Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 261 Persuading Jia Mu, Tanchun is relieved

Feng Yibo's words made Jia She's heart tense.

He didn't show any emotion on his face, but he was thinking about it in his heart.

Should I give up another 5000 taels?
But 5000 taels is a lot to him.

To Feng Yibo on the opposite side, it seemed insignificant.

Do you want to let another 1 taels?

Just when Jia Amnesty was struggling with how much more to give in, Feng Yibo smiled again and said:
"But my uncle has already spoken, and it's not good for me to be a junior."

In fact, it doesn't matter if it's 3 taels or [-].

With the backing of Jinshan Yinhai in Donghai County, the money is nothing more than a figure.

Of course, even though the money came from a strong wind, Feng Yibo would not spend it carelessly.

However, since the plan of "Golden Escape" was set, he wanted to make things more beautiful.

Spending an extra 8000 taels can be regarded as leaving more room for the two families.

Maybe you can use Jia Amnesty in the future?

In addition, there is actually another reason.

It's just that this matter involves the change of power between the DPRK and China.

Feng Yibo is not sure whether it will reach the level he expected.

Of course, he believed that with the sensitivity of the Jia family, he might not feel it at all.

The consequence of this matter is that the value of the bill of exchange may be involved.

Recently, Feng Yibo has started to get Donghai County to sell the drafts and exchange them for cash in batches.

While guarding against financial risks, you are also preparing for one of your own plans.

Regardless of whether the value of the bill of exchange changes in the end, the cash is still available.

Jia She didn't even go to court on weekdays, so naturally he didn't know about it.

Even if I heard some news from other places, I am afraid I would not think of the money order.

Feng Yibo believes that there are only a handful of people in the court who have this insight.

In any case, Jia Amnesty was naturally pleasantly surprised by the turn of events now.

If the Jia Mansion was at its peak, it would naturally not be short of these tens of thousands of taels of silver.

At the beginning of Yuanchun, visiting relatives, Jia's mansion bought opera actors in the south of the Yangtze River, set up colored lanterns, candles and curtains of various colors.

Just spent 5 taels of silver.

Such an expense is inconspicuous in the whole family visit.

It's just a bigger account.

But now, Jia's mansion is empty.

As the master of the family, he struggled to even have 5000 taels of silver in his hand.

What's more, if you move, you will be in danger?

It has been a long time since Jia Amnesty had more than ten thousand taels of silver.

How could he not be pleasantly surprised that there would be a huge sum of money coming soon?
However, although Feng Yibo agreed to the 5 taels, he said:

"But Sun Shaozu's matter is not easy for me to deal with, and I can't get involved in the army."

Feng Yibo is an official of the Ministry of Rites and has no military power.

The matter of Sun Shaozu was a bit tricky for him.

Either the Ministry of War will come forward for this matter, but it is not easy to remove the real lack of command level.

Or it was Wang Ziteng, a high-ranking military official who held great power.

But now, both Jia Yucun and Wang Ziteng are at the center of the storm.

The two of them must not be in the mood to care about such a thing.

And Feng Yibo didn't want to ask Xingui for such a thing.

So he would naturally refuse Sun Shaozu's matter.

When Jia She heard this, he felt a little embarrassed, and said:

"Tsk! If I can't do this, it will hurt my reputation!"

Finally, someone asked him to do something, but Jia Amnesty still wanted to do it.

He had chased Jia Yucun several times before, but he didn't reply.

Even so, he actually didn't intend to renege on his debt.

I just want to wait for Jia Yucun to take a break before helping Sun Shaozu with the matter.

Of course, if Yingchun married, that would be another matter.

Seeing this, Feng Yibo pondered for a while.

Think about doing your best to get things done.

In order to avoid any accidents on Sun Shaozu's side in the future.

At the moment, he didn't finish his words, only said:

"Well, I have a friend who has a way to the Beijing camp, but the money..."

His friend is naturally Xia Bingzhong whom he hasn't seen for a long time.

Since the incident with Xia Shouzhong, the two of them have somewhat grown up.

Although Feng Yibo never lacked gifts that should be given, but he never saw them alone again.

Now that times have changed, Feng Yibo intends to take this opportunity to try to move around again.

Perhaps, it is also an opportunity for relaxation.

Upon hearing this, Jia Amnesty breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said:
"As long as it can be done, it will be paid from the 5 taels!"

Thinking of the vacancies in the Beijing camp, Jia Amnesty added:
"But no more than five thousand!"

Jingying was originally the domain of the Jia Mansion, and Jia She knew that the shortage there was not cheap.

No matter how particular he is, he can't do business at a loss.

"Well, there is no guarantee of success, I can only try my best."

When the rabbit rises and the falcon falls, the two sides have already reached an agreement.

Jia Lian who was present was still in a daze.

This is too different from what he thought!
Feng Yibo was thinking about welcoming the spring, and wanted to be brought into the mansion as a concubine.

This was faster than Feng Yibo's killing Jia Amnesty, and it shocked Jia Lian.

The main reason is that Feng Yibo didn't let the news slip by at all, which made Jia Lian momentarily unable to react in time.

But now that Jia Amnesty has agreed, what else can he say as an older brother?
Yingchun is also his own sister, so it's a good thing to follow Feng Yibo.

At least Feng Yibo's kindness to him was more or less explained.

And, although not as he thought.

But it did "solve" his complaint, which was that his father had no money to spend.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Jia Lian can only look at Feng Yibo with a complicated expression.

From the beginning to the end, not a word was interrupted.

Afterwards, Jia Zheng got 5000 taels first, and returned home excitedly.

As soon as he arrived at the mansion, he took Mrs. Xing to find Jiamu.

He also asked Jia Lian to call Jia Zheng and his wife over.

After talking about Yingchun, she was no longer allowed to the Sun family, but to Feng Yibo as a concubine.

Jia Mu immediately stared, and said angrily:

"No! I don't agree!"

She really couldn't hold back her face, and immediately rejected Jia Amnesty's suggestion with a cold snort.

Although she was dissatisfied with the Sun family before, she was still the main wife.

Now it's become someone's petty again, even if this person is Feng Yibo.

How can you make Mother Jia accept it?

"Mother, Yibo's future development is limitless, marrying him will only benefit our Jia family."

Seeing Mother Jia's cold face, Jia Amnesty didn't think it was disobedient, and immediately began to persuade:

"Xue Lin's two nieces, although both married into Feng's residence, are outsiders with us after all, separated by Xue Lin's family, how can they not be regarded as in-laws?"

When Jia Mu heard the words, she suddenly became angry and reprimanded:

"Good girl, don't be the main wife, but be a concubine for others? What are you thinking in your head! My Rongguo Jia family can't afford to lose this person!"

Jia She was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, but fortunately he had already thought that Jia's mother would refuse.

He was not annoyed at the moment, but turned to his younger brother Jia Zheng and asked:
"Cunzhou, you advised me not to let Yingchun marry Sun Shaozu, but now I have changed my mind, what do you say?"

"This……"

Jia Zheng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Jia Amnesty to be waiting for him here.

After pondering for a while, he said:

"Yibo is naturally good, but..."

The meaning of this "but" is obvious.

Although he looked down on Sun Shaozu, he didn't want Yingchun to be his concubine either.

"You don't think it's okay to be a concubine?"

Seeing this, Jia She gave him a sideways glance.

Then he directly resorted to his trump card, saying:

"The eldest girl said at the beginning, let's make friends with the Feng family more. Is there a better way than marriage?"

"This……"

As soon as these words came out, Jia Zheng was speechless.

Rong Mansion's biggest reliance is now Yuanchun,
Her words are no less than imperial edicts in Jia's residence.

As soon as these words came out, Jia Zheng couldn't say anything to refute.

Even Jia Mu was lost in thought.

Yuan Chun did say more than once that he wanted the Jia family to befriend Feng Yibo.

She was in a difficult situation in the palace, and Feng Yibo helped her through it.

Later, they "saved" her from embarrassment and escorted her back to Beijing several hundred miles away.

When Yuanchun was involved, Mrs. Wang was moved in her heart.

However, she was not in a hurry to help, but continued to observe the situation calmly.

"All the big girls are interested in Yibo, but our Jia family has only close relatives with him. How can this work?"

Seeing that it was useful to mention Yuanchun, Jia Amnesty hurriedly took advantage of the victory to pursue it, and said:
"Yibo is lucky to have a crush on Yingchun. If she comes to Feng's house, both the main rooms are her sisters, so she won't be bullied."

As he said that, he also took out a gesture of "for the sake of welcoming the spring" and said:

"With her personality of being unable to beat a fart with three sticks, having a sister to take care of her is not several times better than being the main wife of an ordinary family?"

As soon as these words came out, Mother Jia hesitated a little.

Although Yingchun is not taken seriously, she is a girl from the Jia family after all.

He grew up under his knees again, how could he not know her character?

"If it doesn't work, then it can only be assigned to Sun Shaozu, but after thinking about it, I think he is not good enough."

When Jia Amnesty saw that Jia's mother wavered, he immediately began to pour dirty water on Sun Shaozu again, saying:
"I heard that he is extremely lecherous, and all the girls and daughters-in-law in the whole family have been promiscuous. If he goes to welcome the spring, will he have a good life?"

This is a bit of an either/or.

If it was normal, Mother Jia would be able to react slowly.

Since the Sun's family can't do it, then find another one, not just for the Feng's family.

But before Mother Jia could respond, Mrs. Wang interjected again, saying:
"Although we and the Feng family have turned a corner, we are still relatives, and Yibo has never been an abrupt person. When did we ask our Jia family for something?"

Since Yuanchun made Jia's family and Feng's family befriend each other, Yingchun is not the second wife's girl.

Mrs. Wang is naturally willing to facilitate such a beneficial and inexpensive matter.

Seeing that Mother Jia had wavered, she immediately joined in and said:
"Since he said that Taoist Youfang said that only Yingchun can help the Feng family continue the incense, if he doesn't agree, wouldn't it make Yibo feel cold?"

Mrs. Wang's point of view is actually based on what Yuan Chun said that Jia and Feng's two families should be on good terms.

When Jia Zheng heard this, he naturally nodded frequently.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xing quickly echoed:
"Yes, yes, the old lady might as well agree. Daiyu and Baochai are not outsiders, so they will definitely not treat Yingchun harshly."

Although she didn't know why Jia She changed her mind, she usually succumbed to Jia She's despotic power.

Naturally, she would do what Jia She said.

Seeing that her two sons and daughter-in-law were all persuading her, Jia's mother calmed down and said:

"It is said that you as parents agreed, so why ask me this old woman?"

Hearing this is the prelude to promise.

Jia Amnesty rushed the snake to the stick and said:

"What mother said. After all, Yingchun grew up under your knees, so I naturally want to ask your opinion."

Mrs. Xing also smiled, and said:
"Although I am a aunt, she was not born to me, and she was raised by the old lady's side. Naturally, she will listen to you."

Mother Jia sighed, waved her hand and said:

"Don't ask me for my opinion, make up your own mind!"

As soon as this was said, it was agreed.

With the 5 taels basically in hand, Jia Amnesty was very happy.

He immediately bowed to Jia Mu and said excitedly:
"It's fine if you have a mother, and I'll make arrangements in the next few days!"

After finishing speaking, she took Mrs. Xing and was about to leave.

"and many more!"

Jiamu stopped him from behind and ordered:

"The national funeral is not over yet, don't disturb the streets."

Jia She nodded immediately, but didn't take it seriously, only said:

"Understood, after I have an agreement with the other side, I will send someone to take it there in a sedan chair, and then we will have a family banquet and it will be over."

Only then did Jia Mu nodded, sighed again, and said:

"This is just a pain for Yingchun."

It didn't take long for this matter to spread throughout Jia's house.

After hearing this, Yingchun and Tanchun were overjoyed in private, so there is no need to mention it.

When Baoyu heard about it, he knew that he had actually played a guest role as a matchmaker that day.

I also saw that Mrs. Xing had taken Yingchun out of the Grand View Garden after returning to Jiamu.

He became more and more disappointed, often in a daze.

I don't know what to do for a while.

Hearing that he was going to accompany the four maids, he sighed again and said:
"From now on, there will be five less clean people in this world!"

Before that, Baoyu seldom went to Yingchun, but these days, he wandered around Zilingzhou every day.

Seeing the loneliness of Qixuan window, the screen curtain suddenly.

But there were only a few old women on duty at night.

Looking at the Polygonum flowers and reed leaves on the bank, I also feel that they are shaking and falling, as if they are remembering the old people.

It is very different from Su Chang's flamboyant beauty.

So he couldn't help it, and Baoyu sang a song:
"The autumn wind in the pond was cold all night, blowing away the red jade shadow of lotus.

Polygonum flowers and water chestnut leaves are sad, heavy dews and heavy frosts press the slender stems.

I don't hear the sound of Yongzhou knocking chess, and Yan mud stains the chessboard.

The ancients cherished farewell to their friends, but now I am a brotherhood! "

Just now, when I finished singing, I heard someone behind me laughing and saying:

"I haven't seen how nice Second Master Bao and Second Sister are for a long time, but now I'm reciting poems and composing poems to say goodbye."

Baoyu looked back to see who it was, and it turned out to be Tanchun.

Tanchun strolled over and asked with a smile:

"I don't know if I leave the cabinet in the future, will Second Master Bao do the same?"

In front of the elders, Tanchun always called the second elder brother.

Now there are only two of them, but they called Second Master Bao.

The meaning of alienation made Baoyu feel a little uncomfortable.

I also thought that there are fewer and fewer sisters in the Grand View Garden today.

Baoyu also wanted to relax with Tanchun, and said:

"You are my own younger sister, so I will read it more."

When Tanchun heard this, he was surprised at first, and then sneered:

"Heh, now you know that I'm your own sister?"

Baoyu was a little embarrassed when he heard this, so he quickly changed the subject and asked:

"Third sister, why did you lie to me that day?"

When Tanchun heard this, he immediately turned his face away and said:

"Second Master Bao, don't talk nonsense, have we ever lied to you?"

Seeing that she didn't admit it, Baoyu couldn't elaborate.

If it is broken, let people listen to it.

The reputation of the girls in Jia's mansion is over.

Therefore, Baoyu only said:
"Even if you didn't lie to me, you should thank me, right?"

Tanchun understood that he had no malicious intentions, and immediately slowed down his tone, saying:

"We trust you and let you help."

Baoyu also just wanted to ask for credit, but didn't think about asking for rewards.

Tanchun's words were regarded as a recognition of him, and immediately made him feel much more at ease.

At the moment, he was a little carried away and sang:

"The matchmaker under the moon, the red thread leads the two..."

Seeing his careless appearance, Tanchun felt suddenly.

My obsession seems to have dissipated a lot.

Thinking about it at the beginning, Baoyu might have done it unintentionally.

Just because he said something to coax Daiyu, but he still struggles with it till now.

Now that the second sister is about to leave the cabinet, I guess she will be the next one.

Whether he recognizes it or not.

How can it be?

This kind of thing has been kept in the heart, but it is asking for trouble.

At this moment, right in front of Zilingzhou.

Tanchun was suddenly relieved of what Baoyu had done.

When Baoyu finished singing a section of "The West Chamber", she smiled and said:
"When the second sister comes out of the cabinet, the second elder brother will drink a few more drinks on my behalf."

After finishing speaking, he left behind a relieved back.

Only Baoyu froze in place, savoring the change of address.

With his sensitivity, how could he not feel the difference in Tanchun.

It's just that he didn't want to understand why Tanchun changed.

Is it moved by yourself, or is it self-liberation?
Should I forgive myself, or stop worrying?

Think about these.

For a while, Baoyu was in front of Zilingzhou, and became crazy again.
