Red House Reorganization Family

Jiang Wen couldn't stop laughing, and managed to calm down a bit, but when he saw Lin Ruhai's expressionless face again, he couldn't stop laughing.But she still tried her best to control it. After all, when a woman has menstruation, she bleeds profusely without moving. Now she smiles and feels that she is about to collapse...

Jiang Wen thought it was strange, but Lin Ruhai probably couldn't understand, because he always looked at her with a cold face.

Pursing his lips, he managed his expression, and then put the envelope into the book. It was not serious to discuss such a thing: "I already know what you said in the letter, and I will honor it when I return from the capital." ,how?"

Lin Ruhai's eyes fell on other places, and he said in a slightly flat tone: "You can feel free, now I feel that self-cultivation is also very good."

Hearing this, Jiang Wen raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his lips, but he didn't say any more annoying words.

Lin Ruhai still had a good demeanor, although he was a little annoyed, but he didn't shake his sleeves and leave, but sat there and talked to Jiang Wen about the business: "I know you are impatient to manage general affairs, this time the second housekeeper will go to Beijing with you. He handles the relationship between people and Chen'er's marriage, and when Chen'er gets married, everything will be handled by his daughter-in-law."

"It's fine, but whether it's a daughter-in-law or not, I have to see it with my own eyes."

"It's up to you." Jiang Wen didn't know the situation of Youjia, so it's normal to be a little worried, and Lin Ruhai didn't try to explain to her, no matter how many words she said, it's really not as good as seeing it with her own eyes.

Turning on the chat mode, Jiang Wen always felt uncomfortable if he didn’t eat something. He glanced around and grabbed a plate of melon seeds, and said while eating melon seeds: “Actually, I don’t have any requirements. There is Chen'er, and I am happy to be a mother-in-law who throws her hands away."

At the beginning, the old Wei wanted to manipulate Xu's methods, and daughters-in-law of this age had to suffer. Jiang Wen had heard of some of them before, and sometimes couldn't help but rejoice that Xu treated him like his own, after all, it sounded a bit like It's not teaching at all, it's just doing it with malice...

Thinking of this, Jiang Wen shook her head. Anyway, she was not in the mood to take her mother-in-law's money in front of her daughter-in-law, so it would be nice to play by herself if she was so leisurely!

Lin Ruhai didn't comment on her words, just nodded, and then continued: "I'm far away in Yangzhou, and I can't take care of some things. If you encounter embarrassing things, it's fine if you don't handle them well. I will go to Beijing in the future Will cook."

"Don't worry, isn't there Chen'er? No matter how bad it is, I can go and ask Mrs. Chang for advice."

That being the case, Lin Ruhai sat for a while, and then Shi Shiran left the main courtyard.Jiang Wen thought that there was nothing wrong with him. Who would have thought that in the few days before leaving Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai would always look straight at her when he saw her again, as if she could forget his embarrassment that day.

Because the two of them usually get along like this, other people didn't find anything unusual, and Jiang Wen didn't care, so what should happen or what should happen.

Before boarding the boat, Lin Ruhai stood in front of Jiang Wen with a calm expression, not as mindful as Jiang Wen thought, and said: "Madam, if you have anything to do in Beijing, please write to me."

When Jiang Wen heard the word "letter", he laughed narrowly, and then worried that he would annoy others if he left, so he put away his smiling face and nodded seriously, "Got it."

Lin Ruhai believed what she said, so he said, "Get on the boat."

Jiang Wen nodded slightly at Lin Ruhai, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said with a smile, "Master Lin, it's okay to write a letter, as long as you can understand it~"

Lin Ruhai was expressionless for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly when the boat pulled away, and couldn't help laughing afterwards.

The life on the ship hardly changed, but everyone including the crew felt lucky about it. After all, if it was a stormy season, accidents were still prone to happen.

Except for Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xu, who had trouble digesting, they basically arrived in the capital smoothly. Tian Guanshi personally came to pick them up at the pier. After getting off the boat, someone took care of their luggage, so they got on the carriage and rushed back to the Lin family's place in the capital. House.

After Lin Ruhai remarried, he had already started to have people repair the house in the capital, so Jiang Wen and the others could live in it immediately after they arrived.

"Qing Zhi, you go to the kitchen and tell them not to prepare too much, and just cook some light food." After ordering the maid, Jiang Wen turned to her mother and mother-in-law and said, "You guys rest first, and I will send someone to eat when lunch is ready." Go and call you."

Both Xue Shi and Xu Shi were not feeling well, and they were both lacking energy at this time, so they went back to their respective rooms to rest first.Lin Chen went to ask for a doctor, and when he came back to see his mother, he asked, "Aren't you going to sleep for a while?"

Jiang Wen shook his head, "I'm fine, I'll go back to rest after dinner."

Lin Chen personally poured a cup of tea for his mother, and said: "My son will report to the Imperial Academy tomorrow, and in the afternoon, I will go to You's house to send greetings, but I will not be able to accompany him tomorrow..."

"It's okay, your mother and I are not three-year-old children, and we still need someone to accompany us."

Lin Chen smiled. He was just worried that his mother would not be used to the unfamiliar place. Seeing that she was extremely calm, he said, "Mrs. You is a kind person, so my son's worries are unnecessary."

The presents at the door were all prepared by Mother Su, Jiang Wen took advantage of Lin Chen's presence, took them out, and asked about Youjia's situation, and the food from the kitchen was also prepared and brought over.

The family of four ate some food together, and then went back to rest separately.In the evening, Lin Chen came back from You's house to confirm the time with his mother. On the second day, Jiang Wen packed up and went to You's house alone with a gift.

The You family attaches great importance to Mrs. Lin's visit today. Unlike Mrs. You and Mr. You, Mrs. You is also very satisfied with Lin Chen's character and talent, but her daughter gets along more with the back house after her marriage, let alone the Lin family. The composition of the back house is particularly complex.

Even if Lord You said that a pair of in-laws must be easy to get along with if they lived under the same roof for so many years, Mrs. Lin had to see it herself to be at ease, otherwise she would have nothing to say and just let her daughter go.

"It's just a pity that I can't meet Lin Chen's grandmother and grandmother today..."

You Tingyu heard her mother's words, saw her regretful expression, and persuaded with a smile: "Mother, father and brother both said it's okay, so don't worry."

"Where do men know the doorway of the inner house?"

But the worry is nothing to worry about, when Jiang smelled it, Mrs. You still warmly greeted him in person.When Jiang Wen was putting on airs, he still had a bit of a look. He used to be a little poor in etiquette, and after marrying into the Lin family, he had been with Xia Suixin for so long.

When the two women met each other, they had a simple evaluation of each other, and their first impressions were good.

"This is the little girl, named Tingyu." Mrs. You introduced her daughter to Jiang Wen, "I have a son, but he has to work, so I can't see Mrs. Lin today, so please don't mind."

Jiang Wen shook his head, smiling indifferently, "The errand is important, my family is also a kid, there is nothing to worry about."

Mrs. You felt relieved when she saw her speak frankly, and You Tingyu took a step forward to salute Mrs. Lin, "Tingyu You, please greet Mrs. Lin."

Jiang Wen had been sneaking eyes at this girl since Mrs. You introduced her, and now that she greeted him, she could look at her openly.

You Tingyu has an oval face, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, a pair of extremely clear pupils, a clear and moderate rhythm of speech, elegant demeanor and a leisurely demeanor, so it seems that he is a perfect match for Lin Chen.

Jiang Wen thought it was pretty good, imitating the way of expressing liking in this age, he also took You Tingyu's hand and praised: "Good boy, our adults have said that You's family is well-bred, and I met you today, didn't you? It’s pleasing to look at.”

The elders of You's parents didn't hide it from You Tingyu just because it was their daughter's marriage, so she knew in her heart that Mrs. Lin would be her future mother-in-law if nothing happened. Gentle, subconsciously, she wants to impress Mrs. Lin.

And Jiang Wen likes to look into the eyes of strangers when he sees them. Unless he is a very thoughtful person, a person's character and character will be revealed from the eyes to a large extent.

She took the little girl's hand and casually asked her about her usual hobbies. Seeing that although You Tingyu did not conceal shame between his brows and eyes, his eyes were pure and pure from beginning to end. This was not developed in a complicated family. Being favored but not arrogant, Lin Ruhai said that Youjia's strict upbringing of their children can be seen.

After being seated, Mrs. You asked the maid to show Mrs. Lin some tea, and Jiang Wen asked Qing Zhi to present gifts to everyone in You's family. He was supposed to pay a visit to Mr. You, but when the old man went to pay respects to the Buddha again, all of them were left alone. Mrs. You accepted it on her behalf.

Then Qingzhi took another exquisite box and handed it to the master. This was prepared by Jiang Wen for You Tingyu in advance. She also saw a few wives in Yangzhou who directly pulled it off her hands in order to show their love for others. But she didn't think it was suitable, so she went with her mother and mother-in-law to pick out a jade bracelet with a color and head that was just right for the little girl.

"Knowing that I will see you today, I chose this bracelet specially, I hope you like it."

You Tingyu glanced at his mother and took it with a happy expression under her nod, and thanked Mrs. Lin again.

Jiang Wen, as Lin Chen's mother, came to Beijing this time for the marriage of her two children. This is something both families know well, so You Tingyu said a few words with her, and Mrs. You asked her to go back first. up.

The man should be more proactive in the marriage, and Jiang Wen felt that there is no need to be too polite to become an in-law. It is best to let people know what kind of person she is, so when the little girl from the You family went out, she said: "Your family's young lady Excellent, your family must understand my son's temperament, if there is nothing else to consider, why not hire a matchmaker to finalize the marriage?"

Madam You naturally wouldn't object, but said with some hesitation: "Then the wedding date... You know, my daughter was raised in a pampered family, if she gets married too soon, I really can't bear it."

"This can be discussed." Jiang Wen didn't want Lin Chen to get married too early, and although You Tingyu looked steady, he was still a bit young. If the woman wanted to, it would be okay to delay.Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "According to my Master Lin, the children are not too young. It is best if I can handle it this time, but we are all parents. It belongs to Mrs. Xian, but the feelings are also connected, I can understand that you are reluctant to part with your daughter."

With a smile on her face, Mrs. You listened carefully to her words.

Jiang Wen then continued to smile and said: "I'm relieved if the marriage can be settled first. As for when to get married, I respect your family's opinion. If the time is not too close, I will go back to Yangzhou first after the engagement. Madam You, please take care of Chen'er."

Mrs. You didn't expect Jiang Wen to be so talkative, the smile on her face grew wider, and she said, "Thank you for your understanding, it won't be too late."

But Jiang Wen didn't care and said: "It's okay, and I won't hide it from you. My lord has always loved Lin Chen very much. If he gets a chance to witness the marriage later, he must be happy in his heart."

Mrs. You's sensitivity to officialdom is much stronger than Jiang Wen's, and when she heard her words, she immediately thought that Lin Ruhai might be going back to Beijing to report on her duties, and immediately felt relieved of any pressure, and said happily: "That's really happy! "

You Tingyu is about to reach the age, many people's daughters are already married at this age, Mrs. You is extremely reluctant, if she can stay at home for a longer period of time, she can teach and teach carefully.

With a thought in his mind, Jiang Wen said again: "Chen'er was brought up under strict requirements by me, not my mother-in-law's boasting, he is very upright, and I have no intention of doing anything that will cause people's suspicion. Harmony, I couldn't be more satisfied."

Madam You's eyes lit up, and she affirmed without hesitation: "We absolutely have no doubts about Lin Chen's character, otherwise we wouldn't like him."

When Lin Chen first came to You's house, Mrs. You said that there are many children from aristocratic families in Beijing, and apart from his slightly inferior family background, he is definitely a leader.Even Mr. You praised Mrs. You more than once, which shows their satisfaction with Lin Chen himself.

And without his father's teaching since he was a child, Lin Chen was able to be neither arrogant nor impetuous nor humble. At first they thought it was Lin Ruhai's credit, but seeing Mrs. Lin's appearance now, they were wrong. The mother's open-mindedness also had a great influence on his son of.

Jiang Wen was very happy that the other party affirmed Lin Chen. She had nothing to say to others, so she talked to Mrs. You about the situation at home, emphasizing that she and the Xue family and the Xu family were easy to get along with, and so was Daiyu. She is a cute and sensible girl, anyway, they will never give her any anger when the little girl from Youjia marries in.

After Mrs. You and Jiang Wen saw this, they were more satisfied with this marriage. When Mr. You came back in the evening, she described the content of their conversation to him with joy, and finally sighed: "What was I thinking about before?" Such a woman can bring her son to marry Mr. Lin, so it seems that there is indeed something extraordinary."

Master You and Lin Ruhai are close friends, so naturally they know his situation very well. Given how much Lin Ruhai loves his daughter, even if he cares about incense, he would never choose a successor at will, but the wife thinks more.

"Relax now?"

Madam You just smiled and didn't say much.

On the other side, as soon as Jiang Wen came home, he saw Xue Shi and Xu Shi sitting in the main hall. As soon as he saw her, he hurried over to ask how Miss You Jia was doing.

"Miss Qianjin from the scholarly family is naturally excellent." Then Jiang Wen used his lack of vocabulary to describe her specific features to the two of them.

What Jiang Wen said was straightforward, but Xue Shi and Xu Shi were satisfied with what they heard. Although they had known for a long time that the young lady would not be bad, it would be more at ease for Jiang Wen to tell them in person.

"Mrs. You said that she was reluctant to part with her daughter, so I promised to get married later, so after the engagement, I am going to go back to Yangzhou. Mom, mother, how about you two? Do you want to stay in the capital or go back to Yangzhou with me?"

Although they are not from small families, the engagement rules must be complicated, but how long it would take to complete the engagement ceremony in another Gengtie, it is estimated that it will only take a month or two.

This was different from what they thought at the beginning. Xue Shi and Xu Shi looked at each other in blank dismay after hearing this, but they couldn't bear to part with their grandson, so the two of them agreed to go back with Jiang Wen.

In the evening Lin Chen came back from the Hanlin Academy and rushed back to Yangzhou after learning that his mother was planning to marry him. He felt very sad and persuaded them to stay longer.

Jiang Wen shook his head directly and said: "I also hate you, but how can Yangzhou be as comfortable in the capital? And your father should have told you, right? He is preparing for activities and returning to Beijing to report on his duties. He must stay in Beijing by then, and it won't be long. We can be reunited without this gesture."

Well, Lin Chen is not a child anymore. Knowing that her mother's decision cannot be changed, she can only say: "Then let me take you and grandma around the capital while my son is resting?"

Jiang Wen didn't refute this point, but Lin Chen was already an official of the imperial court, and she would have a few days for Xiumu, and she was prepared to go out and play by herself when she was free. Anyway, there was someone behind her to provide financial support, so she was not afraid at all.

He wrote a letter to Lin Ruhai explaining that Mrs. Xue, Mrs. Xu and the housekeeper were busy with a series of matters related to exchanging invitations and inviting a matchmaker. While waiting for the time for the woman to count her birthday, Jiang Wen received several invitations first.

Ye Yunyi and Ning Wangshi knew that they might be busy, so they let them have time to sit and sit. Jiang Wen also wrote a reply to choose a time to visit, but he didn't want to send out the reply, so he received an invitation from the Rongguo Mansion post.

The date was directly written on the post, and they were invited to visit with their whole family tomorrow.

Lin Ruhai's natal family, Jiang Wen's identity is a bit embarrassing, let alone Xue and Xu, but now that they are invited, it is impossible for them not to go. After all, Lin Daiyu is there, and Lin Chen was in the capital. I also received some care from the Jia family...

So in front of the servants from Jia's family who came to send invitations, Jiang Wen could only smile and agree directly, turned around and postponed the time for the invitations to Ye Yunyi and Ning Wang, and then sent them over.

In fact, before coming here, Jiang Wen also thought about whether to visit Rongguo Mansion, but immediately cut it off by himself. They just need to maintain the relationship between Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu by themselves.

But if she didn't go, the Rongguo Mansion didn't seem to have any estrangement at all, and even invited their family over, but I really didn't know what to say.

As for Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xu, Jiang Wen didn't go to You's house. Now that the old lady of Rongguo Mansion has posted a post, the two of them have no choice but to ask people to prepare clothes. That's Jia's home again.

When they came to the capital this time, they all prepared a lot of outfits that could be seen on the stage. The next day, they tidied up early, and the three of them boarded the carriage and went to Rongguo Mansion.

After all, it is the mansion of the Duke of the State. When I got out of the carriage and saw the plaque that ordered the establishment of the two mansions, the momentum was extremely magnificent. When I entered the mansion, there was nowhere that did not show wealth. I can't help but sigh the majesty of the Rongguo Mansion. It's no wonder that Jia Min's demeanor was not something that ordinary people can raise.

As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Wen saw the noble old lady with silver hair sitting on top, and saluted her. Mother Jia asked them to sit down in a gentle and polite manner.

There were also two older middle-aged women and a young woman in the house. After learning their identities, they greeted each other. The young woman called "Sister Feng" spoke to them enthusiastically first: "Say Come on, we are also relatives, my real aunt married into the Xue family back then."

Jiang Wen nodded with a smile and said, "The last time I saw your second master, I told you, isn't it fate?" But when it came to Jia Lian, Jiang Wen greeted Jia Lian by the way.

Sister Feng replied with a hearty smile: "Second Master helps the family manage the general affairs, and is often too busy to see anyone!"

"It's not surprising, it looks like a capable person."

A few casual gossips and a few polite words, the girls of the Jia family also came over, and each of them gradually became a little familiar with each sentence. At this time, Jia's mother suddenly asked: "What are you talking about when you come to Beijing this time? Why didn't you take Yu'er bring it here?"

The next step of Lin Chen's marriage is a formal engagement, so Jiang Wen didn't hide it, and told them the reason directly, but she felt that what Jia's mother wanted to know more might be Lin Daiyu's matter, so she briefly mentioned Lin Chen's matter, but Said: "Yangzhou is a long way from the capital, and we don't stay here for a long time. For the sake of the child's health, I didn't bring Daiyu here, but she missed everyone very much, and specially chose gifts for the elders and sisters in the house. us."

However, Jia's mother was not like Jiang Wen who thought she didn't care about Lin Chen's marriage. After asking a few words about her granddaughter's situation at home, she mentioned Lin Chen again: "When he was admitted to Jinshi at such an age, our family also Be happy for him, you are lucky."

"You flatter me."

"But there is someone who is optimistic? If there is no suitable candidate, our family can also help Zhang Luo one or two." Lin Chen has a good relationship with Baoyu, and is good to her granddaughter. Jia's mother really appreciates and loves him, so Even though there was some estrangement from Lin Ruhai's stepmother in his heart, he took the initiative to bring it up.

Even, Mother Jia took a thoughtful look at Yingchun. Before, she proposed to her son-in-law that the two jade children should marry each other. Lin Ruhai rejected it in the letter, but she did not want the relationship between the two families to be alienated. If Yingchun could marry For Lin Chen...

Although she is a concubine, she can be recorded under the name of the Xing family. Lin Chen is promising, but she is only the son-in-law's stepson. The lady of the Duke's Mansion is not unworthy of him... Thinking so, I waited for Jiang Wen's reply.

Jiang Wen didn't have so many thoughts, and said with a smile: "I went to Beijing directly because I had a candidate, but I haven't made an appointment yet, so I don't want to announce it to the outside world."
