In the Rongxi Hall, Jia Zheng was not happy when he heard about the Osmanthus Xia family.
How respected is their Rongguo family?
How can you get married to a mere merchant family? What's more, she is a woman who has lost her father.
Thinking of this, Jia Zheng couldn't help but said: "It's absolutely inappropriate. Even if our Rongguo Mansion declines, we will never get married to a mere businessman."
"What's more, she is still a girl who has lost her father. She does not know the three obediences and the four virtues. It is definitely inappropriate."
Mrs. Wang hesitated for a moment and then said: "What the master said is true, but now our Rongguo Mansion has declined, and Baoyu's reputation is not very good."
"It is extremely difficult to find a well-matched woman to marry. The Guihua Xia family is the best family we can find."
"Master Kuang also wants to make plans for Baoyu's future. Master Kuang knows that Baoyu is intolerant of worldly affairs. Now our place in Rongguo Mansion is not what it used to be."
"The old lady has grown up again. I don't know what will happen to the old lady a hundred years from now. How much of Baoyu will she get by then?"
"He is not a good housekeeper. I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a living."
"And the Osmanthus Xia family has a lot of wealth, and her family is a peerless one. In the future, won't all this family fortune fall on Baoyu?"
"I heard that this young lady from the Xia family is also literate and is naturally proficient in business."
"With their family's wealth and her being a shrewd and capable person, the family business will naturally become more prosperous."
"Besides, now that Brother Feng has been divorced and returned home, the old lady is very dissatisfied with me. If Miss Xia family marries in, she will be the head of the family."
"In this way, the Rongguo Mansion is legitimately in the hands of our second wife. Think about it, sir, is this true?"
Jia Zheng is a gentleman, how could he care about such calculations?
However, after thinking about it briefly, what Mrs. Wang said is not completely unreasonable.
It's just that he was very unhappy with this kind of calculation, and it didn't tarnish his Ji Yue Qingfeng.
Jia Zheng suddenly said impatiently: "Since you said so, I'll just do what you want."
After hearing Jia Zheng's promise, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Now Mrs. Wang really covets the Osmanthus Xia family's property.
It turned out that she was plotting against the Xue family.
If Baochai is allowed to marry in, most of the Xue family's property will belong to their Jia family.
It's just that the shallow-sighted people of the Xue family are unwilling to marry them, which makes Mrs. Wang unimaginable.
Now there is the Guihua Xia family. Although the wealth is not as good as the Xue family, the Guihua Xia family is unique. In the future, all the wealth will fall into Baoyu's hands.
This is naturally the best thing.
Now, Mrs. Wang has no way out.
She first emptied the Rongguo Mansion's treasury to support her parents' family. After being discovered, Jia's mother disliked her even more.
A few days ago, Jia Zheng forced her to go to the Wang family to collect debts. If she did not receive one hundred thousand taels of silver within ten days, he would divorce her.
Mrs. Wang also had to go back to her natal family to collect debts. Now is the most difficult time for the Wang family.
How could the Wang family afford so much money all of a sudden?
Wang Ziteng had the intention not to give up, but he was also afraid that the Rongguo Mansion would report them to the Yamen with a piece of paper.
Therefore, Wang Ziteng had to sell his property again, and finally managed to scrape together one hundred thousand taels of silver and return it to the Jia family first.
The sale of their property this time has made the Wang family even more miserable, and even their daily livelihood has become difficult.
And this not only made the Wang family hate the Jia family, but also Mrs. Wang, who continued to collect debts.
Even Wang Ziteng didn't look good on Mrs. Wang.
This made Mrs. Wang very aggrieved.
Naturally, her heart was towards her mother's family, but she didn't expect that she would end up in this situation.
In the end, it turned out that the two ends were not human.
Now even her mother-in-law's family treats her like this, which leaves her with no way out.
She absolutely cannot be divorced and returned to the Wang family. If she is divorced, the only way to return to the Wang family is to die.
Because of this, when she heard about the situation of Guihua Xia's family, she became even more determined to let it go.
As long as the Guihua Xia family's property can be swallowed up, it will not only improve their predicament in Rongguo Mansion, but also help the Wang family and improve their relationship with the Wang family. It is the best of both worlds.
How could Mrs. Wang miss such a good marriage?
Fortunately, after all the hard talk, the master was finally swayed. Next, Mrs. Wang went to Jia Mu in person and decided to accept the marriage.
After hearing this, Jia Mu was speechless for a long time, and finally recognized it while holding her nose.
She doesn't like the Osmanthus Xia family, but Baoyu's marriage is ultimately up to his mother and father.
As a grandmother, she had no objection.
Soon, the Rongguo Mansion sent matchmakers to propose marriage.
As for the Osmanthus Xia family, after hearing the news, they were also extremely happy and agreed happily.
They are just from a business family, and to be able to marry into the Rongguo Mansion is definitely a feat for them.
Although Rongguo Mansion has declined, Jia Baoyu's reputation is also very bad.
But they had already inquired about it. Jia Baoyu had a gentle personality and a girl-like character. She would definitely not suffer any loss if she married him.
This marriage is really a good match that they couldn't find even with a lantern.
Both husbands were interested in concubine, so they quickly got engaged.
And both parties were afraid that the other would regret it, so after the engagement, both parties were quite eager and wanted to get married as soon as possible.
So after some discussion, we decided to get married two months later.
Because the wedding date was quite urgent, the Rongguo Mansion also began to get busy, and they began to prepare in advance for Baoyu's wedding.
At this time, the warehouses in Rongguo Mansion were empty, and livelihood became increasingly difficult.
Fortunately, for Baoyu's marriage, Jia's mother took out her own money to make up for it, so that preparations could be made smoothly.
Because of this marriage, the gloomy Rongguo Mansion was filled with a bit of joy.
Moreover, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but feel depressed when she heard that she was engaged and that she had no chance to meet Sister Lin since then.
But soon, he became curious about the bride-to-be.
I heard that this daughter of the Xia family was also able to read and write, and could write poems and essays.
If she waits for her to pass the door, we can sing poetry and harmonies together all day long, which is also a wonderful thing.
I just wonder how she was born?
The more he thought about this, the more itchy Jia Baoyu became.
He couldn't help but send Mingyan to inquire.
Not long after, Mingyan came back and said, "Second Master, I went out to inquire, and Second Mistress turned out to be a flower-like person. Even in our house, we can't find such a beautiful person."
Hearing this, Baoyu suddenly said happily: "Have you seen what his facial features are like? Is there a portrait?"
Mingyan immediately said sarcastically: "Second Master, how noble is Second Grandma? Of course she is pure and pure, like a fairy, how can she be willing to show her face?"
"So I just heard about it. How can I have such a fate to meet my second grandma? I just heard what others said, it must be very good."
After hearing this, Baoyu became more and more happy.
At the same time, I couldn't wait to look forward to it. I just wished that I could get married today and see this young lady from the Xia family immediately.
…
On this day, Jia Huan happened to be at home, and Xue Pan came to the door cursing.
When Jia Huan saw this, he couldn't help but asked funnyly: "Brother Xue, I wonder who made you so angry? Tell me?"
Xue Pan said angrily: "Brother Huan, he is your brother, and he is also a real relative of my Xue family. Don't let me scold him!"
"I'm so angry! He has such hatred for killing his father and taking away his wife. I and his big-faced boy are irreconcilable!"
Jia Huan was confused when he heard this. Why did the big-faced boy offend this guy?
What is the hatred for killing your father and the hatred for taking away your wife?
When your father died, the big-faced baby hadn't been born yet, and you don't have a wife now, right?
Jia Huan couldn't help but ask: "Brother Xue, what you're saying is confusing, and I didn't even hear that you are a Chou Yin Mao. Please tell me carefully."
Xue Pan sat down and cursed: "The big-faced boy asked someone to come to propose marriage to my sister before, but he didn't look at his own virtue? Is he worthy of my sister?"
"I said at that time that I would rather be the concubine of a hero than the wife of a mediocre person. My sister would rather marry Brother Huan as a concubine than marry that bastard with a big face."
"My mother and I had a big quarrel over this matter. Later, when the scandal came out about the big-faced boy hooking up with an actor's wife, my mother found out about his personality and broke off the marriage."
"Brother Huan, you are still in the period of filial piety, so it is not easy to propose marriage. When you pass the period of filial piety, I will betroth my sister to you as your concubine."
This guy is still as arrogant as ever and dares to say anything.
This guy seems to have lost his mind. At first he wanted to be his father, but now he wants to be his uncle. There really is no one else.
Jia Huan couldn't help but said speechlessly: "Brother Xue, can this kind of thing be a joke? Is it because of this incident that you hate Baoyu?"
Xue Pan said angrily: "Of course it's not because of this incident. I'm not so stingy."
"You don't know, I went on a long trip a few days ago, and I haven't been able to come to you these days."
"When I happened to come back, I stopped by a relative's house. We are old relatives and we have a close relationship."
"When Qian'er arrived at her house, Grandma Xia didn't have a son. When she saw me in such a state, she cried and laughed at the same time. It was actually better than when I saw my son."
"So she called her daughter to come out to meet her, because they have been together since childhood. They are uncle and brother and sister, so there is no suspicion."
"I haven't seen her for a few years, but I didn't know that this girl has grown up like a flower. She is also reading and writing at home. I fell in love with her at first sight, and I thought that I would never marry her in this life."
"Even Lao Chaofeng and a group of guys from the pawn shop harassed me for three or four days. They stayed for a few more days and had to resign hard before letting me go home."
"As soon as I came back, I begged my mother to come and propose marriage. My mother had met this girl before and she was a good match, so she agreed."
"Who would have thought that this big-faced thief would come to propose marriage first? What's even more hateful is that the Xia family actually agreed and will get married in two months!"
"Brother Huan, do you think he is hateful or not? If he were not such a real relative, I would have to come and beat him to pieces!"
What Xue Pan said was a bit irrelevant, and Jia Huan was a little confused.
However, this scene seemed familiar, and in a daze, Jia Huan suddenly thought of a plot.
He couldn't help but ask: "Brother Xue, is this old family of yours the Osmanthus Xia family?"
Xue Pan clapped his hands and said: "Brother Huan, it turns out that you also know their family! You only said that Big Face Bao is hateful! From now on, I will definitely be at odds with him!"
Hearing this, Jia Huan couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Osmanthus Xia family Xia Jingui is going to marry Jia Baoyu?
Boom! Boom!
This Xia Jingui is a big mother-in-law. She married into the Xue family in a red building and made the Xue family extremely upset and had no peace.
Now I wonder if there are any masters of subduing tigers in Rongguo Mansion? Can you subdue this big female insect?
As for the big-faced coward, he will definitely fail, and Mrs. Wang is afraid that it will be quite embarrassing.
If there was Wang Xifeng who could still fight with her, now Wang Xifeng was also divorced by Rongguo Mansion.
Now it would be difficult for the Rongguo Mansion to find a powerful person to subjugate her!
Of course, Tanchun can be considered a powerful person.
But now, as Jia Huan's status has risen, Aunt Zhao has also become Mrs. Gaoming, and Tanchun no longer needs to please Mrs. Wang to improve his embarrassing situation.
In the past two years, Tanchun no longer goes to Rongguo Mansion for free, and only stays in the Grand View Garden when he has nothing to do.
Therefore, Tanchun most likely didn't bother to meddle in such noisy matters.
Jia Huan had a hunch that after Xia Jingui married the big-faced treasure, the Rongguo Mansion would soon become lively.
Jia Huan looked at the aggrieved Xue Pan and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Xue, there is no grass anywhere in the world, why should you fall in love with a flower unrequitedly?"
"Besides, this young lady from the Osmanthus Xia family is really not a good match. Now that you are marrying a big-faced baby, not only can you not complain, but you should also thank the big-faced baby."
Hearing Jia Huan's words, Xue Pan's eyes widened and he said, "Brother Huan, you are so dishonest! This Miss Xia family is obviously a fairy in the sky!"
"Not only does she look like a flower, but she is also literate and speaks nicely. I like her very much! If it hadn't been for this bitch like Big Face Bao, I would have loved her forever if I had married her. , how could it not be a good match?"
"Do I still want to thank Big Face Bao? I thank his eight generations of ancestors! Oh, Brother Huan, I didn't scold you, I only thanked Baoyu's eight generations of ancestors!"
Huo! Are the eight generations of ancestors who co-wrote Baoyu not my eighth generations of ancestors? !
Jia Huan was too lazy to pay attention to this guy. He couldn't help but said: "Brother Xue, you will know in a few months."
"Come on, I know you're unhappy. I'll drink with you today. Let's get drunk before we stop!"
Xue Pan patted Jia Huan on the shoulder and said happily: "These are good brothers. Today, we two brothers will have to get drunk! Whoever is not drunk is the living bastard!"
Jia Huan laughed and ordered people to prepare a banquet.
Sure enough, he and Xue Pan had a drink.
Xue Pan felt unhappy, so he drank to drown his sorrows. It could be said that he drank one cup after another, and soon he was completely drunk.
Jia Huan had to ask the servants to carry him into the car and send him back to Xue Mansion without mentioning it. (End of chapter)
