Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn

Jia She's first room and Jia Zheng's first room have no relationship for a long time. Since Jia She's private courtyard opened the black oil gate, except for Lixiangyuan, the rest all enter and exit through the black oil gate, even Mrs. Dou came to pay her respects. , They all went there by car, and then came back by car. The two families lived their own lives, which was tacitly understood by many people.And because Jia Lian gained fame for nothing at a young age, Jia Zhu was still studying hard, and the relationship became weaker and weaker. If Jia Mu was not still around, Jia Amnesty would have asked for a separation.

Over the years, although the two families were friendly, they were diametrically opposed in front of Mother Jia, especially Dafang, Madam Dou, Jia Lian, and Chen Jiaojiao wanted to separate immediately because of this, so Chen Jiaojiao had no taboo in speaking.

Jia Zheng's first house didn't want to fight against the big house, after all, they won't gain anything if they split up, so they can only back down step by step.

Therefore, Dafang's behavior often makes people feel that Dafang is a bit aggressive.

Chen Jiaojiao heard a servant gossip once by chance, and when she learned of such a statement, she immediately sneered, and the one who occupied the magpie's nest became a good person who others sympathized with and felt bullied by their big house. The Lord became a villain just because he was not angry with the housekeeper of the second room, and he would turn right and wrong.

After hearing Chen Jiaojiao's words, Mrs. Wang's complexion changed slightly, and she immediately smiled and said, "What do you mean? Mrs. Zhou's dowry was in the hands of Zhou Rui's family? I didn't know it. Could it be that Zhou Rui's family did it without telling me?" What can't be done? Lian's daughter-in-law, just explain the ins and outs of this matter to me, and I will send her to kowtow to make amends. You take back this pair of bracelets. If Zhou Rui's family has something, how can I let you take the jewelry? The reason for her?"

Chen Jiaojiao smiled and said: "Where is it from Zhou Rui's family? We should blame our mother-in-law Zhao for not wearing other bracelets, but instead wearing her mother-in-law's dowry to show off. Zhou Rui's family took a fancy to it and praised it endlessly. , someone made a fuss again, and took it off without Zhao Nanny's consent. Therefore, this time our wife gave Zhao Nanny a hard time and ordered me to get the bracelet back."

Mrs. Dou reprimanded Nanny Zhao did not happen, and even Mrs. Dou did not know about it until now, and Chen Jiaojiao only borrowed her name.Both their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are very smart and very close people, and they often use each other's name to do things cheaply, anyway, it is for their eldest wife, and it is not a big deal to replace them with their own people, even if Mrs. Wang asks Mrs. Dou Mrs. Dou definitely agreed that she ordered Chen Jiaojiao, and she would never let outsiders find out.

Hearing from Chen Jiaojiao that Zhou Rui's family took a fancy to Mrs. Li's belongings worn by Zhao Nanny and snatched them away, but Mrs. Wang was like a wooden figure, she couldn't help but blush at this time, secretly resenting Zhou Rui's family for not doing good deeds, but leaving behind excuses To the big room.As early as the year when Baoyu was conceived, my master and servant had left a great handle on the big house, and Zhou Rui's family was even more careless.

Baoyu and the others frowned and looked at Chen Jiaojiao, not understanding why she did this for a mere bracelet.

Jia's mother leaned back, patted Baoyu with one hand, and said, "What's the matter? Lian's daughter-in-law, tell me, and I will make the decision for you if I say it. It's just a slave, and it's called Can the master be humble? Don't say that Zhou Rui's family took away your mother-in-law's bracelet, that's right, if you open your mouth, she has to respectfully bring the bracelet."

When Jia Mu heard this, Chen Jiaojiao smiled, and said: "I heard from the ancestors, it seems that we are bullying and deliberately provoking trouble. What do I want to do with things that are not our own? It's not like our family doesn't have these. Besides, we don't have a master. I asked the servant why he wanted something. So today, Tete exchanged my own bracelet for the relics of my late mother-in-law. Although my bracelet is not as heavy as the beads on my old mother-in-law's bracelet, it is heavier than ordinary ones, but the craftsmanship is different. The portions are about the same, so Zhou Rui's family won't be at a disadvantage."

Yingchun was originally Chen Jiaojiao's sister-in-law, Xiangyun was a relative with a different surname, Xichun was young, Tanchun smiled and said: "I think Zhou Rui's family is hiding it from his wife, these servants are always pretending to be powerful. Second sister-in-law, don't worry, my wife understands." Knowing what Zhou Rui's family has done, I will definitely give my second sister-in-law justice."

After hearing Tanchun's words, Chen Jiaojiao couldn't help but glanced at her, Madam Wang's complexion softened a little, and she said to Chen Jiaojiao: "The third girl is very right, I don't know anything about these things. Since Zhou Rui's family did these things, we Then fine her three months' monthly money, and then ask her to kowtow to you and Lian'er to make amends, and present the first wife's dowry."

Chen Jiaojiao secretly sneered, no wonder their first wife had never fought with the second wife before Mrs. Dou entered the door. Listening to these words, they were protecting Mrs. Wang inside and out. Where is there any suspicion?And where is Mrs. Wang a wooden person in other people's mouths?Words are much more witty than others, one sentence to punish Zhou Rui's family for three months will stop others from continuing to punish Zhou Rui's family, she has already punished Zhou Rui's family, if others punish, it will be someone else's fault.

Jiamu raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said slowly, "I said it was something important, just a pair of bracelets. We are a family. If I get angry over such a trivial matter, I will be annoyed."

Chen Jiaojiao has been in the door for two years, and she understands that this matter alone will not affect Mrs. Wang in the slightest. Jia's mother loves Baoyu the most, so how can something happen to Mrs. Wang.When Jia She and his wife exposed the things Mrs. Wang did, how did they ever see Jia's mother do anything?Mother Jia's words were completely in her expectation, she couldn't help laughing and said: "The granddaughter-in-law just wants to get back the belongings of the mother-in-law."

Jia's mother praised: "This is a good and filial child. People like us should not care about these small things."

After finishing speaking, he said to Mrs. Wang: "Your nephew and daughter-in-law are generous and don't care about it, but Zhou Rui's family is too greedy to do such a thing. Even the bracelets on other people's wrists are envious. You have to give it to your nephew and daughter-in-law. An explanation."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "Don't worry, old lady, I understand."

Chen Jiaojiao's heart became colder, no wonder Jia Amnesty was dissatisfied with Jia's mother, just by this fact, she knew how partial Jia's mother was.Fortunately, Jia Lian had confessed to her a long time ago, saying that the Rongguo Mansion is now unable to make ends meet, and has already paid tens of 10 taels of shortfall anyway. Although the Rongguo Mansion has a lot of foundations, Jia Lian is determined to earn his own future. sad.She handed the shrimp whisker bracelet to Mrs. Wang, with the same smile on her face, and said: "Then ask Second Aunt to give this bracelet to Zhou Rui's family, and give it to me tomorrow."

Mrs. Wang said angrily: "I have said it several times, how can I ask you to exchange the bracelet? Take it back quickly, if you keep doing this, how can I deal with myself? I really want Zhou Rui's family to come and make amends, but you , wouldn’t it make outsiders say that I don’t know right from wrong?”

Chen Jiaojiao thought to herself, she was supposed to protect Zhou Rui's family, so where is the difference between right and wrong?

Baoyu sat beside Jiamu, and laughed and quarreled with Xiangyun for a while. After hearing these words, he walked up to Chen Jiaojiao, bowed and said, "Although it is sister Zhou's fault and has nothing to do with my wife, sister Zhou belongs to my wife. My wife is so full of apologies that I can't express it, I am here to apologize to my sister-in-law for my wife, good sister-in-law, don't be angry."

Baoyu is No. 1 in the Rongguo Mansion, except for Jia Zheng who is glaring at him, who else would dare to wrong Baoyu?Even if Chen Jiaojiao is sister-in-law, people of the same generation would not dare to accept the gift easily, especially in front of Jiamu, they hurriedly dodged to avoid it, and returned the gift, saying: "How can I be worthy of Brother Bao to apologize for Second Aunt? Don't be like this, it's actually breaking my life. The old lady said that it's just a bracelet. It's a trivial matter, so I don't need to worry about it. I don't care about it anymore. "

Baoyu laughed and said, "I have many gold and silver bracelets there. If my sister-in-law likes them, just pick them."

Chen Jiaojiao smiled lightly, and said, "Is it possible that I still lack the bracelet?"

She couldn't help but glanced at Baoyu, good man, how come there are hairpins, pearls and bracelets around him?She said that Baoyu's behavior of eating rouge was already very strange, so she still loved it.Looking at Xiren and other servant girls beside Baoyu, Chen Jiaojiao suddenly realized that she must be pleasing these maids.Other people's homes are full of girls who are loved by thousands of girls, and there are twenty or thirty maids around them, but in Rongguo Mansion, it is reversed. Baoyu has twenty or thirty maids, and Sanchun sisters are only surrounded by two big maids. There are four or five little girls who come and go to clean the house, plus four teaching nuns, one nurse, and the rest are gone.

Xiang Yun said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law naturally has no shortage of bracelets, but the second elder brother also has good intentions. The second elder brother hates those women the most. gas."

After hearing her words, Chen Jiaojiao glanced at her without saying a word.

Yingchun said: "Sister-in-law wants to get back the belongings of the late wife. She has a very good heart. It is our family's decent to exchange the bracelet. If sister-in-law doesn't take this bracelet out, it will make outsiders look down on sister-in-law if it spreads. Therefore, Sister-in-law, the wife can just accept the bracelet, and later send someone to return our former wife's things to brother and sister-in-law, and everyone will be happy."

Chen Jiaojiao smiled and said, "That's exactly the reason."

Shi Xiangyun rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hands to greet Chun in shame, and said: "At this time, it seems that your aunt and sister-in-law are getting close."

Yingchun has a gentle temperament, although she doesn't like to argue with others, she also doesn't want to be treated like this for nothing, and said with a light smile: "We are very close aunts and sisters, how long have we not been close? Sister Yun's words are so unreasonable."

Chen Jiaojiao smiled and said: "Exactly, aunts and sisters-in-law are very close. Could it be that Miss Shi will not get close to her uncle, aunt, and sister-in-law in the future?" Nai had a son before Shi Xiangyun, but his daughter was younger than Shi Xiangyun, so Shi Nai's son was Shi Xiangyun's cousin.

Chen Jiaojiao knew that Shi Xiangyun was not close to her uncle and aunt, so she said this.

When Shi Xiangyun heard this, he immediately bowed his head and remained silent.

Shi Xiangyun lived with Jiamu longer than Yingchun. Jiamu loved her far more than the three sisters Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun, and her status in Jia's mansion was second only to Baoyu.Mrs. Dou and Chen Jiaojiao are the masters of the East Courtyard. Although Yingchun still lives here, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law take Yingchun back to the East Courtyard from time to time. According to her age, Yingchun is already nine years old. It's time to learn everything, and you can't just accompany Jia's mother to relieve boredom.

Chen Jiaojiao was very puzzled by Jia's mother's thoughts. Sister Sanchun only followed Li Wan to recite needlework with her. The so-called school only knew a few words, and the rest were never taught. Nothing was taught.

Chen Jiaojiao likes Yingchun's gentle and demure temperament, she never blushes with others, she only has to give in to food, clothing, housing and transportation. With such a sister-in-law, she can rest assured that she is the elder sister-in-law. She has no troubles and no quarrels. Mrs. Dou personally raised her, and she has an extraordinary affection. Naturally, they all hope that Yingchun will grow up safely and get married safely.

Yingchun is not a person who doesn't know what is good or bad. She understands how her mother and sister-in-law treat her, and she is very grateful. She has long been worried about Mrs. Dou's condition. .Today Chen Jiaojiao came here for the bracelet, Tanchun was younger than herself, and even spoke for Mrs. Wang, couldn't she protect her sister-in-law?Therefore, there are the above words.She has lived in Jiamu's courtyard for a long time, and she can see many things, but she doesn't say it out loud.

Jia Mu said: "Young girl Yun doesn't have a sister-in-law yet. What are you talking about? Don't involve other people."

Chen Jiaojiao said yes with a smile, and Yingchun also stood up and agreed.

In the end, Chen Jiaojiao didn't take back the shrimp beard bracelet, and put it directly on the small table next to Mrs. Wang's chair.Trading bangles for bangles would spread her reputation well, but she didn't want to get a bad reputation because she didn't want to part with the bangles.Mrs. Wang said it was hers, and she made her own. The shrimp beard bracelet was put here by herself, and Mrs. Wang made the decision whether to give it to Zhou Rui's family or not.If someone said that her family was domineering if she acted like this, then she really had nothing to say.

After serving Jiamu and Baoyu Xiangyun Sanchun, Chen Jiaojiao returned to Lixiangyuan after leaving the crowd.

Looking at Chen Jiaojiao's back, Mother Jia sighed softly. She thought about how it is so difficult for the family to live in harmony.She originally thought of Chen Jiaojiao as a stable person, but now it seems that she is also a carefree person.After two years in the door, she has always echoed Mrs. Dou and picked on Mrs. Wang everywhere. Mother Jia saw it and didn't care about it. After all, Mrs. Wang's family should not be allowed to dominate. It should be suppressed, but for a long time In this way, if the whole family is not in harmony, this is inappropriate, and it will inevitably be bad for Baoyu.

Suddenly, Mother Jia thought of Sister Feng's personality. She was such a clever and interesting person who often pleases herself. Now she has given birth to a daughter who is better blessed than Chen Jiaojiao. The Lady Tomb King made such a mess.Thinking of this, Mother Jia regretted it a little.

Yingchun and other sisters didn't know what Jiamu was thinking, fearing that Jiamu would be annoyed by Chen Jiaojiao, so they came up to have fun and persuade them.

Baoyu is the most sympathetic and sympathetic to jade. He didn't like those old women in Zhou Rui's family who were infected by men, so he interceded for Chen Jiaojiao. After a while, he made Jia's mother smile. At the same time, he thought that Jia Min didn't reply to the letter after several months. At that time, there was nothing about Baoyu and Daiyu. Jia Mu couldn't help sighing, feeling a little lonely.

Xiangyun smiled and said: "What is the ancestor thinking? Tell us to listen, so that we can think for the ancestor."

Baoyu cared about Jia's mother, and she also asked this question.

Jia Mu glanced at them, smiled suddenly, and said, "I miss your aunt and cousin. In a blink of an eye, it's been more than ten years, and we've been separated from each other. I don't know what it looks like now."

Baoyu couldn't hear the word "sister", and hurriedly asked, "Auntie's cousin, but the sister who was born on the Huachao Festival that the ancestors said? The Huachao Festival is Baihua's birthday, and it is the most elegant. Sister Lin must be a very clever person. I really want to meet her. I don’t know how she is better than the sisters in our family. Ancestor, send someone to pick up Sister Lin. There are so many sisters in our family. Sleeping everywhere, going to school and studying together, how comfortable it is."

Jia's mother laughed and said, "I would like to take it, but your aunt and aunt are reluctant to ask her to stay away from her parents." Her most beloved daughter is Jia Min, and her most beloved grandson is Baoyu. It's all over.

Baoyu nestled in her arms and said, "What's the difficulty? Just let my aunt come to Beijing."

After hearing this, Xiangyun pointed at him and said, "Second brother, stop thinking about it. How can the ancestors make decisions about the promotion of officials? Besides, we are not enough to accompany you? I just think about others, and I ignore you. "Since childhood, Xiangyun ate and slept with Baoyu, and his close friendship and love are different from others. Now seeing him treat others like this, he feels very unhappy.

Baoyu hurriedly came over and bowed, and said, "My good sister, I miss you in my heart. How can I forget you?"

Xiangyun ignored him, and when Baoyu paid for it for half a day, Fang returned to anger and joy, returning to the old one for a while.

But Mother Jia thought that last time she urged Jia Min to return to the capital, she would never see her again, but Lin Rui came here for her, which aroused many people's hearts and wanted to get married. I don't know if Jia Min is willing or not.According to Jia's mother's opinion, the marriage between the Lin family and the Yang family is very good, and the Yang family's close relationship with other families is also good for the Lin family, isn't it?

The Yang family has come to inquire a few times, but Jia Min has not heard back, secretly disappointed.

Without mentioning what happened to Jiamu, Chen Jiaojiao returned to Lixiangyuan, changed her clothes, and then went to the east courtyard.In Jia's mother's room, she only heard that Mrs. Wang called Zhou Rui's family to apologize, but she didn't see Zhou Rui's family. She immediately understood that Mrs. Wang did not want Zhou Rui's family to appear in front of Jia's mother.After all, Zhou Rui's family is Mrs. Wang's accompanying room. She kowtowed to herself in front of Jia's mother to plead guilty.

At that time Jia Lian hadn't come back from school, Jia She and Mrs. Dou were looking at Jia Fu. Jia Fu was sleeping soundly, and the nanny stood aside in embarrassment, but Jia She kept guarding her every step, talking in a low voice with Mrs. Dou, seeing Chen Jiaojiao When she came in, Madam Dou asked casually: "Is there anything going on over there? I didn't go to serve the old lady today, is the old lady annoyed?"

Chen Jiaojiao said: "I'm afraid I didn't annoy my wife, but annoyed me." She raised this matter in front of everyone today. Although it didn't hurt Mrs. Wang, it made her lose face. Mother Jia loves the flowers in the mansion the most. A peaceful scene may not necessarily annoy yourself.

Mrs. Dou asked why, and looked coldly at Jia She's expression dimmed.

Jia She knew that Jia's mother was biased, but as a son, he always hoped that one day his mother could make a bowl of water level, but what happened in the house, even if Mrs. Wang did something illegal, Jia's mother would not No matter how he dealt with it, he hated that he often drank with his little wife for fun. No matter how much filial piety he had, he was also worn out by it.

Jia Amnesty said to Chen Jiaojiao disheartened: "I'm getting old, and many things are decided by you. Now our family is well-equipped. Parents, children, and grandchildren live together in the same house. It's quiet to live with the door closed. You don't have to look forward to it anymore. I don't expect anything from it. I have paid back the hundreds of thousands of shortfalls. With the expenses in the mansion, how many lifetimes can I really expect to be rich? I think, based on the old lady's thinking, everything in the mansion is worthless. Baoyu's, I've forgotten our family long ago."

After hearing this, Chen Jiaojiao answered yes repeatedly.

She really wanted to separate the family, and knew that Jia She and his wife and Jia Lian were the same, but unfortunately she would offend everyone after she knew that she said this. Although it is not the law, it is not a law to separate the family. , I am notorious.

After Chen Jiaojiao left, Mrs. Dou asked Jia She, "Listen, what's the matter, only when the family is separated can we be serious and quiet."

Jia Amnesty was full of sarcasm, and said: "Why don't I know this truth? But think about it, who would want to separate the family apart from our family? How can they live in Rongxitang if the family is separated? How can they be in charge of the family if they are separated?" Lord? Besides, the old lady is still here. If we split up, and the name of unfilial piety falls on us safely, how will the future of our children and grandchildren be good? I don't need to care about it, but Lian'er was born in Kejia. Brother Fu will be like this in the future, and he can't leave such a bad reputation."

Mother Jia took it for granted that her son's disobedience was unfilial. She knew that the second room was stealing from the main room and disrespecting the elders, but Jia Mu was protecting her and Jia Amnesty could not sue her. , went to sue her, and Jia Amnesty was disobedient and unfilial, breaking the law first.Mrs. Dou understood the reasoning, and sighed silently.

But Mrs. Wang came out of Jia Mu's room and returned to her courtyard, and immediately ordered Jin Chuan to say, "Call Zhou Rui's family here!"

Jin Chuan accompanied Mrs. Wang to serve at Jiamu's just now, and he heard the whole story and saw it in his eyes. Hearing this, he knew that Mrs. Wang was annoyed, after all she had lost face in front of Chen Jiaojiao, so she hurried to find Zhou Rui's family in person.

Zhou Rui's family lived in a group room near the backyard, but Zhou Rui and his wife were very respectable in the Jia family, so they lived in a separate courtyard, adjacent to the back door, with three main rooms, and hired a little girl and a woman Waiter, Zhou Rui's family is having wine with Zhou Rui at home, when seeing Jin Chuan coming, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Miss Jin Chuan is here, please sit down and have a drink."

Jin Chuan was only ten years old, and he was the son of the Rongguo Mansion. His appearance was clumsy and clumsy that Mrs. Wang liked, but he was actually first-class and second-class, with a delicate and clever heart. The power in Mrs. Wang's room is no less than that of the mandarin ducks around Jia Mu.She glanced at Zhou Rui's family with a half-smile, and fixedly stared at the bracelet on her wrist. It was really unique and beautiful. No wonder Zhou Rui's family snatched it from Mother Zhao regardless of face.After watching, Jin Chuan said: "I said that it's important that Zhou's mother went to the wife's room earlier. The wife is very annoyed today. If she goes late, we will not benefit."

The words made Zhou Rui's family stand up in a hurry, took her hand, and said: "My dear girl, quickly tell me what the reason is, so that I can know what it is, and I will speak good words for you when you are in front of your wife tomorrow." Son."

Jin Chuan thought about it carefully. Although Mrs. Wang was not happy with Zhou Rui's family today, but Mrs. Wang said that she would be fined for three months. Explain that by the time they arrived at Mrs. Wang's back door, Zhou Rui's family already knew all the ins and outs.

Zhou Rui's family looked at the bracelet on his wrist, took it off, held it in the palm of his hand, walked in and kowtowed to Madam Wang, and said with tears in his eyes: "If you know that it belongs to Mrs. Xian, you will kill me. I don’t dare to fancy it anymore. It’s all my fault for making my wife lose face in front of the old lady.” Zhou Rui’s family is actually very reluctant to part with this pair of bracelets. The phoenix on it is extremely delicate and ready to fly. Not bad.Zhou Rui's family is proud of their wealth and status, so they like to wear this pair of bracelets to be envied by others. Originally, they expected to be afraid to show it off as Nanny Zhao, but they didn't expect it to be Mrs. Li's dowry, and Chen Jiaojiao stood out for her.

Mrs. Wang looked at her silently for a while, a trace of exhaustion flashed across her face, she waved her hands and said, "Get up, why are you crying? I know it's not your fault, but it's just that they didn't like us and picked things up on purpose. So that the old lady doesn’t like us. It’s just that they don’t understand the status of Baoyu in the old lady’s heart, so all their actions are just a waste of time.”

Speaking of this, a very faint smug look flashed across Mrs. Wang's dull face.What she is most proud of in her life is that she has raised three good children. The eldest son is successful in studying, the eldest daughter enters the palace to make the family rich and powerful, the youngest son is born with a vision, ten times stronger than the children of other families, and her mother's family is powerful. No one can compare to her wealth and honor.

Zhou Rui's family heard this, stood up quickly, and complimented: "Of course, our brother Bao has an extraordinary background, let alone the old lady, it is the old lady who is so dear."

Mrs. Wang said: "That being said, you provoked this matter, and you have to kowtow to apologize."

Zhou Rui's family respectfully said: "Madam, don't worry, one person does things and one person is responsible. I know what to do."

She glanced at the bracelet reluctantly, rubbed it several times during the night, and went to Lixiangyuan to kowtow early the next morning with the bracelet in her hand.

Chen Jiaojiao and Jia Lian were washing and grooming, they sneered and said to Xing'er, "Hold it? I'm afraid everyone knows about it? The bracelet was snatched from Zhao Nanny, tell her to kowtow to Zhao Nanny to apologize! "Although Zhao mama is a servant, she is a servant of their family, do you really think that their servant is a soft persimmon?It's time for the couple to give their servants a good face.

Xing'er pursed her lips and smiled, and went out to spread the word.

Both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang thought that the big things would turn into small things, Chen Jiaojiao sneered, don't think they are outrageous.

Zhou Rui's family had no choice but to swallow their anger and apologize to Zhao Nanny, who accepted it with a smile.After this incident, the servants of the Rongguo Mansion said that the Second Grandma Lian of the Dongyuan was a powerful person, and no one would dare to neglect and insult the maids and women of the Dongyuan and Lixiangyuan. Before, they only cared about pleasing the people in the Rongguo Mansion. They all neglected the East Court.

No one in the Lin family cared what happened to the Rongguo Mansion. Before Jia Min went to Gusu, he received a letter from Jia's mother. It was nothing more than about the two jade children, and how good Yang Ru was. How did Lin Rui match and so on, Jia Min was so annoyed, not only did he not mention it to Lin Ruhai, he even went to Gusu without returning the letter.When she came back from Gusu in April, she received Jia Lian's letter announcing her happiness, and she was very happy for him.

Lin Ruhai looked at the plantains outside the Qiansha window like wax, but after listening to Jia Min's words, he was concerned about Jia Min's body.

Jia Min laughed and said, "I don't understand what the master is worried about. I'm fine. Even the doctor said that I'm not at all wrong. I've been tired on the road for so many days, and I seem to be more energetic than a few girls."

Lin Ruhai was slightly relieved, and said: "You are a person who is in good spirits on happy occasions."

Jia Min thought for a while and said with a smile: "That's true. I really won the glory of our Rui'er in Gusu. There are many people who come to see us every day. Who doesn't praise our Rui'er? They say that we teach well and send us off. More sons go to the academy to study, eight out of ten families are willing to send it, and the remaining two families are reluctant to bear the hardships of their children and grandchildren."

But Lin Ruhai said: "I said earlier that Muxiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and Rui'er should be suppressed."

Jia Min looked dignified, nodded and sighed: "I was so happy that I forgot the master's words, and still left him alone in Gusu to meet and talk with others from time to time. Since this is the case, let's take Rui'er back to stay for a while. Days, how about sending him back to study when no one over there pays attention to this? Anyway, Heng’er is in Yangzhou now, so it’s good for the two of them to be companions.”

Lin Ruhai had this intention, and immediately ordered someone to pick him up.

Jia Min paused her complacency, seeing Daiyu and Lin Zhi left and right, she couldn't help asking: "Where are Yu'er and Zhier? I've been back for half a day, but I haven't seen them." Normally, the two siblings would have seen each other in the morning. So we came here hand in hand, after all, this parting is only two or three months.

Lin Ruhai laughed and sighed, and said: "Last month, Heng'er came to thank you. Heng'er passed No. 9 in the exam. Yu'er asked for the exam questions to write an essay. She originally studied the Four Books and Five Classics, and she has already started to write essays. Relying on a genius, I thought I could do it, and I spent half the night working hard to make it. I came back the next day and saw that she was useless. I told her that if she went, let alone being on the list, she might not be as good as ordinary people. Well done, she cried angrily."

Lin Ruhai knows that Daiyu is very talented, but she is an ordinary person after all. Even though she is smarter than ordinary people at the age of six or seven, she is not a ghost, so she can't answer the question well.Lin Ruhai wanted to suppress her arrogance, and there were no words of praise in her mouth.

Lin Ruhai doesn't want her children to think too highly of themselves, so she is very attentive in teaching.

Lin Ruhai criticized Daiyu's painstaking essays, and she was very sad. She couldn't sleep well after doing the questions that night, and the next day she felt her nose was stuffy. After listening to Lin Ruhai's words, she immediately fell ill and was lying in bed. in bed.Yu Heng was so annoyed that he came to visit every day, secretly regretting that he shouldn't have given her the question and made her worry about it.

Daiyu's illness has lasted for more than a month, and the illness is not serious, but the illness comes like a mountain, and the illness goes like a thread, just as the season changes, she coughs a little bit, and feels that her talent is no more than that.During her illness, she had already begged Yu Hengmo to write an essay for her own exam. After comparing it, she was really far behind, so she was even more sad. She said sullenly that the praises of her by outsiders were all to coax her, and there was no truth. She is nothing more than that, and she will not feel that she is better than others.

When Daiyu was ill, Lin Zhi stayed by her pillow every day, and was quite tired. When Jia Min arrived home, the two siblings were asleep.

After Jia Min heard this, she got up and went to see them. She said angrily, "How old is Yu'er, and the master just said this? When she gets older, it's not too late to teach her. I used to say that the master taught Yu'er, and she How much can you understand? Don't try to encourage her to grow. She is doing well now, but she has been hit like this, what should she do in the future?"

Lin Ruhai supported her hand and walked towards Daiyu's room together, and said with a smile: "It would be better to let her know how powerful she is earlier, how can life be smooth sailing? Don't act like she is number one in the world. I would have known at this time, It's better than knowing it later. Our children are all extremely intelligent, but it's not good if they are arrogant because of their talents. We are such a daughter, we have to be taught to be more outstanding, so that we can pick others, not others pick her .Yu'er is physically weak, this point is extremely taboo in every family, although it can be adjusted well, but marriage negotiations are often too early, so I have to focus on other things, so that people can't find any shortcomings."

Jia Min shook his head and said: "Which lady is not like this? I think they are only slightly stronger than our Yu'er. They are all spoiled and spoiled. They just walk around when visiting the garden. The rest should not have to work hard. There are many disasters and eight disasters. Only those daughter-in-laws who work frequently can be called strong and strong. We have no reason to let our daughters work."

The people around couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

Lin Ruhai also said: "How many daughter-in-laws have you met? Do you know these?"

Jia Min said triumphantly: "I've seen a lot. This time, Rui'er was greatly shocked by mentioning Po Song's incident with Rui'er. She was very sensible and went to visit the countryside, saying that she understood people's livelihood. We didn't go to our own Zhuangzi. , I chose a mountain village, and after going there for a few days, I realized that the hard work of the farmers is beyond my imagination. But their daughters-in-law and girls can do the work, and their strength is not weaker than that of a man. Pick it up, I heard that if you have enough to eat, you will rarely get sick all year round."

While talking, I came to Daiyu's room, Qian's screen window was opened, and the silk tent moved, and Daiyu sleeping in it was looming, and when I looked closely, there was a crystal-clear jade face next to it, but it was Lin Zhi, covered with a gauze quilt, holding hands Holding a strand of black silk from Daiyu in his hand, he also slept soundly.

Bailu put down the needle and thread in his hand, came over and rolled up the gauze curtain, hung it on the copper hooks on both sides, and said softly: "Miss is better today."

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min looked at it once, and saw that there was still a book beside Daiyu's pillow. Jia Min glanced at Lin Ruhai, reached out to pick it up, and opened it. It was Spring and Autumn, so she handed it to Xueyan, and said: "The girl has not recovered Don't tell her to read books, when she recovers, what books can't she read? She reads these books for reason, not to take the imperial examinations, what's the use of doing well?"

After hearing this, the maids pursed their lips and smiled.

Daiyu's prodigy is not limited to the boudoir, Lin Ruhai does not want to restrain her like an ordinary woman, and loves her very much. Although Jia Min is delighted that her husband loves her daughter, but after all, she is a boudoir girl, so it is inevitable that she feels a bit out of line, but if she is brought up properly , there is nothing wrong with it, so I don't object much.

When Daiyu woke up, it was almost evening, and the sky outside the window was burning like fire, very gorgeous.

Daiyu got up and went to the window, saying: "Such a beautiful scene, I don't know how it should reflect the wilderness."

Blowing ink, washing inkstone and the others hadn't spoken yet, seeing Lin Zhi sitting up rubbing his eyes, turning his head to see Daiyu, he was relieved, and said: "When sister is well, I will go out with sister to see."

Daiyu nodded in agreement, and waited for someone to bring water to wash, when she suddenly heard Xueyan say: "Madam is back."

Hearing this, the two siblings were overjoyed, hurriedly cleaned up, and hurried to the upper room, and saw Jia Min talking to Lin Ruhai, talking about things in the capital, seeing a pair of children coming, Jia Min hurriedly stopped Staying on topic, he said with a smile: "Yu'er is awake? Zhi'er is a good brother, so stay with my sister like this."

After the siblings saluted, they came up to Jia Min, and Daiyu said, "Mom, Daddy said that my writing is not good."

Jia Min smiled immediately, put her arms around her and said, "Ming'er saw your father's article, and we also said that he did not do well."

Daiyu frowned, sighed, and said, "That won't work. Daddy's poems and articles are all the best. How can I say that Daddy's is not good just because I don't do well? I will follow suit in the future. Daddy loves to study. Brother Yu said, I am still young, and when I grow up, I will be able to write well."

Lin Ruhai couldn't help but said, "Why did you listen to Heng'er's words?"

Daiyu thought for a while, and said: "Daddy said that my article was not well done, and I listened to it. What Brother Yu said made sense, so I naturally listened too. Could it be that what Brother Yu said was wrong? If it was wrong, I would not Listen."

Jia Min glanced at Lin Ruhai with a smile, and said, "Okay, the master is so old, he still cares about these things."

The family of four was only short of Lin Rui, and after a few days, Lin Rui came back, and the family was reunited, Daiyu and Lin Zhi were especially happy.As soon as Lin Rui entered school, he had the smell of a horseshoe disease in the spring breeze, and there was a look of complacency on his face, but Lin Ruhai called Haosheng to say a few words to him. When Lin Rui heard this, his arrogance was completely absorbed, and his actions gradually Steady up.

Recently, Mrs. Yu was in poor health. Yu Heng waited on the sick bed and never returned to Gusu. Hearing that Lin Rui was back, he felt happy. No one talked about the fact that they passed the examination as a scholar, and they just occasionally
