The old lady of the Lin family in Honglou

Jia Min coughed a few times half-relying, and the Cui family immediately came in nervously to relieve Jia Min. If he didn't make it easier, Jia Min's life would be killed if he really coughed, and the Lai family handed him throat tea .

"I don't know what kind of illness it is. I've been lying in bed for several months. I'm not afraid to worry you. I'm really afraid that it will disappear that day." Jia Min said sadly.

"My aunt almost didn't say that. The old lady is still looking forward to my wife's return to Beijing for a gathering. The old lady asked me to bring a lot of medicinal materials, as well as thousand-year-old wild ginseng. As long as it is warmed and nourished, it will be fine again." Lai's family said comfortingly.

"I hope so." Jia Min smiled helplessly.

"How's the family going, how can mother eat and sleep well?" asked softly

"Everything is fine at home. Now the second grandmother Lian is taking care of the house, and it is safe and secure. The old lady is doing well, and the food is still the same, but the sleep is a little lighter. I heard that my aunt is sick, and I have been thinking about it all the time. .”

"My daughter is unfilial, and my mother is worried." Jia Min lay on her back.

"It's good for my aunt to recover from her illness with peace of mind. Don't worry about everything else. The old lady still has a letter for the old slave to pass on to my aunt." Bian took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Jia Min.

Jia Min opened the letter and looked at it slowly, "Mother said she sent two people to take care of me, where are they?"

"Stay in the servant's room. The old lady has told me not to wander around."

Jia Min nodded incredulously, "When is Mama Lai planning to go back?"

"I walked slowly along the way. I was worried that the old lady in the mansion was waiting anxiously, so I will leave the day after tomorrow." The Lai family also wanted to stay for a few more days. Thinking that it took so long to come, they had to rush back earlier, otherwise they would not be able to go back. Easy to explain.

"That's fine, you go down and rest first, and come back later and talk to me about the family affairs." Jia Min said as she put down the letter in her hand.

"The aunt rests first, and the old slave is going down." The Lai family said goodbye.

The Cui family tucked the quilt over Jia Min, and seeing that the master seemed to be in good spirits, he said, "Madam hasn't received a letter from the old lady for a long time, and now she looks more energetic."

"Yeah, how many years have we been away from the capital? Now we have grandchildren, but we haven't gone back to see our mother, so we don't know what's going on now?"

"The old lady is in better health than the old lady in our family, and she should be better than the old lady." The Cui family didn't know what to say, so they had to compare Lin Lin.

"If that's the case, you don't have to worry too much."

Jia Min continued to read the letter, "Tomorrow, prepare 2 taels of silver bills and show me the list of gifts for everyone in the family. If you are in a hurry, you may not be able to prepare any good things."

"Madam, don't worry too much. It's fine according to the usual rules." The Cui family has prepared for this matter many times.

"Nowadays, the family's harvest is small, and life is not as easy as before. I can't help much here, and I just want to help with it. You can thicken the gift list in the future."

"The servants will go down and get ready." The Cui family didn't quite believe how the powerful Jia's mansion would fall down, thinking of the few times the master sent money back, and it was Jia's mother who wrote the letter, I'm afraid it was really a receipt. Reduced, the master's income these years has been good, except that the eldest lady used a sum when she got married, and the rest has not been touched much. It is normal to want to subsidize one or two of the rich private property.

In the letter, Jia's mother said a lot of caring words, which made Jia Min miss Jia's house even more.Baoyu next to Jia Mu became more and more well-behaved and motivated, but it still couldn't stop Jia Mu from worrying about Jia Min. Jia Mu wanted to take Daiyu over. It would be great if Daiyu could marry Baoyu. Daughter, can also solve the longing.

Jia Min felt more and more guilty when she saw Jia's mother worrying about her. Baoyu is a good person, and Jia's mother is taking care of her. Min also thinks that Mother Jia's proposal is very good.

When Xie Ying arrived at Lin Lin's place, Lin Lin nodded secretly when she saw Xie Ying's ruddy complexion, and Xie Ying didn't hurry after returning, otherwise this grandson would not be able to bear it.

Xiao Lanzi didn't even recognize Lin Lin anymore. After inviting An, she leaned beside Xie Ying in a regular manner and looked at everyone curiously.Xiao Lanzi is very active. After she learned to walk, she couldn't see her if there were fewer people around her. She ran around all day, curious about everything, and wanted to move everything, even the caterpillars in the garden.Now that he can behave well, like a little lady, he knows that Xie Ying teaches well. At this time, it is not easy for children to sit still.

"Xiao Lanlan is so obedient, come and sit by your ancestor's side." Satisfied, Lin Lin stretched out her hand to let Xiao Lan sit by her side.

Seeing her mother's encouraging eyes, Xiao Lanlan came over obediently. Lin Lin put her arms around Xiaolan and asked her to sit beside her. Lanlan kicked her legs twice and climbed up to finish. Lin Lin smiled and said, "Lanlan is still so lively."

"In order to make her quieter, my daughter-in-law has spent a lot of time." Xie Ying smiled when she saw that Lin Lin still liked her daughter so much.

"Little niece should be more lively." Daiyu can be said to have watched Lan Lan grow up, and she liked Lan Lan as much as she liked. Seeing Lan Lan sitting next to her grandmother, she did the same.

"Hehe, children don't need to be too suppressed. After learning the rules, they will grow up. Look at Daiyu now, she is much stronger than before, and she can control me." Lin Lin laughed.

"Grandmother, if you say that, your granddaughter will not obey you. Daiyu is filial."

"Hehe, Daiyu is right."

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for a year. Seeing Daiyu, who used to be a non-human being in our family, transform into our little housekeeper. Seeing my sister-in-law really opened my eyes." Xie Ying joked .

"Hmph, I'm ignoring you, but actually making fun of me, it's better for Lan Lan." Dai Yu hugged Lan Lan and said proudly.

Both Lin Lin and Xie Ying laughed, Lanlan didn't know why, seeing everyone happy, she laughed along with her.Daiyu and Lanlan played together immediately.

Lin Lin asked Shuya to look at Lanlan more, and asked about Xie Ying's affairs in the capital.Although Lin Sui wrote back every month, now that Xie Ying is back, I still want to ask Xie Ying to talk about it in person.

Xie Ying sorted out the seriousness of things in Beijing.Lin Lin knew that this kid, Lin Sui, would handle it well. Like Lin Ruhai, this kid was careful and calculated, and he always followed the golden mean in dealing with things. Lin Sui had accepted a lot of unscrupulous ways, and Lin Lin was really worried that he would be aggressive in dealing with things. Now it seems that Lin Ruhai is also very careful.

Lin Lin asked how the Jia family was doing now.Lin Daiyu always receives thick letters, and now she is no stranger to the affairs of her grandparents, and now she listens curiously when she hears her grandmother's question.

"Grandmother is old and doesn't care anymore. Every day, I just let the younger generation have fun in front of me. The eldest aunt went to Lianghu a few days ago. The eldest cousin has a grandson. The eldest aunt went to see it. The second aunt every day Eating vegetarian food and reciting Buddha, there is nothing busy. Sister-in-law Zhu brings her nephew, and she rarely goes out when she is in the house. Now it is Lian's second sister-in-law who is in charge of the housekeeping. This sister-in-law is very neat, and the granddaughter-in-law also likes to get along with her." Thank you Ying also made a rough idea.

"What about the others?"

"Second aunt has a few cousins ​​who have separated, and my sister-in-law is not very clear about it. Your eldest cousin Yuan Chun was sent to the palace a long time ago, and the remaining few cousins ​​are older than you. They go to boudoir school for half a day every day." , and then I went to see your grandmother. Uncle’s cousin Cong and second uncle’s cousin Huan were both young and didn’t go out much, but second uncle’s brother Baoyu was raised in the grandmother’s room and usually went to see her. Knowing how much he likes to play with girls, how can he say, coax a girl."

"It's so old, what's the point of coaxing girls, it's serious to study hard." Lin Daiyu said disdainfully.

"Hehe, my grandmother is in so much pain that she almost raised her as a girl. I really don't want him to be troubled, so I only study for half a day every day."

Daiyu knew from a young age that her elder brother studied hard for the sake of her family's lintel, so she was very attentive when studying, and she looked down on this kind of person from the bottom of her heart.

"I heard from my mother that my cousin has a psychic gem. Is it true? Has my sister-in-law seen it?" Daiyu asked curiously.

"I've seen it, I've seen it, Xiao Lanlan has played it before. It's so big, it's so big," Xiao Lanlan said happily, gesturing with her hands.

"That stone looks a bit different, like jade, but not jade. There are words that vaguely seep out of it. I didn't look at it carefully. It was said in Beijing that it was amazing."

"The stones are too good to be a waste." After such a long period of communication, Daiyu didn't have a good impression of Jia Baoyu.

It's not that Lin Lin doesn't know that Jia Min has been telling Daiyu about the Jia family's affairs. With Tongyu and Lin Sui here, Lin Lin doesn't think Daiyu will be good to Jia's house. They knew what happened to Daiyu, but Yinglian could say everything to Daiyu. For those who broke the rules, the two children were very annoying.

Jia Min asked Cui's family to prepare a carload of courtesy for Lai's family to take back.Daiyu has also seen the gift list, and now Daiyu is learning to be a housekeeper even though she is young, and Daiyu has to learn slowly when giving gifts to and from each other.

It's not that Daiyu has never seen the gift list sent to her grandfather's house before, but she just felt that this time it was much thicker than before. Seeing her mother's sleepy appearance, it was not easy to ask her mother, so she had to ask her sister-in-law Xie Ying to explain her doubts.

"This time your grandfather personally sent someone down to care for your mother. Your mother may have added an extra layer of courtesy because she cared about your grandmother. And you can go to the housekeeper to check. If there are not many records in the mansion, it should be that your mother privately Plus. This is the mother's will, not every time."

"Have I seen the gifts of those cousins?"

"They have been separated from the grandparent's house, and the things are delivered directly to your grandparent's house. If they see the extra ones, it will make your second aunt uncomfortable."

"Oh" Daiyu didn't know why the second aunt didn't like it, but she also knew that those cousins ​​were from concubines, maybe those cousins ​​were bad, so they were separated into monks.In the past six months, Daiyu has visited many friends' homes, and she has a clear understanding of the differences between the concubine and the concubine. She also sees that there are differences between her own brothers and sisters, and she has also intuitively distinguished the marriage of the two sisters. I also know the difference between my brothers.Knowing that the cousin Huan in the second aunt's house hasn't gone to school yet, I can guess that those cousins ​​will be separated out because they don't pay attention to them.Although my elder brothers were also separated, they can still study and earn a job to contribute to the family in the future.Those cousins ​​were sorted out, afraid they couldn't do anything.There are really many differences between my grandfather's family and my own, and Daiyu can't say which one is good and which one is not.
