Chapter 351: The quarrel in the Jia family is still minor
Aunt Xue has always been the most spoiled child. From Xue Pan to Baochai, she loved and pampered her from childhood to adulthood. Later, when she met Baoyu, she saw that others were good-looking and good-tempered, and she was praised as the phoenix of the Jia family.
Generally speaking, Aunt Xue naturally spoils Baoyu very much.
When he heard this, he spoke for Baoyu and said:
"You are a sensible person, good at housekeeping, good at management, smart, and well-rounded. You can live in an IKEA home. Your aunt said that she would rest assured if I leave this house in your hands.
Baoyu is good at everything, but his love of red cannot be changed from childhood to old age, so it's not a big deal.
Since you saw it, why didn't you open your mouth to persuade him? If you opened your mouth, Baoyu would have no reason to be disobedient."
"I'm not her mother." Baochai had been pretending to be virtuous and generous outside for a day. When she came home, she didn't bother to pretend anymore, so she called outside, "Ying'er brings some tea."
Ying'er originally listened to their mother and daughter talking about themselves, so she went outside to play chess pieces with the little girl. She just won another ten big coins and was feeling very happy when she suddenly heard Baochai calling her, so she chased after several little girls.
The girl had collected all the winning and losing money, counted the big money, then put it away, and hurriedly ran in to pour tea for Baochai.
Baochai picked up the tea and took a few sips, then asked Ying'er to go out, and then said:
"Mom, when will these annoying days end?
If I enter the palace, I will spend all my time trying to please people, just to curry favor with the emperor. What is going on now?
Outsiders don’t know, even if my mother talks to my aunt every day, she still doesn’t know? The Jia family is no longer what it used to be. It looks good on the outside, but it’s hard to live inside. Why do we want to marry each other?”
Aunt Xue saw Baochai looking bored and quickly coaxed her:
"My son, isn't there nothing we can do?
If you are unable to enter the palace, I will also ask someone here to send you to the palace. However, although our family was an imperial merchant earlier, now it is just a false name. People will know it once they check.
What's more, something happened to your brother again. Even if he wants to send you to be a serious second wife, he won't do it.
If they are just sent in as concubines, only the Prince of Xi'an's Mansion agrees. However, the Prince of Xi'an is almost 70 this year, and the main wife is still there, with more than ten concubines, and her son has already given birth to fourteen. You go in and do it.
I can’t survive even if I have a concubine.”
"Where is the King of Beijing? He is an iron-hatted king and he is young. I am also happy to be his concubine. If that doesn't work, I can also be a slave. I will definitely find a way to ascend to the throne.
With my ability, there is no princess that I cannot coax, and there is no man that I cannot win.”
Baochai banged the teacup in his hand:
"The good wind has sent me to the top with its strength. As long as it is a man who is really powerful and capable, I would rather be a child for him."
Aunt Xue felt distressed when she heard this, tears rolled down her cheeks, and she cried:
"This is impossible.
You have been pampered since you were a child, so how do you understand the difficulties of being a slave to others?
As the saying goes: It’s better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. No matter how bad the Jia family is, the camel is too skinny to be bigger than the horse, the ship is broken and there are still three thousand nails, there is still wealth in ten or twenty years.
Just think about it, in the past twenty years, with the Jia family as a backer, your brother's business has started to flourish. As long as our Xue family recovers its strength, aren't you going to go sideways in the Jia family?
Don't say angry words, where can you be as comfortable as here with your aunt as your backer?
You also know that your aunt only has Baoyu in her heart, and she can’t wait to give him all the wealth. Think about it, if you marry Baoyu, won’t all these wealth be yours?”
.
Baochai knew that what she said was just angry words, and she also understood that if she really got mixed up among a group of women who were born as maids, she would not necessarily have an advantage.
With a sigh, Baochai said again:
"What can my aunt give Baoyu? The title of Rongguo Mansion belongs to the big house, and Jia Lian is there, how can it be Baoyu's turn?
Logically speaking, these noble properties in the Rongguo Mansion should be given to the eldest grandson of the second wife. With Jia Lan and his mother here, it still cannot be Baoyu's turn.
Mom, why don't you discuss with your aunt to divorce Feng Yatou and let me fill Lian Er's house? I'm smarter than Feng Yatou, so I can definitely hold Lian Er's hand."
Aunt Xue waved her hands repeatedly:
"You can't be confused. Your aunt's whole life's hope is in Baoyu, and she will do anything for Baoyu.
What's the use of marrying Lian Er? Can Lian Er listen to your aunt? This mansion is now in your aunt's hands, and sooner or later it will be in Baoyu's hands."
"But Baoyu is a waste." Baochai became upset when she thought of Baoyu, "There is also the attacker next to him who pretends to be serious, but actually smells disgusting. I hate him when I see him."
Aunt Xue quickly coaxed her:
"Then as soon as you pass the door, you will send the attacker away directly. Sell them from afar, out of sight and out of mind."
Seeing that Baochai was feeling better, Aunt Xue asked the little girl to quickly serve the food:
"It's hard on you too. You have to go on inspection every day after eating."
Baochai said without emotion:
"It's just a play with them every day.
My mother didn’t know that she didn’t see it, but the sedan I was riding in for inspection at night only had the small curtains on both sides open, and the big curtain in the front was definitely not open.
It’s not that I’m afraid of catching the wind, it’s that I’m afraid that there are some mysterious people in front of me that I can’t avoid. If I bump into them, do you think I should care or not?
With the curtains hung like this, as long as I can't see, everyone can get by, that's all.
These things in their house are all rotten. Whoever wants to care can care about it. Those women can gamble if they like. I will not do such offending things.
I just want not to involve our family. Even those trivial things like gambling and stealing things. As long as they don’t get published in the past few days, it’s everyone’s fault. If they do, they will still be counted among the people.
It’s just on the girl’s head.”
.
It was not until a long time after Mrs. Wang left that Sister Feng came to her senses. She didn't say anything, but just pulled Ping'er and cried desperately.
Ping'er was so frightened that she quickly closed the doors and windows tightly and kept trying to persuade Sister Feng.
Sister Feng finally calmed down gradually. She pulled Ping'er and was about to express her grievances when she heard someone in the courtyard curse bitterly:
"No matter how bad Huan'er is, he is still a serious master. There is no reason for you to underestimate him!
The master has already agreed to give Huan'er a woman, so why would any slave dare to take action first? Are there any rules in this house?"
.
It turns out that Mrs. Wang recently saw that Caixia in the house had turned eighteen years old and was becoming more and more enchanting. She was afraid that she would lead Baoyu into trouble, so she sent her away mercifully and let her parents choose a son-in-law for her to marry. p>
Coincidentally, the son of Wang Xifeng's roommate, Lai Wang'er, was seventeen years old this year, and he had already fallen in love with Caixia, so he asked Lai Wang'er to propose marriage.
Caixia had already given her body to Jia Huan when she arrived. Secondly, she had heard that Wang'er's son drank and gambled. He was ugly, ignorant of any skills, and was unwilling to do so.
Very anxious, Caixia took advantage of the darkness and asked her sister Xiaoxia to go into the second door to find Aunt Zhao for help.
Aunt Zhao had long seen Caixia as a good person, and she had a passionate heart for Jia Huan. She also wished that Caixia would become a member of Jia Huan's house and give her more arms, so she sent Jia Huan to find Mrs. Wang to ask for it.
.
Pian Jia Huan has been having a heated fight with Cai Yun recently, and he has long been tired of Cai Xia taking the initiative to stick to her, so he postpones going.
Caixia was anxious, so she repeatedly asked her sister to look for Aunt Zhao. Aunt Zhao found an opportunity one night to persuade Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng couldn't tell which girl Caixia was, so he turned around and told Mrs. Wang about it.
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she immediately guessed that Aunt Zhao was behind the instigation. She also happened to hear Wang'er say that his son had fallen in love with Caixia, so she immediately agreed.
Lai Wang'er had someone to rely on, so he went to Caixia's parents and worked hard to get the marriage done. Caixia's parents didn't know that Caixia had already given her body to Jia Huan, and they also coveted the betrothal gift from Lai Wang'er's family.
I accepted the marriage.
Caixia learns that she refuses to die.
Caixia's parents said that Lai Wang'er was Wang Xifeng's companion and should not be offended. If Wang Xifeng knew about her and said he looked down on her and the Wang family, Caixia's family would not have a good life in the future.
Caixia was anxious and asked her sister to find Aunt Zhao, saying that Wang Xifeng deliberately wanted to break up her and Jia Huan, so she pressured her parents to marry her by force.
