Chapter 203 The Cousin Under the Fence (12)

"Furthermore, you don't know, right? Some of the families of the victimized girls were so angry that they gave the yamen a lot of money as a private bounty. According to my daughter-in-law's second aunt's little uncle, the family is not short of money. It’s also worth 800 taels of gold, and what’s more, there is some kind of richest man who raised the bounty to 5000 taels of gold in these days!”

Everyone gasped after hearing this, envious and jealous, if they knew this, they would have to splash their lives if they tried their best.

The servant of Du Guogong's mansion who came to inquire about the news also listened to it, and then his face flushed with excitement, and he went back to talk to the hostesses in the inner courtyard through the curtain.

Qiu Yuming rubbed the handkerchief, and said with a smile: "I wish my sister is really blessed. I didn't expect my brother-in-law to live up to your concerns. He easily earned a future for himself, and even took tens of thousands of taels of silver into his arms."

Zhu Jiayi smiled lightly: "It's only a few dollars, but it's worth what sister Ming said?"

Qiu Yuming was choked up, and immediately hummed: "Brother-in-law is a bit capable, but he didn't take the civil and military examinations. I don't know how many years it will be to get a small boss from Jinyiwei."

She spoke so fast that no one else could stop her, let alone the women in the room who had different minds and had no intention of stopping her.

The old lady frowned, "Yi'er, don't you want to imitate your father's brains.

You don’t understand now that a woman’s marriage is her second reincarnation.

We are both talented and beautiful, if we are not worthy of the dragon and phoenix among us, it would be a waste of God's kindness.Besides, that kid from the Dou family may not be able to protect you! "

Zhu Jiayi pursed her lips slightly and smiled softly, "Grandmother, there are many women with both talents and looks.

Yier is just one of them, how can she be special?

In fact, if her father had passed away, if she hadn't been protected by her grandmother, Yi'er would be just a grassroots person.

With no parents, no brothers, and a weak body, how can Yi'er find a good marriage?
On the contrary, he wronged Mr. Dou's family.

Grandmother, Yi'er has always remembered her identity..."

The slightest words at the end only reached the ears of a few people nearby, but the twelve or thirteen-year-old girl unexpectedly gave birth to some vicissitudes.

The old lady felt even more distressed, and hurriedly hugged her to say something more.

"Grandmother, you should promise Yi'er.

No matter what kind of person Dou Yu is, Yi'er will recognize it in this life! "

In ancient times, there were a few women who could decide their own marriages. Most of them were ordered by their parents and the words of a matchmaker. But she has no parents. If she pushes this marriage, then she is really hopeless.

The old lady wanted to ration her to Du Ziman, and Wen's wanted her niece Mu Shihua. In this tug-of-war, why would she waste her time for a mother who was mixed up in rouge and powder?

The old lady had no choice but to agree temporarily.

Wen's nervous expression eased a little, and she looked at Zhu Jiayi with a gentle look.

After a few days, someone suddenly came to the palace and announced that the eldest sister of the family, Du Baozhu, had become a concubine from a female official, and the first of the four concubines, Concubine De, was allowed to go home for half a day during the Xiayuan Festival to visit her relatives and give her a gift. Download a lot of things.

Everyone was overjoyed, and gave generous rewards to the palace servants, and then enshrined the imperial decree.

Wen's straightened up even more, and the fight with the old lady was brought to the fore, and let the big girl take her own body, give each girl some good fabrics, a pair of emerald hair, and shepherd poems and paintings alone There are more fans like Du Ziman and a ring cut from the same piece of jade!

The old lady's joy faded a little, and she also ordered the big girls around her to give some good things to the younger generation, and Zhu Jiayi got more than others a face inlaid with emperor green.This is a good thing she has saved up, and if she gave one set with less, it made everyone red-eyed again.

The concubines got the grace to go home to visit their relatives and pay homage to their ancestors, so each family began to rush to build courtyards.

Du Guogong's mansion has always been extravagant, the girls around the master are richer than the landlords outside, and they eat the same as the master.Because there is no separation, the first house and the second house are all thinking about the things in the business, and there are a group of housekeepers, maids and women. The money has been stripped layer by layer and put into individual purses. Now only a beautiful shell is left. .

Building a yard cost a lot, and Du Guogong's mansion was concerned about face, so they began to secretly take out some unnecessary items from the warehouse or sell them or pawn them. Counting the several 10 taels of property donated by Zhu Pengxue, they still couldn't make up for it. The old lady, the eldest master, and the second master each took some, and moved the 5 taels that Zhu Jiayi had handed in before, so as to barely maintain the face of the Duke's Mansion and build a courtyard comparable to a royal garden.

The scenery inside is exquisite and ingenious, one step at a time, there are countless attics, pavilions, rockeries, corridors, and small bridges, but each has its own characteristics, making people linger and forget to return!

Du Ziman often goes there, and when he comes back, he will dance and describe to his sisters how elegant and unique it is, which makes everyone yearn for it.

Zhu Jiayi still puts the excitement aside and cultivates her self-cultivation so that everyone often forgets about her existence. Even during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the New Year's Day, and the Spring Festival, she is in plain clothes and casually visits.

On her father's anniversary, she talked to the old lady and went to a temple recommended by Nanny Jin to pray for her parents.

It's the beginning of spring, when everything is recovering, Zhu Jiayi is also suffocating, and will live here for a month.

The temple is built in the outskirts, surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is very elegant, without the magnificence of a temple with a lot of incense and incense.

"The abbot here is the same brother as the abbot of the Huguo Temple, but the Buddha they believe in is different, and they have always been at odds. The monks of the Huguo Temple have reliance, and they always behave like bosses to everyone, even some wives !" Mother Jin saw that Zhu Jiayi didn't have the slightest look of dislike on her face, and said with a smile: "If Huguo Temple wasn't boasted to be supernatural and has thousands of years of prestige, who would want to go?
Many wives like to come here, and the monks of Huguo Temple often find faults, but the masters here are very skilled, come to fight one by one, come to fight a pair!
The masters in Ping'an Temple never ask for money for sesame oil, they are self-sufficient, we just give some monks' robes and shoes. "

Zhu Jiayi nodded gratefully.

They also listened to Jin Nanny's advice and prepared some monk's robes and shoes.

Sure enough, the monks did not show any dissatisfaction, but thanked them with pure eyes, and helped them settle down properly.

The yard is not big, as simple and clean as the outside of the temple. A sycamore tree rises straight up. The outstretched branches cut the sunlight into mottled patterns. The wooden fish and the sound of chanting are in harmony, lingering solemnity and distance!

Zhu Jiayi felt that she had been washed from the inside to the outside, and she was at peace like never before.

The master in the temple was invited to perform rituals for her father and recite scriptures to pray for blessings. She knelt for half a day every day, and then copied the scriptures for half a day.
