Chapter 475: Baoqin's Marriage
“Help?”
Jia Yun was not surprised after hearing this. As he guessed, Jia Yun was puzzled by this support. I remember that Baoqin did not seem to have married to Mei Hanlin's family in the original work. Could it be that he regretted the marriage...
Baochai nodded after hearing this and said, "Brother Yun, this was originally a business of the Xue family, so it's not easy to talk to outsiders, but..."
As he said that, Baochai's pretty face turned red, but she immediately recovered and continued, "Tell me the truth. After my second uncle died two years ago, my second aunt suffered from phlegm syndrome. Now she is getting worse and worse. Baoqin is not young anymore, so she can't delay any more."
Jia Yun knew when he heard this that the people in the Dakan Dynasty respected filial piety. Although the Xue family was a merchant, they were all the big ones, how could they not know the importance of it?
Originally, according to the rules, the mother was seriously ill, and as a child, she should be filial. Baoqin should not be so urgent. However, Baoqin is very common, and daughters do not have to abide by filial piety like men. Therefore, we have developed ways to take advantage of loopholes, and "joking joy" came into being.
"Change joy" is called "the disease of parents, elders and families". By organizing happy events and taking advantage of the auspiciousness of happy events, it can drive away illness and disasters.
It doesn’t matter whether the "joking" is effective. What is important is that you can use this to handle the urgent wedding when the patient is not dying. This is true for men and women, especially for daughters, who can marry legitimately, not violate filial piety.
Baoqin is in the boudoir. As a daughter, if her parents die, they need to be mourned for three years and cannot get married. Baoqin is fifteen years old this year. Her mother has phlegm symptoms and her body is getting worse and worse. It seems that there are not many years. Once she has a long and short time, she may have to waste three or four years. The Xue family can wait, but the Mei Hanlin family may not be willing to wait, because they are afraid of something happening!!!
Jia Yun nodded and said, "But the Mei Hanlin family doesn't want to?"
Baochai frowned when she heard this and said uncertainly: "It's hard to say."
After hearing this, Jia Yun was immediately happy and said with a smile: "Bao girl, what you said is strange. Wish is wish, and if you don't want it, you don't want it. There is no reason why it's hard to say."
Baochai turned Jia Yun away when she saw this. She said serious to Jia Yun. Jia Yun joked and pursed her lips. Baochai explained: "The master of the Mei family is placed as an official and is not in the capital. The Mei family said that she would wait for the master of the Mei family to come back before deciding the marriage. This is not wrong. But I said before that the second aunt is unwell, I am afraid... "
Baochai won’t say much about the following words. Jia Yun himself also understood that it is indeed difficult to get engaged if the master of the Mei family is not at home. This makes sense, but the Xue family is so anxious to get engaged, but it is a conflict.
Jia Yun understood even more that Baochai had not told him carefully. The Xue family was so urgent, afraid that it was not just because they were worried that they would delay Baoqin, but because there was something else.
Jia Yun knew the situation of the Xue family. If Jia Yun had not sent someone to help Xue Pan check the accounts before, Baochai's lineage would have been unable to last for several years. On the second house, Baochai's second uncle died and the pillars of the family were suddenly gone. The situation in the mansion should have taken a sharp turn and faced a crisis. The second house of the Xue family urgently needed to complete the marriage with the Mei Hanlin family to revive the family and avoid continuing to decline. Therefore, although it was mother's phlegm syndrome, Xue Ke and Xue Baoqin brothers and sisters ignored the most basic etiquette and law "filial piety", and they had to leave their critically ill mother to go to Beijing to get married.
However, Jia Yun didn't care. This was the business of the Xue family. Baochai had already trusted Jia Yun very much if she could tell him so much. He put her heart in mind. Didn't Jia Yun have many things that Baochai hadn't said carefully!!!
Thinking of this, Jia Yun asked, "Bao girl, then how do you want me to help?"
Listening to Jia Yun's words, Baochai understood that Jia Yun agreed to help, so she spoke, "My mother had discussed with me before, meaning that she wanted you to discuss with Mei Hanlin's family, and settle the marriage first, and wait until the master of Mei Hanlin's family returns to Beijing before holding the marriage."
Jia Yun knew when he heard this. Although Baoqin and Mei Hanlin's family had a engagement, it was only verbal and there was no guarantee. If they regretted it, the Xue family would not be able to get the excuse, but it would be a foregone conclusion to settle the marriage. After all, Mei Hanlin's family is an official family, so how could they lose face in ruining the promise? As for Baochai's second aunt, it was nothing more than waiting for three years. As long as you don't destroy the promise, you don't have to worry about it.
Thinking of Baoqin's handsome and lively appearance, Jia Yun pondered and said, "Bao girl, I don't have any sincerity when I see that Mei Hanlin's family is not sincere. In my opinion, there are so many good men in the world, why bother to rush them?"
Jia Yun was right. Although the Mei Hanlin family had a legitimate reason why the master was not in Beijing, if they were willing, they would have to think of a way and should not refuse. They probably thought that they were despairing the Xue family, and they were in a hurry, and they looked down on the daughter of a merchant family like the Xue family.
Baochai naturally knew the pros and cons. If not, why did she beg Jia Yun for help? She wanted to borrow the power of the Jia family. However, she didn't care about these things now. She looked at Jia Yun with suspicion and frowned and said, "Brother Yun, are you thinking about Bao Qin?"
Jia Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "Bao girl, what you said is heartbreaking. Girl Baoqin is your sister, so naturally my sister. I treat her as a girl, so I naturally don't want her to be wronged."
Baochai glanced at Jia Yun suspiciously, because Jia Yun liked his handsome daughter very much, and his sister seemed like a character from the painting. How could Jia Yun not be moved?
Seeing Baochai looked like this, Jia Yun said angrily: "Okay, okay, I think I'm doing this too much. Let's do this. I'll go to the Mei family tomorrow to ask them what they mean. This is all right."
Baochai nodded comfortably when she heard this and said, "Then I'll trouble you."
Jia Yun smiled and said, "What's the point of trouble? We don't have to do this."
Baochai smiled and responded, then thought of something and said softly: "Brother Yun, I misunderstood you just now, don't worry."
Jia Yun smiled and held Baochai's little hand and said, "You are just apologizing like this, you are not sincere."
Feeling Jia Yun's irregular hands, Baochai looked shy. She didn't know what Jia Yun meant. She said softly: "Brother Yun, I will follow you after a while, but it won't work now."
Jia Yun understood and smiled and said, "I know what you think. Let's do this. It's okay to taste the rouge on your mouth!!!"
