[Red Chamber] Mrs. Lin replaced her

"What's the matter?" Jia Zi gently held Lin Daiyu's shoulders, and asked with concern: "Is anyone mad at you?" Jiazi noticed that Lin Daiyu was not in a good mood when she was there.However, there were so many people talking at that time, no matter how worried Jia Zi was about his daughter, he couldn't directly ask Lin Daiyu what was going on and whether someone was bullying her.After finally leaving the Rongqing Hall, Jia Zi hurriedly took Lin Daiyu to his side, and asked her why she was in a bad mood.Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, they only saw the mother and daughter whispering intimately.

Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Zi in surprise, obviously she didn't expect Jia Zi to find out that she was not interested so quickly.However, in the end Lin Daiyu just bit her lip, shook her head lightly, and didn't tell Jiazi what was bothering her right now.

Jia Zi touched Lin Daiyu's head with a smile, and said softly, "Since you don't want to talk, I won't ask. However, if you want to talk, you can come to me anytime."

Even though he said this, Jia Zi would not really ignore this matter.She decided to go back and ask Xiang Ling, who had been by Lin Daiyu's side all the time, to see who had the guts to make Lin Daiyu angry.In fact, Jia Zi could guess this person even if he didn't ask. Looking at the whole Rongguo Mansion, the only one who dared to make Lin Daiyu angry was the one who was still nestling in Jia Mu's arms just now, crying "Sister Lin, don't go away" The baby phoenix egg is Jia Baoyu.If Jia Baoyu really dared to make Lin Daiyu angry, Jia Zi gently stroked the whip on his waist: She would not mind teaching Jia Baoyu etiquette for Jia Zheng.

Lin Daiyu tilted her head to look at Jiazi, pursed her lips, and nodded: "Yeah." In fact, Lin Daiyu really had the urge to directly tell Jiazi everything she experienced today.However, thinking about what happened today, for a while, she really didn't know how to speak.

"Mother," while waiting for Lin Hai, Lin Hui, and Lin Yan to come over, Lin Daiyu suddenly put her arms around Jiazi's waist, buried her head in Jiazi's chest, and said in a muffled voice, "I won't wait May I ride home with you?"

"Of course it's possible." Hearing the cautiousness in Lin Daiyu's tone that was afraid of being rejected, Jiazi couldn't help but feel a little funny: "What's wrong with this? I didn't expect it before, and Ming'er will raise you in the Zhuangzi." A horse. When you feel bored one day, just go relax and have a good time. Okay?"

Hearing Jiazi's words, Lin Daiyu quickly raised her head and looked at Jiazi expectantly, with a look of "really?"

Seeing Lin Daiyu's bright eyes, Jiazi supported her shoulder with one hand, nodded her nose with the other, and said with a smile, "Little girl, can I still lie to you?"

With Jiazi's affirmation, Lin Daiyu was so happy that she almost jumped up: Even if Lin Hui watered the flowers she carefully cultivated to death at this time, she would not be angry.

As Jiazi's daughter, Lin Daiyu can certainly ride a horse.It's just that, after coming to the capital, she never rode a horse again: after all, the ladies in the capital don't ride horses.If Lin Daiyu wasn't in a really bad mood today, she wouldn't have asked Jia Zi to ride a horse.However, she never expected that Jiazi would agree to her request so happily, and promised to raise a horse for her in the village, so that she could relax at any time.Therefore, after confirming that Jia Zi did not deceive her, Lin Daiyu's excited mood can be imagined.

And Lin Daiyu's good mood is also expressed in her behavior.Although she still didn't tell Jiazi what happened before, she still hugged Jiazi's arm and chatted non-stop which was rare.

As soon as Lin Hai walked over with his two sons, he saw his daughter Lin Daiyu hugging Jiazi's arm and talking excitedly to Jiazi.

"What are you two whispering?" Lin Hai held Lin Yan's collar in one hand, walked over with a smile, and winked at Jia Zi: "Let me listen to it."

In fact, when he heard that something happened at Rongqingtang, Lin Hai was very worried, unlike other men who were inexplicably relieved when they knew that Jia Zi was there: Even if Jia Zi was a famous female general, in Lin Hai's eyes Well, she is a woman after all, and she will suffer a loss when confronted with a scoundrel who doesn't care about anything.

Therefore, as soon as Lin Hai knew that a rogue had broken into Rongqing Hall, he rushed to Rongqing Hall in a hurry.However, as soon as Lin Hai arrived outside the courtyard of Rongqing Hall, he saw the people sent by Jiazi and knew the specific situation in Rongqing Hall.

After knowing that Zhang Hua and his son had been kicked out of the main hall of Rongqing Hall by Jia Zi, Lin Hai did not enter the inner courtyard of Rongqing Hall, but chose to leave silently: since Jia Zi did not suffer, Lin Hai naturally also We can no longer rush into the Rongqing Hall recklessly—what if there are female family members who have not yet left?What's more, Mother You is coming soon: she is Jia Zheng's concubine, so Lin Hai naturally wants to avoid her.

So, after knowing the news about Jia Zi and regaining his composure, Lin Hai left with Wei Cheng and Jia She who came later.Of course, before the three of them left, they still called the servants of the Rongguo Mansion and told them to throw them out if Zhang Hua and his son made trouble again.

However, Lin Hai's heart was still in suspense without seeing Jia Zi safe and sound with his own eyes.Even though Lin Hui had told him about the situation at that time, Lin Hai was still a little absent-minded: even when talking to people, he still looked out of his mind.As soon as the birthday banquet was over, Lin Hai hurried out with his two sons.Seeing the picture of Jiazi embracing his daughter, Lin Hai suddenly felt that his heart had fallen to the ground, and he was in the mood to joke.

"Mother," hearing Lin Hai's words, Lin Yan hurriedly broke free from Lin Hai's hand, ran over, hugged Jiazi's leg, raised his head and looked at Jiazi, with a look unwilling to lag behind: "I also I want to whisper to you.

Lin Hui pinched his younger brother's ears amusedly: "I said, why are you joining in the fun?" Being preempted by his younger brother, Lin Hui couldn't help feeling itchy in his heart: he really has a secret right now To tell Jazz.

"Are you going to tell me?" Jiazi rubbed Lin Yan's face with a smile, with a mocking look: "Where did you hide your private money?"

Lin Daiyu also looked at Lin Yan with a smile: "I want to know too."

Even Lin Hai and Lin Hui looked at Lin Yan with smiles on their faces, and they were very curious about Lin Yan's answer: they just wanted to see how Lin Yan would answer this question that was obviously beyond his expectations.

Seeing the people around him smiling and looking at him, Lin Yan scratched his head with a confused look on his face, apparently he still didn't know what private money was.

Seeing Lin Yan's ignorant look, Lin Hui rolled his eyes, suddenly smirked and pulled Lin Yan to his side, raised a hand to cover Lin Yan's ear, and whispered to Lin Yan in a low voice. whispering something in his ear.

Hearing Lin Hui's words, Lin Yan couldn't help but widen his eyes, looked at Lin Hai curiously, and then nodded heavily.

"Father," after Lin Hui finished speaking, Lin Yan rushed towards Lin Hai without thinking, hugged Lin Hai's thigh, and asked innocently, "Where did you hide your private money? "

Hearing Lin Yan's words, Jia Zi burst into laughter: She really didn't expect Lin Hui to encourage Lin Yan to ask such a question, and Lin Yan actually asked.

After praising "Good question" in his heart, Jiazi turned his gaze to Lin Hai with a smile, wanting to see how Lin Hai would answer this question.

Being watched by Jia Zi with a look of hopeful eyes, Lin Hai couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded: Why did Jia Zi mess around with a few children?However, looking at the innocent younger son, Lin Hai gave his older son a smirking look, and said, "Let me know that you are instigating me again, and see how I deal with you."

Lin Hui stuck out his tongue and smiled mischievously: "Father, you have to be fair. My son is so smart, how could my son be able to encourage him?" Naturally, Lin Hui would not admit what he had just said to Lin Yan, even though This is already an open secret.

Seeing Lin Hui's smile, Lin Hai was disgusted: this son was born against him, he has robbed Jazi from him since he was born, and now he is instigating his innocent younger brother to play tricks on him... It seems that, It's time to give him a little more homework: save him from being idle all day long and thinking about how to play tricks on others.

Here, Lin Hai thought about giving Lin Hui brothers more homework: Of course, Lin Hui is the main one, as for Lin Yan, he was completely implicated by Lin Hui.Over there, taking advantage of Lin Hai's inattention, Lin Hui secretly pushed Lin Yan again, and gave Lin Yan a look, indicating that Lin Hai hadn't answered Lin Yan's question just now.

Lin Hui, who had just been praised by Lin Hui, now naturally obeys Lin Hui's words. Therefore, after receiving Lin Hui's reminder, he quickly grabbed Lin Hai's robe and looked up at Lin Hai: "Father, why don't you Didn't tell me, where did you hide your private money?"

"You are young," Lin Hai glared at Lin Yan, and reprimanded casually, "What nonsense are you talking about? Is this what you should ask? You don't learn well all day long..."

"Okay, okay, it's getting late, we should go home." Jiazi squeezed Lin Hai's arm with a smile, and directly changed the subject: Although she really wanted to see Lin Hai's jokes, it didn't mean that She wants to watch it with someone else.

Lin Hai quickly echoed: "Well, let's go home. When you get back, show me all your homework during this period of time to check." When talking to Jiazi, Lin Hai was amiable; When talking to his two sons, Lin Hai's tone turned harsh involuntarily.

Of course, this kind of harshness sounded like anger from shame to Jazi.However, Jiazi naturally wouldn't expose Lin Hai.She just looked at Lin Hai with a smile, as if "I understand everything".

Hearing Lin Hai's words, Lin Yan quickly lowered his head and twisted his body uneasily.At the same time, he couldn't help looking at Lin Daiyu secretly for help: What should I do? He didn't write the big characters today, and he was about to be discovered. What should I do?Will he be punished?

Seeing Lin Yan's pitiful eyes, Lin Daiyu almost laughed out loud: This little fat man is really unlucky, why was he caught right away?

Lin Hui looked at Lin Yan's obvious guilt and wanted to touch his forehead: Didn't the little fat man tell Lin Hai clearly, "I didn't do my homework, come and punish me"!The more it is at such a time, the more calm and composed it should be.After all, it is a child, or it is too tender.Well, in view of the fact that he completed the task well today, someday I have time to teach him these things well.But, what's the matter with this deep sense of uneasiness in my heart?How could he have the feeling that he was going to be unlucky?

"Don't worry." In the end, Lin Daiyu approached Lin Yan secretly, and said in a low voice, "With Mother here, Father won't do anything to you. Besides, I will help you talk."

Lin Yan secretly glanced at Lin Hai who was talking to Jia Zi, and nodded heavily: "Yes."

Lin Hai saw Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan whispering together, but he didn't take it seriously: it's just a child, no matter how hard it is, it can't jump out of his palm.What's more, the children's feelings are harmonious, they know how to cherish brotherhood, and they help each other. Lin Hai is naturally happy to see such a scene.

However, Lin Hai never expected that as soon as he stepped out of the gate of Rongguo Mansion, he would see an unimaginable scene: Lin Daiyu neatly got on Jiazi's horse, Lin Hui and Lin Yan stood beside him happily, applauding .

"What's going on?" Lin Hai looked at Lin Daiyu in confusion, and then at Jia Zi: "Why, Yu'er..."

"I have a good relationship with Yu'er." Jiazi raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Hai provocatively: "Why, can't you?"

Lin Hai smiled and shook his head: "When did I say I can't do it? But, let Yu'er put on the hat! After all, it's my daughter's home." From Lin Hai's point of view, his daughter's beautiful appearance can't be ignored by outsiders for nothing. I looked: Although it was late at this time, there were not many pedestrians on the road.

In fact, Lin Hai is really different from the pedantic scholar in Jiazi's impression.In other words, after living with Jiazi for more than ten years, Lin Hai has also been "bad" by Jiazi: he no longer cares about many things.Lin Hai naturally knows how to choose between obstinately adhering to the stereotypes and making his daughter happy.What's more, thinking of Lin Daiyu's cautious actions after coming to the capital, and the bright smile on his face at the moment, how could Lin Hai stop Lin Daiyu?

"Want to take it?" Jiazi leaned into Lin Daiyu's ear and asked softly.In Jiazi's view, the veiled cap is extremely boring: it's not just that it looks ugly, so why use a veiled cap for decoration?What's more, with a veiled hat, I'm afraid I can't even see the road clearly, right?How is that different from sitting in a carriage?

Lin Daiyu thought for a while, and finally nodded lightly: After all, the capital is no better than Yangzhou. She can ride a horse and she is already much better than other girls. Naturally, she can't ask for too much.

However, in the end, Jiazi did not put a veil on Lin Daiyu, but just covered half of her daughter's face with a silk scarf: in this way, Lin Daiyu is not considered to be public.Besides, with her and Lin Hai's identities and status, who would dare to gossip?

Lin Daiyu rode on the horse with Jiazi excitedly, feeling as if she had returned to Yangzhou.Although in the capital, Jiazi needed to take care of the pedestrians, the horse's speed was very slow, but this did not affect Lin Daiyu's good mood.The smile on her face was as bright as riding a horse with Jia Zi and Lin Hui in the outskirts of Yangzhou.

"Mother," snuggling into Jia Zi's arms secretly, Lin Daiyu suddenly said softly, "I don't like that Miss Shi Da." Come.Moreover, there are people from the Lin family all around, so Lin Daiyu doesn't have to worry about her words getting out.Therefore, when Jazi didn't expect it, she actually spoke directly.

Shi Xiangyun is the grand-niece of Jia's mother and the only daughter of Shi Jia who died young.After Shi Nai and his wife passed away, Shi Xiangyun was brought up by his uncle Shi Nai and his wife.Mother Jia felt sorry for the early death of her parents and had no one to support her, so she often took her to Rongguo Mansion to take care of her.Because of Jia's mother, Shi Xiangyun is quite favored in Rongguo Mansion, and the servants also call her "Miss Shi", and her status is much higher than that of Jia Yingchun and Jia Tanchun in the Rongguo Mansion.

Of course, Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu cannot be compared.Not to mention anything else, even if Shi Tuo was still alive, he might not be able to compare with Jia Zi and Lin Hai.Besides, Lin Daiyu is the granddaughter of Ningguo Mansion, and Shi Xiangyun is only related to Rongguo Mansion.And the Ningguo Mansion is a legitimate mansion, but Jia Zheng of the Rongguo Mansion is now just a fifth-rank general.

The most important thing is that Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun don't have any contact at ordinary times, only when Lin Daiyu has to go to Rongguo Mansion occasionally can they meet each other.In addition, Lin Daiyu is not someone who likes to cause trouble.Therefore, there should be no conflict between her and Shi Xiangyun.

However, when he heard Lin Daiyu's words, Jiazi's heart skipped a beat: Why did Yu'er say such words suddenly?Could it be because of Jia Baoyu—who in the Jia family doesn’t know that Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu have an unusually close relationship. Since they were young, they have lived in and out of a green gauze closet, and now they have reached the point where they share a basin of wash water ...

Thinking of Jia Baoyu's virtues, if Lin Daiyu really... Jia Zi shuddered: If that's the case, she would rather be hated by her daughter than be a villain.

Although Jiazi's thoughts were ever-changing, his face was not revealed at all.She just looked at her daughter gently, with a little curiosity in her tone: "You mean Shi Xiangyun?"

Naturally, Lin Daiyu didn't know that Jiazi's heart was full of twists and turns at that moment: "Well, they all said that Miss Shi is straightforward and charming, but I... I don't think that's the case." Thinking of Shi Xiangyun's complaints just now, Lin Daiyu couldn't develop a good impression of her: Shi Xiangyun told everyone how miserable, pitiful, and unfree she was in her uncle's house. Wasn't she really trying to gain sympathy?

"What's the matter, does she still dare to bully you?" Although Jia Zi had no contact with Shi Xiangyun, she knew clearly in her heart: Shi Mu's grandniece, how can she be such a straightforward and innocent character.It's just that it's not easy for Jiazi to tell Lin Daiyu directly.Now that Lin Daiyu can find out by herself, it is naturally the best.

"Mother, you are teasing me again," Lin Daiyu laughed at Jia Zi's words: "Who would dare to bully a daughter?" Lin Daiyu has her father and mother who are in high positions to support her, and her elder brother and younger brother are willing to stand up for her , no matter where you go, you don't have to be afraid: as long as you are not stupid, you dare not do anything to Lin Daiyu.

Jiazi said in a solemn tone: "It's best if you don't have one. If you have one, you don't have to bear it, just slap it. You have your mother and your father to support you in everything, you know?" Another sentence is Jiazi Nothing to say: If she and Lin Hai have worked so hard and managed for so many years, if they can't even support their daughter, then the two of them might as well resign from the office and go back to Gusu to farm!No, they really can't go back to Gusu, it's too embarrassing.

"En!" Lin Daiyu nodded and responded directly.Lin Daiyu said that she was used to being taught by Jiazi often.However, when Jiazi interrupted her, Lin Daiyu forgot what she wanted to say.Therefore, her question was directly shifted to another unimaginable direction: "Mother, is the historian really poor?" In fact, if it hadn't been interrupted by Jiazi just now, Lin Daiyu really couldn't ask such a question .

"The Shi family is poor?" Jiazi said amusedly, "Which idiot did you hear that from?"

Lin Daiyu turned her head and looked at Jia Zi mischievously, blinking her eyes, with a look of "guess".

Jia Zi already knew the answer: who else could say such a thing, except Shi Xiangyun, who was known to eat and live with Jia Baoyu?

"Little girl." Jiazi pinched Lin Daiyu's face with a smile, and explained: "The historian was born in Jinling, after Shang Shuling Shi Gong. When he was in Jinling, the historian was also a big family and accumulated wealth for many generations. Later, the historian His ancestors fought all the way to the capital with Emperor Tai Zu, and made many military exploits, and were able to be promoted to ranks. Although there is only one noble title handed down from the historian's ancestors, the foundation is still there. Besides, their family Shi Ding, the youngest, was conferred the title of Marquis of Zhongjing by the emperor a few years ago, so he doesn’t need to rely on his family to support him.”

When it comes to Marquis Zhongjing, Jiazi feels disdainful: Shi Ding's position as Marquis is really cheap - if it wasn't for the emperor who wanted to check and balance the prince, how could Shi Ding, the supporter of the third prince, be able to do it because he wiped out the prince? Join bandits and become a Marquis?I don't know if Jia Yan, Jia Yuan and others, who have escaped from death and made countless military exploits, will be so angry that they will come back to life?

"But, Miss Shi said that the historian is very poor, and she has to stay up all night doing needlework!" Lin Daiyu said mockingly.She naturally understood Jia Zi's meaning: the historian is a family of two princes, and is also a family member, so it is impossible to be short of money, and of course Shi Xiangyun does not need to stay up all night doing needlework.It's just that Shi Xiangyun's words like accusations still echoed in his ears: she has no freedom at all in Shijia, and no one cares about her. She has to stay up late every day to do needlework, so she can only relax when she arrives at Rongguo Mansion. ...

"What?" Jiazi's eyes widened, completely disbelieving that Shi Xiangyun could even say such a thing: her parents are gone, and she has been raised by Shi Nai and his wife.But how dare Shi Nai and his wife treat her harshly?Even for the reputation of the historian, Shi Nai and his wife did not dare to treat her harshly.If it gets out, will Shi Nai lose face?Is Shi Nai's wife still hanging out in the circle?Is Shi Nai's daughter going to marry again?

Lin Daiyu nodded, and muttered softly: "Mom, you don't even know that in front of us big guys, she didn't even say a good word to her uncle and aunt, instead she kept complaining about how her uncle and aunt treated her. Why is it bad: she was made to stay up all night doing needlework, and she took her mother's dowry or something... But, she is younger than me, so what if she got her mother's dowry?"

In fact, this is exactly what Lin Daiyu dislikes about Shi Xiangyun: Shi Xiangyun lost her father since she was a child, and was brought up by her uncle Shi Nai and his wife; but she doesn't think about Shi Nai and his wife at all, instead she always complains about Shi Nai and his wife He didn't treat her well, he didn't treat her perfectly, and he didn't give her her mother's dowry...

"My Yu'er has really grown up." Hearing Lin Daiyu's words, Jia Zi was naturally very pleased: her daughter is indeed not the kind of fool who has a lot of sympathy but doesn't know how to think and is easy to be used by others .If Lin Daiyu is really like that, she and Lin Hai will have to worry about it in the future.

With Jia Zi's encouragement, Lin Daiyu spoke more smoothly: "Mother, you don't know that after Miss Shi finished those words, Miss Xue, Sister Ying, Sister Xi'er, and Sister Ruoxun , They all think she is very pitiful! But, I don’t think so. I think she said that on purpose, just to make everyone feel sorry for her, let her go, and give her anything good. If her If uncle really treated her so badly, how could he ask someone to teach her to read and write poetry?"

Jia Zi smiled, but said nothing: Lin Daiyu had already spoken clearly, so there was no need for her to say anything more.In fact, Jia Zi really didn't want Lin Daiyu to have too much contact with Shi Xiangyun: just looking at the close relationship between Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu, Jia Zi didn't want Lin Daiyu to have any contact with Shi Xiangyun, and it would be best not to see each other forever.

"Mother, do you think it's bad for me to speak ill of people behind their backs?" Thinking of what she said just now, Lin Daiyu kept twirling her fingers, with a bit of shyness on her white and tender face, a look of embarrassment look like.

"You're just expressing your own thoughts," Jiazi said with a smile, "How can you say bad things about people? All the daughters of the Shi family have learned needlework since they were very young. Shi Nai's daughter-in-law is only older than Shi Xiangyun." I have been young for two months, and now I have to do needlework every day, just like you brothers and sisters have to read and practice calligraphy every day."

In fact, for the vast majority of girls, female workers are compulsory courses.Only a girl like Jia Zi, who was raised and raised since childhood, has a relatively strong personality and is not restrained by her biological mother, can understand nothing about female workers.

Of course, since both Jiazi and Lin Hai are very enlightened people, Lin Daiyu is also extremely free in this regard, and can learn according to her own preferences.

"I see," Lin Daiyu slapped her hands, with a tone of sudden understanding: "It's obvious that she is playful, and she hasn't finished her homework during the day, so naturally she needs to stay up late at night to do it. However, she didn't find the reason on herself, but instead Push the matter to her uncle and aunt. Hmph," Lin Daiyu snorted softly, with a bit of disdain in her tone: "I just said she was trying to gain sympathy!"

After figuring this out, Lin Daiyu really felt relieved: disliking Shi Xiangyun was not her problem, but what Shi Xiangyun said and did really made her unable to like him.However, thinking that Shi Xiangyun used this kind of thing to win sympathy, Lin Daiyu felt even more disgusted.

Seeing his daughter groaning in anger, Jiazi couldn't help laughing out: "Okay, can you be angry with her?"

Lin Daiyu retorted unyieldingly: "I'm not angry! She's not me, why should I be angry?"

The mother and daughter chatted all the way back to the Lin Mansion, and as soon as Lin Hui and Lin Yan entered the mansion, they were carried to the study by Lin Hai.

The author has something to say: Don't pick the part about the curtain.

small theater:

Lin Hui: Fatty is a fighter, he can fight whoever he catches

Lin Daiyu: The little fat man is a bomber, he can hit anyone

Jia Baoyu: Little Fatty is a nuisance, whenever I talk to Sister Lin, he bares his teeth

Shi Xiangyun: The Bisha cupboard is mine now, whoever snatches it from me is in a hurry.I'm so pitiful, why do you have the nerve to rob me!
