Shi Xiangyun has already been in contact with Shi Jiahui, and Jia Qin is still her cousin-in-law, and the two of them are sitting together and talking.

"I heard that Lord Liu brought back his wife and children from the countryside, and Ming'er invited someone to warm the house, did you receive the post?" Shi Xiangyun is talking about the same year that his master Xiang Xisheng was born, and several people in similar situations walked around each other very diligently.

"I got it, and I'm thinking about what to send." Jia Qin has a good relationship with Shi Xiangyun, so he also takes this line and often interacts with people who are familiar with Xiang's family. Shi Yuan is now much more pragmatic, Jia Qin always thinks that in a few years, he will have the money in his hand to dredge, so he begs the adult to find him an errand to do. It is enough to have her in business, and men should still have a broader space to break through.

"Lord Liu has been living a tight life in order to buy a house, don't send fancy things, just send something practical." Shi Xiangyun never thought that one day the person who would go to her would be able to pass it away with a few knives of bacon and a few cans of tea. But even so, she is very content, it is better than staying in a small courtyard and being lonely for life.

"There are a few new good silk forging horses in the store, and it is good to send two horses to Mrs. Liu to tailor and wear." On the contrary, Jia Qin is very adaptable to the current life, and can be called like a fish in water.

"That's great." Shi Xiangyun smiled and said that his three daughters, the eldest one should also talk about family affairs in the past two years.

Not only them, but the rest of the guests were also chatting with each other, anyway, they were all relatives, and they knew each other very well, so they had to take advantage of the guests to relax for a day.

Except for Daiyu, almost no one spoke to this Grandma Xue. It's really that this Grandma Xue is too unexpected by everyone, and if she prepares a stomach, there is almost no way to use it.

For example, on this occasion, you always have to ask all over Xianxiang what your parents and brothers do for a living. When she came to her, Tong Guò Baochai's interjection had clearly become taboo.

Then ask you what books you usually read and what pastimes you do. It seems that there is no need to ask anymore.

"This flower blooms so well, and the wildflowers on the mountain are beautiful, but they won't grow so big and so rich." Shan Huai pulled out a peony, inserted it into the bun, and shook off a golden step on the bun and threw it to the maid next to him, "Put it away, it's dangling, and the person who shakes has a headache." ”

If you really throw it, you throw it out, the maid pounced forward and caught it with both hands, looking at the maid's aggrieved but not surprised expression, it shouldn't be the first time I have encountered this kind of thing.

"Sister-in-law." Baochai glanced at her, and Grandma Xue immediately raised her hand and said, "Okay, okay, I won't throw it away again." ”

When leaving, Jia Qin deliberately waited for Daiyu and said with a smile: "I don't know when my aunt and grandmother are free, I want to go and ask for peace." "She is from the Jia family, and she has always used the title of the Jia family when she got married.

Speaking of which, the Lin family and Jia Qin don't have such a deep relationship, but with her unremitting movement, she finally got Jia Min's spleen and stomach right. Every time I came back to talk about some new things in the market, I brought some new gadgets, and every time I coaxed Jia Min to smile.

"I'll go back and ask for you, and then someone will post it for you." Daiyu also likes her cleverness, and she recognizes her identity very well, even if she is shrewd, she is also shrewd that is not annoying.

After a few days, Jia Qin came over and brought news about this Grandma Xue.

"I heard that when Xue Pan went out to do business, he missed the accommodation, walked the mountain road in the middle of the night, and was taken captive to the mountain by the heroes in the cottage and the goods. The king in the cottage is the current Grandma Xue Shanhuai, who must be accustomed to seeing mud legs, and when he saw a son-in-law, he was going to marry him. Xue Pan was anxious to get out, so he had to agree, and when he became a relative, he didn't know how to persuade him, so he let the king of the mountain voluntarily go to the local government to surrender. Xue Pan mediated from it, and actually ensured the safety of the cottage people, and those who were incorporated were co-opted, and those who could not be co-opted were bought by Xue Pan and asked them to cultivate them. Everyone thought that this was a way to get out, but who would have expected that he would take Shanhuai back to his hometown to go to the family tree, and really treat her as a lady. ”

Jia Min was speechless when he heard this, "This, Mrs. Xue just let him mess around?" ”

"Mother, the emperor will rather have a kind of thing, a woman, what is wrong with a wife and a husband. I think Grandma Xue just doesn't understand customs, shortcomings in etiquette, and people are not bad. "No matter how Daiyu pretends to be, the soul of a modern person is destined to have a different view from them, and the acceptance of this kind of thing is much higher.

"You are young, you don't know the severity, what the king of the mountain does, killing people and plundering goods." Jia Min felt that he had been challenged, such a person actually squeezed into the circle of relatives around him, and he was extremely frightened to think about it.

"I don't understand any of this, it's just a little bit I heard after dinner, and I listen to it as a joke. Anyway, the eldest grandmother of the Xue family doesn't walk around outside, and it is rare to meet her in the future. Jia Qin quietly changed the topic, picked up Jia Min's favorite and said: "My younger brother is also older, and he is not the material for the imperial examination, so he followed me to help in the shop, buying and shipping, and running as far as the northwest." I thought that buying a dowry for my sister during this time would have required someone to run errands. My younger brother, not to mention anything else, is quite honest, if there is anything to send, you can just give me an order. ”

Jia Min really likes to listen to this, the Lin family is good at everything, but there are few people. Although there are many people, there are also troubles about many people, but it is indeed a worry that there are few people. Especially for the purchase of dowry, how can it be so simple and convenient to go to other places. The tangled branch lotus that was set in advance may be found to be out of stock, or there is a better one. The stewards only seek to be safe, and in many cases, they dare not make their own decisions.

If you are a member of your own family, even if it is a relative, it is always more convenient to do things than to manage them.

"Okay, then I'll thank you in advance." Jia Min smiled and narrowed his eyes, and threw the previous matter of Grandma Xue out of the clouds.

The dowry is divided into several major items, one is the clothes and embroidery, including the full set of bedding on the bed, and the embroidery girl has been invited to live in the Yulan Courtyard to catch up with the work, and the other is the furniture, and the wood has been invited to make it. There are two other places, one is gold and silver jewelry, and the other is indoor ornaments.

Gold and silver jewelry does not only refer to the things of the hairpin ring, but also rouge gouache, incense and other things. Jia Min has already saved some of this, but he still wants to go to the rich land of Jiangnan to pick up some of the most up-to-date looks.

The interior ornaments include rare books, landscape paintings, porcelain vases, chiming bells, bonsai and so on. Jia Min wanted people to go to the Guangdong area to see if there were any novelties and collect some to come back.

There are also bits and pieces of gadgets, there are even more, Jia Min can't wait to stretch out eight hands to get busy, and there are a lot of people.

Everyone is busy, but Daiyu is idle. Her embroidery level is average, and she has never thought of embroidering a dowry herself. Only embroidered a few handkerchiefs with a needle, after all, the things given to Hongyun still had to be embroidered by themselves.

Wulan was honest for a few days, came back to life, and posted a post to Daiyu to invite her to eat lotus leaf chicken. The recipe was written to her by Daiyu, and she took it back and tossed it a few times, and she felt that she was blue, so she wanted her master to show off.

"Sealed in the mud, it's steaming when it's opened. I made ten of them in one go, but I didn't even catch a single chicken leg, and they were all cleaned. Especially Amma, who is not finished eating, but says that this is called flower chicken. ”

They meet outside, and Ulan Gege complains as he cracks open the clay shell.

"It's called Hua Ji, you Ama really said that." Daiyu didn't care to smell the fragrance of the lotus leaf chicken, and cried out in a lost voice.

"Yes, I knew you would be angry when you said it, I'm like that, I'm like that, I can't be angry with him." Ulan Gege waved his hand very open-mindedly, looking devastated and helpless.

"I'm not angry, it's just, it's just weird." Daiyu's heart has already turned up a monstrous wave, she has always had some doubts in her heart, now, there is no need to doubt, he must be from the same place as herself.

With this mood in mind, she couldn't hear what Ulan Gege said again.

"Dead, dead......" There was a sudden commotion from below, and Ulan Gege quickly opened the window. Their private room, facing the street, opened the window, and saw clearly what was going on.

A woman dressed in a riding attire, pulling the reins of a horse in one hand and a man who falls to the ground with a whip in the other. The man was whipped and rolled by him, and the wolf bèi was not in shape. There were onlookers, but none of them went to pull, and there were many people who shouted.

"What's going on, hurry up and ask." Ulan looked happy and immediately asked the girl to inquire. As a result, the girl hasn't run down yet, and Xingguo has already run up.

"Miss, Miss, the next two people, guess who they are?" Xingguo was still holding a handful of melon seeds in her hand, and Daiyu could almost imagine that she was snorting melon seeds, sitting in the sun at the door of someone's store with Erlang's legs crossed, and when she joined a group of middle-aged women to listen to the gossip, her eyes were shining.

"Say it quickly, say it quickly, I'll reward you with this." When Ulan Gege heard this, he took off the coral string in his hand and beckoned to the apricot fruit.

Xingguo hurriedly blessed the gift, "Don't you dare to deviate from Gege's good things, the slave is talking and playing with the young lady, just because these two are people who know each other." The one who rode the horse was the eldest grandmother of the Xue family, and the one who was rolled on the ground was Sun Shaozu, who married the eldest lady of the Xia family, an imperial businessman. ”

It turned out to be these two people, Daiyu was also stunned, why did they make trouble between them. Xingguo didn't disappoint, and said with a small mouth: "The slave maid is really looking at it, the grandmother of the Xue family is probably lost, got off the horse and asked for directions, and was caught up by Sun Shaozu." I don't know what I said, so I was whipped to the ground by Grandma Xue with a horsewhip. However, the onlookers all said that Sun Shaozu was not a good person, and the slave and maid didn't hear it clearly with the one in the vicinity. ”

Daiyu knew that she didn't hear clearly, she was afraid that she was embarrassed to say it in front of them, and she didn't reveal it at the moment, so she raised her voice and said: "Bai Lu, go down and say hello to Grandma Xue, if she is in a hurry to go back, show her the way, and if she doesn't hurry back, ask her to come up and sit down." ”

The one who sat down in the back was a temporary addition after seeing Ulan Gege's expectant face.

Grandma Xue took the horsewhip and went upstairs, saw Daiyu laughing heartily, hugged her fists and said: "Where do you not meet in life, I didn't expect to meet again so soon." ”

These words were a bit nondescript, and Daiyu didn't hear it, so she introduced it for her, "This is Ulan Gege on the Thirteenth Master's Mansion, and this is Grandma Xue of the Imperial Merchant Xue family." ”

"Gege, then you are the princess, oh my God, I can actually see the princess, so should I kowtow?" Grandma Xue's eyes were shining, which made Ulan Gege laugh on the spot.

"I should have kowtowed, but Benge excused you." Ulan asked the men to come up and clear the table and rearrange the dishes.

"That's a good idea." Grandma Xue sat down generously, let the guy serve the wine, and said very chicly: "I please." ”

Daiyu couldn't help laughing, "Thank you Grandma Xue for that." ”

"Did you really come down from the mountains?" Ulan Gege asked in the next sentence, it seems that gossip is everywhere.

"That's right." Grandma Xue didn't hesitate at all, dressed in a bright red riding costume, pinned her hair bun behind her head with a wooden comb of the three friends of the old and cold, and no more jewelry. Set aside the whip and put your hand on the table so that people can see it clearly. A pair of rough hands are completely different from those young ladies who are raised in the boudoir.

"It's true, have you ever killed someone?" Ulan Gege was very excited, and she almost threw herself into someone's arms when she saw her expression.

Grandma Xue pursed her lips and said with disdain: "We also have rules, as long as we have money, we will not kill people, let alone kidnap women." However, if they want to kill, I will not spare them. "It's tantamount to a low-key acquiescence that she will also kill.

"Why are you so good, teach me well." Ulan Gege had already gone to pull her sleeve and wanted to apprentice.

"Wulan, since Grandma Xue has come to Jinling, she can't act the same as before. She now has a husband's family, and she has a mother-in-law and husband to serve, so don't make trouble for her. Daiyu had no choice but to interrupt, and said to Shanhuai: "She just said it casually, don't you mind." ”

Grandma Xue said impatiently: "I know, I know, you don't have to explain, you also have your rules." If you break the rules, you can't get married, and you are no better than me, you don't even have nowhere to rob, so I don't blame you. ”

Dare to love Xue Pan is really his husband who grabbed the mountain, and inadvertently got the confirmation of the party, Daiyu didn't know whether to sigh for her luck.

"What happened just now, how did he mess with you." Ulan had long forgotten that this Sun Shaozu still had a relationship with her.

"This man's mouth is not clean, and I am so deceived." Grandma Xue mentioned Sun Shaozu with a contemptuous face. She doesn't know the way, and she really doesn't understand the rules of Jinling, but she is the king of the mountain who is on the dominant side, and she is in charge of dozens of people, how can she let others be deceived as an ignorant young woman.

"Of course, this person is a good fighter, but in Jinling, there are too many dignitaries, and it is better to bring a maid when Grandma Xue goes out in the future." This time, I met a good bully, and if I changed to a bad bully, wouldn't I have to suffer.

In this era, it is the first time that Daiyu has met such a person. Regardless of their relationship, she is willing to see a woman live so wantonly. Fresh clothes and angry horses can also be women, which feels quite good.

"I know, alas......" Grandma Xue lay on the table without any figure, like an eagle trapped in a cage, looking extremely anxious.

"Life here is different from before, but your identity is also different, and it's always good to get used to it slowly." Daiyu has some sympathy, and when she first came here, she was also terrified, and she wanted to go back all the time. If it weren't for the impending crisis of the Lin family that distracted her, I was afraid that her reaction at that time would be worse than that of Grandma Xue.

"No one has ever told me this, everyone just thinks I am a monster, looking at me from a distance, and I don't even dare to breathe when I get closer, as if I will eat people." Grandma Xue sighed, Xue Pan also wanted to take her out to socialize, but unfortunately every time it was in vain, and in the end, she was too lazy to go out.

"For the lady and lady who don't leave the door, there is no difference between killing people and eating people, anyway, they can't imagine it." Daiyu covered her mouth and chuckled, it is difficult for people in the two worlds to understand each other, and this is not anyone's fault.

"But you didn't treat me as a monster."

"There is always something outlierous, or rather stupid and bold." Daiyu stopped the wine jug, "If you like it, take a pot back and drink it slowly, it's not proper to drink it outside alone." ”

"That's the rule, that's the rule, it's really depressing." Grandma Xue is indeed depressed and dying.

"The rule is dead, people are alive, the rule is that women better not drink, after the change, you can drink with your husband behind closed doors, or you can invite three or five people who have the same hobby as you to drink slowly. But before people, the rules that should be observed must always be observed. The more you ignore the rules, the more the rules will bind you and make it difficult for you to move an inch. Rather than that, it's better to think about how to make the rules more beneficial to you. This is similar to what he said to Urangeg before.

Wulan nodded immediately, "Really, really, I used to hate learning the rules, but then I listened to Sister Lin's words, learned the rules well, and detained the rules to talk about things, and E-Niang never said anything about me again." ”

"Then I'll listen to you." Grandma Xue was inspired, and she suddenly became motivated, and the rules that made her afraid of a tiger seemed to be less annoying.

The conversation here was in full swing, and Sun Shaozu slipped back with a disgraced face. Since Xia Jingui fell out of favor with the Ninth Master, their husband and wife have no use value, and now Xia Jingui feels that Sun Shaozu is an eyesore no matter how he looks at it.

"Why, I was beaten by someone's little widow. Is it that this month's silver is not enough, the half-closed door is the half-closed door, pretending to be a good woman, I don't know how many people in Jinling City have become brothers-in-law, and I am embarrassed to learn to raise the outer room, and go to filial piety every month. Xia Jingui came as soon as he opened his mouth, without any scruples.

Sun Shaozu's face was flushed, how could he not be aggrieved, obviously he was his daughter-in-law, but he didn't let him touch it at all, and ran to sleep for the ninth master, but he couldn't sleep now, and he was angry with him every day. Just wear the green hat, and in the end you won't get any benefits.

If it weren't for the fact that this marriage was facilitated by the Ninth Master, he would have long wanted to divorce this woman. At this time, she could only lie on the bed like a dead corpse, whatever she said, just silent.

Xia Jingui scolded enough, and went back to the house to match the clothes and jewelry to wear tomorrow, "Tomorrow there are people from the Xue family of the imperial merchants, so you must wear them more solemnly." ”

"This apricot red brocade peony pattern shirt with this skirt sprinkled with flowers and gold, and then wearing a pearl tiara, with jade earrings and bracelets, what does Madame think?" The maid tried her best to come up with ideas.

"Change the head face of the opal." Xia Jingui was satisfied, and the next day he was dressed neatly, and he met Grandma Xue who went out with Xue Pan.

This is the first time Xia Jingui has seen Xue Pan, only to see a tall and heroic man walking towards her, his appearance actually does not conform to the current aesthetics, some are too strong, full of male hormones. But for some, it has a fatal attraction.

For example, the mountain king mountain acacia, such as Xia Jingui.

Xia Jingui felt that his heartbeat missed a beat, and then he jumped endlessly. It turned out that the eldest son of the imperial merchant Xue family was such a character, how could she not know it before? For no reason, she felt remorse.

What lent money to the Jia family to repair the garden, and what took refuge in the ninth master, are all fleeting. If she had seen Xue Pan earlier, this qiē might not have happened. Seeing Grandma Xue beside Xue Pan, Xia Jingui narrowed his eyes slightly.

If you change people, in the face of this situation, you may just sigh a few words, and then weep and say that you hate to meet and not marry in the last paragraph, and you will return Jun Mingzhu to tears, and that's it.

But that's someone else, not Xia Jingui. For Xia Jingui, what he wants must be obtained. Jiu Ye is the prince, Jiufu Jin is the royal daughter-in-law, she can't afford to provoke any of them, so she can only accept her fate. But Xue Pan is not, and Grandma Xue is not, these two people are not enough for her to accept her fate.

"Xia is in charge, look up for a long time." Xue Pan hugged his fists, and the merchants were not so strict with the defense of men and women. If the man in the family is not competent enough, the woman can also come forward. For example, the Xia family has only one daughter, and the husband she married is not good enough, so she continues to show up, and no one thinks it is inappropriate.

"I don't dare to be Xue in charge for a long time, but I have long admired you husband and wife. I think that I used to go to Jiafu often to sit as a guest, and I had a few encounters with Ling Mei, which was impressive. It's really embarrassing to think about the fact that I haven't seen Master Xue until now. ”

Hearing her mention her sister, Xue Pan grinned, "She, everyone praises her." ”

This is true, few people don't like Xue Baochai, Xia Jingui also admitted that she doesn't like this and that, but Xue Baochai is very pleasing to the eye, it seems that they really have a fate.

"This is my sister-in-law, she is really the same as people describe, heroic and beautiful." Xia Jingui grabbed Grandma Xue's hand, inadvertently touched the calluses in her palm, smiled in her heart, but was ignorant on the surface, and praised her vigorously.

Grandma Xue smiled heartily, became friends with her without any scheming, and turned her bottom upside down. Xia Jingui smiled even sweeter, such a fool who is easy to deceive can marry Xue Pan, it is really a fool who is a fool.

It's a pity that when I met her, this blessing is coming to an end.
