Chapter Eighty-Seven: Footsteps
Jiang asked about the situation of the eldest princess of Huiyang again, and heard Ding Hui say that the eldest princess of Huiyang did everything possible to stuff people around Zhao Yi'an, and scolded him hatefully, and heard Zhao Yi'an ask Ding Hui to help him send the original concubine, and strengthened the conjecture in his heart, and felt more and more that he could no longer leave his daughter in the eldest princess's mansion, "What kind of character is Zhao Yi'an, everyone in the capital knows that that dog thing insists on sending you to that fire pit!" But now that we've mentioned this matter, I'm afraid that the eldest princess of Huiyang won't agree,"
Jiang Shi looked at his daughter lying beside him, as if he was back when she was still in swaddling clothes, the fragrant and soft little man was lying next to him, but in the blink of an eye, he was snatched away by the old lady again!
"What do you want?" Ding Hui didn't close her eyes when she saw Jiang, but looked at herself quietly, a little weak.
"I'm thinking that Zhao Yi'an is not a good match, fifty taels of silver apiece, hum," Jiang Shi's fingers tapped, "You don't like the eldest princess, you marry into the Zhao family for two years and don't come out, and then drive out the concubines around him one after another, even if you reconcile and leave in the future, you will no longer have a reputation at all,"
"And Zhao Yi'an not only asked you to bring back all the dowry, but also gave you another sum of silver, in the eyes of the world, he has become the most affectionate and righteous person, and he will not worry about marrying a high-ranking woman in the future,"
If Zhao Yi'an is still in the eldest princess's mansion now, then what the Jiang family said is right, but now these are proposed by Ding Hui herself, and reputation or anything is not within Ding Hui's consideration, now for her, freedom is the most important, as for the future, in fact, it is not bad to follow the Jiang family to do business, hearing the news that the Jiang family bought a sea ship in Quanzhou, Ding Hui moved to follow the mind of going out to have a look.
But Ding Hui couldn't tell Jiang Shiming these words now, so she only smiled lightly, "No matter what, he allowed me to leave the eldest princess's mansion, if he is ruthless, it will not be difficult for me to die of illness in the mansion." ”
This is also right, thinking about his daughter's situation in the eldest princess's mansion, Jiang sighed, "We can only think like this,"
The Jiang family has a lot of silver, but no amount of silver can buy power and respect, if it weren't for this, she wouldn't have chosen to marry into the Huai'an Hou Mansion with only an empty shell, "If you want to do something, just come and tell your mother, and your mother will also help you plan." ”
With Jiang's promise, Ding Hui became happy and approached Jiang with a smile, "Okay, I wrote it down, then if I want to go out for a walk, my mother is not allowed to stop me." ”
This is very easy, Jiang Shi stroked his daughter's smile, "What's so difficult about this?" I'm still going to go around our shop in the next few days, and I'll take you with me when the time comes, as well as your dowry shop, I'm afraid you haven't been there yourself, right? ”
Her own dowry shop, that's really not, after she walked through, she thought about how to get along, and didn't carefully calculate the dowry or anything like that, "I don't understand this, my mother has to teach me in the future." ”
The daughter followed the old lady Xiang, except for the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the housekeeper had no contact at all, and she married in a hurry, "Okay, you are so smart, as soon as your mother teaches you, you can learn it!" ”
Ding Hui took a nap with Jiang's for a while, and after waking up, he saw that Jiang's wanted to be a director, so he got up and wanted to go back to his Fangshi Courtyard, Jiang knew that his daughter had just come back, and there were still many things to pack, so he didn't keep her more, and only told Chun Mei to send Ding Hui back.
Back in Fangshi Courtyard, Ding Hui had the time to take a good look at the place where Ding Huiniang once lived.
Fangshiyuan is said to be an independent courtyard, in fact, it is a cross-courtyard of Ningshou Courtyard where the old lady lives, but there are three main rooms in one room, and two rooms are regressed behind, and the vermilion paint on the landing pillars under the corridor is a little gray, but fortunately, Yan's mother has ordered someone to wipe it clean, and the holly at the courtyard wall is also neatly trimmed, and it looks like a place to live.
This place is only one-third the size of Qionghua Courtyard, Ding Hui looked at such a narrow courtyard, and sighed, "It's really extravagant and frugal, now looking at this Fangshi Courtyard, I'm a little unaccustomed to it." ”
Huai'an Hou Mansion is not small, why is Ding Huiniang willing to live in such a small and remote courtyard?
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Mama Fang's face, "The girl has been raised by the old lady since she was a child, and the lady used to clean up the yard for the girl, but the girl refused to move ......."
The red sleeves were smart, and she could already see from Ding Hui's expression that she was dissatisfied with Fang Shi Courtyard, "The slave maid will tell Madam another day, let's change the courtyard to live." ”
Ding Hui really wants to change the yard, this yard is too bleak, and it is far away from the Ruian Courtyard, although the Jiang family has replaced a full set of new furniture and curtains, but compared with the old and the new, it looks particularly weird, "No need, I will tell my mother in person at night,"
She is now a "mother and daughter" with the Jiang family, and what she has to say is better than turning a corner.
"Madam, Aunt Xiang and Second Miss are here," Red Sleeves looked at the Xiang mother and daughter outside the door, without a good face, straight in front of them, if she didn't hear the summons in the house, she would never let them in.
Ding Hui smiled lazily and put down the pen in his hand, "Please let them in." ”
"I've seen the eldest lady," Xiang didn't dare to put the elders on the shelf in front of Ding Huiniang anymore, and saluted Ding Huiniang in a proper manner, until he heard Ding Huiniang tell them to sit, so he sat on the brocade on the side, "I heard that the eldest lady is coming back, I'm really happy,"
She looked around, and said in her heart that since Ding Huiniang got married, she had never been to this Fangshi Courtyard again, and said with emotion, "I really didn't expect that the eldest lady would come back one day,"
Aunt Xiang saw that Ding Hui only smiled and didn't speak, and her heart sank, "Yesterday, I heard that Madame asked Mother Yan to help the eldest lady clean up the yard, and I also want to help, after all, when the eldest lady was in the house, I took care of this living room, but,"
Aunt Xiang's eyes fell on the mahogany relief hairpin lady figure on the floor-to-ceiling screen, the gold and silver silk tassel pearl curtain, and the lacquered gold alpine flowing water Bogu frame, the original provocative words were held back into the stomach, and said with a forced smile, "But look at it now, Mrs. is also very attentive, these are good things that are easy to see in our house,"
As soon as Ding Rongniang came in, her eyes were tightly grasped by the things in Fangshi's courtyard, and the gift that Ding Huiniang brought back just now was sent to Qiuping Pavilion, and she gave her aunt four tribute satins, and she, in addition to the four satins, also got a gold silk inlaid ruby double luan and a little cui step.
Seeing that step shake, Ding Rongniang's anger towards Ding Huiniang dissipated suddenly, just like Xiang told her, Ding Huiniang is the most soft-hearted person, and it is not difficult to coax her at all, today she scolded Ding Huiniang at that time, if she became herself, I was afraid that she would have to fight with the person who scolded her, but what about Ding Huiniang? Didn't Baba send a step made in the branch to please her? (To be continued.) )
