But she said that her aunt was undecided and immediately wrote a letter to Wang Ziteng who was far away at the border after sending Xue Baochai away, asking him to give her an idea.
After all, this is a major matter related to the family. If the daughter is sacrificed, but the long-term prosperity of the family cannot be guaranteed, then it is better to let the daughter marry an ordinary person safely.
Besides, Wang Xifeng came out of Jia Mu's place and returned to her small yard. Ping'er came to greet her from the side and said to their master: "Grandma, you are back. Why did you go so long this time? There are several people there now."
A manager is waiting for you."
"If you have something to do, if you don't go to Qingxu Temple in a few days, let them go and let them go back first. Just say that I don't have time and let them come back when they get back from Qingxu Temple." Wang Xifeng said impatiently,
She saw what happened today very seriously. It seemed that Xue Baochai wanted to climb high.
Seeing Wang Xifeng's impatient look, Ping'er hurried out and dismissed the housekeepers.
When Ping'er came back again, he sat next to Wang Xifeng, rubbed her shoulders and asked, "What's bothering grandma? I was fine when I left just now. Could it be that the old lady gave you a hard time."
"That's not true. They just arranged something to offend me. I was wondering whether I should do it or not." Wang Xifeng said absentmindedly as she sat there enjoying Ping'er's service.
"If it's not something urgent, then grandma, please tell me, and I'll take care of the details for grandma."
"I told you not to spread the word, otherwise something will really happen." Wang Xifeng now also needs someone to advise her. She is relieved about Ping'er's loyalty, so she is ready to tell her.
"Grandma, don't worry, can I still tell the truth?" Ping'er answered Wang Xifeng while rubbing her shoulders.
Wang Xifeng leaned on Ping'er, closed her eyes and said helplessly: "Today I saw the uncle and Baochai flirting with each other at the old lady's place. I think they have met each other's eyes."
"And this matter, if they really fall in love, can Aunt Xue agree? After all, the uncle has a wife, and he will be a concubine after this." Ping'er couldn't believe it.
A person as arrogant as Xue Baochai actually considered being a concubine for others.
Wang Xifeng looked down on Ping'er's short-sightedness, "What's wrong with being a concubine? You have to look at who you are to be a concubine. To be disrespectful, isn't our lady also a concubine for the emperor?"
Ping'er was stunned by Wang Xifeng's words, and looked at Wang Xifeng in disbelief with her mouth wide open. You must know that Wang Xifeng used to hate people who were concubines the most.
"Grandma, you can't say this. What if someone hears it?" Ping'er was frightened by Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? There are only two of us here, and we are afraid that you will say it out? Besides, if you say it out, who dares to do anything to our family now?"
Seeing that Wang Xifeng was becoming more and more outrageous, Ping'er quickly changed the subject, fearing that she would talk about the emperor and the empress again.
"Then what does the old lady mean? Do you agree?"
"Who is the old lady? As soon as Baochai moved, the old lady knew what she meant. She doesn't want me to send a message to her outside. Let Baochai stay calm during this period and don't cause any trouble.
." Wang Xifeng was a little helpless.
"What grandma means is whether to do it or not." Ping'er was also worried about Wang Xifeng now.
"Do it, why not do it? Anyway, this matter is what the old lady wanted, and in the end I won't be blamed. But I don't think it's of any use."
"Why? Do you dare to go against the old lady's wishes?"
"Why don't you dare? The old lady didn't say it clearly. Besides, there is Xue Baochai watching over there. Once this woman becomes interested in a man, how long can that man hold on? I think this matter will really matter in the end.
Baochai made it happen." Wang Xifeng sounded a little envious. In fact, she was not very satisfied with his marriage?
Wang Xifeng heard that she was going to be engaged to Jia Ke back then, but because the old lady forcibly made the decision and assigned Qin Keqing to Jia Ke, this ended today. Otherwise, she would now be the mistress of the Wuyang Hou Mansion next to her.
Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but feel a little sad, it was really a twist of fate.
Ping'er noticed Wang Xifeng's thoughts from the side. Their master and servant had been together since childhood, and Ping'er also knew what happened back then.
So Ping'er quickly changed the subject, "Master, the people from the Zhang Shun family who are in charge of carriages and horses came here just now to report that they want some money to paint the carriage again so that people can look happy when they go out."
As expected, Wang Xifeng changed the subject. When she heard this, she became angry, "Is this bastard bitch bullying me for being a fool? I'm going to go out in a few days, and she's just checking the car now?"
In fact, Ping'er already knew the fishiness in it, it was just the housekeepers who wanted to get some benefits from it.
"Master, don't be angry. Isn't this a common thing? In short, if you beat her for a while, she will calm down."
Who knew that Wang Xifeng's temper was raging right now, so she had no time to talk nonsense with a housekeeper, "I don't have time to educate her today. You have to send someone out to beat her for 30 yuan, and then let her come to see me."
After hearing this, Ping'er frowned and said, "Master, these people have been in families for several generations, so they still have to be given some face."
"What nonsense are you talking about? There are so many people who want to be housekeepers now, and even Aunt Lai is gone, let alone them. Go and tell them that if they are not honest again in the future, Aunt Lai will be their role model."
Ping'er didn't say anything, nodded, and went out to deliver the message.
After a while, the sound of crying for father and mother came from the yard, and then Ping'er came in from the outhouse.
"Master, it's been done."
Wang Xifeng listened to the sounds outside and slowly closed her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
Within a few days, news came out from the Jia Mansion that Xue Baochai and Jia Ke were flirting with each other. This incident reached Qin Keqing's ears at the speed of light.
After Qin Keqing heard the news, her eyes became a little dark. To be honest, she was very satisfied with the current Jia Ke.
The three concubines around Jia Ge were all commissioned from the maids who had followed Jia Ke for many years, and none of them had any status. In Qin Keqing's eyes, they were completely unworthy. Even if they gave birth to sons, they did not pose any threat to him.
But Xue Baochai was different. If Xue Baochai wanted to marry, a good concubine would be indispensable. The children born to Xue Baochai might even compete with her Jia Zhi for the position of heir to Wuyang Hou Mansion.
Although Qin Keqing was extremely reluctant, she was not the one who had the final say in this matter, so instead of being angry, Qin Keqing served Jia Ke even more carefully in the past two days.
This made Jia Ke, who had never cared about these things at home, feel that Qin Keqing was really gentle and gentle to him in the past two days, so he also enjoyed it. Jia Ke had not heard of these gossips, but he did not
Keeping it in mind, Jia Ke now sees women as just decoration.
These gossips soon reached the ears of Aunt Xue in Lixiangyuan, making Aunt Xue so angry that she could not eat for several days.
When Xue Baochai in the Grand View Garden heard the news, he was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, he was a little disdainful.
In the eyes of others, this is a huge misfortune for the village, but in the eyes of Xue Baochai, who is interested in Jia Ke, this incident comes at the right time. And those behind the scenes would not have thought of this incident, and may even contribute to it.
My marriage to Jia Ke.
Xue Baochai thought that if she handled this matter by herself, she would let it calm down quietly instead of making such a big fanfare. Isn't this a confirmation of the relationship between Jia Ke and herself? I'm afraid Jia Ke will have to marry him in the future
I passed the door on my own.
Xue Baochai then had another thought in her mind. I'm afraid this was Jia Mu's intention. This was both a warning and a promise to herself.
This is to keep yourself at peace and not to make others look uncomfortable if something happens.
So Xue Baochai never left Hengwuyuan again after these rumors spread.
On this day, when Xue Pan returned home, he was beaten and beaten as soon as he entered the door. He kicked a little maid who opened the door for him to the ground.
Aunt Xue saw him like this, but he scolded: "You evildoer. Who has offended you again this time? You were beaten and beaten like this as soon as you got home. Do you want me to apologize to you?"
Although Xue Pan was lawless, he was actually a filial child. When he saw Aunt Xue getting angry, he hurried over to stay with those aunts.
"Mother, I was wrong this time, but I didn't mean it. You don't know what happened to what people outside said." Although Xue Pan was accompanying him, there was still a lot of dissatisfaction in his tone.
.
"Who provoked you again?" the aunt asked helplessly. There was nothing she could do about this precious son.
"Who else could it be? Isn't it your precious daughter? She did something inappropriate, and now the news is spreading everywhere. Even when I go out to drink with friends, people are laughing at me about it." Xue Pan finished.
When he said this, his eyes were as wide as bells, and he seemed to be anxious about this matter.
Aunt Xue felt a little embarrassed when she heard what Xue Pan said, but this was related to Xue Baochai's reputation, so she asked anxiously: "What do people say outside? Tell mom about it."
When Xue Pan heard his mother ask, he immediately got angry, "What else can I say? Doesn't it mean that our Baochai wants to be Jia Ke's concubine? Anyway, it's much more ugly than that. I don't want to say it.
I'm sorry to teach you."
Aunt Xue felt angry at first when she heard this. She didn't expect that she hadn't taken any action yet, so the rumors spread everywhere. Who was this thunderbolt that spread this rumor?
If the matter between Baochai and Jia Ke doesn't work out, what will Baochai do with her family in the future?
Aunt Xue thought for a while and thought that the only people who knew about this matter were probably the few people who were in Jia Mu's room at that time.
It's impossible for Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. If these two people can't come up with such a dirty idea, then only Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng are left.
