Volume C, Chapter 43: The importance of etiquette and the deepening of love (Update!)
Feng Ziying was also stunned. The meaning of these words was too rich. He really didn't dare to answer the words casually. He thought for a while and then said: "The old lady is right, so my nephew also hopes that more people from the mansion can come to our house."
Sit for a while, so that the two families can get closer, and the aunts can also go to my house. My mother is basically in the house, and she likes people to move around. "
"That's good." Mrs. Wang glanced at Jia's mother, then at her sister, and then said: "After this year, my aunt is going to visit the house, so that the two families can get closer."
"The mother must be very welcome." Feng Ziying speculated, looking around at the girls. The old lady seemed to have something in her words, but she was hiding something. He didn't catch it for a moment.
.
When Feng Ziying said goodbye and disappeared outside the door, almost everyone's eyes fell on him.
In addition to Feng Ziying's identity being different now, the old lady's previous words also had profound meaning, which at least made several girls, and even people closely related to several girls, couldn't help but think more about it.
Could it be that the old lady also has some ideas, but who will she think about? Er Yatou, Third Yatou or Yun Yatou? Or Daiyu? But it will definitely not be Baochai. Because of this, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue are a little bit confused.
Be busy.
The possibility of the second and third girls is very low. It is difficult for this concubine to gain the approval of the Feng family, but what about Yun Yatou and Daiyu? If the old lady has this intention and asks Jia She and Jia Zheng to come forward to make peace, then
Big trouble.
There has been no reply from the Feng family yet, but if you see two other options proposed, will you have other thoughts?
Just when Daiyu returned to her courtyard, she saw the sneaky expression of Zijuan.
Daiyu knew her girl's temperament well. It was rare to see such a mixture of joy, surprise and caution. As soon as Daiyu entered the door, she was pulled in by Zicuckoo.
"Damn girl, why are you so sneaky? You don't have a place for people to see you, so you think there is something shameful." Daiyu pretended to have a straight face and said angrily.
"Girl, come and see, it's hard to say whether you can see anyone here." Zicuckoo smiled mysteriously, carefully closed the door, and then opened a soft and large cloth bag.
"What is this?" Daiyu was surprised.
I saw the green cloth bag opened, and a beautiful snow-white fox fur was revealed. Zicuckoo put it on Daiyu, and then tied a red ribbon around her neck, showing her beautiful and charming appearance.
It is even more dazzling against the white fox fur that can almost cover the whole body.
Daiyu was also surprised. This kind of white fox fur is not simple. It is as pure white as snow, with fine and slender fur. You can tell at a glance that it is the first-class fur. When you touch it carefully, there are no gaps in each piece of fox fur.
It is obviously the work of a famous artist, and there is almost no stray hair on this white fox. Just one fox fur is probably very expensive. This fox fur requires at least seven or eight furs. Where did this girl Zicuckoo get it?
Want one like this?
Seeing Daiyu's face full of surprise and uncertainty, Zijuan even smiled slightly, "Do you know who sent me this fox fur?"
Daiyu first thought that it was her father who sent it, but then she thought it was impossible. If her father really wanted to send something, he would definitely come with the letter. However, she only received the letter a few days ago and did not mention it. Obviously
impossible.
It's impossible for the two uncles. Even my aunt doesn't have many such luxury items, and the appearance and size are almost made to match my own body.
Could it be my grandmother? But if it were my grandmother, why would there be such a mystery as Zicuckoo?
Seeing Daiyu's confused face, Zijuan finally solved the mystery: "This was just sent by Jin Chuan'er. Uncle Feng specially arranged for her to send it. Jin Chuan'er said that Uncle Feng specially sent it to their house.
I selected a few white fox skins from the fox skins and sent them to Zhao Qianji Clothing Shop in Nanxunfang to make them specially for you. No wonder Jin Chuaner came to ask the slave girl about her body size some time ago.
, the servant also asked why, it turned out that he was making clothes for the girl, I wonder if it is considered as a betrothal gift?"
The first few words were nothing, and Daiyu just pursed her lips and smiled, but the last sentence suddenly made Daiyu very embarrassed, and she tried to tear Zijuan's mouth off, but Zijuan smiled and dodged it: "Ms.
Forgive me, slave. I just told you in advance. This piece of fox fur is probably worth hundreds of taels of silver, right? Uncle Feng specially customized such a piece for the girl. It shows that the uncle has feelings for the girl, but he doesn’t know what he is.
The most important thing is that I can propose marriage to the master when the time comes..."
This sentence made Daiyu, who was originally shy and full of surprises, frown again.
In a blink of an eye, he was twelve or thirteen years old. Today, an ancestor also said those words in the room. I don’t know who the ancestor said these words to or who he was referring to, but Dai
Yu felt that her ancestors were not necessarily talking about her. Her father should be the one to decide on her marriage, and her uncle and aunt were not getting along enough to worry about her marriage.
The second sister and Tan Yatou are also unlikely. Although Daiyu is young, she also knows that the distinction between direct and concubine is still very important in marrying a wife in a wealthy family. Then only herself, Sister Bao, Yun Yatou and Xichun are left.
.
The possibility of Xichun is unlikely. Our ancestors like her, but it is impossible for her to take the decision for Ningguo Mansion. It is impossible for Sister Bao, not because the Jia family doesn't talk about it, and Sister Bao's mother and brother are still there, so it is not the ancestor's turn to worry about it.
.
The only ones left were myself and Girl Yun. If I were to be excluded again, it would be obvious who it was.
Daiyu still likes Yun Yatou very much. She is cheerful and generous. If she has anything to say, even if she is unhappy for a moment, she can quickly put it aside. But other things are easy to talk about, but when it comes to this, it is really difficult to talk about it.
It's just that when it comes to proposing marriage, it's the man who takes the lead. My father is in Yangzhou, thousands of miles away. If he wants to propose marriage, I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble.
Seeing Daiyu frowning, Zijuan pursed her lips, "When Jin Chuan'er came today, the maid took her and talked for a while. She seems to be very proud in front of the uncle, but she is also cautious.
Just like in front of the madam, the rest of the sentence was unclear. The maid asked her if the fox fur had ever been given to anyone else, but she said that the white fox fur was so easy to find. Even the whole family could only get it together.
With such a thing, even Feng Mansion’s wife and concubines don’t have one…”
When Daiyu heard this, she felt a little uneasy and said, "Then let's send it back."
"My maid thinks so too, but Jin Chuan'er also said that this is the uncle's intention, and it is naturally arranged. I wonder if it is not the wife in the Feng Mansion, but also the aunt and wife who know it?" Zijuan tilted her head.
smiled.
Daiyu's heart became more and more anxious and shy, her bright eyes flickered, and a blush flashed across her pink cheeks. The charm was so charming that Zicuckoo couldn't help but be moved by it. If the girl followed Uncle Feng, she would be with Uncle Feng for the rest of her life.
of blessing.
Slowly lowering her head, running her fingers over the soft and smooth fur, Daiyu thought, if even the wife in Feng's house knew about it, then this would be really inappropriate, but Brother Feng's temperament has always been strong, so I'm afraid
Even in the mansion, she is not allowed to be around, so I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate to send her back.
It's just that I have never liked such things. I long for the heart and affection represented by this thing. I wonder if Brother Feng knows?
For a moment, Daiyu was thinking crazy.

"There is no need for mother to be so upset." When Baochai accompanied her mother back to Lixiangyuan, it was already a little late.
"Humph, I think the old lady is a little confused." Aunt Xue was extremely annoyed and spoke arrogantly. "When these words were said at that time, do you really think that everyone can't understand them? The historians are better than our Xue family.
How good is it? Girl Yun is a very nice person, but her parents are gone, and those two uncles have a bad reputation. How can the Feng family accept this kind of family? I really thought it was in Jinling?"
"Mother!" Baochai couldn't help but raise her voice a bit, but her eyes suppressed the depression in her heart: "Why do you need to say such words? It's up to her to say what our ancestors want to say. It's not easy for Sister Yun now.
The ancestors should show some mercy..."
"Huh, my son, you are such a kind-hearted person. The old lady is very aware that our Xue family has prejudices against you, and she also treats you the same way. Why has she ever cared about our faces? It was your aunt who kept us, otherwise my mother would have been there long ago.
We want to move back to our own place."
Of course Baochai knew that her mother was speaking out of anger. The Xue family did have a house over there, but it had not been renovated at all. Secondly, the location was not very good. If the Xue family really moved there, they would not be able to interact with each other.
With fewer people, the Xue family may become even more bleak.
From Jinling to the Capital City, the Xue family had already felt the huge contrast between hot and cold. They were prominent in Jinling for a while, but when they arrived in the Capital City, they were as insignificant as a crucian carp crossing the river. If it weren't for the Jia family,
A little bit of help, just relying on some money at home, is really going to be in a situation where no one cares about it.
"Mom, my aunt is naturally good to us, but after all, this is the Jia family, and our ancestors also need to consider her own family. Our Xue family and Jia family are two families after all."
It would be a lie if Xue Baochai said that he had no emotions in his heart. Especially when Jia Mu was interested in Xiangyun, she was really shocked.
She was already a little worried about Daiyu. If Xiangyun showed up first, it would be really chaotic.
Baochai knew very well that the Xue family background had detracted a lot of points for herself. If Brother Feng didn't seem to care much about it, Brother Feng wouldn't have said those words that day. Even so, Baochai felt sad at this time.
Same bottom line.
Brother Feng didn't say anything clearly. He only asked himself to wait for two years. The problem is that after two years, he will be seventeen years old. Seventeen is a bit old at this age. It would be fine if he gave himself a clear promise. The problem is
