A very important factor in the marriage between the big families in these years is the strength of the two families.

If Lin Ruhai dies, Lin Daiyu will become an orphan girl, lonely and miserable, and the Lin family's side has been passed down for several generations, and there is no power to rely on at all, only the Jia family can be relied on, which is also Lin Ruhai's true thoughts.

Even if Feng Ziying is good now, but being excellent is only Feng Ziying herself, in a sense, being too good may not be a good thing for her daughter, which means that the competition will be more fierce in a sense, especially when there is a Shen family daughter.

Feng Ziying's performance is also very reliable now, and she is also very infatuated with Daiyu, but as a man, Lin Ruhai knows very well that it is irrational to pin these on a man's sensibility.

Shaohua is like water, no matter how beautiful her face is, it will wither, Daiyu's temper is not too good, will there be problems in the marriage of the two in the future, Lin Ruhai can only say that he will do his best to obey the destiny of heaven.

So on the one hand, try your best to support and help Feng Ziying, so that the other party can leave a sense of gratitude, and on the other hand, you should also help the Jia family, which can be regarded as a precaution.

If there is really any accident, Jia's mother is Daiyu's grandmother, and Jia Zheng is also Daiyu's maternal uncle, and she will not sit idly by.

At this point, even whether it is Feng Ziying or Lin Ruhai, everyone knows it, and Feng Ziying will not stop it if he knows it, because if he is in Lin Ruhai's position, he will also consider it so.

What's more, it is really difficult to predict what kind of ending the grievances and feuds between Emperor Yonglong and Emperor Taishang and Prince Yizhong will end.

Although judging from various signs, Emperor Yonglong has an absolute advantage over Prince Yizhong, but there are too many variables in this kind of succession, and Prince Yizhong will not understand this, but he still goes his own way, I am afraid that this is not as simple as insisting on doing his own thing, and he must still have his reliance.

He also has strategists under him, the same is quietly planning for him, and there are many allies, in this case, the turnaround may be an overnight thing, so Jia Yuanchun's role in it, who can say clearly about the future creation?

"If Brother Keng really wants to marry Lin Yatou, it will not be a bad thing."

Jia Yu's mind is all on silver, and Jia Zheng has to look a little farther, but it is slightly different from the girl he hoped to marry Mrs. Yu, but it is better than marrying a woman who has nothing to do with the Jia family.

"Well, what the second brother said is also true, Lin Yatou married the Feng family, and our Jia Feng family will be much closer in the future."

Jia Yu also came back to his senses, the Feng family is on the rise, Lin Daiyu is also her own niece, and she has no reliance in the future, this marriage with the Feng family, the Feng family is connected to the Jia family.

A few days ago, some Shanxi businessmen came to the door to ask about Lian'er, in fact, they saw that Lian'er was doing things for Feng Ziying, and several gifts were worth a lot of money, and some of them directly gave five hundred taels of silver, which made Jia Yu smile.

With this kind of relationship, others dare not say it, at least there will be no fewer people who come to the door to give gifts, and the Jia family can also rise, in Jia Yu's opinion, it is even far better than the benefits brought by Jia Guifei, who entered the palace without knowing but did not have much noise.

"It's just that Lin Yatou's body is a little weaker, so I'm afraid of ......" Jia Zheng sighed lightly and shook his head, he thought that he couldn't pass the level of Feng's mother Duan's family, but even if he passed it now, if Lin Yatou couldn't give birth to a son in the future, it would be a big problem.

Jia Yu's mind moved slightly, and he subconsciously thought of his concubine welcoming the spring, but he couldn't say it at this time.

"Lian'er, you haven't told anyone else about this, have you?" Jia Zheng frowned, originally wanted to help the Xue family pull the strings, and by the way, he could also talk about building a garden and borrowing more money from the Xue family, but now it is a little difficult to do.

Jia Zheng had asked his wife to talk to Aunt Xue before, but the Xue family said that they could only get 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver, and if there were more, there would be none, which was a little embarrassing.

His brother has always insisted that the Xue family can lend 180,000 yuan, which is too big a gap, which makes it a little unpleasant, that is, he has the idea that Bao Yatou can marry Brother Keng, with such a contribution, it is logical to borrow another 50,000 or 60,000 taels of silver.

I didn't expect it to become what it is now.

"Not yet, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate to hide this anymore, right?" Jia Lian hesitated: "Although Aunt Lin's body doesn't mean that it won't work soon, it is estimated that it won't survive the autumn, and now that Ziying and Sister Lin have made a marriage, Aunt Lin has no worries in his heart, and the old ancestor is afraid that he will have to inform him earlier,......."

"It's best not to explain it thoroughly for the time being, second brother, you have to go to the Xue family to determine the amount of silver, if 80,000 is not good, 60,000 will always have it, so I will bother my younger brothers and sisters to work hard again." Jia Yu said categorically.

Jia pardon and Jia Zheng have all discussed this matter, even if the Xue family has a little thought, this borrowed silver can be borrowed.

If the Xue family is completely hopeless, unless Baoyu is allowed to marry Baochai, maybe it will not be possible to borrow even the twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver.

Jia Lian naturally didn't understand the doorway, but of course Jia Zheng knew it, but he was really unwilling to use such slightly despicable methods as his nature.

But this family raised their fingers to calculate the account, this is to build a decent yard, the cost is really not small, the initial estimate is 400,000 taels, maybe this is done, and you have to take the lead.

In the future, you can't say that the garden has been built, and the family will not eat or drink and live on the northwest wind, so the public middle school can't be drained all at once, and can only rely on borrowing.

This is another matter of his own daughter, and his brother thinks about it for himself, so Jia Zheng can only bear it.

*********

Xue Pan rushed into the house, startling the two women sitting at the round table gossiping, Aunt Xue sank her face, "Son, you are such an adult, why are you still so unstable?" I heard the day before yesterday that you're much better than you used to ,......."

"Mother, sister, Ziying is back!"

Xue Pan stood still panting, looking at his sister with a somewhat complicated gaze.

"I came back yesterday, I heard what Liu Erlang said in Daguanlou today, so I rushed to Feng's house, but Feng's house said that I entered the palace early in the morning to participate in the court meeting, and I thought that this noon must be out of the palace to eat, so I let people guard, I didn't expect the next person to come back and say that there are too many people guarding outside the palace gate, and they can't get close to the side at all, and they can't find anyone,......"

"Ah, the Feng family is back?" Aunt Xue was also overjoyed, "I don't worry about official business, just ,...... after a busy day."

Baochai's heart also trembled, and his wonderful eyes were full of affection, "Brother, don't be so frizzy, Brother Feng will definitely stay for a while when he comes back, there are many things inside, let's not bother for the time being, and wait until he is busy,......"

"Sister!" Xue Pan was anxious in his heart, and he stopped talking.

He was originally a person who couldn't keep things, and such an expression suddenly made Aunt Xue suspicious, and Baochai was even smarter, and his heart sank, knowing that he was afraid that his brother would hear something bad again.

"Son, but what's the matter?" Aunt Xue took her son's hand and hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that my son thinks that this Ziying is back, and I don't know how long it will take to be busy, doesn't it mean that Second Brother Lian helped him in Yangzhou, and his reputation has spread to Jingshi City? Jiafu received a lot of gifts,...... "Xue Pan finally found a topic and wanted to divert it."

Aunt Xue looked at her son suspiciously, as if she didn't believe it, and Baochai naturally knew that this was not the case, but she couldn't ask about it in front of herself.

It was easy to drag Aunt Xue to take a nap when she was sleepy, and only the brother and sister were left, Xue Pan said with an angry face: "Sister, for my brother, I heard that Baoxiang said that Ziying and the sister of the Lin family are engaged, do you know?" ”

Like a giant hammer slammed into Baochai's heart, although Feng Ziying had already told him that he wanted to marry Lin Daiyu, but when there was no news on his side, the news of Feng Ziying and Lin Daiyu's marriage came, which still made Baochai a little difficult to accept.

With a slight face, Baochai tried his best to stabilize his mood, and pretended to be relaxed: "What did my brother say about this, my sister already knew about it, didn't my brother also know?" ”

"Hmph, it is certainly unpleasant for Ziying and the sister of the Lin family to be engaged, but why did the news from Jiafu that the girl of the Shi family might marry Ziying the day before yesterday?"

If the news just now was just expected, it just made people feel uncomfortable, this news is like a bolt from the blue, how can this be?

Baochai's body shook violently, and he subconsciously held the round table with his hand to stabilize it.

There has never been anything groundless in this world, and when it comes from the Jia family, there are definitely some unknown things here.

"Brother, where did you get this news?" Baochai couldn't hold it steady anymore, her lips trembled slightly, she sat down on the edge of the table, and pinched the sweat towel with one hand.

"A few days ago, I went to Ningguo Mansion to find Brother Zhen and Brother Rong, and I happened to meet Jia Qiang's house, and a few boys in Rongguo's Mansion are also very familiar with each other, I heard that he took the door of Lian's second sister-in-law, and if he wants to prepare to buy a troupe for the garden in the future, he is going to Suzhou, Hangzhou and Yangzhou to walk around,......"

Although Xue Pan is foolish and not very careless in ordinary matters, he cares more about things related to Feng Ziying and his sister than anyone else.

"That guy said that the girl of the Shi family and Feng Ziying went down to Yangzhou together, saying that this is also a fate, I don't know who mentioned it in the old lady's house, I heard that the old lady has such a meaning, let people go to the Shi family to ask the meaning of the two uncles of the Shi family, and the Shi family has not replied yet,......"
