[Red Mansions] Minruo Spring Breeze Returns to Dream

No.60 First time Jia Min and second rejection of Jia's mother's wishes

"Sister Lin, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Jia Baoyu approached with a playful face.

"Second cousin's words are so stupid, we only met in September." Lin Daiyu moved away, put down the teacup and stood up, "Speaking of which, I have to go to Mrs. Xue's family to say hello. Is there any It's not polite to not greet the hostess after coming to the door. Sister Xue, please someone take me to the front." I thought it was a gathering between a few girls, but what did Jia Baoyu come here for? There is no gap.

"Then what's the matter? At that time, I didn't even have a chance to talk to my sister." Jia Baoyu didn't seem to notice Lin Daiyu's indifferent attitude towards her, or Lin Daiyu's indifferent attitude made him more frustrated and courageous, "In the end It's my aunt's fault, I'm keeping sister Lin in the house and not asking you to play with us."

Jia Yingchun felt something was wrong when she heard this, and before she could stop Jia Baoyu from talking nonsense, she saw Lin Daiyu standing up abruptly and looking at Jia Baoyu coldly.

"My mother is also the aunt of the second cousin, please show some respect!" Lin Daiyu is not a clay figurine, she was brought up by Lin Jinshu, who let Jia Min protect Lin Ruhai and spoil her, "talking about it behind her back My aunt really doesn't have any rules." After saying that, she opened the curtain and walked out, but Xue Baochai chased her out and refused to go back no matter how much she persuaded her.

Xue Baochai had no choice but to be sent to the front.Originally, she disapproved of calling Baoyu, but her mother and aunt both said that because Jia Baoyu felt bored studying at home school, she asked him to come out loosely; she also said that this time she only invited people she knew well A few girls from the Zhen family came over, and none of the Zhen family and the Department of Internal Affairs family posted posts, so nothing happened.It's all over now, the girl from the Lin family is so upset, and she doesn't know what her mother thinks.In the final analysis, it was also Baoyu's fault, why did she say that her mother was wrong in front of Miss Lin!

"Xiangling, go in and greet Sister Shi and the three sisters of the Jia family. I'll come as soon as I go." Xue Baochai sighed helplessly, and followed to the front yard.You can't let others think that the Xue family's poor greetings made the girls unhappy. This time she went to the front together to greet the wives, and let others know that the Xue family's girls are polite.

"Jia Baoyu has always been an uneducated person, so why are you angry? It's not worth it if you get angry." Seeing Lin Daiyu running out with a bad face, Jia Min knew that something must have happened.Coincidentally, Peiwen told someone that something happened in the mansion and asked her to go back to preside over it, so Jia Min simply took Li En and Lin Daiyu back to the mansion.

"What kind of thing is that Jia Baoyu? He has no rules at all!" Lin Daiyu snorted, "If it weren't for such a coincidence that something happened in the mansion, I would have to sue him. The little girl is here, why don't you put my second cousin in the backyard, he is obviously on the Xue family's side!"

"Sister thinks something is really wrong? It's just my mother's plan to get out after discussing with me last night." Li En laughed, "Mother said that our family has nothing to do with Xue's family, but we can't find an excuse to refuse for the time being, so I just came up with such a way, half an hour after we arrived at Lixiangyuan, Aunt Peiwen sent someone to say that the house was busy, and we could leave justifiably, without making people feel that our family is arrogant , People don’t appreciate face after invitation over and over again.”

"So that's how it is." Lin Daiyu suddenly realized, "It's just that I'm still very unhappy. That Jia Baoyu's outspokenness is really annoying!"

"If you don't like it, let's not go in the future." Jia Min patted Lin Daiyu's back comfortingly, "You are almost ten years old now, and you should learn more about housekeeping from me or your sister-in-law. The weather is also cold now, your body is always delicate, and it is not easy to go out often in winter." At the end, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"Speaking of which, this Xue family is really strange. I remember that the Xue family also had a house in the capital. Why didn't they live in their own home, but they wanted to live in someone else's house? The second wife of the Rongguo Mansion is the wife of the Xue family. My own sister, but being a sojourner is different from being a school of your own." Li En said, "I really can't understand it."

"How do we outsiders know about the twists and turns here? Maybe we think it's a good choice to have a relationship with the Rongguo Mansion." Jia Min said softly, "The affairs of the two of them have nothing to do with our family, and there is no need to go Get to the bottom of it. Yu'er, from today onwards, I will hand over our two villages in the suburbs of Beijing to you to take care of them, so you have to study hard."

"My daughter understands." Lin Daiyu nodded.

Mother Jia heard about what happened that day when the Xue family was entertaining guests. Originally, she wanted to invite Jia Min or Lin Daiyu over to the house, and hold a banquet for Jia Baoyu to make amends. There is no text.Seeing that the snow outside was getting bigger and bigger, and it was hard for Jia Mu to ask Jia Min or Lin Daiyu to go out in the severe cold and heavy snow, so she had to stop thinking about it.She couldn't bear to criticize Jia Baoyu, but Jia Zheng heard about it. After beating Jia Baoyu severely, he was detained in the home school and not allowed to go out.

After the new year, the weather gradually warmed up, and Mother Jia couldn't tell Jia Zheng to let go, even relying on her status as an elder, so she had to ask someone to take a car to Lin's residence.Originally, she wanted to send Mrs. Xu, but Lian'er's daughter was caught in the cold in winter, and Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Lian took care of her all the time; then she thought that this matter was about the second wife, and Jia Zheng always liked her as a direct relative. Little sister, as long as Jia Min speaks to persuade, maybe Jia Zheng will make such a tone.

"Ma'am, the old lady of Rongguo Mansion is here." Cui Liu said.

Jia Min frowned slightly, and put down the ledger in his hand.Seeing this, Li En, who was discussing the affairs of Yangzhou Zhuangzi with her, took Lin Daiyu to leave first.Jia Min gave a "hmm" and said, "Please come in."

"Where is Yu'er, why haven't you seen her?" Jia Mu asked as soon as she sat down.

"I asked Shu's daughter-in-law to take her down to ask her to take care of the housekeeper. After all, it's not too young." February [-]th's birthday has passed, and Lin Daiyu is also ten years old. It's time to learn how to take care of family affairs.In her previous life, no female elders taught her how to manage the house, so that all the property in the family was plundered. In this life, Jia Min must be good at teaching her.

"How old is Shu's daughter-in-law, so you let her teach Yu'er about housekeeping?" Jia's mother was not at ease. A young newlywed should learn from her mother-in-law. Why do you let her What about teaching people?

"Shu's daughter-in-law looks young, but she has a steady temper, so I don't worry." Jia Min saw what Jia Mu meant at a glance, and drank a cup of tea before saying, "After all, she is a girl from the empress's mother's family. The family education is also strict, and the knowledge is also good. Lin's family has shops and Zhuangzi in Yangzhou and the capital, and it is right to give some of them to her for cooking. After all, this family business will belong to Shu'er in the future, and it is better to let Shu's daughter-in-law take over in advance .”

It was only then that Jia's mother remembered that the Lin family had a great fortune, but it was a pity that the number of people was small. Wasn't the wealth accumulated over the generations just given to Lin Jinshu?Then he said: "Speaking of which, I came today to ask you to persuade Zheng'er to make peace. He got angry this time and kept Baoyu in his home school. He asked him about his homework every three days. If he couldn't answer, he would be ruthless." Beat me up. Baoyu has always been weak, so how can it go on like this for a long time? I know that Baoyu said something wrong that day and offended Yuer, so why don't you ask me to host a banquet and ask Baoyu to accompany Yuer No one."

"In fact, it's good for the second brother to do this." Jia Min casually put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Rongguo Mansion is now owned by the eldest brother, and Baoyu is now the only son of the second bedroom. Fight for it? Baoyu's temperament is too arrogant, and now he is insisting on asking him to study, so that he will have a way out in the future. And Laner, after all, is Zhuer's child. As long as he is well-educated, why not worry about not being able to shine It's just that there is no need to hold this banquet. Yu'er has been very busy recently. In addition to studying poetry and books, I heard that her master is also planning to teach her to draw. In addition, she has to learn how to be a housekeeper recently. Time is running out."

Seeing that her words were all resolved by Jia Min one by one, Jia's mother held the hand of Yunwen crutch tightly, the veins on the back of her hand were protruding, she said in a cold voice: "Look at you, don't you want me to follow you?" Yu'er, grandson and grandson met?"

"What did mother say?" Jia Min raised her eyes, "If you want to see her, I'll ask Yu'er to come out and say hello to you." The implication is that Lin Daiyu will not be asked to go to Jia's mansion.

"...I know you are angry, but Baoyu has always had such a temper." When the plan failed, Jia's mother was moved again, "Pearl was forced too hard in the past... I looked at Baoyu I was afraid that he would repeat Zhu Er's mistakes, so I pampered him more. Baoyu's health is not very good, if this time is too tight, how can I make him sick? What happened to Zhu Er This time is enough..."

Jia Min didn't answer the conversation, just fiddled with the jade beads on his wrist.

Jia's mother continued her efforts and said: "Besides, in fact, Baoyu just wants to get close to Yu'er. After all, it's a cousin's cousin. It doesn't matter if you walk around more. And if the two children know each other well, they can even kiss each other more."

"Baoyu is already eleven, and Yu'er is also ten years old. It's nothing to be so close. If an 11-year-old boy can only hang out in the inner house, he's just a dude. If his mother loves him, she should teach him what a family is. That's what you do, son, not to keep him by your side." Jia Min said, "I have made it clear to my mother before that no matter how poor Yu'er's future husband is, he must be reliable and have a reputation. Besides, my mother clearly knows that my second sister-in-law and I have always been at odds, so why should I give Yuerping to Baoyu? Doesn’t this mean that my daughter is begging for life under her hands? If mother feels sorry for Yuer, there is no need to mention this in the future It's about Yu'er's reputation, I hope mother will think about it."

Mother Jia wanted to persuade her again, but seeing Jia Min's indifferent expression, she thought she had made up her mind, so she sighed and said, "Every time our mother and daughter talk, swords are on the verge of breaking out, how long has it been since we calmed down. Forget it, forget it! I won't mention the marriage of the two Yu'er anymore." After saying that, he walked out, only saying that he was going back to his residence.

Jia Min sat on the chair in a daze for a long time, and finally sighed after a while.
