Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 258

In October, autumn is crisp and clear.

But in Qiushuangzhai, some people were upset.

"Tan girl, you've always been an idea, what should I do now?"

Yingchun found Tanchun anxiously.

As soon as the servant girl was dismissed, tears fell from her eyes.

"Second sister, don't cry yet."

Tanchun took out his handkerchief first, and helped Yingchun wipe the tears off his face twice.

Seeing her gradually calm down, she sighed:

"I know your original thoughts, but how is that possible?"

The two sisters got close and talked to each other.

Tanchun is the only person in the garden who knows about Yingchun's thoughts.

It is precisely because of this that Yingchun immediately comes here to discuss when something happens.

Tanchun knew that Yingchun fell in love with Feng Yibo, but seeing Yingchun shed tears, he could only persuade:
"You usually don't fight or grab, but you are also a caring person. How can you not know that the 'life of your parents' is bigger than the sky?"

It turned out that after the incident with the mandarin ducks, Jia Amnesty no longer dared to reach out to Jia's mother's courtyard.

But the lack of money did not ease.

Just a few days before Jiamu's birthday, Jia Shen made a new friend.

This person's name is Sun Shaozu.

The ancestor of Sun Shaozu was also an old friend of the Jia family.

The Sun family is a wealthy local family in Datong Prefecture, and their ancestors were born in the army.

The family is also considered rich.

In the past, the ancestor of the Sun family was one of the disciples who went around in Ning Rong's mansion.

In this way, how to count is old knowledge.

It's just that it hasn't been moved for many years.

This Sun Shaozu was under [-] years old, so he took over the command post.

But this command is just a false post.

Now he is lingering in the capital alone, just wanting to be promoted in the Ministry of War.

Turn the vain position of command into a real vacancy.

It's a pity that I have always had nowhere to go, and I don't know where to spend my money.

It just so happened that the old matriarch of the Rong Mansion had passed her birthday, so he also brought generous gifts to congratulate her.

The two brothers Jia She and Jia Zheng are not young, and they still have some impressions of the Sun family.

It's just that Jia Zheng feels that although the Sun family is also a family friend.

But it was only Sun Shaozu's grandfather who wished for Ning Rong's power back then.

There are things that can't be settled, so I pray to the door.

The Sun family is not a famous family of poetry and etiquette, but the reckless in the army gained power for a while.

In other words, Jia Zheng looked down on Sun Shaozu's background, and he was a rude warrior in the army.

What he liked was that Feng Yibo was born as a Jinshi.

At least he is also a person who knows the book and respects the ceremony.

In this way, Sun Shaozu couldn't curry favor with the future "father of the country".

He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, hugging the thigh of his brother "the head of the country".

After going back and forth, Jia She was almost coaxed.

He asked Jia Amnesty to speak to the Ministry of War for help.

The few people recommended by Jia Zheng before are still in constant contact with the Jia family.

All these were naturally noticed by Jia She.

Although he also knew that behind this was Wang Ziteng's help.

But he also felt that even without Wang Ziteng, with the prestige of the Jia family, a mere military position should be no problem.

What's more, today's Minister of the Ministry of War is Jia Yucun, the nephew of Jia's family.

So he boasted to Haikou and accepted Sun Shaozu's filial piety.

And sent someone to Xinglong Street to talk to Jia Yucun.

But the problem is, now that Wang Ziteng is impeached, Jia Yucun's self-protection is a problem.

How could he still be in the mood to answer his request?
This is very natural, like a stone sinking into the sea.

No more audio.

After two months, Sun Shaozu waited left and right, but there was no movement.

During the period, I couldn't help but came to remind me several times.

Jia Amnesty had no choice but to let someone ask Jia Yucun again.

But every time he was pushed back.

Only then did he realize that this matter might be messed up.

But the silver has already been obtained, how can it be returned?
Besides, in two months, that little money has almost been spent.

Jia Amnesty simply pretended to be stupid, and only asked Sun Shaozu to go back and wait for the letter.

It is hoped that Jia Yucun will get through this period, and then help Sun Shaozu to settle his real needs.

Unfortunately, Sun Shaozu is not stupid.

He inquired in many ways, and he probably guessed the problem.

At the same time, I knew from Jia Amnesty's attitude that the money might not come back.

So he simply went to the official media and got the idea of ​​the girl from Jia's family.

Since you don't want to return the money, you might as well ask a daughter-in-law to come back.

Left and right are not considered a loss.

What's more, after marrying the Jia family, it's not easy to find a real shortage?

Even if Wang Ziteng is about to fall, there is still the great Buddha of Concubine Xiande.

If the prince becomes a prince in the future, he will become an emperor again.

Maybe you can even make a royal family.

Jia Amnesty is also a bachelor, so he definitely doesn't have any money, but it is negotiable to ask for a concubine daughter.

After thinking about it again, Yingchun just happened to be old.

So, after Sun Shaozu pestered him three or five times.

He went to the inner house and talked about it with Jia Mu.

Although Jia's mother is not very willing, she has her own will when she thinks about her children.

Moreover, the marriage of children is also the order of parents.

If Jia She doesn't care about Yingchun, she will worry about it and help find a good one.

But since her own father has made a claim, why should she be troublesome?

After pondering for a while, he only said three words, "Got it".

Jia Amnesty got her mother's permission and went back to make plans.

I plan to use this to beat the future son-in-law for another sum of money.

Mother Jia didn't say much, but all the maids in her room heard about it.

The news quickly spread throughout the back house.

No, even Yingchun, who is so quiet, has heard of it at this time.

Tanchun handles the affairs of the government on weekdays, and the news is more well-informed.

Naturally, I already knew about this from the servants.

It's just that she was worried about how to talk to her second sister, so she came to her door.

"Since the Eldest Master wants to arrange a marriage for you, how can your daughter's family handle it?"

In this era, children have no right to speak, and even Jia Lian cannot make decisions about his marriage.

What's more, Yingchun is a concubine?
"Originally, I thought that as long as I survived until I was released from the cabinet, the hard days would be over."

Hearing Tanchun's words, Yingchun immediately looked miserable and said:

"But now that I hear that my master is going to make this marriage for me, my heart is like being stabbed by a knife."

She grabbed Tanchun's hand and held it tightly.

It was so tight that the joints turned white, and it was so tight that Tanchun felt pain.

"Tan girl, you may not believe it when you say it."

Speaking of this, Yingchun took a deep breath first, and then said with grief and indignation:
"I'm not reconciled!"

These four words seem to have exhausted all the strength to welcome the spring.

After speaking, her hand slowly loosened.

The whole person is like a deflated ball.

Still muttering in his mouth, he said:

"It is said that I have been submissive for more than ten years, and I have long been used to it, but now for some reason, my unwillingness jumped out at this moment."

With that shadow in my heart, I can no longer tolerate other people.

Tanchun frowned when he heard the words, and then said in a low voice:

"Second sister, don't say such nonsense, what would it be like if people heard it?"

Boudoir daughter, how can I speak out about my marriage.

That's the rule of the day.

If someone listens to it, they will only say that the girls in Jia's mansion are restless.

When Yingchun heard this, her eyes became a little surprised.

It seems to be saying that my sister doesn't understand me.

She straightened up slightly, and said anxiously:
"How can my sister believe what I said is true? I don't want to marry someone surnamed Sun. I just want to stay in the garden, serve the old lady, and be with my sisters!"

This may sound normal, but in fact it is only the first half of the truth.

If it weren't for someone in my heart, what would Yingchun feel reluctant to give up?
In the Grand View Garden, she was always honest and dull, and refused to say a word.

There are not many words, how can there be some truth?
If there is some affection, it is only good with Tanchun.

"Sisters will get married sooner or later, who can stay in their mother's house for the rest of their lives?"

Tanchun heard the words and persuaded him again, and said:

"As juniors, we won't talk about Eldest Master's character, but the husband he found for his second sister is also a descendant of an aristocratic family, and he is also an official."

Hearing her words, Yingchun hurriedly said:

"Baoyu said that he had seen him too, and said that the man did evil deeds and looked evil, so he was not a good friend."

This grandson Shaozu was born with a burly appearance, a strong physique, and is skilled in bow and horse, so he can change his social life.

Anyone who reads it will say: What a man!
Except Jia Zheng and Baoyu.

Both of them are used to the scholarly family, and they see that this man in the army is not good enough.

After Baoyu came back, he even found Yingchun and played it up a lot.

Originally, Yingchun had some special thoughts, but she couldn't bear it anymore after hearing this.

That's why he came to find Tanchun and cried.

"How can you trust Baoyu's words? Besides, if what he said is okay, but what if he said good or bad?"

When Baoyu was mentioned, Tanchun showed disdain, and said:

"After all, he didn't dare to say a word of persuasion in front of the old man, saying good things and bad things is nothing more than gossiping behind his back."

Suddenly she thought of something again, and added:

"By the way, I heard that the old man tried to persuade the old man, but the old man didn't listen. Now that things are up, the second sister should stop thinking about it."

Jia Zheng actually tried to persuade him twice,

Not only did he look down on a military man like Sun Shaozu, but he also had a lot of criticisms about Sun Jiazu.

I only feel that the Sun family was out to cling to each other, not to make friends with each other.

Now Sun Shaozu's purpose is obviously not pure.

Helpless, Jia Amnesty insisted on going his own way, and planned to knock out more money.

Who would listen to Jia Zheng's pedantic words?

"If it was before, I might have held back and said nothing, and just closed my eyes and married."

When Yingchun heard that Jia Zheng's persuasion was useless, she immediately looked sad.

As he spoke, he turned into a look of misery, and said:

"But now, I just don't want to!"

The reluctance of Yingchun moved Tanchun a little.

"Second sister...you..."

In the middle of the conversation, Tanchun couldn't bear to persuade him any more.

Seeing that Tanchun no longer tried to persuade her, Yingchun quickly asked:

"Tan girl, I know you have always had the most ideas, so help me think about it, how can I not marry?"

Tanchun pondered for a moment before saying:

"When I was dealing with the affairs of the mansion, I heard that the Elder Master used the money of Mr. Sun, but now he has failed to accomplish anything, and he still doesn't want to return it to others, so I had no choice but to agree to the other party's marriage proposal."

As soon as these words came out, Yingchun's face turned pale.

It involves money and power transactions, and she is just a filler.

Under such circumstances, if you really married.

How can I gain a foothold in my husband's house?
She was originally soft-tempered, and if she had any more opportunities, it would be in the other party's hands.

I'm afraid the days ahead will be even more difficult.

"If he can pay back his money, Mr. Sun may not insist on marrying you."

Hearing Tanchun's words, Yingchun said urgently:

"How much silver?"

Tanchun sighed and said:
"Oh, I heard that there are 5000 taels."

During this time, Sun Shaozu came to visit several times.

Although they didn't make a fuss, they inevitably yelled twice.

The servants naturally spread the word.

"Hi~!"

Upon hearing this number, Yingchun suddenly took a deep breath.

If the Jia Mansion was at its peak, 5000 taels would not be a big deal.

Let alone him, even the little girls in the mansion know the current difficulties of Jia's mansion.

5000 taels is not a small amount for the current Jia Mansion.

Seeing the despair on Yingchun's face, Tanchun couldn't bear it, and said:

"Actually, there is a way, but I don't know if you dare or not."

Yingchun heard the words, quickly grabbed Tanchun's arm, and said anxiously:

"What way, let's talk about it first."

Tanchun sighed and said:

"Either ask Lian's second brother. After all, he is your own brother. He can't say that he has paid money, so I can help you with a few words."

"Either ask the old lady to return the money, the old man will naturally understand."

The two paths she mentioned are actually the same.

Tanchun handles the affairs of the government, so he knows that Jia Lian has private money.

Not to mention Jia Mu, how many people are thinking about her private property.

If these two people are willing to help, they only need to return the money.

At that time, Jia Amnesty might not be willing to marry Yingchun for nothing.

However, these two people may not be willing to pay the money.

"I……"

Yingchun hesitated.

She knows her weight...

Well, insignificant.

On these two sides, one is the elder brother and the other is the grandmother.

Even if she looks pitiful, it is estimated that three to five hundred taels can still be paid.

But 5000 taels, I'm afraid it's...

When Tanchun saw her appearance, he knew she was in trouble,

Suddenly thought of something, immediately smiled and said:
"Besides, there is actually another way,"

Hearing the words of Yingchun, it is bright in the eyes,
She rekindled hope again, and looked at Tanchun expectantly.

"The way is to find Sister Bao."

Tanchun smiled and said:
"Both the Feng family and the Xue family are very rich. It's no problem to take out 5000 taels. It just so happens that you borrowed money and used it to pay off the debt."

As soon as these words came out, Yingchun's face flushed red.

She stared at Tanchun, and said with a face of embarrassment:
"I'm serious, but you still make fun of me!"

Seeing this, Tanchun squinted at her and said:
"What I said is also serious. You just want to go to Feng's house. Isn't this an opportunity?"

Yingchun stuttered when she heard the words.

"I... I... I... When did I say I was going to Feng's house? I just don't want to be sold to a soldier!"

"Ah!"

Tanchun sneered, and said indifferently:
"Then you just keep talking hard and wait for the master to make arrangements."

With that said, he got up and wanted to leave.

"Don't, don't!"

Yingchun didn't even think about it, this is Qiushuangzhai.

Where can Tanchun go?
She was flustered for a moment, and hurried forward to hold Tanchun down, gritted her teeth and asked:
"You just tell me what to do?"

"Pfft!"

Seeing her appearance, Tanchun couldn't help laughing, saying:

"Sister Bao is soft-hearted, as long as you tell her heart, she will definitely help you."

Speaking directly from the heart, on the surface it means telling Baochai about it.

In fact, Yingchun also told about her crush on Feng Yibo.

"How do I say that?"

When Yingchun heard this, she immediately looked embarrassed.

At this time, she also lost the unwillingness just now, and instead returned to her usual self.

I saw Yingchun's timid face, and said in his mouth:

"I can't...I can't say I want to go to her house, right?"
