Xiren's brother was called Hua Zifang, and he was originally from a poor family. However, after Xiren became Baoyu's maid, he gave him good things every now and then. As a result, Hua Zifang's family became rich within two or three years.
Now that Baoyu is looking for something, Xiren naturally can't take it out, because most of those things have been taken home by her. Where can she get so many things now? So she said angrily: "It's getting so late, the second master is like this
Can't you wait for a while? Even if the second master refuses to take care of himself, he still loves us. Everyone has cleaned up. Now the second master wants to rummage through the boxes. Is it because he deliberately prevents us from relaxing? Look for it, second master
I will go find it myself. If not, please wait until tomorrow."
Baoyu looked at the attacker intently for a long time, nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, I will definitely see something tomorrow." After saying that, he opened the curtain and went out.
Xiren felt guilty and anxious. Where could he get such good things tomorrow? After thinking about it for half the night, Xiren decided to be bold and forget about it tomorrow. If he mentioned it again, he would pretend to be annoyed.
If you try to fool him by taking it home, as long as the second master has himself in mind, he will never mention it again.
Although Baoyu is not familiar with the world, he is not a fool after all. How can he not know the tricks of attacking people?
I sighed in my heart and stood among the flowers for half a day. After thinking for a long time, I let out a long sigh and returned to my study. I took out the gold and silver nuggets that I had ordered Mingyan to collect and found Sister Feng.
This money was originally prepared for Xichun, but she was here alone and helpless. She didn't even have enough paint for painting on weekdays, and her ex-child didn't even have food to eat. The second sister-in-law always sent her to the forest to make her suffer.
He wanted to go to his sister, so he secretly prepared so much money, but who knew it would come in handy at this time.
He wanted to prepare some gifts for his future wife, so he had to ask Sister Feng to find a way.
After hearing what Baoyu said, Sister Feng sighed to Baoyu: "You are smart, why do you pretend to be confused because you understand?"
Baoyu sighed: "I always think about our childhood friendship and can't bear to criticize her more."
Sister Feng said: "How can they understand your painstaking efforts? Besides, Miss Xia will come in in a few days. Sooner or later, these things will be revealed to my wife. What will you do then?"
Baoyu cried and said: "Let's talk about it later. I can protect them for a while. Since Miss Xia can support a family business, she must be compassionate. Even after these things have come out, I think about the past relationship between them and me."
With affection, I will not embarrass them too much, and I can persuade the wife, and maybe let them go out well."
After listening to Baoyu's words, Sister Feng sighed, took Baoyu's money, and helped him find the girl's gift.
After Baoyu returned, he didn't say anything more and went straight back to rest.
When Xiren saw that he never mentioned the money, he was really relieved, but also felt a little uneasy. These uneasiness became even greater after seeing Baoyu ignore him: although he had been longing for a new wife in his heart
Get in as soon as possible so that you can correct your status as soon as possible. But, doesn’t Baoyu dislike girls who specialize in economics? Whether he heard Miss Bao or Miss Yun say these words, they both looked impatient. Why?
, why are you taking care of the gifts so carefully now? I heard that the new lady is from a good background, has a good appearance, and her ability to manage the family and business is also extraordinary. Even ten of me can't match her.
If, if Baoyu really fell in love with her, what would he do? Xiren became flustered and acted awkwardly. Baoyu ignored her when he saw her, and didn't even ask. Xiren saw this.
There was another burst of sadness: How could he have neglected him like this in the past? He would always ask for help, and even if a hair fell out, he would feel distressed for a long time. But now? He feels so uncomfortable, and he doesn't come to say hello. Sure enough, this
In this world, men are the first to love the new and hate the old, and the most ruthless. Thinking of this, he started crying and lay down on the bed so angry.
She Yue, Qiu Wen, and Bi Yue knew the whole story. They had unclean moments in the past, so they were a little uneasy these days. Just seeing Xi Ren being neglected by Bao Yu, they couldn't help but feel a little gloating about his misfortune.
It turns out that this young lady from the Xia family is just seventeen years old this year. She is quite pretty and knows a few words. In terms of the Qiuhe latitude and longitude in her heart, she has followed in the footsteps of Xifeng.
Xia Jingui has long been eyeing Baoyu.
Although Xia Jingui's "Osmanthus Xia Family" is well-known, he is still a businessman and cannot compare with the real wealthy family. Therefore, Xia Jingui is determined to climb a high branch and add a wealthy and high-status son, so that he can carry forward the Xia family.
She set her target on Baoyu and had been observing and analyzing it for a long time.
Although Baoyu has a sister who is a concubine and is also a wealthy son of the Rongguo Mansion, in fact, because his father is only a fifth-rank official, Baoyu himself is not motivated in school, so he is essentially a white man.
Moreover, it is said that he is not familiar with worldly affairs and only hangs out in the inner circle. Many of his erotic poems are also circulated in the public, so his reputation is not very high.
As for the Rongguo Mansion's propaganda about "being born with a jade in his mouth" and "having great fortune", Xia Jingui doesn't care about even half of it.
She just wanted to get pregnant as soon as possible, give birth to a son, teach him to study and make progress, and be able to manage the Xia family's business.
This idea came to her at the wedding of her best friend who married an official's son, and now it has become deeply ingrained.
Why she looks down on the children of merchants is not because they are not as good as the children of aristocratic families like Baoyu. Although they are white, their family connections cannot be underestimated: for example, among the relatives of the Jia family are the Lin family, the Shi family, and the Wang family.
, there are also many high-ranking officials such as the Four Kings and Eight Dukes who come and go frequently. With these connections, one can easily get twice the result with half the effort, which is not what ordinary merchants can ask for.
Therefore, although the method of relying on her son is a bit tortuous, as long as she has connections like the Jia family, it will be very easy for her son to be promoted to an official position in the future. By then, she will be able to do it whether his son is studying, progressing, or doing business.
, and will not be hindered by the low status of the merchant, and everything can be realized.
Because of this, after Jinyu's wedding, Xia Jingui didn't persuade Baoyu deeply. As long as he didn't go too far, he just let him go. Instead, he just used different methods to win over Baoyu and make him gradually leave Xiren, Sheyue, Qiuwen.
, Biyue and other old people were replaced by Baochan and other own people.
As for Xiren, the eldest maid and aunt-to-be, Xia Jingui doesn't plan to move for the time being. He has to lend her hand to deal with She Yue, Qiu Wen, and Bi Yue first before he can deal with her, right? Otherwise, he has to wait for himself
Having established a firm foothold, he dealt with them all. With Xia Jingui's methods, it was easy to find an excuse for them, and it was also easy to get rid of them.
Baoyu was originally a flower lover, so at first she flattered Baoyu. She also read a lot of poems and books, and she was able to talk to Baoyu very well.
If you're kind to me, I'll let him have his way in everything.
When Xia Jingui saw this scene, he also tried to keep up with each other step by step. At the beginning, the two people's spirits were equal. After a month, he felt that Jia Baoyu's spirit gradually became lower. One day, Baoyu and Baoyu
After several friends drank, they didn't know what to do, so they discussed it with Jin Gui first, but Jin Gui refused to do it.
Baoyu didn't do anything. He just said a few harsh words when he was drunk. Jingui cried angrily as if he were drunk. He couldn't drink tea and pretended to be sick. He asked a doctor for treatment. The doctor said, "Qi and blood are inversely related."
, it should be a medicine for widening your chest and smoothing your breath." Mrs. Wang scolded Baoyu with a frown, and said: "In the past, when we were not married, I looked at you as gentle, but I didn't know that being married would be such a big deal.
I'm bullying my wife. She's like a phoenix egg. She raised a daughter with great difficulty. She's lighter than a flower. I married you because I thought you had great fortune. Don't you say that you should be at ease and keep your own rules, and be single-minded and harmonious?
You live a harmonious life, but you are so shameless. Spending money and taking medicine now is in vain." Baoyu regretted what he said, and quickly used his usual method to comfort Jingui with nice words.
Seeing her mother-in-law talking about her husband like this, Jin Gui became more and more satisfied, so she pretended to be a little nervous and ignored Baoyu. Baoyu had no idea and just complained about herself. After ten days and a half, Jin Gui gradually changed Jin Gui's heart.
, I have been twice as careful since then, and my spirit has inevitably dropped by half.
Seeing that Baoyu had softened, Jin Gui smiled coldly in his heart.
But she was scheming after all, knowing that Mrs. Wang was the real owner of the second house. If she wanted to gain a firm foothold in Rongguo Mansion, she still had to fight with Mrs. Wang.
But she is a fifth-grade "Yi Ren" and she is also the mother of a noble concubine, so we cannot easily confront each other and must consider the long term.
