"But if I ask outside, who has ever seen a concubine at home who doesn't serve grandma, but stays with the girl? This is because the girl doesn't take me as her sister-in-law seriously, or she is willing to be humble and just want to follow that person who is not on the stage.
They're all in the same place. Why, you're pointing at that girl Xiang Ling as if she's not serving your brother. There's no such thing as a taboo in any family. Talking about royal businessmen, ah! I'm not afraid of the wind blowing my tongue. That's what I'm doing at home.
A little money, my Xia family is enough to clean up the floor. The whole family is licking their faces to ask for marriage. Now I, an innocent girl, have been abused by you, neither horizontally nor vertically, nor are you picking on my faults. This
Didn't you first trick me into your house, see that I don't have any brothers from my mother's family, and think about teasing me? When I can't bear it anymore, you can bring my family's money so that you can support your daughter, right? This is my daughter.
They all marry to support their parents' families. Your family is really good, but you have to give money to the girl before you can marry her off. If you drag down a family like this, I would die of shame. I don't have the nerve to point fingers in this family.
"Xia Jingui just pointed at the sky and the earth outside and yelled.
Aunt Xue wanted to retaliate, but she felt that it would be embarrassing for a mother-in-law to not be able to control her daughter-in-law. Besides, it would be embarrassing for an elder to be bumped into by a younger one.
Xiangling knelt in front of Xue Baochai, crying uncontrollably. "I was the one who caused the girl's trouble."
Xue Baochai couldn't care less about her. Xia Jingui's scoldings fell on her heart like a whip, making her suffer.
Aunt Xue couldn't quarrel with her daughter-in-law like this, and scolded Xue Pan through the window: "... I have lost my conscience. I gave birth to you and raised you, and I have worried about you all my life. Now that I have married you and started a family, no
I dare to expect you to be so filial, but you can watch your mother force your daughter-in-law to death."
Xue Pan felt sad when he heard this. He was a bit of a jerk to others. He was really kind to my mother and sister.
He came out of the house sarcastically and said: "Mom, please go back to your room and rest. I drank too much last night and really had a headache. I didn't hear it just now. My son is teaching that woman a lesson. Just don't be angry."
When Aunt Xue saw her son, she apologized and admitted her mistake with a smile, and her anger softened for a moment. She said: "When a man's family is established, it is time to establish a family."
Xue Pan smiled and nodded, "That's right, mother, don't worry, I'll go back and take care of her later."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Xia Jingui's howl, "I know I shouldn't have agreed to this marriage. This family has a vicious heart. They are trying to kill me so that they can gain access to my Xia family's property. Strange people say
, you must not get married to the son of a widow’s family. Only now do you know the pain involved. Where can there be a mother-in-law who doesn’t point out her son and his wife to live a good life, but encourages her son to beat her. You show the world..."
"I told you to stop howling." Xue Pan almost became so angry when he saw his mother that he quickly stopped.
"Okay, you little turtle bastard, you've put your pants up now and you don't recognize me anymore." Xia Jingui put his hands on his hips and spat at Xue Pan. Then he rubbed his chest and cried out in pain, "This family is deliberately trying to kill me.
."
Xue Pan couldn't contradict his mother, and he was a little afraid of Xia Jingui. He was neither left nor right. Xiang Ling happened to hear Xia Jingui complaining about chest pain and ran out. Xue Pan immediately found an outlet to vent his anger and kicked Xiang Ling.
He fell to the ground and said, "Where are you going to hold up your body? I don't know what you can do to serve your grandma and persuade my wife."
Xiangling immediately covered her stomach and lay hunched over on the ground unable to move.
Xia Jingui glanced at it, with a smile on her lips. Seeing how hopeless her son was, Aunt Xue scolded: "You...you worthless thing, why did you beat her? You beat me and your sister together."
Only when you die will you be satisfied."
The fussing lasted for a while before it finally subsided. In the evening, mother and daughter sat opposite each other, feeling a little sad.
"I never knew this girl from the Xia family had such character." Aunt Xue patted Xue Baochai's hand and said, "My son will be wronged."
"Mom, I also want to say something shameless today." Xue Baochai lowered his head and said, "Mom, think about it yourself."
"We two, there is nothing we can't talk about." Aunt Xue knew that this girl had more ideas and abilities than her son, and she always believed in her daughter's words.
"Mom, why don't you go and beg your aunt tomorrow to help arrange a proper marriage for me?" Xue Baochai whispered.
"Your aunt and I have already agreed on your marriage to Baoyu..." Aunt Xue took over in a hurry.
"Are there three matchmaking and six certificates?" Xue Baochai raised his head and looked at Aunt Xue and asked.
Aunt Xue was speechless for a moment and said: "Then there's no need to ask your aunt to find someone else for you. We'll ask someone else to help you..." Aunt Xue felt that she was regretting asking herself to go back on her word now, and she couldn't open her mouth. After all, she was still living in someone else's house.
"Don't I know this truth? Mom just goes to find my aunt. I have my own thoughts." After Xue Baochai finished speaking, he got up and went back to the house.
Aunt Xue tossed and turned for a long time before she finally understood what her daughter meant. This was not really about getting married, but a disguised form of forcing her sister to make her final decision. If she had waited until now, she would still refuse to say anything.
The answer is affirmative, it is better to imitate the wedding ceremony of welcoming the spring. Even if it is a renewal, it will not be a bad life.
Mrs. Wang was stunned when she heard Aunt Xue's intention. Wasn't this something she had already agreed upon? Why did she regret it without saying a word?
Aunt Xue said: "I'm not afraid of my sister's jokes. My daughter-in-law is not a good one. Bao Yatou is at home, but I don't know how she caught her eye. Her nose is not a nose, and her face is not a face. Instead of letting her suffer at home, I would rather
It's better to send her out early, because I, the mother-in-law, love her."
Mrs. Wang was really stumped for a moment. If the Xue family was willing to lower their standards and have a wedding like the Spring Festival, it would still be possible. But on Baoyu's side, if he waits for the empress to give birth to a prince and then worry about it, he may not really be able to meet Kexin.
Besides, the conditions at home were getting worse and worse. The palace sent people again to ask for money. As long as the master was in office, he sent people back every month. He said they were paying regards to the old lady, but they were actually asking for money. Anyway,
When you become an official, you don't get to take the money home. Instead, you receive some money and don't know how much it is.
Even if the empress gives birth to a prince, the palace will only use more money. The family will not be able to benefit for a while. With the Xue family here, at least they can still supplement their own income.
Then he smiled and said: "What do you mean? The matter between Baoyu and Bao Yatou has been decided by us sisters. Now, it's just that we haven't had family filial piety, so it's hard to mention it."
Aunt Xue cursed in her heart: In the Spring Festival wedding, didn't the Geng Tie be exchanged first?
It was hard for her to say this, so she only said: "This matter is also the wishful thinking of our sisters. How could we do it correctly? It was me who delayed Bao Yatou, and I just couldn't bear it. Now that such a prodigal has entered the family, I
You can’t let me, my precious little girl, suffer injustice at home.”
Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Since you asked me to be the matchmaker, you have to listen to me on this matter. Although my Baoyu is a bit disappointing, fortunately, he is kind to the girl's family. You have watched the two sisters grow up.
I am a childhood sweetheart who knows the basics and is no better than others. I will report it to the old lady today and let’s settle the matter."
Aunt Xue now had a smile on her face. She began to rely more and more on her daughter.
After hearing Mrs. Wang's suggestion, Mother Jia mentioned the matter again, but this time she did not refute. She had already vaguely felt that the empress in the palace was afraid that something would happen, and it was hard to say whether the family would be implicated. The Xue family
A girl who can judge the situation and follow the right circumstances will hand the precious jade into her hands. If nothing else, at least she will not suffer any great grievances.
Because the timing was indeed wrong, and because Baoyu was afraid that Baoyu would make a fuss if he knew the truth, the exchange of invitations between the two families was extremely low-key. However, the marriage was finally officially decided.
After Lin Yutong knew the news, she didn't hide it from Daiyu. Lin Daiyu is a long-term love person. Just because she doesn't talk or ask, it doesn't mean that she doesn't care about it at all.
When she went to bed at night, Lin Daiyu seemed to have seen another version of herself lying in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion of the Grand View Garden, and the faint sound of festive suonas and gongs and drums could be heard. She heard the girl say that it was Baoyu who was getting married to Miss Bao. She saw another version of herself.
He threw the handkerchief into the brazier and left there.
She knew that it was her. She finally understood why her sister was firmly opposed to her and Baoyu from the beginning. It turned out that this was her own ending.
She suddenly woke up, feeling chilly from inside to outside. She sat up and raised her voice to call Xue Yan in.
"Girl, what's wrong?" Xue Yan came in, twisted the handkerchief and wiped Lin Daiyu's face, "But I'm having a nightmare."
"Nothing." Lin Daiyu calmed down and said, "Go find that square handkerchief and burn it."
Xue Yan was stunned for a moment, then responded. He threw the handkerchief Bao Erye asked Qingwen to send into the brazier in front of Lin Daiyu. She knew that the girl was a decisive person, and since it was burned, it would really be a disaster.
Once and for all.
After Lin Yutong found out, he was completely relieved. After talking about it for so many years, his heart finally settled down.
One sudden day, Lin Ruhai came back from the palace and told Lin Yutong: "You ask people to prepare sacrifices for my father to use in two days."
"Okay." After Lin Yutong agreed, he asked, "Who's in trouble?" He had to ask clearly whether this person was close or distant, and related to the specifications of the sacrifice.
"Wang Ziteng died suddenly on the way back to Beijing." Lin Ruhai took a sip of tea.
Lin Yutong was shocked. Wang Ziteng was actually dead. Then Jia Yuanchun's death was imminent. Lin Yutong responded with a calm expression on his face, but his heart was in turmoil.
She had never heard of Wang Ziteng serving as any military governor of the Beijing camp. In fact, this military governor was concurrently held by Wen Tianfang. She thought that Wang Ziteng's fate would change because of this, but it seemed that she was thinking simply.
Wang Ziteng was the only capable person in the family of Jia Shi Wang Xue Si. Now he disappeared so suddenly. It also cast a haze on the happy event that Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai had just decided.
When Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue learned about their brother's death, they immediately panicked. The family was supported by such a brother. What would they do in the future?
In addition to sadness, Wang Xifeng felt more panic and urgency. She smelled an approaching crisis from inside.
As expected, just after Wang Ziteng's funeral, everyone had not yet recovered. Suddenly someone came from the palace, bringing news that made everyone in the Jia family feel like the sky was falling.
It turns out that the empress of the palace, Jia Yuanchun, passed away! (. )
