Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn
Chapter 048:
After Daiyu woke up, Jia Min burst into tears of joy, but when she heard Daiyu complaining that she was hungry, Jia Min didn't dare to give her food, so she hurriedly ordered someone to boil rice soup and bring it up. Seeing that her spirit was getting better, the couple invited a doctor to take a pulse , Saying that it's okay, the two of them are relieved.
Everyone outside was waiting for news, and they heard that Daiyu was safe, and they all knew that the monk with a scarred head full of sores had some supernatural powers.
The soldiers and servants of the Lin family acted rigorously. Although they felt that this was strange, they were ordered by Lin Ruhai not to speak up. On the contrary, everyone in the family breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Daiyu was awake.Mrs. Lian quickly recited Amitabha, if anything happened to Daiyu, she would be guilty of guilt, after all, it was an accident at their house.
Liancheng was reprimanded by his mother several times, but he was also worried about Daiyu, and he didn't even want to eat his favorite snacks. Daiyu was in a coma for a few days, and he was worried for a few days. People are very distressed.
Mrs. Lian hastily ordered someone to send high-quality tonics to make up Daiyu's body, and the date was planned on the post to visit her.
At that time, Lin Ruhai was in a calm mood, but he still didn't want to leave his daughter's bed for half a step, and only let Jia Min go to rest. He couldn't forget his daughter lying on the bed silently, which reminded him of his son in his previous life who was also like this. Since then, he has been unable to sleep, and it also reminds him of the scene of his daughter dying alone in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Reincarnation of cause and effect, he is the cause, Daiyu is the result, and my family should no longer be the same as the previous life.Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai's expression softened, and he tucked up the quilt for Daiyu, even if he went against the sky, as long as his wife and children are safe and sound, he will be against it this day.
This lame-headed monk bullies the good and fears the evil, the accusation he made today is probably because he doesn't dare to think about his own family anymore.
But Jia Min said: "My master has to go to the yamen tomorrow. I'll look after Yu'er. Don't delay tomorrow's official duties." What does it mean, but she knows that the monk must not have Hua Daiyu to become a monk because of Lin Ruhai's hometown.
Lin Ruhai smiled. After eating the rice soup, Daiyu closed her eyes and slept peacefully. Lin Ruhai had put her back on the bed long ago, and sat on the chair by the bed. Hearing what Jia Min said, she got up and patted her hand, saying: " Listen to me, your eyes are blurred after all these days. Although I have business to do, I am much more energetic than you. When I am away tomorrow, you have to take care of Yuer and take a break first. , When I am tired, you will watch her."
Hearing this, Jia Min had no choice but to agree, and still looked at Daiyu once before going back to the bedroom.Fortunately, Daiyu lives in the warm pavilion of the couple's main house, and if there is any trouble, she can come here in an instant.
As for how Lin Ruhai knew that the scarlet-headed monk was coming, even though Jia Min was full of doubts, he didn't ask.
Because of Daiyu's sudden coma, Jia Min didn't care to dress up. She just changed into homely clothes and lay on the couch. She recalled Lin Ruhai's every move. It seemed that her husband knew something that she didn't know, and could always see the opportunity and change a lot. man's fate.If it weren't for Lin Ruhai at this time, I would have panicked a long time ago, how could I wait for the monk with a scarlet head.This scarlet head monk doesn't know what the origin is, why he can be seen everywhere, enlightening Yinglian, and then enlightening his own Daiyu, could it be that Master Lingtai said that Daiyu has an extraordinary origin, so he should be here?The three-life stone bank made a wish that day, and it was also the three-life stone bank. The master of Lingtai also said that it was the three-life stone bank. What is the origin of the daughter?What does it have to do with the Sansheng Stone, and it has to suffer in the world?
Jia Min Bingxue is smart, how can she not hear that Lin Ruhai said that she is a variable in both inside and outside words, and how can she face the loss of his wife and children? Could it be that Lin Ruhai has seen the future, so he seeks good luck and avoids evil, and takes precautions everywhere? Nippon?
As Lin Ruhai's wife, she has been married for more than ten years, how could she not know that when her mother-in-law died less than a hundred days ago, her husband seemed to be a different person.Although it was still him, she could tell whether it was her husband or not, but her demeanor occasionally revealed a hint of vicissitudes of life, and her actions became more tactful and sophisticated.She just felt that her husband was more considerate and gentle to her, maybe she had experienced some things she didn't know, so it was quite different from the past, and now it seemed that it was not just that.
Jia Min wanted to ask Lin Ruhai what he knew, but in the end he didn't ask, that's all, that's all, in a word, he is his own husband, and he cares about his mother and child, so why bother to ask, it just exposed the scars in his heart.
Thinking of this, Jia Min calmed down, fell asleep, and suddenly got up from the bed in a leisurely manner. There was a change in front of her eyes, and she saw Lin Zhi lying on the bed, dying. She was very anxious immediately, and Yu'er was already sick. One time, is it possible that Zhi'er will also get sick?But she didn't know that she saw herself and Lin Ruhai surrounded by the bed again, weeping bitterly, and not long after, Lin Zhi died, and overnight, she only felt that she and Lin Ruhai seemed to have aged ten years.
Is Zhier gone?Jia Min was terrified, but for some reason, he couldn't speak. He could only see that he and Lin Ruhai raised Daiyu as a man to comfort the desolation under his knees. Even so, he was still getting weaker and weaker. Although it was still his bedroom, The situation was quite different, and within two years, she left Daiyu, who was serving soup and medicine by the bed, and passed away forever.
Jia Min thought to himself: "Why didn't I see Rui'er? Where is Rui'er? Why is there only Daiyu left, but she went to Beijing again?" .
Jia Min felt that there seemed to be something in front of her that attracted her to go there. She followed Daiyu all the way into the Rongguo Mansion, walked through the corner gate, and paid homage to Jia Mu. She saw all the treatment Daiyu received. Settling in the Bisha cabinet, even though she has her father as her support, she still cannot avoid being gossiped about, and even the two palace flowers were picked out by others before being delivered to her.Jia Min's heart was pierced like a knife. How could her daughter, who was loved so much, suffer such bullying in her natal family?
Before Jia Min was overwhelmed with grief, and seeing Lin Ruhai's early death, Daiyu's situation in Rongguo Mansion became more and more miserable. , the wind, the sword, the frost, and the sword are pressing each other severely, and Yu'er's situation has reached such a point, that is her own natal family, how can this be so?How can this be?Regardless of the slightest kinship?As a result, Daiyu was destroyed by slander, she died in tears, and a ray of fragrance was cut off in the desolate and cold Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Fire came out in Jia Min's eyes, he was so mad with hatred that he was about to shed blood and tears, when suddenly he heard a loud thunderbolt, as if the sky was falling apart, Jia Min woke up from a dream, and saw the bright spring outside the window, how could it be half desolate, what he dreamed of Most of the things have been forgotten.
Suddenly seeing the nanny hugging Lin Zhi, Jia Min hurriedly ordered the nanny to step down, hugged him in his arms, and refused to let go until Lin Zhi let out a cry of pain, Jia Min loosened his arms, but still refused to let go Lin Rui.Thinking about what I saw in the dream, although I can only remember a little, the pain of losing a son or daughter is really unforgettable.
Jia Min looked down at the child looking back at her with open black eyes, with the corners of her mouth curled up, her eyes almost shed tears. She didn't know what was going on, but she always felt that if she didn't take good care of her son, this son would definitely leave her. go.
Could it be that Lin Ruhai had such a dream before, maybe he remembered more things, so he knew that the scarlet monk would come?
Jia Min sat on the bed, thinking wildly.
What dream did I have?Why don't you remember?Jia Min was full of anxiety, and hated herself for being incompetent. Others could always remember some of their dreams, but why did she dream about things related to her children, but she forgot all about them? Seeing what happened, I just remember that there seems to be a lingering resentment towards my natal family.
While pondering, Lin Ruhai walked over and said, "Are you awake? Why didn't someone come in to help you wash up?"
Jia Min raised her head and looked at her husband's sideburns. In just a few days, due to Daiyu's illness, there were a few silver strands on her sideburns. She couldn't help but feel sour, and hurriedly got up and got out of bed, saying: "The master is here, Yu Did you sleep well?"
Lin Ruhai handed a letter to her, and said softly: "You are sleeping soundly, don't worry. It is said that the mother-in-law's family sent someone to deliver a letter and come back to the New Year's ceremony. I just saw you sleeping soundly, so I didn't bring it in to wake you up. You, I've seen you, and I've already sent you down to rest." The implication was very clear, and when I heard that Jia Min woke up, I brought the letter to her to read.
When mentioning the Jia family, Jia Min suddenly showed a look of hatred but not hatred.
Seeing that she hadn't answered the letter for half a day, Lin Ruhai couldn't help being secretly surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Hearing her husband's question, Jia Min's eyes were reddened, and she sobbed, "I just had a dream. It was vague and vague. It wasn't real. I didn't remember much after waking up, but I just remembered that our daughter's life was miserable. Very. I don’t know why, but today’s letter from my natal family makes me feel that I’m not as happy as I used to be, but rather disgusted.”
After hearing what she said, Lin Ruhai walked up to her and said, "What did you dream about?"
Jia Min shook his head, a look of annoyance flashed across his face, and sighed: "It's just that I don't remember, that's why I feel weird. I'll go and see Yu'er, today I will guard Yu'er and Zhi'er, and call them siblings. Let’s just move it to one place and don’t look at them, I’m so panicked, I always feel like they’re going to leave me.”
On the one hand, he was in a hurry to go to Daiyu's room, and he couldn't even read the letter from Jia's family impatiently.
Lin Ruhai hurriedly supported her, took Lin Zhi in his arms again, and said softly: "I think it's because you think about it every day and dream about it at night, and you have been taking care of Yu'er day and night, so you dreamed of some bad things. Things. Yu'er and Zhi'er have me watching, so you can rest well, and after a few days, when you feel refreshed, you won't have these dreams."
But Jia Min said: "That's not the case. I always feel that this dream is very important and has a great relationship with us, but I don't know why I don't remember it. Master, tell me, did the sky warn me?"
She grabbed Lin Ruhai's sleeve, hesitated again and again, and finally asked, "Has the master ever had such a dream?"
Lin Ruhai's heart trembled, and he looked at Jia Min's watery eyes. For some reason, he didn't want to hide it from her, but he was the only one who knew about the future. Is the dream of Daiyu all kinds of encounters in her previous life?Otherwise, she wouldn't be like this.
Therefore, Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment, then Fang smiled and said, "Have you ever dreamed? You think too much."
Jia Min sighed, and said: "That's right, the master knows the art of face-to-face, so I don't need to dream, but I can know something about the funeral. It's just that my dream came in a strange way, and the dream was so painful that I missed it very much. understand."
Lin Ruhai comforted: "It's just a dream, and if you forget about your own family affairs for the sake of the dream, it's putting the cart before the horse."
After hearing this, Jia Min felt ashamed, took the letter in Lin Ruhai's hand with both hands, opened it and read it, and said, "There is nothing important, just that Zhu'er's daughter-in-law is happy, and Lian'er has decided to get married on April 26 next year." .”
Of course, the letter still repeats the same old tune, praising Baoyu how smart he is, and now he can recognize thousands of characters.Jia Min sneered, she would never send her daughter to Jia's family to suffer, although she forgot what she dreamed about, but she always felt that she had something to do with her mother's family.Not to mention that Baoyu is four years old now, and he can already see what the future will look like from the behavior he often hangs around in the inner circle. The mother's proposal to add a kiss.
Jia Min didn't tell Lin Ruhai these words, anyway, he usually complained quite a lot, it's useless to talk about it, so there's no need to say any more, it's better to let her know Jia Baoyu's style when raising Daiyu, and stay away from him.
After this incident, Jia Min even regarded Daiyu as an eyeball, so she was not willing to let her suffer a little bit of grievance.
Lin Ruhai saw that her expression was indifferent, and she didn't have the joy of adding a baby to Jia's family, so she knew that she was still troubled by the dream. Perhaps although she forgot the scene of the dream, she remembered the pain in the dream, so she unconsciously alienated Rong Rong. Guofu, thinking of this, Lin Ruhai secretly sighed in his heart, and he didn't know what crimes the couple had done to have such a life.Thinking of his anger when he watched Daiyu die, Lin Ruhai understood what Jia Min was thinking, even though he didn't remember it, but after all, he was a little more cautious.
Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Why is Lian'er scheduled for next year?" Jia Zhu got married last year. Although Jia Lian was two years younger than Jia Zhu, they got married this year after all.But counting the days, it was the time when Jia Lian and Sister Feng got married in the previous life.Don't marry Sister Feng in this life. Jia Lian will marry another one. Sister Feng left the cabinet early, and Jia Lian is still on that day.
Jia Minfu read the letter again and said: "The reason is never stated in the letter, only that April 26 next year is a good day."
After hearing this, Lin Ruhai didn't ask any more questions.
The next day, Jia Min's spirit gradually recovered, and she saw that Daiyu's illness came and went strangely. Although she was a little haggard because she hadn't eaten for many days, she was in good spirits after a night. She drank half a bowl of japonica rice porridge in the morning. , I ate another bun with tofu skin.Jia Min didn't want her children to step away from her eyes, so she ordered her to play in front of her.
Daiyu didn't know that she had been in a coma for several days, she just felt strange, wasn't she in Lian's peony garden before?Why did you wake up at your own home?Still hungry.When I asked Jia Min, Jia Min felt sad for a while, and coaxed her to say that she had fallen down stubbornly, then fell asleep, and then went home, so she was not at Lian's house.
Daiyu thought about it, but couldn't figure out why, and besides, facing a little fat man in Liancheng, it would be better to teach her lovely brother Yuxue to read, so she found the book she had already started to learn and read it to Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi was lying on the bed, and whenever Daiyu was studying, he danced with his hands and feet for her.
At that time, when Jia Min met the messengers of the Jia family, she didn't ask about everything as in the past. From Jia's mother to the Yuanchun three sisters, she only asked if Jia's mother was well, and the rest stopped asking. .
The person who came today was from Zhou Rui's family, seeing this, he couldn't help but secretly wonder.
In the past, it was Mother Jia who sent her confidants, or the third-class women in the mansion, but why is Zhou Rui's family here today?It turned out that Yuan Chun had already been selected into the palace as a female historian because of her filial piety and virtue, and she was serving in front of the queen. Although Mrs. Wang had an unusual relationship with Jia Min because of her admiration, she could only ask the Lin family for help when it came to matters involving her own daughter. .
Wang Ziteng's position is high and powerful now, but after all, he is not as good as Lin Ruhaijian in the emperor's heart, and the Lin family is on good terms with the Yu family. Madam Wang wants to rely on the Lin family, although it is not easy to ask her in a very abrupt way, but if she gets along with the Lin family, can Jia Min still return? Don't help the only niece?Can't you just watch your niece and niece wasting their years in the palace?So Fang sent Zhou Rui's family over.
When Jia Min saw Zhou Rui's family, for some reason, she hated her very much from the bottom of her heart. Listening to her, eight or nine of the ten sentences were compliments to her family, so she couldn't help interrupting: "What are you talking about? I've heard it before. Countless times."
Zhou Rui's face flushed slightly, and he immediately shut up.
Jia Min never liked the cunning of Zhou Rui's family, so he frowned and said, "You are coming back, but what is there to tell you in the mansion? Otherwise, we usually wait for the third wife to come, why did you send you to come in person now?" After all, Jia Min Ordinary women, although they don't like it in their hearts, as the mistress of the family, they still have to be courteous, not to mention that Zhou Rui's family is sent by her natal family.
Zhou Rui's family's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "There is nothing important to tell my aunt."
Jia Min glanced at her lightly, his face full of disbelief.
Zhou Rui's house used to be Mrs. Wang's accompanying room. Ever since Mrs. Wang married into the Rongguo Mansion, she had watched Jia Min go from waiting in the boudoir to getting engaged and leaving the court. With a smile on his face, he said: "There is one thing. My wife wants to trouble my aunt, but I don't want to say it. I'm afraid my aunt will think it's too abrupt."
Jia Min said: "Ma'am? Which wife? I have two sister-in-laws, both of whom are wives."
Zhou Rui's family regretted their slip of the tongue, and hurriedly said: "It's our wife, our wife's sister, who is the current head wife of the Xue family. Their family's business in Jinling is very big, but the old aunt has been seriously ill in the past few years, and others are a little confused. I'm deceiving each other, so my wife sent me here, begging my aunt to take care of me for the sake of the whole family."
Zhou Rui's family did not dare to tell what Mrs. Wang wanted Jia Min to plan for Yuan Chun.
Jia Min frowned, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. She hadn't forgotten that although she didn't know what she saw in her dream, she clearly remembered the dislike of Jia's and Xue's families.Originally, she didn't care about the Xue family. When she was an official in Jinling, the Xue family also sent generous gifts. Their family is an official, and the Xue family is an imperial merchant. Naturally, she only flattered their family. She didn't take it to heart, but she didn't know Where did her disgust come from, but she knew that both the Jia family and the Xue family must have done something bad.
Jia Min said slowly: "Jinling Xue's family? We are in Yangzhou, far away from Jinling. How can we take care of it?" Besides, even if we take care of it, we should also take care of the Jin family that his personal maid married to, not Mrs. Wang's sister-in-law Home.The Xue family is relatives of Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng's first room, not the Rongguo Mansion and the Lin family.
Zhou Rui's family had no choice but to laugh and said: "I heard that Yangzhou's incense powder business is very good. Mr. Xue wants to come to Yangzhou to do business, but he has someone he doesn't know, so he has to bother my aunt's house."
Jia Min pondered for a while, and then understood the reason.
Xue's family is in charge of the household department's money and food, and many things that come in come from their family. Before that, the Zhen family took care of them, and they received more errands from the household department. How can other families match the power of Xue's family? protect.Therefore, tea, cosmetics, hair oil, palace flowers, bricks and tiles, wood and stone, porcelain, silk and satin, etc., were almost all brought down by the Xue family.If we talk about rouge powder, Yangzhou is naturally the number one. The Jin family's business in Yangzhou is really making money every day.The Xue family and the Jin family are both in Jinling, so they are inevitably hostile in business. Seeing that the Jin family is not an imperial merchant, but their business is bigger than theirs, why not be jealous of the cosmetics business in Yangzhou.
Jia Min secretly sneered in his heart. With his status as an imperial businessman and a millionaire, he was able to marry the third girl of the Wang family, marry the Wang family, and be brother-in-law to the Jia family. A businessman, plagued by old illnesses, finally had a son, but he didn't think about raising him. He only said that his daughter was ten times stronger than his son. If he wanted to raise his daughter, why didn't he have the time to raise his only son?It's just that the old mother and wife dote on her very much. If she has the heart, how can she not control her?What's more, now that his mother has passed away, wouldn't Mrs. Xue Wang listen to her husband?It can be seen that he is still too spoiled and can't bear to be strict.Jia Min is absolutely unwilling to get close to such a family, Xue Pan is only seven years old and has a great reputation, who knows what kind of things he will do in the future relying on his power.
Therefore, Jia Min said indifferently: "Your wife actually flattered me. I am a housewife who only knows how to take care of housework and raise children. How can I know what kind of business? Although Yangzhou is not Jinling, after all it belongs to Jinling Province. Who doesn't know Jinling?" On the official protection talisman in the province, the first four are the four families of King Jiashi and Xue, and others are behind them, so how dare you offend them and bully their families? Doing business is based on the principle of no deception, and it will be successful if you think about it The wealth is abundant, and I don’t need to take care of it.”
Zhou Rui's family knew that Jia Min was prevaricating. Mrs. Wang often corresponded with Aunt Xue. They didn't know that the Jin family in Jinling, that is, the two brothers, Jinfeng and Jinhuang, had the care of the Lin family, and they had their current family business, which was even better than that of the Xue family. It's even stronger, I heard that what the Jin family donates to the Lin family every year is even thousands of taels of silver.
Zhou Rui's family was secretly envious of the fact that she had real power. Before she entered Yangzhou City, she heard how rich and powerful the Lin family was. Officials in Yangzhou flocked to it, and salt merchants big and small flocked to it. But it was rare to get anything. All the food and stuff were sent to the Lin family, for fear that Lin Ruhai would annoy them for a while, and then send a booklet to Emperor Xuankang.
Thinking of this, Zhou Rui's family laughed and said: "How powerful the aunt's family is, just a word, is much better than the effort of the aunt's family."
Jia Min waved her hand and said: "Don't mention this matter. Since our master has been an official, I have never been willing to use my power to bully others. Just use your own ability. When you go back, tell your wife the same." With that said, he picked up the teacup.
Seeing this, Zhou Rui's family had no choice but to resign.Walking out of Jia Min's main room, Zhou Rui's family looked back and sighed, no wonder everyone wants to be a butcher for an official, with such pomp, style, and words, you don't have to care what others think, just rely on Act according to one's own mind, and no one else dares to object.
Jia Min did not agree to take care of Xue's family, Zhou Rui's family was not worried, as Jia Min said, who would dare to bully their family?It's just that I said this today and wanted to take the opportunity to repair it with Jia Min, but Jia Min is actually the one who doesn't like oil and salt.
Zhou Rui's family lived in the Lin's house for another two days and asked many details. She first asked the servants of the Lin family, but the servants of the Lin family were very strict, so she had to leave the Lin's house and walk in the market, pretending to buy some earthen ceremonies. Gifts, ask people.Coincidentally, she met her son-in-law Leng Zixing. After meeting, Leng Zixing was very happy. Leng Zixing knew a lot about the Lin family and told his mother-in-law.
Zhou Rui's family heard that Daiyu had been seriously ill for several days, and it was on the day he arrived that he woke up, he couldn't help but sighed, and said: "I said why my aunt is lukewarm, so it turns out that she is worried about Miss Lin, so she is not as good as before. "
Leng Zixing didn't take it seriously, and asked, "Is mother-in-law planning to return to Beijing? Or should I stay for a while?"
Zhou Rui's family said: "Where can I go back to Beijing? First go to Jinling."
Leng Zixing thought of the Xue family in Jinling, and couldn't help laughing and asked: "Mother-in-law is planning to go to Xue's house? My son-in-law remembers that the wife of the Xue family is his wife's sister. Recently, Master Xue is bedridden, and his business is not as good as before."
Zhou Rui's family nodded and sighed: "No, I wanted to ask my aunt to take care of me, but my aunt didn't agree. I had to go to Jinling to pay my respects to my aunt. Besides, my wife sent me something to give to my aunt and my aunt. The brothers and sisters of the family. Calculated, the sister of the aunt's family is also six years old."
Leng Zixing said: "A strange thing happened to Xue's family recently, did mother-in-law hear about it?"
Zhou Rui's family shook their heads, who travels thousands of miles away to inquire about Jinling alone in the capital?Usually correspondence is not frequent, let alone these.
Leng Zixing was about to speak, when someone from Cui Yan's merchant came to call him, and hurriedly apologized to Zhou Rui's family, and passed away.
Zhou Rui's family didn't care about it, but they valued that the son-in-law took advantage of the Jia family's influence to communicate with various salt merchants, big and small. The antique business was doing better than before, and the daughter enjoyed happiness with her.So she waited for a long time for Leng Zixing to come back from the Cuiyan business, so she told the servant Leng Zixing left behind, went back to Lin's house, said goodbye to Jia Min, and said that she would go to Jinling.
Just before Jia Min sent off Mrs. Lian, mother and son, she asked her to bring back the gift for Jia's family, so she didn't say anything more.
Zhou Rui's family was not the only one who returned gifts and sent letters from Jia's family. There were also several third-class servants and domestic slaves. Jia Min had ordered his confidantes to inquire about her mother's affairs on the grounds of inviting them to drink for a few days in Lin's house. There is nothing left to say.Instead, Jia Min secretly became annoyed, how can such a family be reused?If the servants of his own family were so unable to withstand being probed, they would have already sent them out.Therefore, Jia Min became more and more disappointed with her natal family, and because she still felt hurt in her dream, she felt less sad about her natal family than before. Although she still missed her old mother and wrote letters of condolences, it was a different description for her brothers.
Lin Ruhai didn't care about this, he knew how the Jia family treated their daughter, and although he never said anything wrong about the Jia family in front of Jia Min, he totally agreed with Jia Min's respect for the Jia family.That kind of family, it is better to be far away than to be too close, so as not to be calculated at any time.Jia Min finally showed Lin Ruhai the words in Mother Jia's letter this time, and seeing that they were still thinking about Daiyu, how could Lin Ruhai not be angry.
After Zhou Rui's family left, Jia Min said to Lin Ruhai, "I don't know why, but I always find this person very annoying, so I finally left."
Lin Ruhai didn't want to keep getting entangled in this matter, so he said in a different way: "It will be summer in a month, and Rui'er is studying in Gusu, so you can make some more summer clothes for him and send them to him. This time, Yu'er is seriously ill , we sent someone to Gusu to ask Master Lingtai. It happened that Mrs. Yu often went to Panxiang Temple to pay respects to the Buddha, and she found out that Yu'er was seriously ill. It is inevitable that Mr. Yu also knows, and he must not be able to hide it from Ruier."
Jia Min laughed and said: "I still use the master to say that I sent people to deliver things yesterday, as well as a return gift for Yu's family. I ordered people to make two sets of clothes for Brother Heng overnight, and told them that Yu'er Safety."
Lin Rui learned from Yu Heng that his sister was unconscious. Even though Master Lingtai said she was safe, she was still very worried. Until Jia Min sent someone to send the news, and after hearing that Daiyu was awake, he and Mrs. Yu's grandfather and grandson brought her back together. Take it easy.
Yu Heng said: "What is the origin of that scarlet monk? Why does he want Sister Hualin to become a monk?"
Lin Rui pondered for a while, then asked the person carefully, but the person who came was playing with a zither. After thinking about it with a zither, he said what he could say, but didn't say a word about what he couldn't say, and said: "It's strange to say, I just listen to the master. My wife said that the monk wanted to turn a girl into a monk, and I don’t know anything else, but I heard from my wife once that the monk was severely scolded by the master, and then left in despair.” As for the skinny monk who shrank and became Lin Ruhai's supernatural powers had been instructed by Lin Ruhai long ago, and he never revealed them at all.
Yu Heng sneered and said: "If I were here, I would definitely beat him out with a stick. Where did these crazy words come from. Master Lin and Mrs. Lin are too soft-hearted after all." Good girl, what are you doing as a monk?Is it impossible to learn from Miaoyu?Yu Heng often went in and out of Panxiang Temple with Mrs. Yu, and met Miaoyu many times. He never liked her arrogance. Su Li was valued by the crown prince, Yu Heng didn't want to pay attention to her at all.
Mrs. Yu believed in gods and Buddhas the most, and scolded: "What do you know? A real person doesn't show his face, and a real person doesn't show his face, maybe he is really a high-ranking person. Otherwise, why would that child Yu'er wake up every time he comes and goes? Is it? I would rather respect this, and don't talk about it, and carefully provoke the trouble of talking."
After hearing this, Yu Heng had to shut up.He has a good relationship with Lin Rui, and he loves this little sister very much. During the year of studying, he also went back to Yangzhou with Lin Rui, and brought countless things to Daiyu every time. Daiyu is not stingy, what is there? The delicious and naughty ones are often held in front of them, and they are invited to eat naughty together with a smile.
Yu Heng couldn't help but said to Lin Rui: "I heard that my sister doesn't like folding flowers, and we are far away, but she likes us and it's not easy to give them away. I have studied Danqing for a few years, and I am also proficient in fine brushwork. Why don't we draw some common flowers? Give the scenery to my sister."
When Lin Rui heard this, he clapped his hands and smiled, "Why didn't I think of that? It really is downright pedantic."
Lin Rui is also quite proficient in this. He is slightly older than Yu Heng and has a deeper foundation. Together, the two of them took advantage of their spare time to visit various scenic spots in Suzhou, drawing them one by one, and painted many meticulous flowers, grasses and insects. It was sent to Yangzhou so that Daiyu could see all the wonders of Gusu even though she would not go to Gusu in the future.
Seeing such thoughts, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min praised them very much. They said that they thought carefully and ordered someone to paper it carefully. Fang showed it to Daiyu, and they were really happy. They picked a picture of hibiscus coming out of water and hung it on the wall. Day appreciation.
Governor Lian has been promoted and stayed in Beijing. Mrs. Lian took Liancheng away to reunite with her in Chang'an City. When he came to say goodbye to Lin's house, Liancheng saw the meticulous painting hanging in Daiyu's room, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Daiyu solemnly. Yudao: "Sister Lin, my mother's paintings of peonies are very good, and I will do it in the future. I will draw many paintings for you in the future, not only painting peonies, but also spring willows. I also want to learn how to draw pictures of ladies." , don’t pinch flowers and break willows to make you angry, you can enjoy flowers from paintings.”
Daiyu pursed her lips into a smile, brushed her fingers across her cheeks, and said, "It's not ashamed to pick up people's teeth!"
Liancheng, on the other hand, was open-minded and didn't care. He said straightforwardly: "As long as my sister can see it, how about learning from others? Don't worry, sister, I will definitely draw better than the person who gave you this painting. Then you just hang up Don’t hang up my paintings, his.”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, but when they mentioned parting, they were sad.
Mrs. Lian persuaded Jia Min softly: "We can always meet again. By then, I want to come to Cheng'er to learn a good painting, and maybe I can speak good words to please Yu'er. Neighbor, even if you and I are far away from each other, and remember each other's love in our hearts, it's no different from seeing each other every day."
Jia Min had no choice but to bid farewell, and sent her to Beijing with Liancheng on board.
After Mrs. Lian's mother and son came to Beijing, Jia Min felt quite sad, but seeing the pair of children, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows and smiling.
But Zhou Rui's family was delayed for a long time on the way. He arrived in Jinling in April and went to Xue's house to pay his respects. When talking about Mrs. Wang's entrustment to Jia Min, it was inevitable that he would be a little jealous.
Aunt Xue was always on good terms with Mrs. Wang, she frowned when she heard this, she only took letters and things, and ordered her to go down to rest.
Master Xue came on crutches and asked, "What? What did you say?"
While opening the letter, Aunt Xue said: "My master is not resting, what are you doing here? Don't be tired."
Master Xue sat on the chair and said with a smile: "Where are you so weak that you can't afford to be sick? Every day I eat ginseng and cinnamon, and the doctor said that it is much better than before. It's Bao girl's medicine that can be prepared. ? I watched Bao girl coughing so badly every day that she almost coughed up her heart, and my heart ached in panic."
Aunt Xue was also a little annoyed at the mention of the poisonous heat brought by her daughter from the womb. Although a monk gave her medicine Yinzi and prescriptions, the medicine Yinzi also had a strange smell, and she felt comfortable after smelling it, but the medicine prescriptions were really good. It's a bit weird, and for a while, I didn't deserve it, so I had to say: "It has already attracted people's attention, but it's different, and the others may be done in another year."
Master Xue nodded, and asked again: "Did Bao girl's golden lock be locked?"
Aunt Xue had already read Mrs. Wang's letter, and there was nothing important about it, it was nothing more than household chores, she said: "It's done, never leave, never leave, forever, this sentence is engraved on it, and it has been worn by Bao Yatou." Monk Zhenzhen has some origins and I don’t know, but it’s a pair with Baoyu’s psychic jade.”
Master Xue was stunned, and suddenly remembered that he had heard that the psychic jade had a very strange origin, and there were many writings on it, but he didn't know how the child was born with the jade in his mouth, it seemed that it was indeed a pair with the painting on the golden lock.
Aunt Xue remembered Mrs. Wang's repeated mention of the second treasure, and couldn't help but said: "Maybe it's a marriage. The monk said that the golden lock can only be matched with jade. My sister's treasure is jade, and our treasure girl If you have gold and a monk like that, isn’t it a good match from heaven? What do you think, master? My sister’s family status is excellent, and Baoyu is favored by the old lady. In the future, the family business will be Baoyu’s. The door, my sister will definitely not treat her harshly, and she can also help Pan'er."
Master Xue frowned and said: "If you say that the family is rich and honored, it is naturally excellent. What's more, if there is a monk, it's just that their old lady loves Baoyu so much, can she agree to make this marriage early?"
Aunt Xue said: "The order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, the old matriarch is separated by a layer."
Master Xue thought about it for a long time, and then said suspiciously: "Bao girl is only six years old this year, and Baoyu is only four years old, so why did she mention marriage? Bao girl was born well, and she is very intelligent, maybe her fate is not because of this. Woolen cloth."
Everyone outside was waiting for news, and they heard that Daiyu was safe, and they all knew that the monk with a scarred head full of sores had some supernatural powers.
The soldiers and servants of the Lin family acted rigorously. Although they felt that this was strange, they were ordered by Lin Ruhai not to speak up. On the contrary, everyone in the family breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Daiyu was awake.Mrs. Lian quickly recited Amitabha, if anything happened to Daiyu, she would be guilty of guilt, after all, it was an accident at their house.
Liancheng was reprimanded by his mother several times, but he was also worried about Daiyu, and he didn't even want to eat his favorite snacks. Daiyu was in a coma for a few days, and he was worried for a few days. People are very distressed.
Mrs. Lian hastily ordered someone to send high-quality tonics to make up Daiyu's body, and the date was planned on the post to visit her.
At that time, Lin Ruhai was in a calm mood, but he still didn't want to leave his daughter's bed for half a step, and only let Jia Min go to rest. He couldn't forget his daughter lying on the bed silently, which reminded him of his son in his previous life who was also like this. Since then, he has been unable to sleep, and it also reminds him of the scene of his daughter dying alone in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Reincarnation of cause and effect, he is the cause, Daiyu is the result, and my family should no longer be the same as the previous life.Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai's expression softened, and he tucked up the quilt for Daiyu, even if he went against the sky, as long as his wife and children are safe and sound, he will be against it this day.
This lame-headed monk bullies the good and fears the evil, the accusation he made today is probably because he doesn't dare to think about his own family anymore.
But Jia Min said: "My master has to go to the yamen tomorrow. I'll look after Yu'er. Don't delay tomorrow's official duties." What does it mean, but she knows that the monk must not have Hua Daiyu to become a monk because of Lin Ruhai's hometown.
Lin Ruhai smiled. After eating the rice soup, Daiyu closed her eyes and slept peacefully. Lin Ruhai had put her back on the bed long ago, and sat on the chair by the bed. Hearing what Jia Min said, she got up and patted her hand, saying: " Listen to me, your eyes are blurred after all these days. Although I have business to do, I am much more energetic than you. When I am away tomorrow, you have to take care of Yuer and take a break first. , When I am tired, you will watch her."
Hearing this, Jia Min had no choice but to agree, and still looked at Daiyu once before going back to the bedroom.Fortunately, Daiyu lives in the warm pavilion of the couple's main house, and if there is any trouble, she can come here in an instant.
As for how Lin Ruhai knew that the scarlet-headed monk was coming, even though Jia Min was full of doubts, he didn't ask.
Because of Daiyu's sudden coma, Jia Min didn't care to dress up. She just changed into homely clothes and lay on the couch. She recalled Lin Ruhai's every move. It seemed that her husband knew something that she didn't know, and could always see the opportunity and change a lot. man's fate.If it weren't for Lin Ruhai at this time, I would have panicked a long time ago, how could I wait for the monk with a scarlet head.This scarlet head monk doesn't know what the origin is, why he can be seen everywhere, enlightening Yinglian, and then enlightening his own Daiyu, could it be that Master Lingtai said that Daiyu has an extraordinary origin, so he should be here?The three-life stone bank made a wish that day, and it was also the three-life stone bank. The master of Lingtai also said that it was the three-life stone bank. What is the origin of the daughter?What does it have to do with the Sansheng Stone, and it has to suffer in the world?
Jia Min Bingxue is smart, how can she not hear that Lin Ruhai said that she is a variable in both inside and outside words, and how can she face the loss of his wife and children? Could it be that Lin Ruhai has seen the future, so he seeks good luck and avoids evil, and takes precautions everywhere? Nippon?
As Lin Ruhai's wife, she has been married for more than ten years, how could she not know that when her mother-in-law died less than a hundred days ago, her husband seemed to be a different person.Although it was still him, she could tell whether it was her husband or not, but her demeanor occasionally revealed a hint of vicissitudes of life, and her actions became more tactful and sophisticated.She just felt that her husband was more considerate and gentle to her, maybe she had experienced some things she didn't know, so it was quite different from the past, and now it seemed that it was not just that.
Jia Min wanted to ask Lin Ruhai what he knew, but in the end he didn't ask, that's all, that's all, in a word, he is his own husband, and he cares about his mother and child, so why bother to ask, it just exposed the scars in his heart.
Thinking of this, Jia Min calmed down, fell asleep, and suddenly got up from the bed in a leisurely manner. There was a change in front of her eyes, and she saw Lin Zhi lying on the bed, dying. She was very anxious immediately, and Yu'er was already sick. One time, is it possible that Zhi'er will also get sick?But she didn't know that she saw herself and Lin Ruhai surrounded by the bed again, weeping bitterly, and not long after, Lin Zhi died, and overnight, she only felt that she and Lin Ruhai seemed to have aged ten years.
Is Zhier gone?Jia Min was terrified, but for some reason, he couldn't speak. He could only see that he and Lin Ruhai raised Daiyu as a man to comfort the desolation under his knees. Even so, he was still getting weaker and weaker. Although it was still his bedroom, The situation was quite different, and within two years, she left Daiyu, who was serving soup and medicine by the bed, and passed away forever.
Jia Min thought to himself: "Why didn't I see Rui'er? Where is Rui'er? Why is there only Daiyu left, but she went to Beijing again?" .
Jia Min felt that there seemed to be something in front of her that attracted her to go there. She followed Daiyu all the way into the Rongguo Mansion, walked through the corner gate, and paid homage to Jia Mu. She saw all the treatment Daiyu received. Settling in the Bisha cabinet, even though she has her father as her support, she still cannot avoid being gossiped about, and even the two palace flowers were picked out by others before being delivered to her.Jia Min's heart was pierced like a knife. How could her daughter, who was loved so much, suffer such bullying in her natal family?
Before Jia Min was overwhelmed with grief, and seeing Lin Ruhai's early death, Daiyu's situation in Rongguo Mansion became more and more miserable. , the wind, the sword, the frost, and the sword are pressing each other severely, and Yu'er's situation has reached such a point, that is her own natal family, how can this be so?How can this be?Regardless of the slightest kinship?As a result, Daiyu was destroyed by slander, she died in tears, and a ray of fragrance was cut off in the desolate and cold Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Fire came out in Jia Min's eyes, he was so mad with hatred that he was about to shed blood and tears, when suddenly he heard a loud thunderbolt, as if the sky was falling apart, Jia Min woke up from a dream, and saw the bright spring outside the window, how could it be half desolate, what he dreamed of Most of the things have been forgotten.
Suddenly seeing the nanny hugging Lin Zhi, Jia Min hurriedly ordered the nanny to step down, hugged him in his arms, and refused to let go until Lin Zhi let out a cry of pain, Jia Min loosened his arms, but still refused to let go Lin Rui.Thinking about what I saw in the dream, although I can only remember a little, the pain of losing a son or daughter is really unforgettable.
Jia Min looked down at the child looking back at her with open black eyes, with the corners of her mouth curled up, her eyes almost shed tears. She didn't know what was going on, but she always felt that if she didn't take good care of her son, this son would definitely leave her. go.
Could it be that Lin Ruhai had such a dream before, maybe he remembered more things, so he knew that the scarlet monk would come?
Jia Min sat on the bed, thinking wildly.
What dream did I have?Why don't you remember?Jia Min was full of anxiety, and hated herself for being incompetent. Others could always remember some of their dreams, but why did she dream about things related to her children, but she forgot all about them? Seeing what happened, I just remember that there seems to be a lingering resentment towards my natal family.
While pondering, Lin Ruhai walked over and said, "Are you awake? Why didn't someone come in to help you wash up?"
Jia Min raised her head and looked at her husband's sideburns. In just a few days, due to Daiyu's illness, there were a few silver strands on her sideburns. She couldn't help but feel sour, and hurriedly got up and got out of bed, saying: "The master is here, Yu Did you sleep well?"
Lin Ruhai handed a letter to her, and said softly: "You are sleeping soundly, don't worry. It is said that the mother-in-law's family sent someone to deliver a letter and come back to the New Year's ceremony. I just saw you sleeping soundly, so I didn't bring it in to wake you up. You, I've seen you, and I've already sent you down to rest." The implication was very clear, and when I heard that Jia Min woke up, I brought the letter to her to read.
When mentioning the Jia family, Jia Min suddenly showed a look of hatred but not hatred.
Seeing that she hadn't answered the letter for half a day, Lin Ruhai couldn't help being secretly surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Hearing her husband's question, Jia Min's eyes were reddened, and she sobbed, "I just had a dream. It was vague and vague. It wasn't real. I didn't remember much after waking up, but I just remembered that our daughter's life was miserable. Very. I don’t know why, but today’s letter from my natal family makes me feel that I’m not as happy as I used to be, but rather disgusted.”
After hearing what she said, Lin Ruhai walked up to her and said, "What did you dream about?"
Jia Min shook his head, a look of annoyance flashed across his face, and sighed: "It's just that I don't remember, that's why I feel weird. I'll go and see Yu'er, today I will guard Yu'er and Zhi'er, and call them siblings. Let’s just move it to one place and don’t look at them, I’m so panicked, I always feel like they’re going to leave me.”
On the one hand, he was in a hurry to go to Daiyu's room, and he couldn't even read the letter from Jia's family impatiently.
Lin Ruhai hurriedly supported her, took Lin Zhi in his arms again, and said softly: "I think it's because you think about it every day and dream about it at night, and you have been taking care of Yu'er day and night, so you dreamed of some bad things. Things. Yu'er and Zhi'er have me watching, so you can rest well, and after a few days, when you feel refreshed, you won't have these dreams."
But Jia Min said: "That's not the case. I always feel that this dream is very important and has a great relationship with us, but I don't know why I don't remember it. Master, tell me, did the sky warn me?"
She grabbed Lin Ruhai's sleeve, hesitated again and again, and finally asked, "Has the master ever had such a dream?"
Lin Ruhai's heart trembled, and he looked at Jia Min's watery eyes. For some reason, he didn't want to hide it from her, but he was the only one who knew about the future. Is the dream of Daiyu all kinds of encounters in her previous life?Otherwise, she wouldn't be like this.
Therefore, Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment, then Fang smiled and said, "Have you ever dreamed? You think too much."
Jia Min sighed, and said: "That's right, the master knows the art of face-to-face, so I don't need to dream, but I can know something about the funeral. It's just that my dream came in a strange way, and the dream was so painful that I missed it very much. understand."
Lin Ruhai comforted: "It's just a dream, and if you forget about your own family affairs for the sake of the dream, it's putting the cart before the horse."
After hearing this, Jia Min felt ashamed, took the letter in Lin Ruhai's hand with both hands, opened it and read it, and said, "There is nothing important, just that Zhu'er's daughter-in-law is happy, and Lian'er has decided to get married on April 26 next year." .”
Of course, the letter still repeats the same old tune, praising Baoyu how smart he is, and now he can recognize thousands of characters.Jia Min sneered, she would never send her daughter to Jia's family to suffer, although she forgot what she dreamed about, but she always felt that she had something to do with her mother's family.Not to mention that Baoyu is four years old now, and he can already see what the future will look like from the behavior he often hangs around in the inner circle. The mother's proposal to add a kiss.
Jia Min didn't tell Lin Ruhai these words, anyway, he usually complained quite a lot, it's useless to talk about it, so there's no need to say any more, it's better to let her know Jia Baoyu's style when raising Daiyu, and stay away from him.
After this incident, Jia Min even regarded Daiyu as an eyeball, so she was not willing to let her suffer a little bit of grievance.
Lin Ruhai saw that her expression was indifferent, and she didn't have the joy of adding a baby to Jia's family, so she knew that she was still troubled by the dream. Perhaps although she forgot the scene of the dream, she remembered the pain in the dream, so she unconsciously alienated Rong Rong. Guofu, thinking of this, Lin Ruhai secretly sighed in his heart, and he didn't know what crimes the couple had done to have such a life.Thinking of his anger when he watched Daiyu die, Lin Ruhai understood what Jia Min was thinking, even though he didn't remember it, but after all, he was a little more cautious.
Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Why is Lian'er scheduled for next year?" Jia Zhu got married last year. Although Jia Lian was two years younger than Jia Zhu, they got married this year after all.But counting the days, it was the time when Jia Lian and Sister Feng got married in the previous life.Don't marry Sister Feng in this life. Jia Lian will marry another one. Sister Feng left the cabinet early, and Jia Lian is still on that day.
Jia Minfu read the letter again and said: "The reason is never stated in the letter, only that April 26 next year is a good day."
After hearing this, Lin Ruhai didn't ask any more questions.
The next day, Jia Min's spirit gradually recovered, and she saw that Daiyu's illness came and went strangely. Although she was a little haggard because she hadn't eaten for many days, she was in good spirits after a night. She drank half a bowl of japonica rice porridge in the morning. , I ate another bun with tofu skin.Jia Min didn't want her children to step away from her eyes, so she ordered her to play in front of her.
Daiyu didn't know that she had been in a coma for several days, she just felt strange, wasn't she in Lian's peony garden before?Why did you wake up at your own home?Still hungry.When I asked Jia Min, Jia Min felt sad for a while, and coaxed her to say that she had fallen down stubbornly, then fell asleep, and then went home, so she was not at Lian's house.
Daiyu thought about it, but couldn't figure out why, and besides, facing a little fat man in Liancheng, it would be better to teach her lovely brother Yuxue to read, so she found the book she had already started to learn and read it to Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi was lying on the bed, and whenever Daiyu was studying, he danced with his hands and feet for her.
At that time, when Jia Min met the messengers of the Jia family, she didn't ask about everything as in the past. From Jia's mother to the Yuanchun three sisters, she only asked if Jia's mother was well, and the rest stopped asking. .
The person who came today was from Zhou Rui's family, seeing this, he couldn't help but secretly wonder.
In the past, it was Mother Jia who sent her confidants, or the third-class women in the mansion, but why is Zhou Rui's family here today?It turned out that Yuan Chun had already been selected into the palace as a female historian because of her filial piety and virtue, and she was serving in front of the queen. Although Mrs. Wang had an unusual relationship with Jia Min because of her admiration, she could only ask the Lin family for help when it came to matters involving her own daughter. .
Wang Ziteng's position is high and powerful now, but after all, he is not as good as Lin Ruhaijian in the emperor's heart, and the Lin family is on good terms with the Yu family. Madam Wang wants to rely on the Lin family, although it is not easy to ask her in a very abrupt way, but if she gets along with the Lin family, can Jia Min still return? Don't help the only niece?Can't you just watch your niece and niece wasting their years in the palace?So Fang sent Zhou Rui's family over.
When Jia Min saw Zhou Rui's family, for some reason, she hated her very much from the bottom of her heart. Listening to her, eight or nine of the ten sentences were compliments to her family, so she couldn't help interrupting: "What are you talking about? I've heard it before. Countless times."
Zhou Rui's face flushed slightly, and he immediately shut up.
Jia Min never liked the cunning of Zhou Rui's family, so he frowned and said, "You are coming back, but what is there to tell you in the mansion? Otherwise, we usually wait for the third wife to come, why did you send you to come in person now?" After all, Jia Min Ordinary women, although they don't like it in their hearts, as the mistress of the family, they still have to be courteous, not to mention that Zhou Rui's family is sent by her natal family.
Zhou Rui's family's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "There is nothing important to tell my aunt."
Jia Min glanced at her lightly, his face full of disbelief.
Zhou Rui's house used to be Mrs. Wang's accompanying room. Ever since Mrs. Wang married into the Rongguo Mansion, she had watched Jia Min go from waiting in the boudoir to getting engaged and leaving the court. With a smile on his face, he said: "There is one thing. My wife wants to trouble my aunt, but I don't want to say it. I'm afraid my aunt will think it's too abrupt."
Jia Min said: "Ma'am? Which wife? I have two sister-in-laws, both of whom are wives."
Zhou Rui's family regretted their slip of the tongue, and hurriedly said: "It's our wife, our wife's sister, who is the current head wife of the Xue family. Their family's business in Jinling is very big, but the old aunt has been seriously ill in the past few years, and others are a little confused. I'm deceiving each other, so my wife sent me here, begging my aunt to take care of me for the sake of the whole family."
Zhou Rui's family did not dare to tell what Mrs. Wang wanted Jia Min to plan for Yuan Chun.
Jia Min frowned, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. She hadn't forgotten that although she didn't know what she saw in her dream, she clearly remembered the dislike of Jia's and Xue's families.Originally, she didn't care about the Xue family. When she was an official in Jinling, the Xue family also sent generous gifts. Their family is an official, and the Xue family is an imperial merchant. Naturally, she only flattered their family. She didn't take it to heart, but she didn't know Where did her disgust come from, but she knew that both the Jia family and the Xue family must have done something bad.
Jia Min said slowly: "Jinling Xue's family? We are in Yangzhou, far away from Jinling. How can we take care of it?" Besides, even if we take care of it, we should also take care of the Jin family that his personal maid married to, not Mrs. Wang's sister-in-law Home.The Xue family is relatives of Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng's first room, not the Rongguo Mansion and the Lin family.
Zhou Rui's family had no choice but to laugh and said: "I heard that Yangzhou's incense powder business is very good. Mr. Xue wants to come to Yangzhou to do business, but he has someone he doesn't know, so he has to bother my aunt's house."
Jia Min pondered for a while, and then understood the reason.
Xue's family is in charge of the household department's money and food, and many things that come in come from their family. Before that, the Zhen family took care of them, and they received more errands from the household department. How can other families match the power of Xue's family? protect.Therefore, tea, cosmetics, hair oil, palace flowers, bricks and tiles, wood and stone, porcelain, silk and satin, etc., were almost all brought down by the Xue family.If we talk about rouge powder, Yangzhou is naturally the number one. The Jin family's business in Yangzhou is really making money every day.The Xue family and the Jin family are both in Jinling, so they are inevitably hostile in business. Seeing that the Jin family is not an imperial merchant, but their business is bigger than theirs, why not be jealous of the cosmetics business in Yangzhou.
Jia Min secretly sneered in his heart. With his status as an imperial businessman and a millionaire, he was able to marry the third girl of the Wang family, marry the Wang family, and be brother-in-law to the Jia family. A businessman, plagued by old illnesses, finally had a son, but he didn't think about raising him. He only said that his daughter was ten times stronger than his son. If he wanted to raise his daughter, why didn't he have the time to raise his only son?It's just that the old mother and wife dote on her very much. If she has the heart, how can she not control her?What's more, now that his mother has passed away, wouldn't Mrs. Xue Wang listen to her husband?It can be seen that he is still too spoiled and can't bear to be strict.Jia Min is absolutely unwilling to get close to such a family, Xue Pan is only seven years old and has a great reputation, who knows what kind of things he will do in the future relying on his power.
Therefore, Jia Min said indifferently: "Your wife actually flattered me. I am a housewife who only knows how to take care of housework and raise children. How can I know what kind of business? Although Yangzhou is not Jinling, after all it belongs to Jinling Province. Who doesn't know Jinling?" On the official protection talisman in the province, the first four are the four families of King Jiashi and Xue, and others are behind them, so how dare you offend them and bully their families? Doing business is based on the principle of no deception, and it will be successful if you think about it The wealth is abundant, and I don’t need to take care of it.”
Zhou Rui's family knew that Jia Min was prevaricating. Mrs. Wang often corresponded with Aunt Xue. They didn't know that the Jin family in Jinling, that is, the two brothers, Jinfeng and Jinhuang, had the care of the Lin family, and they had their current family business, which was even better than that of the Xue family. It's even stronger, I heard that what the Jin family donates to the Lin family every year is even thousands of taels of silver.
Zhou Rui's family was secretly envious of the fact that she had real power. Before she entered Yangzhou City, she heard how rich and powerful the Lin family was. Officials in Yangzhou flocked to it, and salt merchants big and small flocked to it. But it was rare to get anything. All the food and stuff were sent to the Lin family, for fear that Lin Ruhai would annoy them for a while, and then send a booklet to Emperor Xuankang.
Thinking of this, Zhou Rui's family laughed and said: "How powerful the aunt's family is, just a word, is much better than the effort of the aunt's family."
Jia Min waved her hand and said: "Don't mention this matter. Since our master has been an official, I have never been willing to use my power to bully others. Just use your own ability. When you go back, tell your wife the same." With that said, he picked up the teacup.
Seeing this, Zhou Rui's family had no choice but to resign.Walking out of Jia Min's main room, Zhou Rui's family looked back and sighed, no wonder everyone wants to be a butcher for an official, with such pomp, style, and words, you don't have to care what others think, just rely on Act according to one's own mind, and no one else dares to object.
Jia Min did not agree to take care of Xue's family, Zhou Rui's family was not worried, as Jia Min said, who would dare to bully their family?It's just that I said this today and wanted to take the opportunity to repair it with Jia Min, but Jia Min is actually the one who doesn't like oil and salt.
Zhou Rui's family lived in the Lin's house for another two days and asked many details. She first asked the servants of the Lin family, but the servants of the Lin family were very strict, so she had to leave the Lin's house and walk in the market, pretending to buy some earthen ceremonies. Gifts, ask people.Coincidentally, she met her son-in-law Leng Zixing. After meeting, Leng Zixing was very happy. Leng Zixing knew a lot about the Lin family and told his mother-in-law.
Zhou Rui's family heard that Daiyu had been seriously ill for several days, and it was on the day he arrived that he woke up, he couldn't help but sighed, and said: "I said why my aunt is lukewarm, so it turns out that she is worried about Miss Lin, so she is not as good as before. "
Leng Zixing didn't take it seriously, and asked, "Is mother-in-law planning to return to Beijing? Or should I stay for a while?"
Zhou Rui's family said: "Where can I go back to Beijing? First go to Jinling."
Leng Zixing thought of the Xue family in Jinling, and couldn't help laughing and asked: "Mother-in-law is planning to go to Xue's house? My son-in-law remembers that the wife of the Xue family is his wife's sister. Recently, Master Xue is bedridden, and his business is not as good as before."
Zhou Rui's family nodded and sighed: "No, I wanted to ask my aunt to take care of me, but my aunt didn't agree. I had to go to Jinling to pay my respects to my aunt. Besides, my wife sent me something to give to my aunt and my aunt. The brothers and sisters of the family. Calculated, the sister of the aunt's family is also six years old."
Leng Zixing said: "A strange thing happened to Xue's family recently, did mother-in-law hear about it?"
Zhou Rui's family shook their heads, who travels thousands of miles away to inquire about Jinling alone in the capital?Usually correspondence is not frequent, let alone these.
Leng Zixing was about to speak, when someone from Cui Yan's merchant came to call him, and hurriedly apologized to Zhou Rui's family, and passed away.
Zhou Rui's family didn't care about it, but they valued that the son-in-law took advantage of the Jia family's influence to communicate with various salt merchants, big and small. The antique business was doing better than before, and the daughter enjoyed happiness with her.So she waited for a long time for Leng Zixing to come back from the Cuiyan business, so she told the servant Leng Zixing left behind, went back to Lin's house, said goodbye to Jia Min, and said that she would go to Jinling.
Just before Jia Min sent off Mrs. Lian, mother and son, she asked her to bring back the gift for Jia's family, so she didn't say anything more.
Zhou Rui's family was not the only one who returned gifts and sent letters from Jia's family. There were also several third-class servants and domestic slaves. Jia Min had ordered his confidantes to inquire about her mother's affairs on the grounds of inviting them to drink for a few days in Lin's house. There is nothing left to say.Instead, Jia Min secretly became annoyed, how can such a family be reused?If the servants of his own family were so unable to withstand being probed, they would have already sent them out.Therefore, Jia Min became more and more disappointed with her natal family, and because she still felt hurt in her dream, she felt less sad about her natal family than before. Although she still missed her old mother and wrote letters of condolences, it was a different description for her brothers.
Lin Ruhai didn't care about this, he knew how the Jia family treated their daughter, and although he never said anything wrong about the Jia family in front of Jia Min, he totally agreed with Jia Min's respect for the Jia family.That kind of family, it is better to be far away than to be too close, so as not to be calculated at any time.Jia Min finally showed Lin Ruhai the words in Mother Jia's letter this time, and seeing that they were still thinking about Daiyu, how could Lin Ruhai not be angry.
After Zhou Rui's family left, Jia Min said to Lin Ruhai, "I don't know why, but I always find this person very annoying, so I finally left."
Lin Ruhai didn't want to keep getting entangled in this matter, so he said in a different way: "It will be summer in a month, and Rui'er is studying in Gusu, so you can make some more summer clothes for him and send them to him. This time, Yu'er is seriously ill , we sent someone to Gusu to ask Master Lingtai. It happened that Mrs. Yu often went to Panxiang Temple to pay respects to the Buddha, and she found out that Yu'er was seriously ill. It is inevitable that Mr. Yu also knows, and he must not be able to hide it from Ruier."
Jia Min laughed and said: "I still use the master to say that I sent people to deliver things yesterday, as well as a return gift for Yu's family. I ordered people to make two sets of clothes for Brother Heng overnight, and told them that Yu'er Safety."
Lin Rui learned from Yu Heng that his sister was unconscious. Even though Master Lingtai said she was safe, she was still very worried. Until Jia Min sent someone to send the news, and after hearing that Daiyu was awake, he and Mrs. Yu's grandfather and grandson brought her back together. Take it easy.
Yu Heng said: "What is the origin of that scarlet monk? Why does he want Sister Hualin to become a monk?"
Lin Rui pondered for a while, then asked the person carefully, but the person who came was playing with a zither. After thinking about it with a zither, he said what he could say, but didn't say a word about what he couldn't say, and said: "It's strange to say, I just listen to the master. My wife said that the monk wanted to turn a girl into a monk, and I don’t know anything else, but I heard from my wife once that the monk was severely scolded by the master, and then left in despair.” As for the skinny monk who shrank and became Lin Ruhai's supernatural powers had been instructed by Lin Ruhai long ago, and he never revealed them at all.
Yu Heng sneered and said: "If I were here, I would definitely beat him out with a stick. Where did these crazy words come from. Master Lin and Mrs. Lin are too soft-hearted after all." Good girl, what are you doing as a monk?Is it impossible to learn from Miaoyu?Yu Heng often went in and out of Panxiang Temple with Mrs. Yu, and met Miaoyu many times. He never liked her arrogance. Su Li was valued by the crown prince, Yu Heng didn't want to pay attention to her at all.
Mrs. Yu believed in gods and Buddhas the most, and scolded: "What do you know? A real person doesn't show his face, and a real person doesn't show his face, maybe he is really a high-ranking person. Otherwise, why would that child Yu'er wake up every time he comes and goes? Is it? I would rather respect this, and don't talk about it, and carefully provoke the trouble of talking."
After hearing this, Yu Heng had to shut up.He has a good relationship with Lin Rui, and he loves this little sister very much. During the year of studying, he also went back to Yangzhou with Lin Rui, and brought countless things to Daiyu every time. Daiyu is not stingy, what is there? The delicious and naughty ones are often held in front of them, and they are invited to eat naughty together with a smile.
Yu Heng couldn't help but said to Lin Rui: "I heard that my sister doesn't like folding flowers, and we are far away, but she likes us and it's not easy to give them away. I have studied Danqing for a few years, and I am also proficient in fine brushwork. Why don't we draw some common flowers? Give the scenery to my sister."
When Lin Rui heard this, he clapped his hands and smiled, "Why didn't I think of that? It really is downright pedantic."
Lin Rui is also quite proficient in this. He is slightly older than Yu Heng and has a deeper foundation. Together, the two of them took advantage of their spare time to visit various scenic spots in Suzhou, drawing them one by one, and painted many meticulous flowers, grasses and insects. It was sent to Yangzhou so that Daiyu could see all the wonders of Gusu even though she would not go to Gusu in the future.
Seeing such thoughts, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min praised them very much. They said that they thought carefully and ordered someone to paper it carefully. Fang showed it to Daiyu, and they were really happy. They picked a picture of hibiscus coming out of water and hung it on the wall. Day appreciation.
Governor Lian has been promoted and stayed in Beijing. Mrs. Lian took Liancheng away to reunite with her in Chang'an City. When he came to say goodbye to Lin's house, Liancheng saw the meticulous painting hanging in Daiyu's room, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Daiyu solemnly. Yudao: "Sister Lin, my mother's paintings of peonies are very good, and I will do it in the future. I will draw many paintings for you in the future, not only painting peonies, but also spring willows. I also want to learn how to draw pictures of ladies." , don’t pinch flowers and break willows to make you angry, you can enjoy flowers from paintings.”
Daiyu pursed her lips into a smile, brushed her fingers across her cheeks, and said, "It's not ashamed to pick up people's teeth!"
Liancheng, on the other hand, was open-minded and didn't care. He said straightforwardly: "As long as my sister can see it, how about learning from others? Don't worry, sister, I will definitely draw better than the person who gave you this painting. Then you just hang up Don’t hang up my paintings, his.”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, but when they mentioned parting, they were sad.
Mrs. Lian persuaded Jia Min softly: "We can always meet again. By then, I want to come to Cheng'er to learn a good painting, and maybe I can speak good words to please Yu'er. Neighbor, even if you and I are far away from each other, and remember each other's love in our hearts, it's no different from seeing each other every day."
Jia Min had no choice but to bid farewell, and sent her to Beijing with Liancheng on board.
After Mrs. Lian's mother and son came to Beijing, Jia Min felt quite sad, but seeing the pair of children, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows and smiling.
But Zhou Rui's family was delayed for a long time on the way. He arrived in Jinling in April and went to Xue's house to pay his respects. When talking about Mrs. Wang's entrustment to Jia Min, it was inevitable that he would be a little jealous.
Aunt Xue was always on good terms with Mrs. Wang, she frowned when she heard this, she only took letters and things, and ordered her to go down to rest.
Master Xue came on crutches and asked, "What? What did you say?"
While opening the letter, Aunt Xue said: "My master is not resting, what are you doing here? Don't be tired."
Master Xue sat on the chair and said with a smile: "Where are you so weak that you can't afford to be sick? Every day I eat ginseng and cinnamon, and the doctor said that it is much better than before. It's Bao girl's medicine that can be prepared. ? I watched Bao girl coughing so badly every day that she almost coughed up her heart, and my heart ached in panic."
Aunt Xue was also a little annoyed at the mention of the poisonous heat brought by her daughter from the womb. Although a monk gave her medicine Yinzi and prescriptions, the medicine Yinzi also had a strange smell, and she felt comfortable after smelling it, but the medicine prescriptions were really good. It's a bit weird, and for a while, I didn't deserve it, so I had to say: "It has already attracted people's attention, but it's different, and the others may be done in another year."
Master Xue nodded, and asked again: "Did Bao girl's golden lock be locked?"
Aunt Xue had already read Mrs. Wang's letter, and there was nothing important about it, it was nothing more than household chores, she said: "It's done, never leave, never leave, forever, this sentence is engraved on it, and it has been worn by Bao Yatou." Monk Zhenzhen has some origins and I don’t know, but it’s a pair with Baoyu’s psychic jade.”
Master Xue was stunned, and suddenly remembered that he had heard that the psychic jade had a very strange origin, and there were many writings on it, but he didn't know how the child was born with the jade in his mouth, it seemed that it was indeed a pair with the painting on the golden lock.
Aunt Xue remembered Mrs. Wang's repeated mention of the second treasure, and couldn't help but said: "Maybe it's a marriage. The monk said that the golden lock can only be matched with jade. My sister's treasure is jade, and our treasure girl If you have gold and a monk like that, isn’t it a good match from heaven? What do you think, master? My sister’s family status is excellent, and Baoyu is favored by the old lady. In the future, the family business will be Baoyu’s. The door, my sister will definitely not treat her harshly, and she can also help Pan'er."
Master Xue frowned and said: "If you say that the family is rich and honored, it is naturally excellent. What's more, if there is a monk, it's just that their old lady loves Baoyu so much, can she agree to make this marriage early?"
Aunt Xue said: "The order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, the old matriarch is separated by a layer."
Master Xue thought about it for a long time, and then said suspiciously: "Bao girl is only six years old this year, and Baoyu is only four years old, so why did she mention marriage? Bao girl was born well, and she is very intelligent, maybe her fate is not because of this. Woolen cloth."
