Lin Jiajingyu's Counterattack in the Red Chamber

"It's good to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade." Baochai looked at the mottled light and shadow of the sun shining through the layers of leaves falling on the ground, and his tone was full of self-deprecation, "My brother and brothers are useless, so naturally I have to worship gods and Buddhas everywhere." .”

"Who knows if this tree will be broken halfway? I don't do business at a loss." Lin Jingyu smiled and nodded to Xue Baochai. As for whether to listen or not, it was not in his consideration.

"What are you talking about?" Xichun was young and asked curiously when she saw Lin Jingyu and Xue Baochai chatting happily with Yingchun Daiyu before.

Xue Baochai replied with a smile: "The weather is hot now, we are talking about planting more flowers and trees, and it looks cooler."

Lin Jingyu smiled without saying a word, watching them talk.Xichun and Yingchun are girls from the Jia family, and they are proud of the Grand View Garden, no matter how arrogant they are, they will not put on airs too much in front of Daiyu and Baochai.At this time, it was basically Xichun Yingchun who told Daiyu about the Grand View Garden in detail.

Several people were talking excitedly, the big maid in Jia Mu's room came over and asked some people to come in and talk.Several people entered Jiamu's room, and Yuanyang was twisting the handkerchief to wipe Jiamu's face.

"I was in a drowsy sleep. When I woke up, I heard Yuanyang say that you were talking outside. Yuanyang is also a clueless person. Why did you let you bask outside in such a hot day?"

Jia Mu's words were all about blaming Yuanyang, but Lin Jingyu and her sisters didn't take it seriously. Everyone in the Rongguo Mansion didn't know that Yuanyang was the proud person in front of Jiamu.Usually, after serving Jia's mother, they eat at the same table with Wang Xifeng You's daughter-in-law of Jia's family.

Xue Baochai, Lin Jingyu, and Daiyu were guests, and what Jia Mu said was more for the three of them.But if the three of them didn't continue what Jiamu said, no matter how light or severe it was, Yuanyang's punishment would be unavoidable.Xue Baochai answered the words with a sly face: "No wonder Sister Yuanyang, the ancestors raised people in the courtyard, even the flowers, plants and trees are different from other places. We were fascinated by it for a while, how can we remember whether the sun is bright or not?"

"You have such a mouth, but people don't know how to say it." Yuanyang asked the little maid to take down the basin in silence. Jia Mu didn't continue to punish Yuanyang, but said instead: "You little girls, you always rely on yourself. She has a good body and doesn't take anything seriously. Look at the sun, Bao girl's forehead is full of sweat."

They were talking under the shade of a tree, and the sun is not so strong today, how could they sweat in such a short time?But since Mother Jia said that she was sweating in the sun and needed to go back to the house to freshen up, she should be more sensible.Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Just now I was chatting with Cousin Lin and Daiyu, but I didn't pay much attention to it. If the ancestor didn't say anything, I haven't realized it yet. In this case, the ancestor let me go back and change my clothes before coming to accompany the ancestor say."

Jia Mu glanced at Yingchun and Xichun, and said with a smile, "You guys should clean it up, too." Turning to Daiyu and Lin Jingyu, she said, "You two haven't lived in your yard for a long time, and you're not popular. I'll make it right here."

When Jia's mother mentioned this, Baochai, Xichun, and Yingchun naturally understood that Jia's mother wanted to leave Lin Jingyu and Daiyu alone to talk.

"Old Ancestor, let's go back first." After bidding farewell to Mother Jia, Baochai greeted Daiyu with a smile: "Sister Lin, we will talk to you later."

Seeing that both Jiamu and Daiyu had agreed, the two sisters Baochai and Xichun retreated.

Mother Jia said that Lin Jingyu and Daiyu were left alone in order to allow them to freshen up with her, so of course she had to prove this reason.Lin Jingyu and Daiyu didn't live in Jiamu's yard, so naturally they didn't have their clothes.It was not possible to change clothes, Lin Jingyu and Daiyu simply wiped their faces and hands, and tidied up their appearance.

After they finished grooming, the little maid led them to Jia Mu's main room.At this point, Lin Jingyu naturally knows that the previous ones were just appetizers, and now it's the main theme.After doing so many preparations before, Lin Jingyu felt that his heart was extremely peaceful when the matter came to an end.Success or failure is here.

Seeing Lin Jingyu's relaxed expression, Daiyu couldn't hide her nervousness. "elder brother"

That night when they went back after seeing the drawings of the Grand View Garden in Rongguo Mansion, Lin Jingyu clearly told Daiyu that the Grand View Garden was too luxurious for the Jia family to build.

"The drawings of the Grand View Garden should be made by famous experts. If the drawings can be fully interpreted, then the Grand View Garden is indeed worthy of the status of a noble concubine." In Lin Jingyu's inner study, Lin Jingyu roughly drew the Grand View Garden on paper. sketches.

"That's natural, and not everyone has such a great fortune. The ancestors and uncles naturally can't let the imperial concubine feel ashamed." Standing next to Lin Jingyu, watching Lin Jingyu's drawing, listening to Lin Jingyu's sigh, her tone is full of doubts, It seemed that she didn't understand why Lin Jingyu said this.

Lin Jingyu put down her pen, "In other words, without a few million silver, the Grand View Garden cannot be built."

"How many millions?" The Lin family's secret account is in the hands of Lin Jingyu, and the one in Daiyu's hand is the bill on Lin Jiaming's face. It was saved from Lin Ruhai's salary over the years, the Lin family's fields and manor, and Jia Min's dowry.The money that Daiyu usually hands over is to maintain the daily expenses of the entire Lin family and to welcome and send them during festivals. In Daiyu's eyes, perhaps all the Lin family's property can barely add up to several million.It is unbelievable for Daiyu that Jia's family built a garden with millions of dollars.

"The building of this mansion doesn't look very good. It's a laborious effort. When we were renovating this mansion, you were in the capital, and you would come over from time to time to check the progress and check the account books. How much did you use?" See Daiyu silent Without speaking, Lin Jingyu said with a smile: "At the beginning it was just a renovation, many things were ready-made, and the Grand View Garden was newly built."

"A few million is a lot..."

Daiyu lived in Rongguo Mansion for a few years and saw some problems.At that time, I felt that the Rongguo Mansion's family had a great career, and it was inevitable that Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng, who were in charge of the family, hadn't seen it.Now that she is the director of the family, she vaguely feels that although Rongguo Mansion looks bright and beautiful on the outside, it is rotten inside.It can be seen that on the day when Jia's mother celebrated her birthday, the two women guarding the house dared to embarrass You Shi of Ningguo Mansion.Even if Youshi no longer has the right to speak in Ningguo Mansion, she is not something you can show face to a servant like her as a master.

"For Rongguo Mansion, the Grand View Garden must be built. A few million is not a lot, but don't you have a few in-laws? A few in-laws and their families borrow a little, and the Grand View Garden will be built."

Seeing that Daiyu was full of disbelief, Lin Jingyu continued: "The relationship between the historians and Jia's family has long been estranged. The Wang family has already contributed their efforts, and Mr. Wang is here. It is not easy for the old ancestors to hit the Wang family. Careful calculation Come on, it is the best choice for the Xue family to lose power and us to lose our parents."

"This is not a small sum! Who has such a large family to fill this hole?" Daiyu knew the twists and turns without thinking. The connection between the Xue family and the Jia family is Mrs. Wang, not Jia. The serious relatives of the family, the big ones naturally became them.

Seeing that Daiyu's focus was on numbers, Lin Jingyu thought about it and told Daiyu about it. "It's not a question of how much to borrow, it's that we can't borrow at all." Hearing what Lin Jingyu said, although Daiyu was puzzled, she didn't ask why in a hurry.Seeing this, Lin Jingyu said seriously: "The Jia family violated the emperor's taboo."

Daiyu's heart trembled, and her complexion changed. "what happened?"

Lin Jingyu said lightly: "Because of party disputes, because of Jia Rong's daughter-in-law Qin."

"In the entire Jia family, only the second uncle is a fifth-rank official. The others are false titles. How could he get involved in party disputes?" Urgently, he retorted impatiently: "What does this have to do with a woman in the inner house of the Qin family?"

Lin Jingyu felt that if Daiyu knew the answer to the latter question, the former one would not be important. "Jia Rong's daughter-in-law, Qin Shi, is the daughter of the former prince."

Daiyu was startled by these words, sat down on the chair, didn't come back to her senses for a while, and murmured to excuse the Jia family: "They may not know, and if they don't say they don't know, they are innocent, but at least... "

Lin Jingyu shattered Daiyu's extravagant hope with one sentence: "The wild baby brought by a health care hall of the Qin family has become Jia Rong's daughter-in-law. Jia Rong is the only heir of the third generation of Ningguo Mansion. Not to mention her adopted daughter, she is Qin Bangye's own daughter. They can't even be ranked high. Besides, the name of the grandson's daughter-in-law of the Ningguo Mansion is too unworthy of the specifications of her funeral."

Daiyu had met Qin Keqing before. She was a guest at the Rongguo Mansion and accompanied Jia Mu to the Ningguo Mansion. She clearly saw how Jia Mu treated Qin Keqing. It stands to reason that Jia Rong is Jia Mu's nephew and great-grandson. Well, a nephew and great-granddaughter-in-law from a small family in the Qin family shouldn't be valued so much by her grandmother.

"Where do they have such courage?"

Daiyu was in a trance for several days. This news was a big blow to her.No matter how much anger she received in Rongguo Mansion, Rongguo Mansion was her natal family.At this moment, the flowers are blooming and blooming in clusters, but it is just that the building is about to collapse, and it will disperse at some point.

After being sad for several days, Daiyu finally regained her composure and started to think about other things.After thinking about it, Daiyu told Lin Jingyu at that time that the money could not be borrowed.It doesn't matter to the Xue family, the cousins ​​of the Xue family on the left and right bear the name of the imperial merchant and rely on the protection of their ancestors, they will always have a bowl of food.Her Lin family can't do it, her brother Han Chuang has studied hard for many years, just waiting for the gold list to get a good future.Throughout the ages, she had never heard of a student who annoyed the emperor could become an official. Even if he became an official, he would not be reused.

Even at that time, she was flustered, but after more than half a year, Daiyu's mood also calmed down.Knowing this in her heart, Daiyu became less concerned about Rongguo Mansion, and did not go to Rongguo Mansion often.

Seeing that Lin Jingyu just nodded in response to her, Daiyu was concerned and asked Lin Jingyu in a low voice. "Brother, do you want to tell the ancestor?"

Daiyu's words were unclear, but Lin Jingyu understood Daiyu's meaning, glanced at the little maid who lowered her head to lead the way, and said with a smile: "You just worry too much about your body so you can't take care of your body. If the sentence is not clear, it will be revealed, the ancestor's wisdom is in his hands, how can he not be clear?"

It's good to be clear about this matter, how can I bring it up and say it?Daiyu understood Lin Jingyu's words, and said with a smile, "I'm not at ease."

"If it's heavier, you'll be at ease. It eats less than cats. It's strange if you feel at ease. Madam Su has told me several times."

After being interrupted by Lin Jingyu, Daiyu's nervousness suddenly eased a lot. "It's not like you haven't eaten the medicinal food cooked by Nanny An."

Daiyu is weak, and Lin Jingyu only treated her according to the prescription Jia Min used before.After Madam An and Madam Su came, she changed the prescription to be more suitable for Daiyu's body, and made it for Daiyu according to the number of days.Medicinal diet, the first time you eat it fresh, the second time you eat it is okay, and you eat it every day, even if you change the pattern, it can't change the essence of its medicinal diet.In other words, although the taste is not very good, the effect is really good, and Daiyu's health has improved a lot.Regarding Daiyu's resentment, Lin Jingyu naturally pretended not to see it.

Walking to Jiamu's main room, the little maid opened the curtain, Lin Jingyu and Daiyu looked at each other and smiled, and walked in calmly.
