Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn

Because the boy who came back to announce the good news was smiling all the way, and when others met him and asked him, they couldn't help but open their mouths. Therefore, before the news reached the Lin family, people outside knew it first, and Ye Ting was the same.

When the news reached the Lin family and learned that Lin Rui had won the first place, Daiyu was immediately overwhelmed with surprises. She wanted to tell Lin Ruhai that Lin Ruhai was away from work and would return two days later. , everyone from top to bottom will be rewarded with a month's money, let's enjoy ourselves, and we are not allowed to go out to publicize and make people laugh."

The housekeeper's daughter-in-law heard this, and went out to spread the word with a smile on her face. The servants got the reward and came over beamingly and kowtowed to thank them.

Jia Min was not at home. Although Daiyu was in charge, she only took care of trivial matters such as giving gifts from each family, giving gifts at home and rewarding envoys, and other trivial matters.

But the butler was both happy and sighed, thinking back when Lin Ruhai entered school at the age of 14, when the old lady was there, he was the first in the capital, how lively it was.Now that Lin Rui has achieved fame early, who doesn't say that the master and wife are good at teaching their children?Next, it's time to get busy with the uncle's marriage.It is best to let the master and wife decide, choose a grandma who is the same as the wife, but not those who are short-sighted and ignorant. Their family is now a civil servant, and choosing in the civil servant's house will complement each other.

The butler squinted his eyes and smiled, in this way, their family will be rich again for a long time.

This time, there were twelve students in the academy who took the exam. Nine of them were selected, and only three of them failed. Lin Rui and Yu Heng went to high school in one fell swoop.The academy was already well-known in the south of the Yangtze River, and it became even more famous at this time. When the students in the academy came out, they were all respectful and respectful, not daring to be slighted.

Daiyu followed Lin Ruhai to know a lot, and her son followed Lin Ruhai to see the students who were taking the exam. The ages were uneven. There were only two or three students at Yu Heng's age, and they were all from aristocratic families.Because they were enlightened early, and they invited the teachings of contemporary great Confucianism, with all kinds of pens, ink, paper and inkstone books, they learned earlier than the poor, and they wrote better articles, so they went to high school more, while other students went to five or sixty years old. The youngest are eighteen or nine years old.After listening to Lin Ruhai's detailed explanation, Dai Yufang understood the difficulty of the imperial examination.Now Lin Rui is the No.60 in high school at the age of less than 14, Dai Yu feels very glorious, Yu Heng only got No.1.

Even though Lin Ruhai taught her in every possible way, Daiyu still couldn't hide her nature, relying on her genius, and always wanted to overwhelm everyone. Lin Ruhai saw that her nature was like this, and she was even more cute, so she didn't restrain her. Therefore, Daiyu liked Lin Rui first and sighed at Yu Heng. ninth.

Daiyu knew that the imperial examination was difficult, and it wasn't that she disliked Yu Heng's talent, but she didn't want to be inferior to others, and thought that the first place was better.

Yu Heng and Lin Rui are not in the same high schools. Lin Rui was originally from Gusu, so he didn't have to travel far to take the exam in Gusu, while Yu Heng's ancestral home was Yangzhou.Just like Jia Min went to Gusu, Mrs. Yu brought Yu Heng back to Yangzhou years ago, and also came to Lin's house to meet Daiyu, so Yu Heng took the exam in Yangzhou.There is no man who is in charge of the family in their family, it is Lin Ruhai who takes care of Yu Heng's needs before and after the exam.

If you want to enter school, you have to pass three exams at the county, government, and college. During the exam, you have to be recommended by scholars, and the required scholars are promoted in order. Although Yu Heng does not have to do this, it is very cumbersome.

Mrs. Yu is getting old, and she is powerless in many things. What's more, there is only Yu Heng, a male in the family. Only Lin Ruhai is invited.Both Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's character are deeply admired by Mrs. Yu. She can't trust others, and she doesn't want to owe them favors. On the contrary, the Lin family has already owed a lot of favors, so she doesn't care about it anymore.

When the news of Yu Heng High School came, the old lady Yu wept with joy. Although Yu Heng did not come from the imperial examination, he would not lack for glory and wealth when the crown prince ascended the throne and the princess concubine, but after all, he was not as good as being born in the imperial examination.Yu Heng has achieved fame, and he will be famous in the future. No one dares to say that he got the position because of nepotism.Therefore, Mrs. Yu immediately ordered Yu Heng to bring the gift she had prepared a long time ago and go to the Lin family to pay her respects.Unfortunately, Lin Ruhai was not at home, so Daiyu had to see her.

Yu Heng was young, and Daiyu was even younger, only six years old. They grew up together since they were young, and they had no taboos with each other, so they invited Yu Heng into the living room.Yu Heng Daiyu hadn't seen her for a long time, but when they met at this time, they all felt that the other party was very different from before.

Yu Heng carefully looked at Daiyu's description, she was very pretty, but also very timid, and she couldn't help but frown, and asked with concern: "The doctor said before that good health care is enough, my sister doesn't usually have good health care? Why is it still like this?" Insufficient?" Yu Heng and Lin Rui went to school together for a few years, went to Lin's house back and forth, saw Daiyu often, and naturally knew everything about Daiyu.

Hearing that Daiyu was seeing a guest, Lin Zhi volunteered to accompany her, and followed Daiyu, saying that she wanted to protect her sister from being bullied.The day before yesterday Yang Ru came to ask Daiyu to be stubborn, and she didn't know what she said, which made Daiyu very unhappy. Lin Zhi decided that in the future, he must say what his sister would not say in front of others, so as not to make her angry, so he listened to Yu Heng's words, He glared at him, and shouted: "Sister has our family's love!" The implication is very clear, Daiyu has her parents and brothers to take care of her, so no outsiders need to worry.

Hearing this, Yu Heng glanced at Lin Zhi, smiled, and did not answer.

Yu Heng grew up alone, and it was better to study with Lin Rui as his companion. He made many friends in the academy, but in his heart he envied the deep love between the brothers and sisters of the Lin family, not like he was a lonely ghost.When Lin Rui was in Gusu, he received letters and articles written by Daiyu from time to time. When talking about Lin Zhi's jokes, it was like a walnut cart, full of papers, so Yu Heng was not as knowledgeable as Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhideng was very depressed at the time, and he remembered Yu Heng very carefully, which was not to his liking.

Seeing that Lin Zhi had nothing to say, Daiyu couldn't help laughing and said, "Why didn't he take care of it? It's just that he has been like this since he was a child. Brother Yu doesn't have to worry. His parents watched him, and the doctor said that he is better than before! I am the only one in this body. I was born in a wealthy family and used so many precious medicinal supplements to raise my health. It is a great fortune not to be born into a poor family. Let alone me, I haven’t congratulated brother Yu yet, Xizhong No.9. Nowadays, when people talk about brother Yu, everyone says Brother Yu is born handsome."

Yu Heng was very self-aware, shook his head and said: "What is a natural talent? Those are just compliments. Whichever family's children passed the exam, they say they are all natural talents. I am not alone. I never believe these things. Only in the future can I be safe." Bangwu can set the country, that is the real talent, I am far behind. As far as articles are concerned, I am not as good as Brother Lin. As far as poems are concerned, at my sister’s age, I still can’t write such exquisite poems. Sister Stop embarrassing me here."

After hearing what he said, Daiyu was not at all proud of her words. Daiyu tilted her head and smiled, two dimples appeared on her mouth, and said: "Brother Yu, why did you see the poems I made? It's hard to be elegant, let brother I laughed."

Lin Zhi interjected, "Sister's poems are naturally good, but brother Yu is quite knowledgeable."

Yu Heng smiled, looked at Lin Zhi and said, "That's true. I admire Sister Lin's talent in my heart. I wonder if I'm lucky enough to see the homework done by little brother Chou'er? I heard that little brother is studying with Sister Lin now. It’s quite a samadhi.”

Hearing him call his own nickname, Lin Zhi said displeasedly: "A brother is a brother, what do you call ugly?"

Daiyu couldn't bear to see Lin Zhi being bullied by Yu Heng. Except for herself, he would turn against anyone named Lin Zhi by his nickname. This Yu Heng really got Lin Zhi's key point. No wonder Lin Rui often praised Yu Heng for his ability. It can be seen from this Yiban then broke into a smile and said, "Brother Yu, you are taking the exam this year, can you write down the topic so that I can also write an essay?"

Seeing her defending Lin Zhi, Yu Heng no longer bothered about it, and heard that she wanted to read the questions for his exam, he couldn't help being startled, and said: "Sister, can't she do these essays normally?"

Daiyu smiled and said, "I'm also studying the Four Books and Five Classics, and I want to know about the exam questions."

Yu Heng was full of admiration, agreed, and said: "From shallow to deep, I will write down many questions for my sister." Moving to Daiyu's study, he took a pen to write down the questions he was taking for the exam, thought about it, and then wrote down the questions in the back. Plus a few questions assigned by the previous teacher.

Daiyu was really happy to see her, she pondered for a while, and sat down to solve the problem.

The article hadn't been finished yet, Yu Heng saw that it was getting late and he didn't wait for Lin Ruhai, so he had to leave regretfully, saying that when Daiyu finished answering these questions, he would definitely read it before Lin Rui.Daiyu asked him to write a question, but promised not to mention it.However, Lin Zhi wished Yu Heng could leave as soon as possible. The elder brother of the Yu family was too bad, and he could easily get his sister's attention with just a few questions.

Yu Heng got the promise, took a look at Lin Zhi, and left with a smile.

Daiyu didn't finish answering the questions written by Yu Heng until the second watch. Yu Heng came over the next day and showed it to him. While talking, Lin Ruhai came back from the outside. Yu Heng hurriedly congratulated Lin Ruhai and then thanked him.Daiyu explained the news that Lin Rui was in Gusu High School, Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "Ruier High School, as I expected, there is no need to celebrate it with great fanfare."

Having said that, it will come out soon, but the corners of Lin Ruhai's brows and eyes are still hard to hide the deep joy.

Seeing this, Daiyu and Yu Heng couldn't help but smile at each other.

Unlike the happy events that Lin and Yu's family received, Jia's family was sad. The reason was that Jia Zhu had recently studied hard and suddenly contracted a serious illness. Failed again.When these two incidents were put together, Mother Jia felt uncomfortable, so it was natural for others not to joke around, so they were inevitably a little more careful in their actions.

Not as bitter as the Jia family, but Dafang was overjoyed, not at all depressed because of Jia Lian's failure, but held a big feast to celebrate Chen Jiaojiao's two years in the family, and finally gave birth to a son safely.

Coincidentally, the child was born on the twelfth day of the second lunar month during the Huachao Festival, which was the same birthday as Daiyu. Jia Lian hastily sent someone to Jiangnan to announce the good news.To him, Jia Min is like a mother. Now that he is in his twenties, he understands how much Jia Min has helped him. If he had no one to teach him back then, or if his father married Mrs. Xing and he married Wang Xifeng, he would not be where he is today.

Jia Lian was grateful to Jia Min in his heart. Over the years, every year when the Jia family returned gifts to the Lin family, there must be extra things Jia Lian paid tribute to Jia Min, and there were also things for Lin Rui, Lin Hui, Lin Zhi and others, which never stopped.

When Chen Jiaojiao gave birth to a child, Jia She was the only one who was really happy.

After Chen Jiaojiao entered the door, she was knowledgeable and reasonable by nature, and she was gentle and peaceful in her daily life.When Jia Lian was studying, she was studying ink on the side, and occasionally she could intervene in it, discussing poetry and books with her. Compared with all the lively scenes in Rongguo Mansion, they lived a very clean and comfortable life. When they went to Jiamu's courtyard, Jiamu was happy again She is steady.The only fly in the ointment is that Mrs. Chen was very anxious because she hadn't heard from her for a year, but Jia She and Mrs. Dou didn't urge her very much.

Jia She had been married for many years before he had a son. Jia Zheng did not get his wife in the first year. Jia Min only got Lin Rui after seven or eight years in the cabinet. Therefore, Jia She was looking forward to having a grandson early, and did not have the same feelings for his daughter-in-law as outsiders dissatisfied.Chen Jiaojiao is very filial, she lives with Jia Lian wholeheartedly, Jia Amnesty is very satisfied, how can she say Chen Jiaojiao is wrong.

After this incident, Mrs. Chen told her daughter in private when she went back to her natal family to visit relatives again, "Don't look at your father-in-law's bad reputation and his incompetence. I am considerate of these things."

Mrs. Chen and her husband are only dissatisfied with their daughter's husband's family is Jia She. From time to time, Chen Jiaojiao was often called back to her natal home to visit her parents, so Mrs. Chen, who could often see her daughter, was very happy, and she slightly changed her opinion of Jia She.

Jia Amnesty is very scheming and self-aware, he knows he can't help his son, Li Xun became an official at the age of last year, and now he is at home for the elderly, Li He is still out, and Lin Ruhai is in the south of the Yangtze River again. However, there was no one who could help Jia Lian in the capital, and in the future he would have to rely on some contacts of the Chen family in the officialdom.What's more, Chen Jiaojiao is not the kind of person who waits to eat inside and outside, why should he be a villain, anyway, they are a good husband and wife, and one day they will be able to hold a grandson.Now that Chen Jiaojiao gave birth to a son, she was so happy that Jia Amnesty didn't know what to do, so she hurriedly looked through the books, and asked the friends of Qin Tianjian to help her, and named her Jia Fu.

After Jia Fu's full moon, Jia Amnesty's grandson was full of everything, Ji concubine didn't care about the antiques, and no longer went out to play around, wandering around her grandson every day, packed up many treasures, and sent them to Chen Jiaojiao, explaining that they were for the eldest grandson.It's just that Jia Lian and Chen Jiaojiao live in Lixiangyuan, and Jia She is his father-in-law, so he can't go there often, so he has to look in the direction of Lixiangyuan. Look, or let Mrs. Dou go.

Chen Jiaojiao saw it in her eyes, and suddenly discussed with Jia Lian one day: "Why don't you keep Fu'er in the master's wife's room? I go to ask for the rules every day. My wife is considerate and often doesn't make me so hard, but we can't rely on favors." And Jiao, and he has to go to the mansion to serve the old lady every day, and is often not at home, so he can't take care of Fu'er, so it would be better for the master to look after Fu'er."

Jia Lian was startled, and couldn't help but look at her sideways, and sighed with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that the master will teach us that Fu'er is also such a temper? I told you before, but fortunately I was not taught by the master, otherwise I would be like this now." It can only be a libertine. We finally gave birth to Fu'er, who loves his eyes like eyes. I also want him to inherit his father's career. Tomorrow, he will study and improve. First, I will take the exam to make me happy, and then I will take the exam for a Jinshi. Officer, so that our family can prosper for another hundred years."

Chen Jiaojiao broke into a smile and said: "Fu'er is only so old, I think too early. You can listen to my reasoning before making a decision, okay?"

Jia Lian is not an arrogant and domineering person. He often does things, and often discusses with Chen Jiaojiao when he is undecided. Therefore, after hearing what Chen Jiaojiao said, he said: "Grandma, let me listen. If it makes sense, I will listen to grandma." , if it is unreasonable, grandma will listen to me."

Chen Jiaojiao had thought about this matter for a long time, and she had told her mother about it when she came to visit, so she said to Jia Lian, "Let's talk about the Lixiangyuan we live in, although it is a separate courtyard, but it is only separated from the main courtyard by a narrow road." , people often go to the second wife's room to do things, people come and go, they all pass in front of our door, there are too many people, hands and feet may not be clean, no matter how careful we are, there will always be omissions, if someone gets up You have evil intentions, and you have evil intentions towards Fu'er, what can you do?"

After hearing this, Jia Lian said in amazement: "Isn't that the end of the story? Although our two families often have quarrels, we are both members of the Jia family. Do you still want to do something to Fu'er?"

Chen Jiaojiao said seriously: "Our house is in a mess, I don't know? Why does the house stare at the seat of the head of the family, I don't understand? No matter what happens, the most important thing is to prevent problems before they happen. We only have Fu'er and one son in front of us. It's the same fate. When something happens, it's too late for us to regret it. Think about it, how many people's eyes and hearts have been poked since I was pregnant until Fu'er fell into grass? I don't know how many people are expecting us to have no children. No daughter! If we have no children, who will benefit?"

Jia Lian's complexion darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "You don't know yet? I wish that everything in the family belonged to Baoyu. Let me just say, there was no news from grandma for the first year after she came in, so why was she not in a hurry at all? Urging, on the contrary, after Xi gave birth to a child, the main courtyard said that the girl broke a lot of things carelessly."

Chen Jiaojiao nodded and sighed: "If we don't have any children, then it will all belong to them."

Jia Lian fell silent after hearing this.There is no need for Chen Jiaojiao to elaborate, he knows that Jia's mother is looking forward to Baoyu's.If Lin Ruhai was here, he would have sighed when he heard what they said. In his previous life, the Jia family was ruined, and Jia Lian was lucky enough to survive. Unfortunately, he had no children in his life. Only then can future generations worship incense.After Sister Feng was divorced, something happened to Jia Lian before he could marry the Jia family again. After he came out, no one was willing to marry him, and he was destined to have no children.

Chen Jiaojiao said again: "I don't think it's clean in Pear Fragrance Court, let alone Fu'er. If Fu'er is placed in the East Courtyard, his wife is shrewd and decisive, and there are his wife's people inside and outside the East Courtyard. The person who is a man will not go to his wife's place when he is free, and he will not have any secrets. Isn't it much cleaner? My wife expects us to die in retirement. Fu'er is the grandson of my wife's direct relationship. Why can't my wife hold her in my hand? Besides, my wife I have suffered in the past, my body is not very good, and I often suffer from some illnesses when I am only 30 years old. I set the rules in front of the old lady every day, but I just endure it. I feel distressed when I look at it. Why not let the wife take care of the grandson as an excuse and take a rest at home. I am young. , and strong and strong, just to be filial in front of the old lady on behalf of the wife."

When Mrs. Dou was sick, Jia Lian would personally go to the imperial physician, ask about the medicine, and serve the bedside. Hearing what Chen Jiaojiao said, he couldn't help but think of Mrs. Dou's hard work over the years, thinking it was very reasonable, and fell silent.

Chen Jiaojiao continued to insist: "We all know the temper of the master. These years, the master said that he would not cause trouble. There are still many people outside using the name of the master to make troubles. The master knows better than me. Take a look, since there are people Fu'er, has the master ever gone out? He hasn't caused any trouble. Let the master look at Fu'er at home, it may not be because the master is at home, the master does not go out to cause trouble, our house is actually very clean, otherwise, all Our family's sin."

Speaking of the things Jia She did outside, Jia She didn't think of it like this at first, and couldn't bear the flattery from outsiders. For all the women, antiques, calligraphy and paintings that Jia She took a fancy to, someone took care of all the obstacles, and then sent them to Jia She Before, more than once.Jia Lian was deeply ashamed when he walked outside. As a son of man, he couldn't care less about it. He often had to deal with Jia Amnesty's follow-up, which was really difficult.

After Chen Jiaojiao finished speaking, she picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, then said: "As for the master who is worried that the master can't teach Fu'er well, there is no need to worry about it. Fu'er is still young, and he has to wait until three years old for enlightenment. There is always a wife who can educate her. It will definitely not grow crooked, and the master is not a foolish person who does not look forward to the growth of his children and grandchildren. Moreover, we sent Fu'er there, it's not that we don't see Fu'er, and we don't teach Fu'er. There are four people in our family, except for the master. Aside from the great love of reading, the remaining three all know how powerful they are, so are you afraid that you won’t be able to teach Fuer well?"

Having said that, Chen Jiaojiao put down the tea bowl, looked at Jia Lian with a smile, and waited for him to make a decision.

Jia Lian hesitated and said: "Although there are these third-class benefits, what you said is very reasonable, but I don't want Fu'er to leave our eyes. If I can't hear Fu'er crying at night, I can't sleep well."

Jia Lian got married later than others. Many people at his age had several children. Therefore, after getting Jia Fu, he wished to keep him in front of him and watch him all the time. For him, the sound of crying every night All are sounds of nature.

Chen Jiaojiao sighed: "Master still has to study now, and Fu'er is crying again, how can I calm down? I don't want to give up Fu'er, but in the daytime you have to go to school, I will go there to serve the old lady, who will stay behind?" Looking at Fu'er in the Lixiangyuan? Although the nanny and girl are both you and my confidantes, they can't make me feel at ease. Put it in the wife's room, one is that we will go there every morning and evening, and the other is that the wife can take care of herself at leisure, and There is something like a master who loves Fu'er, who would dare to act like a moth?"

Just as Jia Lian was about to speak, he suddenly heard a report from a maid outside: "The second wife sent Zhou Rui's family here."

Chen Jiaojiao glanced at Jia Lian and said, "Listen, here we come again. Since Fu'er was born and now more than a month, Zhou Rui's family has come seven or eight times. I know who she is and how much she has done for the second wife. " Mrs. Wang's case of taking up the lawsuit and exploiting profits can't be hidden from others. If she takes over the lawsuit, she has to send the post from the house to the yamen. Since she has intervened in the lawsuit, the Chen family can always get some news, not to mention Chen Jiaojiao. Listen to Jia Lian's detailed explanation of everyone in the family.

Jia Lian frowned and said, "What is she doing here at this time?"

Chen Jiaojiao ordered the nanny to carry Jia Fu to the suite, and Fang said to Jia Lian, "I don't know either. Zhou Rui's family has a sweet mouth and a sweet heart, and they know how to figure out what the second wife is thinking. The second wife doesn't need to say who she doesn't like, and she doesn't have to deal with it." , Zhou Rui’s family immediately tried their best to take care of who, who else didn’t understand? Xing’er, tell her to come in, I’d like to hear what she’s doing again.” The last sentence was addressed to the dowry maid, Xing’er.

Xing'er agreed and brought Zhou Rui's family in after a while.

When Jia Lian became an adult, he never went to the main courtyard except to pay his respects to Jia's mother's room. Even Mrs. Wang and Li Wan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in Jia Zheng's first room were rarely seen, let alone a mere servant.At this time, when I looked up, I saw that Zhou Rui's family was full of pearls and emeralds, covered with silk, with slender eyebrows, clear almond eyes, and a smile on the corner of the mouth.Jia Lian has seen the cosmetics distributed to Chen Jiaojiao in the mansion, and they are all unbearable things.If you don't know that Zhou Rui's family is a servant, everyone will think of her as everyone's wife when you go out.

Jia Lian's eyes suddenly fell on the wrists of Zhou Rui's family. This pair of red gold phoenix pearl bracelets was his mother's dowry gift. He gave his nanny Zhao Nanny as a birthday gift a few years ago. How could they be worn on her hands? ?

Seeing Jia Lian's serious face, Chen Jiaojiao felt confused, but her face was full of smiles, and she asked, "Sister Zhou, what's the matter?"

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly offered the gauze powder in his hand, and said with a smile: "The concubine of Xue's family in Jinling sent a lot of things, except for the wife who respects the old lady, the rest are distributed to the eldest wife, eldest grandmother, and second grandmother. Wait a minute, this belongs to Second Grandma, my wife ordered me to bring it. These are two bolts of fragrant cloud gauze, they were imported, it will be summer in a month, and I will make clothes for Second Grandma."

While talking, the members of Zhou Rui's family quietly looked at Chen Jiaojiao. It was not long after the confinement period. Chen Jiaojiao's figure was still bloated. During the confinement period, her face was flushed, and the spots on her cheeks had not faded. She is not even as good as the first-class girls in front of Jia Mu, so why is Jia Lian still devoted to her?Even for such an upright person as Jia Zheng, when Mrs. Wang gave birth to Baoyu for confinement, she was seduced by Aunt Zhao's seductive son.

Zhou Rui's family was secretly puzzled. Could it be that Jia Lian was really different from the men in Jia She's Jia's family?

Chen Jiaojiao looked at those things carefully, thinking that her natal family couldn't get them, and the household clothes were for official use, but Jia Min sent gifts every year, and nothing was worse than these, she smiled lightly, and said: "Go back and thank Second Aunt for our kindness , but since Mrs. Xue gave it to Second Aunt, Second Aunt can keep it for herself, so why give it to us? It's a waste of money."

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly said: "Madam is thinking about everyone. If there is something good, I will naturally think about everyone."

When Jia Lian and Chen Jiaojiao heard this, a sneer flashed in their eyes at the same time.To put it nicely, every year when officials from outside come to Beijing, when they come to visit Rongguo Mansion, how many good things are given to Rongguo Mansion, such as poria cream, rose dew, gold watch, bird gold, feather satin and feather yarn duoluo, etc. Tributes are also things that are often given away, why didn't their eldest family see them a few times?

Chen Jiaojiao lowered her head and thought for a while, then smiled slightly: "The second wife is the most compassionate, who doesn't know?"

Zhou Rui's family looked around and asked, "Why don't you see brother Fu?"

Jia Lian and Chen Jiaojiao's heart trembled, they just talked about how the second room treated them, how could they not be cautious at this time?Chen Jiaojiao pressed Jia Lian's hand, and asked with a smile: "Sister asked our Brother Fu what to do? Brother Fu has just finished feeding and is already asleep. If Sister Zhou wants to see her today, she may not be able to."

Zhou Rui's family said with a smile: "My wife often praises Brother Fu, saying that he was born better than Brother Lang, and I like it very much in my heart. When Brother Fu grows up tomorrow, Brother Lang will have a brother like Brother Fu to help, and the two will work together. , it’s a good story.”

Jia Lian was furious when he heard this, sneered, and said, "Don't dare. Brother Fu will inherit the family business in the future, and he will have his brothers to support him. I think Brother Lang will have his own brothers in the future, so there is no use for us." Brother Fu? Who doesn't know that Brother Lang is enlightened now, and he is actually very smart, and he is not as good as him in all people."

Hearing this, Zhou Rui's family dared not say a word.

Chen Jiaojiao said with a smile: "Sister Zhou, don't blame our master for speaking bluntly. Anyway, our Brother Fu is the eldest son and grandson of the Rongguo Mansion, and we are the first to offer incense to the ancestors. Only others assist him. How can he help others?"

Nuonuoying from Zhou Rui's family said goodbye.

Jia Lian said to his wife: "She often comes here to walk around? Also said she wants to see brother Fu?"

Chen Jiaojiao nodded, and came here from time to time in the name of delivering things, and every time she asked to see Brother Fu before going back. Chen Jiaojiao never used the things they sent, and ordered people to seal them up and not allow them to be placed in the house. It was also the reason why she was eager to send Brother Fu to Mrs. Dou's room. Mrs. Dou had a lot of prestige and she held Mrs. Wang's handle, so everyone was afraid of her.

Jia Lian thought for a while, and said: "Tonight, I will tell the master and wife to send Brother Fu there. Anyway, we often go to say hello, and we will see each other. Here, I don't worry about people coming and going outside the door."

In the evening, he explained to Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Dou that Jia Lian omitted what was related to Jia Amnesty, and he said everything about Mrs. Dou.At that time, Chen Jiaojiao was not there, but Madam Dou was very moved when she heard this. She was harmed by her stepmother and brother in her early years. Since she was 30 years old, she often got sick, and how could anyone care for her?Jia Amnesty didn't care about things, Jia Lian often went to school, and only came to say hello in the morning and evening, Yingchun lived there, not to mention Mrs. Jia Muwang, but only Chen Jiaojiao noticed.

When Jia She heard that he was going to raise his grandson in his wife's room, he was so happy that he couldn't bear to talk about anything else. He nodded and said, "Very good, very good, so I can see my grandson often. With a grandson, everything else is impossible." It's up to you to decide."

Mrs. Dou smiled when she heard this.

Mrs. Dou is not Jia She, she thought about it for a moment, and then she knew the purpose of Jia Fu's putting it in her room, especially if Jia She could be restrained to watch his grandson at home, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?Jia She didn't like to go out at all, and with his grandson, he wished he could put it in front of his eyes, so he didn't have the heart to go out.These years, even though she was in charge of Jia She, outsiders often instigated Jia She to do bad things in Jia She's name. Fortunately, Jia Lian and I always paid attention to it, so we didn't do any heinous things that would harm the family.

Both Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Dou were willing to clean up the suite in Mrs. Dou's room overnight, removing everything that should be taboo, leaving only the good things. The next day Jia Lian and Chen Jiaojiao brought Jia Fu as promised.

Jia Amnesty hugged Jia Fu and did not let go, smiling like a chrysanthemum in autumn, ignoring Mrs. Dou and Jia Lian and his wife, saying to himself: "My good grandson, everything belonging to my grandfather will be fine tomorrow." It belongs to you, these are good things that our family got when we helped the Holy Majesty fight the world, I am not willing to give them to others, and your father has not seen them either."

Everyone couldn't laugh or cry, but Jia Lian and Chen Jiaojiao knew that Jia She's words were true.After Jia Fu was born, Jia She rewarded several boxes of things, which dazzled the couple. Which one is not a priceless treasure?If Jia Amnesty hadn't given it to Jia Fu, none of them would have known that Jia Amnesty's private house was so rich.

After sending Jia Fu away, Jia Lian suddenly felt that the room was much deserted, but he didn't bother to express his emotions, so he asked someone to invite Zhao Nanny.

Chen Jiaojiao didn't know what he asked Nanny Zhao to do, so she asked.Jia Lian didn't hide it from her, explaining that the gold bracelet on Zhou Rui's family that he saw yesterday was given to Mother Zhao by himself, and he wanted to ask Mother Zhao if Zhou Rui's family had bullied her.

Jia Zhu and Jia Baoyu each have four wet nurses, and Baoyu hates Nanny Li very much, and they are very affectionate, but Jia Lian has only Nanny Zhao, who are close to each other, and Nanny Zhao once served Madam Li Yes, I respect her very much in my heart, every time Zhao mama comes, he and Chen Jiaojiao treat her very politely, there is no room for the second wife's consort to bully her.In Rongguo Mansion, their first room is not as good as the second room, but even the cats and dogs in their room can't be bullied by anyone, let alone Zhao Nanny.

Zhao Nanny came over and sat down. Hearing Jia Lian's question, she couldn't help sighing, and said in a straightforward way: "Don't be upset, Grandpa and Grandpa. It's all my fault. I won't refuse if I'm clumsy. My wife gave me the dowry bracelet, and I kept it like a treasure, and I didn’t take it out easily. My daughter-in-law saw it and wanted it, but I didn’t give it to me. I’m also to blame. Grandma washed the three that day, and when I came back, I forgot to take off the bracelet. After coming down, when you go out, you might as well ask Zhou Rui's family to see it. They are full of praise for how unique and delicate this bracelet is, and they say that they have never seen such a good bracelet. Booing, saying that I have become the nanny of the master, what good things will the master not give me? Why do you care about this bracelet? He just took it off my hand and put it on for Zhou Rui's family. Take my things, but wear them more firmly than anyone else."

Mrs. Li's dowry is so precious, it was given to her by Jia Lian, and it looks decent when she wears it, which shows that the master values ​​her, and Mother Zhao loves her like a treasure, and she is reluctant to give it to her own daughter, let alone this innocuous outsider from Zhou Rui's family .

Jia Lian was furious and said angrily, "Could it be that they were forcibly snatched from the mother?"

Mother Zhao sighed: "That's not right! There were a dozen or so people talking to me that day, and they usually flattered the Second Wife and Zhou Rui's family. How can I stop them from pressing their hands and feet? The original said, if it’s anything else, it’s a dowry gift from my wife, and I gave it to me as a birthday present, so I can’t give it to anyone. Unexpectedly, they laughed and said, I served my grandfather, don’t I have other good things? Give it to me? Why bother with such a pair of bracelets? Since Zhou Rui's family has taken a fancy to it, give it to her. They are all servants in the mansion, so don't hurt your peace. I dare not say it."

Among the servants in the Rongguo Mansion, apart from Nanny Lai and Lai everyone, Zhou Rui's family, who is Mrs. Wang's companion, is the most respectable. No one else can compare to her. What's more, Mrs. Wang is the head of the house and takes care of all the affairs of the mansion. In charge of the spring and autumn rent in the mansion, who doesn't give some face?As long as they please Zhou Rui's family, no one cares about offending Mother Zhao.

Zhao Nanny was very angry, but she knew the rift between the two rooms, she couldn't cause trouble for Jia Lian and his wife, so she could only swallow her anger.

After hearing this, Chen Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and said, "Don't be annoyed, leave this matter to me. If it's anything else, we don't care what kind of gold, pearls and gemstones it is. Since it is the relic of my mother-in-law, how can it be placed in such a place?" in human hands?"

Zhao Momo hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't argue with them over this, this time grandma gave birth to a brother, there are many people who are not happy over there."

Jia Lian sneered and said, "Don't worry, Mammy, we don't care, but it's easy for them to take an inch. Besides, we don't have any serious relationship with them. Without them, we live like this. With them, we still live like this. How can we ever get along?" What is the benefit of living over them? It is to turn your face, anyway, there are only so many people in our east courtyard, it's not that we can't support ourselves."

Sitting opposite Jia Lian, Chen Jiaojiao nodded and said: "All those people in the house are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, bullying the good and fearing the evil. We are weak-tempered, which is why we are bullied. You don't need to worry about this matter, just listen to me. "

The next day, Chen Jiaojiao went to pay her respects to Mother Jia and asked for leave for Madam Dou.

Now that Baoyu is getting older, she is becoming more and more like a treasure like jade. Jiamu loves to be lively when she is old. She often sees Baoyu and Ying, Tan, Xichun and others have fun in front of her. Yun, originally a talkative and laughing character, very clever, looking at these flowery faces, Jia Mu smiled, and didn't care whether Mrs. Dou was in front of her. Hearing Chen Jiaojiao said that Mrs. Dou was not in good health, she invited a doctor again. now again
