Chapter 129 Xue Pan's Little Abacus
Xue Baochai has a straightforward character and elegant and clear character, but she also has the kind of calmness and pragmatism that several girls from the Jia family and Lin Daiyu do not have in them. She is the kind of calmness and pragmatism that is necessary for the standard ladies in feudal society.
However, no matter how elegant and pragmatic Xue Baochai is, she can't accept it when she hears the agreement between Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang.
Fortunately, Aunt Xue loved her children very much. Mrs. Wang wanted to ask Xue Baochai to be a concubine for the incompetent Jia Baoyu, so Aunt Xue naturally couldn't do it!
Immediately, I gave birth to Xue Baochai's decision to see her!
As Aunt Xue's series of decisive actions came down, even with Xue Baochai's temperament, she was still unable to adapt for a while.
Then, I ran to Lin Daiyu to hide!
...
After Jia Jing and Lin Daiyu chatted for a while, they got up and went to the outer study room.
After all, today Xue Baochai came to Lin Daiyu to chat and relax. It was not the same thing that she had been there.
Outside study room.
Thinking of the villa in the palace where you saw yesterday in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Jing felt aroused his heart and ordered people to call Luluo.
He asked, "This time, the villa in the neighborhood was built next door. Which one was the one who was supervised?"
"The one who returned to the Marquis and supervised the construction of the relatives was Mr. Zhen of Ningguo Mansion, Mr. Lian of Rongguo Mansion, and Lai Da, the butler of Rongguo Mansion."
Hearing Lai Da's name, Jia Jing's brows frowned slightly.
Ten years after his rebirth, the book "The Red Mansion" I read in my previous life has become much blurred, but some records about the Lai family still pop up in my mind.
Immediately, Jia Jing instructed Lai Fu: "You go and check it secretly. This time, the mansion is ordered to build a private courtyard. Can anyone secretly reach out for such a large amount of money?"
"yes!"
Lai Fu took the order.
...
After a while, another servant reported outside, "Marty, Mr. Xue Pan and Mr. Xue are here!"
"Call him in!"
After a while, the bamboo curtain in the study room outside was lifted, and Xue Pan stepped in, "Brother Jing, please call the manager of the Green Willow Villa and send me a batch of some seasonings. The shop has already sold out!"
Jia Jing smiled and said, "Brother Xue just went to find Pang Shengrong like this, and it's worth a trip to him!"
Xue Pan stomped his feet, "Why didn't I look for it, but Pang Shengrong said that it was Brother Jing that you ordered before, saying that you would release some fixed seasonings every month, and do hunger marketing.
Now he would rather wait for Curry to get moldy when he gets grinded and prepared things, than put them in the shop and make money!”
Upon hearing this, Jia Jing couldn't help but slapped his forehead and smiled: "That's what he said last summer. I didn't expect that he has been leaving the military camp for so many years, so Pang Shengrong is still so sarcastic! I don't know how he managed his family business in the first place!"
Immediately, Jia Jing took out a piece of letter paper, dipped it ink, and wrote a few words on it.
After blowing the ink traces dry, Jia Jing handed it to Xue Pan and said, "Brother Xue takes this to Pang Shirong, and he will naturally hand over Curry's seasoning to you!"
"It's still Brother Jing who is happy!"
Brother Xue Pan praised Jia Jing.
Gu looked around again, and Xue Panshen came forward mysteriously and asked in a low voice: "By the way, Brother Jing, do you have any plans to take a concubine?"
"Take a concubine?" Jia Jing was stunned when he heard this, "Why did you say this?"
"Brother Jing, if you want to take a concubine, you might as well consider my sister!"
Speaking of this, Xue Pan couldn't help but sigh, "I was so stupid that my sister was not elected to the palace. Now it's because of our business identity as a merchant. I asked my sister to be so angry that she was scolded by others for nothing. It's really...ah..."
Sigh again.
Seeing this, Jia Jing comforted him: "The big brother of the Xue family doesn't have to do this. Everyone has their own fate. Is it a blessing to lose his fortune? Maybe I will be glad that my original choice will be! Aren't it all bad things?"
Hearing Jia Jing's comfort, Xue Pan thought of his mother's actions early this morning, and couldn't help but shook his head and sigh in his heart.
With these relatives of her family comparing, her mother looked down on the declining lords and nobles, and ordinary families were not taken seriously by her, and she only thought about finding a son-in-law from those high-ranking families.
But how can those high-ranking players be so easy to climb up?
Which wealthy family is willing to make the daughter of a merchant family a wife with the infamy of greed for money?
So in the end, it’s just a concubine’s place!
But even so, the Xue family will inevitably worry about whether they will be gnawed clean with the leather and bones!
…………
However, after Xue Baochai left in the morning, for Baochai's marriage, Xue Pan, who had always been extremely filial, even argued with Aunt Xue for the first time for a long time.
Finally, during the dispute, Xue Pan subconsciously said: "I searched around and found that if I wanted to marry into a wealthy family, I would be a concubine for them. In this way, it would be better to consider the Jia Jing brothers next door. At least they take good care of our family!"
When the thoughts come true, it is like a prairie fire, and it is unstoppable.
"Yes, Brother Jing has excellent looks, character, and abilities, and has no bad temper or bad habits. And at a young age, he is already a big boss in the court, not to mention that he has earned the huge business of the Wuhou Mansion by himself..."
Xue Panyue said that his eyes became brighter and even Aunt Xue couldn't help but feel a little moved on her face.
Aunt Xue also knew in her heart that marrying Jia Jing, who is a good-father, is much better than most other choices!
However, Aunt Xue, who knew the difference between her wife and her concubine, still hoped that Xue Baochai could be brought home with three books and six rituals.
So, with the last bit of obsession in her family, Aunt Xue continued to ask someone to see Xue Baochai for her relationship; while Xue Pan volunteered and came to Jia Jing to find out the story based on business matters.
...
At this time, Xue Pan felt a little disappointed when he heard that Jia Jing had no intention of taking a concubine, but was embarrassed to say it clearly, so he repeatedly instructed: "If Brother Jing has plans to take a concubine, he must consider my sister!"
How could Xue Pan suddenly have the idea of marrying Xue Baochai to her as a concubine? But seeing Xue Pan nagging all the time, Jia Jing smiled and said, "Okay, if I have plans to take a concubine, I will definitely consider Sister Xue!"
When Xue Pan heard this, he smiled and said, "Then let's just say that!"
After saying that, he hurried away with the letter.
In the study, Jia Jing smiled and shook his head. As Xue Pan said something, he couldn't help but have a lot of messy thoughts in his heart!
