There is a fairy wife at home [Red Mansion]

When I opened my eyes, there was still a red silk curtain and a carved wooden bed, with exquisite sachets hanging from the four corners of the tent.There is a dressing table next to the bed, and a red mother-of-pearl dowry is particularly conspicuous. The interior decoration is antique, and it is completely the boudoir of an ancient woman.

It seems that it is not a dream, she is really reborn with this body.

This body has just turned fifteen, and she is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. According to the calculation of the order of the Jiang family's two houses together, she ranks fourth among the sisters, and they are called the fourth girl in the family.

In terms of background, the fourth girl is really not bad.His father is Jiang Huai, the elder of the big house. His grandfather has been in the army since his grandfather. Mr. Jiang fought bravely and caught up with the good times.Her mother's surname was Jia, and it was said that she was a concubine girl from a wealthy family in the capital, but since Jiang Huai passed away, she had no contact with Beijing.Back then Jiang Huai was already thirty when he got married, most military generals married so late in those days, but it didn't mean they had never had children.It's a pity to say that when Jia Shi was pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, Mrs. Jiang had a long face at that time.I got pregnant again within half a year, but at the fifth month, I slipped and lost a formed boy.Four or five years later, she finally gave birth to a son safely, who would have died of a small wind and cold when she was two or three years old.

Since then, Mrs. Jiang picked two beautiful rooms for the old man in one go, but it was like fate. Only one got pregnant and gave birth to a daughter. Died.

The fourth girl is called Jiang Jinshu, and she is the daughter of the Jia family.

Jiang Jinshu's fate was not good. When she was three months in her mother's womb, her grandfather died of illness.Just after he was born, his father's old illness relapsed again.The old lady was already old, lost her husband and son one after another, fell ill, and the second room turned on the fire next to her, saying that Jiang Jinshu's destiny was evil, and her destiny was hard to restrain her relatives.When the old lady got angry, she drove Jia's mother and daughter to a remote small courtyard in the north. As for Jiang Jinshu, she originally planned to give up and become a monk in the temple, but Jia's meek person suddenly changed her temper and threatened her with death. The wife still had some concerns about Jia Shi, so she had to let it go, but Jiang Jinshu was not allowed to leave the gate of the north courtyard.

The original owner has grown up to such a big age that he actually lives in this square inch of land, and he has never even seen his own grandma.

A person came in outside the door, sixteen or seventeen years old, fair and fresh, it was Jiang Jinshu's personal servant girl, named Liu Ye'er.Liu Ye'er's grandmother was Jia's nanny, and the people who came as dowry back then walked away and scattered, leaving only the nanny's room.

Seeing her eyes open, Liu Ye'er was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted, "Cao Zhu'er, fetch water quickly, the girl is awake." After speaking, she walked quickly to the bed, and raised her hand to try Jiang Jinshu's hand. She sighed, and the smile on her face became wider: "The fever is gone! Two days ago, the girl had a high fever, and she didn't drink water or rice. She scared me to death."

Jiang Jinshu recognized the reality and quickly adapted to her new identity.

"Liu Ye'er, I'm a little hungry." Jiang Jinshu only felt that her stomach was empty and her stomach was rumbling, and the feeling was really uncomfortable.

"How can I not be hungry, I haven't had a good meal for two or three days. The girl is waiting, I will ask my mother to cook a bowl of rice porridge. The girl is just sick and can't eat greasy food. Let's eat some porridge first and make it tomorrow. "Liu Ye'er said with a sad expression, afraid that she would be sad, so she hurriedly laughed and walked away.

tomorrow……

Jiang Jinshu couldn't help but want to sigh, tomorrow is the day when the original owner gets married.

The ancients were superstitious, marriage must be in harmony with the horoscope, and if the horoscope is not good, marriage will be difficult.The original owner had a reputation of being hard-working and restraining relatives since she was a child, and no family wanted to marry such a daughter-in-law. Even Jia Shi, who died of illness eight years ago, thought that this daughter would die alone, so she specially donated a large sum of money to the nunnery outside the city. If the Jiang family can't accommodate her in the future, she will go to the nunnery to lead her to practice.

Unexpectedly, she was about to get married when she was 15 years old.

The man's family name is Gu, and his family is in Chunshan Town under the administration of Qingshui County. Compared with the second master of Jiang's family who is the magistrate of this county and claims to be an official family, Gu's family is just a well-off farming and studying family.The two families were at odds with each other, but because the old man of the Jiang family was saved by the old man of the Gu family when he was young, a martial artist and a scholar talked speculatively, and even married them for the children of the two families.Mrs. Jiang has two sons and one daughter, Mrs. Gu has three sons and two daughters, by accident, they never get married. Although Mrs. Gu passed away long ago, Mrs. Jiang always keeps the marriage in mind.

It was the turn of the grandchildren of the two families to discuss marriage. The grandchildren in the second room of the Jiang family were of the right age for the granddaughter of the Gu family, but except for the old man, no one from the old lady to the second room agreed.The second master Jiang Song said that his son will definitely study and become an official in the future, and the daughter of the Gu family was born in the countryside, how can he afford the scene?Don't let yourself be laughed at.

Although Mr. Jiang was annoyed, the twisted melon was not sweet.Furthermore, the eldest son, Jiang Huai, is gone, and the second son, Jiang Song, is the only son. The eldest son and grandson of this house are going to be the head of the family. Naturally, the married daughter-in-law cannot be sloppy. The Gu family... is indeed not suitable.

After thinking about it, the old man decided to marry his granddaughter to the Gu family in another way!

A concubine sister above Jiang Jinshu, a direct sister, married many years earlier, she was the only one of the right age, but Mr. Jiang did not choose her as the candidate, after all, she was still in the mother's womb when the old man was alive.The old man chose Jiang Yuyan, the third girl from the second room!There are two sons and one daughter in the second room. This daughter is one year older than Jiang Jinshu, but her situation is very different.Jiang's family already had a certain family background, and the second aunt Zhou's family was a big merchant in the prefectural city. Jiang Yuyan, who was pampered, was naturally high-spirited, and the idlers in the county would look down on her, so why would she marry into a poor village to suffer!What's more, the person married to the Jiang family is the third son of the Gu family, a fool whose parents died early!

Although he was full of resentment, the old man confessed this matter before he died. Mrs. Jiang and her husband and wife had a very deep relationship, even if she felt sorry for her granddaughter, she would not let the old man go unsafely.

As for why Jiang Jinshu is getting married now, it's easy to say.

The second room has always resisted this marriage, in addition to caring for her daughter, it also has more interests in mind.The second master Jiang Song's post of county magistrate was obtained by donating an official, and he hadn't moved it for more than ten years. Now there is a chance to catch up with the county magistrate, and it will definitely be beneficial to plan.

The county magistrate of Qingshui County is surnamed Wang, and he was able to come here to take up the post at the beginning because of the strength of his family.The Wang family is a big family in Jinling. There is a cousin in the family who is an official in Beijing.

Jiang Song had always wanted to follow the lead of County Magistrate Wang, but money and women were useless, so how did he know that his daughter went out to offer incense, and the son of County Magistrate Wang fell in love with him and wanted to marry her.What a blessing!When County Magistrate Wang asked to probe, Jiang Song responded immediately. As for the marriage with the Gu family, he had already made up his mind.

The couple of the eldest family is gone, and the two daughters are married far away, leaving only the youngest, and the second wife does not want to support her for a lifetime.Therefore, Erfangqi went to the battle to talk through Mrs. Jiang, and replaced Jiang Yuyan with Jiang Jinshu, and immediately exchanged Geng Tie with Gu's family to set a date.

The Gu family has a large population, and the old lady Gu is the daughter of a scholar, she can read and write, she is also shrewd, and it is related to the lifelong affairs of her grandson, so how can she not be meticulous.Mrs. Gu inquired about Jiang Jinshu's affairs very clearly. She didn't want to go to the Jiang family at first, but she changed her mind because of her marriage.

Although Mrs. Gu believed in fate, the old man of the Jiang family was nearly seventy years old and had been ill for two or three years. Even without Jiang Jinshu, the old man would still have died of illness.As for the great master of the Jiang family, which of the people who often fight in the battlefield is not covered in injuries?It's hard to say when a sickness will hook up an old disease.Furthermore, I'm afraid that the elder of the Jiang family was looking forward to having a son, but who knew it was a daughter, one of them could not bear the pain, so he passed away.What Mrs. Gu values ​​more is another point. Jiang Jinshu has never been out of the house since she was a child. She is simple-minded and has a reputation for being tough and overbearing. She must be grateful for marrying her.Although the situation of her grandson is not as serious as rumored by outsiders, but no one is taking care of him wholeheartedly, so he suffers in the end.Mrs. Gu is getting old, and the other children are doing well, but the third son is the only one left behind, so don't worry if it is not settled properly.

Even though they had their own plans, the Jiang family was not ambiguous when asking for the dowry, and the dowry alone required 1000 taels of silver.

At that time, the matchmakers who said they would marry each other were taken aback. How could they have such a high dowry when they married a daughter-in-law in this small county?The matchmaker had heard that the old man of the Jiang family gave a dowry of [-] yuan when he got married, but the one who married in was a noble daughter of a state, so the dowry was unknown. The Gu family was a farming and studying family, so it couldn't compare.Look at the second wife marrying a daughter-in-law. At that time, the Jiang family was in its heyday, and how much was the dowry?

The Jiang family naturally knew that the asking price was high, so after some mediation by the matchmaker, the final offer was set at 200 taels.

The county is small, and the wedding expenses are not as good as those in the prefecture, not to mention Chunshan Town, where ordinary people's betrothal money can exceed 50, which is extremely admirable.Mrs. Gu has more than one grandson, and there are three more in front of her. When she gets married, the dowry is always 100 taels, excluding extra jewelry, and the sum of all kinds of dowry is within 200 taels.Now the bride price alone for marrying Jiang's daughter is as high as [-] taels, so how can the other two households of the Gu family have no idea?

Mrs. Gu is also helpless, the little grandson is different from others.

Unavoidable that the house was restless, Mrs. Gu did not touch the public bank, used the property left by the three-bedroom couple, and sold some of her private house herself.

Jiang Jinshu didn't know these things about the Gu family, so after washing her face, she ate a bowl of porridge by the bed, it was very sweet.This rice is just ordinary rice, but after boiling for a long time, the rice grains are rotten and melt in the mouth, full of rice fragrance.Seemingly the most simple and plain meal, but it takes a lot of time and effort, and it is definitely not made in a while.Thinking of the fact that the original body had been ill for a few days, Xu Shi had always prepared these meals on the stove.

The Jiang family was afraid that she would avoid the marriage by taking advantage of illness, and also afraid that she would have long nights and dreams, so they didn't care about the original sickness and groggy, and the date of marriage did not change at all.

She was already ill and had just recovered a bit, but today was the day to add makeup.The Jiang family is also a well-known family in Qingshui County. Because of the second-bedroom master's status as the county magistrate, there are many guests. After putting on makeup, they go to congratulate the second-bedroom mother and daughter, and if they are kind, they talk to Jiang Jinshu.Jiang Jinshu knew that her status in Jiang's family was embarrassing, and because of her personality, she was not annoyed, but she was exhausted.

No matter what kind of illness is most afraid of recurrence, she has a fever again, which really frightens the people around her.

Jiang Jinshu couldn't help sighing secretly, didn't the original owner die just like that?

After eating, she finally regained her energy, and Jiang Jinshu remembered something important.

Before she could think of an excuse to transfer Liu Ye'er and the others away, another person came.

The person who came was a 40-year-old refreshing woman, and Jiang Jinshu recognized it. She was Liu Ye'er's mother and Jia's nanny.Jia's nanny disappeared in the early years, only this daughter, who later married Xu Shan of the same family, was called Aunt Xu.Apart from Liu Ye'er, Aunt Xu also has a son, who was said to be released by the master's kindness, but in fact, secretly took care of the farmland Jia's dowry.

Once the great master Jiang Huai died, Jia's family lost all support, and her mother's family in the capital also cut off contact. Jiang's family gradually became unscrupulous and tried to get things from her in different ways.Their widows, mothers and daughters have to rely on the second wife, and Mrs. Jiang's filial piety pressures her, and Jia's dare not refuse.Although Mrs. Jia was a concubine at the beginning, her dowry was not thin, but it is not a long-term plan if things go on like this. For this reason, Mrs. Jia took great pains and went round and round to hide fifty acres of land. Take Jiang Jinshu away when she gets married.As for the sister-in-law above Jiang Jinshu, she was 15 years older than Jiang Jinshu, she got married as soon as her father finished her filial piety, and has never returned to her natal family since then, and it is said that her life is not very comfortable.Fortunately, Mrs. Jia devoted herself to planning for her daughter, and accompanied her with a lot of private possessions.

"Aunt Xu is here." The original body respected and was quite attached to her, so Jiang Jinshu naturally couldn't wait.

"Miss, don't move. The girl is just fine and needs to be taken care of." Cao Zhu'er moved a round stool and placed it beside the bed. Aunt Xu sat down, looked at her complexion first, and then said: "Tomorrow, the girl will leave the pavilion. , I have something to tell the girl."

"Ms. Xu, please tell me." Although Jiang Jinshu's soul was an outsider, when she learned that she was getting married tomorrow, the person she was marrying was a fool, so she didn't resist the marriage at all.Idiots have the advantages of being idiots, and she would be depressed if she really wanted to marry someone from an outstanding family.

Aunt Xu said: "The girl has read the dowry list. It is really not very good-looking. The Jiang family is so bullying... Forget it, it is always on the bright side, and the wife has prepared another one for the girl. When we arrive at the Gu family, Let's find a way to 'buy' those lands under the girl's name, and only say that it is with private money, and the Gu family doesn't know the amount of silver in the girl's box." After a pause, he said: "Just now the old lady asked me to go. , what the old lady means is that all of us in the north courtyard will follow the girl."

Jiang Jinshu immediately made a calculation in her mind, Mrs. Xu's family is six, except for one Caozhuer.Cao Zhu'er is only twelve this year, and she was an abandoned baby picked up by Mrs. Jia when she offered incense in the temple.

Over the years, Erfang used various methods to get rid of Jia's dowry and belongings, only Aunt Xu's family was left as errands in the north courtyard, and now that she was going to get married, the Jiang family simply swept them all out.Of course, the only people in the north courtyard were Aunt Xu and Liu Ye'er Cao Zhu'er, and Xu Qing's family of three were the ones to be released.Even so, the second room felt that Jiang Jinshu used too many people, especially the second room's second son, Jiang Qi, took a fancy to Liu Ye'er and wanted to take over the house. The original owner and Liu Ye'er disagreed, and the second room only had to grab it. Now Liu Ye'er I dare not leave the North Courtyard at all.

"It's not close to Chunshan Town from the county seat. We have to leave before dawn tomorrow, and the girl should rest early." Aunt Xu explained a few more words, then got up and left.

Liu Ye'er and Cao Zhu'er put away all the remaining things in the room and packed them up. For the two of them, it was a happy event to be able to leave the Jiang family.
