Xing Xiuyan's Life in the Red Mansion

Xing Xiuyan's post-marital life is warm and sweet. The eldest princess sent a nanny to teach her to be a housekeeper. Xing Xiuyan studied very seriously and worked very hard. At noon, he would accompany the eldest princess to have dinner. After a short rest in the afternoon, continue to eat Housekeeper under the guidance of Mammy.In the evening, Yun Qingran and Murong Ling came back, they either went back to their yard to eat alone, or went next door to accompany Xing Zhong, Xing and Liu to eat together.

On this day, Xing Xiuyan had just finished handling the housework and was thinking of going to the kitchen to see what he was having for lunch today.The eldest princess ordered someone to call her over.

Xing Xiuyan went over and saw that Miaoyu was sitting on the side with a face full of shyness. When she saw her coming, she stood up and said, "Sister-in-law!"

As soon as sister-in-law called out, Miaoyu laughed by herself.Xing Xiuyan also laughed.

The eldest princess smiled and said, "Xiuyan is here? I came to you today because I want to have a look with you. Come and have a look."

Xing Xiuyan hurriedly passed by, the eldest princess pointed to a stack of papers on the table and said: "These are the families that Qingran and I picked. Home. I asked Yanran, this child is shy, she just blushes, and doesn't say if she is okay. You have a good relationship with her, please help her to see. "

Xing Xiuyan glanced at Miaoyu with a smile, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Mother's vision is naturally the best, which one did mother choose?"

The eldest princess smiled and said: "One is the second son of Gu Bianxiu of the Imperial Academy, and the other is the first son of Dongfang Jijiu of the Imperial Academy. Both Qingran and I think these two are good. Qingran has seen these two children before. They are all good. Here, this is it." The Eldest Princess found out the portraits of the two and said.

Xing Xiuyan looked over, and the man in the portrait looked good with regular features, not bad.Of course, the portraits at this time are relatively abstract, and it is strange to see beauty and ugliness. However, since he can be selected, it is estimated that the conditions in all aspects should be good.Next to the portrait is his introduction, "Gu Qingfeng, seventeen years old, born in Juren, has a gentle personality, is good at painting, piano, and chess. His paintings of cold plums in the snow were once bought for ten thousand gold." Xing Xiuyan read.

Seeing a flash of light in Miaoyu's eyes, she smiled slightly.

Then he picked up another portrait and read: "Dongfang Yu, sixteen years old, born in Juren, with a square personality, well-read poetry and books, good at calligraphy, and good at chess."

Needless to say Miaoyu, Xing Xiuyan won the first Gu Qingfeng first. "Mother, I think this Gu Qingfeng is not bad. It's quite suitable for my sister."

"Oh? How do you say it?" the eldest princess asked.

"This Dongfang Yu, according to the information, he has a square personality and has read a lot of poetry and books. According to this, he will go into an official career in the future. He wants to marry his younger sister, so he doesn't have the idea of ​​relying on the Marquis. However, as in-laws, helping each other is important." It should be. It's just that my sister's character is known to my mother. She is the most noble, so she may not be interested in these things. If there is a dispute over this matter in the future, it will be bad. Moreover, since she is going to be an official, as a wife, it is natural to go out to socialize It's unavoidable. My younger sister's temperament may not like these. And this Gu Qingfeng, who seems to have no intention of official career, is following the style of a celebrity, such a person is suitable for my younger sister's temperament, and in the future, he will be able to be a husband and wife, and a loving husband and wife." Xing Xiuyan said.

The eldest princess nodded in relief, "You are very good. I think so too. In fact, whether it is the Gu family or the Dongfang family, since they propose to my family, they have the intention of clinging to the Hou's mansion. But the former wants to use the Hou's mansion to The latter wants to rely on the Hou Mansion to ensure his son's smooth career. Between the two, there is a decision between the two. Yanran, it is about your own life, what do you mean? Woolen cloth?"

"Eldest Princess, I'll listen to you." Miao Yu had already made up her mind, and she chose Gu Qingfeng.She just wants to live in harmony with her husband, and live a leisurely life. She doesn't want to spend her whole life in the mortal world. It doesn't matter whether she is noble or rebellious, but she just doesn't like this kind of life.

The eldest princess smiled and nodded, "Okay, I understand." Then she said to Xing Xiuyan, "I will leave the matter of Yanran to you. These things will happen sooner or later, don't be afraid, if there is something you don't understand, just ask Wei Wei ma."

Xing Xiuyan was a little excited, but also a little apprehensive, she bit her lip, "Mother, I, I will do my best. Don't worry!"

The eldest princess smiled gratifiedly, turned her head to look at Miaoyu, and found that she was looking at the portrait of Gu Qingfeng on the table, and couldn't help laughing.

This is Xing Xiuyan's first time dealing with marriage matters, and she doesn't understand anything. Fortunately, there are many people around to help her, because it is related to Miaoyu, so she doesn't care about other things, so she invites Miaoyu to discuss it together, and Miaoyu is not that kind. A hypocritical person, the two of you had a discussion, and when I sorted out the dowry list and showed it to the Eldest Princess, the Eldest Princess was very satisfied, "Add these too!" The Eldest Princess pointed to a wooden box and said, "Inside are several Zhuangzi shops and the deeds of the people who guard the Zhuangzi shops. These people have been carefully selected by your elder brother. You are not good at handling general affairs, but you should know what you should know. After all, it is related to your future. Standard of living. Although your dowry is enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life, there are still your children. In the future, your second son will come back through adoption, so you must know everything. You can’t be as extravagant as before .”

Miao Yu blushed, "I know."

"Learn from your sister-in-law in everything. I heard Madam Wei say that your sister-in-law's business is booming." The eldest princess joked.

"This has nothing to do with me. I'm working with the second grandma of Jia Jialian. I'm only responsible for paying the money and methods. The specific management is in charge of the second grandma Lian. But the second grandma Lian really has a bit of a business mind, sister." If you can trust her, I can match you up." Xing Xiuyan hurriedly said, she is really not good for business.Most of the dowry shops are also rented out.Only cooperated with Wang Xifeng to open a few shops, but the income is not bad.

"Then thank you, sister-in-law." Miaoyu thought clearly, since she decided to join the WTO, she couldn't stick to the rules anymore. The eldest princess was right, she had to think about the future.

On the day of Miaoyu's wedding, the dowry was spread out, very dazzling.Compared with Jia Tanchun, who was married on the same day as her, she was much inferior.Not only is the quantity inferior, but the quality is also inferior.If there is no Yongping Hou Mansion for comparison, it will be fine, but the same day was chosen again.Therefore, there has been a lot of criticism.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng is very dissatisfied with this sister-in-law. This Jia Tanchun is the daughter of the second wife after all. Although she is not a direct descendant, the dowry is too shabby!Not to mention inferior to the Yongping Hou Mansion, even Jia Yingchun, the concubine's daughter of the Dafang, could not be compared.It was barely enough to make up 48 lifts, what does it look like.

"It's too much!" Mrs. Wang Ziteng whispered.

Mrs. Wang didn't care much about this, she pretended to be puzzled, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong? Sister-in-law is talking about the dowry of the third girl, right? Although we are the Duke's mansion, it's a good name. Master now It’s just Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry of the fifth rank, and the third girl is a concubine, how can this dowry compare with the concubine’s daughter of the Yongping Houfu?”

Mrs. Wang Ziteng was in a hurry, but at this moment she thought of this! "Forget it, I'm also thinking about your face. Since you don't care about it yourself, I naturally don't care about it."

How could Mrs. Wang care about these things, her Baoyu was already married, and she had nothing to worry about, if it wasn't for Wang Xifeng who arranged the dowry for the third girl, she wouldn't even give it to her.

Jia Tanchun was also a little sad, she already knew about the dowry, but what could she do?She can't do anything.Fortunately, the old lady gave her an extra 1000 taels of bank notes and asked her to keep them.But the master and wife didn't express anything, and the elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law only knew to pretend to be stupid.Even Lian's second sister-in-law and second sister in the next room sent over 200 taels of silver bills, but these two sister-in-laws only picked up those worthless worn-out jewelry and sent them over.It's so unkind.

"Third Miss!" This is Aunt Zhao's voice, what is she doing here?Jia Tanchun immediately sat upright.

"Here, you put this away. Don't let anyone know about it. There are also a few calligraphy and paintings. I heard they are very valuable. I quietly let Huan'er stuff them into the bag of the servant. You must remember to take them back. If Someone in his family dares to bully you, so don’t swallow your anger! If it’s inconvenient, it’s okay to ask someone to tell your little uncle.” Aunt Zhao stuffed a purse into Jia Tanchun’s arms, “I have to go, my wife should do it later. I'm looking for you. I inquired, the other party's family is good, you are doing well! You have a bright future, don't forget to carry Huan'er, that's your real younger brother!" At the end, Aunt Zhao's voice was a little choked, but still three Never forget Jia Huan.

After Aunt Zhao finished speaking, she left in a hurry. Jia Tanchun quietly opened the purse, and inside were brand-new banknotes, the amount of which was not large. I don't know how long Aunt Zhao has hidden them, and the calligraphy and painting she just mentioned, I don't know how she hid these things under the nose of his wife.Jia Tanchun held the purse and was speechless for a while.

"Girl, the wedding party is here." The servant's voice sounded, and Jia Tanchun hurriedly put away his purse, wiped away his tears, and sat upright, waiting for Lian's second brother to carry him out.Her good second brother is now injured and can't get out of bed.

Sitting in the bridal sedan chair, listening to the sound of blowing and blowing outside, Jia Tanchun's heart was ups and downs. For a while, he thought of the bank note given by the old lady, and for a while he thought of the jewelry given by sister Xing. Touching the purse, a drop of tears flowed down.Then she raised her head again. Even so, she will not regret her attitude towards Aunt Zhao over the years. Her character is hindered by being a concubine and not getting the resources she deserves. If she was also born by his wife, maybe she Will be better than now!In the future, she will not allow the appearance of a concubine's children.She didn't want others to suffer the pain she had suffered.

The author has something to say: I have been looking for time to save the manuscript for the past few days. First, my daughter will perform on Children’s Day. The teacher asked me to help make up the children. I guess I will run out of time in the morning. Another day is gone.Ahhh, when coding, I am most afraid of such sudden accidents.
