New Dream of Red Mansions

Lin Yuan inherited the good looks of the Lin family, handsome and elegant, he has good aptitude, and was trained by Lin Ruhai for more than half a year, but with a faint smile, people have a good impression of him.

At least Mother Jia had a good impression of him. Seeing him bow down, she hurriedly asked to help him and the twins. At this time, the girl behind Mother Jia took out a futon and put it in front of her. The elder brother followed what Lin Yuan taught He respectfully gave Jia Mu a big gift.

Mother Jia nodded in relief: "Okay, okay, good boy." She personally took a red envelope to the son, and then asked Yuanyang to bring up the prepared meeting gift. Except that the son was different, the three Lin Yuan brothers all the same.

Seeing that Jia's mother did not make it difficult for her to give birth to a brother, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Since Jia's mother accepted the gift of giving birth to a brother, it meant that the Jia family recognized her status as the heir to give birth to a brother. home.

Brother Sheng glanced at Daiyu, and called out "grandmother" in a low voice.

Seeing that her son's face was pale, Mother Jia remembered what Lin Ruhai said about the child's poor health, and asked Lin Yuan, "Does your brother have a deficiency? What medicine are you taking now?"

Lin Yuan said quickly, and Mother Jia relaxed and said, "It's not a serious illness, but it needs to be taken care of carefully. From now on, I will stew it with two taels of bird's nest and rock sugar every morning, so as to nourish the blood first. That's it." Jia Mu looked at Xiyan, "It's just right, your sister Yan knows these medical principles, and she treated her younger brother and your younger sister. You can give her a gift later, and pester her to give it to Brother Sheng as well." Let’s take care of it.” Everyone laughed.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed, Lin Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense back relaxed slightly.

After Jia's mother finished speaking, Sanchun came up to greet Lin Yuan and the others. Yingchun called her cousin a few times, Tanchun and Xichun called her cousin, and then looked at the twins curiously and called her cousin twice.

Although Lin Yuan did not adopt to the Lin family, Jia's mother positioned him as Daiyu's cousin, so there is no need to avoid suspicion with the girls of Jia's mansion.

After seeing you in Sanchun, Baochai came forward to salute. In this way, the room was full of excitement.

Mrs. Xing first took out the meeting gift, but it was just an ordinary four treasures of the study. She said apologetically, "It's just some stuff, you can play with it."

Mother Jia's forehead twitched, she closed her eyes slightly, and forced herself not to look at the harsh smile on Mrs. Xing's face.

Mrs. Wang smiled at the corner of her mouth, looked at the Lin Yuan brothers with vague eyes, and asked Jin Chuan to send out the Four Treasures of the Study she had prepared.Mrs. Wang prepared much better things than Mrs. Xing, and she didn't seem to mind giving gifts to Lin Yuan and others beyond Mrs. Xing's gift.

Mother Jia's expression was complicated. She was relieved that Mrs. Wang didn't lose face to Lin Yuan and others, but also frowned at Mrs. Xing's blatant disregard for Mrs. Xing.

Aunt Xue also prepared a meeting gift, and after giving it to Lin Yuan, she smiled and said to Mother Jia: "The Lin family is a scholarly family after all, and the offspring they raise are different. I heard that the eldest son passed the examination at a young age. Don't worry."

Mother Jia laughed and said, "Their tutoring of the Lin family is of course correct, but it's too strict. Back then, I told Mrs. Lin that everyone else would be an official if they passed the exam, but Mrs. Lin recited it every day. What did you say? There is no limit to learning. I, an old woman, don't understand."

Mrs. Wang showed a bitter expression, "It's no wonder that Young Master Lin is not in good health, and he should pay more attention to his health. The eldest son must not damage his health because of studying in the future."

Aunt Xue's smile froze slightly, while Mother Jia's eyes flashed with anger, the smile on her face faded a lot, her eyes swept over the children, big and small, in the room, and she didn't explode in front of others.

Xiyan was amused, and at the same time doubts flashed, this was the first time she saw Mrs. Wang verbally abusing Jia's mother. In the past, Mrs. Wang used devious measures to do things secretly.Could it be because of Concubine Yuan?

Xiyan's eyes swept over the people in the room, only to realize that Baoyu was not there.But she didn't worry about it, Zuo just went out to play.

Mother Jia waited for them to finish their meeting, and forced a smile and said, "You are tired too. I asked your second sister-in-law to clean up the house for you. The birth brother will live with brother Yu for the time being. It just so happens that Yu'er is not far away. You can also go to take care of your younger brother from time to time, the eldest son, the second son and the third son will live in Xingdeyuan first, and if you need anything, just tell the steward, it’s better not to be born."

Lin Yuan got up and said respectfully: "The old lady's kindness is appreciated by the younger generation. Before going to Beijing, the fifth uncle arranged a yard for the nephews. It will be good for me and my younger brothers to live there. The old lady and younger sister will take care of the older brother. , I am also relieved, and I will come to see my sister and brother more often in the future."

Lin Ruhai knew about Lin Yuan's arrangement with Jia's mother, or she thought she knew, and said with a smile: "The yard hasn't been tidied up, so where can people live now? Or live in the house now, and wait until the yard is tidied up. We moved there, our two families are relatives by marriage, and now we have a brother-in-law relationship, so we should be closer."

Lin Yuan glanced at Daiyu and agreed.

Just in front of Jia Lian sent someone to spread the word that the food was ready, so Mother Jia left her eldest brother to eat with them, and brother You led the three Lin Yuan brothers to eat in front.

The eldest brother is only six years old, he is the youngest child in the room, he is a bit timid, so he stands close to Daiyu, and he is only willing to sit next to Daiyu when arranging seats. Hi, she arranged her birth brother in the West Room where Brother Yu lived, with the idea of ​​letting him get along with Daiyu as a family. Seeing him clinging to Daiyu now, she is naturally happy to see the result.

When Baochai saw Daiyu skillfully serving dishes for her birth brother, she pursed her lips into a smile and opened her mouth to make a joke, but then she thought that it was the dinner table, and she couldn't eat or sleep, so she swallowed the words that came to her lips.

But Lin Yuan, who got up to leave, recalled the scene of the meeting just now over and over again. He is not a fool, so he can naturally feel the malice from Mrs. Wang, but he doesn't know when he offended her.They are meeting for the first time today, aren't they?If it wasn't him, then it was Daiyu?

Lin Yuan's eyes darkened slightly.

After eating, Brother Sheng yawned so sleepy, Daiyu got up quickly and said, "Grandmother, I'll send Brother Sheng home first."

Jia Mu hurriedly said: "You all go back, you may be so tired after driving for so long. Let's talk tomorrow if we have anything to do."

Xiyan and Daiyu hurriedly bid farewell to the sisters, and when they left the house, they met Dongmei who was coming to find someone. Xiyan asked her, "Brother Yu, have you gone back?"

"Go back, it was the young master who asked me to come and have a look."

Before entering Jia's mansion, Xiyan and Daiyu explained the situation of Jia's mansion to Lin Yuan in detail, plus what he himself inquired about and Wu Shu's warning, Lin Yuan knew that he should not be with Jia's mansion. people get too close.

But if he could inquire about the life of his younger brother and Daiyu in Jia's mansion at any time, he couldn't completely ignore Jia's family, so he had to grasp a certain degree.

Through today's understanding, Lin Yuan also has a definite plan for the future.

At this time, Jia Lian was talking about this trip to Yangzhou with Sister Feng in detail, and the first thing he said was that Lin Ruhai wanted to find something for him, "...Although he is only a small official from the sixth rank, it is good to have I can manage things, my uncle also said, as long as I don’t make mistakes, with our family connections, I can be promoted to the outside world after two or three years. phase, but you can’t rely on your uncle to live.”

Sister Feng hesitated in her heart. She hoped that Jia Lian would be successful, but she also couldn't bear to be the housekeeper of Jia's house. If she really followed Jia Lian outside, she would only be an official woman of the fifth or sixth rank, but if she stayed in the capital, then she It is the head of the Rongguo Mansion.
