The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 146 Please add makeup
After leaving the palace, Mu Xu and Feng Ziying rode side by side on horseback, and Feng Ziying talked about Ma Daopo.

"As soon as the thieves woman entered the imperial prison, she was punished for everything before she was sentenced. She doesn't know any magic tricks, but she uses some scented drugs to make people hallucinate, so as to fool people."

Ever since he knew that the monk and the Taoist were fake, Mu Xu also guessed that the Taoist Ma was a liar.Just like in the original book, she cursed Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu. Now that I think about it, it was nothing more than using hallucinogenic incense, or tampering with the paper figurine.

"Well, interrogate her clearly and deal with it directly, instead of handing it over to the Kyoto government."

Feng Ziying understood Mu Xu's meaning, nodded and replied, "Your Excellency is right, that old woman has walked around the back houses of many big families, and knows a lot of things like those wives who are jealous and murdered concubines. It’s really not good to end when things are shaken out.”

"It's good that you understand. The most important thing right now is to find the Maitreya demon, and you can let go of other things."

Hearing Mu Xu's reminder, Feng Ziying promised, "I'll give orders when I get back, and do my best to investigate this matter. By the way, write a letter to Li He, so that he can also move in Jiangnan."

"Remind Li He to pay more attention to the movements of the Zhen family, especially the son of the Zhen family, Zhen Baoyu." Mu Xu was quite concerned about the guy who was said to look the same as Jia Baoyu.Since the monks and Taoists cared so much about Jia Baoyu, there was no reason why they would not pay attention to Zhen Baoyu.

"Zhen Baoyu?" Feng Ziying was a little puzzled.

Mu Xu then told him what he knew so that he would not miss anything.Only then did Feng Ziying know why Mu Xu said he was going to stare at Zhen Baoyu, and he also felt that Zhen Baoyu might be a breakthrough.

……

In the twinkling of an eye, it was February [-]th. Early in the morning, Concubine Nan'an took the four Quanfu wives invited by the Mu family to Lin's Mansion with the book of ceremonies, betrothal gifts and other things.The betrothal gifts filled the halls and rooms, and Jiamu, Xingshi, Wang Xifeng and others who came to help voluntarily felt that their eyes were shining brightly, and the voices of admiration kept coming and going.

Jiamu's eyesight is extraordinary, she just glanced at it and estimated that it is worth at least [-] taels of silver.From the amount of the betrothal gift, it can also be seen that the palace attaches great importance to Daiyu.

The ordering of the dowry and other matters were all done by Jia's mother herself, and she did not pretend to be someone else.

After presenting the letter of ceremony and the betrothal gift, Concubine Nan'an opened the gift box herself, took out some exquisite jewelry, put them on for Daiyu with a smile, praised her several times, and finally concluded the ceremony.

After accepting the levy, it was time for an invitation again. Concubine Nan'an came to the Lin Mansion in person again. If she were to be a matchmaker for someone else's family, she would definitely not do everything by herself.Concubine Zhang had previously suggested that an official media be invited during the application period so as not to overwork her, but she refused.

Concubine Nan'an is not her arrogant son, she knows very well in her heart, although both of them are county palaces, how can their Huo family compare with the respectability of the Mu family in the royal family?It's impossible to say that something will happen in the future, and I have to rely on the Mu family to say something nice to the emperor.So, taking advantage of being a matchmaker for Mu Xu, she naturally wants the Mu family to remember her as a favor.

Because the wedding date had already been agreed with Lin Ruhai before, so this time it was just a show, to officially hand over the post from Qin Tianjian to Lin Ruhai, after he read it, he nodded in agreement.In this way, the wedding date of Mu Xu and Daiyu is confirmed, which will be on the third day of April.

But when it comes to Jia Mu's place, she has been thinking about it since she returned from Lin's mansion.Yuanyang has served her for many years, and knows her thoughts like the palm of his hand. Seeing her like this, she can't guess that she must be worried about Baoyu's marriage.

So he comforted, "Old lady, everyone has their own fate, and Baoyu's fate has not yet arrived, so you don't have to worry too much."

Jia Mu patted her hand and said with a wry smile, "You don't have to persuade me. Baoyu has no choice now. When Lin girl was born, I made up my mind to make her and Baoyu a pair. Later He even took her to Beijing to raise her personally, apart from feeling sorry for the girl who lost her mother, he just wanted her to get closer to Baoyu."

Speaking of this, she sighed, "I don't know that Baoyu's careless mother is against me in everything. Alas, it's also my fault for pampering her too much these years. In the past, I always thought that the boss would inherit the mansion. I just want to compensate my second child more in terms of money. So I always turn a blind eye to the things she does. Who knows that she has raised her heart so much, now Even the boss and the first room have divorced me."

In fact, Yuanyang is a bystander, and she knows in her heart that the old lady is really partial to the second wife, but there is no room for her to say something about it, so she can only pick a nice way to say, "The old man just couldn't figure it out for a while, and it will be fine after a long time." Anyway, the old lady is also his biological mother, so how can he not be filial to the old lady?"

Mother Jia shook her head and said, "My own son, how could he not understand him? He didn't know why he scolded me in his heart these years? A while ago, their father and son cleaned up Lai Da and others, and now there is no more my wife in the house. It's time to talk. Forget about it, go and see if the second master is in the mansion today, and if he is, please invite him, I have something to say to him."

Yuanyang took the order and went away, and after a cup of tea, Jia Zheng came in, "Mother asked the son to come, do you have anything to say?"

Mother Jia motioned him to sit down, and then she said, "Baoyu is already sixteen, so it's time to say kiss, do you have any regulations?"

Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said as it should, "Baoyu grew up under her mother's knees, and everything is decided by her mother."

After hearing what her son said, Jia's mother became a little angry, "You still have the nerve to say this. If it weren't for you two, would Baoyu have nowhere to go? In half a month, Lin girl should get married, and Yun The girl is also engaged, tell me yourself, how can there be a girl suitable for Baoyu in the family of relatives and friends?"

After hearing these words, Jia Zheng also regretted a little. He should not have listened to Wang's words at first, and now he has harmed Baoyu to such a field.

After a while of silence, he said, "Otherwise, I'll ask my colleagues in the Ministry of Industry to see if any of their families have women of the right age. Or just listen to Wang's words and tell Baochai to Baoyu."

"Forget it, let's ask the Xue family's attitude first? If it's really not good, I can only lower my face and beg the wives of my best friends to let them take a look at Baoyu." Jia's mother wanted to agree to Jia Zheng, but she turned her head and thought, Most of Jia Zheng's colleagues were petty officials of the fifth or sixth rank.She despises women from those families.As for Xue Baochai, if it really doesn't work, she can only follow Wang's wish.

……

Although the third day of April is the day when Daiyu gets married, but on the second day of the second day of junior high school, according to the custom, the makeup is exposed, the man reminds the makeup, and the woman gives the makeup.

In addition to these, today is still the day to add makeup to Daiyu.In addition to the famous Mrs. Gao Ming in Beijing, even a few princes and concubines also came, which made some people feel envious.

Daiyu sat shyly and timidly in the room, thanking everyone who came.A group of ladies either gave head jewelry or silk and satin as presents.Among them, Mrs. Xing and Xichun were the ones who surprised Daiyu the most. Mrs. Xing gave four sets of golden head masks, a pair of jade ruyis, a pair of agate pillows, and ten bolts of silk and satin. I bought some valuable calligraphy and paintings.

Daiyu had lived in Jia's mansion, so she naturally knew Mrs. Xing was always stingy, but she didn't want to be so generous today, which moved her heart.But she didn't know that all the jewelry and satins brought out by Madam Xing were prepared by Wang Xifeng, and the precious calligraphy and paintings were even brought out by Jia She.

When Mrs. Xing saw these things for the first time, she still wanted to hide a few things, but Wang Xifeng had already guarded against her and asked Jia Lian to go to Jia She's to pass her breath in advance, so before she could do anything, she asked Jia She to scold her.At the end, Jia Amnesty also warned her that if she dared to lose face, she must make her look good.After hearing this, Mrs. Xing didn't dare to change her mind again, so she had to reluctantly send these things out.

Xichun's additions to makeup also surprised Daiyu. Under the leadership of Qin Keqing, she personally presented Daiyu with a pair of three-foot-tall golden boy and jade girl, which caused a burst of exclamation from the audience.Daiyu knew that Xichun would not be able to produce these things after the previous changes in the Ning Mansion, so these must have been prepared by Qin Keqing for her.

It can be seen from this that Qin Keqing treated Xichun very kindly, and Daiyu was also happy for Xichun.She even specially pulled Xichun to her side, had a chat, and wanted to stay in Lin's residence at night, Xichun promised not to mention it.

Lin Ruhai is just such a precious girl as Daiyu, so the dowry prepared for her is as much as [-] liters, which made the wives who came to add make-up present all speechless.The dowry over there has already entered the Dongping Palace, and most of the dowry here has not yet left the gate of the Lin Mansion, and it took a whole afternoon to give away the dowry.

　This book has been switched to the overhead history channel, so I would like to inform everyone that there is no traffic at all in light novels, and more than a dozen collections are added every day.
