The Ring of Red Mansions is far from the heart

When Jia Huan returned to the Lin Mansion, he asked Wen Lan, who came to serve him, to bring a box to Daiyu.

"Girl, this is something my aunt asked Lord Hou to bring, and Lord Hou asked his servants to bring it to the girl." Wen Lan said with a smile as she handed the item to Asparagus.

Daiyu blushed, and directly covered her face with a handkerchief, "You guys are so bad, you'll make fun of me."

Asparagus opened the box, and it turned out to be a pair of suet white jade bracelets of excellent quality.The crystal clear appearance is very attractive to girls.Although Daiyu was shy, she was still very curious about her future lover.I also want to see what Shen Yu gave her.When I saw a pair of such beautiful bracelets, I immediately fell in love with them.Take the bracelet from Wen Zhu's hand and put it on.Against her fair skin, she looks so pretty.

Wen Lan went on to say: "Our Lord Hou asked the servants to tell the girl that this jade bracelet is the mother of Shen Gongye, and the dowry at the bottom of the box when Princess Taiping got married back then was intended for her daughter-in-law. Now the princess saw Seeing that the son's marriage is engaged, he took out the pair of bracelets and asked the son to send it to the girl."

Daiyu's face was still red, and she was silent for a long time before she said to Wenlan: "You invite Huan'er here. I have something to ask him."

Wen Lan knew that this was something she wanted to ask Uncle Shen, so she hurried to find someone outside the second gate to pass on the message.

Not long after, Jia Huan entered the flower hall of Daiyu's courtyard.Both of them are old, and Daiyu is already engaged, so they cannot meet directly. There is a huge screen in the flower hall, and Daiyu is sitting behind the screen, planning to question Jia Huan carefully.

"Hello, Sister Lin. Huan'er is being polite here." Jia Huan saluted Daiyu in a dignified way.

"Pfft." A sweet voice like an oriole came from behind the screen, "Huan'er, you are welcome, we don't need so much courtesy between siblings."

"It's not surprising that there are so many people." Jia Huan replied while standing up straight.

"It's just that you have a lot of ideas." Daiyu said angrily, paused, and then said, "Huan'er should have guessed what sister asked you to come over, right?"

"I guessed a little bit, do you want to ask about my future brother-in-law?" Jia Huan grinned.

"You're still talking nonsense when you know it! Hurry up and say it!"

Enough laughing, Jia Huan just said in a serious manner: "Sister, don't worry, my future brother-in-law is calm and capable. Although he became the eldest son of the Jingtian Hou Mansion, he recommended himself to the Gyeonggi camp to accumulate military merits. , has always been a useful person today. The most important thing is that this brother-in-law is not bothered, and there is no such thing as a housekeeper."

Daiyu's face was almost blushing, and she scolded lightly, "Who asked you this?"

Jia Huan disagreed: "This is very important, isn't it? With my sister's character, she deserves the best. This was selected by Master Lin thousands of times, and it can't be bad. And he also agreed with his younger brother's proposal of 'forty no. Zifang can take a concubine' request. Sister, don't worry. This is not like the second master Bao, who is a woman and hugs her in his room."

After hearing Jia Huan's words, Daiyu was satisfied in her heart, no woman would share her husband with others, no matter how pregnant she was, she would hiccup. "Just now Wenlan took a gift he gave me. I have to return a gift here. I can't bring out a good thing. I just embroidered a purse. You can give it to him for me. For me Say: Don't worry!" Saying that, Wen Zhu came out with a delicately crafted purse.

Jia Huan agreed, he didn't really want these two to meet until the wedding night, it's not good to marry blindly or not.

At this point, Jia Huan started his life as a small messenger. Dai Yu and Shen Yu also met a few times under the arrangement of everyone intentionally or unintentionally when they were out for a banquet, and both were very satisfied.

The marriage between Shen and Lin's two families is currently referred to as marriage, so all matters are arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.In this way, Nacai, Wenming, and Najib in the six rituals are directly omitted.

On the day of the engagement, Shen Yu rode a tall horse in high spirits, with a red face and a happy spring breeze.Words can't express how he feels at this moment.

On this day, apart from the jaw-dropping dowry gift prepared by the Jingtian Hou Mansion, there were two live geese.Wild geese are migratory birds and have always been used by the ancients to symbolize trustworthiness and loyalty.Therefore, on the day of engagement, it is a shame for the woman to use two live wild geese as the bride price.

Situ Yuan and Shen Yu spent three days catching these two wild geese that day, while Jia Huan laughed from ear to ear seeing the two dumb geese being tied up dizzy.

Seeing him like that, Situ Yuan leaned forward and whispered, "Don't be envious of Huan'er, when we get engaged in the future, I'll catch two wild geese myself too!"

He gave him a blank look, and the man didn't know what to say, "Stop daydreaming! It's time to wake up."

Situ Yuan called Jia Huan's head, which meant to let him wait and give him an unforgettable wedding.

After going through the etiquette of engagement, the Shen and Lin families formally made an agreement between the two surnames.

In a blink of an eye, the family-speaking villa was completed. Although it was supported by Mrs. Wang's private house, after all, without the antiques of the Lin family, Mrs. Wang tried her best, but she couldn't build the magnificent Grand View Garden in the original book.After all, it is smaller, and some unimportant yards and gardens have been cancelled, but it is not bad.Those main buildings are still preserved, such as Xiao, Xiang, Guan, Yihong Courtyard, Hengwu Courtyard, Daoxiang Village and so on.

When everything is ready, the time has come to the twelfth lunar month.Now that Jia Yuanchun's memorial to return home on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the coming year has been granted, everyone in Rongguo Mansion Second Household and Ningguo Mansion are all on the move.

Jia Amnesty's first room remained silent, and only agreed to attend the official family visit in the coming year. With Jia Lian's strong and stubborn attitude, he would not agree to anything else.

Jia Zheng is just a fifth-rank member of the Ministry of Industry, and Mrs. Wang is a person who does not go out of the door. She has no idea that Jia Lian has become an upstart in the capital.How many powerful families want to make friends with this second master Lian.

Now the bluestone roads in the capital have basically been replaced with cement roads, making it easier for people to travel.The current plan is to gradually radiate around the capital.Pave the cement roads all over the official roads.Because Jia Huan said at the beginning that he didn't know the performance of the cement road, and the matter of river regulation should be released first. Today, he decided to wait for the dry season in the coming year before sending people to build the dam. , it's time to kill some Jingjing monkeys.

With such obvious support from the imperial court, the cement workshop became famous all at once.As for Jia Lian, the chief manager, don't show your face too much.

Wang Xifeng was still locked in the courtyard, and the quadrangular courtyard where Jia Lian lived was Wang Xifeng's activity range.It's just that for her, such a little freedom is really aggrieved.

When it was confirmed that Jia Lian was determined to ground her this time, Wang Xifeng wrote to her father, Wang Ziteng, and Wang Ziteng sent someone to reprimand Jia Lian twice.It wasn't until later that he found out that Jia Lian was no longer in charge of the second room of Jia's family in the past, and he didn't know why he caught the eye of today, so he turned his head and persuaded Wang Xifeng to take care of her and live a good life with Jia Lian.

When Wang Xifeng received such a letter, she was completely desperate.At this point, she realized that no matter how awesome her natal family is, her husband has always been a woman's god!Gradually, Wang Xifeng fell silent.I don't know if it's the calm before the storm.

No one in the first room could come forward to help the second room, Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng were busy running around.

On this day, in Jia Mu's upper room, everyone was busy, Mrs. Wang stepped forward and said cautiously: "Old lady, it is a big event for your mother to visit relatives. The daughter-in-law thinks that Miss Lin and Huan'er are both sisters and brothers of your mother." Yes, is it right for someone to bring them to the mansion, so that they can enjoy the joy of the empress together?"

Jia Mu was silent for a long time, then waved her hand: "You can ask someone to invite you, and you don't have to force it."

Jia Zheng looked relieved, "Brother Huan is my mother's brother after all, and my niece is already engaged. There is nothing I can do if I don't come. It's unreasonable if Huan'er doesn't come. He is now a marquis. If he has a good relationship with my mother, Maybe it can be mentioned above."

Mother Jia looked at Jia Zheng quietly, and sighed in her heart: "When you go to Zhongyonghou's mansion, be more respectful, now it's not Huan'er who has to rely on the empress to lift her up, but the empress has to rely on her brother to show her face in front of the saint! "

Jia Zheng didn't seem to understand the meaning of Jia's mother's words, and he was still stroking the little goatee with a proud face.

Mrs. Wang immediately sent her confidant Zhou Rui's family to invite people to Lin's mansion, and sent Jia Mu's confidant Lai everyone to Zhongyonghou's mansion.

Everyone Lai really has a psychological shadow on Jia Huan. The previous few times when he went to Zhongyonghou's mansion to spread word and handle affairs, he was often squeezed out by people from all over the mansion.What made her even more troubled was that there was almost no third master Huan who came forward in person!Every time they haven't seen Third Master Huan, someone will directly deal with them...

This errand must be another job!My heart is stuck.

However, she is a servant, and the master gave orders, so she had no choice but to pack up and go to Zhongyonghou's mansion.

Fortunately, everyone Lai also met Prince Zhongrui who was always trying to cling to Jia Huan.It's just that for Lai everyone, I don't know if it is lucky or not.

"You said... next year's Lantern Festival, you want to invite Huan'er to meet Concubine Xiande?" Situ Yuan scratched his ears, thinking he had heard wrong.

"If you go back to the prince, that's right. How honorable it is for a virtuous concubine to return to the province. Our second wife thought, how can Lord Hou say that they are all the brothers of the empress, right? Such a big happy event should be shared together." Lai Everyone's head was shaking profusely with sweat.

"The old lady Jia is still thinking about asking Huan'er to go to the mansion to learn the etiquette in the palace?" Situ Yuan asked again amusedly, while Jia Huan sat quietly and listened. There are professionals in this kind of thing. Help him get ahead, so you don't have to worry about it.

"Uh... yes." Everyone Lai didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe his sweat, and just let the stinky sweat flow.

Situ Yuan glanced at Jia Huan, what did he mean: Is this Jia's family going to produce another son?Why did I come to invite you suddenly?

Jia Huan smiled, what else is there?Situ Yuan is much clearer than him.Didn't he see that he is not only rich now, but also has a title, so he wants to help Concubine Xiande say more good things in front of Jinshang.

Situ Yuan became impatient, waved his hands, as if chasing away some flies, and said to everyone Lai: "Go back and talk to the old lady Jia, and say that the emperor will pay a private visit on Lantern Festival in the coming year to celebrate with the people. Wang and Zhongyonghou are both on the list of escorts. Whether it is important to accompany the king or meet the concubine Xiande is more important, this king believes that the old lady Jia knows it well."

Everyone Lai couldn't hold on any longer and kept kowtowing, "The slave girl will go back and tell the old lady that she doesn't dare to let the saint bother about such a trivial matter. The servant girl will leave now."

Situ Yuan nodded in satisfaction: "Go."

Lai everyone respectfully gave big gifts to Situ Yuan and Jia Huan respectively, and then retreated cautiously.

Situ Yuan sneered: "What did you do so long ago that you only thought of Huan'er now?"

"Why are you angry with them? It's just a few old women who can't figure it out. There are so many things in this world that require you to 'worry', why do you care about them?"

"Isn't this a grievance for Huan'er?" Situ Yuan grinned and rubbed against Jia Huan.

"Okay, the urine of Yijia's family will definitely go to the Lin family to invite sister Lin, let's go and have a look."
