Stealing Fragrance and Stealing Jade in the Red Chamber

On the third day after Jia Lang returned home from Rongguo Mansion, Mother Jia posted a post to Jia Lang.

Jia Lang received a red and gilded wedding invitation from Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this golden and jade marriage finally came true.

As for Jia Baoyu's marriage, Jia Lang, who had already divided the government, naturally didn't need to discuss it.However, considering the friendship of these years, Jia Lang still sent a heavy gift.

Although Jia Lang didn't like Jia Baoyu's mediocrity and half-heartedness, he was not bad compared to some people who were full of evil.

In addition, Jia Baoyu had never offended him, so Jia Lang sent Jia Baoyu some practical property.The money was given to Xue Baochai by Lin Daiyu herself.

Now that the Jia family is struggling to make ends meet, if Mrs. Wang finds out, Jia Baoyu might not even be able to see the corners of the land deeds.

Jia Lang is now in full swing, and he will go to his post soon. Many shrewd ministers have already begun to think about marrying Jia Lang.

However, Jia Lang was too young, and got married early.

Everyone was worried that there was no way out, but Jia Lang himself asked to find husbands for his three younger sisters. Wasn't it because he was dozing off and someone gave him a pillow?

After Jia Lang went down to court every day, a group of ministers surrounded him every day.

Jia Lang didn't refuse, as soon as he mentioned the three conditions, he brushed out half of them.

One day, the mansion heard that Guanying Hou Jia Lang had returned to the Jia mansion, and everyone stretched their necks to see what Jia Lang looked like, and came to ask for a reward.

The butler of Jia's mansion carefully led Jia Lang to the front hall, where the ancestors, the first master, and the second master were all waiting.

"Mother Jia, master, second uncle." Jia Lang saluted one by one.

"Lang'er, why are you free to come over today? How are you doing?" Jia Mu pulled Jia Lang over and asked kindly.

"Okay, the mansion is currently undergoing corrections, and there are many people talking about it, so someone needs to watch it.

Today, I happened to have two things to discuss with my master and my second uncle, so I came here specially to visit everyone. "Jia Lang's current status can already sit in the main seat.

"Oh, what is it?" Mother Jia asked, but she had already thought about it.

During this period of time, even dogs in Beijing knew about Jia Lang's matchmaking for the three younger sisters.

How many sons of high-ranking officials and nobles were rejected by Jia Lang, and how many talented scholars couldn't even see Jia Lang's face.When Jia Lang mentioned the three conditions, countless talents who were given to concubines by the elders of the family felt sorry for them.

"Today, I have two things to discuss with my master and my second uncle. They are both good things. Don't be nervous. It's my sister's marriage. Today the crown prince formally proposed marriage to me on behalf of Xu Yan and Xu Jingyue.

The sixth prince of Shuihan also formally proposed a marriage to me, and mentioned Yingchun's marriage by name. Jia Lang smiled, and relaxed slightly in his heart.

He chose for a long time, and finally found two suitable candidates.

"Prince? The Sixth Prince?" Second Uncle Jia Zheng asked quickly.

"Let's talk about the sixth prince first. Everyone should have heard that he is the younger brother of the emperor's mother. He held military power in his early years. Although he is a neutral faction now, his son is very close to the crown prince. Now he is the second-rank general of the court.

This time it is about the relatives of the concubine of his family. The concubine of the sixth prince is named Shui Ning and has a literary talent. Now he is a third-rank academician of the Hanlin Academy and is in charge of editing.

Although it is a prominent family, he has read tens of thousands of volumes since he was a child, but he is somewhat eclectic and open-minded.

And Na Shui Ning wanted to marry Yingchun by name, saying that when he and his sister were offering incense together during the Guanyin Festival, they met Yingchun again at Jingwen Temple, and they have been in lovesickness ever since.

So far, Shui Ning has no concubine in the house, and he is a handsome man, regardless of his appearance.And he made an oath to me that he would be hired as the main wife with ten miles of red makeup.Never let Yingchun be a little bit wronged, and even wish to marry a concubine after thirty and childless.

I think this marriage is very good, regardless of family background, age, and appearance, they are all matched.Moreover, Na Shui Ning is still young now, and there may not be a day when he will be promoted in the future.

Although Yingchun is the only daughter of the big family, she is always a concubine, and she still has no confidence to match the concubine of the sixth prince's family.I want Yingchun Ji to be obvious to my mother and marry as a legitimate daughter.

In this way, the Sixth Prince's face will look a little better, and Yingchun will have some confidence in marrying him.

Marriage with the Sixth Prince is of great benefit to our Jia family and has no harm at all.Master, do you feel good? "When the others heard this, they laughed happily, but Jia She's face was ashen.

"Father, why don't you want to? But worry about that watery character?

Don't worry, father, I have inquired with my colleagues before I came. Although this Shui muddy man was born in a noble family, he is also a reasonable person.Moreover, Shui Ning asked his father to propose marriage to me this time, but he was full of sincerity.

If this can be done, the sixth prince is willing to let the queen be the matchmaker, and expressly declares that our second girl will be married in a prosperous manner. "Does Jia Lang not know why Jia She is displeased, he is waiting for this moment.

"It's a good family, but I have already betrothed Yingchun to Sun Shaozu." Jia She didn't care about it anyway, and only cared about his 5000 taels.

His son looks good, but the government has already been divided.

Moreover, he was the official head of the Rongguo Mansion, how could he ask his son for money, Jia Amnesty couldn't bear it.

"Father, what are you talking about is the grandson Shaozu of Zhongshan wolf? Father, you are so confused, who is that Sun Shaozu, who is the second son of the sixth prince, how can they be compared with each other.

Besides, since Sun Shaozu is called Zhongshan wolf, he is not a good thing. I also heard that he was too violent and killed countless servant girls.Because he signed a death contract and spent some money, he didn't make trouble with the officials.

Such a person, how could the third sister live in the past when she married? "Jia Lang is not an ordinary person now, he said this with confidence.

Jia Amnesty immediately felt ashamed when Jia Lang said that.

The son said, Lao Tzu, if Jia Lian would have beaten him long ago, Jia Lang has now separated his family and is still a Marquis, so how can he fight him.

"Hmph, I'm his old man, I can do whatever I say." Jia She flicked his sleeves and was about to leave the table.

"Father, I don't know why you are only interested in that Zhongshan wolf, I advise you to rest your mind.

If it is someone else, I can still think about it. If it is that kind of shameless and lowly person, I will definitely not agree.

Tomorrow, I will return to the matter of the Sixth Prince, and ask the Sixth Prince to personally ask the Queen to order a marriage.Now that I am a public servant, I can just ask for an imperial order, but my mother was a first-class one at the beginning, and there is no other way to seal her.

Now it is just in use, and it is still possible to invite Yingchun to be a county monarch.Since he is the county lord, it is natural to communicate with me, the person who asked for the title, on matters of marriage.

Ancestor, let's tidy up for the second younger sister today, I will personally send someone to invite her in the afternoon, and I will enter the palace to ask for a seal and a marriage in the morning.My younger sister got married from my house, so I don't have to worry about it here. Jia Lang also stood up angrily, and just said to the old ancestor.

Jia Amnesty pointed at Jia Lang and said you one by one, so angry that he couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Father, don't worry, on this wedding day, I will definitely send a post to invite my father to attend." Jia Lang raised his eyebrows coldly, seeing a trace of fear.

Jia She was embarrassed and dared not compete with him.

In the end, I could only stomp my feet, flick my sleeves, and leave.

"Mother, the second sister-in-law also come and help me, I don't know about this, the old grandmother should take pity on me." Jia Lang said this to the old ancestor, after all, the marriage is usually arranged by the head of the house .

"Hey, don't blame your old man, he is a fool. Just take your mother and Feng girl with you, but let Ying girl get married in a good manner."

Although the ancestors are old, they are also clear.This girl married so richly, she will naturally think of Jia's family in the future.Moreover, the Sanchun sisters and Baoyu played very well, and they will also be Baoyu's help in the future.

"Don't worry, old ancestor, Yingyatou is now my own daughter, and I will definitely let Yingyatou get married in a good manner, and I will never let her suffer any grievances." Mrs. Xing responded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, old ancestor. I will report back every day. If there is anything wrong, you can just beat me hard." Wang Xifeng's words broke the ice of the embarrassing situation for a while.

"You girl, Lang'er, let's talk about the second thing." Jia's mother was more concerned about the prince's marriage.

"Because the prince only said that he is asking for a marriage, he didn't say which one, but our family only has two girls, Tanchun and Xichun, and Xichun is a girl from Ningfu, so this marriage is said to be for Tanchun.

This Xu Jingyue is the number one scholar in the Jinke, from a scholarly family, although not as prominent as the sixth prince's family, he is indeed extremely talented.Now in high school, the emperor and the crown prince love it very much, and the emperor intends to allow Yicong, the fourth-rank inspector, to go to the south of the Yangtze River to experience it.When he came back a year later, he was promoted to the third rank Hanlin.

Although Xu Jingyue's family is not rich, they have savings.And he only wants to glorify the lintel, and there is no concubine in the room.The population of the family is extremely simple, there is only one mother, and the mother is weak and sick all the year round, Tanchun is the head of the house as soon as she gets married.

This Xu Jingyue is a disciple of the prince, and the prince was full of praise for Xu Jingyue's talent, so he wanted to be a matchmaker for him.

Second Uncle, although this Xu family is not rich, it has a bright future.Therefore, this marriage is also very good, and it will be very beneficial for the children of the Jia family to study, find teachers, and obtain fame in the future.How does Uncle Er feel? "

Jia Lang deliberately asked the prince to be a matchmaker, because he was afraid that Jia Zheng would look down on his poverty.

Jia Zheng wiped his beard and nodded in satisfaction.

He had always claimed to be a noble scholar, and now he was very happy to be the father-in-law of Zhuangyuan Lang, and the vanity in his heart was greatly satisfied.

"Yes." Jia Zheng made a gesture and agreed.

"In that case, my two families will reply together. If you say this, you can't go back on your word. During this period of time, ladies, it's best not to go out, and don't meet foreigners.

In addition, prepare a few nuns to teach and learn etiquette for a year.The mistress of the house can no longer be like a girl.Tanchun will have to trouble the old ancestors.

The dowry must be well prepared, when the time comes, the sixth prince will ask the queen to bestow the marriage, and the crown prince will attend the wedding banquet in person.We must not allow people to underestimate our girls, lest they be despised by relatives of the same generation in the future.

That's all I have to say, I don't know much about the inside, so let Jia Mu and his wife worry about it.

Although I was separated from the mansion, I was still a member of Jia's family. On the day of the girl's wedding, I would carry her out and add makeup to her, so as to complete the friendship between my sisters and me when we were young. "Jia Lang said and was about to get up and leave.

"Don't worry, I won't let you idle." Seeing Jia Lang's nostalgia, Jia's mother felt more at ease.

In fact, Jia Lang is no longer a member of the Jia family, and Jia Lian should be responsible for the girl's marriage.But Jia Lang is now Lord Marquis, and when he goes out with girls on his back, he is supporting them. In the future, his husband's family will also treat girls kindly for his sake.

Everyone knows it, so naturally they won't refuse.

"Then I'll go first. I haven't finished my official business today, so I still need to think about it." Jia Lang bowed his hands to the crowd and left.

So the men went out to chat with the men, and all the female relatives rushed to Jiamu's place, and all the girls were called.

Yingchun and Tanchun looked at everyone looking at them and smiling without saying a word, they were all puzzled.

"Come, come, come quickly." Mother Jia waved at Yingchun and Tanchun.

Zhu's sister-in-law and Lian's second sister-in-law pulled each other to Jia Mu.

"Today, your elder brother Lang came and brought two good news. Someone asked him to marry you two, and your father has already agreed." Jiamu said with a smile.

Yingchun and Tanchun were not happy when they heard the words, their faces were mixed with red and white.

"You are really lucky to have such a good brother as Lang. One is the second son of the Sixth Prince, and the other is the champion of Jinke. Both of them are praiseworthy celebrities." Wang Xifeng looked at the expressions of the two girls, Immediately told the other party's details.

When Tanchun and Yingchun heard this, their expressions relaxed slightly, and they looked at Wang Xifeng curiously.

"Look, look, it's so big, so shy.

Lang'er said that the son of the Sixth Prince had hurt Acacia because he had glanced at Yingchun from a distance when he was offering incense in Jingwen Temple, and when he went back, he made Acacia.

No, when I found out that it was a girl from the Jia family, I immediately asked him to come forward and ask Lang'er to marry you.People also said that you are loved by thousands of people, but you won't be wronged a little more, and you can only take concubines if you have no children at [-].

Up to now, I have been thinking about marrying you, but I have never been a concubine.Look, look, look, my girl is so outstanding, the prince's son has to come to beg.

Your elder brother Lang said that even though he was a member of the royal clan, he had read many books and entered the upper study, and now he is an envoy from the third-rank Hanlin Academy.

The young talent is proud of his spring breeze, and he is short of marrying a beautiful lady. "Wang Xifeng's exaggerated remark amuses everyone in the room.

When Yingchun heard this, she immediately beat Wang Xifeng in embarrassment.

"Aiyo, aiyo, look, look, I'm talking nice things, and I still want to beat me. Hurry up, please praise me, otherwise I won't do any work for you." Wang Xifeng immediately gave way to Yingchun.

Yingchun was ashamed again.

"Third girl, the crown prince proposes marriage to your brother Lang on behalf of the champion of Jinke. The champion looks very talented and talented, and he is also motivated. Although he is not as prominent as the sixth prince's family, he is still a wealthy family.

Moreover, he has no concubines. Although his mother is weak and sick, he is a kind person.You go, you are the mistress of the house.And your elder brother Lang made it clear that if something goes wrong in the future, he will definitely support you. "The second wife took Tanchun's hand and talked in detail.

When Tanchun heard this, he also blushed.

"Yingchun, your elder brother Lang can invite someone to be sealed, because her mother has already been appointed, and she is afraid that your status will not be good enough in the palace, so she wants to pick you up so that she can be sealed for you.

After you have eaten, ask your mother and Feng girl to help you clean up, live in your elder brother Lang's house, and get married from there.

Your mother will manage your wedding, don't worry, your brother and your mother will definitely let you get married in a good manner, and you won't suffer any grievances. "Mother Jia came to Yingchun and Tanchun, and sat beside her from left to right, talking to Yingchun first.

"You don't have to feel inferior when you are looking for a girl. Your elder brother Lang said that the champion of Jinke is extremely valued by the prince. Now he is from the fourth rank. After going to the south of the Yangtze River for a year of experience, he will be promoted to the third rank. In the future, you will also have an imperial order." day.

Lang'er said, the prince is a matchmaker, and if you come to the wedding banquet in person, you will never be underestimated.

Lang'er also said that he would personally carry you out of the boudoir and put on makeup for you. You just need to rest assured that he will take care of everything outside for you. "The old ancestor sincerely lamented Jia Lang's kindness to his sisters.

When Tanchun and Yingchun heard this, their ears and necks turned red with embarrassment.

"Miss Lin is here, Miss Lin is here." Because Lin Daiyu has not been married for long, and the mansion has not asked to change her words, she keeps calling Miss Lin.

"Look, just now, Baba sent someone to invite us, and we girls are not allowed to talk at all." Wang Xifeng joked as he walked out, so that everyone inside and outside could hear him.

"You mouth, let's see if I don't tear you up someday." Lin Daiyu said to Wang Xifeng with a smile.

"Yo yo yo, it's great to be married. Look, this is much more arrogant than when you were at home." Wang Xifeng looked at Lin Daiyu's ruddy complexion. Although she was still a little timid, she couldn't see any shortcomings at all. Much better than Zaifu.

And the eyes are not as lonely and sad as before, with a smile that can't be concealed, and the romantic and charming eyes are looking forward, and they are completely different from before.

"Greetings to the ancestors, first wife and second wife." Lin Daiyu greeted with a smile.

"Are you here to meet the girl?" the ancestor asked.

"Lang... the prince told me about the second sister's marriage when he returned to the mansion. As soon as I heard it, I was overjoyed, so I came here early." Lin Daiyu sat down with a smile, took the teacup, but put it down instead of drinking it.

"You, why are you so anxious, and don't let our sisters say goodbye." Xichun heard that the two sisters, Tanchun and Yingchun, were going to get married, and suddenly felt the sadness of separation.

"What are you talking about? Brother Lang is looking after you. He will definitely let you stay in Beijing and not marry someone else. In the future, the five of us, after thinking about it, just come out and get together." Lin Daiyu also brought Xue Baochai, Now she is married to Jia Baoyu.

"What are you talking about!" Xichun immediately came over and beat her.

"You've only been married for a few days, how come you've changed completely, you've almost assimilated with brother Lang. Ancestor, don't you think so?" Tanchun saw that Lin Daiyu's life is really sweet now, so teasingly, Where can it come out of the mouth of Lin Daiyu in the past.

"Look at Yu'er, it can be seen that Lang'er is a good person, you don't worry about it." Jia Mu also said with a joke.

"Old ancestor." Yingchun said coquettishly.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere was extremely lively.

In the end, it was Wang Xifeng who made a joke and let everyone go to Yingchun's house.

"Brother Lang said, bring a few clothes that you often use, those you like, and those you don't want to part with. Many of the frequently used clothes will be new, and you don't need to bring anything you don't cherish.

Clothes, jewelry, rouge and gouache all need to be new, not old ones.And don't take them with you, as they won't work if you take them with you. "Lin Daiyu knew that Jia Lang had been planning this matter for a long time, and the items for the Spring Festival were ready a month ago.

Lin Daiyu was a little jealous at first, but when she heard Jia Lang mention that Jia Amnesty betrothed Yingchun to Sun Shaozu, and then heard that Sun Shaozu was a man, she still felt a little bit jealous.

Moreover, Jia Lang called Yingchun just to marry her off. Not only was Lin Daiyu not jealous, but she was even a little bit ashamed.

As soon as he heard Jia Lang's order, he hurried over.

Although Lin Daiyu said so, Yingchun still packed four big boxes and four small boxes, which was considered rough.

"Old Ancestor, let's go." Lin Daiyu took her Ancestor's hand.

"Old ancestor, we are going." Yingchun paid respects to the ancestor three times.

"Let's go, don't cry, it's not good. It's good to come back to see my old lady often in the future." The ancestors patted their hands.

"Yes." Yingchun replied with tears.

All the sisters were also extremely reluctant, with tears streaming down their faces.
