The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

But it is said that Jia Huan had a sudden whim, and brought Qin Zhong and Xue Baoqin together, and then found a free day to discuss with Liu Aiyun.Liu Aiyun had a close relationship with Qin Keqing, and it was her younger brother who immediately agreed.Jia Huan went to signal Aunt Xue again, but she was unwilling.Because Xue Baochai's son-in-law, Jiang Zirong, was originally the son of Pingyuanhou's mansion, and Qin Zhong's father was just a small clerk in the Ministry of Industry, she was afraid that others would gossip and favor relatives and daughters over nieces.Coincidentally, someone came to the door these two days and hinted that a nephew of the Liguo Mansion, the son of Gao Hanlin, was choosing a wife.Aunt Xue thought to herself, the family who went to Mei Hanlin's family may have another one from Hanlin's family, wouldn't that slap the Mei family in the face?I was a little tempted.

Jia Huan went to Liu Aiyun's place to inquire about Xue's family's intentions. He laughed and said, "Isn't Gao Hanlin's son the one who gave Cong'er a pair of big eyes in the Hanlin Academy?" The joke between Jia Cong and Gao Hanlin's son when he went to the Hanlin Academy to complete the book.After hearing this, Liu Aiyun disliked this person even more.Because Xue Pan went to Ping'an Prefecture to check the Haihuo Street, he wrote a letter to ask Xue Pan to come back soon, and on the other hand, he made a joke about the matter to Jiang Zirong through his business contacts.

Jiang Zirong understood what he meant, and went to deliver snacks to Aunt Xue that day.In the past, he and Xue Baochai had met many times, but Aunt Xue was more courteous. Since the marriage was arranged, the two of them were not allowed to meet again, but she might have Baochai's shadow behind the screen.Jiang Zirong saw Yinger's head shaking from the side of the screen at a glance, and knew that Baochai was coming, and pretended to ask about Baoqin's marriage.Aunt Xue took the opportunity to tell the Gao family.

Jiang Zirong laughed loudly: "Could it be the white-eyed young gentleman?"

Aunt Xue hurriedly asked: "What white-eyed young gentleman?"

Jiang Zirong said: "The young master of the Gao family made a joke in the early years. We laughed for many years, but it's long gone, and the family has changed, so there is no need to mention it. It's just that the mother-in-law has to investigate this person's temperament carefully." Then we changed the subject.

How could Aunt Xue let go of his nonsensical words?Busy and serious, he said: "Zirong, Baoqin is your wife and sister, and her life cannot be vague. Tell me what you know."

Jiang Zirong said: "I don't know if it's worth mentioning or not." Then he repeated what Jia Huan said about the Hanlin Academy, and said, "He was too proud at that time, and many people didn't like him. , and gave him the nickname "Baiyan Xiaolangjun". It's just that the three young masters of Jia's family were all wearing ordinary clothes that day, and others thought they were from poor families; after many years, they found out that they belonged to the Rongguo Mansion. Looking back at this It's a bit funny to throw his big white eyes. Not to mention how rich their family is compared to Rongguo Mansion, how can Gao Hanlin compare with She Gong. How wise it is to take them away from the capital." Seeing Aunt Xue's hesitant expression, he said again, "As the saying goes, after three days of farewell, you should look at each other with admiration. If you can't guarantee it, then the young master of the Gao family will grow up again later?"

Aunt Xue asked: "Do you know how he usually behaves?"

Jiang Zirong said with a smile: "I have never been in contact. Although I was born in a rich family, I was quite a dude in my early years. Now I am a merchant. How can the young master of Hanlin think of me as an ordinary person?"

Aunt Xue immediately remembered that those people in Rongguo Mansion looked down on her daughter's background, she said displeasedly: "What about merchants? Their family only got a daughter-in-law from a high family, and they were just poor scholars before." Let go.

Xue Baochai listened behind the screen and turned back to tell her sister, saying: "This kind of family looks radiant, and even if they are married, it is rare to have a good life. They are no different from the Mei family. I'm afraid I'm a little more arrogant, dear."

Baoqin pursed her lips and lowered her head, "What my sister said is true."

When Xue Biao came back, he discussed with Baochai: "Today I met Master Liu, and he said that the Qin family is the only son. The old man is over 70 years old, and his mother died early." He stretched his head to Baochai's ear. He lowered his voice and said, "If Baoqin enters this family, he must be the head of the family. You don't have to serve your mother-in-law." He said seriously, "His sister married Liu Xianglian, the second master of the timber business."

Xue Biao had never met Qin Keqing, but Baochai knew her, and was shocked when she first saw Second Grandma Liu.Asked her how these years have been, she said, she has already returned to vulgarity, and now she manages private accounts for the big house of Rongguo Mansion.Baochai only said it was rare, but she was shocked in her heart.The big house of Rongguo Mansion has many business contacts with Xue's family, although most of them are on Liu Aiyun's side, she knows something about it, it is really a big deal.I also guessed that eight or nine are not far from ten, and she must have been done by the Rongguo Mansion.He thought to himself, no wonder the Ningguo Mansion fell out with them.The two talked again, and Baochai became more and more surprised.When the Xue family was still living in the Rongguo Mansion, the two of them had met before. Although Grandma Xiaorong was smart, gentle, gentle, and won the hearts of everyone, she was just a daughter-in-law. Lu's Second Grandma Liu is completely two people.Later, I had some contacts, and I respected him more and more deeply.

Hearing that the young master of the Qin family is Qin Keqing's younger brother, he was satisfied for a moment, but suddenly remembered that he had heard some gossip about him in the Rongguo Mansion in the early years, and he hesitated.Fang wanted to speak, but Xue Biao said: "Master Liu said that family is very reliable, but I believe him."

Baochai also said after hearing this: "I know Second Grandma Liu, she is very rare and proper. It's just that the same rice supports a hundred people. A good sister may not necessarily be a good younger brother. Let's ask more."

Xue Pan got the letter and hurried back, discussed with Liu Aiyun, Xue Baochai and others, and invited Jia Huan to have a drink and inquire carefully.Knowing that Jia Huan could talk about everything, he also gave him some poems and essays by Qin Zhong.Xue Pan, Liu Aiyun, and Liu Aiyun were not literati, so they couldn't see how good they were, so they took them back and showed them to Baochai and Baoqin.Baoqin was embarrassed to look at it at first, so she just sat on the edge of the Kang and rubbed the corners of her skirt.Baochai first took it over and looked at it carefully, and said strangely: "This brother of the Qin family, I have heard a few ears in the early years. He said that he was shy, but in fact he was a bit petty. Looking at it now, his writing style is very generous. There is still a bit of seriousness. Not to mention the frivolity and character of the day, he is a bit mature." Thinking about his sister being forced to become a monk that day, this little Qin Xianggong also became quieter.

Xue Pan laughed and said: "Liu Erlang treats his wife like a baby. As the saying goes, he loves his house as long as he loves him. I think he is not bad to his brother-in-law. Doesn't he mean to be poor if he is petty? Now that his family is rich and he has studied, it is naturally different. "

Xue Biao said: "It's just that it's not right for their family to be supported by Liu Erlang all the time. Doesn't the family have any property?"

Xue Pan said: "There are also, but most of them are bought for his sister."

Baochai said: "It doesn't matter if you are poor, but if everyone's family is good, why don't we marry as a dowry?"

Xue Pan clapped his hands and said: "Very well, girl Qin's waist is also straighter!" He laughed again, "Today I can count as an experience of being rich and powerful!" Everyone laughed when he said that.

Xue Pan then went to tell Aunt Xue that the Qin family was close.Aunt Xue heard that "the family is well-off, there is no mother-in-law, the family is reliable, and the children are motivated", so she didn't care about the slightly lower status.Besides, Xue Pan has gradually become the master of their family over the years.

Then he took some poems by Baoqin and handed them to Jia Huan, who sent them to Qin's house in a short time.Qin Zhong watched, without saying a word, secretly praised in his heart, "What a talent!"

Baochai hesitated again and again, and finally quietly told Baoqin Qin Keqing's identity back then, which made Baoqin's eyes widen in fright.Baochai warned: "Don't let my mother know! She is old now, and she always thinks about things."

Baoqin said: "Whether it's Ningguo Mansion or the second house of Rongguo Mansion, they can be regarded as nothing. The eldest family of the Jia family is capable."

Baochai nodded again and again: "It can be seen that you are not a fool."

Two days later, the peacemaker for the Gao family came to ask Xin'er. Aunt Xue thanked her, saying that her elder brother had already made a decision for her.The man persuaded him a little more, but Aunt Xue just pushed Xue Pan.I thought the matter was over, but a few days later, another person came, and this time it was for the young master of the Liu family in the Liguo Mansion to propose marriage.Xue Pan laughed and said, "Could it be that you are going to the market to buy things? You are still bargaining." Then Aunt Xue refused again.

When the woman came back the next day, what she said was a little weird.She said: "Second Miss Xue has a poem saying, 'Not by the plum, but by the willow'. The family she said earlier was named Mei, but the marriage failed! Now the Liguo mansion is named Liu, Mrs. Xue, look, what a coincidence! Doesn’t the second girl’s poem mean that the Mei family will not succeed and the Liu family will succeed?”

Aunt Xue didn't understand what she meant, but she saw that she seemed to have a deep meaning, so she asked someone to bring this matter in and tell Baochai.Baochai was startled and angry, and said to the case, "How could Girl Qin's poems fall into their ears!" Hastily sent someone to invite Xue Pan back.

The boy who went there went to Liu Aiyun's house and told the elder girl what they said one by one, Xue Pan was furious!Just when she was about to lose her temper, Liu Aiyun said: "They must have bought some servant from Xue's family and got Miss Qin's pen and ink."

Xue Pan said angrily, "I don't know this! I just hate them for being ridiculous and presumptuous." Then he ordered the boy, "Go home quickly, and lead some strong boys to beat out that old godly woman who chews her tongue. !"

The kid was busy looking at Liu Aiyun, who was just sitting and drinking tea.The kid understood, promised to fly back to the mansion, held Xue Pan's banner and called a group of boys to come, each holding a broom and stick, and he rushed into the living room first, and threw at the woman who was still holding Aunt Xue and chatting endlessly. .Aunt Xue was confused, and the woman ran away shouting.Before Aunt Xue came back to her senses, the man had already been kicked out!All the boys in Xue's family were jubilant as if they were celebrating the New Year.

When Xue Pan returned to the mansion, he comforted Aunt Xue for a while, and then immediately went to Baochai's courtyard and said, "Ai Yun said, the Liguo Mansion is determined to marry our family, I'm afraid there is some reason."

Baochai said: "I know this, but after guessing for half a day, I can't figure out the root cause. The two families have never met before, and have never had any contact."

Xue Biao said from the side: "It stands to reason that it was for money. It's just that when Fang Xiong was there, many big families were raided, and the Liguo Mansion was never moved. Why did you want to murder our family?"

Baochai thought to herself, "None of the males in their entire family are useful. They just sit and eat. I heard that their inner pockets are exhausted. If it's just for money, it's not surprising. I'm afraid there are other reasons."

The brothers and sisters discussed for half a day, but they couldn't figure it out, so they let it go.The Liguo Mansion was stunned, but did not do anything else.

The Xue family sorted out the people up and down one by one, which is amazing!In addition to finding out a daughter-in-law who stole Xue Baoqin's poems for the Liguo Mansion, there are also various spies who took advantage of others.Xue Pan gritted his teeth: "For the time being, everyone should remember that there will always be a day when accounts will be settled." Then he sold out the whole family of those servants who were struggling, and even picked a boy with a good reputation in the industry. Clearly tell people that these are paid for outsiders to inquire about the master's affairs.Ren Yazi has seen such things a lot, so he naturally took this price down.Why does Xue Pan care about such a small amount of money?As long as these people sell to the new owner's house, they won't get any good.

Later, Xue Pan personally led Baoqin to Qingxuguan to hold a sacrificial offering, and it happened that Liu Xianglian also brought Qin Zhong to offer incense.The two young men met once in the hall.Qin Zhongqing is handsome and elegant, Xue Baoqin is bright and charming, both of them are very satisfied.Xue Pan was overjoyed, and took Liu Xianglian for a drink, and the marriage was settled. After reading the book, he chose to send the relatives off in March next year.

Aunt Xue used to be worried that her daughter and niece were hard to find someone, but suddenly both of them agreed to go out, and she was so happy that she couldn't talk from ear to ear.But immediately began to worry about Xue Pan and Xue Biao again.She couldn't control Xue Pan, and Xue Biao blocked Xue Pan, so there was nothing he could do.

In a blink of an eye, it is the New Year.Gong Kun still did not return to his hometown, and only sent a letter back to Taiwan through Ma Xing, saying that he would celebrate the New Year at home.Because Lin Daiyu and Lin Daiyu act as mutual agents for many things in his hands, Daiyu complained for a long time, and then called Jia Cong to criticize and vent her anger for a while.Jia Cong honestly didn't fight back when he was beaten or scolded, she just found it boring and let it go.

Tian Gengzi's father, Tian Mao, his two brothers, and his two brothers rushed to the Taiwan government at the New Year's Pass. Seeing the beautiful and well-behaved daughter-in-law, she used to be with Jia Cong, and now she is working in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Satisfied, ready to hold a happy event for them in the spring.

Jia Xichun and Wu You have to spend the New Year outside this time.The letter from the two of them mentioned Chen Guo, and Chen Wang, the second prince who was the leader, had some tricks, even without the tiger talisman, he subdued Chen Guo's soldiers and horses.When Xichun went to sell the prescription, Chen Wang asked the girl of the Lin family several times how she was doing now and whether she had a family.In order to stop his thoughts, Miss Jia Si's steward Wu secretly told a beautiful short bodyguard under King Chen that Miss Lin had already decided on a family and was preparing her dowry.The guard's eyes lit up when he heard the words, thanked him again and again, and even rewarded him with an ingot of gold, worth five taels!

In Beijing, Prince Beijing met Jia Zheng, the second master of the Rongguo Mansion, by Shui Rong, and invited him to a teahouse for a drink, because he casually mentioned that he had a daughter who was about the same age as Jia Zheng's grandson, Jia Lan, and heard that Uncle Xiaolan was young and talented, and wrote poems and essays. Much taller than ordinary teenagers, intending to get married.Jia Zheng only said that Jia Lan was too young to discuss marriage, so he declined.Shui Rong didn't feel that he was losing face, so he talked about it after a few years.Jia Zheng went back to his home happily, and rewarded Jia Lan with a good inkstone.

Lin Hai had no choice but to go to Su Zheng's house to celebrate the New Year because his daughter was not around.Seeing Su Cheng act coquettishly and foolishly, I was very envious.After the New Year's Eve, when Jia Huan came to Su's house to pay New Year's greetings to the gentlemen, he let out a long sigh and asked, "Are you not going to Taiwan for the time being?"

Jia Huan said: "There must be someone in the middle of the capital. If my uncle wants to go and have a look, please wait for a while. Cong'er will come over in March."

Lin Hai sighed again: "I really miss Yu'er a little bit. Forget it, I will go there with Cong'er next year."

Jia Huan smiled and clapped his hands and said, "You still miss your daughter, don't you? Hehehe." Lin Hai stroked his beard and remained silent.Jia Huan said again, "It's just that I won't be able to see Mr. every now and then."

Lin Hai turned to look at Su Zheng and said, "You should serve Mr. Su well, don't make him angry."

Jia Huan pursed his lips and muttered, "When did I ever make that old man angry?"

The bloody year came to an end quietly.The world fell apart, the emperor disappeared without a trace, and after the new year, everyone in the world has a little bit of no idea what is going on.

When Gong Kunfang came back to Taiwan in February, he lost a lot of weight.Upon hearing the news, Yuan Chun only came over to glance at him, then left in a hurry pretending to have something important to do.This matter fell into the eyes of everyone. There is no silver 300 taels here.

Jia Cong dragged Gong Kun aside and asked, "How is your first love?"

Gong Kun smiled wryly and said, "It's completely changed! It's like I don't recognize her anymore. I've settled her properly."

Jia Cong didn't ask carefully, but patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go over, it's another sunny day ahead." He didn't mention Yuanchun, and pushed him to explain things to Daiyu.

Gong Kun said: "I'm afraid the students won't be able to help Miss Lin. It's already February, my lord, it's time for us to prepare to return to Beijing."
