A close look at the Red House

Chapter 64

Jia Baoyu always said, "Daughters are made of water, and men are made of mud." ’ or ‘My daughter is a pearl before she gets married, but she has dead fish eyes after she gets married’.But why doesn't he think about it, who doesn't want to be a pearl all the time.And who made the pearls turn into dead fish eyes.If a man has the responsibility, why would a woman give up pearls for fish eyes?

When I saw the Red Mansion at the beginning of the year, I always felt that this Xia Jingui was too domineering, and the house that was disturbed every day was restless.But now he felt that Xia Jingui was just a poor person.It is said that she is the grandmother of the Xue family, but she married from the side door of Jia's mansion to the side courtyard of Jia's mansion.It is said that it is Xue's family, a royal merchant, but they live in Jia's mansion.Only after she got married, did she know that there was a concubine in her husband's room who had formally served opera wine, and this concubine was not only gentle and obedient, but also beautiful as a flower.Why not make people feel a sense of crisis.My sister-in-law, who is a few years older than myself, not only manages the house, but also directs every day.

All these things add up, and instead of perishing in silence, they erupt in silence.It is the nature of wind and thunder, so how can it be gentle and drizzle.Yingchun's resignation, and Xia Jingui's laughter and cursing, are nothing but the last impatience for survival.

On the second day of Xue Pan's marriage, Daiyu sat beside Jia Mu, looking at Xia Jingui who followed Aunt Xue to pay her respects.A new wife's bright red dress made her look more delicate than a flower.She doesn't act like a weak girl in a boudoir, but has the quickness and vigor of Sister Feng.Maybe at this time there is still the shyness and gentleness of the new daughter-in-law, so the whole person looks very pitiful and cute.

Thinking that in the near future, the Xue family will enter the noisy life like a 'stock trading hall'.Daiyu smiled wickedly in her heart.

Dear 'Sister Bao', take out your solemn law of God's love for the world to pk a generation of shrew ultimates.I support you mentally!

Daiyu lived in Jia's house for several months one after another, and finally returned to Lin's residence a few years ago.Because of Lin Yu's reasons, the Lin family's life this year was also very uneventful.

When she was bored, Daiyu would always send Zijuan to Jia's mansion to deliver some snacks, please have a good time.Every time Zijuan came back from that mansion, Daiyu could hear some stories about Jia's and Xue's families.Life is also more interesting.

During the Chinese New Year, both Daiyu and Lin Yu enjoyed a handful of frozen dishes from the palace as people of high rank and title.After they came out of the palace, the siblings felt very close to each other.Fortunately, this kind of thing happens several times a year, otherwise I really can't stand it.

Not to mention anything else, this scene really tests people's reaction and IQ.Although the ranks and titles of the Lin family brothers and sisters can be passed sideways in the Jia family, when it comes to the big banquet in the palace, they are almost the last to sit with respect.From a long distance, neither the expression of the emperor nor the empress could be heard clearly.You can only watch others laugh and laugh with you.Others nod, and then nod.But in the end why he smiled and why he nodded was really unclear.This kind of banquet is not like a grand court meeting.When the emperor said a word, eunuchs teamed up to spread the word over and over again.well!Really hard.

Just after the New Year's Eve, people heard that the lady Jia Xiande in the palace was ill.Having said that, this surname is Jia, also known as Concubine Xiande.Together they are called 'Jia Xiande'.It can be seen that the person named this in the palace is really wicked.You can scold people so well.

Jia's family went to the palace to visit their patients, so naturally they talked about Baoyu's marriage.Mrs. Wang prefers Xue Baochai, but Jia's mother asks Jia Yuanchun to choose a girl of the right age in the high family compound to marry Baoyu.

Jia Yuanchun was very embarrassed, but she also knew it.With Baoyu's background, even with the addition of talent and character, it is really impossible to connect with the real masters.It is said that Baoyu was born with Hanyu, and he will have great achievements in the future, but Yuan Chun privately thinks that jade is just a means that Mrs. Wang specially made to suppress the big house.Otherwise, why have Baoyu not seen anything unusual for so many years.

Speaking of this, I have to say that Daiyu had let people release the rumors before.For many years, in the harem, being mentioned by the concubine at every turn, Jia Yuanchun really believed it.No wonder it is said that 'people's words are awesome', and the false is said to be true, and the true is also passed on as false.

Jia Yuanchun also knew what Mrs. Wang meant.His mother fell in love with Baochai of his second aunt's cousin Xue's family.But the Xue family's status is really too low.How can I say that I am also an imperial concubine, but my younger brother wants to marry a merchant girl.From now on, those who go to the harem must not be laughed at.This is absolutely impossible.

The grandma wants a wealthy family, and the mother wants a business girl.This is not acceptable to Jia Yuanchun.It's just that there is a mother on one side and a grandmother on the other.He could neither directly refuse nor affirmatively approve. Fortunately, this time he was visiting the palace.This topic can be shelved.

well!As for Baoyu's marriage, I really have to take care of it.It is said that "get married and start a business", maybe marrying Baoyu a virtuous daughter-in-law can help Baoyu start a business.

After returning home that day, Mrs. Wang talked to Aunt Xue about Jia Mu's decision.Aunt Xue has had a hard time recently.Xia Jingui was finally completely disappointed with the Xue family, and stopped pretending to be virtuous, and directly exposed her hidden fangs, spitting at the Xue family together.The Xue family was exposed to wind and rain day and night, especially Xue Baochai.Although Xia Jingui can be suppressed for a while, she must be an older unmarried girl, and she can't compare with the eldest sister-in-law who has the spirit of "Song Tai Zu destroys Southern Tang".

For a while, after you sing, I will appear on the stage.It's not that Xue Baochai is willing to fight against Xia Jingui, but if you don't say anything, she will become even more arrogant.If you want to suppress it, she will yell and scold you, and she will not let people stop for a while.

When Daiyu knew it, she could only describe it with a sentence she saw in her previous life. "Daughters are made of water, men are made of mud. Female men are made of cement. Shrews are made of reinforced concrete with glass." The predecessors sincerely did not deceive me.

Because of Xia Jingui's accusations and scolding Huai from time to time, and the fact that the Jia family's marriage has not been settled, Aunt Xue, who is eager to love her daughter, finally made up her mind to come to the house with the IOU to force the marriage.Either give money, or take Jia Baoyu to pay off the debt, or go to the Yamen to talk.With money but without money, the embarrassing ones, except for the second wife of Jia's family, is the imperial concubine.Let's see.

You said that the Xue family is not afraid of embarrassment?Hmph, Aunt Xue sneered in her heart, at this time, is there anyone else in the Xue family who can be lost?

Looking at Aunt Xue holding the IOU, Mrs. Wang was dumbfounded.The last few times she entered the palace, her eldest daughter had told her.If Baoyu married Xue Baochai, she would feel ashamed in the palace.Baoyu will become an official in the court in the future, and the Xue family will not be able to help him at all.In the court and harem, all officials and officials are in contact with each other.If she really married the Xue family, not to mention how she was in the palace, even Baoyu would lose the support of his wife and family.So why not seek a girl with a better background for Baoyu.

Mrs. Wang was unwilling to do what the old lady wanted and hired Shi Xiangyun as her daughter-in-law.After hearing Yuan Chun's words now, I regretted it a bit.But it is useless to regret it any more, and it is impossible for Shi Xiangyun to marry Baoyu again.

Therefore, when Mrs. Wang said this idea, Jia Yuanchun rolled his eyes speechlessly.Is there no one else but Shi Xiangyun?Our Jia family and the Shi family can be regarded as old relatives, even if we don't get married, there is no major hindrance.Now we should get out of the four major families and develop outward, okay?

Seeing the unreliability of his mother and grandmother, Jia Yuanchun took over the matter of finding a wife for Baoyu.

Who would have thought that this side has not been settled yet, and the Xue family has quit.Mrs. Wang could only comfort her in a hurry, but Aunt Xue was so determined that she couldn't comfort her no matter what she did.I had to go to find Jiamu.Jia Mu knew that the situation was over, so she drove people out angrily, and closed the door to disappear.Mrs. Wang had no choice but to go to the palace to find Yuanchun, and Jia Yuanchun, who knew about this in the palace, was also stupid.

When Jia Yuanchun was about to accept his fate, Mrs. Wang wondered if Xue Pan's case could be brought out.

"No, don't mention this matter."After hearing Mrs. Wang's thoughts, Jia Yuanchun hurriedly interrupted.If this matter breaks out, Xue's family is certainly not good, but Jia's family will also be implicated.

"Then madam, what should I do about this matter?" Mrs. Wang completely lost her attention.In the past, because of Shi Xiangyun's comparison, Mrs. Wang really liked Xue Baochai somewhat.But now that Shi Xiangyun has left, and her eldest daughter is very dissatisfied with Xue Baochai, Mrs. Wang's heart for Xue Baochai has gradually faded.

To be honest, Jia Yuanchun only met Xue Baochai once when he was visiting relatives, but before, every time his mother entered the palace, she would emphasize how polite and sensible Xue's cousin was.And compared to the girl from the historian.In the long run, I still prefer Xue Baochai in my heart.Therefore, when there was a Dragon Boat Festival reward ceremony, the reward was given back according to Baoyu's example.But that doesn't mean that I like having a sister-in-law who is a businessman.

There are big banquets and small banquets in the palace, and other high-ranking concubines can always see their natal family.Except for the old lady who has the status to participate in this kind of banquet, no one else in the Jia family is qualified.But the old lady is so old that she almost doesn't go out.So this made Jia Yuanchun, who already felt weak, feel that there was no help from inside and outside the palace.I always look forward to Baoyu's early success in the examination, or to marry a daughter from a family.

But now, the Xue family is imminent.Their second room, first room, and Ning's house are not in harmony with each other.Although it is impossible to write two Jia Lai with one stroke, but this kind of matter that has nothing to do with the survival of the family, uncle and brother Zhen will not take action.

Historians don't care, maybe just watching the excitement.The Wang family is also the natal family of myself and the Xue family, so the two naturally do not help each other, not to mention that the uncle of the Wang family is not in the capital yet.Even if he wanted to help himself, it was beyond his reach.

Only then did I realize that the Jia family was really at the end, especially the second room where the family was separated.Even with her own concubine, she is powerless in many things.The other, because of the problem of face, is also a bit of a mouse-hunter.

well!Neither can the matter of Xue Pan be disclosed, nor can Yousi be allowed to intervene and intimidate.This sister-in-law can only marry back first.

Jia Yuanchun, who had made up his mind, said to his mother, Mrs. Wang: "Mom, at this point, we can only hire cousin Xue's family back first, and then we can talk about the future."

"Hired back? This..." Mrs. Wang was a little suspicious and didn't understand.Didn't you say you were not allowed to marry?Why do you want to marry back again?Is there really no other way?

"Mother, don't worry about getting angry. The Xue family lives in our house, and you don't have to go all over the street to get married. It's just from the West House to the East House. Nowadays, frugality is advocated, and it's okay to invite only old relatives for the wedding. That's all. As for what happens after you get married, well, that's our Jia family's own business." Jia Yuanchun said quite meaningfully.

As expected of mother and daughter, Mrs. Wang understood Jia Yuanchun's bad intentions as soon as she rolled her eyes.
