Red Mansions: No Tears

?Let's not talk about how the Zhou family persuaded Lin Chong to inquire about Jiang Ke with Lin Yu, but learned that Jiang Ke was actually the future niece and son-in-law, so he had to come back and talk to his wife and daughter. How could the Zhou family be jealous and disappointed? And sighing, how Lin Yao reluctantly hid in the room and wept....

One day at the beginning of September, which was an auspicious day, the gate of Lin's front yard had been opened at the beginning of Sishi, and many women and servants were busy inside and out. The colleagues have already come to congratulate, and are going to go to Zhongsu Palace with Lin Yu to welcome the relatives.

Lin Yu, as the groom's official, was pulled up early to take a bath and change clothes. Although the dressing ceremony is not as complicated as that of the bride, there must be some rules, right?

There is no servant girl in Lin Yu's yard, and most of them have not lived at home in the past few years since he entered Beijing, so in the past, Mammy Wen was always in charge of the affairs of the yard, and there was not even a serious nanny in charge, but Zhao Hua was treated like this. It is very beneficial, at least after she enters the door, she doesn't have to worry about dealing with those difficult old guys.

After Lin Yu set off to greet the bride, Nanny Wen transferred most of the affairs to a nanny surnamed Liu who was sent by Princess Zhongsu earlier to take charge of the affairs of Mi's leaving the hospital.

Grandma Liu saw that she was really good at taking care of the house. With a serious face, she swept around the ladies and maids, and then began to direct everyone to sort out the dowries that had been delivered. Those who came over from the other side of the palace naturally tended a little more towards their own county master. After only two days, they probably already understood that the whole family was considered a good friend, not to mention that the master was only two people, and those who lived in the two yards But for the side relatives, Nanny Wen didn't explain anything, and she didn't plan to talk too much, so in her eyes, the Lin family's back house was as clean as it wanted, which saved her a lot of effort.

Lin Daiyu took advantage of the fact that the bride hadn't arrived yet, and she walked around the mansion with Su Momo and Xueyan to check again and again, for fear of missing something, after all, the guests who were waiting to come to the door were not just those civil and military officials. Officer, maybe someone from the royal family will show up. Of course, the rightful lord may not come, but the subordinates will be ordered to give gifts. However, she asked Wang Xifeng to let Jia Lian take charge of dealing with those nobles. , she dared not ask Lin Chong and Lin Yong to come forward to entertain them. The status of the two of them was too low, and people would think that the Lin family looked down on them.

Among those in the Jia family, Lin Daiyu only had a little contact with Jia Lian and his wife. Even Wang Xifeng's mother-in-law, Mrs. Xing, even though she knew that this person could do nothing wrong except love money, she really didn't want to be with a fool. Lack of contacts, so it's just a relationship on the face of affection, and Madam Xing didn't talk too much about serious things. At that time, when she suddenly remembered Jia Yingchun's marriage, she also asked Wang Xifeng to come over, and hinted to her with a hint. , I didn't ask any more follow-up questions, but after hearing that Jia Yingchun had indeed engaged in a marriage, and that it wasn't the Sun's family, I still couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Daiyu had just walked from the other side of the garden, and met Lin Yao who somehow came here halfway, Lin Yao stood at the end of the path and stared at her, neither saluting nor making a sound, Lin Daiyu glanced at her , The events of the past few days flashed through my mind, so I didn't plan to take the initiative to talk to her.

"Sister Dai, wait!" Seeing that Lin Daiyu didn't intend to pay attention to her, Lin Yao shouted anxiously.

"Sister Yao'er, is something wrong?" Lin Daiyu turned her head and looked at Lin Yao with great interest.

"I, I...it's okay, Sister Dai, go get busy." Lin Yao bit her lip, then shook her head shyly again.

"Don't come out and walk around if you have nothing to do. Today is different than usual. Why don't you hurry up and accompany your girl back to the yard for a good time!? Otherwise, if something happens, I don't care if you are a maid in my house. When the time comes You can deal with it as you like, and it's useless for anyone to intercede." Lin Daiyu said to Caixiang behind Lin Yao expressionlessly.

There are three members of Lin Chong's family. Lin Yu's brother and sister only set up errands for Lin Yao, but Zhou's mother and daughter have nothing to do. They usually stay in Jiaochao Yard to be female celebrities. However, Lin Chong and his wife are still pampered and indulged by Lin Yao It's a rule that women in the boudoir can't go out at will, so every few days, Lin Yao will go out to play in the street, go out at noon, and return late in the evening.

"Don't worry, big girl. I'll go back with you right away." Caixiang's heart tightened. Although she followed Lin Yao since she was a child, she also knew a little bit about how Lin Daiyu managed her family when she was in Suzhou to keep her filial piety. This was definitely not a joke, so he quickly bowed to Lin Daiyu, then pulled his girl and left in a hurry.

Seeing that Lin Yao was being pulled back, Lin Daiyu turned around and was about to go back to the yard to change clothes, but she saw Chunxiao running over panting, and said, "Girl, girl, hurry up, Mrs. Jiang is here." Visited!"

"Mrs. Jiang?! Why did she come to Beijing suddenly?!" Lin Daiyu turned her head to glance at Su Nanny, and saw that Su Nanny was also surprised, obviously she didn't know about it in advance.

"Nurse Yu has already gone to the second door to pick up people. I heard that I just arrived in the capital yesterday. I think I know that the uncle is very happy today, and I am worried that the girl has a lot of things to do, so I just came to the door directly." Chun Xiao is clever, but at this moment After a while, I heard a lot of news.

"Seventh brother may want to give me a surprise, but to me, this is really not a surprise." Lin Daiyu pursed her lips, although it is a matter of time for an ugly daughter-in-law to see her in-laws, at least let her have a mentality Get ready~ The mother-in-law-to-be came to visit without saying a word, which really made her flustered.

Mrs. Jiang made a special trip to Beijing this time for no other reason than for the marriage of her youngest son Jiang Ke. As soon as the marriage gift between Lin Yu and Zhao Hua arrived, Jiang Ke immediately wrote back to Huai'an He told all the elders in the family, and also said that he may be released in the coming year, but he may not have time to return to his hometown to handle lifelong affairs, so he had to wrong his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law to find a compromise.

After discussing with Mrs. Jiang for a while, Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang decided that Mrs. Jiang would first go to Beijing to explore the way. Firstly, she wanted to formally meet her prospective daughter-in-law who had only heard of her and never seen her for years. Second, she came here I just want to see how the Huaining county master who has just entered the Lin family is, and whether he will be difficult to get along with. After all, the other party is of high status. Worry about whether the county mistress will make Jiang Ke stumbling in his official career in the future.

Although Lin Yu's wedding day was specially chosen, but because Mrs. Jiang was not officially invited to the wedding, it didn't matter whether she appeared at the Lin family's banquet or not. She had to be granted a five-rank pleasant edict, even if she really mixed with a bunch of noble ladies, it wouldn't seem too abrupt, but she thought about it... and decided to see her future wife first.

When Lin Daiyu came back in a hurry, Mrs. Jiang was already drinking tea in the main room of Xingluyuan. Ziyun was very good at winning impression points for her daughter. Walter asked someone to bring the rose tea, and the water used was snow water that even Lin Daiyu herself was reluctant to use a few times. Last winter, the women and maids in the yard mobilized to collect together. It was hard to collect two urns, purple Yun actually knows how to use it to entertain distinguished guests.

"Aunt Jiang...?" Lin Daiyu saw a dignified lady sitting at a table drinking tea gracefully. If she hadn't seen Nanny Hu standing beside her, she would not dare to recognize her rashly.

"You are Yu'er? Come here, let auntie take a look..." Mrs. Jiang saw Lin Daiyu for the first time, and the first thought in her heart was that she was indeed a beautiful girl, with graceful eyebrows and bright eyes. No wonder Brother Ke had been thinking about her for so many years. He refused to accept even a maid who served her personally.

"Aunt Jiang rarely came to visit, but Yu'er failed to welcome her in person. It was really rude. Yu'er apologized to Auntie here." Lin Daiyu blushed, stepped forward in shame, and bowed to make amends.

"Don't, don't, I told Brother Ke not to tell you. I think you have been so busy with your brother's wedding these days. I am worried that if you knew that I would come, it would be unavoidable. Be too nervous and think wildly, if something goes wrong at your brother's wedding, I will be the one to blame." Mrs. Jiang held Lin Daiyu's hand, comforting her face kindly.

"Where can Yu'er help? Most of the trivial matters in the mansion are arranged by Lian's second sister-in-law and Wen Momo, and there are a few nuns sent by the palace to give pointers. I, a girl, just join in the fun. Just learn a little secretly." Lin Daiyu explained with some embarrassment.

"You are so young, and you don't have any serious guidance from your elders. You can do this by yourself. I don't know how many people will fall behind. Even though my eldest granddaughter has already started to learn how to be a housekeeper, But I'm afraid it will take a few more years of training to be seven or eighty like you. In the future, with you helping Brother Ke, I can finally feel more at ease." Mrs. Jiang laughed.

"Where is Yu'er without elders to teach? Aunt Jiang...isn't Yu'er's elder? Besides, Aunt Jiang asked Su Momo and Yu Momo to come to Lin's house, isn't it just to teach me those things? Speaking of which, these few days Nian is really thanks to having them by Yu'er's side, so that Yu'er can avoid a lot of wrongdoing." Lin Daiyu seemed to be casually showing a little daughter.

Mrs. Jiang doesn't have a daughter herself, and she doesn't even have the opportunity to adopt a concubine daughter. Sometimes when she sees girls from the other three houses acting like a baby with her younger siblings, after watching it for a long time, she feels that it would be nice to have a daughter... Unfortunately, when the eldest daughter-in-law came in , she is only in her early thirties, and she is still young and energetic, so the eldest daughter-in-law dare not get too close to her, let alone the second daughter-in-law, she is just a concubine, usually very timid, it is rare to see her say anything, Ask her what's the matter, she will always have no objection, she looks like a little quail, which makes her even less interested in talking to the second daughter-in-law.

But what about Lin Daiyu?She is only five or six years older than her eldest granddaughter, but she has been managing the family affairs independently for many years. Although Mrs. Jiang has never seen Lin Daiyu, she has heard a lot from Jiang Ke and Hu Momo Regarding Lin Daiyu's matter, I naturally know that under Lin Daiyu's management these years, the Lin family has always performed their duties in an orderly manner. Handle it properly soon, and won't cause any trouble to yourself or your family because of some villains. ?
