[Red House] Flowers are good jade circles

Knowing Wen Ruwan's fate, Daiyu couldn't help but sigh, but she didn't have sympathy for this kind of person.She only sympathizes with those who are powerless to determine their own destiny, and will never sympathize with those who reap the consequences of their own.For Wen Ruwan, it might not be the result of seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence.

The Thirteenth Master left the mansion for the first time in nearly ten years and went straight to the Lin family. He gave a dowry of 10 taels of silver, a pair of live geese for the head, a pair of octopus seafood for the back, a pair of coconuts, and a pair of big fishes that were one meter long. , and wine, meat, fruit, tea, etc., needless to mention.

Jia Min sat cross-legged on the couch, with a checklist beside her, and was discussing with Lin Ruhai, "The bride price must be brought back to Daiyu as it is. The three villages and four shops were decided early in the morning, plus 10 taels for other things." I will send people to Jiangnan to buy jewelry. The wood has been prepared early in the morning, and now I can hire people to start work. It is estimated that there will be no problem with a dowry of 120 liters, and there will be tens of thousands of taels of silver for her to bring to the bottom of the box. .”

Lin Ruhai listened carefully, "The bride price and our 10 taels, a total of 20 taels will be given to her at the bottom of the box. The Zhuangzi and the shop will pay the same, and the purchase will pay another silver. Is 5 taels enough? I will ask Leng Steward to give you the silver bill later. Send it here. After all, you are married to the royal family, and you are the eldest son's daughter-in-law, so how can you hold back with a small dowry?"

"Okay, I'm just afraid of Jingyu..." With only two children, Jingyu is going to marry a wife in a few years, her palms and backs are full of flesh, and if the bowl of water is not level, there will be a gap between them in the future.

"My son, if you're not good enough for this, then you don't need to admit it." Lin Ruhai waved her hand so that she didn't have to say any more.Jia Min thought about it and felt relieved.The siblings have been close since childhood, so they shouldn't care about these things.

The Wen family was sent to the abandoned prince's mansion because of a concubine, which ruined Wen Ruyu's marriage.Coupled with the yin and yang of the rest of the Wen family, who kept implying that she had not taught the concubine well, she fell ill all of a sudden.

Daiyu followed her mother to visit Wen's family, and the eldest grandmother of Wen's family greeted her personally at the second gate. Daiyu went up to greet her, and because she was already a prospective Fujin bestowed by the emperor, the eldest grandmother only accepted her half a ceremony .

When she saw the person, she saw that Third Grandma Wen's complexion was sallow, and she was even thinner and out of frame.Tears welled up in Jia Min's eyes, "What did you say, isn't it a cold? Why did you become so thin? How did you take care of it?"

"Mrs. Lin, hurry up and persuade our grandma, she has no appetite for anything, not to mention being sick, even a good person can't help not eating or drinking like this." Third Grandma Wen's big maid has already knelt down to kowtow to Jia Min.

Wen Ruyan and Wen Ruyu came in with a medicine bowl and millet porridge in the other.Putting down the things in your hands, the two girls were also in tears.

Daiyu was brought into her room by Wen Ruyan to talk, and Wen Ruyu sat with her for a while before leaving.Wen Ruyan's eyes were swollen, "Second sister is in a bad mood, don't blame her."

"Stupid, why is she in a bad mood, it's just that the characters are not compatible, they are unlucky." The other party returned the Geng post because the characters were not compatible, but everyone knew it was an excuse.Only Daiyu spoke out so confidently, and the momentum made people feel refreshed.

Wen Ruyan looked at her enviously, "If only I could be like you."

"You are the eldest daughter of the third family, and you have an older brother to rely on, so why can't you be confident. If you could have strengthened your courage earlier, your mother wouldn't have worked so hard alone." Dai Yu dragged Passing her hand, she only said these words once because she saw that Grandma Wen was too pitiful.Wen Ruyan listened as much as she could, but if she couldn't, she would never say a word again.

"At this time, everyone is watching your mother's jokes. If you don't help her, who will help her. Count on your father, or count on your aunts and aunts. Aunt Wen has a heart disease, and heart disease needs heart Medicine doctor. Who else can you count on if your daughter does not become her heart medicine?"

Master Wen San is not a heinous person, but he is too sentimental, and he always treats the woman he likes with a three-pointed attitude.In the eyes of outsiders, this is not a problem at all.But his own You Rongrong made a mistake, no one would blame him, but blame Third Grandma Wen for not being strict with her family.

At this time, if Wen Ruyan didn't stand up, Third Grandma Wen's spirit would break down, and she would really break down.

"I..." Wen Ruyan clenched the veil tightly and burst into tears.The mental torture she suffered during this period was beyond her imagination.Even she was depressed, she just wanted to hide and refused to see people, her father was drunk every day and escaped from everything.Think about your mother, how much pressure she bears.

Daiyu patted her on the back, "Crying can't solve the problem, but it can vent your emotions. After venting, you should think about what you can do for your mother."

"I see, thank you." Wen Ruyan twisted the veil and wiped her face with her own hands, and then took out powder to cover the tired look on her face.

After they finished talking, someone from Jia Min had already invited Daiyu to come over.

"Your mother is in poor spirits, so I won't stay any longer. You spend more time with her and talk to her. To put it bluntly, it didn't happen to her child. How long can this matter last? People say enough is enough, and this is over."

Wen Ruyan personally sent Jia Min out, Jia Min took her hand and shook it twice, afraid that the child would not understand.

"Thank you Aunt Lin, Ruyan was too confused before." Wen Ruyan sent them away, then went outside her mother's room, rubbed her face vigorously for a long time, and then walked in briskly.

"Fortunately, Ruyan's marriage has been settled a long time ago. Tian's family is also a well-mannered family, otherwise it will be even more worrying." Jia Min sighed and taught her daughter, "How can my aunt teach well? If she doesn't like it, she will follow me. Born with a surname, if you can't teach it well, you have to be strict, if you can't do both, something will happen."

"My daughter won't." Daiyu said with a smile, knowing that her mother was taking the opportunity to tell her what to do.

"It's good that you understand it in your heart. Let the imperial doctor come over tomorrow and give you some health-preserving pills. The royal family is not good at this, and they don't pay attention to the difference between the concubine and the concubines." When the wife gave birth to a son, the concubine was allowed to conceive.Only the royal family can't wait to spread more branches and leaves, and they don't pay attention to it at all.Even the emperor has a concubine's eldest son, and even before the elder brothers got married, he sent a bunch of concubines to serve him, and there was never a saying of drinking avoidance soup.

"Daughter means that he won't have any children from concubines." Daiyu smiled sweetly, her eyes flickering with coldness.

"Daiyu, you are not allowed to mess around." Jia Min was startled, isn't her daughter always kind, generous, intelligent and sophisticated?How can there be this kind of thinking, if you marry someone else's family, you can rely on Lin Ruhai to suppress your son-in-law, but if you marry the royal family, you can only suffer from your stubborn temper.She began to regret it. If she had known that her daughter had such thoughts, she would have chosen an affordable marriage for her daughter.

"Why did I act recklessly? Of course I came here for a reason. If he never leaves, I will accompany him through life and death. If he is ungrateful and ungrateful, I will destroy flowers with my hands." Daiyu didn't even move her eyebrows, she It's already very unlucky to cross into such a world from an independent and free place.In order not to fall into the predetermined ending in the book, she worked hard to get to where she is today.

Had she done so much to share a man with a bunch of women?No, never.

Jia Min was really in a hurry, "Which Elder Brother doesn't side Fu Jin and Shu Fujin, even if he doesn't accept it, the Emperor will be more protective. What you want to think about is how to make Elder Brother have you in his heart, as long as he respects and loves you, no matter how many women, What's the matter. Don't be confused, you will only push him further and further away."

"Mother, don't worry, I know what I'm talking about, and I understand the consequences." Daiyu decided not to say more, and she shouldn't be quick to talk and make her mother anxious.

Already at home, Jia Min didn't say anything, and let her daughter go back to her yard.The embroiderers that Madam Su invited were already in place, and each embroidered their own special work for Jia Min to choose.

"Let me see, if you embroider well, let's keep them all. There is a big family over there, and how many things need to be embroidered." Jia Min looked carefully, and those who could be selected by Su Momo could not go wrong with the work in their hands. .

"Yes, the old slave will arrange for them to live in Magnolia Courtyard, and it will start tomorrow." Madam Su handed over the list in her hand, which filled several pages with the types and quantities of work to be done, and asked Jia Do you want to add or subtract?

"Do it like this. It can be done if you think of anything. You can help me think more about it." Jia Min started to have a headache as soon as he handed over the matter. When did my daughter have such an idea? I know.

This matter cannot be discussed with others, let alone discussed, and dare not leak a word.This urgency, coupled with the hot weather, the chilled sour plum soup drank so quickly that it accumulated in my heart, and it burned that night.

Daiyu heard the movement in the middle of the night and asked Xingguo to inquire, only to find out that her mother was ill.He quickly put on his clothes and got up. When he arrived, Jia Min had already induced vomiting. He spit out the accumulated food, and he immediately recovered a lot. After pouring another bowl of medicine, the fever subsided.

"Hurry up and go back, I'm fine." After all, Jia Min was not young anymore, after tossing a bit, the skin on his face seemed to droop.The wrinkles at the corners of the eyes also deepened, making him look haggard and lifeless.

"Mother, rest well, I'll come back tomorrow morning." When Daiyu went back, she looked up at the bright moon in the sky, her heart moved, she untied the jade tablet from her waist, held it up in front of her, and pointed it at the moon in the sky.

"The moon is so beautiful, it turns out that you are the full moon." Daiyu talked to herself and played with it for a long time before she put away the jade token and went back to the yard.

Jia Min's illness was considered an emergency, and it came and went quickly. When I checked again the next day, except for a little lack of energy, there was nothing wrong with her.In order to nourish the stomach, the breakfast is boiled chicken porridge, which is also a staple food that is soft and glutinous.

Daiyu drank a bowl with her when she heard that a gift from Jia's mansion had arrived.

The person who came was a mandarin duck, and as soon as he came in, he said with blessings: "Congratulations, aunt, congratulations, miss, the old lady got the letter, and she was supposed to come yesterday, but she opened the private storehouse to pick and choose, and it took a whole day to pick it up. Just came today."

"Look at what you said, quickly show the girl Yuanyang a seat. How is the old lady doing?" Jia Min took the gift list from Yuanyang and put it aside. No matter what she gave, it was the old lady's heart. Appreciate.

"The old lady is very nice. The second young lady comes to talk to the old lady every day, and she makes the old lady happy." Yuanyang said with a smile, holding a small box in her hand, and only then opened it and handed it over.

"This one is not on the gift list. It is the old lady's dowry when she was young, and she said it was left for the cousin as a thought." Inside the box is a small emerald flower crown, which is precious, but not complicated, small and exquisite. Coincidentally, it is very suitable for young girls to use at home.

"I know this. I saw my mother wear it when I was a child. This corolla is too expensive." Jia Min thought to herself, her mother really loves Daiyu, but it's a pity that her mother didn't find a good daughter-in-law for herself.

There is also a screen carved with agarwood wood in the gift list. Wherever it is placed, you can faintly smell a fragrance.And just looking at the carver, you can tell that it is an old object. How can ordinary people have such a rich heritage, not to mention their own money, but such a large object that supports the scene cannot be compared with the Duke's Mansion.

There are also several volumes of rare books and paintings of celebrities from the previous dynasty. Seeing these things, Jia Min knew that her mother must have thought about them carefully, and they were all gifts that the Lin family could not easily buy in a short time.

"Go back and tell your mother, I will take Daiyu back to see her in two days."

"Yes, after listening to the old lady, I think she can eat half a bowl of rice more." Yuanyang smiled and got up to leave. When she left, Madam Su stuffed a big red envelope into her hand.

Daiyu liked the small flower crown of Diancui very much, and went to touch the screen of agarwood wood. She had seen one in a friend's house in her previous life, and it was only the size of a palm. people touch.

Such a big piece, if it was placed in the previous life, it would be a priceless treasure.Even in this era, it is also a rarity.The carvings on the top are flowers of the four seasons, peony, lotus, osmanthus and plum blossom.The texture on each petal seems to be engraved into the thickness of time, which makes people feel calm when they see it.

Go to thank the old lady in person, this is definitely necessary.Now that Baoyu is married, she no longer has any resistance to the Jia family, and she still has to do the proper reciprocity.Of course, if Mrs. Wang is really in charge of the Jia family in the future, she will never take another step.

Baochai combed the woman's head, and her plump figure is more suitable for today's grand costumes and hair accessories.A pearl tassel on her head hangs on her forehead, and it sways slightly as she walks. The round pearls hit each other, and the melodious ringing sound of the earrings shows everywhere that she deliberately dresses up.

"Congratulations sister, hearing this news, your second brother Bao was so excited that he didn't sleep well." Baochai observed her reaction carefully, only to see Daiyu smile lightly, and did not comment at all.

After talking about Baochai, she regretted it, and secretly hated herself for becoming that kind of ignorant woman who did such things like secretly spying on other people's reactions.She knew in her heart that Baoyu was simply unrequited love.She thought that if they got married, he would naturally take care of him.But she waited for a long time, but she couldn't wait for his heart.The more time passed, the more disappointed she became, and it was inevitable that she would feel jealous towards another person who had what she couldn't get without effort.

It's just that her reason didn't let this jealousy spread. She thought she was hiding it well, but when she saw her, she admitted that she had failed.

"Come in quickly, the old lady will be impatient to wait." Baochai was eager to hide her loss of control, so she took Daiyu's hand affectionately.

"I heard that my sister-in-law comes to talk to the old lady every day. It's a good thing that my sister-in-law is here. Brother Bao has grown up too, so he can't be like a child, and the old man will inevitably be lonely." Daiyu just had nothing to say, and responded casually. However, Baochai touched her stomach with a sad expression on her face.

Baoyu will arrive soon, and now he is being detained by Jia Zheng to study at home, and he specially invited his husband to force him to take the road of imperial examination.It was so easy to find an excuse, and immediately asked for a leave of absence to come to see the guest.

"Aunt, sister." Baoyu's joy came from the bottom of his heart, and it showed on his face without hiding it at all.

"When your sister went out, you brought a few younger ones to the Lin family to join in the fun." The Lin family had no relatives, even the clan members.When getting married, there are always many people to be interesting, that's what Mother Jia said.

"Brother Hongyun, how are you doing to my sister?" Baoyu was infatuated again, and instead of looking at the occasion, he looked at Daiyu and asked with reddened eyes.

Everyone present was used to Baoyu's demeanor, and no one took it seriously.

"Excellent." Daiyu said concisely, keeping her head down, not looking at his expression.

"That's good." Baoyu felt that she was about to cry, and her heart was broken petal by petal.He took a few heavy steps and fell back on the chair.

As soon as the back of his hand warmed up, Baochai's hand pressed onto the back of his hand, looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "Sister and elder brother Hongyun are also childhood sweethearts, and I heard that she is the daughter-in-law chosen by the thirteenth master himself, why not?" Probably bad."

"There's still this matter." It was the first time the old lady heard about it, and she turned her gaze to Jia Min.

"When Daiyu was a few years old, the Thirteenth Master came to Yangzhou on a business trip and came to our house as a guest. When he saw Daiyu, he said that he wanted such a daughter. At that time, he gave a jade plaque, but he didn't say it clearly. The following is Prince Yong's matchmaker, the master agreed. Looking back, it was really fate."

Jia Min glanced at Baochai casually, and explained with a smile.

The old lady just nodded, "It's really fate, how is the dowry, if there is anything that is not good enough to buy, just ask, Lian'er has become more and more on the road in the past few years doing some common affairs. I can run errands for you , your nephew, you can do whatever you want."

"Then I would like to thank my mother. If there is a need, my daughter will definitely speak up." Jia Min really has a few things and wants to find someone to go to Jiangnan to look at them for her.In this way, Jia Lian is the right candidate.

While Jia Min was talking to the old lady, Baochai took the opportunity to say to Daiyu: "My natal sister-in-law is going to hold a flower party in a few days, and I want to post a post for you. I wonder if you are free."

Xue Pan was married, Daiyu was a little surprised that she didn't hear the news.

Baochai also said in embarrassment: "Their wedding was held outside, and they came to Jinling after they got married. They wanted to get to know these relatives at home through the flower show."

No wonder, it's interesting to skip the marriage affairs and directly hold the relative recognition meeting.Daiyu nodded, "Then I must go." There was really no reason to refuse.

Daiyu received the invitation the next day, and it looked like it was written by Baochai. It was a flower note with a dark pattern and incense, and a beautiful small script with hairpin flowers.What is the origin of this sister-in-law, she doesn't hold a pen for a flower banquet.Thinking that Xue Pan was supposed to marry Xia Jingui as his wife, but because of her intentional or unintentional intervention, Xia Jingui and Xue Pan never even saw each other.

In the end, when she saw someone, not to mention Daiyu was shocked, Shi Xiangyun, Jia Qin, and some distant relatives of the Xue family or Jia's family who were invited to come, were all surprised from ear to ear.

What kind of Grandma Xue is this? It's clearly a female worm.Two thick eyebrows, extremely spirited eyebrows and eyes, not saluting when meeting people, but clasping fists.

When he was walking, the wind was like a tiger, and as soon as he took a step, the maids had to trot to keep up.His voice was like a bell, and he clasped his fists and said in a loud voice: "Thank you, sisters, for coming to support me. I have nothing else, and I have a glass of wine to show my respect."

As he spoke, he really poured a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp in front of everyone.Even the self-proclaimed hero Shi Xiangyun was dumbfounded, let alone other people.Almost everyone was petrified, and it was Baochai who rushed over, "Sister-in-law, why didn't you wait for me." Annoyed that her mother dragged her to talk, and ended up wasting time.

"Seeing you talking to your mother, I'll come out to meet all the sisters first. Sure enough, they all look like the fairies in the painting. Good-looking is good-looking. I'm afraid it's impossible to climb a mountain on a horse, let alone draw a bow and shoot an arrow." The determined look made people start to think, when Jinling changed the direction of the wind, will women also have to use horse-drawn bows?

Daiyu chuckled, "Then Grandma Xue often rides uphill, so what's she doing with bow and arrows? Hunting?" , looking for powerful women.Even Xia Jingui can pinch him, this Shanhuai is no problem at all.

"Of course, how can the people in the cottage not know these things, we..."

"Sister-in-law, it's time to invite the guests to sit down." Baochai interrupted forcefully, and Shanhuai slapped her forehead angrily, "Look at me, I forgot again."

Forgot, forgot what, Daiyu held back the doubts in her heart, very curious, what is the origin of this Shanhuai.

"Doesn't any of you drink alcohol? Do you all drink tea?" Shan Huai looked incredible, but he didn't know that others were equally incredible.

"My sister-in-law was born in the mountains, innocent and innocent, she is rude, please don't blame me, sisters." Baochai smoothed things over so that others dared to speak, otherwise I really didn't know what to say.

Shan Ban won all the players by himself, but she stopped playing Shuanglu.He also asked people, where in Jinling can race horses.

"Horse racing is not allowed in the city. If you want to run, you have to go outside the city. The Xue family doesn't know if there is a Zhuangzi outside. If you find an open place over there, you can run." Daiyu saw how pitiful she was, so she added.

"Really, do we have any?" This was asked Baochai.

"Yes, my sister-in-law wants to go, let my brother accompany you." Baochai's smiling face froze, and it was the first time Daiyu saw Baochai, who had long sleeves and was good at dancing, showing such an expression.
