dream of red mansion

Chapter 681 Reason and maturity

"Hehe, it's nothing, I just remembered that when I was in Suzhou in those years, the girl was still a little kid learning to speak, but now she has become a slim and handsome girl.

In a few years, I don't know which stinky brat will be so lucky to marry you, when the time comes..."

"Aunt~"

When Daiyu heard this, she said in a delicate voice.

"Ha ha……"

Aunt Zhong knew that this was just the shyness of her youngest daughter's family, so she didn't take it seriously, and continued: "It's annoying that our master is so focused on the court's errands, he doesn't pay attention to other things.

According to my opinion, the adoptive son he accepted was not bad, but he wanted to persuade the master to make you two into a couple, and the master also agreed..."

Daiyu shyly put down her needle and thread, but was suddenly taken aback.

Father, did he ever mean that?
Aunt Zhong stared at Daiyu's expression after she said those words, seeing that she had forgotten even her embarrassment and was in a daze, she was even more sure in her heart.

Daiyu really has her heart attached to her brother-in-law...

"Unfortunately, that kid is unlucky, and actually made a marriage contract with a woman from the Xue family."

In Aunt Zhong's voice, she didn't know whether it was regret or indignation.

Daiyu came to her senses, yes, even if her father had this idea before, it is too late now.Father, he is absolutely determined not to allow himself to be married as a concubine...

"Let's not mention that boy, there are so many talents in the world, relying on the official voice of the master, the talent and appearance of the girl, it's not just a prince or grandson who can choose at will.

I heard a few days ago that the eldest son of the Duke of Zhen's mansion is just eighteen this year and has not yet married.It is said that the man was born with a good-looking talent, handsome and extraordinary.His father is also an official in the imperial court like the master, and now he is a councilor of the imperial court's military cabinet, and he also holds the title of first-class earl, and he will be inherited by that son in the future..."

Only the heirs above the title of Super Rank can be called the son of the world.

Speaking of which, Niu Zhan can barely be considered a prince.It's just that compared with the prince and marquis, his weight is much lower, so few people call him that, and he doesn't like others to call him that.

Seeing Daiyu, Aunt Zhong was in a daze, and continued: "The son of the Duke of Zhen is not a dandy himself, he is already a fifth-rank imperial guard Long Jinwei at a young age. And I heard that his man Yunwen Yun Wu, in the future he will definitely inherit his father's behest and become a famous general..."

"Auntie, stop talking." Daiyu finally interrupted.She looked sleepy, and she didn't know how much she had listened to Aunt Zhong's words.

"Auntie, I feel very tired, so I'm going back to my room to rest."

After Daiyu finished speaking, she saluted, then walked out of the gazebo lightly with lotus steps.

Behind him, Aunt Zhong opened her mouth to call, but she didn't make a sound.She could see that Daiyu didn't want to listen to her talk anymore.She was also afraid that if she said any more, the relationship she had managed to maintain with Daiyu would cease to exist in an instant.

……

In the evening, Jia Qing went to Hengwu Garden.

Because Baochai came to visit him in the afternoon, he avoided meeting Princess Xingyue in order to avoid her.

At this time, it is natural to go back and see each other, it is a courtesy.

"Aunt agreed?"

Jia Qing was quite surprised.

With Aunt Xue's conservatism and prudence, Jia Qing was not surprised that she agreed to buy food with money so quickly.

Baochai was slightly dissatisfied with Jia Qing's demeanor.How could she not see that Jia Qing had a "prejudice" against her mother.

"My mother said that although the family was involved in the grain and rice business before, after so many years, it has long been in depression.

She is getting older now, and doesn't have so much energy to toss about those things.

But since you are going to do this, she will naturally support you.Anyway, my brother has nothing to do at home now, so she has told him to come out and help you with this. "

"Xue Pan?"

Jia Qing asked back.

Baochai was slightly angry: "That's my brother!"

So it turns out that Aunt Xue should be thinking of taking advantage of this incident to let herself and Xue Pan get in touch more, maybe it can eliminate the barrier between the two.

It's really hard for her...

"Your brother also agrees?"

It can be seen that Baochai is still quite protective of Xue Pan, and Jia Qing's address is less disrespectful.

"What does he disagree with? He just thinks that life is too boring. Hearing that there is such a big thing to do, he will naturally be happy."

Baochai said so.

In fact, Baochai still has one thing to say.

When Xue Pan heard that Aunt Xue planned to spend 10 taels of silver to buy grain, she became excited.You must know that over the years, in order to prevent him from going bankrupt, Aunt Xue has restricted his finances.

Not only did he require the cashier to report to her every sum of money that Xue Pan took from the account, but also, she must first obtain her consent for the withdrawal of more than 1000 taels of silver.

Therefore, although Xue Pan was not short of money envoys, he had never spent such a large amount of money.

On the contrary, when he heard that the matter was to help Jia Qing, he was not happy at that time.If you want to hoard food and earn money, you can do it yourself, so why must you join forces with the Jia family.

He was stopped by Aunt Xue.He said that if he didn't want to, he wouldn't be allowed to take charge of the matter.

Are you kidding me, I am the head of the family, if such a big move in the family does not go through my own hands, what kind of head of the family am I?
Only then did Xue Pan sullenly agree to Aunt Xue's condition.

In fact, how could he understand Aunt Xue's good intentions.

It is still the first time to ease the relationship between him and Jia Qing.How did Xue Pan understand that the changes in the shopping malls are treacherous, and how is it easy to do business in grain trading...

Jia Qing thought about it carefully, what he wanted was to be able to have enough grain, and to be able to influence the price of folk grain in the future.

No matter who the other party is, as long as there is money, it will be fine.You don't even have to put the food in your own hands, even if the Xue family hoards the food themselves, it's fine.

Because that is also the food reserve that I can influence.

It was also a huge help to his plan.

Of course, it would be better if Aunt Xue was willing to invest money in him.

It really is the mother-in-law who trusts and loves her son-in-law so much.He couldn't love her back, so he had to return this affection to her daughter.

"To die!"

Baochai was frightened by Jia Qing's sudden attack and pushed him away.

Then he realized that something was wrong, Jia Qing was injured now.But looking up at Jia Qing's smiling face, he felt relieved while being annoyed.

Jia Qing wiped his lips, and felt the softness of the plump buttocks he touched just now.Although he was not completely satisfied yet, he knew that with Baochai's keeping his points, he would not make further progress, so he stopped moving and went back to the chair, preparing to leave later.

When Baochai saw the villain calm down, she let go of her suspended heart. After a while, she sat down next to him again and whispered, "I have something to tell you."

"Let's talk." Jia Qing lazily said while shaking the grand teacher's chair.

In fact, he wanted to catch Baochai and come in and shake it with him...

"The princess came over today, and I chatted with her for a while."

Jia Qing paused, then recovered.Casually said: "Oh, what secret did you discover?"

That little girl, apart from playing all day long, she only wants to tease people, so what is there to talk about with her.

Jia Qing closed his eyes and rested his mind, Baochai dared to look at Jia Qing carefully.I also saw Jia Qing's casual expression, and felt relieved...

As long as he doesn't care, that's fine.

Jia Qing opened her eyes, saw Baochai in a daze, and urged, "You said it."

"Oh, I just want to ask you, have you offended anyone in the princess mansion?"

"Offend anyone? No, my subordinates, Niu Zhan, Shao Zilong, and I are all on good terms. The old eunuch Lu Fang looked very polite to me even though he was quite rich in the city. By the way, there was such a little eunuch, I used to scold him when I was in the palace, and then disappeared for a while. Now that I have arrived at the princess mansion, I think that my wings are hardened, and I am against me everywhere.

By the way, what are you asking this for? "

Baochai sighed: "That's it. I heard from the princess that an eunuch heard about that lion and bought it for her on a special trip. It cost a full 8000 taels of silver."

Jia Qing was taken aback for a moment, then sat up with an ugly expression.

Seeing that Jia Qing understood, Baochai stopped talking.In fact, she didn't want to talk about this matter with Jia Qing. From her standpoint, she had no reason to help Princess Xingyue resolve Jia Qing's suspicion.

Because, no matter how good a woman is, she will not have any advantage when facing a girl from the Tian family like Princess Xingyue.

However, she was also worried that Jia Qing didn't know that there was someone beside him who wanted to harm him, so she chose to speak out.

This is her reason and maturity.
