Chapter 15:17 Consideration
Although it was Jia Baoyu's birthday, Jia Jiu still didn't stay long, and still left as soon as noon. In this regard, Jia Mu and Jia Baoyu both expressed great regret, and even Xue Baochai's interest was not high.
Xue Baochai wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Jia Jiu alone, but he never found time. Xue Baochai didn't know whether this was because the other party deliberately didn't give him a chance, or if it was some other reason.
After pitting Jia Jiu with so much money, even if the two of them had the experience of joining forces to deal with Shi Xiangyun and squeezing Shi Xiangyun into tears, it was not enough for them to regain their relationship.
However, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, after the banquet, did not rest immediately, but fell into thinking.
Jia's mother is an old man, even if she is a woman in the house, her knowledge and cultivation are very limited, and her vision is average, but his life experience still teaches him a lot.
What Jia Mu couldn't figure out was why Jia Jiu chose to join forces with Xue Baochai to squeeze Shi Xiangyun together, and taught Shi Xiangyun a hard lesson. After Jia Jiu left last time, Jia's mother only knew about this matter, and she lost her temper in private. But today, although this granddaughter is polite to that treasure girl, it is only polite on the surface.
Jia Mu can still see this idea.
Of course, Jia's mother knew that this granddaughter was polite to that Xue Baochai, but it was because Xue Baochai was Mrs. Wang's niece and daughter, but because Jia Yuanchun became the imperial concubine. It has been more than a year since Jia Yuanchun became a concubine, and it can be known from his words and deeds on weekdays that although Jia Jiu often talks about Jia Yuanchun, he occasionally calls him by his eldest sister and occasionally by his mother. But Jia Mu knew very well that it was just a few kind words. Although his little daughter-in-law is very proud of her daughter. But this daughter didn't take Jia Yuanchun's prominence seriously at all.
Mother Jia thought that this granddaughter had enough confidence in her future, but when the rumors outside were flying all over the sky, her little daughter-in-law came to tell him that Jia Jiu and Princess Changle were grinding mirrors. This granddaughter was still indifferent, and even Princess Changle came in person. This is tantamount to a public acknowledgment of their relationship.
But Rao is situation is so unfavorable, this granddaughter still doesn't take Jia Yuanchun's prominence seriously, which makes Jia's mother have to think more.
Jia Yuanchun's concubine, for Jia's mother, is a matter of glorifying the ancestors and glorifying the court. However, Jia Jiu's indifference and disapproval and the canonization ceremony that has not been held so far have made Jia Mu's heart rise with an ominous premonition, and this premonition has intensified over time.
Jia Mu has always known. If Mrs. Wang didn't make trouble for him, this granddaughter wouldn't pay attention to Mrs. Wang. Of course, I rarely talk to Mrs. Wang, even if I do, I also carry a gun and a stick, and I rarely speak calmly. But when this child faced Xue Baochai, he was not only kind and pleasant, but sometimes he didn't mind cooperating.
This attitude naturally made Jia's mother look sideways.
Does Xue Baochai really have this ability, or is his maiden niece and granddaughter too unsuccessful?
Although Jia Mu had decided to give up Shi Xiangyun, Jia Jiu treated Shi Xiangyun like this. It still made Jia's mother feel deeply embarrassed. Therefore, to say that Jia Mu has no mustard in Jia Jiu's heart, it is false. After all, Shi Xiangyun was disgraced. Jia Mu was just as embarrassed.
The mandarin duck was guarding the house in the mansion of the Marquis of Rongguo, and Brother Parrot and Amber Ruizhu followed over, seeing Jia's mother's thoughtful appearance. How are they not curious?
Jia's mother is old and likes beautiful and clever girls. So, in Jia's mother's house. Except for the stupid eldest sister, who is interested in making fun of it, the rest of the girls are all pretty and accustomed to figuring out their hearts.
Whether it's Parrot or Amber, they guessed a thing or two. Brother Parrot is cautious and won't export easily, but Amber is a heart. He took the opportunity of keeping vigil in the house to sit on the pedal to do needlework, but he didn't forget to talk to Ruizhu who was sitting next to him: "You said, today is a good day for Second Master Bao, why is the old lady a little sullen?" But is it because of Miss Yun's business? ”
Rui Zhu was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned her head to look inside, and saw that Brother Parrot was fanning Jia's mother, and Jia's mother didn't seem to hear it, so she turned around and lowered her voice and said, "Good and dignified, how did you talk about this?" ”
Amber said: "Although Miss Yun is a girl from the Shi family, she was almost raised by the old lady, and she has been a childhood sweetheart with Bao Er Ye since she was a child, and everyone thinks that Miss Yun will be in the position of Bao Er's milk and milk in the future." But now it seems that the second wife values Miss Bao more, but the second master himself prefers Miss Xing......"
Rui Zhu hurriedly covered the other party's mouth and said, "I'm going to die, where can we talk more?" ”
Amber said, "You don't know yet? Now the people in Bao Erye's house are about to turn the sky upside down. We know Tan Yun and Qi Fei, they have long had the idea of redeeming themselves, but now the people in Bao Erye's house are not tidy, and the second wife values them, so they can't leave. After a while, the people below came up, and they went out. The old lady and the second wife's heart for the second master of Bao, others don't know, will we not know? Anyone can be short of people around them, and there are indispensable people around the second master. There are only two or three people who want to go out, but I don't know how many people want to serve Bao Erye? I heard that those people in Bao Erye's house are making a lot of trouble for who can become Bao Er and Bao girl in the end. It's just that they're all slow. ”
Rui Zhu said: "Isn't this obvious? What is there to say? ”
Amber said: "You are really a wood, I have been talking about it for so long, and you still haven't reacted!" With the old lady and the second wife's heart to treat Bao Erye, Tan Yun and Qi Fei will go out in the future, and they will have to release people next to Bao Erye. You don't have that in mind? ”
When Rui Zhu heard this, she immediately reacted, took a sip, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!" I am the old lady's girl, so naturally I stayed by the old lady's side to serve the old lady. ”
Rui Zhu is not that kind of stupid, of course he knows that after Tan Yun and Qi Fei go out, Jia Mu will release people to Jia Baoyu's side. But he was also a calculating. He is now Jia's mother's maid, and Jia Yu is the eldest son. Of course, Jia's mother was served by Jia Yu, and she was carried with her. These girls who serve Jia's mother are also slaves in the mansion of the Marquis of Rongguo.
But what about Jia Baoyu? Although he has a concubine sister, he doesn't know how to be motivated. is a white body again, and his father is also a foreigner who can't see the hope of promotion. If you serve Jia Baoyu, I don't know how much this identity will fall. How is Ruizhu willing to nod? If he really wants him to serve Jia Baoyu, he might as well marry the boys in the Hou Mansion. At least, there will be a chance to become the housekeeper's daughter-in-law in the Rongguo Mansion in the future. But after serving Jia Baoyu, what good can he do? It's just a white girl.
Rui Zhu is a very realistic person. Of course he knows what is good for himself.
He's not stupid either. He listened to a lot of the private words of those mothers-in-law, and the news from all sides was gathered and then subdivided. Of course, he knows how difficult it will be to be motivated in the future with someone like Jia Baoyu who doesn't like to read. You must know that for thousands of years, there has been a late-blooming allusion to Dasu. And those who have similar experiences to him are rare in all dynasties.
Rui Zhu didn't dare to hope for this kind of luck, and he didn't dare to gamble on his own youth and a lifetime of happiness. If there is a day in the future, he will definitely find a way to redeem himself and then marry off. Even if it's marrying a farmer. The private house he has saved over the years is also worth hundreds of taels of silver. It's also enough to live comfortably for the rest of your life. Moreover, I have the experience of serving the old lady, and I also have some affection in the Hou Mansion, and there are people in the Hou Mansion in my own family. I am not afraid that those farmers will have the courage to bully themselves.
Ruizhu made up her mind to pay attention, so she refused to say more, and ignored Amber. I just keep my head down and do needlework.
On the other side, when Mrs. Wang returned to the house. was also stunned and sat out of his mind, and his four big girls, Jin Chu'er, Yu Chu'er, and Caiyun Caixia, all found that Mrs. Wang's mood was wrong. He acted more and more cautiously, for fear of angering Mrs. Wang.
"Weekly ......"
Mrs. Wang spit out a word, and then she remembered that her henchman Zhou Rui's family had already been cleaned up by the government, and the rest of his companions and henchmen had also been thoroughly investigated, and the guilty were also put in prison, and the innocent were also released by Jia Zheng. Now there are only these girls left around him, who are old people. Moreover, he is not young anymore.
Mrs. Wang lay on the couch, closed her eyes to recuperate, but she couldn't sleep, and her heart was heavy.
Xue Baochai is Mrs. Wang's niece and daughter, and he has been praised so highly by Jia Jiu, it stands to reason that Mrs. Wang should be happy, but in fact, Mrs. Wang's heart is only complicated.
Mrs. Wang likes Xue Baochai, yes, of course, because Xue Baochai is dignified, because the Xue family is rich, and because Xue Baochai is his niece and daughter, but in fact, Mrs. Wang doesn't value the Xue family very much in her heart.
He knows very well that Xue Pan's temperament, as long as someone hooks up slightly, he will get into trouble. At that time, the mother and daughter of the Xue family could only be slaughtered by Mrs. Wang.
It's a plain deal.
Therefore, although Mrs. Wang values the Xue family and supports Xue Baochai very much, in fact, he has no such plan, and asks Xue Baochai to be Jia Baoyu's wife, at most, to make Jia Baoyu a second room.
Mrs. Wang knew that the more she valued Xue Baochai, the more her mother-in-law Jia Mu would reject Xue Baochai, and even if she couldn't refuse directly, she would find a way to delay. At that time, as long as he pushed the boat down the river, he could push Xue Baochai to a dead end little by little. As long as he hangs the Xue family and Xue Baochai with his son Jia Baoyu and a bright future, when Xue Baochai is older, he can only choose to marry Jia Baoyu with the Xue family's Wanguan furniture.
Mrs. Wang knew very well the reactions of Mother Jia and Aunt Xue, so she made such a decision.
He'd already figured it out. Tell his son Jia Baoyu a good family matter, and when the new daughter-in-law enters the door, if she does not have children within three years, she will let Xue Baochai enter the door to make a second room in the name of the heir; Otherwise, when the daughter-in-law gives birth to the eldest son or eldest daughter and can't serve her husband, let Xue Baochai enter the door.
Horizontal and vertical reasons are easy to find. With Jia Yuanchun and filial piety, Mrs. Wang believes that she has the ability to pinch her daughter-in-law, just like he pinches Li Kun.
It's just that Mrs. Wang has not yet decided on the future candidate for Bao Er|Milk|Milk|.
He's a very realistic person. Since he already vaguely felt that it was impossible for people outside to marry his daughter, of course he chose among the people he could reach. And the first to bear the brunt is not Shi Xiangyun, but Lin Daiyu, who is the same as Shi Xiangyun, whose parents died.
Mrs. Wang only met Lin Daiyu once. Although the meeting was not pleasant, it did not prevent Mrs. Wang from evaluating Lin Daiyu: much better than the white-eyed wolf.
As for whether Lin Daiyu can beat Xue Baochai, Mrs. Wang has not considered it. The only thing he was worried about was Lin Daiyu's body. When he first met Lin Daiyu, Lin Daiyu happened to be in his father's filial piety, and after the whole funeral, even an adult can be tired enough, and it is natural that Lin Daiyu's sisters and brothers will look thin. After all, it's not that there is no girl who is as heartless as Shi Xiangyun.
Mrs. Wang knew that since Jia Jiu was under countless pressures and would rather lose tens of millions of property than do anything to the Lin family, she would not treat Lin Daiyu badly. Therefore, as long as Lin Daiyu takes good care of it, there will be no big problems in the future.
The only thing to worry about is that after the funerals of Jia Min, stepmother and Lin Ruhai one after another, Lin Daiyu may have hurt her foundation.
That's not good.
The reason why Mrs. Wang chose Lin Daiyu is very simple, Lin Daiyu's younger brother looks extraordinary. I'm still young now, and I may not have the time to soar into the sky in the future. It is impossible for his Jia Baoyu to marry a young lady from the current important minister's family, but he can marry the sister of a future important minister.
Just like Jia Yuanchun at the beginning, it doesn't matter if there is no return. If there is a return, that return will definitely exceed expectations.
Madame Wang is a very calculating person.
It's just that if you want Lin Daiyu to be his daughter-in-law, you must first convince your mother-in-law Jia Mu, and then do the work of getting Jia pardon, and you have to get over Jia Jiu's obstacle.
It's not an easy task.
Thinking of Jia Mu and Jia Jiu, Mrs. Wang was full of heart congestion.
He obviously also thought of Shi Xiangyun and Xing Xiuyan. It's just that Mrs. Wang really doesn't look down on Shi Xiangyun. If he had to let his son marry the girl of the Shi family, he would rather let his son marry Shi Xiangyun's cousin, even if it required his son to wait for another two years.
As for Xing Xiuyan, even though Jia Baoyu likes the other party very much, Mrs. Wang knows very well that if the other party is a smart person, she should keep a distance from her son. As long as Mrs. Xing is still lying there and does not get better, this family affair will not be possible. (To be continued......)
