The Red Mansion's Late Welcome Spring

As Mother Chen guessed, after Mrs. Wang and the others left, Mother Jia also gradually calmed down, and the more she thought about it, the more weird she felt, and then she called everyone Lai, and asked her to go to Haosheng to find out what happened in the palace recently. No news came out.

Everyone Lai knew what happened in Mother Jia's room earlier, so they naturally understood what Mother Jia was referring to, so they agreed with each other conveniently, then exited the door, turned around and went to find out about the news from her head.

A few days later, everyone Lai reported to Mother Jia the news that the two nuns had revealed to Jia Yingchun that day.

"I thought Mrs. Xue was just talking casually. I didn't expect this to happen. But according to what you mean, the emperor has not officially issued a decree. He just ordered people to send a handbook to the localities to make them choose first, right?" After hearing the words, Jia Mu thought for a while, and Fang asked again.

"Yes, I think the reason why my aunt knew the news earlier than us is probably because of this." Everyone Lai replied with a smile.

Not to mention Jia's mother, it is not impossible for the court draft to drag on for two or three years. The last time Jia Yuanchun entered the palace was three or four years ago, and it was only because of the grace of the new emperor. If it weren't for the empty harem and few children , the emperor may not be willing to accept concubines again.

"Well...you tell Lai Da to pay attention to the news in the palace. Our family doesn't need many people to enter the palace to compete with Yuan girl, but those who can avoid it should be avoided earlier." Jia Mu nodded, lightly commanded.

"Uh?...Understood." Everyone Lai was stunned for a moment, and then quickly responded.

After Lai left, Mother Jia closed her eyes again and remained silent. Although Yuanyang felt that Mother Jia's behavior was a bit puzzling, she didn't ask any further questions. Seeing that it was still early, she stepped forward and called out in a low voice. "If you don't want to go to the old lady, go to bed and rest."

"Do you think this timing is too coincidental? Did everyone already know about this?" Mother Jia asked without thinking.

"Huh? What does the old lady mean? It shouldn't be possible, right?" Yuanyang was slightly taken aback, and then understood what Jiamu meant, but in her opinion, Jia Amnesty didn't seem that smart, let alone Mrs. Xing.

However, Jia Mu has been the mistress of the Rongguo Duke's Mansion for many years, and she has an attitude that she would rather kill by mistake than let it go, so no matter what, she believes that Jia She and his wife knew that the emperor was about to come down one step earlier than she did. Because of the news of the draft, there was the matter of Chen Zhou and the two foster nuns entering the palace, but how could she, who had already tried her best to send Jia Yuanchun into the palace, let the couple get what they wanted?

Jia's mother kept thinking about how to make the dream of Jia She and his wife come to nothing, but she didn't know that this time she was really guessed by the mandarin ducks. business?And Mrs. Xing didn't think about it at all, or she knew what kind of place it was like better than anyone else. Judging from her love for Jia Yingchun, it was absolutely impossible for her to give Jia Yingchun away. The idea of ​​getting in there.

The days flowed slowly in everyone's thoughts, and another new year passed between winter and spring.

Just after the first month, Lin Ruhai brought Lin Heng back to Suzhou to open the ancestral hall, and formally named Lin Heng as his son. Many people in the clan knew that Lin Zhong lived there for two or three months at the beginning, and he had some other purpose. While people are envious of Lin Heng's good luck, they can't help but regret why he didn't think of this at that time, and why he didn't perform well in front of Lin Zhong. That Lin Hai is different from them!Since he is a high-ranking official and has countless wealth, if his children are lucky enough to be favored by him, as long as they show them a little crumbs, it will be enough for them to eat and drink, but it is a pity that they have been picked up by a boy without a father or a mother. , they have no share.

It was mentioned earlier that Lin Heng was supported by relatives since he was a child. Among them, the closest blood relationship is his cousin Lin Quan. It is said to be similar, but it is really just similar. The relationship between the two families has to be traced back to the generation of great-grandfather to be the same Elders, but they are still within the fifth server.

Lin Ruhai graciously gave Lin Quan a big gift as a thank you for his kindness in nurturing Lin Heng in the past. Lin Quan knew that his status was different, and he was quite careful in his speech and attitude. trouble.

Lin Ruhai and his son only stayed in Suzhou for a few days, and then set off for the capital again. On the way, they wrote to the Duke of Rongguo's mansion to Jiamu and the two brothers-in-law, stating that they would report to Beijing in the near future. The heir, Cheng Huan, is at his knees. At that time, he will also lead the heir to the mansion to pay homage and see him.

When Jia's mother received Lin Ruhai's letter, she almost had brain congestion. She felt that Lin Ruhai didn't respect her at all, and didn't take Rongguo's mansion seriously. Do it!

But in spite of herself, Mother Jia knew that Lin Ruhai had completed all the formalities, so she had no room to comment, but she couldn't express her objection, but it didn't mean that she couldn't give the child some embarrassment, so she After thinking for a while, he asked someone to find Lin Daiyu.

"Girl Yu, I received a letter from Mrs. Lin today, saying that he will be going to Beijing to report on his duties in a short time." Jia Mu said lovingly.

"Really?! Father is going back to the capital?" Lin Daiyu exclaimed in surprise.

"Well, but... it seems that he didn't come to Beijing alone." The smile on Mother Jia's face disappeared after this sentence, and she changed into an angry expression, which showed her extreme dissatisfaction in her heart.

"Why is he not alone?! However, it is impossible for my father to go to Beijing alone. Naturally, I have to bring someone to serve him. Is there anything wrong with that?" Lin Daiyu said puzzledly.

"If I would say that, of course the person brought by Mrs. Lin would not be a servant. Has he never mentioned anything else to you?" Seeing Lin Daiyu's confused face, Jia's mother thought that Lin Ruhai had never mentioned it to her daughter. For that matter, I thought this was a really good opportunity, but I didn't expect it...

"Other things... hey?! Could it be my brother?! Father brought my brother to Beijing, didn't he? That's great! I've been wondering what my brother looks like." Lin Daiyu lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly said He looked up excitedly and smiled.

"So you already knew?" Seeing this, Jia's mother wondered what else she didn't understand?Her tone turned cold immediately, and she asked very unacceptably.

"Well... Father mentioned a little bit, but Yu'er was afraid that his father was joking with Yu'er, so he didn't dare to mention it to the old lady, but the old lady loves Yu'er so much, wouldn't she want to see another person love Yu'er? "Lin Daiyu saw that Jiamu's expression was inappropriate, and then she asked innocently.

"You... oh! You are too naive. Do you think having multiple brothers is a good thing? You must know that child has no blood relationship with you, and you don't know if he has a good character. If he bullies you in the future, What are you going to do? Don't you know that in patriarchal law, the status of an heir is equal to that of a parent? Everything left by Mrs. Lin in the future will belong to him. Is it a bad thing? You will have a hard time in the future, you should have told me earlier, anyway, I can palm your eyes for you, so as to save you from suffering in the future." Jia Mu said earnestly.

"The old lady loves Yu'er, and Yu'er knows it, but who said that Yu'er is a girl, and she is destined not to support her father until she grows old? If her father has an older brother, he can continue the incense. Every year, people offer incense to worship, so as long as the older brother is willing Filial piety to your father is enough, and Yu'er is fine." Lin Daiyu didn't know if she really didn't understand what Jiamu meant, or if she pretended not to understand, but when she mentioned her father, her face was full of admiration, and her tone was also the same. Quite firm.

"You silly child! How can it be okay?! Even if your brother thinks about your father, he won't think about the Duke of Rong. How can such a person who has no blood relationship be like us!" Mother Jia gritted her teeth, He rebuked loudly angrily.

"But the father has already decided, what does the old lady want Yu'er to do? Yu'er can no longer be filial to her father, how dare she hurt her father's heart again?" Lin Daiyu's eyes turned red immediately, but she still refused Answer according to Jia Mu's wishes.

Mother Jia was so blocked by Lin Daiyu's words, she really didn't know what to say for a while, could she tell her that your father will stop thinking about his daughter when he has a son?Or is it that your family's money will become someone else's? !You must know that some words can only be understood but cannot be conveyed in words, but it is impossible for Lin Daiyu, a child who is ignorant of common affairs, to understand how serious it is that more than half of the family property will be divided.

Looking at Lin Daiyu's bewildered and sad face, Jia's mother suddenly felt that this kind of thing really had to be done by her. If this girl was to bear it all by herself, she might not know why she was harmed by that unknown child in the future, so He didn't say anything to Lin Daiyu anymore, he just waved his hand indignantly and told her to go back, and he thought to himself, why don't she make a move when she suffers a loss and asks for help someday?Otherwise, if the shot is too fast and misses a hit, won't this kid think too much about her?

But does Lin Daiyu really not understand?Obviously not necessarily...Lin Daiyu just stepped out of the Jia Mu Yuan, and on the way back to Jia Mu Yuan, she didn't take a small car, but just ran forward all the way, seeing her stepping heavily on the ground, as if she wanted to feel a pain in her heart. As if venting her anger, Nanny Chen, who was chasing after her, couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw it.

Lin Daiyu walked all the way to the door of Feixue Pavilion, and then rushed into the main room in a fit of rage, rushed to Jia Yingchun, and then began to cry.

Jia Yingchun looked suspiciously at Nanny Chen who came in later, but when she saw Nanny Chen, she shook her head silently and sighed a few times, but she didn't mention what wronged Lin Daiyu suffered from Mother Jia, so Jia Yingchun didn't ask any more questions. He just patted Lin Daiyu on the back lightly.

After another half an hour, Lin Daiyu raised her head, and with red and swollen eyes, she asked anxiously: "Second sister, father must not be wrong, right? Brother must be good, right? ?”

"Of course it is. Haven't you heard that human nature is good? As long as you are willing to treat him well, he will naturally treat you well. You are afraid in your heart, I am afraid that he is more worried than you. Now that you have a brother-sister bond, if you still If you want to guard against me and I guard against you, what is the difference between those people you see here?" Jia Yingchun sighed softly and replied softly.

"That's good, that's good." Lin Daiyu rubbed against Jia Yingchun's body again as if feeling a little relieved, and fell asleep after a while.

Jia Yingchun thought about Lin Daiyu crying for so long, although her body was much better than when she first came here, she was still a child after all, so she didn't wake her up, Siqi saw Jia Yingchun moved her body, and made a gesture to pick up Lin Daiyu , she hurried forward to help pick up Lin Daiyu, and carried him to Jia Yingchun's bed to rest.

Seeing that Lin Daiyu had fallen asleep, Nanny Chen stepped forward to describe the situation in Jia Mu's room in a low voice, and then continued: "When the second girl asked me, I thought you said it casually. Speaking of which, I didn't expect Shi Taijun to really react so strongly to the matter of Master Lin's raising an heir, just seeing her keep instigating the girl, wanting the girl to make a fuss when Master Lin comes, I couldn't help but open my eyes again."

"The old lady has been flattered by our family for decades. I thought her words were the rules. How can I remember any etiquette? What laws? Just look at Baoyu's appearance, how can she look a bit educated? The so-called fearlessness The world is mediocre, to put it bluntly, old ladies are used to it." Jia Yingchun replied flatly.

Jia Yingchun had expected Mother Jia's reaction, but if she didn't want Lin Daiyu to see it with her own eyes, she would have spoken a few words of advice. She never thought that Lin Daiyu herself was shrewd and sensible, or would she deliberately use words to perfuse Mother Jia?But there are some things that she, as a junior, can't intervene in. It's better for Lin Ruhai to confront Jia Mu after he enters Beijing.
