[Red Mansion] Mrs. Lin, the Buddhist family

After Jia Shu thought about it, she said something that surprised both Lin's mother: "If you really have no intention of getting married at this moment, I..." After a pause, she smiled, "Forget it, it's better to be married." Find a time and let me take you to meet the eldest princess."

Coincidentally, the eldest princess also likes Zhuzhu very much.

Zhuzhu looked confused, as if she didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to visiting the princess.

After all, Mother Lin was well-informed, and soon realized the meaning behind this move: "The eldest princess worked hard for the girl's non-marriage, and she herself did not want to get married again. Zhuzhu gets along with her, and others are jealous of the eldest princess." , I think there will be a lot less gossip."

Jia Shu nodded: "Besides, the eldest princess came out of marriage after all, I think she can give some useful suggestions to Zhuzhu." She turned to Zhuzhu, "Although I personally think that getting married is my own choice, and It has nothing to do with other people, but it is still a bit inappropriate to give up eating because of fear like you."

Zhuzhu was also a little relieved at this time, knowing that Jia Shu was really thinking about herself, so she simply agreed.

-

Afterwards, a group of people gathered together at Daiyu's Catch the Zhou Banquet.

Daiyu grabbed the book without any surprise, and Jia Min was so happy that she couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear on the spot.

Seeing this, Jia Shu immediately asked someone to copy all the books in his own bookstore and the Lin family's collection, and then sent them directly to Jia Min.

Of course, it also includes books such as the Four Books and the Five Classics.

Among Baodaichai, Baoyu is the most rebellious, Baochai is the most rule-abiding, and Daiyu is in between. She should be a person who obeys the rules and uses them, and at the same time is not afraid of breaking them.

Although Baochai looks most like a person who can enter the officialdom as a woman, if Baochai grows up and no one takes the imperial examination to enter the officialdom, Jia Shu is very suspicious that Baochai is doing it for self-protection and for the safety of Xue's daughter. Fame will not hesitate to back down.

But Daiyu is different. If she is really interested in officialdom and the law allows it, Daiyu will definitely not disappoint her talent.

That being the case, one cannot let down Daiyu's talent.

It is said that the twelve beauties are talented, full of talents and learning, and wish they could be men, so they must be given a chance.

What surprised Jia Shu the most was that at the Zhou Catch Banquet, she saw several people from the Twelve Beauties——

Wang Xifeng followed her aunt, Yuan Chun followed Mrs. Wang, Yingchun followed her aunt Zhang, besides Shi Xiangyun who was still in her infancy.

Baochai went back to Jinling with her parents before the Chinese New Year, but she didn't show up.

But this is nothing, after all, several families are relatives, and it is not unusual to appear at Daiyu's Zhou Catch Banquet.

But Qin Keqing's appearance was somewhat beyond Jia Shu's expectation.

After being introduced to Qin Keqing's identity, she simply went to Zhang's side: "Sister-in-law, does this Miss Qin have any connection with the Jia family? Why did she even come to the Fourth Sister's daughter's catch-up banquet?"

Mrs. Zhang glanced in Qin Keqing's direction, her brows were tightly frowned, and her expression was not very good-looking.

After a while, she explained in a low voice next to Jia Shu's ear: "Didn't the third sister see that she came with the man from Ningfu? This is for a kiss!"

Jia Shu was taken aback. In the original book, Qin Keqing's identity was doubtful. Many people speculated that she was the illegitimate daughter of the deposed prince, because she was of royal blood.

But now that the crown prince is in power, even if Qin Keqing's illegitimate daughter can't recognize her ancestors because she is worried about confusing the royal blood, but is she married to the Ningguo Mansion?

Will she still marry Jia Rong?

But Mrs. Zhang directly affirmed her guess: "This girl's identity is a bit undisputable. You just need to know that she is noble, and you can't easily offend her." She pointed to the sky with a dull expression, "That girl from Ningfu I have always felt that my children and grandchildren have nothing in the sky, and I always want to eat a piece of swan meat. After I accidentally learned the identity of this Miss Qin, didn't she come to ask for marriage in a different way?"

Jia Shu opened his mouth in astonishment: "Then... that one also agrees?"

"What do you disagree with?" Mrs. Zhang waved her hand, "Although this Miss Qin is also of...blood, she didn't recognize her ancestors after all, and there is no apparent benefit to marrying her. Compared with a real princess, There are not many young talents who are willing to marry. Not to mention young talents, even the sons of real nobles are somewhat shunned."

"As for Jia Rong," Zhang said mockingly, "at least his status is the highest among a group of dandies who intend to marry him. The most important thing is that his grandfather is now valued by the present. Remember her status as a girl in front of that one, a down-and-out noble in order to turn herself around. And under the guidance of Brother Jing, although she has a bad reputation, she has some talents after all, and she is quite suitable for Miss Qin."

Even if Qin Keqing is an illegitimate daughter, she is also of royal blood. You are showing kindness, who are you trying to disgust?Of course Emperor Chengtian was unwilling to marry his daughter to someone with such a purpose.

Jia Shu was stunned for a moment and then came back to his senses, but he felt in his heart that Qin Keqing and Jia Rong's relationship could not be broken no matter what.I just don't know if Qin Keqing's marriage to the Ningguo Mansion this time will cause the chaos and ethics in the original book.

Thinking of Qin Keqing's final fate of being hanged, Jia Shu couldn't help but sigh.

But this melancholy was only fleeting, and she soon set her sights on the other girls.Of course, the one she loves the most is the little fairy Daiyu, the little girl Yingchun whom she had met before.

Yingchun is only one year younger than Xue Pan, and now she is five years old. She is a fluently spoken girl who knows beauty and loves beauty.

When Jia Shu brought her in front of her, the two buns tied on her head trembled, which looked particularly amusing.Yingchun no longer remembered Jia Shu as her aunt, but under Zhang's introduction, she sweetly called "Aunt Shu".

Jia Shu was overjoyed and pulled him into his arms: "Yingchun is so cute."

It was the first time Yingchun heard such a straightforward compliment, she couldn't help but blushed with shame, but her attitude was generous, and she even saluted Jia Shu to thank her.

Jia Shu became more and more happy, and thinking of Yingchun's "two wood" image in the original book, he couldn't help boasting to Mrs. Zhang from the bottom of his heart: "The elder sister is kind-hearted, and she is also good at raising children."

Zhang raised her eyebrows: "Why did you say that suddenly?"

Her eyes fell on Yingchun, she turned her head to look at her side, blinked her eyes, looked curiously at Nuanchun who Jia Shu didn't rush forward, and laughed, "It's not that I know how to raise children, it's just that I have one." Daughter, I always think that it is too difficult for a woman to be alive, so the time before leaving the cabinet can be easier. In this case, as a aunt, I am willing to make them happy. Even if it can’t be a bowl of water, I can’t You've been treated badly, aren't you? Kuang Enhou is really good to me, and I should reciprocate and treat his children better."

Jia Shu couldn't help but feel that Mrs. Zhang was really kind-hearted. Of course, there should be some reason for the good relationship between the husband and wife.Otherwise, no matter how kind-hearted Mrs. Zhang is, she would not be able to have a peaceful mind about the children born to her husband and other women.

The two sat on the side chatting and laughing in low voices, but they heard a hearty voice: "Daughter-in-law, forgive me, everyone is talking lively over there, why did you come here?" , "This one should be Mrs. Lin, right?"

Zhang's smile faded away, and when she squinted her eyes slightly to look at the person coming, her expression was not too bad: "Since the second cousin has a good chat with other people, why is she condescending to come to my place? You didn't see me Are you having fun chatting with the third sister?"

The visitor didn't expect Mrs. Zhang to be so disrespectful to her, and her expression suddenly became gloomy.

Mrs. Zhang is not afraid at all: "I didn't say that since the second cousin sister-in-law came with Xiangyun, let alone take care of her carefully, she shouldn't run around by herself. Instead, she left the infant child in the corner with her." The servant will take care of it? I have been with the second cousin for many years, and I know that the second cousin didn't do it on purpose, but others don't know, so maybe they think that the second cousin is treating the only daughter left by her brother harshly."

The visitor was so angry that his complexion turned blue, but he didn't dare to do anything to Mrs. Zhang, so he had to walk away.

"Chi——" Zhang's eyes were cold and squinting at the back of the other party, until the other party really walked to Shi Xiangyun's side, then he looked away.

Jia Shu had some guesses in his mind: "Could this be the wife of the cousin who inherited the elder brother's title from the historian?"

Mrs. Zhang sighed: "I don't know what happened to the historian. I didn't know what to think when I seized the heirloom before. It seemed that we had the same hatred with our family on the bright side, but the Eighth Prince stood behind the scenes. After the new emperor came to power, the historian was in a difficult situation. Cousin disappeared during the war. Although the Holy One was merciful and did not take back the title of historian, the second cousin and the third cousin were never educated by heirs, and the second cousin's sister-in-law was not selected according to the clan's wife. She was a bit arrogant and indulgent. , Who would have expected that once they gain power, the whole family will not be able to see clearly the real situation of the historian, instead they will become frightened, act without a method, and offend others without knowing it."

"Like today's door-to-door provocation..."

"It happens often." Mrs. Zhang looked lovingly at Shi Xiangyun who was being held in her arms by the servant girl, "I feel sorry for the only daughter left behind by my eldest cousin."

Jia Shu hesitated and said, "Is the big cousin gone?"

Mrs. Zhang shook her head: "When the news of my cousin's death came, my cousin's sister-in-law couldn't hold back immediately and gave birth prematurely. After giving birth, she bled heavily, leaving only her daughter, so she just left. Otherwise, with her temperament, she would rather As a step-heir, he is absolutely unwilling to give up his title."

Jia Shu had never been in contact with Shi Xiangyun's mother, but in other people's eyes, she was a cheerful, generous, yet resourceful woman who was extremely intelligent.

Compared to relying on others, the other party is indeed more willing to adopt.

But she happened to be gone, leaving only Shi Xiangyun as an orphan, even if she was raised by her real uncle, how could she feel comfortable at home?

"If my sister-in-law really cares about her eldest cousin's daughter, why not take her to her family to raise her?" In the original book, Jia Shishi did this.Although it is completely unclear how much distress and how much calculation is in it, at least it is a fact that Shi Xiangyun's life in Rongguo Mansion is better than at home.

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, and winked at Jia Shu playfully: "Where do you want to go? Just like even if you like Yingchun, you wouldn't think of taking her by your side to raise her. The marriage of that girl Xiangyun still falls on the In the hands of my second cousin, if I want Xiangyun girl to be my daughter-in-law, it would be fine to take over and raise her since I was a child, but if I don't have this plan, I'd better not do such annoying things."

Jia Shu couldn't help laughing: "You actually used this to tease me?"

As he spoke, he shook his head, hugged Yingchun and stopped talking.

It's true that she didn't think well. In the original book, Jia Shishi seemed to have thought about allocating Xiangyun to Baoyu, and she never adopted anyone by her side. She is still an elder, and no one would gossip if she was adopted by her side.Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Shi Er are of the same age, so naturally it is even more difficult to operate——

Is it to make people misunderstand that Mrs. Shi Er is not as good as Zhang's upbringing, so she gave her niece to others to raise?

Even for the sake of fame, Mrs. Shi Er would not agree.
