What should I do when I meet my sister-in-law in Red Mansions?

It is said that since Daiyu arrived in Yangzhou, she has had all kinds of comfortable days.Except for occasionally thinking about my grandmother, I don't miss my life in Beijing at all.

Today, after listening to her father's words, she began to learn how to take care of the house. When she opened the account book, she saw the gifts that her father had sent to Jia's mansion over the past few years, which contained detailed gift lists.Daiyu picked up the gift list with great interest, but the more she looked at it, the more ugly her face became.

There are several antique ornaments in Baoyu's house that are on this gift list, and what's more, Baoyu doesn't care about those things at all, and let those girls spoil them!Even though Baoyu might not know that it was a gift from the Lin family, Daiyu still felt angry with Baoyu.

Looking at the back, there is actually 5000 taels of silver left, which is specifically marked for my own expenses.But why, I don't even know it at all?Why do those servants of Jia's mansion still say that they "use every scrap and paper from this mansion"!

Daiyu's heart is inherently kind, and she doesn't think of others badly, but she felt so suffocated that she burst into tears, and the servants around her rushed forward to comfort her.

Daiyu's thoughts changed sharply, she was afraid that her father would find out and worry about herself, so she hurriedly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, but she had the intention to explore. She stayed in Jia's mansion for five or six years, and her father only had to pay for it every year. In addition to the annual ceremony and festival ceremony, an additional 3 taels of silver were given away!

This made Daiyu feel very uncomfortable, but she couldn't tell the reason.

In the evening, while having dinner with Lin Ruhai, Daiyu asked. Lin Ruhai looked very surprised and asked,

"Could it be that I send people to Beijing every year, but Yu'er hasn't seen it?"

"Yes, yes, but my daughter has never asked about this!"

"Hey, didn't your grandmother give you pocket money? I give Jia's 3 taels a year, of which 5000 taels are your pocket money."

"No, no. Like the girls, I have a monthly allowance, and I never go out, and I have no place to spend money."

Although Daiyu would not hide her father, she still felt that something was wrong, so she slightly excused her grandmother.

Lin Ruhai lamented our daughter's kindness in his heart, but at the same time, he hated Jia's family for oppressing Yu'er.

There will always be a chance to repay in the future. After this year, I will be able to transfer back to Beijing. At that time, I will ask my good mother-in-law!

"Your sister Bao is the girl from the Xue family, what do you think?"

"Sister Bao is a steady person, and her actions are down-to-earth. I heard that she was the one who took care of the housework before, because her brother didn't make progress. Now it's not the case. Her brother seems to be a different person, and he knows how to make progress. Yes, Sister Yibao will recite poems against us every day and do needlework."

"Oh, this is a rare one, but it's just a bad background!"

"Who said it wasn't? Sister Bao seemed to be going to participate in the palace selection, but it seemed that her brother didn't agree. Therefore, Sister Bao didn't go."

"How do you know about such a thing?"

"It's all Baoyu told me. He doesn't know where he gets the news from time to time, and he always tells me something."

"Where is Baoyu, how is your reading? When do you plan to go to the end?"

Following Daiyu's words, Lin Ruhai changed the topic and asked.

"Just him? I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in this life. What Baoyu hates the most is those people who spend their days trying to get fame. Why would I go to find that trouble."

"Hey, how will he survive in the future?"

After Daiyu was startled for a while, she said,

"Of course the old lady and the second uncle arranged it!"

Lin Ruhai also discovered the innocence of her own daughter, sighed in her heart, and followed the advice carefully,

"What about after the old lady and your second uncle die? What about Baoyu?"

"This... Daddy, my daughter understands."

"It's good to know. Even if a good man can't serve the country and serve the people, he still has to learn the skills to protect his relatives, just like Baoyu. Now under the protection of the old lady and your second uncle, he can be at ease. What about in the future? Wait After the old lady and your second uncle are old, who can take care of them?"

"It can't be at that time, Baoyu will rely on others again, right?"

"That's right, the grandparents' house is very grand, after a long time, I'm afraid it will be out of succession!"

"It's rare that my daughter has this insight. Since you can see it, how wise is your grandmother? How can you not know it? There is a solution, don't worry."

"It's my daughter who's being abrupt."

When Daiyu heard this, her face flushed and she muttered.

"My Yu'er is as knowledgeable as a man, very good!"

Lin Ruhai was even more worried about Daiyu's situation, but she was also very relieved that her daughter was smart enough to judge the situation, which is good.He believed that with time, those minor problems would naturally be corrected one by one.

On this day, Jia Lian came to Lin Ruhai in a hurry,

"Uncle, Brother Rong and his daughter-in-law died in the East Mansion. The old lady wrote to me and asked me to go back and help Brother Zhen with housekeeping for a few days. I think I will leave in the next day."

After Lin Ruhai stroked a piece of Tianhuang paperweight for a while, he raised his head and asked,

"This is what it should be. Then you pack up and hurry back. You have worked so hard to send Yu'er back, and I haven't thanked you yet."

"Uncle was joking. This is my job. It's not worth being an uncle to say thank you."

"I don't know my cousin..."

Jia Lian hesitated for a moment before asking this question. The old lady said that she must take Daiyu back, otherwise this time, she might be scolded again!

"My health is not good, Yu'er will naturally stay here to serve me for a few days now, and when I go to Beijing in the next year, I will take Yu'er to the mansion to greet the old lady. Don't worry."

"That's fine. Uncle should take care of himself."

Jia Lian didn't dare to say anything more to Lin Ruhai, so she immediately retreated silently.

Lin Ruhai's eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Jia Lian rushed day and night, and finally arrived at the mansion. Before he had a sip of tea, he heard a message from Zhou Rui's family, saying that his wife had asked the second master to question him.

Even if Jia Lian was full of worries, he had no choice but to change into his homely robe and go to Rongxi Hall.Every time he passed by here, he would stare at the plaque of Rongxi Hall for a while, thinking that all this would be his own in the future, he became more enthusiastic and less resistant to the Second Wife looking for him.

The good mood of debugging disappeared after Mrs. Wang's first words.

"How come you brought back all the properties of the Lin family?"

"Well, Uncle Lin is just sick and misses his cousin, so he sent a letter to pick her up."

Jia Lian didn't dare to be presumptuous when facing his elders, so he had to reply like this.

"What? Didn't you say you were dying?"

Mrs. Wang made a sharp sound, and Jia Lian took half a step back in fright. He managed to stabilize his mind and replied,

"Where did this news come from, Ma'am? I'm afraid it's a rumour, and it's wrong. Mr. Zhang Youshi, who Sister Lin brought with her when she went south, had a very good pulse. He said that my uncle is just a little overworked, and he just needs to take good care of him in the future." It’ll be all right once.”

"That's...that's right, this servant knows how to talk nonsense and curse the master. You've been tired for so long, so go back and rest quickly. Girl Feng is now in the mansion over there to help Brother Zhen with some matters, You can't blame her, I let her go after discussing with your wife."

Mrs. Wang restrained her emotions in time, and said to Jia Lian with a loving face.

"Thank you for your kindness, my nephew is leaving!"

"Well, you go."

After Jia Lian withdrew, he groaned coldly in his heart and went to Rongqing Hall.The second wife is not in charge of this mansion, there is an old lady on top.

"So, your Uncle Lin is fine now?"

Mother Jia stared at the teacup in her hand for a long while before staring at Jia Lian and asking.

"Yes, it's all right now. According to Uncle Lin, he will be able to enter Beijing in the next year, and he said that he will bring Sister Lin to pay respects to the ancestor."

Jia Lian also sensed Jia's mother's dislike, so he hastily added this sentence.Jia Mu also put on a happy face and said,

"That's all right. You go back to rest first, and then go over there in two days to help Brother Zhen cook for two days. Feng girl is very hard, you have to be considerate of her."

"The old lady knows that she will love her grandson anyway!"

"Okay, don't be funny, go to rest!"

Jia Lian talked and laughed with Yuanyang and flattered Jia Mu for a long time before leaving Rongqing Hall and returning to her yard.

Looking at the empty room, he didn't know what he was thinking. He lay on the bed with his clothes on, and his boots were still on. Not long after, he fell into a deep sleep.

When Wang Xifeng, who came to hear the news, saw this scene, he was angry and distressed.After staring at him for a long while, Fu asked Ping'er to go on and ask the kitchen to prepare some snacks and refreshments for him, so as to save him from being hungry later, but not being able to reach his mouth for a while.

Ping'er heard the words and went, Wang Xifeng rubbed her stiff neck and lay down together, the couple had a good sleep together.

After Ping'er came back, seeing this shape, he was very angry, but he also whispered to all the girls and those who are in charge of the daughter-in-law, don't come over to interfere, and went to see the elder sister in person, and then he stayed outside house, afraid that people would disturb the two of them.

When Jia Lian and his wife woke up, it was already time to light the lamps. Sister Feng was shocked, and she was afraid that she would miss the affairs of the mansion over there and make people laugh again, but what should I do.

"Ping'er's hoof actually didn't call me, let's see how I punish her!"

"You can do it, I think you look so bad, you should take a good rest. What should you punish her for? It's justified to reward her with a bowl of good wine."

"Ouch, are you feeling distressed?"

Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian contemptuously, waiting for him to say something nice, so as to flirt with him.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I love you so much. It's so easy to have such a sweet girl. How can I not protect you. Don't know what's good or bad!"

"Okay, I don't know who you are! What's the matter? I went to Suzhou and Hangzhou, haven't you seen the world yet?"

"Hey, don't mention it. Uncle Lin is just tired. It's ridiculous that our house only thinks that someone is dying, and let me collect the family wealth, ridiculous!"

Jia Lian cursed in a low voice.

"Keep your voice down. After all, you're just an errand runner. You can't do anything, and it's not worth anything. Why bother?"

Wang Xifeng spat at him. At this time, Ping'er had already prepared water, wine and food for his wives to bring up.

"Second Master, Second Mistress, eat a couple of bites quickly, it's too late to eat anymore."

"Good girl, I will love you for your grandma's sake!" Wang Xifeng praised.

"Quick talk less, eat more food is serious, I stopped for half a day, those people are about to eat me. But hurry up. Later, the old lady's house will pass the food again, how can you have time to play tricks?" !"

Ping'er didn't accept her favor, and replied without raising his head.Fu put a bowl of pearl ball and chestnut rice soup in front of her.

"Should!"

Jia Lian relieved his anger.The couple chatted and laughed a few more words, then cleaned their hands and began to eat and drink well.

During dinner and tea breaks, Jia Lian naturally asked about various matters in the family after parting and the funeral of Brother Rong's daughter-in-law in the mansion over there.

Wang Xifeng was worried that no one would know her credit, and said with a smile,

"How can I care about these things! I have little knowledge, stupid words, and a straight heart. If someone gives a stick, I will recognize it as a 'needle'. My face is soft, and I can't hold back a few good words from others, but I feel compassion in my heart." It’s just that Big Brother Zhen is begging for love in front of his wife, so she has no choice but to agree. Now I’m just fooling around in the mansion over there for a few days. When you see Big Brother Zhen tomorrow, you can at least make up a few words to let He should not regret and complain in the future."

"Okay, I still don't know your ability, since everything is well thought out!"

"puff……"

Ping'er's smile made Jia Lian and his wife look at her at the same time, wanting to see what kind of funny things happened to her!

"My grandma, don't be idle anymore, the old lady is passing food around!"

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng hurriedly left Jia Lian, took Ping'er, and went to Rongqing Hall...
