The Weight of the Red Mansion Walks the Road of Life

Chapter 130 Three

Mother Jia did not publicize Daiyu's marriage at home before.One is because Daiyu is now wearing a hot filial piety and it is not appropriate to publicize these things, and the other is also worried that if there is any recurrence of this marriage, it would not be a good thing for everyone to know.

But this time, after confirming the attitude of the Chang family, and the addition of a family of relatives in vain, and knowing that there must be people who are curious and poking around, Jia Mu simply called them over and told them openly.After all, it is an aboveboard happy event, and I am not afraid of people talking about it.

"When my aunt was here, I booked the fourth son of the governor of Guangzhou Chang's family for your sister Lin. A while ago, his family went back to his ancestral home for a visit. There is no female family member in the family, so it is not easy to come to the door. Yesterday, the second wife of her family returned to Beijing, and today it is so embarrassing. When I came to visit the door, I only said that I heard that my future siblings are now living in our house, so I was in a hurry to send someone to visit me."

According to the normal situation, there is no reason for the youngest son of the Chang family to be promoted to "Master" before he is married and has children. However, the eldest grandson of the Chang family's big house ordered a doll relative early, thinking about getting married again. If things go on like this, the family will no longer be able to address her by any other name, and this has made everyone in the family a generation older, and this is the result of Daiyu becoming a "wife" at a young age.

But this statement is unavoidably awkward in Jia's house. If you say something like "four masters and four wives" at home, many people will be muttering in their hearts, and Jia's mother will simply bring it over vaguely. .

Li Wan is now the grandma of the housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion. Although Sister Feng doesn't do much because of her health, she often gives Li Wan a hand.And since the granddaughters-in-law of the two housekeeper directors know about this, it is not far from the whole family knowing about it, and the family members will naturally know what attitude to use when facing Daiyu.

After all, the status of the Chang family is really not low.The old man of his family, Daiyu's future father-in-law, is a decent official of the frontier. Except for the youngest son who has not reached the crown, his three sons are still studying, and the remaining two sons are Jinshi and each have their own future. I also know that the youngest son is not far behind.The future prospects of these girls in the family now... It's really not comparable to flattery, but anyone who is not a complete idiot should know who he can't afford to mess with.

The people in the big house heard about this, but it was all right. Even if Jia She didn't treat Daiyu too well, he didn't offend anyone, and he did his duty as a relative. Even Daiyu is now in the Rongguo Mansion. Li Wan's basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation were carefully arranged by Li Wan, and he thought that his niece would not miss him at all.

On the contrary, the mind of Erfang was very confused.Tanchun had just gossiped about Jiamu's treatment of Daiyu just before, but now he can't tell whether he is more jealous or more fearful.On the one hand, Mrs. Wang rejoiced that her baby Baoyu escaped, but on the other hand she was a little unhappy because Daiyu's marriage was obviously better than her daughter Yuanchun's, but at least she was more fortunate.

Leaving aside these two mixed feelings, Wang Xifeng was quite happy, she was already getting along with Daiyu, so she naturally hoped that Daiyu's future would be better.Although the Wang family emphasizes that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and Wang Xifeng is also illiterate, but she also understands that scholars are rare. But it doesn't mean that Sister Feng feels that reading is useless in her heart.

Being in the army is very hard work, and it is always accompanied by various dangers. In addition, her two sons are not in good health. Wang Xifeng is not willing to let them continue to join the army. Fortunately, although the youngest son is still young, The eldest son has already entered school, and his grades are not bad. If he can follow the path of a scholar, he will not be bad.

The only worry is that this road may not be smooth.

The saying that there are people in the court who are good at doing things is also true in reverse. The reason why it is difficult for poor family officials to get ahead is that there is no one to take care of them, which is of course a very important point here.

Although Jia's family is not from a poor family, their careers in the civil service are no better than those of a poor family. Even because of the different career paths in civil and military affairs, it is even more difficult to squeeze into the circle of civil servants, even if they work hard to get in. It is inevitable that people will embarrass him once he enters the officialdom—isn’t Jia Jing from the Ningguo Mansion also a serious second-class Jinshi, and he was pushed out of the officialdom after he had not been an official for a long time.

Seeing Daiyu's relationship with the scholarly family now, Wang Xifeng couldn't be unhappy in his heart, and he was still hoping that Daiyu would help her sons in the future.

No wonder Wang Xifeng has a snobbish eye or is unwilling to work hard and only thinks of shortcuts. In fact, if there is no one who knows how to lead the affairs of the officialdom, no matter how capable you are, you will inevitably have to take many detours.The simplest analogy is that Jia Zhu was admitted to Gongsheng at the beginning, and he was only one step away from being a Jinshi, but he gave up the imperial examination because he was impeached and could not enter politics. I just heard a sigh from the wife of my husband’s colleague—it’s a pity that not being able to enter politics does not mean that you cannot take the imperial examination. If you can have the title of Jinshi, even if you can’t enter politics, there will always be other places to go. There is no need to delay for a few years. Even if Jia Zhu still followed the current path, it would be more honorable to have the title of Jinshi than just being a Gongshi.

It cannot be said that Wang Ziteng was not thinking carefully at the time. In fact, no one in the entire Jia family knew the difference here. Even Jia Zhu himself was quite hopeless at the time, and no one knew the twists and turns here.

If a knowledgeable person could have said a few words at that time, the Jia family would not have suffered such a big loss for nothing.

However, the relatives and friends of Erfang, who intends to rely on the imperial examination to study for success, are all noble families who were born in military generals. On the contrary, there are several relatives of scholars in the Changfang who can win the title but don’t like reading——Li Wan for the time being Not to mention, although Jia Lian's uncle's family has declined a lot, it is also a serious scholar for many generations. If Jia Lian or his children want to be promoted through the imperial examination, some people are willing to care about the incense of the Zhang family.

Because of the changes in Jia Zhu and Jia Lian's marriage, the two families are still embarrassed now. I also know that it is unrealistic to expect the person in the big house to pull out their own family. Now that they have such an opportunity to meet Daiyu, if they still If she could let go, she would not be that shrewd Sister Feng.

----split line----

If Sister Feng wanted to be kind to someone, she would really be able to please him everywhere. Daiyu was indeed transparent, but that didn't mean she wouldn't be affected.

Since she came to Jia's house, the two cousins ​​and sister-in-laws have been very kind to her. Li Wan has taken care of her thoughts of losing her father carefully and fully in every place, even the decorations in the room or the clothes and jewelry on her body. Choose plain colors as much as possible without being taboo.And although Sister Feng was not as careful as Li Wan, she always came to chat with her.

Now that Daiyu has lost her father and mother, she is now alone, and she is living in a place thousands of miles away with people she was not familiar with before.At this time, she met two sister-in-laws who cared for her, no matter whether there was any other reason behind it, she was really grateful.

As for the girls in the family... 12-year-old girls are always more sophisticated than six-year-old girls. This principle is not only applicable to Daiyu, but also to Tanchun.The six-year-old Tanchun might be able to get on well with this elder sister Lin by relying on her childish nature, but now that she is clearly on the side of her aunt, if she misses the initial moment, it will be difficult for her to get along with Daiyu again. It's intimate.

On the contrary, Yingchun Xichun and the daughters of Jia Lian and Jia Zhu's family, the former is because they are not too careful and carefree, and the latter is because they are younger and just childish, but their relationship with Daiyu is not bad.

Of course Daiyu knew about the visit from the Chang family. After all, she was the one who was being visited. Greetings in front of you.

In fact, Lin Ruhai had been thinking about her daughter's marriage ever since Jia Min became a filial piety. At that time, Daiyu was only seven or eight years old, and her engagement was only a year or two away.Mrs. Chang came to visit the Lin family. Although he was more than ten years older than Lin Ruhai, he was a real brother and brother. Qiaoqiao followed his father's words and called his uncle.

Even when they first got engaged, Lin Ruhai only told her that her uncle had chosen her to be his daughter-in-law, and didn't mention much about the Chang family.

It was only after Lin Ruhai's body became weaker and weaker that he insisted on the attitude of explaining the funeral. Regardless of whether Daiyu could understand at that time, he also thoroughly analyzed many things at home with Lin Daiyu.Even after Cousin Lian came, Lin Ruhai called Daiyu to explain a lot of things because he was not at ease with the Jia family, and revealed to her a lot of his backhands.

Even though Daiyu, an orphan girl, has a lot of property around her, it is no different from a three-year-old child carrying money in the market, but if everyone knows that the Lin family's millions of fortunes have followed Daiyu into Jia's family, what is behind Daiyu? With the support of the Chang family, even if they wanted to come to the Jia family, they would not dare to treat others slowly.Although Lin Ruhai would not have imagined that if it weren't for a series of butterfly effects, the Jia family would really have allowed Daiyu to die in the back house in order to embezzle the Lin family's property. He only had such a daughter in his life, so he still did it Only those who are more thoughtful can feel at ease.

And Lin Ruhai's foresight has indeed given Daiyu a lot of help, no matter what angle you look at it is the same.
