The Red House Returns the Pearl Lin's Home

Lin Lu came back in a short while, pulled out an account book halfway from her sleeve, showed it to Lin Daiyu and Lin Lin, smiled with crooked eyebrows, and was extremely happy: "Let's go, let's talk to grandma, Daddy It is a great joy that my sister is allowed to visit her relatives."

When he said this, he was in high spirits, full of laughter, and his eyes were truly full of joy and eagerness. People who didn't know saw it, and probably thought that this person went to congratulate him.

My elder brother is always like a child who doesn't grow up, and he doesn't hide his special habit of gloating at other people's misfortunes and adding trouble to others. Lin Daiyu is quite helpless, knowing that his nature is like this, she can't say anything, she looks sideways at the door and doesn't move. Lin Lin: "Won't Ziyu go with us?"

Lin Lin shook her head slightly, but Lin Lu understood it quite well, and helped him explain: "At this time, it's usually the time when my sister goes to pay her respects to her grandmother, and I'm afraid that several other girls will also go there, monk You really should avoid it." Of course, the main reason is that this guy is not interested in finding an old woman to argue with, so instead of going to watch a verbal fight, he should use his free time to play another set of marksmanship.

Lin Lin didn't make a sound, she just acquiesced to this statement, and didn't wait any longer, she nodded to Lin Daiyu, then turned and left.

Lin Daiyu looked at his back and smiled heartily: "Ziyu is worried about me. He usually spends his time in the west courtyard at this time. Today, he got the news from somewhere, so he dropped what he was doing and came here. Cleared."

"The monk never said anything to you. It's not a rare thing." Lin Lu twitched her lips. Lin Lin treated him as well as Lin Daiyu. So be careful.

But it's not like that at all. Lin Ruhai missed a little bit of the tone of wanting to accept Lin Lin as his adopted son at first, and Lin Lin didn't mean to object. Since ancient times, there has been no marriage of brothers and sisters with the same surname. , should not react this way.

Forget it, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Lin Lu put the matter behind her without any guilt. Lin Lin's stomach has more twists and turns than others. Who knows what he is planning?

When the two came to the main room of Rongguo Mansion where Jia Mu lived, Lin Lu took a look and saw that there were a group of people waiting. Jia Baoyu still didn't go to school, and was shrinking next to Jia Mu, acting coquettishly and amusing.

Seeing Lin Daiyu coming, Jia Baoyu's eyes lit up, he immediately slid down the chair, and said 12 graciously: "Sister Lin is here? She came later than usual, and the ancestors said that there is something to delay, just thinking about it." People are going to see you!"

Lin Lu, who walked in front but was ignored by others, glanced at him contemptuously. This is really a standard sight-seeing and forgetting friends. On weekdays, "Brother Lin" and "Brother Lin" followed his ass around. Just treat him as air.

Lin Daiyu raised her clear almond eyes slightly, looked at Jia Baoyu's ruddy face, smiled lightly, and said softly in her eyes, "My brother and I are fine, please worry about my grandmother and second cousin."

Mother Jia was so amused that she sat on the couch, raised her hand and pointed at Jia Baoyu with an eager face, and scolded: "I keep talking about the price of the day, so I won't see you for a long time, so you have to make trouble with me." Invite someone, but you had a good time with your younger sister Lin, didn't you see your younger brother Lin also come over?"

The old lady spoke well, her hints were too obvious, she almost said it directly, Lin Lu twitched her lips, and said with a smile: "No, Second Cousin's mind is so skewed, I don't want to do it. "

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the smile on the corner of Xue Baochai's mouth was a little stiff, although it was quickly covered up, it was not completely leaked.

Mother Jia patted the place where Jia Baoyu was sitting just now, and looked at Lin Lu lovingly: "Come and sit down, although your second cousin's heart is biased, grandma loves you, let's talk about it and call them two." Cousins ​​and cousins ​​sit down and get close."

What are you getting close to? That's my sister, my sister. Lin Lu didn't move her heel at all, and lifted up the small box held in her right hand: "What a coincidence, my grandson has something to say to my grandmother."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pushed Jia Baoyu away naturally, and pulled Lin Daiyu to her side. Lin Lu had a stern expression on her face: "At first, the eldest sister was awarded the title of Xiande Concubine, and now she is blessed with the gift of the Holy Majesty to go home to visit her relatives. The emperor's grace is mighty, Not to mention grandma and uncle's family, even my younger sister and I are full of joy and feel the grace of the Holy One, besides, this is a great honor, we brothers and sisters are all overjoyed."

He first said a lot of nonsense to narrow the relationship between the two parties. Seeing that Yuanchun's relatives were mentioned, Jiamu's face was indeed a bit smug, and then he continued: "It's just because some time ago, my grandmother and uncle were all in the house. We are busy with visiting relatives, so it is inconvenient for us brothers and sisters to disturb us, but it just so happens that our ancestors are free today, so my grandson and younger sister specially came to congratulate the eldest sister."

Lin Daiyu followed and said, "Eldest sister is talented and virtuous, and she is favored by the sage. She is a natural blessing. Those of us who are clumsy, ignorant and ignorant will not be envious."

It's hard to know what Jia's mother is going to do. With great joy on her face, she turned her head to Li Wan and said, "You usually say that I am partial to Min'er's two children. Look at one or two of them. These little mouths are so sweet." , I can't help but favor them more!" He beckoned the two of them to come to him, put his arm around one, and rubbed it in his arms.

Li Wan hurriedly said: "This is natural. With such grandsons and granddaughters, who wouldn't say that the ancestors were blessed?"

Jia Baoyu immediately quit, and sat down on the side of the couch, saying: "The old ancestor said so, where do we put us? He also laughed at me for being biased. According to my grandson, there are other people who are biased." !"

Tan Chun also said with a smile: "Don't let the old ancestor slip up, we won't do it."

There are groups of grandchildren, Cheng Huan kneels, joking and joking, the power in the house is in his hands, and when trivial matters are handled by others, Jia Mu is quite satisfied with her current life, so she heard Lin Lu's words changed: This time I came to see my grandmother, besides congratulating my eldest sister, I have one more thing to tell my grandmother."

Jia's mother's smile remained unchanged, she was still kind and kind, but her heart skipped a beat. She knew that the visitor was not kind. As soon as she saw Lin Lu coming with Lin Daiyu, she knew there was something wrong with it. It's time for him to leave the house.

Reminiscent of what the mother-in-law reported to her earlier in the morning, Mrs. Wang took three or four women to meet Lin Daiyu, and Mother Jia knew that Lin Lu was probably here to seek justice.

The daughter-in-law of the second son's family is very dull and stupid. If it wasn't for the boss who remarried, she would not be on the stage, and the name of the housekeeper's wife would not be on her head.

Although Jia Mu felt a little disgusted in her heart, because of Mrs. Wang's status, she only insisted on defending it. She just didn't know it at the moment, and interrupted with a smile: "It's rare for this monkey to go out and run around today. I came to see me, but I didn't expect this incident to happen one after another, which shows that my heart is not sincere."

"Who said that, of course the most important thing is to come to pay my respects to grandma," Lin Lu said with a cute and innocent face, not allowing her to get what she wanted, and still clinging to the topic just now, "I will tell grandma that my grandson has , my heart has been quite uneasy."

"What's there to worry about? This is your uncle's house. If anyone dares to bully you, just come and tell me. Grandma will support you with all her old bones!" Mother Jia touched his half-bald gourd. For the head, Lin Lu hadn't bothered to shave her head in the past few days, and short hair stubbles had grown out, which felt a little prickly to the touch.

This child is really ignorant, the house provides food and clothing for you, and there is no lack of thoughtfulness, how could you come here to sue because Mrs. Wang behaved abnormally once?He had to pick a time when the juniors were all around, didn't he find it to embarrass Mrs. Wang?

No matter how wrong Mrs. Wang is, she is still Jia's mother's decent daughter-in-law, not to mention she is the wife of the head of the family, embarrassing her is making Jia's family feel uncomfortable.Mother Jia didn't say anything, but seeing Lin Lu was a little dissatisfied. If it's a big problem, just bear it by yourself. Uncle Lin is also a person who has been praised by the Holy Spirit. How can he have such a narrow-minded son?

"How can it be, my grandmother has already said that this is my uncle's house, how can anyone bully us?" Lin Daiyu curled up in Jiamu's arms, resting her head on her shoulder and acted like a baby, "In the past month, my grandmother We live very comfortably at home, my grandmother loves me very much, my uncles and aunts are also very kind, and my cousins ​​are very friendly, no worse than at home in Yangzhou."

"That's the reason." Lin Lu's round oval face was half grateful and half ashamed, "Is it because the grandmother's family treated us brothers and sisters so well that made my grandson feel more and more uneasy—to tell the truth from my grandmother, we were in the grandmother's house. I feel very sorry for disturbing my family for so long, besides, the family is busy with the family visitation of the elder sister, and they have to spare some people to take care of our brothers and sisters. It happens that the ancestral house on Qipan Street has been repaired, so I want to ask Grandmother bid farewell, don't bother me any more."

Mother Jia's face sank, she put away her smiling face, and the displeasure in her eyes flashed away, but she immediately covered it up, and took the opportunity to reprimand her: "What are you talking about, your brothers and sisters have no other relatives in the capital, poor my Min'er and uncle You went so early, you are so young, and you are only as old as you are, it is the right way to live with your relatives, so I am willing to let you two go out at such a young age to live hard by yourself?"

Jia Baoyu was even more anxious. He grew up with the three sisters of the Jia family, and only one Shi Xiangyun came to the door from time to time. Although there were many maids in the room, due to the difference in status, they couldn't really play with him. Finally, a beautiful and beautiful sister Bao came, and another sister Lin who looked like a banished fairy came. He has only stayed for a few days, and he hasn't been able to get close to him and say a few words of his own, so why is he leaving?

Among all the daughters in the Jia family, Lin Daiyu treated him the most indifferently. For the first time in his life, Jia Baoyu's tender heart hit a hard nail, but this did not detract from his love and admiration for Lin Daiyu. A hundred times more attentive.

Besides, after Qin Zhong's death, Lin Lu was also his rare male friend of the same age. Although he was not as important as Lin Daiyu in Jia Baoyu's heart, he was not a piece of fluffy straw paper after all, and Jia Baoyu was also very reluctant.

Hearing that they were going to leave at this time, he hurriedly said: "Brother Lin and I have a great time playing together, discussing homework together and urging each other to make progress together. It is a thousand times better than when I was alone. Lin My sister is also joking and talking here, so why do you want to move out?"

Only then did Jia's mother open her face, and said with a smile: "That's exactly what I said. Don't mention it again in the future!"

Lin Lu waited patiently for them to finish speaking, frowned and wrinkled her nose in embarrassment, looked at Jiamu before she could speak, sighed, stamped her feet in embarrassment, and wrinkled her eyebrows and nose again.

Jia Mu was amused by him, and hurriedly said: "What are you doing with such a strange look, what can't you say to an old lady like me?"

"Grandmother, uncle, and aunt are full of kindness. If you continue to evade it, you will not know what is good and what is wrong, and you will not be able to tell yourself. You have to be cheeky and continue to live." Lin Lu was sour at first, and then said, "But my grandson really feels that I am ashamed, my grandson was ignorant at first, but later I found out that Mrs. Xue and Miss Xue lived in the mansion at their own expense. They are only a few people, but our Lin family has [-] or [-] people. More to say."

Taking Xue Baochai as an example, Mother Jia looked at her with a cold look in her eyes, Xue Baochai hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Lin may have misunderstood, but it's just a matter of a few taels of silver, and the family is also sympathetic to us. Can you really let us take silver money? If brother Lin really does this, the old lady's compassion will have no place to rest."

Although this treasure girl came from a limited family, her words were really flattering. Mother Jia nodded secretly, without looking at Lin Lu, she only said to Lin Daiyu in her arms: "Is there a woman in the house who is talking too much and told you to listen?" Go? Yu'er told her grandma straight out, find out the things that don't know the dignity, and immediately find them and sell them!"

Jia's mother clearly knew that it wasn't the lowly old women who were gossips. It was worth thinking about who this "no respectable thing" was talking about. Lin Lu felt that she was being accused and scolded, and she understood from Lin Daiyu's slightly bitter smile. My sister heard it too.

He blinked his eyes, pretended not to notice it, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just my grandson who doesn't like it, not to mention that we brothers and sisters didn't know what prices were in the world back then. Feeling more and more guilty.”

Jia Mu's heart sank, she didn't expect him to say it, she looked up at Lin Lu, and said in surprise: "The second daughter-in-law is with you so? The first time Feng girl came to me to make trouble, insisting that I I hid her aunt, if I knew I should have instructed that shabby householder to go find your important person!" At the end, she couldn't stop laughing.

The whole room followed suit.

Lin Lu winked at her younger sister, whose face turned paler again, to signal her to be calm, pulled out the account book from her sleeve, and presented it to Mother Jia with both hands: "My grandson has arranged for someone to go out of the house specially. I bought it, thinking that the family would not spend a lot of expenses on weekdays, but I didn't expect that there would be such an amount every month, even though the second aunt accidentally leaked it, my grandson dare not take it lightly."

Mother Jia took it over and spread it out for a glance, and immediately understood what was written on it. After listening to Lin Lu's words with a gun and a stick, she felt an indescribable irony. It's dull.

It happened that Lin Lu still had a sincere and sincere face, she paused in embarrassment, and then said hesitantly: "Since grandma won't let us move out, we brothers and sisters must not live for free, my grandson wanted to order someone to move out." I sent ten thousand taels of silver bills directly to Lian's second sister-in-law, knowing that this is not a rare thing in the family, so I have the right to honor my grandmother and uncles - but I thought that without my grandmother's permission, Lian's second sister-in-law would not accept it, so my grandson had to show it to my grandmother. If my grandmother refuses to accept it, my grandson will really be ashamed to live there any longer."

Lin Daiyu also helped to persuade her. Mother Jia refused for a while, but seeing that she still couldn't push it, she had to order Yuanyang to take it over and stay for the time being. She still did not forget to emphasize: "Even so, I will take care of it for you first, and grandma will not let you suffer!"

A group of people gossiped for a long time, Li Wan saw that Jia Mu's face was a little sleepy and out of energy, so he offered to take Jia Mu's grandchildren to say goodbye and leave.

Lin Lu forced Jia Baoyu, who wanted to follow Lin Daiyu straight, to go at the back, and did not forget to turn around and close the door.

Jia Mu stared at the closed door, the remaining smile on her face disappeared in an instant, she slapped the huanghuali handrail heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Yuanyang, you go, bring Baoyu's mother here immediately, I haven't done it yet. Die, it's my child Min'er's head, she has a good calculation in her heart, and she has calculated a good account!"

This kind of thing stinks, of course Mother Jia doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, but Mrs. Wang acted too carelessly this time, and let people grab such a clear and obvious fact that she made a fake account book, she really should beat it It's best to let her pay attention to herself.

Yuanyang took the order and went away, and when she got to the door, she heard Jiamu add: "Take Feng girl with you, I have something else to tell her."

Butler Wang Xifeng managed everything in an orderly manner, which was in line with her wishes, but after all, she was a daughter-in-law married by the Wang family. Although she was the first wife of the big house Jia Lian, she was too close to Mrs. Wang.

The relationship between the two housekeepers and wives who hold real power is too good, which is not good for her, the nominal supreme female leader. Jia Mu sneered in her heart. If something goes wrong, you don't have to do it yourself, and the aunt and nephew will naturally have a rift between them.
