131 Bao Chai was frightened
The love of parents for their children is far-reaching.
Whether it is Jia Mu or Mrs. Wang, the love for Jia Baoyu is real. Their disagreements are only the result of the life experiences of the two people. But the two of them, their love for Jia Baoyu is pure. Of course, while Jia's mother cares for Jia Baoyu, she will also pay attention to the entire Jia family, while Mrs. Wang is more simple.
If Lin Daiyu has no brothers, Jia's mother will definitely match Lin Daiyu to Jia Baoyu, because Lin Daiyu no longer has a mother's family, only an identity and a family fortune. Marrying such a Lin Daiyu, whether it is the Jia family or Jia Baoyu, it will not be taboo from above. Jia's mother also believes that with Lin Daiyu's character, she will definitely be able to get Jia Baoyu's heart, and Jia Baoyu will also have a confidant lover and wife. But Mrs. Wang will not want Lin Daiyu, who has no father, no mother, no brothers, and no mother's family to rely on. Because, he knows very well that he has offended Jia Yu very much, and his daughter-in-law Li Kun is not the kind of compassionate virgin. If Jia Baoyu doesn't have the care of the Yue family, he will definitely be very bitter in the future.
Mrs. Wang also thought that if Lin Daiyu gave birth to a grandson like Lin Ruhai to him, it would be a good thing for Jia Baoyu. It's a pity that Jia Baoyu is still taboo from above, even if he has a grandson who can read, he may not have the opportunity to be an official. Therefore, Mrs. Wang's minimum requirement for her daughter-in-law is that there must be someone in her mother's family.
Therefore, in the original book, Mrs. Jia Muwang and Mrs. Jia have completely opposite attitudes towards Lin Daiyu.
As for now, Lin Daiyu has a younger brother, and the two little ones can't see it. But the big one, although it is a concubine, is very motivated. No matter who it is. As long as you have seen Lin Daiyu's eldest brother Lin Yu, you will think that although there are only a few children left in the Lin family, it is just a temporary silence, and when the child grows up, there will naturally be a day when he will soar.
Faced with such a Lin family and Lin Daiyu, Jia's mother hesitated. Mrs. Wang was moved.
Jia Mu was scared. He was afraid that Jia Baoyu's stone would become a variable, and he was afraid that after Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu got married, Jia Baoyu's stone would affect the Lin family. made the Lin family hate Jia Baoyu, and also made Jia Baoyu's marriage even more unhappy. But Mrs. Wang thinks that as long as Lin Daiyu's younger brother is out, Jia Baoyu will be her brother-in-law. Naturally, it can also be stained.
This is after Lin Daiyu came to Jia's house. The difference between Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang didn't know Jia's mother's hesitation, but when she saw that Jia's mother didn't do anything, only Jia Jiu arranged it, and she could only slander it in her heart. But Jia Mu's heart has been tugging.
Mother Jia is sincerely thinking about Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and the Lin family are definitely not as important as Jia Baoyu in Jia's mother's heart, let alone the importance of the Jia family, but when it does not hinder the interests of the Jia family, the interests of Jia's mother, and the interests of Jia's mother's sons and grandchildren, Jia's mother must love Lin Daiyu.
Of course, Jia's mother would not think that her own granddaughter was a bad one. But he was afraid. There is a way that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes. The son of the mouse will make holes. Lin Ruhai is extraordinary, if his son has his ability of seven or eight points. is destined to return to officialdom. If Jia Baoyu marries Lin Daiyu, the above will definitely suspect the Lin family, thinking that the Lin family will have different intentions, and Jia Baoyu will also return to the sight of the above, thinking that the Jia family asked Jia Baoyu to marry Lin Daiyu, which is a political investment. Use Jia Baoyu's marriage to find a helper for Jia Baoyu. Moreover, the more outstanding the men of the Lin family, the stricter the suspicion above will be. The final result was that the Lin family was demoted, and there was a disagreement between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, which finally caused Jia Baoyu's marriage to be unhappy.
This is also the real reason why Jia's mother has been hesitating, and she also acquiesced to Lin Daiyu's filial piety in the back garden and did not need to ask him for peace.
However, today, Jia Mu got another idea.
Lin Daiyu is the same age as Shi Xiangyun, but he is a little older, he is exactly twelve years old this year, and his eldest brother Lin Yu is two years younger than him.
There are always many unspoken rules in officialdom. Although the imperial court did not explicitly stipulate the minimum age for being an official, there is an old saying that if you have no hair on your mouth, you will not be able to do things well. In other words, if you get into the jinshi too early, you can only stay in the Hanlin Academy in the form of mascots, or accompany the princes and grandchildren to study, but you can't get any real power and promising official positions. After three years, there are new jinshi coming up, and the eyes of the world are also attracted by the new jinshi, who will pay attention to a yellow flower of tomorrow?
Therefore, if you want to get a good official position after the palace examination, you must not only be appreciated from above, but also age. There is a Tao that is thirty old Ming Jing and fifty young jinshi. If you want to attract the attention of the above, and not be regarded as a child by the above, in addition to the ability to deal with people and bearing, there are also minimum requirements for this age. You have to be at least twenty years old, even nineteen, to be able to play a game. Of course, there must be a certain amount of luck, the imperial court will not open Enke in the second year, and there will be no new champions, new science and new science and new science and technology to add to the blockage.
As for the Ming Arithmetic Department, because of the qualifications, this age can be slightly earlier, but not earlier than the age of sixteen.
In other words, in Daqi, the sixteen-year-old Xie Yuan will be sought after by the world, but the sixteen-year-old champion will not have a good future.
This is also the reason why Jia Lian was so conspicuous in the Ming Arithmetic Department that year. That year, Jia Lian was exactly eighteen years old, and even if he was taking the exam, he felt young, let alone being an official. So Jia Lian that year was really conspicuous among many candidates for the Ming Arithmetic subject. He has the help of the Zhang family, and someone behind the scenes, so it is not unusual for Jia Lian to get an official position or something.
The Jia family is a family of lords and nobles, and they are originally powerful, and the men of the Jia family can't read, which is famous. But the Lin family is different, if the Lin family wants to return to officialdom, then the sons of the Lin family must not go to the Ming Arithmetic Branch, but can only enter the Shike.
In other words, no matter how powerful Lin Yu is, he can only wait until he is twenty years old to take the palace exam. Only in this way can he get a good position.
As the eldest sister who has lost her orphans, Lin Daiyu will definitely not be able to marry before Lin Yu is admitted to the Jinshi. Luckily, Lin Yu was admitted to the Jinshi two years later, and the Lin family man should not marry early. I'm afraid that Lin Daiyu will be delayed until she is twenty-five or even thirty years old.
At that time, Lin Daiyu was only afraid that she was inferior to the old palace maids who came out of the palace. At least, the old palace maids who came out of the palace are still a little decent in the palace. But what else does Lin Daiyu have besides a younger brother who has just entered the officialdom and two younger brothers who are only in their early tens? When a woman reaches this age, even if she has more dowry, it is useless. If Lin Yu's daughter-in-law is a little worse, Lin Daiyu's marriage can only continue to be postponed. In that case, I am afraid that it will be very difficult for Lin Daiyu to fill the house for others, and maybe she can only become a monk.
Mother Jia thought that if he could suppress Jia Baoyu and prevent Jia Baoyu from getting married. Then when the brother of the Lin family comes out in the future, Jia Baoyu will marry the elderly Lin Daiyu again, which is also a good story. People outside will praise Jia Baoyu for being affectionate and righteous. And the brother of the Lin family will also be grateful to Jia Baoyu. In that way, even if because of this marriage, the Lin family's brother is suspicious from above, the Lin family will not be angry with their grandson. has a beautiful, virtuous and capable wife like Lin Daiyu. There is also a capable brother-in-law. Jia Baoyu has been comfortable in his life, even if he stays at home.
This is Jia's mother's attitude towards this family business, that is: I don't want Jia Baoyu to get married early, but delay it for a few years. In that case, the evaluation of Jia Baoyu from the outside will be a little higher, and for the sake of Jia Baoyu's good reputation but lack of ability, the above will be more tolerant of Jia Baoyu.
Jia Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Miss Lin is also pitiful. He is the eldest sister and does not say. The two younger brothers are young, waiting for the two children to grow up. is out of breath, but I'm afraid that Lin Yatou is twenty-five or six. ”
Mrs. Wang's heart moved.
He was reluctant to let Jia Baoyu get married too late. In Mrs. Wang's opinion, it is best for Jia Baoyu to get married early, raise a son early, and then when the son is older, he can rely on his son. If the son can't be an official, then he must also give birth to a grandson early, so that the grandson can raise Jia Baoyu.
As a mother, Mrs. Wang always hopes that her son can be smooth in this life, can lie comfortably to eat, drink and have fun, and let others take care of him. If Lin Daiyu had to wait until she was twenty-five or sixteen years old to get married, then Mrs. Wang would not have chosen him as her daughter-in-law.
Just thinking of the Lin family's promising child, and then thinking of the Lin family's huge family business and the property that Lin Daiyu may get in the future, Mrs. Wang felt that she should fight for it.
"Old lady, look at what you said, although the eldest girl needs to take care of her younger brother, she doesn't have to delay her marriage. If you meet a compassionate family, I don't think I will mind if the eldest girl continues to take care of her mother's family after marriage. ”
Jia Mu shook her head and said, "Although there are many such families, the situation of the Lin family is different from ordinary people. ”
It's not that the Jia family doesn't mind Lin Daiyu continuing to take care of her mother's family after marriage, but because the Jia family needs Lin Daiyu to delay the marriage for her younger brothers, so that they can get more benefits from it.
It's just that in this case, Jia Mu won't say much to Mrs. Wang.
He wasn't sure he would be able to convince Madam Wang, let alone that there were outsiders now.
It was just a few short sentences, and Aunt Xue didn't react, but Mrs. Li and Xue Baochai noticed it.
Lin Daiyu is just a stranger to Mrs. Li, but Xue Baochai was moved when she heard it.
He vaguely felt that compared to him, maybe Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang liked Lin Daiyu more.
Xue Baochai is very clear about the gap between himself and Lin Daiyu. Their Xue family is rich, but the shop has been losing money, even if they borrowed Jia Jiu's light this time and made a lot of money, they also offended Jia Jiu - although the other party did not show it. The Lin family is also rich, with nine million pieces of furniture and a net income of 200,000 taels of silver per year. It doesn't take too many personal contacts, and it doesn't cost too much, it's much better than their Xue family's situation. In terms of identity, he Xue Baochai is the daughter of a businessman, his brother is still guilty, Lin Daiyu is a young lady from an official eunuch's family, and her net worth is innocent, except for having no father and no mother, she is impeccable. Several brothers' families, the Xue family and the clan have also broken off, Xue Pan is an unsuccessful person, although the Lin family is thin, but Lin Daiyu's younger brother is obviously a promising child.
Pile by pile, piece by piece, Xue Baochai pressed his fingers all over his fingers, and he couldn't see where his advantages were.
Perhaps, as the old lady said, this sister Lin can't get married too early and becomes his only dead end. However, if the old lady intends to fulfill it and make an exchange, it is not impossible for Lin Daiyu to marry early.
Xue Baochai also began to worry.
Because the disparity in strength was too great, he was not sure in his heart, and this face naturally brought something out.
Shi Xiangyun immediately noticed: "Sister Bao, why are you sad?" Are you worried about attacking people? ”
Xue Baochai immediately came back to his senses and said, "Where is Sister Yun, since the wife has punished the attacker, it must be because of the wife." Moreover, as a girl, she actually gossiped about her master, and such a girl naturally couldn't stay. Neither the wife nor the second sister did anything wrong. ”
Shi Xiangyun was immediately unhappy: "But Sister Bao also helped the attackers do a lot of needlework." ”
Xue Baochai felt a wave of anger rise in his heart, and the corner of his eyes glanced at the elders such as Mrs. Jia Muwang and Mrs. Li, and saw that they were all paying attention to this, and the alarm bell rang in his heart, and he immediately said: "What did Sister Yun say." Anyway, I'm also a serious girl, where will I listen to the call of this girl? If you want me to say, the mouth of the attacker is so hateful that even the second sister can't hide from his tongue, let alone the third sister? I also saw the third sister embarrassed, so I helped the third sister share one or two, but it was not to attack people. ”
In the original book, the Jia family didn't let Lin Daiyu keep filial piety at all, didn't let Lin Daiyu keep filial piety for Jia Min, and didn't let Lin Daiyu keep filial piety for Lin Ruhai, so Shi Xiangyun dared to compare Lin Daiyu to a drama in public, and Xue Baochai dared to put down his face in front of Jia's mother, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai to embarrass Lin Daiyu.
But Shi Xiangyun is different. Shi Xiangyun is Jia's mother's niece and granddaughter, although she is not as close as Lin Daiyu, her own granddaughter, but Shi Xiangyun is standing behind the Shi family, so Xue Baochai can't treat Lin Daiyu like she beat Lin Daiyu in the original book, but can only talk about things through Tanchun.
He is not afraid that Tanchun will not cooperate. Because Tanchun is a concubine, and she is also a maidservant daughter, the future is in the hands of Mrs. Wang. As long as Mrs. Wang is Tanchun's mother-in-law, as long as he is Mrs. Wang's niece and daughter, Tanchun will definitely help him lie.
Sure enough, hearing Shi Xiangyun ask him, Tanchun really nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Yun, Sister Bao has always taken good care of our sisters and sisters." ”
Shi Xiangyun snorted and said, "I thought that only the second sister would take care of us." (To be continued......)
