61. You do it best
"What, that's what you promise?" Although Daiyu had been worried that Wen Ruyu would miss this family affair, there was an echo on the same day, which greatly surprised her expectations.
"Yes, our young grandmother asked the slave maid to kowtow to the young lady, she said that she should have come in person, but it was really ......" Wen Ruyan's close-fitting big girl, Daiyu is also very familiar, she kowtowed three times upright, and when she raised her eyes, half of the whites of her eyes were red, all bloodshot.
"I know that your young grandmother has no choice, and she runs back twice in three days for the sake of her mother's affairs, and the mother-in-law of any family is afraid that she will have opinions. I have two medicinal recipes here, so that your young grandmother will go to please her mother-in-law tomorrow. While laughing, he handed over the recipe to Bai Lu.
As soon as the gentle maid left, Daiyu looked at her back thoughtfully. In the morning, the strange feeling of seeing Wen Ruyan turned out again, she was like this, and the maid was also like this, it seemed that she was a little afraid to look at herself, and her face was empty.
The question is, what can Wen Ruyan do that is not good for herself? She couldn't imagine it.
Lin Daiyu shook her head and stood up, "Xingguo, send a little girl to ask to see if the master has come back." ”
"Master, I just arrived in the upper room at this time." Xingguo replied.
Lin Daiyu changed her clothes and went over, she had to quickly reply to her father about this matter and let Li Wei go to propose marriage.
Lin Ruhai had already changed into homely clothes, and was being counted down by Jia Min, "It's not good in the yamen, what's wrong with me asking people to send something, just a little food, who will pick you for this matter." ”
"Prince Yong likes light, up and down, everyone eats light, it's just a meal, nothing matters, you have to send it. If you want me to say, what are you doing with all this effort? Lin Ruhai said yes, strange is strange, but the tone is only joyful.
Jia Min said angrily: "I don't have to raise many people at home, but I don't even have an errand at a critical time." The master might as well tell this to the cold housekeeper, he will definitely ask the master for a handful of snot and tears. ”
"There's no need to send it twice a day." Lin Ruhai smiled, complaining and proud.
"The snack in the afternoon is none of my business, it was given by the master's precious daughter." Jia Min pressed him with a smile, "Drink a bowl of soup first, and when Daiyu comes over, we will start eating." ”
"Father, mother." Daiyu opened the curtain and came in, accompanied her father to finish the meal, and told her father that the Wen family had agreed.
"Hmph, it's good that their family isn't confused to that extent." Lin Ruhai snorted coldly and said a little unpleasantly.
"Master, what's wrong with the Wen family." Jia Min knew that her daughter had courted her father, and helped Wen Ruyu find a candidate. She also took pity on Grandma Wensan, so she acquiesced. Listening to the master's meaning at this time, it seems that there is something else inside.
"It's nothing, just if they answer, I asked Li Wei to go to the Wen family to propose marriage and set the date as soon as possible." Lin Ruhai waved his hand, lowered his head and drank the soup, Jia Min and Daiyu glanced at each other, and knew that something was wrong.
But since my father didn't say it, it means that this matter is not so important. The mother and daughter didn't ask, and when the dish was served, Daiyu took a osmanthus nectar/juice roasted short rib into her father's bowl, "I figured out the recipe myself, Daddy tasted it." ”
In the mouth, the light and sweet smell of osmanthus is evenly mixed with the thick meat/juice, poured on the crispy pork ribs, and the whole mouth is filled with a lingering fragrance after one bite.
"Our Daiyu is really capable, just think about it, it's better than what the imperial chef does." Lin Ruhai spared no effort to praise his daughter, which made Jia Min laugh and sneer at him.
"Is there a case like you? It's time for people to hear the joke. ”
The Lin family was happy, and the Wen family temporarily stopped, except for the aunt who cried and fainted in the Buddhist hall. There is another one, but the atmosphere is very different.
Wulan took something and went to the Shen family according to Eniang's instructions, and deliberately asked people not to notify him, but to surprise his cousin Shen Yilan. The subordinates followed her, and Ulan Gege went to the Shen family, which was always unimpeded, more casual than in his own home.
As soon as she walked into the courtyard gate, she heard a "clang" sound, and a round-bellied blue and white porcelain vase flew out of the room with a "whoosh" sound, landed at her feet, and smashed her body to pieces.
Ulan Gege's maid protected the young lady behind her, but she was still hit by the flying debris, and she screamed out in pain. When the people in the house heard the movement, they hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked out. Shen Yilan's voice came out, "Who is so bold to make noise outside, drag me ......"
"Slave maid, please Ulan Gegan." Shen Yilan's maidservant sang loudly, causing the sound in the room to stop abruptly. Then he came out, with a smile on his face that had not yet disappeared, and he couldn't say the weird awkwardness.
"Ulan is here, why didn't anyone come to report a message, how can I be on a bad errand."
"It's that I didn't let them say, oh, my mother got a few palace-made silk flowers, and asked me to send them to my cousin to play." Ulan handed her the box, and there was a string of turquoise beads under the delicate silk flower.
"E-niang said that my cousin is a big girl, and she has to go out often to sit as guests, and the quality of this string is good, and it is good to remove the head face or wear it as a string of beads." Wulan's relationship with the cousin of the Shen family is okay, but her cousin has been coaxing her as a child for so many years, so she feels that it is not interesting, and she has made friends outside, so she has even less contact with her. If it weren't for E-Niang's special order, she wouldn't have gone this way.
Shen Yilan couldn't keep it, and Ulan Gege complained to Eniang when she went back, "In the future, let others do the work of delivering things, I won't go again, if it weren't for Cui'er's fast protection, I'm afraid my face will be beaten into a sieve." ”
Cui'er's hand was in front of her, and she was hit several times by the shards, only to find that there was a long cut in her sleeve, which frightened her. If it is not protected in time, if this falls on Gege's face, where can the people they follow out still have their lives.
Fang Fujin hugged his daughter, "Your cousin is not happy, don't be like him." If you don't go, you won't go, our Ulan is also big, and the new coral beads of Eniang will give you beaded flowers. ”
"Well, for the sake of your sincerity, I'll reluctantly accept it." Ulan took the coral beads and looked left and right, and handed them back to Eniang with satisfaction, "Make a set of plum blossom hairpins, and then string a string of hand beads." ”
Fang Fujin touched her hair, "Okay, let's be beautiful." ”
"However, my cousin is so dignified, why is she not happy." Ulan tilted his head, and finally thought of what he had forgotten in the Shen family. At that time, I was so angry that I forgot to ask her.
Fang Fujin choked, covered his lips with a handkerchief and coughed twice, "No, it's nothing, the girl's family, it's okay to make a little effort occasionally." ”
"Oh." Ulan didn't say anything, but he was skeptical in his heart.
Li Wei came quickly, firstly, the chief was the media, and secondly, it was the official lady who said that he was making peace, and he was naturally a hundred willing. As for his colleague reminding him of Wen Ruwan, he was generous, "What is this, if it weren't for this, it wouldn't be my turn." ”
Lin Ruhai just likes his understanding, he has to look at himself before picking everything, if it weren't for these shortcomings, where would he be able to hit his head.
Grandma Wen San didn't have much hope for him, she just saw that he was an official and a yuan match, and she selfishly planned to give her more dowry. Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Wei came to the door, the whole family changed, and even the angry Master Wen San, although he still put on a stinky face, he couldn't say anything excessive under his courtesy.
Although the dowry is not fine enough, but the genuine solid gold and jade, can not find a live goose, with silver hit a pair of geese the size of a golden goose, the eyes with rubies inlay, vivid. He also found a lot of unusual things on the market, and it was really because no one took care of it for him.
"When I saw these things, I was relieved. You also glanced at it behind the screen, and you can see it very well. Although he is not a personable young man, he is more reliable in this way. "Grandma Wensan's illness is mostly a heart disease, and she was rushed by this happy event, and most of them were immediately cured. As soon as he saw Li Wei, he beckoned Wen Ruyu to talk.
"Thank you, Mother." Wen Ruyu has also seen it, and it is true that it cannot be compared with the people who have been married before, but it is much better than she imagined.
"I have consulted with your father, and since you have recorded it in my name, you should prepare a dowry according to your sister's practice." For the share of the public family, the concubine is a dowry of 1,000 taels of silver, and the concubine is 500 taels. If it is not enough, it will be subsidized by yourself. The concubine must have her mother's subsidy, and it will not be less than a dowry of three thousand taels of silver. Wen Ruyan posted it with her mother and eldest brother back then, and finally got a dowry of 5,000 taels of silver, which is very good.
This means that Wen Ruyu also pays a dowry of 1,000 taels of silver, which is already an extra 500 taels as expected. Unexpectedly, Grandma Wen San opened her mouth again, "The dowry gift given by the Li family will naturally be carried back as it is, in addition to the one thousand taels in the public school, I will add another one thousand taels to you, I will only fold this money into a silver ticket and you can carry it with you, and you don't need to write it in the dowry list." ”
How can there be a mother-in-law who pasted silver but didn't squeak, Wen Ruyu pinched the handkerchief and said in a trembling voice: "Mother, the eldest brother is released, and he is about to return to Beijing to report on his work, and he needs silver all the way, and Brother Bai is getting older, and he will marry a daughter-in-law in the future." ”
Grandma Wen San waved her hand indifferently, "A man is outside, and those who have the ability can't starve to death, and those who don't have the ability can't be thickened at home, and that's it." How can a woman's family be like, there is no silver in her hand, and she is in a hurry when she encounters something. And I heard that the in-laws of the Li family are going to Beijing to handle the marriage, although they are white, the silver is not bad, you are respectful in front of them, and you should have a ...... bearing."
Later, she was teaching Wen Ruyu how to get along with her in-laws and how to take care of the house, she knew that her mother was teaching her, and she didn't care about being shy, so she listened carefully.
When Wen Ruyu's marriage was settled, the date was requested, and the date was one month after Daiyu's wedding. Grandma Wen San also settled on a stone, and when Wen Ruyan came back to see her, she saw her mother lying comfortably on the couch, forking fruit pieces and eating them slowly.
“…… Why isn't the first person sincere, I'm this temper, if you take me seriously, I'll take you seriously as a girl. Later, Hongyun's matter is not only that I don't want her to marry into the royal family, but that I don't want to offend people for her. Is the Shen family kind? It's basically the daughter of the Shen family who wants to marry herself, and she is afraid that she will not be able to stand on her feet, so she deliberately chose our family Ruyu to disgust the Lin family. No matter what the final fight looks like, if she Shen Yilan enters Hongyun's door again, even if she is not taking advantage of the fisherman, she is also the object of being co-opted, and she will not lose anything. But what has become of our Wen family, with Lin Ruhai here, how much he protects his baby daughter, don't you know. What about your father's errands, what about your eldest brother's errands. To put it mildly, I just can't marry her for the rest of my life, and I must not let her ruin your eldest brother's future. ”
This thousand taels of silver should be regarded as a peace of mind, Grandma Wen San silently added in her heart. Fortunately, Li Wei appeared in time, not only saving Wen Ruyu, but also everyone.
"I'm afraid that my daughter is in my mother's heart, and she can't match her eldest brother." Wen Ruyan is half emotional, half coquettish.
Grandma Wen San looked at her daughter with a smile, "If your eldest brother has no future, what can you do in your in-law's house." In other things, I can tolerate you, and even let your eldest brother step aside, only your eldest brother's future, and anyone has to give way. ”
Wen Ruyan had never seen her mother like this, and she couldn't help but be stunned. On the contrary, Grandma Wen San still refused to stop, "You can remember, you can loosen and tighten it in small things, and you must not be confused in major matters." ”
"Yes, mother, daughter remember." Wen Ruyan responded, but she was unwilling, "Mrs. Lin definitely didn't tell Daiyu about this. ”
"Yes, don't say that Mrs. Lin didn't tell Daiyu, Mrs. Lin didn't hear it from the old lady back then. The same person doesn't have the same life, if you think about other people's homes, don't live in this life, anyway, you won't be happy to live and live. ”
Grandma Wen San thought to herself, why didn't she compare herself in the depths of her heart, if she is a woman, she can't avoid vulgarity. As long as you know how to turn back in time, it is enough.
Wen Ruyan was stunned, and quickly restrained the joke on her face, "My daughter understands." ”
"You can only say that I have only figured out this little truth in my life, and I only hope that you two sisters will be better than me in the future." This is Grandma Wensan's true words.
A few days later, the Wen family heard that Li Wei had given away several of his concubines, which was tantamount to cleaning up the backyard. This made Grandma Wen San really relieved, and even Wen Ruyu often laughed out loud when she embroidered. Through this marriage, the boiling water of the Wen family gradually subsided.
The Wen family didn't respond, so the Shen family's idea naturally couldn't be hidden. Zhao Jia's family was the first to refuse, of course, she didn't promise to give her son a side Fujin, but hated that a side Fujin's mother's family actually hit her son's head with the idea.
By holding a flower banquet, he invited the people of the Shen family to come and enjoyed Shen Yilan's box of jasmine alone, the paste was white and the fragrance was light.
Shen Yilan looked surprised, when she took it back like a baby, a few days later, she understood what Zhaojia meant, white incense, white incense, isn't it just a vain thought?
After knowing the truth, Shen Yilan cried, and Mrs. Shen came over to persuade her, "With our daughter's talent, what kind of person can't marry, why do you have to wronged yourself." I heard that Brother Hongyun ran back to Lin's house in a few days, and even when he saw a beautiful piece of paper on the road, he had to buy Baba and send it. Listening to his mother's words, he is really attentive to the girl of the Lin family, and his mother can't stand you marrying in and being left out in the cold. ”
The Shen family has long been going downhill, what kind of family can they talk to? Although the thirteenth elder brother is not taken seriously, he has a way to make money. Outsiders don't know, but their Shen family knows a thing or two. In addition, Hongyun's elder brother Yunwen Yunwu is also a son-in-law, how can he inherit a title in the future. She really couldn't find a better one.
"What is snubbing? She is a fairy, she is favored for one year and two years for another, and she can be favored every year. Shen Yilan gritted her teeth, her father supported her, so why should her mother be like this.
Mrs. Shen opened her mouth and couldn't speak, she was a concubine, and whether she was favored or not, she was the original match. As long as a son is born, others are destined to not be able to turn over. What's more, is it so competitive to compete for favor?
What's the use of saying this, my daughter is already a demonic barrier, and she can't listen to other people's words at all.
Zhao Jia's box of white thoughts, so that Fang Fujin didn't dare to go out for half a month, how could she not know the thoughts of her niece. It's just that she knows that if she doesn't speak, it won't work. simply pretended not to know, that is, she didn't help or pour cold water, and watched her toss herself. Anyway, if she really wants to enter the door, she still needs the support of her aunt.
When this happened, seeing that her daughter was still running to Hongyun without a heart, she was a little angry.
"Play and play, just remember to play, your cousin has just been trained, you can't stop a little."
"What's the matter with me, she can't think about it, and she can't say it. I didn't do anything wrong, why was she involved, my eldest brother didn't blame me for anything, but my mother was angry with me. "Ulan Gege's temper is all used to by the Thirteenth Master, and he is very temperamental.
After saying that, she ran away, and after a while, the thirteenth master sent someone over to reprimand her, don't forget what is the surname of Ulan. Frightened side Fujin, I really didn't dare to go out this time.
Daiyu received a box of osmanthus nectar, which Hongyun sent like a treasure.
"I heard that it is an ancient method, and the honey blended in this way absorbs all the fragrance of osmanthus into it, which is particularly fragrant. It is used to make muxi cakes, muxi tea is good, and it is also good to use it to mix water and drink. Hongyun didn't remember the cumbersome steps for a long time, he only knew that this thing was not easy to come by, as long as it was not easy, it was a good thing, and it was bound to be sent to Daiyu.
"Hurry up and make a pot out to drink, let's drink together." Daiyu asked Bai Lu to go down and pointed to the Qionghua planted in the yard, "Thank you." ”
Hongyun's face turned red, and he quickly shook his head, "There is just a boat going to Yangzhou, so let them bring one back, just by the way, really by the way." ”
The Qionghua they saw in the courtyard of the Lin family in Yangzhou when they were children was transplanted by Hongyun. By the way, the corners of the little guys around Hongyun grinned. I lowered my head and didn't dare to let people see it, and I was secretly happy in my heart. A boatload of florists and gardeners, carefully sent back like a treasure, also called by the way, then the dart will also say that he is by the way. By the way, I received the money, and by the way, I went the same way, and by the way, I just pulled the knife.
Yangzhou's house took off some time ago, and Daiyu just mentioned it, but it's a pity that they saw Qionghua when they were children. Unexpectedly, a few months later, this Qionghua tree was transplanted to Jinling.
"I'll water it well, and I'll invite you to enjoy the flowers next March." Bai Lu transferred the osmanthus nectar, poured a cup for each of them, and gave Hongyun's little servant a look, and the two retreated to the bottom and guarded the pavilion in the center of the courtyard from afar.
"You're a much smarter girl than I am." Hongyun was a little annoyed, these people around him, loyalty is loyalty, but he doesn't know how to look at his eyes, where is this girl like Bai Lu, she is really interesting.
"You've taken a fancy to my girl so soon." Daiyu teased him.
"How can I have, the conscience of heaven and earth, I think the difference between her and my own little girl is only the difference in name. I can swear, definitely not what you think. Hongyun pretended to be aggrieved.
Daiyu "poofed" for a while, and the green jade pointed at his forehead, "Even if you like it, I don't agree." ”
"So, Wen Ruyu's marriage was really brokered by you? Sure enough, our family Fujin is the smartest. Hongyun gave a thumbs up with both hands.
"I made it up, what's wrong? Listen to you, what else is going on? Daiyu tilted her head, it seemed that there was really something, it was difficult for everyone to know about it, so she hid it from herself.
"You don't know?" Hongyun really didn't expect that when he knew about this, he was already angry, and he got the box of white jasmine back, if it wasn't for Ulan's relatives, he wouldn't even save face for her.
"What do you say, such a thing?" After listening to Daiyu, she suddenly realized, Wen Ruyan's strange appearance, and her father's cold snort were explained. But she really didn't know, she was completely unintentional, but she didn't expect that it would be fulfilled by others not to say it, and it also cleared an obstacle for herself.
"But I promise you, this is just the Shen family's unilateral idea, how can he have that ability, even if Huang Ma Fa refers to people, there is also room for turnaround, who does he think he is." Hongyun snorted coldly, disgusted with the Shen family to the extreme.
"I heard that Lord Shen writes a good hand, and I especially like to make friends with literati with good calligraphy." Daiyu's mind suddenly flipped to the sentence and half she had heard before, and a lightning bolt hit her heart, and it was polished with a rub.
"Yes, it's good to have a relationship with the Three Emperors, last time the Three Emperors presided over the compilation and revision of the "Origin of the Legal Calendar", there was Lord Shen." Hongyun is like a treasure about these things, and the royal relationship between relatives and friends is like a messy network of threads, and anyone has a little to do with anyone.
"That's right." Daiyu nodded, she felt the need to talk to her father.
"What's wrong? Can't tell me. Hongyun was a little dissatisfied, and thought about the meaning of her words for a long time, but he couldn't understand it.
How dare Daiyu say, she could only smile and bend her eyes, "I'll just ask, seeing that you are nervous, what can I hide from you." ”
Hongyun still knows, who called the thirteenth master his Amma. Lin Ruhai has a good daughter, and Hongyun also has a good Amma. Prince Yong's affairs are not hidden from the Thirteenth Master, but the Thirteenth Master does not appear in front of Prince Yong's henchmen.
As soon as Hongyun asked about this, he knew about it, and patted his thigh, "It's not appropriate for anyone else to do this, so it's up to you to do it." Chong Guan is angry and blushing, a manly husband should be so chic. You Amma don't have this opportunity, son, you have to seize the opportunity to shine. ”
"Does the Third Emperor really have this in mind?" If he didn't have this mind, wouldn't it be very wronged.
"Don't you know when you try it? He didn't have this mind, so he naturally ignored Shen Da, and this matter was done. If they take it seriously, they clearly have this in mind. ”
"Side Fujin She ......"
"When she entered the door of our house, she was my woman, and if something happened to the Shen family, it couldn't even affect her. Wulan is my daughter, she has the same surname as you, and she has a fart relationship with the Shen family. Lao Tzu is happy, the Shen family is relatives, Lao Tzu is unhappy, the Shen family is a dog/fart. The thirteenth master announced very domineeringly, looking at his son with hope, with an expression of Lao Tzu's regret that he would make up for it by you, and the frightened Hongyun fled.
