[Red Chamber] Daiyu's Rebirth Without Regrets

60,

At the same time, Daiyu also received the will to get married next month, but the difference is that it was the Queen Mother who personally said the matter.

Sitting next to Concubine Hui, Daiyu listened to the empress dowager's weary expression: "The emperor still refuses to see anyone, and I don't know what's wrong. Concubine Zhen has also been out of the palace for many days. It may be bad to see. The empress thought Why don't you take advantage of King Fan's marriage and arrange the wedding of the sixth prince by the way, everything is ready."

Concubine Hui pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "Since sister Zhen's birthday banquet that day, I don't know what happened?"

The Empress Dowager took a sip of her tea, and said with a frowning face, "I went to the Emperor's place several times and I didn't see anyone, but I heard from the imperial doctor that there is no problem."

Concubine Hui saw that the Queen Mother was worried, so she didn't say much, she just held Daiyu's hand and said, "I have really wronged Miss Lin by doing things in such a hurry."

The Empress Dowager looked at Lin Daiyu and saw that she was steady and considerate, so she said: "Everything is ready-made, and the Ministry of Rites will supervise it. This matter will be done with great excitement."

Seeing that the Empress Dowager's expression was not good, Daiyu thought it was because the Emperor was in poor health, so she sat beside Concubine Hui and listened to the two of them say a few words, then they left.

Daiyu and Concubine Hui sent the Queen Mother out of the Changning Palace. The Queen Mother liked Daiyu when she saw that she was so sensible and well-behaved. She took Daiyu's hand and said, "The marriage is in a hurry. If you have anything to say, just talk about it. From now on, we will be a family." gone."

Daiyu hurriedly said, "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your concern." Then she lowered her head.

Concubine Hui smiled and joked: "She is shy."

The Empress Dowager pinched Daiyu's wrist as a way to appease her, and after explaining a few words, she got up and drove back to the palace.

The marriage was arranged so intensively, according to Concubine Hui's opinion, it would be better for Daiyu to marry from the palace, that is to say, from Changning Hall.

Daiyu obeyed Concubine Hui's wishes, and when the news reached Jia's mansion, Jia's mother and others were quite critical, so they handed the sign several times to enter the palace.

Daiyu stole some time to visit Yuanchun, and saw that her body was getting worse and worse, her puffiness and phlegm disease were getting worse, and the imperial physician always prepared some nourishing medicines, Daiyu looked at the bowls of ginseng soup, The psychology is quite unpleasant.

Sitting on the edge of the bed and saying a few words, seeing that Yuan Chun was a bit tired, he withdrew, holding the piano and sending Daiyu to the door, and seeing no one around, he said: "Your Majesty is really pitiful. Ever since the child was gone, the emperor once I haven’t been here before. It’s not easy for someone to come to the house, and they say something about it, which hurts the mother.”

Seeing that Baoqin looked bad, Daiyu's eyes were a little swollen, thinking that she had been with Yuanchun for so many years, and she was no longer an ordinary master and servant. I feel sorry for Yuanchun.

Thinking about the future of Jia's family, Jia's mother sent her granddaughter to the palace, and she simply earned a mother, otherwise it would be so miserable.It's like the self in the previous life, who seemed to love herself wholeheartedly, but finally gave up on herself without hesitation.

Let's talk about Nan'an Prince's Mansion, since he learned the decree of granting the marriage, the little princess didn't eat or drink, and clamored to enter the palace to withdraw the marriage.Concubine Nan'an had no choice but to have her locked up in the house and was not allowed to go out. She was sent to look after her and sent some Tommy in every day.

At first I thought I would have to endure it for a while, but I didn't expect that after more than half a month, the little princess would no longer be noisy, but she seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and her originally bright eyes were deeply sunken, which looked a little scary.

After all, it was the child who grew up pampered, Princess Nan'an stepped forward and hugged her and said: "You child, why are you so uneasy."

The little princess just cried on the princess's shoulder and didn't say a word.A girl and woman came to help the little princess wash up, and made the kitchen cook a lot of soft food, and the little princess fell into a deep sleep after eating so much.

Let's talk about Jia's house, because Daiyu is going to marry from Changning Palace, Jia's mother is a little displeased, but I can't say much about this matter, both left and right are happy events.

It's just that Lai Da's matter is imminent and there is no room for delay. Since Jia Lian personally brought gifts to Luo Zhifu that day, Luo Zhifu originally didn't want to be kind, but he didn't think that Jia Lian just wanted him to make things worse.

The prefect Luo didn't understand this matter, these declining big families want face the most, why Jia Lian had acted as if he was calming things down before, but now he is going in the opposite direction.

Jia Lian smiled and pushed the best ginseng to the prefect Luo, and said, "Master Luo also knows that the Lai family has been greedy for so much money from my family, and they are doing things outside in the name of the Jia family. Although it is necessary to face, but now this I have lost my face by these servants, it is really boring to put on airs, I am the eldest son of Rongguo Mansion, I have the final say on this matter." Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief when he said the last sentence, I just feel very happy.

Luo Zhifu looked at Jia Lian, nodded, and said, "Since the second master Lian has such a meaning, then the prefecture should take care of it."

Jia Lian came out of the yamen humming a ditty, thinking about what she said just now, she couldn't help being happy, and thinking about the old lady's calming words, she couldn't help cursing: "You have enjoyed a lifetime of blessings, but you can't Leave the ruined family property to your descendants."

Here, when Jia Lian came back to Jia's mansion, he immediately put on a dejected look and went to Jia's mother.

As soon as he entered the door, he said to Jiamu: "Old lady, my grandson has been waiting at the gate of Luo Zhifu for a whole day and has not seen anyone."

Seeing Jia Lian like this, Jia's mother didn't seem to believe it, so she asked Jia Lian to come forward and ask, "Is the prefect Luo really missing?"

Jia Lian waved his hands and said, "Old lady, the prefect Luo didn't see his grandson, and the grandson asked the yamen servant to inquire about it. He only heard that Wang Ren from the Wang family had approached the prefect Luo, but he didn't know what he said. The case is getting bigger."

As Jia Lian spoke, he took a sneak peek at Jia's mother, saw that she believed her, and said, "Grandson thinks that this is not all a bad thing, and the prefect of Luo and Luo will not do too much, and he will definitely corrupt the Lai family." Return our family’s money to our family.”

Mother Jia lowered her head, sighed and said, "This Lai Da is the housekeeper of our house, and he is our family's face outside. Now that people know about this, how can we go out to socialize?"

Jia Lian looked at Jia's mother and wanted to ask if face is more important than real money.After swallowing these words in my throat for a long time, I finally swallowed them down, and said: "Grandson went to the yamen, although he didn't see the prefect Luo, it's okay to clear up some bad teeth, so I scattered the gifts and distributed them to others. them."

When Jia Mu heard this, she didn't take it seriously, but said: "This is the right thing to do. In the future, Lian'er will make up his own mind about it. You don't have to tell me everything."

After hearing this, Jia Lian thought that the ginseng could get more than 1000 taels of silver if he went to the pawn shop, and the old lady didn't feel sorry for listening to her own nonsense.It's just that your old lady has a lot of private houses, but it's not bad for us people to have 200 taels of private houses.

Here Jia Lian went back to her own room, thinking about how to plan the next step, when she saw Sister Feng come in with a cold face, and seeing Jia Lian said in a strange way: "Congratulations, my lord, I'm so happy!"

"What's the matter?" Jia Lian asked with a frown.

"Tomorrow is the day when Aunt You will come in. I don't know if I will be satisfied." Wang Xifeng said and handed over the regulations for taking concubines tomorrow.

Jia Lian looked at the crooked characters and some ghostly symbols, and immediately put the paper on the table, and said, "Whoever wrote this thing is really not popular."

Wang Xifeng was annoyed when she heard this, and she sat opposite Jia Lian angrily and said, "Master, you are asking this question knowingly. I am a person who doesn't know a single word. It's not like I don't know, why bother to use this to bury me all day long."

When Jia Lian heard this, he smiled wryly and said, "I just said it casually. Why did you put it on yourself?" What Jia Lian said just now was really not intentional. Wang Xifeng was illiterate, but she could only recognize a few common characters. It's still learned in the past few years.On weekdays, I always ask Tan Yatou or Baoyu for help when I have to do accounts.

"Master is different now, why would he say casually, when Aunt You enters the door, will I still have a place to stand?" Wang Xifeng became more and more angry thinking about what happened during the day today.

Seeing Jia Lian squinting his eyes and not speaking, he became even more angry, pointing to the two little girls outside the house and said: "Early this morning, the elder sent someone to send over a girl named Qiutong, sir, this is really a double happiness! "

When Jia Lian heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What Qiutong?"

"What else could it be Qiutong, the Qiutong who served the master." Sister Feng thought that Jia Lian was pretending, so she said loudly on purpose.

Hearing this, Jia Lian didn't pay attention to Wang Xifeng's anger, stood up and opened the window to have a look, just in time to see Qiutong in a pink suit standing in the yard looking this way, saw Jia Lian poking her head out, and threw a charming Eye.

Seeing Qiu Tong, Jia Lian was not only displeased, but closed the window with a bang, pointed to Wang Xifeng and said, "If the master wants to give it to me, you will take it for me, won't you refuse it!"

Wang Xifeng didn't expect Jia Lian to say this, she was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "It's not like you don't know about the old man's temper, besides, everyone says I'm jealous, how dare I refuse."

Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng, took a deep breath, and Fang said: "The woman used by the master is stuffed into my room. I am a rag collector." Although she has a bad complexion, she is also beautiful and charming. Thinking that although Wang Xifeng is hot and jealous, but after all, she is from everyone. She is a hundred times better than the second sister Qiu Tong and others, so she has a few words of persuasion, holding Wang Xifeng's hand and said : "Second Sister You will come in tomorrow, you can just put her in the backyard, and put Qiutong here for now, and just get rid of it in a few days."

Wang Xifeng didn't seem to believe it when she heard this, but seeing Jia Lian's serious face, she was surprised and happy when she thought that Jia Lian had changed her temper, so she asked, "Did Second Sister You offend Second Master?"

Jia Lian gave a fierce smile, stepped forward and scratched the tip of Wang Xifeng's nose and said, "It's just an aunt, so how dare you offend me. This Second Sister You is just what Brother Zhen promised her before, saying that he wanted to find her a good home. Brother Zhen That's when I came to find me. I thought it would not be easy for Big Brother Zhen, but Second Sister You was quite cautious, so she agreed. She's just a concubine. When I bring her into the house, I just need to teach her the rules. "

Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian, and could only see the sincerity on his face, she believed it immediately, pointing to Qiu Tong outside the door and said: "The master sent this girl, and the master doesn't like it either."

Jia Lian poohed out the window, sighed and said, "I'm also the son of the head of the Rongguo Mansion. I don't have a beautiful girl, so why bother with someone who has been used by others."

Wang Xifeng was full of joy when he heard this, and seeing Jia Lian was also pleasing to the eye, he said immediately: "Since the Lord said so, then I will arrange it like this, but since Second Sister You is protected by Brother Zhen, let alone Mrs. You's younger sister, the status of aunt is really wronged, why don't you bring me a concubine."

Jia Lian is now full of thoughts about the Lai family's covetous money, and has not been to Second Sister You for a long time. Hearing Wang Xifeng's words, he immediately said: "Do as you want, the only thing is that these two people must not break the rules. .”

Seeing that Jia Lian didn't care, Wang Xifeng's heart was as sweet as honey, and she waited on Jia Lian to wash up, and then rested in the room that night.

But the next morning, Wang Xifeng called Wang'er and asked the accountant to write a concubine engagement document, saying that it was going to the government for filing.Seeing the smiling Wang Xifeng now, Ping'er seemed puzzled, and immediately asked: "Second Grandma, Second Master didn't mention this matter, why did you bother with this concubine engagement document?"

Wang Xifeng took a look at Ping'er, and asked a few women to tidy up the room in the backyard that had been vacant for a long time, and put in new curtains and other things.Then he said to Ping'er: "So what about concubines, it's just a nice way of saying it."

Hearing this, Ping'er seemed a little disbelieving. Looking at Wang Xifeng, he pretended not to care and asked, "Qiu Tong moved here yesterday. I heard that she started acting as a demon early in the morning."

Wang Xifeng glanced over there, and said with a smile: "Let her toss about for two days, and wait until the Elder Master forgets about it before making a fuss about it."

This Wang Xifeng is really narrow-minded, miscalculated, and has no tolerance for others. Seeing Wang Xifeng like this, Ping'er was really puzzled. She wanted to ask a few questions, but she didn't know how to ask. She was actually happy, thinking that the second master rested at the second grandma's place yesterday, it must be the second master who said something, and since then no more words have been said.

It is said that Second Sister You became anxious when she saw Jia Lian not coming for a long time, so Wang Xifeng sent someone here. Although Second Sister You wanted to be a decent lady, she had already become Jia Lian's concubine. It's not a big deal, he was bluffed by Wang Xifeng's words right away, and heard that Wang Xifeng sent someone to the yamen to file a concubine appointment document on the day he entered the door.I was really happy in my heart, and a small sedan chair came in from the corner gate that morning.

Because Jia Lian didn't like it, Sister Feng wanted to spend her generous money, but she heard Jia Lian say that the Yamen was checking the accounts of Lai's family and she wanted to look at them, so she went out immediately.

Second Sister You was soft, so she didn't say anything, she went back to the backyard to clean up, and the matter was settled.

Seeing that she was in peace, Ping'er was also happy, and dragged Second Sister You to explain the rules of the house, and then went to Sister Feng's side.

As soon as he entered the room and saw Jia Lian was there, he immediately stepped forward to pour tea for Jia Lian and squeezed his shoulders again.Jia Lian was lying on the couch, her face flushed brightly, Wang Xifeng was also beaming, and Ping'er looked at the two as if they were newlyweds.

Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian, looked at the box on the Kang table, thought that just now Jia Lian put the box on the table as soon as he entered the door and said, "I'll give you some money."

In the past few years of marriage, it was the first time for Wang Xifeng to see Jia Lian so rich, and she was very happy at the moment. She stepped forward to take the box, opened it lightly, and it turned out to be a dozen silver notes.

Although I don't know a few words, I can indeed recognize the denomination of the bank note. A rough calculation has a total of more than 5000 taels of silver.Wang Xifeng held the banknote and said with a smile: "Second Master, I can take the money, don't regret it."

Jia Lian crossed his legs, blew a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Just take it, I have money now."

"Yo!" Wang Xifeng saw that Ping'er was the only one in the room, approached Jia Lian and asked, "Then everyone is really so rich.

As soon as Jia Lian heard Lai Da's word, he became angry, put down the teacup and said, "Don't mention him to me. He is just a slave in the mansion, but he is still showing off in front of the master. He really deserves what he has done now."

Seeing that Jia Lian was annoyed, Wang Xifeng thought about who the person who sued Lai's family to the officials had not yet figured out, so she asked, "But who is the taller Lai Da!" Seeing that Jia Lian was not annoyed, Wang Xifeng continued: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't say this, but I thought it must not be my brother, just how could he come to such a city."

Jia Lian snorted coldly, thinking, of course it's not Wang Ren, it's my own brother.

It's just that Jia Lian wouldn't say that. He just said: "I don't know about this matter. No matter who is left or right, I have to thank him well."

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng only sighed and said: "Who said it wasn't, Lai Da deserves to die, but now that this matter is made so big, it is clear that others will see our family's jokes without telling them, and it will also make the old lady and the second wife laugh." Born."

Jia Lian pursed her lips, looked at Wang Xifeng, and said after a while, "Then do you want the second wife or the old lady to be in charge!"

Wang Xifeng sneered and said: "Do you think I don't even understand this? Naturally, it's better for the old lady to be in charge of the house. I'm the wife of the big wife, so it stands to reason that the big wife should be the head of the house in our house, but the old lady doesn't like the big wife, so I'll marry in." In the past, the second wife was the head of the house, but now that I am here, I am the housekeeper. Although I am a housekeeper, I am just a housekeeper grandma who has to listen to the second wife in everything."

Hearing this, Jia Lian frowned and said, "That's it, why do you flatter the second wife in everything?"

Wang Xifeng sat up straight, looked at Jia Lian and said, "The second wife is my aunt, and I will kiss her, but now that I am married to you, I belong to the eldest family. Besides, there are only people in this house except the old lady. It’s the second wife’s person, so the first wife can take care of her own yard.”

Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng, smiled and said, "Why are you only telling me now."

Wang Xifeng gave Jia Lian a blank look, and said: "I want to say, but every time the second master comes and goes in a hurry, when will he have a good talk with me?"

Jia Lian thought that she and Sister Feng were affectionate in the beginning when they got married, but they gradually drifted away for some reason, so she sighed and said: "You are the wife I am marrying, so naturally I will leave all the affairs of the inner court to you. These things are up to you.”

"Second Master really handed it over to me." Seeing Jia Lian like this, Wang Xifeng didn't believe it.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "The female master is inside, and the male master is outside. It has existed since ancient times."

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian with bright phoenix eyes, and said with a slightly raised tone, "Second Master's words are serious!"

Jia Lian tapped the table and said, "Of course it is true."

"Okay, then don't regret the second master." Wang Xifeng looked directly at Jia Lian, his eyes were full of love.

Jia Lian took Wang Xifeng's hand with a smile, but Sister Feng shook her off immediately, and said coquettishly, "I'm going to die. If the newly married concubine doesn't go and take a good look at it, I'll be the one to fiddle with it."

Jia Lian got closer to Sister Feng and said softly, "I'll see you at night." Then he went out.

Seeing Jia Lian leaving the courtyard, Wang Xifeng's face was still red, and Jia Lian's breath seemed to be still in his ears, and he squeezed the cash on his cuff, and his heart became more at ease.

Seeing Jia Lian like this, Ping'er was very surprised, and seeing his grandmother like this, he was also very happy at the moment, so he said, "I'm afraid something good will happen to the second master this time. Grandma must take advantage of this time to have a good time." Win the second master's heart together."

"It's up to you to say." Wang Xifeng said as he hid the bank notes in the shadow box.

Besides, everyone Lai has been greedy for a lot of money for so many years. Originally, Jia Lian thought that breaking the sky was within 1 taels. It was as much as 10 taels, not much more.

This Lai Da is the steward of the Rongguo Mansion, and Lai Er is the steward of the Ningguo Mansion. Seeing what happened to Lai Da, Jia Zhen of the Ningguo Mansion couldn't stand it any longer, so Jia Lian was entrusted with the job.As the saying goes, when the tree falls and the monkeys scatter, once the Lai family falls, some people will come over every three days to be loyal to Jia Lian. His reputation for lending money, taking on lawsuits and other things were exposed one by one.

Not to mention Jia Lian was surprised, even Jia She and Jia Zheng were surprised.

After this incident, Jia's mother was seriously injured and felt ashamed, so she decided to go to Daiyu to get married in a few days. Jia's mother wanted to take this opportunity to suppress Lai Da's matter.

Jia Lian made a lot of money here, and he got a lot of money. He only paid 10 taels of silver to the public account, and gave half of the antiques he got from Lai's house to Jia She. , and picked out a few more delicate ones for Zhifu Luo, and took the rest by himself.

Sister Feng was very happy to see Jia Lian not only resting in her own room but also in the study since the second sister You and Qiutong came.Considering that Second Sister You has a bad reputation, and that Qiutong was used by the elder, Jia Lian must have disliked this kind of broken shoes, and since then she has put her heart at ease, and on this surface, she will send something to Second Sister You from time to time, so as to appear I am generous and virtuous.

Forget about the matter of the Lai family here, both Lai Dalai and Lai Er were accused of beheading after autumn, and the rest of the family members were exiled, and none of the sales were completed.

Seeing that Daiyu's wedding day is approaching, Jia's mother is Daiyu's maternal grandmother, and Daiyu has no father or mother, so the Jia family naturally has to make preparations.

The Lai family is gone, and the huge Rong Mansion can't live without a housekeeper. After waiting for a few days, Lin Zhixiao was called, and the position of the big housekeeper was left to him for the time being, and Jia Lian hired a gentleman from outside to pretend to be The second butler, let these two supervise each other to prevent the Lai family incident from happening again.

It is said that Mrs. Wang saw that Jia Mu had been neglected these few days, and at first she wanted to relax, and after a long time, she saw that Dafang made so much money, so she simply stopped defending.

Now that Li Wan is in charge of Tanchun's family, Jia's mother is devoted to Lai's family affairs, and because of the pressure of Daiyu's marriage, Jia's mother doesn't care much about the affairs of the mansion.

Mrs. Wang didn't spend much effort to make Li Wan and Tanchun bow their heads to her. Now this inner courtyard is her own world. Mrs. Wang looked at the personnel dispatched in the inner courtyard these days and wanted to elaborate a few words, but seeing Many people who were transferred away were people related to the Lai family, and they were relieved at the moment. Now the inner court has transferred a group of people because of the Lai family, and Jia Lian stuffed another group of people, plus the old lady People, it's really lively.
