Chapter 898: Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu (61)

"So that's it."

Li Siqi finally understood why the women of the Jia family had trapped themselves in the Rongguo Mansion.

It seems that Miss Jia, in particular, was only entitled to go out when she got married.

Of course, visiting Ningguo Mansion doesn't count.

“Yu’er, your uncle is right.”

Madam Xing added, "I come from a humble family and don't know how to associate with women from prominent families in the capital."

Your maternal grandmother would never take me out for social events.

As for your second aunt, she's probably afraid of dealing with women from those prominent families.

After all, she was only the second wife.

Although she holds power in the Rongguo Mansion, she cannot represent the Rongguo Mansion when she goes out.

It can be said that apart from your maternal grandmother, who could represent the women of the Rongguo Mansion, no one else was qualified to do so.

I, as the wife of a first-class general, do not have that ability.

Your second maternal aunt was only the wife of a fifth-rank official.

Even if you go out, no one may pay attention to you.

Your maternal grandmother was well aware of this as well.

Naturally, they wouldn't arrange for us to attend various banquets.

This, in a way, hindered Cong'er and Yingchun's marriage.

"I understand why my uncle and aunt have come."

Li Siqi felt a little amused and exasperated. "But regarding the marriage of Cousin Cong and Cousin Yingchun..."

Shouldn't you, my uncle and aunt, be looking for a suitable person?

"I can not!"

Madam Xing immediately shook her head, "I don't take the ladies and young ladies of the capital seriously."

I don't know anything about any of them.

Yu'er, you often attend banquets now.

I hope you will pay more attention to this.

Find them, brother and sister, a good family.

"Uncle, you're in the Ministry of Revenue now."

Li Siqi then asked, "Don't your colleagues have suitable candidates at home?"

"I've paid attention to a few families."

Jia She responded, "It's not ideal."

By attending various banquets these days, you're sure to learn more about different people.

If you find a suitable person, please let us know.

After your father and mother arrive in the capital.

"I'd like to trouble them again to help me make the connection."

“If it’s just about helping to gather information, Yu’er would definitely be happy to do it.”

Li Siqi nodded with a smile, "As for whether it's suitable or not, that will be decided by my uncle and aunt."

"Of course!"

"Will do!"

Jia She and Madam Xing responded one after the other.

Li Siqi invited the family to stay for lunch.

At the same time, he also took the opportunity to observe Jia Cong.

Now both he and Jia Yingchun are registered under Madam Xing's name.

Although children born out of wedlock can now be considered legitimate children.

This situation is not unique to the Rongguo Mansion; other prominent families also register their illegitimate sons and daughters under the name of the principal wife.

Everyone knows the situation.

However, in terms of status, they still cannot be compared with true legitimate children.

However, it is still a higher position than that of a child born out of wedlock.

Such marriages involving illegitimate children and legitimate heirs also require careful consideration.

If one were to marry into a high-ranking family, it was generally customary to marry a concubine's daughter.

If one marries a woman of lower social standing, then one can choose a daughter born of the principal wife.

These are all considered default rules.

Jia She and Madam Xing left with Jia Cong.

Jia Yingchun stayed for a while.

It felt like a dream to her. "Cousin Yu'er, I never thought I'd be able to spend time with you again."

Li Siqi replied with a smile, "If Cousin Yingchun doesn't mind that Yu'er's place is boring, she can stay for a few more days without any problem."

"I would be happy to live with you."

Jia Yingchun's smile faded. "I'm afraid this will cause you trouble."

"trouble?"

Li Siqi raised an eyebrow. "What trouble could there be?"

If Tan Chun and Xi Chun come, Yu'er will welcome them too.

"I'm afraid it's not just them."

Jia Yingchun snorted lightly, "Perhaps Sister Bao will come along too."

She's a woman, so it's not a big deal.

What I fear most is that my second brother will also make a fuss and want to come looking for you.

“Even if he comes, Yu’er will not see him.”

Li Siqi responded calmly, "There are no elders or brothers at home."

Even when Cousin Baoyu arrived, no one was there to entertain him.

So we won't let him in.

"That's true."

Jia Yingchun finally remembered the strict rules of the Lin family mansion.

Given her personality, it's not surprising that she doesn't meet with men outside the marriage.

"Just now, my cousin Yingchun mentioned Bao-jie."

Li Siqi deliberately left it open, "Is she the daughter of a royal merchant who is staying at the Rongguo Mansion?"

It seems that even the imperial merchants weren't part of their lineage.

Now she can only be considered a young lady from a wealthy family.

“What my cousin Yu’er said is not wrong.”

Jia Yingchun thought for a moment and nodded in response, "Aunt Xue is Second Aunt's younger sister."

Baoqin is her second aunt's niece.

Her brother, Xue Pan, also attended our family's school.

Therefore, the mother and her two children all stayed in our Rongguo Mansion.

"He comes from a royal merchant family, so he must have a lot of money on him."

Li Siqi smiled slightly, "They should also have their own courtyards in the capital."

Did Cousin Yingchun ever consider that the Xue family insisted on staying in the Rongguo Mansion?

Even if you are staying away from home, you are still living under someone else's roof.

Nothing is as comfortable as living at home.

Why do you think they made that choice?

"Well, I really hadn't thought of that."

Jia Yingchun paused for a moment, then shook her head. "I think it's because they feel it's more lively when everyone lives together."

"..."

Upon hearing this explanation, Li Siqi was speechless.

"Cousin Yu'er, did I...did I misspoke?"

Jia Yingchun felt uneasy under her gaze. "Even if the Xue family has any plans, it has nothing to do with us."

Besides, Baochai is a really nice person.

Staying at the Rongguo Mansion means we have one more companion.

"But what then?"

Li Siqi couldn't believe she was so innocent and adorable.

She still stared at her with sharp eyes, "Yu'er doesn't believe that you, Cousin Yingchun, can't find out anything."

"..."

Meeting her resolute gaze, Jia Yingchun opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"It seems Yu'er was right."

Li Siqi chuckled softly, "Cousin Yingchun, do you all like her very much?"

Are you also willing to listen to her opinion?

"That seems to be the case?"

"Then think about it, what should this be called?"

"what is it call?"

"Can't you think of it?"

Li Siqi winked at her, "The cuckoo has taken over the magpie's nest."

Did you think of that word?

You are clearly the young ladies of the Jia family.

She, an outsider, has managed to keep you all under her thumb. Isn't that like a cuckoo taking over someone else's nest?

"Cousin Yu'er..."

Jia Yingchun murmured, "She went to the capital to participate in the selection of a princess's maid."

"Oh, so did she go?"

Li Siqi raised her eyebrows. "Is it after moving into the Rongguo Mansion?"

She didn't sign up?

"It seems so."

Even the most naive person would realize something was wrong.

Jia Yingchun looked puzzled. "Right, why didn't she sign up for the selection?"

Have they been living in our Jia family's house all this time?

Does she really want to be our Jia family's young lady?

"Cousin Yingchun, can't you really figure this out?"

Li Siqi couldn't help but chuckle, "But it's definitely impossible for her to want to be the Jia family's daughter."

Think again about what she did.

You should be able to find the answer.
