old lady in red

Mrs. Du had indeed seen the dowry gift from the Lin family, and it was indeed very expensive for an ordinary family.

Therefore, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

Now that Mother Jia said that Mother Lin did not regard Jia Min as her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Du was not surprised.

Sure enough, Lin's mother did something embezzled, and her matchmaker's face was not good.

Shi Mei smiled wryly: "Tanhualang should come and identify him. Tanhualang is the only son of the Lin family, so he should know something about the Lin family."

For a moment, Ruhai was invited in to speak.

Mrs. Du said directly: "Ru Hai, help Master see if there is anything wrong with this kind of formal gift list?"

Lin Ruhai was surprised. She didn't know why Mrs. Du made some digressions at this time, but she took a serious look and said, "It's in order!"

Madam Du's complexion changed: "How is it compared to your Lin family?"

Ruhai bowed and handed the gift list to Mrs. Du: "Well, each family has its own family rules, which cannot be compared and commented on."

Mrs. Du's heart suddenly turned cold: "If I said, this is the engagement gift that Lingtang entrusted me to send to Rongguo Mansion."

Ruhai was stunned when he heard the words, looked at Shi Mei's icy eyes, and didn't dare to take a second look.

In an instant, he understood what his mother had done. His mother's desire to have sex had never been extinguished.

At this moment, Ruhai suddenly realized that her mother, Yagen, did not want to take a concubine for herself, but was fascinated by the big suggestion of a concubine's double marriage described by her aunt.

Or she was annoyed that the Rong Mansion disrupted her plan, and she felt unhappy to vent her anger on Jia Min and let her make jokes about ancestor worship in the Hui family.

But he didn't want to think about it, Jia Min made a joke, so it was him who made a joke.

So far, what is there that Mrs. Du doesn't understand: "Do you know about this?"

Ruhai replied with difficulty: "At that time... I read the engagement gift list..."

That's enough.

I saw it at the beginning, but I saw it again today, but my eyes were full of strangeness, which shows that the two gift lists are not one.

Obviously, Lin's mother, Li Daitao, lied to her son.

Mrs. Du said: "What can I do, not to mention that the Rong Mansion can't hold weddings during the filial piety period, even if it can, a person can only have a small wedding once in a lifetime!"

Shi Mei is gearing up to expose this matter. It is best to get Lin Mu to apologize, and then offer the family treasure with both hands, and then decide to forgive or not.

However, when Mrs. Du said this, Shi Mei lost her mind for a moment.I also resent Mother Lin more and more in my heart, this woman really has no plans.

She knew this truth a long time ago, but she happened to be like this. It was expected that Dingrong Mansion would not dare to disobey the imperial decree, and would definitely choose to calm down.

It's just that she didn't expect that Jia's mother was no longer the original girl who was sitting peacefully like a mountain in the past, but became Shimei, who was mad at the world.

Shi Mei's face turned livid: "It's too much to bully people!"

Ruhai has no choice but to bow and apologize.

Mrs. Du just felt that sitting on wax, she really didn't know how to end this matter.

Shi Mei was so angry that she was a little incoherent: "This marriage, this marriage..."

This marriage really shouldn't have ended!

Jia Daishan only saw that Ruhai was excellent, the seedling of the prime minister, but he never thought that Lin's mother, widowed mother and son raised a son, would it be a good match?

Mrs. Du was very worried: "This Mrs. Zhang, after all these years of suffering, seeing her son's success and her children and grandchildren, how did she get excited?"

Mother Lin is not in good health, and has been suffering for many years?

Hearing this, Shi Mei's mind suddenly went into a twitch: The Lin family is famous not for being rich or talented, but because the Lin family is short-lived!

The book only said that Ruhai Jia Min was over half a hundred years old and had only a six-year-old daughter and a three-year-old son.

Over half a century old, at least 40 years old to say this.

Jia Min gave birth to Daiyu and a son, which shows that the couple are fertile.

However, why Ruhai is 40 years old, Daiyu is only 34 years old, and [-] years old before giving birth?

We have to wait another ten years?

Shi Mei pinched her fingers secretly, she was engaged last year, Ru Hai was 23, and she is 24 this year.

After Jia Daishan's three-year filial piety, he was 27.

Then, the marriage was prepared for a year, and it took 28 years at the earliest to get married.

During this period of at least six years, the couple did not have children.

Shi Mei suddenly shuddered: In this way, there is only one possibility, what happened to the Lin family, making this couple infertile?

The answer is about to come out.

Shi Mei suddenly didn't dare to think about it anymore.

If she is relentless, if Mother Lin has something, Ru Hai must be her own son, how can she not favor her mother?

The marriage cannot be changed, how will Jia Min live?

It must be a lifelong resentment!

Conversely, if the Rong Mansion fights to the death with the Lin family, the engagement will be terminated.

Then, Mother Lin had an accident.

Jia Min's reputation must be bad!

Shi Mei patted her forehead, suddenly felt that it would be boring to entangle with Mother Lin any longer.

Shi Mei suddenly felt that she had 5000 years of advanced knowledge, but she was helpless about Jia Min's marriage!

While Shi Mei was sighing inwardly, Lord Du Jijiu got the news and sent Jia She to come in to pass on a message: "My lord, Lord Du has something to say to my mother face to face, let my son ask my mother, can I take the time to meet?"

Shi Mei knew exactly what Lord Du was going to say, but she just didn't know how to bring this matter to a successful conclusion.

It's really sleepy meets pillow.

Hearing this, Shi Mei got up and said, "You child, do you still need to ask? Mr. Du is an honored guest who can't be invited. It is my honor that he is willing to see me, an old woman. Please come in quickly!"

Jia She turned around and went to the front hall.

Shi Mei sighed at Mrs. Du: "Our children are too closely protected by me and his father. I always feel that the children are still young. I will protect them for a few more years. I never thought that the father-in-law would take such a step... "

Mrs. Du is very good at talking: "It's also the father-in-law who is too capable, so no one needs to worry about everything."

The two couldn't help remembering Jia Daishan.

When I was young, Lord Du was accompanied by Jia She and Jia Zheng.

When the girl made a report, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang hurriedly avoided.

Here Shi Mei got up to greet Master Du.

After two greetings, I have been seated.

Shi Mei greets the girl here to serve tea to treat the guests.

Jia's house is mourning, and the room is full of solemnity.

Master Du didn't talk too much here, and directly talked about the main topic: "I've heard what Ruhai said about today's matter, it turned out that Lin's mother made a mistake in setting up the work, and Madam was wronged.

Our husband and wife have also inspected this matter.

However, overwhelmed water is difficult to recover, and established things are difficult to change.

The old man knows that his wife is angry, but this matter must not be known to everyone.

Not to mention that His Majesty Long Yan was furious, both families would be reprimanded, but this marriage was arranged by the old man, could Madam have the heart to make the old man uneasy? "

Shi Mei let out a long sigh and nodded: "Master Du's words hit my heart, I was too quick to talk before, and I was angry for a while, but now I am in a dilemma, and it is difficult to make a decision.

Swallow my breath, I am not reconciled!

My Min'er was raised with gold and jade, how can I just watch her being trampled and wronged?

I can't bear to make trouble before the imperial court!

For one thing, I, Min'er, is a girl, so if I divorce the engagement, my reputation will definitely be damaged.

Secondly, Tanhualang's ten-year cold window is not easy.

I have long regarded him as a son-in-law in my heart, a son-in-law is half a son, how can I have the heart to ruin his future? "

Mrs. Du was busy comforting: "The love of parents in the world makes Qianjin feel wronged!"

Master Du was very happy to see Shi Mei's cooperation like this: "Ma'am, I believe what I say. Fortunately, Xiao Dingli can make up for it except for mistakes.

Just because Lin's mother is weak and sick, Ruhai has entrusted us with full authority to take care of the marriage between the Lin family and the Jia family.

The old man here promises his wife that after three years, the two governments will hire a big gift, and the old man will be successful and satisfy his wife.

Of course, Madam was wronged this time and cannot be erased so easily.

The old man decides to ask Ru Hai to pour tea to you to make amends. I don’t know if Madam will look on the old man’s face, hold her hand high, and forgive this time? "

Shi Mei hurriedly said: "Your Excellency is serious. Your Excellency is the leader of Qingliu. How many people are proud to follow you. How can I not trust you!"

How clever Ru Hai is, Mr. Du is talking here, he has already knelt down in front of Shi Mei holding the tray high.

The man kneels on the ground, kneels on the ground, and kneels on his parents and kings in the middle.

On the other hand, as a mother-in-law, Shi Mei can afford it.

Of course, Master Du and his wife met face to face.

Naturally, Shi Mei couldn't give people the impression that she didn't know the severity.

When Ru Hai knelt down, Shi Mei sideways avoided, and then supported herself: "You child, there is gold under your knees..."

Master Du was very satisfied with Mother Jia's behavior, but said: "Mother-in-law is also a mother, Madam can afford this ceremony."

This time, although Mother Lin didn't come forward to apologize, Ru Hai's mentor came forward and promised that the weight was more important than Mother Lin.

Rong Mansion has all the face.

Master Du also owed the Rong Mansion a great favor.

Only then did Shi Mei accept the tea with satisfaction.

Afterwards, Shi Mei comforted Jia Min: "Rongfu's future is unpredictable, we can't put all our eggs in one basket for you. I've wronged you!"

But Jia Min said: "Mother and brother and sister-in-law have done enough, and Tan Hualang is both talented and beautiful, and has responsibility. My daughter will not be wronged!"

Shi Mei touched Jia Min's forehead, and heaved a sigh of relief.

She was really worried that Lin's mother would fight to the death with her, and beat the talented and beautiful sister Lin to the butterfly!

Afterwards, on every seven days in the sea, he would come to Tiekan Temple for a day, kneel down and burn incense on paper, just like the son of Jia's mansion.

Knowing that Jia Zheng is going to take the imperial examination, Ru Hai packed a large box with the Four Books and Five Classics that he had taken notes on and took them to Tikan Temple, giving them to Jia Zheng to study.

In my spare time, I also discussed strategies with Jia Amnesty and Shiwen with Jia Zheng.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng all praised Ru Hai's character and talent.

Shi Mei became even more speechless.

If she doesn't recognize Ru Hai, I'm afraid Jia She and the others won't agree.

On June [-], Jia Daishan died for a hundred days.

The next day, Shi Mei led the children and grandchildren of Rongfu to escort Jia Daishan's coffin back home.

In June, the southeast wind happens to be the wind, and the ships go south, with smooth wind and smooth water, very fast.

One month later, the big ship arrived at the ancestral home.

The old twelve-family relatives who stayed behind in Jinling had already been waiting for the pier.

Shi Mei was helped off the boat by Jia She and Jia Zheng.

Bai Haohao was already at the pier, kneeling full of members of the Jia clan.

Erlang of the clan carried the coffin out of the boat with his own hands.

Jia Min let out a cry of grief...

In an instant, the entire pier fell into a sea of ​​crying like a gate opened...
