Weiyang of the Red Mansion

When Jia She returned home, he didn't go to see his eldest sister, but went straight back to the East Court.

Before he came back, he thought carefully about Liu Hong's matter for the time being. He thought Liu Hong was a good match for his sister, but the master and wife might not think so.

Nowadays, people pay attention to the right family. As for whether the relationship between husband and wife is good, it is actually not a question that the current high-ranking people will consider, because they have never paid attention to feelings, just like before the master asked his wife to match Jia Zheng with a girl from the Wang family. He considered whether Jia Zheng and the Wang family would get along, and directly said that if Zheng'er didn't like it, he would arrange two more girls to serve the pen and ink.

What does the girl who serves pen and ink do in this era?No need to explain at all, everyone understands.

Only those who came from the new era of Jia She pay attention to these things, which can be said to be a wonderful flower of this era.

Even if Liu Hong got the first place in the township examination, he was also Xie Yuan in this subject in the capital, but he couldn't hide the fact that he was just a juren. Although Xie Yuan was better than ordinary juren, in fact he was not much better.

Liu Hong wanted to marry his sister as a Juren, without his relationship, it would be a dream.

No matter how his younger sister was born of a concubine, it cannot be denied that she is the eldest daughter of the Duke. If Liu Hong's family used to be an official's family, it would be better to say that with Xie Yuan's status, coupled with his previous connections, it is not impossible to match his sister. , but Liu Hong’s family is just ordinary people. I don’t know if anyone has been an official before, but most of the people living in the south of the capital are common people. Liu Hong’s family used to be a family of officials, and the elders had some friends. She came to rescue their brothers and sisters.

Without Jia She's words, Liu Hong would never be able to marry the Duke's daughter, even if he was a concubine, he would not be able to match him. With Jia She's father's current status, Jia She's eldest sister, the prince and concubine, would not dare to think about it. , but the side concubine is worthy, Xie Yuan's wife and the prince's side concubine are simply different.

But what Jia She cares about is feelings, status, etc. As long as Liu Hong is not stupid, he can get up if he is promoted first or second. It's much better than being a side concubine for the prince.

As soon as he stepped into the east courtyard, a five or six-year-old child rushed over and hugged Jia She's leg, "Father, father, where are my books?"

Jia She bent down to pick up his son, and said with a smile, "Father gave it to Xu Jie, but your uncle Xu didn't give it to you?"

"Uncle Xu hasn't returned yet." Jia Shen said unhappily.

Jia Amnesty carried his son into the house, and saw Tang Xi walking around the house with her big belly, not fast.

In December last year, Tang Xi went to the doctor and found out that she was pregnant, and she was about to give birth in ten and a half months. Jia She was still a little nervous. For the sake of copying those lonely copies, the envoy of the Qin court came here without saying a word. Now that Tang Xi's fetal position is extremely upright, she doesn't feel any discomfort when she was pregnant with Jia Shen. Jia She often talked about this to Jia Shen, saying that he Mother almost died in order to give birth to him, but it made Jia Shen cling to Tang Xi for a while.

Fortunately, Jia Shen is growing up. At the beginning of last year, Jia Daishan slipped away and started to practice martial arts. At the same time, he studied with Tang Xi, and his life... was very fulfilling.

Jia Amnesty is full of sympathy for the eldest son's daily life.

"Xi'er, how do you feel today?" Jia Amnesty put Jia Shen down, asked his mother-in-law to send Jia Shen to Jia Daishan, and walked over to support Tang Xi.

Tang Xi smiled and said, "I'm fine, but my wife is in a hurry now."

"What's the rush?" Jia She asked suspiciously.

Tang Xi glanced at Jia She, "It's not because of you that you have to choose a sweet one for your eldest sister, but now it's good, your eldest sister is already twenty years old, and your wife has given you an ultimatum, what do you choose?" Okay, if this goes on, the wife won't let you mess around anymore."

"There is already a clue, but it's not sure yet." Jia She said with a smile when he heard that it was for this.

Tang Xi was a little surprised, "You really found the right one? Don't be a liar, right?"

"Okay, you are heavy, so you don't have to worry about these things. Besides, when have I ever lied to you?" Jia She put his arms around Tang Xi and helped her sit down.

Tang Xi said, "The wife of the former son still frowns when she mentions you. It's only been a few days?"

"Isn't this still uncertain?" Jia She shrugged and turned to ask, "But it's not just because of the eldest sister that the wife is anxious, right?"

Tang Xi rubbed her stomach and said, "There is also my second brother and younger siblings."

"What happened to the two of them?" Jia Amnesty asked suspiciously, "I remember that they have a good relationship, right?"

"The relationship is very good, but we have been married for three years and haven't had a child. My wife is very anxious. I heard that I sent a girl there, and my second brother sold it off. I really didn't give my wife any face," said Here, Tang Xi glared at Jia She, "You are such a good brother."

Jia She said innocently, "What does this have to do with me? I didn't teach my second brother to sell the girl my wife gave me."

"How dare you say that the year before last, my wife gave you a maid, but you turned around and sold it? At that time, the second younger brother came to argue with you, but you persuaded the second younger brother. Not only the second younger brother turned to you, but the second younger brother and sister also thanked you What?" Tang Xi said with a smile.

Jia She curled her lips, "I told you a long time ago that I promise you to be a couple for the rest of your life, so I won't let you down. What's more, the two of us are doing well, why do you insert a maid in here? The wife is too. Seeing that you haven't conceived for three or four years, Just be in a hurry."

"Is it true that being a wife is giving you a girl? I haven't been pregnant in the past few years. You don't know why? Isn't it because you are afraid? The wife just knows that, so she sent a girl to stimulate you." Tang Xi said angrily.

Jia Amnesty: "..." Since your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have such a high tacit understanding, I am excluded, right?

"But what's going on with the second brother and younger siblings? They're not young anymore, and there's nothing wrong with their bodies. How come they've been married for so long without any news?"

The two Jia She brothers have a good relationship, and the sisters-in-law in the house are also harmonious, and there are no dark conflicts. Tang Xi is really worried about the second wife.

"There's no need to worry about it. Children follow fate, so how can we say that we have them?" Jia She said.

Seeing Jia Amnesty like this, Tang Xi lost the interest in talking, and instead said, "You said earlier that the elder sister's marriage is on track, so it shows that you have a candidate. Tell me what kind of person this person is?"

"Actually, they are also acquaintances," Jia Amnesty said with some embarrassment, "You have met Liu Susu a few times before, do you remember her?"

How clever Tang Xi was, she immediately thought of Liu Susu's unmarried brother, and was stunned, "You mean Liu Hong?"

She did know this person, he seemed to be a brother and sister who were rescued by Jia She from the snow disaster in Showa 28. They have been living in Jia She's other courtyard for the past few years. I heard that Xiaoqi has been studying hard and has some talents.

"Are you sure? Are you kidding me? I really want to mention it to my wife. Do you believe that my wife will invite the master to come and take care of me right away?" This time Tang Xi lost her face.

She didn't have any objections to Liu Hong, but Liu Hong's status was too bad. Even if her sister was not young, she was the daughter of a duke of the state, so she wasn't worthy of a scholar, right?

Jia She knew what Tang Xi was thinking, and immediately said, "This year's township examination has released the rankings, and Liu Hongzhong won Jie Yuan from Shuntian Mansion. I know that Jie Yuan's status alone is not enough to be worthy of a big sister, but there is one thing that is better than mine. Ten times as much as others."

Tang Xi knew that Jia Amnesty was not a random person, and when he heard that Liu Hong had already won the prize, his expression became better, "Which point?"

She wants to see if Jia She can tell the flowers.

"Liu Hong met his younger sister in Lingguang Temple six years ago, and met him a few times later. He fell in love with his eldest sister. Although I don't know how to play tricks, I still think I can do it when I ask myself in the Ministry of War in the past few years. Train your eyesight, Liu Hong has lived in my other courtyard for several years, I know his character well, not to mention his sister married Kong Lu, so he is also part of my own family, if not for the snowstorm that killed both his parents, It wouldn't have been delayed for three years to keep the filial piety. I saw that he had a deep affection for his eldest sister. Otherwise, he would have passed the filial piety period in Showa 30. Why did he delay the marriage until now? He... has been waiting for his elder sister. younger sister."

Tang Xi was silent, and said, "On this point alone, he is indeed better than many people, but have you ever thought that the eldest sister will like him?"

Jia She said with a smile, "My younger sister was brought up by the Four Books for Women, and she is also gentle. A few years ago, she might still have some dreams of a boudoir daughter's family for her future husband, but after a few years, her heart has long since calmed down. I am afraid that the requirements for her husband are already extremely low. Although Liu Hong's status is not good enough, it is rare that he has feelings for his sister. He is not stupid. As long as his sister has no one in her heart, after marriage, with his sincerity and ability It's not difficult to make the eldest sister fall in love with him, but it's just a matter of exchanging sincerity for sincerity."

"You really came to find your sister-in-law completely according to yourself. You have expressed his thoughts so clearly. It seems that you have talked with him?" Tang Xi asked with a smile.

Jia She nodded, "Actually, I just came back from him. You don't know. When I passed by, I happened to meet a matchmaker, who was invited by the Marquis of Dingcheng. The Marquis of Dingcheng wanted to match his concubine with Liu Hong, but Liu Hong decided to marry him." Refused."

Tang Xi looked at Jia Amnesty with a half-smile, "You want Liu Hong to marry the eldest sister, and you also want to make the prince of the city look good?"

"Xi'er, why do you think of me so much?" Jia She said with a sneer, "Naturally, I have a little thought, but my sister's happiness is still the first. If it's just a slap in the face, I just want to make Dingchenghou not marry his daughter to Liu. It's done, why bother to bring my sister in?"

"What did Liu Hong say, when do you plan to propose marriage?"

Hearing this, Jia She was overjoyed, it seemed that his daughter-in-law was persuaded by him.

"I told him that if you marry my sister, you can't have second thoughts, and you can't have another woman. I'll ask him to think carefully before proposing marriage, otherwise don't blame me for not remembering the past."

Hearing this, Tang Xi smiled and said, "It's really your style. You say all the ugly things first, and it directly cuts off his retreat. Are you sure he won't retreat in spite of difficulties?"

Men nowadays have three wives and four concubines. It's really rare to see such strange people as the Jia brothers. At least she hasn't seen a man from an official family who doesn't have concubines. A few housegirls.
