Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

Li Wan was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just said: "It's so good, why did you mention your Uncle Lin?"

"Today Lilian's second uncle took Uncle Lin to the school for a walk, but the old man said that he had something to do at home and was going back. He only left us a seven-character couplet and told us to come back to school tomorrow. Uncle Lin was outside. Hearing that, he directly matched the couplets. Uncle Lian asked him to recognize everyone in our school, so that we can get to know each other when we go to school together in the future."

Jia Lan said, with a bit of reverence in his eyes: "I saw that Uncle Lin was about the same age as me, but he was so powerful. I listened to my husband reading the couplets and was about to take notes, but Uncle Lin was right. up."

Li Wan listened, sighing silently in his heart.

She probably knows better than some of the masters in Jia's family how dirty the school is. After all, her Lan'er is studying in the school, and sometimes she will talk to her about the school, and she will also persuade Jia Lan , try to minimize troubles at home, and endure what you can, and don't bother with irrelevant ones, so as not to cause trouble.

As for the old gentleman in the family school, his name is Jia Dairu, and he is from Jiamu's generation.He is an old Confucian, his knowledge is not very high, and he is not always loyal to his duties, but because of his seniority, no one dares to find fault with him.

He managed the Jia Family School, and he shouldn't have used it for personal gain. In fact, he usually charged fees to the students of the family school.

As for Jia Dairu's grandson, Jia Rui, relying on his grandfather's authority, he often used public announcements in school to blackmail his children to invite him; Helping the evildoers to curry favor.

Li Wan knew early on that it would not be easy to learn well in this school. Fortunately, one of the descendants of Jia Jiajin's sect was named Jia Zhu. They are best friends on weekdays, the two go to school together, and in the chaotic home school, they barely support their studies.

As for Li Wan himself, due to his father's restrictions in the past, he didn't read much, and he couldn't teach his son much, so he could only urge him to memorize more and practice calligraphy every day, and manage his speech and behavior so that his conduct would not be damaged.There is no one to say about the sour place in the center.

Hearing Jia Lan's praise of Chongyu's talent, and thinking that Lin's uncle was from Tanhua's background, she thought about reducing her relationship with Daiyu because of today's incident, so she couldn't help thinking again.

She has lived in Jia's mansion for these years, no matter how she only takes care of the children and does not care about foreign affairs, she also knows that the internal affairs of Rongguo mansion are gradually being controlled by the Wang family.She also learned about some things that happened in the Jia family before she entered the family from her deceased husband.

Jia Amnesty's current wife, Mrs. Xing, is the stepmother.Not long after Jia Amnesty's first wife got married, Jia's mother gradually put down the power from her hands and transferred it to the eldest daughter-in-law.

After the second daughter-in-law Mrs. Wang entered the door, Jia Mu's eldest daughter-in-law gradually fell ill and became weaker day by day. Finally, she had to hand over the internal affairs of the mansion to Mrs. Wang.Even so, it didn't take long for the eldest daughter-in-law to die.

The internal affairs of the Rongguo Mansion were in the hands of Mrs. Wang. Even if Mrs. Xing came in, Mrs. Wang never let go of power. It was not until after Wang Xifeng, a daughter from the Wang family, married Jia Lian, that Mrs. Wang said that she would return the internal affairs to the big house. .But Jia She's eldest son has long since passed away, and Jia Lian's son this time is the first heir of Jia She's family. Mrs. Wang just delegated power at this time, and it was Wang Xifeng's turn to manage the family affairs.

This is just the internal affairs of the government.As for the relationship between the government and the opposition, Li Wan doesn't know much about it, but what he knows is that including the Ningguo Mansion and the Rongning and Ningfu's combined Jia family, there are not many people who really have real power in the court, but the Wang family Over there, Mrs. Wang's elder brother is gaining power day by day.

The Jia family's greatest hope now is not the son of the family, but Yuan Chun, the eldest daughter of Mrs. Wang who was sent to the palace.This is also considered half of the royal family.

Li Wan was able to live a stable life with his son in the mansion, so he naturally had his own opinion on the situation in the mansion.

Daiyu has just arrived, and Jiamu has shown all kinds of love and affection for Daiyu, and because Baoyu treats Daiyu slightly differently, Jiamu is even more determined to promote the marriage of Jia and Lin's two families.

But Li Wan knew that Mrs. Wang's real favorite daughter-in-law was Xue Baochai of the Xue family.If the Wang family wants to control the Jia family more thoroughly, the best way is of course that even the future Second Mistress Bao is a member of their Wang family.

On Aunt Xue's side, Mrs. Wang may have gone to discuss it early, so that Xue Baochai is now 13 years old, and she has never seen her.

Although it is said that there is an elder brother, the elder brother has not yet married, and the younger sister should not be in a hurry to get married, but in practice, everyone will see the partner together. It's right to settle the marriage first.Looking at it this way, it is not something that can be achieved in one or two years. Naturally, preparations should be made early.

It's just that Baoyu was young, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue never told others that the two sisters had discussed marriage behind their backs.

Until now, when Daiyu came, Mrs. Wang had a sense of crisis and was anxious to let Xue's family go to Beijing.

With such an inside story, Li Wan can guess a little bit.She usually pays attention to Tanchun secretly, and she also knows that Tanchun is alert, and she often serves the aunt by Mrs. Wang's side on weekdays, so she may be able to guess a little bit.So today she and Tanchun almost slipped up, that's all.

It was because Li Wan was concerned about Mrs. Wang that she thought about keeping a distance from Daiyu, but when Jia Lan mentioned Chongyu, she thought again, Lin Ruhai still supports the Lin family. Although Chongyu is young, she is so smart. There is also a great fortune, if she bet on the Lin family, it will be fine.Perhaps the more she gets close to the Lin family, the more her children will be able to obtain fame and a bright future.

Jia Lan didn't know that his mother had so many thoughts because of his own words. He just saw that his mother had stopped talking, so he obediently cleaned up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, and prepared the things for school tomorrow, and finally held his notebook. Book, sit and memorize.

After pondering for a while, Li Wan secretly laughed that he had missed the point.She is a widow who only knows how to serve her relatives and adopted son, and accompany her sister-in-law, so why should she care about the contest of so many people in power in the house?She just treats Daiyu as Sanchun, even if Baochai comes and lives in the mansion, she will treat her equally, that's all.

Mrs. Wang is still there, and marriage matters are based on the orders of her parents and the words of the matchmaker. She is just the elder sister-in-law. With so many elders still around, it is far from her turn to worry about Baoyu's marriage. She is still young, why should she embarrass herself with these things now?

Just thinking that the Lin family still has children like Chongyu, the balance in her heart is biased towards the Lin family after all.

Li Wan had an idea in his mind, so he came back to his senses and saw his son sitting beside him, holding a book, his little head was gradually shaking, and he couldn't help laughing.

She took the book in Jia Lan's hand, and heard Jia Lan yelling to read it.

Jia Lan woke up after yelling and hurriedly called for her mother.

Li Wan asked him to go to bed, and finally told him to spend more time with his Uncle Lin in the future, and if he encountered any doubts in his studies, he could also consult with Uncle Lin more often.

Jia Lan agreed one by one.

Silent all night.

Since Daiyu and Chongyu had already lived in Rongguo Mansion, and they had already met all sorts of people who should meet, Chongyu took the initiative to talk to Jiamu about going to school, and Jiamu arranged him to go to the family school.

Daiyu heard from Chongyu that she learned what she saw and heard at home, and knew how chaotic her family's learning was. Jia Daishan, an old Confucian, didn't care much about teaching and only let a group of children and teenagers mess around, so she couldn't help worrying about her brother's studies.

Chongyu comforted her, saying only that "those who are willing to read can read even in the busy city".

Daiyu thought about the three relocations of Mengmu's mother, and she had a thousand reluctances in her heart.

But now that he is living under someone else's roof, he can't say anything about asking another tutor, so he secretly wiped away his tears and silently prepared things for his younger brother to go to school, lest he was missing something.

She also took the initiative to ask her younger brother about his schoolwork every day, and occasionally discussed with each other, just like when they were in the Lin family.

But Baoyu, because Daiyu lived very close to each other and was taken by Jiamu together in normal times, there was no difference in diet and daily life. They mostly sat together during the day.Daiyu is going to play with the Sanchun sisters, or to talk to Li Wan, and Baoyu, who has obtained Jiamu's special permission to hang out between the curtains, also follows more, and the two become closer.

When Chongyu went to study, Jia Zheng took Baoyu's dislike even more and scolded him several times. Eun Zhun, there is no need to rush to school.

From then on, Baoyu felt that Chongyu was a bit of an eyesore.

He also loved Chongyu's handsome appearance, but it was a pity that Chongyu was studying hard day and night for the sake of studying, so he felt that Chongyu would probably be a beetle in the future, so he got tired of Chongyu for a while.Later, I saw Chongyu dragging Daiyu to discuss schoolwork together at night, and felt that Chongyu was disgusting, and brought his fairy-like sister to only care about economics and worldliness.

Baoyu has always been happy and angry for a while, and his temperament is often repeated.This is a child's temperament, and Jia's mother loves and favors him, which makes him feel unscrupulous.

Just because he was sitting and lying with Daiyu again, it made Daiyu see his impermanence and eccentricities.

Baoyu hated Chongyu, but Daiyu depended on Chongyu. Occasionally, Baoyu heard that Chongyu was not good, and the two had more disputes.

Daiyu always cried a lot, and remembering that Chongyu often told her not to provoke Baoyu, she often just sat in the room and wept alone in anger.

Piansheng Baoyu is a person who has no temper when facing beautiful and delicate girls. He gets angry for a while, even if he is facing girls, he usually calms down first and asks for peace.

Therefore, whenever he disagreed with Daiyu, he always regretted his recklessness first, and went to bow down, coaxing Daiyu to stop crying and turn around.

Seeing the two of them getting along, Jia's mother was secretly happy. She just felt that if the two jade children grew up together, they would be around the same age, and there was no need for them to have a deeper relationship, as long as they were intimate and familiar with each other like today, she would be able to get along with her. Lin Ruhai discussed and arranged a marriage for the children.

She also only regards Baoyu and Daiyu as her two jade children, and Chongyu is a little further back.However, she still compares Chongyu to Baoyu in terms of daily life, and because Chongyu goes to school, she even spends more than Baoyu in some places.

There was some confusion in the mansion, so the snarky servants saw it and secretly discussed that the two siblings from the Lin family spent the Jia family's food and drink, but they were so rude, even the serious masters of the Jia family could not compare.

This word reached Mrs. Wang's ears, and made Mrs. Wang sulky, wishing that her sister and her children would fly to Beijing with wings.

As everyone knows, Lin Ruhai had already prepared all the expenses for sending the two children to Beijing that day, and Mother Jia treated Chongyu like this because she thought that since Chongyu was spending the Lin family's money, Chongyu was the son of a beloved daughter and would live with Daiyu. It's not easy at all.
