[Red House] But for the sake of the king

On the day of Jia She's birthday, Lin Ruhai took Jia Min and Daiyu to the Rongguo Mansion for a banquet.Lin Heng was still too young, and Jia Min was afraid that he might make a mistake, so he never took it with him.They arrived before the banquet, so Lin Ruhai naturally went to the study outside to talk to the two brothers-in-law. Jia Min led Daiyu who was being hugged by the nanny, followed by the girls, and went to greet Jia Mu.

Now that Mother Jia is getting old, she likes her granddaughter very much when she sees her. After teasing her for a while, she ordered someone to bring some fruit cakes for her to eat.Daiyu accepted the fruit obediently, but didn't eat it, just held it in her hand and played with it.Mother Jia saw that she was cute and cute, and there was a shadow of Jia Min when she was a child, so she liked her more and more.Not long after, a little girl reported in, "Baoyu is here."

As soon as the words were finished, Jia Min saw a fiery villain coming in from the door, ran to his eyes, and threw himself into Jia Mu's arms, acting like a spoiled child, "Grandson pays respects to our ancestors."

Jia's mother smiled and hugged him, "Oh, my old bones can't withstand your collision like this. How many times have I told you that you are still young and your feet are unsteady, so you dare not run so fast. Please give your mother a peace of mind. ? Get up quickly and see your aunt."

Only then did Baoyu realize that there was an outsider there, so he stood up quickly to have a look, and saw that there was indeed a beautiful woman sitting beside her.So he hurriedly saluted and said hello, "Nephew has seen aunt."

Seeing Zhou Zheng, who was born to him, Jia Min also felt distressed, and took him into her arms, "It's so big, it's only been a year, and it's a lot taller. It's strange that my mother loves her so much, she looks like a smart boy." Yes. The eyebrows are actually more like a father than the two elder brothers, and they will definitely have great promise in the future."

Jia Mu's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she said, "That's right, among these children and grandchildren, he is the one who is like your father."

Seeing that her mother was thinking of something sad, Jia Min hurried away, "Speaking of which, Daiyu hasn't seen this cousin yet. She didn't see her when she came last month, so I don't know what she was up to. Daiyu Come, meet your cousin."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "I went to his uncle's house, Baoyu, go and see your sister Lin."

Daiyu was sitting alone on the edge of the Kang, playing with her back to everyone.At this moment, when she heard her mother calling her, she turned around slowly.Seeing that he was about to fall off the kang, the nurse who was protecting him hurriedly caught him in her arms.Daiyu was not frightened either, but she found it interesting and giggled.Attracted by the laughter, Baoyu turned his head to look at this little doll carved in powder and jade.He has never seen a few dolls younger than him, and the only one he can see at home is the third sister, but it's a pity that his mother doesn't let him see it.It's just that the third younger sister is not as good-looking as this doll. This little face is white, more tender than tofu, and her little mouth is redder, redder than the rouge of maids and sisters.

Jia Min took Daiyu from the nanny, and was teaching her to call her cousin, but she didn't expect Daiyu to go straight to Baoyu.With a wave of the little hand, there was a snap, crisp and clear, which frightened everyone in the room.Everyone in Jia's family didn't know that Baoyu was the lifeblood of the old lady, and there could be no mistakes.This Miss Cousin is also a bit too powerful, she got started the first time she saw her, she has such great strength at such a young age, this sound made them feel pain.

That Baoyu was also stunned, and stood there motionless.Jia's mother shouted sharply, "It's impossible to die. Why don't you hurry up and pull Baoyu over to have a look. My darling, is it broken? If such a handsome face is broken, what should I do? You are still stunned." What are you doing, hurry up and find a good plaster, the one left by Doctor Wang last time."

Jia Min was a little embarrassed, since this happened to the child for the first time, she was a bit embarrassed as a mother.It's just that Daiyu was not brought up by her, and she is surrounded by old ladies, so it's not easy for her to say harsh words.Anyway, it's my family, and it's over after a while to coax Baoyu.But I didn't expect my mother to be so precious to Baoyu. Although these few words didn't say anything about Daiyu, they just made people panic.She had no choice but to smile apologetically, "Mother, don't worry, Yuer's children don't know what to do, and their hands are weak, how could it be so serious."

Mother Jia glanced at her, "They are all mothers, why are you still talking like this. The skin of a child is so delicate, how can it stand up to beating. You should also talk about Yu'er, why did you start your hands first, She doesn't look like a lady. Don't look at her young age, people say that she looks old at three years old, if she doesn't correct herself now, she will become more and more difficult to discipline in the future."

The smile on Jia Min's face froze, never did her mother say such harsh words to her, and now she was clearly talking about Daiyu, but it was not that she, as a mother, failed to teach her children well.But my mother also knew about Daiyu being raised by the old lady, she said today, if the nanny and maids go back and talk too much, wouldn't she be the one who suffers?

Baoyu was relieved at this moment, and he just stared at Daiyu blindly, asking her, "Does my sister's hands hurt?"

At present, from Jia's mother to the servant girls standing underground, all of them are smiling.There is such an idiot in the world, when he is beaten, he still thinks about whether the hand of the person who beat him hurts or not.Even Jia Min was amused by him, but he couldn't help but look down on him in his heart. He had a good skin, but he was so confused inside.My mother also said that it is not easy to teach Baoyu when she is three years old.Grabbing a handful of makeup hairpins by Zhou Zhou is already enough to provoke a lot of discussion in the market. If he really becomes that vulgar and lecherous person in the future, it will really damage the reputation of Rongguo Mansion.Daiyu didn't care about him, and returned to the nurse's arms, playing with the tassels on the underside of the black jade on her chest.That guy was staring at her all the time, definitely not a nice guy.Dad said that men other than dad and younger brother are not good people, and Yu'er can't let them see or talk to them.Although Xiao Daiyu didn't understand what "men are not good people", she followed Lin Ruhai's instructions and drove away the bad guy who was staring at her.

Mother Jia laughed for a while, and seemed to feel that what she said earlier was inappropriate. After all, I still have something to ask my uncle, and I have to let my daughter speak up. I can't get knotted at this time.Because I ordered the nanny to take the two children to play in the green gauze cabinet, people should be careful, so that nothing happens again.

After they had all gone out, Mother Jia took Jia Min's hand and said, "I was a little anxious just now. Your nephew has an extraordinary background and looks like your father. I will inevitably favor him more. Don't take it to heart." .Why don’t you bring Brother Heng over here today, I haven’t seen him before.”

Jia Min laughed and said, "What did mother say? Why are we mothers talking about this? Yu'er is a bit reckless, but you also know that those who follow are old ladies, so I can't say anything. If They passed it back, maybe they said I was wrong, it seemed like I blamed my mother-in-law for not being able to raise children. Brother Heng is so young, how could he dare to take him out, and usually just let the nanny hold him Just basking in the sun in the yard. Now the sun is getting more and more poisonous, and I dare not let him out of the house."

Jia's mother said, "You're too careful. Children are always in the wind, so it's not good to stay in the room all day. With such a brother, the baby is natural, but you can't pamper him too much." Jia The mother gave birth to three brothers and sisters, so she naturally has experience.It's just that she forgot that Jia Min is not like Jia Min when she treats Baoyu now, she is careful not to make mistakes, even if she runs fast.

"My daughter has been educated." Jia Min also felt a little sad. "This is the first child I have raised by myself, so I am somewhat cautious. Fortunately, Daiyu also likes Brother Heng. She came to me to see him every day. My wife doesn't stop her very much, and we can see her mother and daughter from time to time."

"It can be seen that it is the benefit of having a brother. Now your mother-in-law can no longer find a reason to arrange you. I think it is much better for you. I have persuaded you a long time ago, and now I can see the benefits. The Lin family has saved it for several lifetimes. It would be a real pity if someone else took your family property." Jia Mu suddenly praised Lin Ruhai, "My uncle is also a good one, and it is rare for an official of this age to reach the first rank. It's your luck, I stopped your father from making this marriage, but it was destined by God to let you be a first-class imperial order."

Speaking of this, Jia Min was naturally a little proud, "Whatever my mother said, my master's success today is not entirely dependent on the Holy Spirit. I don't care about my daughter who is ordered or not, as long as the family is harmonious and beautiful, a woman is satisfied. "

Mother Jia didn't know what was going on in her mind, and she didn't expose it, and then she went on to talk about business, "Now that you have a brother, and my uncle has been promoted again, you are naturally happy. I only pity your second brother, who has been working for several years. This is just such an idle job. Now Zhuer intends to use the imperial examination to make a fortune, but she can't find a way. Your eldest brother has a hereditary title, so I don't worry about it. Let him make trouble. It's just your second brother. In this way, even if I go, I won’t be relieved. When I go down in the future, how will I explain to your father.”

Only then did Jia Min turn the corner. The sentimental mother wanted her master to make plans for her second brother and Zhu'er.It is not a big deal to say that the help of in-laws is not a big deal, let alone with the current official position of the master, and he is in the official department, the transfer of officials is not a matter of one sentence, because he said, "Mother, don't want to do this. What a shameful daughter. The two elder brothers have already married and established businesses, and the daughter is now a son and daughter, so how dare you bother her mother to worry. You just eat and drink well, and have fun with your grandchildren in your free time. The imperial examination is a matter of the imperial court For important matters, my daughter dare not say anything. But if it is the second elder brother, now the master is in charge of the official department, so I can't help the second elder brother."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "No, I'm old now, and I don't have the strength to care about their trash. It's over to guard Baoyu anyway. They provide delicious food and drink. I just close my eyes and enjoy the happiness. "

Lin Ruhai congratulated Jia She earlier, but was complimented by him instead.Although it was a bit straightforward and vulgar, Lin Ruhai felt that it was much better than Jia Zheng's hesitant appearance.Jia Zheng was used to being flattered by others. He always listened to flattery and rarely said anything himself.Now it is really embarrassing for him to say compliments to his sister-in-law.Fortunately, after listening to a lot, the words are very familiar, and I have to say a few words with a shy face for the sake of my son.

Lin Ruhai listened to what he meant, but he didn't want Jia Zhu to take the imperial examination again, but wanted to imitate Jia Lian.Although Jia Lian's errand was arranged by his uncle, because of his close relationship with the Lin family, many people speculated that it was related to him.However, the reason why he didn't intervene was because Jia Lian was arranged by his uncle, and the second was because he didn't want to get too involved with the Jia family.It's fine if it's a normal relationship between relatives, once it gets involved in the conflict of interests, if Jia's family is not protected in the future, it might even involve the Lin family.Even if he had the intention to mention Jia Lian, it seemed that Jia Min would drag Ning Rong and the Second House to save face, but if he hurt the Lin family because of this, it was absolutely unacceptable.

Yin persuaded, "It is reasonable to say that this is not a big deal. My nephew has this talent. First, I will get a moderate official position, and then I will join the ministry and study. It will be beneficial in the future. It is just that it is better to come from the imperial examination, Yue Zhang At that time, I was looking forward to the children of the family to study and improve. Alas, brother-in-law, don’t worry, wait for me to finish. This year is the [-]th birthday of the Supreme Emperor. The emperor has a big plan, so he must open Enke. The test will start in September , the imperial decree will be issued around the beginning of next month. It’s better to ask my nephew to try again. If it really doesn’t work, then find another way, I don’t know what my brother-in-law thinks.”

Jia Zhengxi said, "I don't want to have Enke again, since it is so rare, I have to let him try again. I said that this imperial examination is not easy, so Zhu'er can rest assured and wait for the next one. It's just that he is young and aggressive. When I was at home, I was holding it all day long, and I was a little depressed last time. I think my sister-in-law is someone who has experienced it, and I will ask my sister-in-law for advice in the future, so he is lucky."

This is not a problem, and Lin Ruhai also agreed simply, "Brother-in-law, you are being polite, thanks for your love. Now that I am troubled by paperwork, I have not concentrated on learning for a long time. It is also beneficial for me to learn from the juniors."

Jia Zheng hurriedly said that he was too self-effacing, etc., and skipped it.At that time, Jia Zhen and other clansmen all came together, and a banquet was held.The men are in the front, and the women are in the compartment through the screen.From a distance, I called the little troupe to play there, just to have fun.The older Jia's mother is, the more she likes to be lively. Seeing her children and grandchildren wrapping around her knees, she feels that she is very lucky.

Daiyu struggled to get off the ground, sneaked around the screen, and ran to find Lin Ruhai.She has small ears and sharp ears, and she has heard her father's voice outside, and she wants to go to him whenever she finds an opportunity.Jia Min waited in a hurry and shouted to stop the child. The nurse knew that she had been negligent, and let the young lady take advantage of the loophole, and hurried to chase after him.There was a commotion among the male guests outside when they heard this, and they told what happened, and then they saw a female doll slipping out from the side of the screen.Fortunately, Daiyu is young now, and they are all relatives of his own family, so Lin Ruhai smiled and took her into his arms, and asked the nanny to take care of her when she went back.Lin Ruhai taught her to recognize people one by one, from uncle to cousin, and nephews like Jia Rong.Although young, his seniority is quite old.Daiyu didn't recognize her life, so she imitated her father and called everyone at the table over and over again.

Baoyu was originally sitting with Jia Mu at the back. Seeing Daiyu coming out, he begged the old ancestor in every way to let him go to the mat outside.This younger sister was born pretty, and she looked like a flower when she smiled, so he liked it.Jia Mu couldn't bear his troubles, and she let him out because she ordered the nurse to take him with her and told the men outside not to instigate Baoyu to drink.

As soon as Baoyu came, Daiyu lost her smiling face, thinking that this annoying ghost is really annoying. She has hid here with her father, but she can still follow her. It's really hateful.It's a pity that she had no choice but to sulking in her father's arms.Lin Ruhai only said that she was bored, and asked her if she wanted to go back and play later.Daiyu just clung to his arms without making a sound, and Lin Ruhai had no choice but to let her go.

That Baoyu had his father, so he would not dare to make a mistake, and sister Lin refused to look at him, and after a while she felt bored, and turned back resentfully without mentioning it.

Not long after, someone from the Lin family came, saying that someone from the palace had come, and asked the master to quickly enter the palace to meet the saint.Lin Ruhai was displeased in his heart, he had made excuses to let him go to another hospital a few times ago, but now he used such a method.On the contrary, everyone in the Jia family paid more and more attention to Lin Ruhai because of this, not just anyone can enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit, and Lin Ruhai's calm expression shows that he often goes there.

The host greeted the guests enthusiastically, and Jia Min didn't worry about it at all. Anyway, his master would receive an imperial decree to go to the palace to discuss matters every now and then, which was a great honor.At this time, in front of the relatives of her natal family, she felt proud.Only Daiyu was sent back to Jia Min, and not far away was Jia Baoyu, who was eyeing him, feeling sad.With a small movement of her body, she actually turned her butt towards the crowd and buried her face in Jia Min's arms, causing the crowd to burst into laughter.
