As the host, Mrs. Wang naturally looked angry, "What do you mean by this, do you mean that the young lady in the banquet and your son can't stand it privately." The banquet is full of your own relatives and daughters, where are you putting us? ”

Jia Min said without yin or yang: "No wonder my sister-in-law is angry, who is not angry if she changes." Good young master, there are people following you when you go in and out, how can you get a hairpin, it's incredible. ”

When Mrs. Shi heard this, she quickly defended, "This kind of thing, even if my son is wrong, we must find someone first, and then we can apologize." "The eyeballs rolled to Daiyu, and I thought, when I find someone, I will take Naqiao well, if you don't come to beg me, and then pay a rich dowry, I won't want your daughter.

"That's right, you can do such things in Rongguo Mansion, and I don't know what to do when I get outside." Jia Min also had a cold face, looking directly at Shi Yuan, such a person also wants to climb his daughter, he really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

Shi Yuan's face tightened, no matter how Mrs. Shi asked, he refused to say a word. He just stared at his feet, his fists clenched. He made up his mind, he couldn't say anything now, just wait for his mother to go to the Lin family tomorrow to propose marriage, and the matter would be settled.

Seeing that Shi Yuan didn't speak, Daiyu was a little surprised, this little gentleman was a little more responsible than she imagined. But in today's play, he is just a supporting role, and his fate is not in his hands.

"What's the white hosta, just ask who lost it? Maybe my cousin picked it up, but I don't know what to do? Daiyu shook the fan lightly and said slowly.

Mrs. Shi's eyes moved slightly, only saying that she was in a hurry, and suddenly her heart was settled, and she felt more and more that she had pinched her.

"Yuan'er, this hairpin was really picked up by you." Mrs. Shi asked her son.

Shi Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his mother was raised high and let it go gently, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I picked it up." I was trying to find a chance to give it to Aunt Wang to return it on my behalf, but my sister accidentally pulled it out. ”

"Since this is the case, it is just right, our distant son also lost a cloisonné sapphire bracelet inherited by the Shi family in Jiafu, it is better for the big guy to help find it, and see if anyone can pick it up and return it to me." Mrs. Shi looked at her son with a smile, and the meaning in her eyes seemed to say, the things you deliberately put in your arms when you went out, when I don't know?

"Why do you have so many things to pick up?" Someone asked stupidly, and was dragged down by someone pulling his sleeve. Cover your mouth and warn, "If you don't speak, you won't be killed." ”

"Dare to ask Aunt Shi, what if someone picks it up, what if it doesn't pick it up." Daiyu chuckled, this matter has to be smashed.

"This is the ancestral inheritance of our historians, and it is left to our daughters-in-law from generation to generation. What do I have to say, of course, it is a generous gift. Mrs. Shi was disdainful, this kind of thing was rumored before marriage, even if she married in, she had no face, and she was not obedient. When the time comes, it will be logical to use the dowry to supplement the family.

"That's great, this bracelet was picked up by our sister Qin, Aunt Shi hurry up and give it away." Daiyu turned to look at Jia Qin, and the eyes of the two met, and they both knew it. Jia Qin knew what she was going to do before she came, and this was what she fought for. In the current environment, Shi Yuan is the best family affair she can seek, even if something comes out before marriage, it will be covered afterwards, and after a few years, who will remember this little thing.

She knew very well what she should do, took out the bracelet from her arms, and said softly: "I don't know if it's this one, I happened to pick it up, and now it's all back to Zhao." ”

Mrs. Shi and Shi Yuan's faces changed, Shi Yuan looked at Lin Daiyu stupidly, he thought that this was a plan by Daiyu to get out, anyway, he wouldn't say it. Mrs. Shi is the same, secretly calling Lin Daiyu cunning, but she is not afraid.

Pi Xiaorou didn't smile and said: "I don't know where this girl picked it up, we have been staying in front of Yuan'er, when did you get to the front yard." The words are to detain Jia Qin, if you don't tell the truth, this hat is buttoned down, she will have no face to see people.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Mrs. Shi and said dissatisfiedly: "What is this, she has been sitting with Daiyu, except for going to change her clothes halfway, she has not gone anywhere." It sounds like it's excusing Jia Qin, but in fact, it's Lin Daiyu who is also being detained.

"Then I don't understand, can the bracelet grow feet and run to the back for people to pick up? Licorice, you say, what the hell is going on. Haven't you always been by the young master's side? ”

"Madam, you can't talk about this here, you can't say it." The little licorice burst into tears, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

Shi Yuan looked at the licorice, kicked it, his angry lips trembled, and said sharply: "You dare." He finally understood why his mother found an opportunity for him to ask the girl if he wanted to marry him, and what he said was accurate, so he had the cheekiness to go to the door of Denglin's house.

Mother must be calculating the Lin family and calculating Lin Daiyu, so even if she marries her, she will have to bear a stigma. He looked at his mother, his eyes showing pleading, as long as his mother stopped at this time, it would be too late.

"If you say it, if you don't say it, you will be killed on the spot." Mrs. Shi gritted her teeth, and there was anger in her voice that she couldn't hide.

Licorice looked at Lin Daiyu with a wince, and Ai Ai testified: "It was the young master who gave the bracelet to Miss Lin." ”

The audience was shocked, and Jia Min even spat on the spot, "Nonsense." "Looking at Mrs. Shida's eyes is like a knife.

"Small, small is not talking nonsense, this white hosta was given to the young master by Miss Lin...... A token of affection. Licorice kicked Shi Yuan again, kicked the center of the mouth, shrunk into a ball, and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Shi Yuan refused to stop, kicking and screaming, "Kill you, the villain who betrays the master, go to death." But he didn't know that out of anger, he confirmed the matter of sending love tokens to each other.

Licorice opened her mouth, Mrs. Shi still cares about his life or death, and it is good to vent her anger for her son. As if the victory was in hand, he looked at Jia Min with pity, and sighed: "This is really, what is good to say." ”

"Slowly, a small relationship can set the reputation of the two young masters and young ladies, and the Guogong Mansion is so majestic. You say that this thing belongs to our Daiyu, and I bah, so people who have never seen good things will believe it. This kind of white jade is used in our home, that is, when we are appreciating people, and it can never be inserted into the master's head. Let me ask, Shi Yuan saw our Daiyu with his own eyes, you gave a bracelet face-to-face, and she gave a hairpin? ”

Jia Min grabbed Shi Yuan sharply, she has always been a good person, but because her life has been smooth, there has never been anything worth worrying about. But if something happens, Miss Yan, who grew up in the Guogong Mansion, and the wife of the second-class adult, how can she really have sex with you.

Shi Yuan hesitated and refused to say, so Jia Min snorted coldly, "That's okay to say, if you see the official, you will go down a few boards, and you will have to say it if you want to or not." ”

"It's okay if you don't say it, there is no mark on this hairpin." Jia Min's hand almost pointed to Mrs. Shi's face, and Mrs. Shi took a look at it and found the word "qin" under the lotus.

frowned and said: "What's this, it's not surprising that some stores like to print their own store marks on it." ”

There was an exclamation from the crowd, "Sister Qin's jewelry, aren't they all engraved with a piano character?" After speaking, he seemed to realize that he had lost his words, and quickly covered his eyes with a handkerchief, so frightened that he didn't dare to say another word.

Jia Qinfu, who was holding the bracelet, bowed, although he did not speak, but this attitude also showed acquiescence.

Shi Yuan opened his mouth at this time, "Impossible, how can it be you, it's not you, it's not you." ”

"You gave it away to others, you won't even see your face." Jia Min spoke sarcastically.

"Through the window, but, it can't be wrong, how could it be her." The messenger clearly told her that she was this one, and she would not be wrong.

"The third room in the West Wing, yes or no?" Daiyu suddenly spoke, Shi Yuan nodded again and again, and his eyes were full of hope.

"That's right, our young lady went to the East Wing to change her clothes, and I waited in front of her, and I never left anyone. Miss Qin and Miss Mei went to the West Chamber, Miss Qin came back the latest, and a hairpin was missing from her bun, and the slave thought she had put it away, so she didn't say anything. Xingguo saw that the fire was ready and stood up.

"The girl in the yard of the third lady about this, just pull one and ask, they all know it." Xingguo was still unfinished, and added another sentence.

Jia Qin's body was shaky, and he looked at Shi Yuan with tears in his eyes, "It was the son himself who said that it was love at first sight, and the love was deeply rooted, so he took the ancestral bracelet as a token, and he will go to our house tomorrow to propose marriage." This hairpin is a set with the bracelet in my hand, and both have a piano character as an inscription. It was ordered for me by my mother before she passed away. ”

Jia Min covered his mouth and smiled, "Alas, the relationship is that the two are happy, anyway, they are two families with the same family background, and I will go with the old lady to report the good news, this is a happy event." The word happy event was bitten very hard, and the eyes that looked at Mrs. Shi were full of banter.

"Let's go." When Mrs. Shi said this, she almost didn't bite her tongue off.

Shi Yuan's face was pale, and he couldn't help but look at Daiyu, only to see her smiling very happily. Probably feeling his gaze, he turned his head and looked at him, and his eyes were like quenched ice, and he was chilled when he saw it.

"The people in Shi Guogong's Mansion have bullied the door, the second sister-in-law doesn't care about this matter, I also have to take care of it, who called me my surname Jia. I'll add five hundred taels to this girl's dowry, and my sister-in-law will look at it. Jia Min threw this sentence at the Wang family and left with his daughter and the three Jia women.

After sending the three Jia daughters home, Jia Min locked herself in the house as soon as she returned to the house, and she didn't even see her daughter. Daiyu sighed slightly and took the porridge in.

"Mother, in fact, it's okay like this, instead of giving them the opportunity to embarrass Jingyu and his father in the future, it's better to make a break at once." This matter can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, the Wang family helps outsiders calculate their sister-in-law, and in the future, she will go to heaven, and no one dares to say that she is wrong if Jia Min no longer helps her at all.

"Jingyu and your father will not be embarrassed, they are two men, it's a big deal to tear their faces, who is afraid of who can't. She knows that her daughter's family is the most important face, and she picks on you, just to bet that we don't dare to speak out, so we can only suffer dumb losses. I must not be nice to her in this matter, and if I don't bring Jia Qin into their Shiguo Mansion, I will have her surname. ”

Jia Min went back to her parents' house the next day, and she didn't bring anyone, so she directly auctioned five hundred taels, and said in front of the old lady and the second brother that it was a dowry for Jia Qin's girl to marry into the Shi family. Jia Mu vaguely knew that something happened yesterday, but she didn't know that it had come to this point.

"The sister-in-law laughed, they all said that the runner was a concubine, and they privately gave and accepted concubines, how could they be wives." Wang's skin is not smiling, this matter still needs her to mediate, Mrs. Shi came early in the morning to send a message, at most as a concubine, it is impossible to be a wife.

"The second sister-in-law's words are ridiculous, the daughter of the Jia family was carried to a relative's house as a concubine, my own daughter's surname Lin Du felt ashamed, but there are a few unmarried young ladies in Rongguo Mansion, spread it out, do you want to be a person. Although this matter is a matter for the Jia family and the Shi family, I can't allow a person with a foreign surname to say more, but I have to ask my sister-in-law to please my sister-in-law, and say more. The young master of the Shi family went out to sit with an ancestral token, saying that they were not premeditated, and only a kind person like his sister-in-law would believe it. I, who spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, have a lot to think about. ”

"Who said that you are a foreigner, you are the meat that fell from my stomach, the concubine of the Guogong Mansion, no more expensive than anyone else. Whoever dares to show you a look in the family can't tolerate you, so he will beat you out with a stick. I can't tolerate my daughter before I die, and when I die, won't I be bullied? "Mother Jia's words are extremely unreasonable, just like an eccentric and boundless old woman, but whoever dares to say a word, even Jia Zheng can only kneel down and ask for guilt.

Jia Min's heart was sour, she knew that her mother must have understood that this matter was related to her, but it was not easy to say that the Wang family was calculating her sister-in-law. Because of this, isn't it embarrassing for Baoyu to become something. can only hide this section, and then support her daughter for no reason, anyway, the sister-in-law is embarrassed by her sister-in-law, and everyone says the past.

"But after all, this is the matter of the historians, if they ......" the Wang family asked for guilt, but they still insisted on being a concubine and refused to let go. Anyway, she doesn't have a biological daughter to marry, so she is not afraid.

"Since my sister-in-law has determined that the daughter of the Jia family can be a concubine, what else do I have to say. But the clansmen, sister-in-law will do her best to appease her. No one expected that Jia Min was obviously biting tightly, so he suddenly gave up, took a deep look at Wang, and said that he didn't care.

Before Jia Min left, someone reported to the hall, "In the clan, several uncles in the clan came over and said that they were not the masters of the clan, and Jia Qin crashed into the door of Rongguo Mansion." ”

Forcing the clansmen to death, this matter can be big or small, even if it is calculated according to the smallest consequences, with this bad deed. If the second room wants to inherit the title, it is almost impossible to spend the moon in the mirror.

Wang's face turned pale, obviously understanding the consequences. What's the use of appeasing the Shi family, a fire broke out in the backyard, and her thoughts became in vain.

"Invite a few uncles to come in, Zheng'er, tell them well, if the Shi family refuses to marry Qin'er, come to me in person." The old lady spoke, Jia Zheng hurried to pick up people, no matter how unwilling the Wang family was, he could only come down.

No matter how Mrs. Shi made trouble at home, she never escaped the Shi family and sent the official media to Jiafu to propose marriage. With Jia Min's makeup, the Wang family also had to add five hundred taels, and his heart and liver were eager to drip blood.

Before getting married, Jia Qin came to Lin's house to thank Jia Min, and Jia Min took a wooden box out, "Speaking of which, the most aggrieved person in this matter is you, the hairpin in it is my makeup for you, and there are five hundred taels under it, you take it with you, don't sue anyone." It's better to have a little money to defend yourself. ”

"Auntie, what did you say, if it weren't for the calculations of the historians, how could I have a chance, but a little stigma, compared to life, is nothing. I'm not aggrieved at all, really. Jia Qin is very open-minded, she knows what she wants, she seeks benevolence, the so-called stigma, in exchange for the stability of her life, in exchange for her stepmother to treat her brother well, this deal is very cost-effective.

Otherwise, what if she has a good name, can she still eat if she has a good name?

Seeing that she was determined, the guilt in Jia Min's heart slowed down a lot, and Daiyu knew that after she finished talking to her mother, she also gave a set of hair noodles as makeup.

"You are the daughter of the Jia family, and this family affair was promoted by the second lady, you should be grateful, even in the future, don't break off contacts."

"This is natural, she is the head of the house in Jiafu, so I naturally want to be closer to her." Jia Qin understood as soon as he heard it, don't think that the Shi family can't raise his head with a stigma. Not only did he have to raise his head and be a man, but he also generously pulled the Wang family as a shield.

The two of you did this together, and now you want to plant it on someone else's head, and never think about it again. So Jia Qinda doesn't have to be afraid of her, if she doesn't stand up, she will wait to be drunk and eaten by Mrs. Shi.

The two looked at each other and smiled, Jia Qin went out with the box, and rolled the silver ticket in a wooden hairpin that night, no one expected that this hairpin would save her life in the end.

Daiyu was greatly relieved to see that the two families had ceremonies in the shortest possible time and set a wedding date. Soon received a post from Ulan Gege and asked her to go out to enjoy the flowers.

"I never thought there was such a place in Jinling." Peony garden, the peony in the middle is very warm and unrestrained, the house is similar to the tulou of Fujian, and the peony is surrounded in the middle. The private room in the second room is equipped with glass windows, and the scenery below can be seen clearly, and it is very interesting to talk and eat without delay.

Daiyu was amazed, it wasn't Ulan who led the way, and she would never be able to find it herself.

"Of course, Jinling has everything." If I hadn't followed you out, there would have been a big brother arrangement all the way, and I didn't know there was such a place, Ulan was secretly proud, and applauded his wisdom again.

Ulan's hand was held by Daiyu and he jumped upstairs. Just behind them, a man's angry scolding sounded, "It's not that the master doesn't have no money, why don't you let me in." ”

"I'm sorry for this master, the peony garden only accepts reservations, and if you don't make a reservation, you can't enter, otherwise, you can book one now." The man's voice was steady and respectful, and he bowed with his fists and was full of courtesy.

Xingguo looked back, and suddenly a pair of apricot eyes stood upside down, "Why is this guy haunted, didn't he come with us." ”

Daiyu stopped when she heard this, and looked back to see Shi Yuan standing in place at a loss. Because of avoiding Daiyu's gaze, he even lowered his head.

"People who have nothing to do with us, they don't care." Daiyu didn't plan to ask him if he came with him, or if he met him by accident. Anyway, this person has nothing to do with him.

The sound of this sentence is not big or small, but it is enough for Shi Yuan to hear. He was shocked, and chased after Daiyu's back in disbelief, but he waited until her back disappeared, and he didn't wait for her to look back.

"Big brother." Ulan cried out as he jumped into the private room.

Daiyu's face was not the same as before, and she blushed when she heard his name. just glanced at him slightly, and then set his eyes on the peony in the garden and didn't look at him.

"Recently, the diorama has come with a carload of new things from overseas, if you have time, I will accompany you to pick it up." Hongyun poured tea for her, ordered a few more signature dishes from the peony garden, and gave Wulan a look.

Ulan resigned himself to his fate, "I'll go for a walk in the garden, it's not fun to see it like this." With that, he trotted downstairs.

"Shi Yuan's matter, I'm angry." Hongyun pushed the snack plate in front of her and whispered.

"How do you know that the eldest master of the Shi family is because of ......" Daiyu suddenly realized that Mrs. Shi had been in a tug of war with Mrs. Wang for a few days because of this matter of taking a concubine or marrying a wife, which can be said to have torn her face. Later, I didn't know what was going on with Master Shi, so he suddenly lost his temper, and Mrs. Shi settled the matter neatly.

"I didn't know how to help you, so I told Uncle Huang." Hongyun's eyes were lowered, and he was not very comfortable in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that there was a fourth emperor, he would be almost helpless about this kind of thing.

"What's the matter, how can you trouble Prince Yong." After Daiyu finished speaking, Hongyun's eyes flashed, with a hint of astonishment, and then smiled bitterly, "Yes." ”

The atmosphere was condensed, and Daiyu realized that she seemed to be a little aggressive, and awkwardly pulled the broken hair on her forehead, "I just don't want you to ask for someone for me, what is the identity of Prince Yong, how can you trouble him for such a trivial matter." I can't solve it myself, and my father, if my father can't solve it, even if you don't want to help, I will go to you. ”

"How could I not help, as long as it is your family's business, no matter what I am asked to do, I will do it." The corners of Hongyun's lips flew, and there was a smile in his eyes, and the low-pressure atmosphere just now had already been shattered by his smile.

"However, it's not bothering him, the Shi family won't be able to jump for long."

Daiyu was taken aback, what does it mean that it won't take long, it is difficult for a historian to fall. Hongyun only gave her an innocent smile back, and Daiyu pursed her mouth. It's best not to ask about this kind of thing.

"You often go to Jiafu with Mrs. Lin, is the relationship between cousins particularly good?" Hongyun seemed to be unintentional chit-chatter.

"It's okay, the second sister is about to get married, and she didn't like to play with us before. The third sister followed the second grandmother Lian and was very busy. The fourth sister and Baoyu and the Xue family sister are together every day, and their relationship is very good. I went, just a guest, just talking. Daiyu doesn't think she has a good relationship with them, there is a Baoyu sandwiched in it, and this relationship can't be good.

"The second master of Jiafu is a celebrity, and he is very good at hearing that he was born with a jade. He is also quite elegant, which is very different from ordinary people. Hongyun narrowed his eyes, he didn't see anything else, only that the kid had a good look.

"You also believe this kind of thing, your own family coaxes the old lady to play." Daiyu sneered, she had never believed in the nonsense of Yuyu. I always felt that Mrs. Wang deliberately made up this in order to increase Baoyu's bargaining chips in front of the old lady.

In fact, she also got her wish, because Yuyu's words made Baoyu different from others since she was a child, and the old lady had to look up to her. 's own grandson, who has seen a lot, doesn't it just love it more and more, and finally hugged it to his side and became Mrs. Wang's talisman. Otherwise, even if Mrs. Xing is a step-family, but she is the daughter-in-law of the long house, she may not have the opportunity to be a housekeeper.
