[Red Mansion] The Wife of Powerful Officials

Until Jia Zheng went to pay his respects to Jia's mother, what was going on in his mind was still what Mrs. Wang said.

Get married?

How to get married?

With whom?

The mother of Jia was talking to Jia Zheng. Seeing that he was out of his mind, she couldn't help saying, "I heard that something happened again at Baoyu's place. What happened?"

Jia Zheng shook his head: "It's just a trivial matter, and it has been dealt with now."

"Then why are you restless?"

Jia Zheng then told Mrs. Wang what Mrs. Wang had said to him, together with Jia's mother.

"I had the same idea earlier, but it's a pity that Rongguo Mansion couldn't find a suitable girl." Jia Zheng felt a little regretful.

"What does your wife say?" Mother Jia asked.

"She said two ways, but I'm afraid it won't work." Jia Zheng shook his head and said: "She said that the younger brother of the servant is still young and has no fame. Yingchun is older than him, so it is not suitable for him. But Xichun is raised in our house, and her father never cares about things, so it's better to tell her to Heshilang's younger brother."

"What about the second way?"

"The second one is really absurd."

"How ridiculous?"

"She said it happened that my sister-in-law is in the middle of the capital, why don't we get a line in our house, talk to my sister-in-law, and assign Daiyu to the servant."

Mother Jia was startled and angry, and said, "What idea did she come up with?"

Jia Zheng: "Daiyu and the servant are not of the same generation..."

Before he finished speaking, Jia's mother said lightly again: "Daiyu is a good one. I have seen it early in the morning. Baoyu likes this sister and loves her in his bones. Instead of marrying someone else, it is better for Baoyu to get a job in the future. Once your sister-in-law said it, he would definitely agree."

Jia Zheng didn't answer this question.

Although he and Mrs. Wang seem to be in harmony, but more or less know that she has never had such thoughts.

If he had thought about it earlier, he would never have proposed to tell Daiyu to He Shen.

"How? You don't think it's right?" Mother Jia asked.

Jia Zheng shook his head and said, "The matter of Baoyu...isn't in a hurry."

"Why don't you rush? I'm about to tell you too. Baoyu is not young, it's time for a kiss. You blame him all day for not being motivated, why don't you let him make an appointment early and take responsibility. Naturally it went up."

Jia Zheng didn't think about it and elicited such words. After all, he still had to respect Mrs. Wang a little bit, so he said: "There is no rush for this matter. Mother will wait for me to go back and talk to Mrs. Wang."

Mother Jia's face was light and there was no smile, but she did not refute Jia Zheng's words.

"Go." Jia Mu said.

They all knew in their hearts that Mrs. Wang was a decent daughter of a noble family, not a cowardly wife who could be dismissed casually.

Her elder brother is Prince Teng, the military governor of Beijing.That must not be offended.

After going back, Jia Zheng didn't hide anything, and told Mrs. Wang what Jia's mother had said.

Mrs. Wang clenched her palms tightly, feeling that the old lady was really capricious.

What is she asking for?

It's just a girl born to the youngest daughter who wants to love her, and matched with her most beloved grandson, satisfying her selfish desires.

But never thought about the other people.

Now that we have only met a few times, Baoyu is so obsessed with each other. If we really get married, how can we make progress?I'm afraid that if I indulge in the boudoir all day long, I will forget even my father and mother.

Mrs. Wang calmed down, and said: "Since the master thinks that Lin girl is not easy to ration with the servant, then it is not a good idea to tell Xichun to the younger brother of the servant?"

Jia Zheng pondered for a long while: "Let me think about this matter, and then I will talk to the minister."

Mrs. Wang changed the subject abruptly: "Today, the order of the Duke of the country came, and I welcomed her together with the eldest room."

"I didn't come to the door in the past, why did I come to the door today? Doesn't it mean that the body is not good?"

"It's just a coincidence. A few days ago, the old lady took me and took a few girls to the old lady's birthday banquet in Lin'anbo. She said it was to meet the world, and it would be easier to say goodbye in the future."

Jia Zheng made it clear: "Who is the order of the Duke of the country to marry?"

"That's right. It was said that day in Lin'an Bo's mansion, the eldest son of Lin'an Bo's mansion caught a glimpse of Miss Lin, and he was fascinated by this glance, and said that he missed him all day long. As soon as he heard that Uncle Lin had come to Beijing, he immediately invited her I have come here under the order of the duke of the country, to find out the meaning of Uncle Lin."

Mrs. Wang paused, and said again: "Girl Lin has no mother, so her father and grandmother should decide the marriage. I was thinking about reporting it to the old lady. I think it is a good marriage."

Jia Zheng liked what he said. He nodded and said, "You should report this to the old lady. It's Baoyu's marriage. Don't be busy."

Mrs. Wang smiled: "Master is a sensible person." After that, she laughed again: "I also love Daiyu in my heart, and I want her to marry a good family, so that she will not worry about being rich."

After Mrs. Wang talked to Jia Zheng, she went straight to find Jia Mu.

After hearing the words of Duke Shan Guo's order to come to her, Mother Jia's face was calm, and she could not see any joy or anger.

But Jia Mu also knew in her heart that no matter how much she liked Daiyu and wanted to ration her to Baoyu, there was Lin Ruhai in the middle.

"When Uncle Lin returns to the mansion, ask him to come over and talk." Mother Jia ordered, and then said: "Miss Lin, can you rest? Invite her over and say that dinner will be served in my yard."

After that, she said lightly again: "I haven't seen Baoyu for several days, so I will call Baoyu here too."

Mrs. Wang's face was almost tense.

But she still smiled and said, "It's better to call Sanchun here too."

Jia Mu glanced at her: "Then it will be as you said."

After returning from the Rongguo Mansion, He Shen put those trivial matters to the back of his mind for the time being.

Such a busy day.

A young servant came to pass a message, saying: "There is a master surnamed Jia who claims to be an old acquaintance with the master, and he wants to see the master."

He Shen didn't even move: "Just say I'm not in the mansion."

The boy said again: "There is a man from the Rongguo Mansion outside."

He Shen paused: "Let him in."

"What about the one in front?"

"Don't bother."

The boy nodded, thinking in his heart that this person must be an irrelevant person, and if we meet in the future, he should ignore it.

He turned around and invited people from Rongguo Mansion to come in.

Those who came were from Jia Zhengyuan's house.

This person is the last time after the revolving door incident happened, He Shen became more considerate and asked Liu Quan to buy a comprador in that courtyard.

Just ask him to report everything related to Miss Lin, and he will naturally get a big reward.

That comprador is not very effective in Jia Zhengyuan, and usually does not have more money than other compradors.

Ask Liu Quan to take out the broken silver and shake it for a moment, his eyes straighten, and he is willing to be the messenger without saying a word.

He is free to leave the mansion, and he is not noticeable when he comes to Heshen's side.

Today, it was the first time he came to the door.

"Miss Lin, something happened?" He Shen put down his pen and looked at him with a frown.

Wu comprador carefully looked at the study in front of him.

It is even more magnificent and rich than the second master's look, and for a while, he became more determined to work for this and the servant.

Wu comprador said: "It's not a big deal, it's still a happy event. But you said that you will report everything related to Miss Lin. The villain doesn't dare to delay, so it's here."

"Well, it deserves a reward."

The servant at the side hastily handed him twenty copper coins.

Boy: "Let's talk about it first, you said it, if it is really a big deal, our master will naturally reward us a lot."

Wu comprador smiled courteously, and then slowly said: "Today, I heard from the maids and wives that Mr. Shan Guo ordered to see the second wife. He talked with the first wife and the second wife for a long time, and said yes. Miss Lin was mentioned. I spent a dime and got some news from a woman."

He Shen was a little surprised to hear what he said.

This man is a smart one, he is willing to spend a lot of money to inquire about the news, but he is willing to do so.

You must know that this hanging money is not a lot. In a family as big as the Rongguo Mansion, a hanging money is the monthly silver of the first-class maid.Sanchun saved as much as she could, but she didn't seem to be able to save a lot of money in a month.

He Shen nodded his chin at the boy, and the boy withdrew another penny and gave it to the Wu comprador.

Wu comprador's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "The old woman said that the imperial edict of the Duke of the country is here to make love for others."

He Shen's face was slightly cold: "Speak to Miss Lin?"

"Exactly. It is said that a few days ago, Miss Lin went to the birthday banquet of the Lin'anbo Mansion, and the eldest son of the Lin'anbo Mansion fell in love with her. So she asked for the order of the Duke of the State, and rushed to the Lin'an Bo Mansion's birthday party. It's time, come to our mansion."

The Wu comprador smiled and said, "Isn't this just a happy event? The Lin'anbo Mansion has specially invited Duke Shan Guo to order, so it can be seen that it attaches great importance to Miss Lin and wants to make a good relationship."

He finished talking on his own, but didn't get the slightest answer.

Wu comprador raised his head involuntarily, only to see that there was no joy on the face of this servant.That's all, He Shilang's eyes were dark, looking at it made people flustered for no reason.

Wu comprador shuddered, and quickly recalled carefully what he had said that was inappropriate.

But after thinking about it, I couldn't figure it out.

After a while, he heard the nobleman speak.

"Today's matter is indeed a big one. Reward him with three slings of money."

The boy hurriedly took out another three hanging coins to give him.

Wu comprador was breathing slightly short of breath. He carefully put the money away and said, "Don't worry, if you still get news, I will definitely come and tell you."

Speaking of this, Wu comprador paused, and said again: "There is another matter, not related to Miss Lin, but related to the second master of your family."

"Is it related to Helin?" He Shen looked at him a little bit: "Let's talk about it."

"I heard that the second wife wanted to marry you, so I thought of the girls in the mansion and said one to the second master."

This was something He Shen hadn't thought of at all.

He didn't intend to marry He Lin to a high-ranking prostitute.

In their family, their parents died early, there were no elders to worship, his father's step-wife and concubines were all dismissed for offending him.

As long as he and Helin depended on each other for life, why bother to wrong Helin to marry a wife he didn't like?

As long as He Lin likes it, anyone can do it.

But if He Lin doesn't like it, no matter how well-born a lady is, he won't compromise.

"I know everything, you go back."

"Hey." Wu comprador responded, and was hurriedly led out by the young man.

As soon as he left, He Shen's expression darkened, and he called Liu Quan over: "Go to Lin'an Bo's mansion to find out, why did the eldest son of Lin'an Bo's house agree? His sister didn't make trouble?"

The author has something to say: It is impossible to explore the spring... Mother Jia said very early on that this is not a marriage but an enemy.Unless Mrs. Wang was so mad that she sent someone to be a concubine, but that would be boring. Being a concubine is not a serious in-law, and Mrs. Wang would not do such a thing.

She really wanted Daiyu to marry someone, as long as it wasn't Baoyu.
