Aunt Li also raised her eyes when she heard this:
"Oh my god, I didn't expect this!
It’s just that, my brother, you and I are not without calculations, please listen to me.
I originally thought that when Baoyu became the master in the future, wouldn’t you become Lai Da? I would follow you and get ahead.
Look at the Lai family. Isn’t it because Aunt Lai is the nanny of the second master? It took two or three lifetimes to get ahead. Now, Lai Da is the housekeeper here, and Lai Er is the housekeeper in the East Mansion.
If you make money no matter what, can you become a rich man?
Although Lai Shangrong, the son of the Lai family, was born in a family, the old lady issued a message and let him go as soon as he was born. Isn’t it a great blessing?
Lai Shangrong has never been a servant for a day. He has been surrounded by girls and wives since he was a child, and his wife is like a phoenix, which is not much worse than Baoyu.
Later, he went to school to read and read like the young masters of the Jia family. A slave is much better than a serious person.
When he was twenty years old, it was the grace of the old lady who allowed him to donate his future. How honorable was this? Since he became an official, he has become more powerful and fatter than before. Looking at
Just blessed.
I heard them say in front of me that the newly built garden of the Lai family is much smaller than the one in the Dongfu. There are pavilions, water pavilions, and buildings and halls. They go in and out in sedan chairs, and the slaves call the maids. Grandma Lai lived like the old Fengjun.
Similar.
I just hope that I can enjoy it like her for a few years, and then I am willing to die."
Li Gui waved his hand:
"You old man is confused!
How can the Jia family today compare with that of the past few years? With the current situation of the family, how much income and income they make every year, who is not wise and discerning?
At this moment, you still want to cherish the long-term future, but you still have to wait in line behind the Lai family to be the housekeeper of the Jia family?
"A long tent is built thousands of miles away, and there is no feast that lasts forever." Who will guard whom for the rest of his life? After three or five years, everyone went to do their own thing. At that time, who cared about whom?
My mother, I am not exaggerating, but the second master in our mansion is not serious about making a fortune. He has been an official for almost twenty years and is still a fifth-rank official.
If the ancestor's luck was still there, and Brother Zhu was still alive, he might have passed the imperial examination, prospered, and revitalized the family business, but he was gone long ago.
The remaining Mr. Bao, who eats rouge and coaxes maids, is just a white rice borer in the pile of fat and powder. With him eating, drinking and enjoying, but without him in official career and economy, what's the use?
There is also the Third Master Huan, who is full of guts and wants to follow his little old lady and kill everyone secretly, then seize all the family property and dominate the house. Under the hands of this kind of thing,
Can you live a good life?
Lang Ge'er is a decent scholar, but Grandma Zhu takes a close look at her, and we can't get along with him.
Let’s count it out on our fingers. Isn’t it the case that Second Master Lian is the only one with a hot stove?
A serious official of the third rank who has been conferred by the emperor will have to be promoted in the future.
This is the housekeeper Lai you old man mentioned. Not long ago, his wife gave the old lady a handsome girl, and the old lady gave it to Mr. Lian as a reward. He used a girl to buy two famous sons. Can you
Compare with others?"
Grandma Li has a scorpion-like temperament. After hearing this, she couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and patted her butt, and said, "I'll go and ask Wu Xindeng's family." Before Li Gui could say anything, she was already leaning on her back.
The crutch went thump-dong-dong.
.
Sister Feng must visit Mrs. Wang two or three times every day. After all, they are aunt and nephew, and they are both dissatisfied with the eldest wife, Mrs. Xing. There is always a lot to talk about together.
But he said that when he arrived at Mrs. Wang's place that day, Aunt Xue was also there, and they were all members of the Wang family, and he said it warmly.
During this time, Mrs. Wang sighed:
"Bao Yatou praised Xiren to me several times, saying that she has a gentle temperament and a heavy demeanor. I am watching here and I am also pleased that the girl is generous and honest.
In the past, when I served the old lady, there was only one old lady in my heart; now when I serve Baoyu, there is only one Baoyu in my heart.
When Baoyu was eccentric, she never catered to Baoyu's mischief. She was the only one who always rebuked Baoyu when he was mischievous.
I had made a decision to be Baoyu's housekeeper, but the master didn't allow it. He said that Baoyu was young and was afraid of missing his studies, so he waited another year or two.
I’m not saying that if Baoyu, a child with such a pure heart and dedicated family, is really good at nature and can have her serve him from afar for the rest of his life, then that’s all.”
Aunt Xue quickly said:
"This is long overdue.
Needless to say, her appearance is natural. She is generous in her actions and gentle in her words, but also strong-willed. This is really rare."
Mrs. Wang pulled Aunt Xue and said:
"Especially Bao Yatou and she get along well. Both of them are virtuous. With them by their side, my Baoyu will be blessed."
Aunt Xue nodded repeatedly:
"It is precisely this saying, blessed are the children, and blessed are the mothers."
Mrs. Wang sighed repeatedly:
"There is no one better than a mother who knows her son, and no one loves her son more than a mother, but Baoyu's marriage cannot be decided by her mother.
When the master's father was still alive, he was determined to build his family by taking the imperial examination. He wanted his only son to study well and married the master's sister to the Gusu Lin family.
The master himself also likes to study hard. When Zhu'er gets married, many good families don't want to marry him, but insist on marrying the daughter of Li Shouzhong, the imperial concubine.
It's time to go to Baoyu. When I saw what the old lady meant, I knew that I wanted to book Miss Lin.
I checked the master’s tone in private, and all he said was, ‘It’s up to the old lady to make the decision.’ How could this happen?”
Aunt Xue also knew that although the Wang family was in power, if she were to be considered a Xue family, she would be just an imperial merchant after all.
If a businessman's daughter is paired with a prince like Baoyu, then he must have reached a higher level.
As for whether you can climb up, it depends on the strength of Mrs. Wang.
So Aunt Xue quickly smiled and said:
"Whoever loses the flesh will feel pain.
Baoyu is my wife’s son. If my wife doesn’t love him, who will?”
Mrs. Wang glanced sideways at Wang Xifeng:
"Isn't that true? She is about to become a mother, and she should understand what it feels like to be a mother anxious day and night."
Wang Xifeng didn't dare to answer, so she had to smile and listen.
Mrs. Wang said to Sister Feng again:
"That bastard in your family exposed his own relatives, bought benefits, and got promoted. What if this leads to the emperor investigating your brother Pan?
Pan'er is young, I don't know what happened here many years ago, and out of kindness, I gave that longevity material to you, Brother Zhen.
If that bastard of yours felt something was wrong, why didn't he just say it out loud and discuss it with everyone? How could he just use a sword and perform a show in the street?
Now that he is living in a job without an official position, what does the old lady think of your aunt? I just said something about Girl Bao yesterday, and the old lady praised Girl Lin seven or eight times.
If we continue like this, aren't we going to ruin our big business?"
(Mrs. Wang: I also came to say a nice word to the author for my precious jade
