14. Chapter 14
There was silence in the water pavilion, and everyone's eyes wandered around Jia Min and Niu Yan, one of them was smiling, and the other was as red as fire. Shui Yi, as the master, could only smile and said, "Heh, heh, that Yan'er, you see that Sister Jia has been here for so long, and she hasn't sat down yet, why don't you let them sit down first?"
Niu Yan saw that someone gave her a ladder, so she replied: "Cousin, I didn't let her sit, but you said it was Sister Jia, so it could only be Sister Jia who sit." ”
Shui Yi understood what she meant, and looked at Jia Min in embarrassment, while Jia San girl on the side hurriedly said, "It's okay for me to stand, sister, sit down." After the ridicule of Mo Shi and Niu Yan at the concubine just now, she can already understand her identity, although she is unwilling, but it can't change the fact that she is a servant's son. The words "Slave Child" have been firmly imprinted on her body since she was born. If she wants to change, she can only pin her hopes on her future in-laws, she must find someone who is outstanding to become her husband, and then let those who look down on her feel her humiliation today, she secretly swore in her heart.
Shui Yi listened to Miss Jia's words, and had a little affection for her, but it was definitely not in line with the hospitality of the Beijing Mansion to really let her stand there like a girl, and this was also a matter of losing the face of Rongguo Mansion, she thought about it and said: "If Miss Jia San is interested, I will ask the girls to take you to see the newly built garden in our house, which was specially built by my brother Wang according to the Jiangnan style, and it is difficult to see it in Beijing." ”
Jia San replied: "Really? I rarely go out of the house, and I really haven't seen any Jiangnan Garden, so there is a row of the county lord of Lao." ”
Jia Min saw that her sister had agreed, and she didn't want to say anything, after all, it was better to avoid it than to stand here and be embarrassed, who knows what embarrassing words Niu Yan would say.
Shui Yi immediately summoned the housekeeper to ask her to tell the gatekeeper not to let the man into the garden, and then let her grandmother accompany Jia San to go with her. After Jia San girl left, the people in the water pavilion became active, and Shui Yi introduced the girls sitting there to Jia Min, and then everyone talked and laughed.
As soon as Jia Min sat down next to him, he whispered: "Sister Min, it's okay for Jia to worry about Sister Yan, she is not targeting you, it's just" She paused and said more quietly: "Although she is sometimes very arrogant and inferior, but today's incident is completely because she has no good impression of the concubine, if it is something else, she will be like this, you don't have to worry about her." ”
Jia Min was very surprised to see her talking for Niu Yan, but when she remembered her identity, she understood, and replied casually: "Sister Hui, I'm not so stingy, I'm saying that I know that Sister Yan didn't mean it." ”
"That's good, Sister Min is the most generous, it's my sister who wants to be left. Zhao Hui smiled and replied, in fact, she didn't want to speak for Niu Yan, but after all, she said that she was also an aunt and sister in her name, if her mother knew that she didn't speak for Niu Yan, she would be a right and wrong when she returned home. Alas, thinking of this, Zhao Hui's heart became more and more bitter, although she was the eldest granddaughter of the university scholar's mansion, but her biological mother died early and her current stepmother also had a son, so she was very perfunctory to her, and her father didn't care about the back house, and he also valued the younger brother more.
Jia Min looked at her very sympatheticly, but when she said something inconsoling, she could only smile. When she was young, Shui Yi ushered in a few more girls, after the ceremony of seeing each other, everyone talked casually, and there were more and more people, and it was not like sitting in turn at the beginning, and the people who were compatible with each other gathered together, Jia Min followed Zhao Hui to the place where the sisters who had a good relationship with each other, these people were born in a scholarly family and her meritorious family is also different, and the experience of living in the Lin family for more than ten years makes her not estranged.
In the water pavilion, everyone talked happily, but at this moment, Shui Yi's grandmother hurriedly rushed over, whispered softly, and didn't know what to say, Shui Yi's face changed greatly, she hurriedly confessed, and left, but she inadvertently glanced at Jia Min and Niu Yan when she left, and her eyes were very complicated, which made Jia Min very uneasy.
Shui Yi hurriedly walked out of the flower, and she didn't care about her demeanor, but her mind kept ringing the words of the grandmother, "The third girl Jia fell into the water and was rescued by the second master of the Zhenguo Mansion." "The second master of the Zhenguo Mansion is the second brother of Niu Yan's compatriots, who is twenty-four years old and married the daughter of the Marquis of Jingyuan's family, but he died in childbirth last year, and even the child could not be saved. It's just that what I don't understand is that she obviously makes people optimistic about the garden, why did Niu Jian appear in the garden and let him save Miss Jia San?
It turned out that the third girl came to the garden, looking at the exquisite scenery, and her mood also improved, just as she walked to the arch bridge, looking at the red carp in the water is very fond of it, she picked up the fish food by the bridge and scattered it into the water, looking at the fish in the water, you can't help but chuckle out loud.
At this time, not far away, Niu Jian was also enjoying the scenery in the garden, he had no intention of entering the unlocked side door, and wanted to leave, which showed that the scenery in the garden was very happy, and saw that there was no one else to stay to enjoy the scenery, but before he walked a few steps, he heard a burst of delicate laughter such as the sound of a yellow oriole crisp and tactful. He searched for a sound and left, only to see a young girl smiling at the fish playing in the water. The voice and smile were very similar to Qian'er, which made him lose his mind for a moment and stand there in a daze.
Jia San girl saw enough of the fish in the water, so she wanted to leave, but as soon as she looked up, she saw a man like a crown jade looking at her blankly, and the person's appearance was three points similar to the concubine, and she turned around to avoid it in a panic, but in a hurry, she stepped on the skirt, and her body fell to the side and fell into the water. The girls on the side had not yet woken up from the shock of discovering the foreign man, and they couldn't help them for a while, but just watched Jia San fall into the water.
The girls and mothers-in-law suddenly panicked, and then they heard the sound of someone jumping into the water, and fixed their eyes to see that the man had jumped into the water and rescued Jia San. Jia San's clothes were already soaked, and they were tightly attached to her body, and her bewitching figure was undoubtedly revealed, and she was taken into Niu Jian's eyes.
Shui Yi's grandmother was the first to react, and walked up to Jia San Girl and saw that Niu Jian was still looking at him stupidly, so she blocked his gaze with her body, and said, "Second Master, this matter is related to the innocence of Jia San Girl, please avoid it first." ”
Niu Jian listened to her words, Fang came to his senses and understood the rudeness, his face was blushing, and he just wanted to leave, but he looked at the girl who was unconscious, and hesitated: "What should I do with that girl, do I want to?"
Listening to Niu Jian's intermittent words, he also understood what he meant, and then looked at his expression, Mama Qin even understood that the second cousin was afraid that he had fallen in love with Jia San, but this was good, after all, he also touched Jia San's body, if he was willing to take charge of this matter, it would be easy to solve it, Fang smiled and said to Niu Jian: "Second cousin, you avoid it first, how to solve this matter, it depends on the eldest uncle's wife and the Duchess Rongguo." ”
After listening to Mama Qin's words, Shui Yi was surprised: "Mama, do you mean that the second cousin has a crush on Miss Jia San?" Although she didn't get along with Niu Jian much, she had also heard a few words about him from Brother Wang, and she also knew that he was infatuated. In the end, it was the aunt who threatened the girl's life to let him marry a wife. I don't know if the girl died in a few years, and it took several years for him to slowly accept his wife, but he didn't expect that the second sister-in-law also died in childbirth, but how could Niu Jian, who had such a temperament, fall in love with Jia San's girl?
When Shui Yi arrived, the concubine, the eldest lady of Zhenguo and the duchess of Rongguo had already arrived, and the third girl Jia had also been diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor, and she fell asleep after taking medicine. It's just that the two ladies in the room are not very good, and they sit there and don't know what they are thinking. In fact, Jia Mu was thinking about whether she could stop talking about this matter, after all, she had just agreed to the marriage proposal of the county lord of Mengxian, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen, how could she explain to the county lord of Mengxian.
Mrs. Zhenguo and Jia's mother think differently, she is thinking about whether her son is willing to marry a wife, if she is willing, she would like to let her son be responsible, although Jia San is a concubine, but it is still in line with the fact that she is also a girl from Rongguo Mansion as a stepwife. And she doesn't have to worry about her son's marriage anymore, thinking about the things she made before, she doesn't want to come out.
At this time, Niu Jian was also brought, and Shui Yi hurriedly avoided the inner room. Entering the house, Niu Jian hurriedly knelt in front of Jia's mother and said: "This matter is Xiaoxian's fault, and it has nothing to do with the third girl, I am willing to be responsible for marrying the third girl as a wife, and I hope that Mrs. can fulfill it." ”
After Mother Jia heard this, before she could speak, Mrs. Niu smiled first: "Duchess Rongguo, I didn't expect us to have such a fate, it can be seen that this matter is the will of heaven, don't you say?"
The concubine also smiled on the side: "Didn't you say that fate is predestined? It can be seen that these two children are destined, and your two mansions are very compatible in terms of family, furniture, and character, I am afraid that there will never be such a good thing again." In fact, the concubine said that her nephew was willing to be responsible for marrying a wife, and she was quietly relieved, otherwise she wouldn't know how to explain to Rongguo Mansion, after all, this incident happened in the Beijing Palace, and it was her maiden nephew who did it, and now everyone is happy.
Mother Jia listened to their words, looked at Niu Jian who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "To be honest, I still think that the three girls are not worthy of the noble son, but now that such a thing happens, the marriage of the two governments is the best solution, this is a major marriage matter that needs to be the master of our family, and if today's matter is reported, it will not be very good in our two mansions, and I hope that the concubine will let the people in the family silence." There is also the county lord of Gang Mengxian, she" Jia Mu did not finish her words, but everyone understood the meaning.
The concubine said with a smile: "Duchess Rongguo is thoughtful, today's matter will never be spread in the past, and as for the matter of the two children, it will not be decided now, I think the Zhenguo Mansion will also handle the gift, Mengxian, then I will tell her well." After speaking, he gave Mrs. Niu a look.
Mrs. Niu also hurriedly said: "Mrs. in-laws, please rest assured, there will be no shortage of three books and six ceremonies, and the iceman's dowry will not be less." Specifically, I will go home and discuss with my lord to ensure that I will not lose the face of Rongguo Mansion. ”
The matter between the third girl Jia and Niu Jian was decided in this way, and at this time, the third girl lying on the bed was still dreaming of marrying into the palace of Beijing, she thought that Niu Jian was the prince of Beijing, so the idea also made her marriage more unfortunate, and more importantly, after many years, she understood why Niu Jian unswervingly wanted to marry her, but for the sake of those similarities.
