The struggle of the Nanny of the Red Chamber

"Which daughter doesn't want to get married in front of her parents. Although it's a bit rushed, it can make up for a regret. As long as Mrs. Lin doesn't care, our family will hold the wedding more grandly. Thinking about it, it can also reduce the haste of the wedding. .”

"Why don't you decide on the marriage first. Wait until you are old enough to get married." Shi Shi still felt that she had wronged Lin girl by doing so.So there are different opinions.

"Old lady, after thinking about it, my daughter-in-law thinks what Li Ning's mother said makes sense. If we get engaged first, it will be difficult for Miss Lin to live in our house. Their siblings have to keep their filial piety, and they are young. If you live in the Lin Mansion, the daughter-in-law can't be at ease. Zuo is just a family, and they are all the same if they marry sooner or later.

Another one, Miss Lin is thoughtful.If you come into the house again, you may feel a little uncomfortable.There is also Brother Xing, gossip, coupled with a lack of heart, he is the age where nothing can go wrong. "At this time, Mrs. Zhang, in fact, had long since hoped that Lin Ruhai's body would recover.

Mrs. Zhang thought about the virtues of the servants in her family, and she was indeed somewhat snobbish. Although she had been paying attention, it was obvious that the effect was not great.Especially the atmosphere in Lixiangyuan and Dongxiaoyuan is particularly serious.

Baoyu is not a child of their eldest family, and will still live with the second master and second wife in the future.At this time, the marriage between Baoyu and Lin Yatou was finalized, which also avoided possible complications in the future.

Mrs. Zhang has already figured out Miss Lin's temperament very clearly.That is the most innocent temperament.Although she also asked Lin Yatou's foster mother to teach.But when she was three years old and saw her old age, Lin Yatou's temper might be hard to change.

The same is true for gems.If it is for the benefit of the two of them, it is actually not suitable to get together.But the two children are bound to come together.

Time and life.

As for the marriage between Baoyu and Lin Yatou, if Mrs. Lin was still alive, Mrs. Zhang felt that it might be a little more embarrassing.But now Mrs. Lin is seriously ill, and it is very likely that he will go west.At that time, Lin Yatou's identity will definitely be affected, marrying someone else is better than marrying Baoyu.

No matter what happens to Baoyu, the Jia family will protect the future Second Mistress Bao.

And at least under her nose, it can keep her safe and happy for half of her life.This can be regarded as worthy of the sister-in-law friendship between her and Jia Min, and repaying Jia Min's kindness in protecting Zhang's daughter.

As for the second master and the Xing family.That's nothing to worry about.When the old lady is around for a day, they can't afford to make any trouble.If the old lady went, before then, she would ask the old lady to fish Baoyu and his wife out of the hands of the second master's incompatible couple.Who told Baoyu to be only the second son, and sooner or later the family would need to be separated.

"Well, let's do as you said. But if you really want to get married there, it's impossible for Lian and Cong'er."

When Zhang thought about it, it was indeed the case. "The second brother and sister were supposed to go to Zhang Luo for this matter. But the second younger brother has to go to court on weekdays, so he can't be without a servant in charge. Hu'er and Zhu'er have to go to court, and Shui Shi and Feng Ge'er can't leave the capital. .Or, just me and our master. Our master doesn't have to go to court every day now, but he can go back to the official department to ask for a leave. What do you think, old lady?"

Shi Shi thought about it, and he really could only arrange it this way.Not to mention anything else, this marriage really cannot be handled by the second child.Then the two of them will probably ruin this happy event.It seems that this matter really needs the help of the boss.

But then again, only in this way can Shi Shi feel relieved.

It's just that her two jade children have really suffered for them.

Sitting aside, Tang Chao saw that the two agreed to this marriage.I breathed a sigh of relief.As long as Lin Ruhai doesn't die early, as long as Lin Ruhai doesn't lose his mind, the eternal love can be fulfilled, and the regrets of thousands of years can be settled.

It stands to reason that the Tang Dynasty would also follow them back to the south.It's just that the daughter-in-law Fu Qiufang's body is getting heavier and heavier, and she is about to give birth.Another thing is that Mrs. Tang caught wind and cold recently because of the cold weather.On the other side of the second room, Zhang Yunji is still in confinement.This time, Zhang Yunji gave birth to another son. Although it was a happy event, it left the family with no one who could make decisions.As for Li Ning, Tang Chao was included in the big list for returning to the south.

It would be a pity not to go out for a rare trip at public expense.In the absence of Yingchun and Xichun, it is also good for Li Ning to talk to Daiyu if she has nothing to do.

Most importantly, Tang Chao also wanted Li Ning and Jia Cong, the unmarried couple, to have more opportunities to get along.You must know that Li Ning and Jia Cong have hardly seen each other since the marriage was settled.

Tang Chao had no choice but to grit his teeth and reject the invitation to go to the south because of the mess at home and abroad.

Alas, it's a pity that Bao Dai can't be together.

Baodai was together, but she couldn't see the wedding of the century. Tang Chao found out that she felt even more regretful.

Speaking of which, perhaps Lin Ruhai was really just a character in a book to Tang Chao.Except for the two or three meetings before and after Jia Min got married, Tang Chao never saw Lin Ruhai again.

For Lin Ruhai's death, how could he feel pity, but also feel the toughness of fate.Other than that, there are others.

Maybe others will feel cold-blooded if they know about it.But put yourself in her position and think about it. People who are not the Virgin Mary have almost the same mentality.

It was Jia Min who had friendship with her, not Lin Ruhai.If a friend whom we haven't seen for 30 or 30 years dies, it's only natural to be sad because of the friendship we had back then.But her husband, who was also a friend whom she hadn't seen for [-] or [-] years, died, and she was sad and weeping all the time.

Does that sound like a word?

After the matter was settled, Shui Shi became even more busy.Even Sister Feng got busy.Shui's family wanted to prepare for her parents-in-law to attend the event, but Sister Feng wanted to pack up a rather expensive dowry gift from the second room's only three-story property and give it to Baoyu to take away.

When packing up the dowry, Sister Feng didn't feel bad at all.Anyway, these properties will not give her a point in the end.It would be better to sell favors to Bao Dai now, and then stab a knife in the hearts of Mrs. Xing and Aunt Zhao.

There is a large courtyard between Rongqingtang where the old lady lives and the four courtyards in front.That yard was originally used as a study for my brother, and it was called Qixiazhai.But later, apart from the brother in the mansion, the children from the clan and relatives all came to the school.Mrs. Zhang decided to close the place and move the study to the front.

Now that the plan is to get married in the south, when they come back, they need a courtyard where Baoyu will live after getting married.This place, the old lady and Mrs. Zhang thought it was suitable.Then I informed Shui and Sister Feng and asked them to clean it up carefully.

The old lady Shi Shi still has part of the property of the second house and some valuable utensils.Now that Jia Huan is so old, or Jia Zheng is so old, it is unlikely that he will have children in the future, so the old lady asked Yuanyang to make a list of all these properties and divide them into five shares. List the details in two, one, one, one division.

Mandarin ducks know the machine, and listen to the sound.Knowing that the old lady wanted to give two of the five shares to Bao Dai.After engaging with her godmother's thoughts, Yuanyang put the best things in those two shares.Of the remaining three, one looks practical, one looks solid, and the other looks like a dowry.

Shi took a look and pointed out the two copies naturally.Tell Yuanyang to send the things according to this list when Baoyu and the others come back.

In this way, without the knowledge of the Xing family and others, the remaining three-story property of the second room, which belongs to Baoyu, will also be sent to Baoyu's hands.

Ninth day, easy to travel.Jia She said goodbye to Shi Shi, took his wife and son, and nephews and nephews to board the ship going south.

When Tang Jing knew that Baoyu was going to the south, he also spent a few days with Tang Chao. Tang Chao was a child, and he was willing to let his son go out for a walk.Seeing the world is better than cultivating Xue Pan's temperament of being the boss, his second child.

After the few people went out, the Rongguo Mansion was completely quiet.

Among Shi's favorite children and grandchildren, those who stay in the capital will go to the Yamen to become monks and ring the bell.And Jia Zhi also followed in a stern manner, Shi Shi really didn't particularly like the others.

Fortunately, the granddaughter said that both Yingchun and Xichun stayed, and Tanchun would come to Shi's face from time to time to have fun.Although deserted, but passable.

It's just that at the end of the year, although Shi Shi also understands that they will definitely dare not come back for the New Year during their trip, but when the Chinese New Year comes, Shi Shi is still depressed by the lack of half of the dining table.

I knew she would follow along.Anyway, it's a boat, and the bumps won't go anywhere.

After the new year, Sister Feng was afraid that the old lady would get sick from boredom, so she proposed to take Xiangyun and Baochai over to the house as guests.

Xiangyun has been less and less in the past two years. After Xiren suddenly died in Rongguo Mansion, Xiangyun's attention to Rongguo Mansion has also faded.She is not naive, and she understands right and wrong.In the past, she was just unwilling to accept her fate, but Xiren's death made her understand many things.

If she continues to indulge her temper like this, although she won't end up like an attacker, she won't be much better in the future.

Xiren's death was actually a complete accident. Originally, Shi and Zhang just wanted to make her dumb and sold her away.Unexpectedly, when they were sleeping at night, Xiren and another little girl would actually light the charcoal basin and forget about the ventilation.There is no support for the window slit, and the window will be closed when the night wind blows.

In fact, I can only blame God.In the house where Xiren and the others lived, the charcoal fire burned too much in the first half of the night, which melted the ice on the beams.Then the temperature in the room dropped in the middle of the night, and the windows melted and froze again.

So the two young lives disappeared like this.

Compared to Cui Ling who guarded Xiangyun that night, Yuanyang's expression was much uglier.She knew that the old lady and the eldest lady were going to clean up the attacker, but the attacker died ahead of schedule.This made Yuanyang subconsciously feel that God did not allow Xiren to survive.

Xiangyun, who learned to read words and expressions since she was a child, misunderstood this real accident after seeing Yuanyang's face, thinking it was a warning from the old lady.Warn her words and deeds to slander the historian and the mistress of the historian.So after returning to the historian's house, Shi Xiangyun no longer clamored to come to Rongguo Mansion.At the same time, people have done their part.

Mud girl, no matter how bad her aunt of the Shi family was to her, she didn't yell and kill her girl.This Rongguo Mansion is so frightening.

This time, when the Rongguo Mansion sent someone to pick him up, Xiangyun's first thought was to refuse.But I also thought that if I didn't go to the mansion again this time, my aunt and cousin would really notice something, and they might not be as polite to me as they are now.

After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and got into the car.

Xiang went to Rongguo Mansion anxiously, but Xue Baochai tidied up happily.

During the days when she came to the capital, she understood her family's social status.The powerful uncle's family unexpectedly left the capital, which forced them to live in the Xue family's house in the capital.

There are really too many nobles in the capital, and out of ten people knocked down on a plaque, nine of them are uncles.The Xue family who did not live in Rongguo Mansion had a very difficult life in the capital.

Following her mother all the way to Jia's house, Baochai also knew that such behavior was no different from those daughters of small families who approached her in Jinling and made her look down on them.

But she has no choice, the water in the capital is too muddy.

It was also at this time that Xue Baochai understood why the Tang Dynasty still stayed in the mansion to be a nurturing mother to this day.

Living in the capital is not easy.

Shi Xue and the two arrived at the Rongguo Mansion almost together. After entering the mansion, they sat down in front of Shi's couch after paying their respects.

"What? Second Brother Bao and Sister Lin?" Shi Xiangyun heard Tanchun whispering about Lin Daiyu's absence, and of course gossiped about the reason why Baoyu followed him.

"Second wife, uh, no, did I mean that the second master also agreed to this marriage?" Xiang Yun didn't remember when someone said that the second wife wanted to marry her niece from her natal family to Brother Bao.

Tanchun pursed his lips towards Shi's position, the meaning behind his words was self-evident.

Shi Xiangyun pursed his lips, feeling a little indescribably disappointed.It's not because of this marriage, but because someone cares about it and someone makes the decision.

She is envious, she is jealous.I envy someone who genuinely cares, and I'm also jealous of everything Lin Daiyu has.

She is a legitimate cousin girl in this mansion, the old lady loves her, the eldest wife takes pity on her, she also has a father who is a high-ranking official, and a brother who is only more than one year younger than her.

And she has none of these.She didn't know how her aunt would marry her in the future, and she didn't know who else in this world would really care about her.

And when Shi Xiangyun was talking to Tanchun, Xue Baochai also succeeded in gaining a lot of favorability in front of the old lady.

At that moment, the Shi family left Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun to stay in the mansion for a few days.In the past few days, due to Shi Xiangyun's estrangement, Xue Baochai took the lead with Shi's and gained a lot of goodwill.

When Shi Xiangyun came back to his senses, he was gnashing his teeth in anger again, without holding back his words.

Both Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun live in the old lady's yard, and the rooms are connected together.So it is clear at a glance what is happening on both sides.

And when Shi Xiangyun said that after Lin Daiyu beat his father, and then beat his father, and now he will be replaced, Xue Baochai twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled silently.

Mrs. Lin and the master didn't disappear when Miss Lin was born.Let's just say it's Ke, then there is at least one Uncle Lin in the Lin family, and you, Shi Xiangyun, are the one who really restrained your father and mother.

Thinking that Baoyu is her own cousin after all, Lin Yatou also has a little connection with her family.After winking at the servants around him, Xue Baochai rested.

Not long after, rumors spread in the Rongguo Mansion that Miss Shi was jealous of Miss Lin, the second grandma of Bao Bao, who was a broom star.

Shui's housekeeper has been in charge for many years, and it is not difficult to check things out.After several rounds of questioning, I found out the whole story.He shook his head amusedly, the thoughts of these little girls were misplaced.

Taking advantage of a little time after lunch one day, Shui Shi told Shi Shi everything that happened in the mansion.Shi's face darkened.I feel a little gloomy in my heart.

The next day, the second daughter Xue Shi was sent home.During my lifetime, I never took the initiative to invite someone to succeed me.

Seeing these things, Tang Chao could only sigh slightly.

.. ......

The Lin family and the Jia family are both officials and eunuchs, so naturally they can use post stations hundreds of miles away to send messages.Just after the first month, the mansion received a letter from the south.

The letter said that Lin Ruhai's illness fluctuated and never recovered.But I have already asked the doctor in private, I am afraid it will not get better.The letter also stated that Lin Ruhai knew that he would not recover from a long illness, and had agreed to marry Daiyu to Baoyu as his wife, and the wedding was scheduled around the Dragon Boat Festival.

Afterwards, the contents of the letter were some miscellaneous things, for example, the Lin family invited a dozen or so embroiderers to embroider the wedding dress and other dowry for Lin Daiyu.

For another example, Lin Daiyu is still young, and Baoyu is also young, so the several sets of clothes that should be married as a dowry are all replaced by cloth.In addition, 80.00% of the property of the Lin family is in the capital. For this marriage, they just made a dowry list first, and then carried the dowry from the Lin family to the Jia family when they returned to the capital.

Having said that, I have to mention that before Jia Min died, he got a batch of good wood materials.At that time, a well-known carpenter in the south was invited to make a bed for Daiyu.When we got married in May, the bed was ready for use.

In fact, if Lin Ruhai hadn't been a high-ranking official in Yangzhou City, he probably wouldn't have been able to do it with Daiyu's dowry first. You must know that his master is well-known in the south for his craftsmanship, and he is waiting in line. People, the sea is gone.

This is also different from the customs in other places.In other places, the girls only start to arrange the furniture after the marriage is settled, but here, as long as they can be lined up, they will be prepared first.

In this way, the days finally went through May and arrived in June under the expectation of Tang Chao and Shi Shi.Only those who reported from the south entered the mansion.

The wedding went well.

Seeing this, Tang Chao couldn't help but recited Amitabha Buddha.Baodai's wedding was more worrying for her than her marrying her daughter-in-law.
