After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber
Chapter 164 Lin Ruhai
In the early morning of the next day, Lin Ruhai's family had breakfast, and then took a bus to Rongguo Mansion to visit.
The carriages of the whole family have arrived at the door, but they saw that the door of Yiyi was closed tightly, and there was no intention of welcoming guests at all.
Jia Minxiu frowned slightly, wondering if something had happened to her natal family, and hurriedly ordered Xu Gan to knock on the door.
Xu Qian knocked for a long while, and then a yawning, lazy voice came from inside: "Who is it? It's so early in the morning, disturbing people's dreams!"
Jia Min's eyebrows furrowed together again: She has been back to her mother's house so many times, but she has never received such treatment.
Lin Ruhai patted her hand lightly, signaling her to be calm.
Lin Ying, who was already eight years old and had just taken shape, also comforted her: "There must be some misunderstanding, mother, don't worry."
Jia Min felt that what his son said made sense, so he calmed down and waited to see the follow-up development.
"Squeak——" With a long sound, the Yimen on the east side of Rongguo Mansion opened, and a man in dark blue and short brown poked his head out: "Who am I talking about... Oh, it's Brother Xu, why are you here?" Yes? But does the aunt have something to say?"
Xu Gan's face changed slightly, and he gave way to the doorman to see Lin's carriage: "Our master and wife brought my brother to pay my respects to the old lady."
Surprise flashed across the porter's face, he hurriedly opened another door, and trotted out to greet Lin Ruhai's family.
Then, he said with a look of embarrassment: "My aunt and my aunt came suddenly, and the mansion is not prepared. I also ask the three of you to rest here at the porter for a while, and let the young ones go in and report."
As the concierge spoke, he observed Jia Min's expression carefully, and at the same time he murmured in his heart: This son-in-law and aunt-in-law are usually the most courteous, why did they come here so rashly this time?
It's no wonder that he didn't know, he wasn't on duty yesterday, and the Wang family ordered that no rumors be allowed, so he didn't even know that the Lin family had handed over the greeting card.
Lin Ruhai and his wife looked at each other, Jia Min suppressed his anger and didn't speak, but Lin Ruhai's face remained normal, and he said politely, "Then I'll have to work."
The concierge welcomed the family of three into his usual restful place, and while making tea himself, he asked his son to run errands to report to the second gate.
"Uncle, aunt, I only have rough tea here, it's not a respect, it's not a respect." The concierge laughed along, and specially prepared a stack of white sugar cakes for Lin Ying.
Ever since Jia Min was young, has he ever suffered such a dull loss and lost such a big face?
But she also knew that these people below were just following the orders of the master above, and this concierge might have taken the thunder for others, so he didn't know anything!
She doesn't have to argue with him, it's nothing interesting.
Lin Ruhai is very self-restraining, and he didn't get angry at all because of this little thing.
He has even begun to analyze in his heart: who is the mastermind behind this matter.
According to what he knew about the masters of the Rongguo Mansion in his previous life, he didn't need to think too much, the answer was already in his heart.
——Except for the second wife's wife, Mrs. Wang, he really couldn't think of anyone else who would do such a thing that would harm others and expose his IQ?
He just thought it was funny: Jia Zheng and his wife are really a natural couple.Get together, and save others from harming others.
The servants reported in layer by layer, and after about a quarter of an hour, a few strong young servants came over with three soft sedan chairs and invited their family to get on the sedan chairs.
When they got to the second gate, the young servant was replaced by a strong woman, and they were carried outside the Chunxi Hall where the old lady Shi lived.
Because Jia's mother didn't know that her daughter and her family were coming, Chunxitang didn't make any preparations.Fortunately, Jia's mother is old and feels little, and she has had breakfast by now.
Otherwise, it would be even more disrespectful for their family.
After the two parties saw the ceremony, Jia Min, who was suffocated, preemptively said: "Mother, I sent someone to deliver the post yesterday, why does the concierge act like he doesn't know?"
She only said that the concierge was negligent, and never mentioned anything about the master.But Mother Jia was not really confused and after a little thought, she understood what was going on.
In her heart, she scolded Wang Shi for being an idiot, but for the sake of her beloved son Jia Zheng, she had no choice but to pretend to be foolish and thoughtful for Wang Shi: "I'm afraid I won't be able to keep such slaves who bully the master. Don't worry, Min'er. When your sister-in-law comes later, I will let her vent your anger on you!"
Upon hearing this, Jia Min understood her mother's plan.
Even though she knew that she was always inferior to Jia Zheng in Mother Jia's mind, Jia Min still felt a little bit wronged.
But she is no longer a little girl who shows everything on her face. No matter how she feels in her heart, she is as if nothing has happened on her face, making it impossible to see her thoughts.
"Then I would like to thank my mother and sister-in-law."
Jia Mu patted her hand with a smile: "One family, why bother to talk about two different languages?"
Jia Min also smiled: "What mother said is true."
——In the end, the Jia family and the Lin family are two families.
Thinking of this, Jia Min felt much better.
——Jia's mother is towards the Jia family, just like she is towards the Lin family.
Not long after, Jia Zheng and his wife and Yuan Chun arrived first.Although Wang tried her best to cover it up, the schadenfreude on her face can still be seen at a glance.
Jia Min suddenly felt that it was a shame to argue with an "innocent" fool like her!
Pian Wang didn't know how to hold back, and asked, "Why did my sister and brother-in-law come suddenly? The whole family didn't make any preparations. It's really neglectful. I hope my sister is not there, so don't take offense."
Lin Ruhai and his wife were fine, Lin Ying was young after all, and the people around him usually loved him or flattered him.
He had endured it for so long today, and his heart was aggrieved long ago. At this time, he heard such harsh words from Mrs. Wang, and Dang even couldn't help but go back: "I don't know which aunt is the house of your house? The people below take the guests I lost all my greeting posts, so it can be seen that there are so many things to do every day, and I am too busy."
He stood up and bowed to Jia Mu, and said with a smile: "Grandmother is the most kind, please take care of the aunt who is in charge of the family, and find someone to help her share a little bit, so as not to lose the post of the noble family in the future, it will not end well."
He was a little boy, and he said this with a playful smile, even if Jia Zheng's face was flushed, he couldn't argue with him.
Wang was ashamed, and her expression of gloating suddenly froze.
Lin Ying glanced at her, curled her lips secretly, and probably guessed what was going on.
Although Jia's mother intended to teach Wang a lesson, Lin Ying felt ashamed of being Wang, and she felt uncomfortable.
In Jia's mother's heart, although Lin Ying had a reputation, she was not her grandson after all, and her blood was not shed.Compared with Wang's, Lin Ying is an outsider.
But in the end, it was Wang who did it unkindly. Now that it is said on the face, even if she wants to defend her, she can't act too much.
Fortunately, at this time, the Song family also brought Jia Lian, which temporarily relieved the embarrassing atmosphere.
Mrs. Song didn't know if she had a son and everything was enough, or if she suddenly figured it out, when talking with Jia Min, she became more comfortable and friendly.
At least, Jia Min didn't feel the faint feeling of dissatisfaction when facing the Song family in the past.
Although I don't know why, Jia Min is happy to see such a change.
After all, she is her natal sister-in-law, so she is always targeting her, which is also a trouble.
However, a group of people talked for a long time, but they never saw Jia Amnesty. Jia Min couldn't help but asked, "Is eldest brother not at home?"
This sentence seemed to have touched some taboo, and the complexions of Jia Mu and Jia Zheng's couple suddenly turned dark.
Only Mrs. Song replied with a smile: "Didn't the sage send troops to the northern border? At least your elder brother has the title of first-class general, so he got a position through connections and followed suit."
Although she didn't know what her natal elder brother said to Jia She, seeing that Jia She finally had to muddle along and become proactive, as a wife, Song could only be happy.
But this is definitely not a good thing for Jia Mu and Jia Zheng couple.
——At first, it was extremely difficult for them to plan to take Jia She's title away, but now Jia She has suddenly made progress. If he made a contribution in this Northern Expedition, wouldn't Jia Zheng have no chance?
As for Jia Hu, who is already 12 years old and still standing, she has been selectively ignored by Jia's mother.
It's not her fault, who made her natal nephew's title equal to that of her elder brother?
But Mother Jia ignored Jia Hu, and Mrs. Wang would not ignore it.
If Jia Zheng can really seize Jia She's title, she will never let Jia She's two sons live to be an eyesore!
Jia Min glanced quickly at the faces of his mother, second brother, and second sister-in-law, and said with a smile, "This is a good thing. It's also because I came back late, so I couldn't do it for my elder brother."
Song said with a smile: "They are all flesh and blood of the same family, so why care about these vain etiquette?"
It seemed that the person who was upset because Jia Min gave Jia Hu and Jia Zhu similar gifts in the past was not her at all.
Naturally, Jia Min wouldn't care about these things with her, and the two complimented each other again, and they seemed to be enjoying themselves.
At this time, Jia Zheng invited Lin Ruhai to the study to talk, and Lin Ying, who was already eight years old, naturally wanted to go out with him.Mother Jia didn't like him in her heart, so naturally she wouldn't say anything to persuade him to stay.
Once the men go out, the mothers will feel more comfortable talking.Even Yuan Chun, who had been silent just now, began to flatter his grandmother.
Jia Min watched coldly. Although Yuan Chun was only seven years old, his every move was as if measured with a ruler.
Fortunately, although Yuan Chun was young, he already had a certain bearing, and he didn't appear to be too rigid.
At such a young age, but without the vigor it should have, Jia Min saw it as awkward and distressed.
Thinking about his mother's plan when he was young, and looking at Yuan Chun today, what else does Jia Min not understand?
——My mother's desire to be a relative of the emperor has never died!
In the past, when her father was still there, there was a father who suppressed her and did not allow her to act out of line.
But now that his father is gone, the second brother and the second sister-in-law seem to be wishing for it.As a niece, she might not be able to escape the fate of falling into the palace.
Regarding this, Jia Min secretly sighed, she couldn't bear it, and secretly reminded her mother that the palace is not a good place to be.
But every time, Mother Jia can change the topic lightly, and Jia Min can't be nosy anymore.
And the Wang family on the side already wanted to rush up and stop Jia Min's mouth.
From Wang's point of view, Jia Min married a poor scholar, so he couldn't see his daughter fly to a branch to be a concubine. How vicious was his mind?
And Song Shi secretly sighed: her sister-in-law is really soft-hearted.Don't you know that there are some people in this world, like the snake saved by the farmer, instead of thanking you, they will bite you back.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Jia Min quickly changed the subject, flattering her mother and telling a joke.
After all, Jia's mother loved Jia Min very much, and she didn't want to get into a fight with her daughter. Seeing her daughter handing over the diaper, she followed along.
So, when you have intentions and I have intentions, after a while, the atmosphere became lively again.
The carriages of the whole family have arrived at the door, but they saw that the door of Yiyi was closed tightly, and there was no intention of welcoming guests at all.
Jia Minxiu frowned slightly, wondering if something had happened to her natal family, and hurriedly ordered Xu Gan to knock on the door.
