Quick Transmigration: Start killing from The Legend of Zhen Huan!

Chapter 912: Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu (75)

"Oh dear, how could I dare to make you sad?"

Jia Yingchun replied with a beaming smile, "Why don't you punch me a couple of times to vent your anger?"

Li Siqi laughed and scolded, "Don't try to coax me. If I were to hit you, I don't know who would feel sorry for me."

"Of course it's you!"

Jia Yingchun said with a charming smile, "I just don't believe that my cousin Yu'er doesn't care about me."

"How could I not feel sorry for you?"

Li Siqi replied irritably, "I found you such a good fiancé, how much more do you want me to pamper you?"

"Cousin Yu'er."

Jia Yingchun's face flushed red. "Why did you bring this up out of the blue?"

"What, can't we mention it yet?"

Li Siqi snorted, "I heard that the third young master of the Duke of Liguo's mansion can't wait to get married."

"Yes."

Jia Tanchun's smile was somewhat forced. "Our future brother-in-law is urging the Duchess of Liguo to come and present the betrothal gifts as soon as possible."

"That's enough, you're all making fun of me."

Jia Yingchun couldn't hide her joy. "My affairs are still a long way off. My parents are planning to arrange my third brother's wedding first."

"Where is the appointed day?"

Li Siqi asked a question.

Ever since Jia She received the message and portrait she sent.

The family immediately gathered together.

Then they began to analyze the situation of each company.

They also showed the person in question a portrait.

To be honest, they were quite startled when they saw the lifelike portrait.

It's just like seeing the real thing.

It has to be said that first impressions are very important.

Jia Yingchun took a fancy to Yang Jinyou, the illegitimate son of the eldest son of the Duke of Liguo's mansion.

Jia Cong took a liking to Su Nuoyun, the daughter of a merchant.

Knowing the siblings' choice, Jia She did not object.

The Liguo Mansion and the Rongguo Mansion held the same noble titles, and their situations were similar to those of the Jia family.

Yang Jinyou was an illegitimate son, while Jia Yingchun was originally an illegitimate daughter.

Neither of them should look down on the other.

Although Yang Jinyou was not favored, his birth mother was the daughter of a merchant.

At least they won't have to worry about food and drink.

Besides, he was indeed very clean, and he never allowed any maids to serve him since he was a child.

Of course, he doesn't like men; rather, he has a rather aloof personality and doesn't easily give his heart to anyone.

As for whether Jia Yingchun can win over her husband after marriage, that depends on her own abilities.

Jia Cong took a fancy to Su Nuoyun, the daughter of a merchant.

Besides her good looks, what I value most is her business acumen.

I've heard that Young Master Su is all about studying, but unfortunately, he's not very talented.

He could not pass the imperial examination and could only study hard at home.

The younger sister, Su Nuoyun, learned the ways of business from her parents.

Perhaps Jia Cong had a difficult childhood and therefore valued money highly.

In addition, Su Nuoyun is beautiful, although she has a rather strong personality.

However, she had Wang Xifeng, a sister-in-law with similar character, by her side.

Jia Cong was willing to accept this Miss Su.

After the two made their decision.

Jia She immediately threw people into action.

The other party is indeed interested in arranging a marriage with the Rongguo Mansion.

The wedding went very smoothly.

The Su family was very generous and sent a large sum of money directly.

Jia She didn't embezzle the money; instead, he used it to secure a minor seventh-rank official position as the treasurer of the Censorate.

At least he was wearing an official robe.

It also makes the wedding procession more presentable.

The Su family was even happier when they found out.

The dowry prepared for my daughter has increased considerably.

It can be said that both sides were extremely satisfied.

"Not so fast."

Jia Yingchun responded, "The earliest would be next spring."

"My cousin Cong is getting married next spring, what about you?"

Li Siqi joked, "You're not getting married next spring either, are you?"

"Who knows? It's not something I can decide."

Jia Yingchun muttered something, then added, "I can only come out to find you now."

If we actually set a wedding date, I won't be able to come out and visit you anymore.

"It's alright, you're married in the capital, it'll be easy for us to meet."

"That's true!"

The two were talking, and Jia Tanchun listened silently without saying a word.

Li Siqi naturally wouldn't ignore her, "Cousin Tanchun, I heard that your eldest cousin is about to come out of the palace?"

"Ah, yes!"

Jia Tanchun snapped back to reality, her expression slightly embarrassed. "Madam is already cleaning Eldest Sister's courtyard."

They should be back in a few days.

"Speaking of my eldest sister."

Jia Yingchun then said, "Cousin Yu'er, the old lady specifically sent word that when my eldest sister returns home, she would like you to come and join in the festivities."

"If nothing special happens, Yu'er will go."

Li Siqi did not refuse, after all, she could not sever ties with the Jia family.

Besides, she herself was somewhat curious about Jia Yuanchun.

I want to see what kind of abilities the 'Imperial Consort' in the original drama really has.

"That day should be very lively."

Jia Tanchun added, "I heard from the old lady that she will invite the Shi family's younger sister over."

And there's Bao-jie.

With Cousin Yu'er joining in, the more people there are, the more lively it will be.

"Is the 'Sister Bao' that Tan Chun is referring to Miss Xue?"

Li Siqi gently shook her head, "Wasn't it said that her brother was sentenced to exile? Why are they still in the capital?"

"What else can we do if we don't stay in the capital?"

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Jia Yingchun's eyes. "I heard they sold off all their properties in the capital."

All the silver was given to Xue Pan, hoping that he could survive in Lingnan.

I heard that the mother and daughter are planning to move back to Lixiang Courtyard.

The old lady has already agreed.

"No."

Li Siqi was genuinely surprised. "The Xue family must have quite a few properties. If they were to sell them for silver, it would definitely be a large sum of money."

Given Xue Pan's condition, if no one takes care of him, won't he become restless while traveling with so much silver?

Both Chun were stunned upon hearing this.

Clearly, they hadn't considered this issue.

"I don't know."

Jia Yingchun honestly replied, "I heard from Brother Bao that Xue Pan was unable to walk when he left."

It seems they hired someone to carry them to Lingnan.

This money must have been used to pay for their favors.

"You have such a big heart."

Li Siqi complained.

In her opinion, it would be a disservice to him to have brought silver if Xue Pan didn't die.

It's just a mystery how Xue Baochai persuaded Aunt Xue not to leave with her son, but instead to stay in the capital.

The Jia sisters spent a day playing at the Lin residence.

They didn't leave until evening.

……

A small courtyard in Beijing.

Seeing her mother in a daze, Xue Baochai felt a pang of sadness and helplessness. "Mother, don't worry."

My daughter said she would try to get her older brother back later.

"Get it back? How?"

Aunt Xue's eyes flashed with resentment, "Sending your eldest brother into exile in his current state is going to kill him."

I don't even know if I'll survive.

Not to mention bringing the person back.

Unless the emperor grants a general amnesty.

I don't even know when that happened.

Will your older brother still be alive by then?

"..."

Xue Baochai was rendered speechless by the rebuttal.

I felt angry, but also deeply helpless.

Seeing her mother's resentment, her heart ached.

"What do you suggest we do?"

The usually composed Xue Baochai was on the verge of collapse. "Are we going to Lingnan too?"

If you decide to go, okay, we'll go.

Whether we live or die depends on whether Heaven will grant the Xue family a way out.
