Chapter 15.68 Confinement

Someone asked Miss Bao again, that is, why Xue Baochai still made needlework for Jia Baoyu, and it was such a very close-fitting clothing.

How the singer replied later, Liu Xianglian didn't have the heart to listen.

All he knew was that his heart was in turmoil, and his ears were buzzing.

There are really not many men in the past who don't mind women. If it was the words of the matchmaker of his parents, if it was before he got married, Xue Baochai clearly told him that Mrs. Wang had an agreement with his mother, and he once regarded Jia Baoyu as his future husband, maybe Liu Xianglian would not have been hit so badly. But Xue Baochai never told him from beginning to end, and even whitewashed the peace, treating what happened in the past as if it hadn't happened.

Now, Liu Xianglian learned about Xue Baochai's old story in front of her friends from other people's mouths, and she was also a singer, and Liu Xianglian's mood at that time can be imagined.

In fact, since getting married, Liu Xianglian has also been curious about why the Xue family is willing to marry Xue Baochai to herself, and the Xue family took the initiative to propose marriage. Liu Xianglian herself also knows that she used to rely on strings to get money, and in the eyes of the old friends, he Liu Xianglian has been reduced to a character similar to a play. This is also why Liu Xianglian chose a famous lady. Because he needs to rely on his wife's reputation and his wife's social status to revive the family business.

Although Xue Baochai is just a businesswoman, Xue Baochai is indeed good enough, Jia Yuanchun was still the imperial concubine at the time, for the sake of Jia Shiwang Xue's old signboard, for Jia Yuanchun's sake, Liu Xianglian was ecstatic to agree to this family business.

Although Jia Yuanchun is now gone. Even the funeral is not very good, but Xue Baochai has a good relationship with Jia Junjun, and it is a festival time. The Marquis of Rongguo's mansion will also give seasonal return gifts.

It can be said that although there are some deviations from her expectations, Liu Xianglian is still quite satisfied with her marriage.

Liu Xianglian never thought that her wife would have such peachy news.

Liu Xianglian was even too shocked to forget to stop the singer from continuing, so that his fox friends and dog friends inquired about his wife's past.

That day, Liu Xianglian didn't know how she got home, when facing his wife's beautiful face. I don't even feel it anymore.

Xue Baochai is such a smart person, when he saw that her husband's face was wrong, he immediately knew that it was not good. Xue Baochai didn't know what her husband was for. So that his expression changed greatly, but it did not prevent him from helping his husband back to the room to rest, and he opened hot water to freshen up his husband, and said: "Today Zhuangzi sent two live grass carp. This grass carp is not uncommon. It can be sent here from Zhuangzi, but it is not easy. I remember that in the old years, the second sister specially made Hangzhou dishes for Jia Xianjun and Jia Xiangjun. There is a vinegar fish in it, which is made of grass carp, which is extremely delicious. Why don't I cook it myself today, clean up these two grass carp, and give you wine? ”

Liu Xianglian grabbed Xue Baochai's hand and said, "You, you tell me." You, you ......"

Liu Xianglian, you've been for a long time. But he didn't ask anything.

Xue Baochai looked at her husband steadily, and said unusually calmly: "If the Xianggong wants to ask, just ask directly." ”

Liu Xianglian said: "You ...... with that Jia Baoyu"

Xue Baochai nodded and said, "When I was very young, my aunt discussed with my mother that I wanted to kiss and kiss. My golden lock was given to me by my aunt. It's just that at that time, my dad didn't respond. Later, my father was gone, and my brother was too young to support the family, so my mother went to talk to my aunt. It's just that the old lady in Nafu is extremely powerful, and her aunt can't control the old lady's thoughts, so this marriage has never been decided. It's just that my aunt swears by it, and my mother believes my aunt's words, so our family has lived in Nafu since the time we entered Beijing. At that time, my aunt had already entered the Buddhist hall, but the old lady was polite and hospitable. Our family thought that the old lady had agreed to this family affair, but because of my cousin's young age, she wanted to marry a few years later. ”

Liu Xianglian said: "What about later? Why did you move out again? ”

Xue Baochai said: "A few years ago, when my aunt was in the Buddhist hall, the old lady in the house was hospitable, second sister, I mean Jia Junjun was polite and thoughtful, so he was fine. But the eldest sister became the imperial concubine, and the aunt went out of the Buddha hall again, and there were more things. Because of the mistake, my aunt's private room is gone, and I love money more and more. not only grinded the old lady to raise money for the eldest sister's provincial villa, but also hit the Lin family's idea. The second sister couldn't get angry, so she took out the stones worth 10 million taels of silver, handed them into my hands, and gambled on my aunt's mouth, but because of this, I had a dislike with my aunt, and since then there has been constant friction over the matter of money. ”

Liu Xianglian said: "It was because of the money that you were separated from your aunt, and it was also because of the money that you wasted your youth?" ”

Xue Baochai nodded and said, "The matter of the provincial villa, the second sister has never touched her hands. There is no one in my aunt's hands, and our Xue family is responsible for everything. It's just that my mother's ears are soft, and my brother didn't do anything at that time, and there was no one around to support him, so I still do most of the things. And I also know very well that after my father's death, the family is not as good as a year, the counter is becoming more and more consumed, and the money in my hand is gradually unable to turnover. At that time, the batch of stones taken out by the second sister, even if I knew that it was bait, I had to swallow it. Our Xue family needs that batch of goods. Moreover, after the mother's mother, the second sister came to Daguanyuan for the first time as a guest, and she also confessed that when he took out so much money, he actually calculated me. My second sister and I know what happened before and after. ”

When Liu Xianglian heard this, she was relieved.

Since he wants to revive his family business, he is naturally a noble person who does not want to offend, and now I hear Xue Baochai say that offending Jia Jiu for the sake of those stones is simply a tacit understanding between the two people, and Liu Xianglian is naturally at ease.

Liu Xianglian said: "I heard that when you were in the Grand View Garden, you once helped Jia Baoyu do needlework, yes or no?" ”

Xue Baochai was silent for a while. Calmly told him, "Yes." I not only did needlework for Jia Baoyu, but also cared about his diet and daily life in every detail, and even put down my body to please his girl. Now think about it. At that time, I was probably crazy, thinking that by doing this, I would be able to move Jia Baoyu and ask him to say a few good words for me in front of my aunt. After all, at that time, I was not young, and the reason why our Xue family was willing to work hard for the provincial villa was because of the imperial signboard. However, the Grand View Garden was built, but there was no shadow of the imperial signboard. At that time, I thought. Even if the marriage fails, it is good to let the lady in the palace help say a word and get the imperial merchant signboard back......"

Hearing this, Liu Xianglian finally couldn't help it. Hold his wife in his arms. Said: "Don't say it, don't say it." It's my fault, I shouldn't have listened to a word from outside and asked you. Where is this questioning, this is clearly digging your heart. ”

Hearing Liu Xianglian say this, Xue Baochai suddenly burst into tears, and he said firmly: "Let me say." I have kept these words in my heart for a long, long time, and no one has ever wanted to listen to me. At that time. My brother knew about his aunt's kindness in supervising his studies, at that time. My mother believed my aunt's words, obviously I was a member of the Xue family, obviously I was my brother's sister and mother's daughter, but whether it was my brother or my mother, they just didn't want to believe my words. Not only did they believe it, but they also forced me to believe that my aunt would definitely let me enter Jia's house. At that time, for the sake of my family, for my aunt, and for the sake of Daguanyuan, I pushed away the only person who could understand me and be considerate of me, and offended. At that time in the Grand View Garden, I even suspected that maybe one day, I would be carried into the Grand View Garden by the family in a small sedan chair through the back door. ”

Carried in through the back door in a small sedan chair, it was a concubine.

Xue Baochai said: "Later, it was the second sister who helped me and sent my uncle's news to my ears. It was also because of my second sister that I persuaded my mother to agree with my brother to marry my uncle's cousin. It was precisely because of my uncle and brother that I was persuaded that our family was able to cut off contact with that side. Actually, when my brother came to find you, I was actually very scared, afraid that you wouldn't like me, afraid that you would look down on me......"

Hearing what his wife said, Liu Xianglian couldn't help but say, "It's me who is confused, and in the future, I will never ask you this again." ”

Xue Baochai cried for a while, and was also tired, so he actually fell asleep in Liu Xianglian's arms in a daze, but Liu Xianglian sat with Xue Baochai in her arms until dawn.

Liu Xianglian is a man in the end, and she is also a man who is more responsible and affectionate. He also heard about the golden and jade relationship, so he also believed Xue Baochai's words. In his opinion, Mrs. Wang has a tacit understanding with Aunt Xue, and she said the same thing as Xue Baochai, so that Xue Baochai firmly believes that she accepts the token of the Jia family and is a member of the Jia family, so it is not Xue Baochai's fault that Xue Baochai does needlework for Jia Baoyu.

Therefore, even if she is not able to adapt to some of Xue Baochai's behaviors, and can even say that she has a lot of complaints, Liu Xianglian still chooses to be tolerant.

Xue Baochai has such luck, but Shi Xiangyun does not have such luck.

The family that Shi Xiangyun married was surnamed Hu, and there were three generations of the family, so they cultivated such a show. Originally, the Shi family was kind to the Hu family, and the Hu family would not treat Shi Xiangyun badly. After all, such a thing as ingratitude, even if it falls on the head of ordinary people, it is enough to be poked in the back, not to mention that the young man of the Hu family is still a scholar, and he attaches great importance to morality or something.

It's just that since this Hu family Saburo is one of the only three talents in the village, and the only one who won the show before the age of twenty, it is inevitable that this peach blossom is more vigorous. Many of the young girls in the village like Hu Jia Saburo, and many of them even ignored the shyness of their daughter's family and asked the elders of the family to help talk about it, but who would have thought that this Hu Jia Saburo would get married.

If Shi Xiangyun was a beauty of the same level as Lin Daiyu or Xue Baochai, and let those girls be ashamed of themselves as soon as they stood out, maybe those girls wouldn't be so tormented.

But Shi Xiangyun's appearance is really not good enough. In the original book, it is clearly said that Shi Xiangyun is a crane leg mantis arm, and the specific description is a girl with thin and long legs, thick arms, and a very uneven figure. Shi Xiangyun walked out, except for the style raised in the Prince's Mansion, it can be said that Shi Xiangyun is not the best in terms of appearance or figure, and even the outstanding girls in the Grand View Garden are not comparable. Not to mention that there are several girls in the village, and in terms of appearance, they are not inferior to Shi Xiangyun.

These girls were unwilling to marry a strange woman in the Hu family, so they had to inquire about one or two, so they naturally inquired about the affairs of the Shi family clearly. And then the gossip came out. Many women have sex with Shi Xiangyun's parents-in-law and concubines, and even ridiculed Shi Xiangyun in front of Shi Xiangyun, saying that Shi Xiangyun is obviously a family member of a sinner, and he is so arrogant.

If Shi Xiangyun had Xue Baochai's tactfulness, and if Shi Xiangyun had Lin Daiyu's patience, tolerance, open-mindedness and change, maybe things wouldn't have been so bad. It's a pity that Shi Xiangyun's temper has never been very bad, and his mouth is mean. Imagine that in the original book, he dared to compare Lin Daiyu to a play, and even bit back afterwards, thinking that he was bullied and making him go back to Shi's house, and before entering the Grand View Garden, Shi Xiangyun even offended several girls on Jia Yu's side.

Such a Shi Xiangyun is strange if he has a good temper.

In Shi Xiangyun's eyes, even if his Shi family is now down, his father is still the former Baoling Hou, and he is still Miss Gonghou. Therefore, when those girls laughed at Shi Xiangyun, Shi Xiangyun immediately fought back.

Shi Xiangyun's behavior made his mother-in-law very disappointed, and even a few of his concubines said behind her back: "She also said that she was a young lady in the Prince's Mansion, but she was like this, similar to the village women in the village who didn't know a few words." ”

After Shi Xiangyun learned about it, he immediately said: "Is it difficult, just because I know a few words, when others spit on me, I should endure it?" ”

A few of the concubines immediately stopped talking.

This village is so big, the people in the village are all kissing, Shi Xiangyun scolded those girls in the village, why didn't he scold the relatives of the Hu family? Even Shi Xiangyun's mother-in-law has no face. It's just that the Shi family is kind to the Hu family in the end, and Shi Xiangyun's father-in-law can't count this daughter-in-law or anything, so he has to ask his wife to restrain Shi Xiangyun and not let Shi Xiangyun go outside every once in a while.

Shi Xiangyun is extroverted by nature and is the one who likes to be lively the most, but after marrying into the Hu family, not only did he not even have anyone to talk to, but now, even going out is forbidden.

The depression in Shi Xiangyun's heart can be imagined.

It was at this time that rumors about Jia Baoyu, Xue Baochai, and Shi Xiangyun spread to this remote village. At this moment, the people in the village have become fair judges, and those village women all think that they are jurors, and think that they have the right to characterize Shi Xiangyun as an unchaste woman or a morally corrupt woman, and they all came to the door to ask the Hu family to dispose of Shi Xiangyun.

But the historian is kind to the Hu family, where is the Hu family willing to do this? In the end, it was the father of the Hu family who made the decision and locked Shi Xiangyun in the house. (To be continued......)
