Chapter 25 Red Mansion 23
The unmarried girls have all left—well, the maids don’t count.
Ms. Zhang then told Mrs. Jia Shi and Mrs. Wang about Jia Zhen's mischief with her two wives and sisters.
When Mrs. Wang heard that Jia Zhen pushed the woman she was tired of to her nephew, she was so angry that she turned the beads in her hand.
"Young Master Liu hit you too lightly." Mrs. Wang said, "Zhen'er should be taught a lesson more."
Jia Shi nodded: "It's a pity that his father has passed away, and no one can control him anymore."
Although Jia Zheng and Jia She are Jia Zhen's elders, they can't control Jia Zhen.
Jia Zhen is the head of Ningguo Mansion, not from Rongguo Mansion, and she does not accept the control of people from Rongguo Mansion at all.
Jia Shi even regretted working with Jia Zhen to help Prince Yizhong.
Can a character like Jia Zhen achieve anything?
After experiencing the incident with Sanjie You, Liu's mother felt that Liu Xianglian's marriage should be settled as soon as possible to prevent him from being missed by other unscrupulous women.
But Liu Xianglian promised that he would marry a stunning woman. If she was not good-looking, he would not want her.
Mother Liu has a big head, how can there be so many stunning beauties in the world?
Liu Jiaying: "The aunts in Rongguo Mansion are all stunning."
Of course Mother Liu knows that the girls from the Jia family are good-looking.
But Jia Yuanchun is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family, and it is impossible for the Jia family to marry another girl into the Liu family.
Liu Jiaying: "I know a girl who is stunningly beautiful and very talented, comparable to Aunt Lin."
Mother Liu became interested.
Mother Liu had met Lin Daiyu and knew how good-looking Lin Daiyu was and how talented she was.
No serious girl from the Jia family can compare with Lin Daiyu, and only Xue Baochai, a girl from the Xue family, can rival her.
But the Xue family girl has already entered the palace.
Jia Yuanchun asked her daughter: "What kind of beauty do you know, little girl?"
Liu Jiaying said loudly: "She is really a beauty. Mom, you have seen her before."
< br>Jia Yuanchun Doubtful: "Have I seen it?"
Liu Jiaying: "Yes, it is Xue Baoqin, the second girl of the Xue family! My ancestor liked the second girl Xue very much, and asked her grandmother to adopt her as her goddaughter."
Jia Yuanchun suddenly realized: "Baoqin is indeed good-looking, talented and knowledgeable."
Mother Liu was moved after hearing this.
If the second girl of the Xue family is really as good as Jia Yuanchun says, she can be married to her younger son.
They don’t care that Miss Xue comes from a merchant family.
As long as the girl has a good personality and good education, it is enough.
Moreover, the dowry for a girl from a merchant family is very generous.
The younger son can only get 30% of the family property after the family is divided, so it would be better to marry a daughter-in-law with a generous dowry.
Mother Liu was about to ask not to find a matchmaker to go to the Xue family to propose marriage, but Jia Yuanchun said, "But sister Baoqin is already engaged."
Mother Liu was disappointed.
Liu Jiaying: "But I heard that the family who was engaged to Aunt Xue didn't want to fulfill the engagement at all."
Jia Yuanchun: "Did Ji Qiu say it again?"
Liu Jiaying: "No, I heard it from passers-by when I went out to buy candied haws. Those two people seemed to be servants of the Mei Hanlin family. Oh. , Mei Hanlin is the head of the family who is engaged to the Xue family." Jia Yuanchun frowned: "Why do the Mei family want to regret the marriage? Haven’t you heard from the Xue family?”
Liu Jiaying: “It’s possible that the Xue family doesn’t know either.”
Mother Liu: “The man wanted to regret the marriage but didn’t tell him. Does the woman want to drag her down so that she can’t wait any longer and take the initiative to break off the engagement?”
Liu Jiaying gave Liu's mother a thumbs up: "Grandma guessed it right."
Jia Yuanchun thought for a while, and asked Baoqin to call Jiqiu, and asked Jiqiu to inquire about Mei Hanlin's family.
Baoqin is also her adopted sister, but she cannot be bullied.
Two days later, Ji Qiu told the women of the Liu family what he had learned.
"The Mei family is indeed planning to use delaying methods to make the Xue family voluntarily cancel the engagement. The family has already packed up and is preparing to leave the capital. Mr. Mei has sought an official position."
"The marriage between the Mei family and the Xue family was decided when Mr. Mei had not passed the Jinshi examination. At that time, Mr. Xue rescued Mr. Mei, who was in despair, and sponsored Mr. Mei to go to Beijing to take the exam. Mr. Mei was grateful to the Xue family for saving his life. It’s settled She decided to marry her son to Miss Xue Er.” My son, I came up with the idea of dragging Miss Xue Er away. The girl’s family’s youth cannot be delayed, but it doesn’t have much impact if the man gets married a few years later.”
“Master Mei just didn’t object to this idea.”
"Ha." Jia Yuanchun sneered, "If you don't object, you agree. What an ungrateful thing."
Mother Liu also despised the Mei family.
This is what it means to be a bitch and still build a memorial arch.
After becoming rich, he treated the daughter of his savior like this, he was like a wolf with blank eyes!
Ji Qiu continued to talk about how disgusting the Mei family is: "Then Mr. Mei already has a concubine's eldest son, who is the niece of Mrs. Mei's natal family. Mrs. Mei made the decision to make her niece her son's second wife. But this case The matter has not been announced to the public except the Mei family and Mrs. Mei’s natal family. Mrs. Mei also wants to marry a noble daughter-in-law for her son to support Master Mei and Mr. Mei.”
Mother Liu and Jia Yuanchunzhen. Disgusted.
Mother Liu: "No wonder Mrs. Mei is not in a hurry for her son to get married. It turns out she already has a grandson in her arms."
Jia Yuanchun said disgustedly: "You still want to marry a daughter-in-law of noble birth? Just dream. If there is a family with a good family background, how can they find relatives in the Mei family? Daughters are all married high, how can they marry low?"
Liu Jiaying encouraged: "Let's tell the Xue family about the Mei family's plan, ask the Xue family to cancel the engagement quickly, and then make an appointment for the second uncle." Dear."
Jia Yuanchun pressed her daughter's little head and said, "Don't mess around."
Liu Jiaying wrinkled her little nose: "I'm not messing around with my second uncle. Second aunt, do you still want to see him coveted by other women?"
Mother Liu and Jia Yuanchun looked at each other.
Jia Yuanchun: "We adults will handle this matter, just leave it alone, you little girl."
"Why is this? I have provided you with information, you can't burn bridges by crossing the river." Liu Jiaying said angrily shouted.
Jia Yuanchun patted her head: "You have learned idioms well, keep working hard."
Liu Jiaying: "..."
In the evening, Jia Yuanchun sent Xue Baoqin and Mei The family affairs were told to Liu Heng, and Liu's mother and her plans were told.
Upon hearing this, Liu Heng knew that it was his daughter who had traveled through time and space.
But this arrangement is not bad. Xue Baoqin is good-looking and talented, which is very suitable for her younger brother who likes good colors.
Liu Tiao: "Let me mention this matter to your eldest brother first, and ask your eldest brother to remind the Xue family."
Jia Yuanchun sighed: "The book says, 'When there is a righteousness, more people will be slaughtered. Dogs, heartless Most of them are scholars. I didn't believe it at first, but first Jia Yucun and then Mei Hanlin were ungrateful, so I had to believe it."
