Chapter 266: Settled
Looking at Jia Huan standing in the middle of the study, Jia Zheng was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Jia Huan to propose his marriage here. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Jia Huan's marriage, he has handed it over to the old lady and his wife to check. Suddenly, he said with some dissatisfaction: "Nonsense! Marriage events have always been the order of parents, and the words of the matchmaker, how can you speak by yourself? ”
Jia Huan was unimpressed by Jia Zheng's words.
There are more people who come according to their own ideas! He has shown his worth, then, he needs some people to respect his wishes: he wants to marry Sister Bao!
In fact, Jia Zheng also knows that the choice of marriage depends on Jia Huan's thoughts. Didn't you ask him for his opinion when he returned home before? It's just that Jia Zheng is a square person and a Confucian disciple, and in front of Wang Ziteng, he made a gesture of criticizing his son.
"Oh?" Wang Ziteng glanced at Jia Huan and laughed playfully, "Ziyu is eleven years old, so he is in a hurry to get married?" ”
It has long been a common practice for the four major families to marry each other. But the Xue family has declined, and he is not willing to marry the most promising son of the four major families to marry the daughter of the Xue family.
Jia Huan is in his thirties and his mental age is still very thick-skinned. Immediately said: "I have long Mubao sister Fangzi." You can exchange marriage letters and get married. Wait for me to get married when I am named on the gold list. ”
Prince Teng laughed! He kind of got it. Jia Huan must have met Xue Baochai often in Jiafu. That's normal.
Jia Zheng glared at Jia Huan first and helped Jia Huan explain the situation. Since Zhang Anbo's escape from the predicament, Jia Huan's marriage has indeed been put on the agenda of Jiafu.
Wang Ziteng smiled, "My Wang family has a daughter, does Ziyu have any will?" ”
Jia Huan said bluntly: "When you marry a wife, you should marry Cai Wenji and Zhuo Wenjun!" "These two are talented women. Jia Huan's meaning is very clear: the woman of the Wang family is not talented. This can be seen from Wang Xifeng. Sister Wang Feng is the daughter of the Wang family, but she is illiterate.
Wang Ziteng laughed. So, it's fun to talk to readers. It's obviously against it, and it's so elegant.
Jia Zheng reprimanded: "How did you talk to your uncle? ”
Jia Huan is able to do things. He was still very satisfied with this concubine in his heart. Especially Jia Huan, who has not been topped recently, can't get off the stage. As for Jia Huan's marriage. He didn't particularly want Jia Huan to marry, or he didn't particularly want Jia Huan to marry. Aunt Xue's daughter is indeed very good. Jia Huan's willingness is within a reasonable range.
Jia Zheng will reprimand Jia Huan, which is to protect Jia Huan. Because in Jia Zheng's heart, Jia Huan reported Wang Ziteng some time ago. Or is it because the prince is generous and does not pursue it, so he settles the matter. Jia Huan seemed too presumptuous to speak like this.
You can't take the generosity of a high-ranking official as weakness.
But Daddy Zheng didn't know that Jia Huan and Wang Ziteng were actually acting double reeds.
The prince waved his hand, signaling his brother-in-law not to reprimand Jia Huan, and groaned slightly.
With the status of Jia Huan's concubine, marrying the daughter of an imperial merchant is considered a high climb. But counting Jia Huanju's identity, his future prospects, his scheming, ability, and the decline of the Xue family. In fact, Jia Huan has the advantage. Moreover, the four major families have been married to each other for a hundred years. This family is also a good match. After all, the Xue family is a concubine.
He originally wanted Jia Huan to choose a suitable candidate among the nobles or the civil servants. But seeing that Jia Huan was so resolute, he gave up. Because, he promised his sister Mrs. Wang that he would ensure Jia Baoyu's status.
Jia Huan's wife is too strong, and turning back will cause him a lot of trouble. is too weak, that is the bargaining chip for Jia Huan to marry the four major families, and there is no need for Jia Huan to show such an excellent premise. He wants to envelop Jia Huan. Instead of using Jia Huan to entrap other people and families.
Of course, it is also related to the psychology of Wang Ziteng now letting Jia Huan "take the blame" with Dai Quan, which is a bit compensated.
Wang Ziteng pondered in his heart for a while, and nodded lightly to Jia Huan, "I agreed." He teased again: "Ziyu has always been very calculating, take one step and look at three steps." Your aunt is still angry. Have you figured out who to be the matchmaker? ”
Jia Huan is not his son after all. So, his mind is relaxed.
Of course, Jia Huan knew that Aunt Xue was angry with him.
Xue Pan is Aunt Xue's only son, and he has been spoiled since he was a child. The Xue family is now in decline, and there is no condition for Jia Baoyu. The prosperity of "good snow in a good year, pearls like earth, gold and iron" is gone. Otherwise, Xue Pan's life would definitely not be worse than Jia Baoyu's.
Therefore, Jia Huan threw Xue Pan into the prison of Dali Temple to eat prison food for a few days and beat him with a stick. How much Aunt Xue hated him in her heart, it was almost conceivable.
If Jia Huan threw Jia Baoyu into prison, Mrs. Wang probably had a desperate heart with him. The difference between Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang is only that she has the ability to work hard.
Jia Huan said: "I want to ask my eldest sister to come back and help me be this matchmaker." ”
Wang Ziteng pointed at Jia Huan and smiled, "This is a good idea." ”
Yuan Chun turned back at least to be a nobleman. If this is to say something, with the power of the royal family, and after a while, Aunt Xue will agree if she is angry. His sister's temperament, he knows a little, is not a particularly hard-tempered person.
Jia Zheng drank tea a little helplessly. He didn't like the idea of discussing the scheme in person.
…
In the afternoon, the carriage set off smoothly from the palace and headed for the Jiafu at four o'clock.
In the spacious carriage, Jia Zheng closed his eyes to recuperate. Jia Huan sat beside Jia Zheng, "Father, I'm going to go to Jinling in two days to follow the teacher to study." Prepare for the spring of the year after the big year. My father was also bothered about my marriage. ”
Jia Zheng opened his eyes and glared at Jia Huan angrily, is this what a son should say to his father? "What your uncle promised you, there will be no change."
Looking back, it was expected that his uncle would say to his wife. He's got nothing to do here. The old lady didn't care about him as a concubine. The difficulty of this marriage is only on Aunt Xue's side.
Presumably, today's smooth situation is also in the calculation of his concubine, right?
Jia Huan helped the house do things and made meritorious contributions. Both he and his eldest brother Jia Yu have to consider Jia Huan's wishes. The same was true for his uncle. And I heard that in the clan, Jia Huan gave silver to let Jia Dairu's grandson Jia Rui marry. Jia Dairu couldn't wait to confess Jia Huan. All obstacles have been removed.
Jia Huan smiled.
Jia Zheng asked again: "When will you go to Jiangnan?" ”
Jia Huan replied, "I'll leave in two days." "He wants to give Sister Bao a reassuring pill before leaving." In the past two or three years, the situation has been stable, and my father's official is in front of him with peace of mind. When the time comes, I have my own plan. ”
Jia Zheng was speechless for a while, he had to admit that his son had the ability to perceive people's hearts. Nodding.
…
In the evening, Wang Ziteng chatted with his wife Mrs. He about Jia Huan's marriage, "When the time comes, the eldest girl is in the palace, and she has to ask Mrs. to reconcile and run in the middle." ”
Mrs. He was a little puzzled, and said, "Why does the master value the concubine of the Jia family so much?" He's like a white-eyed wolf. Before..."
The prince interrupted his wife with a wave of his hand, "Don't say that. The reported thing is over. ”
Mrs. He sighed. I was thinking about how to communicate with Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue.
…
Jia Mansion, East Cross Courtyard. Drifting out the window in the autumn night. Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were talking in the back room. Candlelight is bright.
Jin Chu'er and Caixia served Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang to wash their faces and feet. Pour water and serve tea.
After these things were done, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang sat at the small table and drank tea. Jia Zhengdao: "Mrs., is there a suitable person for Brother Huan'er's marriage?" ”
Mrs. Wang is in her forties, and her beautiful face is still old, and her face is pale. It looks a bit old-fashioned and hard to get close to. Mrs. Wang glanced at Jia Zheng and said, "The master has a candidate in his heart?" Didn't he want to be in the Ji Politics family that he talked about last time? ”
Jia Zheng waved his hand, "It's not that I have a candidate." It's Brother Huan'er's own thoughts. He wants to marry Aunt Xue's daughter. ”
Mrs. Wang immediately frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of system is this?" Hmph, he has his own thoughts..."When did you talk about marriage matters, when did you come to make decisions for yourself?" Isn't it all the parents' orders?
It's not that she doesn't have no thoughts about Jia Huan. It's because her brother is pressing. Waiting for idle trivial things, asking her to knock Jia Huan would be self-inflicted. This is a great opportunity!
Jin Chu'er and Caixia, who were standing on the sidelines waiting, were stunned. Listen with your ears pricked up. It's just that the mood is different.
Jia Zheng smacked his lips and ate tea, "Uncle also agreed." Brother Huan is going to Jiangnan in a few days. The house is settled first. ”
Mrs. Wang used the topic to play, and before she could vent her breath, she blocked Jia Zheng back. I feel suffocated!
…
The night was getting deeper. The lights in the back room went out. In the residence of the maids in the wing room on the side of the east courtyard, Caixia was crying in the bed.
Several beds are placed side by side against the wall. Each hung his tent. Listening to the whining cry, Yu Chu'er asked in confusion, "Sister, what's wrong?" ”
Jin Chu'er pouted and said, "This hoof is stupid." I like the third master in my heart, but I don't fight. It's been years! Just now I heard from her in the back room that the third master wanted to marry Miss Bao. This side of the house has to be settled. No more picking on other people's girls. Then, it depends on what Aunt Xue means. ”
Caiyun smiled in the quilt: "What are you fighting for?" Miss Bao. Jin Chu'er, you really dare to say it! ”
Jin Chu'er laughed, "What are you talking nonsense?" I didn't say that I was fighting with Miss Bao? How dare you think about it? Didn't the third master come to us often in the past? Except for the Ruyi in the third master's house, in terms of closeness, she is all excluded. Caixia, are you going to talk to the third master? The three masters are going to Jiangnan, and God knows when they will come back. If you don't go, I'll go for you. ”
Caiyun giggled.
Yu Chu'er smiled: "Okay." People are sad. The two of you also joked about her. Can this also be replaced? Bullying honest people. ”
Caixia couldn't help but laugh, got out of the bed, and said, "Arrange me again, I'll tear the mouths of a few of you prodigal hooves." ”
A room full of maids laughed.
Caixia looked at the faint moonlight falling in the house, dumbfounded. (To be continued.) )
