Chapter 15:39 Breakdown
Shi Xiangyun originally thought that his words would definitely attract the attention of the elders, at least, Jia Mu would see his grievances. But he forgot that in the Jia family, everyone has a pair of snobbish eyes. Even if Jia's mother loves Lin Daiyu when she faces her, she never forgets to estimate the possible benefits that Lin Daiyu may bring.
When Lin Daiyu has no interests or not enough interests, Jia's mother can't even tolerate Lin Daiyu's filial piety for her parents. To be honest, Jia Mu is not as good as Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, Jia Qing, and Lin Daiyu to Lin Daiyu. At least, when the three of them faced Lin Daiyu, they still had a little sincerity, and they didn't care about any gains and losses.
In contrast, how could Shi Xiangyun, who had both parents dead and relied on his uncle and aunt to live but offended his uncle and aunt, how could he get into the eyes of Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang? You must know that when Mrs. Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang choose a wife for Jia Baoyu, the first thing to see is how much benefit the woman can bring to Jia Baoyu. With a girl like Shi Xiangyun, who is almost impossible to bring benefits, she can't enter the eyes of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang at all.
Shi Xiangyun has always been spoiled, and he can't think of things like this at all, and he won't think about it. He hates Lin Daiyu who took away Jia Baoyu's attention, and Lin Daiyu who took away Jia's mother's care, but he never thinks about the reasons behind it.
He didn't know what the reason behind Mother Jia loved Lin Daiyu, and he didn't know what the reason behind Mrs. Wang's attention to Lin Daiyu was. On the contrary, it was Xue Baochai, because he had more eyes, so even if he knew that Lin Daiyu was a big enemy, he didn't dare to easily say that Lin Daiyu was not in front of the elders, but just hid behind his back. provoked Shi Xiangyun to make trouble. Just like these two times. These two times, every time Jia Jiu came, Shi Xiangyun would squeeze out Lin Daiyu openly and secretly. Xue Baochai spent a lot of effort to make Shi Xiangyun's trusted and trusted maid-in-law talk to Shi Xiangyun for many days, which led to Shi Xiangyun's dislike of Lin Daiyu.
Because Xue Baochai has done a good job, even if he is investigated, it is just a few girls talking behind his back, and it is none of his business at all.
Xue Baochai himself knows such a means. can't pass the test in front of Mrs. Jia Muwang and Jia Jiu. But he doesn't need to pass in front of Mrs. Jia Muwang, he just needs Shi Xiangyun to die by himself and make himself a candidate for Jia Baoyu's wife.
These things. It's not that Jia Baoyu doesn't understand. Especially after the incident of the You family, Jia Baoyu, who has always been like a child who has not grown up under the pampering of Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang, has also grown up rapidly. Although the attacker is not the girl who has been with Jia Baoyu for the longest time. But she is definitely the girl who has the deepest influence on Jia Baoyu. Once upon a time. Jia Baoyu recalled that when he attacked people, he felt good about him. But after the You family's affairs, pay attention to Tan Yun and Qi Fei on weekdays, and compare them with the old things of the attacker, and the already unstable virtuous appearance of the attacker is naturally not at all.
It can be said that in the past, Jia Baoyu thought about attacking people, and now Jia Baoyu dislikes him. The idea of love in the past was before the two lives of the lovely people. It's like fly ash, it's worn away.
And Shi Xiangyun, who recommended the raider to Jia's mother and was also good friends with the raider. The image in Jia Baoyu's heart also has an extra layer of haze. Now, Lin Daiyu didn't come, and Shi Xiangyun was like this in front of the elders, which made Jia Baoyu even more upset.
Jia Baoyu has always been a face control, the higher the appearance of the girl, the better the image of the girl here, but Shi Xiangyun's appearance is not even comparable to Tanchun, and now it is like this, which makes Jia Baoyu feel annoying. In contrast, because the people in the Grand View Garden knew that they were receiving Xue Baochai, or the Xue family's silver, not only did the people in the garden obey Xue Baochai, but even Jia Baoyu felt a little indebted to Xue Baochai, so his disgust for Xue Baochai was much less than in the original book.
It's just that Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu have been in love since childhood, and Jia Baoyu is unwilling to give Shi Xiangyun no face in front of the elders, so he has to turn his head and ask Jia Jiu: "It's hard for the second sister to remember him." I used to be ignorant, thinking that he was good, but now I know that he is not good. ”
Jia Jiu smiled and said, "Could it be that in your eyes, I am just a person who cares about a girl?" The old lady took the attack on people, it turned out that she was attacking people for filial piety, and she couldn't bear to starve to death and sell herself to come to our house. It's a pity that this girl is too filial and it's not good. Not to mention the money for selling his body for ten taels of silver, he also got a mountain of gold. His family originally relied on selling people to be able to change a bite of food, but how long did he serve Baoyu? There is a house and land at home. I don't know, but they are the rich people with deep roots in the suburbs of Beijing! Just pity Baoyu, dozens of catties of gold and silver every year, after looking at it twice, it is gone, not to mention, not even the monthly money. It's also a shame that the attackers went out early, if you stay until now, Baoyu goes out to make a few friends, but she can't even afford to invite a host, and if you say it, it's a small loss of face, I'm afraid that some people think that Baoyu is a small family and wants to take advantage of them, or simply think that Baoyu is not really befriending them, then it's not good. If you get into trouble with a cautious eye and make trouble behind your back, I'm afraid it will get worse and worse. ”
Mrs. Wang used to have a little knot in her mind about the attack, but now when she heard Jia Jiu say this, she said it was very true.
Although it is said that the attacker was cleaned up by Mrs. Wang herself, but before that, the rough and stupid appearance of the attacker was indeed the most popular among the several big girls in Jia Baoyu's house. In addition, it was Jia Jiu who squeezed Mrs. Wang at the beginning, forcing Mrs. Wang to clean up the attacker, and in the past few years, Mrs. Wang has seen the mess in Jia Baoyu's house, and she has missed the attacker more and more.
This idea, as time went by, with Tan Yun and Qi Fei's carelessness, and with the increasing arrogance of the spoiled girls in Jia Baoyu's house, it lingered in Mrs. Wang's mind.
In recent days, Mrs. Wang even thinks that it is good to have such a person as an attacker. At least I can help him manage Jia Baoyu. As for the attack and theft, in Mrs. Wang's opinion, it was just a matter of a few taels of silver, and it was obviously the son who was more important than the son.
But now, listening to Jia Jiu, there is such a person as attacking people, which may cause Jia Baoyu to offend people, and Mrs. Wang can't help but consider the consequences.
Mrs. Wang is also very clear. What kind of character is his son, to put it mildly, he can't write at all. Whether it is the imperial examination or the martial arts examination in the future. Or go to the battlefield, Jia Baoyu can't succeed. Jia Baoyu's most suitable and easiest way to go up is to rely on his face, let the nobles appreciate him, give him a petty official, enter the officialdom in this way, and then go up step by step.
Not more now than before. When I was in the Rongguo Mansion before. In the past, when Wang Ziteng was favored in Beijing again, Jia Baoyu's future was just a matter of Wang Ziteng's words. But now, Wang Ziteng has become a commoner. Jia Yuanchun is just a concubine with an unjustifiable name, even if Mrs. Wang slaps her swollen face and becomes fat, he doesn't dare to expect Jia Baoyu's official position to fall from the sky.
Under such circumstances, it is even more hateful to attack a girl like Jia Baoyu who manages Jia Baoyu's money bag to death.
As Mrs. Wang's own sister. Aunt Xue knew very well what Mrs. Wang was thinking. I also know very well what Mrs. Wang is. He immediately said: "No, this girl is still used to it at home." If you buy it outside, it's always uneasy. ”
Aunt Xue knows very well how much money she has spent on Mrs. Wang and Jia Yuanchun, and Aunt Xue also knows very well what kind of price Mrs. Wang's calculations have cost her daughter. Therefore, the position of Jia Baoyu's wife, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai's mother and daughter will never give up. It is precisely because you can't give up. So Aunt Xue or Xue Baochai. Naturally, I don't like a girl like Raider.。
They spent so much money, is it just to let Xue Baochai marry Jia Baoyu and live a life of a beautiful concubine? Don't be funny.
Shi Xiangyun was pinched by the attacker, this is Shi Xiangyun's black history, Shi Xiangyun doesn't like others to make fun of his black history, but on the other hand, Shi Xiangyun also hates Aunt Xue. In Shi Xiangyun's opinion, Xue Baochai can be so majestic that the girls and mothers-in-law in the Grand View Garden listen to him because of Mrs. Wang's relationship. Therefore, hearing Aunt Xue speak, Shi Xiangyun's heart was extremely uncomfortable.
Shi Xiangyun frowned and said, "Attacking people is greedy, it's just greedy for a little money." Unlike some people, greed is a mountain of gold and silver. The second sister's batch of stones, how can she get 10 million taels of silver if you change people? It's enough to build two grand view gardens. Second sister, you are too soft, you patronize and look at the treasure jade house, and you don't look at yourself. ”
As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent.
Jia Jiu almost gave tens of millions of taels of silver to the Xue family, which is a well-known thing in the Jia family. But the fact is that no one in the Daguan Garden today mentions how much wealth Jia Jiu has, but they all stutter Xue Baochai, but it seems that the Xue family has become the first in the four families of Jia Shiwang and Xue.
Originally, Xue Baochai, who competed with Shi Xiangyun for Jia Baoyu, was not liked by Shi Xiangyun, but now that he has a chance, how can he not say it?
The people in the room are not stupid, of course they know the real purpose of Shi Xiangyun saying this at this time.
Not to mention Aunt Xue and Mrs. Jia's mother above, some of the girls in the house came from the city with Mother Jia, and some came from Mrs. Wang's side.
Most of the girls in Jia's mother's house were trained in the mansion of the Marquis of Rongguo, or they were trained by Ya Po, who had a good reputation in Beijing. But the girls on Mrs. Wang's side are miscellaneous. Some of them were brought out by Mrs. Wang herself, and more of them were trained by Xue Baochai when she was building the Grand View Garden, while preparing for various matters of the Grand View Garden, and buying little girls to train them.
The daughters of the Zhuang family are worthless, and some people drown directly after giving birth to their daughters, and those who have a better heart are thrown outside, and it is not known whether they were picked up or dragged away by wild dogs.
When Xue Baochai was preparing to build the Grand View Garden, he imagined that the houses in the Grand View Garden were to be kept vigil, and the flowers and trees in the garden were also to be taken care of, so that the daughters of the Zhuang family would be better, bold, and would do farming. Moreover, it is cheaper to buy directly from the dealer than from Yapo. Just like the attacker, when Ya Po received it, it was just a few pennies, and after three or five months of training, it was sold for ten taels of silver as soon as it changed hands.
With such a big price difference, Xue Baochai was of course unwilling to let Ya Po earn it. He bought it directly from the dealer, the cheapest one was a few dollars, and the most expensive one did not exceed three times. These little girls gathered together, worked and trained at the same time, and finally assigned to various errands.
The same is true of the servants.
These girls and servants were all raised by the Xue family, and they were instilled with the idea that what they eat is the Xue family's silver. Therefore, these girls and servants listen to Xue Baochai. Even if Mrs. Wang was waiting in the house, if there was anything about Xue Baochai, they would inform Xue Baochai first.
In this way, Xue Baochai's control has greatly increased. Even what Mrs. Wang said, it may not be as useful as Xue Baochai, about Xue Baochai and the Xue family, those maids and servants will also inform Xue Baochai as early as possible and let him prepare in advance.
This is also the real reason why Shi Xiangyun is not going well in the Grand View Garden.
Because he had already fallen into Xue Baochai's calculations.
However, Xue Baochai was not indifferent to Shi Xiangyun's words. You must know that Xue Baochai is proud of his intelligence, no worse than the girls of the Jia family, because he has always firmly remembered that Jia Yu was divided into sects, and he did not count Jia Jiu in the branch of Ning Guofu.
In Xue Baochai's heart, Jia Baoyu and Tanchun Xichun are members of the Jia family, and Jia Jiu is from another Jia family, they are different. Even now, even Mrs. Wang can't help Xue Baochai, and sometimes Mrs. Wang even bows her head to Xue Baochai, but the original incident is still a thorn in Xue Baochai's heart.
Xue Baochai imagined more than once that if he had passed the test at the beginning, if he had firmly chosen Jia Jiu, would their Xue family's imperial merchant sign come back a long time ago?
But there are not so many ifs in this world.
Every time he woke up, saw the declining family plan, and then looked at the imperial signboard that had always been so far away, Xue Baochai felt more remorseful in his heart. What he regrets is that he made a wrong choice, and what he hates is that Mrs. Wang disregards her brotherhood and calculates their Xue family like that.
It is precisely because of this mentality that Xue Baochai has a clearer and more utilitarian heart when facing Mrs. Wang; It is precisely because of this mentality that Xue Baochai's desire to control became stronger and stronger when he was in the Grand View Garden. Whether it is the girls in the Grand View Garden or Jia Baoyu, Xue Baochai must be firmly in his hands.
Xue Baochai didn't want to make a mistake again.
It was Jia Jiu, hearing Shi Xiangyun's appearance of hating iron and steel, and couldn't help laughing: "Sister Yun, I have explained this matter so many times, why are you still holding on to it?" ”
Shi Xiangyun said: "What? Am I wrong? ”
Jia Jiu replied: "My sister is not wrong, it's just that I don't want to explain again and again." (To be continued......)
