The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 44
Behind the screen, listening to the important events in her life, Daiyu blushed and didn't know what it was like. Yingchun and Tanchun envied Daiyu's lifelong support, but they still went up to congratulate her, Xichun is still young , I still don't understand these things, just watched the two sisters come forward, and congratulated them too.

Several people were teasing Daiyu, when Wang Xifeng walked in and said with a smile, "Okay, you guys, stop teasing Sister Lin, the old lady told you to go out."

Several people came out with Wang Xifeng, Concubine Zhang called Daiyu to her, took out a silk phoenix hairpin and inserted it on her temples, held her hand, looked her over carefully, and nodded with a smile.

Daiyu bowed shyly and timidly, "Thank you, Concubine Zhang." Concubine Zhang said with satisfaction, "We don't need to be so polite, and we will spend more time together in the future." Daiyu naturally understood what she meant , bowed his head in embarrassment.

Mother Jia also really loved this granddaughter in her heart. Although she regretted that she could not be assigned to her own Baoyu, she was still happy for Daiyu now, "I am a granddaughter who has lost her mother. I will ask the concubine and the princess to take care of me."

Concubine Zhang smiled and said, "It's up to you to say, I will treat Miss Lin as my granddaughter."

Wang Xifeng would be a good-natured girl, now that things are settled, she stepped forward and said, "Congratulations to the concubine on getting a satisfied grandson-in-law, and congratulations to the old lady on getting a young and promising grandson-in-law." Yu made a salute, "Congratulations to the concubine Shizi for getting a good husband, and she will have to take care of her sister-in-law in the future."

Concubine Zhang and Mother Jia were elated by what she said, and made Lin Daiyu so annoyed that she was about to tear her mouth out, while Wang Xifeng hid behind Yingchun and kept begging for mercy.

Concubine Zhang smiled and watched some people fighting, and when they were done, she said to Mother Jia, "Okay, I'm going to deal with my big business today, I have to go back home."

After hearing this, Jia's mother tried to persuade her, "Why don't you just come here for a while and then leave. It's not too late to leave after dinner. Our old sister has been gone for a long time. I still want to talk to you for a while."

Concubine Zhang shook her head and said, "There will be a long time in the future, don't rush this moment, besides, today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and there are still many things in the mansion." After thinking about it, she explained, "I shouldn't come to the door today, it's just later Xu'er's mother was going back to Liaodong in a few days, so I came to the door in a hurry, so don't dislike our family for being rude."

After hearing this, Jia's mother suddenly realized, and couldn't help asking, "The princess has only been back for two months, and she is leaving now?"

Concubine Zhang replied, "Hey, isn't it because I'm worried about Xu'er's father? Besides, now that Xu'er is with me in Beijing, it's good to let their husband and wife reunite."

Jia Mu tried to persuade her to stay a few more times, but when she saw that she still wanted to leave, it was all right, and she immediately ordered someone to pass a message to Mu Xu.

Concubine Zhang walked to the door after being escorted by everyone, and then she remembered something, and hurriedly called Daiyu, "Although our house is a palace, there are not so many rules. Don't worry about the saying that men and women don't meet after they are engaged, it's free." Come to the house and talk to me."

Seeing Daiyu nodding, she went.After leaving Rongguo Mansion, Mu Xu picked him up, and the group returned to the palace.

When Concubine Zhang and her party left, Mother Jia asked the others to disperse, leaving only Daiyu and Yuanyang in the room.Then he pulled Daiyu to her side and talked to her, "Grandma won't hide it from you. I brought you to Beijing to take good care of you for Min'er, and to tell Baoyu about you. In this way If you stay in the mansion in the future, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds."

She said with a wry smile, "I know you have suffered a lot of grievances in the mansion." Daiyu shook her head quickly, "Grandmother's words are serious, since I came to Beijing, my grandmother loves me so much, and my uncles and aunts also love me a lot. , Baoyu and Yingchun sisters also treat me like my own sisters, so how can I be wronged?"

Seeing Daiyu being so reasonable, Mother Jia couldn't help feeling more guilty when she thought of her dead daughter, "You don't have to speak for your second aunt, I know what she did. The reason why I don't care about her is because I always think about you in the future. To set up rules in front of her, if I take care of it, I'm afraid it will backfire and make your life difficult in the future." Seeing what Daiyu wanted to say, Jia Mu waved her hand, "Do you want to ask her why she doesn't like you?"

Seeing Daiyu nodding, Mother Jia continued, "That's because you offended your mother when she was at home. Forget it, don't tell your children about the past."

"Fortunately, now that you have talked about others, I think your father will agree to this marriage." Speaking of this, he inevitably talked about his daughter, "Your mother is a spirit in the sky. It must be comforting to see that you have a home."

Speaking of Jia Min, the grandfather and grandson inevitably cried bitterly again.When the two of them calmed down, Mother Jia continued, "I'll tell Feng girl later, you follow her to learn how to manage the house, and when you marry into the palace in the future, you won't be in a hurry when you get married."

After speaking, he thought for a while, "Forget it, let the second girl and the third girl follow suit, so that they won't all marry into their husband's family in the future, and people will laugh at our family tutor again."

The two talked for a while longer, and then Mother Jia let Daiyu go back.After Daiyu left, she thought for a while, and said to Yuanyang, "Please tell me, don't tell Baoyu about Daiyu's engagement, lest the child can't accept it for a while."

Yuanyang naturally knew the reason, she nodded, and seeing Jiamu's sad face, she couldn't help persuading, "Old lady, you also want to open it up. It's good that Miss Lin has a home. Besides, doesn't the wife want to tell Baoyu to Baoyu? I think Miss Bao is also pretty good."

Mother Jia smiled wryly, "I'm afraid that her bamboo basket will be empty. I didn't agree with her before because they came from merchants. Now that kid from Xue's family and Lian'er are working in the embroidery guard together. It may not be possible. You guys Madam's calculations, I really think that others can't understand."

Yuanyang had nothing to say after hearing this, and the room fell into silence for a while.

Besides, when Mu Xu was escorting his grandmother back to the mansion, Grand Concubine Zhang saw that he was hesitant to speak, so she deliberately didn't say the result of the trip, and talked about him from left to right.It wasn't until he saw that he was fidgeting that he smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you are not in a hurry to marry a wife? Why are you in a hurry now?"

Mu Xu secretly scolded himself for not being able to hold his breath after being a human being in two lifetimes, and argued forcefully, "I'm not in a hurry, I just thought of something else for a while."

Concubine Zhang naturally would not expose her grandson, she replied with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes. My grandson is not in a hurry, it is his grandmother who is in a hurry." She also stopped teasing him, "Don't worry, your grandma will help you. There is nothing else to say about this matter, just wait for the letter from Lin Yatou's father to agree, and our family will go to issue a letter of appointment."

Seeing that Mu Xu was a little embarrassed, he said again, "Come on, I won't tell you about this, I will discuss it with your mother." Turning around, he told Chuntao, "Go and invite the princess, I have something to say."

But after a while, Princess Changning came in a hurry, and asked as soon as she entered the door, "Mother, is this trip going well?"

Seeing her like this, Grand Concubine Zhang laughed and teased, "I know who Xu'er learned from when she is so impatient. If you are so anxious, what else can I say about this?"

Princess Changning sat down and replied, "Aren't I going to Liaodong? I'm afraid I won't have enough time, so I have to hire a matchmaker. What rules does mother have?"

Concubine Zhang couldn't help frowning when she heard this, "Jia Shishi sent a letter to Yangzhou to her son-in-law, he has to think about it, and then it will take a month at the earliest to reply to the letter, I think you really can't catch up."

Princess Changning hesitated, "Why don't I leave later?"

Concubine Zhang thought for a while, "That's all. You'll leave after the fifteenth day. After all, you just issued a letter of engagement. When Miss Lin is going to marry, it will take at least two years for her to marry. You just need to prepare the gifts needed for the letter of engagement recently. "

"That's fine, but who is the matchmaker's mother planning to invite?"

"I reckon that Miss Lin's father will definitely not be able to accept the letter of appointment in person. It should be her grandmother Jia Shishi who will handle the matter. I am going to ask Concubine Nan'an to be the matchmaker." Concubine Zhang thought for a long time before deciding on this candidate, "One day First of all, her age is just right, secondly, she and Jia Shishi have always had a good relationship."

After hearing her mother-in-law's choice, Princess Changning couldn't help but nodded, "Mother is very considerate." When she was speaking, she saw her son sitting below with blank eyes, and couldn't help being amused and angry, and laughed and scolded, "You boy, I Who are you and your grandmother busy with, why do you have this expression?"

Mu Xu must have been frightened by the tedious rules of ancient marriages. This is the engagement. Isn't it more troublesome to wait until the marriage, so he said immediately, "Is this too troublesome?"

Concubine Zhang waved to him with a smile, "Okay, you can go and play, your mother and I have our own ideas about this matter."

When Mu Xu heard this, he hurriedly got up and saluted, then walked non-stop.I only heard the mother complaining to the grandmother from behind, "Mother, look at you, isn't this spoiling him?"
