[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

"Mother, you are in such a hurry to marry off your daughter. The daughter still wants to stay with you and dad for two more years. Besides, the respected son of the family may have already appointed the imperial concubine. If you make such a move, the daughter will not agree." Daiyu Deliberately showing the posture of a little girl, trying to prevent the old mother from messing up the mandarin ducks.

"If the eldest son of Nanjiang has never been married, Yu'er, what do you think of this person?" He didn't directly refuse to say that he didn't like him, but instead focused on whether he was married. Even if it doesn't mean much now, he still doesn't dislike this person.Jiang Yingrong simply asked directly. After all, her own daughter is not like ordinary ladies in the boudoir who are prone to shyness and shyness in the face of marriage, and no one else is present.

"Mother, the status of the eldest son of Nanjiang is precious, not to mention the mountains and rivers in Nanjiang are far away, my daughter can't bear to be so far away from you and father, and there are brothers." I'm sorry about the marriage, so I answered generously.

"Of course my mother is also reluctant to let you marry far away. If he is willing to stay in the capital for you, you are willing to consider him." unwilling to consider.After all, judging from the results of the 738 investigation, apart from the restriction of status, this son of Southern Xinjiang has the best comprehensive conditions, and his desire to marry is also the most sincere.

There are quite a few people in the capital who come to ask for marriage. Those who are not suitable are excluded, and the rest are more or less cautious.Be careful not to mention it for the time being, the most important thing is that there will be a risk of taking concubines in the future, this kind of thing a man really wants to do, and if he can't prevent it once, he can't stop the second time.This is also the key to Nangong Yan's ability to stand out from the crowd. The whole country is monogamous from top to bottom, which has to be exciting.

"Mother, the heir of a country, how can the relationship between a son and a daughter grow to such an extent, you should choose a son-in-law from someone in the capital." Daiyu felt it was funny, but she knew how transparent and exquisite her mother's thoughts were. Asking such an unrealistic question, Daiyu only thought it was because her mother's first impression of this Southern Xinjiang son was too good.

"Mother is just asking casually. In the past, when I asked you which type you like, you always changed the subject and didn't have an accurate answer. I will ask you this time because I think we can meet in Yuelao Temple. I want to see which type you like, so that your father won't turn gray with worry, but mother and father wish you could stay by our side forever." Jiang Yingrong tapped Daiyu's forehead, not going to ask further questions.If you really don't want to marry, then don't marry. After all, she still has to stay in this world for a long time. At worst, she can change her mind. The remaining time is enough for her to pave the way.

Daiyu felt a little ashamed when she heard this. The family has been worrying about her marriage these days, and she is always so carefree. After all, she is still her parents. A good match for my daughter, if my mother likes such a son-in-law, I will compare him to find a similar one, and my daughter thinks it is okay, people don’t have to be very smart, it’s fun to stay a little bit.” Daiyu thought of this man’s dumbfounded appearance , so she couldn't help but want to tease her, and for a while, she felt that idiots have the beauty of idiots.

If Nangong Yan, who has always wanted to behave well, knows that he has been labeled a "idiot" in Daiyu's eyes, he doesn't know how he feels.

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yingrong, who had already given up, raised her thoughts again, and she somewhat understood.The 738 on the side was anxious: "Xiao Rong'er, sister Lin, what does this mean? I have been painted around the lake. Should I consider this or not?"

"Don't worry now. We've done almost all of what needs to be done. I think the rest is left to God to decide. You must know that sometimes the word fate is the most wonderful. If Daiyu is really willing later, let's intervene. This Go do what you want later, I will call you again if I need it." Jiang Yingrong sent 738 away.

It took only a cup of tea, but someone came to invite the two to move to the front hall, saying that the son of the southern border had finished offering incense and left.It was true to leave, but Nangong Yan took people to the back mountain that the old Taoist priest said, using the excuse that it was too early to enjoy the scenery before turning back.You don't need to guess to know what he is up to, just to see if you can find another opportunity to meet again.

The main purpose of this trip has been achieved, and the incense has also entered, so the mother and daughter did not stay too long, and went back home directly.Nangong Yan, who was always paying attention to the movement over there, also pretended to be enjoying the scenery just by chance, and fell far behind and went back to the city together.

Nangong Yan was quite measured, keeping a distance all the time, not only let the Lin family know that he was following, but also didn't make people feel that being too close for nothing would cause boredom.It looked like a guard from afar, although the Lin family's entourage was safe enough.

On the second day, the Lin family received a gift from Nangong Yan, saying that it was an apology for disturbing Mrs. Lin's pilgrimage the day before.There are a total of ten large boxes, all of which were specially brought from southern Xinjiang. Although they were not given to Daiyu by name, most of them were used by young girls, whether it was jewelry, decorations, clothing materials, or incense. , that thought is self-evident.

Ordinarily, this gift should not be accepted. After all, Nanjiang and Daqi belong to two opposing parties. If they accept it, it will inevitably be used by interested people to spread gossip about the close relationship between the Lin family and Nanjiang.But seeing that most of the presents were prepared for Daiyu, Jiang Yingrong didn't sternly refuse.But it was too late to refuse, the servant put down the box and handed over the gift list, explained the reason and ran away, as if worried that the Lin family would not accept it, so that the housekeeper had no time to ask for instructions.

In the evening, Jiang Yingrong explained to Lin Ruhai that the eldest son of Nanjiang had sent Guigui as an apology, and also told about the "chance encounter" in Yuelao Temple.After hearing this, Lin Ruhai only said that he would accept the gift and report it to the emperor tomorrow so as not to be taken advantage of by others.As long as the emperor is not suspicious, maybe he can be happy, after all, it is Nanjiang who is bleeding.

And based on these years of experience, Lin Ruhai had already vaguely felt that the emperor had an extraordinary trust in the Lin family, and no one else could provoke him.He didn't know why, but it was something that was beneficial to the Lin family, and Lin Ruhai was naturally happy to see it succeed.Therefore, regarding the matter of accepting the gift from the son of Nanjiang, if someone else said that he would be trembling, he could accept it as if it was really just a so-called apology.You can also discuss with the emperor whether the prince of Nanjiang wants to get something from him, and make preparations in advance.

So Jiang Yingrong left two boxes and distributed them to several daughters-in-law, and the rest were moved into Daiyu's yard.

"Which family gave this as a gift? Why did you send so many?" Daiyu looked at the big box that almost took up half of the yard, and couldn't help but feel a black line.I don't know how many gifts I have received since I was born. The courtyard I live in is the largest courtyard in addition to the main courtyard. Now the library has been stuffed to the brim, and there is really no extra space to put these.

"Miss Hui, this is an apology from the son of Nanjiang. My wife said that it is something that young people like, so she ordered my servant to bring it to you." The lady in charge of the main room replied.

"That's too much, I'll pick one or two, and send the rest to the sisters-in-law." Daiyu didn't think much about it, she just felt that she was worthy of being a royal son, and the gift list in her hand was really expensive for such a large amount of compensation.

"The wives of the grandmas have already sent them away, and these are all for the young lady." Seeing that the boxes were all placed, the lady in charge led her back in time, leaving behind Daiyu and all the waiters with big eyes and small eyes .

I have no choice but to clean up.At the beginning, I only thought the gift was expensive, but when I actually packed up the boxes and moved them out one by one, I gradually realized that this gift was prepared with care, not like an apology, but like a special gift.

I don't know if they brought all the useful, fun, and beautiful things from Southern Xinjiang. Every box is packed full according to the type, leaving no gaps.Beautiful fabrics, ingenious gadgets, exquisite ornaments, distinctive jewelry, and various earthenware...there are so many things to see, which makes the maids who are worried about so many boxes at the beginning become more excited as they tidy up.Being able to see so many things that are not available in all of them at once can't make the girls who spend all day in the deep house compound happy.

Everyone happily picked up things, this one got a fan, that one got a hairpin... In short, everyone was lucky enough to get something they liked, and the yard was full of laughter and excitement.

Except for Shurui, when others looked at the items they took out, they were either curious or amazed, and Dushurui became more and more angry the more they looked at it.That son of Southern Xinjiang definitely has bad intentions, he must be coveting his young lady's beauty, so he sent so many things.What kind of son of the southern border, when he saw the lady, he was still the same as those disciples, he looked straight at him, just like the old ugly poor in the bamboo forest.

No, I must remind the lady in advance, not to let the lady fall into the trap of the apprentice.However, Shurui, Shurui, I don't know that your reminder is indeed a reminder. As for what exactly you reminded, it's hard to say.

"Miss, this son of Nanjiang definitely has bad intentions, you have to be careful." Shurui didn't care if he killed Jing Jing, for fear that his young lady would be taken to Nanjiang if he was a step too late.

"Sister Shurui said so, and this servant also feels that the prince of Nanjiang has taken a fancy to our young lady. The prince matches the princess, a man with a talent and a beautiful appearance, and this servant thinks it is a good match. But the southern border is too far away." Followed that day The fragrant Zhixia answered the conversation with a smile while hugging the fabric she just got.

"Zhixia, I bought you with just a piece of fabric, and even helped that poor son in southern Xinjiang to speak. He looks at the young lady with a straight look in his eyes. It's so annoying." Shurui couldn't help but be angry.

"Sister Shurui, as the saying goes, a man should be married when he is a college student, and a girl should be married when he is a college student. It is normal for a man to lose his mind when he sees our lady's appearance. You can't completely deny her just because of a look. Besides, I heard that in southern Xinjiang, men can only Marrying a regular wife is not much better than many sons and gentlemen in our capital. Also, this cloth was rewarded by the lady, and I should thank the lady. , Shurui pouted and snorted, but finally did not refute.

This back and forth only took a while, and when Daiyu noticed that there was a bit of gunpowder in the room between the two, she came forward to mediate and said: "Okay, you housekeepers, I know it's all for my sake, Shurui must be I thought I didn’t reward her enough, so I took these two bolts of satin to cut two new clothes, and there was no one else around.” As soon as these words came out, all the maids in the room laughed, and the atmosphere returned to the lively atmosphere just now.

There is a saying that the speaker has no intention, but the listener does. Daiyu watched the maids continue to arrange the gifts with great interest, but her thoughts could not help but drift away. Could it be that these gifts were specially given by that idiot?
