The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 142 Determining the Wedding Date
Grandma Liu stayed for a cup of tea, then refused to persuade her to stay, and took her back to the palace.After she left, the wives from various families became even more enthusiastic towards Daiyu, so Daiyu had no choice but to cheer up and greet them.

Concubine Nan'an at the head didn't care about them, chatting with Concubine Zhang, "Have you ever asked Qin Tianjian to choose a date?"

"The nearest good day will be the third day of April. I came today, and I want you, a matchmaker, to discuss with Daiyu's father."

Concubine Nan'an replied with a smile, "This is what it should be. As a matchmaker, I have to have a beginning and an end."

Jia's mother followed suit, "Very well, now who doesn't know, you are a good matchmaker."

After hearing this, Concubine Zhang couldn't help being curious, "Who else have you been a matchmaker for?"

"She was talking about her grandniece, a girl from the Shi family. Her aunt came to visit our house earlier and asked me to make a marriage proposal for the girl from the Shi family. After thinking about it, I finally thought of the kid from the Wei family. It's considered complete, and the two families are quite satisfied." Speaking of this matter, Concubine Nan'an was quite complacent.

Seeing that Daiyu and the others were free, Mother Jia quickly beckoned the three of them to come over.When they approached, Jia Mu first pointed to Xiangyun and said, "That's what I just said, my grandniece of the Shi family. Xiangyun and Tanchun, I will meet the two concubines soon."

The two hurriedly blessed each other, Concubine Zhang looked at them with a smile, each of them gave a phoenix hairpin, and praised, "They are all good girls."

Concubine Nan'an also gave them a pair of jade bracelets, and then joked with Xiangyun, "Why didn't you come to say hello when you saw me today?"

Xiangyun replied, "Isn't this the first time for me to be a Yousi?

Concubine Nan'an smiled and shook her head, "You ghost girl." Looking at Tanchun again, she sighed, "I don't know why the girls of your Jia family look so handsome. By the way, there is a second daughter Girl, she didn't come today?"

Mother Jia was startled, and then flaunted, "She has been married for a year and a half, and she married a side branch of the Liu family. But that kid is handsome and promising. He used to work under Shizi Mu, but now he is a Thousands of households are being punished."

Concubine Nan'an was a little surprised when she heard that, they are nobles, naturally they will not dislike the embroidered guards, and it is not low to punish thousands of households, and they have a lot of power in their hands.She was really envious of Jia Mu, who had so many granddaughters that could be used to marry the family.She had seen Yingchun before, and at the time she felt that the girl was a bit dull, and she was lucky if she didn't want to, so she complimented her sincerely.

After a banquet at Lin's house at noon, the guests left one after another.Lin Ruhai sent the guests away, and invited Concubine Zhang, Concubine Nan'an, and Mother Jia to the side hall of the main hall to discuss Daiyu's wedding date.Although he felt that it would be too tight to set it on the third day of April, Daiyu's dowry had already been prepared, so he finally nodded in agreement.

Before Concubine Zhang left, she told about the fact that the palace gave Mu Xu a concubine the day before yesterday, Lin Ruhai agreed.As a traditional scholar-bureaucrat, he felt that this was nothing, as if he himself had two concubines.

After all the visitors had left, Lin Ruhai turned to the back house to see Daiyu. As soon as he entered her yard, he heard Xueyan and Qingwen arguing about which gift was the best.Daiyu was sitting in front of the dressing table, and Zijuan was standing behind her, removing her make-up while looking at Daiyu in the mirror, thinking of her appearance when she first entered Jia's mansion, she couldn't help sighing, "Girl, you are getting more and more beautiful .”

Daiyu smiled slightly, "Why even you have learned to coax people." Zijuan was about to defend herself when she heard this, but when she saw the master coming in from the mirror, she hurriedly turned around and saluted, "The master is here."

Xueyan and Qingwen, who were playing with each other, also hurriedly stood up and saluted.Lin Ruhai said gently, "Don't be too polite." He walked up to his daughter and motioned her not to get up, "My father just discussed with Concubine Dongping, and your wedding date is set on the third day of April."

Daiyu lowered her head in embarrassment, and replied softly, "Father is the one who decides."

"I have to tell you so that you can be prepared." Lin Ruhai thought of what Concubine Zhang said before leaving, and thought it was better to inform Daiyu in advance so that the young couple would not be angry in the future, so he coughed lightly, "Dongping When the concubine left, she told my father one thing. Nephew Mu Xian was given a concubine in the palace the day before yesterday, and you know that person, she is a girl from the Xue family."

Daiyu paused slightly with the hand holding the comb, and remained silent for a while.Lin Ruhai had no choice but to persuade, "You also want to open some. For people like them, these things are inevitable. Nephew Mu Xian has already figured it out."

Daiyu shook her head, "Father was too worried, but my daughter was just a little surprised at the concubine's choice, and didn't think too much about it. Could it be that in my father's eyes, I am so intolerable?"

"I made a slip of the tongue for my father. Of course Yu'er is not that kind of person." After a closer look at Daiyu's face without anger, Lin Ruhai let go of her heart, told her to rest well, and then got up and left.

After Lin Ruhai left, Zijuan looked at the silent Daiyu, and asked cautiously, "Girl, are you alright?"

Daiyu knew what she was worried about, and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Qingwen, who was on the side, was a little annoyed, "Why is Miss Bao always haunting her? When she was in the Rongguo Mansion, she liked to avoid her, and now she is like this again."

Xueyan also echoed, "That's right, girl, you are married, you can't give her a good face, and let her set the rules."

"You guys, tell me who I am. In fact, Baochai is not easy. I don't have any objections to her. At that time in the Rongguo Mansion, the reason why she was like that was to show the second aunt. I can't help myself." Daiyu said something fair for Baochai.

Hearing Daiyu talk about Mrs. Wang, Qingwen couldn't help but burst out laughing, "If the Second Wife knows that Second Grandma Bao, whom she is optimistic about, is also going to marry the Eldest Son, what expression will she have?"

Zijuan and Xueyan thought about it, and then laughed too.Daiyu smiled and said angrily, "You, why are you still so cramped?"

"Well, girl, have you forgotten what the second wife is like?" Qingwen continued to complain, "I think the second wife is not good. She guards against this and that all day long, as if everyone wants to seduce Baoyu. Now Well, Miss Bao and Miss Yun are settled, let's see what kind of wife she can marry Baoyu."

Seeing that her words became less and less like her, Zijuan persuaded, "You don't have to say a few words, you don't need to worry about Baoyu's affairs."

Qingwen sneered, "Of course I know, there is a virtuous person in Jiabao's second master's room!"

"You are still angry, so there is no need for it. She has been driven home long ago."

"What, is this really the case?" Qingwen was shocked.

Zijuan didn't want to talk about it at first, but when she saw that even Daiyu was looking at her, she had no choice but to explain, "I only found out about this when I received a letter from Yuanyang a few months ago."

When Qingwen heard that Xiren was unlucky, she immediately asked excitedly, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"That's a long story, and we have to start with Miss Yun's engagement."

"Miss Yun, what does it have to do with Miss Yun?"

Zijuan rolled her eyes helplessly, Qingwen, who was like a curious baby, said, "If you interrupt again, I won't talk about it."

Qingwen hurriedly begged her for mercy, and Zijuan told the whole story.After listening to her, both Qingwen and Xueyan felt that Xiren deserved it, but Daiyu looked calm.Zijuan was a little strange, and couldn't help asking curiously, "Girl, aren't you surprised at all?"

Daiyu turned around from the mirror and said to the three of them, "What's so surprising about this, even if Xiren isn't kicked out this time, she won't be in the same boat when Second Brother Bao's wife comes in."

After hearing her words, Zijuan was a little thoughtful, but Qingwen and Xueyan looked confused.Daiyu had no choice but to tell them in detail, "Think about it, when you were in Rongguo Mansion, what kind of attitude was attacking people?"

Qingwen blurted out, "Pretend to be virtuous, she seems to be the only one who is sensible."

Daiyu smiled without saying a word, then looked at Zijuan, beckoning her to speak.Zijuan thought for a long time before she said uncertainly, "Xi Ren seems to be carrying it all the time, not quite like a girl, but more like Baoyu's aunt."

Daiyu agreed, "It's not just my aunt, she sometimes acts like the wife of the second brother Bao. Think about it, but the serious wife of the second brother Fan Bao came in. Seeing her like this, can she be tolerated?" ?”

The three of them suddenly realized, and Qingwen said happily, "I said she was a hidden traitor, and no one believed her in the past, so let's slap her in the face this time."

"Okay, don't gloat." Daiyu told her to stop, and then told Zijuan, "You will send someone to Xue's house to post a post later, asking Miss Bao to come to our house as a guest tomorrow."
