Xue Baochai, the belly of the Red Chamber

Sitting on the carriage going home, Aunt Xue hesitated for a while and said, "Chaier, I have an accident here and I want to discuss it with you?"

"Mother, please tell me." Xue Baochai looked at Aunt Xue nonchalantly after hearing what Aunt Xue said.I saw her expression was very tangled, as if she didn't know what to do?He smiled and said.

Looking at Xue Baochai's smiling face, Aunt Xue felt a little hesitant in her heart, but thinking of what You said just now, her heart became firmer: "Chai'er, I know you have always been very thoughtful." People, before, both your father and I have already promised you. They said that you will make up your own mind about your future marriage. Now my son is about to grow up in a blink of an eye, reaching the age of marriage. "

When Xue Baochai heard Aunt Xue's words, she was taken aback for a moment. She thought that Aunt Xue had something to tell her, which should be related to Mrs. Wang's borrowing of money, but she might as well talk about her own marriage: "Mother Dear, why did you mention this matter for no reason?" Although many thoughts flashed in his mind, Xue Baochai showed a proper shy look on his face.

When Aunt Xue saw Xue Baochai, who was blushing all over, she couldn't help flashing a funny smile on her face: "Look at you, you are usually very courageous, but now when you talk about your marriage, you are acting like a little girl. "

"Mother..." Xue Baochai said with some reluctance.

Aunt Xue patted Xue Baochai's hand with a smile, and said, "Okay, I'm not joking with you here." Her tone paused: "Mother told you serious things. It was just this time, your aunt talked about it again. You and Baoyu's marriage. I've thought about it for a while and think it's feasible."

"Mother, you know my standards. In the future, the son-in-law should not only be able to rule the country, but at the very least must be superior. No matter how you look at it, Cousin Jia is not good. Besides, Cousin Jia is just a cousin to me. There is no other meaning. If anything, Cousin Jia already has a childhood sweetheart like Miss Lin by his side." These words are very gentle because they are concerned about the relationship between Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue as sisters.

If she really wanted to talk about it, Jia Baoyu was simply a worthless playboy in her eyes.In terms of background, he is said to be the grandson of the Rongguo Mansion, but speaking of his status, he is not only inferior to Jia Lian, the eldest house, but also inferior to Jia Lan in their second house.If it weren't for Jia Mu's special doting, Yan would have his status in Rongguo Mansion.Besides, it is said that he was born with a legendary story of being born with a jade title, but if it wasn't for the fact that when he was one year old, Zhuo Zhou grabbed a box of rouge, gouache and hairpin rings, etc., which would be nothing for a man. words of things.Later, in the process of growing up, he obviously showed no signs of being able to become a talent in the future.

Jia Baoyu seemed to be able to live until now, and he was afraid that he would have been dealt with by the royal family long ago.

As for talent, it's even more out of the question.Although it is true that Jia Baoyu is smart, but what is the use of being smart if he has not used his thoughts on the right path.Because of his vision when he was born, I am afraid that his cleverness can only be buried, and he can only be a wealthy idler for the rest of his life.

If that's the only way, that's fine.However, his character is not only indecisive but also very affectionate.Since he was a child, he liked to hang out in the rouge pile. When he grew up, his hobby was helping his sisters make rouge powder, and he also liked to eat the rouge on the maid's mouth.

More importantly, there is a cousin who grew up with her childhood sweetheart by her side.

She wished she could stay as far away from such a person as she could.

Now that she actually wants to make them a pair, she can only hehe.

Aunt Xue smiled indifferently: "What my son said is all right. This child Baoyu has always been smart, but now he is just too young to be playful. After two years, he will be sensible." That's fine. Is there any boy in this world who is not naughty. As for the girl you mentioned, you don't have to worry about it. As the saying goes, the one who runs is a concubine, and the one who hires is a wife. Without your aunt's approval, she and Baoyu's marriage is impossible. What's more, no matter in terms of appearance or character, my son is more than a hundred times better than that sick and crooked Miss Lin. My son can rest assured. Besides..."

"Mother, it's not the problem. It's just that I don't like Cousin Jia at all. Don't worry if you say something angrily, Cousin Jia has never been in my eyes. You shouldn't be busy here." Xue Baochai looked at Aunt Xue's appearance of wanting Jia Baoyu to be a good son-in-law, so she couldn't help interrupting Aunt Xue's words and said.

Aunt Xue said anxiously: "Chai'er, I'm doing it for you. I know you don't like Baoyu. But considering our family background, he is already the best choice. He was born in the Marquis Mansion and is a direct descendant. , good-natured, gentle and polite, and you are cousins ​​and brothers, and have a relationship basis. What's more rare is that your aunt likes you very much. You don't have to worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law when you marry in the future. You also know that when your grandmother Just look down on me everywhere, feel that I am not worthy of your father, and find my fault in everything. It made me suffer a lot." Thinking of the difficulties she suffered in her early years, Aunt Xue's tone became more and more anxious Get up: "Chai'er, just trust your mother, you are the meat that fell from your mother..."

"Okay. Mother, don't say it. I won't agree." Xue Baochai listened to Aunt Xue's tiresome words, and unconsciously impatient.

When Aunt Xue heard Xue Baochai's words obviously cooling down, she froze for a moment, her complexion also turned pale, and her lips trembled.But for a long time, he didn't say a word.The hand that was holding Xue Baochai also loosened.The atmosphere in the carriage was silent for a while, followed by embarrassment.

Xue Baochai's eyes suddenly turned cold when he noticed this situation.

Aunt Xue, who lost her husband because of her youth, although she is said to be the one who spoils her children the most.But among her two children, Xue Pan's son is her favorite.This is quite understandable, Xue Pan is not only the eldest son of the family, but also her first child, helping her gain a firm foothold in the Xue family is also her lifelong reliance.Although her daughter is good, to her, it is just icing on the cake.Although it is said to be doting, it is far more important than the son in her heart.

If that's the case, Xue Baochai doesn't have to feel aggrieved, because she has lived two lifetimes, and the world is like this.

But she didn't expect that Aunt Xue would actually have her own marriage idea here.

Aunt Xue hoped that Xue Baochai would marry Jia Baoyu for two reasons.

One is that Aunt Xue really thinks Jia Baoyu is a good candidate.He comes from an outstanding family background, has a gentle temperament, and is loved by his parents.What's more, there is no real brother at the top, and the family business in the future may fall into his hands.Although Xue Baochai has nothing to say about his appearance, character, or virtue.But her background is low, just a business woman.

As for the second point, it is Aunt Xue's selfishness.That is the four major families, who have always been married to each other and helped each other.If it is said that Xue Baochai can be with Jia Baoyu here.Then it is definitely beneficial and harmless to Xue Pan's future.After all, although the Rongguo Mansion has already gone downhill, after all, his background as a general is still useful.

Of course, among these two points.The former accounted for seven points, and the latter only a shallow three points.

It was precisely because Xue Baochai knew the reason behind that that he became a little cold-hearted.Aunt Xue has no opinion on her preference for her son. After all, the world is like this, and she only blames herself for being a daughter.But she can give in to other things, but she never thought that Aunt Xue, who has always loved her, has learned to use her marriage.

If it is said that from the very beginning, Aunt Xue's attitude towards herself was not that good.At this time, she might not be so uncomfortable.

Because of this somewhat unpleasant topic, Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue came home without saying anything since then.

If it is said that Xue Baochai was able to control her temper well when Aunt Xue was there, but when she was in her warm air dock, she couldn't help being angry when she thought of what Aunt Xue said just now .Enduring and enduring, in the end I couldn't hold back, and swiped down the whole set of Ru Kiln's koi playing tea set on the table.

The sound of 'jingle ding dong dong' porcelain shattering made Xue Baochai's anger drop a lot.

"Yun Juan, hurry up and have someone clean up this place." Xue Baochai's tone was unprecedentedly cold.

Yun Juan immediately responded in a low voice, and went about it without mentioning it.

"Let Danxin go and find out who chewed these tongues in front of my mother. If it is someone from the mansion, find a crime for me and beat me to death with a stick. If it is someone from outside the mansion, don't Blame me for being cruel." In fact, Xue Baochai already had a definite choice for who was talking about this matter in front of Aunt Xue.There are only a few places where Aunt Xue can go, and there are only a few places to go back and forth.

If it is said that before Xue Baochai, he still felt a little guilty about Emperor Zhengde letting him install people in Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion, ready to attack the four kings and eight princes at any time.She thought that she would try her best to save them when something happened, but now she felt that it was unnecessary.

Seeing Xue Baochai's gloomy expression, Yun Shu's heart trembled.How long has my girl not shown such an expression.Probably since reaching a consensus on cooperation with Prince Yu three years ago, there has been no more.

It seems that the fate of Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion in the future may not be any better.

Rongguofu

After taking a lunch break, Mrs. Wang would habitually go to the Small Buddha Hall to recite the Diamond Sutra for half an hour.On this day, even though he came back from Ningguo Mansion, it was already a bit late.However, Mrs. Wang did not change this habit.

"How long has Madam been in?" Zhou Rui's family, as Mrs. Wang's confidant, naturally knew about Mrs. Wang's habit. Seeing that Mrs. Wang was not in the main room, she went directly to the small Buddhist hall.asked in a low voice.

Jin Chuan smiled and replied, "Sister Zhou, just wait here for half a cup of tea."

Zhou Rui's family nodded, and when they were about to say something?Then I heard Mrs. Wang's voice: "Who is talking outside?"

"Madam, it's me." Zhou Rui's family hurriedly replied.

Then Mrs. Wang said again, "Come in and talk."

When Zhou Rui's family heard Mrs. Wang's words, they were stunned for a moment, and then they picked up the curtain and went in.

"What happened to what you were asked to do?" Mrs. Wang didn't stop asking as she tapped Muyu's hand.

Zhou Rui's family replied with a smile: "I have already told Grandma Zhen according to my wife's wishes. Grandma Zhen was very happy. She also praised that our Second Master Bao is such an outstanding young talent and Miss Xue is a match made in heaven. Yes. She will do her best for such a good thing."

"That's good." Mrs. Wang agreed with satisfaction, and the smile on the corner of her mouth curled up quite a bit.

Zhou Rui's family has been serving Mrs. Wang since she was a girl. Although she can't see Mrs. Wang's expression, she knows that she is happy at the moment, and then she complimented and said with confusion: "Madam, actually If you want me to say, our second master Bao is there. If you tell the concubine directly, the concubine has no reason not to agree. Why bother to do these things again? "

When Mrs. Wang heard what Zhou Rui's family said, she only looked back, but she didn't speak.

Of course she has her reasons for doing so.She didn't like Zhu'er's daughter-in-law Li Wan very much before, but because Jia's mother and housekeeping were very willing, although she said she was Zhu'er's mother, she couldn't play much of a role in this matter.Naturally, Zhu'er married a funeral star to enter the door.It was only two years before Pearl, who had killed her.

Now she is still thinking about rationing her daughter's sick granddaughter who doesn't know how long she will live to her Baoyu.It was like a dream.

Baochai is the only daughter-in-law she is optimistic about.

Not only is she good-looking, good-natured, and well-known, the most important thing is that although her family background is not very outstanding, it will be easier for her to handle it here in the future.Although she also wanted Baoyu to marry a high-ranking girl, if that was the case, as a mother-in-law, she would have to watch her face when the time came to speak and do things.Although Baochai's identity is not enough, his family has a fortune of millions.In the future, there will definitely be a thick dowry, unlike Zhu'er's daughter-in-law, who only entered the door with only 48 dowry sets, and most of them are worthless things like calligraphy and painting.What's more, Brother Pan is now a member of the Imperial Guard, and with the help of his second brother, his future prospects will not be bad.

Like Baochai, whose status is not high now, her temperament can be easily controlled by her, and she has a promising brother, such a person is the candidate for her daughter-in-law.

As for the others.

Whether it's the sickly Lin Daiyu or the careless and thoughtless Shi Xiangyun, they are simply not enough to match her Baoyu.
