Chapter 38 The Red Chamber (38)(1/2)
Red Building 38
Lin Yutong knew that Shi Xiangyun would marry Wei Ruolan. I don’t know if there has been any change now. The description of Wei Ruolan in the book is "a talented and beautiful fairy man". That means that the Shi family did not treat Shi Xiangyun badly in the marriage. It would naturally not be inferior to the family of the Shi family. Otherwise, the two brothers of the Shi family would not be overwhelmed by other people's gossip. Besides, what would happen if Shi Xiangyun married other girls of the Shi family? So the Shi family might not have cheated Shi Xiangyun in this marriage. But this life is too long, who knows what will happen? Moreover, Shi Xiangyun and Wei Ruolan should have been with Qinser and Ming for a while after marriage. This further proves that the Shi family is able to live a big deal in dealing with Shi Xiangyun.
As for what Lin Daiyu said, "Where is the good thing that is full of all four corners"? Lin Ruhai is still alive and has a low official position. Many people think that their marriage with Wen Tianfang is flawed. And the problem is not small. Isn't the most rare thing in this world perfect?
Besides, not mentioning Shi Xiangyun's reputation in the Jia family, nor does he mention that this orphan without parents must not give the man too much help. He only "who violated his parents in the cradle." According to current opinions, it is absolutely a matter of hardship.
Such a girl will definitely be picked when she gets married. If the Wei family has no shortcomings, they will certainly not have made Shi Xiangyun a daughter-in-law.
The Shi family tried to find a suitable marriage for Shi Xiangyun at the suitable family. To be honest, it was true that uncle and aunt did this. Who would really hope that he could really be caring and considerate?
Wang Xifeng obviously thought of this and smiled: "It's appropriate for the old lady to say nothing else."
This is true. Lin Daiyu nodded before saying, "It's just that Yat-Yun is still a little anxious."
"It's too late for my silly sister to be serious. Other girls start looking at each other at the age of 11 or 2. After the six rites are over, they are about fourteen or fifteen years old. But it's not the best time for a girl's family." Wang Xifeng smiled helplessly. "Our family doesn't know what the old lady is planning. I was just about to go out today and asked the old lady with a joke. The second girl is not young. But the old lady didn't say anything. The eldest lady doesn't care about everything and only depends on the eldest master's handling, but the eldest master... It's better not to mention it. The second girl is looking for an honest and honest family with a simple population. I'm afraid she can live this life."
Lin Yutong sighed when she thought of Yingchun's future and continued, "Miss Three and Four are not the only ones who are in the hands of their sister-in-law. But the second girl is the sister-in-law's relative. Who can live alone and have a marriage or a relative may be used at any time."
Wang Xifeng also knew this truth and frowned: "I have been thinking about this for a day or two." Indeed, since Lin Yutong was given a marriage, she has been thinking about it. Taking advantage of the fact that her family is still in good condition, she quickly got the marriage of the girl's family. It's not a big family. Such a family is the one who cares the most sympathetic. If something really happens to the Jia family, it won't be able to live a better life. It's better to find some real people who can use it and not be afraid that these girls will not have any plans in the future.
Since he said this, Wang Xifeng sighed again: "I'm afraid that the old lady and other people's plans will no longer be able to agree with me. If I'm not worthy of my family, I'm afraid that the old lady will even blame me."
This is also the truth. Lin Yutong nodded her parents' orders and matchmakers' words are not easy for others to interfere without reason.
The three of them said for a while and Wang Xifeng was about to get up and say goodbye. Seeing that Lin Daiyu was about to get up to give her, she smiled and said, "The sun has come up now, don't come out and wander around. I'm so angry."
Daiyuxin said that she was afraid that her second sister-in-law would say something to her, so she stopped and said, "Then I will neglect my sister-in-law."
Lin Yutong and Wang Xifeng walked side by side in the corridor slowly and saw the girls following from afar and said, "Sister-in-law, just say something. You're welcome."
Wang Xifeng then whispered: "I have a business deal, should I do it?"
"What business?" Lin Yutong was not moved. She has never been idle these days. But don't take too much attention to the wisdom of the ancients. As long as Lin Yutong can think of the business, there are people who do it. If you want to do it well, you will not use Lin Ruhai's influence. But isn't this going to waste the money? What's the point? For the sake of the money that you will never lack in this life? Lin Yutong often comforts herself that she can enjoy the glory and wealth for the rest of her life. This is the greatest wealth. Don't lose the foundation of your foothold in this world.
Wang Xifeng whispered: "I really can't live at home now. There are so many smart people. I've got the money in my pocket and I'm going to ask her to take it out. I don't just want to supplement it like me, a stupid person. Now I'm starting to live by pawning. There is a big thief from the old lady who is with Ping'er. Do you know what the two of them were last time?"
Lin Yutong shook her head. The antiques that the Jia family had accumulated over their lifetimes were at a normal market price. Unfortunately, the prodigal son of the Jia family was always worried about losing face and always did some sneaky activities. Those pawn shops were so good at seeing people. When they saw this, they knew they were a person who didn't dare to make a statement. They gave some money and they would fight. If they really met a good buyer, they would sell more than ten times the money.
Wang Xifeng said hatred: "A Buddha statue made of golden fir trees was sold for only 500 taels of silver." After saying that, Lin Yutong was still puzzled. He couldn't help but say: "You are young and may not know what this thing is. I have seen the statue of golden fir trees in the Wang family, which was half smaller than the old lady. It was my uncle who bought it for 3,000 taels of silver. It was not difficult for the old lady to sell it for 5,000 taels. This is a heartbreaking me... The thing of golden fir trees is difficult to become a talent for a thousand years. Even if they become successful, they will not meet them in the deep mountains and forests. Even if they meet someone who has no knowledge, they are afraid that they will not recognize them. All kinds of opportunities happen to be cut by cutting it alone. It will be difficult to be too hard. It will take decades to dry after cutting it. In this way, it still requires carving. It is even more difficult to cut it without relying on this carving. Although it is not eye-catching, it is more expensive than gold."
Lin Yutong thought to herself that it was no wonder. She had only heard of the hemlock wood, but she really had never heard of it. Since Wang Xifeng said it was, it was natural. So she said, "What do you think about the second sister-in-law?"
"I only beat people to your shop, I want two layers of profit." Wang Xifeng thought to himself that since he wanted to be worthy, he should be worthy. The second key is to make friends with Lin Yutong. This is how people's relationships are like this. When they often go to interests, they are closer to others.
Besides, she wouldn't use this profit in vain. Anyway, it was the old lady's things that made money for Lin Yutong to make a connection for the whole family. After all, who doesn't know that Wen Tianfang is the emperor's confidant. The Jia family has too much time to beg for others in the future. Just think it's a way out. And I'll keep the money I get for the future and really defeated the Jia family. I won't starve to death at all. I can still live my normal life.
Lin Yutong thought about it and nodded. "You have to say what else." Wang Xifeng would not have thought about it well anymore. There must be a reason.
Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Only our business is to steal food from others."
Lin Yutong understood and smiled and said, "You really know how to kill people with a knife."
"Yongshu is not a good person. Over the years, I have been doing bad things outside with my family's signature. You just say it's not possible." Wang Xifeng said angrily with his eyes.
"Why can't the business you can make money by getting it?" Lin Yutong immediately responded. She didn't plan to really want Leng Zixing to do anything but normal business competition. It wouldn't be too late if he didn't stop and deal with him. As for bullying others, it seems that there are really no four words in her dictionary.
Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "That's going to be fine!"
When Wang Xifeng and Lin Yutong were sent away, they did not mention this matter to Lin Daiyu. They just hurried to the kitchen to arrange meals. When the sisters and sisters had used the meals, they knew that they were probably left in the palace by the emperor.
It was already half afternoon when Lin Ruhai came back. Lin Yuyang had already finished school.
When Lin Ruhai saw the eager gaze of the three children, he smiled and said, "As you as you wish, you are a wife who has come down from that fire shelf in moderation."
"This is a happy event." Lin Yutong smiled first and asked again: "What's the errand now?"
Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "I thought you didn't care about this."
"How can you not care? Brother Yang hasn't asked for his wife yet. Daiyu hasn't said that he is better than his father's position. We have a larger range of choices." Lin Yutong said with a smile.
After all, it was just for the sake of the younger brother and sister. Lin Ruhai sighed and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Yang Ge'er and Daiyu's marriage will naturally be carefully selected as a father. But the emperor's will hasn't come down yet, but there should be no dissatisfaction with it. Don't worry." The son's marriage is naturally the top priority. With Jia Min, the past lesson, how dare you be careless about the choice of your daughter-in-law? Only Daiyu's temperament is really in other people's family, just because it's a mother-in-law relationship, it's even more cautious.
Lin Yuyang's face turned slightly red and stopped talking. By his age, he already knew about personnel and affairs. Many classmates in the school already had girls who served in the house. His sister was strict with her family. When she was very young, her sister said that our biological mother was an aunt and she was a concubine. She lived a difficult life. So she didn't call her children to live such a difficult life. So Lin Yuyang was so grateful to her concubine for having sex.
Because of this, he accepted Wen Tianfang as his brother-in-law so easily. Not being able to do this is the reason why he looked down on Jia Baoyu and his indecent personal life are naturally related to his indecent personal life.
Lin Daiyu lowered her head uneasyly and made people unable to see clearly. Lin Ruhai naturally took everything in his eyes. He wanted to see what kind of person Jia Baoyu was.
Lin Yutong changed the topic and said: "I have invited someone from the Jia family today. I have already beaten them back. I just see when my father will go there."
"It's not too late to go to the Zhang family to meet you before going to the Jia family." Lin Ruhai said indifferently.
This is also a serious truth. After all, Mr. Zhang is Lin Ruhai’s uncle, so he naturally has to go to the Zhang family first.
But Wang Xifeng went back to the Jia family and reported to Jia Mu: "I thought it would be the first or two days. Uncle Lin is afraid that some people will be there when he returned to Beijing this time. I heard that he had entered the palace early this morning when I returned to the palace. When I came back, Uncle Lin had not come back from the palace. It was the emperor who kept Uncle Lin for dinner. This is a rare honor. I saw that the posts at the door of the Lin family were all filled with baskets. Isn't it take for two days to pick and read? Uncle Lin's current official position is more careful than before, and he is afraid that those jealous and capable people would say something arrogant or not. Why bother with our relationship with the Lin family at this time? Our family should be more considerate. I believe that Uncle Lin can also understand the love and favor of the old lady."
Grandmother Jia nodded with satisfaction. Although she didn't invite anyone back, she said so beautifully. She had face inside and outside.
"Thank you for your hard work, you have been here." Jia Mu smiled and said to Yuanyang: "Take two taels of tea that the Empress admired for Feng Yatou to try."
Yuanyang went with a smile. Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "In the future, if the old lady has any errands, it's okay to just hit me. I'll just give me some of the broken gold and silver you don't need to put in the curry. I won't dislike you anymore."
Everyone in the room laughed. Jia Mu smiled and rubbed her stomach. "This is really a monkey. I gave her tea and I thought about my money."
Aunt Xue smiled and said in her heart: "I'm afraid that my girl can only like this one, but this one is not possible."
It was not until the third day that Lin Ruhai made time to take his three children to the Jia family.
Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen and Jia Lian were all greeting each other at the gate. The middle gate was wide open to welcome the distinguished guests. Lin Ruhai, accompanied by everyone, headed towards Jia Mu's yard.
Lin Yutong secretly woke up and walked to Lin Ruhai and whispered: "The old lady must have many female relatives in the house and her father is more cautious."
According to the rules of not seeing a man, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang should not meet Lin Ruhai. Even if they meet, they should avoid it immediately. What's more, there must be Aunt Xue, who is not a widow.
The Jia family can be unruly and why should the family see their family? But Lin Ruhai is an official. He was not even a place to reason with him in court. Lin Yutong is too familiar with Jia Mu's style. No matter who comes, he will gather in the room. As long as she is willing, she will not care what the people outside think. There are few women in the Jia family who go out to visit. I guess no one invites them to go. Who doesn't joke about such style?
Lin Ruhai's heart was shocked, it wouldn't be so unreliable.
So he stopped outside Jia Mu's yard and asked Jia She, "It's still convenient for the old lady's house."
Jia She immediately understood and came over and quickly beat the girl in and asked the female family to avoid it.
Jia Mu waved her hand and said to Aunt Xue, "My son-in-law is just too pedantic." Then she ordered the girl, "Tell Aunt Lin, just tell me that the family is so shameful."
The words of the old lady from the Jia family were imperial edicts. The girl was still laughing a little when she passed the message.
Lin Ruhai looked at Jia She and Jia Zheng in almost shock. Seeing that they had no intention of rejecting them, he frowned and said, "The etiquette is so good. I'd better kowtow to the old lady outside." It's okay if they don't avoid it.
Where can this be done? Jia Zheng quickly beat the girl and asked the female family to avoid it immediately.
Jia Mu's face darkened and she felt a little unhappy. This was not only refuting her own words. In her opinion, this was a sign of Lin Ruhai's encounter with the Jia family. So she smiled and said, "Then let's avoid it first. Only Baoyu stayed to see his uncle."
When Lin Ruhai saw Jia Mu, he just bowed and bowed to the futon placed by the girl on the ground. "The old lady has always been good."
A bit of sadness appeared on Mu Jia's face, "When I see you, I think of my poor daughter."
Lin Ruhai always mentioned Jia Min quite impatient with Muslim Jia. In fact, the couple is not considered a loving couple. Besides, what is the poor daughter's relationship? She even married her to the Lin family and made her suffer and wronged.
Lin Ruhai complained a little uncomfortable with Jia Mu's words and said, "Yes! I often think of her. If she was still watching the eldest girl get such a good marriage, Brother Yang should be happy."
Wang Xifeng almost laughed behind the screen. If Jia Min was alive, the Lin family would have nothing left. I don’t know what the old lady was thinking. She just looked at Uncle Lin’s attitude towards a pair of illegitimate children, so she shouldn’t mention this. No matter how loudly she said, her aunt gave her so much money every year, so she should be more gentle. Now what is in front of her is a first-rank official who speaks in front of the emperor. What is the Jia family in the eyes of others? What’s more, now she is asking her that she is not placing the Jia family.
Jia Mu didn't know what Lin Ruhai meant. She cried and said, "I just felt sorry for Yu'er. The poor motherless child's father is not by my side. Now I'm old and can't take care of this child." As she said that, she looked up and saw that Lin Daiyu had lost weight a lot and immediately cried again: "I knew I couldn't tell you to leave my front for a while. I've just been so thin that I looked like this in just a few days. I don't want to feel sorry for me, the old woman."
Lin Yutong sneered in her heart, what does this mean? What does it mean to be unable to leave you for a while? He said that he did not dare to treat Lin Daiyu badly when he lived in the Jia family. Now that he left the Jia family, he has abused his legitimate daughter.
Lin Yuyang's hand then clenched tightly. It's really outrageous. What impact will the reputation of treating his legitimate sister have on his sister if he is harsh on his sister? If Jing Haibo was a hearsay person, the marriage would be ruined. What should the sister do in the future?
Lin Daiyu felt uncomfortable and was so willful that she asked her sister to have a meal first. She didn't go to Jia Mu and stood up and said, "Grandma, don't blame me for being thin in this mansion before, but now she said that my grandmother and aunts also treated me badly. It's just that the weather is hot and bitter summer."
Lin Ruhai stood up and was not ready to say anything more. He said, "That's right. While the sun is not so vicious, I will take the children back first. Yu'er's body is known by the old lady. I guess you won't blame it."
Wang said anxiously behind the screen: "Mr. Lin is too flirting with. If you are afraid of heat, you can stay with the two girls for a few days."
Jia Zheng quickly took over the conversation and said, "Brother-in-law is too polite. He has prepared water and wine at home and can eat a simple meal at least."
Lin Ruhai was so angry that Jia Mu dared to say anything, no matter what she said. She just smiled and said, "I don't leave much trouble today. Let's bother you again another day."
As he said that, he stood up and bowed, and saw that the young man beside the old lady was just staring at Daiyu. He immediately looked at Jia Baoyu even more angry and snorted coldly, turning around and leaving.
Jia Zheng suddenly turned red.
Jia Mu was stunned for a moment. Lin Ruhai really didn't leave any face at all and left. Jia Mu always coaxed her when it was her turn to coax others. Although she was upset, she couldn't say anything humiliating. She wanted to control Lin Ruhai and who knew that it would be like this.
When Wang Xifeng saw that it was not good, she came out by the reason of arranging someone to see off the guests. Why did she stay there and coax the old lady? Let's take it down. The old lady was like the uncle Lin, who was so obedient to her. Whoever provoked someone would deal with this matter? She would not interfere with it anymore.
But Lin Yutong closed her eyes as soon as she got on the carriage. She didn't want to say a word.
Lin Daiyu knew that her sister was still annoyed by her. She wanted to speak but didn't know what she should say.
Can Lin Yutong not hold her breath? Although she is not very heart-wrenching to Lin Daiyu, she is not bad. In the end, anyone can feel relieved when he is pointed at and criticized like this.
After arriving home, Lin Ruhai saw that Lin Yutong's face was not good and said, "Tong'er is wronged."
Lin Yutong shook her head and smiled slightly, "It's okay! Just have a clear conscience." After saying that, she returned to her yard.
Lin Yuyang hurriedly chased after him. In his eyes, no father or sister can match his sister's importance.
Looking at Lin Ruhai, a pair of children who were leaving, sighed. When he turned around, he saw Daiyu standing behind him with his head down. He couldn't help but frown: "How can you easily slander your body and your parents? You are so worthy of your sister who has been worrying about all day long."
Lin Daiyu only covered her mouth and cried. How could her grandmother slander someone like this? But it was her own fault. Others were a little sincere to her and she had a account in her heart. My sister really couldn't tell me anything.
Lin Ruhai was worried about how to coax the daughter cried again. Then she saw Lin Yutong turn back.
To be continued...
