The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 219
"What did you say?" Jia's mother couldn't believe her ears. She just said a few days ago that she would marry a girl from the Li family to Baoyu. Why did Jia Zheng tell her in the blink of an eye that Baoyu's future wife had changed? Candidate, how could she accept it.

"Tell me clearly. Didn't you say that you have settled with the Li family? What's going on with the Xia family?"

Faced with Jiamu's cannibalistic eyes, Jia Zheng had to bite the bullet and explain the matter again. After hearing this, Jiamu was so angry that she almost fell down, "You bastard, how can this marriage be such a joke, let me ask you, Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Jia Zheng recounted Mrs. Wang's reasons in a different way. After hearing this, Jia's mother sneered, "You were born by me, so how can I not understand your thoughts? Did Wang teach you to fool me?"

"Mother knows the lesson, but I think what she said is also reasonable. Baoyu is really useless..."

"I don't want to hear this, I just want to ask you, have you ever asked about the character of that girl from the Xia family?"

"This mother can rest assured that the son has sent someone to ask. The girl's reputation can be said to be well-known."

If Jia Zheng couldn't tell the reason, Jia's mother might not be able to notice anything unusual, but he just said that the girl was a hype, which made Jia's mother who knew her son's ability to handle things very suspicious, "You don't even know what to do?" Tell me about who you are looking for and how you inquired about it.”

Jia Zheng didn't take it seriously, and said that he sent someone to question the official media and the people around Xia's house. When Jia's mother heard this, she immediately scolded, "You stick, a girl's house doesn't come out, and the second door doesn't go out." Yes, how did her reputation spread?"

"Ah, this?" Although Jia Zheng was a little dumbfounded, he argued to himself, "Perhaps it was because she had rejected too many marriage proposals before, that's why her reputation spread, if..."

"Tell me, why don't you continue?" Mother Jia sighed bitterly, "I always say that precious jade is useless, so how can you be better? Why did I give birth to you two evils, boss?" You don’t distinguish between right and wrong, and blindly mess around when things happen. And you, you have a head of elm, and you don’t know how to change it at all, this is really a crime!"

At this time, Jia Zheng also regretted that he shouldn't have trusted Wang's words, so he signed a marriage contract with the Xia family in a daze. What if his mother's words were right?He was straightforward, thinking of asking his old lady for help when encountering something, "Mother, what should I do now, this marriage certificate has been fixed, can I return it?"

"Hmph, do you know it's urgent?" Mother Jia gave her son an angry look, and then said disdainfully, "It's just a small family of merchants, how dare they play tricks on our Rongguo Mansion?"

"Will this be bullying? If it gets out, it may affect our family's reputation?" Jia Zheng said hesitantly.

"Okay, let's go, I have my own opinion on this matter!" Mother Jia was already desperate for her son, and she didn't want to argue with him anymore, so she waved her hand to signal him to get out of here.

Mother Jia had a good idea, but as Liu's official matchmaker who came to propose marriage, she expressed her intention of withdrawing the marriage in a threatening manner.But I heard the Liu official media say, "Old Madam, it's not that I don't want to help your family, but that the Xia family is not easy to mess with. I just got the news that Miss Xia belongs to Eunuch Dai in the palace. Be a granddaughter."

"Which Eunuch Dai?" Mother Jia's heart shuddered, with an ominous premonition.Sure enough, what Liu official media said later confirmed her conjecture, "Eunuch Dai Quan who served the Supreme Emperor earlier, the old matriarch also knows that because Eunuch Dai has served the Supreme Emperor all his life, His Majesty now grants him permission to go out of the palace to be honored and raised. I respect him very much, even if the old emperor is gone now, who would dare to offend him?"

Jia Mu was silent for a while, "Then according to what you said, there is nothing to do about it?"

Official Liu shook his head first, and then said good things about Xia Jingui, "Old Madam, let me tell you the truth, this Miss Xia is actually pretty good, I have met her in person, and she is extremely beautiful. , and her family wealth is very rich. As for her reputation, it was indeed the Xia family who sent people to promote it, but that is understandable. Firstly, she wanted to find a good family for her, and secondly, she was afraid that someone would use her to get married. For the first time, take the opportunity to occupy their family's property."

"Hey, you go first, let me think about it later."

"Then I'll take my leave." When the official Liu came to the door, he suddenly stood up again and reminded Jia Mu, "Old Madam, before I came to your mansion today, the Xia family sent me a message that Eunuch Dai was in a hurry. You have to take care of your grandson, so it's best to arrange the marriage within two months." After saying this, she left like a gust of wind without waiting for Mother Jia to reply.

As soon as Liu's official matchmaker left, Jia's mother picked up the teacup and dropped it to the ground. She never thought that at this age, she would be humiliated by a merchant.The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. If she just admitted it like this, wouldn't she be mad at herself?So she immediately ordered to the mandarin ducks at the side, "Go and invite the eldest father, father and son and the second child to me, I have something to say to them."

When several people arrived, Mother Jia explained the matter angrily, and then asked them what they could do. Although the words were true for the three of them, Mother Jia also understood that now in Rongguo Mansion, who are they going to talk about? There may be a way, and it must be Jia Lian, so her eyes are fixed on Jia Lian.

Jia Lian felt uncomfortable being watched by the old lady, and kept thinking of ways to evade it. Fortunately, Jia She stood up and acted as a shit stick as usual, "I said old lady, what can I say about this matter? My dear is the second child. I decided on my own, and he will retire if I want to. Besides, I have heard for a long time that the marriage that the second brother found for Baoyu is not bad. The girl wants to have looks and money, and she is not satisfied. Do you still want to give it to her? If Baoyu can't find a princess, it doesn't matter whether he is worthy or not?"

"Shut up, let me ask Lian'er?"

"Then what did you ask me to do? It's really disappointing. I made an appointment with everyone to see the fans. I don't know if there is still time?" Jia She complained a few words, and went out without waiting for Jia Mu to get angry at him again. out of the house.

Mother Jia wanted to slap herself in the face, secretly blaming herself for being so overwhelmed, she knew that the boss would only piss people off, so she insisted on asking him to add trouble to herself.But when she thought that Baoyu was related, she had no choice but to suppress the evil fire in her heart, put on a smiling face again, and said softly to Jia Lian,
"Lian'er, you have been a good official in recent years and you know a lot of people, what can you do?"

Jia Lian pretended to say, "Old lady, which card do I count on? How can I talk to people in the palace? If Brother Zhen is alive, there may be a way. I seem to remember that he has some friendship with Eunuch Dai." .”

No matter what Jia's mother said, Jia Lian just said one thing, he had no choice, and Jia's mother had nothing to do with this grandson whose wings had stiffened for a while, so she could only reluctantly let him go.When the mother and son were left in the room, Jia Zheng suggested, "According to what the official Liu said, Miss Xia is not bad, or let Baoyu marry her, anyway, Baoyu has reached the age of marriage."

Jiamu pinched the center of her brows and said with a headache, "Isn't there still two months left? I'll think about whether there is another way." Yuanyang on the side interjected, "Old lady, maybe Miss Lin is going to do this. Can help."

Jia Zheng's eyes lit up, and he looked at Jia's mother excitedly. Not thinking of Jia's mother, he smiled wryly, "Why don't I know that looking for Yu'er is useful, but last time Baoyu did something like that, how could I say that? And Yu Even if Er agrees, she still has to ask her husband. Don't you know what happened last time? In my opinion, the Mu family hasn't troubled our family for so long. "

Hearing his mother's explanation, Jia Zheng couldn't help feeling extremely annoyed, "It's all my son's fault. I shouldn't have listened to that Wang's bewitchment, so that I can't get off the tiger now."

"Okay, don't blame yourself. It's time to have a snack in the future. This Mrs. Wang is an idiot, and I don't even bother to mention her. At this point, we can only take one step at a time. I will ask Princess Nan'an again. , to see if she can help. If even she can’t help, I’ll give up this old face and go to the palace to beg the Empress Dowager.” No matter how hard Mother Jia scolded Jia Zheng earlier, when she saw He blamed himself so much that he still felt distressed.
