Fun Kan Red Mansion 301: Serendipity, Aunt Xue looks at the poor daughter, forced to be Baoshan, lady Xing is happy to have a golden turtle son-in-law
A storm caused by Zi Juan's temptation of Jia Baoyu finally passed. After Jia Baoyu recovered from his illness, Zi Juan returned to Xiaoxiang Hall to talk to Lin Daiyu about his sincerity and sincerity, and also told him to make plans early.
Purple Crane's worries Lin Daiyu had already been there, and she thought about it far deeper than Purple Crane. If there is a way, it is not so troublesome. Zi Juan's words only made Dai Yu unable to sleep at night and wet the pillow with tears.
After a storm, Aunt Xue's birthday came again, and there were congratulatory gifts from Jia Mu down. Lin Daiyu also prepared two kinds of needles and threads to send over. But jia baoyu and jia baoyu both did not come to congratulate. Both people are "recuperating" and can't pick.
Xue Pan was not at home at the time, and Xue Tadpole, as a nephew, was out for his aunt Zhang Luo to entertain the Xue family's men, and he also made a fuss for a few days before he gave up.
Here Cao Xueqin's pen sharpens and inserts an unexpected plot.
It turned out that Aunt Xue had taken a good look at Xing Xiuyan's character early in the morning, and decided that she was a daughter who was "elegant and stable, with a jingjing skirt" and wanted to marry as a daughter-in-law.
Note that at that time, the Jia family had three girls outside, Sanchun and Daiyu were not counted, and Aunt Xue was interested in Xing Xiuyan instead of Li Wen and Li Qi, which was actually quite "unexpected". The Li family's family lineage is much better than the Xing family,and Aunt Xue is obviously "giving up the best to take the second".
Aunt Xue's daughter-in-law, Xing Xiuyan, did not "pursue" the daughter of the Li family, because the lintel of the Xue family was too low. The daughter of the Li family is eligible to marry into the Rongguo Mansion, and the son of the Xue family is not qualified to marry, and the door is not right!
The Xing family was once also a large clan, but it had long since fallen. Xing Xiuyan's parents were even more defeated, and could only be regarded as a broken settlement. Xiuyan is not everyone's boudoir, only a small family jasper, if there is no Lady Xing and Rong Guofu, Aunt Xue may not want it. This is the naked reality.
Xing Xiuyan's advantage is that she has a "quiet and self-guarding" personality, not the kind of frivolous daughter who cannot be kept. Coupled with the poor background, it is more acceptable and adaptable to the declining family situation of the Xue family. It is far better than marrying a rich woman and pampering herself.
However, Aunt Xue wanted to marry Xing Xiuyan, but she didn't just look at her character. And what she meant at the beginning to ration Xing Xiuyan to Xue Pan was debatable.
On the one hand, Xing Xiuyan is indeed a good woman, and if she really wants to become Aunt Xue's daughter-in-law, she can also worry a lot. Good daughter-in-law Wang Sandai, Aunt Xue is satisfied.
On the other hand, Xing Xianyan was too poor to give Xue Pan any help. This made the Xue family unable to gain any benefits. For the Xue family, who are on the verge of bankruptcy, it means little.
But the reason why Aunt Xue insisted on "marrying" Xing Xiuyan was also very simple, that is, to marry the Jia family.
At that time, Jia Baoyu was "crazy", and Bao Dai's marriage was revealed to the world, making Jin Yuliang's marriage extremely passive. Even if Jia Mu did not make the decision, could Lady Wang bear Jia Baoyu's death to force Fei Lin's sister not to marry? The answer goes without saying no.
Aunt Xue was quite devastated by this. At this time, Xing Xiuyan entered the curtain and became another "road" for her.
Although Xing Xiuyan was poor, she was Lady Xing's niece, Jia Shu's "niece", and Jia Lian's cousin.
Xing Xiuyan is poor, but the "resources" are surprisingly good. The aunt is the hereditary first-class knighthood lady, the uncle is the general of the hereditary first-class knighthood, and the cousin is also the general of the hereditary second-class knight in the future, the key is that the "body value" is still low, which is equal to "white pick".
Xue Jialai did not leave the Jia family for several years to marry the Jia family. Xue Baochao's golden and jade marriage is the first purpose, but unfortunately, the current situation is very glued.
Xue Pan himself was not qualified to marry any daughter of the Jia family, nor was he delusional. The Li family will not marry their daughter to their family, and Xing Xiuyan has become a suitable object.
After marrying Xing Xiuyan, the in-laws of the Xue family and the Jia family were further consolidated on the basis of Lady Wang and Wang Xifeng.
Not only that, Jia Mu is the chief matchmaker, and You Shi is responsible for handling it. The ancient "matchmaker" is not like the introduction today. At that time, the "matchmaker" was responsible, and the relationship with the matchmaker was getting closer and closer.
Therefore, it was really wonderful to use Xing Xiuyan alone to further integrate the Xue family into the Jia family.
However, Xing Xiuyan is precisely because of "important" can not be sloppy, her family really has no "interests", Aunt Xue is wanting and "disgusted", and afraid that Xue Pan will treat her badly. At that time, the two parents will not be beautiful when they become enemies.
It just so happened that Xue Tadpole and Xing Xiuyan had the same appearance, and they were a pair made in heaven and earth. Not only can the Xue family and the Jia family climb the relationship, but there is no need to "sacrifice" Xue Pan, and there is no need to worry about Xue Tadpole treating Xing Xianyan harshly. After all, Xue Tadpole is more like Xue Baochao's brother, which is good.
Therefore, Aunt Xue resolutely went to consult with Wang Xifeng. Sister Feng is well aware of the character of her mother-in-law, Lady Xing, although she also feels that it is a good marriage, she still has to plan slowly.
So when Jia Mu came to see Sister Feng, she took the opportunity to mention it, saying, "Aunt Xue has something to ask the old ancestor, but it is not easy to open her mouth."
Wang Xifeng knew that others told Lady Xing about this matter, and there must be many problems. If you don't get it right, you're not human inside or out. Only Jia Mu's contract can be smooth, she said that Aunt Xue's request was difficult, and she was not afraid that Jia Mu would "not help".
Moreover, Sister Feng used "Aunt Xue" instead of "Aunt Xue", which was from the position of herself and the Wang family.
Courting is the right thing, and Wang Xifeng usually calls Aunt Xue from Jia Lian in public. But the right thing to call the aunt is not sloppy.
Jia Mu smiled and said, "What's so bad about this?" That's a great thing. When I talk to your mother-in-law, I am afraid that he will not rely on it? "Because he came back to the room, he immediately ordered someone to come and invite Lady Xing to come and make a guarantee for the mountain." Lady Xing thought about it for a moment: The Xue family has a good foundation, and now it is very rich, Xue Tadpole was born well, and Jia Mu was hard to protect the mountain, and the plan was calculated.
The fact that Jia Mu joined Aunt Xue in asking for Xing Xiuyan was also easy to understand. First, Wang Xifeng has already spoken out that both sides are suitable, and there is no reason not to "complete".
If it were not for Xue Tao but Xue Pan, Wang Xifeng would not have taken charge, and Jia Mu would not have participated.
Second, Aunt Xue's intention to ask for Xing Xiuyan's intentions was clear. It is also a golden jade marriage this road is really a bit difficult.
Jia Mu clearly objected, and Jia Baoyu used a "madness" to confirm that he was not Lin Daiyu and did not marry.
If Jia Mu objected, there was also Wang's wife Jia Yuanchun who was under pressure. But Jia Baoyu "does not marry", who can do anything? Even if she reluctantly marries, the husband and wife will not be harmonious in the future, will Aunt Xue really bear to push her daughter into the fire pit? She couldn't do that either.
Jia Mu saw the current situation clearly, of course, she was "responsive" to Aunt Xue. The Xing family is really too poor, and it is also a good choice to marry Xue Tadpole. Otherwise, Xing Xianyan really didn't know who was "spoiled". At least Jia Mu saw that Xue Tadpole was a good child.
(Fifty-seventh time) Jia Mu ordered someone to call you mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Jia Mu told him the reason, and they were busy with each other. Jia Mu commanded, "You know all the rules of our family, and there have never been two relatives who have competed for respects." Now that you are cooking for me, you must not be too careless, nor should you be too expensive, and you will return to me with the affairs of his two families. Yu Shi busily agreed. Aunt Xue was overjoyed, and came home to write an invitation to ning mansion. You Shi was well aware of Lady Xing's temperament, and she did not want to take care of it, so she had no choice but to respond to Jia's mother's own instructions. Only Lady Xing's will to act. Aunt Xue is an indispensable person, but it is easy to say. That's not to mention.
Jia Mu is a "big matchmaker" and You Shi is a "matchmaker". Ancient marriage required "three media and six appointments", also known as "three books and six rites". Among them, the letter of appointment, the gift, including the follow-up kiss and the lottery, all require the matchmaker to run before and after the busy work.
Jia Mu can't run errands, and it is most appropriate to have You's cuisine in China. Wang Xifeng was not sick or suitable to do this, and You Shi was the right person.
However, this matter also reflects a point, that is, Bao Dai's marriage lacks such a "matchmaker", if there is a suitable person, Jia Mu will not have so much headache.
Since the Jia family came forward to help Aunt Xue, will she "return the favor"?
To find out what happens next, look at the next breakdown!
