Practical Life in the Red Mansion

Lin Yang's daughter grew slowly after her three baptisms, and Yuxue became cuter every day. Jia Min loves it like something, and she has to send people to ask every day, but after eating and sleeping well, one day After crying several times, food and food were sent to Lin Yang's yard like running water. When Daiyu found out, she pretended to be jealous and said that she had fallen out of favor. Her mother only had her little niece in her heart. If Lin Yun was here, she could still be right. .

Speaking of Lin Yun, Daiyu was a little worried and said: "Brother Yun has only been away for a few days, and I am very worried. He has only one person to serve him, so I don't know if he can do those things." Lin Yun After the three rites, he formally became a teacher, and followed Xu Ming to Lize Academy. In the academy, he was only allowed to be served by a servant, and even the servant was not allowed to follow him after he was ten years old.

Jia Min was also very worried when she mentioned it. Lin Yun grew up under her nose when she was born. Since Lin Yun disappeared that time, she dared not let Lin Yun go casually. Even the family rarely let Lin Yun go out. After only a few days of separation, Jia Min felt as if he had been separated for several years. Whenever he thought of Lin Yun in his spare time, he wished to pick him up right away.

Jia Min counted the days and said, "Brother Yun will be back the day after tomorrow."

The mother and daughter were planning to clean up the house for Lin Yun, to prepare something for Lin Yun to eat, and to make a list of things for Lin Yun to take to the academy, when they suddenly heard a servant report that it was the mother-in-law of the Xue family Now, Jia Min wondered, their family had never had much contact with the Xue family, why did the Xue family send someone here for no reason.

Two women came to the Xue family, and the head of the house was tidy, with two silver hairpins inserted into the neatly combed bun, and said with a smile on his face: "My eldest daughter has the favor of the empress." Thanks to the favor of the empress, the empress pointed out to Prince Xun as a side concubine." After speaking, he respectfully handed over the post, which stated that Xue Baochai's good life will be half a month later, and Liuli only kept it. When hiring Tianzhuang, the Xue family invited the Lin family to visit on the day of Tianzhuang.

Jia Min smiled and said: "Congratulations to your girl for being such a good son-in-law, I will definitely congratulate your girl with a rich gift that day." Prince Xun is the emperor's tenth younger brother, a gentle and carefree king. He is like a transparent person, and the emperor is willing to give him grace. He has been promoted to a prince, and the backyard is also clean. There are only a few concubines besides a concubine. If she can gain a foothold in that mansion, her prosperity and wealth will be indispensable in that day.

As far as the Xue family is concerned, the girl from Dizhi is attached to the royal family, and the business of the rest of the Xue family is also easy to do. On the other hand, Prince Xun is not at a loss. To accept a side concubine is to accept a pocketbook. Marriage is really a win-win situation.

It's just a side concubine of the Xue family, Jia Min still doesn't like it, and prepared the ceremony according to the usual practice.In the evening, Jia Min casually told Lin Hai, but Lin Hai frowned and asked her to be more polite. Jia Min was a little puzzled, and Lin Hai explained: "Xue Yuan is going to Beijing, this is the grace given to him by the emperor."

However, Jia Min suddenly took Lin Hai's hand and said, "Master, Xue Yuan has been working on the Yanzheng government. Is there something wrong with the Yanzheng government when he suddenly goes to Beijing? Will it implicate the master?" Lin Hai held her hand instead and said. "It's okay, this time it's Xue Yuan who came forward. Besides, the things that the Zhen family did are certain, and they can be verified after one check." Jia Min worried: "The emperor and the concubine are still there." Lin Hai whispered : "The Supreme Emperor may not necessarily want to protect the Zhen family."

The next day, Lin Yun came back, and Jia Min and Daiyu got ready early, cleaned the yard, dried the bedding, drew up the menu, and surrounded him all the time, each holding one hand and looking up, unable to stop He said distressedly: "I lost weight." Afterwards, Lin Yun asked Lin Yun about his basic necessities of life, and Lin Yun said coquettishly, "Mother, I miss you and my sister."

Jia Min's nose was a little sour, but she suddenly heard Lin Yun say: "I still miss my sister's snacks." Suddenly it was funny and angry, Daiyu smiled and said: "I know you are thinking about it, I have prepared it for you a long time ago." Alright, go take a shower and change your clothes first." Lin Yun went happily.

Jia Min called the servant who followed Lin Yun again, asked Lin Yun about his basic necessities of life, and asked how the people in the academy treated Lin Yun and whether they would reject him. The servant bowed and answered Jia Min's question. Said: "The people in the academy are very kind, looking at Xu Shanchang's face, he takes good care of the second master." He also boasted: "The second master is very smart, and many people who are older than him are not as knowledgeable as him."

Lize Academy is divided into four classes A, B, C, and D according to age. Lin Yun should have gone to Class D, but Lin Yun's level is far superior to Class D. Xu Ming didn't want him to waste time, so he directly sent him to Class C.

Lin Yun stayed at home for a day, but he felt what it was like for the whole family to surround him. No matter what request he made, the family would satisfy him. He decided not to cry at night because of homesickness after returning home. .On the second day, Lin Yun was about to return to the academy to continue being a boarding student. Jia Min and the others were reluctant to part with each other, but no matter how reluctant they were, they couldn't delay Lin Yun, so they could only watch Lin Yun leave cruelly.

According to the date, Lin Yun could come back on the full moon day, but Lin Hai didn't want him to come back. Jia Min was a little puzzled, and Lin Hai explained: "When you come back that day, the house is in a mess. Why don't you take Yu'er there after the full moon?" Stay at the nearby hot spring village for a few days, and take him there by the way." After the full moon, according to the rules, Gu Jing will take her daughter back to her mother's house for a few days, called "out of the nest", and it is cheaper for Jia Min and Daiyu to go to the village. .

But Jia Min remembered the matter of Yanzheng, and asked Lin Hai, Lin Hai said helplessly: "On those few days, Xue Yuan planned to impeach the Zhen family. I was afraid that someone would disturb your peace, so I could avoid it." Jia Min also He didn't want to break up with those people, and he was still able to see his son, so Lin Yun could relax in Zhuangzi for two days, so he readily agreed.

On the day of Zhangzhu's full moon, Jia Mu also led people to come. Jia Min personally entertained Jia Mu and the others. Jia Mu just stayed in Gu Jing's yard for a while, glanced at Zhang Zhu, and gave her a golden lock. .Jia Min was a little unhappy. Mother Jia clearly didn't like her granddaughter, and the golden lock looked ordinary at first glance, not even a gemstone inlaid on it.

Therefore, when Jia's mother told her about Baoyu's marriage, Jia Min couldn't get excited. What Jia's mother meant was that she fell in love with Zhen Yingjia's youngest daughter. The Jia family was involved in a relationship, but who knew that the Jia family would rush to make a relationship.

But Jia Min saw that Mother Jia had made up her mind, and she couldn't find anything wrong with Miss Zhen's family, so she didn't want to get into trouble. Anyway, after a few days, Mother Jia would take the initiative to get rid of this idea, so she laughed. Yan: "Mother's vision is better, isn't it a marriage with all corners?"

Mother Jia felt very relieved when she heard this, and took Jia Min's hand to tell Jia Min about the big and small things in the family, and couldn't help complaining that since Wang Xifeng left, Mrs. Wang was the housekeeper, and she was getting old and lacking in energy. I often lose everything and make a mess at home.Jia Min said: "Isn't there still Zhu'er's wife? Yingchun and Tanchun are getting older here, and it's time to see each other. They can help and learn how to be a housekeeper." Mother Jia said with emotion: "You are still caring. Another idea.

After hearing this, Jia Min saw that Jia Mu was full of white hair and worried about her grandchildren. Her heart softened, and her previous dissatisfaction disappeared. Jia Mu called Daiyu again, "Daiyu's dowry But get ready, this dowry is related to a woman's whole life, so don't be careless." Then she babbled about the jewelry shop in Beijing and the embroidery work in that embroidery village.

With mixed feelings in Jia Min's mind, she sent Jia Mu and the others away, and went to Gu Jing's yard, where Gu Jing was asking someone to pack up her family's things.Jia Min hugged Zhang Zhu with a smile, and while teasing Zhang Zhu, said to Gu Jing: "You need to tidy up well, don't leave anything behind, it will be inconvenient then."

Gu Jing was a little uneasy at first, she originally planned to stay for two or three days, but Jia Min wanted her to stay longer, so Daiyu comforted her with a smile and said: "Sister-in-law just stay here, as soon as mother comes I want my sister-in-law to get off quickly, and secondly..." Daiyu's eyes showed slyness: "Mother serves father every day in the morning court, and in addition to being busy with palming beads these days, she is also tired, thinking about it. Go out and relax."

Gu Jing felt grateful for the caring of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and hurriedly said: "Then I should take care of you." Daiyu shook her head and joked: "That's not possible, mother still wants to sleep late, if you go Now, if mother can't get up in the morning, how can she show her mother-in-law prestige in front of you in the future?" After she finished speaking, Daiyu pretended to be a slip of the tongue again, leaned over to Gu Jing and smiled, "Good sister-in-law, don't tell mother, she knows You’re going to tell me again.”

Gu Jing patted Zhang Zhu in her bosom with a smile and said with a smile: "Today, I will let you, an aunt, make a bellyband for Zhang Zhu, and I will forgive you." The sister-in-law laughed again .

Therefore, seeing Jia Min came over in person, Gu Jing gently told Jia Min about the things she brought, and Jia Min said with a smile: "It's very appropriate, you can stay at your mother's house for a while, Let our Zhangzhu meet the people from the grandfather's family, and then I will ask Ah Yang to pick up your mother and daughter." Gu Jing agreed with a smile.

Early the next morning, after Gu Jing led Zhang Zhu to her natal home, Jia Min took Dai Yu to the hot spring village.The Zhuangzi has just been repaired. It is built on the hillside, occupying a few acres of land. It is built in imitation of the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. As soon as you enter the door, you will see a rockery. When you go around, you will find a small lotus pond. Room.

Jia Min and Daiyu were in a good mood and walked around. There are green trees and gurgling water everywhere.Daiyu immediately fell in love with a small pavilion located in the middle of Xiangfei bamboo surrounded by emerald green, but Jia Min disagreed with where she lived, saying that the small pavilion was too shady, and Yu Daiyu was physically handicapped, so she chose a place. Daiyu lived in a spacious and bright place.

The mother and daughter rested after being tired from shopping and took a dip in the hot springs. At this time, the capital was already in a state of chaos.
