A Concubine of Salted Fish in Qing Dynasty [Red House]

The old lady had expected that Mother Jia would post a post for herself early in the morning. She might have thought that she would refuse to see her and would only let Daiyu and the others go to Rongguo Mansion.

This makes things easier for her.

But if you really think so, then you are wrong.

According to etiquette, no matter what they think in their hearts, in order not to make people picky on the children's conduct, as long as Jia Min is the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, then the Jia family is the ancestral home of the next generation of the Lin family. one do.

The old lady didn't think about preventing Daiyu from stepping into the gate of Rongguo Mansion once, but how to get there, and what to say when she went, then it was out of Jiamu's control.

Not only was she going, she was going there with great fanfare.

The old lady couldn't help thinking of the dream world again. Her granddaughter came to Jia's mansion and entered through the west corner gate. Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng had never even met each other. She was warned by Mrs. Wang, and she was even independent. There are no courtyards.

No matter which one, the old lady's heart is pierced every time she thinks about it.

It's different now.

Daiyu is no longer an orphan.

Behind her is the Lin family.

This time, she intends to have a good reasoning with Mother Jia.

Of course, even if you accept the post, it's not immediately.

If she went over immediately after receiving the post, it would be a shame for Shi Shi.

After returning, the old lady took a good look at her son and grandson, and they were all fine.

The emperor didn't have any orders from his son yet, so he wasn't in a hurry. The grandson followed his son to visit many houses, and several of them sent out signals that they wanted to get married.

They are also the first-born daughters of the family.

Although there was no intention of agreeing, the meaning revealed in it was enough to make the old lady smile.

These people have vision!

Lin Ruhai and Chen Yu knew what happened on their way, and both broke into sweat.

Lin Ruhai was once again fortunate to have invited a bodyguard to escort him, otherwise he was worried that something might happen, and it would be too late to regret it.

When he first received the letter, he decided to give those bodyguards more rewards. Now that he saw his mother and the others safe and sound, he decided to pay more.

This is what they deserve.

"It's nothing, it's just a false alarm. Our children are all fine." The old lady praised with a smile.

Even Daiyu, who was the weakest, was frightened, but none of them got sick.

Hearing her grandmother's praise, Yingyu lowered her head with a guilty conscience, she was really frightened.

She saw the dead, so much blood, if not for so many relatives around her, she might have screamed, and now thinking about it, she still has nightmares, thanks to Dr. Zhou who prescribed the soothing decoction, after drinking it, she felt better up.

It was the younger sister... She glanced at the second younger sister quietly. When she saw the dead person, she was a little dazed at first, but then her expression returned to normal. She was scared and leaned over, grabbing her sister's sleeve, and she was not so scared anymore.

And Concubine Yun, she was also very close to Concubine Yun at that time, Concubine Yun's eyes... how should I put it, I feel that Concubine Yun saw that the corpse was similar to ordinary things, there was no disturbance at all.

Thinking of this, she looked over subconsciously, Aunt Yun was still the same, standing there gentle and graceful, with a little smile on her face, nothing unusual.

She is also very powerful, making Yingyu sometimes wonder if she is too timid.

But when she saw her aunt, she felt that she was thinking too much.

It's not that she is timid, but that the second younger sister and Aunt Yun are too courageous.

Auntie was so frightened that she held her hand so hard that her wrists were blackened.

The surrounding maids and women were also terrified, leaning together and shivering.

And the little sister, she was not frightened, it is probably because the nanny has been protecting her, she may not have seen the dead body at all.

In addition to caring about her son and grandson, the old lady also has to worry about whether the property is properly arranged.

Next year will be the time for the two granddaughters to be drafted. Regardless of whether they can avoid it or not, this lifelong event must be finalized.

Even if her son received a transfer order to go to another place to be an official, she would not follow him, but took care of the affairs of the two granddaughters in the capital.

I avoided the draft and will get engaged next year.

Can't avoid the draft, but also next year's engagement.

There are too many things, and there is also a grandson, who will see him after the draft.

But in this regard, the grandson is really not in a hurry. After he has obtained the fame, the marriage that can be said will be improved to a higher level.

Even if she is in a hurry to embrace her grandson, the old lady will not neglect her granddaughter-in-law's family background.

In other words, she and her granddaughter will live in the capital for a long time, so of course the things in the mansion must be packed properly.

Lin Ruhai naturally lives in the main courtyard, the quietest Ningshou courtyard belongs to the old lady, the courtyard next to her belongs to Daiyu, and then the courtyards of Yingyu and Luoyu.

As before, they were still neighbors, and the three sisters were almost in a straight line.

Then it was the yard of Yun Shuyao and Aunt Mei and Aunt Chu.

Among the three yards, Yun Shuyao's yard is the largest, and the layout is more beautiful than the other two aunts.

Regarding this, Aunt Mei couldn't get up enough energy to object. Who told someone to have a good life and gave birth to a son.

Luo Yu first followed her aunt to her aunt's yard, and found that it should have been arranged by her younger brother. The layout was her aunt's usual preference, and there were already many potted plants and plants in it, with few blooming and many seedlings.

My aunt would not like it if they were all in full bloom.

Some of the things that the first wave had brought had already been delivered, and the things that their last wave had brought were in place when they were just talking.

Looking at it now, it is the layout and decoration that Yun Shuyao is used to.

Nothing special, she doesn't like big movements.

Luo Yu is a worried person. After checking, she nodded in satisfaction: "It seems that my brother has put a lot of thought into it."

It takes a lot of effort to arrange the place where my aunt is used to living, which is not much different from before.

Yun Shuyao raised the corners of her lips: "If you come first, you will do the same."

Luo Yu narrowed her eyes with a smile: "That's natural."

Yun Shuyao followed her to Luo Yu's yard to have a look, and she also came here according to her preferences.

The yard is full of plants, as well as her favorite fish pond and bowl lotus.

Although this bowl of lotus is not in season yet, one can imagine what a beautiful day it will be.

Outside, apart from playing with flowers and plants, Luoyu's hobby and forte is painting, and she is famous among her friends for her hand-painted paintings.

In fact, riding and archery is one of her hobbies, but Lin Ruhai doesn't want her to be famous in this area, and she will restrain herself in front of outsiders.

Yun Shuyao checked and was sure everything was safe: "Take a good rest, don't send me off, I will go back by myself."

After resting for two days and recovering enough energy, the old lady replied to Rongguo Mansion's message and came to the door someday.

When that day arrives, it will be mighty.

Not only her, but also her sons, grandchildren, and even aunts.

Didn't her in-laws say that they would welcome them with a small banquet?In this case, she will bring everyone over to watch a good feast.

It's not that the old lady boasted, whether it's her son, daughter-in-law, grandson, granddaughter, or even aunt, they are all better than her Jia's!

Lin Ruhai wanted to say something else, but when he saw his mother like this, he took it back.

Forget it, it was nothing at all, it was just a small banquet between the two families.

Daiyu doesn't have any people from Jia's family around her. Ever since she was accepted to live with the old lady, she has been asked and arranged by the old lady herself.

When Jia Min passed away, she was already three years old. She remembered things early and had memories of that time.

Before the hospital bed, her mother asked her to listen to her grandmother, but she didn't mention her grandmother. She had vaguely heard something about her grandmother's family.

And as she grew older, she also knew that it was not normal for her not to have people from her grandfather's family around her.

It's not that there is no Jia family in the Lin family, but they are not responsible for anything too important, and they can't get close to her.

As for the reason, it is said that someone in the Jia family made a big mistake, so they were liquidated.

Occasionally she would ask about her grandmother, and one after another, she confirmed that it was indeed the Jia family who made a mistake.It was because her maternal grandmother's hand was too long, she stretched her hand into the inner courtyard of the Lin family, causing her little brother to disappear early.

So there is only superficial affection left between the two families.

When she knew this, Daiyu was not without sadness.

She is very smart, thinking of her mother lying on the hospital bed in the last days, she still has a vague premonition in her heart, maybe... her mother's illness also has this part of the reason, otherwise she would not be so worried.

Part of my mother's illness is her body, and part of her heart.

Now that she is going to see her grandmother, she is a little at a loss and doesn't know what to do.

It was the old lady who saw her state of mind and pulled her into her arms to comfort her, "Daiyu, don't worry, you are the only blood of your father and mother, and you are the apple of our Lin family's apple."

"By your side, there is me, your father, your brothers and sisters, and many relatives around you."

"Your grandmother may love you, but you have to know that in her heart, your mother and you will never come first. What she cares about most is herself, her authority, and Jia. The rise and fall of the family."

"I hope you can understand this, and don't be easily fooled by her words."

"Furthermore, the atmosphere of the Jia family is not quite the same as that of our family. They are nobles who started their careers in the military. Their eyes of wealth and honor are engraved on the top of their heads, and the subordinates are also raised too high." It is unimaginable in their family that children of the younger generation still have face.

That's how they are, and they will slowly raise the hearts of those people.

"Daiyu is very smart. Grandma knows it. Use your eyes to look slowly and carefully."

The old lady thought for a long time, but still did not mention Jia Baoyu.

If this person was mentioned, it would be bad for Daiyu to take care of her.

Daiyu listened to her grandmother's words with red eyes, and hummed softly, "Daiyu knows." She thought for a long time in the room, and then took out the almost brand-new picture scroll that she kept.

The person in the painting is the mother, the mother drawn by Aunt Yun.

If the mother was still there, what would she say to herself?

Since her mother's death, her grandmother, who had always been like a castle in the air, was finally able to meet this time.

So what is Rongguo Mansion and grandmother like?

On the other side, the old lady also gave Luo Yu and the others advice.

To a certain extent, she regarded Jia's mansion as a scourge, and was afraid that something would happen to her granddaughter if she was not careful.

Calculating the age, Jia Baoyu is only seven years old now, so he can just refuse him to approach his granddaughters on the grounds that men and women have different seats at seven years old.

Before leaving, the old lady specially asked the three aunts to dress up well and bring out their advantages.

Dress up well?

This request was really weird. Aunt Mei's face was distorted when she heard the maid's report, and she suspected that she had heard it wrong.

Ever since the old lady asked them to go with her, she felt weird.

It's okay for ordinary people to invite them to a banquet, but that's Jia Min's natal family.

Is it appropriate for them to dress up beautifully in the past?

And it was the Duke's mansion after all, Aunt Mei was still guilty, so she went out of her way, and on that day, she dressed plainly.

Yingyu was a little surprised when she saw it. My aunt's aesthetics have been the same for decades, and she only loves gold. She has said it many times, but she has never heard of it. Today's dress surprised her.

Yun Shuyao didn't dress up too much, as usual when going out, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

She knew that she was going to be a backdrop this time, as long as she watched the show.

Even if she didn't read it, she knew that Dream of the Red Chamber was a tragedy. The heroine died, and the hero seemed to be a monk. Anyway, the ending was not very good.

Now it is different from the original book. The Lin family can be said to be completely different, and the relationship between the two families is also subtle. Is the old lady taking them there to show their intimate relationship with the Jia family?

impossible.

A group of people came out of Lin's Mansion in sedan chairs and arrived at Rongguo Mansion. Of course, they couldn't have entered through the corner gate.

The main gate is usually closed for no major events, but this time, it was opened.

The person who came was Mrs. Chaopinhou, the head of the Lin family. It would be unreasonable to go through the corner door.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng met him in the lobby, and when he arrived, they took him to the old lady.

Mrs. Lin's eyes swept across the carved beams and painted buildings, and saw Shi's well-dressed, she looked older than in the dream world.

It's because there are more unsatisfactory places than the dream world, and it deserves it.

Compared with Mrs. Lin's happiness, Mother Jia's heart seemed to be stabbed by something when she looked at Mrs. Lin.

You can tell from a person's face whether her life is going well or not.

The wrinkles on Xie's face were all stretched out, and he looked much younger than himself. It seems that the Lin family has had a good life in recent years.

The old lady was the first to speak out, with a smile on her face, but there was something wrong with what she said: "Long time no see, I feel relieved to see you as I imagined."

The smile on Jiamu's face froze immediately, as if she was saying that she got what she was like now.

Mother Jia took a look at Mrs. Xie, and she looked straight at herself. Mother Jia subconsciously withdrew her gaze, looked at the little man standing beside her, and took a closer look. She seemed to see the young man in a trance. Min'er staggered forward a few steps: "This is my poor Daiyu, grandma can be considered to have seen you. Among so many children, I love your mother the most. Unfortunately, she is an unfilial person." , I left you and I went like this, did she ever think about how sad we would be..." Jia's mother cried sincerely, Daiyu is a sensitive person, and when she cried like this, she thought of her mother again The care she gave to herself while she was alive made her eyes turn red: "Grandmother..."

The old lady hugged Daiyu, and chuckled: "Don't worry, my in-laws, she will come to see you after talking about it a few more times. When the time comes, both of you, mother and daughter, express your sincere feelings."

Wang Xifeng next to her opened and closed her mouth, closed and opened her mouth again, she was always sharp-tongued, but this time, how did she feel that there was something in Mrs. Lin's words?

She didn't dare to speak easily.
