The maid of the red house

Although Yingchun is not Jia's mother's darling, she is also her granddaughter. At first she was very dissatisfied with the Sun family, but she thought that Jia Amnesty was Yingchun's father, and because the children's affairs were God's will, she was afraid that she would hinder Jia. She didn't listen, but Fang didn't take it into account. Now that she knew Sun Shaozu's character from the news sent by Daiyu, Jia's mother didn't want to get married, but she hastily promised Yingchun to Sun's family, and said that she had no choice but to get married this year. Seeing that Jia Amnesty came to report that Sun Shaozu had broken something.

Mother Jia reprimanded calmly: "Why are you panicking? It has nothing to do with our family anyway."

Jia Amnesty said anxiously: "Why is it irrelevant? The second girl has already betrothed to the Sun's family, so is she going to marry into a prison?"

Jia's mother said coldly: "If I had known this, what was the reason for you to let the second girl out in such a hurry at first? No matter how bad the second girl is, she is also your daughter. You don't think about her at all, and you are going to cheat her." .”

A trace of panic flashed across Jia She's face, and then he said straightly: "Why doesn't my son think about her? The Sun family is rich, and only Sun Shaozu is in the capital. The second girl can be the master of the house after marrying, isn't it better than being at home?" powerful?"

Jia Mu glanced at him, and she was powerless to care about this son, so she said, "I don't care about your high-sounding words. You know the reason in your heart, but it's just for your face. Just don't say it. Right now, I only feel sorry for the second girl. Although you have promised her to the Sun family, you haven't finished the six rituals, so you can't be considered a member of the Sun family. Just look at the case of the Sun family. If it fails, there must be an explanation, we can't send the girl to suffer for nothing."

Jia She immediately thought of this, his eyes lit up, he made up his mind, and hastily left.

Looking at his back, Mother Jia sighed deeply, with a tired look on her face.

Yuanyang has always hated Jia Amnesty, so she came over with a tea bowl to moisten Jiamu's mouth, and advised, "Don't be sad, old lady. The second girl is not married yet, and the ceremony is not finished yet. If Sun Shaozu punishes the crime, we will have a change." room."

Jia Mu took a sip of tea, then put the tea bowl on the tray in Li Yuanyang's hands, and said, "Even if Sun Shaozu is dead, the second girl's reputation will be bad, and it's even harder to talk about a good family."

Yuanyang said: "Miss Lin knows a lot of people and has good friendships. If it really comes to such a point, I have to ask Miss Lin to worry about it. The family that Miss Lin has a relationship with is clean and honest. I think I can choose a good family for the second girl."

Jia Mu nodded and said, "That's right, even if the family has no money or power, it's just a dowry for the second girl."

Yuanyang sighed slightly in her heart, and did not dare to tell Jiamu's house that Jia Lian came to ask her to steal Jiamu's things and pawn them to live. She knew that Jiamu knew it in her heart, but she just pretended not to let herself go.She often thought, if there was no family property left by Mrs. Lin, the mansion would have been empty a few years ago, where would there be today's fine clothes and fine food.

For the past two years, she watched coldly. Among these girls, only Daiyu was sincere for the sisters. In the past, she couldn't keep herself from talking too much, but now she is out of the court to help the sisters, which shows her sincerity.Even if she doesn't care about Yingchun's life and death, others can't find anything wrong, but she is willing to help and send someone to inquire about the origin of the Sun family and Sun Shaozu's temperament, and then come to inform Jia Mu, For Yingchun, even her own parents, grandparents, sisters, and brothers are not as good as her.

Yuanyang felt that Yingchun's marriage would not work out. Even though she was a girl from the Hou family, after all, she had negotiated a marriage, and the future marriage might not go well, but even if it was not good, with Daiyu watching and helping her, it would be better than this Sun Shaozu in front of her. Ten times stronger.

Early the next morning, when Yingchun came to pay her respects, Yuanyang pulled her skirt and quietly went to another place to tell her about it.

Since Daiyu is dedicated to welcoming the spring, she must let her know the benefits of Daiyu.

For this marriage, Yingchun originally had a bit of longing in her heart, but she didn't know that Sun Shaozu was such a person with a bleak future, so she couldn't help but shed a few tears, choked up and said: "It's all my fate, why bother Sister Lin? "

Yuanyang persuaded: "Miss Lin is trying to find ways for the girl, but the girl should cheer up."

Yingchun was originally a cowardly person. Hearing Yuanyang's words, she wept and said, "I can only resign myself to fate, otherwise what can I do? Although Sister Lin has a good heart, but this matter is decided by the master, how can she easily withdraw? "

When Yuanyang heard the words, she had nothing to say to her, mourning her misfortune, but also angry at her indisputableness, even though she made a fierce oath not to be Jia Amnesty's concubine, she did the opposite.Among these girls, there is no such girl as Yingchun. Although she is not as shrewd and capable as Tanchun, she is also proficient in chess, and she should have a lot of hills and valleys in her chest.No wonder the nanny didn't dare to say anything when she took the golden phoenix.

After seeing Yingchun off, Yuanyang told Jia Mu, who sighed: "The second girl won't make a sound after the needle is pricked, and it's useless for anyone to say."

With that said, Mother Jia rubbed her forehead, ordered someone to call Sister Feng, and said, "Have you never inquired about your sister's marriage?"

Sister Feng was raising a baby at home recently, and she didn't care about her business. After hearing Jia's mother's reproach, she hurriedly said: "The master has already ordered someone to pay respects immediately. He also said that this year's house will be closed. It will only be three months before the new year, and the furniture will not be opened. Well, the clothes are not ready, the dowry is not moving, and the master doesn't care, how can we intervene?"

Mother Jia knew that they could not be blamed, but she couldn't help but feel very sad when she thought of the situation in her house.

Sister Feng rolled her eyes and asked, "Could it be that there is something wrong with the Sun family? If it's not good, it's important to plan ahead. Even if the second sister is not good, she's not as good a match as the Sun family."

Jia Mu used to believe that Sister Feng passed other people, so she called Sister Feng, but she didn't call anyone else. She winked at Yuanyang, and Yuanyang hurriedly told Sister Feng that Daiyu had sent her. Daiyu only sent the Sun family and Sun Shaozu's personality. When dealing with affairs, it did not mention that Sun Shaozu was convicted because Zhou Hong had to draw his salary from the bottom of the pot. After all, it is not good for these things to spread.

Sister Feng couldn't finish listening, she was dumbfounded, and said for a long time: "Sun Shaozu has been convicted, so I think he can't come out. Anyway, our ceremony is not over yet, and it is also necessary to retire, but I don't know how the master will do it."

Mother Jia sneered and said, "Don't worry, I'm afraid your master has already thought about how to withdraw the marriage."

Sister Feng thought that something happened to Sun Shaozu before the betrothal gift from the Sun family was delivered. Without the betrothal gift, how could Jia Amnesty be reconciled? Deputy dowry.

Going back and telling Jia Lian, Jia Lian sighed and said, "Master is telling me to find a way to settle this matter."

Sister Feng said: "I really don't know what to say. My master sold the girl, but our sorry Miss Lin is bothering the second sister. If it weren't for Sister Lin, wouldn't the second sister have jumped into the fire pit right now? "

Jia Lian was startled, and then said: "Among these sisters, only sister Lin has a heart, but it's a pity we still do such a thing."

Sister Feng was also very sorry, and said: "I think if Sister Lin married into our family back then, not to mention that the dowry was rich enough for the family to be rich and rich. After another ten or eight years, even in terms of character, Sister Lin would not be able to pick anything wrong. Come on. I don’t know if my wife has regretted it now, Xue’s family is rich in millions, now that Big Brother Xue is getting married, can we all give Big Sister Xue a dowry?”

Jia Lian laughed and said, "What are you talking about? It's too late to regret anyway. Take a rest, you'll be busy tomorrow!"

After hearing this, Sister Feng closed her eyes and slept peacefully, without saying a word all night.

Sister Feng ignored everything, but Jia Lian was so busy walking around without touching the ground.

Jia She was originally a very stupid and incompetent person. A few days later, he heard that Sun Shaozu had been convicted. He was exiled for three thousand miles and his family was confiscated.It turned out that the Sun family relied on their power to do a lot of things that angered the heavens and the people. Sun Shaozu still had his life, so he was sentenced to a heavy sentence.

After Jia Amnesty found out, he immediately sent someone to Sun's house to say that he had not finished the six ceremonies, so he regretted retiring, and urged his subordinates to wait for a quick decision. The matter of the taels of silver was also covered up.The Sun family had already fallen, fearing the power of the Ningrong government, they did not dare to come to ask for justice, so they had to swallow their anger and withdraw their marriage.

Jia Lian stumbled and sighed deeply. He already had a way to let the Sun family withdraw their marriage on their own, but Jia Amnesty retired first. As a result, it would be difficult for Yingchun to be a good family.

Although others felt that Jia She was too heartless and ungrateful when he fell into trouble, but when he put himself in his shoes, he would not marry his daughter to an exile, let alone Jia She, so after hearing about it, he laughed and said a few words, and then put aside his dissatisfaction. mentioned.

Mother Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered someone to bring Daiyu over to discuss Yingchun's marriage with her.

At that time, it was already September, and Daiyu heard that the Sun family's affairs had been decided. She went to Prince Zhongshun's mansion early in the morning to attend the chrysanthemum feast hosted by Yanran. Tomorrow, I will go to the mansion to greet Shi Taijun."

The person who went agreed and told Jia Mu that Jia Mu had to wait for the time being.

But Daiyu came home at night and went back to Mrs. Zhou. When she learned about this from Mrs. Zhou, she couldn't help but sigh.However, the more she interacted with others, the more she experienced things in the world, the more she understood that the reputation of the Rongguo Mansion was terrible. Even if she knew the benefits of the sisters, she would not believe them outside, not to mention Yingchun's temperament was hard to change. It may not be a good time to help her.

Zhou Hong frowned and said: "You can't agree to this matter. If it's a good life, it's fine. If it's a bad life, don't you blame me?"

Daiyu knew that he was worried that she would be criticized for the good or bad days of welcoming the Spring Festival in the future, and sighed: "How can I not know this truth? Don't say that I don't have the reason to do Baoshan for my sister when I am young, even if I do, I don't have the ability to do it." Before, I couldn't bear the second sister to fall into the fire pit, but now I have done my best, and it is the best policy to let the second sister's affairs be decided by the grandmother."

Zhou Hong nodded and said: "That's very good. However, you still have to do Baoshan, but it's not your second sister, but Xueyan."

Daiyu was surprised when she heard the words, "What? Someone proposed marriage to my Xueyan again?"

Zhou Hongnahan said: "Could it be that someone mentioned it to you?"

Daiyu laughed and said: "It's natural. There are hundreds of women begging in a family. Although Xueyan is a girl, no one knows her benefits. Not only have people come to beg me, but also my wife. It's just that we all want Xueyan to ask for it." He's out of citizenship, so he didn't agree. A few years ago, the housekeeper of my cousin's house begged my cousin and me for his nephew, but we didn't answer."

Zhou Hongdao: "It's strange that Mr. Zhao came to beg me early, presumably he also knew that someone came to beg for marriage."

After hearing this, Daiyu hurriedly asked, "You said Mr. Zhao?"

Zhou Hong nodded, and then told her one by one what Zhao Yun entrusted.

Daiyu raised her eyebrows and said: "Listen to what you said, is my Xueyan not worthy of Mr. Zhao? Xueyan is no worse than Mr. Zhao. I also know the outside world now. I would rather marry a maidservant than a young lady." The daughter of the family, maybe it is because she wants to be attached to the Gongmenhou's mansion, so as not to be slaughtered by others, and there are people above her, so she does things very cheaply, which is of great benefit to future generations. Besides, Xueyan has a dowry, Lai's family is a servant of the grandmother's mansion, and Lai Shangrong is already a She also has an elder brother who works in the palace and is the sister of Aunt Nanhua, such a girl is better than Xiaojia Biyu, if I let the word out, I don’t know how many people better than the Zhao family will come to propose marriage."

Zhou Hong smiled and said: "Although there are many people, none of them can compare with Zhao Yunzhi's personality. I feel that the two are very suitable for each other, so I have some probing words. I heard Zhao Yun's answer, not sweet words, but more sincere. That's why we made a deal for him."

Daiyu heard this, and said: "That's quite reasonable. Mr. Zhao knows the basics, which is better than outsiders who don't. Since Mr. Zhao is willing to come here to beg you, it seems that he is interested in Xueyan in his heart, so he went to inquire about it."

As she said that, she sighed slightly, frowned and said: "Xue Yan is good, I understand in my heart, I hope she will have a good result. Those who came to propose marriage before, or the stewards in the mansion asked for their sons to marry, or the outsiders Although there are only three or five families, it can be seen that the benefits of Xueyan are well known. However, the son of the steward is still a servant, and he is not very literate. Xueyan has already left his nationality and is very unworthy. The power of our family and Xueyan has such a sister, so I didn't agree."

Zhou Hongdao: "It is indeed time to think about it."

Daiyu frowned, and said with a smile: "As for the Mr. Zhao you mentioned, as you said, he is better than others. Xueyan was able to be the master of the house in the past, but he was at odds with his family before, and he was afraid of trouble, so he had to live well. Inquire and inquire."

Early the next morning, Daiyu really sent someone to inquire about the Zhao family. Although she and Yingchun were uncles and sisters, Xueyan had been with her for many years and devoted herself to her. After leaving, Fang redressed and told Mrs. Zhou to take a car to Rongguo Mansion.

Sister Feng heard that Daiyu was coming, so she came out early to meet her.

Seeing this, Daiyu hurriedly said: "You are heavy, what are you doing here? Usually no one welcomes me, so I also visited my grandmother."

Sister Feng laughed and said, "How can I be so delicate? If you take two steps, you will lose your tire gas? Besides, who will come to welcome you except me? Come in with me seriously, the old lady is waiting for you!"

Then, he went in with Daiyu on his arm, and told her what Jia Mu wanted in a low voice, and said softly: "As for the second sister's temperament, the mud can't support the wall, so don't agree, she can't hold people down, live a good life." Fortunately, it’s your kindness, it’s actually a grudge if you don’t live well.”

Daiyu heard the words and said: "After going through such a thing, the second sister is still so temperamental?"

Sister Feng said: "No, it's still the same. Otherwise, how could I tell you that? I really don't know what to say about her. I just accept my fate, but my temperament doesn't change. It's like dough, and I can't make a sound when a needle pricks it." Come on, except for marrying into a well-behaved and honest-hearted family, she can't live well in other families, let alone a good family, who would be willing to beg her?"

Daiyu sighed, and said: "Second sister should also change, if things go on like this, what can I do?"

Sister Feng shook her head and said, "It's been like this for 18 years, I'm afraid it will be hard to change."

While talking, the two had already arrived at Jia Mu's room. Li Wan was in the room with Xiangyun, Tanchun and Baoqin. The rest, Baochai, had moved back to his home. If you don't come out, it will be more lively than before.

Daiyu hurriedly went up to greet Jia Mu.

Seeing Daiyu, Mother Jia showed a smile on her face, beckoned her to sit in front of her, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time."

Daiyu smiled and said, "How is grandma?"

Jia Mu sighed, and said, "Is it good or not? It's just that you can eat two bites, and you can be stubborn."

Looking at Jiamu's gray-haired appearance, Daiyu thought that Rongguo's mansion must end badly, and she felt sore suddenly. She didn't know what to do for the old man at that time, so she could only comfort her and said, "With the sisters by my side The grandmother is good, the grandmother just takes care of it, and the grandmother has to wait for the second brother to get married and take care of the second brother's precious son."

When Baoyu was mentioned, Jia Mu laughed and asked Yuanyang, "How is Baoyu today?"

Yuanyang came over and said: "I have sent someone to ask, and I am in good spirits today."

When Jia Mu heard this, Daiyu was surprised and said, "Is the second elder brother ill? Why didn't anyone say anything?"

Mother Jia sighed: "The second wife of the former son's mansion sent many little girls out. You also know your second brother's temperament. He is the one who can't bear to part. I heard that Qingwen died, and Fangguan Ouguan Ruiguan went to become a monk." , the whole garden was neglected, so it became a disease, and he is being raised, and he is not allowed to eat meat for a hundred days."

Daiyu also heard that the Rongguo Mansion raided the Grand View Garden. Mother Jia didn't want to say more, and she didn't want to ask.

After Zijuan left, Jia Mu ordered Li Wan to take the sisters to play in the garden.

Li Wan took a look at Daiyu and knew that Mother Jia had a secret discussion with Daiyu. Hearing this, he left and left only Sister Feng.

Daiyu sighed, and she heard Jiamu say: "You know about the second girl. Sun Shaozu was sentenced to exile, and the Sun family copied it. Your uncle has already retired the marriage. After all, the six ceremonies have not been completed before. Now you The second sister has been crying all day long, so I have no choice but to entrust you to find another marriage for her."

After hearing this, Sister Feng quickly glanced at Daiyu, her face full of worry.

Daiyu recalled what she said to Zhou Hong yesterday, and also what Sister Feng said today, and said, "Grandma Rong, the matter of the Sun family has just passed, and the second sister is in the limelight. It's better to wait until next year."

Mother Jia sighed, and said, "Your uncle's temperament, how dare I wait? Now there is a grandson's family, who knows if there will be a second grandson's family in the future? I don't go out very often, so I don't know which one. There is a suitable candidate, and you often make good friends with people, so it took a lot of effort to choose a good one for your second sister, regardless of family background, you just have to be good-looking and good-looking."

Daiyu smiled faintly, and said, "Grandmother, don't embarrass me. I am young and have never experienced this. How can I choose a good one for my second sister? Besides, I am a younger sister, and I have no reason to make decisions for my elder sister. "

Sister Feng hurriedly said: "That's right, old ancestor, it's not easy for Sister Lin, if people know that Sister Lin helped Second Sister earlier, but now she intervenes in Second Sister's marriage, how will the outside world see Sister Lin? Our ancestors are the most experienced and knowledgeable, and our family has many relatives and friends, so why can't we choose a suitable family for our second younger sister?"

Daiyu bowed her head and remained silent.

When Jia Mu heard this, she couldn't help saying: "Look at me, I'm so old. It's not easy for the second girl. Is it easy for Yu'er?"

He hurriedly said to Daiyu: "My good boy, I didn't think carefully and I wronged you."

Daiyu said: "Grandmother is also wholeheartedly for the second sister, and I have not suffered any grievances. It's just that what the second sister-in-law said is that my grandmother has met more people than me, and the relatives and friends in the family know everything. There are always a few families that are worthy of the second sister. "

Jia Mu said: "I have no choice but to choose a marriage among my relatives and friends. Feng girl, I will leave this matter to you."

Sister Feng complained secretly, but as the elder sister-in-law, she couldn't stand on the sidelines, so she had to agree.

After talking with Jia's mother for a while, Daiyu went to see her aunt. Sister Feng made an excuse to accompany her, and came back from Mrs. Xing Wang's visit. Sister Feng said, "good sister, give me some advice."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Second sister's marriage is not justified by what I said. Grandmother has already said that it doesn't matter whether you are born or born, as long as you have a good character and appearance, you may not be unsatisfactory if you choose from these. Second sister's temperament , you can only choose a family with a simple population, honest temperament and little power."

Sister Feng sighed: "Second sister doesn't have much dowry either, and it's decided to return it in person once again, so it has to be like this now."

Daiyu went to see Li Wan and her sisters, only to find out that she had checked the details of the Grand View Garden that day. She heard that Baochai had moved away suddenly, but she didn't inform Xiangyun. Xiangyun now lives in Daoxiang Village. With red eyes, he said he missed himself.

Daiyu said: "I heard that Mr. Xue's family is getting married, so I want to come to Sister Bao's home to help. It's just that Sister Bao has moved out, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to see her in the future."

Li Wan said with a smile: "What's wrong with seeing her? Her family lives behind the wife's yard in the southeast corner of the garden, and it's cheap to come and go."

Daiyu wondered: "Could it be that Xue's family got married in the mansion?" It's not that Xue's family doesn't have a house in the capital. It is just like Baoqin came here with her brother, but Xue Pan got married and still lived in Rongguo Mansion, which is too unimaginable.

Everyone just laughed and couldn't explain it.

When Daiyu saw this, she kept her mouth shut. When she was young, Li Wan sent someone to invite Baochai. When the sisters met, they didn't mention it.

After a lunch at Rongguo Mansion, the sisters thought about the matter of welcoming the Spring Festival, and thought about their own lives, so they didn’t have the energy to talk and laugh. Seeing that there was nothing interesting here, Daiyu also collected her thoughts, said goodbye and went home, and went home that night. Nothing to remember.

The next day when Zhou Hong entered the palace, Daiyu hurriedly asked someone to invite Xueyan to come over. She could no longer interfere with the Spring Festival, but she could not ignore Xueyan.

Zijuan and the others knew about this, they looked at Xueyan and smiled without saying a word.

Xueyan has been practicing calligraphy at home these days, except for Daiyu and Lai's house, she doesn't go out anymore, and doesn't care about the turmoil outside. She heard that Daiyu came to invite her, thinking that something happened to Yingchun's marriage, and she came here during the period Daiyu here, knowing that Daiyu is planning for the Spring Festival, never thought that she would not hear about it as soon as she entered the door, but heard Daiyu talk about Zhao Yun's marriage proposal.

After hearing this, Xueyan was stunned for a moment, and when she saw the narrow faces of Zijuan and the others, she immediately blushed.

Daiyu took a look at her, took her hand and sat beside her, and said, "I have also compared many people, and I think Mr. Zhao is a good match. He has no parents, has a small family, is straightforward in his actions, and is from a family background. You can't be an official, but you still have your talents and learning, so that you don't have to face other people's sarcastic remarks in the future. It's just that you don't despise the wound on his face."

Xueyan smiled wryly and said, "It's too sudden, the girl asked me if I would like it, but I really can't tell."

She knew about Zhao Yun's affairs. She had also praised Zhao Yun and the current people for their good qualities, but she never thought that he would propose marriage to her. Why?She had heard from Guan Yue that although Zhao Yun's appearance had been ruined, there were still many families better than his previous fiancée's who were willing to betroth their daughters.

Daiyu said: "The important things in life can't be perfunctory, so you have to make a plan. Not only Mr. Zhao, but others have also asked me to ask you, but I thought they were not good, so I didn't agree."

Xueyan wondered, "Why didn't I know?" She had been to Daiyu's place several times, but she had never heard of her.

Daiyu laughed and said, "Telling these things to you will cause you troubles in vain. I know you won't agree, so why should I tell you?"

As he said that, he told Xueyan about the few families who came to ask for help: "The first family is the steward of the mansion. You must be unwilling to beg for his son. You don't need to listen too much. The other family is the farmer outside. The family, won a scholar, the old lady of his family was originally a girl who was released from the mansion, and served the old lady of our family. I don’t know how to find out about you. I thought that such a family just admired our family’s power. I don't know what to do if you become famous in the future. There is another family who is a rich man with a hundred hectares of fertile land. They also want to take shelter under our family and ask you to be their daughter-in-law. I heard that the wife of that family is very mean-tempered, so I didn't agree. .”

Xueyan heard this, and sighed: "It's all too early to get out of nowhere. Last time I went to my godfather's house, they also mentioned this to me."

Having said this, Xueyan smiled wryly.

At her age, it seems that she should only be busy with her life-long affairs, and everything else is left behind.

Daiyu smiled and said: "You are also a sweet potato now, who doesn't want to be the first to act first? Next time I see your godfather and mother, just tell me what I said, your marriage, I have to choose for you personally, absolutely not I have wronged you."

Xueyan knew that she was afraid that the Lai family and others would marry her out at will, so she said this and thanked her very much.

Zijuan made tea and said with a smile: "I think Mr. Zhao is better than others. Xueyan may wish to think about it."

Daiyu wondered, "You feel good too?"

Zijuan thought for a while, and said: "Mr. Zhao was originally a staff member of the uncle's family, so there is no need to be attached to the rich family because of Xueyan; secondly, Mr. Zhao has asked about Xueyan's character and character, and proposed marriage to the uncle. It is more solemn, unlike other families who don't." Knowing Xueyan's temperament, they come here; three, there are no parents in the upper class, and no one tells Xueyan what to do; four, they have already separated, and even if there is trouble in the Zhao family, it is not a good name; let alone who is Xueyan? Just as the girl said Yes, the old master's elder brother, godfather, and mother are all relying on, and the Zhao family can't accept it as a real Buddha after hearing it? Don't say that the family is not right, Xueyan didn't rank up with their family, and Mr. Zhao didn't rank up with Xueyan."

Xue Yan was amused and said, "When did I become a true Buddha?"

Zijuan said sternly: "I'm not lying, it's the truth. I'm afraid the Zhao family thinks they've outdone us! Although we talk about scholars, farmers, businessmen, and three religions, but when it comes to worldly relationships, we slaves from big families are more noble than them." , wait for no one to bully you, otherwise Uncle Lai has already become an official, why are the butler Lai and his wife still serving as slaves in the Rongguo Mansion? Don't they know that being a slave son is not good-looking? No, because they know that they treat Lai like this. Uncle's future is beneficial and harmless."

Daiyu nodded at the side, agreeing: "Zijuan is right, Xueyan don't underestimate herself."

Xueyan smiled and said: "Have I ever underestimated myself? I just feel that such an important matter cannot be settled in a few words. Just as Mr. Zhao asked me first, I also have to ask him first. If it is not good, it must not be done. .”

Daiyu hurriedly said, "I've already sent someone to inquire, you just have to wait to find out."

Xueyan smiled after hearing this.

Zijuan said: "After the new year, Xueyan will be 19 years old. I can't delay. I finally met a suitable family. If it's good to find out, it's better to make a decision early, so that those people will not come to Miss Luo Zhao again, which will cause trouble again. "

Xueyan hurriedly looked at Daiyu, and asked, "Is there someone here to disturb the girl?"

Daiyu shook her head, she said nothing, Xueyan didn't know if there was one or not, she felt a little bored in her heart, even after she left Zhou's house, she still felt the same, so she had to calm down and practice calligraphy in the study.

After practicing calligraphy for half a day, Xueyan gradually calmed down and couldn't help laughing.

What is she bored about here?Daiyu was willing to tell her about this, and asked her what she meant. Her knowledge and character were already above the common people, and she did not let herself marry blindly. After all, talents like Zhao Yun are indeed rare.

Xueyan is shrewd by nature and has insight into the world situation. She only weighs the pros and cons in her heart, as well as whether it is suitable or not.

Compared with Li San, Zhao Yun is indeed more suitable. First of all, he is a Juren, has status, and is also Zhou Hong's aide. Gossip, and Li San couldn't even keep his own fertile land, let alone other things.She knew in her heart that even if Zhao Yun was an official, she would not be like Jiao Xing when she interacted with people outside. Others neglected Jiao Xing not because she was born as a maid, but because she was the second wife.

Secondly, Zhao Yun has a wide range of knowledge, knowing that he can read and write, it can be seen that he quite agrees with this, and he will not restrain himself by the rules of women in this world who are ignorant of talent, and they can speculate in ordinary conversation, and no one will talk about themselves Too extravagant.Although she has said that she yearns for the rural scenery, she knows that she has always been rich and well-clothed, and she is absolutely impatient to discuss with people like Li San how to plant seedlings, how to weed, and how to harvest, or to wear silk, satin, gold beads and hairpins in front of people who only wear common clothes. In the village swagger through the city.

Again, family background, as Zijuan said, Zhao Yun’s family background is clean and famous, but his face is disabled and he can’t be an official, but he has talent, looks, dowry, and backing. The network in the capital is far better than that of Zhao’s family. Only Zhao Yun belongs to Zhou Hong The staff, the only difference is their background, even if they marry into the Zhao family, no one will look down on them, because they are indeed well-matched, and no one has a high opinion of the other.Family background is important, but it also depends on each person's ability. If you have the ability, others will not care about your family background.

In the end, Zhao Yun has no parents, there will be no quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and no one will point fingers at him.

After many years of being cautious, Xueyan has always chosen the one who is most suitable for her. Whether the marriage is happy or not often requires the management of the parties involved. She does not believe that love at first sight can last forever. Li San fell in love because of sex. Will it be the same as always?Xueyan couldn't guarantee it, so right now she was waiting to know how the Zhao family behaved, whether Zhao Yun had other relatives, such as grandparents, uncles, aunts, etc., and what kind of personality and thoughts they had.

She didn't tell anyone about this, and the Lai family didn't know about it. She only told Yu Liansheng.

Comparatively speaking, Julien was born closer to her than to the Lai family.

After listening to it, Yu Liansheng pondered for a moment, and said: "No matter how good others say, we don't know, so we have to inquire in person to find out. Don't worry, I will send someone to inquire. If it is good, we will think about it. Not good, you just pushed Lin Shuren, anyway, I'm a bit of a naughty person right now, and it's not impossible to find a better family for you."

Xueyan said: "Okay, I don't care, Qi Dafei, I didn't want to marry a rich family."

Looking at her face as bright as a pearl and beautiful jade, Yu Liansheng thought of her talent, character, and ability, and sighed: "If it wasn't because of your background, why are you like this? It's a pity."

Xue Yan pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "I don't think there is any pity. Marrying into a rich family means that it will not be a good thing? There are many things to worry about. It's better to be simpler, and there are not so many intrigues."

Knowing what she was thinking, Yu Liansheng agreed, "You're right. In that case, Zhao Yun is more suitable."

Xueyan said: "Okay, we have to talk about it when we have news."

Both Daiyu and Yu Liansheng sent people to inquire about the Zhao family, but Zhao Yun was not at home, but at his grandfather's.

Zhao Yun's grandfather, Han Qingshan, was one of the largest merchants in the town. He had a son and a daughter. The son was named Han Fei, and he had two grandchildren, one Han Rong and one Han Mao. They were both married and had children. The daughter was Zhao Yun. His mother passed away a few years ago, because Han Qingshan always loved his daughter, and after his daughter was gone, he loved Zhao Yun like his own grandson, Han Rong and Han Mao were also like brothers to Zhao Yun, and the whole family was harmonious.

Hearing that Zhao Yun wanted to marry a wife, Han Qingshan was immediately overjoyed, and said: "You have finally turned around." He hurriedly asked who it was.

Zhao Yun carefully told his grandfather and grandmother about Xueyan's identity, origin, character, and temperament. When he saw that his uncle, aunt, and cousins ​​were not at home, he told the matter to the two old people he respected the most, and he did not dare to make too much noise. .

Back then when Zhao Yun was injured, the Zhao family kept things peaceful and refused to publicize it. After Han Qingshan learned about it, he immediately brought his son and three grandsons to the Zhao family. Grandfather and grandmother are the masters, Zhao Yun may not be able to live alone with the Zhao family, so he has always been closer to his grandfather's family than to the Zhao family.

After hearing this, Mother Han said hello first, and said, "This girl is very good, and she is worthy of you."

Han Qingshan also said: "Your grandmother is right, when people like us get married, they are judged by their character and ability, not their background. Although this Miss Wang was born as a girl, when it comes to dowry skills, you are still a little behind Thankfully, you didn't think highly of yourself just because you were a juror. You served as an aide to General Zhou, and our family gained a lot of glory, but can someone be as respectable as your elder brother in the palace? It's important that such a girl asks for marriage and comes back sooner. Don't let others take the lead. Although you can't be an official right now, you two can't teach good children and grandchildren with your good looks and talents? With these backings, your children and grandchildren's official career will be smoother and smoother than ordinary people in the future."

Zhao Yun didn't think about taking advantage of Xueyan's backing. He was just curious that Xueyan was not afraid of his physical disability, and then respected Xueyan as a human being. Then he went to inquire about Xueyan's temperament and character, and then he fell in love with him and proposed marriage to Zhou Hong.

Both grandfather and grandmother said so, so it can be seen that they agree with his proposal to marry Xueyan, but they don't look down on Xueyan. Although what his grandfather and grandmother said is not lacking in utilitarianism, Zhao Yun did not tell them that he never had such an idea. Why, why bother to make a fuss, anyway, he just wanted to ask his grandfather and grandmother to agree to the marriage he proposed.

So Zhao Yundao: "Grandfather and grandmother agreed, please ask grandfather and grandmother to deal with me in front of grandfather."

Mentioning the old in-laws, Han Qingshan patted his legs and said: "Don't worry, such a good girl, your grandfather and you
