The Lin family of the Red Chamber has a son

After returning to Rongguo Mansion, Mother Jia couldn't wait to rest, and hurriedly sent the Yingchun sisters and Baoyu and others who came to pay their respects, and hurriedly ordered people to invite Jia to pardon the two brothers Jia Zheng.

The two brothers entered the room, and saw the different expressions of several women.Needless to say, Mrs. Xing, she likes her twice and is very proud of her.Mrs. Wang had a blank face, she couldn't see anything, the beads in her hand were indeed spinning much faster than usual.Only Jia Mu, still holding the old Feng Jun's money, sat there and drank tea.

Seeing them coming in, Mother Jia slowly put down the teacup.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng looked at each other, not quite understanding what was going on.Could it be that he got angry from outside?

Without thinking too much, they all went over and saluted and sat down.

Mother Jia pondered for a moment before she said what Princess Dong'an meant. When she looked up, she saw the unconcealable smile on Mrs. Xing's face, and she felt displeased—she really came from a small family, and she had no scheming at all.No wonder I have been oppressed by the second child's family for many years and can't turn over.

It's all right for Jia Zheng to hear it, but Jia Amnesty is overjoyed.As a daughter of his, she had limited conversations throughout the year, and probably had nothing else to say except greetings.In addition, Yingchun has a concubine temperament and is not lovable, so Jia She really didn't take her seriously.Although I took it back for a while, following Yuanchun's oral order, I moved into the Grand View Garden again.Jia Amnesty completely let go of it—is there an old lady anyway?

He never imagined that this daughter could make him and Wangfu become relatives.Immediately, she patted the chair under her with joy, and said with a smile: "This is really a great thing! I never thought that the second girl would be so lucky to marry into the palace. Old lady, this is also a good thing you taught me."

Jia Zheng hurriedly congratulated the elder brother and sister-in-law. Mrs. Wang pinched the handkerchief, not knowing what to do, but she said flatly, "The second young lady is very lucky."

"What my brother and sister said is true. It's good for me to look at the third girl. Maybe I will be even more blessed in the future."

Greater luck?

Mrs. Wang sneered in her heart. Could it be possible that a concubine girl still wants to be a concubine?She has that fate, and she has to ask herself if this aunt will agree!

He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and then said with a faint smile: "If the third girl is really so lucky, I, as a wife, can rest assured. Speaking of which, sister-in-law At this time, it is time to start preparations, and the dowry should be carefully watched. A few days ago, her cousin from the Lin family married to the Hou's Mansion, and it was like that. Now that the second girl is married to the Wang's Mansion, even if she can't Compared with Lin Yatou, you must not let Er Yatou go to make people look down upon you."

Mrs. Xing was immediately blocked.

She has the most stingy temperament.What kind of pomp did Daiyu have when she left the pavilion?Ten miles of red makeup is nothing more than that.Not to mention standing shoulder to shoulder with Daiyu, even if she only buys half of the dowry, Mrs. Xing can't afford it.What's more, she wouldn't want to take it out, would she?

"Everything is decided by the old lady!" Mrs. Xing held back for a long time before choking out this sentence.

Mrs. Wang smiled more, "Look at what my sister-in-law said, the old lady is old, how can I make her worry about the family affairs? According to me, my sister-in-law is tired."

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang both shut their mouths immediately and looked up at Jia Mu who was sitting in the first place.

She watched coldly the two daughters-in-law teasing each other with every word, and she would not get angry as usual.The quarrel at this time made her a little irritable.Of the two daughters-in-law, one is petty and stingy, she doesn't want to pluck out her roots, but she is born and wants her daughter to marry into the palace.The other one, it is obvious that I feel uneasy.If this marriage had fallen on the third girl, she probably wouldn't be so careless when speaking.

"It's done. In front of my old lady, don't say a few words to me. It's my boss."

Mrs. Xing hurriedly lowered her hands and said, "Old lady!"

"The concubine of the mansion said that in the next few days, someone will be invited to propose marriage. You should prepare Er Yatou's Geng Tie."

"Yes, old lady." Mrs. Xing agreed respectfully.This matter is not difficult, as long as the girls fall into the grass, their birthday horoscopes will be written, and their mothers will keep them.Although Mrs. Xing is the stepmother, the Geng Tie of Yingchun is also in her hands, just go back and look for it.

Then I heard Jia Mu continue to say: "I have prepared for the marriages of the two girls. The silver is 5000 taels. Your parents will take it. If you need to buy it, hurry up and buy it. The order will be soon. The return gift on the small order, Mrs., you go and tell the girl Ying to catch up."

5000 taels of silver?

Mrs. Xing almost fell backward in anger.If you marry a girl, 5000 taels of silver will be spent?The old lady is also biased!The girl in the second bedroom went back to her mother's house and spent several 10 taels of silver, and the old lady gave 8 taels out of her mouth.My girl dare not compare with the big girls, and she can't be partial to this!

Jia Amnesty was obviously not very satisfied. He was stroking his beard and was about to speak, but Jia's mother said first: "You parents, don't ignore everything. If you don't care about your daughter at this time, when will you care about Gu? That's fine, let's go first." Forget it. I'm tired too. I'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

Jia Amnesty and his wife had no choice but to resign with Jia Zheng and his wife.

For a while, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion knew that the second girl had climbed up to the palace and went to Yingchun to congratulate her.

Yingchunwan didn't expect that she could fall into the eyes of Princess Dong'an.She didn't dare to think about it in daily life, but when she first heard it, she couldn't believe it.It was Jia Mu who sent the mandarin ducks to call her to her, and told her about it in detail, and Mrs. Xing came into the garden and told her to pack up her things and go back to the big house to live in preparation for marriage. Can't help but not believe it.

Things were done neatly in the Dong'an Prince's Mansion, and it was only the fifth day, so a matchmaker was invited to come over to propose marriage—but it was none other than Shi Nai's wife, Xu Shi.

After changing the Geng Tie and combining the horoscope, the marriage is considered settled.The small ceremony was simply passed, and the Dong'an Prince's Mansion was in a hurry to get married, after discussing, they got married in the first month of the next year.

Others are fine, but Mrs. Xing complains endlessly.Generally, a wealthy family with a daughter has to prepare the dowry for her daughter since she was a child.Not for anything else, firstly because things are trivial, and secondly because I am slowly saving up some good things to make faces for girls in the future.

Mrs. Xing herself has no talent, and she is most stingy.Yingchun is not her biological daughter at all, at this time, counting the days, it is only a few months away from her husband's family to get married, how can she be ready?

Fortunately, Jia Lian and his wife got the letter, and the only sister-in-law climbed up to the palace, so they had to come out and follow along.The two discussed it, and it happened that Sister Feng was pregnant, so Jia Lian sent someone to bring back Sister Feng's mother and daughter, but Ping'er stayed in Ping'an Prefecture.

That's what Sister Feng meant. Anyway, Jia Lian had to keep someone by his side.Instead of telling him to look for wild women everywhere when he is not around, it is better to put Ping'er by his side so that he can be more careful.

When Mrs. Xing saw that Sister Feng was back, she greatly praised Sister Feng for her understanding and friendliness.Sister Feng was flattered and took over the task of buying a dowry for Yingchun.

As soon as she brought over the dowry list, Sister Feng was speechless.

The 5000 taels given by the old lady earlier did not move, Madam Xing was not so bold for the time being.But the dowry is the same.Not to mention the big furniture, there is not even a red-painted toilet.

Sister Feng looked at the 5000 taels of silver in her hand and was in trouble.What is this enough for?

Enduring the discomfort of being only three months pregnant, Sister Feng looked for Mrs. Xing with a smile on her face.After flattering her, she said: "Second sister is going to marry into the palace, this dowry... can't be underestimated. I thought, furniture, clothes, antique headgear, all of these are counted, 5000 taels is not worth it. Da Zu Xing."

Mrs. Xing also had a set of rhetoric: "If I have it, why don't I take it out? What can I do with just a few months of silver every month? I don't know if the old man has any, and I dare not ask. No. It’s just as much as the old lady gave. I have an idea. Anyway, there must be a dowry from the palace. Don’t worry, I will keep all the money and add it all to your sister. You didn’t see it when your sister Lin came out of the cabinet. , the clothes in the dowry are all hundreds of sets. It is just a marquis mansion. I thought, there will be a lot of clothes in the palace. Besides, there are people who add makeup, right? I know all of these Bring it to your sister."

Sister Feng almost vomited blood when she heard this, and regretted coming back this time.It's just that there is nothing I can do now, so I have to prepare for the money first.

But he said that Lin Yan was not on duty that day, and seeing that the weather in late autumn was very clean, he simply changed his clothes and went for a walk in the street.Chang Le'er had already taken a fancy to Cui Ran beside him, and told Lin Yan about it.Lin Yan asked Cuiran what he meant, and Cuiran didn't say anything else, so the matter was settled.Therefore, this time Chang Le'er followed Lin Yan to the streets, and she also had the intention of making a big purchase.

Lin Yan sent Jixiang to carry things with him, and walked leisurely by himself.Just arrived in front of an antique shop, and happened to meet Jia She.

Jia Amnesty thought he had a good relationship with Lin Yan, so he invited him to have a drink with him.Lin Yan was disrespectful and went happily.

"I heard that the Elder Master is about to marry the Dong'an Palace? Congratulations to the Elder Master first." Lin Yan personally poured the wine and handed it to Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty's face turned pale, "That's right. I'm getting married now, but I'm very busy."

Lin Yan smiled and lightly sipped the wine in the glass, then put it down again.Sighed: "Isn't that right. Speaking of it, it's a big event in a girl's life, and it's all about how to be decent. I remember that my sister passed the small ceremony at that time, and our house began to prepare. Rao has enough time. I’m still thinking that I’ve left this behind, or forgotten that. It’s so cumbersome, and spending money is the next best thing.”

Jia Amnesty drank a few more glasses of wine and became a little tipsy. He talked with Lin Yan about preparing to marry in the Spring Festival. Now I want to ask her to leave the pavilion to be more decent, but I can't."

Lin Yan filled another cup, and listened carefully to Jia She's words: "Tell me, 5000 taels of silver to marry a daughter is the norm for a family like us?"

Lin Yan took a deep breath, "How could it be? The Elder Master is a first-class general after all, and there is an old lady in the mansion. After all, it is not an exaggeration to say that the second girl in the mansion is the young lady of the Duke's mansion. Here, 5000 taels... It's not that I'm frivolous, when my sister left the court, the price for two Babu beds was more than that."

Jia Amnesty patted his thigh, "Who said it wasn't? But the old lady gave me just that, what can I do?"

"Well, even if the old lady gave these, don't you add some more, sir? The whole Errong Mansion is supposed to belong to the master, even if your daughter is out of the court, who can tell if you give more things?" What's coming?"

"Uh?"

Jia Amnesty shook his dizzy head after drinking too much, thinking that this was indeed the case.Immediately cited Lin Yan as a confidant of Wangnian, he got up and said, "You mean, I didn't think of this?"

Seeing him swaying, Lin Yan hurriedly called the two escorts who followed Jia Amnesty to come in: "The elder is a little drunk, so I'd like to help him."

Jia Amnesty waved away the hand that helped him, greeted Lin Yan hastily, and led them back.

Lin Yan sat at the round table, looked at the table full of food and drink, and touched his chin.The habit developed in the past few years, whenever something happened to the Rongguo Mansion, he would involuntarily build a bridge to stir the fire.He really didn't mean to do this today!
