In the Xue family, Baochai suddenly fell silent when faced with Aunt Xue's question.

She felt that Aunt Xue’s words seemed familiar.

Yes, the relationship between myself and my mother is closer than that of most mothers and daughters in the world. When mother and daughter talk, it is inevitable that the topic of the bride's future husband is occasionally brought up.

With how dazzling the second brother Lian was, my mother jokingly asked her what she thought of the second brother Lian more than once. The difference is that in the past, my mother asked how Brother Lian was as a person, but this time she asked Brother Lian how he was as a son-in-law.

The slight difference caused a huge difference in the shock to her heart.

Baochai's silence made Aunt Xue a little worried, because her daughter's reaction was beyond her expectation.

"Bao girl..."

Aunt Xue was about to explain when Baochai suddenly raised her head and asked: "This time my mother went to Tianjin Wei, why was she able to successfully Brother Lian, please come back. After brother Lian returned to Beijing, he started arranging things for his brother non-stop...

Is the reason behind these things all because the mother promised to take care of his brother's affairs? Is your daughter promised to brother Lian?"

Aunt Xue hesitated for a moment and nodded in vain.

Baochai burst into tears and cried: "How can a mother be inferior to her daughter?"

A cry of accusation pierced Xue like a sharp knife. Aunt's heart. But she ignored her heartache and quickly hugged her daughter and comforted her: "Good girl, don't cry yet. Listen to mother."

Aunt Xue held her daughter's sobbing body with both hands and sighed quietly. Said: "Mom has no choice. Your brother's life or death is unknown. Mom has only this way to save your brother. However, your second brother Lian is an upright man. He said that you are a strong boy. If you don't want to, he will I don’t want to force myself on you.”

Baochai, who was leaning his head gently on his mother’s shoulder, was startled when he heard the sound, and even stopped crying.

Although she could understand her mother's approach, she even had some vague speculations before Aunt Xue said anything. But as a self-reliant woman, she instinctively felt aggrieved that her mother had chosen to sacrifice her in order to save her brother.

Although she was wronged and sad, she knew that she would not and could not disobey her mother's arrangements. The importance of my brother to my mother and to the entire Xue family cannot be replaced by anyone.

As long as she can save her brother, it is worth sacrificing her.

She accepted the result in her heart, but she never thought that her mother would say this, saying that Brother Lian would not force her.

Yes, with Brother Lian’s character and ability, any kind of woman will not be able to get it.Don't bother to do things that take advantage of others. However, if he really helped rescue his brother this time, how could the Xue family repay this kindness?

When Aunt Xue saw that her daughter had stopped speaking, she knew that she had listened to her words, so she took her daughter out of her arms, looked at her again, and said: "So, don't think that your mother is cruel, and don't feel aggrieved. , the final choice in this matter is still yours. Neither my mother nor your second brother Lian will force you.

It’s just that my mother has one more thing to ask you... Do you really want to ask me? Don’t you like your second brother Lian?”

Faced with Aunt Xue’s sudden question, Baochai seemed at a loss. Asking herself, she didn't dare to deceive herself. She admired Jia Lian, because since coming to Beijing, she had seen in Jia Lian most of the expressions of her feelings towards her husband.

Ability, courage to act, affection and righteousness.

She even couldn't help but think of the feeling of being comforted by Jia Lian when she was frightened and instinctively hid in Jia Lian's arms today in the Bingma Division Prison. It was an unprecedented sense of peace.

She could not forget the feeling of nervousness and shame when being held by Jia Lian. At that time, she did not dare to think about the personal relationship between her children, because she and Jia Lian were already married, and she was destined to enter the palace to gain a chance for the family, so she only dared to regard Jia Lian as her elder brother.

At this moment, when Aunt Xue expressed her intention to marry her to Jia Lian, she suddenly realized that when she recalled this, her heart was beating loudly.

She did not directly answer Aunt Xue’s question, lowered her head and said softly: "It doesn’t matter whether he likes it or not. He has Sister Feng and Girl Lin. What does the daughter have in the past?" ?”

No matter the heartbeat, Jia Lian finally married a wife, and she married her cousin. Since she entered the capital, her cousin Xifeng has taken good care of her. If she were... how would she face her cousin in the future?

He loves his cousin so much, and he has Miss Lin, so what does he mean?

Aunt Xue suddenly laughed. There is no better daughter than a mother. She knew her daughter's thoughts and couldn't help but smile: "What's the matter? If you look at it, which of the capable men in this world has three wives and four concubines? Don't talk about capable men, just say The princes and grandsons of the aristocratic families in Beijing all have three wives and five concubines. Today they face the east and tomorrow they face the west. Even if they marry a fairy, they will only be forgotten after three nights and five eves."

"It's rare for your second brother Lian to be affectionate and righteous. Just look at how he treats your sister Feng."

"As for your status... Mom knows that you are strong-willed by nature and don't want to be weaker than others. However, some things have to be viewed from both sides.

Let’s just say that the eldest wife in their mansion, although she has the status of a head wife, is still as precious as a wife.Pin Gaoming's wife, but when the old man was alive, he never treated her as a person. Judging from his attitude towards his second wife, he was worse than a rough servant.

And the You family in Dongfu, when Uncle Zhen was alive, she was just a wooden fish who could be knocked and moved. It was not until Uncle Zhen died that she seemed to live a full life. She looks like a grandma.

Therefore, all external things are virtual. For us women, only the husband’s love is real.

Look at Lin Yatou again, isn’t that child stronger than you? Ever since she promised you the second brother Lian, look at it now, who in their house dares to look down on her, and who dares to bully her? Even if Baoyu slighted her, she would be punished! Behind all of this, what I rely on is not the love of your second brother Lian.

And in your second uncle’s house, girl Baoqin’s mother is just a concubine, but because of your second uncle’s favor, your second aunt doesn’t dare to bully her. I watched from a distance. After your second uncle died, the two of them were closer than before. They supported each other and took care of each other. It is enviable that they can be each other's companions in such old age..."
< br /> Aunt Xue’s emotions could not help but drift away as she spoke, but Baochai listened attentively.

She was half-convinced and half-suspicious about Aunt Xue’s words. As for Aunt Xue’s truth, she was After all, most of the education she received since childhood came from Aunt Xue.

But she has different opinions on some of the joints. She feels that she and Girl Lin cannot be the same.
< br />The reason why Daiyu is unique in that mansion and everyone loves and respects her is inseparable from the fact that she is the direct granddaughter of Mrs. Jia Mu, and that her father earned her the title of village monarch with the Holy Family. .

She has neither of these two things.

As for the second uncle’s family, the reason why the second aunt and Bao Qinniang get along like sisters is that the second aunt is kind-hearted and the second reason is that Mother Baoqin can become a model by knowing how to deal with things and not fighting or grabbing.

The conversation between mother and daughter fell into a brief silence. Aunt Xue came back to her senses and was thinking about how to further persuade her daughter, but she heard Baoqin Chai asked in a whisper: "Mother said so much, all she said was to illustrate the importance of our husband's favor to us women. But how can the mother be sure that her daughter will be favored by the second brother Lian after marrying her as a concubine? ”

There are three things in Daiyu that are necessary for a stable life. Jia Mu’s granddaughter, noble status and Jia Lian’s love, she does not have the first two.

Aunt Xue’s smile He was stunned, and then nodded secretly. By the way, after talking for a long time, how could he forget the most important thing.

No matter how precocious and sensible my daughter is, she is still a young girl in her twenties and eighties. She will care about the man she likes. This is a normal girl's attitude towards herthought.

Aunt Xue laughed. She had never worried about this, so she took her daughter’s hand and said with a smile: "With the appearance of my girl, any man who gets her will be a big winner. Fortunately, your second brother Lian is no exception."

Seeing that Baochai didn't show any emotion on his face, and obviously not complacent and arbitrary about this, he became serious and said, "You are also in my mother's heart. Meat, do you think I will marry you so easily?

That day I went to Tianjin Wei and asked him personally what he thought of you. He said that Bao Yatou has the quality of white snow and the beauty of the country. I asked him again If I promise you to him, how will he treat me? He said, if I can get you in this life, I will treat you as a national treasure."

Baochai was shocked in his heart. Did Brother Lian really say that? Treating Xue Baochai as a national treasure, besides her mother, how could she be treated by another person in this world?

Aunt Xue sighed: "You also know the character of your second brother Lian. He is not even willing to force you, so naturally there is no need to lie to you and me.

Alas, nothing is perfect in the world. Although my mother is not very capable, she is confident that she can judge people accurately. Listen to my mother, if you also like him, it is better to let go of some things.

Perhaps I missed it After this marriage, it will be difficult for you to find another person who treats you like this."

Aunt Xue's words rang like morning bells and evening drums, making Baochai's heart difficult to calm down. After all, she didn't say anything. Since her mother didn't force her, and Brother Lian didn't mean to repay the favor, she still had time to think carefully about how to make a choice.
