Jia Huan's career in the Red Chamber

Remembering that Xue Baochai hadn't been around to serve these few days, Jia's mother suddenly felt that there was a conspiracy, and it was definitely the Xue family's conspiracy.The old lady squinted her eyes.Looking at Mrs. Wang: "Second wife, what do you do when you talk about this?"

Mrs. Wang didn't expect the old lady to be the first to ask her, so she felt guilty for a while: "Old lady, it's not the daughter-in-law who said it, it's just a rumor outside. What kind of family are we, how can we borrow money and not repay it. If you want to say, Our villa is built more grandly than others, maybe someone is jealous and framed our family."

"That's right, old lady, someone must be jealous of our mother's glory, that's why we arranged our family." Wang Xifeng interjected.Wang Xifeng didn't have the kindness to excuse Mrs. Wang, but felt that the rumors really had a bad effect.

"According to you, the rumors outside are all false?" The old lady didn't believe Mrs. Gong's words at all.It's true that you owe money, and it's true that you don't pay back the money. It can't be hidden from the eyes of the aristocratic family in the capital, and anyone with a heart can see it.

"Old lady, I don't know if my daughter-in-law should say something or not?" Mrs. Xing asked cautiously.

This eldest daughter-in-law usually looks petty, but she is not troublesome, much better than Wang's.Thinking about it this way, looking at Mrs. Xing is no longer so annoying: "Tell me about it."

Seeing the old lady's amiable face, Mrs. Wang felt a little offended, and gave Mrs. Xing a hard look.

Mrs. Xing ignored Mrs. Wang's eyes and said calmly: "Old lady, when it comes to borrowing money, I guess it was the second wife who borrowed money from Xue's family, right?"

These words made Mrs. Wang fall to the bottom in an instant.Sometimes it's one thing to say it, and another to hide it.Saying it out means putting it on the bright side. Fortunately, the people in the main hall are all confidantes and relatives, otherwise...

The old lady looked at Mrs. Xing's eyes and said, "You are right, there is indeed such a thing."

"Then, old lady, maybe it was the Xue family who started the rumor?" Mrs. Xing insisted, "If I pay back the money, maybe..."

"What are you talking about? Mrs. Xue's family is my own sister, how could she do such a thing?" Mrs. Wang questioned Mrs. Xing with a sharp voice, her eyes wished to cut Mrs. Xing into pieces.

"Okay!" Mother Jia said, slapping the table heavily: "Mrs. Wang, what the eldest lady said is correct. The Xue family is relatives of your Wang family, not our Jia family."

"Old lady, don't listen to the old lady's nonsense. One more thing, borrowing money from Xue's family is not for Yuanchun. It is the glory of our family, old lady, don't lose your friendship just because of a momentary rumor." Mrs. Wang was incoherent in a hurry.

"Humph" the old lady snorted heavily, and looked at Mrs. Wang: "Then tell me, what should we do about this rumor? When did such a joke happen in our family? Now you, Mrs. Wang, dare to leave the house?"

"Old lady, the rumors outside are pure speculation. Another one, I don't know about my sister. How can she do such a vicious thing when she wants to marry our family?" Mrs. Wang was reprimanded by Mrs. Jia I have already thought about it, no matter how rumors spread outside, it will not affect the family, so why not take advantage of this situation and settle the marriage: "Old lady, you can't believe all the rumors. What's more, those who clean themselves will clean up themselves. Why bother to tear yourself apart with the Xue family for this matter?" .”

Although she hated Mrs. Wang, her words were not unreasonable, and the old lady hesitated for a while.

Mrs. Wang saw that the old lady was a little shaken, and she continued to insist: "My lady's villa is still under construction. If so, I'm afraid. Old lady, you have to put the overall situation first."

The words were not explained, but the old lady was very clear. Thinking of the government's finances, the old lady's heart tightened, but her face remained calm: "Then according to what you said, what should I do?"

"The daughter-in-law discussed with the empress earlier, the Xue family girl is a good one, why not..." Mrs. Wang observed the old lady's face, and said with a sad face: "Baochai is good except for his family background. If you want to come to the old lady You also have a deep understanding. How can a daughter-in-law not love Baoyu, but if the empress is in the palace, if she has no money, she will be afraid."

Needless to say the next thing, everyone knows it well.Why doesn't the old lady know what the second wife is thinking, but this is the truth.However, Xinzhi was unwilling after all: "You are Baoyu's mother, no matter how much my wife objects, she won't do. I hope that Baoyu will not blame you in the future." Mrs. Jia knew in her heart that this rumor, no matter who it was The rumors are not good for the Jia family.One more thing, the money in the mansion is really not enough, and Xue's family just filled the vacancy.Thinking about it this way, I can only secretly acquiesce in a golden and jade marriage.

How could Baoyu blame me as a mother? Baochai is a good girl. This marriage is so wonderful.Mrs. Wang disapproved of the old lady's words in her heart, but said happily on the face: "Old lady, when the time comes, you can wait to hold your great-grandson."

The matter was finalized tacitly, and Dafang's two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were a little overwhelmed.

Wang Xifeng looked at Mrs. Wang, and couldn't help but roll her eyes indecently. This aunt always talks about money.Miss Xue's mouth is full of money, she is not a family, and if she does not enter a family, these two people are really dead.

Wang Xifeng was disdainful, and Mrs. Xing was envious and jealous.Mrs. Xing has many dreams.But there are only three things that are most important: [-]: give birth to a son, [-]: gain Jia She's respect and love, and [-]: beat Mrs. Wang.Of these three dreams, the first two have disappeared in time.Only the third one is still possible. However, seeing Mrs. Wang married a rich daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xing felt that her belief in life had collapsed.

People must have faith in order to have a reason to live.Mrs. Xing's belief is to save money, have money, and get rich.This time, Mrs. Xing was completely shocked.So she collapsed and lay on the hospital bed.

Mrs. Wang was in a good mood at the moment, and didn't care about Mrs. Xing's bad luck. She twisted her waist happily and went to Lixiangyuan.I was still thinking about the dowry that Xue Baochai would bring when she married into the mansion.

The Xue family's marriage is all tacit.What about Shi Xiangyun?

Zhongjinghou Mansion, historian.

"Do you know the news outside?" Shi Ding asked.

Mrs. Shi Ding frowned, and said cautiously: "But it belongs to the Jia family?"

Shi Ding nodded: "You will know if you don't go out, let alone others."

"This... the Jia family is really in a situation where they need to borrow money? I don't look like a concubine. The last time Yun girl came back, she said how good and rich the Jia family is." Mrs. Shi Ding obviously didn't believe the Jia family. will be so downcast.

"How is it impossible?" Shi Ding took a sip of tea, but he remembered the shortfall when Jia's family picked him up.This historian, in order to repay the deficit in the early years, the whole family lived frugally. After all these years, the historian has recovered a little bit: "The Jia family also had a deficit in the early years, but the Duke did not mention it when he was alive. Thinking about it, The deficit is still there. One more thing, it’s not surprising that the Jia family is so extravagant.”

"Master, do you think the Jia family has really reached this point? Are the rumors true or not? Another one, this is the Xue family." Mrs. Shi Ding was a little uncertain. After all, the Jia family had a concubine, so it wasn't just money. ?

Shi Ding said indifferently: "It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. Mrs. Jia was ashamed of my father before, and the relationship between the two families has long since faded over the years. Don't worry. As for the Xue family..." Talking about the Xue family , Shi Ding pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "At the beginning, the Xue family was the last of the four major families. But don't underestimate the Xue family, the Xue family is an imperial merchant, after all these years, they have a lot of money. It would not be surprising if the Jia family wanted to borrow money from the Xue family."

"What the master said makes sense." Long before marrying into the Shi family, Mrs. Shi Ding had a good understanding of Jinling's family, and she knew a little bit: "However, the Xue family has reached this generation, master?" Mrs. Shi Ding heard about it. There are too many things about the prodigal son of the Xue family, and Xue Fu is very disapproving.

"Madam is right. However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the Xue family still has some wealth." Shi Ding answered his wife's questions.

Mrs. Shi Ding suddenly thought of another rumor: "Master, tell me, this Mrs. Jia wants to marry the Xue family, right? Then what can we Xiangyun do?"

"I expected it a long time ago. As a niece, I always think that our historians have treated her badly. Forget it, you can go and bring her back tomorrow morning. This Jia family may not be able to stay any longer." Shi Ding thought of Shi Xiangyun and felt a little headache.

"What's the matter? Master, what happened?" Mrs. Shi Ding asked hastily.

"First of all, Mrs. Jia told me about this." Shi Ding continued with a look of rejoicing: "I thought at the time that my brother only had such a daughter left. If the marriage is good, I will feel relieved. No Thinking about it, this Jia family secretly intends to marry the Xue family. Hehe, what kind of family is the Xue family? They are just merchants, and the Jia family is getting worse and worse."

Mrs. Shi Ding also often heard the rumors about the Jia family. Thinking of her niece, she said with some displeasure: "I originally wanted Xiangyun to learn more, but unexpectedly, her mouth has become abused. Now Xiangyun also When you grow up, come back directly and teach me well.”

Thinking of his niece, Shi Ding frowned: "Now, even if the Jia family wants to marry our family, I don't agree to it. I'm going to find a marriage for Xiangyun. In this way, we have done our best."

"Well, master, don't worry, I will bring Xiangyun back tomorrow. Another one, I'll inquire and see if there is any suitable family." After receiving Shi Ding's reply, Mrs. Shi Ding felt much more relaxed. .God knows, how much she wanted to marry off this niece who couldn't teach well. If the master hadn't helped this girl find a good husband, she wouldn't have to be trembling. If the raw handkerchief was broken, she would lose her reputation as a historian.

The historian wants to pick up someone, but the Jia family has no reason not to let him go.Although Shi Xiangyun was very reluctant to part with her, Jia's mother felt guilty.Then he also said: Now that Xiangyun is getting older, it's time to learn how to be a housekeeper.In this way, Shi Xiangyun could only look at the gate of Jia's mansion with nostalgia, and followed Mrs. Shi back to the mansion.

As soon as Shi Xiangyun returned to the mansion, Mrs. Shi began to attend parties frequently, wishing to find a suitable candidate immediately and marry Shi Xiangyun.

As for Aunt Xue, she was overjoyed to receive the news from Mrs. Wang. The matter was really settled, but the Xue family had no reason to live in Jia's house anymore.What's more, Xue Pan wants to marry a wife.

In fact, the Xue family's house in the capital has been repaired a long time ago.Aunt Xue only wanted to stay for a longer period of time because she was afraid that Mrs. Wang would renege on her debts.Now, the matter was finally finalized, and the Xue family quickly moved out of Jia's residence.

Xue Jia wants to get married, the rumors are self-defeating.

However, the rumors on Jia Huan's side are endless.

The third son of the Jia family, Tanhualang is addicted to the boudoir.For everyone, this news is just a topic of conversation after dinner.

But for one person, it was a bolt from the blue.When Zhang Hengting heard the rumors, he didn't believe it at first.Then he asked Xia'er to investigate secretly, and finally found out the news, the rumor came from the second wife of Jia's mansion.

Although Jia Huan was not as unbearable as the rumors said, he did have a Tongfang.Looking at the report on the table, Zhang Hengting hesitated.

To question?Zhang Hengting shook his head, denying this idea.Thinking of this, Zhang Hengting decided to talk to Jia Huan about what the situation was like.
