[Red Mansion] Chronicles of a Girl in the Lin Family

A quarter of an hour had passed by the time Mo Yun packed up and went out again.Mo Yun swayed all the way to the main hall with Luo Yan Qingrui and a few little maids.Because the identities of the women who came from Rongguo Mansion were not enough, they just sat on the little twig brought by the maid.

When Mo Yun entered the hall, he saw these women dressed in red and green, with no gold and silver jewelry on their heads, and their faces were not very good-looking.

The maids around her also looked resentful when they saw the clothes of these women.Luo Yan is a straightforward person, if Qingrui on one side didn't stop her tightly, she might have gone up and scolded her a few times.

Fortunately, these women were not too stupid. When they saw Mo Yun coming in, they quickly got up and saluted, saying apologetic words.

However, before Mo Yun came, these people kept talking about the wealth and honor of the Lin Mansion in the living room. Now when they saw Mo Yun, they had to put on a sad look. laugh.

Mo Yun sat in the main seat in the hall, waived the salutations of the women, and said in a rambling voice: "I don't know what the nuns are doing in my Lin Mansion? But what orders does the old lady in the mansion have?"

The leading woman stood up, with a sad expression on her face, and said: "The old lady in the house heard that my aunt passed away, and almost fainted from crying. When I heard the news, I ordered me to come to express my condolences. But after all, the capital city It's a long way to Yangzhou, so I just arrived today, I hope the girl will not blame her."

Mo Yun hadn't said anything yet, but Luo Yan behind him couldn't help it, and said with a sneer, "I said I came to express my condolences, but I was wearing this red coat and green jacket. My wife passed away, and there was no one in charge." Come on, are you here to express your condolences? Heh." Hearing this, the women in the Rongguo Mansion looked embarrassed, and secretly scolded this little hoof for being too meddlesome.

Although Mo Yun felt that Luo Yan had spoken what was in her heart, she still wanted to give Rongguo Mansion some face.Therefore, I only called Luo Yan, and said to the woman: "Don't blame me, Madam, Luo Yan grew up with me since childhood, but I was spoiled by me, and I have no scruples in speaking. I will make up my mind later." Punish her." He said he wanted to be punished, but there was no anger in his words, but a smile.

The mother-in-law also understood that she had made a mistake today, and she looked embarrassed. Seeing Mo Yun step down the steps, she also pretended to be confused and smiled in response.It's just that in the end, I have made a note of both Mo Yun and Luo Yan in my heart, thinking that I must say a few more words in front of the old lady when I go back to Jia's house.

After Mo Yun finished speaking about punishing Luo Yan, she changed the subject and said with a strange expression: "But what Luo Yan said is also true, why are there only a few nuns from Jia's family, but not one of the masters?"

The old lady bowed her body and said with a smile: "The girl doesn't know, it's not that the masters don't want to come. But the old lady got seriously ill because of her aunt, and the wives are too busy to take care of the sick, so they really can't get enough of it." Come out. The two masters are busy with the court affairs, so they had to send me here, and it was not intentional to neglect."

"I see." Mo Yun also understood that what the woman said must be half-truth and half-false.

It should be true that the old lady is sick, and the wife also has sicknesses, but Mo Yun knows who the two uncles are, and I am afraid that they are too lazy to come to Yangzhou for a trip, so only a few women are allowed to come.It's just that I don't want to talk more with these women, so I said clearly and prepared to drive them away.

It's just that if she wants to drive people away, these women must be willing to leave.

Before coming here, Mother Jia explained to these women that it was one thing to come to Yangzhou to express their condolences, and the other thing was to take the two girls from the Lin family into Beijing.Mrs. Wang also ordered in private to find out the bottom line of the Lin family.At this time, I had just seen the wealth of the Lin family, and Jiamu hadn't said what she had told her, so how could she leave?

The mother-in-law hurriedly said again: "The old lady feels sorry for the two girls who lost their mothers when they were young, and she also thought that the girls will participate in the general election next year, so she asked the old slave to take the girl back. One is preparing for the girl's general election, and the other is also preparing for the general election. Being able to take care of the second girl, let the old lady enjoy family happiness again."

"You should tell me this. Why are you and Yun'er talking about this?" Just as Mo Yun was about to say something, a calm male voice came from outside the hall, and Lin Ruhai came back.

"Daddy!" Seeing Lin Ruhai's return, Mo Yun's face was full of joy, and the corners of his mouth were turned up, revealing two dimples.She stood up and pulled Lin Ruhai to sit on the main seat, and ordered Qingrui to pour another cup of fragrant tea, then stood behind Lin Ruhai and stopped talking.

Seeing Lin Ruhai's return, the mother-in-law of Rongguo Mansion hurriedly stood up and saluted.However, Lin Ruhai didn't seem to see it, he only focused on drinking tea, and didn't say let these women sit down, but made them suffer a lot.

When Lin Ruhai was about to finish his cup of tea, he raised his head and looked at the women with a surprised face, and asked strangely, "Why don't the mothers sit down? Why are you standing?"

The mother-in-law hurriedly smiled and said: "It's not that I have been sitting for a long time, and I got up and stood up for a while to move around. My master misunderstood. The servants and maidservants sit down now, and sit down now." After speaking, she was ready to go back to the little tavern.

Lin Ruhai suddenly realized, and then put on a caring look and said: "I misunderstood, I thought it was my Lin's residence who did not entertain well, but I never thought that the nuns were tired from sitting. In this case, Xiangzhen, take this Let’s get rid of a few scorpions, so that the mothers can have a better life and activities.”

Xiangzhen, who was serving in the hall, had long been displeased with these women. As soon as these people entered the Lin Mansion, they stared at the decorations of the Lin Mansion, saying they were here to express their condolences, but they ignored the rules and wore so gorgeous.At this time, upon hearing Lin Ruhai's order, he hurriedly responded, with a smile on his face, and swiftly took away the scorpions.

The women squatted for a long time, thinking that since Lin Ruhai had spoken, they would be able to take a good rest.But he didn't expect Lin Ruhai to play cards so unreasonably. Although he didn't want to, he remembered that Lin Ruhai was not something they could offend, so he could only stand up and answer.

Seeing that these women had suffered a lot, Lin Ruhai's anger subsided a little.

As soon as Jia Min passed away, he sent a letter to the Jia family in the capital. He also knew how far the capital was from Yangzhou, so he didn't expect to see someone from the Jia family within the first seven days.

It only took two months to travel back and forth by water, and the Lin family sent letters in a hurry. At this time, it was almost three months after Jia Min was buried before seeing the Jia family.What's more, none of the masters came, but several women dressed like this came.Although Lin Ruhai understood that the Jia family didn't take the Lin family seriously, seeing the Jia family's negligence at this time, he was still full of depression in his heart.

It's just that he has been an official for many years, and his superficial skills are also excellent. At this time, he just asked the mother-in-law calmly: "I was away just now, but I don't know why the mothers are here. Can the mothers say it again?"

The mother-in-law hurriedly laughed and said again what she had just said to Mo Yun.

"Come to express your condolences?" Lin Ruhai repeated these four words again, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The mother-in-law couldn't see anything when she saw the smile on his face, so she was busy smiling.

Suddenly, Lin Ruhai's face turned cold, and he scolded sharply: "Come here to mourn but you are dressed so fancy? Could it be that you look down on my Lin family because of your Rongguo Mansion's power?!"

The mother-in-law didn't expect that Lin Ruhai would suddenly attack her. Although she did have this idea in her heart, she couldn't just make it clear. She hurriedly waved her hands in a panic to explain.Lin Ruhai didn't want to talk to the mother-in-law at first, and he didn't want to listen to an explanation at this time, so he called a few servants to silence all these mother-in-laws, and dragged them out of the gate of Lin's mansion.
