Miss Lin Family of the Red Chamber

Lin Ruhai was planning to get married in the capital, so as soon as he returned to Yangzhou, he sent the second housekeeper back to the capital to repair the ancestral house in Beijing. When the second housekeeper went to Beijing, he also took away the dowry gift.In order to find out about the wedding holiday, Lin Ruhai couldn't go there in person, so she invited the elders of the family members of her old friends to help her to go to Zhang's mansion. The auspicious day for the marriage proposal is set on April [-]th; Auspicious day.

Not only the ancestral house in the capital needs to be repaired, but also the Bianlin Mansion in Yangzhou. In order to welcome the new hostess, it has also been renovated. The courtyard where Jia Min lived was completely sealed up. A new courtyard was re-planned and integrated as the main courtyard of the new mistress.Along with the refurbishment are the courtyard Lin Ruhai personally designated for Meng Yan in the backyard, which Meng Yan personally named Feiluan Pavilion, and the Julang Court in the front yard where Meng Zhou will live in the future.

Why did the master renovate the yard, especially the backyard? The servants of the Lin family didn't know, but they vaguely guessed that the backyard might be filled with newcomers; so the servants all speculated who the mistress would be who would enter the mansion. general attention.

And Nanny Lin and Steward Lin, who really knew the truth, didn't suppress the servants of Lin's mansion, as long as they said they didn't make trouble outside the mansion, they didn't care. You have to keep your feet on the ground.

Lin Fu's new master made the original Lin Fu's family very happy, but the slaves left by Jia Min were not happy.They are the slaves of the previous mistress, and the new master will definitely not use them or trust them when he comes in.

After Jia Min's death, Jia Min's dowry and the dowry family members left by Jia Min were all sent to Zhuangzi by Lin Ruhai, except for Jia Min's nanny Liu Nanny and Jia Min's confidantes who stayed to take care of Daiyu.However, Jia Min has been running the Lin Mansion for more than ten years, and he has installed a lot of people in the open and in the dark. Unless the whole mansion is cleaned and replaced with all the servants, it will be difficult to clean it up; so this time is also an opportunity.

While the entire Lin family was busy preparing for the upcoming new mistress, the Lin family welcomed two unexpected guests.

The sun was shining brightly in summer, and a green horse-drawn carriage stopped at the gate of the Lin Mansion near noon.A fat white hand with two gleaming gold rings with obvious wrinkles raised the curtain of the car, and got out of the car. An old woman with half head of silver hair about 60 years old in a dark blue silk dress.

I saw the woman walking to the door proudly while fanning the wind with silk, and shouted at the servant guarding the door.

"Hurry up and report to your master, someone from Rongguo Mansion is begging to see your master."

"Rongguo Mansion? Where is Rongguo Mansion?"

The gatekeeper was newly transferred from Zhuangzi and didn't know about Rongguo Mansion. The former gatekeeper was Jia Min's housemate's son who was cleared to Zhuangzi.Since Jia Min left, no one in the Lin Mansion mentioned her again.Because of what she did, Lin Ruhai really didn't want to mention her anymore, and with the matter of Meng's mother and son, after cleaning up Jia Min's companion room, he ordered Lin Butler to beat the servants; Mention the first wife Jia Min and Jia Min's natal Rongguo Mansion.

"Where is the Rongguo Mansion?! You don't know the Rongguo Mansion!" The old woman raised her voice and glared at the servant, as if you didn't know the sin of the Rongguo Mansion. "Rongguo Mansion is the Rongguo Mansion in the capital city. It is your wife's natal family. How did you work as a servant? You don't even know your wife's natal family. You can work as a servant with such a lazy temper. When I see you Uncle must let him deal with you, a lazy servant. What are you doing in a daze, and you dare not report it immediately, our girl is still waiting. "

The old woman turned to the servant Ding Ling.

Everyone in the Rongguo Mansion, whether they are masters or slaves, feel that they are superior to others. They think that apart from the princes and grandchildren of the Tian family, Rongguo Mansion has the highest status in this world, so they always look at people with their chins.That is, Jia Min has been married to the Lin Mansion for more than ten years. In Jia Min's eyes, the Lin family is far less noble than her natal family's Rongguo Mansion.It is precisely because of this that when the servants of Jia's family came to Lin's mansion, they always put on a posture that I am superior to you.

It is precisely because of Jia Min's indulgent attitude that the servants of Jia's mansion still put on a superior posture when they arrive in Lin's mansion.

The servant Ding came up from Zhuangzi again after less than a year as an errand, and without much knowledge, he was stunned by the Rongguo Mansion, said something to the old woman's waist, and then ran in.

"You've been waiting, I'll go report now, little one."

The old woman spat at the servant Ding contemptuously, then turned around and helped the man in the carriage to get off.

"Miss Mei, please get out of the car."

Although she was asking for someone, she was speaking with orders. The old woman helped a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in pink with a delicate face but a cautious petty air from the carriage.After getting out of the car, the girl curtseyed and respectfully said to the old woman.

"Thank you Madam Lai."

It turned out that this old woman was none other than Nanny Lai, the confidant of the old matriarch of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Shishi.

Steward Lin received the notice from the gatekeeper Ding and personally came out to welcome Madam Lai and the two into Lin's mansion.

After the two entered the mansion, housekeeper Lin arranged for them to rest in the guest room.

Nanny Lai has also been to the Lin Mansion many times and is very familiar with the Lin Mansion. The actions in the Lin Mansion immediately caught Lai Nanny's attention.She started to inquire about the Lin family, and with Jia Min's confidant Nanny Liu present, Nanny Lai soon got the news that the Lin family was about to enter a new woman.

Mammy Lai couldn't help wondering if the old lady had already written to the aunt, and the aunt knew that it would be impossible for her to bring Miss Mei.But this doesn't look like it, could it be... No, things have changed.

No matter what, Miss Mei must stay in the Lin Mansion.

Nanny Lai was uneasy, thinking about how to keep the girl Jia Mei who had brought her; at the same time, she was anxiously waiting for Lin Ruhai.

When Lin Ruhai got off the sedan chair on his way home, he saw Lin Butler waiting at the gate, circling anxiously at the gate of Zhuanquan Mansion.

"Master, you are back."

"Uncle Cheng, could something have happened? Could it be Yan'er..." Lin Ruhai was worried.

"No, it's not Missy. Master, someone from the capital is here, from Jia's house." Steward Lin said in a low voice, "It's Nanny Lai, and she brought the girl over."

What it means to bring a girl here is self-evident.

Lin Ruhai frowned instantly when he heard this, his eyes were gloomy, and his displeasure was self-evident.

"Let's talk in the mansion."

Both master and servant said that Butler Lin reported the matter to Lin Ruhai in detail.

It was only after Lin Ruhai changed his official robe that he heard about Lai Nanny.

"This old slave greets my aunt, and my aunt is very well."

"Mammy Lai, get up. Uncle Cheng sits down for Mammy Lai."

"Thank you, Uncle."

"I don't know what's the matter with the nanny coming from Beijing, but what's the matter with the mother-in-law? The mother-in-law in Jingzhong is in good health, and the two uncles are well."

"Master Lao is concerned, the old lady, the first master, and the second master are all well."

"That's good."

Lin Ruhai greeted everyone in Jia's mansion as usual and asked some irrelevant questions. He didn't want to talk to an old servant woman, and he didn't want to give Nanny Lai a chance to talk about other things, so he changed the topic to Daiyu.

"Did Madam see Yu'er, I'll ask Nanny Lin to show you Yu'er, Nanny Lin..."

"My aunt, this old slave has something important to say." Seeing that Lin Ruhai wanted to dismiss her, Nanny Lai didn't care about interrupting Lin Ruhai's words without giving Lin Ruhai a chance to speak, so she said it eagerly.

"Grandpa, since my aunt left, our old lady has been very sad, and she is even more worried about the cousin girl. Now the cousin girl is still so small and fragile, and someone must take good care of her. The old lady is worried that outsiders will not take care of her." Meticulous, this outsider is no better than my own. For the sake of the cousin, the old lady has painstakingly selected a gentle and submissive girl... Don't worry, my aunt, Miss Mei is also a serious daughter-in-law. They are cousins, and they will definitely be able to take good care of my aunt and cousin for my aunt..."

Nanny Lai spoke quickly and exhausted Jia Shishi's painstaking efforts, explained the identity of the girl she brought, and spent a lot of words praising the Jia girl, as if Lin Ruhai refused, it would be disappointing Jia Shishi's painstaking efforts I'm sorry that the appearance of the girl from Jia's family made Lin Ruhai overwhelmed.

What made Lin Ruhai even more angry was that Jia's mother extended her hand too far to the Lin family, and even wanted to send another daughter of the Jia family to Lin Chu to pinch him. It made Lin Ruhai furious.

"Don't mention this matter again. Yu'er is my daughter-in-law. I have no shortage of slaves to take care of Yu'er in the Lin family. The Jia family girl is also the daughter of a gentry family. How can I let the Jia family girl take care of Yu'er? Mother-in-law's hard work Ru Hai Xin took it, but Ru Hai dared not delay Miss Jia's family."

Lin Ruhai said coldly, intentionally misinterpreting Nanny Lai's words, insisting that the girl from the Jia family was a servant who waited on her.

"My aunt, the old lady is your elder, and the elders can't deny the gift. How can my aunt live up to the painstaking efforts of the old lady?"

Lai Ma put on a posture of dissatisfaction, a gesture of reprimand.Lai Lai has been flattered in Jia's mansion for a long time, obviously she forgot that this is Lin's mansion, not Jia's mansion, and Lin Ruhai is not Jia Min's master of Jia's mansion. Like the descendants of the masters of the Jia family, they will still call her Lai Mama respectfully.

Nanny Lai's words, especially this aggressive posture, a slave dared to reprimand him, simply turned the world upside down, Nanny Lai completely angered Lin Ruhai

"Mother-in-law is indeed a good elder, but this is the Lin family, not the Jia family, and it is not up to the people of the Jia family to make decisions about my Lin family's affairs. If I get a girl from the Jia family, my Lin family can't afford it, and I dare not take it." If there is another one For a girl from the Jia family like Jia Min, wouldn't the Lin family have to cut off their incense?This uproar immediately reminded Lin Ruhai of Jia Min's evil deeds.

"My aunt?!" What does the girl from the Jia family dare not ask for, what does my aunt mean?Don't want the girl from Jia's family, is it true that the aunt and uncle who told Madam Liu are going to marry another woman?

"Don't say any more!" It's never my turn to talk to a slave about this matter, "Nurse Lin will send Nanny Lai to rest, and Uncle Cheng will arrange for someone to send Nanny Lai and Miss Jia to Beijing tomorrow."

Lin Ruhai put down his sleeves and left.

"Madam Lai, please."

The next day, Nanny Lai tried to persuade Lin Ruhai again but failed. Nanny Lai took the Jia girl she brought with her and left the Lin Mansion back to Beijing full of anxiety.
