Auntie Lin of the Red Chamber

Lin Ruhai really didn't know how to persuade Jia Zheng's foolish behavior of hiding his ears and stealing his own grave. If he talked too much, it seemed that he was supporting Jia Amnesty in seizing power.It's not a good thing to encourage other people's brothers to fight against each other. After pondering for a while, he decided to simply pretend that he didn't know, didn't know.Anyway, Jia Amnesty accepted it himself (didn't it make a fuss), and no matter how close the Yue family was, it was someone else's family, not his Lin family.Well, believe it, most other people in the capital think the same way...

The three of them sat opposite each other, they were not the same people at all, not to mention they also had their own concerns in their hearts, and they couldn't talk about going together. After the politeness was over, the scene was naturally a bit cold.Lin Ruhai simply got up and said that he was going to visit his mother-in-law, and Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng naturally agreed.Three adults, four children, and a entourage behind them, marched mightily towards Jia Mu Yuan.

When Lin Ruhai first started his official career, he was somewhat taken care of by the still-living Grand Duke Jia Daishan, so Lin Ruhai had a very good initial impression of the Jia family. , although Jia Amnesty is mediocre, he is not such a jerk. Jia Zheng is also in a state of eagerness to study.I just don't know why, after visiting the house after ten years, Lin Ruhai has this chaotic and decadent appearance. Lin Ruhai has a feeling of urgency to see Jia's mother immediately. He wants to know what's wrong with Jia's family...

There is a saying that when a mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, the more she looks at her, the more she likes her.Of course, this sentence basically refers to the initial stage of Weng and his son-in-law's acquaintance.However, although Lin Ruhai has been Jia's mother-in-law for more than ten years, Jia's mother still likes it more and more, especially at this time Lin Ruhai is younger than Lin Ruhai. She likes it even more.Jia's mother is actually a standard face control, she likes all boys and girls with good looks and good temperament, and if you add a sweet mouth and a pleasing personality, she likes it even more.

Lin Ruhai led the sons to visit their grandmother, but Jia's mother had already got the maids on both sides to help her up, hugged Lin Yan, and said: "Children, how can there be so much courtesy? Don’t be as old and pedantic as your father, come and show grandma a good look.” Rubbing Lin Yan’s face with his hands, he looked at the triplets and said, “They all look so beautiful, compared to your cousins. down."Then he pulled Jia Zhu to his side, and said to Lin Ruhai: "I'm used to seeing your own beautiful and beautiful child, but your nephew can still catch your eye."

Because Jia Zhu was still in her grandmother's arms, she had no choice but to bow to Uncle Lin and said, "Uncle is well."When he entered the door of Uncle Lin, he was taken aback. He had never seen such a gentle, elegant and profound person, and he only thought of one word, "Looking up at the mountain".I was also a little surprised that Uncle Lin looked not only handsome, but also so young.He had heard his father talk about it before, and he was only four years younger than his father, but his father called himself an "old man", and there was absolutely no sense of disobedience, but if this Uncle Lin called himself that, it would probably shock everyone the chin...

Lin Ruhai also took a very careful look at this leader who was said to be the third generation of the Jia family. He had delicate features, a face like a crown of jade, and was generous when looked at by the elders. He was indeed a fresh young man.It's just that my complexion is a little pale, but I think that when I was young, my body was not very healthy, isn't it also in good shape now?It's okay to think about it.I talked to him a few more times, and the reply was well-founded.Then I thought that the Jia family had many grandchildren, if there were two more, the Jia family would not be so hopeless.So he said to Jia's mother: "Mother-in-law is so lucky to have such a good grandson to accompany her."

When Jia's mother was overjoyed, Tan Hualang said yes, then it must be good. Zhu'er has a bright future. Then she thought of something, and turned to Jia Zheng and said, "You can hear that my son-in-law said that my Zhu'er is good." Well, you must not persecute him anymore." Then he turned to Lin Ruhai and explained: "Your second brother is usually strict, and Zhu'er is also an obedient child. From morning to night, I have pity on my Zhu'er who plays a little bit. There is no time, and the child is still young, so forcing him, the body will be broken."

Lin Ruhai heard Jia's mother say this, and looked at Jia Zhu in a blink of an eye. He felt the same about Jia Zhu's thin body.It's just that Jia Zheng, a father, disciplined his own children, and he, an outsider, couldn't say anything, so he nodded vaguely as a response to his mother-in-law.

When Jia Zheng was told by his wife in front of outsiders, he was a little bit embarrassed, but seeing Lin Ruhai's calm face, he felt that it was okay for his sister-in-law and his son-in-law to be relatives of the whole family.It's just that he was helpless and felt wronged.For the matter of reading, it can be said that he has a bit of inferiority in his heart.He is just a scholar, and many of his colleagues and subordinates are Jinshi, because he has been ridiculed many times for this matter, and he was excluded and isolated...

Sometimes Jia Zheng couldn't help but think that if his father was still alive, he wouldn't have to worry so much that he would be able to become an official and set up a family. He could continue to study in peace, and then take the provincial and even imperial examinations step by step. Perhaps now he is already a Jinshi, at least he must have a Jinshi background.If this is the case, coupled with the prestige of the Jia family, why is he still just a small worker from the Ministry of Industry, he can also do it as a minister of the Ministry of Industry...

The dream was so beautiful, so after waking up, he especially hated the cruelty of reality, which is why Jia Zheng placed all his eagerness on his eldest son.It just so happens that the eldest son still has the talent for reading, so Jia Zheng pushed his son with all his strength... Jia Zhu, a young seedling, has grown into what he is now after being whipped mercilessly for a long time under the mentality of his father. of frailty.

Jia Zhu is a good boy with a simple mind. Seeing his father being blamed by his grandmother, he was also worried that Uncle Lin would think badly of his father, so he quickly explained: "Old lady, although my father is strict, he is good for me. I also like reading books. not by the father's persecution."

Mother Jia was very pleased to see her grandson so filial, and she just put her arms around her grandson.Jia Zheng always loved his eldest son, and seeing Jia Zhu like this made him even more satisfied, and felt that his usual ardent teachings were not in vain.

Lin Ruhai also said jokingly at this time: "You brothers, you have seen it, and you have to learn from your cousin Zhu."

Mother Jia felt even happier, but she pretended to glare at her son-in-law, let go of Jia Zhu, pulled the triplets in front of her, and looked at them one by one.Lin Ruhai next to him introduced them one by one.

The three brothers Lin Lu, Lin Xun, and Lin Che had no choice but to obediently touch and watch. They regretted it very much in their hearts, and they should never be excited when they go out as guests in the future...

After careful examination, Mother Jia asked, "I've seen twins before, but I've never seen the triplets, and the twins look alike. They're not acquaintances, so I can't tell who is who. , but you three brothers look so coincidental, it's really strange that each of you looks the same."

This matter will involve a sensitive person, Wu Jin, the birth mother of the triplets, but it's hard to say at this time, Lin Ruhai has vaguely mentioned it, so he changed the subject and said: "I heard Min'er said that the second uncle's family has a new son, Born with jade, it is extraordinary."

As soon as Jia's mother heard about Baoyu, she stopped paying attention to the triplets, and hurriedly ordered someone to carry them out from the inside, and said happily, "This child is not bad. I will give him a nickname, Baoyu. That jade still has writing on it, my aunt also has a look", and he took the piece of jade off Baoyu's neck with his own hands, and showed it to Lin Ruhai with both hands.

Lin Ruhai saw that Jia's mother was so cautious, so he had no choice but to bend his knees and look at it. "It's as big as a bird's egg, as bright as a bright glow, as smooth as a crisp, and surrounded by five-color patterns." I have seen a lot of good jade, but I can't tell the truth about such a good jade, but it must have a profound meaning, but this one is extraordinary."

Jia's mother nodded beside her and said, "Young master said yes, and I also said that not only is this jade extraordinary in origin, but this child also looks the most like your old father-in-law. When he grows up, his future is not my old lady's boast, it is immeasurable. ah".

Lin Ruhai didn't know how to answer.When he saw Jia Daishan, Jia Daishan was already over 50 years old, not to mention wrinkled skin on his face, and he still had a beard. Lin Ruhai didn't even know the exact shape of Jia Daishan's face.But Baoyu's five-month-old baby now looks exquisite, but who knows if it looks like his grandfather... so he changed the subject again: "My brother's Lian'er is eight years old now. Let's go."

Jia Amnesty was already yawning several times in boredom, when he suddenly heard Lin Ruhai asking about his son, he immediately interjected and said, "It's eight years old, but it's just a coincidence that that brat kicked his son a few days ago. I took off the quilt and suffered some wind and cold, and now I am still nestling in my own room."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruhai hurriedly asked, "That's serious, I'll go and have a look."

Jia Amnesty quickly grabbed Lin Ruhai who had already got up, and said, "Ruhai, don't worry, that kid is fine, he is skinny, and the doctor said everything is fine, but I just want him to be raised again, so I don't let him go out."

Lin Ruhai was dragged by Jia She, so he couldn't do anything, but he felt that since he knew that his nephew was sick, it would be wrong not to visit him, so he had to express something.Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai finally remembered that he came to the door with a gift he had prepared. He had talked for a long time, but he hadn't brought it up yet. He was so shocked by Jia's opening that he forgot... ··

Lin Ruhai hurriedly remedied: "There is one more thing, I have forgotten, this is my wish with Min'er, mother-in-law and brother-in-law don't want to refuse." As he spoke, he called his followers to bring up two boxes.

Mother Jia was also delighted to see her son-in-law being so polite, and said, "Since it's your wish, I'll accept it, but it's better not to be so heretical next time."Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng also said at this time: "That's right, a family of relatives, this must not be the case."Lin Ruhai had no choice but to nod.

These two boxes of gifts were indeed prepared by Jia Min, because she also knew that the two elder brothers of her natal family were not very harmonious, so she thoughtfully distributed the gifts to each of them, and put them into boxes respectively, and put signs on the boxes up.Jia Min is sincere to her natal family.It's just that she didn't know that her thoughtfulness caused her a lot of complaints.First of all, Mrs. Wang, she found that her gift was one less than that of her poor sister-in-law.Mrs. Wang was furious: This is an insult, how dare Jia Min look down on her like this!Secondly, Mrs. Xing is not very satisfied: she is the elder sister-in-law, why does she only have one more thing than her siblings?The sister-in-law is too clueless...

In the past, the gifts that Jia Min sent were all distributed by Jia's mother. No matter how much or how little, they were all given by the old lady. She dared not complain, so she had to accept it.Of course, since Jia Zheng's family was favored by Jia's mother, most of them took advantage of it, so of course they were in favor of the result.Jia Amnesty's family was also accustomed to being neglected by Jia's mother, protests were ineffective, and they would be brutally suppressed, so they had to get used to being numb.

The author has something to say: I'm too busy at work today, I don't have enough time, I'm a little rushed, I'm really sorry...
