Chapter 064: I'd rather be a phoenix tail than a chicken head
"Why hasn't Mother dispelled this thought?"
Hearing Aunt Xue's words, Xue Pan jumped up, "Jia Baoyu's guy is messing around with this guy all day long, and what kind of person is he who plays with that?"
I'm definitely not going to agree anyway! ”
Xue Baochai on the side glared at him, "I haven't done anything yet, what are you anxious about?" Listen to your mother first! ”
was glared at by Baochai, Xue Pan immediately shrank his head and sat there not daring to speak.
Angry and funny, he slapped him.
Aunt Xue said: "I also know that Baoyu doesn't like fame and fortune, he only likes to play in the pile of fat powder, and it is indeed a little unseemly to mess around all day long......
looked at Xue Pan and Baochai brothers and sisters.
Aunt Xue sighed.
"Although our family has the name of an imperial businessman, which of those real high-ranking families can be regarded as a businessman? If you are looking for an ordinary family, it is better to pack your luggage and go back to Jinling as soon as possible!
And how is Baoyu also the grandson of the Guogong Mansion, not only is there an old lady pampered above, but I also heard that Yuanchun is quite favored by the old lady in the palace, she is Baoyu's sister, how can Baoyu be bad in the future?
In contrast, Baoyu is already the best candidate. ”
"Mother, why do you say that?!"
Hearing that Aunt Xue was so bright, she completely spread out the pros and cons of her marriage, and Xue Baochai lowered her head with a flushed face.
"That is, the marriage is tied to the happiness of my sister in the second half of her life, how can you only talk about the pros and cons?"
Xue Pan also frowned, "If you really want to talk about it, the reason why Cousin Yuanchun can be favored by the old concubine is not because of their Jia family?" ”
Speaking of which.
Xue Pan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Didn't my mother say before that she was going to find out the eldest lady?" What happened to be the following?
Today, I have a drink with Second Brother Lian in Cuiyun Building, according to him, the palace will issue a decree to reward Brother Cong in the near future, and at least it must be the title of a viscount......"
Aunt Xue smiled bitterly.
"I also went to inquire about the eldest lady's tone, but with Brother Cong'er's current identity and prospects, if you want to get married, at least you have to be a young lady from the prince's family, how can we expect it?"
As soon as these words came out, Xue Panden had nothing to say.
I had to shake my head helplessly, "It's a pity that Brother Cong is such a rare person......"
At this time, Xue Baochai on the side suddenly spoke and said, "The old lady is trying to match Third Brother Cong and Sister Daiyu, and I don't think they have any objections." ”
“……”
There was silence for a while.
Aunt Xue stared at Baochai tightly and asked, "Are you also optimistic about Brother Cong?" ”
Baochai bowed his head and said nothing.
Aunt Xue immediately understood.
I couldn't help but sigh, "My son, why are you so stubborn?!" ”
Xue Baochai said: "Although Brother Bao is good, he is also very kind to the sisters, but he doesn't like fame and fortune, and he has no plan in his heart, so he only messes around in the fat powder pile all day long, eating the rouge on his daughter's mouth."
How can such a person make me feel at ease and entrust me for life? ”
Aunt Xue didn't think so.
only persuaded: "With the background and status of our family, you are really married to Brother Cong, at most you are a concubine; But if it's with Baoyu, your aunt will be allowed to take the position of a wife. ”
Hearing this, Xue Pan couldn't help but pout.
muttered in a low voice: "If you want me to see, being Baoyu's wife is really not necessarily comparable to Brother Cong's concubine, and the wife is not as tough as other people's concubines."
What's more, he, Jia Baoyu, also relied on the Rencong brothers to support him! ”
Xue Pan's words made Baochai can't help but think of the previous Jia Cong's knighthood banquet, the scenery scene of Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing and all the orders, and then think about the few female dependents who couldn't even enter the main hall.
Xue Baochai secretly made up his mind.
"Even if it's a concubine, it's better than a mediocre life."
Pursing her lips, Baochai said to Aunt Xue with a serious expression: "I'd rather fly above the nine heavens for the phoenix tail than be the head of the chicken that pecks for food!" ”
"You have to think about it," Aunt Xue couldn't help but persuade again, "This kind of thing is a bow with no turning back, and once there is an accident in the middle, it will not be possible to turn back!" ”
"I've figured it out!"
The voice was unusually firm.
…………
On the steps of the door of the ceremony.
Qiu Shi'an read out the holy decree in his hand loudly, and there was green smoke rising on the incense table in front of him, and the faint sandalwood reflected the people of the Jia family kneeling in the courtyard below.
The atmosphere was extremely solemn.
"Fengtian carried the emperor, and said:
I only rule the world with literature, and fight chaos with force. And the military commander will be the pillar of the imperial court and the dry city of the country. It is able to be both civil and military, and to make efforts to repay the service, but it can be praised for its achievements and not praised for its favor.
Jia Cong, the great-grandson of Jia Yuan, the prince of Errongguo, has excellent wisdom and bravery, and I am very happy. When the Tatar barbarians were rampant, they also relied on Qing's martial arts and bravery, fearless with their lives, and Fang Ping suffered disasters before they happened.
Zith awarded the third-class loyal and brave uncle, quasi-plus two generations, the commander of the envoy rank, and the commander of the Beijing camp.
Chin this! ”
After reading the decree.
A smile appeared on Qiu Shi'an's face, and he said to Jia Cong in the middle of the first few people in front of him: "Uncle Zhongyong, take the order quickly!" ”
Jia Cong replied again, "Minister Jia Cong received the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Receiving the bright yellow holy decree with both hands, Jia Cong was also quite excited in his heart.
It's been three years, and I've finally gained a firm foothold!
At this moment, the holy decree of the black rhinoceros horn as a shaft made Jia Cong very fond of it......
The danger of the Jia family is solved.
Without a trace, he stuffed a red envelope into Qiu Shi'an's hand, and seeing that he wanted to excuse himself, Jia Cong smiled and stretched out his hand to stop, and said: "This is the red envelope I promoted today, but the minister can't refuse." ”
As he spoke, He Xi and He Bei came over with a tray and distributed the two plates of silver ingots to the little eunuchs who accompanied him.
They all thanked each other and didn't mention it.
Jia Cong asked Qiu Shi'an to go to the hall to rest and eat tea.
To the surprise of everyone in the Jia family, the prime minister's inner court, who was busy all day long, inspected the eunuchs, and it was rare to let go of the things in hand, and he really accompanied Jia Cong to eat tea and laugh for a long time.
That's why.
Everyone in the Jia family finally has a general understanding of Jia Cong's favor.
……
When Qiu Shi'an was sent away, Jia Cong returned to Rongguo Mansion.
Mother Jia was ordering Lin Zhixiao to give a reward to the servants in the house, and there was an unstoppable smile on everyone's face, and her worship and admiration for Jia Cong increased by three points.
Such a big movement naturally can't hide it from Aunt Xue's family who lives in Lixiangyuan.
When she learned that Jia Cong was awarded the title of Zhongyong Uncle by Emperor Chengde and regained the position of commander of the Beijing camp, Aunt Xue knew that the Jia family had risen again.
In my heart, most of the stubbornness towards Xue Baochai who would rather be a concubine than marry Baoyu has disappeared.
After all, compared to Jia Cong, Jia Baoyu is really not enough, no matter what aspect it is.
So, isn't it just to be a concubine?
Actually, it's not bad!
