The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

Chapter 256

After both parties agreed, Jiang chose a good day and went to Li's house to exchange the two people's invitations, and then presented a pair of lotus jade bracelets as a betrothal gift for engagement. It can only be carried out after Lin Chang has finished keeping his filial piety.

As soon as Yang Shi entered the door, she saw Li Ruoxi sitting by the window, wondering what she was thinking.Yang Shi sighed, she also knew that Li Ruoxi's heart was very complicated now, and it was a bit wronged to marry a 37-year-old man.But thinking of his little granddaughter, he still made up his mind, walked in with a natural smile on his face, "Why is Xi'er sitting here, be careful and catch a cold!"

Li Ruoxi didn't hide the busyness of the family these days, so she already knew that she and Lin Chang's marriage was settled, and she felt a little at a loss.It's not that she doesn't want to marry, just ask which girl is not pregnant, but she understands that it is difficult to marry well.She even knew that if she hadn't married after the age of 22, even if her grandfather and father felt sorry for her, she would have to take the exam for a medical girl!

How could I have imagined that in just a few days, the eldest aunt made a marriage deal for herself!She is no longer a [-]-year-old girl, and has passed the age of Huaichun. Although she has never met Lin Chang, since she asked her grandfather to marry her, she is not bad in character.For her now, finding someone with good character is already considered good!

Moreover, although Lin Chang is a bit older, his family background and official position are all very good. If he was 20 years younger, people would not look at him at all.She is conceited and knows the gap between the two families.

"Auntie, why are you here!" Li Ruoxi's train of thought was interrupted, she looked up and saw Auntie Yang.

Yang shi took Li Ruoxi's hand to the side of the bed, patted her hand and said, "I'm here to see you, and by the way, I'll talk to you from the bottom of my heart."

"Auntie, what do you want to say?" Li Ruoxi asked curiously, her mother had passed away, and her grandmother had also passed away!Although her father continued, she found a stepmother for her.But under normal circumstances, it was the aunt Yang who took care of her. This was also what the grandfather meant, for fear that the stepmother would abuse her.

"There are really some things. I want to tell you in private. This is the dowry prepared by our family. It is only 88 liters. It looks thinner than the previous one, but there is actually nothing missing inside. Look at this dowry Check out the list, and keep it safe." Yang took out a list and handed it to Li Ruoxi.

Li Ruoxi didn't intend to be hypocritical.Instead, look carefully.After reading it, I thanked Mrs. Yang.She is just a girl from the second room, although it is said that the first room and the second room are not separated.Maybe they also value the benefits brought by the Lin family, but Li Ruoxi is already very satisfied to have such a dowry!

"In addition to the items on the list, it was determined by the old lady before her death. Each daughter is married with 500 taels of silver, and I, as an aunt, will add another 500 taels. I made up a round number of 2000 taels for you." Yang patted Li Ruoxi's hand and said with a smile.

In fact, she shouldn't have said these things to Li Ruoxi, a girl who has not left the cabinet. Li Ruoxi's stepmother really did too much. She gave birth to a son for her second brother, so she swaggered in the second room. For Li Ruoxi, who was always at home The ex-wife and daughter-in-law who had nothing to eat were very contemptuous, and even secretly gossiped about Li Ruoxi.

If not.How could old doctor Li decide to let the first wife's daughter-in-law take care of the second wife's daughter!It's because she was afraid that Li Ruoxi would be abused by her second daughter-in-law, so Li Ruoxi's dowry this time was handled by Yang alone.Old doctor Li never thought about it at all, this is what his second daughter-in-law should do.

All these words of Yang's are not in line with who Li Ruoxi said to. Of course, Yang's also thought carefully about it. It seems that she only said what she should do, but she pointed out what benefits she gave Li Ruoxi.

Li Ruoxi was a little surprised.It's not like she doesn't know what's going on at home.There are also quite a few children under the big house, "Auntie, what a shame!"

Yang said with a smile: "Silly boy, why are you being polite to my aunt? No matter how you say it, you still have to call me my aunt!"If you want to get benefits from Li Ruoxi in the future, you must be willing to give up now. Yang's calculations are very precise.

"Then there are maids for your dowry. There are four maids by your side, so I won't add them to you. I will put the deeds of the family of these four maids in your dowry. As your dowry, I will follow you to Jiangnan .”

Li Ruoxi nodded, the maids around her were all she was used to ordering around, so it would be good for them to be her dowry maids.

Seeing Li Ruoxi nodding her head, Yang Shi said earnestly like a mother again: "The most important thing after entering the Lin family is to hurry up and give birth to a son. Why is Mr. Lin reborn? Isn't it because he doesn't have a son? For the one left by the previous lady That girl, no matter how Master Lin treats Mrs. Jia, you have to treat her well. If Mr. Lin thinks about Mrs. Jia, if you treat that girl well, Mr. Lin will also miss you a little more. If Mr. Lin puts aside Mrs. Jia, your deeds will make Mrs. Lin look up to you even more. It’s just a daughter, so what if you can remember things now, girls around you will marry off in the future, it won’t take much to treat her well. son."

Although Li Ruoxi had already made up her mind that she would treat Lin Daiyu well, she didn't go for Lin Chang, but she just felt that Lin Daiyu couldn't be like herself. She was abused later, so she naturally knew how it felt.But here I didn't explain it to my aunt, but agreed one by one.

To say that Yang's treatment of Li Ruoxi like this is not only because her father-in-law and her husband love this niece, but also because she married Lin Chang this time.My husband's family is a family of imperial physicians, so I don't have to worry about anything, but my husband's family is an official in the court, and when the Lin family may help, she has to get close to this niece.

Here it is said that Mrs. Yang is desperately instilling some post-marriage knowledge to her niece, while Kong Jiayi is also busy there, not only busy with the marriage of the eldest son Lin Ye, but also with the marriage of the eldest daughter Lin Lingyu!

Although some well-informed people have already discovered that Jiangnan is a little unstable, but this does not prevent them from wanting to go to the daughter of the Lin family. It is still the same sentence, whether it is marriage or not. If the Lin family is defeated, this daughter-in-law A bowl of medicine can solve it!

As callous as it may sound, it is reality.

Reality is often so cruel and ruthless.

Therefore, when the Jiang family brought Lin Lingyu to appear in the upper class of the capital, they received a warm welcome.

The girl from the eldest room of the Lin family is very nice, she was brought up by the prostitute daughter of the Kong family. It is a great thing for Qingliu in ancient society to get involved.

Especially on the day of her first appearance, Lin Lingyu was wearing an apricot-yellow satin brocade dress with colorful flowers and flying butterflies, a gold-weaving bird-dyed flower skirt, cloud-toed brocade shoes with treasure-shaped patterns, and a set of pearls on her head. Show its style even more.

No matter which lady looks at it, she will praise it.

There were quite a few people who were excited, so by the next day, the Jiang family had received several posts, all of which invited her to enjoy the flowers, but the purpose was understood by everyone, to see Lin Lingyu.

After discussing with Master Lin and Kong Jiayi, the Jiang family selectively chose a few as guests. It happened that the fresh fabric jewelry sent by Lin Hai to the capital played a big role at this time. When you go out as a guest, you always change your style, even if you go out as a guest every day, there are many!

As for the adoptive daughter, the little money every year is not much, even if she asks the foster mother, it is only a few dozen taels of silver a year!Although this dowry is paid out at once, there is a certain number of specifications for each prefecture, even if it is large, it is not too much.

Therefore, the most expensive thing for raising a daughter is the things for visiting guests, not to mention holding flower parties and banquets, but just dressing up every time she shows up, the clothes need to be newly tailored, and the jewelry needs to be newly made. That's why my daughter is not looked down upon by others.

This explains why, in the original book, the girls of the Jia family never seem to have seen them go out as guests. There is no other reason.

You know, better jewelry costs hundreds of taels of silver.Like the birthday present that Lin Hai bought for Kong Jiayi once, a golden phoenix hairpin with emerald emerald tails, the golden phoenix is ​​vivid, the phoenix tail is embellished with emerald feathers, and the whole body is inlaid with gemstones.It took Lin Hai 1000 taels of silver to buy it.

Can the Jia family spend such a large amount of money on jewelry?

But according to their family background, it is impossible for their daughter to wear fake jewelry and go out as a guest!You have to know what the favorite topic of the women's relatives is clothes and jewelry. If you can see through this, wouldn't it be embarrassing!Therefore, the best way is to prevent them from going out as guests and completely solve the problem.

Naturally, the Lin family doesn't have any financial crisis now, so they can buy clothes and jewelry for Lin Lingyu very generously. If the clothes are worn once or twice, they can be rewarded to others.

Therefore, when Lin Lingyu went out as a guest almost every time, everyone had a new round of estimation of the financial resources of the Lin family and the degree of favor of Lin Lingyu. Doted on woman, much better.

Suddenly, some people who were still on the sidelines also began to act.

At this time, half of Lin Lingyu's future is about to come out!
