Lin's Aunt in the Red Chamber

Chapter 16 The Birth of Wool Gloves

Lin Lan looked at Jia Min, and from the conversation between her and her brother, she could tell that her mother was partial and unreasonable, and from the occasional words between her mother and Nanny Song, she could also hear that this was a strong and arrogant mother. noble lady.

I don't deny that she may care about her daughter very much, but the influence on her sister-in-law is really bad.

"If you are not filial, it is wrong to forgive your elder brother. But if you treat your own children badly, it is your mother's fault. If your younger sister treats your elder brother badly, then your younger sister is wrong. If you are wrong, you are wrong. If you are right, you are right. Brother, am I right?"

Lin Lan looked at his elder brother, tugged at his beard, pouted and frowned and said, "A good boy should have the courage to admit his mistakes, and then correct it!"

Lin Hai touched the two small bags on his sister's head, smiled and nodded, "Lan'er is right."

The truth is understood even by children, and it’s not that the wife doesn’t understand, but she’s used to ignoring her brother-in-law, and her mother-in-law... Lin Hai bowed his head and took a deep breath behind his sister, and told his young children, bluntly that his dowry belonged to the second son , Niangzi Xiaochan only thinks that there is an explanation, and if she dare not resist, she can know what kind of person she is.

But he doesn't make comments. The son-in-law doesn't have much contact with his parents-in-law. It's all about being filial, and nothing else.

Jia Min felt a little embarrassed when he heard Lin Lan's childish words and Lin Hai's echo, but he couldn't refute it. Only when he grew up did he realize that his mother's dissatisfaction with his elder brother was indeed a kind of harm and unfair to his elder brother. , but from the perspective of a mother, how can it feel good if the child she gave birth to is not close to her?

She believed that her mother was unfair to her eldest brother, but she absolutely did not agree with her guess that Hu'er was her mother's first grandson, or the eldest grandson, there must be other reasons for what happened back then, but her eldest brother didn't know about it.

Glancing at Lin Hai quietly, Jia Min thought to himself, if he has a child in the future, can he raise it by his side?

"Brother will have nephews and nieces in the future, so let's take care of them by myself! Just take them and show them to my mother during the day." Lin Lan suddenly said, since the root of the discord between sister-in-law and her family is because elder brother She was raised by her grandmother , sister-in-law's mother is stubborn and ignorant, so they should raise their own children in the future!

It's enough for the mother to worry about herself, no matter how much she can't bear it.

Jia Min's face turned pale, thinking that Lin Hai and the others knew about her thoughts, she felt ashamed and ashamed.

"We'll talk about the future." Lin Hai didn't deny it, but he didn't refute it either, but he didn't think it was a good idea. The mother handed over the housekeeping rights, and the wife was busy with housekeeping and socializing every day in the future, so how much time would she have to take care of the children?

He didn't refute it just because something like his uncle just happened, which made him feel that children's education should start at an early age, and no matter how many children there are, they should not be partial.

"Ma'am, Mrs. Jia is here." Jia Min felt uncomfortable. She knew she was wrong, but she couldn't bear to face her elder brother. She felt even more uncomfortable when she watched the gossip between her husband and sister-in-law, as if she was ashamed. Thinking about it, the servant girl came to report, and Mrs. Xu came.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here? Don't you take good care of her?" Jia Min quickly got up and stepped forward to support Xu.

Xu's complexion was much better than before. He patted Jia Min's hand and said with a smile: "Your elder brother was annoyed when he returned home and said that he said something wrong. Don't you mind my sister? He has always been incapable of talking. "

Jia Min paused, lowered her head and said with red eyes: "It's not the elder brother's fault, I'm also at fault." Of course it's right for the elder brother to want to stay here to support his sister-in-law, but it's just that he didn't communicate well with the family, and the mother did have some prejudices .Although she felt uncomfortable, Lin Hai and Lin Lan talked about each other, and now she understands a little bit.

"Why did you return the golden beans?" Xu stretched out his hand to help Jia Min wipe away tears, and persuaded him: "If you are still angry, I will ask your elder brother to pay you back later."

Seeing Mrs. Xu coming, Lin Hai hugged Lin Lan, nodded, and left. When he went outside, Lin Lan heard Mrs. Xu's voice comforting Jia Min.

"Brother, have we been doing well, okay?" Lin Lan put his arms around Lin Hai's neck and shook his head, "I can tell my brother anything, and I can tell Lan'er anything, we don't quarrel."

"Well! We are different from them. We don't quarrel." Although they are younger sisters, the age difference between the two is too large. Since the birth of his younger sister, he has raised her as his daughter. He never thought that he would become a wife and follower in the future. Uncle-like relationship.Besides, his younger sister is well-behaved and sensible, and he will protect her for the rest of his life instead of his father, making her carefree.

Nanny Song looked at her little master, and saw that she had told the mistress about her relationship with the sixth young master of the Li family, but she couldn't get the words out of her mouth. After all, she was a slave, so the master knew it.

Mrs. Xu bowed her head for Jia She, and Jia She also yelled at Jia Min for years of grievances. The two siblings were awkward for a few days, and then returned to the past.

Jia Amnesty had an official position, so he found a house not far away for himself, and moved in after preparing to tidy it up.Seeing that Xianggong protects and takes care of him so much, even if he can't serve him, and he doesn't find any other concubines, Xu's heart is very sweet.Even if she returns to the Duke's mansion in the future and is tortured by her mother-in-law, she is in a good mood now.

"Eldest nephew, what are you doing?" Jia She and Jia Min reconciled after the quarrel, but Lin Lan saw the rift between them, but it had nothing to do with her. She had already done what she could, So I still happily study and play every day, and occasionally come to see the beautiful little brother who has a poor background and has been forgotten by the family, only to find out the secret of Jia Hu starting to practice martial arts.

Jia Hu was squatting on horseback, his face was covered with sweat. He was enlightened by his great-grandfather, and he was caught up in his studies. In addition, he had some talent, and the Jia family wanted to change his family, so he always valued literature over martial arts. , He never knew that practicing martial arts was so hard.

"He's practicing martial arts." Li Liu walked over from behind, took the umbrella from the servant's hand, and hit Lin Lan on the head to shade her from the sun.

Lin Lan blinked her eyes, looked up at the umbrella above her head, and then at the boy holding an umbrella beside her, immediately put Jia Hu behind her, and said cheerfully: "Brother Six, you are so kind!"

"Why just hold an umbrella?" Seeing her happy appearance, Li Liu couldn't help asking with a smile.

Lin Lan nodded vigorously, she is so beautiful and caring, it is the best in the world!

"Don't you love beauty? Why are you still running around in the sun?" Li Liu motioned Lin Lan to follow him back to the house, and asked as he walked.

Lin Lan wasn't going to say that she couldn't get a tan with Lingquan water, so she followed Li Liu with a satisfied face, and said cheerfully, "Come and see Brother Liu, I'm not afraid of the sun no matter how big it is!"

Li Liu chuckled, and looked at this little silly girl with some amusement, but felt a little soft in his heart.

"Brother Six, my eldest nephew, why did you suddenly start practicing martial arts?" After sitting down and drinking a glass of slightly cold grape juice, Lin Lan remembered Jia Hu who was squatting in the sun outside the house, and asked curiously.

Li Liu said casually: "In order to protect the people you want to protect, you must naturally become strong."

"Brother Six, you are so powerful in martial arts, do you have someone you want to protect?" Lin Lan stretched out his hand to pinch a piece of mung bean cake, took a bite, and asked curiously.

Hu's nephew is a typical miserable life where his parents are forced to work hard, and he must never do this.

Li Liu paused, took a big sip of water, and said, "My parents let me practice self-defense."

The mung bean cake was too sweet and greasy. After taking a small bite, Lin Lan didn't want to eat it anymore. Taking advantage of Li Liu's time drinking water, he broke off the part he had bitten, and secretly put the rest back on the plate.

"Hey! Sixth brother, do you think I want my brother to start practicing martial arts? After all, he will protect me, my mother, and sister-in-law Meimei in the future." Lin Lan dragged her chin, feeling the pleasant wind on the maid's fan, Looking at the embarrassed nephew Hu outside, he couldn't help but read.

Li Liu glanced at the plate with the mung bean cake, and casually pinched a piece, which happened to be put down by Lin Lan, and he stuffed it into his mouth without paying attention, and asked with a smile while eating, "Why don't you learn by yourself, I will protect you in the future Brother, sister-in-law and mother?"

"I'm loved by everyone, so I was born to be protected?" Lin Lan said as it should. If there are conditions, of course he should be protected. How tired is he thinking about protecting others all day long?

Li Liu chuckled, and threw the unfinished mung bean cake back to the plate. It was really sweet and stinky, not very appetizing. He squeezed a fruit and handed it to Lin Lan, suggesting, "Why don't you ask your brother to buy some martial arts masters?" It's easy for a maid to serve you personally."

"Warrior maid? Is it easy to buy?" Lin Lan asked directly.

Naturally, it is not easy to buy, but looking at the little girl's curious face, Li Liudao: "Why don't I give you some, the family prepared some for my sister earlier, and she didn't use them all."

Sure enough, he is beautiful and kind-hearted!Lin Lan thought that he was so generous because of the murder of his predecessor, but he also knew that there were not many places with aura, and there were not many martial arts practitioners around him and in his memory.

"I'll ask my elder brother to give you the money later, and I will never make things difficult for you, Brother Six." Lin Lan didn't want to take advantage of the younger brother's enthusiasm, so he just wanted to ask his elder brother to give him more money.

Li Liu didn't refuse either. He wanted to insert someone next to this interesting little girl, but after that incident, the Lin family's maids who were training this child were all born at home, and those who came from outside could not be sent in at all.

I can't say why I was attracted to this child, but seeing her happy every day, a little tiger disguised as a lamb, sending warmth to people everywhere, Li Liu found it very interesting.

Looking at the little girl's adoring and admiring eyes, Li Liu took out something from his arms and gave it to her. Lin Lan took it over and looked at it, his eyes widened in surprise.

A pair of wool gloves, although a bit rough, not as smooth and beautiful as in memory, but they are already very good, the wool is very clean, and there is a faint scent of flowers, even a flower is embroidered on the back of the gloves.

"Last time you said that you wanted the soft wool on the sheep's neck to make gloves. You can't do it. I have someone fix it. Try it. Although there are still some flaws, it is indeed as warm as you said."

Li Liu looked at Lin Lan holding the glove over and over again, and shook his head with a chuckle. Wool is not a difficult thing to find, but he never tried to deal with it. It is beneficial to the people. The wool twisted thread is woven into clothes. Even if it is rough and the cost is not high, the winter will be easier for the common people.

Lin Lan stared, pinching the glove, and suddenly felt that she seemed to have done something extraordinary?
