[Red Mansion] The Wife of Powerful Officials

"What's the matter?" Hearing the footsteps of the mandarin ducks, Jia's mother opened her eyes immediately.

Yuanyang bent down, first tucked the blanket on Jia Mu's lap, and then said in a low voice: "Just now the second wife called her away first."

Jiamu didn't make a sound, but she should not be very happy.

"Call her to my place for dinner, and call Baoyu."

Didn't you already call a few days ago?Yuanyang opened his mouth, but he still didn't say the words.

She served Jia Mu personally, and she had been following her for a long time, so she could see through what Jia Mu was thinking.

Jia's mother wanted to make Miss Lin and Baoyu a pair. She led them to the same table for several days in a row, hoping to see if there was love between them.

But she could tell that Baoyu looked at Miss Lin frequently, but Miss Lin never gave him a glance.How can Jia Mu not see it?

Since you can see it, but you are still obsessed with arranging this matter, then naturally no one can persuade you.

Yuanyang suppressed the thoughts in her heart and waited for Jiamu to get up.

After a while, Baoyu came to see Jia Mu first.

Baoyu was closer to Jiamu than his parents. He leaned on Jiamu's side, one ancestor after another.

Jia's mother's heart softened instantly. She put her arms around Baoyu and asked in a low voice: "You are not young, and your mother and I want to make a marriage for you..."

Baoyu stood up suddenly: "I, I am not engaged."

"How can it be done?" Jia Mu's expression was lowered, and then she softened her tone and asked, "If you have a girl you like, you can talk to grandma."

Then Baoyu sat back slowly, with her head down, not knowing what she was thinking.

Jia's mother didn't urge him, but asked in a low voice, "Who do you most want to marry as a wife?"

Baoyu still didn't answer.

"Your precious sister?"

"Do not."

Baoyu looked up, "I want Sister Lin."

"But what if your sister doesn't like you."

"How could she not like me?" Baoyu asked back, and then he said: "Even if she doesn't like me, I am willing to try to coax her every day until the day she likes me."

Jia Mu smiled: "You really like your sister that much?"

Baoyu nodded, and gradually a little blush appeared on that handsome face.

Seeing that he looked like he was thinking about the person he liked, Jia's mother was determined: "Then grandma made the decision and asked your uncle to ask your sister to come."

"Okay, okay!" Baoyu was full of joy, and stood up again all of a sudden, but he was so excited that he couldn't sit still.

Mother Jia stroked his hair and said, "But your mother prefers Bao girl."

Baoyu hesitated for a moment, then said: "Sister Bao is good, but I only have my sister in my heart."

Jia Mu smiled: "For your words, Grandmother will also marry Sister Lin for you."

Baoyu immediately smiled.

The wounds on his face had almost disappeared in the past two days, and when he smiled at this moment, it was naturally the posture of the noble son of the Rongguo Mansion in the past.

Very likable.

Jia Mu didn't continue talking with Baoyu. Baoyu accompanied her and said a few more words, and then went to find Mrs. Wang.

He wanted to make it clear to Mrs. Wang that he would not marry Sister Bao if he didn't have Sister Bao in his heart.

This is in Jia Zhengyuan.

When Daiyu entered, Mrs. Wang was talking to Tanchun. Yingchun and Xichun were like two piles of wood, standing on one side without speaking, which was easy to be ignored.

"aunt."

"Here, sit down." Mrs. Wang stood up, took her hand affectionately, and led her to sit down.

Mrs. Wang: "I've sent someone to pass the meal on, so let's wait."

Daiyu nodded: "It's nothing, I happen to have a chat with my aunt, sister and sister first."

Mrs. Wang was slightly surprised and glanced at her.In the past, she didn't have much contact with Daiyu, and she only felt that Jia Min's daughter was petite, frail, and aloof.

It was only then that Daiyu realized that Daiyu didn't have a clean-eyed temperament, and couldn't put anyone in her eyes.

"You are not young anymore, and it's time to talk about marriage. Although the daughter's marriage, you can just obey the orders of your parents and the words of the matchmaker." Mrs. Wang paused, "But our backgrounds are different after all. If you have a plan in your heart, you can talk to me about it.”

Daiyu didn't speak.

Yingchun dare not say.

Xichun, on the other hand, was not interested in these things at all, so she naturally sat on the side, staring fixedly at the small Buddha statue Mrs. Wang placed in the hall.

Tanchun is closer to Mrs. Wang, so she is more distant from her own mother, Aunt Zhao.

At this moment, she became more courageous and asked, "Is there a candidate for the second wife?"

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Of course there are."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Daiyu and said: "Yu'er, don't blame me for supporting you. Your mother is not here. If you have someone you like, please tell me. If you don't like it, tell me too. Like that If you come to the Amber Mansion in the future, I can refuse it for you."

It would be better if you rejected them all.

Mrs. Wang thought secretly.

Only in this way can he not offend Heshilang.

Daiyu was a little surprised when she heard Mrs. Wang's words.

Not bad.

But what the second aunt said was too appropriate.

Daiyu never knew what she wanted.

She is not a follower of the trend, maybe when others are old enough, they feel that it is time to marry, so the elder matchmaker sees that this person has come out, and they marry obediently, regardless of whether the other party is good or bad.

What she wants has always been to be like her parents, sincerely admiring each other, and to sing harmoniously after marriage.

What's the point if you don't even have half a love?

Isn't it the same to live with wooden stakes, tables, and stools for a lifetime?

But she originally thought that such an idea would not be tolerated in Rongguo Mansion.

Unexpectedly...

The second aunt actually took care of her properly.

Daiyu stood up and bowed to Mrs. Wang: "Let the second aunt worry about me."

"Where is it? You are all juniors, and your affairs should be taken care of by the elders." Mrs. Wang showed a kind smile, and said suddenly: "Speaking of which, after you left that day, there was someone who asked You begged."

"Who?" Daiyu was taken aback.

"It's hard for me to tell you his name. Your father will tell you someday. You will know it at that time." After that, Mrs. Wang deliberately betrayed her: "This man is very famous in Beijing. He is an upstart in the court, and he is handsome and romantic, and many girls in the capital admire him. Coincidentally, he said that he only admires you with all his heart."

Daiyu's eyes widened slightly, and then her cheeks slowly turned red.

She could tell that the second aunt's tone did not mean to tease her, on the contrary, she was genuinely happy for her.

In that case, this person should be, and indeed is, as the second aunt said, he is extremely outstanding.

But she has not been in Beijing for a long time, and she rarely goes out.

Except for a visit to the Lin'anbo mansion, which caused unhappiness, she didn't set foot anywhere else.

Tanchun on the side listened, and said first: "Such a powerful person!"

As he said that, there was already a look of envy in his eyes.

Looking at Yingchun again, she was also envious.

They are all at the age of marriage, which girl does not have a spring?

For them, marriage is something they can't decide on their own. Although they don't know what kind of husband-in-law they will marry in the future, they also know it in their hearts.

Even flattery can't keep up with the character in Mrs. Wang's mouth.

But Tanchun has more eyes, she thought about it, and secretly thought...

This sounds really familiar.

Could it be the waiter, right?

It's just that Sister Lin called him "Uncle Shi", which is a bit shocking to think about it.

Tanchun smiled and said: "I only hope that my future husband-in-law can have a little bit of goodness from this man in the wife's mouth, and I am satisfied."

Tanchun's words gave Daiyu an invisible boost.

It's just that Daiyu just blushed after listening to it, which was ashamed.

Apart from that, there is no other emotion.

She doesn't have anyone she likes in her heart, no matter how outstanding this person is, it's still not what she likes.

Besides, how good is this person?

No matter how good it is, can it be better than that brother?

"Ma'am, my aunt is here with Miss Bao."

"Please come in quickly." Mrs. Wang was overjoyed and stood up to welcome her in.

A few people exchanged a few words of pleasantries, and when a servant girl came to say that the dinner was ready, Mrs. Wang asked the girls to go ahead, and then she and Aunt Xue walked behind.

Originally Mrs. Wang was slightly unhappy with Aunt Xue because of what happened last time, but she was really in a good mood these past few days. Now that she saw Aunt Xue, she became affectionate again.

Seeing this, Aunt Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that Aunt Xue hadn't caught her breath yet, so she heard Mrs. Wang say: "Show me the horoscope of Bao girl's birthday some other day."

This is a consensus they reached early in the morning.

But Aunt Xue suddenly remembered what Baochai said to her that day.

Although Aunt Xue married a merchant, she was not stupid.Xue Pan is ignorant and unreliable.But Baochai has achieved great things, and indeed he has never made a mistake.

Aunt Xue was sure, and said with a smile: "I didn't bring it with me, I'm afraid it's inconvenient."

As the saying goes, be obedient and listen to the sound.

Even if Aunt Xue only said that, Mrs. Wang immediately understood what she meant.

Aunt Xue has changed her mind!

Well, it turned out to be a change of mind!

Although Mrs. Wang liked Baochai originally, she didn't intend to just settle down like this.

After all, she still wants to see a few girls for her son. If there is a better one, with the status of Rongguo Mansion, she can ask to marry her.

But who knew that the old lady moved her mind that shouldn't be moved, Madam Wang thought, instead of letting the old lady intervene in the future, it is better for her to settle down with Aunt Xue first.

In the past, it was Aunt Xue who showed her intentions first, and she never moved.

But now it's gone.

Aunt Xue said in a low voice, "Baochai is not in good health recently."

This is to tell Mrs. Wang that she is afraid that Baochai will not be in good health, and instead give Baoyu the sickness.

Mrs. Wang really stopped talking.

Forget it, Baochai is not the only one to choose.

Let the old lady go in a hurry.

On the left and right, there is a cross-talk with the servant, but it is impossible to press Daiyu beside Baoyu.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang felt a burst of relief in her chest.

After entering the dining hall.

Before he could sit down, Baoyu rushed in.

"What day is it today? My sisters and sisters are all here." Baoyu looked happy.

Mrs. Wang had a secret thought, so she stood up and said, "Don't offend your sisters."

Mrs. Wang never said such things in the past, and Baoyu was surprised for a moment when she heard it.

How does this collide?

Before Baoyu could argue, Mrs. Wang said to him again, "Come here, I have something to say to you."

Baoyu smiled: "I also have something to say to my mother."

The two left the hall.

Mrs. Wang took him to her room, and was about to tell him to let him give up on Daiyu.

Then Baoyu said, "Mother, I can't marry Sister Bao."

Mrs. Wang's complexion suddenly turned ugly: "Who told you this?"

Baoyu didn't answer, but said quickly, "I'm done."

Mrs. Wang just felt that her heart was making him angry. She planned a lot for him, but he still acted willfully and dared to say anything.

Mrs. Wang couldn't get out of her breath, and said with a sneer: "What nonsense are you talking about, and they have no intention of marrying you."

Baoyu was stunned and said: "The old ancestor would not frighten me..."

Mrs. Wang lost her stern eyes.

It really is an old lady!

Seeing that she couldn't get through here, she let Baoyu grind it by herself.

The author has something to say: Mrs. Wang thought to herself, son, don’t be so affectionate, your elder sister Bao doesn’t even want to marry you.
