34. Punishment

Shi Xiangyun didn't have a good face for Lin Daiyu, but everyone knew that today's meaning was special, she didn't dare to say anything, she just deliberately ignored her with a cold face.

Daiyu planned to be a gourd with a saw-mouthed mouth, but she didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here. This acquaintance is none other than Xia Jingui. She followed Yingchun in a proper manner, saying that she was a distant relative of Jiafu.

Although there are very, very many distant relatives in Jiafu, Daiyu can be sure that in the middle of these many does not include Xia Jingui. But it's not difficult to guess, when the Grand View Garden of Jiafu was built, he only cared about excellence, and he was dumbfounded after the construction was completed.

The silver borrowed by the Xue family is not enough at all, and there is still half of it, but fortunately, Mrs. Wang has the banner of Concubine Xiande, I don't know if she took the initiative or the Xia family took the initiative, anyway, the Xia family borrowed the other half, and responded to the urgency of Jiafu.

The Xia family, who had done their best, wanted their daughter to appear today, but Mrs. Wang was always embarrassed to cross the river and demolish the bridge, so she responded, and specially asked Yingchun to take her.

The family dressed up to welcome Concubine Xiande, and everyone knelt down with Jia's mother, and was personally helped up by Yuan Chun, "Grandmother ......" shouted these two words, and they were already choked.

When I wanted to see Mrs. Wang again, the mother and daughter hugged each other and couldn't cry. Seeing Baoyu, Yuan Chun clasped his hand, "After a long time, Baoyu is so old." ”

"Big sister." Baoyu's eyes were red, and the vague memories of the old days seemed to have returned, and her expression became more and more excited.

Looking at the touching reunion scene, Daiyu is only an outsider, kneeling when she should kneel, laughing when she should laugh, in addition, she can't bear to pretend to be sisterly.

However, it is also thanks to this that she has the leisure time to observe everyone. Si Qi, who was beside Yingchun, whispered something to Yingchun as soon as he found an opportunity, kept signaling her with his eyes, and stepped forward to get close to his mother. Only Yingchun ignored her completely, which made Si Qi anxious.

In the end, Yingchun sent her down and didn't let her serve in front of her. Si Qi was helpless, and when he left, he dragged it step by step, and his face turned pale.

Xia Jingui wanted to get in front of Niangniang several times, but was firmly dragged by Tanchun, and she was not allowed to take the initiative to come up unless Niangniang asked.

After the ceremony, Yuan Chun and the Wang family had something to say, leaving the ladies to stay here, Xia Jingui suddenly had a seizure, "What are you stopping me from doing, Mrs. Wang is letting you accompany me, not letting you take care of me." ”

"What does my sister mean by this, what do you care about or not, why don't I understand it. The rules in the palace, the master does not ask, and the subordinates are not allowed to speak. Although the time is a little shorter, the rules that should be taught have also been taught, didn't my sister remember it? "Tanchun has no consciousness of begging for a life under Mrs. Wang. The personality is even quite similar to Sister Feng, and Mrs. Wang also values her very much. is also a concubine, compared to Yingchun, she lives freely, and much more freely.

"I'm not a subordinate, I'm a guest of your family, or Mrs. Wang personally invited me." Xia Jingui's face was dark, if Tanchun had been in the way all the time, wouldn't she have returned in vain.

"I didn't know that Miss Xia actually felt that she was bigger than the law of the country. Emotional Emperor Xia's family, don't you have to kowtow to the palace to ask for peace? "Tanchun is a little annoyed, what a rare day today, maybe this is the only opportunity to meet the big sister in this life, and I even have to bring a drag oil bottle. If you don't know the joints, you really want to get rid of this thing that doesn't know whether it's alive or dead.

"Good sister, I almost said the wrong thing for a while, where does this mean." Xia Jingui finally quieted down, but he was angry in his heart, and a concubine from the Guogong Mansion was also holding a big shelf.

Tanchun didn't mean to quarrel with her, but when he saw that she was soft, he just gave up.

After a lively day, people who didn't say anything to Daiyu felt tired and shedding a layer of skin. Jia Min declined Jianyi, who had rested in Jiafu for one night, and took Daiyu home.

Xingguo muttered, and Daiyu knew that Si Qi was so smart. She actually saw Sun Shaozu's bad intentions, and she wanted Yingchun to take the opportunity of Yuanchun's return this time to ask for a guarantee for her marriage.

Si Qi said that the second lady is going to be married this year, but so far, Mrs. Xing has not taken her out of the door once, let alone invited others to come to the house to sit as guests. And this Young Master Sun came to the door every now and then, and he didn't know what he was doing, only that he didn't marry. ”

The custom of Jinling, fifteen and Lu should be married, prepare a dowry for one or two years, and get married. In the first year or two, we should have walked around and looked at each other. It's really difficult to do something like Yingchun. Mrs. Xing's identity is not enough, and she doesn't care about this concubine at all. Mrs. Wang doesn't care about the big house, and Mother Jia is old, so she can only see one treasure jade in her eyes. I can't say that when I reach the age of spring, I will be casually allowed out by the eldest master.

When Xingguo said, Agarwood was also in the house, and couldn't help but "spit" when he heard it, "This kind of bad embryo is still allowed to come to the door, if you come to Lin's house, you will be beaten out a long time ago." ”

"Hey, when did he recruit you?" Daiyu only remembered that she had a look at Jiafu, where did she know that he molested Agarwood with his eyes at that time.

Agarwood's face turned red, "Anyway, I know." ”

Daiyu frowned and said, "Is it the last time?" "Agarwood is spicy, over the years, as I get older, I have become more and more calm, and I won't say such a thing. If you have spoken, you will have a point.

"Hmm." Agarwood's face was swollen and red, but she nodded without hesitation.

Xingguo listened to it with a sudden expression, "No wonder when Si Qi talked about this person, he looked like he wanted to bite him to death, it seems that he must have suffered his secret loss." ”

"Give Si Qi a few pieces of silver, and let her ask what this Sun Shaoyuan is doing with his uncle, and what is the current situation." Daiyu spoke.

Si Qi is smart and familiar with the head of the big house. It's just that I don't have any money in my hand, and when I have it, I naturally know who to ask.

"Eh, slave and maid, let's do it." Xingguo turned and went.

Agarwood was embarrassed, "What is Miss going to do, but I glanced at the slave maid, really, it really can't be a big deal." ”

Daiyu shook her head, "You are my person, if he dares to be so frivolous, he will have to pay the price." All you remember, this ......"

"The slave didn't hear anything." Agarwood quickly finished speaking, and gave a blessing. After all these years of companionship, she has long understood that Miss is a good person, and she has been very wary of Jiafu from beginning to end, which is very different from Mrs. Lady's hot look.

Daiyu didn't dare to say that she had the ability to save people, but nothing happened in front of her, so she shouldn't know. What's more, Sun Shaozu also gave her a reason, the person who offended her, she didn't punish one or two, how could she be so angry.

Sun Shaozu came to run for office, and through the relationship between the sons of world friends, he climbed to the front of the eldest master. Jia Yu took the opportunity to accept Sun Shaozu's five thousand taels of silver, but after eating and drinking, he didn't have the ability to help Sun Shaozu. Sun Shaozu used others to run to the official again, and had the confidence to argue with Jia Yu, Jia Yu didn't pay off 5,000 taels, so he used his daughter Yingchun to pay off the debt. Daiyu actually knows what happened, but she doesn't know how far she has come.

Si Qi has money, and it is for his own young lady, so he naturally does his best. Soon the news came back through Guò Xingguo, and Sun Shaozu was really looking for Jia Yu to repay the money.

After Si Qi learned about it, he also persuaded Miss, "This matter is very strange, Miss has to think of ways to protect herself." Now the plan, only by stabbing this matter in front of the old lady can there be a way to live. ”

Yingchun's face was full of disapproval, "My father owes a debt to others, and he is originally ugly, and the people in the second room can't wait to see the jokes of the big house, and I, the daughter, can't help it, where can I still burn the oil." ”

Si Qi looked at the young lady, and the bitter taste in his mouth couldn't be poured out even if he wanted to. Her guess is speculation after all, and it would be a sin to say it before it becomes a reality. But if it really becomes a reality, the young lady will have no room to turn around.

The bride who pays off her father's debts can have some respect when she arrives at her husband's house. What's more, this person's heart is not right, he usually sees a beautiful maid, and he doesn't hide the evil in his eyes at all, where is a good match. Miss Bi didn't plan for herself at all, so she couldn't say anything about her suffering.

"Yes, it's the slave who has trespassed." Si Qi retreated sullenly, and the little girl who could hear her head was happily talking about moving, and she couldn't be relieved.

The ladies of Jiafu moved to the Grand View Garden, the newly built garden, the scenery is good, and the things in the house are all new, so naturally everyone is satisfied. Even Jia Min knew about it, and gave everyone a gift to add a festive object for the nieces to move.

"Did Mother miss a copy?" Daiyu had already begun to follow Jia Min to learn the director housekeeper, looked at the gift list, and said with a smile.

"Who else." Jia Min wondered, obviously it was by head.

"Naturally, there is Baoyu."

"How is it possible, at his current age, I'm afraid he has to move to the front yard." Baoyu is fourteen years old, one year older than Daiyu, and she is in the back house, even if it is her own sister, it is too unpleasant.

Daiyu didn't speak, her mother thought it was impossible, but she knew it was possible. Jia's mother is used to Baoyu, and in Jia's mother's eyes, Baoyu is also a child at the age of fourteen, and a child who is purer than a baby.

Although Jia Min said that it was impossible, he still sent someone to Jiafu to ask. As a result, the mother-in-law who came back whispered: "Second Master Bao is also going to move, the old lady said, they are still young, and it will be possible to move out in a year or two." ”

Jia Min fell back in anger, "Confused, confused." There are still girls at home who have not yet come out of the cabinet, how can they be so confused. ”

"Mother prepares gifts, what's so angry, it's someone else's business anyway." Daiyu prepared the gift list in a moment and presented it to Jia Min, "Mother take a look, but you can make it." ”

"That's it, it's already good." Jia Min's back molars were gritted, and he was also thinking in his heart, what happened to his mother's family, and the things he did were more outrageous than the other.

Her daughter's sentence was someone else's business anyway, which made her sigh in her heart. But I can't blame my daughter, I can only scold Mrs. Wang in my heart, and think that she is a demon.

Jia Min handed over the gift to Mama Su, and the few people who didn't take advantage of this incident to run to her mother's house. Even Lin Ruhai was surprised, "Why don't you go back and have a look, I heard that the garden is well repaired, let's take a good look." ”

"Look at what the master said, am my eyelids so shallow? A garden hooked me, I haven't seen any good gardens in Yangzhou. What Jia Min said is that in the boundary of Yangzhou, rich businessmen gather, and they like to compare, and the garden at home is fresh and elegant, and the atmosphere is luxurious, what have you never seen.

"Madame blames her husband for not building you such a garden." Lin Ruhai's smile was straightforward, which made Jia Min laugh too.

"What did the master say, do I have no eyesight?" Although Lin Ruhai is not as good as the lord's family, he is deeply used by the emperor, if Jia Min doesn't care about the silver, wouldn't he hand over the handle to his political enemies. People like them, unlike lords, are destined to live in different ways.

"My daughter is also older, and our family doesn't have any family background in Jinling, so you can take advantage of the past few years to look at the shop Zhuangzi, no matter what you do, pick up the right one. The daughter is older, and the son is not young, so I will be tired of my wife to worry about these days. As he spoke, he pulled out a small box from his sleeve.

Jia Min opened it and saw that it was a silver ticket of 100,000 taels, his heart was pounding, and his mouth was dry.

"Master, you also know that our family's family is not short of silver, besides, you are good, more important than silver."

Lin Ruhai saw her excitedly grabbing her hand, her heart warmed, and she couldn't help but hold her hand and rub it lightly on the back of her hand, "Don't worry, it's the favor of the fourth master, when he was in Yangzhou, he raised a military salary for him." ”

Jia Min patted his chest and looked at him with a look of disgust, "Master scared me to death." ”

Lin Ruhai's favorite Jia Min's is this. In the end, she is a young lady from the Guogong Mansion, and she doesn't take gold and silver as a top priority. She has never asked Lin Ruhai to go out to get money and come back, it was Lin Ruhai who sent it back, and she had to ask again and again. even secretly persuaded him not to fall on the handle.

Compared with the wives of some colleagues, I wish the old man would get a mountain of silver and gold back, and his eyelids are so shallow that he will accept a heavy gift, regardless of whether he can do it or not. Lin Ruhai felt more and more that his father-in-law treated him really well.

In those positions where he stays, if he really marries someone with shallow eyelids, and there is a large family of relatives who want to climb up and get a piece of the pie, he may not be able to sit peacefully until now.

Although the Yue family has done a lot of foolish things in recent years, in the end, they have maintained their own identity, and they have not troubled him, or asked him to do anything that he can't do. Therefore, he was tolerant of what happened to the Yue family and didn't care about it.

Jia Min was busy buying family business, and Daiyu was busy staring at Sun Shaozu. Finally waited for the news, Jia Yu didn't dare to stab the shame in front of Jia's mother, and had already written eight characters to Sun Shaozu, and used his daughter to settle the debt.

This matter has been hidden from the people in Jiafu, and he planned to let Sun Shaozu combine the eight characters, he directly wrote the marriage book, and then asked him to invite someone to come to the door to propose marriage, make a show, and make his face look better. At that time, it will be useless for Jia's mother to object, she will not regret her marriage for the sake of an unpleasant granddaughter.

"Where is Sun Shaozu now?" Daiyu asked.

"It's already staring at people, living in the upper room of the Yunlai Inn. I heard, I heard that ......" Xingguo squeaked for a while, and still whispered: "Night and night summoned a trick as a companion." ”

Agarwood took another sip, quite dissatisfied, "How can Xiao Nizi say anything, can Miss listen to this kind of thing?" ”

Daiyu gave Xingguo an encouraging smile, but did not refute Agarwood's words. She was born in a very different era and had a very different education. It's not something that can be changed simply, but if you do it, what you should think or what you want to think in your heart.

"I'll find a chance to go shopping tomorrow." Daiyu is not playful, so as soon as she wanted to go on the street, Jia Min agreed.

"Wait a few days, my mother has made an appointment to go outside to see a few Zhuangzi." Jia Min discussed with her daughter.

"I'm just going out for a walk, and with so many people following, what are I afraid of?" Daiyu begged a few words, and Jia Min agreed, in addition to the mother-in-law and maid, she went to the front yard and ordered a few guards to follow the car.

I also told the coachman that he was not allowed to go anywhere else, but only walked around Qianmen Street, bought some things and came back.

Yunlai Inn is near Qianmen Street, Daiyu got off the car and went to a silk forging shop, the things in this shop are only middle and low-grade, and because of unsalable, they are still being sold at a reduced price. The mother-in-law flattered: "Miss, the things here are afraid that they don't fit your eyes, the slave knows a few good ones, so it's better to go there and have a look." ”

The things here are not necessarily in the agarwood, let alone Miss. Unexpectedly, Daiyu shook her head, "I just came out to shop, and I don't have to buy it, just look at the people's livelihood prices." ”

That's right, it's true, the mother-in-law didn't dare to stop it, so walk carefully on the left side to prevent someone from bumping into the young lady.

Sun Shaozu listened to the guy in the inn, but he felt that it was just right, he went to Jiafu to propose, and he always had to prepare a gift box. Where is he willing to spend a lot of money on it, naturally the cheaper the better. He picked up the cheapest and most fancy forging and asked for four. Just as he was about to pay, he saw a delicate girl coming down from the carriage outside.

The eyebrows and eyes are as elegant and clear as the fresh water of Moshan Mountain, the lips of the nose and the cherry lips, and the fresh morning dew hangs on the branches. The best thing is a pair of talking eyes, agile like a deer jumping in the woods.

Sun Shaozu's heart was like a cat scratching, and his face also showed a look of intoxication. When the mother-in-law in front saw it, she immediately took a sip, "Where did you come from, don't get out of the way." ”

"Oh, you mother-in-law, young dogs look down on people, this is Lord Sun, which family are you." Sun Shaozu was followed by a small servant, and he had just followed him, and it was the time when the chart xiàn stood up at this time.

Xingguo poked out a small head from Daiyu's body, and said timidly: "You, what do you want to do, we, we are relatives of Rongguo Mansion." ”

The Lin family was not allowed to mention the Rongguo Mansion, and even the agarwood was not brought with him, just to lure him into being fooled.

Sure enough, it's okay not to listen to Rongguofu, after listening to the name of Rongguofu, Sun Shaozu is sure that these people are distant poor relatives of Rongguofu. He secretly thought that if he mentioned it to Jia Yu, he might be able to go with this woman and enjoy the blessings of all people, so happy.

When the little guy heard this, he was also happy, and his attitude was even more arrogant, "That relationship is good, our Lord Sun is the son-in-law of Rongguo Mansion, I can't say it, we still have to be close to each other." ”

The mother-in-law was angry, and was about to reply when the young lady grabbed the corner of her clothes from behind, and whispered: "Don't speak, when I say I'm angry, you can directly step forward and slap him." ”

After Daiyu finished speaking, she opened her mouth by herself, "How is it possible, the sisters of Rongguo Mansion have no relatives, you don't fool people." The voice was soft and cowardly, without any lethality.

Sun Shaozu couldn't wait to say a few more words to her, and said with a smile: "Where is my sister, what is the relationship with Rongguo Mansion, and I will take care of my relatives in the future." As for whether it's true or not, you'll find out in a few days. ”

"I don't believe it, look at these forgings you bought, even the mother-in-law of Rongguofu doesn't bother to wear them, you are poor and still want to marry a girl from Rongguofu, I think you are delusional, and you have lost your mind. I'm really angry, it's hard to meet such a crazy person on a trip. ”

The mother-in-law stepped forward and slapped him, and without defense, Sun Shaozu was slapped squarely. When the little servant saw that his master was insulted, he threw himself up with a snort. Xingguo went out early and called the guards, and in an instant several guards rushed forward, and the mother-in-law and Xingguo escorted Daiyu to the car. The guards beat Sun Shaozu fatly, threw him at the intersection, and walked away.

Looking at the three carriages traveling, as well as the emblem of the Lin family above, Sun Shaozu knew that this was the poor relative of Rongguo Mansion. This is the official relative of Rongguo Mansion, the family of Lord Lin Ruhailin, a big celebrity in front of the emperor.

The little guy who was also beaten was still clamoring to report to the official, but was kicked by Sun Shaozu, scolding and screaming bad luck.

I can't figure out how the female relatives of the Lin family came to this kind of shop, and only brought a mother-in-law and a maidservant into the store. I couldn't figure it out and was offended, so I just looked forward to turning around and marrying, and relied on Jia Yu to mediate and erase this section.

Daiyu sneered in the car, Agarwood had already let people go to the inn to touch the Geng sticker and send it to the young lady, and it was the eight-character hour of spring.

When she got home, Daiyu kicked everyone out, sharpened the ink and began to write. She has been reading and learning calligraphy since she was a child, and she can draw a stroke, which is not very good, she can just see people. You can also learn a good hand, and you can do it well.

But no one knew that she had been left-handed in her previous life, and later forced herself to learn to write with her right hand. So, she can write with both hands on her left hand. In this life, with a little practice, she can also learn calligraphy and painting with her left and right hands, and she can't tell that it is written or painted by a person at all.

Her left hand is good at imitation, and after simulating the Geng sticker, it is like the original Geng paste thrown into the brazier and burned clean. Then put this new Geng sticker on the table to dry, just wait for Jia Min to go home, and then complain.

Jia Min came back very early, and heard from her mother-in-law that the young lady would come back in less than half an hour, and before she could ask her daughter, Daiyu had already come by herself.

"What's going on?" The daughter's eyes are red and her sleeves are wrinkled, how can she live like she is being bullied.

"Mother, my daughter is not alive......" threw herself into Jia Min's arms regardless of it, crying loudly.

Jia Min asked if she didn't understand, and quickly called Xingguo in, "What's the matter, so many of you follow Miss, are you all eating dry rice?" Angry, let Xingguo hurry up.

Xingguo's mouth is very slippery, "...... Staring at the young lady non-stop, we were annoyed and scolded him, he actually said that he was the son-in-law of Rongguofu, and no one dared. also said with a shy face that he wanted to take care of Miss and pull Miss Sleeve. ”

"Phew, what kind of bullshit, nonsense, come on, go and invite the master, this shameless man, it's against the sky." Jia Min trembled angrily, called the people who went out, and scolded them all. It was still Daiyu who stopped her, saying that if it weren't for their protection, she wouldn't be able to get out, not to mention, she had more important things.

The Geng sticker in his hand was handed over, Jia Min opened it and looked at it, and wondered: "What is this?" ”

"It was when the guards beat him that he fell off him, and Xingguo was clever and picked it up."

Jia Min looked at it again, "This is, this is the eight characters of Tanchun." ”

Daiyu was puzzled: "It's true, I just thought he was talking nonsense, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”

She is younger than Yingchun and Tanchun, and it is normal that she doesn't know their eight characters.

Jia Min was stunned, I didn't hear that the nieces were discussing marriage, and the object of the negotiation was actually this kind of color embryo, how could it be.

Lin Ruhai was urged back from the yamen by his family, and panted and said, "Something happened, you are all okay." ”

The mother and daughter sat in the room in a good manner, but their faces were not very good. As soon as Jia Min said today's incident, Lin Ruhai's brows were tightly twisted together, "Geng sticker, bring it to me, come here, hand me the post to Rongguo Mansion, and say I'll go tomorrow." ”

Then he asked his daughter, "How did you come up with the idea of going to that shop?" ”

Daiyu looked aggrieved, "My daughter followed her mother's housekeeper during this time, and found that her daughter didn't know the economy at all, so she wanted to go to the street, and she didn't want to buy anything, but she just learned about the price of people's livelihood." I don't have to say that I understand the price, I just look at the expensive, of course, you have to know a rough idea of the expensive one. ”

This explanation is reasonable, Lin Ruhai nodded, "It's not that Daddy doesn't believe us Daiyu, since he is going to ask clearly, he naturally has to be reasonable." ”

Daiyu nodded, "Daddy, can you not let the third sister marry him, this surnamed Sun is not a good person." ”

"Don't worry, Daddy will give you an explanation." Lin Ruhai was very kind to the child, let Daiyu go down to rest, and ordered someone to ask the imperial doctor to prescribe some soothing prescriptions for his daughter to drink.

Daiyu drank the medicine, and Xingguo secretly asked while no one was around: "There won't be a mistake over there, let the third lady out." ”

Daiyu sneered, "How is it possible, it's strange that the second aunt will agree, it's a disaster caused by the big house." She was sure that the second room would never carry it for the big house, and she would stab Jia Mu 100% as soon as possible.
