Looking at Xia Jingui, who was standing in front of the Shang clan and saying good things carefully, Tanchun also knew that he had made a mistake.

After all, you are here to ask for help, if you offend the other party, why should they help you? Like Xia Jingui, Shang is also a woman who married in, and he is not familiar with Tanchun. What's more, Jia Jiu is an unmarried girl, Jia Jiu can't do matchmaking for others, if Tanchun wants to use the power of the Marquis of Rongguo Mansion to plan a good marriage for himself, he can only rely on the Shang family.

Now, because of his various envy and jealousy, Tanchun actually provoked the friendship between the Shang family and Jia Jiu's sister-in-law, how could the Shang family be willing to help him?

Tanchun also knew that he had made a mistake. However, fortunately, Shang was skillful in speaking, and he didn't wait for Tanchun to say something more out of line, so he blocked Tanchun's words. Tanchun is also very glad that the way he spoke just now is a little similar to Shi Xiangyun, and he is not very attentive, but he will not leave a special impression.

Tanchun cleaned up his thoughts, changed his smile, and said: "This matter of salt and fertilizer, when I lived in this mansion in the old days, I vaguely heard a little about it. However, at that time, I was worried about the old lady's affairs, but I didn't pay attention to it. Long live since she was promoted to the second sister because of this matter, I think it was because I saw the benefits? ”

Shang nodded and said, "Yes." The south side of the Yangtze River and the Zhuangzi in the north have seen results. ”

Tanchun said: "I see, since we have seen the results, it is natural to be rewarded." Speaking of which, the second sister has always been extremely generous in this kind of thing. When the second sister came back from the north, it was obviously the credit of the second sister. gave it to the two girls Qian'er and Qing'er, and let the two girls get benefits for no reason. Today, the same is true for Sister Lin. It's a pity. This time, the eldest master and the second brother Lian have no share. ”

Shang didn't expect to say that, Tanchun also said this, and even said: "Men have their own way to go, if they rely on the women of the house to fight for them, it will inevitably be misaligned and laughable." I admit, on this salt fertilizer. Over the years, the family has taken out 120,000 taels of silver every year. But so what? People say. Why do you regret the honor and disgrace of life and death for your family and country, the old man and the second master gambled their lives for the sake of their family and country, what is this bit of money? One or two hundred thousand taels of silver a year, and people like us can't afford it. ”

Shang suddenly spoke. Xia Jingui and Tanchun were stunned.

Tanchun's face flickered red and white. He never thought of it. Shang would be so unkind. Originally, he just wanted to explain a thing or two, or just sigh a few sentences, but he didn't expect to attract such words as Shang's, and he didn't feel ashamed and ashamed.

The matter was provoked by Tanchun, and of course Xia Jingui would not help him speak.

On the contrary, it was Jia Baoyu, who took pity on his sister in the end, and when he saw this, he hurriedly made a gesture with the Shang family, and said, "Let my sister-in-law smile." Over the years. The second sister cared for her two nieces and took various opportunities to benefit her two nieces. There was a lot of discussion in the family. Sometimes, it's hard to tell the real from the fake. At that time, although we also lived together, some words had changed in the ears of our brothers and sisters. If there is something missing, please also ask your sister-in-law Haihan. ”

Shang Shi looked at Jia Baoyu, then nodded, and said, "Since my uncle said so, then I, as a sister-in-law, should say a few more words, so as not to misunderstand my uncle and my younger siblings and younger sisters." After all, this world is a man's world, and fame and fortune still depend on men to fight for. There was no way for our family before, the old man and the second master both went to the battlefield, and if there was a slight mistake, a family would be scattered, so my sister would choose to go to the battlefield in person. As for hiding their whereabouts through the two nieces, there is no way to do it. After all, a girl's reputation is always wanted. If the traces are seen, the reputation of the girl in the family is finished. Therefore, at that time, the younger sister will give the credit to the two nieces, not that the younger sister prefers the two nieces, but that the younger sister cares about everyone in the family and wants to maintain the reputation of the family. If one was not good at that time, my sister's own reputation would be flawed, but I was afraid that the reputation of the third sister would be even more ugly. ”

When Tanchun heard this, he immediately lowered his head.

Jia Jiu rushed to the border pass, there is a precedent for Ti Ying to save his father, and the matter is related to Jia Jiu's life and death, when people outside are talking about Jia Jiu, they will always raise their noble hands, understand Jia Jiu's last resort, and say two sentences: "This kid is too bold." However, there is no way to do it. The border is so tragic, if it were me, if my father and brother suffered this incident, I would also be eager to replace me. ”

In other words, under the premise of Jia Yu's life, no matter how bold Jia Jiu is, even if he learns from Mulan and mixes with those soldiers, but with the premise of saving his father, no one will criticize Jia Jiu, but will praise Jia Jiu's filial piety.

It's just that audaciousness will definitely become the world's first impression of the daughter of the Jia family, Jia Jiu has filial piety to escort her, and she will be fine, but Jia Tanchun and Jia Xichun will definitely be criticized by the world.

Jia Xichun is still young, so that's it, but Tanchun is only a few years different from Jia Jiu, and the eyes of the world will stay on Tanchun's body and be picky in every way. Originally, with a mother-in-law like Mrs. Wang, the world's evaluation of Tanchun is low enough, if there are more bold labels, I am afraid that others will make Tanchun the second of Mrs. Wang.

Tanchun was originally a maidservant's daughter, and she couldn't even have a serious household registration, but now that she has received such an evaluation, I'm afraid that Tanchun won't have to marry in her life.

Shang didn't say these words, he thought that with the shrewdness of Tanchun, he should think about it. What's more, Jia Yu has long been separated, except for a little face in front of Jia's mother, the two families have not had much contact. Jia Baoyu, Xia Jingui, and Tanchun are guests, and as the host, he still has to save some face for each other.

Shang didn't want to say anything more on this topic, he looked left and right, and said, "Why don't you see the third master of Huan?" He is also the grandson of the old lady, why didn't he come? ”

Xia Jingui hurriedly said: "The third brother of the previous child said that he wanted to come over, but when he was about to go out, he suddenly got a cold, and he was afraid that he would give his illness to the old lady, so he couldn't make the trip." ”

Shang hurriedly said, "Sick? This is no small matter. Brother Huan is the old son of the second uncle. I'm afraid this foundation is not as good as Brother Bao's. If it is not good to give birth, I am afraid that it will fall into the root of the disease. But if it is to nourish the body, high-quality ginseng is certainly a good thing. But this angelica gastrodia is a good thing to replenish qi and blood. Mother Zheng, you let people pick two high-grade ginseng sticks, and Angelica Sinensis and Gastrodia also cleaned up a lot. Brother Huan lives in Zhuangzi, and it is not as convenient as our family to buy these things. ”

Shang's roommate, Zheng Jing's family, hurriedly responded.

Zheng Jing's family understands very well that this ginseng is for Jia Huan to exchange money, and this Angelica Gastrodia is for Jia Huan's body. Ginseng has a void that is not replenished, but angelica, which is known as a small ginseng, will not make people empty and unreplenished. On the contrary, angelica and chick soup together are excellent for the body.

Tanchun saw that the Shang family cared about Jia Huan. I was really relieved. He was very afraid, if the Shang clan had a dislike for his words and left him alone, then he would be finished.

Over the years. Tanchun is very clear. I am used to living the life of a young lady, and I can't adapt to the country life at all. Although it is said that whether it is in the mansion of the Marquis of Rongguo or in the Grand View Garden, Tanchun, as a maidservant, has the most humble identity among the sisters, and even later, in order to save money, Mrs. Wang sold a large number of girls outside. can be used as Jia Zheng's daughter. Tanchun is still a guest at home, and she is still a girl in a room.

So. The same is true of Tanchun's requirements for future marriage. In any case, it must be a family that can afford to summon a servant woman, and it is impossible for him to take care of the housework or something himself.

Shi Xiangyun's experience, Tanchun heard about it.

In Tanchun's opinion, even if he fills the house for others, even if he is like Mrs. Xing, he is not loved by his husband, he is not respected by his original concubine, and even looked down on by those concubines, it is better than taking care of the housework himself.

Tanchun's plans for the future, Shang didn't know. Shang only knew that Tanchun ran so diligently in this mansion because he hoped that he would find a future for him.

It's just that Shang's idea is different from Tanchun.

Tanchun hopes to be an official's wife, even if it is to fill the house for people, as long as the age is not so out of line, Tanchun can accept it. Tanchun's life was told that people live for a lifetime, the important thing is identity and fame, and everything else is virtual. Men's favor is even more unreliable.

But in Shang's opinion, it is best to find an honest man from the countryside to marry. The countrymen's means are limited, and with their ability to explore spring, they can naturally be suppressed. If you change to a promising person, even if it is a child of a scholarly family, when the family is developed in the future, she may not be willing to let Tanchun, the daughter of a sinner, occupy the position of the main room.

Not to mention, fill the house for the dignitaries.

To fill the house, the first thing is to be virtuous and be able to treat the children left by the original spouse. But Tanchun's reputation is not good. Not to mention anything else, just his behavior of stepping on Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan to curry favor with Mrs. Wang was enough for others to shake their heads. If this is true for his own brother who is a fellow mother, how can others believe that he is a virtuous person who will treat the children of the family well? Moreover, Mrs. Wang is Tanchun's mother-in-law, and Tanchun once flattered Mrs. Wang so much, in the eyes of others, it is difficult to say that Tanchun will not learn Mrs. Wang's style.

Therefore, with a girl like Tanchun, even if her son is already very old and her daughter-in-law has already entered the door, she is not afraid to be taught easily. In other words, even Jia Yingchun in the original book is easier to marry than Tanchun.

Therefore, unless it is the mother-in-law or the father-in-law who speaks, the Shang family will never reach out.

He was afraid that when the time came, he would spend countless efforts, and the result would not be a person inside and out, and he would not be pleasing in many ways.

Xia Jingui saw that the Shang family cared about Jia Huan, so he immediately stood up and thanked the Shang family: "It's still my sister-in-law who pities us." Now our family is not as good as before, even my sister-in-law has a heart, and what she may be able to help is really limited. ”

The Shang family hurriedly asked Zheng Jing's Fuxia Jingui to get up, and said, "Brother and sister are really polite. It's not easy for you, you have to take care of the family, and you have to be busy inside and out, as for Huan'er, he has Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou to take care of, even if it is you and me, there are only a few things that can be done. As he spoke, he sat down with Xia Jingui.

Xia Jingui stood up, took another seat, sat down, and said: "Speaking of which, Huan'er is not small, but what kind of good girl is there in the countryside?" Now Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou are also worried. By the way, I remember that Uncle Lin is about the same age as Huan'er, and he is Tanhua and No. 1, and now he has a good future, I'm afraid that this family who says he is close to has already broken through the threshold, right? ”

Shang said: "Brother and sister don't know? Back then, when the eldest lord of Dongfu died, he entrusted his fourth sister to the Lin family before the sickbed, hoping that the Lin family could take care of the four sisters. The fourth sister is the eldest sister of the clan, in terms of identity, among the sisters of this generation, the fourth sister is the highest, if the eldest lord in the house is there, the fourth sister will definitely participate in the election. However, today's fourth sister, like Sister Yun and Sister Lin, is an orphan girl whose parents died, and her name is taken from the booklet. The uncle of the Lin family is also affectionate and righteous, and the two families have already agreed that they will go to the government to make a marriage letter when the fourth sister is married. Now, the two families are waiting for Brother Lin to be older, so that they can have happy events. ”

Xia Jingui said: "The fourth sister was originally given to the uncle of the Lin family? ”

Shang said: "Yes." Although Brother Lin is the Meng of Aunt Lin, how old was he when Aunt Lin died? At that time, wasn't it the eldest master of Dongfu who instructed him in his homework? Therefore, the fourth sister is not only the cousin of the Lin family, but also the daughter of the teacher. This matter was opened by the uncle of the Lin family himself. ”

Xia Jingui said: "The fourth sister is really a blessing. As soon as I entered the door, I was the official's wife. ”

Shang said: "I also owe it to the eldest lord of Dongfu who loves his daughter, and prepared for the fourth sister early." Brother Lin is also worthy of the Lin family, a true gentleman. ”

Xia Jingui also nodded again and again.

Tanchun didn't expect that Xichun, who was so much younger than him, had already decided on his marriage, and suddenly felt that it was as if he had been soaked in ice water in the harsh winter of Sanjiu, and the cold air was coming out from the inside of his bones, and his whole body was icy.

Jia Baoyu said: "Since the matter of the fourth sister has been decided, can you ask your sister-in-law for a favor and show the third sister as well?" ”

Tanchun was stunned at first, and then overjoyed. If it weren't for Shang in front of him, he would have almost cried with joy. He felt that for so many years, the flattery of Jia Baoyu could now be exchanged for this sentence, which was not in vain.

Over the years, he has been delayed year after year, and there is no hope in sight. Tanchun is going to despair of his future. (To be continued......)
