The oil bottle of the Red Chamber

That night Mrs. Chen took her two sisters to her home, and she had to mention her natal family's decision to Mrs. You.

Old Madam You felt very uncomfortable when she heard that Chen Gui declined the Beijing Palace.He also nagged a few words to Mrs. Chen, saying that the marriage of children should be ordered by the parents and the matchmaker's words, and how could they listen to the ideas of the outsiders.He also ordered Mrs. Chen to post a post to invite the family of Princess Wang and Dowager Beijing to have tea, but there was even a meaning in the words that he cut first and played later.

Mrs. Chen was too lazy to talk to the old lady, so she mentioned the marriage between the Liang family and the Zhang family that Chen Gui had chosen.Seeing that things must not be violated, Mrs. You had no choice but to stop thinking.Instead, he began to think about the benefits of marrying Liang Jiazhang's family.Old Madam You has always been a person who likes wealth and power, knowing that Zhang Huaiyu is the chief assistant of the cabinet and full of nobles, she naturally tends to marry Zhang's family.

However, after discussing carefully with Third Sister You, Mrs. Chen felt that Liang Fengrao was the second sister's beloved.Then I asked the second sister You what she meant.The second sister You was originally a soft-hearted person with no ideas in her heart.Most of the time, it is what the mother and sister say.Seeing that the Chen family and the third sister You blindly praised Liang Fengrao's character and talent, and also praised the Liang family's custom that men can only take concubines when they are forty years old, they also subconsciously leaned towards the Liang family.

Since Second Sister You expressed her intentions, Mrs. Chen naturally wanted to go back to Sister-in-law Ming.Mrs. You was naturally very dissatisfied when her wish to cling to Zhang's family failed.I had to provoke a few words in front of my son.It made You Ziyu a little uncomfortable.

It's a pity that Chen's nature is arbitrary, although he has three obediences and four virtues, he never refuses to let others decide when encountering major issues.What's more, this matter is related to the life of the second sister, and the Chen family will not use the important matter of the second sister's marriage to match the You family for wealth.

Immediately, he suppressed You Ziyu once with the influence of the sixth prince, and then he knew the advantages and disadvantages, saying that although Liang Fengrao came from a humble background, he was the person most valued by the sixth prince. General Fuyuan.Although the Zhang family has a big family and a great business, the person who is discussing marriage with the second sister is just a concubine of the clan.

You Ziyu, who was controlled by some words, lost his temper, and the matter was finally settled.

For the time being, let's not talk about the marriage negotiation between the Youliang family.It is only said that Youshi got a letter from her mother's family, knowing that her second sister's marriage with the Beijing Palace is not going to happen, so she had to go to the mansion over there and tell Sister Feng.At that time, Sister Feng was reading the letters from Jinling in Mrs. Wang's room, and Mrs. Wang's brother and sister-in-law sent two daughters-in-law to talk.Sanchun and Daiyu are also sitting at the side.Seeing Youshi coming, the sisters had to get up and meet each other.

You Shi listened carefully.Only then did I find out that she was Mrs. Wang's sister—Xue Pan, the son of the Xue family's aunt who now lives in Jinling City.Sister Feng is discussing with Mrs. Wang how to write to Ying Tianfu.

Because Mrs. Wang's affairs are complicated, and this matter involves Mrs. Wang's natal family's private affairs.Youshi didn't want to stay long, so he took his sisters to Li Wan's room to talk.

At that moment, Sister Feng came out after discussing the matter, and then turned to Li Wan's room.The sisters and sisters-in-law chatted and laughed for a while, and then they separated.Youshi first asked the fourth girl to go back to her room to rest, and she would go there after a while, and then went back to her room with Sister Feng.

After offering tea, let's exchange some pleasantries.It is rare for Mrs. You to mention that the marriage between the two families was abandoned.First thank Sister Feng once, and then apologize to Sister Feng once.Sister Feng is just entrusted by others, and she is not upset when she sees that things fail.He just took You Shi's hand and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Whoever discusses relatives is not picky and picky, just pick and choose. What's more, the two families haven't exchanged their horoscopes, let alone the case. But the second sister My son didn't discuss marriage with Prince Jing's mansion, but who's family did he set his sights on?"

It is rare for Mrs. You to bring up the matter of Liang Fengrao again.Sister Feng also knew about this man.Although he is not a meritorious veteran, he is also an upstart.What's more, it's not bad to have the Sixth Prince behind him, and to be promoted by today's trust.Congratulations are indispensable.

After a conversation between the sisters-in-law, a little girl replied, "Second Master Lian is back."You Shi immediately stood up and said goodbye.Sister Feng didn't keep her, she just got up and said with a smile, "Come here when you have some free time, so we can talk."

Yushi smiled and agreed.Needless to say.

Now it is said that Wang Ziteng summoned his sister and nephew's family to Beijing. He originally wanted to restrain his nephew nearby so that he could discipline him once.Unexpectedly, before his sister's family left, he himself was appointed by the sage, promoted to the control of nine provinces, and ordered to leave the capital to check the border.The original Jingying Jiedushi was succeeded by Fuyuan General Liang Fengrao who returned to Beijing to continue his post.

Since Liang Fengrao returned to Beijing to work, he was considered stable.After the Rimian Sanctuary, it is inevitable to arrange earthen rituals and worship. First, he went to Prince Yizhong's mansion to meet the sixth prince of the old lord, then to Chen's house to visit Uncle Chen, and then to You's house to visit. This was the first time he met Yue's family.

After the two families met, Liang Fengrao asked Chen Gui's wife, Feng Shi, to come to propose marriage as a matchmaker.The person was chosen by the Chen family, and the Chen family's mother and daughter matched each other, not to mention that he was backed by Prince Yizhong, and he was favored by the saints. The old lady You and You Ziyu were unwilling, and they were satisfied more than anything else.Since the two families thought this way, the subsequent exchanging of Gengtie and horoscopes was nothing more than a formality.Finally decided to get married in September of the following year.

The second sister is depended on for life, and Chen is relieved for the time being.Immediately, he turned his attention to Third Sister You.Seeing Tianer's pressing to ask Third Sister You what plans she had for her marriage, Third Sister You was so annoying that she had to find all kinds of excuses to hide everywhere.

It happened that the plum blossoms in Ningfu were in full bloom on this day, and Youshi Naizhi wine invited Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang to enjoy the flowers.Because I also thought that the third sister likes these flowers the most, I had to post a post to the second sister, third sister, and fourth girl.Just not in one day.

When the elders in the Rong Mansion heard of Youshi's move, they wished that there were more girls so they could chat and laugh together.Jia Mu laughed and said, "Since it's a family banquet, it's more lively if there are more people. I'll let them come over one day. Even if they are young, they don't want to joke with our old bones. They are accompanied by Yingchun and their sisters." That's it, that's it."

Hearing this, Mrs. You couldn't help laughing and said: "Where is the old lady talking? If the sisters can have the opportunity to accompany the old lady, it is a blessing that can't be asked for. It's just that I want our family to get together, The reason is that there are no outsiders, so that we can have a good time. If they call their sisters, the old ladies and wives will be fine. The girls and Feng girls will have to entertain their sisters again. Baoyu is also restrained, so he can't have fun. back."

When Jia's mother mentioned this, she couldn't help but think of the men's and women's defenses. She smiled and said, "That's true. I only care about our excitement, but I forget these things."

Holding Youshi's hand again, he smiled and said, "You are still thoughtful. It can be seen that you are really thinking about these sisters-in-law and uncles. I heard that you also prepared a house for the fourth girl in Ning Mansion?"

Youshi laughed and said, "At any rate, she is also the youngest daughter of our old man. As a sister-in-law, I can't help her on weekdays, I can only worry about these trivial matters."

After hearing this, Jia Mu was full of praise.Yin pointed at Wang Xifeng again and said with a smile: "I'm old now, I don't have enough energy, and I don't care about family affairs. Everything is taken care of by your wife and Feng girl. It's okay to be considerate or not. It's just that the granddaughters are now It's too big, and it's inconvenient to squeeze in one place. I originally thought of moving the second girl, the third girl, and the fourth girl to live in the three small buildings behind your second aunt's house, and let Zhu's daughter-in-law accompany and take care of them. Since you are in the house over there Once the house has been arranged, take the fourth girl back. Tell her to come here often on weekdays, and don't wrong her."

When Youshi heard this, he had to smile.And thanked the old lady with Xichun.

While talking, Aunt Xue brought Baochai to say hello.After Mrs. You got up and met Aunt Xue, Mother Jia pointed at Baochai and smiled at Mrs. You: "This is Baochai, your second aunt's niece. She is 13 years old and lives in our house now. She is a clever girl." My child, you are better than the girls in our family when you talk to others. "

Xue Baochai bowed to You Shi when she heard the words.You Shi stretched out his hand to hold Xue Baochai's hand, looked at it once, and praised it once.Aunt Xue was so happy because she asked everyone what they were talking about, so Mrs. Wang had to explain clearly about You Shi posting invitations.Aunt Xue couldn't refuse, so she agreed.

They wentssiping for a while in Jia Mu's room, and they left after lunch.Youshi followed Xichun back to her room, watched her pack up some household clothes, and then took Xichun's house.

Because Youshi had already prepared, besides tidying up the boudoir and study for Xichun, he still ordered the needleworkers at home to cut a few sets of new clothes according to Xichun's body size, and ordered them to make a few according to the fashion in Beijing. A set of delicate and small heads.Mrs. You thought that she was not as refined as her daughter-in-law in terms of dressing, so she entrusted all the affairs to Qin Keqing.The clothes presented at this time naturally fit Xichun's heart.

Taking Xichun to look around in the room, seeing that it was getting late, Youshi took Xichun's hand and smiled and said: "It's getting late, you should rest for a while, and I'll send someone to call you when the dinner is set. Your brother went to a banquet outside, and you will see him when you come home tonight."

Xichun lowered her head—it should be.Youshi instructed a few more words, "Just tell me what you want to eat, just tell me, even your nephew and daughter-in-law. If girls and women are not well, you can tell me too."

Yin Yin gave instructions for half a day, and then went.

That night when Jiazhen came to her house, she was very disapproving when she learned that Youshi had taken Xichun home to live with her.Hearing Youshi's explanation that he would entertain the old ladies and grandmas from the Rong Mansion to enjoy the plum blossoms, he couldn't help laughing and said: "This is serious."

However, in the early morning of the next day, the masters of Rong Mansion did not have the leisure to visit Ning Mansion.Just because the news came out from the palace, because the new emperor ascended the throne and amnesty the world, the sage thought that the maids in the palace had been in the palace for many years and had never seen their parents' faces. If I imprison you, I cannot make them fulfill their heavenly wishes, and it will greatly harm the harmony of heaven."So he made a decree to choose the harem to send three thousand court ladies out of the palace to return home, to honor their parents, to marry men and women, and to have children.

With this decree, all the people in the government and the field will praise the saint's benevolence and love.But some laugh and some cry.At least the masters of the Rong Mansion couldn't laugh even after receiving the imperial decree.

Yuan Chun, the eldest daughter of the second house of Gai Yinrong, is also among them.
