Red Mansions: No Tears

?Jia Lian came back to Rongguo Duke's mansion in a hurry. He had just changed his clothes. The family servants who have been with him several times know that he was quite safe in Yangzhou, but the feeling of not being around her husband is always somewhat lacking, but the elders have to obey the call, so she has to follow behind her husband with a worried face. They also went to Jiamuyuan together.

Sitting on the couch, Jia's mother was looking at somewhere gloomy with an old face. When she heard the voice of the little maid outside the door saying hello to Jia Lian, she did not move a bit, and she was deaf and indifferent to Jia Lian and his wife's greeting.

Not long after, Wang Shi, Xing Shi, Sanchun and others also came over, and there were a few more voices in the room, and then Jia's mother turned her attention to Jia Lian and asked coldly, "Tell me about the past year and a half. , what have you done in the Lin family, why didn't there be any news about Lin Ruhai's stepchildren, did you really know nothing about it?"

"Old lady, my grandson really didn't know anything at first. That Lin Yu had only been in the Lin family for two or three days, and Mrs. Lin and the elders of the Lin family had already completed the adoption procedures, and my grandson had no time to stop her." , and was tricked into taking a trip to Suzhou, acting as a shield for them, if the grandson knew that Mrs. Lin would do such a thing in advance, why not tell the old lady immediately?" Jia Lian looked extremely annoyed. cried.

"Really? Lin Ruhai is a smart person anyway, how could he do such a foolish thing? He didn't even know the other party's background, so he gave him such a huge family business, and my Yu'er? Why didn't Yu'er tell you?" Come back together? That kid from the Lin family is only in his teens, how can he know how to take care of Yuer, who is frail and sick?" Mother Jia tapped the crutch in her hand, her tone even more dissatisfied.

With her head lowered, Mrs. Wang silently listened to Mother Jia criticizing Jia Lian's incompetence, and snorted disdainfully in her heart. She was really dissatisfied with Mother Jia's wishful thinking, but she was a mother-in-law after all, so she didn't dare to talk back. However, she was very happy to see that Jia Lian did not bring Lin Daiyu back when she returned to Beijing this time, because in this way, no one could spoil the matter between Xue Baochai and Jia Baoyu.

Everyone in Jia's mother's room knew that at the beginning of the year, after the people sent to Yangzhou returned, they had already told about the fact that Mrs. Lin's aunt had selected a boy from the family to adopt her name. I still remember that the old lady heard the news At that time, she immediately smashed a few cups angrily, and yelled that Lin Ruhai made it clear that she didn’t trust her and looked down on Rongguo’s mansion. Otherwise, why would she rather find an unknown outsider to inherit the family business than Ken agreed to the marriage of the two jades. Does this mean that her Baoyu cannot support the appearance of the Lin family? !

"Old lady, don't be so angry. Sister Lin said that after she has served Mr. Lin for three years, she will immediately come back to the old lady to honor you. Moreover, the grandson guessed that Lin Yu had just arrived, so Sister Lin must have If the old lady is worried, she can send a few more people to Suzhou to take care of Sister Lin." Seeing that the old lady was about to get angry, Jia Lian quickly explained in a low voice.

"Naturally, we should do this. No matter how good Suzhou is, it's not as prosperous as the capital. Although we are doing filial piety for our father, we can't wrong ourselves." After hearing these words, Jia Mu's expression softened a little. She nodded lightly.

"If the old lady sent someone, wouldn't she be sent back by Sister Lin?" Jia Tanchun, who was sitting on the side and staring at the door, suddenly said something.

"Sister Lin has always listened to the old lady the most, how could she refuse the old lady's kindness?" Wang Xifeng retorted disapprovingly.

"How is it impossible? Didn't she send Zicuckoo back?" Jia Tanchun stretched out his finger to the door, and twitched the corner of his mouth.

Immediately, everyone looked out the door in unison, only to see Zicuckoo standing in the porch with a timid look, her head almost dropped to the floor, Jia Mu immediately asked in amazement: "Huh?! Brother, what's going on?! Isn't Zijuan supposed to be serving Yu'er by her side? Why are you here?"

"This...this... Sister Lin said that because Xueyan had returned to her, and there was another maid brought up by her after going back, she didn't dare to keep Zijuan down. After all...after all, Zijuan was only an old lady for a while. The person assigned to her, she felt that since she decided to stay in Suzhou for a period of time, Zijuan's body deed was not in her hands, and she would not be able to decide if there was anything good or bad in the future, so she asked her grandson to take him Bring it back." Jia Lian shrank her neck and explained guiltily.

"When did Yu'er care about this kind of thing? Could it be that Zijuan did something that made her unhappy? Call that girl in, and I'll ask... There is nothing else here, you should be busy. Go yourself." Jiamu paused, and suddenly remembered that she seemed to have ordered Zijuan to inquire about some things in the Lin family's back house. Could it be that this girl went too far on her own, and Yu'er thought her hands and feet were not clean, so Was sent back by Yu'er in a fit of anger?

Naturally, it was impossible for the juniors to know that Jia's mother was greedy for the things of the Lin family, so when she thought that this might be the reason, she immediately asked Wang's sister-in-law, Sanchun, Li Wan and others to leave first, and then questioned Zijuan carefully. Think about her situation in the Lin family.

Fortunately, when Lin Daiyu first returned to the Lin family, she already showed distrust towards Zijuan, so Zijuan has been under house arrest intentionally or unintentionally in the backyard of the Lin family. Before Aunt Wu was sold, she still had a place to go Walk around, after Aunt Wu was sold, she could only stay in Lin Daiyu's yard every day. Lin Daiyu went to the main courtyard every day to serve the sick, and rarely took her there.

At first, Mother Jia was full of expectation that Zijuan would have some good news to tell her, but after listening to it, she finally found out that there was not much usable news in Zijuan's words, neither did she find out whether Jia Min's dowry was still in place or not. There are many things that are not as detailed as what Jia Lian just said. For example, Jiang Ke who went to the Lin family at about the same time as them, Jiang Xuan, Yan Lao, and Zijuan only heard that these people appeared in the Lin family. But he had never seen the face of the other party, let alone knew the origin of the other party.

Mother Jia frowned, and impatiently waited for Zijuan to finish speaking, so she waved her hand in disappointment and said, "Forget it, don't say any more, since Yu'er doesn't need you, you don't need to go back to her again." From now on, you can stay in the yard and continue to be a second-class girl."

"Yes, thank you, old lady." Zijuan kowtowed gratefully.

Mother Jia waved her hand to let Zijuan go out again. She leaned against the corner of Luohan's couch, silently pondering what Jia Lian said today. Could it be that person?If it was the person who saved the life of the Holy One more than ten years ago, if the Jiang family interfered in the Lin family's affairs, would there be any intentions from above?

Mother Jia shook hands... and then let go. Whether Lin Ruhai really died of illness, she had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't dare to draw conclusions. What did her daughter Jia Min do after marrying into the Lin family? It's not that she doesn't know about it. There are many shameful things that she sent someone to Jia Min quietly when they were still in the capital. I don't know if that old Yan saw any difference. He saw that the Holy Master was poisoned, so it was hard to say who would be sitting in that position now, but these servants of the master who lived in the Lin family for most of the time did not see anything unusual about this matter, obviously Lin Ruhai's control over the affairs of the mansion is much deeper than she imagined... However, Lin Ruhai's adoption of a stepchild is not necessarily because he suspects that the inexplicable illness he suffered was the Jia family's secret attack on him, and Aunt Wu was arrested. After the sale, she disappeared... I'm afraid it's more than auspicious. Fortunately, she didn't personally ask about this matter at the beginning, so she can evade one or two things.

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng went back to the small courtyard hand in hand, and they were reunited after a long time. They had been in the pit for a long time, but Jia Lian suddenly remembered that he hadn't handed over the huge sum of money he brought back from the Lin family. For the old lady.

"Second Master, what's the matter? Could it be that he has a new love in Yangzhou, so he can't see me as an old man?" Seeing Jia Lian standing up suddenly, Wang Xifeng immediately asked a little sourly.

"Hey! Don't think about it, I suddenly remembered that there is something I haven't reported to the old lady, so I was anxious, you wait here, I will come back when I go, when I come back..." Jia Lian's face was ambiguous Looking at his wife intently, he slid on her face twice before walking out of the room again.

Wang Xifeng heard Jia Lian calling out to the servants loudly, as if ordering them to move something out of the yard, her heart moved, her eyes rolled around a few times, then she called Ping'er into the room, and asked, "Why is Second Master coming back today?" What did you bring, have you checked it?"

"Second Master didn't say anything, how dare I make my own claim? I dared to take a look aside. Second Master brought back more than a dozen large boxes, which looked quite heavy, but now they have all been moved away. I heard that they are going to the old lady's place... Huh? Didn't the second father mention it to grandma?" Ping'er replied.

"I was called by the old lady when I came back. We haven't said a few words yet. Go to Zhao'er and ask where the second master got those things." Wang Xifeng paused, and ordered One sentence.

"Understood, the second master and grandma haven't seen each other for more than a year, and it can be regarded as a 'little farewell wins a new love', and there are times when you can't take care of other things." Ping'er smiled softly, hurriedly left a word, and ran quickly go out.

"Hey! This Ping'er, thank you for running fast, look back and see how I punish you!" Wang Xifeng's pretty face flushed instantly, and she shouted at Ping'er's receding back in embarrassment.

The news that Jia Lian went to Jia's Courtyard again with several big boxes was soon known by many people in the house.

Sitting in her room, Mrs. Wang rubbed the handkerchief bitterly, feeling that Jia Lian did it on purpose, and deliberately didn't want her to know what he brought back from the Lin family. If there is an accident, let him get the Lin family's things into his hands. It is true that the boy has completed his errand now, but the good things have not been delivered to her, because Lin Daiyu did not come back, and Jia Lian wanted to please that The old woman, so I sent them all to her. It's really a steal! ?
