[Red Mansion] Reborn Lin Ruhai

Lin Ruhai had already made up his mind, so he decided to stay away from the emperor in the future, but he didn't want the emperor to cling even tighter, which added to his troubles.

On this day, the weather was sunny and sunny, so Lin Ruhai decided to take her daughter to visit Jia's mansion.Since the two mansions were not far apart, they didn't take a car, so the father and daughter each took a small sedan chair with a silver roof, and they were accompanied by only a dozen servants, a few women and Daiyu's maids.Although the ostentation was not as luxurious as that of Jia's house, those servants were sent by the emperor himself, and they were well-trained. They looked very mighty and extraordinary, and attracted the attention of passers-by.

When the group arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, Lin Ruhai sent someone to send a greeting card, and he looked out through the screen window, and it was indeed the same as in the previous life.There are three gates with animal heads, two big stone lions are squatting in front of the gates, and more than a dozen doormen are all dressed in splendid clothes, no worse than the masters of ordinary official houses.Can't help secretly sighing that Jia's mansion is too extravagant, who knows that under the glamorous surface, the inner bag has already been exhausted, and under the illusion of vigor and vitality, it has already decayed and withered.

Not long after, the main gate of Rongguo Mansion opened wide.

A well-dressed man with a beard and a shrewd calculation in the vicissitudes of life ran out in a hurry, followed by a dozen servants.Lin Ruhai wandered around the Jia Mansion in the form of a soul for several years, so he recognized that this was Lai Da, the chief executive of the Rongguo Mansion.Because mother Lai had served the old master, and because of her deliberate flattery, she was quite trusted by Jia's mother, and even brought a lot of benefits to her children and grandchildren.

Although this Lai Daping has always been reticent, he is very shrewd in his heart. When he built the Provincial Courtyard for Yuan Chun in his previous life, he made a lot of profit from it.Although he is a servant, there are a large group of maids and women in the family. His son Lai Shangrong later donated to the county magistrate.There is also a small garden, although it is not as good as the Grand View Garden, but it is also very luxurious, with many springs and stones, pavilions and pavilions.After careful calculation, many of the family assets he left for his daughter back then went into this guy's pocket.

Lai Dashi walked up to Lin Ruhai's sedan chair, bowed his head to greet Lin Ruhai, and then welcomed Lin Ruhai into the mansion through the main entrance.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Lin Ruhai was filled with emotions, and when he revisited his old place, so many unbearable thoughts disturbed and lingered.In the previous life, when he came to Beijing with his daughter, it was the time when the Jia mansion was cooking oil and flowers were blooming. Everyone was complacently preparing to welcome the imperial concubine. Who saw the sorrow and desolation of his daughter after losing her father?Fortunately, in this life, his daughter and him will no longer be as helpless as in the previous life!

Lin Ruhai entered the Chuhuamen, got out of the sedan chair, and took her daughter to see Jiamu.

After entering the main courtyard of Jia's mansion, the little maids rushed to spread the word: "Guye Lin and Miss Lin are here!", and several more opened the curtain to invite them in.Lin Ruhai raised his eyes and saw that this time Jia's house was polite, and all the irrelevant people avoided, maybe it was the result of the cloth delivery last time, and he might make himself pick something wrong again.

Just after seeing the ceremony, Daiyu had already been hugged by Jia's mother in her arms, screaming and crying.She called "Yu'er" for a while, and "Min'er" for a while, crying so much that she was so sad that Daiyu was sad and helpless, and she also wiped her tears.

Lin Ruhai frowned involuntarily. After his wife left, his daughter became seriously ill and finally got better. His mother-in-law would really provoke her!Hmph, now it sounds nice to say that when Baoyu happened, Daiyu was thrown out of the sky, and a good child was rubbed like that by them. Thinking about it, how could it not be infuriating!

But at this moment, he couldn't say anything. The grandparents and grandchildren had never met each other. At this moment, the grandmother was showing a little intimacy. Could he stop it?Finally, Mother Jia stopped her tears under the persuasion of the maids, so she sat down beside Daiyu, and said to Lin Ruhai, "Ruhai, you haven't seen your nieces yet, have you?"

"Your eldest daughter has seen it before!" Lin Ruhai frowned, suddenly talking about the girls in the mansion, I am afraid that the matter of letting their daughters into Jia's mansion will be mentioned next, so I will give you a warning first Now, who in the capital doesn't know that the eldest daughter of Jia's mansion was kicked out of the palace by the emperor, which can be regarded as a scandal!

Sure enough, Mother Jia's complexion changed, and after a while, she tried to squeeze out a smile again, suddenly realized "Oh", and said: "That's right, I actually forgot about it, alas, I'm old, I can't remember it! Speaking of which, you have been away for ten years, Yuan Chun was still a little girl at that time, but now she is a big girl!"

Lin Ruhai didn't answer, and Jia's mother skipped Yuanchun and said that the other three girls should be brought by the women to meet uncle.Lin Ruhai has met them one by one, and they are as expected in the previous life.Yingchun is dull and cowardly, doesn't talk too much, just stands aside blankly; Comes cold but devoid of emotion.

In his previous life, he watched his daughter get along with these girls, and they were not good friends. In this life, he also didn't want his daughter to have too much contact with them.

When Lin Ruhai saw it, he ordered someone to bring the gift that had been prepared. Even though Yuan Chun hadn't seen her, he prepared one for her, which was a bit thicker than the other girls.In Lin Ruhai's words, "When a girl grows up, she should be thicker"

Jia Mu was upset, so she had to order someone to pick it up and send it to Yuanchun.

Lin Ruhai bid farewell and went to the main hall to be entertained by Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng.I also saw Jia Lian, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, etc., but I didn't see Baoyu, so I couldn't help being curious.In fact, he was a little curious just now in Jia's mother's room. As far as he knew, this Jia Baoyu had always been hanging out with his sisters in front of his grandmother.He didn't see him just now, he thought it was the Jia family who sent Jia Baoyu outside because they were jealous of him, but now it seems that it is not always the case!

Lin Ruhai asked someone to present a gift again, and asked, "Why didn't you see Baoyu?"

"He went to play in the East Mansion early in the morning, and has already sent someone to call, and he will be back in a while!" Jia Zheng said.

Lin Ruhai suddenly realized after hearing this, no wonder?Thinking of Jia Baoyu's habit all along, he couldn't help frowning.This Jia Baoyu has always been unable to walk when he sees a girl, so he has to leave as soon as possible, lest he come to pester her again.

Just thinking about it, the servant reported, "Second Master Bao is here!"

Not long after, a boy in a red robe and brocade clothes came in, the attire was exactly the same as Lin Ruhai's impression.

Jia Zheng frowned and snorted coldly: "I ran away early in the morning without seeing anyone, I think you are begging for beating!"

Jia Baoyu flinched when he heard the words, and was about to retreat behind Jia Lian.

Jia Zheng shouted: "Where can you hide, and you still don't salute your Uncle Lin!"

Jia Baoyu had no choice but to go forward and salute according to the words, and Lin Ruhai asked people to show his respect.

Here, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng gossiped with Lin Ruhai.Jia Baoyu then retreated to stand beside Jia Lan, poked him once, and asked in a low voice, "What did you get?"

This Jia Lan was originally the son of Jia Zhu, the eldest son of Jia Zheng, who had passed away. His mother, Li Shi, was Jia Zhu's first wife, and also the eldest grandson of the second wife.In Shilu's family, the right to inherit the family business is the eldest son first, the eldest grandson second, and then the rest of the eldest sons and concubines.In fact, Jia Lan's status is higher than Jia Baoyu's.It's just that Jia Baoyu is spoiled by his grandmother and mother, and has a detached position in the mansion, which throws Jia Lan a thousand miles away.

Lin Ruhai had wandered in Jia's mansion for several years in his previous life, and he knew this very well, but Jia's mansion didn't know etiquette, but he didn't, so he gave Jia Lan a little more respect than Jia Baoyu.

Jia Lan has always respected his little uncle, so he dared not hide anything when he asked, so he told the truth.

Jia Baoyu was not very happy when he heard it, and his tone was not good: "Why do I have one thing less than you?"

Jia Lan lowered his head and said nothing, Jia Baoyu was even more unhappy.

It turned out that because Jia Baoyu was doted on by Jia's mother, he picked the best things for him to use, even the things rewarded by the elders were the best.People who often come and go with Jia's mansion know this very well, and the gifts they give are also more expensive than Jia Baoyu's.At this moment, when he heard that Uncle Lin's gift was not as good as Jia Lan's, he became angry.But he didn't dare to go too far in front of Jia Zheng, so he had to hold back his anger for a while until his face turned purple.

When Jia Zheng saw him like this, he thought he was ill, and feared that something might happen to him. Mother Jia was worried, so she shouted, "What are you still standing here for? If you don't feel well, go back!"

As if being pardoned, Jia Baoyu walked out, his servant Mingyan hurriedly chased after him with his things in his arms: "Second Master, slow down, don't fall, it will be our fault again!"

Jia Baoyu didn't listen, and ran straight to a lake and stopped. Mingyan caught up panting.As soon as he stood still, Jia Baoyu snatched the things he was holding in his arms and threw them into the lake: "What kind of trouble, I don't care about it?"

Mingyan stomped her feet anxiously: "Oh, my lord, why are you unable to vent your anger? Why did you throw that thing away! Now that it's over, the old lady will ask what Uncle Lin gave you, but how can you answer me!" So I have to find someone to go down and fish.

Jia Baoyu refused, saying: "Our family has people ten times stronger than this one. What a rarity! The old lady loves me so much, she won't blame me!"

Ming Yan said angrily: "My lord is Jingui's fate, the old lady will naturally be fine, she only suffers from those of us who serve, I'm afraid there will be a meal!"

At this time, Jiamu was in the room.

Jia's mother was lying on the couch, smiling and watching Lin Daiyu and Yingchun sisters joking, feeling a little smug in her heart.Lin Yatou was still young, just when she was ignorant and playful, and she lost her mother, why don't she just kiss whoever treats her well?And since she is a grandmother, is it justifiable to take care of her lost granddaughter?Hmph, as long as you win over her, are you afraid that Lin Ruhai won't give in?

Just as he was thinking, Yuanyang came and whispered in his ear: "Is the eldest lady clamoring to come in?"

Mother Jia frowned, and couldn't help cursing secretly in her heart, the ignorant thing has lost all the face of her family, and now she still refuses to settle down.If you don't stay in your own courtyard, it's embarrassing to run back here, and you don't want to see what time it is today!Then he ordered Yuanyang: "Send some strong women back, lock the courtyard door, and don't let her come out today!"

The mandarin ducks led away, and Mother Jia put on a kind smile again, watching her granddaughters play around.

Suddenly the little girls outside came to report: "Baoyu is back!"

Jia's mother hurriedly ordered someone to come over, but when Jia Baoyu saw his grandmother, he clung to it like a candy bark, and complained: "Old ancestor, Uncle Lin is so boring, he gave me less gifts than Lan'er's." one piece!"

"Pa-ta", the Nine Links in Lin Daiyu's hand fell to the ground, and the maids rushed to pick it up.

Jia's mother was startled, and then reprimanded Baoyu: "What nonsense are you talking about? That's your uncle Lin's courtesy. Stop making trouble, and your father will beat you later!" Said, ignoring Daiyu's struggle, and embraced Daiyu in her arms inside.

Baoyu was still humming at first, quite unconvinced, but when he saw Daiyu, his eyes straightened.I had long forgotten what happened just now, and pulled Jia Mu to act like a baby: "Old ancestor, where did this beauty come from?"
