Wang Xifeng couldn't answer this question for a while. Are there any good girls in the Jia family? But how many of them have found good families?
The eldest girl entered the palace and struggled hard in the cold rain and wind. Outsiders didn't know it, but Wang Xifeng knew very well that it was an abyss where there was no return.
The future of the second girl is still uncertain. If she really wants to marry into the Sun family, she will be in a den of tigers and wolves.
The third girl is brave and high-spirited, and has the spirit of a man, but it is a pity that she is a concubine, and the master and wife do not care much about her. She is already sixteen, but she has not been arrested yet. Aunt Zhao is also a fool, how can she expect her to spy for her?
Can't Chun find a good family? Once this gentleman goes to Jiangxi, he won't be able to come back for two or three years. I'm afraid that the girl Tan's fate will have to be left to the whims of his wife.
The fourth girl is still younger, but with the temperament and virtues of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, it would be difficult to find a suitable one for her. No one can predict her fate.
There is also Girl Yun. The Shi family is in a state of trouble right now. The brothers of the Shi family have no intention of taking care of Girl Yun's affairs. They just leave Girl Yun here and ignore her. Maybe they just send her away to find someone to live with.
Forget it, just don't fight with the two brothers about the family property.
Even Li Wan's two cousins came to the capital just to find a suitable family. But considering the situation of the Li family in Jinling, it shouldn't be difficult to find one, but you have to come to the capital city to find a more satisfactory one.
, it may not be as satisfactory as expected.
After a long time, Ping'er seemed to remember something and said: "Grandma, uncle Feng is coming to the house for a banquet tomorrow, and both the uncle and the master will accompany him in person. I heard from my wife that many people outside have learned about Feng."
The uncle is coming to Jia's house and wants to take the opportunity to visit and find an opportunity to meet Uncle Feng, which makes the master and his wife very embarrassed."
"Things like this happen everywhere. Chunyan goes along with the trend, and Brother Keng is a nostalgic person, so he came to Rongguo Mansion. If outsiders want to see him, they can't do anything. Naturally, they can come up with any ideas.
After I came out, I have a face-loving character and can’t bear to refuse people, so that’s all I can do.”
Wang Xifeng knew Jia Zheng's temperament very accurately. If she couldn't put down her dignity, she would have no choice but to bite the bullet and suffer the consequences.
"Grandma, what about us?" Ping'er looked over and said, "Uncle Feng is back. I heard that Second Master Lian will be back at the end of this year. A year has passed in the blink of an eye. What should we do?"
Asking about the key point in one sentence also reminds Wang Xifeng to find a way out and a resettlement place as soon as possible. You cannot wait until Jia Lian comes back. If you are still here and refuse to leave, it will be even more embarrassing. Wang Xifeng cannot tolerate this situation.
falls on oneself.
With a gentle sigh, Wang Xifeng's lonely and gloomy expression was fully revealed.
Easier said than done. After living in this Rongguo Mansion for so many years, how can leaving be just a matter of time?
It involves many aspects, especially running away alone. Is it different from being kicked out with only a single person?
At least everything must be prepared.
The residence, manpower, business, and even subsequent connections must all be considered clearly. To maintain the current status and maintain the current momentum so as not to be left behind, all aspects need to be considered and prepared, and nothing is simple.
.
Building a mansion is simple, just find a suitable place and buy it, but manpower is a big problem.
Once he leaves Rongguo Mansion, apart from Ping'er, Feng'er and Sister Shan will most likely follow him. Wang Xifeng is still sure of this.
And there is Lin Hongyu.
This girl took the initiative to ask to come to her room, but she didn't expect that not long after she arrived, she stopped caring about the public account, and she didn't seem to feel any sense of loss.
Her parents are both in Rongguo Mansion, so they can see the situation clearly. Her current situation is not good, so her parents should be unwilling. But judging from the current behavior of this girl, she seems to be very close to her, so she is not willing.
If you are willing to go with me, you still need to talk twice.
This girl is also a character with a clever mind and a high vision. It probably depends on the situation and her own prospects before she can decide.
Among the male servants, it goes without saying that Wang Xin came with him from the Wang family and is nothing without him. The Jia family will not keep him. Laiwang and Laixi also came with him, so they should all follow him.
On the other hand, there was a young man from the Jia family who used to live with Jia Lian, but he did not follow Jia Lian to Yangzhou, but stayed in the house. He had some flirting with Sister Nashan, and made an appointment with him because he wanted to go with him, but in the end the result was
How, it's hard to say.
However, it is a good thing that Feng Ziying has returned to Beijing. At least Wang Xifeng will not be helpless when encountering something, and can inquire about information and seek advice at any time.
Just when Wang Xifeng was filled with sorrow, Daiyu, Tanchun and Xiangyun had returned to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and Zijuan and Xueyan also came back.
Of course, Li Wan didn't have anything to worry about, so he agreed to bring his two younger sisters to the banquet.
The kitchen was still Sister-in-law Liu, who had always taken good care of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. When she heard that Daiyu was going to treat the newly "returned" Second Grandma Keng, the original Miss Bao, she was naturally speechless.
Even Xueyan refused to accept the drop of copper coins that Xueyan thrust into them. Later, Xueyan forced them to keep it, and then reluctantly accepted it, patting her chest and saying that she would definitely prepare the best lunch meal.
Leaning on the bed, Shi Xiangyun simply took off his shoes, revealing a pair of feet wearing only silk stockings. He curled up on the bed and closed his eyes: "I didn't sleep well today. It was all because of you two."
One of them wants to toss around, one wants to treat guests, and the other wants to be in charge, but what do they care about me? I just have a mouth to make ends meet, so why bother me like this?"
"Hmph, let me see how long you can survive this life of a living?" Tan Chun said coldly: "You are also sixteen this year. Have your historians not thought about you at all?"
"Hehe, how can my second and third uncles care about me now? I went back last month, and my third aunt burst into tears when she saw me, saying that I owed a lot of debts. Now my third uncle has disappeared without a trace. I heard
Which temple are you hiding in? I'm tired of hearing it, but I still have to endure it? Don't you just want to sell those things in the house? You haven't asked for my opinion. Now you just tell me to inform me.
It's just a puppet."
Shi Xiangyun lay on his back on the kang couch somewhat inelegantly. Although there was a hint of laughter in his words, his eyes were looking at the roof with an indifferent expression, "The second uncle went to Shanxi, and the second aunt avoided meeting him. It is said that he even talked with her.
The third aunt fought a war and the whole family is like this. Where can I go? What can I do? Who can care about me? "
The age of sixteen is a hurdle for girls. Generally speaking, according to folk customs in the Zhou Dynasty, girls should be engaged between the ages of fourteen and sixteen. It is also common for girls to be engaged at the age of twelve or thirteen.
It is not uncommon to get married at the age of fourteen, but marriage is basically considered at the age of sixteen.
Talking about marriage is not just about getting engaged, but also about completing various preparations after the engagement, including various procedures and betrothal gifts, etc., and just waiting for the time to come.
But Shi Xiangyun's situation is indeed a bit rare. The second uncle went to the other side of Shanxi. Logically, the third uncle should be in charge. However, Shi Nai was a gambler and was heavily in debt, so he had no choice but to run away and hide in a temple.
Dare to show up.
Both aunts regarded Shi Xiangyun as a burden. They wanted to push Shi Xiangyun out, but they were unwilling to do their best. With the current situation of the Shi family, it was indeed difficult to find a suitable one, so they just kept doing it.
"Then you should write a letter to your second uncle and ask him to consider it." Daiyu also added: "If you keep putting it off like this, it will be difficult to find you when you turn sixteen, and your reputation will not be good.
.”
Shi Xiangyun was the legitimate daughter of the Shi family, and after all she was a martial artist, so she still had to have some reputation and face.
"I'm afraid it will be a month before my second uncle receives the letter. I'm afraid it will be years and months until he is willing to reply." Shi Xiangyun knew these people in his family, so he said casually: "How can I count on them?"
It's better to rely on myself. There are still some people who care about me here in Rongguo Mansion. If it doesn't work, I will ask my ancestors to show me a marriage. I can marry a chicken or a dog at will. I accept it. If I can't help it, I
Just follow the example of Sister Miaoyu, keep your hair and simply join a nunnery and become a aunt."
"Bullshit!" Daiyu's face sank: "Sister Miaoyu is just saying something out of anger. When will she be a lifelong aunt? You are thinking wildly all day long. Even if your historians don't care, the ancestors will always take care of it.
Yes, why are you so depressed?"
Daiyu is usually not very angry, but some of her best friends occasionally show their true temperament. When she heard about Miaoyu, Daiyu felt a little blocked, and Xiangyun was also like this.
I couldn't bear it anymore.
Xiangyun and Tanchun were both surprised. It was rare to see Daiyu get so angry and straightforward in person. In the past, this girl would usually be angry, sulky, and make sarcastic remarks, but today it was a bit rare.
Tanchun felt that Daiyu had changed a lot, especially today's situation. She seemed to be stimulated by something. Well, maybe it was the return of Sister Bao?
Tan Chun was the smartest person, and immediately caught some changes in Daiyu's mood, and deliberately tried to lighten the atmosphere: "Girl Yun was just joking, sister Lin, don't be angry, because I will be sixteen soon, wouldn't it be the same?
"
"You are different from Yun Yatou. Even if your uncle wants to go south, your aunt is still there and always cares about you. And maybe uncle and the others are inviting Brother Feng to come over tomorrow to discuss your life-long affairs.
.”
Daiyu retorted, her tone softened a lot, and she teased the other person.
Tan Chun was startled and almost jumped up from the kang couch, but she quickly realized that Lin Yatou was not talking about what Brother Huan told her, but that the master asked Brother Feng to find someone for him.
It was only about marriage matters, how could she say such things so openly.
