Jia Zhu, the White Magic God of the Red Chamber

Chapter 56

Compared with the false promises made at Wang's house the day before yesterday, the Xue family's visit at Zhensheng Gong's mansion was very pleasant.Jia Zheng's yamen was not at home for something, so it was Ya'erlin who received Xue Xun and Xue Pan.Regarding Xue Xun's tactful proposal to ask Xue Pan to be a teacher, Ya'erlin agreed immediately after testing Xue Pan's qualifications.

Although this fat boy is a bit stubborn, he can communicate with fire elements.In addition, his temperament is not bad, and he is still young at present. If he is strictly trained/taught, he may not be a pillar of the court, but there are many possibilities to become a master.

Ya'erlin also made it clear to Xue Xun. After thinking about it for a while, Xue Xun still decided to let Xue Pan apprentice.Although he gave Xue Pan the qualifications to take the imperial examination, Xue Pan did not have any talent in reading. Instead of continuing to persecute him like this, it is better to find another way for him.

It's fine if you can't become a pillar of the court, but it's not bad to be a general.If it fails, it is better to have a real Shenggong as a master and a brother of the clan disciples than to be a businessman.

What's more, Xue Pan is not a businessman.

The men here had a pleasant conversation in the outer study, and the women over there were also enjoying themselves happily in Mrs. Wang's Qinghui Courtyard.

Although Li Wan is the housekeeper's wife who is in charge of the middle feeding in the mansion, Mrs. Xue Wang is Mrs. Wang's younger sister, so the female family members will naturally go to Qinghui Courtyard.Because Jia Yuanchun was waiting to be married, he went back to his yard to embroider the dowry after he came out to meet the guests and received a gift from Mrs. Xue Wang.

As for Jia Tanchun, she is just a concubine and is not qualified to meet guests.Aunt Zhao hated this so much in the yard, but who made her think of a way to act like a baby with Jia Zheng and not want to bring Tanchun to Mrs. Wang to raise her.She only wanted to let Tanchun get close to her, but she forgot that she was just an aunt brought up by a servant, and the daughter raised by her, it would be difficult for her to talk about a good marriage in the future.

By the time Aunt Zhao got Aunt Zhou's reminder to know this, it was already too late, so what if she kept her own place and did not fight or grab.Jia Zhu is Mrs. Wang's eldest son, so how could she like Tanchun, the younger sister born to her aunt.What's more, the two brothers and sisters have no chance to get along at all, so where does the brother-sister relationship come from.

Aunt Zhao finally got a chance to tell Jia Zheng about this matter. Mrs. Wang said that she was raising Jia Baoyu now and didn't have the energy to raise the second girl, so she sent Jia Zheng away.In Jia Zheng's heart, Jia Tanchun, a concubine, cannot be compared with his legitimate son.

So Aunt Zhao has no other choice, she is worse than Mrs. Wang who can read a few words, at least the boudoir education Mrs. Wang received since she was a child is to teach her how to be a housewife and raise her daughter and son.What about her?Born as a servant, do you want Tanchun to be someone else's aunt in the future like her?

So no matter how much she hated, Aunt Zhao could only cry while hugging Jia Tanchun, who was wide-eyed and ignorant.Jia Tanchun said she was the second girl in the mansion, but she couldn't compare with the eldest girl.The eldest girl followed her elder brother's name on the family tree, but the second girl is now just calling for Tanchun Tanchun, and it is even more impossible to go to the family tree.

At this point, Aunt Zhao suddenly wondered if the aunt who tried so hard to become Jia Zheng did something wrong.The Zhao family is the son of the Rongguo Mansion family, and she grew up watching the prosperity and wealth of the Rongguo Mansion since she was a child.It's a pity that she only noticed these things in her eyes, ignoring those hidden below.

The concubine children of the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion have never had good results.At the beginning, Aunt Jia Min had three concubine sisters, but after a few years of marriage, there was no news of her!Thinking of her Tanchun, Aunt Zhao felt even more sad.

She doesn't think about anything now, she just hopes that Jia Zhu can marry Jia Tanchun to be a good lady for the sake of brother and sister.

After all, Aunt Zhao's knowledge was limited. If Jia Zhu and Jia Baoyu didn't even have a son, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang would still focus on their daughters, hoping that they would marry well and help their mother's family.But now the real Shenggong's mansion no longer needs icing on the cake. Jia Tanchun is Ya'erlin's younger sister. Even if her husband's family is not a prominent family, it is impossible for her to be someone else's concubine.

That would be the face of the real Shenggong Mansion!

The women in Qinghui Courtyard would not know about Aunt Zhao's complaint, and Mrs. Wang and Li Wan would not take it to heart even if they knew about it.Neither Aunt Zhao nor Aunt Zhou can afford to make trouble in this mansion, so there is no need to worry about it.

"Baochai looks really good." Mrs. Wang held Xue Baochai in her arms and couldn't put it down, "The day for my Ping'er to go out has been set, and after that, there will only be one Baoyu by my side, and it will be moved away in a few years. Outer courtyard. Good luck to you, sister, I am so envious to have such a well-behaved and beautiful daughter by my side."

"What is my sister talking about? If my Baochai can have the character of a big girl, then she will be enough in this life. Even if Baoyu moves to the outer courtyard, won't she still be close to her sister, just like Zhuer Same. I heard that no matter how busy Zhuer is with the outside world, she never misses this morning and evening peace."

Xue Wang is very proud that her sister likes her daughter, but she also knows that no matter how good her daughter is, she can't compare to the big girls in this mansion.One is the direct sister of Zhen Shenggong, and the other is a merchant girl from an ordinary merchant, there is no comparison at all.

"Baochai and Ping'er are cousins. They do look alike in some ways, but they are not as exaggerated as you said, sister." Mrs. Wang was very flattered by Mrs. Xue.Her current old lady's life is really indescribably happy. Compared with being a dignified old lord like Jia Wang's, it's more enjoyable to be an old lady like her.

Whether it's at home or outside, others have to give her face, and they have to try to curry favor with her. That alone is enough for her.There is a difference between the power in the hands of her son and the power in her hands.But more, she still hopes that her son and grandson will live a good life.

The prosperity of a family still depends on men, like the Rongguo Mansion used to rely on women for everything, what a big deal!After all, the range of women's activities is in the back house. Apart from having a particularly good vision, there are also a few who can really support the entire family.

"Sister's words are just to comfort me." Xue Wangshi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If Chai'er is reincarnated in sister's stomach, she will be no different from a big girl, and she will be reincarnated in my stomach..."

In the past, she didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and felt that her Xue family was an imperial merchant, and it was no worse than ordinary official families.Only when Xue Xun made it clear to her did she understand the real status of the Xue family.For Mrs. Wang, she is not without acid in her heart, but it is more important to befriend Mrs. Wang. Who will let Mrs. Wang have a good son.

It's not that Xue Wang didn't think about what would happen if she married Rongguo Mansion back then, but after all, she thought that she also had a son. Although she was not as promising as Jia Zhu, at least she was very filial to her mother.

The smile on Mrs. Wang's face stagnated, and then she said softly: "Children are debts. You don't know what kind of life I lived in the Rongguo Mansion before Zhu'er died. Sister, you don't know. Because of her kindness, she was almost sent to that shady place." She paused, raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, "Back then Pearl was so sick that she almost died. If Pearl I really went, sister, what do you think will happen?"

Previously, Li Wan just hugged Jia Lan and listened to the two wives talking, but when Mrs. Wang mentioned Jia Zhu, she couldn't help frowning.At that time, it was she, not Mrs. Wang, who was most desperate. Even Mrs. Wang's care for Jia Zhu for the housekeeper was far less than her.

But now that she has a son and is the head wife, that's enough.My grandfather is filial, and she doesn't want her relationship with her mother-in-law to affect the relationship between husband and wife.This real Shenggong mansion will belong to her children in the future, and she only needs to be a qualified real Shenggong wife.

His eyes darkened, Li Wan's eyelids drooped slightly and he continued to tease Jia Lan.Jalan is now at the age where he can start talking. Maybe it's because Yaerlin's spiritual communication with him is too successful, which makes him a lot better than his peers.Let Li Wan and Mrs. Wang love him very much.Even Jia Zheng, who was at home occasionally, had a rare kindness towards his eldest grandson.

Sitting beside Mrs. Wang, Jia Baoyu looked enviously at Jia Lan who was being hugged by Li Wan.He also wanted beautiful maids and mothers-in-law to serve him, but Mrs. Wang arranged for him to be nothing more than flat-headed and straight-faced.Thinking that in two years he will move to the outer courtyard when he is six years old, and there will only be a servant and a long entourage by his side, Jia Baoyu's face becomes bitter.

It's just that there are no elders who dote on him unconditionally at home. Knowing that the elders are unlikely to agree to his demands, he can only think in his heart.

"Isn't the eldest girl already engaged, and she still has to be married by the saint?" Xue Wang said hastily, "Zhu'er is a real saint who must be used by the saint, and my sister doesn't have to worry about these things anymore."

"That's right." Mrs. Wang stopped crying and nodded, "Since your family has moved to the capital, we usually walk around more often. By the way, can the house be repaired when we return to the capital this time? Now we are the only masters in this mansion, and there are quite a few empty yards."

"That's not necessary. Before I went to Beijing, the master sent me to Beijing to tidy up the house in advance. They were all repaired according to the scenery on the other side of Jinling. Someday I will send a post to my sister, please come and sit down." King Xue Said with a smile.

"I must go back." Mrs. Wang held Xue Baochai in her arms tightly, "but Bao girl, I really love her, let her live in the mansion for a few days, if she can stay by my side for a long time, then It's better. I'm just afraid that you, a mother, don't want to."

The younger ones couldn't understand the meaning of Mrs. Wang's words, but both Li Wan and Mrs. Xue Wang understood the hints in her words.Mrs. Wang is trying to tell Xue Baochai to Jia Baoyu?

Li Wan frowned slightly, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt that this was not bad.Although this uncle is still young at present, he knows at a glance that there is nothing he can do on the road to the imperial examination.It's not that he is not good at reading, but that his temperament is not suitable for an official.The younger brother-in-law is good at following the path of being a romantic and talented scholar. If he has a younger sibling who is good at housekeeping, he probably doesn't need to bother his elder brother too much.

Mrs. Wang's thoughts are similar to hers.Her youngest son was spoiled by Jia Shishi, and it will be difficult for him to get ahead in the future, so she can only find a way to make him a rich man.With Jia Zhu around, there is no need to worry about someone thinking ill of him, but if you want to be rich, you still need a wife who is good at managing the family business.

Before Jia Baoyu was young, Mrs. Wang hadn't thought about his marriage, but now that she saw Xue Baochai, she fell in love with her very much.Thinking about it again, she is a daughter of the Xue family. Although her family background is not as good as those of the rich officials, she is not just a good match for Jia Baoyu!

The background of the merchant girl made it impossible for her to overwhelm Jia Baoyu.

The more she thought about it, the more satisfied Madam Wang looked at the little girl in her arms.
