[Red Mansions] Why does Xiaoye want to whitewash

So Lin Ruhai wrote back a letter to his mother-in-law, telling her about her arrangements for the children, and by the way, temporarily rejected her marriage about Baoyu and Daiyu.

Because he had to take Daiyu and his brother with him, and it would take some time to pack up, Jia Lian delayed for another day and set off on the second day.

Lin Ke was used to living with his cousins, sisters-in-law and nieces, so although he was a little bit sad to leave his father, he was more excited to be able to continue to be with his playmates.

Daiyu was different, she was already very thoughtful, although she was enlightened by Lian's second sister-in-law, but when she thought of leaving her father, she was filled with reluctance, her tears couldn't stop and she wanted to flow down.

Lin Ruhai took a handkerchief and squatted down to wipe the tears from her daughter's face, and said: "Yu'er, father has no time to take care of your siblings for the time being, listen to your brother and sister-in-law, and take good care of your younger brother."

Lin Daiyu choked for a moment, looked at her father with tears in her eyes and nodded, "Daiyu will take good care of my younger brother, father, you must take care of yourself too."

"For the father."

Wang Xifeng waited for the father and daughter to finish speaking, squatted beside Daiyu, and said softly, "Changzhi County is so close to Yangzhou City, as long as you and Ke'er are in good health, how about we come back for a few days every month? "

"Really?" Lin Daiyu looked at Lian's second sister-in-law in surprise, and then glanced at the adults with some hesitation, "Will it be too troublesome..."

Jia Lian shook his fan at the side, and hummed, Wang Xifeng understood, and said nonchalantly, "Your family is not short of this little money, and your second elder brother Lian won't care about paying for this little travel expenses, what troublesome things!"

Lin Ruhai only wanted to get closer before, but he didn't think about what would happen if he got closer. Now, when he heard what his niece and daughter-in-law said, he followed his daughter and nodded: "Yu'er and Ke'er take good care of their health in the past few months. , two months later, my father asked Lin Butler to pick you up."

"it is good."

Lin Daiyu had a smile on her face, but she was wearing Xiaoqi's clothes and her face was pale, which made people feel pity.But anyway, with a smile on his face, everyone felt relieved, so they hurried into the carriage.

Daiyu and his brother lay on the window of the car and waved at their father, and they retreated into the carriage until they were out of sight.

Back in Changzhi County, Jia Lian went to the study and saw the letter on the desk, and then remembered that the Zhang family had sent a letter a few days ago telling him that all the Zhang family brothers had passed the Juren examination.It's just that he was so upset recently that he didn't have time to reply to the letter. He was thinking of giving a congratulatory gift, but just as Wang Xifeng came back, he took the letter back to the main house.

At this time, Wang Xifeng had arranged for the four children, who were resting on the bedpost.

"You just lie down, it's so uncomfortable to lean on."

Wang Xifeng didn't even open her eyes, and replied directly: "The body is very dirty, let's stain the quilt again."

"Then ask the servants to boil the water, take a bath, change clothes and lie down." Jia Lian went out to order the servant girl to prepare hot water as he spoke, and continued, "We are at home, so pay attention to the rules and what to do."

Wang Xifeng was indeed tired, so she didn't refuse. When the hot water was ready, she got up and took a shower. When she came back, she didn't plan to eat dinner and just lay down on the bed.

Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Jia Lian couldn't bear to call her, so she let her go.It's just that he didn't indulge the children so much. They were all growing up, so Jia Lian went over and screamed one by one.

It doesn't matter that they are all rubbing their eyes, they are all pressed against the table, "rest after eating."

Sister Qiao had a big heart, so she picked up a spoon and started to eat. Lin Ke looked around and saw that Lian's second sister-in-law was not there, so she asked childishly, "Where is sister-in-law?"

"Your sister-in-law is asleep, let's not disturb her."

Lin Ke tilted her little head, not quite understanding why Lian's second sister-in-law didn't have to get up to eat.However, Jia Lian was not prepared to give him a chance to explore the unknown at all, so he put his hand on his head and twisted, urging: "Hurry up and eat."

After eating with several children, Jia Lian took the four of them for a walk outside to digest their food, and then let them all go back to rest.Before returning to the room, he ordered the kitchen to warm up some food for Wang Xifeng, and after washing, he carefully lay down next to Wang Xifeng.

However, the food he had prepared was useless, Wang Xifeng slept soundly, and did not wake up that night, but the next day, he opened his eyes early and stretched his limbs refreshed.Feeling a little empty in my stomach, I got out of bed and prepared to get someone to eat.

Jia Lian also opened his eyes when he heard the voice, and saw that Wang Xifeng was already up, he yawned and asked, "Wake up so early?"

"Enough sleep." Wang Xifeng rinsed her mouth and said to Jia Lian, "Go on sleeping."

Jia Lian shook his head, woke up and couldn't sleep anymore, so he followed Wang Xifeng up.When I was dressed, I saw the envelope on the small table on the couch, and said: "My cousins ​​from the Zhang family have passed the exam, I thought we should give some congratulatory gifts, because you were too tired yesterday, so I didn't tell you."

Although Wang Xifeng felt that the two men's words and demeanors were extraordinary, he never thought that they both passed the exam, and couldn't help sighing: "If we have a son in the future, we should inherit the talent from our mother!"

Jia Lian was helpless, "Are you still thinking about it?"

"The old doctor said that my body is almost ready, and we should prepare for it, otherwise we will grow old in the future." Wang Xifeng said confidently, she must give birth to a son.

"Let's talk about it." Jia Lian really didn't want to have another life, but this person was so desperate that he wouldn't listen to him at all. He also felt very annoyed, and besides, 20 years old is no big deal.

"Whatever you say, you must live."

Jia Lian shook her head, and instead of breaking up with her, brought the topic back, "Cousin Xiuqi's grades are better, and cousin's grades are a little worse. You can see the arrangement."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xifeng nodded immediately, "Understood."

Daiyu and Lin Ke wanted to keep their filial piety, and Jia Min was their aunt, so Wang Xifeng ordered her subordinates to choose plain and clean preparations when making clothes; Make every effort to make up for the children, especially Daiyu and his brother.

She is not outspoken at all, anyway, the two of them are about the same age as their two daughters, and they never care too much about whether they are doing well or not, and praise what they should say.

So even if Lin Ke disliked that the medicinal food tasted bad, Wang Xifeng could force him to eat it, regardless of his sad eyes.

On the other side of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia's mother received a letter from Lin Ruhai, and learned that Lin Ruhai entrusted his grandson and granddaughter to Jia Lian and his wife for the time being. Although he still missed them, he felt relieved about them.

During this period of time, because of her daughter's lack of energy, she just felt sorry for her grandson and granddaughter who had no one to take care of her. If she was with Jia Lian, there would be no other problems, but Lin Ruhai also rejected her marriage proposal in the letter. a feeling of.

But in the end it was her own granddaughter, she felt that there would be no family that would treat Daiyu better than her own granddaughter's family, so when she wrote to Jia Lian, she asked the couple to take good care of their siblings. In addition, the other is to hope that Jia Lian will persuade Lin Ruhai not to delay Daiyu's life.

When Jia Lian received the letter from her grandmother, she was a little speechless. She didn't expect the old lady to be so persistent, but if she could worry about it so much, she must be in good health.

After Wang Xifeng read the letter, she learned that the old lady wanted to combine Baoyu and Daiyu, and she thought it was very suitable, so she was a little puzzled and said, "Baoyu is also a good person. Good thing, why doesn't Uncle Lin agree?"

Jia Lian shook her head, and whispered to her even though there was no one around: "This is just my guess, don't spread it after I tell you..."

"what?"

"I think Dean Zheng may want Baoyu to be his grandson-in-law."

"What?!" Wang Xifeng was surprised, and looked at Jia Lian suspiciously, "How did you know? Didn't you tell our family?"

Jia Lian remembered seeing Baoyu playing with the granddaughter of President Zheng's family several times, and said, "I'm just guessing, or it may be an illusion. Anyway, that girl is a good match for Baoyu's family background, so I'll find out later."

Wang Xifeng still felt that it was impossible. If it was true as Jia Lian said, wouldn't it be possible that Dean Zheng had such thoughts when he first accepted Baoyu as a closed disciple?What did Baoyu fancy at that time?

But now Jia Lian also said that it was just guesswork, and she couldn't argue with him because of unfounded things, but after all she didn't mention Daiyu and Baoyu's marriage, she just asked, "Then what are you going to say to grandma?"

"It's just a matter of perfunctory. If Uncle Lin doesn't let go, the marriage will not be settled."

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng nodded and said nothing.

Lin Ruhai did as he said, two months later, he came to pick up Daiyu and his brother back to Yangzhou City for a few days, and then sent them back to Changzhi County.Seeing that the two children are still healthy, they pick them up every month for reunion.

During the Spring Festival, Daiyu's siblings even went home to live for a month, and this Spring Festival, in the true sense, only Jia Lian's family of four lived.

Sister Qiao misses Lin Ke a little bit. The two have a good relationship, and Lin Ke has a good temper. Even if she is a little careless, Lin Ke never loses her temper with her. She likes this little friend the most, so he left I'm a little unhappy.

But it was only two and a half days before they began to make troubles energetically again. Jia Lian thought that a normal big family would start enlightenment at the age of three, so he thought that when Lin Ke came back, he would ask the old doctor to help them enlighten them, saving the whole day Noisy.

During the Chinese New Year, the Zhang family sent a letter saying that the two brothers Zhang Xiujin would not participate in this year's Spring Festival, so they will not go to the capital for the time being.

Jia Lian originally thought that if they went there earlier, he would ask Mr. Meng and Dean Zheng to advise them, but there are many great Confucian scholars in the south, so they must have their own plans, so they only wrote back that they could go to the capital at any time. Go live in his yard, he has already arranged it.
