[Red Mansion] Mother Jia has a paralyzed face

On the day that Ningguo Mansion invited the official media to go to the Princess Mansion to propose marriage, Zhang Rui also went to the Princess Mansion as a half-matchmaker and an elder. Since Jia Jing and his wife invited her to such a happy event, there is no reason to be lazy, because the two families will be serious in-laws in the future , Zhang Rui also sat at the front among the princes' wives and the Yang family.

The official media gave gifts to each other, and Zhang Rui actually got a pair of cloth shoes made by the princess himself. Jiamu's daughter-in-law was not her when she gave the handmade embroidery work, so she didn't feel much. The embroidery work given by her daughter was not like this. Same.

So holding the cloth shoes given by his future nephew and granddaughter-in-law, Zhang Rui looked at them over and over again, and the more he looked at them, the more he liked them.

Since the two families had a tacit understanding, the process of Nacai's name asking was very smooth. After that, the two families exchanged Geng Tie and sent it to the Ministry of Rites to confirm that there was no conflict. They chose another day to formally send the dowry gift to the Princess Mansion.

Because the princess doesn't plan to marry a daughter too early, the Ningguo Mansion's application period is set on the eighth day of March two years later. That day is the best day of the year. be opposed to.

According to the tradition of marriage customs, engaged married couples should not be able to meet each other. It is said that it is unlucky, but the bigger reason is probably because they are worried that if they meet, they will withdraw from the engagement due to dissatisfaction with their appearance or something that should not happen will affect the woman's boudoir. Yu, Princess Anyang doesn't have this trouble.

The second princess is very conceited about her daughter's appearance, and she is at her own place, so when Jia Zhen came to give the gift during the Mid-Autumn Festival, she made a coincidence, and let the two young people meet, so that Jia Zhen could be more considerate of her daughter .

Although Princess Anyang's face is still a little immature, but as everyone said, she must be a stunning figure when she grows up. Jia Zhen is not someone who has never seen the world, but she should know that the shy girl is her fiancée. Then I couldn't help but giggle.

Princess Anyang was a little shy at first, but she laughed when she saw him like that. Jia Zhen was stunned again when she saw him, staring at him stupidly and couldn't take her eyes off.

His face was hot from seeing, Princess Anyang glared at him, and walked past Jia Zhen.

Jia Zhen only felt a gust of fragrant wind blowing past, turned back to pursue, only saw her back disappearing from his eyes little by little and never turned back, felt a little lost in her heart, and still felt a little bit obsessed when she went back.

That night, his fiancée entered his dream. Jia Zhen felt a little shy, and secretly hid her underwear, not wanting to let her own thoughts be discovered.

But after hiding, he felt a feeling of melancholy that he couldn't vent, so he picked up the folding fan and went to Rongguo Mansion after thinking about it.

"You don't study at home, what brought you out?" Zhang Rui was a little surprised when he saw Jia Zhen. Since Jia Jing felt that his son was still lucky, he specially invited a gentleman to teach him, and he often didn't see each other for ten and a half months. to people.

Jia Zhen scratched her nose with a fan, sat on the chair under her aunt and grandmother, and after a while she thanked her in a low voice: "Thank you, aunt and grandmother."

Zhang Rui was a little puzzled, "Why do you suddenly thank me?"

Jia Zhen glanced around, Zhang Rui saw this, and said: "The marriage date of the mandarin ducks is fixed, I asked them to help embroider the dowry."

"Eh? Sister Yuanyang is getting married? Who is it?"

"Guard Lin."

"He." Jia Zhen knew that Guard Lin was in charge of guarding all the way to Jinling, "It's pretty good."

"You'd better tell me what's the matter with you~" Zhang Rui rolled his eyes at Jia Zhen, his serious tone sounded awkward.

Jia Zhen felt a little embarrassed after hearing her aunt's question, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I saw the princess at the princess mansion yesterday."

"and then?"

Jia Zhen swayed and said, "It's so pretty!"

Zhang Rui was speechless, why did the young Huaichun with this face look so unbearable?What a pitiful man who doesn't know how to see the essence through appearances!

I really couldn't see it anymore, and waved away impatiently, "Go, go, go, do what you should do quickly, don't stay here with me."

Before Jia Zhen could finish expressing her feelings, she was kicked out, and stood still a little unwillingly. Zhang Rui remembered that Jia Hu had prepared an engagement wedding for him, called a servant to bring it to Jia Zhen, and started chasing people away again.

After all, Jia Zhen returned home with her cousin’s engagement gift. After reading it, she was still not in the mood to do anything, so she went out with her money and Shun Liu. While wandering in the street, she saw a jewelry seller. For the ruby ​​earrings, when I asked about the price, I felt that it was too cheap, so I chose another gold hairpin with exquisite workmanship.

When he walked out with the box in his arms, he was a little bit elated, and his head was full of imagining how shy and lovely the princess would be when he sent it out.

"Master, are you going to give it to the princess?"

Jia Zhen shook her fan and nodded.

"How to send it?"

"You don't know that, do you?" Jia Zhen smiled complacently. "I have been in touch with the nephew of the princess. Let's go and buy some goodies, and then ask him to help me hand them over to the princess."

When the Yang family boy received something, he didn't dare to give it to his aunt directly, but sent it to his grandmother first. The second princess was not surprised when she saw it, and didn't open it to read it, so she asked her grandson to send it to her daughter.

Zhang Rui is sour and doesn't want to hear how Jia Zhen flatters her fiancée and concentrates on preparing for Yuanyang's marriage. Start looking for a new big maid candidate.

She selected some suitable ones from the little maids to inspect, and then Nurse Jing brought the good ones to the master. Since they were all from the yard, she was familiar with them, but the one on the far right was the one with a very beautiful face. Girl.

When everyone got down, Zhang Rui asked, "Isn't she that... skinny horse? What's her name?" Although the figure was still so frail, she couldn't see the coquettishness.

"Go back to the old lady, called Meier."

"Yes, it's Mei'er, how can she come up to replace Yuanyang and the others?"

Nurse Jing nodded, with approval in her tone, "Mei'er was born to learn to serve others, she has read books and can read, she can learn things quickly, and she has a good relationship with the little maids, and her body can't give birth to herself. I also know it, saying that I am not planning to get married, and I will always serve you."

"Is that so? Who do you think it would be appropriate to replace?"

"If it succeeds, it would be more appropriate to replace Pearl."

Pearl is the last of the four maids,

"Okay, let the second-class maids take the ones you choose first, and bring up two of the second-class maids first."

"Yes."

……

Zhang Rui prepared a dowry for each of the four maids. On the day Yuanyang got married, she went to her wedding in person, and the other masters of the Jia family also gave her some dowry. Shun Liu sent a congratulatory gift.

Yuanyang thanked her master with tears in her eyes before waiting for the person to welcome her.

Zhang Rui held her hand and encouraged her, "Live a good life, you are a good boy, and you will be blessed in the future."

"Old lady, slaves cannot serve you by your side, so you must be well."

"There are so many people serving, you can relax."

When Guard Lin came, he also bowed to Zhang Rui. Zhang Rui watched him take the mandarin duck away, and he also had mixed feelings in his heart. These people are all flesh and blood, how can they say that they are just passing by and stripped of their emotions.

After another two months, the parrot also got married. Zhang Rui thought that he would stay here for many years, and the people around him came and went. It is better for mandarin ducks to come over often to say hello even when they are married, than not knowing when they will meet again.

Thinking that Jia Min, who was far away in Yangzhou, was about to give birth, Zhang Rui counted the days and waited for the letter to arrive, during which time he also ate the grain grown by Jia She.

Ever since Jia She started farming, growing some vegetables in the back garden the year before was no longer enough for him. The outside is rough and strong.

After the letter from Yangzhou was delivered, Zhang Rui couldn't wait to open Lin Ruhai's letter. It said that Jia Min had given birth to a daughter safely. The child was healthy, and Jia Min had no physical problems. He named the child Lin Qingyuan...

There is also a picture of the child's footprints and portrait attached at the bottom. Lin Ruhai said that he heard Jia Hu say that she had such a habit, so he also prepared a copy and sent it back.

Zhang Rui didn't expect that her vaccinations were really not in vain, and she gave birth to a daughter. Presumably, the old lady of the Lin family and Lin Ruhai would be a little disappointed, but from the letter, she only saw Lin Ruhai's joy.

In Jia Hu's letter, Jia Min's body and the Lin family's attitude towards her aunt's daughter were written in detail, but overall she was excited. Seeing that Jia Min was indeed not wronged, Zhang Rui was relieved, and then Excited to start packing the gifts to be sent to Yangzhou.

Because she didn't know the gender before, she prepared two gifts for a man and a woman to send to the past every time. Now that the child is born, Zhang Rui only needs to prepare a gift for the girl and send it to the past.

Even Zhang's and Wang's formally prepared gifts. After the second princess knew about it, she also prepared a gift and sent it to Rongguo Mansion.

The gifts prepared for children are all colorful and festive things. Jia Yu and Jia Xuan lived in the west courtyard for a period of time, and they often stayed with their grandmother during the day, and when they saw what they liked, they held it in their hands and didn't want to let go.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang wanted to take it back when they saw it, but Zhang Rui didn't let it go. It didn't make sense that the granddaughter wanted to grab it and give it to her granddaughter. It's not a rare thing, just prepare another copy.

Not only did they prepare things for Jia Min's children, Jia Hu lived in Yangzhou, and Mrs. Zhang also prepared all the food and money he needed to send there. A mother still doesn't want her son to have any grievances.
