Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Old Immortal, this is the horoscope of the girl I mentioned. Please calculate it for me."

"See if it's suitable?" After returning to Lady Jia and Taoist Zhang, Mrs. Wang asked someone to bring paper and pen, wrote down Xue Baochai's birth characters, and gave them to Taoist Zhang.

Zhang Laodao slightly closed his eyes, shook his head, and calculated with his right hand.

Grandmother Jia and Madam Wang stared at Taoist Zhang's expression closely.

The more Taoist Zhang calculated, the more his brows furrowed, and the faces of Lady Jia and the other two became more tense.

Suddenly, the old Taoist said, "Eh!"

"How is it?" Mrs. Wang asked anxiously.

Zhang Laodao's expression changed, and he thought, "Why is it a fate of loneliness? It shouldn't be like this?"

The old Taoist priest was a man who knew how to adapt to changing circumstances. He said tactfully, "This girl was born into a wealthy family, but she also had many ups and downs."

Mrs. Wang's face drooped and she thought to herself, who asked you to calculate Baochai's fate?

Of course it has been a bumpy life. My father died early, my brother was not very ambitious, and now I am left with only a widow and a young daughter. How could it not be a bumpy life?

You should calculate whether you can bring good fortune to my son.

Thinking of this, Madam Wang asked directly, "Old Immortal, just tell me, if this girl comes home, can my son's soul return?"

Zhang Laodao was talking in a mysterious way, and he said something confusing, but at the end he only had one key point:

"Speaking of a good matchmaker, this girl is the right choice!"

feasible!

That's it!

What my sister hopes for and what I think is just like the passing of winter and the coming of spring, which makes everyone happy.

Mrs. Wang felt relieved and smiled happily.

She looked around, wanting to tell Aunt Xue the good news, but seeing no one around, she immediately asked Lady Jia and Taoist Zhang,

"Where's my sister? Where's Aunt Xue?"

Grandmother Jia said with an uncertain expression, "Your sister went to Baoyu's room by herself."

Then he asked again, "Have you told her about Baoyu's situation?"

Mrs. Wang's joy disappeared. She didn't say anything specifically, but the news spread throughout the mansion.

How could my sister not know?

This is not a big deal. Thinking of this, she said to Taoist Zhang,

"Old Immortal, if this is feasible, please come and act as a matchmaker."

"It would also be nice if my son's marriage could have some fairy touch."

Zhang Laodao was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"I, an old Taoist priest, now also do the work of a matchmaker."

Grandmother Jia glanced at Taoist Zhang in surprise. When did this stubborn guy become so easy to talk to?

After getting the promise, Mrs. Wang went to Jia Baoyu's room with ease.

As soon as he reached the door, he bumped into Aunt Xue who was hurrying out.

Aunt Xue looked terrified.

He kept looking back, as if there was something terrible behind him.

She bumped into Mrs. Wang without even noticing and turned around to leave.

At this moment, Mrs. Wang shouted, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Aunt Xue then looked at Mrs. Wang seriously and said sadly, "Sister, how can we conclude a marriage with Baoyu in his current state?"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"How can I explain this to my daughter?"

The more Aunt Xue talked, the more she regretted not listening to Baochai.

My daughter had clearly told me that I could not make decisions on my own regarding matters concerning her and I had to discuss it with her.

Who knew that after listening to his sister, he was bewitched and agreed.

Isn’t Baoyu stupid?

How can my young daughter marry a foolish man?

Me! I... am such an irresponsible and foolish woman!

So when she saw Mrs. Wang, she immediately complained.

Mrs. Wang's face was gloomy. "Sister, look at you."

"Calm down."

"Don't you know that Baoyu is ill?"

Aunt Xue shook her head and looked at Mrs. Wang innocently.

"Sister, I knew he was sick, but I didn't know his illness was getting worse."

“And now it’s like this.”

"To put it bluntly, it's still unknown whether this sister can have sex in the future."

Mrs. Wang's face suddenly changed. She was enraged by Aunt Xue's curse.

The Buddhist beads in his hand "slapped" onto Aunt Xue's arm, "How dare you!"

"Do you know what you said?"

"How can you talk nonsense in front of the gods?"

"This matter has been decided. The gods have already made their calculations. It is a match made in heaven and there is no room for regret." Mrs. Wang glared at Aunt Xue and said in a decisive tone.

“No, no…” Aunt Xue stepped back repeatedly, “I can’t harm my daughter.”

"I don't agree with this."

Thinking of her own daughter who was dressed up all day and facing Baoyu like this all day long, Aunt Xue felt heartbroken.

She also became strong.

She looked straight at Mrs. Wang and refused to give in.

Mrs. Wang was so angry at her stupid sister.

She continued to scold Aunt Xue, "Don't you consider the occasion when you do things?"

"Do you really have to go against me here?"

As she spoke, she glanced next door.

Lady Jia and Taoist Zhang were there, and the quarrel here would definitely be heard by them.

How they laugh at themselves.

Sure enough, a moment later, Jia's mother and Taoist Zhang came out of the room.

Grandmother Jia looked at Aunt Xue with anger.

"My grandson Baoyu is ill, and not just anyone can dislike him."

"If you don't agree, I'll just leave it at that."

"Make friends, not enemies."

"We are here to express joy, not anger or resentment."

After saying this, Jia's mother turned her head and looked at Mrs. Wang.

"Second son's wife, we are the legitimate son of the Duke's Mansion, do we still have to rush to marry the daughter of a merchant who lost her father?"

What Jia's mother said was like a knife stabbing at Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang suppressed her anger, but had nothing to say.

You can't say that Lady Jia was wrong. Do you really want to belittle your own son?

She had no choice but to vent her anger on Aunt Xue.

"Sister! You should think twice before doing anything!"

"If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to find this store anymore."

"I, I, I..." Aunt Xue looked terrified. Only then did she realize that she had overreacted.

But there is no room for compromise on this matter!

She looked at Mrs. Wang in embarrassment and murmured,

"elder sister……

"I...can't harm my daughter."

Mrs. Wang was simply amused by her sister. Good, good, good, …

You can't harm your daughter and then despise my son.

Thinking of this, she said directly to Aunt Xue, "Sister, since you don't want to harm your daughter, you feel that marrying my daughter is unfair."

"Why don't you move out of the Jia family?"

"It's unfair for you to live in the Jia family."

Mrs. Wang thought to herself, since you don’t give me face, then there’s no need for me to give you face.

Aunt Xue was shocked. Her sister was really turning against her.

I spent so much money and now they want to kick us out.

no way!

Thinking of this, she bowed her head and said to Mrs. Wang, "Sister, I don't have to go to the Jia family. I can also go to the Wang family."

"You can also go back to the Xue family, but do you want to settle the accounts clearly?"

Mrs. Wang was delighted. It turned out that he was waiting for me here!

Yeah.

She also bowed her head and said to Aunt Xue, "If you want the silver, go back and ask your brother!"

After saying this, Mrs. Wang ignored her and Aunt Xue was stunned again.

She walked straight up to Taoist Zhang and said to him,

"Old Immortal, let me tear up your horoscope!"

"My sister disagrees."

"I'll look for another lady later."

"I will make my son better."

Taoist Zhang reluctantly took out the eight characters that Madam Wang had given him and handed them back.

He said, "What a pity!

"Hey! That's fine!"
