The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 255 Daiyu: I am also in vain.He doesn’t care either!

There was a girl in Master Qin's family who was a doctor in the Ministry of Industry and Renovation Department. I heard that she was very graceful and charming. She was originally engaged to Jia Rong, but after Jia Rong died, the engagement was canceled. Of course, there was also that chaste and fierce girl. It’s a different matter for those who keep watch over the poor.

Jia Cong never took this matter to heart, and Daiyu didn't even think about it at all.

"Congratulations to Sister-in-law Zhou. I also heard that the girl from the Qin family is a good person. If this marriage can happen, it will be a happy event for my family. I don't know how I can help with this matter. busy?

Sister-in-law Zhou doesn’t know that I have never been a matchmaker in my life. I can’t handle such a thing! "Daiyu smiled and said it beforehand, which also dispelled Zhou's desire to use the power of Ningguo Mansion to force marriage.

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she smiled and said, "How can I work with my brothers and sisters? I have already sent a matchmaker to the Qin family, and the agreement has been reached. However, the Qin family is a family of officials, and they are very particular. The previous marriage is not over yet, so it’s hard to agree to our marriage. We have to give them a marriage certificate in order to marry the woman to another person."

Daiyu said "Hey", this is indeed a very particular family.

Youshi was afraid that Daiyu was young and lost her mother when she was young, so no one would teach her these rules. She said from the sidelines, "Many families are like this. Once they have made a marriage agreement, they have not married, and they are now members of the husband's family. The Qin family has an old relationship with the Ningguo Mansion, and even though Rong'er is no longer here, it's good that they have this intention."

When Daiyu heard this, she thought that it was impossible for You to have any contact with the girl from the Qin family. She felt sorry for the girl, so she said, "Seeing that the old lady's birthday is coming soon, although the old lady may not come back to the house, I still want to have some fun at home." Yes, why not take this opportunity to invite the Qin family girl to meet you?"

This was also Daiyu's intention. She was originally worried that the Zhou family would bully others and use a marriage certificate from Ningguo Mansion to terminate the engagement. That's why she had such thoughts and asked about You family.

"I have met the Qin family girl a few times. She is a very good person. As I said, we haven't seen each other for many years. The old lady's birthday is a good day, and I will ask someone to give her the next post. Let's see Are you coming or not?”

Youshi is also a smart person, obedient and heard the meaning of Daiyu's words, and said with a smile.

If you post a message to someone, if Mr. Qin is really in trouble, he will definitely come.

"Then I'll bother you, sister-in-law. I have no contact with the Qin family girl at all. It would be too inappropriate to post this rashly," Daiyu said.

"What a big deal this is!" Youshi laughed.

Mrs. Zhou thought that Daiyu was concerned about her son's marriage, so she was so happy that she couldn't help but thank her one after another, as if the marriage was already secured.

Daiyu turned to ask Mr. Lou, "I heard Uncle Ping say earlier that among the children of our Jia family, Lan Ge'er and Jun Ge'er are the best at reading books. In this month, The two of them are on the list of rewards.

According to the rules of the academy, at the end of the year, if one can be ranked among the top three in the academy, each person will be rewarded with two taels of silver. Money is a small thing, but advancement is a big thing.This is all the result of Sister-in-law Lou. "

Mrs. Lou was filled with joy when she heard this. She also thought about being a widow and her son was an orphan, which made her a little sad. "What did you say, madam? Not all mothers in the world are like this. This is what I, a mother, should do." Things to do.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Zhong did a great job back then. She educated a person like the Marquis. Where am I now? "

There was a bit of sadness on Daiyu's face, and she sighed softly, "It's beyond our reach to be like my mother-in-law. However, if Brother Jun is so upbeat, he will always earn a life for Sister-in-law Lou in the future." What’s the day!”

Mr. Lou started to look forward to it and felt very happy in his heart. He wiped his tears and said with a smile, "I've been looking forward to such a day. Now that I'm studying in the academy, even though I won't see him until ten days, I feel hopeful in my heart."

In the Jia Family School, it used to be said that I was studying every day. Compared with now, it is really incomparable. When I think about it, I always feel a bit regretful about how much time was wasted.

After a few words of greetings, Daiyu served the tea. Lou and others hurriedly stood up to say goodbye. Zhou still had some unfinished thoughts and wanted to ask about the arrangements for the old man's birthday. You smiled and said, "We haven't discussed it yet. It's all a matter of course." We can follow the old routine, the day is coming, just follow the arrangements, how can you think so much?"

"The day is coming soon. I'll come back another day!" Mrs. Zhou was thinking about meeting her future daughter-in-law and couldn't wait.

After coming out of Ningguo Mansion, Zhou did not go with the Lou family and went to Rongguo Mansion. She was full of interest. At first glance, she knew that she was going to see Mrs. Wang to chat about this matter. After all, it was Mrs. Wang who paid for her. idea.

Lou shook her head and left in the car with her fifth sister-in-law. In the car, the two of them could not help but say something about Zhou. They both made up their minds and tried not to get along with Zhou in the future.

Mrs. Zhou went to the three small main rooms in the east corridor of Rongguo Mansion and sat down on one of the three chairs lined up next to the Kang. The maid served tea while Mrs. Zhou waited and asked Caiyun casually, "Second Aunt. Wherever you go, if you go to the old lady, I might as well go over and say hello to the old lady."

Just as she was talking, the maid at the door opened the curtain, and Jinchuaner came forward to greet her, "Madam is here."

Mrs. Wang just came from Yuanchun's house. She was anxious and walked very fast. She was sweating profusely. When she saw Mrs. Zhou who stood up to greet her, she felt a little disgusted, but she was always a person who kept her expression secret. The man smiled and said, "You're here!"

"Second Aunt, is this from the old lady? Why are you in such a hurry? Look how tired Second Aunt is!" As she said that, Mrs. Zhou was about to wipe Mrs. Wang's face with a handkerchief, but Mrs. Wang raised her hand to stop her uncomfortably. After a moment, he felt that this reaction was a bit abrupt, so he smiled and said, "I dare to trouble you, what do they do?"

Jin Chuan'er had already brought the wet handkerchief over. Mrs. Wang cleaned her face, added some makeup again, and asked, "Where are you from?"

"I came from Ningguo Mansion and went to Lin's sister-in-law to tell me about Qin'er's marriage. They said that it was the old man's birthday and there was going to be a banquet in the mansion. When the time came, I would send a message to the Qin family. The girl invites us to see each other. According to my opinion, it will be time to explain this matter clearly.

Auntie, tell me, why is it necessary for the dead to guard this place?How can anyone in the Qin family be so stupid?It's just that he's afraid of the power over there.Brother and sister Lin said it herself, there is nothing wrong with this matter. "

Mrs. Wang listened patiently, her eyes narrowed slightly, her lips smiled, and she kept twisting the rosary beads in her hands. No one knew what she was thinking.

After Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, Mrs. Wang said, "Since she is willing to take the initiative for you, this matter is more than half done. You can go over there two more times to hurry up and get this matter done." Well, if we can get married before the new year, the family will be more lively with one more person during the Chinese New Year."

After saying this, Mrs. Zhou became even more excited and said with a smile, "What Auntie said makes sense. If we got married years ago, there are still a lot of things to do right now. The house needs to be repaired first, and it needs to be painted inside and outside... …”

Mrs. Wang was really impatient that she kept talking, so she interrupted and said, "Caiyun, give 20 taels of silver to Qier's mother. I am giving the gift in advance!"

Mrs. Zhou couldn't help being happy. She held the money in both hands and left with a lot of gratitude.

Only then did Mrs. Wang have the energy to pick up the tea and take a sip. She was very upset. Unexpectedly, Yuanyang came and said that she wanted to invite the second wife to discuss things.

Mrs. Wang stood up with a smile and asked, "Old lady, what else do you have to discuss?"

Yuanyang heard that this was inappropriate and said, "The third grandmother of Dongfu Cong came over and said that the second girl's marriage needs to be discussed. The old lady asked the madam to come over."

Mrs. Wang wanted to excuse her illness, but she just wanted to think about what was wrong. She asked in surprise, "Why is it so soon? Is the wedding date about to be decided?" Yuanyang said, "Not yet. It's what Mr. Cong wants. The second uncle wants to Go to Liaodong and get married early, no one is waiting there!"

Mrs. Wang wanted to say that Yuanchun's marriage has not been settled yet. Why is Yingchun doing it in such a hurry?
In the Rongqing Hall, the old lady's complexion looked good, but much worse than before. Xifeng and Li Wan were accompanying her, while Xichun and Baoyu were sitting on the other side, laughing at something they said.

Even Li Wan had a smile on his face. Seeing this scene, Mrs. Wang felt very unhappy. She glanced at Li Wan from the corner of her eye, and Li Wan hurriedly put away her smile.

"I heard from afar that the old lady was very busy here. I don't know what she said to make her so happy?" Mrs. Wang said.

Daiyu stood up with a smile and went over to greet him, "I was just saying that the old man's birthday is coming. Why did I wish him a birthday? I just said that the marquis is not at home this year, and the old man doesn't know whether he will come back? The garden behind is almost the same. Now, I want to ask the old lady to come over and have a look.

When that day comes, please ask your wife for a favor. "

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "On that day, we will go shopping together. I just heard Qin'er's mother say that she wants to get married to the Qin family, the maintenance man of the Ministry of Industry. You also plan to invite the Qin family girl to see you, but Is this happening?"

Dai Yuxin said, you already know about this, but you still ask about it because you are afraid that she will deny it!
Jia's mother was already elderly and liked hearing such things very much. She quickly asked, "How come I haven't heard of this girl from the Qin family?"

Daiyu smiled and said, "The old lady must have heard about it. She was originally engaged to be married to Brother Rong. Qin'er's mother didn't know about it at all. It was my wife who was the matchmaker. If the matter is settled in the future, it would be good for my wife." I’m looking for a pair of matchmaking shoes, but I wonder if the Qin girl’s needlework is good?”

It was a joke, but no one dared to laugh. Only Jia Mu laughed, pointed at Daiyu and cursed, "You actually made fun of your wife!"

Mrs. Wang was naturally very uncomfortable. Now Daiyu dared to treat her like this. She said with a straight face, "Now that Brother Rong is gone, how can a family like ours force a good girl to stay with her for the rest of her life? Here we are. On that day, I will also go and have a look.”

Daiyu saw Baoyu's ears pricked up and said, "I heard from my sister-in-law that she is a person who is in heaven and on earth. When Sister-in-law Zhou met her, she tried every means to marry Qin'er home. I also want to know. What kind of angel is he that outshines all the girls in our family?"

Baoyu's eyes lit up, and Daiyu couldn't help but think of what Jia Cong said, "Baoyu has always been good at collecting beauties." The word "collect" really conveyed the essence of it.

Just as Baochai and Aunt Xue arrived, Daiyu saw it and added with a smile, "It's just that our girls are inferior to each other, but I don't know if they are inferior to Sister Bao as well?"

"What are you talking about again? What do you mean you're comparing me to someone else?"

Baochai came over, smiled and wanted to pinch Daiyu's face, play with Daiyu, and make some affectionate gestures. Daiyu stayed away calmly, not wanting to cause misunderstanding, and said, "I'm talking about work." The young lady from Mr. Qin’s family, who is a doctor in the Ministry of Interior and Restoration, said that there is something in heaven and nothing on earth, and I feel a little dissatisfied with anyone who can compare with it.”

"Why are you so angry? Are you afraid that Brother Cong will see what happened to Miss Qin's family? Otherwise, let's take a look at that day. If it's good, you can help Brother Cong keep it in the room, and you can do it every day. Look, you can watch as many things as you want in one day?"

Xifeng originally said it as a joke, but after Daiyu heard it, she clapped her hands and said, "Second sister-in-law Lian is so considerate that she said this to my heart. I originally had such thoughts, but it was difficult to express them. !”

When Baoyu heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but have a thought in his mind, could it be that all the good ones have to be given to Jia Cong?
He looked at Daiyu in front of him in a daze, and his mind revolved around the scenes when the two were in Rongqing Hall. Her intelligence, sagacity, infatuation and arrogance eventually became someone else's, and she finally lived the way someone else wanted. .

Now, is she going to be an accomplice to harm another fairy-like girl?
This makes him feel so embarrassed!
Mrs. Wang knew that Daiyu was doing this just to make her angry, so she couldn't hold it in her face anymore and said sarcastically, "You are a bit more virtuous. It's okay if there are other girls. This girl from this family is the one that your sister-in-law has taken a liking to." , if you have made such an idea, it will ruin the friendship among the clan members, so why bother!"

Daiyu said, "Madam, you have taught me a lesson. Just now, Second Sister-in-law Lian was joking, and I was just talking naughty words to Second Sister-in-law Lian. The Marquis is not at home right now, and I don't know when he will come back. Even if I try, it will be in vain. He Not surprising either!"

Baochai took the words and said with a meaningful smile, "Who said he doesn't appreciate it? How could he not appreciate your ability like this?"

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, wanting to say something sarcastic, but since Baochai was a girl who had not yet left the court, she couldn't be too mean, so she had to let her joke and say nothing herself.

Mother Jia just had something to say, "Now that your second wife is here, tell me about your second sister. My aunt is here to help with advice."

Aunt Xue asked, "If it's a big deal, I won't be able to advise you!"

Jia Mu knew that Aunt Xue was joking and said with a smile, "These are all family affairs. I, an old woman, can't care about those important affairs of the country and the court."

The words made everyone laugh. Wang Xifeng laughed the loudest and burst into tears. He supported the old lady and said, "Brother Cong should listen to these words. From now on, for military and national affairs in the court, we should ask Brother Cong first." Madam knows, it’s nice to hear what the old lady has to say!”

"You're a tough guy, come and make fun of me too!"

"How dare I! People say I can tell jokes on weekdays, but I found out today that it's because the old lady is too lazy to tell jokes!"

Baochai said from the side, "You are self-aware in what you say. No matter how clever you are, the old lady can't be more clever!"

After hearing this, Daiyu glanced at Xifeng, her eyes full of teasing. Xifeng pursed her lips slightly and raised her eyebrows, completely taking Baochai's words seriously.

Jia Mu said, "I'm old now, what a coincidence. Back then, I was as old as Brother Feng, but I was better than him. Although he is not as good as us now, it's still good, and he is far better than your aunt. You My aunt is pitiful, she doesn't talk much, she's like a piece of wood, and she doesn't show off much in front of her parents-in-law. Feng'er has a sweet mouth, how can he complain so much that people love him."

Baochai lowered his head, feeling quite uncomfortable.

Daiyu pinched the handkerchief and smiled. Baoyu saw that Baochai was really embarrassed and that no one wanted to help her out, so she had no choice but to say to herself, "If you say this, it won't hurt if you don't talk much?"

Mother Jia said: "Those who don't talk much have their own troubles, and those who are good-mouthed also have their troubles. It's better to be silent."

Daiyu smiled and pointed at Xifeng's mouth, "Did you hear that? You are not the most disgusting person in this sect!"

Xifeng laughed and slapped her hand, "Are you here specifically to piss me off today, or are you here to talk about my second sister's marriage? Just tell me, I'm busy, I'll be leaving in a while."

Daiyu just cleared her throat and said, "Old lady, brother Cong has sent a letter, saying that he wants to arrange the wedding of the second sister as soon as possible. The husband will ask for an appointment soon. I was thinking, if this is the case, I will choose A recent day."

"If you put it this way, doesn't it mean that it's too late to even tell the lord?" Mrs. Wang said.
