Happy Life in the Red Chamber

Chapter 6 Shi Xiangyun 5

When they were eating, what Liu and Tang ate was heartbreaking. What's going on with the Jia family?Lin Daiyu said just now about keeping filial piety, but that is filial piety!To be a vegetarian, no meat is allowed.There is a table of chicken, duck and fish in Jia's house, and the only two vegetarian dishes are also fried with meat oil.

Shi Xiangyun rolled up her sleeves and got off the stage. Anyway, she is a child, and she speaks without restraint.Looking at such a large table of dishes, she tilted her head and said, "Ah, there seems to be no food that Sister Lin can eat?"

Mother Jia smiled: "What silly things are you talking about? Why can't your elder sister Lin eat it? Yu'er, you can eat whatever you want as if you are at home. Don't be restrained."

Shi Xiangyun pursed his lips: "But the mother taught me that keeping one's filial piety should not be contaminated with meat. It's all big fish and big meat. How does Sister Lin eat? You can't get enough with just porridge!"

Mother Jia's face froze, and she forgot again.The servant girl here also doesn't know how to do things, did she forget to remind her?

She wiped her tears, and said with emotion: "I also see that Yu'er is so thin that she is about to take off, thinking that even if she is a filial piety, she still has feelings. If Min'er knows it, she will agree with me." Yes, after all, nothing is as important as a child's body!"

Xiangyun felt that Honglou owed Mrs. Shi an Oscar villain, look at how well she acted just now.At the very least, Lin Daiyu was moved, and she wiped her tears and said, "It's all Yu'er's fault, she made grandma bother."

Mother Jia smiled lovingly: "Grandmother was thinking about it too. You are a filial child. How can you eat such big fish and meat. I'll have someone remove it and start over."

The considerate mandarin duck arranged the matter properly, and soon a table of delicious vegetarian dishes was served.Then a wonderful scene appeared, Xiangyun and the others were sitting, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng were standing.

As they ate, the three of them not only had to watch eagerly, but also Madam Wang held the chopsticks, Madam Xing touched the soup, and Wang Xifeng held the handkerchief and spoon.There are three people serving one of Jia Mu, and the posture is like a queen, ouch, it's so simple.

As the guests, Liu and Tang sat comfortably and finished eating, then led Xiangyun and the others to leave.Xiangyun successfully applied eye drops to Jia Baoyu today, but she didn't believe that Lin Daiyu would fall in love with a mentally ill person.

Sitting in the carriage, Tang shook her head: "Auntie is really getting old and confused, it's really bad luck for a girl from the Lin family to have such a grandmother."

Shi Xiangting smiled: "Sister Yun's snarky appearance today is really enjoyable, that Jia Baoyu is really nothing, it's just a broken jade, what's there to show off?

Mother, I have a question, how did he hold such a big piece of jade in his mouth?Didn't it mean that children's mouths are small?I feel that even the piece of jade in my mouth is choking. "

Tang put her arms around her: "It's just a trick played by the women in the back house. It's just a way to deceive your aunt and the Jia family's brainless people."

Shi Xiangting nodded half-understood: "Cousin Yuanchun's so-called birth on the first day of the Lunar New Year is a lie."

Tang sneered: "This is a big joke. What kind of good fortune does a court lady who enters the palace to wait on people want? She was dismissed in the primary election of the general election. Your aunt didn't give up, so she went to apply for a female official .

A female official has a nice name, and to put it bluntly, she is a high-ranking court lady.The Jia family's ambitions are not small, and if they want Jia Yuanchun to follow the path of the Concubine De, it depends on whether she has the ability. "

There is no coincidence, Mrs. Liu is also hugging Xiangyun at this time and telling her the legendary experience of the concubine De. Among the many princes, besides the abolished prince, is he the one with the highest birth?"

Liu Shi had never thought about this question before, after pondering for a while, she felt that it really made sense.But she immediately put this idea behind her, and said to Xiangyun: "The fourth elder brother is a cold-faced king, and there are not many people who support him. More people choose the eighth elder brother who is gentle and polite."

The little master Xiangyun raised his head and asked Liu Shi: "Who does the second uncle support?" Liu Shi rubbed her little head: "Don't worry so much, kid, you just need to follow the rules obediently and follow the mother alright."

Shi Xiangyun looked at Shi Xiangya who was sitting next to him, and obediently closed his mouth.Shi Xiangya glanced at Shi Xiangyun who was leaning on Liu Shi's arms, and the jealousy in her heart seemed to grow grass.Obviously she is the eldest daughter of the Baolinghou's Mansion, but when Liu Shi introduces people, she always tells people first that Shi Xiangyun is the eldest daughter of the Baolinghou's Mansion.

Today in Jia's mansion, those servants treated her differently from Shi Xiangyun. Shi Xiangya hated himself for not being born into his wife's belly.After returning to the Hou Mansion, the servant girl next to her biological mother, Li Shi, came to invite her to come over.She rubbed the handkerchief: "Go and tell Auntie, I'm a little tired, I'll see her tomorrow." After speaking, she turned her head and went into the inner room.

Since Lin Daiyu came, Xiangyun occasionally went to Jia's house to stay for two days, and every time he went, he shared a room with Lin Daiyu.Every time I saw Lin Daiyu in Xiangyun, I was very happy, because as long as Xiangyun came, Jia Baoyu would not dare to come into her yard.

How else can Jia Baoyu be a coward? Ever since Xiangyun scratched his face to death, he saw Xiangyun's calf go soft, so he hid as far as he could.

Sometimes Lin Daiyu felt that she was too thin-skinned. If she was as aggressive as Xiangyun and dared to scratch Jia Baoyu, he would probably have kept him at a respectful distance.

I don't blame Lin Daiyu for annoying Jia Baoyu, the main reason is that he is too clingy and runs into Lin Daiyu's yard every now and then.Those maids and women couldn't stop him, and several times before Lin Daiyu got up, he broke in.

Lin Daiyu was angry and annoyed, but she had to bow her head under the eaves. In order not to worry her father who was thousands of miles away, she always reported good news but not bad news in her letters.

Didn't know that Liu Shi asked her natal brother Liu Jinyu to write a letter to Lin Ruhai, and wrote down what she saw and heard in Jia's house. When Lin Ruhai received the letter, she was quite puzzled. All the teacups on the table fell off.

What a Jia family, if they take Daiyu from their family, can't they even clean up a house in a few months?The idea is to let my own Yu'er eat and live with that Jia Baoyu, so as to force him to agree to their marriage, right?

After Lin Ruhai sent Lin Daiyu to the capital, he was ready to fight the Zhen family.Now it seems that it is better to be exempted, and he is not going to continue to be the patrolling censor. The most important thing is to transfer back to the capital as soon as possible to reunite with his daughter.

He is not the only one who can share the emperor's worries, he should put his life and death aside, now that he is still alive, the Jia family dares to spoil his daughter like this, if he dies, Yu'er probably won't live long.

Lin Ruhai made up his mind and began to give Kangxi an excuse. The reasons were ready-made. He had been ill for a long time, and he was no longer capable of taking on the important task of patrolling the salt censor. He hoped that the emperor would send capable people to replace him.

Lin Ruhai took the initiative to retreat quickly, and the eighth and fourth elder brothers were eager to move, wanting to install their cronies.It's just that the fourth elder brother is impeccable in his work. The person he recommends is Kangxi's diehard faction on the surface, but in fact it is the person left to him by Empress Xiaoyiren.

On the contrary, the eighth elder brother seemed a little too hungry, and his eating was a bit ugly.Kangxi must be the one recommended by the fourth elder brother, and he also praised the fourth elder brother for his loyalty to the emperor.In addition, he was trying to suppress the eighth elder brother who was too popular in the court, and the successor to the position of Xunyan Yushi was recommended by the fourth elder brother.

The eighth elder brother Ji Jiying ended up making wedding dresses for others for nothing, how could he swallow this breath?Under his instructions, Zhen Yingjia often did things before Lin Ruhai stepped down. If Lin Ruhai hadn't been clever, his life would have been ruined.

As a result, Lin Ruhai fell under the door of the fourth elder brother who was recruited secretly. With the backing of the fourth elder brother, he did not miss the eighth elder brother's people.

A few months later, Lin Ruhai handed over the official duties in his hands, packed up the family business, and returned to Beijing on an official ship to report on his work.After meeting Kangxi, Kangxi first affirmed his achievements over the years, then sighed that he was not in good health, and asked him to go back to rest and recover from his illness before going to the Ministry of Rites.

Lin Ruhai was appointed as the left servant of the Ministry of Rites by Kangxi, which is not considered a high promotion. After all, the Ministry of Rites is a leisurely yamen, and the patrol salt censor has real power in his hands, in charge of the world's salt tax.

Before Lin Ruhai was going to return to Beijing, he sent a housekeeper back to repair the old house of the Lin family. This time when he came to Beijing, all his belongings were moved here.Before he entered Beijing, he didn't deliver any letter to Jia's family, so the Jia's family didn't know about it until Lin Ruhai returned to the capital.

It wasn't until the emperor granted him the title of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites that Jia Zheng hurried back to tell Jia Mu after hearing about it.

At first, Mother Jia didn't believe it at all. If Lin Ruhai came to Beijing, wouldn't she come to pay her respects?Not to mention that Lin Daiyu is still living in their house.

Lin Ruhai planned to tidy up the house before going to pick up Lin Daiyu. He spent a lot of money to hire two nuns from the palace. After everything was tidied up, he went to Jia's house with gifts.

The door of Jia's house opened to welcome Lin Ruhai grandly.But Lin Ruhai remembered what Liu Jinyu said in his letter that Daiyu entered Jia's house through the West Corner Gate... The more the Jia family flattered and respected him, the more he couldn't help but think of the grievance Daiyu suffered when she came to Beijing.

Lin Ruhai, who was extremely dissatisfied with Jia's family, directly proposed to take Lin Daiyu away after exchanging pleasantries. Lin Daiyu was dizzy. When she saw Lin Ruhai, she lost her composure and cried on the spot like a dream.

Lin Ruhai patted her on the back distressedly: "It's all for my father's fault. My Yu'er has been wronged. Daddy came to take Yu'er home." Daiyu wiped her tears: "Yu'er knows that Daddy is busy. The home is fine too."

When Jia's mother heard that Lin Ruhai was going to take Lin Daiyu away, she cried for her poor daughter, and said that she was old and wanted her children and grandchildren Chenghuan to die, and wanted to see Lin Daiyu every day.

Lin Ruhai directly refused: "I hired two nuns for Yu'er from the palace. In the future, Yu'er will learn the rules from the nuns and learn how to be a housekeeper. I am busy with official duties in the court, and I have no time to take care of family affairs. Yu'er has to learn to manage, after all, I have no plans to remarry right now."

The word "marry" at the end made Jia's mother completely silent. Lin Ruhai's meaning was obvious. If he didn't let me take Yu'er away, there would be no housekeeper at home, and I would have to marry my step-wife.

Helpless, Jia's mother could only watch Lin Daiyu happily carried into the carriage by Lin Ruhai, and left without even the slightest bit of nostalgia, secretly cursing Lin Daiyu for not being familiar with her.

She didn't even think about it, Lin Daiyu has been here for a few months, and she lived like a poor little girl living under the fence. She is also a precious baby at home, and it's not like she doesn't have her own home, why do she have to live there? Their family was said to be poor relatives who came to beat the autumn breeze.
