The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 69 Marriage determines all living beings (3)
Mrs. Xing was surprised and said: "All of them will be married to the eldest daughter? Then what will the eldest son-in-law do in the future?"

Lin Ruhai smiled indifferently and said, "There is only Yu'er in our family now, who will we not give it to him? Besides, I am still an official in the court, even if I retire in the future, Yu'er will never deny me as a father." " Daiyu cried out in disbelief, "Daddy..." Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Daddy knows that Yu'er is filial..." Mother Jia also disagreed, saying, "What should I do? In any case, we should leave something for the Lin family. Incense is what it is." Lin Ruhai said firmly, "You don't need to say more, old lady, my son-in-law has made up his mind on this matter." But he didn't take Jia Mu's worry seriously in his heart.The mother-in-law was not really worried about the incense of the Lin family, but worried that the person who inherited the incense of the Lin family would not have the blood of the Jia family.Thinking back to the fact that Jia's mother had been hinting that Yingchun could be married to him as a sequel, Lin Ruhai was always very responsive.Not to mention that he never planned to marry again, even if he had, he would not be able to marry his daughter's cousin.

Seeing Lin Ruhai's expression was determined, Mother Jia could only keep her mouth shut, turned her head and smiled at Daiyu, "Yu'er is lonely at home now, and your fourth younger sister is also at home alone now. Let her accompany you for a while "It was only then that Daiyu remembered that Yingchun and Tanchun hadn't been seen. "Aren't the second and third sisters at home now?" Lin Ruhai said with a faint smile: "Some time ago, the old lady sent someone to say that the second and third girls are This year's small election, I went to the palace. At that time, you were busy preparing for the election, so you didn't tell you." Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Exactly, now the second girl is serving by the side of the concubine Yi, and the third girl is here. Fourteenth elder brother is waiting by her side, the eldest girl must not have seen it." Daiyu thought for a while, although she had seen Concubine Yi, she did not see Yingchun by her side.She must have just been separated and can't be a close confidant.

Daiyu nodded, "I see." Did the Jia family actually send all their daughters to the palace?The second elder sister and the third younger sister are both beautiful and talented people, the Jia family's mind is probably not as simple as being a court lady for a few years and then releasing them to marry on their own.Looking at Xichun who was sitting on the side with a cold expression, Daiyu thought for a while and said, "Then how about having Fourth Sister Lao accompany me for a few days?" Others can see clearly.Xichun knew very well that Sister Lin and Uncle Lin didn't like their Jia family. If it wasn't for the blood relationship between Sister Lin and the old lady, the Lin family would be afraid to avoid them.She raised her head and saw Daiyu's eyes with a slight smile, Xichun bit the corner of her lips, nodded and said, "Thank you, Sister Lin."

Daiyu smiled slightly at her.

Mother Jia was very happy to see Daiyu so, she pulled Daiyu to her and said, "Yu'er is getting married now, if your mother could see it, I wonder how happy she would be. Yuanyang, bring the things for Yu'er. "

The mandarin duck responded with a cry and went out, followed by a few little girls, all holding a few boxes in their hands, Jia Mu pointed and said: "These are all left when your grandfather was still there, and I've saved some over the years to make Yu'er more beautiful." Opening them one by one, there are all kinds of jewelry and antiques inside, and all of them are really high-quality goods.Lin Ruhai quickly refused: "Old lady, how can this be done. It's better to save it for the girls in the house." Although it was a refusal, it was also the truth.Lin Ruhai knew in his heart that the current Jia family was already a strong outsider, and if it continued like this, they might not be able to provide a generous dowry when the girls get married in the future.You must know that in this era, dowry is a woman's face in her husband's family. Lin's family does not lack these, and it is not even icing on the cake for Daiyu, but the few girls reserved for Jia's family are very different.

Jia Mu glared at him and said, "They are my granddaughters, and Yu'er is my granddaughter. If there is Yu'er's future, there will naturally be theirs. No one can be left behind. It is my uncle who despises me as a grandmother to add to Yu'er's life." Is it possible to get something like this?" After saying this, Lin Ruhai had no choice but to order someone to accept it, and Daiyu personally thanked it.Mrs. Jia gave things, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing could not lag behind, and each added a few things.

The father and daughter talked with each other for a long time before sending Jia Mu and others back after eating.

Only when they really came into contact with the Lin family did they know that the Lin family has a profound heritage. Jia Lian and his wife lived in the Lin mansion with Xichun the next day.Xichun naturally stayed in Daiyu's small garden to accompany Daiyu. Although the princes of the Qing Dynasty had special dresses for their weddings, the princes and Fujin did not need to embroider wedding dresses, but Daiyu had to personally embroider some hi-quilt scarves and gift them to Yinzhen. purse and other small things.The chores in the mansion are all handled by the manager, his wife, Moran and others.Only important matters were reported to Daiyu.In fact, Jia Lian and his wife didn't have much to do. Jia Lian was just an assistant to the manager of Qili, and Sister Feng was just busy with the housekeeper's wife.Just looking at the boxes of dowry treasures that came in continuously from outside, Sister Feng couldn't help sighing: Compared with the Lin family, what are the four Jiashi Xue Wangs?I'm afraid that the sum of all the dowries of the girls of the four families is not as much as that of Sister Lin alone.

"What is fourth sister thinking? She seems to have been absent-minded these days?" Daiyu asked softly while embroidering the magnolia pattern in her hand.

Xichun shook her head, stopped her embroidery and said, "It's nothing, I just miss my second and third sisters a little bit, and I don't know how they are doing in the palace?" Chun hit her sister who grew up with her for more than ten years, so how could she not be worried if she suddenly went to the deep palace?The family only said that the palace was the most prosperous place in the world, but they didn't say that it was also the darkest and most terrifying place in the world.Although their Jia family is Baoyi, the sisters grew up being served by others. Now the second and third sisters enter the palace as slaves of others, and they don’t know how their lives are going when they serve others. .Maybe in another two years, even I will inevitably go there...

Daiyu put down her needle and thread, raised her hand and patted the back of Xichun's hand comfortingly, and said, "Second sister and third sister are both intelligent women, so there must be nothing wrong." It's just that there are too many intelligent women in a place like the imperial palace. What is more needed for peace and security is to keep one's own law and order.

Xichun nodded silently, watching Daiyu carefully embroidering the pattern in her hand, with a faint smile on her lips, she couldn't help asking: "Sister Lin, are you willing to marry Sibeile?" Daiyu was a little surprised Looking up at her, she asked puzzledly: "Why would the fourth sister ask such a question?" Xichun said: "It's nothing... I know that Sister Lin and Uncle Lin are not the ones who like fame and fortune, so I want to ask... ...Sister Lin, you..." Daiyu said with a clear smile: "I understand what you mean. If the emperor pointed me out to other people today, I will obey the order. But... I definitely won't have the mood I have now. .My fourth brother and I have known each other since we were young. He treats me well, and I want to treat him well. That’s it.” Xichun smiled and said, “I was thinking too much.”
