Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 13
As for the moths who live in Jia's house, they are greedy for ink and rebel against the master, and their tricks are all brought from the womb. How many of them can do their best for Jia's family?

So much so that even though Ling Xuan racked her brains to find a way to make money for Jia's family, she couldn't stand being a cunning slave who deceived her master, was black-hearted and greedy, ran rampant in the countryside, bullied the people, and took tens of thousands of taels of petty profits every year. The world is difficult outside, but I am stupid and have no way to make money. It is very rare to have such income.

So for so many years, Zhang Lingxuan has worked hard to take charge of this feeder, and she has only been working hard with the goal of equalizing the income and expenditure of the middle school.

However, no matter how hard she tried, the money on Gongzhong's books would decrease year by year. Although the amount would not make the Rong Mansion unsustainable overnight, the good things left by the ancestors in the treasury would be lost every year. Pawning multiple pieces can alleviate the deficit.

Now Jia Mu suddenly wanted to celebrate Mrs. Wang's birthday, which made Zhang Lingxuan frown, but it was difficult to refute Jia Mu's face.I had no choice but to go back to my courtyard, keep looking at the account books, and sigh to myself.

My grand-in-law's birthday is hers, and she is the head of the household. If she does it too simply, the whole family won't look like her, so she has to talk about it. If she does it too grandly, because it's not her whole birthday, and her husband is increasingly showing signs of weakness, she can't make a big deal out of it. manage.So Zhang Lingxuan had a headache for two days before she decided on the food and wine banquet and invited two opera troupes to choose for Mrs. Wang to sing a one-day opera on her birthday.

When Mrs. Xue Wang came to Mrs. Wang's Courtyard with her children, Mrs. Shang, the sixth-rank Lanling guard Hu Zhouming who she had befriended, and Mrs. Chu, who had compiled Huang Qing from the sixth-rank Hanlin Academy, had already arrived.

The husbands of both of them are on good terms with Jia Zheng, and the wives of their families also have close contacts.Knowing that Mrs. Wang loves money, the two wives gave vulgar and vulgar yellow and white things.

Mrs. Xue Wang also presented a pair of extremely exquisite red gold and ruby ​​​​turbans, a pair of white jade bracelets, an emerald East Pearl Ruyi, four pieces of high-quality palace forgings, four pieces of high-quality palace yarn, and longevity peaches and longevity peaches. .

This kind of gift is even used to celebrate Jia Mu's birthday, which shows that the Xue Wang family is generous and arrogant to Mrs. Wang.Because of this, Mrs. Wang gained a good face in front of the guests, and for a while she pulled Mrs. Xue to ask her about her coldness and warmth.

At this time, someone from the front reported that Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, Beijing County Prince's Mansion, and Mrs. Nalan of Nian Mansion all had birthday presents.

The gifts from these three families were all affectionate, far less important than Xue Wang's gift, but some birthday cakes or pictures of birthday stars, and some silk gauze, nothing else.

But Mrs. Wang still took it respectfully, and took the heavy purse to ask the three government officials to drink tea.

Needless to say, Nan'an Palace and Beijing Palace have been friends for several generations, and they have always been friends with Jia's family and have close contacts. It is expected that they gave such a gift for Mrs. Wang's birthday this time.

And that Nian's Mansion was none other than Nian Gengyao's Mansion!

Originally, Rongguo Mansion and Nian Mansion had nothing to do with each other.

Mrs. Gein Wang's brother, Wang Ziteng, was Nian Gengyao's subordinate. He always looked down on him and flattered him.Although Nian Mansion is not close to Wang Ziteng's family, the knowledgeable and sensible Mrs. Nalan in Nian Mansion will always do her best for weddings and weddings of the Wang family.

Who is Mrs. Nalan?That is the daughter of Nalan Xingde, a famous poet in Qing Dynasty.Both upbringing and temperament are excellent, but it's a pity that she followed her father, and her body has always been weak.

However, as long as she feels refreshed, she is very willing to go out when encountering such things. Her personality is not dull or dull, and she can be said to love to join in the fun.It's just that in the past few years, my illness has become more and more serious, and I have become more and more unable to do what I want.

Because Xue Hong was young and his father was not at home, Mrs. Xue was afraid that it would be difficult for him to eat at the male guests' table. In a blink of an eye, he ran away without knowing where to find him, so he brought him to have a banquet with the female guests. Naturally, he was also in Mrs. Wang's courtyard.

As soon as he heard Nian Gengyao's year, his whole body trembled!
Even those who have never studied Qing history will be familiar with this name.

In Nian Gengyao's life, it took only a dozen years from his fortune to his ruin and family ruin.

Yongzheng loves face, even if he hated Nian Gengyao to death, he treated him very "gentlely" in the end, but if he died alone, most of his family members were properly settled, and the living males in the family were only Handing over to his father, Nian Xialing, did not make the Nian clan lose their children and grandchildren.

But those officials who were regarded as "year-old party" who followed him only ended up worse than the other. How could there be a good death?

This Wang Ziteng is actually attached to Nian Gengyao. Isn't this because he thinks he has a long life and is jumping into the graveyard by himself?
Wang Ziteng is now his direct uncle, as the saying goes, mother's uncle is the oldest, and now their family and Wang Ziteng's family are not as estranged as the original book said, they often walk around on weekdays, and they have a close friendship.

If the Wang family gets on the Nian family's boat and it capsizes one day, will the Xue family be implicated?

There is a reckless Xue Da fool, who has made Xue Hong uneasy like a time bomb, and another Wang family comes, can this make people worry?

Xue Hong was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. His mind was racing for a moment, thinking about what to do next, but he was very depressed.It's a pity that he can't tell anyone about his thoughts and worries, let alone anyone who can give him advice.Fortunately, there was a burst of laughter and laughter in the room, and no one noticed why a small child like him suddenly changed his expression.

"Qian'er heard that your family went to Li Ji's Restaurant to ask for a date. Has Zhu'er's wedding date been decided?" Xue Hong came back to his senses due to the laughter on the side, and then he heard Mrs. Huang ask this question.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "The wedding date has been set, it will be October [-]th this year."

After hearing this, everyone came to congratulate and praised Li Wan, the daughter of the Li family.

When the audience talked about Li Wan, they really thought she was a very good girl.Family background, virtuous conduct, butler management, and even needlework female celebrities can do everything, but they don't know much about writing.

This is exactly to Mrs. Wang's taste.She herself is not very literate, and she can only understand the words on the account books and scriptures. If the married daughter-in-law is literate and arrogant like Jia Zheng, what will happen to her as a mother-in-law? Make it right?
Kuang Li Wan's father once served as a sacrificial wine for the Imperial Academy, which was very beneficial to Jia Zhu's career in the imperial examination.The Li family is also a family of scholars from generation to generation, and there are also a few Jinshi in the family, but they are not related to each other, otherwise they must be very noble, and they may not look up to Jia Zhu.

But how can I say this easily?Who can become a couple with whom, is it determined?After all, it's just fate between the two of them.

The six ceremonies of marriage, accepting the lottery, asking the name, Najib, accepting the levy, asking for a date, and welcoming in person, have now passed the fifth and are only waiting to get married.Li Wan was so praised by everyone, Xue Hong also became a little curious about this Li Wan, but since the two parties got married, she never left home to embroider her dowry, and she didn't attend any banquets. She couldn't see her today. .

Besides, he is not Jia Baoyu, so there is no taboo. Even if Li Wan later marries into the Jia family, he is a foreigner, and I am afraid it will be difficult to see Sister-in-law Zhu in the future.

"Baoyu is here."

I don’t know which maid raised her voice and saw the big girl Xiren next to Baoyu personally open the curtain, a group of charming and charming maids wearing red and green surrounded by a group of red with joy, this devil king of Jia’s mansion appeared on the stage .

Xue Hong rubbed her nose, heh, I really miss Cao Cao Cao Cao.

Jia Baoyu still wears a purple gold crown inlaid with treasures, two dragons grabbing gold to wipe the forehead, a two-color gold dress with hundreds of butterflies pierced with flowers and red sleeves with arrows, a multicolored silk embroidered with flowers and a long tassel palace ribbon, and a bright red outer cover. Wearing a gorilla felt cloak and wearing red satin and pink-soled boots.There is a golden jade necklace on the neck, and there is a five-color silk ribbon tied with the psychic jade.

Although the memory of the original owner remained in his mind, this was the first time Xue Hong saw him.To be honest, Xue Hong didn't really like his outfit, it felt too girly.

Moreover, the original owner seemed to complain to his mother more than once, saying that Baoyu's red body was really vulgar and vulgar.

Ordinary sons and daughters of rich families usually use moon white, azurite, indigo, ink gray, etc. on their clothes. Even if they want to celebrate something, they usually use red sandalwood, green lotus, bay red and other colors. Fortunately, Baoyu has red lips and white teeth. Such a gaudy attire must make people laugh out loud.

Xue Wang also shook his head with a smile. In fact, when young masters and men used to use scarlet as the main color, the ancients believed that the purer the scarlet, the better it would be to ward off evil spirits.

However, they are boys after all. When they grow up, few people will make clothes for them in such bright colors.Baoyu... is a special case of being coddled.

However, the vulgarity is a bit more vulgar, but the whole body is full of jewels, and the wealth is overwhelming.Xue Hong thought that his appearance was Zhou Zheng, and when he looked at Baoyu, he couldn't help but bite his molar teeth and made a loud crunching sound, "Meow, I can't blame you for having to incur a romantic debt. If I had your appearance, I would plunge into the land of gentleness." Now, no one needs to teach you.

After Baoyu arrived, he greeted the elders present one by one. The etiquette was very good, and because of his good looks and good articulation, he was praised by all the ladies. Jia Mu's face was full of pride. After saying some greetings to Baoyu, she also ordered him to kowtow to her mother to celebrate her birthday. Mrs. Wang hugged Baoyu into her arms as usual and rubbed her heart and soul together, making Xue Hong's skin crawl all over the floor.

He couldn't help but turn around and wink at his own mother, the meaning was very clear: Mother, if you rub me like this in front of so many people, I will find someone to fuck you with immediately.I'm not joking with you, the young master is shameless.

Seeing her son's sour face, Mrs. Xue secretly pinched him, said "Narrow ghost" and threw away his hand.

Today's protagonist is Mrs. Wang, and it is impossible for her to show up where others are.

Besides, not to mention that her son didn't like it, watching her sister rub Baoyu made her feel a little numb.Why bother?Isn’t it just that you have a son in your family?But when he fell into the grass, he had one more stone than other sons, so his future is still unclear!
