The Son-in-law of the Red Chamber
Chapter 22 Zhen Jialuo, conspiracy to make money
Now everyone in the Zhen family is full of ambitions and the scenery is boundless. After taking control of the Jiangnan Salt Administration and having the big money bag of salt tax, the Zhen family looks like a rich man. After many days of hard work, those flatterers called him "Zhen Buddha" and praised his family's extravagance and generosity!
The Zhen family also attaches great importance to such a reputation. After all, this is a very good thing. Who would think that their reputation is too good?From time to time, they will give away porridge and donate noodles, and donate to monks to help Taoists. Anyway, in this Jiangnan, everyone knows that their family's generosity can do anything. Whenever someone's family has difficulties, everyone will ask for help from the Zhen family. Eight or nine out of ten of these can be satisfied!
Therefore, he has become more and more sought after by those small people who are trying to gain money, and he looks like he is at the height of the sky.
Jia Lian listened to these people's compliments on the Zhen family, and felt extremely envious. He thought about it again, now they also have a concubine in the Jia family, and when he thought about the glorious days of Princess Zhen Gui and King Zhongshun, Jia Lian thought about it again. If a dragon son is born in the morning, the Zhen family today will be the Jia family tomorrow!
In Jia Lian's mind, the majesty of the uncle of the country, the relatives of the emperor and the relatives of the country, showed his coveted color.
No matter what, I have to do the things the old lady ordered properly. Besides, the family is also charitable, but it is only temporarily borrowed. When the days are more abundant in the future, it will naturally be repaid, at least better than greedy people. Are the Lin family members much better off?
Now the family is just unable to make ends meet, so they just borrowed the Lin family's wealth, and waited for a few years, when the Jia family turned around, could they still forget about sister Lin and brother-in-law Lin?
Sure enough, with the support of the eldest sister in the palace, brother-in-law Lin wants to be an official, and has the contacts of the Jia family to pave the way. Isn't it easy to get promoted and get rich?
So Jia Lian was not ashamed at all of what he had done, and even felt complacent that he had solved a problem for brother-in-law Lin.
Jia Lian sent someone to Zhen's house to send a letter of greeting from the Duke's Mansion, and Zhen Yingjia indeed met Jia Lian with the attitude of a family friend. After reading the master's letter, Zhen Yingjia nodded to show that she understood.
But there are some things, you can't be too blatant!Now my younger brother Zhen Yingrong is the censor of Yanyan, so what should be avoided is to avoid suspicion, and Jia Lian is also very clear about this.Anyway, he can be regarded as someone who has experienced the world, not a fledgling kid.
In the end, I don't know what the two whispered in the study, anyway, both the host and the guest are smiling, with a tacit understanding.
Jia Lian reappeared in the Gusu Lin Mansion, Luo Chenyi and Daiyu were still in the attitude of being soft and hard, they appreciated Lian's second brother's kindness, and now they are still staying in Gusu for the time being, and waiting for the filial piety of the master After passing, they will naturally go to Beijing.
Jia Lian persuaded and persuaded, but unfortunately, the couple who didn't like oil and salt succeeded in exhausting Jia Lian's patience!But in the inner house, Daiyu has disappeared the azalea.
Zijuan, after all, I misjudged her!
Since then, the friendship between master and servant has been cut off for many years. She is really a maid of Jia's house, she is devoted to the master's family, and she listened to the master's order to plot against her half-way master. In fact, it can be said.
If so, Daiyu is also very sad, and dinner is useless.
Luo Chenyi didn't force her either, just don't eat if you don't want to eat, so as to save indigestion and waste of food.
Jia Lian, who had run out of patience, finally made up his mind, and then directed Lai Wanger to go out with his jade pendant and the official seal.
Lai Wang'er went to the biggest inn in Gusu City, met a middle-aged man who looked like a manager, the two of them muttered for a while, and then Wang'er came back in a low-key manner...
Jia Lian's master and servant thought that they acted secretly and thoughtfully, but they didn't know that someone was watching Jia Lian's master and servant's every move without blinking!
"Girl, uncle, what should we do now?"
Although Lin Jiadong was angry, he didn't lose his composure too much. He accompanied his old master who passed away through ups and downs for decades, and he didn't take this idea very seriously, but it wasn't himself who should make up his mind, but Two little masters.
Now that the master has passed away, the Lin family has lost its asylum, and the master is still young, this is a mouthful of fat, an immature boy holding gold bricks in the downtown area, and he can't be annoyed that others want to swallow the Lin family, but no one thought that the first One of the strikers would be the relatives of the Jia family, and they even joined forces with the outsider Zhen's family!
The current Zhen family is in full swing, can they compete with the Zhen family?
Lin Jiadong expressed doubts about this!He has experienced the officialdom, and the people do not fight with the officials, so he is a hero who knows what is the most current affairs!
So now he wants to know how the two little masters should deal with it.
"Housekeeper, my husband and I have discussed this matter a long time ago. It's human nature to live in a cold world after my father passed away. It's also reasonable for people in official circles to drink tea, so the Zhen family wants a shop and the Lin family's property. That's fine. Sell it to them, we have floating wealth, and then we can buy property!"
Lin Jiadong's decision on the girl was also unexpected, but looking at the calm-faced son-in-law, he immediately felt that he had come to the truth.At the beginning, the master chose this person, but it was not just because the Luo family was willing.What the master valued was my son's means and ability, and what the master valued was the changes of today.
"Okay, I'll listen to the girl, but what if the Zhen family suppresses the price too hard?"
"The harder the better, we'll sell it at whatever price they offer! The more you swallow today, the more you'll spit it out in the future."
Luo Chenyi added with a smile on the side.
"This……"
Lin Jiadong looked at the girl suspiciously,
"Well, listen to my uncle, what he said is what I mean! Don't worry, butler, I will not let Lin Jiabai suffer!"
Daiyu nodded and said.Although she didn't care about these vulgar things, they were accumulated by the Lin family's ancestors and left to her by her father, so how could she give up because she didn't like it?
The Zhen family, what a Zhen family!The Jia family, don't mention it...
Now that the masters have said this, Lin Jiadong has less worries. Most of the Lin family's property is actually the price of cabbage, and it is dealt with like the price of jumping from a building, which also arouses everyone's discussion.
The Zhen family and Jia Lian were beaming, they just got a big deal.
All parties who secretly followed this matter shook their heads, "It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be!"
Luo Wenyuan, who was far away in Jinling, even wrote a letter to reprimand the eldest son, such a good thing, you don't think about the family?
Bringing such lucrative shops and properties back to the Luo family is better than taking advantage of outsiders, isn't it?Besides, do you still have younger siblings who are not married?Could it be that your brother and sister are really going to kill themselves and the family in the future?
I don't even think about it, if I really don't have my own father, who would want to marry Luo Wanhui, who is not close to me!
Seeing this, Luo Chenyi felt that it was absolutely right for him to take his younger sister away from the family. It would be better to have such a father than not to have one.
Of course, Luo Wenyuan's long-term follower came together with the letter. Luo Chenyi naturally understood what his plan was. After sneering twice, Luo Wenyuan spread his hands like a scholarly son, expressing that he didn't understand common affairs , these things are handled by Lin Jiadong, the big housekeeper of the Lin family, so if you have any matters, you should go to the big housekeeper to discuss!
Lin Jiadong had received his aunt's order early on, and happily sold them to the Luo family's second-bedroom shop, but they were all glamorous and glamorous, but not useful.
Lin Jiadong didn't show any strange expression about my uncle's deception. There are some things that the girl doesn't know, but he, the big housekeeper, knows it all.
The Lin family's young couple sold most of the family's profitable property. Anyway, who is not selling?So the new patriarch of the Lin family discussed with the elders, and then came to cry poorly with a shy face.
Luo Chenyi's status was embarrassing. Although he was in charge of receiving these relatives and clansmen, he kept silent all the time and didn't speak. On the contrary, Lin Jiadong just pointed his nose and scolded his mother. At the beginning, the old man tried his best for the clansmen. If it was really too much, his girl would still have the title of county head.
A group of old and handsome people were pointed at their noses and scolded by a servant, but what they said was the truth, so the faces of the young and old in the Lin family were really good-looking.
Ever since Luo Chenyi discovered that as long as he acted like a scholarly (dai) son, these people would not bother him, he specially adjusted his personality recently, and started to be more and more dull.
His embarrassing status can escape these tedious matters, but as the mistress of the Lin family, Daiyu has no way to evade!
Facing a room full of older and senior wives and grandmas than herself, Daiyu felt helpless.At the same time, I am also thankful for my father's original decision, fortunately, the clan has been divided, otherwise, these people are afraid that they will eat themselves alive!
These are the people who are confident, aggressive, and shameless.
In the end, Nanny Chen stood up and directly blasted the female relatives out with a cold face!
"It's time for the county master to rest, wives and grandmas, please come back another day!"
Although those people were thick-skinned and lacked advance and retreat, they were reprimanded face-to-face by their servants, and their faces turned blue and purple for a while.
Fortunately, a little maid came in to rescue the siege, and the master in front was going home too.
So these wives and grandmas hastily changed their households to be served by maids and women, put on coats, tidied up their appearance, and went out.
Although Daiyu is the head of the county, she still sends them all to the second gate.
Luo Chenyi also finished his task of accompanying guests in the vase, and returned to the inner house. The husband and wife looked at each other, and they both saw a bit of fatigue in each other's eyes.
At dinner time, Du Juan and Shao Yao, who were tidying up the house, said that several pieces of plain silver jewelry of Daiyu were missing, two white jade rings were missing, and even a root-carved pen holder on the desk was missing.
The husband and wife looked at each other in blank dismay!
This, this is just like locusts crossing the border, and it really makes people don't know what to say.
"In the future, there will be female relatives visiting, so please don't miss them if you can. Otherwise, don't meet guests here, and go to the flower hall to sit for a while!"
Luo Chenyi held his wife's hand and comforted him.
Daiyu nodded, that's all she could do.
But soon these female relatives will not bother her anymore.
Because the Lin family's shop industry and the like have almost been dealt with.
……
At the same time, not only Daiyu and his wife breathed a sigh of relief, but also Jia Lian, the Zhen family, the Lin family, and even Luo Wenyuan's long-term follower.
Speaking of which, the Lin family is really a huge property. It's a pity that Lin Ruhai is also pitiful. He sacrificed his life for the country, and now his daughter and son-in-law can't even keep the family business.
Anyway, in Jiangnan, there are many people who sympathize with the Lin family and the county magistrate Jingxiao.
At this moment in Beijing, after seeing what the Zhen family did in the secret report, the emperor felt his face swell and hurt a little.
The emperor, however, was much happier. To be precise, it should be gloating!
Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai, take a look, this is the master you are loyal to, and it is the Zhen family who bullies your children...
Dai Quan beside the emperor wanted to cover his ears.
Your Majesty, are you really okay?
Lin Ruhai's [-]-day filial piety, and Daiyu and his wife officiated the funeral, which was considered to have completely ended the funeral. In the future, there will be no need to be so cumbersome, and only the anniversary ceremony will be held for three years.
Thinking of her father's voice and smile, and thinking of his hard work, Daiyu burst into tears!
Today, there is an eternal separation between man and man, and he will never see his father again.
Luo Chenyi didn't dissuade her, and let Daiyu vent her sadness, saving her from being depressed and hurting her body again...
"Sister Lin, brother-in-law Lin, I'm going back to Beijing today, but is it true that I won't go to Beijing with my second elder brother? The eldest sister in the house has already been concubine. I can't delay any longer..."
After Jia Lian's purse was full, he said to Daiyu and his wife in a complacent manner.
"Trouble second cousin, wait for me to congratulate the old lady, uncle, and aunt after entering Beijing! I am in the filial piety now, but it is inconvenient to come to the door. Let's wait for the future, the days are still long!"
Daiyu said lightly.
"Okay, if Sister Lin wants to go to Beijing in the future, Wanqian will send someone here. No one dares to tell her, but Second Brother will come to pick her up in person!"
"Thank you, Second Brother, for your kindness!"
After Fu said a few words that were neither salty nor dull, Jia Lian took Lai Wang'er and set off.
Going north directly from Gusu, but on the way, they met the Xue family who were going north. They knew each other immediately, and they were relatives, so they formed a team and went north together.
Jia Lian and Xue Pan hit it off and became good brothers who talked about everything.
Xue Pan admired Jia Lian in all kinds of ways. My cousin's husband was indeed from the Duke's mansion and the younger brother of a noble concubine. He had seen big scenes before. If he could really see those big scenes with Lian's second brother, he would be It's worth dying right now.
As for Jia Lian, he found a sense of superiority in front of Xue Pan. Although he is an imperial merchant, he is just a bumpkin who has never seen the world, but this Xue family is also a millionaire. The relationship between them became more and more harmonious.
What is the so-called friendship between men, going through windows together, carrying guns together, climbing over walls together, and sharing stolen goods together;Jia Lian and Xue Pan experienced it one by one, prostitution, prostitution, and drinking together, life is not too good.
As for Mrs. Xue Wang and Baochai, they are either in the inn or on the boat. How do they know all these things outside?
What's more, seeing Jia Lian's undeniable prestige to the servants around him, Xue Pan learned a lesson and ordered the people around him not to go to grandma's side to complain and speak. He quickly experienced the beauty of this majestic master. What happened, it became more and more strict.
So Mrs. Xue and Baochai didn't know the specific situation of Xue Pan any more. Instead, they thought that under the influence of the niece/cousin-in-law of the Duke's mansion, their son/brother would become more and more successful.
So Aunt Xue bought a generous gift for Jia Lian to express her gratitude. Jia Lian accepted the unexpected windfall without blinking an eye after listening to Xue Pan's words of gratitude.
Because the tigress in the family was strict with her, Jia Lian should not be too tight on weekdays.
After this errand, Jia Lian finally tasted all kinds of good tastes of having money in his hands.
So he boldly hid a few coins from the money he brought back to the mansion, it tastes so good to fill his pockets!After returning to Beijing, life was really good.
After Xue's family went to Beijing, it was discovered that Wang Ziteng's family had left Beijing because of Wang Ziteng's job change, leaving only two families in the house to guard the house.
But the Xue family's old house has been in disrepair for a long time, and there is no way to live in it, so it's a dilemma.
After Jia Lian thought about it, he invited Xue's family back to the Duke's mansion. Everyone in Xue's family was naturally very grateful.
People in Jia's mansion were naturally very happy about the arrival of Xue's family, they welcomed Xue's family from top to bottom.
After Baoyu had Sister Bao, she immediately forgot to ask Lian's second brother about Sister Lin.
As for Jia's mother, after counting the money in a large box, she sighed for her poor granddaughter, and then asked whether Luo Chenyi was square or round, fat or thin, tall or short. Yes, cheaters are still smart.
Jia Lian answered the old lady's questions carefully and praised Luo Chenyi. Unfortunately, this was not what Jia's mother wanted to hear. For the son-in-law who broke his oath to find a wife for his granddaughter and gave up his precious jade, Jia Lian There has always been a heart disease in my mother's heart.
However, that was the matter of the Lin family, and even an old lady herself couldn't get involved in the Lin family's affairs.
Now that son-in-law Lin is gone, and most of the family property is in his own hands, Mother Jia's love for her granddaughter has gained the upper hand again, and she cried for her poor granddaughter, clutching her handkerchief.
No matter how much Jia Lian praised Luo Chenyi, in Jia Mu's heart, no matter how good he is, he is definitely not as good as her own Baoyu. Besides, Baoyu now has a sister who is a noble concubine, and the son-in-law has another How much capital compares with your own precious jade?
Jia Lian could see the old lady's displeasure, and after saying a few words, he stopped talking, and turned around to talk about the affairs between him and the Zhen family, except for the "confused" Jia Outside of politics, the head of the family is not here, but Jia Lian is used to it, and everyone in Jia's house is also used to it...
This secret meeting went on for nearly two hours before it ended.
With a confused look on his face, Jia Zheng patted his nephew on the shoulder vigorously, letting him rest for a few days before talking about other things.
The old lady also felt sorry for her grandson's travels along the way, and sent someone to pass on a message to the grandson's wife, asking Feng girl to be considerate of Lian'er for a few days, so as not to be exhausted again, her wife would not follow her.
Naturally, Wang Xifeng felt sorry for her husband, no, after questioning Lai Wang'er, and finding that he hadn't been doing anything wrong outside, she felt even more distressed.
After all, they were also childhood sweethearts, and now they are a young couple, so after the couple met, they naturally had a lot of trouble.
The two talked about all the details after the farewell, and Jia Lian also lamented all the difficulties in Jiangnan. The husband and wife felt the same and drank together.
Since then, the Xue family has lived in the Duke's mansion. Although Xue Pan was a little reluctant, but thinking about Lian's second elder brother who is like-minded, knowledgeable and interesting, and coupled with his mother's life and sister's ambition, Xue Pan had to make up for it. Let his identity as the head of the family borrow to live in a relative's house.
But since then, for Xue Pan, it has opened the door to another world!
Jia's mansion, no matter it is the family history or the descendants of the clan, compared with the people in Jinling, this place is simply heaven!
Xue Pan is like a fish in water, ten times worse than before.
Mrs. Xue and Baochai thought that their son/elder brother had benefited more from Jia's clan study!
I have to say, this is a very beautiful misunderstanding.
And in the future, Baochai made a big joke by comparing her elder brother with the Lin family's son-in-law, which made Baochai lose face.
But that's for later.
After Lin Ruhai's [-] days, Daiyu and his wife finally lived a peaceful life, and Luo Chenyi also gradually started interacting with scholars. He has been silent for so long, it's time for him to come out and do some activities.
Luo Chenyi has always felt that his heart is strong and he can be fearless!
So after the whole essay meeting, he remained calm most of the time when others had something to talk to him, and he didn't refuse. If others disliked and despised him, he also kept his demeanor and just laughed it off.
And wait for the future!
It's not that I'm such a magnanimous person, it's just that if I want to deal with these people now, the effort and gain are not directly proportional.
So he endured it for the time being, remembering the mocking faces.
Daiyu was also worried that her husband would be wronged outside, but in her position, some things were hard to say, so she could only make people secretly pay attention.
However, Luo Chenyi behaved very calmly, and did not let Daiyu see anything wrong, he was still chatting and laughing happily, and was still warm and warm.
Such a talent makes people feel chills, how old is it, so forbearing, without any fluctuations in emotion, it is really terrifying.
Many people think that Luo Chenyi is scary, and of course many people also think that this is a good friend, so Luo Chenyi made friends with a few people he thought he could make friends with.
To get along with people is the most important thing to know, once Luo Chenyi decides on someone, he will really go out of his way.Of course, the person who can interact with him will naturally not be too hateful.
Luo Chenyi gradually had a few people to associate with in Gusu City. These people are either indifferent to fame and wealth, or vowed to roll in the world of mortals. They are simply two extremes, but Luo Chenyi just talked and laughed happily with these people, which is also a strange thing. pieces.
As for Daiyu, she was busy with the affairs outside the inner house, so she didn't have much free time at all. Luo Chenyi could have something to do, and could find his friends and acquaintances. Daiyu was happy for her husband in every way.
After Daiyu is free, the couple will also go out for a walk to relax, look at famous temples and temples, and listen to the morning bells and evening drums, which can calm people down, get edified and sublimated.
With these external contacts, Daiyu naturally has to be contaminated with the world of mortals, her temperament is still aloof, but she has learned to cover it up.
This is very good, the secular world does not tolerate people who are too different from it, so hermits can't stay in the downtown area, they can only go back to the mountains and rivers to hide themselves, otherwise, their own character, edges and corners can only be affected by this The society grinds down and becomes a member of the secular world.
Today's Daiyu thinks of the old boudoir years, suddenly feels like a dream.
It is said that there is no time in the mountains. Once people get busy, time passes very quickly. In the blink of an eye, Lin Ruhai's anniversary festival will arrive.
Although it is still sad, but the heartbreaking pain will no longer appear.
Daiyu felt that she could calmly face the life her father had left, her parents were reunited, and she had a home, and her life would get better and better in the future, so be it!
"So, do you want to go to Beijing?"
"Actually, we have to go to Beijing, don't we?"
Daiyu listened to her husband's words and asked back.
"Yes, it's best to go to Beijing, but it's not impossible to stay here, it's just a little harder."
"In that case, let's leave here and go to Beijing."
Daiyu sighed and said to her husband.
"Okay, let's send the second housekeeper to Beijing to repair the house first. It's actually good for us to go to Beijing, at least we can see my sister in the capital in the future!"
After Lin Ruhai passed away, Luo Chenyi sent someone to send Luo Wanhui to his aunt in the capital.
Although there is correspondence between each other, it has been two years since they saw each other.
Daiyu always thought about her sister-in-law in her heart. She had tasted the life of being dependent on others, so she was also afraid that her sister-in-law would be wronged by her aunt.Although the eldest aunt sounds kind, she is not as comfortable as at home.
Besides, she could also see the occasional missing from her husband.
Furthermore, although Daiyu was sad and disappointed by her grandmother's actions, the sisters were all good.
So today Daiyu took Luo Chenyi to recall her past years together, it was full of happy memories, it seemed that those slightly faded memories were full of sweetness.
Of course, that phoenix egg from the Jia family is indispensable, even though he knew that his wife had no personal relationship with that Baoyu, Luo Chenyi still felt extremely uncomfortable.
Although his heart was sore, Luo Chenyi did a good job of covering it up, and Daiyu was also in high spirits, so he didn't notice any difference in her husband's expression.
On the second day, Daiyu and his wife, who recalled the past in the middle of the night, naturally got up late. Fortunately, there were no elders at home, and there were only two young couples, and there was no one to criticize.
Even so, Daiyu was a little embarrassed by the jokes in everyone's eyes.
Luo Chenyi's face is very thick, they can't do anything even if they lie together now, it's just that they got up late, modern people sleep until noon, so it's not surprising things.
His magnanimous appearance made everyone find it boring.
The days passed day after day, and since it was time to go to Beijing, it was time to prepare in every way.
The second housekeeper is the son of Lin Jiadong, and he will take over the position of the chief housekeeper in the future. Sending him to Beijing is the best candidate, and when Lin Ruhai was alive, he was sent to Beijing to pick up his daughter. familiar.
The second housekeeper, Lin Zhong'an, was not displeased with the appointment of the young lady and uncle, on the contrary, he was very happy. The master valued it, and it was his honor.
Lin Zhongan went to Beijing day and night with his elite soldiers and generals. Besides, there were palace servants in the mansion in the middle of the capital, so he was not afraid that no one would use it.
The people who stayed behind began to pack up the small and big items at home, and prepared for going to Beijing in an orderly manner.
Of course, along with the second housekeeper, there was also a letter written by Daiyu, which was sent to the Jia family in Beijing. It can't be done.
Besides, I am the princess personally appointed by the emperor, so I can't be rude.
After Jiamu received Daiyu's letter, she was lamented and joyful again, with various ups and downs.
Although the son-in-law's repentance made Jia's mother extremely unhappy, but Daiyu was the only flesh and blood left by her daughter, how could she not feel pain?
Besides, although Daiyu is now in charge, how can she not understand Yu'er's temperament?He is the most lonely and arrogant, and doesn't pay attention to those yellow and white things. The son-in-law seems to be not a fuel-efficient lamp after listening to Lian'er's words. , and then back to the Luo family, what should my poor Yu'er do?
At that time, I am afraid that my Yu'er will only have a dead end!
At this moment, Jia's mother had selectively forgotten the box of money that Jia Lian brought back.
Now it's all right, Yu'er has to be made the county lord, and her family goes to Beijing again, and when she returns to Beijing, she will stay under her nose, the son-in-law will also be afraid of Jia's house, it won't be too much!
Besides, Mother Jia also has something on her mind.
Grandma Rong of the Eastern Mansion passed away, and her precious granddaughter became a concubine. His Majesty also bestowed the immortal Long En, and allowed Jiaofang to visit relatives.
But this huge Duke's mansion is basically empty shelf. Even though she has not been in charge of things these few years, she knows better than anyone else the expenses and expenditures in the mansion, so now the mansion is exhausted. It's just food.
But Mother Jia is just pretending to be deaf and dumb. After all, the children and grandchildren have their own blessings. For many things, if the children and grandchildren do not make progress, so what if they are old and obtuse?As she gets older, she feels less sleepy, and the food doesn't taste good anymore. She really doesn't bother to worry about what's going on.
After all, this country's government will not let the old lady of her age owe her debts. As long as her precious jade is in good condition, Jia's mother can turn a blind eye to everything, and let the old lady take care of herself. Let the children and grandchildren toss.
The eldest son doesn't make progress, the second son is too upright and doesn't know how to be flexible. As for the younger generation, although Lian'er is a bit flexible, she doesn't have any other skills, so who else can she count on?
Besides Baoyu, who has behaved differently since she was a child and is now extraordinary, who else can she count on?
No one can understand Jiamu's thoughts, they are all jealous, and feel that they are partial to Baoyu, but she will be more happy than anyone else if their descendants make a little progress.
Jia's mother thought of the Xue family who lived in the mansion, and thought of the cautious thoughts revealed by her daughter-in-law Wang the day before yesterday. The family is just a businessman. Apart from the money, what kind of support can Baoyu give?
Wang Shi was not happy with her precious Yu'er before, but now her candidate is a girl from the Xue family, now it is time for Mother Jia to despise and despise her.
What's more, the girl from Xue's family has a hundred thousand eyes, a dignified and preaching attitude, and doesn't look at her own identity. The girl in the Duke's mansion can be taught and preached by her, a merchant girl!
Jia Mu closed the door and pondered, after thinking for a while, she lightly ordered to Yuanyang, "Tomorrow, someone will bring Miss Shi over here, and let her relax at home for a few days..."
"Slave, go here!"
Yuanyang didn't understand why the old lady read Miss Lin's letter, but she remembered that she wanted to borrow Miss Shi, but Yuanyang didn't think about things that couldn't be figured out. After all, the old lady is not a servant girl Can fathom.
Hearing what Lianer said, Concubine Wu's father had already found a suitable land in the suburbs, and after thinking about the repeated price increases of the vegetation and antique land in Beijing, Jia's mother continued to read her granddaughter's letter, revealing a faint smile. smile.
Rather than making it cheaper for outsiders, it's better...
After all, the relationship between Yu'er and Baoyu is extraordinary, so if you help her cousin, Yu'er will also have someone to support her in the future. She is not afraid of that son-in-law, and Yu'er can only be grateful to herself!
After Jia's mother finished reading the letter, she briefly browsed through the gift list. Looking at such a comprehensive and careful gift list, she felt emotional again, her Yu'er had really grown up.
After Lin Zhong'an's family delivered the letter and gift list to Jia's mansion, they were not allowed to leave immediately, but instead drank cup after cup of tea in the mansion, waiting for the old lady to receive them.
Listening to the old lady beating around the bush and asking about his uncle's temperament, Lin Zhongan's family lowered their heads and curled their lips. Even though he can't see whether this uncle is good or bad, at least it was chosen by the old man when he was alive. As the ancestor of the Jia family, she believed in her master's vision even more.
However, Lin Zhongan's family answered all the old lady's questions. She was just a servant about the master's affairs. How could she know so clearly? When she was impatient, she asked a doctor and made tonic for the girl. She only thought that my uncle was a good one.
As a woman, who doesn't want her husband to be considerate and caring?
After all, when the master was alive, my son-in-law might show him a play, but what about now?Even if the uncle is acting, there is really no need to do it for this sake. These servants also have eyes, so naturally they can tell the truth from the fake.
The girl's body is getting healthier day by day, although she still looks like a weak willow, but her complexion is ruddy, and it can be seen that my uncle has worked hard in the past few years.
Therefore, although Lin Zhongan's family did not praise the uncle too much in words, she felt that the pertinent words were harsh in Jiamu's ears, and through these things, she deepened her understanding of the son-in-law.
Sure enough, he is a deep-minded one, and it seems that the servants of the Lin family are not bribed by that son-in-law.
I just hope that my Yu'er is still vigilant, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Of course, if the son-in-law could live a good life with her Yu'er, she would accept it, but such a man with evil intentions and deep thoughts immediately made Jia's mother feel bored without seeing him.
Fortunately, Yu'er is going to Beijing, under his nose, he can't blatantly bully his own Yu'er, right?
After listening to Lin Zhong'an's words, Mother Jia slowly closed her eyes and made a decision!
Lin Zhongan's family held the high-class seal from Jia's mansion in their hands, curled their lips, left Jia's mansion, and went back to the county lord's mansion...
After the Lin family's property was jointly calculated by the Zhen family and Jia's family last time, there are not many left, and Daiyu is reluctant to sell all of them, after all, many of them were purchased by the ancestors.
Luo Chenyi didn't care about this, he listened to Daiyu's handling of everything, he just stood by to help her and protect her well.
This time when they go to Beijing, they are afraid that they will not return to Gusu in a short time, so Daiyu plans to pack up everything that can be taken away. The next few rooms are guarded by loyal family members who do not want to go to Beijing.
The Zhen family also attaches great importance to such a reputation. After all, this is a very good thing. Who would think that their reputation is too good?From time to time, they will give away porridge and donate noodles, and donate to monks to help Taoists. Anyway, in this Jiangnan, everyone knows that their family's generosity can do anything. Whenever someone's family has difficulties, everyone will ask for help from the Zhen family. Eight or nine out of ten of these can be satisfied!
Therefore, he has become more and more sought after by those small people who are trying to gain money, and he looks like he is at the height of the sky.
Jia Lian listened to these people's compliments on the Zhen family, and felt extremely envious. He thought about it again, now they also have a concubine in the Jia family, and when he thought about the glorious days of Princess Zhen Gui and King Zhongshun, Jia Lian thought about it again. If a dragon son is born in the morning, the Zhen family today will be the Jia family tomorrow!
In Jia Lian's mind, the majesty of the uncle of the country, the relatives of the emperor and the relatives of the country, showed his coveted color.
No matter what, I have to do the things the old lady ordered properly. Besides, the family is also charitable, but it is only temporarily borrowed. When the days are more abundant in the future, it will naturally be repaid, at least better than greedy people. Are the Lin family members much better off?
Now the family is just unable to make ends meet, so they just borrowed the Lin family's wealth, and waited for a few years, when the Jia family turned around, could they still forget about sister Lin and brother-in-law Lin?
Sure enough, with the support of the eldest sister in the palace, brother-in-law Lin wants to be an official, and has the contacts of the Jia family to pave the way. Isn't it easy to get promoted and get rich?
So Jia Lian was not ashamed at all of what he had done, and even felt complacent that he had solved a problem for brother-in-law Lin.
Jia Lian sent someone to Zhen's house to send a letter of greeting from the Duke's Mansion, and Zhen Yingjia indeed met Jia Lian with the attitude of a family friend. After reading the master's letter, Zhen Yingjia nodded to show that she understood.
But there are some things, you can't be too blatant!Now my younger brother Zhen Yingrong is the censor of Yanyan, so what should be avoided is to avoid suspicion, and Jia Lian is also very clear about this.Anyway, he can be regarded as someone who has experienced the world, not a fledgling kid.
In the end, I don't know what the two whispered in the study, anyway, both the host and the guest are smiling, with a tacit understanding.
Jia Lian reappeared in the Gusu Lin Mansion, Luo Chenyi and Daiyu were still in the attitude of being soft and hard, they appreciated Lian's second brother's kindness, and now they are still staying in Gusu for the time being, and waiting for the filial piety of the master After passing, they will naturally go to Beijing.
Jia Lian persuaded and persuaded, but unfortunately, the couple who didn't like oil and salt succeeded in exhausting Jia Lian's patience!But in the inner house, Daiyu has disappeared the azalea.
Zijuan, after all, I misjudged her!
Since then, the friendship between master and servant has been cut off for many years. She is really a maid of Jia's house, she is devoted to the master's family, and she listened to the master's order to plot against her half-way master. In fact, it can be said.
If so, Daiyu is also very sad, and dinner is useless.
Luo Chenyi didn't force her either, just don't eat if you don't want to eat, so as to save indigestion and waste of food.
Jia Lian, who had run out of patience, finally made up his mind, and then directed Lai Wanger to go out with his jade pendant and the official seal.
Lai Wang'er went to the biggest inn in Gusu City, met a middle-aged man who looked like a manager, the two of them muttered for a while, and then Wang'er came back in a low-key manner...
Jia Lian's master and servant thought that they acted secretly and thoughtfully, but they didn't know that someone was watching Jia Lian's master and servant's every move without blinking!
"Girl, uncle, what should we do now?"
Although Lin Jiadong was angry, he didn't lose his composure too much. He accompanied his old master who passed away through ups and downs for decades, and he didn't take this idea very seriously, but it wasn't himself who should make up his mind, but Two little masters.
Now that the master has passed away, the Lin family has lost its asylum, and the master is still young, this is a mouthful of fat, an immature boy holding gold bricks in the downtown area, and he can't be annoyed that others want to swallow the Lin family, but no one thought that the first One of the strikers would be the relatives of the Jia family, and they even joined forces with the outsider Zhen's family!
The current Zhen family is in full swing, can they compete with the Zhen family?
Lin Jiadong expressed doubts about this!He has experienced the officialdom, and the people do not fight with the officials, so he is a hero who knows what is the most current affairs!
So now he wants to know how the two little masters should deal with it.
"Housekeeper, my husband and I have discussed this matter a long time ago. It's human nature to live in a cold world after my father passed away. It's also reasonable for people in official circles to drink tea, so the Zhen family wants a shop and the Lin family's property. That's fine. Sell it to them, we have floating wealth, and then we can buy property!"
Lin Jiadong's decision on the girl was also unexpected, but looking at the calm-faced son-in-law, he immediately felt that he had come to the truth.At the beginning, the master chose this person, but it was not just because the Luo family was willing.What the master valued was my son's means and ability, and what the master valued was the changes of today.
"Okay, I'll listen to the girl, but what if the Zhen family suppresses the price too hard?"
"The harder the better, we'll sell it at whatever price they offer! The more you swallow today, the more you'll spit it out in the future."
Luo Chenyi added with a smile on the side.
"This……"
Lin Jiadong looked at the girl suspiciously,
"Well, listen to my uncle, what he said is what I mean! Don't worry, butler, I will not let Lin Jiabai suffer!"
Daiyu nodded and said.Although she didn't care about these vulgar things, they were accumulated by the Lin family's ancestors and left to her by her father, so how could she give up because she didn't like it?
The Zhen family, what a Zhen family!The Jia family, don't mention it...
Now that the masters have said this, Lin Jiadong has less worries. Most of the Lin family's property is actually the price of cabbage, and it is dealt with like the price of jumping from a building, which also arouses everyone's discussion.
The Zhen family and Jia Lian were beaming, they just got a big deal.
All parties who secretly followed this matter shook their heads, "It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be!"
Luo Wenyuan, who was far away in Jinling, even wrote a letter to reprimand the eldest son, such a good thing, you don't think about the family?
Bringing such lucrative shops and properties back to the Luo family is better than taking advantage of outsiders, isn't it?Besides, do you still have younger siblings who are not married?Could it be that your brother and sister are really going to kill themselves and the family in the future?
I don't even think about it, if I really don't have my own father, who would want to marry Luo Wanhui, who is not close to me!
Seeing this, Luo Chenyi felt that it was absolutely right for him to take his younger sister away from the family. It would be better to have such a father than not to have one.
Of course, Luo Wenyuan's long-term follower came together with the letter. Luo Chenyi naturally understood what his plan was. After sneering twice, Luo Wenyuan spread his hands like a scholarly son, expressing that he didn't understand common affairs , these things are handled by Lin Jiadong, the big housekeeper of the Lin family, so if you have any matters, you should go to the big housekeeper to discuss!
Lin Jiadong had received his aunt's order early on, and happily sold them to the Luo family's second-bedroom shop, but they were all glamorous and glamorous, but not useful.
Lin Jiadong didn't show any strange expression about my uncle's deception. There are some things that the girl doesn't know, but he, the big housekeeper, knows it all.
The Lin family's young couple sold most of the family's profitable property. Anyway, who is not selling?So the new patriarch of the Lin family discussed with the elders, and then came to cry poorly with a shy face.
Luo Chenyi's status was embarrassing. Although he was in charge of receiving these relatives and clansmen, he kept silent all the time and didn't speak. On the contrary, Lin Jiadong just pointed his nose and scolded his mother. At the beginning, the old man tried his best for the clansmen. If it was really too much, his girl would still have the title of county head.
A group of old and handsome people were pointed at their noses and scolded by a servant, but what they said was the truth, so the faces of the young and old in the Lin family were really good-looking.
Ever since Luo Chenyi discovered that as long as he acted like a scholarly (dai) son, these people would not bother him, he specially adjusted his personality recently, and started to be more and more dull.
His embarrassing status can escape these tedious matters, but as the mistress of the Lin family, Daiyu has no way to evade!
Facing a room full of older and senior wives and grandmas than herself, Daiyu felt helpless.At the same time, I am also thankful for my father's original decision, fortunately, the clan has been divided, otherwise, these people are afraid that they will eat themselves alive!
These are the people who are confident, aggressive, and shameless.
In the end, Nanny Chen stood up and directly blasted the female relatives out with a cold face!
"It's time for the county master to rest, wives and grandmas, please come back another day!"
Although those people were thick-skinned and lacked advance and retreat, they were reprimanded face-to-face by their servants, and their faces turned blue and purple for a while.
Fortunately, a little maid came in to rescue the siege, and the master in front was going home too.
So these wives and grandmas hastily changed their households to be served by maids and women, put on coats, tidied up their appearance, and went out.
Although Daiyu is the head of the county, she still sends them all to the second gate.
Luo Chenyi also finished his task of accompanying guests in the vase, and returned to the inner house. The husband and wife looked at each other, and they both saw a bit of fatigue in each other's eyes.
At dinner time, Du Juan and Shao Yao, who were tidying up the house, said that several pieces of plain silver jewelry of Daiyu were missing, two white jade rings were missing, and even a root-carved pen holder on the desk was missing.
The husband and wife looked at each other in blank dismay!
This, this is just like locusts crossing the border, and it really makes people don't know what to say.
"In the future, there will be female relatives visiting, so please don't miss them if you can. Otherwise, don't meet guests here, and go to the flower hall to sit for a while!"
Luo Chenyi held his wife's hand and comforted him.
Daiyu nodded, that's all she could do.
But soon these female relatives will not bother her anymore.
Because the Lin family's shop industry and the like have almost been dealt with.
……
At the same time, not only Daiyu and his wife breathed a sigh of relief, but also Jia Lian, the Zhen family, the Lin family, and even Luo Wenyuan's long-term follower.
Speaking of which, the Lin family is really a huge property. It's a pity that Lin Ruhai is also pitiful. He sacrificed his life for the country, and now his daughter and son-in-law can't even keep the family business.
Anyway, in Jiangnan, there are many people who sympathize with the Lin family and the county magistrate Jingxiao.
At this moment in Beijing, after seeing what the Zhen family did in the secret report, the emperor felt his face swell and hurt a little.
The emperor, however, was much happier. To be precise, it should be gloating!
Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai, take a look, this is the master you are loyal to, and it is the Zhen family who bullies your children...
Dai Quan beside the emperor wanted to cover his ears.
Your Majesty, are you really okay?
Lin Ruhai's [-]-day filial piety, and Daiyu and his wife officiated the funeral, which was considered to have completely ended the funeral. In the future, there will be no need to be so cumbersome, and only the anniversary ceremony will be held for three years.
Thinking of her father's voice and smile, and thinking of his hard work, Daiyu burst into tears!
Today, there is an eternal separation between man and man, and he will never see his father again.
Luo Chenyi didn't dissuade her, and let Daiyu vent her sadness, saving her from being depressed and hurting her body again...
"Sister Lin, brother-in-law Lin, I'm going back to Beijing today, but is it true that I won't go to Beijing with my second elder brother? The eldest sister in the house has already been concubine. I can't delay any longer..."
After Jia Lian's purse was full, he said to Daiyu and his wife in a complacent manner.
"Trouble second cousin, wait for me to congratulate the old lady, uncle, and aunt after entering Beijing! I am in the filial piety now, but it is inconvenient to come to the door. Let's wait for the future, the days are still long!"
Daiyu said lightly.
"Okay, if Sister Lin wants to go to Beijing in the future, Wanqian will send someone here. No one dares to tell her, but Second Brother will come to pick her up in person!"
"Thank you, Second Brother, for your kindness!"
After Fu said a few words that were neither salty nor dull, Jia Lian took Lai Wang'er and set off.
Going north directly from Gusu, but on the way, they met the Xue family who were going north. They knew each other immediately, and they were relatives, so they formed a team and went north together.
Jia Lian and Xue Pan hit it off and became good brothers who talked about everything.
Xue Pan admired Jia Lian in all kinds of ways. My cousin's husband was indeed from the Duke's mansion and the younger brother of a noble concubine. He had seen big scenes before. If he could really see those big scenes with Lian's second brother, he would be It's worth dying right now.
As for Jia Lian, he found a sense of superiority in front of Xue Pan. Although he is an imperial merchant, he is just a bumpkin who has never seen the world, but this Xue family is also a millionaire. The relationship between them became more and more harmonious.
What is the so-called friendship between men, going through windows together, carrying guns together, climbing over walls together, and sharing stolen goods together;Jia Lian and Xue Pan experienced it one by one, prostitution, prostitution, and drinking together, life is not too good.
As for Mrs. Xue Wang and Baochai, they are either in the inn or on the boat. How do they know all these things outside?
What's more, seeing Jia Lian's undeniable prestige to the servants around him, Xue Pan learned a lesson and ordered the people around him not to go to grandma's side to complain and speak. He quickly experienced the beauty of this majestic master. What happened, it became more and more strict.
So Mrs. Xue and Baochai didn't know the specific situation of Xue Pan any more. Instead, they thought that under the influence of the niece/cousin-in-law of the Duke's mansion, their son/brother would become more and more successful.
So Aunt Xue bought a generous gift for Jia Lian to express her gratitude. Jia Lian accepted the unexpected windfall without blinking an eye after listening to Xue Pan's words of gratitude.
Because the tigress in the family was strict with her, Jia Lian should not be too tight on weekdays.
After this errand, Jia Lian finally tasted all kinds of good tastes of having money in his hands.
So he boldly hid a few coins from the money he brought back to the mansion, it tastes so good to fill his pockets!After returning to Beijing, life was really good.
After Xue's family went to Beijing, it was discovered that Wang Ziteng's family had left Beijing because of Wang Ziteng's job change, leaving only two families in the house to guard the house.
But the Xue family's old house has been in disrepair for a long time, and there is no way to live in it, so it's a dilemma.
After Jia Lian thought about it, he invited Xue's family back to the Duke's mansion. Everyone in Xue's family was naturally very grateful.
People in Jia's mansion were naturally very happy about the arrival of Xue's family, they welcomed Xue's family from top to bottom.
After Baoyu had Sister Bao, she immediately forgot to ask Lian's second brother about Sister Lin.
As for Jia's mother, after counting the money in a large box, she sighed for her poor granddaughter, and then asked whether Luo Chenyi was square or round, fat or thin, tall or short. Yes, cheaters are still smart.
Jia Lian answered the old lady's questions carefully and praised Luo Chenyi. Unfortunately, this was not what Jia's mother wanted to hear. For the son-in-law who broke his oath to find a wife for his granddaughter and gave up his precious jade, Jia Lian There has always been a heart disease in my mother's heart.
However, that was the matter of the Lin family, and even an old lady herself couldn't get involved in the Lin family's affairs.
Now that son-in-law Lin is gone, and most of the family property is in his own hands, Mother Jia's love for her granddaughter has gained the upper hand again, and she cried for her poor granddaughter, clutching her handkerchief.
No matter how much Jia Lian praised Luo Chenyi, in Jia Mu's heart, no matter how good he is, he is definitely not as good as her own Baoyu. Besides, Baoyu now has a sister who is a noble concubine, and the son-in-law has another How much capital compares with your own precious jade?
Jia Lian could see the old lady's displeasure, and after saying a few words, he stopped talking, and turned around to talk about the affairs between him and the Zhen family, except for the "confused" Jia Outside of politics, the head of the family is not here, but Jia Lian is used to it, and everyone in Jia's house is also used to it...
This secret meeting went on for nearly two hours before it ended.
With a confused look on his face, Jia Zheng patted his nephew on the shoulder vigorously, letting him rest for a few days before talking about other things.
The old lady also felt sorry for her grandson's travels along the way, and sent someone to pass on a message to the grandson's wife, asking Feng girl to be considerate of Lian'er for a few days, so as not to be exhausted again, her wife would not follow her.
Naturally, Wang Xifeng felt sorry for her husband, no, after questioning Lai Wang'er, and finding that he hadn't been doing anything wrong outside, she felt even more distressed.
After all, they were also childhood sweethearts, and now they are a young couple, so after the couple met, they naturally had a lot of trouble.
The two talked about all the details after the farewell, and Jia Lian also lamented all the difficulties in Jiangnan. The husband and wife felt the same and drank together.
Since then, the Xue family has lived in the Duke's mansion. Although Xue Pan was a little reluctant, but thinking about Lian's second elder brother who is like-minded, knowledgeable and interesting, and coupled with his mother's life and sister's ambition, Xue Pan had to make up for it. Let his identity as the head of the family borrow to live in a relative's house.
But since then, for Xue Pan, it has opened the door to another world!
Jia's mansion, no matter it is the family history or the descendants of the clan, compared with the people in Jinling, this place is simply heaven!
Xue Pan is like a fish in water, ten times worse than before.
Mrs. Xue and Baochai thought that their son/elder brother had benefited more from Jia's clan study!
I have to say, this is a very beautiful misunderstanding.
And in the future, Baochai made a big joke by comparing her elder brother with the Lin family's son-in-law, which made Baochai lose face.
But that's for later.
After Lin Ruhai's [-] days, Daiyu and his wife finally lived a peaceful life, and Luo Chenyi also gradually started interacting with scholars. He has been silent for so long, it's time for him to come out and do some activities.
Luo Chenyi has always felt that his heart is strong and he can be fearless!
So after the whole essay meeting, he remained calm most of the time when others had something to talk to him, and he didn't refuse. If others disliked and despised him, he also kept his demeanor and just laughed it off.
And wait for the future!
It's not that I'm such a magnanimous person, it's just that if I want to deal with these people now, the effort and gain are not directly proportional.
So he endured it for the time being, remembering the mocking faces.
Daiyu was also worried that her husband would be wronged outside, but in her position, some things were hard to say, so she could only make people secretly pay attention.
However, Luo Chenyi behaved very calmly, and did not let Daiyu see anything wrong, he was still chatting and laughing happily, and was still warm and warm.
Such a talent makes people feel chills, how old is it, so forbearing, without any fluctuations in emotion, it is really terrifying.
Many people think that Luo Chenyi is scary, and of course many people also think that this is a good friend, so Luo Chenyi made friends with a few people he thought he could make friends with.
To get along with people is the most important thing to know, once Luo Chenyi decides on someone, he will really go out of his way.Of course, the person who can interact with him will naturally not be too hateful.
Luo Chenyi gradually had a few people to associate with in Gusu City. These people are either indifferent to fame and wealth, or vowed to roll in the world of mortals. They are simply two extremes, but Luo Chenyi just talked and laughed happily with these people, which is also a strange thing. pieces.
As for Daiyu, she was busy with the affairs outside the inner house, so she didn't have much free time at all. Luo Chenyi could have something to do, and could find his friends and acquaintances. Daiyu was happy for her husband in every way.
After Daiyu is free, the couple will also go out for a walk to relax, look at famous temples and temples, and listen to the morning bells and evening drums, which can calm people down, get edified and sublimated.
With these external contacts, Daiyu naturally has to be contaminated with the world of mortals, her temperament is still aloof, but she has learned to cover it up.
This is very good, the secular world does not tolerate people who are too different from it, so hermits can't stay in the downtown area, they can only go back to the mountains and rivers to hide themselves, otherwise, their own character, edges and corners can only be affected by this The society grinds down and becomes a member of the secular world.
Today's Daiyu thinks of the old boudoir years, suddenly feels like a dream.
It is said that there is no time in the mountains. Once people get busy, time passes very quickly. In the blink of an eye, Lin Ruhai's anniversary festival will arrive.
Although it is still sad, but the heartbreaking pain will no longer appear.
Daiyu felt that she could calmly face the life her father had left, her parents were reunited, and she had a home, and her life would get better and better in the future, so be it!
"So, do you want to go to Beijing?"
"Actually, we have to go to Beijing, don't we?"
Daiyu listened to her husband's words and asked back.
"Yes, it's best to go to Beijing, but it's not impossible to stay here, it's just a little harder."
"In that case, let's leave here and go to Beijing."
Daiyu sighed and said to her husband.
"Okay, let's send the second housekeeper to Beijing to repair the house first. It's actually good for us to go to Beijing, at least we can see my sister in the capital in the future!"
After Lin Ruhai passed away, Luo Chenyi sent someone to send Luo Wanhui to his aunt in the capital.
Although there is correspondence between each other, it has been two years since they saw each other.
Daiyu always thought about her sister-in-law in her heart. She had tasted the life of being dependent on others, so she was also afraid that her sister-in-law would be wronged by her aunt.Although the eldest aunt sounds kind, she is not as comfortable as at home.
Besides, she could also see the occasional missing from her husband.
Furthermore, although Daiyu was sad and disappointed by her grandmother's actions, the sisters were all good.
So today Daiyu took Luo Chenyi to recall her past years together, it was full of happy memories, it seemed that those slightly faded memories were full of sweetness.
Of course, that phoenix egg from the Jia family is indispensable, even though he knew that his wife had no personal relationship with that Baoyu, Luo Chenyi still felt extremely uncomfortable.
Although his heart was sore, Luo Chenyi did a good job of covering it up, and Daiyu was also in high spirits, so he didn't notice any difference in her husband's expression.
On the second day, Daiyu and his wife, who recalled the past in the middle of the night, naturally got up late. Fortunately, there were no elders at home, and there were only two young couples, and there was no one to criticize.
Even so, Daiyu was a little embarrassed by the jokes in everyone's eyes.
Luo Chenyi's face is very thick, they can't do anything even if they lie together now, it's just that they got up late, modern people sleep until noon, so it's not surprising things.
His magnanimous appearance made everyone find it boring.
The days passed day after day, and since it was time to go to Beijing, it was time to prepare in every way.
The second housekeeper is the son of Lin Jiadong, and he will take over the position of the chief housekeeper in the future. Sending him to Beijing is the best candidate, and when Lin Ruhai was alive, he was sent to Beijing to pick up his daughter. familiar.
The second housekeeper, Lin Zhong'an, was not displeased with the appointment of the young lady and uncle, on the contrary, he was very happy. The master valued it, and it was his honor.
Lin Zhongan went to Beijing day and night with his elite soldiers and generals. Besides, there were palace servants in the mansion in the middle of the capital, so he was not afraid that no one would use it.
The people who stayed behind began to pack up the small and big items at home, and prepared for going to Beijing in an orderly manner.
Of course, along with the second housekeeper, there was also a letter written by Daiyu, which was sent to the Jia family in Beijing. It can't be done.
Besides, I am the princess personally appointed by the emperor, so I can't be rude.
After Jiamu received Daiyu's letter, she was lamented and joyful again, with various ups and downs.
Although the son-in-law's repentance made Jia's mother extremely unhappy, but Daiyu was the only flesh and blood left by her daughter, how could she not feel pain?
Besides, although Daiyu is now in charge, how can she not understand Yu'er's temperament?He is the most lonely and arrogant, and doesn't pay attention to those yellow and white things. The son-in-law seems to be not a fuel-efficient lamp after listening to Lian'er's words. , and then back to the Luo family, what should my poor Yu'er do?
At that time, I am afraid that my Yu'er will only have a dead end!
At this moment, Jia's mother had selectively forgotten the box of money that Jia Lian brought back.
Now it's all right, Yu'er has to be made the county lord, and her family goes to Beijing again, and when she returns to Beijing, she will stay under her nose, the son-in-law will also be afraid of Jia's house, it won't be too much!
Besides, Mother Jia also has something on her mind.
Grandma Rong of the Eastern Mansion passed away, and her precious granddaughter became a concubine. His Majesty also bestowed the immortal Long En, and allowed Jiaofang to visit relatives.
But this huge Duke's mansion is basically empty shelf. Even though she has not been in charge of things these few years, she knows better than anyone else the expenses and expenditures in the mansion, so now the mansion is exhausted. It's just food.
But Mother Jia is just pretending to be deaf and dumb. After all, the children and grandchildren have their own blessings. For many things, if the children and grandchildren do not make progress, so what if they are old and obtuse?As she gets older, she feels less sleepy, and the food doesn't taste good anymore. She really doesn't bother to worry about what's going on.
After all, this country's government will not let the old lady of her age owe her debts. As long as her precious jade is in good condition, Jia's mother can turn a blind eye to everything, and let the old lady take care of herself. Let the children and grandchildren toss.
The eldest son doesn't make progress, the second son is too upright and doesn't know how to be flexible. As for the younger generation, although Lian'er is a bit flexible, she doesn't have any other skills, so who else can she count on?
Besides Baoyu, who has behaved differently since she was a child and is now extraordinary, who else can she count on?
No one can understand Jiamu's thoughts, they are all jealous, and feel that they are partial to Baoyu, but she will be more happy than anyone else if their descendants make a little progress.
Jia's mother thought of the Xue family who lived in the mansion, and thought of the cautious thoughts revealed by her daughter-in-law Wang the day before yesterday. The family is just a businessman. Apart from the money, what kind of support can Baoyu give?
Wang Shi was not happy with her precious Yu'er before, but now her candidate is a girl from the Xue family, now it is time for Mother Jia to despise and despise her.
What's more, the girl from Xue's family has a hundred thousand eyes, a dignified and preaching attitude, and doesn't look at her own identity. The girl in the Duke's mansion can be taught and preached by her, a merchant girl!
Jia Mu closed the door and pondered, after thinking for a while, she lightly ordered to Yuanyang, "Tomorrow, someone will bring Miss Shi over here, and let her relax at home for a few days..."
"Slave, go here!"
Yuanyang didn't understand why the old lady read Miss Lin's letter, but she remembered that she wanted to borrow Miss Shi, but Yuanyang didn't think about things that couldn't be figured out. After all, the old lady is not a servant girl Can fathom.
Hearing what Lianer said, Concubine Wu's father had already found a suitable land in the suburbs, and after thinking about the repeated price increases of the vegetation and antique land in Beijing, Jia's mother continued to read her granddaughter's letter, revealing a faint smile. smile.
Rather than making it cheaper for outsiders, it's better...
After all, the relationship between Yu'er and Baoyu is extraordinary, so if you help her cousin, Yu'er will also have someone to support her in the future. She is not afraid of that son-in-law, and Yu'er can only be grateful to herself!
After Jia's mother finished reading the letter, she briefly browsed through the gift list. Looking at such a comprehensive and careful gift list, she felt emotional again, her Yu'er had really grown up.
After Lin Zhong'an's family delivered the letter and gift list to Jia's mansion, they were not allowed to leave immediately, but instead drank cup after cup of tea in the mansion, waiting for the old lady to receive them.
Listening to the old lady beating around the bush and asking about his uncle's temperament, Lin Zhongan's family lowered their heads and curled their lips. Even though he can't see whether this uncle is good or bad, at least it was chosen by the old man when he was alive. As the ancestor of the Jia family, she believed in her master's vision even more.
However, Lin Zhongan's family answered all the old lady's questions. She was just a servant about the master's affairs. How could she know so clearly? When she was impatient, she asked a doctor and made tonic for the girl. She only thought that my uncle was a good one.
As a woman, who doesn't want her husband to be considerate and caring?
After all, when the master was alive, my son-in-law might show him a play, but what about now?Even if the uncle is acting, there is really no need to do it for this sake. These servants also have eyes, so naturally they can tell the truth from the fake.
The girl's body is getting healthier day by day, although she still looks like a weak willow, but her complexion is ruddy, and it can be seen that my uncle has worked hard in the past few years.
Therefore, although Lin Zhongan's family did not praise the uncle too much in words, she felt that the pertinent words were harsh in Jiamu's ears, and through these things, she deepened her understanding of the son-in-law.
Sure enough, he is a deep-minded one, and it seems that the servants of the Lin family are not bribed by that son-in-law.
I just hope that my Yu'er is still vigilant, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Of course, if the son-in-law could live a good life with her Yu'er, she would accept it, but such a man with evil intentions and deep thoughts immediately made Jia's mother feel bored without seeing him.
Fortunately, Yu'er is going to Beijing, under his nose, he can't blatantly bully his own Yu'er, right?
After listening to Lin Zhong'an's words, Mother Jia slowly closed her eyes and made a decision!
Lin Zhongan's family held the high-class seal from Jia's mansion in their hands, curled their lips, left Jia's mansion, and went back to the county lord's mansion...
After the Lin family's property was jointly calculated by the Zhen family and Jia's family last time, there are not many left, and Daiyu is reluctant to sell all of them, after all, many of them were purchased by the ancestors.
Luo Chenyi didn't care about this, he listened to Daiyu's handling of everything, he just stood by to help her and protect her well.
This time when they go to Beijing, they are afraid that they will not return to Gusu in a short time, so Daiyu plans to pack up everything that can be taken away. The next few rooms are guarded by loyal family members who do not want to go to Beijing.
