The Fate of the Red Chamber
Chapter 75: Marriage Proposal
Along the way, Mo Han whispered to Bi Xiang.
"Is the old lady going to rest so soon?"
"The old lady has been gossiping with Nanny Han, and she didn't take a nap."
"Oh? What did you say?" Mo Han squinted his phoenix eyes and glanced at Bi Xiang.
Bixiang thought about it carefully, and replied cleverly: "The old lady has been asking about the daily affairs of our mansion, such as who is in charge of the house now, what the girl is doing at home, is the uncle busy, etc., Han Nanny I picked up what I could say and said something. Just now I heard that the uncle is back, so he ordered me to invite the uncle to come over."
After entering the Yihua Courtyard, there was no need to notify, only to see Mother Jia leaning on the black three-dimensional arhat bed with thousands of characters on the head, and Nanny Han sitting on the twig at her feet, chatting and laughing with Mother Jia.
"Mo Han has seen the old lady. I heard that the old lady is resting, so I was afraid of disturbing the old lady, so I went to the garden to see the sisters first." Mo Han folded his hands and performed the usual salute to the elders, with a smile on his face.
Nanny Han hurriedly stood up to greet Mo Han, and Mother Jia laughed heartily, and said anxiously, "It's good to sit down, are your sisters okay?"
"My sisters are all well. Would you like to ask the old lady to come and talk with them?" She picked a mahogany chair a foot away from Luohan's bed and sat down.
"No, let's chat with grandparents and let them make trouble." After speaking, Mother Jia cast a glance at Nanny Han and the others, signaling them to back off.
Nanny Han looked back at Mo Han, Mo Han nodded, and led a group of servants down, even the mandarin ducks followed.
Mo Han held the teacup, but didn't drink it, and asked: "Does the old lady have something to tell Mo Han?"
The smile on Jia's mother's face became wider and she looked like a loving grandmother: "What can I tell you? I have something to tell you. You also know that I only have your mother as a daughter in my life. I love you like a pearl. Later, The queen at that time and the current queen mother decided to marry her to your father, which is also an excellent marriage. It is a pity that your father was sent to Jiangnan, and your mother followed. Miner and I never met again. Hey, But I don't want her to be unlucky.
Speaking of having your sister at that time, I thought of your mother, and wanted to keep Yu'er by my side for a long time, and your mother was willing.Although there are quite a few wealthy families out there, most of them don't know the root cause. With his overwhelming wealth, he can't compare to having relatives around him to take care of him, don't you think so?However, your mother is not in good health, and Gusu is far away from the capital, so the matter was not settled for a while.
Baoyu, you know, loves girls the most, especially for Yu'er.At that time, Yu'er lived in our mansion, and Baoyu stayed by my side. Every time I saw the two of them, I couldn't express my joy.Fortunately, the two Yu'er are very harmonious, and they are different from others in their intimacy, even the Sanchun sisters are far behind.
In addition to being obedient, you and Yu'er are not young anymore. Instead of letting Yu'er go to a strange house and slowly adapt, it is better to stay in our house. The elders watched her grow up since she was a child. Who doesn't love her , the sisters get along with her even more.Although Baoyu didn't dare to say that he would have a bright future, he was the son of the Rongguo Mansion, who was born with jade, and his sister was a concubine and empress who was valued by the emperor.It's really beautiful and beautiful with Yuer.
So, I'm here today, just to settle this matter with you, and our two families can start to slowly prepare, and when Yu'er is old enough, we can marry Yu'er into our family in a graceful manner, what do you think is good or bad? ? "
Jia Mu said for a long time that she was going to give Daiyu to Baoyu, and Mo Han became impatient for a while.Hmph, what kind of relatives are just coveting our Lin family's wealth and honor; and that Jia Baoyu, you treat him as a treasure, but he is just a playboy, how can he be worthy of his sister.This is absolutely impossible.
Mo Hanxuan raised his eyebrows, sat even more straight, and flatly refused: "Old lady, my sister's life is the most important thing for me. Although Baoyu is good, it is a pity that he is only a white man, and he will not be able to inherit the title and honor of the Rongguo Mansion in the future." The family business can only be obtained through the imperial examination. Baoyu's temperament, the old lady must know that the imperial examination will not work. My sister is the princess of the imperial family after all, and her honor is different from ordinary people. How can she just promise to a white man? If people knew about it, they would think that I, Lin Mohan, could not tolerate my younger sister. Besides, the marriage of the princess of the royal family is always ordered by the emperor, and it cannot be settled by the old lady and me in a few words.
The old lady should not mention this matter in the future. "
Jia's mother thought that the matter was likely to be settled, but she didn't expect that Mo Han would not give face at all, and directly refused, and even belittled Baoyu to be so worthless, she was so angry that she fell down.But the reason for his refusal was fair and aboveboard, and it was impossible to refute it by talking about it with the princess.Jia Mu hated Mo Han so much in her heart, her face remained unchanged, she suppressed her anger and persuaded: "What you said is not unreasonable. It's just that you also know that as long as our two families are willing, go to the emperor and ask for it. The emperor will certainly refer to marriage, is this not a big deal?"
"Old lady, forgive Mohan for not agreeing. My sister's talent and appearance are unrivaled even in the entire capital, how can mere Baoyu be worthy of it?" Every word was so cold that it made people tremble, and there was no room for change.
"Lin Mohan, don't you know what is good or bad. What's not good about our Baoyu? In terms of appearance, he is a handsome young man; in terms of talent and learning, King Beijing praises him all the time; in terms of family background, he is the grandson of the Duke's mansion; Is there anything that is not good enough for Yu'er. The two of them are childhood sweethearts, a good marriage that is hard to find in the world. Could it be you who want to use Yu'er to gain power?" Jia Mu was really angry, this Lin Mohan was not her own Sure enough, it was different, pointing at Mo Han aggressively.
Mo Han was unmoved, and looked back at Jiamu coldly, and replied forcefully: "Old lady, I think I'm being polite to you for my sister's sake, so don't just pretend that my Lin family is afraid of you. I haven't fallen to the point where I rely on my daughter to cling to the powerful." It is meant to satirize Jia's current glory because of the noble concubine.
"You, you..." Mother Jia stood up abruptly, and fell down on the bed suddenly, crying and scolding Mo Han for being ungrateful, controlling the Lin family, abusing Daiyu, and crying that her daughter could not come to justice for her.
The maids outside heard a little movement, they were all frightened, and they didn't dare to barge in, and they were stunned when they saw Mo Han striding out.
"The old lady is tired, you go in and take good care of her." After speaking, she left without looking back.
Yuanyang was the first to react, and ran wildly. Seeing Mother Jia crying on the bed, she was in a panic, and reluctantly supported Mother Jia: "Old lady, what's wrong with you, I'm going to ask the imperial physician."
Mother Jia just cried for Mo Han to see, and wanted to use the name of unfilial piety to force him to agree, whoever thought Mo Han ignored him and left, why did she cry, and cursed bitterly: "No need. What a Lin Mohan, Don't blame me for being ruthless, don't ask to come to our house when the time comes, or I will never forgive you."
In the eyes of mandarin ducks, Jia Mu has always been kind and loving. When has she ever seen such a terrifying and ferocious Jia Mu, she strangled herself so tightly that she dared not speak.
The girls in the garden were having fun when they heard that the old lady told them to clean up quickly, waiting for them to return home.Although everyone was puzzled, they didn't dare to ask. They hurriedly said goodbye to Daiyu and followed the servant girl out.
Daiyu was astonished, wondering if it was the old lady who had a conflict with her brother, but my brother is not the kind of fool, unless the old lady made some unreasonable demands.He didn't care about keeping them, and hurriedly sent everyone out.When they arrived at the front yard, Mother Jia had already got into the carriage and left before she could speak.
"Is the old lady going to rest so soon?"
"The old lady has been gossiping with Nanny Han, and she didn't take a nap."
"Oh? What did you say?" Mo Han squinted his phoenix eyes and glanced at Bi Xiang.
