Mrs. Wang's thoughts are actually similar to those of most mothers of aristocratic families.
It is said that to marry a wife, you must marry a filial and sensible person who can share the worries of her husband's family.
But what is filial piety?
Although everyone has their own explanations, the most important thing is that there are three reasons for not having filial piety, and the greatest is not having offspring.
Being able to have children is the most important thing.
You see Baochai is rich and charming, but the girl from the Lin family is delicate and timid, and she doesn't seem to be a childbearer.
Therefore, in Mrs. Wang's eyes, if she really followed the old lady and Baoyu's ideas, it would not be impossible to take the Lin family's fox girl into the house as a concubine.
But how can a precious girl be as dignified as a real wife? What's more, the father and son of the Lin family are also crazy. They gave all the huge amounts of money they earned to the emperor and the treasury. How much can they have left? I'm afraid they don't even have their own private treasury.
many.
Those diamond jewelry that are given away indiscriminately are just polished with a bunch of small stones, aren't they?
At most, he could fool an ignorant woman, but how could he fool the well-informed Jia and Wang family?
So in comparison, the Xue family is still decent.
After all, he still has a fortune of millions.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang strengthened her thoughts. Even though Jia Mu's eyes were like nails on him, Mrs. Wang lowered her eyebrows and accepted it without saying a word, which made Jia Mu unable to say anything else.
But Mrs. Wang also has someone to rely on.
Because on the sixteenth day of every month, the concubines in the palace can meet their family members outside the palace.
So on this day, when Mrs. Wang entered the palace to pay her respects according to the rules, she told Concubine Yuan what she thought:
"...I thought, although Bao Yatou was born in a merchant family and is not worthy of our Jia family, after all, she marries a good wife. This Bao Yatou is really a very stable and good child. She is calm and peaceful. She always advises Baoyu to study and make progress.
, never joins in the fun, I really like her in my heart."
"But the empress also knows that the old lady dislikes Bao Yatou for her low background. She originally liked Lin Yatou very much. Later, when she saw that the Lin family refused to accept the matter, she found Miss Shi again. I don't dare to compete with the old lady.
, I just wanted to take a look and see if that girl is good, that’s all. After all, she is valued by the old lady."
"But this girl Yun has been staying in our house for a few years, and I have looked at it carefully. It stands to reason that this girl Yun is also a good girl, and her two uncles are both marquises. However, some time ago, she proposed a marriage with the Wei family, which caused a storm in the city.
, it was said that she cheated on Mr. Kefu after she got married. Although it was just a rumor, I was a little bit offended. Moreover, she acted carelessly, had no rules, and loved to play with Baoyu. How could she be a good wife and loving mother?
"I thought that Baoyu was still young anyway, so it wouldn't be easy to wait a little longer. But Baoyu was so old that I really couldn't wait. My predecessor, Aunt Xue, also said that I wanted to give Baoyu a visit. I was reluctant to give up, so I came here.
Just to please the empress."
Concubine Yuan sighed, if Aunt Xue really wanted Baochai to marry Baoyu, she would probably have to wait patiently for two years.
If she were to tell Baochai to visit her now, I'm afraid she might have other ideas in mind.
It's a pity that my mother was so obsessed with the Jia family's wealth that she didn't care at all.
In fact, with Concubine Yuan's knowledge and experience in the palace for so many years, she has some understanding of the overall situation of the court.
When she thought about it, if Baoyu wanted to marry a wife, it would be Daiyu of course.
This cousin of the Lin family is the head of Lang County!
It was conferred by the current emperor himself.
It shows how much the Lin family is valued by the emperor.
The father of Lord Lin is the governor of Shandong of the second rank, who will definitely join the cabinet in the future. His elder brother is Viscount Zhongxiao, a highly powerful leader of the Jinyi Guards of the third rank.
With such a high status as her father and brother, Lin Yatou also has a title, and belongs to a proper noble family.
If it weren't for his young age and the Lin family's uncle was also in Shandong, I would be afraid that the meritorious family and civil and military ministers seeking marriage would cross the threshold of the Lin family.
If Baoyu favors her, it will be a great blessing. Just sitting at home, she can have the official position of a fourth-grade military attache. With her family and the Lin family's connections, what status can't be promoted? Just wait and enjoy the blessings in the future.
At that time, I am afraid that the future of Rongguo Mansion will be carried forward by Baoyu.
However, my mother was short-sighted, and because of her quarrel with the Lin family's aunt, she disliked the Lin family girl in every possible way.
But then again, it actually doesn’t matter.
After all, Baoyu is also the direct grandson of Duke Rong. Even if he has no official position and is dressed in white, he will not suffer in the future.
But when it comes to Baochai...
Not to mention what my aunt's attitude is now.
Concubine Yuan also met that girl when she was visiting for marriage.
No matter in terms of appearance or talent, she is the best choice. She is indeed a rare and good girl.
Thinking of this, Concubine Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "Yi Ren, what the old lady said is right. Bao Yatou's background is too low, and her brother is indeed not a good one. He will not be able to help Bao Yu in the future. But since
My mother loves her dearly, so I might as well have a good talk with my aunt. I think Baochai can still wait for two or three years."
She paused, after all, she didn't want her mother to hang herself from a tree.
If Aunt Xue likes a young man from a certain family, is it possible for her mother to sacrifice her face to get him back?
She thought for a while and then said slowly: "But speaking of it, mother should be nicer to Sister Shi. She is younger than Baoyu. It is inevitable to be ignorant. It would be better if she is older. Besides, the Shi family is the elder of our family.
Kiss, another double noble family, sister Shi's master must not be lowered in the future. Even if she is a little poorer now, the twists and turns in the officialdom are beyond what the Xue family can compare with. We can't do anything ugly.
, first of all, it chills people’s hearts.”
"Besides, the old lady is old, and the mother should be more filial to her. No matter what the old lady does, she is only for Baoyu. Even if she has some concerns, it is also for the betterment of Baoyu in the future. There is no need for mother to have anything to do with the old lady.
dispute."
"And having said that, in the capital of our Zhou Dynasty, there are many officials and nobles, and the girls from each family are all noble, with many talents, looks, and good character. How can our family be the only one? Speaking of this imperial concubine's marriage, the whole family
There are almost a dozen families in the capital, and you are still worried about missing a good girl? Mother is also relieved, if it continues like this in the future, there will always be a time when she can make the decision."
Mrs. Wang was startled and felt greatly relieved. She felt that the empress was worthy of being born in her own womb. She was not only considerate, but also able to help her resolve her worries. She was truly a person with a commanding position.
There are so many good girls all over the capital, why bother hanging on to these three girls?
Although Baochai was good, his background was too low. He was just an imperial merchant, and there were seventeen or eighteen merchants all over the capital.
For example, Osmanthus Xia Family, Jinyi He Family...
Bah bah bah.
Why are you just thinking about these people?
He must have been with his sister for so long that his mind is filled with thoughts of those imperial merchant families.
Baoyu is the direct grandson of Duke Rongguo and the younger brother of the imperial concubine. Even though he is unemployed and has no job, he can still walk around the capital.
In comparison, Baochai is really on a high level.
No wonder she behaved so steadily and loved in the Grand View Garden. It may not be her true nature.
With such a valuable character and status as our Baoyu, I had no choice but to choose someone from an imperial merchant background.
Let's coax her sister with words, and after choosing a suitable girl for Baoyu, we can choose a good husband for Baochai.
She will not disgrace her as the lintel of the Xue family.
Mrs. Wang thought so in her heart, and a smile appeared on her face.
