[Red House] Li Changan

The room was very quiet, I could hear the sound of Daiyu pouring tea for Lin Ruxue, accompanied by the movement from the street and the backyard outside, there was a kind of relaxing afternoon, even the sunlight coming in from the window was unexpectedly appropriate.

In such an atmosphere, it is perfect for three or five friends to gather for tea.

It's a pity that the situation that Daiyu had hoped for never came true. In the Grand View Garden, she was always the most "unsocial" one, wandering around the edge all the time, as if she could leave that place at any time.

Now, she has really left, but she has never really been able to let go of those memories.

He raised his eyes to look at the woman sitting opposite, she looked only in her thirties, she had a lot of pearls and hairpins on her body, her features were pretty, and she had the arrogance of a literati.

In fact, Daiyu never thought that one day she would be able to return to Yangzhou, let alone that after she returned to Yangzhou, waves of surprises opened the door to her.

It's like, when she returned to Yangzhou, she accumulated all the good luck in the past here, and helped her fulfill the prayer in her heart little by little.

Daiyu smiled at Lin Ruxue. In fact, she didn't have much impression of Lin Ruxue, but in her few impressions, this aunt was a deviant person.

Back then, because of Lin Ruhai's transfer, they moved their family to Yangzhou. When they arrived in a new environment, Daiyu was naturally fresh, and she pestered Jia Min and Lin Ruhai every day, wanting to go to the street to have a look.

One day, guests came to the house, and there was a child who was older than her. It was Lin Ruxue's family who came to visit her brother through Yangzhou.

Lin Ruxue married Chu Chan, but was opposed by the Lin family back then.

How could a scholarly family with a dignified hereditary marquis allow their only daughter to marry a self-made businessman?Because of this matter, Mrs. Lin and Mr. Lin almost locked Lin Ruxue at home and refused to let her go.

However, Lin Ruxue had a lot of ideas since she was a child, and she didn't obey discipline. She has read a lot of poetry and books. She is a famous talented woman in Gusu, but deep down she hates etiquette and rules. be embarrassed.

In the past, the families of officials and eunuchs required continuous descendants. Lin Ruxue didn't want to have four or five children. If she didn't have children, her husband would have to give birth to others.

In this way, it took half a year to agree to the marriage with Chu Chan.

Lin Ruhai and his wife never mentioned these things in front of her, but when she and Chu Zining were playing around in the garden, the adults only treated them as young and ignorant, and they never avoided them when chatting.

No matter who it was back then, they all thought that Lin Ruxue was married, which was equivalent to marrying a white man.

"How has my aunt been all these years? Is everything going well with my uncle and the family?" After pouring a cup of tea for Lin Ruxue, Daiyu suppressed her thoughts and asked aloud, "My cousin was in a hurry just now, so it's not easy to ask. He these things."

Hearing that Lin Ruxue raised her eyes, and after taking a look at Daiyu, her originally serious expression became gentle.

It really looks like her ill-fated second sister-in-law, with a charming look.

"You look a lot like your mother, but not quite."

One sentence shattered Daiyu's composure just now, even though she was eloquent, she couldn't help but be speechless, she didn't know how to take this sentence.

The Lin Ruxue in front of her was different from what she remembered, the younger Lin Ruxue was more gentle, and now Lin Ruxue looked like a housewife.

Different from those wives in Jia's mansion, they are rich and honored in a comfortable environment, and they will never see those calculations and love for vanity.

Lowering her head, Daiyu slightly parted her lips and said, "Gu Gu's words—"

"Your mother is more open-minded than you. Even on the day when she is about to leave, the only regret in her heart is not being able to grow old with her second brother. Her feelings for her second brother can be seen from her willingness to marry far away to Gusu. "

Putting down the cup in her hand, Lin Ruxue swept across Daiyu's face, and sighed softly: "But you are different, you have lost the love of your parents since you were young, and you were trapped in Jia's house, so you are just like your mother." Food and wait, gold, silver and jade are piled up, but she lacks her indifference and has a little more heart."

So Daiyu looks very much like Jia Min, but not too much.

Back then, the Jia family allowed Jia Min to marry far away in Gusu for love, but now, in order to restore the family's prosperity, they did not hesitate to betroth Daiyu to an unmasked dude.

That's not what Jia's family said when they came to attend the funeral.

"Mother is mother, I am me."

Hearing this, Lin Ruxue laughed, with relief flashing in her eyes.

Ever since she found out that Li Changan and Daiyu were engaged, she had been thinking that Daiyu hadn't returned for many years, and now that she came back, she might have many worries in her heart.

Not only worried about the marriage with the Li family, but also worried about the Lin family.

As for the affairs of Jia's mansion, there was Chu Zining, who was on good terms with Li Changan, and as a mother, she could get a general idea of ​​that stubborn son with a few tricks.

What's more, even if you don't follow Chu Zining's stereotypes, just because Jia's mansion can make the decision to let Daiyu marry Li Changan, you can think about what life Daiyu lived in Jia's mansion.

Others don't understand, how can the old lady of Jia's mansion not know the function of this marriage?

The old lady Jia has held the power of the Jia family for many years, and she is worried about everything inside and outside. She occasionally turns a blind eye and lets the younger generation mess around. It is just a trick, and in the eyes of her old man, it is just a trivial matter. thing.

With this thought, if you really love Daiyu, can you still send Daiyu here?

"It's good that you understand that the second sister-in-law is not you, so you don't have to compare with her. Her husband is your father, and your husband is a foregone conclusion. Just thinking about how to manage your life like your mother Why don't you find another way and think about it carefully, who is Li Jia Erlang."

Daiyu looked at Lin Ruxue in surprise, just in time to see the doting smile on Lin Ruxue's face, she was in a daze for a moment, as if she saw the way Lin Ruhai looked at her when she came home from work.

She is her, and it can only be herself.

original……

"Daiyu understands what my aunt said."

"You didn't grow up with us since you were a child, and my mother also felt that I owed you. Gusu knew about your marriage with Li Jia Erlang this time. I'm afraid I will go to Yangzhou tomorrow. I am in a hurry, and I don't know what to prepare for." Whether something is to your liking, you—”

Does everyone in Gusu know?Daiyu was even more surprised. Could it be that someone deliberately passed on this matter?

Inexplicably, I thought of a person in my mind, tall and tall, always with a three-point smile when speaking, a little unscrupulous, but unexpectedly reassuring.

"You all know?"

"Mother is inconvenient to go out. Your uncle and aunt probably asked your elder brother to send you something."

Smiling at Lin Ruxue, Daiyu nodded: "It's hard for aunt to come to the inn at this time, but there will be someone from the Li family coming later, aunt will stay longer?"

But Lin Ruxue shook her head and got up to leave.

Seeing this, Daiyu got up and sent Lin Ruxue out, she was a little puzzled and said, "Auntie—"

"You are here. I am your aunt. I should come to see you. If there are other things, I am here to make decisions for you, lest you be bullied, but now it is about marriage. I In the end, marrying out, I have intervened in the matter of you meeting the sister of the Li family, lest someone will make a fuss about it in the future and say you are wrong."

Daiyu didn't understand the matter of marriage, but she was always smart. With such a reminder, she immediately understood what Lin Ruxue meant. She was thinking about her, and it wasn't that she didn't give people a chance to arrange her.

For those who marry far away, without the support of their natal family, if they encounter an injustice, there is no way to complain, but if they have not yet married, they will find an aunt who is already married to support them, fearing that the other party will leave a knot in their hearts.

Nodding, she helped Lin Ruxue out the door, glanced at Xueyan and Zijuan who hadn't had time to hide their worries outside the door, and said with a broken smile, "Go in and clean up, don't let anyone take my shorts."

"Yes, let's go in right away." The two of them hurried in after hearing Daiyu's words.

The two of them were outside the door just now, they couldn't hear anything, and it was quiet inside, occasionally they could hear voices but couldn't make out what they were saying, which made the two of them tense for a while, fearing that Lin Ruxue wouldn't get along well and Daiyu would be wronged.

"You two servant girls are loyal."

"Snow geese have been with me since childhood, Zijuan..." Daiyu lowered her eyes: "She is the second-class maid by my grandmother's side. After I left, she was sent to serve me by my side, and she has been serving her for many years."

Seeing Daiyu's expression, a trace of displeasure flashed in Lin Ruxue's eyes.

After hesitating for a while, he said, "I heard that there is an evil person in the Rongguo Mansion, who is playful by nature, laughs and jokes with his sisters all day long, and is one year older than you, but there is such a person?"

"...that's the second elder brother of the second uncle's family." It had been a long time since anyone mentioned Jia Baoyu, and Daiyu heard the unkindness in Lin Ruxue's tone, and hurriedly said, "Now he has been forced into the school by his uncle."

Hearing that Lin Ruxue's expression softened slightly, she stood outside Daiyu's gate and winked at the nurse next to her: "This thing is for you, it's my aunt's wish."

"This--"

"It's not expensive, and it's not a rare thing, but it's a sincere request. Your brother also has one. It was obtained in the temple after a year."

When Daiyu heard this, she nodded and took the things: "Thank you, Auntie."

"This thing of mine is nothing compared to the jade bracelet on your wrist. Sister Li has told me about it many times since we met. Brother Jing's wife has one, but the one on your wrist is another."

For some reason, Daiyu heard some jokes from Lin Ruxue's words, she blushed immediately, and pulled her sleeve to cover the jade bracelet.

Her aunt's eyes are really sharp, she can see everything at a glance, even her thoughts.

Lin Ruxue smiled: "Look, I've made it right for you, okay, okay, I can go, or I won't be able to tell when I meet my future in-laws later."

"Auntie!" Daiyu said angrily, "Why do you make fun of me by saying that?"

"It would be great if the second brother could see you get married."

That is the person who loves Daiyu the most in this world.
