Mrs. Pin, one of the Red House

Qin Keqing added another sentence, "Grandma, do you think this is the case?"

You Shi paused for a moment, she was the stepmother, her family background was not comparable to others, and she had never seen any big scenes, when she encountered a problem, she couldn't even come up with an idea, she only knew to stir her hands secretly, and put a piece of handkerchief on her face. Wrinkled and wrinkled, she found that Qin Keqing was looking at her, so she pretended to pick up a piece of Qianqiu Bergamot Cake with chopsticks, chewed it slowly, and said after a long time: "I think..." She looked at Keqing's expression , the words turned a corner, "Maybe, maybe it is?"

It's no wonder that she has been unable to display her mother-in-law's money.

Keqing originally wanted to discuss with You Shi, but when she got such an answer, she laughed out of anger, "Mother-in-law, you really don't even have an idea!"

Youshi's cheeks flushed, and he lowered his head in embarrassment, at the same time annoyed that he had lost face in front of his daughter-in-law.

Unexpectedly, even if You Shi could not step down, she could only swallow her anger, and at the same time wondered how she agreed to invite this Buddha back that day.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, otherwise Youshi would have to buy it, boil it and swallow it.

Qin Keqing didn't know what was on Youshi's mind, so she took a spoon and slowly stirred the bowl of sweet and soft purple rice and longan porridge, and said after a long time: "If you are willing to listen to me, I will go back to my mother's house tomorrow. Ask her to find someone to ask."

Both of them knew that the mother's family Qin Keqing mentioned was not the Qin family at all.

Youshi lowered his head and said hesitantly, "So...well, okay, it's up to you."

Qin Keqing looked at the chime clock on the wall, took out a small gold cover pocket watch, checked the time, and said with a smile: "Grandma, if you have nothing else to do, the second grandma of Rongguo Mansion invited me to have tea."

"Go, you little ones, go and have fun, otherwise it will be boring to stay at home all day." You Shi laughed.

She wished Qin Keqing could leave quickly.

Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along quite strangely, but Qing's mother is a princess, but Ke Qing is an illegitimate child, and his status is high or low... At least it is much higher than Jia's. It is the blood of the royal family, and it was also secretly given a jade certificate, but it lacks the name of a serious princess.

Because the emperor couldn't keep his face off, this was a scandal for the royal family, and he couldn't recognize it if he was killed.

It also caused inconvenience for Youshi and Keqing to get along with each other. Hearing Keqing calling her mother-in-law, Youshi sometimes felt stomach ache and headache, and there was nothing good about her body.

Other mother-in-laws can take out the mother-in-law's money and ask their daughter-in-law to make concessions in front of them and set up rules. When it comes to her, hehe, it would be good if she doesn't need to make up the rules for Qin Shibu.

Qin Keqing turned and left, and went back to her room to clean her hands, Rui Zhuzhu hurriedly asked: "Madam, do you want to change?"

Qin Keqing nodded and casually pointed to one.

That dress has dark purple large sleeves, embroidered with endless roses, and the sleeves, collar, and neckline are decorated with pearls, which are rose-colored and have big thumbs. What's rare is that even the luster is the same mild.

Ruizhu hurriedly looked for a matching skirt, and matched it with jewelry according to the clothes. After Qin Keqing was dressed properly, several people followed in the sedan chair and went to Rongguo Mansion.

Xifeng also got up early today, arranged the house in advance, changed to get the right card, and arranged everything for the carriage and horses. Today is the official day of the three-day banquet at the father's house for the full moon wine, and they are all going to Lin's house in the middle of the capital. Inside the ancestral house.

But now he was entangled by things, and Mrs. Wang came over.

After Mrs. Wang came over, she asked about returning gifts and clothes materials to Zhen's House. Xifeng replied one by one, saying: "It's all arranged."

Mrs. Wang nodded in satisfaction, took a sip of her tea, and suddenly asked Xifeng: "This is a big event now, the three girls in our family, do you think they should be well-dressed or ordinary?"

Mrs. Wang is sometimes shrewd, and sometimes she is a little uncertain. Fortunately, Xifeng is married, and she is happy to push things to Xifeng.

She looked at Xifeng, this question, firstly, because she was a little uncertain, secondly, she just wanted to test whether Xifeng could seriously handle weddings and weddings on her own.

What a girl wears when she goes out to social parties is a very particular matter, if she acts carelessly, even if it is a little inappropriate, it will implicate the girls in the whole family.

Xifeng has various ideas in her mind, most of the guests today are the family members of Lin Hai's colleagues, if according to Xifeng's opinion, it is Jia's current three springs, they should dress up well, so as not to be ashamed when the time comes.

She can understand Mrs. Wang's embarrassment. Dressing up is natural, but it's hard to control the speed.

You can't overshadow those who shouldn't be overshadowed, and you have to show the demeanor of the Duke's government...

But is the question that simple?

Xifeng looked at Mrs. Wang, sporadic cold sweat broke out on her back.

Xifeng also found it a bit tricky. She was a new housekeeper, so she naturally wanted to cover everything, and then she began to wonder if she really asked this question, or if there was something in her words, intentional, and she couldn't say it for a long time. Ask, ask her directly.

Mrs. Wang smiled, and said with a little disappointment: "You are still young after all, so let's practice for a few more years."

He said he was going to leave, but he heard a notification from someone outside, saying, "Grandma Dongfu is here."

"Please." Xifeng said hastily, and explained to Mrs. Wang with a smile, "Today, I made an appointment with Grandma to drink tea before I leave."

"Well, that's what it should be. If you go out to greet me, I won't stay. It's inconvenient for me to talk to you." Mrs. Wang was of course willing to see Xifeng and Ke Qing getting closer, and told Xifeng and the others to be nice. Entertain, this is leaving.

Ever since Qin Keqing got married, one day I didn't know whether it was on purpose or not, I mentioned Zhao Jieyu of the Han Dynasty in front of her, which scared Mrs. Wang into a cold sweat, so until now I feel a little timid towards Qin Keqing, so naturally I just said nothing. leave.

In the end, she had a ghost in her heart, and she couldn't blame others for this.

As a result, when going out, just in time for Qin Keqing to enter the door, Qin Keqing smiled sweetly, frightened Mrs. Wang's heart trembled, and hurriedly walked out from the hanging flower corridor.

Qin Keqing looked at Mrs. Wang wonderingly.

What's going on here?

In her memory, this Mrs. Wang rarely lost her composure.

At this moment, Xifeng came out to welcome Keqing, and took Keqing's hand, "But I'm looking forward to you." Pointing to her own neck, "Look, I hoped for a long neck, and said, how can you make up for it?" I?"

"Look at what you said." Qin Keqing was amused, "Second Grandma makes fun of me all the time."

##

Jia Min has been guarding the two children since early in the morning, sitting on the edge of the bed, watching the children sleep soundly.

Daiyu sighed, walked over and said, "Mother?"

Jia Min hugged Daiyu and pressed Daiyu into her arms. There was a lot of screaming, and the maids around were a little silly, and they didn't dare to go over. Instead, they all retreated in unison.

"Mother, what's the matter?" Daiyu picked up the handkerchief and wiped Jia Min's tears, "Since the monk said that I was not allowed to hear crying all day long, mother and father have kept telling me not to cry all day long. Crying, and issued a strict order to the servant girl, why are you still crying today?"

That day when Monk Laitou came, Daiyu was a little sensible. Ever since he came, she didn't know what father and mother had said. Daiyu only remembered that after her mother came out of her father's study, she gave strict orders to the family. , simply put in three words - don't cry.

At that time, she fell down, or was sick and uncomfortable. Lin Hai always had a straight face and said sternly not to cry, but Jia Min held her in his arms with a worried face and told her not to cry.

Daiyu couldn't bear the worries of her parents. Although she didn't understand it at the time, for her, the only thing she could do was to swallow her tears back even when she was wronged.

For some reason, since then, she felt that the veil on her face disappeared in front of many things. Whether it was the Analects of Confucius or the Five Classics, she could understand it at once, but she felt that her family, all kinds of Relatives are very far away from themselves.

In fact, take Baoyu as an example, this person is rebellious and does not pursue fame and fortune. He should have been the one who suits her the most, and she could have been her confidant, but for some reason, seeing him speak, she became very annoyed. .

The unlucky Jia Min lived with Jia's mother, and she and Baoyu also looked down and saw each other.

So she could find Youzi staying in her ancestral house, so she wanted to run away from Jia's house.

She didn't know why, she was here to persuade Jia Min, but she thought of miscellaneous things and froze there.

After hearing what Daiyu said, Jia Min suddenly panicked, seeing Daiyu lost in thought, hurriedly wiped away her tears, saying: "Mother, don't cry, please don't cry, really don't cry, mother begs you. "

Daiyu came back to her senses, held Jia Min's hand, sat down next to Jia Min, and said with a smile, "Mother, I don't want to cry."

The hairpin had pointed ends, so Daiyu picked up the blue jade pendant tied to her skirt, and teased the two children. The children were not very old, but their necks were already stiff, and they stretched out their hands indiscriminately to grab their mouths. Seeing that the child was about to cry, Daiyu quickly stuffed something into Jia Min's hand and said to Jia Min, "Mother, they seem to be about to cry."

One of the twins cried, and the other couldn't run.

Jia Min sighed, "It's not like that." She hugged the two children one by one, "Kids love to cry."

"Don't hold it, just swallow it for a while." Jia Min looked down and saw Lin Zheng put the jade pendant in his mouth, and quickly snatched it away.

Daiyu's jade pendant happened to be small, and Lin Zheng held it in his mouth just now, afraid that Lin Zheng would swallow it, which really scared Jia Min into a cold sweat.

Jia Min took the jade pendant and said to Daiyu: "Take something bigger to tease my younger brother in the future, otherwise he will keep it in his mouth... in his mouth... in his mouth..."

Jia Min and Daiyu were both taken aback at this moment.

Daiyu understood, but the news and idea were too shocking, causing her to react quickly, but she didn't say anything for a long time, or she couldn't find anything to say, and she said after a long time: "Mom, I think , Could it be that we are overthinking it?"

"I don't think so." Jia Min shook his head, "I have a hunch." Liu Ye raised her eyebrows and suddenly showed a bit of sternness, "Why did your grandmother never tell me?"

"You still say that the two Yu'er are a good match, and the quarrel for a long time is premeditated." Jia Min suddenly became angry, put the child down and flicked his sleeves, and threw the teacup on the table to the ground.

"This is a partnership set up for me, isn't it?"

The maidservant in the outer room was startled by the sound of shattering porcelain, and a young girl couldn't bear it any longer, and secretly raised her head to look, "Ma'am, girl...are you alright?"

Daiyu got up and walked to the door, waved her hand to the servant girl, and said, "It's okay, my mother slipped her hand, and I'll call you in to clean up later." She closed the door without any hassle.

Jia Min's face flushed with anger, but Daiyu asked, "What did grandma tell you?"

Jia Min sneered, "Guess what your grandmother said? You were born with jade, and your grandmother named you Daiyu at that time, and you also had a jade. It's not a coincidence now, your grandmother just said Throw it in there, what a match made in heaven or something."

"I remember that Sister Bao has a golden lock?" Daiyu suddenly remembered what Ning Yun had mentioned to her. But it's just a pair.

"And the eight characters on the golden lock of Sister Bao and Baoyu... the eight characters on the piece of jade of cousin Jia's family are a pair. Sister Bao plans to enter the palace in the future. I think mother is thinking too much." ?”

Daiyu admits that apart from subjective factors, she appreciates Baoyu. Although Baoyu can't do anything else and doesn't make progress in reading, he is indeed talented, and he also has an appetite for her. He is also caring for her sisters on weekdays, but she never thought about this possibility. , because today's marriage pays more attention to the right marriage, there is a saying of marrying a daughter from a high family.

Her father is now the Zuo Buzheng, and her future marriage partner can only be the son of an official family of the same rank or higher, or the family of the hereditary Iron Hat Duke Hou Ye.

Jia Baoyu's father was just a foreigner, without a title, and Yuan Chun is now just a female history...

Baochai was born in an imperial businessman, and now he is trained according to the rules of concubines, and he is going to enter the palace.

Daiyu felt that her mother was overwhelmed, but it was just a coincidence.

But Jia Min snorted, "What do you know, Baochai was born with the intention of telling Baoyu, but afterward, the Wang family found another way."

Daiyu was a little taken aback.

"Xue's family is rich, although Baochai is the daughter of a merchant, but their family is an imperial merchant, right? Not to mention the marriage and marriage, there will naturally be a lot of dowry in the future, which just makes up for the current shortage of the Jia family. That's what I said that day Okay, but Xue Wang's current plan is Baochai's entry into the palace for draft, so your second aunt is naturally pretending to be stupid no matter what. Your second aunt dare not turn against Xue Wang, so she can only pretend that this didn't happen Yes." Jia Min sighed and stroked Daiyu's long hair, "Yu'er, you don't know."

"This is a little too much." Daiyu said this for a long time.

"Now that the Xue family doesn't agree, it just so happens that the Jia family doesn't like the fact that the Xue family is a merchant. If it weren't for Wan Jin's dowry, your second aunt would nod this way? Well, now you still have a crush on our family." Jia Min was angry. The speech is incoherent.

Daiyu thought for a while, she was angry in her heart, but she was afraid that Jia Min's anger would spoil her body, so she didn't dare to say anything, but she made up her mind, and quickly comforted her mother, saying: "Mom, don't be in a hurry, it won't be a big deal."
