The Weight of the Red Mansion Walks the Road of Life

Chapter 73

These matters of the Lin family are still a secret at least for this period of time.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Lin family is as peaceful as a pool of stagnant water, and nothing has happened. Even in the eyes of those who pay attention to the Lin family's every move all the time, it is at most that the Lin family has added a young servant—as for this young servant, he has no legal status. Who would know about this matter? No one around would be so bored as to go to the yamen to check the background and history of every servant in the Lin family.Even Jia Min, who was the only one who might leak the news, kept silent about the matter because she didn't want to trust her natal family, so that she didn't have to worry about outsiders knowing what was going on here.

As for the estrangement between Jia Min and her natal family, apart from the fact that when Jia Min was seriously ill, Jia's mother preferred to take Baochai over to raise her—at that time, she could comfort herself that Jia's mother was only worried about her daughter's death—a while ago. It was the last straw that broke the camel's back when Jia's mother intended to kiss her and promised her daughter to Baoyu.

The difference is that when Jia's mother intended to pick up Baochai before, Jia Min had a violent temper tantrum and cried for a while, but the later letter could only make Jia Min silent for a while and then completely give up, even tears Never dropped a drop.

Living in the south of the Yangtze River, she doesn't know much about her natal family. She does know that Mother Jia is partial to this little grandson who was born with a title of jade. Although she has never believed in this so-called natural miracle, she would rather believe it because Mother Jia It was a gimmick that came up with a preference for the second brother Jia Zheng.But she never thought that Mother Jia's preference for this grandson has reached such a point.

She didn't believe that Mother Jia didn't know what the Wang family did to the Lin family, and she didn't believe that Mother Jia didn't know that the Wang family was full of malice towards her, but Mother Jia still made such a suggestion, and it was self-evident for what reason.

The Lin family was originally handed down from a single lineage of five generations of princes. The oil and water earned by several generations of officials plus the generous dowries of the previous mistresses added up to a lot of good things.And the Lin family has been passed down to this generation, and there is only such a daughter left, unless Lin Ruhai is really willing to hand over all the wealth of the Man Slam family to the treasury, according to common sense, all of these should be Baochai's dowry.

Jia Min, as the former daughter of the Jia family and now the mistress of the Lin family, can say with certainty that Baochai's dowry in the future will definitely be several times richer than the Jia family's internal treasury when Jia Daishan was still the most prosperous.In addition, Lin Ruhai now sees that there is only such a son-in-law, so he has to do his best to support him in his official career, and he doesn't worry about his future.

No matter how you calculate it, it will be of infinite benefit to Jia Baoyu, and it can even be said to be beneficial without any disadvantage.But I also want to know how her daughter will be rubbed if she really falls into Mrs. Wang's hands in the future... It is impossible for Jia's mother not to understand what is going on here, and she can bear it...

Leaving aside the gap between Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng, if it weren't for the name of being closer, judging by Jia Zheng's official position, his second son would not be worthy of Lin Ruhai's eldest daughter, let alone his eldest daughter. Not to mention that Mrs. Wang was still there, Jia Min could only nod and agree to this matter unless she was stupid.

But don't say anything about the so-called granddaughter being a granddaughter-in-law and being close to each other. Mother Jia has already lived a long life. If you are not filial, who can guarantee how many years she will live. In the future, there will always be Mrs. Wang A day to call the shots.

So far, Jia Min has completely lost confidence in her natal family, and the rest is at most willing to give up one or two money to buy a gift according to the old calendar. There is no sincerity in it, just to maintain her reputation The harmony on the surface just doesn't want to have side effects, but as for any intimate private talk, don't even think about it.It just so happened that Jia's family was not very meticulous, they only saw that the various festivals and birthdays did not change every time they went home, and no one found out that Jia Min was divorced from the family.

After completely leaving the Jia family's affairs behind, the daily progress of the Lin family is warm and slow.

As an immigrant, Zheng Chong is still under observation, so it is naturally impossible for him to have any chance to get in touch with the eldest lady of the Lin family, and Baochai, the well-known master of the Lin family, cannot easily wrong himself for an outsider, and his scope of activities is restricted. Naturally, only Zheng Chong was left.

Not only did Lin Ruhai have to consider him comprehensively in all aspects, but Jia Min's test was actually not so easy. Only after these two people expressed their trust in Zheng Chong could he be allowed to get along with Baochai.There is still enough time for the left and right Lin family, and they are not in a hurry for this matter, and if Zheng Chonghui changes his mind because of this test of the Lin family, it will naturally prove that he is even more unlikely to be a suitable person for the Lin family.

However, this is the work of adults. As a child who has not left the cabinet, Baochai's life is not affected much, and he doesn't even know that there is an extra person in the family.

Although Jia Min has handed over all the internal affairs of the Lin family in order to train his daughter, no matter how capable Baochai is, after all, he is still young and immature, and Jia Min has not only managed the family for more than 20 years, but also Even if the serious Lin family mistress has let go of power now, if she really wants to bypass Baochai and do something, it is a breeze.According to Jia Min's words, Baochai will always take over the Lin family from her in the future, and one day when Baochai can fully rely on her own ability to take over from her instead of letting her delegate power, that will be It's really too early to be a teacher.

At least nowadays, Baochai naturally has no way of knowing anything that Jia Min doesn't want Baochai to know.As for whether there is an extra servant in the front yard who is impossible to come to the backyard, after all, Zheng Chong is not a long-term servant who has signed a contract, and he can't alarm Baochai at all.

Although with the temperament of the Lin family, it is impossible to do things like ordering people around for nothing, but Zheng Chong's identity is different after all. If he can really become the Lin family in the future, then it is actually nothing to have a history of being a servant of the Lin family. Good thing, Zheng Chong still has the dowry property left by his mother and the Li family's subsidy, and there is no shortage of this money, so it is simply regarded as someone who borrows money and things to live in the Lin family, and is not considered a servant of the Lin family .

Although Baochai has become the heir of the Lin family, because of the difference between men and women, she mostly learns about the affairs in the backyard, and does not interfere with the affairs of the male guests in the front yard of the Lin family—after all, even if she really does in the future She inherited the Lin family, which should be her husband's concern, and has nothing to do with her.So if it is said that she has no feeling for Zheng Chong's existence, it is actually not unusual.

But it is impossible for Zheng Chong not to know about Baochai's existence, not to mention that he would not have come to the Lin family if he hadn't known that there was a girl in the Lin family at the beginning, even if Baochai often came to the front yard later, it was impossible for him Know nothing.At most, under Lin Ruhai's effective precautions, Zheng Chong never had a chance to get close to Baochai.Naturally, Baochai has no obstacles in Lin's family, and Lin Ruhai doesn't really intend to raise her daughter to a shy personality who doesn't go out of the house. Except for the backyard of the inner house belonging to the female family members, Baochai only needs to be sure that there are no outsiders in Lin Ruhai's place. , and often went to the front yard, which would have given Zheng Chong a chance to meet people.

Under Lin Ruhai's intentional isolation, Zheng Chong certainly did not have the opportunity to have direct contact with Baochai, but it does not mean that he has no impression of Baochai.After all, he lives in the Lin family anyway, so as long as he wants to, he can always meet people.

As for then...

Young Muai is really a very delicate word.

For the selfishness of Shenying's waiter, Fairy Jinghuan coaxed Jiangzhu and other ghosts and immortals to go down to the world to practice. Although there is also her selfishness in this, but no matter how insignificant these people are, they have gone down to the world to experience and have immortality. Jing Huan has not treated people badly in some sections at least.For example, these people who have gone down to the mortal world for experience do have a good skin, coupled with the innate aura brought out from the soul, it is really enough to make anyone crazy.

Especially for a real young man.

In fact, Lin Ruhai didn't mind Zheng Chong's little thoughts, the power to control Zheng Chong was too small, if he really had some bad thoughts, it would not be difficult to deal with it with the Lin family's ability, and it would never cause any bad things to Baochai. Influence.As long as Zheng Chong won't mislead his own daughter, Lin Ruhai will turn a blind eye to other matters.

But what made Lin Ruhai satisfied was that no matter what thoughts Zheng Chong had in mind, he didn't really reach out to Baochai's side, even if he thought of some young people, he didn't think of any crooked tricks.It's not because Zheng Chongzhen is a pedantic reader or a natural saint, it's because he's really tired and busy at the moment, and he hasn't thought of these crooked ways yet.

Although as a father's instinct, Lin Ruhai may not be willing to look up to his son-in-law so early, but it does not prevent his mind as a scholar from making troubles and teaching Zheng Chong as his younger half disciple.

Lin Ruhai is a serious scholar, so he will naturally cherish each other. Zheng Chong's reading talent is really good, even if he may not be considered a genius, but if it is not for the Zheng family's business, it may not be without impact if he reads it well. The hope of the head armor is already extremely rare among poor scholars.And although Zheng Chong has temporarily been unable to continue his studies and progress due to various reasons, he is still a studious temperament. Although he may not be able to continue the imperial examination in the future, he still cherishes the opportunity to study very much. Although he is busy, he may not stop thinking about it. The girl from the Lin family he met secretly, but at least he didn't have time to think too much about what was there and what was missing, and Lin Ruhai's impression of Zheng Chong had subconsciously increased a lot.
