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

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies. Mrs. Wang does not want to be suppressed by Jia Mu, but suppresses Li Wan everywhere.Now that Li Wan is decent, how can she bear it?Thinking of the eldest son Jia Zhu who died young, he wished they could change their husband and wife.

"If my Zhu'er was still there, I would go out and live on my own earlier, would I still have to suffer from such a useless air?"

With Jia's mother on top, Mrs. Wang could only take a step back.But if Jia Zhu gets an official position and is distributed, she will be the old lady in charge.The gap between cloud and mud.

Mama Li's eyes rolled wildly.

"Ma'am, although the national filial piety has lasted for a year, it's only half past, and there are people discussing relatives in private, just waiting for the end of the filial piety period. Why don't we..."

"What did you say?"

Mrs. Wang was annoyed, her eyes were fierce, which made people panic.

Fortunately, Mama Li is not a good person, instead of being surprised, she smiled and said flatteringly.

"Our brother is fourteen, and it is time to talk about marriage when he is on the fifteenth day of filial piety. When the time comes, hire a capable girl and come back. You don't have to count on the old lady. If you go out again, aren't you the mother-in-law? Who is she? Can you handle it with a single sentence?"

Accustomed to seeing Jia Mu being the head of the house, Mrs. Wang had long been moved, but she raised her hand to straighten her hair but didn't speak directly.

"With the old lady and the master here, how can I have the final say on Baoyu's affairs? Besides, it's easy to find a good one."

The second son of the fifth-rank official, they are pampered like jewels and treasures by their own family, but they can't even be ranked outside.Now, by the name of the Rongguo Mansion, he is called the Young Master of the Duke's Mansion, who doesn't know the truth behind it?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang was even more depressed.

"I was optimistic about Bao girl and didn't care about her brother's bastard. Who would have thought that she would go away without a sound. It was a waste of my thoughts. Otherwise, why would I be so embarrassed."

Mother Li suggested quietly.

"Aside from Miss Bao, isn't there another Miss Lin?"

"fart!"

Mrs. Wang slapped the table with her hand, her eyes widening with anger.

"I will never let her into my house unless I die!"

Mother Li hurriedly knelt down.

"Madam calm down, just listen to me. Miss Lin has been close to our brother since childhood. If it were her, my brother would be happy and get closer to his wife. Not to mention that her father is now a third-rank, so he can easily arrange a place for our brother." Good position. Then..."

It was difficult to say the last words. Mother Li got up and leaned into Mrs. Wang's ear, her eyes stern.

"Who in our family doesn't know that Miss Lin's health was not good when she was young. She has been raised for the past two years to be stronger, but her inner body is weak. Who knows how many years she will live in the future? As long as she brings benefits to our brother, when she dies, Isn't it all up to the wife to decide?"

Mrs. Wang's heart was beating wildly, and the corners of her mouth could not bear to rise.

"If she really marries Baoyu, she will be my daughter-in-law. How can she say these things? Don't slap her."

Mother Li knew that she was moved, so she slapped her mouth twice perfunctorily.

"It should be beaten, it should be beaten, I said something wrong. It is right for a mother-in-law to set rules for her daughter-in-law. Even if Miss Lin can't stand it, it is because she is weak and unlucky, and has nothing to do with the wife."

If Jia Baoyu is really allowed to marry Lin Daiyu, the benefits will be more than that.It is impossible to say that she will die of illness one day, and then hire a stronger successor.If Zuo only gets along for two or three years, he can change Baoyu's future, why not do it?

Mrs. Wang became more and more excited, and seriously calculated.

Seeing her like this, Li's mother is very proud and has her own thoughts.

If the future Second Mistress Bao is like Xue Baochai, she will be good at running the family, but how can they have the status of old mothers?For example, Lin Daiyu is good. When the time comes, there will be no old lady to back her up. Isn't it because of their dominance?

Several nursing mothers exchanged news and drank happily.

After more than a month, Lin Ruhai finally returned to the capital, washed and changed clothes, and went to the palace to have a face-to-face meeting before he had time to ask his two daughters to talk.

"How are you all these days when I'm not here? Thanks to Cheng Qian's family, I can't sleep at night."

After being separated for many days, the father and daughter had a good time reminiscing about the past and comforting each other for a long time before they got to business.

"There is an incident in Fujian, and I will return to Beijing to receive rewards around the end of the year. The incident in Jiangnan has just begun, and Cheng Qian has received orders from the emperor. I am afraid that many people will come to the house in the near future, so you can just perfunctory."

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled.

"Father also looks down on us. A few days ago, many young girls came to us to send invitations to go on a trip to the lake. They said they were sick several times but couldn't make it, so my sister invited people by herself, but put two eagles at the banquet. , I was so scared that no one dared to come again.”

The corner of Lin Ruhai's mouth twitched, and he was about to blame, but Lin Yun said innocently.

"What does it have to do with me? We are enjoying the flowers in the outskirts of the city, and it happens that the Liu family's hunting ground is next to it, and it happens that their young master is drunk and releases an eagle. What does that have to do with me?"

It seemed that it had nothing to do with her, but Lin Ruhai didn't dare to believe it.

"Really?"

The two sisters winked at each other, and it took a while to explain to Lin Ruhai.

"It was the young master of the Liu family who invited his elder brother to go hunting, and he tried to threaten him after talking and laughing, so he released the eagle. Coincidentally, we were nearby, so we will deal with him together."

Lin Ruhai has been away from Beijing for too long, and although she has heard about many things, she doesn't know the details. It is only after listening to their explanations that she understands.

"Your Majesty wants to alienate Jiu Xun. It's the best policy. It's just that most of the younger generations raised in these families are arrogant. How many Feng Ziying are there? It's hard for Cheng Qian. I will mention it to the emperor when I enter the palace in two days. You don't have to worry."

After learning some trivial matters about the capital from their sisters, Lin Ruhai analyzed and dealt with them until the sun went down.

"It's not early, father should go to bed early, and it won't be too late tomorrow."

Lin Yun got up and asked Lin Ruhai to go back to rest. Lin Daiyu had already ordered people to prepare bedding.The two got along for a long time, and everything about the housekeeper became more and more harmonious.

Lin Ruhai looked at them and said suddenly.

"In Fujian, Cao Tongxuan proposed marriage to me and invited his mother to Beijing after talking about the country's filial piety."

Suddenly saying this, Lin Yun was taken aback for a moment, then asked with a smile.

"Then the father definitely refused?"

She seemed to have expected this appearance, and she didn't seem to care.It made Lin Ruhai feel aggrieved.

"You haven't reached Ji yet, he is staring at you, wishing you could take it back to the nest. You are only seventh rank now, how dare you think about the daughter of a third rank official, go dreaming!"

With a snort, he flicked his sleeves and went out.

Lin Daiyu looked around and sighed deliberately.

"Father is reassuring you. He is really responsible. If I met such a person, I would have married long ago."

While joking, he suddenly thought of Jia Baoyu.When they were young, everyone made fun of them, and she thought she would be dependable for life. Now that she thinks about it calmly, why did Jia Baoyu say it himself?After all, it was just a big dream when I was young.

He pulled himself together and continued.

"Although the two of you haven't made up your mind yet, you have made it clear to the parents of the three parties. You can't run away. In two or three years, you will go to someone else's house to be a daughter-in-law."

Lin Yun is not like a feudal woman, she is not shy at all, and she is straightforward.

"If you like it, you will naturally marry. If you don't like it, who can force me into the sedan chair? If you have the time to tease me, why not think about yourself. Sister Bao is in charge of nearly a hundred people. You don't know what you will do in the future."

Lin Daiyu hummed at her.

"Why don't you know, can't I be an official's wife?"

"you?"

With the corner of his mouth turned down, Lin Yun made no effort to hide his suspicion and disdain.

"Don't say that your temperament can't be worldly. Even if you get married in the future, it will be a small quarrel for three or five days, and a big quarrel for ten days. If you say that you will follow Sister Bao in the future, there is still a possibility."

"Bah, spoiling your prestige by making others want to destroy your prestige, and belittling your own sister. In the future, you will have a daughter as fierce as you, and you won't be able to marry her!"

Lin Daiyu quarreled like a little girl, and she was harmless to Lin Yun.

"That's a good relationship. If you don't want to marry, you can stay at home. If her father doesn't want to raise her, just kick her out of the house."

The more she said it, the more shameful it became. Li Nanny's face was distorted, and she reminded loudly outside the door.

"It's getting late, girls, let's go back and take a shower and rest. The master has made great achievements this time, and tomorrow he won't be able to set up a case to receive a reward, and he still needs to cultivate his energy."

It was only then that they remembered that there was another "door god", the two quickly shut up, and quarreled back and forth with their eyebrows and eyes before going back to their rooms.

As Lin Ruhai returned home and Cheng Qian was busy, the sisters also had more chores. When they finally got their attention to Jia's family, it was already Jia's mother's birthday.

Although during the filial piety period, Mother Jia's birthday had to be celebrated, not to mention that Mother Jia's seniority was higher than Concubine Zhen and Jia Jing, so the observance of filial piety did not have to be too strict.I can only play music to celebrate, but the family reunion is still possible.

Ping'er came early to deliver the post.

"Our mansion hasn't been lively for several months, and we have something to respect the old man. The East mansion can only come to the birthday party for a formality. Grandma is afraid that it will be too deserted, so she asked me to invite you to stay for two days."

After speaking, he sent a red paper invitation card.Because the country's filial piety has not been bronzed, otherwise this invitation would be enough for an ordinary family to eat for half a month.

Lin Yun took it with one hand, but put it on the table without opening it.

"Since it's you who came here, I'm not afraid to tell the truth. Although our sisters go home, we stay Chunxian Chunyan to watch the yard, and we have heard a little about those things in the mansion. If we go back, we can only rest in the Jiangyun Pavilion. You can't get in."

Smart people are easy to talk, and Ping'er immediately understood.

"The garden is full of brothers and sisters-in-law. What are you doing in there? Second Mistress is less than three months old, so you can live in the Jiangyun Pavilion to take care of her."

Lin Yun nodded, then opened the invitation to read, and then listened to Ping'er.

"Although Chunxian can pass on messages to you, there are some things she doesn't know. Let me tell you a few more things. When the two girls meet at home, don't make a fuss. Be careful to let outsiders know the joke."

Sigh first, and tell the story of Second Sister You, and then talk about Jia Lan studying with Jia Zheng and moving to the front yard, Li Wan's visit to the family and other things that they might encounter when they return to Jia's house.Lastly, bring it up again.

"The traitor the girl mentioned was really not found, but Grandma asked Grandma Zhen, and she did find a few drunk brothers. It's just that the ones in our house are not easy to interrogate and publicize. This time the old lady celebrates her birthday. Ladies, don't worry."

If the matter is found out in another family, it is very likely that it will be ignored. When Ping'er mentioned it at this time, he probably meant the same thing.

Lin Yun refused.She is not a person who suffers for nothing, let alone knowingly letting go.

"It's not convenient for you to check, just give me the list. No matter who their purpose is, whether the offender is a son or a servant, it will not work if I am involved!"

Lin Daiyu, who was sitting next to him drinking tea and putting on decorations, also interjected, with a look of annoyance on his face.

"It's good luck to avoid it, otherwise there will be a lawsuit. Whoever he is, can he make fun of girls if he is rich and powerful? He is not a good person. How many girls' families have been saved by taking him."

Today's Lin family really has the confidence to say this, Ping'er had no choice but to agree.

"When I went back, I asked Grandma, and asked Grandma Zhen to write the list and send it. By the way, there is one more thing. The second wife has already sent a promise to send a two-month case to Xi Renzheng. Pay attention."
