Red Mansions: No Tears

?After Zhao Hua and Mrs. Jiang returned to Lin's house, they went directly to Lin Daiyu's yard to talk to Lin Daiyu.

Seeing that they came back within an hour after leaving, Lin Daiyu was also very surprised, she hurriedly got up to greet her, and asked, "Why did sister-in-law and aunt come back so soon?!"

"If you didn't go, they would naturally not be willing to receive us." Zhao Hua curled his lips and replied indifferently.

"Just let me go with you, sister-in-law said no, but what happened?" Lin Daiyu thought that according to the temperament of the Jia family, how could it be possible to come back smoothly just by going around in circles?

"Oh~~ It's nothing serious, it's just that Mrs. Shi fainted from the anger of my few words. Speaking of which, that family is really more shameless than I imagined. Today's wife is also the first When we came to visit once, the second master Bao of the Jia family actually spoke nonsense in front of us, thanks to the wife in-law who is sensible, otherwise~." Zhao Hua still looked calm and calm, like the one who made Jia's mother faint People are not like her.

"The old lady passed out?! This is not very good. Maybe someone should come to my house tomorrow and order me to attend training." Lin Daiyu sighed weakly, thinking that now the Jia family had another reason to come to the house to make trouble.

Originally, Mother Wen heard that the old lady in the Rongguo Mansion had asked Zhao Hua to go to pay her respects in person, and she also expressed her disapproval. She felt that her uncle had no blood relationship with the Rongguo Mansion. The master decided to ask the second master Lian to bring back most of his wife's dowry, which already hinted that the two families did not intend to continue to communicate, and the old lady of the in-laws never expressed any objection. When the other party acquiesced, according to her thinking, there was no need for the county lord to make such a trip.

However, Zhao Hua thought that Lin Yu had the status of Lin Ruhai's son anyway. Lin Ruhai's son was equal to Lin Daiyu's brother. How could he really say that he had nothing to do with Rong Guogong's mansion?Even if she wasn't afraid of being talked about, Lin Yu's reputation must be maintained, right?So I think it's better to go there, and the grandmother of the family doesn't know about the granddaughter's happy event. There was no headed mistress in the family before, and this kind of thing can naturally be fooled. If it is still hidden now, how can it be Wouldn't it be her?Therefore, for the sake of my sister-in-law's future, Rongguo Duke's Mansion must be visited.

"That's unnecessary! My sister probably doesn't know something, right? Do you still remember that after the father-in-law died of illness, before the second master Lian followed you back to Suzhou, didn't someone bring a lot of things from Yangzhou back to the capital?" Zhao said Hua shook his head and said.

"Of course I remember, my brother said that it was something my father entrusted to the Rongguo Mansion, but he also said that those things are not expected to be returned by the people of the Rongguo Mansion. Besides, what else is there?" I don't know?" How could Lin Daiyu not know?She also knew that without that rich 'inheritance', Jia Lian might not have left Suzhou so simply to return to Beijing.

"So my sister doesn't know that almost all of the things that the second master Lian brought back to the capital were Jia's dowry items back then. Of course it can't be said that they are all. It was converted into silver taels or other items of equivalent value, and even gave a lot of extra things." Zhao Hua explained to Lin Daiyu with a light smile.

"So that's the case, but what's wrong with it?" Of course, Lin Daiyu knew the secular practice. The dowry of a married daughter is given after the death of the woman herself. If there are children, they can be inherited by the children; All, the natal family has no right to comment, so it stands to reason that Jia Min's things should be inherited by her 'daughter', or owned by the Lin family.

Because Lin Ruhai's last decision was very good, so Lin Daiyu has not been short of any silver taels so far, so except for the part that was put away from Jia Min's bedroom, I also asked about the farms in Jia Min's dowry. Apart from the business of the store, she never cared about where Jia Min's dowry went, but then again, shouldn't the property of the Lin family she always believed include Jia Min's dowry?So it's normal for all those things to fall into the hands of the Jia family, right?But... something seems wrong? ?

"After all, the Linjia family is just a pure in-law relationship. If the Jia family had not given birth to you during her lifetime, there would be no need for the two families to communicate after her death. The relationship between relatives, so generally speaking, very few foreign families will take back the dowry of their married daughters, because once it is taken back, it means that the two families will no longer have any relationship in the future. It may not necessarily recognize you as a granddaughter." Mrs. Jiang explained.

Throughout the ages, this in-law relationship is the most delicate. In fact, modern society is better. After all, transportation is convenient, and it is easy to move around with relatives and friends. When I read novels, it seems that women can still communicate with their natal families frequently after they get married. In fact, it is only for the upper-class circles that often have to use housewives to communicate with each other. Opportunities for people, but it is limited to everyone in the same city, otherwise, they will still not see each other for many years.

Jia Yuanchun once mentioned in the original book that when the elders sent her to that place where no one could be seen, they were not necessarily just complaining that she could not see her family for many years, but more because they were dissatisfied with Jia's mother for placing the hope of Jia's revival on her. , and refused to train the descendants of the Jia family well.

Lin Daiyu thought that with Jia Yuanchun's intelligence, could she not know that no matter how smart her younger brother was, he would still be an idiot who couldn't help him?Do you even disdain the career path at all?So what if Jia Baoyu is talented?As long as he refuses to use his intelligence to benefit the Jia family, the so-called hopes of the Jia family will always be floating clouds.

However, everyone in the Jia family, from the mother of Jia to Mrs. Wang, from Mrs. Wang to the descendants of the Jia family, was deceived by the saying that "baoyu born with jade is a person with great fortune", thinking that as long as there is Jia Baoyu in the Jia family He thought that with a virtuous concubine, he would be able to enjoy the glory and wealth, but no one thought that Jia Baoyu would be nothing without the Jia family?If the concubine Xiande died one day, what would the Jia family be?Just because it was unexpected, it was doomed to fall to the tragedy.

"But the old lady kept asking me to go to the Rongguo mansion from time to time. Does...she really don't understand the problem, or is she deliberately trying to confuse my ideas and make me think that the relationship between the two families has never been broken?" Lin Daiyu Nodding suddenly, she suddenly thought... No wonder Lin Daiyu in the original book was dying of illness, and this mother of Jia could still make sarcastic remarks at the side. How could Jia's mother at that time not recognize Lin Daiyu as her granddaughter?That's why she said coldly that she had given Lin Daiyu the wrong idea, and that she didn't care whether Lin Daiyu was dying or alive, and she only wanted to cheer the crazy Jia Baoyu wholeheartedly.

"I'm afraid that Mrs. Shi thought that her father-in-law's actions before his death had ulterior motives. It's a pity that first of all, there is no evidence in black and white, and second, she never really took it to heart, so today the county lord said two things. It is reasonable to say that the family broke up early, even if it is brought to the emperor for adjudication, Mrs. Shi will not be able to stand." Mrs. Jiang smiled indifferently.

It was only then that Zhao Hua remembered that when she and Jia's mother mentioned the things entrusted to the Jia family by her father-in-law before his death, Jia's mother said in front of everyone that it was the dowry given by her father-in-law in advance for agreeing to the marriage of Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, so she hurriedly Putting it aside: "Wife in-laws, please don't believe Mrs. Shi's words. The marriage certificate of our two families was written by the father-in-law before his death. It is not a fake at all. How can she ruin a good marriage just because she is an elder. "

"How can I be so ignorant? If you say that this marriage was witnessed by Mr. Yan back then, people in our Jiang family have never disbelieved Mr. Yan's words and deeds. I just think that Mrs. Shi's words and deeds this morning It’s just a little ridiculous, Yu’er, don’t be angry when I say this, after all, you should know better than me what kind of character those Jia family members are.” Mrs. Jiang shook her head, she despised the Jia family’s character. As, but also did not forget to explain to Lin Daiyu.

"Yu'er didn't dare, but she was very worried that the old lady would say something that would annoy Auntie." Although Lin Daiyu didn't see what Jia's mother would say, she could guess a thing or two. There is not much affection at all, let alone their gossip about her future mother-in-law, why don't you think about it, if her future mother-in-law is narrow-minded, what good life will she have after she gets married?But thinking about it, for Jia's mother, she probably thought it was okay to marry no one but Jia Baoyu.

"I'm not careful enough to bear grudges. After all, after you get married, there won't be many days when you can be filial in front of me. I just hope that you two can live a happy life with Lele. Besides, both of you are If you are assertive and capable, I don't have to worry about you not being able to support your own small family." Mrs. Jiang waved her hand and said indifferently.

Mrs. Jiang has long since lost the idea that she has to tie him to her youngest son who has not seen her face for many years. In the past, when Jiang Ke was young, she might still worry about this and that. At the beginning of studying in the capital, she also had the idea that she wished her son would not go anywhere and just stay by her side obediently, but as the next generation of grandchildren were born one after another, the family began to have a few more children. The embellishment of laughter and talking seems to have gradually disintegrated Mrs. Jiang's original mood of worrying about gains and losses. Until now... She feels that this time she came to the capital, apart from being busy with her youngest son's marriage, more often it was like I came to play.

Lin Daiyu thought about it for a while, and it seems that she is too! ?She heard that Jiang Ke will stay in the capital for many years, and Jiang's family is far away in Jiangsu. Although officials have long vacations every year to go back to their hometown to visit relatives, it is still possible if they only go back once every two or three years, but it is impossible if they go back every year. Yes, she thinks that the elders of Jiang's family may not want the younger generation to travel back and forth every year, and the matter of taking care of the elders...Jiang Ke is not the only son, and indeed he can be a little lazy about this kind of thing.

Since she didn't live with her elders, that kind of dislike would naturally not happen, and Madam Jiang wouldn't seek faults because she was dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law. To put it bluntly, she didn't have that much time! ! ?
