[Red Chamber] Mrs. Lin replaced her

Although Jia's mother and Jia Zheng failed to raise money from Jiazi and Jia Min as they wished, the family-saving villa in Rongguo Mansion was still busily started: there is no way, the family of other concubines who planned to visit their relatives The construction of the villas has already started, and the relatives' villas in Rongguo Mansion can't just stay in words anymore.Otherwise, Jia Yuanchun's people would be in disgrace—who doesn't know that the newly promoted Concubine Jia Gui in the palace was born in a Jia family with two males!If Jia Yuanchun couldn't be among the first to visit relatives, then she would no longer have the face to hang out in the palace.

Therefore, even though the pain was severe, for Jia Yuanchun's face, Mrs. Wang still gritted her teeth and took out part of the money from her private treasury, plus the private house of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia's mother, and Xue Xue. The money sent by my aunt on my own initiative, and the money sent by Wang Ziteng... Finally, amidst everyone's "anticipation", the construction of the relative's house in Rongguo Mansion has started in full swing.

Because many families in Beijing are building family-friendly villas, coupled with Xinhuang and Jiazi and others secretly fueling the flames, the price of building materials in the capital and surrounding areas has skyrocketed, and the money of the nobles of various families has been spent like water.Even though the Rongguo Mansion has already saved a large sum of money to repurchase the land, the various building materials needed to build the family-friendly villa are still a lot of money, plus labor costs... In this way, Rongguo Mansion has had a hard time The few 10 taels of silver they collected were actually not enough, and they couldn't build the beautiful family-speaking villa in Kyoto that they dreamed of.

It's just that the people in Rongguo Mansion didn't seem to take money matters seriously at all, and the construction of the family-saving villa was still mainly luxurious and extravagant.

In the words of Jia's mother who fooled Jia Zhen at the beginning: I can't write two Jia characters in one stroke.Therefore, in the eyes of Jia Mu and Jia Zheng, no matter how indifferent and stingy Jia Zi and Jia Min are, they would not just watch the Rongguo Mansion's provincial villa shut down due to lack of money.After all, once this matter gets out, it will not be good for their reputation.Therefore, although the matter of money is not very handy, they are not in a hurry.

As for the back garden of Ningguo Mansion, which was missed by Jia Mu and Jia Zheng's family, due to Jia Rong's firm attitude, even though Jia Mu found the elders of the family to mediate, it was finally saved.Therefore, compared with what Jiamu and Mrs. Wang had expected, the provincial house was much smaller. It only included the courtyard where Jia Amnesty lived before and the back garden of Rongguo Mansion.Even though Jia's mother resented Jia Rong because of this, Jia Rong didn't care about Jia's attitude at all, and she still did what she should do every day.It's just that they secretly sent more people to keep a close eye on the fence of their own backyard, so as not to prevent someone from tearing down their own fence and robbing their own garden.

It is really not a small project to build a family-visiting villa that can receive concubines and concubines.From actually surveying and measuring the land, hiring people to draw the design drawings of the garden, to purchasing various building materials, hiring people to build the garden, and then to purchasing all kinds of decorative items and rare antiques needed in the garden, everything big and small is complicated. .All of these need to be worked out inside and out.However, Jia Zheng was obviously not this material.It should be said that the masters of Rongguo Mansion are not of this material.

In fact, Jia Lian is the most suitable candidate for these matters.However, Jia Lian was gearing up to make a big splash in the Ministry of Industry at this time, so naturally he didn't bother to pay attention to Rongguo Mansion's mess.What's more, the current Jia Lian is no longer the previous Jia Lian.He had already seen clearly the true face of Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, and Mrs. Wang's family, and understood the real situation of his own family. Naturally, it was impossible for him to be in charge of his "good" second uncle.

In this way, only the bluffing and arrogant "Brother Feng" Wang Xifeng is the only one who can instigate and get these things done by Jiamu or the Rongguo Mansion. After all, if it is an outsider, Jiamu And Mrs. Wang can't rest assured: although I don't know how Jia's mother counts Wang Xifeng as a family.However, because of the Shengqin Villa, Wang Xifeng, who had originally planned to leave the capital and return to Jinling, was left behind. As Mrs. Wang's niece, she acted on behalf of Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu, and was involved in all matters of the Shengqin Villa. .

Here Wang Xifeng is in control of the power and is proud of the spring breeze; over there, Jia Baoyu is also full of joy and joy because of the construction of the family-saving villa.This is not because Jia Yuanchun can come back to visit his relatives after the restoration of the relatives' villa is completed: after all, Jia Baoyu was still young when Jia Yuanchun entered the palace. Baoyu was not a long-term lover.What's more, he has been surrounded by many young and beautiful girls with different styles. Naturally, it is impossible for him to remember, think, and read everyone.

The main reason why Jia Baoyu was happy was that after the construction of the Xingqin Villa started, the attention of several masters of the Rongguo Mansion—mainly Jia Zheng—were all attracted by the Xingqin Villa, so naturally they didn’t have the time and energy to spend time on the Xingqin Villa. Follow his studies.Therefore, Jia Baoyu was naturally looking forward to the construction of this family-saving villa for a little longer, and it would be best not to complete it forever.

To say that Jia Baoyu was really born at a good time: if his grandfather Jia Daishan was still alive at this time...

Originally, after being kicked out of the family school by Jia Jing, Jia Zheng invited Jia Baoyu to be a teacher again to teach Jia Baoyu's homework strictly. The posture that made Jia Jing cry bitterly and regret endlessly.

However, Jia Baoyu couldn't understand Jia Zheng's "hard work" at all: he had never been interested in the court, he looked down on the ministers of the court, Chinese and military, and he was extremely disgusted with the economic career and stereotyped essays that needed to be mastered in the imperial examination. The studies are naturally horrible.

Therefore, Jia Baoyu's life during this time was really miserable: having to face the things he hated so much made Jia Baoyu frown all day long, as if everyone owed him money, even with Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, Third Sister You and others have no time to play, let alone visit Qin Zhong who has been sick since he was kicked out of Jia's family school.

Although Jia's mother has always doted on Jia Baoyu, she thinks that Jia Baoyu is talented and intelligent. He is also the grandson of the Duke's mansion and the younger brother of the concubine in the palace. Study hard like everyone else.It's just that, when it comes to studying, it's not easy for Jia's mother to directly oppose her son Jia Zheng.Therefore, she could only coax Jia Baoyu every day, screaming a few times with her heart and soul, but she had no intention of helping Jia Baoyu "get out of the sea of ​​suffering".

Jia Baoyu was frail and delicate, and everyone in the house had always been obedient to him, so naturally their wishes came true.Accustomed to going smoothly, Jia Baoyu was suddenly forced to study hard, and Jia Baoyu was naturally extremely depressed.Therefore, Jia Baoyu fell ill all at once.Jia Mu immediately asked him for leave with distress.

Jia Baoyu got the benefits, so he began to suffer from illness once every three days and pain once every five days.Seeing Jia Baoyu moaning and whimpering, Mother Jia lashed out at the servants, then threatened Mr. Xixi to help her in collusion, and secretly let Jia Baoyu go.

Jia Baoyu was naturally happy to get Jia's mother's love as he wished.However, this kind of happiness implies an element of instability.In case Jia Zheng found out, Jia Baoyu touched his butt anxiously, feeling unbearable pain inexplicably.

After the construction of the family-senting villa started, I had to find a way to beautify the poor Jia Baoyu with Jia Mu every day, but I didn’t have to worry about anything: anyway, Jia Zheng was entangled in the affairs of the family-senting villa, and he had no time to take care of him, even Mr. Xixi. are gone.Therefore, every day, Jia Baoyu either dragged Shi Xiangyun around Jia's mother to have fun, or got together with Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun to whisper, or nestled with the second sister You and the third sister You, joking and playing...

Of course, Jia Baoyu also thought about going to the Lin Mansion to find Lin Daiyu.It's just that whenever he has such thoughts, it's either Shi Xiangyun who makes a fuss against him, or Mrs. Wang suddenly calls him over, or Third Sister You comes to look for him again, or it's the big girl in his room. Huan Xiren kept calling his name when he was sick... In short, Jia Baoyu couldn't spare time to pester Lin Daiyu due to various unexpected situations.

As for what happened to Jia Baoyu and the Rongguo Mansion, Jiazi naturally didn't take it to heart.Her life is very fulfilling. Apart from being busy with the affairs of the Gyeonggi Camp, she also has to take care of various affairs in the Lin Mansion, manage the business with the new emperor, and take care of Lin Hui and Lin Daiyu at the same time. Waiting for a few children, naturally there is no time and energy to take care of such nosy matters.

After Jiazi's vigorous rectification, the Gyeonggi Camp has undergone great changes in its overall appearance, gradually returning to the elite momentum of Jia Daihua's period, and no longer the laziness and sluggishness of Wang Ziteng's period, which made the new emperor very satisfied. Every day in front of the queen, he kept praising his wise decision, and chose Jia Zi to preside over the Gyeonggi Camp, which restored the Gyeonggi Camp to its former bravery, making the Queen dumbfounded.

As Jia Zi and Lin Hai received more and more attention from the new emperor, more and more people visited Lin's mansion every day.However, Jia Zi and Lin Hai kept a low profile. For those who came to visit, the name cards were accepted, the gifts were returned, and no one was seen.Even Jiazi, who was flamboyant and domineering back then, except for hiding in the barracks where outsiders were not allowed to enter, he hid in the deep compound of the Lin Mansion, ignoring the wind and rain outside.

The "sensibility" of Jia Zi and Lin Hai won the heart of the new emperor, and he trusted them even more.

The third day of August is Jia Mu's birthday.Although it's not a whole life, Jia's mother is an elder after all.Even though Jia Zi didn't want to see Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang and others in his heart anymore, he still had to prepare gifts and took Lin Hai and the three children to Rongguo Mansion to celebrate Jia Mu's birthday.

Throwing the weapon in his hand to the energetic soldiers aside, Jiazi picked up Lin Yan who was leaning against him in the morning and followed him to the barracks, and touched Lin Yan's sweaty face: "Let's go, go home."

Lin Yan held the small whip that he got from Du Ruo a few days ago in one hand, hugged Jiazi's neck with a dirty little hand, raised his sweaty face, and said in a proud tone: "Mother, I will leave tomorrow Still coming."

Lin Yan's crisp words aroused happy laughter from the people around him.If it wasn't for Lin Yan being hugged in Jiazi's arms at the moment, everyone would have squeezed Lin Yan a few times to express their love.

"It depends on the situation." Jia Zi said casually, and then walked towards the stable with Lin Yan in his arms.

When Jia Zi rode back home with Lin Yan, Lin Hai hadn't come back yet.While Lin Yan was pulling Lin Daiyu to show off how fun it was in the barracks, Jiazi took a shower and changed into clean clothes, and then wandered slowly to Lin Daiyu's yard, waiting for Lin Hai to come back, and the family went to Rongguo Mansion pays homage to Jiamu's birthday.

"Xian'er," Lin Daiyu stroked her head lightly, looking at Lin Yan's innocent face, and said softly, "Have you finished writing today's big characters?"

In terms of academics, Lin Hai's requirements have always been very strict, unlike Jiazi's easy-going manner.Even if you are young like Lin Yan, you still have to read and practice calligraphy every day.Unlike Jia Zheng who basically let go, whenever Lin Hai has time, he will personally check the homework of several children, and at the same time guide them. In this regard, daughter Lin Daiyu is no different from sons Lin Hui and Lin Yan. There is no special treatment for Lin Yan.

Sure enough, upon hearing Lin Daiyu's words, Lin Yan, who was chattering just now, immediately put away his complacency and put on a pitiful expression.

Lin Daiyu looked at Lin Yan's frowning and bitter expression, and a bright smile appeared on his face: Hmph, is it great to be able to play in the barracks?She didn't care if there was anything to show off!

"Sister," seeing Lin Daiyu's gentle smiling face, Lin Yan shook Lin Daiyu's hand, and said slightly anxiously, "What should I do? What if Dad punishes me..." Just think of Lin Hai's daily life The penalty of adding thirty extra large characters and memorizing the book five times made Lin Yan feel a little worried: If he couldn't finish it by then, wouldn't it mean that he would never be able to go to the Gyeonggi Camp again?

If you don't care about the content of the conversation between the siblings and just look at the expressions of the two people, maybe someone will think that Lin Daiyu caused trouble, and Lin Yan is worried about Lin Daiyu.However, the fact is that Lin Yan is worried about himself, seeks Lin Daiyu's help, and even vaguely expects that Lin Daiyu can take the initiative to help him find a way to escape Lin Hai's inspection: Well, it is best if Lin Daiyu is kind enough to write for him. Finish the big words for the next few months.

Lin Daiyu knew what kind of tricks Lin Yan was planning at a glance, and couldn't help pinching Lin Yan's little face in a funny way: "You little fat man, you have even learned how to play tricks. Believe it or not, I'll tell dad right away, huh?" Lin Daiyu looked at Lin Yan pretending to be threatening, as if she wanted to sue Lin Hai, saying that Lin Yan didn't write big characters today and didn't do her homework well.

Hearing Lin Daiyu's words, Lin Yan became anxious immediately. He hugged Lin Daiyu with both hands, blinked his eyes non-stop, and said in a discussing tone: "Sister is the best. I will help you beat Hongtong in the future. If you don't tell dad, OK?"

Hearing Lin Yan mentioning Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu was taken aback, and a trace of disgust slipped from the corner of her eyes.Obviously, Jia Baoyu left a very bad impression on Lin Daiyu in the previous few meetings.After all, Lin Daiyu's elder brother, Lin Hui, is about the same age as Jia Baoyu, but unlike Jia Baoyu's stubbornness, cowardice and cowardice, Lin Hui is gentle and polite, but he is never timid.Therefore, with Lin Hui as a comparison, Lin Daiyu naturally looked down upon Jia Baoyu.What's more, Jia Baoyu dared to bully her precious brother Lin Yan when they met for the first time, so Lin Daiyu naturally hated Jia Baoyu even more.

"Humph," Lin Daiyu snorted angrily, pinched Lin Yan's ears, and said in a tone of reprimand: "Tell you, if you dare to become like him in the future, I'll see how I deal with you." Thinking of Jia Baoyu's shameless demeanor, and thinking of Jia Xichun telling her that "Jia Baoyu loves to eat the rouge on the lips of maids in her room", Lin Daiyu shivered involuntarily: No, I will have it tomorrow. Discuss with Jia Zi and Lin Hai that there should be no more maids in Lin Yan's yard, and all of them should be replaced by servants and mothers-in-law, just like Lin Hui.

Hearing that Lin Daiyu compared herself with Jia Baoyu, Lin Yan was not happy.He clenched his small fists, and his slightly raised voice contained displeasure and anger: "I won't become so red!"

"What are you looking at?" Lin Hai, who had just returned home, received a report from his servants and came directly to Lin Daiyu, just in time to see Jiazi leaning aside, staring at Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan without blinking, and couldn't help being curious asked.

Gently shaking his head, Jiazi looked at Lin Hai with a smile on his face: "Are you back?"

Lin Hai smiled and nodded, then pointed to Lin Hui who was beside him: "By the way, bring this kid back."

Lin Hui rolled his eyes secretly, and said to himself, "What is a lead? It's not that I don't know the way home. Besides, I have to lead you!" Of course, what did Lin Hui mean by these words? I dare not say it out loud.Therefore, without even looking at Lin Hai, Lin Hui went directly to Jiazi's side, and said with a smile, "Mother, my son is back. Mother, this is what my son saw on the street today," Lin Hui said, directly He took out a white bracelet from his bosom and handed it to Jiazi, with a fawning look on his face: "My son knew that mother would like it when he saw it, so he quickly bought it."

The bracelet is inlaid with tiny crystal-like things, shining brightly in the sun, just like the bright smile on Jazi's face.

Jia Zi raised his eyebrows, and before he could speak, he saw Lin Hai slap Lin Hui on the head: "You kid, you played truant again, didn't you?"

Lin Hui directly stuffed the bracelet into Jiazi's hand, then ran to Lin Daiyu without thinking, "Yu'er, come and see what brother bought for you..."

Lin Hai glared at Lin Hui's back, turned his head and complained to Jiazi: "This kid just needs to be dealt with."

Jia Zi looked at Lin Hai jokingly, raised his hand and squeezed Lin Hai's chin: "I'm chasing love because Huier didn't buy you anything, so I feel unbalanced. Huh?" The slightly rising pronunciation fully expressed Jia Zi's chin. Zi's ​​good mood.

"How can I? Azi, you don't know, this kid is so courageous that he even skipped class again. Hmph, let's see how I deal with him!" Lin Hai said, grabbing Jiazi's hand that he was playing with in the sun. He glanced at the bracelet with disdain, and muttered: "What a bad eye this kid is, after buying such a bad thing, he still has the nerve to take it out, it's not enough for him to be ashamed."

"Haha..." Looking at Lin Hai's resentful face, Jia Zi couldn't help laughing happily.

Lin Hai looked at the smiling woman leaning on him, and touched his nose involuntarily: His reaction just now seemed a little childish.

"Cough," clearing his throat, Lin Hai pinched Jiazi's waist: "Azi, should we go?" Although Lin Hai was unwilling to bring up the matter of Rongguo Mansion at such a warm time, but, In order not to let the children in the family know about his ridiculous behavior just now, Lin Hai could only mention the Rongguo Mansion to divert Jiazi's attention.

Jia Zi was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses, he smiled, and his expression was a little awkward: "I almost forgot about it."

"You," looking at Jiazi's appearance, Lin Hai pinched Jiazi's nose in a funny way, and said with a smile, "Anyway, the gift has already been prepared. We don't need to worry, just go slowly." Thinking Rongguo Mansion's consistent behavior, Lin Hai almost said directly, "We will eat when we go, and leave after eating."

Jiazi nodded, and then saw Lin Hai in ordinary uniform: "By the way, do you want to change?"

Lin Hai looked at Jiazi puzzled, with an expression of "why should I change into new clothes".

"Forget it." Looking at Lin Hai's appearance, Jia Zi waved his hand casually: "This body is just this body. Anyway, we are not the protagonists, and the old lady is not an important person, so why do you have to dress up in fancy clothes? "

Lin Hai was originally from Tanhualang, so his appearance and temperament are naturally very outstanding.What's more, the age of 30 is the most attractive age for a man. Coupled with the result of years of pampered life and regular exercise, Lin Hai has an unspeakable mature charm.This kind of Lin Hai is the focus of attention wherever he goes; Jia Zi is not willing to take Lin Hai out for a walk, and then bring back a few rotten peach blossoms.

Hearing Jiazi's words, Lin Hai's mouth twitched uncontrollably: What do you mean by showing off?When had he ever been dressed up?What's more, his clothes were newly made this season, and he just changed into them when he left the official office.Besides, just as Jia Zi said, he is not the main character, nor is Jia Mu an important person, so he shouldn't change his clothes specially to set off the status of Rongguo Mansion: it seems that he is currying favor with Rongguo Mansion.

As for the children, Lin Daiyu tidied them up early in the morning, and Lin Yan also took a shower and changed clothes when he came back. As for Lin Hui, he had the same idea as Lin Hai: his body was clean and tidy, and he didn't need to change.

Watching the children getting into the car and horse, Jia Zi smiled and leaned into Lin Hai's ear, lowered his voice, and said in a teasing manner: "You are so cute when you are awkward just now, My Lord Lin."

When Lin Hai turned his head, Jia Zi tapped Lin Hai's lips lightly, smiled happily, and then conveniently got on his horse, guarded his daughter's carriage, and went all the way to Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Hai realized what Jiazi meant, and couldn't help but cast a provocative glance at Lin Hui, who was standing in front of him, and said proudly, "Hmph, brat, what's the use of buying more things? No matter how much you flatter me, Azi My heart still loves me the most.”

Lin Hui seemed to have noticed something, and turned around in confusion, but he saw nothing but his father, Lin Hai, on his horse.Seeing Lin Hai's neat movements among civil servants, Lin Hui curled his lips secretly, and said in his heart, "When I reach that age, I must look much more chic and handsome when I get on a horse."

Here, the Lin family dawdled for a long time before slowly setting off to Rongguo Mansion to pay respects to Jia Mu's birthday; A piece of colorful songs and laughter.

Jia Mu was originally a super-class lady of the state, with a high status, and Jia Yuanchun, who was born in Rongguo Mansion, was newly promoted to be a concubine. Therefore, many people came to Jia Mu's birthday: most of the people in Beijing Almost all the masters and mistresses of the Guixun family came, and even if people couldn't come, they specially sent people to bring gifts.

Looking at the lively scene in front of her that was comparable to that of Jia Yuan and Jia Daishan when they were alive, Mother Jia's face was full of joy: she seemed to have seen the glorious scene of Rongguo Mansion back then.

As a personal experiencer of the Jia clan in Jinling from the moment it was in the limelight to the present, Jia's mother naturally has a certain gap in her heart.However, since Jia Daishan's death, the Jia family seems to have lost its former glory.However, today, Mother Jia seems to have seen the prosperous scene of the Rongguo Mansion back then: and all of this is because of the presence of her, the super-class Duke and Madam, and the presence of Jia Yuanchun, whom she has carefully cultivated.Therefore, Jia's mother once again affirmed in her heart that Jia Yuanchun will definitely have a great fortune, and decided to build a family-friendly villa in order to win glory for Jia Yuanchun.

Looking at the people in the Rongqing hall with a smile who were circling around and flattering him, the smile on Jiamu's face never stopped.In the Rongxi Hall not far away, it was the first time that Jia Zheng, as the master of the Rongguo Mansion, entertained the guests who came to celebrate Jia's mother's birthday.

Glancing at Jia She, who was sitting carelessly in the hall of Rongxi Hall, Jia Zheng pouted, his eyes full of disdain: "It's really mud that can't support the wall. On my mother's birthday, I don't even know how to entertain the guests, I just know Sitting there eating and drinking, it's as if I haven't eaten good food in several lifetimes. Huh, the ancestor's title didn't fall on him, it's really an ancestor. Otherwise, the reputation of the mansion will be ruined by him." At this time Jia Zheng seemed to have forgotten that Jia Amnesty did not want his title.

Jia Amnesty was busy chatting with Wei Cheng who arrived at Rongguo Mansion early - with Wei Cheng's current status, there are naturally many officials who took the opportunity to curry favor with Wei Cheng.However, Wei Cheng, who had to come to Rongguo Mansion early because of Jia Min's relationship, was not willing to talk to them, and simply chatted "intimately" with Jia She, who also came early.Therefore, Jia Amnesty did not know Jia Zheng's aspirations at all.Otherwise, Jia Amnesty would probably have spat on Jia Zheng severely, and then said "stinky and shameless".

The author has something to say: resume updates.

Mother Jia and Jia Zheng felt that Jia Zi and Jia Min would take the money in the end: they think that everyone should pay attention to Jia Yuanchun, so it is understandable to think so;

The reason why Wang Xifeng stayed is because she is still useful.

Irresponsible Little Theater:

Lin Hai: My wife is mine, so it's useless for that kid Lin Hui to fawn on her.

Lin Hui: I have a jealous father, so helpless.

Lin Yan: My brothers and sisters love to bully me, it's really annoying.Hmph, today I'm going to beat up Hong Tongtong to vent my anger.

Lin Daiyu: My brother is here, hurry up and remove my flowers and plants, hurry up.
