Chapter 221: Lonely
With Jia Cong's timely intervention, Lin Daiyu's ceremony was successfully completed.
At the same time, the upper circle in the capital basically knew that the daughters of the Lin family could see each other, and they could start to contact anyone who was interested.
Obviously, Jia Cong's pacification effect is very average.
When Phoenix Egg followed the old lady back to the house, his face was very gloomy.
It is said that after returning to the house, there was a lot of trouble, and the old lady had to take Sister Lin to the house, and what she said was very unpleasant.
But even so, the old lady was not angry, but calmed the phoenix egg, and then took Shi Xiangyun over.
Gee......
"By the way, do you have any plans to marry the Shi family in the second room?"
Returning to the Provincial Family Hospital's Preparation Management Office, Shi Ze, who happened to be optimistic about Shi Xiangyun's cousin, asked casually: "I heard that Miss Shi and Second Brother Bao are very close!" β
"My father and mother have such thoughts!"
Shi Ze didn't care and said: "My aunt often takes Xiangyun girls to Rongfu, and it seems that she also has such thoughts!" β
"It's better to let Shi Hou and the old lady and the second wife ask it in person!"
Jia Cong reminded: "I heard that the second wife takes the marriage of the second brother Bao very seriously! β
"Don't worry, boss, I'll tell my mother when I go back!"
Shi Ze still didn't pay much attention to it, and responded casually.
Jia Cong shook his head and didn't say more, everything that should be reminded had already been reminded, and as for Shi Xiangyun's final result, he didn't want to interfere too much.
Obviously, in the eyes of the Shi family, the old lady often takes Shi Xiangyun to the Rong Mansion, and the meaning of making a pair with the phoenix egg is very obvious, and they are naturally satisfied.
It's just that they would never have thought that neither the old lady nor the second wife would have this mind, or they just regarded Shi Xiangyun as a spare tire.
This hand is indeed a bit excessive.
Although Jia Cong is not an eventful person, it is still okay to encounter a reminder, and as for the reaction of the Shi family, it is not something he can control.
This year is the year of the examination, there is no county examination and government examination, and the pressure on the students in the clan school is not so great, they only need to complete their normal homework, and have more time to participate in the construction supervision of the provincial hospital.
With the concerted efforts of Jia Cong and his younger brothers, as well as the assistance of ethnic students, the provincial family courtyard was renovated with the sealing of the Wujin Mansion as the core, and after half a year of hard work, all the planned construction and renovation were finally completed.
Jia Cong handed over the list of expenses, and nearly 700,000 taels of silver were used cleanly.
Then he took the little brothers and quit safely, and after that, there was nothing to do with him.
Sure enough, it is worthy of the old lady and the second wife, and their ability to cross the river and tear down the bridge is first-class.
Jia Cong didn't care much about this, his younger brothers all made a lot of money, and they were satisfied and didn't care about these at all, they were really happy.
Next, he will be busy with the marriage of the Spring Festival.
Originally, according to the old lady's idea, she wanted Yingchun to postpone the marriage, and it was not too late to marry after Yuanchun Niangniang's relatives were married.
In this way, Yingchun is also an unmarried girl who has seen Niangniang, and her identity and status can be elevated.
Jia Cong has a different opinion: "Since the marriage has been decided, there is no need to change it at will!" β
"After Yingchun met with the provincial mother, what if her status was raised, can she still blow up flowers with her temperament?"
"Although the old lady is an elder, and the junior should not be indiscriminately beaked, but some things have to be guarded against!"
"Liu Xianglian's performance is good, and now he has become an eight-rank military attachΓ©, our big house can easily suppress it, such a son-in-law is the best!"
After saying a few words, the old man who was originally a little shaken, and Lian Er put out his mind and nodded in support of Jia Cong's idea.
In private, when discussing the marriage of Yingchun with Lian Er, no outsider said it more explicitly: "Yuanchun Niangniang is the second concubine after all, who knows what she has in mind, will she use Yingchun's sister's marriage to make some articles?" β
Seeing that Lian Er didn't quite understand, Jia Cong sneered: "For example, temporarily repentance of marriage and sending it to the palace, or as a means to win over some court ministers!" β
"No, it won't!"
Chain Er was dumbfounded when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Yuanchun shouldn't be like this!" β
"What about the old lady, what about the second wife?"
A cold light flickered in Jia Cong's eyes, and he was never afraid to speculate on the thoughts of others with the worst result, and sneered: "If the second master of politics has the opportunity to be promoted to the fourth rank or even from the third rank, is Sister Yingchun an additive?" β
This......
Chain Er was speechless for a while, and his face was very ugly with alternating blue and white.
"Even if there are no bad things, the so-called time changes, after Yuanchun Niangniang's family is married, the momentum in the house will be on a higher level, will the old lady have other thoughts at that time, can the second brother guarantee it?"
Chain Two is equally silent, apparently unassuming.
"In order to avoid long nights and dreams, it is better to follow the time discussed with Liu Xianglian before!"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "This guy's performance is really good, as long as he has the opportunity and ability, it is easy to climb up by taking the military attache route, or an official trained by ourselves, rest assured!" β
Liu Xianglian's performance was indeed not bad, and after her body was raised, she joined the Five Cities Terracotta Division as soon as possible and became a small leader of the Nine Grades.
With his ability and communication skills, it is easy to gain trust, and have a certain prestige, and then it is all kinds of credit.
Here, I have to say that Liu Xianglian has rich experience in the rivers and lakes, which makes him mix like a fish in water at the bottom of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, and it is easy to make a lot of contributions.
He doesn't know the situation at the bottom of the capital, but some of the methods of humming and abducting are difficult to escape his eyes.
In addition, with Ni Er, a well-known green-skinned gangster on Ningrong Street, he was promoted to an eight-rank military attache in less than half a year because of his merits.
With his strength and ability, and the secret help of Jia Cong and Lian Er, I believe that it will not be a problem to become the deputy commander of Qipin in a year.
Even now, Jia Cong can use this guy to arrange for some of his younger brothers who have talent for martial arts to enter his command to serve as the low-level soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, as long as he makes a few merits, it is not difficult to mix with the official body.
In such a situation, it is mainly a matter of Yingchun's temperament, Jia Cong feels that there is no need to make extraneous branches, and it is better to get married at the original time.
What if you've seen Yuanchun Niangniang?
It's just a kind of bragging capital, and Yuan Chun is not a concubine or a queen, and the glory that can be added to his younger brothers and sisters is really limited.
It's not that there are no younger siblings in the second room, not to mention the phoenix eggs of the younger brother, but they just want to lift their sisters, and don't they also have a strong temperament to explore the spring?
After Chain Two is completely convinced, things are simple.
The matter of getting married in the spring was soon taken over by Wang Xifeng, and she was happy to be so busy and able to show her ability and ability.
On the day of the spring wedding, the Rong Mansion was not very jubilant, only the general's mansion had a festive red, the eldest lord and the eldest lady did not come forward, everything was presided over by Wang Xifeng and the second couple.
Amid the roaring sound of firecrackers, the big red sedan chair slowly left the general's mansion, followed by thirty-six dowries.
The attitude of the people in Ningrong Street is average, only the children happily rush into the firecrackers that are still exploding, and at the same time keep circling around the big red sedan chair, and they cheer when they receive a piece of sugar thrown by the bride.
Jia Cong took his little brother, raised his head one by one, guarded the sedan chair with a fierce momentum, and followed Liu Xianglian, who was riding on a horse in front of him with a happy face, to the Liu family's house.
"Who's marrying a girl?"
An outsider passed by, and couldn't help but stop curiously, and asked the Jia clan people around him.
"The lady of the big house of Rongfu, the momentum is still a little small!"
The man pouted, shook his head and said, "It's only thirty-six dowry, some of them are a little less, and the big house is also stingy!" β
"It's a lot, it's already very good for a concubine to have so many dowries!"
Passers-by had different opinions, but they just pulled left and right, pointed to the gate of Rongfu not far away, and said curiously: "Why is there no festive red at the gate?" β
"Who knows, maybe it's too late to prepare!"
The people of the tribe were a little impatient, and at this time, the general's mansion set up a flowing water seat, and immediately left the passers-by and hurried to occupy a place.
"The old lady and the second wife are a little excessive!"
While entertaining a few female guests, Wang Xifeng was dissatisfied with the chain two who were beside him: "What do you say, welcome the spring ......"
"Forget it, so be it!"
Chain Er waved his hand and said indifferently: "There is a third brother who supports Yingchun, Liu Xianglian still dares to blow up the stab, and the hammer can't kill him!" β
As for the coldness in the house, it's not a big deal at all.
I just hope that in the future, when Liu Xianglian will gain momentum and mix well in the spring, just don't say strange and sour things.
Didn't you just follow the old lady's advice and wait for Yuanchun Niangniang to marry after she was married?
Or can the third brother see it clearly, who knows if there will be other accidents at that time?
For such a little thing, the granddaughter who married was faceless, and Chain Er was really a little chilled.
If it weren't for Jia Cong's strong request, he even spent a lot of money to urgently purchase a batch of silk and useful things to add a few dowries, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.
The granddaughter of the dignified Rongfu is married, even if it is just a concubine, the dowry of more than 20 is enough to be embarrassing, fortunately, the third brother Cong has been prepared, otherwise it will be a big shame this time.
Of course, he is also a little dissatisfied with Wang Xifeng, since he handed over the matter of Yingchun's marriage to the person next to him, Wang Xifeng has to do a good job, instead of being as decent as Yingchun's dowry, is there still a little bit of silver and objects in the public middle school?
Jia Cong took a little brother, followed behind the big red sedan chair, and came to Liu Xianglian's house all the way.
The attitude of the Liu family of Liguo Gong was also quite cold, and he just sent a steward to congratulate him, this is not to drink happy wine, it is almost like a feud.
Obviously, Liu Xianglian had been prepared, and her expression was not affected in the slightest as usual.
Fortunately, the group of noble sons and brothers that Liu Xianglian knew were here, and they were not too lonely, but there was one less phoenix egg by their side, a little less fun, and of course there may be some less trouble......
