The Rose of the Red Chamber

Chapter 168

Baochai is well-versed in the world, and knows that some people can ask questions, and some people can't. Regarding Tanchun's current background, Baochai feels that even if she asked, the reason probably wouldn't have come to her mind.And no matter what the process is, the result is the most important.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.Everyone wants to live well, it's human nature.

It is normal for some people to have the ability not to recognize others.

She doesn't need to know anything else, as long as she knows that the current person has absolutely nothing to do with her good aunt.

No one else knew how my aunt planned her family back then, but she knew it best.If it weren't for the girl in front of her being 'quick' for a while, her Xue family probably wouldn't be where they are today.

She came to Tanchun today, but she really wanted to ask her something.It's not that she can't ask others this question, but she always has some doubts in her heart.

"Sister Bao nodded and shook her head again, what are you doing?" Tanchun laughed and teased the girl in front of her.

For the questions she could ask, Tanchun had already thought of the 'reason' in his mind, and he was ready at this time.

Seeing Tanchun like this, Baochai shook her head and smiled lightly, "I saw Baoyu at home a while ago, and Baoyu said that he went back to the capital with you. Where is Auntie?"

Tanchun didn't expect Baochai to ask this question, and was a little surprised, "Second wife, I asked my father and mother to help. After receiving my news, my parents have already sent people to Jinling." Thinking of this, Tanchun Then he said the dharma name he asked for Mrs. Wang.

When Baochai heard this, she was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak for a long time.

Wicked?Who is more wicked?

Having such a dharma name is really hard to say.

But thinking of this dharma name, it really matches her aunt's character.

She has no feelings for Baoyu, but if she must get married, Baoyu is a good candidate.

She is soft-tempered and easy to handle, and with Baoyu's disposition, she is not worried about luring wolves into the house.

It's just that if it is Baoyu, it will lose the help of the family.

Although her brother is a righteous and loyal princess bestowed by the imperial decree, she is not optimistic about her brother's married life.Their Xue family is not afraid of all forces in the capital because of the face of the palace, but this is not a long-term thing.What if one day they can't borrow the influence of the palace?

Another one, what she fears the most is that the Xue family, which she guarded so hard, will become a subsidiary of another family.Become a pocketbook for those with a heart.

Alas, because of this marriage, it can be regarded as worrying about her to death.If her aunt was also taken into the capital, Baochai felt that she would have even more headaches.But it's a good thing for my aunt to have such an 'identity'.

Thinking about Tanchun's words "to narrow down" in his heart, Baochai put down this topic and talked about something else. "Concubine Yi in the palace gave birth to a prince. The emperor has decreed that this prince will be adopted under the name of his elder brother. At the full moon, he will be named the prince, and he will become a noble when he becomes an adult. However, because the palace has no female family members Concubine Yi is afraid that the little son will not be properly taken care of, so she specially asks her to bring her with her and raise her until he is six years old."

Tanchun was stunned for a moment, "Madam Yifei?" Who is it?

The corners of Baochai's eyes twitched slightly, "It's the second girl from Rongguo Mansion, Jia Yingchun."

Tanchun rubbed his nose, feeling a little embarrassed for a while.

Because at that moment, Tanchun thought of a concubine of Kangda...

Tanchun still has a certain thickness of face. Although it is not enough to repair the city wall, but at this time, the embarrassment just now can be ignored. "This is a good thing. In the future, Big Brother Xue will also rely on him in his later years."

Baochai nodded, "My mother and I also think so, but we are afraid that the child will grow up in the palace and we will not get close to my brother. But with my brother's temperament, even if we keep the eldest son by our side, we probably won't be able to get close."

Tanchun nodded, these days everyone's children, which one is not surrounded by a group of waiters, with the existence of these people, the children rarely get close to their fathers.

One is that this era pays attention to strict fathers and loving mothers, and the other is that father and son of big families in this era have too little time to meet and get along.The third is a general big family, the father has more than one woman, so there will not be only one son, and if the mother of each son is not the same person, the father's love will be selective, and the son's filial piety will be there Reserve and be prepared.

Even here in Jiang's family, if they were not born from grass roots, all the children would have only one mother, so they probably wouldn't be so close.

...Of course, Xue Pan is playing the role of a loving mother here, and his main job is to compete with his son's wet nurse for his son's attention.

"Sister Bao, there is no need to worry. You must know that being unfilial is a serious crime. Why did the old lady of the Rongguo Mansion manage to control the Jia family in such a way? Isn't it because of filial piety? Brother Xue's identity and seniority are there, you Just rest assured."

"I'm not worried about this. What I worry about is the future of my brother."

Tanchun first raised his eyebrows, and after a little thought, he understood the meaning of Baochai's words, so he chuckled, "Could it be that you are still afraid that your sister-in-law will marry another side concubine in the future? Don't worry, ordinary people don't know the meaning." We don't know the origin of Prince Zhong? Now that he is allowed to marry a male concubine, he will not be allowed to accept any side concubine if he is given an heir. Sister Bao, if you care about it, it will be messed up, otherwise there will be no surprises."

Hearing Baochai's remarks, Tanchun really wanted to laugh. Baochai was worried that the married Xue Pan would lose favor in the future when he got old?

But she didn't think about it either. Although Xue Pan's bun was not bad, it was not so beautiful that it would shock the heavens and make ghosts cry. He was able to get married and has been favored for the past few years, probably not because of his looks.

So even if he gets old and disabled in the future, he probably won't fall out of favor because of these reasons.

...Maybe Baochai's male sister-in-law really can't stand her brother's stupidity.

Goofy and cute.

I heard that my son did another embarrassing thing in the palace.

On the way back, she heard that Princess Yizhong was making a joke again.

I don't know what it is that can overwhelm the news that the concubine gave birth to a prince and spread so far.

Uh, actually Xue Pan didn't do anything.It was when the little prince Yingchun was full moon, he said that this child is really ugly, he doesn't look like him or anything.

Let's not talk about where a one-month-old child can see.Just say that this child has no blood relationship with you at all, so it's strange how he looks.

If you complain, just open your mouth, the emperor and other royal relatives, as well as the prince's original mother, will be extremely embarrassed.He was the only one who still felt aggrieved, so he looked back pitifully for Brother Si Qing.

Brother Si Qing didn't know how to save his silly spores on the spot, so he had to bite the bullet and say something, this kid looks like me at first glance.

Unexpectedly, Princess Yizhong of the Silly Spore brand heard this, looked at Si Qing with pity and gratitude, and said, "You are lucky. You were so miserable when you were young, and you were not sent out."But I didn't expect you to be ugly when you were a child, but you don't look ugly at all when you grow up. '

In Concubine Xue's heart, the emperor wanted to give this son away just because he was ugly.

With just such a sentence, the entire full moon banquet, which was not considered lively at all, was brought to a standstill.

Then this matter was censored and deleted.

......

Baochai heard Tanchun's words at this time, and wondered why she had a backbone, "What my sister said is that it's just my brother, who is always worrying."

Tanchun really wanted to reply to her that "stupid people have stupid blessings", but he was afraid that Baochai would not be happy if he said that, so he could only say, "Brother Xue has been blessed since he came. If a prince is the son, he will not be in the way. Even if there are any changes in the future, no one can shake the position of the son. If the son is fine, Big Brother Xue will be fine."

Baochai thought of the next sentence that Tanchun didn't say.

If something happened to the eldest son, not to mention her elder brother, the entire Prince Yizhong's mansion would be in big trouble.

But thinking about it this way, Baochai felt relieved.

At this point, Baochai talked about the purpose of her coming here, "My sister knows about our family, so tell me something that won't scare you from laughing, don't say that my mother is concerned about my marriage, even other people in the capital also care about my marriage." I am concerned about my marriage. Today, the princes are all old, and they have their own disciples around them...

From time to time, a disciple of the prince would come to Xue's house to propose a marriage. Knowing that he was a drunkard, he didn't want to drink, and his sister didn't dare to answer. Know what to do again.My mother wants to get closer, but Baoyu..."

Baochai didn't want to marry the concubine son of those princes' disciples, and then be forced to stand in line.But I don't want to marry Baoyu, so that my family doesn't even have any other power.

To know Yi Baoyu's current situation, he has no natal family.

But if she married a concubine from a certain family, she was afraid that one day in the future, this man would unite with his family and take over the Xue family to do something.

Being in a dilemma for a while, I wanted to ask Tanchun who was very thoughtful in front of me.

Baochai's considerations are very clear, but Tanchun feels that this kind of thing does not need to be considered at all, "Sister Bao is also the head of the family now, can't she find someone who agrees with her?"

Why do you always think about marriage like this.Couldn't she think about the right of Patriarch in her hands at this time?

Baochai shook her head and smiled wryly, "It's not easy to agree with each other. People's hearts are unpredictable. Now I can't tell whether the people who approach me every time are those who are after me, or those who are after my Xue family's property.

My sister also knows that our Xue family doesn't say that wealth can rival a country, but it is also the door to wealth.With the wealth of my Xue family, it is much easier to buy officials or do other things.

In the past two years, it's not that no one deliberately approached me.Every month when I go to the shop to check the accounts, I always meet a few young men with long flat heads and flat faces. I don’t care about others. I only say that during the past six months when my sister went to the north, I just ran into them on the way to and from home and the shop. Three or four incidents of brave acts of righteousness and drawing swords to help each other.

Do those people really think I'm a fool?The plot in such a book dares to show it conspicuously. "

Tanchun: "..."

The author has something to say: I thought I would only update one chapter from today, but after receiving the landmine ticket, the stupid author posted another chapter before he fell asleep.

Thanks Rui for throwing a mine, thank you!
