[Red Mansion] Marrying a wife like jade

Mrs. Shen saw Daiyu's confusion, and gently touched her delicate face: "You are still young, and you don't know the burden of being famous."

Daiyu understood a little: "Is it like Brother Ai?"

The old lady nodded: "Yue'er is also blessed, and the two gentlemen are planning for him. If Li Xi refuses to enter the court as an enshrinement, do you think he still has such a leisurely life now?" She said meaningfully He looked carefully at the porcelain jar on the ground.

Others who are not familiar with Shen Yue's paintings can't see it, they just feel that the paintings on these porcelain jars are not as dull and blunt as those painted by ordinary craftsmen.Everyone in the Shen family could recognize that these vats must have been written by Shen Yue himself.It is not easy to burn such a large cylinder, and the probability of producing a defective product is much higher than the probability of producing a genuine product, so Shen Yue certainly did not only draw these six, maybe eight, ten or even more.

These all take effort.

They knew it, and Daiyu knew it even better, but she was still puzzled: "There has never been a woman in charge of worship in the court."

The old lady smiled and said, "But if others know that you are also good at painting, because you are afraid that the royal taboo will not be good enough to ask Yueer to ask you, should you paint or not? If you paint for this person, that person will also ask for it." what to do?"

Daiyu nodded thoughtfully, she prefers to do freehand brushwork of landscapes, and the purpose of painting portraits is to let the elders see the recent situation of Fang Shi and others, which is not what she likes.Now that the old lady said so, it was considered in her mind, so she nodded naturally.As soon as he agreed and remembered something again, hesitation appeared on his face.

Mrs. Shen was watching the old lady making out with Daiyu, and seeing her face change, she couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, but why are you uncomfortable?"

Daiyu shook her head in embarrassment: "Fang's grandmother already got a portrait." If it was rumored from Fang's family that she could draw, and she told people that she couldn't draw, wouldn't it make people think that she was too good at lying?

The old lady smiled reassuringly: "When you went there that day, someone already told them. Even your Liu family's grandmother had already sent someone to tell. No one will tell it again."

Daiyu let go of her worries and was happy to talk to the old lady and others.Mrs. Liu asked someone to send a new dress cut for Daiyu: "I wanted someone to send it to you during the Chinese New Year, but I was afraid that your figure would not fit me well. I know that you don't wear outer clothes. My girls did it."

Daiyu's face was also red when she said it: "I don't dare to be my aunt's love, I have to work for the girls in my aunt's room."

"It's too late for them to be happy to be able to make clothes for you." Liu Shi laughed, not saying that she knew that the girl in her room made clothes for Daiyu, and Shen Yue, who never rewarded others alone, took out a few horses from the palace The material rewarded the people in his yard.Although it was only a second-class material, the fame that came out of the palace could still bluff people, making those girls scramble to be the first, wishing to make clothes for Daiyu every day.

Mrs. Shen saw that her daughter-in-law took the lead, so she asked someone to make it herself: "If you want to go out to socialize, there must be a replacement." The same four sets of brand new summer clothes.

When the old lady saw them, she laughed at them for being stingy, and she only used some worthless things to fool people. She had four gifts for Daiyu, but Daiyu refused: "I have already prepared them at home, how can I wear them?"

Everyone must ask her to accept it, and then tell her something serious: "The girl from the Mu family that your aunt asked you to pay attention to last time, the master thinks something is wrong. When you go to the flower fair in the future, you should pay more attention to it."

Daiyu was a little puzzled when she heard that, in her opinion, those girls are not as beautiful, generous, and sensible as Sister Mu, so why does the master still think it's wrong?After hearing the reason given by Mrs. Shen, I realized that it was because Mu Shilang and his father were servants in the same department. If he married the Mu family again, people might think that the two families would join forces to make Wang Shangshu empty.

Family marriage has always been like this, not only depends on the marriage partner itself, but also on the existing in-laws.For Lin Ruhai and Mu Shilang who are both servants, not only is it inappropriate for the two families to marry, but it is also inappropriate to have the same in-laws.No matter how outstanding the daughter is, Mrs. Liu has to reluctantly agree with the master's point of view.

"Sigh," Daiyu, who knew about this for the first time, couldn't help but sigh, "Sister Mu is really a good character and talent. It's a pity."

Another pity, there is no ridicule, and it expresses the helplessness of the little daughter when she first knows that the world is difficult.Adults have all experienced such growing pains, and no one can guide or persuade her except to let her figure it out.

Jia Min, who came to pick Daiyu back home, was taken aback by the big packages of the girl beside her: "How can this be done? The old lady may not dare to let you visit the door next time. Wouldn't it be a shame to come here a few more times? All the private houses were emptied."

The old lady knew that she had gone to the general's mansion in the morning, and seeing that although she was full of smiles, there was still bitterness in her eyes, she had to enlighten her from the side: "I really treat the child well, I can't bear her being a little bit wronged, as a human being. The elders are all like this. If you only want to let the younger generation repay you, is it still an elder?"

"Although dressing is a trivial matter, it is not difficult for your family. My wife and I would rather let her dress up like a flower every day. We are happier seeing it than wearing it ourselves. Even her aunt is the same, you don't have to be too humble, besides That’s outlandish.”

Jia Min knew what she said, and nodded heavily at the old lady: "In this case, I won't be polite to the old lady, I'm just sorry." After speaking, she asked Daiyu to thank her elders for the gift.He also secretly thanked Shen Shangshu for pulling out his natal nephew, and also said that Jia Amnesty wanted to come to the house to thank him in person.

The old lady repeatedly stopped her and said, "I said it's a family that doesn't talk about two families, and you are too polite. I heard that your niece and daughter-in-law are also very generous. When the family holds a flower party after the festival, Make a post for her too."

Wang Xifeng entertained Qingliu's wives with Jia Min at the Lin family's house. It was because they were half masters, and the wives joked with her because of the Lin family's face.However, it is very different to visit the Shen family with a post. It is tantamount to the Shen family opening the door for her to communicate with the Qingliu family.As long as Wang Xifeng is more humble, Jia Lian will benefit from it in the future.So even if the old lady refused to let her go, Jia Min still thanked her with a big gift.

When they returned home, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min knew the reason why the Shen family failed to choose the girl from the Mu family, and also knew that the old lady did not want rumors about Daiyu's ability to paint portraits to spread.Lin Ruhai was afraid that Jia Min would be overwhelmed, so he nodded to her and said, "This is also the truth, this is the old lady who really loves Yu'er."

Jia Min would not be narrow-minded about this, and she also felt that Dai Yuzhi was a bit unimpressive among the girls last time, and now the Shen family also intentionally let her hide her clumsiness, which is just in line with her own wishes: "That's fine, Yu My son's character is considered outstanding among her peers, and this cannot be hidden. She doesn't have to have the name of that talented girl." I suffered a lot back then, and my daughter didn't have to take her own detours.

In the evening, Lin Ruhai still found out about what happened to Jia Min at the General’s Club, so he comforted him a bit, and finally said: “The old lady doesn’t want to see you now, so she just packs up some medicinal materials and sends them to the house tomorrow. I won’t meet again in the future, old lady.” Madam may be less angry a few times."

Such a few houses are considered to have passed the festival quietly, and the heat is getting stronger day by day.Daiyu can still hide at home quietly, but Shen Yue has to go to the Imperial College to study every day.And because Shen Chao had already obtained the seventh prince's permission, he no longer went to study with the old man in the palace. He studied with the old man at home every day, and wanted to share the homework left by the old man with Shen Yue from time to time, which made Shen Yue even busier. Twelve points.

It was Shen Xin who heard that Shen Yue was studying until the second watch every day, and felt that his nephew was going to burn his body if he continued like this, so he went to Lin Ruhai and asked him to reduce his homework a little, only then did he know that his son's credit was in it.Even if he doesn't look for Lin Ruhai, others will look for him in a few days.

Lin Ruhai changed Shen Yue's homework to an article every three days, but Shen Xin added Shen Chao's article to Shen Yue's same.Aren't you willing to be the same as Shen Yue, then just try how much Shen Yue's classwork is.

Shen Chao didn't dare to complain about his father, and he still came to trouble Shen Yue every day. The two brothers slept together, often bickering and laughing. The elders in the family were delighted to see them, and sent the supplements to Shen Yue's study for free.

Gradually, when Shen Yue went to Lin's house to ask for homework, Shen Chao also followed.When Shen Chao was being corrected by his grandfather, he also dragged Shen Yue along.Fortunately, Lin Ruhai and Mr. Shen had similar academic viewpoints, otherwise Shen Yue would have been confused.

"Brother, you are my dear brother." Shen Yue bowed to Shen Chao: "Today I will accompany my teacher's wife to Zhuangzi to choose flowers, and I will not ask my husband for homework." Don't you want to follow?

Shen Chao's face is for nothing?Glaring at Shen Yue: "Didn't brother Yan also follow? I want to take care of my brother, why did I follow you?"

It turned out that it was nearly June, and the old lady's birthday was the tenth day of the lunar new year.Shen Yue said that he wanted to choose flowers to decorate the old lady's birthday, but he was afraid that the one he chose would not suit the old lady's wishes, so he wanted to take Daiyu to Zhuangzi to have a look.Of course, Jia Min would not let the two of them travel alone, but would follow.Brother Kuan heard about it, so it’s okay?He also clamored to follow, and asked someone to send a letter to Brother Yan. Brother Yan had tears in his eyes when he saw Shen Yue two days ago, like an abandoned puppy.

In this family, Shen Yue's first helpless person is Shen Chao, and the second helpless person is Brother Yan—this kid is about the same size as Brother Xun. When it comes to him, how tolerant he is.Children are the most sensitive, who knows best about their own preferences, and will most use this for their own benefit.

So Shen Yue retreated step by step, and it would be fine if he didn't say that he would respond to every request.In the end, I had to tell him that if my aunt agreed, I could take him with me: "It's just this one time, and next time I won't be able to pretend to cry now. A man, what does it look like to cry?"

Brother Yan laughed out loud, but bought one and got one free for Shen Chao. If you make Shen Yue calm, can he be calm?

Fortunately, Zhuangzi is quite big, and when Shen Yue asked people to build it, he borrowed a little bit of modern garden craftsmanship, which is known for its neatness and openness, unlike Zhuangzi's usual beauty of mountains and wild nature.

After getting out of the car, Brother Kuan and Brother Yan couldn't have enough eyesight: "This grassland is bigger than your home. Get someone to lay a blanket."

"Brother, why does this tree grow round and round, and the leaves are similar to the fence at home?"

Daiyu was also confused by the vast sea of ​​flowers in front of her eyes, she didn't know what to say for a moment, she just gasped gently.Shen Yue looked amused, and said to her: "If you like it, go and have a look. That is to say, it is shocking to see from a distance, and you can still distinguish each plant clearly when you get close."

"That's the word." Daiyu never restrained herself in front of him: "I just didn't know how to describe my mood just now." As she said that, she wanted to go to the sea of ​​flowers.

Shen Chao also knew that he took care of Jia Min to get off the car - he went to Lin's mansion quite a few times, and treated Lin Ruhai as a half-teacher, treating Jia Min just like his elders.Jia Min was also shocked by the scenery in front of him: "If it is early spring, I don't know what it will be like."

Shen Yue said with a smile: "Those are plants and flowers that people plant, and they are replenished at any time according to the seasons. Even in autumn, there are still flowers to enjoy. At that time, the teacher will post a post to invite the old lady and the others to come, and let them I like it so much that I don’t want to leave.”

Jia Min smiled and said, "I'm going to stay for two days this time." Thinking of Lin Ruhai being alone at home with no one to take care of her, she felt undecided.Shen Yue didn't persuade him, and asked someone to bring a ball of unknown material, about the size of a plate.It's still a little soft to the touch, but it doesn't feel light and has a lot of weight.

As soon as Brother Kuan saw it, he snatched it into his hands, holding it with both hands lovingly and not letting go, Brother Yan watched eagerly, and touched Brother Kuan's arms with his small hands from time to time.Brother Kuan didn't hug one of them, and the ball rolled to Shen Yue's feet.

Shen Yue kicked up, and the ball was rolled away along the grass by him.Brother Kuan and Brother Yan both groaned loudly: "The kick is dirty."

Shen Yue smiled and said to them: "It was originally made for you to kick." So that you can practice your small stature.Shen Chao resigned himself to chasing the ball for the two little Doudings without holding it in his hands, imitating Shen Yue's example and kicked, but he missed it all of a sudden, and the ball rolled away.

Brother Kuan and Brother Yan couldn't wait, and ran towards the ball with a smile.How old are they?The leg stretched out not much higher than the ball, and the person and the ball had already rolled together.Shen Chao looked amused, and decided to block the ball for the two children in front of them.

Even Jia Min was watching. Shen Yue invited her to go to the greenhouse together and he was unwilling to move. He watched the two little bean dings chasing a ball and running around, like three balls rolling together.Shen Yue asked the people on the Zhuangzi to lead Jia Min's girl to deliver the chair, set up a special big umbrella, and brought green tea, so that Jia Min could have a good time.

"Let's go," after arranging everything, Shen Yue said to Daiyu who was looking eagerly at him, "Only the two of us are working hard and going to choose flowers for the old lady."

Daiyu was also a little envious of Brother Kuan and their ball, she tilted her head and asked Shen Yue: "Brother Ai, what is that ball made of, maybe it's made smaller?"

Boy, there is no rubber in this era, so it doesn’t matter how small it is——Brother Kuan and the others played with Shen Yue who had someone blow up the bubbles of pig urine, and covered the outside with leather. Only pig urine bubbles are made.The stuffing inside is not good and I told Daiyu, so I had to say: "It's not unusual, but there are not many who know how to make it."

Daiyu is a sensible child. Hearing that there are not many people who can do it, he knows that he must not be young—but if there is a chance, brother Ai will do everything possible to find it for him.However, he was still a little disappointed, and he walked a little limply, which made Shen Yue feel distressed: "Don't worry, I'll let someone try it later, but wait a little longer."

Daiyu became happy when she heard this: "As long as it can be done, wait as long as you can." Looking back quietly, Jia Min was still watching Brother Kuan and the others play football, and whispered to Shen Yue: "Brother, don't tell your wife, I don't do it every day." To play this, just play with the little girls a few times."

It made Shen Yue's heart sour. If children are interested in football in modern times, how many junior classes would be beckoning to them.But Daiyu can only enjoy it quietly without telling her parents.

No, Shen Yue realized it all of a sudden, the way he looked at Daiyu changed!Sister Lin who likes football? !His whole body is going to be bad. Is he still the weak willow and Fufeng Lin Fairy?

Daiyu thought she had frightened Shen Yue by saying she was going to play football, so she begged even more with a smile: "It's just watching Brother Kuan and the others playing so happily, I'll try to see why I'm so happy."

Come on, it's Sister Lin who is eloquent.Shen Yue came to understand by himself as he walked: In the original book, sister Lin lived in the Rongguo Mansion almost all the time, and she didn't dare to say anything more, even if she had something she liked, she would not speak out for fear of causing trouble to others.Coupled with poor health, the only way to relieve boredom is to sit quietly and read a book.

In this life, she grew up beside her parents, and she is much more comfortable than living in Rongguo Mansion, and her personality is much more cheerful.In addition, my body has been recuperated a long time ago. Once my body is well, I can do many things instead of just reading for entertainment.Adding these things together, the current Daiyu is more lively, charming and down-to-earth than in the original book.

Daiyu couldn't hear Shen Yue's reply, so she tugged on his sleeve worriedly: "Brother Ai thinks I shouldn't want to play football?"

"No, no, no," Shen Yue waved his hands again and again: "Exercising is only good for your body, as long as you don't get tired and sweaty, don't catch the wind. Just now I was thinking about how to make the ball smaller for you a little."

Daiyu smiled smugly when she heard this.She just said, how could Brother Ai ignore her?Seeing the servant in charge of the flower house saluting the two of them, Daiyu's voice was full of joy, which made the young man unable to recover for a long time, only thinking that the girl's voice was clearer and sweeter than the maids in the village.

It is said to be a greenhouse, but in fact Shen Yue practiced the take-it-yourself doctrine.He didn't think about making a glass or something, he just asked people to repair the house tall and spacious, and repaired more windows, closed the windows in winter, only ventilated when the sun was bright, and put in a few more braziers That's enough temperature for plants to grow.

It is not that there is no greenhouse at this time, but generally those who can afford to build a greenhouse are used to grow some vegetables, so as to add some greenery to the master's dining table in the long winter.Only people like Shen Yue built a greenhouse just to grow flowers.

At this time, all the windows have been opened, and some flowers that are afraid of the sun are still placed in the room.These flowers are not the grass flowers outside in patches, they are more complete and more precious.

Daiyu had already taken a look outside the window, and found that the varieties in the Yangzhou flower house could be found at this time, so she couldn't help laughing: "That is my Phnom Penh Crane Art, and that is the Xiangfei that my wife likes. Brother, when did you Did you bring the flowers here?"

Shen Yue saw her bright smile, and his mood became brighter: "I will send a letter to Yangzhou on the [-]th. Wouldn't it be a waste for those people to bring only one letter? Each time they bring a few pots, they will be more careful. After a few trips, it’s almost time to move.”

"Then grandma won't have any flowers to reward?" Daiyu was a little worried after hearing this: "Grandma is already lonely enough when we are not around. By the way, isn't that the drunken green that grandma loves?" Anxious The circles of his eyes were slightly red, and he still remembered that Shen Yue didn't like crying himself the most. He looked at Shen Yue accusingly like a little rabbit, and wanted him to give himself an explanation.

Shen Yue couldn't hold back, and patted her on the head: "Don't even think about it. After such a long time, the flowers can be transported from south to north, and how many pots can't grow? If I don't have this ability, I will keep both What is your father doing in Yangzhou?"

It turned out that I wronged brother Ai.Daiyu wanted to make an apology, but she didn't show face, she stomped her little foot: "Who told you not to tell me earlier." She walked into the greenhouse by herself.

Shen Yue entered the greenhouse with her amusedly.Facing the flowers and plants she was familiar with, Daiyu couldn't see enough to love each one, so she discussed with Shen Yue: "Move all these pots to Mr. Li's, so it's convenient for me to see them."

"Do you think Mr. can let this go?" Shen Yue looked around by himself, still criticizing Daiyu's words: "What he likes, and what you like, have already moved there. Staying here is sent by the freshmen—— What's more, the teacher's wife is not easy to live in Mr. Li's house, and you will not have no flowers to enjoy when you come to the Zhuangzi."

Daiyu nodded in praise and said, "Brother Ai is always thoughtful." Then he laughed and said, "Then why doesn't Brother Ai choose flowers for the old lady by himself, instead of me and my wife?"

Shen Yuexu nodded at her: "You little heartless person. Can't you see that my teacher's wife is a little forced to smile these days? If she gets depressed again, Li Taiyi's medicine will be in vain. If I just invite my teacher's wife to come over to relax, She is worried about her family, so it will be different if she asks you to come, and the teacher's wife will definitely follow." As she spoke, she became proud.

It's not like Daiyu didn't have her own thoughts: "My wife goes to the mansion once, and she feels uncomfortable for a few days. Usually it's mothers, why do wives and grandmas treat us with all their heart and soul, and the old lady always plots against the wife?"

It turned out that the little girl had been thinking about it in secret for an indefinite amount of time, and no one had answered her doubts. Today, she just took the opportunity to ask her out.Although Shen Yue wanted her to be carefree and carefree, but he also knew that the dangerous world would not tolerate people made of crystal glass.Instead of letting her think crookedly, it is better to tell her yourself:

"It turns out that when my wife was not married, the old lady naturally loved her sincerely. This kind of love made the wife unable to let go of her feelings for the old lady. But when the wife got married and had her own small family, she naturally wanted to use her own The little family is the most important thing, you can't respect the old lady in everything, the old lady will feel that the wife is alienated from her."

"In addition, there are General Jia and Jia Yuanwailang in that mansion, and they each married their wives and had children. Don't they also plan for their own children? The old lady wanted to balance the two houses, so she was lucky in that mansion. If you say what you say, you naturally want to use a high-ranking gentleman to overwhelm your disobedient son. In this way, the teacher's wife becomes the person that the old lady must handle."

"In order to hold my wife, the old lady may have cried, quarreled, and pretended to be sick. If only the teacher sacrifices herself, it's fine. If the teacher is still in the interests of you and Brother Kuan , one side is the mother and the other is the children, isn't the teacher's wife in a dilemma?"

Daiyu listened and nodded: "So that's the case. Why don't you let your wife go to that mansion in the future, so that you don't bother your mind if you don't see it."

Shen Yue looked at the dark yellow skirt outside the window without any trace, and said to Daiyu: "It should be like this. The teacher's wife is just a good face, and I am afraid that people will say that she is not filial and tire the reputation of you and Brother Kuan. In fact, how many people in Beijing Married daughters are not allowed to return to their natal family unless there is a major event in their natal family. It is only because there are no elders in the husband's family that the teacher and wife can relax."

After saying this, the hem of the skirt was gone, and Shen Yue concentrated on picking out suitable flowers with Daiyu.

Jia Min didn't worry about Shen Yue and Daiyu, so she came to see it in person - speaking of the two getting older every day, although Daiyu was only six years old, Mrs. Liu had already asked her to secretly check on other girls Besides, she doesn't know what the engagement is, Jia Min doesn't believe anything.In addition, Shen Yue was already ten years old, and some boys who were governors earlier already knew a lot, so Jia Min had to guard against them.

What she didn't want to hear was her daughter's dissatisfaction with her natal family and Shen Yue's analysis of the relationship between herself and the old lady.I have to say that Shen Yue's analysis was very correct, which made Jia Min feel that he was too soft-hearted towards the old lady before.

I am also a person with children, what is wrong with planning for my children?What's more, that poisonous woman almost harmed me... Jia Min didn't dare to think about it, and became more and more determined to return to her mother's house less in the future.

It was the old lady's birthday, and it was mainly festive and lively. All kinds of bright red, bright yellow, and bright purple flowers were picked out from the greenhouse, decorating the Wanhui Courtyard into a world of flowers.

Brother Yan didn't let Shen Yue go, and got three balls from him in one go. He couldn't put it down every day, and put his own brother aside, wishing he could stick to Shen Yue every day.Shen Chao was dissatisfied, but he had nothing to do with this younger brother, so he had to think that after the elder brother was able to leave and talk, Shen Yue must not let Shen Yue take the lead.

At the end of May, the four children of the Lin family in Gusu who were rushing to take the exam finally entered Beijing, and the two brothers Shen Chao and Brother Kuan brought them to the old lady's house in Dongcheng.There are only two people in the house, but it is more than enough for four people and the servants they brought.Jia Min sent two cooks over there to prepare meals for their master and servant every day.

After the old lady and Lin Ruhai entertained the four of them separately, Lin Ruhai had already found a good husband for the four of them to study hard.In order to be close to her cousin, Jia Min also brought Daiyu to the house to have a look around, and gave each of them a set of clothes, which made these people very grateful.

This year is the [-]th birthday of Mrs. Shen, not to mention Shen's disciples all over the world, Shen Shangshu has also entered the cabinet now, who would not want to use this to show favor to the Shen family?There has been an endless stream of birthday presents since ten days ago.Fortunately, Shen's family had already made preparations, and began to receive guests since the eighth day of June. On that day, there were only close relatives left, so it was not very troublesome.

The four disciples of the Lin family were also brought by Lin Ruhai to entertain guests with Shen Xin, and the four were even more grateful.Although these four people are of different ages, but their minds are clear, can it be seen that this is the intention of the Lin and Chen families to support each other?Naturally, I spent [-]% of my energy to communicate with the guests, and dared not make any mistakes.

Shen Yue had asked for a leave of absence in the Imperial College earlier, and together with Shen Chao, entertained close relatives and friends next to Shen Xin.Everyone watched the two young men advancing and retreating smoothly, speaking politely, and acting in a clear and orderly manner, and they all sighed in their hearts that the Shen family has successors.

There was a family with a daughter who was active, intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the marriage of the two brothers in front of Shen Xin, and made Lin Ruhai beside him break out in a sweat: "If others miss Shen Chao, he can laugh at Shen Xin's response, but if they miss Shen Yue, let him do it." I can't stand it anymore.

Shen Xin is also a wonderful person. He heard people say that his son plays Tai Chi, and when mentioning his nephew, he pushed Liu Erwu even more: "Yue Er has more children because of his teacher's teaching, so his marriage is in the hands of Brother Ru Hai. We just Just watch." Unexpectedly, misfortune was drawn to Lin Ruhai.

Outsiders still think that what Shen Xin said is reasonable - everyone has eyes, who can't see that since Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing, Xiao Shen will go to Lin's mansion for eight out of ten days?It is said that he can manage half of the family in Lin's residence. Master Lin must have raised the student as his son!

Immediately, more people chatted with Lin Ruhai, and Lin Ruhai couldn't laugh or cry: "Yue'er is already engaged, why should everyone care about it?"

Few people knew about Shen Yue's engagement, but when they suddenly heard Lin Ruhai mention it, they didn't believe it but couldn't question Lin Ruhai's character.But if you believe it, your daughter will lose the chance to get a good son-in-law, and you have to ask Lin Ruhai which family Shen Yue is looking for.

Lin Ruhai couldn't help but half-confessed that he and Shen Ren had made an in-law relationship five years ago. Everyone who heard it looked at him with a look of "you are such Lin Ruhai" until he fled in despair.

Everyone thinks about it and thinks it makes sense.Just imagine if it wasn't for his son-in-law, who would be willing to give the place of the family's Imperial Academy to the students?What's more, there is a son at home!Don't say that master and apprentice are like father and son, just look at those who can come today, which one has not been a student of Shen Xueshi for decades?Isn't it the same as relying on your own ability to take the imperial examination?

As for the agreement that Shen Yue will stay with Lin's family day by day, that's even less of a problem - he is a master and apprentice, without Lin Ruhai's daily advice, Xiao Shen can rank in the front row in the Imperial College examination?

It's a pity, it's a pity, everyone still said good eyesight to Lin Ruhai and Shen Xin, and then made fun of Shen Yue.Shen Yue looked at Bai Baijing. Except for the matter with Yang Jia that day, he would not even talk much in front of outsiders on weekdays, but now he is still as plain as water, as if others are not joking about him, but he is still polite and considerate. People sat down to watch tea, and Shen Chao was extremely admired.

Even if it's like this outside, the situation with Mrs. Madam can only be changed!In the eyes of the wives, Shen Yue actually has an advantage over Shen Chao, the eldest son of the Shen family: Although his father's official position is not high, he is the legitimate son of the mansion, and if the family is separated in the future, the elders will not treat him badly.Shen Yue himself is the eldest son, he already has a great reputation at such a young age, and he also has an official position.Even if his fortune is bad in the future and the imperial examination is not good, it is indispensable for his girl to pass the door.

What's more, it will be bad luck to be enshrined in front of a saint and a young man who is loved by the queen mother and queen?

Who would have thought that Xiao Shen had already made an engagement, and that little girl who was engaged to him was standing in front of Mrs. Shen and talking!

There are not many wives who are not sour.I wanted to say something bitter, but I had to think about whether the birthday star who would smile and squint at the sight of Daiyu was happy or not, so a strange scene appeared in the Wanhui Courtyard: Everyone was talking about their children lively, but suddenly They all fell silent - it was difficult to change the topic for a while, and there must be a less blunt goal to change it.

There was a burst of crisp laughter from the crowd, and then a sharp voice came: "No wonder the old lady keeps smiling all day long. It is the blessing of all the children and grandchildren who strive for success. I don't know others well, but Brother Shen still knows something."

When everyone saw it, it was a young woman in her twenties, sitting next to Mrs. Zhang Shaoqing. After asking the people next to her, she found out that she was actually the niece and daughter-in-law of the Zhang family.Those who knew quietly knew the people around them: "It's General Jia's eldest daughter-in-law, and now she's walking with the Zhang family again." After saying that, he wanted to take a look at Jia Min.

Those who listened nodded quietly, expressing that they knew that the Lin family must have contributed to this place.It seems that the young mistress of the Jia family still needs to make friends with each other.Then I heard Jia's young mistress continue: "When I entered the door to pay respects to the old lady's birthday, I knew that the fragrant flowers in this yard must be respected by Brother Shen."

Old Mrs. Shen laughed heartily when she heard people praise her great-grandson: "How do you know?"

Wang Xifeng stood up and said with a smile: "I also went to my aunt's house a few times, and the vat of lotus flowers beside the steps was very familiar to me. A well-read and sensible person like Brother Shen didn't respect his teacher's mother, but he didn't honor the old lady. From here to there, not all the fragrant flowers in the yard of the old lady are filial to the Yue brothers."

He smiled again and said to the old lady: "I don't ask the old lady for too much reward, at least let me take one or two flowers for good luck when I leave."

"It's pitiful to see what you said, why does your brother Shen only respect your aunt, but didn't give you 01:30 points?"

"The old lady knows that I am the most discerning person." Wang Xifeng swept away the wives and wives: "Even if you haven't read the book, you still know the saying that a gentleman does not take what others like. How can I not Honoring my aunt, and taking away brother Shen's filial piety?"

The old lady Shen who said a word was even more open-minded, and pushed Daiyu beside her: "I heard your sister-in-law said that it is pitiful, you take her out to see the flowers for a while. There are other girls who are willing to enjoy the flowers, and it is also a good thing." Hospitality. I really like it and want to take it home. The old lady is not a gentleman, but she can't give it away to others."

They are all from everyone's background, who can't hear the overtones between Wang Xifeng and the old lady?They all smiled and asked the girls they brought along to enjoy the flowers with Daiyu Haosheng, but Wang Xifeng, who started the trick, sat next to Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang whispered: "Your mouth is too harsh."

Wang Xifeng uttered softly: "If it wasn't for the support of my aunt and aunt, I wouldn't even be able to enter this school today. How could I see my aunt being run on?" But she knew that if she was in the same situation as Jia Min, this niece and daughter-in-law would stand up without hesitation and divert others' attention for her.

Not to be ungrateful.Mrs. Zhang picked up the teacup by her side, took a sip comfortably, and met Jia Min's gaze.

It was Mu Wan who went out with Daiyu hand in hand, and after she was out of the sight of the adults, she quietly pinched Daiyu: "You really did a hard job of hiding us."

Daiyu smiled coquettishly and begged for mercy: "My good sister, how can I talk about such a thing? Besides, my sister never asked me, so where did I bring it up?"

Mu Wan gritted her teeth in resentment: "How old are you? Who would have thought that you were the first to be engaged? Who would want to ask this?"

But a voice from the side came in: "That's right. Even Miss Lin and Xiao Shen are engaged, why are you still going to the door of Shen's house today? She entertained us like a host. Those who don't know think... ..." He didn't go on when he said this, he just covered his mouth and laughed.

This girl, Daiyu, has also met once or twice at other flower festivals. She is a girl from the family of Li Langzhong, the official of the Ministry of Rites. She is two years older than Daiyu, and she is the most conspicuous.

Mu Wan took Daiyu's hand lightly, smiled and said to Miss Li, "I don't know Miss Li is young, or Mrs. Li didn't mention it to Miss Li. Mrs. Lin is also the grandnephew of the old lady's family. Blessing birthday is the right thing to do."

Li Zizhen and Daiyu next to her are the best. Where can I hear people say that Daiyu is short?Even if they have the same surname Li, the two families are not of the same family.She curled her mouth and said, "It was the old lady who asked Sister Lin to take everyone out to enjoy the flowers. It wasn't that Sister Lin herself had to be the host. Why did she become a master after being told by Ms. Li? Shouldn't Sister Lin respect the old lady's words?" ?”

Before the lord could speak, she was refuted one after another, and Miss Li did not show any weakness: "Anyway, she is engaged to the Shen family, so she should embroider the dowry at home, and going out to show off is because she doesn't respect boudoir training."

With such a hat off, Daiyu didn't care that Mu Wan was still holding her hand, and stepped forward to stand in front of Ms. Li: "I want to ask Ms. Li, why is there such a sentence in the boudoir training, who is engaged to marry?" Can you disobey the elders' orders?"

"This..." Miss Li was at a loss for words for a moment, mainly because she didn't expect Daiyu to stand up and argue by herself.Shouldn't a lady cover her face and cry in shame when she hears others questioning herself? Why is this Lin girl so shameless and brazen?

"It's still Ms. Li who thinks that I know now that ten years later, I will
