Chapter 901: The End of the Red Mansions
Speaking of this, Sister Feng became worried: "Brother Huan, it's okay. After all, he has serious errands to do. Now he has a thousand households. He has a bright future. And with you as a first-grade sister, I'm afraid you are spoiled for choice. But
Don’t forget there is our Brother Cong. To be honest, I have looked at a lot of people in the past two years, trying to find someone who is similar to me, but I can’t find one.”
"People from the gentry and merchant families were willing, but I was afraid of wronging them and refused to accept it; the officials from the official family were too ambitious and despised the fact that our family was white and looked down on us, so they refused to marry a legitimate daughter, only a concubine;
I read a few of them from scholarly families, and my daughters were a little angry because they were raised too small, and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to get on the stage.”
"Later, our wife said that there aren't many good ones in the suburbs of Beijing. No matter where the place is, it's definitely not as sophisticated as the ones in the capital. She asked me to look for it in the capital. I thought, I've been through this.
Over the years, our family's affairs have not been so conspicuous. The fourth sister and sister Qin are back again, so it would be better to move back to the city. It will be more convenient to marry them then. "
"I discussed it with Baoyu, his wife, and Aunt Zhou, and they were also willing to be closer to Aunt Zhao. So now we have sent people to clean up the yard, and we plan to return to the city next month, and then we can give it to them.
Let’s see. They are turning 20 this year, and we really can’t wait any longer.”
Yingchun said: "Didn't the second sister-in-law say that she wants to separate the family for Brother Cong? Is there any regulations now?"
Sister Feng said with a smile: "Well, as soon as I said that I wanted to marry Brother Cong, we didn't need to do anything, and the master automatically said that we would separate our families. Now we and Brother Cong have separate houses in the capital, and Cong
My brother's house is across from ours, and he will live there after he gets married. I had been worrying about it for so long, but I never thought it would be so easy."
Xichun snorted coldly: "Are you feeling sorry for the money? If Brother Cong gives it out earlier, your family's money can be given to him less."
Sister Feng sighed: "No matter how much I feel sorry for Yin Zi, he is still his son. If there is no one pushing him from behind, why would I be willing to separate the family so early? It's my wife!"
"Madam?" Everyone asked curiously: "Is it the eldest madam?"
Sister Feng nodded: "Yes. My wife told me later that she went to tell the master what she said. While I'm not here, Brother Cong will join forces with Brother Yun, Brother Qin and others to wait for Jia Huan's matter to be settled.
, when discussing with Shuangmu Bank to buy shares, she and our second husband worked out the accounts carefully for our master, and finally persuaded him to agree to the split. She said that she was used to being greedy and stingy anyway.
She has already been famous for a long time, and this time is not bad. Let her take the lead, and it will save me from trying to think of another way to damage the reputation of my brother and the others."
Yingchun sighed: "In the past few years, my wife has become more and more sensible. When I went to see them in the past, my wife was much kinder than the master."
Sister Feng agreed: "No, in the past few years, my wife has been much more sensible than our husband, which has saved me a lot of worry in that family. To be honest, when the master said this about the separation of the family, it was not only me, but also Brother Cong.
My son, I am relieved. Now his properties can finally be taken back openly. It is not a problem for me to leave them to your Lin family."
Xichun said: "This matter has been resolved. The most important thing now is to find a good match for him. After all, our family has a solid foundation, and a good girl should be able to find it."
Sister Feng said sadly: "The good girls who have come to our door in the past few years all want to marry Brother Huan. Aunt Zhao and Third Sister both know about this and have seen it. If there is no better way, just follow the one you like."
Just get engaged and don't worry about the exchange of favors."
"But after brother Cong separated, he also had to go alone. Therefore, their two wives will be the head of the family as soon as they get married. If you haven't learned these rules, how can you do it? Do you still need me to teach you? That's us.
If they are willing to teach, do they like our teaching?"
"Therefore, I have been picking and choosing, but I can't find the right one, which has delayed him for so long. It's just not an option to continue like this, so now I don't ask for her to be the legitimate daughter, even if she is raised in the name of the legitimate mother.
A concubine can be raised as a legitimate daughter."
Tanchun couldn't help but sigh after hearing Sister Feng's words. She also had a lot to say: "Brother Cong is ambitious after all! Although the eldest master and eldest wife have many ideas, they have separated after all. To be honest,
I'm not worried about Brother Huan finding a suitable one. I'm just worried about my aunt. As you all know, Brother Huan is very successful now, but my aunt doesn't seem to realize that she still says those slang words every day.
Brother Zhonghuan, when I heard that my aunt had such a temper, I hesitated to retreat!"
"Nowadays, daughters' families are very delicate. Even if they want to have a relationship with my family, they still worry about whether their children will be punished by their mother-in-law. If I find a powerful one for Brother Huan, I'm afraid my aunt will be sad again."
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh for Tanchun.
Marry a person with a gentle character. The woman's family is afraid that her children will be bullied by her mother-in-law.
Marrying a man of noble character, but fearing that his aunt will be wronged.
He was so weak that even the dignified Lady Yipingaoming and the owner of Xiangxuehai, Jia Tanchun, were in a dilemma.
But this is a family matter after all, and there is always a way to solve it.
Yingchun, Xichun, etc. will all go back to their husband's family to inquire. Miaoyu thought for a while and said: "There are many good girls in the branch of the Chen family who are not yet married. I will ask my husband to help me inquire. If there is any news, I will
Let’s talk to you two.”
Sister Feng said with great joy: "If you can get a girl from the Chen family to marry, it will be Brother Cong's luck. Third sister, even though Brother Huan has become a member of a thousand households, the girl from the Chen family may not be humiliated. Why don't you thank me in advance?"
, when things are done, let’s ask those two boys to kowtow to Grandma Chen.”
Tanchun also showed joy on his face and thanked him hurriedly.
Miaoyu smiled and said, "Whether it works or not, we have to wait until I have news. You are too impatient."
Sister Feng smiled and said, "It's already this time, can I not be impatient?"
When Daiyu heard about it, she said, "If you really like it, why don't you let me help you negotiate peace?"
Everyone said: "Let's leave it at that. Marriage is destined by fate and cannot be forced. You'd better prepare gifts and wait for our news."
Daiyu didn't force herself: "Okay, then I'll just wait for your news."
The Chen family is a scholarly family, and the family has special schools for boys and girls for the clan members to learn and read. Therefore, the Chen family is a declining family in the branch, and the basic education is a hundred times better than that of other families. Sister Feng, Tanchun and Miaoyu
We have been in contact with each other for a long time, and naturally we know these allusions, so I was very happy when I heard that Miaoyu said that she was willing to inquire on her behalf.
If it was Yingchun who spoke, Sister Feng and Tanchun would have to think carefully about it.
After all, although Sun Shaozong was great, the Sun family was not a scholarly family, but rather more vulgar.
Sister Feng and Tanchun have eyes as high as the sky, so they may not think highly of them.
Miaoyu also took this matter to heart. When she returned, she told her husband about Jia Huan and Jia Cong's conditions, and asked him what he meant. Chen Yexian pondered for a long time and said, "I'd better ask my mother for advice on this matter.
She knows much more about this kind of thing than we do."
Miaoyu was heartbroken, but the smile on her face continued: "In that case, when I go to greet my mother tomorrow, I will prepare more fruit snacks to please her."
Chen Yexian said with a smile: "How can we be so serious about this? It's just asking for some news. Anyway, my mother is someone who doesn't have time to do anything. She is also happy to have this thing to keep her busy."
Miaoyu smiled, but she disagreed in her heart. She had good intentions and wanted to help Sister Feng, but if she went to her mother-in-law for help according to her husband's words, Miaoyu would not dare to do anything anymore: she knew her mother-in-law's vision.
She is not a person with a long-term vision. Most of the women who can win her favor are clever talkers who are not suitable for a down-to-earth life in a single household. So she went to visit her mother-in-law and then sent a message to Sister Feng.
, explained the reason, apologized profusely, and said that he could not help.
After Sister Feng got the news, she was helpless: Miaoyu couldn't go beyond her mother-in-law to recommend people privately, and her mother-in-law's recommendations were not good, so what else could she do?
When Sister Feng was in trouble, Daiyu sent over several candidates, most of whom were the legitimate second daughters of sixth- and seventh-grade families: there were eunuchs from the Imperial Academy, Ph.D.
Dr. Tsuneji and others, the only family with a higher status is the fifth-grade Tobe doctor, but their daughter is the third daughter.
According to Sister Feng and Tanchun's intention, they naturally wanted to choose the daughter of the highest-ranking Hubu doctor. Anyway, no matter how high she was, she couldn't go higher than the first rank, but Jia Huan and Jia Cong chose the family of the Imperial Academy. Sister Feng was puzzled.
Huan smiled and said: "Thanks to my sister-in-law, I am now a Qianhu, but at present, it seems that there is no room for further meritorious service, but I don't want future generations to follow this path."
"No matter what Dr. Guozijian teaches, he is a well-educated man, and he will be of help to his children and grandchildren in the future. And we are not belittling ourselves. Even if the family of Dr. Hubu succeeds according to my sister's family background, they may not be so happy in their hearts.
I, the Jinyiwei Qianhu, take this seriously. Instead of being disliked by others in the future, it is better to have some self-awareness and find someone who can live a peaceful life. And Brother Cong also thinks so."
Sister Feng heard about it, thought about it carefully, and realized that what Jia Huan said was reasonable. But among the doctors of the Imperial Academy, Taixue was the sixth-rank official, and Simenguan was the seventh-rank official. When Sister Feng asked the two of them which one to choose, Jia Huan and Jia Cong
Without hesitation, she chose Simenguan. Sister Feng sighed and sent someone to tell Tanchun, telling her Jia Huan's choice. At the same time, she found someone to inquire about the homes of the four Simenguan doctors sent by Daiyu.
.
Taking the information from the inquiry, Sister Feng, Baochai, Tanchun, Xichun and others got together and made a careful selection. They also invited Mrs. Wang Ziteng and Aunt Xue to come forward to see the girls' character, and finally selected two of them.
Come to propose marriage.
The two families inquired about Jia Huan and Jia Cong's situation, and also inquired about the Jia family's personal connections. After some thought, they readily agreed. And because Jia Huan and Jia Cong were old, they could not wait. Sister Feng and Tan
Chun rushed to arrange an engagement for them at the end of August, and they were initially scheduled to get married in October.
In October, when Jia Lan went to war again, Jia Huan and Jia Cong got married. With congratulatory gifts from Dai Yu and others, the marriage of the two was a success.
The days passed peacefully, and at the end of the year, the suppression of bandits in various places was gradually coming to an end. Emperor Xiao De issued an order: before the Chinese New Year, the suppression of bandits must be completed, so that everyone can have a safe New Year!
After receiving the order, soldiers from all over the place surrounded and killed the bandits day and night. The bandits were forced to panic, and they began to fight back desperately with bare eyes. For a time, the number of casualties of the sergeants skyrocketed, and Jialan was among them.
.
When Li Wan received the death notice, he was stunned: Lan Geer is dead? Her Langeer is dead? How could her Langeer die? Wasn't it his father-in-law who took care of him? How could he still be alive?
What about dead?
"Ah!" Li Wan shouted and passed out! After waking up, he lay on the bed and refused to get up. He was even more disgusted with his pregnant daughter-in-law: Why is she crying? What qualifications does she have to cry? Her father is not Brother Lan.
Er's father-in-law? Why didn't you take a good look at him? Why did you let something happen to him? This mourning star! He shouldn't have decided to marry her in the first place! There was no help at all, and Lang Geer's life was in vain.
Li Wan refused to look at his wife anymore, and he was indifferent to the child in her belly: With such a useless mother, this child is also useless.
When everyone talked about this, they also sighed. When he went back in the evening, Baochai sighed: "Sister-in-law Zhu's retribution should be on Brother Lang."
Lin Zhao couldn't help but frown, and on a whim, he couldn't help but make some calculations: the cycle of cause and effect, the influence of the environment is huge, even if he didn't like Mrs. Wang, Li Wan was still affected by her, and now she and Mrs. Wang overlap, she
The poor daughter-in-law is now the same as she was before. Will this form an endless cycle?
After the war, the days became calmer day by day. Everyone gathered together, either talking about their children or their parents, or laughing at the wind and moon, discussing poems and books. Time passed by inadvertently, and many years passed in the blink of an eye. When King Ding became the new
When the emperor became emperor, Lin Zhao disappeared.
Not only Lin Zhao, but all direct descendants of the entire Lin family, including Daiyu and Prince Heng's line, have disappeared.
But soon news came that Lin Zhao had established a kingdom in Nanyang, with tens of thousands of warships under his command, hundreds of thousands of capable and skilled soldiers, and countless Semu and Nanyang natives who had been killed.
