The opening on the 16th was very successful, and Xichun was determined to stay on Peach Blossom Island for one night because she liked it, and Daiyu and Xiangyun and Yingchun accompanied her. There is no feast in the world, and on the 18th, the spring was sent away, and the sisters returned home separately.

Daiyu remembered Xiangyun's matter and was planning how to solve it. In fact, there is an idea, which is to treat others the way they do. The Wei family feels that Xiangyun's life is hard Kefu's family, if Wei Ruolan does a lot of things that don't go well, and someone chews his tongue, it may not be impossible for the Wei family to take the initiative to withdraw from his family, but in this way, the rumors of Xiangyun's hard life are becoming more and more confirmed, how can he say kiss in the future?

In the end, Daiyu had to take advantage of the situation, planning to rely on her power to make the Wei family withdraw from her family, and she couldn't let the Wei family maliciously hold Xiangyun for a lifetime.

Xiangyun is the grandniece and granddaughter of Jia's mother, and she is related to the Jia family, and has nothing to do with the Zhuang family, and it is not good to say this kind of thing, so Daiyu did not say to help Zhuang Li, but went back to the Lin family and Lin Ruhai to say. Before she could go out that day, Zijuan came to tell her a piece of news, which surprised her.

"The Wei family has withdrawn? Isn't the son of the Wei family not in the capital? Daiyu was even more puzzled by why Wei Ruolan suddenly changed her mind.

Zijuan couldn't figure it out clearly, so she only said, "This is what Grandma Lian specially sent someone to say." ”

Daiyu's expression was wrong in Changtai Garden that day, Wang Xifeng took the time to turn around after being busy, and when she saw her like this, she had to ask. Daiyu said about Xiangyun, although she didn't say that she wanted to use a way to make the Wei family quit her family, but Wang Xifeng must have seen it, so she specially sent someone to deliver the news today.

Daiyu was anxious about this matter, so she went to Jia's house.

She went directly to see Wang Xifeng, and opened her mouth to ask, "Sister Feng, what's going on with the Wei family?" Didn't their family deliberately not quit their family? Why are you all gone and suddenly come to quit your family? ”

"Sister Lin, don't worry, sit down and rest, and listen to me slowly." Wang Xifeng personally brought her tea, and then said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you would never have imagined that this thing was actually done by Baoyu." Baoyu is really growing up, and she will worry about the big things of her life for her sisters, first she was busy with her fourth sister, and now she is thinking about Sister Yun. Baoyu has a little friendship with the son of the Wei family, I only heard that Baoyu wrote a letter to the son of the Wei family, and I don't know what was said in the letter, so the son of the Wei family sent someone to return the ceremony. The other party only said that the family had suddenly undergone great changes, and that she had no intention of marrying in recent years, which inevitably delayed Sister Yun's youth, and she wanted to withdraw from her family, but she was also a little decent. ”

Hearing that she really retreated, Daiyu first breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed. Originally, the two families were also considered to be a good marriage, at that time, Xiangyun and the son of the Wei family occasionally exchanged letters and things, if they could get married, Xu was also a good couple, and both families had accidents......

"You go and take a look at Sister Yun, after the Wei family retreated, Sister Yun was locked up in the house alone and no one was seen." Wang Xifeng was afraid that Xiangyun wouldn't be able to think about it, no matter how broad and bright it was, it was also a girl's family, how could she not care about such a major marriage event? Xiangyun has experienced so many changes, she has no parents since she was a child, she followed her uncle and aunt, and now her uncle is in exile, and her aunt doesn't want to take care of her, so she lives in Jia's house, and Jia's mother, who loves her the most, is gone.

Daiyu came to the courtyard of Tanchun, and happened to see Tanchun standing in front of the door of Xiangyun House, the door was closed, and it seemed that Tanchun's words did not work.

When Tanchun saw her coming, her face was indifferent: "Sister Lin is here." ”

"How's Sister Yun?" Since the last time Tanchun did a scene in front of her, she is even planning something now, and she does not hesitate to count the people around her for the sake of the purpose, which makes Daiyu feel awkward when she sees Tanchun again. Thinking about what he said to Xiangyun that day, everything changed, not only Baoyu, but also their sisters.

Although Tanchun's voice was light, he could hear the irony: "What can you do when you encounter this kind of thing?" ”

Daiyu didn't know how to talk to Tanchun for a while, as if it was a mistake for her to stand here.

But Tanchun opened his mouth again: "Sister Lin, you are the only one among our sisters who has the best life, and I just want to help Sister Yun for the sake of the sisters." She is not the Jia family after all, how can she live in a relative's house for a lifetime, Sister Lin should know the suffering. ”

As a sister, Daiyu naturally cares about Xiangyun, and she will do it even if no one says it, but when this comes out of Tanchun's mouth, it is very piercing. If Daiyu in the past couldn't help but be ironic, only now...... The Jia family is already like this, and Tanchun has been unhappy with her family again, and it is inevitable that there will be a few piercing words, if she cares about this, she will not be a sister.

Daiyu went to shoot Xiangyun's door: "Sister Yun, let's go to Changtai Garden?" Sister Yun doesn't like boating, let's stay for a few days. Now it is a good spring, but I still remember the catkins made by Sister Yun that year: Is it embroidered velvet remnants, rolling up half a curtain of incense mist, slender hands come by themselves, and the air makes the cuckoo cry swallow jealous. Stay, stay, don't let the spring light go. ”

Tanchun behind her listened to the words and remembered the first time she started to compose poems, but she wrote a post to Baoyu and did the first time she went to the Begonia Club.

Suddenly, there was a knock, and the door opened. Xiangyun stood at the door, his eyes were slightly red, there were still tears in the corners of his eyes, but there was a smile on his face: "Sister Lin, third sister." ”

Daiyu inadvertently caught a glimpse of two golden things on the table in the room, and looked closely, there were two golden unicorns, one large and one small. Among them, the small one is only what Xiangyun has been wearing, and the big one seems to have been given to Xiangyun by Baoyu. That year, Qingxuguan played Jiao, and the old Taoist held a large plate of things, and Baoyu only approved the golden unicorn, even if she didn't say it in her mouth, she knew that it was left for Xiangyun.

There is another reason here, Daiyu doesn't know, but Tanchun knows.

At the beginning, Shi Wei's two families were small, and Baoyu uncharacteristically said that this was a good marriage, and took the golden unicorn from Xiangyun and gave it to Wei Ruolan. According to what Baoyu said at that time, Wei Ruolan always wore the golden unicorn on her body, and she didn't know how envious she was at that time. Who would have thought that in just a few years, things are not people.

Xiangyun noticed their gaze, looked at the two golden unicorns and smiled bitterly, but as if he had seen it, he only sighed: "The things in the world are really uncertain, even the destined marriage is difficult to achieve, and I am nothing." ”

Everyone present understood that the so-called destiny of marriage refers to the golden and jade relationship between Baoyu and Baochai, but because the two had withdrawn, Xiangyun did not say it directly in order to avoid it.

Xiangyun stuffed the two golden unicorns in the drawer casually, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, I'm fine, this is just a catastrophe, I'm here, and it's been smooth for a long time." The second brother is so worried about my business, and the sisters are so worried about me, how can I live up. ”

Daiyu said: "Sister Yun, you have always been proud of your quick thinking, I have always had the heart to compare with you, how about we go to Changtai Garden?" Just you and me, a separate club. ”

Xiangyun didn't know Daiyu's good intentions, and it was a good thing to be able to dismiss at this moment, so he nodded and smiled: "Sister Lin knows that I love wine, and I have good poems after drinking wine. ”

"Sister Yun, just rest assured, Sister Qingyun's Changtai Garden has a wine cellar, which not only contains the fine wine of the foreign domain, but also has a lot of foreign wine, and you can drink whatever you want."

immediately decided, greeted Wang Xifeng, and Xiangyun went to Changtai Garden with Daiyu.

Lin Qingyun's Changtai Garden borrowed the prevailing club system, and there was not much difference in membership fees and membership levels, but there would be a quota for free every year, and these ten people could enjoy all the services of ordinary members for free in Changtai Garden.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a poetry meeting is held in the name of Changtai Garden, but all women can sign up to participate, and the top ten who win the first prize will get a year of ordinary membership. This is not only a means of publicity, but also Lin Qingyun's intention to absorb some outstanding women to join Changtai Garden, the official daughters know a lot of poetry and are good at poetry, and writing poems and lyrics is also an elegant thing, although Changtai Garden has not been opened for a long time, but there will be a lot of poetry in the future, and it is very beneficial to have more women with outstanding poetry. Not to mention far away, only Daiyu and these sisters are extremely happy. In the past, the girls were bored at home, and the people who came and went were familiar with each other, and being able to fight poetry and papers with the talented women next to them was not only novel but also exciting for them.

Lin Qingyun didn't think too much about the long-term at this time, she just hoped that this platform would give them a place to relax. Daguanyuan was once a paradise for the daughters of the Jia family, and Changtai Garden was a paradise for women in Beijing, of course, she hoped that one day in the future, the women's constraints would be smaller, like abroad, so she also gave Scarlett and Louise a few members of the list, hoping that they would have the opportunity to get together in Beijing.

There are inevitably many problems in the operation of the garden, not only Wang Xifeng's busy feet do not touch the ground, but even Lin Qingyun is rarely idle. Tu Yan often gives advice, and occasionally a few words are eye-catching.

Lin Qingyun praised him without hesitation: "If the prince is in business, it is not difficult to be rich and rival the country." ”

Tu Yan smiled: "It's not necessarily a good thing to be rich and rival the country. We don't lack anything, and it's not for money to do this now, we will have a daughter in the future, and Changtaiyuan will be mature at that time, and she will like it very much. ”

"There's no shadow yet, isn't Chu Yang and Brother Rui not busy enough for you." In fact, the two had discussed it earlier, and it was in vain that Yan told her first, hoping that she could recuperate well in the past two years, and was worried that frequent childbirth would cause a burden on her identity. What's more, now they have two sons-in-law, Chuyang and Brother Rui, which is enough to make people envious, as long as they are raised well, it is enough to have no other children, so now they are consciously contraceptive.

Tu Yan sighed: "Those two bastard boys are not as intimate as their daughters. ”

Tu Yan thought of the eldest sister of the Lu Hong family he saw last time, she was pink and big-eyed, and she was simply well-behaved. That's when he wanted a daughter.

Lin Qingyun smiled: "Dislike them so quickly?" How old are they, and they still have to grind. ”

Half a year later, the operation of Changtai Garden was on the right track, and Wang Xifeng's management was gradually getting better, and Lin Qingyun was loosened.

It's rare to have a good autumn weather, and Tu Yan is checking the affairs of the Gao family, and recently he suddenly got a clue, and he has been very busy these days. She instructed Acacia to pack up her things, and planned to take Chuyang and Brother Rui to Changtai Garden for two days.

At the time of the initial construction, the Peach Blossom Island was pre-left in the Changtai Garden, and occasionally they came to live in the mood, or the sisters got together, and Daiyu, An Le, and Hui Yi Ruolai also lived here. No male guests are allowed in the garden, this is the most important rule, so even if it is in vain, it is not allowed to come in after the official opening, so the sisters of Peach Blossom Island live and do not need to shy away.

When the group arrived at the garden, Wang Xifeng heard the news and came to entertain him, and personally led people to help settle down on Peach Blossom Island.

The maids and mothers-in-law on duty in each courtyard of the garden are generally fixed, the more valuable the guest's residence, the more so, one is to know the guests' habits and preferences to serve better, and the other is to ensure the safety of the guests. Of course, the ladies and ladies of each family serve their own maids, and the maids and daughters-in-law sent by the garden are only responsible for some trivial things.

The maids on Peach Blossom Island were personally screened by Lin Qingyun, and there were several strong mothers-in-law who patrolled morning and evening, regardless of whether there were people living on the island or not, no one was allowed to disturb them.

There are many people, there are many right and wrong, and there are many powerful ladies and daughters in Beijing in this garden, and the relationship is complicated, not to mention that the war between women has a variety of tricks from words to conspiracy, and it has only been half a year since it opened, and Wang Xifeng secretly does not know how many such things have been handled. Managing this garden is not easy, it is definitely hard work, hard work, but Wang Xifeng seems to be tireless, and all kinds of mediation are appropriate. Lin Qingyun was both relieved and admired, but also a little worried that she was working too hard. In the original book, Wang Xifeng worked hard for the Jia family and fell ill, compared with it, this garden is definitely more exhausting, and she doesn't want to see Wang Xifeng tired because of this.

Fortunately, the two grandmothers took turns to follow, not only reminding Wang Xifeng to deal with the disputes between the female dependents of various families, but also reminding him to pay attention to his body, and gave him a few health care prescriptions, Wang Xifeng benefited a lot.

As soon as he arrived on the island, Chu Yang would not let him hug him, and he would definitely go down to the ground and run by himself. Brother Rui has to follow Chuyang in everything, and now he is almost a year and a half years old, and he runs very neatly. The island is surrounded by water, and there is a wooden folding bridge on the left and right, but there is no protection at the water's edge, so where can the two little ones run around by themselves.

"Bailing thrush, you follow, be careful." Chu Yang and Brother Rui are each equipped with two nurses, four grandmothers, and eight girls of all sizes, and half of them went out to follow, and the Bailing thrush led a few girls to follow, and they were not afraid of falling into the water when they were protected into a protective circle.

Wang Xifeng watched the two villains frolicking and ran away, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, princess, so many people are watching." Only the little prince and the second son often come to play, it is better to block the fence around the island, every time Brother Kwai comes over and wants to go to the island, I don't let it, I'm afraid that I won't miss my feet and fall. ”

"If it weren't for these people, I wouldn't have dared them run here." She also thought about it at first, but it was inevitable that the island would lose its beauty when it was stopped around, but these two little guys were naughty when they really arrived in a safe place, and people were inevitably careless, and it was easier for them to have accidents. Anyway, these people can't be raised in vain, they all follow, and a group of people will not be unable to see it.

Chu Yang is three years old this year, and on weekdays, Tu Yan is enlightening Chu Yang, and the emperor has said that Chu Yang will be allowed to study in the study in the spring of next year, and it will not be easy to have a good time like this. Moreover, Chu Yang is the eldest son and the heir to the Prince's Mansion, and he is not only honored and favored, but also responsible. Sometimes she thinks about the distress, and she can't leave with her two children, which is just a ridiculous idea.

Wang Xifeng first told her about the situation in the garden recently, and then said another thing: "Recently, Sister Yun is discussing marriage. ”

Lin Qingyun was slightly surprised: "Who did you say?" Who makes the matchmaker? ”

Although Daiyu has the intention to help Xiangyun, she is young in the end, and her identity is there, so it is not good to meddle in this kind of thing, so she entrusted the matter to the two wives of the Zhuang family, asking them to pay attention, if there is a suitable mention of Xiangyun. The relationship between the dealer and the literati is close, and there are classmates and classmates of several sons of the banker, etc., there may be suitable ones.

At this time, after listening to Sister Feng'er's words, I guessed that there was news from the dealer's side.

Who knew that Wang Xifeng sighed, and there was no joy on his face: "It was mentioned by the aunt of the Shi family, and two families were mentioned at one time." One is to fill the house for the six-grade official who is over forty years old, and the other is to be the daughter-in-law of the wealthy businessman's family, these two families are not good families, and the aunt of the Shi family suddenly cares about the relatives of Sister Qiyun, but it is the dowry of the man's family. The Shi family went through the house, and the name of the mother's private house said that they did not copy it, but they all took things according to the dowry list at the beginning, and they couldn't bring out a single case that was not on the list. After one or two decades of marriage, whose dowry can remain the same? It's a lot of loss. Later, I have to give some points to the two historians, otherwise who can survive in such a bitter cold place? The Shi family naturally had a difficult time, and the two girls and the three girls of the Shi family all retreated, looking for relatives for the two girls, so they didn't just focus on Sister Yun. Wang Xifeng said again: "Although our family is a distant relative of Sister Yun, the aunt of the Shi family is Sister Yun's family, and Sister Yun's lifelong events are decided by the Shi family, and we can't intervene." Yesterday, the Shi family sent someone to pick up Sister Yun back, and I found an excuse to postpone it for a few days, but I couldn't delay it for a few days. ”

"Such things ......"

Lin Qingyun naturally knew that Sister Feng was asking for help again, and she didn't say it clearly because she was leaving a step back, so as not to be unwilling to help or not helpful, and embarrassing each other. But this kind of thing is not easy to help, it is said to be the family affair of the Shi family, as the uncle and aunt who raised Shi Xiangyun, now he wants to find a family for Xiangyun, and everyone has to praise him wherever he goes, after all, Xiangyun's reputation and the current situation of the Shi family......

"Sister, do you know? What did she say? Compared with her, an outsider, Daiyu naturally has more feelings for Xiangyun and is more anxious.

"Sister Lin is kind-hearted, and she worked hard to find two or three families, and the men are all lifters, but the family is not very wealthy. It's just to be honest, Sister Yun's current conditions, it is difficult to say that she is a good person who is rich and rich, and she can't fill the house for others? Look at the eldest wife of our family, she may not be a neat housekeeper wife when she goes to someone else's house, but when she goes to this house, where is her background enough to see? The people below couldn't hold it down. Wang Xifeng knows very well that the right person is important, that is, in order to gain a firm foothold in the Jia family, she did not put in much effort. She still has her mother's family to rely on.

"Aunt Shi didn't agree?" That's almost certain.

"Of course they won't agree, what good will it do them if they can't get a rich dowry?" Wang Xifeng sighed and said, "Among our sisters, only Sister Yun and the third girl are suffering everywhere. For this reason, I also told our second master, now quietly search, even if you are looking for a family from other places, as long as the man has a good character, knows how to be motivated, and the family background is poor, the third girl has a dowry, and our mother's family will take care of it more, it may not be difficult. ”

Lin Qingyun looked at her, and the words in her mouth didn't know how to say for a while.

After Wang Xifeng left, she asked Acacia to go to the dealer to ask Daiyu, and Daiyu only said that she would do it. Lin Qingyun originally didn't plan to meddle in Xiangyun's affairs, in the end, she was an outsider, her name was not right, and it was not good to spread it. Because of the matter of Changtai Garden, not to mention the sour words of Princess Sujun in private, Princess Dingjun is more stable, not only a frequent visitor in the garden, but also a good means of grace, and several families are now close to her.

It was only her idea to build this garden at the beginning, but she proposed it again in vain and realized it. Tu Yan was more thoughtful than her, and initially thought of the jealousy that might be attracted in the future, so Tu Yan proposed to donate 30% of the annual profits to the imperial court to open schools in various places and enlighten for free.

This matter was privately presented to the Emperor, and no one knew about this donation except the Emperor.

Now that Prince Chun's Mansion is in the limelight, even the confident and calm Tu Yan is occasionally worried, let alone Lin Qingyun. Usually she watches the children very closely, the people who serve around her are very strict, and the treatment is very generous, so she is afraid that someone will have a crooked mind.

Therefore, whether it is based on subjective or objective reasons, she is reluctant to meddle in Shi Xiangyun's affairs.

A few days later, she sent someone to the dealer's house to find out the news, and Daiyu came over in person.

Lin Qingyun saw that although her face was not very good-looking, her expression was calm, and she guessed that Shi Xiangyun's matter was solved. When I asked, sure enough, it was just that this solution was sighing.

Daiyu said: "It's not that I don't have a backache when I stand and talk, it's just that Sister Yun was raised by the aunt of the Shi family, and she is the daughter of her own nephew, the family is in trouble, and the family is in difficulty, so it's okay to send Sister Yun to Jia's house, but now seeing that Sister Yun is profitable and wants to take people back to the mercy, it's really cool." The second girl and the third girl of the Shi family are daughters, they are distressed, they are afraid that they will go to their husband's house and be wronged, so they want to prepare a rich dowry, why don't they think about Sister Yun? If Sister Ruoyun went to the house they said, how will she live in the future? ”

In the end, this matter is an internal matter of the Shi family, the Jia family can only persuade it, and the Shi family can't listen to it.

In the end, Daiyu thought of an idea and told Xiangyun, and Xiangyun immediately got amnesty.

Xiangyun went to tell the Shi family's aunt that as long as the Shi family no longer cares about her family affairs, she is willing to give each of her two sisters a dowry of 2,000 silver. At the beginning, Shi Xiangyun lost her parents in her infancy, but later she also married the Wei family, and the dowry and things were all purchased, and the valuable things were a few boxes she carried, and later Jia's mother also left her things, which contained 10,000 silver. Originally, this was the foundation of Xiangyun's life, but now in order to be free, he can't take care of it.

If it was a former historian, where could the dowry of 3,000 silver be eyed, but now it is different from the past, the historian has been defeated, and it is extremely rich to have 3,000 silver to buy a dowry. In the end, the two aunts were just selfish, and before they reached the point of being vicious, they agreed, took it personally, wrote a paper contract, and never contacted Xiangyun again.

Xiangyun didn't have 6,000 silver, but she got the freedom to marry, and Jia's mother gave 4,000 silver, and she had some things of her own, not nothing.

"Money is just something outside the body, and now the big girl is very relaxed."

Daiyu was stunned and nodded: "Yes." After Aunt Shi left, Sister Yun cried a lot, but then she was relieved. ”
