[Red Mansion] Marrying a wife like jade

Shen Yue's face turned dark all of a sudden, if the one in front of him wasn't Jia Min, he wanted to ask him directly if he had lost his memory.Jia Min also saw that Shen Yue's face changed suddenly, and only after thinking about it did he realize that his words might have made Shen Yue think more.

"It's not what you think." Jia Min hurriedly comforted Shen Yue: "As I said just now, Yu'er is already ten years old, and the second niece of my natal family is three years older than Daiyu, and she should be seen Time. So I want you to see if there are any suitable people in the same year."

Don't tell me sooner!Shen Yue touched his little heart, and looked at Jia Min puzzled: "The second girl in the General's Mansion? Isn't there General Jia and the General's wife in the General's Mansion, as well as Jia Shizi and his wife, why is the teacher worrying about it? "

Jia Min couldn't help sighing: "If they have a way, they won't ask me for it."

In the past two years, the general's mansion has been divided into two factions. Jia's mother and Jia Zheng's family always want Jia Min to pull him out. .

Seeing that Yingchun was getting older, she also went out with Wang Xifeng as a guest several times, and met some scholarly women and sisters with Daiyu, and was missed by Jia Mu again.From Jiamu's point of view, this kind of Spring Festival is much more useful than the Ermu in the original book, so it should be used to marry aristocratic families so as to gain some benefits for the government.

If the marriage partner she wanted could help Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng would acquiesce.But Mother Jia actually wanted to send Yingchun to be a concubine for the King of Beijing County, so the people in the big house had to think too much.

Yes, the King of Beijing still has the title of a county king, but the Palace of Beijing lost its military power long before the death of the old King of Beijing. Be a literati.Therefore, she had a lot of contacts with Jia Zhengyifang, and when Mrs. Wang was in charge, she also had a lot of contacts with the female family members of the Prince's Palace in Beijing County.

After Wang Xifeng took charge of the family, Jia Lian received advice from his uncle, and had less and less contact with these martial arts families. Except for some gifts on the third day, he had no contact with the Beijing Palace.If Yingchun was sent to the Beijing Prince's Mansion, would the Dafang be the one who benefited?

Don't say that Yingchun is the girl of Dafang, so she should get close to Dafang.You must know that Yingchun went to the Beijing Palace just to be a concubine!This concubine's family should not be regarded as serious relatives, even if Yingchun can win the favor of King Beijing, what about the princess?He will hate Da Fang even more because of this.At that time, let alone the benefits, Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng will have to try the methods of rubbing people that Jia Min just told Daiyu!

The king of Beijing County may be closer to his second wife because of his love for Yingchun, but the eldest wife may have aroused the hatred of the princess, so Wang Xifeng will not do a loss-making business.However, Mother Jia has already been let out, and if she wants to change, she can only be persuaded by the excuse that Jia She loves her daughter and can't bear to let her be a concubine and wants to be a good lady for others.

Is it so easy to be a good lady?At any rate, Yingchun was also the only girl in the General's Mansion—at this time, from Jia She to Wang Xifeng, the second householders were excluded from the General's Mansion—you can't just find a commoner and marry Yingchun.

But if you don't marry ordinary people, the honorable family who can still maintain the status of Yingchun concubine, Wang Xifeng and others also know that it is better not to let Jia Lian clean up the mess in the future, not to mention helping Jia Lian.

After thinking about it, I decided to focus on the literati, and this new Jinshi became the best choice-even if the family background is lower, I will always have real talents and learning if I can pass the Jinshi exam, and I will wear it for a few years There is always a bright future.

The current Wang Xifeng is not the foolish and bold person in the original book who thought that even if his family was accused of treason, he would not be afraid. Jia Lian’s correspondence in the household department is also a sixth- and seventh-rank petty officials. Small, as long as you have some real power, you are not afraid of the truth that no one will come to your door.

But among Jia Lian's contacts, firstly, there is no one who is as old as Yingchun, and secondly, Wang Xifeng still thinks that Jia Lian will really become a prince in the future, and her brother-in-law is a post-writing style. Learn how to catch a son-in-law from other people's lists, and catch a good man for Yingchun among the new scholars.

Even though Jia Min hesitated to speak, Shen Yue still understood.Although Wang Xifeng also has her own selfish intentions in this move, it can really change the fate in the original novel of Yingchun, and it can even keep the general's mansion away from the Beijing Palace, which has an ambiguous political position.Things are good things, Shen Yue is not without his own concerns.

"Master, although Miss Jia is three years older than Yu'er, she's not in time yet." I am the youngest Jinshi in the new department, and Shen Chao is the second-to-last youngest by two years older than me. At the age of ten years old, the difference between Yingchun and Yingchun is too far.

Jia Min also knew that the difficulty was not small: "It doesn't matter how old you are, even if the family is poor. I'm afraid that the old lady will not be willing to let people spread the word, then Yingchun will be..."

Based on Jia Mu's behavior in the past, it is really uncertain, so Shen Yue had no choice but to say to Jia Min: "That is, Mrs. Jia Shizi is in charge of the house now, and when the servants are told to shut up or the old lady wants to pass something, let her know." , it shouldn’t be difficult.” Isn’t it just a good time to clean up the disobedient slaves in the general’s mansion?

It had no choice but to be like this.Jia Min sighed: "You should also pay attention, I will also tell Lian's daughter-in-law."

Shen Yue did not persuade Jia Min not to be hurt by this, but to be hurt more. See how Jia's mother kissed her granddaughter, and you will know how much her so-called love for Daiyu and Brother Kuan is true How much is false.And there will be no day when the brain has a twitch and has to let Daiyu and Brother Kuan, who are grandchildren, honor their grandmother.

Jia Min knew that the most important thing for the Shen family right now was Shen Chao's marriage, so she didn't want to stay with Shen Yue, so she drove him back to the scholar's mansion early to help.Let Shen Yue say that in the ancient Six Ceremonies, there is no such thing as males, and he can only accompany Shen Chao to greet his relatives when they greet them in person.

But Jia Min and Fang's obviously didn't think so, even Liu, who had been with him for these years, trusted Shen Yue with how to arrange the mansion that day.Shen Yue took this opportunity to protect Daiyu and went to Li's house, let Daiyu ask Miss Li who is his future sister-in-law's preferences, and then happily accompanied Daiyu to Zhuangzi to choose Huamu returns home.

It wasn't for this kind of welfare, Shen Yue wanted to report to the Imperial Academy in advance for work - this ancient wedding was too particular, and Shen Chao was the first one in their generation to get married, everything had to be decided by this wedding Set out the rules for the next five weddings.

Doesn't this mean that the wives and grandmas in Beijing immediately felt sour when the Shen family's dowry was revealed?Not to mention how rare the live geese are in this season, nor how exciting the wishful gift from the imperial court is, but just looking at the 5 taels of gift money, it was actually carried into Li Yuanzheng's house, which shows that the Shen family is satisfied with the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law .

Although the two families had already discussed the dowry gift, Mrs. Li still smiled happily at the dowry gift from the Shen family—except for tea and wine, the Li family would put everything in the dowry for the girl, but after this It's my girl's private room!

It's really not that Mrs. Li has shallow eyelids, it's really that the situation in Li Yuanzheng's family is different from that of Shen's family: Li Yuanzheng himself is an imperial doctor, and he can diagnose pulse and prescribe prescriptions after he is over seventy years old, so he is in good health.Just because he has been in good health, his son has not been born less.There are many sons, and grandsons are indispensable.There are more than 30 people in a big family, the master alone, and the daily expenses can be imagined.

Miss Li's father is the eldest son, and also works as an imperial physician in the imperial courtyard.However, Li Yuanzheng's wife has passed away. Mrs. Li, the eldest son's daughter-in-law, is the head wife, and she has to worry about how to save money at home from time to time: Li Yuan is rewarded from time to time, but few of these rewards can be exchanged for silver. There are a lot of food and social activities at home, which is just decent.

Just like in Miss Li's dowry, most of the jewelry on the head and face came from the Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They were obtained by Li Yuanzheng's pulse diagnosis for the nobles in the palace over the years.Even precious medicinal materials and other things are not difficult for the Li family.

The difficulty lies in the girl's money box!Li Yuanzheng's name is well-known, and the Li family is also very respected when they go out, but this can't be exchanged for money-there are many Li family students who study medicine, and it is not enough to learn medicine well. How to debate the principles of medicine, how to brew it to bring out the best medicinal properties of the medicinal materials... Even if Li Yuanzheng can take him to the imperial hospital to experience it for a while, he can only bring one or two of his proud children and grandchildren, can't everyone take it?

This will cost you your own money!Most of the Li family's income is spent on this, and with the large number of grandchildren in each house, the money used for marriage is limited.That day, Mrs. Li did not expect her daughter to be photographed by Mrs. Liu. After the surprise, she also began to worry about how to prepare the dowry for her daughter.

The four people live together, even if Mrs. Li's bowl of water is flat on weekdays, some people will say some irrelevant things.The mother-in-law left early, and she had to endure many things as the elder sister-in-law.When preparing the dowry for Miss Li, the three sisters-in-law said they were helping, but which ones were not watching her every move, just to see if she took more things from the father-in-law and put them in the daughter-in-law's dowry?

It's about her daughter's life, Mrs. Li has already subsidized half of her dowry into her daughter's dowry - the Shen family is a first-class family in Beijing, and they don't usually behave extravagantly, which doesn't mean they have no money.But Mrs. Li's dowry is only mediocre, and there are three other daughter-in-laws watching, and the daughter-in-law even gave birth to her granddaughter!Therefore, Mrs. Li prepared only 2000 taels of silver for the girl's press box, which was filled quietly behind the three daughters-in-law's backs.

It's all right now, my daughter has the 5 taels of silver, so she can buy some Zhuangzi or set up a shop, and if she gets her annual income in her hands, it can be regarded as a living money that can be rewarded to the servants.Pointing to the [-]-acre medium-sized farm that the father gave to his daughter as a dowry, it would be good if the daughter didn't take money to subsidize it after a year.

Mrs. Li made up her mind to put all the betrothal gifts into Miss Li's dowry, and she ignored the bitter words of the three sisters-in-law: there are rules for marrying daughters in the public, and her daughter doesn't use much from the public. If you want to keep her daughter's dowry, then promise to keep the dowry of their respective daughters in the future.

It has to be said that Miss Li's marriage has greatly raised the hopes of all the female members of the Li family for future in-laws.Ms. Li's aunts didn't know that it was Daiyu who first took advantage of Ms. Li's gentleness and erudition, and Mrs. Liu later took a fancy to Ms. Li's integrity and peace. There is another Miss Li who can marry into another family who is also a bachelor, and even those who have big intentions think of a few princes.

The Shen family didn't know that the aunts of the Li family had such thoughts. Mrs. Shen was troubled that there was no daughter in her family, and the bride would not have a sister-in-law to accompany the groom when the time came.

"Neither of you two can live up to expectations, even if one of you can give me a granddaughter." At this time, Mrs. Shen began to complain about her daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Liu is also worried about this matter - when Grand Master Shen was wronged back then, there was no one to help him, and he wanted to take the opportunity to occupy the foundation of the mansion. After Grand Master Shen left Dali Temple, he was so angry that he directly divided the sect with those people. This made the scholar's residence not even have a close-knit girl.

Mrs. Fang looked at her mother-in-law's face, and said cautiously: "It would be fine if Yu'er was with her on weekdays. She is already familiar with Chao'er's family." Although he didn't have a daughter, he still has a daughter-in-law who can Be in a hurry.

Mrs. Shen was obviously moved, but she said: "Now everyone knows that Yu'er and Yue'er are engaged, I'm afraid Mrs. Lin won't let Yu'er come to our house that day."

This is the reason why Shen Lin's family has never announced the engagement of Daiyu and Shen Yue with great fanfare. Let's see how many times Yu'er came to the mansion less after others found out?Even Mrs. Shen secretly accused the Supreme Emperor of being too lenient.

Mrs. Fang really believed in his youngest daughter-in-law, so he smiled and pleaded with Mrs. Shen: "This is a big matter for the face of our family, I have to ask Mrs. Lin in person. At that time, we will quietly pick up Yu'er, and then tell Chao's daughter-in-law Don't talk too much. This is a good thing for Chao's daughter-in-law, and the child will know it."

"Okay, if you can really convince Mrs. Lin, I have something good to reward you." Mrs. Shen made a nod directly.

Knowing that it was not in line with the etiquette, Jia Min still couldn't stand the house's soft and hard paws. As Daiyu grew up day by day, Jia Min preferred to let the Shen family still love her as they do now, so that after Daiyu married, life would be better. It will be much better.

So when Miss Li was still in a state of anxiety, she heard a joking voice: "Sister-in-law."

Ms. Li had heard this voice before, and now she covered her head with a veil, which just covered the blushing caused by the voice, and replied with some uncertainty: "Sister Lin?"

Daiyu said with a smile: "Auntie is afraid that my sister-in-law will be bored sitting alone, so she ordered me to accompany my sister-in-law."

Miss Li became more and more curious when she heard this, but she was a bride who hadn't taken off her hijab yet. She couldn't figure out why her mother-in-law invited Daiyu, who shouldn't be in the Shen family, to accompany her, so she couldn't ask directly.

The girl who accompanied Miss Li to watch Shen Chao parade that day also became a dowry girl with Miss Li, and went forward to say hello to Daiyu: "I don't want Miss Lin to come to accompany our girl."

Daiyu just laughed lightly: "There are no girls in the mansion, the eldest brother is going to toast again, and the elders also have to entertain guests. If I don't come to accompany my sister-in-law, wouldn't it be a waste of our usual friendship?"

Miss Li had recovered from her senses, she stretched out her jade hand, the next moment she felt that her hand was being held by a delicate hand, the girl hurriedly put her on the chair, Daiyu sat down with her hands, and said softly to Miss Li: " Don't be afraid, sister-in-law, the elders in the house are kind people. Because there are few girls in the family, sister-in-law will definitely treat her as her own girl."

Miss Li replied shyly: "You are not shy, you are narrow-minded, why did you call..."

Daiyu smiled indifferently: "In my own family, why bother to stick to these things. My sister-in-law will know after a while, and the elders can't be more open-minded."

Miss Li, it should not be called Li's family now, Li's girl thought to herself: That's Miss Lin, you, people who have already engaged can go to the future in-law's house, if it's another girl, I'm afraid they will be drowned by spit up.

Just thinking that Daiyu had already said to Li Shi: "But sister-in-law, please don't tell anyone that I'm here to accompany you. This is because the mansion really has no choice but to do so. Before everyone leaves the table, I will Gotta go back."

Mrs. Li tightened Daiyu's little hand gratefully, why didn't she feel uneasy when she was sitting on the marriage bed just now?But I also know that the Shen family has no daughters, so I don't want Daiyu to accompany me without being afraid of others' reputation being ruined, so I am extremely grateful to her: "Don't worry, sister, no one will know about it."

While talking, Xueou and Xuelu came in with their food boxes, smiled and said to Mrs. Li's girl: "Our girl is afraid that grandma won't have a good meal when she wakes up early, so she specially asked the kitchen to make some delicious snacks."

Envious of Li's girl, she stepped forward and Xue Ou took out the snacks from the food box, and found that the plate was also specially selected for festive patterns, and the snacks on it were all small and exquisite, so she couldn't help but ask her girl Said: "Miss, do you want to use some? What Miss Lin prepares is what girls like to eat."

Xueou laughed at her: "You still call me a girl, be careful that the eldest son will not reward you for a while." The girl who said it blushed: "Thank you sister for reminding me." If Miss Lin is not close to her own girl, who cares if she is Didn't you offend my uncle on the first day?

Here, under Daiyu's persuasion, Mrs. Li eats some snacks, while listening to Daiyu tell the preferences of Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Liu and others, and also talk about the boys. Probably, finally laughed and said: "I don't know if the elder brother has calculated the time well, or sister-in-law still has fun to watch."

Mrs. Li couldn't help but said: "Elder Young Master, what fun does Eldest Young Master have?"

Daiyu laughed and made a bet between Shen Chao and Shen Yue that Shen Chao would sweep the yard for Shen Yue, but after the four little ones heard about it, everyone got up early, and the six together cleaned Shen Yue's yard every day to make it spotless. over again.Just five or six days before the wedding, the one-month period has expired, and Li Shi can no longer see this joy.After hearing this, Li Shi and Ya Tou were very surprised: the brothers of the Shen family are so harmonious. Is there really such a family in the world where brothers do not fight?

At this point, Li's mind was a little more relaxed, and even though he was unwell on the second day, he could still maintain a calm face and followed Shen Chao to greet the elders.The place where the ceremony was held was naturally Wanhui Courtyard, and all the elders of the family were already sitting there, which made it difficult for Li to maintain the calm on his face.

The bride should be the first to get up to wash her hands and make soup for the elders. Who would have thought that she was the last to come, so why not make the elders displeased?Especially in the Shen family, the two lived together. Li Shi, who was used to seeing his aunts and daughters making harsh remarks about everything, raised his heart in his throat, and the sound of greetings changed accordingly.

The old lady had already seen her great-grandson-in-law when she lifted her hijab yesterday, but now she heard the voice of greetings and said: "Okay, good boy, get up quickly." Mrs. Li got up wherever she dared, took the tea bowl handed over by the girl, He asked for tea with a trembling voice: "Great-grandmother has tea."

The smile on the old lady's face was even wider. She picked up the teacup with one hand, took a sip and said hello. Someone took the clothes that Mrs. Li presented with her own hands, and said distressedly: "Chao'er, hurry up and help your daughter-in-law up. Okay." My child, we have a needleworker at home, so don't do it yourself next time."

This made Mrs. Li feel a little uneasy, the clothes were made by Li Yuanzheng from the palace, not to mention the high quality, the patterns were also new this year.In order to make a good impression on her in-laws with this newest pattern, every stitch and thread is made by her hand, and there is no needle corner on the girl's hand.But listening to grandma's opinion, it seems that she doesn't quite agree with it?

But the meeting gift given by the old lady was a whole set of emeralds, which was no different from the one she got from the palace in her dowry.Li-shi looked at Shen Chao puzzled, and found that people had already turned to Shen Xueshi and Mrs. Shen, so Li-shi had no choice but to let go of her doubts, and then offered tea to Shen Xueshi and his wife.

Mrs. Shen was also very satisfied with her eldest grandson's wife, she said the same things as the old lady, and kept caressing Mrs. Li while stroking the fabric.It was still the same with his mother-in-law, Li's nerves were already numb, and he only followed Shen Chao to salute and receive the reward.

There was no such thing as Shen Ren and his wife, but Mrs. Li did not give Mrs. Fang the clothes she made herself - this is just an aunt and mother-in-law, Mrs. Li prepared a pair of embroidered shoes.

Fang's dislike and embarrassment are not as imagined, even if the rewards are only a little worse than his own mother-in-law, but such an even and clean emerald can dazzle others' eyes when worn out.

"Today, I have been honored by my sister-in-law." Fang looked at the pattern on the embroidered shoes and smiled at Liu: "It's just that we have to talk about it first, and we can't talk about it in the future."

Mrs. Li was puzzled, so she heard her mother-in-law say: "Come on, I want to know that this child is so honest, someone sent a letter to prevent her from doing these needles and threads, and her hands are rough if they are not good. Besides, in this room Who doesn't know, if I say a word, the old lady will not forgive me."

After hearing this, the old lady pointed at Mrs. Liu and said with a smile: "You are all mother-in-laws, and you are still so immature. I see your daughter-in-law laughing at you."

The bewildered Mrs. Li could only laugh along with her, and when she saw Shen Chao, she found that her husband had a serious face and winked at the number one scholar's uncle.Fortunately, Shen Yue and the others had already got up and waited to greet the new sister-in-law, and Shen Chao's expression was also fleeting.Mrs. Li was even more confused, not knowing whether the gift she had prepared was good or not, whether the elders were satisfied or not.

The younger uncles were hard to distinguish, so Shen Chao introduced to himself: "This is Yueer from the second uncle's family." Li Shi accepted the gift from Shen Yue, and then said: "This is Xuner from the second uncle's family. This is Yan'er, this is Wen'er from my second uncle's family, and this is Ne'er."

Didn't mention the second uncle's family, it's my own younger uncle in the first room, but what does it mean that the two brothers in the house are staggered?Thinking about the presents she had prepared, Mrs. Li felt like crying!

Yes, people say that the Shen family is clean and upright, and the sisters-in-law and sister-in-law are harmonious, but you are two people, so there are differences in intimacy, and the gifts I prepared also differentiated between my uncle and uncle.Now the people standing in a row have to come up with two gifts...

Only at this time did Li really understand what Daiyu said in the past about the friendship between the Shen family brothers, and how far the friendship has gone.But when she heard this, she only thought that Daiyu was betrothed to Shen Yue, so she spoke in such a way to get close to herself, and she was used to seeing the various houses in her family fighting openly and secretly, so she refused to believe it all.

Li Shi, who was secretly regretting, really didn't know how to greet his uncles.

How can it be as expected
