Chapter 854 Lin Zhao returns to the capital to marry his sister, Xichun laments the civil unrest in the Feng family(2/3)
That’s it.”
Emperor Xiaozhang laughed and said: "So what if it's true or not? She is just a little girl after all. Lin Ruhai is shrewd. He is not willing to let his own girl be like the broken stone in Jia's house. He wants to publicize it everywhere."
Dai Quan smiled apologetically and said, "That family is really ignorant."
Emperor Xiaozhang nodded and suddenly asked Dai Quan: "Is the gift that Concubine Xian De gives to Jia's house now the same as before, forgetting General Jia and his wife?"
Dai Quan thought about it carefully and said, "I haven't forgotten everything. I haven't forgotten the New Year's Eve and Mid-Autumn Festival rituals."
Emperor Xiaozhang asked: "When she first entered the old residence, her name was written as the legitimate daughter of Duke Jia's mansion?"
Dai Quan said: "Exactly. My servant still remembers that the name of Concubine Xiande said: "The legitimate daughter of Jia Cunzhou, the second son of Duke Rongguo, and the uncle of the first-rank general Jia Enhou." The Supreme Emperor read about the merits of Duke Jia and rewarded him.
It gave her the dignity to enter the house."
Emperor Xiaozhang sneered and said nothing.
Let's talk about Daiyu's gift. In order to come to this day, all Lin Zhao's subordinates can take leave.
Four of them, Gu Haiquan, Han Wenchong, Feng Ziying, and Shen Lian, were all unmarried, so they formed the Four Diamonds and were responsible for embarrassing the groom in front of the Lin Mansion.
After following Lin Zhao for too long, the four of them were quite lawless and made trouble in every possible way. They used one method after another, asking for poems, red envelopes, and sword dancing.
But the people Prince Heng invited to help should not be underestimated. They were all very important, including the commander of the Forbidden Army, General Zhaowu, and even his own four nephews.
His four nephews were no better than ordinary people, and one of them might become a great one in the future, so everyone did not dare to go too far. Seeing that the auspicious time was coming, they hurriedly let him go.
Sister Feng and others listened to the excitement coming from the front and laughed non-stop. Finally, the Feng Guan Xia Pei was brought in, and everyone hurriedly put it on Daiyu. Lin Zhao, as the elder brother, came in and carried Daiyu to the sedan chair.
Daiyu had been crying in Jia Min's arms for a long time, but when she saw her brother, she wanted to cry again. Lin Zhao comforted her and said, "My sister should also be happy on this big day. Otherwise, my parents will be worried."
Don't worry, our two families are close to each other anyway, you can come back anytime you want."
Daiyu held back her tears, nodded gently, leaned on Lin Zhao's back, and followed him out step by step. However, she couldn't hold back anymore. When she reached the door, Daiyu's tears had already wet Lin Zhao's cheeks.
The whole back.
…
After Daiyu's wedding, Lin Zhao's vacation was almost over, and he was ready to leave Chang'an with Baochai.
Of course, before leaving Chang'an, he and Tanchun met in private, but it was just a matter of eternal oath.
But just as he was preparing to leave, there was news about Feng Ziying's errand.
He wanted to make progress, so he was assigned to guard Luoyang, and he would take office soon.
General Shenwu Feng Tang did not want to leave his son alone, so he wrote to Feng Ziying asking for another month of marriage leave.
Feng Ziying couldn't laugh or cry: "Old man, what are you doing? The fourth girl is only fourteen years old, how can she get married?"
Feng Tang said eloquently: "Why can't you get married at the age of fourteen? There are people who get married at the age of twelve or three. Besides, your brothers are all married now. When you take office, your Qiuniang is pregnant again.
You're pregnant, you can't travel far, and there's no one around you to take care of you, so how can you do that? Even if Qiuniang follows you, it's not easy to socialize in the backyard. So you should get married, and the marriage can be consummated two years later at most, what's the big deal."
Feng Ziying was helpless by her father, so she could only say: "This is your wishful thinking. Have you asked others about their intentions? Are they willing?"
Feng Tang sneered: "If I speak in person, how dare Jia Zhen respond? If he dares, I can break his legs!"
Feng Ziying quickly stopped her and said, "Old man, you're pretty close. It's a marriage, not a feud. What's wrong with someone who beats people at every turn?" He then said disgustedly: "You're like this. Last year, I beat Qiu Duwei's family.
When I was a son, you still had the nerve to talk about me."
Feng Tang said seriously: "That's different. My old enemy was the deputy commander of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, and he was also in charge of the patrol camp. The son he taught was also shrewd. It's your fault to fight against him, but Ningguo Mansion
Who does Jia Zhen mean? Calling him General Jia is a compliment to him." After saying that, no matter how Feng Ziying tried to stop him, he ordered people to invite Mrs. Feng and asked her to talk to Sister Feng in person.
As soon as Sister Feng heard what Mrs. Feng said about the Feng family's intentions, she didn't even have time to hesitate. She immediately patted her chest and agreed: "Madam, just don't worry, it's all on me. Madam, please go back and prepare for the wedding. The fourth sister's dowry is too old."
It was all in place earlier, but even now it’s more rushed, it’s still very thorough.”
Mrs. Feng was surprised, and then went back to ask Feng Tang and Feng Ziying full of doubts: "...Then Second Mistress Lian said that the fourth girl's dowry has been completed a long time ago? What's going on?"
Feng Ziying said with a smile: "Well, when Mr. Jing was still here, Mistress Lian persuaded Mr. Jing not only to let the fourth girl come to Princess Lin as a female official, but also left a dowry for the fourth girl in advance, which was deposited with Brother Lin.
That’s why Second Mistress Lian would say this now.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Feng couldn't help but admire her: "This Second Grandma Lian is a smart person. Although she married Jia Lian, it's a pity that she entered that place and ended up with such a family."
He also said happily: "We all watched when we were socializing. The four girls were brought out by Second Grandma Lian. Second Grandma Lian is such a person. The four girls must not be much different. With the face of Princess Lin, you
It’s rare for the boy to do something serious this time.”
Feng Ziying smiled and said: "Look at what mother said, haven't I ever done anything serious in the past?"
Mrs. Feng snorted coldly and said: "What serious things have you done in the past? What about the Cuiyi Loutou brand? The Hua Dan in Taohongyuan? The leader of the Jin family class? Which one is a decent person? And which family is your Qiuniang popular?
Girl? I'm just glad that you know the rules, and if you want to make trouble, you make trouble outside. You didn't attack your maids at home or cause any scandal, otherwise look at how I will teach you a lesson!"
Feng Ziying touched her nose and dared not speak.
Feng Tang said calmly: "For those of us with titles, it is inappropriate after all not to have a legitimate wife or legitimate son. If that Qiuniang gives birth to a son, you have no choice but to teach him well, but you can only give him a way to make a living!"
Feng Ziying nodded and said nothing.
Seeing that he was sleeping well, Mrs. Feng calmed down a little and said: "The fourth girl is a good girl, and you personally asked for her. You should treat her well when you get married. Even if you can't consummate the marriage in the first two years, you have to know
Be restrained and don't act so recklessly that you will make others feel cold. Otherwise, let alone Princess Lin and Uncle Lin, I will not spare you for being the first one."
Feng Ziying hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, my son will save the trouble."
Mrs. Feng hummed and said, "It's good that you know the importance." She turned around and discussed the wedding with Feng Tang.
After Sister Feng got the news, she didn't report back to Jia Mu first. She went straight to Prince Heng's Mansion to pick up Xichun, and told Daiyu and others about the Feng family's wishes. Finally, she said: "I think the Feng family's wishes are what I want."
.Although Mr. Feng is going to go somewhere, we will inevitably have to be separated from our fourth sister for two or three years, but this will save our fourth sister from being involved in our family in the future and save a lot of trouble."
Daiyu and others also agreed with Sister Feng's words. Although they were reluctant to give up, in the end, avoiding disaster was the most important thing. Sister Feng got the support of all the sisters and became more determined. She secretly planned in her heart and discussed with Daiyu and others to decide first.
After Xichun returned to Rongguo Mansion, he rushed to Ningguo Mansion without stopping.
Jia Zhen heard about the Feng family's plan and was a little hesitant.
Sister Feng knew very well what Jia Zhen was hesitating about, so she said, "Brother Zhen is worried about being too rushed?" Without waiting for Jia Zhen to say anything, Sister Feng quickly said: "Brother Zhen doesn't have to worry about this matter. After all, my sister has taken care of the second sister.
, Sister Xing has been waiting for several marriages, and she is familiar with these rules and procedures. She also knows which items are good and which store is good. So Brother Zhen, just leave it to your sister with peace of mind, and keep it safe for you.
The scenery is beautiful and will not lose the face of our two governments."
After hearing Sister Feng's words, Jia Zhen still didn't feel relaxed. He frowned and said, "I naturally believe in my eldest sister's ability. But now that life is difficult, the family has been frugal. According to the original plan, my sister will be born after two years."
I didn't get married until three years ago, so I planned to have a harder time in the past few years, so I could save some money so that I wouldn't wrong my sister in the future. But if the day comes now, I have to do something immediately, and the money in the house... Although the rent in various places
The money is about to be delivered, but now that this month, disasters are being reported from all over the country, the rent has to be discounted. And the new year is approaching, and many things such as New Year's gifts, New Year's wine, sacrifices, etc. require silver. This... alas, for a while
I'm afraid I won't be able to get much together after a while, and I'm worried that I will wrong my sister."
Sister Feng felt disdain in her heart: She didn’t have money to buy a dowry for her fourth sister, but she had money to spend time and alcohol outside to find a concubine? Who were she kidding? But she still smiled on her face and said: “If it’s a dowry for my fourth sister, brother Zhen doesn’t have to worry too much, I’m somewhat worried about it.
I have an idea. Just tell me the truth, Brother Zhen, how much dowry money can the family give to the fourth sister now?"
Jia Zhen made an estimate in her mind and said hesitantly: "Five thousand... no, ten thousand taels of silver."
Sister Feng said in surprise: "Ten thousand taels? When the second sister got married, it was only ten thousand taels. The fourth sister is a legitimate daughter, so is this only ten thousand taels too little?"
Jia Zhen said awkwardly: "I also know that I have wronged my sister, but it is really difficult in the house now. No matter how frugal I am, I can only scrape together five or six thousand taels at most. It will be too much if I have more, and I have to celebrate the New Year.
Besides, you still have to take care of the life of the whole family."
Sister Feng sneered in her heart, but smiled on her face: "In that case, Brother Zhen, just give me these fifteen thousand taels of silver. There must be subsidies from our ancestors. Sister Lin said that the fourth sister at least killed a female official next to her.
She had a name, so she told her cousin Lin that she also needed to buy some things. Although the three parties added up, although it was not comprehensive, it was not too different at least, and it was enough to meet the status of the fourth sister. That is
If it's not enough, the sisterhood between me and my fourth sister over the years is not fake. I paid for it out of my own pocket to make up for her. Even if it's a bit hasty, I must make the fourth sister's marriage glorious and decent.
, don’t let outsiders see the joke.”
When Jia Zhen heard about it, she was extremely grateful: "Sister, thank you for your help." She immediately ordered Jia Rong to go out and tell the accountant to take fifteen thousand taels of silver and give it to Sister Feng. She also ordered You to say: "Are you my sister-in-law?
, even if the eldest sister takes over the work, you still have to go over and help. If you can’t help with big things, you should also do some chores.”
How could Sister Feng let You intervene? If You came, how could Xichun's dowry be obtained from Lin Zhao? So she hurriedly said: "Brother Zhen also said that the new year is approaching and everything is busy, and my sister-in-law is no better than me.
, just an idler, just waiting to eat, drink and have fun. After all, she is the head grandmother of Ningguo Mansion and the patriarch of our clan. She has to arrange all kinds of favors during the New Year and take care of the clan's sacrificial affairs. She is very busy.
Let's make friends. Besides, these are top priority matters, which are related to the dignity of our family, and cannot be ignored at all. If the sister-in-law's energy is diverted from the fourth sister's affairs, and the important events of our family are delayed, the fourth sister will also be uneasy.
.So regarding the fourth sister's matter, if my sister-in-law is willing to do her best, she can help arrange the wedding banquet on the official day. Anyway, your house also has a New Year's banquet. Even if the two rules are different, they are not too different. They are all about eating and drinking.
If you are just joking at the theater, my sister-in-law will arrange it together."
Youshi was naturally happy and relaxed, and said with a smile: "Girl Feng has arranged it very well. In this case, I will be in charge of the wedding wine of our four girls, and the rest will be all on you. You must carefully prepare the wedding wine for us four girls."
The girl has done it, but if there is even the slightest deviation, we will not comply."
Sister Feng said with a smile: "My sister is doing things, so my brother and sister-in-law can rest assured that nothing will go wrong."
After returning to Rongguo Mansion, Sister Feng went to see Jia Mu again. After explaining what the Feng family said and what Ning Guo Mansion meant, Jia Mu said: "Although according to the rules, the fourth girl is from that mansion, and the dowry should be from that mansion."
Yes. But she grew up in our house, and she was filial to me every day. I loved her so much, but I had to watch her get married in a glorious way. I also know that now in the house
It’s so difficult that I can’t even use any spare money. That’s it, that’s it, I won’t use the money from the public house. Just like the second girl, I will spend 10,000 from my private house to make the dowry for the fourth girl.” Then he said to Sister Feng:
"Don't be careless with me. According to your sister Lin's temperament, she must have prepared something for the fourth girl's dowry. You can add it to it. There is a precedent for the second girl's marriage. The fourth girl is from the Ningguo Mansion.
