The Story of My Aunt in the Red Chamber

All the way to Yangzhou City, everyone went home and had a good rest for a few days.This trip is very tiring.

On the way back to Yangzhou from Jinling, Wang Zimeng told several children that he would go to the capital to celebrate the New Year this year.At first, the few people were quite happy, but then it suddenly occurred to them that Jia's family is all in the capital, and this time they will not be able to avoid their home when they come to Beijing!

Seeing the sad faces of the children, Wang Zimeng couldn't bear it, so he just told them that the Lin family lived in the Lin family's own house when they returned to Beijing, and the Jia family only needed to go back on the same day, which made the children a little happier, but it was gone. The anticipation at the beginning was off.

In order to go to Beijing this time, Wang Zimeng sent someone to Beijing in advance to repair the old house of the Lin family in Beijing when she was in Jinling. She didn't expect to live in Jia's house at that time.Besides, Daiyu and Baochai's mothers had to be taken away, as well as enough maids and enough clothes and jewelry.When they returned to Jinling, the two maids were too annoying, so they only brought two big maids, two second-class maids and a few changes of clothes.You can't do it when you come to Beijing. Others don't care, but Jia's family is full of snobbish eyes. If you are not prepared enough, they will treat you as a poor relative who came to fight the autumn wind!

When Lin Ruhai went to the yamen to sell holidays, Wang Zimeng was busy making new clothes and jewelry, and even a few nuns were called to help.The nuns also came from Beijing, so they knew the style of Jia's family, and they also helped to choose a lot of rich and auspicious but elegant patterns and colors.

So when I went to Beijing this time, I had several more boats than when I went to Jinling, and one of them was loaded with clothes and jewelry prepared by Wang Zimeng for Baochai and Daiyu, and even Xue Pan and Lin Ruhai had more. , Of course she didn't prepare herself less.There are also annual gifts for the Wang family and Jia family, and gifts for Lin Ruhai to visit his classmates and old friends.

Waiting for the time to be free, Wang Zi calculated the time and found that the day of Daiyu's filial piety was approaching, so he was tight on manpower to arrange this important event.Fortunately, although the preparations were in a hurry, everything was complete and thoughtful.

In this way, when Daiyu chose an auspicious day in addition to being filial, the Lin family and the Xue family entered the capital in a mighty way, under the name of inspecting salt and censors, and the journey was smooth.

When they arrived at the pier, Lin Da, the general manager of the Lin family who had gone to Beijing for rectification in advance, came to pay his respects. After consulting Lin Ruhai, he went to arrange chores.

Seeing that the arrangements were made, Lin Ruhai went to Li Cang in person to pick up Wang Zimeng, Daiyu and Baochai.On the other hand, Xue Pan, who is known for his age, has been by Lin Ruhai's side since today, and he has grown a lot under the influence of his ears and eyes.

This room has just disembarked from the boat, before the female relatives got into the carriage, someone from the other side said that Second Lord Jia from Rongguo Mansion has arrived.

Lin Ruhai looked at Wang Zimeng, Wang Zimeng shook his head, she didn't send anyone to inform them.Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and said, "In that case, please invite Second Master Jia over here."

"Lian Er has met Uncle Lin and Aunt Xue." A handsome young man came over, bowed down to worship Lin Ruhai and others.When Lin Ruhai yelled, he stood up straight and said, "Uncle Lin, the old majesty knew that Uncle and Sister Lin will be going to Beijing this year, so he tidied up the courtyard and waited for Uncle and Sister Lin to come!"

Thick eyebrows, phoenix eyes, straight nose, and thin lips, he looks like a flirtatious person. You can tell from the words that he is eloquent. No wonder Jia's foreign affairs are all entrusted to him!However, it's a pity, deep in the quagmire, with a wife who can do it again, and Mrs. Wang staring fiercely at the back to find faults at any time, there is no day to come out!

It's a pity that Jia Lian is one thing, but it's another thing to let him talk about it and ruin the reputation of the Lin family.Wang Zimeng patted Daiyu and Baochai's hands, stood beside Lin Ruhai, looked at Jia Lian and said, "Lian Er is here, and he didn't say hello."

Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, then bent down again to greet Ann, "Jia Lian has seen Auntie."

Wang Zimeng rolled her eyes, she actually heard Jia Lian's greeting, but this is not finding fault! "Yo, Second Master Lian, I really can't afford to be called aunt. This Feng girl is my own niece. Although your second aunt is my own sister, you should call me aunt with Feng girl instead of you. Jia Baoyu called Auntie. Remember it in the future, otherwise, if Feng girl turns against you, Auntie will not save you!"

Hearing Wang Zimeng's words, Jia Lian's face turned pale and green, secretly thinking about where he had offended this "aunt", so he smiled and said, "Auntie, auntie knows that your family is going to Beijing, and has prepared a guest room, so let's go." Waiting for you to go!"

"Hehe, it's a waste of money for my sister! But, no need, I have a good relationship with your sister Lin, and I'll just live in her house when the time comes. Otherwise, your uncle's house is also in Beijing, so it's good to live in their house. Your second aunt has a mother-in-law and a sister-in-law, so I won't go and cause trouble." Wang Zimeng spoke softly, but the words he said were not so pleasant.

Jia Lian endured it, bowed to Lin Ruhai and said, "I don't know what Uncle Lin means?"

"I don't mean anything. Since my Lin family has its own home, how can I live in someone else's house. You go back and tell the old lady that I came to Beijing to meet the saint. Make arrangements." Lin Ruhai's words sounded better than Wang Zimeng's, but unfortunately they all mean the same thing, not going to live at your Jia's house.

Jia Lian was also smart, knowing that he could not invite Lin Ruhai's family and Wang Zimeng's family to live in Jia's mansion today, so he resigned directly, saying that he would go to Lin's mansion to pay his respects in a few days.

After dismissing Jia Lian, Lin Ruhai brought Wang Zimeng and the others back to the Lin family.Because someone came to the front station, all the rooms in the Lin Mansion were almost tidied up, as long as you tidy up your personal belongings.Taking advantage of the time when everyone was familiar with tidying up, Wang Zimeng took people to the kitchen and cooked two dishes that everyone liked before going back to the room to freshen up. .

An hour later, Lin Ruhai, Wang Zimeng and others gathered in the hall, and after ordering the servants to arrange the dishes, Wang Zimeng said, "Today, the chef cooked two dishes. You guys didn't eat well on the boat. Today I want Eat more. Especially Daiyu and Baochai, you grew up in the south, you may not be used to the winter in the north, you should pay attention to keeping warm on weekdays, you know! Paner, you live in the outer courtyard by yourself. Others don't take it seriously when they are strong, if you are sick, let's see how Mom will deal with you."

Wang Zimeng told each of them once, and when he saw Daiyu making faces with Baochai, he just pretended not to see them.Turning around, she said to Lin Ruhai, "You should also keep warm yourself. The north is colder than the south. If you don't take care, you will get sick again!" Lin Ruhai nodded, promising to pay attention.

After dinner, Wang Zimeng was worried, so he ordered all the personal servants to order before going to rest.

Not to mention the warm dinner here at the Lin family, here Jia Lian is also replying to Mrs. Jia's words.

"Lian'er, where are your Uncle Lin and Sister Lin? Why didn't you receive it?" Mrs. Jia asked while sitting on the kang with a tea bowl.

"Returning to the old lady, Uncle Lin said that it is the court's practice that officials from other provinces must first meet the Holy Spirit when they come to Beijing, and then they can visit others. Therefore, Uncle Lin said that after meeting the Holy Lord, he will bring Sister Lin to visit the old lady first. Your Majesty." Seeing the old matriarch's stern face, Jia Lian didn't dare to say anything, and only told the old matriarch what had happened.

"Oh, there are other things. That's right, our house is far away from the imperial court, and there are some rules that we don't know. Okay, you go down, I'll take a rest." The tone of Mrs. Jia did not change, but Let Jia Lian go down and fall asleep under the service of Yuanyang. After all, she is not stable. Let Yuanyang call Jia Lian secretly, and after giving such and such orders, she can lie down in peace.

The author has something to say: Hey, I just came back these days, I'm a bit busy at work, please forgive me.

Ah, Ah Luo actually forgot such a big thing as Daiyu's removal of filial piety. It's about this time, but fortunately, it's still too late. .please forgive me. .
