In marriages between big families these days, a very important factor is the strength of both families.
If Lin Ruhai dies, Lin Daiyu will become an orphan, alone, and the Lin family has been passed down alone for several generations. There is no power to rely on. The only one she can rely on is the Jia family. This is Lin Ruhai's true thought.
No matter how outstanding Feng Ziying is now, the excellence is only Feng Ziying herself. In a sense, being too excellent may not be a good thing for her daughter, which means that the competition will be more intense in a certain sense, especially when there is another
In the case of the Shen daughter.
Feng Ziying's current performance is also very reliable, and she is also very infatuated with Daiyu, but as a man, Lin Ruhai also knows that it is irrational to place all this on a man's sensibility.
Time is like water, no matter how beautiful the face is, it will wither. Daiyu's temper is not very good. Will there be any problems in their marriage in the future? Lin Ruhai can only say that she will do her best and let fate.
So on the one hand, we should try our best to support Feng Ziying and let him feel grateful. On the other hand, we should also help the Jia family, which can be regarded as a precaution.
If something unexpected happened, after all, Jia's mother was Daiyu's grandmother, and Jia She and Jia Zheng were also Daiyu's biological uncles, so they wouldn't just sit idly by.
On this point, both Feng Ziying and Lin Ruhai knew it tacitly. Feng Ziying knew it and would not stop it, because if she were in Lin Ruhai's position, she would think the same way.
What's more, it's really hard to predict how the feud between Emperor Yonglong, the Supreme Emperor, and Prince Yi Zhong will end.
Although judging from various signs, Emperor Yonglong has an absolute advantage over Prince Yi Zhong, but there are too many variables in this matter of seizing the legitimate son. Prince Yi Zhong will not understand this, but he still goes his own way. I'm afraid
It's not as simple as just going his own way. He must have others to rely on.
He also has advisers and strategists under him, who are also planning for him, and there are many allies. In this case, the comeback may be overnight, so who will determine the role of Jia Yuanchun in it and the future destiny?
Can you explain it clearly?
"If Brother Keng really wants to marry Miss Lin, it would be a bad thing."
Jia She's mind was all about money, while Jia Zheng wanted to look a little further, which was slightly different from his wife Yu's wish to marry a treasure girl, but it was still better than marrying a woman who had nothing to do with the Jia family.
"Well, that's what my second brother said. If Lin girl marries the Feng family's eldest son, our Jia Feng family will be much closer in the future."
Jia She also thought about it, the Feng family was rising rapidly, Lin Daiyu was also his niece, and he had no one to rely on in the future. By marrying the Feng family, the Feng family was considered to be integrated with the Jia family.
A few days ago, some businessmen from Shanxi and Shaanxi came to ask about Lian'er. In fact, they found out that Lian'er was working for Feng Ziying, and sent several gifts of great value, including five hundred yuan directly.
Two silver coins made Jia She smile even more.
With this kind of relationship, others dare not say it, at least there will be no shortage of people coming to the door to give gifts, and the Jia family will also be able to rise. In Jia She's view, it is even far better than the Jia Guifei who entered the palace for no reason but made little noise.
benefits brought by.
"It's just that Lin Yatou's body is a little weak, so I'm afraid..." Jia Zheng sighed softly and shook his head. He thought he couldn't pass Feng's mother Duan's test before, but now that she has passed, if Lin Yatou gives birth to a child in the future,
Not having a son is also a big problem.
Jia She's mind moved slightly, and he subconsciously thought of his concubine welcoming the Spring Festival, but he couldn't say it out yet.
"Lian'er, you haven't told anyone else about this yet, have you?" Jia Zheng frowned. He originally wanted to help the Xue family connect, and by the way, he could also talk about borrowing more money from the Xue family to build a garden.
, but now it’s a bit difficult to handle.
Jia Zheng had asked his wife to talk to Aunt Xue before, but the Xue family said they could only get 20,000 to 30,000 taels of silver, and nothing more, which was a bit embarrassing.
My brother has been insisting that the Xue family can lend him one hundred and eighty thousand. This gap is too big, which makes him a little unhappy. He just wants to help Bao Yatou marry Brother Keng. With such achievements, he can borrow five or six more.
Ten thousand taels of silver is a matter of course.
Unexpectedly, it turned into what it is now.
"Not yet, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate to hide this matter any longer, right?" Jia Lian hesitated and said, "Although Uncle Lin's health is not said to be bad soon, he probably won't be able to survive the autumn. Now Ziying and Sister Lin have made an appointment.
Dear, Mr. Lin is no longer worried. I am afraid my ancestors should inform them earlier..."
"It's best if we don't explain it all for now. Second brother, we have to go to the Xue family to agree on the amount of money. If 80,000 is not enough, 60,000 will always be available. I'll bother my brothers and sisters to go through the hard work again."
Jia She said decisively.
Jia She and Jia Zheng had already discussed this matter. Even if the Xue family had some thoughts, the money would be easier to borrow.
If the Xue family is completely in despair, unless Baoyu is allowed to marry Baochai, they may not even be able to borrow the two to thirty thousand taels of silver.
Jia Lian naturally didn't understand the method, but Jia Zheng certainly knew it, but it was just his nature that he was unwilling to use such despicable methods.
But the family had to do some calculations. It would cost a lot to build a decent yard. The initial estimate was 400,000 taels. If this was done, they might have to take the initiative.
In the future, you can't say that you have built the garden, and the family will live on the northwest wind without eating or drinking. Therefore, the public middle school cannot be drained all at once, and it can only rely on borrowing.
This was his daughter's matter, and his brother was thinking about it for his own sake, so Jia Zheng had no choice but to accept it.
*********
Xue Pan hurriedly rushed into the room, startling the couple who were sitting at the round table chatting. Aunt Xue's face darkened, "My son, you are such an adult, why are you still so shameless?"
Steady? I heard a few days ago that you are much better than before,..."
"Mom, sister, Ziying is back!"
Xue Pan stood still panting, looking at his sister with a somewhat complicated look.
"I came back yesterday. I heard what Liu Erlang said at the Daguan Tower today, so I rushed to the Feng Mansion. However, the Feng Mansion said that they had entered the palace early in the morning to attend the court meeting. I thought again that I must be here at noon.
When I went out to eat, I asked someone to guard me. Unexpectedly, the servants came back and said that there were too many people guarding outside the palace gate. I couldn’t get close to them and couldn’t find anyone..."
"Ah, the old man of the Feng family is back?" Aunt Xue was also overjoyed, "It doesn't matter if you have official business, just be busy for the past two days..."
Baochai's heart also trembled, and her beautiful eyes were filled with affection, "Brother, please don't be so impatient. Brother Feng will definitely stay for a while when he comes back. There are many things going on inside, so we'd better not disturb him for the time being until he is free...
"
"Sister!" Xue Pan was anxious and hesitated to speak.
He was a person who couldn't keep things in mind, so his expression immediately made Aunt Xue suspicious. Baochai was even more intelligent, and her heart sank, knowing that she was afraid that her brother would hear some bad news again.
"Son, what's the matter?" Aunt Xue took her son's hand and asked quickly.
"It's nothing. It's just that my son feels that Ziying will be busy when he comes back. Didn't it mean that Brother Lian was helping him in Yangzhou and his reputation has spread to the capital city? What about the Jia Mansion?
I even received a lot of gifts from him..." Xue Pan finally found a topic to change the subject.
Aunt Xue looked at her son suspiciously, as if she didn't believe it, and Baochai naturally knew that this was definitely not the case, but she couldn't find the answer in front of her.
Finally, Aunt Xue was tired and wanted to take a nap. Only the brother and sister were left.
Know?"
It was like a giant hammer hitting Baochai's heart. Although Feng Ziying had already told him that he wanted to marry Lin Daiyu, when there was no news from him, the news of Feng Ziying and Lin Daiyu's marriage came.
It was still hard for Baochai to accept.
With a slight expression on his face, Baochai tried his best to calm down and pretended to be relaxed: "Brother, why are you talking about this? My sister has known about this for a long time. Doesn't my brother also know about it?"
"Huh, it's certainly displeasing that Ziying and Lin's sister are engaged, but why did the Jia family spread the news a few days ago that a girl from the Shi family might marry Ziying?"
If the news just now was just expected and made people feel uncomfortable, this news is like a bolt from the blue. How could it be like this?
Baochai's body shook violently, and she subconsciously held the round table with her hands to steady it.
There is never anything groundless in this world. From the news coming from the Jia family, there is definitely something unknown here.
"Brother, where did you get this news?" Baochai couldn't hold himself steady anymore, his lips trembled slightly, he sat down holding on to the edge of the table, holding the sweat towel tightly with one hand.
"The other day, I went to Ningguo Mansion to look for Brother Zhen and Brother Rong, and I happened to meet that guy Jia Qiang. He was also very familiar with a few boys in Rongguo Mansion. I heard that he left Sister-in-law Lian's house.
To find out where to start, I need to prepare to hire a troupe for the garden in the future. I need to go to Suzhou, Hangzhou and Yangzhou for a walk..."
Although Xue Pan was stupid and indifferent in ordinary things, he cared more than anyone else about matters related to Feng Ziying and his sister.
"The guy mentioned that Miss Shi Jia and Feng Ziying went to Yangzhou together, saying that this was also a fate. I don't know who mentioned it in the old lady's room. I heard that the old lady had such an idea and asked people to go there.
The Shi family went to consult Miss Shi's two uncles about their opinions, but the Shi family has not responded yet..."
