Chapter 283: Inquiry
It's a pity that Mrs. Wang doesn't think so much about Jiang Yan, since she died of a promising Jia Zhu, what she has in mind is to let Jia Baoyu study and progress like his brother.
It's a pity that Jia Baoyu really doesn't like to read, and he is not interested in his career.
After Mrs. Wang knew that her brother and Baoninghou were in-laws, she couldn't hide the joy on her face, and even Mrs. Xing was sour next to her
No one paid attention to him, and only after a while did he open his mouth, "Why don't you ask me, what did the old lady tell me to do?" ”
Qingwen smiled: "Everyone knows that it's not a good thing to look at you, so why bother to dislike you?" ”
Jia Baoyu sighed: "This is a good thing, it's just that I'm not happy, and I have another daughter who is going to get married." ”
"You're here again, since you know it's a good thing, why bother?" Which girl is going to get married? Have we met? ”
Jia Baoyu said: "It is the daughter of my uncle's family, and she was promised to the son of Baoning Hou, and she will get married in May next year." In previous years, she also came with her aunt and had a good relationship with her third sister. ”
Everyone still has an impression of this girl, she is naturally beautiful, but the most important point is that she is very similar to Wang Xifeng, and she is also refreshing in talking and doing things, which is especially compatible with Tanchun.
Everyone calculates her age, she is only fifteen this year, and she will only be sixteen next year, so she is too young to get married at this age, right?
At this time, seventeen or eighteen is the normal age of marriage, and it is not for nothing that it is dragging it out bigger, and sixteen is really a bit early.
Jia Baoyu said: "But isn't it, we have never discussed marriage so early in our house, and I don't know why my uncle is in such a hurry." The old lady also called the eldest lady and the others over, saying that they were happy together. What's so nice about this, if you want me to say, it's better to stay for a few more years. ”
Jiang Yan thought to herself, not only did Jia Fuli not discuss marriage early, but also did not discuss marriage when he reached the right age. Think about the ages of several girls, Xue Baochai is eighteen and seventeen are all of marriageable age, Xue Baochai is an outsider and doesn't care, Yingchun is seventeen, even if it is settled now, it will take a year and a half to prepare a dowry and the like, then it will be eighteen, and it is not too early to get married, but there is no movement in the house now, and I don't know what Jia Yu thinks about them.
There are parents in this kind of thing, and Mother Jia is not easy to interfere with, and Mrs. Xing is not Yingchun's mother, and she is too lazy to do much, even if she sees someone getting married, she can't think of Yingchun. Jia Yu is also a father no matter how he says, he thinks about the concubine all day long, and he even forgets that he has such a big daughter in the boudoir, this father is really better than nothing.
It's just that Yingchun is a submissive person, she has always had no sense of existence, and even wished that others would ignore her, so that she took the initiative to remind others that her marriage had not yet settled, and it was estimated that the sun would come out of the west.
Jia Baoyu was still regretting that a girl was going to get married, Jiang Yan remembered the person he just said, and asked, "Who is this Baoning Hou?" I don't think I've heard of it in the house, so I guess I don't know anything about it. ”
When she was in Rongqing Hall, she saw a lot of dignitaries and nobles, Jia's mother was the highest in the house, and everyone who was a guest had to come to see her, Jiang Yan hadn't heard of any Baoning Hou, and she didn't know when she came out, anyway, she was definitely not an old noble.
Although Jia Baoyu doesn't like to associate with these officialdom, he still has the basic qualities of being a prince of the country's mansion, and he knows all kinds of nobles in the court.
Seeing Jiang Yan ask, he explained: "This Baoning Marquis was sealed by the emperor after he ascended the throne, and he is the younger brother of the queen's mother. I don't have much to do with our family, so you haven't heard of it. ”
The attacker was surprised: "My uncle actually married the queen's mother's family, this is too ......"
I don't know how to describe it, too powerful, too impressive? Although Jia Fu still barely maintains the glory of the old nobles, it is too far away from the real power department of the court. Even if she is a maid, she also knows that the emperor is especially good to the queen's family, and all kinds of rewards are continuous, but she didn't expect Wang Ziteng to be able to have a relationship with Baoning Hou, no wonder she can't take care of her daughter even if she is young, and she will settle this family affair first.
The four major families are connected by marriage, and the Wang family has caught up with Uncle Guo, and the future will definitely be smooth sailing, which is also a good thing for the Jia family.
She said to Jia Baoyu: "Such a good family affair is one in a million, you actually regret it, but it is really a blessing." ”
The Baoning Hou Mansion is good, but what about the people? He had heard the rumors that the Hou Gongzi of Baoning liked to go to Mazhangtai the most. Even if this is a rumor, it is normal for people to worry about the girl before she gets married, and it is impossible to hear that the man's conditions are superior and he would like to get married immediately.
Jia Baoyu knew that he couldn't go with the attacker, and he didn't refute it when he heard the words, and was going to talk to Lin Daiyu later.
When Jiang Yan heard that Baoning Hou was the uncle of the country, she couldn't help but admire Wang Ziteng's old scheming. Although he has the emperor's blue eyes and has been prosperous all these years, as a veteran noble, he has too many laggards behind him, and if he wants to go further, he must find a helper for himself.
It just so happened that the upstart relative Bao Ninghou had a shallow foundation and wanted to increase his connections, so the two hit it off, and they had suitable children, so marriage became inevitable.
In addition, Xue Baoqin was given to the Mei Hanlin family, which means that he has people in honor, relatives, and Qingliu.
Jiang Yan alone knows so much, and other places don't know how many hands. With such a person, it's no wonder that he will rise to prominence.
Jiang Yan and Xiren both thought of the benefits of this marriage, but Jia Baoyu didn't care at all, with his cleverness, he shouldn't have thought of this, probably because he didn't care, he was more concerned about his cousin's personal happiness than everything after that.
Mother Jia deliberately called everyone over, and it is estimated that it is also exciting, after all, the four major families are both prosperous and lossy. It's a pity that Jia Baoyu didn't care about these at all, and wasted her hard work.
Jia Baoyu's personality Jia's mother naturally understands, the child she raised single-handedly, can she not know what kind of character he is? She is not reluctant to do this, but Mrs. Wang is different, Jia Baoyu is her lifeblood, how can she not grow up so much!
In fact, Jia Baoyu's character can only be a rich idler, and it is not possible to expect him to set up a household. It's a pity that Mrs. Wang is old and can't be born, so she can only force him to improve.
If Jiang Yan were her, she would simply give up Jia Baoyu and directly cultivate Jia Lan, anyway, Jia Lan is not a few years younger than Jia Baoyu, and she is also her own grandson, so why make everyone unhappy. Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
