In the blink of an eye, it was the May Festival, Jiafu swept away the haze of the past two years, full of joy and joy, moved by Lin Daiyu's kindness and tolerance, Mrs. Wang finally abandoned her previous suspicions, and was scheduled to marry Lin Daiyu on the 12th auspicious day of the zodiac in early May.

Although this Lin Daiyu housekeeper is not as spicy as Sister Feng, because she is more educated than Wang Xifeng, and she is willing to be considerate of her subordinates, the key is to act fairly, and she is not like Wang Xifeng who changes her way to put silver in her arms, so she naturally wins the support of her subordinates, and the servants spontaneously do their best to make the marriage auspicious and good-looking for her.

Only Qing'er was in a complicated mood, on the one hand, she was happy for Lin Daiyu, but on the other hand, she felt sad, because Jia Lan wrote to the emperor Wang Qing'er's illness that had not recovered, and said that her uncle Jia Baoyu was preparing for marriage, and asked the emperor for permission to marry Wang Qing'er after taking her uncle to complete the marriage.

Jin Yao had no intention of repenting, and had already set off for Mobei to take over the position of General Mobei, the former general was too old and was allowed to return to Beijing to serve and reunite with his family.

At this time, whether Qing'er is married or not seems to have lost the meaning of blackmailing Jinyao, and the emperor agreed to Jia Lan's request, that is to say, after Jia Baoyu marries Lin Daiyu, it is Jia Lan's turn to marry Qing'er.

Although this family affair should be done, but, subconsciously, Qing'er hopes that the family affair can continue to drag on, and there is no other expectation, perhaps, just because he is still young, not yet thirteen years old, according to the laws of the Celestial Empire, fourteen years old can be officially married, girls under the age of fourteen can only be regarded as child daughters-in-law, and there will also be a marriage ceremony, but they must wait until they are fourteen years old before they can have a round house.

These days, Qing'er has been helping Daiyu buy a dowry in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, although they all go out of this mansion and bring it back, but the formalities that should be taken are still indispensable.

Lin Daiyu was grateful for Qing'er's care and recognized her as her godsister, and suddenly proposed at this time that she wanted to get on the sedan chair from Qing'er's house, that is, to recognize the Wang family as her maiden family, but Qing'er suggested that Lin Daiyu marry from the Xue family.

"Sister thinks that I am an orphan girl, will I share your blessings?" Lin Daiyu deliberately teased.

Zijuan listened to Daiyu's harsh words, and hurriedly said: "Miss Qing'er won't think like that, I guess the girl is afraid that her family is a poor family in the countryside and has wronged the girl." ”

"Sister Zijuan's words don't make people laugh, this little hoof's family is a poor family, and our family is called Huazi!" Xue Yan was counting the jewelry, and couldn't help but interject: "I heard Mingyan'er say that her orchard is as square as our Grand View Garden, such a large fruit grove, and from time to time it bears some auspicious fruits, how much do you say the annual income? Not to mention other businesses." ”

Thinking of her family's "auspicious fruit", Qing'er couldn't help but squint and laugh.

"Sister Zijuan, it's not because of our family's low rank, but for the sake of Miss Xue, and for Sister Lin's sake of getting along with Miss Xue's family in the future. ”

After listening to Qing'er's words, Lin Daiyu blurted out and asked, "Does my sister mean that she wants me to marry from Xue Mansion?"

"Exactly. Qing'er was kneeling on the kang and putting the jewelry into the box, stopped and looked at Daiyu Zhengse and said: "Sister Lin, have you forgotten that the girl of the Xue family was originally promised to the Jia family, and many people in Jinling City know about this, but now, the second young master of the Jia family has married Miss Lin, although we know the reason for this matter, but outsiders don't know, that kind of thing is not good to talk about in the sky, after Sister Baochai gets married in the future, will those seven aunts and eight aunts, or in the future, the aunts and sisters make a fuss about this matter and slander Sister Baochai?"

Everyone felt that what she said made sense, and Lin Daiyu first said with some guilt: "I only cared about my own happiness, but I forgot Sister Bao, but she didn't come to see me these days, I think she was uncomfortable, where can I find someone to ask someone to recognize the girl? If Sister Bao misunderstood, I said that I was frivolous, and I deliberately came to the door to humiliate her." ”

"I think you can try it, and it also makes a statement for the Xue family, and it also relieves the embarrassment between you, Miss Xue is a person who understands, how can there be a reason for not being willing? Besides, didn't the girl worship Aunt Xue as her godmother before? At that time, Niangniang was critically ill, and the old lady asked Aunt Xue to help take care of the house, and her old man still lived in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but because of Baoyu, she gradually became separated. ”

Being reminded by Zijuan, Lin Daiyu also laughed and said: "Exactly, I was grateful to Aunt Xue for taking care of me at that time, and I originally recognized her as my godmother, but later she was weak to me because of Sister Bao's affairs, and I should take the initiative to honor her old man." ”

After a few people discussed, they took action, and they didn't care about the dowry, so they went to prepare a few gifts first, and Qing'er accompanied Lin Daiyu to meet her godmother and ask for a monk from Xue's mansion.

As Lin Daiyu's wedding date approached, Aunt Xue's heart became more and more troubled day by day, Xue Baochai seemed very calm, she also thought that Lin Daiyu was an orphan girl, and there was no decent person on the sedan chair, but Lin Daiyu refused to come to the Xue family to recognize her relatives, so she didn't mention it, in the end, she was still a little uncomfortable.

When I arrived at Xue's house, Aunt Xue was feeding Young Master Sun to eat zongzi, because she didn't dare to let him eat too much, he made a fuss, crying so much, it happened that Lin Daiyu came to the festival with gifts, including a string of jadeite carved into the fragrant zongzi ornaments, took it out to tease Young Master Sun, the little guy was strange, and immediately stopped crying, to chase Lin Daiyu to ask for that thing, he just started to learn to speak, Daiyu changed to let him call his aunt, said that he was called aunt, this thing belonged to Young Master Sun, and the little guy kept shouting: "Dudu, Dudu......"

Qing'er looked at Kong'er and talked to Xue Baochai first, Baochai smiled: "I guess you are here for this matter today, in fact, I should have thought about it for her and automatically brought it up, just because I was afraid that my mother would not be happy, so I waited until now, she was willing to think about me, it can be seen that we should be sisters, and she asked her mother first, but it just eliminated her mother's heart disease." ”

After getting Baochai's words, Qing'er went to talk to Daiyu again, and Daiyu handed over Young Master Sun to Xiangling to take with her, and she came to give Aunt Xue a big gift, and she shed tears for no reason.

Aunt Xue was startled when she saw her kneeling down and kowtowing, and reached out to help her up, but was stopped by Xue Baochai and said, "Although Mom accepted her great gift, listen to the girl finish speaking." ”

Lin Daiyu saw Xue Baochai come forward to mediate, her heart settled down, and she said with a tearful smile: "Feng'er to my mother's goodbye! Since my mother recognized Feng'er as a goddaughter, she has always loved Feng'er, but Feng'er is not filial, and she is not close to her filial mother, and now, Feng'er is about to get married, and she has come to kowtow to her mother today, and thank her mother for her care and care, because the ninth day of the first month is the big day of Feng'er, and she wants to ask her mother to show whether she is allowed to go home first, and go to the sedan chair with the blessings of her mother, sister and little nephew. ”

Without waiting for Aunt Xue to speak, Xue Baochai smiled and said: "Yesterday, I went to Nan'an Wangfu as a guest, and I heard the princess ask me, saying that the second young master of Jiafu wanted to marry, I don't know which girl I married, I didn't think about it and replied, it was my godsister Lin Daiyu, the daughter of my mother who recognized it a few years ago, and now I am close to each other and promised to the second young master of Jiafu." Mom, when you lived with Hao'er, you said that you would give her to Baoyu, which fulfilled your mother's promise. ”

When Aunt Xue heard this, it seemed that there was really such a thing, it seemed that everything was arranged by God, and it was destined to marry Xue Mansion and Jia Mansion, but the daughter who married in the past was not Baochai but Daiyu.

"Hurry up, my mother just said to your sister Baochai, after Duanyang, I will discuss with you how to dowry, although you are my goddaughter, just because you have no mother, I feel more sorry for you than your sister, now that you are here, live at home, although our family is not as good as before, but also ensure that you will marry you out of the scenery and not let you suffer the slightest grievance. ”

Aunt Xue's words were high-sounding, she naturally understood in her heart that Lin Daiyu herself was quite considerate, and even the current expenses of Jiafu were supported by her silver, but she wanted to let her do a good dowry, and when the time came, she would be able to save face for the Xue family, and when she spoke in the mall in the future, she would also seem confident, so that people would know that the Xue family was hollowed out by a lawsuit was all groundless.

Although Lin Daiyu has an arrogant temperament, if she looks pleasing to the eye, she will be very good at dealing with it, so she got up and sat down next to Aunt Xue, made a little padded jacket, first said some affectionate words, and then asked Zijuan to take out the list she had prepared, and told Aunt Xue in detail what things had been prepared, saying that when it was dark, she would send it over and ask her mother to take a look at it herself.

"Our girl originally wanted to ask my aunt to be the master of the purchase, thinking that my aunt also lacked manpower here, and there was a nephew and young master to take care of at home, so I prepared in private, and I was also afraid that my aunt would be tired, and I hoped that my aunt would see the girl's filial piety and forgive her for being good at making claims. ”

Zijuan presented the list as she spoke, and Aunt Xue's eyes were dazzled, so she asked Xue Baochai to tell her one by one.

First of all, there are 80 pieces of jewelry such as gold collars, gold step shakes, and gold bracelets, 40 makeup pythons, 120 pieces of silk of various colors, 48 pieces of clothes for the four seasons, 24 bedding beds, and a number of sheep wine, etc., which are quite complete.

Aunt Xue nodded and smiled: "Everything else is fine, but the clothes are a little less, and they don't look good, so my mother can help you buy some more clothes, and you can make up one hundred and twenty pieces to look good." ”

She said this with confidence, the Xue family used to open the largest garment shop in the capital, and they knew the source of goods, and when the time came, they were not afraid that Lin Daiyu would be reluctant to subsidize the silver.

Lin Daiyu stayed at Xue's house, but asked Zijuan and Xueyan to go back to Jiafu to tell the lord and wife.

Mrs. Wang was feeling that she had no face to see her sister and nephew and daughter, and she was overjoyed when she heard this, and when she heard that it was Qing'er's idea, she smiled at Li Kun and said: "I'll just say it, Brother Lan'er chose Qing'er girl, but it is a ......blessing for your mother and son." )
