Chapter 15.52 Marriage
For Mrs. Wang, her husband's future and son's marriage is a big deal, and for Xia Jingui, it is a big deal to exclude dissidents and dominate her husband, but for the Marquis of Rongguo's mansion, Jia Zheng's promotion and Jia Baoyu's marriage are not as important as Lin Yuzhong's.
This time, Lin Yu did quite well in the exam, he was in the Beigong Academy, that is, the Jingshi to take the exam, although he was not Xie Yuan, but he was also in the top five, much better than the top ten in the previous college exam, even Shi Xiangyun said: "Brother Lin is getting smoother and smoother the more he takes the exam, maybe in Xingbang High School next year, there will be a father and son double probe tweed." β
When Mother Jia heard this, she was very happy, and said, "Where, your eldest brother Lin is still young." He asked Lin Daiyu again: "Lin girl, you can be regarded as having survived, and your affairs can be handled." β
Whenever she thinks of Lin Daiyu's marriage, Jia's mother can't help but think of Jia Baoyu's marriage. Jia Baoyu's marriage is too anxious.
Lin Daiyu had already blushed below and said, "Old lady, my granddaughter's affairs are not in a hurry. β
Jia Mu said: "Nonsense, you are fifteen, it's not too late to start watching people." If it's delayed for a year or two, it's too late. β
When Shi Xiangyun heard this, his face couldn't help but change.
Mother Jia was talking about Lin Daiyu, but when she heard Shi Xiangyun's ears, she was not talking about him. Lin Daiyu is fifteen years old this year, why isn't he Shi Xiangyun fifteen years old? Lin Daiyu's birthday is concerned about Jia's mother, and Jia Jiu is in charge of the ceremony, but what about Shi Xiangyun? The fifteenth birthday is just over after eating the birthday noodles, and the ceremony is not even a shadow.
Shi Xiangyun himself knows that this is because his uncles and aunts are there. He is a person with a family to rely on, so it is inconvenient for Jia Jiu to go over his uncle and aunt to do it, but this is uncomfortable.
But. Shi Xiangyun, who has experienced so many things, is also older, and he is no longer a child of the old days. He also knew that no matter how innocent and delicate he was, he couldn't pour everything out like before. At least now, Shi Xiangyun saw that Jia's mother was so concerned about Lin Daiyu's affairs, even if she felt uncomfortable. I just sat with a smile.
As for what he thought in his heart, only he knew.
Which girl who has not been out of the cabinet is not ashamed to answer when she mentions her marriage, even if she has an idea in her heart. In terms of etiquette, they must also act as shy and difficult to speak, at least, when they are in front of others.
Lin Daiyu is a serious lady. He is no exception. He kept his head down. looked shy and embarrassed, listening to Jia's mother mention his own marriage, and then talk about Lin Yu's marriage.
Jia Mu said: "Your younger brother is still young, but he is already a lifter, and his future prospects are naturally limitless." It's just that he is too young, if he goes to take the general examination and the palace examination in the coming year, if he doesn't win, I'm afraid he will lose his spirit. If you win, I'm afraid it won't be good to make up for the official. After six years, he is old, but I am afraid that the boss will have forgotten about it. According to me, it's better to take the exam a few years later, and as for now, let's take care of his marriage first. He married a daughter-in-law, and you can be a little more relaxed. β
Lin Daiyu had already discussed this matter with Lin Yu, and immediately stood up and said, "The old lady's kindness, my granddaughter doesn't know, even my brother is very grateful." It's just that Yu'er is a heart-hearted child, and he once said that in the current situation in our family, we need someone to stand up and support the door early. His elder brother is also the son of the Lin family, and this is his responsibility. Therefore, next year's exam, Yu'er has long been ready to give it a try, if it is high school, it is naturally excellent, even if it is not successful, you can come back in three years. I know that half of my brother's determination is for the sake of me, my sister. Although I can't help him elsewhere, I also hope that in the next few days, he will be able to study well and play well in the coming year. β
When Jia Mu heard this, Fang was silent.
Although Lin Daiyu said this a little bit of a loss of face, but in the face of the hope and opportunity of the rise of the Lin family, as the daughter of the Lin family, Lin Daiyu of course took care of her family first. Compared to the future of the Lin family, his own thin noodles are really nothing.
Jia Mu really wants to be a matchmaker.
Now that Jia Baoyu has already married, and the Jia family does not have a boy of the same age and identity as Lin Daiyu, Lin Daiyu's marriage can naturally be put aside. What Jia's mother thought in her heart was to marry Xichun to Lin Yu.
Jia's mother thought in her heart that when Lin Ruhai was alive, he had already continued the strings, and the relationship between the Lin family and the Jia family was also weak. If it weren't for Lin Ruhai entrusting his children's family business to Jia Yu, maybe it is still unknown whether he, the old woman, would be able to see his granddaughter.
If the Lin family fell silent, of course Jia's mother would not bother to be a matchmaker for Lin Daiyu and Lin Yu's sister and brother, but now, Lin Yu will be in high school at the age of thirteen, and if it is high school in the coming year, it will be a young jinshi, and others may be afraid of sitting on the cold bench, but what kind of people are their Jia family? As long as Lin Yu doesn't have a dou who can't be supported like Jia Zheng, he will naturally have a bright future waiting for him in the future.
Therefore, at this time, it has become necessary to strengthen the relationship with the Lin family.
Although Tanchun is Jia's mother's granddaughter, he is a maidservant after all. If Lin Yu is not so promising, if Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang are more similar, it is impossible to say that Jia's mother will fight for Tanchun. But in fact, Jia Mu also knows very well that for many years, Jia Zheng has not said anything, and he just thinks that Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai can bring limited benefits. As for Xia Jingui, if it weren't for the Xia family being able to help Jia Yuanchun, if it weren't for the fact that the two families exchanged tokens and didn't even start Nacai, the good news of Jia Yuanchun would have spread in the palace, and Jia Zheng would have won the official position and Mrs. Wang had a fate, Jia Zheng would not have nodded at all and let Jia Baoyu marry this woman.
Jia Mu knows very well that Jia Zheng is very good, but if there are not enough benefits, Jia Zheng will not let Tanchun Xu people at all, just like Jia Zheng sent Jia Yuanchun to the palace in the first place. This son is simply a person who can't afford to be early.
Therefore, compared to Tanchun, who is older and has a pair of difficult parents, Jia's mother is more willing to be a matchmaker with Xichun. In Jia's mother's view, Xichun is the young lady from Ning Guofu. is only a few years younger than Lin Yu, and his family background is enough. I don't know how many times higher the amount of cherished spring than Tanchun. Compared with people outside who don't know the roots, Xichun is such a smart girl. may be more satisfying to the Lin family siblings.
Even though Lin Daiyu refused, Jia's mother still didn't give up, and specially found Jia Jing.
It can be said that Jia Jing returned to Ningguo Mansion, except for the days of ancestor worship, Jia Mu never stepped into Ningguo Mansion at all. Arguably. This time, for the relationship between the Jia family and the Lin family, Jia's mother was a little more sincere than in the original book to Lin Daiyu.
These days. Jia Jing was also worried.
He knows his own business.
Don't say anything else, let's just talk about Qin Keqing's face and identity, Jia Jing has never mentioned it to anyone. Every time I think about it, I am terrified. Wake up in the middle of the night. Jia Jing often sat alone until dawn.
Every time at this time, Jia Jing will think of his dead son Jia Zhen, he can't wait to stuff him into his old wife's stomach before this son is born, and save this son from looking for death by himself, and also put his sister Xichun and son Jia Rong on board.
In the past few years, even if he didn't swallow Jindan, because of excessive worry, Jia Jing's original gray hair had already turned white. is obviously nearly ten years younger than Jia's mother. Jia Jing looks much older than Jia's mother.
Now, Jia's mother suddenly mentioned Xichun's marriage. Jia Jing's heart was also moved.
The situation outside is treacherous, Jia Jiu knows it, and Jia Jing can also see it. But none of them said it. Jia Jing knew that even his grandson didn't know about it, but since his grandson married Qin Keqing, his grandson was afraid that he wouldn't be able to escape. He himself is a lot older, and only Jia Rong, his own grandson, and Xichun's daughter, are left, and the grandson can't escape, but the daughter is young and may not be able to escape. Therefore, hearing Jia's mother say this, Jia Jing's heart was moved.
If it were other people, even if they would not fall into trouble when their Ningguo Mansion was in trouble, they would choose to withdraw from their relatives, just like the Xue family did to Wang Xifeng at the beginning. Even if there is someone who has not withdrawn from his family because of his reputation, he is afraid that his daughter will be tormented for the rest of his life if he marries him.
After all, his daughter Xichun is a concubine, a girl from the clan branch, and if she marries in the future, she will definitely be a wife to her son-in-law. Who wants to let their sister-in-law hinder the future for outsiders?
On the contrary, it is Lin Yu, although he is the son of the Lin family, but in the end, he is the eldest son, and the character of the Lin family is trustworthy. If Xichun is promised to Lin Yu, their Ningguo Mansion will be defeated in the future, and Xichun will not be lost.
With such thoughts, Jia Jing became more and more satisfied with Lin Yu, and finally asked Jia Jiu to find out what the Lin family sisters and brothers meant before the Double Ninth Festival.
It's not that Jia Jing doesn't know the number of etiquette, but he really can't find a more desirable candidate than Lin Yu.
Lin Daiyu didn't expect that after he politely rejected his grandmother, it was his cousin who came to the door in person, and he didn't hesitate.
Of course, Lin Daiyu knew how much effort this cousin had put into their brother and sister, so she couldn't directly say her refusal, but she was unwilling to repay this kindness with her brother's life.
Jia Jiu also saw Lin Daiyu's embarrassment, so he said: "Sister, this matter is related to the fourth sister and the life of Brother Lin, why don't we invite Brother Lin to come and ask him what he thinks?" I think Brother Lin is very thoughtful, and he may not have his own ideas about this matter, you see......"
Lin Daiyu knows that her younger brother is always thoughtful, smart and assertive, he is an older sister after all, and her life is for her younger brother to live by himself. So, after hesitation, he nodded.
Lin Yu came to Xiangxue Villa, and after listening to Jia Jiu's words, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "I remember, I asked my sister to tell my cousin that I am going to take the exam next year." β
Jia Jiu replied: "It is because I have confidence in my brother's ability that the old lady will be this matchmaker." As for the eldest uncle of Dongfu, there is actually another reason. β
Lin Yu raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What's with? β
Jia Jiu said: "Naturally, it's because the eldest uncle hopes that the fourth sister can avoid the next disaster. β
"Huh?"
Lin Yu didn't expect Jia Jiu to say this, but put away the polite smile on his face and said, "Cousin is honest." I wonder if my cousin knows about it? β
Jia Jiu replied: "I don't know much about the specifics. I only know that after the eldest uncle was admitted to the Jinshi, he gave up being an official and devoted himself to Taoism, because it was related to the old Prince Yizhong. And Rong's daughter-in-law has a close relationship with Prince Lao Yizhong. The eldest uncle doesn't know if he will be angry from above, and he doesn't know if Rong'er will be liquidated by the top, but the fourth sister is still young, and there are still three or four years to go, if something happens in the coming year, the fourth sister can't hide from it. That's why the eldest uncle thought of this method and allowed the fourth sister to be allowed early. The eldest uncle will choose his younger brother because of his younger brother's character. As for me, our family has been separated, and although the fourth sister was raised by me, she is not even a clan sister. Although my younger brother was not born to my aunt, I also watched him grow up. No matter what my brother chooses, I don't have much to say. β
Lin Yu said: "Then what is my cousin doing on this trip?" β
Jia Jiu replied: "Because it is not easy to marry. There are few men with good skills and good character, but there are very few good daughters in the world. You say, there are so many girls coming and going in this house, how many people can be worthy of a good word? Sister Bao, Sister Yun, and the third sister, although they are all beautiful in name, Sister Yun is still the daughter of Miss Gonghou's official eunuch, but his character is enough to be a good word? Even if it's me, apart from the Daomen behind me and the disputes of various forces, am I worthy of this good word? Brother Lin, you just need to think about whether the character of the fourth sister is worthy of you. As for the rest, it's just a constraint for you. β
Jia Jiu didn't stay long, he smiled as soon as he left.
Lin Daiyu looked at her younger brother in surprise and said, "You'er, you ......"
Lin Yu said: "It's okay, sister, I just didn't expect that the second sister would actually see me through." β
"What the second sister said ......"
Lin Yu said: "Actually, the second sister is right, the fourth sister is two years younger than me, she can see clearly, sit firmly, and stand upright, in terms of character, she is indeed an excellent fiancΓ©e candidate." The population of Dongfu is simple, and the fourth sister is also of high seniority, and the people over there don't dare to trouble him, and he will be liquidated in the future, and it has nothing to do with the fourth sister. Sister, you go back and let people hit two golden geese to send to the fourth sister, I will take the exam next year, the fourth sister is also young, not a good time to accept the lottery. When the two families have a tacit understanding, if there is really something in the future, I will protect him. (To be continued......)
