Red House Spring Fiber

Mrs. Wang heard such a thing, and such a good family, she felt a little annoyed in her heart, but she could only say: "Is this really the case? But I don't know which family's good husband? To tell you the truth, Our old lady loves her granddaughter the most, and she always looks at her like an eyeball. Although it makes me hard to figure out what it is, it is the old man's fancy."

"I understand what Ma'am means. This kind of marriage was originally thought to be good by my old lady, so she sent someone to come here." The wife of the Chang family, who is a daughter-in-law, also understands what is going on here, with a smile on her lips, There was a trace of intimacy in the eyes: "You don't know, my old lady looks at Miss Lin as if she is her own son and granddaughter, and she is the most affectionate. It happened that Mrs. Tao's family came to talk that day, and somehow she talked about it. Children's marriage matters, no, it's very good to get together for two times, so Fang asked me to come and take a walk."

"The Tao family?" Mrs. Wang paused when she heard that, but she couldn't remember which Tao family it was.There are quite a lot of officials in Beijing, and although Tao's surname is not a major surname, it is not considered a minor surname either. When she said it for a while, especially if it was said that it belonged to the Qingliu school of imperial examinations, she couldn't help but feel a little uncertain.

Mrs. Chang's family over there smiled and said: "Which family could it be? He was originally the eldest son of the Zuo Shilang family of the Ministry of Officials, named Tao Jue. He is seventeen now, and he passed the Juren examination the year before last, ranking seventh. Moreover, he was born gentle and handsome, well-spoken, he is a young talent, and he was chosen at the moment. Not to mention that this child is good, there are reasons for both his parents and the girl of the Lin family. Mr. Tao Ming and Mr. Lin were originally the same age, and the other was the second son. , one is the daughter of Tanhua, they are just a couple. It is his mother, Mrs. Yue, who was quite congenial with Mrs. Lin in the early years, and they had a good friendship. They met Miss Lin a few times before, and they were very happy. That's why, together I heard that your family intends to choose a son-in-law with Miss Lin, and they are very willing in their hearts, but they have never had any contact with your family, so it is not easy to post a post to see them, so they entrusted our family."

After these words fell, Mrs. Wang really felt uncomfortable all over.It never occurred to her that Lin Daiyu, whose parents are both dead and has no one to rely on, can have such a good family to propose to marry her!What is going on in this world?Just looking at the parents, regardless of the girl's appearance and temperament?Thinking of this, even though she knew she had to speak nicely, she really couldn't help herself, so she could only murmur: "This is really a good family, I can't pick anything anymore."

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Chang's family thought that Jia's family and Lin Daiyu had their eyes on someone, so she couldn't decide, so she thoughtfully smiled and said: "No matter how good this family is, no matter how good this gentleman is, after all, I will choose with my daughter. It's not enough. This is also common sense. However, this Tao family has a little deficiency, and I won't hide it from you. Although his family likes Miss Lin, they want to settle the marriage slowly."

Hearing this sentence, Mrs. Wang only thought that there was something wrong, her heart was lifted, and she thought to herself: Sure enough, if she is really so considerate in everything, she won't have to look down on Miss Lin.While thinking about it, she smiled and said: "I can't find anything bad about it. I don't believe what you say is wrong. As long as the marriage is settled slowly, we will It’s common sense to have a family like this. Which family’s engagement is not carefully selected? This is also to hope that after they get married, the husband will be prosperous and the wife will be noble, and the family will be harmonious.”

"That's the truth." Mrs. Chang's family nodded again and again, and said: "Your family is a well-informed family, and I am not mistaken. The Tao family values ​​Miss Lin very much. If you want to concentrate on preparing for the exam, if you find out about this for a while and get distracted, wouldn't it be a good thing that turns into a bad thing? However, Miss Lin is very kind, if she didn't ask, she would hire someone else early, and then Where to find it? Therefore, their family wanted to make a secret agreement, but it was a gentleman's agreement, and the marriage will be settled as soon as the spring is over next year. Is this good?"

Hearing such a reason, Mrs. Wang pinched her nails in the palm of her hand, but at the same time forced herself to utter a sentence: "This statement is reasonable." After she finished speaking, she paused, and finally said something else: " And it also suits our family's situation. First, our old lady is the most careful and prudent, and she loves Daiyu girl very much. She will not want to rush through such a big matter, and she must have a sense of color in her heart. Second, Our lord went on an errand according to the order of the Holy Majesty, and it will take a year and a half before he can come back. My uncle is the most important, and he also values ​​that girl very much. This marriage also needs him to come forward. It's different, I think next year It may not be settled.”

Having said that, Mrs. Chang's family couldn't help clapping her hands and laughing, and said: "In this way, it is a match made in heaven. Now that I have said that, I will go back and tell the story clearly. If there is such a fate between the two families, it is also true. a good thing."

Although Mrs. Wang was not reconciled to Daiyu getting such a good marriage, she also felt that there was nothing wrong with the family, and it could not be settled for a while.Thinking of this, she suppressed her anger for the time being, nodded with a smile, and said that she wanted to talk to Jia Mu in detail, but hinted that this matter must be done.

That's it.Mrs. Chang resigned and went back, Mrs. Wang fell back, not knowing what she was thinking, but after half a day, she came back to her senses and asked: "Did the old lady wake up from her afternoon nap?"

Caixia on the side smiled and said: "The old lady woke up half an hour ago, and she ordered four-color dim sum fruits in the room. I think she is having tea." Mrs. Wang nodded and ordered to fetch the dressing table. Take a closer look, straighten your clothes and hair, and then go to Jia Mu.

Mother Jia was eating half a cup of white fungus and lily soup. When she saw her coming, she put it down, took tea and rinsed her mouth, then nodded and said, "You're here." Mrs. Wang said hello with a smile, and then asked Wen Han.Jia Mu then said: "It's just about the same, you are too rigid about etiquette, we mother and son talk, and we just have to live with it."

Mrs. Wang responded, said a few more gossips, and then said with a smile: "Speaking of which, there is a happy event that must be told to the old lady. My niece..." Mother Jia interrupted before she finished speaking. She said: "That thing again?" As she said, she winked at Yuanyang, Yuanyang saw this, and hurriedly led the woman and maid down.

The smile on Mrs. Wang's face faded a little.

Jia Mu also said: "You also know that Yu'er is a very thoughtful girl. I thought about it. If I don't have a certain number, I don't want to say it, so that she won't think about it. And because of the second girl's matter, Baoyu and the others are also worried." There are so many worries. How do they know that we are elders, how can we not be careful? But they are still young, so it is not easy to talk about these things in detail. You can also do it in detail later, but don’t say it casually, so as to save the whole house from going up and down Said, but let them think more in their hearts."

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wang really couldn't bear it, her face paled, and she couldn't even speak.

When Jia Mu saw her like this, she turned her head and touched the teacup. She didn't drink the tea, but slowly lifted the lid and skimmed off a little foam on it.There was no sound in the room, only the lid at the back touched the tea bowl, and there was a light pang.After all, Mrs. Wang has experienced it in the world. Immediately she came back to her senses, her face changed, and she said: "The old lady said yes. But this family is very good, everything is good. I can't find anything inappropriate." She said something about Tao's response to the situation, and said, "You also know that Miss Lin is the most loved by the old man. The old lady of the Chang family always likes her. It's relatives again, if she feels bad, how can she talk to Miss Lin? It's just that this matter must be carefully considered, and the old lady and the master also have to consider it, so I didn't agree to it. It's just that their family also has such a meaning, I think about it Now, it might be a match made in heaven."

When Jia Mu heard everything she said, she felt in her heart that if she married Daiyu, everything would be appropriate, and it really meant a match made in heaven.But when she looked back and thought of Baoyu, she couldn't help but hesitated.Baoyu treats Daiyu differently, she is really looking at it.Naturally, this may not be any personal relationship, but it is a rare friendship between children, each other knows their own temperaments, and they are both talented and beautiful. When I talk about it in detail, except for my own daughter-in-law, everyone else is not bad. What is at home, and it can be more comprehensive and appropriate.

As a result, Jia's mother said that the trade-off was difficult to decide.Half a day later, she saw Mrs. Wang's eager eyes, and sighed in her heart, she could only slowly say: "This family is really good, but it's just starting now, it may not be true. You go and investigate carefully, if it is true In this way, I will talk to Yu'er slowly. Anyway, there is still a year and a half to go, so I was not in a hurry."

Hearing what Jia Mu said, Madam Wang still felt a little inadequate, but she could breathe a sigh of relief: It seems that the old lady is already moved. Although this marriage is only a beginning, after all, there is intention after all, how can it be like this? Broken.In all likelihood, the matter is settled.It's just that it's not easy to spread rumors in the mansion, and once the root is settled, there is nothing to worry about.Wait for two or three months, if you change the token twice, there is nothing wrong with it!

Mrs. Wang then smiled and said: "What the old lady said is true, not to mention the others. Now the master has never come back. He must preside over the important affairs of the niece. We are women, and we only entertain women. , who knows how to entertain outsiders."

Seeing her like this, Jia's mother sighed even more in her heart, but she just nodded her head.

This matter will be settled in one day, although there is no news from the mansion, Mrs. Wang treats Daiyu more softly than before.Looking at it, Daiyu wondered in her heart, but she had nowhere to say. It was her aunt, she was an elder, even she and Zijuan Chunxian didn't have to elaborate.On the contrary, it was Aunt Xue who saw it in her eyes, thought for a while, and asked Mrs. Wang: "I see that my sister has become a little smoother these days, but I don't know why?"
