The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber

By the time Lin Ruhai and Lin Qing's family got better, it was already the end of Xu time, and it was too late to stay any longer. Surrounded by the Lin family, Lin Ruhai left the Lin family's door and went back to his own home.

At home, Jia Min brought a pair of children. Seeing that he hadn't returned home, she was anxiously waiting.

It was only yesterday that she found out about Lin Qing's affairs. Jia Min felt a little strange that many concubine brothers came out for no reason.But under Lin Ruhai's explanation, she also clearly understood that although this incident was unexpected to their family, it was actually a good thing.

The biggest problem of the Lin family is that they don't have many children, but Lin Qing already has three sons and two daughters, and even his family has three grandchildren.Such a comparison made Lin Ruhai even more desolate.

Gusu Lin's family has money and status, but unfortunately they don't have enough clan members to support them, while Lin Qing's family has ideas, but they don't have the status and money for them to show their talents.Now if the two can be combined, it can be described as a win-win situation, which is good for both.

Of course, the premise is that Lin Qing's family is not the kind of people who can't figure it out, and they can get along well with them.

Facts have proved that their family is very lucky, and Lin Qing's family is also lucky.

Among Lin Ruhai, who came back late, Lin Qing's family was easy to get along with, from Mrs. Lin to Brother Zhao under Ping'er's knee.Another one, Lin Ruhai is an official after all, Lin Qiong is the only one in the Lin family who has fame, and they will rely on Lin Ruhai more in the future. Everyone is a person rolling in the world, so naturally they will not offend Lin Ruhai's family.

Jia Min's heart gradually settled down, but Lin Daiyu and Lin Lang didn't think so much.

"Father, will we have a brother and a sister-in-law tomorrow? I heard that there is a younger sister. How old is the younger sister?"

Lin Daiyu tugged on Lin Ruhai's sleeve, so excited she wanted to jump up.

She was so happy. For the past six months, Lin Daiyu had been frequenting Jia's house, and would go to various houses to have dinner with Jia Min or Wang Xifeng.Seeing that other families seem to have older brothers and sisters, but her family has only two brothers and sisters, and the relatives and friends nearby are gone, sometimes it is inevitable to feel lost in my heart.

Another one, Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian, husband and wife, treated Sanchun and his younger brothers with great care.Naturally, as cousins, Lin Daiyu and Lin Dong also received a lot of care, especially Daiyu, who was specially taken care of by Wang Xifeng because of her previous life.

But the more so, the more Daiyu thought, if only she had an older brother or sister.Maybe it's as capable as Jia Lian, or as gentle and amiable as Yingchun, or even if it's okay to love younger siblings, wouldn't it be fun to play with a large group of people.

Now this wish is about to come true.

Lin Ruhai stroked her daughter's shoulders and motioned her to calm down: "There are two cousins, one cousin, one cousin, and another cousin, and they will come home tomorrow. Yu'er, you and Dong Geer Together, help us take care of our cousin."

Lin Daiyu and Lin Dong nodded again and again, both of them were extremely excited.

Jia Min shook her head with a smile, and sent her maid to take the two of them to rest: "It's late at night, go to bed quickly, and you have to get up early tomorrow. You are all big girls now, so you are not allowed to lie in front of those brothers and sisters." I can't get up in bed."

Daiyu was a little shy when she heard the words, and stuck to Jia Min like a twisted candy.This refers to the fact that she got up late the next day because she stayed up late to make incense a few days ago.

The family of four chatted a few more words, and the two younger ones went back to rest.

When everyone dispersed, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min lay on the bed, talking in a low voice.

"Jingming Courtyard and Heming Courtyard, I have asked someone to clear them out today, but my elder brother has a large family, so I'm afraid they won't be able to accommodate them. Taoqi and Guige are also good places, so the two girls from his family will be housed in Taoqi for the time being. The scenery in that courtyard is extremely beautiful, I originally planned to make it a place for Yuer to enjoy in the spring, but now it’s better to move it for her use.”

"As for Brother Qiong and his wife, how about living in the Gui Pavilion? There are golden osmanthus planted all over it. It just so happens that Brother Qiong will be in the spring next year, so it will be a good fortune."

Lin Ruhai naturally had everything to do, held Jia Min's hand and said: "Madam put it in very well, I heard there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that Taoqi's place is intended to be given to Yu'er, so there is no need to take it out. Just choose another place, after all, our Yuer and Brother Dong are the most important."

But Jia Min didn't care, she held Lin Ruhai back and said, "I chose the Yifeng Courtyard, and the scenery is just as good. Yu'er loves the three-story building in that courtyard very much, and she can use it as a study, probably even more so." It's what she wants. It's just that the Yifeng Courtyard is a little far away from ours, so I was a little worried before, but now that I think about it, I'm bothering myself."

Lin Ruhai heard this, and thought about the scenery of Yifengyuan, it was much better than Taoqi, that's all.

The two couples have also been tired for a few days due to Yingchun's marriage recently, so they stopped chatting and went to bed without mentioning it.

In the early morning of the second day, Lin Ruhai came back from the yamen. He had something to do at home today, so he just clicked a dick and turned around.Lin Daiyu and Lin Dong were also very excited. After eating breakfast obediently, they waited with Jia Min for Lin Qing's family to come.

At this time, Lin Qing's family took three carriages and slowly stopped at the gate of Lin's residence.Lin Ruhai took Lin Dong together and waited at the door of the house. Although the middle door of the Lin family hadn't been opened, the side door was wide open, giving Lin Qing's family enough face.

When Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin saw this, their hearts dropped three points, and they helped the servant girl out of the carriage: "Lord Lau Lin has been waiting for a long time, we are late to go out."

Lin Ruhai replied with a smile: "Where is it, I just came back from the yamen. My wife and daughter are inconvenient to go out, so they are waiting inside, old lady, old man, let's go in."

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone filed in. Jia Min had already received the news and led Lin Daiyu to wait at the Chuihua Gate.

As soon as we met, Jia Min took the lead in saying hello: "Yesterday I wanted to visit the old lady and the old man, but it was too late to bother me. I have been thinking about it all night, and today I can be regarded as meeting. Let's go to the flower hall to drink tea and have a rest, so we can talk."

As Jia Min's daughter-in-law and the wife of a second-rank official, this gesture is sincere enough.

The old lady of the Lin family also replied with a smile: "Madam Lin, you are polite. I often hear Brother Qiong's daughter-in-law mention you as the most kind person, and now I see you, it is true. This is Sister Yu, right? She really has a noble bearing, as expected of being brought up by Madam."

As Old Madam Lin said, she took out a jade pendant from her bosom and stuffed it into Daiyu's hand: "Good girl, just play with it."

The jade pendant is shiny and moist, warm to the touch, it is a rare warm jade.In the Lin family, they are all treasures that can be passed on to the family. There is only one piece that is the size of a palm, and two jade pendants were made. Both were given away by Mrs. Lin today.

A bamboo-shaped one was given to Lin Dong, and the one given to Daiyu was carved into a budding lotus.

Daiyu looked at Jia Min's expression, then bent over and took it over, "Thank you, old lady."

Afterwards, a group of people meandered into the backyard. Lin Ruhai resolutely let Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin take the honorable seats, and let Lin Qing and his wife take the seat. head.

Brothers Lin Lang and Lin Qiong also sat down in turn, and Lin Qing's two concubine daughters and one concubine were also seated according to their age.

At this time, Jia Min greeted the servant girl to bring some tea and snacks, and ordered Lidong and Lixia beside him to bring up trays: "It's a good fortune, we are members of the same family, but we only met for the first time after so many years. Don’t dislike the frivolity of a meeting gift prepared by a child.”

After all, he got up himself, took things from the tray, and started to divide them from Lin Lang.

When Lin Lang started martial arts, what he got was a dagger that cut iron like mud, and it was cold and cold even from a long distance.This dagger was obtained by the great-grandfather of the Lin family from the battlefield. It is a rare magical weapon. However, most of the Lin family are literary, so it has been sealed in the warehouse for a hundred years, and now it has finally seen the light of day.

For Lin Qiong's writing, Jia Min prepared a set of four treasures of the study, all of which are high-quality goods. Among them, the piece of ink is a sacred product bestowed by the former emperor, and Lin Ruhai is not willing to use it.Now it is given to Lin Qiong, which is enough to show Lin Ruhai's expectation of him.

As for Lin Lang's wife, Li Shi, and Lin Qiong's wife, Ping'er, each got a set of red gold and silk inlaid red envelope jewelry.The price is second, but these two sets of jewelry are indeed old objects handed down by the ancestors of the Lin family. The gold threads are thinner than hair, and they are made by the best craftsmanship.

Lin Qing's concubine, Lin Tang, is only six years old this year. Jia Min prepared a set of jade ornaments of the twelve zodiac signs for him.Needless to say, the quality of jade is excellent, and the carvings are also vivid, which is something that children will like.

Lin Qing's eldest daughter is twelve years old, and her second daughter is only nine years old. Because of their birth, both of them have rather introverted and sensitive personalities.Now that they are not familiar with each other, Jia Min didn't pay too much attention to it, so he gave a set of gold and jade jewelry, and it was over.

The three children of Lin Lang and Lin Qiong were also given longevity locks and safety charms. All in all, none of them should be left behind.

After the round of presents came down, the two parties became acquainted for the time being.

Lin Ruhai then sent a message: "Yu'er and Brother Dong are leading your sister-in-law, sister and brother to see their respective yards, do you like it? Nunnies and stewards hurry up and change it."

Daiyu and Lin Dong got up to promise, then smiled and led Li Shi, Ping'er and a few juniors out, leaving the flower hall for the adults to talk.

Among these people, Daiyu and Heping'er are the most familiar. The two have met several times at Jia's Wang Xifeng's place, and they have an antecedent relationship with Mrs. Lu, so they are very close.

Therefore, Ping'er took the lead in talking: "When I saw a girl before, I loved her so much in my heart. I never thought that we still have such a fate now."

Daiyu smiled and replied: "I used to think that my sister was kind, but now that my sister has become a sister-in-law, I feel even more lucky. I am the eldest in my family, and now I have two brothers and sisters-in-law and one sister. Yesterday I heard that News, I was so happy that I never fell asleep in the middle of the night."

Ping'er smiled and replied: "I always knew that the girl is capable. I heard that the yard is also cleaned up by the girl today? It's really amazing. You are only so old that you can do these things. No wonder Lian Er Grandma and my mother always like it."

Daiyu pursed her lips in embarrassment and smiled: "I don't know if the two brothers and sisters like it or not. The sisters' yard is next to mine, so we can talk and embroider together in the future. As for the younger brother, he and Brother Dong I lived in the outer courtyard with my son, but my mother ordered me to go down."

After speaking, everyone arrived at Jingming Courtyard, the woman who guarded the door opened the door, and everyone walked in.
