After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Because Yuanchun entered the palace early, Jia Lian and Yuanchun got along, and Baoyu was also taught by Yuanchun.Both of them have a certain relationship with Yuan Chun, and they came here to send off their marriage with a feeling of reluctance and gratification.

It is often said that a woman is a pearl before she is married, and Baoyu becomes a pearl after she is married. After hearing too many gossips, she also hopes that her big sister who left her can find a good home and don't have to suffer from those mediocre people. finger pointing.

But Wang Xifeng is different.

Although she met Yuan Chun when she was a guest at Jia's house.But at that time, both Jiamu and Mrs. Wang hoped that Yuanchun would become a gentle and quiet concubine so that she could please the nobles in the future, so why would she be willing to let her play with the tomboy Sister Feng?

Therefore, there is no relationship between them.

Not only that, because of Wang's acting as a demon, Sister Feng still has the intention of venting her anger towards Yuan Chun, and she cheated her without discussing it.

In Sister Feng's mind, how much money did Wang steal from the public by taking advantage of the housekeeper?These are all things from their big house.

Although when the family was separated, Jia Amnesty forced Mrs. Wang to spit out all the things she stole.But Sister Feng didn't believe that Mrs. Wang would obediently return everything.

Therefore, after getting the 5000 taels of silver for Yuanchun's dowry, Sister Feng had no intention of actually using all of the 5000 taels.Anyway, when the time comes, she will say that she is not familiar with the place where she lived in Jinling, and she was tricked when she was shopping.Can Yuanchun go door-to-door asking questions?

But now, since Yuan Chun gave her such a big gift, she couldn't get angry at Yuan Chun because of Mrs. Wang anymore.

——Forget it, just 5000 taels of silver, even if she racked her brains, how much can she keep?Just make a good relationship.

Yuan Chun also escaped the catastrophe unknowingly, although she was not short of that little money at all.She originally intended to return the banknotes she had saved for her useless use in the palace to her mother to subsidize the family.But the words and deeds of Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng made her feel completely chilled.

He couldn't find a sense of security from his parents, and Baoyu seemed unreliable. Yuanchun hardly had to think about it, so he let go of his initial thoughts, changed his mind decisively, and took the money with him.

Because of Wang Xifeng's dedication and the support of Mrs. Xue Wang, Yuanchun's wedding was held in a decent and lively manner.

Seeing that the old man who had a miserable fate in the previous life has a good destination in this life, Baochai felt a sense of relief and pride from the bottom of his heart.

——Since Cousin Yuanchun can change fate, can Sister Lin also be able to?

Yuan Chun married Mr. Qi, and Mr. Qi got a sweetheart to be his sweet wife. He was very grateful to Xue Duan, who was their uncle and uncle.Knowing that Xue Duan wanted to set up a female household for his beloved daughter, he said that it was not a matter at all, and he didn't need to go through Master Yang.

But he really regarded Xue Duan as his own. Although he could do it himself, he still introduced Mr. Yang for Xue Duan. Taking this incident as an opportunity, Xue Duan and Mr. Yang established a preliminary friendship.

This matter is not only what Xue Duan wished for, but Master Yang is also happy to see it come true.

Mr. Yang just arrived here, not only the wealthy squires like the Xue family and the Xiao family wanted to find out about Mr. Yang's temperament and bottom line, but also Mr. Yang wanted to reveal something to them that he wanted them to know.

It's only because of one official term, but only three years, but these wealthy and squires have been rooted here for generations, and the forces between each other are intertwined.If these people intend to make trouble for him, Mr. Yang, let alone making political achievements here, might find it difficult to get out of his body.

This is because Jinling is a prosperous inland town.I don't know how many of those officials who were officials in the border or southern Xinjiang died because they offended the squires.

Originally, because of Master Lu, Mr. Yang chose the Huang family as the breakthrough point.In return, he didn't mind protecting the Huang family during his tenure.

But the appetite of the Huang family was so great that they tried to pass him in vain and suppress all the squires in Jinling in one fell swoop.However, many people refused to accept it, so the Huang family made no progress for a long time.Master Yang has been dissatisfied with this for a long time, and has long thought of changing his family.

Therefore, upon hearing that Master Qi is going to marry the Xue family, Mr. Yang is happy to see it happen.

Now, after Mr. Qi set up a bridge, Master Yang showed some interest after meeting with Xue Duan and Xue Zhi.After he returned, he would contact Xiao's family, and then organize a group of gentry for an outing on the Shangsi Festival.

"Jieshi, if your lord has time, please bring your esteemed wife with you to have fun with the people."

Seeing him go on the road like this, Master Yang laughed loudly: "Definitely, definitely."

The host and guest enjoyed themselves for a while.

By the time Xue Duan came out of Mr. Yang's house, Baochai's household registration had already been confirmed.

******

"It's done! Haha." As soon as Xue Duan got home, he showed off to his wife.

Although the words were endless, Mrs. Xue has been worrying about this matter all day, so she naturally knows what her husband is talking about.

She breathed a sigh of relief almost immediately, and couldn't help clenching her hands: "That's really great!"

She herself admitted that among the two children, because Xue Pan was a boy and the first child who stabilized her status, she loved her son Xue Pan more.

But her daughter is in pain too.

If it is an ordinary family, if they learn that their daughter hates the approach of men, they will definitely feel that this is a shame, and they will think that there is something wrong with their daughter.Even, for the sake of the family's reputation, they will force their daughters to marry.

Anyway, for people like them, as long as they don't want to climb up the royal family, they must be the main family if they marry.Isn't it just that you don't like having sex with your husband?This is nothing to worry about, the big deal is to adopt a son born to my concubine at that time!As long as the sons and mothers are left behind, they are well-raised, and they are not much different from their own.

——This is the most common and natural way for most parents to deal with it.

But Xue Wang quickly compromised with her daughter, and famously said that she would help her daughter solve the problem and let her not think too much.

Xue Duan has always been the one to take decisions on major matters in the Xue family, and Xue Wang is also used to listening to her husband.

However, on this matter, she immediately compromised with her daughter without even considering her husband's attitude.

You must know that Xue Duan, as the head of the clan, is unlikely to tolerate his daughter's nonsense for such a matter that may affect the family's reputation.

Yes, just like what Xin Xin did, in Xue Duan's view, it was nonsense.

It can be seen from this that Xue Wang's love for his daughter.

Seeing that she was so happy, Xue Duan poured cold water on her: "Since Chai'er has established a female household, she is the same as her son. In the future, the family property will also be shared with her. I don't know, Pan'er has nothing to do with him. What does the daughter-in-law think, and what does the Lou family think?"

When mentioning Lou's family, Mrs. Xue became furious, snorted, and said: "This is our family's own business. Don't say that Lou's family only produced a prince and concubine, he just produced a concubine. There is no reason to meddle in other people's affairs."

"As for Pan'er and his wife...that child is reasonable." In the end, she had no confidence.

From the current point of view, Lou Yuyao is pretty good. She respects her parents-in-law, loves her husband, and loves her sister-in-law.

But that was all because her interests were not shaken.

The Xue family's wealth is not tens of thousands of taels, or even more than a few hundred thousand taels.In this era when five liang of silver is enough for a family of ten to eat for a year, this is definitely a fortune that can make brothers turn against each other and husband and wife become enemies.

If they married honestly, no matter how much Xue Duan and his wife loved their daughter, they would be able to give her a dowry of [-] yuan.

But if Baochai is treated like a son, then at least [-]% of her family property should be divided like the second son.

Let me ask, in this world, how many people have no emotions when facing so much money flowing out of their hands?

Xue Wangshi judges others by himself, and he doesn't think he will be so generous.

Xue Duan shook his head secretly, and decided to solve this matter by himself.

The key to this matter lies with the Lou family and Xue Pan.Don't look at Xue Wang's saying that this is a family matter, and no one else can control it.But Lou Yuyao is the daughter of the Lou family. When the Lou family married their daughter, they never expected that the Xue family's daughter would set up a female household and compete with her son-in-law for family property.

If this matter is not resolved, his Xue family will inevitably be suspected of cheating on the marriage.

On the contrary, it was his son Xue Pan, Xue Duan was not very worried.

Maybe Xue Pan has a lot of unsatisfactory things, but it is really good to treat relatives.Let alone give Chai'er [-]% of the family property, even if it is to give Chai'er half, Pan'er will not have any objections.

After taking care of both the Lou family and Pan'er, Lou Yuyao is a girl, she has to compromise whether she likes it or not.

After doing some calculations, it turns out that this matter is the Xue family's family business, and the most important thing is to get the Lou family settled.Thinking about it, Xue Duan couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, Madam, make preparations, and invite Mrs. Xiao to the house tomorrow."

Xue Wang knew it, and asked gloatingly: "But the Huang family..." She didn't finish, but gave her husband a meaningful look.

Xue Duan nodded with a smile, and said disdainfully: "If you don't have such a big head, don't fight for such a big hat. It is obvious that it has the same appetite as a house cat, but it wants to compete with the lynx. It deserves it to die!"

If the Huang family hadn't been so greedy and had contacted the Xue family and the Xiao family early on, the two families were concerned about Master Lu and had to accept the Huang family's favor, so they would naturally help the Huang family to suppress the other families.

But the self-confidence of the Patriarch of the Huang family was overwhelming, so the Xue family and the Xiao family had no choice but to stand on the sidelines.

Sure enough, the Huang family killed themselves.

The meeting with Mrs. Xiao went very smoothly.Mrs. Xiao is not a person who wants to be strong, otherwise, she would not have cultivated Grandma Lu without any grievances.

And Xue Duan understands the risk of being the only one out there, and has no intention of suppressing the Xiao family's dominance.He even felt that the most stable one would be the most stable if one family rises and the three families restrain each other.

Originally, the Huang family had this opportunity.But now...

Hehe, let's take a look again.

After reaching a consensus with the Xiao family, the two families distributed posts to the acquaintances, and avoided the Huang family tacitly.The people who received the post were not fools, knowing that the Huang family was going to lose money this time, they silently decided to distance themselves from the Huang family.

The head of the Huang family also realized that he overestimated himself and underestimated the Xue family and the Xiao family too.At this moment, he was regretting sending gifts everywhere.But no one wants to talk to him.

Who made their family so arrogant?

After the Shangsi Festival, Master Yang reached a tacit understanding with the rich and gentlemen of Jinling, and the magistrate's yamen finally began to operate normally.

Of course, these have little to do with Baochai.What Baochai was more concerned about was the matter of hard work and hard work, and finally hired a few embroiderers from Hangzhou and Huzhou with a lot of money.

As for Suzhou, because Liu's family is in Suzhou, Xin Xin didn't want to make trouble, so she didn't go.

The embroiderer was born, and with the help of her aunt's influence, Xin Xin recruited some orphans and helpless widows to do embroidery and odd jobs. Her Linglong Embroidery Workshop finally had a shelf.

In her own words, the Grass Team has finally been set up.

In the beginning, because of Xin Xin's own bad reputation, the embroidery workers she used were orphans and widows. Not many people were willing to go to their embroidery workshop to buy things, and they almost all relied on Baochai and Xiao Ling for support. with.

But no matter how big the Xue family and Xiao family are, the embroidery products they use are limited.Moreover, such a big family like theirs raised their own needleworkers, and it was impossible for the masters to use outside things for their clothes.

Therefore, at the beginning, the business of Linglong Embroidery Workshop can be described as bleak.

But Xin Xin refused to admit defeat, not only asked the embroiderers to train the embroiderers in their skills, but also studied hard and worked hard on the patterns.Moreover, the novelty of the pattern is not enough, she also researched to paint the pattern on Sujuan, use Sujuan as the base, and embroider three-dimensional flowers, birds and caterpillar fungus.

As the saying goes, the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys.

The embroidery made by Linglong Embroidery Workshop is not only unique, but also of good quality, so Xin Xin gave some embroidered handkerchiefs to her sisters who were acquainted in the past.

Although these girls dare not have sex with her because of the majesty of the elders, not all of them are so heartless.

In addition, through the way of Baochai, Yuanchun also used small things such as purses and silk fans embroidered by Linglong Embroidery Workshop.Yuan Chun can often drink tea with Mrs. Yang's wife.When Mrs. Yang saw such exquisite embroidery, it was inevitable that she would ask a question.Yuan Chun was entrusted by his cousin, so he naturally praised the craftsmanship of Linglong Embroidery Workshop without any trace.

Mrs. Yang is already the magistrate's wife, so naturally she won't have any more scruples.She likes the embroidery from Linglong Embroidery Workshop, so she will naturally let people buy it.

After Xin Xin learned about it, she personally delivered the goods to her door, saying: My wife thinks highly of us and takes care of our business. All the sisters are very grateful.I gave these things to my wife as a thank you for her kindness.

Mrs. Yang saw that she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she was graceful and graceful, and she could not help admiring her.

"Boss Xin is quite different from the rumors."

Those rumors obviously couldn't be anything good.

Xin Xin smiled slightly, and didn't care at all: "They love to pass it on, let them pass it on, I just live my own life."

Mrs. Yang nodded: "You are very good. If you have time in the future, come and talk to me."

She is not the kind of person who follows others. The level of the Xin family is not qualified enough for the magistrate's wife to appreciate her.But Xin Xin's performance made her appreciate it very much.

Mrs. Yang felt that Xin Xin was not an unreasonable person, and that if she could be forced to leave the house, the Xin family didn't know what they had done?She is a little girl living alone, she is really pitiful, Mrs. Yang wants to give her a hand.

Xin Xin was overjoyed.

Originally, she was thinking that by taking advantage of Mrs. Yang's purchase of their embroidery, she would take advantage of the prefect's wife's tiger skin and expand her family's embroidery business.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yang was so kind that she was willing to let her come and go from the magistrate's mansion at will.

This is a rare blessing, at least during Master Yang's tenure, no one dared to seek trouble in Linglong Embroidery Workshop.

"Thank you Madam. If Madam needs it in the future, we must put Madam first in our embroidery shop."

Xin Xin didn't say anything about giving it away for nothing in the future, which seemed a bit contemptuous.But there are some things that don't need to be said explicitly. It is best to know each other well and tacitly.

Sure enough, Mrs. Yang was very satisfied with her debut, and when she got together with the officials and wives the next day, she wore a sachet from Linglong Embroidery Workshop, and the silk fan in her hand was also sent by Xin Xin.

These days, it is popular to work from top to bottom.The magistrate of Jinling is the pinnacle of the pagoda of Jinling City, and Mrs. Yang's outfit is naturally the weathervane for all the officials and wives in Jinling.

Therefore, after this gathering, all the officials and wives flocked to order a large number of sachets, round fans, embroidered handkerchiefs, sweat towels and other odds and ends.

There are also those low-grade ones whose families can't afford to support needleworkers, so they even have their clothes tailored for visitors when they go out at Linglong Embroidery Workshop.Needless to say the effect of the upper body, the wives who were not cutting clothes outside also decided to go back with two bodies.

As for Mrs. Yang, of course they received it first.

Linglong Embroidery Workshop was all the rage for a while, and those rich ladies naturally followed the officials' wives.Otherwise, there will be one less common topic when flattering others.

As for the ordinary people below, the rich make clothes for the whole family during the New Year and festivals, and the daughters of poor families are also proud of having an embroidery from Linglong Embroidery Workshop.

However, in just one year, Xin Xin made Linglong Embroidery Workshop into a signboard with the help of the magistrate's wife.Although this signboard cannot be compared with the world-famous "Hui Embroidery", Huiniang has been in the soil for many years, and there are only a few embroideries left in the world, but Linglong Embroidery Workshop can continuously produce new styles and new stitches.

However, the reputation of Linglong Embroidery Workshop is getting bigger and bigger, and it radiates around with one branch after another. More than ten years later, together with Baochai's daughter Fangrouzhi Shop and Xiao Ling's Weirui Pavilion Potted Plant Shop, it has become a bonsai shop. The entire Great Xia Dynasty was used up and down as a sign to show that they had status and knowledge.

But now, Xin Xin's embroidery workshop has finally opened up, Baochai and Xiao Ling are relieved for her.

——She broke through the door, if she can't make a person, I'm afraid that people outside will use more vicious and ugly words to make her up.Even Mr. Xin would regret it if he couldn't say it, and wanted back the family property that was given to her.

Now, Xinxin has established her foothold, and Baochai has also set up a female household, but Xiao Ling is still trapped in the cage, which makes people worry about her.

"What are you going to do?"

Not only Mrs. Xiao asked her daughter with a sigh, but Baochai and Xin Xin also asked them worriedly.

But Xiao Ling himself was not in a hurry, and smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I have my own ideas."

Baochai asked, "What's your idea?"

For some reason, she always felt unreliable.

Xiao Ling didn't want to say anything at first, but Baochai couldn't stop Baochai from being soft-spoken, so he could only say: "Second Young Master of the Liu family, do you know?"

Baochai and Xin Xin thought about it for a moment, and couldn't help but glance at each other, seeing the same frown on the other side's face, they were sure that they were not mistaken.

"Is that the sick man?" Xin Xin asked.

"Yes, it's him."

Baochai's bad premonition grew stronger, and she asked cautiously, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"I didn't want to do anything." Xiao Ling said nonchalantly, "I heard that he is going to die soon. After he's gone, I'll find someone to go to Liu's house, and let him know that I fell in love with Second Master Liu at first sight. If you want to get married, encourage the Liu family to come to my house to propose marriage."

Xin Xin understood: "You want to get married in the dark?"

"That's right." Xiao Ling nodded, marrying a dead person would save a lot of trouble.

"Naive, ridiculous!"

Baochai wanted to give her two slaps to wake her up.

Xiao Ling was startled: "What do you mean?"

Xin Xin's heart moved, and she hurriedly asked: "What does my sister know?"

"You don't need to know the inside story?" Baochai stared at Xiao Ling with a foolish look, and scolded mercilessly: "Before you made this decision, didn't you inquire about it? Which one is married to someone?" Married women, aren't they being treated more strictly by their in-laws, for fear that they won't be able to bear the loneliness and give their dead son... ahem."

It was really hard for Baochai to say that word, but in this context, Xin Xin and Xiao Ling knew what it meant after a little association.Then, the two of them also blushed and coughed.

Xiao Ling was taken aback, but still did not give up and said: "Those women have to be manipulated by their husband's family because their natal family has no influence. But our Xiao family is different."

"It's different." Baochai sneered, "Do you think that if the husband's family wants to discipline the daughter-in-law, the eldest lady will intervene?"

This... really won't.

Xiao Ling was dumbfounded.

But Baochai didn't let her go, and continued to sneer and said: "At that time, it will be light to not let you go out, and force you to chant scriptures and pray for your dead husband. Shen Tang, I'm afraid the Xiao family won't say much for their own reputation."

Xiao Ling couldn't help shaking, and swallowed: "No... no way?"

Baochai said: "In our Jinling city, there is no precedent for ghost marriage, but there are many places in the countryside. Send someone to inquire a little bit, and see if I am alarmist?"

Baochai was poor in his old age in his previous life, so what hasn't he seen?Anyone who has a ghost marriage is giving himself to the control of his in-laws.And because I didn't have a husband, I was trapped in darkness from the very beginning, unable to see any light.

Those women who married ghosts were all bought back by their in-laws because their families were poor.Either the son died in this family, and the daughter happened to die in that family.In order to let the children have a companion, the two families discussed to bury the two children together.

For someone as fast as Xiao Ling, people would only think that she has a brain problem.

After talking about this, Xiao Ling had no choice but to believe it.

"It seems that this road is not going to work."
