Chapter 868: The self-written scroll is intriguing

  Chapter 868 is intriguing

  Jia Zheng sat in the rosewood official hat chair with a complicated expression, as if he was thinking about something, and forgot to put down the teacup in his hand.

  Ms. Wang next to her also had an indescribably dull expression on her face, as if unwilling, disappointed, and a little regretful.

   "The matter of Baoyu should also be considered." After a long time, Jia Zheng put down the teacup and let out a sigh of relief.

   "It's time to think about it, but..." Mrs. Wang sighed with some resentment, "Then we have to choose a good family for Baoyu."

Before Yuanchun canonized the imperial concubine, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang had not considered Baochai. Although they had never mentioned it to Aunt Xue, Jia Zheng and his wife felt that the two sides had a tacit understanding. I think maybe Baoyu can find a better family.

Especially now that Baoyu is obsessed with writing books, "Thirteen Stick Monks Rescue the King of Tang" has become the most popular serialized legendary novel in "Daily News", and some storytellers in the capital city have also begun to intercept this legendary story The part of this book is used as a storytelling manuscript, and several theater troupes are also planning to use this legendary story novel as a script to adapt it into a drama. This is a very difficult breakthrough.

  Now Baoyu is also well-known among scholars in the capital. Of course, this kind of fame is somewhat different from the reputation gained from reading imperial examinations and current policy theory, and it is more appreciated by some literati.

  Of course, some of them are officials in the court, but the angle of appreciation is purely from the perspective of literature and art, and has nothing to do with others.

And now Yuanchun's situation in the palace and Jia Zheng and his wife also more or less understood, which made them feel a little bit drummed, but before they could react, the Feng family's eldest son was also the second wife, and then asked someone He came to ask for a marriage, and Ying Zhen, the right servant of the household department and the secretary of the middle school.

   Even the Mei family, Mei Zhiye, who divorced Baoqin, had to bow his head and say hello to Guan Yingzhen when he saw Guan Yingzhen.

They are all Huguang scholars. If Zheng Jizhi, Guan Yingzhen, Chai Ke and others are regarded as the leaders of Huguang scholars, the real bosses, Yang He, Mei Zhihuan, Mei Zhiye, Wu Liangsi and others can only be regarded as Huguang scholars. The backbone of the scholars, and He Fengsheng can only be regarded as a rising star.

  Official Yingzhen came to propose marriage, and he must have said hello in advance, otherwise Wang Ziteng would not have gone to Xue's mansion to wait.

  Xue Pan still couldn't afford such a visit, so the prince could only reluctantly follow.

  Niangqin is uncle, so it makes sense.

  But this made Jia Zheng and his wife feel a little uncomfortable, but they couldn't say anything yet.

Wang Ziteng has always supported Xue Baochai's marriage to Feng Ziying. He has always had this idea a few years ago, but due to various reasons, he failed to achieve his wish. Later, he gave up. It's done.

Jia Zheng and his wife know that they can't blame Xue's family. This girl lives in your house. You have been silent, and she can't wait forever. They are seventeen years old and should be married long ago. Gossip, but I didn't expect this marriage to marry such a good fortune.

  Of course, Jia Zheng and his wife never considered that the Xue family had no intention of marrying the Jia family from the beginning, and Baochai never thought of marrying Baoyu.

  They didn't know that Aunt Xue was actually waiting with some kind of entanglement in her mind.

She was afraid that the Jia family really wanted to propose marriage and she couldn't refuse. After all, the Jia family knew the whole story and Baoyu was passable, but she was also afraid that if Feng Ziying, the son of the Feng family, could really hold the second wife and persuade his mother. ?

  In addition to feeling that Baochai failed to be his daughter-in-law, Jia Zheng actually felt a little bit sorry for his own daughter.

  In Jia Zheng's view, Tanyatou is actually not inferior to Baochai in all aspects, except that she was cast in the wrong baby.

  He even vaguely knew that Tan Yatou had a crush on Feng Ziying, and Feng Ziying also had affection for Tan Yatou, but...

  Thinking of this, Jia Zheng felt even more regretful. He also knew that it was impossible for Tan Yatou to marry Feng Ziying as his wife.

   Just being a concubine is absolutely unacceptable to Jia Zheng. The concubine is a compromise, but Feng Ziying didn't marry a daughter of the Jia family, so how can Tanchun be a concubine? Even without seeing Xue's family, they decided to let Erfang Baoqin be his concubine.

  All kinds of thoughts coiled in his heart, which made Jia Zheng deeply moved, but the problems before him made him helpless, who was not good at this.

"A good family, what is a good family?" Jia Zheng tried his best to calm himself down, "I'm afraid they won't agree to the daughters of literati civil servants, and we may look down on those from small families. Xun's inside, ma'am, would you like it?"

Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth, "Didn't Mr. Feng's family promise to find a good family for Baoyu? He is now in a prosperous place, and he is going to Yongping Mansion to become a colleague. Even Brother Tiao can let him introduce a good family." Why do you treat Baoyu so harshly in relation to your marriage?"

"What harsh treatment? It's inexplicable!" Jia Zheng was also a little angry, and his beard trembled. "Can you compare with Baoyu? Fang's daughter has an elder brother who is a censor, but he is only Nanzhili A country girl whose wealth is only one generation old, if you really want to give it to Baoyu, would you like it?"

Mrs. Wang stopped talking. If she really wants to give the Fang family daughter to Baoyu, I'm afraid she will be afraid again. How can Xue Biao compare with her own Baoyu? Woolen cloth.

   After a long time, Mrs. Wang said again: "In short, Feng Jia Dalang said that he would find one or two for Baoyu, and my elder brother is also in Beijing recently, or should I ask elder brother to decide..."

"Brother-in-law is in charge, I'm afraid it's our honorable woman." Jia Zhengchang sighed, "Choose and choose, or play around here, why not order Bao girl earlier? Knowing the root and the bottom, ..."

   "Yuanchun's letter is not very agreeable to find Baoyu among honorable women, but this is a difficult task." Mrs. Wang also sighed.

  When Jia Zheng and his wife sighed and sighed, they only hoped that Wang Ziteng could find a suitable family for Baoyu, but Wang Ziteng was sitting in Xue's mansion waiting for Guan Yingzhen to come.

   To be honest, Wang Ziteng couldn't believe it when his sister came to tell her about it.

  Of course he knew about Feng Ziying's concubine. He knew about it when he was in Shandong, and when he returned to Beijing, he was filled with all kinds of news.

He knew before that Shui Rong wanted to betroth his sister to Feng Ziying, and the daughter of Dongping County Wang Mu's family also had this intention, but he didn't expect that the Feng family would choose his niece so cleanly that Wang Ziteng couldn't help it. Some couldn't help but want to see how much magical power this niece has to make Feng Ziying fall in love.

Looking at the slim Baochai standing in front of him, Wang Ziteng couldn't help smiling and nodding. It's no wonder Feng Ziying was tempted and dared to confront her mother. I really feel pity for Bao girl, and my sister finally has someone to rely on for the rest of her life. up.

"Well, uncle is very curious how the Feng family persuaded his mother? As far as uncle knows, the younger sister of King Shuirong of Beijing, the youngest daughter of the Mu family of Dongping County, intends to marry the Feng family. Uncle doesn't think the Xue family can compare with this one. The two families are even more estranged, apart from Feng Jia Dalang's determined self-assessment, uncle can't think of any reason."

  Wang Ziteng's question made Aunt Xue smile, but Baochai's cheeks were flushed, and she was twisting her sweat towel with her fingertips, feeling extremely embarrassed.

   "Uncle asked you, Baochai..." Aunt Xue was in a good mood, smiling all over her face.

   "My daughter has only been to Feng's residence twice. The wife and concubine of Feng's family have seen her daughter, and they have a good impression. Ziying also said that he told his wife that he will not marry unless he is a daughter..."

   Speaking of the latter, Baochai was so ashamed that he couldn't go on.

Wang Ziteng laughed loudly, "What's so embarrassing? The Feng family is going to come to propose marriage, and the two families will be in-laws soon. Bao girl, you will also be the wife of Feng's family. Well, Ziying told you when will you get married?" ?”

   Baochai hesitated for a moment, "He only said that he would choose a time in the second half of the year, probably at the end of the year, and he said that he will only go to Yongping, so it is not easy to ask for leave..."

"Well, that's right, he's a co-prefect of the same prefecture now. Zhu Zhiren, the prefect, has been bedridden for a long time, and it's hard to do work in Jingdong's first prefecture." Wang Ziteng narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking of something, "If you marry in the past , girl Bao, do you want to follow me to Yongping?"

   Baochai nodded, "Sister Shen is pregnant and cannot accompany her. Naturally, Baoqin and I will follow."

"Oh? Shen Xing's daughter is already pregnant?" Wang Ziteng's eyes moved slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Baby girl, you should give birth to an heir for the Feng family as soon as possible. The Feng family has three families. So precious."

   Baochai was also so ashamed that she could only nod her head and remain silent.

  While speaking, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and the servants had already run in, "Uncle, Madam, there are people outside the door..."

  The middle door of Xue's mansion opened wide, and Wang Ziteng led Xue Pan out to welcome him.

   "Brother Dongxian, why don't you come?"

   "Brother Ziteng has returned to Beijing?" Of course Guan Yingzhen knew about this relationship, and bowed his hands with a smile, "I happen to have something to discuss with Brother Ziteng, but today I am here for a big event..."

   "Oh? As long as brother Dongxian calls, Ziteng will be there whenever he is called." Wang Ziteng said with a smile.

   "Hehe, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, no matter how urgent it is, it can't compare to today's big event. The Feng family is eager to see through, waiting for my reply at the mansion." Guan Yingzhen also smiled very happily.

  The two entered hand in hand, both laughing and looking extremely happy.

  The entourage also came in,…

   This set of rules is also familiar with the road, Na Cai, asking names, Najib, Na Zheng, asking for dates, each of them has long been prepared, and naturally it is popular in the water,...

  For the Xue family, once this major event is finalized, there will be no worries. However, in the eyes of some people, this is an intriguing and complicated signal.
