[Red House] The Twins of Purple Pearls

Back at the mansion, Jia Min ordered the servants in the front yard to pass on the message as soon as the master came back.

Seeing Yanyu and Daiyu talking, Jia Min felt even more uncomfortable, and when he thought of the former princess of Qingdu, he felt guilty again.The Pisces jade pendant has been kept in the box, Jia Min took out the jade pendant and stroked it, but decided to listen to Lin Ruhai's opinion; even if it is not kind to regret the marriage, she must not push her good girl into the Shi family's den of tigers and wolves.

When they went to the outer courtyard to hear that the master was back, Jia Min asked their siblings to go back to rest, and only let Mammy Liu follow them to the front yard.

Lin Ruhai had just returned to the mansion and changed into a gauze robe, when she turned her head and saw Jia Min pushing the door in and ordering Nanny Liu to guard outside the house.

"Brother Jin's high school, the Shi family had a banquet today. I took Yan'er and Yu'er over to congratulate, and met Mrs. Wen Er and the eldest cousin." Jia Min and Lin Ruhai talked about what happened in Zhongjinghou's mansion, and She made a letter agreement with Princess Qingdu, "At that time, Princess Qingdu just gave birth to Brother Jin, and I was not pregnant with Yan'er Yuer. Now it's my eldest cousin who brought it up again, and I just remembered it. Qing Princess Du died early, and I feel sorry for Brother Jin's misfortune; but Yan'er and Yu'er were raised in my hands and loved, they are our own daughters, I am not willing to let them be Wen's daughter-in-law .”

Lin Ruhai listened to Jia Min's words silently, frowning further.

The situation of historians is very complicated, even men from the previous dynasty know a little bit.The eldest son, Shi Jin, was born of the first wife, Princess Qingdu, and the current Mrs. Zhongjinghou, Mrs. Wen, is the successor; the source of the struggle between the historians is not the dispute between Shi Jin and Shi Heng, but the power and support behind Princess Qingdu. The struggle between the Wen clan of King Zhao.

Princess Qingdu is the daughter of King Chu, the younger brother of the Holy Majesty, and she was brought into the palace to be raised by the former queen because King Chu died in battle.In addition to the lineage of the former Queen's mother's family of Dong'an County King who has been exterminated, the Chu Palace also has relatives and officials; especially Feng Qiu, the old general of Zhenbei who has taken over the post of General Xue Ying, was killed by the King of Chu in the Beimo battlefield. Feng Qiu was so grateful for saving his life once.

The heart of an emperor is the most unpredictable, the taboo of the world is the former queen, and the princess of Qingdu is the adopted daughter of the former queen.

Everyone thought that even though Shi Jin was full of economics and talents, he could only be ranked as a Jinshi, but he never thought that His Majesty would be ranked among the top three.

"Then what do you think?" Lin Ruhai asked after hearing her finish.

"I don't know what to do." Jia Min shook his head after all.

Lin Ruhai also shook his head: "I'm talking about Brother Jin being accused of being a prostitute."

Seeing Lin Ruhai's secretive expression, Jia Min changed his mind and said: "It is said that the king's heart is unpredictable, but now it seems that it is really the case."

In the past, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min talked about the affairs of the previous dynasty, but now they said: "If you look at it carefully, the Wen family may not be able to sit still, and the Zhen family may not be able to sit still. Your Majesty is getting old now, and many things are too late. Looking back, I still don’t know who suffered.”

Even though Lin Ruhai said it in a cryptic manner, Jia Min could sense the key point: "Master, you mean, Your Majesty wants to—" Her voice was trembling, and since these words came from Lin Ruhai's mouth, it was probably true.

"Brother Chongqing has returned to Beijing." Lin Ruhai spoke again after a long silence, but immediately returned to the agreement between Jia Min and Princess Qingdu, "Mrs. Zhuang is right. You and Princess Qingdu made a verbal agreement. Yu and Daiyu are still young, so even if they decide to get married, they still have to wait until their sisters get married; you and Mrs. Zhuang have an agreement first, and wait three to five years before marrying our girl to the Shi family. Wen can't wait."

What Lin Ruhai meant by coming to Lin Ruhai was to agree to marry the historian, but he wanted to delay the marriage until the ceremony of his two daughters before marrying.

After all, this is also the plan for today.

"In my opinion, should we marry Yan'er or Yu'er?" Jia Min couldn't make up his mind, his palms and backs were full of meat, and he couldn't come up with an answer after thinking for a long time.

"I'm not in a hurry to settle on it. I'll watch it slowly and discuss it with my aunt and wife." Lin Ruhai said again.

Originally, the matter of getting married should be discussed with the wife of the in-laws, but the wife of Zhong Jinghou, Mrs. Wen, was unwilling to marry the Lin family, and she was willing to talk to Jia Min, so she could only discuss it with Zhuang Shi; Jinghou Shi Ding has always listened to his younger sister, and it will be a matter of course when the time comes.

In the past, Wen Shi and Wen Shi were just relatives, but now that they really want to be in-laws, Jia Min finds Wen Shi really annoying.If it wasn't for this encounter, she would never have married Shi Jia.

Looking back, Jia Min sent the Pisces jade pendant to the historian, asked Zhuang Shishi to be a witness, and handed it directly to Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding.

The other Pisces jade pendant was in Shi Jin's hands. Shi Jin's nanny said that it was given to Shi Jin by Princess Qingdu before her death.

Hearing this, Jia Min felt even more ashamed of Princess Qingdu.

Wen Shi was ill, and even when he had a meeting with Jia Min, Zhuang Shi Shi, a long-married aunt, came back to entertain him.

"My sister-in-law is really lying in the house and is very ill now!" Zhuang Shi picked up the teacup and sipped it carefully, and said to Jia Min with a smile, "I heard that the second Japanese wife came to visit the house before, and sent her away. The maidservants are waiting outside, and their sister-in-law talked for a long time in the room."

Jia Min gently pushed aside the floating leaves on the tea, and when she heard Zhuang Shishi's words, she sighed, "I'm afraid it's a disaster rather than a blessing."

Zhuang Shishi looked back at Jia Min and smiled wryly, "From now on, we will be our own people, but Wen's family is not our own."

Although he knew that Zhuang Shishi and Wen's family had long been at odds, now that Zhuang Shishi said this, Jia Min remembered what Lin Ruhai had mentioned to her especially, and the Zhuang family had already heard the news.

Zhuang Shishi sent Jia Min out, and the two were walking down the corridor, just in time to meet Shi Jin coming in from the outer courtyard.

"Aunt, cousin." Shi Jin bowed to them far away.

"This is our Tanhualang!" Seeing Shi Jin smiling, Zhuang Shishi talked to Jia Min.

Shi Jin still folded his hands and waited where he was, he already knew about the marriage proposal with the girl from the Lin family.

Jia Min looked at Shi Jin carefully, and it was the mother-in-law who liked her son-in-law more and more, so she said with a smile: "Brother Jin has grown so big in the blink of an eye! How wonderful!"

Zhuang Shishi also asked Shi Jin with a light smile: "Brother Jin just came out of the study?"

Shi Jin responded gently, "Father has told you so much."

"Then go! We won't delay you." Zhuang Shishi nodded, and continued to walk outside the courtyard with Jia Min, while still talking to her, "Speaking of it, it's still good! Master Lin is Tanhualang, Jin Brother Yan is also a Tanhua Lang now, and Brother Yan will get fame in the future, who would not envy you, the wife of the capital!"

Although the family relationship with the Shi family has not yet been written off, Jia Min couldn't help laughing at Zhuang Shi's words: "Brother Yan is so old, this child who has just entered school, how can he compare with Brother Jin. Now Brother Jin is promising, and Princess Qingdu's spirit in heaven can rest assured."

Zhuang Shishi just snorted: "It's too early to say these things now! It's not too late to say it when that day really comes."

Hearing that there was something in Zhuang Shishi's words, Jia Min also felt that it made sense.

Yanyu and Daiyu's sisters didn't know about the marriage with the historian, but Jia Min thought of going to Mo Yiyuan when she learned that Daiyu used to play chess with Yanyu when she returned to the house.

From afar, I saw their sisters playing chess at the bamboo table in the corridor, with tea brewing beside them.

Yanyu twirled a white chess piece and rested her chin in meditation, while Daiyu leisurely picked up the teacup and gently stirred the fine tea.

"Girl, my wife is here!" Yu Bai saw Jia Min and his party coming in, and hurriedly reported.

Daiyu turned around and saw her mother, and called her mother with a happy smile; Yanyu also got up when she heard the sound: "Mother, why are you here?"

Jia Min came over and took a look, then asked with a smile, "Are your sisters playing chess?"

"Mother, my sister has been holding the chess pieces like this for almost a quarter of an hour." Daiyu came to Jia Min and took her mother's hand and pouted.

"Since you have no regrets, you have to think carefully." Yan Yu then put the chess pieces into the chess box.

"No regrets, think carefully." Jia Min frowned thoughtfully upon hearing her words, and then nodded slightly in agreement.

Seeing the clear tea brewed by the bamboo table again, Daiyu poured a cup of tea for Jia Min: "Mother, how about trying the tea I brewed?"

Jia Min sat down on the futon on the other side of the bamboo case and asked the sisters to continue playing chess; Daiyu was still boiling tea, waiting for the chess piece that Yanyu couldn't drop, and saw her sister staring down at the chessboard with a sad face , turned back to Jia Min and said with a smile: "Mom, why don't you play this game for my sister! Otherwise, I will have to wait until the sun goes down."

Yanyu felt that her sister knew her own intentions, and quickly pushed the chess piece in front of Jia Min: "Then I will trouble my mother to do it for me. I have never defeated Yu'er in a chess game, and my mother will help me this time."

"You're just clever! Leave this dead end for me." Jia Min took the chess piece with a helpless smile, and changed seats with Yanyu.

Yanyu poured a cup of tea and drank it slowly, seeing her mother and sister playing chess with great interest.

Jia Min dropped a chess piece, looked up at Daiyu with a smile, "Yu'er, your chess skills are becoming more and more exquisite."

Daiyu said with a smile: "This is me, my sister and my mother. There is a saying in the art of war, knowing yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you were someone else, you would definitely not be able to do this. The second sister of my grandmother's family is good at chess. I played a game with my second sister. The disk is only slightly better than the second sister."

Hearing what her younger sister said, Yanyu put down her teacup and teased her: "Mother, listen to what Yu'er is saying! Second sister is good at chess, and she is slightly better; I don't know that this is a compliment to second sister, Or brag about herself!"

"My sister taught me to tell the truth." Daiyu winked at Yanyu intentionally.

"Don't play tricks! Play chess well, your sister deliberately distracted you." Jia Min chuckled lightly and brought Daiyu back to her thoughts.

"Sister, don't distract me!" Daiyu complained to Yanyu before continuing to focus on the chess game against Jia Min.

Jia Min broke through two predicaments, sighing inwardly that her daughter has really grown up.

After a game of chess, Daiyu narrowly wins.
