Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn

Daiyu is only one year younger than Baoyu, and she is the daughter of the inspector of Yanyan. Aren't Baoyu and Baoyu a natural match?

Jia's mother loves Baoyu the most, but she wants to give Baoyu everything that is good, and she doesn't care about anything else. Now Lin Ruhai praises Baoyu very much, unlike Jia Zheng who always blows his beard and stares at Baoyu. Thinking about it, he thinks Baoyu is good. Lin Ruhai is now in a high position and authority, if there is such a support from the Yue family, why worry about Baoyu's future?

The more Jia Mu thought about it, the more she thought it was a good idea.

Daiyu is the granddaughter of his direct relative, and Jia Min is the daughter he loves the most. When Daiyu comes in in the future, can she not kiss her?Since Jia's mother loved Baoyu so much, she naturally didn't want Baoyu's future daughter-in-law to stay away from her, but to get closer to Mrs. Wang.

Mother Jia also thought about how honorable it is for Daiyu to get a reward from the palace on Sunday. Even the Princess Princess may not be able to get such kind of grace. If such a good daughter doesn't start early, many people will miss her Well, it was an important decision early on. Thinking of this, Jia's mother called Jia Zheng that night and confided to him her intention of marrying the Lin family.

Jia Zheng admired Lin Ruhai the most, and heard that Daiyu only grasped the pen and ink of the Book of Songs, which was far better than Baoyu, and heard that Lin Ruhai loved this woman very much, so there was no reason not to agree, so he hurriedly laughed and said: "Everything is up to the mother. "

Jia Mu sighed, "I'm all for Baoyu."

Jia Zheng hurriedly bowed and said, "It's really the son's fault that Baoyu made his mother worry so much."

Jia's mother said angrily, "Why are you scolding Baoyu? Didn't you hear that my aunt was full of praise for Baoyu? As I said earlier, Baoyu has a great fortune, but it's just that his temper is weird. After all, it doesn't matter. This alone Bingxue is smart, who in the house can compare? If you can get the support of your sister-in-law in the future, are you afraid that you will not have a bright future?"

A smile flashed across Jia Zheng's face, strict father and loving mother, why doesn't he love Baoyu?It's just that with Jia Zhu and Zhuyu in front and Baoyu behind Zhou, he inevitably values ​​Jia Zhu more in his heart, not to mention that Aunt Zhao is pregnant again.

Jia's mother said again: "You know your sister-in-law's knowledge. It would be better if we were more in-laws."

Jia Zheng thought for a while and said, "I just don't know if my sister-in-law is willing or not."

Mother Jia raised her brows and said, "Your sister is my direct daughter, so why don't you want it? Besides, how can you pick out someone who is better than Baoyu in the world? Besides, your niece married into our family. Worrying about your parents-in-law being mean, and not worrying about being wronged, that would be great. Just rest assured, I have an idea about this. "

Jia Zheng thought it right. Daiyu would feel aggrieved when she married into someone else's family. She couldn't compare to her grandmother and aunt. Bow should be.

Jia Zheng said, "Should I tell my wife about this?"

Jia Mu shook her head and said, "What are you going to tell your wife about something you haven't seen yet? Let's keep it in your heart first, and it won't be too late to tell her when you have an idea." Before, she couldn't let her know, lest she would not want this marriage because of her own selfishness.

Jia Zheng didn't understand what Jia's mother was thinking, so he had to agree.

But Mrs. Wang is such a character, there is no one in Rongguo Mansion, even though she is not as powerful as Jia Mu in the mansion, there are always a few people who often give her news, and soon know what Jia Mu and Jia Zheng said, they It was said in the inner room that someone was taking care of Baoyu in the green gauze cabinet, so he heard a few words and told Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang was not aware that she was angry. Her own son married a daughter-in-law. Could it be that she, as a mother, has no control over her?She didn't know what Jia's mother meant, but she wanted Baoyu's daughter-in-law to get closer to her instead of herself.

Jia Zhu appointed Miss Li, and Li Shouzhong was a fourth-rank Imperial Academy sacrificial wine. His scholarly fragrance was noble, and Jia Zhu would inevitably need the help of the Li family when he studied and became an official. It was also decided by Jia Zheng. It was very repressive, after all, Jia Zheng was only from the fifth grade, if she was wronged by Li Wan, maybe she would go back to her mother's house and cry, the Li family would be annoyed, and they might not treat Jia Zhu wholeheartedly.Therefore, she only thought that Baoyu's marriage proposal in the future must be satisfactory to herself. How could she have thought that Jia's mother would be the master to marry Jia Min's daughter.

Mrs. Wang is now afraid of Lin Ruhai and dare not do anything to Jia Min, but Lin Ruhai beheaded her natal brother, how could she marry Lin Daiyu as her daughter-in-law without any grievances?At the beginning, I hoped that Sister Feng would come in so that I could get close to him. Mother Jia took a fancy to Daiyu, maybe she had the same idea as me.She must not let her daughter-in-law get close to Jia's mother.

Mrs. Wang was not born to be Baoyu's master, so she could only hope that Lin Ruhai would not agree.

But Lin Ruhai came out from Jia's house and went to visit Shen's house the next day, but didn't go anywhere else, because Emperor Xuankang was busy with matters in northern Xinjiang and had no time to summon him, so he worried about Zhang Dahu's marriage.

Although Zhang Dahu is now at the fifth rank, he was born in a poor family. The famous families in the capital think that he is poor, they don't even have a house, and they don't want to marry him with a thousand gold.Knowing that Zhang Dahu is both civil and military, he will be in charge of the Beijing camp in the future, and will be ranked first, but Lin Ruhai looks down on the daughters of those small officials and officials, and he can't help feeling a little annoyed.

When Gu Yue came to see him, seeing this, he said with concern: "What is worthy of you?"

Lin Ruhai couldn't help but said: "It's not about Huzi. He is now in his twenties. Although I don't treat him like my own son, I treat him as a junior. He has no parents, so the marriage is natural. I should make the decision." He wanted to reunite his mother and son, but the name was not right, and it was not easy to inquire about the Zhao family's affairs, so he had to put it aside temporarily.

Back then when Gu Yue and Lin Ruhai returned to Gusu from Jinling, they naturally recognized Zhang Dahu. Now when they got off the boat in Beijing, they saw him come to pick up Lin Ruhai, so they naturally liked him a little more. Hearing what Lin Ruhai said, he smiled and said, "You are in the capital." I can't stay for a few days, how to deal with his marriage? Why bother? Although he has an official position and rank, he has no foundation. An ordinary official's family must look down on him when choosing relatives. However, he walks in front of the imperial court. People are willing to marry him."

Lin Ruhai sighed, and said: "I really want to choose a good marriage for him, but I am not satisfied for a while. Those who are willing to marry him may not be because he walks around in front of the imperial court. I don't like it."

As he spoke, he laughed again: "Huzi is full of knowledge and skill in martial arts. He was born in the martial arts examination and was the number one scholar in high school. Leaving aside his background, how many children from those aristocratic families can compete with him? I'm not boasting. There are eight who can't compare to him. As the saying goes, a hero doesn't ask where he came from, and it would be too superficial to place too much emphasis on his origin."

Gu Yue chuckled, thought for a while, and quite agree with Lin Ruhai's words, Zhang Dahu is indeed extremely outstanding, even his own two sons can't compare, so he couldn't help but joked: "If you want, how about my daughter? "

Lin Ruhai was startled when he heard this.

Gu Yue did have a daughter named Gu Yi, who was 14 years old. I don't want her to marry in the local area, and I am afraid that Gu Yue will return to Beijing, and he will be thousands of miles away from his daughter, so he is still staying in his boudoir.

In her previous life, Gu Yi married into a well-connected family with the Gu family, with a very good reputation, but not long after they got married, they showed their true nature, greedy for drink and lust, and refused to let Jia Lian go, even worse.It turns out that in order to say that they are a good family, they have pretended to be clean and self-sufficient before. If they were not afraid of Gu Yue's promotion, they might have treated Yingchun like Sun Shaozu.Even so, the husband is lustful, the mother-in-law is mean, Gu Yi's life is not going well, and the husband dotes on his concubine too much, and has no children under his knees.

Thinking of this, although Lin Ruhai felt that Zhang Dahu was definitely worthy of Gu Yi, but when he thought of the two families, he said: "Although Huzi has a bad background, in terms of ability and character, he is indeed worthy, but you are willing to marry your daughter ?”

Gu Yue chuckled, and said, "How can I not believe what you taught me?"

He was joking, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that they were a perfect match. He couldn't help but said, "You know, I don't care about the rules in the eyes of the world. So what if I get married? A saint's daughter chooses a son-in-law, isn't she married?" You said it yourself, heroes don’t ask where they come from, not to mention Huzi has such a character and ability, my daughter used to be of high rank, and she didn’t have any bad relatives to make trouble. There are so many children from the family!"

Lin Ruhai couldn't help but feel joyful. The marriage between the two families can not only choose a good wife for Zhang Dahu, but also save Gu Yi from the miserable life in his previous life. In his opinion, it is a good thing to have the best of both worlds, but he still said: "It's hard for you I like him."

Gu Yue said with a smile: "The more I think about it, the more I think it's good. Brother Ruhai, what do you think? Huzi is now a fifth rank, only one rank or two lower than me, but he is young, so he might not be able to be promoted in the future. He is decent and upright, so far he has never been promiscuous, quite like you,

What do I dislike?To be honest, I think I'm not as good as him. "

Lin Ruhai laughed loudly, and said: "I didn't say that, Hu Zi is indeed very good, maybe you and I are not as good as him in the future!"

As he said that, he said with a serious expression: "There is only one thing, although Hu Zi is not my own son, I have never neglected him. It is not good for him to come from a family background. , This marriage is not a good one, so as not to cause quarrels in the future. Huzi still has a mother, whose whereabouts are unknown so far, a woman's family is living in a foreign country, maybe she has encountered something, if one day reunites with Huzi, your daughter You can't look down on your mother-in-law."

Gu Yue said seriously: "How can I not know about my daughter? A harmonious relationship between husband and wife and harmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a sign of prosperity. Our family has gone through all these things and has been treated with cold eyes from the world. My daughter will never look down on others because of her birth."

When Lin Ruhai heard this, Fang Huanyue became joyful and said, "So, you really like Huzi? After all, he is a martial artist."

Gu Yue said: "If Huzi was not taught by you, I don't feel relieved! So what if he is a martial artist? I pay attention to these things. If you agree, then send an official matchmaker to propose marriage. If Huzi doesn't agree, then just leave here Forget it. Anyway, I'm just such a daughter, and I don't expect her to marry a high-ranking official to win power for our family. I only hope that she will marry safely and live a happy life."

Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "I'll discuss it with Huzi, you just need to rest assured."

After sending Gu Yue away, Lin Ruhai called Zhang Dahu and said that he had chosen a marriage for him, and that she was Gu Yue's daughter.

Zhang Dahu was stunned, and then said: "What is my background? How can I be worthy of the daughter of the Gu family? What's more, I have no home and job now, and I only have such a salary for a year, so why should I get married? I have insulted the young lady. What's more, there is news from the palace that the northern border is in chaos, and I want to serve in the army, and I don't know if I will live or die, let alone agree."

Lin Ruhai was also taken aback when he heard the words, but he forgot that Zhang Dahu joined the army and had to leave.

Zhang Dahu respectfully said: "Sir, please reject the Gu family for me, I am a person with nothing, and I will go out with the army in a few days, I dare not delay Miss's life."

Lin Ruhai thought for a while, and said, "Huzi, tell me the truth, apart from family business and military service, are you willing to have this marriage?"

A trace of shyness flashed across Zhang Dahu's face, and he said in a low voice: "Master Gu has taken such a fancy to me, I'm naturally flattered, there is no reason why I don't want to? The master chose this marriage for me, I must have a very good character."

Lin Ruhai smiled immediately when he heard him tell the truth, and said, "As long as you are willing, it is not difficult to work hard to create a family business based on your ability. Besides, even if you are married, you don't get married in front of your eyes. Miss Gu's family has not What about Jiji? Now, let me ask Mr. Gu what he means, and tell him that you want to serve in the army. If he is still willing to get married, when you come back safely and become famous, we will send official media to your door to ask for marriage. What do you think? Mr. Gu? If you care, don’t belittle yourself.”

At such an age, Zhang Dahu had long wanted to marry a wife and have children, but now he wanted to join the army, so he put it aside for the time being, but he was full of ambitions, and he didn't think he was inferior to the children of those aristocratic families. Since Lin Ruhai said so, Gu Yue has taken a fancy to himself again, so why not agree?Lin Ruhai treated him very well, so he would definitely not choose a bad marriage.

Hearing that Zhang Dahu said he was willing, Lin Ruhai went to Gu's house again.

When Gu Yue heard it, he admired it instead, and told Lin Ruhai: "If Huzi joins the army, just rest assured, when he comes back, you come to ask for marriage, anyway, I want to keep my daughter at home for a few years."

Zhang Dahu is naturally grateful to Gu Yue, Gu Yue doesn't mind his background, and promised him with a thousand gold, what shortcomings does he have?

On the contrary, Mrs. Gu felt sorry for her daughter, and wanted her to marry into a scholarly family, and play harmoniously, but after listening to Gu Yue's detailed explanation, Zhang Dahu is a man with both civil and military skills. He is no worse than his own son in terms of talent and learning.With Lin Ruhai as a guarantor, their family has benefited a lot from Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai is an upright gentleman, since Zhang Dahu has a bright future, it is not a lie.Mrs. Gu didn't care much about Zhang Dahu's expedition, she originally said that she would marry him when he returned safely, if he never returned, her family would naturally choose someone else for her daughter, and it would not delay her life.

Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Gu also thinks that Zhang Dahu's marriage is good. No matter what, her daughter will not be wronged if she marry at a low price. Zhang Dahu has no parents, and her daughter was able to be the master of the family in the past. As a person, his daughter has to come forward for all social activities, so he would not be mean to her daughter if he thought about it.

In a few days, Zhang Dahu really asked for his order to go to the northern border. Emperor Xuankang loved his bravery, and he was not short of a dragon ban captain in the palace. He also heard that Lin Ruhai highly praised him, saying that he was brave and resourceful, so he agreed.

Before the expedition, Zhang Dahu used his salary to ask someone to make a pair of gold hairpins, which were based on the pattern he drew, and he originally wanted to give it to Miss Gu, but he thought that he would never know his life and death, so why did he give such a gift? , ruined the reputation of Miss Gu's family, and made her miss it, so she got on the horse and left with the golden hairpin, but she didn't send it out.

After Lin Ruhai learned about it, he just smiled, and only hoped that he would return to Beijing safely and give it to Gu Yi.

During these days, Lin Ruhai went to Jia's house again, and heard Jia Lian's advice to Jia Zhu, and couldn't help laughing. Jia Zhu had rested for a long time, and her face was a little bloody. Seeing Lin Ruhai, she felt a little bit ashamed.

When Lin Ruhai came here, he recommended a very famous gentleman to Jia Zheng, and ordered Jia Zhu and Jia Lian to study there.

Compared with Jia Dairu in Jia's family school, the Mr. Zhou recommended by Lin Ruhai is more famous and knowledgeable. He opened a private school in the capital. Because he has a bad temper and it is his own private school, it is difficult for ordinary people to enter. If it wasn't for Lin Ruhai who once defeated him with a game of chess, and had been in the capital for a few years, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian might not have been able to get in.

There is only one thing, after entering Zhou's private school, he has to live in Zhou's house, and he will go home for one day on five days.

Jia Amnesty didn't care about it, but Jia Zheng readily agreed, knowing that his son would surely benefit in his studies and become famous after he left, so he hurriedly sealed the gift of honor in person, took Jia Zhu to visit him, chose a school day, and ordered Jia Zhu and Jia Lian to go to school together. Enter a school.

Lin Ruhai just followed the rules of Zhou's private school. Jia Zhu will go here, and he will no longer be supervised by Jia Zheng and his wife. Zhou's school not only learns the Four Books and Five Classics, but also has the six arts of a gentleman. Zhu will not end up with an early death, for the Jia family, up to now, he has done his best, and the two brothers will be responsible for the future.

On the contrary, Lin Ruhai came to Jia's house twice, and every time he met Jia's mother, he always praised Baoyu a lot.

Lin Ruhai could tell by appearance, and knew Jiamu's temperament well. When she heard her praise Baoyu, she would often mention Daiyu.Presumably Jia's mother also knew that Baoyu and Daiyu were very young and their identities were very different from each other.

Lin Ruhai sneered secretly, not to mention that he looked down on Jia Baoyu, even if Jia Baoyu was unique in the world, he would not agree to his daughter marrying into Jia's family. Could it be that what he saw in his previous life was all illusory?

He never took revenge on the Jia family, not because he forgot his daughter's grievances.

He felt that his daughter had ended up like that, and after a few reflections, it was probably because he hadn't thought carefully and just wanted to make up for his daughter.

Therefore, Lin Ruhai was always noncommittal about Jia Mu's words.

After the army went out, although Emperor Xuankang missed the northern border, he summoned Lin Ruhai when he had time. Emperor Xuankang ordered him to go back to the south, but he just went to Jia's house to say goodbye, and had nothing to say.

Seeing that Lin Ruhai was not tempted, Jia's mother was a little disappointed, and she was shaken immediately, and wrote a letter and put it in Lin Ruhai's gift to Jia Min. She is a caring daughter, and she is always willing to get close to her mother's family, and kiss her, wouldn't it? Very good?

Lin Ruhai smiled lightly, pretending not to see him, and took him back to the south.Jia Min said several times in her previous life that Jia Baoyu was stubborn by nature and didn't like reading, and even Daiyu had a very bad impression of Jia Baoyu.Jia Min also knew that her marriage was not good since she was a child, and she was so careful about Jia Lian's marriage, how could she promise her daughter out early, not to mention that she didn't know the conditions for choosing a son-in-law, no matter how close she was to her natal family, she couldn't get closer to her own. children.

Not long after Lin Ruhai left, Gu Yue entered the palace as an errand, because he was walking in front of Emperor Xuankang, and Emperor Xuankang thought of the old Xiangguo who had dedicated himself to death before, and saw that he was extremely talented, and he had not been greedy for ink for several years as an official. Quite different from his brother, he returned to him the mansion of the Gu family that had been confiscated from his brother.

Gu Xiang was clean and honest all his life, and he never let it out. He always lived in the ancestral house, which was priced at more than a thousand taels.

The house worth more than 1000 taels of silver was nothing in the eyes of Emperor Xuankang and others, but when they saw Emperor Xuankang's behavior, they knew that the Gu family was about to recover again, and changed their minds, because it was important to make friends with the Gu family.

However, after Gu Yue received the imperial edict, he immediately rode to the gate of Gu's house.

Looking at the dilapidated mansion, the rich door with peeling paint, without the plaque hanging on it, even though Gu Yue is unrestrained and open-minded by nature, he still couldn't help but burst into tears.

He grew up here since he was a child, with a strict father and a loving mother. Although he is not as wealthy as the Lin family, he is still top-notch in the capital. Who would have expected that after his father's death, he would be passed on to his eldest brother, and he would become an official because of his crimes within a few years.When he first became an official, everything in the eldest brother's house was sold. He planned to change things and buy it with the money he got. The female relatives were afraid that they would be ridiculed in the capital, so they were sent to live on the farm.

Gu Yue watched quietly for a long time, then turned his head and said to the housekeeper who followed him: "Grace of the sage, return our old house to me, and you can go to the accountant to pay money in a while, so that it can be repaired, and we will move out soon." return."

The butler listened, bowed in response, and said: "The master is so promising, the old man is under the nine springs, and finally he can rest in peace."

He used to be the big housekeeper of the Gu family, loyal and loyal, watching Gu Yue's brothers grow up, he was very much relied on by Gu Xiang, when things failed, he was sold, and Gu Yue entrusted him to buy him back, and still let him be the housekeeper, so for Gu Yue, he was very grateful in his heart, now that the sage returned the ancestral house, he was naturally happy for Gu Yue.

A smile flickered across the corner of Gu Yue's mouth, and when he returned home, he saw Madam Gu reading the post, so he asked what was going on.

Seeing her husband coming back, Mrs. Gu put down the post in her hand, stood up, ordered someone to make tea, and said with a smile, "I think our family is going to get up again after seeing our family. Everyone sent posts to invite us to a banquet and drink."

Gu Yue walked over and looked through a few posts, all of them were very respectable people in the capital today, and said indifferently: "Since ancient times, there have been more icing on the cake and fewer people giving charcoal in the snow. It doesn't matter, as long as you know it in your heart. Anyway, I am five days old." Going to work, taking a day off to take a bath, you don’t have so much free time, so you don’t need to be very close.”

Mrs. Gu nodded, she had exactly that intention.She was originally a lady from a well-known family in the capital, and her natal family was noble. When Xiang Gu was here, many people flattered her. Even though she was the youngest daughter-in-law, her status was still very precious. I have been neglected a lot, and I have experienced the coldness of the world, so I don't know people's hearts.

Gu Yue suddenly found Wang's post, he couldn't help but frowned, and said, "Did Wang Ziteng post a post?"

Mrs. Gu glanced at it, and said: "It was the wife of the Wang family who posted a post asking me to enjoy the flowers and drink, saying that the flowers in their family are blooming well. I think the Wang family is high and powerful now. But in the end, I have to be more cautious, it is not good to be too arrogant, so I have replied to the post."

Gu Yue dropped the post and said with a sneer, "If you don't have anything to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall. Please come over. I don't know what you're planning." Gu Yue also understands what the Wang family and Mrs. Wang did. Not to mention that he has a good relationship with Lin Ruhai, so how can he not know that Lin Ruhai was almost plotted against him, so he naturally disdains the Wang family.

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she couldn't help but wondered: "Our family is on the verge of recovery, and we don't have a lot of money. What is there for them to make up their minds? But what the master said makes sense. Their family is a first-rank family, and our family is a fourth-rank one. Don't."

Gu Yue thought for a moment, and said: "Go and see, no matter what, just don't agree."

Mrs. Gu pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "How can I not know what their family is like? Master, don't worry, our family is much worse than theirs anyway. Whatever they want to do, they can't ask our family."

The next day, Mrs. Gu dressed up and took her daughter Gu Yi to the Wang family for a banquet.

Since Mrs. Wang Ziteng took a fancy to Gu Xun, she naturally wouldn't speak out. While inviting Mrs. Gu, she also invited many good officials to order their family members, and quietly expressed her thoughts to the most intimate Princess Nan'an.

Princess Nan'an clapped her hands and said with a smile: "It's a good relationship, it's hard for you to fall in love with me."

Mrs. Wang Ziteng has been inquiring about it for a long time, and they all said that Gu Xun has not yet engaged, and seeing that Emperor Xuankang valued the Gu family so much, she became more and more satisfied, so she said: "We marry a daughter, and when someone comes to ask for her, we can't say betrothed." Therefore, I would like to ask the princess to inquire carefully and find out one or two parties for us. If this relationship is fixed, I will ask Brother Feng to kowtow to the princess tomorrow."

Princess Nan'an said: "Don't worry, just leave it to me."

When Mrs. Gu arrived, Princess Nan'an looked at Gu Yi and couldn't help admiring her repeatedly. She was about the same age as Sister Feng, and seemed younger, but she spoke and behaved more gracefully than Sister Feng.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng wanted to marry the Gu family, so she also pulled Gu Yi to praise her.

Before the Gu family was defeated, and after the bad things happened, they all met Gu Yi, and they were not too surprised. It's just that Gu Yi was still young a few years ago, and now he is well-rounded, so they are inevitably a little surprised. Mrs. Gu is worthy of being a famous lady. The family has experienced ups and downs, but still brought up such a good girl, even if someone asks her age.

How smart Mrs. Gu is, when people asked about Gu Yi's age, they understood it, but the children in their family also heard about it, most of them relied on their ancestors, how could anyone compare to Zhang Dahu who came from a poor family?Then he smiled lightly and said: "The little girl is still young, so I can't deserve such praise from you. Our master loves her and wants to wait a few years before we talk about it." Although Zhang Dahu was not engaged, but both of them had made an agreement, she naturally I will not promise my daughter out before then.

Princess Nan'an smiled and said, "Oh, how can we wait for a few more years? Don't be so good that someone else will pick them up."

Long before they spoke, Mrs. Wang Xifeng ordered Wang Xifeng to invite the young girl among the guests to eat fruit in the side hall, so Princess Nan'an did not shy away from speaking.

Mrs. Gu thought to herself that they had already picked a rich man, and they just waited for Zhang Dahu to return triumphantly, and then come to propose marriage. Although she was a bit older, she had inquired about it for a few days. : "My little girl, Pu Liuzhi, comes from a humble background. Only others choose us. How can we choose others? We have to look at fate."

After hearing her words, everyone had nothing to say.

Princess Nan'an remembered Wang Ziteng's entrustment, and said: "You are not in a hurry to marry your daughter, you should choose a marriage for the son of the family? The two sons of your family are young and promising, who doesn't praise? Have you ever been engaged? ? If not, I'll be a matchmaker for you, and Baozhun will tell you a very good marriage."

Mrs. Gu was taken aback, how did she mention her son?There is no girl of the same age as Gu Xun in the family of the official's family members I saw today.With a flash of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the look of expectation in Mrs. Wang Ziteng's eyes, and immediately remembered that Wang Ziteng's eldest daughter, Jiuyue, is about to turn 14 years old. Is it the age of marriage? Why do you enjoy the flowers and drink by yourself?

When Mrs. Gu was in the capital, she also met Sister Feng. She knew that Sister Feng's character was manipulative. Everyone said she was a hero, how to kill and make decisions. There are thousands of obscenities in cursing servants, which are unbearable to the ears. She also knows the way of the Wang family and the things that Wang Ziteng and Mrs. Wang have done. , she is unwilling to make this marriage.

Mrs. Gu didn't know if she had guessed the truth, she would rather take precautions in advance, and not let Princess Nan'an bring up the matter, lest it would make everyone look bad if she refused, so she smiled and said: "I'm afraid I don't need the princess to bother for the dog."

After hearing this, Princess Nan'an and Mrs. Wang Ziteng were stunned. Could it be that Gu Xun is already engaged?

Princess Nan'an remembered that Mrs. Wang Ziteng said that Gu Xun was not engaged, so she said, "What? Is the son of the family already engaged? Or can't you trust my vision?"

Mrs. Gu hurriedly stood up, smiling all over her face, and said: "The concubine's eyesight is very good, but our master has a bad temper, and he has to make decisions about the marriage of children, so there is no room for me to speak. Our master said yesterday, he We have already selected one family, and both families are interested in it, and we are thinking of waiting for the old house to be repaired, move in, and then send someone to propose marriage. Therefore, we have failed the good intention of the princess."

Princess Nan'an had some disbelief on her face, and said: "I don't believe it, why did I say that as a matchmaker, you will have a family?"

Mrs. Gu saw that Mrs. Wang Ziteng seemed a little disappointed, and knew that her guess was eight or nine. She couldn't help but be more cautious, and said with a smile: "It's such a coincidence. The princess also knows that the dog is this year, so there is no delay. So before we entered Beijing, we planned to talk to him about a marriage in the capital, so as soon as we entered Beijing, our master had plans."

What she said left Princess Nan'an speechless, and she glanced at Mrs. Wang Ziteng.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng was picky and picky, because she wanted to choose a marriage for her daughter that was both prominent and would not cause her daughter to be wronged. It was so easy for her to see that Gu Xun had both family background, good looks and talent, and was only slightly better than Jia Lian. Poor, how can I expect that he has already taken a fancy to him, so I can't help but sigh secretly.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng suddenly came back to her senses, she only said that she liked her, she didn't mention her engagement, that is to say, their family can still marry them, she hurriedly said with a smile: "Listen to what Mrs. Gu said, are you still engaged?"

Mrs. Gu's heart skipped a beat, and as expected she heard Princess Nan'an say: "If you haven't been engaged, you can't do anything."

Mrs. Gu had no choice but to say: "Although it has not been decided yet, both families are interested. Our master has managed to revitalize the lintel, so how can we not keep his word? Therefore, there are eight or nine points of meaning, and we can't go back on our word." .”

After hearing this, Princess Nan'an felt more and more that Mrs. Gu was resigning, a trace of displeasure appeared on her face, and she said, "Could it be that she is better than the girl I like? I have to ask which one it is."

Madam Gu's face turned purple immediately, she was anxious and didn't know what to do.She is also a person who has experienced the world. Originally, she thought that she said that she had already taken a fancy to him. They should not continue to ask. They never thought about it, but wanted to get to the bottom of it.Although there are many good people in the capital, they didn't mention this matter. If I use them as targets at this time, wouldn't I offend Princess Nan'an and others, as well as their family?

When Mrs. Gu was at her wit's end, she suddenly heard someone laughing and saying: "The little girl Yingdou Zhiwei, how can she compare to the young lady that the princess wants to be the guarantor? Mrs. Gu is afraid of ruining the little girl's reputation, so she refuses to say it out loud. princess."

Do you know who this person is?Everyone looked, but it was Shen Xue's wife and the wife of cousin Lin Ruhai.

Because of Lin Ruhai, the Gu and Chen families are very friendly, not to mention that the Shen family used to have a Xiangguo, and the Gu family also had one. They were both from a scholarly family, and they had contacts with each other, but with Lin Ruhai, the friendship is even better than before.

Although Shandong is not very close to the capital city, it is not far away. It is also Shen Yuan's birthday, and this year Shen Xue will go to Beijing to report on her duties. Mrs. Shen brought her children to Beijing early, and her son also participated in this year's Spring Festival. After her son Shen Xue reported her work, she still returned to Shandong, but Mrs. Shen did not go back with her son because her son took part in the palace examination.

The Shen and Wang families had no friendship, and because of Lin Ruhai, Shen Yuan had already been promoted to a first-rank bachelor this spring. Wang Ziteng wanted to win them over, so Mrs. Wang Ziteng invited Mrs. Shen over for a treat today.

Mrs. Shen does have a daughter under her knees. She is 15 years old this year.

Hearing that Mrs. Shen rescued her, Mrs. Gu felt grateful and terrified at the same time. Shen Xue was already a feudal official and ranked second rank. How could their son be worthy of the daughter of the Shen family.

Princess Nan'an asked suspiciously: "The Gu family is negotiating marriage with your family?"

Mrs. Shen smiled slightly, put down the tea bowl she had just taken a sip from, and said, "That's right. Mr. Gu and Brother Lin from our family are very good friends. If Brother Lin hadn't returned to the south early, and because of the sage, he had given back the old house of the Gu family. , Our two families have already engaged in marriage, how can we let the princess personally make a promise to Brother Xun in Baoshan? We know that Brother Xun is very good, so we hurriedly made an agreement with each other, fearing that others will know Hero, grab the golden tortoise son-in-law that our old man likes!"

When Mrs. Shen spoke, Mrs. Gu kept her mouth shut. Marriage to the Shen family was naturally what she wished for, but she also had self-knowledge that Mrs. Shen was like this today, but she couldn't beat a snake with a stick, so she had to wait until later.

But Mrs. Wang Ziteng was really disappointed.

Sister Feng was ashamed and angry. After seeing off the guests, she was too strong-willed and refused to let her husband. At this moment, she couldn't help shedding tears at the window. She took a fancy to Jia Lian. Now it's very easy to pick the son of Gu's eldest son. Hearing that he is both talented and beautiful, Sister Feng is very satisfied, she never expected that there is still a family.

Sister Feng couldn't help crying to her mother: "Mom should at least find out next time."

Mrs. Wang Ziteng hugged her daughter, burst into tears, and said: "My poor son, why is it so unfortunate? You have been greatly wronged. Don't worry, if this family is gone, there will be other families. "

Regardless of their mother and daughter, Madam Gu returned home and hurriedly explained the reason to Gu Yue.

Gu Yue also didn't expect the Wang family to take a fancy to Gu Xun, he frowned and said: "It's a bit natural to take it for granted, people like them, they often hear Ru Hai say that they are not very good, and they have never been close, so why did they fall in love with Xun?" Brother? Fortunately, Mrs. Shen saved the siege, otherwise, wouldn’t we have offended the Nan’an Palace and the Wang family? Please quickly post the post and go to Shen’s house to pay a visit. It's not bad, after all, it's not as good as the Shen family, so we can't ruin Miss Shen's reputation because of it."

Mrs. Gu had this intention, she hurriedly prepared according to her instructions, and prepared generous gifts, and went to visit Shen's house the next day.

Mrs. Shen had expected that she would come, so she greeted her in person. Old Mrs. Shen has passed away, and now Mrs. Shen is in charge of the house. Even when she is away, the eldest son and his wife will stay in the capital to honor their grandfather and be taken care of by the eldest daughter-in-law. .
