On this day, Mrs. Wang came to Jia's house early in the morning. Jia's mother asked Yuanyang and the girls to watch outside the door. Mrs. Wang was left alone in the room.
Mrs. Jia looked at Mrs. Wang and said nothing more. "What do you think of Baoyu, who has also reached the age of starting a family?" she asked directly
After listening to Jia Mu's words, Mrs. Wang decided what she meant, but did not dare to speculate. She hesitated and said, "I also want to listen to the old lady, so I can ask her for a letter. I don't know which one the old lady wants to order."
Mother Jia said, "Originally, I wanted to let Daiyu and Baoyu get married, but Daiyu was always bad. She always got sick. So I hesitated to hear what you said."
Mrs. Wang understood what Jia Mu meant when she heard this, and then she said boldly: "From the daughter-in-law's point of view, the eldest girl is really outstanding in this family. She is just a little weak. She is not as good as Baochai. Although she is not as good as the eldest girl in appearance and talent, her body is stronger. She is generous and never petty."
After listening to this, Jia Mu sighed, "I've seen Baochai for so long, and I think Baochai is still better. But Baoyu's heart is on Daiyu. If he disobeys him, in case of trouble, it will be hard to clean up."
Mrs. Wang doesn't know her precious son. Since Daiyu came, her heart has been on her. Even she is a mother.
It turned out that the old lady wanted to match the two people, so she tried to persuade her sister's family to come to Beijing. The two sisters planned to pair Baochai with Baoyu. Mrs. Wang thought that she might trip up here. But the old lady also changed her mind.
Since Baochai came here, the old lady has never failed to know Mrs. Wang's thoughts. But at that time, she didn't want the Rong Mansion to become the world of the Wangs, so she posed to allocate Daiyu to Baoyu. These years of observation, coupled with the fact that Concubine Yuan had already used up Daiyu's silver when she left home, now Daiyu was already penniless.
If I want to marry Baoyu, I'm afraid I can't help Baoyu. The old lady wanted to choose a suitable girl for Baoyu. Baochai is more suitable here. Although Baochai is the successor of a businessman, her family has the title of emperor merchant after all, which is also a matter of the past.
The old lady said, "Well, you can find the girl Feng and discuss with her. See what she has in mind." After listening, Mrs. Wang called Yu Chuan'er in and asked her to invite Sister Feng.
After Yuchuan left, the old lady said, "Baochai just grew up with Baoyu, and they knew each other's roots. Besides, Baochai always advised Baoyu to study and make progress. Let's rest assured."
Mrs. Wang nodded and said yes. This was Sister Feng calling because of Yuchuan. She was thinking about something important, so she walked faster on the road. Came to Jia Mu's main house. Please greet Jia Mu after coming in.
Mother Jia said, "I called you today to hear what you mean. I discussed with the second wife and wanted Baoyu to marry your aunt Xue's daughter Baochai. What do you think?"
After listening to this, Sister Feng's heart thumped. She always felt that Baoyu's heart was on Daiyu, and she also liked Daiyu more than Baochai. She always thought that the old lady liked Daiyu, but unexpectedly, she proposed to marry Baochai today. Sister Feng doesn't know how to reply.
But it's no good not to talk back, so Sister Feng only looked at the old lady's face and said carefully, "This is good, but it's not easy to talk about Baoyu. Baoyu is a real person. What can we do if she gets angry when she knows this news?"
It was for this that Jia Mu worried. Hearing Sister Feng said the same thing, she sighed in her heart and regretted that she had tried so hard to attract the two people. To this point today.
Jia's mother said, "I'm worried about this too. Let you come over and make a decision. It's better to see what happens." Sister Feng could not help complaining about Jia's mother. The villain wanted her to do it anyway. But I only dare to complain in my heart, and I dare not show it on my mouth and face.
Sister Feng thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it's going to hurt Sister Bao. It's easy to deal with it." Mother Jia told Sister Feng to go on. Sister Feng said, "Don't Brother Bao think he wants to marry Sister Lin? Let's keep it from him and say that he married Sister Lin."
After hearing this, Jia Mu understood a little, but she asked Sister Feng to continue. Sister Feng scolded the old fox in her heart, and she had to go on saying, "Let's just arrange the new house so that the girls and women in the family can not show the wind. When we get into the bridal chamber, we will only be afraid that it is raw rice to cook mature rice, and we will only recognize it as Brother Bao."
When Sister Feng said this, she hesitated a little. Mother Jia asked, "What else is there?" Sister Feng said, "I'm afraid even Sister Lin will be wronged."
Mother Jia asked, "How can I say that?" Sister Feng said, "Since we should say that, I'm afraid if the news spreads, it will be bad for my sister's reputation."
Hearing this, Jia Mu was also worried. This reputation is the most important thing for girls. If it should be announced, it would be difficult to find Daiyu's husband's family in the future. If I can't find the right one, I will not help Jia's family in the future. That would not disappoint my intention of raising her.
Mrs. Wang didn't think so. What is Daiyu? Baoyu also likes her anyway. It's better to ask for a decree to make Daiyu smaller. In this way, they can also be full of their thoughts. Since then, Baoyu has not been tightly held in their own hands, but that Daiyu has become their own daughter-in-law, and is not allowed to rub.
When Mrs. Wang thought of this, she said, "Just let Baoyu know this. Even if it's spread out, it's limited." After hearing this, Mrs. Jia nodded and said, "Let's do it. When the second wife enters the palace tomorrow, she will ask the Empress for an order. Lady Feng will go to prepare the wedding things."
Speaking of this, what should Jia Mu do when she thinks of setting? It's always troublesome to do this job, but Daiyu's health is also important. After Baoyu's job is finished, she must find a suitable person for Daiyu.
Mother Jia carefully asked Sister Feng to think about how to hide from Daiyu. Daiyu was also upset because she had some trouble with Baoyu. Looking at those bamboo poles in the yard, I felt sad in silence.
Zijuan looked beside her and was worried. The girl always made a little fuss with the second master. It was not good after all. Even if the old lady didn't say anything, the second wife couldn't be happy. What's more, any mother would like to see her son go low and low.
