Daiyu's stepmother is not easy to be

Xia Jingui listened to Lu's speeches all day long, "Don't get angry when you meet for the first time, don't make big mistakes when you see each other anyway", "Marriage is rare, you must seize the opportunity", "You won the Juren at the age of 17, Wait a few years before you become a Jinshi, you will be the wife of the official family" and other words, which were disturbed by the chanting.

She endured and endured, and finally couldn't help standing up, threw the handkerchief, stamped her foot and said, "Mother, am I your daughter, or is Lin Chang your son? Why do you talk to their family?"

"It's what you said. Their family doesn't have much money. They have been farming for several generations. Apart from being a good ancestor and a good relative, they can still talk about it. That is, Lin Changzhong is still good for a job. What else?"

"Besides, we are the woman's family. If we really want to see each other, they should flatter our family. Why do I have to restrain my mother's every word? I don't accept it! It's not that I can't get married, so I just point at his family!"

Seeing that her daughter's temper had come up again, Mrs. Lu's willow eyebrows stood upright, her phoenix eyes were wide open, her face was flushed with anger, she quickly stretched out her hand to pull her to sit beside her, squeezed her hand and persuaded: "Jingui, don't be angry, You are the only one in my life, who am I not for you?"

"It's mainly because you've grown up so much, and it's the first time you see someone, mother can't let it go, so I told you a few more words, good Jingui, let's not be angry anymore?"

Xia Jingui twisted her body irritably, frowned and said angrily: "That mother shouldn't have raised their family so high! Who am I? I don't know if his family's savings are enough for our family to spend a month. !"

Lu Shi sighed inwardly, pulled her daughter to her side again, ordered everyone to go down, reached into the side drawer, took out an account book and put it in Xia Jingui's hand, and asked her to read it carefully.

Xia Jingui is indeed arrogant and indulgent on weekdays, but she did not miss the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and housekeeper female red that a girl should learn in her boudoir. In the past, she often helped Lu's family with some housework, managing and dividing the accounts.

When she saw her mother showing her the family ledger, she was puzzled at first, and then saw her mother nodding to her, then opened the ledger and read page by page.

Seeing that Jin Gui's brows were furrowed more and more, Lu couldn't help sighing again in his heart. He slowly drank a cup of tea with the teacup in hand, then turned to ask her, "Jingui, what do you see?"

Xia Jingui raised her head and asked Lu in disbelief, "Mother, are there only a few businesses left in our family?"

Lu sighed helplessly: "Your father has been gone for eight years, and your maternal ancestor's family has also fallen, and there are only our mother and son left in the family. There are too many people staring at our family. How can we guard such a big family?" Industry?"

"So over the years, I have closed and sold all the coveted businesses for cash and kept them at home. Only these few businesses that are profitable and not hated are left, earning 3000 yuan a year. Two, plus two or three thousand for the future in the field, it is enough for us two to live."

Xia Jingui murmured: "I originally thought that the few businesses that my mother managed for me were just for me to practice my skills. How could it be like this..."

Seeing that her daughter was really restrained, Mrs. Lu felt very distressed, hugged her and said, "Jingui, you don't have to worry too much. Although our family has less people coming in now, we don't spend much. There are hundreds of thousands of savings, enough for us to spend a lifetime."

"It's just that there is no one in the court, and there are no good relatives to rely on. If there is any unconscionable and black-hearted fancy to our family's wealth and honor, and deceive us, who do we turn to to reason with you, your widow, and your orphan?"

"That's why my mother wants to find you a son-in-law who is motivated to study, and when he becomes a Jinshi and protects you, you will be safe for the rest of your life."

Xia Jingui knew that what her mother said was reasonable, but she still couldn't turn the corner in her heart, so she shook her hands and muttered: "How does mother know that I can't support the family business!"

After she finished saying this, she looked up at her mother's face again, hesitated for a long time, and finally said reluctantly: "I will remember what my mother said, and I will definitely not say a word when I look at you, and I will not say a word." Stay out of trouble."

After all, Xia Jingui felt that she couldn't hold back her face, and added later: "Really! When did I embarrass my mother outside? Mother doesn't believe me too much. It took me so long to talk about such a thing."

Lu Shi finally smiled, put his arms around Xia Jingui and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, it's my mother's fault, she is too long-winded."

"Let's go, let's pick some good materials from the warehouse, and make some clothes for you! You should also add some jewelry to your dowry, and you should pick them up now..."

Mrs. Lu talked about Xia Jingui's dowry again, saying that the wood in the house had been saved for so many years. In addition to chicken wing wood and sour branch wood, she could also make some pieces of huanghuali furniture and jewelry for her. How many suitcases for Four Seasons Clothes, how much money to put in the suitcase, etc., coaxed Xia Jingui to smile again, and it was rare that he didn't beat and scold the girl all day.

Soon came the day when the two families should see each other. Xia Jingui got up early that day, wearing a silver-red dress, embroidered with osmanthus flowers with gold thread on the top, and an apricot yellow pleated skirt on the bottom. It was tied up, and there was a piece of gold inlaid jade hanging on it, and a magenta shawl on the arm, which was also woven with gold brocade, very gorgeous.

She wore a flying fairy bun on her head, and she wore a big flower hairpin in the middle. Three peony-like golden flowers, one big, two small, competed for splendor. Big pearls, shining brightly in the sun.

There are also little phoenix hairpins on both sides of the bun, with pearls in their mouths, which flicker with her movements, making her more beautiful than peaches and plums.

After Xia Jingui finished her makeup, she took a selfie in the mirror, and heard the compliments from the maids around her, thinking that Lin Chang would never forget her and fall in love with her at first sight with her well-dressed outfit today.

Unexpectedly, when the two families met, after seeing her appearance clearly, Lin Chang was indeed stunned for a moment, with a little surprise in his eyes, but he immediately restrained his expression, bowed his head and greeted her.

Seeing Lin Chang's reaction in this way, Xia Jingui felt a little unhappy, so he tried his best not to show face, and said hello according to etiquette.

The two were relatively silent for a while, Lin Chang just lowered his head and said nothing, Xia Jingui stared at him for a while, saw that he was indeed doing well, and remembered the account book he read that day, so he let go of his unhappiness first, For the time being, he thought he was dull-tempered, so he took the initiative to ask, "Did Lin Juren ask for leave from the Imperial College today?"

Xia Jingui's question and Lin Chang's answer made Xia Jingui feel that this was an honest character, so it was easy to handle, and he felt less upset.

But he said that because the Xia family had no males, it was Wei who brought Lin Chang to Xia's mansion to see him today.

As soon as Mrs. Wei entered the gate of the Xia Mansion, she felt that the Xia Mansion was indeed very rich, but she had also lived in the Lin Mansion for more than a year, and she had seen many, and she was taught by Nanny Chen, so she was not rude. Or look surprised.

When he entered the house and saw the golden and jade-like girl from Xia's family, just like the fairy girl in the painting, she was polite and polite, and Wei Shi felt even more proud.

Look at this golden and precious Miss Xia, isn't she much better than any other Miss Lian?

But how many times they told Chang'er at home last night, let Chang'er take the initiative to talk to Miss Xia, who knows that after persuading him for a long time, he agreed, but when he got here, he even saluted without saying a word, which made Wei feel anxious.

Fortunately, Miss Xia was generous and courteous, and took the initiative to start a conversation, which didn't let the scene cool down.

Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Mrs. Lu: "This child can't put down the book in his hand, and he was studying at home until the third watch yesterday. He just always thinks about passing the exam as soon as possible, and he doesn't know how to get along with the girl." You're laughing at me when I talk to you."

Mrs. Lu watched Wei's words and deeds coldly from the moment Mrs. Wei entered the door. Seeing that although her words were rough, she was still polite on the outside, so she smiled and said, "What's the matter? It's a good thing for children to make progress. Wait for Lin Juren If you become a Jinshi in the next subject and become an official, don't you have an imperial order? At that time, you should enjoy the blessing."

Mrs. Wei couldn't help feeling a little flustered by Lu's praise, and couldn't hide the complacency in the corners of his brows and eyes, but he smiled and said, "He's just been selected as a candidate. He doesn't know how many times he has to take the exam before being a Jinshi. Don't dare." Say you will pass the next subject."

Just now she felt that Mrs. Wei was polite, but she began to be proud of the second sentence. Mrs. Lu frowned slightly and then loosened. It would be better if his heart was shallower. Such a person can't hide his thoughts, and he will never be with Jingui in the future To make those twists and turns, left and right only need to teach Jingui to take good care of her husband.

Lin Chang's parents are common people, with little knowledge and connections. When Lin Chang becomes an official in the future, he will have to rely on Jingui's dowry.

Where is the person who won the move so stupid?Even if his parents want to pick Jingui's reason, how can he not know which of the two is more important?

The two families looked at each other with their own thoughts, and Li's official media and He's official media smoothed things over again, and they actually agreed on a marriage.

When Mrs. Lu saw off Mrs. Wei, Lin Chang, mother and son, and the official media, and returned to the house, seeing Jingui sitting there with a sullen face thinking about something, she hurried up and asked, "What's the matter? I've decided to be happy." Things, you can't be unhappy, it's unlucky."

Xia Jingui frowned and asked Lu Shi: "Mother, how do you think I'm dressed today?"

Lu's family naturally praised her a lot, but Xia Jingui didn't raise her eyebrows, but said puzzledly: "Even my mother thinks it looks good. With Lin Chang's background, I don't know much about it. Why did he see me today? How could he seem to be so beautiful?" Doesn't it seem rare?"

Hearing Xia Jingui's words, Lu's heart skipped a beat, and his expression couldn't help but change.

It was Xia Jingui who had sharp eyes and saw the change in her mother's expression, and immediately asked, "Is there something my mother is hiding from me!"

Lu Shi didn't want to talk to her about it, but Pian Xia Jingui lost her temper again, took off the flower hairpin from her head and threw it on the couch, and said angrily: "Is it possible that he has a beautiful girl and concubine in his family who seduces his soul?" I went, that's why he was so indifferent to me?"

"Mother, don't hide it from me! Just tell me the truth! What is it! It's already an advantage for him to marry me with such a background, how dare he not care about it?"

Seeing that her daughter had misunderstood deeply, Lu's face was flushed with anger, so she had to say it now, and hurriedly explained: "Jing Gui, you are overthinking, I heard that Lin Juren's servants are all servants, a None of the girls."

"Besides, his parents dream that he will pass the exam, so how could they arrange someone to seduce him?"

Xia Jingui thought about it for the same reason, but when he thought of Lin Chang's attitude, he was still dissatisfied, and asked, "Then why is he not courteous to me at all! Is he really a wooden clapper?"

The author has something to say:

Come on!

The chickens are flying and the dogs are jumping... Scheduled...
