Weak Concubine [Qing Wear + Red House]

If Lin Daiyu and Liu Xianglian don't have any close relatives, the marriage should be simple.

But it still dragged on for two months, leaving time for Daiyu to prepare the dowry.

Daiyu politely declined Mrs. Xing's invitation to take her over to marry, but still planned to return to Mrs. Wang.

If it weren't for getting married in Shuiyue Temple (Mantou Temple), she would rather get married there directly, so as to save the trouble of moving around.

However, I still have to go to the second uncle's house, because many of the old things I brought from home before are still there, and I have to clean them up, and take them away when I get married to keep in mind.

And the old lady... When she is about to leave the court, she always has to say goodbye to the old lady.

Regardless of the process, the old lady has provided her with strong support for more than ten years, and she is grateful to her.

As for some money, it is just something outside of the body, if it is gone, it will be gone. Who can she, an orphan girl, justify to anyone for this!

Jinyao's guess is right, Daiyu really doesn't value money very much, even though she is living a difficult life now, she doesn't regard money as important, with the unique aloofness of a literati.

Jia Zheng's family is now living in a house with three juniors. Although the house is not too big, there are not many second-bedroom people.

After the Rongguo mansion was taken back by the emperor, Li Wan went back to live in her natal family because of the convenience of Jia Lan's study, and never came back.

There are only Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan and Jia Baoyu's previous daughter-in-law, a few serious masters.

Most of the servants were dismissed. Except for those around the old lady, only two or three servants were left behind, so even though the house was not too big, Lin Daiyu still felt much deserted along the way, and she didn't see a few servants.

When I got home, I naturally went to see the old lady first. The rooms next to her were also next door to the old lady, which was convenient.

The old lady was still lying on the bed, her hair was all white, and her plump body had lost a lot of weight. Lin Daiyu couldn't stop crying when she saw this.

"Grandmother! Grandpa!"

Daiyu called softly.

Miraculously, Mother Jia was woken up by her:

"Which one is this?"

It turned out that the eyes were not good, and the ears were not working. It was all caused by a sudden fire.

"Grandma, I'm Daiyu, I'm back to see you!"

"Yu'er? My Yu'er is back!" Mother Jia struggled to sit up, but Daiyu hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and Mother Jia hugged her and began to cry.

"My poor Yu'er, my grandmother is sorry for you, I'm sorry for your mother! Those who kill a thousand swords have no conscience!"

"Grandma, don't say that!" Daiyu didn't want to mention this matter.

After trying to persuade her, Daiyu finally expressed her intentions slowly.

Jia Mu was sober at this time, she was silent for a while and sighed: "Nian girl is kind after all, I have had many conflicts with her before, and she can help you regardless of the past. Don't be rusty."

"Thank you grandma for reminding me, Daiyu remembered it."

"Marrying into a simple family, the son-in-law will still be a bodyguard in front of the imperial court. He has a future. You should take care of it in the future and live a good life with your son-in-law!"

He didn't blame her for finding someone without her permission. Obviously, at this time, Mother Jia knew that she really couldn't rely on her.

Patted Daiyu's hand:

"Go and pull out the rosewood box under my bed."

Daiyu followed her instructions suspiciously.

Mother Jia's hands were trembling, and she did not know where to find the key:

"Open the box, there is a small red-lacquered box inside, take it out."

Daiyu took it out and put it in her hand as she said.

Mother Jia caressed the small box and gently opened it, revealing a pair of night pearls the size of a child's fist inside.

Mother Jia closed the box and put it in Daiyu's hands:

"I don't have anything valuable left, but this pair of beads is still decent. I'll give it to you as a dowry. It was given to me by my grandmother when I got married! It's been so many years!"

Daiyu was startled, and hurriedly looked towards the door, only then said softly when no one was there:

"Grandmother, put it away quickly, don't be looked down upon! I don't want it, since it was left to you by your ancestors, you should keep it yourself."

Mother Jia smiled wryly:

"Good boy, take it, and it will make grandma feel more stable when she walks backwards."

Daiyu couldn't refuse, so she had to accept it.

After saying a few words, Jia's mother lost her spirits, her eyes were a little loose, and she was obviously going to be confused again.

Daiyu suppressed her grief, bid her farewell and went back to her room to pack her things.

"Sister Lin? Sister Lin, are you back?"

He heard his voice before he arrived.

Daiyu looked at Xueyan, who hurried to the door and stopped Jia Baoyu who was about to barge in:

"Second Master Bao, you can't barge in!" Now that the girl has a family and is about to get married, she can no longer have no taboos with Second Master Bao as before.

"Xueyan, you are back, so sister Lin must be back too, right? Good sister, I want to scare me. I wanted to follow you as soon as you left the mansion, but my wife didn't allow it, and someone watched me , you can’t go out once in these few months, don’t be angry with me, okay?”

Seeing Baoyu who was still as innocent as ever, Daiyu suddenly wanted to laugh, laughing at herself.

She used to think that only she and Baoyu would remain the same in this world, but she never thought that she would be taught to grow up by reality, and Baoyu was still a teenager.

It’s just that they can’t go back anymore, I don’t know why, she has hardly shed tears in recent months, she has figured it out a long time ago, but now seeing Baoyu, she can’t help but her eyes are sore, she obviously throws it away in hand.

Baoyu was even more anxious when he didn't get Daiyu's reply:

"Sister, why don't we still be together as before? Let's write poems and make rouge together, so happy!"

Before Daiyu could speak, Mrs. Wang's angry voice came from outside the door:

"Baoyu! Didn't I tell you to study hard in your room? Why are you running out to mess around again? Why don't you go back to study soon? You're going to end next year, and you don't know what to worry about. When will you grow up! Huh? Miss You're back? Why didn't you tell someone to pick you up in advance?"

Daiyu suppressed her tears, stood up and saluted: "Thank you for your concern, Second Aunt, the road is not far away, so there is no need for such trouble."

Mrs. Wang was obviously speaking on the occasion, she nodded:

"You haven't met your cousin, have you? It's a good time to meet each other!"

Now Tanchun has become a promise. Although his position is low, he is much better at petting than Yuanchun. At least Tanchun sent the letter back not for money, but for gifts, for the old lady, Jia Zheng, Aunt Zhao, and Jia Huan. Only Mrs. Wang and Baoyu were missing, and their attitude was already very obvious.

With Tanchun, Aunt Zhao's waist became much straighter, and she no longer had the wretched look of the past. Only then did Mrs. Wang realize that the other party had obviously been pretending for nearly 20 years, and even she had missed her.

Now the family is in chaos, without Wang Ziteng's support, she is also living a miserable life

Nianfu

Jinyao stared at Nian Shunyao and remained motionless.

It was only after he stopped what he was doing that he asked:

"How? Did it succeed?"

Nian Shunyao nodded:

"It should be about the same. You will know the result when you try it on Zhuangzi."

"Then what are you waiting for? Quickly load it into the car and pull it over to try!"

To say it was because she was not satisfied. Originally, the grain output was small, so she felt that planting was meaningless. After one year of hard work, it was enough for Master Zhuangzi to eat, and there was not much surplus.

Later, her third brother developed a fertilizer that could increase production, but the cost was a bit high. After seeing it, the emperor shook his head and said that if farmers were to use this fertilizer, it would be impossible to grow fields, and obviously it would not be popularized.

Jinyao can afford to grow it, and after using it, the output is more than twice as high, so Jinyao has new troubles, there are only so many people in the village, and the threshing and shelling of these grains is a big project. I know if it will be busy until next spring!

So Nian Shunyao came up with a new idea, but it took more than a month to make such a big guy, which is said to be able to thresh and save manpower.

Taking the children with them, the brother and sister rushed to Zhuangzi outside the city.

This year's weather is warmer than last year's. It's the season, and the ice in the lake hasn't frozen yet.

"This year's Ice Fun Day hasn't been decided yet, and it's been moved back and forth. I think it won't be possible this year!"

Jin Yao looked at the road outside and said casually.

Grandma Sun took a look and said, "This year's weather is abnormal. It's the end of the year and there hasn't been a few heavy snowfalls. The snow outside the city is not deep. I'm afraid there will be natural disasters next year." It's either a drought or a pest plague.

"..." Jin Yao obviously understood.

Suddenly the eyes lit up:

"Mom, you know medicine. Can you develop a poison that only targets pests and does not harm crops or people?"

"You mean against locusts?"

Jin Yao nodded:

"It's not just locusts, but also pests that harm crops." Even if there is no pest infestation, food will attract insects.

"You can try it, I haven't thought about it before."

"Left and right are no big deal, mom can try as long as she needs someone to prepare for it."

"If this kind of medicine can really be developed, then Mammy will be famous in history!" Jin Ling laughed.

Nanny Sun shook her head, she doesn't need those false names, but she really can't waste her skills, she must pass on the Sun family's ancestral medical skills!

in the palace

Ever since the fourth master caught the epidemic in the grassland and almost disappeared, Kangxi would call the fourth master to his side from time to time when he returned to Beijing, or say a few words, or teach a few words.

It was late afternoon and seeing that Fourth Master was not in a hurry to leave the palace and return home, he couldn't help asking curiously:

"Why aren't you in a hurry to go back home today? Is there anything else going on?"

Fourth Master didn't feel embarrassed, and said naturally:

"Nian Shi took Ningchuge and Hongzhi to Nian Mansion to play with her third brother."

"Oh?" Kangxi sat up straight and said seriously:

"What did Nian Shunyao make again?"

"It is said that it is an agricultural tool that can help threshing rice." He didn't know the specifics, but Jinyao said that her third brother was researching this.

"Have you made it?"

"It's almost done today."

"Nian Shunyao is a great talent! Liang Jiugong?"

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Liang has gone to the imperial dining room to arrange dinner." Li Dequan stepped forward and said, he is Liang Jiugong's apprentice, and now that the master is getting older, most of them are served by him.

"It's the same for you, go and ask Nian Shunyao where is the thing, is it finished?"

"Whoo!"

After a while Li Dequan came back:

"Your Majesty, I found out clearly. Uncle Nian and Nian Fang Fujin took a carriage to Zhuangzi outside the city. They heard that something was ready, so they went to Zhuangzi to test the effect."

Kangxi clapped his hands and laughed:

"That's really catching up, let's go, let's go and have a look! Last year, I heard that Nian's Zhuangzi looks like a fairyland. This year, I will go to reward it again, and I will be the first!"

What can fourth master say?

Since the crown prince was abolished a few months ago, there has been no stability in the court, and the harem has not stopped. He can feel the pressure of the emperor, and he rarely smiles every day.

Now it's rare to be in the mood to visit his Fujin's Zhuangzi, who can refuse?He had no choice but to ask someone to hurry over and ask Jinyao to make arrangements.

When Jinyao arrived at Zhuangzi, she went straight to the threshing ground, called the people on Zhuangzi, and carried the big guy down, and Nian Shunyao led his servant Fangyuan to assemble it himself.

Jinyao asked someone to bring over the dried and unthreshed rice, and at the same time asked someone to take a clean thatch and spread it at the rice outlet of the big guy, waiting for the rice to be harvested.

At this moment, the person sent by the fourth master arrived and told her that the emperor was coming to visit her village! ! !

Jinyao was speechless, and pointed to the entrance of Zhuangzi, there was no need to notify her in advance, she had already seen the emperor's car driving!
