The Red Mansions

Chapter 243 Wishes come true, sister Jia Qiao's future

……

Xue Baoqin was in Jia Yun's arms, with tears on her face, exhausted, and asked in a soft voice, "What should I do from now on?"

Jia Yun murmured, "Now that you're with me, don't think about the Mei family's marriage."

"Their family doesn't want to pay attention to you now, so don't go on the pole, for fear that you won't be able to marry."

"As for my aunt, I will ask Shang Lu to bring some medicines, and teach her to drink the medicines until she recovers from her illness."

"The other courtyard next door, you can choose a set when you have time, and you can move here from Xue's house in the future. Your cousin is here, so you can take care of her."

Xue Baoqin hummed, closed her eyes in a relaxed manner, and soon fell asleep.

Xiao Luo next to her pursed her lips and snickered, staring at Jia Yun with her big watery eyes.

"Master, will servants still come to you in the future?" Xiaoluo asked eagerly.

Jia Yun smiled, pecked her lightly, nodded and said, "Of course, you can come to me anytime."

With Jia Yun's guarantee, Xiao Luo falls asleep contentedly.

Jia Yun tightened her grip on the master and servant, feeling silently after doing things with Xue Baoqin this time, to see if there was any change in the exercises.

Soon, Jia Yun sighed.

Xue Baoqin, as a character in the Twelve Beauties' supplementary book, really only activated a short section of kung fu, which is of no great use to Jia Yun, and can only be used as an introduction to guide the aura to circulate in Xue Baoqin's body.

Not every girl can benefit Jia Yun as much as Ping'er did.

After resting for a while, Jia Yun called Xiang Ling and other maidservants to come in and serve her.

"Let them sleep, they are very tired today."

Dress properly, Jia Yun whispered to Xiangling and the others.

After leaving the room, Jia Yun asked Xiang Ling, "Where are Madam and Second Mistress Lian?"

"Because the master is in the wife's room, they went to Lian's Second Grandma's yard." Xiangling replied.

Jia Yun nodded, lifted the curtain, and stepped out, preparing to go to Wang Xifeng's courtyard.

The wind and snow were coming, and the snowflakes were falling all over the sky, like goose feathers, swirling one after another.

In less than a day, the snow in the yard was three feet thick.

Fortunately, there are corridors connecting all around, otherwise it would be really inconvenient to travel.

The cold wind howled, icy cold.

Jia Yun let out a long breath, then turned her head and said, "Xiangling, go to the room and add another two pots of fire, don't let them freeze."

"Hey, I'm going now, servant girl." Xiangling responded, beckoning to Xiang'er, and the two turned around and went to work.

Stepping under the eaves, Jia Yun asked He Shuangqing, "Girl, do you miss your hometown?"

"Uh, it's okay. There are sisters here to play with, and you can read and write lyrics. It's more comfortable than being in my hometown. I don't miss my hometown too much." He Shuangqing said with a smile.

Jia Yun asked curiously, "Don't you miss your family?"

He Shuangqing's father died young, and was brought up by his mother. He also had an older sister, who was the second child. She was called Qingqing at first, and then changed to Shuangqing.

"I think about it, but I don't really think about it. The main reason is that the slaves don't get along with their family members, and their feelings are weak, unlike other sisters who always miss their families." He Shuangqing blinked and said bluntly.

Jia Yun shook her head with a smile. The brain of this poet and poet is very different from that of ordinary people, and he doesn't bother to delve into it.

When they came to Wang Xifeng's courtyard, Jia Yun asked Wang Xifeng, "When are you going back today?"

"Just go back before dark." Wang Xifeng said.

Jia Yun nodded and said, "Okay, when you leave later, don't forget to take the winter supplies with you."

Wang Xifeng asked curiously, "What are they?"

She is also used to it now. Whenever the season changes, Jia Yun's family will have new supplies.

Food, clothing, and use are all available, and they are all things that can be used.

"Go back and see for yourself, I packed it up for you to take away." Jia Yun said with a smile.

Then, Jia Yun said to Xue Baochai beside her: "Baochai, your cousin is probably going to give her a yard, so you can give her the key when the time comes, and ask Keqing to help you with the things that need to be supplemented."

Xue Baochai nodded and said: "If your husband doesn't talk about it, the slave family will arrange it. Can the slave family make things difficult for your cousin?"

"Hehe, I'm the one talking too much!" Jia Yun smiled, then turned to Wang Xifeng and said:

"Let's say in private right now that when there are outsiders around in the future, we still need to be careful. As long as you are still in Jia's mansion, we can't be too presumptuous..."

Wang Xifeng hummed, sighed, and said, "I have a very strong premonition that my marriage with Jia Lian may not be able to continue after the eldest girl visits her relatives next year."

Jia Yun said: "Hey, it's better if this happened sooner. It's not an option to drag it on like this."

"Tch! Of course you think so, but have you considered my feelings? I'm going to be divorced by Jia Lian, and I won't be able to hold my head up for the rest of my life." Wang Xifeng said in a depressed mood.

Xue Baochai interjected, "I won't lose my head. From now on, my cousin will be in charge of the family's business, and she will have to show her face. As long as her life is better than that of Lian's second brother, there will be no such thing as being unable to hold her head up."

"Sophistry!" Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes and said, "I can only think so, otherwise what else can I do?"

"This world is not very friendly to women. From now on, I can follow Brother Yun and manage the business. I am already very content."

"Don't worry, I'm just whining in front of you right now."

Jia Yun answered, "When you come over, don't forget to bring sister Qiao. She is a girl. If you follow your stepmother, you will not be happy."

"This matter is difficult, the girl from the Jia family, it may be difficult to bring it out." Wang Xifeng frowned.

Jia Yun said: "Then you should discuss it with Second Uncle Lian. If he agrees to give you Qiaojieer, you agree to make peace."

"If you don't agree, then resolutely oppose it. As long as you haven't committed the seven crimes, he can't do anything about you."

Divorcing a wife in ancient times didn't mean writing a divorce letter casually like in TV, and then divorced the wife.

On the contrary, in ancient times, whether it was the law or the clan etiquette, there were enough guarantees for the status and rights of the main wife.

In ancient times, if a man wanted to divorce his wife, he had to follow the principle of "seven out and three out".

Qichu refers to the fact that a wife can divorce her if she is infertile.

Those who are not filial to the husband's parents can divorce their wives.

Women who cheat can divorce their wives.

Women who are jealous can divorce their wives (this is for the upper-class nobles, men have three wives and four concubines, if a woman is jealous, it will easily lead to family disharmony).

The woman has a serious disease, such as an infectious disease. In order not to harm the whole family, coupled with the low level of ancient medical treatment, it can only be left to fend for itself.

Sowing dissension, saying nothing, and stealing are all eligible for divorce.

In addition, marrying but not returning, mourning for three years, being poor and then rich, are usually called "three don't go".

If in these three cases, the husband insists on divorcing his wife, he will be punished by law.

There are two situations where a husband can resolutely divorce his wife and is not bound by the "three no-goes".

That is, the wife commits a serious disease, or the wife commits adultery.

It is unkind for the former to divorce their wives. Since they are already married, they should live together in old age, sickness and death. Even if they can't do it, they shouldn't abandon others when they are in trouble.

The latter is reduced to a common reason for many people when they want to divorce. Sometimes it may be true, and sometimes it may be just a non-existent excuse.

However, between Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, with Jia Lian's temperament, it is more likely that he will discuss peace with Wang Xifeng.

After all, Wang Xifeng's natal family is not easy to mess with.

If Wang Xifeng disagrees, Jia Lian will also consider the consequences of offending the Wang family.

As the natal family, the Wang family definitely did not want Wang Xifeng to be divorced by Jia Lian, it would be a very embarrassing thing.

Therefore, in the marriage between Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, the initiative is actually in Wang Xifeng's hands.

After listening to Jia Yun's analysis, Wang Xifeng nodded and said, "Forget it, if Jia Lian discusses this matter with me after returning to Beijing, I'll use Sister Qiao in exchange for the terms of reconciliation!"

In fact, no matter how strong she is, as a woman, she was passive in ancient times.

Whether it is reconciliation or divorce, it is also a matter of extremely ruining reputation for Wang Xifeng.

Jia Yun warned: "You have to pay attention to one thing. If Second Uncle Lian asks you to discuss it, you must hold back your temper and don't quarrel with him. Once you quarrel with him, what is reasonable will become unreasonable."

"Heh, if he wants to divorce me, won't I be allowed to lose my temper?" Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and became angry immediately.

Jia Yun glared at her, and said: "It's about the reputation of the Jia family, do you think the old lady Jia is really kind? If there is a trouble, do you think your aunt will turn to you?"

"If you don't believe me, try it. If you really quarrel with Uncle Lian, Mrs. Jia will definitely tell you which man is not cheating and send you away. Not only will you be unable to relieve your anger, but you will be laughed at."

"And your aunt, although she is facing the Wang family, she is the daughter-in-law of the Jia family on the surface, and she will speak for the Jia family, she will not care about your face."

"If she really gave you face, she wouldn't let you go to housekeeper these years. She will bear the benefits, and you will bear the blame. How can there be such an aunt?"

Wang Xifeng was speechless after being reprimanded, opened her mouth, and suddenly said in frustration: "Hey, I was really a bad luck in eight lifetimes, why did I marry into Jia's house?"

Jia Yun sighed, and said, "Is it useful for you to say such things now? Don't worry, after you come to me, I will make up for your grievances."

"At that time, I will not only let you take charge of the family's business, but also let you have a few big fat boys, and I will be mad at Second Uncle Lian, do you think it's okay?"

When Wang Xifeng heard this, he giggled and waved his hands: "Look at what you said, even if you don't let me take charge of the business, I won't give you a big fat boy?"

As she said that, she glanced at Xue Baochai enviously, and thought to herself, if she had several sons in Jia's mansion, who would dare to provoke her easily?

To put it bluntly, a son is confident, and no son is born, no matter how domineering Wang Xifeng is, there is always a lack of confidence.

Jia Yun laughed and said, "That's the deal. Second Uncle Lian will talk to you about reconciliation. In addition to asking for sister Qiao, you can also get back the losses you suffered in managing Jia's mansion. , I believe it is not difficult."

"Of course I will. Even if the Jia family has no money to compensate me, they have to use the shop to compensate me. Otherwise, I won't agree." Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth and said.
