The oil bottle of the Red Chamber

The third sister You used her sharp tongue to successfully dispel the family's plan to clear her out of the warehouse, and earned herself a few years of quiet time.But they don't know that she is afraid of getting married here, but there are people who are eager to find someone with all four corners to entrust them for life, and to get out of the current embarrassing situation as soon as possible.

That is Jia Yuanchun, the eldest daughter of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Yuanchun was honored as an aristocratic daughter, but was sent by his family to the palace as a female official to serve others. After so many years of torture, he thought that with his appearance and talent, he would surely be able to win the eyes of the nobles and achieve a great fortune. However, because the Rongning and Ningfu government offended the new emperor, they were pardoned and expelled from the palace after the new emperor ascended the throne, allowing her to marry each other.

If this kind of thing is placed in ordinary people, I am afraid that they will be so happy that they will not give the saint an immediate longevity tablet.However, it was placed on the Rongguo Mansion, but many years of planning failed, not only did not make great fortune and blessings to the family, but also made the Rongning and Ningfu mansions become the laughing stock of Chang'an City.It even affected Jia Yuanchun's marriage relationship - the Jia family had frequent contact with the honorable families in Chang'an City. A figure who made great contributions to the founding of the country.As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, such an old family with a long history, naturally there are many relatives with the nobles in the palace.

Since this is the case, even if it is for the sake of face, no one is willing to marry a female history who has served concubines in the palace as the big wife of the clan.If not, when he enters the palace to congratulate each year, if someone has bad intentions and says on the spot, "Yuanchun served well at the beginning", whoever can live with face.

Therefore, even though Yuan Chun was handsome, talented, good-natured, good-natured, and well-off family background, when Jia's mother proposed a marriage for her, the family who thought she was of the right family still declined politely.Jia's mother and Jia Zheng and his wife looked down on the rest of those who wanted to cling to the power of the Jia family.After going back and forth, it has been almost two years since Yuan Chun came out of the palace, and the marriage is still not in sight.It can be seen that the world is hot and cold, and the people of Rongning and Ningfu have also tasted it.

Because this incident was caused by the Rongning and Ningfu's anger against the saint.The reason why Rongning and Ning's two houses offended the saint was only because the Ning's mansion forced the daughter of the Qin family to marry the daughter-in-law in order to cling to the saint, and Wang Ziteng and Jia Zheng joined forces to help Xue's family smooth out the past.

At the beginning, Jia Zhen wanted to marry Qin Keqing as her daughter-in-law to curry favor with the nobleman, and Jia's mother agreed to this matter.In the end, although the saint was upset, blood is thicker than water. Although the saint doesn't like to deal with the Ningguo Mansion, he is not embarrassed.In addition, although Qin Keqing's origin is unknown, his appearance, temperament, speech and behavior are all good, and everyone in the two houses praised him for his kindness.

However, Xue Pan's incident caused Wang Ziteng and Jia Zheng to be demoted and reprimanded, and it also made the sage seriously loathe the Wang family and the Jia family.Mother Jia was naturally displeased that outsiders had involved her son and granddaughter.Coupled with the fact that Lin Ruhai broke the "marriage of wood and stone" because of the "good fate of gold and jade", Jia's mother disliked everyone in the Xue family even more.

What's more, when the sage learned about Xue Pan and ordered the Ministry of Punishment to investigate strictly, the Ministry of Household Affairs was afraid that it would be involved, so it immediately deprived the Xue family of the royal business name on the grounds that the Xue family had misbehaved and pretended to be inferior.

The Xue family is known as a millionaire, but since the death of Xue Pan's father, the general managers of the provincial sales bureaus bullied the Xue family's mother and son, who are ignorant of world affairs, and had already developed bad intentions and started abducting them at the right time, causing the Xue family's business to plummet.Now, in order to appease Wang Ziteng and Jia Zheng's anger at being demoted and reprimanded, they naturally have to do something about it.After going back and forth, less than half of the million dollars has already been consumed...

Not only did he lose his name as an imperial merchant, he also lost all the money in his hand, and because of his nephew's old affairs, the future of the master and Yuan Chun was implicated. Madam also felt silent.

She didn't like Lin Daiyu because of Jia Min, so she objected to the old lady's idea of ​​"the two Yu'er getting close".It was even when Lin Daiyu entered the mansion that she said so many things and did so many things.She didn't regret it at first, but she didn't expect that Lin Ruhai had been studying salt in Jiangnan for so many years, and seeing that she was dying, she finally fawned on the Chen family's network and entered Beijing to join the cabinet.

Now Lin Daiyu has suddenly turned into the daughter of a first-rank university scholar. Because of her good family background, her appearance, talent and learning are first-class, those who want to be promoted in Beijing are flocking to her.However, Xue's family, which he was optimistic about, was showing signs of decline day by day.Mrs. Wang also became suspicious because she thought about the recent rumors in the mansion that "Bao girl's character is too hard, she can't control her father".

Rumors were rampant in the Rong Mansion, and the mother and daughter of the Xue family would naturally not be ignorant.When they first entered Jia's mansion, because of their good relationship with Mrs. Wang and their good management of everything, everyone in the whole family praised Baochai for "open-minded behavior and dignified appearance", and said that Daiyu was "aloof and self-proclaimed, with no dust in her eyes." ".At that time, the mother and daughter of the Xue family knew that the servants of the Jia family were very eloquent, but they didn't expect that after only a few days, the family also understood it firsthand.

As the daughter of a merchant, Xue Baochai was loved by her father since she was a child, who taught her to read and write, and thought she was "ten times a hundred times stronger" than her grandmother.Xue Baochai also read a lot of books since she was a child, and although she is tactful in dealing with people, she keeps saying that "you should be safe at any time, and needlework is the most important thing".But there is a bit of arrogance in his temperament, even in the family of officials in the government, he is strong in every way, and never refuses to be praised or criticized.

At this moment, she heard that people in Rongfu's family gossip, how could she bear it.Staying behind closed doors all day, depressed.If it was on weekdays, Mrs. Wang would have sent Zhou Rui's family to visit, but no one paid any attention at this moment.

Seeing this, Aunt Xue felt sorry for her daughter, but considering that Xue's family lost the title of imperial merchant and their business plummeted, even if they had other plans now, they couldn't find a better husband than Baoyu.In addition, the theory of a golden and jade marriage has already spread throughout Chang'an.It would be fine if Xue Baochai could marry into the Rongguo Mansion as he wished, but if he couldn't, wouldn't even Baochai's boudoir reputation be damaged?

Aunt Xue could only pretend to be ignorant of the rumors about Jia's mansion, and still brought her two children to live in Rongguo's mansion.Only when I visit Mrs. Wang every day, I often mention "gold and jade".

Although Mrs. Wang has a grudge because of the gossip in the mansion.But she was the first to bring up the theory of Jin Yuzhi, and she was also the first to mention the fact that the Xue family's mother and daughter went to Beijing to live in Rongguo Mansion.Now even if there is intention to repent, due to the friendship between the two sisters, it is not too hasty.We have to think long-term.Therefore, Mrs. Wang blindly used Jia Mu's attitude to prevaricate Aunt Xue.Mother Jia's attitude of not liking the Xue family was obvious. Seeing this, Aunt Xue felt uneasy, but there was nothing she could do.We can only hope that Jia Mu will take a step back and accept the golden and jade marriage when the marriage between wood and stone has long been empty.

However, the Xue family's mother and daughter did not expect that not long after Lin Ruhai picked up Daiyu, Jia's mother brought Shi Xiangyun from the Baoning Hou Mansion on the grounds that her knees were desolate and there were too few granddaughters to be lively enough.

Shi Xiangyun is the grand-nephew daughter of Jia's mother's family. Because her parents died early, she was brought up by her uncle and aunt since she was a child.Tong Baoyu is also a childhood sweetheart.And because of his straightforward nature and quick speech, he is very popular with Jia's mother.Mother Jia took pity on her when she was young, and often took her to her side.Therefore, Shi Xiangyun is very familiar with Rong Mansion.

Speaking of which, because of Shi Xiangyun's good temper, Xue Baochai and her are also very congenial.The two have always been referred to as sisters, and they are closer than biological sisters.Xue Baochai often praised Baochai in front of the world, wishing that she really had such a sister.

The cuteness of his words is indeed much better than that of Lin Daiyu, who is used to being jealous and petty.

However, no matter how good a sister is, if she is involved in the matter of two women competing for a husband, it will always be embarrassing.Jia's mother actually picked up Shi Xiangyun at this stall, and Xue's mother and daughter thought about it, feeling a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

Fortunately, after Shi Xiangyun left the house, he still talked and laughed every day, loved to play and make trouble, and treated people the same as before.Only then did Xue's mother and daughter feel relieved gradually.

Now it is said that Shi Xiangyun came to Jia's house. After talking and laughing with his sisters for a while, because he had not seen Baoyu, he had to ask, "Why is brother Ai missing?"

Jia Mu laughed and said, "I heard that one of his friends returned to Beijing with the Yuehai Navy who was returning to the court with his class teacher. They discussed how to clean up that friend. They left early and returned late for several days in a row. If you wait a little longer, he should come back."

When speaking, everyone couldn't help mentioning the young general Liu Xianglian who had made great achievements in Guangdong and Hai.Speaking of this person, he was originally a child of an aristocratic family. Both of his parents died when he was young, and he didn't like reading.Everyone originally thought that he was just dawdling like this, and that he would be of no use when he grows up.But I didn't expect this person to go to Guangdong Hai to join the army on a whim a few years ago, and made such a great contribution.Now he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he has accumulated military merits to become a great general.At the celebration banquet, he won the favor of a saint again, which shows that he has a promising future.

It is said that there are many honorable and noble families in Chang'an City who are pursuing Liu Xianglian's idea.After all, although Liu Xianglian is not as rich as the veterans of the officials and honored families, she is handsome, and because of her military merits, she has been promoted and has military power in her hands.Besides, he was born in the Guangdong Navy, he is resourceful and decisive, and he is quite familiar with naval warfare.

Now the sage is planning to cut down the domain.The king of Beijing was young and smart, he knew that he was weak, and he had already seen the holy will to hand over his military power. Although the king of Dongping County and Xining County had not yet handed over his military power, he had been guarding outside more and more low-key in the past few years, quietly, For the time being, I can't pierce the saint's eyes.Only the king of Nan'an County, who guards the coast of the West Sea, has been operating in the West Sea area for many years, but the bandits in the West Sea have been repeatedly banned.The female family members of the Nan'an Palace are even more active in Beijing... Although no one dares to speak out in the court, everyone knows that if the saint really wants to cut down the feudal clan, he will definitely use the Nan'an Prince as a knife.

In this way, these people who returned from Guangdong Sea must have a chance to take power.However, Wei Jun, the Governor of Guangdong Sea, holds the military power to guard the West Sea and cannot easily move.The only one left is Liu Xianglian who has made great contributions in this battle and has shown impressive skills.

At this moment, Liu Xianglian, who was considered a good son-in-law by the Jingzhong family, was also having a headache.
