The one hundred and seventieth Yuanchun concubine
Coming out of the Lin clan, before leaving, Daiyu suddenly turned to look at the son of the old patriarch Lin Tao, and said softly: "Uncle Cousin, you have to worry about the matter of clan studies, if there is something missing, just let people go to the ancestral house to find Lin Bo." The two Lin Boyuer thought that they were old, so they couldn't bear to run around, and if you found them, they would send someone to inform me. ”
Daiyu's eyes were clear and sincere, and Lin Tao's son nodded and said, "You little girl, rest assured, since my father agreed, there is nothing to do without care." ”
Hearing him say this, Daiyu nodded and said, "After returning to Beijing, I will think of re-engraving all the books in the house." There are also some books in the palace I don't know if I can see them, if I can, I will also think of sending a set to the clan, and I will let the brothers and sisters in the clan read, and I don't have to be confined to the four books and five classics. All good books are ......"
Without waiting for Daiyu to finish speaking, Lin Tao's son smiled and said, "You little girl! It's too much to worry about, my father will arrange these things, and I will help you watch it, if you want to send any books, just send them! In this way, Dai Yufang nodded and got into the carriage with the help of Mama Tang.
Because the Chinese New Year was approaching, Daiyu stayed in the ancestral house of Gusu for many days, and after the Lantern Festival, she was ready to leave for the capital.
Daiyu left Lin Zhong and Lin Yi in two rooms, only Lin Ping and Lin An brothers and Lin De and his wife, but they were unwilling to stay in Gusu to return to Beijing with Daiyu, Lin Zhong and Lin Yi also agreed, thinking that Daiyu could not be without useful people around her, especially Lin Ping and Lin An.
After thinking about it for two days, Daiyu finally decided to return to Beijing with only Linde and Jin'er. As for Lin Ping and Lin An's brothers, Daiyu released their registration, and let the pair of people who followed Lin Ruhai as a child worship Lin Ruhai's tablet, and asked them to study hard, seek fame, and let Lin Ruhai inherit what he has learned in his life.
The two brothers had already learned a lot when they were children with Lin Ruhai, and if they went to the school to learn again at this time, they could also be said to have accumulated a lot of money, and they thought that the learning progress would be very fast.
The only thing that everyone, including the parties concerned, didn't expect was that Daiyu actually left Mama Chen in Gusu, when Daiyu looked at Mama Chen with cold eyes and asked, "Mama is willing to leave by herself?" Or stay in Gusu and take care of Aunt Liu with Ruyi? ”
Although Mama Chen was not angry in her heart, she did not leave, after all, her man went early, and now she only has one son left, and her son's deed is still in Daiyu's hands, she doesn't dare to take her son as a bet!
Daiyu didn't want to leave Aunt Liu in Gusu, but Aunt Liu took her hand and said, "Aunt knows the girl's intentions, but Aunt was born and raised in Gusu, and now the old lady is also buried in Gusu, how can Aunt Niang leave?" My aunt is over fifty years old, and I don't know that I will go to see the old lady that day, so let me guard them here. ”
Looking at the teary-eyed Aunt Liu, Daiyu couldn't refuse in the end. After thinking about it, I finally found the two brothers Lin Zhong and Lin Yi, and said in front of everyone: "Today, in front of the big guys, I returned Aunt Liu's identity deed to her and changed the documents." ”
Saying that, Daiyu looked up at Lin Zhong and his wife, Lin Yi and his wife, and Mama Chen, who had just been assigned to Aunt Liu's side, and Ruyi, who had been with Aunt Liu for many years, before continuing: "In the future, Aunt Liu will be my father's good concubine, and after her death, she will also be buried in the ancestral house of the Lin family, and she will always be by my father's side." ”
After speaking, Daiyu looked at Aunt Liu again and said: "As soon as the expenses in the house are spent, I will send someone to send them every quarter, if there is anything missing, or if you want to go to the capital to see Yu'er, tell Aunt Lin Bolin." ”
Seeing that Aunt Liu nodded with a smile, her eyes were soft, Dai Yucai continued: "Only now that Ruyi is also older, and she has reached the age early, it is better to buy two more and come back to serve her aunt, so that her aunt will not be lonely, which makes Yu'er worry in Beijing." ”
Aunt Liu looked back at Ruyi, whose cheeks were flushed, thought about it and nodded, "That's the case, the girl arranged it." Daiyu thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's too late today, just let my aunt make her own decisions on this matter." It's okay to bother Aunt Lin to find someone to come in another day, or to choose from the house. In short, it's good to satisfy my aunt. ”
After everyone dispersed, Daiyu quietly took out thirty silver tickets of one hundred taels and handed them to Aunt Liu: "Yu'er is no more, Aunt must take care of herself, although Yu'er will send someone to send her to pay for the expenses in the house, one is to visit her aunt, and the other is to increase or decrease according to the time." But my aunt also has to keep some in her hands in case of unpreparedness. ”
Aunt Liu didn't expect that Daiyu would treat her like this, so she couldn't help but suddenly hugged Daiyu and cried, reluctant to give up, and admonished her every word.
But there is no banquet in the world, and Daiyu set off north on the second day, the seventeenth day of the first month. Daiyu still remembers that when Lin Ruhai and his family went to Yangzhou that year, it was also the seventeenth day of the first lunar month.
What Daiyu didn't expect was that history would change so quickly, on the day of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's burial, which was also Jia Zheng's birthday, Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the Six Palaces, and the chief administrator of Xia came to Jia's Mansion to issue an edict.
That Xia Shouzhong did not carry the edict, dismounted in front of the eaves of Jiafu, walked to the hall with a smile on his face, stood in the south, and said in his mouth: "Special purpose: immediately announce Jia Zheng's entry into the court, and see your majesty in the Linjing Palace." ”
After saying that, Xia Shouzhong didn't eat tea, and even ignored the people in Jiafu to stay, so he left on horseback. Jia Zheng didn't know what was going on, so he had to hurriedly change his clothes and enter the court. But Mrs. Wang guessed in her heart: I'm afraid that because she repaid 50,000 taels of silver, the saint will reward her family! couldn't help but feel secretly proud in his heart, and his gaze at Mrs. Xing became more and more disdainful.
Since Mrs. Jia, everyone in the family has been in a panic except for Mrs. Wang, and even Mrs. Wang does not dare to show pride in her face, and she keeps making people fly back and forth to report the news.
After two hours, I suddenly saw Lai Da and other three or four housekeepers panting and running into the door to report the good news, and when they were far away, they said loudly: "On the orders of the old man, please quickly ask the old lady to lead the lady and others into the court to thank you." ”
At that time, Mrs. Jia was in a state of flux, standing under the corridor in the lobby, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, You Shi, Li Kun, Sister Feng, Sister Yingchun, and Aunt Xue were all in one place. Hearing Lai Da and others report like this, Mrs. Jia couldn't help but call Lai Da over to ask carefully.
Lai Da smiled and said, "The little ones are only waiting outside the Linjing Gate, and they can't know any information inside. Later, it was Eunuch Xia who came out to say goodbye, saying that the eldest lady of our family was promoted to the Shangshu of Fengzao Palace, and was crowned a virtuous concubine. Later, the old man came out and ordered the little one to quickly invite the old lady to lead the ladies to thank them. ”
When Jia Mu and the others heard this, Fang's heart was calm, and they couldn't help but be full of joy. So they all put on makeup according to the product. Jia Mu led Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and You Shi, a total of four sedan chairs into the court.
Although Jia Yu was very reluctant in his heart, he still changed into court clothes with Jia Zhen, led Jia Rong and Jia Qiang to serve Jia's mother in a sedan chair. So the east and west, up and down, inside and outside, were all happy, and there was a look of pride on their faces, and they were full of laughter.
Wang Xifeng frowned secretly in his heart, and said in his heart: I'm afraid that there are more and more things in this mansion!
Yingchun saw Wang Xifeng standing in front of the door, and didn't know what to think, so he stepped forward and grabbed Wang Xifeng's arm and said, "What does my sister-in-law think?" Actually into God? Wang Xifeng turned his head and smiled reluctantly: "Don't stand, let's go back." As he spoke, he led Yingchun and the others back.
There is a virtuous concubine in Jiafu, the mother of the main position of the first house, and the people who are close to Jiafu have also acted with honor.
When Mrs. Jia and her entourage returned to the mansion, they were all beaming with joy, but Mrs. Xing didn't think so, and she couldn't stop laughing with people on her face. The crowd chatted and laughed until late at night, before they gradually dispersed.
When Wang Xifeng returned to Wutong Residence, the smile on his face dissipated. It's not that she's not happy for Yuanchun, but she's worried about herself. She is no longer like in her previous life, and she only focuses on the acre and third of Jiafu. Now that the situation in the DPRK and China is changing, although Wang Xifeng can't see clearly, he also has deep uneasiness.
Turning to the side, Wang Xifeng still couldn't sleep, so he simply sat up. When Ping'er saw Wang Xifeng get up, she couldn't help but ask softly, "Grandma, what's wrong?" ”
Wang Xifeng didn't answer, but only ordered: "Go, light the lamp for me." Although Ping'er was puzzled, she didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly went to light the lampstand.
When Ping'er turned around, Wang Xifeng had already put on his outer robe, pacing around the couch with his arms crossed, frowning and thinking about something. Seeing this, Ping'er smiled and said, "Grandma is thinking about the article, is she going to take the top prize?" ”
If it was usual, Wang Xifeng would definitely joke with her, or come forward to tear her mouth. But today, Wang Xifeng didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't even raise his head.
For a long time, Ping'er didn't know what to do, just stood quietly aside, watching Wang Xifeng keep moving, and finally couldn't help it, so he stepped forward and pulled Wang Xifeng and said, "Grandma, sit down, I'm dizzy when I turn around." ”
Wang Xifeng seemed to come back suddenly, looked up at Ping'er, frowned and ordered, "You go and take out the account books in my box!" I picked up a piece that I just sent this year. ”
When Ping'er heard this, she was shocked, and she couldn't help but look out the window, and said uncertainly: "Grandma, it's been three watches now." Wang Xifeng glared at her impatiently and said, "What are you talking about?" Let you go, why don't you go soon? Ping'er had no choice but to turn out of the inner room and go to the warm pavilion.
However, after two teas, Ping'er walked in lightly holding a stack of account books.
Wang Xifeng got up and took it, put it on the kang table and flipped through it one by one. There is her dowry list in it, the Zhuangzi shop that Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing handed over to her and her husband and wife in the past two years, and the newly purchased Zhuangzi field.
Wang Xifeng thought about it, reclassified and sorted out the account books, took out half of them and put them on the side, and handed the other to Ping'er to lock them back, and ordered to take out the real estate deed.
Ping'er didn't know how Wang Xifeng was stunned today, she got up in the middle of the night to get these, but she still nodded and did what Wang Xifeng said, which is also the reason why all the dowries of the year have been sent out over the years, and only Ping'er can stay by her side.
For a while, Ping'er took the box with the real estate deed and put it in front of Wang Xifeng, and finally couldn't help complaining: "Grandma, stop a little, this time I see that the sky is about to dawn, I have to go to the wife's house to eat for a while, and I have to go to the old lady's house to ask for peace when I am finished, the girl and her brother wake up and don't know what happened, and grandma doesn't care about herself." ”
Wang Xifeng looked at Ping'er and said with a sneer: "You talk a lot, if it's okay, come and help me find it." As he spoke, he pushed the account book in his hand to the middle and said, "See? The deeds of these Zhuangzi shops were found. Ping'er sighed and had to rummage through the appointment.
After the two of them sorted out these real estate deeds, the sky will really be bright. Wang Xifeng asked Ping'er to put away the account books and the rest of the real estate deeds, but he took a box separately from his hand, installed them, locked them, and put them at the head of the bed.
Sitting at the head of the bed, Wang Xifeng somehow remembered what Qin Keqing had said back then, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but take a breath, and said secretly in his heart: The housekeeping in this mansion seems to have to be in your hands! (To be continued.) )
