Looking back later, this year's Dragon Boat Festival was the last peaceful time for Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Ruhai had prepared the ceremony for the Dragon Boat Festival to go to Beijing early, and along with the ceremony came a letter from him to Lin Daiyu.Lin Daiyu read the letter sent by the old housekeeper in the capital. Lin Ruhai wrote in the letter that he had an engagement with a girl from the Zhen family and that he would get married soon. After marriage, he would send someone to pick her up. I wrote another letter to explain to the old man.

She was sad and happy at the same time, and the emotions in her heart were really complicated.

Mother Jia received the letter and called Lin Daiyu over. Lin Daiyu felt uneasy, but felt that the matter had to be explained clearly, and short-term pain was better than long-term pain.

Zijuan is also very preoccupied, Miss Lin has made up her mind to go back to Yangzhou, but she grew up in Jia's mansion, whether she will go with Miss Lin or stay, she has no idea for a moment.

Lin Daiyu didn't say much, just comforted her: "Sister Zijuan, whether you leave or stay, I will make arrangements for you before returning to Yangzhou. Think about it carefully during this period, anyway, we won't be able to leave for a while. .”

Zijuan rubbed her stiff cheeks and forced a smile: "I can save it, thank you girl for worrying about me."

"Why did my sister say such polite words? If you hadn't been by my side to take care of me these few years, I might not be able to survive the time when my father came to pick me up." Said, "Sister, you just treat it as me repaying your affection."

Zijuan nodded gratefully, and helped Lin Daiyu to see Mrs. Jia, and there will be a tough battle to fight later.

After entering the room, there was a scent of aloes. Mrs. Jia was sitting on the kang, reclining on the pillow of dark red flowers, the corners of her mouth were drooping, and her face was a little unsightly.When she saw Lin Daiyu come in, she raised her eyebrows and signaled Yuanyang to send all the idlers out.

"Sit down." Mrs. Jia said coldly to Lin Daiyu.

Zijuan glanced at Lin Daiyu quietly with worry in her eyes, helped her to sit down, and then exited the door respectfully with Yuanyang and others.The mandarin duck had apparently already received the order, and closed the door tightly, moved a small scorpion, and stood guard at the door with a solemn expression on his face.Zijuan sighed and hid in the corridor.

In the room, Lin Daiyu carefully sat down on a corner of the chair, and said in a low voice, "Yuer greets grandma."

Jia Mu didn't look at her, she lowered her eyelids, squinted her eyes half-closed, without a trace of a smile on her face, and said after a while, "It seems that you know everything in your heart," she laughed angrily, "Look at me She lost her eyes, and every day kept a white-eyed wolf by her side, and she teamed up with her father to deceive me, an old fellow."

"Grandmother, calm down." Lin Daiyu blushed and knelt down in front of Jiamu, begging for mercy.

"Do you still see my half-buried old woman?" Jia Mu was so angry that she threw a blue flower cup in her hand to the ground.

The mandarin ducks guarding outside the house could not help but tremble when they heard the movement in the house, their eyes flickered, Miss Lin kept the news secret, it really shouldn't be, it wasted the old lady's affection for her.She sighed slightly in her heart, and guarded the door, still not moving.

"All of you have lost sight of me, do you all expect me to die early?" Madam Jia's face was full of anger, her hands were shaking, she pointed at Lin Daiyu who was kneeling on the ground and cursed.

"Poor my Min'er who left early..." She said with tears in her eyes, full of sadness, "Poor my old lady should have gone with my Min'er, so as not to suffer from your idleness."

People live for a long time, and their eccentricities will increase. Some are like the old princess of the Beijing Palace, who thinks about it and throws everything away. She lives like an old child, happy herself, and so are the people around her.There are also people who can't think about it, just like the old lady of Jia's mansion, she can't wait for all the people in the whole house to circle around her, can't wait to hold everything firmly in her hands, but if someone goes against her wishes, it is a big disobedience up.

This dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, and now the Holy Majesty is often praised for his benevolence and filial piety, and he treats the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager very respectfully.Mrs. Jia even held this filial Shangfang sword. The more people in the house obeyed her, the more she was indulged, and the people in the house were oppressed until they couldn't breathe.She didn't feel it, she just felt that everything was according to her wishes, and she lived happily and recklessly until she closed her eyes, and as for the days after closing her eyes, she would follow her children and grandchildren.

She forced her eldest son, Jia She, who had inherited the title, to retreat from the side courtyard, and let her second son, Jia Zheng, live in the main house. Up and down Jia's house.Both Jia Lian and his wife stayed in the main room and took care of things, while Jia She, the father, lived in the side courtyard. Jia She's stepwife, Mrs. Xing, was beaten by Jia's mother from time to time. Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang had long been at odds No one knows no one knows.

In this family, the father is not the father, the son is not the son, the mother is not kind, the son is not filial, the husband and wife are strangers, but Jia's mother is very proud, thinking that she has put in a lot of effort to take care of the entire family. For appropriateness.

Lin Ruhai didn't give Jia Mu face so much, he made an appointment and notified her when they got married, and without a word, he wanted to take away the granddaughter she had raised carefully for several years, and this granddaughter was willing to go back with her father at a glance.Madam Jia was so angry that her heart ached.

Lin Daiyu, who was kneeling beside the footrest, couldn't stand Jiamu's harsh words, her eyes were full of tears, she couldn't speak from crying, her small face was as white as transparent rice paper.

Mrs. Jia wiped away her tears, stared at Lin Daiyu's face sullenly and asked, "You just tell me, would you like to go back to Yangzhou with your father?"

She slowed down and said: "He married a bride and gave birth to a child later. Do you think there will still be a place for you?"

Lin Daiyu felt uneasy when she heard this, with a look of hesitation on her face.

Mother Jia saw that there was something going on, and quickly said: "You didn't play with Brother Bao when you were young. Are you willing to leave him? Are you willing to leave your grandmother? My dear Yuer, stay with my grandmother. One day when my grandmother is there, I will take care of you for a day."

Lin Daiyu thought of her father's reluctance before leaving, and the feelings of missing her daughter that she often expressed in letters, and the balance in her heart suddenly tilted towards her father again. There was firmness in her eyes, and she whispered: "I beg grandma Forgive Yu'er, Yu'er can't be an unfilial person. Originally, I couldn't serve my father by my side. Although I live in a prosperous place, with rich clothes and fine food, and everywhere is inappropriate, but I feel restless every night, tossing and turning, unable to sleep peacefully. I lost my body," she knelt down and kowtowed, staring earnestly into Jiamu's eyes, "Grandmother, please take pity on Yu'er, and father's request will be granted."

"Okay, okay, very good, what a filial daughter who moves heaven and earth!" Jia Mu looked sullen, annoyed that Lin Daiyu would not eat soft and hard food, oil and salt, she stretched out her hand and dropped a glass placed on the small table screen.

This time the fall was a little closer to Lin Daiyu, and the shattered glass inevitably hit her hand. Lin Daiyu only frowned, and covered her injured finger with a handkerchief without saying a word.

There was a trace of disgust in Jia Mu's eyes, and she shouted out: "Yuanyang, come in."

She pointed to Lin Daiyu and said impatiently: "Yuanyang, you took her out, I am impatient to see her now."

Lin Daiyu heard the disgust in her tone, felt desolate in her heart, still kowtowed to her, wanted to get up, but her feet were weak and she couldn't stand up.Yuanyang quickly called Zijuan who was waiting at the door to come in, and helped Lin Daiyu go back.

Yuanyang asked the little maid to clean up the house, and then lightly beat Jia Mu's leg with her pink fist, and said in a low voice, "Why should the old lady be so angry because of her? You are so angry, but how can we people live?" .”

Mother Jia patted her head: "Good boy, you are the only ones in this house who think of me and really miss me. They all wish that I would die early."

The mandarin duck was startled, and hurriedly said: "Hey, old lady, what nonsense are you talking about, how can you talk about it." After finishing speaking, she put her hands together and worshiped the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, "Old lady said something wrong for a while, Don’t take the merciful gods of all walks of life seriously, this servant is willing to be punished instead of the old lady.”

Mother Jia's eyes flickered slightly, and a smile finally appeared on her face.Xin Dao, it's useless to stay with an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, if she wants to go, let her go, and when she suffers in the future, don't come to intercede again.

The person sent by Lin Ruhai to pick up Lin Daiyu arrived a few days late.Thinking about it, the person who came here traveled by water by boat, but the letter was delivered to the capital from the post station all the way by land. Naturally, the speed of water cannot be compared.

Because not many people know about this matter, now only Jia Mu and Lin Daiyu know that Zijuan and Yuanyang are tight-lipped people, so the people in the mansion did not notice the abnormality until the person who claimed to be the Zhen family handed him over. When I went to Rongguo Mansion with a name card, it was like a gust of wind, blowing away the gorgeous blanket that covered everything, revealing the real and ferocious face underneath.

The Zhen family in Jiangnan was implicated in the salt case and their property was confiscated. Zhen Yingjia, the father of Zhen Baoyu, was dismissed and exiled in Lingnan.At this time, as soon as Zhen Baoyu entered Beijing, he handed over a name card to the Rongguo Mansion. One was entrusted by Lin Ruhai to pick up Lin Daiyu back to Yangzhou, and the other was to return some furniture hidden in the Jia Mansion.

To what extent these two things can be done, to be honest, Zhen Baoyu doesn't have much in his mind, but his father was exiled. He is the only one who needs to be used in the next generation, the brothers are still young, and the sisters are all weak women who grew up in the inner house. If he doesn't go out to support one or two, the family will be defeated.

As soon as Zhen Baoyu's famous post was handed out, all the masters in Jia's house were stunned.People in the house who knew the inside story probably did not expect the Zhen family to recover so quickly.Wang Xifeng was so anxious that her throat was so angry that she ran to Mrs. Wang's yard to find a countermeasure.
