[Red Mansions] Why does Xiaoye want to whitewash

At that moment, Jia Lian's heart was beating very fast. The sudden utterance of a person who usually doesn't talk about love was the most unbearable. He was very cowardly and immediately looked away from her. no one.

The husband and wife have always been very bickering, but they suddenly changed to the warm route. It was okay at first, but after a while, both of them felt uncomfortable, and they smiled at each other and returned to the usual way of getting along.

But Jia Lian also remembered the matter of welcoming the spring. Wang Xifeng was pregnant and definitely couldn't take care of her sister-in-law's marriage. At this time, Jia Lian, the elder brother, had to provide some snacks, otherwise it would be delayed.

But although Yingchun was born in the rich family of Rongguo Mansion, she was a concubine after all. If she was too tall, she would be looked down upon, and if she was too low, Jia Lian also felt that she had been wronged, and she had no idea for a while.

But even so, Jia Lian asked Wang Xifeng to tell her when she had time that the family had not forgotten her marriage, so she should not worry.

This task is not troublesome, so when Yingchun came to see her sister-in-law, Wang Xifeng personally comforted her a few words, looked at the little girl's blushing face, and joked: "This girl's family has such a day." If you have any preferences, you can tell your sister-in-law, and I will pass them on to your second brother Lian later."

Yingchun just shook her head and pursed her lips, "Yingchun always listens to Lian's second brother and sister-in-law."

On the other hand, the fact that Xue Baochai could not choose to be the escort of the princess was a blow to the Xue family. She herself might be too embarrassed to go out to be a guest for a long time. One aspect is to save face, and she doesn't want to see others sympathize or ridicule eyes.

At that time, when the news came back that the request could not be fulfilled, Xue Wang held Baochai and cried: "My poor son!"

Later, Baochai recovered, but she still had a mournful face all day long. Because of this, Xue Pan went out early and returned late every day, and because he didn't like the strict discipline of Jia's family, he stayed in the house all day long. Wandering outside with a bunch of dudes.

It made Xue Wang even more feel that his life is miserable, he can't do anything, but his son is not motivated at all, and it is a drag on his daughter's future.

It's just that she didn't restrain Xue Pan. After a long time, Baochai also felt irritable, and she didn't like to go out even more.Except when it is necessary to appear, most of the time I spend most of my time doing needlework and reading books in the house, and I can also hide and relax.

But when Xue Wang came back that day, his face changed from his usual depressed face, and he happily said to his daughter: "Do you know what your aunt told me today?"

Baochai put down the book in her hand, it was rare to see her mother so happy, with a smile on her face, and asked curiously, "What did Auntie tell Mom?"

"It's about your marriage!"

Baochai was startled when she heard her mother's happy words, and immediately let the maids go out, and then asked nervously, "Is Auntie going to be a matchmaker for your daughter?"

"You're right to say that." Xue Wang frowned mysteriously, sat next to her daughter, and whispered; "Your aunt said that there is no better girl than you, so she implicitly hinted to me that she wants to marry her." Your niece has become a daughter-in-law..."

Baochai really didn't expect it, twisted the handkerchief, bit her lip and asked, "Auntie, auntie really said that?"

"That's not right! Is it still fake? Can Mom still lie to you?"

"Then..." Baochai unconsciously thought of his cousin's handsome face, and he felt a little hot, but he still said rationally: "What does Auntie say? If you want to, you have to go through Ming Road, right?"

"Your aunt is not because of the old lady. She said that the old lady once mentioned that she wanted Daiyu and Baoyu to make a pair. Although she didn't mention it later, it's not easy to make a decision directly. Let's wait." .”

"Sister Daiyu?" The eyebrows and eyes seemed to be unable to stretch.

Xue Wang thought that her daughter was not confident, so she immediately patted her hand comfortingly, and said, "My daughter is incomparable to anyone. Does everyone say that you are generous and sensible?"

"Mom—" Xue Baochai shook her head in disapproval, "Daiyu's younger sister Zhong Lingyu is very talented, and her daughter is not as good as her, but since my aunt is in the way of the old lady's opinion, can you guarantee that she will be able to make decisions in the future? Besides, when will I wait, I am older than Baoyu."

"How old are you?" However, Mrs. Xue also felt that her daughter's time should not be wasted too late. After all, a man can't wait for a woman, so he said, "I'll ask your aunt later, we really can't take care of you." wait."

Now that her opinion has been listened to, Baochai nodded and said, "Then mother, you should also pay attention to it, don't spread it, and if it doesn't make my reputation, it won't hurt."

"Daughter, you are right."

After all, Mrs. Xue remembered the private conversation between the mother and daughter. When she went to her sister's place later, she asked about it. Mrs. Wang naturally assured her that she would make them feel at ease.

And the reason why she is so confident is naturally because when she complained before, Zhu'er also expressed her dislike for Baoyu and Lin Daiyu's marriage.

Now my sister came to ask again, she thought about it, and when her son came back to pay his respects in the main room at night, she said that she wanted to promise Baochai to Baoyu, and she praised: "Baochai is exquisite and tactful." , is a good candidate to be the master of the house!"

"Mother, my cousin is really good, but Baoyu is still young, it's okay for us to wait, there is no need to settle so early." Jia Zhu also admitted that Xue's cousin is indeed a good wife, but only the cousin herself, married Still have to consider other.

Mrs. Wang curled her lips after hearing this, "I don't know that your brother is not in a hurry, but after I hinted to your aunt, she said that you have to go through Ming Road."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Jia Zhu really didn't understand that Baoyu's current age would be fine in a few years, and she was not a woman who might delay her apricot.

"It's not an old lady. When Baoyu came back last time, she didn't care about the defense of men and women. She insisted on having her grandchildren in front of her. When others can't see that she is trying to match her up!"

Speaking of Mrs. Wang, she was angry. She and Jia Min didn't get along very well when they were in the boudoir, it was just a friendship on the face of affection.When she married in, Jia Min still had a pampered and proud look, no one would feel too comfortable after watching her for a long time.

Now her daughter has eyes above the top and looks pitiful and weak. She is determined not to marry such an unlucky girl to her son, and she is so dry. How can she give birth to grandchildren in the future?

So Mrs. Wang said that she didn't want Daiyu to marry her, and she didn't like her son getting too close to Daiyu. Naturally, she wanted to dispel her mother-in-law's thoughts as soon as possible.

But Jia Zhu didn't know that her grandmother had the idea of ​​matching Baoyu and Daiyu, so she just said: "I will talk to my grandmother, mother, you should also make it clear to my aunt that Baoyu's marriage is already planned by my son." , don't delay my cousin."

"Why didn't I know?!" Although Mrs. Wang believed in her son, she didn't feel very happy. Instead, she felt angry that her rights had been violated.

Jia Zhu also knew that as an elder brother, making decisions about his younger brother's marriage without authorization would definitely make his parents dissatisfied, so he never mentioned it before.And now the reason why I want to tell the unspoken things is really because I didn't expect my mother to be so eager to order Baoyu.

So when her mother was obviously unhappy, Jia Zhu softened her voice, "Mother, this matter is just wishful thinking of my son. After all, the marriage still needs to be initiated by the man."

Mrs. Wang's ears moved. Although she was listening to his explanation, she didn't turn around to face Jia Zhu.

But Jia Zhu didn't take it seriously, and continued: "The so-called good marriage of two surnames is not just for you. The relationship between the Xue family and us is already very close. Now, apart from being rich, Baoyu is treated in other ways." , It doesn't help our family much..."

Mrs. Wang turned around and directly retorted: "Your brother has such a temperament, is money not enough? Although he is studying with a great scholar, his mind is full of romantic affairs, and he doesn't care about his official career. If he has money, he will have no worries about food and clothing! "

"My son doesn't think so." Jia Zhu shook his head directly, and patiently explained his objection to his mother: "Even if he doesn't want to take an official career, he can still occupy a place in the scholarly circle. Baoyu may not like being an official, but his descendants What about it? And what is needed in it cannot be satisfied by money.”

"Then..." Mrs. Wang's tone was a little loose, "Then can you guarantee that the one you said is better than Baochai?"

"Although the wealth may not be as rich as the Xue family's, but the son is interested in the background, and the family may not be interested in Baoyu..." Jia Zhu paused, seeing her mother's expression was a little dissatisfied, and immediately returned. Said: "So you will restrain people well in the future. Baoyu is getting older. I don't want to make provocative things like the maids when he was young."

"Baoyu has a good temper and outstanding looks. I don't believe that anyone would pick him up!"

Jia Zhu ignored her reluctance, and continued: "If you really like Baochai, that's okay, but I hope to order it according to the order of my parents, otherwise, if there is something rumored about my cousin in our house Things are not good for reputation."

And it was obvious that Jia Zhu's retreat was very useful. Madam Wang immediately grabbed his wrist and asked, "First tell me who you are looking for."

Mrs. Wang felt that she had to know who it was before she could judge whether she should give up Baochai, right?As for Jia Zhu's previous remarks that people would look down on Baoyu, she still couldn't agree with it. In her opinion, her son, even the princess and princess, deserved it.

"This son can't tell you, lest..."

"So as not to hurt people's reputation!" Mrs. Wang interrupted directly, and said somewhat unhappily: "I am your mother, what can't you say to me!"

"in case."
