Chapter 929: Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu (92)
Aunt Xue fell silent.
Xue Baochai smiled and continued, "Perhaps my dear aunt already had this plan the moment we stepped into the capital."
We just didn't notice that at the time.
Ever since my older brother had that accident.
Mother, think again about how Auntie treated us.
In particular, we chose to move back.
In my aunt's eyes, it was something that was destined to happen.
"What do you mean by destiny?"
Aunt Xue said indignantly, "We didn't promise anything."
Since she looks down on my daughter and me.
They just want to get rid of us by giving us a concubine.
They also need to ask us if we're willing.
At this point, she stared intently at her daughter, "Baochai, from now on, keep your distance from Baoyu."
And don't go to his yard anymore.
Don't talk to his maids too much when you meet them.
We can't afford to mess with them.
"Mother, I understand."
Xue Baochai nodded gently, "If she were Baoyu's principal wife, I would consider it."
If that's not possible, my daughter would rather become a concubine to a man who holds real power.
A daughter should not only think about herself.
I also need to think about you, my mother, my elder brother, and the Xue family.
My daughter would never choose to become Baoyu's concubine.
"That's fine, that's fine."
Aunt Xue finally felt relieved and began to plan for her daughter, saying, "Baochai, we mother and daughter don't know many people."
It's not easy to plan things out on your own.
We can ask your uncle to help you get introduced to someone.
Your uncle has a lot of powerful and influential connections.
I can find you a family that's easier to manage.
As long as you have the man under your control.
"It will be much easier for you to get things done."
"Let's talk about it then."
Xue Baochai did not refuse, knowing that her uncle knew many military generals and powerful figures.
If one were to truly choose to become a concubine.
She definitely wants to choose the best.
Of course, deep down she still thought that Jia Baoyu couldn't find a wife.
He eventually married her as his principal wife.
This is the result she truly desires.
"If you don't want to choose someone from outside."
Aunt Xue glanced at her daughter and continued, "We can also choose one from the Rongguo Mansion."
"Who?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Baochai looked surprised, "Who else is in the Jia family?"
"You silly girl, have you been bewitched by Baoyu?"
Aunt Xue glared at her, annoyed. "Have you forgotten Jia Lian?"
He is now a fourth-rank official, serving as the Right Councilor of the Ministry of Revenue.
With the support of Lin Ruhai, the Duke of Jin, he will be able to climb up the ranks sooner or later.
Your cousin Fengyatou really married a good man.
She's really going to enjoy the good life for the rest of her days.
besides……"
Aunt Xue glanced at her daughter again, "The title of nobility in the Rongguo Mansion belongs to the eldest son's family."
Jia Lian is both the eldest son and not the eldest son.
The title will definitely be his in the future.
Think about it, he himself was a minister and also held a noble title.
In truth, he is hundreds of times better than Baoyu.
Hearing her mother's words, Xue Baochai fell silent again.
You wouldn't believe it until you hear it, and it's quite a surprise.
So it turns out that Feng's man is so outstanding.
A fourth-rank official in the capital was someone she could no longer aspire to.
Now he's the man of my cousin, who's the same generation as me.
But she had to go to great lengths to scheme for the identity of the legitimate wife of a dissolute young master who had no official rank.
The more I think about it, the more heartbroken I become.
The more heartbroken I feel, the more I think Jia Baoyu is incompetent.
Even if you marry a man like that and become his legal wife, you'll still have no chance of advancement.
"Baochai, did you hear what I said?"
Seeing her daughter lost in thought, Aunt Xue assumed that she was reluctant to part with Jia Baoyu.
After all, the two had been together for more than three years.
She herself wouldn't believe there wasn't a shred of affection involved.
Now I hope my daughter can escape this hellhole.
She could only continue to persuade her softly, "Baochai, your mother is only thinking about your future."
Although Jia Lian only had Feng Yatou by his side.
He will take another concubine sooner or later.
Choose someone you don't know very well.
It's better to just pick someone you're familiar with.
Besides, you and Feng are cousins.
Even if she's very unhappy, she won't torture you.
If it were another man's legal wife who were tormenting the concubine to death, you would suffer a lot even if your life wasn't in danger.
Your child will not be in any danger.
Unless Feng Yatou really has no shame.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to face her family, or any of us.
Think about it yourself, is that really the case?
"Mother, I will consider it."
"it is good."
Aunt Xue smiled with relief, "No matter what the future holds."
Your coming-of-age ceremony is approaching.
I still need to discuss this with your aunt.
We'll make it as lively as possible for you.
It would be best if more people came to support us.
Find some good fabrics.
I've been working on a new outfit these past few days, so people won't look down on me.
"Mother, I know."
……
I heard Xiaohuzi relay the story.
Li Siqi looked surprised. "No way."
The plot has gone completely off track?
"It's not exactly crooked."
Little Pot laughed, "At least Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai's choice is still the Rongguo Mansion."
Although the character shifted from Jia Baoyu to Jia Lian.
In the end, it's still about harassing the Jia family.
"Uh!"
Li Siqi didn't know what to say. "It seems Wang Xifeng is about to explode again."
"Yeah, she's going to be so angry she'll die."
Little Pot laughed gleefully, "If Xue Baochai really gets entangled with Jia Lian..."
It would be quite a show if these two cousins were to fight.
"It's beautiful, but I feel a little sorry for Wang Xifeng."
Li Siqi laughed and said, "Who knows how many good shows will be caused when facing the troublesome Xue Baochai."
"What does this have to do with us?"
Little Pot raised its chin. "Master, you wouldn't be feeling sorry for Wang Xifeng, would you?"
"Can't talk about it."
Li Siqi responded, "Jia Lian already had concubines by his side."
Although Ping'er, who was by Wang Xifeng's side, was not a concubine, there was actually no difference between them.
In the past, Wang Xifeng kept a tight rein on things, and Jia Lian was afraid of being tricked even when he was working outside.
He dared not take concubines indiscriminately.
Now that he has returned to the capital, his position has been secured.
Given his philandering nature, he will take a concubine sooner or later.
As for who it is, that's hard to say.
"If Xue Baochai were to come to us at this time..."
Xiao Huzi chuckled and said, "Jia Lian will definitely take her into his household."
As for whether Wang Xifeng was willing or not, Jia Lian wouldn't care.
As long as Wang Xifeng still cared about her status as the wife of a fourth-rank official, she wouldn't dare to go too far.
After all, few men in the capital city don't have concubines in their harems.
If this really causes Jia Lian to lose his position.
Wang Xifeng will definitely be the one who regrets it.
"Wang Xifeng isn't stupid; even if she makes a scene, she won't escalate it."
Li Siqi laughed and said, "Besides, she already has children, so even if Xue Baochai entered the inner courtyard, it would be different."
She still has ways to control the other party.
Of course, it all depends on how fiercely the cousins fight.
As long as even one person is ruthless.
Jia Lian's backyard will never be peaceful.
"hey-hey."
Xiao Huzi chuckled twice. "Wang Xifeng is no pushover, and Xue Baochai is no weak woman either."
If these two cousins really were in Jia Lian's backyard.
You'll never have peace in this lifetime.
