After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

From the time when someone from the capital came to the south of the Yangtze River to purchase curios, bonsai, wood and stone, Baochai realized that the saints in the palace might have already started planning the harem concubine's family visit.

If it was in the previous life, or even just reborn, Baochai would certainly be able to know through memory that the sage would order concubines to visit relatives two years later, and he could even remind his father and brother from the side, so that the Xue family could make a fortune from it.

But after two years of in-depth study with his father, Baochai has been able to deduce from these clues that the concubine visiting relatives is definitely not a whim of the sage, and it is definitely not because of the old sage's sentiments.

Perhaps, the old sage's sentiments are there, and there is also some pity for the concubine who can't see her family for a long time.But behind this matter, there is definitely a sage's impetus.This whole thing was planned by the saint.

So, what good is it for the saint to let the concubines go home to visit their relatives?

First, it can buy people's hearts.

The people at the bottom are very foolish, the old sage sighed, and the sage immediately issued a decree to allow the concubine to meet with her family, this is filial piety.

Since the Han Dynasty, the founding emperors of all dynasties, no matter what they thought in their hearts, would say that they ruled the world with filial piety.

As the saying goes: Punishment is not as good as a doctor, and courtesy is not as good as a commoner.

The people at the bottom have to run around for their lives every day, and it would be too unreasonable to ask them with etiquette.

Therefore, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust are far away from the people at the bottom.Only this word "filial piety" is a virtue passed down from generation to generation since ancient times.No matter the poor or the poor, the rich or the noble, everyone can do filial piety.

Therefore, filial piety has been promoted in all dynasties.As long as a saint has a reputation of filial piety, he will take more initiative in public opinion, and everything will go smoothly in the future;

As for the second purpose of the saint, it is naturally to hug money.

Now, there are still two years before the concubine visits her relatives, and there is no news outside.So who sent these people who came to purchase large quantities of raw materials in the future?

Before and after Baochai contacted him, he didn't need to think too much, he knew that he was a saint.

The sage is obviously out of the idea of ​​getting rare goods to live in. When the time comes, he will specialize in earning money from these relatives, and attack all the nobles by the way.

But the memory of the previous life told Baochai that the sage had obviously achieved his goal.How many nobles are like the Jia family, they were first emptied of their inner pockets, and then completely abandoned.

However, this time has come in this life, and I haven't heard anything about Cousin Yuanchun being concubine.Maybe, this time the Jia family can escape, and their Xue family won't have to be implicated.

Baochai can only keep these things in his heart, and no one can confide in them.At most, I can give advice to my elder brother quietly so that the family can earn more money.Her father's mind was so good that she couldn't help but feel fooled.

When Baochai was contemplating and subconsciously stuffing rice grains into her mouth, Mrs. Xue took another chopsticks dish for her and urged her, "Don't just eat, eat some vegetables. I specifically ordered the kitchen to , several dishes are your favourites."

Baochai came back to her senses and smiled: "Thank you, Mom."

"Family, thank you for what you say." Xue Wang looked at her daughter with a smile, the more she looked at her, the more beautiful she was in her heart. Thinking of what happened in Li Xin's family today, she couldn't help but say, "It's still mine. Chai'er is so caring, unlike that girl from the Xin family, I'm afraid she will drive my parents to death!"

Hearing her mother mention Xin Xin, Baochai was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Sister Xin?"

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Xue sneered, her contemptuous expression fully expressed her dissatisfaction and disdain for Xin Xin, "What a girl's family, she didn't obey her parents' order and the matchmaker's words, she actually wanted to groom herself. If she kisses her father and mother, will she still harm her?"

Baochai's heart suddenly sank to the cold bottom.She suddenly felt a kind of sadness, a kind of sadness that mourns her misfortune, and angers her indisputable sadness.

——In this world, it is not men who oppress women the most, but those who are also women.

These women who oppress the same kind are like her mother, who are used to the three obediences and four virtues, and because of this, they live a decent and rich life, and their husbands are considerate; To intensify the torture of others.

In this world, women don't value, respect, or love themselves, so do you expect men to respect you?

Like her father Xue Duan, he is already a model of respecting and loving his wife.

However, Xue Duan has always been arbitrary in matters that need to be decided at home.Xue Wang also took it for granted.

Seeing her daughter's eyes suddenly turned red, Mrs. Xue thought she was worried about her little sister, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, Chai'er, how can this arm twist her thigh? Ms. Xin is probably dissatisfied with what Mrs. Xin told her Marriage, when Mrs. Xin finds her a good husband's family, she will be fine."

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but criticize Miss Xin: "This girl is really real, with such a temper. How could her own mother push her into the fire pit?"

Baochai's hand on her lap was clenched all of a sudden, and she tried her best not to speak against her mother.But she didn't want to agree, she just lowered her head and counted the rice grains with chopsticks.

At this time, Xue Duan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Mrs. Xin is looking for it. It's really not a good family."

When Xue Wang heard that there was an inside story, he hurriedly asked: "How do you say that?"

Xue Duan said: "This Liu family is from Suzhou. My wife doesn't go out, so I don't know. I often go to Suzhou to buy goods, so I heard some gossip. It is really this Mr. Liu who has some eccentricities. In his room, he has to carry it every year. Come out with two or three girls."

Baochai's scalp exploded when he heard this, and his heart welled up with anger: Father just went to Suzhou to run a business, and he had heard about it.The Xin family is about to get married, how could they not investigate the son-in-law clearly?It was clearly intended to push Sister Xin into the pit of fire!

She finally understood why Xin Xin broke so completely with her family.

But Xue Wang gave Xue Duan a look and spat: "Chai'er is still here, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Xue Duan smiled coyly: "My son is not inferior to a man, I ignored it for a while. Besides, Bao girl is getting older, it's good to know more about these, so as not to suffer later."

Xue Wang glared at him again, Xue Duan quickly softened: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything, can't I say nothing?"

Baochai took the opportunity to blushed, and lowered her head in a shy manner: "Master, Mom, I'm done eating, so I'm going back to my room first."

Xue Wang said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, then you can go back first."

Baochai led Ying'er and Que'er back to the room in a hurry, and told the two maids not to disturb her, they sat alone on the couch and meditated.

Just looking at her mother's attitude today, if she wants to emulate Xin Xin in the future, it will be as difficult as climbing the sky.On the contrary, it was the father who seemed more enlightened.

Baochai began to estimate in her heart that if she performed more outstandingly, her father would agree to the possibility of her setting up a female household.

At this time, Baochai began to rejoice that his brother Xue Pan's qualifications were not good.If she lobbied with the idea of ​​brother and sister supporting each other in the future, and the father who values ​​family inheritance the most, there is a certain probability that she would agree.

As for the issue of recruiting after setting up a female household...

Don't be in a hurry, you have to eat the meal one bite at a time, let's finish this step first.

After having a charter for his own affairs, Baochai began to worry about Xinxin.Although in her previous life, Xin Xin successfully separated from her family and lived a good life.But no one can guarantee that there will be no variables in this life.

After all, Rongguo Mansion could change the sky.

If Xin Xin's fate was changed because of her rebirth, she would blame herself for the rest of her life, and she would not be able to make up for it.

******

Yafengyuan is the courtyard of the Xin family uncle, and his wives and concubines naturally also live here.

At this time, Grandma Xin in the main room of Yafengyuan was also worried about her sister-in-law.

"How is it, have you heard about it?" Grandma Xin asked eagerly, staring at the little girl sent to inquire about the news.

In the entire Xin family, the only person she could talk to was her sister-in-law Xin Xin, how could she stand by at this time?

The little girl didn't even catch her breath, so she hurriedly reported: "Don't be impatient, grandma. At present, the news of the hunger strike has been reported by the eldest girl, but in fact, the maids of the eldest girl plant flowers and fold willows every day. Every family will share their meals with the older girls."

Grandma Xin frowned: "Both of them are growing, how can this be possible?" She was running around the room anxiously, but she was helpless.

The eldest maid, Cailiu, gave her an idea: "Why don't grandma go and persuade the eldest girl, and give the master and wife a softer first?"

Grandma Xin shook her head firmly: "No, this matter must not be subdued. Otherwise, my sister's life will be ruined."

Cailiu carefully glanced at the master, and then asked after deliberation: "But what's wrong with this marriage that the wife is looking for?"

"It's more than inappropriate?" Grandma Xin frowned, and said disgustedly, "Then Mr. Liu is simply not human!"

"What did you say?" Cailiu didn't know why, "Didn't Madam say that Mr. Liu is a promising man who has already started to take over the family business at a young age?"

Grandma Xin sneered again and again: If it weren't for Mr. Liu who is too capable of making decisions in the Liu family, the wife would not look down on him!After all, isn't the purpose of her marriage just to let her son-in-law take care of her son?

"This is the wife's brilliance." It is also the wife's cruelty.

Mr. Liu's hobbies are going crazy secretly in Suzhou City, but after all, he doesn't leave Suzhou.Even if my sister-in-law marries into the Liu family in the future, my wife can completely presume that she doesn't know what happened.Maybe, she can use this matter to plan more benefits for her good son.

Of course, it is also possible that the wife thinks that my sister-in-law is different from those maids, and Mr. Liu dare not treat his first wife like that.

But she didn't think about it, since the beginning of this marriage, the Xin family begged the Liu family, and the Xin family has always been in a weak position, so how could Mr. Liu have any scruples?

After all, Cailiu has been with Grandma Xin for many years, and she is not a stupid person. Hearing what Grandma said, after thinking about it for a while, I realized that this Mr. Liu must have other disadvantages, and it is still unacceptable. .

Although she couldn't guess what it was, how could his wife agree to something that could make her grandmother so disgusted?

"My wife loves the eldest girl so much, how can she agree to this marriage?"

Speaking of this, Grandma Xin couldn't help sighing secretly: This Xin family is really exhausted!

Why did Mrs. Xin agree so happily?

It was because of Mr. Liu's tricks that Mr. Xin lost his money by buying goods last month, and he was reprimanded by Mr. Xin.

Seeing that the son-in-law-to-be is so capable, Mrs. Xin has no reason not to agree?

But Grandma Xin didn't believe that Mr. Liu didn't earn more benefits in this matter.

Maybe they wanted to cheat Mr. Xin, and the so-called sincerity to Mrs. Xin was just a matter of passing.It was only Mrs. Xin who thought that it was her good son-in-law who honored her.
