Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Except for her own daughter, everyone else was just dirt.

That Wang Ren, don’t tell me that you look down on Yingchun, I also look down on that kid from the Wang family.

He is already an adult, but he plays with cats and dogs all day long and does not work properly. He is not worthy of any good family, so he could not stay in Jinling and came to the capital.

However, the historian Shi Yifang has a son, but I wonder what happened to him?

Thinking of this, Jia's mother knocked the ground twice with her cane.

He said to Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, "Let's go and find the old Taoist priest and ask him to be the matchmaker."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue followed him out with joy on their faces.

……

"Good! Good, I, an old Taoist priest, can also help you find a happy marriage today." Taoist Zhang blew the beard in his hand.

Said with a smile.

"Write down the horoscopes of both parties and I will offer them to Yue Lao."

Aunt Xue and Madam Wang bowed their heads, wrote down each other's horoscopes, and handed them to Taoist Zhang.

The Taoist priest helped them make the exchange.

This matter has been tentatively decided.

Seeing the three people busy with their own things, Grandmother Jia felt no joy in her heart but only sadness.

Such a big event should be lively and bustling, and Baoyu likes liveliness the most.

Now his engagement was completed quietly in confusion.

She felt a bitter taste in her mouth and in her heart.

Thinking of this, she said to Taoist Zhang, "I am sorry to trouble you today. I think you know that our brother is sick now."

"It's better not to make the engagement public."

"When my brother recovers from his illness, I will ask my relatives to take care of the ceremony."

"I will definitely invite you to the upper seat when the time comes. Thank you very much."

Zhang Laodao naturally nodded in agreement.

The engagement between Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai was completed quietly.

During the three-day prayer event, everyone was very happy.

Except for the two parties involved in the engagement, one was in a daze and the other lied and pretended to be ignorant.

When Mrs. Wang told Jia Zheng about this, Jia Zheng frowned slightly.

How did it end up being related to monks and Taoist priests? But Mrs. Wang told him that it was the queen who approved it.

Jia Zheng had nothing to say.

The present emperor worships Buddhism and Taoism and devotes himself to the Way.

As the saying goes, the followers follow the example of the superiors, and Buddhism and Taoism also take care of matters of marriage.

Jia Zheng sighed unconsciously and looked up at the sky. He felt that there were dark clouds overhead and it was really suffocating.

……

"Hehehe..." Mrs. Xing's laughter echoed in the room.

Grandmother Jia and Lady Wang looked at the nervous Lady Xing.

I was a little annoyed. Whenever I told Mrs. Xing about anything, her reactions were always inhumane.

The two told Mrs. Xing the news that Baoyu and Baochai were engaged.

When the matchmaker was Taoist Zhang.

Mrs. Xing did not say a word of congratulations.

Instead, she laughed so hard that she fell backwards, not looking like a lady at all.

She looks just like a country woman!

hateful!

The laughter made Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang feel uncomfortable all over.

"What the hell are you doing? What do you look like?" Grandmother Jia had a stern face and tapped her cane loudly.

No matter how hard Mrs. Wang tried, her Buddhist beads would not come to life!

A woman! A wild animal! A shrew!

Mrs. Wang cursed in her heart, thinking that her good in-laws had been turned into a joke by Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing was there, covering her mouth with a handkerchief. "Excuse me! Let me calm down!"

"I'll tell you later!"

After she wiped away the tears from her eyes, she couldn't wipe away the smile from her mouth. She just kept smiling and said,

"I was wondering why a large group of people went to the Taoist temple."

"So it was to cover up your secret engagement."

"I come from a humble family, and I didn't know that the Taoist priest in this temple also does business as a matchmaker."

"Not only do they chant sutras at funerals, they also help with matchmaking."

"Do they take care of the delivery?"

These are such harsh words. Before anyone else said anything, this family said such harsh words first.

If it weren’t for Jia She’s personality, Mrs. Xing shouldn’t have been kept.

He is totally out of touch with the times and totally unreasonable.

"Didn't I explain the reason to you?"

"How many times do you want to say it?" Grandmother Jia stared at Mrs. Xing angrily.

Mrs. Xing was not to be outdone at this time. She glared at him and said, "Mother-in-law, is this an explanation?"

"Do you think I'm an idiot? I came back to tell you."

"And he asked me to find a husband for Yingchun within two or three days."

"They have decided to make me the evil stepmother." At this point, Mrs. Xing tucked her handkerchief into her sleeve.

Both hands began to tap here and there, tapping the sandalwood window.

Pointing at the calligraphy and carvings, he said,

"No matter how bad Yingchun is, she is still the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, and she grew up in luxury."

"It's only been a few months since we last met, is that okay?"

"It took three matchmakers, six engagements, and eight sedan chairs for me to marry in as a successor."

"You know a little bit about etiquette." She sneered.

"Unlike some people who claim to be ladies from noble families, who eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, but in the end, their precious son's marriage is done secretly."

"Even mice know to hold up lanterns when they get married!"

"Who are you talking about?" Mrs. Wang realized at this time that this was a veiled attack. Mrs. Xing was becoming more and more daring.

Mrs. Xing didn't care at all. "I'll talk to whoever takes the next step."

Mrs. Wang clenched the Buddhist beads in her hand tighter and tighter, and she really wanted to hit this woman.

If we didn't need someone to take the blame, we could just kill her quietly.

At this time, I heard Grandmother Jia say, "I didn't ask you to look for it."

"We'll look for it. When we find the right one, you can just go through the motions."

"This will make everyone look good."

Upon hearing this, Madam Wang's expression suddenly changed, "Where should we look for it?"

Grandmother Jia glared at her in dissatisfaction, "Your mother's home, my mother's home."

"Could it be that Mrs. Xing's family has it?"

"Don't you see how she looks? What kind of fresh-looking person can there be in her family?"

"She's got to be mean and rude. Yingchun is like that. If she meets someone mean and rude, how can she survive?"

The two of them said this without telling anyone else, but right in front of Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing didn't care. People talked a lot behind her back, but she didn't care about this in front of her.

Seeing Mrs. Xing's indifference, Jia's mother

I thought to myself, it’s all injustice!

The eldest brother's good wife from a famous family is being tortured to death.

Marrying Mrs. Xing is a failure.

He is almost as naughty and scoundrel as Jia She.

It’s really not a family, don’t enter the same door.

Mrs. Wang also glared at Mrs. Xing without saying anything, but she had already cursed her a thousand times in her heart.

My mother's home, my mother's home, how can they be compatible with Yingchun, a piece of wood?

I don’t care, let the old lady worry about it!

Mrs. Xing didn't care at all about what Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang had in mind.

She saw the two of them staring at each other and had nothing to say.

She left immediately.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Our master can't live without someone."

Grandmother Jia and Mrs. Wang looked at Mrs. Xing with gritted teeth, feeling helpless.

What should I do? Can I divorce her?

Concubines and concubines' daughters and sons are like weeds, let them grow.

As long as you don’t starve to death, it’s fine.

……

Mrs. Xing returned to her own courtyard, clenched her fists, and was filled with anger.

He walked up to Jia She and yelled at him.

"You are a great master, what else can you do besides breathing?"
