Daiyu couldn't help but sigh when she knew what happened to Wen Ruwan, but she didn't have sympathy for this kind of person. She sympathizes only with those who are powerless to decide their own fate, and will never sympathize with those who suffer the consequences. For Wen Ruwan, it is not the result of seeking benevolence.

The thirteenth master went out of the house for the first time in nearly ten years, went straight to the Lin family, and gave a dowry of 100,000 taels of silver, and a pair of live geese on the head, a pair of coconut and a pair of big fish with a one-to-one meter length, as well as wine, meat, fruits, and tea, etc., needless to mention.

Jia Min sat cross-legged on the couch, with a list beside him, and was discussing with Lin Ruhai, "The bride price must be brought back to Daiyu as it is, the three Zhuangzi and the four shops were set early in the morning, plus 100,000 taels to do other things." Then send someone to Jiangnan to buy jewelry, the wood is prepared in the morning, and now you can ask someone to start work. It is estimated that there is no problem in getting a dowry of one hundred and twenty lifts, and there can be tens of thousands of taels of silver more, and she will be pressed to the bottom of the box and brought over. ”

Lin Ruhai listened carefully, "The dowry and our 100,000 taels, a total of 200,000 to press the bottom of the box for her." Zhuangzi and the shop lost the money as they were, and bought another silver, 50,000 taels is not enough, I will ask the cold butler to send you the silver ticket in a while. After all, she is married to the royal family, and she is the eldest son and daughter-in-law, so how can she hold it down if the dowry is not much. ”

"Okay, I'm afraid that Jingyu ......" Just two children, Jingyu will marry a daughter-in-law in a few years, the palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, and if you don't have a bowl of water, you are afraid that they will have a gap in the future.

"My son, if he doesn't have the opportunity to do this, don't admit it." Lin Ruhai waved her hand, so that she didn't have to say any more. Jia Min thought about it and was relieved. Their sister and brother have been close since childhood, so they shouldn't care about this.

The Wen family was sent to the mansion of the abolished prince because of a concubine, which ruined Wen Ruyu's marriage. Coupled with the yin and yang weirdness of the other rooms of the Wen family, she kept hinting that she didn't teach her concubine well, and she fell ill all of a sudden.

Daiyu went to the Wen family with her mother to visit the sick, and the grandmother of the Wen family personally greeted her at the second gate, and Daiyu stepped forward to give her a gift.

When I saw the people, I saw that Grandma Wen San's face was yellow, and the person was even thinner and out of the frame. Jia Min's tears welled up all of a sudden, "What do you say, isn't it wind cold?" How did you lose weight like this, how did you recuperate. ”

"Mrs. Lin, hurry up and persuade our grandmother, you have no appetite for anything, let alone being sick, even good people can't help but eat or drink like this." Grandma Wen's eldest maid has already knelt down and is about to kowtow to Jia Min.

Wen Ruyan and Wen Ruyu came in with a medicine bowl and millet porridge. Put down the things in your hand, the two girls are also full of tears.

Daiyu was taken to her room by Wen Ruyan to talk, and Wen Ruyu sat with her for a while before leaving. Wen Ruyan's eyes were swollen, "Second sister is in a bad mood, don't blame her." ”

"Stupid, what's in her bad mood, it's just that the eight characters don't match, it's that they are not blessed." The other party returned the Geng paste with a disagreement, but everyone knew that this was an excuse. is the only one who says it so confidently, which makes people feel refreshed from the momentum.

Wen Ruyan looked at her enviously, "If only I could be like you." ”

"You are the eldest daughter of the third room, and you still have a brother to rely on, why can't you be justified. If you could have been brave earlier, your mother wouldn't have worked so hard alone. Daiyu dragged her hand, these words, she saw that Grandma Wen San was too pitiful, and only said them once. Wen Ruyan can listen to it, but if she can't listen, she will never say a word in the future.

"At this time, everyone is watching your mother's jokes, if you don't help her, who will help her. Count on your father, or count on your aunts and uncles. Aunt Wen has a heart disease, and heart disease still needs heart medicine. If your daughter doesn't do her medicine, who else can you count on. ”

Master Wen San is not a heinous person, but he is too affectionate, and he is always tolerant of the woman he likes. To outsiders, this is not a problem at all. But his own Yourong made a mistake, and no one would blame him, but they all blamed Grandma Wen for not governing the family strictly.

At this time, if Wen Ruyan didn't stand up, Grandma Wen's spirit collapsed, and it really collapsed.

"I ......" Wen Ruyan clenched her handkerchief and cried bitterly. The mental torture she suffered during this time was something she could not have imagined before. Even she was depressed, she just wanted to hide and refuse to see anyone, and her father was drunk every day to escape a qiē. Think about your mother, how much pressure she is under.

Daiyu patted her on the back, "Crying can't solve the problem, but you can vent your feelings, and after venting, you should think about what you can do for your mother." ”

"I see, thank you." Wen Ruyan wrung a handkerchief to wipe her face with her own hands, and took out powder to cover the tiredness on her face.

After they finished speaking, Jia Min had already asked someone to invite Daiyu over.

"Your mother is in a very bad spirit, so I won't stay longer, you can accompany her more and talk to her. To put it mildly, the incident did not happen to the child she raised, how long can this matter be troubled, and when the boring people say enough, this matter will be over. ”

Wen Ruyan personally sent Jia Min out, Jia Min took her hand and shook it twice, for fear that the child would not understand.

"Thank you, Aunt Lin, Ruyan was too confused before." Wen Ruyan sent them away, came to the outside of her mother's house, rubbed her face vigorously for a long time, and then walked in with brisk steps.

"Fortunately, Ruyan's marriage has already been decided, and the Tian family is also a family that talks about rules, otherwise it would be even more sad." Jia Min sighed and taught her daughter again, "Where is my aunt teaching well, no matter how much I don't like it, she also has a surname with herself, and if she doesn't teach well, she must be strict with her, and if she doesn't succeed in both, something will happen." ”

"My daughter won't." Daiyu smiled Yan Yan, knowing that her mother was taking the opportunity to tell her what to do.

"It's good that you understand it in your heart, and let the imperial doctor come over tomorrow to give you some health pills. The royal family is not good at this, and it is not good to pay attention to the difference between the concubines. "In ordinary families, in order to avoid messing up the position of the eldest son, they wait for their wives to give birth to a son before they allow the concubine to become pregnant. There is only the royal family, and they can't wait to spread out more branches and leaves, and they don't pay attention to it at all. Even the emperor has an eldest son, and before the elder brothers got married, he sent a bunch of little wives to serve, and there was never a saying that he drank the soup of avoiding children.

"The daughter means that he will not have any children." Dai Yu smiled, and her eyes were cold.

"Daiyu, you are not allowed to mess around." Jia Min was shocked, hasn't her daughter always been kind and generous, smart and skilled? How can there be such an idea, marrying into someone else's family or relying on Lin Ruhai to forcibly suppress his son-in-law, but marrying into the royal family, his stubbornness can only be his own loss. She began to regret it, if she had known that her daughter had this idea, she would rather choose a family affair for her daughter early in the morning.

"How could I mess around? Of course, it is justified. If he does not leave me, I will live and die, and if he is unkind, I will destroy the flowers. Daiyu didn't even move her eyebrows, she was already very unlucky, wearing into such a world from an independent and free place. In order not to fall into the predetermined ending of the book, she worked hard to get to where she is today.

Could it be that she did so much to share a man with a bunch of women? No, never.

Jia Min was really anxious, "Which elder brother doesn't have a side blessing and a blessing, even if he doesn't accept it, the emperor also wants to be royal." What you have to think about is how to make Brother have you in his heart, as long as he respects you and loves you, no matter how many women there are, what is it. Don't be foolish, you're fighting with open fire like this, and you'll only push him farther and farther. ”

"Mother, don't worry, I know what I'm talking about, and I understand the consequences." Daiyu decided not to say more, she shouldn't be quick to talk for a while, so that her mother was anxious.

had already arrived home, Jia Min didn't say anything more, and let her daughter go back to her yard. The embroidery girls invited by Mama Su are already in place, and they each embroider their own tricks for Jia Min to choose.

"I'll take a look, if the embroidery is good, let's leave it, there's a big family over there, how many things to embroider." Jia Min took a closer look, and the work in her hand that could be selected by Mama Su could not be wrong.

"Yes, the old slave will arrange for them to live in the Magnolia Courtyard, and Ming'er will start." Mama Su handed over the list in her hand, full of pages full of the types and quantities of work to be done, and asked Jia Min if she wanted to add or subtract.

"Let's do this, if you think of something, you can add it to it, you can help me think more." As soon as Jia Min handed over this matter, she began to have a headache, when did her daughter have such thoughts, why didn't she know at all.

This matter cannot be discussed with others, let alone discussed, and not a single word dare to leak out. This urgency, coupled with the heat of the day, the chilled sour plum soup was drunk urgently, and it accumulated in my heart, and it burned that night.

Daiyu heard the movement in the middle of the night and asked Xingguo to inquire, only to know that her mother was sick. Hurriedly put on his clothes and got up, when he arrived, Jia Min had already induced vomiting, spit out the accumulated food, and the person immediately felt much better, and then poured a bowl of medicine, and the fever subsided.

"Let's go back, I'm fine." Jia Min is not young anymore, tossed a little, and the skin on his face drooped down. The wrinkles at the corners of the eyes also deepened, making him look haggard and unfocused.

"Mother, have a good rest, I'll come back tomorrow morning." When Daiyu went back, she looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and her heart moved, so she untied the jade plate on her waist, raised it in front of her, and aimed it at the moon in the sky.

"Spend the full moon, it turns out that you are the full moon." Daiyu played with herself for a long time, and then put away the jade card and returned to the yard.

Jia Min's illness is considered an emergency, and it comes and goes quickly, and when I look at it the next day, except for some lack of energy, there is nothing wrong with the person. In order to nourish the stomach, breakfast is boiled shredded chicken porridge, which is also a soft and glutinous staple food.

Daiyu accompanied her to drink a bowl, and heard that the gift from Jiafu was delivered.

The person who came was a mandarin duck, and as soon as he came in, he said: "Congratulations to Mrs. Gu, congratulations to Miss, the old lady got the letter, she was going to come yesterday, but she opened the private treasury and picked her eyes, and it took a day to pick, so it dragged on until today." ”

"Look at what you said, hurry up and show the Mandarin Duck girl how the old lady is doing lately." Jia Min took the gift slip handed over from the mandarin duck and put it aside, no matter what she sent, it was the old lady's heart, and she appreciated it.

"The old lady is very good, the second young grandmother comes over every day to talk to the old lady, which makes the old lady happy." The mandarin duck said with a smile, still holding a small box in his hand, and only then did he open it and hand it over.

"This one is not on the gift list, it is all the old lady's dowry when she was young, and she said that it was left for Miss Cousin as a thought." In the box is a small flower crown with a little emerald, which is precious, but not very complicated, small and small, very suitable for young girls' families.

"I know this, I watched my mother wear it when I was a child, this flower crown is too precious." Jia Min thought to herself that her mother really felt sorry for Daiyu, but it was a pity that her mother didn't find a good daughter-in-law for herself.

There is also an agarwood carved screen in the gift list, where you can place it, you can vaguely smell a fragrance. And look at the carver to know that it is an old object, where can the average person have such a profound thing, not to mention their own silver, but such a large object that supports the scene, it cannot be compared with the Guogong Mansion.

There are also a few rare books and several volumes of celebrity paintings and books from the previous dynasty, seeing these things, Jia Min knew that her mother must have thought about it carefully, and it was all things that the Lin family did not easily purchase in a short period of time.

"Go back and tell my mother, and I'll take Daiyu back to see her in two days."

"Yes, the old lady listened, and it is estimated that she can eat half a bowl of rice." The mandarin duck got up with a smile and said goodbye, and when she left, Mama Su stuffed a big red envelope into her hand.

Diancui's little flower crown Daiyu liked it very much, and deliberately touched the agarwood screen, she had seen one in a friend's house in her previous life, only the size of a palm, as a collection in the glass case, not even touched by people.

Such a large piece, if it was placed in a previous life, it would be really priceless. Even in this era, it is also a rarity. The carvings on the top are the flowers of the four seasons, peonies, lotuses, osmanthus and plum blossoms. The texture on each petal seems to be engraved into the weight of time, which makes people feel calm at first sight.

Go and thank the old lady in person, this is definitely what she wants. Now that Baoyu has become a relative, she has no resistance to Jiafu, and she still has to do the due courtesy. Of course, if Jia Mansion really changes Mrs. Wang's head of the house in the future, she will never take a step forward.

Bao Chai combed the woman's hair, and her plump body was more suitable for today's grand costumes and hair accessories. A pearl tassel hangs on her forehead on her head, swaying slightly between walks, the pearls are mellow and colliding together, and the melodious sound of the ring is whispering, showing that she is deliberately dressed up.

"Congratulations sister, hearing this news, your second brother Bao didn't sleep well in excitement." Baochai carefully observed her reaction, only to see Daiyu smile faintly and not comment at all.

After saying that, Baochai regretted it, and secretly hated that she had become the kind of ignorant woman who did such things as secretly spying on other people's reactions. She originally understood in her heart that Baoyu was unrequited love at all. She thought that when they became married, he would naturally relent. But she waited for a long time, but she couldn't wait for his heart. The more time passed, the more disappointed she became, and it was inevitable that she would become jealous of another person who had something she couldn't think of without much effort.

It's just that her reason didn't let this jealousy spread, she thought she hid it well, but at the moment she saw her, she admitted that she still broke the credit.

"Come in, old lady is afraid that she will be in a hurry." Baochai was anxious to hide his loss of control, and hurriedly held Daiyu's hand affectionately.

"I heard that my sister-in-law comes to talk to the old lady every day, but I also have a sister-in-law, and the second brother has also grown up, so I can't be like when I was a child, and the old man will inevitably be lonely." Daiyu just had nothing to say, and responded casually, but Baochai touched her stomach and looked gloomy.

Baoyu soon arrived, and now he was detained by Jia Zheng to study at home, and specially invited his husband to come and force him to take the road of the imperial examination. It was easy to find an excuse and immediately asked for leave to come to meet the guest.

"Auntie, sister." Baoyu's joy came from the bottom of her heart, and it was not hidden on her face at all.

"When your sister went out, you brought a few small ones, and they all went to Lin's house to join in the fun." The Lin family has no relatives, and even the clansmen are gone. When marrying, it always takes a lot of people to be interesting, and Jia's mother said so.

"Brother Hongyun, is he good for his sister?" Baoyu was infatuated again, and he didn't look at the occasion, looked at Daiyu, and asked with red eyes.

Everyone present was accustomed to Baoyu's style, and no one took it seriously.

"Fabulous." Daiyu was concise and to the point, just lowered her head and didn't look at his expression.

"That'll be fine." Baoyu felt that she was about to cry, heartbroken petal by petal. He shuffled a few steps and fell back into his chair.

As soon as the back of his hand was warm, Baochai's hand pressed on the back of his hand, a pair of beautiful eyes looked at him, and said with a smile: "My sister and Brother Hongyun are also childhood sweethearts, I heard that they are still the daughter-in-law personally selected by the thirteenth master, how can it be bad." ”

"And there's something else going on." The old lady heard it for the first time, and her eyes turned to Jia Min.

"When Daiyu was a few years old, the Thirteenth Master Office sent to Yangzhou to sit in our house, and when he saw Daiyu, he said that he wanted such a daughter. At that time, a jade plaque was given, but it was not explicitly stated. Behind is Prince Yong's matchmaker, and the lord should go down. Looking back, it's really fate. ”

Jia Min glanced at Baochai casually and explained with a smile.

The old lady nodded, "It's really fate, how is the dowry purchased, if there is anything missing that is not easy to buy, open your mouth, Lian'er has been doing some chores in the past few years, but she has become more and more on the road." I can run errands for you, and you can call for your nephew. ”

"Then thank you mother, if there is a need, the daughter will definitely speak." Jia Min really has a few things, and she wants to find someone to go to Jiangnan for her. In this way, Jia Lian is the right person.

When Jia Min was talking to the old lady, Baochai took the opportunity to say to Daiyu: "My sister-in-law is going to hold a flower party in a few days, and I want to give you a post, I don't know if you are free." ”

Xue Pan has already married, Daiyu is a little strange, she didn't hear the wind.

Baochai was also embarrassed: "They were married outside, and they came to Jinling after they got married, and they wanted to meet these relatives at home by holding a flower party." ”

No wonder, skipping the family affair and directly holding a family recognition meeting, which is interesting. Daiyu nodded, "Then I must go." "There's really no reason to refuse.

The next day, Daiyu received an invitation post, and at first glance it was written by Baochai, with a dark pattern with incense, and a good-looking hairpin. This sister-in-law didn't write her own way of holding a flower banquet. thought that Xue Pan should have married Xia Jingui, but under her intentional or unintentional intervention, Xia Jingui and Xue Pan didn't even meet.

As a result, when he saw someone, not to mention that Daiyu was surprised, Shi Xiangyun, Jia Qin, and some distant relatives of the Xue family or the Jia family who were not often met were all surprised and couldn't close their mouths.

Where is this Grandma Xue, it is clearly a female insect. Two thick eyebrows, extremely spiritual eyebrows, seeing people is not saluting, but clenching fists.

When walking, the tiger is vigorous, only to see one step out, the maids have to trot to keep up. Speaking like a bell, he hugged his fists and said loudly: "Thank you sisters for coming to cheer, I have nothing else, a glass of wine, to show respect." ”

said that he really poured a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp in front of everyone. Even Shi Xiangyun, who claims to be a hero, was dumbfounded, not to mention others. Almost everyone was petrified, but Baochai came, "Sister-in-law, why don't you wait for me." "I was annoyed that my mother was pulling her to talk, and as a result, she lost time.

"Seeing you talking to your mother, I'll come out first to meet the sisters, sure enough, they are all like fairies in the painting, they are good-looking, I'm afraid it's not okay to climb the mountain on a horse, let alone draw a bow and shoot arrows." With a pity and a determined look, people can't help but think, when did Jinling change the direction of the wind, and did women also have to take the horse-drawn bow?

Daiyu chuckled, "In this way, Grandma Xue often rides horses up the mountain, what is she doing when she draws a bow and shoots arrows, is it hunting?" "Xue Pan's wife is interesting, it seems that he is a bastard with a bit of a masochistic physique, and he is looking for powerful women. Even Xia Jingui can pinch him, and this mountain acacia is not a problem.

"Of course, how can the people in the cottage not do this, we ......"

"Sister-in-law, it's time to invite the guests to take a seat." Baochai interrupted strongly, and Shanhuai slapped his forehead in annoyance, "Look at me, I forgot again." ”

Forgotten, forgot something, Daiyu held back the question in her heart, very curious, what kind of origin is this mountain acacia.

"None of you drink? All drinking tea? "The mountain acacia is very incredible, but I don't know that others are also incredible.

"My sister-in-law was born in the mountains, she is innocent and rude, and I ask the sisters not to blame." Baochai played a round, and others dared to speak, otherwise they really didn't know what to say.

Throwing the pot, Shanban won everyone alone, and she stopped after playing Shuanglu. He also asked people where they could run horses in Jinling.

"You can't run horses in the city, you have to run outside the city, the Xue family doesn't know if there is a Zhuangzi outside, find an open terrain over there, but you can run." Daiyu saw that she was really pitiful, so she accosted.

"Really, do we have it?" This is to ask Baochai.

"Yes, my sister-in-law wants to go, let my brother accompany you." Baochai's smiling face froze, and it was the first time for Daiyu to see Baochai, who was good at dancing with long sleeves, showing such an expression.
