If her Min 'er died, then the Lin family's marriage would be over!
Thinking of this, Mother Jia hated her stupid second daughter-in-law so much that her teeth itched.
She immediately ordered people to pack up a large amount of belongings and sent them to Min 'er. Then she wrote a letter to comfort Min' er. In the future, she would be in charge of the wedding gifts and would not let her second daughter-in-law interfere.
However, just thinking of this made Mother Jia worried. Then she thought of Lin Daiyu.
Lin Daiyu was her granddaughter. She was at ease with the child raised by Min 'er. Moreover, Lin Ruhai was in the Emperor's Heart. He had been a marquis for five generations and had passed the imperial examinations himself. His classmates and connections could not be compared to the current Jia family.
Therefore, if Baoyu married Daiyu, then the Lin family would do their best to help Baoyu in the future.
However, the Wang family could not be abandoned. As for Min 'er …
After all, Min 'er was her new daughter. As a mother, could Min' er really not give her face?
Thinking of this, Mother Jia was relieved. After a while, she began to write letters to Jia Min about Baoyu and Daiyu's marriage.
How would she know that ever since Jia Min had completely given up on her maternal family, she had also been able to view the matters of the Jia family in the right light? Regarding this child, Jia Baoyu, although she had heard from the servants that he was good-looking and gentle and considerate to girls, but just this alone was not enough.
Hearing what he said and knowing that he was still mingling with girls, and with Situ Lang as a comparison, Jia Min would never let Daiyu marry him.
"Master, great news! Madam, great news! Young Master Situ, great news! Master, Young Master Situ, is the top scorer in the imperial examinations! The officials will be here soon to announce the good news! "
Housekeeper Lin looked at Young Master Situ who was standing beside his master and slowly felt proud in his heart.
Young Master Situ was handsome and full of talent. Since the founding of the Qing dynasty, it could be said that this had never happened before.
Moreover, Young Master Situ had a strong personality. He grew up by his master's side and knew his roots. He was affectionate and righteous. He could be considered a rare good son in the world.
In the future, when Young Miss marries Young Master Situ, she will definitely be happy and blissful. Moreover, Young Master Situ can be considered to have achieved scholarly honors, so it is time to prepare for the engagement between Young Master Situ and Young Miss.
Thinking of his mistress, Housekeeper Lin felt even more proud. Disregarding everything else, just the appearance of his mistress was definitely the most beautiful woman in the Qing Kingdom. Furthermore, his mistress was proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Her needlework and culinary skills were even more outstanding. Housekeeping and management were even more outstanding than men. She had also studied the Four Books and Five Classics. His master had said that if his mistress had not been born a woman, she would definitely have been the top scholar.
Thinking of this, Butler Lin smiled and went to arrange the celebration for Young Master Situ with a proud expression.
Now, Situ Lang was already 14 years old. Some people were already married at 14 years old.
Before this, many people wanted to propose a marriage for him. Although Situ Lang was not from a prominent family, he was still Lin Ruhai's disciple. He could be considered half of Lin Ruhai's son. Twelve years old, he was a scholar. Anyone with eyes and brains knew that his future was limitless.
In addition, with Lin Ruhai around, Lin Ruhai could not just ignore his disciple!
It was also because of this that Lin Ruhai understood how popular his disciple was. Although he wanted his disciple to marry his daughter, the most important thing was to see what the children thought. If the two children were not interested, how could they be happy in the future?
Therefore, Lin Ruhai told Situ Lang that someone was proposing a marriage for him.
However, what he did not expect was that after hearing his words, Lang 'er would directly kneel down to express his feelings for Daiyu.
Situ Lang was very self-aware. Although he was his master's disciple, he was indeed not worthy of Dai Yu. Even if his master, master's wife, and Yu 'er did not care, others would gossip about it. He loved Yu' er, so how could he let Yu 'er become the topic of conversation for others?
Therefore, he only said his feelings and expressed his feelings. The rest would depend on his actions.
Therefore, Situ Lang asked for four years and promised that if Daiyu really married him in the future, he would not take a concubine until he was 40 years old and had no children.
For the last point, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were very satisfied.
In today's society, having no children was a big crime. Although there was the saying of adoption, the Situ family was different from their family. Although the Lin family did not have close relatives within five generations, they still had side relatives outside five generations.
However, the Situ family did not have any side relatives outside five generations. Even if they wanted to adopt, they did not have any relatives to adopt.
This time, before Situ Lang went for the exam, Lin Ruhai told him that if he passed, he would start preparing for his engagement with Yu 'er. This was more important than any encouragement for Situ Lang.
Although his master had already sent a letter to the Jia family saying that he had already found a family for Yu 'er and was just waiting for Yu' er to grow up to arrange their engagement, the Jia family did not seem to know that he had rejected them. They kept sending letters to force him.
Now that he was the top scorer, the next step was to arrange his engagement with Yu 'er. At that time, he would see how the Jia family would continue to pester him.
After Jia Min heard that Situ Lang was the top scorer, she was very happy. She rewarded all the servants with a month's salary on the spot.
After all, that child was not just her master's disciple now, but her son-in-law.
Jia Min was very satisfied with Situ Lang. Men and women had different priorities. Although she also valued family background, after all, her own family background was here. If her son-in-law's family background was not good enough in the future, her daughter would also be looked down upon.
However, compared to his family background, what they valued more was his character!
Situ Lang, this child, as long as you treated him well, he would repay you wholeheartedly. After so many years, she and her master saw how well he treated Yu 'er. Yu' er would definitely be happy in the future.
Although Jia Min was very optimistic about Situ Lang, when she thought that her precious daughter would belong to another family in the future, even if it was Situ Lang, the child she watched grow up, Jia Min felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
But fortunately, Yu 'er was marrying Lang' er. If she wanted to return to her family in the future, Lang 'er would definitely not stop Yu' er.
Moreover, Lang 'er had no parents now. Yu' er would be the mistress of the family after marrying over. There would be no mother-in-law above her, and no aunt to make things difficult for her. In addition to Lang 'er's affection for Yu' er, Yu 'er would be happy!
Sigh — Actually, according to her and her master's intentions, they were not willing to arrange a marriage for Yu 'er so early, but her family —
Second Brother's Baoyu, after so many years, she also knew a lot about him. To be honest, she really looked down on Baoyu. Compared to Lang 'er, Baoyu was really not worse.
Now, Baoyu should be Twelve years old. Not to mention his homework, just the fact that he was still playing with his sisters in the backyard at this age was not good enough for her.
Although she and her master usually did not stop Lang 'er and Yu' er from seeing each other, the two children had a sense of propriety. They never fell behind in their homework. Unlike Baoyu, she heard that he had been beaten by Second Brother many times because of his homework.
Moreover, Baoyu was only so old now, but he always made a fuss about wanting to eat the rouge on the lips of the maidservants. The rouge on a woman's lips could not be eaten by a man. He was already a pervert at such a young age, what would happen when he grew up in the future?
Moreover, her mother still indulged him. The four maidservants by her side played with him. She heard that those maidservants were indulged all day long, and each of them had a bad temper like the deputy miss. As for those second-class maidservants, she heard that some of them were concubines that her mother and her good second sister-in-law had prepared for Baoyu.
With such a situation, who would be willing to let their daughter marry him? He had already prepared several concubines before being engaged. Who knew how many more would there be in the future?
Hmph —
Also, her good second sister-in-law had never been easy to get along with. With her good second sister-in-law's narrow-mindedness, no matter who married Baoyu in the future, they would not have a good life.
Looking at Baoyu's usual behavior, if he did not have the opportunity to take the imperial examinations in this life, he could forget about it.
Such a good-for-nothing, even if she died, she would not let Yu 'er marry such a good-for-nothing.
Not to mention that even if they were cousins, Yu 'er and that Baoyu were not compatible. Baoyu's background was not as good as Yu' er's. Master was now a second-rank official, and Second Brother — —
It was fine not to mention it!
Forget it, after experiencing so many things over the years, she had long given up on her maternal family. Now, she was only concerned about the last bit of face and affection. Her Yu 'er would definitely not marry into her maternal family.
However, that was her mother after all. If her mother used filial piety to suppress her and say something about Yu 'er's marriage, the one who would suffer in the end would be her Yu' er. Therefore, it was better for Yu 'er to settle down early.
Not long after Situ Lang became the top scorer in the Imperial Examinations, he and Yu 'er settled the marriage. Following that, the Lin family moved to the capital.
Lin Ruhai had been in the position of the Salt Patrol Imperial Censor for many years, and he had been looked down upon by many people. Later, he was even given a second-rank official position with no duties.
Especially in the past few years, there were more and more poisons and assassinations. If it was not for the remaining half of the ginseng fruit, Jinxuan and Lang 'er would have been in trouble.
