I can see ghosts in my left eye

In Rongxi Hall, Mrs. Wang looked at the dowry list in her hand and frowned, "This is too simple!" Putting down the list, she frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "Can the old lady rest?"

Caiyun replied: "It seems not yet. Miss Smith is here and is talking with the old lady!"

Mrs. Wang put the dowry list into her sleeve, "Let's go, let's go and have a look."

In Jia's mother's main room, Shi Xiangyun was chattering about the customs beyond the Great Wall to everyone. She and Wei Ruolan had just returned from the northern part of the Great Wall. They went to visit the Shi's family yesterday, and they came to Jia's house today.

"When I used to read books, I couldn't quite understand what kind of scene Wang Mojie's 'the desert is solitary, the long river is full of sun', but when I saw it that day, I really understood it. It is really magnificent. !Old Ancestor, Third Sister, if you have the chance, you must go and see it!"

Mrs. Wang came in with a smile, "Young girl Yun is here, I heard your voice from afar, and we have become relatives, why do you still have such a temper!"

Mother Jia put her arms around Shi Xiangyun with a smile, "So what if we're married, I'm about to become a mother, it's still the same! Fortunately, son-in-law Wei has a good temper and can bear you! It's up to you to be someone else!"

Mrs. Wang said in surprise: "Oh? Girl Yun is happy?"

Shi Xiangyun blushed, lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "It's only been two months!"

Mrs. Wang frowned slightly in her heart. What is there to be proud of? It took such a long time to get good news. If it was Bao girl, there must be good news in three to five months!Thinking of Baochai, Mrs. Wang suddenly remembered her reason for coming. Just as she was about to speak, Mother Jia asked, "Where's Baoyu? He's been here for so long, sister Yun. Why don't you see him? It's just inconvenient to come in and see Miss Yun. Go see her." It's good to see Wei's son-in-law!"

Mrs. Wang was stunned, "Baoyu must have gone to Xue's house!"

Jia's mother frowned, "I'm not talking about you, the second family. Seeing that Baoyu's wedding day is getting closer, the Xue family has no plans to move out at all. It's too shameful! Is it impossible to get married in Jia's house? It's a big joke if it gets out!"

Mrs. Wang's face was a little worried, and she explained: "It's nothing. After Baoyu gets married, he will still live in the garden. When the time comes, the team to meet the bride will come out of the garden and walk around Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion. It’s okay to go back to the garden after leaving Bao girl. After all, Xue’s family is relatives, so it’s not shameful to let someone move out rashly!”

Shi Xiangyun suddenly said: "What's outrageous about this! Even if the Xue family is a relative, they still have their own mansion in the capital. No one has been living in a relative's house, and even married in a relative's house. When others heard it, they thought Xue The family has fallen to this point! Besides, the day Sister Bao went to Beijing, Aunt Xue said that she was already sending people to repair the mansion in Beijing, so it doesn’t make sense that it hasn’t been repaired after all these years!”

When Jia's mother heard this, she glanced at Shi Xiangyun approvingly.Although she was dissatisfied with Shi Xiangyun's sudden abandonment of her and marrying Wei Ruolan, but these dissatisfaction has gradually dissipated after these years, and Wei's family is well established, which will also be a help to Baoyu in the future.Coupled with the fact that Shi Xiangyun is so knowledgeable, he is even more satisfied with Shi Xiangyun.

"Young girl Yun is right! Although it is said that a family is a family, after all, there should be some measure! Or are you willing to let outsiders say that your mother has found a low-ranking in-law for Baoyu!"

Jia Mu said pointedly.She knew that Concubine Xiande still favored Mrs. Wang, otherwise she would not have married Baoyu and Baochai.However, she didn't understand what Mrs. Wang and Baochai said to move Concubine Xiande.

Mrs. Wang's complexion was very ugly, but she didn't like to get angry, so she could only respond: "Yes, my daughter-in-law knows, so I will go and tell Xue's family." But she was extremely annoyed in her heart, this old bastard is always against me!When my Yuanchun gives birth to the prince, I will be the prince's grandmother, and then the entire Jia family will be mine. I see how you can fight against me!

In the midst of embarrassment, Yuanyang came in, "Old lady, someone from the front said that Uncle Wei has come to pick up Smith's house."

"Why do you have to go home now? Didn't you agree to stay for dinner?" Mother Jia asked displeased.

Yuanyang was not afraid of Jiamu's anger, and said with a smile: "It seems that something happened to Wei's family. Seeing Mr. Wei's appearance, he is very anxious. Mrs. Smith is in the capital now, and she will not be able to leave for a while. If the old lady misses Mrs. Smith , when can't we see each other!"

Mother Jia was so happy being coaxed by the mandarin ducks, she nodded, "Well, you are right, girl Yun, you go home first! Don't make my uncle anxious! If there is anything, just come and tell the old ancestor, and the old ancestor will give it to you." You decide!"

When Shi Xiangyun heard that Wei Ruolan came to pick him up, he wanted to leave a long time ago, but Jia Mu didn't speak, so she couldn't leave immediately.Wen Yan stood up with a smile, "Yes, don't worry, old ancestor." When he turned around and was about to leave, he saw Mrs. Wang sitting there with a stiff face, and remembered what she had done to him before, and couldn't help laughing, "Oh , It’s just that it’s so easy to come here, and I didn’t even see the face of my beloved brother. Alas! It’s just that I heard that unmarried couples are not allowed to meet before marriage. Maybe I heard it wrong. I don’t know. Second wife, I'm leaving first."

After Shi Xiangyun left, Mother Jia's face darkened, "Huh! Why don't you know what girl Yun knows! Why don't you get someone to call Baoyu back to me soon! It's only a month, can't you even wait for this little time?" ?”

Mrs. Wang's complexion was ashen, so she had to ask someone to call Jia Baoyu back.

After a while, Mother Jia saw that Mrs. Wang hadn't left yet, and asked lazily, "Aren't you busy with Baoyu's marriage? Why don't you leave?"

Mrs. Wang remembered her reason for coming, and hurriedly took out Baoyu's betrothal gift list from her sleeve, "Old lady, it's like this. My daughter-in-law read the betrothal gift list and thought it was a bit thin. Look, should I add something? Daughter-in-law I remember that a few years ago, the one-person-high coral that my aunt gave me was pretty good! And that box of South Sea pearls”

"Those are Min'er's filial piety to me!" Mother Jia dropped a sentence coldly, "Besides, do you know how much the Xue family gave Bao girl as a dowry? You just gave so much dowry so generously." What's more, even if these dowries are all brought back by Bao girl, they can only be counted as Bao girl's dowry! What does it have to do with my Baoyu? Why should I use my dowry as a face for Bao girl? If you want, feel free Take your dowry and add as much as you want!"

Mrs. Wang turned dark all of a sudden, "Old lady, didn't you say that?"

"That's right, I said that when Baoyu got married, I would pay the dowry, but now I'm not happy! I don't know which law says that when a grandson gets married, a grandmother must pay the dowry? The Xue family is not so rich Why? How can I care about these things! Well, I’m tired and I’m going to rest, so go down!” After speaking, Jia Mu held Yuanyang’s hand and turned to go to the inner room.

Leaving Mrs. Wang sitting there alone, she almost gnawed her silver teeth into pieces!

But Mother Jia's words also reminded Mrs. Wang that if these dowries were sent over, even if my younger sister brought all of them as dowry to Baochai, it would still be Baochai's dowry, and it had nothing to do with my Baoyu, no!You can't give too much, it's better to give Baoyu directly.

Mrs. Wang would be sullen when she was born, so she got up and went to the courtyard where Xue's family lived now, and told Jia Mu what she said.Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai blushed, but they said: "It should be so, it should be so, we will move tomorrow, we will move tomorrow!"

After sending Mrs. Wang away, Aunt Xue shed tears angrily, "It's too much of a deception! It's too much of a deception!"

Although Xue Baochai also hated and was angry, but after all the city was deeper, she held back her tears and came over to persuade her: "Mom, don't cry, we also have a house in the capital, and we used to rely on Jia's house just because I was afraid that my brother would be left alone. Yes. It’s okay to move out now, as long as my daughter wants to marry out of my own family, that’s the only reason.”

Aunt Xue burst into tears, "My son, why do you say that?" Baochai was always smart, so why didn't she understand that moving out is easy, but moving in again is difficult.There's nothing wrong with living in Jia's mansion, all supplies are from Jia's family, and Jia's family has a lady in the palace.On the other hand, the Xue family has already declined.

Xue Baochai persuaded: "Mom, I understand what you mean, and I also know that my brother will be able to talk about a good marriage in the future by relying on Jia's family. It's just that the old lady has already opened her mouth. If we continue to live brazenly, then That's what makes people look down on you! Mom, don't worry, the old lady is old, how long can she live! One day, I will pay back a hundred times the humiliation we have suffered today!"

Aunt Xue wiped her tears and said urgently: "Baby girl, don't mess around! Just wait patiently, as long as your mother gives birth to a child, we will have hope."

Xue Baochai nodded, "Well, I know. Mom, don't say much, since you are going to move, let's pack up your things quickly! Let someone call my brother back to see if there is anything to add over there, so I might as well take this opportunity Get ready together!"

The Xue family hastily moved out of the Jia family.When Mrs. Wang and Concubine Xiande were talking, Concubine Xiande rubbed her belly, feeling a little regretful, "Oh, I hope the prescription given by Aunt Xue is really useful! We will know in about seven or eight days. It's just, Yiren, if the Xue family has moved away , we are not very clear about the situation of the Xue family, how much money does the Xue family have?"

Mrs. Wang understood Concubine Xiande's intentions, "Don't worry, my lady, I know it well! As long as my lady can conceive a dragon fetus, the Xue family will be my mother's and the prince's purse! This lady must take good care of this purse!"

The Xue family's condition for convincing Concubine Xiande was to give Concubine Xiande the secret recipe for childbirth that Aunt Xue had used in the past, and once Concubine Xiande gave birth to a prince, the Xue family was willing to spend the whole family's wealth for Concubine Xiande and the prince!Concubine Xiande is short of money, and the Xue family intends to use Jia's family to change the lintel, and both parties get what they need, and this finally achieves a golden and jade marriage!
