Red Mansion is so good I want to cry
Chapter 104
Baochai looked at her father's expression as if he was confessing his last words, and felt very sad.
She has always thought highly of herself, and when she arrived at Zhen's house, she realized that she had found the wrong reference.
Compared with her brother, she is naturally better in everything.But compared with the girls of the Zhen family, she found out how humble she was.
Although she is an imperial merchant, she was born in Ziwei Xue's family.But in terms of status, or in the eyes of everyone in the Zhen family, she is not as respectable as the big girl next to Mrs. Zhen.
She lives in the yard of Mrs. Zhen, and people who don't know it think that Mrs. Zhen likes her so much.
But only she knows how aggrieved and embarrassing the short and damp inverted room is.
The Zhen family owns the noble concubine's natal family, and it is also a family of officials who have been visited by officials several times, so all the servants of the Zhen family look down on her as the daughter of the imperial merchant.
Holding the reward silver from her on the front foot, he laughed at her for being a bitch as soon as he turned his head.
She went to Zhen's girls' school, and as soon as she got a few compliments from the female teacher, someone would tell her that she was a show off.If she was mediocre at the Zhen family's girls' school, someone would say that she was indeed the queen of business...
When she rewarded the servants, she became a briber, and the nouveau riche smashed people with money.If she doesn't reward the servants, she just says she has no rules, and says she is mean and mean.
She followed Miss Zhen's family to say a few words about appreciating antiques and jade wares, and those people said that she deserved to be the empress of Shang, seeing money with her own eyes.
In short, no matter what she does, it is wrong, and the motives of the humble and humble people are impure.
However, in the Zhen family, she did learn a lot, a lot.
At the beginning when the nineteenth prince asked her to go to the Zhen family to learn the rules, she didn't take it seriously, thinking that her rules were already very good.But when she arrived at Zhen's house, she knew what the real rules were.
The girls in the Zhen family were about the same age as her, and their words and deeds made her understand the gap and made her suffer a lot.
At the very beginning, she hated the nineteenth prince who caused her to enter the wolf den of the Zhen family.But as time went by, although I hated him, I also felt a little grateful.
If it wasn't for the tricks of the nineteenth prince, maybe she would have been wrong forever.Maybe it's irreparably wrong and still don't know what I did wrong...
With a long sigh, Baochai pursed her lips and smiled sweetly at her father, "Daddy please tell me, Baochai will live up to my father's trust."
Patriarch Xue has not seen Baochai's flashing expression just now.It's just...he had no other choice.
"I don't know where your second uncle has traveled. As a father, I'm afraid I won't be able to see him for the last time." Thinking of his brother who has been away for more than three years, Patriarch Xue really lost his temper, "After I go, my son doesn't have to go anymore The Zhen family, I will only stay with your mother at home. After the hot filial piety is over, your siblings will take your mother to the foot of Wutai Mountain to live on rent. When your elder brother's five-year term expires, the whole family will go to Beijing."
Baochai felt sad, nodded obediently, and asked his father why he made such an arrangement.
"Jinling is not a good place. The Zhen family has lived here for generations, and has become the local emperor of Jinling. Our Xue family is weak, and we have a lot of money. How can the Zhen family not be moved?" The head of the Xue family put a small box on the side of the bed. He took it and handed it to Baochai, motioning for her to open it, "Since the beginning of last year, my father has started to shrink his property. Because my father has been delaying medical use in recent years, it is inevitable that some managers will feel uneasy.
For the father, he sent them all away, and made a trick, making people think that he had lost a lot of money in doing business for the father, and sold those ostensible properties by the way.Today, our family is in the south, and apart from two houses, there are only five Zhuangzi left.On the other side of the capital, my father also bought some property. In addition to a house on the surface for you to live in Beijing, there is also a house that is placed in your name and will be included in your dowry in the future.There are three or five Zhuangzi in the outskirts of the city. Besides the one for your brother, it is also your dowry Zhuangzi. "
Patriarch Xue has been ill for a long time and cannot be healed, he knows that time is running out.After discovering that the Zhen family and other old relatives were unreliable, she thought about how to protect her son and daughter, and how to arrange for them to live a worry-free life for the rest of their lives.
He didn't want the Huangshang's signboard at all, so he immediately started to deal with Xue's shop calmly.
First, he dispatched a group of loyal and loyal servants to quietly go to the capital in a way of greedy for the property of Lord Mo's family and absconding in fear of crime.
Then a group of stewards and shopkeepers who really thought about it were dismissed, and those shops were sold out on the grounds of chronic illness and lack of energy.
In the end, the Xue family only left four houses in the capital city and Jinling, ten small but not inspiring Zhuangzi.
There are four houses, two in Jinling and two in the capital, and two small houses are under Baochai's name.As for the ten Zhuangzi, Patriarch Xue also made a decision.Six sons and four daughters.
As for the assets at home, all that can be sold are sold, and they are exchanged for bank notes for easy preservation.Those that could not be sold were also allocated to their brothers and sisters.
After distribution, they were packed in boxes and quietly sent to the capital in batches.
Patriarch Xue had only two children, Xue Pan and Xue Baochai, and Xue Pan was a male, so he felt a little heavier in his heart.
As for Baochai, she was good-looking and smart since she was a child, so Patriarch Xue loved and looked forward to her.That year because of the matter of the nineteenth prince, Baochai was sent to the Zhen family, and he suffered for two or three years, which made Patriarch Xue feel more fond of Baochai.
So after knowing that his daughter was extremely intelligent, he happily gave one-third of the Xue family's property to her as a dowry.From Patriarch Xue's point of view, this is the only way her daughter won't have other thoughts.
"...I asked someone to make a booklet from the bank note and the land deed, divided it into three parts, and put them in the box. Of these three books, you keep your own, and your brother's part... also temporarily puts you In my hand. There is also the thinnest copy, which is reserved for your life and future marriage. If your mother wants it, you can give it to your mother to keep. However, I think your mother still doesn't care about these trivial matters, These will be handled by me.”
Hearing her father's arrangement, Baochai was already sobbing, she nodded and only said that her father would be fine.
"My son doesn't have to be so self-deceiving. Life and death are deterministic. It's just that my father left early, and I can't protect you brothers and sisters for a few more years. I have already written to your second uncle, saying that your brother is young and straightforward, and he can't do anything. The throne of the emperor. The name passed down from the ancestors must not be ruined in the hands of your elder brother. Let your second uncle take it, and it is not worthy of the ancestors of the Xue family." Sending such a big favor to the younger brother in vain must be After he left, he could also take care of his children where he could.
Xue Baochai frowned when she heard that her family lost the title of imperial merchant.If she lost her status as an imperial merchant, wouldn't her status be a little lower.
Patriarch Xue seemed to understand his daughter's thoughts, and smiled mischievously, "Your brother is not suitable for business, he can't keep the name Xue's family home. It's better to let him stand in the downtown like a three-year-old child holding gold bricks. I am happy to give up.
I spent 5 taels of silver to donate an official position for my father. Although it is a fifth-rank vain position, it can give my son a birthright.Your brother is not good at studying, but he practiced his strength in Mount Wutai.Dad has already established a relationship. When your brother turns 15 years old, he will take this letter to the Rongguo Mansion to ask Rong Guogong, and he will arrange a seventh-rank ceremony for your brother in the palace. "
"Mr. Rong Guo and our family?" Baochai was very surprised. The Rong Guo Mansion and their family had traveled far away in the past few years. How could they agree to help her brother find an official position, and it was a real job.
Patriarch Xue saw that his daughter was curious, so he just shook his head and chuckled.
The water is deep in the south, and Rong Guogong's daughter and son-in-law are all in the south, and the water can't quench the near thirst. He took the initiative to come forward, crying and begging to show his loyalty, and used all the strength of their Xue family to protect the Lin family. No sweetener?
Fortunately, he took a gamble and wrote a letter the day before yesterday, and Rong Guogong also gave him the correct words.
After saying a few more words about the arrangement he had made before, Patriarch Xue felt a little out of breath again, and then sent his daughter to rest on her own without mentioning it.
In the next few days, Patriarch Xue explained some things one after another.Only then did he hold his breath, waiting for Xue Pan who had rushed back from Mount Wutai to come back.
Finally, two days before New Year's Eve, Xue Pan rushed back day and night. Seeing his son returning safely, Patriarch Xue finally let go of his last obsession, and called the whole family to talk back the next day like a flash of light. After another reunion dinner, I closed my eyes forever with worries about my children.
The Xue family immediately howled, Bai Bu Shuri...
In the Xue family far away in Jinling, there is Bao girl who has been reborn from the ashes.The Lin family in Yangzhou is still living the New Year with a strong literati atmosphere.But in the capital thousands of miles away, Duke Rong Jia Dai Shanhaoxuan was not carried away by the pair of heavenly father and son.
It is said that there is no good banquet at a banquet, and there is no good seat at a banquet.After receiving today's word of mouth yesterday, Jia Daishan knew that he might be entering the palace today to attend a banquet at the Hongmen.But they never imagined that the father and son could be so shameless that they said they wanted to be married right away, omitting all the extras.
Although he had already guessed that there would be such a marriage sooner or later, he did not expect it to come so early.
Jia Daishan looked at Jinjin and Shuiyuan, who had the same smiles on their faces, and suddenly remembered a sentence he said dearly, "The royal family is the most unruly family, and they still have the nerve to control the world with rules."Now Jia Daishan really felt the aggrieved feeling of disdain and inexpressibility.
Jia Daishan knew that this marriage could not be rejected, but Jia Daishan declined a few words in order to raise Jia Xiaoniu's worth, and he firmly disagreed with his granddaughter being a child bride.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for showing love to His Highness the Nineteenth. It's just that, Your Majesty, the granddaughter of the old official is only seven years old. His Highness, the Nineteenth Prince, has reached the age of getting married and starting a business. It's better to choose another noble daughter to match, so as not to delay His Highness."
"No delay, no delay. Make it now and get married in the next year. There will be no delay at all." Shui Yuan seemed not to understand the meaning of Jia Daishan's words, and said such a sentence that made Jia Daishan extremely unhappy.
When Jia Daishan heard what Shui Yuan emphasized again, he became angry on the spot.After several deep breaths, he turned his head and looked at the present, "The Jia family is grateful to His Majesty Long En for being able to marry the royal family. I am really reluctant to marry at the age of seven, and there is no precedent to follow." The most important thing is This is too unconventional.
Hearing Jia Daishan's reluctance, Shui Yuan blinked his eyes in confusion, "We're married, my wife is still your granddaughter, why are you reluctant?"
Jia Xiaoniu: Yu is not your wife.
What a beast~
Ever since she followed Jia Daishan to the palace early in the morning, Jia Xiaoniu felt that something was wrong.After entering the main hall, Jia Xiaoniu was completely dumbfounded after listening to the words of the Qinshou father and son.
I treat you as an uncle, but you actually want to eat the fish?Has my uncle been called a beast for so many years?
Thinking of the 'Daddy' she called to the source of water, Jia Xiaoniu somehow thought of a very famous word in later generations-dad. Suddenly, a chill came over her.
Jia Xiaoniu was angry, and wanted to express her feelings that her uncle could bear it, but her aunt could not.But after thinking about it, her uncle and aunt probably won't stand on the same line with her.
Although willful, Jia Xiaoniu, who also knows the characteristics of the times, did not explode on the spot when facing the bandit father and son in front of her.
Here Jia Daishan stared at the source of water with wide eyes, he felt that there was a lot of reluctance. "Since your Highness said so, what difference does it make if you get married sooner or later? Anyway, the granddaughter of the minister will eventually be your daughter-in-law, won't she?"
Jia Daishan finally realized what he had promised after taking Shuiyuan into the army.
But Jia Daishan still knew that no matter whether he agreed to this marriage or not, he would follow the thoughts of the father and son above.
Moreover, Jia Daishan didn't want to miss someone who was so nervous to treasure his heart and soul.
"I understand Aiqing's thoughts. Since Aiqing doesn't object to this marriage, then I will make an order. As for the date of the marriage," Jinjin paused, glanced at Jia Daishan who was aggrieved, and looked forward to His stupid son smiled today, "Let's wait and see when Qin Tianjian plans a date."
As for what kind of day the Qin Tianjian will plan, it depends on God's arrangement.
Both Jia Daishan and Shui Yuan are not very satisfied with this statement today.However, the two also understood that there was no room for change in what they said today, so they all thanked each other.
When the two of them bent down to thank each other, Jia Xiaoniu, who was standing straight there, attracted special attention.Seeing Jia Xiaoniu's gesture of stroking her beard and smiling now, she paused slightly.
This is still a child.
Thinking that Jia Xiaoniu in front of her was only seven years old in a few days, she finally realized that she had done something unreliable and wicked.
However, people's hearts are biased, even the current Lord of the Peoples.
There is a difference between a real son and what God gave him.
"Nineteen, take your daughter-in-law to greet your mother, and then walk around the palace. I will talk to Duke Rong."
Shui Yuan laughed immediately when he heard the words, and took a step forward to grab Jia Xiaoniu's hand as usual.Jia Xiaoniu suddenly jumped back and dodged.
Looking at Shui Yuan with a face of shock and panic, the smile on Shui Yuan's face gradually disappeared.
As a prince, he is somewhat domineering in his nature.However, he didn't dare to be so domineering, and he was also reluctant to use it against Jia Xiaoniu.
The marriage was settled, and he was happy.But the daughter-in-law didn't seem very happy.Pursing his lips, Shui Yuan turned to look at his father.
The daughter-in-law is upset, what's wrong?
Now the corners of his mouth twitched, wanting to laugh but angry, he glanced at Dai Quan.Knowing the situation, Dai Quan immediately walked up to Jia Xiaoniu, said a few words in a low voice, then Jia Xiaoniu glanced at Jia Daishan, saw Jia Daishan nodding, and then obediently followed Dai Quan out of today's place.
Seeing that Jia Xiaoniu moved, Shui Yuan staggered behind and left.
Seeing the source of water like this, I think it's pretty good now.
He doesn't point out how promising this son is, so any behavior of him is allowed.
Because it was around Chinese New Year, and it was still the season of howling wind, Shui Yuan signaled Dai Quan to lead the way to his palace.You have to communicate with your daughter-in-law before you go to greet the queen, don't you?
When they arrived at Shuiyuan's palace, Shuiyuan dismissed Dai Quan with people facing forward, not backwards, and then, regardless of Jia Xiaoniu's wishes, pulled him into his warm pavilion to talk.
"Girl, when we get married, I will treat you very well."
Jia Xiaoniu: Beast.
"Niu is obedient, I'll give you whatever you want. If you don't have it, I'll get it for you."
Jia Xiaoniu: Still a beast.
Shui Yuan talked a lot and made a lot of promises. Seeing that Jia Xiaoniu should have ignored him with a cold face, he gritted his teeth and asked her aggrievedly, "You will marry someone sooner or later, will you marry me?" Okay? Or do you want to marry someone else."
Jia Xiaoniu glanced sideways at the source of water and sneered, "You're right, sooner or later I'm going to marry...'human'.
Water source: ...
Because of Jia Xiaoniu's emphasis, this time I changed the water source and was speechless.
……
In the end, nothing came out of the conversation that day, and Jia Xiaoniu still had a unilateral cold war with Shui Yuan.
Although she is not human, she does not want to marry a beast either.
If they were married to Shui Yuan, the offspring of the two of them would really be born from eggs or live.
After all, fish talk about their eggs, and animals talk about their cubs...
╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭
The people of Qin Tianjian finally counted the nearest day under the circumstances of the water source's explicit hints and threats.Shui Yuan thought about marrying her back first, and then coaxing him slowly.
However, when Jia Daishan found out about this date, Jia Daishan just smiled abnormally and said nothing.
Just when the source of water was overjoyed, he didn't know how big a hole Jia Daishan had dug in front of him, waiting for him.But those things are not important.
Coaxing back his wife is the most important thing right now.
Shui Yuan knows that with Jia Xiaoniu's identity and Jia Daishan's love for her, she has everything.So if you want to give Jia Xiaoniu a gift, you must be ingenious.
After wandering around in his study room countless times, Shui Yuan's eyes finally met the typo comparison book that Jia Xiaoniu gave him.
Uh, it's not a typo, his daughter-in-law called it "Records of Correspondence between Traditional and Simplified Chinese Characters".
Thinking of what his daughter-in-law said about popularizing simplified characters, people like her will no longer have to worry about missing arms and legs when writing.Shui Yuan felt that he had found a good gift for his wife.
So Shui Yuan grabbed the pamphlet, and hopped up to tell the palace servants to prepare the sedan chair, and let all his brothers be notified that a meeting was held.
The location remains the same, it is still Taibai Building.The people who attended the meeting were the eight sons of today.
No matter how reluctant they were, the seven princes still put aside what they were doing and rushed to invite them.When Shui Yuan told the story, the princes were quite frightened.
The seven princes were dumbfounded by Shui Yuan's words, and it took a long time to find their frightened voices from Java. Folks often say what kind of lid goes with a pot. Before, they thought that Jia Xiaoniu of Rongguo Mansion was taken by their brother. Staring at it is a bloody misfortune of eight lifetimes. Now it seems that these two people are really a match made in heaven.
"Nineteenth brother, don't be so nonsense."
"That's right, Brother Nineteen, it's not a trivial matter if the gang of Confucians in the court get into trouble."
……
……
"How can this be a nonsense? The strokes of those characters are so hot, and my wife is so smart that she invented simplified characters. This is a major event that benefits the country and the people. If it is popularized, maybe my daughter-in-law will be remembered in the history books." Glancing at the brothers who were not listening to him seriously, Shui Yuan took a deep breath, "I don't care, this has to be done."
Shui Wen's gentle face could hardly be contained anymore.He secretly pinched himself a few times, so that the water temperature could calmly reason with the water source.Unexpectedly, it's okay if he doesn't speak, but when he speaks, Shui Yuan directly arrests the young man.
"Ninth brother, we brothers, I know you are the most patient. You must help my brother to complete this matter. Otherwise, I will tell my father and emperor to ask you for a small matter, and you brothers will push back and forth. The empress in the palace I have always loved me, so I will go to Concubine Zhen, Concubine Ning, Concubine Li, Concubine Xia... to file a complaint."
The seven princes were once again speechless for their brothers' shamelessness.
"I have already found a bookstore on the way here, and asked them to process and print 50 copies. I will leave the rest to my brothers."
Huang Jiuzi Shui Wen's brain turned the fastest. He suddenly realized that this matter was not helpless. His eyes rolled, and Shui Wen's face was helpless. Just do your best. Just,"
"Just what?"
"It's just that this matter involves the daughter in my boudoir. If it is spread, it will always hurt her reputation. If not, let's use the name of the nineteenth brother."
Water source has always had a bad reputation, so I don't want to take advantage of my daughter-in-law.Besides, he also knew that his daughter-in-law was not good at this, so he thought about Shui Yuan and smiled, "One thing is extraordinary and two masters, about simplified characters, Brother Nine, just don't mention us."
Shui Wen glared at Shui Yuan angrily, and the prince next to him was also a little funny, he hadn't married yet, it was just the couple, and they didn't feel ashamed to panic when they yelled.
The other princes reacted a little slower, but after Shui Wen took over, they were also worried that there would be benefits in it, so they all interjected to get a share of the pie.
Shui Yuan saw that the seven brothers were giving face so much, and immediately said that he invited Taibailou for today's meal.
The seven princes who were still there, who were coming and going, fell silent instantly after hearing Shui Yuan's words.
There was only one pot of tea and two kinds of dried fruit served in total. How dare he say a treat?
Why don't you kill me.
The author has something to say: Daily life of the Arowana couple:
One day there was a big banquet in the palace, and a certain prince and princess brought them into the palace to eat a big family. After seeing a wonderful song and dance, the princess was very happy, and rewarded a handful of silver coins. His smile froze.
A certain prince covered his chest with a pale face, and his eyes were already blurry.
"My lord, what's wrong with you?"
The prince looked at his concubine's frightened face, swallowed blood, with tears in his eyes, "Happy."
She has always thought highly of herself, and when she arrived at Zhen's house, she realized that she had found the wrong reference.
Compared with her brother, she is naturally better in everything.But compared with the girls of the Zhen family, she found out how humble she was.
Although she is an imperial merchant, she was born in Ziwei Xue's family.But in terms of status, or in the eyes of everyone in the Zhen family, she is not as respectable as the big girl next to Mrs. Zhen.
She lives in the yard of Mrs. Zhen, and people who don't know it think that Mrs. Zhen likes her so much.
But only she knows how aggrieved and embarrassing the short and damp inverted room is.
The Zhen family owns the noble concubine's natal family, and it is also a family of officials who have been visited by officials several times, so all the servants of the Zhen family look down on her as the daughter of the imperial merchant.
Holding the reward silver from her on the front foot, he laughed at her for being a bitch as soon as he turned his head.
She went to Zhen's girls' school, and as soon as she got a few compliments from the female teacher, someone would tell her that she was a show off.If she was mediocre at the Zhen family's girls' school, someone would say that she was indeed the queen of business...
When she rewarded the servants, she became a briber, and the nouveau riche smashed people with money.If she doesn't reward the servants, she just says she has no rules, and says she is mean and mean.
She followed Miss Zhen's family to say a few words about appreciating antiques and jade wares, and those people said that she deserved to be the empress of Shang, seeing money with her own eyes.
In short, no matter what she does, it is wrong, and the motives of the humble and humble people are impure.
However, in the Zhen family, she did learn a lot, a lot.
At the beginning when the nineteenth prince asked her to go to the Zhen family to learn the rules, she didn't take it seriously, thinking that her rules were already very good.But when she arrived at Zhen's house, she knew what the real rules were.

With a long sigh, Baochai pursed her lips and smiled sweetly at her father, "Daddy please tell me, Baochai will live up to my father's trust."
Patriarch Xue has not seen Baochai's flashing expression just now.It's just...he had no other choice.
"I don't know where your second uncle has traveled. As a father, I'm afraid I won't be able to see him for the last time." Thinking of his brother who has been away for more than three years, Patriarch Xue really lost his temper, "After I go, my son doesn't have to go anymore The Zhen family, I will only stay with your mother at home. After the hot filial piety is over, your siblings will take your mother to the foot of Wutai Mountain to live on rent. When your elder brother's five-year term expires, the whole family will go to Beijing."
Baochai felt sad, nodded obediently, and asked his father why he made such an arrangement.
"Jinling is not a good place. The Zhen family has lived here for generations, and has become the local emperor of Jinling. Our Xue family is weak, and we have a lot of money. How can the Zhen family not be moved?" The head of the Xue family put a small box on the side of the bed. He took it and handed it to Baochai, motioning for her to open it, "Since the beginning of last year, my father has started to shrink his property. Because my father has been delaying medical use in recent years, it is inevitable that some managers will feel uneasy.
For the father, he sent them all away, and made a trick, making people think that he had lost a lot of money in doing business for the father, and sold those ostensible properties by the way.Today, our family is in the south, and apart from two houses, there are only five Zhuangzi left.On the other side of the capital, my father also bought some property.

Patriarch Xue has been ill for a long time and cannot be healed, he knows that time is running out.After discovering that the Zhen family and other old relatives were unreliable, she thought about how to protect her son and daughter, and how to arrange for them to live a worry-free life for the rest of their lives.

In the end, the Xue family only left four houses in the capital city and Jinling, ten small but not inspiring Zhuangzi.
There are four houses, two in Jinling and two in the capital, and two small houses are under Baochai's name.As for the ten Zhuangzi, Patriarch Xue also made a decision.Six sons and four daughters.

"Mr. Rong Guo and our family?" Baochai was very surprised. The Rong Guo Mansion and their family had traveled far away in the past few years. How could they agree to help her brother find an official position, and it was a real job.
Patriarch Xue saw that his daughter was curious, so he just shook his head and chuckled.
The water is deep in the south, and Rong Guogong's daughter and son-in-law are all in the south, and the water can't quench the near thirst. He took the initiative to come forward, crying and begging to show his loyalty, and used all the strength of their Xue family to protect the Lin family. No sweetener?

In the next few days, Patriarch Xue explained some things one after another.Only then did he hold his breath, waiting for Xue Pan who had rushed back from Mount Wutai to come back.
Finally, two days before New Year's Eve, Xue Pan rushed back day and night. Seeing his son returning safely, Patriarch Xue finally let go of his last obsession, and called the whole family to talk back the next day like a flash of light. After another reunion dinner, I closed my eyes forever with worries about my children.
The Xue family immediately howled, Bai Bu Shuri...
In the Xue family far away in Jinling, there is Bao girl who has been reborn from the ashes.The Lin family in Yangzhou is still living the New Year with a strong literati atmosphere.But in the capital thousands of miles away, Duke Rong Jia Dai Shanhaoxuan was not carried away by the pair of heavenly father and son.
It is said that there is no good banquet at a banquet, and there is no good seat at a banquet.After receiving today's word of mouth yesterday, Jia Daishan knew that he might be entering the palace today to attend a banquet at the Hongmen.But they never imagined that the father and son could be so shameless that they said they wanted to be married right away, omitting all the extras.
Although he had already guessed that there would be such a marriage sooner or later, he did not expect it to come so early.
Jia Daishan looked at Jinjin and Shuiyuan, who had the same smiles on their faces, and suddenly remembered a sentence he said dearly, "The royal family is the most unruly family, and they still have the nerve to control the world with rules."Now Jia Daishan really felt the aggrieved feeling of disdain and inexpressibility.
Jia Daishan knew that this marriage could not be rejected, but Jia Daishan declined a few words in order to raise Jia Xiaoniu's worth, and he firmly disagreed with his granddaughter being a child bride.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for showing love to His Highness the Nineteenth. It's just that, Your Majesty, the granddaughter of the old official is only seven years old. His Highness, the Nineteenth Prince, has reached the age of getting married and starting a business. It's better to choose another noble daughter to match, so as not to delay His Highness."
"No delay, no delay. Make it now and get married in the next year. There will be no delay at all." Shui Yuan seemed not to understand the meaning of Jia Daishan's words, and said such a sentence that made Jia Daishan extremely unhappy.
When Jia Daishan heard what Shui Yuan emphasized again, he became angry on the spot.After several deep breaths, he turned his head and looked at the present, "The Jia family is grateful to His Majesty Long En for being able to marry the royal family. I am really reluctant to marry at the age of seven, and there is no precedent to follow." The most important thing is This is too unconventional.
Hearing Jia Daishan's reluctance, Shui Yuan blinked his eyes in confusion, "We're married, my wife is still your granddaughter, why are you reluctant?"
Jia Xiaoniu: Yu is not your wife.
What a beast~
Ever since she followed Jia Daishan to the palace early in the morning, Jia Xiaoniu felt that something was wrong.After entering the main hall, Jia Xiaoniu was completely dumbfounded after listening to the words of the Qinshou father and son.
I treat you as an uncle, but you actually want to eat the fish?Has my uncle been called a beast for so many years?
Thinking of the 'Daddy' she called to the source of water, Jia Xiaoniu somehow thought of a very famous word in later generations-dad. Suddenly, a chill came over her.
Jia Xiaoniu was angry, and wanted to express her feelings that her uncle could bear it, but her aunt could not.But after thinking about it, her uncle and aunt probably won't stand on the same line with her.
Although willful, Jia Xiaoniu, who also knows the characteristics of the times, did not explode on the spot when facing the bandit father and son in front of her.
Here Jia Daishan stared at the source of water with wide eyes, he felt that there was a lot of reluctance. "Since your Highness said so, what difference does it make if you get married sooner or later? Anyway, the granddaughter of the minister will eventually be your daughter-in-law, won't she?"
Jia Daishan finally realized what he had promised after taking Shuiyuan into the army.
But Jia Daishan still knew that no matter whether he agreed to this marriage or not, he would follow the thoughts of the father and son above.
Moreover, Jia Daishan didn't want to miss someone who was so nervous to treasure his heart and soul.
"I understand Aiqing's thoughts. Since Aiqing doesn't object to this marriage, then I will make an order. As for the date of the marriage," Jinjin paused, glanced at Jia Daishan who was aggrieved, and looked forward to His stupid son smiled today, "Let's wait and see when Qin Tianjian plans a date."
As for what kind of day the Qin Tianjian will plan, it depends on God's arrangement.
Both Jia Daishan and Shui Yuan are not very satisfied with this statement today.However, the two also understood that there was no room for change in what they said today, so they all thanked each other.
When the two of them bent down to thank each other, Jia Xiaoniu, who was standing straight there, attracted special attention.Seeing Jia Xiaoniu's gesture of stroking her beard and smiling now, she paused slightly.
This is still a child.
Thinking that Jia Xiaoniu in front of her was only seven years old in a few days, she finally realized that she had done something unreliable and wicked.
However, people's hearts are biased, even the current Lord of the Peoples.
There is a difference between a real son and what God gave him.
"Nineteen, take your daughter-in-law to greet your mother, and then walk around the palace. I will talk to Duke Rong."
Shui Yuan laughed immediately when he heard the words, and took a step forward to grab Jia Xiaoniu's hand as usual.Jia Xiaoniu suddenly jumped back and dodged.
Looking at Shui Yuan with a face of shock and panic, the smile on Shui Yuan's face gradually disappeared.
As a prince, he is somewhat domineering in his nature.However, he didn't dare to be so domineering, and he was also reluctant to use it against Jia Xiaoniu.
The marriage was settled, and he was happy.But the daughter-in-law didn't seem very happy.Pursing his lips, Shui Yuan turned to look at his father.
The daughter-in-law is upset, what's wrong?
Now the corners of his mouth twitched, wanting to laugh but angry, he glanced at Dai Quan.Knowing the situation, Dai Quan immediately walked up to Jia Xiaoniu, said a few words in a low voice, then Jia Xiaoniu glanced at Jia Daishan, saw Jia Daishan nodding, and then obediently followed Dai Quan out of today's place.
Seeing that Jia Xiaoniu moved, Shui Yuan staggered behind and left.
Seeing the source of water like this, I think it's pretty good now.
He doesn't point out how promising this son is, so any behavior of him is allowed.
Because it was around Chinese New Year, and it was still the season of howling wind, Shui Yuan signaled Dai Quan to lead the way to his palace.You have to communicate with your daughter-in-law before you go to greet the queen, don't you?
When they arrived at Shuiyuan's palace, Shuiyuan dismissed Dai Quan with people facing forward, not backwards, and then, regardless of Jia Xiaoniu's wishes, pulled him into his warm pavilion to talk.
"Girl, when we get married, I will treat you very well."
Jia Xiaoniu: Beast.
"Niu is obedient, I'll give you whatever you want. If you don't have it, I'll get it for you."
Jia Xiaoniu: Still a beast.
Shui Yuan talked a lot and made a lot of promises. Seeing that Jia Xiaoniu should have ignored him with a cold face, he gritted his teeth and asked her aggrievedly, "You will marry someone sooner or later, will you marry me?" Okay? Or do you want to marry someone else."
Jia Xiaoniu glanced sideways at the source of water and sneered, "You're right, sooner or later I'm going to marry...'human'.
Water source: ...
Because of Jia Xiaoniu's emphasis, this time I changed the water source and was speechless.
……
In the end, nothing came out of the conversation that day, and Jia Xiaoniu still had a unilateral cold war with Shui Yuan.
Although she is not human, she does not want to marry a beast either.
If they were married to Shui Yuan, the offspring of the two of them would really be born from eggs or live.
After all, fish talk about their eggs, and animals talk about their cubs...
╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭
The people of Qin Tianjian finally counted the nearest day under the circumstances of the water source's explicit hints and threats.Shui Yuan thought about marrying her back first, and then coaxing him slowly.
However, when Jia Daishan found out about this date, Jia Daishan just smiled abnormally and said nothing.
Just when the source of water was overjoyed, he didn't know how big a hole Jia Daishan had dug in front of him, waiting for him.But those things are not important.
Coaxing back his wife is the most important thing right now.
Shui Yuan knows that with Jia Xiaoniu's identity and Jia Daishan's love for her, she has everything.So if you want to give Jia Xiaoniu a gift, you must be ingenious.
After wandering around in his study room countless times, Shui Yuan's eyes finally met the typo comparison book that Jia Xiaoniu gave him.
Uh, it's not a typo, his daughter-in-law called it "Records of Correspondence between Traditional and Simplified Chinese Characters".
Thinking of what his daughter-in-law said about popularizing simplified characters, people like her will no longer have to worry about missing arms and legs when writing.Shui Yuan felt that he had found a good gift for his wife.
So Shui Yuan grabbed the pamphlet, and hopped up to tell the palace servants to prepare the sedan chair, and let all his brothers be notified that a meeting was held.
The location remains the same, it is still Taibai Building.The people who attended the meeting were the eight sons of today.
No matter how reluctant they were, the seven princes still put aside what they were doing and rushed to invite them.When Shui Yuan told the story, the princes were quite frightened.
The seven princes were dumbfounded by Shui Yuan's words, and it took a long time to find their frightened voices from Java. Folks often say what kind of lid goes with a pot. Before, they thought that Jia Xiaoniu of Rongguo Mansion was taken by their brother. Staring at it is a bloody misfortune of eight lifetimes. Now it seems that these two people are really a match made in heaven.
"Nineteenth brother, don't be so nonsense."
"That's right, Brother Nineteen, it's not a trivial matter if the gang of Confucians in the court get into trouble."
……
……
"How can this be a nonsense? The strokes of those characters are so hot, and my wife is so smart that she invented simplified characters. This is a major event that benefits the country and the people. If it is popularized, maybe my daughter-in-law will be remembered in the history books." Glancing at the brothers who were not listening to him seriously, Shui Yuan took a deep breath, "I don't care, this has to be done."
Shui Wen's gentle face could hardly be contained anymore.He secretly pinched himself a few times, so that the water temperature could calmly reason with the water source.Unexpectedly, it's okay if he doesn't speak, but when he speaks, Shui Yuan directly arrests the young man.
"Ninth brother, we brothers, I know you are the most patient. You must help my brother to complete this matter. Otherwise, I will tell my father and emperor to ask you for a small matter, and you brothers will push back and forth. The empress in the palace I have always loved me, so I will go to Concubine Zhen, Concubine Ning, Concubine Li, Concubine Xia... to file a complaint."
The seven princes were once again speechless for their brothers' shamelessness.
"I have already found a bookstore on the way here, and asked them to process and print 50 copies. I will leave the rest to my brothers."
Huang Jiuzi Shui Wen's brain turned the fastest. He suddenly realized that this matter was not helpless. His eyes rolled, and Shui Wen's face was helpless. Just do your best. Just,"
"Just what?"
"It's just that this matter involves the daughter in my boudoir. If it is spread, it will always hurt her reputation. If not, let's use the name of the nineteenth brother."
Water source has always had a bad reputation, so I don't want to take advantage of my daughter-in-law.Besides, he also knew that his daughter-in-law was not good at this, so he thought about Shui Yuan and smiled, "One thing is extraordinary and two masters, about simplified characters, Brother Nine, just don't mention us."
Shui Wen glared at Shui Yuan angrily, and the prince next to him was also a little funny, he hadn't married yet, it was just the couple, and they didn't feel ashamed to panic when they yelled.
The other princes reacted a little slower, but after Shui Wen took over, they were also worried that there would be benefits in it, so they all interjected to get a share of the pie.
Shui Yuan saw that the seven brothers were giving face so much, and immediately said that he invited Taibailou for today's meal.
The seven princes who were still there, who were coming and going, fell silent instantly after hearing Shui Yuan's words.
There was only one pot of tea and two kinds of dried fruit served in total. How dare he say a treat?
Why don't you kill me.
The author has something to say: Daily life of the Arowana couple:
One day there was a big banquet in the palace, and a certain prince and princess brought them into the palace to eat a big family. After seeing a wonderful song and dance, the princess was very happy, and rewarded a handful of silver coins. His smile froze.
A certain prince covered his chest with a pale face, and his eyes were already blurry.
"My lord, what's wrong with you?"
The prince looked at his concubine's frightened face, swallowed blood, with tears in his eyes, "Happy."
