[Red Mansion] Mother Jia has a paralyzed face

Zhang Rui didn't keep teasing Mrs. Wang either. As soon as she raised her head, Pearl would heartily ask the little maid to bring another serving of the same one, put it in front of the second lady, and said with a smile: "The chicken noodle soup is specially given to you by the old lady." Yes, I'm worried that you hurt your stomach if you didn't eat in the morning."

Zhang Rui didn't admit that he had said this, but Wang believed it was true, and looked at her mother-in-law excitedly.

Zhang Rui glanced at Pearl helplessly before saying to Wang: "Eat quickly, it will be cold in a while."

"it is good."

Mrs. Wang's food is very delicious, although the etiquette is still comprehensive, but Zhang Rui feels that she is really hungry, and it seems that her appetite is stronger than before they traveled far~

Zhang Rui, who was [-]% full after eating early, saw Wang shi took away the last bit of vegetable shreds, and asked her, "Are you full?"

Mrs. Wang nodded, took the handkerchief handed over by the maid self-sufficiently, wiped her mouth and said, "Thank you mother-in-law for entertaining me today."

Put on a show!Zhang Rui couldn't help laughing, sat on the couch with Wang, and asked her: "Did you ask your sister about Xue Pan's marriage?"

"Yes, my daughter-in-law and sister are very happy. Where can I find such a good marriage?"

Zhang Rui also felt that Xue's family would not object, Huangshang is the most able to see clearly the gains and losses inside, this is almost a business that can make a profit without losing money, on the contrary, she is not very sure whether Wei Yi'an can achieve what he wants .

"What about Baochai?"

"This..." Wang said with a hesitant tone, "My daughter-in-law asked them to go back and think about it, but they haven't given me an answer yet..."

"That's right, you just came back yesterday? You really should give them some time."

Zhang Rui just felt that it was a pity for Baochai to enter the palace, and he might not be able to win the monstrous power and wealth. If he died in the palace instead, it would be too late to regret it; Chasing these, she is also willing to embrace to understand.

"Mother, please let me know who it is, so I can persuade my sister and the others."

"Really want to know?"

Zhang Rui was actually not going to tell her who it was at the beginning, but after thinking about it, even if the man’s family offered to ask for marriage, it’s not a big deal even if he was rejected, it’s just because the two children are in the Rongguo Mansion, although they strictly abide by the defense of men and women, they have hardly seen each other. face, but rumors tend to be bad for their reputation.

But if it can be kept a secret... Zhang Rui took a look at the Wang family, although it is true that there are some illusions that his IQ is not online these years?Let's believe that she let herself go, but she really didn't cause any trouble outside because of this mouth, so she beckoned the maids to go down, and then said to her: "It's Ruolan."

"Wei Ruolan?! That's the mother, your daughter-in-law and niece?" No wonder Mrs. Wang thinks so, because they have to get the approval of the old lady when they choose the marriage of the children in the family. Wei Ruolan is in Rongguo Mansion. Growing up, she naturally thought that his marriage was the same as that of Jia's children.

Zhang Rui shook his head, and said: "It's not me, I originally had some motives for Ruolan's marriage, but Yi'an felt that Baochai was a good girl, so I didn't object."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang knew that her mother-in-law had brought up the marriage because of Yi'an, and immediately felt a sense of urgency that this was a hot item that could not be let go. She wanted to say goodbye and go back to persuade her sister. : "Don't spread the word."

"Daughter-in-law can save it."

I don't know how Wang Shi persuaded Xue Wang Shi, after a few days, the two came to her yard and talked about the marriage. Zhang Rui was just an intermediary in Xue Pan's matter, and Xue's family decided that they would like this marriage. So they sent someone to tell Wei Yi'an, and the Xue family formally invited a matchmaker to propose marriage not long after.

As for the engagement between Wei Ruolan and Xue Baochai, Wei Yi'an wanted to handle it in person, but it was inconvenient for her to be pregnant, so Zhang Rui took it over and hired a matchmaker to make the decision, but the two children were both They are not very old, and there is no way to let them go out alone to set up a family early, so they discussed with the Xue family to set the wedding date when Wei Ruolan was 16 years old, so that they can barely do things.

Wei Ruolan didn't expect that "Sister Bao" who lived in her grandmother's house would become her fiancée. Since the boys of Jia's family never got engaged early, he always thought that it was still a long way off, and never thought about it...

Now that the two children of the Xue family are settled, the marriage will naturally have to be done in the Xue family's own house. The Xue Wang family has asked the servants to prepare for the rest of the house before, and now they are directly urging them to do more. Wood and stone, etc., the Xue family is rich and powerful, and all materials are top-grade.

It's just that not long after the speed of construction started, the emperor issued a decree to allow concubines to go out of the palace to visit relatives. This kind of favor is naturally a great face to those who have nobles in the palace. Paper is expensive in Luoyang, and when it comes to them, the supply of building materials is in short supply.

The Xue family was very conflicted, did they earn the money... or did they earn it?

Fortunately, in the end, Xue Baochai was more stable than his mother and elder brother. He simply asked people to repair the Xue family's garden first, and if there was any left over, they would sell it. To take it back to the store to sell.

Aunt Xue and Xue Pan often heard that the price of some materials outside had increased again, and when they looked at their house, they felt that this was not an ordinary house, but made of gold and silver; Rao is as wealthy as the Xue family's mother and son, and they can't help feeling a little fleshy.

Fortunately, after Xue's house was completed, the remaining materials were sold, which basically spent more than half of their spending on resting the house this time, and they finally felt much more comfortable.

Because of this incident, Xue Panyue's family finally dissipated their last trace of doubts about Xue's family, and Wei Yi'an firmly believed that it was right for her to insist on choosing this marriage for her younger brother.

As for the materials that Rongguo Mansion prepared to repair the courtyard at the beginning, it was naturally lower than the market price and higher than the original purchase price and passed on to others. Jia Hu gave the extra money to Zhang Rui. Of course she was excited that her grandson thought of her, but What use would she have to keep the money, so after the two discussed it, they sent the money to the small yard where they hid.

Many houses are under construction outside, and the plan to build a courtyard in Rongguo Mansion has been put on hold for the time being. Zhang Rui is counting with his fingers in his room: "When Yingchun gets married, only Weier Tanchun and Huaner will be left as the oldest members of the family. It will take a few years for the great-grandchildren to get married, so they can live here and live there."

As soon as Jia Min came in with Daiyu, she saw her mother saying "you can stay here", so she asked with a smile, "What are you talking about yourself? You are so focused that you can't even hear your daughter coming in."

Seeing that it was Jia Min and Daiyu, Zhang Rui hurriedly called them over to sit beside her, and explained: "It's not like there's a lot of construction going on outside recently, and all the wood and stones that were planned to be repaired in our house have also been transferred out. I'm just thinking about it right here."

"Indeed, recently when my daughter went out as a guest, everyone was talking about visiting relatives."

Daiyu leaned gently beside her grandmother, and echoed, "I have a good friend's sister who is also in the palace, but the family does not plan to visit her relatives, she is still a little sad~"

"What's so sad about this, please ask the emperor to let them enter the palace to meet them." It's better than wasting people and money.

"It's just that we can't have a family reunion." Daiyu felt deeply about this. Although everything is good in her ancestral home, it's not as good as having her parents by her side. Presumably what she looks forward to the most after entering the palace is to be able to meet her family.

"It's nothing to do." There are some things that Jia Min, a mother, will naturally teach. Zhang Rui didn't want to be in a bad mood, so she smiled and said to Daiyu: "It seems that you and your mother are friends when you go out. Many friends, if you let that girl Tanchun know, they will definitely be jealous of you."

Daiyu twisted her body coquettishly, and said arrogantly: "Then I will play with Sister Yingchun."

"Really? Then should I tell Tanchun?" Zhang Rui said this on purpose, and as expected, Daiyu stamped her foot and called out "grandmother".

Mrs. Zhang chose a friendly family for Yingchun. The family background is clean and the population is simple. The boy in that family is also preparing for the imperial examination to become an official. It's been over a year since.

Daiyu knew that sister Yingchun was engaged, so she begged her mother to bring her back to Rongguo Mansion. Originally, she and her sisters couldn't see each other every day because they didn't live together. Yes, her own sister is like this.

So when Jia Min brought her daughter here, she prepared a lot of things for her to use, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation. She wanted her to stay at her grandfather's house for a few more days, and the life in her boudoir would make her feel free and happy when she thought about it later. recalled.

Of course Zhang Rui also wants to keep Jia Min at home, but she has her own home to take care of, if she speaks out, it will make her feel embarrassed, so she just asks them to eat at Rongguo Mansion before going back, which happens to be dismissed Lin Ruhai came to pick Jia Min back in person, and the husband and wife had dinner together at Rongguo Mansion.

Before sending them away, Zhang Rui remembered that Qing Rui was the only one in Lin's house, so he told them: "When you come to pick up Daiyu, remember to bring Rui Rui with you, so that he won't be pitiful at home alone."

Jia Min and Lin Ruhai looked at each other and smiled, thinking that the mother missed the child, so she nodded at her and said, "Don't worry, I will never come alone again."

That night, Daiyu and Tanchun rolled up the Zhangai and slept with Yingchun. Xichun, who got the news the next day, also came to Rongguo Mansion. Zhang Rui simply sent someone to the Shijia to pick up the little girls from the Shijia. , the little sisters mingled together to read and play every day, inseparable.

Zhang Rui saw that these girls hardly seemed to be troubled, and then thought of Xue Baochai, who couldn't get away from helping her mother with housework, and would go back every time she played with her sisters for a while, and felt that this life was really Very mysterious.
