The Hulk of the Red Chamber

The gathering during the Mid-Autumn Festival clearly highlighted Shi Xiangyun's unfamiliarity with historians, and even a kind of disapproval. Even if he didn't pay much attention to the inner house, Shi Ding, who had always been careless in this regard, also discovered that it was inevitable that he would talk to historians in private. Mrs. Qin said: "Young girl Yun is the only blood of eldest brother after all. She has been staying in Jia's house all these years, but she has developed such a temperament. She doesn't look like a member of our historian!"

After all, she didn't grow up by her side, and she rarely sees her often. To Mrs. Qin, Shi Xiangyun is an ordinary relative. If you want to talk about feelings, there is no such thing as Shi Xiangxue. At least Shi Xiangxue gives needles and thread to elders during the festival , there is always a share of Mrs. Qin, although they are all cheap little things like shoes and socks, and they are not very delicate, but she has a heart!Shi Xiangyun's filial piety was all used to honor Shi Taijun, how could there be a share for Mrs. Qin, even Mrs. Fang didn't get much!

Therefore, Mrs. Qin said indifferently: "This is also inevitable. Yun girl grew up with her aunt since she was a child. Over the years, the number of times she has come to our house can be counted with a slap. Don't open your mouth! Looking back, you still think we are harsh!"

Shi Ding heard Mrs. Qin's dislike, but he didn't have much affection for Shi Xiangyun, and he didn't have much affection for his elder brother back then, let alone a niece. He just thought about the death of Shi Xiangyun's parents, so he had to take care of it. , so he asked: "Didn't you say that you want Yun girl to marry Baoyu from the Jia family? Why is it still undecided?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qin didn't have a good voice: "The Jia family regards that Jia Baoyu as a treasure, and thinks that even the princess is not good enough for him! While thinking about Yun girl, while still hanging on to that girl of Xue family, I really think that Jia Baoyu is such a great person!"

Shi Ding frowned, and said: "When the matter of our second girl is settled, if there is no further explanation from the aunt, we have nothing to wait here, and we can directly talk to Yun girl. The third child also agreed before. That’s right, the dowry that the big house deserves will be given to Girl Yun as a dowry, although it doesn’t sound good to have no parents, but Girl Yun is also a member of our historian, so why not let the second wife of the Jia family stay?”

"The third younger siblings also have the same idea. It's just that Yun girl and Baoyu's childhood sweetheart inevitably developed some friendship. I'm afraid she won't be able to turn the corner when the time comes. After all, we are not biological parents, and many things are really difficult to do!" Mrs. Qin Talents are not willing to take this thankless thing on themselves. At that time, if Shi Xiangyun does not marry well or live a bad life, wouldn't it be all his responsibility.

Shi Ding didn't expect so much, he frowned and said: "Marriage matters, parents' order and matchmaker's words, although we are not parents, but since the eldest brother and sister-in-law are not here, we are naturally in charge of her affairs! Jia Baoyu is nothing Good match, we are all doing her best!"

Men are always a little naive in this kind of thing, but Mrs. Qin never confronted Shi Ding, so she naturally agreed, but what she should do at that time is her own business. Anyway, this kind of thing, Shi Ding alone It's not good for big men to intervene casually.

Shi Ding only said here whether he wanted Shi Xiangyun to distance himself from Jia Baoyu. Looking back, a group of young girls from the Jia family were going to set up some poetry club, and the post was directly sent to Shi Xiangyun. I like this kind of thing, so I naturally agreed happily. The next day, I packed my things and went directly to Rongguo Mansion by car.

When Shi Xiangni heard that Shi Xiangyun was showing off some poetry fair in front of Shi Xiangxue, he was inevitably a little annoyed, and immediately ran to complain to Shi Hong, and Shi Hong said: "If you like it, just choose a day to hold one. When you are plump, I will go find some famous chrysanthemums and enjoy them with pincers, it is the most elegant!"

When Shi Xiangni heard this, she immediately thought it was a good idea, and immediately ran to discuss with Mrs. Qin excitedly. Mrs. Qin thought that Shi Xiangni had also learned to manage the house for so long, so she let it go and let Shi Xiangni decide on her own to host this poem Yes, it’s good to practice your hands. Shi Xiangni felt that it was even more challenging, so he immediately prepared enthusiastically.

This matter has little to do with Shi Hong. Shi Hong's marriage is coming soon, Mrs. Qin has already prepared the dowry, and at the end of the month, she will be hired directly. In September, Lin Daiyu will be able to marry back.

Mrs. Qin only had one son, Shi Hong, and as the son of the Zhongjinghou's mansion, the dowry gift could not be shabby. Mrs. Qin's dowry gift was very generous, and all kinds of clothes were made of Shu brocade or even Yun brocade, as well as pearls, jade and gemstones. Boxes, and large boxes of spices brought back from Nanyang. There are also twelve sets of golden head noodles, which are made by skilled craftsmen, corresponding to the twelve flower gods, and each set is extremely exquisite and magnificent.Counting the value of the gold and silver in the betrothal gift, the historian's betrothal gift is worth at least 5 taels.What's more, there are many things that money can't buy at all. For example, the pair of coral bonsai nearly two feet high did not have polished red sapphires the size of pigeon eggs, and smooth and round pearls. It is said that the color is very pure, and the size is not small. They are all first-class Nanzhu, and there are also Laokeng glass jadeite. Although they have not been polished, these are good things that can be passed down as family heirlooms.

The historian's generosity amazed the people who participated in Dading, but many people didn't think so. After all, the Lin family only had Lin Daiyu's blood. Once Lin Ruhai died, the Lin family's property would belong to Lin Daiyu, so naturally it would belong to the historian. Now this Point dowry, what is it!Mrs. Wang, who came to watch the ceremony and put on makeup, was full of jealousy and resentment. She suddenly regretted it. If she had agreed to the old lady and let Jia Baoyu marry Lin Daiyu, wouldn't it mean that all the property of the Lin family would be hers.Anyway, Lin Daiyu looked short-lived at first glance. When she died, what kind of woman would Baoyu not be able to marry?Maybe this is what historians have in mind, waiting to make a fortune!

No matter how turbulent the rivers and seas are in my heart, what vicious thoughts are wandering around, under such an occasion, Mrs. Wang is just a pleasant order of the fifth rank. among the wives.She can be called Mrs. Wang at home, it is purely because she is the daughter-in-law of the Duke's Mansion. According to the imperial order, only Shi Taijun and Xing's family in Jia's family can really be called Mrs. Wang.No matter how much dissatisfaction she had, she couldn't express it at this time. Therefore, she could only force a loving smile, but a hint of sternness flashed in her eyes.

Mrs. Xing was in a good mood. When she was in Jia's house, she had to wait behind Mrs. Wang for everything. Even her nominal son and daughter-in-law went to flatter the second bedroom. Even if she wanted to add an extra dish to the kitchen, the kitchen would not There are excuses and a few words of eccentricity, but here, the Lin family is a well-behaved family, Mrs. Xing is the order of the third rank, so she can naturally sit at the head of Mrs. Wang, even though she is a stepmother, her family background is not Not high, but most of the people would talk to her instead of flattering Mrs. Wang, which made her quite proud. Naturally, she was a little less mean, and it also showed a little bit of the heart of your wife, but let everyone here do it. People were amazed in their hearts, and secretly slandered the Jia family for being unruly to the extreme. The Mrs. Xing of the big house had never been as mean and petty as the rumors, and she was quite a dignified person, but the old lady of the Jia family was really It's too eccentric, why is it usually the second room who comes out to socialize!

Lin Ruhai has won the sacred heart, and is in a high position. There are many old friends in the same year in the court, and there are many people who come. Even the palace gave some rewards such as satin, head face, and wishful thinking as makeup, historians who married It is also thriving. Shi Hong has a good reputation in the Hanlin Academy. He has a talented background, but he is not arrogant, and he is not like many people who are too idealistic. Hanlin took care of Shi Hong because of Lin Ruhai's face, and later part of it was out of love for talents and hope to form a good relationship.Shi Hong is destined to have a bright future, so why bother to be a villain for nothing, causing people to bear grudges, turning around and blocking the way of his own children and grandchildren!Therefore, Shi Hong was completely taught by the people of the Imperial Academy to the cabinet reserve.

Lin and Shi's marriage is called a strong alliance. Many people know Lin Ruhai's plan. It is to ask the historian to adopt the second son to the Lin family. It is the best of both worlds. The historian is able to agree to this condition. The people in the family have now let go of their minds, so these ladies are very generous when they add makeup, and Mrs. Xing is not really a person who does not understand the world, not to mention that she cried for a while at Wang Xifeng's side before coming here. Even if Wang Xifeng looked down on this mother-in-law, she couldn't really be charged with being unfilial. Therefore, she still honored Mrs. Xing with a few good things. Mrs. Xing originally planned to buckle an eight-treasure collar herself. There is a reward, if her eldest aunt is stingy, not only will she lose face, but she will also be taught a lesson by the old lady when she goes back, so she gritted her teeth and took out all the things she brought.

This also ruined Mrs. Wang's original plan. Originally, she thought that since she was the daughter-in-law of the second room, she would naturally be thinner than Mrs. Xing (at this time, she thought that she could not be the first, and she had occupied the Rongxi Hall for so many years, so she would be thinner than Mrs. Xing.) I feel bad for not seeing her).Therefore, the preparations were not very sufficient. Seeing that Mrs. Xing was extraordinarily generous at this moment, she couldn't help but secretly gritted her teeth. However, she quietly took off a pair of jade bracelets on her wrists. Those were good things that Shi Taijun rewarded back then. I was reluctant to wear it, but I had to take it out now, and I felt a little more resentment in my heart.

The elders put on more make-up, and the girls of Jia's family and some younger sisters Lin Daiyu knew also had their own ideas, but most of them were needlework made by themselves, just to talk about their wishes.Yingchun looked at Lin Daiyu's gorgeous attire, her pretty face was dazzling like a pearl, and she was extremely envious. She was two years older than Lin Daiyu and only a few months younger than Xue Baochai. As a result, Lin Daiyu was about to get married, but their family It seems that she has forgotten that she is also old, and she has not thought about the matter of discussing marriage, and she feels very sad.Xichun is still a child at heart, and pulls Lin Daiyu to congratulate her, but Tanchun is different. Seeing how astonishing Lin Daiyu's dowry is, her heart is very complicated, even though she tried her best to please Mrs. Wang, and she did not hesitate to insult her biological mother and brother. Madam treated her just for the sake of face. Being a concubine wiped out almost all her hard work. She secretly hated that she was not a man, but she never thought that if she was really a man, it would be fine if she was a concubine, but if she was still a concubine Well, how could Mrs. Wang let him stand on top of Jia Baoyu!
