Xichun is a Buddhist practitioner [Red Chamber]

In the living room, Lin Hai nodded slightly after hearing Jia Xichun's words, "It's Uncle."

"Does Uncle want to eat cakes?" Jia Xichun asked, and was going to ask the maid to bring a plate of cakes to Lin Hai.

"Thank you, princess." Under Xiao Linqi's attention, Lin Hai took the pastry plate.

"Father!" Seeing his father's actions, Xiao Linqi hurriedly yelled, the cakes on these plates were all different, if his father took away one plate, he would not be able to eat that flavor, "Give me a piece!"

"..." Lin Hai thought his son wanted to follow him again, but he never expected his son to say such a thing.It seems that as a father, I am not as good as those pastries.

Finally, Lin Hai took a piece of pastry and put the plate on the small table next to it.He had to taste how the cakes tasted and why his son liked them so much.

After Lin Hai took a bite, he nodded slightly, "It tastes good."

"It's mine!" Seeing that his father seemed to like it very much, Xiao Lin prayed, struggling authentically, "And sister's, mother, um... Dad can ask for another piece."

Dad just came back, what if he doesn't feed him, what if dad is unhappy and leaves again.

Xiao Linqi was worried, "Two more yuan, it's fine."

Lin Hai was amused by his son's tangled appearance, "No need, you eat, I'll go see Brother Rong first."

Seeing Lin Hai, Mrs. Zhang went to see Brother Rong just like that, and ordered her servants to bring some pastries over.Speaking of which, Lin Hai is also a little thin, maybe he was on a hurry.

"The cakes at my cousin's house are all delicious, and this kid keeps talking about them." Jia Min laughed, "As soon as I came here, I looked around, and I wondered what he was looking at. It turned out that he was waiting for the cakes from the house." .”

"Exactly!" Jia Xichun nodded, "Little cousin isn't waiting for me, he's waiting for cakes!"

Jia Xichun said that a cutie like himself has no charm in front of his little cousin, who only thinks about food.Look, the big white rabbits are leaning towards themselves. The big white rabbits who are always on the verge of life and death finally realized the problem and were afraid of death.

The big fat orange was not worried, because the little cousin didn't always think about the big fat orange, at most he asked once, asking if a cat like the big fat orange was good to eat.I asked once, and after knowing that everyone didn't eat cats, the little cousin didn't bother to pay attention to Big Fat Orange.

The little cousin would occasionally bring a few leaves of green vegetables to the big white rabbit, but the big fat orange had nothing, an inedible thing, how could it be possible to enjoy the preferential treatment of a snack.

The reason why Xiao Linqi occasionally brought a few leaves of green vegetables to the white rabbit was because he thought that he might be able to eat the white rabbit one day. In order for the white rabbit to taste better, he should feed it more, so as not to lose weight in vain.

"Delicious." Xiao Linqi held the pastries with both hands, saying that the pastries brought by the little cousin were all delicious.

"Then eat." Lin Daiyu saw that her younger brother's mouth was stuffed with cakes, and his speech was a little vague, so she chuckled, "With your little cousin, don't worry about whether you have finished eating. When you are done, you can bring some back."

Lin Daiyu was not polite to Jia Xichun either, the two of them often played together, so they knew that Princess Tai'an was a good-natured person, so it was impossible to care so much about them.Furthermore, it was not the first time that my younger brother brought pastries back from General Wei Lie's mansion. Princess Tai'an also brought some pastries every time he went to Lin's house.

She has long been used to it, because the general Wei Lie's mansion treats them so well, the gifts her mother gives to General Wei Lie's mansion during the festivals are also generous.Although Lin Daiyu is young, she has learned some things from Jia Min, so she knows this. Sometimes there is no need to care about so many things between relatives.

"But Baibai still can't eat." Xiao Linqi said with emotion, "It's the Chinese New Year again."

The big white rabbit is about to celebrate the Chinese New Year again, but this year he still didn't eat Baibai, he only ate Baibai's substitute.

If you don't eat it, you don't know how delicious it is or how unpalatable it is.Xiao Linqi just looked at the big white rabbit so white and fat, and never got to eat it, so he always thought about it. Every time he saw the big white rabbit alive, he expressed regret.

Jia Min was not surprised when he heard his son's words. It was not the first time that his son said this in front of Princess Tai'an, and he was worried about the princess's pets in front of the princess, and he was not afraid of annoying him.Fortunately, Princess Tai'an was not angry, so Jia Min let his son go.

"You can still say that next year." Jia Xichun never thought about stewing Bai Bai, she also wanted to make Bai Bai and Pangpang live longer.But let them live longer, but it is impossible to live too long, otherwise people outside will feel that there is a problem.

After all, the lifespans of rabbits and cats are placed there, and they can live longer, just like the long-lived humans among humans, but it can't be too long.

Thinking of this, Jia Xichun felt a little melancholy, both Baibai and Pangpang were her favorites, so cute, if they were gone, she would have to raise pets again.How about this, let Baibai and Pangpang 'die' first, and then shrink, so that Baibai and Pangpang can continue to stay by her side.

"It's so boring to repeat the same words every year." Every time Xiao Linqi came to General Wei Lie's mansion, he prayed to God to let his little cousin stew in vain, but every time he saw Bai Bai alive and kicking.

"Tai'an, you can take your cousin and cousin to your place to play." Mrs. Zhang said, lest they stay here, she and Jia Min would have trouble talking.

"Children bring children, adults want to talk." Jia Xichun stuck out his tongue, "Got it."

So Jia Xichun took Lin Qi and Lin Daiyu away first, and took away a few plates of pastries by the way, not leaving too many pastries for Jia Min and Mrs. Zhang.Before leaving, Xiao Linqi grabbed a pastry on the pastry plate in front of Jia Min, and then left.

Seeing his son's actions, Jia Min laughed out loud, "What a greedy little cat."

"Plump is the cat, I'm not." Xiao Linqi turned around and said something to his mother before walking out.

Jia Min shook her head slightly, this is her son.After they left, Jia Min said to Mrs. Zhang, "This time, I'm afraid I'm going to tear myself apart with my second sister-in-law."

"She returned your annual gift?" Mrs. Zhang knew about this. The Rongguo Mansion itself was leaking from all directions, and the Lin family and the Rongguo Mansion had to pass through the street to give and return gifts. There were always some people who knew about the situation. Rumors arose.

It's just that this rumor is not a big rumor. Besides, there is an old lady Jia in Rongguo Mansion, who is Jia Min's elder.And when the servants sent gifts back to the Lin family, those gifts were not spread out, they were all packed in boxes, and the value of this kind of boxed ones could not be seen from the outside at all.

This is why Mrs. Wang dared to do that, because no one saw it, so no one knew the real situation.If someone really said it, Mrs. Wang could still say that there were valuable things in the box.

"Isn't it, I chose today on purpose." Jia Min gritted her teeth, "This is for my husband to see."

When Jia Min thought of this, she became angry. What Mrs. Wang did was too irritating.If it was put at other times, she could bear it for a while, but Mrs. Wang did that on purpose just after her husband returned to the capital.Is it to make people think that Mrs. Wang returned the gift, to make people outside think that the Rongguo Mansion values ​​the Lin family, or to let Lin Hai know that the Rongguo Mansion looks down on his daughter.

Sending it off at such a critical moment is really her good second sister-in-law.

Mrs. Zhang saw that Jia Min was so angry, but she didn't try to persuade her. It was a matter between the Rongguo Mansion and Jia Min, and it was their private matter. Although she was Jia Min's cousin, she couldn't talk too much about it.

"It's hard for me to say anything about this." Mrs. Zhang said bluntly, "Although I am your cousin, the relationship between the two families is far away."

The relationship with Jia Min is far away, and the relationship with Rongguo Mansion is also far away.But this does not mean that she has a good relationship with Jia Min, so she can go to Rongguo Mansion.Mrs. Zhang doesn't want to get involved too much, it's better to be wise and protect herself.

Jia Min didn't expect Mrs. Zhang to say anything, because she also knew that although the people from General Wei Lie's Mansion and Rongguo Mansion were considered to be the same ancestors, after several generations, the relationship has gradually become estranged, especially in the past few years. The relationship is even worse.

General Weilie's Mansion is adjacent to Rongguo Mansion, General Weilie's Mansion is no longer the Duke's Mansion, and those people in Rongguo Mansion always look down on General Weilie's Mansion, just like Mrs. Wang.Furthermore, Jia Zhen is the patriarch, not from the mansion next door. General Weilie's mansion also has the favored Princess Tai'an, but even so, the Rongguo Mansion next door may not be as good as General Weilie's mansion.

It can be seen from the exchanges between the two families, and it can be seen even more when looking at how Mrs. Wang treats Mrs. Zhang and Princess Tai'an.

"Today, when I tell my sister-in-law these things, I don't want my sister-in-law to stand by me. I just tell my sister-in-law that I will never get along with my second sister-in-law." Jia Min said, "If we are outside in the future, I don't need to show her face anymore."

This face will be torn sooner or later, Jia Min has not treated Mrs. Wang that well before, and it will only get worse in the future.

"If you don't give her face, don't give it." Anyway, I didn't give Madam Wang any face. Mrs. Zhang herself is much older than Jia Min and Madam Wang, and she doesn't want to communicate with Madam Wang.She didn't want to pay attention to Mrs. Wang, and wondered why Jia Baoyu wasn't named the county king.

Hehe, Mrs. Wang didn't know what she was thinking all day long. A person like Jia Baoyu didn't kill him directly, but he had to be raised. She still thought so much, whether it was something wrong with her brain.They still compare Jia Xichun and Jia Baoyu every day. Is it meaningful to compare women with men?

Can a man be an emperor, but a woman can be an emperor casually?

Mrs. Zhang doesn't want to talk about Mrs. Wang, otherwise, she will feel very tired.On weekdays, as long as the Rongguo Mansion did not invite them, they would not go to the Rongguo Mansion. The small gate between the two mansions became less and less necessary.

She also doesn't want to meet Mrs. Wang, and then hear Mrs. Wang say why you didn't come over.As if they were trying to curry favor with the Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Zhang always felt very bad when she thought of this, which had something to do with the relatively low seniority of General Wei Lie's mansion.

When the seniority is low, it is not so convenient to do things, and one has to worry about the elders.If the elders press again, this matter will not be so easy to handle.

"Brother Rong calls you aunt." Mrs. Zhang said, "I'm so much older than you, I can be your mother."

Although Mrs. Zhang is not as old as Mrs. Jia, she is still very old.But this seniority is really low, General Wei Lie's mansion is generally a generation lower than Rongguo mansion.This lower generation is enough, and when it comes to handling things, it will be constrained.

Mrs. Zhang can't think about why Mrs. Jia is still alive. If Mrs. Jia is not alive, the two families will be about the same.But at the same age, Jia Rong is still lower than Jia Lian, and Jia Rong still has to be called Uncle Jia Baoyu.

"That's true." Jia Min didn't know what to say when he heard this, as this seniority was indeed placed there.Embarrassed but polite smile, as a married woman, she can show no shame to Mrs. Wang.

And Mrs. Wang married into the Jia family, so she was considered a member of the Jia family. It was not good to lose face in a clan, and it would not make others think that the members of their family were not united.

This is really...Jia Min can only say that this kind of thing can only be tolerated, and it can't be seen as a joke.In the eyes of outsiders, the Rongguo Mansion and General Wei Lie's Mansion both belong to the Jia family. If the bones are broken and the tendons are connected, the two families must not make too much noise.

When Lin Hai met Jia Rong, he knew that Jia Rong had gone to the patrol camp.The ancestors of the Jia family started their family with martial arts, not a family with profound heritage.It's just that in these two generations, the members of the Jia family read more books and transferred texts, but they did not continue to practice martial arts.

In Lin Hai's view, it is very necessary to switch from military to civil. After all, the imperial court has been relatively peaceful over the years and does not need so many military officers.Military officers who do nothing will have to be abolished sooner or later, because they have wasted a lot of money from the court.

Perhaps some descendants of the four kings and eight lords have not noticed this, and are still very hedonistic, thinking that their status is different.In fact, the emperor didn't want these people to continue to take money from the treasury for a long time.

Then think about the money from the treasury borrowed by those officials from the hands of the first emperor, which has not yet been repaid. This in itself is a sharp sword.The current emperor can ask them to pay back at any time. As for those who care about veterans, just find evidence of their crimes, say that they are greedy for pleasure and do not return the money from the treasury, and label them as disloyal and unrighteous. .

Those people don't care about those people, they only think that the emperor has done a good job.Most of the people did not live such a good life, and some lived very hard.Therefore, when the emperor copied those people's homes, the common people would clap their hands and applaud.

Water can carry a boat and overturn it. This water refers to the people.If the people are happy, then the emperor has more reason to torment those people, and those loyal and virtuous officials naturally dare not say no.And those old ministers who don't want to pay back the money are mostly not clear-headed, and they can't see the form clearly.

"Do you still study on weekdays?" Lin Hai asked Jia Rong.

"Read some." Jia Rong was a little embarrassed, "Although I used to read, I couldn't read well. After I arrived at the patrol camp, I found that I still need to read some books."

There are many sons of aristocratic families in the patrol camp, as well as those sons of officials, who have been tempered in the past.Those people would not laugh at Jia Rong too much, but Jia Rong saw that others were doing so well, and when she looked at herself, she instantly felt that she was very useless.

Therefore, Jia Rong also wanted to learn more, thinking that if she wanted to stand up in the future, she would have to support General Wei Lie's mansion.Now that he understands a lot, it is naturally different from before.

"You should read more. People who follow martial arts are not reckless, and they understand this." Lin Hai nodded slightly. He heard that Jia Rong was a playboy in his early years, and he played with maids all day long.

Looking at Jia Rong now, he thinks that Jia Rong is doing well now.As long as Jia Rong can still be so sensible in the future, then General Wei Lie's mansion will not worry.

With the princess of Tai'an around, the emperor would definitely not be able to embarrass General Weilie's mansion too much. If Jia Rong stands up again, then General Weilie's mansion can still maintain its glory for a hundred years.Of course, this glory is not as brilliant as the founding ancestors, but they can continue to live a life of prosperity and wealth.

On the other side, Jia Xichun and others are still children, but they don't care about those things.They were sitting in the house eating pastries, feeding the big fat orange with dried fish, and stroking the ears of the big white rabbit.

"Little cousin, I have a father." Xiao Linqi excitedly said to Jia Xichun when he was almost done eating, "I have a father."

"Yes, yes!" Jia Xichun nodded with a smile.

"If there is, what do you say?" Lin Daiyu heard her younger brother say this, and thought that although Jia Xichun had a father, his cousin's father had always been in the Taoist temple, and he didn't treat his cousin very well.I heard that my cousin almost took poison elixir some time ago.

Therefore, Lin Daiyu was afraid that Xiaolin Qi's words would make Jia Xichun sad.

"Uncle is here, it's great." Jia Xichun didn't think about whether he had a father or not, anyway, his life was pretty good.

It would be better for Lin Hai to return to Beijing, then the Lin family will be together, and Lin Daiyu will be even more stubborn.The most important thing is that Jia Xichun has earned a lot of merit from the Lin family. For her, merit is the most important thing. Of course, Lin Daiyu's family must also live well.

Time flies, and this year has passed again.Before the first month passed, Mrs. Jia called Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng to the Rongqing Hall together, and directly threw the gift list that Mrs. Wang gave to the Liu family and the Lin family in front of Mrs. Wang.

"Look at the good deeds you have done!" Mrs. Jia said with a cold face.

As soon as Mrs. Wang saw those gift slips, she cried out secretly, she turned her head and looked at Wang Xifeng, thinking that this niece must have done it.

"Auntie, what do you want me to do?" Wang Xifeng didn't call Mrs. Wang Aunt, but followed Jia Lian to call Mrs. Wang Aunt. "A year ago, I didn't have a housekeeper."

Of course Mrs. Wang knew that Wang Xifeng didn't have a housekeeper, she just thought that the other party brought the gift list to Mrs. Jia.

"See what she's doing?" Mrs. Jia is a shrewd person. Regardless of her age, she is not so easy to be fooled.

"Mother, is this gift list given to you by Feng girl?" Mrs. Wang said calmly, thinking that she must be steady, there is no need to worry.Wang Xifeng wanted to seize power, but she couldn't let Wang Xifeng succeed. "These two gift lists are too many to count. They are all fake. They are really still in my house."

"Oh?" Mrs. Jia became angrier when she saw Mrs. Wang like this.The second daughter-in-law thought that Wang Xifeng brought the gift list, but she didn't know that it was Jia Min who brought it from the Lin family, and that she sent someone to get other gift lists.

"These two copies were wrongly written. They were supposed to be from the Lin family, but they were accidentally written wrongly." Mrs. Wang said, "After the revision, I didn't have time for a while, so the real gift list was put in my room."

Mrs. Wang's meaning is also very obvious, that is, she was too busy and tired at that time, and the gift list has been revised. These two gift lists are fake, and there are too many things to do, so she only said that Wang Xifeng wanted to harm her.
