46. Marriage

Daiyu only learned so much after Jia Qin came to the door, and learned that the couple had moved away from their parents and lived in the backyard of the shop, taking care of the business wholeheartedly, which could be regarded as a relief for her.

"But I'm going to hurt you." Thinking of the beginning, Jia Qin was willing to replace her because she could marry a good family. But now, reduced to a civilian, this hard work is in vain.

"No, I'm not bitter at all, but I feel good and happy, I've never been so happy in my life." Jia Qin knew that although this younger sister who was pampered in the Lin Mansion was smart, she was afraid that she would never be able to understand her situation.

If she hadn't married Shi Yuan, although her stepmother wouldn't dare to send her as a concubine, it would be very likely that she would be used as a house filler for some silver, or that she would marry someone who was vulgar and deliberately didn't make her feel better.

At least Shi Yuan is dignified and has the best education, even if he falls, he is a head better than the people in the market. What's more, now that he has changed his arrogance, he is willing to lower his head and learn to do business, which is already an unexpected joy.

"It's better for you to be happy than anything else, and if you lack something, just ask. Don't dare to say anything else, if it's silver, I'll ......" Jia Qin hurriedly stopped and said again and again: "In this way, I don't dare to come again, I definitely didn't come to borrow money from my sister." ”

babbled and said some things, to the effect that he wanted to make friends with her, and it would be great to let her come in and say a few words during the New Year's holidays.

"What's so hard about this, if you are free, just come and speak." Daiyu saw that she knew the courtesy, and casually agreed.

When Jia Qin came, she also brought a gift, which was not valuable, it was an interstitial screen embroidered by herself, which was also rare. Daiyu returned the pastries made in her own kitchen and a new horse.

As soon as Jia Qin left, Agarwood frowned, "Miss, there is a sentence that the maid doesn't know whether to say or not." ”

"Come back with me, if I don't let you say it, won't you say it?" Daiyu glanced at her.

Agarwood smiled and said: "That maid must also be saying, Miss Qin is pulling up the tiger skin to make a big banner, don't be deceived by her." ”

To put it bluntly, it's not hard to guess her mind. To open a shop outside and do business, all three religions and nine streams have to deal with each other. If there is no personal support behind you, in the corner of Jinling, any person can kill you.

If Jia Qin can enter and exit the gate of the Lin family at any time, as a friend of Miss Lin's boudoir, she can bluff many people outside.

"It can save them a lot of trouble, so you should think about it, miss." Agarwood is a servant, so she naturally understands such a mentality earlier.

It turned out that this was the case, Daiyu smiled, and said nonchalantly: "This is nothing, the trouble that can be saved by the identity of a girlfriend in the boudoir is estimated to be a trivial matter, and it doesn't hurt to help her block the ruffian." It's really a big deal, and it's all that needs to be dredged, so we just ignore it. ”

"If you ignore it when the time comes, won't it be a loss of face for you." Agarwood still felt that something was wrong, and muttered a few words in a low voice.

Daiyu smiled, what is the shame of this. She has never been a person who looks at the weight of face, but soon the conversation between Agarwood and Daiyu was adjusted one by one.

Jia Min arranged a family affair for Agarwood, who should have married three years ago, but her fiancΓ© died, and some ugly rumors spread during the period. Jia Min kept her for three more years and found a suitable one again.

"Agarwood is a good one, and because I have been delayed in serving you, I want to marry her off now. After two years, I gave birth to a child, and then I was transferred back to you as a housekeeper's daughter-in-law. Jia Min and her daughter discussed it carefully.

Daiyu just listened, but didn't speak, because it was clear that this was arranged by Jia Min for her to marry in the future.

"I listen to my mother."

Agarwood got the letter and came back, embarrassed to see people, Daiyu joked that she added makeup to her before walking out of her house. Four silk forgings, two hundred taels of silver, plus a set of silver heads, Daiyu's makeup made Agarwood's eyes red all of a sudden.

"It's too heavy."

"No matter how heavy it is, it can't compare to you serving me for so many years, live a good life, and after a few years, if you want, return to me."

"The slave is willing, willing."

"Then let's talk about it." Daiyu looked at her crying like a tearful person, and wanted to amuse her, but she couldn't say it.

Daiyu is smooth sailing here, but the Ninth Master's Mansion has lost his wife and soldiers. An adult son was lying on the bed like a brown child, with bones broken in several places and a scratched face.

The imperial doctor said that he was allowed to lie down for at least half a year before he could get up. It's good, I'm afraid that walking is slightly worse than normal people, in short, this son's future is gone.

The court can tolerate anything, but the physically defective can't, even today's biological son, the fifth master above the ninth master, because of his leg disease, is like an invisible person. What's more, there is a grandson, the emperor does not lack grandchildren at all.

The fire in the ninth master's heart has been extinguished without waiting for it to come out. The Wei family that led the way was wiped out, the Shi family who responded positively cut the knight, and the Jia family, who secretly responded, paid a daughter to replace the real golden branches and jade leaves. So this qiΔ“ is terrifying.

At this time, the eighth and ninth masters, including the tenth and fourteenth masters below, gathered together, and their faces were gloomy and could drip water.

The eighth master was even more pale, "After a few years of camping, Huang Ama only moved his little finger, and every qiΔ“ became a flower in the water, and the moon in the mirror." It's not that the heavens are going to kill me, it's the emperor who wants to kill me. ”

"Starling, don't say that, there are only a few people who can get it, except for starling, who is not ruthless. Do they have a way for our brothers to live? If Huang Ama wants to protect these sons, he should also consider the reputation outside, which one can compare to the starling. "The tenth master hates and resents, but like everyone else, he is helpless against the emperor.

"The power of heaven is unpredictable, let's lie dormant for the time being." No matter how reluctant the eighth master is, he also knows that this is the best choice now. Although the emperor didn't say anything, it was neither early nor late, and at this time, the eighth master always felt that the emperor knew their plan.

Thinking of the emperor's eyes when he looked at him, he felt a chill down his spine, and there was an urge to hide. But the more this is the case, the greater the temptation of this position for him, as long as he sits on it, his humble background can be washed cleanly. Presumably, if E-Niang knows underground, she must be very pleased.

"I think we are only working hard here in Wenchen, is it a bit of putting the cart before the horse. Under the nose of Huang Ama, it is too difficult to please. The Fourteenth Master felt that there was something wrong with their direction, and pointed out.

"Huang Ama is the Emperor of the Ages, what can escape his eyes. Instead of tossing around here in Jinling and annoying him, it is better to go outside and do some merits, real merits, presumably, Huang Ama can always see it in his eyes. ”

"The fourteenth brother wants to ......" The eighth master was a little clear and very moved, they were the princes and phoenixes, and a few of them had suffered like this, and the fourteenth brother did this, obviously to help him raise his status.

"Yes, that's what my brother thinks, instead of sitting in the troubled city, it's better to work hard. I'll look for opportunities, and I'll look for a few brothers to help. "Fourteen and one gave up, and the rest of the people gave up.

The tenth master and the fourteenth master left together, only the eighth master and the ninth master were left, and the ninth master's eyes were as sharp as eagles staring at the direction in which they disappeared, and he didn't look at the eighth master, as if he was talking to himself, "Is it really for the starling?" ”

"He said, and I believed." The eighth master didn't look at the ninth master, just stared at the teacup in his hand, watching the tea leaves rise and fall in it, how could life not be so ups and downs. He couldn't miss any chance to float, even if it was a risk, he had to give it a try.

"Starling, it's not me who said, you also have to persuade the eighth sister-in-law, if you don't have a son-in-law, you can carry a few side Fujin who are not bad, and if you give birth to a son, it is no worse than your son-in-law. The way your house is now, I'm afraid Huang Ama doesn't like it. "The emperor has always been unconcerned about women, and he pays attention to the rain and dew, and his sons are born one after another. It's really good for his son, Fu Jin and side Fu Jin all point to the past one by one, and sometimes they add a few people to serve them, but I'm afraid that my son will not have a good time.

If the emperor hates his son the most, he won't mention the abolished prince, and the first thing I'm afraid is that he can't tolerate women's jealousy. Bafujin made it clear that the carriage and horses were jealous, and they praised the starling brother affectionately and righteously. But in the eyes of the emperor, this is the expression of incompetence. Even his own Fujin can't control it, and he can control anyone.

"It's not easy for your eighth sister-in-law, I really don't want to wronged her." The eighth master had an expression on his face that he didn't want to mention, no matter how good the relationship between the ninth master and him was, he could only point to it.

"Is that all there is to the Lin family?" Jiu Ye thought of Hongxiang of his own family, and felt angry. What kind of filial piety touches the sky, this is playing him as a fool, who doesn't know that Hongxiang was calculated by them.

"My nephew has suffered such a big loss, how can I forget it and let the Zhu family go to propose marriage." The eighth master groaned slightly, and then came up with an idea.

"The Zhu family? That's not ......" The Ninth Master was horrified.

"Didn't the fourth brother always support the abolished prince before? Only Zhu Chen of the Zhu family has been affected, and the other one is not alive and well. Isn't it normal to lose the backer of the abolished prince, and want to rely on the fourth brother? The eighth master straightened his waist, as long as he didn't talk about family affairs, he was calm again.

"Okay, starling, that's a great idea. Let the Zhu family come forward to disgust and disgust Lin Ruhai, and let Huang Ama see that the original team of the abolished prince is now falling to the fourth brother, will Huang Ama compare the fourth brother with the abolished prince in his heart. High, really high. "The ninth master clapped his hands, this matter is very wonderful.

As for whether Zhu You will agree, it is not within the scope of Jiu Ye's consideration at all. Does Zhu You dare to disagree? Their Zhu family is no longer the Zhu family when the crown prince was in power.

Jia Min didn't know that her baby daughter was being calculated again, and she received a message from Jia's mother asking her to go back.

Mother Jia has been very annoyed recently, and Aunt Xue has complained in front of Mrs. Wang several times, saying that Baochai is sixteen, and if she doesn't settle down, how can she, a mother, be worthy of the dead Master Xue and so on. It is nothing more than forcing Jia Fu to loosen his mouth and settle the family affairs of the two families that Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue have discussed in private.

Jia Zheng is dispensable, anyway, the Xue family is rich, and he also thinks that it is very good for his son to find a daughter-in-law with a good dowry. As for how satisfied he is, he doesn't have it, he also wants better, but he doesn't have the ability to find it, so he is naturally happy to see it.

Jia's mother is a hundred dissatisfied, Baoyu is his most distressed grandson, and in her heart, she is worthy of being a character. How can a businessman like the Xue family be worthy of his grandson. Except for the rich dowry, it is really useless. There is no powerful Yue family, and after a hundred years, what else will Baoyu have, it hurts to think about it.

Therefore, she still wants to work hard and try her daughter's attitude.

"I'm so old, I've been glorious and rich all my life, I haven't seen anything good, this life is enough. The only wish is to watch my grandson's generation get married and start a business, Yuanchun I am not worried, Tanchun is already a royal character, she has her own blessings, and Yingchun is also married. For the rest, Xichun has her own father to arrange, only Baoyu and Daiyu let me rest assured. ”

Jia Min understood her mother's thoughts, seeing that she had white hair, she was still worried about her grandchildren, and her heart was as soft as cotton, and she was about to collapse when she poked it.

But he had to say, "I think the second sister-in-law is a shrewd and capable person, and my brother has an errand on him, how can Baoyu's marriage be bad." As for Daiyu, the master has already given me an explanation, let me leave it alone, he has his own arrangements. ”

The daughter is her own, but the son-in-law is not, not to mention that Lin Ruhai is now a second-class member, so it is not something that Jia's mother can change with a word. Jia's mother knew that there was no way, her hand clutched her daughter's sleeve tightly, and her eyes rippled.

Jia Min couldn't help but shed tears, "Mother, my daughter is not filial, you can blame me, just don't be angry with your body." ”

As soon as Jia Min left, Jia's mother beckoned Mrs. Wang in, and she had already wiped her face, so that people could not see the traces of crying.

Mrs. Wang knew that Mother Jia had made a decision, and stood with her hands lowered her eyebrows, Xindao Baoyu is already fifteen years old, and you don't often go out and walk around at this age, in addition to knowing a Daiyu, who else can you know, if you don't rely on it, you have to rely on it.

Daiyu She is not worried, she may have been worried before, but after the matter of the Shi family, Jia Min made it clear that the carriage and horses did not want to see her. With her arrogant temperament, how could she still let her daughter marry into Jiafu.

"Have you thought about it?"

"Yes, my daughter-in-law thinks that Baochai's girl is really attractive."

"Marriage is a good marriage, Baochai is a good girl, I know it, but this is far from enough. Today, the Holy One seems to be lenient, but he does not like to see these founding lords, who feel that we have enjoyed the blessings long enough that he does not want to let us enjoy them any longer. Otherwise, why do you hold on to your eldest brother's position as the son of the world, not because the eldest brother's own character is dirty, even if it is a different person, it is the same. In the face of the general trend, these are small sections. I'm just afraid that behind me, Baoyu doesn't have a strong Yue family to support, and if there is anything, silver is the most unreliable. ”

It was the first time that Jia Mu said so many words to Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang's eyes flashed, and she was submissive on the surface, but she didn't think so in her heart. This time such a big thing, it's not just a sentence from the lady in the palace.

Seeing the disapproval in her daughter-in-law's eyes, Jia's mother's heart was cold, and she waved her hand helplessly, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, I don't care, your own son, do whatever you want." ”

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed when she got the right words. When I turned around, I started the dowry lively, and half of what the old lady said did not enter my ears.

Jia Min also went to the ceremony because of the marriage, and Jia's mother aged ten years overnight, looking at the old woman who really looked like a wind candle in her last years, which made Jia Min cry again.

"You only promise me one thing." Mother Jia still couldn't rest assured, "Anyway, Baoyu is your nephew, in case something happens, you have to keep him safe." ”

"Mother...... Daughter, promise you. Jia Min felt that this was really the most difficult conversation in her life.

Baoyu and Baochai got married, if anyone is happier than Mrs. Wang, it must be Daiyu. It's like letting go of a boulder in my heart, and even breathing becomes smoother.

She went to put on makeup for Bao Chai herself, a plum hairpin studded with rubies, and the rubies on top were specially cut gems from the diorama shop.

Even Xue Baochai was shocked when he saw it, "My sister actually got this thing, my mother went several times, and I couldn't get together a few sets of heads." My sister really should keep it for herself, this thing is too rare. "The rubies are refracted by the sunlight and flow with a dazzling light that is almost impossible to look at. This kind of elegance, which woman doesn't like it.

"It's just a coincidence, I'm still young, and there will be more opportunities in the future, so my sister must not refuse." Daiyu was just polite, but she didn't know whether she was saying it intentionally, and she listened to it intentionally. Baochai was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled, but she couldn't hide a trace of sadness in her eyes. But she is open-minded by nature, and quickly put this little bit of affection aside and concentrate on talking to her.

"Sister Baochai wants to become Bao's second grandmother, so she really doesn't have to leave now." Xichun is very happy, compared to others, she would prefer Baochai to be Baochai's second grandmother. As he spoke, he unintentionally glanced at Daiyu.

"Sister Xiangyun also wants to come, but she said that she won't come to dislike people if she is unlucky, let me bring this bracelet to you." The bracelet that Xichun took out had a good head, but Baochai frowned.

"This is what Sister Xiangyun has with her, let her keep a thought." Baochai knew that when Shi Xiangyun was brought into Jiafu, there was only this bracelet left by her mother all over her body.

"That's what I said, but she insisted that I send it, and I couldn't help it." Xichun pouted slightly, and stuffed the bracelet into Baochai's hand, "If you want to return it, I won't pay it back." ”

Daiyu took advantage of the gap between their words to say goodbye, thinking in her heart, why did Shi Xiangyun give such an important thing to Baochai.

She subconsciously asked Agarwood, only to think that Agarwood had gone back to get married, followed by apricot fruit and white dew. As soon as she turned around, Xingguo's mouth was stuffed with sugar, like a squirrel stealing food, her cheeks were full, but she didn't expect Miss to turn around at this time, and she hiccuped.

"Alright, eat slowly." Daiyu is angry and funny, but her heart is cold, there is still a lack of people in her house. Mama Wang is old and rarely cares about her house anymore. As soon as the agarwood left, the apricot fruit and white dew were lifted.

There is definitely no problem with their loyalty, but after all, they are young, and there used to be an agarwood in front of them, and Xingguo is used to listening to people's commands. There was no one to command at this time, and she didn't fit in.

"Is Miss wondering about the bracelet?" Bai Lu took the initiative to speak.

"Hey, how do you know?" Daiyu really underestimated her maid, this Bai Lu used to be a gourd with a sawed mouth, honestly taking care of things in the house, and never talking much. It's the first time I've taken the initiative to speak in front of her, especially outside.

The young lady frowned when she looked at the bracelet, and the slave could see it. The slave and maid boldly spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and probably no one wants to be a widow for a lifetime. After Bai Lu finished speaking, she lowered her head and stopped talking.

Daiyu glanced at her appreciatively, "That's right." ”

Shi Xiangyun does have a reason to stammer with Baochai, for the sake of a better life, and for Jia's mother to stay in Jiafu a hundred years later, Mrs. Xing can't count on it, counting on Baochai is indeed a road. But just like this, it's not enough for her to spend such a big amount of money.

Everyone knew what the bracelet meant to her, but she said she took it and took it. It looks very much like Toucheng, the reason for Baochai's surrender, Baoyu can take a concubine.

Yes, yes, if a widow remarries, Jia Fu will not hesitate to pay a dowry, but what kind of family can she marry into as a widow. The affairs of the Wei family, the affairs of the Shi family, isn't she cold? I'm afraid that in her eyes, only Jia Fu can make her feel at ease.

Then, being Baoyu's concubine is the best choice. Baochai is generous, Baoyu is her cousin, they have grown up together since childhood, and they have affection for each other.

Presumably Baochai also saw it, but I don't know how she will solve it.

"Miss." Xingguo finally swallowed all the sugar, and looked at Daiyu pitifully, with tears in her eyes.

"Okay, I didn't say anything about you, so you can't do it in the future." Daiyu really didn't think anything of it, but she had two pieces of candy.

"Oh." Xingguo lowered her head and glared at Bai Lu fiercely, Agarwood just left and came out, what a traitor.

Jia Min listened to the lawsuit of the bracelet, but just covered her lips and smiled, "Baochai doesn't have to be embarrassed at all, Mrs. Wang will definitely not allow it." ”

Seeing that her daughter's eyes were slightly raised, she pointed at her with a smile, "She was picked up from the Wei family, and the Jia family raised her, and it has nothing to do with others." If Baoyu accepts her as a concubine, although the concubine's relatives are not relatives, the Shi family is different from others. ”

Needless to say, Daiyu also understands, what about such a big family as the Shi family, if Shi Xiangyun gives Baoyu as a concubine, are you afraid that the Shi family will not find a chance to come to the door?

"Besides, Shi Xiangyun thinks it's love, will Baochai think it's love?" When sisters and sisters are in love, but when they serve a husband together, love becomes a poison that pierces the intestines, how can Baochai not be afraid. Jia Min pointed it out for her daughter one by one, and said: "A wife is a wife, a concubine is a concubine, and only when wives and concubines are clear can the family not be chaotic." The most taboo wife and concubine are unknown, what cousin is a concubine, and a down-and-out relative is a concubine, it is absolutely undesirable, that is the source of chaos. ”

"Hey, speaking of which." Daiyu suddenly realized that something was wrong, her father's concubine.

"Your father, that still has that mind." Jia Min knew that her daughter was remembering, so she covered her lips and chuckled, brushing it off. At the beginning, Mo Xiang made trouble, and Lin Ruhai, who was frightened, was ruthlessly killed. The remaining three concubines have been thrown in the small courtyard, which is like house arrest. Of the three concubines, two were raised by slaves and maids, and one was a little girl, and none of them dared to make trouble.

If you try to change it to someone who is related to your family, Daiyu will understand how powerful it is when she thinks about it.
