[Red Mansion + Liaozhai] Furong repays her kindness

Jia Yuanchun's being carried into the Xining palace did not cause much controversy. In contrast, the Lin family was pushed to the forefront, but everyone who had a relationship knew that Cheng Qingcheng worshiped Lin Ruhai as his teacher, and the emperor appointed Qihou as the general of Fuzhou. Is the governor pacifying Fujian and Zhejiang to pave the way?

The old lady Cheng sat in the ancestral hall all night. The plaque in the ancestral hall was inscribed by her grandparents. It has been there since she was a grandson-in-law. Here comes her grandfather, her husband, and her son, and now it's her grandson's turn.

When the dawn was about to break, the old lady Cheng stood up and pushed open the door. Both grandchildren stood outside the door. Cheng Chengcheng was half a head taller than his younger brother, and there was a look of determination in his eyes. He said first, "One day, my grandson will Fight back to Yunnan to avenge my father."

The father's feud was irreconcilable, Yunnan rebelled, even if Qi Hou died for the country, it was difficult to hide the decline. In the end, the first emperor had no choice but to make the head of the Baiyi clan king, and the vassal town was divided.

The old lady Cheng looked at him fixedly, and said in a deep voice, "Now it's not just Yunnan. The generals of Guangdong and Guangxi have been disobedient for a long time. Although Fujian and Zhejiang were cut off by the present, how can you ensure that you can repel the pirates? Besieged on all sides , it’s hard to guarantee that it’s not a chaotic world, I don’t ask you two to be high-ranking nobles, I just want your family to be safe and sound, I’m really scared.”

Cheng Chengcheng said, "You don't understand Jinshang. He is an aspiring monarch. I am willing to follow him. Even in troubled times, I am willing to use my body as a sword to pacify this troubled world. Put an end to the affairs of the king and win fame both in life and in life."

He is not a stunned young man like Qingcheng, who only knows how to fight and kill. He made friends with the emperor when he was still the fifth prince, and the Qihou Mansion made great contributions when the emperor ascended the throne.

His father had always disapproved of the late emperor's extravagance, and he hoped that he could get along with the fifth prince, a real monarch and minister.

Cheng Chengcheng patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "If Qingcheng really wants to join the army, go to Fuzhou with me. Being by my side is always safer than coming alone in the military camp."

The old lady Cheng couldn't hold it back, her eyelashes filled with tears. Her grandson unconsciously had such ambition and responsibility, she tremblingly said, "I know old lady can't stop you, if you want to go, go Well, my sons from the Cheng family are all upright."

After she calmed down, Old Madam Cheng said again, "It's just Ms. Fang, what are you going to do? She gave birth this year, and the family is trying to discuss your marriage. It may not be possible for you to separate the two places just after getting married. You and her Not too small..."

Cheng Chengcheng's fiancée's surname is Fang, and her maiden name is Wuyou. Her father was a general under Qihou's command and died in Yunnan.When Miss Fang kept her filial piety, she kept her house behind closed doors. She just copied scriptures and prayed for her father, served her mother, and took care of her elder brother. Everyone in the capital knew her to be of outstanding character.

"The emperor promised me that I can bring my family." Cheng Chengcheng said, "Otherwise, whoever will work for him, let Governor Lin play by himself."

Cheng Qingcheng's passion turned into nothingness immediately, he rolled his eyes at his brother and said, "Then the old lady hurry up and marry him a sister-in-law, if she takes office, wouldn't she have to send a sedan chair all the way."

"Yes, yes, hurry up." Mrs. Cheng couldn't care less about feeling, and hurriedly went to her daughter-in-law to discuss the marriage.

There was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate, Lin's residence was full of people, Mingxuan held a begging banquet on the seventh day of July, and for a while the Lin's garden gathered ladies from all walks of life in Beijing, Yingyingyanyan was very lively.

There are colorful brocade flowers tied on the trees, and a Tanabata Qiqiao building is built beside the gate of the garden. The lights are bright and shining.

Lin Daiyu held a fan in her hand, half covering her sad face, "Last year, there were Yuanyuan and Qin Qiu's sisters. I thought it would not be too far to go back to my hometown in Gusu, and it would be convenient to send letters. "

Yishuang was also worried, after coming back for so long, Lord Yongding He didn't show up at all, she didn't have enough cultivation, she didn't even know where the Lord He's mansion was.

Xueyan said, "Why is the girl still resting here? The guests are all here, and the wife asked someone to come and call the girl."

Lin Daiyu is still wearing a pair of flat buns, and the gemstone tassels hanging on both sides are the Girl's Day gift from her uncle. Pigeon's blood red of the same color and size are inlaid into concentric knots, and the gravel below is shining like stars under the light.The skirt is also embellished with the same gravel, and the hair is covered with a layer of tulle. The gemstones are shining when walking, which seems to be embroidered on the skirt, and the hair is shining with each other.

Mingxuan instructed her, "Qiqiao is a matter of your daughter's family, you just take them to play, I'm going to bed with the wives."

Although Lin Daiyu had lived in the capital for a year, she had never been out of Jia's mansion, and no one else had seen her before. Seeing that she was young, but she did not hide her beauty, they all came up to her to see her, and they showed all kinds of courtesies. gift.

Princess Mingwei was the most honored and closest among the guests, and said to Mingxuan with a smile, "Second Sister's daughter is well hidden. When I first saw it, I almost thought that the Qixi Festival fairy had come down to earth."

When she praised Lin Daiyu so much, her sister-in-law was a little displeased, secretly gave Lin Daiyu a look, and looked up and down, but she didn't think that Lin Daiyu's clothes were expensive, not grand enough, and too small.

Mingwei didn't care about her sister-in-law's face, and took off a little Cuiduo Bao hairpin from her head and gave it to Lin Daiyu, "You are my niece, let's play with it. You went to the county palace a while ago, and I happened to be away, so I will give it to you today." Fill."

The hairpin was inlaid with pearls, corals, and agate jadeites. It was numerous but not messy. It was very beautiful under the light. Lin Daiyu hurriedly thanked the Princess,

Mrs. Baoling Hou Shi smiled and said, "You all gave your things to Miss Lin at this moment, and we will see what you will use as prizes later."

Ming Wei laughed and said, "Why are you talking about someone else? Could it be that you didn't give it to her? Let me think about it, Mrs. Shi gave up and wanted to come back? Miss Lin, hurry up and return her pearl bracelet, so she can be a lucky winner." Woolen cloth."

"Your sister is okay, why are you so weird?" Mrs. Shi scolded her, "I'll see what the princess will come up with later."

Ming Wei stroked her bun as a gesture, and the full set of Diancui jewelry in her hair compared to everyone present, "You don't have to worry about me anyway, I'll take apart a few."

Everyone came up and said with a smile, "The new daughter-in-law who just became a new daughter-in-law will just spread the dowry like a boy who spreads wealth, and will tell Princess Zhijun when she turns back."

Ming Wei quickly took Ming Xuan's hand and said, "If you can't say it, just tell my mother, there is no such reason."

Ming Xuan covered her mouth and smiled, "Okay, okay, let's go play the horse-sling, let them have fun, and we'll come back after the needle is threaded, and I'll give you time to get ready."

The wives rushed away, Lin Daiyu was not stage-frightened, and got to know each other a little bit more. My sisters and sisters had met each other, so I just asked the ladies to pick their favorite places, or watch the moon in twos and threes, or a few of them together. Talk about poems, and present freshly fried Qiaoguoer.

Lin Daiyu was about to sit down in the gazebo, when a girl in red suddenly came up beside her, with a bee waist and ape back, a crane and mantis shape, and said with a smile, "Sister Lin, long time no see."

When Lin Daiyu went to visit Jia's mansion, it happened that Hou Baoling had been released and picked up Shi Xiangyun's house, but she was nowhere to be seen.Lin Daiyu covered her fan lightly, and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Sister Yun, how are you doing?"

Shi Xiangyun said, "Of course it's good. It's a pity that the second and third sisters didn't come, otherwise I would be happy to see you."

"When grandma gets better, I'll post another post to invite them." Lin Daiyu said, Shi Xiangyun nodded, "It's a pity that sister Lin will go to Fuzhou soon, otherwise we can still play together every day like before."

"How old are you, you only care about playing all day long." Lin Daiyu saw that a servant girl brought up two tables, and she didn't go to Shi Xiangyun anymore, so she hurriedly called everyone to worship Zhinu.

The two low tables were side by side. In addition to the melons and fruits carved into flowers and birds, there were longan, red dates, hazelnuts, peanuts, and melon seeds. The ladies all raised their skirts and knelt on the soft cushions. Fang Wuyou sat sideways.

When Fang Wuyou heard that Cheng Qingcheng worshiped under Lin Ruhai's sect, he couldn't help but feel close to her. Although Lin Daiyu didn't understand, she didn't dislike her closeness.

The moonlight was bright and clear, and the garden was silent. The girls all recited their wishes silently in their hearts, and only when the stick of incense was burned out did they start to liven up again.

The girls sent lotus pods with needles inserted, and asked the ladies to thread the needles. Lin Daiyu's fingers were slender, and she went through seven needles in a row, winning the first prize.Fang Wuyou was not slow, but he only praised Lin Daiyu, "Sister Lin has a pair of skillful hands."

Lin Daiyu turned her head to look at her, blinked twice, pointed to the lotus pod in her hand and said, "Sister Fang is praising me, or is she praising herself?"

Shi Xiangyun said, "Sister Lin is so boring doing this. They are all small things from her daughter's house. The third younger sister said that she wants to start a poetry club. You will come when the time comes."

Lin Daiyu secretly guessed that Tanchun was just a mention, but Xiangyun took it to heart. Jia's mother had been ill for a long time, and her aunt was ill. It was unlikely that Tanchun would start a poetry club at this time.

When all the wives heard that Lin Daiyu had won the first prize, they all laughed and said that they saved the lottery. Ming Wei said, "Your Lin girl will not be in Beijing next year. I will also hold a Qixi Festival banquet at that time to see who wins the first prize."

Everyone praised it, and in the next year, Mingwei County really hosted the Tanabata Begging Banquet, and later it became a grand event in Beijing. There were several companies co-organizing it, and some such as Zhongshun Prince's Mansion independently.This is something.

Jia's mansion was in chaos, and the Sanchun sisters hid in the house, so they couldn't care less about begging for cleverness.

It turned out that because the treasury was not enough, Wang Xifeng, Madam Xing and Madam Wang cried poorly. Madam Wang lost Yuan Chun as a helper, so she had no idea to deal with the big house. Madam Xing said, "There is still some gold and silver in the treasury. Big guy, ask Lian'er to take it out and pawn it, it will also gather dust."

"In a family like ours, there are only people who buy things. There is no one who treats them as things. Telling them makes people laugh." Mrs. Wang said.

"Who can make a joke? Feng girl has been in charge of the family for so long, and she still has less stuff? Could it be that the second wife is also making fun of Feng girl behind her back?"

Mrs. Wang sneered in her heart, even Feng Lazi was considered solid-minded, and there were no smart people in the world.

Seeing that she had stopped talking, Mrs. Xing asked Wang Xifeng to open the warehouse to get things. She didn't want to do a little inventory, but there was a whole set of gold cups and bowls missing.Wang Xifeng tied up the women who watched the warehouse for interrogation, but they all said that they had never seen it, and they did not take it by themselves.

The eight gold cups and eight gold bowls were all solid, and they disappeared from the library for no reason, and the boxes containing the bowls were still there, but the bowls and the cups were missing.

Mrs. Wang said, "It's only a few dozen taels of gold in total. Who in the treasury is not worth more than this, let alone someone who took it to entertain guests and forgot to return it."

Mrs. Xing has always been Mrs. Wang's one, and she wanted to say something, so she said, "Second Madam said something, it doesn't matter if there are hundreds of taels of money, it's obvious that someone stole it, so how can I say it's entertaining guests. Our library Everything in it is registered, but we don't have the face to take it out, don't let the second master take it to entertain distinguished guests, forget to return it?"

Mrs. Wang felt a pain in her heart and insisted, "This thing is golden, who would use it to entertain distinguished guests?"

"Whether you need it or not, it's real gold and silver. If you exchange it for silver, it's much more useful than any brocade jewellery. It's also easy to use in the palace. The second wife said, isn't it?" Mrs. Xing stabbed her with Yuanchun, she secretly didn't know How many times have I laughed, what is too expensive, throwing down a lot of gold and silver, and finally sent a small sedan chair to the palace as a concubine, it is really "expensive".

Mrs. Wang took a deep breath, and looked at Wang Xifeng with sharp eyes, "Feng girl has been the housekeeper these days, and I was very relieved at first, but there is something missing, whether it is a thief from outside or inside, I have to find out carefully .”

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Second wife, don't worry, I'll let someone check the inside and outside of the warehouse, one by one, if there are internal thieves, it's easy to deal with, and they are all slaves born in the family. If there are foreign thieves, you can You have to report to the police and arrest someone."

Mrs. Wang twitched the corners of her mouth with a half-smile, and walked away.
