37. A match made in heaven
Mrs. Wang leaned forward, and Xia Jingui was even more engrossed, ready to go and get someone after Daiyu said the person's name.
"It's not anyone's house, it's just Gege on the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion, and the one I met later is Brother Hongyun on the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion."
Daiyu's face was calm, and she saw that Mrs. Wang's face changed sharply, Xia Jingui's expression couldn't be seen because her face was swollen, but her mouth was not idle.
"It can't be, you, you're lying to me." Do you think you can get away with deliberately saying Brother's Mansion?
"It's true, Xiao Gege on the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion personally came to the house and invited Daiyu out. Sister-in-law doesn't believe it, I still have a post sent by Xiao Gege when he came to the door, do you want to take a look. Jia Min smiled secretly, for the sake of silver, you really don't want any face, people like Xia Jingui can also touch it, and you are not afraid of being dragged to death by her.
Daiyu opened her mouth, and Mrs. Wang might not believe it, but now that Jia Min has spoken, her face is wonderful. I sat where I was, not moving.
Xia Jingui covered her mouth, it was impossible, how could she know Gege in the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion, and the relationship was so good. Obviously, the child was holding the corner of her clothes tightly, for fear that she would run away, how could it be Gege, how could this be possible.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Daiyu coughed slightly, "What Miss Xia said just now, I didn't seem to hear clearly, it seems that some family is ruined, and life is better than death." Also, the servant woman behind you said something before, I went out with a man at will. Tsk, if you dare to ruin the royal family, you are also the first, and your courage is commendable. ”
Willing to cut his body and dare to pull the emperor off the horse, Daiyu looked at her with a smile full of teasing eyes, what else is there to say, admire and admire.
"There is still something going on in the house, and the old lady can't leave people for a moment. I'll go first, and I'll come back to see you another day. Mrs. Wang stood up in a panic and left, not at all like a middle-aged woman. Li didn't care about Xia Jingui who came with her, or maybe he was afraid of being entangled by her.
"It's all her, it's all provoked by her, I didn't say anything, I'll compensate you for this subordinate, you can punish whatever you want." Xia Jingui also understood, and pointed to the servant woman behind her, sweating like pulp, and suddenly soaked three layers of clothes.
The servant woman naturally knelt down and kowtowed, shouting for mercy, and the whole room was filled with Xia Jingui's screams and the servant woman's desperate screams begging for mercy.
Jia Min frowned, "Shut up for me." ”
The world finally quieted down, Jia Min pointed, "What are you, and what kind of people in your family are they who dare to dirty my family's place." I don't look in the mirror, but you are worthy. dragged out, and in the future, no one from the Xia family was allowed to enter the door. ”
Immediately, a wolf-like servant came over, dragged the two of them, and pushed directly out of the door of the Lin family.
Daiyu let out a sigh, "The Xia family doesn't know how much silver they borrowed from their uncle, and the lady of the dignified Hou Mansion was used as a gunman by a merchant girl, and she didn't have to lose her mother's face when she said it." ”
"What do I have to be ashamed of, I'm Mrs. Lin outside." Jia Min scratched her daughter's nose and knew that her daughter had deliberately said it to her.
"Mother will never be the same again." He added another sentence and patted his daughter's hand as a sign of comfort.
Xia Jingui was in a panic for several days, and as soon as she got home, she killed the servant woman who was talking nonsense, hid at home, couldn't eat or sleep, and thought that someone was coming to arrest her and put her in prison. After a few days of hard work, I am almost skinny.
Mrs. Xia personally went to Mrs. Wang with an IOU, but she didn't even let her enter the door, obviously not recognizing the meaning of the Xia family. Angry went home and counted down her daughter, "You also said that you would return the IOU to her if you recognized your godparents, if I hadn't said that they were too cheap, I would have taken advantage of the situation to find you a good family affair and then drag it down, otherwise now even the IOU is gone, see what you do." ”
Xia Jingui cried and sobbed, "What's the use of having an IOU in hand, I'm about to die, and my mother still cares about this bit of silver." ”
"Phew, who said you were going to die. How can the girl of the Lin family have such courage, although the thirteenth master is the prince, he has long been snubbed by the emperor because of the case of the abolished prince a few years ago. So far, he hasn't left the house, but just let a few elder brothers and Gege go out occasionally. ”
"So what, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and they want to kill me, it's not a matter of words." Xia Jingui is still crying, is the prince Fengsun talking about fun? The emperor doesn't like it, but it doesn't mean that he can be humiliated by ordinary people.
"The Lin family wanted to say that they had said it a long time ago, but there has been no movement in the past few days, so they just don't dare to say it. If she can make friends with Gege in the Thirteenth Master's Mansion, she must be deadly, how can she say these words lightly, no matter how bad Mrs. Wang is, she is also her aunt, and she is not afraid of people saying that she is cold. ”
Mrs. Xia is a businessman, she thinks that Daiyu will calculate this account herself, and she will be happy to say it for a while, but she will always pull out her grandfather's house, and she has to risk being rejected by Gege, so it is better not to say it at all and maintain the status quo.
No matter how you look at it, it is more cost-effective to maintain the status quo.
"Really?" Xia Jingui's face has been swollen, the bruise has not faded, the pointed chin, and the pitiful eyes are as painful as if they have been cut by a knife in Mrs. Xia's eyes.
"Of course it's true, besides, there is more than one prince in Jinling City, and their Lin family thinks it's great to have the support of the thirteenth master. There are even more powerful ones, in case it doesn't work, we can't afford to give our family wealth. "Mrs. Xia used to just think about it in her heart, and she didn't really plan to do it, after all, the prince has not yet been established, and these businessmen are still safer, and it is better not to offend each other.
It was her daughter who met with something, which forced out the idea in her heart for a while, just to give her daughter courage.
It did give Xia Jingui a great comfort, she hugged her mother and said eagerly: "There is such an opportunity, why didn't you say it earlier, you got into the relationship early, and what happened to Rongguo Mansion." ”
You can't tell her daughter about her inner plans, if she accidentally reveals a sentence or two outside, compared to today's events, it will be really a big deal.
can only be persuaded gently: "We are imperial merchants, and we are safe." ”
"When is it, my mother still cares about this." Xia Jingui became more and more enthusiastic, he already knew that his family had a way to the sky, and it was a waste of mood to recognize what to do outside.
"Always discuss with your father, and then choose a suitable way, if you don't think about it, then you can rush up casually." Mrs. Xia's words made Xia Jingui temporarily settle down.
The heart that wants to marry into the royal family has been beating in Xia Jingui's body. Now, it's louder and more powerful.
Daiyu did scare them and didn't spread the word about it. Just as Mrs. Xia thought, if it is spread out and pulled out of the Rongguo Mansion, will the Lin family have a light on their faces?
But she never expected that the Xia family would fall to the ninth master. Dai Yuqing clearly remembered that as long as it was three years, Yongzheng would ascend the throne, and he persisted for so many years, and finally bet on the wrong treasure at the last moment, which was sour.
Daiyu touched her nose and said secretly, you can't blame me, I didn't do anything.
This matter was told by Ulan Gege. Of course, Ulan Gege came again, and Daiyu refused to be fooled this time, leaving her to play at home.
But who can resist a chubby, round cute, hugging your legs, blinking big black grape-like eyes, and pleading at you.
Daiyu hated to hold her hand, "You'd better be honest, it's really just the two of us this time." ”
"Really, really, it's more true than pearls, the diorama has a new product, no one else has seen it, I'll take you to pick it first." Ulan Gege's head nodded quickly, the eldest brother is a money bag, she must hold it tightly.
"Okay then." Daiyu nodded.
The diorama has a large storefront, and there is a house with a garden at the back, which is divided into storerooms. Ulan took her hand and led her to one of the rooms, "Take a look, cut and polish the perfect gems, see these, do you feel that the previous gems are all in vain?" ”
This is...... Modern cutting techniques cut the gemstones into very small sections, and the polishing is extremely bright and transparent. In the natural light, all of them reflect the brilliant light. With such gemstones, the gems polished by traditional techniques are suddenly compared to stones.
"Ulan Gege, do you know whose business the diorama is?" Daiyu's heart was beating wildly, it was glass and mirror, and now there was such a gem, it was impossible for her not to want to.
"I'm so young, how can I know." Ulan Gege lowered his head, suppressed a trace of unnaturalness in his expression, and suddenly raised a smile again, "However, my eldest brother knows, if you want to know, just ask him, as long as you ask, he will definitely say." ”
"Actually, it doesn't matter who it is." Daiyu put her mind back on the gems, and selected several bags for people to send to the Lin family. Mother would definitely like such a rare thing, and Daiyu was sure that if it weren't for Ulan's face, she would have chosen it in advance. When she goes out, where will it be her turn to grab it.
"Oh." Ulan Gege sighed, glanced at a cyan figure outside the door, and grabbed a handful, "I want these." ”
"Yes, I'll send the two young ladies to the house in a while." The shopkeeper who came in with Ulan Gege to pick up the goods had a smile on his face.
"What's wrong, unhappy? I'll invite you to go to the Jade Loft to eat their new flower snacks. Seeing the little girl tapping and tapping, as if she was about to wear the toes of her shoes, she looked down and asked.
"Really? I'm going to try each of them. Ulan is more interested in eating than about gems, and after talking about the dim sum patterns along the way, Daiyu echoed her from time to time with "really, it's delicious to listen to", and she felt more and more happy.
"It's nice that there are no dogs in the way this time. However, she is not as good-looking as my dog. Ulan's divergent thinking, after a while, I don't know where the topic has turned.
After a while, it automatically flipped back again.
"The Xia family wants to bring assets into Uncle Jiu's house, but it's up to her to make her beautiful." Ulan's words made Daiyu take the nodding hand and paused for a while.
"That's right." The ninth master is the well-known eighth master party, and in the past few years, these masters who have formed a group have been tossing a lot. Thinking like this, it is really not easy for the fourth master, to stand up to a group of wolf-like brothers under him.
"Don't think about it, just like my ninth aunt, I will definitely not let her enter the door." Ulan Gege swayed his legs, at home, he was seen in such irregular movements, but he was going to be scolded by his grandmother. Fortunately, Sister Lin doesn't seem to mind at all.
"What is your ninth aunt?" Daiyu laughed, the six-year-old girl, like a villain, knows everything, no wonder people say that the royal child is precocious.
"Uncle Nine has done too much business over the years, and Aunt Nine doesn't like it." The ninth master is keen on doing business, and there is nothing in the first place, which big family does not have it. But people all sent subordinates to do it, or used their own names to hang up dry shares. This man is a person who really likes to do business, not to mention his personal participation, and his enthusiasm is getting higher and higher year by year.
How could Jiufujin, who was born in a high family, be happy that Jiu Ye likes businessmen, let alone carry a merchant girl into the backyard. Isn't that a pillow for a sleepy person? Even if Xia Jingui himself is not outstanding, he can't stand the fact that the two have a common language.
Daiyu is not worried at all, what if she really enters the door, a concubine can still turn out a flower, and she can't even get out of the door. What's more, in less than two or three years, none of these people have ended well, but she is not worried at all.
However, thinking of the IOU she was holding in her hand, of course it would not have any deterrent effect in the Xia family, if it was changed to the ninth master.
It's okay, it's okay, Yuan Chun is still a favorite concubine, so she should be able to resist it. It's best to solve the affairs of your Jia family by yourself, but don't drag your father down.
"What are you thinking, so distracted, you can't be thinking about my stupid big brother." Ulan squeezed his eyes narrowly.
"What does your eldest brother have to do with me, why should I think about him." Daiyu tore off a piece of rose cake and threw it into her mouth.
I heard the little girl from Ulan on the other side shouting excitedly, "This and this, Amak likes to throw things and eat like this." But I wasn't allowed to learn, I only dared to try it secretly in the house, and threw it all over the ground, and I was stared at by my mother, and I couldn't learn anymore. Sister Lin taught me whether it was good or not, and I promised not to sue others. ”
"What does it matter if you sue others, you can't eat me." Daiyu tore open the pastry funny, teaching her how to master the strength and how to pay attention not to get stuck in her throat.
Ulan threw it for a while, successfully threw it into his mouth, chewed it proudly, and his eyebrows were about to fly. Thinking of the words just now, I couldn't wait to swallow the pastry in my mouth, "When you are seen, won't you say that it is unruly?" ”
My own mother and grandmother, the most I talk about are the rules, and I am like a shackle on myself all the time, tired and panicked.
"The rules are set by people, and the people who set the rules are for others. If you think about who sets these rules and whose benefits they have, then you will know what the so-called rules are. "Daiyu is drinking flower tea and eating flower cakes leisurely and comfortably, not to mention, there is often someone who comes out to go out to buy food and drink, which is really happy. It reminded her of the old days, as if it happened yesterday, and it turned out that she had never forgotten it.
After all, Ulan was a six-year-old child, and although he was smart, he couldn't understand what Daiyu said, and he blinked and blinked with big eyes, rested his face on the table, and just looked at her with his fist on his chin.
It means that it is men who set rules for women, and what men think, of course, they hope that women are as good as possible and virtuous, and it is best not to go out of the house, to be able to have children, to be housekeepers, and not to be jealous of other women in the backyard. What about the man who sets this kind of bullshit rules, the one who doesn't run out every day, and does whatever he likes. Therefore, the rules are just a matter of listening, and there are all the etiquettes on the surface, after all, we can't fight against everyone. But privately, we need to be clear about what these so-called rules are. ”
Ulan slapped his face and said with a look of adoration: "If only my mother thought so." ”
"Your mother is different, she is the daughter-in-law of the royal family, and you are the royal Gege, so I will tell you this, but I will not tell others. Because, many people, including me, do not have capricious capital. You're a little more free than we are. However, not all rules are bad, and you have to learn to tell them. ”
Daiyu regretted that she had said too much for a while, and then began to make up for it.
Wulan waved his hand magnificently, "Sister Lin, don't describe it, I understand, I won't tell anyone about this." ”
"You still have to learn the rules you need to learn." Sister Lin added, "However, you must also understand that rules are dead, and people are alive." The world is big, but it's too big to live well. ”
In life, where can you really do what you want, it's just to find a balance between rules and doing what you want.
"Sister Lin, I still want to visit the Fan family's kite shop." The Fan family opened a branch in Jinling three years ago, although Daiyu and Jingyu are bigger, but the Fan family will still send exquisite kites according to the season, but more interesting, such as a palm-sized set of small kites, which can be kept at hand to play.
"Okay." Daiyu thought of the time when the two families exchanged kites, but there was no special expression on their faces.
Ulan was a little disappointed, but he didn't dare to say too much, so he took her hand and jumped up and said, "When the time comes, let's go kite flying together, and the peach blossoms should bloom." ”
Daiyu couldn't deny it, she couldn't hear what Ulan Gege was doing. For Hongyun, she felt that the cup of tea instead of wine had already explained the problem.
She has been to the Fan family's shop once or twice, and as soon as she went, she was recognized by the shopkeeper, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Others don't know, but the shopkeeper knows that the Lin family is their big boss.
When Ulan Gege saw the beautiful kite, his eyes were straight, and he squeaked and commented one by one, and asked for a lot, Daiyu whispered, "Send it to the Thirteenth Master's Mansion in a while, and the silver will be recorded in my account." ”
"Yes." The shopkeeper nodded, as if he thought of something, and said: "The young lady of our family is going to marry in Jinling in a few days, and the master and the young master will escort her, and they will definitely kowtow to you when the time comes." ”
"Really? That's great, and speaking of which, we haven't seen each other in a long time. Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, she had a good impression of the Fan family, such a major marriage event, she had to support her no matter what.
"Is it your old friend?" Ulan Gege listened and asked.
"It's an old friend of Yangzhou, I haven't seen him for a long time, I didn't expect to marry in Jinling." Daiyu smiled and told her that they were dragon and phoenix fetuses. Sure enough, his eyes widened when he heard the dragon and phoenix fetus Ulan Gege.
"Really? I've never seen a dragon and phoenix fetus, so I must see it this time. ”
"When they grow up, I don't know if they are still like it, but when they were young, they were really similar." Daiyu took her hand, and as soon as she crossed the threshold, she saw an old acquaintance walking out of the store next door.
Sun Shaozu's face twitched, this woman was her nightmare.
"Did you steal my marriage book?" Sun Shaozu's marriage book was obviously placed in the luggage of the inn, but it was said that it fell out of him.
His marriage letter was obviously the second miss of the Jia family, but it was changed to the third lady. Jia Yu thought that he did it on purpose, and he thought that his daughter was not good, so he found a way to steal the eight characters of the third lady, and when the time came, he could play a scoundrel and marry the third lady back to the door.
The conscience of heaven and earth, he did not revise the marriage book at all. And he went through it in his head a few times, and he chewed out the problem. If you steal the marriage book, you steal it, why change it to someone else. Because this person who stole the marriage book took advantage of the disagreement between the big house and the second room in Jiafu, so that this matter could not be hidden.
Otherwise, as long as Jia Yu came forward and married the second lady to him toughly, the people in the second room would not come forward at all. I can't say it, and I will cover it up in front of the old lady.
But this matter also brought the second room in, and under mutual suspicion, this matter was completely exposed, and angered the old lady, so that there was no room for turning around the marriage.
And who this person who stole the marriage book is, it will be obvious that otherwise, how could she, an official lady, go to that kind of shop to see what goods. If you want to go, you will also go to Wanbaolou and Silk Silkworm Zhai. So when I saw Daiyu, I didn't think about it, and subconsciously shouted out.
Daiyu looked at him with a smile, but she chuckled in her heart, hasn't he been turned white? Why don't you go back to your hometown and stay in Jinling?
"Somebody making noise in the streets, get out." Before the mother-in-law beside Daiyu could speak, someone had already crossed over to them and blocked Daiyu's body and reprimanded.
"You, you ......" Sun Shaozu was not lightly surprised by the boyishness that suddenly appeared, and his hand involuntarily pointed at him.
"Smack" Before he could say anything, the outstretched fingers had already been pulled back with the hilt of the knife.
After drawing a big man, he grabbed the knife, stood beside the young man, and looked at Sun Shaozu in front of him with contempt.
Sun Shaozu jumped straight with his fingers, but gritted his teeth and didn't dare to scold his mother. Although the young man's dress was low-key, the jade belt around his waist was not ordinary. also brought a knife man as a bodyguard, and he knew that he was someone he couldn't mess with. Some regretted why he opened his mouth, obviously the little girl of the Lin family was also something he couldn't afford to provoke, so he just wanted to take it by surprise and see if he could squeeze it out.
As a result, nothing was squeezed out, so he folded one hand instead, holding a swollen peach-like hand, and didn't even dare to throw it if he was looking for a field, so he ran away.
"Are you alright?" The young man was naturally Hongyun, and he looked back at Daiyu who was protected by him.
"Thank you, Brother Hongyun." Daiyu's modest blessing pushed Ulan Gege in front of him.
"I was just about to send Gege home, but Brother Hongyun came just in time, and it was time for me to leave." Daiyu kept hanging her head and didn't look at him.
As soon as Daiyu got home, she was called by Jia Min, thinking that her mother knew about Hongyun and planned to preach. Unexpectedly, she came to sue her, and the ninth master personally protected Xia Jingui and married her to Sun Shaozu.
"Ah......" Daiyu never thought that these two people would get together.
"It's not so strange, Sun Shaozu took refuge in the Ninth Master, so did Xia Jingui, and it was also ...... to get together" I wanted to say that it was a match made in heaven, but I couldn't say it anyway. Jia Min knew the inside story, Xia Jingui was committed to the ninth master without telling his parents, and wanted to find a position for side Fujin.
Where is Jiufujin willing to follow, only saying that there is no such innocent woman in their backyard. Don't blame her for the housewife when the girls in the Ninth Master's Mansion can't get married.
The ninth master gave Xia Jingui to Sun Shaozu, saying that he was going to have a happy event in the next few days.
But this kind of thing, she always can't tell her daughter, so she has to say: "There is always something wrong in my heart." ”
Daiyu sighed, "It's strange if Mother thinks it's right, both of them have an IOU from Jiafu in their hands, and they both take refuge in the Ninth Master, anyone will feel strange." ”
Jia Min's face turned pale, that's what she meant.
"Mother should discuss it with my father, this kind of thing, it is better to prevent it than to make up for it when something happens."
"That's all it can be." Jia Min didn't want to deal with Mrs. Wang anymore, and it was not good to tell her mother about this, so she simply told Lin Ruhai and asked him to tell the eldest brother and second brother, so that they could deal with it as soon as possible.
