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

At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, in addition to the successful return of Feng Ziying and others to Beijing, there were several major events.

Xue Pan was beheaded, the king of Nan'an County was banished from Beijing, everyone in the Zhen family was exiled or sentenced, and so on. The big cases of the year were all settled within one or two months.

These things had nothing to do with Lin Yun, but they didn't expect Xue Baochai to come back quietly.

In the manor on the outskirts of the city, Lin Yun and Lin Daiyu entered quietly in a carriage, and Xue Baochai was waiting inside.

When she left years ago, she was still a young girl. Now when I see you again, the childishness on her face is completely gone. Only the shrewdness of a businessman and a standardized kindness remain.

"I thought you wouldn't come back."

Lin Yun sighed, feeling that the woman in front of her was very strange.

Lin Daiyu looked at her, didn't speak, but her eyes were slightly red.

On the contrary, Xue Baochai smiled from beginning to end, probably because she experienced so many things that it was difficult for her to be distracted by anything.

"I didn't intend to come back, but he is my brother after all, so I can't let him die in a different place. My mother is sick, so Yinglian came back with me."

"Yinglian, haven't they returned to Gusu?"

Lin Yun was in a trance, and things exceeded her expectations.

Xue Baochai took a sip of tea and explained in a leisurely manner.

"They went back. Later, when they heard that something happened to the Xue family, they took the initiative to write to me and invited me to Gusu, but I refused. Later, when I came to Fujian, I was really alone, and their mother and daughter said they would come to help."

"So that's it. I knew she was a good person. She wanted to learn poetry from me back then. If she wasn't pure in nature, how could she pursue such a pursuit?"

Lin Daiyu wiped her tears, causing Xue Baochai to laugh at her.

"In the past, you were the one who had the most tears, but now you still cry when you laugh? Stop it now, and let people see me and think I'm bullying you."

Being ridiculed by others, it is rare for Lin Daiyu not to go back.

Xue Baochai said again.

"I went north quietly. I didn't want to disturb anyone, but I thought I should tell you. Now that the women's workshop has started to make a profit, it doesn't need to be subsidized by the gang. I thought that if it can continue to grow, I will send Yinglian and the others like this. The orphaned mother and daughter are also taken in."

In the beginning, Women's Workshop was just an idea put forward by Lin Yun, and it was the pedal for Xue Baochai to stand up again. Now it is not easy to do it, Xue Baochai has regarded it as his own painstaking efforts, no longer a tool.

After rambling on for half an hour, Zhen Yinglian came in.

"Girl, it's getting late and we should go."

Lin Yun looked back and saw that Zhen Yinglian was not as shy as before, but more capable and calm, more like Xue Baochai back then.

"Look at me, it's rare to relax. I forget the time when I talk. Let's go when everything is packed."

Xue Baochai stood up and took out two round fans from the bundle behind him.

"Although this fan is not exquisite, it is the first finished product we made, and it is also the first batch of goods sold. Speaking of which, you are the source of the workshop, and I brought you two specially. It's a pity that it's winter now, so don't you need it?" superior."

Lin Yun's eyes brightened.

"You are used to using good things. If you want to say that they are exquisite, wouldn't they be reserved for high-ranking officials? Being able to make this in just one year shows your outstanding ability. How can you be willing to use it? Keep it in your collection."

Pick up the fan and take a closer look. The handle of the fan is made of bamboo that feels cool to the touch. The surface of the fan is made of ordinary silk cloth, but the painting is exquisite and has a unique elegance.It can be imagined that it must be a sought-after commodity among the people.

Lin Daiyu couldn't put it down even more.

""Road History" records that in the Tang Dynasty, Mian Bo Gao Yun said: "Li is light, affection is heavy, and a feather is sent a thousand miles away." It looks like a fan, but it is worth a thousand gold."

The three said goodbye, and Xue Baochai came and left quietly, without disturbing anyone in Jia's house.

At this time, Jia's family can't take care of her. Mrs. Wang hears that Yingchun is negotiating marriage with the governor of Fujian, and her heart is very hot.

"It stands to reason that the status of the second girl should not be worthy, but the sisters were raised under the old lady's knees since they were young. They are all the ladies of the Duke's Mansion. It is inevitable that they will be higher. When Baoyu discusses marriage, the princess may not No."

Seeing that Yingchun might climb higher, she actually thought of going higher.

Jia Zheng shook his hands and dropped the book.

"Are you confused? The second girl was able to marry high, not only because of looking at the old lady, but also because Lian'er will attack the noble in the future, and Cheng Qian will act as a guarantor on behalf of the Lin family. What does Baoyu have?"

"Don't we have a concubine? If the concubine gives birth to the prince, plus the old lady, wouldn't Baoyu be successful?"

Mrs. Wang didn't believe it, so she argued hard.

But Jia Zheng sneered.

"Let's not talk about when the mother will give birth to the dragon son, she will be able to give birth. Can the old lady wait? If you have time to think about Baoyu and dream, why don't you take advantage of the old lady's health and make a higher marriage for Tan Yatou."

In the final analysis, Jia's mansion is only supported by Jia's mother now.The eldest family relied on the title to survive, and barely became a powerful person in the capital. After a hundred years, the old lady lost the title of Duchess of the Chaopin Kingdom, and then the second room was separated.

Although Jia Zheng is mediocre, he can see it clearly, and he also misses his children in his heart.

"After the new year's visit to girl thirteen, I asked Brother Lin to select some young talents to look at. It doesn't matter whether they are born or not, as long as they are from farming and studying families, as long as they are talented. No matter how difficult it is for me to be promoted in this life, I have to take advantage of the old lady , to find a way out for the children.”

After all, he shook his hand and went out.

Mrs. Wang was not reconciled.If Yingchun marries Feng Ziying, she will be the second-rank governor's wife. Except for the old lady, wouldn't the entire yard bow to her?

Mother Li sneaked her head in.

"Madam calm down, don't get angry. The governor of Fujian said it sounds good, but in fact he was sent there, far away from the place where the birds don't shit, and has experienced wars. What good can there be?"

"Even if it's bad, it's still a second grade!"

In this life, she has been suppressed by others in terms of her status. Mrs. Wang was obsessed with it, so she reprimanded Mama Li and went out to send someone to investigate.

Wang Xifeng was in Rongqing Hall with the invitation card.

"This is an invitation from Sister Lin, saying that the sisters are invited to come over on their birthdays. I don't know if I can get them together when I get older."

Everyone knew that they were talking about welcoming the spring, so they looked at her narrowly.

Mother Jia took the invitation card with a smile and asked.

"But what else are you talking about? She will be fifteen this year, and it's also a big birthday. You can send me a present."

"Hey, old ancestor, you don't know. Uncle Lin said to give her a big deal, but she doesn't want it herself. It's boring to say, and people I don't know don't like to joke. It's not as lively as my sisters."

Wang Xifeng complained with her mouth half covered, and everyone laughed when she said it, but suddenly the topic changed.

"But there is something real. The brothers of the Cheng family have been transferred to the Ministry of Officials, and now they are also serious sixth-rank officials. They will treat guests in the front yard on their birthday. The second sister should dress up properly."

Cheng Qian treats guests, but why does he have to dress up for the Spring Festival?

Sanchun didn't react, and was in a daze.

Jia Mu is someone who came here, and she laughed so hard that she beat Wang Xifeng.

"You narrow-minded monkey, how can their sisters understand? Hurry up, these words cannot be heard."

After laughing enough, I explained to Sanchun.

"Although people say that men and women are very defensive, how can someone who really loves her daughter be willing to give it away casually? So before getting engaged, you must find an opportunity for the two to meet. Either across the crowd, or across the gate, far away It is better to leave a shadow on the ground than to be blind and deaf."

Michun came to a sudden, and Yingchun's face became even redder.

Wang Xifeng came over.

"Oh, my sister Lin and my ancestors have become good people, so I can only run errands back and forth. I can find out for you, the Feng family is not rich, there are only two younger sisters from concubines, you don't need to worry about getting married, happy Leisure."

She was half-talking, half-laughing, but Jia's mother remembered the old things.

"Feng Ziying's father, Feng Tang, is a poor man. His father and brother died early, and his wife also left after giving birth to Feng Ziying. When your grandfather was there, our two families were considered close, but we gradually lost contact with each other."

The atmosphere suddenly became depressed, and Jiamu regained her senses for a while, and hurriedly said.

"It's all old things. If you marry in the past, you must be filial to your father-in-law."

Welcome to the spring and listen to the training.

It's Lin Yun's birthday after all. When I got up in the morning to greet Lin Ruhai, I received two big boxes.

One is from Feiyun Villa, prepared by Cheng Xiangjin and Mrs. Cheng. It contains all kinds of objects, large and small, and it can be seen that the parents are worried.

The other was brought by Cheng Qian, under the pretense that colleagues knew about my sister's birthday and sent all kinds of gifts, but everyone knew who sent them.

Seeing the first box, Lin Ruhai felt a little sour, but didn't say anything.Seeing the second one, the eyeballs were about to pop out.

"Bastard!"

Even though there are all kinds of rare treasures inside, they can only get these two words of evaluation.

Lin Daiyu hid beside her and sniggered, even being stared at by Lin Yun.

Although he didn't want to make a fuss, it was the Jiji ceremony after all. Under Lin Ruhai's insistence, he spent nearly an hour going through the process of welcoming guests, taking their seats, first adding, and second adding, and even invited Princess Zhongshun as the official guest.

Lin Yun's face froze with a smile, and she spread out on the chair to send Princess Zhongshun away.

"Is my head still there?"

Lin Daiyu reached out to poke her cheek.

"It seems to be still there, but the corner of the mouth is frozen."

"Don't take pleasure in other people's misfortune, I'm simplifying it now, wait at least two hours for you to reach the ceremony."

The smiling face was stiff, Lin Yun's eyes were only rolling, and the sarcasm seemed weak, which made Lin Daiyu overjoyed.

Zi Ling came in from the outside.

"The three girls from the Jia family have arrived."

Lin Yun stretched out his hand.

"Help me up, and change this dress first."

In the outer courtyard, Cheng Qian's guests arrived one after another.

"Congratulations, Master Cheng, I will call you Master in the future."

Jia Lian and Feng Ziying came side by side, opening their mouths to tease.

Cheng Qian waved his hand.

"Could it be that you can't be called Lian's second brother when you're an adult? Speaking of which, we used to have similar identities, but now Ziying is the tallest. When will we invite you to drink?"

Among the five, six and seven ranks, there is a second rank, which is particularly conspicuous.Feng Ziying shook her head.

"No, my father said that I picked up this second grade, and I'm not allowed to show it off. If he finds out that he invites you to drink, he must be served by the family law, it must be done."

I don't know who interrupted suddenly.

"When you become a second-rank official, you have to obey the family law. It can be seen that even a son can't hide it. I can feel more comfortable when I am scolded in the future."

The crowd burst into laughter.

After drinking for three rounds, Jian'er came from behind and muttered beside Cheng Qian.

Then Cheng Qian stood up.

"Everyone, it's boring to eat and drink. I arranged a play in the backyard. Let's go and listen."

"it is good."

Feng Ziying was overjoyed, and followed the crowd to respond, got up and wanted to go inside.He was held back by Jia Lian.

"What's the rush, you stand next to me later, and I'll point it out to you."

After knowing that there was another important event today, Feng Ziying nodded with her neck stiff.

A group of people walked through the hall, from the corner door to the garden corridor, just arrived at the stone bridge at the end of the corridor, and heard a woman laughing in the distance.

Cheng Qian bowed his hand.

"Sister She is over there with her friends, let's go this way, don't be disturbed."

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Jia Lian teased Feng Ziying.

"You go to the bridge last, look at the one with the blue cloak."
