Chapter 157: Waves (Reward and Change)
"The General's Mansion is so loud today!"
In the Lixiang Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai came back from the General's Mansion, and their hearts were full of indescribable shock.
"The promotion of the second brother of the chain is naturally worth celebrating!"
Xue Baochai said insincere words, but in his mind, the style of the top noble ladies and ladies he knew today came to mind.
"Hey, I don't want Dafang to have such influence!"
Aunt Xue was stunned, regretting her previous neglect of the big house, and now she wants to step forward to pull the relationship, but she doesn't know how to start for a while.
She was also taken aback today by the identity of the lady and lady invited by the big house, all of them are members of the top noble families in the capital, and each of them is an amazing existence.
Some of them, she also heard about them when she was still in the boudoir, but unfortunately the family was not powerful enough at that time, and it was not a circle at all.
As for the second brother of the mother's family, who has always been proud in the past, he also showed his original form on such occasions.
The second sister-in-law couldn't even go up to the second seat on the female guest's side, and in the face of a vote of the princess and concubine of the county, as well as the duchess and Mrs. Hou, she didn't dare to blow up at all.
In the past, when the wives and ladies of the four major families in Jinling gathered, the second sister-in-law was not the center of everyone, but this time it was only a joke.
Scold......
"Mother, in the future, we have to have more contact with Dafang and have a good relationship!"
Xue Baochai quickly came back to his senses and calmly proposed to Aunt Xue: "It seems that the big house is inevitable!" ”
"You're right, it's just that the eldest lady isn't very easy to deal with!"
Aunt Xue was a little worried, she was affected by the atmosphere of the Rongguo Mansion before, and it was inevitable that she would ignore the transparent lady.
Suddenly, she was asked to deal with the eldest lady, and she didn't know where to start, and she was really depressed.
"It's easy!"
Xue Baochai was confident, and said with a smile: "Mother doesn't know, my brother has helped the eldest wife a lot before, especially in the business in Jiangnan, there are still some entanglements of interests between us and the eldest wife!" ”
"Really, that's great!"
Aunt Xue was overjoyed for a while, but she really didn't expect Xue Pan to have a business connection with the eldest lady quietly, and it would be much easier to get closer to her in the future.
"Mother, this is Brother Cong'er's order!"
Xue Baochai manages part of the accounts of the Xue family firm, and knows a lot about the inside story here, and explained with a smile: "Where does my brother have such an idea, just do what Brother Cong wants!" ”
"That's right!"
Aunt Xue's face stiffened, shook her head and sighed: "The eldest master took Brother Cong to meet a lot of noble children today, I'm afraid your aunt will be very unhappy!" ”
"There's no way around it!"
Xue Baochai smiled bitterly: "The big house is rising, the eldest master will definitely not let go of the opportunity, Brother Cong is quite capable, it is difficult for my aunt to stop it!" ”
There are some things that she can't say in front of her mother.
Baoyu is so temperamental, she knows that she is messing around in the inner house all day long, and she doesn't look like a master who can stand up.
Today she deliberately observed that Baoyu was eating and drinking at the men's side at first, but she slipped to the women's side not long after the banquet began.
Those county kings and ladies in the prince's mansion, although they praised Baoyu for being handsome and filial, the disdain and dislike in their eyes were not imperceptible.
Otherwise, how could it be that as soon as the banquet ended, these ladies and ladies who came over deliberately did not leave any small talk at all?
Although Xue Baochai has never participated in such a high-end banquet, the temperament of the ladies and ladies is still understood, and that woman does not gossip?
It can only be said that Baoyu, who is thirteen years old, is too unusual.
No contrast, no harm!
In the original work of the Red Mansion, the entire Rongguo Mansion, and even the men in the Ning Guo Mansion, are all unbearable, which highlights Jia Baoyu's extraordinary.
At least, Jia Baoyu doesn't have so many bad problems, and he can still talk to his sisters, and it is very rare to be willing to bow low and be small.
But now, with Jia Cong's comparison, the problem of the phoenix egg is more obvious.
has a relationship with Xue Pan, and Xue Baochai probably knows what Jia Cong did outside, not to mention everything.
Writing about the wind and clouds, following the chain two down the south of the Yangtze River to the West Mountain, it can be said that the performance is quite amazing, and it completely interprets what it means to be a man with ambitions in all directions.
Looking at Jia Baoyu, who has been nesting in the inner courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, playing with his sisters, sisters and maids, as if he has not grown up, the gap will come out.
Today's celebration banquet in the General's Mansion is even more obvious, Jia Baoyu is all about playing with her sisters and sisters, but she has little interest in making friends with the noble children, and even left the male guest early and ran to the female relatives to mess around.
Xue Baochai didn't think anything about it before, but when he saw the reactions of the ladies and ladies of the top noble families, he knew that Jia Baoyu's behavior was very inappropriate.
It's just that she can't say it in front of her mother.
Aunt Xue's impression of Jia Baoyu is quite good, and she even has the idea of kissing and kissing.
Just as the mother and daughter were talking, Xue Pan came in from outside full of wine and shouted, "Hurry up and serve tea!" ”
The maids in the house made the group turn around, sat down and said with a smile: "Mother, and my sister ate well at the banquet?" ”
"Okay, okay, can you still be hungry?"
Aunt Xue immediately shifted the object of her speech, smelled the wine on Xue Pan's body, and said angrily: "Why did you eat so much wine?" ”
Xue Pan chuckled out unconcernedly, took the tea from the maid, took a sip to ease the wine, and then smiled: "The boss asked me to accompany a group of noble children, and everyone chatted happily and drank more!" ”
"What, you drank with those top noble sons at the banquet?"
Aunt Xue was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "You didn't offend people with nonsense, right?" ”
"Mother thinks too much!"
Xue Pan said with a smile: "I only receive the children of noble families below the earl, and they are not sisters-in-law, so you don't need to be too careful!" ”
After following Jia Cong for a few years, although Xue Pan still didn't have much brain, he also lost the arrogance he had when he first came to the capital.
At least he knew now that in the eyes of the top nobles, he wasn't even a fart.
As for the second uncle Wang Ziteng, although he is not small, he has not yet reached the level of a powerful minister, and there are not many people in the capital who are more powerful than him.
Knowing this, it is natural to behave more cautiously.
Coupled with Jia Cong's constant restraint by his side, Xue Pan did not degenerate as quickly as in the original book, and his behavior was measured.
"That's ......"
Aunt Xue was a little regretful, but she didn't say much.
"Mother, don't think too much, there are some things that some people can't just make up casually, otherwise they will only ask for trouble!"
Xue Pan smiled, didn't care at all, and said: "It's already quite good to be able to call those inferior noble sons brothers!" ”
Although she knew that her son was telling the truth, Aunt Xue's mood was not good.
"Brother, in the future, our family will have more contact with the big house!"
Xue Baochai saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly opened his mouth to change the topic: "I heard that you have business dealings with the eldest lady's mother's family, haven't you?" ”
"These are all old yellow calendars, and my sister doesn't need to worry about it!"
Xue Pan said disapprerovingly: "As long as I follow the boss closely, the relationship between us and Dafang will be no different!" ”
Speaking of this, he paused and pretended to be mysterious: "It's Second Brother Lian, there are some things that I need to help deal with, and the future will definitely be no worse!" ”
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were surprised and delighted, but they didn't expect Xue Pan to be silent, and they had already been recognized by Chain Er.
You must know that Chain Er is already a dignified and four-grade Shuntian Mansion at this time, and the future is definitely not a boast but a fact.
As long as Xue Pan can be related to Chain Er, I am afraid that there will be benefits and even a future.
After laughing for a while, Xue Pan's drunken head was sleepy, and he hurriedly waved his hand to return to the room to sleep, and said with a smile: "Mother and sister want to keep it secret for me, and in a few days I will follow the boss and go to the Lin Mansion to meet Lin Shilang!" ”
Hehe smiled, and staggered back to the room to rest with the help of the maid.
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise and disbelief in each other's eyes.
"I don't want Brother Cong to be so valued by Lin Shilang!"
Aunt Xue sighed repeatedly, although on the way back to Lixiangyuan, she heard the rumors, but she didn't expect that the rumors about Jia Cong were all true.
But the next day, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai went to Rongqing Hall, but they heard the news of the conflict between the old lady and the eldest master last night, and by the way, they also brought Jia Cong in, and became the target of the old lady's fire.
The mother and daughter of the Xue family were speechless for a while, and they really couldn't figure it out, why the old lady just couldn't look down on Jia Cong, this kid's ability was not small.
As long as Chain Er is willing to help, and Lin Ruhai, who values him, his future will not be much worse.
If Rongguo Mansion wants to recover, it can't be done by relying on one Jia Baoyu alone!
Even if Jia Baoyu is a genius in the sky, but his age is there, from entering the imperial examination to becoming a high-ranking official and dignitary, he has to struggle for at least ten years.
As a result, there is a gap of more than ten years in between!
With such a long blank period, once there is an accident, it is no joke, and the entire Rongguo Mansion is in danger of completely falling from the ranks of the top nobles.
Unless, Rongguo Mansion has received another strong support force!
Anyway, the mother and daughter of the Xue family don't think that Wang Ziteng will be this role, the Wang family is also a big family, Wang Ziteng can't take care of it, where is there still spare time to help Rongguo Mansion all the time, isn't that a joke?
No matter how you look at it, Jia Baoyu is not a genius.
Of course, this is the internal affairs of Rongguo Mansion, and the mother and daughter of the Xue family are just outsiders, so it is not good to participate in such a thing.
It's just that when she came out of the old lady, Aunt Xue went to sit at the second wife, Mrs. Wang, according to her habit, but this one asked her about Jia Cong's affairs outside, and even faintly hoped that with the help of Xue Pan's hand, Jia Cong would be taught a hard lesson.
Aunt Xue's surprise was so great that she almost fell off her chair......
