The alternative life of the clever sister of the Red Chamber

Jia She thought for a while, "Old lady, didn't you say that the Queen Mother and Queen intended to betroth Wan'er to His Royal Highness King Qi? How can His Highness King Qi explain it now?"

Jia Mu glanced at him, "The lineage of the King of Dian has guarded Yunnan for generations and guarded the frontier for the imperial court. His status is noble, and the imperial court cannot intervene in the affairs of the Dian Prince's mansion at will. You also said that the Queen Mother and the Empress only intended it, and did not make it clear. Zhi, now the Dian Palace is one step ahead, not to mention that King Qi is only the King of Qi now, even if he really becomes that one, he would not dare to do anything to the Dian Palace. Don't worry."

But Jia Zheng's heart moved, thinking of Aunt Zhao's crying these days, "Although this is true, it is our family who owes His Royal Highness Qi Wang."

As soon as Jia Amnesty heard this, he knew what Jia Zheng was thinking, and so did Jia's mother, "So, what do you want to do?"

Jia Zheng thought for a while, then said carefully: "The third girl is not young anymore, she is also the daughter of the Jia family, a girl from the Duke's Mansion, and she is worthy of her status. Why don't you talk to King Qi and accept three Isn't it the best of both worlds for a girl to be a side concubine?"

"Bah! You really know how to think. Who do you think the King of Qi is, that our family can pick and choose? Sanya, can Sanya compare with Wan'er? Wan'er is the eldest granddaughter of the Duke's mansion, I am a first-rank general, and Lian'er will be a third-rank general in the future. Such an identity as a prince and side concubine is also high. I will not talk about the status of the third girl, and the second master is only a fifth-rank official now! You know What are the backgrounds of the other two side concubines of Prince Qi's Mansion? The second master's idea is really beautiful!" Jia She spit.

Jia's mother also rubbed her temples and said, "My lord is right. Don't bring up such an idea in the future! The matter of the third girl should be done quickly, and don't worry about her family background, just pick someone who is similar. Speaking of self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country and the world, you are not even here now, what are you talking about governing the country and the world? The second wife doesn’t care about the affairs of the third girl, so you just let it go on like this? She is the aunt, and the third girl also calls her A lady. If you tell her, just say what I say, and if you are so confused, don't see Brother Gui again!"

Jia Zheng blushed, "Yes, my son knows." As soon as he said the words, he knew that he was Meng Lang, but after all Tanchun was his daughter, and he also wanted her to have a good home. From his point of view, Tanchun Chun is smart and generous, and it is the time when she is young and beautiful, much better than the crazy Jia Wan.The difference lies in the point of origin.

"Old lady, the wedding date is next year. Wan'er probably won't be able to return to Beijing in time to get married, so what should we do? After all, Wan'er is the eldest granddaughter. When she can't leave the cabinet, none of the elders in the family will be there!" Jia She asked. .

"How about this, you take Lang Geer to Yunnan." Thinking of Li Wan's body, Jia's mother changed her mind again, "Forget it, you take Qiang'er to Yunnan, send Wan'er out of the pavilion and you come back By the way, the escort agency that escorted Wan'er last time was good, you should choose their house too, and send the dowry we prepared for Wan'er too. Miss Feng must have prepared a dowry for Wan'er, and she will bring it with you when the time comes In the past. It is estimated that Feng girl’s letter will arrive in the next few days. You and Qiang’er should discuss how to arrange it at that time! Sigh! Nowadays, there are not many people in our younger generation who can show their hands. Brother Lang is good, but Zhu's daughter-in-law is not in good health, so I can't bear to let Brother Lang leave his mother at this time." Mother Jia shook her head and sighed.

Jia Amnesty had exactly this intention, "My son also means the same thing! I haven't seen Brother Mao since he was born, but this time I just saw him. It would be great if I could abduct him and return to Beijing."

Mother Jia gave him a blank look, "You should stop thinking about it as soon as possible. Now that his sister is about to become Princess Dian, it is better for him to stay there. King Dian is such a brother-in-law, so naturally he has to spend a lot of effort to train him. Last time Didn’t Lian’er’s letter also say that some great scholar was invited to enlighten Brother Mao?”

When Jia Zheng heard this, his heart moved, "The old lady is right, brother Gui is not young anymore, my son thought, I can't let him grow in the hands of a woman, I am afraid that he will be another precious jade in the future. My son thinks... ···”

After hearing this, Jia Mu said angrily, "What do you want to do! How old is Brother Mao, how old is Brother Gui, longer than a woman's hand, and another precious jade? Are you accusing me of delaying your son? In that case, from Ming Dynasty Come on, don't allow brother Gui to come to me again, so as not to delay your grandson again!"

Jia Zheng quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "My son was wrong, and my son definitely didn't mean that. Old lady, don't be angry, don't get angry, it's all my son's fault."

Jia Amnesty was watching the excitement from the sidelines, and Jia's mother glanced at him. Jia Amnesty immediately suppressed the smile on her face and begged for mercy, "Don't be angry, old lady. The second master is also thinking about future generations. It's just the second brother. Brother, I want to say something to you. Brother Gui is still young, and it is not a good thing to study prematurely. Didn’t Brother Mao not start enlightenment until he was nearly four years old? Besides, Baoyu’s daughter-in-law is well-read and knowledgeable, and she has a lot of sages in her boudoir. Even Baoyu’s poems can’t compare to Baoyu’s. With her precepts and deeds, what are you worried about!” The implication is that your wife has delayed your Baoyu into what it is today, so don’t blame the old lady.

Jia Zheng blushed, and kept begging the old lady not to be angry.Mother Jia sighed, "Forget it, it's your grandson, how you want to discipline it is your business. Now it's more important to solve the matter of the third girl first. Yingchun is the mother of two children, and Yu'er has also given birth to him." The eldest son is pregnant with her second child now, what should I do if the third girl delays any longer?"

Jia Zheng immediately put the fire on Mrs. Wang, because she was unkind to her mother, which made her angry with the old lady.How wicked!

After Jia Zheng came out of Mrs. Jia's yard, he went angrily to Mrs. Wang's yard. Jia Gui was playing in Mrs. Wang's yard at that time. Mrs. Wang vented a lot, and then threw up her sleeves and left after saying that she was not virtuous or kind.

A few days later, Mrs. Wang Ziteng came to protect the matchmaker in person. The other party was a distant nephew of Mrs. Wang Ziteng's natal family. His family background was average, his character was fair, and he had a reputation, which was not bad.After listening to it, Mother Jia felt that it was not bad, "Please come to the second master and ask his opinion. Marriage is always the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. It must be ordered by her parents. I, an old woman, think it is good. "

When Jia Zheng came, he hesitated after hearing Mrs. Wang Ziteng's words. In his opinion, this family background was too simple.Mrs. Wang didn't know what he was thinking, and snorted disdainfully, "If the master wants to go to the Gongmenhou's mansion, I can't help it. First, the official position of the master is here, and second, the third girl is good. , after all, is it a concubine? Although our family doesn't pay much attention to these things, some people outside are very fussy. If the master is not satisfied, find someone else!"

Mrs. Wang Ziteng heard Mrs. Wang's words very inappropriately, frowned slightly, glanced at Mrs. Wang, and then said with a smile: "Although my nephew's family background is a little bit poor, his character is good. He is 17 years old. I won Juren, and I still have some property in my family. Although it is not as good as your house, it is safe to have food and clothing. Both parents are gone, and there is only one younger sister in the family. She is twelve years old this year, and she will be married in two or three years Going out. The third girl is the head of the house as soon as she enters the house. The second master should not rush to answer, it is better to ask the third girl what she means. Although marriage matters are based on the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, but in the end it depends on your love and my willingness. Okay. My nephew has nothing to say, now I only care about what the third girl thinks."

When Jia's mother heard this, she knew that Mrs. Wang Ziteng had done enough work. This condition just hit Tanchun's mind. Based on what Jia's mother knew about Tanchun, she would definitely agree.Mother Jia glanced at Mrs. Wang and sighed, alas, she is also someone else's daughter-in-law, so why is she not so lucky to have such a good daughter-in-law!

Sure enough, when the servant girl came back, she brought back Jia Tanchun's words, "Everything is decided by the old lady and the old lady."

Everyone knew that this meant agreeing.Seeing this, Jia Zheng sighed, "Since that's the case, let's settle this matter like this! It's just the third girl's dowry..."

Mrs. Wang Ziteng gave Mrs. Wang a wink, and Mrs. Wang said reluctantly: "The third girl will call me mother anyway. In addition to the public practice, I will take another 1000 taels."

Only then did Jia Zheng glance at Mrs. Wang approvingly, and Jia's mother nodded with a smile, "Very good, the same as the second girl back then, I will also pay 1000 taels."

Jia Zheng thought for a while, and if nothing else, the silver alone is 3000 taels, and he should be able to buy a very appropriate dowry, so he said: "In this case, the dowry will be handed over to the second wife, and it must be done properly." That's right."

After returning, Mrs. Wang looked displeased, "Sister-in-law will only ask me to pay for it blindly, and now I have even handed over the dowry to me. It's not that sister-in-law doesn't know how difficult that bitch is. I'm afraid I’m not doing my best.”

Mrs. Wang Ziteng hated iron and steel and said: "Since you have done your best, you should naturally be decent. With your ability, you will naturally do well. Do you want the third girl to marry into a noble family? It's just that It's a good deal to give up some money in exchange for a good reputation. It's not for anything else, Brother Gui will also talk about marriage sooner or later, is there a grandmother who treats concubine daughters harshly and has a good reputation?"

Only then did Mrs. Wang swallow her heart and said no more.But let her do her best for the daughter born by Aunt Zhao, but she was reluctant in the end, so she simply handed over the matter to Baochai.

Xue Baochai has lived a happy life in the past few years. Now she has a son and everything is fulfilled, and she doesn't care about her husband anymore. Anyway, she has never counted on Jia Baoyu.She is also a legitimate housekeeper grandma. Except for the occasional unhappiness in her natal family, she is good in almost everything, and she has no grudges against Jia Tanchun in the early years.Besides, the dowry has a fixed number, and I just have the palm of my hand, so it doesn't take much trouble.
