Number of romantic figures

Chapter 623 T-Scroll A Thunderbolt From the Blue Sky
In the marriage between big families these days, a very important factor is the strength of both families.

If Lin Ruhai died, Lin Daiyu would become an orphan, lonely, and the Lin family had no power to rely on for several generations, and only the Jia family could rely on. This is also Lin Ruhai's true thinking.

No matter how excellent Feng Ziying is now, excellence is only Feng Ziying herself. In a sense, being too outstanding may not be a good thing for her daughter, which means that the competition in a certain sense will be more intense, especially when there is another In the case of Shen's daughter.

Feng Ziying is also very reliable now, and she is also very infatuated with Daiyu, but as a man, Lin Ruhai is also very clear that it is irrational to place these on a man's sensibility.

Youth is like water, even a beautiful face will wither, and Daiyu's temper is not too good, Lin Ruhai can only say that there will be problems in the marriage of the two in the future.

So on the one hand, try to support and help Feng Ziying, so that the other party will remain grateful, and on the other hand, also help the Jia family, which can be regarded as a precaution.

If there were any accidents, at any rate, Mother Jia was Daiyu's grandmother, and Jia She and Jia Zheng were also Daiyu's direct uncle, so they would not sit idly by.

On this point, no matter whether it is Feng Ziying or Lin Ruhai, everyone is tacitly aware of it. Feng Ziying will not stop it if he knows it, because if he is in Lin Ruhai's position, he will think so.

What's more, it's hard to predict how the grievances between Emperor Yonglong, the Supreme Emperor, and Prince Yizhong will end.

Although judging from various signs, Emperor Yonglong has an absolute advantage over Prince Yizhong, but there are too many variables in this matter of seizing the throne. Prince Yizhong will not fail to understand this, but he will still go his own way, I am afraid It's not as simple as being self-willed and self-willed, he must also have other reliance.

He also has counselors and strategists under his command, who are also planning for him quietly, and there are many allies. Under such circumstances, a comeback may just happen overnight, so Jia Yuanchun's role in it is determined, and who will make the future Can you make it clear?

"If Brother Keng really wants to marry Miss Lin, it would be a good thing."

Jia Amnesty's mind is all on money, while Jia Zheng has to look a little further, it's just slightly different from his wife Yu's wish to marry a treasure girl, but it's better than marrying a woman who has nothing to do with Jia's family.

"Well, what the second brother said is also true. When Miss Lin marries Dalang of the Feng family, our Jia and Feng families will get closer in the future."

Jia Amnesty also recalled that the Feng family was on the rise, and Lin Daiyu was her niece after all, so she had nothing to rely on in the future, and this marriage with the Feng family meant that the Feng family would be considered as one with the Jia family.

A few days ago, some Shanxi businessmen came to ask about Lian'er. In fact, they saw that Lian'er was working for Feng Ziying, and they gave several gifts of great value, including 500 taels directly. The money made Jia She even more happy.

With this kind of relationship, I dare not say anything else, at least there will be no fewer people coming to the door to give gifts, and the Jia family can also rise. In Jia She's opinion, it is even far better than the concubine Jia Gui who entered the palace for no reason but didn't make much noise. benefits.

"It's just that Miss Lin's body is a little weak, so I'm afraid..." Jia Zheng sighed lightly and shook his head. Before, he thought that he would not be able to pass the test of Feng's mother Duan, but even if he passed now, if Miss Lin was born in the future It is also a big problem not to have a son.

Jia She's thoughts moved slightly, subconsciously thinking of her concubine Yingchun, but at this moment she couldn't say it out.

"Lian'er, you haven't told anyone else about this, have you?" Jia Zheng frowned. He originally wanted to help the Xue family get married, and by the way, he could also talk about Jian Yuanzi borrowing more money from the Xue family. , but now something is not easy to handle.

Jia Zheng asked his wife to talk to Aunt Xue before, but Xue's family said that they could only get 3 to [-] taels of silver, and they would not have any more, which was a bit embarrassing.

My elder brother has always insisted that Xue's family can lend one hundred and eighty thousand yuan, which is too big a gap, which makes it a little unpleasant. He just wants to make Bao girl marry Keng brother. With such credit, he can borrow five more Ten thousand taels of silver is a matter of course.

Unexpectedly, it turned into what it is now.

"Not yet, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate to keep this matter a secret?" Jia Lian said hesitantly: "Mr. Lin's health is not to say that he will die soon, but he probably won't survive the fall. Now Ziying and Sister Lin have made a decision. Dear, Mrs. Lin is no longer worried, I'm afraid the old ancestors should let me know sooner,..."

"It's best not to say anything for the time being. Second brother, I still have to go to the Xue family to decide on the amount of silver. If [-] is not enough, I will always have [-]. I will trouble my brothers and sisters to work hard again." Jia Amnesty said flatly.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng have discussed this matter, even if the Xue family thinks about it a little bit, it will be easier to borrow money.

If the Xue family is completely hopeless, unless Baoyu is allowed to marry Baochai, it may not be easy to borrow the twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver.

Naturally, Jia Lian didn't understand the method, but Jia Zheng certainly knew it, but he was really unwilling to use such somewhat despicable methods as his nature.

But the family counted their accounts with their fingers. To build a decent yard, the cost is really not insignificant. The initial estimate is 40 taels.

In the future, you can't say that the garden has been built, and the family will live on the northwest wind without eating or drinking. Therefore, the Gongzhong can't be drained all at once, and can only rely on borrowing.

This is another matter for his own daughter, and the elder brother thinks this way for his own sake, so Jia Zheng can only accept it.

*********
Xue Pan rushed into the room, startled the couple sitting around the round table and chatting gossip, Aunt Xue lowered her face, "Son, you're such an adult, why are you still so disrespectful?" Steady? I heard that you are much better now than before,..."

"Mother, sister, Ziying is back!"

Xue Pan stood still panting, looking at his sister with complicated eyes.

"I came back yesterday, and today I heard what Liu Erlang said in Daguanlou, so I rushed to Feng's mansion, but Feng's mansion said that I entered the palace early in the morning to attend the court meeting. Let's go out to the palace for dinner, and let people guard it, but I didn't expect the servants to come back and say that there are too many people guarding outside the palace gate, it is impossible to get close to it, and no one can be found,..."

"Ah, the Feng family is back?" Aunt Xue was also overjoyed, "It doesn't matter if you have official business, just be busy for a couple of days..."

Baochai's heart trembled, and her beautiful eyes were full of affection, "Brother, don't be so irritable. Brother Feng will definitely stay for a while when he comes back. There are a lot of things going on inside, so let's not bother him for the time being. When he is free,... "

"Sister!" Xue Pan was anxious, hesitant to speak.

He was originally a person who couldn't keep things going, his expression made Aunt Xue suspicious immediately, and Baochai was even more intelligent, her heart sank, knowing that her brother might hear some bad news again.

"Son, what's the matter?" Aunt Xue asked quickly, holding her son's hand.

"It's nothing, but my son thinks Ziying will be back, and I don't know how long he will be busy. Didn't the second brother Lian help him in Yangzhou, and his reputation has spread to the capital city? Jia's mansion He even received a lot of gifts,..." Xue Pan finally found a topic and wanted to change it.

Aunt Xue looked at her son suspiciously, as if she didn't believe it, and Baochai knew that this was definitely not the case, but it was hard for her to ask what happened in front of her.

It was so easy until Aunt Xue was sleepy and went to take a nap, only the brother and sister were left, and Xue Pan said angrily, "Sister, brother, I heard Na Baoxiang say that Ziying and sister Lin are engaged, have you ever been married?" Know?"

It was like a huge hammer hitting Baochai's heart. Although Feng Ziying had told him before that she would marry Lin Daiyu, but when there was no news from her side, there was news of Feng Ziying and Lin Daiyu's marriage. It still made Baochai a little hard to accept.

Her face paled slightly, Baochai tried her best to calm her mind, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Brother, why did you say this, my sister already knew about this, didn't my brother know too?"

"Hmph, the engagement between Ziying and Lin's younger sister is certainly unpleasant, but why did the news spread in Jia's house that the girl from the Shi family might marry Ziying?"

If the news just now was just expected and just made people feel uncomfortable, then this news is like a bolt from the blue, how could it be so?
Baochai's body trembled violently, and she subconsciously supported the round table with her hands to stabilize her body.

There has never been anything groundless in this world. If it comes from the Jia family, there must be some unknown things here.

"Brother, where did you get this news?" Baochai couldn't hold herself any longer, her lips trembled slightly, she leaned on the edge of the table and sat down, holding the sweat towel tightly with one hand.

"A while ago, I went to Ningguo Mansion to find Brother Zhen and Brother Rong, and I happened to meet Jia Qiang, who was also very familiar with the boys in Rongguo Mansion. I heard that he left the second sister-in-law of Lian. In order to get ready to buy opera troupes for the garden in the future, you have to go to Suzhou, Hangzhou and Yangzhou for a walk,..."

Although Xue Pan is stupid and not very careful in ordinary things, but when it comes to matters related to Feng Ziying and his sister, he cares more than anyone else.

"The man mentioned that the Shijia girl and Feng Ziying went to Yangzhou together, saying that it was also a fate. I don't know who mentioned it in the old lady's room. I heard that the old lady had such a meaning, so let people go The historian went to consult the two uncles of the girl Shijia, but the historian hasn't answered yet,..."
