New Dream of Red Mansions

Both Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang thought that Mrs. Pingyanghou was here to see Xiyan, so they were taken aback when they heard that the old lady wanted to be a matchmaker.

Mother Jia couldn't help sitting up straight, and said with certainty: "You mean my granddaughter?"

The old lady nodded, "My niece and daughter-in-law once met Miss Lin at the Huguo Temple, and she kept thinking about it. It just so happened that her brother-in-law was only a high school student this year, and was about to say goodbye, so he came to beg me when he knew that I had a relationship with the old lady." .”

Mother Jia's heart immediately blossomed, and she breathed a sigh of relief, watching Yan's kindness, "...she grew up in front of me since she was a child, but her temperament is that of the Lin family, gentle and elegant, It's useless for me to rush."

The old lady smiled and said: "It can be seen that the old lady taught well."

Mother Jia sent someone to call Daiyu.

Daiyu wanted to take Xiyan with her, but Hupo smiled and said, "Miss Lin, the old lady said she has something to say to you."

This meant to see Daiyu alone.

Daiyu was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Xiyan.Xiyan nodded at her, and Daiyu took Zijuan and Hupo away together.

Xiyan was thoughtful.

Daiyu blushed when she came back, Xiyan looked at it curiously, and asked: "I heard that the old lady asked you to meet someone, do you know that person?"

Daiyu blushed and shook her head, "I don't know her." I just know the person she mentioned.

Xiyan felt that she hadn't finished speaking, but seeing that she didn't continue, she didn't ask.

In the evening, Daiyu hugged her pillow and came to squeeze with Xiyan. After waiting for a long time, Xiyan didn't see her talking, so she fell asleep in a daze. When she was in a daze, she suddenly heard Daiyu whisper: "I'm afraid the old lady going to marry me..."

The room was quiet for a while, Xiyan fell asleep for a while, and the words kept repeating in her mind, finally touched a nerve, Xiyan woke up, got up quickly and asked: "What did you just say?"

Although Daiyu was a little embarrassed, she still said: "People from the Su family in the south of the Yangtze River came over today and mentioned the intention of getting married. The old lady is very satisfied. It seems that it is about to be settled."

Xiyan frowned, "Jiangnan Su's family? Isn't that my maternal ancestor's family? It's just that the Jiangnan Su's family has a big business. I don't know which house it belongs to? Can the old lady find out who that person is? How did you agree?"

"I didn't agree, and there's no need to inquire about it. There has been a lot of trouble recently. Anyone in the capital knows about his family's idea?"

So it seems that he is still a well-known person, "Who is it?"

"It's Jinke Tanhua." Daiyu leaned on the pillow and said, "I told you that when my carriage accidentally bumped into someone, it was him."

Xiyan opened her mouth halfway, "This, isn't this too dramatic?"

"drama?"

"Oh, I mean it's too fateful, so who is the matchmaker?"

Daiyu blushed even more, "It's your future mother-in-law."

"The old lady is the daughter of Su's family, if she is willing to be a matchmaker, then even if Su Zihan is not a direct descendant, the family must be valued very much, but I don't know how the family is going."

Daiyu knew more. Today Jiamu left her alone and told her about Su Zihan's situation in detail.Originally, I shouldn't have talked to her about the marriage proposal, but Mother Jia felt sorry for her and wanted to ask her what she meant, so she did.

But Daiyu also understood that her marriage was decided by Jia Mu, so these things were just told to her.

Although Jia's mother was very satisfied with the Su family, she still wanted to confirm again that she could not harm her granddaughter because of her carelessness, so she sent someone to inquire about the Su family's affairs and Su Zihan's personality.Knowing that Lin Yuan and Su Zihan were friends, he quickly invited him too.

When Lin Yuan knew that Su Zihan was asking to marry Daiyu, he almost spit out the tea in his mouth (if there was any). Su Zihan is still smiling at him today, and he didn't reveal anything about it. It's too much.

Although he was dissatisfied with Su Zihan on this point, Lin Yuan quickly weighed Su Zihan's conditions for being his brother-in-law, and nodded secretly after a while.Su Zihan was barely worthy of Daiyu.

Mrs. Wang went back to her yard but turned around like a trapped animal. Sister Feng was a little confused and said, "Madam, if Miss Lin can have a good marriage, maybe she can help Brother Bao in the future. After all, Brother Bao and Miss Lin grew up together, just like brother and sister."

Mrs. Wang frowned, "What do you know? Our family still owes her money, so much money, if the Su family forces us to pay it back, and now the family is in a difficult time, what do we have to pay it back?"

Sister Feng's eyebrows twitched, and she finally thought of those families who had promised Daiyu earlier.Not only are those families not as powerful as the Jia family, but they are also far behind in terms of wealth. I am afraid that even if they know about this, they would not dare to openly ask for money from the Jia family, right?

Sister Feng had to lower her eyes, pretending she didn't hear anything.

Mrs. Wang was secretly anxious, but now she couldn't even take charge of Tanchun's marriage, let alone Daiyu's marriage. When she was trying to find a way to pass some words to the Su family, Jia's mother quickly talked to Su. The family exchanged Geng Tie.

Mrs. Wang didn't care about mopping things up, and hurriedly acted.

When Yan heard the news reported by his servants, he was both angry and funny, "This Mrs. Wang is also very interesting. The niece has obtained such a good marriage. She is not happy. Why destroy it? If she sees It is understandable for Daiyu to be her daughter-in-law, but she only identified her own niece as her daughter-in-law, why did she get involved?"

Chunhong pondered for a moment, and said: "Madam, I think we should go and check it out, don't tell us there is something hidden that we don't know, it will be difficult to go back on our word after two days."

Su Zihan, who had been listening outside for a while, hurried in and said, "I know why."

Yan Shi looked at him with a half-smile.

Su Zihan's face was slightly red, but he still said: "Today Lin Yuan called me, but he told the whole story. When I inquired about the news earlier, I vaguely heard that Jia's family had borrowed Miss Lin's money to build a garden. It turned out to be true. Previously, Jia’s mansion built a Grand View Garden for the provincial relatives. Because they didn’t have enough money, they borrowed money from Ms. Lin. After discussing with Lin Yuan, Ms. Lin took out half of the shop left to her and mortgaged it to Jia’s mansion. The total amount is 28 taels, but the garden will need to be tidied up later, and the various decorations in it will also cost money. The Jia family borrowed 22 taels of silver from Miss Lin, and now there are only five shops left for her. Madame is afraid that our Su family will find out and force them to pay back the money, so they resorted to such a scheme."

Yan frowned, "This Miss Lin's ears are too soft, how could she lend so much money so easily?"

Su Zihan laughed and said, "Why stick to these external things? I think she takes her feelings very seriously, which is very good. She can earn more money when it's gone, and how does she know that the dignified Rongguo Mansion will pay it back for not paying it back?" Silver to make such a trick?

Money touches people's hearts, this is the most basic truth, Yan does not believe that Daiyu will not know.I just don't know why she lent the money to the Jia family so easily. Could it be that she has something to rely on?

Yan's guess was right, if Daiyu hadn't had the money her father had left for her in private, she wouldn't have lent out so much money so easily.It's fine if she's the only one, but she still has a brother to raise, even if she doesn't think about her own, she still has to think about her brother and the whole Lin family.So to a certain extent, Daiyu was still very careful.

Mrs. Wang's plan failed, and the Su family quickly came to make a decision.

What Yan means is that Su Zihan will stay in the capital for a long period of time, so their marriage should be held in the capital.Mother Jia couldn't wait for her, so she asked someone to write a letter to the head of the Lin clan, telling him that Daiyu was engaged.It means that those things you kept for Daiyu should be returned to Daiyu.At this time, Jia's mother hadn't thought of the shops borrowed by her family.

Yan also wrote a letter to Su Ziwen, telling him that Su Zihan's marriage was finalized, so that he would preside over Zihan's marriage in the capital, so he asked him to ship all the dowry gifts he had prepared for Zihan to the capital. Zihan got married in the capital.

Su Ziwen jumped up when he received the letter, and cursed: "When will it be your turn to decide my brother's marriage? You didn't even ask me." Immediately, people prepared a boat, and he was going to Beijing.

When Aunt Dong heard about it, she quickly came over to stop him, "Master, let's talk about this matter with the eldest wife, and you will go to Beijing after the eldest wife agrees."

Su Ziwen was so angry that he pointed at her nose and scolded: "Are you trying to sow discord? The eldest wife asked you to take care of the house for her, and that's how you repay her? A concubine is a concubine, so she really can't get on the stage! Get out of the way, Come here, prepare a boat for the Lord." Shouting, he passed Aunt Dong and went out.

Aunt Dong just turned pale, Su Ziwen never said that to her.

However, Su Ziwen felt overwhelmed. For the first time, he deeply felt that it would be better if his wife was by his side. At least she would take care of these things in advance.

The big steward ran over to ask for instructions, "Master, the eldest wife told me to ship the dowry gift, should I pretend it or not?"

Su Ziwen was in a bad mood, so he immediately kicked the chief steward, but the chief steward didn't move, the foot just stuck to his clothes, without any strength, and he had long been used to it.

"Of course you pretend! How did you become so stupid? How old is your second master? If you can't marry a wife in Jiangnan, can't you get married in the capital too? In addition to the dowry you saved earlier, I will move some from the warehouse. "What if my younger brother is too promising and marries someone with a noble status?It's better to prepare the dowry gift in advance, so as not to have to prepare in a hurry when you get the head.

The concubines in Su Ziwen's backyard heard that the old man was going to the capital, so they went to the main courtyard together in groups of three or five, and wanted to ask Su Ziwen to take them there.

Su Ziwen was full of thoughts about the affairs of the capital, when he saw them coming, he felt a buzzing sound in his ears, and waved his hands impatiently: "I won't take anyone with you this time, you guys go back quickly."

One of the aunts who looked to be in her teens laughed and said, "Master is talking nonsense again. If we don't follow, then who will serve you?"

"That's right, that's right, sir, just take us with you."

Su Ziwen said impatiently: "Isn't there such a big wife in Beijing? Just let her serve, and if it doesn't work, just buy it. Now the boat really can't hold people." The most important thing is that if he really dares to take these people If he brought him there, his wife would have to kick him out. Of course, his younger brother's thoughts were even more terrifying.

The aunts were immediately disappointed.
