Red Mansions: No Tears

?Chapter 69 Angry (Overhaul)

When Jia Mu went to the room, everyone came to pay their respects when the time came, just as the atmosphere was warm, the lady outside the door asked Amber who was guarding the door to hand in a greeting card, so Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and others immediately Silent, several pairs of eyes looked at Jia Mu, Jia Mu didn't shy away from it, and directly told everyone that Huaining County Lord was going to visit the mansion in the afternoon.

"Uncle Lin has been married for a long time, and now he thought of coming to us to pay his respects. It seems that the rules of the palace are not very good." Mrs. Wang snorted coldly and said contemptuously.

What made Mrs. Wang even more angry was that she had originally agreed to ask Baoyu to marry Baoyatou, because after Lin Yu went to the Lin family on the day of her wedding, the old lady went back on her word and not only refuted her plan to promise the third girl to Lin Yu as a favor. The suggestion of the second room, and what is said that the county owner has only entered the door for a few days, they have no reason to stuff people into Uncle Lin's house, and the third girl used to be only the second room, no matter how much Lin Yu favors the third girl, it is impossible for Lin Yu to be so foolish as to let a concubine be the head of the house To be the master, that kind of action is obviously slapping the face of Huaining County Lord and Zhongsu Wangfu, so if you want to stabilize the relationship between Jialin and Jialin, the best way is still to let Baoyu marry Lin girl.

Mrs. Wang was really angry when she heard what her mother-in-law said. She was unwilling to accept this marriage, so besides thinking about how to get Jia Tanchun to marry into the Lin family these days, she had to find ways to stop it. After losing two jades, now that she heard that the chief of Huaining County was coming, a surge of anger came to her heart, so her tone of voice was naturally not so good.

"After all, she is a girl from the palace, and she is the magistrate personally appointed by the emperor. It is natural to be a little arrogant. You go back first, and come back later." Jia Mu glanced at Mrs. Wang lightly, and dismissed her indifferently. everyone.

"The old lady said yes, but since the county head is here, I don't know if the master of the Lin family will come or not? Do you want to invite the master to come back to accompany the guests?" Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth secretly, with that amiable look on her face again.

"Uncle Lin's name was not mentioned in the post, so I guess I won't come here with the county magistrate. After all, today is not Xiumu, and Uncle Lin is on duty at the yamen." Mother Jia glanced at the book in her hand again. The tone of the post seemed to reveal great dissatisfaction. Originally, she went to the Lin family to attend Lin Yu's wedding banquet that day, which was already regarded as condescension, but the boy was still so ignorant, not only dragging on for more than a month It's really outrageous to just come here to ask for peace, and only let Huaining County Lord come alone!

"My daughter-in-law understands, so let's not invite the master back to the mansion for now, so as not to disturb his pleasure." Mrs. Wang felt a pity in her heart, why didn't the master of the Lin family not come?That kid really doesn't know what's good or bad, does it mean that he can sit back and relax with the Zhongsu Palace as his backer?Besides, if he doesn't come to Rongguo Duke's mansion, wouldn't the third girl have no chance to show herself?I don't know if the County Lord Huaining is a virtuous person. Otherwise, Sanya can make a good impression in front of the County Lord. After all, whether she can enter the Lin family in the future depends on the County Lord's consent.

After noon, when Jia Mu went to the room, half the room was full of people. Even Jia Baoyu was tired of being in Jia Mu's arms, and she kept asking, "Old lady, you said Mrs. Lin came to greet you, and sister Lin would Won't you come with her?"

"Of course I'm coming. After all, the Lin family doesn't have any decent elders who can bring her a new daughter-in-law back to her uncle's house for a ceremony. It's understandable to let an unmarried sister-in-law help fill the scene." Jia Mu was dealing with her precious grandson while thinking about waiting. How should I mention the marriage of the two jades to the county magistrate of Huaining.

Near the end of the day, the Lin family's carriage arrived at Rongguo Duke's Mansion, but the gate of Rongguo Duke's Mansion has not been opened for a long time.

"It turns out that I am not qualified to be greeted by the county lord? Mother Chen, go and ask what's going on." Zhao Hua heard that the Rongguo mansion didn't open the gate and no serious master came out to welcome her. He knew in his heart that this family didn't take her identity seriously, and even wanted to use the money from the elders to overwhelm her.

After Chen Momo agreed, she got out of the car and asked about it. When she came back, she really said that Cangtou, the gatekeeper, had received the news that they were allowed to enter through the side door, and had not told them to open the door to welcome guests. There was no one waiting at the door to receive them.

After Zhao Hua heard this, he only pondered for a moment, and then ordered to drive to the side door not far away according to the concierge's intention.

"After all, the visitor is a guest. Even if you want to treat the county lord as your junior, there is absolutely no reason to ask someone to go through the corner gate the first time you come to visit." The one who spoke was the one who came to Rongguo together with Zhao Hua Mrs. Jiang, who was a guest at the palace, had just lifted a corner of the curtain and glanced at the closed animal head door.

"That's all! Mrs. Shi is both my sister's grandmother and a first-class wife granted by the imperial court. I don't mind at all." Anyway, after today's visit, maybe there will be no next time, Zhao Hua added silently.

After Zhao Hua and his party entered the door, only two women led them all the way to Jiamu's courtyard, and at the same time, several other women went to Jiamu's place to report.

Mother Jia and the others had just received the letter, and soon saw a large group of people coming in with two women in support. The young one was undoubtedly the Lord of Huaining County, but the other middle-aged woman was very unfamiliar. She was very suspicious, but knew that it was not good to ask directly at such a time, so she could only calmly wait for the Huaining County Lord to salute her.

It's a pity that after waiting for a long time, Zhao Hua and Mrs. Jiang only saluted Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang respectively, and then nodded slightly to Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai and the three sisters of the Jia family who saluted her.

After Zhao Hua and everyone met the ceremony, he walked to the empty chair on the lower right of Jia Mu and sat down, and Mrs. Jiang sat in the next seat after her.

"The county lord learned the rules from which nanny in the palace? You don't even know what kind of etiquette you should do when you see the elders?" Mrs. Wang saw that the county lord Huaining met several elders, and she just acted hastily. Asked Anli, at least it was the first time I came to greet you, not to mention "kneeling three times and knocking nine times", I didn't even kneel down, what a big air, why?Did she think that her status as a mere second-rank county head could be more honorable than that of a virtuous concubine? !

"What did the second uncle and wife say? Didn't I greet the old lady and the two uncles and wives just now?" Zhao Hua asked with a puzzled expression.

"Could it be that when you were in the Zhongsu Palace, you were so sloppy when you greeted the prince and concubine every day? I really haven't seen any younger generation who doesn't even have to kneel down in front of the elders." Mrs. Wang sneered contemptuously.

"The second uncle and wife also said that they are the prince and the princess. Could it be that the second uncle and wife think they can be equal to my father, queen, mother and concubine? Seriously speaking, I am afraid that the two uncles and wives are not the elders of the county lord. Only with the honor of the old lady can I be honored by the county magistrate, otherwise how can you, a white man, be honored by me?" After Zhao Hua seemed to have a sudden realization, he then satirized Mrs. Wang again.

"You! Why can't I be considered your elder? Are you not Lin Yatou's sister-in-law, or the Lin family's daughter-in-law?! There are no rules!" Mrs. Wang pointed at Zhao Hua angrily, and cursed angrily.

"Hey! The county lord just came to visit by himself, why did he bring guests over? Eh? This lady looks very familiar, as if the county lord met once at Lin's house on the day the county lord got married?" Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Wang Xifeng secretly called out. He said no, and at the same time pretended to be unintentional and raised his voice to ask Zhao Hua about the identity of Mrs. Jiang.

"Mistress Lian has a good memory. This husband's surname is Jiang, and she is the mother of Mr. Jiang. Speaking of which, the Jiang family and the Lin family are also considered in-laws, but that is a matter of the previous generation, and not many people remember it now. My father-in-law was destined to have a relationship with Mr. Jiang, and Mrs. Jiang heard that I would come to Rongguo's mansion this morning, so she said that she should also come with me to meet my in-laws." Zhao Hua disdain to deal with Mrs. Jia Muwang and others However, Wang Xifeng, who had gone to the Lin Mansion to help preside over the overall situation, still had a good face. Seeing that Wang Xifeng changed the topic at this time, she suppressed her anger and replied calmly.

"Oh? Mrs. Jiang is interested. It's just that I heard that Jiang's family is far in the south. There is only one person in the capital who is not allowed to leave the capital because of his job. I have never heard of any family members coming to live in Beijing. I don't know Mrs. Jiang's visit this time Do you plan to stay in Beijing for a long time or do you have other important things to do?" After hearing Zhao Hua's explanation, Mother Jia's first reaction was that the Jiang family really had to come to the Rongguo Mansion for help, right?Otherwise, she wouldn't have nothing to say about the in-law relationship. Although she also knew that the Jianglin and Lin families had such a distant relationship, after all, the two families had never had any contact. Who knew if the other party wanted to establish a relationship on purpose?

"Naturally, I have something to do. My youngest son is in his 20s this year. Let's not talk about the older brothers, but the two elder brothers are almost ready to hold grandchildren. He is still alone. I Can this mother not be worried? That's why I made a special trip to Beijing to take care of his marriage." Mrs. Jiang smiled indifferently.

"So that's it. I don't know which girl I'm looking for? If you need an old lady to tell you, you can just say it." Jia Mu nodded knowingly, but looked at Jia Tanchun and Xue Baochai separately, seemingly unintentionally. .

"Could it be Sister Lin!? Oh! Come to think of it, our two families are indeed relatives. The old lady doesn't know. I've seen that Jiang Qiye a few times in Lin's house. He is a beautiful and handsome man. If it weren't for the elder sister My son is too young, and I really want to have a good son-in-law like Jiang Qiye, who is handsome and talented, and it would be great if Sister Lin could marry him." Wang Xifeng looked envious said.

"How did Sister Lin agree to someone?! Old lady! You said you wanted to marry Sister Lin to me a few days ago? Why are people robbing Sister Lin from me now? They really are liars! Liars! Hurry up and get rid of them!" Get out, old lady, tell someone to drive them out! Don't allow them to take away Sister Lin." Jia Baoyu was sitting next to Jia's mother and listening to everyone's conversation, even when his mother was about to quarrel with others, he didn't listen to him. No one wanted to hear that Lin Daiyu had been betrothed to someone else, and immediately went crazy.

"Bao Yu, don't listen to their nonsense. My grandmother hasn't agreed yet. Who dares to betroth Yu'er at will? Mrs. Jiang, since you are a guest at Rongguo's mansion, I naturally want to respect you However, this kind of marriage cannot be easily decided based on your one-sided words. The Lin family is young and inexperienced, so he has no control over Miss Lin's affairs, right?" Jia's mother was caught off guard by the trouble, and she hadn't told Huaining County yet. When the Lord asks to marry his granddaughter, the other party will give him a 'big gift' first.

Mother Jia is very proud of herself, not only in Rongguo Mansion or Jia's family, but also a granddaughter is no exception, but the two people in front of her slapped her in the face forcefully, she is Lin Daiyu's direct grandmother Naturally, she has the right to intervene in Lin Daiyu's marriage. How can anyone be allowed to make decisions about Lin Daiyu's life without her consent?

"Old Madam, don't misunderstand the son-in-law. The marriage between my sister and Jiang Qiye was arranged by the father-in-law before his death. I only found out about it in the past few days. The son-in-law said that the two families had exchanged Geng Tie a long time ago, and now it is only a matter of time." After the date of the appointment and invitation, my mother-in-law came to Beijing this time for this purpose, so the day before yesterday, the official media announced the auspicious date, and today I also want to tell the old lady about this happy event." Zhao Hua ignored Mother Jia looked at each other with angry eyes, and calmly stated the real purpose of going to Rongguo's mansion today.

"I absolutely don't agree! Yu'er's parents died young, and her marriage has to be decided by me and her two uncles. Besides, the Jiang family is just a merchant's family in the south. How can it be worthy of Yu'er?" Jia Mu Relying on his status as an elder, he firmly insisted that he would not recognize the Jiang family's marriage.

"Did the old lady understand just now? This, is, public, public, birth, before, fixed, next, of, marriage, matter, what is the dead, what is the order of the parents, I don't need to explain more The old lady should be able to understand, right? If the Jiang family’s marriage is inappropriate, I would like to ask the old lady who she thinks is worthy of her younger sister?” Zhao Hua saw that Jia’s mother seemed to be planning to use unreasonable troubles to ruin the marriage, so he immediately Pulling down his face, he said coldly.

"Yu'er can only marry Baoyu, and I will not admit anything else! So what if the marriage was arranged by Master Lin before his death? There is no evidence, who would believe it? The dowry has been delivered to Duke Rongguo's mansion!" Jia's mother was too angry for a moment, so she inadvertently lied about Lin Ruhai's entrusting property to Jia's family.

"Is the old matriarch's words slapping the face of the county lord? Or is it slapping the face of the Zhongsu palace?! Let the county lord's sister-in-law marry a white body?!" Zhao Hua was also angry, and put the teacup in his hand on the table. With a heavy release, he asked sharply. ?
