Palace Flower as Employment [Red Mansion]
Chapter 23 Estimating the Future
Since Jia Baoyu entered the Grand View Garden, he was like a mouse falling into a rice vat. He either used makeup for the girls or wrote some obscene | words | pornographic | songs. People stuck together again, as well as those cleanups in front of Jia Zheng, these people flattered Jia Baoyu in various ways, and Xue Pan was rich and loose, so Jia Baoyu and Xue Pan got to know these people There are quite a few characters.
For example, Jiang Yuhan.
Then, because of Jiang Yuhan's escape, Jia Baoyu was approached by Chang Shi of Zhongshun Palace, and it was logical.
And Jia Baoyu lied in front of Jia Zheng, and then was exposed by Shi Zhongshun, the head of the palace, which naturally violated Jia Zheng's taboo.When Jin Chuan'er died again, Jia Zheng caught Jia Baoyu and gave him a good beating.
Xue Baochai felt a thump in her heart when she learned that Jia Baoyu had offended Prince Zhongshun because of an actor.
Xue Baochai, who was already very dissatisfied with Jia Baoyu's lack of progress, couldn't help but retreat.
Xue Baochai is a person who is known for his ambitions. The person she wants to marry is the kind of person who can bring her prosperity and wealth, such as the emperor. Otherwise, she would not run for the princess princess. Talented people praise it.It was a golden and jade marriage, and after knowing that there was no hope for him to enter the palace, and knowing that the Xue family had no foundation in the capital, and he didn't know any high-ranking officials, he agreed.
Xue Baochai himself knew how unmotivated Jia Baoyu was, let alone studying a subset of classics and history at a fixed time every day, even if someone persuaded Jia Baoyu to read these serious books, Jia Baoyu would be angry.
How can Xue Baochai like Jia Baoyu like this?
This is also the reason why Xue Baochai treats Jia Baoyu indifferently.
Because Xue Baochai was also hesitating in his heart.
But right now, Xue Baochai is holding on to the golden and jade marriage, not for Jia Baoyu, but for the concubine Jia Yuanchun.The Xue family invested at least 40 taels of property in the Grand View Garden project, and it was also for Jia Yuanchun.
The Xue family needed to participate in the distribution of benefits after Jia Yuanchun gave birth to the prince, so they invested so much money.At the same time, the good marriage of gold and jade has become a symbol of the Xue family's alliance with Mrs. Wang and Jia Yuanchun.
But who would have thought that Jia Baoyu offended Prince Zhongshun?
Xue Baochai doesn't care about any small actors.In her consciousness, King Zhongshun, as the younger brother of the current emperor's mother and compatriot, would lose such an actor?Will Jiang Yuhan be the only actor in Prince Zhongshun's mansion?
Impossible to think.
Therefore, Xue Baochai believed that the Jia family must have done other things, which led to the door-to-door questioning by the head of Zhongshun Wangfu.And Jia Zheng beat Jia Baoyu himself, which showed that the Jia family did not dare to offend the Zhongshun Palace.
Smart people tend to think too much.
Xue Baochai couldn't help analyzing the Jia family, no, it should be said to analyze the strength comparison between Jia Yuanchun and King Zhongshun, and whether Jia Yuanchun dared to offend King Zhongshun.
It is true that Jia Yuanchun is an imperial concubine, but unfortunately, she is not a favorite concubine, and she has never given birth to a concubine, let alone a prince, not even a concubine.In contrast, King Zhongshun is the younger brother of the current emperor, and the Empress Taishang is still there.Isn't it easy for the Empress Dowager to deal with an unfavorable concubine?
Xue Baochai didn't know that Jia Yuanchun had something to do with King Zhongshun's loss of military power and his absurd princely appearance, but he guessed that Jia's family and Jia Yuanchun in the palace couldn't afford to provoke Prince Zhongshun's mansion.
Now, Jia Baoyu, no, Mrs. Jia Zhengwang has offended Prince Zhongshun, why doesn't Xue Baochai think of a way out?
Of course, it is easy to find a way out.She, Xue Baochai, is rich and beautiful. She is only 15 years old this year. It is difficult to find a son of a wealthy family or an official, but is it not easy to find a decent family?It's just that she herself is unwilling to marry into such a family.
In addition, the Xue family just invested 40 yuan in property in the Grand View Garden, and it is impossible to tell now that if Jia Yuanchun really gave birth to a prince in the future, and even became the empress dowager, if he gave up the golden and jade marriage now, wouldn't he be giving up his future glory and wealth? ?Wouldn't the 40 taels of property be wasted in vain?
Xue Baochai thought about it, and finally thought of her cousin Xue Baoqin.
Xue Baoqin has a marriage contract with the young master of Mei Hanlin's family, and Xue Baochai knows about it.Xue Baochai also heard about Mei Hanlin's release.
Xue Baochai figured that since Mother Jia prevaricated herself with the reason that she was old and did not match Jia Baoyu, then her cousin Xue Baoqin was not bad in appearance and manners, so she should be able to meet the requirements of Mother Jia and Jia Baoyu.If Jia Baoyu was obsessed with Xue Baoqin, he could just escape and find another good marriage, for example, Jia Cong.
In Xue Baochai's view, Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng should not be happy that Jia Cong has a powerful wife family, and he has money, but his mother's family has only money but no power, so they should be able to meet the requirements.
So Xue Baochai sent a letter to the south without telling his mother.Sure enough, Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin became anxious when they saw the letter.
They didn't notify them at all when the Mei family was released. They thought the Mei family was still in Beijing.
Xue Tiao Xue Baoqin wrote to Xue Baochai for help.
Xue Baochai immediately wrote a second letter to Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin in the tone of a big sister, suggesting that Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin should go to Beijing. It was as if Jia Yuanchun's name could make Mei Hanlin's family fulfill their marriage contract.
Xue Baochai is only 15 years old this year. Xue Biao is Xue Baochai's cousin, who is younger than Xue Baochai, and Xue Baoqin is even younger. Their mother is not assertive. When she saw Xue Baochai's letter, she immediately urged her son to take her daughter to Beijing.
At the same time, the people sent by Xue Baochai also found Mrs. Xing's natal family, and even brought along Li Wan's widowed aunt and two cousins in order not to appear obtrusive.
It was at this time that Jia Cong and Jia Qi passed the Juren examination. Among them, Jia Cong was the No. 80 Juren, while Jia Qi was the No. 2 Juren.
The happy news of the Gongyuan is reported from the back to the front, that is, the happy news of the last place is sent first, and the No.1 Xie Yuan is the last one.Therefore, Jia Cong's happy news has been delivered for a long time, and Jia Qi's happy news has not yet been seen. Mrs. Jia Shexing thought that Jia Qi had failed the ranking, and she didn't know how to comfort her son, but she didn't want Jia Qi to pass the No. 2 exam. [-]
Although Jie Yuan is not the first name, but I heard that Jie Yuan is in his forties, how old is Jia Qi!
When she received the happy news, Mrs. Jia Shexing's reaction was bigger than Jia Qi's, and she immediately slumped to her seat. It was still Wang Xifeng, calling for someone to invite Mrs. Jia Shexing to an imperial physician, and at the same time notifying everyone, and sending people to set off fireworks firecrackers.
This time, Mrs. Jia Shexing didn't have to hold back the good news.Because when the Gongyuan delivered the happy news, it came with drums and gongs, and they couldn't hide it.
Therefore, when Jia Cong's happy news came, Jia Amnesty distributed three months' money to the whole family, and when Jia Qi's happy news came, Jia Amnesty gave the whole family three months' money, even It was also requested that the fireworks and firecrackers should be set off for three days and three nights without stopping.
With such a big battle, Xue Baochai naturally knew about Jia Cong and Jia Qi's Zhongju.
Xue Baochai discovered that Jia Cong was indeed an excellent choice.Jia Cong is one year older than Jia Baoyu. On the top there is an older brother who was his first wife, and on the bottom there is a younger brother who was born to his stepmother, especially this younger brother. He is smart and deserves to be favored. Nowhere.
Compared with his elder brother and younger brother, Jia Cong doesn't have much sense of existence, but Jia Cong is still a 13-year-old Juren!Although the Xu family didn't come to Jia's mother, Jia Cong had three uncles who were officials in the court. Even though Jia's mother ignored Jia Cong, Jia Cong was top-notch both in terms of his talents and background.
Not to mention, Mrs. Xu, Jia Cong's biological mother, has passed away long ago, and Mrs. Xing is not a serious mother-in-law. Jia Amnesty has long said that once Jia Cong gets married, Mrs. Xu's dowry will be handed over to Jia Cong.What is the difference between marrying Jia Cong and being the master of the house?
Now, the only problem is the marriage of love and happiness.
Xue Baochai pondered all night, and the next day, he sent Jia Cong and Jia Qi generous congratulatory gifts, whether it was for Jia Cong or Jia Qi, both were equally precious and thoughtful.
As for Jia Baoyu, Xue Baochai also made a fuss.
Soon, the maids and women in front of Mrs. Lian Xing were saying: Second Master Bao was beaten, Miss Bao found the medicine, took it herself, and sent it to Second Master Bao across most of the garden.
Mrs. Xing snorted coldly at that time: "What a precious pill, what an infatuated girl."
Jia Baoyu was beaten, who suffered the most?Not Jia Baoyu himself, but Jia Cong and Jia Qi.Among them, Jia Qi is the most important.Jia Cong knew that his article was still a bit short, and he was afraid that he would not be able to participate in the next year's Spring Festival, so Jia Cong had already planned to wait another three years.
But Jia Qi is different.
In the test of scholar, Jia Qi is No. 3 in Gyeonggi, and in the test of Juren, Jia Qi is No. 2 in Qiuwei.It can be said that Jia Qi passed the exam very smoothly after this test. Therefore, in the spring of next year, Jia Qi made it clear that he must not let it go.
It's just that Jia Baoyu was beaten just now, and Jia Zheng has that temper again. I'm afraid that in the end, Jia's mother will force Jia Qi to give up the Spring Festival in February next year for the sake of her sweetheart.
Therefore, Mrs. Xing hopes that Jia Baoyu will be well than anyone else.Because only Jia Baoyu is doing well, next year, Jia Qi will be able to participate in the general examination and palace examination.Letting Jia Qi participate in the examination on time is Madam Xing's biggest wish right now, and it is the only thing Madam Xing can do for her son right now.
The son knows how to make progress, so the mother must pave the way for the son.Otherwise, is it possible to lock his son at home and become Jia Baoyu's second?
It's about her son's future, Mrs. Xing is naturally much more sensitive.
Wang Shanbao's family hadn't reacted yet, seeing Mrs. Xing's strange expression and strange tone of voice, she hurriedly said, "Ma'am, the Xue family took the initiative to promote this golden and jade marriage. Before that, Miss Bao even greeted the second master Bao over there." Woolen cloth."
Mrs. Xing said: "If Baoyao really likes Baoyu, then she has this medicine at home, she should ask the girl to go back and get it as soon as possible, let the imperial physician see it, and then apply it to Baoyu, so as not to give this medicine to the imperial physician. The medicine that Baoyu used was flushed. This is the safest way and the least. Bao girl has always been a prudent and considerate person, so she would not know what to do? But she just waited for the imperial doctor who treated Baoyu to leave. I found out the medicine slowly, but I took the medicine slowly and walked through most of the Grand View Garden, from Hengwu Garden to Yihong Garden. If the medicine was too expensive or it was delivered late , can't you find a girl with fast legs and run to Yihong Courtyard as fast as possible? She did this not to show that she has this medicine at home, nor to show that the medicine is expensive, but Because Baoyu is still playing around behind closed doors, she, Xue Baochai, looks down on Baoyu, a child who is not motivated."
Injuries from stick sores have never been a small problem, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people who were beaten to death in the Yamen.Of course, if the stick sore injury is not taken care of, it is very likely to cause high fever and death.
Xue Baochai has always been famous for his erudition and talent, as careful as dust.Would she really not know?Even if no one was killed at the time, the stick wound would probably cause a high fever afterwards, burning a large living person to death, or even burning a good person into a fool.
If Xue Baochai took Jia Baoyu sincerely in her heart, would she be willing to suffer Jia Baoyu like this?Take such a risk?
Mrs. Xing is very sure, if it was someone else, she might have taken out this medicine at the first time, showed it to the imperial physician, and then used it for Jia Baoyu under the guidance of the imperial physician. What? !
Even if Mrs. Xing herself, ask yourself, even if Jia Baoyu has nothing to do with her, even if she doesn't deal with Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, she can't let Jia Baoyu have an accident just because the child is her favorite. Son.
But Xue Baochai took Jia Baoyu's injury to give himself a sense of presence and reputation, but he didn't care about the possibility that Jia Baoyu took the wrong medicine or the wound was infected.
Mrs. Xing could only shake her head.
Mrs. Xing felt that Xue Baochai was too cold and cruel.Jia Qi killed the little actor because someone was behind the scenes to test Jia Qi and abuse Lin Daiyu, forcing Jia Qi to be ruthless.After all, that little actor was just a bought thing.Even so, Jia Qi asked someone to light the ever-burning lamp for the little actor afterward.
Instead, it was Jia Baoyu, that was the golden and jade marriage that Xue Baochai had been planning for before, and the rich man Xue Baochai wanted to marry. As a result, Xue Baochai saw that Jia Baoyu had offended the nobleman, and immediately put Jia Baoyu's life aside.
How can Mrs. Xing like such a person?
Oh, seeing that your family is beautiful, I did not hesitate to post it upside down, asking your elder brother to marry her, regardless of whether my status is worthy, seeing that your family is not satisfactory, I immediately flashed dozens of miles away, looking at you My brother is going to die?
After such a daughter-in-law is married, who will believe that she will share troubles with her husband's family in the future?
Mrs. Xing didn't know how others viewed Xue Baochai.Anyway, in her eyes, Xue Baochai's evaluation is absolutely negative.
Looking at the generous gift from Xue Baochai, Mrs. Xing felt even more awkward.
At the beginning, Jia Qi was almost blinded, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang became enemies because of this. From then on, Mrs. Xing not only showed no good looks towards Mrs. Wang, but also treated Mrs. Wang's natal relatives and those who had been following Mrs. Wang Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai, mother and daughter are also indifferent.
Before, the Xue family and Xue Baochai still talked about the golden and jade marriage, but in the end, they just treated Jia Baoyu like that; before, the Xue family and Xue Baochai had been following Mrs. Wang, and they only treated Mrs. Xing to save face. With a bang, I sent two rich and thoughtful gifts.
Mrs. Xing didn't think it was strange, so there must be a ghost.
Like Xue Baochai, Wang Xifeng had half of the Wang family's blood flowing on her body, and Wang Xifeng could guess half of what Xue Baochai was thinking.
Wang Xifeng immediately whispered a few words in Mrs. Xing's ear.
Mrs. Xing jumped up at that moment: "You mean Brother Cong?"
Jia Cong is one year older than Jia Baoyu and two years younger than Xue Baochai. In terms of age, Jia Cong is obviously more suitable than Jia Baoyu, let alone Jia Cong is already a Juren.Jia Cong is less than 15 years old this year!No matter what the ranking is, on the outside, Jia Cong is a young talent, who is far better than Jia Baoyu, a guy who only knows how to play.
Comparing the identities and family backgrounds of Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, it goes without saying.
Jia Amnesty himself was a first-class supernatural general appointed by the imperial court. Although he had no power, he never lacked dignity.But Jia Lian was Wai Lang, a member of the Foreign Processing Department of Tongzhou Tongzhi. Just Jia Lian overwhelmed Jia Zheng, who had only an official position and was not dispatched. Jalan and the two are simply incomparable.
Not to mention the in-laws of the two families.
Mrs. Xing's natal family has fallen, but the Zhang family and Xu family are still there!Looking at Jia Zheng, there is only one Wang Ziteng and Li Wan's father, Li Jijiu.
But Wang Ziteng was released in name, but everyone who should know knows that Wang Ziteng was dragged down by Mrs. Wang, whether he can answer the capital in the future, or two; But Mrs. Wang despises Li Jijiu, plus Jia Zhu and Li Wan, the Li family has not been in touch with Mrs. Jia Zhengwang for a long time.Up to now, there is only one Jia Yuanchun on Jia Zheng's side, and Jia Yuanchun's wealth is a mirage built of sand and earth by the sea, and it will disappear after a wave.
Where is it like Jia Yue, who is about to bring another powerful in-law to Jia She's family.
Thinking that Xue Baochai might be eyeing Jia Cong, whom she raised so hard, Mrs. Xing immediately became unhappy.
Mrs. Xing said: "She is also worthy?! She and Baoyu haven't written off their horoscope yet, and the golden and jade marriage has been spread all over the street. Who cares about this kind of woman! I will be the first to say no." After thinking about it Mrs. Xing said again: "Anyway, Cong'er is getting old, and she doesn't go to the old lady's side very much. Let's pay more attention and don't let her take advantage of her loopholes. Cong'er can't be relied on by her! In addition, the Qi family Didn't my brother also win the Juren? Will he take the examination next year?"
Mrs. Xing was talking about Jia Yue's fiancé.
Wang Xifeng immediately replied: "The answer from the Qi family is that in the next year's test, the third and fourth young masters of their family and our uncle will all end up. Therefore, they hope to put the eldest sister's marriage in March, and they will also be able to get married in March." It's after the imperial examination."
After the palace examination, you will be appointed as an official. If you are lucky, Jia Yue will be a ready-made madam after marrying.If you're unlucky, you haven't, Jia Yue is also a lady, not bad.
Furthermore, marrying Jia Yue in March, then getting engaged to Jia Wan, and getting married every two years is a normal procedure.Jia Yue's marriage in March will not delay Jia Wan's future.On the contrary, if only one of the three young masters of the Qi family passed the palace examination, it would be helpful to Jia Wan's marriage, so it would be easier to get a good marriage after Jia Yue got married before making an engagement for Jia Wan.
Not to mention, Jia Qi vowed to go to Jinke High School.
Mrs. Xing is very aware of the importance of the next year's exam to her son. She doesn't want to be too ostentatious. The constant banquets hinder her son's sprint before the exam.
Therefore, Mrs. Xing only told Wang Xifeng to pay attention to Jia Wan's etiquette, and Mrs. Xing didn't have much thought about other matters.
After all, it is more important for the son to study.
Mrs. Xing planned to deal with it coldly. She didn't want to hinder her son's study with a series of banquets, and she didn't want to be entangled by Xue Baochai. Therefore, when she went to greet Jia Mu every day, her face was pale and colder than before. , and became more and more indifferent to Xue Baochai.
Coincidentally, Jia's mother also had no intention of holding any banquet because of Jia Baoyu's beating, and Xue Baochai did the same.
Jia Baoyu was beaten, so Mrs. Wang was naturally concerned. She was concerned about her son's recovery, but she was also concerned about who led Jia Baoyu to death.
However, this time, Lin Daiyu has been filial to her mother and father one after another, and she has not done so until now, and she has only met Jia Baoyu twice so far. The most recent time was five or six years ago, no matter how disgusting she is. No matter how disgusting people are, Lin Daiyu can't be involved.
What about Shi Xiangyun?Since Xue Baochai's birthday hadn't been to Jia's house, it was naturally impossible.
After counting and counting, besides those girls, isn't Xue Baochai the only one left?
This person just can't stand scrutiny. If Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun were standing in front of him, Mrs. Wang would be satisfied with Xue Baochai in every way, but without these two, Mrs. Wang saw that there was a girl like Xue Baochai next to her son. Thinking about it, Mrs. Wang was also angry.
At the beginning, Mrs. Wang didn't think there was anything wrong with Xue Baochai giving medicine to her son, but after thinking about it for two nights, Mrs. Wang found that Xue Baochai was actually despising her son, and Mrs. Wang became angry.
I don't even dislike you for being a business girl and having an older brother who caused trouble, how dare you dislike my son!
After further inquiry, Xue Pan also recognized Jiang Yuhan, and Xue Pan took Jia Baoyu to Huajie Liuxiang.
Mrs. Wang is even more angry.
When she was young, Mrs. Wang was just like Wang Xifeng. She was a sharp and aggressive person. However, after so many years in front of Jiamu, Mrs. Wang's temperament was smoothed out. This does not mean that Mrs. Wang has no city mansion. up.
On the contrary, after so many years in front of Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang's city mansion has already been practiced.
Mrs. Wang knew very well that Xue's family had spent 40 taels of silver on the Grand View Garden and Jia Yuanchun, and they couldn't quit now, because if they quit now, so much money would be wasted.Therefore, Mrs. Wang's attitude towards Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai became even more arrogant.
What a smart person Xue Baochai is, she immediately noticed the change in Mrs. Wang's attitude.
Mrs. Wang's behavior was like the last straw that bent the camel's back, making Xue Baochai, who had already started to retreat, more and more sure of her decision.
this one thing,
This comparison again and again,
This day-to-day assessment,
Xue Baochai finally made up his mind.
People like Jia Baoyu,
Can not marry.
Therefore, Xue Baochai didn't care about Mrs. Wang's making things difficult, but she hadn't convinced her mother yet, so she could only endure it.
Besides, the Xue family's 40 taels of silver cannot be wasted, and the Xue family cannot give up the benefits that Jia Yuanchun will bring in the future.
Xue Baochai accelerated his secret actions.
So, in October of this year, Xue Baoqin, Xing Xiuyan, Li Wen, and Li Qi stood in front of Jiamu, like a bunch of water onions in the words of mandarin ducks and Xiren.
But Jia Baoyu was very happy.
After recovering from the injury for more than a month, Jia Baoyu can be said to be able to go to the ground, but right now he is still on crutches.
However, Jia Baoyu is that kind of person.In his own words, it is: "... Seeing so many sisters and sisters, my body doesn't hurt anymore."
Hearing what Jia Baoyu said, Xue Baochai couldn't tell whether it was relaxed or complicated.
On the other hand, Xue Baoqin received unanimously high praise from Jia's mother.
Xue Baoqin is really beautiful, innocent and innocent, not as accidental as Xue Baochai, nor as tricky as Shi Xiangyun, Xue's family is rich, her brother loves her, and is willing to spend money to dress her up, so she looks beautiful and dresses gorgeously, Xue Baoqin, who is also talented in literature, is naturally loved by Jia's mother, Jia Baoyu. Even Mrs. Wang, who heard that Xue Baoqin has already settled down, is also kind to Xue Baoqin.
Mrs. Wang was even very polite to Xing Xiuyan, and she took the initiative to invite Xing Xiuyan to stay in the Grand View Garden: "Now my sister-in-law is busy with Sister Wan's wedding ceremony, and I will just pack up the house in a short while. The maids and women are also not complete. Unlike the Grand View Garden, where several places are empty, the maids and women are all in place."
Mrs. Xing is not the kind of person who can hide her thoughts. She was really surprised that the Xing family would come. Naturally, Xing Xiuyan noticed her expression.
As for Xing Xiuyan, seeing Mrs. Xing's hesitation, she thought her aunt did not welcome her, and seeing Jia Baoyu also interceded with Jia's mother, so she agreed.
In this way, Li Wan's widowed aunt brought Li Wen and Li Qi into Li Wan's Daoxiang Village, Xue Baoqin followed Xue Baochai to live in Hengwuyuan, but Xing Xiuyan lived alone in Luxue'an.
The first poetry club in the Grand View Garden was held under such circumstances.
Different from the original book, in the second month after moving into the Grand View Garden, Tanchun posted an extremely elegant post with Jia Baoyu, with Jia Baoyu’s full support and Lin Daiyu’s poems at the beginning, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu They are the two favorites of Jia Mu's bright face, and the poetry club was naturally established smoothly.
But now?
Lin Daiyu went back to her father after the Double Ninth Festival in the year when her mother became filial, and then came to Jia's house after Lin Ruhai passed away.For so many years, Lin Daiyu also kowtowed to Jia Mu when she entered Jia's house for the second time, and never appeared in front of Jia Mu again. Counting the time, Jia Baoyu and Tanchun have not seen each other for six full years. I passed Lin Daiyu's face.
Xue Baochai has a serious temper, Yingchun is boring, Xichun is cold, Jia Baoyu doesn't touch poetry and books, and Shi Xiangyun, who loves to laugh and make trouble, hasn't come since Xue Baochai's birthday. Can afford a poetry club?
In addition to various things this year, first Jia Yue got married and prepared a dowry. The dowry changed from 9 to 15, then to more than [-], and finally to [-].Jia Yue's dowry deeply stimulated Tanchun, how could Tanchun have the mood to start a poetry club?Later, when Jia Lian became an official, he also took the post of Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry who led the dispatch, and stimulated Mrs. Jia Zhengwang. How could Tanchun dare to provoke Mrs. Jia Zhengwang to make him feel uncomfortable?
Now, there are so many beautiful girls in the Grand View Garden. Although their mouths are modest, they all have learned poetry. Jia Baoyu is so happy that Tanchun sent a very elegant post to his brother. Naturally, Just set up the poetry club.
Li Wan was very much in favor of this, and found three reasons to support Tanchun. However, Li Wan did not forget to remind Jia Baoyu to ask Jia's mother to bring Shi Xiangyun over.
And Xue Baochai couldn't find a way to curry favor with Mrs. Xing. Seeing that Tanchun had set up a poetry club, she immediately said: "Since we want to do this, we should invite Sister Xuan and Sister Han who are in front of the eldest lady." Sister Yue and Sister Wan are engaged, and the other is too old to come. But Sister Xuan and Sister Han are at the age of fun. Since we have established a poetry club, we should not put them dropped."
Jia Baoyu and others agreed again and again.
After discussing with each other, they came to find Jia Mu.
Mother Jia was also happy, but said that it was late today and she would pick up Shi Xiangyun tomorrow.
They sent someone to ask Mrs. Xing, but both Jia Xuan and Jia Han declined.One said that the second aunt's wedding ceremony was going to be held next month, and she had to entertain guests, practice etiquette, and try on clothes, so she didn't have time;
Jia Baoyu tormented Jia Mu for a long time, and Jia Mu then sent someone to ask Lin Daiyu. As a result, Jia Qi sent someone to tell Jia Mu Jia Baoyu that Lin Daiyu would not be filial piety until the twelfth lunar month, and Jia Baoyu asked Jia Baoyu to play by herself first.
Jia Baoyu was very depressed.If Shi Xiangyun hadn't come the next day, I'm afraid Jia Baoyu would continue to be depressed.
Shi Xiangyun loves to laugh and make trouble, and with her and Jia Baoyu around, he can leave a lot of laughter.She is also known for being talented, with her and Xue Baoqin, the poetry club is still lively.
However, it costs money to run a poetry club.
Tanchun is paid two taels of silver per month plus two taels of makeup money, a total of four taels a month.But Tanchun's expense is also high, to please the aunt, to make shoes for Jia Baoyu, and to do the ups and downs, even if she has to save a few shillings for Jia Baoyu to bring her some gadgets, it will take several months.
Shi Xiangyun was assigned by the historian, and the monthly income of the girls of the Shi family was not as good as that of the girls of the Jia family, and Shi Xiangyun was loose-handed, so naturally he had no money.
Li Wan is an iron rooster. She has never seen her saving money for her son, but never seen her taking money out of her pocket.
Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin are guests again, so it's not good that the First Poetry Club will let the guests pay.
In the end, it was Jia Baoyu who said he would come out.
But who would have thought that at this time, Xiren's mother was not well, and Xiren went home.After Xiren beat Jia Baoyu, he regarded Jia Baoyu as his own man and Jia Baoyu's money as his own money. , were taken back to her natal family by the attackers.
There are just a few hanging coins under the bed, which is not enough at all.
In the end, the first poetry club in the Grand View Garden could only make up members.
Li Wan was the first to say that since she is the president, the first poetry club will be run in her Xinghua Village (without Lin Daiyu's Daoxiang poems, Xinghua Village would not have been changed by Jia Yuanchun. Daoxiang Village), Li Wan used this method to save his two cousins' share.
Then, Xue Baochai, Xue Baoqin and Sanchun also gave out money, but the problem was that Shi Xiangyun and Xing Xiuyan had no money.
Xue Baochai proposed that she should come out for Shi Xiangyun and Xing Xiuyan's share.
Xue Baochai wanted to marry Jia Cong, so she would naturally try her best to please Mrs. Xing, and paying for Xing Xiuyan was just her way to indirectly please Mrs. Xing.
As for helping Shi Xiangyun with money, it was naturally to please Mother Jia.
Xue Baochai's calculation was very good, but she never expected that not long after she opened her mouth, she saw You Ruo who was beside Jia Qi coming over with two packages.
Jia Baoyu, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, and Yingchun Tanchun Xichun were all uncomfortable seeing You Ruo.
They remembered the little actor whose head was cut off by You Ruo with a sword.
Especially Shi Xiangyun, when she saw You Ruo, she seemed to be drenched with blood all over her face, and she shivered at that moment.If Li Wan hadn't supported her, she might have fallen.
You Ruo didn't seem to notice it, after she saluted all the young masters and girls, she said to Xing Xiuyan: "Biao girl, our fourth master said that if the girls and young men in the Grand View Garden get together, they will probably make a poem together." For fear that Biao girl will not be around, I asked my maid to send 20 taels of silver to Biao girl."
As he said, he took out a small package from his bosom and handed it to Xing Xiuyan's girl, Zhuan'er.
Pointing to the two parcels again, he said, "Inside here is a bird-gold fur coat and a duckweed fur coat. Inside this is an ermine jacket and a gorilla felt feather gauze cloak. This year, Miss Lin's family sent quite a few Clothing materials include bird gold, phoenix, phoenix feather, magnolia, and other patterns. Our wife, grandma, and all the girls have made a suit for each of them. These are the original Miss Lin's, but Miss Lin is still in the filial piety, so she can't wear this, so she specially made it out, first for the cousin girl, and after Miss Lin is out of filial piety, it's the same to do it again. Our master said, the ones in Beijing Winter is no better than in the south, if it freezes, it’s no joke.”
Then, he took out a small box with a square shape, inside were two or three pieces of jade pendants, several pairs of earrings and four shrimp whiskers, etc. Although they were all newly made, they were not complete sets. Let Xing Xiuyan play.
After handing over the things, You Ruo ignored Xing Xiuyan's persuasion and left.
Looking at these things in front of her, Xing Xiuyan was stunned, not knowing how to react.
She thought that her aunt didn't like her, but she didn't expect Jia Qi to ask someone to send this.All of a sudden, my heart was full of five flavors, and I couldn't tell what it was like.
Li Wen, Li Qi and Xue Baoqin are naturally curious about Jia Qi. It can be seen that Jia Baoyu, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, Tanchun Li Wan and the others saw You Ruo's reaction was not right. The fourth master became more and more curious.
I don't want to, later that day, Mother Jia actually took out a bird gold fur from her private room and gave it to Jia Baoyu, and gave Xue Baoqin another fur coat from her private room. The girls' reactions were even more strange. up.
What a powerful person Jia Mu is, her grandchildren's reactions are strange, even the reactions of these new guests are very strange, why don't you ask?
Hearing that Jia Qi sent You Ruo to give clothes to Xing Xiuyan, Jia's mother couldn't help but say: "This brother Qi! He pays attention to these things!" Then she said to the guests: "You don't know, that's my boss My youngest son, among so many children, his father loves him the most. If there is any good thing, he is the first to be close to him. He and my granddaughter were engaged early. His third brother has not yet engaged! Then he said to Xing Xiuyan: "He gives you something, you just accept it. Don't worry, he is a rich man just like his father."
Although Xing Xiuyan accepted the things, she was still puzzled.
In Xing Xiuyan's memory, the Xing family's family background has always been very poor. She lived in a temple when she was very young, and thanks to Miaoyu who brought her hair to practice in that temple, she was able to read and write.
Although the Xing family was in decline, when Xing Xiuyan was at home, she also heard from her parents. It is said that when her eldest aunt, Mrs. Xing, was at home, the Xing family's family background was quite good.Now, hearing Jia's mother say that Jia Qi is a rich man, Xing Xiuyan doesn't think that this younger cousin will have other sources of money.
Not only Xing Xiuyan, but even Xing Xiuyan's little girl, Zhuan'er, believed in the words "Mrs. Xing took away all the Xing family's belongings when she got married, so that the Xing family fell to where it is today".
Xing Xiuyan is not an idiot, she naturally knows what to say and what not to say, not only does she not say this herself, but she also restrains Zhuan'er, not allowing this little girl to talk too much.
Xing Xiuyan knew that it was Mrs. Xing's face that she could live in the Grand View Garden and receive the same monthly payment as the girls in the Grand View Garden, and her cousin even gave her clothes and accessories, so she couldn't repay her kindness.
However, some
For example, Jiang Yuhan.
Then, because of Jiang Yuhan's escape, Jia Baoyu was approached by Chang Shi of Zhongshun Palace, and it was logical.
And Jia Baoyu lied in front of Jia Zheng, and then was exposed by Shi Zhongshun, the head of the palace, which naturally violated Jia Zheng's taboo.When Jin Chuan'er died again, Jia Zheng caught Jia Baoyu and gave him a good beating.
Xue Baochai felt a thump in her heart when she learned that Jia Baoyu had offended Prince Zhongshun because of an actor.
Xue Baochai, who was already very dissatisfied with Jia Baoyu's lack of progress, couldn't help but retreat.
Xue Baochai is a person who is known for his ambitions. The person she wants to marry is the kind of person who can bring her prosperity and wealth, such as the emperor. Otherwise, she would not run for the princess princess. Talented people praise it.It was a golden and jade marriage, and after knowing that there was no hope for him to enter the palace, and knowing that the Xue family had no foundation in the capital, and he didn't know any high-ranking officials, he agreed.
Xue Baochai himself knew how unmotivated Jia Baoyu was, let alone studying a subset of classics and history at a fixed time every day, even if someone persuaded Jia Baoyu to read these serious books, Jia Baoyu would be angry.
How can Xue Baochai like Jia Baoyu like this?
This is also the reason why Xue Baochai treats Jia Baoyu indifferently.
Because Xue Baochai was also hesitating in his heart.
But right now, Xue Baochai is holding on to the golden and jade marriage, not for Jia Baoyu, but for the concubine Jia Yuanchun.The Xue family invested at least 40 taels of property in the Grand View Garden project, and it was also for Jia Yuanchun.
The Xue family needed to participate in the distribution of benefits after Jia Yuanchun gave birth to the prince, so they invested so much money.At the same time, the good marriage of gold and jade has become a symbol of the Xue family's alliance with Mrs. Wang and Jia Yuanchun.
But who would have thought that Jia Baoyu offended Prince Zhongshun?
Xue Baochai doesn't care about any small actors.In her consciousness, King Zhongshun, as the younger brother of the current emperor's mother and compatriot, would lose such an actor?Will Jiang Yuhan be the only actor in Prince Zhongshun's mansion?
Impossible to think.
Therefore, Xue Baochai believed that the Jia family must have done other things, which led to the door-to-door questioning by the head of Zhongshun Wangfu.And Jia Zheng beat Jia Baoyu himself, which showed that the Jia family did not dare to offend the Zhongshun Palace.
Smart people tend to think too much.
Xue Baochai couldn't help analyzing the Jia family, no, it should be said to analyze the strength comparison between Jia Yuanchun and King Zhongshun, and whether Jia Yuanchun dared to offend King Zhongshun.
It is true that Jia Yuanchun is an imperial concubine, but unfortunately, she is not a favorite concubine, and she has never given birth to a concubine, let alone a prince, not even a concubine.In contrast, King Zhongshun is the younger brother of the current emperor, and the Empress Taishang is still there.Isn't it easy for the Empress Dowager to deal with an unfavorable concubine?
Xue Baochai didn't know that Jia Yuanchun had something to do with King Zhongshun's loss of military power and his absurd princely appearance, but he guessed that Jia's family and Jia Yuanchun in the palace couldn't afford to provoke Prince Zhongshun's mansion.
Now, Jia Baoyu, no, Mrs. Jia Zhengwang has offended Prince Zhongshun, why doesn't Xue Baochai think of a way out?
Of course, it is easy to find a way out.She, Xue Baochai, is rich and beautiful. She is only 15 years old this year. It is difficult to find a son of a wealthy family or an official, but is it not easy to find a decent family?It's just that she herself is unwilling to marry into such a family.
In addition, the Xue family just invested 40 yuan in property in the Grand View Garden, and it is impossible to tell now that if Jia Yuanchun really gave birth to a prince in the future, and even became the empress dowager, if he gave up the golden and jade marriage now, wouldn't he be giving up his future glory and wealth? ?Wouldn't the 40 taels of property be wasted in vain?
Xue Baochai thought about it, and finally thought of her cousin Xue Baoqin.
Xue Baoqin has a marriage contract with the young master of Mei Hanlin's family, and Xue Baochai knows about it.Xue Baochai also heard about Mei Hanlin's release.
Xue Baochai figured that since Mother Jia prevaricated herself with the reason that she was old and did not match Jia Baoyu, then her cousin Xue Baoqin was not bad in appearance and manners, so she should be able to meet the requirements of Mother Jia and Jia Baoyu.If Jia Baoyu was obsessed with Xue Baoqin, he could just escape and find another good marriage, for example, Jia Cong.
In Xue Baochai's view, Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng should not be happy that Jia Cong has a powerful wife family, and he has money, but his mother's family has only money but no power, so they should be able to meet the requirements.
So Xue Baochai sent a letter to the south without telling his mother.Sure enough, Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin became anxious when they saw the letter.
They didn't notify them at all when the Mei family was released. They thought the Mei family was still in Beijing.
Xue Tiao Xue Baoqin wrote to Xue Baochai for help.
Xue Baochai immediately wrote a second letter to Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin in the tone of a big sister, suggesting that Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin should go to Beijing. It was as if Jia Yuanchun's name could make Mei Hanlin's family fulfill their marriage contract.
Xue Baochai is only 15 years old this year. Xue Biao is Xue Baochai's cousin, who is younger than Xue Baochai, and Xue Baoqin is even younger. Their mother is not assertive. When she saw Xue Baochai's letter, she immediately urged her son to take her daughter to Beijing.
At the same time, the people sent by Xue Baochai also found Mrs. Xing's natal family, and even brought along Li Wan's widowed aunt and two cousins in order not to appear obtrusive.
It was at this time that Jia Cong and Jia Qi passed the Juren examination. Among them, Jia Cong was the No. 80 Juren, while Jia Qi was the No. 2 Juren.
The happy news of the Gongyuan is reported from the back to the front, that is, the happy news of the last place is sent first, and the No.1 Xie Yuan is the last one.Therefore, Jia Cong's happy news has been delivered for a long time, and Jia Qi's happy news has not yet been seen. Mrs. Jia Shexing thought that Jia Qi had failed the ranking, and she didn't know how to comfort her son, but she didn't want Jia Qi to pass the No. 2 exam. [-]
Although Jie Yuan is not the first name, but I heard that Jie Yuan is in his forties, how old is Jia Qi!
When she received the happy news, Mrs. Jia Shexing's reaction was bigger than Jia Qi's, and she immediately slumped to her seat. It was still Wang Xifeng, calling for someone to invite Mrs. Jia Shexing to an imperial physician, and at the same time notifying everyone, and sending people to set off fireworks firecrackers.
This time, Mrs. Jia Shexing didn't have to hold back the good news.Because when the Gongyuan delivered the happy news, it came with drums and gongs, and they couldn't hide it.
Therefore, when Jia Cong's happy news came, Jia Amnesty distributed three months' money to the whole family, and when Jia Qi's happy news came, Jia Amnesty gave the whole family three months' money, even It was also requested that the fireworks and firecrackers should be set off for three days and three nights without stopping.
With such a big battle, Xue Baochai naturally knew about Jia Cong and Jia Qi's Zhongju.
Xue Baochai discovered that Jia Cong was indeed an excellent choice.Jia Cong is one year older than Jia Baoyu. On the top there is an older brother who was his first wife, and on the bottom there is a younger brother who was born to his stepmother, especially this younger brother. He is smart and deserves to be favored. Nowhere.
Compared with his elder brother and younger brother, Jia Cong doesn't have much sense of existence, but Jia Cong is still a 13-year-old Juren!Although the Xu family didn't come to Jia's mother, Jia Cong had three uncles who were officials in the court. Even though Jia's mother ignored Jia Cong, Jia Cong was top-notch both in terms of his talents and background.
Not to mention, Mrs. Xu, Jia Cong's biological mother, has passed away long ago, and Mrs. Xing is not a serious mother-in-law. Jia Amnesty has long said that once Jia Cong gets married, Mrs. Xu's dowry will be handed over to Jia Cong.What is the difference between marrying Jia Cong and being the master of the house?
Now, the only problem is the marriage of love and happiness.
Xue Baochai pondered all night, and the next day, he sent Jia Cong and Jia Qi generous congratulatory gifts, whether it was for Jia Cong or Jia Qi, both were equally precious and thoughtful.
As for Jia Baoyu, Xue Baochai also made a fuss.
Soon, the maids and women in front of Mrs. Lian Xing were saying: Second Master Bao was beaten, Miss Bao found the medicine, took it herself, and sent it to Second Master Bao across most of the garden.
Mrs. Xing snorted coldly at that time: "What a precious pill, what an infatuated girl."
Jia Baoyu was beaten, who suffered the most?Not Jia Baoyu himself, but Jia Cong and Jia Qi.Among them, Jia Qi is the most important.Jia Cong knew that his article was still a bit short, and he was afraid that he would not be able to participate in the next year's Spring Festival, so Jia Cong had already planned to wait another three years.
But Jia Qi is different.
In the test of scholar, Jia Qi is No. 3 in Gyeonggi, and in the test of Juren, Jia Qi is No. 2 in Qiuwei.It can be said that Jia Qi passed the exam very smoothly after this test. Therefore, in the spring of next year, Jia Qi made it clear that he must not let it go.
It's just that Jia Baoyu was beaten just now, and Jia Zheng has that temper again. I'm afraid that in the end, Jia's mother will force Jia Qi to give up the Spring Festival in February next year for the sake of her sweetheart.
Therefore, Mrs. Xing hopes that Jia Baoyu will be well than anyone else.Because only Jia Baoyu is doing well, next year, Jia Qi will be able to participate in the general examination and palace examination.Letting Jia Qi participate in the examination on time is Madam Xing's biggest wish right now, and it is the only thing Madam Xing can do for her son right now.
The son knows how to make progress, so the mother must pave the way for the son.Otherwise, is it possible to lock his son at home and become Jia Baoyu's second?
It's about her son's future, Mrs. Xing is naturally much more sensitive.
Wang Shanbao's family hadn't reacted yet, seeing Mrs. Xing's strange expression and strange tone of voice, she hurriedly said, "Ma'am, the Xue family took the initiative to promote this golden and jade marriage. Before that, Miss Bao even greeted the second master Bao over there." Woolen cloth."
Mrs. Xing said: "If Baoyao really likes Baoyu, then she has this medicine at home, she should ask the girl to go back and get it as soon as possible, let the imperial physician see it, and then apply it to Baoyu, so as not to give this medicine to the imperial physician. The medicine that Baoyu used was flushed. This is the safest way and the least. Bao girl has always been a prudent and considerate person, so she would not know what to do? But she just waited for the imperial doctor who treated Baoyu to leave. I found out the medicine slowly, but I took the medicine slowly and walked through most of the Grand View Garden, from Hengwu Garden to Yihong Garden. If the medicine was too expensive or it was delivered late , can't you find a girl with fast legs and run to Yihong Courtyard as fast as possible? She did this not to show that she has this medicine at home, nor to show that the medicine is expensive, but Because Baoyu is still playing around behind closed doors, she, Xue Baochai, looks down on Baoyu, a child who is not motivated."
Injuries from stick sores have never been a small problem, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people who were beaten to death in the Yamen.Of course, if the stick sore injury is not taken care of, it is very likely to cause high fever and death.
Xue Baochai has always been famous for his erudition and talent, as careful as dust.Would she really not know?Even if no one was killed at the time, the stick wound would probably cause a high fever afterwards, burning a large living person to death, or even burning a good person into a fool.
If Xue Baochai took Jia Baoyu sincerely in her heart, would she be willing to suffer Jia Baoyu like this?Take such a risk?
Mrs. Xing is very sure, if it was someone else, she might have taken out this medicine at the first time, showed it to the imperial physician, and then used it for Jia Baoyu under the guidance of the imperial physician. What? !
Even if Mrs. Xing herself, ask yourself, even if Jia Baoyu has nothing to do with her, even if she doesn't deal with Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, she can't let Jia Baoyu have an accident just because the child is her favorite. Son.
But Xue Baochai took Jia Baoyu's injury to give himself a sense of presence and reputation, but he didn't care about the possibility that Jia Baoyu took the wrong medicine or the wound was infected.
Mrs. Xing could only shake her head.
Mrs. Xing felt that Xue Baochai was too cold and cruel.Jia Qi killed the little actor because someone was behind the scenes to test Jia Qi and abuse Lin Daiyu, forcing Jia Qi to be ruthless.After all, that little actor was just a bought thing.Even so, Jia Qi asked someone to light the ever-burning lamp for the little actor afterward.
Instead, it was Jia Baoyu, that was the golden and jade marriage that Xue Baochai had been planning for before, and the rich man Xue Baochai wanted to marry. As a result, Xue Baochai saw that Jia Baoyu had offended the nobleman, and immediately put Jia Baoyu's life aside.
How can Mrs. Xing like such a person?
Oh, seeing that your family is beautiful, I did not hesitate to post it upside down, asking your elder brother to marry her, regardless of whether my status is worthy, seeing that your family is not satisfactory, I immediately flashed dozens of miles away, looking at you My brother is going to die?
After such a daughter-in-law is married, who will believe that she will share troubles with her husband's family in the future?
Mrs. Xing didn't know how others viewed Xue Baochai.Anyway, in her eyes, Xue Baochai's evaluation is absolutely negative.
Looking at the generous gift from Xue Baochai, Mrs. Xing felt even more awkward.
At the beginning, Jia Qi was almost blinded, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang became enemies because of this. From then on, Mrs. Xing not only showed no good looks towards Mrs. Wang, but also treated Mrs. Wang's natal relatives and those who had been following Mrs. Wang Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai, mother and daughter are also indifferent.
Before, the Xue family and Xue Baochai still talked about the golden and jade marriage, but in the end, they just treated Jia Baoyu like that; before, the Xue family and Xue Baochai had been following Mrs. Wang, and they only treated Mrs. Xing to save face. With a bang, I sent two rich and thoughtful gifts.
Mrs. Xing didn't think it was strange, so there must be a ghost.
Like Xue Baochai, Wang Xifeng had half of the Wang family's blood flowing on her body, and Wang Xifeng could guess half of what Xue Baochai was thinking.
Wang Xifeng immediately whispered a few words in Mrs. Xing's ear.
Mrs. Xing jumped up at that moment: "You mean Brother Cong?"
Jia Cong is one year older than Jia Baoyu and two years younger than Xue Baochai. In terms of age, Jia Cong is obviously more suitable than Jia Baoyu, let alone Jia Cong is already a Juren.Jia Cong is less than 15 years old this year!No matter what the ranking is, on the outside, Jia Cong is a young talent, who is far better than Jia Baoyu, a guy who only knows how to play.
Comparing the identities and family backgrounds of Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, it goes without saying.
Jia Amnesty himself was a first-class supernatural general appointed by the imperial court. Although he had no power, he never lacked dignity.But Jia Lian was Wai Lang, a member of the Foreign Processing Department of Tongzhou Tongzhi. Just Jia Lian overwhelmed Jia Zheng, who had only an official position and was not dispatched. Jalan and the two are simply incomparable.
Not to mention the in-laws of the two families.
Mrs. Xing's natal family has fallen, but the Zhang family and Xu family are still there!Looking at Jia Zheng, there is only one Wang Ziteng and Li Wan's father, Li Jijiu.
But Wang Ziteng was released in name, but everyone who should know knows that Wang Ziteng was dragged down by Mrs. Wang, whether he can answer the capital in the future, or two; But Mrs. Wang despises Li Jijiu, plus Jia Zhu and Li Wan, the Li family has not been in touch with Mrs. Jia Zhengwang for a long time.Up to now, there is only one Jia Yuanchun on Jia Zheng's side, and Jia Yuanchun's wealth is a mirage built of sand and earth by the sea, and it will disappear after a wave.
Where is it like Jia Yue, who is about to bring another powerful in-law to Jia She's family.
Thinking that Xue Baochai might be eyeing Jia Cong, whom she raised so hard, Mrs. Xing immediately became unhappy.
Mrs. Xing said: "She is also worthy?! She and Baoyu haven't written off their horoscope yet, and the golden and jade marriage has been spread all over the street. Who cares about this kind of woman! I will be the first to say no." After thinking about it Mrs. Xing said again: "Anyway, Cong'er is getting old, and she doesn't go to the old lady's side very much. Let's pay more attention and don't let her take advantage of her loopholes. Cong'er can't be relied on by her! In addition, the Qi family Didn't my brother also win the Juren? Will he take the examination next year?"
Mrs. Xing was talking about Jia Yue's fiancé.
Wang Xifeng immediately replied: "The answer from the Qi family is that in the next year's test, the third and fourth young masters of their family and our uncle will all end up. Therefore, they hope to put the eldest sister's marriage in March, and they will also be able to get married in March." It's after the imperial examination."
After the palace examination, you will be appointed as an official. If you are lucky, Jia Yue will be a ready-made madam after marrying.If you're unlucky, you haven't, Jia Yue is also a lady, not bad.
Furthermore, marrying Jia Yue in March, then getting engaged to Jia Wan, and getting married every two years is a normal procedure.Jia Yue's marriage in March will not delay Jia Wan's future.On the contrary, if only one of the three young masters of the Qi family passed the palace examination, it would be helpful to Jia Wan's marriage, so it would be easier to get a good marriage after Jia Yue got married before making an engagement for Jia Wan.
Not to mention, Jia Qi vowed to go to Jinke High School.
Mrs. Xing is very aware of the importance of the next year's exam to her son. She doesn't want to be too ostentatious. The constant banquets hinder her son's sprint before the exam.
Therefore, Mrs. Xing only told Wang Xifeng to pay attention to Jia Wan's etiquette, and Mrs. Xing didn't have much thought about other matters.
After all, it is more important for the son to study.
Mrs. Xing planned to deal with it coldly. She didn't want to hinder her son's study with a series of banquets, and she didn't want to be entangled by Xue Baochai. Therefore, when she went to greet Jia Mu every day, her face was pale and colder than before. , and became more and more indifferent to Xue Baochai.
Coincidentally, Jia's mother also had no intention of holding any banquet because of Jia Baoyu's beating, and Xue Baochai did the same.
Jia Baoyu was beaten, so Mrs. Wang was naturally concerned. She was concerned about her son's recovery, but she was also concerned about who led Jia Baoyu to death.
However, this time, Lin Daiyu has been filial to her mother and father one after another, and she has not done so until now, and she has only met Jia Baoyu twice so far. The most recent time was five or six years ago, no matter how disgusting she is. No matter how disgusting people are, Lin Daiyu can't be involved.
What about Shi Xiangyun?Since Xue Baochai's birthday hadn't been to Jia's house, it was naturally impossible.
After counting and counting, besides those girls, isn't Xue Baochai the only one left?
This person just can't stand scrutiny. If Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun were standing in front of him, Mrs. Wang would be satisfied with Xue Baochai in every way, but without these two, Mrs. Wang saw that there was a girl like Xue Baochai next to her son. Thinking about it, Mrs. Wang was also angry.
At the beginning, Mrs. Wang didn't think there was anything wrong with Xue Baochai giving medicine to her son, but after thinking about it for two nights, Mrs. Wang found that Xue Baochai was actually despising her son, and Mrs. Wang became angry.
I don't even dislike you for being a business girl and having an older brother who caused trouble, how dare you dislike my son!
After further inquiry, Xue Pan also recognized Jiang Yuhan, and Xue Pan took Jia Baoyu to Huajie Liuxiang.
Mrs. Wang is even more angry.
When she was young, Mrs. Wang was just like Wang Xifeng. She was a sharp and aggressive person. However, after so many years in front of Jiamu, Mrs. Wang's temperament was smoothed out. This does not mean that Mrs. Wang has no city mansion. up.
On the contrary, after so many years in front of Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang's city mansion has already been practiced.
Mrs. Wang knew very well that Xue's family had spent 40 taels of silver on the Grand View Garden and Jia Yuanchun, and they couldn't quit now, because if they quit now, so much money would be wasted.Therefore, Mrs. Wang's attitude towards Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai became even more arrogant.
What a smart person Xue Baochai is, she immediately noticed the change in Mrs. Wang's attitude.
Mrs. Wang's behavior was like the last straw that bent the camel's back, making Xue Baochai, who had already started to retreat, more and more sure of her decision.
this one thing,
This comparison again and again,
This day-to-day assessment,
Xue Baochai finally made up his mind.
People like Jia Baoyu,
Can not marry.
Therefore, Xue Baochai didn't care about Mrs. Wang's making things difficult, but she hadn't convinced her mother yet, so she could only endure it.
Besides, the Xue family's 40 taels of silver cannot be wasted, and the Xue family cannot give up the benefits that Jia Yuanchun will bring in the future.
Xue Baochai accelerated his secret actions.
So, in October of this year, Xue Baoqin, Xing Xiuyan, Li Wen, and Li Qi stood in front of Jiamu, like a bunch of water onions in the words of mandarin ducks and Xiren.
But Jia Baoyu was very happy.
After recovering from the injury for more than a month, Jia Baoyu can be said to be able to go to the ground, but right now he is still on crutches.
However, Jia Baoyu is that kind of person.In his own words, it is: "... Seeing so many sisters and sisters, my body doesn't hurt anymore."
Hearing what Jia Baoyu said, Xue Baochai couldn't tell whether it was relaxed or complicated.
On the other hand, Xue Baoqin received unanimously high praise from Jia's mother.
Xue Baoqin is really beautiful, innocent and innocent, not as accidental as Xue Baochai, nor as tricky as Shi Xiangyun, Xue's family is rich, her brother loves her, and is willing to spend money to dress her up, so she looks beautiful and dresses gorgeously, Xue Baoqin, who is also talented in literature, is naturally loved by Jia's mother, Jia Baoyu. Even Mrs. Wang, who heard that Xue Baoqin has already settled down, is also kind to Xue Baoqin.
Mrs. Wang was even very polite to Xing Xiuyan, and she took the initiative to invite Xing Xiuyan to stay in the Grand View Garden: "Now my sister-in-law is busy with Sister Wan's wedding ceremony, and I will just pack up the house in a short while. The maids and women are also not complete. Unlike the Grand View Garden, where several places are empty, the maids and women are all in place."
Mrs. Xing is not the kind of person who can hide her thoughts. She was really surprised that the Xing family would come. Naturally, Xing Xiuyan noticed her expression.
As for Xing Xiuyan, seeing Mrs. Xing's hesitation, she thought her aunt did not welcome her, and seeing Jia Baoyu also interceded with Jia's mother, so she agreed.
In this way, Li Wan's widowed aunt brought Li Wen and Li Qi into Li Wan's Daoxiang Village, Xue Baoqin followed Xue Baochai to live in Hengwuyuan, but Xing Xiuyan lived alone in Luxue'an.
The first poetry club in the Grand View Garden was held under such circumstances.
Different from the original book, in the second month after moving into the Grand View Garden, Tanchun posted an extremely elegant post with Jia Baoyu, with Jia Baoyu’s full support and Lin Daiyu’s poems at the beginning, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu They are the two favorites of Jia Mu's bright face, and the poetry club was naturally established smoothly.
But now?
Lin Daiyu went back to her father after the Double Ninth Festival in the year when her mother became filial, and then came to Jia's house after Lin Ruhai passed away.For so many years, Lin Daiyu also kowtowed to Jia Mu when she entered Jia's house for the second time, and never appeared in front of Jia Mu again. Counting the time, Jia Baoyu and Tanchun have not seen each other for six full years. I passed Lin Daiyu's face.
Xue Baochai has a serious temper, Yingchun is boring, Xichun is cold, Jia Baoyu doesn't touch poetry and books, and Shi Xiangyun, who loves to laugh and make trouble, hasn't come since Xue Baochai's birthday. Can afford a poetry club?
In addition to various things this year, first Jia Yue got married and prepared a dowry. The dowry changed from 9 to 15, then to more than [-], and finally to [-].Jia Yue's dowry deeply stimulated Tanchun, how could Tanchun have the mood to start a poetry club?Later, when Jia Lian became an official, he also took the post of Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry who led the dispatch, and stimulated Mrs. Jia Zhengwang. How could Tanchun dare to provoke Mrs. Jia Zhengwang to make him feel uncomfortable?
Now, there are so many beautiful girls in the Grand View Garden. Although their mouths are modest, they all have learned poetry. Jia Baoyu is so happy that Tanchun sent a very elegant post to his brother. Naturally, Just set up the poetry club.
Li Wan was very much in favor of this, and found three reasons to support Tanchun. However, Li Wan did not forget to remind Jia Baoyu to ask Jia's mother to bring Shi Xiangyun over.
And Xue Baochai couldn't find a way to curry favor with Mrs. Xing. Seeing that Tanchun had set up a poetry club, she immediately said: "Since we want to do this, we should invite Sister Xuan and Sister Han who are in front of the eldest lady." Sister Yue and Sister Wan are engaged, and the other is too old to come. But Sister Xuan and Sister Han are at the age of fun. Since we have established a poetry club, we should not put them dropped."
Jia Baoyu and others agreed again and again.
After discussing with each other, they came to find Jia Mu.
Mother Jia was also happy, but said that it was late today and she would pick up Shi Xiangyun tomorrow.
They sent someone to ask Mrs. Xing, but both Jia Xuan and Jia Han declined.One said that the second aunt's wedding ceremony was going to be held next month, and she had to entertain guests, practice etiquette, and try on clothes, so she didn't have time;
Jia Baoyu tormented Jia Mu for a long time, and Jia Mu then sent someone to ask Lin Daiyu. As a result, Jia Qi sent someone to tell Jia Mu Jia Baoyu that Lin Daiyu would not be filial piety until the twelfth lunar month, and Jia Baoyu asked Jia Baoyu to play by herself first.
Jia Baoyu was very depressed.If Shi Xiangyun hadn't come the next day, I'm afraid Jia Baoyu would continue to be depressed.
Shi Xiangyun loves to laugh and make trouble, and with her and Jia Baoyu around, he can leave a lot of laughter.She is also known for being talented, with her and Xue Baoqin, the poetry club is still lively.
However, it costs money to run a poetry club.
Tanchun is paid two taels of silver per month plus two taels of makeup money, a total of four taels a month.But Tanchun's expense is also high, to please the aunt, to make shoes for Jia Baoyu, and to do the ups and downs, even if she has to save a few shillings for Jia Baoyu to bring her some gadgets, it will take several months.
Shi Xiangyun was assigned by the historian, and the monthly income of the girls of the Shi family was not as good as that of the girls of the Jia family, and Shi Xiangyun was loose-handed, so naturally he had no money.
Li Wan is an iron rooster. She has never seen her saving money for her son, but never seen her taking money out of her pocket.
Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin are guests again, so it's not good that the First Poetry Club will let the guests pay.
In the end, it was Jia Baoyu who said he would come out.
But who would have thought that at this time, Xiren's mother was not well, and Xiren went home.After Xiren beat Jia Baoyu, he regarded Jia Baoyu as his own man and Jia Baoyu's money as his own money. , were taken back to her natal family by the attackers.
There are just a few hanging coins under the bed, which is not enough at all.
In the end, the first poetry club in the Grand View Garden could only make up members.
Li Wan was the first to say that since she is the president, the first poetry club will be run in her Xinghua Village (without Lin Daiyu's Daoxiang poems, Xinghua Village would not have been changed by Jia Yuanchun. Daoxiang Village), Li Wan used this method to save his two cousins' share.
Then, Xue Baochai, Xue Baoqin and Sanchun also gave out money, but the problem was that Shi Xiangyun and Xing Xiuyan had no money.
Xue Baochai proposed that she should come out for Shi Xiangyun and Xing Xiuyan's share.
Xue Baochai wanted to marry Jia Cong, so she would naturally try her best to please Mrs. Xing, and paying for Xing Xiuyan was just her way to indirectly please Mrs. Xing.
As for helping Shi Xiangyun with money, it was naturally to please Mother Jia.
Xue Baochai's calculation was very good, but she never expected that not long after she opened her mouth, she saw You Ruo who was beside Jia Qi coming over with two packages.
Jia Baoyu, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, and Yingchun Tanchun Xichun were all uncomfortable seeing You Ruo.
They remembered the little actor whose head was cut off by You Ruo with a sword.
Especially Shi Xiangyun, when she saw You Ruo, she seemed to be drenched with blood all over her face, and she shivered at that moment.If Li Wan hadn't supported her, she might have fallen.
You Ruo didn't seem to notice it, after she saluted all the young masters and girls, she said to Xing Xiuyan: "Biao girl, our fourth master said that if the girls and young men in the Grand View Garden get together, they will probably make a poem together." For fear that Biao girl will not be around, I asked my maid to send 20 taels of silver to Biao girl."
As he said, he took out a small package from his bosom and handed it to Xing Xiuyan's girl, Zhuan'er.
Pointing to the two parcels again, he said, "Inside here is a bird-gold fur coat and a duckweed fur coat. Inside this is an ermine jacket and a gorilla felt feather gauze cloak. This year, Miss Lin's family sent quite a few Clothing materials include bird gold, phoenix, phoenix feather, magnolia, and other patterns. Our wife, grandma, and all the girls have made a suit for each of them. These are the original Miss Lin's, but Miss Lin is still in the filial piety, so she can't wear this, so she specially made it out, first for the cousin girl, and after Miss Lin is out of filial piety, it's the same to do it again. Our master said, the ones in Beijing Winter is no better than in the south, if it freezes, it’s no joke.”
Then, he took out a small box with a square shape, inside were two or three pieces of jade pendants, several pairs of earrings and four shrimp whiskers, etc. Although they were all newly made, they were not complete sets. Let Xing Xiuyan play.
After handing over the things, You Ruo ignored Xing Xiuyan's persuasion and left.
Looking at these things in front of her, Xing Xiuyan was stunned, not knowing how to react.
She thought that her aunt didn't like her, but she didn't expect Jia Qi to ask someone to send this.All of a sudden, my heart was full of five flavors, and I couldn't tell what it was like.
Li Wen, Li Qi and Xue Baoqin are naturally curious about Jia Qi. It can be seen that Jia Baoyu, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, Tanchun Li Wan and the others saw You Ruo's reaction was not right. The fourth master became more and more curious.
I don't want to, later that day, Mother Jia actually took out a bird gold fur from her private room and gave it to Jia Baoyu, and gave Xue Baoqin another fur coat from her private room. The girls' reactions were even more strange. up.
What a powerful person Jia Mu is, her grandchildren's reactions are strange, even the reactions of these new guests are very strange, why don't you ask?
Hearing that Jia Qi sent You Ruo to give clothes to Xing Xiuyan, Jia's mother couldn't help but say: "This brother Qi! He pays attention to these things!" Then she said to the guests: "You don't know, that's my boss My youngest son, among so many children, his father loves him the most. If there is any good thing, he is the first to be close to him. He and my granddaughter were engaged early. His third brother has not yet engaged! Then he said to Xing Xiuyan: "He gives you something, you just accept it. Don't worry, he is a rich man just like his father."
Although Xing Xiuyan accepted the things, she was still puzzled.
In Xing Xiuyan's memory, the Xing family's family background has always been very poor. She lived in a temple when she was very young, and thanks to Miaoyu who brought her hair to practice in that temple, she was able to read and write.
Although the Xing family was in decline, when Xing Xiuyan was at home, she also heard from her parents. It is said that when her eldest aunt, Mrs. Xing, was at home, the Xing family's family background was quite good.Now, hearing Jia's mother say that Jia Qi is a rich man, Xing Xiuyan doesn't think that this younger cousin will have other sources of money.
Not only Xing Xiuyan, but even Xing Xiuyan's little girl, Zhuan'er, believed in the words "Mrs. Xing took away all the Xing family's belongings when she got married, so that the Xing family fell to where it is today".
Xing Xiuyan is not an idiot, she naturally knows what to say and what not to say, not only does she not say this herself, but she also restrains Zhuan'er, not allowing this little girl to talk too much.
Xing Xiuyan knew that it was Mrs. Xing's face that she could live in the Grand View Garden and receive the same monthly payment as the girls in the Grand View Garden, and her cousin even gave her clothes and accessories, so she couldn't repay her kindness.
