[Red Chamber] Mrs. Lin replaced her

Chapter 38 Rongguo Mansion & 1 Scene

As soon as Jiazi returned to the Waterside Pavilion, Mrs. Zhou Rui’s family, who accompanied Mrs. Wang in the Rongguo Mansion next door, came over. He followed the orders of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and took Jiazi to the Rongguo Mansion for a reunion—Mother Jia missed Jiazi and wanted to see Jia. Daughter and son of Jazi and Jazi.

It stands to reason that Jia's mother is Jiazi's aunt after all.Jiazi hadn't come back for more than ten years, and now he finally returned to Beijing. It was only natural for him to take his children to Rongguo Mansion to meet Jia's mother.It's a pity that when Jiazi saw Zhou Rui's family's superior and arrogant attitude, she became angry: did she really think that the Rongguo Mansion that lost Jia Daishan was still the original Rongguo Mansion?Did she really think that her master was in the Rongguo Mansion justifiably?

"Hehe..." Gently turning his head and looking at the cup in his hand, the corners of Jiazi's mouth curled up in disdain: "I never thought that in the eyes of my aunt, I would be reduced to a little girl." The servants can tell me what to do." Jia Zi said, and looked at Jia Zhen, who was following Baba, inexplicably.

"You damn slave!" Upon receiving Jia Zi's cold gaze, Jia Zhen immediately trembled, and threw a teacup directly at Zhou Rui's family: "What are you? You are a lowly slave. How dare you talk to your aunt like that? Next time, do you want to move the ancestral hall of the Jia family to the kang in the Rongxi Hall..." Jia Zhen had just been whipped by Jia Zi, feeling aggrieved. Now it happened to be all vented on Zhou Rui's family.

Jia Zhen pointed at Zhou Rui's family and scolded them. From Zhou Rui's family's rudeness and arrogance, they should be hacked into pieces by a thousand knives. Jia Baoyu's face is as big as a plate, he loves to eat rouge, and he can smell the powder all over his body from eighty miles away. When he went to Zhou Rui's house, his appearance was ugly, which damaged the image of the capital. He went to Beijing for a series of funerals, and finally scolded Zhou Rui's house Zhou Rui, a man who loves both men and women, raises a concubine and a small actor, and at the same time is taken care of by other men...

Jia Zi was dumbfounded when he heard it, he never expected that Jia Zhen would be so out of tune, he could say such irrelevant words so loudly and so confidently.Suppressing a smile and taking a sip of tea, Jia Zi suddenly felt that he should have tied Jia Zhen to the battlefield back then, and then every time the battle started, he would put Jia Zhen in front of the formation and let him yell at the enemy. Fan, turning the enemy's eyes white with anger and kicking his legs straight, maybe it will be easier to fight...

Jiazi was very happy to hear it, but Zhou Rui's family was so angry that they trembled all over.Since Jia Daishan's death, Jia's mother jumped over Jia She's stepmother, Mrs. Xing, and handed over the housekeeping rights to Mrs. Wang, Zhou Rui's family, who were Mrs. Wang's accompanying room, has also risen in Rongguo Mansion, and it seems that they have become the second Lai. At home, no one dares to offend.It's just the little masters in the family, apart from Jia Baoyu, who else would dare to offend her?Even Lian's second grandmother, Wang Xifeng, who was used to being fierce and domineering, would call her "Sister Zhou" every time she saw her, calling her affectionately.

However, today, Jia Zi, a dead girl who has been married for a long time, dares to disrespect her so much, and Jia Zhen, who is so useless, dares to scold her bloody in public.This is an experience that Zhou Rui's family has never experienced in the past ten years.If he hadn't still had a sliver of reason and could remember his identity, Zhou Rui's family would have scolded his father and mother back a long time ago.Now, she had to endure it.But even if she reluctantly endured it, the nails embedded in the flesh still betrayed her.At the same time, she also made a deep note for Jia Zhen and Jia Zi in her heart, and she was going to report to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang after going back.

"Okay, Zhen'er." Hearing Jia Zhen's words became more and more vulgar, Jia Zi smiled and poured Jia Zhen a cup of tea when Jia Zhen took a breath: "If you want me to say that you are the same, this tea cup is not good. Do you need money? You don’t think it’s a pity to waste it on a lowly servant.”

Jia Zhen was also tired of scolding, so she took the cup that Jia Zi handed over in a flattered manner, and said with a smile on her face: "Isn't my nephew really mad at this short-sighted servant? I saw a joke." Jia Zhen said, and looked at Lin Yan next to her apologetically.As for Lin Daiyu, Jia Zhen really didn't dare to look at it: If Jia Zi knew that he dared to aim at Lin Daiyu indiscriminately, what was waiting for him would probably be another whip.

However, Jia Zhen was a little dumbfounded by this look: Although Lin Yan was still there, he was covering his ears with two paws.The owner of this claw is his stupid son Jia Rong.Jia Qiang sat on the ground in embarrassment and hugged Lin Yan's waist.And Lin Yan's chubby little face was full of tense anger, his big wet eyes stared fiercely at Zhou Rui's family, his small fists were also clenched tightly, and his body moved forward slightly.It seems that if it wasn't for Jia Qiang and Jia Rong, they might have rushed to fight Zhou Rui's family.

Although Jia Zhen didn't see what was going on with Lin Daiyu, it was the same with Lin Daiyu: the maid Xiangling put her hands over Lin Daiyu's ears to prevent her from hearing Jia Zhen's vulgar and vulgar words.The eyes of Lin Daiyu looking at Zhou Rui's family were also full of anger.She heard what the servants of the Rongguo Mansion said just now.She didn't expect the servants of Rongguo Mansion to be so unruly and arrogant. Did they regard their mother and their siblings as poor relatives who came to fight the autumn wind?Did they regard their mother and their siblings as helpless orphans and widows?Even if you want to invite your mother, you should let the wife in charge of the mansion come over, right?No matter how bad it is, you should send a post, right?How can there be a reason why a slave can tell mother where to go?

It has to be said that Lin Daiyu's impression of Rongguo Mansion was extremely bad before they met.

When Jia Zhen saw Jia Rong covering Lin Yan's ears, she was angry at first, and then she realized what was going on, and she couldn't help but feel guilty when she turned to Jia Zi: "Auntie..."

Gently nodding his head, Jia Zi showed a slight smile to Jia Zhen: "Be careful when you speak in the future, don't say anything in front of children." Then I understood: You can't say this in front of children, but it doesn't matter in front of others.

Zhou Rui's family moved slightly, but the people in front of them seemed to have forgotten her existence.Jia Zi and Jia Zhen were chatting casually, and Lin Daiyu had already called Lin Yan over to coax her.Under such circumstances, she dared not leave, nor dared to speak.The important thing is, if you can't complete the task of inviting Jiazi, Mother Jia will definitely blame her when you go back, and Mrs. Wang will also be unhappy because of this incident...

Just when Zhou Rui's family resented Jia Zi and Jia Zhen for embarrassing her, while thinking of a way to get out, they saw Jia Amnesty running over while calling Jia Zi.

Jia She threw away the servant beside him, kicked his legs wildly, and ran fast: "You are back. I miss my brother..." Jia She's voice trembled a little, obviously very excited.

Lin Yan nodded in his heart, and muttered in a low voice, "Finally there is someone who doesn't stutter."

"Brother Pardon," Jiazi stood up happily, and joked with a smile: "You run fast enough, it really is a sword that never grows old. By the way, how did you know that I came back? I just entered the Ningguo Mansion It’s not long before our gate.” As he spoke, Jia Zi ignored Jia Zhen’s attention to this sentence, and introduced his daughter Lin Daiyu and son Lin Yan to Jia She.

Seeing Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan, Jia She was also very happy in his heart. He directly took the fan he just bought from the entourage who had finally caught up, and stuffed it into Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan's arms without looking at it, and promised Another day must give the two of them a big gift.Of course, this big gift also included Lin Hui who was far away in Yangzhou.

Jia Zi chatted and laughed with Jia She at ease, completely not caring about Jia Zhen who was frowning with a bitter face and thinking about the meaning of Jia Zi's last words, and would not care about Zhou Rui's family whose legs were already trembling.

"Master..." Finally, taking advantage of the gap between Jia Zi and Jia She's conversation, Zhou Rui's family interrupted, intending to use Jia She's face to invite Jia Zi back to Rongguo Mansion first.As for after returning, Rongguo Mansion is Madam Wang's territory, so it's not up to her to add fuel and vinegar to the matter. Why don't Jia Zi and Jia Zhen take Rongguo Mansion and Madam Wang seriously, and how can they open their mouths to humiliate Rongguo Mansion? Report to Mrs. Wang.

Jia Amnesty threw a teacup to the ground, with a stern look on his face: "You damned slave. What kind of onion are you, a slave who dares to interrupt when I'm talking to Azi, are you tired of it?" Jia She Xie is the legitimate owner of Rongguo Mansion, but he is ridiculously called the Grand Master.However, if he really gets angry, Zhou Rui's family is really afraid of him: everyone knows that when Jia Amnesty goes crazy, he doesn't care about the consequences - what happened to Jia Min back then is an obvious example.

Jiazi looked at the "corpse" of another teacup on the ground, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart, "This teacup is unlucky today. Why is everyone throwing teacups for fun?"

The corners of Jia Zhen's eyes twitched slightly, and she had already made up her mind: she must remember to ask Jia She to pay for the teacup to accompany him later - this is what my aunt meant: teacups also cost money.

"Forget it," Jiazi stood up, straightened his clothes briefly, and said with a smile, "Since Big Brother Xi is here, I'll go and see my aunt. Zhen'er, find someone to tidy up here. By the way, think about it." Think, you are the master of Ningguo Mansion now, how can you treat Ningguo Mansion well." Jia Zi directly gave Jia Zhen the time to apply medicine to the wound on her body.

Of course, since it was unavoidable to go to Rongguo Mansion to see Jia's mother, Jia Zi was willing to attribute the credit to Jia She.Besides, she also wanted to see what kind of thing that phoenix baby egg named Jia Baoyu was, who was notorious in the capital at a young age, oh no, he was famous.

"Hey." Jia Zhen agreed quickly, and then seemed to think of something, quickly moved to Jia Zi's side, lowered her voice, and said, "Auntie, you have to be careful about Baoyu, don't let sister Lin fall into his hands." I was bullied by your sweet words." Obviously, Jia Zhen looked down on Jia Baoyu's words and deeds, on the contrary, he liked Lin Daiyu's generous and measured behavior very much, so he reminded Jia Zi in a low voice.

In fact, logically speaking, when Jia Zi came back, Jia Zhen should have asked his stepwife Youshi and Qin Keqing to wait on him.However, in Jia Zhen's view, You Shi still can't make it to the big scene - if it wasn't because he was worried that marrying a daughter of a wealthy family would be bad for Jia Rong and Jia Qiang, he wouldn't marry You Shi, a company with a high profile. There is no family background, but there are three oily women.However, now it seems that she did not take good care of Jia Rong and Jia Qiang.As for Qin Keqing, forget it...

Therefore, in the end, Jia Zhen seemed to have forgotten You Shi and Qin Keqing, and never mentioned them to Jia Zi at all: Let those two serve Jia Zi, it is better to let the slaves brought by Jia Zi come!

Jia Zi nodded, and then took his daughter and son, talking and laughing with Jia Amnesty, to Rongguo Mansion.But Jia Zhen hurried back to change her clothes while ordering people to prepare the next table, and at the same time dragged Jia Rong and Jia Qiang to discuss the meaning of Jia Zi's words, and she was extremely busy .

Rongguo Mansion is a place where Jiazi often went in and out when he was a child, just like his own home.The place where Jia's mother lives now is the place where the old lady before Rongguo Mansion lived: Rongqingtang.

As soon as Jiazi brought Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan into the Rongguo Mansion because he had a child with him, he boarded the green sedan chair that the Rongguo Mansion had prepared.As for Jia Amnesty, he went straight back to his yard - he didn't want to go there to "listen to training".

Jiazi got off the sedan chair in front of a hanging flower gate with his two children.Entering the hanging flower gate, there are chaoshou verandahs on both sides, and a hallway in the middle, with a large screen of red sandalwood and marble.Turn around the screen, then pass through three small halls, and then you will find the main room.On the front are five upper rooms with carved beams and painted buildings, which are magnificent.On both sides are the wing rooms of the corridor through the mountain. Under the corridor are various birds such as parrots and thrushes, which are chirping and competing.On the steps, there were a few girls in red and green sitting, laughing and playing together.As soon as they saw the crowd, the girls quickly stood up with a smile, with an affectionate look: "It can be regarded as coming, the old lady was still reading just now!" [Note 1]

After that, several people competed to put up the curtain cage, and replied to the people inside with a smile: "Come on, Miss Zi, Miss Lin, and Mr. Lin are here."

As they said that, several people turned their heads to look at Jiazi's mother and son, and then covered their mouths and laughed coquettishly.

Lin Daiyu frowned in displeasure, and said to herself: All the servants in Rongguo Mansion are really rude.

Jia Zi looked indifferent, and directly led Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan into the main hall.As soon as he entered the door, Jiazi saw the silver-haired mother Jia being supported by two maids, looking like she wanted to welcome her out.

"Auntie is getting old too." Looking at Jia Mu's aging appearance, Jia Zi felt a little emotion in his heart, and then thought of what Jia Mu had done for so many years, and only boredom remained in his heart: This old lady is Qingfu If you don't know how to enjoy it, what kind of drama are you messing with?

"Auntie," Jia Zi hurriedly put on a smile on his face before Mother Jia could speak, "Why did you greet me in person? Isn't this equivalent to scolding me in public? You two girls, you are not happy. Help your aunt to sit down." Fakely scolding the two little maids, Jiazi naturally knew in his heart that Mother Jia would definitely not really want to come out to greet her.Still, she had to say it.Whenever he thinks of such a hypocritical occasion, Jiazi feels tired and misses the publicity years of galloping horses.

Of course, when talking, Jia Zi still looked at the people in the room without any trace: Mrs. Wang is a little fatter than before, even if she holds a rosary in her hand, she can't stop her full of calculations and seeing. The hatred I felt when I was young; sitting next to Mrs. Wang was a slightly younger but well-dressed woman who seemed to be Jia She's stepmother, Mrs. Xing.

Finally, Mother Jia sat back and looked at Jiazi with a smile: "You girl, you haven't come back for so many years. When you come back, you don't even say to come and see me, but I have to send someone to invite you, old lady. Quick, come here and let me go." I'll take a good look." Mother Jia said, beckoning to Jia Zi.

Naturally, it was impossible for Jiazi to pass: whether she wanted to or not, she had to greet Jia Mu first.Otherwise, tomorrow Mother Jia will have to say that she doesn't even know the proper etiquette.Especially Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan, they don't necessarily have to be talked about by her!

First he greeted Jia Mu, and then Jia Zi pulled Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan over to ask them to greet Jia Mu solemnly.Then, Jiazi greeted the two wives of King Xing, and the two children hurriedly followed their mother to salute the two aunts.

Mother Jia nodded with satisfaction, and beckoned to Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan with a smile on her face.Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan took a look at Jia Zi who was sitting on the sidelines watching the play, finally sighed in their hearts, and resigned to their fate, they walked forward and let the old woman who looked kind and friendly, but they didn't like it at all, stand on the left and on the right. The ones were held in his arms, and the ones called "heart, heart, heart" non-stop.

"You girl who deserves to be beaten." Looking at Jia Zi who was sitting there drinking tea peacefully, Jia's mother pretended to be angry and said, "It's been so many years, and I haven't come back to the capital. Alas, I don't know how many years to live. ?”

He secretly rolled his eyes, but Jiazi said with a smile on his face, "I think it's not a problem for my aunt to live another 80 or [-] years. What's more, I want to come back, but it's not a problem in Yangzhou." That's a lot. This time, if I didn't hear that Min'er is not in good health, I wouldn't be able to come back."

As soon as the words fell, Jiazi saw that the smile on Jiamu's face froze for a moment, and then wiped away tears: "My poor Min'er, how did you suffer such a fate..." When Jiamu cried, The people next to him quickly persuaded him.

"Yu'er, Yan'er," Jia Zi hastily called Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan: "Come over to your mother." One sentence rescued his two children and led to a song by Jia Mu. Jiazi is satisfied with the great drama.Especially seeing Jia's mother crying about Jia Min's life like a clown, Jia Zi's heart became even more disdainful: she kept saying that she loved Jia Min the most, but in order to separate herself from Wei Cheng, even Jia Min was ill. They didn't even send anyone to visit him, so they were ashamed to mention Jia Min's pain.

"Hmph!" Jiazi snorted coldly in his heart, and said in his heart, "Even if I can't slap you, I can still piss you off." Having made up his mind, Jiazi looked at Jiamu cheerfully. Acting, only when Mrs. Wang looked over, she put on a worried expression.

After Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan were called to their side by Jia Zi, they sat quietly by the side, pretending to be deaf.Needless to say, Lin Daiyu, even Lin Yan is not that stupid.From Jiamu's crying, and the few words they got from Wei Ruoxun and Wei Ruolan, it is natural to guess the relationship between Jiamu and Jia Min.

And because they met Jia Min first, and also saw the sad look of Jia Min when he hugged Jia Zi and cried, plus the sincerity of Jia Min and Wei Cheng's family to them, the two siblings naturally stood on the sidelines preconceived. On the other hand, Jia Min felt that Jia's mother's play was fake.What's more, what no one knew was that the two of them made their own decisions. When they saw their elder brother Lin Hui, they must tell him what happened here, so that his elder brother would also like Aunt Min and dislike Rongguo Mansion.

I don't know that sisters Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan have contempt for her in their hearts. Jia's mother has cried out from Jia Min's life to her own life; while Wang and Xing are accompanied by a group of maids. Advise.Under the coaxing of a group of people, Jia Mu also gradually stopped crying.

"Hey, what's the matter?" A smiling voice suddenly came from outside the door.Then, the curtain was lifted, and a group of maids and women walked in, surrounded by a young woman.This woman wears a golden silk bun with eight treasures and pearls, and a five-phoenix hanging pearl hairpin in the morning sun. Around her neck is a red gold plate chi Yingluo ring, a pair of red phoenix triangular eyes, two curved willow-leaf hanging eyebrows, and her powder face contains spring power. Not revealing, red lips are heard before laughing [Note 2].

"Sister," Lin Yan lowered his voice, leaned into Lin Daiyu's ear, and said softly, "Do you think she looks like a jewelry shop that can move?" Wearing too much jewelry on your body.Even Lin Daiyu, because of Jiazi's influence, her clothes and jewelry are also very elegant, and she rarely wears such jewelry on her body.Therefore, as soon as Lin Yan saw the woman's golden appearance, he immediately thought of the jewelry shop he had secretly visited with his brother Lin Hui.

Lin Daiyu pinched Lin Yan's face in a funny way, and lowered her voice: "Don't talk nonsense." Looking at the breathless expressions of the servants of the Rongguo Mansion in the room when the woman came in, Lin Daiyu had already guessed that this was just now. The women who come in must be very smart and domineering.Therefore, she hurriedly stopped Lin Yan, so as not to cause trouble for Jiazi in time.Of course, in her heart, she still felt that Lin Yan's words made some sense.

Of course, the movements of the two children around him couldn't be hidden from Jiazi, and Jiazi couldn't help feeling amused: This daughter is caring and caring even though she is caring.Moreover, Jia Zi has already guessed the identity of the new young woman in front of him: Jia Lian's wife, Mrs. Wang's niece, and Wang Xifeng, Wang Zisheng's precious daughter.

"Azi," Jia Mu, who had already been coaxed, pointed at Wang Xifeng and smiled, "You don't recognize her, do you? She is Feng Lazi, a famous rogue here. You have seen her before." .”

"Old ancestor," Wang Xifeng smiled and leaned against Jia's mother, jokingly: "You are laughing at me again, I don't follow, I don't follow."

While Wang Xifeng was talking to Jia Mu, Jia Zi had already explained their identities to Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan in a low voice.

When Wang Xifeng greeted Jia Zi, Lin Daiyu hurriedly dragged Lin Yan to greet Wang Xifeng.Different from Jia Zhu and Jia Yuanchun back then, when Wang Xifeng came towards Jia Zi, both siblings had avoided their positions.

"I just found out today that there are such beautiful people in this world!" Wang Xifeng took Lin Daiyu's hand, and flicked out good words without money, praising Lin Daiyu like a flower.Of course, Lin Yan didn't escape either, and was very happy to be praised by Wang Xifeng.

Jia Zi shook her head amusedly: Why didn't she see that Lin Yan, who was only three years old, came down to earth from the star of martial arts—maybe the God of Cookery came down to earth.

"You live in Beijing." Wang Xifeng took Lin Daiyu's hand with an affectionate look: "If you need anything, just tell sister-in-law, and sister-in-law will find it for you."

"Brother Feng," Mrs. Wang interrupted suddenly, "Have you paid all the monthly money for this month?"

Jia Zi raised his eyebrows and stood up: "Auntie, I'll take Yu'er and Yan'er to see the two elder brothers first. Although Big Brother Xi has already met at the Ningguo Mansion just now, but it still needs to be formalized." I'll pay my respects. It's just right that you take care of the family affairs." Jiazi naturally understood what Mrs. Wang meant, but he just wanted to demonstrate to her, telling her that she is now in charge of the house.It's just a pity that Jazi doesn't care at all.

Mother Jia gave Mrs. Wang a displeased look, then nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay, this is the etiquette of our big family."
