Red Mansions Are Floating Clouds

Mama is old, and it would be too unfilial to leave her alone, but even so, even helping Daiyu manage the dowry business is already a big challenge

Nanny Song wanted to knock Song Chunsheng on the head when she knew what he was thinking, and said angrily, "Do you think you can still choose by yourself now? You were already destined to follow when the master asked you to manage the girl's village. Girl, if you say no to going now, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in the Lin Manor in the future!"

Song Chunsheng saw that Nanny Song was really angry, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Mother, don't get angry, I'm just talking, how can I not know that I can only live with the girl in this life, I don't want to bear you alone Are people alone?"

Song Chunsheng is Nanny Song's only son, and he has a son and a daughter. Nanny Song's status in the Lin family is very high and she is old, so it is absolutely impossible for her to marry with Daiyu, so Song Chunsheng took his family to Ding In the Duke's Mansion, Nanny Song is left with only a widow. Song Chunsheng would not bear to come

Nanny Song sighed after hearing the words: "What are you talking about alone? We are all the sons of the Lin family. If the master and the girl treat us well, what extravagance do we have?"

Song Chunsheng smiled and said, "Why don't you let your daughter-in-law and her son serve you in the Lin Mansion?"

Nanny Song shook her head and said: "I heard from the master that the girl likes to eat the dishes cooked by her daughter-in-law, and I want her to marry too."

In fact, Song Chunsheng was given to Daiyu by Lin Ruhai a long time ago, and then Sister-in-Law Song also lived with Daiyu in Jia's mansion for a long time. The most promising people are the two people around Daiyu who are properly with Daiyu. After all, when Daiyu married Dingguo, she could only rely on their dowry.

Besides, the four newly selected maids are all very charming, especially the green satin pinch-tooth panties that are replaced by the third-class maids look particularly fresh and tender. Two of them are Li Da's twin daughters, who look exactly the same, and they are all ordinary. Daiyu named them Xiaolian and Xiaohe because they were delicate and pretty, and the granddaughter of Nanny Xia in the sewing room was soft and lovely, so Daiyu named her Xiaorou, and there was a little girl who was a rough envoy. Daughter, born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, she looks cute and cute, so Daiyu named her Xiaoke

A few people learned the rules for a month, and then came to Daiyu's place to obey, bringing ripples to the originally peaceful Hanbilou. Xiaolian and Xiaohe are the most diligent and winking. The second-class maids are so close to each other, but they are not ambiguous at all. Xiao Rou is lazy all day long, except for her good manners, she is rarely seen working.

After observing for a while, Daiyu couldn't help but smile wryly. There was a good atmosphere in Hanbi upstairs, but now the four of them have mixed up and made a little calculation. I'm afraid some of the second-class maids are tempted, and the bottom has already begun. Seeing the rudimentary form of cliques and cliques, it is true, even if there are only a few people in a unit, it can be divided into two or three cliques, let alone a place like Hanbilou, where the number of people exceeds dozens?

Crystal also told Daiyu in private, but the principle of Daiyu's management is to just do the job well and not make trouble, but if things are not done well or deliberately make trouble, they will definitely be severely punished

Based on this principle, the four newly appointed first-class maids have found out some people who are not good at doing things these days. After several heavy punishments, the Hanbi Building is indeed much cleaner.

Although he didn't go abroad to filial piety, but Dingguo's mansion couldn't wait to set the wedding date, so Dingguo sent Lin Ruhai a few good days that were calculated by divination, and Lin Ruhai chose the one with the last date without hesitation. ——March [-] next year, Duke Ding is so regretful that his intestines are green. If he had known this, he would not have written the date of next year, but only this winter.

The two families decided on a date in private, and began to prepare separately. Not only is it cumbersome for the woman’s family to prepare the dowry, but it also takes a long time for the man’s family to prepare the dowry, determine various chores for the banquet, and paint the new house.

The dowry has its own eldest princess and a group of people in charge to buy it, but the new house still has to be handed over to Su Yunheng to pick it himself.

Dingguo Mansion and the connected Princess Mansion together occupy an entire street - in comparison, the two Ningrong mansions occupying the entire Ningrong Street are much inferior. Speaking of which, Ningrong Street is far from the imperial city. It is far away, and there are almost no houses of high officials and dignitaries around, and the Dingguo Mansion and Lin Mansion are near the imperial city, surrounded by ordinary deep mansions, the streets are deep and long, and often no one passes by for a long time

Su Yunheng wanted to choose a new house, so naturally he would smoke it in the Duke Dingguo's mansion, but choosing where would still take a lot of brainpower. Although Songfengxuan's courtyard is big, it doesn't have enough houses, so it won't be able to accommodate Daiyu's many maids who are closer to Shenrutang. There is another courtyard that no one earns and is only a little smaller than Shenrutang. The front gate leads into a courtyard, and then there are three open halls. Walking in from the open hall, there is another courtyard, but it is larger than the front one. There are four corridors on all sides, facing five spacious upper rooms, three wing rooms on each side, and a row of back rooms at the back, which is almost enough.

But Su Yunheng looked back and forth several times, and he always disliked the bad view of this courtyard, which is not as elegant as the courtyards around the garden over there. He thought that people who can enjoy themselves like Daiyu might prefer to live next to the garden.

After hesitating for several days but still not making a decision, when Su Yunheng went to Shenrutang for breakfast one day, the eldest princess asked him if he had chosen. Su Yunheng shook his head and said, "Why don't you ask mother to choose for me?"

The eldest princess smiled and glanced at Ye Kexin who had come to invite An Cengfan, and said to Su Yunheng: "This is your wedding, not mine, or you choose the one you like. If you don't choose well, I will marry you." So I sent someone to send the blueprints to Daiyu, and asked her to choose."

Su Yunheng smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Since that's the case, don't worry about my mother, I will send the drawings over in person." He drank the remaining porridge in one go and drank the tea that the maid hurriedly brought to rinse his mouth, and washed the bowl and other things

Seeing him hurriedly saluting, the eldest princess withdrew, and couldn't help smiling at Duke Ding: "Look at your son, you haven't brought your wife home yet, so you just remember it every day. I'm so jealous"

Duke Dingguo smiled with his beard and said: "What kind of vinegar are you eating? It's not like you haven't met Miss Lin. She's not someone who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth. She won't be naughty with you after she gets married."

Ye Kexin had her eyes downcast and expressionless, but when she heard Ding Guogong say "those people who don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth", it sounded like she was talking about herself, so she couldn't help but clenched her fists

The eldest princess glanced at Ye Kexin, stopped dwelling on this topic, and asked instead: "I heard that King Shui Rong of Beijing has adopted a beautiful concubine, why didn't I hear that someone took him in?"

Duke Ding smiled slightly, and said: "This beautiful concubine is not a new concubine, it's just a new favorite. Who do you know? It was a dowry brought by a girl from Zhen Guogong's family who was originally married to King Beijing as a side concubine. But it's not a maid, but a cousin."

When the eldest princess heard about King Jing's side concubine, she couldn't help but snorted coldly, and said: "So it's her! I didn't expect Mrs. Zhen Guogong's wife to be so smart and confused for a while, she wanted to send that fat girl to serve her precious daughter, but she didn't expect that now But it turned out like this." Princess Beijing once asked the queen mother to ask Daiyu to be the side concubine of King Beijing. When this matter reached the eldest princess, the eldest princess lost her temper once, so she was very angry with this woman who later married to be the side concubine. Niu Qianqian is very impressed

The eldest princess wondered again: "Didn't you say that the king of Beijing only loved beauties all his life? How could he even like cousin Niu Qianqian? Could it be that he's hungry?" After all, she was overjoyed

Seeing her happy, Ding Guogong also smiled and said: "That's not true - if you see it, you probably won't believe it. The secret report sent back by the spies said that this cousin has lost weight for some reason, and she can also write and draw. , can speak well, but just a face-to-face has fascinated King Beijing."

The eldest princess couldn't help being amazed when she heard this, and said, "I must go and see you next time."

Ye Kexin listened to their chatting and laughing, quietly finished her meal, then said goodbye and went back

As soon as she left, the eldest princess hurriedly asked Duke Ding if he had found a good wife for Ye Kexin.

Dingguogong proudly said: "What's so difficult about this? Although Kexin is not our daughter, she was raised and raised by Princess Dingguo in the Dingguofu after all. I’ve come to ask someone to inquire, after I pick a good family, I can settle the marriage.”

The eldest princess still dare not breathe a sigh of relief, who knows what kind of moth will appear among Ye Kexin

Unexpectedly, if something goes wrong, something will happen. It hasn't been two days. The eldest princess was playing with Er Niu and San Niu when she heard hurried footsteps outside.

The eldest princess knew that she had something to go back, so she quickly stood up from the game blanket on the ground and walked to the side. Liu Nanny whispered back: "My cousin fell into the water." The eldest princess was a little surprised, and added: "It just so happens that the eldest son fell into the water." I lived there, and now it is said in the mansion that the son looked at the cousin girl's body and ruined the cousin girl's innocence."

No.70 "Recovery"

When the eldest princess heard the words, she immediately cursed: "Go to hell with your innocence, you dare to say that while wearing clothes in broad daylight! Go check! See who has the guts to spread such words! I think some people here don't want to be here. The Dingguo government has done it!"

Grandma Liu felt the same way, not to mention that the rumor spread too fast to make people suspicious, but she just said that it was such a coincidence that she accidentally fell into the water when the prince passed by, and she was wearing light clothes in summer, and her clothes were really soaked. It's not very elegant... Thinking about it, Liu Mama realized that she actually thought that Ye Kexin's innocence was indeed gone. As for who this innocence was given to, it was naturally the eldest son who happened to pass by.

This is really embarrassing, but Mother Liu knew that her princess had eaten it when she first married.
