Red Mansions: No Tears

?After the banquet in the Zhongsu Palace, how many people will be there and how many topics will be added after dinner? Naturally, Lin Daiyu doesn't have so much time to guess. She was thinking about Lin Yu, a "folk", wondering if she would mind the ancient times The social trend of early marriage?By the way, this elder brother is not yet [-] this year, what if he hears that someone has already fallen in love with him, and he can't wait to book him as a son-in-law immediately, but he is frightened stupid?

After returning to Lin's house, Lin Daiyu immediately called Su Yu's two mothers, thinking that they were well-informed and not unfamiliar with Zhao Hua, so they should be able to offer some opinions.

Su Momo and Yu Momo have been following Lin Daiyu for several years. They have seen the luxury of rich people in the south of the Yangtze River, they have also seen the rich people in Rongning and Ningxia, and they have seen many ups and downs in life and the impermanence of the world. The reason why the family is willing to spend a lot of effort to support Jiang Ke to study and become an official is just for the word "powerful".

Of course, who doesn't know that if a merchant wants to improve his status and enter the circle of high society, the fastest way is to get married, but is it really that easy to find a suitable wife/son-in-law in an official's family?Throughout the ages, it is not that there are no wealthy businessmen who marry the daughters of officials or high-ranking families. It is a pity that those people marry people who only know how to eat, drink and play, and do not seek to make progress, or they just want to get a generous dowry. Yu is so lucky... As soon as he entered Beijing, he was favored by the majestic prince and the Duke's mansion, and the girl who wanted to marry the two surnames was a gentle, elegant, well-educated girl who could only be stepped on by a dog. X Yun used it to describe, when Aunt Yu heard the first-hand news from Aunt Su, the two of them thought at the same time: What kind of good luck is this uncle in the future, it's hard not to be jealous! !

Madam Su and Madam Yu are also considered far-sighted figures, so they naturally understand better than Lin Daiyu. If the Lin family can get married in the palace, not only the Lin family will get a lot of benefits, but the Jiang family who has turned their in-laws You can also get a lot of light, but it's a pity in your heart... Anyway, the Duke of the State has been classmates with Qi Ye for a few years, so it's not Qi Ye that he likes... Uh~ okay!Who told their Seventh Master to make a marriage early, that's why they didn't meet such a good thing, and now it seems that the best marriages that the elders of Jiang's family showed to several young masters are really only the unrevised results. Jiang Ke and Lin Daiyu are now a couple.

When she first left the Zhongsu Palace, Lin Daiyu was still a little hesitant, but when she was about to talk to the two nuns, she decided not to guess what the outcome would be, but decided on the left and right. The marriage between Lin Yu and Zhao Hua has only one outcome - success, so when she narrated the matter to the two nuns, she became very confident. After having already figured it out, it is natural to start to develop a charter for many things. After all, the current situation makes people feel a sense of urgency.

Lin Daiyu doesn't want Lin Yu, who is the only fellow and the only brother, this lifelong event that may only happen once in two lifetimes will become a great regret in his life because of the silent reason of being "unprepared". The wedding was too hasty, and it was misunderstood that the Lin family did not attach importance to this marriage, which led to Lin Yu's failure in his career in the future.

Just how to do it?The three people in the room fell silent at the same time...

After a long time, Madam Su broke the silence first, and said: "I thought that Miss Zhao San must be 12 very satisfied with the uncle from the bottom of her heart, but the most difficult thing to do now is, according to the girl's meaning, the uncle doesn't know about the Lord Zhongsu at all. He and Lord Zhen Guo are interested in him as the future husband-in-law of Miss Zhao San, maybe he only regards Miss Zhao San as her friend in his heart, and he is even more afraid that since he feels that she is a friend of the girl, to him Just like another younger sister, who would have thought of bringing the little girl home to be his wife? So... what if the uncle is unwilling to make this marriage?"

"I'm sure my brother doesn't know about this, because he has always wanted to get a job as soon as possible, embark on an official career, and restore the former glory of our Lin family as soon as possible, and he and Sister Hua just met at the Lantern Festival last year. Back, I don’t know each other well at all, let alone love. In fact, I only heard Brother Jiang Qi say about Duke Zhen’s intention to promise Sister Hua to brother, and I haven’t heard about it since. Now, before today, I didn’t think that the people in their palace didn’t mention that it’s not because they gave up on their elder brother, but because they wanted to wait for the best opportunity?” Lin Daiyu admired the patience of Princess Zhongsu and Zhao Hui in her heart. , but what is even more admirable is the generosity of Princess Zhongsu. You must know that as a concubine and a noble princess, she can think of and do this for a concubine, which is really rare in the world.

"You don't need to rush to mention the matter of the royal family's marriage with us. At least we can wait until he finishes the Chunwei exam, but there are some things that I think the girl can prepare first, such as what should be prepared for the bride price to be decent enough. It's precious, so it's not a joke for some people in the Zhongsu palace. You must know that Miss Zhao's biological mother is not only the side concubine of the palace, but also the brother of the Duke of Zhen. I'm afraid many people in their palace are jealous of Zhao. Third Miss, I wish Miss Zhao San could marry well. In this world, there are always more people watching the excitement than doorways. Besides, the girl should also send a message to the clansmen in Suzhou. I remember how many There are also children with good skills in the family of the family. Let those people take this opportunity to come to Beijing to help the uncle. Miss, don’t think that we are bullying those clansmen by doing this. You must know that the current Lin clan is only the uncle who has the ability like Lin Lin back then. If your lord enters the official career like that, they will not succeed in studying, and they can only take other paths, so they will have to rely on the uncle to have a future." Madam Yu thought about the current situation, and put forward some suggestions in a timely manner.

"Sister Yu's words are very true, like Master Chong, Third Master Luo, Second Master Chi, and Fifth Master Yong, they are all good families. It would be best if they could all come here, not to mention that you can replace them. The uncle is doing errands, and the wives, brothers and sisters in their family can also find other errands in the capital. The few shops that have been vacant for two or three years like girls can be opened by people, even if they don’t stay. In the capital, the grandpa's marriage affairs alone have to be busy for a long time." Madam Su then added a few words.

"That's right... If you want to make your elder brother's marriage a decent one, I'm afraid you won't be able to do much until the end of next year... Hey! Why don't we get Lian's second sister-in-law to help? Anyway, we have to handle such a big thing well." , there needs to be a person who knows everything about the capital. Even if Uncle Chong and the others can come, they are not very familiar with the capital. There are too many dignitaries in our capital. If you stumble on the street, you may bump into someone. As for the sons and daughters of the aristocratic family, no matter how capable Mr. Chong and the others are, they will not be able to stand up to those dandies who only recognize their rights but ignore them. "Lin Daiyu knew for a long time that she wanted to get married in ancient times. It didn't take a year and a half to get a decent wedding. It's 'big things'.

Because the ancient people attached great importance to various etiquettes, so in matters of marriage, it takes time to ask for a name, to get an appointment, to accept an appointment, to ask for a date, and to get married. , half of the "good days and auspicious days" that need to be carefully combined with the horoscope, so if you are unlucky, it is very likely that there will be such a situation. From this year to next year, from next year to the next year, there will be no day in hundreds of days that can Let the two parties go to the last ceremony - the matter of 'marriage'.

"But... Second Mistress Lian didn't care about such miscellaneous matters for a long time? Didn't Grandma Zhu and Third Miss always handle the internal affairs of the Rongguo Duke's mansion for the past two years? If Second Mistress Lian really agreed to come to the Lin family to help the girl Taking care of business, girl, aren't you afraid that the old lady in-law will feel unhappy when she finds out? And don't forget that the old lady in-law has never given up on promising you to Second Master Bao. In May, you finally agreed to go to Rongguogong again I went to the house, but the old lady of the in-laws saw you, not only did not say anything nice, she even planned to force you to stay there. If Xueyan hadn't reacted quickly, she made up a Miss Zhao San who had sent someone over the day before to say that The lie that I will go to the house to look for you every day, and the old lady of the in-laws is still a little bit jealous of the royal family, so she has to let you go back, I am afraid that you have already become the second master of Bao for no reason?" Nanny Yu looked at Lin Daiyu quite suspiciously, thinking that she had always avoided the Jia family like a snake and scorpion, and knew that Jia Mu had no good intentions for her, so why did she take the initiative to ask the Jia family to help take care of her at this moment? chores?

"The old lady failed to make Lian's second sister-in-law continue to take over the housework. It is obvious that she still has some skills to scare the old lady and second aunt. Moreover, the old lady doesn't know that Lian's second sister-in-law is on our side. If she knows Lian's second sister-in-law If you want to come to the Lin family to help, you must be very happy, maybe you will ask Lian's second sister-in-law to try to find out the bottom of our family... Besides, you also know that the relationship between me and Rong Guogong's mansion can't really be broken, old lady If you want me to marry Brother Bao, it is impossible to tell me bluntly. She can only talk to her brother about this matter, but she can also guess that his brother will definitely disagree, so she will play these tricks in private, but she I don't know about my marriage contract with Brother Jiang Qi, and now I'm just going to let my brother talk to the old lady about the engagement." Lin Daiyu shrugged indifferently.

The marriage between Lin Daiyu and Jiang Ke has not been mentioned to Jiamu so far. One is because Lin Daiyu doesn't know how to speak up, and women in ancient times rarely mentioned their own marriages, so she is not afraid that Jiamu will say goodbye if she finds out. She will not be charged with any crimes, and the second is because she does not want Jia's mother to do something difficult to deal with after knowing that her marriage with Jia Baoyu is hopeless, such as: destroying her reputation so that the Jiang family Retire, and then force her to be Jia Baoyu's concubine (with a bad reputation, of course she can only be a concubine), or give a girl from Jia's family to her future husband as a second wife or something...or change the target to Lin Yu body?Alas ~ who knows? !

"I really have to say that the girl is also a big-hearted girl. Ever since she came to the capital, everything has been orderly and well-behaved, but she is always a little bit indifferent to the affairs of Rongguo Duke's Mansion. Jiner, after all, the Rongguo Mansion is the house of the girl's uncle, but the current relationship seems to be not far from tearing the face apart. I'm afraid the girl thinks that the two of us will be able to smooth things over for the girl in front of the eldest wife. , that’s why you dare to be so bold, right? You’re not afraid that if these things are spread from other people’s mouths to the eldest wife’s ears, the eldest wife will have a bad impression of the girl?” Su Momo sighed weakly...she and Yu No matter how you say it, Mammy is still from the Jiang family, and she was willing to serve the girl of the Lin family at the beginning. Didn't she think that this girl would marry into the Jiang family in the future, so they could go back with her?

Although not many people know, in fact, when the eldest wife was selecting the nuns for the future daughter-in-law, several senior nuns did not take the initiative to agree. What will Grandma Seven think in the future? If she is not favored, the foster mother who will follow Grandma Seven back to Jiang's house will definitely not have a better life than when she was in Jiang's house. As a last resort, the eldest wife ordered She and Nanny Yu came here because they trusted the eldest wife a little more than others, but this trust is not omnipotent! !

"How could it be?! Didn't Madam Hu say it when she came to the capital last time? My aunt was also very happy with my intention to alienate the Rongguo Duke's mansion. It can be seen~ how the two mansions of the capital, Rongning, and Ningxia are notorious. I'm afraid it has already spread to the south, and my aunt is sensible, so she naturally doesn't think that I should still be confused with this kind of relative." Lin Daiyu retorted very calmly. ?
