The Lin family of the Red Chamber has a son

But it is said that after Lin Zhixiao's family returned to Rongguo Mansion, they went all the way to see Jia Mu.At that time, Jia Mu was serving dinner.

Although Yingchun went back to Jiashe's courtyard to live in before, but after visiting relatives in Yuanchun, there was a sudden order that all the younger sisters in the mansion move to live in the courtyard.Mrs. Xing is happy to occupy a place inside, so as not to look like she is the second bedroom.As for Jia Amnesty, after the incident, Yingchun had already been forgotten, and if there were noble concubines in the palace, how could he interfere?So now Yingchun has to be with Tanchun Xichun again.Every day, the three sisters come to Jia Mu's place to say hello, but they get along very well.

Just as Aunt Xue, mother and daughter were there, Mother Jia took the main seat, Aunt Xue was on the left, Baoyu Baochai and Yingchun sisters were sitting on the right.Because of Aunt Xue's presence, it was not easy for Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang's two sisters-in-law to stand and serve, so they simply asked everyone to sit around, even Li Wan was no exception.

The maids passed the dishes back and forth, but Lin Zhixiao's family outside did not dare to go in, they just stood on the porch and waited.

After dinner inside, Lin Zhixiao's family went to the corridor and said outside the door: "Go back to the old lady, the things for Miss Lin have been delivered."

As soon as the words fell, a girl from inside came out and said: "The old lady asked Mrs. Lin to come in."

Lin Zhixiao's family hurriedly dusted off their clothes and entered the house respectfully.

Mother Jia was sitting on the couch, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and others were all sitting in chairs on the ground drinking tea, but Baoyu was sitting in front of Mother Jia, with a very eager look on her face.

"Go back to the old lady. Miss Lin greeted the old lady and thanked our mother for her reward. She talked for a while before she called back." listen to say.

As expected, Mother Jia was satisfied, and asked with a smile, "Looking at Miss Lin, is it all right? What are you doing at home now?"

Lin Zhixiao's family hurriedly laughed and said: "If you say that Miss Lin is actually capable now, the girls in the whole son's house can take care of her well! When the slaves first came in, there was a daughter-in-law who was going to do it. If there is no girl, it will be fine." Dare to be self-reliant. Looking at it coldly, Miss Lin's complexion is much better than before. Miss Lin said that the old lady is relieved."

"Okay, okay, don't worry!" Mother Jia nodded with a smile.

Seeing Lin Zhixiao's family standing there, Baoyu didn't seem to have anything else to say, so he was anxious and asked, "Is sister Lin coming or not for the funeral ceremony tomorrow?"

As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I felt the old lady's hand on my shoulder tightened a little.Being pinched by her, Baoyu also felt a little regretful about his quick talk—even if he didn't ask, how could the old lady not ask?

He secretly raised his eyes and looked at Mrs. Wang who was sitting below. Seeing that she was still smiling, she couldn't see anything unusual, so she was relieved a little, and then turned to look at Lin Zhixiao's family.

In fact, Jia Mu doesn't need to ask, she can know a thing or two.If Daiyu really complied, with Lin Zhixiao's family being so well behaved, why didn't she say it first to please her?

Sure enough, the voice of Lin Zhixiao's family was a little lower, and he replied: "Miss Lin is preparing for marriage...I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time..."

Baoyu only heard the word "preparation for marriage", and her ears were buzzing as if she had been hit hard.Lin Zhixiao's family was talking again, but they didn't hear it.He knew about Daiyu's engagement a long time ago, but he never dared to think about it in his heart.Whenever I think of Daiyu, I always feel like a needle is pricking my heart, and it hurts like a panic.

Sitting behind him, Jiamu sighed when she saw him lower his head for a moment.It's not that she doesn't know Baoyu's mind, but it's too late to say anything now.What kind of family is the Lin family married with now?Hou Mansion, the eldest princess's son, just this family name, even when his own ancestors were around, can't compare.What's more, the Supreme Emperor bestowed both marriage and characters, whoever has eyes can't tell that this dignity is actually for An Lehou?

Helplessly, he patted Baoyu on the shoulder. Seeing that there were still sisters Yingchun in the room, he couldn't say anything else. He just smiled and said, "It's the right way. It's different when you have someone else, and you need to have more rules."

Seeing that the sisters-in-law were a little uncomfortable, Li Wan got up and smiled and said, "Old lady, I just got a few fancy looks there, how about taking a few younger sisters to have a look?"

Jia Mu laughed and said, "I know you've always been dexterous, so I wish I could give you some pointers."

"Yes." Li Wanfu agreed, and went out with three Yingchun and Baochai.

Jia Mu patted Baoyu here and said with a smile, "Go with your sisters and sisters too. I'm here to talk to your wife."

Baoyu looked at Mrs. Wang and went out listlessly.Xiren and Qiuwen in the room outside hurriedly followed.

Mother Jia smiled at Aunt Xue and said, "When the girl grows up, she has to think about all these things. Let me do the math, this Lin girl is even younger than Bao girl and Ying girl. Who would have thought that she could What about getting the attention of the nobles in the palace? Sigh, we are going to leave the court now, and the people we are marrying are such people, if I, Min'er and Young Master Lin are still here, they must be happy to see it."

Mrs. Xing felt that the relationship between the big house and the Lin family was good these days. At any rate, did they find an errand for Jia Lian?What's more, the second room at the Lin family also suffers, and the old lady has also been humiliated. Although it's hard to say it clearly, she is really happy in her heart.

Hearing what Mother Jia said, she smiled and said, "Isn't it? Although I don't have a biological child, I know what it means to be a mother. Which one, don't look after your children, even if you close your eyes, you can feel at ease Woolen cloth?"

These words hit Jiamu's lungs, and he gave her a cold look.Mrs. Xing shut up immediately.

Jia Mu sneered and said, "Okay, let's accept all these words. At the beginning, you were going to take the second girl out, saying that you were looking after her. Now these days have passed, and the mother-in-law is done, but there is one Do you believe it? How old is Ying girl? Only a few months younger than Bao girl? She has nothing to say as an older sister, so what about the three girls and four girls? If you put it here with me, could it be that you are so indifferent, and you can't meet the girl for the rest of your life?"

These words were heartbreaking, Mrs. Xing hurriedly stood up and listened, not daring to reply.Mrs. Wang was a little gloating at first, but when she heard that, she felt that Jia's mother's words had even passed on to herself and her younger sister. Although she was furious, she could only listen.

Aunt Xue was quite embarrassed, and her heart was full of displeasure.It turns out that Baochai is now her heart disease.Their girls are all thirteen or fourteen years old, and they are already optimistic about others and engaged in marriage, and they will go out when they are in their prime years.But Baochai is in his early 17s this year, and the marriage has not yet been settled.Although my sister discussed with me earlier, it was a pity that I didn't have any evidence.Although my sister wouldn't deny it, but the old lady was still there.If she didn't speak, I'm afraid that the second master would not be willing either.My sister told me to use money to build a garden before, and she said it nicely. In the future, I will let the empresses in the palace make the decisions, so that I can just feel at ease.But although the empress praised Baochai for her kindness when she was visiting relatives, she didn't say anything about it.What's the matter, I asked my sister twice, openly and secretly, and she said it was not in a hurry.

Not urgent?Aunt Xue was a little suspicious, how could she not be in a hurry?Baoyu is a man, so he is not in a hurry, but Baochai can't wait!Wait, wait until what year and month?

Aunt Xue was also afraid that this matter would be unreliable. Who would have thought that in March, the empress would come out with another order, ordering all the girls in the Rong Mansion to live in the Xingqin villa, even Baoyu moved in.He personally pointed out that Yihongyuan lived with Baoyu, and pointed out that Hengwuyuan, the second largest place in the garden, lived with Baochai.The three Yingchun sisters were chosen by themselves.

This meaning is obvious.Only then did Aunt Xue let go of her heart.

But before the end of the conversation, the old lady just pretended to be stupid and ignored this quarrel.

Aunt Xue heard what Jia Mu said, and she hated in her heart——This old lady is clearly trying to teach the eldest daughter-in-law a lesson, but isn't she just mocking herself secretly?Among the girls, Baochai is the biggest.

Mother Jia had a fit, and saw the two daughters-in-law standing there bowed and listening, no matter what they were feeling, they looked passable.It's not easy to say anything now, I just waved my hands in a tired gesture: "I'm also worrying about it. You, my mother, feel sorry for the children anyway, don't just care about your own fun, and miss a few girls."

Seeing the look on her face, Yuanyang hurriedly handed her a cup of warm tea.Mother Jia took it and drank it, handed the teacup to Yuanyang, and then turned to Aunt Xue and said, "Don't joke, Ma'am, I'm old now, and I've experienced everything. I'm not talking about eating and playing, but I know everything. When we arrive, there are nine out of ten. The poor girls are still girls like flowers. If this life-long event is not resolved, even if I go to see the Duke, I will be ashamed." Saying that, she called Yuanyang again. Hold the lamp.

Aunt Xue forced a smile on her face, and said after a long while: "Actually, tell me, old lady, you worry too much. Why don't the eldest lady and elder sister love the girl? Naturally, they are paying attention. It is because of love that this Don't you have to be more careful? Besides, there are empresses in the palace. What kind of people can't find them?"

Jia Mu nodded and smiled, but her lowered eyelids were slightly relaxed, covering up the coldness in her eyes.

But Baoyu came out of Jia Mu's yard, looked up and saw that Li Wan had gone away with Yingchun and the others.So he didn't chase after him, just followed behind sleepily.It was already dark when we entered the Grand View Garden, and Baoyu suddenly turned another corner and only went to Yihong Courtyard where he lived.Xiren Qiuwen looked at each other in blank dismay, but did not dare to ask, and hurriedly followed.

After entering the yard for a while, Qingwen and a few girls were feeding the birds with snacks.Seeing Baoyu coming back, they all went over with a smile, but Qingwen didn't move, and threw out the broken dim sum in her hand one by one, watching the birds on the ground scrambling for it.

Baoyu felt very uncomfortable and ignored them, but went into the house by herself to lie crookedly.

Seeing that something was wrong, Musk Moon whispered to Xi Ren, "What's the matter?" She pointed to the room.

Xiren shook his head, and lowered his voice, "I'll go and have a look. Don't just play around, it won't be good if you make trouble with him."

With that said, he went in with his skirt in hand.

Qingwen sneered from behind, threw out all the snacks in her hand, clapped her hands and went back to the house.

There was no electric light in the room, and Xiren didn't have time to light it up, so he looked through the dim light. Baoyu was lying flat on the bed, staring blankly at the curtain not moving.

Speaking of which, Xiren really knew what he was thinking, but it was just for Miss Lin.After thinking for a while, Xiren walked over and sat by the bed, gently pushed Baoyu, and said softly: "It's okay, don't do that. If you have something on your mind, even if I'm stupid, I can listen to you." Say it, it will make me feel better."

Baoyu said nothing.The attacker took his hand and persuaded him in a low voice.After a long time, Baoyu said: "I just said that everyone will be together anyway..."

Seeing him in a daze, Xiren didn't dare to persuade him very much, so he got up and lit the lamp, covered him with the gauze quilt, and sat aside and fanned himself.Seeing that Baoyu gradually closed her eyes, she felt relieved, thinking that the unhappiness caused by hearing the word "Miss Lin" has passed.

If she knew that at this time Baoyu had another muddled idea in her mind, and caused a disaster a few days later, she would not have given up so early.
