After the Gu of the Red Chamber

In the past few days, Daiyu and Brother Wu have been playing at Lin's house happily.

Although the Lin family is a single heir for five generations, Mr. Lin has never seen his grandson born until his death. However, Mr. Lin bought the house with the dream of multiplying the Lin family, so this five-entry mansion is larger than the average five-entry mansion. many.

However, there are also big disadvantages. Back then, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min only left two servants to guard the house. Even though the housekeeper Lin was serious and responsible, he didn't take away the repair money that the Lin family sent every year, but it was nothing more than Barely maintained.

Even if he knew that Jia Min and others were coming, Steward Lin had someone tidy it up temporarily, but only a few courtyards on the central axis were suitable for living, and the other courtyards were still deserted.

A deserted courtyard like this may be intimidating to others, but for children it becomes a place for children to explore.

Daiyu also had a fit of childlike innocence, and she took her younger brother to play a game of survival in the wilderness. Fortunately, her brother was young and easy to deceive, but he never questioned anything, and had a great time playing with Daiyu.

If Jia Min hadn't seen that Daiyu was becoming more and more disreputable, she would have simply kept Daiyu by her side and learned from her butler, and if she didn't care, maybe the Lin family in the capital would have been demolished by the two children.

Although Daiyu is a bit early to learn housekeeping at this age, it's better than letting Daiyu go crazy. I didn't expect that the first thing they encountered was that Mother Jia posted a post to Jia Min to invite her back The government gathered together.

It can be seen that Jia's mother really cares about Jia Min's daughter, and it is her confidant Lai Mama who came to deliver the post.

According to the habit of Rongguo Mansion, as long as it is serving the elders, even a cat or a dog has to be respected. Even if Jia Min was dissatisfied with Rongguo Mansion's failure to pick her up earlier, she had to be invited to come in say.

Nanny Lai expressed her annoyance at first, and also briefly explained the fact that no one was sent to pick up the aunt back home.

Because Mrs. Xing is incompetent, the Rongguo Mansion has been managed by Mrs. Wang all these years, but since Second Master Lian’s bride--Wang Xifeng entered the door, the old lady felt that this Rongguo Mansion is a big house, it’s not good Mrs. Wang has been in charge all the time, so the housekeeping power has been transferred to Wang Xifeng's hands again.

Recently, because of Wang Xifeng's premature birth, the doctor said that Wang Xifeng would have to confine herself to confinement, so the housekeeping power was transferred to Mrs. Wang's hands again. This shifting back and forth immediately missed Jia Min's coming to Beijing.

Originally, Jia Min was somewhat dissatisfied, but she couldn't help being happy when she heard that Jia Lian had added a child.

"Brother Lian's daughter-in-law gave birth to a child?" Jia Min was overjoyed, "Good! Good! Great!"

Jia Min was really happy, never thought that that little brother Lian would become a father too.

Seeing the unconcealable smile on Jia Min's face, Lai's family secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and finally got over this episode.

It is said that the power of housekeeping has been moved around, but in fact it is not a thing. Although the power of housekeeping has been transferred to the hands of Lian's second grandmother in name, but speaking of it, Lian's second grandmother is just an old lady next to the second wife who holds the key. Like a maid, all matters in the mansion are still handled by the second wife.

It was also the second wife's idea that no one was allowed to pick up the aunt, and Lian's second grandmother was just taking the blame. The wife is an aunt and nephew, so there is no need to worry about these.

Sure enough, when it came to the Jia family's newborn, Jia Min couldn't care less about getting annoyed that the Rongguo Mansion didn't come to pick her up. Brother Lian's daughter-in-law was a mother for the first time, and she didn't care about the family for a while.

Jia Min quickly asked again: "Is the child a boy or a girl? Is Brother Lian's daughter-in-law safe?"

"It's a girl doll, it's a pity."

Nanny Lai paused for a moment and smiled again: "Second Mistress Lian is still safe, but after all she was born prematurely, she really suffered a serious crime, the doctor said she would have to be confinement."

Jia Min also felt that it was a pity, but she also replied: "It's okay to bloom first and then bear fruit."

She paused and said: "Some time ago, I remembered that Brother Lian had just got married. I didn't expect to become a father so soon."

Speaking of which, since Jia Min is on good terms with his sister-in-law, he is also very concerned about Brother Lian who is left behind by her sister-in-law. It's not as good as Brother Zhu who passed the examination of scholar at a young age, and he is more up-to-date than Jia Zheng.

With such a comparison, Jia Lian was immediately compared to a scumbag. Coupled with many other things, Jia Min gradually became indifferent to this nephew.

That's all, after all, he is his own nephew, Jia Min would dislike him, but after Brother Lian became an adult, the eldest brother actually asked for the daughter of the Wang family for Brother Lian!

The daughter of the Wang family is famous for being illiterate. Although she has a generous dowry, she is also too arrogant. She has heard about Wang Ziteng even if she is far away in the south of the Yangtze River. How can a family like this be Lian? What a good match for my brother.

Brother Piansheng said that he hired a daughter from the Wang family. Annoyed, she just sent some congratulatory gifts as usual. Unexpectedly, the daughter of the Wang family gave birth to brother Lian after less than a year since she entered the house!

Focusing on this point, Jia Min suddenly felt that Lian's daughter-in-law is a daughter of the Wang family. Almost as old as my niece.

Just when Jia was sensitive, Daiyu asked curiously, "Why did Lian's second sister-in-law give birth prematurely?"

In Xiao Daiyu's memory, when Xiao Daiyu arrived in the capital, sister Qiao was already two years old, her body was not in good health, and there were always three disasters and five disasters. Just like her, it all depends on the Rongguo Mansion. Medicine is supported.

Later, the Rongguo mansion ransacked the house and was rescued by Nanny Liu. After marrying into the Ban'er family, there was no way to take medicine all the time. As a result, her body became weaker and weaker. After barely giving birth to a daughter, she died of illness.

Looking at it now, sister Qiao's body has been in poor health, probably due to the fact that she was born prematurely.

When Daiyu asked about this, even Jia Min looked a bit puzzled.

For a family like them, it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no backyard private affairs at all in the family, but it is a bit too much to have a premature birth, or even to the point of confinement. After all, Mrs. Wang is Lian's brother. The daughter-in-law's aunt, Mrs. Wang has been in charge of the family for many years, so Wang Xifeng should never have been tricked.

Embarrassed face appeared on Lai Nanny's face, and she stammered: "It's the maid who was by Lian's second master's side in the early years. She thought that Lian's second grandma could manage her well. Sprinkled with oil, this is..."

Jia Min was slightly puzzled, "Didn't the housemaid next to my brother should have been dispatched long ago before getting married?"

This is also an old rule in the Rongguo Mansion. Every master will inevitably have two big maids who teach personnel affairs before they get married. , like her two older brothers, and brother Zhu, how did it change when she came to brother Lian?

Nanny Lai felt a little embarrassed, "Second Master Lian is used to being served by these two maids, so he really couldn't bear it, so Tete went to beg the second wife. The second wife couldn't hold back Second Master Lian, so Tete allowed them to stay. Well, how would you know that these two maids dared to use shameful thoughts to harm Second Grandma Lian, but fortunately Second Grandma Lian, both mother and daughter are safe."

Of course, the two maids couldn't stay after this incident. The old lady directly asked people to sell her family to the black coal yard, and all the face in these lifetimes was lost.

Originally thought it was enough to explain the matter to this point, but Jia Min pondered for a long time, and finally sighed: "I thought the second wife loved her niece, it seems that I was wrong."

Nanny Lai didn't dare to answer these words, so she became quiet for a while.

To be honest, only Wang Xifeng couldn't see this matter clearly, and other discerning people would not understand it. The second wife of Piansheng Lian was coaxed by the second wife, so how can everyone be troublesome.

Jia Min sighed slightly, and turned to ask about the child again. Nanny Lai breathed a sigh of relief, she really answered every question, and explained everything in detail.

As for the child alone, Nanny Lai and Jia Min seemed to have a lot to say. After talking for half an hour, Jia Min really cared about her natal niece and grandniece. Mammy.

Even though the addition of a big family is a big deal in Jia Min's eyes, it might not be as important as Baoyu sneezing if it falls in the Rongguo Mansion, and Nanny Lai just followed the crowd on the day the little girl was born. Take a look, it's so clear there.

Fortunately, the children are all the same, Nanny Lai also has a grandson, and Li Daitao can speak well when he is stiff.

Jia Min and Nanny Lai talked for a long time, but they never gave a definitive answer, but Nanny Lai was overwhelmed by Jia Min's hundreds of questions about the child, so if she dared to stay any longer, she would hurry Leaving, I forgot to ask Jia Min a question.

After Nanny Lai left, Jia Min sighed slightly, "Mother is still old."

Not to mention the mess in Brother Lian's room, if in the past, mother would have received the news as soon as she returned to Beijing, then she would not know the news of her return to Beijing until three days later, which shows that mother is really serious. As he got older, he gradually lost control over the Rongguo Mansion.

Daiyu raised her eyebrows slightly. She is already 70 years old, and it is normal for her to be mentally ill. Isn't there a good example in that palace?

If it hadn't been for the fact that Shengshang hadn't delegated power at a very old age, maybe the government wouldn't be in chaos. Thinking of the current chaotic court, Daiyu couldn't help worrying about Tu Lei.

Daiyu smiled and asked, "Mother, are we going to Rongguo Mansion?" She pursed her lips deliberately, "Rongguo Mansion doesn't like us, and I don't like him either."

Without the wise and powerful uncle from the previous life, and the fact that Mrs. Jia used her family for human affairs from time to time, Daiyu has no good impression of this Rongguo Mansion at all, so it's worth noting not to go.

But I'm afraid that my mother can't get in the way of the family relationship, and then old lady Jia will take advantage of her again.

Jia Min laughed, "The Rongguo Mansion doesn't like you?"

Daiyu wrinkled her nose on purpose, and said angrily, "If the Rongguo Mansion cares about us, why would they trade our family with the Zhen family?"

Jia Min was taken aback, and immediately remembered the Zhen family's poisoning of Brother て, her original expectations for her mother also faded, she pondered for a long time, and finally sighed: "After all, I still have to go."

How should I put it...that's her own mother.

Because of Daiyu's words, Jia Min hesitated to take Brother [-] to Rongguo Mansion, but Mother Jia sent word to her that she must take Brother [-] there, saying that she wanted her granddaughter and grandson. She thought very much, this time she came to the capital with great difficulty, and she wanted to see her no matter what she said.

Although the whole Lin family gave a big discount to Jia Mu's words "thinking very much", after thinking about it, Jia Min still took Brother ヒ to Rongguo Mansion together. Without it, it would be even more dangerous to leave brother wu in the Lin residence than to go to the Rongguo mansion.

Rongguo Mansion is considered a coward in Beijing, plus she has been married to the Lin family for many years, the servants of Lin Mansion and Rongguo Mansion have always been in close contact, so there is no guarantee that some of the servants in the mansion will collude with Rongguo Mansion.

In addition to the matter of Zhen Li, they had only returned to Beijing for only three days, and there were many more people around the Lin Mansion. When the two children used the abandoned courtyard of the Lin Mansion to play in the wilderness to survive, the two children more than once It seems that outsiders have sneaked in this mansion.

The Lin family is short-handed, and they can't figure out who those people have two hearts, and it's not clean at the moment. If Brother ス is left alone in the mansion, if she is killed by a wrong eye, she will be killed. How to explain to Lin Ruhai?

Therefore, after Jia Min thought about it, she still brought brother て with her. At worst, she asked the nanny to pay attention to it, so as not to let brother ラ eat indiscriminately.

Ever since, Jia Minte picked Jia Zheng's holiday and went to Rongguo Mansion with his two children.
