The Ring of Red Mansions is far from the heart

Ever since Lin Hai brought her daughter back to Beijing to work, Daiyu has been ten years old. According to the rules of the current big family, she has to see her for the girl when she is ten years old, and get engaged after one or two years.

With the status of the Lin family, and Lin Hai's current status, many families with legitimate sons of the right age have begun to send people to the Lin family to ask questions.And Lin Hai was also struggling, unwilling to pick someone for Daiyu.

In order to prevent Daiyu from having the status of "the eldest daughter who lost her mother" in "Five No Marriages" in the future, she thought about finding a god-in-law for Daiyu.The candidates were Lin Hai's good friends from that day, Ye Jun and Ye Jingzhi, champions of the same subject as him.

The Ye family is the mother's family of the current empress, and Ye Jun is the uncle of the empress's mother's family. Ye Jun's name has spread far and wide since he was young.After winning the No. [-] Scholar, he spent several years in the officialdom. Because of his integrity, he really couldn't understand the unspoken rules of the officialdom, so he hung up the crown and asked to leave.

Finally, with the support of the family, he opened Xiangshan Academy and became a teacher.

His wife is also the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, who was born in a scholarly family, so her upbringing is appropriate.Therefore, Daiyu recognized Ye Jun as her god-in-law, and in everyone's eyes, that was quite correct.

Since both parties are interested, it is best to settle the matter quickly.

I picked an auspicious day and invited some relatives and friends.Jia Huan and Jia Amnesty, Daiyu's uncle, also came to watch the ceremony.Other than that, there is no one else.

The recognition ceremony went smoothly, and it was already noon when it was over.Everyone was about to sit at the table and carry out the last process of acknowledging relatives when several well-dressed female officials came from the palace.

Of course, the men headed by Lin Hai couldn't meet these female officials. Fortunately, there was a small yellow door accompanying them.

As soon as Xiao Huangmen entered Lin's mansion, he told Lin Hai about his mission this time: "The Empress heard that Master Ye Shan recognized Master Lin's eldest daughter, Lin Shi Daiyu, as her goddaughter. Come here with your concubine's reward."

This is a good thing. Even though Ye Jun's family was chosen as Daiyu's god-in-law that day, it was only because of the deep friendship between Lin Hai and Ye Jun. At that time, it didn't occur to him that Ye Jun was also the uncle of the current queen.Now that the queen herself sent someone to send the reward, it can be seen that she supports the recognition of the two families.

At this time, in the backyard, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Xing and others were also receiving the female officials sent by the empress.

The leading female official said eloquently: "The empress is happy for Ye Shan, so she specially ordered the servant to bring the reward in person." This female official was brought into the palace by the empress from her natal family. Right-hand man, this one can be sent out by the empress, it can be seen that the empress is really happy for today's affairs.

The female official opened the queen's reward, and saw that the rewards were: a set of ruby ​​head masks, a set of sad emerald head masks, a set of pearl head masks, some gold, a piece of palace satin, and a piece of Shu brocade.

After Daiyu performed the big gift, she took the reward respectfully, and turned around to let Yuzhu, the big maid beside her, put it away.

The female officer stepped forward to help Daiyu up, and looked her up and down carefully. "Oh, my maidservant has opened his eyes today. There are such beautiful people in this world." After finishing speaking, he helped Daiyu to come to Mrs. Zhang. Congratulations."

Mrs. Zhang took Daiyu's hand affectionately, stroked Daiyu's head, and said with a smile: "At first, I was very envious of my sister-in-law for having a caring daughter, but I hate that my family is full of boys who are not caring at all. It's so easy to have a daughter now." I was so happy that such a beautiful girl recognized me as a godmother. You, go back and thank your master for me. If I have time some other day, I will definitely take Yu'er into the palace to have an imperial meal with her. Go." Everyone around laughed.

"That's a good relationship. Last time, our lady was talking about the third wife who hadn't entered the palace for many days. If you always have time, don't forget. Also, these girls present are all very good. , if you always go to the palace, it would be good to bring a few more girls to accompany the empress."

"It's better to be respectful than to obey. Haha."

Surprisingly, these female palaces and Xiaohuangmen who came out of the palace sat upright and took a lunch with the Lin family...

That day, when Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing returned to the mansion, they were just in time for Jiamu to invite them.These two recuperated in Zhuangzi for more than three months, and they couldn't think of leaving.If Jia Huan hadn't sent someone to look for them, the two of them wouldn't know how long they would live there.

Mother Jia is still holding her breath over Wang Xifeng's grounding, now that Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing are back, why don't they call someone to lecture them?

Seeing Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing's complexion ruddy, and even a hundred times more energetic than before, she became angry and slapped the armrest of the bed fiercely, cursing: "You still know how to come back! You can't see it in your eyes!" And me, the mother-in-law!"

Jia Amnesty sat very leisurely in the first seat below Jia Mu, but Mrs. Xing was a little flustered for a while, after all, Jia Mu's accumulated power over the years was not just for fun.But soon calmed down again, walked to Jia She's lower head and sat down.

Jia's mother was panting with anger, and Jia Zheng blamed him strangely: "Brother, what are you doing? This filial piety is greater than the sky. Big brother is so disrespectful to his mother. It's not good to spread the word."

Jia She sneered: "Who in this capital city doesn't know that the elder of the Jia family is a stingy one? Since he is a stingy one, it's normal to be an unfilial son, isn't it?"

One sentence blocked Jia Zheng and others.Before Jia's mother could speak, Jia Amnesty continued: "Mother, don't you want to know where my son came from today?"

"Where else can I come from?! Zuo just came back from Zhuangzi, how could he go to heaven!" Mother Jia really couldn't like this eldest son.

Jia Amnesty was a little proud: "Today, Huan'er specially sent someone to Zhuangzi to deliver a letter, saying that my niece wants to recognize Ye Jingzhi, the head of Xiangshan Academy, as a relative today, and specially invited me, the eldest uncle, to come back to watch the ceremony!"

"Patta" Jiamu couldn't hold the teacup in her hand anymore, and fell directly to the ground.The outstretched fingers tremblingly pointed at Jia Amnesty, with an expression of disbelief: "You, what are you talking about? Yu'er admits to being a relative, and Lin Hai didn't tell me about such a big deal! What's the reason?!"

In this era, acknowledging a relationship is not just a verbal agreement like in later generations.At this time, the godparents will have to perform the etiquette of filial sons and daughters in the future for their retirement!As for Daiyu's confession at this time, anyone with a discerning eye can know that this is the preparation made in advance for Daiyu's future kiss!

And such a big matter, the Lin family didn't come to discuss it with her!Anyway, Mother Jia is also Lin Daiyu's grandmother!

Jia She sneered: "What's the reason? I think the old lady knows it well. Also, Ye Jingzhi is the uncle of the current empress, and the Ye family is also a scholarly family. Today, the empress specially sent her subordinates The third-rank female official came to declare Yizhi in person, and she also rewarded a lot of good things!"

What else did Mother Jia want to say, but Jia Amnesty couldn't vent her anger after making such a phone call, so she kept rubbing her chest with her hands.

"If the old lady has nothing else to do, my son will go back now. I haven't returned home for many days. I'm afraid I have a lot of things to do." After finishing speaking, he took Mrs. Xing and swaggered away.

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were also dumbfounded when they heard the news.Especially Mrs. Wang, in her eyes, Jia Min's daughter, Lin Daiyu, came from a poor family background, how could she compare to their family status in the Rongguo Mansion, the Duke's Mansion?Didn't you see that you came to play the autumn wind that day?

When Jia's mother wanted Eryu to marry, Mrs. Wang was extremely opposed to it. In her heart, only Xue Baochai was Baoyu's good match.

What's going on with these people, that crooked Lin Daiyu actually climbed into the Queen's natal family, this is simply unbearable!

"Old lady, this matter..."

Mother Jia finally calmed down, and sighed: "Alas..." waved Jia Zheng and his wife to retreat.When Jia Mu saw that everyone had gone down, only Yuanyang stayed to serve her.Leaning weakly on the couch, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

I don't know how long it took before Jia's mother opened her mouth, which seemed to be a question, and also seemed to be talking to herself: "Zheng'er's family is such a shallow-sighted guy! When I asked Eryu to get married, she insisted on not agreeing. Come out with a 'golden jade match'! He also ordered his servants to slander the eldest daughter of the current second-rank official. How is it now? Now you know how well connected the Lin family is! The uncle of the queen's natal family has become Dai'er's god-in-law , Such a network, is the royal merchant Xue's family able to get it!? If it is used well, in the future, Baoyu only needs to worship under Lin Hai or Ye Jun to study under one of the two, and how beneficial it will be! In that way, you can get married with the middle palace, and it will be a great help to the empress in the palace! But that Wang family! Life and death ruined all of this!" He closed his eyes, "Oh... that day, why did I give it to you? Did Zheng'er find such a prodigal woman?!"

Yuanyang closed her eyes and seemed to be asleep.She has served Jia Mu for many years and has become an indispensable first-class proud person around Jia Mu. Guessing Jia Mu's mind is the first thing to grasp.

At this time, Jia's mother just needs to express the depression in her heart, and she doesn't need anyone to give her advice.

"Well, in this way, there is no hope for Baoyu and Daiyu's marriage..." Jia's mother was still thinking about Shuangyu's marriage, but unfortunately, just as she thought, the Lin family was no longer Jia Baoyu. This is worthy of being the second son of a fifth-rank member.

For a while, Rongqing Hall was silent. After a long time, footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard gate, and the brisk voice of a young gentleman could be heard from time to time.

When the little girl who opened the curtain saw the young master, she said briskly, "Second Master Bao is here."
