Lin Jiajingyu's Counterattack in the Red Chamber

After Jia's mother's words came out of her mouth, Daiyu, who was laughing at Yanyan, lowered her head and spread out the sandalwood fan in her hand, gently shaking the fan without saying a word.

Mother Jia is eighty this year. There is an old saying that a whole life is a hurdle. Who knows if Mother Jia can make it this year.Besides, Mother Jia will turn 81 in just over two months. To be disrespectful, who knows how many years the Rongguo Mansion can keep her?

Jia Mu spoke better than she sang.

"Old Ancestor, what are you talking about?" Wang Xifeng continued, "Sister Qiao is still around."

Lin Jingyu has always thought that his second sister-in-law is a wonderful person, and sister Qiao is a married woman, unless Jia's family is wiped out, she won't be able to do it no matter what.

Mother Jia ignored Wang Xifeng, "I don't have a few years to live, if I don't pay back the money when I die, you can use my coffin book to pay off the debt, and when the time comes, look at the good feng shui on the mountain, you Find a bed mat, roll it up and throw it on it."

As soon as Mother Jia's words fell to the ground, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, who were daughters-in-law, and Wang Xifeng, who was the granddaughter-in-law, immediately stood up and knelt on the ground.

"Ancestors"

Lin Jingyu and Daiyu also stood up in shock.

Mother Jia didn't even look at the three people kneeling on the ground, because she spoke in a hurry just now, she gasped and said to Lin Jingyu, "Don't be afraid, no one who pokes anyone's back will poke you!"

Older gingers are more spicy!

Lin Jingyu and Daiyu looked at each other, took half a step back and stood behind Wang Xifeng who was kneeling on the ground, but still did not kneel down.If you kneel down, you won't be able to get up.

Today, not to mention that Mother Jia put the knife on her own neck, even if she put the knife on his neck today, Lin Jingyu would not budge.

"Grandfather, you are cutting my life." Lin Jingyu smiled after glancing at the three people kneeling on the ground, "Grandfather, you should let the two aunts and Lian's second sister-in-law get up."

Mother Jia snapped, "Let them kneel, short-sighted things!"

Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng buried their heads deeply.

Lin Jingyu's belly row, you can see far, so far that you even fell in love with the daughter of the deposed prince.

Lin Jingyu gave Daiyu a wink, and Daiyu said: "Old Ancestor, let the first aunt and the second aunt get up, my brother and I feel uncomfortable standing here. How can there be any reason for the elders to kneel and the younger ones to stand? "Even so, neither of them planned to kneel with them.

"Get up, all of you." Mother Jia gave a hateful look, usually thinking about her own little calculations, she opened and closed her eyes and pretended not to see, but when was this?Even counting his one-acre three-point land, he is as smart as a dog.

The three stood up. Mrs. Xing's ability has improved a lot recently, although she still couldn't read her eyes as always, "Ancestor, I really have no power. How confident are you. My natal family still depends on me, how can there be any dowry? I am the head of the house in the yard, but I have to ask my younger siblings for money in my house just to buy a box of rouge."

Mrs. Xing's words were reasonable, she picked herself up in a few words.Mother Jia would definitely feel that her eldest daughter-in-law is enlightened at this time, if he and Daiyu were not here...

Lin Jingyu didn't look at Jia's mother's face, just looking at his grandmother's rising and falling chest, Lin Jingyu deeply felt his grandmother's desire to eat his eldest aunt alive.

Mother Jia panted heavily, "Good, good, very good."

"The ancestors calm down."

Grandfather, are you all right? "

Mother Jia waved her hand, and opened her eyes after closing her eyes for a long time, "You all sit down and stand here with long sticks, are you taller than the sky?"

Several people sat down in their seats, and Mother Jia asked with a serious face, "Jingyu, tell me the truth today, what do you mean?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "Old Ancestor, Brother is an old man, he couldn't bear to ask, so I just opened my mouth. Although my words are not pleasant, they are really true, aren't they?"

Mother Jia took a look at Daiyu, without the tone of using Daiyu as her eyeball before, and looked straight at Lin Jingyu: "I'm asking about your brother, although you are now the Lin family's family, but you still can't be the Lin family's." host."

Both Lin Jingyu and Daiyu's expressions changed. Lin Jingyu closed her eyes and endured it, and said with a smile: "Old ancestor, when my mother was still alive, the New Year's etiquette sent to Rongguo Mansion every year was a big part of the family. As for expenses, my uncle should know how much my father's salary is, but my ancestors still don't know how much my Lin family has?"

Seeing that several people were looking at him, Lin Jingyu continued: "Since my father left, I haven't made any income in recent years, and I have been sitting on empty food. I don't know if God will show mercy next year. I have to leave some room, right? I am sixteen this year, and the children of people my age can go to private schools, and Daiyu is not too young. I made up my mind early in the morning, no matter whether I can win next year's spring, Daiyu and I can't delay any longer , my betrothal gift, Daiyu's dowry, what's left?"

Lin Jingyu looked directly at Jia Mu, "Old Ancestor, let me show you the truth, even if I want to, I am powerless."

As soon as Lin Jingyu finished speaking, Jia's mother leaned back on the flower couch and said after a while: "Don't fool me with those words, I can estimate how much your father's salary is. What does this ballad mean? My old lady can understand it. Jiangsu and Zhejiang are a land of fish and rice, and your father is an inspector of salt and censor. I still know a thing or two about officialdom."

Lin Jingyu said solemnly: "Father has been self-denying and devoted to public affairs all his life, and he is loyal to the emperor and the people. He has been in office for more than ten years, and he has been praised by the people. Let's go. The deceased is the elder, so please ask grandma to leave some peace for father."

"I know your father is a good official. Otherwise, the emperor wouldn't use him, the emperor wouldn't trust him today, and the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang wouldn't support him." Jiamu touched the Buddhist beads with wrinkled hands. She was sick and ill, and her body never recovered. She knelt in the temple for three days before asking for this string of prayer beads and came back. When she came back on the third day, her face was blue, and her hands were colder than ice for three or nine days.

Seeing Lin Jingyu's serious expression, Jia's mother saw Lin Jingyu as Jia Baoyu who was kneeling to wear Buddhist beads for her at that time.

"Why are you giving me sloppy eyes? The broken ship still has three catties of iron. When the old Duke was still there, the Rongguo Mansion was much more prominent than it is now. Your mother is the only daughter of me and the old Duke, and your father is my daughter. You and the old duke chose it after thousands of choices. If your father is really a humble scholar, can you get into my eyes? Can you get into the old duke's eyes?"

Lin Jingyu couldn't find a rebuttal for a while, and turned the jade wrench in her hand with a smile, "Ancestor, father and mother are truly a match made in heaven, which proves that you and your grandfather did not pick the wrong person."

"At the beginning, both your father and your mother said that you were a golden boy and a jade girl, a match made in heaven, and the Lin family and the Rongguo Mansion were also well matched. In the Rongguo Mansion's generation, your eldest uncle was a worthless one, and your second uncle was noble, and became a fifth-rank at the foot of the emperor. Little official, his salary is not enough for him to buy paper and pen. In the next generation, your cousin donated a sixth-rank co-prefect to marry a daughter-in-law, and your eldest cousin needs support in the palace. Everyone in the officialdom Take care, the expenses of such a large family will almost consume the family property saved in the early years."

Jia's mother looked at Lin Jingyu and said, "But your family is different. Your father is capable and doesn't have a lot of expenses. Even if you can only go out and not go in these two years, how much can you two brothers and sisters use? Not including your father's savings over the years. With your mother's dowry, your Lin family's family property should be similar to that of the Rongguo Mansion's family property when the old Duke was there."

Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng all gasped and looked at Lin Jingyu in shock, even Daiyu subconsciously looked at Lin Jingyu.

Lin Jingyu pinched her palm hard, and the pain made Lin Jingyu, who was frightened, quickly regained her senses, and swallowed to moisten the dry saliva in her hair.Lin Jingyu always felt that it was impossible for Jia's mother to know the Lin family's family background. After more than ten years, Jia's mother could not figure out the Lin family's account.Who knew she was doing that? !

Seeing Lin Jingyu biting her lips with a gloomy face, Daiyu took over the conversation with a smile, "Who owns something that I didn't put in so much painstaking effort to buy? Even a stone in my house is named Lin. My ancestors thought The stone looks novel, and we wanted to take it to the Rongguo Mansion for two days to play with on a whim, so we at least need to know who to ask questions in the future, right?"

After going around and around, Daiyu turned the conversation back to the beginning.

Mother Jia breathed a sigh of relief, "Since we're talking about this, what do you mean?"

The three still didn't answer.

Mother Jia was furious. Today she exhausted her relationship with the Lin family before talking about this. Who is it for?No matter who agrees first, they will discuss how to do it later, won't it be enough? !

"Since none of you speak up, if you can't afford to repair the Rongguo Mansion in Daguanyuan, then don't repair it. Yuan Chun was raised by me. Anyway, I still have a bit of face in front of her. Tomorrow, I will pass a sign into the palace, saying that Jia's family let me go." She's ashamed, the Jia family can't afford a place for her to stay." Jia's mother became anxious for a moment, she even forgot her honorific title, and directly called out Jia Yuanchun's boudoir name.

Jia Yuanchun was born to Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang is the one who gets the most face from the noble concubine, and there is another Baoyu waiting for his elder sister to talk to her. Anyway, let the two of them talk to each other. "Old Ancestor, what are you talking about?"

"Second daughter-in-law, the imperial concubine crawled out of your stomach, you should tell me first."

Mrs. Wang thought for a while, looked at Lin Jingyu and said, "Jingyu, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart, I can't plug this gap myself, otherwise I wouldn't ask you to borrow money to build the Grand View Garden, the next generation Brother Li, you are ignorant, and you don’t know when you will be able to wake up. Your cousins ​​don’t have much communication, and you don’t have much affection. Even if you make a written statement now, you don’t believe him very much. But Daiyu is different, Daiyu You and Baoyu grew up together as children, childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, if the two of them get married, you can't trust Baoyu, and you can't trust your own sister?"

Lin Jingyu and Daiyu stood up immediately, Daiyu got up in a hurry, and turned over the teacups and fruit bowls on the table, only to hear a "bang chug", the fragments of the tea cups splashed, and the fruit bowls Vegetables and fruits scattered all over the ground.

"Second aunt, whose elder brother is still raised in the inner curtain at the age of twelve or thirteen? I thought that there were two precious girls in the Rongguo Mansion. Many people asked me about the daughters of the Rongguo Mansion. You have to first Get ready for the dowry, maybe one day someone will come to ask to marry the younger sister of the imperial concubine."

Lin Jingyu gave Daiyu a hand, "Second Aunt, let me also have a heart-to-heart word with you. I will not borrow the money, but I can borrow the sapphire dragon pattern Zihao pen enshrined in the family temple. By the way, I will borrow it in the spirit of relatives." In my duty, I can help write a letter to borrow money from the entire capital. I just don’t know whether to raise all the money first, or the decree of the palace’s denunciation comes down first. After careful calculation, I should bring the entire capital’s scholars together to ask for the decree. of it!"

After taking Daiyu for two steps, Lin Jingyu turned her head and said to Mrs. Wang: "By the way, Second Aunt, don't think that Jia Baoyu was born with jade as a blessing. Jia Rong’s daughter-in-law from Ningguo Mansion? Patriarch, do you think so?”

Frightened by Lin Jingyu's words, and frightened and angry for a moment, Jia Mu trembled after two steps, and said sharply: "Jingyu, come back, Lin Jingyu, stop for me. If you go out of this door today , don’t cross the threshold of the Rongguo Mansion in the future.”

"Don't worry, I will never pass by the gate of Rongguo Mansion in the future."
