The Happy Man in the Red Chamber

The Zhang family reassured the Zhang family about the marriage because of the news that Zhang Yunxi had brought back over the years and the miraculous storage bag.To meet and give gifts, simply put it to the point of talking about marriage.It's just that the Zhang family wants to ask an elder to make peace with this person.It's just that I have to talk to Jia Lian's uncle about this matter.The two made an appointment for the next meeting, and An Lan left Zhang's residence.It was almost noon when I drove back home.Thinking that Yingchun would be used there, she asked someone to notify the Ningguo Mansion next door.I wondered if I could have a meal.

The people here just reported that General Jia's wife next door was coming, and before Yishi finished dressing, he heard a woman's hearty chatter and laughter from the yard:

"I've been lazy since I came back. Anyway, I might as well go to my sister-in-law's place to eat a ton of food." An Lan smiled and talked to the woman holding the umbrella.Yishi fixed the last hairpin and went out: "I heard your voice from a long way away, and I said in the morning that you must have come here."

An Lan took Yi Shi's arm: "Yesterday I thought that I would come here early today to bring you and big brother some special products. If you can't think about it, it's better to go and get Lian'er's marriage done first. Just bring this thing first I went to Zhang's house for a while, and it was at the end of the afternoon when the peace was negotiated. Their family originally planned to keep food, but I was anxious to come back and eat so I didn't stay there. What do you think, It’s also waiting for the matter to be implemented and the date set, and then have a good meal.”

"That's true!" Yi Shi nodded, took her into the back room, and made tea for her: "Why did you come back in such a hot day?" Seeing that it is almost the Dragon Boat Festival, you are not afraid of the heat on the road.She asked the maid to serve herbal tea, and pushed her a bowl: "Drink this! It's too much of a list of herbal teas from the hospital. I have someone cook it every day, and it's better than the other ones."

"But you put honey?" For the herbal tea, what An Lan remembers most is the taste of Luo Han Guo and Guiling.Seeing Yi Shi nodding, she took a sip happily. After all, the taste was better than that of the red pot of gold.Sweet and sour, with a taste of sour plum soup.

"There are roselle flowers in it, which is very appetizing. Although the weather doesn't look hot in the morning and evening, it is still cold at night. After all, at noon, the anger is too much, and people are easy to get angry." Yishi drank half a bowl before putting it down: "Eat at noon What? If you don't come, I'll just have a small pot alone."

"I'm just here to rub the pot, but don't be a small one. How about a big one? I brought home-brewed sweet-scented osmanthus brewed by Mrs. Lin's family. It smells delicious. Let's eat some." An Lan smiled Said.Hearing what she said, Yishi didn't shirk it, but just asked people to prepare more meat and vegetables.An Lan asked for mushrooms again.

The servant girl came over with a basin, and the two of them washed their hands one after another.Wipe it clean, the small pot is placed on top of the charcoal basin, and it looks steaming hot.But what came with the charcoal basin was that the two large basins of ice cubes were not very hot after all.

The pot has not been opened yet, and the broth stewed with whole chicken is full of umami.An Lan first filled a small cup of sweet-scented osmanthus wine for Yishi, and then poured it for herself: "He said that after the early morning, he might have to have a treat with acquaintances. I don't know when he will come back, I wondered It happened that Yingchun girl was growing up, so I took her to meet the old lady over there. No matter what, even if the clan sits down, we as juniors can't ignore our face. It's hard to say, it's really old and dead. , maybe he will pick up the old man's teeth. It's better to treat him as a serious relative."

"It's true to say so." Yi Shi nodded: "Although the old lady's mind is not right, she is a smart person after all. Not to mention, she walked out of some high wall when she was young. Everyone in there is not dead. The one who came out alive was not really stupid to look at life, I'm afraid it was her kind. After all, Big Brother She and Brother Zheng have broken bones and tendons, so it's okay to say that our family line is not connected."

"That's what I thought too, so I might as well go there first. Anyway, it's just a matter of spending money to buy peace of mind. It doesn't cost much, and besides, can she beat me up when someone comes to the door with a smile on my face?" An Lan smiled mischievously. When the pot was already opened, she picked up a piece of mutton and rinsed it in it: "I put the Yingchun there, and I will let her father pick it up next night. If we have a relationship, we have made it right Don't worry about being picked on by others in the future."

Yi Shi nodded, she likes meat that is softer and rotten, so she cooks it in the pot with a small copper mesh colander.An Lan likes the tender one that has just turned white, and it tastes very good when dipped in aged chive flowers.

She held up her wine glass and made a toast to Yi Shi: "It is said that this sweet-scented osmanthus wine is an old handicraft of the Lin family, but Mr. Lin just poured it down after just one glass."

Yi Shi smelled the fragrance, and it was indeed very good, and the color looked beautiful like amber.She took a sip lightly, and licked her mouth softly, after all, it was not as spicy as burning a pot.

"Back then, he avoided the marriage offer at the Qionglin Banquet just because he poured a cup. I thought he was just pretending!"

"It's really just pouring one cup. We've been drinking for thirty to fifty years, and he might not be able to go down that one cup. If he really drank it, he would go to bed directly." Thinking of Lin Ruhai's embarrassment, An Lan smiled and picked up a lot of mushrooms and put them on the bed. into the pot.

"Now that he has a daughter, he has made a good start. How are you talking about Lian'er's marriage?" Yishi's meat was well cooked, so she got it and put it in a bowl.Wait for it to cool down a little before entering.

"It is said that it is best to invite the loyal king to be the middleman. If it is not enough, it would be better to entrust Aunt Lian'er to be the middleman. It's just how much, the former one looks like a big deal."

"That's true!" Yi Shi nodded, she picked up a stick of wormwood and put it into the pot, the smell of chrysanthemum chrysanthemum had a smell of herbs and spices.After all, only people in the north like to eat like this.

An Lan is a carnivore, plus physical training.Seeing that the wormwood was ready, she filled a small bowl of soup for herself and drank half of it before putting it down: "In the end, it's just for a celebration. The high family married a girl, and the bottom door married a woman in our family. It’s the other way around. The Zhang family in Luoshui is also from the old school.”

"That's true!" Yishi nodded: "Now we are waiting for the middleman to come over. I think you have just finished the new house and so on. That is to see how the woman's house is organized!"

"That's what the old man thought about when he built the house. Although the yard is narrow and long, it's also a little far away from us, but after all, I can't bear those rules when we live together. As long as she is willing, she can go there for a meal or When the men go out, our mother and I will come to you for a meal. That’s it. After all, it’s a courtyard with four entrances. When the moon gate is opened, it will directly lead to the atrium on the side of Yingchun. After passing the back door, you will find the garden. Influenced, it will be easy to get along with each other in the future, right?"

"You're just afraid of being lazy!" Yi Shi listened to what she said as a reason, but when the listener understood it, he felt that it was just because of being afraid of being lazy.She smiled and shook her head: "Speaking of which, Brother Rong is also a bit old, and he has learned a lot these years, but he is not as smart as he is. Just thinking about it is also necessary to look at each other." Thinking of His grandson, Yishi sighed, picked up a piece of meat rolled on ice cubes with chopsticks, and put it into the copper wire colander in the pot: "I saw a lot of people a while ago, but I didn't catch my eye. Brother Rong is suitable, either from a small family or from a small family, or who has a deep relationship with other people or is a concubine. It's not that I don't look down on the concubine, but it's good if it's good. It's just... Sigh!" Yi Shi sighed, shaking his head.

Hearing this, An Lan thought for a while and shouted to the outside: "Yingluo, come here."

"Hey!" Yingluo agreed straightforwardly, she was dressed in tender green melon seeds, and her big black braid looked refreshed.

An Lan pulled her arm: "How does sister-in-law look at the girl?"

Yi Shi looked at the girl who often followed An Lan, and was taken aback for a moment.An Lan explained with a smile: "This child is just following me. After all, they are the offerings sent to me by their family. After all, he is also a lady who is served at home. It's just that there is a close relationship between the Seven Embroidery Workshop and the aristocratic family in the workshop. Yes, in comparison, she is the big girl over there who entered the palace."

"Whose girl is it?" Hearing this, Yi Shi immediately understood.If the family background is good, you can see it after all.

"Her father is Chen Shiyou, governor of Haizhou. She is a collateral line of the Chen family in Haining. She is a descendant of the direct line, and her mother is a fourth-rank imperial order. The serious status is here. If the sister-in-law looks good, I would like to make peace. This There are two older sisters and three brothers on top of the child. I didn’t ask about the concubine, and you know that I am more serious about this aspect. This child is not very good, but his brain is a little dead. Her grandmother looked really It’s hard to get rid of it, so I sent it to me. It’s good to learn from it, and it’s good to be more flexible. But when I got here, it still hasn’t changed. After all, it’s a sincere heart.”

Without Qin Keqing's stay, Yingluo has been with her for some years.This kid's martial arts is not very good, and his bones are not the best.After all, she is sincere and she looks like a good girl.The Chen family has been entrusting her to find a simple and honest family for her to be an in-law.Jia Zhen is indeed a clueless person.But in the final analysis, the emperor told him that he had no choice but to go back to Beijing to herd horses.Jia Rong Anlan also has contacts, and is a timid and honest person.What's more, my mother went early, so my father didn't care.Following Jia Zhen and his wife these years, they are also honest and responsible people.Thinking about Qin Keqing's demeanor in the novel, she was so relieved that she didn't even dare to let go of a fart.These days, it's rare for the mistress to be polite and single-minded.

Yingluo listened, blushed immediately and lowered her head.Twirling the skirt of his clothes with his fingers, he dared not raise his head.This Mrs. Ningguo is also common to her. If she is a grandson's wife, she will feel awkward.

"He's a thin-faced one after all!" Looking at the little girl, Yishi immediately felt satisfied after hearing about her background.The governor of Haizhou, Chen Shiyou, is a senior member of the third rank, and it is a good thing for his wife to consign her to a higher rank.This child has also been watched by my side all these years, no worse than those who come from outside.Besides, knowing the bottom line, Brother Rong is soft-hearted and has no achievements.But this child has been watched all these years, if he is with him, he will definitely be able to support a family in the future.

Thinking of this, Yishi nodded and took off the white jade noble concubine's bracelet carved with lotus and lotus leaves from her wrist, took Yingluo's hand and put it on her.Wearing the cold bracelet on her hand, Yingluo blushed suddenly and ran out.Looking at the two of them hehe laughed.

After lunch, An Lan didn't rest for a while, but wrote a letter to Yingluo's grandmother in her study, and she saw that the marriage would be successful.Jia Rong's personality has been observed for many years, Yingluo has been with her for so many years, and she will not treat her badly.

The letter quickly arrived in the hands of Yingluo's grandmother next to the Chen family in Haining the next day through the intrusion in the workshop.Her mother did not accompany her husband to take office at this time, but took care of her one-year-old eldest grandson at home.The eldest son met in Guizhou, and the daughter-in-law followed and left the child.No matter what, you have to wait until the child is four or five years old before going to another place.

"But the letter from the workshop?"

"It's about the marriage of the third girl." The old grandmother of the Chen family put the letter aside with a smile: "The one at the other end said that the prime minister had arranged a marriage. It belonged to Jia Rong, the heir of the Ningguo Mansion. By the way, he also brought Jia Rong's Xinzi, take a look. Now that Jia Jing is out of the mountain, no matter how he looks at the emperor's current favor in the future, the worst thing is that he is a third-rank general like his father."

Chen Gaoshi heard the words, took the thick letter and read it slowly.The above coefficients explain Jia Rong's relevant information, that is, even the maids in the room and even those in the school on weekdays can speak clearly.She is a girl from the local Gao family. The two daughters above her family were married in nearby families. The third girl has the elements of a high marriage.She thought for a while: "I think it's better to talk to her father. If her father thinks it's feasible, I'll pack up and go to Beijing. I bought a house in Haitang Hutong there, and I can't let Sanya there get married."

"It's such a reason!" The old lady of the Chen family nodded: "I think it's okay, not to mention other things, Jia Jing was still your father-in-law's upper peak. Before Qingzhou was lost, he was a character. His wife even It's a woman who doesn't give in to a man, and Jia Rong looks at him and can't beat Sanya. In the future, Sanya will have the final say on the affairs of this mansion. His father and the emperor have said that he can't go back to Beijing. It's just this dowry... I'm afraid it's hard to say."

Hearing this, Chen Gaoshi, who held his little grandson in his arms, was stunned: "Forget it... No matter what, the third girl is married, we can give as much as we can. We can make up a 120 to carry it out. I Go back and talk to the eldest girl and the second girl, no matter how you contact Jia Jing in the capital, it will be good for the two of them in the future, right?"

"It's okay for the eldest girl, but I'm just worried that the second girl will fight for the top." The old lady of the Chen family sighed.It's just that when she heard that she wanted to serve people with tea and water, she said she didn't want to go, so she let Sanya go.This marriage seems to be much better than hers. If there is more dowry... I'm afraid it will be another mess.

Hearing her mother-in-law's sigh, Chen Gao was also upset for a while.But she was thinking, she couldn't cut off the third girl's future just because of the second girl.It wasn't that she didn't struggle with sending her over to serve as a girl by her side.But at the end of the day, looking at Sanya's well-being during the holidays, her kung fu and wearing belts and food, she felt a lot more relieved.

Now the Chen family has access to the Seven Embroidery Workshop, and Chen Shiyou received the letter from his wife just in the afternoon when he got off work.After changing clothes and sitting in the study, looking at the letter from his wife and the letter from his mother, he thought about it carefully and called for his teacher.

This master was his childhood friend, and he became a counselor with him because he failed two Jinshi exams.

"If Jia Jing hadn't come out of the mountain, then it would be fine if Jia Zhen in the Ningguo Mansion controlled the marriage. Now that the ghost scholar has entered the court again, we don't know what happened to the people around him. You and I knew the demeanor of that man back then. We started from the original The Qingzhou army has arrived in the current Haizhou, and Nan'an Mansion has always wanted to win over. Wasn't it still about the three girls in the hall on the eve of the eve? In this way, if the old subordinates get married, they will not offend Nan'an Mansion."

Hearing what his old friend said, Chen Shiyou nodded: "I was thinking about it that way too. Besides, Jia Rong looked at the records and said that she was weak. It's not like you didn't see my girl during the New Year's Day. She was so scared at that time. It might not even be able to beat the gangsters from the Wuyi faction." Thinking of his daughter's kung fu, Chen Shiyou is even more sure of her daughter's happiness.If you are not obedient, just beat them until you are obedient.

"Then you'd better answer as soon as possible. If this matter is delayed, there may be no change. It's not a family who are staring at the location of the ghost scholar's granddaughter-in-law." Seeing the friend's appearance, the other party quickly reminded.You know, Jia Jing's granddaughter-in-law, who is currently on a pilgrimage, is in high demand.

When An Lan received the reply from the Chen family, the Chen family had already sent people into Beijing through the Qixiufang Waterway.Renovate the house and prepare to discuss marriage.It was the first time for An Lan to be a middleman, and this matter looked lively.She asked Yingluo to pack her luggage and go home, and asked her to bring her own letter.The people around me were engaged to get married, so the dowry came from her Seven Embroidery Workshop.They have a half-teacher friendship, and these things must be explained clearly.

The marriage of Jia Jing's grandson, Jia Rong, was put on the agenda when Yi Shi saw it as a matter of seeing a girl years ago.Some are thinking about giving gifts in the future, and some are thinking about whether they can become in-laws.This statement settled the girl of the Chen family in Haining, which completely put people's minds at rest.It was a bit late when the news reached the palace.The two families have already passed the ceremony. Originally, Zhenzong wanted to bestow Qin Keqing on Jia Rong.Right now, the imperial decree can only be burned, Qin Keqing thinks otherwise.

After all, Qin Keqing is different from those two twins. When the child was sent to the Huimin Department, he was already over one year old.He was the one who knew about his birth back then, and everything is well documented.After all, she is his real niece.The grandson who originally looked at Jia Jing was a good one, but he was silent and timid.But in the end, let others take the lead, he, the emperor, can't mess up other people's marriage in arbitrarily and unreasonably.Jia Jing used too many places, and too much utilitarianism is not good.

Thinking about it this way, he threw away the paperwork on the side and asked someone to draw up a new imperial edict.This Qin Keqing has become a real princess from the original princess.Now that the girl is older, it is also time to find relatives.He specifically stated that in this year's imperial examination, those who are of the right age in Sanyuan and those who have no marriage contract can be hired as son-in-law.As soon as the news came out, the candidates who participated in the Jinshi examination were all excited.They still have three days to take the exam, and as long as they are outstanding, they can marry a princess and go home to rise to the top...

Because An Lan indicated a dowry of 120 sets, of which the land shop waited for her to come out with [-] sets of dowry.The rest came from the Chen family.Immediately, the two mistresses of the Chen family were relieved.Two girls in the family get married, which means a dowry of sixty units.Now An Lan has [-] sets, so no matter how jealous the second girl is, she can't say anything.

Yingluo returned to the Chen family's house in Haining to prepare for marriage, and only waited for the day to go to the capital through the waterway.
