Chapter 1918: Ren Zijuan passed by the house, and there was another surprise

The news that the Feng family was going to marry Lin Daiyu in advance spread immediately throughout the house and inside the house, which made Daiyu surprised, happy and worried when she learned the news.

The surprise is naturally that it is a good thing to be able to marry one day early. The current situation is turbulent. Even though Daiyu has great trust in Feng Ziying, she is still worried that some accidents will affect her marriage.

A sudden fall like the one in the Jia family made Daiyu feel uneasy for a while.

Although it has long been known that the slow decline or even decline of the Jia family is an irreversible process. The performance of Baoyu and Jia Lian, the two legitimate sons, is enough to explain a lot. However, Jia Huan's performance in the academy still gave some people in the Jia family fantasy, but who Nor did he expect that the split between the north and the south would lead to the Jia family being destroyed in such a way.

Daiyu, who lives in the Jia family, undoubtedly feels it the most. For her, the impact of her father's death has become increasingly obvious, and her influence has faded, making her, an orphan, often dependent on her uncle's Jia family. But the Jia family The destruction of her family made her truly feel that she was alone, and the fear and worry in her heart lingered.

Even if Feng Ziying likes her again and has vowed countless times, marriage in this era is not maintained by feelings, just like Brother Feng married Shen Yixiu. They were strangers before, but Shen Yixiu still became the eldest wife of Brother Feng. Likewise, The marriage between Xue Baoqin and the Mei family was a close friendship between their parents. They had been engaged for ten years, so they regretted the marriage just as they said they regretted it.

Because of this, Daiyu had a strong sense of crisis, so when the news came from the Feng family that they were planning to marry in advance, and might even marry her within a month, Daiyu not only breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt extremely happy. He was so happy that even Zicuckoo and others were overjoyed.

However, there is also some worry that Feng Ziying may have to leave Beijing soon after getting married, and the tasks she will undertake will be quite dangerous, which makes Daiyu worried.

News about the bad situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi are frequently published in the newspapers and periodicals in Beijing. Although it has not yet formed a hot spot, the hot spot is still the situation in Shandong, but this heat is still rising slowly. Once the chaos in Shanxi and Shaanxi becomes worse, news of the spread of the plague spreads , I guess I can’t hold it back anymore.

"Girl, girl, the uncle is here. Yuanyang came with him." Zicuckoo hurried in with a happy face.

"Ah?" Daiyu was both shy and happy. In theory, the two of them should not meet before marriage. That was enough in the past, but now they only have one or twenty days to get married, so they should pay attention to it, but Brother Feng seems to be worried about it. It's not taboo to pay attention to this at all. It's coming as soon as it comes. It's not good for you to see it or not to see it.

There is nothing that can be done about it. There is no elder on the Lin family, and even the Jia family is still in prison. If you want to find a common elder to discuss it, you can't find anyone, so you just come by yourself. Anyway, That's all. Everyone knows it.

Before Daiyu could come back to her senses, Feng Ziying had already walked in. Daiyu could only get up shyly and say a blessing. After learning that she had only ten or twenty days to get married and become a woman, Daiyu Instead of being eager to get close to her in the past, she has become shy and reserved, and is not even willing to say more. Meeting like this is probably the limit.

Seeing Daiyu's appearance, Feng Ziying knew that it would be ineffective to say anything to the other party. It would be better to do business with Zijuan, a smart girl, which might be more effective. These words could also be conveyed through Zijuan. To Daiyu.

So after exchanging a few words with Daiyu, Daiyu just excused herself because she felt unwell.

"Zicjuan, your girl doesn't talk much, so I'm afraid you have to worry more about things here. I'm also quite busy at this time. Yuanyang will come to discuss the specific matters with you. What is needed and what is not perfect? The two of you will just discuss it." Feng Ziying, with his golden sword, sat at the round table, picked up the tea and took a sip, "I also arranged for people to seize the time to clean up and repair the Shenwu General's Mansion over there, although it is a little small. , but it’s enough to live in, and that’s all it can do for the time being.”

Zicuckoo calmed down and asked curiously: "Uncle, are you really going to leave Beijing after marrying my girl?"

"It's possible. It hasn't been decided yet, but I'm just planning ahead. If it does happen, it'll be too late. So I'll just marry my sister back home. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later. My mother is still looking forward to it." I'm here." Feng Ziying smiled, "Sister, she doesn't like to worry about these trivial things. Yuanyang, you have to take care of me here. I'll ask Yuanyang to come and handle this matter with you."

Yuanyang and Zijuan are the closest friends. There is naturally no barrier between the two, and they can communicate easily. They start to get to the point in three or five sentences and discuss relevant preparations in detail.

　　The rules for welcoming brides and grooms are all of their own, and there is nothing to discuss. The only troublesome thing is that Daiyu’s elders are now in prison, but Li Wan can barely be counted as her cousin-in-law.

However, when Feng Ziying heard Yuanyang and Zijuan discussing that Li Wan would come to take the place of Daiyu's elder, she still felt something strange. It was too weird for a woman with whom she had an affair to act as an elder, but Feng Ziying couldn't refute it. Apart from Li Wan, I really can't find any other suitable candidate.

After chatting with Yuanyang for a long time, Zijuan glanced at Feng Ziying who was sitting beside him, who was a little distracted. He pursed his lips and asked hesitantly: "Uncle, my girl's matter is actually not too troublesome. We have prepared it early. , it was not a big problem a few months earlier and a few months later, but now it is a problem, Miss Miaoyu,..."

 Feng Ziying came to her senses, well, it’s really a problem.

Miaoyu's attitude has always been vague, and it seems that there were some changes in the early stage. He eavesdropped on the conversation between Miaoyu and Xiuyan outside the house. In fact, he had a rough idea of ​​the two women's intentions, but Miaoyu never said Face to face, this woman has a bit of a weird temperament, and she may change her mind when she gets married, so Feng Ziying is still thinking about how to solve this matter.

Daiyu was originally the most suitable candidate to solve the problem, but Daiyu's aloof and arrogant temperament was really not suitable for such a "lobbyist". Zijuan and Yuanyang were very articulate, but they were inferior in status. With Miaoyu, This kind of person has a low self-esteem on the inside but is becoming more and more arrogant on the outside, which makes it more difficult for maids like Zicuckoo and Yuanyang to persuade.

Feng Ziying's heart moved slightly. Her plan to have a good talk with Xing Zhong and his wife was delayed because she had been busy during this period. Now it seemed that it was time to go for a walk.

The people in the mansion knew to some extent that they had a good impression of Xing Xiuyan. Baochai and Baoqin had tested his feelings. He didn't give a clear answer, but he didn't deny it either. Baochai and Baoqin should have understood. Even Qingwen was here Everyone on the bed had asked about this, and I didn't know whether it was for Shen Yixiu or just out of gossip. Feng Ziying didn't answer.

“Zicuckoo, what’s wrong? Is Miaoyu okay during this time?” Feng Ziying asked softly.

"There's nothing else, except that she and Miss Xing are inseparable. Miss Xing will come here almost every day or two. Sometimes Miss Miaoyu and Miss Xing will go out together. Even the girl is a little envious of their relationship, more than They are sisters." Zijuan pursed her lips and smiled: "It's a bit like the relationship between my girl, Miss Yun, and the third girl."

“The third sister often comes here? Do you come here with Sister-in-law Zhu and the fourth sister, or by yourself?” Feng Ziying was very sensitive and asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Sometimes I come with Grandma Zhu and the fourth girl, and sometimes I come alone.” Zijuan blinked, “I heard that the fourth girl occasionally goes to Grandma Shen’s place...”

"What?" Feng Ziying couldn't help but asked in surprise: "You said the fourth sister went to Wan Jun's place?! How could this happen? How could the fourth sister and Wan Jun get together?"

Only then did Zijuan find out that Grandma Shen's maiden name was Wan Jun, and a mysterious smile appeared on her face: "The fourth girl especially likes to paint. People in the house say she is a painting fanatic, and Grandma Shen is a master of calligraphy and painting in Gusu. Even my girl and the third girl know that Grandma Shen has superb painting skills, so it is reasonable for the fourth girl to want to ask Grandma Shen for advice."

Feng Ziying felt that there was some unexplainable meaning in Zijuan's smile, but she couldn't ask further questions in front of Yuanyang, so she coughed dryly and said: "It's true that Wanjun likes painting, well, his level is not bad, the level of the fourth sister." It's not bad. It makes sense for them to compete and learn from each other. But I just think that the fourth sister has always been cold-tempered and doesn't like to make friends with others. Wan Jun and her were just acquaintances. When did they progress so quickly? We were discussing painting skills together, and I didn’t know it yet, Yuanyang, it seems that you, the housekeeper of the house, have also neglected your duties..."

Yuanyang was also a little surprised. She knew that Xichun had been to the Changfang a few times, but she didn't pay much attention to it. Qingwen didn't mention it when she was with Qingwen. What Zijuan said made her a little suspicious. , why should Qingwen hide such things from herself? Asking for advice on painting is not a shameful thing, could it be...?

Yuanyang subconsciously wanted to shake her head. She knew Xichun's temperament very well, how could she behave like that? Is it really just a matter of asking for advice on painting?

But where did Zicuckoo get the news?

"Sir, the Third Miss, the Fourth Miss and Sister-in-law Zhu live right next to General Shenwu's Mansion. They are so close to each other. We often go to Grandma and Second Grandma's place. Grandma Shen has an indifferent temperament and is good at poetry and painting. Shuang Jue, even Second Grandma Bao and the others would sometimes organize a game to enjoy tea and play the piano together. The Second Lady also went to play chess with Grandma Shen, and the servant didn’t think there was anything wrong with this. But I am also a mother-in-law, and these three wives are supposed to be like sisters, so I don’t have to worry about anything in the future, right?"

Yuanyang glanced at Zicuckoo as he spoke. It seemed that after coming down, he would catch Zicuckoo's little hoof and examine it carefully. There was something else he didn't know.
