The painting style of the princess in the Red Chamber is wrong

The crown prince and Prince Yong were beaten fifty times each. The situation in the court has finally stabilized, and Shui Jue can finally "recover".

Finally, there were not so many troubles. Once the emperor was happy, he settled the marriage of Prince Rui, and chose Chen Ning'an, the niece of Chen Yu, the first-rank uncle of Ningwu General.As soon as the news came out, people in the DPRK and China were a little confused.

This Chen Ning'an is indeed of noble status.Her father, Chen Yi, was Chen Yu's elder brother, and the position of General Ning Wu originally belonged to Chen Yi.Chen Yishan fought wars, worked hard and made great achievements, and was named a first-class uncle for his military achievements.Chen Yi's wife is from a scholarly family. Although she was released when the Empress Shengde's family was suppressed, the family heritage is still there.

When Chen Ning'an was 13 years old, her father Chen Yi died in battle, and her mother and elder brother encountered an accident on the way to Fuling.The emperor was sympathetic to Chen Yi's righteousness of dying for the country, and at the request of Mrs. Chen, made an exception to let his younger brother Chen Yu attack the first-class uncle without degrading and was named General Ningwu.

Chen Yi was a loyal princeling during his lifetime, and Chen Yi's wife's family was in the line of Empress Shengde, but Chen Yu's wife was related to the Zhen family.So it's really hard to say what faction Chen Ning'an represents.It is appropriate for the emperor to choose such a person, combined with Prince Rui's faint signs of drifting away from the vortex of seizing the heir apparent.

It's just that although Chen Ning'an said that her parents were 13 years old when they died in battle, and she was taught by the old lady later, they can't be regarded as "bereaved mother and eldest daughter". It was rumored like a wooden figure, and Mrs. Chen was too old and weak to go out to socialize. Although Mrs. Chen Yu often brought Chen Ning'an out, she had no intention of marrying her. As a result, Chen Ning'an was 22 years old and had nowhere to go.

Although outsiders looked at Chen Ning'an as serious and old-fashioned, it was not a big problem. The problem was that the elders of Chen Yu's family, who were in charge, would not propose marriage to Chen Ning'an, and it was not easy for other people to rush to him.From this point, we can know the attitude of Chen Yu's family towards Chen Ning'an.

The others didn't know what Chen Yu's family was thinking, they insisted on making a reputation as a harsh orphan girl.But his family doesn't have a prostitute, so Mrs. Chen Yu probably only cares about her own happiness.

In comparison, historians who have experienced similar experiences will be more human.Outsiders don't know how those orphan girls are doing at home, but at least they have to save face outside.Although Shi Xiangyun, the orphan girl of the historian, is still young, she has been brought out several times by the wife of the historian, and she has always spoken good things about Shi Xiangyun to the outside world.Not to mention how much dowry you will pay for marrying a niece, but people's parents always leave a lot of things for them, and it is also beneficial for people to marry well.In contrast, the Chen family went too far.The title of the historian is hereditary after all, even though the title falls to the second son of the historian after the death of the eldest historian, that is as it should be.The title of the Chen family was earned by Chen Yi himself. After Chen Yi's family went extinct, it should have been taken back by the emperor. It was the emperor's thought of Chen Yi's loyalty to serve the country that benefited his family.Therefore, Chen Yu should be grateful to Chen Yi and treat Chen Yi's only orphan girl well.

It's just the Chen family's business, others can only talk about it, no one can control it.I thought that the orphan girl was wasted like this.Who knows when the times will change, the emperor probably still remembers Chen Yi's contribution, and actually points out Chen Yi's daughter to Prince Rui, who is in the limelight, as his wife.

Anyone who is a little bit well-informed in the capital knows that the Princess Zhen who was taken before is not recorded in the royal family tree, and there is no official imperial concubine order, so it cannot be regarded as Prince Rui's original spouse.When Chen Ning'an married in, she was the original wife of Prince Rui, not a stepmother.

The people in the capital were laughing at Chen Yu's family for fetching water from a bamboo basket. While Chen Ning'an still married a good husband, they also lamented that Prince Rui married such a wife, but it didn't help him at all.

As far as the dowry is concerned, Chen Yu's property has almost been embezzled by Chen Yi's family. I don't know if the Chen family will make Chen Ning'an's dowry at least look better on the bright side because of the birth of a princess.

The emperor generally doesn't care about the inner court of his courtiers' homes.Although Chen Yu didn't have much talent, but he was well-behaved in his work, he had no merits and no faults, and he was not very noticeable among the nobles. If he hadn't chosen the concubine for Prince Rui, the emperor would really not have paid attention to him.But after noticing it now, I feel that this family is really nothing.This title was earned by Chen Yi's life. Not only did the family not appreciate it, but they also spoiled the orphan girl, and they didn't know whether his family would have the face to see his elder brother under the Nine Springs.

As for Mrs. Chen's actions, the emperor understood.The Chen family can't live without a backbone, Chen Yu is her only son, so naturally she hopes to become a prince.And she, an old and frail old man, had to rely on Chen Yu to take care of her. Although she also protected Chen Ning'an, she couldn't do anything about specific things.

But seeing that the Chen family didn't even want to pay the dowry, it really annoyed the emperor.

For the princess this time, the emperor consulted Shui Jing.In other words, this princess was chosen by Shui Jing herself.Good manners, good family background, although the family relationship is complicated, it has nothing to do with her as an orphan.It doesn't matter if she doesn't have a good relationship with her natal family. Shui Jing said that he only wants to find someone who can take care of the house, and Wang Hao's natal family doesn't care.No matter what the princess's natal family is, he will respect his wife.The emperor thought about it, yes, since the fourth son does not fight for power, it would be appropriate to choose a concubine whose natal family would not cause trouble.

It's just that this princess can't even bring out the dowry, so it's too shabby.The emperor couldn't help being angry.This decree has been sent, and it cannot be taken back.With the Chen family like this, it's a slap in the face of the royal family.

The emperor immediately called Chen Yu to scold him, from filial piety to loyalty, and finally got excited when he scolded, thinking of his own sons who made his liver hurt, so he became even more angry and scolded directly That Chen Yu was so heartless and unfaithful that he scolded Chen Yu so much that he was paralyzed on the ground and couldn't get up, so he was dragged away by the eunuch.

The emperor said bluntly that this title and position belonged to Chen Ning'an's father and brother. If Chen Yu really didn't want it, he could decide to choose an heir from the Chen family to adopt to Chen Yi.

The emperor couldn't get enough of cursing in the palace, so he directly wrote the words into an imperial decree for people to read at the Ningwu General's Mansion. Now the Chen family is really in trouble, and it has become a joke in the capital.

The historians were secretly afraid. Fortunately, Shi Xiangyun was still young, and at most he was a little cold, and there was nothing too harsh.Originally, Mrs. Shi Jia was not willing to ask Shi Xiangyun to match her husband with a maid. Seeing the miserable state of the Chen family, and thinking of her own family, which has gradually become unsacred, she was afraid that someone would bring this matter up to criticize the Shi family, so she hurriedly changed her approach. , It's a later story to really mention that Shi Xiangyun's treatment is the same as that of his own biological daughter.

Shui Jue naturally paid attention to the turmoil of the Chen family, how many of them were promoted by her, so she just laughed and said nothing.

In the previous dynasty, in order to prevent foreign relatives from monopolizing power, they would not allow women with too good family background to enter the palace.The harem of this dynasty is also the same strategy, but the first emperor was not in good health, fearing that he would go early, and the young prince would have no one to help him, so he married the prince and concubine with a good family background, and named his father Gu Ming Minister.

Only when the emperor is unable to stabilize the government, will he place his hope in the harem, bring the daughters of courtiers into the harem, and use the harem to balance the court.The current emperor is a very capable person, but he ascended the throne too early to change the policy of the harem, that's why the emperor is so indifferent to Empress Shengde.If Empress Shengci hadn't left early, and Empress Shengci's father had retreated early when the situation was not good, it is estimated that Empress Shengci's lineage would not be able to escape the same fate as Queen Shengde's lineage.

Therefore, Shui Jing doesn't need to marry a woman who is helpful to him, as long as his status is sufficient.He is preparing to ascend the throne, but not intending to seize the throne, making the superficially powerful and powerful, wouldn't it be obvious that the emperor would be suspicious.And as long as Shui Jing is capable enough and appreciated by the emperor, there will be plenty of people to find, not as conspicuous as the wives.

If Shui Jing didn't have the help of Shui Jue, to save money for him, and scout for him from the courtiers' backyards, Shui Jing had limited energy after all, so he really had to find a capable wife to help.Now that you have Shui Jue, you don't need it.

Like this time, who would have thought that there was Shui Jue's handwriting in it?

Not to mention what Chen Ning'an herself thinks about such a commotion, but it is definitely impossible for the Chen family and Chen Ning'an to reconcile.For the sake of her own status, Chen Ning'an could only tie herself firmly to the boat of Prince Rui's Mansion, and would not always think about helping her mother's family like other women from big families.In this way, it is enough.

As long as you are obedient, everything else can be taught.

..................................

Let's talk about the disgruntled Chen family, who is cautiously buying a dowry for the future Prince Rui and Princess Rui.Now that the new Princess Rui has been confirmed, the lifespan of Princess Zhen in the other courtyard should also come to an end.

Shui Jing naturally didn't want to see that person, and he didn't allow Shui Jue to see him, he just wanted to send someone a glass of poisoned wine to settle the matter.Shui Jue thought about it, and thought it was boring, so he didn't go.Ever since Princess Zhen learned that she was cheated by her own aunt, cut off her own hope of an heir, and almost caused Shui Jing to have no descendants, she became disheartened and only ate fast and recited Buddha's name.This cup of poisoned wine is also a relief.

Princess Zhen went away so quietly, Shui Jue kindly helped her restrain herself and found a place to bury her.Of course, the royal tomb must not be entered.After all these matters were resolved, Shui Jue also, urged by Nanny Li, posted a post inviting ladies from all families to enjoy the flowers, announcing that her Princess Changxing had completely recovered from her illness.After Shui Jue posted this time, the ladies of other families dared to send a post to invite Shui Jue.

Before the princess enters the door, Shui Jue still has to do the communication in the backyard of Prince Rui's mansion.But it just so happens that she now has a companion reader, which she can always use.

Shui Jue didn't realize that Lin Daiyu was only six years old, so she was too young to receive guests at this age.

Lin Daiyu went back sick for two days after seeing Shui Jue's murderous act of killing chickens and monkeys.Probably because she knew that Shui Jue was cruel and had been taught for a while, she finally figured it out for herself. After recovering from her illness, she didn't see any fear of Shui Jue.After all, Shui Jue had already told her about the unequal status, and now he just saw it again.

Although Lin Daiyu is kind, she is not stupid.For a servant who betrays the master, it is called kindness if the master only sends it out, but it should be right if he dies.Although it is cruel to directly kill the family, but keeping the family is a disaster instead.To put it bluntly, if the master is kind, the slave will bully the master; killing the chicken to make an example to the monkey will make everyone better.

The princess clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments, and never punishes innocent people. Compared with those who beat and scold their servants when they move, it is called true kindness.

Although watching death was too exciting, Lin Daiyu didn't think that Shui Jue did anything wrong.

Shui Jue saw that Lin Daiyu had really passed the test, and began to really teach Lin Daiyu.Otherwise, if you teach someone who doesn't fit with her, wouldn't it be against yourself.

..................................

In May, a lot of flowers bloomed.Shui Jue likes beautiful flowers, but she doesn't have any special hobbies for specific flowers.So she didn't bother to make any themes, and directly admired the blooming flowers, and invited all families to come and gather with their female relatives.Shui Jue also made it clear that she hoped that Chen Ning'an would definitely come.Everyone knew in their hearts that the princess wanted to see her sister-in-law in advance in the name of appreciating flowers.

Naturally, the place where Shui Jue hosted the banquet could not be Prince Rui's Mansion.Although Shui Jue didn't have a separate government, the emperor's garden has rewarded him a lot.Shui Jing treats Shui Jue very well, and buys a lot of gardens for Shui Jue to play in.Speaking of which, Shui Jue's property on the surface is already more than that of some unfavorable princes.And the emperor's other princesses don't even have a sense of existence.Shui Jue also has two imperial sisters, who were raised in the palace before marriage, and married out of town after marriage. Shui Jue grew up so big that she had never even seen each other.People in the capital said that seeing the emperor's active efforts in repairing Princess Changxing's garden, Princess Changxing would definitely stay in the capital.Therefore, the female relatives in the capital are more cautious.

Shui Jue's posts were posted on a wide range, even families that are now in decline, as long as the elder's order or the title is still there, they are all invited.The children of these families are neither high nor low, and they usually don't have much chance to go out to get together. This is a rare opportunity for them, so they bring unmarried women here one after another, and those who are not yet of marriageable age also come to see them.Show your face first, anyway, the age of engagement will come in the blink of an eye.

Among the people invited, because the Crown Princess occasionally felt the cold, and Princess Yong was in confinement, the other princes and concubines also had their own affairs, and the highest status were the old concubines of the kings of the opposite sex.Although it was just a king with a different surname, Shui Jue still saluted after him.The title of Princess Changxing is higher than that of the county king. In terms of rank, she seems to be similar to the princess of the county, but her status as the emperor's favored daughter has elevated her status. No matter how you say it, there is still a big difference between the status of a king with a foreign surname and the status of the royal family. of.So Shui Jue can actually return half a courtesy, but who made Princess Changxing a gentle, polite, kind, innocent and good-tempered little princess?Naturally, the etiquette is done enough.And other orders, even if it is a super-grade duke or wife, cannot bear the princess's gift.

The appointment was at noon, but the female relatives of all families came early.There are already many flowers in various shapes made by gardeners in the garden. From a distance, it really fits the theme of "blossoming flowers".

After everyone arrived, the luncheon started first.In order to fit the theme of this party, most of the banquets on the table are made of flowers as the main material or ingredients, or the food is made into the shape of flowers. The fish is rolled into a flower shape.

Before coming to the banquet, the female relatives had already stuffed their stomachs, so even though the dishes were extremely delicate in terms of vision and taste, they only moved a few chopsticks symbolically.Although Shui Jue is used to it, she still feels bored in her heart.It's a pity that the new cook's performance is so hard that the servants who guard the garden are cheaper.

After the dishes were removed, the maids brought a small pot of chrysanthemum tea to clean the hands of the female relatives, and then brought a small cup of scented tea to rinse their mouths, and then there were singing, dancing, opera, and juggling performances.

At this time, the female relatives dared to whisper to each other.

Shui Jue raised her head and asked Nanny Li with her eyes, and Nanny Li hurriedly whispered into Shui Jue's ear, "That's the one in the goose-yellow fairy dress."

Shui Jue nodded and looked around from afar.This person is really different from the one on the picture scroll. The appearance on the picture scroll is much more ordinary than in reality, and he just looks dull.But in reality, Chen Ning'an has a good appearance, and her temperament is also dignified and dignified. Although she is a little serious, she also has a noble look when she smiles.No wonder Chen Yu's wife only took Chen Ning'an out a few times, and she didn't want to let Chen Ning'an go out again.Shui Jue glanced at Chen Yu and Mrs. Chen from a distance, both of them had ordinary looks, maybe Chen Ning'an inherited her good looks from her mother.

Shui Jue nodded towards Nanny Li: "Tell Daiyu to go."

Nanny Li took the order immediately, and soon saw Lin Daiyu bring Chen Ning'an over with a pleasing smile: "Princess, how about sitting here with Sister Ning'an? I can't see how she is breathing fire over there." .”

"Yes, Bengong will move your place." Shui Jue said with a light smile, "Just your skin."

"Is this Miss Lin Yushi's family? Oh, she's so cute." Princess Bei Jing smiled and said, "How old are you? What books have you read?"

"It's over seven years old." Lin Daiyu was talking about the false age. "I've read so many books that I forgot what there are. The princess has a lot of homework, and I read them all, but most of them I don't understand."

"Oh, it sounds like I'm abusing you." Shui Jue tapped Lin Daiyu's forehead, turned her head to Chen Ning'an, who did not say a word after asking for peace, but said naturally and generously, "This is Sister Chen, please sit down, I was worried about how to talk to you, and you were brought here by the little monkey."

People around knew Shui Jue's attitude towards Prince Rui's marriage as soon as they heard Shui Jue call Chen Ningan's sister affectionately, and Shui Jue's attitude represented Shui Jing's attitude.Although there were rumors that the candidate was chosen by the emperor, Shui Jing's opinion was taken into account when the candidate was finally determined.It now appears that the rumor appears to be true.

"I don't dare to be a courtier." After saluting to Shui Jue, Chen Ning'an sat down on the newly placed seat by the maid.That unpretentious behavior made everyone around look at him with high regard, and they couldn't help feeling a little contempt for Chen Yu's wife in their hearts.

"Sister Chen, you don't need to be too polite." Shui Jue nodded with a smile, "It's good to see Daiyu like this, although she is not too big or small."

"I'm still young." Lin Daiyu returned a sweet smile, "I'm not too old, but I'm not too young."

Shui Jue tapped Lin Daiyu's forehead: "Shut up."

Lin Daiyu sat on the seat with her head covered, and put on a very serious expression, even Chen Ning'an couldn't help laughing.

"I just said why the princess is eager to get a little girl here as a companion, and I want to abduct her back." Dowager Bei Jing gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "Is it Daiyu?" ? Do you want to come with me? Not only do I have delicious and interesting things there, but I also have no homework."

Lin Daiyu thought about it seriously, and said seriously: "No, Daiyu accepts the bed."

"You can move the bed together." Speaking of this, Princess Bei Jing laughed again, "Okay, okay, if you don't leave, you won't leave."

After saying that, Concubine Bei Jing took off the bracelet from her hand and handed it to Daiyu: "Come and sit at my house if you have time, my house is only a few brats, and I don't even have a granddaughter to love."

"Thank you Princess Beijing soon?" Shui Jue said with a smile.

"Thank you Princess Beijing." Lin Daiyu hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Concubine Bei Jing started, and several other concubines also teased Lin Daiyu one after another.Seeing that Lin Daiyu had already attracted most people's attention, Shui Jue started talking with Chen Ning'an in a low voice.

The more they talked, the more Shui Jue felt that Chen Ning'an was definitely not the kind of person who accepted death and obeyed the rules as rumored outside, and although his knowledge and talent could not be seen, his knowledge was definitely not short.Others still need to be read slowly, but Shui Jue is quite satisfied with the first meeting.

"I heard that my sister knows the rules best," Shui Jue took a sip of tea, "What are the rules?"

Chen Ning'an froze for a moment, then said with a serious expression: "Rules set by people."

Shui Jue couldn't help laughing at this bull-headed and horse-mouthed answer: "Sister Chen is right. I and Sister Chen hit it off right away. If Sister Chen is free, come to this palace to walk around more."

Chen Ning'an breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face was a little relaxed: "Thank you, princess."

Shui Jue nodded, glanced at Lin Daiyu, who was acting coquettishly among the grandma's concubines, and thought to herself, this reading companion is still useful.

After the first "talk" between Shui Jue and Chen Ning'an, the arranged performances were almost over. The female relatives, especially the unmarried female relatives, all cheered up. The highlight of this gathering finally came.

Of course, this is only the main event for them, and for Shui Jue, it is the most boring part - the talent competition, well, it's a bit vulgar, it should be called the poetry meeting.

This poetry meeting is not just poetry, but also painting.A group of women walked gracefully among the flowers and pointed, and then began to write poems and paint paintings. The person with the best poems and paintings was selected as the leader, and Shui Jue gave a certain lottery reward.

The lottery is nothing, the key is to show your face.Women in boudoirs have very few opportunities to express themselves.Although marriages these days are blind marriages and deaf marriages, basically they only look at the family background, but the parents of the two parties are of the same family background, so it is still necessary to look at the appearance, talents, and morals of the man and woman.Needless to say, a man has a reputation outside.And women can only show themselves a little at this kind of gathering, so as to leave a good impression on the wives of each family, and look forward to seeing a good husband's family.

It's embarrassing to say, but that's the truth.

The level of the party held by Shui Jue was high enough, and Shui Jue personally gave the prize. If he could win the first prize, he would gain a reputation in the circle of officials and nobles.So those women, especially those who have reached the marriageable age, are all eager to try.Even if married women are good at this, they will hide their clumsiness and give up the opportunity to unmarried girls.This is also an unspoken agreement.

"Why, do you want to try it too?" Shui Jue said amusedly, seeing Lin Daiyu eager to try.

Lin Daiyu smiled embarrassedly at Shui Jue.

"Go." Shui Jue waved away people, "Sister Chen, go down and play too."

Chen Ning'an frowned slightly and smiled bitterly: "My daughter is not good at this... I'm making a fool of myself."

After finishing speaking, she and Lin Daiyu returned to the place below, and began to think hard about what to write.In the end, the two of them teamed up to submit a work. Chen Ning'an did the painting, and Lin Daiyu wrote the poem, which chanted the summer flowers.

Ladies who did not participate would join the selection, Shui Jue and the concubines only looked at the top ten people with the highest ratings, and Chen Ning'an and Lin Daiyu happened to be selected.

"As expected of the princess who taught me this, it's really inspirational." Concubine Nan'an hurriedly said this time after being preempted by Concubine Beijing just now, "I can already write such poems at such a young age, I should be the leader."

Concubine Beijing sneered at Concubine Nan'an's eagerness in her heart, her face was full of approval: "I also think it should be so."

The other two concubines seemed to react a little slower, and they said yes again and again.

Shui Jue smiled and said: "Although it is really rare for her to write such poems at this age, you can't spoil her too much because of her young age. In my opinion, it is enough to give her another lottery as a consoling reward to play around with." , so I'm so used to it. But Sister Chen's paintings are really good, pointing out that she is the leader, do you have any objections, do you concubines?"

Of course the concubines said they had no objections.Not to mention that Chen Ning'an's paintings are indeed outstanding, even if they are not outstanding, who would dare to say no to Princess Changxing who wants to give her sister-in-law a face?

However, Lin Daiyu's poetry is indeed the most outstanding among these women, and she deserves her name as the leader.It's just that Lin Daiyu is the youngest, and it's not beautiful to be in the limelight today, and Shui Jue can be regarded as protecting her.

It is normal for Lin Daiyu to stand out among these female relatives.Lin Ruhai personally came to her enlightenment, and Jia Min is also a talented person.Later, she studied with Shui Jue, and just based on the books she read, she was many times more than ordinary ladies.Some ladies here have only read superficial books such as Nvjie and Nvsishu, so it is not bad if they can write poems fluently.

Besides, Lin Daiyu is the reincarnation of Fairy Crimson Pearl at any rate, she is intelligent and has aura, which is not comparable to ordinary women.

Lin Daiyu's hands were itchy when she went down, so it didn't matter if she won the first prize or not.Hearing what Shui Jue said, Lin Daiyu laughed and begged for a one-day holiday to make a fortune. She said that she had learned too much a while ago and her head hurt, and she was beaten by Shui Jue again, which made the ladies around laugh. Lin Daiyu was in the limelight before , overwhelmed the discomfort of the daughter they brought, and faded away.

Thinking about it, Lin Tanhua's daughter, Princess Changxing's companion, is so outstanding at such a young age.Before Jia Min got married, she was also recognized as the most poetic woman among the women in the capital.

Because Lin Daiyu's poems were not made public, the women down there didn't know that they were suppressed by a little girl. They only thought that the concubines were trying to curry favor with Princess Changxing, and Lin Daiyu really only got a consolation.

The leader of painting was taken away by Chen Ning'an, and the leader of poetry writing was Wu Shilang's daughter.Shui Jue glanced at Miss Wu, and suddenly remembered that when this person paid his respects, Langzhong Wu's wife seemed to have mentioned whether her brother would come back, and Miss Wu still looked disappointed.Shui Jue couldn't help laughing, thinking, this is another person who wants to enter the palace.However, it's normal for someone to have such an ambition. Langzhong Wu is listening to the scenery in other places, but in the capital, he is just a handful of regular fifth-rank officials.Wu Langzhong's daughter looks like a rare beauty, and it's normal to want to climb high.Looking at it now, Miss Wu's upbringing also went to the palace and various palaces.

In addition to the slight impression of Ms. Wu Shui Jue, what also caught Shui Jue's attention was Jia Xichun who got the third place in Huahua.There is no other reason, except that Jia Xichun looks slightly smaller than Lin Daiyu.Others at her age may not be able to hold a pen steadily, but her paintings are better than those girls in their teens.

"I don't know if it's because Daiyu and Jia Xichun are too powerful, or because the women in the capital are imitating the Wang family's way of raising their daughters?" Shui Jue said inwardly.

Not to mention Shui Jue, some other noble ladies also looked very dull.A few years ago, the Wang family thought it was a bad thing to raise their daughter, which became a joke for everyone, and even the Jia He family, who had been optimistic about the daughter of the Wang family, was silent.If Jia's mother hadn't made the decision to tell Miss Wang's family to Jia Rong, it is estimated that the Wang family and Jia's family would have a rift.Until now, the jokes of the Wang family have faded away. Who doesn't raise their daughter well now?I didn't expect to be overtaken by two little kids, it really made those women feel very uncomfortable.

But this is also normal.The gentlemen hired for women are not very good, and not all the mistresses are talented, and the officials and lords of each family tend to ignore their daughters, so it is not bad to have this level.

It's just that Lin Daiyu and Jia Xichun's talents are not as good as ordinary people's.

"Speaking of which, the Jia family and your family are related." Shui Jue looked at Lin Daiyu and said with a smile, "Who is Jia Xichun, come here and let me have a look."

A petite girl walked over with a trace of restraint, and greeted Shui Jue.

"Miss Lin's great-grandfather and Miss Jia's great-grandfather are brothers." Nanny Li introduced, "There is indeed some relationship."

"Coincidentally, I saw that my sisters were all older than me, and I finally saw this one who was younger than me today." Lin Daiyu said happily.

Jia Xichun was not very good at talking, when she heard Lin Daiyu's teasing, she only blushed and responded a few times.

"I heard that Jia Xichun was taught by Shi Taijun, and Shi Taijun really knows how to teach people." Shui Jue slightly praised, "Seeing that you love painting so much, giving you such a set of painting tools is not an insult to it. And Use it well."

"Thank you princess." Jia Xichun looked a little more excited now, obviously he liked the painting set that the princess gave him very much.

"The princess is absurd, I dare not be an old lady." Mrs. Jia's imperial order is second only to the concubine of the county concubine, Mrs. Yipin, who is more noble than Yipin's imperial order. Naturally, her seat is quite close to Shui Jue.It's just that when Jia Lian returned to Beijing, she brought back the news that Jia Min had killed several old servants who had gone to the Jia family, so that she could understand that Jia Min might know that she helped the Zhen family to deliver the news, and she had already had a gap with herself, so I dare not send someone to pick up Lin Daiyu.Since Princess Changxing had a good relationship with Lin Daiyu, Mrs. Jia also felt guilty, so she didn't dare to look for presence in front of Shui Jue.Now that Princess Changxing praised her, she dared to speak up.Mrs. Jia thought to herself, since Princess Changxing has such a kind attitude, she probably doesn't know or care about the Lin family's affairs, then maybe Lin Daiyu is so young and doesn't know about the Lin family's affairs, some things can still be planned.

Now we can't use news from the Lin family to please the eldest prince. Jia He and Jia Lian also look like their wings are stiff. They refuse to listen to her and go to make friends with Prince Yong or the prince. The future of her good grandson can only be learned from Lin Daiyu. I've done it.

Thinking of Lin Daiyu, as the daughter of a high-ranking official, and the companion of Princess Changxing, if she can marry her own Baoyu, wouldn't it be the help of her own Baoyu's career?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Jia's attitude softened a bit: "Daiyu has grown up so much, she looks more and more like Laoshen's little girl. When Daiyu is free, come and visit my grandmother more often. Your uncles miss you very much."

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Thank you for your grandmother's concern. My mother is also very concerned about my grandmother's health. She also asked Daiyu to thank her grandmother and second aunt after she came to Beijing. Thanks to the imperial doctor's careful care from her grandmother and second aunt, my brother's illness will be cured." It’s so fast. When Daiyu is free, she must visit my grandmother.”

What Lin Daiyu said was impeccable, and the people around didn't think there was anything wrong with it, it seemed that it was just a daughter talking about her mother's family.But these words were extremely sarcastic in Mrs. Jia's ears.She already knew about the fact that the fake old imperial doctor was driven away, and she was also annoyed that the second daughter-in-law did not handle things properly—after all, in those days, she handed over the common affairs of the Jia family to Mrs. Wang, and this imperial doctor was also invited by Mrs. Wang. Yes, she still trusts the Wang family.So the words of thanks were extremely ironic in Madam Jia's ears.

Of course Mrs. Jia knew that Jia Min must have taught Lin Daiyu this sentence to stab her.But she was not sure whether Lin Daiyu knew the meaning behind this sentence.Seeing that Lin Daiyu is still young, she doesn't seem to know that much.Maybe she really just thought it was Jia Min's words to express her closeness to her natal family?

Although being an old lord for so many years has worn away most of Mrs. Jia's scheming, she still held her composure, and immediately said kindly: "Min'er, you are welcome, we are all a family, what can we thank you for. Now that Daiyu has come to the capital, she just treats her grandmother's house as her own. Oh, please forgive me, the princess. The old man is so happy to see his granddaughter. When he thinks about Min'er who hasn't seen her for many years, he can't help but gossip a bit Sentence, let the princess laugh."

"Mother and son are filial piety, this is human nature, there is nothing to forgive." Shui Jue, who knew the inside story, laughed inwardly, "Mr. Shi is too worried."
