Chapter Seventy-Four: The Treasure Girl Can Only Enter the Palace to Participate in the Election
There are no stupid people in the Wang family, except for the wife of the political master.
As soon as the Empress Dowager's decree for Jia Cong and Daiyu to marry arrived in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu and Baoyu fainted.
Including the two saints in the palace, they all have eyeliner in Ningrong and Ningrong, and at this time, they went to the Tai Hospital to ask for a doctor, which is basically to put Jia Mu and Baoyu's dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother on the surface.
Mrs. Wang's thoughts are no different from looking for death, is it really that Empress Dowager Cao is a philanthropist?
"Mandarin duck, what are you still doing? Why don't you do what I tell you to do? ”
Although Wang Xifeng despised the old lady's partiality and Baoyu's ignorance of the world, in the end, he was still sensible, and he knew that the two of them should not be allowed to have a chance because of the marriage.
Looking at Mrs. Wang's resentful eyes, Wang Xifeng felt a lot of emotion in her heart.
I didn't expect her to finally come to this point with her own aunt and second aunt!
"Second master, the concubine has offended all her relatives for the sake of our big house!"
……
The decree of marriage in the palace not only disrupted Jia's mother's plan, but even Wang Ziteng was shocked when he heard the news.
The doctor of Baohetang was acupuncture and medicine, and the first thing Jia's mother did after she woke up was not to visit her precious grandson, but to ask Jia Zheng and his wife to go to Wang Ziteng's house to find Wang Ziteng.
"Didn't I say a long time ago, let you set the Lin family's girl for Baoyu as soon as possible, why did you let others take the lead?"
Wang Ziteng narrowed his eyes, he had taken a fancy to the political resources behind Lin Ruhai and the massive wealth of the Lin family, and he wanted to pull him under his command in every possible way, but he didn't expect to make a wedding dress for the big house of Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Zheng didn't respond for a long time, but Mrs. Wang complained: "Second brother, that Lin girl has been weak since she was a child, and she is not easy to raise at first glance, how can we Baoyu marry her?" ”
"Confused! Is Baoyu short of women? Marry home and provide for support, if you want to have children, you can have a few concubines! The fifth marquis of the Lin family, Lin Ruhai is a top tanhua, do you know how many Shilin eunuchs are standing behind him? If Baoyu marries the girl of the Lin family, Lin Ruhai's connections and the wealth of the Lin family are not all Baoyu's? ”
Wang Ziteng was really stupidly crying by this sister of his own, he looked quite smart before, why is he stupid like this now?
"So, this matter has not been settled for a long time, is it your reason?"
Wang Ziteng finally understood why this family affair became like this, the old lady was paving the way for Baoyu with the reputation of the Jia family, but her own sister was dragging her feet behind her back......
Do you still grudge the contradictions between Jia Min and her back then?
Forget it, I can't talk about this stupid woman.
Wang Ziteng turned his gaze to "Brother-in-law, what did the old lady say?" ”
Jia Zheng hesitated again and again, and finally replied hesitantly: "Mother means that there is a way to see if my uncle can take back his life in the palace." ”
Hiss!
What was the old lady thinking?
Wang Ziteng took a deep breath and almost cursed.
"When did the Queen Mother pay attention to these trivial matters? This marriage is obviously what our Majesty meant, and this family affair has become a foregone conclusion, let the old lady choose Baoyu again. ”
Wang Ziteng saw it very thoroughly, but there were some things he didn't say.
The queen mother's decree must have been promoted by the emperor, but the object of this marriage made him very jealous.
He just pushed the people in Jiangnan to calculate Lin Ruhai, and Jia Yu, who had been at home for several years, left Beijing and went out of Jiangnan. Within a few days, the palace gave the marriage of Jia Jiazi and Lin's daughter, which was too coincidental!
Jia Zheng was still a little unwilling, but he didn't dare to argue with his uncle, so he nodded with a bitter face.
Mrs. Wang said with great interest: "Second brother, since there is no hope for Lin Yatou, it is better to set the third sister's daughter for Baoyu......"
"Huh? Don't toss around, it's not feasible! Wang Ziteng's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and he didn't want to talk about it anymore.
It's a pity that Mrs. Wang is not Wang Xifeng, and at this time she fell into her own fantasy and couldn't extricate herself, so she opened her mouth to persuade again.
"The second brother and the third sister once wrote to me, saying that her Baochai is beautiful and erudite...... This is simply a natural candidate for Baoyu's wife......"
Boom!
Wang Zi Teng Tieqing knocked on the table and warned Mrs. Wang with a cold eye: "Second sister, I said, this matter is not feasible!" ”
"Why?"
Mrs. Wang was still unwilling, but Wang Ziteng said something she had never heard of.
I only heard Wang Ziteng reply indifferently: "After the death of the third brother-in-law, the Xue family is not as good as before, and Brother Pan is stubborn. If you want to keep the Xue family, you can only try the road of the harem, Bao girl...... You can only enter the palace to run for election! ”
……
The wind in the capital can't blow from the south of the Yangtze River, and Jia Cong can't bear it after only two days at Zhen's house.
The old lady of the Zhen family didn't know what to think, and the next day's lunch was full of Yingying Yanyan.
I have to say that the Zhen family is extremely similar to the Jia family, and the upbringing daughters are excellent in each competition, but in the Zhen family Baoyu's generation, there is no man with a future.
Jia Cong, who escaped from the daughter country, originally wanted to go to live in the old house of the Jia family, but Jia Shiyi sent the news in advance that someone in the twelfth room of Jinling had already mixed in the unspeakable thing.
Jia Yu asked Jia Shiyi to pass on the message, and before he came to Jinling, let Jia Cong avoid it.
"Brother Cong, go to my house first?"
Xue Pan happily greeted Jia Cong, and invited Jia Cong to his house to live temporarily no matter what.
Jia Shiyi whispered in Jia Cong's ear: "What the general means, it's okay for the little third master to live in the Xue family." The people of Jinling Mansion are now staring at us, including Li Xun. The little third master played in Xue's house for a few days, and when our people came, he went to the weaving mansion to do the errand assigned by the sage! ”
The carriage stopped leisurely in front of Xue's house, and it snowed heavily in a good year, and the pearls were like earth and gold.
Since the founding of the country, the Xue family has been a famous family of imperial merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, and the luxury of the Xue Mansion is not worse than that of the Rongguo Mansion.
The wealth of the world, even if it is now downhill, is still a thin camel bigger than a horse, a big mansion with five entrances inside, living water everywhere through the corridor, and koi dancing and dancing.
Because they are half in-laws, Mrs. Xue and her daughter Xue Baochai have been waiting in the main hall for a long time.
Jia Cong paid a visit first, and after greetings, Mrs. Xue asked her subordinates to send a rich banquet to entertain Jia Cong.
"Auntie's food is indeed unique, much more delicious than what I have eaten at Zhen's house in the past two days."
Thinking of the smell of fat powder in the Zhen family's Feng'en Hall at yesterday's luncheon, Jia Cong shuddered......
It's terrible, but if he runs slowly, he will be eaten alive by those warblers and swallows!
Jia Cong held the delicate porcelain bowl, shouted and asked the maid to add him a high bowl of rice, and ate the various dishes on the table, and from time to time he praised the delicious food of the Xue family.
Mrs. Xue looked at Jia Cong, who was gobbling up, and the smile on her face was even worse.
In her opinion, Jia Cong's behavior is not to treat the Xue family as an outsider. In comparison, the performance of his nephew when he came to Jinling last time was too far behind.
Thinking of the letter from the second brother Prince Teng a few days ago, the smile on Mrs. Xue's face gradually disappeared, and she slowly felt a little sad.
Wouldn't I be the daughter of the Wang family if I married into the Xue family? Second brother, don't you want me as a sister?
