Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Yan Hui took a look at her and said with a smile: "I just saw that you looked very preoccupied, so you were worried about this, don't worry, it's not another family, it's my aunt's little grandson named Gu Zhan, 16 years old this year At the age of [-], not only was he born well, but he was also well-educated, both civil and military, and he was selected as a scholar last year, and he is still the top case."

Li Wan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. Lan'er often talked about Gu Zhan at home. He was a very intelligent young man with a good temperament. He was also the son of a great Confucian. "When was the engagement?"

Yan Hui said with a smile: "In June, I changed Geng Tie, and in early August, I passed Xiao Ding."

It turns out that Daiyu recognized Yan Hui as her godmother, so she often went to live with Jiang's family.

Mrs. Gu saw that Dai Yusheng was both talented and beautiful, intelligent and clever, so she liked it very much. Gu Lin and his family are both prominent families in Gusu, their ancestors are also family friends, and they have a relationship like Yan Hui, so they are very interested in this new one. His grandniece loved him even more, and he was no worse than his own granddaughter.

Daiyu also followed Yingxue's lead, calling Mrs. Gu's aunt and cousin Gu Zhan.

Mrs. Gu's eldest son and his family are all in office, and her youngest grandson, Gu Zhan, is busy with his studies, so his family is desolate, so he often picks up Yingxue and Daiyu to live there for a while.

Gu Lin and his family have a close relationship, Mrs. Gu loves Daiyu very much in her heart, thinking that her little grandson Gu Zhan has not yet been engaged, the two people are quite similar in appearance, it is an excellent couple, after discussing with Gu Yan, she entrusts Shen Yi Went to check Lin Ruhai's tone.

It happened that Lin Ruhai was also worrying about Daiyu's marriage. He was seriously ill before, although the poison was cured by Zhang's magic doctor, but he was seriously injured.

At the beginning when he sent Daiyu to Rongguo Mansion, he really had the intention of entrusting his orphans, and he also had the idea of ​​marrying Jia's family. After all, it was the family of his deceased wife, so it was better than someone who didn't know the details, and Daiyu had been in Jia's family for many years. With Baoyu's childhood sweetheart, they both know each other's temperament and character, and they have a relationship with cousins. Once they go, the Jia family will not treat Daiyu badly. Knowing Baoyu's temper, he gave up this idea.

For the past two years, he has been worrying about this matter, secretly looking for suitable people, but he was never satisfied. That day Shen Yi was entrusted by Mrs. Gu to find out, Lin Ruhai was very moved.

.

The Gu family has been an aristocratic family since the previous dynasty, and generations of talents have emerged in large numbers.

In this dynasty, several princesses have been honored one after another. In terms of family status, they are far superior to the Lin family. Gu Yan is also a great Confucianist in the world, with peaches and plums all over the world. There are many old students and a wide network of contacts. Gu Zhan is also a serious royal blood. Although the Lin family is also an aristocratic family , but it was only at the beginning of the founding of this dynasty that they made a fortune, and the clan has always been withered and the branches are not prosperous.

As for Gu Zhan, Lin Ruhai has met him several times, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a young talent. Although he is not very old, he is intelligent and handsome, with outstanding character and knowledge. Few of the young masters I have seen over the years can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

Moreover, the Gu family has a clean and upright family style, and there is a family rule that only forty children can take concubines. Gu Zhan's parents have long since passed away. It can be described as a good family with all corners.

But even so, Lin Ruhai didn't let go immediately, but after studying Gu Zhan for more than half a year, and asked Daiyu what he meant, he let go and agreed.

Daiyu and Gu Zhanxian often met each other, and they both agreed with each other, so the two families settled on this marriage.

After Li Wan heard this, she was very happy for Daiyu. Before that, she had always worried that the power of fate was too strong, and whether Daiyu's future would remain as miserable as in the original book. Now she finally calmed down and thought about it Then he said to Yan Hui: "Girls who get married too early can easily hurt their health. Sister Lin is still young, so it's best to wait a few more years."

It is dangerous for a woman to give birth, and Daiyu was born weak, and now she has been recuperating for several years, although she is no different from ordinary people, after all, she is young and her body has not yet grown up, so it is not the right time to give birth.

Yan Hui laughed and said: "My aunt and I also said the same. Yu'er will only be fifteen next year, so there is no need to worry about getting married. Master Lin also said that he intends to keep her for two more years, and Zhan'er will also be married to Qiu Wei in the next year." The end, so the two families discussed and decided to wait for two or three years to discuss the matter of getting married, and then Zhan'er will have fame and Yu'er will grow up, which is just right."

Li Wan nodded and was about to speak, when Daiyu and Yingxue came in holding some red plums, they quickly covered their mouths and changed the subject.

So everyone talked and laughed, and roasted meat again. The days are short in winter, and the clock is already striking four.When they got up, they all went to the porch to look at the plum blossoms, and then went to Daiyu's room for dinner.Yan Hui's mother and daughter didn't return home until after the lights were lit, so I don't need to go into details.

Yan Hui originally planned to return the banquet the next day, and invited Li Wan and Dai Yu to visit the mansion, but who would have thought Jiang knew

The mansion suddenly fell ill, and within a few days, due to continuous snowfall, the houses of many people outside the city collapsed. As the magistrate's wife, Yan Hui was also busy arranging disaster relief and taking care of her husband. It was Jiang Yingxue and Ji's ceremony again, Jiang's family and his family were busy going around, so the matter of repaying the banquet had to be shelved for the time being.

At noon that day, Li Wan was warming up by the fire in the warm pavilion, watching the girls doing needlework, when a little girl suddenly sent a message: "Aunt Liu came back and said that my grandma called me to inquire about the house, and I came to ask grandma for instructions. "

After hearing this, Li Wan called in and asked carefully.

Aunt Liu came in to invite Ann, and Fang replied: "That house was originally owned by a local squire named Cao. The house is very good. There are two entrances in total. There are about forty houses in the front and back. It is very elegantly built. Just listen to it When we said we wanted to buy a house, the family said that the asking price was 4000 taels, and they would not sell anything less.”

After hearing this, Li Wan asked, "Have you gone to see it? How is this house?"

Hearing this, Li Wan frowned slightly, and said, "Didn't you say 3000 taels earlier? Why did you gain another 1000 taels for nothing?"

Aunt Liu said helplessly after hearing this: "Originally it was 3000 taels, but it happened that two more came to see the house and wanted to buy this house. The one surnamed Cao became more and more confident and refused to let go of his mouth. .”

Hearing this, Li Wan lowered his head and thought for a while, then finally shook his head and said, "Forget it, is there anything else suitable?"

Aunt Liu hurriedly said: "There are still a few more, but the houses in good locations are not spacious enough, and the large and spacious houses are a little bit off, so they are not as suitable as this one; There is a garden, which is very spacious, but the location is not very good, on Silk Street outside the west gate, surrounded by vendors, people come and go, a bit noisy."

Li Wan couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing this, Aunt Liu hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't worry, I will go to other places tomorrow to inquire, maybe there will be a suitable one."

Li Wan nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Go and inquire first, and then reply when you have news."

Aunt Liu agreed and resigned.

When Jia Lan returned home in the evening, Li Wan discussed with him about moving out. Although Jia Lan was young, Li Wan always consulted him on everything since he was a child, and never made decisions on his own because of his young age.

After hearing this, Jia Lan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "What Mom said is also reasonable, it's better not to disturb Aunt Lin's house all the time, I just wonder which house Mom has her eyes on?"

Li Wan told Aunt Liu about the news during the day

Tell him, frowned and said: "Originally, the Cao family's house was not bad, but now that family is talking like a lion, there is no need for us to catch up."

After hearing this, Jia Lan lowered her head and pondered, suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mom, I know there is a house with a good location and spacious space, Mom will definitely like it."

Li Wan hurriedly asked where it was, and Jia Lan said with a smile: "It's not somewhere else, but the Jin Mansion next door to Mr.'s house. There is only an alley away from Mr.'s house. There are four entrances. The place is spacious. There are fifty or sixty houses in front and back. There is an exquisite garden, very elegant, and it only costs 600 taels of silver."

Li Wan was startled when he heard the words, and said: "A house in such a location costs at least 5000 taels. How can it be so cheap? There must be a reason."

Jia Lan said with a smile: "Mom's guess is right. I also heard from the housekeeper's grandfather before. I heard that the ancestor of that family was also a big family, but it has not been settled for many years. The owner of the family passed away due to illness in his early years, leaving only one son. , guarding some family property to live.

Originally, the family was well-off, but who would have thought that this son was a dandy, and the family spent a lot of time drinking and drinking, and in less than a year the family property was wiped out, so he had to sell the house.

It happened that the former magistrate came to Suzhou to take up his post, and he immediately took a fancy to the house, but after living in it for a few years, it broke down, and then the house was bought by a senior official Jin, but it happened within two years. He died of illness.

The Jin family planned to buy another courtyard, so they wanted to sell the house.

It's just that everyone said that the feng shui of this house is not good, and no one dared to buy it even if the asking price was so low. "

Li Wan was very moved when she heard this, but she didn't care about the taboo of others, besides, the accidents in these families can be said to be her own fault, not Feng Shui.

The house is spacious, and it is a rare good location. The surrounding people are all dignitaries, and the public security is very good. It is next door to Shen's residence. In the future, Jia Lan will not have to go back and forth to study, and it is only one street away from Lin's family. convenient.

Thinking of this, Li Wan said to Jia Lan: "You go and have a look at the house tomorrow, if it's really good, we'll buy it."

Jia Lan agreed, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will go with my husband to have a look. If we really buy it, our two families will be neighbors."

After another gossip, the mother and son went back to their rooms to rest.

Early the next morning, Jia Lan went to see the house and was very satisfied. The Jin family was afraid that he would go back on his word and wanted to sell it as soon as possible, so they took the initiative to save 50 taels of silver.

Daiyu heard that Li Wan was going out

Going to live, very unwilling, Lin Ruhai also sent someone to spread the word after hearing that, Daolin's family had several houses besides the ancestral house, and asked the two mothers to choose one to live in.

Li Wan hastily thanked her, only saying that the house had already been bought, and persuaded Daiyu a little bit more, tactfully mentioned her concerns, and Daiyu reluctantly agreed.

Let's say that when Jia Lan came back from Shen's residence in the evening, as soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw bright lights and candles in the upper room, and Li Wan sitting on the smoker cage. There were still a few people who couldn't tell who they were.

Walking into the room, I saw Li Wan sitting in the fumigation cage, facing north; there was a table of fruits and vegetables; On an underground chair, facing south, they were knocking sunflower seeds, and the whole room was full of people talking and laughing, which was very lively.

When Jia Lan heard it, it turned out that everyone was discussing how to tidy up the house tomorrow, and you offered ideas one by one, one said what paintings to hang on the wall, and the other said what furnishings to put in the house.

Jia Lan listened for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "Tomorrow, I'll go with Mom too."

Li Wan embraced him and sat down next to him, then moved a few plates of his favorite fruit snacks over, and said with a smile: "Didn't you already read it before, we are just going to clean up the house tomorrow, you follow What are you doing, didn't you say that Mr. Shen told you to go to the academy tomorrow, don't delay because of this."

Daiyu laughed and said, "We're just going to see how it's arranged. The cleaning is done by women and maids. What are you going to do?"

Jia Lan had no choice but to listen.
