The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 191 The Good Sentences Are Compatible
The eldest aunt looked at the two children with satisfaction. This was a match made in heaven. Fortunately, her sister-in-law wanted to marry her niece from her natal family. , there is no advantage.It's not like Miss Lin, who is well-educated and reasonable. Although she has no father, her father is a former Tanhua Lang. The Lin family is a well-known scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River, with respectful children and grandchildren, and a modest daughter.

My father's vision is too high, and he still wants to ask Brother Mi to marry a girl from the Xing family, but the aunt and grandmother are fundamentally opposed.She is Mrs. Xu's natal sister-in-law. When the old concubine of the Xu family was still there, the eldest aunt often visited the Xu family. What kind of family is the Xu family? My sister-in-law, Mrs. Xu, is even more likely to look down on anyone.It must not be an ordinary person who can get the approval of my sister-in-law.

When my aunt went to Xu's family to express her condolences, she saw Lu Shi and her two daughters, and she fell in love with her. When I asked her in private, my sister-in-law praised the Xing family even more, and my aunt was moved to get married. thought.She herself knows the affairs of their family best. It is good to find a brother, but unfortunately the family background is too weak. The father married a step-wife, and her mother's family is also well-known in Jining. In a few years, she had three sons in a row, so this old stepmother held most of the power in the inner house, and fought against her sister-in-law who was a great aunt. There is no downtime.

When she was looking for her brother's parents, it was the old lady who persuaded her father to take back all the gold and silver from the second room, and confiscated the ancestral property.At that time, the old lady gave birth to her youngest son, and it was the time when she was favored. In addition, Brother Mi's father died innocently, and the court also needed to take care of it. Everyone lives in the same place, so there are only more and more contradictions.There were many complaints in the clan about how the family was handled. The father, who was the aunt and grandma, had no choice but to confiscate the property of the biological father under pressure, which finally quelled the disputes in the clan.

Aunt Gan weighed it up and down, and said that her nephew was pretty good-looking, and his character was excellent, and his talent and learning were among the best in Jining Prefecture, but the only thing was that his family was not well-off.Ms. Lin's father was also a inspector of salt and censor after all, and his job was very fat, and he only had one daughter. With the help of the Xing family in the future, his nephew may not have a good future.

The great aunt also really loves this nephew, so she is very active in wanting to achieve this marriage.

She smiled and said to Gan Mi: "Yesterday you got a good match, do you have a second line?"

Gan Mi hurriedly withdrew his thoughts, and replied with a smile: "A good sentence is rare, I think I will visit Mr. Mei with my friends later, and see if he has any wonderful solutions."

Aunt Gan pointed at Lin Daiyu with a smile: "Your sister is famously talented, why don't you ask her to plan for you?"

Gan Mi was overjoyed, folded his palms together and bowed towards Daiyu: "Please give me your advice, Miss Lin."

Daiyu hurriedly waved her hands: "My lord, you're being polite. I'm not very educated, and it's really hard to get into the elegant hall." Xiuyan saw that the girl was shrinking because of her embarrassment, and she didn't care about the occasion. I am even more afraid to mention the word "study". Besides, the sincerity of Mr. Gan's question, you don't know it, if you know it, why not learn from it? The sage Confucius said that there must be me in the trip of three people. Teacher, maybe my sister's sentence is right, but it happens to solve the doubts of Mr. Gan, so I don't know."

Others looked at Lin and Gan with great interest, but Mrs. Duwang twitched her lips in disdain.

What a shameless little hoof.Is this what she can say?Zhenzhen'er and her aunt Mrs. Xing are of the same ancestor, so they blurted out without thinking about it.On such occasions, where even Lu's family didn't speak, Xing Xiuyan, a girl who didn't leave the court, could talk to strange men!

The more Mrs. Wang thinks about it, the more she feels that she should smoke Xing Xiu, and this Lu family is also, her biological daughter is not in a hurry to get married, but treats a wild girl as a treasure.

Mrs. Wang was slandering, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Xing Xiuyan's big sparkling eyes, she was startled.Mrs. Wang secretly called herself confused, how did she figure it out?It turns out that Mrs. Lu has always had bad intentions. Their family clearly knew that the old lady wanted to marry Lin Daiyu to their own Baoyu, but now they are doing well. Mrs. Lu urged the family to propose marriage to the old lady. The girl married Baoyu, so she could curry favor with the big tree of Rongguo Mansion!
The more Mrs. Wang thinks about it, the angrier she becomes. She really thinks of herself as a great person. If Xiuyan knew what Wang was thinking at this time, she would have to laugh bitterly.

Let's talk about Gan Mi nodding his head after hearing Xing Xiuyan's words. The boy was afraid that Daiyu would refuse, so he hurriedly said: "The upper couplet I got is: Light the lamps in the tower, and the corners of the Kongming are illuminated."

This combination of emotion and scenery, and contains the homonym of Mr. Wolong's name, is indeed worth a pair.

Daiyu immediately fell into deep thought. Afraid of being cold-hearted, the aunt-in-law hurriedly greeted the ladies for a drink, but she looked at her nephew reproachfully: "You idiot, she just said that, and she took it seriously, according to the aunt-in-law's intentions." , Ganmi should change to a simple pair before opening the mouth, now it's good.
The eldest aunt greeted everyone and secretly said a few words "Amitabha", but please don't make Miss Lin unable to come down from the stage, because my silly boy has lost her beautiful lady!

Xiuyan pushed Daiyu lightly, and asked in a low voice, "Did you have a good sentence?"

Daiyu frowned tightly and did not answer.Gan Mi, who had already sat down opposite Daiyu, looked at this helplessly, with a look of remorse appearing on his face.

Xiuyan enjoyed watching, hey, this kid really knows how to love others!I just don't know if he feels pity for everyone, or just for Daiyu?
Not long after, Daiyu turned her head sideways, her slender and white hands half covered the mouth of the sandalwood, and asked Zijuan behind her for a pen and paper.Zicuckoo hurriedly went outside to pick it up, and the servant of Ganmi had already handed it to Zicuckoo outside.Without thinking about it, Daiyu picked up a pen and wrote the next couplet on Jingxian paper.

It's exactly: lotus roots are planted in the pond, and Taibai plums grow roots every year.

Daiyu smiled at Qianmi: "Young master's upper couplet is really difficult to agree with, I just reluctantly agree with one, I hope you will not laugh at me."

Xiuyan is determined, the more modest Daiyu is, the more confident she is.She didn't see it clearly, but it was very exciting to think about it.

Sure enough, Gan Mi couldn't wait to take over the pair, carefully read the few numbers from the beginning to the end, and couldn't help applauding: "The match is neat and even, I can't think of a better pair than Miss Lin. Sentence!"

"Gen" is a homonym of "Geng", but the name of Li Taibai is contained in Daiyu's couplet.

When Gan Mi looked at Daiyu's eyes again, he was a little more probing.
The guests at this banquet had a great time, of course, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang's sister-in-law may not be among the guests.The two walked out of the gate of Gan's house angrily, and broke up with Lu Shi at the door. Seeing the chariots and horses galloping away in the Rongguo Mansion, Lu smiled and took the two daughters back home.

Xing Zhong didn't go out to socialize today, he just waited for news at home, the three of their mothers just came in, Xing Zhong greeted them and asked non-stop.Lu Shi sent Daiyu and Xiuyan back to rest, while she glared at her husband angrily, "Don't ask me to drink some tea to catch my breath, as if I'm busy."

Xing Zhong hurriedly poured tea with an apologetic smile, and Lu knew that her husband was worried that he would fail Lin Ruhai's entrustment, so he told what he had seen today, Xing Zhong nodded: "That's good, we prepared a lot of dowry for Lin Ruhai , No amount of money will be spent in the future, as long as this young man respects and loves himself, we can make up for it, and it’s nothing."

Lu Shi also meant the same thing, she said with a smile: "And I heard what Aunt Gan said, because the Gan family has too many people, they wish to let Gan Mi separate out and live alone. I thought, why don't you add an extra one to Miss Lin's dowry list?" The house is located near Fengwei Hutong, so it will be convenient for our wives to meet in the future."

Xing Zhong also thought it was a good idea, but "A house near here? I'm afraid it's hard to find?"

Lu said with a smile: "What's so hard to find? Your daughter has already thought about it. A very large and excellent courtyard will be vacant in our alley soon, which is suitable for Lin girl."

Xing Zhong looked at his wife puzzled, and Lu still wanted to pretend to be mysterious, but it didn't take long for Xing Zhong to realize, he looked at Lu in disbelief: "It can't be what you said, it can't be the opposite door Ouyang's family Bar?"

Lu sneered: "Why not her family? Ouyang has done a lot of wicked things to us!"

"Ouyang's family should be cleaned up, but how do we do it? I see that the emperor is still protecting Ouyang's family!" Xing Zhong murmured worryingly. As the head of the family, Xing Zhong wanted to give Ouyang's family a good look, but it's a pity I am not strong enough now, and I still have no way to bring down the opponent.After all, my family had two disadvantages: first, the emperor was always afraid of Zhengde's adoptive parents and alienated his biological father; second, the emperor never forgot about the young lady of Ouyang's family, and it was difficult to have more love.

If the Xing family wants to succeed, they can't think of the extravagant hope of killing them with one blow. To eliminate the Ouyang family, a prominent family in Yangzhou, they must do it slowly, so that the emperor will dislike each other little by little.

Xing Zhong's idea agrees with that of his daughter, but Xiuyan doesn't know that her father also has plans to attack Ouyang's family, she is closing the door and asking Meilian to speak.

"So, not only does Mr. Gan not have a servant girl, but he has always been served by servants?"

Meilian replied seriously: "Indeed. I entered the small courtyard of Mr. Gan on the pretext of getting lost. The young man who looked at the courtyard was a warm-hearted man. I took the opportunity to ask a few words. The young man respected Mr. Gan very much, and Be loyal."

Xiuyan pondered for a while: "Sometimes being loyal is a good thing, and sometimes it's a bad thing. This Ganmi is not a sour scholar. Although he is a little shy in love, he can get along with Sister Lin in terms of preferences." No matter how many wealthy families in this world, the clan wives are not liked by their husbands. It’s okay when they are young and attractive, but once they are old and yellow, they will be left alone.”

Mei Lian said angrily: "So, you have to look carefully at this married person. Isn't that the case with Mr. Yuan's next door? Mrs. Yuan looks good-looking, but everyone in the alley knows that Mr. Yuan's house is small. Concubine, I have long lost my love for Mrs. Yuan, and I heard that I took in a 17-year-old girl a few years ago, what a crime!"

Xiuyan sneered: "Master Yuan also relied on Mrs. Yuan's natal family back then, but unfortunately, once Mrs. Yuan's natal brothers disappeared and the family business declined, this Mr. Yuan showed his true colors and dared to do anything. Now the whole family is afraid that Gan Mi is also a duplicity master, and that will hurt Daiyu."

Meilian didn't dare to speak, and after a long pause, she tentatively said: "It would be great if Master Xiao Song was here, he would give the girl some advice, or help the girl to test out the son-in-law, why should the girl have such troubles?" what?"

Xiuyan's tone was slightly sour: "Master Xiao Song is probably working hand in hand with the heroines to fight the enemy and defend the country. How can I care about these things! Besides, I'm such a small person, why should he bother?"

Meilian opened her mouth, looking hesitant to speak.

Xiuyan sensed something was wrong, "Did you hide something from me?"

Meilian shivered, and hurriedly approached Xiuyan with an apologetic smile: "Young lady is amazing, I can guess that. Actually, when I was in the Qianfu today, I saw someone, yes, it was Master Xiao Song. "

Xiuyan was shocked, and then felt that the girl was talking nonsense: "I don't listen to your nonsense, I'll go to rest."

Seeing the girl turned to leave, Meilian hastily held her back: "Miss, I'm not lying, it's indeed Mr. Xiao Song himself. You don't know, I was so surprised when I saw him come out of Mr. Qian's study, the gatekeeper The boy said that he is a friend of the godfather, and he is waiting for the godfather in the study." Meilian looked at Xiuyan cautiously: "But girl, I always feel that Mr. Song is waiting for you because he asked me to take the message. For the girl, I want to ask the girl to meet at Deyuelou at noon tomorrow."

Xiuyan's heart is like inviting thousands of ants to move together, densely packed, disturbing people's nerves.

The war in the southeast is not peaceful, Song Chen is an imperial envoy, and he must not return to Beijing easily without the emperor's edict. Is he doing it for public or private?Moreover, why did Song Chen find himself?

That night, Xiuyan didn't sleep well at all, and when she woke up the next day, Meilian didn't dare to breathe, and after washing and dressing the girl, the girl said she had found that fire fox cloak, and Meilian became happy.

This is the posture of the girl to go out, otherwise she wouldn't be able to wear such nice clothes.

It's a pity that Meilian was happy too early, when it was past noon, Xiuyan had no intention of going out at all.Meilian was discouraged, and looked at the little maids drawing lines in the room with disinterest.

A moment later, Mei Lian was bored to add water to the birds, Mio suddenly walked in hurriedly: "Quickly ask the people outside to prepare the carriage, the girl is going out."

Meilian was startled: "Where are you going?"

Mio poked her forehead angrily: "Idiot, yesterday you told the girl who was waiting for her? Of course she went to Deyue Tower."

Meilian was overjoyed at first, but then had a bitter face: "Master Xiao Song clearly said that it's noon, and it's late now, so it's no wonder people wait when the girl goes!"

Mio snorted with a small nose: "This is how you can tell if you are sincere or not. If he left early, the girl wouldn't have to entangle with this kind of person!"
