Chapter 931: Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu (94)
"Distinguished guests, what a lively occasion!"
Li Siqi deliberately cupped her hands in greeting to them, saying, "I will shamelessly accept your request."
I never expected that attending a banquet would lead to so many orders.
The God of Wealth is really good to me!
We need to go back and pray to the God of Wealth again.
Hearing her words, everyone present burst into laughter.
"Daiyu, do you have to pray to the God of Wealth all the time while you're doing business?"
Princess Minmin joked with a smile, "Is it because our business isn't doing well that we haven't been worshipping the God of Wealth?"
"I have never worshipped the God of Wealth."
An Jinxin covered her mouth and laughed, "From now on, we should learn from Sister Daiyu."
"Pray to the God of Wealth often, so that he may bless us with great wealth."
"That's right, how come we didn't think of that?"
Zheng Mingzhu couldn't help but exclaim, "The God of Wealth is the one who blesses us to make big money!"
No wonder we're not as good at business as Daiyu.
It turns out she'd even bribed the God of Wealth.
Hearing this, everyone laughed even harder.
They're having a good time here.
The news was quickly relayed to the ladies.
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this.
The ladies who already had a good impression of the eldest daughter of the Lin family now had an even deeper impression of her.
The princess's residence was bustling with activity.
The coming-of-age ceremony held by the Rongguo Mansion appeared rather shabby.
Apart from the people from Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion.
The remaining people were Shi Xiangyun from the Shi family and the women from the Wang family.
Even if you gather them together, there are only about a dozen or twenty people.
We were finally able to set up three or four tables.
No matter how wronged Xue Baochai felt.
At this moment, she had to face her coming-of-age ceremony with a smile.
After the end.
She couldn't hold it in any longer.
She lay on the bed, crying incessantly.
"Why are you crying?"
A hint of heartache flashed in Aunt Xue's eyes, but her tone was not very good, "Today's coming-of-age ceremony is already quite good."
Think about your identity.
Some people we can't invite, and there's no need to expect them to come.
"mother."
Xue Baochai's eyes reddened, and she said with a choked voice, "I know that."
I'm still not reconciled.
"What's there to be resentful about?"
Aunt Xue calmly replied, "People need to be clear-headed and know what they want."
Don't expect others to give you anything.
If you want something, you have to fight for it yourself, instead of waiting for someone else to give it to you.
Baochai, you should be able to see through this.
"Mom is right."
Xue Baochai wiped away her tears and murmured, "I was too presumptuous."
They thought others would give them face.
This is not something I can ask for.
I... I won't think about these things anymore.
"Okay, I don't want to think about it anymore."
Aunt Xue still felt sorry for her daughter, saying, "You've come of age, you should start thinking about yourself."
That's our family situation.
There are some things we don't need to force.
We are not worthy of their status.
"Mother, please don't say anymore. I won't do it again. I won't let you worry."
"I believe you."
Aunt Xue nodded and patted her daughter's hand. "You've had a busy day today."
You should take a good rest first.
We can talk about it another time.
"it is good!"
……
The mother and daughter talked for a while.
They all went back to their rooms to rest.
Li Siqi thought the Jia family would have a period of peace.
Unexpectedly, the maids were jealous of Jia Baoyu, and Jin Chuan, feeling ashamed and indignant after being chased away, threw herself into a well.
Although it resulted in the loss of a life.
Those in the know about the Jia family, however, didn't care at all.
Especially Jia Baoyu, who said he felt sorry for the maids.
He never cared about the lives or deaths of the maids, no matter what happened.
Lustful and utterly spineless.
I really don't understand why the characters Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai in the original drama seemed almost blind.
They all fall for people who are all talk and no action.
Although there was no time to save her, Li Siqi still had Xiaohuzi send Jin Chuan's soul to be reincarnated.
They disliked the Jia family even more.
It's only been a short time since winter began.
The Jia family is in for some excitement again.
"What did you say?"
Li Siqi thought she had misheard, "Jia Yuanchun has taken a fancy to the Prince of Xining?"
what's going on?
Is there something fishy going on between these two?
"It should be said that the Prince of Xining took a fancy to Jia Yuanchun."
Xiao Huzi explained with a smile, "This Prince of Xining is in his thirties, and he has only been in the last few years since he inherited his father's title."
The title of Prince of the County is hereditary for three generations, and the title will be downgraded in the fourth generation.
Of course, even if the title is downgraded, the next generation who inherits the title will still be a Duke.
It can be said that the people of the Prince of Xining's Mansion are still very popular and welcomed by unmarried men and women.
The old princess of Xining gave birth to two sons and two daughters.
The eldest son married the eldest daughter of the Duke of Qi's family, who is now the Princess Consort of Xining.
However, childbirth damaged her health.
Now he's sickly and can't manage the household affairs, but with the old princess keeping an eye on things, nothing's gone wrong.
The second son of the legitimate wife married the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Ding'an.
Both of her legitimate daughters have already married, and both are from families with noble titles.
The other two illegitimate sons relied on their legal mother and elder brother for support.
Although they haven't been separated yet, they're living their lives honestly.
All things considered, the Prince of Xining's Mansion is a pretty good place.
"Just now, the Prince of Xining took a liking to Jia Yuanchun."
Li Siqi continued to ask, "He has a wife, does he want Jia Yuanchun to be his concubine?"
To be honest, her father's official position wasn't high, but at least the Jia family still had the plaque of Rongguo Mansion hanging on their walls.
She can also be referred to as the eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion.
"If she were to become a concubine, neither Grandmother Jia nor the Wang family would agree."
"No, Master has misunderstood."
Xiao Huzi continued to explain, "This Prince of Xining wants to marry Jia Yuanchun as his second wife."
Because his wife's health is unlikely to improve.
That is, within this year and a half.
That's why he set his sights on Jia Yuanchun.
"His wife is still alive, and he's already eyeing the new one."
Li Siqi couldn't help but shake her head. "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be this absurd. What kind of secret is there between the Prince of Xining and Jia Yuanchun?"
"How could there possibly be a love-at-first-sight scenario?"
"Hehe, it wouldn't be wrong to say it was love at first sight."
Little Pot replied with a smile, "But it wasn't love at first sight this time, it was seven years ago."
At that time, Jia Yuanchun had only been in the palace for two or three years.
She was still considered a low-ranking palace maid.
It just so happened that on New Year's Eve that year, she was assigned to serve at the palace banquet.
As for the Prince of Xining, he was still the heir apparent and accompanied his parents to the palace to attend the banquet.
Because the banquet lasted a long time, he got bored and left the main hall, wandering around the area where the banquet was being held.
Actually, this kind of thing is quite normal. It's not just him; other people attending the palace banquet would wander around when they felt bored.
This is how the Prince of Xining met Jia Yuanchun.
She was carrying spices toward the main hall, which was not only spacious but also rather cold.
Many incense burners need to be lit to drive away the chill.
To make the distinguished guests attending the banquet more comfortable.
Jia Yuanchun was walking in a hurry when she accidentally bumped into the Prince of Xining, who was walking around the corner.
This was the first time the two had met.
However, Jia Yuanchun was preoccupied with her own mission and didn't have much of an impression of him.
