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

As soon as Jia Min saw Ruqin returned to the room, she asked, "Did you finish what I told you?"

Ruqin walked to Jia Min's side, picked up the towel soaked in hot water in the basin next to it, and started to help Jia Min wipe his body with Ruyin, and said while wiping, "I have already told the master what I said when I went back to my wife." Yes, the master has ordered people to do it." After saying that, he smiled and said, "Just now the midwife went out and the master asked the wife how she was, and it seemed that she was very anxious."

When Jia Min heard Lin Ruhai asking about her, her heart felt sweet and her face blushed, showing countless amorous feelings.But he jokingly said: "You girl, are you thinking about getting married? It just so happened that his mother Le Shan came to ask me to marry you a few days ago. I was thinking about asking you what you mean first, but I refused first. Now it seems that I think too much, don't worry, when you leave the cabinet, I will prepare a generous dowry for you!"

Ruqin blushed when she heard that Le Shan proposed to marry her.She and Le Shan work next to Lin Ruhai and Jia Min respectively, so they have many opportunities to meet each other.It is said that the girl Huaichun and the boy are affectionate, and I like it when you come and go. Suddenly, when I heard Le Shan propose marriage, my heart was full of joy, but more of it was my reluctance for Jia Min: "My wife is teasing my servant again! The servant does not want to marry, the servant wants to accompany the wife."

Jia Min also knew that Ruqin couldn't bear to part with herself, and she also couldn't bear to part with Ruqin, but she still thought about Ruqin's life, so she said: "You and Ruyin, Ruyun, and Ruyan are by my side. It's short. You are thinking of me, so I naturally think of you too. Although I would like to stay with you for two more years and show you more pictures, if there is a suitable candidate, I might as well agree. This daughter Marriage is a lifetime thing. Finding someone who loves you and respects you is the most important thing. You and Le Shan have known each other since childhood. You know your character and ability clearly. It is better than finding someone who does not match you in the future. Ripe is stronger."

After that, Jia Min sighed, patted Ruqin's hand again, and said with a smile: "When you two get married, I will tell the master, and I will give you the deeds of the two of you, and let you go out to my house." Be a shopkeeper in the shop. It can be regarded as a thank-you gift for the two of you for serving me and the master in the past few years."

However, Ruqin still hesitated, stopped her hand movements, squatted down and leaned her head on the edge of Jia Min's bed, tightly held Jia Min's hand and whispered: "...I still can't bear my wife. I After serving my wife for so many years, what if I am not used to my wife leaving me?"

Jia Min was also a little emotional.Among the four maidservants, Ruqin is the one who has been with her the longest. She still remembers that when she first came to him, she was only seven or eight years old.He said that he was letting her go out of the house, but he was really reluctant to let her go. She was a girl who was loved by her own children since she was a child, but in a blink of an eye she was going to marry someone else to have children for someone else's family... However, because of my own selfishness, I wasted such time. Qin, Jia Min can't do this kind of thing.

Jia Min pulled his hand out of Ruqin's hand, slowly stroked Ruqin's hair, and said, "Don't say you can't leave me, I can't leave you either. It's just that you're old after all, I But it's not good to delay your flowering period because of my selfishness. When you leave the mansion in the future, you will live a good life with Le Shan. If Le Shan treats you badly, you can go back to the mansion, and I will support you. Usually, no matter what happens It's okay, come to the mansion often, come to chat with me..." The more Jia Min said, the more his voice seemed to be blocked, and his eyes gradually became moist.

"Madam..." Ruqin lowered her head, dripping water droplets on the square bricks in front of the bed, soaking the floor after a while.

Jia Min's room suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere became gloomy.In the end, Ruyan, who was the youngest, broke the silence: "This is a great thing for Sister Ruqin, I should be happy for her." Then she said coquettishly to Jia Min: "Madam, you can't do it just because of Ruqin." The first sister who came here only favored her alone, but she will also look after the three of us in the future!"

Ruyin and Ruyun also echoed, "If my wife only favors Ruyin alone, we won't follow her!"

Jia Min also smiled and said, "When your time comes, I will take care of you too. But now you should think about what to give Ruqin to add to her makeup when she goes out!"

The atmosphere in the room became lively again, but when Jia Min heard Ruqin's low voice of thanks, he felt a lot relieved in his heart.

There was a lot of laughter in Jia Min's room, but the atmosphere in the courtyard was very serious.A group of women and maids from Rongguo Mansion knelt on the bluestone slab, not daring to breathe.

Although February has already entered spring, but after all, it is cold in spring, and the yard is still a bit cold.Coupled with the drizzle in the sky, the bluestone slab was wet and cold.The servants kneeling on the stone slab felt a burst of cold air piercing straight into the cracks in their bones, and that was it, but still no one dared to say anything.Just because they knew that this time it was really going to be over.

"So, none of you know where Mother Li has gone, do you?" Lin Ruhai and Mo Yun sat on the chairs brought from the living room, with Ming Rong and Qiu Shui holding umbrellas behind them.Lin Ruhai looked gloomy, looked at the kneeling people on the ground, and spoke lightly, his tone full of suppressed anger.

Jia Min had an accident, and Lin Ruhai finally had time to clean up Nanny Li who had caused a catastrophe.But when he was looking for someone, he found that Nanny Li had run away, and no one in the mansion knew where she had gone.Lin Ruhai was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger. Thinking of the people from the Rongguo Mansion who came with Nanny Li, he vented all his anger on them.

The people kneeling on the ground hurriedly shook their heads, and the leading woman smiled and said, "Guye Mingjian, Nanny Li usually doesn't talk to us very much because she is sent by the old lady. We are serious. I don't know that Nanny Li got into such a catastrophe, let alone where she went! If we knew this earlier, we would definitely watch her and not let her lose a hair!"

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai laughed darkly, and said, "She doesn't usually talk to you?"

When the kneeling people saw Lin Ruhai laughing, they all thought it was a catastrophe, so they couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said yes in a hurry.

However, Lin Ruhai's complexion changed in the next moment, and he reprimanded: "Who is the person who usually drinks and gambles with you if you don't talk to you?! The servant girl who bullied my Lin's mansion with her when nothing happened. If you don’t understand and don’t speak, do you really think I, Lin Ruhai, are blind?”

The servants below were startled by him, all of them closed their mouths tremblingly, shrinking their necks and trembling like quails.She couldn't help but complain that Nanny Li didn't do things honestly, she didn't expect them to do good things, but she ran away alone when she got into trouble, leaving them here to face Lin Ruhai's anger.

Seeing that none of the people kneeling below spoke, Lin Ruhai said indifferently: "I will write a letter tonight to explain everything in the past few days and send it to my mother-in-law in Rongguo Mansion. You can pack it up and go back tomorrow. What's the matter?" Don’t tell me about your grievances in front of me, go to the old lady and tell them.” After speaking, he turned to Ming Rong who was holding an umbrella behind him and said, “You and Steward Lin will keep an eye on them when they get on the boat tomorrow, except for those who have been in the past few months. They are not allowed to take out any monthly money or anything from the Lin family!"

The person from the Rongguo Mansion fell down and burst into tears when he heard this, and he didn't feel that the bluestone was cold at this time, he just cried and begged Lin Ruhai to forgive him, don't talk to the old lady about this.

As soon as they heard that Lin Ruhai was going to write a letter, they knew it was going to be bad. The old lady loves her little daughter Jia Min the most. If she knew that Nanny Li had caused Jia Min to give birth prematurely, and Nanny Li ran away, how could they survive? !

Lin Ruhai pretended not to hear, not because he was cruel, but he already knew the good deeds done by the Rongguo mansion, but he didn't say much for Jia Min's face, but he didn't want to indulge. Daiyu.Thinking of Dr. Li coming to tell him just now that Daiyu was born before full term and was born weak, he wished he could eat Nanny Li alive!Therefore, at this time, I don't even look at the people below, and only talk to Mo Yun on the side: "If you have nothing to do in the past few days, go and see your mother and younger sister. It's just that your mother just gave birth after all, and she is not in a good mood. You can talk. Don't tire her out."

Mo Yun pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "I know all this, dad, don't worry. Then the daughter will go to see her sister first, so you can spend good time with mother!"

After getting Lin Ruhai's permission, Mo Yun went to the side room in Jia Min's courtyard to see Daiyu, leaving Lin Ruhai standing alone in the courtyard, wondering how to tell Jia Min about this when she saw Jia Min.
