The Weight of the Red Mansion Walks the Road of Life

Chapter 24

Xichun was still a child after all, no matter how much she tried to hide her intentions when she came to sue, after all, Jia's mother was too old to be tricked by Xichun.

Although Jia's mother is lazy to take care of things, Jia's mother may not be happy when the girl in her family is compared to a merchant girl, so she simply opened the box and picked two fresh and tender horses for Xichun, just to comfort her. .

There is no real secret in Jia's mansion, even if Jia's mother didn't say anything, just seeing that she picked another good thing for Xichun, it is obvious that she has some dissatisfaction with Miss Xue's family, but Xue Baochai is only Mrs. Wang's after all. Relatives have no direct relationship with Jia's mother, and they have their own biological mother to teach, so it's not easy to teach directly. This is just to comfort Xichun.

Originally, in the previous life, it was Daiyu who suffered this grievance, but after all, Daiyu lived in Rongguo Mansion as a sojourner, but she just said a few more words of complaint, and it was spread by the whole house about Miss Lin's small sex. son's statement.And now, although Xichun is not considered a serious girl master in Rongguo Mansion, she is still a girl of the Jia family and a serious master, and Ningguo Mansion also specially gives Rongguo Mansion a sum of Xichun's upbringing expenses every year. Sister-in-law usually doesn't care about her, but at least in front of her masters, Xichun is very confident, even stronger than the two orthodox girls in the house today.

Therefore, what was spread this time was definitely not the petty talk of the Fourth Girl, but because of Jia Mu's attitude, it was more vaguely said that Xue Baochai had some omissions in the rules and etiquette.

There are already a lot of servants in Rongguo Mansion who love to gossip about their masters, and since the Xue family didn't intend to stop them when the servants praised Baochai's good temper before, it's naturally hard to say anything now.And this matter was not complained by Xichun himself, it was nothing more than Mother Jia's love for Xichun.

Even though the Ningguo Mansion usually doesn't care about Xichun, the Rongguo Mansion can't treat Xichun too slowly anyway. Don't say that this matter was originally meant by Jia's mother, but that it was only Xichun's idea here. It is impossible for Mrs. Wang to reprimand her for anything - no matter what Xichun's background is, as long as she is almost half of Baochai's age, it is impossible to reprimand her for this anyway.

After all, no matter what time it is, bear children, especially those of relatives, are always a very lethal thing-even if Xichun is still a certain distance away from bear children, but in the end, Baochai is completely incapable of judging by age. Comparing with Xichun.

The most important reason why Baochai was able to hold down all the other girls in the Rongguo Mansion in the previous life was because Mrs. Wang had the heart to achieve a good marriage, so she praised Baochai for maintaining Baochai's reputation, otherwise Baochai was really She is perfect in everything she does, and her background alone is enough for people in the house to chew their tongues.

Baochai is three years older than Baoyu. Although there are folk sayings that female seniors hold gold bricks, it is actually mostly a folk saying that they raise children and raise daughter-in-law, not to mention the children of meritorious families, but those with a little bit of family background are better. It is rare to marry an elder sister as a wife, and occasionally there are one or two couples with a female older than a male and a younger with a difference of only a few months or at most a year in age, and they can still be regarded as the same age.And if this family has a big wife and a young husband, they will have to be chewed hard, and they will always have to guess what is wrong with the man.

If Mrs. Wang hadn't wanted a daughter-in-law who was born with her own heart in her previous life, she would never have liked Baochai no matter in terms of birth or age.

After all, Mrs. Wang is also the daughter of an official family, so she has some vision. Before, she desperately made money because she knew that the future was hopeless, but now her eldest son is still alive and has a promising future, even if the second son really loves her mother-in-law more, Mrs. Wang can barely bear it - how long can Jiamu live at this age? Didn't the current elder Jia She also grow up with his grandmother back then, and now it is not seen that the other party is not filial to the old lady.

In this case, she is actually not as eager to hold the second son firmly in her hands as she was in her previous life, and she is not in a hurry to choose someone who is suitable to be a daughter-in-law.

After all, it is true that girls are at the age of [-] or [-] to see each other, and it is not too late for men to see each other at the age of fifteen, six or seven. Now Baoyu is only ten years old, so there is no need to rush.

Therefore, Mrs. Wang now only looks at Xue Baochai as she looks at her niece, and it is impossible to really offend Jia Mu for Baochai.

Under such background conditions, even if the novelty of Leng Xiangwan was still spread out, the golden lock on Xue Baochai's necklace was still hanging in his clothes, and no one noticed it, at most it was served by maids occasionally. When Baochai changed her clothes, she knew that Baochai had a golden lock on her body.

It is normal for rich and noble families to wear gold and jade. Don't look at the strangeness of Baoyu's jade, but if there is no gimmick brought by the womb and no words on it, which son doesn't have ten or eight yuan in his hand? What about jade pendant?As for the golden lock that can be melted and forged, it is not surprising at all. If the words on the golden lock do not match the jade of Baoyu, it is not worthy of people's attention-it is Xichun Lan'er and Dafang's eldest sister Who doesn't have a gold or silver longevity lock on his body now?

Baochai originally came to Beijing for a small election in the palace. Although she is only the daughter of a merchant family, the Xue family is not an ordinary merchant family. , different from ordinary merchants, she can also be regarded as the daughter of a famous official according to her status. Although she may not be able to enter the palace like Yuanchun, she can be selected as the escort of the princess and princess.

Although in fact they served people in the beginning, and now the problem is not obvious from the surface, but people like Yuan Chun are actually working hard in the backyard of the royal family, such as Yuan Chun is now working beside concubines in the palace. As a female officer, it would be a matter of course to become the concubine of some royal son in the future.And the escort of the princess princess is actually just a glamorous reputation. At least after serving for a few years, he will get a talented position, and he will be more decent when he comes out to marry. You must know that all decent people have never had fathers and brothers. Daughters and sisters are important people, which is naturally different from Yuan Chun.

So don't look at the same draft, but in fact Baochai and Yuanchun are different, and there is no competition at all.So Aunt Xue reported Baochai's name, and Mrs. Wang was quite open to it, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. In addition, she didn't think about allocating Baochai to Baoyu now, so it didn't matter. What is Baochai's future?

Right now, Baochai is only 13 years old, and even after this round of selection, she will be no more than 14 years old at most, and if she fails to make it, it will be nothing but a waste of time, and it is not a delay.

——But to be honest, Rao Baochai is really outstanding in every way, just because she has such a big brother, this time the draft will definitely fail.

In her previous life, Mrs. Wang wiped out Baochai's qualifications for the election because of her relationship with the saying of "a good match". It also pays attention to the saying of "three generations of men who have never broken the law", let alone such things as drafts.

Even if Mrs. Wang didn't do anything bad on purpose, Xue Baochai's name was called back after wandering around, so she still used Xue Pan's incident as an excuse.

And this time it was Wang Ziteng who stayed in the capital who made the move.

Although Wang Ziteng said that his official career is smooth, but he is not good in terms of heirs. He only raised a pair of children of his elder brother Wang Zisheng under his knees, and Wang Xifeng is also married early now, let alone expecting his niece to be bad.It's just that Wang Ziteng made people come forward to settle Xue Pan's matter at that time, because there was a big disturbance at that time, and it was inevitable that he would be convicted. Which of the families who entered the palace for election did not find out all the affairs of the eight generations of ancestors Once again, if Baochai really went into the palace and walked around Xue Pan, the matter would definitely be found out, and Wang Ziteng might be implicated.

When the news came, Aunt Xue hugged Baochai and cried for a while, and scolded Xue Pan for causing trouble, which delayed her sister's future. Not only was Xue Pan scolded for being honest for a while, but Xiangling, the girl who was snatched back by Xue Pan earlier, also shrank her neck for several days, not daring to appear in front of Aunt Xue easily.

The matter of Xue's family has nothing to do with Tanchun. Yingchun's end is also because she lives next to Mrs. Wang. Not to mention all the lawsuits in Aunt Xue's house, [-] to [-]% of them have heard about it.

But she is not a troublemaker. Now that Li Wan is pregnant again, she is too busy taking care of her son Jia Lan and Jia Zhu, who will take the exam again after the next year, so she doesn't have much energy to educate Yingchun. Yi Yingchun returned to Mrs. Wang's side.

Now Mrs. Wang is actually more tolerant than in her previous life because of the fact that her eldest son is still alive. In addition, Yingchun is still in her favor. Naturally, she treats Yingchun with care, but it is impossible for her to treat Yingchun. Yingchun is as dedicated as Yuanchun.

Needlework is naturally taught with care, which cannot be ignored no matter what, even Tanchun's needlework in her previous life is very good.As for the ability of a female housekeeper to be a housekeeper, Mrs. Wang naturally cannot teach Yuanchun every detail, but she does not avoid Yingchun when she is a director. As for how much she can learn, it depends on Yingchun's own ability.

On Tanchun's side, Jia's mother usually doesn't think about it, so naturally she wouldn't think of it.Although Wang Xifeng was close to her sister-in-law, she was still young and didn't pay attention to these things. Fortunately, Director Tanchun's skills were learned in her previous life, so fortunately, there was no delay.

The author has something to say:

In the original book, although Mrs. Wang doesn't like Jia Huan and doesn't want to see Aunt Zhao, but for Tanchun, except for the final marriage, she probably does her best on weekdays. It can't be innate, it must be taught by Mrs. Wang to some extent, otherwise no one can say that Mrs. Wang is wrong if she only locks Tanchun in the room to do needlework.

As for the subsequent marriage, in fact, Mrs. Wang can’t be completely blamed. At first, because Tanchun still had older brothers and sisters, if Yingchun didn’t marry Baoyu and Baoyu didn’t marry, could Tanchun still leave the court first? After all, Nan’an Wangfu came to the door first You know, no matter what Mrs. Wang is doing on this side, but only from the original book, I know that Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan are the two culprits. It would be wishful thinking to expect her to do her best for Tanchun as she did for Yuanchun.
