Because she had a feeling called jealousy towards Xue Baochai.
In her heart, Jia Lian had been outclassed by Jia Yun before.
And today, when she heard that Jia Yun had raided many people's homes in Huainan, including a general soldier and a prefect, and heard that the emperor not only rewarded Jia Yun with a hundred taels of gold, but also invited Jia Yun to be a host.
She left Jia Yun to have lunch together in the palace. She admired Jia Yun in her heart...
In comparison, Jia Lian was ineffective. He was sent to Chang'an camp with the help of Jia's family, and was taken care of by the Yun family of Chang'an camp. As a result, he hardly made any military achievements after being there for so long. Instead, he was quietly accepted into Chang'an County.
I got a second room, and finally came back with the second room in disgrace.
Not to mention, after Jia Lian came back, he was often scolded by Jia She, and even beat him several times. Moreover, even Jia's mother's attitude towards Jia Lian was not as kind and loving as before...
Comparing this kind of Jia Lian with today's Jia Yun, he looks even worse.
Moreover, since Jia Lian came back with his second wife, Jia Lian's attitude towards Wang Xifeng was not as good as before. Although Wang Xifeng had deliberately suppressed his temper, he still had troubles with Jia Lian several times, so that now Jia Lian rarely lives in her house.
.
In Wang Xifeng's view, although Jia Yun likes maids, he is a man who knows how to take care of and considerate women, and he is not a greedy one.
She knew one thing, that is, Xiren and Zijuan had become Jia Yun's tenants in name, and both had received two taels of silver as monthly allowance for the tenants, but the two maids still paid
Didn't show any face.
In this regard, Jia Lian was also surpassed by Jia Yun.
In addition, Jia Lian only donated the official title of Tongzhi of the state, which belonged to the sixth rank of Cong. As Jia Lian's wife, Wang Xifeng belonged to the sixth rank of An. This status was not even a serious imperial wife, so she was called the imperial wife.
Just like the Ming Dynasty, in the Qing Dynasty, the gifts received by the mothers and wives of officials above the fifth rank were called imperial orders, and the gifts received by the mothers and wives of officials below the sixth rank were called imperial orders.
Wang Xifeng has always been unhappy about this, and has been complaining about it, thinking that she comes from the now powerful Wang family, married into Rongguofu, a wealthy family with martial arts that has produced two generations of princes, and married to the current Rongguofu family.
The eldest grandson, it turned out that after several years of marriage, he couldn't even get a fifth-grade pleasant title.
The You family from the Ningguo Mansion next door is about the same age as her Wang Xifeng. In terms of family background, she is much worse than her Wang Xifeng. In terms of shrewdness and talent, she is also much worse than her Wang Xifeng, and she is still a surname.
But the You family relied on Jia Zhen's title of third-rank mighty general, and when she first married Jia Zhen, she directly granted her the title of third-rank lady.
Jia Yun is only a few years younger than Wang Xifeng, and Xue Baochai is also only a few years younger than Wang Xifeng.
Jia Yun, who is only a few years younger than Wang Xifeng, is now the first-class royal guard of the third rank, the fifth-rank Imperial Envoy Coal Mine Director, and the third-rank general of the third rank. With Jia Yun's great ability and the emperor's support for him
Appreciation, in Wang Xifeng's opinion, it probably won't be long before Jia Yun is promoted to a second-grade official.
Xue Baochai, who is only a few years younger than Wang Xifeng, will be conferred the title of third-grade lady once she marries Jia Yun. Once Jia Yun is promoted to a second-grade official, Xue Baochai, the "little girl" in Wang Xifeng's eyes, will be
It will be the second-grade lady’s order!
When a man reaches the second rank or above as an official, he becomes a senior official, that is, a big shot in the Qing Dynasty.
In the same way, as a woman, when her imperial decree reaches the rank of second-grade wife or above, she becomes a serious lady.
So this time Wang Xifeng was really envious and even jealous of Xue Baochai.
Wang Xifeng feels that in terms of beauty, she is no worse than Xue Baochai. In terms of family background, her Wang family is getting better and better than before, while the Xue family is getting worse and worse than before. She even has no official position in the family. In terms of shrewdness and talent, Wang Xifeng also feels that
I am stronger than Xue Baochai...
But it was Xue Baochai who could marry Jia Yun, an outstanding brother who is rare in the world!
well!
When Wang Xifeng personally went to Jia Yun's house in a sedan chair to invite Bu Wuniang, Wang Xifeng kept sighing in her heart along the way. The more she sighed, the more jealous she became, and the more jealous she became, the more depressed she became.
She even couldn't help but have the idea that it would be better if she could be born a few years later. If she could be born a few years later, she believed that when she learned that the Jia family had a brother like Jia Yun, she would definitely
I will try my best to fight for it. In this way, it will not be Xue Baochai but Wang Xifeng who will marry Jia Yun this time.
It's a pity that this kind of thing is just something she is thinking about now due to strong jealousy and depression.
We can't turn back time, and she can't really be born a few years later.
well!
…
…
After Jia Yun left Rongqing Hall, she immediately rode back to her mansion.
In this era, marriage is a matter of course dictated by the parents and the matchmaker.
This time Jia Yun acted as a matchmaker for himself in a domineering manner and didn't care what the matchmaker said. However, out of filial piety, he still needed to pay attention to his parents' orders.
Logically speaking, even if Jia Yun wanted to do the matchmaking for himself, he should have told Bu Wuniang about it in advance. But he didn't and did the matchmaking for himself on his own initiative. This is already considered unfilial.
First, because Jia Yun saw the hairstyle of Xue Baochai who was about to get married today at the Rongqing Hall, and was really moved, and felt that this was a good opportunity to talk about matchmaking.
The second reason is because Jia Yun knew that Bu Wuniang would not mind such a thing, and Bu Wuniang admired Xue Baochai very much and would be willing to see him marry Xue Baochai.
But now Jia Yun still needs to rush back to her house immediately to talk to Bu Wuniang about this matter.
At this moment, Jia Yun walked into the bright room of the main room of Bu Wuniang's courtyard.
Xiren, Zijuan, Qingwen, Xiangling, Liu Wuer and several pretty maids are all here.
After greeting Bu Wuniang, Jia Yun said straight to the point: "Mom, there is something important I want to tell you."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Bu Wuniang smiled and asked, "What's important?"
Xiren, Zijuan, Qingwen, Xiangling, and Liu Wuer all became curious.
Unexpectedly, Jia Yun said: "When I went to see the old lady just now, I arranged a matchmaker for myself."
Bu Wuniang: "..."
The maids: "..."
Everyone was stunned for a moment before they reacted. Bu Wuniang's eyes widened in shock: "Yun'er means that you arranged a matchmaker for yourself in front of the old lady?"
Jia Yun nodded.
Bu Wuniang: "..."
The maids: "..."
Even though they all knew that Jia Yun would often do some surprising or strange things, they couldn't help but be shocked and stunned by the fact that she was trying to match herself.
Bu Wuniang quickly asked: "What's going on? Which girl are you trying to matchmaker for?"
Immediately, Jia Yun explained the matter in detail.
While saying this, Jia Yun also apologized to Bu Wuniang seriously.
After listening, although Bu Wuniang was even more shocked, she also felt satisfied in her heart. She was satisfied that Jia Yun had fulfilled her original promise to her and really wanted to get engaged within a year. She was also satisfied that Jia Yun wanted to get engaged this time.
The target is Xue Baochai, the daughter of the Xue family.
Bu Wuniang first deliberately criticized Jia Yun for being bold and absurd in trying to match herself, and then said with a smile: "But this is a great thing."
"Mother has said before that you are an unusual child. You are already a distinguished man in charge at a young age, and now you are so highly appreciated by the emperor. You should get engaged as soon as possible, get up early, get a wife, and have children as soon as possible."
"As for Miss Bao of the Xue family, I have met her several times. She is very good, with good appearance and good character. Her family used to be a family of officials. Now even if it is not a family of officials, she is still a rich man.
, and you yourself have taken a liking to her."
Bu Wuniang admired Xue Baochai when she first met her last year. At that time, she felt it was a pity because she knew that one of the purposes of the Xue family's visit to Beijing was to send Xue Baochai to be a female official, so it would be inconvenient to allocate Xue Baochai to Jia Yun.
.
Later, under the deliberate arrangement of Aunt Xue, Aunt Xue deliberately brought Xue Baochai to see Bu Wuniang several times, which made Bu Wuniang appreciate Xue Baochai more and more.
Aunt Xue also deliberately told Bu Wuniang that Xue Baochai has not yet submitted for selection. If Xue Baochai can find a good marriage before the selection, the Xue family will not submit for selection.
Obviously, Aunt Xue did this deliberately to hint to Bu Wuniang, hoping that Bu Wuniang would take the initiative to propose an engagement between Xue Baochai and Jia Yun.
Bu Wuniang did have such an idea because of this, but she knew that Jia Yun was very independent, including marriage matters, and she was willing to respect Jia Yun's own ideas on marriage matters.
Not only because she is open-minded in this area, but also because Jia Yun is really an extraordinary brother. At a young age, he has already built a big business with his own hands. He is not only a man in charge, but also a distinguished official.
Bu Wuniang just hid this idea in her heart for the time being. She planned to wait until Jia Yun took the initiative to discuss marriage with him before she said it.
As a result, Bu Wuniang didn't expect that Jia Yun would suddenly go as a matchmaker for her today. The target of the matchmaking was Xue Baochai, and she did it in front of so many female relatives in the Rongqing Hall of Jia Mu's Courtyard in Rongguo Mansion, and in person.
In front of Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai said...
Bu Wuniang was inevitably depressed about this. Jia Yun's behavior was unfilial to her.
However, she knew Jia Yun well and knew that Jia Yun did not do this intentionally to be unfilial to her, but did not take her seriously. In fact, her son's behavior was sometimes beyond common sense.
What's more, after Jia Yun arranged the matchmaking for her, she immediately rushed back to tell her the matter in detail, and apologized to her seriously.
At present, Xiren, Zijuan, Qingwen, Xiangling, Liu Wuer and other pretty maids are all satisfied with Jia Yun's marriage.
Xue Baochai was indeed beautiful, dignified, reserved, and behaved openly. She followed the times and was a good person. Because of this, she was loved by the people in Rongguo Mansion soon after she moved into Rongguo Mansion.
Xue Baochai has been to Jia Yun's house several times. After several times, because she is good at being a good person and she also wants to "win over" the people in Jia Yun's house, she gave some gifts to Xi Ren and other maids.
, since she also knew Xiren and Zijuan were Jia Yun’s nominal roommate, the gifts she gave them were worth a lot of money.
So much so that Xi Ren and other maids also liked Xue Baochai.
Originally, Xi Ren and the other maids were worried that if Jia Yun married a wife with a bad character, they would suffer. The three who were most worried about this were Xi Ren, Zijuan and Qingwen.
Xiren and Zijuan are already nominally members of Jia Yun's house. If Jia Yun marries a jealous and ruthless wife in the future, they think they will be in big trouble.
To end up being kicked out or even die miserably is just like what happened to the people in Jia Lian's room in Rongguo Mansion.
Xiren and Zijuan talked a lot about Jia Yun's future wife in private. During the discussion, they also mentioned Wang Xifeng several times, both of them were afraid that Jia Yun would marry a real wife like Wang Xifeng in the future.
Both of them grew up in Rongguo Mansion, and they knew a lot about Wang Xifeng's methods of dealing with the people in Jia Lian's room.
Qingwen is worried because she also knows that she speaks sharply and acts willfully. She also knows that because of her beauty, she is superior to others, which makes it easy for women to be jealous in the wealthy inner houses of this era.
Qingwen's ending in the original novel was so tragic mainly because she was jealous of her character and beauty.
It's okay now. The wife Jia Yun is going to marry is Xue Baochai. Xiren, Zicuckoo, and Qingwen suddenly feel less worried. The three of them all think that Xue Baochai is a man of good character and should not be easy on the people in Jia Yun's room.
If you are jealous, you should not be cruel, or even dissatisfied with Qingwen's character...
After Jia Yun married such a legitimate wife and had such a wife in the house, Xi Ren, Zicuckoo, and Qingwen all felt that they should be able to live a good life in the house from now on.
At this time, Bu Wuniang asked with concern: "Did Aunt Xue agree? Did the old lady of Xifu agree?"
Bu Wuniang knew that although she was Jia Yun's mother, Jia Yun's marriage required not only the consent of her elder, but also the consent of Jia's mother.
Because the Rongguo Mansion has a lot of kindness to Jia Yun, Jia Yun has already tied herself to the Rongguo Mansion. If Jia Yun wants to get married, but Jia's mother does not agree, Jia Yun will still have to force the marriage.
The relationship between Jia Mu and even Rongguo Mansion was at loggerheads...
What's more, this time Jia Yun's matchmaker is Xue Baochai, who is equivalent to half a girl from Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Yun smiled and said: "Mom, I don't know about this yet. After I talked to myself about the matchmaking, the old lady hurriedly sent me away, saying that this kind of thing should be discussed by the women in the inner house."
Bu Wuniang said with a smile: "That's true. It's not that my mother has talked about you again and again. It's really ridiculous for you to do the matchmaking for yourself this time."
At this moment, the Yu Zhu family suddenly walked in and said respectfully: "Madam, Second Master, Grandma Feng from Rongguo Mansion is here. She said she has something important to see Madam."
When Jia Yun heard this, she immediately guessed the reason and said with a smile: "The old lady probably asked the second aunt to call my mother to discuss my marriage."
Bu Wuniang nodded and said to the Zhu family: "Please come in."
"yes."
The Yu Zhu family took the order and left.
Soon, Wang Xifeng walked into the bright room of the main room...
