Chapter 515 But Xia Jingui, there is only one...
At midnight, Rikain
In the wing room, there is a tall table under the porch window, candles are silently burning, the room is bright and bright, and there are people everywhere.
Aunt Xue was sitting on the kang, holding a handkerchief in her hand, which clearly wrapped two crystal clear moon-shaped earrings, and said with emotion: "The craftsmanship in this palace is different from that outside, and the material Should it be a crystal tribute from the West?"
Baochai sat on a pear-blossom wooden chair beside her, and Ying'er brought out a teacup and said, "Girl, drink some tea."
Baochai let out a "hmm", stretched out her small white greasy hand, held up the teacup, and glanced at the earrings in her mother's hand.
She also likes it a little bit, but it's not easy for her to wear such earrings.
Aunt Xue handed the earrings to Tong Xi and asked him to wrap them up as they were, with a hint of emotion on her face, and she said in an envious tone, "My dear girl, why do you think your sister-in-law is so blessed? After all, she is the only one who can get along with you." A little older, but this is a first-rank order, and there is also a reward from the empress in the palace, these are all rewards that others can't ask for."
Baochai put down the teacup, an inexplicable expression appeared on the girl's plump, snowy face, and she said softly, "Mom, every mountain looks higher than the other. If you always envy others, you're just looking for trouble."
"It's not that I'm envious, but I'm just thinking that the only important thing for us women in our lives is to get married. Brother Heng's daughter-in-law is married to the right person, so she is so young and decent." Aunt Xue Said in a complicated tone.
While speaking, he stared at his own daughter, who was dignified, sitting there quietly like a white crabapple.
She couldn't help thinking that her daughter was originally going to be sent to the palace to be a concubine, but now she seemed to be delayed.
"Mom, everyone has their own destiny, you can't force it." Hearing this, Baochai pursed her pink lips, and there was a fleeting gloomy look in her bright eyes.
"Yeah, but I'm not reconciled to my mother." Aunt Xue sighed and said with emotion.
As he spoke, he frowned, and a light flashed in his heart, he said: "I want to, or let Brother Heng help you find a good marriage, he has a lot of contacts outside, and all the friends are officials and ministers Yes, Mother actually doesn't ask for anything else, even if the generals are good, I will be content with a few grades of imperial orders in the future."
Baochai:"……"
Knowing that her mother saw him helping his uncle plan to get promoted, she became a little bit tempted again.
In fact, how could Aunt Xue give up her daughter's marriage?
I just gave up the idea of "Golden Jade Marriage", but the idea of finding a good husband-in-law for my daughter has never been given up, and even Baoyu in the original book, who has neither title nor fame, can be taken by Aunt Xue. After seeing Yipin's imperial order, he had the thought of "I will do what I do".
As Aunt Xue spoke, she felt more and more appropriate, and said: "I'll ask Brother Heng to be my host, and talk to her properly."
"Mom, why are you thinking about such a thing again? This family has only been quiet for a few days, and I'm talking about my business again." Baochai was startled, frowned, and said angrily: " Besides, we are not related to him, so why should Brother Heng help us?"
Well, when she walks through the door, there will be a relationship.
Perhaps it was some kind of coincidence, what the girl was thinking was almost the same as what Qin Keqing was thinking.
"What do you mean by non-kinship? Brother Heng also called me aunt. Besides, he didn't call my younger sister long and younger sister that time. If you say that, the second master won't help."
"After all, it's separated by one floor. It's my uncle and Jia's family." Baochai was speechless for a while, and persuaded.
"My dear girl, you can't say that. Brother Heng is capable." Aunt Xue smiled and said, "I've also seen some tricks now. Things in and out of the two houses still have to be done." Look at brother Heng, as long as he is willing to agree to help, this matter will be mostly settled. He also helped with our family’s business from the imperial business and your brother’s Beijing camp. It can be seen that he is a As long as he agrees to the matter of friendship and your uncle's promotion, there will be nothing that cannot be done. I am thinking about you. If you ask him to take care of you, it will be better than a woman like me. Backyard thinking."
Apart from Jia Heng, Aunt Xue really couldn't think of other channels to help her daughter's marriage.
My elder brother was okay before, and he was a good official, but now he is not doing well.
Baochai pursed her cherry lips, her moist apricot eyes twinkled, and she couldn't laugh or cry.
Secretly thought, what you said is not wrong, he was worried that it would definitely happen, but how could he agree?
But that's good too, it's better than Mom going to find her uncle or cousin, and then there will be some troubles.
Thinking of this, Youyou sighed.
Aunt Xue looked at the girl with curvy eyebrows and plump cheeks, stood up, took her daughter's hand, and said in a low voice: "My dear girl, you are the one I can't let go of. If you are like your big sister... In short, let's It's absolutely impossible to fall to that point, it's really not possible, even if Mom abandons this old face, she still asks Brother Heng to find you a good wife."
As Baochai gets older and is nearly fifteen years old, unlike the original book, Aunt Xue aimed at Baoyu, the "uncle of the country" in advance, and she can still hold her breath, but now Baoyu is no longer in the scope of Aunt Xue's consideration.
Then the marriage of my daughter also needs to be put on the agenda. It's okay to be in trouble with other things, but when I have free time, I start to think wildly.
This is the same reason that Mrs. Wang cannot be idle.
But Xia Jingui, there is only one of them... The doppelgänger is useless.
Baochai's cheeks, which were as white and greasy as pear pistils, blushed, changed the topic, and said softly: "Mom, brother should be back in these two days."
These words are almost the same starting point as Jia Heng.
Aunt Xue frowned when she heard this, she was diverted her attention, and said happily: "Yes, today I am only celebrating Brother Heng's daughter-in-law being granted the title of Madam, and I forgot to ask Brother Heng , I have to ask tomorrow, to see when I will pick him up."
"Didn't he just say that tomorrow he has to go to the morning court, even if he is free, it will be in the afternoon or evening." Baochai said with a strange voice, clutching her handkerchief.
Speaking of which, she hasn't seen him for a few days, and he's busy with the case these days, so it's not easy for her to come to her.
Thinking of this, the golden lock under the skirt felt a little hot, making my heart flustered.
Aunt Xue nodded and said: "Then go ask tomorrow, you and brother Heng will bring your brother back as soon as possible."
Baochai nodded and said nothing else.
The mother and daughter were talking, but they didn't realize that it was getting late. Aunt Xue covered her mouth with her hands, yawned and said, "It's getting late, my dear girl, let's rest. I'm tired today, go back and rest." .”
With that said, Baochai saw him off and left the wing room.
At this time, Wen Xing, Baochai's other maid, brought a basin of steaming water, came up to her, and said in a low voice, "Miss, wash your feet, it's time to go to bed."
Baochai responded, and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Have you fed the rabbit yet?"
Jia Heng gave Baochai a pair of rabbits before, now it has been a long time in the blink of an eye, they have grown up a lot, and there are signs of giving birth to cubs.
"I'll be feeding it right after dinner." Wen Xing replied slowly.
Baochai saw that she was hesitant to speak, and Yinger seemed to have something to say to her. She looked at Wen Xing and said, "Put the hot water here, and you should rest earlier. Let Yinger serve me." .”
Wen Xing didn't doubt that he was there, so she left the house and went to rest.
Ying'er bent down to put shoes and socks on for Baochai, and said worriedly, "Girl, it's not a problem to hide it like this. My wife may come up with something for the girl's sake. How about the second wife?" Like."
As Baochai's personal servant girl, she naturally paid close attention to Jia Heng and Baochai's affairs, and even helped watch the wind.
Baochai's moist apricot eyes seemed to be slightly rippling, she sighed softly and said, "It's only a day if this matter can be delayed, I will discuss it with him tomorrow."
From what I saw today, I realized his painstaking efforts. Only by marrying her as his wife would he have the possibility of asking for a royal order. If he was a concubine, he would have nothing.
As for the meritorious conferment of the county king, it has not been three or two years, no one can say for sure, but if she is the main wife, then she can follow him to be the first-rank wife.
At that time, she and sister Qin will be able to equal... well, she will always respect sister Qin.
Ying'er Liuye slender eyebrows drooped slightly, she lowered her voice, and came up with an idea: "Since the uncle said, if it is really not possible, then tell the wife, the girl might as well explain to the wife?"
When she thought about it, she was talking with her wife, most likely the wife was also happy to see the result.
"It's not that day yet, wait for him to make meritorious service and ask the palace for an imperial decree." Baochai shook his head lightly and said in a low voice.
She hadn't thought about it, but she had to reveal the news slowly, otherwise, if Mom went to force him to give him a title, or advertised that the government knew everything, it would be difficult for her to see him at that time.
In fact, it's pretty good now, although it's a bit sneaky.
Ying'er faltered in a low voice: "The girl and the uncle should also pay attention, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."
As for the latter words, I blushed as I spoke.
What to be afraid of, nothing more than the fear that the two of them will fight a fire, and the fetus will be secretly married. At that time, if the marriage fails according to the order, it will become a marriage according to the son.
Moreover, the two are intimate and unlocked, there is no guarantee that they will not...
Baochai's mind is shrewd, and she understood the meaning in an instant while he was hesitating, her heart skipped a beat, her face as white as a pistil was as red as a cloud, and she said angrily, "You...what are you talking about."
But I can't help but think of that day in the carriage, that finger thrusting, touching the heartstrings, and that thrilling...
Suddenly, she felt her tender body softened, and her moist almond eyes appeared shy, so she didn't dare to think about it.
Ying'er's cheeks were also a little flushed, and she said in a low voice: "Anyway, it's good that the girl and the uncle know what's on their minds, don't have any more..."
It seems that Uncle Heng is not such a deceitful and irresponsible apprentice, if he and the girl are husband and wife, he should also be responsible to the girl.
"You still say it! Don't...don't say it." Hearing the word "yes", Baochai felt her heart beating wildly, her cheeks were burning like fire, and she said in embarrassment.
In just a few words, there was a picture, and the girl even reflected in the lake of her heart that she was pregnant and had a big belly.
She is also...too shameless.
Ying'er also knew that her daughter was really going to get annoyed, and it was hard to get along with her, so she stopped talking and helped Baochai dry her feet, and waited for Baochai to go to bed to rest.
……
……
But on the other side, Li Wan, accompanied by the maids Suyun and Biyue, returned to the courtyard where he lived with complicated thoughts, and sat in front of the dressing table in the inner room, with a beautiful and gentle face reflected in the bronze mirror.
Behind him, Suyun helped Li Wan remove the hairpins on his head, not many, and after a few strokes, the bun immediately loosened like a waterfall and fell over his shoulders, black and green, soft and beautiful.
And the Huaxin young woman in the mirror, compared to before, her face without makeup is a bit more sad.
With a slender hand, gently stroking the corners of his eyes and cheeks, Li Wan looked at himself in the mirror, momentarily dazed.
Mrs. Yipin Gaoming, maybe she won't be able to seal it in her life, right?
Suyun said: "Grandma, wash your feet, it's time to go to bed."
Li Wan withdrew some of the disappointment in his heart, gave a soft "hmm", then got up and sat on the bed.
Under the service of Suyun and Biyue, I untied the blue embroidered plum blossoms on my body, took off my shoes and socks, and revealed a pair of white and tender feet. I put them in a copper basin, and suddenly I saw that it was steaming, and I saw that it was painted with Impatiens. The jade toe of the flower juice, the five toes are slender and white, red as bright as clouds.
This young woman with Huaxin wears elegant clothes, but through a cluster of candlelight, one can see that a small red peony is clearly embroidered on her inner garment.
While helping Li Wan wash his feet, Suyun said with emotion: "Grandma, this grandma Heng is really lucky, she just passed the door not long ago, and now she is a first-rank imperial order."
What happened today not only had a big impact on Feng Wan's headed wives, but also caused a lot of emotion in the eyes of the maids.
Under Li Wan's two curved willow-leaf eyebrows, a cluster of candlelight on the high table reflected in her beautiful eyes seemed to shake slightly, and she murmured in a low voice: "Yes, Yipin Gaoming."
But Suyun didn't understand the complexity of the tone, he smiled and said jokingly: "When Lang Ge'er becomes an official in the future, he can also ask the imperial court to give his wife a royal order."
But she didn't know that her grandma not only wanted to seal the imperial order, but was also aroused by what she had seen before, which aroused the extravagant thinking of sealing a first-rank imperial order, and even faintly lost her mentality.
If you look at the Rong Mansion, Jia's mother is the wife of Chaopin, and Mrs. Wang, who is Li Wan's mother-in-law, is nearly fifty years old, but she is only a fifth-rank imperial order. Li Wan thinks that she will have a fifth-rank mother-in-law in the future, which is already Satisfied and comforted for life.
But there happened to be a young girl who was younger than double ten and who had just passed through the family, and she was granted a first-rank imperial order so easily.
When he was ordered by the second rank before, he could barely comfort himself, didn't he have not been promoted to the first rank yet?
She is also the one whose husband left early, otherwise it wouldn't be like this...
But now such self-comfort is somewhat pale.
This is why Eileen Chang said: "Be famous early, come too late, happiness is not so happy."
Of course, most people only remember that sentence, the one that leads to a woman's heart is...
"Suyun, Brother Lan should be back this month, right?" Li Wanyu was absent-minded for a moment, then suddenly said softly.
Suyun said softly: "Grandma, it's time to go back."
Li Wanyu paused for a moment, pursed her cherry lips, and said in a low voice: "I was thinking about asking another host, let Lan Er have a meal with Uncle Heng, and help him with his homework?"
The fact that the master solicited the maid's opinion in this way was actually just some kind of hesitation and hesitation.
Suyun didn't think much about it, and said: "Master Heng has been busy recently, so he may not have time to come over."
"That's right, but I asked in advance, seeing when I'm free, Brother Lan and Uncle Heng seem to be having a great conversation." Seemingly dissatisfied with Suyun's words, Li Wanxiu frowned and said in a low voice.
She just wanted to talk to someone, and she didn't see anyone here at ordinary times... No, it's Brother Lang who is so old, so he needs elders to take care of him.
This young widowed young woman once reached out to touch the key on Pinger's waist when she was drunk in the original book. Some people say it is the yearning for power, some people say it is the pursuit of lust, maybe it is a combination of both.
In fact, in the Daoxiang Village where Li Wan lives in the Grand View Garden in the original novel of the Red Chamber, there are apricot trees planted, which spew fire and steam, and are gorgeous like brocade.
The garden was full of spring and couldn't be closed, a red apricot came out of the wall.
The one who asked Baoyu to beg for red plums from Miao Yuxue was also... Li Wan!
Suyun nodded, helped Li Wan wipe his feet, then brought up hot water, and then Biyue put down the curtain, and waited for Li Wan to get into bed.
As the lights were blown out, the wing room fell into darkness again, only a round of bright moon outside the window, and the moonlight quietly passed through the window screen, falling on the dressing table and high table, and shining like water on the floor tiles inside the house. The swaying bamboo shadows like algae can be seen indistinctly.
Li Wan was lying quietly on the bed at the moment, covered with a brocade quilt, with his eyes slightly closed, and turned over.
As soon as he closed his eyes at this moment, the imperial make-up appeared in front of his eyes, wearing it on his body, as if he was receiving the envious eyes of the women in the back house.
But after a while, it was expelled for reason.
It is very unlikely that she will be able to do it in this life.
The night is as cold as water, and all sounds are silent.
I don't know how long it took, but Li Wan only felt insomnia, and when he listened attentively to the two maids outside, he seemed to have fallen asleep.
Li Wan stood up, bit his lips slightly in the dark, and sighed faintly.
After all, closing her beautiful eyes, she tried to think of her husband's face when he was young.
But a few years later, those fragments of memories about the newlyweds have become blurred, but the scenes of joking with the young man year after year, appearing in front of his eyes like a revolving lantern.
From going to the wicker alley to get back the borrowed book, to the sonorous words and the indifferent look on the face.
In the end, it was fixed in the first month. After inviting Dong Dao'er, under the lights, the scene of talking and laughing with Lan'er.
Li Wanfang's heart skipped a beat, her hands paused slightly.
How could she be so unruly... Thinking of him at this moment?
Still thinking about it for a while?
No, she is not that unruly person, she is thinking about her husband, and he insists on jumping out.
He straightened his mind, closed his eyes, and looked back at the past with his ex-husband. However, for some reason, the boy's face was like a nightmare that could not be dispelled, lingering in his mind all the time, and...
I don't know how long it took, Li Wan opened his beautiful eyes slightly, and thought about it for a while, but after a while, his face looked lost, and a sense of guilt and desolation came to his heart.
What did she just... do?
How could she think of a man other than her husband?
No, she must have been dreaming just now.
But...it was not a dream just now, and his cheeks were hot like fire.
After calming down, he took out the handkerchief and cleaned up some traces. At this moment, the wings of his nose moved, and his brows were frowned, clearly smelling the peculiar smell in the curtain.
Secretly thought, I am afraid that tomorrow Suyun and the others will...
Biting her lower lip, she tiptoed up and lifted a corner of the drapery carefully to let in some of the sandalwood incense from the outside.
