Volume B Section 133 Baochai, Xiangling, Ying'er
Seeing that his sister stopped talking, Xue Pan thought that he had said something wrong, so he shrugged: "Sister, I don't think this Baoyu is a serious student, even if you spend money to get a prisoner, you can't pass the exam, I'm afraid it's also a silver for nothing, it's better to learn from my brother and me, and I want to be happy with that silver." ”
These words can be described as mean and true, but when I heard Baochai's ears, I couldn't stop sighing, and I was extremely hesitant in my heart.
The mother has already revealed a little meaning, that is, she wants to marry herself to Baoyu and let the two families marry.
Although I don't know what my aunt means, but now that my family lives in the pear fragrance courtyard of the Jia family, the two families are also very close, and the situation on the Xue family's side is also getting worse, so it is also a good choice to marry the Jia family.
This is why the daughter's family doesn't want to marry a man who can afford to stand up for the family lintel?
Now that this Baoyu has been reduced to the same role as his brother in his brother's mouth, how can this not make Baochai feel uncomfortable?
And she also had to admit that in some ways, Baoyu and her brother are similar.
They are all not motivated, they only know how to fight, and they all have to rely on the family shadow, maybe the only thing that Baoyu can be stronger than his brother is that his appearance is more likable.
But does the man's husband rely on his appearance to support the family? Come to think of it, it's all a joke.
And a too handsome and chic appearance can certainly win the hearts of girls for a while, but for a girl like Baochai who has a brother who is not successful, the family is facing difficulties, and she needs to think about her future, this is not even a consideration condition at all.
The range of girls in this era is so narrow, and Baochai has no more opportunities to meet other boys, and she is not allowed to meet other boys, in such a narrow circle, what can she do?
"Brother, don't say such things again, we are temporarily living in my aunt's house, and we have to abide by other people's rules, let alone gossip behind our backs." Baochai Zhengse said: "If my brother has that mind, it is better to worry more about the family's livelihood, the account sent by Uncle Zhang the day before yesterday, my sister looked at it a little, and there are some mistakes that need to be clarified,......"
"Oh? Sister, you know that your brother is a useless person, and you have a headache at a glance at this kind of affairs, so don't be embarrassed for your brother, this old dog has been in my Xue family for so many years, he has always been shrewd, praised up and down, and even said that he could entrust one party when his father was still there, why did he still make such a simple mistake, don't you feel that your father is gone now, and our Xue family is also a little bad in Jinling, and you want to come to test my family? ”
Although Xue Pan is muddy, he is not stupid, and he can still think of this one.
Baochai didn't expect that his brother could still think of this, and he was also happy in his heart, but his brother had no patience to take care of such tedious affairs, and he was a girl who had not been out of the cabinet, and it was impossible for him to show up and take the initiative to ask about such a livelihood.
Seeing that his sister's face was gloomy, Xue Pan also knew that he was afraid that his words had made his sister sad, shook his head, thought for a while and comforted his sister: "Sister don't be sad, the Xue family is a little worse now, but isn't there still you?" As long as you can marry a good family, you can let our Xue family have something to rely on, but this Baoyu is as useless as me, don't marry him, if the second room of the Rong Mansion is handed over to him, I am afraid that it will be ruined,......"
Baochai was even more unhappy in his heart, but his face became more and more calm, "In my brother's opinion, what kind of family should our Xue family marry to rely on?" Then it's better to ask my brother to think about his own marriage first, if he can marry a sister-in-law who can manage our Xue family's livelihood, wouldn't it be better than relying on other families? ”
"Hehe, my sister is joking with my brother, my sister is such a talent, my mother has not been able to find a good family for my sister, my brother is self-aware, so I can find a woman from a small family at will, as long as I don't care about my own happiness, everything is fine."
Xue Pan is very open to this aspect, as long as he doesn't care about his own happiness, everything is fine.
Suddenly remembering something, Xue Pan pondered, "Sister is not anxious, the last time I went to my uncle's house, didn't my uncle care about my sister?" In my opinion, I'm afraid that my uncle has made arrangements, but it's been more than a year now, but why don't I see my uncle mention it? ”
Xue Pan mentioned this, and Baochai's face turned slightly red.
To be honest, this is also the thing that Aunt Xue and Baochai are most puzzled about.
Previously, Wang Ziteng was so concerned, and even felt that it was not appropriate for Baochai to be selected, obviously he felt that Baochai should find a better family, which made Aunt Xue and Baochai both apprehensive and expectant.
Wang Ziteng is also a big member of the party, a military attache of the second grade, and even served as the right attendant of the military department, and he also has a great influence in Beijing, so it is not too easy to find a good family for his niece.
And Baochai's talent is so good in all aspects, which is no problem, even if the family background is a little worse, and there is a brother who loves to cause trouble, but in this year, which big family does not have a few unsuccessful children?
Besides, isn't there still Wang Ziteng, his maternal uncle's family, to rely on?
But over the past year or so, although Baochai has also accompanied her mother to her uncle's house several times, her uncle is either patrolling the border outside, rarely returning to Beijing, or occasionally encountering it.
This made Aunt Xue extremely disappointed, and although Baochai was still calm on the surface and couldn't see the slightest bit, she was not a little disappointed in her heart.
"Brother, don't ask about such frivolous things, how can the uncle and the governor have any reason to worry about such trivial things?" Baochai wiped a strand of black hair hanging down from his forehead, and said indifferently: "If my brother has a heart, it is better to ask my mother to see if there is a suitable person, and first calm down for my brother." ”
Xue Pan was stunned for a moment, and then he also reacted, this is because my sister doesn't want to talk about this matter in others, so she snorted, "My sister is right, if I can solve my matter, my sister may be able to have a better creation." ”
After speaking, Xue Pan shook his head and hummed a little song and went back to his house.
Seeing Xue Pan leaving, Baochai sighed silently and returned to his room, where Xiangling and Ying'er had already followed.
Compared with Xiangling's honesty, Ying'er, who has followed Baochai since she was a child, is much more active and bold, "Miss, the uncle who said before is very related to Miss's family affairs, don't you really want to find a good family for Miss in the capital?" ”
Baochai's face was hot, and he glared at his personal maid: "Don't listen to his nonsense, it's just that my uncle sees that our family has no one to rely on in Beijing, and he cares a little more, where can I talk about that?" ”
Ying'er is not afraid of her own young lady, relying on the young lady's favor, and does not forgive: "That's not necessarily, with the talent of the young lady, I'm afraid that countless rich and noble families in Beijing will have to line up to come to the door, and the uncle is just helping to check the gates." ”
Baochai's heart moved, but it was gloomy.
After coming to Beijing, Baochai realized that there is still a big difference between this Jingshi City and Jinling City, that is, the four old families of Jia Shiwang Xue Jinling can be famous in Jinling City and even Nanzhili, but it is not worth mentioning in this Jingshi City.
Four kings, eight dukes and twelve marquis, except for the Jia family and the Shi family, who can account for two of the eight dukes and two of the twelve marquis, the Wang family and the Xue family are actually not even the first rank in the martial arts group.
But the Wang family did not rely on this, but relied on the hard work of the current uncle to gain the trust of the emperor and the emperor, in order to sit in such a position, in contrast, the Jia family and the Shi family are obviously in decline now, as for the Xue family, it is not to mention now.
And the atmosphere in this Jingshi city is obviously different, that is, the imperial court does not like the martial arts group very much, and those civil officials are even more disdainful of the martial artists, and even have some deliberate targeting and difficult taste, this situation seems to be more obvious after the new emperor ascends the throne.
These situations are all Baochai heard from his uncle, aunt and uncle, like the elder brother's affairs, if it were not for the uncle's efforts, but only relying on the Jia family, it would be impossible to deal with it, and this gap also subverted the inherent views between the mother and herself on the Jia family and the Wang family.
Because of this, Baochai doesn't think that he is really so sought after as Ying'er said, the Xue family has some assets to make a living, but in this place in the capital, businessmen are not treated even if they are imperial merchants, and people in this place value family background more, so it is not so simple to find a good family for their own family.
This is also the reason why my mother thinks that this Jia family may really be the most reliable, obviously my mother also saw this.
Seeing that her young lady just shook her head slightly, but didn't speak, this warbler was also a little anxious, "Miss, isn't what the maid said right?" Xiangling, you come to judge something, am I not right? ”
Xiangling just pursed her lips and shook her head with a smile, but she didn't say anything.
"Hmph, you're a stuffy gourd, I know you're a bobblehead when it comes to business." Ying'er didn't care.
Xiangling is an honest person, and she gets along with her, and she has always said in front of Baochai that it is better to let Xiangling follow Miss, and it is really bad to follow the uncle.
"Ying'er, Miss must have an idea for such things." Xiangling finally said, "What's more, this kind of thing has to wait for my wife and uncle to make the decision." ”
"Then Xiangling, do you think that as the uncle said, the second master Bao is really useless?" Ying'er asked rhetorically.
This question has actually been asked in the hearts of the three women, and the whereabouts of Baochai are also related to their happiness, marrying into the Jia family looks very beautiful, but when Uncle Xue said it, everyone didn't count it in their hearts.
