The Double Soul of Red Mansions

As the year is approaching, no matter how much Daiyu doesn't want to meet people in Jia's mansion, she has to go to Jia's mansion with Lin Hai to meet them.

The wheels creaked against the snow, and Lin Daiyu sat crookedly in the carriage with a downcast expression.

Lin Hai is now busier than before at the end of the new year, and he will still be thinking about things with his eyes closed in the carriage.

"My lord, girl, we are here." The groom outside the car said.

Lin Hai's opened eyes were full of alienation and politeness. After finishing his clothes, he stepped out of the carriage first.

Several people exchanged pleasantries and entered the gate of Jia's mansion. As soon as Daiyu entered the mansion gate, she changed to a soft sedan and went ahead to meet Jia's mother.

Lin Hai followed Jia Zheng to his study first, and as soon as he entered the study, Jia Zheng said, "Sister-in-law, I have already dealt with Yu'er's matter."

Lin Haiduan sat on the chair, stroked the finger on his left thumb with his right hand and said, "But what I heard was even more confusing."

Regarding Daiyu being kidnapped, Lin Hai felt quite resentful in his heart.

Now, although the Holy Majesty wants to restrain himself and get Yu'er into the palace as a princess to read, Lin Hai knows that the rumors in the market have not changed because of the Holy Majesty's will. The more hands and feet they move, the more they will become suspicious.

What Lin Hai kept asking Jia Zhengyao was an explanation.

At the beginning, this matter was done by the Jia family, and Lin Hai must give an explanation.

"Sister-in-law, I have already explained this matter. Yu'er disappeared from the mansion inexplicably, and I also sent people to investigate for a long time, but there was no way to report it to the official. This matter can only be said to be a coincidence." Jia Zheng Seeming to be very distressed by this, he sighed deeply and said, "It's just because I care too much about Yu'er that I lost my sense of proportion."

Without waiting for Lin Hai to speak, Jia Zheng said again: "Now that Yu'er is under the care of the Holy Majesty, this girl who has entered the palace to serve as a companion to the princess has a good way out. These things are just echoing what others say, and we, Yu'er, will understand." Those who make it clear, these rumors will be self-defeating."

Lin Hai took a deep look at Jia Zheng and said nothing.

He got up and walked towards the door of the study.

"Sister-in-law, you..." Jia Zheng was very annoyed when he saw that Lin Hai didn't give him any face, but Jia Zheng always regarded himself as a literati, so he wouldn't show it.But in his heart, he felt that Lin Hai was too arrogant and something would happen sooner or later, and now he was just relying on the Holy Spirit's favor.As the saying goes, the country takes turns, one emperor and one courtier, what will happen in the future is still unknown.

Lin Hai knew that Jia Zheng had a problem with him, but he didn't care, now that Jia's mansion is already a thorn in the eye of the Holy Majesty, how long can he play around?

Although the ancestors of the Jia family had the merits of following the dragon, the descendants did not live up to it, and instead joined the struggle of the princes without knowing the so-called. Lin Hai didn't need to think about how the envious sage would deal with the Jia family.

However, with Jia Zheng's attitude now, he didn't intend to help, and he wouldn't even raise a little bit.

If Lin Hai hadn't hindered Jia's mother from being alive, he wouldn't even want to come to this Jia's mansion. Anyway, since the elder is still alive, he can still do what he should do. This should be thanks to Jia Minxiang for being with him for many years and giving him a birth. Thank you for your daughter's hard work.

Lin Hai has his own opinion about the world in his heart, and he knows exactly what should be compromised and what should not be compromised.

Three springs gather in Jiamu's house, but Baoyu is not in the house.

"Yu'er hasn't seen my grandmother for quite some time." Mother Jia waved to Daiyu with a smile, and Mother Jia was obviously in a very good mood today.

"Yu'er is tired and lazy, because it's cold and afraid of the cold." Lin Daiyu smiled and sat next to Jia Mu and said, "Grandmother loves Yu'er so much, she must not blame Yu'er."

"Sister Lin, we stepped aside as soon as you came, our ancestors miss you all day long." Tanchun said with a smile, "Sister Lin, you still don't know that Baoyu is now going to school to make a living, and he will come back in the spring of this year." Jinling has participated in the children's test."

"Now the whole family is waiting for Baoyu to be named on the gold list in the future." Jiamu continued, "Baoyu is a clever child. He used to be playful, but now he is patient. It is a surprise."

The corners of Daiyu's mouth twitched, no wonder she was so happy.

But where did the confidence to be able to go to high school come from?

As far as she knows, the imperial examination is not something you can just think about.Is it really appropriate to be so happy before the exam?

Fortunately, it has nothing to do with her, and Daiyu is too lazy to say more.

"Yu'er won't leave until after a new year. Now the house is deserted, and your elder sister Xue's family has also moved away." Mother Jia smiled with her arms around Daiyu.

Daiyu was silent about this, she knew that when her father came, it was time to say goodbye, so she didn't bother to explain so much.

"Sister Lin, I see that there are plum blossoms in the courtyard of Lin's mansion, and they are blooming just right now, why don't you invite us to have a look sometime?" Tanchun said with a smile.

"As long as the sisters are willing, Yu'er is ready to wait." Daiyu smiled and looked at Yingchun and said, "Second sister, I got a chess book a few days ago. I wonder if second sister is interested?"

Daiyu prefers to talk about light topics rather than talking about things.

"You, it's so hard to come to see grandma, what kind of chess are you playing!" Mother Jia said angrily, "Talk to grandma well."

Looking at Daiyu now, Mother Jia likes it more and more. Lin Hai has a high position and power, and the only daughter in the family, no matter how you look at it, she is the best match for her own Baoyu.Although the family has Yuanchun's help now, there is still a lack of support in the court. Now Jia's mother likes Daiyu more and more, as if she has forgotten her previous dissatisfaction with Daiyu.

Daiyu responded with a smile, and chatted with Jiamu about the Lin family affairs.

Mother Jia asked some questions about the court seemingly unintentionally, but Daiyu changed the subject.

Mother Jia couldn't ask Lin Daiyu anything, but when Lin Hai arrived, she smiled and beckoned Lin Hai to sit down.

"A few days ago, I heard that something happened in the court. Are you involved?" Jiamu asked.

"I don't know what mother-in-law is talking about?" How could Lin Hai not know what mother-in-law was talking about? Could it be that the fourth prince was reprimanded by the emperor, and now he has lost the right to be in charge of the household department and is under house arrest in the palace.Since the Jia family belonged to the Fourth Prince, they were naturally a little worried.

"I heard that the Fourth Prince angered Longyan. You usually walk in the hall, so don't cause trouble. You still have Yu'er. You should think about her," Jia Mu said.

Lin Hai nodded, feeling admiration for his mother-in-law.

Such high-sounding words are spoken with great sincerity, and one who is not aware of them will touch the heart of protecting the calf.It's a pity that he has already seen everything clearly.

"That matter has nothing to do with me." Lin Haidao, it was just a way for the father to suppress his son. What is this, there is still an action to be taken next, and the other princes will not be able to escape.

"That's right, today's quarrel between father and son is good tomorrow, you must not put yourself in it." Jia Mu said.

Lin Hai nodded and said nothing, father and son?There is no father-son relationship in the heavenly family.His mother-in-law is testing his tone, it's really not easy.

"It's getting late, and I have to enter the palace later today, so I won't be with my mother-in-law. The Chinese New Year is approaching, and I can't get away with all the troubles, so I will come to visit my mother-in-law early today." Lin Hai stood up and explained his purpose and said goodbye.

"You are busy with your work, but Yu'er will stay for a while." Jia Mu said, "There is also Baoyu's affairs, you have to take care of it. If you want me to say that people like us are donated officials, With Baoyu's temperament, she insisted on going to the next exam."

Lin Hai was really speechless. This mother-in-law was obviously showing off Baoyu's potential, but there was an ignorant sense of superiority behind her words.

Donate an official?The Holy Majesty is not blind. He really doesn't know what it means to be promoted without real talent and learning.

"Baoyu is promising. Once you pass the imperial examination, you will be a disciple of the Son of Heaven, which cannot be compared with donating officials." Lin Haidao, "Today, Yu'er will follow me back to the mansion, and we will come to see my mother-in-law again someday."

"It's hard for this girl to come here once. It's useless for a meal, so why do you have to leave?" Mother Jia still wanted her two sweethearts to get along well.

"It's really busy in the mansion. Now Yu'er is taking care of both inside and outside the mansion. The new year is approaching, so it's too busy. My mother-in-law will miss her baby someday. I'll let her visit you often." Lin Hai laughed. She signaled Lin Daiyu to get up and leave with her eyes. Daiyu didn't want to stay here for a long time, so she stood up with a smile and said something nice. Mother Jia reluctantly let Lin Hai lead Daiyu away.

"Mother, how is it?" After Lin Hai left, Jia Zheng went into Jia's mother's room, and now only the mother and son were left in the room.

"Slippery like a loach, you can't ask anything." Jia Mu shook her head, "Think about my idea, what Baoyu needs now is such a high-ranking Yue family, even if our side loses the bet, Jia There is at least one way out for the government to rise.”

"Mother, I have to think about this." Jia Zheng said.

"Think? It must be that your daughter-in-law has slapped you in the ears again. Although Yuanchun is a concubine now, don't forget that this concubine is just a concubine. Now there are two noble concubines Chen Huang and Zhou Wu, plus The fourth concubine is on top, Yuan Chun's heel is not steady, we can't put all our eggs in one basket." Jia Mu glared at Jia Zheng and said, "I know what you think, you want to say that the fourth prince is behind you, it's just a matter of time."

Being told what was on his mind, Jia Zheng chuckled and said, "Mother, the Fourth Prince is the child of Concubine Shu, with Concubine Shu watching over him, Yuan Chun will definitely succeed."

"You idiot." Jia's mother was very angry at Jia Zheng's anger, "Your wife is short-sighted, why does she praise Yuan Chun? It's nothing more than drawing us to work for the fourth prince, but don't forget, no For a woman who is willing to share her husband with others, Concubine Shu can have such a special favor alone. Among the four concubines, she and Concubine Hui are the only ones who gave birth to a prince. It's too late. Use your brain to think about it, can your mother be the simple master?"

"What does mother mean?" Jia Zheng asked tentatively.

"You were fooled by the lard." Mother Jia was furious, "Go back and think about it."
