Looking at the banknote in her hand, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but secretly said in surprise: What is that girl Yu'er going to do?Could it be that they want to dissipate the family wealth...won't it be possible to become a monk?

Especially Wang Xifeng thought, Daiyu not only gave Jia Lian 1 taels back then, but also dedicated 100 million taels to the emperor, and now she probably doesn't have much money in her hands!Looking at the decorations on Zhuangzi, and comparing the decorations of the ancestral house of the Lin family in Gusu and the Linfu in the capital, and the Linglong Court where Daiyu lived in the Jiafu, one can also know that Daiyu does not have a lot of money at this time.

After thinking about it, Wang Xifeng became more and more frightened. At this time, Yingchun is about to get married, but she can't be frightened, so Wang Xifeng tried to calm down and said: "Since she gave it to you, you can take it."

After finishing speaking, Wang Xifeng seemed to think of something, and said: "You don't have to tell others anymore, you may not be able to use this money in the future, or buy it into a Zhuangzi or a shop in the future. It is also a stable income." Saying that, Wang Xifeng stuffed the banknote into Yingchun's hand and walked out of the house.

Ever since Wang Xifeng came out of Yingchun's house, she seemed preoccupied, even though she thought she was covering it up very well.Mrs. Xing wanted to ask several times, but she was busy entertaining guests, so she had to hold off for a while.

Although there are no royals and grandchildren in the visitors today, there are quite a few, not to mention Jia Lian's classmates and friends who sent their family members to come to add make-up, even if Jia She was in the Ministry of Rites, most of his colleagues from the Ministry of Industry also came.

Four princes and eight princes also came here, but most of them sent people to bring make-up gifts, and I did not come in person.I also went to Mrs. Jia's yard.When Sun Nanny arrived, Yingchun had just come out from there, and at this time she washed up and followed Mrs. Xing.She naturally knew the reason why Wang Xifeng was in a trance, but she knew that this remark could not be broken.

It wasn't until the evening, after the crowd dispersed, that Wang Xifeng returned to his courtyard, and felt relieved, but thinking of that possibility, he still couldn't suppress his palpitations.

Jia Lian took Jia Cong and accompanied Jia Amnesty to finish the work ahead. When they returned to the yard, they saw Wang Xifeng who was sitting on a soft chair, stroking the teacup and thinking about her thoughts, and suddenly stood up. Otherwise, Jia Lian will be shocked.

At this time, Wang Xifeng didn't care too much. Seeing Jia Lian coming in, she hurriedly sent Ping'er out and asked Ping'er to guard the door.

Seeing this, Jia Lian was surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Feng'er? But what happened?" Wang Xifeng frowned and said, "Isn't something serious going on?" Nanny talked about the money she gave to Yingchun, and mentioned that Nanny Sun had a different expression, and she even shared her deduction with Jia Lian.

Although Jia Lian had stayed in the Lin Mansion for several years, he didn't know much about these industries. All he knew were calligraphy, paintings and ancient books. As for the objects, unless they were sold, they could not be counted as money. .

I also remembered that Lin Ruhai was never greedy for ink when I was in Yangzhou, and I even thought of the girl who lives in Daiyu Zhuangzi now, it is said that she used to lead a hair practice!Jia Lian couldn't help believing in Wang Xifeng's conjecture.

But this guess made Jia Lian not only startled, but also inexplicably panicked.My uncle and aunt treated me with great kindness during their lifetime. If I didn't check for a while, I let them have only flesh and blood——Daiyu always accompanied the ancient Buddha with the blue lamp... Don't say how sad Lin Ruhai and Jia Min would be, it would be Jia Lian I can't forgive myself either!

Thinking of this, a dense layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on Jia Lian's forehead. Seeing this, Wang Xifeng quickly took Jia Lian's hand, and said softly: "Master, since you and I know about this, we will definitely not let my sister act like this. You And don't worry, this matter will definitely not be a matter of day and night, no matter what, my sister will finish her filial piety for my uncle, and now there are at least two years left."

After hearing Wang Xifeng's words, Jia Lian took a deep breath before forcing himself to calm down. Although he wished he could rush to Zhuangzi outside the city immediately, but tomorrow is the day of Yingchun's wedding, and he, the older brother, had to be present.

Fortunately, as Wang Xifeng said, there is no rush for this matter. Jia Lian suppressed his impulse and said to Wang Xifeng: "After Yingchun returns home on the third day, I will go to Zhuangzi to visit my sister, and Feng'er will go with her. Let's go with her." Talk to her carefully. Don't go astray." Wang Xifeng did not object, so she nodded and said: "Since that's the case, we will make arrangements for these few days."

The second day was the day when Yingchun got married, not to mention Jia pardoned his colleagues and Jia Lian's classmates, even the Huang's mansion gave Jia Lian enough face, Mrs. Huang Qiu Shi and Luo Shi also brought Yue Hua and Bi Lian to the door at the same time, Mr. Jia After the wife learned about it, she also received it in person. For a while, the wife and young ladies gathered together, which was very lively.

When the auspicious time came, Yun Baozhou, surrounded by a group of brothers and classmates, rode a tall horse, wearing a red auspicious suit, followed by a red sedan chair, all the way to the gate of Jia's mansion.

Jia Lian took Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Cong, and Jia Rong from the East Mansion to try their best to stop him, but they still allowed Yun Baozhou to pass through five barriers and kill six generals easily, and arrived at the gate of Yingchun Courtyard smoothly.

It has to be said that Jia's mansion is indeed a bit yin and yang, even though Jia Lian has improved under the joint efforts of Lin Ruhai, Huang Jiyun, Daiyu and others, in the end, he is not as good as these boudoir girls in terms of literary talent.

Yun Baozhou clearly felt that these sisters-in-law and sister-in-law were much more difficult to deal with than the men from Jia's mansion who stopped him in the front yard just now.But Yun Baozhou is a well-educated person with a lot of talent and wealth, and his talents and learning are comparable to that of a boudoir girl?

After Mrs. Xing shed tears and sent Yingchun to the sedan chair carried by Yun's family, let alone Tanchun Xichun and Xiuyan, even Xue Baochai couldn't help but lose his mind.Jia Baoyu's image in Xue Baochai's heart collapsed instantly.

But Jia Baoyu was very good-looking, not to mention Yun Baozhou, even Jia Lian couldn't compare with him, but Yun Baozhou's calm demeanor and his eloquent wisdom deeply attracted Xue Baochai's attention. look.

Although Jia's mansion is busy building the Provincial Garden, it is very busy up and down.But Wang Xifeng was still on the side of the East University Courtyard, and organized a three-day running banquet for the colleagues of Jia Amnesty Jia Lian and his son.

When Mrs. Jia asked, Wang Xifeng just smiled and said: "It is the first time in our Jia family to marry a girl after many years, and she is married to a disciple of the emperor, how can it be so simple? Besides, many of these guests are masters and masters." His colleagues and classmates, it is impossible to offend."

In this way, old lady Jia saw that she did not delay the affairs of the mansion, so she didn't say any more.Mrs. Wang suddenly sneered and said, "Your Majesty is not only my daughter, but also a girl from the Jia family. She is also the eldest granddaughter of the old lady. Does the old lady say yes?"

Seeing Mrs. Wang's inexplicable remark, Mrs. Jia felt very displeased in her heart, and when she heard her talk about Yuan Chun in the palace, she frowned even more, but she didn't say anything, she just looked at him coldly. Madam Wang, just wait for her next words.

Unexpectedly, after Madam Wang said this sentence, she stopped talking.For a while, the atmosphere in Mrs. Jia's room also fell into a stalemate.

Wang Xifeng couldn't help taking a breath, came out with a smile to smooth things over and said: "Look at what Auntie said, who can forget that the lady in the palace is the granddaughter of the ancestor? The big garden that is being built on the east side, isn't it?" Was it built just for your mother's consolation?"

Wang Xifeng didn't know that Mrs. Wang had been waiting for these words, so she looked at Wang Xifeng and said with a smile: "Now you are in charge of the mansion, and you know the situation of our mansion, and now all the money has been invested in the garden..." Said Mrs. Wang paused here, looked at Mrs. Jia, and then at Wang Xifeng.

Mrs. Wang sighed and said: "I can't afford any more money now. The old man is working outside, and he doesn't care about the affairs of the house." After speaking, Mrs. Wang looked at Mrs. Jia again and said : "Old lady, see if the big house also collects some money? Anyway, this is not only the dignity of the empress, but also the glory of our family."

When Wang Xifeng heard this, she felt very unhappy, secretly sneered: Humph!What a great idea!Wang Xifeng didn't show her face, she just looked at Mrs. Jia, as if she was waiting for Mrs. Jia to speak.

Mrs. Jia thought for a while and said to Wang Xifeng: "Go and invite your masters and wives here, even if you think about it, you can't decide."

Seeing what old lady Jia said, Wang Xifeng knew in her heart that the old lady agreed, and without delay, she immediately smiled and said: "What the old lady said is, how can I be the master of such a big matter? I Then invite our master and wife to go."

Old lady Jia nodded, and Wang Xifeng backed out.Why didn't Mrs. Jia send someone to invite her?It's very simple, Mrs. Jia knew in her heart that Jia Amnesty was waiting for guests now, so it was inconvenient to call.And Mrs. Xing is also a talker who doesn't work.After dismissing Wang Xifeng, it is convenient to talk to Mrs. Wang.

Wang Xifeng came to Mrs. Xing's courtyard and conveyed what Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Jia had just said, and Mrs. Xing immediately blushed with anger.

Wang Xifeng sighed and said: "Mother don't have to be so angry, I think it's only because of the scenery of us welcoming the girl to get married, that's why I was moved. Since that's the case, let's just say that we have no money, and we will give the little savings to the girl as a dowry gone."

Mrs. Xing was a little uncertain: "Will Yingchun be difficult to do?" Wang Xifeng sneered and said: "In the end, Yingyao is at her husband's house, and she can only rely on herself and us. Could it be that mother is still counting on us?" Can the second wife or the old lady help to welcome the girl?"

Speaking of this, Wang Xifeng sneered even more and said: "Don't forget, Yingyatou is a legitimate daughter recorded in mother's name, so what if mother gave more dowry? Besides, is there a lot of dowry for Yingyatou? Let's But the first-class general’s mansion! It’s not a small family, how can you just let the eldest daughter get married?”

After the previous parting, Jia Shefang took Jia Lian and Brother Cong back to the backyard. Brother Cong was only eleven or twelve years old, and although he was a bit timid, Jia She has been strict with him for the past few years, but he didn't What's wrong with learning, now I study in the morning and learn some common affairs with Jia Lian in the afternoon.

Madam Xing saw that Brother Cong was also following, she nodded and sent him back to the outer courtyard with a few words.

Jia Amnesty looked at Mrs. Xing puzzled, he knew that Mrs. Xing rarely sent Brother Cong out in such a hurry, and she would say a few words.Moreover, it is basically settled now that Brother Cong will be allowed to take care of the general affairs of the mansion in the future, so that Jia Lian can move forward with peace of mind.

Seeing Mrs. Xing like this, let alone Jia Amnesty, even Jia Lian knew that something must have happened.
