dream of red mansion

Chapter 582
The news of Jia Qing's engagement to Ningguo Mansion's first-ranked mighty general quickly spread among the neighbors near Ningrong Street.When some days are difficult, or people are too lazy to do anything, they hear that money will be distributed in front of the gate of the Ningrong Second Mansion today, and they all rush to go there.
The Ningguo Mansion also notified the good news to several mansions that they had made friends with very early in the morning.It's just an engagement, just send someone to inform, wait until the big wedding date is approaching, will send out wedding invitations and entertain guests.

Fang Shou went to the court early, so he didn't get the letter. When he got the news from Jia Zheng, he became happy.I am a young and mature closed door apprentice, and I am finally going to marry a wife...

As a result, he was very happy throughout the court meeting.Taking advantage of Emperor Zhengqing asking everyone to discuss the Mongolian war situation, Fang Shou couldn't hold back, and turned his head to talk about it to Lin Ruhai who was standing in the row behind him.

Lin Ruhai is Jia Qing's adoptive father, the two have this kind of relationship, and they work together in the court, so they are a little closer than others.

Fang Shou was purely happy and wanted to talk to someone, but Lin Ruhai had something on his mind, but he couldn't be indifferent to Fang Shou, so he could only smile with him.

However, Emperor Zhengqing at the top paid more attention to his two generals. Looking at the smiles on their faces, he knew that they were not discussing the war situation, so when the voice in the hall became quiet, he asked with a smile: "Old Fang Ge, Lin Shangshu I don't know why the two lovers are so happy?"

The whole hall fell silent.

Fang Shou and the two had no choice but to come out and answer.Fang Shou pleaded guilty and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, because my disciple got married today, and I was very happy. I couldn't hold back and said a few words to Mr. Lin. It's none of Mr. Lin's business for me to behave in front of the palace. Please punish me. Weichen."

Emperor Zhengqing said: "Oh, Fang Aiqing is a famous person in the country, and all the disciples she taught are pillars of the court. I don't know which of your disciples is married today?"

Lin Ruhai said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is the adoptive son of my minister and Jia Qing, the nephew of Mr. Jia from the Ministry of Industry."

Emperor Zhengqing was amazed: "He is actually engaged? Which family's girl is it?"

Jia Zheng came out and said: "Return to Your Majesty, the other party is Ziwei's descendant Xue Gong."

"It turned out to be his house."

The ancestors of the Xue family were also great people who followed the emperor Taizu to conquer the world, but he was a civil servant. He was an official at the time of the Zhongshu Provincial Zhongshuling, and he had great power for a while.It's just that the younger generation had no capable people, so they turned to become imperial merchants, and the Xue family gradually faded out of the circle of power.

But even Emperor Zhengqing, who grew up in Beijing, had heard of the names of the four major families in Jinling.It is not surprising that the Jia family married the daughter of the Xue family now.

Before Emperor Zhengqing could say a few words, Xu Jie stepped forward and said, "Lord Fang, the court is an important place, a place where state affairs are discussed, but you are talking about the private affairs of your own junior children, I'm afraid it is inappropriate? "

This statement is clearly here to find fault. Didn't see Emperor Zhengqing not only not to blame, but rather interested?
Cui Wenlong smiled and said: "Lord Xu is too fussy. It is true that the court is important. As ministers, we do things for the people and relieve His Majesty's worries. This is reasonable, but we don't have to be too rigid."

The implication is that Xu Jie is dull.Where Xu Jie could rely on, he naturally went back with cynicism, and soon became friends with each other, and started a fierce "debate" on whether Fang Shou was right or wrong to be happy for his disciples in the court.

In fact, this is how the court discusses politics, arguing with each other and finding fault, this is the daily life of the court meeting.

In the deep palace, Princess Xingyue found out about Jia Qing's engagement from nowhere, and she murmured: "Is that stinky guy engaged? Hmph, don't think I'll let you go if you're married, hmph, you Wait, there are still three months, three months later, this princess wants you to look good!"

After Lin Ruhai went down to court, he sent someone to call Aunt Zhong over.After Aunt Zhong arrived, he waved back and said to her straight to the point: "There is no need to mention what you told me last time. Now that Qing'er is engaged, just pretend that you never told me about it." I will choose one of the young heroes in the capital for Daiyu to be my Lin family's son-in-law."

Lin Ruhai was just narrating, not discussing.

No one expected that things would develop so quickly. Before he had time to probe, Jia Qing made an engagement in a flash.In this way, there is no need to speculate on Jia Qing and Daiyu's thoughts.

He thought that Aunt Zhong was just out of good intentions, but now that the matter has come to an end, he expected to stop thinking about it after listening to him, but Aunt Zhong just looked at him indifferently.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ruhai asked.

Aunt Zhong took out a letter, handed it to Lin Ruhai, and said, "This is a letter from Daiyu, please read it."

Lin Ruhai took it over and looked at it, feeling a little moved in his heart, and said: "Yu'er is a good child, it's just enough to have you take care of me by my side, she is not in good health, so I'd better call her... Forget it, it's been so many years, pick her up It’s good to come back and live for a while.”

Aunt Zhong frowned and said, "Could it be that Master didn't find anything?"

Lin Ruhai said: "What's the matter, Yu'er begged me to bring her back so earnestly, shouldn't I agree? If you have anything to say, just say it."

"It's said that you men are careless, so it's true. The master doesn't even think about it. It's not a day or two since we went to Beijing. The child Yu'er didn't mention moving back to live in the past few months, but now she is like this. Please, is the master not suspicious at all?"

Lin Ruhai frowned, yes, he has been in Beijing for four months, and this is really the first time Daiyu has asked to come back to live.Originally, he thought that Daiyu also liked Jia's house where there were many sisters and brothers, so she was reluctant to come back, so when he read the letter just now, Lin Ruhai was only happy.

"You mean, Yu'er is like this because of Qing'er's engagement?"

"Does the master think there are other reasons?"

Lin Ruhai was silent.Aunt Zhong complained: "You are still a father, and you don't know anything about your daughter's mind. Now that she is being bullied, you don't say you are making decisions for her, you just care about being happy!"

Lin Ruhai is a person who can argue right from wrong. Aunt Zhong spoke for Daiyu like this, so he couldn't hold her accountable, so he said: "But, the matter has come to this point, what's the point of talking about it? Since Daiyu and Qing'er are destined to be two One can only be brother and sister, then, that's the only way to go."

Aunt Zhong snorted, and said: "It's not your fault. As an aunt, I can only discover things after meeting her a few times, but as a father, you don't know anything about it, and you don't make decisions for her. No wonder Yu'er You can only let others bully you outside. Master, you should hurry up and send her back to bring her back. Let us two mothers depend on each other, and never let her go out and be bullied again!

And that kid Qing'er, he will not be allowed to enter the mansion in the future! "

Lin Ruhai didn't expect Aunt Zhong to be so angry that even Jia Qing would "hate" him, he said dumbfoundedly: "You forgot, he helped us find this mansion, you won't let him in now, come It doesn't make sense anywhere."

"I don't care. It's okay if the master doesn't listen. Anyway, I will tell the woman on the second door not to let him in again. If the master wants to see him, he can go outside!"

Aunt Zhong acted as if she was protecting her calf, determined to vent her anger for Daiyu.Lin Ruhai could only give a wry smile, thinking about how to tell Jia Qing when he came back...

He didn't blame Aunt Zhong for being arrogant, he was very pleased that she could treat Daiyu like this.In fact, the main reason is that he himself really feels guilty towards Daiyu.And there is another layer, he knows that his health is deteriorating, and how long he can live really depends on luck.

But Aunt Zhong is very healthy, if he goes, at least one more person will take care of Daiyu for him.This is also one of the reasons why he gave Aunt Zhong such a high status.

Besides, how do you think Aunt Zhong cared so much for Daiyu?Is it really just a good character?Of course, character is a reason, more importantly:
Aunt Zhong knew that Lin Ruhai was now over 50 years old, and her health was not very good.It is impossible for her to have a child of her own!

These days, a woman without children means she has no support.

Therefore, even though Daiyu was just a girl, she decided to treat her like her own daughter, at least, there would be someone who could comfort each other in the future.

This is the real reason why she treats Daiyu sincerely.

Not great, but good for both.

　You've heard of the six ministries of the three provinces, they are the top yamen anyway.So the ancestor of the Xue family is really powerful.It's a pity that there is no title, and it has been like this for several generations.
