Lin Ji's struggling life

Lin Ji took Lin Daiyu back to Lin's house, butler Lin had already prepared everything, lying in the warm bed, Lin Daiyu slept beautifully until dawn.

The Lin family's house in the capital has been expanded, and it is much more spacious, and the distribution of gardens is very reasonable.When it was refurbished, a gardener from Jiangnan was hired. When Lin Daiyu came to Lin's house, she felt that everything was very satisfactory.After a good night's sleep and a comfortable meal, Lin Ji took Lin Daiyu to Jia's mansion in the afternoon.

Lin Ji took Lin Daiyu to Beijing, and the date of return was uncertain. Jia's mansion sent someone to wait at Lin's house. On the day Lin Daiyu arrived, Jia's mother received the news.The people sent to pick up Lin Daiyu were prevaricated by Lin Ji, and asked them to come back tomorrow on the grounds that Lin Daiyu was unwell.

The corner door of Lin's mansion opened, Lin Ji was riding in front, Lin Daiyu was in a carriage behind, and several carriages carrying boxes were attached to the tail, loaded with various gifts, the group went out to Jia's mansion.This time when she went to Beijing, Lin Daiyu should live in Jia's residence for a period of time. For this, Lin Ji prepared a lot and took care of every aspect as much as possible.

After passing through the bustling market and the deep lanes, we came to Rongguo Mansion.The lion outside the main entrance is lifelike, the golden letters on the plaque are shining brightly, and the aura of a wealthy family is coming to you.Lin Ji took Lin Daiyu into Jia's mansion through the corner gate, and as soon as he entered, Lin Ji was taken by Jia Lian to meet Jia She, and Jia Zheng was also waiting together in the study.

Lin Daiyu was carried by a sedan chair through the corridor of the main courtyard and into the courtyard where Jiamu was.

Lin Daiyu got out of the sedan chair after passing through the arch of hanging flowers, and Jia Mu led a group of people standing in the porch waiting.Lin Daiyu walked into the yard, and saw a trembling old lady holding a woman's hand, standing on the porch and looking around.She couldn't bear to take three steps at a time, and walked forward. Before she could introduce her, she was hugged by Mother Jia, crying heartily.

A group of people behind hurriedly helped to persuade him, and finally welcomed him into the hall. Jia Mu hurriedly took Lin Daiyu to the upper seat, looked at her for a long time, and then remembered to introduce her.Lin Daiyu met the two aunts one by one, and at the insistence of Ban Qian, kowtowed to Jiamu.

After all the etiquette, she sat down and let Jiamu ask all kinds of questions.Lin Daiyu is eloquent, and her pink-carved jade looks very much like Jia Min when she was a child. Jia's mother hugged her, but naturally she refused to let go.

Seeing this situation, Mrs. Wang, who was sitting next to her, was a little bit estranged. She pretended to be concerned and asked, "I heard that this girl seems to have a deficiency, but is she usually taking medicine?" He took Lin Daiyu's hand and pulled her over to have a closer look.

The half money standing on the side crossed half of his body, blocked Madam Wang's hand abruptly, and said, "Thank you Madam for your concern, my young lady is now in good health. Big problem."

When Jia Mu heard this, she couldn't help but also boasted, "It's Brother Ji, he is really a good boy."

When Mrs. Wang said this, the people behind Lin Daiyu were a little angry. Five of the women did not marry, and the eldest daughter was lost;Lin Daiyu originally took the headlines, but Mrs. Wang said this, so she didn't want to add one.In the era when the inheritance of children was valued, if this word spread, it would be no small matter, and it would be a great hindrance to Lin Daiyu's future marriage.

However, Ban Qian was a bit rude when speaking. As a servant girl, she could have such courage, so she was the face of the family.After hearing this, Mrs. Wang wanted to say a few more words, but seeing Mother Jia's eyes had already glanced over, she held back her mouth and didn't say anything.

Lin Daiyu was also well-behaved, knowing that the atmosphere was awkward, she hurriedly talked about the joys of traveling with her brother, which made Jia Mu laugh again and again.After a while, Lin Daiyu's status in Jia Mu's heart rose several levels.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside the door, I saw Yi opened the door curtain and walked in, and heard a voice before he showed up: "Hahaha, I am late, I have not had time to greet the delicate guest, I hope my sister will not be offended. "

Jia Mu introduced it to Lin Daiyu, her tone full of intimacy: "This is our famous hot and spicy guy here, just call her Feng Lazi."

Lin Daiyu immediately knew that she was cousin Lian's daughter-in-law and Mrs. Wang's niece, Wang Xifeng.

Lin Daiyu hurriedly got up to pay respects, and Wang Xifeng smiled brightly, "Sister, why do you need to be so polite, is it because I am late?" Then he said: "There is such a symbolic figure in the world, and this is the first time I have seen him today! She is not like the granddaughter of the ancestor, but the granddaughter of a direct relative. I can't blame my ancestor for talking every day and remembering it for a while. I only pity my sister who has such a hard life, why did my aunt pass away!" He wiped away his tears, which made Jia's mother cry too.

Looking at Ban Qian, he couldn't bear to talk, the people from the Jia family really knew how to act.She has been dissatisfied since she entered the door. This Jia's mansion may be to welcome the Golden Festival. The courtyard is full of lights and festoons. The servants are brightly dressed, and the juniors are also dressed in floral dresses. They have never paid attention to Jia Min's death. Li, and now she's being pitiful here again, in her eyes, her acting skills are really clumsy, making people laugh, and she doesn't pay attention at all.

Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun all dragged Lin Daiyu to ask questions, and they came and went, which was very lively.Girls of the same age get together and can always find something to talk about.Jia's mother often added a few words, and Wang Xifeng was able to reconcile the atmosphere by the side. For a while, the main hall was harmonious and harmonious.

And the one who didn't fit in was the stern-faced Mrs. Wang, who said abruptly, "Have you run out of monthly money?"

Wang Xifeng was taken aback for a moment, then said proudly: "It's over."

She wanted to show off, but was interrupted by Mrs. Wang, "So I will send a copy to the people around you, my sister. After all, if you want to live in the mansion, you should be more considerate."

Ban Qian didn't bother to talk at the moment, and ignored Mrs. Wang, letting her play freely, and Wang Xifeng naturally responded repeatedly, and Jia's mother nodded with some satisfaction.

Before Lin Daiyu could refuse, she settled the matter.Lin Daiyu didn't take it to heart either. She is also someone who has learned about the economy of the world. Following Lin Ji along the way, she has learned a lot about the customs of the world.

The monthly payment is just a little money, and she really doesn't pay attention to it.Her brother has taught her, and now she has 50 taels of silver every month, and the two small villages in her hands, one is given by her brother and the other is given by her father, which can have more than 300 taels.But now the first-class maidservants of the Lin family are paid one tael of silver a month. She only brings two first-class maids and four second-class maids, plus half the money, which is only a dozen or so taels. This little bit.

Originally, Lin Daiyu was supposed to go see the two uncles, but after sitting for a while, he heard the servant report that Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng would bring Lin Ji to Jiamu's place for dinner.After all, they were the brothers and sisters of the first relatives, and Mother Jia didn't let Sanchun and Lin Daiyu avoid suspicion. The group sat and chatted, waiting for dinner time.

Xichun was close to Lin Daiyu, so she asked curiously, "What books did my sister read?" It is a person with a well-thought-out plan.

"Zuo just read some idle books with my father and brother, so I can't get on the stage." Lin Daiyu said with a smile, "What do sisters do on weekdays? What entertainment do you have?" She doesn't have many friends in her boudoir, probably only a few The family members of Yangzhou officials do not have much daily contact.

Sanchun naturally knew that Lin Daiyu's father and elder brother were Tanhuas. This was not a joke. Even the emperor would look up to the Lin family for those who came from serious imperial examinations, let alone everyone in the Jia family.Everyone in Jia Zhu can become the pride of the Jia family, let alone Lin Ji.

Xichun said embarrassingly: "I like to paint and paint on weekdays. I heard that Mrs. Chen also praised Lin's cousin's paintings. I don't know if I will have a chance to look at them in the future." She smiled a little embarrassedly , Xichun has only one hobby on weekdays, and that is painting.But she didn't have the chance to learn from a famous teacher. She followed the teachers of the Jia family or practiced by herself. Even if she is talented, it is difficult to achieve success.

But Yingchun and Tanchun just smiled embarrassedly, they didn't want to make a fool of themselves in front of Lin Daiyu.Lin Daiyu saw that this topic could not go on, so she started talking about other things.The designs and colors of popular jewelry in Beijing were also brought out to talk about, one sentence per person, which was very lively.

Mother Jia watched them laughing and laughing, and she felt much happier.Seeing that the time was about the same, Mrs. Wang also interjected, "I will live in the mansion for a long time in the future, and my aunt just wants to tell you that I have a troublesome child, the devil king of the family, and you should ignore him from now on, you sisters None of them dared to provoke him."

When Jia Mu heard this, she was not happy. She had been secretly planning in her heart to get Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu to get married, so that Daiyu could stay by her side for a long time.But Mrs. Wang's words meant that she was clearly trying to drive a wedge between the two of them. What does it mean to be on guard before they meet? !

She was about to speak, but she heard Lin Daiyu curiously ask: "The elder brother who was born of the jade? I heard from my elder brother that only a person with great fortune can be in this situation." After she finished feeling, she said again : "The so-called men and women have different seats at seven years old. I am in the inner courtyard, and my cousin should live in the outer courtyard. How can we see each other often? Naturally, I can't hang out with him." She and her brother are not like this, You can only see it during meal time on weekdays.

As soon as Daiyu said this, everyone in the room who knew about it was a little embarrassed. Baoyu was already nine years old, but he still lived in the Bisha cabinet.Mrs. Xing listened silently, but secretly laughed in her heart.

"Your cousin is now living in my Bisha closet. Grandmother really can't bear him to live alone in the outer courtyard without anyone to take care of him." Jia's mother looked normal and changed the subject, "This time you come, stay here It’s good to stay with my grandmother. Among my children, your mother is the one who loves me the most. She sent me a white-haired person to a black-haired person. I haven’t seen each other yet. How can I not see you today? Sad and weeping." He said and wiped away his tears with a handkerchief.

Lin Daiyu hurriedly sat beside her, and comforted Jia Mu: "Grandmother keeps me, I really should come. When things in the house are arranged, I will move in and live with you."

This is what Lin Ji and Lin Daiyu discussed. It is okay to live in, and there must be an independent yard.She also saw that Mother Jia's courtyard is magnificent, and the decorations are mainly for celebrations. She is still in filial piety, and she doesn't want to go against her own heart for this.The best solution is to find a yard close to Jia's mother and live in it, which can be regarded as filial piety.

Before Jia's mother could answer, she heard a maid outside the door announce: "Master is here."
