Chapter 145
Third Sister You is just laughing casually. didn't know that his words had touched the hearts of two people.
These two people are Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun.
Especially Xue Baochai, who will be eighteen years old after the New Year, if it is in an ordinary family, let alone allowing others to marry, I am afraid that he will even have children. It's a pity that she has waited so long, but she can't even get a quasi-letter.
As for Shi Xiangyun, although she also has the intention of being young and young, she has always relied on the support of the Shi family, and with Jia's mother to take care of her, she is not as eager as Xue Baochai.
Baoyu's birthday is on April 26. Because the crown prince is now succeeding to the throne and is very harmonious with the emperor, there is no such thing as a concubine in the palace, and of course the people can't help but hold wine and banquets and get married.
So this year, Baoyu's birthday was as lively as in previous years.
Early in the morning, in front of the Rongguo Mansion was the hustle and bustle of cars and horses, and there was an endless stream of people who came to pay their respects and give gifts.
Third Sister You has read the original book, so she naturally knows that this day is not only Baoyu's birthday, but also Xue Baoqin, Xing Xiuyan, and even Ping'er's birthday.
So on the same day, four birthday gifts were purchased, among which the four treasures of the study were given to Baoyu, the needlework of Baoqin and Xiuyan was made by home, and Ping'er also had both ends of the ceremony.
Everyone received the birthday gift, and naturally thanked them again. Compared with the lively joy of other girls, Tanchun, who is now in charge of family affairs, is inevitably a little embarrassed. looked at Xing Xiuyan and said with a smile: "It turns out that Sister Xing is also today's birthday, why did I forget." ”
After that, he hurriedly ordered the maid to pass it on to the subordinates, and prepare a table gift to send to the spring room.
Xing Xiuyan never thought that Third Sister You was a foreigner, but she was so careful and remembered her birthday. Deng Shi held the hand of Third Sister You and smiled gratefully. And because the third sister You broke her birthday, Tanchun prepared another congratulatory gift, and Xing Xiuyan was rarely allowed in each room.
Tanchun smiled and said, "This is somewhat interesting. There are twelve months of the year, and there are several birthdays in each month. If there are many people, it will be a coincidence, either these two days or those three days. ”
Everyone knew the meaning of spring exploration, so they also counted their birthdays in an interesting way. And because Lin Daiyu now lives in her own house, and she has her father's love, the attacker did not say any gossip about "not his own family".
When the feast was ready, Baoyu kowtowed to the old lady Wang again, offered wine, and everyone took their seats.
Because the elders were all present, the girls did not dare to be as presumptuous as the original book, but the screen was splendid, the mattress was set up with hibiscus, and the wine drama was noisy, but it was not lively.
After three rounds of drinking, sure enough, another little girl came to report, only saying that Shi Xiangyun was greedy for a few glasses of wine and fell asleep on the stone bench in the back garden. When they heard this, they all got up and left their tables, and went into the garden. Sure enough, Shi Xiangyun was as lively as a begonia sleeping in spring.
Even though Lin Daiyu chanted the ancient poem "Under the drunken fragrant tree, half buried by falling flowers", everyone praised the scene. Baoyu was worried that Shi Xiangyun was falling asleep on the stone bench and catching a cold, so he hurriedly woke people up. There was a stack of voices urging the little girl to bring the sobering soup.
Everyone looked coldly at Baoyu's very attentive and cautious appearance, and smiled unconsciously.
After Baoyu's birthday, Mrs. Baolinger came to visit Jia's mother. The words inevitably mentioned the meaning of "childhood sweethearts, two little guesses".
Of course, Mrs. Shi also has this intention, but in the past, the marriage of children has always obeyed the "words of the parents' orders", although Jia's mother loves Baoyu, it is not good to cross Jia Zheng and his wife. It happened that Jia Zheng was resting on this day, and Jia's mother ordered the little girl to call Jia Zheng to the back and ask Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang in person.
Mrs. Wang advocated "golden and jade good fate" back then, that is, Sister Feng had a miscarriage a few days ago, and Mrs. Wang also asked Baochai to help take care of family affairs, and her intentions were clearly revealed.
But Mrs. Baolinghou still mentioned the marriage of her two children to Jia Zheng and his wife with a spring breeze on her face.
Because after the crown prince succeeded to the throne, he purged the rule of officials and rectified military affairs, although there were moves to promote the poor, but every step of the move still relied on the meritorious family, so the half of the merits of the DPRK and China and Thailand were more beautiful than in the original book.
After Baoling Hou became a meritorious veteran, he has always been low-key and cautious, and he is diligent in his errands, and he is also quite respected by saints.
In contrast, the Wang family, who was closer to the second mansion of Rongning, was angry with the saint because of Xue Pan's incident, and since Wang Ziteng was demoted and fined by the saint that year, he has not recovered.
As for the Xue family, not to mention, if there was still some momentum in the past, and now it has been deprived of the name of the imperial businessman, it is just an ordinary businessman.
In terms of family lineage, of course, it can't compare to a historian with two marquis.
Seeing Mrs. Wang's inexplicable attitude, Mrs. Baoling Hou couldn't help but smile and said: "If you talk about it, Yun'er and Baoyu grew up together since childhood, and their temperament and temperament are naturally well known. Besides, Yun'er is the grandnephew and granddaughter of the old lady, and the old lady loves her like a treasure jade on weekdays. If this family business can be successful, it is a kiss and a kiss, and the old lady is also at ease, and we can also rest assured. In the future, if Baoyu needs help in his career, I will naturally not say anything to the master. will only take Baoyu's own uncle. Even his cousins and cousins also know how to help each other. ”
In other words, if this family business fails, then it is no wonder that the historian will stay away from the Rongning Second Mansion in the future.
Faintly hearing the meaning of Mrs. Baolinghou's words, Jia Zheng couldn't help but move slightly, and subconsciously looked at Mrs. Wang. He knew that Mrs. Wang liked Baochai, and he also felt that Baochai was a good match at any time.
However, no matter how outstanding Xue Baochai's temperament is, it can't change the decline of the Xue family. What's more, Xue Baochai has such an unconscious brother. In order to snatch a maid, he can kill people and cause such a big disaster...... If Baoyu marries Baochai and enters the door, and becomes a brother-in-law with Xue Pan, not to mention that he can get some help in his career in the future, I am afraid that it will be excellent if he is not busy with the aftermath of the Xue family.
The most important thing is the Bowling Mansion...... Although the power of the historians in the court is not as good as that of Zhao Bihe and Chen Qi, they are also very important compared with many nobles who have no real power in the air.
Nowadays, historians take the initiative to come to the door to propose marriage, and what they are thinking about is the goodwill of "kissing and kissing". Jia Zheng knew that the historian's move was not to value Baoyu's character and knowledge, but he felt that the Shi family and the Jia family were in-laws, and Shi Lao Taijun was Shi Xiangyun's elder relative, and he married Shi Xiangyun, whose parents died since childhood, to Rongguo Mansion, which was entrusted to Shi Lao Taijun to take care of, and Shi Xiangyun of the province had an unsatisfactory life after marriage, and outsiders talked about the Shi family's mistreatment of the orphan daughter of the first brother. It's just for the sake of fame.
If he politely rejected the Shi family's proposal, with the temperament of the Shi family, he might not be annoyed and angry. However, the friendship between the two families is only afraid that it will be cold. After all, there is not much movement between the Shi family and the Jia family now.
At least it can't compare to the Wang family, who are also in-laws.
Jia Zheng thought about this, and couldn't help but hesitate, quite reluctant to the lintel and power of the historian.
It must be known that today's Jia family is not the Jia family in the original book that has a daughter as a concubine in the palace, so they can also ascend to heaven. Yuan Chun was "sent" out of the palace by the saint, and the grandfathers of the Jia family were disliked by the saints one after another, and the descendants and younger generations were not successful.
This knotted eye, but the help of the historian is really indispensable.
Jia Zheng frowned without missing a trace, and for a while remembered that Jia's mother wanted to match the two jades back then-now Lin Ruhai has entered Beijing and entered the pavilion, and he has already been a proud scholar of Longtu Pavilion, and he is deeply respected by the sage. If Baoyu can marry Miss Lin, I am afraid that there will be no need to worry about her career in the future. Now that I think about it, in the end, it is my mother's far-reaching calculations.
Jia Zheng sighed in his heart, but his face was not obvious. gladly accepted this family business.
The matter has come to this point, even if Mrs. Wang cares about "gold and jade", she is helpless.
received a positive reply from Rongguo Mansion, and Mrs. Baoling Hou was also very satisfied. When he took Shi Xiangyun's family to go, he waited for the Rong Mansion to come to the door to propose. Needless to say.
Now it is only said that after Mrs. Baoling Hou left, the news that Baoyu was going to marry Xiangyun spread all over the Rongguo Mansion in an instant.
The mother and daughter of the Xue family learned the news from the little maid's mouth, and when they landed, they were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and they couldn't believe it.
