The Jade of the Red Chamber

Although Jia's mother had all kinds of calculations in her heart, the death of the Supreme Emperor, although there is a precedent of "all officials in the world, they will be released in three days", but today she is benevolent and filial, ordering all the officials and nobles in the world to observe filial piety for one year, and the common people for three months.It takes 27 months for the emperor to reach his clan, but everyone understands that the emperor keeps the system from day to day, so today it is only 27 days.

Girls of this age can only be delayed temporarily.But you can't be engaged, you can't marry, and there are officials and nobles who are not allowed to have banquets.Come to think of it, in the year after the filial piety, there will be many more happy events in the capital than usual.

Yingchun is the same age as Lin Zhenyu, and will soon be Jiji's age.

It turned out that when she was not taken back to the big house, she was raised under the old lady. Mrs. Xing didn't have a deep relationship with her, so naturally she didn't bother to take care of her marriage. I don't want to take out some of myself as a dowry for her.At that time, Sister Feng hated Mrs. Wang heartily. For a while, she only cared about protecting her own family, and she couldn't care about this sister-in-law whom Sister Feng had always been unhappy with. Later, she became pregnant again, and her mind was all about that.Yingchun's marriage was delayed like this.

However, when there was a rift between the Dafang and the old lady even on the surface, Jia She was so angry that he blocked the passageway between Rongguo Mansion and Dafang, as well as the Moon Gate, and brought Yingchun back, even changing the name to Dafang. Girl, Sister Feng kicked out all the nanny and daughter-in-law around her who had malicious intentions, and even trained the maids around Yingchun in a thunderous way.Yingchun is close to her father and brother in her heart, she has a gentle temperament, not as thoughtful as Tanchun, and she got along slowly, but she won the eyes of Mrs. Xing and Sister Feng.

Mrs. Xing's knees are empty, and she welcomes the spring with a sincere heart. She always does her best when dealing with people and doing things. She not only spares no effort to take care of her eldest sister, but she is really respectful and filial to Mrs. Xing. She just doesn't know how to coax people with good words, but such a person can only know his true heart after a long time !Later, Mrs. Xing, who had always been stingy, was really moved. She simply followed Mrs. Wang's example and recorded Yingchun under her name!This is different from Mrs. Wang's original thoughts. Even though Tanchun was recorded in her name, she did not raise her personally, and there will always be an upright daughter Jia Yuanchun under her control. Mrs. Xing did not say anything sincerely, but she did not Children, Jia Lian was born to her first wife, and this Yingchun is her only daughter! The meaning of "the only one" is completely different from that of the mere "Third Miss"!

Sister Feng can't understand Yingchun's cowardly temperament, but as a mother, you can't stop others from being kind to your children, so you gradually feel the difference. Moreover, after Mrs. Wang's incident, she has become more wary of others It's a little bit more, I don't like those people who are rushing to flatter and say good things in the past. Yingchun can't coax people, but it coincides with Sister Feng's current temperament!After coming and going, Sister Feng treated this sister-in-law from the superficial level to the point where she really cared about her.What kind of character is Sister Feng? When she was the housekeeper, even Jia's mother called her a "shabby household" and "Feng spicy child"!It's not easy to give my sister-in-law some advice in class!

Even though Yingchun was cowardly before, she is different now, she is also a serious girl, her waist is naturally stiffer than before, and she has another best advantage, that is, she can listen to what is said and will do it seriously. If the temper is placed in a cowardly state, it will endure wronged, but when it is nurtured and supported, it will be very beneficial!Even though Mrs. Xing understands better than before, Zuo's temperament can't be changed, and she is still a little unclear. It's just that everyone knows her temperament now, and it's smooth to coax her, but it's very inappropriate to ask her to teach Yingchun. Therefore, since Yingchun returned to the eldest room, it was Sister Feng who took on the role of education. With her scheming and tricks, it was enough for Yingchun to get a little bit of it!

This involves marriage after Yingchun. If she married into a family like Rongguo Mansion, even if Sister Feng would be tricked by her aunt for many years, Yingchun's nature can only be beaten back to her mother's womb and reborn on the other side. There is still a half chance!Sister Feng naturally didn't point out that she would marry into such a noble family. Madam Xing thought of teaching Yingchun to climb high branches when she saw Yingchun as her daughter, but Sister Feng's few words and the fact that she had been ostracized in Rongfu for so many years It also cancels this year.

Yingchun is a person who can live a life, and can do it through thick and thin. Mrs. Xing's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have discussed it privately for a long time. The prestige and power of the mansion are not as good as before, the Dafang and the Rongfu are obviously dirty, Yingchun's status is even more embarrassing. I would like the in-laws in Rongguo Mansion to have a bad reputation two years ago.

Mrs. Xing and Sister Feng looked at each other and inquired about Nianxu, and finally found a sleepy one. It was a young man surnamed Ding from a small town not more than a hundred miles away from the capital. The rich country gentry has no shortage of fertile land and houses at home.

Coincidentally, Jia Lian's shop has some business with their family. Ding's family ordered a lot of ordinary cotton cloth and some brocade silk materials from the shop. It turns out that the Ding family has many tenants. Every year, the Ding family buys a lot of thick, durable and soft cotton cloth to make clothes for the tenants and servants!Ding's family is simple, without so many twists and turns. Except that the master wears better clothes, the farmers and waiters below can eat enough and wear warmth no matter what. Jia Lian also praised this family as a rare and kind master after hearing a few words from others. !

When Jia Lian was teasing her precious son, she learned a few words from Sister Feng. Sister Feng heard it and kept it in her heart. The next day, she mentioned it to Mrs. Xing. some.Otherwise, as the saying goes, if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather, and the meaning is also valid in reverse. The father and son Jia She and Jia Lian, who were brought by Mrs. Xing and Sister Feng, paid a lot of attention to Yingchun!This was the only daughter in the big house, and Jia Lian hurriedly went to inquire about it, and even lowered the price of the transaction, which left a good impression on the Ding family.

Looking back, Jia Lian and the confidantes he sent knew a lot about the Ding family. Ding Xiucai was the only son in the family, and he had two older sisters who were both married.Mr. Ding and Mrs. Ding had a son in middle age, but their education was very strict. Ding Xiucai was filial and motivated. Such a rotten person, but he manages the Ding family in an orderly manner.Mr. Ding is kind and charitable, he is a well-known squire in that place, and Mrs. Ding's temperament is said to be excellent, and her family is simple, without those aunts and concubines. Although her family is not high, she is very suitable for welcoming the spring!

Mrs. Xing and Sister Feng looked at it for a long time, and the more they watched, the more they were satisfied. Jia She and Jia Lian also agreed. The butler of the house said that it was one or two, and then secretly told them that his master was about to separate the big house of the Rongguo Mansion!

The Ding family was about to tell their children a girl from a well-educated and scholarly family, but the Ding family was not bad in the local area, but outside the small town, there were countless wealthy and gentry around the capital, and the married daughters were married to high-ranking ones. A girl who is literate and good at housekeeping doesn't like such a small family. The housekeeper of the Ding family shocked Master Ding. They have heard rumors that the Rongguo Mansion is not good because the capital is near the city, but A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, how could this girl from the rich family of Rongguo Mansion fall in love with their country people?

Master Ding and Mrs. Ding were afraid that the girl might have a hidden disease, secondly, that the girl had a bad temper, and thirdly, they would not be able to subdue this daughter-in-law even if they didn’t have any of the above two things. Could it be that they have to provide for the daughter-in-law in such a small family?These Feng sisters knew something in their hearts, and they talked to Jia Lian secretly. The big manager in Jia Lian's shop got orders, and they talked together again, making their faces bright: Rongguo Mansion is declining, and the big house is not welcome by the old lady. The father, brother, mother and sister-in-law in the family are afraid that the girl will marry into an official family and be bullied, so they want to find a proper family...

The words were sincere, and Master Ding and Mrs. Ding's minds became more active, and the old couple asked many people to inquire about it. This Rongguo Mansion is now too high or too low. Although the family is not worthy of them, it is really in decline. , and the notoriety has nothing to do with the big house, on the contrary, everyone in the capital city knows that the old lady Jia is partial to the second house, and can't help but sigh that it is not easy for the big house, and they really love the girl.The capital city has inquired as many as possible, and the rumors about this girl from the eldest house are very rare compared to the third lady with thorny roses from the second room. The Ding family also probably know that the girl from the first room in Rongfu has a gentle personality.

Mrs. Xing and Sister Feng did not stop doing two things, and lowered their posture. They borrowed a banquet in the back house of a good friend of Jia Lian who had business contacts, and Sister Feng secretly took Yingchun as a guest without revealing her identity. Madam naturally went there too.Even in the group of ladies in the capital city, Sanchun's appearance is outstanding, such an ordinary family member of a rich family, where have you seen such figures as Sister Feng and Yingchun?They all asked whose family's daughter-in-law and girl this was. Mrs. Ding was shocked when she saw this girl. She knew the identity of this girl in her heart, and she just thought it was an ordinary and beautiful girl before. Come forward to speak, I dare not even think about this marriage.

Sister Feng's eyes are always sharp, and she guessed most of it when she saw Mrs. Ding's dodging eyes. If she thought about how she would think of these "madame" in the backyard of these small houses in the past, I'm afraid she would feel dirty just by looking at them. eyes!But after going through so many things, the Jia family turned from prosperity to decline. She and Jia Lian broke up with the second room. In the nightmare, she will also dream of Qin's dream that she came to persuade her the night before her death!After Jia Lian was engaged in business, she kept in contact with these wealthy and noble families, and Sister Feng's mentality gradually changed. If Jia's family collapsed, and her uncle's family is not very enthusiastic about her family, maybe her family is not as good as the others here!

Sister Feng is used to talking, she is pretty, and she chats and laughs with the wives and girls here in a short while, and the eyes of everyone looking at them are no longer unfamiliar and dare not approach them. It's also good to get along with the girls from various families.

Not long after, Sister Feng brought Yingchun here with an excuse, leading people to see Yingchun's handkerchief, purse, and her embroidered shoes showing a little bit. These women may not know a single word, but they know everything about female celebrities. A pair of sharp eyes!This embroiderer is indeed rare!Sister Feng laughed secretly in her heart, many of these embroidery skills are not known to the outside world, only rich families can afford to hire girls to learn, ordinary people are just mothers, sisters-in-law and nurses who can teach them, but they are the most common ones, Rong Mansion also invited the best embroiderers in the south to teach the girls!

With a sweet smile on her face, Sister Feng said in her mouth: "My sister embroidered it stitch by stitch. It's not my sister-in-law's bragging. Our girl has always been obedient and dexterous. She made so many things on her body!" She stroked Yingchun's hand and said with a smile: "Even the little eldest sister in the family knows that the clothes and shoes made by her aunt are beautiful, and she doesn't like to wear other things! We are willing to let the girl do such embroidery work, but her aunt dotes on her, and secretly makes clothes for her when she avoids us. I am so happy that the girl talks sweetly around her aunt all day long! You say such a girl Who doesn't feel pain in their hearts?" Everyone in the circle laughed, and Madam Ding looked at Yingchun with even more satisfaction, only to be ashamed that Yingchun's face was like a peach blossom in March, which was even more pleasing to the eye.

This banquet taught Mrs. Ding that she was very fond of welcoming the Spring Festival, and the Ding family was also grateful for the sincerity of the eldest family of the Rong Mansion, so they were also very concerned.The two families already had a charter in private, and Sister Feng also gave a painting that Xichun made for Yingchun not long ago to the wife of the family who hosted the banquet, and the painting naturally passed into the hands of the Ding family.

Ding Xiucai was both happy and surprised when he saw it, but what he wanted in his heart was not the appearance, but a woman who could talk to him and had some talent, so he blushed and asked his mother's confidant to accompany him, Mrs. Ding is naturally happy to see her son like this - the old couple are not too young, and they can't accompany their son for a few years. Naturally, they have given up the thought of fearing that the daughter-in-law will take away their son. The daughter-in-law who can accompany him with all his heart will not have a son who is not married now!This Jia's Yingchun not only looks good and knowledgeable, but she also made a point of insinuating and asked a lot of family affairs that day, she is actually a person who can manage the house!Now Mrs. Ding couldn't be more satisfied, such a good-looking, good-looking female celebrity, gentle tempered and talented daughter-in-law is hard to find even with a lantern!

Ding Xiucai was overjoyed when he heard about it. It turns out that Ding Xiucai is also good at chess and loves chess. Now the husband and wife have something to say!

Just when the two families were happily about to get engaged, something unexpected happened—the Supreme Emperor passed away!The eldest family of the Jia family is not like the Lin family who has Prince Jingze who tipped off the news and made an official marriage for his daughter one step ahead of time.

There is no need to delay now, but Dafang and Ding's family don't worry about it. The Ding's family is not a wealthy family, so naturally they don't pay much attention to the etiquette of getting married for several years. Just get married in a few months!Just getting ready now.

But Jia She, Mrs. Xing's eldest house and others were worried about the future fate of Rongguo Mansion, and there would be no eggs under the nest. However, Jia Lian had approached Lin Zhenyu twice in private. Although Lin Zhenyu said it was not good, what would happen in the future However, the big house of Rongguo Mansion and King Zhongshun didn't take much part in the matter. At that time, he secretly helped one or two people. He didn't expect any big things to happen, so he only asked Jia Lian to buy more land and Zhuangzi, and asked him to bring Jia Huan with him. A letter, teach him to stay in the academy for the past two years and not to come home!

Although Jia Huan's talent is not very high, he has really worked hard in the past few years. In the first half of the year, Lin Zhenyu recommended him to Ulsan Academy. The concubine who has never been favored and has never been in charge of anything, the Jia family ransacked the house and punished him for the time being!As for Aunt Zhao, although Zhenyu was influenced by the original novel and didn't like this character very much, she still thought of her being with her for many years, and she once stood up for "Aunt Zhou". that is.

Jia Lian was half-hearted, and Sister Feng and his wife were more careful to keep the land behind, and entrusted the help of Grandma Liu's family who had been close to her for the past few years. Since Sister Feng was careful, her body has become much stronger, and she no longer has the humble name of "Sister Qiao".

Jia Lian and his wife deliberated for a long while, but decided not to explain to the Ding family what the Rongguo Mansion was facing. Anyway, the two families have not yet cleared the way, and this can also see the true face of the Ding family. If their family is really a snobbish family, this It doesn't matter if the marriage is not settled!It won't be good for Yingchun to marry in that way.Jia Lian asked himself that he had prepared enough in the past few years. Besides, Jia Cong was also admitted to Tongsheng and was studying in the private school that Jia Huan studied in the past. Together with these things, the big house that Cousin Lin said should not have been implicated. Deep, is it possible to find a commoner family for my sister who knows how to treat her warmly and kindly?

But this time Dafang really saw the right person, the Ding family is really kind and honest, when the Jia family ransacked the house for punishment, Master Ding and Ding Xiucai rushed to the capital, although they couldn't help much, the father and son were in the Rongguo Mansion He kept watch nearby for several days, even holding the banknotes in his arms, thinking that in case the female relatives end up being sold, at least the wife, grandma and young lady of the big house can buy them back quickly, so as not to make them suffer!

Later, when they heard that the big house was saved by everyone, the Ding family hurriedly came to propose marriage. They were afraid that Yingchun would be wronged at home, so they wanted to get married as soon as possible. save face.This moved Jia Amnesty, Mrs. Xing and Jia Lian very much, but if they didn't agree to the Ding family's engagement, please tell me that they should wait six months to get married.The expensive dowry was accepted when the engagement was made, but the dowry for Yingchun fell below the eyes of all the spectators. The Ding family was also surprised. Now, this foundation is not comparable to that of ordinary people!" The whole family of Ding paid more attention to Yingchun.

Of course, these are all things for later, now Yingchun is blushing and hiding in her boudoir embroidering her own wedding dress!
