[Red Mansion] Today is also not a person in Jia's house

After the palace examination was over, Lin Ruhai, who had been free for half a month, was summoned into the palace to accompany him in marking the examination papers. To protect justice, all examination examiners lived in the palace for five days, and they were not allowed to meet outsiders until the list was announced.

According to the usual practice, Lin Yun ordered the boy to close the door to thank the guests. Unexpectedly, someone reported it as soon as the door was closed.

"Miss, just now I found someone wandering beside us, not far or near, it's been a quarter of an hour."

After Liu Tong, there were frequent patrols outside the Lin family, and the arsonist was discovered in this way. If there were other people who approached with intentions, they would naturally be unable to escape.

Lin Yun tilted his head.

"who?"

"It looks like a son of a family. I have already notified Director Lin An to take a look."

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao had arrived, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lin An coming from a distance.

"It's none of your business here, go down."

After waving the boy back, Lin An moved closer to Lin Yun and lowered his voice.

"It's the second master Bao of Jia's family. He wandered around outside for several times. He seemed to want to come to the door, but he hesitated and didn't knock on the door."

"Jia Baoyu?"

Lin Yun frowned, he really didn't expect it to be him.But after thinking about it, it seemed to make sense, probably because he wanted to intercede with Mrs. Wang.

He can intercede for major matters such as murder and arson. I really don't know how his brain grows.

"Let him walk around outside, he probably won't have the guts to knock on the door. If he knocks, let him go."

Sneered twice, Lin Yunli ignored him, and went back to the inner courtyard after making arrangements.

Outside the door, Jia Baoyu was really hesitant, looking at the door of the Lin Mansion, he stretched out his hand several times but did not dare to knock on the door, hesitating.

After an unknown amount of time, I finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

The boy poked his head out.

"Who are you looking for?"

Jia Baoyu choked, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't recognize him.Then he breathed a sigh of relief and pretended nothing had happened.

"I'm a relative of your girl. I'm here to find your second girl. Please pass it on to me."

The boy looked up and down, as if looking at a fool.

"Are you a relative of our girl, not our master? The man came to his house looking for a girl, and he didn't even have a post. Hurry up, or I'll report to the official. What?"

He closed the door with his hands, yawned and went back to report to Lin An.

Jia Baoyu was locked out of the door, only to be aware of his disrespectful behavior.But if he wants to declare himself a family, how can he have the guts?

He walked down the steps with his head down, and was unwilling to look back, after all, he failed to muster up the courage again.

Listening to the report, Lin Yun sneered again and again.

"Let him go. Are you ready to prepare everything? Uncle Cao and Aunt Cao will go back tomorrow. Although I can't deliver it, I can't lose my courtesy."

How can I have the energy to take care of him when my own good things are in front of me?

Lin An immediately laughed.

"It's already been prepared. I just sent someone to deliver it to Cao's family this morning. The wedding is scheduled for next spring. Looking far away, it doesn't take long in reality. The master even ordered someone to prepare a dowry for the girl."

Marriage has a betrothal gift, and a marriage has a dowry, which has been the truth since ancient times.The richer the dowry for a woman, the more confidence she has in her husband's family.Women from rich families have a complete dowry from basic necessities of life to birth, old age, sickness and death.

Lin Ruhai harbored resentment towards this son-in-law who missed his daughter since he was a child. As soon as the wedding date was set, he ordered someone to prepare a dowry.

Lin Yun felt that it was a waste, and after just a few words of persuasion, he was reprimanded to turn his elbows away, so he simply let him go.

Mrs. Cao knew that she was afraid that her son would be overwhelmed, so she was in a hurry to go back to prepare for the wedding. Even though she had to do it in Fujian, she must not be overwhelmed by the limelight of the dowry.

With nearly a year to go before they get married, they are already comparing themselves to each other.

As the ultimate beneficiary, Lin Yun was a little embarrassed, but more happy.

"Have you found the person who will enter the palace? Don't be careless in sending clothes and food to father every day."

Diverting the topic, Lin Yun, as the eldest daughter in the family, still shoulders the responsibility of being a housekeeper, and has to do what needs to be done.

Five days passed by in the blink of an eye, and Lin Ruhai was released back. Seeing that he had lost some weight but was still in good spirits, he was busy making up for him again.

Then came the release of the list in April, and in March, the national filial piety period was coming to an end. Not only were there many good things for the people, but there was also the selection of a son-in-law before the list.But Lin Yun didn't have time to watch the fun, because Cheng Qian was going to be engaged to Prince Zhongshun's concubine daughter.

Nan Gongyu originally planned to leave last month, but waited until April for the engagement, and took care of it as the elder sister-in-law.

"Have you thought about it? If you give this gift out, you won't be able to take it back."

There were dozens of boxes in the courtyard of Cheng's mansion, and they were very red and festive, but the faces of the servants who carried the boxes did not show much joy.

Cheng Qian glanced sideways, dumbfounded.

"Of course you can't take it back when you send it out, sister-in-law, I'm not an asshole, making fun of other girls."

Avoiding the boy's gaze and leaning over, there was a bit of playfulness in his eyes.

"I've found out a long time ago. This girl is a concubine and is not favored, but she is gentle and virtuous. If you want to marry Prince Zhongshun, she is the most suitable. She is also beautiful."

When he said the last sentence, his face was full of youthful mischievousness, as if he was Cheng Qian who had just entered the capital three years ago.

Nangong Yu looked at his expression and sighed for a while.

"You have been different from your elder brother since you were young, but you don't want to go on this path. Forget it, I'll go back after you make a kiss. My mother urged me several times. You should think about how to explain it to your mother."

Mrs. Cheng didn't like Cheng Qian being too mundane, but she also knew that one had to be mundane in court, so she simply didn't come.

Cheng Qian cupped his hands in thanks.

"Thank you sister-in-law for helping me out, I know it well."

The engagement of Prince Zhongshun's daughter was quite a sensation. The dowry was carried around half of the capital city. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but she passed in front of the Lin residence.

Prince Zhongshun sent the invitation in person.

"Master Lin, my palace is married to the Cheng family, and it seems that it has nothing to do with the Lin family, but you are an uncle anyway, why don't you go have a wedding wine?"

"Thank you, son, I went to the palace to review the papers a few days ago, my body is not good, and I am really old, so I won't bother you."

He politely sent away Prince Zhongshun, then threw the invitation into the incense burner, and went to the backyard to play chess with his daughter during the vacation.

A few days after the engagement, the news came that Cheng Qian was promoted to be the servant of the household department, and it was Prince Zhongshun who sent the invitation in person.

"Master Lin, my sister-in-law is promoted, please show me your face. I know you are the most fair, but my sister-in-law is capable, so you can't always suppress him, you have to give him a chance to show off."

Cheng Qian followed Lin Ruhai, from working in the inspector's office at the beginning, to serving in the official department, and then transferred to the household department. Seeing that he has rich experience, his actual grade has not been promoted.Prince Zhongshun has something to say.

Lin Ruhai is still there.

"Now that he is following the prince, is he still worried about his future? Please congratulate me, the prince, I have ordered someone to send the congratulatory gift, so I won't be busy with young people anymore."

"This son will naturally not treat his own people badly."

He was obviously here to create trouble for Lin Ruhai, but it was as if his fist had hit the cotton. His son Zhongshun rushed in excitedly, rushed out angrily, and even scolded the old fox in front of the door.

After going back, he stopped Lin Ruhai in front of Cheng Qian and didn't mention it.

On April [-]th, Tanchun got married.

The team came out from Jia's mansion to Wei's mansion, looking so vast and mighty, in fact, it couldn't even compare to Cheng Qian's marriage ostentation.Dozens of dowries look bluffing, but anyone with sharp eyes can tell that none of them are full.

On the second day of the wedding, Ping'er came to Lin's mansion.

"The third girl asked me to send it to the two girls. She knows that the Jia family is sorry for you, and you should go if you don't go, but after all, they are sisters for many years."

The package was opened, and there were no valuables inside, only wedding money, wedding candy and the like.

"One more thing. The fourth girl went up the mountain just after the third girl went out. You don't have to go to Jia's house from now on."

Ping'er spoke with a smile, but tears flashed in his eyes.

Lin Yun stopped turning the bracelet.

The sisters in the Grand View Garden were all gone after all, and there was really no need to go again.

"There is an injustice and a debtor. I'm not confused. Since you're here, you just happened to help me deliver something to the Weifu. She kept it here."

Tilting her head to signal Ziling to take the box in the cabinet, she opened it to reveal a stack of banknotes inside, with 500 taels on top.

"She knows the exact number, so just give it to her. The second girl's share was brought to her when she went to Fujian, and the fourth girl's share, she didn't come to ask for it when she went up the mountain, so it can be seen that she really took it. So much money for her. It’s not safe to go up the mountain, you just tell her that it’s still kept here with me, and what’s hers is hers.”

The scenes of talking and laughing and drawing pictures back then are vivid in my mind, but in a blink of an eye, things are different.

Ping'er took the box, wiped away tears, still smiling.

"Hey, I would like to thank Ms. Lin on behalf of the three girls. The fourth girl will go to be a neighbor with Ms. Miaoyu, so there is no need to worry too much. It will be enough to send ten taels of silver every month. As for these, I am afraid it is better than the third girl. The dowry is quite a lot."

Jia's family had been emptied long ago, except for the money that Jia's mother left alone for the girls as dowry, there was not much to give at all.Sending this box over is equivalent to doubling Tanchun's dowry.

Ping'er left after clarifying the matter, and did not keep it annoying.When he reached the door, he stopped and looked back at Lin Daiyu.

"Second Miss, Second Lord..."

Seeing Lin Daiyu's indifferent expression, Ping'er knew that it was impossible for the two of them, so he turned to leave with an offended voice.

The house was quiet.

Lin Daiyu walked to the window and watched Ping'er's back disappear at the gate of the courtyard.

"That year when Lu Xue'an was working, Ping'er also left in a hurry. Times have changed, and things have changed. The room is full of sisters, only you and me are left."

Several major events were squeezed into half a month, which made people feel a lot of emotion, and it was said that Lin Daiyu was such a delicate person.Watching and watching, two tears fell, quickly wiped away, turned around and asked.

"Sister Yun's child is about to be born. I want to go and see. What kind of gifts do you think you want to prepare? I heard that it might be a daughter. The girl is delicate, so I should give you more good things."
