dream of red mansion

Chapter 742 No blessing
In Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang's courtyard, she talked to Aunt Xue alone.

"You mean, the old lady is going to promise Miss Lin to Baoyu?" Aunt Xue asked.

Madam Wang nodded.

"To be honest, with Miss Lin's strength, I would definitely not agree to it, but the old lady said that now that the Lin family has received a lot of grace, after Baoyu married Miss Lin, it would be beneficial to Baoyu in the future, so I was embarrassed. "

When facing her own sisters, Mrs. Wang spoke with less worries.

Aunt Xue thought about it, she had always heard how close brother Qing and girl Lin were. Although they were brother and sister, they were so old.Lin Yatou looks like that again, if things go on like this, it's inevitable that Brother Qing won't be tempted.

If Jia's mother really promised her to Baoyu, it seems that there will be no such worries.

"Then sister, is she willing to help them both? In the past, when I saw Baoyu's child, he was very fond of Lin girl. If so, he would probably be very happy."

No matter what Aunt Xue thinks in her heart, there is always no problem with her words, and she will not overstep her.

Mrs. Wang obviously consulted with Aunt Xue because she was caught in a dilemma.
"If Lin Yatou and her father lived a long life, I would agree, but Lin Yatou is in poor health, lost her mother since she was a child, and will soon lose her husband, so she is unlucky.

If I agree, won't I harm Baoyu? "

In the eyes of Mrs. Wang and other feudal wives, finding a daughter-in-law is never about whether the son likes it or not, but whether it is helpful to the son.

In fact, if she hadn't known that the emperor loved Lin's family and made Daiyu the head of the county, she wouldn't have thought about it at all!
In her opinion, Baoyu is the son of the Rongguo Mansion and Yuanchun's younger brother, and his uncle Wang Ziteng is also a minister of the imperial court and a leader in the army.Who is not worthy of such a distinguished status?Marrying Daiyu, who has no blessings and poor health, is obviously a disadvantage.

Poor health means that it will be difficult to bear children in the future, which is the most unacceptable for Mrs. Wang.

But Mother Jia loves her granddaughter dearly, and it is difficult for her to refuse if she wants to make the two into a pair... and she also thinks what Mother Jia said seems to be reasonable, but she just feels unwilling...

Aunt Xue almost understood Mrs. Wang's thoughts. She said: "Sister, don't forget that the ancestors of the Lin family were also generations of nobles. When it came to Lin Yatou's generation, but she was only a seedling. The houses are all the dowry of Miss Lin.

Besides, girl Lin and her father are unlucky, but Baoyu will enter the officialdom sooner or later.Lin Yatou's status as the county lord will also be of great help to him. What if the emperor thinks about Lin Yatou and her father again in the future, and gives extra favors to promote him?Didn't my sister think about this benefit? "

"This……"

Mrs. Wang remembered, Lin Ruhai had been a patrolling censor for eight years, and with his many generations of princes, how rich should his family be?From this point of view, it seems that it is really a good marriage...

As for the favor of the Lin family, Mrs. Wang didn't take it seriously.In her opinion, if everyone is dead, what kind of grace is there?Besides, Baoyu depends on his sister's favor, so why should he rely on the Lin family!
Seeing that Mrs. Wang was still not satisfied, Aunt Xue herself was a little speechless.No matter how expensive Baoyu is, he is just a son of a good family background, and he will not be able to win the title of Rongguo Mansion in the future, it is the property of the big house of Rongguo Mansion.

Do you still dislike Daiyu's identity as the county magistrate?Sister, do you want Baoyu to marry a princess back?

Aunt Xue didn't quite understand.

How did she know that Mrs. Wang had already heard from other places that the probability of Yuan Chun being sealed off is very high, and Wang Ziteng made a great contribution this time.She felt that her precious jade should be matched with the best woman in the world!

Daiyu's status is noble, but her lack of blessings and poor health are flaws, and she always cares about it.

Aunt Xue has said everything that should be said, and only Madam Wang can think about this matter herself.However, she felt that this matter would most likely be possible, because as long as Mother Jia had the heart, she was just discussing it with Mrs. Wang in secret. If she made up her mind, Mrs. Wang would not be able to refuse!Although it is said that the marriage of children is decided by the parents, but Mrs. Wang is determined by Mrs. Jia, how dare she refuse?

After talking again, Mrs. Wang finally decided to agree to Jia's mother's wishes for the time being, and then write a letter to ask Jia Zheng, and then discuss it at that time.

When they came out, they were going to pay their respects to Jia's mother's courtyard again.Before reaching the Rongqing Hall, I saw the little girls running wildly around, shouting as they ran, "We've given you a marriage, the emperor has given you a marriage!"

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang were surprised, and hurriedly grabbed a little maid to ask.

"Ma'am, Concubine Ann. It is rumored that the emperor gave Miss Lin a marriage..."

"Give it to whom?"

"Give it to the second master!"

Mrs. Wang's complexion changed. Could it be that Mother Jia asked Yuan Chun to invite her? The so-called discussion with herself was not sincere at all. She had already planned everything?
After the servant girl finished speaking, she was about to run away, but suddenly remembered that she didn't speak clearly enough, there are several second masters in the family!
"They all said that the emperor gave Miss Lin, oh no, it was the Anning county lord who gave it to Qing Erye!"

"Madam~"

Tong Xi hugged Aunt Xue.

"I, I, I'm not, it's okay!"

Aunt Xue's complexion was pale, she didn't dare to think deeply at all, she said her goodbyes to Madam Wang before walking back.

Staggering footsteps.

After turning away everyone's attention, Aunt Xue shook off Tong Xi's hand and said anxiously: "Go quickly, go to your uncle quickly, and ask him to go out and find out, what's going on?"

Aunt Xue was very upset.

How could it be Brother Qing? He is engaged to Baochai!They are just short of the last big gift, and they will officially become husband and wife.

Aunt Xue wouldn't be worried if it was another woman, she knew that Jia Qing was the Emperor's favorite, and it was normal to give him one or two court ladies, divas and the like.

But how could it be Daiyu?A few days ago, she was conferred as the head of the county by the emperor himself, and today she is given to someone else to be a maid, concubine?This is absolutely impossible!

Could it be that the emperor wants to take the marriage away for the Lin family?
This is what Aunt Xue is most worried about.

To snatch a kiss is to snatch a kiss!This kind of thing usually happens when powerful people bully ordinary people.

Although the Xue family was not considered a powerless commoner, but facing the emperor, they naturally had no temper at all.If the emperor took the marriage for the Lin family, let alone the Xue family, even the Jia family would not dare to say a word.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Aunt Xue immediately went to Hengwuyuan, Grand View Garden after driving away Tongxi.

She is also a woman, and she knows how desperate it would be if this kind of thing happened to her!
On the other side, Mrs. Wang looked at Aunt Xue who left in a hurry, and she also had some worries in her eyes.

"Jin Chuan, follow up and watch. If you need anything, call someone to come back to me immediately." After all, she is a sister, and she still cares about Aunt Xue very much.

When Jin Chuan left, Mrs. Wang sighed.Baochai is her niece, if something like that happened to her, she wouldn't bear it.But she couldn't help, so she had to go to Rongqing Hall to see if Mother Jia knew something.

After entering the Rongqing Hall, Mother Jia showed nothing unusual, and she even looked happy. Seeing her, she said, "Forget what I told you last night, and pretend I didn't say anything. Baoyu is not as lucky as his brother, and I can't stand Yu'er." , and now, the emperor has betrothed Yu'er to Brother Qing."

Mrs. Wang's heart sank, it turned out to be true.

"Then, what about Bao girl?"

Jia Mu glanced at her and said: "My lady sent someone to spread the news that the emperor had sent an order to Lin's mansion this morning to enshrine Yu'er's father as the Duke of Fu, and to give Yu'er to Qing Ge'er as a servant. Second lady!"

"Second lady?"

Mrs. Wang couldn't understand.

Jia Mu said: "This is a letter from your mother to the family. You should read it too!"

Mrs. Wang looked at it with doubts, and after a while, she was taken aback: "The lowest title? Is it true that Brother Qing has such a great contribution?"

They all knew about Jia Qing's meritorious deeds, but when they thought about it, Jia Qing, a child, ran to the border. It is estimated that Wang Ziteng valued him and deliberately gave him the opportunity to make meritorious deeds easily.

Even if they read the good news, they might not know how much Jia Qing contributed.What's more, they didn't read the good news at all, they just heard about Jia Qing's meritorious deeds...

"Since the empress said so, then it's true. But don't say it. Before the emperor's imperial decree has been sent to the house, it will be detrimental to the empress!" Taboo.

But it was clear that Mother Jia was too worried.If Emperor Zhengqing hadn't taken the initiative to tell her, Yuan Chun wouldn't have dared to spread such information home.

"Yes, daughter-in-law remembers..."

Where does Jia's mother remind, Mrs. Wang cares more about Yuanchun than Jia's mother.

But she still couldn't believe it was true: "So, brother Qing is really going to become Lord Hou?"

Jia Mu frowned and said, "Could it be that you are confused, can there be a lie in what the empress said?"

Mrs. Wang quickly admitted her mistake, saying that she had said something wrong, and read Yuan Chun's letter carefully.The letter was very short, and it only said that in order to reward Jia Qing for his great achievements, Emperor Zhengqing not only wanted to promote him to the title, but also imitated the ancient emperors and bestowed Jia Qing with a second wife.

As for why Daiyu was chosen, it was not mentioned in the letter.

However, it is already a fact.

Now, the capital may have already spread the news.
