Feng Ziying said: "It is said that this Zhen Yinglian is a girl from the Zhen family who lives behind your Lin Mansion. She and he were neighbors. According to him, both of them have suffered some hardships, but they can understand each other and support each other."
, so he was very concerned about it, and since there was no one in his family, he came to ask for our help to make the wedding more lively."
After hearing this, Lin Zhao raised his eyebrows, clapped his hands gently, and said with a smile: "It's really... marriage is destined..."
Feng Ziying was stunned: "How do you say that?"
Lin Zhao looked at Jia Lian with a smile and said, "That Zhen Yinglian is Xiangling."
"What? The one given to you by Xue Datou's concubine?" Jia Lian was shocked.
At the same time, I felt a little regretful.
That Xiangling is very attractive!
As a result, after Lin Zhao accepted her, he actually allowed her to regain her freedom.
But think about it, after all, Xiang Ling stayed at the Xue family, and Baochai married again...
Jia Lian shook his head and sighed.
Although there is a girl in this guy's family, she is always involved in women's affairs. I always feel that Xue Da's head is really in love with having this girl.
However, Xue Pan gave Xiang Ling to Lin Zhao, which was also a big investment.
But now it seems that no matter what, I can't reach out.
…
In the inner courtyard, Sister Feng, Xichun and Miaoyu came to visit Baochai and Daiyu, and Miaoyu also told the news.
When Baochai, Daiyu, Sister Feng, and Xichun heard about Yinglian's engagement, their eyes widened: "That Jiang Yuhan turned out to be an actor in Prince Zhongshun's palace. That year, Baoyu was beaten up by the second master."
Miaoyu nodded and said, "That's him."
Sister Feng couldn't help but frown and said: "Why did you decide on him? Although he has come out now, in the end..."
Miaoyu said: "I have said this to my mother and sister before. But my mother said that men in the world are so unlucky. After all, my sister has been a concubine and it is difficult to find someone. Although Jiang Yuhan has been an actor, he has now come out.
, he is also very ambitious to earn his own living, and he respects others, which shows that he is a responsible man. And because he himself has endured hardships, he can also understand what happened to his sister in the past. He has a good life, is well-educated, and
My sister can tell. And our family is in decline now, so the title of the daughter of a wealthy family is just a nice thing to say, but how can we take it seriously? So my mother said, they are a good match."
Baochai sighed: "If it weren't for my brother, Xiangling could have lived a good life in Jinling."
Daiyu held Baochai's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, you have your youth, so you don't have to blame yourself."
After everyone comforted Baochai, Xichun sighed and said: "Aunt Feng is very considerate. Yinglian's appearance and temperament match an ordinary person. It is really wronging her, and it is also pitiful that she has read so many books in vain. Jiang Yuhan
No matter how bad he is, after all he is a literate person who understands rules and principles, so regardless of his background, this matter is just as Aunt Feng said, and it is appropriate."
After hearing what they both said, Sister Feng thought about it for a while, and then she just sighed.
Daiyu then asked: "In that case, when will aunt plan to marry them?"
Miaoyu said: "The auspicious day is June 6th. Even if my sister gets married, my mother will still be with me, and he is the only one in my sister-in-law's family. Therefore, my sister-in-law has repeatedly begged my mother to welcome her as soon as possible."
After everyone heard about it, they all said, "In that case, we will all arrive on that day."
June 6th was a good day for Yinglian. On the fifth day, everyone came to give her a dowry. Yinglian’s dowry was not rich, except for the thirty-acre village that Miaoyu had given her earlier.
acres of land, the betrothal gift given by Jiang Yuhan and some gold and silver jewelry she brought from the Xue family, and nothing else.
And because the house they were living in originally belonged to the Lin family, and was surrounded by servants and guards of the Lin family, Feng was grateful to Lin Zhaoende, and after discussing with Miaoyu and Yinglian, she sold it to the Lin family again and lived in Miaoyu by herself.
Go to the east wing of the house.
Lin Zhao directly handed this matter over to Baochai.
Although Baochai wanted to take care of Xiangling, she felt guilty after all, so when she bought it again, she gave her five hundred taels. Feng didn't accept it, so Baochai said that it was her own makeup for Yinglian. Feng was helpless, so she
I had no choice but to accept it, and thinking that Yinglian's dowry was really meager, I gave her all the money to make a box of silver.
Because she and Yinglian both lived in Miaoyu's house, Feng was determined not to allow Miaoyu to give any more money to buy Yinglian a dowry and banquet. Miaoyu said this several times, but Feng refused even to the death. Miaoyu said again,
She was annoyed, and Miaoyu was helpless.
So on the day she added makeup, Miaoyu gave Yinglian a house deed and a dozen pieces of silk. Yinglian was shocked, and Miaoyu said: "This house is on Shun'an Street, next to the house I bought.
Although it is smaller, it has three entrances, a patio and a few big trees, which is very suitable for a family to live in. Sooner or later, this place will be returned to Uncle Lin. In the future, I will move there and you will move too.
Let's cook there. We are still neighbors, and it is convenient for mother to take care of us. Don't refuse. You see, I gave you this, and I won't give you those jewelry and antiques. It's not too outrageous to add makeup."
When Mrs. Feng heard about it, she said to Yinglian: "That's it, your sister has said so, accept it. Between relatives, you respect me and I respect you, so there is no need to be too polite. It's just Yinglian,
You must keep your sister's kindness in mind and treat her well with your son-in-law in the future."
Yinglian hurriedly agreed. She was lucky to meet Lin Zhao, Daiyu, Miaoyu and others in her life. She had never been big-hearted and had no ambitions for glory and wealth. Ever since she was abducted and trafficked, she only wanted to live a better life.
An ordinary person's life is enough. Fortunately, these kind people help her and make her wish come true. Otherwise, she will only be able to survive in this life.
The makeup everyone gave Yinglian was the same as the makeup they gave to Xing Xiuyan. They were all made of gold. However, they were concerned about their situation and the things should not be too eye-catching, so they gave Yinglian hairpins, gold bracelets, etc.
Lian was extremely grateful. Feng and Miaoyu smiled and entertained everyone for tea. When everyone saw that Miaoyu was rarely wearing purple clothes, they laughed and said: "You always love white, but you don't want a plain color like blue today."
You are well-behaved and dressed so formally, you can see that you know that you are the master and you have to act like a master."
Miaoyu said with a smile: "My mother said, in the past, I could wear whatever I liked in the boudoir. She couldn't control me all the time. I could just do whatever I liked. But it was not allowed on important days like festivals and celebrations. It was too much.
It doesn’t look good if you’re vegetarian.”
Yinglian smiled and said: "My mother also made my sister eat meat, but she is used to being a vegetarian. Drinking a tonic soup every day is like asking her to hang herself. She has to be watched by her mother before she is willing to eat it obediently.
If you don't pay attention, she will fold it all into the soup basin for you."
After seeing off the guests in the evening, Mrs. Feng heard Yinglian explain the reason and couldn't help but sigh: "You girls...why are you all so kind?"
Yinglian said with tears: "Actually, Mrs. Lin is also very good to me. I used to be at her home and she was very warm."
People who have come from the Feng family are well aware of Xiao En Xiaohui's actions, and know that Baochai must have planned Xue Pan's sending off his concubine, but there is no need to talk about this matter.
After all, if there was no Xue Pan to send off the concubine, there would be no mother and daughter meeting each other.
So Feng touched Yinglian's hand lovingly and said: "It's good to be like this now. When I was in Yangzhou in the past, I never thought that we would be able to have this day. We must be content and grateful. Let's do well.
Living a good life, being kind to those who treat us well, and not forgetting our old friends are better than anything else."
Yinglian nodded with tears in her eyes.
The next day, when the weather was just right, Yinglian bid farewell to Feng and Miaoyu in tears, got on the sedan chair, and left the pavilion.
Because Feng Ziying was good with Jiang Yuhan, she came to the groom's house to help, and also sent gifts from Liu Xianglian, Wei Ruolan and others, and Jiang Yuhan accepted them with a smile.
For today's banquet, he invited nearby neighbors and people with whom he had always been close, such as Feng Zi, and other "old" people such as Baoyu and others were not invited.
However, when Prince Zhongshun heard that he was getting married, he sent Chang Shi to bring a gift. Jiang Yuhan also knew the opportunity and quickly followed him to Prince Zhongshun's palace to kowtow to express his gratitude.
"That's all, that's all. It's rare that you still have filial piety. If you know how to come and kowtow, it's not in vain for me to cultivate you."
King Zhongshun had already found a new love at this time, so he let Jiang Yuhan out of the palace and said casually: "Now that I'm out, let's learn more. Since I don't want to do opera singing anymore, I'll learn how to settle accounts and do something in the future."
Business can also bring in some big income.”
Jiang Yuhan was very happy after hearing this and kowtowed repeatedly.
