Red Mansion is so good I want to cry

When do you need no reason to beat someone?

No, no, she must have heard wrong, her natal family must not be like this.

If the person being beaten was a servant, although Jia Min would feel that it was cruel, it would not be so unacceptable.She will find ways to persuade, or talk about cases with extremely serious consequences, which makes people afraid to beat and scold servants at will.

A servant is also a person, but the status is different because of the different life circumstances.Treating it kindly is also a personal practice.

But at this moment, Jia Min was dumbfounded.The one who was beaten was not the servant, but the master.

He is her father's own son, her biological brother...

Jia Min stared at her niece with straight eyes, her niece took it for granted and that she would ask such a question, and her eyes were so obvious that it made her heart tremble.

Fuss?

Hehe~, I feel sorry for her brother.

As if she felt that the thunder in Jia Min's heart was not big enough, Jia Xiaoniu picked up a piece of preserved fruit, put it in her nose and smelled it, and then said casually while tearing the preserved fruit with her small hands, "It's just a common thing, aunt Don't be surprised. You've been in Beijing for a long time, and you won't be so surprised."

Look at her, she is very pale.She used to be a little excited when she heard that her father was beaten.Now, what should I do.

Jia Min covered his chest with the hand holding the handkerchief, and said in an ethereal voice, "Your father and your uncle were beaten by your grandfather for no reason, is this normal?"

"Well~" Jia Xiaoniu nodded affirmatively, "Yes. When I, uh, I didn't remember anything, my grandfather often taught our master and second master like this. Before the two masters were beaten, at least I lay down for ten days and half a month. Now, I can go to the ground in about seven or eight days, and I can move freely in about ten days. My mother said that thick calluses must have grown on the places that are often injured. Twenty boards probably won't be able to break through."

Perhaps it was because of this that her grandfather raised the thirty boards for beating his son to fifty in the past two years.

Seeing Jia Min's fainting appearance, Jia Xiaoniu was a little worried that she was too sensitive and delicate like her legendary daughter, so she looked for a reason to relieve her very understandingly.

"Actually, there is no harm in this. Let's just talk about the beating yesterday. My grandfather said that since Niu got married, the family has been a little flustered. If it weren't for my aunt who was about to enter the capital, the beating would definitely not be so light. Who would have thought I still let my aunt meet..."

Since the marriage between Jia Xiaoniu and Shui Yuan was finalized three years ago, the members of the Jia family in the capital have been somewhat complacent.

Later, if it wasn't for Jia's mother's "going" in time, the Jia's family would close their guests and keep their filial piety. It can't be said how many people who follow the trend have come together.

However, if you can hide from the first day of junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth day.As soon as the days of keeping filial piety are over, those who want to go heresy will rush out like bees who have seen honey.

Although Jia Daishan said that he took his anger on his two sons because of the source of water, he didn't rule out the trend of killing people in this way, and he also told his two sons not to be too self-righteous.

It's really no big deal to have a daughter (niece) who is a princess.

As long as you don't become a queen mother, even a queen is not worth much.

So Jia Daishan was really angry that his two sons were praised too highly by those with ulterior motives.

In particular, Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty ran up to Jia Xiaoniu and pretended to be elders, wanting to make Jia Xiaoniu show a filial and respectful attitude and commitment.

Unable to help the sweetheart, Jia Daishan wanted to stop the two of them.

After a meal, it drizzled.

Jia Min: Why can't she feel the convincing force of this reason?

"And a few days ago, the second master actually pulled our master to clear up some official position for someone from Jinling. I heard that that person was demoted because of his poor official performance." Speaking of this, Jia Xiaoniu said yes Jia Min spread her hands, "Tell me, if you dare to participate in this kind of thing, don't beat up a few more times, so as to improve your memory, what will you do in the future. Aunt and grandfather are also in trouble."

The person Jia Xiaoniu was talking about was none other than Jia Yucun.

Jia Yucun didn't know who he had gone through, but he jumped out again.

However, his fate was not good, and he was known by Jia Xiaoniu as soon as he jumped to Rongguo Mansion.

That's all right, there's no need to talk about the future.

After Jia Daishan heard his heart's "innocent" and "innocent" words, he immediately ignored 21 and called his two sons to Lixiangyuan in front of Jia Yucun who came to Rongguo Mansion again.

First, there was a scolding meal, and then there was another earth-shattering meal.

Immediately, Jia Yucun, who was still sitting stupidly in the outer courtyard, was beaten into a daze.

The reason is that the legends in the capital are all true.

Rong Guogong Jia Daishan doubted the blood of his two sons, so it was true that he beat his son every now and then.

With a long sigh, Jia Yucun had no choice but to leave in disappointment after being escorted by servants of the Rongguo Mansion.

Originally, Jia Zheng really wanted to take care of his new best friend, but since he didn't need to get fame in the exam a few years ago, his father treated him equally, and stopped beating the buttocks and palms.

His physical fitness was not as strong as his eye-catching elder brother Jia Zheng, and the calluses on his buttocks were not as thick as his elder brother Jia Zheng, so the injury was naturally much worse than the elder brother Jia She.

It's just that other people can't think of his reasons, they just think that the second master is getting better at acting.

The Eldest Master is not doing well yet, he is in so much pain that he is so talented~

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

Jia Min: I still feel that these reasons are far-fetched.

"Forget it, needless to say." Jia Min took a deep breath, now she really felt that her father beat her brother without any reason.

At least I didn't think about it before moving the board.Forget it, there is no need to make excuses for her father, and she will not make things difficult for her eldest niece.

"Auntie is tired?" Jia Xiaoniu compared her heart to her heart, and felt that if she had been traveling by boat and car for most of the day, she would be very tired, so she stood up very considerately, "Auntie, let's rest for a while, niece is late." Come back some time."

Jia Xiaoniu told Jia Min the usual dinner time in Lixiangyuan, and then she said goodbye and left.

It wasn't until Jia Xiaoniu left that Jia Min rubbed his swollen forehead.

"Does Madam have a headache?" The eldest girl, Humei, walked lightly behind Jia Min, and gently pressed Jia Min's temples with both hands.

"Sister and brother both rested?"

"Yes, the arrangement in the mansion is very good. My sister is arranged in the East Wing, and my brother is resting in the West Wing in the arms of the nanny."

Humei is a big girl who has only been promoted in recent years, although she has always known that his wife is extremely favored in her natal family.But she, who didn't know the inside story, always thought that her wife's mother died of illness three years ago, and she might be inconvenient in small details when she returned to her natal home, and she might even be neglected.

But what the servants of the Lin family didn't expect was the arrangement in this mansion, which was really appropriate.

The courtyard where the sophomore entered, not to mention the main rooms where the master and wife lived, and the two side rooms that looked like they were cleaned up for the young master, but the inverted room where the girl and the woman lived were all cleaned It's brand new, even the bedding is the thick and warm new bedding.

The earth dragons in the house don't need to wear thick beanies if they are warm.It is said that the north is dry and cold, but Humei thinks that winter in the north is better than that in the south as long as there are conditions.

Humei thought of the small study and flower hall carefully tidied up in Erjin's courtyard, and felt that the two months living in Jia's house should not be too sad.

"The master's study in the other yard has been cleaned out?"

"Hui Ying took someone to clean it up, Madam, don't worry." Jia Min's four eldest girls arranged their own work before entering the mansion.

Huimei stayed in Jia Min's main room to tidy up the house, and Huiying took the girl and woman to another main room where Lin Ruhai tidied up the study and entertained guests.

Huixue and Huiqing are busy with Daiyu and Shige'er's maid respectively.

Without waiting for Jia Min to ask any more questions, Hui Ying took the girl back to the main room.

Seeing that Jia Min hadn't rested yet, he told Jia Min all about the other arrangements.

The pattern of the other entry is similar to theirs.It's just that the main room needs to be tidied up to be used as a study and guest room.The wing room was reserved for Lin Ruhai's close staff.

The small kitchen is located in the second entrance, and the diesel rice noodles and the lady on the stove are already in place.Because it is winter, there are few green vegetables, so except for green vegetables and fresh fish that need to be bought daily, everything else has been listed and handed over to Thrush, so that she can know the stock and order.

To be honest, Jia Min is Jia Daishan's heart, and the Jin family can handle things. In addition, Jia Xiaoniu also has a heart for Jia Min's family when they live in the mansion, so the small courtyard where Jia Min's family lives can be regarded as a house in the mansion. Everyone is preparing for it as one thing.

With the configuration of this small courtyard, it is almost the same as the five-star hotel in the later generations.

After Jia Min heard about the girls one by one, she felt warm in her heart.

"Send people from our family to watch outside the mansion. Although the people in the house will definitely not neglect our master, there are still some people who don't know each other. It's safe to have people from our family watching there so that nothing will happen again."

"Yes." Humei nodded, turned around and went out to order.

At this time, Jia Min took off the hairpin with the scriptures, and while walking to the inner room, she smiled and pointed to the big kang by the window.

The room arranged for Jia Min is exquisitely furnished, with only the special characteristics of the north.

That is, except for the main room, there will be heating kangs in other rooms.

"I haven't slept on this for many years, so I don't dare to fall asleep on it for a while. If you want to try it, go and try it. It warms up very well. Just don't stay too long at the beginning. Although this thing is good, it is the easiest to get angry."

Several big girls looked at each other, smiled and told Jia Min that their houses also had this kind of kang, but they were covered with thick mattresses.

Jia Min listened with a smile, and then ordered, "If any of you are not tired, go and find out the meeting gifts we brought to the mansion. Back then, they were all prepared according to the head, and they were all written on the list. Let's find out first, I’ll send them out one by one later when I’m relieved of my fatigue.”

After Jia Min finished speaking, she yawned under the veil, and lay down to rest under the wait of the girl.

Jia Min was treated like a spoiled guest at home, but Lin Ruhai was not treated as well in the palace.

For one thing, he, an official from other provinces who returned to Beijing to report on his duties, could not be taken seriously by those powerful palace officials.Secondly, everyone knew that Lin Ruhai was the son-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion. Thinking of the other son-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion, Lin Ruhai was angered by everyone.

Can't fix the prince, and can't fix you, an old scholar with no background?

So from morning to noon, until one hour before the key was released in the palace, someone reminded Lin Ruhai to meet him outside the palace.

Only now did I think that when he was busy at that time, he heard someone say that so and so came to see the driver to report on his work.He casually said something to tell him to wait, and then he forgot about this person in a hurry.Thinking of this, he quickly asked the palace servants to tell Lin Ruhai to meet him.

Lin Ruhai was frozen outside for most of the day, and now his face was pale and pale.When I saw the driver, my voice was trembling, and I have never been sympathetic nowadays. Seeing Lin Ruhai like this, and seeing Lin Ruhai's black hair with a few silver strands faintly, I couldn't help but think of Jia Daishan crying to him.

……

"You did a good job in Yangzhou. The salt tax has increased a lot in recent years... let's go down first."

"Yes, Wei Chen retire."

After some responses from the monarch and his subjects, Lin Ruhai was only dismissed today.

Lin Ruhai didn't show it on the surface, but she felt a little guilty in her heart.

In today's confrontation between the monarch and his ministers, he didn't see at all how he would be arranged in the future.

Shivering, Lin Ruhai was cold and hungry, and didn't bother to think about the funeral anymore.Maintaining his demeanor, he speeded up and walked towards the palace gate.

After leaving the palace and getting on the sedan chair, Lin Ruhai asked someone to carry the sedan chair to Rongguo Mansion without any hesitation.

Sitting in the sedan chair, holding the hand stove and the frozen snacks prepared by the personal attendants, Lin Ruhai can't hold anything in his mind now except a bowl of hot noodle soup with extra spicy peppers.

It's so cold~

Quietly lifting up one sleeve, Lin Ruhai glanced at the inconspicuous marks on it with distaste, and then looked disgusted.

Lin Ruhai had stayed in the capital city before, and knew that the winter in the capital city turned into ice.But he didn't expect that after so many preparations, he would be completely frozen in a short time.

He stood outside the hall, not daring to move half a step, for he was afraid that he would call someone the next moment.

The outside of the hall is very empty, and the north wind keeps blowing.Blowing out the snot and tears directly.

Then the handkerchief is not enough...

Lin Ruhai glanced at the sleeves again, and firmly stated that this official robe and what happened today must not be known to his wife and daughter.

It's too detrimental to his image.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai carefully opened the lid of the hand stove, exposing the burning charcoal inside.Seeing that carbon, Lin Ruhai pursed his lips, and gently covered his sleeves.

Destroying official robes is a serious crime, but can such official uniforms be kept and worn without being burned?

Anyway, it's stained...he won't wear it anymore.

Another one, what a heartless person must be to tell others all over the world that he destroyed the official robe?

Regardless of whether it is a dragon robe or an official robe, it will wear and tear if it is a dress.Is it not bad that a piece of clothing can still look new after being worn for a long time?After all, it is made of cloth, so if it is worn out after wearing it for a long time, is it considered a sin?

As long as you don't say anything about this kind of thing, no one will seriously attack you with a few sets of official robes a month.

After seeing a few inconspicuous but not overlooked small holes burned on the sleeves, Lin Ruhai closed the hand stove, held the hand stove and closed his eyes to rest.

For officials, official robes are work clothes.It is impossible for anyone to wear only one piece for many years, without even having a change of clothes.

For a wealthy family like the Lin family, Lin Ruhai's official robes will not be missing.

So Lin Ruhai didn't worry about not having to wear it at all.

And, speaking of wearing.That also depends on the arrangements for him in the future.

Now that no arrangements have been made, he is no different from his second uncle who is waiting in the house.When the new official position comes down, I don't know what rank it is, and whether the official robe needs to be replaced is another matter.

Unknowingly, Lin Ruhai, who was influenced by his old father-in-law's left and right letters, has lost a lot of awe of imperial power and the importance of official positions in his heart.

However, his old father-in-law just paid him a casual greeting while caring about his daughter.

There were few people on the street in winter, and the sedan chairs were carried all the way to the main gate of Rongguo Mansion.

The servants of the Lin family were chatting nonsense with the servants of the Rongguo Mansion, when they saw Lin Ruhai's entourage following the sedan chair, they quickly stood up, and said to the servants of the Rongguo Mansion who were talking around him, "Our master is back", He left everyone behind and went up to meet him.

The servants of Rongguo Mansion had been beaten and warned by Jia Daishan and the Jin family. Knowing that Lin Ruhai had returned to the mansion, they opened the gate and informed the mansion.

It is a courtesy for a man to get off his horse and sedan chair outside the main gate, so it is impossible for a man not to know about Lin Ruhai's family background.So he brought the sedan chair to a stop, and got out of the sedan chair with the stove in his arms.

Surrounded by servants, he entered the mansion, and saw Lin Zhixiao in the mansion.Lin Zhixiao conveyed Jia Daishan's words and asked him to go back to his room to wash up first, and then went to ask Ann for dinner.

Lin Ruhai smiled and thanked Jia Daishan for his sympathy, and Lin Zhixiao led the way back to the courtyard where they lived temporarily.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Lin Ruhai habitually looked up at the plaque on the gate.When I saw the word "Danheting", I couldn't help smiling.

First-rank civil servants, the mantle of the official robe is a crane.And because the top of the red-crowned crane's head is red, the crane is respected by the red-crowned crane.

Danheting~

It's a good meaning.

Lin Zhixiao saw Lin Ruhai looking at the plaque on the courtyard door and smiled, "Before, most of the small courtyards in our mansion had no names, and the old man didn't think so. It's because our eldest girl felt that it was difficult to distinguish, so this is one by one. Named."

After a pause, Lin Zhixiao pointed to the plaque again and said, "This plaque has been up for less than two months. The name was given by the eldest girl, but the words were written by our old man himself."

Lin Zhixiao almost didn't say that this well-meaning yard was reserved for their Lin family.

Lin Ruhai didn't need anyone to speak too clearly, he understood what was going on after hearing this.

Lin Ruhai still had some impressions of Jia Xiaoniu.But that waywardness is nothing more than a little Douding who was not as tall as the table a few years ago.

Although the name of this yard is straightforward, it has a good meaning and intention.As an uncle, he also received her favor.

"My niece has also grown a lot. Did she name her own yard?" Lin Ruhai walked inside while joking in a good mood.

Lin Zhixiao followed Lin Ruhai, and when Lin Ruhai asked, he replied, "Why didn't I get up? After thinking about it for a long time, I came up with a name for reunion."

"Reunion name?"

"Yes, it's called 'Yuanmingyuan'." There are three words in the name of a courtyard, and there are two words "round" in it. Lin Zhixiao thinks that two circles, can they not be round?

Lin Ruhai was a little surprised when he heard the name.

The word Yuanming is fine, but how big is the girl's yard to call it a garden?

For a while, Lin Ruhai really didn't know how to praise Jia Xiaoniu's name, and it happened that he was about to pass through the first entrance and enter the second entrance, so he smiled and didn't say much.

Seeing that Lin Ruhai was about to enter the second entrance, Lin Zhixiao didn't follow him to see him off, and retreated respectfully.

Danheting's small stove had been ordered early in the morning, and there were two stoves left to boil hot water.Knowing that Lin Ruhai was back, the lady on the stove quickly added more firewood, and the fire on the stove was boiled to a boil.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before the waiter in the main room came to carry the water.

Because it was still some time before dinner, and Lin Ruhai was freezing to the bone. As soon as he entered the room, Jia Min found out, and quickly asked someone to bring hot water for Lin Ruhai to soak in the cold. .

Lin Ruhai was afraid that it would be disrespectful to see Jia Daishan after taking a bath, so he didn't want to take a bath at first.It was Jia Min who was worried that he had accumulated a cold in his body, so he persuaded him to take a bath anyway.

After soaking in hot water for a while, Lin Ruhai's frozen body finally recovered.

The whole person was soaked in the water, numb and itchy.

Jia Min waved the girl back and personally waited for Lin Ruhai to take a bath.While wiping his back with a handkerchief, he told Lin Ruhai about the whole day today.

One is to let him know what he knows, and the other is to show off to Lin Ruhai in a subtle way, "This is my natal family, my father loves me, my sister-in-law loves me, and my niece also respects me."

But there are always things that are hard to say, but have to be said.

For example, the two elder brothers who must be told to Lin Ruhai at the moment are the two elder brothers who will be absent from the banquet today.

Jia Min is still a talker, or someone who can put gold on the faces of her father and mother.

After all, Jia Min in the original book often praised Rongguo Mansion in Sister Lin's ears how good it was, how prominent it was, otherwise Sister Lin would not have been so cautious when entering the mansion.

"...The two elder brothers are honest people, and they usually have the temperament of thinking less. The personnel affairs in the capital are complicated and difficult to argue, and it is easy for people to take advantage of them. Father is worried that some things are hard to guard against and cannot be pushed back. Just, just now, although my brothers have suffered, although I feel sorry for my father, I feel more sorry for my father. When the board hits my brother, it is like hitting my father's heart. How can my father not feel heartbroken when the board hits him?"

Lin Ruhai nodded, "Father-in-law is really a man, and Hai is not as good as it should be."

Jia Min, who was still sensational, was taken aback when he heard Lin Ruhai's words, and then panicked.

what?Do you still want to follow suit?

If you dare to touch your aunt's children, your aunt will fight with you.
