Red Chamber Fellows: You Are Not Guilty

Chapter 246

In a tent in Beijing Camp, Mr. Li Qian was smiling wryly at a man who lost his soul.What is this all about? It is obvious that you have shown disdain for the power and wealth of other people in front of his father-in-law. Why are you acting like this again now?

"Brother, don't take it too seriously. There is no grass anywhere in the world. The niece of the Duke of the country is not good enough. I will ask Mr. Li to find you a suitable one another day. Anyway, you don't care about the dowry, so it should be fine." Look for it." Since Mr. Li Qian came to this tent, he had to persuade him.

But are you sure you are persuading people, not adding salt to people's wounds?Niu Ping'an heard him say that he didn't care about the dowry, and he was in a bad mood.Do you not care about the dowry?It is obvious that he wants to make the Duke of Guo look at him with admiration.

But no matter how good the plan is, it can't be worth it that people have already seen through their own little calculations.It didn't work out with admiration, a good marriage, just let myself toss and disappear.

If Niu Ping'an is not a person who has no success, or he can't just hate the Niu family members, he can also take advantage of Niu Jiye's position in front of Jiazi, and let himself hang up in front of Jiazi early.It's a pity that Jia Amnesty is not Jia Zi, and they don't play hard to get with you.

You don't like my niece's strong backup, okay, I have plenty of candidates.No, the family's niece has already been engaged, and she is still the son of Zhang Dashi, who is much stronger than myself, a fifth-rank general who has no family support.

It was also because Niu Ping'an didn't understand Jia She, he only saw his easy-going side, but he didn't know that this person would not suffer from the emperor.Of all the smart people in the world, except for Jiamu, whom he had to pinch his nose to recognize, who else could make him recognize silently.

Niu Ping'an shook his head again, Mr. Li, what else is Mr. Li, who doesn't know that he is married to Dingguo Gongfu?Although it's separated by one floor, it's also the uncle of the son-in-law, okay?

Besides, when I just returned to Beijing, Lord Li told me about my marriage a few times, but I refused all of them—I had a vague hope in my heart since the Duke asked me whether I was married. Ri Zai's response in front of the Duke was also something he had thought about and thought about.Who knows but self-defeating.

Now Niu Pingan regrets it very much. It is because he has become a habit of playing smart and being too greedy. He is not satisfied, and wants to be better when he is better.I wanted to impress others and give me a lot of support, but who knows that being clever is not the right way.

It's gone, this time it's completely gone.Niu Ping'an knew in his heart that the so-called friendship between him and Mr. Li might be gone after this time.It's all because of my own greed that I made a good thing like this.Niu Pingan reflected deeply.This will be a good thing for him in the future, he is young, he always has the right to make mistakes, and he has time to correct himself.

In Dingguo Duke's Mansion, no one cares whether there are people in the capital who have lost their souls. It is not a small workload to marry two girls one after another.Even if the new year is not over, the mansion is still very busy, that is, they have to prepare the dowry for the two, and in the middle, they also need to prepare the gift of Daiyu and Ji, everyone can't wait to divide it into two.

Daiyu's dowry is easy to say, things are just boxed and organized, or adding or subtracting some new ones is enough.Xing Xiuyan's dowry was somewhat difficult to handle.This means that Xing Dequan's daughter-in-law has also saved some for her daughter over the years.After Xing Dequan started to take care of the rent for two seasons, even if he didn't dare to take it, but the salary he gave was half of the income, and the things he saved went up to several levels.

However, when meeting an in-law like the Zhang family, the little things they saved were not enough to look at at all.What is the book fragrance?In terms of background, people look at your dowry, the number is not important, gold, silver and jewelry are not important, those calligraphy, paintings and antiques are the most important.

Xing Dequan has this?No matter how much he hunted around the world, the things he sold on the market would not catch people's eyes.You know, the Zhang family only had eight brothers in Zhang Tong's generation, and Zhang Tong only had two who were not married.The family backgrounds of the previous sisters-in-law are not comparable to Xing Xiuyan.

Xing Dequan's mouth was full of foam, and he no longer had the joy of hearing that he could marry the Zhang family.Even Mrs. Xing became anxious - most of what she owned was head jewelry, which was not what the Zhang family valued.She doesn't have paintings and calligraphy, but she does have a few antiques, but they are placed in her room, Mrs. Zhang has come and gone several times, have you seen them?

In Daiyu's own place, there are two nuns and the four traditional Chinese medicines that she has already prepared, and Jia Amnesty stuffed them with two medical girls.A class of twelve little girls was taught by Imperial Physician Ji for two years, and the best ones were picked out for Daiyu. Now that Xing Xiuyan has caught up, Jia Amnesty brought two of them here, ready to be sent to others after Mrs. Xing had a look. .

Mrs. Xing has troubles again. There are always four maids to look at as a dowry. Now that there are two, there are two more who have to think about it - you can't choose from Ding Guogong's mansion. It is also connected with each other.Now I buy from Ren Yazi, but I am afraid that the rules will be bad, and the Zhang family will lose face.

Jia Amnesty didn't understand. After so many days, seeing so many things every day, why is she still worried: "You just let go of your happy life every day, but do you think that your face is particularly good-looking when you are sad?"

I know you have bad things to say, but don't be so unkind, okay?Mrs. Xing said angrily: "It's better to find that little military officer back then, just have a little dowry, why is it neither east nor west now."

"It's neither east nor west." Jia She didn't care about it: "Since the eldest brother was able to appoint Tong'er as your niece, he naturally knows what's going on in your brother's family. As long as you follow the family's situation, Just prepare a dowry for that child."

Mrs. Xing only said: "But there are so many sisters-in-law in the family, how can there be no comparison? How can Xiuyan raise her head in front of the sisters-in-law?"

Jia She felt that it didn't matter: "Why bother fighting over that. As long as Tong'er is up to date, her life will naturally be the same. It's not like spending her whole life with those sisters-in-law. I think that child is more calm than you adults."

Exactly that.Ordinarily, her own dowry and Daiyu's were packed together, it is impossible for Xing Xiuyan to fail to see that there is a gap between her own dowry and others.But she took what she gave, and quietly embroidered her wedding dress the rest of the time.

It doesn't matter if her mother shed tears and said sorry to her, or Mrs. Xing looked at her and sighed, she just said: "Mother, aunt, marrying into such a family is something that I never dared to think about. I am no longer satisfied. However, as long as I am filial to my parents-in-law and live in harmony with my sisters-in-law, I don’t believe that everyone can continue to talk about the dowry.” After finishing, I began to embroider flowers.

Because it is rare for Xing Xiuyan to understand, and everyone knows that Madam Xing does not show her face, she still values ​​this niece in her heart and is willing to make face for her: Sun Yuan learned from Jia Lian that Madam Xing has not been out for many years, and it is his father-in-law who wants to guarantee Jia Lian What this son-in-law did.After getting along with Mrs. Xing all these years, Daiyu has already regarded this woman who is confused in small things and transparent in big things as her own mother.Needless to say, Yingchun, she was recorded under Mrs. Xing's name.

So Mrs. Xing didn't have to worry about it for two days. First, Sun Yuan picked out two calligraphy and paintings from his own dowry, and Jia Lian brought four antiques from his mother's dowry, and brought them into the Rongqing Hall together, saying that they were just to add makeup to Xing Xiuyan. .

Mrs. Xing is not willing to accept it, but Sun Yuan can speak: "Second Master said, those four antiques are from my mother's dowry, so the Zhang family naturally knows it. It also means to support sister Xing."

Mrs. Xing nodded her head, and Sun Yuan said again: "Mother, don't take care of your son, but take care of my daughter-in-law too. If the mother accepts the second master's but not the daughter-in-law, it's not like beating the daughter-in-law. face?" Mrs. Xing had no choice but to accept it.

This is considered to be the first of its kind, not only Daiyu welcomes the spring, but even King Pingjun sent several pieces over.He put it more clearly: "My mother is my mother, and my mother's niece is my sister. Where there is a sister who goes out, there is a reason why my brother doesn't add makeup."

As a result, Xing Xiuyan's dowry included all the calligraphy and painting antiques.It's just that Jia Amnesty is a bitch, and he laughed at Mrs. Xing again.It was precisely when Mrs. Xing received the junior's things and was embarrassed in her heart, she became angry and asked Jia Amnesty to go to the East Chamber to rest by herself.

Unexpectedly, the story came out in the middle of the night.

In the past few years, it's fine if Jia She is not at home, but when he is at home, he always stays in Mrs. Xing's room.It's normal for the two of them to sleep under the quilt, but it's normal for an old couple.Habits have become natural, today Jia She is not used to waking up in the east chamber by himself, and could not fall asleep for a long time.

When I was making pancakes, I heard a delicate voice from outside the door: "Master Guo?"

Jia Amnesty was a jerk, asking, "Who is it?"

The voice was even more charming: "My servant Qiuhong. My wife is afraid that the Duke will be deserted, so I ask the servant to serve the Duke."

hehe!Jia Amnesty opened his eyes, he really couldn't stop a self-motivated person at any time.Madam Xing has just been kicked out from my side, it would be strange if she wanted someone to serve her.Why this girl came, I don't know.

After he got dressed, Jia She opened the door and saw a beautiful young lady standing outside the door, not afraid of the cold. In the first lunar month weather, he was only wearing red trousers and light pink upper body The tight-fitting jacket was not buttoned all the way, revealing a big red belly pocket.

It is estimated that in this era, it is considered a relatively bold attire.Jia Amnesty was still thinking about this.But he shouted loudly: "Come on, please ask your wife to come over."

The little beauty's face changed color, she thought that the wife had an awkward relationship with the Duke, and she kicked the Duke out of the main room without regard to decency, the Duke will naturally be angry with his wife.At this time, it is a matter of course for me to comfort the Duke of the country. I am afraid that I will not be rich in the future?

But Jia Amnesty's invitation to his wife shattered her dream into scum—just now she said that the wife asked her to serve the Duke of the country, but the wife was angry, and she found the loophole by herself.Once the wife comes, not to mention the future wealth, even the present dignity will be gone.
