Jia Zhu, the White Magic God of the Red Chamber

Chapter 55

Wang Ziteng entertained Xue Xun's family in a considerate manner, but the arrogance and complacency in his bones could not hide from Xue Xun who traveled all over the world.He secretly laughed at this in his heart, but luckily he got on the line of Zhensheng Gong's Mansion, otherwise the line of their Xue family would really be cut off in his hands.

Although Xue Wang didn't know much about these things, she was also very sensitive to her sister-in-law's attitude.At the beginning, this sister-in-law didn't deal with her or Mrs. Wang who married into Rongguo Mansion, but now she is so enthusiastic, especially she praises and praises Xue Baochai. Could it be that she has some ideas?

Thinking of some things her master told her in private, she smiled sincerely on the surface, but the vigilance in her heart never stopped.

Xue's family is nothing but a wealthy businessman now, and the only thing that can make her mother's family worry about is the family's money.The master of money and wealth said that they were all reserved for Pan'er and Chai'er.Pan'er will take the imperial examination in the future, and the family business can no longer be as big as it was before.There is also Chai'er, the master said that in the future, he will choose a Jinshi from a poor family to marry her, so it is natural to prepare a dowry for her.

In the past, her natal family was the foundation for her to gain a foothold in Xue's family, but now the master has told her everything. From now on, there will only be her in the backyard of Xue's family. Everything in Xue's family belongs to her two children.In this case, why did she bother to think about her family like this.

When the master was seriously ill, she not only asked Mrs. Wang for help, but also wrote a letter of help to Wang Ziteng. What happened?The housekeeper of the Wang family went south to Jinling, but he was preparing to attend Xue Xun's funeral, thinking of supporting their mother, son, mother and daughter, and not letting the rest of the Xue family bully their orphans and widows!

Wang Ziteng's arrangement really chilled Xue Wang's heart.She didn't know that although Xue Xun's life was not ordered by the saint, it was hinted by the saint.Except for Ya'erlin who dared to rescue Xue Xun, the others really didn't dare to confront the saint.

After dinner, the four members of Xue's family went out the side door of Wang's house and got into the carriage. They all looked at each other and sighed.During this period of time, because of Xue Xun's attention and great efforts to cultivate him, Xue Pan finally no longer looks like the domineering king he used to be.Although it still can't be compared with Xue Baochai, who is beautiful, but compared to before, it can be said that it is a world of difference.

In fact, Xue Pan's nature is not bad. Apart from Xue Wang's doting and indulgence, Xue Xun was always at home with Xue Baochai, but he was indifferent to him, the eldest son. .He thought that if he continued to do those things according to the boy's advice, he would attract Xue Xun's idea.

Little did they know, the more he was like that, the more Xue Xun disliked him.

Now the servants and maids around Xue Pan have been replaced by Xue Wang, and the same is true around Xue Baochai, and even the ones around her have been replaced.Those young servants who urged Xue Pan not to learn well were specially selected by Xue Wang from her spouse's family, but it turned out to be like this.

Look at the servants who followed her from the Wang family. Because she was in charge of the Xue family's feed, she not only gained a firm foothold in the Xue family, but also occupied an important position.Fortunately, none of the foreign affairs such as the shop and Zhuangzi are in charge of the Xue Wang family, or else the Xue family would have become a surnamed king long ago.

Knowing that her son was so stubborn that he couldn't do without the instigation and instigation of those around him, Xue Wang was heartbroken and dealt with all these servants.After all, Xue Xun was in charge of the Jiangnan General Administration Department. Not only did he handle these people properly without letting any rumors spread, but he also got them a contact channel with the Wang family, so that the Wang family didn't find any clues.

It's not that she doesn't hate the Wang family Xue Xun and Xue Wang's, but now they don't have the strength to tear themselves apart from the Wang family, so they can only continue to pretend to be false.

"Master, today's sister-in-law is very enthusiastic about Chai'er, is there something in it?" On the carriage, Xue Wang asked Xue Xun the doubts she had hidden in her heart.

"What can there be? It's not because the eldest girl in the real Shenggong's mansion was given a marriage by a saint, and the wishful thinking of the brother-in-law and the old lady of the Jia family failed." Xue Xun said in a mocking tone.

"Ah?" Because of the correspondence with Mrs. Wang, she knew something about Jia Shishi's plan to send Jia Yuanchun to participate in the female officer election, "Isn't there a daughter of the right age in my brother's family? Still young."

Xue Baochai is only five years old now, and even if he wants to enter the palace, he still has to wait ten years. The Wang family wouldn't start planning so early, right?

"That's my daughter, and my daughter hurts herself." Xue Xun sneered, "We who know a little bit about the place in the palace know a lot, so we wouldn't be willing to send our beloved daughter there."

At the beginning, he had no choice but to have such a plan. Xue Pan's temperament is gone, and the future of the Xue family is worrying just by relying on the words of the Wang family and the Jia family.If Baochai managed to find a way in the palace, maybe the Xue family could still recover.

But since he took his life back, he no longer had such thoughts.Although the palace is rich and noble, the life inside is not as glamorous as people outside look, and he is reluctant to let his daughter go into that kind of place.

"Then..." Hearing what Xue Xun said, Xue Wang was a little bit confused.

"Nothing." Xue Xun patted the back of her hand reassuringly before Xue Xun said with a smile, "We are going to visit the Zhenshenggong Mansion tomorrow, if all goes well, we may be able to get in touch with the Zhenshenggong Mansion. In the past few years, let's pay attention to it first, and if there is a suitable one, we will first decide on Chai'er's marriage, and when the brother-in-law brings up this matter, we can also have an excuse to push it over."

This is because Xue Xun and Xue Wang did not hide Xue Pan and Xue Baochai. Although they are still young, the situation of the Xue family is already like this, and they should learn to grow up.Of course, parents want to protect their children and give them a carefree childhood, but when it comes to the Xue family, protecting them is not cherishing them, but harming them.

Learning to grow up is painful, it is better than encountering bad pain later.

Sending off the Xue family, Wang Ziteng stroked his long beard and looked at his wife with a smile on his face: "I saw Baochai's child today, what do you think?"

Mrs. Wang Ziteng's Mrs. Shi Shi smiled and nodded: "It's really good. It's a bit more colorful than Yuan Chun's childhood in my aunt's family." She comes from a Jinling historian. No, she can't be the girl married by the historian and the second son of the Wang family.

"It's natural. If it wasn't for my little sister's good looks, the old lady wouldn't have hugged her to her body and remembered her as her daughter-in-law." Wang Ziteng laughed, "Only my elder brother and I know about this. Madam must not speak out."

Wang Shishi raised her eyebrows in surprise, this was the first time she had heard of this.In the past, it was said that there were two daughters from the ruling county uncle's mansion, but it turned out that the one who married into Xue's family was a registered daughter!It was only then that Wang Shishi suddenly realized why the two daughters of the Wang family were discussing marriage, why one was married to the Rongguo Mansion, and the other was engaged to the Xue family.

Although the Xue family is listed among the four major families in Jinling, it is nothing more than a Ziwei family granted by the ancestors.In Xue Xun's generation, the Secretary of General Administration in private cannot be put on the table. Wang Shishi can't know it, so Xue's family is nothing more than an imperial merchant.

They are all daughters born on the same day, one married into a noble family, and the other married into an imperial merchant's family.Wang Shishi couldn't figure it out before, but now he knows what's going on.The Wang family gave up a registered prostitute daughter in exchange for a large amount of property from the Xue family, and now they want to send the girl from the Xue family to the palace to be rich.

Although Wang Shishi had some thoughts in his heart, it was better for the daughter of the Xue family to enter the palace than to let his own daughter enter the palace.

As for Xue's family's thoughts, it is enough to think highly of them that they can give their girls a fortune, so there is no room for them to pick and choose.

Wang Shishi thinks so, and Wang Ziteng's side thinks even more.Jia Shishi had already told him about sending Jia Yuanchun into the palace, and he took it to heart.At that time, the old sage was still in power, and Zhen Guifei, who was born in the Zhen family, could be said to be favored by three thousand people in the harem.

Even though the Zhen family and the four major families of Jinling are old relatives, the noble concubines and princes of the Zhen family naturally have more consideration for the Zhen family, so the four major families have long thought of sending a girl of their own into the palace.The most outstanding girl in the previous generation of the four major families was Jia Min, but Jia Daishan clearly saw how much she loved the young girl, and finally betrothed her daughter to Lin Ruhai, a new researcher.

In this generation, Wang Ziteng's daughter is naturally the best in terms of background.Only his daughter is younger, and he only has such a daughter, so he is reluctant to send it to the palace.Wang Xifeng, the daughter of Wang's big family, Wang Zisheng's family, was engaged to Jia Lian early in the morning. The historian Xue's family didn't have a dead daughter, so Jia Yuanchun was the most suitable one.

But this is obviously a good thing, but Jia Zhu and Mrs. Wang don't agree!

Compared with the help from the harem, Wang Ziteng still values ​​Jia Zhu, the nephew of Guibang High School, more.So after knowing that they didn't want it, he didn't do anything, but just came to talk to Jia Shishi.After all, he spent a lot of effort to open up the joints before, so he was not willing to give up just like that.

What happened later was completely different from what Wang Ziteng had imagined.Jia Zhu jumped up so fast that he was caught off guard. By the time he realized it, the Zhenshenggong Mansion had already established a firm foothold in the capital.Jia Zhu has such a good relationship with the two saints, but because of his obscure position at the beginning, he is not liked by the current saint Chengzheng.

At this time, it is impossible for Jia Yuanchun to become a pawn of the four major families in the palace.Fortunately, Emperor Chengzheng was not very old, and ten years later he would not be able to know his destiny, so they could afford to wait.What's more, the four major families did a lot of things in the past by following the loyal prince, but now Emperor Chengzheng didn't pay attention to them because of Jia Zhu.

But this is always a thorn buried in the bottom of my heart.

No matter how face Jia Zhu has, it is also the face of the Jia family.He is not the Wang family, between the interests of the Jia family and the Wang family, he will definitely choose the Jia family.

In Wang Ziteng's heart, women are nothing at all.After entering the harem, he couldn't get rid of his palm.After all, in terms of contacts in the harem, only his royal family has the most.Back then, the Wang family was in charge of paying tribute to the foreign courts, and they had a lot of dealings with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

It's just that no matter how well Wang Ziteng thought, he didn't expect that the Xue family didn't take him seriously for a while, and they didn't even have the slightest interest in wanting to join forces with him.
