Red Mansion: No Empty House Fight

Now that she has assumed the title of the heir of the Lin family, Lin Qi will finish the matter of going to Beijing.Not only the gifts from the members of the Jia family, but also the gifts from Lin Hai's colleagues in the same year must be selected together.This is not only for Lin Hai, but also for Daiyu who really thinks of him as her brother!If these people answered correctly, they would become Daiyu's connections in the future.

In addition, it is the daily things and entourage of the two.He is a man, and the main people are given by Lin Hai, but most of the people around Daiyu are left by Jia Min.Although the people from the Lin family were not outstanding, they were better than the people Jia Min brought from the Jia family.Lin Hai's original configuration for Daiyu was a nanny and a girl, that is, Nanny Wang and Xueyan in the original book.

On this basis, Lin Qi added four big maids, four second-class maids, and a nanny in charge who was trained by Lin Hai's mother and was left idle by Jia Min.Daily necessities are also replaced with those that can only be used in Chongxiao.The plain clothes made the girls in the sewing room work day and night to make two sets for each person.After all, both of them are growing their bodies, and it's useless to do too much.

Then there is silver.Lin Qi wanted to leave the Lin family wholeheartedly, and for the Jia family, she wanted to hide even more unwillingly.It's just that the situation is stronger than others. In order not to be controlled by others and make everything uncomfortable, Lin Qi brought enough money.

There is also the residence of the Lin family in Beijing, which is actually the residence of the princes granted to the Lin family by the royal family. Because Lin Hai was a high school student, the Lin family was allowed to continue to hold the residence.However, according to the original book, six years after Lin Hai died of illness in Yangzhou, the mansion would be taken back by the royal family.Lin Qi intended to use the mansion as a place to stay for six years, so she ordered people to go to Beijing to repair the mansion.

On the day when he arrived in Dengzhou, Lin Hai gave many instructions to Daiyu, and also sternly demanded to Lin Qi that he should not be lax and lazy, so he did not elaborate on them one by one.According to the rules, Lin Qi and Jia Lian were supposed to be on the same boat, but Jia Lian had other thoughts in his heart, so he drove Lin Qi to the boat with Daiyu, while he played with the pink boy.

If it was only Daiyu who went to Beijing alone, I am afraid that Daiyu would not find out that her mother's natal family, who had been thinking so much about her, had fun with fans when her bones were still cold, but now that there is one more Lin Qi, naturally she would not fight with her. For Daiyu's good banner to cover up all kinds of dirty things.

Daiyu was served by an old man from the Lin family, and naturally he was very dissatisfied with the oppression by the Jia family over the years.Seeing Jia Lian's situation, Daiyu couldn't stop crying, and couldn't help but mourn for her mother, and her closeness to Jia's family also faded a lot.Lin Qi asked the son of the Lin family to say to Daiyu, "Although they are in-laws, they are two families".He also said, "Maybe it's just Lian's second cousin who is young and inexperienced" "The rest of the Jia family will definitely not be like this" and so on.

After hearing this, Daiyu felt relieved and looked forward to the rest of Jia's family.This is actually Lin Qi's idea of ​​promoting first and then suppressing, so that the higher Daiyu's expectations for Jia's family, the higher her disappointment, so that she will not be pinched by Jia's family in the future and still have her heart towards Jia's family.

Entering Beijing at the end of winter, the north wind is still like a knife.Lin Qi simply asked someone to carry the sedan chair onto the boat, got on the sedan chair directly on the boat, and let the bearer carry it down.

It's not that Lin Qi doesn't understand the difficulties of the bearers.Don't say that these people just eat this bowl of rice, just say that he and Daiyu are just two weak seven-year-old children, and they don't weigh much.Therefore, the people who came to greet Jia's family only saw two sedan chairs that were tightly covered.

When she arrived at Rongning Street, Lin Qi didn't struggle with the corner door or the side door, but after the sedan chair went all the way into the inner courtyard, she asked the two people to get off the sedan chair when they reached the Chuihua Gate.

Lin Qi got out of the sedan chair gracefully, but she didn't take care of Daiyu behind her - Daiyu had four girls, four girls and eight maids to take care of her, and she didn't need him to make trouble.

But he said that the person who came to greet him was from Zhou Rui's family, and he wanted to say something, but when he saw the plain clothes of the brother and sister, he didn't know what to say.

It stands to reason that although the Hundred Days of Filial Piety has already been celebrated at this time, it is still not the Chinese New Year, so there is no problem for the two brothers and sisters to dress like this.And for the visit, he didn't directly wear filial piety clothes, but just plain clothes to show respect to Jia's family.It's just that the two brothers and sisters are dressed in plain clothes, and the Lin family's servants behind them all wear dark or very light-colored clothes. Compared with the Jia family, especially the group of girls in Rongqingtang who love to wear red and green, It really makes people feel uncomfortable.

From the corner of her eye, Lin Qi saw that Daiyu's complexion was turning pale when she saw these servants dressed in unassuming clothes, so she raised her hand: "You are young, so I shouldn't have said it. It's just that my brother and sister are filial." Although it is a relative of the family, there is no need to avoid taboos, but the old lady is there! It would be bad if there is a collision. And if the old lady is sad for no reason, don’t say that our brother and sister came to Beijing Wouldn't it be contrary to the original intention to be filial on behalf of the mother?"

"Uncle Lin wait a moment, wait for the slaves to ask the old lady for instructions." Zhou Rui's family didn't make up their minds for the master, but asked Lin Qi and Daiyu to wait a while, and went back and said Lin Qi's words.It's just because she is Wang's formula but not Jia Shi's confidant, so there is no mention of the clothes of the siblings.

Since Jia Shishi didn't know Lin Qi and Daiyu's plain clothes, and listened to Lin Qi's cautious and courteous words of respect everywhere, he stuck a fragrant wooden cane: "This kid is very polite, but he said it himself. They are relatives of the family, so how can there be so many vain gifts? Call someone in quickly, don't freeze my good granddaughter to death!"

Because of the delay in the middle, the two brothers and sisters lifted the curtain and entered the main hall of Rongqing Hall. Before they had passed the screen at the entrance, they heard a burst of laughter coming from far and near, which turned out to be the same as in the original book. Wang Xifeng bumped into each other.

Seeing the two brothers and sisters at the screen, Wang Xifeng was taken aback for a moment, then laughed again, and went up to hold Daiyu's hand, and led Daiyu into the inner hall: "Old ancestor, don't think I came late. ! I brought in the person on your heart!"

"You naughty temper!" Jia Shishi scolded Wang Xifeng with a smile, but he was somewhat satisfied with Wang Xifeng in his heart.If Wang Xifeng hadn't interrupted when he came in, I'm afraid no one would feel at ease when Lin Qi and Daiyu appeared in plain clothes.

Lin Qi followed behind without entering the screen, and she would not feel uneasy because she was standing in a group of girls in red and green in plain clothes.Your Jia family doesn’t give the deceased aunt a small service, and the child of the deceased aunt is picked up by Baba and doesn’t know how to wear plain clothes to hide it!Anyway, it's not the brothers and sisters who have no rules, so what's so uncomfortable?

"Why didn't your brother come in?"

"My brother said that men and women have different seats at the age of seven. Although they are elders, they are female relatives, so it is good to meet behind the screen." Lin Daiyu's heart towards Jia's family is almost cold at this moment.It's just that Lin Qiqian had warned Lin Daiyu not to break the rules before, so she still answered Jiamu's question respectfully.

"I just said that he is a sensible person, but this is a bit of an overkill! Tell him to come in! We are all a family, and we will see each other often in the future!"

But Daiyu didn't want to hear Mother Jia say that Lin Qi was not good, so she replied in a soft voice: "Grandmother don't talk about elder brother, it's not because father taught me every day! Brother, because of father's teaching, every word and deed They are all measured by a ruler. My father said that although I have been taught such rules since I was a child, although it seems rigid, as long as my brother grows up, he will have the bearing of a child of an aristocratic family."

Jia Shishi didn't take these words very seriously, but it slightly touched the heartstrings of Wang Xifeng and Wang Shi.But when Lin Qi came in, Daiyu stopped talking, stood with Lin Qi, and respectfully kowtowed to Jia Shishi.After that, Lin Qi, as the heir of the Lin family, asked people to bring in the gift boxes for everyone.

First the gift for Jia Shishi, and then the gift for the two aunts.When Mrs. Xing saw that Lin Qi opened the two boxes and brought the obviously higher-grade box to Mrs. Wang on the upper right, she couldn't help twisting the handkerchief in her hand.

Lin Qi came in front of Mrs. Wang and bowed: "This must be the eldest aunt, nephew is very polite!" After saying that, she counted out the gifts in the box like she had just given to Jia Shishi and presented them one by one.

It's just that Wang Xifeng didn't know what to think of, and she smiled and said: "Cousin Lin is wrong, this is your second aunt! Your first aunt is here!"

In this dynasty, the right is respected.Lin Qi looked confused and then said apologetically: "It's my nephew who was abrupt. If so, many of the items in this box are prepared at the level of the first aunt, and I really can't honor the second aunt."

Then there was a salute, and the box was handed over to Mrs. Xing: "Don't blame my nephew for being stupid, Auntie!"

"No wonder, no wonder!" Mrs. Xing got the gift and overwhelmed Mrs. Wang, naturally she could only smile.And although Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and hated Lin Qi's slap in the face, she could only smile and say, "Because my sister-in-law doesn't often come to my mother's place, I sat where I used to sit."

Lin Qi didn't care about the cleverness in Wang's words, and gave gifts to Wang Xifeng and Li Wan respectively, before turning around and handing her hands together: "The rest are for the girls and men of your mansion, I just don't know..."

"Go and invite the girls!" Mother Jia saw that there were still gifts, but she didn't stop her. She was very happy because Lin Hai's gift was given well and she wanted it, so she ordered, "As for the men, I will leave it to you, Lian Er." Sister-in-law and second aunt are just fine. They are not usually in front of my eyes, but Baoyu often comes to honor my lonely old woman."

Lin Qi saw that Jia Shishi had spoken, so she opened the box to show the gifts for the Jia family and men of her own generation.The most expensive gift was for Jia Lian, followed by Jia Lan, Baoyu's gift was only slightly better than Jia Cong's, and Jia Huan's last.
