The Fate of the Red Chamber

Mrs. Wang already had an idea in her heart, how could such a big fat Lin family let go easily, she just had to wait until it was absolutely necessary to tell the old lady, otherwise she might be scolded severely by the old lady, she was not so stupid.

Aunt Xue brought Baochai over to give the silver taels, and she listened to her elder sister nagging about the hardships of the family, and comforted her: "Nowadays there is an empress in the palace, life in the house will only get better and better, elder sister don't need to worry too much. Is there almost enough money for the province, right?"

"How can it be? With your 5 taels, there is still a shortfall of 8 taels. I really don't know where to pay for it, hey." Mrs. Wang is plotting against her sister, but she is also unguarded against her. say anything.

"8 taels, this is not a small amount. My sister has her own ideas, but she has something to worry about?" Aunt Xue didn't want the Rongguo Mansion to reach this level, but thinking about it, there are hundreds of people. Buying and selling, how can I survive on that little land.

Mrs. Wang looked outside, moved her body, approached Aunt Xue Baochai, and said softly: "I tell you not to. The two brothers and sisters of the Lin family hold a large family's property in their hands. If they are young and innocent, they will inevitably be conspired to take it away. Why don't we borrow our uncle's house and treat them badly in the future? It's just that the old lady can't wait to give all her belongings to Lin Daiyu, I'm afraid my words will be useless." As she spoke, Mrs. Wang sighed deliberately again.

Aunt Xue is both shameless and envious. What is shameless is that her elder sister refuses to let go of orphans and weak girls. What is envious is why she doesn’t have such a nephew. Thinking of the second wife of Xue’s family, she secretly cares about why Get the property in the hands of the second room.Look, these two sisters are really biological.

It's just that Baochai's eyelids twitched, and she asked with a smile for a while: "Young girl Lin was so careful when she was in the mansion, but this time she came back like a different person, needless to say to me, even my aunt has to take care of her. However, she has the Queen Mother as her backer, if someone inadvertently stabbed the matter to the Queen Mother, the aunt would not look good, and the Empress might be troubled in the palace at that time."

That's true, Miss Lin is no more dignified and generous than Girl Bao, she is the most charming and narrow-minded, it would be bad if she reported this matter to the Queen Mother.But the Lin family has such a large amount of property, can it be allowed to fall into the hands of others?No, absolutely not.Mrs. Wang is reluctant to part with the money and is afraid of hurting Yuanchun, so the two are very difficult.

Thinking of Baochai's many ideas, who could read and write, he lovingly stroked Baochai's cheek and asked, "Baochai is very worried, I wonder if Baochai has any good ideas?"

"Now that the family members of the Lin family are in prosperity, we shouldn't make things difficult for them. Auntie, do you think that the empress dowager's attention to the Lin family is due to the will of the late emperor, and when the time passes and the family fades away, then it's time to strike again." It's much easier. Anyway, Lin's family has become the county king, and they will have to live in the capital in the future. Auntie is afraid that there will be no chance? Right now, if you don't have enough money, you might as well borrow some money from other relatives." Xue Baochai suppressed the tension in her heart, calmly Said, but from time to time stealing eyes to see Mrs. Wang's expression, for fear of offending her.

Thinking about it, everyone will be puzzled, why does Xue Baochai seem to be helping the Lin family this time, and she shouldn't be like this in her thoughts towards Daiyu.Maybe everyone has forgotten that in addition to Lin Daiyu, the Lin family also has Lin Mohan.

Since the day of Jiji, Baochai has been deeply attached to Mo Han, and she can't let Jia Baoyu go in her eyes, and she is wholeheartedly planning how to marry into the Lin family to be her princess of the county, and have a loving relationship with Mo Han.Since she wants to marry into the Lin family, everything in the Lin family will not belong to her in the future. Naturally, she doesn't want Mrs. Wang to get involved in the Lin family's property, so she seemingly inadvertently dismisses Mrs. Wang's thoughts.

Mrs. Wang pondered Baochai's words carefully, and felt that they were reasonable. Seeing from a distance that the Lin family's silver was not available, she felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching her heart.I had to rest my mind for a while.

Seeing that the timing was about right, Baochai bid farewell to Aunt Xue and went back to her yard.

Aunt Xue wanted to ask Baochai why she helped the Lin family just now, but she kept silent because she was worried about Mrs. Wang, so she couldn't help but shouted when she got out of Mrs. Wang's yard: "Chai, why are you helping the Lin family? How about letting your aunt coax all their money away?"

Baochai hurriedly covered Aunt Xue's mouth, and gently persuaded: "Mom, let's talk about it when we go back. There are many people here."

The two went back to the Lixiangyuan and turned away the servant girls. Baochai bowed her head shyly, twisted the handkerchief in her hand, and asked in a low voice, "What do you think of the Lin family?"

"Lin Mohan? To be honest, he is handsome and talented, even better than Baoyu. He has a good family background and is the king of the county, and he looks coldly at him for not being a dude who waits to drink and play all day long. What do you ask him for?" My aunt looked at her daughter suspiciously, and suddenly saw that her cheeks were blushing, she tilted her head and dared not look into her eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly grabbed Baochai's hand: "Chaier, could it be that you fell in love with her?" That Lin Mohan?"

"Mom." Baochai's voice was like a mosquito, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a twist.

Looking at the situation, Aunt Xue was almost sure of her daughter's thoughts, and quickly persuaded: "Chaier, are you confused? You are going to enter the palace for a draft, and you will be a master in the future. How can you fall in love with someone who doesn't know how to follow?" Where did the wild boy come from?"

"Mom, it sounds good to be a talent show, but it's not about being a court lady. You think, with the power of the aunt's family, the elder sister has been a court lady for many years, and she managed to get ahead. But what about our family? Comparable to my aunt's house, even if I enter the palace, I don't know which corner I will be assigned to, and I don't know when I will see Tianyan. If I am unlucky, I will become an old girl in a few years and be simply sent out of the palace. , then how?

Even if Uncle Lin is not the heir of the Lin family, he is already in name, and no one can change it, and now he is the majestic king of the county.Looking at the capital, how many people can be more noble than him?At the beginning Baoyu was favored by the king of Beijing, and the whole family here was very happy, and the king of Beijing was not the same as the king of the county.For a family like the Jia family, their daughters can't marry the palace, and their daughters are much better than them.

Now there is Uncle Lin, maybe God wants to help our Xue family.If our family and the Lin family become in-laws, not to mention the Lin family's property, my brother's business can be entrusted to them, then who would dare to oppose us.Mom think about it, but this reason? "

As she spoke, Baochai no longer showed any shyness on her face, and her spirits trembled, determined to persuade her mother.

The more Aunt Xue heard it, the more she felt that it made sense, yes, Lin Mohan is the king of the county, what a noble status that is.If Baochai could marry him as the princess of the county, it would be much better than going to the palace to be an unknown maid. Who wouldn't take care of their own business for Lin Mohan's sake?

"That's what I said. But you also know that we made two-handed preparations before entering Beijing that day. If the draft fails, we will marry you to Baoyu. This is also what your aunt promised. You have worn that gold collar for many years. It has already been spread in the house. Let’s regret it, it’s not easy to do with your aunt.” Hearing this, Aunt Xue had already agreed with Baochai’s plan in her heart, but she was only afraid of her sister.

"Mom, how does Baoyu compare with Uncle Lin? He only knows how to make fun of among his sisters, and he is the second son of the second wife. She won't like our family at all, and there is nothing she can do if she doesn't let go of Auntie. Instead of this, we might as well prepare with both hands, and we can't tell the truth about Auntie, after all, we have to use Jia's to get closer to Lin's."

Perhaps when Baochai first met Baochai, he also had a certain liking for such a handsome boy like Baoyu, but later he found that Baoyu's temperament was not at all compatible with Baochai's ambition.Later, Lin Mohan was on the side to compare, completely dispelling his thoughts about Baoyu.

Aunt Xue was not a woman with big ideas, she listened to Baochai's mediation for all matters in the family, and now she felt that Baochai was worried, so she put aside most of the idea of ​​marrying Jia's family.
