[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

Mrs. Xing came in person, and Jia Yan would not just say that. She immediately ordered Zheng Dianbao (Note: Dianshi is an official position, Dianbao is a specific official position, and Zheng is the surname) to lead Baishu and Xanth After choosing clothes and jewelry, I stayed in the flower hall of the Thanksgiving Hall to continue talking to Mrs. Xing.

Jia Yan has a lot of clothes and jewelry, in addition to the ones made for her at home, the private subsidies from the elders, and the filial piety from everywhere and from outside.

Now the Yan family is gifting big heads, but the Yan family is not the only one giving gifts to Jia Yan.She began to receive filial piety when she was promoted to county lord, but it was not as much as after she was promoted to county lord, let alone now.

In the past, these things were handed over to Jia She first, and after Jia She had a look at them, he thought they could be accepted.The first thing Jia Yan did after getting it was to let the two Fengyi female officials, He Fengyi and Wen Fengyi, have a look at it before registering it.

Now that Jia Yan has become Concubine Shu, the gatekeepers have become He Shangshi and Wen Shangshi, and the two maids of Dian Bao Dian will assist and register by the way.

For the clothes and jewelry sent from outside, Jia Yan would definitely not know how to wear them, and would only keep them properly.Therefore, the small warehouse of her Thanksgiving Hall stores the clothes and jewelry she had acquired two years ago, and she picks out some of them for Xing Xiuyan's daily wear, which is more than enough to save Mrs. Xing's face.

In this regard, the Dianbao female officer has been professionally trained: she quickly found a bunch of clothes from those mahogany red lacquer boxes (for filial piety on the outside), all of which were suitable for Xing Xiuyan's current stature. Xing Xiuyan's status, from the autumn clothes that can be worn now to the winter clothes worn by the capital in winter, he picked out eight outfits and put them in four big red camphorwood boxes.I also picked out some passable jewelry accessories from the filial piety jewelry outside, gold, jade, jewelry inlaid, on the head, and on the body. There are so many pieces, the total value is about 3000 The appearance of the two was packed in two jewelry boxes, and I also chose a pair of head jewelry, which was also a gift from outside, and it was also packed in a box.

Bai Shu is also very careful, knowing that the girls also need some small change on hand, so she quietly found some gold and silver locks and a few hanging copper coins from Jia Yan's old box, and put them in a small box. , and then followed the female officer back and forth to report to Jia Yan.

Mrs. Xing knew the weight of these things at a glance, and said repeatedly: "This is too expensive. Just give her some ordinary ones."

Knowing the virtues of her younger siblings, Mrs. Xing is naturally not willing to give Xing Xiuyan too much.Among other things, if her younger brothers and sisters saw that Xing Xiuyan got clothes and jewelry worth five or six thousand gold (that is, five or six thousand taels of silver) as soon as she entered the Grand View Garden, they would definitely make trouble.

In her opinion, it would be better for her younger brothers and sisters to bother her less if she gave less.

Jia Yan said: "Mother, no matter what, Sister Xing is also my mother's natal niece. It is because of her daughter that no one in this garden dares to speak ill of her, but who can say anything about this private matter?" What’s more, my uncle’s family will send my cousin here, just to let her find a good marriage.” Then, he paused, and smiled: “Speaking of which, I shouldn’t have said these things. Really Speaking of which, I'm afraid I will offend my uncle and aunt."

Mrs. Xing immediately said: "Your Majesty just said it. I came today to ask Your Majesty for an idea."

Jia Yan then said: "Since the mother said so, the daughter has the courage to say it directly. The daughter heard that the uncle's family now has only a daughter like a cousin, so maybe she wants to count on the cousin for the elderly. Why not send the cousin here specially?" I hope my cousin can have a good marriage? Not to mention the son of the Xue family who came to Beijing this time, but the Yan family. Although this Yan Biju is now No.1 by his brother's side, she is a concubine after all. And Yan The family has done quite well this time, and it is impossible to say that they will be awarded an official position at the end of the year. Whether it is an official position with a false title or an official position with real power, it means that their family will change their family from the circle of businessmen to the circle of officials..."

Mrs. Xing's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, what you mean is that the Yan family wants to strengthen their relationship with our mansion through marriage?"

Although Mrs. Xing doesn't understand the outside world, she also knows the weight of Jia Yan's current status.She is very clear about the temptation of such a weight to a family like the Yan family.

Jia Yan said: "At present, it looks like six or seven points, and it will become clearer in a few days. Then Yan Biju is good. If they know her after the Yan family gets an official, they will let her sit upright. I have nothing to say about marrying my brother in a bridal sedan chair as a regular wife. Whoever made her lose some luck after all. Since she is a concubine, she will be a concubine for the rest of her life. Who will walk around the concubine's natal family as a serious relative? As my brother's concubine, her sister is unlikely to marry into our family to be my brother's or Cong'er's main wife. If the two families need to marry and deepen the relationship, can there be a more suitable candidate than the cousin? The former daughter I was also struggling with how to deal with the relationship with the Yan family, but my cousin just came."

As the identity of the Yan family is about to change, it is certain that the Jia family and the Yan family will have another marriage.

It's just that the Jia family doesn't have any suitable candidates now: both Lin Daiyu and Xichun's identities are too precious.Especially Lin Daiyu, who is the daughter of Duke Wende and the second-class county monarch appointed by the imperial court, it is hard to say whether she will be promoted to another level this time.If Lin Daiyu was promoted to the county monarch, with their Lin family's family status and the shadow of their ancestors, it would be more than enough to marry a prince and be a concubine, even a prince concubine.

Tanchun has a marriage contract, Shi Xiangyun belongs to the historian, and Jia Yan can't be the master. Isn't there only Xue Baochai and Xing Xiuyan who just came?

Jia Yan is very sure that as long as she reveals such a meaning, Xue Baochai will hesitate for a day or two at most, and will still listen to her arrangement in the end, and even show obedience and honor from the heart.

And Jia Yan also knows that with Xue Baochai's ability, as long as she is not confused, as long as her mind remains clear, she will live well in Yan's house.

It's just that Xue Baochai is Mrs. Wang's niece after all, separated from Jia Yan by one floor, and behind him is Wang Ziteng who is eagerly waiting for an opportunity in Hangzhou.

No better than Xing Xiuyan, she is Mrs. Xing's natal niece.

Not to mention the difference in quality and family background between Xue Baochai and Xing Xiuyan, just for Mrs. Xing's consideration, Jia Yan has to find a way to settle the Xing family's procrastination so that they don't add trouble to Mrs. Xing.

And if Xing Xiuyan married into the Yan family, it would be in accordance with the etiquette to come to this mansion frequently as a niece to visit her natal aunt in the future.

Only after Xing Xiuyan married into the Yan family, could the Yan family consider themselves relatives of the Jia family.

Just like the Yan family fawning over the Jia family and Jia Yan, out of consideration for the future, Jia Yan is also happy to maintain the relationship with the Yan family.For the current status of the Yan family in the maritime business circle, as well as for the future overseas territory, Jia Yan will take the initiative to maintain the relationship with the Yan family.

Is it too much to spend a mere few thousand taels on Xing Xiuyan?

In Jia Yan's view, compared to the future influence of the Yan family on the whole world, these clothes and jewelry are just a drop in the ocean!

As for Third Sister You, because of Second Sister You's covetousness for Jia Lian's position as wife, Jia Yan would not consider this materialistic beauty who is just as crazy as her sister and has a bad temper.

The other people present were basically not as far-sighted as Jia Yan, but they—including the surrounding ladies and maids, as well as Mrs. Xing and Wang Shanbao's family—all saw the benefits of this marriage:

The Yan family is rich, but they are big merchants in the south!A big businessman with an annual income of millions!There is nothing wrong with taking out some money for the young mistress to support her family.As long as Mrs. Xing still recognizes this niece, as long as the Yan family needs this relationship, and as long as Xing Xiuyan is not an idiot like Wang Xifeng, Xing Xiuyan can do well in the Yan family. Even Mrs. Xing's younger siblings will probably not need Xing at that time. Madame is worried.

Mrs. Xing just needs to stay in Qingronghou's mansion with peace of mind and be her Mrs. Hou and accept the flattery of others.

Although this future is very beautiful, Mrs. Xing still hesitates: "Madam, it's good, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that this girl will follow her parents and aunt and change her temper, and she will be useless and cause trouble."

Mrs. Xing is like this. Even after Jia Yan got the royal appointment, she has not changed her cowardice and timidity.

But that's fine too.

At least Jia Yan doesn't have to worry about her committing something that violates the laws of the country like Mrs. Wang Xifeng.

Jia Yan said: "If mother is worried, let's test my cousin's character here first. If there is something that is not enough, I will spend some time and teach her for two more years. If it is really not enough, we will find a way."

Tentatively, it is Xing Xiuyan, and it will not be changed in general.Unless she is something like Wang Xifeng, who can't be cultivated, Jia Yan can only let her go.

Mrs. Xing also understood Jia Yan's subtext.She nodded repeatedly, and said: "My mother said that, I feel relieved. However, since this girl is sensible, her family has been defeated. I am afraid that she will be spoiled by her parents. I will beat her. If She is really nice, I will bring this matter back to your father. "

It was rare for Mrs. Xing to muster up her energy.

Also.

When she first entered the house, Jia Yan lived with Jia's mother, and she couldn't speak casually; when Jia Yan moved back to the East Courtyard, and she was Jia Amnesty's darling, how could she dare to speak harshly?

On the contrary, it was Xing Xiuyan who could make the decision.

She brought her confidant Wang Shanbao's family, followed by a group of girls and women, carrying a string of boxes in a mighty way from the path behind Tirentang to Luxue Temple.
