[Red House] But for the sake of the king

On the second day, after the morning court, Lin Ruhai really found a reason to face the saint alone.Jun Qi pulled him to sit on the kang, and asked him, "But it's about Jiangxi Liangdao? Didn't you just say that this matter is settled like this."

Lin Ruhai shook his head, and replied, "It's not about this matter, just, I just want to ask, how do you plan to deal with that Xue family?"

Jun Qi thought about it, and smiled, "But they turned a corner and came to you? It doesn't look stupid, it's just Xue Shao's own sin, and there is such a son, even if I don't bother them, I want to come The Xue family will also fall into the hands of that Xue Pan. Besides, Xue Jie has already made a career, and the Xue family does not need it on the surface. The deeper the foundation of such a family, the more rotten things in it. The more there are, the better it is to kill the weeds as soon as possible."

Lin Ruhai said, "In this way, I feel relieved. They haven't come to the door yet, and they should learn to be good after learning the lesson from last time. It's just that Yu'er went to Jia's mansion again, and the young lady in their house intended to cling to Yu'er last time." , I might not know how to disturb her this time."

Jun Qi said, "You too, why bother to let Yu'er always go there? Many people say that the two stone lions at the entrance of Jia's mansion are cleaner, so they don't have to tarnish such a delicate figure as Yu'er. But according to what you mean, Xue This girl is really more than a hundred times stronger than her brother, I really don't know how she came out of a belly and has the same upbringing."

Lin Ruhai sighed, "Who knows. It's just that at this age, and living as a guest in Jia's mansion, the whole family can't help but praise her. It shows that she is superior. Yu'er is careful and petite, so I'm afraid of her." I feel uncomfortable."

Jun Qi said, "How can there be such a thing, she is just the daughter of a merchant, how can she be compared with Yu'er. Hey, you came here today just for this matter, it's not like you. Tell me, isn't it? If there's anything else you can't say, why are you being hypocritical here?"

Lin Ruhai's breath was stagnant, he hesitated for a while, and then told the whole thing.Jun Qi was so frightened when he heard that, he patted his forehead and said, "It's strange to say that it seems to have forgotten something. I remembered it before returning to Beijing, but why did I forget it? What you meant last time, old lady, should be I knew it a long time ago, so I wanted to express my opinion, since the old lady also has the same intention, I will just go to your house tomorrow."

Lin Ruhai didn't want him to agree so quickly, she didn't know what to say, she just looked at Jun Qi blankly.Seeing him like this, Jun Qi just found it funny, and couldn't help laughing for a while, which made Lin Ruhai confused.

Here Daiyu took four maids and nurse Ding Shi, and took her own car to Jia's mansion.Although my grandmother loves her very much, and there are several sisters-in-law and sisters who are still close friends, but the thought of Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun, and now there is another Xue Baochai, is really a headache.

To say that the Yuanjia road is narrow, so many times, but today I bumped into the car picking up Shi Xiangyun at the door.It wasn't a big deal at first, but there was a reason, because Daiyu brought a lot of people and things, so Tang corps specially asked her to bring her big cart here.That was Yipin Gaoming's carriage, and Shi Xiangyun's carriage was just an ordinary household carriage, so if they were put together like this, the judgment would be judged.There are many concubines and orders coming and going in Jia's house on weekdays, the gatekeepers naturally know which door to open when they see what kind of car, so Daiyu's car enters through the middle gate, while Shi Xiangyun is led to the corner gate.

Sitting in the car, Daiyu naturally didn't know these things, but Shi Xiangyun couldn't sit still, so he secretly lifted the curtain to take a look, and saw a big carriage with eight treasures and red tassels passing by and entering through the middle door.She thought it was a wife from some other family who came to visit, but she heard Mrs. Zhou say from the side, "It's so angry, it really belongs to the Lin family."

Shi Xiangyun squinted his ears, and quickly asked, "What did mother say, it's from the Lin family?"

Nanny Zhou replied, "My sister saw the car just now. I saw the lanterns of the Lin Mansion hanging on the corner. It seems that the old lady of the Lin family used her own carriage to bring her girl here. After a few days For the sake of the old lady here, Ms. Lin is also coming."

When Shi Xiangyun heard this, he was not happy. Why did she come to visit relatives? If Lin Daiyu could enter through the middle gate, she would go through the corner gate?I didn't pay attention to these things in the past, but this time I ran into them, but I was very angry.Fortunately, after a few words of persuasion from Mrs. Zhou, Shi Xiangyun understood that Su Xing is not a person who cares about every detail, and he put this matter behind him when he saw the sisters when he was happy.

When Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun arrived, Jia Baoyu was undoubtedly the happiest.I saw him looking at Daiyu, not daring to speak easily, and was dragged by Shi Xiangyun to say a lot.Yingchun and Tanchun thanked them for the things they had sent before, and asked why they hadn't come for so long, Daiyu casually said a few words, and said that the family was busy, so she didn't mention it.Everyone also knows that she is always very busy, and she doesn't care too much about learning this or that.On the contrary, Li Wan secretly thanked him again, naturally for Jia Lan's generous gift.

At that moment Xue Baochai also came, and Shi Xiangyun took her to talk about interesting things at home, so that Lin Daiyu would not be socialized with her.It's a pity that Jia Baoyu looked at the sky and leaned forward, and asked in a low voice, "Sister Lin was in a bad mood a few days ago, no matter how many times she invited her, she still didn't come. I left a lot of things for you to play with, and I'll give them to you later." How about sending it?"

Daiyu opened the distance inadvertently, took Yingchun's hand and said with a smile, "Second sister, look at my cousin, he is actually a curse person with a red mouth and white teeth. Although I was born thinner, I followed my mother. How can I be a Are you sick? Speaking of playing, I don’t know if my cousin will keep the things I sent earlier, and I don’t know what the man likes. Yours was originally chosen by Henger. How old is he younger than you? I don’t know if the choice is to your liking.”

Baoyu thought it was Lin Daiyu who chose it on purpose, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little disconcerted, and didn't understand what Daiyu meant, so he just replied, "It's hard for Sister Lin to remember me. The things look very fresh, and I let Xiren collect them." Woke up."

Daiyu said lightly, "It's just some playthings, as long as my cousin likes it." Then she turned to chat with Yingchun and the others.

When Baoyu saw her like this, he lost interest for a moment, and just sat aside sullenly and said nothing.Xue Baochai was dealing with Shi Xiangyun, and he had to pay attention to Baoyu's actions all the time, and he had to pay attention to Lin Daiyu, wanting to take the opportunity to come forward and say hello.Now that she has something to ask for, since Lin Daiyu doesn't come to greet her, she can only lower her figure to accommodate Lin Daiyu.Thanks to Xue Baochai, apart from her, among these few people, there is probably no one else who has the ability to do three things with one heart.

When Mrs. Wang came in, all the sisters stood up to say hello, and Fang sat down again.Mrs. Wang had something to go back, and it was inconvenient for the young sisters to hear, so she drove them to the warm pavilion behind to talk.

After the sisters had left, Mother Jia asked, "Has the imperial doctor been here?"

Mrs. Wang replied, "I just got a pulse when I came here. My daughter-in-law congratulated the old lady. Miss Feng is very happy."

Jia Mu laughed immediately, "Amitabha, it really is a great happy event, I just said that she is like that, it can't be wrong. Did the imperial doctor tell you anything?"

Mrs. Wang replied, "It's nothing else, the only thing is, Feng girl looks strong, but in fact she is weak inside, she is out of recuperation, so she needs to rest and not work hard."

Jia Mu was a little impatient, "It's better to have a baby. This is the most dangerous thing. It's actually the one who looks weak and cautious on weekdays, and is not prone to accidents. She is the least careful when she is so strong, relying on her youth. , I don’t take it to heart, and don’t talk about any difficulties. On the contrary, accidents are easy to happen. Now that the imperial doctor has said it, I think the housekeeper’s work should be put on hold for a while, and don’t let her worry about it. It’s necessary that you, my aunt, feel sorry for her The boss has caused the wind and cold again these few days, and the boss can't take care of everyone, so you can take care of it. Let someone call Lian'er in a while. In the past, it was honest to have his wife in charge, but now Feng girl is no longer there. Take care of him, but you can't cause any trouble."

Mrs. Wang said, "Daughter-in-law originally meant the same thing, but it's hard to say it. I don't want the old lady to feel sorry for her granddaughter-in-law, so she said it."

Jia Muyin said, "I just feel sorry for my granddaughter-in-law. Feng girl has just married and added a big fat boy. Now the housekeeper is quick and capable. How can I not be partial?"

Mrs. Wang laughed a few more words because she apologized, and then went out to take care of the previous matter without mentioning it.The sisters listened to the general idea behind, and although they were young, they understood that it was Sister Feng's happy event, and it was inconvenient for them to go there, so they sent the girls to congratulate them after returning to their rooms.

Sister Feng is a little tired because of the words of the imperial doctor, and she has to stay in bed to support her, and she can't manage the housekeeper. Isn't it a lot of fun.Now I see people coming from everywhere to kowtow to congratulate her, and the old lady personally ordered her to have a good pregnancy and gave her a lot of good medicinal materials, so I feel very unhappy.Especially when Jia Lian came home and found out about this, she was so happy that she almost picked her up. Although she already had a son, who would think that there were too many children?Brother Dongfu Zhen has a son as old as Brother Rong, and he will be a father-in-law next year. Now that his new sister-in-law is pregnant, he is so happy that he can't find it.

In the second half of the day, before Xue Baochai went back to Lixiangyuan, she went to look for Lin Daiyu again, but in vain, only Zisu and Baishao guarded the door, saying that the young lady went to visit Grandma Lian.Xue Baochai smiled and said a few more words to the two of them, but was perfunctory for a while, feeling rather boring, so she said to go home.Zi Su and Bai Shao sent a few steps politely, and when they turned around, the straight-tempered Bai Shao couldn't help but said, "This is clearly Jia's Mansion, but even a lady living here would say whether to go home or not." , I really think of this place as my own home."

Zisu hurriedly said, "Shut up, no matter what, she's still Miss Master, so it's your turn to make irresponsible remarks. Anyway, it's someone else's business, it has nothing to do with us, just keep to yourself, don't provoke me."

Daiyu was walking towards the front courtyard holding Hongxiu's hand.

It turned out that Jia Amnesty's family lived next to the main courtyard, which was a piece of land blocked from the garden and surrounded by a courtyard.Jia Zheng, however, brought his wives and concubines with him, and lived grandly in the side room beside the main courtyard.Such a thing would be too indecent in any family, but in the Jia family, many people turned a blind eye and dared not mention it.Two years ago, when Jia Lian was released back to Beijing, he wanted to bring up this matter, but he didn't find the right time.Later, Sister Feng got Jia Rui. It was really tight for the father-in-law, mother-in-law, son, daughter-in-law and grandson to live in a small courtyard, and Jia Amnesty also had a whole house of concubines, a concubine, and girls and women from that place. Can live.Jia Lian took the opportunity to mobilize Jia Zhen, and mentioned the matter to the old lady, and did not say that the second room should give up the main courtyard, but that the old Duke had been gone for so many years, and his father, as the eldest son, had already served his filial piety. Now the big family really can't fit in.In the second room, Baoyu and the third girl were raised by the old lady's side, and Li Wan took Jia Lan to live behind Jiamu's courtyard, so there were only Jia Zheng and his wife, and the rest were two aunts and Jia Huan. .Therefore, the two are not exchanged.

In the early years, Jia Mu used the word filial piety to crush the elder son to death, and then moved the younger son in, saying that she was taking care of herself, but she put the two brothers in the wrong place.After all these years, no one dared to talk about this matter, but Mother Jia also knew that if she brought it up, she would have no reason to let her youngest son live in the main courtyard.Besides, Jia Lian is also an official now, and Jia Zhen, the patriarch, was invited again. Even if Jia's mother didn't want to, she could only acquiesce in this matter.Therefore, last year the two families changed yards, and the eldest house had already returned to the main courtyard. Jia Lian, his wife and Mrs. Xing breathed a sigh of relief.Mrs. Wang did not see any expression, she was still as usual, even Sister Feng was not alienated.Jia Zheng prided himself on being an upright gentleman, but this time he was ashamed and refused to mention it again.
