Sitting in the Dicui Pavilion with Xue Baochai, Jia Jiu opened all the windows and let the girls and grandmothers guard outside, and after listening to Xue Baochai say this, he said: "Then Sister Bao, do you think you can control the Xue family for the rest of your life?" ”

Xue Baochai shook his head again and again, and said, "How is it possible." Even if there is no sister Luan, my brother will marry his sister-in-law in the future, and the affairs of the family will still be handed over. ”

Jia Jiu smiled: "That's not it." Or do you think that the ability of Prince Tengwang will not be as good as a dowry? ”

Xue Baochai said: "How is it possible." My uncle is not the master here. ”

As soon as these words came out, both of them couldn't help laughing.

After a long while, the two stopped laughing, and only heard Xue Baochai say: "Since that year, I never thought that I could sit with my second sister like this." ”

Jia Jiu smiled: "Whether you believe Sister Bao or not, anyway, I have neither hated you nor complained about you." ”

Xue Baochai said: "Because you have been prepared for a long time. No matter what I choose in the end, I can't escape your calculations. As he spoke, he said with three points of amazement: "Actually, I'm glad that I didn't mess with you, nor did I offend you to death." And the second sister, you, have been very considerate of me for many years, so I can come to this day in peace. Otherwise, you don't need to add your aunt, it's just a second sister, and you can play me to death. ”

Jia Jiu said: "You don't have to be too humble. I'm just taking advantage of my status. ”

Xue Baochai shook his head, brushed the hair that flew in front of him behind his ears, and said, "But the second sister has finally picked up the second brother Lian." Although a large part of this is the credit of the Zhang family, Cong'er is not fake? Even Lan'er can't compare to him, let alone Huan'er. Even Baoyu. ”

Jia Jiu was able to let his brother climb up and train his younger brother, but he Xue Baochai failed to help his mother manage his brother Xue Pan. How can Xue Baochai not know about this gap? Now Xue Baochai can only hope that Wang Ziteng can take Xue Pan into charge.

For Wang Ziteng's ability, Xue Baochai can always be trusted.

Hearing this, Jia Jiu restrained his smile. said: "Sister Bao, can you really let it go?" ”

Xue Baochai said: "When I was thrown out of the palace by my mother, it was already decided that my marriage would definitely be delayed. Baoyu. In fact, I was able to come into contact with the person with the best family background and the best temper. It's just that, now that I think about it, half of Baoyu's demeanor comes from his heart. The other half is made out of money. And this money. It used to be my sister's money, then it was my family's money, and that's it. It's really funny, thinking about myself at that time, I was like a crazy demon, and I couldn't even understand this. ”

As he spoke, tears came down from Xue Baochai's face. But Xue Baochai was still smiling, as if he hadn't found himself crying at all.

Jia Jiu looked at Xue Baochai like this. sighed and said, "Sister Bao, have you finally figured it out?" ”

Xue Baochai replied: "Second sister." You once said that Baoyu has been refusing to grow up. In fact, I know that he is growing up, but the speed at which he grows up is too slow, even Sister Yun may not be able to wait for the day when he grows up, let alone me? I'm three years older than him, so how can I wait? Second sister, I won't wait. You're right, my uncle's ability is definitely not comparable to a dowry and a pair of belongings. With his uncle on the side to help, my brother will definitely be able to support the family. I can take the burden off my shoulders too. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Then do you have any plans?" ”

Xue Baochai said: "I'm not young, it's basically impossible to marry a man with a good family background, a lot of money and a lot of money. Fortunately, I look good, the housekeeper, the female celebrity, and the middle feed are all here, and my brother and mother will not be short of my share of the dowry, so as long as I don't force myself to marry the prince and brother, I can also marry a good family. What's more coincidental is that I heard that Liu Xianglian, who saved me, turned out to be the lord, but his parents died early, and he didn't know how to settle down when he was young, which made the family ruined. If I marry with a large dowry, with my looks and my ability, I will naturally be able to live a good life. ”

Jia Jiu looked at Xue Baochai like this, and then he was relieved: "Since this is the case, then I will give my sister a piece of advice, which can also be said to be a reminder." Men don't like women behind their backs and always push them to improve. Men who really know how to be motivated, without the supervision of women, they will climb up hard; I don't know how to be motivated, even if you whip him, it's useless. So, Sister Bao, when you get married in the future, don't make mistakes here. However, I see that Liu Xianglian came back this time, maybe she just wanted to marry a famous Shuyuan and then revive the family business. Maybe he didn't have to bother with Sister Bao, he went up on his own. ”

Xue Baochai smiled: "Second sister, thank you." ”

With Jia Jiu's enlightenment, Xue Baochai's mood was much better.

As he said to Jia Jiu, after more than two years of-for-tat confrontation with Mrs. Wang, Xue Baochai has seen many things. He had a clear meaning with his uncle Wang Ziteng, and Wang Ziteng was very happy to see that Xue Baochai was interested, and he listened to Liu Xianglian's meaning, and saw that Liu Xianglian's request for his wife was only two words, and he felt even more relaxed.

In this way, Xue Pan and Wang Xiluan, Liu Xianglian and Xue Baochai, the matter of these two pairs of young people was decided in this way.

Xue Pan couldn't bear to wronged his cousin, insisted on refusing to marry in Jia's house, and refused to wronged his sister, so that Xue Baochai would marry from Mrs. Jia Zhengwang's side, so although he still lived with Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, he was not there during the day, but followed Liu Xianglian around, prepared dowries for Wang Xiluan and Xue Baochai, and also prepared a house for Liu Xianglian.

Liu Xianglian was still very embarrassed, but Xue Pan was very insistent: "You also know that our family only has money left." But what is money? If you don't bring it with you in life and don't bring it with you, you can't bring it with you, and you can earn it back after you spend it, so when will you use it? If you want me to say, if you use it on your brother, you can still get thanks, but if you use it on others, it is good to have no white eyes. ”

Liu Xianglian had also heard about the Xue family and Mrs. Wang. I couldn't help but be curious: "It turns out that the rumors are true?" ”

Xue Pan nodded violently and said, "Not really." My sister and Jia Junjun also had an unpleasant time, but this time. Jia Junjun also came to explain my sister. What about that one? But our brother and sister's aunt actually tried their best to calculate our family! This time, if it weren't for my uncle, I'm afraid I'd be calculated over there again. So, I thought, no matter what, we can't live over there. But. Our Xue family's ancestral house has been repossessed by the clan, so we might as well buy it together this time. Everyone also has a response. There are five sets of houses for my uncle's house, a house for my daughter-in-law to marry, a house for my sister to marry, and one house for you and me to use as parents. However, the woman's family is married. I always want a Zhuangzi to marry or something. My uncle's property in the south has also been given to my cousin, who is not a good person, so I have to buy three more Zhuangzi, and I can go to the countryside to escape the summer when I have leisure in the future......"

Xue Pan pressed his fingers and counted the industries that needed to be purchased. Wang Ziteng and Liu Xianglian fancy the courtyard is not big, and Xue Pan feels that the population of his family is really small. Therefore, the house that is needed is not much needed. Just pay attention to the surrounding environment. For the Xue family, the cost is not very large.

As for the Zhuangzi in the Gyeonggi area, it is not so good. In order to build a grand view garden, Xue Baochai contributed the dowry Zhuangzi that his father prepared for him, and Xue Pan swore that he would compensate his sister twice. Therefore, he is ready to marry Xue Baochai ten hectares of land, that is, 1,000 acres of land. My sister is still like this, and my uncle and daughter-in-law naturally can't be lazy.

The land in Beijing is expensive, but after comparing Mrs. Jia Zhengwang and the various expenses in the Grand View Garden, Xue Pan said that as long as the Xue family moves out and no longer supplies Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, and no longer supplies the upper and lower levels of the Grand View Garden and the Jia family (especially Mrs. Jia Zhengwang), then as long as it takes a year to save these expenses. This is still without saving their Xue family's expenses.

Therefore, with the support of his uncle and after doing his mother's work, as soon as Xue Pan found a house, he moved out with his mother, sister, cousin, and uncle's family.

This time, Mrs. Wang's side is in a mess.

How many people do you need to take care of such a large view garden on weekdays? What's more, Mrs. Wang's baby son, there are only eight first-class girls in Jia Baoyu's house, plus second-class, third-class and rough mother-in-law, there are thirty or forty people in Yihong Courtyard, and some have never even seen Jia Baoyu herself, let alone Mrs. Wang.

Originally, when Xue Baochai lived in the Grand View Garden, the monthly money from Jia Zheng's books, calligraphy and paintings, Mrs. Wang's clothes and jewelry, and down to the monthly money for eating, drinking, and clothing of the maids and servants below, were all the money of the Xue family, but now, Xue Baochai suddenly moved away, and this supply is naturally gone, how can Mrs. Wang not be in a hurry?

For many years, Mrs. Wang, who had been holding the shelf of the imperial concubine's mother in front of Aunt Xue, was finally anxious. He took the car and went into the city to find Aunt Xue, but what he didn't expect was that the first person he saw was not Aunt Xue, nor any of Xue Pan and Xue Baochai's brothers and sisters, but his brother Wang Ziteng.

Jia Jiu didn't know what Mrs. Wang said to Wang Ziteng that day, only that Mrs. Wang didn't even have food in the Xue family, so she returned to the suburbs that day.

Then, news came from Daguanyuan, saying that Mrs. Wang was going to lay off people and sell half of the girls and mothers-in-law in the suburbs. Even the Grand View Garden is going to be locked.

When Jia Mu heard this, she was anxious.

Jia's mother is old, and she can't stand the bumps, so she has to call Mrs. Jia Zhengwang to the Rongguo Marquis's Mansion.

"Second brother, what's wrong with you? Don't you know that selling your slaves is a bad omen? It's not the boss's time, the boss was because those minions poisoned him, and he had no choice, so he sold people. But what about you? is good, how can you sell people? ”

Mrs. Wang lowered her head and said, "Old lady, I can't help it." In this garden, it is sixty or seventy thousand taels of silver a year, how much silver did our master get when he split up? How to afford it? The only way to do this is to close the garden and sell some of the surplus manpower so that you can save some chewing. ”

Jia Mu looked left and right, waited for someone to speak, and looked left and right, only to find that Jia Jiu was not there at all. Also, every time she encounters such a time, Jia Jiu will always ridicule Mrs. Wang a few times, and when Jia Mu sees Mrs. Wang, she will not let Jia Jiu be in front of her.

It's the same today.

In order to talk to Mrs. Wang, Mother Jia took the first step to send Jia Jiu to Lin Daiyu's side.

Jia Mu had to say: "Then before, the garden ...... That's it, I see. ”

At this time, how could Jia Mu not understand? It's just that Mrs. Wang used Jia Baoyu to hang the Xue family, so that the Xue family kept coming up with money. Now, the Xue family doesn't eat this set anymore and has moved away. Mrs. Wang naturally can't afford to raise the Grand View Garden.

Jia Mu took a deep breath and said, "So, what do you think of Baoyu's future?" ”

Mrs. Wang said: "Old lady, Baoyu is naturally excellent. The eldest girl is the same age as Baoyu, you see......"

At first, Jia Mu thought that Mrs. Wang was talking about Shi Xiangyun, but when he picked up the tea bowl on the side, he realized that Mrs. Wang was talking about Lin Daiyu, and she almost didn't drop the tea bowl.

"You're talking about Lin girl?"

Jia Mu couldn't believe her ears at all. But Mrs. Wang did answer Jia's mother's question with an affirmative answer.

Jia Mu looked at Mrs. Wang, then turned her head and asked Jia Zheng: "Second child, what do you say?" ”

I saw Jia Zheng frowning, touching his beard, tilting his head slightly, as if he had thought about it for a while, before he said: "The Xue family is rich, but the Xue family's brother is too unsuccessful." Bao Yatou is really too public, and there is such a maternal uncle's family, and if she marries their family, something will happen sooner or later. As for Lin Yatou, her brother-in-law has been gone for several years, and Brother Lin doesn't know if she can win the township test next year. If you can win, this family business is still a little interesting. ”

Mother Jia was almost angry with this son: "At this time, are you still picking?" Do you think that you and your son are so rare outside? Get the hell out of here! ”

Jia Zheng saw that his mother was angry, so he knelt down with a puff: "Mother is angry." Madame Wang had no choice but to kneel.

Looking at this son whose hair was also gray, Mother Jia burst into tears and said, "I always thought that you couldn't attack the lord, and I should fight for you a little more." Now I understand that I should not fight for you, but should have taught you what self-knowledge is early on. Do you think it's still the time when your father was alive? When your father was alive, when he saw Baoyu's stone, he must have told someone to throw it away at the first time. He is not a treasure who brings wealth to the family, that is the bane! You are still disgusted now, you think that Lin Yatou has no father, and you think that Lin Yatou's younger brother is just a showman. Do you know that Lin Yatou's younger brother is a young man, what about you? You have been taking the imperial examination for so many years, have you made a name for yourself? It's not because your father loves you that you got an official position? The result? You can't pass the imperial examination, whether you are an official or a man, you can't do it. If you were a capable person, would you still be a member of the Ministry of Works? Two girls, a girl, are better than you! ”

Mother Jia was angry, where did Mrs. Jia Zhengwang dare to talk back, she could only bow her head.

However, Jia's mother still loved her son in the end, and he freed up 10,000 taels of silver from the 30,000 taels of silver Jia Yu gave him every year to Jia Zheng. Much, but not giving.

Daguanyuan Jia's mother also gave out silver. If you give too much, you will have to move to Jia's mother's private room. Of course, Jia's mother would not press her own private room for this unsuccessful son. (To be continued......)
