Baochai is a happy wife [Red Mansion]
Chapter 56
In Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng invited Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai and other contemporaries to a banquet. The elders were Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian who had visited before.
Xue Baochai just nodded when she saw Lin Daiyu.Lin Daiyu didn't get close to Xue Baochai either, the two of them sat some distance away, and they both knew each other well that since what happened to Xu Jiayue, they couldn't get too close.
They are only about three years old, even if they appear in common places, basically no one regards them as competitors.
They are three years apart, and they can be separated if they say they are relatives.What's more, the parents of the two families are both alive, and each has their own circles. The Lin family's social circle is biased towards civil servants, while Xue's family has civil servants and military officials.
Even though they all have a relative like Jia Baoyu, none of them think about being with Jia Baoyu, let alone have conflicts.
Of course, it was impossible for Wang Xifeng to bring these two cousins together with Jia Baoyu, and she didn't think about making them get too close.She also knew the bad things that Xu Jiayue did, and sometimes she would rather believe it than believe it. If someone misunderstood Xue Baochai for hurting Lin Daiyu, it would be difficult.
After all, Xue Baochai was born with supernatural power and a straightforward temper, not so gentle.And Lin Daiyu is very gentle, if the two get together, if Lin Daiyu is unhappy, others will take it for granted that Xue Baochai bullied Lin Daiyu.
Women are weaker and more lovable.That's what men like. If it's a woman, women don't like being so weak.
Therefore, it is normal that Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu are not close.The two are also planting flowers, Xue Baochai is studying cosmetics, while Lin Daiyu is composing poems and burying flowers. The former makes people feel tacky and philistine, while the latter makes people feel literary.
But Wang Xifeng said that the two have their own advantages, and we can't just say that being elegant is not elegant, or that a philistine is not a philistine.
If no one studies makeup, how can these women apply makeup?The makeup powder developed by men is not necessarily better than the powder developed by women. Women understand women better.
For a while, these sisters and sisters were all sitting in the yard.
"There are a lot of plum blossoms planted in the mansion next door. I think I will plant a few more in the mansion." Wang Xifeng said with a smile. The ones planted inside are not as good as those in the suburbs that form a large area.”
"That's the way to grow it." Xue Baochai had only this sentence.If you want to plant flowers, you can plant them, and you don't need Wang Xifeng to plant them yourself. There are maids and servants, and these big families are like this.
"What Miss Xue said is very true." Lin Daiyu echoed, "Let the people in the mansion take care of it, even me, not in front of those flowers and plants every day, and not all of them are planted by me."
Lin Daiyu mainly grows flowers and plants that she likes, as well as those that her family likes.Even so, sometimes she didn't take care of everything, and the people and servants in the mansion would take care of it more, so she, the master, didn't need to say much.
"It's boring to plant too much." Jia Tanchun said, "Either put it in the mansion to see for yourself, or give it to the elders. There is no shortage of flowers and plants in the elders' place."
On the other side of the second room, Mrs. Wang entered the family temple. When Li Wan was there before, Jia Tanchun's mother-in-law, Aunt Zhao, was not in charge of the second room.Now, Li Wan left with Jia Zhu, Jia Zhu's room was still divided, and Jia Baoyu followed Mrs. Jia. Jia Zheng originally wanted Aunt Zhao to take care of it, but Mrs. Jia didn't want it.
What Mrs. Jia was thinking was that Aunt Zhao had a concubine. If Aunt Zhao was allowed to manage the second room, it was inevitable that the other party would take advantage of Jia Huan and drag everything to Jia Huan.So Mrs. Jia ordered Aunt Zhou. Aunt Zhou didn't have any children. If she wanted to have a better life in the future, she must treat Jia Baoyu better.
This made Aunt Zhao unhappy, and it also made Jia Tanchun very unhappy.
Of course, Jia Tanchun hoped that his mother would be in charge of the second room. Although she was not particularly close to her mother, her own mother was always better than someone who had no blood relationship with her.Obviously her own mother gave birth to children, but Aunt Zhou did not, so it stands to reason that her own mother should take care of it.
She is still young and doesn't think so much.
When a woman has a child, she tends to think about her own child.The same is true for men. If a man has a child, he can't worry too much about brotherhood.
Mrs. Jia is guarding against Aunt Zhao, and Aunt Zhao will coax Jia Zheng. Mrs. Jia is not worried about who Aunt Zhao is worried about, so it is better to let Aunt Zhou take care of it.
How could Wang Xifeng not know Jia Tanchun's thoughts? The girls in Rongguo Mansion are not merchant girls, and they are not the same as Xue Baochai. It is not easy to sell these flowers and plants.That is, if they want to sell things in private, they have to be more cautious.
But the girls in Rongguo Mansion don't need to sell things, they are not short of money.Furthermore, the girls in Rongguo Mansion have more time to learn more things, and when they get married in the future, they will be with Jia Yuanchun in the palace.
When Wang Xifeng thought of Jia Yuanchun, he thought that they hadn't seen Jia Yuanchun for a long time.Jia Yuanchun is only a concubine in the palace, so it's not good for him to give them any opinion.
"It's not necessarily bad to have more variety." Xue Baochai said with a smile, "Sister Tanchun can also study, and it's good to make some flower cakes on weekdays."
"I don't see you doing it." Wang Xifeng said, after all, it didn't mean that the maids around Xue Baochai did it.If it was a maid, Jia Tanchun might think that Xue Baochai compared Jia Tanchun to a maid.
In fact, many noble girls know a little bit of cooking skills, even Wang Xifeng can do a little bit.The female elders in the family will tell them that they don't need to be very proficient in cooking, but they have to know a little bit. Occasionally make snacks for men. Even if the taste is not so good, the man will be in a good mood.
Flower cakes are also elegant, and it’s good to learn.
That's what Wang Xifeng thinks, it's not only the servant girls who know how to do it, but also some masters.
"Isn't it because I'm not very good at cooking?" Xue Baochai frowned slightly, "They don't eat it if they don't cook well. Eat, the servant girl is not short of this kind of food."
"You're so good at making makeup, why don't you think you can do anything?" Wang Xifeng felt that Xue Baochai was already very good, and there was no need to be excellent in all aspects.
"I never thought about it that way." Xue Baochai didn't think about it when he was in the realm of comprehension, and he doesn't think about it now either.If you want to know everything, you have to, and you are very tired.
"Flower cakes are pretty good." Lin Daiyu nodded, "I also make some on weekdays."
"I'll have to try sister Daiyu's cooking sometime." Wang Xifeng said with a smile, "Speaking of which, you guys are good at a lot, but I... don't have that many good things. I guess I can only wait to train my daughter. gone."
"Yes." Xue Baochai nodded seriously.
"Speaking of my daughter, my cousin and I don't know if we can produce a smart daughter. If she can't learn it, then I feel sorry for her." Wang Xifeng is not afraid of others talking, and she is not so shy. She also speaks bluntly in front of her sisters.She is a straightforward person, not that awkward.
The banquet hosted by Wang Xifeng went smoothly, while Mrs. Xing sat in the yard drinking tea.
Because Jia Yingchun has a good relationship with Princess Ning and Princess Ning, even if Jia Yingchun is a concubine, some people still talk about Mrs. Xing.Those people thought that the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion did not have a concubine daughter, and this concubine daughter was almost used as a concubine daughter, but it was still a little worse than a concubine daughter.
It doesn't matter, there are also almost marriages.
There are hundreds of girls in the family, and Jia Yingchun is not ready yet, so she has to wait until next year.Already this year, many people have been whispering in secret. Mrs. Xing is a stepmother, so she doesn't want to care about it.She thought that the eldest sister-in-law was like a mother, and Wang Xifeng was also in charge of Zhongfu, so she just let Wang Xifeng take care of it.
Mrs. Xing thinks that it is not easy to make decisions. If she decides, it is estimated that Jia Amnesty will not talk about her very much, so Mrs. Jia will definitely talk about her.
Since the Lin family was safe and sound, Jia Yucun did not go to the Lin family to teach Lin Daiyu, so Jia Yucun did not send Lin Daiyu to Beijing with a letter of recommendation.And because many things happened inside the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng had no contact with Jia Yucun, nor did Jia Amnesty, so Jia Yucun sought an official position from elsewhere.
It's just that the maid beside Zhen Yinglian's mother was still going to be Jia Yucun's concubine, and she was also straightened up later.
But this was all a long time ago. Now, Zhen Yinglian and her mother, Mrs. Zhen, live in Jinling in peace.Coincidentally, their residence is close to Feng's house. Many years ago, Mrs. Zhen happened to help Mrs. Feng, and it was considered to have saved Mrs. Feng's life.The two families moved around, and Feng Yuan and Zhen Yinglian grew up together as childhood sweethearts.
Feng Yuan met Zhen Yinglian early on, so he didn't like men or anything like that. Instead, he thought Zhen Yinglian was very good.Although the Feng family is not as good as before, there is still a lot of money in the family, and they can still live a prosperous life.
Later, when Mrs. Feng heard that her son liked Zhen Yinglian and wanted to marry Zhen Yinglian, she did not object.
Mrs. Feng really felt that the Zhen family was relatively poor. If Zhen Yinglian married into the Feng family, she would have to help Mrs. Zhen a lot.But Mrs. Zhen saved her life after all, so she thought maybe it was time for her to repay her kindness, and her son liked Zhen Yinglian, so she should marry her.
So Mrs. Feng went to find Mrs. Zhen, and she had to ask Mrs. Zhen what she meant.
"Brother Yuan is good." Mrs. Zhen could see that Feng Yuan was good to Zhen Yinglian. Their family was originally a small family, and they were all women.She thinks that there is no need to be so reserved, there is no need to refuse, as long as it is good and understandable, then it is fine.
"So, do you agree?" Mrs. Feng asked.
"I agree." Madam Zhen said with a smile, "The two of them are childhood sweethearts, so there's nothing to say no to."
"It's good to know the basics." Mrs. Feng nodded, "In a few days, I'll find a matchmaker."
After Mrs. Feng left, Mrs. Zhen went to find Zhen Yinglian and told her about the Feng family's coming to propose marriage.Before she agreed, she didn't ask Zhen Yinglian, because she thought that her daughter would be happy and it was impossible to refuse.
"I listen to my mother." Zhen Yinglian was a little shy. It was really nice for the brother of the Feng family to meet her often.
Over the years, the Feng family and the Zhen family have frequent contacts, and Feng Yuan has also helped the Zhen family.Zhen Yinglian understands that Feng Yuan is the best choice for her. It is not always good to marry someone else. Marrying Feng Yuan, and having her mother's life-saving grace to Mrs. Feng, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will be better.
Xue Baochai just nodded when she saw Lin Daiyu.Lin Daiyu didn't get close to Xue Baochai either, the two of them sat some distance away, and they both knew each other well that since what happened to Xu Jiayue, they couldn't get too close.
