Even though Lin Ruhai felt reluctant to part with Daiyu again, he was relieved that the marriage was really decided.Thinking that when Lin Qingyun got married, because there were no female elders in the family, he asked the eldest wife of the Zhuang family to take care of it, but when Daiyu got married, the eldest wife of the Zhuang family was the mother-in-law, so it didn't matter if the Jia family didn't mention it.Considering that they are close sisters, and Lin Qingyun is married as a woman, it makes sense to come back to help her sister with her marriage.So, Lin Ruhai found Zhou Nanny who was beside Daiyu, told the matter, and asked Zhou Nanny to go to Prince Chun's Mansion.

When Nanny Zhou heard that Daiyu's marriage was finalized, she was surprised at first, but she was overjoyed when she learned that it was said to the eldest son of the Zhuang family.

"Congratulations, master! To put it bluntly, the master's choice of marriage is really excellent. When I was in the palace, I heard people lament the family style of the dealer. I don't know how many girls want to marry in. After all, we girls are blessed. Miss She is really a good match with the eldest son of the Zhuang family!" Zhou Nanny didn't make a death contract when she first entered the Lin family, and it was only after she saw that the girls were nice and respected herself that she agreed to live in the Lin family for the elderly.Girls, it is good for them to be slaves. People like the Zhuang family, although their family status is lower now, do not know that it is better to be quiet and worry-free. They have spent most of their lives in the palace, and they just want to retire in peace.

At the end, Nanny Zhou asked: "Master, do you want to tell the girl about this?"

"Let Yu'er come over here." Lin Ruhai thought about telling her daughter herself.

After a while, Daiyu arrived.

"Dad, do you have something to ask for your daughter?" Thinking of Nanny Zhou's words and expressions at that time, Daiyu was inexplicably nervous.

Lin Ruhai carefully looked at her daughter who was getting older every day, stroked her hair and sighed, "Yu'er is eleven years old this year, and when the girls grow up, they have to talk about marriage, and choose a marriage for the father and daughter."

Daiyu was startled, and panicked from the bottom of her heart: "Daddy, my daughter is still young, and she wants to be with Daddy."

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Don't panic, Yu'er, you know who Dad chose, he is the eldest son of the Zhuang family. He just got to know Yuan a few days ago, and his literary talent, character, and family background are a good match for Yu'er."

"Daddy!" Daiyu was a little girl after all, and she was very ashamed and annoyed when she heard her father say such words.

"Yu'er listened to my father in detail. My father didn't want to make an engagement for you so quickly. It's just that after your sister Qingyun, I don't know how many people secretly made up their minds. My father is also afraid that there will be another imperial decree. It's not easy to meet a good-tempered royal family like Prince Chun, let alone how can the royal family be that good? Your sister Qingyun can't help it, now that she looks quiet, if three or five years later... there will be some troubles. Although the official status of this Zhuang family seems low at first glance, but they have a deeper heritage than our Lin family. I don’t know how many generations they have passed on. They will definitely rise up when they are in the hands of Zhuang Li. Their family has a good family style, men do not take concubines, and they go up to the old lady. You all know it, my sisters, and you are family friends with our family, so you know everything, how much better than others."

Daiyu calmed down and thought about it, she also knew that her father was painstaking: "My daughter listens to her father."

But she said that Nanny Zhou went to Prince Chun's Mansion and met Lin Qingyun. When she told the story, Lin Qingyun was both surprised and happy.

"This is a happy event! The dealer is good. Didn't the eldest son of the dealer just get to know Yuan? The adoptive father appreciates his talent and learning articles very much, and now it is just right to choose him as his son-in-law." Lin Qingyun sighed lightly, and said: "My sister's How can I just stand by and watch big things, and it doesn’t make sense to invite relatives. My adoptive father and sister don’t dislike me, so I should help. Just tell me when the day comes, and I’ll go!”

Nanny Zhou laughed and said: "That's what I said, the master chose a good marriage!" Then said: "How is the eldest girl recently? It rained two days ago, and the girl got caught in the rain unpreparedly in the garden. Fortunately, I drank a bowl of hot ginger soup and sweated. I didn't leave the house for two days, so I didn't get sick. When I came, the girl asked the eldest girl, so I said, why is the eldest girl so reckless? There are maidservants and mother-in-laws in the palace, and a group of people are waiting on them at any time, so there is no reason for the princess and master to be exposed to the rain."

Lin Qingjun said with a smile: "Zhou Nanny said the truth. I didn't get caught in the rain so easily. Besides, I'm in good health, and I can't get sick even if it rains a little. However, the weather changed and the weather went down, but the prince coughed heavily. , recently recuperating in the room, I don't have much time. You go back and tell your sister that although she is recovering well now, after all, the time is short, and everything needs to be paid attention to. In this way, in the spring and autumn seasons, I should be more careful. It brought up the root of the disease."

"Don't worry, young lady, the young lady has always been very careful, and the young lady never wants to drink those bitter medicines again." Both of them laughed.

"It's rare for Nanny Zhou to come here. Maybe I haven't seen Nanny Li for a long time. It's better to stay for dinner. It's not too late for you to talk and go back." Lin Qingyun said.

"The old servant will take it respectfully, thank you, Miss, for the meal." Daiyu also explained the same when Zhou Nanny came, so she was not in a hurry to go back.

Nanny Zhou withdrew from the upper room, and Nanny Li was waiting. The two old sisters had a lot to say when they saw each other.I also met the other two nuns next to the princess, they were acquaintances, and the nuns that the empress gave to the Lin Mansion to teach Lin Qingyun manners were all from the empress's palace, no matter what their temperament was, they always had two faces.After chatting a few words with each other, Nanny Li led Nanny Zhou to her room to talk.

Speaking of which, they are all from the queen's palace, but they are not in the same group, and their responsibilities are different, so they didn't know each other before.Fortunately, although the two nuns were more disciplined and rigorous, they were not the kind of provocative and provocative people for no reason, and they were harmonious with each other.

Lin Qingjun changed out of the guest's clothes and put on simple homely clothes. Because Tu Yan was ill, she chose a bright color of purple, gold and rose red.

"Princess, the porridge is ready." Bailu came in holding a white porcelain cup, and there were four small plates of the same color on the tray, which contained several light side dishes to accompany the porridge.

Lin Qingyun lifted the lid of the cup, and a gust of hot air with a strong rice fragrance came to his face, mixed with the faint fragrance of lotus seeds.This porridge was cooked by herself by washing the rice with water and sitting on the fire. When the maids were not paying attention, she added some nasturtium seed powder into it.A whole lotus seed can't grind much lotus seed powder, this is the second time for Tu Yan to take it, depending on the dosage, at most ten times will be enough.She set it as a one-year amount. Firstly, to deceive people, the apostle Yan gradually recovered, and the imperial doctor couldn't detect it. Second, she needed more time to observe Tuyan, the queen, and even the entire royal family.

There is nothing more frightening than the fickleness of the human heart.

Arriving at Zhuyunju, the room was lit with smoked cages, and Tu Yan was leaning on the couch in Nuangeer, reading a book leisurely, wrapped in a cloak of Ruyi cloud pattern and azurite, and inside was only the new makeup and blue satin rolls that were usually worn at home. The rabbit fur short jacket and the hair tied up with a jasper hairpin made his face paler, and because the room was very warm, his face flushed slightly, not only did not show a good complexion, but made his appearance even more sick.

Since the beginning of winter, the climate has changed frequently, and Tu Yan's health has not been very good. Although he has not had any major symptoms, the wind and cold always invade his body from time to time, and he seldom goes out of the house.

After several months of observation, Lin Qingyun felt that the so-called sequelae of Tu Yan's poisoning should have destroyed his immune system, causing his resistance to drop drastically, which made him very easy to get sick.Originally, he was raised in the most affluent place in the world. Although he did not live a happy life, his life expectancy would not be only twenty years. I am afraid that some internal organs are not functioning well.

"Is someone from the Lin family here?" Seeing her coming, Tu Yan put down the book, touched her hand habitually, and smiled to himself again when it felt soft.After all, they are different, even if she walks in the cold wind for a while, her hands are still warm, and he is indeed cold even when he is in the house with the door closed and not making a move.

Lin Qingjun waved his hand to order Hong Ling Bailu and others to retreat, put a bowl of white rice porridge in the white porcelain cup on the small kang table in front of him, and placed four side dishes, and said in his mouth: "The foster father sent someone to come Tell me, my younger sister has chosen someone else, the eldest son of Mr. Zhuang, the imperial envoy of Zuoqian capital."

"The Zhuang family..." Tu Yan nodded, and praised him: "His family is indeed a good marriage partner, and they are family friends, and they know each other well. It is a blessing for your sister to go to his family. I was in the palace when I was young. I heard those concubines talking about the three wives of the Zhuang family with sourness and jealousy."

"Men have three wives and four concubines, but women want to stick to one and die. If things are not fair..." He stopped talking halfway, shook his head and smiled: "Forget it, what are you talking about. While the porridge is still hot, Hurry up and eat some, I cooked them myself, try my skills."

Tu Yan smiled, picked up a bowl to scoop up a spoonful of thick and soft rice porridge, and just brought it to his mouth, he smelled the faint fragrance of lotus seeds at the end of his nose, which seemed familiar.In a trance, he recalled that on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he took a trip before the gate of hell, which was unforgettable to him. When he was in despair, he had smelled this fragrance of lotus seeds. It was very faint, so faint that one thought it was just The hallucinations were branded deep in his heart, and he never forgot them.

He raised his eyes to look at Lin Qingyun. The other party was adding food for him. Seeing him looking directly at him like this, his eyes were full of doubts.

Tu Yan looked away as if nothing had happened, and ate the rice porridge, chewing slowly, but people who eat very poorly recently ate up a bowl of rice porridge.Lin Qingyun saw that he had a big appetite, so she refilled the remaining half bowl for him, but unexpectedly he ate it up again.

"But still? Why are you so hungry today? If I had known your appetite was so good, I would have cooked some more." Lin Qingyun was really surprised, but he also liked it. "You haven't eaten so much these days. If you eat again, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. If you like it, I'll do it next time."

Because she wanted to add golden lotus seed powder, Lin Qingyun considered the pot under the rice grains, and didn't want to waste it.

"Enough is enough." Tu Yan was really struggling, put down the bowl, and slowly leaned on the Qiuxiang Yin pillow. I don't know if it was an illusion, but I just felt a warm feeling all over my body. The comfort made him dazed and dizzy sleepy.

Seeing this, Lin Qingjun put the brocade quilt on Tu Yan with light hands and feet, accidentally touched the kang table, and the dishes slammed, but Tu Yan didn't wake up, so it was obvious that he was fast asleep.Lin Qingyun was a little surprised, and thought that the porridge he ate contained golden lotus seeds, which might not only heal the disease and nourish the body, but also calm the mind and nourish the mind.

After tidying up the dishes, he called Bailu to take them away, then picked up the book that Tu Yan had read before and casually flipped through it.

At the end of the month, the Zhuang family sent the official media to the Lin family to propose marriage. Because it was agreed a long time ago, Lin Ruhai accepted it with a proper attitude.The official media replied to the dealer, and the dealer made it easy for Zhiyan to come to the house in the second year of junior high school to accept the ceremony.The gifts of Nacai are all customized, according to Zhuang Pei's official rank, eight pieces of silk and satin, eight kinds of jewelry, and ten pieces of fruit boxes.After the Lin family accepted the gift, the Zhuang family sent an official media to come to the door and inquired about Daiyu's name, Nian Geng, and horoscope, and prepared to combine the horoscope, and the Zhuang family also sent Zhuang Li's horoscope. Sure, this marriage is truly settled.

Because it was the winter month, which was a single month, and it was not a good month as planned, the day was moved to the twelfth lunar month.After all, as soon as the twelfth lunar month is over, it will be the second year. Due to various reasons, the two families want to settle down as soon as possible.

As soon as the Lin family posted the post, everyone realized that the only prostitute daughter of the Lin family had actually discussed marriage, and chose the eldest son of the Zhuang family!Whether they know the Zhuang family or not, they all feel that Daiyu is low-married. After all, no matter how rich the Zhuang family is, they can’t see it. Due to the official position and the reputation of the Lin family, it was easy for a daughter of the Lin family to become an imperial concubine, but the adopted daughter became an imperial concubine, and the direct daughter married a juren instead.

When Mother Jia received the post, she was completely stunned. She didn't understand what her son-in-law was thinking. Just a few days ago, an old sister from the past wanted to invite her to marry the Lin family, but it turned out...

When Jia Mu thought of the depths, she felt a black shadow in front of her eyes, and her body shook uncontrollably.

"Old lady!" Yuanyang was so frightened that his expression changed and he hurried to support her. Mrs. Xing Wang, Baoyu and all the sisters were in front of her, but she was a little bit late to react.

Mrs. Xing was thinking that Jia Amnesty had become more and more weird recently. When she came, she told her to just be a gourd without a mouth.Mrs. Wang was happy in her heart, thinking that no matter how high an official Lin Ruhai is, it doesn't matter that her daughter married only that.All the sisters were surprised, and some of their little thoughts are harmless, but Baoyu was dumbfounded, feeling empty in her heart, and muttered: "Even sister Lin is getting married, sister Lin..."

At this time, no one except Xiren noticed Baoyu.

When Jiamu woke up, she opened her mouth and said, "Get ready for the car, I'm going..." Halfway through speaking, Jiamu sat down again.What if I go?Although Daiyu is her granddaughter, she is also a daughter of the Lin family. It is her father who can make decisions about her marriage, so what does she have to do with her grandmother?Besides, she also knew about Lin Ruhai, since she handed over the post, it was obvious that she had already made up her mind, so how could she change it because of outsiders' words.

That's it!

After all, the Lin family had long intended to distance themselves, and the marriage of the two Yu'er was no longer possible, but the adopted daughter could be the princess, and her granddaughter married so lowly, wouldn't it be a joke to spread the word.

Mrs. Wang tried her best to suppress the corners of her upturned lips, and said congratulations: "Congratulations, old lady, I never thought Miss Lin would get married so early. This Zhuang family was once very famous, and the old man of the Zhuang family also served as the chief assistant of the cabinet and the official department. Ministers and other positions are all refined and elegant scholars, no wonder they can fall into Lord Lin's eyes."

Mrs. Wang is a woman in her fifties. She was young when the Prince Abandoned was defeated, so she knew about the Zhuang family, and even more knew the Zhuang family's family precepts and rules, but she didn't like the Zhuang family's female family members, and she didn't say much when she met them occasionally.

Mother Jia is not optimistic about this marriage anymore, but she can't tolerate others gloating, she immediately nodded with a smile and said: "You are right, although the dealer's family is not as prosperous as the old man's, it is a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. The first foundation is worthy. Although the old man of the Zhuang family is only a fourth-rank official, he is in the Overwatch Council, where he can be promoted very well. Besides, the eldest son of the Zhuang family has just won the Yuan Dynasty. He is only 14 years old this year. He is really a young talent!"

Mrs. Xing on the side couldn't hold back, and said in agreement: "The old lady said it is very true. It is said that the Zhuang family has a family rule that men are not allowed to take concubines. The niece and daughter are used to being quiet at home, and they can't stand the disturbance in the backyard. The Zhuang family has a family style. As for Qingzheng, it can be seen that Young Master Lin has put a lot of thought into choosing this family."

The sisters of the Jia family knew it well. After all, they had gathered several times with the girls of the Zhuang family. Compared with father and brother, they dare not imagine such a day.Now that I hear that Daiyu has made such a good marriage, how can I not be envious.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xing would say such decent words, and at this very moment, Mother Jia ignored the sour taste in her voice, made an exception and gave a good face: "What the eldest daughter-in-law said is that this is indeed a good marriage. , if Min'er knows about it, Yu'er must like it."

Speaking of which, Mother Jia couldn't help but shed tears, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart.If you put aside the family background, then Zhuang Li is indeed a good candidate for marriage, a handsome man with outstanding writing who can win Xie Yuan, and he is from a famous family, which mistress doesn't like it?Even if Jia's mother didn't say anything, she knew that the dealer had a heart, and even Princess Shang could do it.

Looking at Baoyu again, she is 12 years old now, and she still refuses to study, and she will not be disciplined ruthlessly. If she goes in the future and the two families are separated, what will Baoyu do?

Jia Mu secretly made up her mind to move Baoyu outside after the new year and let Jia Zheng discipline it.

Xiaoding's day was on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, and Lin Qingjun came over early to help with the cooking.It was also the first time for her to handle such a thing, and she had consulted the nuns around her earlier, as the nuns stayed in the palace for a while and the princesses got married, the overall procedure was the same.Xiao Ding's wife was going to prepare needlework this day, so she took Zhuang Li's measurements from the dealer, and Daiyu made a suit of clothes, a pair of shoes, and an exquisite purse, which was Xiao Ding's return gift.

Lin Qingyun took a look at this set of clothes, and couldn't help but praise: "Sister's hands are so ingenious, the patterns of flowers and plants seem to be alive."

This is a set of blue spring shirts, embroidered with orchid grass, elegant and delicate, which took a lot of effort.Daiyu has practiced needlework since she was a child, and was born in the south of the Yangtze River. She is dexterous and skilled in embroidery, color matching, cutting and other things.The most brilliant of these return gifts is the blue satin pouch, although it is a small item, the most thought has been put into it.One side of the purse is embroidered with Qiuzhi plum blossoms, but on the other side is a poem: This body in the ice and snow forest will not mix with peaches and plums.All of a sudden, the fragrance was released overnight, and it scattered into the universe and thousands of miles of spring.This poem is good, and the technique is better. The black wool thread is used, and the strokes rise and fall naturally and smoothly, just like writing.Although this poem was made by predecessors, the characters are light and elegant, and they came from Daiyu's hand.

Lin Qingyun glanced at Daiyu, his eyes full of playfulness.

"Sister, don't make fun of people!" Daiyu blushed, but forced herself to be calm.

"I'm not making fun of my sister. I'm jealous of the blessing of that brother-in-law whom I've never met. I've never had a purse made by my sister with such care."

Daiyu knew she was joking, so she still said: "If my sister likes it, I will make one for her in a few days. I didn't know this technique before, and the poems I embroidered were always stiff and unnatural, so I didn't make a joke out of it." , This is still guided by Zhou Nanny. Zhou Nanny said that she saw a maid embroidering poems on handkerchiefs when she was in the palace, and she also learned from it. She knew a little trick, so she taught me."

At this time, Nanny Zhou just came in, and said with a smile after hearing this: "Young lady is very modest, I don't know that, I just heard a few words from the maid, saying that this kind of technique is the most difficult to learn. At that time I I'm still young, but I also know that I don't have too many skills, so I keep it in my heart. Unfortunately, I don't have that talent, so I have to forget it. This is also when I saw a girl embroidering something. The girl is clever, and she can understand a single point."

While talking, the little girl reported that Jia Mu had led Mrs. Xing Wang and her sisters to come.

Daiyu hurried out to meet her.

Mother Jia and the others hadn't spoken to Daiyu yet, but they saw Lin Qingyun here. Under her status, even if Mother Jia was ordered by the Duke of the state, she still had to salute Lin Qingyun. After all, Lin Qingyun was the princess.

Lin Qingjun stepped forward to support him before he could worship him: "Old Madam, please forgive me, you are my sister's grandmother, how can I bear it?"

"Thank you, Princess, for your pity. Yu'er is blessed to have a princess as a sister." Mother Jia also couldn't help but lament the impermanence of fate.

Mrs. Xing Wang was seated with Jia Mu, Lin Qingyun was the most senior, sitting at the head, and the young sisters were all accompanying Daiyu in the room.Aunt Xue also came over with Daiyu, congratulated Daiyu repeatedly, and said a few words to Lin Qingyun.Aunt Xue has a reputation for kindness, which is different from Mrs. Wang's "kindness".Mrs. Wang eats vegetarian food and recites Buddha all the year round. When people mention it, they say that the second wife is a bodhisattva, but everyone knows that Mrs. Wang's methods are not kind at all.Aunt Xue's kindness is from the inside to the outside, the whole person is smiling, looking kind, the servants think she is kind from the bottom of their hearts.

Lin Qingjun thought of the golden and jade marriage in the original book. Although Baochai is everywhere, there is always the shadow of Aunt Xue behind her.Baochai treats Baoyu with affection, but she also has aspirations for success. If Aunt Xue hadn't made up her mind, it is not known whether Baochai would cut off her retreat and fight for the position of Bao's second grandmother.

She has always believed that Aunt Xue is smarter than Mrs. Wang, probably because she has been tempered in Xue's family for many years.

Most of the people who came today were old friends of the Lin family or colleagues in the officialdom. Lin Qingyun greeted the female family members.After the eldest wife of the Zhuang family arrived, she invited Daiyu out, and the eldest wife praised her repeatedly, and gave out the wedding gifts, which were nothing more than gold collars, gold earrings, gold rings, gold bracelets, and clothing materials. In addition, Mrs. Zhuang took out a red sandalwood box, which contained a bracelet as red as blood.

"This is something that has been handed down from our family. It is only handed down to the eldest son and daughter-in-law. It has been around for hundreds of years. I don't know how many ups and downs the dealer has witnessed. I will give it to you today." The eldest wife personally put it on her wrist. Wearing Daiyu's white jade-like skin, the bracelet looks more and more gorgeous like blood, which is breathtaking.

Lin Qingyun knew that the Zhuang family liked Daiyu, but it was not until this moment that she felt relieved.
