[Red Mansion] Queen's Road

The two masters and servants smiled at each other.

Not only Wang Xifeng noticed that Zhou Rui's house came and went in and out these days, but Jia Lian also noticed it.

And Jia Lian's servant also said that the wife's dowry shop was originally a grain and oil business, but the wife asked the grain and oil to be withdrawn and the walls were repainted, saying that it was going to open for other businesses.

Jia Lian couldn't sit still anymore, so he sent someone to invite Cui Qiye over, and the two of them found a restaurant and muttered to each other.

The emperor came late, and he bowed his hands when we met, "Brother Jia, don't blame me, I'm late for something at home."

"What's the matter? Can brother help?"

The emperor waved his hand, "It's not a big deal, it's not that the eldest son of our family is going to study now, and invited seven or eight gentlemen, but my daughter-in-law felt that none of them were suitable, so she forced me to look outside again."

Jia Lian wanted to slap herself, why ask this question so much, she sincerely made herself feel uncomfortable.Let's talk about the things I care about today.

"Where is our wife..."

The emperor interrupted him, "Didn't we say that last time? Let this matter pass like this. Do you think you can control your wife now?"

Jia Lian sighed, raised his glass and took a sip.

Without making Jia Lian wait too long, Wang Xifeng heard the news.

"I heard people say that my wife opened a watch shop with them outside. I don't know what happened, and my grandma Liu seems to have broken up with her. Grandma Liu is asking for money now. She also said that if our wife doesn't take the money collected before If you go back, you will go to Shuntian Mansion to file a complaint."

Jia Lian was terrified, "Our wife is a Pixiu, so she won't spit out the money."

"That's right, I just said how powerful Grandma Liu is. She was so angry that she went to Shuntian Mansion to sue, but the officials in Shuntian Mansion didn't accept the case. It was because she cared about the imperial concubine in the palace. That official wife tried to persuade her. I went back and set down the wine to make peace with our wife for her.

People are right, everyone lives in the capital, so you don't see them when you look up.In particular, Yunsheng is still a big shop, and our family can be regarded as relatives of the emperor. We both took a step back. Yunsheng withdrew the money from his wife's shareholding back then, and his wife returned the dividends received. After that, the two families were evened out .I heard that Grandma Liu suffered a dumb loss and left just like that. "

Wang Xifeng went on to say, "On the surface, this matter seems to be handled fairly and reasonably, but Grandma Liu suffered a disadvantage, and the merchants are a little bit lower. Didn't the word "protection between officials and officials" be forgotten when fighting with officials? Think carefully about our eldest sister's future husband's family."

Jia Lian thought this guy was going to close the net.

But after waiting for half a month, there was no movement, and everything was calm.

After another five or six days, Mrs. Wang's shop opened, and now all the newly opened shops learn from Baocheng's name, the larger ones invite a troupe, and the smaller ones find some people to play at the door. Enter the door and send out some small wooden carvings, small toothpicks, small wooden hairpins and other worthless things.

The watch shop was quite noisy, and they invited people to sing a big show for three consecutive days at the entrance of the shop, and said that during these three days, all purchases were 8% off.

Many people went in to have a look. Although some people thought that these clocks and watches were too expensive, they could still buy them.In the past, these clocks and watches were all priceless things, and there was no place to buy them even with silver.

Many people bought these things and went back. The running water ten days before the opening made Mrs. Wang so happy that she almost couldn't sleep.After the shop made money, Mrs. Wang treated Aunt Zhao's mother and son with beatings and scolds, with a squinting smile all day long, just like a real Buddha.

The money was quickly put into the garden, and when the whole family was looking forward to the completion of the garden with joy, someone carried the bought clocks to the shop to make trouble.

There are problems with these clocks and watches, and they are just a look when you buy them home.

It’s okay if there are one or two families, almost all the ones that were sold came back.

At the beginning, those who came to return goods could sit in the store, but now there is no room for people to stand in the store, and many people are waiting outside with clocks.

It caused people on the road to watch, not to mention how these passers-by spread the word after watching, but the buyers who were deceived were also discussing with each other.

"After I bought it back, it was okay for the first two days, and then it got a bit slow. I didn't notice it at the time, and I missed several things. In the next few days, even the needle didn't go away. Why do you want this thing? If you really want to buy a decoration, it’s too expensive.”

"Tell me that if such a decoration is placed in the hall, we will be laughed at if guests come. Some people ask, why buy a fake one and put it here when there is a timepiece outside?"

"This time, I thought it would be fine if I could get half of the money back. You don't know that there are too many people coming to refund now, and this store doesn't plan to refund the money. They said that they want to replace everyone with new ones... this ship's goods It’s all like this, and I don’t dare to take the next boat.”

……

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly told Mrs. Wang about it, but Mrs. Wang didn't take it seriously at first, and only said a few words, "The money can't be refunded, it's already been spent, so what can I give them back?" Those people outside said that in a few days we will come back with new ones for them to replace.”

This statement also dissuaded some people, but most people still want to make a fuss and return the clocks and watches. They would rather return the full silver than these things.

The store only offers exchanges but not refunds, and even if it is exchanged, nothing can be seen.

Later, it was rumored that this shop belonged to the Rongguo Mansion, and those from small households didn't want to mess with such a family, so they had to pinch their noses and exchange goods.Those rich and powerful families think about such trivial things and let it go. If you live in the capital, it is better to have one less thing than one more thing, and then just replace it with a new one.All pinned their hopes on the new clock.

But waiting and waiting, there was no new clock at all.

These buyers are all in a hurry.In addition to serious buyers, there are also some people who bought these watches and clocks and sold them to merchants in the surrounding areas.Now I have pulled these clocks back, and they are also clamoring for a refund of the money.

Some people ran to the gate of Rongguo Mansion to make a fuss, threatening that if the money was not refunded, everyone would go to the government to make a fuss.

Mrs. Wang became anxious all of a sudden, and came to the old lady crying.

The old lady was so angry that she almost fainted when she heard about it.

"Let someone go to Shuntian Mansion to withdraw the case first, let's just do it privately. You take out the money and give it back to them, and then let your master go to those acquaintances one by one to apologize."

How can there be any money, the money has already been spent.

After the old lady heard this, she was violent with her daughter-in-law for the first time, and picked up the teacup at her hand and threw it at her head and face.

"Why did our family marry such a broom star like you. If it wasn't for the sake of the empress and Baoyu, I would let you go back to the Wang family this time."

Mrs. Wang just cried.

"Don't cry too, let someone quietly dispose of our two villages near the capital, take out your dowry, don't hide those private money, and pay it all away. Don't do this. If there is a big trouble, or the empress and Baoyu's face will be hurt."

Mrs. Wang knew that the old lady had a lot of money in her hands, but she didn't want to pay out the private money she had accumulated over the years.

"Old lady, the dowry and family money of the daughter-in-law will not be enough even if they are all compensated."

The old lady was trembling with anger, and called the mandarin duck over tremblingly, "Take the key to my warehouse, and look at the bulky and unused things to pick out, let everyone come over, and quickly get rid of these things, and quickly dispose of them." So that our second wife can get through this difficult time."

Yuanyang agreed and went out.

Mrs. Wang left the old lady's yard gratefully.On the way, I remembered something again, so I hurried to find the old lady.

"...The more my daughter-in-law thinks about it, the more she feels that someone deliberately set up a trap. Then Grandma Liu..."

"Let everyone Lai go to their house to invite people over, just say that my old lady wants to see this Grandma Liu, so it's possible that I, an old man, can't afford to meet a merchant!"

Everyone Lai ran to Cui's mansion quickly, and only half a day later, the seventh grandma of the Cui family came in a sedan chair.

Mrs. Wang opened her eyes and saw that she was a young and beautiful daughter-in-law, she raised her hands and raised her feet delicately, she was by no means the neat Grandma Liu she saw that day.

"No, no, it's not that Grandma Liu!"

Lai everyone hurriedly told the old lady, "This is the head grandma of their family, invited from their house."

The old lady already understood what was going on, but the play had already begun, and it was time to sing. "Sit, sit, sit, I don't know how to call it?"

"The maiden name of the slave family is Lin and the husband's family name is Cui. It all depends on the love of the old lady. You can call the slave family anything."

The old lady said politely, "Our relatives also have the surname Lin, so it can be seen that there is some fate."

Jiaojiao Qiaoqiao smiled on the other side, "Look at what the old lady said, who doesn't know that your relatives are in the capital, and the serious mansion of the country, the servant's family can't afford it. By the way, I heard from your steward that you want to find There is a grandma named Liu in our family, to tell you the truth, there is a concubine named Liu, and today the slave family brought her here."

Mrs. Wang immediately felt a little hopeful, and quickly looked at the door, and saw a young woman who was supported by a maid came in from the outside, and after bowing down, she stood up shyly and hid behind the old woman.

Cui's grandma spoke for this concubine, "A small family has never seen the world, old lady and wife, please forgive her for being rude, if you have any questions, just ask her."

Mrs. Wang quickly shook her head at the old lady, but the old lady did not give up. "A few days ago, my daughter-in-law sent a post to your residence..."

Cui's grandma quickly stood up, "Today I came here to make amends for this incident. A few days ago, my family just gave birth to our fifth boy, and after giving birth, I didn't come out to meet guests. This post has also been returned to your family. , This... is indeed a bit disrespectful, when I came here, I prepared some small gifts, and I asked the old lady and the wife to accept it..."

This is not a matter of gift or not, the old lady asked, "Grandma Seven remembers correctly, did you return it to us?"

"What does the old lady mean? Naturally, she returned it... I remember that it was an aunt named Zhou who went to our house that day. I didn't see it. Our maid went out to pick up the post. If you don’t believe it, you can call that lady named Zhou over to ask about it.”

At this time, the old lady felt that it was meaningless to ask or not, but Mrs. Wang did not give up.

"That's right, call Zhou Rui's family over."

Grandma Cui Qi on the opposite side turned her head and covered her mouth with her sleeve, and quietly gave a few instructions to the maid beside her. "After a while, Cui's maid also came over.

All of a sudden, the father said that the father was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right. The Cui family insisted that I returned your post.Zhou Rui's family was also bitten to death, saying that you didn't quit, and someone took your post to watch a show with our wife.

The concubine surnamed Liu standing behind Grandma Cui Qi burst into tears at this moment, and pulled Grandma Cui Qi's sleeve, "Grandma, let's go home quickly, these people are here to make things difficult for us. It’s just a business, let’s admit what people say.”

The maidservants of the Cui family standing on the side also said in a hurry, "Isn't it clear that we deliberately poured dirty water on our house, and used this excuse to join us in the army. When the time comes, our men will come to make amends, and we will have to force them Give them some of our family property."

After speaking, all the Cui family members in the room began to cry.

At this time, the old lady only felt that there were stars in front of her eyes, and stopped Zhou Rui's family.He also comforted Grandma Cui Qi with good words. Although Grandma Cui Qi looked worried in the end, the Jia family couldn't care less.

At this time, there is nothing to quarrel with the Cui family, and it is important to deal with things in the shop quickly.The old lady asked Wang Xifeng to come over, "You are all young daughters-in-law, if you have something to say, set up the banquet later, and invite the grandma of the Cui family to have a meal at home before leaving."

Wang Xifeng is a very special person, so after listening to the order, he went up and took the hand of Cui's grandma, "Come with me, follow me. I have wanted to know you for a long time, and I just have this good opportunity."

Poor Grandma Cui was dragged out of the yard by Wang Xifeng in a gust of wind.The old lady is here to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Okay, this matter has nothing to do with the Cui family. They have a big business and I am so busy that I hit the back of my head with my heels. What's the point of lying to you three melons and two dates."

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to stand up cautiously, and said a few flattering words before she backed out.

At this moment, I don't want to talk about it, and I put so much money in it. The more Mrs. Wang thinks about it, the more angry she gets. In addition, this matter is not glorious enough, so Jia Zheng quarreled with him again.

Jia Zheng didn't care why Mrs. Wang did such a thing, he just felt that he was ashamed in the capital, and had to go out to apologize to others.Sprinkle fire on Mrs. Wang, speak harsh words, and finally ignore the two sides of the husband and wife, "Or for the sake of the empress, I will give you a letter of divorce today, and left my house earlier. When I see you, I feel dirty." Blind."

After finishing speaking, she asked the servant girl to move all her belongings from Mrs. Wang's yard to Aunt Zhao's room, "...tell the steward, if you need to find me at Mrs. Zhao's place in the future, I won't come to this dirty and smelly place again."

Mrs. Wang almost went blind from crying, but she still couldn't keep Jia Zheng, so she told outside at noon that she was sick and wanted to lie down and recuperate.

Wang Xifeng dragged the grandma of the Cui family out of the Rongqing hall, and went to her own yard. The two sat in the hall, and Wang Xifeng asked the elder sister to be carried out.

Grandma Cui saw it, and quickly pulled out a golden hairpin from her head, "It's too late today, and I didn't bring any gift, let the girl play with this thing first."

Wang Xifeng took a cold look, and found that the gold hairpin was indeed a good thing, so she pretended to give way two or three times, and asked Ping'er to put it away.Then he quietly asked this grandma of the Cui family about the boys in their family.

The grandma of the Cui family said carefully, "It's just that they are usually too naughty. Our wife spoils them, so I can't say much..."

"Every family is the same, our old lady is very pampered to her grandson." Just as he was talking, Ping'er came over and said that the banquet was ready, Wang Xifeng dragged someone into the table, the two drank a few glasses of wine, and Grandma Cui said goodbye leave.

After the people left, Wang Xifeng asked Ping'er to take out the gold hairpin, and talked to Ping'er while admiring it. "How about Grandma Cui?"

"It looks like a soft temper."

"That's what I saw. Listening to our master's tone, it seems that the Cui family's grandma is a tigress, and she is in charge of the men in the family. She can't spend any money if she wants to. Only when I saw it today did I know that seeing is believing and hearing is not. You said she has such a soft temper... In the future, when our sister marries in, she probably won't bother her daughter-in-law."

"Hasn't grandma given up already?"

"It's good to marry someone who knows the basics. Look at this golden hairpin. It's a good thing to use. It was pulled off from the head at random, and it was aimed at the family's rich family. Our girl will not be affected if she marries in." What a grievance. At that time, let's just raise our girl better, as long as she can control her husband, it is better than anything else."

Ping'er put the gold hairpin into the box, "You have to think about it, when our master comes back, you two can discuss this matter.

I just heard that my wife is sick..."

Wang Xifeng sneered, "It's not because I'm sick, it's not to hide my ugliness. Inside the family, only the old man and the old lady know about it, and outside, only Aunt Xue knows about it. Our family knows about it secretly, so she's afraid of embarrassment... ...Do you think I will go and see her later?"

"Of course we're going. We're juniors after all. I'll prepare the things for you. You can take your things with you after a while."

Wang Xifeng smiled and glared at Ping'er, "You have become my master now, what else can I say."

Mrs. Wang went to the room quietly, Caixia brought Wang Xifeng into the room, and saw Mrs. Wang lying on the bed with a forehead mop tied on her head and a wet towel covering it.

"What's the matter, ma'am? Has the imperial doctor come? What should I say?" Wang Xifeng trotted over quickly, sat on the bed, and asked a series of concerned questions.

"The left and right are just some Taifangzi, so let them take good care of them."

"Ma'am, it's just that this part is too tiring..." Wang Xifeng opened his eyes and said nonsense.

Then he asked Mrs. Wang, "What do you want to eat today? I'll go to the kitchen later and order them to make it for you."

"I have no appetite, I can't eat...in the garden..."

"Don't worry, your illness will recover in three to five days, and then you can just get up and worry about the garden." What Madam Wang wants to say, does Wang Xifeng know?I just wanted to ask Wang Xifeng to come up with an idea to get some money, Wang Xifeng thought, if I had such an idea, I would put the money in my pocket if I got it, and could I use it to build a garden?

Mrs. Wang felt a headache even more, and she didn't complain that she was uncomfortable at this time, she closed her eyes and thought about what to do next.

The room was quiet, Wang Xifeng thought that otherwise he would leave now, maybe he would have to pick up some errands after sitting for a long time.

"Is my wife asleep? You go to sleep for a while, and I'll go to the kitchen to have a look."

Mrs. Wang couldn't think of any good ideas, so she nodded.Wang Xifeng met Xue Baochai head-on when she arrived in the courtyard.

Xue Baochai walked over waddlingly with a servant girl, saw Wang Xifeng from a distance and laughed, "I'm here but you have to leave, you're usually so busy, I can't see you, today I finally met you , Look at it and let you hide."

"If Miss Bao wants to talk, just ask a girl to send me a message. I will run over and have a good time with the girl. At this moment, Miss Bao is not playing chess and reading books with Brother Bao, how come here? side coming?"

"Just now my brother came home and told my mother about something. My mother asked me to pass a letter to my aunt. I heard that Uncle Lin Guo invited a famous Jiangnan scholar named Su today. I heard from my brother that This famous person is quite good at building gardens, and if he comes to his house, he will also build a garden."

Wang Xifeng raised her handkerchief, "Everyone is building it now, it would be strange if their house wasn't built, Miss Bao just go in, I'll go to the kitchen now to have a look."

Lin Hao took Su Mengzhai to the garden of his home, which was only about an acre in size.Pointing to this piece of land, he gestured to Mr. Su, "Look, Mr. Su, take this place as the center and draw a range of one mile in all directions. Just build a garden of this size."

This Mr. Su shook his head after hearing this, "It's too small, too small. If it's a garden with a radius of two miles...it's not called a garden, it can only be called a yard."

"There's nothing we can do about it. You also know that none of our neighbors want to move, and we can't find a place to expand, so we have to wrong the empress."

"The place is small, and there are not many things that can be repaired... You can tell me what kind of things you want to repair."

Lin Hao lowered his head and thought for a while, "My father has to make up his mind on this matter."

After Lin Ruhai came home from the yamen, he changed his clothes and came here. Mr. Su and Lin Hao were both waiting for him.

After Lin Ruhai knew about the discussion between the two of them, he held his beard and thought for a while, "Let's fix it to be able to live."

When Mr. Su heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, I don't know what to do with what you said... People who can live are divided into three or six grades. Please explain in more detail."

"The old man has two daughters. Although this garden was built to welcome the empress back home, after the empress left, if the door was closed, it would be much more empty. I heard that before the emperor went to the south of the Yangtze River for inspection, some ministers came to welcome her. The garden built by the driver was later moved in by family members. The old man thought that if the mother could not live, he would give it to the old man’s youngest daughter. When the youngest daughter is married, there will be a granddaughter to live in for the granddaughter. What does Mr. Su think?"

"This is easy to handle... The boss means to build a boudoir embroidery building."

Lin Ruhai nodded.

This Mr. Su stood up and looked at it for 4 weeks, and immediately drew a sketch on the table with his finger dipped in tea.

"Forgive me to be blunt, the area allocated by your mansion can only be built on the first floor of a lake, surrounded by rockery, planted some flowers and trees, and placed a corridor on the lake. It will become cumbersome to put in more.

In fact, it is best not to build the corridor in my opinion.If it is built, it will be a bit crowded. It would be better to just be a lake with nothing on it. The building will be two stories high. When the time comes to open the windows on the upper floor and you can directly see a lake, it will look wider. "

"Mr. is a master of gardening, and everything is subject to Mr.'s orders."

Mr. Su was obviously happy when he heard what Lin Ruhai said. He hated the kind of people who didn't understand and meddled indiscriminately. Take it easy.

"Boss, please sit at home first, and send the drawings in three days. If there are any inappropriate ones, we will change them."

Lin Hao quickly sent the man away, and after Lin Hao sent the man out, Jia Min brought the man over.

"Master, how is it?"

"That Mr. Su said just now that he can only build a lake and a building."

After hearing this, Jia Min shook his head, "That's too little... The empress said that if the money is not enough, she has more. Besides, if our garden is not as good as others', it will be embarrassing." Isn't there no light in the sky?"

"As a woman, my mother doesn't rely on this garden to support her. Why waste it? Firstly, there is really no room in the house, and secondly, I can't use my mother's private money to build a garden. I can't do it for To build a garden, our family's money is wasted, regardless of the other children.

Don't worry about this matter, just tell your mother what I said.Tell her that it's not that I am a father who doesn't want to give her this face, and ask him to think more about her three younger siblings. "

Linlin really felt that it didn't matter, facing Jia Min's ashamed attitude, she wanted to explain Jia Min again.

"The meat of the bun is not on the folds. If the place is smaller, the place should be smaller. I'm already married. Is it possible that I can still live in my mother's house every day? Just go back for a day or two, so don't think too much about it.

Let me also be fair, our old lady gave me a lot of things when she was alive. When I got married, you and my father added a lot of dowry to me because I was the queen.If at this time, the money in the family is spent to build a garden, what will the younger brothers and sisters do?

As long as the family is healthy, you and my father are in good health, my two younger brothers can grow up, and my sister has a good husband's family, that's enough for our family. "

Let Linlin say to herself that her natal family gave her a lot of things. When she got married, the start-up capital for doing business was her dowry. Although she has paid back her capital now, these assets outside are still supported by her original dowry money.

If her son becomes the emperor in the future, Linlin will hand over these things in her hands in a very peaceful manner. If the person who ascends the throne is not her son, Linlin will make a fuss... Maybe the emperor hasn't noticed yet , but Linlin has grasped the economic pulse of this empire. It can be said that she has quietly controlled half of the country.

Linlin carefully hides the contradictions between the commercial society and the farming society, not daring to expand at too fast a speed, and all she wants is to be silent and unobtrusive.

So this is why she didn't insist on using her own money to make a face for herself, and vigorously built a family home.

There are few small buildings in the Lin family's place, so it was built early.

But few families have the courage to come and take a look.Those who rushed over to have a look were not ordinary people.

Qilin's bodyguard Jiang Xi stopped Lin Hao on the road.

Lin Hao followed Jiang Xi into a teahouse, and saw Qilin sitting on a chair with a little boy shorter than himself, shaking his legs boredly.

"Uncle, you are here. We have been waiting for you here for a long time. This is my second brother Bai Ze, uncle, have you never seen him?"

Lin Hao was almost scared out of his wits, and quickly looked around, but he didn't see the emperor.

"Why did you two come out? You two are still children, why did you run out?"

Bai Ze pouted, "Does uncle not want to see me? I haven't even seen uncle."

"No, there are many bad people outside..."

Jiang Xi interjected appropriately to explain, "Your Majesty said that you can't raise two trash snacks, so she specially gave the next bunch of copper coins, and brought the two Highnesses out to buy things.

The two Highnesses heard someone talking about repairing the garden on the street, and heard that your mansion has already been repaired, so they clamored to have a look. "

Bai Ze pulled Lin Hao's clothes, "Uncle, my brother and I have taken a fancy to a pair of big boys across the street, but our copper coins have already been spent, can you buy them for us. "

Jiang Xi said the empress's request with a straight face, "The empress said, you are not allowed to borrow money, and you are not allowed to let others buy it for you brothers. You can only spend the bunch of copper coins."

Qilin covered his ears with a headache, "Old Jiang, can you not talk."

Only then did Jiang Xi's voice fluctuate a little, "Your Highness, although I'm not good at reading, I just heard so much from your mother, it's for the benefit of both of you. Your mother is right, there are so many things in the world, it is impossible to buy them all. Come down, what you lack and what you buy, you have to decide for yourself, you can’t let things be your masters, and you can’t think about other things just because this thing looks good and fun.”

Qilin is also a child who can listen to persuasion. "All right, all right, don't talk about it. Isn't it okay if you don't buy it? Anyway, Bai Ze spent all the food money...Uncle, we have no place to eat now, so we can only follow you."

What can Lin Hao do?Of course, he quickly brought his two nephews home.

Lin Hao brought the two brothers home. When he first entered the house, he was followed by seven or eight guards dressed in plain clothes.

After the group of people entered the house, more than 30 people jumped in from outside the wall.

Lin Hao was no longer surprised.

The weather was not too cold at this time, and Jia Min was in the backyard with a pair of young children.Lin Hao led Qilin and Bai Ze directly to the backyard.

The two brothers often saw Jia Min, and when they met, they called their grandmother affectionately.Jia Min hugged the two happily in his arms.

He also asked people to invite the master back quickly, and asked people to prepare a bed for the two brothers to take a nap.

After busy giving orders, Lin Ruhai also went home.

The two brothers also knew that the thin old man in front of them was their grandfather.Quickly break free from Jia Min's arms.After tidying up the clothes, I bowed to my grandfather.

Lin Ruhai welcomed the two brothers in an official tone, but his eyes looked at the two brothers from top to bottom.

Qilin is older and behaves in a relaxed manner, and he knows that he has read several books when he chooses words and sentences when he speaks.On the other hand, Bai Ze likes to be coquettish and foolish, presumably because of his young age, the empress is too spoiled for him.

The two brothers seemed to know etiquette rather than domineering. Lin Ruhai was very satisfied, and felt that her daughter would really be able to raise children.

After sending Lin Hao and Lin Jiao to take the two brothers to play in the newly repaired garden, Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and sat down on the seat.

"How does the master look? I usually say nothing wrong when I go home. When the lady is free, I will read to the two highnesses and make some sense. Now the two highnesses are not arrogant..."

"I didn't see arrogance from His Highness the Crown Prince, but the Second Highness is indeed a bit squeamish."

"The Second Highness is still young, and the Fifth Highness is breastfeeding now. The empress is now focusing on the Fifth Highness. When she recovers, she will naturally teach the Second Highness."

Lin Ruhai nodded. In short, Lin Ruhai was really happy with these two grandchildren, but he just didn't say anything.

Everyone in the family could understand, Lin Daiyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled.

"Father has finally fulfilled his wish. In the past, when mother entered the palace, father always stretched his neck and waited. Now that he saw the person with his own eyes, although he was somewhat hidden, he was still very happy. "

Lin Ruhai was indeed a little happy, and a little overjoyed, and he was a little careless when he spoke, "If your children come home, I will naturally be happy too..."

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she quickly stood up, covered her face and ran out.Jia Min complained to Lin Ruhai, "Why is the master saying this? Could it be that you told the girl's family?"

Lin Ruhai also knew of her mistake, but she was sobbing. "When the empress was not married, if I told her these things, she would not be ashamed."

Linlin had a better relationship with her father when she was young, so Lin Ruhai was able to talk about a few small things about her when she was young.

After finishing speaking, Lin Ruhai stood up, "I'll go to the garden for a walk, and arrange a banquet when we come back later."

Qilin had been to the West Garden before, and after seeing the Lin family's courtyard, he didn't think there was anything special about it.It doesn't matter if you glance at it twice, and talk to Lin Jiao more.

The two had never met before, but they had something to talk about after they met, and they were still chatting at the dinner table while eating.On the other hand, Bai Ze didn't see Lin Daiyu very often, and when he saw him, he wanted to go to her and let his aunt hug him.

Lin Daiyu also likes this little nephew, but it's a pity that little boys and little girls like to play with different things. Lin Daiyu wants to take her little nephew to play chess and study, while Bai Ze wants to play knives in his little uncle's yard.

After playing for a long time and having lunch, Lin Hao personally sent the little nephews back to the palace, watching them enter the palace gate before returning home in peace.

After half a month, Jia's garden was completed.

Only the frame has been built, but the finer decoration inside has not been done, so guests and friends have been invited to visit their garden.

Lin Hao thought, the Jia family probably has no money, and inviting people to visit at this time is actually to make money.

I didn't take this matter to heart, and made up my mind not to go.

But the Rongguo Mansion was very persistent, the posts were delivered five or six times, Jia Lian ran away twice, and Jia Zheng ran into Lin Ruhai once on the road.

After thinking about it, Lin Ruhai decided to take his sons to visit the garden of Rongguo Mansion.

When I went there that day, I found that there were no outsiders in the Rongguo Mansion. Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, and Jia Lan accompanied the Lin family, father and son, to the front of the relatives' villa.

A group of people first stood outside the gate to look at the faces of these doors.

Jia Amnesty yawned several times as if he hadn't woken up.Jia Zhen apologized, Jia Lian called the left and right servants to serve, and Jia Zheng took Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan to treat the guests.

"How does my brother-in-law look at the gate?"

Lin Ruhai stroked his beard, "Unconventional, these tiger skin stones are hard to find. It is the right place to use them in this place."

Everyone in the Jia family held their heads high and held their chests high.

Lin Jiao was a little unhappy seeing them like this, and couldn't help but want to step on them, "The gate of our house is made of granite, all of which are light red, and it will shine brightly when the sun shines."

Lin Ruhai turned her head and scolded, "Shut up, the grown-ups here are talking, so there's no place for your child to interrupt."

Then he turned around and apologized to the Jia family, "My child is ignorant, let's continue to look inside."

Jia Amnesty liked Lin Jiao's temperament, "My brother-in-law is too polite, brother-in-law can't go back and discipline the children just because of this, I just like this kind of talk." Turning around, he asked his servant to get a fan Give it to Lin Jiao.

Jia Lan, who was talking with Lin Jiao just now, leaned closer to his grandfather, feeling a little disgusted by Lin Jiao's random interruption.
