If it was Xue Baochai who had changed from before, he would definitely follow Jia Jiu's words, count a few words from Xue Pan, and then shed two tears with Jia Jiu by the way, pretending to be pitiful and letting Jia Jiu pull them out of the Xue family. Xue Baochai has done this kind of thing in front of Jia Jiu not once or twice.

At that time, in the eyes of the world, Wang Ziteng was still the emperor's confidant, and as Wang Ziteng's niece, Xue Baochai was also so-so, and she could be regarded as a lady of the official family. But now, the prince has an accident, and the Xue family is even worse than before, so Xue Baochai can't do this. If he did, it would only be a joke in other people's mouths, and it would not help him and his family.

The more people are in adversity, the more they should raise their smiling faces, and only in this way can they climb out of the abyss, Xue Baochai obviously knows this. Not only did he have to climb up, but he also had to climb to a higher position, so that those who looked down on him and despised her would kowtow to him at his feet and beg for mercy. And the person in front of him is obviously one of the people who can help him achieve his goal. It's just that a simple exchange of interests can no longer be exchanged for what he wants.

Xue Baochai knows very well that the current Xue family, without him, can definitely only become a fish on the chopping board for others to slaughter. Whether it was his mother, Aunt Xue, or his brother Xue Pan, it was impossible for him to support the Xue family. It's just that his identity has been humbled to this point, even if he is already cheeky sitting here, if he uses the previous way to deal with Jia Jiu, then the price he has to pay is definitely much higher than before. Because in the exchange of interests, the price to be paid by the weaker party on both sides of the exchange is directly proportional to the difference in status between the two parties. This is one of them.

The second is that Jia Jiu doesn't care about the Xue family's things. Willing to exchange fairly, there is still a large group of people outside, waiting to gnaw a piece of meat from the big fish of the Xue family. Exchange interests with Jia Jiu. The Xue family did not have the qualifications to bargain, let alone deduct the price they should pay. If that happens, then the Xue family will lose all their protective umbrellas and become bait for others. If he, Xue Baochai, made a deal with Jia Jiu and paid a large price for it, such news would spread, even if only the second person knew about it, it would be very unfavorable for the Xue family. Because that's what it means. There will be more families forcing the Xue family to make deals with them, and then absorb more wealth from the Xue family. This will only make matters worse for the Xue family's current situation, and will even become the last straw that crushes the Xue family.

Hold the tea bowl. Xue Baochai sat in front of Jia Jiu dignifiedly, his mind racing fast. He was thinking about the topic with Jia Jiu.

Speaking ill of Xue Pan, it was okay before, but not now. It's the same as a millionaire losing 10,000 dollars. The millionaire lost 10,000 yuan. Oh. It doesn't matter, he still has 990,000, and the interest from the bank, the income from the stocks, and the dividends from the fund will soon bring him new income. In a few days he will be a millionaire again, and his assets will be even more. For the millionaire, losing 10,000 yuan is just a talking point for him to show off.

But if the millionaire's actual assets are only 100,000 yuan, then the banks will close the door to low-interest loans to him, and he can only go to usury. It is also necessary to prevent the occurrence of runs and face the harassment of creditors. If he is not careful, he may face the dilemma of bankruptcy. At this time, if you lose 10,000 yuan again. All of them will wonder if it is safe for their fortune to continue to be financially connected with him, so they will cut off their financial ties with him, and the former millionaire will go bankrupt as a result.

Today's Xue family is the millionaire with only 100,000 actual assets left, and Xue Pan is the 10,000 yuan. The previous Xue family could withstand Xue Pan's defeat, and the current Xue family can no longer withstand the toss.

So at this time, complaining in front of others that Xue Pan is ignorant, doesn't like to read, and angry with Mr. will only lower the evaluation of the Xue family and make others completely stay away from the Xue family. Now, Xue Baochai is going to talk about Xue Pan, and he can only say that he has become sensible after experiencing things, and he knows that he has shared the burden for his family, and he can't say that he is more or less worried about this brother in front of others like before.

As for Jia Yu's side, he either has an official position (Jia Lian) or a knighthood (Jia Yu and Jia Jiu, Jia Qian and Jia Qing). It's not that there is a decree (Mrs. Xing) on his body, not to mention that his identity is higher than Xue Baochai, but he is also the master here, if Xue Baochai dares to spit out a word between the words, then the Xue family is waiting to be kicked out!

Xue Baochai is even more unlikely to speak ill of Jia's mother, first, Jia's mother is the lady in this house, and she is also old, as a junior and a guest, of course Xue Baochai can't not respect Jia's mother. What's more, Xue, the dosage can. The Xue family was able to live in the Jia family because of Jia's mother's decision, that is, Xue Baochai herself was not bullied to the head, and it was also because Jia's mother reserved her politeness to him, even if the Wang family was defeated, Jia's mother still regarded Xue Baochai as an ordinary girl from a relative's family. Because of these reasons, Xue Baochai has always been grateful to Jia's mother.

As for Jia Zheng's side, firstly, Jia Zheng is the elder, and secondly, Jia Zheng is Jia's mother's most beloved son. Jia Zheng and Xue Baochai's father are serious brothers-in-law, and because of this relationship, the Xue family was able to stay in the Jia family. Jia Zhu is dead, Li Kun is guarding his son and housekeeper on the other, he is very tired every day, and there are old grievances in it, and he still has a little smile in front of Jia's mother, but when he turns around, he is in a posture of old and dead. Li Kun also knew that he had a difficult birth because of Jia Yuanchun, but Xue Baochai was Xue Pan's sister and Jia Yuanchun's cousin, so he was inevitably a little angry. His attitude, of course Xue Baochai knew, Li Kun didn't want to pay attention to him, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Li Kun.

The two Tanchun Jia Huan below have no ability, and Xue Baochai is only face-saving to them, as for Jia Baoyu - to be honest, Jia Baoyu is really not the ideal husband candidate in Xue Baochai's heart.

Xue Baochai himself also knew that the Xue family urgently needed an umbrella now, but it was impossible for Jia Baoyu to provide protection for him and his family, whether it was now or in the future. Jia Baoyu's father, Jia Zheng, has been swept away, and his mother, Mrs. Wang, is a sinner. The elder brother Jia Zhu is dead, and the nephew is young, and he doesn't know what the future holds. The younger brother Jia Huan is a servant and a son, and Jia Baoyu himself doesn't know how to grow.

If you change to someone else's family, as long as it is right, the child in the family has a new upbringing, even if it is a girl, she will already start learning the four books at the age of six or seven. The more powerful ones may have already finished learning the four books. But what about Jia Baoyu? He's still messing around on the inside. Those gentlemen were not angry with him, and they were not one or two, which was comparable to Xue Baochai's unsuccessful brother Xue Pan. Xue Baochai has been here for the past few years. He looked at it coldly, Jia Baoyu didn't even touch a serious book, and he only knew how to joke with the little girls every day, make them low, and tease rouge.

Such Jia Baoyu is not only not now. There is also no future. Xue Baochai is weird. It's just that because Jia Baoyu is the baby bump in Jia's mother's heart, Xue Baochai has to give Jia Baoyu some face, but Xue Baochai also has a rod and scale in his heart.

If Jia Lian is replaced, maybe Xue Baochai will cultivate the following feelings with him, but if Jia Baoyu is replaced, Xue Baochai is only dignified in front and behind. I can't wait to keep my distance from Jia Baoyu.

Xue Baochai is a rational girl, he can't look down on Jia Baoyu.

Even in the original book. For that golden and jade relationship. After experiencing the shyness and vanity at the beginning, Xue Baochai's heart was also resistant. He is different from Lin Daiyu, Lin Daiyu is reputation has been ruined by Jia Baoyu, and he can only accept Jia Baoyu, while Xue Baochai feels that he is not suitable for Jia Baoyu from a rational point of view.

It's just that girls have no autonomy when it comes to marriage. Otherwise, how can you talk about the marriage event, the parents' life, and the words of the matchmaker!

Even if he is as smart as Xue Baochai and as strong as Xue Baochai, he can only choose to accept it silently.

It can be said that Xue Baochai in the original book is also a very contradictory person, he rejected Jia Baoyu from a rational point of view, firmly believing that Jia Baoyu was not the ideal husband candidate in his heart, but his heart still hopes that someone can love him and spoil him, and hopes that there is still a little warmth in his marriage, rather than only interests, so he was attracted by Jia Baoyu's gentleness.

However, that was the consideration of Xue Baochai, who was approaching the age of twenty, and now Xue Baochai, he only had his family in his heart, and his heart was also full of reason and trade-offs.

Seeing Jia Jiu talking about the matter of Ning Guofu, Xue Baochai immediately felt that this was a good topic, and said with a smile: "The upbringing of children and grandchildren is related to the future of the family, how can this Dongfu not pay attention to it like this?" ”

Jia Jiu sighed and said, "It is because it is related to the future of the family that the eldest uncle of Dongfu will hand over the matter to Brother Zhen." But Brother Zhen's temper, where is he the one who will sink down to do things. For this reason, the eldest uncle of Dongfu was also very angry. It's just that the eldest uncle is also old, and he doesn't have such a good spirit, and those elementary school students are also difficult to manage, and the sixth old lady is an elder, so he can only put it on hold for the time being. ”

Jia Zhen turned out to be an unsuccessful person, and since the day Jia Jing handed over everything to him and avoided entering the Taoist temple, there was no suppression of people above him. At that time, Jia Jing could only shrink back because of some private things outside, and he couldn't take care of him, which made him feel that the world was the biggest, and he spent all day drinking, drinking, gambling, and gathering crowds.

Jia Zhen's temperament has been so bad that now Jia Jing is too lazy to pay attention to him. Jia Jing has already put his hope on Jia Rong.

As for the matter of this school, firstly, there are no people in Ningguo's Mansion who are studying at home, and secondly, Jia Jing also knows that his son is useless. If there is a first-class and second-grade official in the family school, it is difficult to say whether they can keep the status of this clan's descendant.

The position of the patriarch, although it is the power of the concubine of the long house, there is also a saying that the capable live in it.

The bad debts of the Jia family can be seen by anyone with eyes, if they have strength, then it is not strange to overturn the original patriarch and take the throne himself.

The serious masters of the Jia family want to call those slaves grandfathers, which is a big joke in the capital, and it is also a crime that Ning Guofu can't get rid of.

Jia Jing was also scared.

This kind of thing, whether Jia Jiu or Xue Baochai, they all know it, but they don't talk much.

They are girls after all, and for Ning Guofu, they are all outsiders.

Jia Jiu didn't want to entangle Xue Baochai more on this kind of matter, so he immediately changed the topic. "I heard that my aunt passed out last time. It doesn't matter, but it's better? ”

Xue Baochai immediately replied: "Let the second sister worry." Although my mother didn't say it, she really missed her second uncle in her heart. Partiality encountered such a thing, and my mother is also a little old, where can she afford it. After lying in the house for these days, I was able to sit up yesterday, and I was born to remember my uncle, and I was anxious to send someone to visit. Anyway, my uncle has already returned to the south with his family, so he is now sending someone to chase him. It's hard to catch up without a ten-and-a-half-day one. Moreover, it is now the end of the year. Even if there is something, it will have to wait until after the Festival of Lights. ”

Jia Jiu said: "That's not the case. ”

Xue Baochai looked at Jia Jiu's expression, lowered his voice slightly, and said, "Recently, I have heard that the Lin family is not very good, I don't know if the second sister has heard of it?" ”

Xue Baochai would ask. is also because he heard the mother-in-law below mention the Lin family, as if he had sent a letter to the Jia family. He thought that this time the Lin family would be the same as the Wang family. I'm going to be unlucky, so I came to ask the Jia family for help.

If you are unlucky, you always wish that someone was more unlucky than you, even if it is a person like Xue Baochai, it is inevitable that you will be vulgar.

When Jia Jiu heard this, he immediately sighed, and also said in a low voice: "Speaking of which, this is also our family's sorry aunt's house." If it weren't for the mess in our house. My aunt will not be implicated and demoted. Whenever my father mentioned it, he was always in a bad mood. The old man sighed, saying that he was sorry for the fourth aunt and the fourth aunt. Where is the official of Yangzhou Salt Patrol Yushi so easy to do? Who doesn't know that none of the officials above the Yangzhou Prefect's River and the Salt Administration have been doing it for a long time. It is rare for me to be re-elected for four or five years like this with my aunt. Since the opening of the country, this official in the salt politics has been able to count the slaps of a person like his aunt who is capable and trustworthy. Even from my grandfather's generation, this one Jiazi came, and my aunt was the first one. My father often said that my aunt was afraid that he would not be able to get down from that position. I heard that that position is the most boiling, and I don't know how long my aunt can last. I think my aunt probably knew about this in his heart, so he sent a letter to his father and prepared early. Who let my aunt have a son this year! ”

is that Lin Ruhai is capable, capable, and trusted by the above, his age is there, he is nearly fifty years old, and he is in the most dangerous and demanding position in Yanzheng, I am afraid that Lin Ruhai himself knows that he will not last long.

If it's a daughter, it's a big deal for him to find a family for his daughter, but he has a son, so he naturally has to prepare early.

The reason why Lin Ruhai would write a letter to Jia Yu is not difficult to guess at all.

In this world, no one can stay in the position of Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History for more than ten years, even if Lin Ruhai has this ability, reality will not allow it, not to mention, Lin Ruhai is not young, and his ending is only to die in the position of Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History.

Lin Ruhai is actually already preparing for his own death.

Xue Baochai's heart moved, and said, "Doesn't that mean that the girl of the Lin family will also enter Beijing soon?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "Who knows? It depends on how my aunt and father talk in the end. ”

"How's the talk? To put it this way...... Master Hou, this is ......"

Jia Jiu replied: "That's right, my father has already decided, and after Qingming, if there is time, my father will go to the south in person." The age difference between the father and the fourth aunt is a bit big, but when he was young, he treated the fourth aunt as a daughter with the first wife, and the fourth aunt left her cousin with this bit of blood, and her father was always at ease. I'm curious, my father never had a bad word when he mentioned the fourth aunt, and I also wanted to see what the cousin of the Lin family looked like. ”

Xue Baochai's heart moved, and he immediately knew that the matter of the Lin family's sisters and brothers coming to the Jia family was a sure thing.

He didn't know that this was just Jia Jiu's judgment based on the plot aunt, and he thought that the Jia family had some agreement with the Lin family, but this did not prevent him from making the same judgment.

Xue Baochai said: "If the old lady knows, she must be very happy." ”

Jia Jiu shook his head and said, "The old lady cares most about Baoyu. Although my aunt was demoted, the Lin family is a fourth-generation liehou, a scholarly family, and a century-old family after all. Baoyu seems to be used to messing around again, and he doesn't know how many things will happen in the future! ”

Hearing Jia Jiu say this, Xue Baochai immediately reacted.

Jia Baoyu is the most inseparable from beautiful sisters and sisters, the girls in his house want to be well-colored, smart and smart, and the older and faded mothers-in-law, Jia Baoyu is most disgusted with them being close. Don't look at Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun are very good. Every time he went to Jia's mother to say goodbye to Jia's mother, Jia Baoyu didn't give up Shi Xiangyun and circled around him. Shi Xiangyun's days in the Jia family are less than his own, and he and Jia Baoyu still see each other every day. The reason is not because he is more beautiful and has a better color than Shi Xiangyun?

If this Sister Lin comes to Jia Jiu, as long as his color is good enough, I am afraid that Jia Baoyu will have to stick it every day. Jia Baoyu doesn't care about these rules and etiquette. is better, Mother Jia doesn't like herself, and she doesn't want to see herself become Jia Baoyu's wife, but if she changes to Sister Lin, I'm afraid that Mother Jia will be determined to make him a pair with Jia Baoyu. With Jia Baoyu's temperament, such a family background, and such an upbringing, if you want to cling to others, there is only one way to ruin other people's reputation.

Xue Baochai can imagine the predicament that this Lin girl will face in the future. Obviously, this Lin girl is going to come to Jia's house, and she will only come to Jia's house to live after his father dies, the funeral is done, and the people are also buried in the earth. At that time, what he had to do was to keep filial piety for his father for three years first. I heard that this Miss Lin is the same age as Tanchun, three years of filial piety, and this Miss Lin is also thirteen or fourteen years old, so it's time to talk about marriage. With Jia Baoyu's identity, it is absolutely impossible to be worthy of the Lin family's girl. There is only one way to accomplish this family business, and that is to create established facts.

Xue Baochai can almost see it. Jia Baoyu broke into the house of the Lin family girl who was supposed to be filial piety again and again with the connivance of Jia's mother, and then was kicked out again and again by the Lin family girl. At that time, those minions of the Jia family would be instructed by the above to say that the girls of the Lin family did not know how to lift up, were mean and petty, and they were so unkind to Jia Baoyu, the young master of the master's family, and gave Jia Baoyu a look again and again. They will not mention the status of the Lin family as a filial daughter who should be filial piety, nor will they mention any male and female defense, let alone that Jia Baoyu is at fault first. They will only arrange the Lin family's girls again and again.

Poor girl of the Lin family, in front of her own grandmother, she still has to compromise and suffer from this kind of wretchedness.

Xue Baochai could even see that Shi Xiangyun would definitely try his best to squeeze this Lin family girl. I can't help but become a threat to her, this Shi Xiangyun has made an unknown number of stumbling blocks for himself behind his back. With Jia's mother's attitude and connivance, I am afraid that this Shi Xiangyun will properly think that this Lin family girl has robbed his beloved brother.

Xue Baochai has already begun to pity this upcoming official lady.

However, Xue Baochai will not talk too much at this time, he doesn't have the courage to sabotage Jia Mu's plan. So even if he knew, he would assume that he didn't know.

Xue Baochai asked, "Then did Master Hou say where he wanted to place the girl of the Lin family?" ”

Jia Jiu smiled: "Father has already arranged this matter. After the New Year, the Xiangxue Villa was built according to its original appearance, and then the Yuewei Thatched Cottage in the east and the Huangcui Dongfeng in the west were sorted out. Whether Sister Lin wants to keep filial piety and study or sacrifice to the ancestors, there is also a place. ”

Xue Baochai was stunned.

It is taboo to sacrifice ancestors in other people's homes, why is this county monarch not taboo?

However, Jia Jiu reacted first and said, "Oh, I forgot about it, Sister Lin is not from our family." Their family also has a house in Beijing, and if they want to worship their ancestors, they can go back. Both horizontally and vertically are in Beijing, so you might as well go out and come back the same day. It's just that there should be a place for these three incense sticks every morning and evening, don't you say? Sister Bao. ”

Where did Xue Baochai dare to say anything, he could only say yes. (To be continued......)
