[Red Mansions] Minruo Spring Breeze Returns to Dream

No.70 The second time each family knows about each marriage

Time flies like a white horse, and it is another year in the blink of an eye.With the help of her natal family, Mrs. Xu finally told Jia Yingchun about a marriage.The other party is also from the capital, surnamed Fang, with a single name of Yan, and he is the second son of the family.The head of the Fang family used to be a soldier of Xu's elder brother, but was later released as an official, and was not transferred back to Beijing until a few years ago.Fang Yan doesn't like reading but likes playing with swords and swords. Now that he is only eighteen years old, he is already a first-class guard in the palace, and his future is boundless.His father found a way to find him an outside job, and he waited to take the job after he got married.

After setting the time for the big wedding, Mrs. Xu was busy saving Jia Yingchun's dowry.Jia Yingchun has been accumulating these things since she was young, ranging from monthly money to receiving rewards from Jia's mother and the land deeds of two Zhuangzi.Jia Yingchun's biological mother was born in a family, so there was no dowry at all, and Mrs. Xu paid for the two Zhuangzi from her private house.Although Jia Amnesty didn't pay much attention to this daughter, he still bought two more Zhuangzi, and spent a lot of money asking Xu to make furniture for Jia Yingchun.Jia Lian and Lian also sent two boxes of dowry from Ping'an Prefecture, and Jia Min also sent a box. Counting Xu's own preparations, there are a total of 36 dowries.

Fang Yan will soon be sent to Qingzhou as an official, so his marriage to Jia Yingchun is earlier than Xue Baochai's, and they got married in early May.In June, Fang Yan took Jia Yingchun to Qingzhou.

"Since Yingchun got married, Rongguo Mansion has become empty." Xu sighed, "The old lady is still the same, doting on Baoyu's child all day long, and I don't think he is 15 years old. It will only cultivate his temperament of not seeking to make progress. Now the girl from the Xue family seems to be getting married, and Yingchun is also going to Qingzhou with her husband, what is your family's order for Daiyu?"

Jia Min smiled and said, "I've taken a fancy to this family, and the master also agrees with this family. It's just that the marriage has not yet been settled, so I can't say anything."

"Then someone has been selected, congratulations." Mrs. Xu thought of what Jia's mother wanted to marry Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu recently, and said, "Now according to the old lady's opinion, I am afraid that marrying a historian is a must. The child Xiangyun lives in the mansion for half a year, so even if he wants to talk to other people, it is difficult."

That's natural, her mother still has such means.Jia Min said: "I'm afraid the historians also have this wish. Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu were childhood sweethearts, and the old lady took care of them. The two nobles would not object to such a marriage. Speaking of which, Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun are both of a certain age. I'm afraid we're going to get engaged soon, right?"

"I haven't made it clear yet." Xu said, "You know, Marquis Baoling is still released. Although Marquis Zhongjing is raising Shi Xiangyun, this matter has to be discussed with Marquis Baoling."

Jia Min remembered that it would be the time when Yuanchun became a concubine soon, and there would be a resolution at that time, so she stopped talking too much.

The person Lin Ruhai and Jia Min showed Lin Daiyu was Yuchi Hongming, the cousin of Lin Jinshu's friend Yuchi Hongxuan. His father, Yuchixun, was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and a courtier promoted by the emperor when he ascended the throne.Yuchi Hongming was the only male in Yuchixun's branch, and he had two younger sisters who were concubines; his mother was from Suzhou, and came from a scholarly family.Lin Ruhai was also very satisfied with this marriage, after discussing with Yu Chixun, he decided to make a small deal after Lin Daiyu and Ji.

Jia Baoyu also heard about Lin Daiyu's marriage, thinking that such a cousin who was like a banished fairy would be handed over to a pedantic national thief who could only read, and he couldn't help feeling resentful.It's just that the second master has been watching him more and more recently, and it's not easy to go out.Sister Yun was taken back to Zhongjinghou's Mansion again, and the two "Jieyuhua" beside him were gone.

"Why is Second Master Bao so listless?" Xiren brought hot tea, "But are you tired from reading?"

"It's okay." Jia Baoyu looked at Xiren in front of him, "Go and get me those pastries." Although Xiren is good, he can only know a few words. Although he is used to flattery, gentleness and consideration, he is not An object with whom to play, chat and write poetry.Now that the elder sister is in the palace, the second elder sister is married, and the third and fourth younger sisters cannot stay with him for a long time, it is really lonely for him to be alone.

"Second Lord, is Miss Yun missing?" Qingwen just opened the curtain and walked in, wearing a light green dress embroidered with jasmine flowers, looking extraordinarily youthful and beautiful.Seeing Jia Baoyu's listlessness, Qingwen smiled and said, "It's just that Mrs. Shi Jia was thinking about Miss Smith and asked her to go back to stay for a while. One day, Second Master Bao will tell the old lady to bring Miss Yun back." .”

Qingwen was newly dialed to serve Jia Baoyu.Among the previous batch of maidservants, Meiren and Qiuwen had already been paired with servant girls, and only Qianxue and Xiren were still by Jia Baoyu's side, so Jia's mother called Qingwen and Sheyue over again.Among them, because of Qingwen's bright personality and two or three points similar to Lin Daiyu's appearance, Jia Baoyu especially likes it—probably also a psychological comfort he got after he couldn't get in touch with the beautiful woman.

"Sister Yun's home is not here, I know it." At the beginning, I was ignorant of the abrupt beauty, but now that Sister Bao and Sister Lin have already agreed to someone else, Jia Baoyu knows what he was thinking at the beginning, "You go back and wait." Well, I have to read for a while, so I don’t need to wait on me.” What’s the use of similarity, it’s just a fake.

Qingwen blinked puzzledly, seeing that Jia Baoyu didn't respond to her intentions, turned her head with puffy cheeks and walked out.

"What's the matter with you?" It happened that Xiren came over with snacks.

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with the second master Bao!" Qingwen crackled like carbon dioxide, "I just tried to persuade him when he was in a bad mood, and I just said that Miss Yun will be back soon. But I don't want Second Master Bao to give me shame, and just say that I serve you."

Xiren was happy to see Qingwen fall out of favor, but he still had a virtuous appearance, and said, "It's not like you don't understand Second Master Bao's temper. Dazed bewilderment is common. After a few days he gets used to it, and he will come back naturally." I apologize to you. Don't serve him in front of him these few days, let him feel that he can't live without you and come back later."

Qingwen snorted a little, and angrily went outside to wait.

"I heard that the cousin of the Lin family is engaged to the son of the head of the Hanlin Academy?" Jia Yuanchun received the news very quickly, and asked straightforwardly after seeing Mrs. Wang.

"That's right, didn't that girl rely on her good family background to negotiate such a good family?" After giving Jia Yuanchun some things for the first time, the Wang family went to Fengzao Palace one after another. A lot of medicinal materials were sent here.On the surface, it was said to be for Jia Wanyi's body, but the actual purpose was clear to both of them. "What the old lady means is that she is also planning to discuss marriage with Tanchun. But before that, there is still Baoyu's marriage to be dealt with. I have been blinded for a while, and I don't know which family to choose, but the old lady I mean, it's that girl from the Shi family."

"Historist? Shi Xiangyun?" Jia Yuanchun raised his eyebrows, "I don't have much impression of that girl."

"It's just a tricky and glib girl, but the old lady likes her." Shi Xiangyun is the grandniece of the old lady, so giving her to Baoyu would make Baoyu even more estranged from him?Wang really dislikes Shi Xiangyun, who is full of coquettishness and is called "Brother Love", and feels that she has no reserve at all, so she is not worthy of her son!Now the Xue family can't get through, and the Wang family has no girls of the right age, and Jia Baoyu's marriage is a headache for her.

Jia Yuanchun felt that this marriage was very reliable.A historian with two lords is very important in Beijing. Shi Xiangyun lost his parents and parents. After marrying in, he can be completely controlled. No mother, but if the mother assigns her to Baoyu without in-laws' advice, won't she be able to completely control that girl Shi Xiangyun by then? Besides, she has two uncles who are not low in rank, so she will naturally be able to support Baoyu at that time .”

"So the meaning of the young master is also to agree to this marriage?" It's not that Wang has never thought about this problem, but Shi Xiangyun is obviously more inclined to the old lady.Now the master and Baoyu are listening to the old lady's words very much. If we marry another daughter-in-law like this, wouldn't the second room be controlled by the old lady?

"I think it's not bad. The old lady is getting older, and her energy is naturally not as strong as before. Isn't Baoyu now living in the yard her mother tidied up?" Jia Yuanchun naturally knew Wang's worries, "Besides, Mother is good at training people, didn't the proud and arrogant Zhao Shi in the past be subdued by mother, and you are worried that you won't be able to train an obedient and well-behaved daughter-in-law?"

"Let's not talk about this for the time being." Wang still has something to consider in her heart, "it's about Tanchun's marriage..." Although Jia Tanchun was born by Aunt Zhao, he is smart and knows how to respect her aunt. Shi also didn't want people to think that she was abusing her concubine daughter, and she was too busy to see her recently.

"Tanchun's marriage, mother, don't be too busy, she is still young, and it is okay to wait another two years." For this concubine Jia Yuanchun, he is much more indifferent, "Now in the palace, Murong is pregnant and is about to give birth. An Xuan The waiter and Zheng Chang are gradually disappearing in the crowd. Zhen Shi and Tong Guiren have received the most favors. I am older than them, and the emperor gradually doesn't like to come to me. If necessary, I want to take Tan Bringing that girl Chun into the palace is giving her a chance to become the emperor's concubine."

"My lord, you want that girl Tanchun to give you a firm favor?" Mrs. Wang frowned, "How can I do that?"

"Whether it's solid or not, I just want her to be strong." Jia Yuanchun now feels more and more that he may have been drugged secretly and hurt his foundation, so he has not had children for so many years. "Before that, I still have to Just work hard to become the real master of Fengzao Palace."

Wang knows that if a woman does not have children after marriage, she will be depressed no matter where she is.What is Jia Tanchun compared to the happiness and future of his own daughter?
