Since Lin Ruhai is going back to Beijing, the Lin Mansion in Beijing should be cleaned up. Jia Min thought of having someone clean it up quickly so that they can be reunited at the Lin family when Lin Ruhai returns to Beijing.

It’s not that she dislikes the Jia family, but she really can’t like her second sister-in-law.

When two people meet, either you say something to me or I say something to you back. It's really boring.

Jia Min didn't want to pay attention to her, but Mrs. Wang always talked about irrelevant things, which made people feel uncomfortable. When she couldn't bear it anymore, she would just retort a few words and make Mrs. Wang angry to death.

She had been in Yangzhou for many years. As the wife of the Imperial Censor of Salt and the mistress of the Lin family, she could not avoid dealing with the officials' wives.

After so many years on that battlefield full of swords and sabers, if Jia Min didn't have real ability, she would have been caught by someone long ago.

You know, there are countless people in Yangzhou who set traps for Lin Ruhai, openly or secretly, waiting for him to make a mistake so that they can take him down.

Just a lady named Mrs. Wang. If she wasn’t her second brother’s wife, Jia Min really wouldn’t want to bother with her.

It was this person who always said "A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent" who made Jia Min extremely annoyed.

Fortunately, it has calmed down a bit these days.

But there was one thing that really gave her a headache.

Although Jia Min grew up in Beijing, she went to Yangzhou after marrying Lin Ruhai. More than ten years were enough for her to become unfamiliar with the place where she grew up.

If he wanted to renovate the Lin Mansion, he would inevitably have to deal with merchants in Beijing.

This is what Jia Min is worried about. If she meets someone cunning, or someone who wants to blackmail her because she just returned to Beijing, that would be bad.

If it's just for money, it's a small matter. What I'm afraid of is those who want money but don't have the real ability.

After Wang Xifeng learned about this, she smiled happily, "How difficult is this? Aunt is not worth worrying about these trivial matters."

Jia Min looked at her, "What do you mean?"

Wang Xifeng was very confident and said, "If you trust me, Aunt, just be a hands-off manager and leave this matter to Lian Er, who will definitely handle it properly for you."

Jia Min felt a little embarrassed. This was originally the Lin family's business, and it would be inappropriate to hand it over to her nephew from her mother's family.

However, the Lin Mansion in Beijing only has an elderly manager and some young men who look after the house, none of them are suitable candidates.

Jia Min was tempted again and felt very embarrassed at the moment.

Wang Xifeng was very smart. Seeing this, she smiled and said, "Aunt, are you afraid that we won't be able to do a good job because we are young?"

Jia Min said, "I know you and Lian Er are very capable, but if you do this, won't it delay your work?"

"Oh!" Wang Xifeng came over and sat next to Jia Min affectionately, looking like a close aunt and niece. "We are all family. There is no need to see aunt in trouble. We are just being indifferent because we are filial to our uncle and aunt."

Wang Xifeng added, "If Aunt doesn't let us do it, it means she is unwilling to fulfill the filial piety of Lian Er and me."

After that, she pretended to wipe her non-existent tears with a handkerchief, which made Jia Min laugh. "You little girl, forget it, forget it. I'll leave this matter to you. When I'm free, I'll host a banquet to thank you."

Wang Xifeng was not hypocritical. She smiled and said to Jia's mother, "Old lady, you must have heard it. You must bear witness for me."

Jia Min pretended to be angry and raised her hand to touch her forehead, "What? Do you think I will blame you? You are just a kid, I think you are asking for a beating."

Wang Xifeng hid beside Lady Jia and said aggrievedly, "Grandma, please make the decision for me. If my aunt gets angry, she will beat me."

Grandmother Jia laughed, hugged her and said, "She dare not. You work hard for her. If she dares to hit you again, I will be the first one to not forgive her."

For a moment, everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Since the imperial edict was issued, Grandmother Jia has been very happy every day and can eat half a bowl more of rice.

Now that she is old, she just wants the younger generations to surround her and talk and laugh together, which is the most joyful thing.

In the past, everyone was there, except her most beloved youngest daughter who lived far away in Yangzhou, and the mother and daughter had not been able to see each other for many years.

It’s okay on weekdays, but during holidays, I miss you more.

This is great.

Jia Baoyu looked at Baochai and Daiyu who were laughing happily, and thought that if he could live like this for the rest of his life, talking and laughing together with his sisters, he would be willing to die immediately.

Lin Daiyu caught sight of him out of the corner of her eye and felt unhappy, but she didn't want to say anything to spoil everyone's fun, so she could only hold back on her message for the time being.

The nanny beside him moved forward imperceptibly to block the gaze.

The corners of Jia Baoyu's mouth drooped, but he was very afraid of these two vicious and strict old women. As soon as he saw them, he could remember their cold faces when they drove people away.

It's even scarier than Yaksha.

He sighed, and in the blink of an eye he accidentally met the sharp gaze of the nanny. He was so scared that he hiccuped and dared not look over there again.

While they were chatting and laughing, Grandmother Jia suddenly asked, "Chengyu has also been living in the palace for quite a while. When will she come back?"

Jia Min said, "He is now a wild horse that has broken free from its reins. I can't control him. Mother, just let him go. When his father arrives in the capital, he will be dealt with."

When Baochai heard Chengyu's name, her dignified and self-possessed expression moved slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes that no one noticed.

"I think Chengyu is a good child." Grandmother Jia patted Jia Min's hand. "It's a good thing for a child to be lively. Tell your son-in-law that if he scolds the child for this, I will be angry if I know about it."

Jia Min was helpless and said, "Mother, he is just like a devil. If you continue to spoil him like this, I think he will go crazy."

Grandmother Jia snorted, "Anyway, I don't allow you to scold the child."

Jia Min sighed: "I'll listen to you and not scold him."

"That's right." Grandmother Jia continued, "Look at Baoyu, it's because your second brother is too strict, beating and scolding him at every turn, and scaring the child like a mouse avoiding a cat."

Jia Min said: "Second brother loves me deeply and criticizes me harshly."

Grandmother Jia snorted coldly, "I think he is just showing off his power."

In a room full of young people, Jia Min didn't want to talk about her second brother anymore, so she changed the subject and talked about another thing, "It's Chengyu's birthday in a few days..."

"Hahahahaha..." Before Jia Min finished speaking, Grandmother Jia laughed. She looked at Jia Min, who looked confused, and pointed at Wang Xifeng, who was also laughing, and said, "I was telling Feng girl a few days ago that their birthdays happen to be on the same day."

Jia Min also laughed, "I don't know about that."

Grandmother Jia said, "I think I'll pay for it and host a party for them so that everyone can have a good day."

Jia Min said, "You don't have to pay, mother. I was wondering how to thank Feng girl. Isn't this like sending a pillow when I'm sleepy? Mother, please let me go this time."

Wang Xifeng also smiled and said, "I think this is good."
