Lin Jiajingyu's Counterattack in the Red Chamber

Or because of the favor issued by the palace, Concubine Nan'an took another seat and declined after listening to a scene, saying that she was not feeling well.Mother Jia and the others couldn't force her to stay, so she said a few words of humility and sent them to the second gate, watching her leave in a sedan chair, followed by Princess Beijing.Some of the rest of the guests left, but most of them persisted until the end.

Jia's mother was tired all day, and she had something to worry about, so she didn't see Lin Jingyu, she just called Jia Baoyu into the house to talk, and called back all the hostesses who originally lived in Ningguo Mansion, presumably to visit the ancestral tablet Go to announce the good news and discuss today's imperial decree.

On the second day, Mother Jia stopped receiving guests, and handed over to Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang led by several daughters-in-law of the younger generation to receive them.Lin Jingyu, Tanchun and others were talking to Jia's mother in the Rongxi Hall, but today Jia Baoyu followed Jia Zheng and Jia Lian to the Ningguo Mansion to entertain guests.

Life is seventy years old, and Jiamu, who is 80 years old, is really old.Yesterday's festivities and last night's all-nighter consumed her energy, and she was a little tired at this time.Although the eyes are bright, there is a bit of energy to hold on to it, how long can it last?When this joy is over, I'm afraid I'm going to be seriously ill.Elderly people, the most taboo is great joy and great sorrow.

The Tanchun sisters gathered around and discussed in a low voice about Jia Yuanchun, with an unconcealed joy in their tone.With a smile on her face, Mother Jia listened to the conversation of Tanchun and the others with half-opened eyes.Surrounded by a group of lively girls, it seems that she herself is a few years younger.

Lin Jingyu listened to it, feeling rather dull.At this time, it seemed no different from talking with Jiamu at the Rongguo Mansion before, when there were more people.Although Jia Baoyu was ignorant and stubborn, with him around, he would never be so uncomfortable at this moment.There are two men of the right age in the room, and it's not the same as just him.Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Wang Xifeng were there before. Although the content remained the same, Mrs. Xing always flattered Jia's mother and always hit the horse's leg. Others, but always feel more comfortable than this time.

Daiyu was chatting with Xue Baochai one after another, and each had their own concerns.Shi Xiangyun, who is usually the best at expressing himself, just listened to Tanchun and Yingchun's speech with a frozen smile.

"Jingyu, who made you angry yesterday?"

Lin Jingyu always felt that Jia's mother was resting, and he didn't stop talking below. He was also thinking about something, and when Jia's mother asked him suddenly, Lin Jingyu was stunned for a moment before reacting.He said this in the Rongxi Hall yesterday, when Yuanyang was still there, and he said, "I don't know where the gate of Rongguo Mansion opens." I think Yuanyang learned it from Jiamu last night. "Yesterday was a good day for our ancestors, who dares to make me angry?"

This matter, no matter whether it was mentioned or not, whether Jia Mu pretended not to see it or faced it, it was a knot in the hearts of both Lin Jingyu and Daiyu.Lin Jingyu gently turned the jade wrench on her thumb, and said with a smile, "I'm just trying to find trouble for myself."

Mother Jia choked on these words, but she didn't take it to heart.Even though today's joy is not as strong as yesterday, I am still extremely proud in my heart.There was a noble concubine in the Rongguo Mansion, and she brought up the noble concubine single-handedly.Concubine visiting relatives, what kind of good fortune is this?It's too late for others to catch up, how can anyone avoid it. "In-laws and in-laws, break the bones and connect the tendons. You, you are stubborn. How can you live without stumbling, and your teeth still touch your tongue."

Lin Jingyu found it even more amused to hear Jiamu's vague words.With the noble concubine here at this time, his ancestor felt that she was embarrassing.At first I thought it was Mrs. Wang who made her own decisions, but now I think it's ridiculous. How can any matter in this mansion escape the old lady's eyes?I want to take advantage of it, but I don't want to lose face. How can there be such a good thing in the world?

"Old Ancestor, you, you have gone through all the storms and waves, and you are at peace. We young people still have to learn." Whoever steps on your face and the plaque of "Chizao Rongguo Mansion" like this, he will Believe it or not, you can hold it!

Lin Jingyu sneered, and said with a smile: "You old ancestor, you just like to worry too much. These few days are your good days. As for you, just be happy and happy. Others, someone else will worry about it."

Seeing that Lin Jingyu didn't climb down the ladder she built, Mother Jia was dissatisfied but didn't show it.Hearing Lin Jingyu's words, she answered with a smile: "As long as you can talk, it's my happy day, and it's also your happy day. Not everyone can take the first part of the concubine's family visit. of."

Speaking of the latter, Jia Mu couldn't hide her complacency in her tone. "Your eldest cousin is trying to win, and she has given me a lot of face. Even if I go to see my ancestors in the future, no one can say that I am a poor daughter-in-law of the Jia family."

Jia's mother married in as a great-grandson daughter-in-law, and she was the lowest among Jia's daughter-in-laws.She stood when others were sitting, and she served others when they ate. There was a long line of elders above, and there was a lot of gossip in the back house, so they must have suffered a lot.After going through step by step until today, he has become the ancestor of Rongguo Mansion, and he can be regarded as living like a human being.Today, Jia Yuanchun, whom she raised, has become a noble concubine and the No. 1 concubine of the dynasty to visit relatives. She is indeed proud.

"It's your ancestor who taught you well, and it's also in line with this noble concubine's fortune." Lin Jingyu covered the smile in her eyes and spoke very seriously.

"Your eldest cousin is Linghui, I haven't worried much. It's not like you two, I, an old woman, have my heart broken!" Jiamu said with a smile: "You are really here to collect debts."

"You are fifteen years old this year, and you have children of the same age as you. What are your plans?" Mother Jia smiled and said, "Your cousin is now a noble concubine, and she can speak well in the palace. You have something in your heart." Let her see if it fits or not. If you want me to say, it’s best to find someone who knows everything.”

As she spoke, Mother Jia glanced at the sisters who were talking.Lin Jingyu didn't understand Jia's mother's thoughts.Now there is a noble concubine in the Rongguo Mansion. Although Tanchun is a concubine, her first sister is a noble concubine, so naturally it is not bad.

As soon as Mother Jia said this, the people who were speaking all looked over.Lin Jingyu smiled softly, "Old Ancestor, how could you discuss marriage in front of them."

"They are no one else, and the discussion is yours." Jia Mu half sat up, "You are not young."

Being pressed every step of the way, Lin Jingyu felt a little unhappy.Thinking that it was Jiamu's birthday, Lin Jingyu said with a smile, "Old Ancestor, I'm not in a hurry, left and right... haven't taken off my clothes yet."

"If you are not allowed to marry now, you only have a few months left to get rid of the clothes. Start a family and start a business. You think you are still young."

"As the saying goes, what my parents order and what the matchmaker says, I can't make the decision myself." Seeing that Jia Mu's eyes lit up and she was about to speak, Lin Jingyu continued unhurriedly: "Old ancestor, since we have come here , I will not hide it from you. I am a teacher for one day and a father for the rest of my life. My husband has no children under his knees, and he has always been regarded as his own son. My husband and wife have made plans early in the morning, and let people come in after I am over. "

Mother Jia relaxed, and leaned back halfway on the chair, her voice a little dissatisfied: "It's such a big matter, don't discuss it with me." After a pause, she asked: "I don't know whose girl? So that your cousin can ask you for a marriage proposal."

Lin Jingyu was perfunctory and serious, "I don't know, Mr. is afraid that I will be distracted, so he kept it a secret."

Mother Jia squinted her eyes, and after a while, she sighed in an unclear tone: "Your husband is thoughtful."

After this, Jia Mu didn't say much.It seemed that he just saw Lin Jingyu and suddenly remembered that Lin Jingyu was not married yet.Seeing that Aunt Xue was not there, Lin Jingyu asked Xue Baochai with a smile: "Cousin Xue, why didn't Aunt Xue come over today?"

Mother Jia seemed to be motionless, while Xue Baochai's expression did not change at all, "Mother's body has not been very comfortable recently, and she was in good spirits yesterday because of the joy of the ancestors. Last night, the wind blew, but today it is not. Originally, I wanted to come and talk to my ancestors. Cousin Lao missed it."

Even though they all knew that Aunt Xue didn't come because she was unhappy, Xue Baochai's words were flawless.

His grandmother's skills and knowledge have regressed a lot when she is old, but this calculation is still so loud, just like his second aunt.That's why we say 'it's not that one family doesn't enter one house'. "I wanted to ask Aunt Xue about it yesterday, but I was too busy and overjoyed yesterday, so I forgot about it. I thought about asking Aunt Xue today."

"What's so urgent? Cousin, tell me first, and I'll ask you later."

After a while, Lin Jingyu struggled to speak embarrassingly. "This matter is about you, so it's not good to say it in front of you. I asked Mrs. Xu something that day. I thought of you and asked by the way."

"What's so mysterious about me?" Baochai asked with a smile.

Seeing Jia Mu, Lin Jingyu opened her pretended closed eyes to look at him, let alone Tanchun. "It's already August now, and the days are short in winter. The days go by so fast, and the new year will be over in a blink of an eye. After the new year, the beautiful girls waiting for elections from all over the country will go to Beijing one after another. How's it going?"

Xue Baochai blushed a little, but after all, it was related to her future.She saw how prominent the Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion are now because of Jia Yuanchun, how could she not feel hot?Her brother failed to live up to expectations, and the burden of restoring the Xue family fell entirely on her.No matter how embarrassing you are, you have to ask clearly.

"When I was choosing a waiter, I was young, and my mother didn't know the rules inside, so I passed it in a daze. Now, I don't remember the way inside clearly, so I don't know how to prepare for it." What? If my cousin hadn't reminded me, I would still be living my life in vain."

Lin Jingyu laughed, and buried in her heart the idea of ​​choosing a servant to enter the palace and glorifying the Xue family's lintel, Xue Baochai would not give out the money they will live and live in in the future to help Jia's family build the Grand View Garden. "I'm not too sure about Daiyu's matter. My father made a statement before he was alive. The emperor approved it at that time. This time Daiyu just came of age. I asked Mrs. Xu to come to the queen mother to tell the premise. I didn't pay attention to it." Ask about the rules."

Seeing that Xue Baochai couldn't hide her disappointment, Lin Jingyu added with a smile: "I took pains to get the two nuns beside Daiyu from the palace. You can often come to the mansion to talk to Daiyu. Besides, your uncle is now But the admiral of the nine provinces happens to be in the capital, so you might as well go to your aunt and ask her to give you the details. When Uncle Wang releases his foreign post and leaves the capital, the situation will not be as good as it is now. Uncle Wang is also you Uncle, why are you embarrassed, besides, there is Lian's second sister-in-law here."

Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang are a mess now, if Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai get involved again, it will be really lively.

Jiamu's face was full of smiles, and she said angrily, "You're the only one who can come up with an idea. If something goes wrong, I'll see if Bao girl doesn't come to you."

What Jiamu said, in other words, means that he is taking it easy.If it weren't for the fact that Jia's mother is an elder, he would have told his grandmother this word a long time ago.Seeing that Xue Baochai lowered her head and couldn't see the expression on her face, Lin Jingyu just smiled and said nothing.

It's nothing to do with him, it's just that he can't get used to Rongguo Mansion's attitude.If Daiyu is just an orphan, the situation is not as good as that of Xue Baochai.It is serious to go back earlier, the more you stay in Rongguo Mansion, the more boring you will feel.
