[Red Mansion] Yinglian should not be pitiful

"Long live God wants to tour the south... No wonder the second child suddenly received the imperial edict to continue his tenure. It turned out to be because of this..."

Thinking that Zhen Yingjia should have gotten wind of it but didn't tell her about it, Zhen Li's interest suddenly faded.What the hell is this second child thinking? Can the Lord Long Live drive the southern tour to hide it? Not to mention that the Lord Long Live will requisition the old house of the Zhen family as a palace. Speaking of which, it is owned by the entire Zhen family. Glory, could it be that the second child thought that Lord Long Live would not stay in Gusu, so he hurried back to Jinling to take up his post?

The second child must have been teased by people in the officialdom, otherwise the book of succession would not come down sooner or later, but it happened at this time.

Mrs. Zhen Li shook her head, sighed secretly, and then turned to discussing the matter of picking up the driver, even forgetting about Yin Lian's next year's draft that was just mentioned.

"Daughter-in-law, how much is left of the crops of each village and the rent rented to the tenants?"

"Just enough for our expenses this year." Feng Shi also rubbed his head and said with a headache. "The income from the rouge shops at home is also very good. Originally, I planned to collect the income from the rouge shops and prepare more silver at the bottom of the box for Sister Lian, but now I have to move it first, old lady.. ..”

When Feng said this, he was a little embarrassed to stop talking, and said with a shy face. "Old lady, it's because I, the daughter-in-law, didn't manage a good family, so the harvest and rent of Zhuangzi are just enough for the family's expenses every year."

"Come on, I don't blame you for this!" Mrs. Li understood the meaning of Mrs. Feng's words, so she said heartily. "I still have some personal money here, you take it together."

It stands to reason that Mrs. Zhen and Li gave money readily, and Mrs. Feng should also accept money readily, but Mrs. Feng said with some hesitation. "Isn't it a little inappropriate to use the old lady's personal money to arrange the pick-up?"

"Why is it inappropriate. It's not that I, an old man, don't know about the situation in this family." Zhen Li gave Feng a blank look, and said in an annoyed manner. "You don't accept money from me, an old man, and you can count on money from the second child's family before it's too late..."

"Perhaps uncle will really send money here!"

Like Zhen Li's idea, Yin Lian is also inclined to let Zhen Yingjia be wiped out by his so-called colleagues. Otherwise, not long after the person who received the imperial decree yesterday left, the Governor of Gusu sent someone to tell Kangxi Yujia Who would believe that the southern tour was going to hover in Gusu for a few more days, it was a coincidence!

Yin Lian believed that after Zhen Yingjia heard the news, this old fritter who was used to hanging out in the officialdom would be able to quickly figure out the joint.It's not easy for Zhen Yingjia to leave Jinling and go to Gusu to take over just after taking office, but if Zhen Yingjia is a smart person, he will definitely send someone back with money.After all, in this way, he could explain to Mrs. Zhen that he really didn't know about it, and secondly, it also conveyed the attitude of the two families of the Zhen family as one!

After Yin Lian smiled playfully in her heart, she spoke to Zhen Li Shi and Feng Shi with a calm expression. "You guys, just relax, I'm sure my uncle will definitely send the money back."

Facts proved that Yin Lian was right. A few days later, Zhen Yingjia really sent someone to send the money.A total of 5 taels of banknotes greatly eased the dilemma of the Zhen family in Gusu who had no bank deposits.

One must know that Zhen Yingjia is a bit sophisticated...but he still understands the twists and turns in the officialdom, so when Zhen Yingjia heard that Kangxi's imperial driving south tour was going to be in Gusu for a few more days, he immediately figured it out Someone is secretly messing with themselves...

If Mrs. Shi was in charge of the house in the past, with Mrs. Shi as a crap stick, even if Zhen Yingjia had the heart, it is estimated that even a tael of silver would not fall into the hands of the big house. If you go back, maybe all the money will become Mrs. Shi's private house in the end.

But now, the person in charge of Zhen Yingjia's backyard is not Mrs. Shi, but Mrs. Xue who is used to being a man.This Mrs. Xue has always been the most sober-minded. When Zhen Yingjia said that she would send someone to send money back to the old house in Gusu, Mrs. Xue agreed with both hands and feet.

"What the second master said is that the money must be sent back, otherwise the old lady may think that we are hiding from her the fact that the Long Live Lord drove the southern tour, and..." Xue Shi pursed her lips, thinking wholeheartedly for Zhen Yingjia. look like.

"Sister Lian is already fifteen years old. This sister is really taller, more beautiful, and graceful, just like that fairy." The months spent in the mother’s womb are counted as a face, so in fact Yin Lian is only 14 years old)

"Even if Sister Lian is able to stand out from others and go straight to Qingyun with her good looks, doesn't she still have to rely on the support of the elders in the family. You must know that Sister Lian only has one mother, and the younger brother is not old enough to support her appearance, so In the end, I still have to rely on the second master!"

Xue Shi paused, then continued. "Besides, I heard that this time the Lord Long Live is on his southern tour. In addition to our concubine Zhen, the crown prince, eldest elder brother, fourth elder brother, thirteenth elder brother, fourteenth elder brother, and fifteenth elder brother , the sixteenth elder brother, including the eighteenth elder brother born by our mother, will accompany you. Second master, tell me, according to our sister Lian's temperament, talent and appearance, it is not easy to attract any elder brother... Of course, if you can enter The eyes of the crown prince entered the prince's residence. In the future when the prince ascends the throne, sister Lian will also be born as a concubine of the mansion. If sister Lian is good at it, maybe in the end, she can still earn a queen dowager with her son's money. When that time comes, Our Zhen family can be honored for another hundred years..."

Speaking of this, Xue's eyebrows were beaming, because at this time she had already confirmed that she was pregnant for three months, if it was a sister, it would be fine, if it was a brother, she had to plan for him in advance.

"You're right." Zhen Yingjia thought carefully about what Xue said, and after a while, she spoke decisively. "At present, there is not much money in the family. You come to your brother personally and ask him to bring out tens of thousands of taels of silver. By the way, tell him that Sister Bao is a dignified and elegant girl, and she is a good match for Brother Bao. ..."'

Xue was taken aback for a moment, and then said cheerfully. "Second Master, I'll go back to my mother's house and talk to my brother."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Xue simply tidied up, and then went to Xue's house in a sedan chair with a group of maids and mothers-in-law.After being graciously invited in by the gatekeeper from the main entrance, Mrs. Xue saw Xue Zhi and Mrs. Xue, first said a few words about family matters, and then sent Mrs. Xue away on the pretext that she wanted to eat the snacks made by Mrs. Xue himself. Only then did he reveal the purpose of his visit this time.

"This statement is true, your husband-in-law is really willing to let Brother Bao marry Sister Bao."

"This is what the second master told me personally, so it's not true..." Xue Shi nodded, and said to Xue Zhi very seriously. "Although our Xue family has the title of Ziwei Sheren, it is a family of merchants. Although it has a flag of the Coated Flag, how can it be compared with the Zhen family of the Han Army Zhengbai Banner? I can agree to this marriage only because Sister Bao is really good." Of course, there is also the fact that the Zhen family is really short of money, and the concubine Zhen who gave birth to the emperor is a big hole in the family.

"My brother also knows that my good sister-in-law always thinks that her natal family's historian and the Rongguo Jia's family are extremely wealthy." Mrs. Xue wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and continued. "But what's going on between the Wang family and Jia's family now, my sister can understand without telling my brother. Can the Wang family's elder brother Ren and the Jia's elder brother named Baoyu compare to my sister's stepson?"

Xue Zhi nodded, agreeing with what Xue said.Because based on the information he knows, he can find out that the brother Ren of the Wang family is an ignorant, greedy and lustful dude, and that Jia Baoyu of the Rongguo Jia Mansion, based on his one-year-old lottery and rouge powder, can be seen He is a person who does not do much, and he has no defense against men and women. He wants to go in and out of his daughter's boudoir, not to mention that he likes to eat the rouge on the maid's mouth. He is not a good guy, and only his wife who is not very smart can I think that brother Ren from the Wang family and Jia Baoyu from Rongguo Jia's mansion are good, and they are a good match for sister Bao!

"Go back and tell Lord Zhen that our family doesn't have much cash, so we will pay 5 taels of silver for the time being. After a while, when the money becomes abundant, I will personally deliver it to the house."

This means that Xue Baochai and Zhen Baoyu's marriage is agreed!

Mrs. Xue raised her eyebrows slightly, and then said 'hey' with a smile on her face. When Mrs. Xue took the 10 taels of silver and was about to leave the house, she met Xue Baochai who had heard of her arrival and came to see her specially.

Mrs. Xue looked at Xue Baochai carefully for a while, and found that Xue Baochai's appearance had become more and more rounded during this period of time, and at first glance, she looked like a wealthy man. With the bank note, he left the gate of Xue's house.

After Mrs. Xue left, Xue Baochai asked Xue Zhi thoughtfully: "My aunt came here just now, and she congratulated me mysteriously. Recently, my daughter has been staying at home, learning about housekeeping, and rarely going out. Where does this joy come from?" Come!"

"Your marriage is settled."

"It's settled." Xue Baochai thought of Mrs. Xue who came to the door suddenly today, of Mrs. Xue's meaningful smile, and of Mrs. Xue's congratulations, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Could it be... .”

"It's Brother Bao from Mr. Zhen's family."

Xue Zhi looked at Xue Baochai with an unbelievable expression, and said with a smile. "Why are you surprised? My sister is so outstanding, even Brother Huang is worthy of her, not to mention Zhen Baoyu."

"It's just a bit of a surprise!" It's not just an accident, it's a shock, okay?After Xue Baochai took a few deep breaths, she quickly regained her composure. "As long as it's not Cousin Naren and Brother Bao, as long as it's helpful to the Xue family, it doesn't matter if I marry anyone. It's just that my father and aunt are just Mrs. Zhen's wife. Besides, Mrs. Shi is still involved. Once my marriage with Brother Zhen Bao It's over, who should I turn to..."

Xue Zhi looked at Xue Baochai steadfastly for a moment, and only after staring at Xue Baochai so embarrassedly that he lowered his head, he said earnestly. "Sister Bao, Daddy only wants you to remember one sentence. After you get married, you must be of the same mind with your husband-in-law, and everything should be toward your husband-in-law. You can't learn from the little Wang who married Lian's son-in-law." I am determined to go all the way with your aunt to the dark, and the serious in-laws are displeased, and the husband and wife are at odds. If the aunt kisses again, can she kiss her husband and son-in-law as well as her own children? My sister Bao has always You are smart, and you will understand the meaning of what Dad said."

Xue Zhi's words also reminded Xue Baochai that if he really married Zhen Baoyu, he must not get involved with Xue Shi, and just live his little life with peace of mind.

Xue Baochai was originally an exquisite and intelligent woman, but after thinking about it for a while, she understood and understood what Xue Zhi said and the hidden meaning behind it.

"Daddy, my daughter is taught!" Xue Baochai said solemnly.

Knowing that Xue Baochai had listened to what he said, Xue Zhi nodded in satisfaction, and then ordered. "I think your marriage with Brother Zhen Bao will be finalized soon, you can go back to the house to make a wedding dress, but don't forget to learn how to be a housekeeper. Your mother will have a father to talk about it!"
