The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

Lin Hai was awarded the title of Zhongzhengbo by sacrificing his life to save his family. Now that he has returned safely, he was exempted from saluting when he entered the palace to express his gratitude. All of a sudden, the residence of the uncle was very lively. It's like Chinese New Year.

Even though a pair of sons and daughters were there to help, one to keep accounts and return gifts and the other to support the warehouse, Jia Min was still so busy that Lin Hai was quite critical, thinking about going back to his ancestral home in Suzhou to live in peace, so that Jia Min would not be in trouble all day long. Zhang Luo entertained those irrelevant people.

It's a pity that he only mentioned it once, so Jia Min raised his eyebrows and reprimanded him once, disgusted that the busier he is, the more chaotic he is, and he has no plans when he is old, and he doesn't think about how to marry a daughter and a daughter-in-law after the family returns to their ancestral home, etc. Lin Hai repeatedly begged for forgiveness, and only dared to complain in private that he would no longer be hurt after the injury was healed, which made Daiyu Linzhang sister and brother laugh endlessly.

Daiyu is a girl, and she has always been pampered and pampered in the palm of her hand. Even if she accidentally smiled once or twice, Lin Hai would not take anything against her, but Lin Zhang made a serious note of it.When he got better again, he sorted out all the manuscripts he had written over the years in his study, and kindly instructed Lin Zhang on his studies in person, which can be called a model of a strict father.

Lin Zhang has to help Jia Min discipline, and also has to study hard under Lin Hai's supervision. The life is miserable all of a sudden, so it is inevitable to act coquettishly and foolishly to his loving mother behind his strict father's back.However, after going through more than half a year of changes, his loving mother was as hard as iron, and she was not moved at all, so he could only hold his nose and accept his fate, and worked harder.

Fortunately, Jia Min has always been a competent housekeeper, and Daiyu is extremely intelligent, so she can understand many things, but within two months, all the big and small affairs have been taken care of.

At this time, the aftermath of the palace change has dissipated, the people involved have come to a conclusion, and the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Criminal Justice no longer arrests officials and eunuchs and put them in jail.

The first time was a reward of human kindness, and the guests were the wives and ladies of people who had some contacts with each other. The family members of several adults who shared life and death with Lin Hai during the palace change naturally gathered together.These people have more or less made contributions in times of crisis, and their wives and daughters, and their families are much richer than before when they travel.Fortunately, in the past few months, most of the family banquets of meritorious ministers have been extremely ostentatious. It seems that the Lin family is still restrained and cautious in their actions, neither arrogant nor arrogant. broadcast.

After having a banquet with foreign guests, Jia Min invited several relatives in the capital by posting a list.Xue Baochai was pregnant and couldn't go out. The two marquises of the Shi family declined on the pretext of being involved in family affairs. Xue Wang's family and Shi Xiangyun all visited the house with the Jia family's female family members.

It's not that Jia Min doesn't want to let her natal family's family members sit with others. It's Jia's mother's order to ask for a separate order.Mother Jia herself was too old to spend too much time sitting at the banquet, and she was worried that Mrs. Xing Wang and Mrs. Xing would go to the banquet alone, for fear that they would lose the family's prestige. Simply set up a home banquet alone, so that you can say some intimate words.

This was the first time Jia Mu and Jia Min met after the drastic changes in Beijing and Central China. The mother and daughter couldn't help but cried for a while. Jia Mu just held her daughter and looked at her grandson carefully, unable to stop. To blame them, they acted a little too boldly, which made people feel uneasy. Jia Min choked up and pleaded guilty, and then elaborated on the pain in his heart. It was Daiyu who snuggled up to them and comforted her softly, and finally persuaded them. , put away the tears and talk about the big and small things these days.

Because Jia Min had a lot of private conversations with Jia Mu, the arrangements for the flower viewing banquet this time were very clever, and they were divided into three seats surrounded by the water, each separated by more than ten steps, Jia Mu and Jia Min Sitting opposite each other, Mrs. Xing Wang and Mrs. Xue sat at the same table, and the girls gathered together according to their ages, with silk and bamboo orchestras beside them, and no one could hear the voices of others except those nearby.

The elders are in harmony, and the girls are talking and laughing when they are rarely together.The Yingchun Tanchun sisters were afraid that Shi Xiangyun would break up with Daiyu just like a few years ago, so they intentionally or unintentionally blocked them, and they also intentionally choked off bad words when they were joking and joking, but ended up having a few drinks After drinking fruit, he realized that Shi Xiangyun's attitude towards Daiyu was acceptable, and he didn't mean to be mean, but the two of them made a big fuss, so he looked at each other and smiled, let go of his worries, and started talking and laughing.

Ying Tan's wit is a little bit worse than Dai Xiang's. Previously, they were distracted and avoiding taboos everywhere, and their chatting and laughing were unavoidably not enjoyable enough. Now they let go, and the sisters' relationship is really lively.

Shi Xiangyun debated poems with Daiyu and others first, and a few of you talked to each other, and it was very happy to admit defeat if you couldn't explain it.Yingchun is not good at poetry, the first one to sue Rao and punish himself for a drink, and then Tanchun also slipped his tongue and used the wrong code and asked Shi Xiangyun and Daiyu to slap and catch him, smiled and calmed down and drank a drink, only Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun were left It was hard to tell the winner, one stood and the other lay down, laughing and grabbing each other's words.Although the two Ying Tan were out of the game, one cheered for Daiyu and the other encouraged Shi Xiangyun, and they enjoyed it very much.

After arguing for more than half an hour, Daiyu and the others felt a little better, but Shi Xiangyun became a little drunk, his speech gradually became blurred, and he leaned on the pillow after covering his face with a handkerchief.Everyone knew that she was a drinker, so they couldn't help but wonder, so they counted the wine jugs beside her desk, and after counting, they found that she secretly drank more than twice as much as others, angry and laughing, busy He ordered the servant girl to help her into the house to rest.

Although Shi Xiangyun's body is soft, his mind is still clear.But as soon as she got drunk, she couldn't help thinking of her aunt's sternness in not allowing her to have any more contact with Xue Baochai, and Jia Baoyu's indifference as if she had lost her heart. If she is not allowed to leave the mansion, she can only take the opportunity to avoid people and rest for a while.

Lin Daiyu greeted the girls at the table today, and Shi Xiangyun was drunk, so she naturally wanted to go and accompany her, so she also left the table together.

Unexpectedly, it was her own courtyard, her own girl, but when Daiyu came back, she found that the girl in her mother's yard led her to the front study room, she blushed immediately, embarrassed and angry, and refused go forward.It's not that she's deaf. I haven't heard of someone who sent her grandma and the others over due to errands today.

She wanted to turn back, but Jia Lian, who had the cheek to wait for a long time, threw off Lin Zhang with a dark face and chased her, calling her shamelessly: "Yu'er, wait for me, if you don't come over, let me come over. "

Daiyu stamped her feet angrily, wishing she could push Jia Lian, who was smiling, and Lin Zhang, who was making faces at the back, into the flower pond together, but in the end she just gave Jia Lian a bitter look, covered her face with a handkerchief and refused to speak.

Jia Lian was not at all embarrassed, and smiled attentively in front of his brother-in-law and the maids: "The few shops that my son sent me a few days ago are very popular with young grandmas and girls in Beijing. You just pass them on. It’s fine for the lady in charge to send you things for you to pick out, or draw a picture for them to make, as long as you like it.”

Daiyu still held her face with her shy hand, and couldn't help but spit at him when she heard the words: "Whoever wants something from your shop, let someone take it and return it to you!"

As she said that, Daiyu glared at Jia Lian with raised eyebrows. Lin Zhang couldn't help shrinking his neck when he looked at him fiercely, but Jia Lian just smiled and waved his hands again and again: "I can't help it. I'll send it back to you later, why not?" Don't bother, it's hard for the servant again."

With just one sentence, the ashamed Daiyu was speechless.When the two get married in the future, the store under Jia Lian's name will not be handed over to Daiyu, this is really unacceptable.

Lin Zhang was dumbfounded when he heard that, and looked at Jia Lian with incredible eyes, but Jia Lian was still there, calmly coaxing Daiyu to accept his wishes, and pointedly said that his purse was a bit old , not very bright, if Lin Hai had not sent someone to invite him, I am afraid that he would still be able to stand here until Jia Mu returned home.

However, although Jia Lian felt inadequate, he was not too disappointed. After all, it was only a few years away from Daiyu and Ji, so he could afford to wait.
