Mrs. Xing reversed the Dream of Red Mansions
Chapter 64 Calculation
"Oh, who is it?" It was the first time Xing Wei heard of such a thing, asking the matchmaker to bring her here, this is also a very smart person, she is not afraid that the matchmaker is a black heart, just sell her out?
"No, that's the one, the one on the far left." Probably because she was afraid of being picked as a slave, the girl hid on the far side, and she was afraid that people would not see her, so she just picked a position on the left and stood there. Observe the movement in this hall from Renfengli.
Even though she was dressed poorly, she kept her neck down as much as possible, but when she looked at her standing posture and her demeanor, she was different from that group of bewildered village girls. She was not a person on the same level, but a smart girl. , It's just that she was too careful, her intelligence was exposed, not to mention that her identity was suspicious, even if she had nothing to do with it, Xing Wei would not buy such a girl for her daughter.
"Did she tell you where she came from, and how much money she gave you, which made you feel compassionate?" Xing Wei asked with a smile. Mrs. Chen is also considered a smart person. Xing Wei didn't mean to hinder people from making money, but she didn't believe that she brought people in without asking clearly, so just ask and see.Mrs. Chen is honest and not honest
"I gave you 100 taels," Mrs. Chen raised her finger and clicked her tongue. If it weren't for the fact that there were two loyal servants beside this little girl, she would really have thought about abducting her. Those 100 taels of silver, those who buy and sell people, who doesn't have a few dead ghosts in their hands?
Mrs. Chen sold what she knew to Xing Wei in just a moment. After all, the 100 taels was considered a windfall, and the little girl came for Mrs. Hou. She didn't make it clear how to deal with her in the future. She is a regular customer who can save her life and make money: "She said that her surname is Xue, and she has some relatives in the Hou's house by beating around the bush. Because she is a little dirty, she is afraid that she will not be welcomed by the house if she comes to the door rashly, so she went to the old man's place. , I gave Laosang 100 taels and asked Laoshen to bring her in. Laoshen was not willing at first, but she made it clear that her family was originally relatives with the second-bedroom wife’s family in your house, and she could tell how old the second-bedroom wife was in your house. The name of a young master and sister, the old man saw that she looked like a big sister, and saw that there were two old servants serving her, thinking that it might be true, and then thinking that since she had asked the old man so hard I'm afraid I know something about the Rongguo Mansion. Even if I don't bring her here today, I'm afraid I'll have to find another opportunity later. It's not good to make it known to everyone, so I will take her rashly. She came to show Madam Hou, I don't know if you have any instructions?" Mrs. Chen made a gesture of signing the contract and pressing her fingerprints, which hinted at Xing Wei that as long as Xing Wei is willing, she can also help sign the contract, don't worry. If she is afraid of retribution from the underworld, she would not be a professional businessman. Although Xue is a little girl who works hard for her family, she should be sympathized with, but she dares If you expose your wealth in front of outsiders and find a matchmaker to bring someone along, you should think about what you do, and you deserve it if you are kidnapped and sold.
Hearing the surname Xue, Xing Wei couldn't help but feel a little turbulent. This is Xue Baochai, who can easily spend 100 taels of silver to find someone to do things. Except for the wealthy Xue family, ordinary people really can't afford it. She is from a merchant. , it is reasonable to think of the prostitute to find shortcuts.
I just don't know why she was degraded to the capital, and she even directed a big trick of "only selling herself". What's the matter with me?Xing Wei turned her head to look at Daiyu. This Miss Xue is only two years older than Daiyu. She has already started to make suggestions for her family and herself, but she still ignorantly leans on the adults. She is really a young lady from a rich family. , born a good life?
"She's not clean, what's wrong with her?" Xing Wei thought to herself, the Wang family collapsed, the Wang family lost their lives, it's fine for Xue Baochai's father to survive, if Xue's father still dies, the Xue family's mother and son are the same as the original book, I'm afraid it's hard to be bullied by members of the Xue clan or some people who spy on his family's wealth.
Calculating Daiyu's age, it wasn't the time when Xue Baochai's father died. I just don't know, what she said was not clean, what did she cause, just to keep filial piety for Xue's father?
"I didn't want to say it at the beginning. If I didn't say she didn't explain it clearly, I wouldn't bring her here, so I told me." Chen's wife said to Xing Wei, "It's her father who died. My elder brother beat someone to death again, and I couldn't stay at home, so he and his mother brought a loyal servant to visit relatives, just like the second wife of your mansion, and she had nowhere to go, so she found the old woman and wanted to ask Mrs. Hou." Rongguo Mansion Everyone in the capital knows that Mrs. Chen went in and out of rich and noble families, and they even guessed about the hidden secrets. Thinking that the Marquis and his wife are so ruthless, they actually let them do evil. They would rather lose their titles than punish them with justice, and they would not get their hands dirty.
Ms. Xue's family was in trouble, and she had nowhere to go to find the second wife. She probably found out about Mrs. Hou's kindness, so she came to rely on her. However, Mrs. Chen didn't know what Miss Xue was thinking. The second and first rooms were already settled A deadly enemy, she is a relative of the second room, how could she think of asking the wife of the head of the eldest room for help, if she wants to find the young master of the second room, she should find a way.
Even Mrs. Chen, who has seen a lot, knows that the arms of the rich people are folded in the sleeves, and many lives lost inexplicably are not just servants. There is no shortage of hush money.It's the first time I've seen a family like the Rongguo Mansion. Other families are afraid of people knowing if they harm others, but this matter is not afraid of embarrassment, and they even make troubles all over the city.
In the beginning, she didn't dare to pick up cheap money from the Xue family for nothing, because she was afraid that she would not be favored by Mrs. Hou and offend the nobleman.
It's just that when Miss Xue mentioned that the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion was her relative, Mrs. Chen Ya changed her mind. If she wants to enter the Rongguo Mansion, instead of asking her to find someone else, it is better to take her there by herself, maybe she will sell it again, why not do it for money at both ends?
Xing Wei probably knew about Xue Baochai's situation, probably Xue Pan killed someone again, and it was probably not Zhen Yinglian, but who was the unlucky person, Xue Pan's uncle and aunt are now under the law, without the luck in the original book, "Slap your butt" and leave. Her mother and younger sister, who have been implicated, have come all the way to Beijing. They have nowhere to ask for help, but they are unwilling to give up their fate and come to the gate of Rongguo Mansion with luck.
Looking at her actions, she may have some "hard goods" in her hands. Thinking of the Xue family's "millions of wealth," Xing Wei sneered, Wang's probably cares, so she won't meddle in other people's business and hurt her family for money.
"Jin'er, you are the leader, you choose first." Xing Wei put aside Chen Mistress, turned her head and told Chen Jin, since she loves to fight so much, give me a chance to see how you look, will you be a human being?
Seeing that Xing Wei didn't talk about Mrs. Xue, Mrs. Chen would stand aside willingly and wait for orders. She had explained everything clearly anyway, and Madam Hou didn't care about her business. Only if Mrs. Xue was really rejected Outside the door, does she want to make some unexpected fortune?
Chen Jin didn't expect that her aunt would let her pick someone. She grew up so big, and only when she went to her uncle's house could she have girls and women to serve her, but those were all people from the Rongguo Mansion in name. This time, my aunt asked her to match her with a special , her own girl?
"Thank you, aunt. It's just that my family, my mother, and I..." Chen Jin wanted it very much, but knew how to twitch.
"Choose it, and be the dowry girl my aunt gave you in advance." At such a young age, Xing Wei talked about her marriage all day long, and Xing Wei didn't need the money to let Jia Mei talk about it, but Well, she bought this person today and bought it with money. In the future, her family will pay for the monthly payment, and they will get monthly silver for free, which is not bad.
Xing Wei thought secretly, but didn't say anything, and encouraged Chen Jin, "You choose first, don't delay your sister Daiyu and Jia Ai and the others to choose someone." If you are sensible, you should let the young one and the master.
But Chen Jin finally turned around, and didn't know how to send someone. She heard that Daiyu also had a share, and finally gritted her teeth and thanked Xing Wei: "Thank you, aunt." She turned around and went to pick someone.
Xing Wei and Mrs. Chen did not avoid the three girls when they talked about Xue Baochai, but also wanted to see their movements.When Chen Jin went out, he took a look at Baochai first, and murmured to himself, listening to the matchmaker and aunt, this girl seems to have some background, the key is that she seems to have a lot of money on her body.She gritted her teeth, finally walked to the right side, looked at each one, turned to Baochai, and stayed a few steps longer, Baochai's head was lowered to her chest, afraid of being picked away, Chen Jin stomped her feet secretly, She wanted to pick her, but she was afraid that it would be useless for her aunt to keep her. Now that she thinks about it, she regrets it. She should let Daiyu and Jia Ai pick someone first. If they pick someone else, she can naturally keep her. It's not for nothing that this girl took advantage of her.In a daze, Chen Jin randomly pointed at the two girls. She didn't dare to pick too much, but regretted that she forgot to ask how many people her aunt was going to send her.
Seeing that she pointed out the person, Xing Wei took a closer look, and found that they were all in good shape, among these girls, they were a little older and the best looking, of course, except for Xue Baochai. There is still some gap between the fair and temperamental Miss Xue.
I asked routinely how many people were still in the family and why they were sold out. One answered that the family had no parents and was sold by an uncle; the other answered that there were many brothers in the family and was sold by their parents.In peacetime, there are only a few kinds of people who sell their sons and daughters. Although it is not allowed to force good people to be cheap, this kind of voluntary selling is another matter. Relatively speaking, Xing Wei does not like that kind of servants. They know There are many, and they can share the worries for the master, but because they know too much, they will inevitably deceive the master. Once they are a little selfish and fool the master, it is difficult to find even a trace. Xing Wei chooses a dowry for her daughter Nanny, just like Hongyao and Xicui, doesn't need to be very smart, doesn't need to know a lot, just needs her to be faithful to the Lord and serve her alone.
Xing Wei waved Chen Jin to sit down, and the two girls immediately stood behind her with a wink. Chen Jin was proud, the two girls had a wink, and they already knew who their master was.
Xing Wei glanced at it, and didn't say much, people are not satisfied, no matter how much you say, it's useless, she told Mrs. Chen, "Bring over those who are homeless and willing to sign a death contract." Xing Wei likes to use such People, Mrs. Chen also knows, but there are few such people, so there are other girls as candidates. As long as they are not in important positions, Xing Wei will sometimes take care of her business, but there is no time to go back empty-handed.Mrs. Chen went out and yelled something, and seven or eight girls came in one after another.
"Why are there so many people this time?" Xing Wei was also puzzled. Although Mrs. Chen knew about her "paranoia", there were still not many such cases. Seven or eight little girls were homeless and tired. This is not a good phenomenon.
"There's a reason for this, let me tell you, ma'am," Chen Yapo said, "Isn't this a disaster in the south? Those who fled sold their sons and daughters, and this person ended up in my hands. There are also parents, but because they are willing to sign a death contract, isn't this the same as having no father and no mother?"
"Everyone is clean, don't be abducted"?This is an abominable war. One word from the superior will separate the children of the lower class. Xing Wei also understands the reason, and feels distressed when she thinks about it.
"Probably not. I've asked them all, and there are middlemen as guarantors. There is absolutely no problem with the origin." Madam Chen insisted that there is no problem. She has dealt with officials a lot, and she also knows these taboos. What she fears is that the origin is unknown. , turned around and got angry because of a few slaves. These girls are not only four or five years old, and they can't remember who their parents are and why they were betrayed.
"Well, look up and let me see." Xing Wei didn't let Daiyu and Jia Ai choose first by themselves. The children were still young, so she always had to choose the first time before letting them choose. What's more, this time she I plan to find a few more, pick the smart ones and send them to study medicine, and send them to my daughter in the future. This is necessary for the life of the housewife. How could she not prepare for her daughter?Daiyu has different meanings to her, and she will not be stingy with these girls, but it is just a matter of convenience, and it can also save a few lives by the way.
The eight girls stood together, raised their heads timidly, and Xing Wei looked over one by one, all of them were sallow and thin, with dark skin, but they looked like peasant girls, and asked them to stretch out their hands, pick up the nails and point to a few After coming out, the rest of them waved their hands to let them go down. Although the little girl looked disappointed, Xing Wei couldn't make everyone stay.
"Only these four." Chen Jin just picked two, and these four were given to Daiyu and Jia Ai, so that Jia Mei would not turn around and find trouble.
Also called Mother Chen, "Go and pick a few, some older ones should be married, and when they get married, there won't be enough people here."
Grandma Chen narrowed her eyes with a smile. Nowadays, there are many servants in rich families, but there are still a few officials who take care of her business. There are really few people like Xing Wei who are willing to use outsiders. Every time they come, they will pick a few.
"Mrs. Hou, what do you think about the Xue family outside?" Madam Hou obviously didn't intend to pay attention to the Xue family. Mother Chen also heard what she said just now, and asked her to go out to pick someone. How could she bring such a history? Unknown people come in?
"My family is not a philanthropic hall, and anyone who asks can answer her." Xing Wei can't do nothing about people's lives, and might reach out to help a passer-by who she doesn't know at all; , whether to help or not depends entirely on whether she is happy or not.
It can be said that the Xue family has been reduced to this point because of her, but even so, Xing Wei doesn't feel much guilt. If she lives well, she will be the one who is unlucky.What's more, the situation of the Xue family is self-inflicted. If the child is not raised well, it deserves to end like this.Regardless of whether it is the original book or this life, people are often killed, and they can't blame others. It is God's mercy that the two of them were not implicated and lost their lives.
Xing's 12-year-old is weak and able to raise her younger brother to keep the family property. In the original book, Xue Wang has sons and daughters, backers and backgrounds.
There is no shortage of weak people in this world, such as Lin Ruhai's mother and son. When Lin's father died, the Lin clan tried every means to plot against them, but Mrs. Lin was tough, so she still kept her son's family wealth?
It's just that the unpopular Jia Mei, before they found her, never confronted her tough mother-in-law. After being robbed of her belongings, she still didn't give up. She earned money for her son's education and wanted to raise her son to become a talent?
The members of the Xue family are certainly hateful, but if the Xue Wang family chooses to cooperate or simply give up after the death of their husband, perhaps they will not flee to the capital like a bereaved dog, and recite scriptures wherever they go. When the husband dies, he should educate his son in peace. Not used to him to kill.
This family is used to being big butt, and now they still don't give up. This Xue Baochai came here at a young age, so she is not afraid that she is a greedy and murderous person, taking the opportunity to take them in and take their belongings and then kill them?Or simply cooperate with the matchmaker, sign a contract for her, and sell herself?
Xing Wei thought this way, but Xue Baochai refused to respond like this. She saw that Madam Chen went out and picked out a few girls, but she was ignored by herself. She was afraid and anxious, afraid of being picked up and sold herself, Anxious that there is no chance to see the head wife.
Seeing that Nanny Chen took someone away and no one came to pick someone up, Xue Baochai felt cold in his heart, and secretly thought that Mrs. Chen must have sold herself out, and she couldn't blame her. She has no power and power, how could she let others Follow your orders?
"Ma'am, help." Xue Baochai had no choice but to throw herself forward, she was alone, her mother was still sick at the inn, and her brother was also in prison, all waiting for help.
"Fork it out." Now that she has decided, Xing Wei is not willing to feel pity, but since Wang Xue is Jia Zhu's aunt, they are destined to be enemies and cooperate?It's not as easy as dreaming.
Xue Baochai was covered and dragged all the way to the back street gate of Rongguo Mansion. She also struggled and resisted along the way, but as a child, how could she be against five seniors and three rough adults.
"Miss, how are you?" The people waiting outside the door saw Xue Baochai, hurried over to help her up, and patted the dust off her body distressedly.
"Mrs. Hou Ye refused to see me, and Mrs. Chen accepted my money and refused to help me." When Xue Baochai saw the old servant, she couldn't help but burst into tears, and only complained to him about the past.
"Oh, I can't blame anyone." The old servant persuaded her, "We have no relationship with the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion. According to the analysis of the rumors, the eldest son and the second wife are still enemies. It is a ghost that they are willing to help us. Earlier Advise my sister, but she won't listen, and now my sister can just give up, let's go back, my wife is still waiting at the inn, don't let her worry." The old servant originally disapproved of Xue Baochai's trip, especially Follow Mrs. Chen into the Rongguo Mansion, if the unscrupulous old woman sells the little sister as a servant, she will turn around and rescue her. This identity will also be flawed, and it will be difficult to be a human being in the future.
But his status was low, and my sister refused to listen to what he said, so I had to accompany my sister for a walk to make her die.
"Go back, what can I do if I go back?" Xue Baochai was also worried, not to mention rescuing his brother from prison. Good doctor, there is no way to save lives, she gave up everything to beg the Rongguo Mansion, and they are not the only ones who have a close relationship with her family.
Only Xue Baochai was not so easy to give in. She wiped away her tears, sobbed and said to her loyal servant, "Let's go wait for Cousin Jia Zhu." In Rongguo Mansion, the old servant originally suggested that she go directly to the young master Biao, but Xue Baochai felt that instead of looking for Jia Zhu, who was also incapable of being the master, it would be better to talk to the head wife of Rongguo Mansion directly, so this encounter happened. Not to mention wasting 100 taels of silver in vain, and was thrown out.
Xing Wei knew that Xue Baochai might not give up and would have another move, but she didn't expect to see her again so soon. However, this is inevitable, unless she stops her from seeing Jia Zhu, but why does she not let Jia Zhu Seeing her, perhaps, she also wants to know, will Jia Zhu lend a helping hand after knowing what happened to Xue's family?
Jia Zhu was very cold-hearted about Wang Xifeng, which not only chilled Xing Wei, but Wang Xifeng has not proposed to see this fiancé so far, probably hurting him too.
When the offender’s family was sold, Jia Zhu didn’t know whether he knew it or not. He never proposed or went to buy someone in private. Wang Shishi and his daughter were bought back by the Shi family. This was because they were afraid that they would make the girl in the family unable to marry. Save your reputation.
But the matter of Wang Xifeng being released by Enfang was only heard later. There was no movement before the incident. If Jia Zhu had the heart, he should have rescued people on that day. Entering Rongguo Mansion, renting a house outside and settling down is still not asking for help, not to mention that Wang Shi's mother and daughter are his aunt and cousin, this Wang Xifeng is still his fiancee.
I just don't know how this eldest son was moved with compassion, and why he suddenly interceded for the mother and daughter of Aunt Xue.
"You don't ask for help easily, since you opened your mouth, I can't say no," Xing Wei said to Jia Zhu indifferently; "They are relatives of your second room, since you agree, let them stay in the inner courtyard. "Jia Zhu and Baoyu still live in Jia Zheng's original courtyard, which is where Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian live in the original book. No matter how big or small, it is enough for Jia Zhu's brothers and Xue's mother and daughter to live together.
There are two meanings to arranging them together. One is that they are too lazy to worry about their affairs. For someone like Jia Zhu who has no heart, if he grows up and doesn't bite back, it means they will burn incense and accumulate virtue. Who would expect him to repay his kindness?Xue's mother and daughter must have promised Jia Zhu some benefits, otherwise he would be moved with compassion?Xing Wei didn't want to take this muddy water, and arranged them together because she couldn't see it.
Xing Wei, like Mrs. Chen, absolutely does not believe that Xue Baochai, who can take out 100 taels of silver notes, has no other silver taels. Jia Zhu will not agree to her aunt and cousin's help so easily. Wei didn't want to take care of it, anyway, she wouldn't just sit back and watch them harm her family. Perhaps, allowing the Xue family's mother and daughter to live here could help him take some burden off?
Xue's mother and daughter stayed in Rongguo Mansion in this way, and the servants came to ask for instructions on their monthly schedule. Xing Wei said indifferently: "They are not relatives of my first wife, so why don't I come to develop the monthly schedule?" This time I agreed like this, although it was to give Jia Zhu face, but I had to give him a warning, the Rongguo Mansion would not allow him to make decisions at will.Xue's family is probably not short of money, and they are not short of her money for the past few months. They also want to tell them that this Rongguo Mansion does not belong to her family, so they are not allowed to be presumptuous.
A day later, the people below came to spread the word, saying that Xue Baochai wanted to go to the Jia Clan School to take classes, and wanted to come to ask Xing Wei to agree, and said that he paid Shuxiu himself, and it didn't bother anyone much.Don't bother me, you live outside, what are you doing in Rongguo Mansion so hard?Since no one is begging you, Xing Wei slandered in her heart, and nodded in agreement. Anyway, she is willing to pay money, so let's think of it as learning a lot for her family.
"How much money do you charge?" The students accepted by the family school are all girls from the clan. Because the original intention of the school was to support the poor, they did not collect money from their families. Later, children from relatives came to the school. Only some fees are charged as appropriate to supplement the extra money for the teachers, because the relatives who are attached to the school have different levels of wealth and income, and the teachers don't care about this because they are well paid.
Xue Baochai wanted to enter school, so there was no ready-made example to follow, so he asked this question.
Xing Wei frowned, "How much is the annual fee for one person in our girls' school?" The girls in the clan are not only exempted from training, but also have two sets of clothes and a small amount of jewelry every season. A good future, these things alone are enough for the poor families to send their daughters to school.
"Not counting the bundle repairs for the teacher, the single clothes and jewelry cost between 50 and [-] taels per person per year."
"Then 50 taels." The Xue family did not lack money, so they moved in. The additions were the medicines prescribed by the imperial physician for Aunt Xue, which were full of expensive medicines. Conscious of not revealing her wealth, Xing Wei is glad that she pushed Xue's mother and daughter to Jia Zhu, otherwise, with the speed at which they spend money, it won't take long for her to have a reputation of being greedy for other people's wealth.
In just three days, the school reported back news, "This girl from the Xue family is really a character, not to mention she is exquisite, and she is really willing to give up money, but in two or three days, the girl who said good things about her in the school just It takes up half of it." Even when Jia Ai came back, she said, "It's lucky to have Sister Daiyu, otherwise we would all be suppressed by her." Because of concern for the face of the girls of the tribe, Jia Ai and the decent little girl from Ningguo Mansion The sisters have always been low-key people, they are less in the limelight in school.This Daiyu is not always pushy, but she can't suppress her talent after all. Not long after she went to school, she won the favor of her masters, and each of them tried their best to give her a small stove, hoping to cultivate a "female champion". Come.This Xue Baochai has only been in school for three days, not to mention scattered silver and copper plates all over the school, even when it comes to studying, she tries her best to get rid of Daiyu, which makes Jia Ai very unhappy, so she comes back to complain to Xing Wei.
"Don't pay attention to her, you might have a chance to see what this ignorant person is like." That's the reason for letting them study to gain knowledge. They are either clansmen or relatives, and there are very few such people." "An outsider" joined, but he was still unwilling to lower his figure, which would disrupt the order in the school and make people unable to adapt for a while.
Daiyu blinked her eyes, she realized what her aunt said, and the meaning of the masters was roughly the same; "Just watch it coldly, just be yourself."
"Then how does Wang Xifeng treat this Xue Baochai?" Xing Wei is curious about the relationship between Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai. After all, they are cousins, but Jia Zhu's relationship with this fiancée and cousin is quite different, especially now that Xue Baochai lives in Jiazhu In the yard, although Wang Xifeng lived not far away, Jia Zhu had never asked anyone to bring her anything for a while, just like there was no such person, Wang Xifeng was also very honest and at ease, and lived in the school with peace of mind, probably She didn't study in the past, but now she holds the book and doesn't let it go, and she has a very diligent look. Teacher Ke who stayed in the school was flattering and shouted "Amitabha", and she was almost accepted as a goddaughter.
"I don't pay much attention to her." Although Wang Xifeng relied on Jia Zhujin's Rongguo Mansion's family to study, but she is exquisite and does not offend others. She is a little older, and she is like a big sister in school. As long as she can help, she He will extend a helping hand, and he is very good at reading people's eyes, knowing the depth, so he doesn't easily approach Daiyu, Jia Ai, and the young sister of Ningguo Mansion. Boring, this is the real investment in advance, it is comprehensive and will be eye-catching.
It is precisely because of this that Mr. Na Ke loves her more and more. He only said that good luck tricks people, which is a pity for this child's future.
In the original book, Wang Xifeng is such a well-rounded person. In this life, she has experienced family changes and prison disasters. She has a calm personality and knows how to measure. I wonder if this is a good change for her?
"Look at how they behave, and I ask you to go to school, not just for your study and progress, but also for you to learn how to communicate with people, distinguish people's hearts, and learn from others' strengths to make up for your own shortcomings." Xing Wei confessed Daughter and Daiyu. "What does Chen Jin think of Xue Baochai's admission?"
"She is so sour, but she also surrounds Xue Baochai and refuses to let go of her airs to take the silver in her hand." Jia Ai followed Chen Jin's appearance, making Xing Wei and Daiyu laugh straight away. This Chen Jin is also funny, thinking of Baochai. With the silver in his hand, he felt that he was superior to Baochai, and looked down on Baochai's identity, so he made a group of classmates laugh at him without knowing it.
"Let's see again, maybe they will be able to get together soon."Xue Baochai sprinkled money all over the place, just to open the gap and blend in with the crowd. There are eggs with seams ready-made, so it is not uncommon for Chen Jin and her to get together sooner or later.Xing Wei didn't intend to stop it either, this is fate, the fate they chose, no one else's fault.
Sure enough, after a while, it was said that Xue Baochai and Chen Jin were inseparable, and Chen Jin also had a lot of new things, such as beautiful handkerchiefs, bright pearl flowers... they are not very valuable, but they are also refurbished in endless ways.
Xue's mother and daughter lived in Rongguo Mansion, and they brought two loyal servants to live in with them. Because Jia Zhu also had servants around him, and there were also places where he lived, so it was not too troublesome to arrive.These two people are not under the control of the Rongguo Mansion, and Xing Wei has no freedom to prohibit them, but he is not worried that they will bring disaster to the Rongguo Mansion, and looking for someone to watch their whereabouts is also monitoring the movements of Xue's mother and daughter from the side. Xing Wei didn't believe that Xue's mother and daughter would put Xue Pan in prison to wait for death, but they should know their attitude and didn't come to ask them to save him, so Xing Wei also pretended not to know.
On the surface, the pair of loyal servants seemed honest, they only went to buy some daily necessities for the masters, grabbing medicine and so on. Xue's mother and daughter were able to set up camp in the Rongguo Mansion, and gradually gained the favor of the servants, and they were inseparable from them. .
Xing Wei still ignored it, because foxes always want to show their tails, and it is impossible for the mother and daughter of the Xue family to live in Rongguo Mansion for a lifetime, and in her opinion, if possible, Wang Xifeng might find a chance to marry Jia Zhu. , Jia Zhu's marriage is in trouble.I don't know whether it is Shaohuigen himself or Jia Zheng's previous teachings that have shaped him. He is not as talented in reading as Baoyu, and this person is lonely and widowed. Trouble, in Xing Wei's opinion, it would be a good thing for Xue Baochai, who is so slick, to match him.
Wang Xifeng treated the Xing family badly in the original book, but here she did not offend Xing Wei. On the contrary, her performance in school was quite in Xing Wei's heart. This is the performance of a smart girl.
On the contrary, the older Jia Zhu was, the more he resembled Jia Zheng, which made her despise him.If Wang Xifeng had the guts to propose a husband change, Xing Wei would not intervene deliberately, and would be considerate of her heart. Such a person would not want to marry his own daughter, let alone someone else's daughter.
As for Xue Baochai, she asked for it herself. Jia Zhu also seemed to avoid their contact with her. Ever since the mother and daughter moved into the Rongguo Mansion, they politely expressed their gratitude to themselves, but they were rejected. , instead of throwing money everywhere to show their existence, Xing Wei is very disgusted with this kind of person, and has no idea of being a guest, so she doesn't care if she is married to someone who is not.
Xing Wei would not jump out and say that cousins and cousins are not suitable for marriage. In this era, there are many close relatives, and they also have children and carry on the family line. Although there are also deaths or disabilities, the mortality rate of infants and young children is high in this age. In the era of frequent outbreaks, this problem is not obvious at all, and no one will believe you when you tell the reason.
Although Xue Baochai was younger than Jia Zhu, if Jia Zhu had the heart, he would naturally be willing to wait. Judging from his attitude towards Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai, he also knew that he was not careless.
Don't say anything about Xue Baochai's refusal, her current status is not as good as Jia Zhu's. At least, Jia Zhu still lives in Rongguo Mansion and is taken care of by her uncle, but her Xue family is about to fall and come to join Jia Zhu, and there is a murderer Brother, I will worry about finding a suitable in-law's family in the future.Sure enough, not long after, Jia Zhu came to look for Xing Wei. He didn't come to the door easily and didn't speak. Last time it was for Xue's mother and daughter, but this time it was still to help them open a shop: "Auntie has some money by her side. But I didn't want to sit and eat, so I thought about taking some money to open a shop, but it's not convenient for their women to go out, so I thought it would be more convenient to hang it under my name first."
"Think about it, once this shop is written in your name, you will lose your share in the imperial examination." Although the Holy One collected a lot of taxes from the merchants, he still didn't improve the status of the merchants much. For the imperial examination, once this Jia Zhu has a shop, he will automatically give up the scientific examination and become a "pariah". It is not only himself who affects him, but also his children.
"This?" Jia Zhu hesitated. The matter was so important that he really didn't think carefully.
"Write it under the name of your big brother Li." Xing Wei said: "You'd better get a job. If you don't have a job, not only you, but also the children will have a hard time in the future." Xing Wei won't just sit and watch him In order to make a fool of themselves, the husband and wife are now the guardians of Jiazhu and Baoyu. They have made a big mistake, and they are the ones who are blamed by outsiders.
"Yes," Jia Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that his aunt would not agree, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and he even gave him comprehensive advice.
"Are you looking forward to the shop? What kind of goods are you going to sell?" Xing Wei asked casually, also wanting to know who is planning to win, Jia Zhu and Xue Baochai. Taking advantage of others, Xue came up with this idea because he was afraid that he would not be able to keep his family, so he looked for a backer, just looking at this mutual calculation, he knew that they were really a family.
"This nephew hasn't asked yet, it's all the servants of my aunt's family who are taking care of it."
"No, that's the one, the one on the far left." Probably because she was afraid of being picked as a slave, the girl hid on the far side, and she was afraid that people would not see her, so she just picked a position on the left and stood there. Observe the movement in this hall from Renfengli.
Even though she was dressed poorly, she kept her neck down as much as possible, but when she looked at her standing posture and her demeanor, she was different from that group of bewildered village girls. She was not a person on the same level, but a smart girl. , It's just that she was too careful, her intelligence was exposed, not to mention that her identity was suspicious, even if she had nothing to do with it, Xing Wei would not buy such a girl for her daughter.
"Did she tell you where she came from, and how much money she gave you, which made you feel compassionate?" Xing Wei asked with a smile. Mrs. Chen is also considered a smart person. Xing Wei didn't mean to hinder people from making money, but she didn't believe that she brought people in without asking clearly, so just ask and see.Mrs. Chen is honest and not honest
"I gave you 100 taels," Mrs. Chen raised her finger and clicked her tongue. If it weren't for the fact that there were two loyal servants beside this little girl, she would really have thought about abducting her. Those 100 taels of silver, those who buy and sell people, who doesn't have a few dead ghosts in their hands?
Mrs. Chen sold what she knew to Xing Wei in just a moment. After all, the 100 taels was considered a windfall, and the little girl came for Mrs. Hou. She didn't make it clear how to deal with her in the future. She is a regular customer who can save her life and make money: "She said that her surname is Xue, and she has some relatives in the Hou's house by beating around the bush. Because she is a little dirty, she is afraid that she will not be welcomed by the house if she comes to the door rashly, so she went to the old man's place. , I gave Laosang 100 taels and asked Laoshen to bring her in. Laoshen was not willing at first, but she made it clear that her family was originally relatives with the second-bedroom wife’s family in your house, and she could tell how old the second-bedroom wife was in your house. The name of a young master and sister, the old man saw that she looked like a big sister, and saw that there were two old servants serving her, thinking that it might be true, and then thinking that since she had asked the old man so hard I'm afraid I know something about the Rongguo Mansion. Even if I don't bring her here today, I'm afraid I'll have to find another opportunity later. It's not good to make it known to everyone, so I will take her rashly. She came to show Madam Hou, I don't know if you have any instructions?" Mrs. Chen made a gesture of signing the contract and pressing her fingerprints, which hinted at Xing Wei that as long as Xing Wei is willing, she can also help sign the contract, don't worry. If she is afraid of retribution from the underworld, she would not be a professional businessman. Although Xue is a little girl who works hard for her family, she should be sympathized with, but she dares If you expose your wealth in front of outsiders and find a matchmaker to bring someone along, you should think about what you do, and you deserve it if you are kidnapped and sold.
Hearing the surname Xue, Xing Wei couldn't help but feel a little turbulent. This is Xue Baochai, who can easily spend 100 taels of silver to find someone to do things. Except for the wealthy Xue family, ordinary people really can't afford it. She is from a merchant. , it is reasonable to think of the prostitute to find shortcuts.
I just don't know why she was degraded to the capital, and she even directed a big trick of "only selling herself". What's the matter with me?Xing Wei turned her head to look at Daiyu. This Miss Xue is only two years older than Daiyu. She has already started to make suggestions for her family and herself, but she still ignorantly leans on the adults. She is really a young lady from a rich family. , born a good life?
"She's not clean, what's wrong with her?" Xing Wei thought to herself, the Wang family collapsed, the Wang family lost their lives, it's fine for Xue Baochai's father to survive, if Xue's father still dies, the Xue family's mother and son are the same as the original book, I'm afraid it's hard to be bullied by members of the Xue clan or some people who spy on his family's wealth.
Calculating Daiyu's age, it wasn't the time when Xue Baochai's father died. I just don't know, what she said was not clean, what did she cause, just to keep filial piety for Xue's father?
"I didn't want to say it at the beginning. If I didn't say she didn't explain it clearly, I wouldn't bring her here, so I told me." Chen's wife said to Xing Wei, "It's her father who died. My elder brother beat someone to death again, and I couldn't stay at home, so he and his mother brought a loyal servant to visit relatives, just like the second wife of your mansion, and she had nowhere to go, so she found the old woman and wanted to ask Mrs. Hou." Rongguo Mansion Everyone in the capital knows that Mrs. Chen went in and out of rich and noble families, and they even guessed about the hidden secrets. Thinking that the Marquis and his wife are so ruthless, they actually let them do evil. They would rather lose their titles than punish them with justice, and they would not get their hands dirty.
Ms. Xue's family was in trouble, and she had nowhere to go to find the second wife. She probably found out about Mrs. Hou's kindness, so she came to rely on her. However, Mrs. Chen didn't know what Miss Xue was thinking. The second and first rooms were already settled A deadly enemy, she is a relative of the second room, how could she think of asking the wife of the head of the eldest room for help, if she wants to find the young master of the second room, she should find a way.
Even Mrs. Chen, who has seen a lot, knows that the arms of the rich people are folded in the sleeves, and many lives lost inexplicably are not just servants. There is no shortage of hush money.It's the first time I've seen a family like the Rongguo Mansion. Other families are afraid of people knowing if they harm others, but this matter is not afraid of embarrassment, and they even make troubles all over the city.
In the beginning, she didn't dare to pick up cheap money from the Xue family for nothing, because she was afraid that she would not be favored by Mrs. Hou and offend the nobleman.
It's just that when Miss Xue mentioned that the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion was her relative, Mrs. Chen Ya changed her mind. If she wants to enter the Rongguo Mansion, instead of asking her to find someone else, it is better to take her there by herself, maybe she will sell it again, why not do it for money at both ends?
Xing Wei probably knew about Xue Baochai's situation, probably Xue Pan killed someone again, and it was probably not Zhen Yinglian, but who was the unlucky person, Xue Pan's uncle and aunt are now under the law, without the luck in the original book, "Slap your butt" and leave. Her mother and younger sister, who have been implicated, have come all the way to Beijing. They have nowhere to ask for help, but they are unwilling to give up their fate and come to the gate of Rongguo Mansion with luck.
Looking at her actions, she may have some "hard goods" in her hands. Thinking of the Xue family's "millions of wealth," Xing Wei sneered, Wang's probably cares, so she won't meddle in other people's business and hurt her family for money.
"Jin'er, you are the leader, you choose first." Xing Wei put aside Chen Mistress, turned her head and told Chen Jin, since she loves to fight so much, give me a chance to see how you look, will you be a human being?
Seeing that Xing Wei didn't talk about Mrs. Xue, Mrs. Chen would stand aside willingly and wait for orders. She had explained everything clearly anyway, and Madam Hou didn't care about her business. Only if Mrs. Xue was really rejected Outside the door, does she want to make some unexpected fortune?
Chen Jin didn't expect that her aunt would let her pick someone. She grew up so big, and only when she went to her uncle's house could she have girls and women to serve her, but those were all people from the Rongguo Mansion in name. This time, my aunt asked her to match her with a special , her own girl?
"Thank you, aunt. It's just that my family, my mother, and I..." Chen Jin wanted it very much, but knew how to twitch.
"Choose it, and be the dowry girl my aunt gave you in advance." At such a young age, Xing Wei talked about her marriage all day long, and Xing Wei didn't need the money to let Jia Mei talk about it, but Well, she bought this person today and bought it with money. In the future, her family will pay for the monthly payment, and they will get monthly silver for free, which is not bad.
Xing Wei thought secretly, but didn't say anything, and encouraged Chen Jin, "You choose first, don't delay your sister Daiyu and Jia Ai and the others to choose someone." If you are sensible, you should let the young one and the master.
But Chen Jin finally turned around, and didn't know how to send someone. She heard that Daiyu also had a share, and finally gritted her teeth and thanked Xing Wei: "Thank you, aunt." She turned around and went to pick someone.
Xing Wei and Mrs. Chen did not avoid the three girls when they talked about Xue Baochai, but also wanted to see their movements.When Chen Jin went out, he took a look at Baochai first, and murmured to himself, listening to the matchmaker and aunt, this girl seems to have some background, the key is that she seems to have a lot of money on her body.She gritted her teeth, finally walked to the right side, looked at each one, turned to Baochai, and stayed a few steps longer, Baochai's head was lowered to her chest, afraid of being picked away, Chen Jin stomped her feet secretly, She wanted to pick her, but she was afraid that it would be useless for her aunt to keep her. Now that she thinks about it, she regrets it. She should let Daiyu and Jia Ai pick someone first. If they pick someone else, she can naturally keep her. It's not for nothing that this girl took advantage of her.In a daze, Chen Jin randomly pointed at the two girls. She didn't dare to pick too much, but regretted that she forgot to ask how many people her aunt was going to send her.
Seeing that she pointed out the person, Xing Wei took a closer look, and found that they were all in good shape, among these girls, they were a little older and the best looking, of course, except for Xue Baochai. There is still some gap between the fair and temperamental Miss Xue.
I asked routinely how many people were still in the family and why they were sold out. One answered that the family had no parents and was sold by an uncle; the other answered that there were many brothers in the family and was sold by their parents.In peacetime, there are only a few kinds of people who sell their sons and daughters. Although it is not allowed to force good people to be cheap, this kind of voluntary selling is another matter. Relatively speaking, Xing Wei does not like that kind of servants. They know There are many, and they can share the worries for the master, but because they know too much, they will inevitably deceive the master. Once they are a little selfish and fool the master, it is difficult to find even a trace. Xing Wei chooses a dowry for her daughter Nanny, just like Hongyao and Xicui, doesn't need to be very smart, doesn't need to know a lot, just needs her to be faithful to the Lord and serve her alone.
Xing Wei waved Chen Jin to sit down, and the two girls immediately stood behind her with a wink. Chen Jin was proud, the two girls had a wink, and they already knew who their master was.
Xing Wei glanced at it, and didn't say much, people are not satisfied, no matter how much you say, it's useless, she told Mrs. Chen, "Bring over those who are homeless and willing to sign a death contract." Xing Wei likes to use such People, Mrs. Chen also knows, but there are few such people, so there are other girls as candidates. As long as they are not in important positions, Xing Wei will sometimes take care of her business, but there is no time to go back empty-handed.Mrs. Chen went out and yelled something, and seven or eight girls came in one after another.
"Why are there so many people this time?" Xing Wei was also puzzled. Although Mrs. Chen knew about her "paranoia", there were still not many such cases. Seven or eight little girls were homeless and tired. This is not a good phenomenon.
"There's a reason for this, let me tell you, ma'am," Chen Yapo said, "Isn't this a disaster in the south? Those who fled sold their sons and daughters, and this person ended up in my hands. There are also parents, but because they are willing to sign a death contract, isn't this the same as having no father and no mother?"
"Everyone is clean, don't be abducted"?This is an abominable war. One word from the superior will separate the children of the lower class. Xing Wei also understands the reason, and feels distressed when she thinks about it.
"Probably not. I've asked them all, and there are middlemen as guarantors. There is absolutely no problem with the origin." Madam Chen insisted that there is no problem. She has dealt with officials a lot, and she also knows these taboos. What she fears is that the origin is unknown. , turned around and got angry because of a few slaves. These girls are not only four or five years old, and they can't remember who their parents are and why they were betrayed.
"Well, look up and let me see." Xing Wei didn't let Daiyu and Jia Ai choose first by themselves. The children were still young, so she always had to choose the first time before letting them choose. What's more, this time she I plan to find a few more, pick the smart ones and send them to study medicine, and send them to my daughter in the future. This is necessary for the life of the housewife. How could she not prepare for her daughter?Daiyu has different meanings to her, and she will not be stingy with these girls, but it is just a matter of convenience, and it can also save a few lives by the way.
The eight girls stood together, raised their heads timidly, and Xing Wei looked over one by one, all of them were sallow and thin, with dark skin, but they looked like peasant girls, and asked them to stretch out their hands, pick up the nails and point to a few After coming out, the rest of them waved their hands to let them go down. Although the little girl looked disappointed, Xing Wei couldn't make everyone stay.
"Only these four." Chen Jin just picked two, and these four were given to Daiyu and Jia Ai, so that Jia Mei would not turn around and find trouble.
Also called Mother Chen, "Go and pick a few, some older ones should be married, and when they get married, there won't be enough people here."
Grandma Chen narrowed her eyes with a smile. Nowadays, there are many servants in rich families, but there are still a few officials who take care of her business. There are really few people like Xing Wei who are willing to use outsiders. Every time they come, they will pick a few.
"Mrs. Hou, what do you think about the Xue family outside?" Madam Hou obviously didn't intend to pay attention to the Xue family. Mother Chen also heard what she said just now, and asked her to go out to pick someone. How could she bring such a history? Unknown people come in?
"My family is not a philanthropic hall, and anyone who asks can answer her." Xing Wei can't do nothing about people's lives, and might reach out to help a passer-by who she doesn't know at all; , whether to help or not depends entirely on whether she is happy or not.
It can be said that the Xue family has been reduced to this point because of her, but even so, Xing Wei doesn't feel much guilt. If she lives well, she will be the one who is unlucky.What's more, the situation of the Xue family is self-inflicted. If the child is not raised well, it deserves to end like this.Regardless of whether it is the original book or this life, people are often killed, and they can't blame others. It is God's mercy that the two of them were not implicated and lost their lives.
Xing's 12-year-old is weak and able to raise her younger brother to keep the family property. In the original book, Xue Wang has sons and daughters, backers and backgrounds.
There is no shortage of weak people in this world, such as Lin Ruhai's mother and son. When Lin's father died, the Lin clan tried every means to plot against them, but Mrs. Lin was tough, so she still kept her son's family wealth?
It's just that the unpopular Jia Mei, before they found her, never confronted her tough mother-in-law. After being robbed of her belongings, she still didn't give up. She earned money for her son's education and wanted to raise her son to become a talent?
The members of the Xue family are certainly hateful, but if the Xue Wang family chooses to cooperate or simply give up after the death of their husband, perhaps they will not flee to the capital like a bereaved dog, and recite scriptures wherever they go. When the husband dies, he should educate his son in peace. Not used to him to kill.
This family is used to being big butt, and now they still don't give up. This Xue Baochai came here at a young age, so she is not afraid that she is a greedy and murderous person, taking the opportunity to take them in and take their belongings and then kill them?Or simply cooperate with the matchmaker, sign a contract for her, and sell herself?
Xing Wei thought this way, but Xue Baochai refused to respond like this. She saw that Madam Chen went out and picked out a few girls, but she was ignored by herself. She was afraid and anxious, afraid of being picked up and sold herself, Anxious that there is no chance to see the head wife.
Seeing that Nanny Chen took someone away and no one came to pick someone up, Xue Baochai felt cold in his heart, and secretly thought that Mrs. Chen must have sold herself out, and she couldn't blame her. She has no power and power, how could she let others Follow your orders?
"Ma'am, help." Xue Baochai had no choice but to throw herself forward, she was alone, her mother was still sick at the inn, and her brother was also in prison, all waiting for help.
"Fork it out." Now that she has decided, Xing Wei is not willing to feel pity, but since Wang Xue is Jia Zhu's aunt, they are destined to be enemies and cooperate?It's not as easy as dreaming.
Xue Baochai was covered and dragged all the way to the back street gate of Rongguo Mansion. She also struggled and resisted along the way, but as a child, how could she be against five seniors and three rough adults.
"Miss, how are you?" The people waiting outside the door saw Xue Baochai, hurried over to help her up, and patted the dust off her body distressedly.
"Mrs. Hou Ye refused to see me, and Mrs. Chen accepted my money and refused to help me." When Xue Baochai saw the old servant, she couldn't help but burst into tears, and only complained to him about the past.
"Oh, I can't blame anyone." The old servant persuaded her, "We have no relationship with the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion. According to the analysis of the rumors, the eldest son and the second wife are still enemies. It is a ghost that they are willing to help us. Earlier Advise my sister, but she won't listen, and now my sister can just give up, let's go back, my wife is still waiting at the inn, don't let her worry." The old servant originally disapproved of Xue Baochai's trip, especially Follow Mrs. Chen into the Rongguo Mansion, if the unscrupulous old woman sells the little sister as a servant, she will turn around and rescue her. This identity will also be flawed, and it will be difficult to be a human being in the future.
But his status was low, and my sister refused to listen to what he said, so I had to accompany my sister for a walk to make her die.
"Go back, what can I do if I go back?" Xue Baochai was also worried, not to mention rescuing his brother from prison. Good doctor, there is no way to save lives, she gave up everything to beg the Rongguo Mansion, and they are not the only ones who have a close relationship with her family.
Only Xue Baochai was not so easy to give in. She wiped away her tears, sobbed and said to her loyal servant, "Let's go wait for Cousin Jia Zhu." In Rongguo Mansion, the old servant originally suggested that she go directly to the young master Biao, but Xue Baochai felt that instead of looking for Jia Zhu, who was also incapable of being the master, it would be better to talk to the head wife of Rongguo Mansion directly, so this encounter happened. Not to mention wasting 100 taels of silver in vain, and was thrown out.
Xing Wei knew that Xue Baochai might not give up and would have another move, but she didn't expect to see her again so soon. However, this is inevitable, unless she stops her from seeing Jia Zhu, but why does she not let Jia Zhu Seeing her, perhaps, she also wants to know, will Jia Zhu lend a helping hand after knowing what happened to Xue's family?
Jia Zhu was very cold-hearted about Wang Xifeng, which not only chilled Xing Wei, but Wang Xifeng has not proposed to see this fiancé so far, probably hurting him too.
When the offender’s family was sold, Jia Zhu didn’t know whether he knew it or not. He never proposed or went to buy someone in private. Wang Shishi and his daughter were bought back by the Shi family. This was because they were afraid that they would make the girl in the family unable to marry. Save your reputation.
But the matter of Wang Xifeng being released by Enfang was only heard later. There was no movement before the incident. If Jia Zhu had the heart, he should have rescued people on that day. Entering Rongguo Mansion, renting a house outside and settling down is still not asking for help, not to mention that Wang Shi's mother and daughter are his aunt and cousin, this Wang Xifeng is still his fiancee.
I just don't know how this eldest son was moved with compassion, and why he suddenly interceded for the mother and daughter of Aunt Xue.
"You don't ask for help easily, since you opened your mouth, I can't say no," Xing Wei said to Jia Zhu indifferently; "They are relatives of your second room, since you agree, let them stay in the inner courtyard. "Jia Zhu and Baoyu still live in Jia Zheng's original courtyard, which is where Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian live in the original book. No matter how big or small, it is enough for Jia Zhu's brothers and Xue's mother and daughter to live together.
There are two meanings to arranging them together. One is that they are too lazy to worry about their affairs. For someone like Jia Zhu who has no heart, if he grows up and doesn't bite back, it means they will burn incense and accumulate virtue. Who would expect him to repay his kindness?Xue's mother and daughter must have promised Jia Zhu some benefits, otherwise he would be moved with compassion?Xing Wei didn't want to take this muddy water, and arranged them together because she couldn't see it.
Xing Wei, like Mrs. Chen, absolutely does not believe that Xue Baochai, who can take out 100 taels of silver notes, has no other silver taels. Jia Zhu will not agree to her aunt and cousin's help so easily. Wei didn't want to take care of it, anyway, she wouldn't just sit back and watch them harm her family. Perhaps, allowing the Xue family's mother and daughter to live here could help him take some burden off?
Xue's mother and daughter stayed in Rongguo Mansion in this way, and the servants came to ask for instructions on their monthly schedule. Xing Wei said indifferently: "They are not relatives of my first wife, so why don't I come to develop the monthly schedule?" This time I agreed like this, although it was to give Jia Zhu face, but I had to give him a warning, the Rongguo Mansion would not allow him to make decisions at will.Xue's family is probably not short of money, and they are not short of her money for the past few months. They also want to tell them that this Rongguo Mansion does not belong to her family, so they are not allowed to be presumptuous.
A day later, the people below came to spread the word, saying that Xue Baochai wanted to go to the Jia Clan School to take classes, and wanted to come to ask Xing Wei to agree, and said that he paid Shuxiu himself, and it didn't bother anyone much.Don't bother me, you live outside, what are you doing in Rongguo Mansion so hard?Since no one is begging you, Xing Wei slandered in her heart, and nodded in agreement. Anyway, she is willing to pay money, so let's think of it as learning a lot for her family.
"How much money do you charge?" The students accepted by the family school are all girls from the clan. Because the original intention of the school was to support the poor, they did not collect money from their families. Later, children from relatives came to the school. Only some fees are charged as appropriate to supplement the extra money for the teachers, because the relatives who are attached to the school have different levels of wealth and income, and the teachers don't care about this because they are well paid.
Xue Baochai wanted to enter school, so there was no ready-made example to follow, so he asked this question.
Xing Wei frowned, "How much is the annual fee for one person in our girls' school?" The girls in the clan are not only exempted from training, but also have two sets of clothes and a small amount of jewelry every season. A good future, these things alone are enough for the poor families to send their daughters to school.
"Not counting the bundle repairs for the teacher, the single clothes and jewelry cost between 50 and [-] taels per person per year."
"Then 50 taels." The Xue family did not lack money, so they moved in. The additions were the medicines prescribed by the imperial physician for Aunt Xue, which were full of expensive medicines. Conscious of not revealing her wealth, Xing Wei is glad that she pushed Xue's mother and daughter to Jia Zhu, otherwise, with the speed at which they spend money, it won't take long for her to have a reputation of being greedy for other people's wealth.
In just three days, the school reported back news, "This girl from the Xue family is really a character, not to mention she is exquisite, and she is really willing to give up money, but in two or three days, the girl who said good things about her in the school just It takes up half of it." Even when Jia Ai came back, she said, "It's lucky to have Sister Daiyu, otherwise we would all be suppressed by her." Because of concern for the face of the girls of the tribe, Jia Ai and the decent little girl from Ningguo Mansion The sisters have always been low-key people, they are less in the limelight in school.This Daiyu is not always pushy, but she can't suppress her talent after all. Not long after she went to school, she won the favor of her masters, and each of them tried their best to give her a small stove, hoping to cultivate a "female champion". Come.This Xue Baochai has only been in school for three days, not to mention scattered silver and copper plates all over the school, even when it comes to studying, she tries her best to get rid of Daiyu, which makes Jia Ai very unhappy, so she comes back to complain to Xing Wei.
"Don't pay attention to her, you might have a chance to see what this ignorant person is like." That's the reason for letting them study to gain knowledge. They are either clansmen or relatives, and there are very few such people." "An outsider" joined, but he was still unwilling to lower his figure, which would disrupt the order in the school and make people unable to adapt for a while.
Daiyu blinked her eyes, she realized what her aunt said, and the meaning of the masters was roughly the same; "Just watch it coldly, just be yourself."
"Then how does Wang Xifeng treat this Xue Baochai?" Xing Wei is curious about the relationship between Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai. After all, they are cousins, but Jia Zhu's relationship with this fiancée and cousin is quite different, especially now that Xue Baochai lives in Jiazhu In the yard, although Wang Xifeng lived not far away, Jia Zhu had never asked anyone to bring her anything for a while, just like there was no such person, Wang Xifeng was also very honest and at ease, and lived in the school with peace of mind, probably She didn't study in the past, but now she holds the book and doesn't let it go, and she has a very diligent look. Teacher Ke who stayed in the school was flattering and shouted "Amitabha", and she was almost accepted as a goddaughter.
"I don't pay much attention to her." Although Wang Xifeng relied on Jia Zhujin's Rongguo Mansion's family to study, but she is exquisite and does not offend others. She is a little older, and she is like a big sister in school. As long as she can help, she He will extend a helping hand, and he is very good at reading people's eyes, knowing the depth, so he doesn't easily approach Daiyu, Jia Ai, and the young sister of Ningguo Mansion. Boring, this is the real investment in advance, it is comprehensive and will be eye-catching.
It is precisely because of this that Mr. Na Ke loves her more and more. He only said that good luck tricks people, which is a pity for this child's future.
In the original book, Wang Xifeng is such a well-rounded person. In this life, she has experienced family changes and prison disasters. She has a calm personality and knows how to measure. I wonder if this is a good change for her?
"Look at how they behave, and I ask you to go to school, not just for your study and progress, but also for you to learn how to communicate with people, distinguish people's hearts, and learn from others' strengths to make up for your own shortcomings." Xing Wei confessed Daughter and Daiyu. "What does Chen Jin think of Xue Baochai's admission?"
"She is so sour, but she also surrounds Xue Baochai and refuses to let go of her airs to take the silver in her hand." Jia Ai followed Chen Jin's appearance, making Xing Wei and Daiyu laugh straight away. This Chen Jin is also funny, thinking of Baochai. With the silver in his hand, he felt that he was superior to Baochai, and looked down on Baochai's identity, so he made a group of classmates laugh at him without knowing it.
"Let's see again, maybe they will be able to get together soon."Xue Baochai sprinkled money all over the place, just to open the gap and blend in with the crowd. There are eggs with seams ready-made, so it is not uncommon for Chen Jin and her to get together sooner or later.Xing Wei didn't intend to stop it either, this is fate, the fate they chose, no one else's fault.
Sure enough, after a while, it was said that Xue Baochai and Chen Jin were inseparable, and Chen Jin also had a lot of new things, such as beautiful handkerchiefs, bright pearl flowers... they are not very valuable, but they are also refurbished in endless ways.
Xue's mother and daughter lived in Rongguo Mansion, and they brought two loyal servants to live in with them. Because Jia Zhu also had servants around him, and there were also places where he lived, so it was not too troublesome to arrive.These two people are not under the control of the Rongguo Mansion, and Xing Wei has no freedom to prohibit them, but he is not worried that they will bring disaster to the Rongguo Mansion, and looking for someone to watch their whereabouts is also monitoring the movements of Xue's mother and daughter from the side. Xing Wei didn't believe that Xue's mother and daughter would put Xue Pan in prison to wait for death, but they should know their attitude and didn't come to ask them to save him, so Xing Wei also pretended not to know.
On the surface, the pair of loyal servants seemed honest, they only went to buy some daily necessities for the masters, grabbing medicine and so on. Xue's mother and daughter were able to set up camp in the Rongguo Mansion, and gradually gained the favor of the servants, and they were inseparable from them. .
Xing Wei still ignored it, because foxes always want to show their tails, and it is impossible for the mother and daughter of the Xue family to live in Rongguo Mansion for a lifetime, and in her opinion, if possible, Wang Xifeng might find a chance to marry Jia Zhu. , Jia Zhu's marriage is in trouble.I don't know whether it is Shaohuigen himself or Jia Zheng's previous teachings that have shaped him. He is not as talented in reading as Baoyu, and this person is lonely and widowed. Trouble, in Xing Wei's opinion, it would be a good thing for Xue Baochai, who is so slick, to match him.
Wang Xifeng treated the Xing family badly in the original book, but here she did not offend Xing Wei. On the contrary, her performance in school was quite in Xing Wei's heart. This is the performance of a smart girl.
On the contrary, the older Jia Zhu was, the more he resembled Jia Zheng, which made her despise him.If Wang Xifeng had the guts to propose a husband change, Xing Wei would not intervene deliberately, and would be considerate of her heart. Such a person would not want to marry his own daughter, let alone someone else's daughter.
As for Xue Baochai, she asked for it herself. Jia Zhu also seemed to avoid their contact with her. Ever since the mother and daughter moved into the Rongguo Mansion, they politely expressed their gratitude to themselves, but they were rejected. , instead of throwing money everywhere to show their existence, Xing Wei is very disgusted with this kind of person, and has no idea of being a guest, so she doesn't care if she is married to someone who is not.
Xing Wei would not jump out and say that cousins and cousins are not suitable for marriage. In this era, there are many close relatives, and they also have children and carry on the family line. Although there are also deaths or disabilities, the mortality rate of infants and young children is high in this age. In the era of frequent outbreaks, this problem is not obvious at all, and no one will believe you when you tell the reason.
Although Xue Baochai was younger than Jia Zhu, if Jia Zhu had the heart, he would naturally be willing to wait. Judging from his attitude towards Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai, he also knew that he was not careless.
Don't say anything about Xue Baochai's refusal, her current status is not as good as Jia Zhu's. At least, Jia Zhu still lives in Rongguo Mansion and is taken care of by her uncle, but her Xue family is about to fall and come to join Jia Zhu, and there is a murderer Brother, I will worry about finding a suitable in-law's family in the future.Sure enough, not long after, Jia Zhu came to look for Xing Wei. He didn't come to the door easily and didn't speak. Last time it was for Xue's mother and daughter, but this time it was still to help them open a shop: "Auntie has some money by her side. But I didn't want to sit and eat, so I thought about taking some money to open a shop, but it's not convenient for their women to go out, so I thought it would be more convenient to hang it under my name first."
"Think about it, once this shop is written in your name, you will lose your share in the imperial examination." Although the Holy One collected a lot of taxes from the merchants, he still didn't improve the status of the merchants much. For the imperial examination, once this Jia Zhu has a shop, he will automatically give up the scientific examination and become a "pariah". It is not only himself who affects him, but also his children.
"This?" Jia Zhu hesitated. The matter was so important that he really didn't think carefully.
"Write it under the name of your big brother Li." Xing Wei said: "You'd better get a job. If you don't have a job, not only you, but also the children will have a hard time in the future." Xing Wei won't just sit and watch him In order to make a fool of themselves, the husband and wife are now the guardians of Jiazhu and Baoyu. They have made a big mistake, and they are the ones who are blamed by outsiders.
"Yes," Jia Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that his aunt would not agree, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and he even gave him comprehensive advice.
"Are you looking forward to the shop? What kind of goods are you going to sell?" Xing Wei asked casually, also wanting to know who is planning to win, Jia Zhu and Xue Baochai. Taking advantage of others, Xue came up with this idea because he was afraid that he would not be able to keep his family, so he looked for a backer, just looking at this mutual calculation, he knew that they were really a family.
"This nephew hasn't asked yet, it's all the servants of my aunt's family who are taking care of it."
