Chapter 15:42 Coincidence
Just as Mrs. Wang expected, when Xue Baochai heard her mother say this, she immediately said, "Mom, you should have agreed to this at that time." ”
Aunt Xue slurred: "But, but, didn't you say ......"
Xue Baochai said: "If my aunt asks for silver, of course I won't give it, but if my uncle asks for silver, I will naturally not be stingy." ”
Aunt Xue said: "I'm just afraid that this thing won't be taken seriously." Otherwise, why didn't your uncle write to me first? Why didn't your aunt tell me the moment she received the letter, but called me two or three days later? ”
Xue Baochai was stunned for a moment, stood up, walked around the room twice, and said, "This can't be guarded against." Yesterday, Sister Yun still said that when he went to ask his aunt to say goodbye, he overheard it. also talked about Sister Feng. The second sister was also there at that time, because of Baoyu's words, the second sister also lost her temper with the boss. It's about Sister Feng's case...... Forget it, this is also an old thing a few years ago, maybe someone told my aunt, and my aunt only found out. Why don't we send someone to the south to inquire first, and then make plans. ”
When Aunt Xue heard this, her heart moved, and she said, "Didn't your brother go to the south to sell goods?" The embroidery in Suzhou and the sandalwood fan in Hangzhou are all good things. If you want to go to these two places, you have to pass through Jinling. Why don't you wait until your brother comes back? ”
Xue Baochai thought for a while and said, "If you wait for my brother to come back, it will be too late." Mom, let's send someone to the south to ask, and I'll beg my second sister for a favor. This thing. You can't drag it. ”
Aunt Xue was worried about her brother in the end, and she was relieved to see her daughter say this.
Xue Baochai pondered all night. found that no matter whether it was himself or Mrs. Wang, if he wanted to help Wang Ziteng, he would have to pass Jia Jiu's side, and his heart couldn't help beating the drum.
Xue Baochai is not a party, and the Xue family has no one in the court, so he has a certain understanding of Wang Ziteng's derogation. He couldn't have known everything about the past and back. What Xue Baochai can know is nothing more than the minions of the Jia family. How much of this is true and how much is false. How much is added by others, it depends on which person Xue Baochai sent to investigate, and whose mouth he asked.
Anyway, the news that Xue Baochai got in the end must be different from the real situation. Xue Baochai also got the news from his past. and Jia Jiu's reaction was faintly inferred. If you want to be ordinary for your uncle, you have to pass not only the emperor's pass, but also Jia Jiu's pass.
Xue Baochai is very aware of Wang Ziteng's benefits, and he also has some understanding of Jia Jiu's energy. Don't say anything else, let's just say that those palace people in the palace, which one doesn't think of this Jia Junjun's good?
How could Jia Jiu not be from Mrs. Jia Zhengwang's side, let alone live in the Grand View Garden. He just wanted to come to the Grand View Garden, and he also accompanied Jia's mother to sit. And it's all on the same day. Coincidentally, Jia Jiu had only come to Daguanyuan once before. If you want to see Jia Jiu again next time, I'm afraid it will be a month later.
Xue Baochai has been able to get to where he is today, relying on meticulousness. He was always able to arrange everything in a subtle and silent way. It is this ability that makes Mrs. Wang helpless him.
But today, Xue Baochai had a headache.
Xue Baochai was originally an extremely smart person, how could he not know that he had been calculated? If Mrs. Wang had told him about this earlier, wouldn't she be afraid that he wouldn't talk to Jia Jiu? But Mrs. Wang hid it from him on the one hand, and let Shi Xiangyun know about it on the other hand. As a result, Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu made Jia Jiu angry, at this time, wouldn't it be even more difficult to help Wang Ziteng and let Jia Jiu raise his noble hand?
Xue Baochai couldn't help but suspect that Mrs. Wang didn't take Wang Ziteng's brother seriously at all, so she did it on purpose.
What's more, Mrs. Wang can not care about Wang Ziteng's brother, but he Xue Baochai can't care about this uncle. It's just that being made by Mrs. Wang like this, the prince's recovery has added a layer of difficulty, not to mention, he Xue Baochai was also cheated by Mrs. Wang. At that time, it will be their Xue family who will contribute money and efforts, but there will be no benefits at all, and they will not be hated by this uncle, thinking that their Xue family is deliberately delaying. It's just that this kind of thing can't be explained yet, and it will only get darker and darker.
And as long as Mrs. Wang sits back and enjoys her achievements, Wang Ziteng has not recovered, and Mrs. Wang does not have to spend any favors and money, Wang Ziteng has recovered, and the person who has won Wang Ziteng's gratitude is still Mrs. Wang.
Xue Baochai, who figured out the joints, almost crushed his mouth full of silver teeth.
Only then did he understand that although he said that he had mastered the Grand View Garden, although he said that Mrs. Wang needed her own money and couldn't help herself, Jiang was still old and spicy, and Mrs. Wang didn't take it seriously with her before, so she was only a little girl, who was confused by a momentary victory, so she fell into the trap of Mrs. Wang.
With such a conclusion, Xue Baochai couldn't help but think differently, if the prince ascended, would it be good for himself and his family.
This is something that must be figured out first.
Businessmen, since they have input, they naturally have to talk about returns. Xue Baochai admits that he is not Jia Jiu, and he can't be disdainful of tens of millions of taels of silver. The only person who can treat Jinshan and Yinshan as a thing is Jia Jiu's height, and he Xue Baochai is far from reaching it.
Xue Baochai must first figure out that if Wang Ziteng goes up and gets more benefits, it will be Mrs. Wang or himself. If the prince ascends, and he only cares about Mrs. Wang and completely ignores him Xue Baochai and their Xue family, then Mrs. Wang will have more and greater energy to squeeze out their Xue family. This is something that Xue Baochai cannot tolerate.
Therefore, Wang Ziteng's attitude is very important.
There is another thing that has been in Xue Baochai's heart for a long time, and that is the backing of the Xue family......
Xue Baochai knew very well that although the Xue family was one of the four major families in Jinling, it was actually just the money bag of the other three families. But even if he made the money bags of the other three families, because of the care of the powerful, the Xue family still benefited.
Xue Baochai was carefully raised by his father, when his father was alive. What the Xue family looked like, Xue Baochai remembered it clearly.
Before the Xue family entered Beijing, Xue Baochai regarded Mrs. Jia Zhengwang as his backer. At that time. Mrs. Wang is the lady in charge of Rongguo Mansion, and the posts of Rongguo Mansion are in the hands of Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang's words are even more useful than Jia Yu, a serious lord, so Xue Baochai didn't take Jia Yu in his eyes at the beginning. Even if Jia Jiu sued the royal court and Mrs. Wang was imprisoned in the Buddhist hall, Xue Baochai still looked down on Jia Yu and thought that Jia Yu was useless.
This emotion has always been hidden in Xue Baochai's heart. Even if Jia Yu got up later. In Xue Baochai's heart, Jia Yu is still relying on his daughter's waste. This made Xue Baochai contempt and jealousy.
It is the Jia family that is despised, and it is useless to have so many men in the family. It's Jia Jiu who is jealous, but it's just a girl from a prince's mansion, and she's still a concubine, but it's because she's Jia Yu's only daughter. There are constant invitations. Even the palace looked at it highly.
In Xue Baochai's opinion, Mrs. Jia Zhengwang will fall, not because they are calculating Jia Yu's family. You must know that Mrs. Jia Zhengwang has not lived in Rongxi Hall for a day or two, and Mrs. Wang has been socializing everywhere as the wife of Rongguo Mansion for a day or two. But the Imperial Observatory didn't say anything? The reason for this is only the acquiescence of the above. Xue Baochai believes that the downfall of Mrs. Jia Zhengwang is the same as their scenery, which is the meaning of the above. They are allowed to have a view above. So they are beautiful, and the top has to clean them up. They can only be unlucky.
And Jia Jiu is only here today, not because of the appreciation from above?
In Xue Baochai's eyes, the affairs of the Jia family, Jia Yu and Jia Zheng are nothing more than that. Xue Baochai didn't believe it in any case, Jia Jiu had the ability to influence a big war, in his opinion, this was nothing more than a battle between the Emperor Taishang and the current long live, so that the soldiers below had to use this extreme method to leave a root for their family. An Yuanwei's war has nothing to do with Jia Jiu, it is just the result of another competition between the Emperor Taishang and today.
Therefore, Xue Baochai was not afraid of offending Jia Jiu.
In his opinion, since the emperor took the Jia family once, he would open the knife a second time.
But Xue Baochai never thought that when he took out a large sum of money, no one was willing to be his backer!
At that time, Xue Baochai faintly felt that something was wrong. It's just that at that time, Xue Baochai just thought that he just broke the rules and provoked the eyes of others, and when the matter passed, there were always people who were moved by his money. But Xue Baochai himself didn't expect that it had been three years, and when those people heard their Xue family, they still shook their heads.
At the same time, there are more and more people who come to fight the autumn breeze and ask for bribes, so much that Xue Baochai has a headache. Xue Baochai discovered that Jia Yuanchun's signboard was not so easy to use even earlier than Mrs. Wang and everyone in the Grand View Garden.
In the past, Xue Baochai would be sad for Mrs. Wang's calculations, and regret because he had misseen Jia Jiu's energy, but now, Xue Baochai has no ideas.
He knew that unless he found a way to get back to Jia Jiu, he and their Xue family would be able to take care of him, and it would be possible to reverse the declining behavior.
Because of such thoughts, Wang Ziteng's matter is lagging behind.
However, Xue Baochai did not plan to follow the path set for him by Mrs. Wang, but got up in the middle of the night and wrote a letter to Wang Ziteng. He didn't know anything about Wang Xifeng, and he didn't know that Wang Ziteng wrote to Mrs. Wang to ask Mrs. Wang for help, but it was just a very ordinary greeting letter, just mentioning Wang Ziteng's biological daughter Wang Xiluan in the letter, and hinting that their Xue family wanted to marry Wang Xiluan for Xue Pan.
Xue Baochai imitated Aunt Xue's tone in the letter and mentioned that he believed in Wang Ziteng very much, and he also believed that Wang Ziteng's daughter would not be bad. Now that the limelight has passed, I don't know if Wang Xiluan has any family. If Wang Xiluan is still at home, can you consider Xue Pan?
After the letter was written, Xue Baochai said hello to Aunt Xue, and then asked people to send it out overnight.
It's also a shame that they live in the suburbs now, and they don't have to care about the access control problem in the capital, as long as they can afford the money, there are naturally people below who are willing to contribute.
Let's say that the prince returned to Jinling, relied on the money from the Xue family to buy a family business, and then relied on Wang Xifeng's dowry to marry his niece and daughter successively. Not long after Wang Xifeng got married, there was such a big incident, Wang Xifeng lost his life, not to mention, even Wang Xiluan was implicated and was divorced by her husband's family. What's more, Wang Ren was crooked from the roots, and when he saw that his uncle had fallen out, he always made trouble outside, saying that Wang Ziteng and his wife were deliberately trying to harm his sister. Wang Ziteng originally gritted his teeth and endured this nephew for the sake of his daughter, but he didn't want to, this nephew was getting more and more excessive, so that Wang Xiluan was so angry that he almost hanged himself.
For the sake of his daughter, Wang Ziteng gritted his teeth and endured it, and for the sake of his daughter, Wang Ziteng finally bowed his head to his sister, hoping that Mrs. Wang could help him.
Wang Ziteng didn't count on the Xue family, in his opinion, the Xue family had no energy after Xue Baochai's father was gone, Xue Pan was such a person, and Aunt Xue was still able to break with the clan, so when Wang Ziteng was thinking about the future, he really didn't think about the Xue family.
It's just that such a prince Teng was also angry when he received Xue Baochai's letter.
He said to his wife, "Look, this is my good sister, and there is no good for him not to scatter eagles!" If I don't agree to him, is he willing to contribute to me, or is he willing to contribute to me? ”
Wang Ziteng's wife Shi said: "This is the second sister's house? ”
Wang Ziteng nodded and said, "It's the second sister's house." ”
Shi: "Master, having said that, things have come to this point, what else can we do?" In the past, when the lord was in the limelight, how did the clan treat the lord? What has been the situation of living here for the past two years? Luan'er is pitiful enough. If you can really marry into the Xue family, at least you don't have to worry about food and clothing, even if you have a difficult sister-in-law, then you will be married in the end. Pan'er is a simple-minded person. If Luan'er can handle Pan'er and give birth to a child early, she will naturally not have to worry about it in the future. ”
When Wang Ziteng heard this, he could only sigh and said, "But Luan'er has been married after all." ”
When Shi Shi heard this, he had no choice but to say: "Then write a letter to ask." ”
But without waiting for Wang Ziteng to send the letter, Xue Pan actually came to the door first.
It has to be said that this is a beautiful coincidence.
Although Xue Pan is stupid and a little stupid, he is very affectionate. He felt that since he had left Beijing and had come to the south, he naturally wanted to visit his uncle and aunt. Therefore, not only did he come, but he also brought a few more decent gifts, (to be continued......)
