The opening on the [-]th was a success. Because Xichun liked it, she decided to stay on Peach Blossom Island for one night. Daiyu, Xiangyun and Yingchun accompanied her.There is always a banquet in the world, Xichun was sent away on the [-]th, and the sisters returned home depressed.
Daiyu remembers what happened to Xiangyun, and is planning how to solve it.In fact, he has an idea, which is to use his own way to treat his own body.Since the Wei family felt that Xiangyun's fate was hard to control the husband's family, if Wei Ruolan's actions were not going well, and some people gossiped about it, the Wei family might not be able to make the Wei family take the initiative to withdraw, but in this way, the rumors of Xiangyun's hard fate became more and more true. , How can I say kiss in the future?
In the end, Daiyu had no choice but to take advantage of the situation, planning to rely on her power to get the Wei family to withdraw from the marriage, and she couldn't let the Wei family maliciously support Xiangyun for the rest of her life.
Xiangyun is the niece and grand-niece of Jia's mother's natal family. She is related to Jia's family and has nothing to do with Zhuang's family. Besides, it doesn't sound good to say such a thing, so Daiyu didn't say to help Zhuang Li, but returned home. The Lin family and Lin Ruhai said.Before going out that day, Zijuan came to tell her a news, which surprised her.
"The Wei family retired? Isn't the son of the Wei family not in the capital?" Daiyu was even more puzzled as to why Wei Ruolan suddenly changed his mind.
Zijuan couldn't figure it out, so she just said, "This is what Lian's second grandma sent."
That day in Changtai Garden, Daiyu's expression was not right, Wang Xifeng took time to come over after busy work, and asked her when he saw her like this.Daiyu talked about Xiangyun, although she didn't say that she wanted to make the Wei family withdraw their marriage, but Wang Xifeng must have seen it, so she sent someone to deliver the news today.
Daiyu was anxious about the inside story of this matter, so she went to Jia's house.
She went directly to see Wang Xifeng, and opened her mouth to ask: "Sister Feng, what's the matter with the Wei family? Didn't their family deliberately refuse to withdraw their marriage? Why did they suddenly come to withdraw their marriage after they all left?"
"Sister Lin, don't worry, sit down and rest, and listen to me slowly." Wang Xifeng served her tea, and then said with a smile: "Speaking of it, you would never have imagined that this thing was done by Baoyu. Baoyu It is true that when I grow up, I will worry about the important things in my life for my sisters. First I was busy with my fourth sister, and now I am thinking about my younger sister Yun. Baoyu has a little friendship with that Wei family son. I only heard that Baoyu gave the Wei family The young master wrote a letter, and he didn't know what it said in the letter, so the young master of the Wei family sent someone to withdraw the ceremony. The other party only said that the family had undergone sudden changes, and that they had no intention of getting married in recent years, which would have delayed sister Yun's youth. Retiring the marriage is a bit of a decency."
Hearing that she really had divorced, Daiyu was relieved first, then sighed again.Originally, the two families were considered a good marriage. At that time, Xiangyun and the son of the Wei family occasionally exchanged letters and things. If they could get married, they would be a good couple, but accidents happened to both families...
"Go and see Sister Yun, after the Wei family resigned, Sister Yun was locked in the house alone and never saw anyone." Wang Xifeng was afraid that Xiangyun would not be able to think about it, no matter how Kuo Lang was, she was a girl's family, how could she not care about such important marriages? ?Kuang Xiangyun has experienced so many changes. She had no parents since she was a child and lived with her uncle and aunt. Now that her uncle is in exile and her aunt doesn't want to take care of her, she lives in Jia's house. The mother Jia who loved her the most is gone.
When Daiyu came to Tanchun's courtyard, she happened to see Tanchun standing in front of Xiangyun's room, the door was closed tightly, as if Tanchun's words had no effect.
When Tanchun saw her coming, his face was calm: "Sister Lin is here."
"How is Sister Yun?" Ever since Tanchun played a scene in front of her last time, even now she is planning something, and she does not hesitate to count everyone around her for the purpose, which makes Daiyu feel awkward when she sees Tanchun again .Thinking about what he said to Xiangyun that day, everything changed, not only Baoyu, but also these sisters.
Although Tanchun's voice was light, he could hear the sarcasm in it: "What can we do when we encounter such a thing?"
For a moment Daiyu didn't know how to talk to Tanchun, as if it was a mistake for her to stand here.
It was Tanchun who spoke again: "Sister Lin, you are the only one who has the best life among our sisters. I only want to help Sister Yun for the sake of being a sister. Sister Lin should be well aware of the hardships of relatives' family life."
As a sister, Daiyu naturally cared about Xiangyun, and would do it even if no one said it, but when Tanchun said it clearly, it was very heartbreaking.If Daiyu in the past could not bear the irony, but now... the Jia family is like this, and Tanchun's marriage is not going well, it is inevitable that there will be a few hurtful words, if she cares about this, she can't be considered a sister .
Daiyu went to pat Xiangyun's door: "Sister Yun, how about we go to Changtai Garden? Sister Yun likes boating, so let's stay for a few days. It's spring now, but I still remember that year when Sister Yun did The catkin's poem: Is it that the embroidered velvet is left to vomit, rolling up half a curtain of fragrant mist, picking it up with delicate hands, making the cuckoo sing and the swallow jealous. Stay here, stay here, don't let the spring go away."
Tanchun, who was behind him, listened to the words and sentences, and recalled the first time she wrote poems for the society, it was she who wrote a post to Baoyu, and became the first Haitang society.
Suddenly there was a sound, and the door opened.Xiangyun stood at the door, his eyes were reddish, and there were still tears in the corners of his eyes, but there was a smile on his face: "Sister Lin, sister three."
Daiyu inadvertently caught a glimpse of two golden unicorns on the table in the room, and looked closely, they were two golden unicorns, one big and one small.Among them, the small one was just worn by Xiangyun all the time, and the big one seemed to be given to Xiangyun by Baoyu.That year when Qingxuguan held a feast, the old Taoist brought a large plate of things, Baoyu was the only one who met the golden unicorn, even if she didn't say anything, she knew it was for Xiangyun.
There is another reason here, which Daiyu doesn't know, but Tanchun knows.
When Shi Wei's family settled down, Baoyu uncharacteristically said that it was a good marriage, and took away the golden unicorn from Xiangyun and gave it to Wei Ruolan.According to what Baoyu leaked at that time, Wei Ruolan always wore the golden unicorn on her body, and Tanchun and the others envied her at that time.Who would have thought that in just a few years, things have changed.
Xiangyun noticed their gazes, looked at the two golden unicorns with a wry smile, but seemed to look away, and only sighed: "The things in the world are really unpredictable, even the marriage destined by heaven is hard to come by. This is nothing."
Everyone present knew that the so-called "destined marriage" refers to the happy marriage between Baoyu and Baochai at the beginning, but because the two had divorced, Xiangyun didn't say it directly to avoid taboo.
Xiangyun stuffed the two golden unicorns in the drawer, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, I'm fine, this is just a catastrophe, I'm here, and it will go smoothly for a long time. The second brother is so troublesome about my affairs , and the sisters are so worried about me, how can I live up to it.”
Daiyu said: "Sister Yun, you have always been proud of your quick thinking, and I have always wanted to compare myself with you. How about we go to Changtai Garden? Just you and me, let's start a club."
How Xiangyun didn't know Daiyu's kindness, and it's a good thing to be able to dispose of it at this moment, so he nodded and smiled: "Sister Lin knows that I love wine, and you can have good poems after drinking wine. If you want to invite me to compose poems, you must prepare them." Good wine."
"Sister Yun, just don't worry, there is a wine cellar in Sister Qingyun's Changtai Garden, which contains not only fine wine from the dynasty and foreign domains, but also a lot of foreign wine. You can drink whatever you want."
It was decided immediately, and after greeting Wang Xifeng, Xiangyun followed Daiyu to Changtai Garden.
Lin Qingyun's Changtai Garden borrowed the prevailing club system, and the membership fees and membership levels were not much different, but each year there would be a quota for free, and these ten people could enjoy all the services of ordinary members in Changtai Garden for free.
Every year on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, a poetry meeting will be held in the name of Changtai Garden. All women can sign up to participate, and the top ten winners will get ordinary members for one year.This is not only a means of propaganda, but also Lin Qingjun's intention to attract some women with outstanding poetic talents to join Changtai Garden. In the future, there will definitely be many poems of all kinds, and it will be very beneficial to have more women with outstanding poetic talents.Regardless of the distance, the sisters like Daiyu are very happy.In the past, the girls were bored at home, and the people who came and went were from acquaintances. To them, it was not only novel but also exciting to be able to compete with other talented women in poetry and papers.
Lin Qingyun didn't think too far and wide at this time, and only hoped that this platform would give them a place to relax.The Grand View Garden used to be a paradise for Jia’s daughters, and Changtai Garden was a paradise for women in Beijing. Of course, she hoped that one day women’s restraints would be less restrained, like in foreign countries, so she also gave Scarlett and Louise Several people gave away membership places, hoping that they would have the opportunity to get together in Beijing.
There are inevitably many problems in the operation of the garden, not only Wang Xifeng's busy feet do not touch the ground, but even Lin Qingyun is rarely free.Tu Yan often makes suggestions, and occasionally a word of advice is also eye-catching.
Lin Qingyun praised him without hesitation: "If the prince is in business, it will not be difficult for him to be as rich as an enemy."
Tu Yan laughed and said, "It's not necessarily a good thing to be rich. We don't need anything. Now we don't do this for money. When we have a daughter in the future, Changtai Garden has already matured. She must like it very much."
"There is no shadow yet. Could it be that Chuyang and Brother Rui are not busy enough for you?" In fact, the two had discussed it earlier, and it was Tu Yan who first told her that she hoped that she could take a good rest in the past two years. Frequent births would be a burden on her identity.What's more, they now have two legitimate sons, Chuyang and Brother Rui, which is enough to make people envious. As long as they are educated well, they will be enough without other children, so now they are all consciously contraceptive.
Tu Yan sighed: "Those two bastards are not as caring as my daughter."
Tu Yan thought of the eldest sister of Lu Hong's family whom he saw last time, she was pink and big-eyed, she was so cute.He wanted a daughter then.
Lin Qingyun laughed: "Did you dislike them so quickly? They are only so old, and they still have to grind."
Half a year later, the operation of Changtai Garden was on the right track, and Wang Xifeng's management was getting better, and Lin Qingyun finally relaxed.
It's rare that the weather is crisp and clear in autumn. Tu Yan checked the affairs of Gao's family, and suddenly got a clue recently, and he has been very busy these days.She told Xiangsi to pack up her things, and planned to take Chuyang and Brother Rui to Changtai Garden for two days.
When it was first built, Peach Blossom Island was reserved in Changtai Garden. Occasionally, I came to live here when I got interested, or when my sisters got together. Daiyu, Anle, and Huiyi Ruolai lived here for a while.It is the most important rule that male guests are not allowed in the garden, so even Tu Yan is not allowed to enter after the official opening, so the sisters of Taohua Island can all live there, so there is no need to shy away from it.
When the group arrived at the garden, Wang Xifeng came to entertain them after hearing the news, and personally led the people to help them settle down on Peach Blossom Island.
The maids and women on duty in each courtyard and hall of the garden are generally fixed. The more expensive the guest's residence is, the more this is the case. One is to know the habits and preferences of the guests and serve better, and the other is to protect the privacy and security of the guests. Familiar faces It's better than having a new face every time, so I feel more secure.Of course, the personal servants of the wives and ladies of each family are their own maids, and the maids and wives sent in the garden are only responsible for some trivial matters.
The maids on Peach Blossom Island were selected by Lin Qingyun himself, and there were several strong women who patrolled in the morning and evening. No matter whether there were people living on the island or not, no one was allowed to disturb them.
There are as many people as there are right and wrong. In this garden, there are rich and powerful women from various families in Beijing, and their relationships are intricate. What's more, the wars between women range from verbal to conspiracy. It has only been half a year since it opened, and Wang Xifeng has dealt with it secretly Pile such things.It is not easy to manage this garden, it is definitely hard work and laborious, but Wang Xifeng seems to be tireless, all kinds of mediations are done properly.Lin Qingyun was relieved and admired, but also worried that she was working too hard.In the original book, Wang Xifeng worked so hard for Jia's family and got sick all over. Compared with it, this garden definitely consumes more effort and energy. She doesn't want to see Wang Xifeng get tired because of it.
Fortunately, the two nuns took turns to follow, not only reminding Wang Xifeng to deal with the disputes between the female family members, but also reminding her to pay attention to her health, and gave her some health care prescriptions, Wang Xifeng benefited a lot.
As soon as he arrived on the island, Chuyang refused to let him be hugged, and decided to run off by himself.Brother Rui has to follow Chuyang in everything. He is almost one and a half years old now, and he runs very neatly.The island is surrounded by water, and there is a wooden folding bridge on the left and right, but there is no protection at the water's edge, so don't worry about the two little guys running around by themselves.
"Bailing Thrush, follow along, be careful." Chu Yang and Brother Rui each had two wet nurses, four nurses, and eight maids, who followed halfway out, and Bailing Thrush led a few more A girl followed, so she would not be afraid of falling into the water if she formed a protective circle.
Wang Xifeng watched the two little people running away playing and playing, and said with a smile: "Princess, don't worry, then these people are watching. Only the little prince and the second son often come to play, so it's better to block the fence around the island. Brother Kui came over and wanted to go to the island, and I wouldn't let me, because I was afraid that I might miss it and fall off."
"If so many people didn't follow, I wouldn't dare to let them run here." She also thought about it for a while, but the beauty of the island would be lost if it was blocked around, but when these two little guys were naughty, really People in a safe place are careless, and accidents are more likely to happen.Anyway, these people can't be kept for nothing, they all follow, and a group of people will never be overwhelmed.
Chuyang is three years old this year, and Tuyan is teaching Chuyang on weekdays. The emperor has said that next spring, Chuyang will be allowed to study in the study. It will not be easy to have a good time like this.Furthermore, Chu Yang is the eldest son and the heir to the Prince's Mansion. He is not only honored and favored, but also responsible.Sometimes she feels distressed, wishing she could take the two children away far away, it's just a ridiculous idea.
Wang Xifeng first told her about the situation in the garden recently, and then said another thing: "Sister Yun is discussing marriage recently."
Lin Qingyun was slightly surprised: "Who did you say? Who is the matchmaker?"
Although Daiyu wanted to help Xiangyun, she was still young and her status was such that it was not easy for her to meddle in such matters, so she entrusted this matter to the two wives of the Zhuang family, asking them to be more careful, and if there is something appropriate to mention Xiangyun cloud.The Zhuang family has a close relationship with the literati, and several of the Zhuang family's young masters are classmates in the same discipline, etc., so it may be suitable.
At this time, after listening to Sister Feng's words, I still guessed that there was news from the dealer.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xifeng sighed, and there was no joy on her face: "It was proposed by the aunt of the Shi family, and she raised two children at a time. One is to fill the house for the sixth-rank officials who are over 20 years old, and the other is for the rich family. A merchant's family is a daughter-in-law, and these two families are not very good families. Besides, the aunt of the Shi family suddenly became concerned about the marriage of sister Yun, and it was because of the betrothal gift from the man's family. At the beginning, I took things according to the dowry list, and one case that was not on the list could not be brought out. After [-] years of marriage, whose dowry can remain unchanged? It was damaged a lot. Later, I had to take care of the two historians, Lord Hou, Otherwise, who can survive in such a bitter and cold place? Naturally, the historian has had a hard time, but the marriages made by the second and third daughters of the historian at the time were all retired, and to find marriages for the two girls, shouldn't we focus on Sister Yun?" Wang Xifeng also said: "Although our family is a distant relative of Sister Yun, the aunt of the Shi family is Sister Yun's family. The major events in Sister Yun's life are decided by the historian, so we can't get in the way. Yesterday the Shi family sent someone to pick up Sister Yun. Going back, I found an excuse to push it off for a few days, but it couldn't be delayed for a few days."
"This and other things..."
Lin Qingyun naturally knew that Sister Feng wanted to ask for help again, but she didn't say it out because she was taking a step back, so as not to be unwilling or difficult to help, and embarrass each other.But this kind of thing is not easy to help. Speaking of it, it is the historian's family business. As the uncle and aunt who raised Shi Xiangyun, now he wants to find a marriage for Xiangyun, and everyone will praise him wherever he goes. After all, Xiangyun's reputation And the current situation of historians...
"Does my younger sister know? What does she say?" Compared to an outsider like her, Daiyu naturally has more affection for Xiangyun and is more anxious.
"Sister Lin is very kind. She searched for two or three families with great effort. The man is a juren, but the family is not well-off. But to be honest, with the current conditions of Sister Yun, it is hard to say that she is a good family with both wealth and honor. She can't just fill in the house for others. Look at our eldest wife, she might not be a neat housekeeper if she went to someone else's house, but she came to this house, how can her background be enough? The people below can't be restrained." Wang Xifeng knows the importance of being in the right family. In order to gain a firm foothold in Jia's family, she had worked hard at the beginning.She still has her natal family to rely on.
"Aunt Shi Jia didn't agree?" This is almost certain.
"Of course I won't agree. What good will it do them if they can't come up with a generous dowry?" Wang Xifeng sighed, and said: "Among us sisters, only Sister Yun and Miss San are going through hardships everywhere. For this reason, I'm still with our second master. Having said that, let's search quietly now, even if you find a family from another place, as long as the man has a good character, knows how to make progress, and the family background is not good, the third girl has a dowry, so if our natal family takes care of it, it may not be easy. "
Lin Qingjun looked at her, not knowing what to say for a moment.
After Wang Xifeng left, she asked Xiangsi to ask Daiyu at the dealer, but Daiyu only said that she would handle it.Lin Qingjun didn't intend to interfere in Xiangyun's affairs at first, after all, she is an outsider, her name is not right, and it is not good to spread it.Because of the matter of Changtai Garden, not to mention Sujun princess's bitter words in private, Dingjun princess is more stable, not only is a frequent visitor in the garden, but also has good means of kindness, and several families are now close to her.
It was just a momentary idea of hers to build this garden at the beginning, but it was Tu Yan who brought it up again and realized it.Tu Yan was more thoughtful than her, and at first he thought of the jealousy he might attract in the future, so Tu Yan proposed to donate [-]% of his annual profit to the imperial court to open schools in various places for free enlightenment.
This matter was submitted to the emperor in private, and no one except the emperor knew about the donation.
Now that Prince Chun's Mansion is in full swing, occasionally even the confident and steady Tu Yan would be worried, let alone Lin Qingyun.She usually takes her children very seriously, and the people who serve her are extremely strict, and the treatment is very generous, so she is afraid that someone will have a wrong mind.
Therefore, no matter for subjective or objective reasons, she is unwilling to interfere with Shi Xiangyun's affairs.
A few days later, she sent someone to the dealer to find out the news, and Daiyu came over in person.
Lin Qingyun saw that although her complexion was not very good-looking, but her expression was calm, she guessed that Shi Xiangyun's matter had been resolved.After asking, sure enough, it's just that the solution is lamentable.
Daiyu said: "It's not that I don't feel pain in my back when I stand and talk, it's just that sister Yun was raised by the aunt of the Shi family, and she is also the daughter of her own niece. But now seeing Sister Yun's profit and wanting to take people back for manipulation, it's really cool. The second and third daughters of the Shi family are their own daughters, and they feel sorry for them. They want to prepare a generous dowry for fear that they will be wronged when they go to their husband's house Why don't you think about it for Sister Yun? If Sister Yun goes to the family they mentioned, how will she live in the future?"
After all, this matter is a matter within the historian's family. The Jia family can only persuade, and the historian can't do anything if they don't listen.
Finally, Daiyu thought of an idea and told Xiangyun, who immediately received amnesty.
Xiangyun went to tell Aunt Shijia that as long as the Shijia didn't care about her marriage, she was willing to give the two younger sisters a dowry of two thousand silver each.At the beginning, Shi Xiangyun lost his parents when he was a baby, but later he also got engaged to the Wei family, and he got ready for the dowry. The valuable and valuable things were the few boxes she carried with her. There are ten thousand denarii.Originally, this was the foundation of Xiangyun's life, but now in order to be free, he can't care about it.
If it was a historian in the past, the dowry of three thousand silver would not have been appreciated, but now it is different from the past, the historian has been defeated, and it is extremely rich to have three thousand silver for the dowry.After all, the two aunts were just selfish, and before they reached the point of viciousness, they agreed, took them personally, wrote the paperwork contract, and never contacted Xiangyun again.
Xiangyun lost six thousand silver, but got the freedom to marry. Kuang Jia's mother still gave four thousand silver, and she has some things of her own, so it's not nothing.
"Money is just something outside of the body, and now Miss Shi is probably in a relaxed state."
Daiyu was stunned, and nodded: "Yes. After Aunt Shijia left, Sister Yun cried a lot, but then she felt relieved."
Daiyu remembers what happened to Xiangyun, and is planning how to solve it.In fact, he has an idea, which is to use his own way to treat his own body.Since the Wei family felt that Xiangyun's fate was hard to control the husband's family, if Wei Ruolan's actions were not going well, and some people gossiped about it, the Wei family might not be able to make the Wei family take the initiative to withdraw, but in this way, the rumors of Xiangyun's hard fate became more and more true. , How can I say kiss in the future?
In the end, Daiyu had no choice but to take advantage of the situation, planning to rely on her power to get the Wei family to withdraw from the marriage, and she couldn't let the Wei family maliciously support Xiangyun for the rest of her life.
Xiangyun is the niece and grand-niece of Jia's mother's natal family. She is related to Jia's family and has nothing to do with Zhuang's family. Besides, it doesn't sound good to say such a thing, so Daiyu didn't say to help Zhuang Li, but returned home. The Lin family and Lin Ruhai said.Before going out that day, Zijuan came to tell her a news, which surprised her.
"The Wei family retired? Isn't the son of the Wei family not in the capital?" Daiyu was even more puzzled as to why Wei Ruolan suddenly changed his mind.

She had no parents since she was a child and lived with her uncle and aunt. Now that her uncle is in exile and her aunt doesn't want to take care of her, she lives in Jia's house. The mother Jia who loved her the most is gone.
When Daiyu came to Tanchun's courtyard, she happened to see Tanchun standing in front of Xiangyun's room, the door was closed tightly, as if Tanchun's words had no effect.
When Tanchun saw her coming, his face was calm: "Sister Lin is here."
"How is Sister Yun?" Ever since Tanchun played a scene in front of her last time, even now she is planning something, and she does not hesitate to count everyone around her for the purpose, which makes Daiyu feel awkward when she sees Tanchun again .Thinking about what he said to Xiangyun that day, everything changed, not only Baoyu, but also these sisters.
Although Tanchun's voice was light, he could hear the sarcasm in it: "What can we do when we encounter such a thing?"

The second brother is so troublesome about my affairs , and the sisters are so worried about me, how can I live up to it.”
Daiyu said: "Sister Yun, you have always been proud of your quick thinking, and I have always wanted to compare myself with you. How about we go to Changtai Garden? Just you and me, let's start a club."
How Xiangyun didn't know Daiyu's kindness, and it's a good thing to be able to dispose of it at this moment, so he nodded and smiled: "Sister Lin knows that I love wine, and you can have good poems after drinking wine. If you want to invite me to compose poems, you must prepare them." Good wine."
"Sister Yun, just don't worry, there is a wine cellar in Sister Qingyun's Changtai Garden, which contains not only fine wine from the dynasty and foreign domains, but also a lot of foreign wine. You can drink whatever you want."
It was decided immediately, and after greeting Wang Xifeng, Xiangyun followed Daiyu to Changtai Garden.
Lin Qingyun's Changtai Garden borrowed the prevailing club system, and the membership fees and membership levels were not much different, but each year there would be a quota for free, and these ten people could enjoy all the services of ordinary members in Changtai Garden for free.
Every year on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, a poetry meeting will be held in the name of Changtai Garden. All women can sign up to participate, and the top ten winners will get ordinary members for one year.This is not only a means of propaganda, but also Lin Qingjun's intention to attract some women with outstanding poetic talents to join Changtai Garden. In the future, there will definitely be many poems of all kinds, and it will be very beneficial to have more women with outstanding poetic talents.Regardless of the distance, the sisters like Daiyu are very happy.In the past, the girls were bored at home, and the people who came and went were from acquaintances. To them, it was not only novel but also exciting to be able to compete with other talented women in poetry and papers.
Lin Qingyun didn't think too far and wide at this time, and only hoped that this platform would give them a place to relax.The Grand View Garden used to be a paradise for Jia’s daughters, and Changtai Garden was a paradise for women in Beijing. Of course, she hoped that one day women’s restraints would be less restrained, like in foreign countries, so she also gave Scarlett and Louise Several people gave away membership places, hoping that they would have the opportunity to get together in Beijing.
There are inevitably many problems in the operation of the garden, not only Wang Xifeng's busy feet do not touch the ground, but even Lin Qingyun is rarely free.Tu Yan often makes suggestions, and occasionally a word of advice is also eye-catching.
Lin Qingyun praised him without hesitation: "If the prince is in business, it will not be difficult for him to be as rich as an enemy."
Tu Yan laughed and said, "It's not necessarily a good thing to be rich. We don't need anything. Now we don't do this for money. When we have a daughter in the future, Changtai Garden has already matured. She must like it very much."
"There is no shadow yet. Could it be that Chuyang and Brother Rui are not busy enough for you?" In fact, the two had discussed it earlier, and it was Tu Yan who first told her that she hoped that she could take a good rest in the past two years. Frequent births would be a burden on her identity.What's more, they now have two legitimate sons, Chuyang and Brother Rui, which is enough to make people envious. As long as they are educated well, they will be enough without other children, so now they are all consciously contraceptive.
Tu Yan sighed: "Those two bastards are not as caring as my daughter."
Tu Yan thought of the eldest sister of Lu Hong's family whom he saw last time, she was pink and big-eyed, she was so cute.He wanted a daughter then.
Lin Qingyun laughed: "Did you dislike them so quickly? They are only so old, and they still have to grind."
Half a year later, the operation of Changtai Garden was on the right track, and Wang Xifeng's management was getting better, and Lin Qingyun finally relaxed.
It's rare that the weather is crisp and clear in autumn. Tu Yan checked the affairs of Gao's family, and suddenly got a clue recently, and he has been very busy these days.She told Xiangsi to pack up her things, and planned to take Chuyang and Brother Rui to Changtai Garden for two days.
When it was first built, Peach Blossom Island was reserved in Changtai Garden. Occasionally, I came to live here when I got interested, or when my sisters got together. Daiyu, Anle, and Huiyi Ruolai lived here for a while.It is the most important rule that male guests are not allowed in the garden, so even Tu Yan is not allowed to enter after the official opening, so the sisters of Taohua Island can all live there, so there is no need to shy away from it.
When the group arrived at the garden, Wang Xifeng came to entertain them after hearing the news, and personally led the people to help them settle down on Peach Blossom Island.
The maids and women on duty in each courtyard and hall of the garden are generally fixed. The more expensive the guest's residence is, the more this is the case. One is to know the habits and preferences of the guests and serve better, and the other is to protect the privacy and security of the guests. Familiar faces It's better than having a new face every time, so I feel more secure.Of course, the personal servants of the wives and ladies of each family are their own maids, and the maids and wives sent in the garden are only responsible for some trivial matters.
The maids on Peach Blossom Island were selected by Lin Qingyun himself, and there were several strong women who patrolled in the morning and evening. No matter whether there were people living on the island or not, no one was allowed to disturb them.
There are as many people as there are right and wrong. In this garden, there are rich and powerful women from various families in Beijing, and their relationships are intricate. What's more, the wars between women range from verbal to conspiracy. It has only been half a year since it opened, and Wang Xifeng has dealt with it secretly Pile such things.It is not easy to manage this garden, it is definitely hard work and laborious, but Wang Xifeng seems to be tireless, all kinds of mediations are done properly.Lin Qingyun was relieved and admired, but also worried that she was working too hard.In the original book, Wang Xifeng worked so hard for Jia's family and got sick all over. Compared with it, this garden definitely consumes more effort and energy. She doesn't want to see Wang Xifeng get tired because of it.
Fortunately, the two nuns took turns to follow, not only reminding Wang Xifeng to deal with the disputes between the female family members, but also reminding her to pay attention to her health, and gave her some health care prescriptions, Wang Xifeng benefited a lot.
As soon as he arrived on the island, Chuyang refused to let him be hugged, and decided to run off by himself.Brother Rui has to follow Chuyang in everything. He is almost one and a half years old now, and he runs very neatly.The island is surrounded by water, and there is a wooden folding bridge on the left and right, but there is no protection at the water's edge, so don't worry about the two little guys running around by themselves.
"Bailing Thrush, follow along, be careful." Chu Yang and Brother Rui each had two wet nurses, four nurses, and eight maids, who followed halfway out, and Bailing Thrush led a few more A girl followed, so she would not be afraid of falling into the water if she formed a protective circle.
Wang Xifeng watched the two little people running away playing and playing, and said with a smile: "Princess, don't worry, then these people are watching. Only the little prince and the second son often come to play, so it's better to block the fence around the island. Brother Kui came over and wanted to go to the island, and I wouldn't let me, because I was afraid that I might miss it and fall off."
"If so many people didn't follow, I wouldn't dare to let them run here." She also thought about it for a while, but the beauty of the island would be lost if it was blocked around, but when these two little guys were naughty, really People in a safe place are careless, and accidents are more likely to happen.Anyway, these people can't be kept for nothing, they all follow, and a group of people will never be overwhelmed.
Chuyang is three years old this year, and Tuyan is teaching Chuyang on weekdays. The emperor has said that next spring, Chuyang will be allowed to study in the study. It will not be easy to have a good time like this.Furthermore, Chu Yang is the eldest son and the heir to the Prince's Mansion. He is not only honored and favored, but also responsible.Sometimes she feels distressed, wishing she could take the two children away far away, it's just a ridiculous idea.
Wang Xifeng first told her about the situation in the garden recently, and then said another thing: "Sister Yun is discussing marriage recently."
Lin Qingyun was slightly surprised: "Who did you say? Who is the matchmaker?"
Although Daiyu wanted to help Xiangyun, she was still young and her status was such that it was not easy for her to meddle in such matters, so she entrusted this matter to the two wives of the Zhuang family, asking them to be more careful, and if there is something appropriate to mention Xiangyun cloud.The Zhuang family has a close relationship with the literati, and several of the Zhuang family's young masters are classmates in the same discipline, etc., so it may be suitable.
At this time, after listening to Sister Feng's words, I still guessed that there was news from the dealer.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xifeng sighed, and there was no joy on her face: "It was proposed by the aunt of the Shi family, and she raised two children at a time. One is to fill the house for the sixth-rank officials who are over 20 years old, and the other is for the rich family. A merchant's family is a daughter-in-law, and these two families are not very good families. Besides, the aunt of the Shi family suddenly became concerned about the marriage of sister Yun, and it was because of the betrothal gift from the man's family. At the beginning, I took things according to the dowry list, and one case that was not on the list could not be brought out. After [-] years of marriage, whose dowry can remain unchanged? It was damaged a lot. Later, I had to take care of the two historians, Lord Hou, Otherwise, who can survive in such a bitter and cold place? Naturally, the historian has had a hard time, but the marriages made by the second and third daughters of the historian at the time were all retired, and to find marriages for the two girls, shouldn't we focus on Sister Yun?" Wang Xifeng also said: "Although our family is a distant relative of Sister Yun, the aunt of the Shi family is Sister Yun's family. The major events in Sister Yun's life are decided by the historian, so we can't get in the way. Yesterday the Shi family sent someone to pick up Sister Yun. Going back, I found an excuse to push it off for a few days, but it couldn't be delayed for a few days."
"This and other things..."
Lin Qingyun naturally knew that Sister Feng wanted to ask for help again, but she didn't say it out because she was taking a step back, so as not to be unwilling or difficult to help, and embarrass each other.But this kind of thing is not easy to help. Speaking of it, it is the historian's family business. As the uncle and aunt who raised Shi Xiangyun, now he wants to find a marriage for Xiangyun, and everyone will praise him wherever he goes. After all, Xiangyun's reputation And the current situation of historians...
"Does my younger sister know? What does she say?" Compared to an outsider like her, Daiyu naturally has more affection for Xiangyun and is more anxious.
"Sister Lin is very kind. She searched for two or three families with great effort. The man is a juren, but the family is not well-off. But to be honest, with the current conditions of Sister Yun, it is hard to say that she is a good family with both wealth and honor. She can't just fill in the house for others. Look at our eldest wife, she might not be a neat housekeeper if she went to someone else's house, but she came to this house, how can her background be enough? The people below can't be restrained." Wang Xifeng knows the importance of being in the right family. In order to gain a firm foothold in Jia's family, she had worked hard at the beginning.She still has her natal family to rely on.
"Aunt Shi Jia didn't agree?" This is almost certain.
"Of course I won't agree. What good will it do them if they can't come up with a generous dowry?" Wang Xifeng sighed, and said: "Among us sisters, only Sister Yun and Miss San are going through hardships everywhere. For this reason, I'm still with our second master. Having said that, let's search quietly now, even if you find a family from another place, as long as the man has a good character, knows how to make progress, and the family background is not good, the third girl has a dowry, so if our natal family takes care of it, it may not be easy. "
Lin Qingjun looked at her, not knowing what to say for a moment.
After Wang Xifeng left, she asked Xiangsi to ask Daiyu at the dealer, but Daiyu only said that she would handle it.Lin Qingjun didn't intend to interfere in Xiangyun's affairs at first, after all, she is an outsider, her name is not right, and it is not good to spread it.Because of the matter of Changtai Garden, not to mention Sujun princess's bitter words in private, Dingjun princess is more stable, not only is a frequent visitor in the garden, but also has good means of kindness, and several families are now close to her.
It was just a momentary idea of hers to build this garden at the beginning, but it was Tu Yan who brought it up again and realized it.Tu Yan was more thoughtful than her, and at first he thought of the jealousy he might attract in the future, so Tu Yan proposed to donate [-]% of his annual profit to the imperial court to open schools in various places for free enlightenment.
This matter was submitted to the emperor in private, and no one except the emperor knew about the donation.
Now that Prince Chun's Mansion is in full swing, occasionally even the confident and steady Tu Yan would be worried, let alone Lin Qingyun.She usually takes her children very seriously, and the people who serve her are extremely strict, and the treatment is very generous, so she is afraid that someone will have a wrong mind.
Therefore, no matter for subjective or objective reasons, she is unwilling to interfere with Shi Xiangyun's affairs.
A few days later, she sent someone to the dealer to find out the news, and Daiyu came over in person.
Lin Qingyun saw that although her complexion was not very good-looking, but her expression was calm, she guessed that Shi Xiangyun's matter had been resolved.After asking, sure enough, it's just that the solution is lamentable.
Daiyu said: "It's not that I don't feel pain in my back when I stand and talk, it's just that sister Yun was raised by the aunt of the Shi family, and she is also the daughter of her own niece. But now seeing Sister Yun's profit and wanting to take people back for manipulation, it's really cool. The second and third daughters of the Shi family are their own daughters, and they feel sorry for them. They want to prepare a generous dowry for fear that they will be wronged when they go to their husband's house Why don't you think about it for Sister Yun? If Sister Yun goes to the family they mentioned, how will she live in the future?"
After all, this matter is a matter within the historian's family. The Jia family can only persuade, and the historian can't do anything if they don't listen.
Finally, Daiyu thought of an idea and told Xiangyun, who immediately received amnesty.
Xiangyun went to tell Aunt Shijia that as long as the Shijia didn't care about her marriage, she was willing to give the two younger sisters a dowry of two thousand silver each.At the beginning, Shi Xiangyun lost his parents when he was a baby, but later he also got engaged to the Wei family, and he got ready for the dowry. The valuable and valuable things were the few boxes she carried with her. There are ten thousand denarii.Originally, this was the foundation of Xiangyun's life, but now in order to be free, he can't care about it.
If it was a historian in the past, the dowry of three thousand silver would not have been appreciated, but now it is different from the past, the historian has been defeated, and it is extremely rich to have three thousand silver for the dowry.After all, the two aunts were just selfish, and before they reached the point of viciousness, they agreed, took them personally, wrote the paperwork contract, and never contacted Xiangyun again.
Xiangyun lost six thousand silver, but got the freedom to marry. Kuang Jia's mother still gave four thousand silver, and she has some things of her own, so it's not nothing.
"Money is just something outside of the body, and now Miss Shi is probably in a relaxed state."
Daiyu was stunned, and nodded: "Yes. After Aunt Shijia left, Sister Yun cried a lot, but then she felt relieved."
