100. Chapter 100
Xue Baochai was not surprised at all when she heard this, she already knew Mrs. Wang's plans, so she was not hypocritical, and only responded: "Yes, listen to Mrs." β
Mrs. Wang nodded with satisfaction, and then talked about the morning, "You are too confused, what day is today, how can you make a room of elders wait for you?" It's not a joke to spread it, we don't have a tutor in our family! β
Xue Baochai was so ashamed that his face was red, and he didn't dare to say a word, only lowered his head with tears in his eyes.
When Mrs. Wang saw her like this, her heart softened a little, "I also know what kind of character Baoyu is, and you may not be able to persuade him." That's it this time, not again. I don't have to make people laugh at our Wang family's daughter. β
Xue Baochai blushed and nodded with tears, "What my wife taught me is that my daughter-in-law knows." β
Mrs. Wang nodded with satisfaction, "Sit down!" Talk to me for a while, by the way, you didn't eat in the morning, Jin Chu'er, bring some snacks. You make a mat first, and then you have to serve the old lady for dinner. The rules of our family, the girl's family that has not been out of the pavilion is particularly noble, and I also came here like this. β
Xue Baochai stood up and said gratefully: "Thank you Mrs. for mentioning it, it is also a blessing in my last life, so that I can cultivate to such a considerate mother-in-law as my wife, my wife has gone through more things than me, if I don't understand anything in the future, please teach me too much." β
Mrs. Wang smiled with satisfaction, "Sit down, I've been standing all morning, and I'm not too tired to panic." Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "Caiyun, send someone to wait in the outer study, if Baoyu comes out, let him come to me immediately." Be careful, and if the old man is angry, immediately make someone sue the old lady. β
Caiyun answered.
Mrs. Wang looked at Xue Baochai in distress, "You don't know, this morning, the master must be angry!" Maybe Baoyu will be taught a lesson again! β
Xue Baochai persuaded with a smile: "Mrs. don't worry, the second master is the child, and the master's child." The old man is angry, and it is also because he has high hopes for the second master, how can the old man not love him. It's just that there is a good saying, mother's love is like water, delicate and warm, father's love is like a mountain, thick and speechless, the master also loves the second master, but it is not easy to bring it out on the face. Besides, the old lady is so happy today, and it's a good day, the old man is angry again, and he won't beat the second master today. Don't worry, wife! β
Mrs. Wang was in a much better mood when Xue Baochai said this, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked and laughed, and it was not until a quarter of an hour later that Jia Baoyu walked in dejectedly. As soon as he saw Mrs. Wang looking at him lovingly, he immediately felt aggrieved, called "Mrs.", and then walked a few steps quickly and smashed into Mrs. Wang's arms.
Mrs. Wang didn't even look at Baochai when she saw him come in, she was only thinking about herself, and she was even more happy, hugging Baoyu's heart and liver and calling non-stop, "My son, what's wrong?" Did your lord say you again? β
Jia Baoyu nodded, "Madam, the old man said that I would take the initiative to tell the old lady that I would move outside the garden to live, and that he would watch me study." β
Mrs. Wang was stunned, then touched Jia Baoyu's face lovingly and asked, "My son, tell Mrs. SΓΉ the truth, would you like to move out of the garden to live?" If you want, you can talk to the old lady, and if you don't, just say it. β
How could Jia Baoyu want to move out of the garden, shaking his head busily.
When Mrs. Wang saw it, she smiled and said, "If you really don't want to, then talk to the old lady." The old lady loves you and won't embarrass you. β
Jia Baoyu was skeptical, "Madam, if I say this, will the old lady be unhappy?" β
Mrs. Wang smiled, "The old lady likes you so much, how can she be unhappy!" There you go! When Jia Baoyu heard this, he jumped up happily, opened the curtain and ran.
Xue Baochai only felt that the taste was difficult to distinguish in his heart, "Madam, this? β
Mrs. Wang was in a good mood, so she didn't skimp on words, but carefully explained to Xue Baochai, "The Grand View Garden was originally built for the concubine to save her relatives, and it is also the meaning of the concubine, so I let you go in and live." The three girls and the four girls will always have to go out of the pavilion in the future, such a big garden, if you don't live, it's a pity to be empty. After speaking, he glanced at Baochai quite meaningfully.
Xue Baochai immediately understood what Mrs. Wang meant, so it was. She said, my aunt has always thought that there are many girls in the garden, and she doesn't like Baoyu to live in it, but now she is willing to do so. It turned out to be for this. When this garden was first built, it did its best to occupy the garden of Ningguofu, and even the courtyard of the eldest lord also occupied a lot, and it cost countless dollars. After the concubine was lucky, the sisters lived together, and as for the specific ownership of this garden, the house never mentioned it. Looking at the meaning of my aunt, I think that this garden will live in it, and it will become a second room.
Xue Baochai was a little embarrassed in her heart, to say that she was not interested in the Grand View Garden, this is also false, but if she delayed Baoyu's future for the sake of a garden, then wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses. But looking at Mrs. Wang like this, Xue Baochai understood that this could not be said today. That's it, I have to persuade Baoyu in the future.
Here, Mrs. Wang's second grandmother and mother-in-law reached a consensus, and Jia Tanchun over there found that there was no movement on Mrs. Wang's side after a few days of worry, and he was relieved, thinking that he was safe for the time being. Who knows, one day, in front of Jia's mother and Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang suddenly said: "The three girls have been housekeepers for some days, although the daughter's family should learn some housekeeping things, but in the end, the time in the boudoir is precious, and it should be the most carefree. Besides, the three girls are getting older day by day, and it's time to say goodbye. At this moment, when it came out about her housekeeper, I didn't have to talk about it, thinking that there was no one in our family, so that a quiet daughter's family was tired! Now that Baoyu has married, it is better to let Baoyu's daughter-in-law take care of the house! What did the old lady say? β
Jia Tanchun's heart rose to his throat, and he also looked at Jia's mother nervously.
Jia Mu pondered for a moment, looked at Tanchun with a nervous face, and then looked at Xue Baochai with an indifferent face, and the two immediately appeared between the two, and then nodded and said, "What you said also makes sense." In this case, from Ming'er onwards, let Baoyu's daughter-in-law take care of the house! The three girls have a good rest for a few days. It's just that since you talked about the marriage of the three girls today, I will leave this matter to you! Originally, I planned to continue to let Feng Yatou find it, but something happened to Lian'er, and Feng Yatou was not at home, so I could only continue to bother you. β
Mrs. Wang smiled incredibly, "I was the mother-in-law of the third girl, and this is as it should be." β
This matter was decided, and the complacent Jia Tanchun was robbed of her stewardship in an instant, which made all her previous efforts in vain. But she couldn't do anything about it. Mrs. Wang's words were not only reasonable, but also used her family affairs to pinch her, Jia Tanchun could only swallow her anger and let it go.
After coming out of Jia's mother's place, Jia Zheng wanted to go back to the study, but was stopped by Mrs. Wang, "Master, since I have already said it today, why don't you take this opportunity to sit down and discuss the matter of the three girls!" β
Jia Zheng thought about it, then nodded.
For a while, Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng sat down separately, Xue Baochai stood beside Mrs. Wang and poured tea and water, Mrs. Wang watched Xue Baochai standing, but Jia Tanchun was sitting there, so she asked Xue Baochai to sit down next to Baoyu. "Since it's a family affair of the three girls, it's better to let the aunt come too! After all, she is the daughter of her aunt, so listen to her aunt's meaning. β
Jia Tanchun's eyes lit up, and if her aunt was there, she also had some bottom in her heart.
But Jia Zheng frowned and said: "You are your mother-in-law, you are in charge of her family affairs, let her do something!" What could she know? β
A smile flashed on Mrs. Wang's face, she knew Jia Zheng's character, and she deliberately said this, which also saved Aunt Zhao from making trouble in the future. "In that case, let us discuss! I wonder what the lord has to ask for this? I'm also going to inquire about the candidates according to the master's wishes. β
Jia Zheng said: "The first thing in character is limited, even if the family is poor, the most important thing is that people must be motivated, don't be like this little beast who doesn't learn and has no skills." β
Mrs. Wang frowned, "If the master says this, I also know it in my heart." It's just an ordinary noble son, and there are also sensible and courteous people, but most of them are from the concubines, and the three girls are all good in character and appearance, but they are only concubines in the end. I'm afraid that people like that may not be able to look down on them. β
When she said the word "concubine", Mrs. Wang glanced at Jia Tanchun, saw that her face was white, and sneered.
Jia Zheng also knew this fact, and sighed: "That being the case, then let's pick one among those poor students!" In the future, he will be more promising. The chill for a while is nothing, just for the future. The last two sentences were obviously said to Jia Tanchun.
Jia Tanchun's face was slightly pale, his heart was complicated, a poor student, from the imperial examination? How easy is it to say, there are so many students, how many of them have survived in the end? She was actually reluctant, but it was the master who said this, so she couldn't refute it, otherwise she wouldn't know what to do! For now, the only way to do this is to fight for a dowry. If you are like the second sister, you will be able to live a good life with your dowry in the future!
Mrs. Wang didn't know Jia Tanchun's thoughts, so she only smiled slightly, and soon, you will know that some things are not what you want. Wait for it!
"If the lord says so, then I will send someone to pay attention. I will definitely choose a good one for the three girls. β
"Well, after you have chosen, tell me about the candidate, and after I have seen it, I will make a decision." In the end, it is the daughter born to the concubine, Jia Zheng paid extra attention, glanced at Tanchun lightly, and said to Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang nodded, "Got it, sir." "What have you seen, how can you know the twists and turns in this. Even if I did the means, you may not be able to see it.
