The Lady of the Red Chamber

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia's mother, stood up and bowed his hands, and sincerely thanked: "Old Madam, I have troubled you to take care of Yu'er these years. Now that my son-in-law has returned to Beijing, it is no longer convenient to bother your house. Today, I will take Yu'er and leave."

Jia's mother's smile froze for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal. She looked at Lin Ruhai and said, "What are you talking about. Yu'er has been here since she was a child, and I watched her grow up. I'm getting older, and I don't have anyone caring around me. Yu'er is by my side, and I treat her as if Min'er is still there. Needless to say, I love her very much. Now you want to take her away, Wouldn't this gouge out my heart?"

After finishing speaking, he beat his chest, as if thinking of Jia Min who died young, the tears that finally stopped fell down again.

After all, Mother Jia has been hurting Lin Daiyu for many years.Even if the people in the Rongguo Mansion say in private that she is an orphan girl, Jiamu's love for her is beyond words.Seeing her grandmother so sad, Daiyu couldn't help feeling unbearable, and almost subconsciously wanted to stand up and comfort her ancestors.

But as soon as she moved, she thought of the advice she had given her when she came to visit slowly during her illness: "Cousin, if uncle wants to take you away when he enters the capital, Mrs. Shi will definitely not agree. No matter what the old matriarch says, you must not soften your heart."

Tightening her cheeks, thinking of her father's hard work planning for her, and thinking of the time when she and her father will be able to spend time together in the future, Lin Daiyu still did not speak after all.

Lin Ruhai was unmoved by Jia's mother's crying. Instead, he took out a thick purse from his arms and raised his hands: "Old Madam, Yu'er mentioned in her family letter that she has lived in the mansion for many years. All these years of food and clothing, thanks to the care of the old lady, has always been the best, comparable to the girls in the mansion. The son-in-law really doesn't know how to be grateful, so he can only offer me a silver ticket of ten thousand taels , let’s say thank you.”

Mother Jia raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and before she could shed tears, she pointed at Lin Ruhai and yelled, "What are you doing? Yu'er is my granddaughter, and I should take care of her. If I take your money, Then what kind of family has our Rongguo Mansion become? Are you trying to break the relationship between our Jia family and Lin family?"

Lin Ruhai knew that Jia's mother would say this for a long time, and replied unhurriedly: "The old lady's words are wrong. Yu'er is a girl of our Lin family, and it is already very unethical to live in her grandfather's house. Now Xiao My son-in-law has already returned to Beijing, so there is absolutely no reason for Yu'er to live in someone else's house."

After finishing speaking, he took a few steps forward and put the purse on the red sandalwood table next to Jia Mu. After finishing, he smiled and said: "The maid here is so clever that she doesn't even know to step forward to take it. Mother-in-law should be happy." Tune and teach."

Yuanyang was instantly embarrassed, looked at Jia Mu, then looked at the exquisite and huge purse, neither in nor out.

Jia's mother did not give up, and continued to mediate with Lin Ruhai: "Lin Hai, you are doing it for Yu'er's sake, am I not? Min'er has passed away, and the Lin family has no well-educated elders. This is bad for Yu'er's reputation..."

The words were not finished, but the meaning was revealed clearly.

Among the five not to marry, "If a widow or an eldest daughter is not married, there is no precept to teach" is not empty words, otherwise Lin Ruhai would not have the heart to let Daiyu go all the way from Yangzhou to the capital because of the personal upbringing of the Duke's wife.

It is precisely because of this that Jia's mother is sure that Lin Ruhai will not take Daiyu away unless Lin Ruhai wants to continue.

But who would have thought that Lin Ruhai's face was serious, he took a few steps back, and cupped his hands in the direction of the palace: "Holy God, Zhi Min'er passed away, and there is no woman or elder in the family, so I specially gave Yu'er a foster nun." .My son-in-law understands the old lady's wishes. But with the grace of the saint, the old lady can rest assured."

At the same time, the nanny standing behind Lin Daiyu stepped forward, blessed Jia's mother, and said modestly: "Old slave Cui, I have seen the old lady."

Mother Jia didn't expect Lin Ruhai to block all her escape routes. She wanted to have a fit or two at the same time, but she saw that Mammy's face was familiar. After thinking about it, she asked in disbelief, "Cui Madam is not Shuyang?" The wet nurse of His Royal Highness the eldest princess?"

Cui Nanny smiled and nodded: "The old lady has a good memory. I think that when the old slave was with Princess Shuyang, I met the old lady a few times. The old lady is as healthy as before."

Wang's eyebrows twitched: Princess Shuyang, Lin Ruhai is really capable.

Nanny Cui bowed slightly again, and respectfully said to Mother Jia: "It's human nature for the old matriarch to worry about her granddaughter. However, this old slave is not talented, so he thinks he is qualified to be Miss Lin's foster mother. The old matriarch Don't worry, with the old slave here, I will definitely not let the young lady suffer any grievances."

Seeing this, Jia's mother straightened up slightly and owed, and said repeatedly: "Don't dare, dare not."

Cui Shi, the wet nurse of Princess Shuyang, was granted the first-rank imperial order as Mrs. Fengguo, which is one level lower than Jiamu, the super-rank imperial order.Not to mention his meritorious service in saving his family, Jane is in the emperor's heart, and he is a figure that all the high schools in the capital are vying to please.

How dare Mu Jia accept her courtesy too much, and how can she still say no.Unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai moved out of this big Buddha.

Nanny Cui smiled and said a few words to Mother Jia, and then said: "Since that's the case, this old slave will take those little maids to tidy up the lady's room. After all, it's the daughter's house, so if something close to me is left , wouldn’t it be beautiful to say it out. I don’t know where Miss’s courtyard is?”

When Jia Mu heard this, she instantly felt relieved. .

Daiyu has always lived in the Bisha closet in Rongqing Hall.Originally, this was nothing. It could also be said that Daiyu was pure filial piety and wanted to serve her grandmother closely.But in the past, Baoyu lived with her in the outer room of the bisha cabinet. If Nanny Cui knew about this, Rongguo Mansion would lose face.

Fortunately, the eldest lady of Zhen Guohou's mansion specially mentioned this matter when she came to the mansion last time. For the sake of Yuanchun, Jia's mother reluctantly let Jia Baoyu go to the East Courtyard to live with Mrs. Jia Zhengwang.I was still complaining at first, but now it seems that I am really grateful.

Wang Xifeng was always clever and knew that Mrs. Fengguo must please her. She rolled her eyes, took a step forward, and said to Jiamu with a loud smile: "Old ancestor, why don't you let me take Mrs. Fengguo to your sister's boudoir."

Mother Jia has always admired Wang Xifeng, thinking that Wang Xifeng would not neglect Nanny Cui, she nodded with a smile on her face: "Brother Feng, then quickly take your wife to pack your sister Lin's luggage and everything. Easy ma'am."

He turned to Nanny Cui and said, "Ma'am, my granddaughter-in-law is the brightest and brightest, so I'll trouble Nanny to go with her."

Nanny Cui responded with a smile, and walked out of the main room door together with Wang Xifeng, and walked towards the green gauze cabinet.

Wang Xifeng was introducing and laughing with Cui Mama, while looking at the legendary Mrs. Fengguo, her eyes flashed a quiet thought: Uncle Lin is really calculating.This is basically planning to take Sister Lin out of the house a long time ago, but she was reluctant to mention it until the meeting.Mrs. Fengguo was invited to come out of the mountain without saying anything, and she even refused to send the banknotes in advance, just because she was afraid that the ancestors would find out.

Thinking of how the Xing family and Yingchun didn't care about it just now, Wang Xifeng's heart skipped a beat, trying to cover up her panic and not let herself lose her composure: Could it be that the wife and the second girl knew about this a long time ago?

It seems that for the sake of the future, it is necessary to go to the Rongxi Hall to pay a visit.

In this room, Wang Xifeng tried her best to talk and laugh with Nanny Cui, but what she didn't know was that when she and Nanny Cui led the little maid to the Bisha cabinet, there was a wild dance going on in Rongqing Hall .

And the protagonist is Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg born in the Rongguo Mansion.

When Baoyu heard that Lin Ruhai was going to pick up Sister Lin, he immediately became unhappy.But because Jia Zheng was sitting next to him, he didn't dare to be foolish, so he could only silently look at the old ancestor, hoping that the old ancestor would find a way to refuse.

But Jia Baoyu sat on the wooden chair wringing his fingers, and the more he heard the back, the more he felt something was wrong.

When he finally saw someone actually packing up Sister Lin's clothes, even accompanied by Wang Xifeng, he realized that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and was dumbfounded on the spot.

Regardless of Jia Zheng's presence, Jia Baoyu immediately rushed to Lin Daiyu and hurriedly said, "Sister, you can't leave."

Lin Ruhai had already learned what kind of temperament Jia Baoyu was from the letter from her younger sister and brother-in-law, so she kept watching there coldly.

Seeing that Jia Baoyu really didn't know what to do, he quickly blocked Daiyu's body with sharp eyesight and hands, separated Jia Baoyu's hand that wanted to reach Lin Daiyu, cupped his fists and arched at Jia Zheng, sneering: "Second uncle, Baoyu is really well-bred. Cousin stopped my cousin from leaving, and this is the first time I have seen such a strange scene. Please tell me about it, brother, is this the principle written in any sage book?"

Jia Zheng has always had a thin skin, which is the best way to save face. At this time, his face was flushed with anger, and he shouted at Baoyu angrily, "You evil, don't come here."

If it was normal, Jia Zheng would be so furious, Baoyu would have slumped and hid behind Jiamu for shelter.

But as long as Daiyu is involved in something, Baoyu will inevitably be a little bit left-handed.So at this time, I didn't feel scared when I heard Jia Zheng's angry reprimand. I just stared at Lin Daiyu blankly across Lin Ruhai, and said foolishly: "Sister, don't go, okay. Let's go, this flower has lost its color, and this garden has lost its brilliance, so what's the point of me living in this world? It's better to be blown away with a gust of wind."

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Baoyu dumbfounded.If it weren't for his good etiquette, he couldn't help but want to go forward and shake Jia Baoyu awake.

Lin Daiyu lowered her eyes and said calmly: "Brother Bao must never say this again. As a son of man, I should serve my father, how can I ignore my dearest relatives because of my own selfishness?"

Jia Baoyu didn't expect Lin Daiyu to say such a thing, and he didn't dare to believe it: "Sister, what's wrong with you? How could you say such a thing? We are all in the capital, if you want to meet your uncle, it is the most convenient, and Why bother today? Go to that unpopular place to live in desolation?"
