When Jia Ke heard Jia Zheng's promise, a trace of joy filled her heart. She hoped that she could help Lin Daiyu this time. Otherwise, how could this lonely little girl live in this world in the future? Although Jia Baoyu was a little wasteful and a little carefree.
, but he is still very good to Lin Daiyu.
Moreover, Lin Daiyu's temper is not something that ordinary people can tolerate, which means that Jia Baoyu can get along with her without any problems.
I just don’t know what Mrs. Wang’s attitude is about this matter. The daughter-in-law in Mrs. Wang’s mind now should be Xue Baochai. But if Jia Zheng agrees with Lin Daiyu, Mrs. Wang is unwilling and has no choice.
If it were in the real Dream of Red Mansions, there would be nothing wrong with the marriage between the Rongguo Mansion and the Xue family. However, the status of the Jia Mansion is different now, and it is considered a top powerful family in the capital.
It's appropriate. After all, the current Rongguo Mansion is different from the dilapidated state in Dream of Red Mansions.
Although Lin Daiyu's father is dead, she is still the daughter of Lin Ruhai, the salt censor of Shi Lantai Temple, and her status is much more valuable than Xue Baochai. She is barely suitable for Jia Baoyu.
The most important thing is that now Lin Daiyu can give millions of furniture to Jia's brother's relatives' residence, but Xue Baochai cannot do this. Even if the Xue family is crazy, it is impossible to give up their own furniture for Xue Baochai, their daughter.
They were all given to the Jia family. After all, the Xue family also had a son, Xue Pan.
Neither Jia Baoyu nor Lin Daiyu had any utilitarian ambitions. In the future, they would be able to live a relatively happy life by writing poems and writing poems together.
Early the next morning, Jia Zheng came to Jia Mu's courtyard. At this time, Jia Mu had just finished breakfast and was sitting on the kang by the window drinking tea.
Jia Zheng entered Jia Mu's room and kowtowed to her first. Then he stood up and reported to Jia Mu, "My son has something to report to his mother and ask for her advice."
"If anything happens, you can make the decision. Just ask me what my wife is doing." Jia Mu didn't care.
Jia Zheng quickly bowed and raised his hands and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare. Mother is the Dinghai Shenzhen of our Rongguo Mansion. These things must be reported back to mother."
"In that case, just say it."
Jia Zheng bowed and handed over his hand, "Mother, the thing is like this. The current emperor Long En wants all the concubines in the palace to go home to visit relatives, but they must have a villa for relatives at home, so I came to discuss with mother this time, our family
The matter of building a provincial villa."
"Have you already agreed to bring the eldest girl back?" Jia Mu sat there and asked casually.
"Yes, I have this plan. Considering that we have hardly seen each other in these years, the emperor has granted a favor this time, so I want to take the eldest daughter home and let her come home to have a look." Jia Zheng said.
My words sounded like what Jia Mu said truthfully.
"Since you have decided so, I have nothing to say. Just do what you want."
When Jia Zheng heard Jia Mu's promise, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked around and then stood there silently.
Naturally, Jia's mother knew what Jia Zheng meant, so she waved her hand and said to the people below: "You all should step back."
The nanny and maid in the room quietly exited Jia Mu's room one after another.
"Tell me, what is it that makes it so mysterious?" Jia's mother complained to Jia Zheng.
"Mother, because we don't have enough money to build the provincial villa this time, I came to my mother to discuss it." Jia Zheng was silent for a moment, and then he spoke.
Jia Mu frowned and thought for a moment before asking him, "What do you mean by this discussion?"
"Although our family has been living a better life in recent years, after all, we have just had some surplus, so I'm afraid we won't be able to spend so much money to build a villa for relatives." Jia Zheng said with some embarrassment.
"Since you don't have enough money, do you want me to pay for it? That's it. When I get the money, it will be given to you. Take it now and save yourself from trouble in the future." Jia Mu said unhappily,
After all, no one wants to take away their own body.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. No matter how stupid my son is, he doesn't dare to touch his mother's pension money. What he means is that it is better to use the niece's dowry money first." Jia Zheng hesitated for a long time before telling the truth.
.
"Bah, you bastard, whoever gave you this idea should be dragged out and beaten to death. Our Rongguo Mansion has not reached the point of using an orphan girl to dowry money." Jia's mother really liked Lin Daiyu.
After Jia Zheng said this, your face changed. You didn't care about Jia Zheng's face and scolded him.
When Jia Zheng saw that Jia Mu was angry, he quickly knelt down and listened to Jia Mu's instructions.
Mother Jia cursed a few times, and when she saw Jia Zheng kneeling on the ground, not daring to reply, she stopped and said, "Is our house so poor? Without this money, wouldn't it be possible to build a villa for relatives?"
?”
As soon as Jia Zheng heard Jia Mu's question, he quickly replied: "Although our house has recovered some vitality over the years, the time is too short after all. Coupled with the expenses of the house, there is not much money left every year. This is because of my eldest brother.
Give us an additional fifty thousand taels every year, otherwise we will already be unable to make ends meet."
Jia Zheng also felt a little guilty when he said this. Jia Zheng also knew about the pomp and circumstance of Rongguo Mansion over the years, and he was the biggest beneficiary. The reason why the money in the government is not available now is because they have been too extravagant over the years.
.
Jia Mu frowned a little after hearing this, but thinking about it, the lavishness of the house over the years has become much bigger than before, even catching up with the time when Jia Daishan was here. Coupled with the welcome and delivery, it is already good to have some surplus.
.
"It's better not to touch Daiyu's things. My old lady still has some respect for herself. It's better to take them out to build the villa first." Jia Mu thought for a while and decided not to touch Daiyu's things. After all, this is Daiyu's future life.
Guarantee, as a grandmother, she should give this thing to Daiyu.
Furthermore, Jia Mu is also a little worried about Lin Daiyu's future. In her mind, it is best for Lin Daiyu to match Jia Baoyu, so that the two people she loves most can always be by her side.
However, after Jia Mu gave several hints to Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang changed the subject with other words. Jia Mu looked on coldly, thinking that Mrs. Wang probably did not want Lin Daiyu to marry their Baoyu.
Jia Mu is also very worried about this matter. Since ancient times, marriage has been ordered by parents and matchmakers. Since Mrs. Wang is not willing, she has no way to force it. Now Jia Mu can only postpone this matter to see if there is an opportunity in the future.
.
No, after waiting for such a long time, the time has come. Jia's mother understood what Jia Zheng meant when he raised the money just now, but she still pretended not to understand and tried to deal with Jia Zheng, asking him to tell him about it.
Whether it was because of his face or his true filial piety, Jia Zheng really didn't want to touch Jia Mu's personal money. After much hesitation, he told Jia Ke and Jia Lian what they wanted to do.
"Mom, you don't have to be like this. This is what we mean. I watched Baoyu and Daiyu grow up together. They were childhood sweethearts, so I thought it would be better to give Daiyu to our family Baoyu, which would be considered as a kiss. So Daiyu
This dowry money is considered our family's own thing, let's use it first. It won't be too late to pay it to the niece when the house gradually saves enough. I wonder what your mother wants?" Jia Zheng's face changed when he said this.
He was so embarrassed. He had never been so embarrassed in his life. For the money, he almost sold his son.
When Jia Mu heard this, not only was she not unhappy, but she smiled brightly. She had originally meant this. She had been waiting for Jia Zheng to speak, and now Jia Zheng proposed it himself. How could Jia Mu be unhappy?
Even if Mrs. Wang disagrees, there is nothing she can do.
"If it's like this, it's not impossible. If Daiyu is destined to marry into our family, it's not unreasonable for our family to temporarily touch her things and return them later." Jia Mu had a smile in her eyes at this time.
, agreed wholeheartedly. Now she was relieved. Her two sweethearts could be together in the future. In this way, she could be worthy of her daughter who was under the influence of Jiuquan even if she died. As for the money
It’s nothing.
Jia's mother was really worried about Daiyu. If she went to another place and was bullied, she might end up depressed in a short time. Now she is finally relieved.
Mother Jia thought for a while, but this was not a guarantee. If Mrs. Wang regretted it, she would have nothing to do with Mrs. Wang. Moreover, even if she punished Mrs. Wang, she still had to look at Wang Ziteng's face. It would be too late to regret it later.
.
So Jia's mother said to Jia Zheng: "Since we have agreed to their marriage, we should find a serious time to go through the paperwork and finalize the matter. If we use her money later, does Daiyu know?"
I won’t be upset.”
Jia Zheng was relieved when he heard Jia's mother agreed, and a smile appeared on his face at this time, "Don't worry, mother, I will go to the official media and have someone write a document. Let them exchange tokens. This
This is the end of the matter for the time being. After all, my niece has a double sense of filial piety, and it would not be good for them to make such a fuss at this time."
Jia's mother was very satisfied with Jia Zheng's arrangement. Jia Zheng had considered everything this time and had completed the matter successfully.
"In this case, you should get these things done as soon as possible, and then come to me with the marriage certificate to get the keys, so that you can build a villa for your mother-in-law early and let her come back to visit her relatives." Jia's mother was still a little worried and urged Jia Zheng.
A few sentences.
At this time, Yuanyang, who was outside, had heard the conversation between Jia Mu and Jia Zheng through the window. After hearing this, she felt a little happy.
She thought about it in her mind and told the little maid next to her: "You guys stay here and watch. If the old lady has something to do later, just keep an eye on her for a while. I'll be back soon."
After Yuanyang finished his instructions, he turned around and headed towards the house where Daiyu lived.
After Yuanyang came to the room where Lin Daiyu lived, she saw Lin Daiyu sitting in front of the bed playing with the Nine Links. Zijuan was beside her giving her advice, but the result was that she became more and more helpful. Not only did the Nine Links not solve, but it became a mess.
.
When Lin Daiyu was angry, she saw Yuanyang come in, threw the nine-ring chain on the bed, and said, "I won't play anymore. I've made it harder and harder for you to help me untie it today."
Zijuan also saw Yuanyang coming in at this time, and quickly went up to meet her, holding her hand and sitting beside Lin Daiyu's bed.
"What kind of wind has brought the chief manager of our house?" Zijuan and Yuanyang grew up in the same place, so they spoke relatively casually.
Yuanyang sat next to Lin Daiyu, looked at Lin Daiyu carefully, and then replied to Zijuan: "It was Zhuge Liang's east wind that brought me here. You have to reward me for coming here today. Otherwise, I won't know this news.
I told you."
After hearing what Yuanyang said, Lin Daiyu and Zijuan were both a little stunned. They and I didn't understand what Yuanyang meant.
