When it comes to making money, of course Mrs. Wang has connections. The Xue family is a big family. When she invited the Xue family to live in Jia's house, Mrs. Wang's purpose was to use Xue Baochai to fight against Lin Daiyu.
As Lin Daiyu returned to the Lin family and Jia Yuanchun became a concubine again, the Xue family's role became less important. Mrs. Wang also temporarily gave up her idea of letting Xue Baochai be Baochai's second mistress.
Now, it is impossible for the empress to marry and Jia Baoyu to marry a noble daughter at the same time. Mrs. Wang can only aggrieve Jia Baoyu and successfully let the empress to marry.
But it was impossible for Mrs. Wang to accept Lin Daiyu. If Lin Ruhai had not donated so much property to the court, she would have been able to reluctantly agree.
The reason why I say reluctantly is because Mrs. Wang is afraid. What if Lin Daiyu learns to move things from the public treasury from Jia Mu? These are all things she worked hard to save for Baoyu.
Mrs. Wang's personality is that she refuses to admit defeat, otherwise she would not have resented Jia Min for so many years. Since Jia Baoyu cannot marry a noble daughter, she might as well marry a daughter-in-law who is caring to her.
Aunt Xue greeted Mrs. Wang happily and said, "Why is sister here?"
Mrs. Wang took Aunt Xue's hand and began to complain: "Sister, you don't know the pain in my heart. The family is counting on the empress and want her to give them promotions. But they don't think about it, it's not easy for the empress either.
.”
Aunt Xue also said, "Who says it's not the case? I heard from Pan'er that there are a lot of discussions about the Queen Mother's Provincial Princess. In order to be in the limelight, those people will do whatever it takes to build a villa for the Provincial Provincial Princess."
Mrs. Wang said: "It is my younger sister who understands me. Our queen is a noble concubine, so of course we cannot let the daughters of petty officials weigh down our heads. The eldest man obviously has money, but he is reluctant to spend it, so he just watches the queen make a fool of herself."
This was obviously because she wanted to borrow money, but Aunt Xue couldn't bear to part with it. She had already taken out a lot of it some time ago.
Seeing Mrs. Wang's purpose, Aunt Xue did not answer rashly.
Of course Mrs. Wang knows this. She spent a lot of money on borrowing money last time, so this trick no longer works.
Mrs. Wang said: "The last time I went to the palace to see the empress, I learned from her that I could get a title for Baoyu from the emperor."
Aunt Xue said with envy: "This is really a good thing. Congratulations, sister."
Mrs. Wang sighed and said: "You also know that Baoyu looks like a child who has not grown up, so how can you reassure me? I think Baochai is dignified and a good child. If she can help Baoyu, then...
It couldn't be better."
Aunt Xue was overjoyed. Mrs. Wang clearly hinted that she wanted Xue Baochai to marry Jia Baoyu. This was the best thing for the Xue family.
"How can Bao Yatou be as good as my sister said?" Aunt Xue said modestly.
Mrs. Wang said: "Sister, you are being humble. I have never seen a child as good as Bao Yatou. If the old lady hadn't objected, I would have really wished to accept this marriage."
It's like a bucket of cold water poured on Aunt Xue. If Jia Mu doesn't agree, doesn't that mean it won't work?
Mrs. Wang continued: "But sister, don't worry. I am your mother-in-law, and she will definitely listen to me. I will tell you when I see you."
"Sister, to tell you the truth, the family is temporarily unable to make ends meet. I hope my sister can help us once. If the empress knows that the Xue family has made great efforts to save the bride this time, there is no reason to refuse this marriage."
Mrs. Wang's words made Aunt Xue's eyes light up. Concubine Xiande used the Xue family's money to pay for her marriage, so she must agree to the marriage between the Xue family, otherwise how could Concubine Xiande convince the public.
Aunt Xue did not agree immediately, and said to Mrs. Wang: "I still need to discuss it with Pan'er. With so much money, he must come forward."
Mrs. Wang doesn't mind either. As long as Aunt Xue agrees, Xue Pan won't be a problem at all.
They said they were discussing with Xue Pan, but in fact they were discussing with Xue Baochai.
Xue Baochai fell into deep thought after listening to Aunt Xue's words. She had not met many men and didn't know much about people outside. Jia Baoyu was already the best choice she could see.
It is true that Jia Baoyu is not suitable for her husband, at least not yet, but Xue Baochai has no choice, right?
"Baochai, what do you think?"
Xue Baochai ignored her shyness and said, "Mom, it was my aunt who persuaded our family to come to the capital. Did you and your aunt also mention this in your letter?"
Aunt Xue sighed and said: "Hey, your aunt originally meant this, but the old lady obviously disagreed, and Baoyu was too small, so she didn't decide."
Xue Baochai asked: "Now the old lady doesn't agree, how did mom know that aunt can make the decision? Earlier, Mr. Lin's official position was not high and he was still far away in Yangzhou, so aunt looked down on the Lin family. Now it's different.
The Lin family is an aristocratic family, and Mr. Lin is the Minister of Household Affairs. To be honest, Mr. Lin's official position is more sacred than that of my uncle. How could aunt give up the Lin family and become our family?"
Aunt Xue said: "There are some things that you don't know. Your aunt did a lot of things that sorry for the Lin family. Now even if your aunt is willing, the Lin family must agree to this marriage."
This is what Xue Baochai is confused about. After the Lin family entered the capital, they became alienated from the Jia family. Lin Daiyu only came to the Jia family twice, and Lin Ruhai always followed her.
Xue Baochai asked: "Mom, please tell me in detail."
Aunt Xue thought for a while and then said: "The relationship between your aunt and Mrs. Lin was incompatible at first... Now, do you understand why the relationship between Mr. Lin and the Jia family is so estranged."
Can you still not understand?
Mrs. Wang is already targeting the heirs of the Lin family. Can Lin Ruhai still deliver the only seedling to her?
Xue Baochai asked: "What if the Lin family takes revenge?"
Aunt Xue was also shocked. If Lin Ruhai retaliated, he would probably attack Jia Baoyu and let Mrs. Wang taste the same pain.
After thinking for a while, Aunt Xue comforted herself and said: "Baoyu's sister is the empress after all. Mr. Lin should not dare to attack Baoyu. If Mr. Lin really wants to take revenge, can he wait until now? I guess it should be the old lady
I warned Mr. Lin."
Jia Baoyu's current conditions are indeed good, at least on the surface. The crisis behind the Jia family is not something Xue Baochai can see.
Xue Baochai said: "But Mom, my aunt's family needs a lot of money. If our family has money, there will be nothing left. What will my brother do in the future?"
"When the empress wins face in front of the emperor, the Jia family will get less money. Baoyu is also a man of good fortune. When he gets the title and goes out to become a high official, he can help your brother along with him and our family's money will come back. Don't
Forgot that the Lin family earned such a huge fortune only through the support of the Supreme Emperor."
Xue Baochai was moved, and came up with an idea, saying: "I am also an innocent daughter, so I can't be involved with Baoyu in black and white. It's better to change the Gengtie in private."
The girl shouldn't have talked about this, but fortunately she was talking to her mother and no one else could hear it, so Xue Baochai spoke out boldly.
Even if the Geng tie is changed privately, it is a relatively safe bond for the Xue family.
Aunt Xue also thought this was a good idea and said in agreement: "If your brother was half as smart as you, I wouldn't have to worry so much. I'll talk to your aunt about this in two days."
