Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn

Jia Min stopped talking and stood up hurriedly. Sure enough, she saw the maids draw up the curtains, and a group of maids and servants came in surrounded by Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang was originally wearing a filial piety dress and a mourning bun. She changed into a plain dress when she was entertaining guests, but now she has changed into another dress. The color is plain and dark, making her look more dignified and calm, and she has lost a bit of her color.

Mrs. Wang is only a few years older than Jia Min, but she looks more than ten years older.

Mother Jia was slightly displeased when she interrupted her conversation with her daughter, and said to Jia Min: "Your sister-in-law is talking back and forth, please sit down."

Jia Min had already met Mrs. Wang when he first came to Jia Mu's courtyard, and he had nothing to say about speculation. When we met again, he had nothing to say, so he just stood there, and when he heard Jia Mu's words, he apologized and returned. He sat back beside Jia Mu again.

Jia Mu turned to look at Mrs. Wang and asked, "What's the matter, come in now?"

Mrs. Wang saw that Jia Mu treated Jia Min with a pleasant face, and turned her face to be strict with herself. Unconsciously, she felt two points of dissatisfaction, and hurriedly said: "It's time to set the meal. Come and ask the old lady where it is."

Mother Jia said displeasedly: "Do you still have to ask? My aunt's food is naturally used here, and the men outside use it for themselves."

Saying that, he smiled at Jia Min: "A few days ago, I drew up a list. They are all your favorite things. After all these years, you live in Jiangnan again. I don't know if you still like to eat those."

Jia Min was moved when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Mother misses her daughter, thinking about every piece of clothing and every meal, but she is really ashamed for not being filial to her parents. Although our family is in the capital, Most of the food I eat is southern cuisine, so I haven't changed it. But after all, I grew up in the capital, so I want to eat the food in the capital."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "I remember your favorite food is sugar steamed shortbread cheese. I have asked someone to make it. Let's eat it together."

Jia Min nodded and said yes with a smile on his face.

Mrs. Wang withdrew from arranging the meal, and only Jia Mu, Yuan Chun and Jia Min who had woken up to eat were present, and Mrs. Wang was holding rice and soup for Jia Mu, and she also served Jia Min with soup, hiding her thoughts and not mentioning them. , but there is also a degree of advance and retreat.

Looking at the array of fish and meat on the table, Jia Min was startled when he saw that everyone was accustomed to it.

On the day she arrived in the capital, she called the servant woman who stayed in the capital to inquire, and learned a lot of rumors about the Rongguo Mansion. She didn't know that it was Lin Ruhai's special order, but she only knew that after Jia Daishan passed away, the entire Jia family Although they have filial clothes, they have not fulfilled their filial piety. They still have rich clothes and fine food, especially Jia She, who not only eats wine and meat, but even bought two beautiful girls.Although they acted in secret, their subordinates were open-mouthed, and they couldn't hide it from outsiders. It's just that outsiders were afraid of the power of the Jia family and dared not impeach them.

Jia Min was very worried, and she was not proud of her natal family's power. At this time, her natal family's prosperity was boundless, but no one thought that when everyone fell into trouble in the future, what they did now would be accused of crimes.

With a deep sigh in his heart, Jia Min told Qing Kong, "Tell the master that you have to study when you go back, and you are not allowed to drink."

Jia Mu said with a smile: "my aunt is so talented and learned, do you still care about a day and a half? Come back after a long time, and you and your two brothers should be intimate and intimate. You are fine, and you don't want to drink at all. Can't you eat it? Just say what I say, eat as much as you can, and send two jars of Huiquan wine over." The last sentence was said to Qingkong.

After listening to Jia Mu's words, Qing Kong pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Jia Min, not knowing what to do.

Jia Min laughed and said: "Mother is sympathetic to the master, of course it is good, but now that the two elder brothers are in the filial piety, and our master came back smelling of alcohol, it can't help but make people think that the elder brother and the second elder brother are feasting in the filial piety. It’s not good to spread the word.”

Mother Jia was startled, she was silent for a while, and said, "You are right."

Qingkong spread the word according to what Jia Min said.

In the Rongxi Hall, apart from Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng also came here admiringly as a new father, Jia Zhen. Willing to study, even though Jia Jing's wife is still around at this time, but knowing the three obediences and the four virtues, Jia Zhen can't be restrained, so he has to let him do whatever he wants.

Hearing the words from the clear sky, Jia Zhen is a junior who is not easy to speak. Jia Zheng is upright and thinks that reading is important, but Jia Amnesty doesn't care. What about wine?"

Lin Ruhai knew Jia Min's thoughts, smiled lightly, and said, "It's also meant to be considerate of the two uncles."

Jia Amnesty waved his hand and said, "Sister said hers, let's just have fun with us."

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai sighed. It was indeed a rotten wood that could not be carved. Turning his eyes, he saw that Jia Lian's face was full of disapproval, and Jia Zhu was the same, but both of them were afraid of their father's prestige and dared not speak.Lin Ruhai nodded secretly, thinking that the Li family had only taught Jia Lian for two years, yet they were so sensible and polite.

Jia Lian said: "Uncle, grandpa said that uncle has the best talent and learning. Can my nephew ask my uncle if there is something he doesn't understand in the future?"

Jia Zhu's face also showed a trace of longing, but she was not as daring as Jia Lian to speak.

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Of course, I'm also studying now."

When Jia Lian heard his promise, he immediately smiled, and then asked in confusion: "Why is uncle also studying?" What he wanted to say was that Jia Zheng was only two years older than Lin Ruhai, and he had long since stopped reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and only talked about calligraphy and painting with his disciples. , he has never seen his father pick up a book, so why is Lin Ruhai still studying poetry?

Lin Ruhai laughed, and said: "Learning is endless, not to mention that I am still young, and I think reading is the most important thing. You are young now and don't know what imperial examinations are. When you grow up tomorrow, at my age, you may be struggling at home." read."

Jia Lian seemed to understand but half understood.

However, Jia Zhu was over seven years old at the time, intelligent by nature, and carrying Jia Zheng's ardent expectations, and wanted to be born as a Kejia, so knowing Lin Ruhai's words, he looked up at Jia Zheng, saw Jia Zheng nodded, and his eyes showed approval, so he Standing up to thank him, he said, "At that time, if my nephew and Lian'er don't understand something, I will ask my uncle to give me some pointers."

Lin Ruhai nodded and agreed with a smile.

Although Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng have no skills, the two children are very good. If Jia Zhu doesn't die early and Jia Lian grows up, maybe they can really take care of Jia's family. will reduce many sins.

While chatting after dinner, Lin Ruhai gave advice on the two children's homework, and he left in the evening and sent someone to tell Jia Min.

After hearing this, Jia Min bid farewell to Jia Mu.

Jia Mu's eyes were red, and she said, "Now they are all in the capital, and they often come to see me."

Jia Min comforted her, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, I will disturb mother after our master finishes the exam, mother, don't think I'm gluttonous, and just think about the good food here."

Jia's mother burst into a smile, relieved her worries, and ordered Mrs. Wang to send Jia Min out.

Mrs. Wang agreed, and a group of girls and servants followed behind her. It seemed that Jia Min was very shabby with only two big girls and a few servants.

The Lin family has no nobles to attack, and many regulations are not as good as Rongguo Mansion. After marrying and following her husband, Jia Min is really not as good as being the daughter of the Duke of Rongguo. Madam Wang secretly wished, and said with a smile: "I am only better than my aunt. I am two years older, but my memory is not as good as it used to be after having Zhu'er and Yuan Chun, if there is something wrong with my actions today, please forgive me."

Although the words were full of apologies, they were full of pride. Jia Min couldn't help but glance at her sideways when she heard her speak.

Jia Min knew that Mrs. Wang was an innocent person, she only hid her stupidity in front of Jia Mu, she was like a wooden Bodhisattva, but she spoke fiercely in front of others, she did not hide her likes and dislikes in her heart, she just returned to Beijing today, she was like this The words are nothing more than showing off that she has sons and daughters, and she has no heirs, so she said indifferently: "Second sister-in-law has both sons and daughters, which just makes up a good word. It is the second sister-in-law's blessing. Even if her memory is not as good as before, see Seeing these two children, I also feel more comforted in my heart, besides, the second sister-in-law is thorough in handling things today, without any omissions, I feel quite at home, I am not grateful to the second sister-in-law, how can I blame the second sister-in-law?"

At this point, she smiled slightly, her eyes were filled with thousands of amorous feelings, and said: "I am not as virtuous as my second sister-in-law, nor can I compare to my second sister-in-law's blessings, so I can only live a quiet life with my master."

After all, just leave with a smile.

So what if Mrs. Wang has sons and daughters?Can it be compared to being able to get the wholeheartedness of my husband?Ten thousand taels of gold is easy to get, but it is hard to find a confidant. What kind of temperament is Jia Zheng? Jia Min knows that he will not treat Mrs. Wang like Lin Ruhai.Lin Ruhai is a man of promise, since he said he would not accept a concubine, he would keep his promise, not to mention that he is still young, and there will always be children, but it will be sooner or later.She has kept her filial piety for six years. Mrs. Wang gave birth to Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun early, so there is nothing to be proud of.

After returning home, Jia Min complained to Lin Ruhai: "Second sister-in-law is really true. It was so hard to go back to her mother's house, but she just used those words to stab people's hearts. Fortunately, mother is still here, otherwise, she would have been estranged."

A trace of coldness flashed across Lin Ruhai's face, and he said with a smile: "We live our own lives, and if we care about what others say, we won't be so peaceful."

He will never forget how Mrs. Wang treated Daiyu. He still remembers that after Daiyu's death, Xueyan guarded the spirit and babbled about the past in front of her. Only then did he know that when Daiyu first entered the capital, it seemed that Mrs. Wang gave a It's just that Daiyu never mentioned to herself the grievances she suffered in Rongguo Mansion, so he didn't know about it.

Mrs. Wang treats the little girl like this, let alone Jia Min who has long been suspicious.

Jia Min nodded and said: "After the master finishes the exam, in addition to visiting my mother in the future, I will not go to Rongguo Mansion. Although my mother is here now, the second sister-in-law is in charge of the mansion. Maybe something will happen."

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai agreed very much.

The couple visited various households one by one, and Lin Ruhai also mentioned the matter of Guo Fuxian to the elder. With a few words, Guo Fuxian was restored to his official position. .

After Guo Fuxian found out, he hurriedly came over via Shen Xue to express his thanks.

Lin Ruhai was not a young man in his 20s at first, and his views were extraordinary. When the two met, they hit it off right away.

Lin Ruhai is very conceited, with the accumulation of previous life, now he doesn't study hard, and he goes around abnormally, or keeps in touch with old friends, or makes friends with students, talks about poetry and painting, he is as comfortable as a fairy.

Jia Min also began to communicate with the female relatives of various families. In addition to the old acquaintances of the two families, there were also handkerchiefs from the boudoir. They all had children in groups. , not in a hurry, Jia Min felt a little sad after all, but fortunately Lin Ruhai often explained it, so it was a little better.

After Mrs. Wang found out, she felt even more proud.

Jia's mother was very worried, and hurriedly posted a post to ask the imperial physician to take a pulse. Lin Ruhai had no job, so she couldn't invite the imperial physician to come. When Jia Min learned that Jia Min was healthy, she sent her many supplements for recuperation.

Jia Min still had no news, and before he knew it, it was time for the imperial examination.
