☆, 59Chapter 59 filling the room

After Tanchun left, the atmosphere in Jia's mansion was dull for a long time. From Jiamu to Baoyu and all the sisters, all the smiles on their faces were a little less.

Jia's mother loses energy every day. Except for three meals, she just leans on the couch and listens to the girls Qingwen and Huber.

Mrs. Xing was busy preparing the dowry for Yingchun, so apart from the routine greetings, she didn't come over often to have fun.

Baoyu and Jia Huan are busy preparing for this autumn's exam. They either go outside to ask their teachers for advice, or they close their rooms to make a fuss.

Xichun was originally a quiet person, but watching the marriage of her two sisters, she became even more disheartened, and lost interest in painting, so she read scriptures and learned Buddhism in her free time. I don't want to say a word.

Xiangyun was taken back to the historian's house to prepare for marriage. Xing Xiuyan will marry next year, and she will also do needlework in the hut, and it will be late spring. Daiyu will inevitably feel sad for spring and autumn. After writing a few poems, her old illness relapses and falls ill again. .

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng said to Wang Zixuan: "The third younger sister left, and the whole family seemed to lose their vitality. After a few days, the second younger sister left again, and it became even more deserted."

Wang Zixuan sighed and said: "No, Baoyu came back to see this scene at dinner last night. She was sad for a long time, and tears were about to come out. If she wasn't afraid of making the old lady sad, she might have burst into tears." Baoyu's disposition of being fond of getting together and not being happy to leave has not changed after all. Although outwardly she looks more mature and stable than before, she still has the same temperament on the inside, "Let him and Huan'er go to Jinling as soon as possible. We left after the second girl."

Wang Xifeng said: "It's not good to go on like this, everyone is sick, and the family must be more happy."

Wang Zixuan said: "This happy event does not mean that it will happen. Seeing Baoyu's birthday before, the ancestors are not in the mood to be called an opera troupe. It's hard to say, but it seems..." He couldn't help sighing. "Just wait for Qiu Baoyu and Huan'er to have good news, and I will be satisfied if I can get one."

Wang Xifeng smiled lightly, "That's right, everyone can be like Brother Lan."

That is to say, when Jialan was mentioned, everyone felt more at ease.

While talking, Jiang's family came, and Wang Zixuan called to come in.

"Ma'am, grandma, please come and sit down tomorrow."

It was Yuan Chun's housewife, so Wang Zixuan asked with a smile, "What's the happy event in your house?" Jiang Zining had just been promoted to Minister of Rites. Everyone said that the emperor wanted to leave a good position for Jiang Zhengqian.

The daughter-in-law said: "My wife said that the flowers in your house are blooming well. Please ask my wife to go and enjoy the flowers."

Wang Zixuan was about to push back, but the daughter-in-law said again: "I also invited my aunt and cousin."

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng smiled and said to Wang Zixuan: "Last time you mentioned Miss Bao's marriage to my aunt, I'm afraid there is news."

Wang Zixuan also laughed, "It's hard for their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be so caring," she said to the daughter-in-law, "Okay, let's go tomorrow."

The daughter-in-law agreed and said goodbye.

In the evening, Wang Zixuan told Jia's mother, and Jia's mother smiled and said: "Bao girl is long past the age of marriage. This marriage should be done quickly. They are orphans and widows. The older sister should help."

Wang Zixuan agreed, and went to Jiang's mansion the next day.

The Jiang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were still so happy, and they were not disappointed because Jiang Zining did not join the cabinet.

While walking in, Wang Zixuan asked, "Where is brother one?"

Yuan Chun said: "I went to school early in the morning, I'm afraid I won't be back until late at night."

Wang Zixuan disappointed: "So I won't see you again."

Mrs. Jiang was a little disappointed when she saw that she couldn't see her grandson, so she pulled her and laughed: "His mother is pushing him hard, so we don't have to worry about it, don't delay the child, it happens that the first brother is really naughty, don't let him He reads, runs around all day long, and can't live in peace for a moment."

Wang Zixuan thought for a while, didn't she force Jia Lan and Baoyu to study in the same way when they were young, and she smiled relievedly.

Mrs. Jiang said to Yuan Chun, "Go and do your work, and call mother."

Yuan Chun agreed, and went outside to pick up other wives.

Wang Zixuan asked: "The marriage of your niece has really troubled you. I don't know which family you are talking about today?"

Mrs. Jiang said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, Miss Xue's marriage is really difficult to talk about. I don't know why it has been delayed until now?"

Wang Zixuan sighed and said: "They started talking when they first came to the capital, but they have never found a suitable home. In the past two years, we have a lot of family affairs, and we are filial piety, so we put the child's marriage on hold. It will be a worry if it stays, but now the younger sister is in a hurry, and her family background is second, as long as she is good." A few years ago, Aunt Xue relied on her daughter's talent and appearance, picking things up and down, but now she sees Yingchun and Tanchun both had homes, so they became anxious.

"I don't have to talk about this product, I'm just a little older." Mrs. Jiang introduced the family she was going to talk about to Wang Zixuan.

This is Zhang Zongming, Jiang Zhengqian's classmate, the county magistrate of Longmen, Sichuan, Fangzheng, Jiang Zining loves him very much, and this year happened to be promoted to the head of the Ministry of Rites.There was only one mother in the family, and her first wife died five years ago, leaving no children. Master Jiang saw him alone, and wanted to talk to him about a daughter-in-law. When Yuan Chun mentioned Xue Baochai, Mrs. Jiang thought it was appropriate.

Wang Zixuan was a little hesitant. With Baochai's talent and appearance, neither Aunt Xue nor Xue Pan would be willing to be the original partner, let alone a sequel to a principal.But now there is really no suitable home, and Baochai's marriage can't wait, so everyone naturally has to lower their standards. I don't know if Aunt Xue will like it.

"I invited his mother here today, and asked my aunt to have a look. It's the best if it can be done, and if it can't be done, it can't be forced." Mrs. Jiang saw Wang Zixuan's hesitation, and said.

Wang Zixuan smiled, "Exactly, it's up to their mother and daughter to decide."

Before the words were finished, Aunt Xue came in with Baochai. Today Baochai is still simple and simple, but she only has a set of white jade hair and face, but it is elegant and noble, which makes her skin more like snow, and her eyebrows are picturesque.

She saluted Wang Zixuan and Mrs. Jiang. It was also the first time for Mrs. Jiang to see her. She boasted with a smile, "I often hear Zhengqian's daughter-in-law say that this child is really beautiful."

Baochai thanked her, and she was just exchanging greetings when she saw Yuan Chun leading a plump, plainly dressed middle-aged woman in. Mrs. Jiang hurriedly introduced, "This is Chief Zhang's mother."

The disappointment in Aunt Xue's eyes flashed away, and she hurriedly got up to say hello, and everyone sat down to greet each other for a while, only to find that Mrs. Zhang was knowledgeable and polite, and she spoke slowly but impeccably.

Wang Zixuan watched from the side, secretly satisfied in her heart, such a family must have a good family style, and Baochai would not have too many bad things when she married.

Aunt Xue and Baochai also pondered in their hearts, carefully pondering every word of Mrs. Zhang, and hearing her mention of her son's widowhood, Baochai's eyes dimmed at first, but then she saw that Mrs. Zhang spoke and acted very decently, and her heart was moved again. , I really can't wait any longer, this company sounds pretty decent, even though it is the main job right now, there will be plenty of opportunities for promotion in the future.

Aunt Xue was dissatisfied, and her attitude became a little cold.

Mrs. Jiang led the crowd to stroll in the garden again. Wang Zixuan, Mrs. Jiang, Yuan Chun, and Aunt Xue walked in front. Mrs. Zhang deliberately lagged behind and talked with Baochai. , very satisfied in my heart, my son is dedicated to business, and the backyard needs such care.Seeing that Baochai's family background is rich and noble, although he is a merchant family, he is related to such aristocratic families as Jia, Jiang, and Wang. When the time comes, his son will have a backing, and his official career will be smoother.

Here, Mrs. Zhang is satisfied, but Baochai is a little nervous. She has agreed to the marriage in her heart, and now she will have a conversation with her future mother-in-law. I offended my mother-in-law.

This made Mrs. Zhang even more delighted, as if she had found a treasure, she immediately pulled out a little emerald gold hairpin from her hair and gave it to Baochai, who gave it away once and then accepted it.

Aunt Xue didn't like Zhang's family background at first, but she saw her daughter accept the hairpin with a smile, opened her mouth, and heard Wang Zixuan say in her ear: "This family is good, just listen to Miss Bao."

Aunt Xue had no choice but to keep quiet for a while, and she brought her home before she said to Baochai, "Young girl Bao was too impatient, I didn't see what Mrs. Zhang was wearing. The housekeeper and daughter-in-law of our family are all more decent than that, although not as good as Lin. Girl, but you can't just marry at such a low price, and still go to fill in the house."

Baochai sighed, "It's nineteen years old, and I can only fill in the house. Mrs. Zhang is pretty good, and she won't suffer any grievances when she marries, and it may not be easy to get Mr. Jiang's favor. Don't worry, mom." Forget it, you won’t feel wronged yourself.”

Seeing that her daughter said so, Aunt Xue had no choice but to nod, and when she told Xue Pan, Xue Pan also refused, but seeing that her sister agreed, she had to agree, saying: "Don't worry, sister, we have nothing else in our family. A few silver coins There are still some, and your dowry will definitely not be thin, and these shops in Beijing will give it to you."

Feng Shiye, although he was unhappy to hear Xue Pan say this, he smiled and said: "Yes, these shops in Beijing have been doing well in recent years, and I gave them to my sister. With these dowries, my mother-in-law's I can stand still."

Aunt Xue smiled with satisfaction at the eldest son and said: "It's hard for you two to think about your sister, but the Zhang family is not rich. If your dowry is too rich, it would be bad for you to show off too much. See Mrs. Zhang is a If it’s simple, it’s better to cut it down a bit. Don’t move the shops in the capital, and the few dowry houses are enough for a precious girl to eat for a lifetime.”

The Xue family has already discussed the dowry here, and the Zhang family over there is also in a hurry. Mrs. Zhang told Zhang Zongming that Zhang Zongming originally disliked Xue's business background, but when he heard that Baochai was virtuous and generous, he knew books and rituals, and even his mother They all liked it so much, so they agreed.

Zhang and Xue's two families were willing, and quickly settled down on their marriage, and each of them prepared to marry without mentioning it.

Let's say that it will be May in the blink of an eye, and the Niu's family took Yingchun over, and the marriage was considered quite lively. Niu Laoqi was satisfied with Yingchun's gentle behavior.

When they returned home, they saw that the young couple were still in love, so Jia's mother, Xing's husband, and Wang Zixuan asked Yingchun privately, "How is the in-law's family?"

Yingchun only said: "The mother-in-law is very good, the sisters-in-law are all kind, and he is also very protective. The few in his room are also honest and responsible."

Everyone noticed that the circles of her eyes were reddish, and their hearts were clear, so they couldn't help but secretly sighed. Mother Jia patted her granddaughter's arm and said: "I want to scoop out the young lady's money, don't ask to calculate, but I must not let myself suffer. If you have any grievances, tell your grandmother, and your grandmother will be able to help out with ideas."

Yingchun nodded, and was about to ask about the situation at home, but heard back: "My aunt brought Miss Bao here."

Aunt Xue, mother and daughter greeted Jia Mu, and Jia Mu, Xing Fu and others congratulated Baochai for having a family.

Jia Mu said: "I heard that Sister Lin is not in good health. I just want to go and have a look. Why don't I go with Sister Xue."

Jia Mu waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, she has been better these few days, but she didn't call here because of the cold weather."

When they agreed, they talked and came to Daiyu's room.
