Xie Yu: "I..."

Jia Mu: "You can go down now!"

"Come, let's see the guests off!"

When meeting such a nimble old man, Xie Yu didn't know what to say for a moment.

Watching Xie Yu leave, Jia Mu's domineering attitude turned into loneliness, and she whispered: "Wang family, Wang family..."

Mother Jia was not so anxious. When she saw the crabapple flowers in Baoyu's room blooming for no reason, she, an old lady, had to have a bad premonition.

When she thought that it was just the unexplained noise in the ancestral hall, she knew that she could no longer deceive herself. She did not marry well in the Spring Festival, and Tanchun married in a distant place. Now she had to endure the pain for this dear granddaughter.

I couldn't help but think of my husband's youthful glory. If my husband was still alive, he wouldn't compromise like this.

It's just that now that Wang Ziteng has been promoted to inspector of nine provinces, the boss of the four major families has actually been replaced by the Wang family from the Jia family.

Otherwise, Mrs. Wang, who used to be the second wife, would not be the housekeeper Wang Xifeng now.

Then, Xie Yu was escorted all the way by people arranged by Jia Zheng, as if he didn't want to be disturbed by others, and sent Xie Yu away from Jia's mansion.

Xie Yu's legs were shaky and his mind was confused all the way. When he arrived at his house, he regained consciousness slightly.

Looking at the sky, Xie Yu realized that Jia Mu really wanted him to marry Lin Daiyu.

But shouldn't Jia's mother be a supporter of "Bao Dai Love"?

Xie Yu was in a state of confusion and felt a little guilty for several days. She secretly asked someone to send a message to Lin Daiyu, but there was no reply.

It turned out that it was just a joke. Xie Yu really never thought about actually marrying Lin Daiyu.

If I really get married, I secretly wonder if I will be resented by Lin Daiyu’s fans and be squeezed to death!

Xie Yu had already met her once when she was a nineteen-year-old girl.

Suddenly, Xie Yu thought that with Lin Daiyu's character, she might have died for Jia Baoyu before she got married!

In fact, the emotion of dying for love is real, but I don’t know what Jia Mu said to Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu, who was originally strong-willed, became worried and reluctantly nodded and agreed. At the same time, she also decided in her heart what if...

She would die without involving the Jia family, which would be regarded as repaying her grandmother's kindness in raising and teaching her.

Sometimes I am too smart, think too much, and worry too much, which only traps myself.

Here, don't underestimate the wisdom and foresight of an old lady who has gone through ups and downs and is nearly 80 years old, but still has good hearing and vision.

In fact, how could Jia’s mother not know that Jia’s family was getting worse every day?

However, she is powerless now. Emotionally, she naturally wants her granddaughter to get closer to her beloved grandson and stay by her side forever.

But, rationally, let Mrs. Jia Mu understand that at her age, who can take care of her granddaughter for her a hundred years from now? Can she expect those few who are not up to par?

Baoyu must be a good child. If the Jia family was prosperous and could enjoy dignity in the past, she would definitely help these two children and let them stay with her for the rest of their lives.

But based on the foreseeable situation of the Jia family, these two children may not only not live a good life together, but they may also suffer.

In the end, Jia's mother naturally "persuaded" Lin Daiyu to submit. Lin Daiyu could only accept it due to filial piety.

These days, what matters is the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. Free love is just the fantasy of boys and girls. Otherwise, "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion" would not be banned books in the boudoir.

On the eve of the wedding, Lin Daiyu sat alone under the screen window. Her suspicious and sentimental character, aloof and cold temperament made her think about the remaining sentences she had left behind.

"Under the screen window, I have no chance at all, but in the loess ridge, how can you be so unlucky?"

"The wind is blowing fiercely across the river and the sky is full of mournful geese, but it's just a broken-footed goose. Its cry makes people go crazy... Canhe River listens to the sound of rain."

At this time, Lin Daiyu was both determined and hesitant.

I feel that my heart would be broken if we could not stay together, but I am also grateful for my grandmother's upbringing and teaching.

At the same time, she also misses Jia Baoyu and hopes that Jia Baoyu can stand up for her.

But all of this is ruthless...

But some things seemed irredeemable, but when I saw the sewing basket with half a purse made, and the familiar pair of scissors, they looked so familiar!

…

In ancient times, marriage, especially marriage between officials and nobles, was really troublesome.

For this reason, Xie Yu not only took a marriage leave, but also hired an official media agency called a "marriage agency." They had their own set of wedding procedures, in which all wedding utensils were "borrowed" and all they had to do was spend money.

Jia Lian and the others were still thinking that they would ask Xie Yu to get at least 10,000 taels of silver as a gift before marrying Lin Daiyu to Xie Yu. After all, Lin Daiyu was also the direct mistress of the Duke's mansion.

It’s just that Jia’s mother said several times that Xie Yu came from a small family and had only been an official for a few years. She would not allow Xie Yu to give heavy gifts.

But after all, Lin Daiyu was also a noble lady from the Duke's palace. In the end, Xie Yu sent a betrothal gift worth more than 2,000 taels, which was mostly taken back as Lin Daiyu's dowry.

It can be said that only a symbolic amount is left.

In reality, my mother-in-law would be moved to death if she encountered this.

Of course, according to the original dowry standards of the Duke's Palace, Lin Daiyu, as a noble lady, should have a dowry of ten thousand taels. In addition, Lin Ruhai must have left a lot of money and dowry for her before her death.

It's just that now the Jia family has become an empty shell due to long ago filling the shortfall. Although Jia's mother also secretly sold off the subsidies, many of her children, grandchildren and servants did not live up to the expectations. They thought it was back then, which made Wang Xifeng, the second mistress of Lian, even more heartbroken.

Already.

Therefore, coupled with Lin Daiyu's current indifferent look and Mrs. Jia Mu's thoughts, her dowry actually contains many old objects, which are filled with false information. At best, they are antiques, and at worst, they are old and tattered. The most is hers.

A book inherited from my father, Lin Ruhai.

Lin Daiyu was not so "poor" in the first place. Her father, Lin Ruhai, was able to hold the position of salt patrol censor for seven or eight years. Everyone must be satisfied with this job. Although he is an "upright official", it is the normal annual filial piety of the people below.

.

In addition to her daily frugality, after so many years, she has at least tens of thousands of taels. Not to mention that when Lin Daiyu entered Jia's house for the first time, in order to let Lin Daiyu live a better life in Jia's house, Lin Ruhai supported Jia Yucun.

He brought a lot, not to mention the dowry from his mother Jia Min.

But due to the feudal etiquette tradition, Lin Daiyu had no choice, because Lin Ruhai's son died young, leaving only one daughter, Lin Daiyu.

Therefore, the original family property that she should be able to inherit, because her younger brother's parents died young, most of it must have been divided up by the Marquis Lin's uncles and brothers who were destitute of the Lin family.

Mother Jia had anticipated this and specially arranged for someone to bring Lin Daiyu over. Lin Ruhai also wanted to come out of the Hou Mansion. Naturally she knew the temperament of their uncles and brothers, so she reluctantly sent Lin Daiyu away to her grandmother.

Moreover, under the prestige of their mother, the first-grade concubine, the Lin family, although greedy, still returned the dowry of Lin Daiyu's mother, Jia Min, and gave some symbolic compensation.

All of this adds up to a lot of money, so it shouldn't be so frugal.

It was just that when Jia Lian went to do it later, he set up a temple in Gusu to guard the tomb and pay homage. He spent part of it, and the "oil pot money" passed on part of it. When he finally arrived at Jia's house, he actually had some more fixed assets left.

Some things are priceless if they are affectionate, but if they are not affectionate, they are just junk in the eyes of others.

In fact, based on Jia Mu's thoughts, she also had some low-end inventory, so it would be no problem to collect a dowry of 20,000 to 30,000 taels for her beloved granddaughter.

It's just that the Zhen family taught her that it's not necessary, and it will also get her into trouble.

Therefore, the dowry given to Lin Daiyu was mostly old books, old silks and satins, old accessories, and more intangible assets.

These, if it is said to be two thousand taels of silver, it is correct to say it is ten thousand taels of silver, in short, the rest are not affordable things.

It appears to be harsh, but in reality it is also protection.

Of course, Xie Yu doesn't mind this. After all, he has rich experience in time travel and has a good way of making money.

What Xie Yu cares about is whether he will be struck by thunder if he marries Lin Daiyu!

Just as she was thinking about this, when Xie Yu went to welcome her bride, she suddenly felt that a few special people seemed to be secretly checking Lin Daiyu's dowry.

With a shiver in her heart, Xie Yu suddenly realized something. Why did Jia Mu ask Lin Daiyu to marry her as soon as possible? This old man had gone through ups and downs, and the affairs of the Zhen family in Jiangnan were still the affairs of the historians some time ago. How could she not know, how could she not wake up.

He is using Lin Daiyu as a way out for the Jia family!

No wonder, given Lin Daiyu's character, she entered the sedan chair calmly. She must have been told something by Mrs. Jia's mother, so there were no rumors of suicide or elopement.

At this time, Xie Yu did not know that his information had reappeared on the emperor's eucalyptus. It was just that the emperor was dealing with many things and needed a longer-term plan to deal with those nobles who affected the national affairs.

His close confidants had copied Wei Ruolan's wife's family, not to mention the somewhat disgusted Jia family.

Now you just need to be careful not to let them transfer assets.

Moreover, the Jia family had just donated a biological daughter and went to Nanfan to get married. For the sake of temporary stability, it was not easy to attack the Jia family at the moment.

It was a busy day. Zijuan supported Lin Daiyu, who was weak, and bowed to the two tablets covered with red silk. The ceremony was completed.

Afterwards, Zijuan, the maid, naturally escorted Lin Daiyu to the bridal chamber, and specifically told Lin Daiyu not to make noises and surprises if she was ill. After the bridal chamber, Xie Yu went to greet the guests.

As for drinking, change it to water. If you don’t tell others, no one will know.

I really hate the drinking part!

By the time the guests had dispersed, it was already getting late.

When he arrived at the bridal chamber, he saw Zijuan squatting at the door and taking a nap. Xie Yu called out.

Zijuan saw that it was Xie Yu. Although she was dissatisfied, she did not dare to express her emotions too much and said: "Master Xie, no, sir, you are back!"

Xie Yu: "Master? Oh, it's not wrong. I will be the master from now on!"

"have you eaten!"

See Zijuan shaking her head!
