Lin Jiajingyu's Counterattack in the Red Chamber

The third day of the eighth month is Jia Mu's 28th birthday. Since all relatives and friends are coming, I am afraid that the banquet will not be held. Guofu and Ningguofu held a banquet together, Ningguofu only invited male guests, while Rongguofu entertained female guests, and arranged several large places in Rongguofu as resting places.

From the 28th to the fourth day of the eighth month, the people who came to congratulate their birthdays will be ranked down according to their official positions. On the first day, the princes, princes, wives and other dignitaries are invited, and on the last day, Lai Da and Lin Zhixiao are in charge. A banquet with the lady in charge.Calculated in this way, the 28th is more like a positive day.

It stands to reason that Lin Jingyu should have come to Jia's mansion on the [-]th day to entertain the officials, orders, relatives, friends and wives, but it was Jia's mother who sent someone to Lin's mansion to bring them to Rongguo mansion.No matter what the inner and outer spaces of Jiajia Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion are, they are prosperous and prosperous places in the eyes of outsiders. Now Prince Teng, who has been promoted to governor of nine provinces, often goes to and from Rongguo Mansion, and the well-informed know that Prince Teng has been there In order to invite concubine Jia to visit her relatives, all of a sudden, there was an endless stream of people presenting birthday gifts to Shangrong State Mansion.

From the first ten days of July, people came to pay respects to Jia Mu's birthday one after another.Lin Jingyu and Daiyu arrived at the Rongguo Mansion two days in advance, and those who were not on the list invited by Jia's family had almost finished their birthday celebrations, but it was Mrs. Wang who specially asked someone to set up a large table in the main room, covered with red felt. When Lin Jingyu and Daiyu first arrived, Mother Jia took them to play with them in high spirits, but she got bored later, so she asked Mrs. Wang to put them away first, and then take them out to play when she was bored. .

Naturally, Wang Xifeng didn't wait until the 28th to return to Rongguo Mansion, but it was not too far behind, the 27th time.Lin Jingyu and Daiyu arrived at 25, and even Shi Xiangyun arrived at 26.She, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion, waited until the day before, and Jia Lian, who was too busy to touch the ground, urged her to come back repeatedly.

Tomorrow is the 28th, the royal family and nobles are being entertained, and the Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion have already been decorated with lanterns and festoons, resplendent and magnificent.Lin Jingyu, Daiyu and a group of sisters were chatting and joking with Jia Mu in Rongxi Hall, when they heard a little maid came in through the curtain outside and said, "Old Ancestor, Second Master Lian and Second Grandma are here."

Mother Jia laughed heartily at the top, and when the little girl came in, Mother Jia still had a smile on her face. She asked the little girl to go out to meet people, and turned her head to Aunt Xue, who was sitting on the bottom left side, and said, "Is this still possible?" In less than a month, I forgot the way to Rongxitang, it's time to fight!"

After all, Aunt Xue was Wang Xifeng's aunt, and since the Xue family was defeated, she relied more on Wang Xifeng's father, Wang Ziteng.Sandwiched between her own sister and her niece, Aunt Xue is not easy to do.In this battle between Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng, Aunt Xue kept silent most of the time, but when she had to, she stood by Mrs. Wang's side.

In the last draft, Wang Ziteng tried his best and was still not selected.In the next selection of servants, Aunt Xue will point to Yuan Chun who is in the palace to help, or let go.

But no matter what, when it comes to choosing between Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng, Aunt Xue's choice is unquestionable. "She forgot the way, she might be more timid if she is close to the hometown." Turning her head, she said loudly: "Feng girl, don't you cry outside?"

As soon as Aunt Xue's words fell to the ground, it was Wang Xifeng who stooped and walked in, "Auntie, I haven't wiped my tears yet. I haven't seen you for a few days, so I feel that I can't live without my ancestors."

Aunt...Before, Wang Xifeng used 'aunt' to refer to Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang.

When Wang Xifeng greeted Jia Mu, Lin Jingyu carefully looked at Wang Xifeng's face, she was proud of the spring breeze and her face was full of power, just like the demeanor of a well-faced housewife when Lin Jingyu first met her.It seems that during the ten or so days since she returned to her natal home, her mother gave her many useful tricks.

Jia Lian came in after Wang Xifeng. In this era of male dominance, this time, he tolerated Wang Xifeng a lot.

After Wang Xifeng asked for peace, Jia's mother said to Jia Lian with a smile, "You hang around here and go to arrange your affairs. Your father and your second uncle are in a hurry these days. Even that bastard Baoyu has learned a lot. Your second uncle is behind. You have been hiding a lot recently, and now that your daughter-in-law is back, I will go to work on you. "

Wang Xifeng, who had her father's backing, was not afraid of beating Wang Xifeng openly and secretly.These days, her mother carefully analyzed the current situation of Rongguo Mansion for her. As long as her father was around, she would not have to look at anyone's face in Rongguo Mansion. "What the old ancestor said is, Lord, you have to thank me very much later. Otherwise, you will be as thin as Brother Bao."

"Thank you, lady!" After bowing to Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian and Jia Mu said a few words, and then went out to work.

Wang Xifeng couldn't hide her complacency, and said to Lin Jingyu: "Brother Lin, everyone knows your name now, and many people come to me to inquire about you. Come and tell my sister-in-law, what kind of girl do you like? My sister-in-law is also good at screening." Lost a group of people."

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Lin Jingyu's expression remained unchanged, "Second sister-in-law, you can just bury me with all your strength, I'll leave this face behind, let's see what you can say!"

"Hey, sister Lin, who is this shameless? Sister Lin, go up and see if it's your brother, don't Baoyu wear your brother's clothes."

Daiyu leaned half in Jiamu's arms, covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, don't drag me into the lawsuit between the two of you."

Mother Jia laughed and taught Wang Xifeng a lesson: "I don't think you should be called 'Feng Girl', but 'Crazy Girl'. Jingyu, who is so thin-skinned, was forced into this by you. Turning around, he was annoyed. Just write a few words and you will be able to bear it."

Wang Xifeng sat at the head of Aunt Xue, pretending to be afraid and said: "Brother Lin, the second sister-in-law is wrong, don't take it to heart. Don't say, I have seen a lot of imperial gifts, but I have never seen the imperial pen. What does it look like?" Huh? Is the vellus hair made of gold thread or silk? Is there a dragon and phoenix tattooed on the body of the pen?"

Daiyu was amused by Wang Xifeng, "The imperial pen naturally looks like an imperial pen."

"You little girl, you still made fun of me today. But having said that, I have attended a few banquets with my mother in the past few days. I heard that I am your cousin, and many people have inquired about it. I am sincerely asking you .”

Lin Jingyu pretended to think, and asked after a while, "I wonder if the second sister-in-law still has a direct sister? If I were born a few years earlier, I would definitely ask my father to go to the Wang family to propose marriage. Hey, I wish we could meet when we were not married."

Feeling at ease physically and mentally after being praised by Lin Jingyu, Wang Xifeng pretended to be a tiger and said: "You are entertaining me today, but there is no direct sister, but the direct niece is better."

Jia Mu smiled at the top and said, "That's not going to happen. You've lost your seniority. Girl Feng, it's not like this to take advantage of things."

Turning around, he smiled and taught Lin Jingyu again: "Your mouth is open, watch out for your cousin to beat you."

"Old ancestor, cousin Lian beat me, you have to help me, if not, I will hide behind Baoyu."

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Brother Bao is busy recently, I guess you can't even catch others, and you still want to hide behind him. Make a good apology to me and ask my sister-in-law to let you go. The best way! Speaking of it, In previous years, I would run away, and the Bao brothers would hide away. This year is finally my time to catch up. They are vying to show their filial piety to the ancestors. I can't grab them, so I have to be an eyesore in front of the ancestors."

Thinking of her precious grandson, Mother Jia became kinder, "He has finally learned a lot recently, don't point out how much he helps, just pass on errands to his father. It's just that he lost a lot of weight. Big Circle, it doesn’t hurt to look at it.”

Lin Jingyu smiled and said: "The old ancestor looked distressed, but Baoyu didn't feel it. That's Baoyu's filial piety. No matter how hard or tired, Baoyu's heart is probably very sweet."

Baochai laughed and said, "It's not just that Baoyu is very sweet in his heart, but the ancestors can't eat honey now, can they?"

Shi Xiangyun continued Baochai's words, "The ancestors can't hear us now, and they are busy eating 'honey'."

Daiyu hugged Jia Mu's arm, "I can't blame my ancestor for not loving me anymore. Baoyu has taken over my ancestor's heart by herself. Our sisters don't rely on my ancestor."

Mother Jia was so enraged by being held together by several people, she threw Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun into her arms, "It hurts, it hurts!"

While talking, someone happily ran in and said, "Old Ancestor, there are people coming from the palace."

Mother Jia staggered to her feet and asked repeatedly, "Do you know who it is?"

The servant girl was so excited that she could speak incoherently, "The eunuchs sent by the empress in the palace, the two masters have gone to Ningguo Mansion, Second Master Lian and Second Master Bao are greeting in the front hall."

"Okay, okay, okay." Mother Jia hurriedly directed Yuanyang and said, "Mandarin duck, quickly, go and take out my clothes. Feng girl, you go back and change your clothes. Tanchun Yingchun, you go and call you Mother."

Jia Lian donated his official position. Although he had no real power, Wang Xifeng still had orders.

With the old rules, although the expression is happy, it is considered methodical.After everything was tidied up, the eunuch who came out of the palace began to ask people to bring up the things Jia Yuanchun bestowed.

But it turned out to be a golden birthday star, an agarwood walking stick, a string of Canaan beads, a box of incense sticks, a pair of gold ingots, four pairs of silver ingots, twelve bolts of colorful satin, and four jade cups.

Thanks in advance, Mother Jia supported Wang Xifeng's hand and stood up, asked someone to take the things, and asked in a trembling voice: "My lord, I don't know how your mother is doing in the palace."

"Mrs. Duke, this servant can't afford to be your lord." Although the eunuch said so, but his face was full of satisfaction, he squeezed his voice and said slowly: "Your Majesty, everything is fine, but I miss Madam very much. "

"Everything is fine, ma'am!" Mother Jia said three times in a row before asking in a low voice: "In previous years, things were only given at the end of the day. I don't know why it's earlier this year?"

The eunuch looked around, then lowered his voice and said: "This servant dare not say it, but I want to congratulate the old lady in advance."

Mother Jia turned these words around in her heart, thinking of a certain guess, she couldn't stop her joy.After all, after so many years of ups and downs, from the great-grandson daughter-in-law of Rongguo Mansion to the ancestor today, what battle has not been seen?! But he suppressed it in the blink of an eye, and said to the eunuch with a smile: "I am too tired to go, my lord stays!" Come down and have a cup of tea."

"The cup of tea I drank in the Rongguo Mansion last year was sweet and refreshing. The maidservant remembers it until this year, but today it will not be finished. The empress is still waiting for the maidservant to return to her life."

"My lord has important errands, so I don't force you to keep me. Please also say hello to your mother on my behalf."

"The servant will naturally bring the words, old lady, the servant will leave first."

"My lord, go slowly." Jia's mother hurriedly urged Jia Baoyu: "Baoyu, hurry to see your lord off."

Seeing that both of them had gone out, Mother Jia hurriedly asked someone to put the things Jia Yuanchun had given them on the brocade in the main room for display.With this, everyone talked and laughed even more happily.
