Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Chapter 117 The Spring Festival Marriage

Xue Baobao rubbed his forehead, covered his lips and yawned restrainedly, "How about you go out for a walk with me? It's too warm here."

Zhen Yinglian's marriage has been officially decided, so it is naturally inconvenient to go out for a walk. Today, only Xue Baobao and Lin Daiyu accompanied Mrs. Xue.

Since Xue Baobao said this, Lin Daiyu had no choice but to accompany her out.

Tanchun saw him over there and followed him.

When the cold wind blew outside, Xue Baobao suddenly became energetic and said to Lin Daiyu, "Let's go to the garden."

Maybe you can get lucky and encounter a green pepper plant or something!

Lin Daiyu didn't know what Xiao Jiujiu was talking about. She glared at her angrily, but still accompanied her to the garden of the palace.

Tanchun asked why Zhen Yinglian didn't come.

Lin Daiyu explained the reason, and Tanchun sighed, "Our poetry club has just started for the first time, and Sister Zhen has already decided to get married, so it is inconvenient to go out again.

I heard that my second sister is also planning to get married, and I don’t know if she will be able to go out someday, and I don’t know if our poetry club will have a chance to start a second marriage.”

Xue Baobao frowned, Jia Yingchun's marriage?That Zhongshan Wolf?Is this the beginning?

Lin Daiyu was also sad, "Yes, now it's Sister Zhen and the second sister, and then there's Sister Bao, you and the fourth sister.

In the end, I was the only one left, let alone the poetry club, I couldn’t even find anyone to talk to.”

Xue Baobao pretended to be puzzled, "Why are you the only one left? Not to mention Sister Tanchun, at least you should be ahead of Sister Xichun, right?"

Lin Daiyu glanced at her and asked, "Has the second sister settled down? Which family is it?"

Tanchun glanced at Yingchun quietly, pulled Xue Baobao and Lin Daiyu behind, and came over to chat with them, "Actually, we shouldn't be asking about such things.

But I heard that the old lady, the second master, and the second brother Lian all disagreed. Only the eldest master insisted on having his own way and felt it was inappropriate, so he went to inquire about it.

The eldest master wanted to marry his second sister to the Sun family of Datong Prefecture. His ancestor was also an army officer, so Sun Shaozu, who gave his second sister to him, would now assume the command position.

It sounds like he is from the same family as ours, but I heard that Sun Shaozu has a lustful and violent temper and is definitely not a good match.

It’s just that the eldest man didn’t listen to the advice at all, and the old lady couldn’t persuade her deeply. You all know the temper of the second sister, so she didn’t say anything and just said that she would let her parents make the decision.”

Xue Baobao asked from his soul, "Since you know that you are definitely not a good match, why can't you even persuade the old lady?

The old lady can drive the eldest man to live in a separate courtyard separated from the garden of Rongguo Mansion. How come it is her granddaughter’s turn to get married and she can’t make the decision? "

Xue Baobao was really confused. This was what she was most confused about when she was reading the book.

In this world where filial piety is paramount, Jia's mother has always favored Jia Zheng's family members, which overwhelms her family. Why can't Jia Yingchun suddenly lose control of her marriage when it's her turn?

Even though he knew it was a big fire pit, he sent Jia Yingchun into it!

Tanchun was choked by her question, and Na Na was speechless.

Lin Daiyu is the most kind-hearted and righteous person. After hearing this, she immediately said, "I'll go ask my grandmother!"

Tanchun said hurriedly, "Little ancestor, please don't cause trouble. The old lady has been upset about this matter these days!"

Xue Baobao continued to ask, "Upset? How upset are you?

Are you annoying enough to call the elder over, scold him, slap him awake, and threaten him to go back to Jinling if he really dares to send Sister Yingchun to the wolf's den? "

The most common tactic used by Jia Mu was to threaten to go back to Jinling. Every time she mentioned going back to Jinling, Jia She and Jia Zheng were so frightened that they kowtowed to plead guilty and never dared to disobey again.

Xue Baobao didn't understand why it was Jia Yingchun's turn to marry, and Jia's mother didn't even threaten to return to Jinling.

Tanchun was speechless for a long time, then glared at her again, "Sister Zhenzhenbao has such a mouth, I really don't know what to say!"

Xue Baobao shrugged, "I'm a dullard and I can only tell the truth."

Tanchun sighed, "If you are stupid, there will be no smart people in the world."

Lin Daiyu angrily said, "You can't really ask the second sister to marry such a person!"

Xue Baobao smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister, Tanchun can't control this matter, and you can't get involved.

But there is one person who can definitely manage it, and he can manage it appropriately and well! "

Lin Daiyu suddenly realized, "Sister Feng!"

Wang Xifeng is Yingchun's eldest sister-in-law and the head wife of the Rongguo Mansion. It would be perfect for her to intervene in this matter.

Lin Daiyu was very excited, "Sister Bao is right, Sister Feng couldn't be more suitable!

It's a pity that Sister Feng can't come today because she's pregnant, otherwise we could just ask Sister Feng."

Tanchun quietly glanced at Yingchun again and said sheepishly, "Sister Bao, Sister Lin, I came here today just to ask you to ask the second sister-in-law for help. The fourth sister and I will also go to ask the second sister-in-law for help.

The elder has made up his mind. It is very difficult. Even the second sister-in-law may not be able to persuade the elder to change his mind. We should go to the second sister-in-law together."

But she was afraid that if she asked Wang Xifeng to take action, Wang Xifeng might not betray her face.

Xue Baobao smiled and said, "I dare not say anything else. Sister Yingchun is the biological sister of Second Master Lian, so Sister Feng will definitely take care of this matter.

After all, Sister Feng is a junior, and the eldest father is Sister Feng's father-in-law, so Sister Feng doesn't dare to take action directly.

According to me, we don’t have to beg her, we just need to wait and see her take action when she seizes the opportunity! "

Well, it is clearly written in the original book that Jia She owed Sun Shaozu five thousand silver and was unwilling to repay the debt, so he took Jia Yingchun to pay the debt.

At worst, she would give Wang Xifeng some silver and let Wang Xifeng use it to bribe Jia She.

Add a pair of bracelets and ask Wang Xifeng to bribe Mrs. Xing, promising to throw this broken relationship away immediately!

Tanchun was smart and perceptive, and when he saw Lin Daiyu constantly winking at him, he knew that Xue Baobao was trying to make Wang Xifeng's face by his words, and he would definitely beg Wang Xifeng to take action in private, so he felt relieved.

Silently thinking about how to beg Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng would be more likely to take action.

Xue Baobao yawned and asked strangely, "Why didn't cousin Baoyu come today?"

Tanchun smiled and sighed, "Uncle asked him to come yesterday with the male guests. He was a little afraid of uncle, so he didn't even ask to come today."

Xue Baobao also laughed, "There is someone who can control him."

It saves you the trouble of being crowded among them again and getting confused!

Several girls were chatting and walking towards the garden. Before they reached the garden, a maid from the Wang family came to invite them.

Mrs. Xue asked them to go together to visit Mrs. Wang who was still recovering from illness in the palace.

In this era of etiquette and law, even if Xue Baobao didn't want to, he could only accompany Mrs. Xue to visit Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang was very enthusiastic and asked Wang Xiluan to personally lead the way for several people.

<divclass="contentadv">Mrs. Wang's cold had recovered, but she was still very haggard. When she saw Mrs. How to ignore it.

Mrs. Xue was the most soft-hearted and could not help but shed tears too.

The two sisters held their heads and cried for a long time. Mrs. Wang reluctantly held back her tears and said, "Let the children go out and play by themselves. They are always restrained here."

Wang Xiluan had long been eager to say something, and hurriedly saluted and walked out. Xue Baobao and others naturally followed.

After leaving the courtyard, Wang Xiluan said, "Looking at the time, the guests are almost here. I'll go to my wife's to see if there is anyone who can help. You can do whatever you want."

For occasions like this, loved ones usually arrive early, or even arrive in the first few days.

Because of the busyness of such an occasion, there are many distinguished guests, and I am afraid that I will be neglected, so my relatives can help to some extent.

It was for this reason that Mrs.

However, Wang Xiluan didn't even mention asking Xue Baobao and others to help entertain the guests. After saying that, he walked away, as if he was afraid of being entangled by them and insisting on entertaining the guests with her and getting the glory.

But since she said this, Xue Baobao and the others naturally didn't rush to help, so they continued walking towards the garden.

Well, ever since he found green peppercorns in Wang's garden, Xue Baobao has been obsessed with their garden.

Tanchun couldn't help but sigh, "How could someone like Uncle Zhenzhen—"

"Why did you give birth to such a stupid, poisonous and narrow-minded girl like Miss Wang!"

Lin Daiyu is an upright person, but she doesn't dare to speak like Tanchun. She snorted coldly, "But it's not strange. She just looks like her aunt, and my niece looks like my aunt. There's nothing strange about it."

Xue Baobao laughed and shook his head. He felt uneasy thinking about it and told Ah Wei to go back and eavesdrop.

Who knew that Mrs. Wang had been imprisoned for such a long time and was taken back to her parents' home by Prince Teng, but no one from the Jia family came to pick her up. Could she be harboring some bad ideas?

Ahwei happily accepted the order and left. Tanchun was dumbfounded, and after a while he said, "Sister Bao, I have convinced you today."

Xue Baobao waved his hand proudly, "Our wife is soft-hearted. I am afraid that she will be coaxed by your wife again. It is said that everything must be told to others, so why does it matter if you listen?"

Tanchun, "..."

Is it now a matter of telling others everything?

Spring has begun at this time, and the garden of the palace is colorful, which makes people feel happy just looking at it.

Lin Daiyu happily folded a drunken concubine Yang hairpin and put it into Xue Baobao's bun, clapped her hands and said with a smile, "My sister is plump and beautiful, and her beauty is comparable to that of Concubine Yang. This flower is the perfect match for my sister."

Xue Baobao, "..."

Sister, in our time, saying someone looked like Concubine Yang was definitely not a compliment!

Of course, it doesn’t seem to be the case in this day and age.

Xue Baobao remembered that in the original work, Jia Baoyu once said that Xue Baochai looked like Concubine Yang Guifei, which made Xue Baochai, who was easily angered, very angry.

Tanchun smiled and said, "If Sister Bao is Concubine Yang, then Sister Lin, you are definitely Xizi.

Why don't we go over there and take a look at the koi, and see if we can sink all the koi in the pond at my uncle's house! "

Lin Daiyu was not as thick-skinned as Xue Baobao. She was blushing when Tan Chun teased her, and she immediately retorted, "I heard your slaves praised you as a rose, so why don't you let me see if you have thorns on your body?"

She originally said it as a joke, but Tanchun was stunned when he heard it, his eye circles immediately turned red, and he asked bitterly, "Sister Lin, which slave did you listen to?"

Could it be that she and her eldest sister-in-law had been helping the second sister-in-law manage the house recently, and it was because she had offended someone that she asked them to arrange her in this way?

Lin Daiyu was also stunned, knowing that she had said the wrong thing, and she hurriedly said no.

Tanchun held her hand and cried, "Sister, I don't blame you, I just hate that I am useless and have all the slaves assigned."

Sisters joke with each other. You call me a peony, and I call you a hibiscus. This is called mutual business bragging, and it has nothing to do with it.

But a group of slaves dared to say that about their master, and they were talking about "roses"!

Although roses are beautiful, they have thorns, which is definitely not a good word in this era where women are respected for their "women's words and virtues".

Tanchun had always been very taboo about her birth as a concubine, so no wonder she was so angry.

Lin Daiyu explained a few words dryly and looked at Xue Baobao for help.

Xue Baobao sighed, "Third sister, you don't have to suffer yourself. It's not like you don't know about those slaves in your family. Even Sister Feng, they dared to arrange it.

Now, although Sister Feng has taken over the housekeeping duties, she is pregnant and cannot deal with her in a drastic way. You just have to wait and see her venting her anger on you in the future."

Because Wang Xifeng was pregnant, Li Wan and Tanchun were asked to help with many chores.

Tan Chun also knew that Xue Baobao was telling the truth, but he couldn't calm down in his heart. He said bitterly, "It's just as long as they don't get caught by me. If they are caught by me, I will definitely pull them out." Get off their tongues!”

If Lin Daiyu said this, Xue Baobao would definitely think that she was just having fun with it, but Tanchun is really possible!

Although this person has always been cautious and did not dare to make mistakes because of her background, her nickname of rose is not for nothing.

If he really got into trouble with her, she would not remain silent like in the spring, let alone spare others as easily as Lin Daiyu did before. She would only know how to suffer from herself and then cry hard. She would definitely cry hard. Give it back!

In the original book, when they were copying the Grand View Garden, one of the culprits, Wang Shanbao's family, suffered a big loss at her hands. Even Wang Xifeng, the supervisor, had to coax her in a low voice.

To be honest, Xue Baobao appreciates this temperament.

Maybe it's because she's not smart enough, has a soft temper, and has no ambitions. She admires women like Wang Xifeng and Tanchun who are smart, capable, flexible, and will never let anyone take advantage of her at critical moments.

When she watched "A Dream of Red Mansions", the ones she admired most were Wang Xifeng and Tan Chun.

While the others were talking, Awei ran over excitedly, took Xue Baobao aside, and whispered, "Girl, the second wife of the Jia family is talking to our wives about the second master's marriage!"

They said that they would marry their third girl to our second husband. He said that their third girl was beautiful and capable, and she and our second husband were cousins, so it was most suitable.

I saw our wife very happy, and she kept saying that she didn’t dare to insult the third girl in their family! "

Xue Baobao, "..."

Xue Pan and Tan Chun?

She admired Mrs. Wang's imagination.

Xue Baobao sighed, everyone was really careless. After telling Ah Wei not to tell anyone, he took Lin Daiyu aside to whisper.

Lin Daiyu was also stunned after hearing this, "Second brother and third sister?"
