[Red Mansion] Marrying a wife like jade

Daiyu also walked slowly, and looked back at the girls from time to time.Shen Yue knew that she must be worried about the girls spreading gossip, so he comforted: "Don't worry, Master's family management is getting stricter now, so there must be no chattering slaves."

As for Daiyu, she was hesitant to speak, she only quickened her pace by one point, and then slowed down after two steps: "Brother Ai, did you suffer from trouble in the household department?"

"How could it be?" Shen Yue replied knowing that she was just looking for something to say, "Those people have been with my grandfather for many years, and one or two of the newly appointed people are not as good as me. kill him."

Daiyu also smiled when she heard this: "Everyone convinces others with virtue, but brother Ai only thinks of superiority to overwhelm others."

Shen Yue acted like a dude: "It's easy to overwhelm people with high grades, so why bother to convince others with virtue? I didn't make any mistakes. If you want to make things difficult, you just want me to be afraid of him, so it's better to let him Scared of me."

Daiyu's heart moved when she heard this, and a smile spread on her face: "Well, I'll wait for brother Zhanai's favor, and use my grades to suppress others." After speaking, she realized that she had been led astray, and she was so angry He stomped his feet straight: "Brother Ai led me to it, I will tell my father to go next time." After speaking, he stuffed the things in his hands into Shen Yue's hands, and turned around and went back regardless of whether he had reached the second door yet.

Xueyan hurriedly stopped her own girl: "I agreed to send Mr. Shen off, why did you get annoyed halfway through the journey? The girl's temperament is more and more free." Daiyu was a little guilty when she stuffed things for Shen Yue, and let Xueyan say this His face became even hotter: "Just go back to your wife, he is familiar with this way, can you still lose it." Just go by yourself.

Xueyan couldn't help it, and bowed to Shen Yue apologetically, but still chased after her girl.

Shen Yue watched Daiyu go away, touched the smooth and soft cloth in his hand, and guessed that this small ball must be a handkerchief.Can't help laughing at Daiyu's back.This little girl probably knew that Mrs. Li had given her a handkerchief before her elder brother took the exam, so she gave it to herself with the book bag she gave to her brothers today.

"Why are you smirking here by yourself?" Lin Ruhai was about to go back to the inner courtyard to have dinner with Jia Min, and when he saw Daiyu halfway there, he got angry with Shen Yue.He also had the same thought as Jia Min, fearing that Daiyu would always make Shen Yue cold, but who would have thought that Shen Yue would smile silly at Daiyu's back.

This heart let go, but he felt awkward that his daughter would be abducted, and his attitude towards Shen Yue suddenly became stiff.Hearing Lin Ruhai's question, Shen Yue hurriedly nestled the handkerchief in his hand, and then saluted Lin Ruhai and said hello: "Mr. I'm going out, I don't want to be in the mansion."

How can you care about whether I am in the mansion?The more Lin Ruhai thought about it, the more he felt that Shen Yuexiao was disgusting, and he didn't have a good voice when he said it: "I don't know what you are busy these days, why didn't I see you send homework?"

The words were spoken casually, and after finishing speaking, Lin Ruhai realized that Shen Yue had won the first prize in the imperial examination, and he was no longer that naughty boy who needed to show him his homework from time to time.All of his students have already gone out to serve, and it seems that he is really old.

Shen Yue didn't dare not to return: "I tidy up the study for my grandfather these days, and I didn't do my homework."

This gave Lin Ruhai a step: "Even if you are an official, you should not delay this book. It is true that reading the book is beneficial." Thinking about it wrong, I added: "Don't read those idle books."

Shen Yue only felt that the handkerchief in his hand was unusually warm, and he kept answering Lin Ruhai's scolding like the wind.Lin Ruhai lost his temper because of his docile attitude: "Why don't you go back home soon? You are also an official now, so you should go to Shangguan's house."

Isn't he in the home of the biggest Shangguan?Shen Yue didn't dare to reason with Lin Ruhai, and after saluting again, he carefully left the house and got into the car.It was already dusk after this delay, the carriage was already dark and there was no light, Shen Yue only spread the veil on his knees, stroked the veil, smiled once and then again at the dark carriage.

Brother Xun divided the four schoolbags according to their ages, and kept walking around the main hall of Wanhui Courtyard with each of them hanging on their sides, causing Li Shi to laugh and say: "If it wasn't for my clothes, You can’t attract Yu’er’s school bag, you only know to thank sister, why didn’t anyone come to thank sister-in-law?” The four of them thanked Mrs. Li again in a noisy manner.

Shen Chao hurriedly drove the brothers aside: "I don't see you going to study at night at this time, so why don't you stop studying during the Chinese New Year? Me and your second brother..."

Brother Xun took Brother Yan out early: "We remembered that you and my second brother studied until the third watch every day, so we were able to have two tops in one school. Don't worry, Brother Yan, I will have a good relationship with Brother Yan in the coming year. If you go to take the exam, you will win three yuan and come back to show you, and let the elder brother sweep the yard for us." Brother Ming and Geer also went out hand in hand, or they would be the ones who would not listen to the nagging.

The eldest sister-in-law is here, and Shen Yue doesn't want to stay any longer, but Li Shi calls her back: "Second brother, wait a step."

Shen Yue didn't know what she was going to say, so he hurriedly stopped and waited for the next sentence.Mrs. Li was a little embarrassed and said: "The wife said that the second brother sent those flowers away. I don't know if there are any rich ones besides the ones used at home. If so, I would like to share two pots."

"What kind of big deal is this? I just tell my elder brother what kind of flowers my sister-in-law likes. I'll have someone remind my sister-in-law. It just happens to be a few days before I think I can make it in time." Too careful, obviously the elders in the family are not harsh people, but also afraid that she will compare with Yu'er and treat her more tolerantly than ordinary daughter-in-laws.

Li's face was a little red, if she could, she didn't want to tell her brother-in-law, who let her aunt hear that a pot of flowers can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver, and thought it was profitable, so she sent letters every day to ask for it.

"It's my natal sisters who love flowers. There is nothing to appreciate in this winter except plum blossoms. I heard that the flower house in our house produces good flowers. I think there are two pots of rich ones." Li said, her voice was almost inaudible.

Shen Yue still smiled: "Although I let people take care of that greenhouse, it really doesn't belong to our mansion. It's just that there is no one in my husband's mansion, so I, as a disciple, came forward to run for it. After all, it was just for It is convenient for the elders of the two houses to look at the flowers. What kind of flowers the sister-in-law wants, just tell the eldest brother, and if there are any flowers, they will be sent back to the house."

Even if Mrs. Li didn't want to see the flowers herself, then he didn't have to be a good person, and he didn't know the daughters of the Li family, so why should he force flowers for them?Besides, I just looked at the handkerchief that Daiyu gave me, and I was thinking in my heart to imitate Daiyu's three masterpieces on the handkerchief and the last one, so I don't have the time to talk about it.

Mrs. Li wanted to thank her, but Shen Chao had already stopped her: "It's just two potted flowers, and it's just this time, so don't take it to heart." Mrs. Li's heart kept beating when she said that.Looking at my mother-in-law and grand-mother-in-law again, it was as if they hadn't heard their uncle and sister-in-law talking, and they talked with the old lady about how to hold a banquet on New Year's Eve, and they were a little relieved.

When the young couple also returned to their yard, Mrs. Liu also sighed softly.Mrs. Shen thought for a while and still wanted to say: "It's good for the in-laws to be close, and there should be a degree. Don't worry about Yue'er's words, the greenhouse is indeed owned by the Lin family."

Mrs. Liu smiled wryly: "Why don't I know this? It's just that I heard that this year's flowers are two cents more expensive, and Yue'er is usually a filial person. If you have good flowers, you can move them back to the house to distribute them. Chao's daughter-in-law is usually Seeing is also a person who knows the importance, why this time..."

Mrs. Shen only asked Mrs. Liu to go back and beat her daughter-in-law slowly, maybe because her family treated her daughter-in-law too leniently, which made people feel unsatisfactory.Liu gave another wry smile: "It's fortunate that my brother and sister are not here today, otherwise I would really be ashamed."

At this time, the old lady said: "Yue'er is not at a disadvantage, Chao'er knows it well. If you want me to say that you two don't need to be busy, it's better to wait and see how Chao'er handles this matter." It's right, but Mrs. Li is the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, so she should show her some dignity.

Thinking about the few words her son said just now, Mrs. Liu obviously had the intention of quitting next time, so she followed the old lady's advice to teach the son face to face and teach the wife behind the scenes, and see if the son speaks well.

Shen Yue didn't care what these women thought, he went back to his room and wrote the poems he had prepared on the paper, looked at them for a while, carefully sealed them, and looked at them again with the handkerchief before falling asleep.

When she saw Daiyu, she felt uncomfortable and took it out. Yesterday, the little girl knew that someone had given her a handkerchief, so she should be more mysterious.So he and Daiyu accompanied Mr. Li to chat some gossip.

Mr. Li was also happy to see the two of them coming over at the same time, and when he heard that the Lin family had to invite him to celebrate the New Year, he refused in his mouth, but his heart was a little moved.When Shen Yue persuaded him from the side, he agreed.

Daiyu saw that the main thing was finished, so she said to Mr. Li: "Even if Mr. Li is going to spend the New Year with us, I will pick a few more pots of flowers and bring them back. I was afraid that Mr. Li would be lonely and leave it for Mr. Li to appreciate. Why not?" Let's enjoy it together."

Shen Yue listened with a smile: "Yesterday my sister-in-law also said that her natal sister also wants two pots of flowers, why don't I pick them together with you."

Seeing that Daiyu gave him a strange look and then remained silent, she didn't know what was going on, but Daiyu was about to go out by herself.Mr. Li funnyly waved to Shen Yue to signal him to take it easy, and Shen Yue followed him to the greenhouse.

"Brother Ai, let's pick first." Daiyu asked Shen Yue to pick first with a straight face.

Shen Yue didn't dare to take the lead at this time: "It's just the first time my sister-in-law opened her mouth, so I don't want to give it away. Who knows what kind of things her sister likes, but you pick the rest, just give her two pots. Really, we sell everything in our shop, let the servants buy whatever you want, and you can do whatever you want."

He and his party said that Daiyu's face was relaxed, and she had already smiled a little later: "I just said that because we are all relatives. If I go to the store to buy it, it will become a business? My brother doesn't even understand this principle." Don't you understand?"

I understand, I understand very well, and I also understand that if you really choose yourself first, you will have to ignore me for a few days.Shen Yue wiped off the cold sweat in his heart, while looking at the remaining flowers of Mr. Li, he took out the poem he made yesterday to Daiyu: "Mr. Please sister correct me."

Daiyu didn't take it seriously, took it over and took a closer look, and let out a soft cry, her face flushed, and her eyes watery: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Put the paper away carefully, but dare not talk to Shen Yue again.

Are your poems too explicit?Shen Yue wrote the pen after deliberation and deliberation yesterday, and he thought that there was not a single word beyond it.That's right, the little girl must have also connected her poem with yesterday's handkerchief, so she became shy.

Even after trying to understand Daiyu's intentions, Shen Yue didn't want to embarrass her, so he pointed to this pot and said that Daiyu would take it home as a reward, and took the vulgar pot that he said was flamboyant, and just gave it to Li Shi.Daiyu ignored him at first, but when he mentioned Li Shilai, she couldn't help retorting: "Sister-in-law's sister, don't be so negligent."

Shen Yueke waited until she spoke, and hurriedly said: "How do you know, if she is really sister-in-law's sister, I will not be like this." Seeing Daiyu's small eyes flying over like knives, he couldn't help being happy: "Listen to me. Big brother I have already told me that sister-in-law is the only girl in their room, and the girl mentioned yesterday is from her natal family's third room."

Daiyu didn't care about flying the knife again: "That's great, I only hope that I have a few sisters who can go with me."

Shen Yue asked amusedly: "The girls from the General's Mansion are also considered your sisters, do you dare to walk with them?"

"What are you talking about?" Daiyu heard Shen Yue mentioning the general's mansion, and she felt aggrieved for her mother: "I just went out with Sister Yingchun two more times, and the old lady complained to her wife, why didn't she take Sister Tanchun with her?" Go out together. You also know that many girls don’t like concubine sisters very much. Sister Yingchun was gradually accepted because her eldest uncle was of high grade and she was the only girl in the family.” What is the grade of the second uncle and the third sister is a What kind of temper, doesn't the old lady know?

Shen Yue lightly touched Daiyu's head, only to feel that soft blue hair slid straight into his heart, and comforted her, saying: "So you don't have to feel regretful that you don't have sisters to walk with you, and the teacher's wife is too Don't be offended by the old lady's words. The old lady Jia can only complain a few words in front of the teacher's wife, but she can't really push the third girl over."

"That's Sister Tanchun," Daiyu cast a reproachful look at Shen Yue, "It's not stuffed, it's like an object."

Shen Yue thought to himself, does this Rongguo Mansion treat all the girls as things that can be exchanged for glory?Suddenly remembering Jia Min's confession that he had found a new Jinshi for Yingchun, he asked Daiyu, "Are there any brothers who are about the same age as the second girl?"

Daiyu understood what she said, and shook her head regretfully: "Brother Ai, why are girls so harsh in this world?"

Even if Shen Yue was a human being in two lifetimes, he knew that no matter which one he was in, it was unfair to women, so he wanted to do his best to make Daiyu live a more comfortable life.But as Daiyu grows up day by day, she still knows the injustice in this world.

"Actually, you can also think about it this way." Shen Yue thought about it and gave Daiyu an idea.The idea is simple to say, that is, since you can't escape the rules, you should learn the rules by heart, and then give yourself the greatest relaxation and freedom within the scope allowed by the rules.

"Then Brother Ai thinks, is it allowed or not allowed by the rules to accompany me to pick flowers like this?" After Daiyu left this sentence, Ren Chenyue was dumbfounded, and walked away by himself.

Yes, is this rule allowed or not?Shen Yue doesn't care whether the rules allow it or not, he only knows that his wish for many years has finally come to fruition, although two days ago he still felt that talking about love with ten-year-old Daiyu was a beast, but he didn't know where it came from. Already tempted, I have no reason to suppress it.

Shen Yue was very happy in his heart, and he acted very generously. He made people move four pots of fragrant flowers that Daiyu didn't care for, and sent them directly to Shen Chao's yard.Mrs. Li was complained by Shen Chao yesterday. It was just when she was suffering that she couldn't tell. Seeing that Shen Yue asked someone to send flowers, the words were too bad to send to her mother's house, but she also asked someone to bring the words to her. own mother.

Mrs. Li was also furious when she heard this, and she wanted to talk to the third child's family, and she was in the next year, and if she didn't talk about it, she was afraid that something like this would happen next time, and her daughter would not even think about raising her head when she was in her husband's house.After thinking about it, it was still business with Li Taiyi.What can Dr. Li do to deal with this kind of internal affairs?You can't scold your brother for a few pots of flowers.I had no choice but to persuade Mrs. Li to calm down.

Mrs. Li agreed, but when the other two sisters-in-law asked why Mrs. Li only gave flowers to the third room, but the other two aunts didn't have any pots, she gave Mrs. Li a shame: " ... What can our girl do? It belongs to the uncle's house next door, and she must not ask for it. I had to deposit money for her third aunt first, and it happened that the third younger siblings were also there. I know how expensive it is to buy."

Mrs. Li San was very proud of the flowers yesterday, but now she looks very ugly: "Didn't my aunt say she gave it away?"

Mrs. Li raised her brows: "Yes, our girl was picked and sent there for you."

Could these two sending mean the same thing?Mrs. Li San was looked down upon by the second sister-in-law and the fourth younger siblings, so she had to ask how much the four potted flowers cost.Mrs. Li knew that she was being too polite this time and it would be difficult to quit next time. Didn't you see that the two worthless people came to ask for money today?

So I kindly settled the bill for Mrs. Li San: "It's rare to find a pot of flowers in the Lin family's flower house now, not to mention the pots obtained by the third younger brother and sister. Such a variety blooms so colorfully. Listen. It is said that 200 taels of pots can’t be grabbed in the market. That is to say, our girl told the uncle in the next room to get four pots, but the money is hard to give up.”

One pot is 200 taels, isn't four pots worth 800 taels?Mrs. Li San's heart is about to bleed: her monthly bill is only five taels of silver!At this moment, I had no choice but to smile carefully: "My sister-in-law also knows that I just like to watch something new, so I mentioned it to my niece, who would have thought..."

"Third brother and sister, that's not what you said. As far as I know, you have asked people to check our girl's delivery, but it has been no less than ten times. Our girl has the cheek to ask the uncle next door to cut her off. Otherwise, she is a new sister-in-law, why bother?" Open your mouth to the uncle in the next room, let her aunt and mother-in-law think of her? How do you behave in the Shen family? It really made the Shen family spread a sentence and a half, but it just made our girl suffer for two days. It doesn't sound good."

Mrs. Li, who has been a housekeeper for many years, knows what kind of words can make the second wife and the fourth wife fight against her, three against one, and afraid that the third wife will not pay the money?She herself has only one daughter, and she has also married out. As she said just now, at most she will suffer a little at her husband's house.

The daughters of the two rooms, it's time to see each other. At this time, it is reported that the daughter of the Li family who married out is begging for things from the uncle next door, greedy for a small reputation, and the second wife and fourth wife, who are bent on climbing high, have to eat them raw Third wife?What's more, Sanfang also has a daughter who needs to find her husband's family!

Mrs. Li San was so squeezed out that she had no choice but to negotiate with the three sisters-in-law to see if each room could be equipped with a pot of flowers, and she should not be asked to pay the 800 taels of silver alone.But everyone's money is not blown by the wind, isn't it just a flower?Apart from looking rare in this winter, there is nothing special about it.

What's more, when Mrs. Li asked someone to bring the flowers yesterday, the third wife of Li specially invited the people in the other three rooms to look at them to show off. Who would pay for the rarity that has already been seen? !

Mrs. Li San had no choice but to go back to her room and take out her silver box, and ordered a woman to deliver it to Mrs. Li.Mrs. Li didn't care who the sender was, and directly ordered her decent old woman to send the money to Shen's house in front of that woman: "Make it clear to my aunt that she is a married person, and her mother's family doesn't care about it." I count on her to win glory and don't embarrass her natal family, if this happens again, I won't recognize her as a girl anymore."

Not to mention how ruthless Mrs. Li felt after hearing Mrs. Li's words, she thought that in the future she would definitely find a better match for her daughter than the Shen family, so as to suppress her sister-in-law's arrogance.Even Mrs. Li shed tears when she heard what her mother said, and promised herself that she would definitely give the money to her brother-in-law, so that she would not take advantage of others.

Where can Shen Yue receive this money?Naturally, someone sent it back again.Shen Chao personally brought the money to find Shen Yue: "You often say that your brother will settle accounts clearly, so the money must be collected." Seeing his insistence, Shen Yue had no choice but to put away the money.

Thinking about how hard this silver is, Shen Yue took out the precious stones in his private treasury, drew the pattern carefully, and personally found a jewelry-making place in the Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and doubled the amount of ICBC. , Got ten gold hairpins before the New Year's Eve.

I don't know what the manufacturing office added to the gold. Although the hairpin doesn't look very heavy, it is very solid and stiff. The patterns on it are also unique, and the gemstones are wrapped delicately.Taking advantage of the opportunity when everyone was paying their respects in the Wanhui courtyard, Shen Yue started from the old lady and went straight to Mrs. Li's place, and there was no one left behind.

Mrs. Li asked her mother to scold her once, how dare she pick it up?It was Fang who said with a smile: "He has a lot of good things in his hand, which is nothing. If there is nothing to honor the old lady this year, we will scold him."

Seeing her mother-in-law also nodded, Li Shi carefully asked people to take away the gold hairpin, and listened to all the mother-in-laws talking about how to celebrate the new year in the mansion.
