The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 218
After Wang Momo left, Yuchuan walked into the Buddhist hall full of thoughts.Seeing the gift box in her hand, Mrs. Wang who had just woken up asked, "What are you holding?"

Only then did Yu Chuan realize that Mrs. Wang had woken up and was sitting on the chair in front of the incense table looking at herself. She quickly replied with a smile, "Mrs. You can get good Ejiao if you get it."

"Hmph, show off your smell! That's all right, you put things aside."

"Yes, ma'am." Yu Chuan replied, and was about to turn around and leave, but as soon as she touched the banknote in her sleeve, and remembered her sister who died tragically, she pretended to hesitate and said, "Madam, I will go to the kitchen in the morning to give When you were picking up the food, you passed by the garden, and you heard Suyun, the eldest grandma’s girl, gossiping with others, talking about the marriage of the second master Bao, including you, I don’t know if I should talk about it or not?”

"Come and hear what you said?" Mrs. Wang didn't pay much attention at first, after all, she had already learned about Baoyu's marriage arrangement from Jia Zheng, but when she heard that it was still related to her, she immediately regained her spirits.

Yu Chuan put the things in his hand on the table, then came to Mrs. Wang, and said mysteriously, "I heard from Suyun that the marriage of the second master Bao was arranged by the grandma, so that it will be the future." Deal with the wife."

"What, you didn't talk nonsense, what else did they say?" Mrs. Wang was startled, she grabbed Yu Chuan's hand and asked sharply.

"Ma'am, what I said is what I have heard with my own ears. Na Suyun also said that in order to prevent the second master Bao from becoming the master and release his wife from the Buddhist hall in the future, the eldest grandma introduced her cousin to the second master Bao." ,future…"

"In the future, their sisters can jointly control the back house and keep me locked in the Buddhist hall, right?" Mrs. Wang pinched Yu Chuan's hand viciously, her face twisted, it was obvious that she believed Yu Chuan's words.

Speaking of it, this is also Wang's own sin. She used to blame Li Wan for the death of her eldest son. She often told people that it was Li Wan who killed her Zhu'er, and she was harsh on Li Wan from time to time.Using herself to push others, she certainly believed that Li Wan had a grudge against her mother-in-law.

"It's all because the servants are useless. When I heard them talking about their wives, I wanted to understand, but I accidentally showed my whereabouts. After Suyun found me, she hurried away after halfway speaking." Yu Chuan Resisting the pain in his hand, he replied cautiously.

Mrs. Wang let go of Yu Chuan's hand, and sneered, "This bastard is not enough to kill Zhu Er, but she wants to hurt me again! I said why she was so kind all of a sudden, and she cared about Bao Yu's marriage. It's this wishful thinking, to make her big dream in spring and autumn."

"Madam, but I heard that Master has already made an agreement with Master Li." Yu Chuan casually reminded.

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she became even more anxious, and she couldn't help saying to herself, "Yes, I'm afraid this matter is difficult to handle. I'm locked up in the Buddhist hall now, and I can't find another marriage for Baoyu. How can this be?" it is good?"

Seeing the opportunity coming, Yu Chuan immediately said without losing the opportunity, "Madam, I have a good candidate here."

"You, what good candidate do you have?" Mrs. Wang was skeptical, and really didn't believe that a little maid could have any good candidate.But Yu Chuan explained calmly, "Ma'am, listen to me carefully. I once chatted with Wang Momo and heard something from her. Mrs. Xue once asked the official media to tell Uncle Xue The woman is the only daughter of the Xia family, a well-known imperial merchant in Beijing, but the girl dislikes Uncle Xue for his bad character, so this matter finally became a scandal."

"You mean to tell Baoyu this girl?" Mrs. Wang understood what Yuchuan meant.

"That's right, ma'am, think about it, Mrs. Xue's family is so rich, and she wants Mrs. Xue to marry Miss Xia. The Xia family may be richer than the Xue family! And I heard from my father that the Miss Xia's reputation is very good in Beijing, if she didn't want to marry a man of good character, she probably would have agreed with him long ago."

Mrs. Wang began to figure out that this Yuchuan's father was in charge of buying for the back kitchen of the house, and he was very well informed, so it seems that this girl from the Xia family is really good.But you can't listen to Yu Chuan's words completely, you still have to find someone to inquire again.Thinking of this, she had an idea as soon as she turned her eyes, and immediately ordered Yuchuan, "Go to the kitchen and bring me a bowl of lotus seed soup, and then go to see what Baoyu is doing. I haven't seen him come to greet me for the past two days. "

After sending Yuchuan away, Mrs. Wang immediately found her other girl, Caiyun, and gave her some money, asking her to find someone to inquire about Miss Xia's character.Originally, this matter should be handled by Zhou Rui and his wife, but they were sent to the government by Jia Amnesty before, which made Mrs. Wang want to do something now, and she didn't even have a confidant. Every time she thinks about it, she secretly hates it .

Let's not talk about gossip, and said that Caiyun got the order of Mrs. Wang, so she found a familiar servant in the house, gave him a little money, and then passed the matter on to him.Of course, the boy couldn't enter other people's back houses, so he had to run around the Xia family to find someone to ask nonsense. He asked several people in a row, and those people all said the same thing, why is this girl from the Xia family beautiful and valuable? Ah, the reason why it has been delayed until today is all because his vision is too high, and so on.After hearing this, the young servant didn't suspect him, so he turned around and told Caiyun the news when he returned home, and Caiyun reported the news to Mrs. Wang.

After listening to Mrs. Wang, and comparing it with Yu Chuan's words, she immediately felt that this Miss Xia, whom she had never met before, was very good. She was afraid that others would take the lead, so when Jia Zheng came to see her the next day, she directly told Jia Zheng said.

Of course Jia Zheng didn't want to, so he just listened to him and said, "This is not right. Brother Shouzhong and I have already made a verbal agreement. How can we break our promise? Besides, you said that Miss Xia was born in a businessman, so how can she be worthy of it?" The lintel of our house?"

Mrs. Wang stayed up almost all night, thinking about how to persuade Jia Zheng, "My lord, I am also planning for Baoyu's future. Think about it carefully, after a hundred years of the old lady, will our second wife still be able to stay in Rongguo Mansion?"

Jia Zheng was scarred by Mrs. Wang, and remained silent with a dark face. Mrs. Wang continued, "Let's not talk about the old lady, just say that we, husband and wife, will always walk ahead of Baoyu in the future. At that time, can we give How much money did Baoyu leave behind? You also know the family background of the Li family. They don’t have much dowry at all, but the girls from the Xia family are different. Their family is an imperial merchant who is stronger than her brother-in-law’s family. In the future, the family property will not all belong to Baoyu and our grandson."

"Women's opinion, if you want to pass it on to the family, how can you just look at money?"

"My good master, can I not know this truth? But you don't look at Baoyu's situation. He is spoiled by the old lady. He grew up rich and well-clothed since he was a child. Once he becomes independent in the future, he can take care of him. Take care of yourself? In order to make him live better in the future, I just want to find him a daughter-in-law who has a good family fortune and can manage the house. But can the girl from the Li family do it? You can see that from the daughter-in-law Zhu. two."

Jia Zheng thought about it carefully, and found that what Wang said was indeed reasonable, but if he was asked to voluntarily repent of the marriage, would his reputation still be lost?As the other half of Jia Zheng who has shared the same bed for decades, Mrs. Wang knew what Jia Zheng was thinking when she saw Jia Zheng's expression, and immediately gave him a step down, "Master, I know you are a trustworthy gentleman, don't you?" I am willing to do the breaking of the contract. But there is still room for change in this matter, after all, the marriage letter has not yet been officially issued, right? You go and beg the old lady to come forward, and say that you have settled it with an expert, and that Miss Li and Baoyu are not compatible."

"Can the old lady be willing?" After all, Jia Zheng was persuaded by Mrs. Wang.

"Master first sends someone to invite an official matchmaker to go to Xia's house to finalize the marriage. Then tell the old lady about it. I think the old lady loves Baoyu so much. As long as you tell me about the serious relationship, she will definitely agree."

"Forget it, because of Baoyu's evil obstacle, I can only break my promise."

Seeing the back of Jia Zheng leaving, Mrs. Wang showed a complacent expression on her face, "Hmph, Mrs. Li, you still want to fight with me, practice for a few more years!" As for whether the Xia family girl would agree to marry Baoyu? Marriage, in Mrs. Wang's opinion, there is no need to consider it at all.Her precious jade is so precious, for a little girl from an imperial merchant to marry him, she has already manifested her ancestors in eight lifetimes.
