[Red House] Flowers are good jade circles

Shi Xiangyun didn't have a good face towards Lin Daiyu, but everyone knew that today was of special significance, so she didn't dare to say anything, and just ignored her with a cold face on purpose.

Daiyu planned to be a gourd sawing the beak, but she didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here.This acquaintance was none other than Xia Jingui.She followed Yingchun obediently, saying that she was a distant relative of the Jia family.

Although there are many, many distant relatives in the Jia family, Daiyu can be sure that Xia Jingui is not among them.But it's not difficult to guess. When the Grand View Garden in Jia's Mansion was built, they only focused on excellence, and they were dumbfounded after the construction was completed.

The money that the Xue family borrowed was not enough, it was only half of it. Fortunately, Mrs. Wang has the banner of a virtuous concubine. I don't know if it was her initiative or the Xia family's initiative. Anyway, it was the Xia family who borrowed the other half and accepted the Jia's house. urgent.

The Xia family, who had done their best, wanted their daughter to appear today, but Mrs. Wang was always embarrassed to tear down the bridge when crossing the river, so she agreed and asked Yingchun to take her with her.

The whole family dressed up to welcome Concubine Xiande, everyone knelt down with Mother Jia, and was helped up by Yuan Chun himself, "Grandmother..." After shouting these two words, they were choked up.

Want to see Mrs. Wang again, mother and daughter embrace each other, weeping uncontrollably.Seeing Baoyu, Yuan Chun squeezed his hand tightly, "Baoyu has grown so big after so many years."

"Big sister." Baoyu's eyes were flushed, and the old vague memories seemed to come back, and his expression became more and more excited.

Watching the touching reunion scene, Daiyu is just an outsider, kneeling when she should, and laughing when she should. Besides, she can't bear to pretend to be sisterly.

However, thanks to this, she has the spare time to observe everyone.The chess player next to Yingchun would whisper something to Yingchun as soon as he found a chance, and kept gesturing to her with his eyes, and stepped forward to get close to the empress.Only Yingchun ignored her completely, which made Siqi anxious.

In the end, Yingchun even sent her away, not allowing her to serve in front of her.Siqi was helpless, he dragged every step while walking, his face turned pale.

Xia Jingui wanted to get close to the empress several times, but was firmly held back by Tanchun, and she was not allowed to come forward unless the empress asked questions.

After seeing the ceremony, Yuan Chun and Mrs. Wang had something to say, and the rest of the ladies stayed here, Xia Jingui suddenly became angry, "Why are you stopping me, Mrs. Wang wants you to accompany me, not to let you watch over me .”

"Sister, what is the meaning of this? I don't understand why I don't understand. The rules in the palace are not allowed to speak unless the master asks. Although the time is short, the rules that should be taught have also been taught. Didn't sister remember?" Tanchun didn't have the slightest sense of living under Mrs. Wang's hands.Her personality is even similar to that of Sister Feng, and Mrs. Wang also values ​​her very much.She is also a concubine, compared to Yingchun, she lives more freely, and much more freely.

"I'm not a servant. I'm a guest of your family, and Mrs. Wang personally invited me." Xia Jingui's face was dark. If Tanchun kept getting in the way, wouldn't she have returned without success.

"I didn't know that Ms. Xia actually felt that she was bigger than the law of the country. The Xia family, the royal merchant of love, didn't even have to kowtow to pay their respects when they entered the palace?" Tanchun was a little annoyed. Today is such a rare day. This opportunity is to meet the big sister, but I still have to bring a towel bottle.If I didn't know the joints, I really wanted to drive this lifeless thing away.

"My good sister, I was about to say the wrong thing, so what is the meaning?" Xia Jingui finally calmed down, but she was resentful in her heart. A concubine from the Duke's mansion also put on airs.

Tanchun didn't intend to argue with her, but seeing that she was subdued, he just let it go.

After a busy day, everyone who Daiyu didn't say anything felt tired and peeled off.Jia Min declined the suggestion to rest in Jia's house for one night, and took Daiyu home.

Xingguo muttered something, and Daiyu realized that Siqi was so clever.She actually saw Sun Shaozu's malicious intentions, and she wanted Yingchun to take advantage of Yuanchun's return this time to secure her marriage.

"Si Qi said that the second young lady is going to reach her age this year, but up to now, Mrs. Xing has never taken her out of the house once, let alone invited others to the house. And this Young Master Sun comes here every now and then. , I don’t know what he is doing, I only know that he is not married.”

According to the custom in Jinling, when the fifteenth birthday comes, it is time to get engaged and prepare a dowry for one or two years, which is just right for marriage.In the one or two years before Jiji, you should walk around and look at each other.It's really difficult to deal with something like Yingchun.Mrs. Xing's status is not enough, and she doesn't care about this concubine at all.Mrs. Wang doesn't care about the big house's affairs, and Jia's mother is old, and she only sees a precious jade in her eyes.Unexpectedly, when Yingchun reached her age, she would be casually allowed out by the elder.

When Xingguo said, Chen Xiang was also in the room, and couldn't help "spit", "This kind of bad embryo is still allowed to come to the door. If he came to Lin's house, he would have been kicked out."

"Hey, when did he recruit you?" Daiyu only remembered seeing him in Jia's mansion, how could he know that he molested Chen Xiang with his eyes.

Chen Xiang blushed, "Anyway, I know."

Daiyu frowned and said: "Is it just the last time?" The aloes are pungent and pungent, these years, getting older and calmer, it is not easy to say such words.Now that it is said, it must be pointed out.

"En." Chen Xiang's face was flushed, but he nodded without hesitation.

Xingguo was stunned when he heard this, "No wonder when Siqi talked about this person, he looked like he wanted to kill him. It seems that he must have suffered from his dark losses."

"Give Siqi a few silver coins and ask her to ask what this Sun Shaoqi is looking for with his uncle, and how far he has gone so far." Daiyu said.

Chess is clever, and he is familiar with Dafang's head.It's just that I don't have money in my hand. If I have money, I will naturally know who to ask.

"Hey, servant girl will do it now." Xingguo turned around and left.

On the contrary, Chen Xiang felt embarrassed, "Miss, what is this going to do, but after taking a look at this servant, it is really, really not a big deal."

Daiyu shook her head, "You are mine, if he dares to be so frivolous, he will have to pay the price. Just remember, this matter..."

"The servant didn't hear anything." Chen Xiang finished speaking quickly, and saluted.After all these years of company, she knew that the young lady knew what she knew, and she was very wary of the Jia family from the beginning to the end. It was very different from the madam's hot head.

Daiyu didn't dare to say that she had the ability to save people, but she didn't know about anything that happened to her.What's more, Sun Shaozu gave her a reason, if she didn't punish someone who offended her, how could she be so angry.

Sun Shaozu came to run for an official position, and through the relationship of the son of a family friend, he climbed up to the Grand Master.Jia Amnesty took the opportunity to take 5000 taels of silver from Sun Shaozu, but after eating and drinking, he didn't have the ability to help Sun Shaozu.The grandson Shaozu used others to go to the government again, and he had the confidence to challenge Jia Amnesty. Jia Amnesty paid off the debt with his daughter Yingchun without paying 5000 taels.Daiyu actually knew what had happened, but she didn't know how far she had come.

Siqi has money, and it is for his own lady, so naturally he will do his best.Soon the news came back through Xingguo, and Sun Shaozu was really looking for Jia Amnesty to pay back the money.

After Siqi learned about it, he was also persuading the young lady, "This incident is quite strange, and the young lady should find a way to protect herself. The only way to survive is to bring this matter to the old lady."

Yingchun's face was full of disapproval, "Father owes someone else's debts, which is a family scandal. The second bedroom is eager to see the jokes of the first bedroom. It's fine if I, a daughter, can't help. How can I add fuel to the fire?"

Siqi looked at the young lady, and he couldn't pour out the bitter taste in his mouth.After all, her guess is guesswork, before it becomes a reality, it is a sin to speak out.But if it really becomes a reality, Miss will have no room for change.

A bride who pays off debts for her father can have some respect when she arrives at her husband's house.What's more, this man's tricks are not righteous, and he usually sees a beautiful maid, and the evil in his eyes is not hidden at all, so what a good match.Miss Pian doesn't plan for herself at all, which makes her hard to tell.

"Yes, it's a servant who has overstepped." Siqi retreated sullenly, and she couldn't help but hear the little girls below talking happily about moving.

The ladies of Jia's mansion moved to the Grand View Garden, the newly built garden has a good view, and all the things in the house are new, so everyone is naturally satisfied.Even Jia Min knew about it, and gave everyone a gift, adding a festive item for the nieces to move.

"Did mother miss a share?" Daiyu had already followed Jia Min to learn how to be a housekeeper, looked at the gift list, and said with a smile.

"Who else?" Jia Min wondered, obviously it was based on the head.

"Of course there is Baoyu."

"How is it possible? At his current age, I'm afraid he will move to the front yard." Baoyu is already fourteen, a year older than Daiyu, and it's too unpleasant to hang out in the back house, even if it's his own sister.

Daiyu didn't speak. Her mother thought it was impossible, but she knew it was possible.Jia's mother was so used to Baoyu that she was already out of the sky. In Jia's mother's eyes, Baoyu was still a child at fourteen, a child more pure than a baby.

Although Jia Min said it was impossible, he still sent someone to Jia's mansion to ask.The woman who came back whispered: "Second Master Bao is going to move too. The old lady said that they are still young, so it's okay to move out in a year or two."

Jia Min fell back angrily, "Confused, confused. There are still girls who have not left the court at home, how can you be so confused."

"Mother prepares gifts, so why not get angry, anyway, it's someone else's business." Daiyu drew up the gift list in a moment, and presented it to Jia Min, "Mother, take a look, but it's still worth it."

"That's it, it's already good." Jia Min's back molars were clenched, and she was also thinking in her heart, what happened to her natal family, and the things she did next became more and more outrageous.

The daughter's sentence is someone else's business anyway, which made her sigh inwardly.But he couldn't blame his daughter, he could only scold Mrs. Wang in his heart, and decided that she was playing a demon.

Jia Min handed over the gift giving to Madam Su, and it was rare that she didn't take advantage of it to run to her mother's house.Even Lin Ruhai was surprised, "Madam, why don't you go back and have a look, I heard that the garden is well maintained, let's take a stroll."

"Look what the master said, is my eyelid so shallow? A garden is enough to attract me. I haven't seen any good gardens in Yangzhou." What Jia Min said is that in the boundary of Yangzhou, there are rich businessmen gathered, and they like to compare themselves. The garden at home is fresh and elegant, with a luxurious atmosphere, and I have never seen anything like it.

"Ma'am, it's because my husband didn't build such a garden for you." Lin Ruhai smiled straightforwardly, which made Jia Min laugh too.

"What did the lord say, am I the one who has no eyesight?" Although Lin Ruhai is not as good as a lord's family, he is highly valued by the emperor. If Jia Min throws money regardless, wouldn't it be that he has given the political opponent a handle.People of their kind, unlike the lord, were destined to live in a different way.

"My daughter is getting older, and our family doesn't have much wealth in Jinling. Take advantage of the past few years to visit the shop and Zhuangzi, and pick up suitable ones. The daughter is getting older, and the son is not too young. Madam will be exhausted these days." Don't worry." He said and took out a small box from his sleeve.

Jia Min opened it and saw that it was a silver note of 10 taels. His heart pounded and his mouth felt dry.

"Master, you also know that our family's wealth is not short of silver. Besides, you are well, more important than silver."

Seeing her holding his hand excitedly, Lin Ruhai's heart warmed up, and he couldn't help holding her hand instead, rubbing it gently on the back of her hand, "Don't worry, it's the fourth master's favor. When I was in Yangzhou, , Raised military pay for him."

Only then did Jia Min pat his chest, and looked at him angrily, "Master scared me to death."

This is what Lin Ruhai likes most about Jia Min.After all, she is a lady from the Duke's Mansion, and she doesn't take gold and silver things as her top priority.She never urged Lin Ruhai to go outside to fish for money and come back, even if Lin Ruhai sent it back, she would ask again and again.He even secretly persuaded him not to make trouble outside.

Compared with the wives of some colleagues, I wish the master would come back with a silver mountain and a golden sea. His eyesight is so shallow that he will accept a gift, regardless of whether it is something he can do.Lin Ruhai felt more and more that his father-in-law treated him really well back then.

As far as the position he stayed in, if he really married someone with shallow eyelids, and there was a big relative who wanted to climb up to share a piece of the pie, he might not be able to sit in peace until now.

Although the Yue family has done a lot of stupid things in recent years, they have maintained their identity and never troubled him, or asked him to do something that he couldn't do.Therefore, he tolerated what happened to the Yue family by three points and didn't care about it.

Jia Min was busy buying the family business, and Daiyu was busy staring at Sun Shaozu.Finally when the news came, Jia Amnesty didn't dare bring the embarrassing matter to Jia's mother, and had already written the eight characters to Sun Shaozu, using his daughter to settle the debt.

This matter has been hidden from the people in Jia's mansion, and they planned to let Sun Shaozu write the marriage letter directly, and then let him invite someone to come to propose marriage, and make it look better.When the time comes, it will be useless for Mother Jia to object any more. She will not regret the marriage for an unpleasant granddaughter.

"Where is Sun Shaozu now?" Daiyu asked.

"I've been stared at, and I'm staying in the upper room of the Yunlai Inn. I heard, I heard..." Xingguo murmured for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Every night called a prostitute as a companion."

Chen Xiang "spit" again, quite dissatisfied, "Little Nizi can say everything, is this kind of thing that the young lady can listen to?"

Daiyu gave Xingguo an encouraging smile, but did not refute Chen Xiang's words.When she was born, her education was completely different from theirs.It's not something that can be changed simply, it's what you think or what you think in your heart.

"Find an opportunity to go shopping tomorrow." Daiyu was not playful, so when she mentioned that she wanted to go to the street, Jia Min agreed.

"Is it okay to wait a few days? My mother has made an appointment to go out to see some Zhuangzi in the past few days." Jia Min discussed with her daughter.

"I'm just going out for a stroll. There are so many people following me. What are you afraid of?" Daiyu begged a few words, and Jia Min agreed. Besides the mother-in-law and maidservants, she went to the front yard and ordered a few housekeepers. The guard follows the car.

I also told the coachman that I was not allowed to go to other places, but I just walked around Qianmen Street and came back after shopping.

The Yunlai Inn is near Qianmen Street. As soon as Daiyu got off the bus, she went to a silk forging shop. The items in this shop were only middle-class and low-grade, and they were still selling at reduced prices because of slow sales.The mother-in-law said flatteringly: "Miss, the things here may not suit your eyes. I know some good ones, why don't you go there and have a look."

Even Chen Xiang might not be interested in the things here, not to mention Miss.Unexpectedly, Daiyu shook her head, "I just came out for shopping, and it's not that I have to buy something, just to see the price of people's livelihood."

That said, it's true, the mother-in-law didn't dare to stop her, she walked carefully on the left side to prevent people from bumping into the young lady.

Sun Shaozu listened to the clerk at the inn, and felt that it was just right. When he went to Jia's mansion to propose a marriage, he always prepared a gift box.Where is he willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, naturally the cheaper the better.He picked the cheapest and most fancy forge and asked for four.Just as he was about to pay, he saw a pretty girl getting off the carriage outside.

The eyebrows and eyes are as elegant and clear as ink mountains and fresh water, the nose is bright and the lips are fresh, like morning dew hanging on the branches.The most wonderful thing is a pair of talking eyes, as smart as a deer jumping in the forest.

Sun Shaozu's heart was like a cat scratching, and his face also showed an intoxicated look.When the woman in front saw it, she gave a "bah" immediately, "Where did you come from, Deng Tuzi, don't go away yet."

"Hey, you woman, the young dog sees people as inferior. This is Mr. Sun. Which family do you belong to?" Sun Shaozu was accompanied by a young man, who just followed him, and it was time to express himself. Improperly stood up.

Xingguo poked out a small head from Daiyu's body, and said timidly: "You, what do you want to do, we, we are relatives of Rongguo Mansion."

Not the Lin family, only mentioning the Rongguo Mansion, not even Chen Xiang with him, just to lure him into being fooled.

Sure enough, it was good not to listen to the Rongguo Mansion, but after hearing the name of the Rongguo Mansion, Sun Shaozu was certain that these people were distant and poor relatives of the Rongguo Mansion.He secretly thought, if he mentioned it to Jia She, he might be able to take this girl to go with him, and share the blessings of Qiren, so happy.

When the boy heard this, he was also happy, and his attitude was even more arrogant, "That's a good relationship. We, Mr. Sun, are the son-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion. No way, we still need to get close."

The old woman was in a hurry, and when she was about to reply, the young lady grabbed the corner of her clothes from behind and whispered: "Don't talk, when I say you're mad, you go straight up and slap him."

After Daiyu finished exhorting, she opened her mouth, "How is it possible, the sisters in the Rongguo Mansion have not discussed marriage, so don't fool people." The voice was soft and cowardly, without any lethality.

Sun Shaozu wanted to talk to her more, and said with a smile: "Which family does my sister belong to, and what is the relationship with Rongguo Mansion, so I can take care of my relatives in the future. As for whether it is true or not, you will know in a few days."

"I don't believe it. Look at the forgings you bought. Even the women in the Rongguo Mansion don't bother to wear them. You are so poor and want to marry a girl from the Rongguo Mansion. I think you are wishful thinking. You must have lost your mind. You are really angry. I'm dead, it's rare to come out and meet such a lunatic."

The mother-in-law stepped forward and slapped Sun Shaozu without warning.Seeing his master being humiliated, the boy jumped up with a groan.Xingguo went out early and called the guards. In an instant, several guards rushed forward, and the mother-in-law and Xingguo protected Daiyu and got into the car.The guards beat up Sun Shaozu, threw him to the intersection, and walked away.

Looking at the three carriages traveling and the emblem of the Lin family above, Sun Shaozu knew that this was a poor relative of the Rongguo Mansion.This is an official relative of the Rongguo Mansion, the family member of Lin Ruhai, a famous celebrity in front of the emperor.

The boy who was also beaten was clamoring to report to the police, but was kicked up by Sun Shaozu, cursing and yelling that he was unlucky.

I can't figure out how the female relatives of the Lin family came to visit this kind of shop, and they only brought a woman and a maid into the shop.But he was offended if he couldn't figure it out, and he only hoped to get married later, relying on Jia Amnesty to mediate and erase this section.

Daiyu sneered in the car, Chen Xiang had asked someone to go to the inn to find the Geng Post, and delivered it to the young lady, it was the time to welcome the spring.

When she got home, Daiyu drove everyone out, rubbed her ink and began to write.She has been learning calligraphy since she was a child, and she can draw a single stroke, which is not a great thing, but she can meet people.You can also learn good handwriting, which is quite handy.

But no one knew that she was left-handed in her previous life, and later forced herself to learn to write with her right hand.Therefore, she can write with both hands on her left hand.In this life, with a little practice, she can also practice calligraphy and painting with her left and right hands, and she can't tell that it was written by one person at all.

Her left hand is good at imitating, after imitating the Geng Tie, it was like throwing the original Geng Tie into the brazier and burning it clean.Then put this new Geng sticker on the table to dry, and only wait for Jia Min to go home before suing.

Jia Min came back very early, and heard from the mother-in-law that the young lady returned within half an hour after going out, and before she called her daughter to ask, Daiyu had already come by herself.

"What's the matter?" The daughter's eyes were red, and her sleeves were wrinkled, as if she had been bullied.

"Mother, my daughter is dead..." She flung herself into Jia Min's arms regardless, crying loudly.

Jia Min didn't understand, and quickly called Xingguo in, "What's the matter, so many of you are asked to follow the lady, are you all eating dry food?" Angrily, Xingguo hurriedly said.

Xingguo's tongue is very slippery, "... staring at Miss non-stop, we were annoyed, and scolded him, he actually said that he is the son-in-law of Rongguo Mansion, no one dared. He even said with a shy face that he would take care of Miss , go and pull the lady's sleeve."

"Bah, what nonsense, nonsense, come here, go and invite the master, this shameless bastard has gone against the sky." Jia Min trembled angrily, called the people who went out, and scolded them all.It was Daiyu who stopped her, saying that if it wasn't for their protection, she wouldn't be able to get away, not to mention that she had more important things to do.

After handing over the Geng post in his hand, Jia Min opened it and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"It fell from his body when the guard beat him. Xingguo was clever and picked it up."

Jia Min looked again, "This is, this is Tanchun's horoscope."

Daiyu wondered, "It turned out to be true. I just thought he was talking nonsense, but I didn't expect it to be true."

She is younger than Yingchun and Tanchun, so it's normal that she doesn't know their horoscopes.

Jia Min was stunned. He hadn't heard that the nieces were discussing marriage, and the object of the marriage negotiation was such a sexual embryo, how could it be possible.

Lin Ruhai was urged back from the yamen by his family, panting, "What happened, are you all okay?"

The mother and daughter sat in the room well, but their expressions were not very good.When Jia Min talked about what happened today, Lin Ruhai frowned heavily, "Geng's post, bring it to me, come here, pass my post to Rongguo Mansion, just say I'll go there tomorrow."

Then he asked his daughter, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​going to that shop?"

Daiyu looked aggrieved, "Daughter has been working with her mother as a housekeeper for a while, and found that she doesn't know the economy at all, so she wants to go to the streets. The intention is not to buy anything, but to understand the price of people's livelihood. There is no need to say that she understands the price. Just look at the expensive ones, of course you need to know the basics of both the noble and the humble.”

This explanation is reasonable, Lin Ruhai nodded, "It's not that Daddy doesn't believe us Daiyu, since he is going to ask for clarification, there must be a reason."

Daiyu nodded, "Daddy, can you not let Third Sister marry him, this Sun is not a good person."

"Don't worry, Daddy will give you an explanation." Lin Ruhai was extremely loving to the child, and asked someone to help Daiyu to rest, and ordered someone to invite the imperial doctor to prescribe some soothing prescriptions for her daughter.

Daiyu drank the medicine, Xingguo secretly asked while no one was around: "There will be no mistakes over there, let's promise Miss San."

Daiyu chuckled, "How is that possible? It's strange that the second aunt would agree. That's a disaster caused by the eldest room." She was sure that the second room would never take care of the eldest room for this matter, and 100% stabbed it right away. In front of Jiamu.
