Chapter 588: Mourning
It was after the early hours of the night, Ningguo Mansion, and the bells and drums were ringing.
When I got up early in the morning, the neighbors and passers-by found that the gate of Ningguo Mansion, which was still full of joy and wanton sprinkling money yesterday, was hung with a white cloth overnight.
Rongguo Mansion, although it was not hung white, but also took down the red lantern at the door.
As a result, everyone knew that the father of Jia Qing, a first-class Shenwei general of Ning Guofu and a young prodigy of the Emperor Taishang, died last night!
Early in the morning, Aunt Xue, who had simply cleaned up, rushed to Rongqing Hall.
She saw all the blank glances on the road, but she didn't pay much attention.
She originally knew that Jia Fu was in such a hurry to propose marriage, and there was an element of joy for Jia Jingchong. But so what, as long as Jia Qing can be her rightful son-in-law, she is still willing to eat this loss.
But who knew that Jia Jing would die immediately, at this time, in addition to the reputation of the Xue family and Baochai, she cared more about the attitude of the Jia family.
"Auntie's wife."
"Is the old lady up?"
"The old lady got up early this morning and is talking to her now."
Aunt Xue nodded and entered the house.
As soon as they met, Mother Jia stood up and said to Aunt Xue, "Mrs. Auntie, you have been wronged......
Aunt Xue was shocked, how could she dare to accept Mother Jia's gift, hurriedly went over to help, and said, "How can the old lady be like this, tormenting the younger generation......"
Aunt Xue was rude, and Mother Jia didn't force it, in fact, she wasn't sincere.
"Alas, I originally looked at the two children, a man and a woman, who were originally a match made in heaven, so I did this family business, which was also to deepen the affection between you and me.
Who knew that his father went at this time, and now, if he doesn't wronged Baochai girl, I am really uneasy. ”
Aunt Xue opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. It's not that she didn't suspect that the Jia family was deceitful in this matter. However, Jia's family is originally higher than the Xue family, and Jia Qing himself has no problem, this kind of "cheating marriage", others don't believe it when he says it!
That's it, now Jia Mu is like this, whether there is one or not, she blames herself first, the so-called Venerable apologizes to the lowly, how can she be embarrassed to say other things?
"This, no one expected, how can it be blamed on the old lady, the old lady is also very kind.
It's just Baochai......"
Fame is everything for a woman, and the impact of this situation on Baochai is really great, even Aunt Xue can't say the words "it's okay".
Jia Mu said: "I understand, I think who in these two mansions dares to gossip." The marriage between you and me was originally Brother Qing's father's last wish, and now his aunt's wife has fulfilled it, so that his father can leave with peace of mind and protect his filial piety.
No matter how you say this, it can be regarded as a favor that our Jia family owes the Xue family and his aunt's wife, if anyone dares to say that the east and west in this matter, I will be the first to forgive! ”
When Aunt Xue heard this, her heart instantly calmed.
According to Jia's mother's statement, it is not that "rushing to be happy is not a failure", but that Jia Qing wants to marry the daughter of the Xue family in order to fulfill his father's dying wish, and the Xue family is fulfilled, and Jia Jing is smiling......
In this way, no one can say anything about the reason, and it also preserves Baochai's reputation.
At this moment, Aunt Xue was very grateful to Mother Jia from the bottom of her heart.
Mother Jia looked at Aunt Xue's expression and was very satisfied. She knew what was going on, and now that it was really a good relationship, Jia Jing drove to the west, and really responded to the words of that person, saying that Jia Mu believed in God and Buddha, even if she didn't believe it before, she should believe it after experiencing it, so she was sure that this marriage was not wrong.
Previously, due to some selfishness, she did not tell the truth to the Xue family, which caused the reputation of the Xue family to be damaged now.
In terms of composition, this is indeed an act of cheating marriage. But Jia's mother naturally won't blame herself for this, no matter what you say, this marriage is taken advantage of by the Xue family, Jia Qing's marriage she has already made a good deal, and now that it has been taken away by the Xue family, she will not feel guilty because of a little thing.
However, Baochai will be the wife of Jia Jianing's Mansion in the future, and she will naturally not see her reputation damaged. So she had already calculated this set of rhetoric, and she had just made a string of words with Mrs. Wang.
Looking at the situation now, the effect is really good.
She didn't do anything, not only eliminated Aunt Xue's suspicions, but also won the gratitude of the other party, which is the cleverness of her methods.
"Just now I discussed with your sister, and I am going to go over to take a look, it is the first time for Brother Qing to do such a big thing, I'm afraid that he is not thoughtful, or will my aunt also go over to take a look? How can I say it, he can be regarded as the quasi-son-in-law of his aunt's wife, haha, his aunt's wife is not good at watching him make a fool of himself, right? This son went over to help him, and told him to be grateful to you, the mother-in-law, for the rest of his life, hehehe. ”
Jia Mu smiled and proposed.
Aunt Xue thought about it, and by the way, let's see what Jia Qing's attitude was. Compared with Jia's mother's attitude, she was more concerned about Jia Qing's opinion. On Jia's mother's side, it is only related to the face of the Xue family, and Jia Qing's attitude is related to Baochai's happiness!
Her man died, and now she guards the Xue family's huge property, counting on a pair of children, so she can't be careless.
……
In the Grand View Garden, the sisters also gathered together to worry about Baochai.
"Alas, I originally pointed to the fact that I would soon be able to drink the happy wine of the second brother and sister Bao, but I am afraid that I will not be able to drink it for a while."
Qiu Shuangzhai, Tanchun said.
For Jia Qing's lightning-like marriage, and the object is still Sister Bao, who accompanies her day and night, she has a feeling of being separated from the world and unreal.
Yingchun also said: "Yes, the second brother and the fourth sister will have to keep filial piety for three years, and in three years, Sister Bao and the second brother will not be able to get married." ”
Tanchun became more and more melancholy. At this time, Baochai returned home, Daiyu went home again, and Xichun also entered Ningguofu early in the morning to guard filial piety, and the originally lively garden was instantly only left with her, Yingchun and Xiangyun.
When she turned around, she saw Xiangyun bowing her head there and saying nothing, so she pulled her and said, "Yun girl, what do you want?" ”
"Oh? Ah, I'm thinking, I'm thinking that Sister Zibao must be uncomfortable in her heart this time, let's take a look at her together? ”
Tanchun didn't care, and said, "That's what you said, this matter is too unfortunate, let's go see Sister Bao together." ”
"Well, let's go."
……
In spring, Daiyu is prone to cough disease.
Even if she came back in the name of serving Lin Ruhai, it was a pity that her body would not be in charge of her body. Xu suddenly changed the factors of the environment, and she coughed slightly that night.
Zijuan brought her a bowl of soup and medicine, but when she came back, her face was heavy. Daiyu said: "What's the matter?" ”
Zijuan said: "I heard that the second master's father has gone, and the family has begun to mourn. ”
Daiyu was stunned for a moment and said, "Which second master?" ”
"Of course it's Second Master Qing!"
Zijuan was speechless, could it be that she could still be the second master of Bao?
Speaking of which, Jia Zhengke is very healthy! Zijuan couldn't even imagine in her heart what Jia Zheng's braids looked like......
With a stirring spirit, Zijuan quickly threw this disrespectful thought out of her mind.
Daiyu listened and didn't react for a while.
His father died......
Yes, his father had always been plagued by many diseases. Now that he was gone, he didn't know how sad he should be.
Daiyu felt sad for Jia Qing.
Zijuan is not as sentimental as Daiyu, she only cares about things related to her.
In this way, the second master will have a three-year filial piety period to keep. Within three years, not only will the second master not be able to have a good time, but the most important thing is that his marriage with Miss Bao will be postponed...... Girl? ”
Zijuan found that Daiyu was a little absent-minded.
"So what, whether her wedding date is postponed or not, what does it have to do with me!"
Daiyu blushed suddenly.
This stinky girl, if she has nothing to do, she will use this to make fun of her, damn.
She thought Zijuan was making fun of her.
If Zijuan knew Daiyu's thoughts, she would definitely be aggrieved in her heart, but unfortunately she didn't know.
"Girl, have you forgotten that the second master said to the girl that day, let the girl believe in him, and give him another three years......
Didn't the girl wonder why he asked the girl to give her three years for no reason? ”
Daiyu frowned and said, "Then what do you tell him for?" ”
Zijuan walked up to Daiyu and whispered: "I think that the second master also has a girl in his heart, and he wants to use three years to marry a girl......"
Bang, one of Daiyu's favorite books was touched by her and fell to the ground, Daiyu stood up all of a sudden, and "glared" at Zijuan: "What are you talking nonsense here, it's too unreasonable, you dare to talk nonsense like this, see if I don't, don't ......"
The more Daiyu "scolded", the quieter she became. She always knew that Zijuan could guess her thoughts, but there had never been a time when Zijuan said it as straightforwardly as just now.
Marry me...... We're brother and sister......
Moreover, he has already married Sister Bao, woo, is it still possible......
Daiyu glared at Zijuan for a while, but she couldn't do anything to her after all, the roots of her neck were red, and she wanted to run away when she pushed Zijuan away.
"Girl......"
Zijuan grabbed her and continued to whisper but firmly: "Is the girl really going to give up?" I couldn't guess the second master's heart before, and I also support the girl's complete death, because since it is destined to be fruitless, it is good for everyone to die. However, now that we can clearly feel the second master's intentions, why don't we try to give the second master a chance? This is the girl's last chance......"
Daiyu struggled twice, and when she heard the words "last chance", she finally slowly quieted down.
"How do you know what he means, and if you're wrong, wouldn't it be boring."
Daiyu's head hung down to her neck. As soon as she said this, even if she admitted that she liked Jia Qing, even if Zijuan was the only one on the other side, it would take great courage for her.
