The eldest son of the red mansion

"What kind of wind brought the Chief Manager of our mansion here." Zijuan and Yuanyang grew up together, so they spoke more casually.

Yuanyang sat next to Lin Daiyu, looked at Lin Daiyu carefully, and then replied to Zijuan, "It was Zhuge Liang's east wind that brought me here. You have to reward me for coming here today. Otherwise, I won't know the news." I told you."

After listening to Yuanyang's words, Lin Daiyu and Zijuan were a little stunned. I didn't understand the meaning of Yuanyang's words.

Chapter 349 Marriage

Seeing the bewildered master and servant, Yuanyang had no choice but to speak first.So Yuanyang quickly stood up and gave Lin Daiyu a blessing, "Congratulations Miss Lin, your day of great joy has come."

Zijuan, who was standing next to her, understood what she meant when she heard her words. Now Zijuan felt her heart beating non-stop, almost jumping out of her throat.

"What's going on, which family is the match for our young lady? Tell me clearly." Zijuan asked anxiously.

Lin Daiyu is also pale now, and there is no joy on her face now.He could only look at the mandarin duck with both eyes, as if waiting for the judgment of fate.

Yuanyang looked at the master and servant with tense faces, and it was not good to tease them, so she smiled and bowed to Lin Daiyu again, "Congratulations, Miss Lin, I overheard our master and old lady talking just now. Listen to the master and old lady The meaning is to ration Miss Lin to our Baoyu. That's why I came here early to congratulate you."

After listening to Yuanyang's words, Lin Daiyu felt that her strength was gone, but a burst of joy surged from her heart.

And Zijuan was also crying with joy, she came to Lin Daiyu's side, grabbed Lin Daiyu's hand, and said in a crying voice: "Miss, it's all right now, you don't have to worry about it every day, once you cry, you will spend the whole night."

At this time, Lin Daiyu was a little embarrassed to see Zi Yuanyang standing aside, looking at them with a smile. She pushed Zijuan away and said, "Who has been crying all night? Don't talk nonsense."

Only then did Zijuan realize that there was still a mandarin duck standing beside her, and she hastily wiped away her tears.Turning around, he said to Yuanyang: "I was confused just now, Sister Yuanyang, please don't spread the word."

Yuanyang smiled and said: "It's up to you to say, you and Miss Lin don't spread the matter, after all, I eavesdropped on it, if it gets out, the old lady will punish me."

After the mandarin duck finished speaking, he got up to say goodbye. This time, Lin Daiyu and Zijuan sent the mandarin duck to the door together, and then came back.

Besides, in Jia Mu's room, after Jia Zheng repeatedly promised Jia Mu, he left.When he left Jia Mu's yard, he felt relieved, this time he settled the matter with the best of both worlds.

Jia Zheng returned to his courtyard and went to Mrs. Wang's room.At this time Mrs. Wang had just started having breakfast.

Mrs. Wang only eats a few pieces of snacks every morning, and then goes to Jiamu's to say hello.I can only come back after serving Jiamu's meal, so I eat breakfast late every day.

When Mrs. Wang saw Jia Zheng coming in, she got up quickly and led him to the main seat, and ordered someone to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks to Jia Zheng.

Although Jia Zheng had breakfast, he still sat down and had a few mouthfuls with Mrs. Wang.He saw that Mrs. Wang was almost done eating before he said to her, "I have something to tell you today."

When Madam Wang heard Jia Zheng's words, she quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, "Just ask the master if you have anything to say."

"I really need to discuss this matter with you." Jia Zheng looked at his old wife, who had been taking care of the housework all these years, which relieved him of his worries, so he respected her very much in his heart.

When Mrs. Wang heard what Jia Zheng said, she understood that it was probably for the sake of visiting relatives.This incident has long been rumored outside, and she has known it for a long time. She has been thinking about finding a time to discuss with Jia Zheng, but she has never figured out what to say. After all, it will cost money this time, but Hai gone.If Jia Zheng spoke first, he would have saved a lot of trouble.

As expected by Mrs. Wang, what Jia Zheng said next was indeed this matter, "The current emperor, Long En, let our mother go home to visit relatives, but there must be a building, a separate courtyard, and our family does not have it yet. So I and I The three children discussed it and decided to build a family-saving villa in our house so that we can take our mother back."

When Mrs. Wang heard what he said, the smile on her face didn't stop, and she said in agreement: "Master is still thoughtful. Of course, you are the master of this matter. What can I say as a woman?"

Jia Zheng went on to say: "Although it is said that the family-speaking villa is going to be built, after all, our family does not have enough money, and you know that."

Mrs. Wang is very clear about how much money the Rongguo Mansion has. A few years ago, when she was in charge of the family, she was already unable to make ends meet. She had to do some things that harmed her morality, so she barely ensured that the Rongguo Mansion could survive.It was only after Jia Ke rose that the family had more income, so she stopped these things.However, Jia's mansion is barely in surplus, so if they want to use such a large sum of money, they may be powerless.

Jia Zheng went on to say: "My mother and I have already discussed it, and we will use the dowry money from our niece first, and then slowly make up for it when our house is free."

Mrs. Wang's eyes are also bright at this time, why didn't she think that there is another way?In this way, the urgent need will be solved.

"Although we used our niece's money, there must be a reason after all, otherwise it will spread and make people laugh at our Rongguo Mansion. Therefore, I discussed with my mother and betrothed Daiyu to Baoyu. In one way, I can be worthy of Jiuquan. My sister, secondly, we are using the money, so we have something to say. What do you think?" Jia Zheng smiled all over his face, stroking his beard with his hand, and when he thought of this best-of-both-worlds solution, Mrs. Wang definitely didn't disagree.

After Mrs. Wang heard what he said, a gloomy look flashed in her eyes, but there was still a smile on her face.She also knew that this was an agreement between Jia Zheng and Jia's mother, and she couldn't change it.In fact, she is extremely dissatisfied with Lin Daiyu, and she likes her niece Xue Baochai.

In order to let Xue Baochai be her daughter-in-law, she also used Jia Ke's name to greet the people in the palace, and crossed Xue Baochai's name from the palace roster.This made Xue Baochai fail the ranking, and at this time he could only live in Rongguo Mansion.

Originally, she had thought well, and with the Xue family's current strength, they should be able to climb up to their Rongguo Mansion, so there should be no objection.But she didn't expect that Lin Daiyu would come out halfway, and at this critical juncture, she couldn't say anything to refute. She wanted to say that the Xue family could also spend money to build the Xingqin villa.

But after thinking about it, this is also completely impossible.After all, the property of the Xue family will be left to Xue Pan in the end, how can he lose all the family's money for a daughter.

Only Lin Daiyu, who has no father and no mother and lives in the old lady of Rongguo Mansion, can be single-minded and not care about Jia's mansion.

After thinking so much, Mrs. Wang has no choice. In fact, if she pools her private money together, she can get the money together, but good fortune is hard to give up.Who wants to pour out so much silver like water.Besides, she has two sons, especially the eldest son Jia Zhu, who is really not in good health.She has to plan for the rest of their lives, how can she spend all her money on making a facade for her daughter.

Although Mrs. Wang was unwilling in her heart, she could only agree on the surface, "It's better that the master is thoughtful, so it's the best of both worlds. Our family doesn't have to worry about the money."

Seeing Mrs. Wang's agreement, Jia Zheng smiled with satisfaction and said, "I plan to settle this matter for them in a couple of days. After that, I went to the old lady to pick up the money and put it in the public warehouse. Afterwards, we can discuss it with Brother Zhen in the East Mansion, and then we can find someone to draw a picture and start construction."

Mrs. Wang could only nod with a smile on the sidelines, and she could not refute the decision Jia Zheng had made.

After a day or two, rumors spread in the mansion that Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu were getting engaged.

What confirms this is that Jia Baoyu was moved out of Jiamu's room, and another room was opened for him next to Jiamu's room for him to live in.It can be regarded as separating him from Lin Daiyu.

If it was before, Jia Baoyu would have fallen out, but now he is silent.Moved out without a day's work.Presumably he also knew the reason for doing this, so he cooperated so actively.

And Lin Daiyu herself has cried secretly several times in the green gauze closet.This time crying is not sad, but weeping with joy.I feel that I have been relied on for life, and the feeling of relying on others has faded a lot.Moreover, the object of her engagement is Jia Baoyu, which is also in line with her wishes.Only then did Daiyu feel that the elders in Jia's residence hadn't forgotten her, or were they planning for her?But she didn't know that she paid a lot of money for this marriage, but according to Lin Daiyu's character, even if she knew about it, she wouldn't take it to heart.

Sure enough, within a few days, a bright red marriage letter was delivered to Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu was holding the marriage letter and weeping while reading it.Then she hugged her tightly in her arms. What was in her arms was a piece of light and fluffy paper, which was clearly what she would rely on for the rest of her life.

And the old nanny who was ordered to deliver the marriage letter to Lin Daiyu, looked at Lin Daiyu as if she was in a daze, and hurried forward and said: "Girl, the old lady is still waiting there. Miss, do you have any tokens for this old slave? So that I can take it back and call the old lady back."

Lin Daiyu just came to her senses at this time, seeing that everyone in the room was looking at her with smiles, she couldn't help but flushed with shame.But still coyly withdrew a string of beads made of huanghuali wood from her hand. This string of beads was worn by Lin Daiyu since she was a child.

Lin Daiyu handed the string of beads to Zicuckoo next to her.

Zijuan took the string of beads with a smile on her face, then found a new handkerchief from the house, wrapped it carefully, put it in a small wooden box, and finally gave it to the old mother.

When handing over with the old mama, he even handed over a piece of silver, which was regarded as happy money for the old mama to run errands.And personally sent the old nanny out of the room.

After Zijuan returned to the house, she happily said to Lin Daiyu: "Girl is fine this time, we don't have to worry about it anymore. When Yuanyang came here a few days ago, he said that you and Mr. Bao were engaged, but there was no evidence. There is no evidence, I have been unable to let it go for the past two days, and now I finally have one heart left."

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever worry about it? It makes people laugh when I say it." Lin Daiyu also replied reserved at this time, but there was a smile in her eyebrows and eyes.

Chapter 350 Qingyun

Not to mention Lin Daiyu's secret joy here, but also Aunt Xue's place in Lixiangyuan. Since hearing the news of Jia Baoyu's engagement with Lin Daiyu, there has never been a day when her face is happy.

After Xue Baochai lost the election, Aunt Xue was only thinking about how to marry Xue Baochai into the Rongguo Mansion.One must know that the current Rongguo Mansion is one of the best families in the capital, as long as Baochai marries into the Rongguo Mansion, their Xue family can be counted on.

Originally, she had already had a tacit agreement with Mrs. Wang on this matter, and she only made it clear after a while.Who would have thought that Lin Daiyu would come out halfway and ruin the good thing he got.

Aunt Xue knew the identity of her family. Although she was an imperial merchant, she was a merchant after all. I am afraid that there would never be a princely mansion in the capital that could accept Xue Baochai.

When Aunt Xue was sulking, the door curtain suddenly hit Xue Baochai and came in from the outside.

Xue Baochai greeted Aunt Xue first, and then sat down next to Aunt Xue with a smile, "What's wrong with Mom? Why haven't you been smiling for a day these days. Tell my daughter what's bothering me. I'll give You unlock it."

Seeing Xue Baochai, Aunt Xue burst into tears. She grabbed Xue Baochai's hand and choked up and said, "My Baochai, why is your life so hard? A good marriage is so yellow. You let Mom, how can I swallow this breath."

After hearing Aunt Xue's words, Xue Baochai blushed at first, and then said calmly, "What did I think it was, so it was him? If it's because of this, mother, don't worry. What you get now may not be good. Being late in the future is not necessarily bad.”
