Chapter 15:41 Calculation
If it is said that before You Shi's death, Jia Baoyu's contact with the world was a gorgeous and beautiful golden cage-like dream deliberately operated for him by Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, then after You Shi's death, Jia Baoyu began to see with his own eyes and think with his own brain.
Many things, in the past, he saw it and forgot it, but in fact, at that time, he didn't take it to heart. And now, looking back one by one, even Jia Baoyu himself can't help but hate the past self.
Just like Wang Xifeng, in Jia Baoyu's memory, she was a beautiful and radiant beautiful sister, and her appearance was not even comparable to that of her cousin. As a face control, Jia Baoyu is of course naturally biased towards Wang Xifeng. Therefore, before talking to Jia Jiu, Jia Baoyu didn't think about anything wrong at all.
After talking to Jia Jiu, she got Jia Jiu's answer, and Jia Baoyu remembered that this sister of the Wang family had offended her cousin, and her cousin had stripped off her beautiful coat, so that she ruined her marriage and affected her family.
Now Jia Baoyu says that he is sensible, but he has just begun to really contact the world, saying that he is not sensible, and he already has his own view of right and wrong.
Jia Baoyu didn't think it was wrong for her cousin Jia Jiu to defend her father and brother. Jia Baoyu has never been the kind of person who advocates righteousness to destroy relatives, and he hates those who shout for righteousness to destroy relatives, thinking that those people are simply exchanging the lives of their relatives for their own glory and wealth. He has always hated such people the most.
Jia Baoyu also doesn't think that cousin Jia Lian must marry his cousin Wang Xifeng. Jia Baoyu himself has reached his age, and he also knows that his grandmother and mother are having a headache for his marriage. As far as Jia Baoyu himself is concerned. He also didn't want a wife who looked down on him and had to discipline him from the beginning.
In this regard, Jia Baoyu has many similarities with Wang Xifeng's husband. At least, on the surface. They all like to joke with the girls, they are very close to the girls, and they want to be with them every day.
In Jia Baoyu's eyes, all the girls in his house are the best, and they should all be held in the palm of their hands. If they are kicked out, if there is someone in the family who loves them, it is naturally good; But if they can't be accommodated in their house. Who will pity these delicate girls?
Jia Baoyu pitied Wang Xifeng and was sad about Wang Xifeng's fate, which does not mean that he did not pay attention to those girls who were displaced because of Wang Xifeng. In Jia Baoyu's heart, Wang Xifeng is certainly not guilty to death. But he did hurt others. It's just that Wang Xifeng is Jia Baoyu's cousin, and he was born well, Jia Baoyu can't bear to say that he is not good.
However, this did not prevent Jia Baoyu from taking pity on Wang Xifeng. Just as he pitied the girls.
As for his uncle, Wang Ziteng. Jia Baoyu didn't think about it carefully.
Jia Baoyu was afraid that his father Jia Zheng was scared to death, but in Xue Pan's eyes, Wang Ziteng was obviously much more terrifying than Jia Zheng. Back then, Xue Pan, who had not yet entered Beijing, was uncomfortable when he heard Wang Ziteng and was afraid that Wang Ziteng would take care of him, but when Aunt Xue said that she wanted to live in Jia's house, Xue Pan immediately didn't care.
This shows the gap between Jia Zheng and Wang Ziteng.
As for Jia Baoyu, when Wang Ziteng was in Beijing, Jia Baoyu was not very old. Wang Ziteng has always treated him as a child, plus the relationship with that stone. Wang Ziteng didn't want to care about him, and Wang Ziteng didn't even see Jia Baoyu, so Jia Baoyu's impression of Wang Ziteng was very thin. His impression of his uncle's family was only two cousins and his aunt, and he had never even met his cousin Wang Ren a few times.
Jia Baoyu knows a little about Wang Ziteng's sins. Even if Wang Ziteng is Mrs. Wang's brother, even if Wang Ziteng is Xue Baochai's maternal uncle, the case back then was too sensational, and now, when someone mentions Jia Jiu, they will take this matter out. Therefore, Jia Baoyu, who occasionally goes to the market to bring something to his sisters, does not know what kind of character Wang Ziteng is in other people's mouths.
It was a ruthless, cunning and vicious character, completely different from Jia Baoyu's inherent impression of his uncle. Jia Baoyu didn't believe it at first, but after listening to it a lot, he slowly began to believe that his uncle should be the culprit who gave his mother ideas behind his back and wanted to kill his uncle's family.
How can Jia Baoyu not hate such a prince Teng?
It's just that the uncle is the uncle in the end, although it is very unauthentic to be a man and do things, but in the final analysis, a considerable part of the reason is for him Jia Baoyu, just like Mrs. Wang. Therefore, Jia Baoyu can't and won't publicly express his dissatisfaction with his uncle.
As for Wang Ziteng's letter asking Mrs. Wang for help, in Jia Baoyu's opinion, it is also very mysterious.
In the past few years, Jia Baoyu has seen how Mrs. Wang treated Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue, and it can be said that Mrs. Wang took the money but never did anything. Jia Baoyu doesn't think that in the matter of Wang Ziteng, Mrs. Wang will be an exception.
But in fact, it can only be said that Jia Baoyu is no stranger to his mother's temperament, but he is still too naΓ―ve and has too one-sided understanding of things.
When Mrs. Wang received Wang Ziteng's letter, she immediately invited Aunt Xue to come to his house, and the two sisters read the letter together, and then said to Aunt Xue: "Sister, what does my sister think about this matter of the second brother?" β
After this series of events, Aunt Xue had already been frightened by Mrs. Wang, how could she dare to speak easily? Although he had thousands of thoughts in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything more in front of his sister, so he had to say: "Sister, that's our second brother." β
Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "It is precisely because it is our second brother that I discussed it with my sister." β
Mrs. Wang glanced at this sister coldly. Aunt Xue is soft-eared and unassertive, she can neither teach her son nor restrain her daughter, the affairs of the Xue family are all in the hands of Xue Baochai, and Mrs. Wang knows all these things. However, Mrs. Wang knows better how much it will benefit Jia Yuanchun and how much it will benefit the Xue family if Wang Ziteng recovers.
Not to mention anything else, as long as the current emperor remembers Wang Ziteng's good coming, then Jia Yuanchun will not continue to live in the cold palace all year round. It is rare to see the emperor a few times, and the Xue family also has relatives from an official family, and his aunt and wife of the Wang family can also stand up in front of her mother-in-law and husband. At least it won't be like now, and you have to look at the face of a little girl.
Therefore, Aunt Xue is urgent, and Mrs. Wang is also desperate for her second brother to recover.
It's just that it is impossible to ask Mrs. Wang to give out the money.
Looking at Aunt Xue, who was hesitant and didn't dare to say anything, Mrs. Wang's brows furrowed. said: "Sister, you and I are sisters, and this matter is what our brother asked us to do." We don't have to worry too much. Others may not know, but we won't? It is said that the second brother holds the silver for himself, but we still know where the second brother needs the money. It's just that you want silver from above. Partial to our royal family is rich. provoked the eyes of others, which is why such a disaster was caused. β
When Aunt Xue heard this, she wiped her tears again and again: "That's not the case. β
As soon as the prince fell, their Xue family was like Optimus Prime had fallen, and all the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods came out. The Xue family's already depleting business has become even worse. When Mrs. Wang spoke to Aunt Xue for the sake of Daguanyuan, the Xue family's business was only two or three years old, even if the Xue family's mother and daughter were strong, they never softened their mouths, and they didn't say anything for the sake of face. But Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai both knew that at that time. The Xue family is only more than one million taels of silver. This is also why Xue Baochai can't refuse those stones of the Jia family.
It can even be said that if Jia Jiu only gave them half at the beginning, the Xue family would have taken the bait.
It's just that Aunt Xue or Xue Baochai, after going through the matter of the stone, they understood that their mother and daughter were hungry and not the material for business, and they could sell things that could be sold for more than ten taels, but they sold them cheaply. Therefore, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai dared to brag and put up a stand in front of Mrs. Wang, it was because Mrs. Wang needed their Xue family's silver, and Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai never dared to offend Jia Jiu, not only because of that batch of goods, but also because of Jia Jiu's energy.
Aunt Xue dreamed that their Xue family could have a backer, but now when she saw this letter from Mrs. Wang, how could she not be moved?
"It would be nice if my brother was in Kyori. Good sister, you have to make an idea about this. β
Mrs. Wang smiled slightly, and said in her heart, here.
"If my brother wants to recover, it is nothing more than two things, one is connections, and the other is silver. It's good to say that the connections are good, there is a mother, and our lord knows a lot of people, and there is always someone who can speak in front of the emperor. It's this silver......"
Aunt Xue immediately sat up straight.
He wanted to say that all the expenses here were covered by their Xue family. But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered that his daughter had said more than once that Mrs. Wang couldn't nod easily when she asked for money, and for a while, he hesitated.
Mrs. Wang, who looked at Aunt Xue like this, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said, "Sister, but what's wrong?" β
Aunt Xue said embarrassedly: "Sister, you also know." Our family is like that, and I and your niece and daughter are not business materials. After the death of your brother-in-law, the family's business has deteriorated day by day, and this money ......"
Mrs. Wang's face immediately changed and said, "Sister, should you forget, this is our own brother?" We're just one brother now! β
"But, but ......"
Mrs. Wang waved her hand impatiently and said, "Since I was a child, how many times has my brother taken care of us?" After my sister got married, how many times did my brother help my sister? Not to mention anything else, if it weren't for my brother, how could my sister be so comfortable? Brother-in-law doesn't even dare to have a concubine? Not to mention, how many times my brother has taken care of his brother-in-law's family's business, both openly and secretly. Has my sister forgotten all this? β
Aunt Xue shrunk her neck and said, "I, I haven't forgotten." But Bao, Bao girl said......"
Mrs. Wang snorted and said, "He's just your daughter!" As he spoke, he slowed down his face again and said, "That's it, you go back and discuss with Bao Yatou before coming back." β
Aunt Xue hurriedly stood up, and the sisters said a few words before saying goodbye. As soon as Aunt Xue left, Mrs. Wang immediately called the mother-in-law who was standing outside and said, "Did you hear me?" This is my good sister. My brother has come to beg us like this, and he still feels sorry for the idea! β
The mother-in-law hurriedly smiled and said, "Maybe the second aunt is really tight-handed." β
Mrs. Wang snorted and said, "What's the matter?" Haven't you heard about it these days? The tens of millions of taels of silver in my eldest uncle's house were all swallowed by their Xue family, so they spit out a fraction of it and built such a place in this rural place. β
The woman hung her hand and didn't speak, but Mrs. Wang clearly saw the other party's ears move, and knew that the other party had listened, so she immediately said, "That's it, my brother also knows me." Although I have some skills, but I was rejected by my superiors, and now I am still a white body. Since my brother wrote to me, I couldn't do nothing, but it was more difficult. Especially that second girl, it's really hateful. Although he is soft-hearted and capable, there are some things that he is easy to do without sticking. If you want him to come forward, you have to take a roundabout way. In this way, it is necessary to delay my brother's business. β
The mother-in-law listened outside for a long time, and when she saw that the rich Aunt Xue refused to give out the money, she was already cold-hearted, but now when she saw Mrs. Wang say this, she only thought that Mrs. Wang really wanted to help, and hurriedly said: "It's enough for Mrs. Aunt to be willing to help, where do you dare to ask for more?" β
Mrs. Wang said: "It was I who caused my brother to be tired, but now that I am making amends, my brother does not think that I am slow and have limited energy, which is already excellent." β
After saying a few more words, this mother-in-law went down.
As soon as the mother-in-law left, Yu Chu'er had the courage to change Mrs. Wang's new tea fruit, and said tentatively: "How does Mrs. plan to help my uncle?" β
Mrs. Wang said coldly: "There is a treasure girl." In this matter, Bao Yatou must be more anxious than me. β
Seeing Mrs. Wang's appearance, Yu Chu'er's heart sank, as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water from head to toe in the cold winter Layue. Yu Chu'er didn't understand until now that Mrs. Wang was just waiting to pick the Xue family's peaches.
However, in just two days, Mrs. Wang had already seen through this mother-in-law, and also let this mother-in-law know about the 10 million taels of silver, so she chose to discuss with Aunt Xue today, and then let this mother-in-law eavesdrop. As an elder sister, Mrs. Wang knows her sister very well, and she also knows Xue Baochai's mother-in-law in the Xue family, and even guessed how Aunt Xue would answer, so she arranged today's matter.
Moreover, as Mrs. Wang estimated, Xue Baochai would be more enthusiastic about Wang Ziteng's affairs than anyone else. At that time, the money was from the Xue family, and the power was from Xue Baochai, but Wang Ziteng's gratitude was definitely Mrs. Wang's.
This is Mrs. Wang's calculation. (To be continued......)
