[Red House] Flowers are good jade circles

Shi Xiangyun has resumed contact with the Shi family, and Jia Qin is still her cousin, and the two sit together and talk.

"I heard that Mr. Liu brought back his wife and children from the countryside. Tomorrow, he invited someone to warm up the house. Have you received the post?" Shi Xiangyun was talking about the same year as his master Xiang Xisheng, and several people in similar circumstances People, move around very frequently.

"Got it, I was just thinking about what to give." Because of Shi Xiangyun's good relationship, Jia Qin also took this line, and often communicated with people familiar to the Xiang family.Shi Yuan has become much more pragmatic now, and Jia Qin always thinks that in a few years, when he has money in hand, he asks the adults to find him an errand to do it.It is enough to have her in business, and men should have a wider space to break through.

"Master Liu has been working hard to buy a house. Don't give fancy things, just give some practical things." Shi Xiangyun never imagined that one day the person who would give her a gift would be a few knives of bacon and a few cans of tea. can send.But even so, she was very content, it was better than staying in a small courtyard and being lonely for the rest of her life.

"There are a few bolts of fine silk forged in the store, and I would like to give two of them to Madam Liu for tailoring clothes." Jia Qin, on the contrary, is very adaptable to the current life, and it can be said that she is like a fish in water.

"That's great." Shi Xiangyun smiled, and said that the eldest of his three daughters should also talk about getting married in the past two years.

Not only them, but the rest of the guests were chatting with each other, anyway, they were all relatives and knew each other very well, so I had to take advantage of the opportunity to sit and relax for a day.

Except for Daiyu, almost no one talked to Grandma Xue.It's really that Grandma Xue is too unexpected for everyone. If she has prepared a lot, there is almost no way to use it.

For example, on such occasions, one always asks everywhere in Xianxiang what parents and brothers do for a living.When we got to her place, through Baochai's interjection, it became a taboo.

Then ask what books you usually read and what you do for entertainment.It seems that there is no need to ask.

"The flowers bloom really well, and the wild flowers on the mountain are also beautiful, but they don't grow so big and so rich." Shanhuai grabbed a peony, inserted it into the bun, and took a golden step from the bun. It came down and threw it to the maid beside her, "Put it away, it's dangling, it makes people get headaches."

If it was really thrown, I just threw it with my hands, and the maid rushed forward to catch it with both hands, seeing the maid's aggrieved but not surprised expression, it shouldn't be the first time this happened.

"Sister-in-law." Baochai gave her a sideways glance, and Grandma Xue immediately raised her hand and said, "Okay, okay, I won't throw it away anymore."

When she was leaving, Jia Qin waited for Daiyu on purpose, and said with a smile, "I don't know when my aunt will be free, I want to go and ask for her." call.

Speaking of which, the Lin family and Jia Qin didn't have such a deep relationship, but with her persistent walking, it was finally right for Jia Min's taste.Every time I come here to talk about new things in the market and bring some new gadgets, every time I coax Jia Min to smile.

"I'll go back and ask for you, and then I'll ask someone to post for you." Daiyu also liked her cleverness, she knew her identity very clearly, even if she was shrewd, she was shrewd so that people would not be bored.

After a few days, Jia Qin came over and brought news about Grandma Xue.

"I heard that when Xue Pan went out to do business, he missed Sutou, walked the mountain road in the middle of the night, and was taken to the mountain by the hero of the cottage. The king of the cottage is the current Grandma Xue Shanhuai. I must be used to it." Xue Pan was eager to get away, so he had no choice but to agree. When they got married, he didn't know how to persuade the king of the mountain to surrender to the local government voluntarily. Xue Pan intervened and managed to keep the people in the village safe. Those who were incorporated and those who could not be incorporated, Xue Pan bought fertile land and asked them to cultivate it. Everyone thought it was a way to escape, but unexpectedly, he brought Shanhuai back to his hometown On the genealogy, I really treat her as the head lady."

Jia Min was speechless, "Well, Mrs. Xue just let him mess around?"

"Mother, the emperor, the general, and the prime minister are all kind. There is nothing wrong with a woman, and a wife is as expensive as her husband. I think Grandma Xue is just unconventional and lacks etiquette. She is not a bad person." No matter how much Daiyu pretended , the soul of a modern person is destined to have a different view from theirs, and the degree of acceptance of such things is much higher.

"You are young, you don't know the seriousness, what does the king of the mountain do, murder and looting are all kinds of crimes." Jia Min felt that he was challenged, such a person would squeeze into the circle of relatives around him, and he was terrified to think about it.

"I don't understand these things, I just heard it after dinner. Let's take it as a joke. Anyway, the grandma of the Xue family doesn't walk around outside, so it's rare to meet her in the future." Jia Qin changed the subject calmly, Picking it up, Jia Min loved to listen and said: "My younger brother is getting old, and he is not an imperial examination material. He followed me to help in the shop, purchase and ship goods, and ran as far as the Northwest. Buying a dowry must require someone to run errands. My younger brother, among other things, is quite honest, and if you have any errands, you can just tell me."

Jia Min really likes to hear these words. The Lin family is good in everything, but there are few people.Although there are many people who are troubled by many people, but few people are indeed a worry.Especially for the dowry, how can it be so simple and convenient to go to other places.The tangled lotus that was ordered in advance may be found to be out of stock, or there may be better ones.The manager only seeks to be on the safe side in handling affairs, and in many cases, he dare not make decisions without authorization.

If it's a member of your own family, even if it's a relative, it's always more convenient to do things than manage things.

"Okay, then I'll thank you first." Jia Min narrowed her eyes with a smile, and put aside the matter of Grandma Xue before.

There are several major items in the dowry, one is clothes embroidery, including a full set of bedding on the bed, the embroiderer has been invited to live in Yulan Courtyard to catch up with the work, and the other is furniture, the wood has also been laid down and people are hired to make it.There are two other places, one is gold and silver jewelry, and the other is indoor decoration.

Gold and silver jewelry does not only refer to hairpins and rings, but also rouge, gouache, and incense.Jia Min has already saved some of these, but he still wants to go to the fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River to pick up some of the latest styles.

Indoor decorations include ancient rare books, landscape paintings, porcelain vases, chime bells, bonsai and so on.Jia Min wants people to go to the Guangdong area to see if there are any novelties, and to collect some back.

There were even more odds and ends, and Jia Min wished he could stretch out his eight hands to help, as there are plenty of hands.

Everyone is busy, but Daiyu is idle.Her embroidery skills are average, and she never thought of embroidering dowry by herself.He only embroidered a few handkerchiefs with needles, after all, he had to embroider the things for Hongyun himself.

After being honest for a few days, Ulan came back to life, and posted a post to Daiyu, asking her to eat lotus leaf chicken.The prescription was written by Daiyu to her, and after taking it back and tossing it a few times, she felt that she was the best, so she wanted to show off to the master.

"It's sealed in mud, and it's still steaming hot when I open it. I made ten chickens at once, but I didn't even get a single chicken leg, and they were all divided up. Especially Ama, it's not finished after eating." , but said it was a beggar chicken."

They made an appointment to meet outside, Ulan Gege complained while cracking open the mud shell.

"Beggar chicken, you, Ama, really said that." Daiyu cried out, ignoring the smell of the lotus-leaf chicken.

"That's right, I knew you would get angry if I said it. I am like this, I can't be angry with him." Ulan Gege waved his hands openly, looking devastated and helpless.

"I'm not angry, it's just, it's just strange." Daiyu's heart had already turned into a huge wave, and she had always had some doubts in her heart. Now, there is no need to doubt, he must have come from the same place as herself.

With this feeling in mind, she couldn't hear what Ulan Gege said again.

"He's dead, he's dead..." Suddenly there was a roaring noise from below, and Ulan Gege quickly opened the window.Their private room faced the street, with the windows open, they could clearly see the things below.

A woman was wearing a riding outfit, holding the reins of the horse in one hand, and whipping a man who fell to the ground with a whip in the other.The man was rolled over by him, he was in a mess.There were some onlookers, but none of them went to pull it, and there were more cheers.

"What's going on here, hurry up and ask." Ulan looked happy, and immediately asked the girl to inquire.As a result, the girl hadn't run down yet, Xingguo had already run up.

"Miss, the next two people, guess who they are?" Xingguo was still holding a handful of melon seeds, and Daiyu could almost imagine that she was eating melon seeds, sitting with her legs crossed and basking in the sun at the door of someone's shop , when he joined a group of middle-aged women to listen to the gossip, his eyes were shining.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I'll wear this for you if you've made a good deal." Upon hearing this, Ulan Gege took off the coral string in his hand and waved at the apricot fruit.

Xingguo hurriedly blessed, "Don't dare to miss Ge Ge's good things, the maid is just talking to the young lady for fun, because these two are acquaintances. The one riding the horse is the eldest grandma of the Xue family, and she was whipped all over the floor. The rolling one is Sun Shaozu who is married to the eldest lady of Huangshang Xia's family."

It turned out to be these two people, Daiyu was also stunned, how could there be a quarrel between them.Xingguo did not disappoint, and said with a small mouth: "Your maidservant is really serious, the grandma of the Xue family must have lost her way, got off her horse to ask for directions, and was picked up by Sun Shaozu. She didn't know what she said, so she just He was whipped to the ground by Grandma Xue. However, all the onlookers said that Sun Shaozu is not a good person, and the one nearby, so what, the slaves didn't hear clearly."

Daiyu knew that she didn't hear clearly, and she was afraid she was embarrassed to say it in front of them, so she didn't reveal it right away, and raised her voice, "Bai Lu, go down and greet Grandma Xue, and if she rushes back, point her out." If you don’t hurry back, invite her to come up and sit down.”

The one in the back, sit and sit, was an impromptu addition because of Ulan Gege's look of anticipation.

Grandma Xue put away her whip and went upstairs. Seeing Daiyu's hearty laugh, she cupped her fists and said, "Where do we never meet again in life? I never thought we would meet again so soon."

The words were a bit nondescript, so Dai Yu pretended not to hear it, and introduced for her, "This is Wulan Gege from the residence of the Thirteenth Master, and this is Grandma Xue from the Royal Merchant Xue's family."

"Gege, then you are the princess, oh my god, I can actually see the princess, so should I kowtow?" Grandma Xue's eyes sparkled, making Ulan Gege laugh out loud on the spot.

"It was supposed to kowtow, but Ben Gege excused you." Ulan asked the staff to come up to clear the table and re-arrange the dishes.

"That's a good thing." Grandma Xue sat down generously, then asked the waiter to serve wine, and said very chicly: "I invite you."

Daiyu suppressed a smile, "Thank you, Grandma Xue."

"Did you really come down from the mountain?" Ulan Gege asked the next sentence, it seems that gossip is everywhere.

"That's right." Grandma Xue didn't hesitate at all. She was dressed in a bright red riding outfit, and her hair was tied behind her head with a wooden comb from Suihan Sanyou, without any jewelry.Put the whip aside and put your hands on the table, so that people can see clearly.A pair of rough hands is completely different from those of their young ladies raised in deep boudoir.

"It turned out to be true, then have you ever killed someone?" Ulan Gege was very excited, seeing her expression almost threw herself into his arms.

Grandma Xue pursed her lips, and said disdainfully: "We also have rules, as long as money, we will not kill people, let alone rob women. However, if they want to kill people, I will not spare them." She also kills by default.

"Why are you so powerful, please teach me." Ulan Gege has already pulled her sleeve, wanting to learn from her.

"Ulan, since Grandma Xue has come to Jinling, she can no longer act as before. Now she has a husband's family, a mother-in-law and a husband to take care of, so don't cause trouble for her." Daiyu had to interrupt, and rushed Zhuo Shanhuai said: "She's just talking casually, don't mind."

Grandma Xue said impatiently: "I know, I know, you don't need to explain, you also have your rules. If you break the rules, you won't be able to get married, and you are no better than me, and you have nowhere to snatch it, so I don't blame you. "

Dare to love Xue Pan is really his husband who snatched up the mountain, and was confirmed by the person inadvertently. Daiyu didn't know whether she should lament her good luck.

"What happened just now, why did he provoke you." Ulan had long forgotten that this Sun Shaozu had a relationship with her once.

"This man has a dirty mouth, he thinks I'm easy to deceive." Grandma Xue mentioned Sun Shaozu with a look of contempt.She doesn't know the way, and indeed she doesn't understand the rules of Jinling, but she is the king of the mountain who dominates one side, and dozens of people are in charge of her, so how could she be deceived by others as an ignorant young woman.

"Of course this person is good at fighting, but there are too many dignitaries in Jinling. In the future, when Grandma Xue goes out, it's better to bring a maid with her." , wouldn't it be a disadvantage.

It was the first time for Daiyu to meet such a person in this era.No matter what the relationship between them is, she is willing to see a woman live so recklessly.Xianyi Numa could also be a woman, this feeling is quite good.

"I see, alas..." Grandma Xue lay faceless on the table, like an eagle trapped in a cage, looking extremely anxious.

"The life here is different from before, but your identity is different, you will get used to it slowly." Daiyu felt sorry for her. When she first came here, she was also anxious and anxious all the time. go back.If it wasn't for the impending crisis of the Lin family that distracted her, she might have reacted worse than Grandma Xue.

"No one has ever told me this before. Everyone just thinks I'm a monster. If you look at me from a distance, you don't even dare to breathe when you get close, as if I can eat people." Grandma Xue sighed. Pan also wanted to take her out to socialize, but unfortunately every time she failed, she was too lazy to go out in the end.

"For a lady who doesn't leave the door and doesn't go out, there is no difference between killing people and cannibalism. They can't imagine it anyway." Daiyu covered her mouth and chuckled. It is difficult for people in the two worlds to understand each other. , this is not anyone's fault.

"But you don't think I'm a monster."

"There are always different types, or stupid and bold." Daiyu stopped the jug, "If you like it, take a jug home and drink slowly. Drinking alone outside is against the rules."

"This is also a rule, and that is also a rule. It's really depressing." Grandma Xue was indeed depressed and dying.

"Rules are dead, but people are alive. The rule is that it is best for women not to drink alcohol. After a change, you can close the door and drink with your husband, or you can invite three or five people who have the same hobbies as you to drink slowly. But in front of others, the rules that should be obeyed must always be followed. The more you ignore the rules, the more the rules will restrict you and make it difficult for you to move forward. Instead of doing that, it is better to think about how to make the rules more beneficial to yourself.” These words and the previous speech What Ulan Gege said has the same effect.

Ulan nodded immediately, "Really, I used to hate learning the rules, but after listening to Sister Lin's words, I learned the rules well, stuck to the rules and talked about things, Erniang never said anything about me again."

"Then I'll listen to you." Grandma Xue was inspired, and immediately became more motivated, and the rules that made her afraid of tigers seemed not so annoying.

The conversation here was in full swing, while Sun Shaozu slipped back in disgrace.Ever since Xia Jingui fell out of favor with Master Jiu, their husband and wife have no use value. Now Xia Jingui finds Sun Shaozu an eyesore no matter what he thinks.

"Why, I was beaten by a little widow. Is it because I didn't give enough money this month? The door is half-closed, and the door is half-closed. What kind of women are you pretending to be? I don't know how many people in Jinling City have become brothers-in-law. I have the nerve to learn from you. Let someone take care of the outer room, and pay filial piety every month." Xia Jingui came as soon as he opened his mouth, without any scruples.

Sun Shaozu's face turned red, how could he not be aggrieved, she was obviously his daughter-in-law, but she didn't let him touch her at all, she just went to sleep with Lord Jiu, but now she couldn't sleep, and she took it out on him every day.Wear the green hat as long as you wear it, and you won't get any benefits in the end.

If it wasn't for this marriage being brought about by Lord Jiu, he would have long wished to divorce this woman.At this moment, she could only lie down on the bed like a dead body, and she would say whatever she wanted, just not making a sound.

Xia Jingui had enough of scolding, and went back to the house to match the clothes and jewelry for tomorrow, "Tomorrow there will be people from the royal merchant Xue's family, so they must dress more grandly."

"What do you think of this apricot red brocade peony patterned shirt with this golden skirt sprinkled with flowers, a pearl tiara, jade earrings and a bracelet?" The maid tried her best to come up with an idea.

"The change of the cat's eye stone." Xia Jingui was satisfied, and the next day she was fully dressed, and met Grandma Xue who was going out with Xue Pan.

This was the first time Xia Jingui saw Xue Pan. He saw a tall and heroic man walking towards her. His appearance did not meet the current aesthetics. He was a bit too strong and full of masculine hormones.But for some people, it has a fatal attraction.

Such as Shan Dawang Shanhuai, such as Xia Jingui.

Xia Jingui felt her heart skipped a beat, and then it started beating endlessly.It turns out that the eldest son of the Xue family of the imperial merchant is such a character, why didn't she know it at all before?For no reason, she felt remorse.

What lent money to Jia's family to build a garden, what to seek refuge with Master Jiu, are all passing by.If she had seen Xue Pan earlier, none of this might have happened.Seeing Grandma Xue beside Xue Pan, Xia Jingui narrowed her eyes slightly.

If it were a different person, faced with this situation, they might just sigh a few words, and then shed tears and said that when they hated to meet each other when they were not married, Huanjun Pearl shed tears, and that's all.

But that was someone else, not Xia Jingui.For Xia Jingui, what you want is what you have to get.Master Jiu is the prince, and Jiu Fujin is the daughter-in-law of the royal family. She can't afford to offend any of them and can only accept her fate.But Xue Pan is not, and Grandma Xue is not. These two people are not enough for her to accept her fate.

"Master Xia, I have admired him for a long time." Xue Pan clasped his fists, a merchant family, not so strict with men and women.If the men in the family are not capable enough, women can also come forward.For example, the Xia family only had one daughter, and the husband she married was not promising enough. No one thought it was wrong for her to continue to show her face.

"I don't dare to be the long-time admirer of the head of Xue, but I have long-term respect for your husband and wife. Thinking about it, I often went to Jia's mansion before, and I had a few encounters with Lingmei, which is impressive. I have only seen Xue until now." It’s really embarrassing to think about it.”

Hearing her mention of her younger sister, Xue Pan grinned, "Everyone praises her."

It's true that there are few people who don't like Xue Baochai, Xia Jingui also admitted that she doesn't like this or that, but Xue Baochai is very pleasing to her eyes, it seems that they are really destined.

"This is my sister-in-law, right? She's just as described, with a heroic appearance." Xia Jingui took Grandma Xue's hand, accidentally touched the calluses on her palm, and smiled inwardly, but she didn't know it on the surface. Keep praising her.

Grandma Xue smiled brightly, became friends with her without any scheming, and turned her bottom to the bottom.Xia Jingui's smile became even sweeter, such a fool who is easy to deceive, is able to marry Xue Pan, what a fool is blessed.

It's a pity that after meeting her, this blessing will come to an end.
