In the evening, Jia Zhen received Wang Ziteng who was visiting in the study. Naturally, Youshi came forward to receive Wang Ziteng's wife.
Although the two families are good friends, Wang Ziteng has never had any contact with Dongfu here, and his understanding of Jia Zhen is just rumors.
Now, looking at the calm Jia Zhen, Wang Ziteng sighed in his heart, this rumor is really killing people?Or is it that the patriarch of the Jia family has been hiding his clumsiness?
Thinking of the last possibility, Wang Ziteng narrowed his eyes deeply, and looked at Jia Zhen inquisitively.
Although Jia Zhen felt that this gaze was very uncomfortable, but the visitor was a guest, so he could only pretend that he didn't see it.
The two began to exchange pleasantries, starting from gossip about children, and talking about the big and small affairs of the court.We had a great time chatting.
This time, Wang Ziteng finally confirmed one thing. The patriarch of the Jia family has been hiding his clumsiness. As for why he acted like this, I'm afraid there are other secrets behind him.
Wang Ziteng sighed, feeling a little regretful.The two of them were almost fighting haha, and then they started talking about business.
Wang Ziteng, who had a cold face in front of thousands of troops and horses, had a bit of embarrassment, which really made Jia Zhen praise these people's face-changing skills very much.
"General Jia, look, you also know about these matters in the West Mansion. I have a daughter who is discussing marriage now. What if there are some gossips?"
What Wang Ziteng said was very sincere, and Jia Zhen didn't mean to play tricks with him.
"Lord Wang, it's really not that I want to persecute the second aunt of the West Mansion, it's that I've gone too far. Just look at these and you'll know,"
While talking, Jia Zhen handed the things she had prepared to Wang Ziteng.Wang Ziteng also wanted to know why the Jia clan was so aggressive.
After opening the box, it really made him tremble with anger.These two women are really daring!
Here are all the letters between Wang and Wang Xifeng who lent money and took Jia Amnesty's post to take the life lawsuit.
There are two reasons why Wang Ziteng was furious. One is that these two people are too bold, and the other is that these two people are too stupid. Such important evidence can be easily held in the palm of one's hand.
Wang Ziteng's complexion was very ugly, but Jia Zhen still looked like she hadn't seen anything, holding a teacup, sipping tea carefully, very relaxed.
After Wang Ziteng came back to his senses, he became even more wary of this Jia Zhen, she is really a person that cannot be underestimated.
"Master Jia, what do you want?"
"Master Wang, you are also a happy person, so I won't play around with you anymore. I want the Xifu to be born safely and get back on track."
Jia Zhen's request was not too much. For Wang Ziteng, if he hadn't worried about the reputation of the female family members of the Wang family, he really wanted to let go of the water splashed by his married daughter.This girl and niece are really too stupid, Wang Ziteng didn't bother to pay attention to it.
"Okay, I won't get involved in the Jia family's business. What about my sister and niece?"
"Second aunt and eldest sister can no longer get involved in the inner house."
Jia Zhen's requirements are also very low, but her own requirements are low. After Wang Ziteng is satisfied here, he lets go of Jia She's words.
He believed that the life of Wang Shi and Wang Xifeng would be wonderful.Although he will not give up, such a day will be even more sad.
Thinking of this, Jia Zhen's mood improved a lot.
"Okay. I promise, no one in our house will ask about this matter."
Hearing that his sister and niece were not in danger of their lives and would not be sent back to the Wang family, Wang Ziteng was relieved and agreed wholeheartedly.
After the two reached an agreement, Wang Ziteng left happily.Jia Zhen also sent him to the gate of the mansion with a smile.
Youshi's life is actually better now than before, although the master still treats her honestly and never enters her yard.
But Youshi was very satisfied, at least the master didn't mess around like before.Moreover, Jia Zhen handed over the affairs of the inner house to Youshi after setting the rules.
Youshi handled it with great care. In this case, Jia Zhen didn't need to embarrass Youshi.
After sending off Wang Ziteng and his wife, You Shi said to Jia Zhen in a flattering tone,
"Master, the yard you ordered a few days ago has been tidied up, what can you do?"
"Of course I want to welcome the eldest sister back. Is it possible to put it in the mansion over there so that people will be neglected?" Jia Zhen didn't change her attitude because of Youshi's dedication. It's because Youshi is so depressing .
"Uh, okay, then I'll go to Xifu to pick up my sister tomorrow."
Youshi continued to speak flatteringly.
"You don't have to worry about it, I will make arrangements for you. Have you found the maids you asked to find?"
"Of course I've found it. Master, do you want to have a look?"
She thought that Jia Zhen wanted to find the people in the room again, so what she found was all messy, but now it seems that there are some discrepancies.
"No need, prepare a few more, wait for my sister to come back, and let her choose by herself. Four big maids, eight little maids, and four nuns, they must all be ready!"
Jia Zhen said casually.Seeing Youshi's complexion changed, Jia Zhen had to emphasize again,
"After my sister comes back, if anyone dares to neglect, no matter who it is, they will all be sold out."
"Master, I made a note."
Although he didn't know what this madman was, You Shi firmly remembered that he had to try his best to please this girl, so that the master would be picky again.
After Jia Zhen ordered, she went back to the study under Youshi's somewhat regretful eyes.
The next day, the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day, and finally on the fifth day, Jia Mu sent someone to invite Jia Zhen to come.
This time, Jia Zhen went to the West Mansion alone, without bringing so many elders with her.
Jia Zhen's arrival was really welcomed by many people, not only Jia She and his son, but also Jia Zheng, the second wife, wanted to personally preside over the overall situation.
You know, in the past few days, the eldest brother is about to toss and disperse the house.Even if Erfang has Yuan Chun as a new force, facing Jia She, who doesn't play cards according to common sense, there is still not much chance to win.
"Brother Zhen, you are here. You are the patriarch, so let's preside over the separation of the two families fairly."
Mother Jia said to Jia Zhen with a bit of exhaustion and hope, especially the word "fairness".
"Don't worry old lady, I will."
Jia Zhen nodded, reassuring Mother Jia.She doesn't ask for anything else now, she just wants to separate the family as soon as possible, and live with the second room by herself, so don't let the boss make any trouble.
"It's okay to separate the family, but before that, Mrs. Wang has to retire first. I can't afford such a daughter-in-law."
Jia Amnesty has fully demonstrated what it means to "don't forgive others when you are justified", and has no intention of letting Wang Xifeng go, pressing on every step of the way.
"Father, just look at the eldest sister."
Jia Lian was smart, so he didn't mention anything else, just hugged his daughter and said.
"Hmph, with such a vicious mother, what kind of daughter can she raise?"
The Xing family has long been displeased with Wang Xifeng who only hangs around the second daughter-in-law all day long, and the benefactor who is in a different place does not pay attention to herself as a mother-in-law. Seeing that the master seems to be a little shaken, she hastily said.
Sure enough, when Jia She heard the words, his expression regained a bit of determination,
"No, Mrs. Wang can't stay."
"Brother Zhen, please speak up, my eldest sister can't live without a mother."
Jia Lian had no choice but to turn around and bow to Jia Zhen.
"Well, if you can be stronger, you won't make trouble like this." Jia Zhen shook her head with an attitude of "I can't help".
But for Wang Xifeng, I have a deeper understanding. After making such a big mistake, it is really not easy for Jia Lian to come forward to protect her.
"Big brother, she also knows she's wrong. Besides, I'm her husband, how can I ignore it? I really can't let the big sister lose her mother."
Hearing what he said was sincere, Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Zhen, wanting to know his opinion.
"Since that's the case, let's keep the eldest sister. In short, I have to give the Wang family a face."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.Wang Ziteng is now Jane's figure in the emperor's heart.
"Okay, let her go this time, but Lian'er, you have to teach her well in the future, and don't let her commit crimes again!"
"Master, I understand, thank you for your mercy."
Jia Lian thanked him again and again.Jia Amnesty really didn't like his son's "strict wife" appearance, so he snorted coldly and remained silent.
As for the Dawang family, they were naturally sent to the ancestral hall by the knowledgeable mother Jia, and they can only spend their days in the ancestral hall in the future.
The affairs of the second room naturally fell into Yuan Chun's hands, and with Yuan Chun in charge, Wang and Baoyu would not be wronged.
After Jiamu's goal was achieved, she stopped paying attention.
"Do you have a charter for the separation?"
After Wang Xifeng's matter was settled, Jia Zhen asked.
"This is the charter."
Jia Lian handed the eldest sister to the nurse beside her, and then handed the stack of papers on the table to Jia Zhen.
Jia Zhen almost burst out laughing after reading the beginning.Jia She and his son are really dead, no wonder the old lady is eager to let herself preside over the division of the family fairly.
"Here, is there such a little money in this gentleman?"
Seeing that it was still 2000 taels on the account, Jia Zhen held back a smile and asked a question.
"That's right, brother Zhen, tell me, Mrs. Wang has been in charge of the inner house for more than ten years, and I don't know how to manage it. This mansion has become a hollow shelf."
"What about other industries?"
Jia Zhen didn't bother to pay attention to the smug look in Jia She's eyes, and continued to ask.
"Of course I am seven, and the second room is three."
This is also a common practice, but Jia She made it clear that he was bullying others. The property that the second room was allocated was either in Jinling, or it was a shop that was not doing well.
As for the farms and so on, they are all hills and the like, and the good farms are not allocated to the second house at all.
After reading it, Jia Zhen was a bit puzzled and asked,
"I see that the division of property above is fairly fair. Does the old lady have a different opinion?"
It is understandable that Jia Zhen doesn't know the property status of the mansion.But for some reason, Mother Jia always felt that Jia Zhen's questioning was intentional.
"Oh, brother Zhen, you also know that there are many people in the second room, so there is naturally a lot of throwing money. From Yuanchun to Huan'er, the money for the wedding is a lot of money. There is no money in the public, and there is no money in this shop or farm. With so much promise, how can they live?"
Jia Amnesty was very tired of Jia's mother crying for poverty.
"Mother, we also have the second girl, brother Cong, and eldest sister in our eldest house. In the future, Lian'er will have another son. This is a huge expense."
Jia Amnesty's crying for poverty did not arouse Jia Mu's sympathy at all, but it made her disgusted even more.
"I'll live with your brother, okay?"
"Okay, since my mother doesn't want to be angry at the eldest room, then let's move out with my younger brother. I will give 5000 taels of silver to the second room every year in the future, which can be regarded as an expense for my mother."
Jia Amnesty seemed to be thinking clearly, and he agreed wholeheartedly.
"Brother, even if I don't have your money, I will still be filial to my mother."
Jia Zheng remained silent all this time, as if he hadn't reacted yet, but after hearing Jia's mother's words, he hurriedly expressed his opinion.
When Jia's mother heard this, she was very pleased. Isn't her second son a pure and filial person?I followed him because I meant to take care of the second room, and more for my own comfort.
"Since this is the case, then I'm the master. I'll add another thousand to the annual filial piety, okay?"
Jia Zhen interjected.
"Why?"
"I think this plan of dividing up the family is very good. Let's just stick to this division. In the future, Uncle Xi will take Lian'er and eldest sister to pay respects to the old lady, and often bring the old lady to live in the house. The last few days were also loose days."
Now that Jia Zhen had spoken, Jia Amnesty was naturally more proud and nodded repeatedly.Although Jia Zheng had objections, he looked at the stern-faced Jia Mu and kept silent.
After three to five days, the division of the West Mansion came to an end.But it will take a while before the second room moves out.
Gein's other things are easy to handle, but the house is hard to find. You know, Jia Zheng wants to take his mother out with him, so naturally he can't show his timidity, and he can't wrong Jia's mother.
According to the specifications of Rongguo Mansion, if you want to find a five-entry mansion in the inner city, not only the price is not cheap, but the place is really hard to find.
Jia Zheng is also a person who doesn't care about production, so he entrusted the full power to the servants. Unfortunately, good houses can't be found for a while.
No, this matter is left like this.
Although they live in the same mansion, they have been separated.Jia Mu also set up a small kitchen in her yard.Daiyu is the only one who is in trouble, and it will be fine with Jia Mu.
Xichun was already very bored because of these tossings in the West Mansion. As soon as her elder brother said that she would take her back to the mansion, Xichun nodded in agreement.
After returning to the West Mansion, Xichun's life has undergone earth-shaking changes, but she didn't mean to be very happy. Jia Zhen felt strange. After observing for a few days, she couldn't figure out the reason, so she asked directly.
"Sister, why are you unhappy?"
"I'm a little worried about Sister Lin."
Facing her elder brother, Xichun now has some good feelings for her, and she didn't want to be as indifferent as before, so she said it directly.
"Don't worry, your sister Lin's father has already made arrangements, and he will find out in a few days."
Seeing the little girl frowning, Jia Zhen felt that she was very cute, so she couldn't help stretching out her paw to touch her furry head, and said with a smile.
"Oh, that's all right."
It seemed that he could see that his elder brother was laughing at him, and Xichun felt that he was touching his head, which was very strange and strange.
But soon, the little girl looked at his expression, with a look of malicious intent, snorted coldly, turned and went back to the house.
Jia Zhen made a fuss by herself, touched her nose secretly, and went back to the study with her hands behind her back.
These are just gossip.
Lin Ruhai is already terribly ill now, and there is only such a girl left, who knows that not only the clan is unreliable, but even the Yue family is also unreliable?
No matter how many schemings Jia Zhen had, he still remembered the kindness towards his daughter.Otherwise, they would not have cooperated with Jia Zhen so happily.
However, Lin Ruhai is not a Buddha if he can become a third-rank official. He was not prepared for Jia's family before, but now he has calculations in his heart, so it will not make them feel better.
Yuan Chun could come out of the palace so quickly, although Jia Jing had the means, but if Lin Ruhai didn't intervene in it, no one would really believe it.
Lin Ruhai is the emperor's most valued courtier, and he is also in charge of the Jiangnan salt tax. This income is half of the treasury's income, so it is naturally a place for all parties to compete.
Not only to win over, but also various other means, of course I tried them one by one.Lin Ruhai's body is dilapidated, so it's hard to guarantee that there is no reason for these messes.
Now, Lin Ruhai is at the end of his strength, but at this moment, he has more mental strength, he has to settle his daughter well before he can close his eyes, doesn't he?
Lin Ruhai made a move, the speed and efficiency were naturally very fast, and Lin Ruhai's notes quickly reached the emperor.
Regardless of Lin Ruhai's surrender, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, the emperor was very satisfied. If Lin Ruhai continued to be stubborn, he might have to die in office.
Lin Ruhai is not his own, so the emperor will naturally not feel sorry for him, even if he is very capable, so what?
What the emperor needs is never a smart courtier, a dull courtier is always more sacred than a smart one.
But Lin Ruhai's excerpts were pitiful, and the emperor also had a heart of compassion.Soon, Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing to recuperate under the protection of the imperial doctor.
The Yanzheng in the south of the Yangtze River will naturally be taken over by the emperor's cronies. Although the emperor is angry, Lin Ruhai's health is really failing. Apart from his own anger, he has no choice but to praise Lin Ruhai well.
However, Lin Ruhai only has one daughter, and it seems that there is no way to add kindness to offspring.But someone had an idea for the emperor.
When the emperor heard the words, it was indeed very good, and he quickly nodded in agreement.The news of Lin Ruhai's arrival in Beijing was extremely secret, let alone the Jia family, even in the court, few people knew about it.
But Jia Zhen knew that the old house in the Lin Mansion was still repaired by Jia Zhen.The decline of the Lin family was just around the corner, and Jia Zhen had no other thoughts, so she sent someone to repair the old house to make it comfortable for Lin Ruhai to live in.
There are no fancy things, but it just makes Lin Ruhai feel really good.
The emperor sent the imperial doctor to be by Lin Ruhai's side, because he knew that his body would not be able to withstand the toss, and let Lin Ruhai rest at home well, and he was not in a hurry to see him.
After hearing this, Lin Ruhai was naturally very grateful. With the support of his family, he kowtowed in the direction of the palace to thank him.
After this movement, he was covered in cold sweat again, and became even weaker.
"Master, hurry back to the house and rest."
Everyone was very sad, even the imperial doctor who came to see the doctor couldn't see it, and turned his back.
Lin Ruhai naturally had no objection, and with the support of the servant, went into the house to rest.Even though he was lying on the bed, he still couldn't fall asleep, his heart was scratching in his chest, he just wanted to see his daughter.
"Master, it's better to rest as soon as possible. Master Jia will bring the girl back tomorrow. If the master's spirit is not good, I don't know how the girl will be sad."
It was the butler who knew about his master's heart disease, so he tried to persuade him, and sure enough, Lin Ruhai immediately recovered and lay down after hearing the words.
He was originally sick, so his spirit was naturally weak, and soon Lin Ruhai fell asleep.
The next day, early in the morning, Jia Zhen sent Xichun to the west mansion, asking her to find a way to bring Daiyu to this mansion.
He promised Xichun to take her to the street before, but he will fulfill it today.Although Xichun knew that he had other schemes, but for the sake of being able to go out, she agreed immediately.
But Jia Zhen didn't go there just to please her, she was ridiculed by her own sister before it was over.
Jia Zhen was happy to have such a transparent girl, but also very speechless. The girl was too smart, it was really a worrying thing, she could really bring out her own incompetence.
Touching her nose, Jia Zhen immediately lost the dog-leggedness she had just had in front of Xichun, and glared fiercely at Chang Sheng who saw her joke,
"You will be fined for two months, and you will have a long memory."
Changsheng naturally knew that his master couldn't save face, so he made amends on himself.But he really couldn't do anything, so he could only cry and thank his master for his kindness.
Seeing others unhappy, Jia Zhen felt much better.But if it can make the master happy, Changsheng himself will be happy too.He didn't expect that kind of monthly money to live on. On weekdays, what the master rewarded him was enough for his family to eat.
This statement made by the child is just to make the master happy.Although Xichun's face is cold, she also knows in her heart that her brother is very different from before. Looking at the things he bought for her before, she knows that they are good things.There are also various painting tools, neat paints, and high-quality rice paper of various colors. In the past, even Bao Ergege didn't have such good things to waste, let alone a fluffy girl.
I am grateful in my heart, and the people around are also persuading, but Xichun is used to being awkward, and has no intention of bowing her head at all. She always feels that if she bows her head first, she will be shorter, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Naturally, Jia Zhen noticed the little girl's awkwardness, but she didn't know the reason, and only those around Xichun knew the reason, because the girl's order was not easy to explain to the master, so she had to continue like this.
Now that brother has agreed, then naturally he has to take care of this matter.After Xichun asked someone to change into her out-of-door clothes, she got into a sedan chair and went to the West Mansion.
Now the West Mansion is not what it used to be, looking at the somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar scenery in the mansion, and listening to the gossip from Ruhua, Xichun is very emotional.
After entering Jia Mu's yard, I immediately noticed the difference.The atmosphere of the past is gone, but Xichun can't explain what exactly it is. This courtyard has an indistinct sense of desolation and dilapidation.
The young Xichun couldn't figure out what was going on, but she just didn't like this kind of atmosphere very much.
I don't know how the people in the mansion take care of them. Even if they have opinions on this old lady, she still has a real kindness in nurturing herself.
Thinking in this way, Xichun thought that after returning home, he would talk to his brother in a good manner and ask him to talk to Uncle Xi, so it would be better not to neglect the old lady too much.
Hearing that Xichun was coming, Mother Jia was also very happy. These days, her yard became more and more deserted. Although the long room did not intend to neglect the old lady, except for the daily greetings, no one was there. here.
Now Wang Xifeng is punished by Jia Amnesty to read, practice calligraphy, and copy the law. She is busy every day without touching the ground. Not to mention being a housekeeper, even her own yard is not under her control.
However, the current Wang Xifeng did not have the strong look she had before, her forehead was wrapped around her head, and she looked sick and crooked, which was really pitiful.
It's a pity that although Jia Lian pleaded to keep his wife, his relationship was not as good as before, and he was not as loving as before. To Wang Xifeng, his face was not his face, and his nose was not his nose.
As long as she thought about this, endless bitterness filled her mouth, her eyes were a little straight, and she didn't know whether it was regret or hatred in her heart.
But soon, Wang Xifeng cheered up. At least the second master saved herself. Whether it was because of the elder sister or the relationship between the husband and wife in the past, she had to work hard, not for anything else, but for the sake of her husband and elder sister. In terms of face, I have to cheer myself up.
The relationship between husband and wife will always be redeemed. Thinking of this, she continued to copy the law.
When she heard that Xichun was visiting, Mother Jia was very happy. The fourth girl looked indifferent in the past, but she was more affectionate than the third and second girls.
Since the separation of the two prefectures, no matter whether it is Yingchun or Tanchun, they have never been close to this old lady.
Although Jia's mother knew that they were incapable of making decisions, she still couldn't help complaining.
After Xichun paid her respects, and chatted with the old lady for a while, she said bluntly that she wanted to take Sister Lin out for a walk.
Looking at Lin Daiyu who was a little moved beside her, Mother Jia touched her pitifully, then nodded in agreement.
Daiyu was really happy, these days she has been a little restless, she just thought that these things in the house were causing trouble, but Daiyu always felt that something was wrong, now that she has the opportunity to go out and relax, it would be nice.
The two sisters got up and left, and went to the Bisha closet behind.Now only Daiyu lives here, and Baoyu has moved out long ago.
In any case, it is true that the place is much more spacious.Hearing that the girl was going to go out with the fourth girl, Zijuan was very worried. After tidying up for Daiyu, she was a little worried and watched Daiyu go out with the snow geese.
After arriving in the East Mansion, Jia Zhen and Youshi received them attentively, especially Youshi, who was so flattering that Xichun frowned.
This sister-in-law is really getting worse and worse. It seems that she will have a good time talking to her brother in a few days.
Xichun was thinking about it, but she was also thinking about going out, so she kept looking towards Jia Zhen.
Jia Zhen nodded, and everyone stood up.Jia Zhen rode the horse, Daiyu Xichun and the two sisters rode in the car, and soon they left Ningrong Street.
However, the more they walked, the quieter it became, and there was no lively market in the rumors. Daiyu and Xichun were a little surprised, but they didn't ask any questions. Looking at each other, they both saw the uneasiness in each other's eyes.
I was about to ask if I should ask, but who knows, the car stopped.
"But the girl is here?"
asked a trembling voice from outside.Daiyu thought this voice was very familiar, but she really couldn't remember where she heard it before, but her body became more stiff.
Xichun naturally noticed Daiyu's strangeness, and she didn't see her for a long time, so she opened her mouth and said,
"Who are you?"
The person outside was also startled, it wasn't the voice of his own girl, just about to explain, Jia Zhen had already walked over.To Daiyu and Xichun said,
"Miss Lin, sister, get out of the car, we are here."
The two sisters were a little confused, but according to the words, they got out of the car under the service of the maid.
The former mother-in-law looked at Daiyu's thin body, her face was full of excitement,
"Slave servant Lin Fu's family asks the girl to rest in peace."
"Mother Lin, why is it you?"
Daiyu hadn't made a sound yet, but Xueyan asked in astonishment.Daiyu just felt that her whole body seemed to be frozen, and she wanted to open her mouth to ask something, but she couldn't make a sound.
"Miss Lin, sister, this is not a place to talk, let's go in quickly."
Looking at the peeping people around, Jia Zhen felt a little annoyed, it was really inconvenient to have female relatives outside.
Daiyu and Xichun were holding hands, as if they wanted to gain strength and courage from Xichun, Daiyu's hand was tightly held.
Even though her hands hurt a little, Xichun still didn't intend to let go.Even though she was ignorant, she still knew the "Lin Fu" on the plaque.
Could this be Sister Lin's home?Guessing like this, but everyone's footsteps did not slow down.
After entering the gate of the mansion, a housekeeper came over to greet Daiyu. During this period of time, Daiyu has recovered a lot, so she calmly avoided everyone's greetings.
However, the tension on his face remained the same, and the housekeeper was still there thanking Jia Zhen for bringing her daughter back.
Originally, the Lin family was supposed to send someone to Jia's mansion to bring the girl back, but for some unknown reason, the master wanted to use this method, and everyone couldn't figure out the reason, so that was the only way to go.
The more Daiyu walked, the more her heart trembled.
"Master, Uncle Zhen has arrived with Miss Jia and Miss Jia."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruhai in the inner room hurriedly sat up under the service of the women,
"Quick, please come in."
As soon as these two sentences were uttered, everyone outside heard a heart-piercing cough.Daiyu couldn't bear it anymore, she shook off Xichun's hand, stepped forward quickly, and entered the inner room.
Looking at her emaciated father on the bed, Daiyu felt that her mind was torn apart, so she threw herself on the side of the bed, her eyes were red, her throat was dry and itchy, and she couldn't speak a word.
Lin Ruhai herself couldn't bear it, with a bit of kindness, even if she didn't have the strength to raise her hand to touch her daughter.
The father and daughter's attitude of "life and death" made everyone in the room red-eyed. When Jia Zhen left with Xichun, the father and daughter didn't know.
The housekeeper of Lin's house sent the Jia Zhen brothers and sisters out, and kindly accompanied the master's family. Jia Zhen smiled and shook her head to express her indifference.
Now that Lin Daiyu has been sent to the place, Jia Zhen took Xichun to start today's trip.
The big business of shopping has begun, even though Xichun is a little touched by the Lin family's affairs before, but she is still a child after all, the more she gets to the lively Qianmen Street, the more eager she is to try.
"Sister, we're here, get out of the car."
The place Jia Zhen chose was Yufuxuan, where the jade wares are the most famous, although Xichun also bought a lot of jewelry after moving back.But girls, the more these things, the better.
After getting out of the car, he quickly entered Yufuxuan. The shopkeeper had a discerning eye. Looking at the two, they looked like father and daughter, so he was very courteous and authentic,
"My lord, we have some good things here. Do you want to choose some for the girl?"
"Well, if you have any good things, feel free to buy them. If my sister likes them, you can hug them all."
The appearance of a local rich man made everyone laugh.
Xichun gave her brother a hard look, really...
Jia Zhen smiled sheepishly, and then sternly swept around the people who were laughing, and everyone immediately fell silent.
The shopkeeper moved very quickly, and several large boxes of various colors were packed up.Xichun couldn't put it down after watching it, but she still picked three or four items and then stopped.
Jia Zhen wanted to persuade her again, but Xichun still shook her head.
The brothers and sisters wandered around the silver building, gold shop and so on, but Xichun's favorite is the gallery.
There are many things here, which she has never seen before, and she is nostalgic for it.After choosing a few more painting brushes and several colors of paint, he followed Jia Zhen back with some reluctance.
However, the effect of going out this time was immediate. Xichun, who was always a bit indifferent to her elder brother, actually talked to Jia Zhen about various matters of painting, and talked endlessly...
Jia Zhen has both joy and pain, but he doesn't quite understand it at all, okay?But because this was the first time that the little girl had a good face towards her, Jia Zhen had no choice but to carry on by herself.
Xichun quickly realized that her elder brother is really an illiterate person, so what's the use of talking to him about it?
But it's rare to see him have such thoughts.
Xichun looked at her brother's brisk footsteps, and heard people's words in her ears, "Master really dotes on girls", etc., Xichun felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
No matter how much he neglected himself before, what he has done these days is enough.It's a pity that Xichun is awkward because she is afraid that after she gets used to the warmth of care, she will return to the previous situation where no one cares about her.
Thinking of this, she shivered again, hardened her heart, and entered the inner room expressionlessly.
Looking at the pile of jewelry and the like, they sent someone to tidy up these things. Seeing the girl's dispirited look, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to raise their voices.
Ruhua still knows a little bit about the girl's mind, but this kind of thing is not something that a girl can meddle in, so he can only sigh and go to the small kitchen to see what food can fill the girl's stomach.
There is still a while before dinner, and the girl is growing up, so she can't be hungry.Fearing that it would be inconvenient for the girl to go to the big kitchen, the uncle specially built a small kitchen in the girl's yard.All the expenses are sent from the big kitchen, and the things are the best.
Sure enough, Ruhua quickly brought a plate of Yunpian Cake just out of the pan, and entered the room.
Although the two families are good friends, Wang Ziteng has never had any contact with Dongfu here, and his understanding of Jia Zhen is just rumors.
Now, looking at the calm Jia Zhen, Wang Ziteng sighed in his heart, this rumor is really killing people?Or is it that the patriarch of the Jia family has been hiding his clumsiness?
Thinking of the last possibility, Wang Ziteng narrowed his eyes deeply, and looked at Jia Zhen inquisitively.
Although Jia Zhen felt that this gaze was very uncomfortable, but the visitor was a guest, so he could only pretend that he didn't see it.
The two began to exchange pleasantries, starting from gossip about children, and talking about the big and small affairs of the court.We had a great time chatting.
This time, Wang Ziteng finally confirmed one thing. The patriarch of the Jia family has been hiding his clumsiness. As for why he acted like this, I'm afraid there are other secrets behind him.
Wang Ziteng sighed, feeling a little regretful.The two of them were almost fighting haha, and then they started talking about business.
Wang Ziteng, who had a cold face in front of thousands of troops and horses, had a bit of embarrassment, which really made Jia Zhen praise these people's face-changing skills very much.
"General Jia, look, you also know about these matters in the West Mansion. I have a daughter who is discussing marriage now. What if there are some gossips?"
What Wang Ziteng said was very sincere, and Jia Zhen didn't mean to play tricks with him.
"Lord Wang, it's really not that I want to persecute the second aunt of the West Mansion, it's that I've gone too far. Just look at these and you'll know,"
While talking, Jia Zhen handed the things she had prepared to Wang Ziteng.Wang Ziteng also wanted to know why the Jia clan was so aggressive.
After opening the box, it really made him tremble with anger.These two women are really daring!
Here are all the letters between Wang and Wang Xifeng who lent money and took Jia Amnesty's post to take the life lawsuit.
There are two reasons why Wang Ziteng was furious. One is that these two people are too bold, and the other is that these two people are too stupid. Such important evidence can be easily held in the palm of one's hand.
Wang Ziteng's complexion was very ugly, but Jia Zhen still looked like she hadn't seen anything, holding a teacup, sipping tea carefully, very relaxed.
After Wang Ziteng came back to his senses, he became even more wary of this Jia Zhen, she is really a person that cannot be underestimated.
"Master Jia, what do you want?"
"Master Wang, you are also a happy person, so I won't play around with you anymore. I want the Xifu to be born safely and get back on track."
Jia Zhen's request was not too much. For Wang Ziteng, if he hadn't worried about the reputation of the female family members of the Wang family, he really wanted to let go of the water splashed by his married daughter.This girl and niece are really too stupid, Wang Ziteng didn't bother to pay attention to it.
"Okay, I won't get involved in the Jia family's business. What about my sister and niece?"
"Second aunt and eldest sister can no longer get involved in the inner house."
Jia Zhen's requirements are also very low, but her own requirements are low. After Wang Ziteng is satisfied here, he lets go of Jia She's words.
He believed that the life of Wang Shi and Wang Xifeng would be wonderful.Although he will not give up, such a day will be even more sad.
Thinking of this, Jia Zhen's mood improved a lot.
"Okay. I promise, no one in our house will ask about this matter."
Hearing that his sister and niece were not in danger of their lives and would not be sent back to the Wang family, Wang Ziteng was relieved and agreed wholeheartedly.
After the two reached an agreement, Wang Ziteng left happily.Jia Zhen also sent him to the gate of the mansion with a smile.
Youshi's life is actually better now than before, although the master still treats her honestly and never enters her yard.
But Youshi was very satisfied, at least the master didn't mess around like before.Moreover, Jia Zhen handed over the affairs of the inner house to Youshi after setting the rules.
Youshi handled it with great care. In this case, Jia Zhen didn't need to embarrass Youshi.
After sending off Wang Ziteng and his wife, You Shi said to Jia Zhen in a flattering tone,
"Master, the yard you ordered a few days ago has been tidied up, what can you do?"
"Of course I want to welcome the eldest sister back. Is it possible to put it in the mansion over there so that people will be neglected?" Jia Zhen didn't change her attitude because of Youshi's dedication. It's because Youshi is so depressing .
"Uh, okay, then I'll go to Xifu to pick up my sister tomorrow."
Youshi continued to speak flatteringly.
"You don't have to worry about it, I will make arrangements for you. Have you found the maids you asked to find?"
"Of course I've found it. Master, do you want to have a look?"
She thought that Jia Zhen wanted to find the people in the room again, so what she found was all messy, but now it seems that there are some discrepancies.
"No need, prepare a few more, wait for my sister to come back, and let her choose by herself. Four big maids, eight little maids, and four nuns, they must all be ready!"
Jia Zhen said casually.Seeing Youshi's complexion changed, Jia Zhen had to emphasize again,
"After my sister comes back, if anyone dares to neglect, no matter who it is, they will all be sold out."
"Master, I made a note."
Although he didn't know what this madman was, You Shi firmly remembered that he had to try his best to please this girl, so that the master would be picky again.
After Jia Zhen ordered, she went back to the study under Youshi's somewhat regretful eyes.
The next day, the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day, and finally on the fifth day, Jia Mu sent someone to invite Jia Zhen to come.
This time, Jia Zhen went to the West Mansion alone, without bringing so many elders with her.
Jia Zhen's arrival was really welcomed by many people, not only Jia She and his son, but also Jia Zheng, the second wife, wanted to personally preside over the overall situation.
You know, in the past few days, the eldest brother is about to toss and disperse the house.Even if Erfang has Yuan Chun as a new force, facing Jia She, who doesn't play cards according to common sense, there is still not much chance to win.
"Brother Zhen, you are here. You are the patriarch, so let's preside over the separation of the two families fairly."
Mother Jia said to Jia Zhen with a bit of exhaustion and hope, especially the word "fairness".
"Don't worry old lady, I will."
Jia Zhen nodded, reassuring Mother Jia.She doesn't ask for anything else now, she just wants to separate the family as soon as possible, and live with the second room by herself, so don't let the boss make any trouble.
"It's okay to separate the family, but before that, Mrs. Wang has to retire first. I can't afford such a daughter-in-law."
Jia Amnesty has fully demonstrated what it means to "don't forgive others when you are justified", and has no intention of letting Wang Xifeng go, pressing on every step of the way.
"Father, just look at the eldest sister."
Jia Lian was smart, so he didn't mention anything else, just hugged his daughter and said.
"Hmph, with such a vicious mother, what kind of daughter can she raise?"
The Xing family has long been displeased with Wang Xifeng who only hangs around the second daughter-in-law all day long, and the benefactor who is in a different place does not pay attention to herself as a mother-in-law. Seeing that the master seems to be a little shaken, she hastily said.
Sure enough, when Jia She heard the words, his expression regained a bit of determination,
"No, Mrs. Wang can't stay."
"Brother Zhen, please speak up, my eldest sister can't live without a mother."
Jia Lian had no choice but to turn around and bow to Jia Zhen.
"Well, if you can be stronger, you won't make trouble like this." Jia Zhen shook her head with an attitude of "I can't help".
But for Wang Xifeng, I have a deeper understanding. After making such a big mistake, it is really not easy for Jia Lian to come forward to protect her.
"Big brother, she also knows she's wrong. Besides, I'm her husband, how can I ignore it? I really can't let the big sister lose her mother."
Hearing what he said was sincere, Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Zhen, wanting to know his opinion.
"Since that's the case, let's keep the eldest sister. In short, I have to give the Wang family a face."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.Wang Ziteng is now Jane's figure in the emperor's heart.
"Okay, let her go this time, but Lian'er, you have to teach her well in the future, and don't let her commit crimes again!"
"Master, I understand, thank you for your mercy."
Jia Lian thanked him again and again.Jia Amnesty really didn't like his son's "strict wife" appearance, so he snorted coldly and remained silent.
As for the Dawang family, they were naturally sent to the ancestral hall by the knowledgeable mother Jia, and they can only spend their days in the ancestral hall in the future.
The affairs of the second room naturally fell into Yuan Chun's hands, and with Yuan Chun in charge, Wang and Baoyu would not be wronged.
After Jiamu's goal was achieved, she stopped paying attention.
"Do you have a charter for the separation?"
After Wang Xifeng's matter was settled, Jia Zhen asked.
"This is the charter."
Jia Lian handed the eldest sister to the nurse beside her, and then handed the stack of papers on the table to Jia Zhen.
Jia Zhen almost burst out laughing after reading the beginning.Jia She and his son are really dead, no wonder the old lady is eager to let herself preside over the division of the family fairly.
"Here, is there such a little money in this gentleman?"
Seeing that it was still 2000 taels on the account, Jia Zhen held back a smile and asked a question.
"That's right, brother Zhen, tell me, Mrs. Wang has been in charge of the inner house for more than ten years, and I don't know how to manage it. This mansion has become a hollow shelf."
"What about other industries?"
Jia Zhen didn't bother to pay attention to the smug look in Jia She's eyes, and continued to ask.
"Of course I am seven, and the second room is three."
This is also a common practice, but Jia She made it clear that he was bullying others. The property that the second room was allocated was either in Jinling, or it was a shop that was not doing well.
As for the farms and so on, they are all hills and the like, and the good farms are not allocated to the second house at all.
After reading it, Jia Zhen was a bit puzzled and asked,
"I see that the division of property above is fairly fair. Does the old lady have a different opinion?"
It is understandable that Jia Zhen doesn't know the property status of the mansion.But for some reason, Mother Jia always felt that Jia Zhen's questioning was intentional.
"Oh, brother Zhen, you also know that there are many people in the second room, so there is naturally a lot of throwing money. From Yuanchun to Huan'er, the money for the wedding is a lot of money. There is no money in the public, and there is no money in this shop or farm. With so much promise, how can they live?"
Jia Amnesty was very tired of Jia's mother crying for poverty.
"Mother, we also have the second girl, brother Cong, and eldest sister in our eldest house. In the future, Lian'er will have another son. This is a huge expense."
Jia Amnesty's crying for poverty did not arouse Jia Mu's sympathy at all, but it made her disgusted even more.
"I'll live with your brother, okay?"
"Okay, since my mother doesn't want to be angry at the eldest room, then let's move out with my younger brother. I will give 5000 taels of silver to the second room every year in the future, which can be regarded as an expense for my mother."
Jia Amnesty seemed to be thinking clearly, and he agreed wholeheartedly.
"Brother, even if I don't have your money, I will still be filial to my mother."
Jia Zheng remained silent all this time, as if he hadn't reacted yet, but after hearing Jia's mother's words, he hurriedly expressed his opinion.
When Jia's mother heard this, she was very pleased. Isn't her second son a pure and filial person?I followed him because I meant to take care of the second room, and more for my own comfort.
"Since this is the case, then I'm the master. I'll add another thousand to the annual filial piety, okay?"
Jia Zhen interjected.
"Why?"
"I think this plan of dividing up the family is very good. Let's just stick to this division. In the future, Uncle Xi will take Lian'er and eldest sister to pay respects to the old lady, and often bring the old lady to live in the house. The last few days were also loose days."
Now that Jia Zhen had spoken, Jia Amnesty was naturally more proud and nodded repeatedly.Although Jia Zheng had objections, he looked at the stern-faced Jia Mu and kept silent.
After three to five days, the division of the West Mansion came to an end.But it will take a while before the second room moves out.
Gein's other things are easy to handle, but the house is hard to find. You know, Jia Zheng wants to take his mother out with him, so naturally he can't show his timidity, and he can't wrong Jia's mother.
According to the specifications of Rongguo Mansion, if you want to find a five-entry mansion in the inner city, not only the price is not cheap, but the place is really hard to find.
Jia Zheng is also a person who doesn't care about production, so he entrusted the full power to the servants. Unfortunately, good houses can't be found for a while.
No, this matter is left like this.
Although they live in the same mansion, they have been separated.Jia Mu also set up a small kitchen in her yard.Daiyu is the only one who is in trouble, and it will be fine with Jia Mu.
Xichun was already very bored because of these tossings in the West Mansion. As soon as her elder brother said that she would take her back to the mansion, Xichun nodded in agreement.
After returning to the West Mansion, Xichun's life has undergone earth-shaking changes, but she didn't mean to be very happy. Jia Zhen felt strange. After observing for a few days, she couldn't figure out the reason, so she asked directly.
"Sister, why are you unhappy?"
"I'm a little worried about Sister Lin."
Facing her elder brother, Xichun now has some good feelings for her, and she didn't want to be as indifferent as before, so she said it directly.
"Don't worry, your sister Lin's father has already made arrangements, and he will find out in a few days."
Seeing the little girl frowning, Jia Zhen felt that she was very cute, so she couldn't help stretching out her paw to touch her furry head, and said with a smile.
"Oh, that's all right."
It seemed that he could see that his elder brother was laughing at him, and Xichun felt that he was touching his head, which was very strange and strange.
But soon, the little girl looked at his expression, with a look of malicious intent, snorted coldly, turned and went back to the house.
Jia Zhen made a fuss by herself, touched her nose secretly, and went back to the study with her hands behind her back.
These are just gossip.
Lin Ruhai is already terribly ill now, and there is only such a girl left, who knows that not only the clan is unreliable, but even the Yue family is also unreliable?
No matter how many schemings Jia Zhen had, he still remembered the kindness towards his daughter.Otherwise, they would not have cooperated with Jia Zhen so happily.
However, Lin Ruhai is not a Buddha if he can become a third-rank official. He was not prepared for Jia's family before, but now he has calculations in his heart, so it will not make them feel better.
Yuan Chun could come out of the palace so quickly, although Jia Jing had the means, but if Lin Ruhai didn't intervene in it, no one would really believe it.
Lin Ruhai is the emperor's most valued courtier, and he is also in charge of the Jiangnan salt tax. This income is half of the treasury's income, so it is naturally a place for all parties to compete.
Not only to win over, but also various other means, of course I tried them one by one.Lin Ruhai's body is dilapidated, so it's hard to guarantee that there is no reason for these messes.
Now, Lin Ruhai is at the end of his strength, but at this moment, he has more mental strength, he has to settle his daughter well before he can close his eyes, doesn't he?
Lin Ruhai made a move, the speed and efficiency were naturally very fast, and Lin Ruhai's notes quickly reached the emperor.
Regardless of Lin Ruhai's surrender, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, the emperor was very satisfied. If Lin Ruhai continued to be stubborn, he might have to die in office.
Lin Ruhai is not his own, so the emperor will naturally not feel sorry for him, even if he is very capable, so what?
What the emperor needs is never a smart courtier, a dull courtier is always more sacred than a smart one.
But Lin Ruhai's excerpts were pitiful, and the emperor also had a heart of compassion.Soon, Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing to recuperate under the protection of the imperial doctor.
The Yanzheng in the south of the Yangtze River will naturally be taken over by the emperor's cronies. Although the emperor is angry, Lin Ruhai's health is really failing. Apart from his own anger, he has no choice but to praise Lin Ruhai well.
However, Lin Ruhai only has one daughter, and it seems that there is no way to add kindness to offspring.But someone had an idea for the emperor.
When the emperor heard the words, it was indeed very good, and he quickly nodded in agreement.The news of Lin Ruhai's arrival in Beijing was extremely secret, let alone the Jia family, even in the court, few people knew about it.
But Jia Zhen knew that the old house in the Lin Mansion was still repaired by Jia Zhen.The decline of the Lin family was just around the corner, and Jia Zhen had no other thoughts, so she sent someone to repair the old house to make it comfortable for Lin Ruhai to live in.
There are no fancy things, but it just makes Lin Ruhai feel really good.
The emperor sent the imperial doctor to be by Lin Ruhai's side, because he knew that his body would not be able to withstand the toss, and let Lin Ruhai rest at home well, and he was not in a hurry to see him.
After hearing this, Lin Ruhai was naturally very grateful. With the support of his family, he kowtowed in the direction of the palace to thank him.
After this movement, he was covered in cold sweat again, and became even weaker.
"Master, hurry back to the house and rest."
Everyone was very sad, even the imperial doctor who came to see the doctor couldn't see it, and turned his back.
Lin Ruhai naturally had no objection, and with the support of the servant, went into the house to rest.Even though he was lying on the bed, he still couldn't fall asleep, his heart was scratching in his chest, he just wanted to see his daughter.
"Master, it's better to rest as soon as possible. Master Jia will bring the girl back tomorrow. If the master's spirit is not good, I don't know how the girl will be sad."
It was the butler who knew about his master's heart disease, so he tried to persuade him, and sure enough, Lin Ruhai immediately recovered and lay down after hearing the words.
He was originally sick, so his spirit was naturally weak, and soon Lin Ruhai fell asleep.
The next day, early in the morning, Jia Zhen sent Xichun to the west mansion, asking her to find a way to bring Daiyu to this mansion.
He promised Xichun to take her to the street before, but he will fulfill it today.Although Xichun knew that he had other schemes, but for the sake of being able to go out, she agreed immediately.
But Jia Zhen didn't go there just to please her, she was ridiculed by her own sister before it was over.
Jia Zhen was happy to have such a transparent girl, but also very speechless. The girl was too smart, it was really a worrying thing, she could really bring out her own incompetence.
Touching her nose, Jia Zhen immediately lost the dog-leggedness she had just had in front of Xichun, and glared fiercely at Chang Sheng who saw her joke,
"You will be fined for two months, and you will have a long memory."
Changsheng naturally knew that his master couldn't save face, so he made amends on himself.But he really couldn't do anything, so he could only cry and thank his master for his kindness.
Seeing others unhappy, Jia Zhen felt much better.But if it can make the master happy, Changsheng himself will be happy too.He didn't expect that kind of monthly money to live on. On weekdays, what the master rewarded him was enough for his family to eat.
This statement made by the child is just to make the master happy.Although Xichun's face is cold, she also knows in her heart that her brother is very different from before. Looking at the things he bought for her before, she knows that they are good things.There are also various painting tools, neat paints, and high-quality rice paper of various colors. In the past, even Bao Ergege didn't have such good things to waste, let alone a fluffy girl.
I am grateful in my heart, and the people around are also persuading, but Xichun is used to being awkward, and has no intention of bowing her head at all. She always feels that if she bows her head first, she will be shorter, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Naturally, Jia Zhen noticed the little girl's awkwardness, but she didn't know the reason, and only those around Xichun knew the reason, because the girl's order was not easy to explain to the master, so she had to continue like this.
Now that brother has agreed, then naturally he has to take care of this matter.After Xichun asked someone to change into her out-of-door clothes, she got into a sedan chair and went to the West Mansion.
Now the West Mansion is not what it used to be, looking at the somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar scenery in the mansion, and listening to the gossip from Ruhua, Xichun is very emotional.
After entering Jia Mu's yard, I immediately noticed the difference.The atmosphere of the past is gone, but Xichun can't explain what exactly it is. This courtyard has an indistinct sense of desolation and dilapidation.
The young Xichun couldn't figure out what was going on, but she just didn't like this kind of atmosphere very much.
I don't know how the people in the mansion take care of them. Even if they have opinions on this old lady, she still has a real kindness in nurturing herself.
Thinking in this way, Xichun thought that after returning home, he would talk to his brother in a good manner and ask him to talk to Uncle Xi, so it would be better not to neglect the old lady too much.
Hearing that Xichun was coming, Mother Jia was also very happy. These days, her yard became more and more deserted. Although the long room did not intend to neglect the old lady, except for the daily greetings, no one was there. here.
Now Wang Xifeng is punished by Jia Amnesty to read, practice calligraphy, and copy the law. She is busy every day without touching the ground. Not to mention being a housekeeper, even her own yard is not under her control.
However, the current Wang Xifeng did not have the strong look she had before, her forehead was wrapped around her head, and she looked sick and crooked, which was really pitiful.
It's a pity that although Jia Lian pleaded to keep his wife, his relationship was not as good as before, and he was not as loving as before. To Wang Xifeng, his face was not his face, and his nose was not his nose.
As long as she thought about this, endless bitterness filled her mouth, her eyes were a little straight, and she didn't know whether it was regret or hatred in her heart.
But soon, Wang Xifeng cheered up. At least the second master saved herself. Whether it was because of the elder sister or the relationship between the husband and wife in the past, she had to work hard, not for anything else, but for the sake of her husband and elder sister. In terms of face, I have to cheer myself up.
The relationship between husband and wife will always be redeemed. Thinking of this, she continued to copy the law.
When she heard that Xichun was visiting, Mother Jia was very happy. The fourth girl looked indifferent in the past, but she was more affectionate than the third and second girls.
Since the separation of the two prefectures, no matter whether it is Yingchun or Tanchun, they have never been close to this old lady.
Although Jia's mother knew that they were incapable of making decisions, she still couldn't help complaining.
After Xichun paid her respects, and chatted with the old lady for a while, she said bluntly that she wanted to take Sister Lin out for a walk.
Looking at Lin Daiyu who was a little moved beside her, Mother Jia touched her pitifully, then nodded in agreement.
Daiyu was really happy, these days she has been a little restless, she just thought that these things in the house were causing trouble, but Daiyu always felt that something was wrong, now that she has the opportunity to go out and relax, it would be nice.
The two sisters got up and left, and went to the Bisha closet behind.Now only Daiyu lives here, and Baoyu has moved out long ago.
In any case, it is true that the place is much more spacious.Hearing that the girl was going to go out with the fourth girl, Zijuan was very worried. After tidying up for Daiyu, she was a little worried and watched Daiyu go out with the snow geese.
After arriving in the East Mansion, Jia Zhen and Youshi received them attentively, especially Youshi, who was so flattering that Xichun frowned.
This sister-in-law is really getting worse and worse. It seems that she will have a good time talking to her brother in a few days.
Xichun was thinking about it, but she was also thinking about going out, so she kept looking towards Jia Zhen.
Jia Zhen nodded, and everyone stood up.Jia Zhen rode the horse, Daiyu Xichun and the two sisters rode in the car, and soon they left Ningrong Street.
However, the more they walked, the quieter it became, and there was no lively market in the rumors. Daiyu and Xichun were a little surprised, but they didn't ask any questions. Looking at each other, they both saw the uneasiness in each other's eyes.
I was about to ask if I should ask, but who knows, the car stopped.
"But the girl is here?"
asked a trembling voice from outside.Daiyu thought this voice was very familiar, but she really couldn't remember where she heard it before, but her body became more stiff.
Xichun naturally noticed Daiyu's strangeness, and she didn't see her for a long time, so she opened her mouth and said,
"Who are you?"
The person outside was also startled, it wasn't the voice of his own girl, just about to explain, Jia Zhen had already walked over.To Daiyu and Xichun said,
"Miss Lin, sister, get out of the car, we are here."
The two sisters were a little confused, but according to the words, they got out of the car under the service of the maid.
The former mother-in-law looked at Daiyu's thin body, her face was full of excitement,
"Slave servant Lin Fu's family asks the girl to rest in peace."
"Mother Lin, why is it you?"
Daiyu hadn't made a sound yet, but Xueyan asked in astonishment.Daiyu just felt that her whole body seemed to be frozen, and she wanted to open her mouth to ask something, but she couldn't make a sound.
"Miss Lin, sister, this is not a place to talk, let's go in quickly."
Looking at the peeping people around, Jia Zhen felt a little annoyed, it was really inconvenient to have female relatives outside.
Daiyu and Xichun were holding hands, as if they wanted to gain strength and courage from Xichun, Daiyu's hand was tightly held.
Even though her hands hurt a little, Xichun still didn't intend to let go.Even though she was ignorant, she still knew the "Lin Fu" on the plaque.
Could this be Sister Lin's home?Guessing like this, but everyone's footsteps did not slow down.
After entering the gate of the mansion, a housekeeper came over to greet Daiyu. During this period of time, Daiyu has recovered a lot, so she calmly avoided everyone's greetings.
However, the tension on his face remained the same, and the housekeeper was still there thanking Jia Zhen for bringing her daughter back.
Originally, the Lin family was supposed to send someone to Jia's mansion to bring the girl back, but for some unknown reason, the master wanted to use this method, and everyone couldn't figure out the reason, so that was the only way to go.
The more Daiyu walked, the more her heart trembled.
"Master, Uncle Zhen has arrived with Miss Jia and Miss Jia."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruhai in the inner room hurriedly sat up under the service of the women,
"Quick, please come in."
As soon as these two sentences were uttered, everyone outside heard a heart-piercing cough.Daiyu couldn't bear it anymore, she shook off Xichun's hand, stepped forward quickly, and entered the inner room.
Looking at her emaciated father on the bed, Daiyu felt that her mind was torn apart, so she threw herself on the side of the bed, her eyes were red, her throat was dry and itchy, and she couldn't speak a word.
Lin Ruhai herself couldn't bear it, with a bit of kindness, even if she didn't have the strength to raise her hand to touch her daughter.
The father and daughter's attitude of "life and death" made everyone in the room red-eyed. When Jia Zhen left with Xichun, the father and daughter didn't know.
The housekeeper of Lin's house sent the Jia Zhen brothers and sisters out, and kindly accompanied the master's family. Jia Zhen smiled and shook her head to express her indifference.
Now that Lin Daiyu has been sent to the place, Jia Zhen took Xichun to start today's trip.
The big business of shopping has begun, even though Xichun is a little touched by the Lin family's affairs before, but she is still a child after all, the more she gets to the lively Qianmen Street, the more eager she is to try.
"Sister, we're here, get out of the car."
The place Jia Zhen chose was Yufuxuan, where the jade wares are the most famous, although Xichun also bought a lot of jewelry after moving back.But girls, the more these things, the better.
After getting out of the car, he quickly entered Yufuxuan. The shopkeeper had a discerning eye. Looking at the two, they looked like father and daughter, so he was very courteous and authentic,
"My lord, we have some good things here. Do you want to choose some for the girl?"
"Well, if you have any good things, feel free to buy them. If my sister likes them, you can hug them all."
The appearance of a local rich man made everyone laugh.
Xichun gave her brother a hard look, really...
Jia Zhen smiled sheepishly, and then sternly swept around the people who were laughing, and everyone immediately fell silent.
The shopkeeper moved very quickly, and several large boxes of various colors were packed up.Xichun couldn't put it down after watching it, but she still picked three or four items and then stopped.
Jia Zhen wanted to persuade her again, but Xichun still shook her head.
The brothers and sisters wandered around the silver building, gold shop and so on, but Xichun's favorite is the gallery.
There are many things here, which she has never seen before, and she is nostalgic for it.After choosing a few more painting brushes and several colors of paint, he followed Jia Zhen back with some reluctance.
However, the effect of going out this time was immediate. Xichun, who was always a bit indifferent to her elder brother, actually talked to Jia Zhen about various matters of painting, and talked endlessly...
Jia Zhen has both joy and pain, but he doesn't quite understand it at all, okay?But because this was the first time that the little girl had a good face towards her, Jia Zhen had no choice but to carry on by herself.
Xichun quickly realized that her elder brother is really an illiterate person, so what's the use of talking to him about it?
But it's rare to see him have such thoughts.
Xichun looked at her brother's brisk footsteps, and heard people's words in her ears, "Master really dotes on girls", etc., Xichun felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
No matter how much he neglected himself before, what he has done these days is enough.It's a pity that Xichun is awkward because she is afraid that after she gets used to the warmth of care, she will return to the previous situation where no one cares about her.
Thinking of this, she shivered again, hardened her heart, and entered the inner room expressionlessly.
Looking at the pile of jewelry and the like, they sent someone to tidy up these things. Seeing the girl's dispirited look, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to raise their voices.
Ruhua still knows a little bit about the girl's mind, but this kind of thing is not something that a girl can meddle in, so he can only sigh and go to the small kitchen to see what food can fill the girl's stomach.
There is still a while before dinner, and the girl is growing up, so she can't be hungry.Fearing that it would be inconvenient for the girl to go to the big kitchen, the uncle specially built a small kitchen in the girl's yard.All the expenses are sent from the big kitchen, and the things are the best.
Sure enough, Ruhua quickly brought a plate of Yunpian Cake just out of the pan, and entered the room.
