[Red House] Flowers are good jade circles

Mrs. Wang, as the host, naturally looked angry, "What do you mean? Could it be that the lady in the banquet and your son can't accept it privately. The banquet is full of relatives and women of your own family. You are putting us in a where."

Jia Min said indifferently: "It's no wonder that my sister-in-law is angry. Who wouldn't be angry if she changed it? Good young master, there are servants following him when he goes in and out. How can he get a hairpin? It's incredible."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shi hurriedly defended, "Even if my son is wrong about this kind of thing, we have to find someone first, so that we can apologize." Her eyes turned to Daiyu, thinking, wait until you find out Come on, I will take good care of Joe. If you don't come to beg me and pay a generous dowry, I won't want your daughter.

"That's right, you can do such things in Rongguo Mansion, but you don't know what to do outside." Jia Min also had a cold face, staring straight at Shi Yuan. Such a person also wants to adore his daughter. , I really don't know how to live or die.

Shi Yuan's face was tense, no matter what Mrs. Shi asked, he refused to say a word.He just stared at his feet and clenched his fists tightly.He made up his mind that he can't say anything now, but let his mother go to the Lin family to propose marriage tomorrow, and forget about it.

Seeing that Shi Yuan didn't speak, Daiyu was a little surprised, this little dandy was more responsible than she imagined.But in today's play, he is just a supporting role, and his fate is not in his hands.

"What a rare white jade hairpin, can I just ask who lost it? Maybe cousin Yuan picked it up, and I don't know what to do?" Daiyu shook the round fan lightly, and said slowly.

Mrs. Shi's eyes moved slightly, she only knew that she was in a hurry, and suddenly she felt relieved, feeling more and more that she was in control of her.

"Yuan'er, you really picked up this hairpin." Mrs. Shi asked her son.

Shi Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his mother lifted it up and let it go gently, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I picked it up. I was trying to find a private opportunity to give it to Aunt Wang to return it on my behalf, but my sister accidentally ripped it off." come out."

"Since this is the case, that's just right. We also lost a filigree and sapphire-encrusted bracelet in Jia's house far away. Why don't you help me find it and see if anyone picks it up and returns it to me. "Mrs. Shi looked at her son with a half-smile, and the meaning in her eyes seemed to say, you deliberately put the things in your arms when you went out, do you think I don't know?"

"Why are there so many things to pick up?" Someone asked stupidly, and was dragged down by the sleeves.He covered his mouth and warned, "You won't be able to suffocate you if you don't talk."

"Dare to ask Aunt Shi Jia, what if someone picks it up, and what if someone doesn't pick it up." Daiyu chuckled, this matter must be real.

"This is passed down from our historians, and it was left to our daughter-in-law from generation to generation. What do you want me to say, it is naturally a generous gift." Mrs. Shi showed disdain, and such things were spread before marriage, even if she married in, she would be shameless. You have to be submissive.At that time, it will be a matter of course to use the dowry to supplement the family.

"That's great. This bracelet was picked up by our sister Qin. Aunt Shi Jia should hurry up and give it a generous gift." Daiyu turned to look at Jia Qin, their eyes met, and it was clear.Jia Qin knew what she was going to do before she came, and she fought for it herself.In the current environment, Shi Yuan is the best marriage she can seek, even if there is something rumored before the marriage, and it will be covered up afterwards, after a few years, who will remember this trivial matter.

She knew exactly what she should do, took out the bracelet from her bosom, and said in a soft voice: "I don't know if it's this one, but I just picked it up by chance, and now I'm returning it to Zhao."

Both Mrs. Shi and Shi Yuan's expressions changed. Shi Yuan looked at Lin Daiyu bewilderedly. He thought it was Daiyu's plan to escape, but he wouldn't tell the truth anyway.The same goes for Mrs. Shi, who secretly called Lin Daiyu to be cunning, but she was not afraid.

With a smile on his face, he said, "I don't know where I found this girl. We stayed in the front all the time. When did you arrive in the front yard?" To tell you the truth, with this hat off, she would be ashamed to see others.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Mrs. Shi, and said dissatisfiedly, "What are you talking about? She has been sitting with Daiyu the whole time, and she hasn't gone anywhere except to change her clothes on the way." It sounded like an excuse for Jia Qin, but actually Lin Daiyu was also included.

"Then I don't understand. Could it be that the bracelet can grow long and run to the back for people to pick it up? Licorice, tell me, what's going on. Haven't you been by the young master's side all the time?"

"Ma'am, you can't talk about this here, you can't talk about it." Licorice, the servant, burst into tears, knelt down on the ground and kowtowed.

Shi Yuan looked at the licorice, kicked it up, his lips trembled in anger, and said sharply: "You dare." He finally understood why his mother took the opportunity to let him ask the girl himself, whether she would like to marry him, and what to say If you don't speak, you have the cheek to go to the door of Lin's house.

Mother must be plotting against the Lin family and Lin Daiyu, so that even if she marries her, she will bear a stigma.He looked at his mother with pleading eyes, as long as his mother stopped at this moment, everything would be in time.

"Say it, if you don't say it, you will be beaten to death on the spot." Mrs. Shi gritted her teeth, and there was an unbearable hostility in her voice.

Licorice timidly looked at Lin Daiyu, Qi Qi Ai Ai testified: "It is the young master who gave the bracelet to Miss Lin."

Everyone was shocked, and Jia Min spat on the spot, "Nonsense." Looking at Mrs. Shi's eyes was like being stabbed.

"Small, I'm not talking nonsense, this white jade hairpin was given to the young master by Miss Lin's family, it's... a token of love." Licorice kicked Shi Yuan again, kicking the center of the mouth, shrinking into a ball, and spitting out a mouthful Blood comes.

Shi Yuan didn't want to stop, he kicked and yelled, "Kill you, you villain who betrayed the Lord, go to death." But he didn't know that out of anger, he confirmed the fact of sending tokens of love to each other .

Licorice opened her mouth, Mrs. Shi didn't care about his life, she just vented her anger on her son.As if the winning ticket was in his hands, he looked at Jia Min with pity, and said, "That's true, let me tell you what to say."

"Wait a minute, a young servant in love can set the reputation of the two young masters and young ladies. The Duke's Mansion is so majestic. You say this thing belongs to our Daiyu, and I'm sorry, it's someone who has never seen a good thing. Believe it. This kind of white jade is used in our family, that is, when we are rewarding people, and it has never been inserted into the head of the master. Let me ask, Shi Yuan saw our Daiyu with his own eyes, and you gave the bracelet face to face. She sent a hairpin?"

Jia Min sternly grabbed Shi Yuan, she had always been a good-natured person, it was because her life was smooth and there was never anything worth worrying about.But when things really happen, how could the daughter of the Duke's family who grew up, the wife of a second-rank official, really have sex with you.

Shi Yuan dawdled and refused to speak, Jia Min snorted coldly, "That's okay, if you're arrested, you'll just see the official, and if you want to, you'll have to talk about it."

"You don't need to tell me, is there any mark on this hairpin?" Jia Min's hand almost pointed to Mrs. Shi's face. Mrs. Shi took a look and found the word "qin" under the lotus flower .

He frowned and said: "What's the matter, some shops like to print their own shop's logo on it, it's not surprising."

There was an exclamation from the crowd, "Sister Qin's jewelry, isn't it all engraved with the word Qin?" After speaking, she seemed to realize that she had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly covered her eyes with a handkerchief, too frightened to say another word .

Jia Qinfu, who was holding the bracelet, saluted. Although he didn't speak, this attitude also expressed his acquiescence.

Shi Yuan said at this time, "Impossible, why is it you, not you, not you."

"You don't even see the face of the things you give away." Jia Min said sarcastically.

"It's through the window, but it can't be wrong, how could it be her." The person who sent the message clearly told her that it was this room, so it couldn't be wrong.

"The third room in the west wing, isn't it?" Daiyu suddenly said, Shi Yuan nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of hope again.

"That's right, our lady went to the East Wing to change clothes, and I was there to serve, never leaving anyone. Miss Qin and Miss Mei went to the West Wing, Miss Qin was the latest to come back, and there was a hair missing from her bun. The hairpin, the maid thought she put it away, so she didn't say anything." Xingguo stood up when she saw that the fire was coming.

"The girls in Miss San's yard, just ask anyone about it, they all know about it." Xingguo added another sentence.

Jia Qin's body was on the verge of falling, and she looked at Shi Yuan with tears in her eyes, "Young master himself said that he fell in love at first sight, and his love was deeply rooted. He took the ancestral bracelet as a token, and went to our house to propose marriage tomorrow. This hairpin and the bracelet in my hand It is a set, each with a qin character as an inscription. It was custom-made for me by my mother before she passed away."

Jia Min hid her mouth and laughed, "Oh, the relationship is mutual gratification. Anyway, they are two families with similar backgrounds. I will announce the good news to the old lady. This is a happy event." Biting the word "happy event" very seriously, she looked at Shi The eldest lady's eyes were full of sarcasm.

"Let's go." When Mrs. Shi said this, she almost bit her tongue off.

Shi Yuan's face was pale, and he couldn't help looking at Daiyu, only to see that she was smiling very happily.Maybe he felt his gaze, turned his head and looked at him, his eyes were like ice, and he felt cold all over.

"Everyone in Shi Guogong's mansion has come here to bully me. The second sister-in-law doesn't care about this matter, and I have to take care of it. My surname is Jia. I will add 500 taels to this girl's dowry, and my sister-in-law can figure it out." Jia Min rushed to the Wang family. After leaving this sentence, he took his daughter and the three daughters of the Jia family and left.

After sending the three Jia's daughters home, Jia Min locked herself in the house as soon as she got back, and didn't even see her daughter.Daiyu sighed slightly, and went in with the porridge.

"Mother, in fact, this is also good. Instead of giving them a chance to embarrass Jingyu and father in the future, it is better to make a decision once and for all." Anyone with a discerning eye can see this. Wang helped outsiders to plot against her sister-in-law. Go, Jia Min doesn't help her any more and no one dares to say that she is wrong.

"Jing Yu and your father won't make things difficult. The two of them will tear each other apart at worst. Who is afraid that the other will fail. She knows that the face of her daughter's family is the most important, but she picks on you. It's just a bet that we don't dare to speak up. Suffering from being dumb. I will not be able to be kind to her in this matter, if I don’t bring Jia Qin, three media and six hires into their Shi Guogong’s mansion, I will take her surname.”

Jia Min went back to her natal home the next day, took no one with her, and directly sold 500 taels, saying in front of the old lady and second brother that it was a dowry for that girl Jia Qin to marry into the Shi family.Mother Jia vaguely knew that something happened yesterday, but she didn't know that it had reached this point.

"My sister-in-law was joking. Everyone said that the runner is a concubine. They just give and accept concubines privately. How can they be wives?" Wang said with a half-hearted smile. She still needs to mediate in this matter. Mrs. Shi Then came a message that at most I would accept her as a concubine, never as a wife.

"Second sister-in-law's words are ridiculous. The Jia family's daughter was taken to a relative's house as a concubine. My own daughter's surname is Lin. I feel ashamed. There are a few unmarried ladies in Rongguo Mansion. If word spreads, do you want to be a human being? Although this The matter is a matter between the Jia family and the Shi family. I cannot allow a person with a foreign surname to talk too much, but I must not blame my sister-in-law. Let me say one more thing. The young master of the Shi family also brought a token from his ancestors when he went out to sit, saying that they were not premeditated, and only A kind person like my sister-in-law will believe it. I, who treat a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart, think too much."

"Who said you are from a foreign surname, you are the meat that fell out of my stomach, the daughter of the Duke's mansion, no more expensive than anyone else. Anyone in the family who dares to show you face and can't tolerate you will beat you out with a stick. I also If I’m not dead, I won’t tolerate my daughter, and when I’m dead, I’ll be bullied.” Mother Jia’s words were extremely unreasonable, like a eccentric old woman, but no one dares to say no Even Jia Zheng had no choice but to kneel down and plead guilty.

Jia Min felt sore, she knew that her mother must have understood that this matter had something to do with her, but she couldn't say clearly that Mrs. Wang was plotting against her sister-in-law.Because in this way, what has become of Baoyu is not embarrassing.I can only hide this section, and support my daughter for no reason. Anyway, my sister-in-law makes it difficult for my sister-in-law, and everyone can say it.

"But this is the matter of the historians after all. If they..." Wang pleaded guilty, but still insisted on being a concubine and refused to let go.Anyway, she didn't have a biological daughter to marry, so she wasn't afraid.

"Since my sister-in-law has insisted that the daughter of the Jia family can be a concubine, I have nothing to say. But where the clansman is, please try my best to comfort her." After taking a deep look at Mrs. Wang, she even said that she didn't care.

Before Jia Min left, someone reported to the hall, "In the clan, some uncles from the clan came over and said that they would not make decisions for the clan, so Jia Qin crashed to death at the gate of Rongguo Mansion."

Killing the people of the tribe, this matter can be big or small, even if it is counted as the smallest consequence, there is this bad deed.If Erfang wants to inherit the title, it is almost impossible.

Wang's face turned pale, obviously understanding the consequences.What's the use of appeasing the historian, the backyard caught fire, and her thoughts were useless.

"A few uncles please come in, Zheng'er, and tell them well, if the historian refuses to marry Qin'er, come to me and tell me in person." The old lady spoke, and Jia Zheng hurried to pick her up. I can only just respond.

No matter how much Mrs. Shi made a fuss at home, the Shi family sent official media to Jia's mansion to propose marriage.With Jia Min's addition of make-up, Wang also had to add 500 taels, his heart and soul can't wait to bleed.

Before getting married, Jia Qin came to Lin's house to thank Jia Min, and Jia Min took out a wooden box, "Speaking of this, the person who is most wronged is you, the hairpin inside is my makeup for you, and there are 500 taels underneath. You wear it close to your body and don’t tell anyone. It’s better to have some money for self-defense.”

"Auntie, what did you say? If it wasn't for the historian's plan, I wouldn't have a chance. It's just a little stigma, and it's nothing compared to living a life. I don't feel wronged at all, really." Jia Qin was very open-minded. Well, she knows what she wants, seeking benevolence and getting benevolence, the so-called stigma, in exchange for her life being stable, and in exchange for her stepmother to treat her brother well, this deal is very cost-effective.

If not, so what if she has a virtuous name, can she still be eaten with a virtuous name?

Seeing that she was determined, Jia Min's sense of guilt also slowed down a lot. Daiyu knew that she had finished speaking with her mother, so she also gave her a set of makeup as a makeup.

"You are the married daughter of the Jia family, and this marriage was facilitated by the second wife. You should be very grateful, and don't break up your relationship even from now on."

"It's natural. She is the head of the Jia family, so I naturally want to get closer to her." Jia Qin understood immediately after hearing it, and don't think that a stigmatized name can't be lifted up in the historian.Not only do you have to raise your head to be a man, but you also have to openly use Wang as a shield.

This matter was done by the two of you together, if you want to fall on someone else's head now, don't think about it again.So Jia Qin didn't have to be afraid of her, if she didn't stand up, she would just wait for Mrs. Shi to drink her blood and eat her flesh.

The two looked at each other and smiled, Jia Qin went out with the box in her arms, and wrapped the banknotes in a wooden hairpin that night. No one thought that this hairpin saved her life in the end.

Daiyu was greatly relieved to see that the two families went to the ceremony and set the wedding date in the shortest possible time.Soon after receiving a post from Ulan Gege, he asked her to go out to enjoy the flowers.

"I never thought that there is such a place in Jinling." The peony garden, the peonies in the middle are in full bloom, and the houses are similar to the Tulou in Fujian, surrounded by a circle around the peonies.The private room in the second room is equipped with glass windows, so you can see the scenery below clearly, and it is very interesting to talk, chat and eat without delaying.

Daiyu was amazed, if it wasn't for Ulan who led the way, she would definitely not be able to find it by herself.

"Of course, Jinling has everything." If I didn't go out with you, my elder brother would make arrangements along the way. I wouldn't know such a place existed.

Ulan's hand was held by Daiyu, and she hopped upstairs.Right behind them, a man cursed angrily, "It's not that I don't have money, so why don't you let me in."

"I'm sorry, sir. The Peony Garden only accepts reservations. If you don't have a reservation, you won't be able to enter. Otherwise, you can reserve one now." The clerk's voice was steady and respectful.

Xingguo looked back, her almond eyes turned upside down, "Why is this guy lingering, maybe he came with us."

Daiyu stopped when she heard this, and turned her head to see Shi Yuan standing there helplessly.To avoid Daiyu's gaze, she even lowered her head.

"People who have nothing to do with us, don't care about him." Daiyu didn't intend to find out whether he came with him or met by accident.Anyway, this person has nothing to do with him.

The voice of this sentence is not too loud, but it is enough for Shi Yuan to hear.His whole body was shaken, and he chased Daiyu's back in disbelief, but he waited until her back disappeared, and he didn't wait for her to look back.

"Brother." Ulan called out when she jumped into the private room.

Daiyu's face was not the same as before, she blushed when she heard his name.She just gave him a slight look, then cast her eyes on the peony in the garden, not looking at him.

"Recently, the diorama has brought a load of fresh overseas products. If you have time, I'll accompany you to pick them out." Hong Yun poured tea for her, and ordered a few Peony Garden's signature dishes, and gave them to Ulan. made a glance.

Ulan stood up resignedly, "I'm going to stroll in the garden, it's not fun to look at like this." After speaking, she trotted downstairs.

"You must be very angry about Shi Yuan." Hong Yun pushed the snack plate in front of her and said in a low voice.

"How do you know, it's because of..." Daiyu suddenly realized that Mrs. Shi had been at odds with Mrs. Wang for a few days because of taking a concubine or marrying a wife.Later, I didn't know what was going on with Mr. Shi, but suddenly lost his temper, and Mrs. Shi quickly settled the matter.

"I don't know how to help you, so I just told Uncle Huang." Hong Yun lowered his eyes and felt uncomfortable.If it wasn't for the Fourth Emperor Uncle, he would be almost helpless in this matter.

"It's such a big deal, how can I bother Prince Yong." After Daiyu finished speaking, Hongyun's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment, and then he smiled wryly, "That's right."

The atmosphere was condensed, and Daiyu realized that she seemed a little aggressive, and awkwardly brushed the broken hair on her forehead, "I just don't want you to beg for me, what is the status of Prince Yong, how can you go to this place for such a trivial matter?" Trouble him. I can't solve it myself, and my father, if my father can't solve it, even if you don't want to help, I will go to you."

"Why don't I help? As long as it's your family's business, no matter what you ask me to do, I will do it." Hong Yun's lips fluttered, and there was a smile in his eyes. Beat to pieces.

"However, it's not too much trouble for him. The Shi family won't be able to reach for long."

Daiyu was startled, what does it mean that she won't be able to reach for a long time? It's possible that historians are about to fall.Hongyun only returned her an innocent smile, and Daiyu tightened her mouth.It's best not to ask about this kind of thing.

"You often go to Jia's mansion with Mrs. Lin, don't you have a very good relationship with your cousins?" Hong Yun chatted seemingly unintentionally.

"It's okay, the second sister is getting married soon, and she didn't like to play with us before. The third sister is a housekeeper with Lian's second grandmother, and she is very busy. The fourth sister, Baoyu, and sister Xue are together every day. Their relationship is very good. I went, just a guest, just talking together." Daiyu didn't think she had such a good relationship with them, and Baoyu was caught in it.

"Second Master Bao of Jia's Mansion is a famous person. I heard that he was born with jade. He is also quite elegant and decent, quite different from ordinary people." Hong Yun narrowed his eyes, but he didn't see anything else. , I can only see that the boy has a good appearance.

"You can believe this kind of thing, my family coaxed the old lady to play." Daiyu sneered, she never believed the nonsense of being born with jade.I always thought that this was specially made up by Mrs. Wang in order to increase Baoyu's bargaining chip in front of the old lady.

In fact, she got her wish, because Baoyu's words made Baoyu different from others since she was a child, and the old lady would look up to her.My own grandson, who watched a lot, didn't he just love him more and more, and finally hugged him by his side and became Mrs. Wang's amulet.If not, even if Mrs. Xing is the stepmother, she is the eldest daughter-in-law, so she may not have the opportunity to be a housekeeper.
