After the red building was reborn as Daiyu's brother

Since that day, Xianshu sent people to inquire for several days, and finally found out the person Duanzi really liked, and it was none other than the second son of Qi Guogong, the younger brother of their classmate Kuangzhi - Kuangzheng.

Kuang Zheng is the concubine son of the Duke of Qi, although he is not very old, he has a flamboyant face and can speak well. Because of this face and eloquence, he is well-known in the aristocratic circle of the capital.

It's just that Duke Qi's descendants are flourishing. In addition to the eldest son Kuangzheng, there are two legitimate sons, one legitimate daughter, and the total number of children born to concubines and concubines in each house is nearly ten!

Moreover, Qi Guogong is rigid, and he is very fond of the dignity of his descendants.Kuang is neither a direct wife nor an eldest son, and his mother is not considered favored in the Duke of Qi's mansion, so his status in the Duke of Qi's mansion can be imagined.

Because of this, Kuangzheng desperately wanted to climb up the ladder, but he was still up to the mark. This year, he won a Juren. Although he was not comparable to his eldest brother, he was qualified to be an official.

Duan Zizhen was so sad when he learned that the person he liked received cold treatment at home.

As a result, brocades, fan crowns, and jade pendants seemed to be sent towards Duke Qi's mansion.

At first they thought it was for Kuang Zhi, after all he was a classmate with Kuang Zhi, and Kuang Zhi also thought that Duan Zi had something to ask him.

In the end, I found out later that it was for my second brother. Although the joke really didn’t mean to name it, Kuang Zhi vaguely guessed it, so he declined the gift of the joke for Kuang Zheng.

Later, when Kuangzheng learned about this incident, he blamed his elder brother very much in his heart. If he got on the line of the prince of Xining County, if he didn't say anything else, at least he would speak a little bit harder in the officialdom!

Didn't the son of the Lin family also befriend Prince Zhongshun, so he won the favor of His Majesty and Queen Mother?He can, why can't he?

Kuang Zheng felt that his elder brother didn't want him to be friendly with the nobles, and he was afraid that he would go over him in the future.

So, Kuang Zheng began to secretly communicate with Duan Zizhen without telling his father and elder brother, or everyone in the Duke of Qi's mansion.

Duanzi really saw that the bait he threw was reaped again, and he became more interested in playing!The two of them come and go, it's really good!

It's just that since they got married, Duan Zizhen treated Kuangzheng the same way, not much different from how he treated his concubine Ji in his mansion. When he was interested, he would have a good time with him, and when he lost his interest, he would never see him again.

However, the attention of Lin Langyu, Wenquxing and others was completely occupied by the concubine Yuan's family visit.

All the people in Jia's mansion were mobilized, and such a large garden was built within a few months.

The flowers, plants, trees, rockery streams, and bird pavilions in the garden are beautifully built, just like a fairyland!

Concubine Yuan is a noble concubine, and Jia's mansion is the mansion of the Duke. Although the current emperor advocates frugality, the concubine's villa must not be too shabby, otherwise it will lose the status of the concubine and the Duke's mansion.

It’s just that, not to mention the money spent on building the garden, it’s worth tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy the birds, curtains, silk tapestry, tables, chairs and benches, cups and tea sets, and the pavilions and boats on the lake.

For such a large garden, new people have to be filled in to take care of the flowers and plants. The original people in the two prefectures have their own jobs and cannot be moved, so they have to buy people.

For such a big event, Youling's musical instruments are indispensable!The theater troupe usually invited is too shabby, and it is just a matter of buying a small theater troupe by yourself.

But just buying these twelve actors and musical instruments cost more than 3 taels of silver.

What lanterns and candles, porcelain vases and bonsai, the network of cars and sedans, plus the cost of building this garden, it cost at least a million taels of silver.

Even though the Jia family is so prosperous, it is still difficult for them to pay so much money all of a sudden.

So they borrowed a large sum of money from the Lin family, but Lin Langyu is not very clear about the exact amount.

However, according to Jiamu and his mother's tone, it means that after the province is completed, Jiamu will tell Concubine Yuan to let herself, Wenquxing, Daiyu and other brothers and sisters move in.

In this way, it is almost equivalent to giving the garden to his family, which should be a lot of money.

Later Wen Quxing told him that the money used to build the Grand View Garden should also belong to the Lin family, but at that time Daiyu was alone, so the Jia family had to take the money.

This is why Daiyu's treatment in Jia's mansion is better than that of Tanchun sisters, and the master of Jia's family doesn't complain.One is that there is a relationship with Jia's mother, and the other is that Daiyu actually uses her own money from the beginning to the end.

But now it is even more different. Not only did Daiyu use her own money from the beginning to the end, but the Jia family also owed her family money.

Today's Daiyu is no longer a relative taken in by the Jia family, but a distinguished guest of the Jia family, and everyone in the Jia family treats her respectfully.

Because of busy preparations for family visits, this year in Jia's mansion has been dull and muddled.

Spring began in a blink of an eye, seeing that the day of visiting relatives was getting closer and closer, and people in Jia's mansion were getting busier, especially Xifeng, who wished to break herself into three people for use.

This day, she went on and on all morning, ready to make a hasty lunch and take a break before continuing to work, but she was told that Aunt Lin had something urgent to call her and asked her to go to their garden for lunch.

In this way, Mrs. Wang could only say: "I'll take care of the work first, go and see what's up with Aunt Lin? If it's important, just come back after finishing it. If it's not important, just ignore it."

Xifeng responded, then got into the car and came towards the courtyard of Lin Ruhai and his wife.

At that time, Lin Ruhai went out to socialize and was not at home. Daiyu was brought by Jia Mu for dinner, so Lin Langyu and Wen Quxing accompanied Jia Min for lunch.

In the past, Jia Min always liked her nephew and daughter-in-law who was straightforward and unaffected, and Xifeng also liked her aunt very much.

Now that the two families have lived together for so long, the two of them have a close relationship, and they don't talk about seniority in private, it's like the handkerchief acquaintance of two boudoirs.

As soon as Xifeng stepped into the garden, a group of little girls embraced her enthusiastically: "Second Grandma Lian, you are here, our wife has been looking forward to you for a long time."

Xifeng followed them into the house with a smile on her face, and as soon as she entered the house, she saw a table of sumptuous food and wine.

Lin Langyu and Wen Quxing greeted her: "Sister Feng!"

Jia Min looked at her with a smile on her face: "It's almost here, sit down!"

Xifeng sat down under Jia Min, and asked curiously, "What day is it today? Why invite me to drink alone?"

At this time, a little girl came up to pour wine for Xifeng, Xifeng hurriedly shied away: "No, no! I have to go there after I finish my work, and I can't leave there!"

"Langyu, pour it for your sister Feng yourself!" Jia Min said.

Lin Langyu lifted the jug and poured Wang Xifeng a cup, but Xifeng couldn't resist, so she had to say, "Just this cup!"

Seeing this, Jia Min was satisfied, she said: "There is nothing wrong with you, but seeing how busy you have been recently, you have lost a lot of weight, so I let you relax."

Hearing this, Xifeng laughed and said, "Aunt Emotion is really looking for peace for me!"

"Isn't it?" Jia Min replied with a smile, "Move your chopsticks quickly! You must be hungry."

As soon as Jia Min finished speaking, several people moved their chopsticks one after another. Lin Langyu stared at the eight-treasure duck for a long time.

He loves this dish very much, but because of his poor stomach, Jia Min never allows him to eat more, and rarely asks him to cook it on weekdays. Today, it can be regarded as delaying Sister Feng's blessing!

After they had eaten, Xifeng was about to leave. Jia Min grabbed her and said, "No matter what, you have to eat tea before leaving! The rules of our Lin family are that we can only have tea after a quarter of an hour after dinner. Take care of yourself." Sit."

"No way, Auntie. I'm still waiting at the other end!"

"It's only half an hour at most, you should take a rest, is it possible that your mother-in-law is still a display?"

Xifeng thought for a moment, then stayed.

Wang Xifeng joked with Lin Langyu and Wen Quxing for a while, and then a girl brought tea.

Wang Xifeng took the tea, took a sip, and said to Jia Min, "After eating this cup of tea, I really have to go."

"Success." Jia Min lifted the tea cover, blew on the noodles and said, "After eating this cup of tea, I won't keep you."

After finishing speaking, she took a sip of tea, put the teacup on the table, and said, "You! When will you learn to be lazy?"

Hearing this, Xifeng hooked the corners of her mouth, sighed, and said, "I want to be lazy and stay quiet, but I don't have such a good fortune as my aunt! My aunt is also clear about the situation in our house, but there is something that I don't understand." , I should understand this after watching it coldly for half a year."

As she said that, she moved closer to Jia Min and lowered her voice a little: "Is there a quiet place in our house? Is sister-in-law Zhu quiet? There is no room for words in Qingjing, even if there is an eldest grandson."

Lin Langyu and Wen Quxing looked at each other, and it was Li Wan that sister-in-law Zhu was talking about.

Speaking of which, Xifeng was right.Li Wan was the eldest daughter-in-law and had raised an eldest grandson, but she still couldn't speak much in this Jia's mansion, so she could only help her sister-in-laws to learn female red and needlework all day long.

Hearing this, Jia Min clicked his tongue: "Not to mention that she is more ignorant than you in dealing with people. Just say that her natal family is not as prosperous as your natal family, and besides, her husband left early, what can she do?"

"Can you be the same as her? You are a shrewd and capable person, the relationship between husband and wife is harmonious, and your mother's family is behind you, so what if you let go of your hand a little?"

"Besides, it's a good thing for you to rule the family strictly with the power of thunder, but the people below will inevitably complain. If things go on like this, it will be bad for you." Jia Min persuaded while pushing Hazel.

As she spoke, she gave half of the allocated hazelnuts to Xifeng, and reminded: "Although you are young now, you have to take care of it. Otherwise, your relationship with your mother-in-law is not good, and the chain is not good. He's a stealer. In a few years, if you can't raise a boy, you just wait for the same group of aunts to compete in the ring!"

These words were pierced into Xifeng's heart, the smile on the corner of her mouth gradually faded, and after a while, she was a little confused: "The women's thing here...is not what I want to have."
