Happy Life in the Red Chamber
Chapter 57 Xue Baochai 3
When they arrived in the capital, Baochai thought they were going to stay in a hotel. After all, her father said that the old house was very dilapidated and needed major renovations before they came. She didn't expect a horse-drawn carriage to pick them up as soon as they arrived in Tongzhou.
Baochai secretly tugged at Xue Pan: "Brother, whose carriage is so magnificent?" Xue Pan shook his head, "I don't know!" Come over and see Elder Brother Thirteen."
Baochai and Xue Pan glanced at each other, their father's face is quite big, the thirteenth elder brother came to pick him up in person?The two of them went up to greet Thirteenth Elder Brother respectfully, Thirteenth Elder Brother smiled brightly, pulled down the waist knife hanging from his waist and stuffed it to Xue Pan, and gave the jade pendant to Baochai.
Baochai and Xue Pan glanced at Xue Xun, saw him nodding before accepting and thanked Brother Thirteen.Elder Brother Thirteen patted Xue Xun: "Brother Xue and Thirteen are so polite, let's go, Fourth Brother is still waiting in front."
On the way, Baochai learned that the thirteenth elder brother did not pick them up specially, but just happened to be with the fourth elder brother on an errand, so he picked them up along the way.
They did live in an inn at the beginning, but they didn't need to pay for this inn.Brother Nine owns an inn and lives in a beautiful private courtyard.After settling down, Xue Xun started looking for craftsmen to renovate the old house.
After going through the door, he hired skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, paid enough money, and hired many people. In less than half a month, the main courtyard and the courtyard where Baochai lived were renovated.Baochai went to see it a few times in the middle, and put forward some requirements of her own. When it was repaired and went to see it, everything was suitable.
So the three of them led the young men to move to the old house, and Xue Pan was in charge of watching the house every day, and let them continue to renovate other yards.Baochai bought a low-level spirit gathering array from the mall, and after the old house was completely renovated, she opened the gathering spirit array.Enveloping the entire house, entering the house gives people a very comfortable feeling like a spring breeze.
The original owner has two wishes, one is to hope that the parents are safe and healthy, the elder brother will not cause trouble, and the family will be reunited.The second is not to get involved with Jia Baoyu and have a happy marriage.
Baochai felt that she had basically achieved the first one, and it was not difficult not to have anything to do with Jia Baoyu, but the difficulty lay in a happy marriage.If you look for it in modern times, you can find it casually, but in ancient times, the standard of happiness and beauty is not very clear for blind marriages in ancient times. It is not easy to deal with what exactly meets her requirements.
After thinking about it, Baochai felt that taking one step at a time meant that when the task was completed, if the client was not satisfied, at most he would be severely criticized by the minister.It's okay, she has a thick skin, and when the time comes, she will squat on the ground with her head in her arms and let the minister scold her casually.Right now, there are many tasks and few tasks to be done. The minister will never fire her.
Not only Baochai was worried about her marriage, but Xue Xun was also worried.Their family is an imperial merchant, and the girl must not marry an ordinary merchant.But on the other hand, imperial merchants are also merchants, and merchants, farmers, businessmen, and merchants rank last.
It's not easy to marry a noble family.Moreover, such nobles as the Jia family and the Wang family who are pure playboys are absolutely not allowed to get married.Xue Xun could see very clearly that these honorable families were already struggling to make ends meet and had a glamorous appearance, so he would not let his beloved girl fill in the hole for others.
He is more inclined to find a talented scholar, and they all say that only like-minded people can get along with each other. With Baochai's talent, if he finds an illiterate old man who doesn't have a common language, life will inevitably be a bit unsatisfactory.
But he was also afraid of finding a wolf-hearted person who knew people, face and face but didn't know his heart. He could be kind to Baochai when he was in his infancy, but he couldn't guarantee that he would not change his mind after he rose to prominence, or people would always say that he was a scholar who was heartbroken.
This is what people call raising a child to be a hundred years old and worrying about 99 years.It is a good father like Xue Xun who always considers his daughter carefully.In the case of the Jia family brothers, all they considered was the benefits and glory that this girl could bring to them and the family, but luckily happiness was not their consideration.Just like Jia Yuanchun who was sent to the palace and sold to Sun Shaozu for 5000 taels of silver...
Xue Xun and Jia Zheng were brothers-in-law, and when Baochai and the others went to Beijing, Aunt Xue urged them to go to Wang Ziteng's mansion to visit her brother and Jia's to visit her sister.
At the beginning, the old house was not cleaned up, and the three of them selectively forgot about it.Of course, I have been to the Wang family several times, and my uncle cannot be offended, but I have never been to the Jia family.
When the old house was repaired, Xue Xun sent greeting cards to Jia's family in advance, and then took the two brothers and sisters to Jia's house.
The Xue family was rich and powerful, so the gifts they brought were of course unusual. Baochai was unhappy when he saw it, and was about to go out, so he had to pester Xue Xun to replace all those priceless gifts.
Entering Jia's mansion, she walked through the side door with Xue Xun. After Xue Xun took Xue Pan to greet Mrs. Shi, she went down to the front yard accompanied by brothers Jia Zheng and Jia She.Wang Xifeng patted her chest and promised that she would definitely take good care of Baochai, so that uncle Xue Xun could rest assured.
In the original owner's memory, she and her cousin Wang Xifeng were not actually close, and Wang Xifeng liked Lin Daiyu more.But as soon as he entered Jia's house today, Wang Xifeng was so enthusiastic. It was understandable that Xue's family became one of the four major families as an imperial merchant, which was enough to show his family's financial strength.
What's more, in the past few years, who doesn't know that Xue Xun's business partners are two elder brothers?When Wang Xifeng went back to her natal home a few days ago, she heard her uncle Wang Ziteng talk about Xue Xun as his little uncle.He said that Brother Thirteen personally went to Tongzhou to pick him up when he came to the capital, and the inn he stayed in was arranged by Brother Jiu, and he didn't charge a tael of silver.
The house was repaired by craftsmen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the left and right were inseparable from the two elder brothers. The Xue family's old house was renovated beautifully.A few years ago, who would have thought that the Xue family, at the end of the crane of the four major families, could turn salty fish over?
Baochai has a deep understanding of what it means to be poor when no one cares about you in the busy city, and to be rich when you have distant relatives in the mountains. From Mrs. Shi to Mrs. Wang, it really takes so much enthusiasm and enthusiasm.
As soon as she entered Rongqing Hall and greeted Mrs. Shi, she took Baochai's hand and praised her from head to toe.Just as she was talking, Baoyu came in with a smile, and her eyes almost went straight when she saw Baochai, and what sister Bao called was affectionate.
Baochai reservedly called out to her cousin, and then there was no more, Baoyu leaned in front of her and asked, "Does my sister like reading at home?" Baochai glanced at him and said, "I have been studying with my master since I was a child, and I have memorized the Four Books and Five Classics. Finished, my elder brother has already passed the child birth test, I wonder if my cousin will have a scientific test?"
Baoyu's face drooped immediately: "My cousin's clean and innocent daughter's family, how did she learn those tricks of fishing for fame and becoming a national thief and ghost. It's really a failure of the world's bells and whistles... "
Baochai sneered: "I can't say that to my cousin. When you see your uncle later, you can just tell him that. Whether it's fame or fame, whether it's a country thief or a ghost, it's better than doing nothing and doing nothing all day long." Eat and wait to die."
After finishing speaking, he stopped talking to him, a dark light flashed in Mrs. Shi's eyes, this Xue family girl is really eloquent.In the past, Mrs. Wang always praised her for being gentle, gracious, and knowledgeable, and she was all a swindler. If such a fierce girl really let Baoyu marry her, she would not be bullied to death.
Mrs. Wang didn't expect Baochai to have a temper. She was looking forward to marrying Xue's family, but she loved Baoyu more.Baochai's temperament is obviously not suitable for Baoyu, and this is the first time they met, and they choked up. If they get married in the future, the two of them will have a quarrel that turns the world upside down?
Xue Xun didn't stay in the front yard too long, and politely declined Jia's gracious hospitality. Xue Pan came to pick up Baochai himself, and looked at Baochai with a stern face, looking unhappy.He held her hand and said goodbye to his cousin Wang Xifeng, didn't ask her why she was angry, just took her hand to tease her: "Sister, don't be unhappy, my brother will take you shopping today, I will buy whatever you fancy for you."
Only then did Baochai turn angry into joy: "Really? Brother, don't regret it when the time comes, I will spend all your private money."
Xue Xun didn't take the two children home, and asked the groom to go directly to Zuixianglou, the largest in the capital: "A few days ago, I heard that the dishes in Zuixianglou are good. Today I will take you to try them."
Entered the restaurant and found a private room.After the three sat down, Xue Xun asked Baochai: "Bao'er was unhappy all the way, what's the matter, who made Bao'er angry?"
Baochai rolled his eyes: "It's not that Jia Baoyu. He asked me what books I like to read at home. I told him that I have been studying with my brother and my master since I was a child.
As a result, he immediately changed his face. Cousin, you are a clean and innocent daughter, how did you learn those tricks of fishing for fame and becoming a national thief and ghost?What else is there to say that there is a virtue that is negative for the beauty of the clock and the spirit of the world...
I can fuck him, talking so much is just to cover up that I have accomplished nothing in my studies and dare not take the scientific examination.This is understandable, who doesn't know that the Jia family's baby egg catches rouge and gouache?Who doesn't know that Shi Shi from Jia's family has been a lecherous person who eats the rouge of the maid's lips since he was a child?
Father, this Jia family is really hard to describe. The eldest son of Xijue lives next to the stable, and the second son lives in Rongxi hall in a stately manner.Unhealthy family traditions, no distinction between seniors and young...it will be a disaster in the future.And Sister Feng, if you have a chance, you have to remind uncle, don't let my cousin count the money for her after being cheated by my aunt.
After my mother came to the capital, she had to have less contact with her aunt.Whenever I come to Jia's house, I have to follow her. Her pure nature cannot be cheated to death by her aunt. "
Xue Xun listened to her babbling fast, obviously he was pissed off by Jia Baoyu.I couldn't help but smiled and poured her a cup of tea: "Are you thirsty? Drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat. I don't believe you will go back."
Baochai hehe: "Of course I have to go back. In fact, I want to beat him up more. If it weren't for the fear that Mrs. Jia would get angry and come to our house anyway, I would have to hold Jia Baoyu and beat him up."
At this time Xiao Er brought up the dishes, and Xue Pan filled Baochai with a bowl of soup: "Sister, don't be angry, Brother Huihui will put him in a sack and beat him hard."
Baochai moved his wrist: "Brother, call me when the time comes, I don't call back personally, I don't understand the hatred in my heart. I heard that Jia Baoyu was born with jade, this Jia family is so bold, he is born with jade? "
Xue Xun sighed: "When Mrs. Jia was here, the Jia family was so beautiful. It's a pity... Don't be angry, Bao'er, and I will vent my anger on you later. But you are not allowed to mess around with your brother. If you are disobedient, before those two nuns come to Beijing, father will invite you two more."
Baochai couldn't care less about being angry anymore, so she put vegetables and soup for Xue Xun like a dog: "Father, eat vegetables, eat vegetables, Dad, after drinking the soup, don't worry, I will be good."

Baochai secretly tugged at Xue Pan: "Brother, whose carriage is so magnificent?" Xue Pan shook his head, "I don't know!" Come over and see Elder Brother Thirteen."
Baochai and Xue Pan glanced at each other, their father's face is quite big, the thirteenth elder brother came to pick him up in person?The two of them went up to greet Thirteenth Elder Brother respectfully, Thirteenth Elder Brother smiled brightly, pulled down the waist knife hanging from his waist and stuffed it to Xue Pan, and gave the jade pendant to Baochai.
