Chapter 2866 Jia Chang: Cancel the Engagement? I Don't Agree

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Zheng solemnly and said very seriously.

"Brother-in-law also knows that I have no children and only have one daughter, Yu'er. I attach great importance to her marriage!"

Jia Zheng's expression moved slightly, thoughtfully, and did not speak. He just listened quietly to Lin Ruhai's words.

"Yu'er has now reached the age of marriage, so I want to discuss the marriage between Yu'er and Brother Chang with my uncle!"

Lin Ruhai got straight to the point, unwilling to beat around the bush, and directly stated his purpose.

When Jia Zheng heard this, he no longer pretended to be confused, with a look of confusion on his face. He also knew Jia Mu's thoughts and wanted to bring Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu together, but now Lin Ruhai has taken a fancy to Jia Chang. Let him not know what to do.

"Brother-in-law, I won't hide it from you. Chang'er has had big ideas since he was a child and has good ideas. He will never listen to me when it comes to marriage matters. As a father, I don't have much dignity and I can't be his master!"

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he secretly felt funny in his heart. Jia Zheng was a pedantic man who was not familiar with ordinary affairs and could not even take care of his son.

Lin Ruhai smiled. It was hard to tell Lin Daiyu about asking Jia Chang to confirm her feelings. After all, it would hinder Lin Daiyu's reputation, so she just said.

"Uncle, don't worry. You can discuss this matter with Brother Chang first. If he is willing, everyone will be happy. If he doesn't agree, just pretend I didn't mention it. What do you think?"

Jia Zheng thought this was a good idea, nodded in agreement, and spoke.

"Brother-in-law, what you said is true. In this case, I will discuss it with Chang'er today, and I will give you an answer tomorrow!"

Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief and chatted with Jia Zheng about government affairs. They exchanged pleasantries for almost an hour before leaving.

After Jia Zheng waited for Lin Ruhai to leave, he asked Zhou Rui to invite Jia Chang to come and discuss the matter.

Jia Chang was not surprised by this. He strolled through the courtyard, entered the Hall of Rongxi, and told Jia Zheng his thoughts.

"I know Sister Lin well. Bingxue is smart and Huizhi has a good heart. She is a good match!"

"I have no opinion on this matter. It all depends on the master!"

Jia Zheng was a little surprised when he heard this. He was not a fool. He was thoughtful when he saw Jia Chang agreeing to the marriage so happily.

"Brother-in-law and Chang'er have probably already passed their anger in advance, otherwise they would never be so happy. It seems that both parties have already determined their minds! Well, why should I be that evil person? The old lady's idea is unrealistic, and my brother-in-law is definitely I don’t like Baoyu!”

In the evening, after dinner in Rongqing Hall, Jia Zheng came to Jia Mu's house, dismissed the maids, and reported the matter of Jia Chang and Lin Daiyu to Jia Mu.

"Mom, today my brother-in-law proposed to me that he wants to settle the marriage between Chang'er and Yu'er!"

Jia Mu was stunned when she heard this, with a bit of reluctance on her face, and she spoke.

"Yu'er is your sister's only flesh and blood. I love her very much. I want to get closer to her and bring Yu'er and Baoyu together to form a happy marriage!"

"Your brother-in-law is now the Minister of Rites, and will soon be promoted to Minister of the Sixth Ministry. If Baoyu marries Yu'er, his future future will be guaranteed!"

Jia's mother told her all her thoughts and plans. The one she loved the most and couldn't worry about the most was Jia Baoyu. She wanted to arrange everything for Jia Baoyu before she left.

Jia Zheng was deeply touched when he heard that Jia Mu had worked so hard, but things could not go as planned. Lin Ruhai simply looked down on the playboy Jia Baoyu, and fell in love with Jia Chang, and could not force anything.

"My mother has worked hard, and my son understands it, but the melon is not sweet after all, and my brother-in-law doesn't like Baoyu at all!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Mu frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied, and said angrily.

"What's wrong with Baoyu? How dare Ruhai do this?"

"If we don't agree to this marriage, what do I think he will do?"

When Jia Zheng heard this, he was shocked and quickly objected.

"Mom, you must not do it. Chang'er and Yu'er are in love, and my brother-in-law is also satisfied with Chang'er. It is a good marriage. If you object, it will not only hate your brother-in-law, but also chill Chang'er!"

"And to say the least, even if Yu'er and Chang'er can't get married, my brother-in-law will not fall in love with Baoyu. He is the Minister of Rites. Many people come to Yu'er to propose marriage to Yu'er, including princes, clansmen, famous families, young talents. Jun, there are so many choices for my brother-in-law!”

When Jia Mu heard this, her face showed a bit of dejection, she sighed and said feebly.

"It seems this matter is not going to work!"

"In this case, you can make the decision, and I, the old woman, will stop being such a bad person!"

Mother Jia was unhappy and waved her hand to signal Jia Zheng not to be an eyesore here.

Seeing this, Jia Zheng stood up, bowed and retreated.

The next day, in Rongxi Hall, Jia Zheng spoke with a smile, cordiality and enthusiasm.

"Brother-in-law, I have already cleared up the matter between Chang'er and Yu'er that you mentioned yesterday. I have also informed the old lady about it. They both readily agreed. Let's settle this matter. I have been talking about it for the past few days. , let the matchmaker come to propose marriage, what do you think?"

Lin Ruhai was overjoyed. Although he knew that Jia Zheng would probably agree, he was worried that Jia Mu would cause trouble. Now it seems that Jia Mu also knew that things must be done and gave up her unrealistic fantasies and chose to accept it.

"That's great, I'll be waiting in the house!"

Lin Ruhai left Rongxi Hall and went straight to Xiaoxiang Hall to inform Lin Daiyu of the matter.

The book in Lin Daiyu's hand fell to the ground. Her heart was filled with endless joy and sweetness. She hugged Lin Ruhai's arm and said coquettishly.

"Thank you, father, for letting you worry about your daughter!"

"Yu'er, what nonsense are you talking about? Your father has only one daughter like you. If I don't worry about you, who should I worry about?"

A few days later, Jia Zheng asked the matchmaker to go to the Lin Mansion to propose marriage, which was considered to be the matter of Jia Chang and Lin Daiyu. The news spread immediately and the whole Rong State knew about it.

Phoenix Egg Jia Baoyu was immediately dissatisfied and lost his temper. He used his spiritual jade again. Under the gaze of everyone, he pulled out the spiritual jade from his neck, threw it hard on the ground, and said to Lin Daiyu.

"I don't agree. You and I have a marriage in the previous life, a marriage of wood and stone. How can you get engaged to Jia Chang, the illegitimate son?!"

When Jia Baoyu said this, everyone was shocked and looked at Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu.

Grandmother Jia even asked Yuanyang to pick up the spiritual jade quickly, shouting in her mouth.

"You evil creature, everything can be discussed easily, why bother to break your life!"

In Rongqing Hall, the atmosphere was strange and solemn.

Lin Daiyu was angry and anxious. She had just made an engagement with Jia Chang, and Jia Baoyu was talking nonsense in front of everyone, insulting her reputation. If Jia Chang knew about it, I don't know what he would think. Her pretty face flushed, her chest rose and fell, her breathing became heavier, and she glared at Jia Baoyu and said sternly.

"You heard nonsense from who knows where, but you took it seriously. How can I live my life in the future?"

Jia Baoyu was stunned by the news of Lin Daiyu and Jia Chang's engagement. He just stared at Lin Daiyu in a daze, as if he was in hysteria. He couldn't hear the outside voice at all. He didn't react for a while, his eyes were dull, his expression was wooden, and he didn't move. He could only mutter one sentence back and forth.

"I don't agree. Sister Lin and I are predestined in our past lives, destined to be together forever!"

When Jia's mother saw Jia Baoyu like this, she was horrified. She quickly stood up, walked to Jia Baoyu's side, hugged him in her arms, and slapped Jia Baoyu's back with her wrinkled palms, shouting.

"Baoyu, don't scare me, wake up!"

Mrs. Wang was also very anxious, her face full of worry, the Buddhist beads in her hands were torn and scattered all over the floor, and she shouted anxiously to the maids.

"Go and ask Doctor Wang!"

Jia Baoyu let Jia's mother hold him in her arms without any reaction. He could only mutter that sentence, as if he had lost his soul, which frightened the whole family and made them shout.

"Quickly bring the spiritual jade over and put it on him!"

Yuanyang quickly picked up the spiritual jade and put it on Jia Baoyu's neck. Jia Baoyu's eyes fluctuated slightly, but he still had no reaction. He was confused and just kept talking nonsense.

"I don't agree. Sister Lin and I are destined to be together in our past lives, a marriage of wood and stone!"

Jia's mother was shocked when she saw this. She was in a hurry and said.

"Baoyu, don't be afraid. Grandmother will make the decision for you. Let your father cancel the engagement between Chang'er and Yu'er, so that you and Yu'er can continue your relationship!"

When these words came out, everyone was shocked and looked at Jia's mother in disbelief. Mrs. Wang was secretly happy. She originally looked down on Lin Daiyu and wanted to match Xue Baochai and Jia Baoyu. She was even ready to spread rumors of a golden and jade marriage. However, she didn't expect that Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing and rose step by step to become an important official in the court. Mrs. Wang changed her mind again and wanted Jia Baoyu to marry Lin Daiyu. His future must be bright.

Unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway, Lin Ruhai actually fell in love with Jia Chang, which made Mrs. Wang's wishful thinking fail. She hated it in her heart. Now she saw that Jia's mother had changed her mind, and she was naturally ecstatic.

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she showed an expression of disbelief on her face, and looked at Jia's mother with disappointment. Is this still the grandmother who loves her so much? What does she think of herself, a toy to make Jia Baoyu happy?

Lin Daiyu was extremely sad, her eyes were blurred with tears, and the whole person fell into a state of madness, and had no reaction to the outside world. Seeing this, Zijuan was shocked, and hurriedly hugged Lin Daiyu, shouting, her voice full of panic and fear.

"Girl, wake up, don't scare me!"

Seeing that Lin Daiyu was also stupid, everyone became more anxious, flustered, and people were thrown to the ground, and the chaos was extremely chaotic.

At this moment, Jia Chang came in with Xiao Ruyi, frowning, looking frosty and majestic. He looked at Jia Baoyu and Jia Mu and said coldly.

"Grandmother wants to cancel the engagement between me and Sister Lin. Did you ask for my opinion?"

Ever since the last incident with Jin Chuan'er, Jia Mu had a problem with Jia Chang. She was a little angry and scolded him.

"At what time do you still care about these things? Don't you care about Baoyu's life or death?"

Jia Chang sneered when he heard the words, his expression was cold and sharp, and he stepped forward and said coldly.

"What does Jia Baoyu's life or death have to do with my marriage?"

Jia Mu was furious when she heard the words, and she said angrily while gently patting Jia Baoyu's suddenly trembling body.

"If you hadn't robbed Baoyu of his marriage, why would he do this? Do you still have a conscience? Baoyu is your second brother. Is your marriage more important than Baoyu's life?"

Jia Chang showed a bright smile on his face, which gave people an extremely cold feeling. A murderous aura enveloped Rongqing Hall, making it difficult for people to breathe. Jia Chang's extremely cold voice returned to the house.

"Grandmother, what you said doesn't make sense. If Jia Baoyu likes someone, others can't marry him. Isn't that ridiculous!"

Grandmother Jia felt Jia Baoyu shivering in her arms and bowed her head to comfort him.

"Baoyu, don't be afraid. Grandma will make the decision for you today. No one can take away your sister Lin!"

After saying that, Jia Mu raised her head and glared at Jia Chang, expressing her attitude very strongly.

"Today, old lady, I will no longer be unreasonable. The engagement between you and Yu'er must be cancelled!"

"If you dare to disobey me, I will go to the palace to find the Empress Dowager and accuse you of being disobedient and unfilial!"

Jia's mother is a first-class imperial concubine, so she can naturally go to the palace to see the Empress Dowager and accuse Jia Chang of being rebellious. It's not necessarily whether the Empress Dowager wants to take care of it. After all, Jia Chang is different from others. The God of War, Duke Wu, Emperor Taizhen and Emperor Yuankang all valued him.

"If grandma wants to enter the palace, fine, I don't care, but I will never cancel the engagement!"

After that, Jia Chang walked to Lin Daiyu's side, looked into those blank and sad starry eyes, and said firmly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

This sentence seemed to have a magical power, causing Lin Daiyu, who was originally in panic and despair, to suddenly wake up. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes as she explained in her mouth.

"Brother Chang, I don't know where Baoyu heard the nonsense, but he actually talked nonsense in front of everyone. There is only a brother-sister relationship between me and him, and there is absolutely no other intention!"

"I understand, leave it to me, you don't have to worry!"

Jia Changan comforted Lin Daiyu gently. He had long known the cause and effect between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, and still decided to marry Lin Daiyu, so naturally he wouldn't mind.

Seeing that Jia Chang really didn't mind this matter, Lin Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief and slowly got up from Zicuckoo's arms. Her hands and feet were still a little weak, so she could only sit on the chair.

Jia Chang turned around and looked at the angry little Ruyi. This girl was staring at Jia Baoyu in Jia's mother's arms, and she wanted to eat Jia Baoyu.

"Take out the things and give them to Sister Lin!"

When Xiao Ruyi heard this, she immediately reacted, took out a sandalwood box from her arms, carefully handed it to Lin Daiyu, and said with great solemnity.

"Miss Lin, this is the silver bracelet left by the young master's mother. It is to be given to the future daughter-in-law. The young master asked me to give it to you!"

Hearing this, Lin Daiyu looked surprised and opened the sandalwood box. Inside was a silver bracelet that was not expensive. The style was simple and the workmanship was not fine. Such a silver bracelet appeared in the Rongguo Mansion and even seemed a bit cheap.

But Lin Daiyu cherished it very much. She took off the priceless mutton-fat jade bracelet from her wrist and put the silver bracelet on her wrist without hesitation. Her wrist was white and smooth, and she raised her wrist and looked at the person beside her. Xiao Ruyi asked.

"Does it look good?"

Xiao Ruyi smiled brightly, nodded firmly, and said loudly.

"Miss Lin looks great wearing it, and only Miss Lin is the most suitable for this bracelet!"

Lin Daiyu showed her attitude to everyone with her actions. She would not cancel her engagement with Jia Chang. She would become Jia Chang's wife, and even Jia's mother could not stop her.

Jia Chang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a faint smile on his face. He took a deep look at Lin Daiyu and saw that she was looking directly at him very firmly. She nodded slightly, and then took another step and walked to Jia Mu and Jia Baoyu's side. before.

At this time, Jia Baoyu said that sentence again, and the voice was extremely clear, reaching everyone's ears, including Jia Chang himself.

"I don't agree. Sister Lin and I are destined to have a long-lasting relationship, a marriage between wood and stone!"

Everyone looked at Jia Chang nervously, worried that he might do something drastic.

Yuan Chun took a step forward, wanting to ease the tense atmosphere, and spoke.

"Brother Chang, don't be angry. Baoyu is confused and doesn't know what he said!"

Jia Chang smiled slightly and waved his hand, interrupting Yuan Chun's words. His right hand suddenly fell down with a crisp snap, and his palm landed heavily on Jia Baoyu's cheek.

A clear red handprint appeared on Jia Baoyu's face, he stopped mumbling, and looked at Jia Chang blankly.

Everyone was shocked, including Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang. They did not expect that Jia Chang was so decisive and slapped Jia Baoyu directly.

Jia Mu suddenly came back to her senses, glared at Jia Chang, and shouted loudly.

"What are you doing?"

Jia Chang was not annoyed at all when he heard this, he smiled and said warmly.

"Grandma, Jia Baoyu has lost his mind. I am trying to save him. Only by waking him up quickly can he avoid being stupid."

Jia's mother was doubtful and looked at Jia Chang with suspicious eyes. She suspected that Jia Chang was taking revenge on Jia Baoyu.

Jia Chang didn't care whether his mother believed it or not. He raised his palm again and slapped Jia Baoyu hard on the face. Tears flashed in Jia Baoyu's eyes.

Mother Jia felt distressed and was about to speak to stop Jia Chang, but she heard Jia Chang speak.

"Grandma, look, he's much better now, and he doesn't talk nonsense anymore!"

Sure enough, Jia's mother saw that Jia Baoyu's mouth was tightly closed and stopped talking nonsense. A little hope rose in her heart and she would no longer stop Jia Chang's behavior.

Mrs. Wang was furious at first and was about to curse Jia Chang, but now that she saw that Jia Baoyu had stopped talking nonsense, she just stayed on the sidelines for the time being.

There was a smile in Jia Chang's eyes, but there was an inexorable coldness in the deepest part. He looked at Jia Baoyu's swollen left face and felt it was very asymmetrical. He raised his left hand and slapped Jia Baoyu's face hard with two big slaps. The face suddenly became symmetrical and swollen equally.

"This is much more pleasing to the eye!"

Jia Chang said with a smile, making the sisters' mouths twitch slightly, wanting to laugh inexplicably, but due to the presence of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, they forced themselves to endure it, covering their mouths with a handkerchief, and their shoulders kept shrugging.

"Hey, I'm still awake, it seems I need to work harder!"

Jia Chang said to himself, slowly raising his right hand with long and strong fingers.

Jia Baoyu's eyes fluctuated violently, following the movement of Jia Chang's right hand. When he saw that his right hand stopped in mid-air and was about to fall, he was so frightened that he spoke quickly.

"Ah, it hurts so much!"

When Jia Mu heard this, she was extremely surprised. She hugged Jia Baoyu tightly and kept shouting.

"Baoyu, my Baoyu, you finally woke up, but you scared grandma to death!"

Jia Chang curled his lips slightly, showing a bit of disdain. As soon as he came in, he saw that Jia Baoyu had been awake for a long time. He was just pretending to force Lin Daiyu. Fortunately, he took advantage of the trick and slapped Jia Baoyu several times. A slap in the face. Sure enough, this weakling couldn't hold on anymore.
