Chapter 588: Mourning
After the early morning of the night, there were bells and drums in Ningguo Mansion.
When I woke up early in the morning, neighbors and passers-by suddenly discovered that the gate of Ningguo Mansion, which was still very happy yesterday, was hung with white cloth overnight.
Although the Rongguo Mansion was not white, it also took off the big red lantern at the door.
So, everyone knew that the father of Jia Qing, the first-class general of Ningguo Mansion, died last night!
Early in the morning, Aunt Xue, who had just cleaned up, rushed to Rongqingtang.
She saw all the vague gazes on the road, but she didn't pay much attention.
She had known that the Jia family had such a hurry to propose marriage, which was the ingredients for Jia Jing to be happy. But so what? As long as Jia Qing becomes her legitimate son-in-law, she would still be willing to eat it.
But who knew that Jia Jing died immediately. At this time, in addition to the reputation of the Xue family and Baochai, she cared more about the attitude of the Jia family.
"Auntie, my wife."
"Have the old lady got up?"
"The old lady got up early this morning and is talking to her now."
Aunt Xue nodded and entered the house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, Jia Mu stood up and said to Aunt Xue: "Mrs. I have made you wronged..."
Aunt Xue was shocked. How dare she accept the gift from Jia Mu, so she hurried over to support her and said, "How is the old lady like this? She has ruined the younger generation..."
Aunt Xue did not accept courtesy, and Jia did not force her. In fact, she was not sincere.
"Oh, I originally thought that one of the two children is a talented man and the other is a beautiful woman. It was made of heaven and earth, so I worked as a mediator to protect this marriage. This was also to deepen the love between you and me.
Who knew that his father had gone at this time? Now, I don’t feel wronged by the girl Baochai. I feel really uneasy.”
Aunt Xue opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. She had suspected that the Jia family had deceiving behavior in this matter. However, the Jia family was originally higher than the Xue family, and Jia Qing herself had no problem. If she said this kind of "scam" she would not believe it!
That's all, now that Jia Mu is like this, no matter what or not, she will blame herself first. The so-called venerable apologizes to the humble, so how can she be embarrassed to say other things?
"This is something that no one can predict, how can we blame the old lady? The old lady has a kind heart.
It's just Baochai..."
Fame is everything about a woman. This situation has a great impact on Baochai. Even Aunt Xue can't say the word "it's okay".
Jia Mu said seriously: "I understand. I see who in these two houses dares to gossip. The marriage between you and me was originally the last wish of Qing Ge'er's father on his death. Now that the concubine has fulfilled her, her father can leave with peace of mind and preserve his filial piety.
No matter what the matter is said, it is considered that our Jia family owes the Xue family and the concubine a favor. If anyone dares to say something about the host in this matter, I will be the first one to refuse!"
When Aunt Xue heard this, she felt relieved in her heart.
According to Jia Mu's statement, it was not that "the joy was not enough to be happy, but that it would be a loss", but that Jia Qing wanted to marry the daughter of the Xue family in order to fulfill his father's wish at the end of his life, and the Xue family was fulfilling it, and Jia Jing left with a smile...
In this way, no one can argue in theory and preserve Baochai's reputation.
At this moment, Aunt Xue was very grateful to Jia Mu.
Grandmother Jia looked at Aunt Xue's expression and felt very satisfied. She knew the whole story. Now that she had a real relationship, Jia Jing left and said, "I really agreed with the Taoist saying that Grandmother Jia believed in gods and Buddhas, even if she didn't believe it before, she should believe it after experiencing this matter, so she was sure that she did nothing wrong with the marriage.
Due to some selfish intentions, she did not tell the truth to the Xue family, which has caused the reputation of the Xue family to be damaged.
By ingredient, this is indeed a fraudulent act. But Jia Mu naturally would not blame herself for this. No matter what, the Xue family took advantage of this marriage. She had already paid off for Jia Qing's marriage. Now that she was taken away by the Xue family, she would not feel guilty for a little bit of trouble.
However, Baochai will become the wife of the Jia family Ningguo Mansion in the future, so she will naturally not see her reputation be damaged. So she had already planned this set of rhetoric and had just talked with Mrs. Wang.
Now, the results are really good.
She did nothing, not only eliminated Aunt Xue's suspicion, but also gained the other party's gratitude. This is the cleverness of her methods of handling things.
"I just discussed with your sister and prepared to go over and take a look. Brother Qing did this for the first time. I was afraid that he would not be considerate, so why would the concubine follow him and take a look? He is also considered the concubine's prospective son-in-law. Haha, the concubine can't watch him make a fool of himself, right? Now I'll help him, and I'm sorry, please thank you, your mother-in-law, for your whole life, hahaha."
Jia Mu suggested with a smile.
When Aunt Xue thought about it, it would be fine, and by the way, she would see how Jia Qing’s attitude was. Compared with the attitude of Jia Mu, she was more concerned about Jia Qing’s opinion. Jia Mu’s side was only related to the face of the Xue family, while Jia Qing’s attitude was related to Baochai’s happiness!
Her man died, and now she is guarding the huge property of the Xue family, hoping that it is all for her children, so she can't help but be careful.
...
In the Grand View Garden, the sisters also gathered together to worry about Baochai.
"Oh, I was originally pointing to the wedding wine of my second brother and sister Bao soon, but I'm afraid I won't be able to drink it for a while."
Qiu Shuangzhai, Tanchun said so.
For Jia Qing's engagement like lightning and her partner was Sister Bao, who was with her day and night, she felt like she was unreal.
Yingchun also said: "Yes, the second brother and the fourth sister have to be mourned for three years now. In three years, Sister Bao and the second brother will probably not be able to get married."
Tanchun became more and more melancholy. At this time, Baochai returned home and Daiyu lived home again. Xichun also entered Ningguo Mansion early in the morning to observe filial piety. The originally lively garden was instantly left with only her, Yingchun and Xiangyun.
When she turned around, she saw Xiangyun lowering her head and silently, so she pulled her and said, "Yun Yat-tou, what are you thinking?"
"Oh? Ah, I'm thinking, I'm thinking that Sister Zibao will definitely feel bad now. Let's take a look at her together?"
Tanchun didn't care and said, "You said that, it was too accidental. Let's go and see Sister Bao together."
"Well, let's go."
...
In spring, Daiyu is prone to coughing.
Even though she came back in the name of serving Lin Ruhai, unfortunately she would not be the one who decided her body. Perhaps because of the sudden change of environment, she coughed slightly that night.
Zijuan brought her a bowl of medicine, but when she came back, her face was heavy. Daiyu said, "What's the matter?"
Zijuan said: "I heard that the second master's father has gone, and the family has already started to have funerals."
Daiyu was stunned and said, "Which second master?"
"Of course it's Master Qing Er!"
Zijuan was speechless. Could it be that he was still the second master of Bao?
Speaking of which, Jia Zheng is very healthy! Zijuan even finds it difficult to imagine Jia Zheng in her heart that she looks like she is so angry...
After a shiver, Zijuan quickly threw this disrespectful thought into her mind.
Daiyu heard this and had no reaction.
His father died...
Yes, his father has always been full of disasters and illnesses. Now that he is gone, he doesn't know how sad he should be.
Daiyu became sad for Jia Qing.
Zijuan is not as sentimental as Daiyu, she only cares about things related to her.
"In this way, the second master will have three years of filial piety. Within three years, the second master will not only not be able to ritual and music, but most importantly, the wedding date between him and Miss Bao will be postponed... Miss?"
Zijuan found that Daiyu was a little absent-minded.
"That's what? Is her wedding date delayed? What does it have to do with me!"
Daiyu suddenly turned red.
This stinky girl, if you have anything to do, just use this to make fun of her. It's abominable.
She thought Zijuan was making fun of her.
If Zijuan knew Daiyu’s thoughts, she would definitely feel sorry for her, but unfortunately she didn’t know.
"Girl, have you forgotten that the second master told the girl that day, let the girl believe him, and give him another three years...
Could it be that the girl is not at all confused, why did he ask the girl to give her three years for no reason?”
Daiyu frowned and said, "Then what do you mean by him?"
Zijuan walked to Daiyu and whispered: "I think the second master also has a girl in his heart. He wants to spend three years to marry the girl..."
Pa, Daiyu's favorite book was hit on the ground by her. Daiyu stood up suddenly and "glided" at Zijuan: "What are you talking nonsense here? It's so inappropriate. You dare to say such words, look at me, no..."
The more Daiyu "swears", the more she whispers. She always knew that Zijuan could guess what she thought, but never once, Zijuan said as straightforward as before.
Marry me...we are brothers and sisters...
Moreover, he has already gotten engaged to Sister Bao, wuwu, is it still possible...
Daiyu glared at Zijuan for a long time, but she couldn't do anything to her after all. Her neck was red, and she pushed Zijuan away and wanted to run away.
"girl……"
Zijuan grabbed her and continued to whisper but firmly said: "Is the girl really going to give up? I just couldn't guess the second master's heart before, and I also support the girl to give up completely, because since something destined to be fruitless, it is good for everyone to give up. But now we can clearly feel the second master's heart, so how can we not try to give the second master a chance? This is the girl's last chance..."
Daiyu struggled for a few moments, and when she heard the words "last chance", she finally calmed down slowly.
"How do you know what he means? If you guessed it wrong, wouldn't it be meaningless."
