[Red Mansion] The third master of jade-like stone treasures

"Third Sister, everyone I like is here!"

The rice paper with the men's information written in detail covered the long table in the warming room. Bao Cong also introduced them one by one in a serious manner: "This scholar is good at school, he should get along well with you, and he will have a chance to pass the imperial examination in the future. It's just my wife at home. There are many sisters-in-law, so I don’t know if it’s easy to get along with each other. But it’s okay, if it’s not easy to get along with sisters-in-law, you will live your own life.”

He picked up another one: "This man has a good temper. His family uses martial arts to pass on his family, and most of his children are in the army. But you don't have to worry, he is also studying. Although his literary talent is far from yours, it is still good. The biggest advantage is that The family relationship is simple, I heard that his mother is very easy to get along with..."

Lin Daiyu listened, dumbfounded.

Tanchun, however, was ashamed and annoyed, turned sideways angrily, moved closer to Lin Daiyu, pulled her sleeves, and whispered coquettishly: "Third sister-in-law, look at this! Tell me about him! How can this happen!"

Since ancient times, marriages have always been ordered by the parents and the words of the matchmaker. How can there be a girl who brazenly picks and chooses?Don't talk about choosing, just listening to it will make you blush!

Although Tanchun had ideas, she was severely disciplined by Mother Jia since she was a child, and she had to watch Mrs. Wang's complexion. In addition, Aunt Zhao was always out of tune, so she was extremely cautious in her words and deeds, and her heart was high. How could she stand up to Bao Cong's battle? ?

But Lin Daiyu smiled, shook her head slowly, and persuaded in a low voice: "What are you afraid of? Anyway, Baocong is in charge now, and the world knows everything here, and the three of us know it."

If in the past, Bao Cong mentioned another stinky man in front of her and her sisters, she would definitely give a shit.But today is different, it is to worry about Tanchun's life, so it is natural to be more concerned.

Back then when she was thinking about her marriage, she was afraid that no one would make the decision for her, and she was also afraid that someone would make the decision for her but the person she chose was not what she wanted. She didn't know how much she had suffered in secret.

Now that Tanchun has the opportunity to choose his own candidate, why can't he take a look at it?

Tanchun hesitated: "This, but this..."

She was a little moved, after all, it was a lifelong event.But she has always been proud and used to it, so she was in a dilemma for a while.

Lin Daiyu continued her efforts, and persuaded with a smile: "Go quickly, take a closer look, there is Bao Cong carrying it anyway!" As she said, her eyes turned to look at Bao Cong, with a sly look.

Bao Cong almost burst out laughing in his heart, and shook his head.

If painting at this time, he would like to add a pair of fox ears to Lin Daiyu, and here comes a fox tail!

However, he still had a serious look on his face, cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "Sister San, I am really embarrassed about this matter, and I don't have an idea. Please take a closer look and give me some advice."

Both Bao Cong and Lin Daiyu were instigated by this, and Tan Chun became a little more curious, so she blushed and stammered, "Then, then I'll do what I can..." Look... ..

Just as she was moving her lotus steps towards the long table, she heard a rustling sound, Tanchun hurriedly withdrew her steps, turned her head to look at the door, and saw Xichun peeking through the crack.

Suddenly, a hole was pierced in Tanchun's proud heart, his mouth was flattened, his eyes were red, and he cried at Lin Daiyu with great aggrievedness: "Sister-in-law three! Look at her!"

Lin Daiyu panicked, went up in two or three steps, slammed the door shut, and blushed, extremely embarrassed: "This, this fourth sister is really..."

Xichun groaned outside the door, and then complained in a low voice: "I'm just curious to see, the wind is so strong today, how can I hear what they are saying clearly!"

It's a pity that outside the door, the sky is clear and the sky is clear. Where is the wind?

Apparently it's also a cover up...

Baocong, Lin Daiyu and the aggrieved Tanchun stared at each other, speechless for a moment.

Just outside the door, the voices of Zijuan and Qingwen came again.

"Alright little ancestor, let's go!"

"Fourth Miss, don't be curious. I'm afraid I won't have your share?"

Xichun was also ashamed and annoyed, "Who, who wants this, this member!"

The voice became farther and farther away, and it was obvious that the three people had gone far away.

In the warming room, Bao Cong coughed awkwardly, smiled sarcastically, and forcibly backed up Lin Daiyu's previous vow: "Well...it's not in the way, it's all from my family, and outsiders won't know."

Tanchun is still wronged, but, anyway, it's like this, don't you see it for nothing?

So, after some twists and turns, Tanchun finally took a look around, but the more he looked, the more he remembered the man he saw at the gate that day.

Judging by his age, he should be married.

If her future husband is also so tall and handsome, how great would it be?

After seeing a few candidates, Bao Cong invited people to visit him every day, just to learn from each other in civil and martial arts.It just so happens that the family of Jia's family is lonely, so you can also try the character and demeanor of these people.

When Mrs. Wang came, Wu Huizheng sent away two young talents.

She looked at it strangely, so she asked a lot: "Who are these people?"

Wu Hui didn't dare to say that it had something to do with Tanchun, so she responded according to Baocong's intention: "It's a friend of the third master, who came to visit and express condolences."

When Jia's mother passed away, although Bao Cong didn't have to guard Ding You, he still had to wear mourning, so he took a long leave for a year.

At this time, Wu Hui said that a friend came to visit, and Mrs. Wang lost her doubts and went to search for treasures alone.

"This is the letter I received today." Mrs. Wang handed the letter to Bao Cong, her face was very bad, "Aunt Zhou said that Aunt Zhao stole money and ran away secretly. Now your father is getting sicker and has to hurry , I'm afraid...what do you say?"

Bao Cong quickly scanned the contents of the letter, sighed, and his face turned ugly.

If something happened to Jia Zheng, he would really resign and go back to Jinling Dingyou!

Baoyu's scholar hasn't come back yet!

After much deliberation, there is no way.Jia Zheng made a mistake and was exiled by the emperor. Could he still resist the order?

Sighing deeply again, Bao Cong shook his head: "Mother, don't worry, I'll clean up, and then I'll set off to see my father off."

Mrs. Wang was surprised and said: "Are you going to see him off? Could it be possible to send him all the way to the place of exile? Then when will he be able to come back!"

Once Bao Cong left, there would be no man in the family who could resist!How can a family not even have the backbone!

Mrs. Wang was flustered, and hurriedly grabbed Bao Cong and shook her head: "No, no, you can't leave Beijing!"

Bao Cong doesn't want to leave Beijing either!He was originally busy with Tanchun's marriage, but how could he be as anxious as saving Jia Zheng's life?

In the past few days, he has seen several young talents, and he has already decided on the candidate. He only needs to discuss with Lin Daiyu later, and then ask Baochai to be a consultant to persuade Mrs. Wang to help. The marriage contract at home should be fine.

Jia Zheng was only supported by Aunt Zhou, so accidents were more likely.

Bao Cong was about to persuade Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said quickly: "I remembered, the old ancestor and Concubine Nan'an were very close in the past. At that time, Concubine Nan'an wanted to recognize a god-granddaughter. Princess, married to Xinjiang to be Mrs. Hou."

"The concubine actually took a fancy to Tanchun, but we didn't continue to mention it because we had a lot of family affairs. Isn't the candidate still undecided? Why don't I ask the news tomorrow, if Tanchun can marry the princess to Xinjiang , if you use this achievement to seal the memorial and plead for mercy, maybe the Holy Majesty can forgive your father?"

The more Bao Cong heard it, the more angry she became, and she yelled at Mrs. Wang: "How can you use the third sister's lifelong affairs to calculate? If I say I will go, I will go! Mother, don't think about such a stupid idea!"

Mrs. Wang was dumbfounded by the yelling, and then she reacted immediately, and shouted at Baocong angrily: "Why not? As a woman, Tanchun should consider her father! Her aunt caused the trouble, shouldn't she take care of herself?" tidy?"

Bao Cong paced up and down irritably, feeling that he was going to be mad at Mrs. Wang, "Mother, what are you thinking? Aunt Zhao is Aunt Zhao, and the third sister is the third sister! Besides, I am my father's son, and I will take care of him personally." What's wrong with him? Shouldn't I be filial to my father? "

Mrs. Wang snorted coldly, and said sharply: "Nowadays, the family is full of orphans and widows. What will you do at home after you leave Beijing? Who will decide if there is any important matter? Your eldest sister is in the palace and she doesn't know what to do now. Her If there is something going on, who else can help her besides you?"

In Mrs. Wang's heart, besides Baoyu, Yuanchun ranks second.If there is another mistake in Yuan Chun's place, she can really spit out a mouthful of blood.

Panting, Mrs. Wang said coldly, "Anyway, you can't leave Beijing!"

Bao Cong was so mad that he wanted to scratch his hair!

After being anxious for a while, he persuaded Mrs. Wang again: "I will go to send my father off in person, and the officials will definitely give me face. Just go slowly, and I will hurry back when I get to the place, but it will only be three to five months."

Mrs. Wang refused to enter, and snorted again, "Don't say three to five months, even ten days and a half months. Wouldn't it be good to be named princess in Tanchun? She is a concubine who can be the wife of the house. Isn't it good to be the Marquis again? Now that the family is down and out, apart from this marriage, how can she have a better chance to marry?"

Bao Cong sighed, then shook his head again: "That's not what it means! It's not easy to make a marriage after traveling thousands of miles away? Besides, marriage is bestowed by the imperial decree, and life will be difficult in the future. You can't even get married..."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Wang picked up the topic and said, "Why is life so bad? That so-and-so in Xinjiang, I remember you didn't come to give gifts when you got married? At that time, you didn't hang shoulders with that kid, and you were so affectionate with your brother. Same, is it good to praise him everywhere?"

"Since you said that that person is good everywhere, how can Tanchun have a bad life? She is the princess and Madam Hou, she can't live well, and it can only be her own fate!"

After some words, Bao Cong blocked a bunch of rebuttals in his mouth. After a while, he could only open his mouth and add sullenly: "That man has a name, and his name is Aman."

Mrs. Wang snorted coldly again, with a wooden face, waiting for Bao Cong to nod her head in agreement.

Bao Cong thought and thought, but still didn't like it, so he could only stick his neck and protest, "No, I already have plans for Tanchun's marriage, and my father has to find another way."

"You! Hello!"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she suddenly exploded with anger, she stood up suddenly, put on the face of her elders, and was about to teach her a lesson loudly, when Tanchun and Lin Daiyu came out from behind the screen.

Tanchun's eyes were red and he looked stubborn, while Lin Daiyu was very worried, obviously they had heard Mrs. Wang's words.

Tanchun said: "Brother Baocong, don't be embarrassed, I will go."

Bao Cong said anxiously: "I'm not in trouble, there are always other solutions from my father, why don't you think carefully about your own life-long affairs? Isn't everyone going to settle down these days? Why are you changing your marriage? "

Lin Daiyu glanced at Mrs. Wang, and only signaled Zijuan to bring hot tea and desserts, and personally served Mrs. Wang to drink tea and snacks, trying to calm her down.

Without Baochai, Mrs. Wang was much harder to serve. Even though Lin Daiyu served tea and poured water herself, Mrs. Wang was still very angry.

But Tanchun seemed to have made up his mind, "Brother Baocong, you don't need to persuade me. In fact, I haven't taken a fancy to... anything these days. Just like what my mother said, I can be named princess. It's Mrs. Hou again, she can enjoy all the glory and wealth, even the Zhou family's marriage contract can be rejected logically, if you miss this one, there is nothing better."

Besides, it was Aunt Zhao who made the mistake again.

Tanchun is easy to talk about other things, but as long as Aunt Zhao is involved, his mind will become stubborn, and he will not be able to pull back ten thousand cows.

Bao Cong also tried to persuade: "Third sister, have you really thought it through? Just think about yourself, and you really don't need to care about others. You will suffer if you marry thousands of miles away. Now this winter, Xinjiang is freezing, and there is ice. How many feet thick, how can you bear it?"

Tanchun smiled back, and said in a nasal voice: "Then third brother prepare a few more big heaters for me as a dowry, and I also need a big cart of big woolen clothes, all of which should be the thickest."

As soon as these words came out, Bao Cong was speechless.

Just a layer of depression in my heart.
