Chapter 849 Tanchun sighs a heartless thief, Baoyu wants to try flowers
For Tanchun, in the current situation, instead of hoping to serve a good wife and asking her to find someone who is similar to him as soon as possible, it is better to risk death and survive. As long as he tries his best to delay it for one or two years, he will not be betrayed by his wife.
My dear concubine, if the cruel thief hasn't forgotten me until she's older or when they don't care about her, then everything will be easy.
Even if he forgets about himself, he can still ask his second sister-in-law, second sister, and sister Lin to help him make the decision. Then he may still have a good future. Tanchun breathed out: Of course then
It will be more difficult, but as long as Princess Lang is here, no one can underestimate me. With her own abilities, she will definitely be able to find a way to survive.
Daiyu was the most distinguished person among those who came to add makeup, and everyone surrounded her and flattered her, which made her very annoyed.
She wanted to hold hands with Tanchun and have a long talk, and she must not let Tanchun get discouraged.
My brother's eyes are so superb that he attracts everyone's attention no matter in Yangzhou or in the capital. I don't know how many rich ladies want to enter the Lin Mansion. From a close relationship, Daiyu also hopes to Tanchun to enter.
Naturally, I can be evenly matched with Sister Bao.
Xing Xiuyan arrived late. Her husband was going to take the scientific examination next year, and she had just given birth to a son. It was a very busy time and she couldn't get away. So as soon as she came in, she hurriedly apologized. When she looked up, she saw
Miaoyu, who was wearing normal makeup, was immediately dumbfounded.
Miaoyu pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Don't blame me for not telling you."
Xing Xiuyan was also a smart person. After thinking about it, she realized that it was because of the rebellion in the capital earlier that Miaoyu had to keep a low profile even if she wanted to get married, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "I don't mind. I just see you leaving."
Whirlpool, I am really happy for you."
Miaoyu smiled and said, "I know you are thinking of me in your heart."
Xing Xiuyan smiled and said: "Of course. You and I have a good relationship, and I won't be late to add makeup when the time comes."
Miaoyu smiled and said nothing.
Daiyu looked at Xichun who was talking to everyone, and quietly asked Sister Feng: "The fourth sister is already twelve years old, right? Has the second sister-in-law started to look after her?"
Sister Feng said sadly: "I think so, but I'm also afraid. What if that happens? After all, the fourth sister is young and cannot get married right away."
Daiyu sighed and said, "That's right, then we might as well wait another year or two." What Daiyu didn't say was: Lin Zhao quietly told her that after the matter of Concubine Xiande is over, it will be determined whether the Jia family is in trouble or good luck.
We have come to a conclusion. So if you plan everything, it will only take one or two years. Xichun will be thirteen or fourteen years old at most by then, which is not too late. There is still time to find a good family.
After Baoqin came out of the cabinet, Mrs. Wang could no longer restrain her anxious temper and hurriedly held the wedding of Baoyu and Xia Jingui.
The date chosen was a bit unusual, at the end of October.
When Yu heard about it, she and Lin Zhao sighed and said, "Second aunt... does she value the relationship between gold and jade, or does she underestimate the relationship between gold and jade? Why did she choose such a day?"
Lin Zhaodao: "Even though I valued it at first, after seeing your sister-in-law and Miss Qin's dowry, I started to look down upon it."
Daiyu frowned and said, "Miss Xia's dowry is not too small."
Lin Zhao glanced at Baochai and said with a smile: "What do you think, madam?"
Because Lin Zhao was the first-rank Jin Yiwei Zuodudu, Baochai's royal title was to be the first-rank wife.
If this were an important occasion, a fifth-grade "pleasant" like Mrs. Wang would have to pay tribute to Baochai.
Nowadays, Baochai is becoming more gentle, steady and polite, and he and Lin Zhao are in harmony. They can often understand each other's meaning with just one movement or look.
Hearing Lin Zhao's question, she smiled slightly: "My aunt may think it's less than she expected."
Daiyu said: "She didn't give much as a betrothal gift."
Baochai smiled coldly and said, "So what? I don't dislike Miss Xia's background, right?"
She was born into an imperial merchant, and only she could clearly understand the inconveniences caused by her background.
If she hadn't lived in the Jia Mansion, who in the capital would have thought highly of the Xue family?
Nowadays, she is a first-class wife, Mrs. Zhongqinbo. She has many royal titles in the capital. There are not many people who do not need to bow to her when they see her.
This made her more aware of the changes brought about by the status gap.
No wonder the Xia family wants to marry the Duke of Guo. Even if they have the name of the Osmanthus Xia family, they will probably get angry in the capital.
Daiyu curled her lips and said, "I'm afraid you already dislike it in your heart?"
Baochai smiled and said: "No matter what, the marriage is still done, isn't it? Of course I don't dislike it anymore."
Daiyu relieved the tightness in her chest, but still felt uncomfortable: "Miss Xia...does she regret it in her heart?"
"It's inexplicable. It's so good. What do people regret?" Lin Zhao smiled slightly: "I heard that the Xia family's master passed away early, and Miss Xia took charge of the family early, supporting the reputation of the Osmanthus Xia family. I'm afraid she not only has clever tricks and scheming, but also has a good temper.
It's not something that ordinary people can control. In my opinion, at least Baoyu can't control it! And this is exactly what Miss Xia is interested in."
"As long as you get hold of Baoyu and rely on your dowry, you can take control of the second house of Rongguo Mansion. Therefore, the excitement of Jia's family is still behind."
Baochai and Daiyu looked at each other and couldn't help but ignite their gossip.
…
However, on the day Baoyu and Jingui got married, all the sisters went to congratulate her, but Baochai was surrounded and did not go.
She was overjoyed to be pregnant and felt very unwell, so she entrusted Daiyu to send Aunt Rong over with gifts.
…
When Mrs. Wang saw that Baochai only sent a nanny to bring gifts, she was inevitably unhappy. She also heard from Daiyu that Baochai didn't come because she was feeling unwell.
, I’m not feeling well tonight, but I’m not feeling well today? Are you here to bring bad luck to our Baoyu?
Baoyu had already had a premonition about his marriage. After all, Mrs. Wang's intention was so obvious, who could not see it with a discerning eye?
He used to hate those women who talked about economic and official careers, so when he heard that Xia Jingui was a housekeeper and supported the reputation of the Guihua Xia family, he instinctively felt disgusted.
But in the letters he exchanged with Liu Xianglian and others, he changed his mind.
Both Liu Xianglian and Wei Ruolan have recently gone abroad to develop their careers.
Liu Xianglian went to Guihua City, and Wei Ruolan went to Ping'an Prefecture with the army.
This incident greatly touched Baoyu. He couldn't understand why Liu Xianglian and others did it even though they clearly didn't like these things.
So he wrote to ask them. Liu Xianglian, Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan and others were very close to him and knew that he was simple-minded, so they wrote to him seriously about all the sufferings they had experienced outside.
In view of Baoyu's character, they also wrote about the difficulty of survival for women in this world. For example, a woman whose reputation has been ruined has to practice the practice of the ancient Buddha, a woman with a widowed family has a miserable life, a childless widow is secretly sold by her clan, and she has no natal family.
A dependent woman is bullied in her husband's family and cannot make the decision; her husband is weak and has no rights as a woman, and is coerced and falsely accused and has to commit suicide to prove his innocence, etc. Finally, he writes: As a man, even if he cannot honor his ancestors, he must always have the ability to protect his wife and children.
, so that she would not be bullied by others in the future, sit on the mountain and live in poverty, and be miserable and helpless all her life.
After Baoyu read the letter from Liu Xianglian and others, he sat there for a long time. The faces of Jin Chuan who was thrown into the well because of him, Qingwen who was kicked out, Fang Guan and others flashed before his eyes one by one, and finally settled on the scene where Xia Jingui was sending her a message.
The look on his face when he was carrying his wallet.
Later, Baoyu recalled that he had tried to give Daiyu a nickname, but was scolded by Lin Zhao.
He finally realized that he was just the most ordinary dandy in the capital. Everything he wore was given by the Jia family. If he left the Jia family, he would be nothing.
Baoyu is smart. In the past, no one told him how tragic the consequences of his many actions were. Now, after carefully reading the letters from Liu Xianglian and others, Baoyu finally understood how ignorant he was at the time. Baoyu sighed, and every time he thought of it, he was smart.
At that time, Cousin Lin was so tolerant to him that he felt extremely ashamed of himself. After all, the longing in his youth was like a mirror, and there was no trace. His mother's vision was not wrong. Compared with the elegant and noble Lin Meiyu, the shrewd and worldly Osmanthus fragrans was more beautiful.
It suits him. Therefore, although Baoyu is still a playboy over the years, he has changed a lot. Baoyu is also satisfied with his marriage to Xia Jingui.
Therefore, now that they were getting married, Baoyu thought of using his own skills to get a gift for his future wife, so he asked Xiren to take out all the things she had collected for him. Xiren was full of reluctance and said:
"It's so good. Why does the second master need so many things?"
Baoyu glanced at her and said, "Take it if I ask you to. Why are you asking so many questions?"
Xiren's heart skipped a beat. Most of those things had been taken home by her. Where could she get so many things now?
