many of the people in Renyazi's hands are sold by such people. At most, it is rare for their biological parents to sell people on the street. That's all.

Seeing the girl's good looks, Xue Pan was immediately moved. People like Xue's family have never been short of money. The so-called money is hard to find a good heart. Even if the middle-aged man offered a high price, Xue Pan would not Don't take it to heart, as long as people pay, they will take people away.

The stories up to this point are nothing unusual, and it is impossible to convict Xue Pan on this basis, but who would have thought that the middle-aged man would be so bold as to sell one daughter to two families, and he would also sell the doll at a high price before? Sold to the Feng family.

This Feng family is nothing more than a declining gentry family, whose ancestors were educated but have no relatives of officials. Such a family seems superior to ordinary people, but it is nothing in the eyes of the Xue family.

Xue Pan didn't think too much about this girl named Xiangling at first, but he just looked at the girl's beauty, which was no different from Aunt Xue's behavior of picking clothes and jewelry styles every season.It's just that someone happened to come to fight now, but it immediately became her must.

If it is true love for Xiangling, it may not be true, but if Xiangling is really handed over to the only son of the Feng family, it would be a shameful thing.Xue Pan saw that Feng Yuan came to compete with him, so he quit immediately, and insisted that as long as this girl is needed, he would rather give the money spent by the Feng family to his family than let her go.

If the Feng family just bowed their heads, this matter will be over.On Xue Pan's side, he couldn't bow his head for the sake of face, but Feng Yuan became true love just by looking at Xiang Ling. He is also an idiot, and he would rather die than give up.

Then Feng Yuan really died...

It was also Xue Pan who saw Feng Yuan's stubbornness and felt angry, so he immediately ordered the servants around him to beat people. It didn't take long to die.

It's a big deal if someone dies, especially since Feng Yuan is a decent citizen, not a lowly citizen who can be beaten and scolded at will. Although his parents are gone, there are still relatives alive, and there are quite a lot of family members. There are a few loyal old servants, but Xue Pan will be sued.

Fortunately, Xue's family also had relatives, and with Wang Ziteng's help, the case was settled after all, and the Feng family paid hundreds of taels of money for burning and burying it.

Originally, Wang Ziteng was not in the capital at this time when he was supposed to lead the nine provinces to patrol the border, but this time because he wanted to help Jia Zhu with his future, Wang Ziteng still stayed in Beijing and did not leave Beijing.

Although Mrs. Wang is Aunt Xue's direct sister, but in the final analysis, the Wang family is Aunt Xue's natal family. Even if Aunt Xue really wanted to borrow the power of her relatives, the relationship between Wang Ziteng and her natal brother is better than that of Mrs. Wang. This married sister is closer.

Not to mention that Jia's own house is still in chaos, Aunt Xue naturally won't bother her without winking, she only wrote a letter to her brothers and sisters on the way, and then she didn't wait until she settled down in Wang's house with her children. Bring your children to visit Jia's house.

There is no doubt about Xue Baochai's own quality, and as a niece, she should be closer to Mrs. Wang, so she fell in love with Mrs. Wang at a glance.
