Xing Xiuyan never thought that Cheng would make such a move.You must know that the Lin family is also a fourth-generation marquis. Although the current residence of the Lin family is not an official residence, it was built when the first generation of the Lin family was here. Not only is the location good, but it is also a five-entry mansion.Although it is not as good as Jia's mansion in terms of regulations, it is not small in terms of area. In other words, the back garden of Lin's family may not be comparable to the Grand View Garden that will be built in the future, but Xing Xiuyan has also been to Jia's. She reckoned that the back gardens of Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion she had seen combined were only comparable to the back gardens of the Lin family.

Such a large garden was handed over to Lin Daiyu and her, and she hung up when she heard it.

She didn't want to be troublesome, so Lin Daiyu also came to discuss with her.

Xing Xiuyan said: "Sister, why don't we write down our opinions on a piece of paper to see if they agree. How about it?"

"Interesting, that's it!"

Immediately a girl took the pen and paper, Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan turned their backs, each finished writing, turned around, and unfolded the paper at the same time, they saw that they had the same idea: Xiao Gui Cao Sui.

The two couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled.

Cheng originally thought that Xing Xiuyan's temperament would be more flamboyant, but she didn't expect that after taking over the Lin family's back garden, Xing Xiuyan followed Lin Daiyu everywhere and never competed for the top. Didn't do anything else.

Of course, this is also related to the family tradition of the Lin family.The Lin family's family style is upright, everything is in order, and Lin Ruhai is shrewd, so they don't need to worry about it.

Don't mention the harmony of the Lin family, but talk about the Jia family.

After Jia Yuanchun became the Minister of Fengzao Palace, Mrs. Jia Zhengwang took a chicken feather as an arrow and said it was moving, but in fact she drove Jia She out of the original East Courtyard and stuffed it into the yard next to the stables in front. , and then demolished Jia She’s exquisitely tidied courtyard that was originally cut off from the back garden of Rongguo Mansion, and even the servant’s skirt room in the middle of Ningrong and Rongguo Mansions, and also demarcated the Huifang Garden of Ningguo Mansion. Most of them came over, rushed to work, and built a family-friendly villa for Meilun Meiyang.

The Jia family’s complacency towards Jia Yuanchun and this family-sacrificing villa is also reflected in the original name of this royal palace-level large garden:

Heavenly Immortal Treasureland!

When Lin Ruhai heard this name, Lin Ruhai snorted coldly, and directly threw down the post from Jia's family, while Xing Zhong simply hid in Zhuangzi directly under the excuse that his ranking in the college examination was not high, and he was afraid of making mistakes in the next year's examination and needed to study behind closed doors. go up.

The second aunt and the third aunt of the Xing family couldn't help muttering a few words behind their backs, but because of the Jia family, Xing's wife was also one level shorter and did not dare to speak to these two sister-in-laws, so the Xing family didn't stop for a few days, and it was still Xing Xiuyan. After getting the news, I rushed home and said to the two aunts:

"The two aunts are fascinated by a mere concubine? Do you have a better vision than the foster father or a better insight than the foster father? If there is no such thing as it, why is the foster father so eager to marry someone else? It's not his first year as a widower!"

In the end, the second aunt of the Xing family was suppressed by the third aunt of the Xing family.

It's just that Xing Xiuyan also knows that she is rich and charming, but no matter how sharp her mouth is, she is still a child, and the second aunt of the Xing family has delayed too long for the Xing family. It is not surprising that they are anxious about their marriage.

When she was having a headache about this matter, news suddenly came that the emperor had appointed Xing Zhong an official!

This still has to start with sweet potatoes.

Although it was said that they followed Lin Ruhai to Beijing because of the sweet potatoes, the sweet potatoes had been in the Royal Garden for two years without any movement, but the sweet potatoes on the farms of the Lin family and the Xing family grew very well.

Forget about the Lin family, the Xing family's village is small and close to Liujia Village and Wangjiaba, so the nearby farmers saw the high yield of sweet potatoes, so they naturally asked the Xing family for some vines to plant.Unintentionally, the Xing family took the lead in promoting sweet potatoes.

The emperor, who happened to go out of Beijing to relax and drive in the suburbs of Beijing, saw the pile of sweet potatoes as small as a hill with his own eyes. Touching it made those peasants raise their poles, lest he steal it!

After learning the details, the emperor was filled with emotion.

Of course, it is impossible for him to let Lin Ruhai, the servant of the household department, do the work of promoting sweet potatoes, but there were people around that day who would flatter him. The family has made great achievements in the promotion of sweet potatoes, and it is worthy of praise for sharing the emperor's worries. The emperor was so happy that he promoted Xing Zhong as a member of the household department on the spot. In fact, he is a non-staff member of the household department. .

Xing Zhong had never been an official, and he didn't know the various rules in the officialdom. Lin Ruhai couldn't help but invite two masters for him.

It was September when Xing Xiuyan was ten years old.The affairs of men outside have nothing to do with a little girl like her.But Xing Zhong's dramatic change in identity directly caused her identity to rise accordingly.

She has finally become a well-known official lady, because she is a serious first wife, her status is a bit higher than Tanchun, and her father's official position is on par with Jia Yuanchun who did not enter the palace.

The Jia family's attitude changed accordingly, and Wang Xifeng came to the door in person and invited the Lin family and the Xing family's female relatives to Jia's house to join in the fun.

But both Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Xing refused for the same reason: they were pregnant.

No wonder Cheng and Xing's wife attached great importance to the child in their womb.After all, in the Lin family, Lin Ruhai is over [-] years old, and the chances of getting a woman pregnant are getting smaller and smaller. In the Xing family, it is Xing's wife who is over [-] years old, and the chances of getting pregnant are getting smaller and smaller. It is no wonder that the Lin family and the Xing family are the last (born) children of this generation, so they are nervous.

Not only did they themselves ignore the Jia family's invitation, but even the invitation to Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan was blocked. The obvious reason was that Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan were worried about their younger brother who was about to be born, and they had no time to pray for Buddhist deeds.

Therefore, Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan had nothing to do with Jia Yuanchun's visiting relatives during the Lantern Festival, the first flower practice festival in the Grand View Garden, going out to worship Buddha during the Dragon Boat Festival, and even Grandma Liu's second visit to Rongguo Mansion.

It wasn't until the winter of this year that Xue Baochai's cousin and Li Wan's widowed aunt and two cousins ​​came to Beijing. Seeing that Jia Lian was useless, Jia's mother directly forced Jia Amnesty to come to the door. Only then did the Lin and Xing families react.

According to Lin Ruhai's original plan, the Jia family needed to travel far away, but he couldn't refuse Jia Amnesty.You know, although he and Jia She are some years behind, when they were young, Jia She was the heir of the Rongguo Mansion and Lin Ruhai was the heir of the Lin family, so they were the ones.Although Jia She fell silent because of the old Prince Yizhong, Lin Ruhai avoided the disaster because he had no title to attack.

Of course, Lin Ruhai also knew that if it wasn't for Jia She's secret help, he wouldn't have been able to escape the most dangerous period.This kindness is real, but because of the old Prince Yizhong, Lin Ruhai is not easy to talk about it.

On the contrary, Lin Ruhai didn't have much friendship with Jia Zhengcai!Because Jia Zheng was the second son, he was not the heir of the Jia family under the patriarchal succession system, so naturally it was impossible for him to have so many opportunities to associate with Lin Ruhai.

The social rules in the capital are like this. The heir plays with the heir, and the second son plays with the second son. This is a common practice, and the social circle of Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu is also a proof.

The friendship back then and the kindness later made it impossible for Lin Ruhai to refuse Jia Amnesty.

On the other hand, Xing Zhong couldn't refuse Jia Amnesty either.Not to mention Mrs. Xing's relationship, let's just say that when they first came to Beijing that year, the bag was full of seventy gold scorpions, which was 70 taels of gold!Converted into silver is 700 taels!

Xing Zhong knew that it was because Jia She heard that the Xing family's situation was not good, so he deliberately took care of the Xing family's face and used such a special pouch to quietly give it under Xing Xiuyan's name.

this thought,

this friendship,

Xing Zhong couldn't deny it.

It's just that the two of them really don't want to have any contact with the Jia family. After thinking about it, they can only learn from the historians. The men of the two families excused their business and couldn't come to the house. On the other hand, Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan packed up decently, and brought home-made wine, books, pens and ink and other gifts to Rongguo Mansion to greet Jiamu.

When Jia's mother saw Lin Daiyu, she was very excited, she hugged Lin Daiyu in her arms, and slapped Lin Daiyu hard twice: "Cruel-hearted Yu'er~! You are so cruel! I haven't seen you for two whole years!"

Lin Daiyu was so hugged that she couldn't breathe.

Xing Xiuyan could only answer on his behalf: "Old lady, you are wrong to blame my sister. First of all, there are many people in the house who are busy with family affairs, so how can we come here easily? The trouble is small, and the wife and sister-in-law are too tired to run around for us. , Is it our fault that we are tired?! It is easy to hear that the house is complete, but who would have thought that it is such a coincidence? Both my wife and my mother have good news. Old lady, the adoptive father is so old. Youxu, my father is also the same, eager to hug his son! How dare you make troubles? It's just me. I have worshiped so many Buddhas and burned so many incense sticks with my two aunts this year, so I begged my brother to come here! "

Before Xing Xiuyan finished speaking, Li Wan's widowed aunt had already spoken first: "I heard that Lin Shilang is over fifty years old, right? This is indeed a big deal!"

To have no son is to be worthless, even if Lin Daiyu is a living person standing here, as long as there is no son, the Lin family will have no heirs or successors.

Aunt Li knew this very well: "Then, how is Brother Lin? How is your brother?"

Xing Xiuyan replied: "Everything is fine. If it hadn't been for a hundred days, brother Lin and my brother looked healthy, and their arms and legs were strong. My sister and I might not be able to go out."

Aunt Li was even more curious: "This is really a coincidence. Are they born in the same birth?"

"That's not true. Brother Lin is half a month older than my brother."

Jia Baoyu didn't care about all this, he said: "Sister Lin, you are here, I have reserved a room for you!"

Jia Mu said, "Exactly! This time, you have to stay for a while before going back!"

Lin Daiyu could only say yes, and asked where she lived.

Jia Baoyu replied enthusiastically; Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Xing Xiuyan said: "Xiaoxiang Pavilion? It sounds elegant, but I don't know what kind of place it is?"

Jia Baoyu replied: "Xiaoxiang Hall is naturally a very quiet place, and there are thousands of bamboo poles in front of the house, which is the most clean."

Xing Xiuyan didn't wait for Lin Daiyu to answer, and said directly: "Bamboo with a thousand poles? It sounds so cold. If it's okay in summer, but in winter, the bamboo moves with the wind. Thinking about it, the cold oozes from the bones! I remember my cousin Last year, I still remembered that my sister was afraid of the cold, so why did I forget this year?"

This made Jia Baoyu laugh at himself: "Damn it, damn it! I actually patronized the beautiful and quiet view of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and forgot that my sister couldn't stand it."

Jia Mu then said, "It's easy. Just open the Luxue nunnery."

Lin Daiyu immediately said: "Old lady, I will follow you, why bother to open another place?"

Jia Mu said, "Your sisters are all in the garden. You can go in there to relax. Why bother to squeeze in with me, an old woman? Besides, I already have your sister Qin here. If you stay, the room will be too crowded." gone."

Where is it too crowded, it is clear that they want to create opportunities for Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng hurriedly said, "I'll lead someone to clean it up right now. Sister Xing will stay with the second younger sister."

Unexpectedly, Lin Daiyu said: "Let Sister Xing stay with me. She has always been bold, and I feel at ease when she is here."

Jia's mother also knew that Xing Xiuyan was Lin Ruhai's adoptive daughter. After two years, Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan had an unusual relationship, so she agreed.

The author has something to say: the regulations are inferior, not the area.

See the Royal Courtyard, which covers an area larger than that of the Imperial Palace!Regulations are actually the facade, layout, height of the house, decoration on the roof, and furnishings in the house. These things have basically nothing to do with the total area of ​​​​the house.
