Jia She's eldest son of the Red Chamber
Chapter 40
Xing's father was furious, his body swayed slightly, and he almost fainted on the spot. Xing Dequan was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Xing's father, and said anxiously, "Master! What's wrong with you? Master?"
In anxiety, even tears fell down.
Even the two concubines hurriedly surrounded their father, crying and asking, "Master, do you want to invite the doctor to come and have a look?"
Xing Xin was also taken aback, and wanted to take a few steps forward to have a look, but thinking that her father was mostly angry with her this time, she was so embarrassing that she didn't dare to go over.
Father Xing looked at the three children born to his concubine, and then at the concubine daughter who was held in his palm in the past, and sighed in his heart, it was because he was busy with political affairs that he entrusted the children to her mother to raise them, but the good child was taken by her mother Teach it like this.
Even brothers who are concubines are still brothers. If girl Xin has something in the future, won't she have to rely on her brothers to give her the head?Is it possible that he is still counting on his old father who has not lived for a few years?
Furthermore, Dequan, the second girl, and the third girl are also his own flesh and blood, and Dequan is his only only son. Girl Xin looked down on her younger siblings, and she may be of limited help in the future. If he doesn't help these three children fight After he left, who would these three children rely on?
Father Xing thought about it for a while, then made up his mind, and said in a deep voice, "I will personally discuss the dowry list!"
Even if he loses his old face, he can't let girl Xin empty out the Xing mansion to get married.
Xing Xin's complexion changed drastically, and she said anxiously, "Master! If you do this, what face will my daughter have in Rongguo Mansion in the future?"
The dowry list was all written out, but she revised it temporarily when she was about to leave the house. How could she be the head of the Rongguo Mansion in the future?
Xing's father smiled wryly, "Face? Our Xing family will soon lose its lining, so what face is there to care about!"
The food is almost gone, who cares about face!
"But...but..." Xing Xin rolled her eyes wildly, and finally said, "Then there are records in the government."
Xing's father said unhappily, "At least I have a fifth-rank official status. I can still do such a small matter as a father, such as changing the dowry list."
When he didn't understand Xin'er's careful thinking, he thought that it would be a sure thing if it was recorded in the government, but it didn't save his face, and he didn't have a long time. In order to save some life for the three children, he didn't care about these things.
Xing Xin's complexion changed slightly, and she still persuaded without giving up, "Master...but..."
Seeing that Xing Xin still wanted to talk, Father Xing said sharply, "Girl Xin! This is not up to you to be willful. As a father, I have already made a decision. You can stay at home in peace until I get married."
Xing Xin was anxious, "Master! I am your first daughter."
She is her father's only concubine's daughter, and the others are just concubine's children, so they can't match her.
Xing's father became more and more disappointed. He didn't expect that girl Xin had been so ignorant for so many years, so what about the daughter-in-law, can she pass on the Xing family to the next generation?What he valued most was his only son, Xing Dequan. Normally, it would be fine for girls to compete for food and drink, but this time he didn't even give the other three children any way to survive, so he couldn't allow it.
Father Xing really made up his mind this time, "Just stay at home peacefully and don't go out anymore. As for the housekeeper..."
He glanced at the He family who was eager to try, and the three children who looked worried. Father Xing finally gritted his teeth and said, "I will do it myself!"
What's the problem with the housekeeper? Even his stupid daughter can manage the house, but he doesn't believe that he can't!
But in less than ten days, Father Xing realized that he was wrong, and it was outrageously wrong.
Although the butler is a small matter, he puts a lot of effort into it. Although the Xing family is small, there are a lot of chores, but after only a few days, Xing's father fell ill again. Xing's father thought again and again, and finally Let Xing He come out to be the housekeeper.
Although the Xing He family also has selfish intentions, but the Xing He family is not as bold as the Xin girl. Besides, he always stares at the Xing He family, and he can stop it if he thinks about it.
Regardless of the turmoil in the Xing family's family, Xing's father first licked his old face and went to the Yingtian government office to get back the dowry list, and then he really came to discuss with Jia Daishan about revising the dowry list.
Jia Daishan already knew about the internal affairs of the Xing family from the secret guards. Jia Daishan also sympathized with Xing's father for giving birth to such an unworthy daughter. After all, there are very few people who don't even leave any way of life for their younger brothers and sisters.
Without further ado, Jia Daishan asked someone to send back Xing Xin's dowry list. Although Xing Xin's dowry was bought by the Xing family, to put it bluntly, their Rongguo Mansion really looked down on them.
Father Xing's face turned red, "After all, the little girl is too headstrong, this...cough cough..."
Father Xing wanted to ask if he would make up for his daughter... But given the family background of the Xing family, he really couldn't make up much, so he really couldn't say this, so he could only pretend to cough vaguely.
"Family, don't worry." Jia Daishan said with a smile, "We marry your family because we like the character of the girl in your family. The dowry and so on are all external things, not important."
No wonder!If he had known that Xing Shi was such a shameless woman, he would not have let his old wife choose her if he killed her.
"Even so, it's our Xing family who failed your mansion after all." Xing's father still apologized to Jia Daishan in a very reasonable way.
Jia Dai kindly said that the Xing family was sorry for me not only for this dowry list, although he disdained it, but Jia Dai didn't show his kindness, and kept trying to comfort me kindly.
Father Xing became more and more ashamed, his whole face turned red, and he just felt uncomfortable.
Seeing that Father Xing's appearance seemed shameless, Jia Daishan couldn't help being slightly surprised. He thought that a person who could give birth to a shameless woman like Xing's was not a good match, but he never expected that he would be such a shameless woman. Honest man.
Of course, it is definitely not stupid for Xing's father to be able to become a fifth-rank official today by himself, but compared with Xing Xin, he is really much more honest.
After all, Xing's father came from a grassroots background, so he had some small thoughts, but he dared not do evil, otherwise he would not have left Xing Zhong behind. Otherwise, given Xing Zhong's physical condition, he would only need to withhold some medicinal materials privately. , is enough for Xing Zhong to die without a sound, and there is one less person to compete with his own son.
Not to mention that Xing's father wanted to return the dowry list, revised it carefully, and then sent it to Jia's mansion in person. As time passed, it was the day when Xing Xin got married.
As the co-prefect of Liaoyang Mansion, Jia She said that there was a reason for returning to Beijing, but it was not good to leave the affairs of Liaoyang Mansion for a long time. Coupled with some reasons, Jia She and Xing Xin's wedding date was much earlier.
Or because of lack of time, the weddings in Rongguo Mansion are always somewhat deserted. Even the four kings, eight princes, and the four old relatives of the four families can't come. In addition to the matter of modifying the dowry list, I can't help being a little weak, so that's all.
Just seeing this situation, and Jia She's seemingly polite but actually alienated attitude, Father Xing inevitably had some ominous premonition in his heart.
Xing's father was really ruthless this time, and directly locked Xing Xin until the day she got married. Until she got married, Xing Xin didn't know that there were still some things in her dowry that could be kept. Mammy helped to inquire, but in the end even Mammy Wang was grounded, and she couldn't get any news.
Seeing that Xing Xin was in such a hurry, Wang Momo persuaded, "Girl, don't worry too much. It's just that the land and the shop are missing. It's enough to do what I bought before."
According to her, the girl is really greedy. Earlier, the master asked the girl to take away the entire dowry of the wife, and gave half of the dowry from the Rongguo Mansion. With the addition of makeup, the eldest girl’s original dowry was enough. Why do you have to take away the only money-making property in the mansion?
Xing Xin was very anxious. This Rongguo Mansion is not an ordinary place. In her previous life, she suffered a loss because of the lack of dowry. Then she would do it again, but this time Father Xing also made up his mind and would not let Xing Xin brought her family's property to get married, and even drew up a new dowry list by herself.
Xing Xin and Xing's father quarreled many times, but they still couldn't change Xing's father's mind. After the quarrel, Xing's father also became cold-hearted towards this daughter, and directly locked Xing Xin until the day of her marriage.
Before the bride arrives, the dowry comes first. On the day of the wedding, Xing Xin's dowry has already been sent to the Rongguo Mansion to put on makeup before the flower wedding has left the Xing family.
Ordinarily, the second wife and the second wife are things made by businessmen. In the eyes of some old-fashioned people, they are nothing more than concubines with a higher status. However, Jia Mu likes Xing Xin and insists on making faces for her. Jia Amnesty's marriage to the second wife was done in such a beautiful way, it was like marrying a wife.
Jia Daishan couldn't see it, so she really tried to persuade her a few words, but Jia's mother was as stubborn as Jia Daishan, Jia Daishan couldn't help it, and in the end it was up to her, anyway, he was not the one who lost face in the end.
Not only those old relatives deliberately went to see the Xing family's make-up, but even Jia Hu went there curiously. As an archaeologist, the most important thing is to study the relics of ancient people's lives, so he is naturally very curious about folk customs. Once I saw someone getting married, I couldn't help being curious.
This dowry is the basis for a woman's future life, and it is also the greatest confidence that parents give to their daughter. It means that even if my daughter gets married, she does not need to rely on her husband's family for supplies in all aspects. Therefore, the richer the dowry, the more confidence she has.
After all, he was married to the Rongguo Mansion. Father Xing also had some thoughts, hoping that the Rongguo Mansion would take care of him more. Although he changed the dowry and took back the land and shops of the Xing family, he also changed his ways to compensate his daughter. , a full 64-carrying dowry is also very impressive.
It happened that Xing Xin was married to the Rongguo Mansion. The dowry of this water is really not comparable to the dowry of the Zhang family and the Wang family. It is a bit embarrassing when the dowry is exposed.
Generally speaking, this dowry can be divided into real estate, land, furniture, cloth clothes, gold and silver jewelry, and servants.
It is not easy to live in the capital, and the Xing family only has one mansion where they live. Naturally, the real estate does not exist, and the land and shops have also been taken back by Xing's father. As for the furniture, they were brought in by Xing's mother back then. furniture.
Xing's father is from a grassroots background, and Xing's mother's background is not so good. She is just a merchant's daughter. Besides, in this day and age, there are some things that money can't buy. Xing's mother's dowry furniture back then was only made of rosewood. , not even red rosewood wood, not only the style is old, but also not complete, the servants of Rongguo Mansion have spent a lot of effort, so they can barely put it on.
As for the cloth and clothes, Xing Xin knew that no matter how much she prepared, she could not match the ones used in the Rongguo Mansion, even the orders issued by the Rongguo Mansion were better than those she usually used, and those rare fabrics were not from them. What you can get with this status as a family.
Xing Xin was somewhat self-aware, but she prepared eight sets of household clothes for each season and some daily-use fabrics, although they were also high-grade official fabrics, but in the eyes of everyone, they were not even as good as those worn by servants.
People in the aristocratic family like jewels and jade and hate gold and silver. Although Xing Xin tried her best to exchange some after her rebirth, she could not get much. There are quite a lot of other gold and silver jewelry, but compared with the jewelry of the aristocratic family, It is far less exquisite than the jewelry of the aristocratic family.
If it's just like this, it's fine, but Xing's father actually married a lot of small gadgets in order to carry the number. There are six boxes of rosewood combs alone, and there are other handkerchiefs, soaps, grates, etc. .
It's okay to use this trick in ordinary people's homes. Although these things are small, they are more practical. However, they are a bit unreliable when used in Rongguo Mansion and other places. When many people see those combs and soaps... Such groceries, I couldn't help laughing.
Even Jia's mother was very embarrassed. Although she didn't care about the woman's family background, but it was so obvious that people knew that the woman's family had no foundation. After all, it was a bit embarrassing. Everyone passed by in a hurry, but they didn't notice the resentment of the dowry maid. color...
That maid was none other than Xi'er, Xing Xin's former confidant.
Wang Momo couldn't bear to take her life, so she sent her to Zhuangzi after being poisonous and dumb, and let her natal family take care of her. The Wang family also knew that Xi'er was a slave who made a big mistake. Even if she died, she would not Someone helped her out, and Xi'er was poisoned and dumb again, unable to speak, and could only let others bully her, so the Wang family boldly abused her wantonly.
A young girl who has just reached the age of ji, but only a few months, has been tortured by the Wang family. At first glance, she thought she was a peasant woman who had worked hard for many years.
Originally, according to the situation, Xi'er would be tortured to death by the Wang family within a year, but because Xing Xin and Wang Momo were locked up, and Xing's father didn't understand the secrets inside, So according to the past habits, she directly chose Xi'er and Huan'er, which Xing Xin was used to, as the dowry.
This Xi'er was sent to Zhuangzi, and a discerning person would know that she made a big mistake at a glance, and she would choose another one after reporting it. They deliberately asked people to bring Xi'er back, and sent them to Rongguo Mansion one step ahead of time, so that Xing Xin didn't even have a chance to object.
Of course, Xing Xin didn't know that Xi'er was still alive, and she didn't even touch the edge of the dowry list before she got married, let alone know that her father had unintentionally dug a big hole for her!
After putting on the make-up, it was the make-up shop. The Rongguo Mansion specially selected a few servants in the mansion who had living parents-in-law, parents, both husband and wife had brothers, and had children and daughters under their knees. While putting on makeup, she sprinkled something in the wedding room.
She didn't suffer in vain these days, she actually learned some little tricks, not only that, when she was escorted by Wang Momo to feed dumb medicine, she was careful and secretly changed the old girl's medicine box.
The medicine box was left by the wife to the eldest girl, and was cherished by the eldest girl. She didn't know what was in the medicine box of the eldest girl, but with the temperament of the wife and the eldest girl, there could be nothing good in it anyway. things, they simply stole them all.
Xi'er was illiterate, and didn't know what she was carrying, but she didn't intend to use these things, but she just wanted to confuse the girl, she took them in a hurry, and didn't have time to sort them out, so she mixed them all together and took advantage of the makeup. On this occasion, it was scattered in the room randomly, and a lot of it was mixed into the girl's makeup box.
Not only that, but Xi'er also secretly took some worms' favorite rotten things and hid them in the house. These rotten things were wrapped in honey, and they couldn't smell the smell at first, but as time passed, after the honey was licked clean by the ants, These things will fall out, and then...
Xi'er smiled complacently. Anyway, when the girl finds out that she has become a dowry tomorrow, she will inevitably die. Since early death is death, let's all die together.
Xi'er did it secretly, but she didn't know that Jia Hu had noticed her long ago.
Originally, Jia Hu was just out of curiosity to see the makeup process of the ancients in the spirit of research, but he never expected to see Xi'er sneaking things everywhere first. Of course, Xi'er's movements are extremely secretive, but The emoji on her head had already betrayed her.
Jia Hu rubbed his chin, feeling that the inside story was not simple.
Because Xing De was young, Xing Xin was carried on the sedan chair by Xing Zhong when she got married, but Xing Zhong was weak, and halfway through the walk, his hands and feet were weak, and the two of them fell to the ground hard.
Xing Xin fell heavily to the ground, and there was a sudden pain in her waist. Even Xing Zhong fell hard, and the two of them fell into a ball on the ground, moaning and screaming in pain.
"Hey!" the matchmaker exclaimed in surprise, "It's unlucky for the bride's feet to fall on the ground. Eldest young master, why are you so careless?"
Mrs. Xing He quickly helped Xing Zhong up, seeing the matchmaker kept blaming her husband, she gave the matchmaker a hard look, and said angrily, "Didn't you see that the old man is also in great pain?"
Then she whispered half to herself, "Is she just a concubine, she has so many rules."
If she doesn't know, the eldest girl said that she is a second-bedroom wife, but she is just a noble concubine, and she is serious about it as a wedding. The whole family has been tired for several days because of her, and it made the uncle fall. I fell.
The matchmaker said in displeasure, "How can I say she is a concubine? The eldest lady of your mansion is a flat wife that Mrs. Jia said herself, so she must be serious about going on the family tree."
As soon as Rongguo Mansion was mentioned, Xing He did not dare to say more, but murmured and cursed indistinctly.
"Okay!" Xing Zhong regained his breath, and said with a smile, "It's because I'm a little weak, and my steps are not stable. I won't do it next time."
"This..." The matchmaker glanced at Xing Zhong, then nodded helplessly, "Young master, be careful this time."
Although it was an accident, she always felt that the young master's fall was a bit too coincidental.
Excluding the accident when getting on the sedan chair just now, the matchmaker was worried along the way, and she didn't know if it was because of the missed auspicious time. Quarreling is not auspicious at all, but it also delays the auspicious time.
That's all, when Miss Xing stepped on the tiles, something happened to the tiles, and they couldn't be broken no matter how much she stepped on them, everyone suddenly became embarrassed. The meaning of stepping on tiles is different, and it varies from place to place, but it is popular in Beijing. It alludes to the implication that the bride is a perfect body, Miss Xing can't step on the tiles, this...
In this regard, Jia Hu said that this is a resin tile that he managed to obtain, and if Mrs. Xing can break it by stepping on it, he will lose.
Don’t think that resin is a modern product. As early as BC, the Babylonians knew to use asphalt to pave the floor, and India is a country that produces shellac. In order to protect fragile bones during archaeology, natural resin is the most commonly used reinforcing agent for them. The use of resin, he can be said to be superb, making a mere resin tile is nothing.
Of course, the main reason for not being able to step on it is because Xing Xin has a guilty conscience. If she steps on it for a long time, it will still break.
The matchmaker has worked as a matchmaker for most of her life, and this is the first time she has encountered such a situation. In the end, the servants replaced a tile, and then barely passed.
Unexpectedly, the tiles have been closed, and when passing the brazier, there is another moth.
When passing the brazier, the flames in the brazier suddenly churned, almost burning the eldest girl, but at the moment when everyone panicked and rushed to put out the fire, the flames were retracted again, and then went out like this! ! !
That's right, off!Really turned off.Looking at the brazier, the matchmaker was dumbfounded.
Although in order to avoid burning the bride, the carbon in the brazier would never be put too much, but it was such a coincidence that the fire in the brazier went out before the bride passed by, and this was the first time she encountered it.
In this regard, Jia Hu said that there is a kind of fire called tempering, which is the so-called secondary combustion, but it is too technical and children should not learn it.
The matchmakers whispered to themselves, is there really something wrong with Miss Xing, or something might happen once or twice, and at this time, Xing Xin, who had a ghost in her heart, was so frightened that her legs went limp.
After much difficulty, the matchmaker finally sent the bride to the Ruoshu Hall in the East Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion. She passed five trials and cut six generals along the way, which was much more tiring than the many cases she had taken in the past.
Not only her, but even Xing Xin was a little shocked, and even thinking that her innocence had been lost, she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
Xing Xin thought that she would go directly to Rongxi Hall to pay homage just like her previous life, but she never expected that the matchmaker would send her directly to Ruoshu Hall.
Xing Xin endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, "Matchmaker, why don't you go to the hall?"
When the bride enters the door, she should pay homage first. What does it look like to be sent directly into the room?She is the serious headed wife of Rongguo Mansion, and she is not a concubine, how could she be sent to the house indiscriminately, and it will be over?
It's a pity that Wang Momo went to prescribe the medicine and was not by her side, otherwise it would be better for Wang Momo to inquire about it.
The matchmaker was embarrassed for a moment, and finally said in a low voice, "Just now Rongguo Mansion sent someone to tell you to send the girl to Ruoshu Hall first."
"What about after that?" Xing Xin asked, "When will you worship?"
The matchmaker didn't dare to speak, she knew in her heart that Rongguo Mansion's attitude clearly treated the eldest daughter of the Xing family as a concubine.
Xing Xin trembled with anger, and said angrily, "I am the second wife of a famous matchmaker in Rongguo Mansion!"
The matchmaker smiled and said, "Girl, wait a minute, I'll go and find out."
Although it was to inquire, but as soon as the matchmaker left the wedding room and received the reward, she hurried away.
The matchmaker secretly thought it was bad luck, this Rongguo Mansion is really weird, at first Mrs. Jia clearly said that it should be done in a serious manner, but now people say that it is good to welcome into the new house quietly, this is not a wife, a concubine or a concubine. I don't know what the hell the Rongguo Mansion is doing.
She vaguely heard that Mr. Jia and Mr. Jia insisted not to pay homage, and just send Miss Xing into the new house. Although Mrs. Jia objected, this matter was decided by Mr. Jia. According to their father and son's thoughts, treat them as concubines.
The matchmaker secretly sympathized with Miss Xing, she was obviously a serious second wife, and it would be embarrassing for her to have a wife or a concubine after being treated like this, but she did not dare to participate in the mess of entering the Rongguo Mansion Among them, I found a reason and slipped out. Anyway, this is 'the newcomer entered the room, and the matchmaker threw it over the wall'.She just loves herself a bit, and she just leaves first.
Jia Amnesty refused to enter the new house, and Xing Xin did not dare to lift her hijab. Although she was sitting upright on the bed, the handkerchief in her hand was already messed up.
The matchmaker slipped away, Wang Momo was not around, and the dowry maid did not know where to go, and the maid assigned to her by the Rongguo Mansion was like a dead person without saying a word.
Xing Xin just felt that the days were like years, and she was very flustered. She remembered that in the previous life, although the old lady Jia was quite dissatisfied with her, she couldn't pick anyone better than her, and finally hired her to be Jia's wife. My daughter-in-law also paid her respects in Rongxi Hall in a serious manner, but...but why has everything changed now?
Could it be...
Thinking of the matter between herself and the fifth prince, Xing Xin's heart tightened, and she became more and more anxious. Although not many people knew about the fifth prince's insult to her, the guards in the fifth prince's mansion were more or less aware of it, and they even stepped forward. Post to her concubine Xu...
Even if Concubine Xu didn't know it at first, she would definitely know it later. Could it be that the fifth prince dared to insult the name of his wife and let people let this matter out?
No!Even if the fifth prince wants to die, so many people know, how many mouths can he seal?
Thinking of this, Xing Xin wanted to wake up her previous self. So many people knew about it, how could she think that she could get over it?And risked marrying into the Rongguo Mansion?
Xing Xin waited anxiously, not sure if it was her illusion, there was a faint rancid smell in the room, it was already autumn, and there were still many mosquitoes in the room, no matter how hard they drove them away, even a few The maid couldn't hold it anymore, she found a reason to leave, leaving Xing Xin alone to wait.
It wasn't until late at night that Xing Xin saw Jia She came in with a cold face. As soon as he came in, Jia She shouted loudly, "Mr. Xing! You are so brave!"
In addition to Jia Amnesty, there is also Wang Momo who is being escorted by a servant girl.
Xing Xin turned pale immediately.
The author has something to say that tempering fire is actually not that easy, so let’s just take a look here. In addition, fire is very dangerous. Jia Hu is a bad example, don’t learn from it!

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
In anxiety, even tears fell down.
Even the two concubines hurriedly surrounded their father, crying and asking, "Master, do you want to invite the doctor to come and have a look?"
Xing Xin was also taken aback, and wanted to take a few steps forward to have a look, but thinking that her father was mostly angry with her this time, she was so embarrassing that she didn't dare to go over.
Father Xing looked at the three children born to his concubine, and then at the concubine daughter who was held in his palm in the past, and sighed in his heart, it was because he was busy with political affairs that he entrusted the children to her mother to raise them, but the good child was taken by her mother Teach it like this.
Even brothers who are concubines are still brothers. If girl Xin has something in the future, won't she have to rely on her brothers to give her the head?Is it possible that he is still counting on his old father who has not lived for a few years?
Furthermore, Dequan, the second girl, and the third girl are also his own flesh and blood, and Dequan is his only only son. Girl Xin looked down on her younger siblings, and she may be of limited help in the future. If he doesn't help these three children fight After he left, who would these three children rely on?
Father Xing thought about it for a while, then made up his mind, and said in a deep voice, "I will personally discuss the dowry list!"
Even if he loses his old face, he can't let girl Xin empty out the Xing mansion to get married.
Xing Xin's complexion changed drastically, and she said anxiously, "Master! If you do this, what face will my daughter have in Rongguo Mansion in the future?"
The dowry list was all written out, but she revised it temporarily when she was about to leave the house. How could she be the head of the Rongguo Mansion in the future?
Xing's father smiled wryly, "Face? Our Xing family will soon lose its lining, so what face is there to care about!"
The food is almost gone, who cares about face!
"But...but..." Xing Xin rolled her eyes wildly, and finally said, "Then there are records in the government."
Xing's father said unhappily, "At least I have a fifth-rank official status. I can still do such a small matter as a father, such as changing the dowry list."
When he didn't understand Xin'er's careful thinking, he thought that it would be a sure thing if it was recorded in the government, but it didn't save his face, and he didn't have a long time. In order to save some life for the three children, he didn't care about these things.
Xing Xin's complexion changed slightly, and she still persuaded without giving up, "Master...but..."
Seeing that Xing Xin still wanted to talk, Father Xing said sharply, "Girl Xin! This is not up to you to be willful. As a father, I have already made a decision. You can stay at home in peace until I get married."
Xing Xin was anxious, "Master! I am your first daughter."
She is her father's only concubine's daughter, and the others are just concubine's children, so they can't match her.
Xing's father became more and more disappointed. He didn't expect that girl Xin had been so ignorant for so many years, so what about the daughter-in-law, can she pass on the Xing family to the next generation?What he valued most was his only son, Xing Dequan. Normally, it would be fine for girls to compete for food and drink, but this time he didn't even give the other three children any way to survive, so he couldn't allow it.
Father Xing really made up his mind this time, "Just stay at home peacefully and don't go out anymore. As for the housekeeper..."
He glanced at the He family who was eager to try, and the three children who looked worried. Father Xing finally gritted his teeth and said, "I will do it myself!"
What's the problem with the housekeeper? Even his stupid daughter can manage the house, but he doesn't believe that he can't!
But in less than ten days, Father Xing realized that he was wrong, and it was outrageously wrong.
Although the butler is a small matter, he puts a lot of effort into it. Although the Xing family is small, there are a lot of chores, but after only a few days, Xing's father fell ill again. Xing's father thought again and again, and finally Let Xing He come out to be the housekeeper.
Although the Xing He family also has selfish intentions, but the Xing He family is not as bold as the Xin girl. Besides, he always stares at the Xing He family, and he can stop it if he thinks about it.
Regardless of the turmoil in the Xing family's family, Xing's father first licked his old face and went to the Yingtian government office to get back the dowry list, and then he really came to discuss with Jia Daishan about revising the dowry list.
Jia Daishan already knew about the internal affairs of the Xing family from the secret guards. Jia Daishan also sympathized with Xing's father for giving birth to such an unworthy daughter. After all, there are very few people who don't even leave any way of life for their younger brothers and sisters.
Without further ado, Jia Daishan asked someone to send back Xing Xin's dowry list. Although Xing Xin's dowry was bought by the Xing family, to put it bluntly, their Rongguo Mansion really looked down on them.
Father Xing's face turned red, "After all, the little girl is too headstrong, this...cough cough..."
Father Xing wanted to ask if he would make up for his daughter... But given the family background of the Xing family, he really couldn't make up much, so he really couldn't say this, so he could only pretend to cough vaguely.
"Family, don't worry." Jia Daishan said with a smile, "We marry your family because we like the character of the girl in your family. The dowry and so on are all external things, not important."
No wonder!If he had known that Xing Shi was such a shameless woman, he would not have let his old wife choose her if he killed her.
"Even so, it's our Xing family who failed your mansion after all." Xing's father still apologized to Jia Daishan in a very reasonable way.
Jia Dai kindly said that the Xing family was sorry for me not only for this dowry list, although he disdained it, but Jia Dai didn't show his kindness, and kept trying to comfort me kindly.
Father Xing became more and more ashamed, his whole face turned red, and he just felt uncomfortable.
Seeing that Father Xing's appearance seemed shameless, Jia Daishan couldn't help being slightly surprised. He thought that a person who could give birth to a shameless woman like Xing's was not a good match, but he never expected that he would be such a shameless woman. Honest man.
Of course, it is definitely not stupid for Xing's father to be able to become a fifth-rank official today by himself, but compared with Xing Xin, he is really much more honest.
After all, Xing's father came from a grassroots background, so he had some small thoughts, but he dared not do evil, otherwise he would not have left Xing Zhong behind. Otherwise, given Xing Zhong's physical condition, he would only need to withhold some medicinal materials privately. , is enough for Xing Zhong to die without a sound, and there is one less person to compete with his own son.
Not to mention that Xing's father wanted to return the dowry list, revised it carefully, and then sent it to Jia's mansion in person. As time passed, it was the day when Xing Xin got married.
As the co-prefect of Liaoyang Mansion, Jia She said that there was a reason for returning to Beijing, but it was not good to leave the affairs of Liaoyang Mansion for a long time. Coupled with some reasons, Jia She and Xing Xin's wedding date was much earlier.
Or because of lack of time, the weddings in Rongguo Mansion are always somewhat deserted. Even the four kings, eight princes, and the four old relatives of the four families can't come. In addition to the matter of modifying the dowry list, I can't help being a little weak, so that's all.
Just seeing this situation, and Jia She's seemingly polite but actually alienated attitude, Father Xing inevitably had some ominous premonition in his heart.
Xing's father was really ruthless this time, and directly locked Xing Xin until the day she got married. Until she got married, Xing Xin didn't know that there were still some things in her dowry that could be kept. Mammy helped to inquire, but in the end even Mammy Wang was grounded, and she couldn't get any news.
Seeing that Xing Xin was in such a hurry, Wang Momo persuaded, "Girl, don't worry too much. It's just that the land and the shop are missing. It's enough to do what I bought before."
According to her, the girl is really greedy. Earlier, the master asked the girl to take away the entire dowry of the wife, and gave half of the dowry from the Rongguo Mansion. With the addition of makeup, the eldest girl’s original dowry was enough. Why do you have to take away the only money-making property in the mansion?
Xing Xin was very anxious. This Rongguo Mansion is not an ordinary place. In her previous life, she suffered a loss because of the lack of dowry. Then she would do it again, but this time Father Xing also made up his mind and would not let Xing Xin brought her family's property to get married, and even drew up a new dowry list by herself.
Xing Xin and Xing's father quarreled many times, but they still couldn't change Xing's father's mind. After the quarrel, Xing's father also became cold-hearted towards this daughter, and directly locked Xing Xin until the day of her marriage.
Before the bride arrives, the dowry comes first. On the day of the wedding, Xing Xin's dowry has already been sent to the Rongguo Mansion to put on makeup before the flower wedding has left the Xing family.
Ordinarily, the second wife and the second wife are things made by businessmen. In the eyes of some old-fashioned people, they are nothing more than concubines with a higher status. However, Jia Mu likes Xing Xin and insists on making faces for her. Jia Amnesty's marriage to the second wife was done in such a beautiful way, it was like marrying a wife.
Jia Daishan couldn't see it, so she really tried to persuade her a few words, but Jia's mother was as stubborn as Jia Daishan, Jia Daishan couldn't help it, and in the end it was up to her, anyway, he was not the one who lost face in the end.
Not only those old relatives deliberately went to see the Xing family's make-up, but even Jia Hu went there curiously. As an archaeologist, the most important thing is to study the relics of ancient people's lives, so he is naturally very curious about folk customs. Once I saw someone getting married, I couldn't help being curious.
This dowry is the basis for a woman's future life, and it is also the greatest confidence that parents give to their daughter. It means that even if my daughter gets married, she does not need to rely on her husband's family for supplies in all aspects. Therefore, the richer the dowry, the more confidence she has.
After all, he was married to the Rongguo Mansion. Father Xing also had some thoughts, hoping that the Rongguo Mansion would take care of him more. Although he changed the dowry and took back the land and shops of the Xing family, he also changed his ways to compensate his daughter. , a full 64-carrying dowry is also very impressive.
It happened that Xing Xin was married to the Rongguo Mansion. The dowry of this water is really not comparable to the dowry of the Zhang family and the Wang family. It is a bit embarrassing when the dowry is exposed.
Generally speaking, this dowry can be divided into real estate, land, furniture, cloth clothes, gold and silver jewelry, and servants.
It is not easy to live in the capital, and the Xing family only has one mansion where they live. Naturally, the real estate does not exist, and the land and shops have also been taken back by Xing's father. As for the furniture, they were brought in by Xing's mother back then. furniture.
Xing's father is from a grassroots background, and Xing's mother's background is not so good. She is just a merchant's daughter. Besides, in this day and age, there are some things that money can't buy. Xing's mother's dowry furniture back then was only made of rosewood. , not even red rosewood wood, not only the style is old, but also not complete, the servants of Rongguo Mansion have spent a lot of effort, so they can barely put it on.
As for the cloth and clothes, Xing Xin knew that no matter how much she prepared, she could not match the ones used in the Rongguo Mansion, even the orders issued by the Rongguo Mansion were better than those she usually used, and those rare fabrics were not from them. What you can get with this status as a family.
Xing Xin was somewhat self-aware, but she prepared eight sets of household clothes for each season and some daily-use fabrics, although they were also high-grade official fabrics, but in the eyes of everyone, they were not even as good as those worn by servants.
People in the aristocratic family like jewels and jade and hate gold and silver. Although Xing Xin tried her best to exchange some after her rebirth, she could not get much. There are quite a lot of other gold and silver jewelry, but compared with the jewelry of the aristocratic family, It is far less exquisite than the jewelry of the aristocratic family.
If it's just like this, it's fine, but Xing's father actually married a lot of small gadgets in order to carry the number. There are six boxes of rosewood combs alone, and there are other handkerchiefs, soaps, grates, etc. .
It's okay to use this trick in ordinary people's homes. Although these things are small, they are more practical. However, they are a bit unreliable when used in Rongguo Mansion and other places. When many people see those combs and soaps... Such groceries, I couldn't help laughing.
Even Jia's mother was very embarrassed. Although she didn't care about the woman's family background, but it was so obvious that people knew that the woman's family had no foundation. After all, it was a bit embarrassing. Everyone passed by in a hurry, but they didn't notice the resentment of the dowry maid. color...
That maid was none other than Xi'er, Xing Xin's former confidant.
Wang Momo couldn't bear to take her life, so she sent her to Zhuangzi after being poisonous and dumb, and let her natal family take care of her. The Wang family also knew that Xi'er was a slave who made a big mistake. Even if she died, she would not Someone helped her out, and Xi'er was poisoned and dumb again, unable to speak, and could only let others bully her, so the Wang family boldly abused her wantonly.
A young girl who has just reached the age of ji, but only a few months, has been tortured by the Wang family. At first glance, she thought she was a peasant woman who had worked hard for many years.
Originally, according to the situation, Xi'er would be tortured to death by the Wang family within a year, but because Xing Xin and Wang Momo were locked up, and Xing's father didn't understand the secrets inside, So according to the past habits, she directly chose Xi'er and Huan'er, which Xing Xin was used to, as the dowry.
This Xi'er was sent to Zhuangzi, and a discerning person would know that she made a big mistake at a glance, and she would choose another one after reporting it. They deliberately asked people to bring Xi'er back, and sent them to Rongguo Mansion one step ahead of time, so that Xing Xin didn't even have a chance to object.
Of course, Xing Xin didn't know that Xi'er was still alive, and she didn't even touch the edge of the dowry list before she got married, let alone know that her father had unintentionally dug a big hole for her!
After putting on the make-up, it was the make-up shop. The Rongguo Mansion specially selected a few servants in the mansion who had living parents-in-law, parents, both husband and wife had brothers, and had children and daughters under their knees. While putting on makeup, she sprinkled something in the wedding room.
She didn't suffer in vain these days, she actually learned some little tricks, not only that, when she was escorted by Wang Momo to feed dumb medicine, she was careful and secretly changed the old girl's medicine box.
The medicine box was left by the wife to the eldest girl, and was cherished by the eldest girl. She didn't know what was in the medicine box of the eldest girl, but with the temperament of the wife and the eldest girl, there could be nothing good in it anyway. things, they simply stole them all.
Xi'er was illiterate, and didn't know what she was carrying, but she didn't intend to use these things, but she just wanted to confuse the girl, she took them in a hurry, and didn't have time to sort them out, so she mixed them all together and took advantage of the makeup. On this occasion, it was scattered in the room randomly, and a lot of it was mixed into the girl's makeup box.
Not only that, but Xi'er also secretly took some worms' favorite rotten things and hid them in the house. These rotten things were wrapped in honey, and they couldn't smell the smell at first, but as time passed, after the honey was licked clean by the ants, These things will fall out, and then...
Xi'er smiled complacently. Anyway, when the girl finds out that she has become a dowry tomorrow, she will inevitably die. Since early death is death, let's all die together.
Xi'er did it secretly, but she didn't know that Jia Hu had noticed her long ago.
Originally, Jia Hu was just out of curiosity to see the makeup process of the ancients in the spirit of research, but he never expected to see Xi'er sneaking things everywhere first. Of course, Xi'er's movements are extremely secretive, but The emoji on her head had already betrayed her.
Jia Hu rubbed his chin, feeling that the inside story was not simple.
Because Xing De was young, Xing Xin was carried on the sedan chair by Xing Zhong when she got married, but Xing Zhong was weak, and halfway through the walk, his hands and feet were weak, and the two of them fell to the ground hard.
Xing Xin fell heavily to the ground, and there was a sudden pain in her waist. Even Xing Zhong fell hard, and the two of them fell into a ball on the ground, moaning and screaming in pain.
"Hey!" the matchmaker exclaimed in surprise, "It's unlucky for the bride's feet to fall on the ground. Eldest young master, why are you so careless?"
Mrs. Xing He quickly helped Xing Zhong up, seeing the matchmaker kept blaming her husband, she gave the matchmaker a hard look, and said angrily, "Didn't you see that the old man is also in great pain?"
Then she whispered half to herself, "Is she just a concubine, she has so many rules."
If she doesn't know, the eldest girl said that she is a second-bedroom wife, but she is just a noble concubine, and she is serious about it as a wedding. The whole family has been tired for several days because of her, and it made the uncle fall. I fell.
The matchmaker said in displeasure, "How can I say she is a concubine? The eldest lady of your mansion is a flat wife that Mrs. Jia said herself, so she must be serious about going on the family tree."
As soon as Rongguo Mansion was mentioned, Xing He did not dare to say more, but murmured and cursed indistinctly.
"Okay!" Xing Zhong regained his breath, and said with a smile, "It's because I'm a little weak, and my steps are not stable. I won't do it next time."
"This..." The matchmaker glanced at Xing Zhong, then nodded helplessly, "Young master, be careful this time."
Although it was an accident, she always felt that the young master's fall was a bit too coincidental.
Excluding the accident when getting on the sedan chair just now, the matchmaker was worried along the way, and she didn't know if it was because of the missed auspicious time. Quarreling is not auspicious at all, but it also delays the auspicious time.
That's all, when Miss Xing stepped on the tiles, something happened to the tiles, and they couldn't be broken no matter how much she stepped on them, everyone suddenly became embarrassed. The meaning of stepping on tiles is different, and it varies from place to place, but it is popular in Beijing. It alludes to the implication that the bride is a perfect body, Miss Xing can't step on the tiles, this...
In this regard, Jia Hu said that this is a resin tile that he managed to obtain, and if Mrs. Xing can break it by stepping on it, he will lose.
Don’t think that resin is a modern product. As early as BC, the Babylonians knew to use asphalt to pave the floor, and India is a country that produces shellac. In order to protect fragile bones during archaeology, natural resin is the most commonly used reinforcing agent for them. The use of resin, he can be said to be superb, making a mere resin tile is nothing.
Of course, the main reason for not being able to step on it is because Xing Xin has a guilty conscience. If she steps on it for a long time, it will still break.
The matchmaker has worked as a matchmaker for most of her life, and this is the first time she has encountered such a situation. In the end, the servants replaced a tile, and then barely passed.
Unexpectedly, the tiles have been closed, and when passing the brazier, there is another moth.
When passing the brazier, the flames in the brazier suddenly churned, almost burning the eldest girl, but at the moment when everyone panicked and rushed to put out the fire, the flames were retracted again, and then went out like this! ! !
That's right, off!Really turned off.Looking at the brazier, the matchmaker was dumbfounded.
Although in order to avoid burning the bride, the carbon in the brazier would never be put too much, but it was such a coincidence that the fire in the brazier went out before the bride passed by, and this was the first time she encountered it.
In this regard, Jia Hu said that there is a kind of fire called tempering, which is the so-called secondary combustion, but it is too technical and children should not learn it.
The matchmakers whispered to themselves, is there really something wrong with Miss Xing, or something might happen once or twice, and at this time, Xing Xin, who had a ghost in her heart, was so frightened that her legs went limp.
After much difficulty, the matchmaker finally sent the bride to the Ruoshu Hall in the East Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion. She passed five trials and cut six generals along the way, which was much more tiring than the many cases she had taken in the past.
Not only her, but even Xing Xin was a little shocked, and even thinking that her innocence had been lost, she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
Xing Xin thought that she would go directly to Rongxi Hall to pay homage just like her previous life, but she never expected that the matchmaker would send her directly to Ruoshu Hall.
Xing Xin endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, "Matchmaker, why don't you go to the hall?"
When the bride enters the door, she should pay homage first. What does it look like to be sent directly into the room?She is the serious headed wife of Rongguo Mansion, and she is not a concubine, how could she be sent to the house indiscriminately, and it will be over?
It's a pity that Wang Momo went to prescribe the medicine and was not by her side, otherwise it would be better for Wang Momo to inquire about it.
The matchmaker was embarrassed for a moment, and finally said in a low voice, "Just now Rongguo Mansion sent someone to tell you to send the girl to Ruoshu Hall first."
"What about after that?" Xing Xin asked, "When will you worship?"
The matchmaker didn't dare to speak, she knew in her heart that Rongguo Mansion's attitude clearly treated the eldest daughter of the Xing family as a concubine.
Xing Xin trembled with anger, and said angrily, "I am the second wife of a famous matchmaker in Rongguo Mansion!"
The matchmaker smiled and said, "Girl, wait a minute, I'll go and find out."
Although it was to inquire, but as soon as the matchmaker left the wedding room and received the reward, she hurried away.
The matchmaker secretly thought it was bad luck, this Rongguo Mansion is really weird, at first Mrs. Jia clearly said that it should be done in a serious manner, but now people say that it is good to welcome into the new house quietly, this is not a wife, a concubine or a concubine. I don't know what the hell the Rongguo Mansion is doing.
She vaguely heard that Mr. Jia and Mr. Jia insisted not to pay homage, and just send Miss Xing into the new house. Although Mrs. Jia objected, this matter was decided by Mr. Jia. According to their father and son's thoughts, treat them as concubines.
The matchmaker secretly sympathized with Miss Xing, she was obviously a serious second wife, and it would be embarrassing for her to have a wife or a concubine after being treated like this, but she did not dare to participate in the mess of entering the Rongguo Mansion Among them, I found a reason and slipped out. Anyway, this is 'the newcomer entered the room, and the matchmaker threw it over the wall'.She just loves herself a bit, and she just leaves first.
Jia Amnesty refused to enter the new house, and Xing Xin did not dare to lift her hijab. Although she was sitting upright on the bed, the handkerchief in her hand was already messed up.
The matchmaker slipped away, Wang Momo was not around, and the dowry maid did not know where to go, and the maid assigned to her by the Rongguo Mansion was like a dead person without saying a word.
Xing Xin just felt that the days were like years, and she was very flustered. She remembered that in the previous life, although the old lady Jia was quite dissatisfied with her, she couldn't pick anyone better than her, and finally hired her to be Jia's wife. My daughter-in-law also paid her respects in Rongxi Hall in a serious manner, but...but why has everything changed now?
Could it be...
Thinking of the matter between herself and the fifth prince, Xing Xin's heart tightened, and she became more and more anxious. Although not many people knew about the fifth prince's insult to her, the guards in the fifth prince's mansion were more or less aware of it, and they even stepped forward. Post to her concubine Xu...
Even if Concubine Xu didn't know it at first, she would definitely know it later. Could it be that the fifth prince dared to insult the name of his wife and let people let this matter out?
No!Even if the fifth prince wants to die, so many people know, how many mouths can he seal?
Thinking of this, Xing Xin wanted to wake up her previous self. So many people knew about it, how could she think that she could get over it?And risked marrying into the Rongguo Mansion?
Xing Xin waited anxiously, not sure if it was her illusion, there was a faint rancid smell in the room, it was already autumn, and there were still many mosquitoes in the room, no matter how hard they drove them away, even a few The maid couldn't hold it anymore, she found a reason to leave, leaving Xing Xin alone to wait.
It wasn't until late at night that Xing Xin saw Jia She came in with a cold face. As soon as he came in, Jia She shouted loudly, "Mr. Xing! You are so brave!"
In addition to Jia Amnesty, there is also Wang Momo who is being escorted by a servant girl.
Xing Xin turned pale immediately.
The author has something to say that tempering fire is actually not that easy, so let’s just take a look here. In addition, fire is very dangerous. Jia Hu is a bad example, don’t learn from it!
